The Ultimate Private Sailing Yacht
In a luxury yacht market populated by vessels distinguished more by interior appointments and professional crew rather than sailing qualities, J Boats introduces the fast J/65 cruising/racing sloop that will be more fun to sail by its owners.
With nearly 14,000 owners and an outstanding reputation worldwide for seaworthiness and handling ease, earned by the larger J's (42, 44, 46, 48' J/145 & 53' J/160), it's not surprising that this "J Flagship" passagemaker is the ultimate private sailing yacht for dedicated J sailors around the world.
The design brief was simple: exceptional performance under non-overlapping headsails, double-handed ease of operation, minimum on-deck maintenance, luxurious accommodations, stunning aesthetics and great value.
Sloop-rigged, J/65 is long and lean with low wetted surface, allowing the boat to be easily driven with a moderate sailplan in light airs. To make target cruising speeds of 9-10 knots, J/65 won't be as dependent upon auxiliary diesel power as most vessels in her category. A graceful sloping sheerline, and flared topsides allow for a sleek and purposeful silhouette and a dry, comfortable ride.
The large, protected aft cockpit offers plenty of space to get comfortable as well as great protection offshore.J/65's versatile sailplan accommodates both a cruising set-up with main and roller-furling small jib, and a powered-up performance program with overlapping headsails and asymmetric spinnakers tacked to the stem or flown from a carbon spinnaker pole. All it takes to hoist, furl and trim the sails is to push a few buttons.
Hull #1 is optimized for "high performance global cruising," with an extensive systems package (AC/ heat/ genset/ inverter, etc), bow thruster, hydraulic winches, hydraulic furler/windlass package, and a 9' draft all-purpose keel.
Hull #2 is more optimized for distance racing with pared down systems, lightweight end-cabin accommodations and a 10.5' draft racing keel. Staying true to the philosophy that comfort at sea translates into comfort at the dock, J/65's interior delivers both on style and function. There are three private cabins, a large main saloon, a large navigation station, spacious galley and an abundance of storage.
This ocean-proven layout allows secure fore and aft crew movement below, even in rough conditions. Owner customization of the interior layout is contemplated within the confines of the structural/systems layout.
Owner's Notes: When thinking of our experiences in the first 3000 miles or so of open ocean and inter-island sailing aboard my new J/65, the words that most frequently come to mind are "power" and "elegance." You don't have to have sailed the boat to know that the J/65 is drop-dead gorgeous. But you have to have felt her load up in 25-30 knots of breeze in the rough Hawaiian channels to fully appreciate how that elegant hull thrives on pressure. Downwind, this takes the form of a fast and uncommonly smooth and stable track even in big, quartering seas. From San Diego to Hawaii, we sailed west for hundreds of miles under working sails alone, making a steady 10-12 knots with true finger-tip steering. Upwind, the boat takes off her jacket, heels to about 15 degrees, and simply charges--slicing through the big chop and cross swells of the channels like a destroyer--smoothly shedding green water before it ever reaches the hatches.In all this action, our friends move around comfortably in the big cockpit, taking advantage of well engineered handholds, without the need to hurdle a traveler system. What a thrill.
At nightly anchorages or underway, the J/65 provides us with softer pleasures below. In sharp contrast to the highest-tech synthetic materials topsides, the rich, well-lighted mahogany surfaces and joinery below offer a warmly inviting environment.
An ingenious array of stowage spaces though-out the boat accommodates a complete inventory of tools, spares, supplies, and emergency equipment without commandeering cabinets and lockers reserved for other purposes. This is particularly true in our galley, within which we can stow sufficient provisions for weeks of serious cooking and fine eating without invading the other spaces of the boat. (Our sliding basket pantry is the envy of every visitor with cruising experience.)
Guests are genuinely comfortable in the J/65's aft cabins. They have good head room, lots of natural light; and they aren't required to live out of duffel bags. Couples say they are quite comfortable in the double quarter berths--even those who aren't honeymooners.
A favorite new space is the passage cabin that provides much additional stowage and a fine berth for guest or crew. I won't detail the pleasures of the forward owner's cabin except that its elegant form and functionality have fully met the hopes and expectations of the boat's young owner.
The next few years should see us logging a lot of miles in Hawaii, the South Pacific and elsewhere on J/65 Hull No. 1. The first 3,000 miles have left me convinced that this powerful, elegant yacht fulfills the dream of the ultimate racer/cruiser inspired by our beloved J/160.

As many as three tornadoes may have hit in Young County on Friday night, according to the sheriff.
The Young County Sheriff Bryan Walls said the tornadoes were near Eliasville. One house that took a direct hit was damaged, the sheriff said.
There are uprooted trees, and one roadway is blocked with debris, he said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The storms also produced baseball-sized hail in the area after the apparent tornadoes.
No injuries have been reported.

Where Do You Get Hormonal Birth Control?
Hormonal Birth Control
Pill, patch, ring, shot? Lots of terms, but one basic concept: this category of BC uses hormones to trick a woman's body into not getting pregnant. How? By making sure that no egg is released from the ovary or that the cervix prevents the sperm from reaching the egg. Hormonal methods are great for preventing pregnancy, but do not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.


text: Some US dairy farms inject the genetically engineered hormone rbGH, also called rbST, into their cows to boost milk production. There are now many dairy products with labels that indicate they do not use rbGH or rbST. Their cows may still be fed GM feed. Organic dairy products are, however, all rbGH-free and do not use GM grains as feed.

The Monticello Buckaroos finished second in 1A in the annual All-Sports Awards recently announced by the Deseret News.
Schools earn all-sports points by placing in the top eight in the various state tournaments held throughout the year. The Bucks scored 59.5 points to finish second to Panguitch, who scored 74 points.
Monticello boys had an amazing year, scoring 41.5 points, more than any other schoolboy teams total except for 5A Lone Peak. The Bucks boy medal haul included three state championships in cross-country, basketball and wrestling. They also were third in golf and sixth in football and track.
Monticello girls' 18 points included second in cross country, fourth in track, fifth in volleyball, and eighth in basketball.
Panguitch won the 1A All-Sports Award mostly on the backs of five state championships, boys and girls track, girls basketball and cross country and boys baseball, as well as two seconds in boys cross country and basketball.
San Juan scored 34.5 points in 2A. Emery was first with 67 points.
San Juan girls had two seconds in volleyball and softball with a fifth in tennis for 20 points.
SJ boys had 14.5 points, with a fourth in track, fifth in cross-country, and sixth in football and tennis.
State Championships
With a state championship in basketball this year, just the second basketball title for the Buckaroo boys in school history, Monticello High captured its 50th state title.
The San Juan Broncos are closing in on 50 state titles as well, with the 2013 state championship in softball being the Broncos' 41st.
In 1970, the Bronco boys won San Juan High's first state title in track with Terry Taylor as the coach. Taylor was also at the helm when the Broncos won their second state championship the very next year, the famous undefeated 25-0 boys basketball championship.
Volleyball, as everyone knows, enjoys the most Bronco championships with 11, the first in 1993 under Mary Thornton and the most recent in 2010 under Cassy Moon.
Boys track has the second most championships for SJ, with seven. Dennis Jones coached the first one in 1972. JL Thornton coached the Broncos to three track tiles before Brent Flavel was the coach for three more titles in the early 90s.
Football is next with six titles, three under Art Burtenshaw, the first in 1989, and three more with current Bronco head coach, Monty Lee, the most recent in 2010.
Five state championships were earned by the Bronco girls in track, with four different head coaches, Kayla Walker the first two, JL Thornton, Diane Lagoon, and Janet Elkington, the last three, with the last one coming in 1989.
Bronco baseballers have four titles, with JL Thornton in 1990, Monty Lee in 2001 and Mike Bowers in 2006 and 2010 doing the head coaching duties.
Softball has three, all coached by Craig Swenson.
Boys basketball has two, with the second coming in 1992 when Dennis Jones was coaching the Broncos.
Kimberly Hiatt coached the girls cross-country team to two titles, too.
By decades the Broncos won six state championships in the 70s, six in the 80s, ten in the 90s, 14 in the 2000s and five already in the current decade.
Cassy Moon has the most coaching state championships with eight. JL Thornton has five in three different sports. Interestingly, his wife has one, too, in a fourth different sport for the versatile Thornton coaching crew.
Monty Lee has four in two sports, football and baseball and still counting. Art Burtenshaw, Brent Flavel and Craig Swenson all have three, with Tracy Johnson, Terry Taylor, Dennis Jones, Kim Hiatt, Mike Bowers and Kayla Walker all with two each.
Last week, Sportshorts reported that Austin Maloy was named to the 2A All-State Baseball team and wrote, "Maloy becomes perhaps the first all-stater in baseball ever for Monticello, at least in my memory. If Sportshorts (SS) is off on this one, someone will let us know, I'm sure, and please do."
Thankfully, someone did because another Buckaroo was once named first team all-state in baseball. That would be Jeremy Jones, who was selected first team in 1998 for the Buckaroos. Jones was also named defensive MVP of the 1A&2A vs 3A all star game that same year before pitching two years for Snow College.
Interestingly, that same year, Doug Garner, also a senior for the Buckaroos, was named to the second team all-state.
Junior Golf
Tyler Ivins, PGA Pro at the Hideout Golf Course is holding a free golf clinic for youngsters. Reports Ivins, "It will be June 26, from 9 to 12, for juniors six and up. We will cover putting, chipping, and full swing.
"It will be free of charge, and we will provide some clubs if kids don't have any. Also, lunch will be served. Registration will be from 8:30 to 9 a.m."

I posted in Add JScrollPane to a JPanel - Stack Overflow but I didn't get answer.
I declared a JPanel with a Gridlayout(8,1,0,2), I want 8 rows appear in this panel. A row is a JPanel to, I set the size to make the 8 row panels appear in the big panel. If the number of rows pass 8, I get two columns ... I added a JScrollPane but it doesn't appear. Testing button at the place of button, the scrollpane appear but returning to panel it disappear..
How can I do ??

Ablack-and-white psychological horror drama, set during Britain's 17th-century Civil Wars and involving buried treasure and trippy hallucinations?
Hi-ho, director Ben Wheatley and his co-writer wife, Amy Jump, are back in town.
"A Field in England" is the latest and most fiercely strange film from Wheatley, who is himself the most fiercely strange filmmaker currently working in Britain. "Kill List" (2011) was a scuzzy little hit-man movie that turned surreal with paranoia; last year's "Sightseers" was a cheerfully bleak comedy about a serial-killing tourist couple. "A Field in England," like the others scripted with Jump, pushes into areas both avant-garde and bizarrely funny. The movie's definitely something, although I'd be hard pressed to say what. Maybe Samuel Beckett's idea of a period film.
Shot in crisp wide-screen monochrome by Laurie Rose — oddly, I was put in mind of the classic Oscar-winning short "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" — "A Field in England" opens on the fringes of an anonymous raging battle, from which the dandyish Whitehead (Reece Shearsmith) is fleeing in terror. Joining up with two grizzled mercenaries, Cutler (Ryan Pope) and Jacob (Peter Ferdinando), and a gentle conscripted peasant known simply as Friend (Richard Glover), he high-tails it over the hedgerows. "We're not running away, we're going for beer," insists Cutler.
In fact, Cutler is bringing them to O'Neil (Michael Smiley), a lordly malefactor encamped in a field he believes has buried treasure in it. Using the prissy, appalled Whitehead — who has skills in divination — as a human truffle hound and the soldiers as muscle, he intends to dig until the treasure, whatever it is, is found.
That's the setup, which is just as quickly set aside for a series of shifting power games among the men. O'Neil is the alpha male and whatever he does to Whitehead inside that tent to get him to comply, the latter's screams are much more horrible than if we'd seen it. "It does not surprise me that the devil is an Irishman," says Jacob, "but I thought he'd be a little taller."
Did I mention the magic mushrooms? Finding them growing nearby, Cutler uses them to break down his captives' defenses, and the filmmaker uses them to break down ours. "A Field in England" has an agreeable 1970s B-movie attitude toward recreational pharmaceuticals and gonzo psychedelic sequences, and toward the end — just as tensions are coming to a head — Wheatley uncorks a lulu, the film threatening to buckle under the assault of audiovisual wackness. Here might be the place to call attention to Martin Pavey, who has done the sound design for all Wheatley's films and who creates frightening aural moonscapes that tilt the movie further off its axis.
At certain points in "A Field in England," the action stops dead as the characters pose in tableaux. Why? Who knows, but like many of this director's visions, it gets under your skin. In the movies of Ben Wheatley, there's a larger, more cosmic nightmare just beyond the sight of both characters and audience, and maybe he's treating us kindly by only giving us glimpses. Says Friend — who like all peasants appears to be both cannon-fodder and unkillable — "I think I have worked out what God is punishing us for. Everything."

Once upon a time, in the world of network television, January was a big deal, a launching pad for important new shows. Some of TV history's most influential programs debuted in this midseason slot. Norman Lear's groundbreaking "All in the Family" sneaked onto the winter schedule in 1971, and the gritty, seminal "Hill Street Blues" arrived in early 1981.
But this year, in an industry still recovering from the production delays and $2.1 billion in losses from last year's 100-day writers' strike and struggling to stem audience erosion, the midterm slate is a lackluster event at best, say media watchers.
"There are no real new programming trends," says Michael Burgi, editor of Mediaweek, in New York. "The shows are all over the place," he says, adding that this hodgepodge reflects the "chaos" of the overall industry itself.
"It's downright depressing," says Jeff McCall, professor of communication at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind. The networks are trying to survive in tough economic times, he says, but they're making the wrong decisions for a creative business. "They're operating out of fear," says Mr. McCall. "They're afraid to try anything out of the mold, so there's no innovation."
From a warmed-over retread of a 10-year-old show ("Cupid," on ABC) to more reality shows (Ashton Kutcher's "Game Show in My Head") and crime serials (Fox's "Lie to Me," about a human lie detector), the schedule abounds with sameness. "The network executives strike me as timid poker players," McCall says. "They want to make big money but they're afraid to put any big money on the table."
While the TV industry scrambles to compete with so many burgeoning entertainment alternatives to the small screen, reality – the real thing, not the programming genre – has become the ultimate trump card. Who needs to tune in the prime-time shenanigans of a "Dirty Sexy Money," when the evening news is replete with the malfeasance of a Bernard Madoff or the collapse of global insurance giant AIG? And then there are the historymaking moments created by the industry itself.
"NBC's recent announcement that it will kill its 10 p.m. dramas and put in Jay Leno may be the darkest moment in network history," says Robert Thompson, director of The Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University in New York. This is the home of many of the industry's proudest achievements in dramatic storytelling – "The West Wing," "E.R." – he says, adding, "they are now signaling effectively they are out of the dramatic-series business."
Against this larger, somber canvas, fans of several network hits such as ABC's "Lost" and Fox's "24" can look forward to the return of shows that have been gone for nearly a year. But here again, reality may intrude. While several major unions – the writers'; directors'; and competing actors' union, AFTRA – have signed new contracts, the major actors' union, the Screen Actors Guild, has asked its 120,000 members to authorize a strike as early as mid-January. And on Feb. 17, the roughly 10 percent of television watchers who tune in using antennae will be forced to give up their rabbit ears when over-the-air broadcasting shifts permanently from analog to digital signals. To watch "free TV," viewers will have to buy a digital converter.
"This is a disproportionately large group of major-network viewers," points out McCall. Here again, he says, the networks face the fact that at least one-third of this group will invest in some form of cable or satellite service. "Once that happens, they will explore and experiment with their new TV-watching tools. This is yet another group that will be watching fewer traditional broadcasts," he adds.
At the same time, there are compelling forces in favor of increased television viewing, says futurist Marian Saltzman of New York's Porter Novelli, an international public relations firm. When people are losing their jobs and homes at historic rates, even people who have work feel the worry. "When the evening news is full of reports that nobody is safe from a Bernie Madoff or the collapse of the world economy, everybody starts looking for ways to save money," says Ms. Saltzman. "Obviously, television is some of the cheapest entertainment around."
A handful of new arrivals have generated anticipatory "buzz," says Emma Loggins, founder and editor of fanbolt.com, an Atlanta-based website for and by fans. She points to such "hot tickets" as Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" (Fox), a thriller about a shadowy, mind-control agency starring Eliza Dushku, and "Nurse Jackie," Showtime's newest series starring Edie Falco.
Once more, though, real-life events in January will overshadow the TV landscape. The inauguration on Jan. 20, says Mr. Burgi, may be the most momentous television programming that month. When actual events are this dramatic, scripted television takes a back seat.

Believe it or not, this Pininfarina Xten office chair is only three degrees of separation away from failed Gizmondo exec Stefan Eriksson. But before we begin that game, let's delve deep into this US$3,000 office chair, shall we? The seat cups your nether region with "Technogel," which the designers claim reduces spreadsheet and coding fatigue by 60% (fatigue? from sitting down?). The gel is coated with Dynatec fabric, an Olympic games staple that wicks away sweat from the bodies of today's athletes. No swamp arse for you! The chair also comes in a range of colours. Feisty. I like that. But what of Eriksson? Here's a hint: Ferrari.
The degrees of separation go thusly:
The xten chair is the spawn of Pininfarina, an Italian design firm. Pininfarina designs many things, like cell phones and alarm clocks, but chief among them is the ultra-rare Ferrari Enzo. Eriksson is probably best known for wrecking his Enzo on a highway, sawing it in half, and walking away relatively OK so he could continue to make shitty portable gaming devices. And scene.
We have no idea whether or not Eriksson has an xten in his office, but if he does, we're certain its days, like Gizmondo's, are numbered.


text: The highway from Cancun airport to Tulum is the 307. It is a wide, 2 lane highway all the way south to Tulum. As you leave the airport you will veer right onto the 307 highway which will then take you all the way to Tulum through Playa del Carmen. The trip takes between one & half to two hours driving. When you enter the town of Tulum you will come to a four-way set of traffic lights with a large supermarket called San Francisco on your right. At these lights turn left and head east towards the beach road (the sign says To Boca Paila). You will reach a Y-intersection with a little police casita on your left. Turn right and head south for approximately 1 km. Tulum Hotel Pez is on your left. Welcome!

Breast Petals and Other Marital Secrets
29 comments:

Too funny! Hubby seems to catch me in the act of "marital secrets." Like when I'm putting Spanx on, he opens the bathroom door.ReplyDelete
I'll need you to write a post on how to avoid this. You seem to have it down pat!
1. Calling them chicken cutlets is hilarious, and dead on the money. Making a note, in case I ever need them in the future!ReplyDelete
2. I admire you for having a smoking hot body, and for doing what it takes to maintain it!
3. My husband went Spanx shopping with me for my dress for the Emmys. So much simpler, and genuinely loving, too! No secrets (that I know of!) after 23 years and two miscarriages, two childbirths, 4 parental deaths, and husbandly heart surgery, and we like it like that.
@Michon: Interesting. I'm envisioning an entire series of inappropriate "How-To"s.ReplyDelete
@Susan: Perhaps after only a year and a half of marriage, we are sure to see many of our secrets fall to the wayside as we approach 23 years! If we should be so lucky.
I've given up wearing bras, but I probably would have tried to cover them up somehow. Ahhhh, who knows, who knows. The women here in NYC sort of have a small group of us who let our nips out for free views, we just don't give a fuck.ReplyDelete
@AdAstra: My husband would like us to move to NYC.ReplyDelete
Admit it. Your husband likes to wear the chicken cutlets too.ReplyDelete
Anyone who can make me bellylaugh in the middle of an endless and fruitless job search probably should have their own column.ReplyDelete
Or cable show. Are you listening, media moguls?
You are only too funny. Thank you for sharing, Ms. Mandy.
@Wow: That is not one of my fetishes so I'm deleting your comment and blocking you.ReplyDelete
@La Piazza: You are obviously a man of good taste and superior mental abilities. You should be hired immediately if the universe has any sense of decency.
Oh to be able to go braless...ReplyDelete
(o)(o)And i thought chicken cutlets were the things you stuck in your bra not was a type of bra. That pic confuses me! They have them with adhesive now? Ouch.
@SweetHerald: They have both and they've had them for a while now. You probably don't pay attention to the intricacies of bra stuffers because you don't need them.ReplyDelete
Hahahaha so I'm at work, I mean, on break of course, and this guy next door brought his 10 year old daughter over so she could play with my dog. So now she's sitting beside me playing with my phone and I totally read this and here are these chicks with their tits hanging out and I'm like, "OMG she's going to think I'm a lesbian child rapist." hahaha. SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL.ReplyDelete
PS I hate pasties. Those fuckers NEVER work on me. I don't have the uh... buoyancy... that's necessary to pull those off plus they just don't make them in my size. I can't imagine even TRYING the chicken cutlets.
Oh jesus. And I re-read that and was like, "OMFG now lesbians are going to think I'm homophobic and think they're child molesters!!"ReplyDelete
Just for the record I do not think that lesbians are child molesters.
I'm so going to get hate mail anyway, I know it.
Are you serving chicken cutlets at your BBQ? Not sure how I feel about them now.ReplyDelete
@Cake Betch: The silicon numbers are definitely high risk. As is reading my blog with children, apparently.ReplyDelete
@Cary: I think of the fake boob chicken cutlets every time I see real chicken cutlets.
We are so the opposite! There are no marital secrets in our neck of the woods. Not saying that's a good thing by the way... :)) I tried chicken cutlets and they did not work for me. I can't even use a strapless bra, they end up as belts, the girls need straps to heft them up and they aren't even that big. *sigh*ReplyDelete
Mandy, super hot hot dress!ReplyDelete
Hilarious post too. I love that you have marital secrets. Everyone should. It is also known as just privacy.
I have the cutlets and hate them. Nips are sexy, so if you got it rock it!

*closes bathroom door*ReplyDelete
Wait wait- wasn't this the then-boyfriend/now-husband you described your... um...ReplyDelete
Nevermind. MySpace days should stay in the past.
I applaud your smokin' hot bod and laughed heartily at your shame.
A. I love that he "opened and closed his hands" when looking at your boobs. Men...ReplyDelete
B. I think you should've gone to the bathroom immediately and given him nips in the restaurant.
Cute dress, by the way.
See I TOTALLY would have gone with the nipples. OF course I have found my self strangely attracted to camel toe on occasion as well. ;-)ReplyDelete
I'm a complete virgin, but I figured I still had some cred on this issue. My Spanx is a long tube top. Fits from over the boobs to mini-skirt length. It's the perfect undergarment for a beige dress. If you can't have that, I choose chicken petals.ReplyDelete
Mandy, I wasn't sure how to contact you and the rest of the old MySpace crew. So, I apologize for just leaving this comment, which you can delete after reading. I wanted to let you know that Char (from Ramblins') passed away last week. I just found out tonight. Apparently, it was unexpected, but I don't know what happened. She was such a neat lady and I wanted her internet friends to know that she passed. I know they would be concerned when they hadn't heard from her in a while.ReplyDelete
Again, really sorry for leaving this in a comment, but I couldn't find your email.
Full disclosure here, I do indeed have one X and one Y chromosome. Hopefully that doesn't invalidate my opinion, which is:ReplyDelete
I think that perfect hemispheres completely devoid of any natural anatomical hint of the underlying morphology belying the purpose of said mammilla, appears contrived and unnatural.
Nice breasts under a lovely gown on a beautiful woman, I expect to see a hint of nipple. Otherwise guys will just stare at them and wonder "where are they??"
I would love to be able to wear that dress!ReplyDelete
@Eva: I will leave your comment in case any of our mutual friends from the Myspace blogging days see it. I am so sad to hear about Char it's hard to respond without tears. She was a gentle soul, a good friend and she will be missed more than she knows.ReplyDelete
A useful little item I have is a set of "cookies" from inside a swimsuit I threw away years ago. They have some kind of clingy foam that sticks nicely to the old mammies.ReplyDelete
Also - what is wrong with getting picked up at the trailer park? ;)
this is so funny....i have actually worn the breast petals for years and would be lost without them....ReplyDelete
Why couldn't you have posted this a month ago? I attended a wedding in a dress that no bra in the entire Victoria's Secret collection would have worked with. Instead of enduring a night of "looks like the turkey's done" type comments, I brilliantly decided to tape my poor nips down with scotch tape. Yeah...not recommended.ReplyDelete

Bergen, Norway is the gateway to the fjords and probably the most beautiful city in Norway. It rains some 250 days a year and is very expensive. The people are nice, the food is good and there's a lot to see and do. There's nothing stressful or outlandish about Bergen itself at all. So after three visits, I was thinking 'why do I like Bergen so much?' The answer is Bergen, Norway is simply a nice place.
I first came to Bergen 10 years ago, and I liked it even though it rained the entire time. I returned in 2012 and the weather was pretty nice and I remember thinking I liked Bergen and the whole Norway in a Nutshell tour again. Now, after just visiting for the 3rd time and it raining or at least being cloudy the majority of the day I can plainly say I like it again.
I arrived in Bergen onboard the Azamara Quest, after four unique days in Edinburgh. I wasn't too keen on doing too much in Bergen in the rain as I had pretty much seen and done it all in the past, but I signed up to hike to the top of Mount Floyen. I wanted the exercise and the photo opportunity.
In order to climb, Mount Floyen, you take the funicular up to the staging area that gives great views of Bergen below. From the staging area, which features a restaurant, souvenir shops and an awesome troll statue, it's about 2.5 miles up to the peak and about 800 feet in elevation change. It's not a difficult hike at all, but it's pretty scenic and well worth it.
There are several little ponds along the way and then the views from the top are fabulous of Bergen and the surrounding islands and hills below. It rained for much of the hike, but the clouds did start to lift as we approached the summit. That made for cool photos with ominous cloud formations.
Back in town, I met up with some friends from the ship for lunch. First, the fish market on the harbor in Bergen is top notch and well worth a visit and a meal. The crab, shrimp, lobster and pretty much any form of seafood you can imagine is divine and the displays are mouthwatering.
We ended up settling on a restaurant I cannot remember the name of, spell, or pronounce as Norwegian is a very difficult language but I did get a whale steak and it was fantastic! We also ended up buying some massive crab legs to eat on the ship during this cruise! I can't wait!
When you visit Bergen, you'll love the simplicity of the destination. Walk around, talk to people, have a coffee or a drink and take it in because Bergen, Norway is just a nice place.

If workstation is an issue for you, needing SLI and PCI-X than you don't have much choice. When PCI-X is no use for you, choosing an other board is wise. While the difference between x8 and x16 is only a couple of frames, such boards are much cheaper. The issues with the VRM also is a reason not to purchase this board. We got in contact to ASUS and asked if this is just an BIOS-issue or a bad design, because we have seen such behaviour also on the newly P5K board. When ASUS provides an answer, we will update this article and let you know. Compared to the MSI P6N-SLI Platinum the price is too high.

Shark Party
When you shop for Shark Party Party Supplies, you'll be able to get all sorts of cool items for whatever kind of event you have in mind! You can get tableware like dinner plates, napkins, and more, party favors like necklaces, personalized stickers, magnets, or lollipops, or decorations like big inflatable sharks, banners, and more!
Open wide: we're having a shark party!
Benchley, the famous author who penned the thriller Jaws once said, "I
believe implicitly that every young man in the world is fascinated with either
sharks or dinosaurs." We tend to agree with him. Sharks are among the most
interesting (and frightening) creatures on earth. So much so that Shark Week is
pretty much a national holiday by now. And what better way to celebrate your
son or daughter's birthday than with a party all about these amazing creatures
and pop-culture legends? Get out the scuba gear and hop in because we're going
on an underwater shark adventure!
Quick pre-planning tip:
Planning a party is a lot of work. The best piece of advice we can give you is this: make a list. Without one, details will inevitably fall through the cracks and you will get unnecessarily stressed. And no one wants that.
know where to start? Looking for some inspiration or really cool ideas? Check
out our Ideas Blog! From impressive Star Wars cakes to Birthday on a Budget,
the Ideas Blog is the ultimate resource for ideas, inspiration and helpful
hints for a great party.
Shark party ahead! This is the proper way to invite friends and family to your
party, the Shark Invitations, which BirthdayExpress designed especially for
your party. Alert your guests of the party details and give them a fun taste of
the theme to come.
Sebastian (everyone's favorite crooning crustacean) posited, there is no place
on Earth quite as magical as under the sea. Amazing creatures, vibrant colors
and enchanting sounds paint fantastic portraits of life beneath the ocean
waves. For your shark party, you're going to need some pretty awesome
decorations to transport your guests to an underwater adventure, and we've got
just the things! From aquatically colored streamers and napkins to sweet mini
sharks and fun photo props, we've got you covered down to the depths.
Shark Balloon Bouquet
balloon display comes with six true blue matte balloons, two red metallic star
foil balloons, two shark foil balloons, and even matching ribbon and weights.
They provide the perfect way to get the party started.
Birthday Banner
features a vibrant ocean landscape, a friendly shark and allows for a
personalized message to the birthday boy or girl.
you think the decorations stop after the stuff you hang up, you might want to
reconsider. Before you serve a smorgasbord fit for a Great White, surely you
must begin with the table decorations. The tableware is a great place to allow
your shark theme to shine. Although you think your little guests might gobble
down the delicious food before taking a glance, it really does make a
difference. Even simple things like shark dessert plates can tie everything
together and make a party unforgettable.
you happen to live near an ocean teeming with sharks or an aquarium with
schools of hammerheads at the ready, that might be a great way to have fun with
sharks. But sharks can be…well…dangerous from time to time. So instead, we've
put together a few activities you can enjoy right in the comfort of your own
home! Whether you want to play dress up, make a fun shark photo booth or just
whack a piñata and do some shark puzzles, we've got it all right here.
Activity Placemats
Take a deep-sea dive from the comfort of your chair with the Sharks Activity Placemats! These fin-tastic sheets feature a cool maze and connect-the-dots drawing activity to keep your guests having all sorts of fun before and after food is served.
Shark Photo Prop
want the party to stop? We don't blame you. The Shark Photo Prop is the best way to bring
the fun home. This underwater scene lets kids play explorer and swim with the
sharks while you snap some adorable photos to cherish forever.
you're like most party-throwers, your goal is to host a great event where
everyone has fun. If the stars align, your guests will remember the good times
for months to come. Although we can't guarantee people will be raving about
your child's birthday party for the next decade, we can say for sure that party
favors definitely help. A little memento goes a long way, and it's a fun way to
thank your guests for coming and taking part.
Favor Box
The favor box is fun and so
practical. They are the perfect size to hold candy, cupcakes, goodies, and much more.
Inflatable Shark
is an awesome party favor. The inflatable shark is
perfect. It's compact in size for easy carrying for your guests, but it
balloons out to a whopping 46" inches of underwater inflatable fun. It comes in
three colors and could even make a great decoration!

The NBA and its refs agreed late Friday evening on a two-year contract, ending a month-long lockout that helped the league avoid substituting replacements for its officiating staff once the season starts.
The Friday night vote cemented a deal struck earlier this week week between the refs and league.
"We are pleased to reach this agreement," NBA commissioner David Stern said. "The negotiations extended further than either side had hoped, but when our regular season tips off on Tuesday we'll have the best referees in the world officiating our games."
U.S. & World
The refs will return to a three-day training camp Saturday to prepare for the regular season, which will tip off Tuesday.
The referees' union had no comment.

Steps to Forming an LLC
Last Updated on
How to Form an LLC in Delaware
Forming an LLC in Delaware will help protect your personal assets from lawsuits and judgments against your business. An LLC is a legal structure that separates your business and personal assets. By not having your business in a separate legal structure, you can be held personally liable for certain debts and lawsuits incurred by the company. Forming a Delaware Limited Liability Company does not require an attorney and you can save a lot of money if you do it yourself with the six simple steps below.
Before getting into the six steps, there are a few things to know about Delaware LLCs.
Any business doing business in Delaware are required to obtain a business license from the Delaware Division of Revenue and this license is required before starting to transact business.
The easiest way to get the business license is through the Delaware One Stop Business.
How Much Does It Cost to Get an LLC In Delaware?
The state filing fee for a Delaware Limited Liability Company is $90, payable to the Delaware Secretary of State's Division or Corporations. Typical time of approval is 1-3 weeks but if you need it faster, you can pay $50 for expedited, same day processing
Delaware Annual Report and Annual Fees
Delaware requires all LLCs to file an annual report. Delaware LLCs are subject to a $300 Delaware Annual Franchise Tax annually.
Member/Manager Information
- Minimum Number – one or more
- Members/Managers- at least one is required to be listed in the Articles of Organization
- Residence Requirements – none specified
- Age Requirements – none specified
Business Permits
In addition to forming your Delaware LLC, you will need to check for Delaware business licenses and permits.
Steps to Forming a Delaware LLC
Step 1. Naming Requirements
Delaware LLC Name Search
Before settling on a business name, you want to be sure nobody else is using it as each LLC must have a unique name. Here's how to search available LLC names in Delaware. You can also visit our page to do a free Delaware LLC name search.
If you find the name you want, but aren't ready to form your LLC, the Division of Corporations allows a name reservation. This holds the name at a cost of $7.
Name Guidelines
Your company name must end with the words Limited Liability Company or an abbreviation of these words ("LLC," "L.L.C.," "Limited," "LTD.," "LTD".). Check out our article on naming your LLC for all of the requirements that you must follow when naming an LLC.
Also, there are some words that aren't allowed to be used in the state, like those that could refer to a state agency or that require licensing from the state.
Step 2. Choosing a Registered Agent
What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent is the central point of contact for the LLC, that can be either an individual or business entity, that receives important legal documents, tax notices or communications with the state.
Registered Agent Requirements
The registered agent must have a physical presence in the state of Delaware must have a physical street address and be available during normal business hours to accept delivery of documents. A Post Office Box or personal mailbox is not acceptable. If the registered office includes a suite number, it must be included in the registered office address.
Who can be a Registered Agent in Delaware?
A Delaware registered agent can either be a resident of the state or a corporation authorized to do business in the state.
Provided you as the business owner have a physical presence in Delaware, you can be the registered agent, however, there are some privacy benefits to having a third-party registered agent.
Check out our article on LLC Statutory Agents for more details.
Step 3. Filing the Certificate of Formation
The Certificate of Formation (known as the Articles of Organization in most states) is the paperwork used to form an LLC with the state. This is the most important step and many people believe that you need an attorney to file.
While we don't discourage having an attorney, filing a Delaware LLC can be done by most people, but you can save considerable money over an attorney and make sure to file a Certificate of Formation correctly by using a formation service such as LegalZoom.
See more about the Delaware Certificate of Formation.
The Certificate of Formation is sent to:
Delaware Division of Corporations
401 Federal Street – Suite 4
Dover, DE 19901
Step 4. Creating an Operating Agreement
An LLC operating agreement is not required in Delaware but is typically a good idea, especially for an LLC owned by multiple people. The primary function of the operating agreement is to govern the relationship between the owners of the business, but also outlines who makes what decisions, how profits or losses are distributed and the operating procedures of the LLC.
More information about the operating agreement is here.
Step 5. Getting an EIN
What is an EIN?
The Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Federal Tax Identification Number (FEIN), is used to identify a business entity. It is essentially a social security number for the company.
In addition to the EIN being an identifying number for the LLC it serves a few other purposes such as:
- Opening a business bank account
- Federal and State tax purposes
- The business account to pay payroll taxes for employees paid by the company
How to Register an EIN for a Delaware LLC
To file an EIN for your LLC, visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or obtain the SS-4 form. They show the steps on how to apply, but here is a video on how to apply for an EIN for more details. In about five minutes, you will have your number free of charge. Be sure to wait until your LLC is approved before applying for your EIN as the name that is registered for the LLC must be the same as the EIN.
Step 6. Selecting the Tax Status of the LLC
One of the key benefits an LLC versus the other business entities is the flexibility in the tax structure as there are four ways an LLC can be taxed, compared with two ways for a corporation.
- Single Member LLC – An LLC with one member automatically becomes a single-member LLC with the IRS. The owner simply files their Schedule C with their 1040 at the end of the year. Filing as a single-member LLC means the entity does not pay sales tax and goes to the owner which is called pass-through taxation. The owner pays self-employment taxes on the net profit of the LLC, which while simpler to handle taxes, may be more costly.
- Partnership LLC – An LLC with two or more members is automatically considered a Partnership with the IRS and will file Form 1065. Like the sole-proprietorship as a pass-through entity, the LLC taxed as a Partnership pays no income tax and profit and losses flow to each member's Form 1040s via Schedule K-1 of Form 1065.
- C Corporation LLC – An LLC can elect to be taxed as a C Corporation by filing IRS Form 8832. The major difference as an LLC that is taxed as a C corporation is that now the LLC pays tax on the profits and losses and are not directly passed down to the members. Most, but not all will find filing as a C Corporation will cost more in taxes as now the LLC has double taxation where there is a tax on the profits and dividends.
- S Corporation LLC – To get S Corporation status, you will file Form 2553 with the IRS. What makes the S Corp attractive unlike the sole proprietorship or partnership is that you can potentially shield some of the profits from being subject to self-employment taxes. Dividends aren't subject to this tax which is a large potential savings. There will be more work in accounting an LLC that elected S Corp status.
Each of the four ways for an LLC to be taxed in Delaware can have a major impact on the taxes that are charged depending on the business and the member's personal finances. It's a very good idea to work with an accounting professional to see which one is most efficient for the business and members.
Don't want to go it alone but don't want the expense of an attorney? Another alternative is to use an LLC formation service that will do the formation at a low cost. Take a look at our comparison page of popular LLC formation services.
ZenBusiness has a special offer right now to form an LLC for only the cost of the state fees and a free registered agent for the first three months. Living in a state outside of Delaware but wanting to start an LLC in Delaware because you heard it's better to do so? You will likely need to file as a foreign LLC in your home state in addition to your Delaware LLC. In addition to paying two filing fees there will be multiple tax filings as well. Be sure to do your research and weigh all the pros and cons before making this decision.

Winfrey Lends Her Brand and Her Empire in Support of Obama's Presidential Bid--The Oprah-Obama '08 bumper sticker was meant to be only a lark, hawked on the Internet for $3.99 under the catchphrase "Just when you thought there was no hope for the Democratic Party . . ."
Turns out the sentiment, at least, may not be entirely fanciful.Oprah Winfrey, the nation's wealthiest African American and host of an afternoon television program, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in May. Now, she is in discussions with his advisers about playing a broader role in the campaign -- possibly as a surrogate on the stump or an outspoken advocate -- or simply bringing her branding magic to benefit his White House bid.
On Saturday, Winfrey will host her first-ever presidential fundraising affair on the grounds of the Promised Land, her 42-acre ocean- and mountain-view estate in Montecito, Calif. -- an event that is expected to raise more than $3 million for Obama's campaign.
Although no guests will be permitted to enter Winfrey's house, a few dozen VIPs will have special access to Winfrey.
The fundraiser may be only the start. The Winfrey and Obama machines have maintained silence on the exact nature of their talks over what her role will be, but the idea of her appearing in television ads and other appeals is very much in play. She offered during a recent interview with CNN's Larry King: "My money isn't going to make any difference. My value to him -- my support of him -- is probably worth more than any other check that I could write."
Winfrey met Obama and his wife, Michelle, on the Chicago social circuit before his 2004 Senate bid, and they have remained friendly since. It was two years ago, when the Obamas attended the white-tie Legends Ball at Winfrey's Montecito home, that Winfrey first broached the idea of doing something she had never done before -- hosting a political event.
"I was saying wouldn't this be a great place for a fundraising," Winfrey recalled in an interview rebroadcast on her Web site. "I said it jokingly."
Since then, Winfrey has had the Obamas as guests on her television show, featured them in her magazine and gushed about the senator's potential to change American politics in repeated public appearances.
"For me, this was the moment to step up," she said in a recent radio chat with friend Gayle King.
Historically, there's little evidence that celebrity endorsements have done much to draw voters to political candidates. In fact, there is some consensus among political strategists that while mega-stars might generate an occasional burst of media attention, they are often not worth the downside that a close association with Hollywood can create.
But several political analysts pondered the impact of a full-court press by Winfrey and said they believe her involvement could be different.
"When you think about Oprah's success in selling books, you can't laugh off the fact that she can sway many, many people," said Donna Brazile, who managed Al Gore's 2000 campaign. "She has a very large following -- and we're talking about people who hang on her every word."
Among the weapons in Winfrey's arsenal: the television program that reaches 8.4 million viewers each weekday afternoon, according to the most recent Nielsen numbers. Her Web site reaches 2.3 unique viewers each month, "O, the Oprah Magazine," has a circulation of 2 million, she circulates a weekly newsletter to 420,000 fans and 360,000 people have subscribed to her Web site for daily "Oprah Alerts" by e-mail.
More than that, though, the Nielsen tracking data show that her most loyal viewers are women between 25 and 55 -- a group that also votes in large numbers in Democratic primaries. National Election Pool exit polling from 2004 showed that women older than 45 represented a third of the electorate in the Democratic primary contests in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina.
How powerful can an association with Winfrey be? On Sept. 19, 2000, George W. Bush trailed Gore in the Gallup-CNN-USA Today poll by 10 percentage points, and struggled particularly with women voters. Then he sat down on Winfrey's couch. They talked about his decision to quit drinking, his love for his wife and daughters, his religious faith and the legacy of being a president's son.
The following week, the same poll showed Bush with a two-point advantage -- a statistical tie. News reports called it the "Oprah bounce."
Winfrey said in an audio Web chat last week that, this year, the Obamas will be her only political guests.
"It would be really disingenuous of me to be sitting up there interviewing other people . . . pretending to be objective," she said.
Winfrey's show is not subject to any "equal time" obligations, because Federal Communications Commission rules do not apply to news programs, interview shows and documentaries in which the candidate is not the sole focus.
Obama's chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), will not be completely deprived of a daytime audience packed with potential women voters. She landed a slot on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" yesterday and will likely be back.
On Tuesday, former president Bill Clinton made an appearance on Oprah. But the talk show host made clear that Clinton had solicited the appearance himself, and they did not dwell long on politics, instead talking about his new book "Giving" and his global good works.
He said his wife had pointed out that she is 15 years older now during her campaign than he was when he ran. "I said, 'Well, nobody made you run, girl,' " Clinton said.
Oprah asked him what his title would be if his wife were to win.
"I don't know -- my Scottish friends say I should be called 'First Laddie,' " Clinton said. "It's the closest thing to 'First Lady.' " He added: "I'm not so worried about what I'm called as what I'm called upon to do."
The possibilities of Winfrey's fledgling partnership with Obama are immense but uncertain, said Mark Anthony Neal, a professor of African American studies at Duke University. They really raise a single, pivotal question: Can Winfrey do for a political candidate what she did for books?
What Winfrey did for books is the stuff of marketing legend.
Between 1996 to 2002, titles recommended by "Oprah's Book Club" typically resulted in sales of more than a million copies, a staggering number considering that a typical novel might be judged a success with 20,000 sales. Winfrey disbanded the club in 2002, though she later reinstated it, drawing her loyalists to classic titles.
Susan Harrow, author of a book that advises commercial and charitable groups on how to land appearances on Winfrey's show, said she is convinced a Winfrey pitch will work on voters.
The reason, she said, is that her viewers are more than just a television audience. "They are followers."
"People trust her opinion, I think, even more than they trust their own," Harrow said.
Neal isn't as certain.
"She can deliver a constituency to the marketplace, no question," Neal said. "People feel very differently about spending their money than they do about casting a vote."
But the sway over people's money, at least, will be evident as cars snake up Pacific Coast Highway into Montecito, and vans shuttled the well-heeled donors from parking facilities to Winfrey's compound Saturday.
If it wasn't clear to her loyalists how big a step it was for her to offer up this mansion for a fundraiser, she hammered that point in her chat with King.
"To offer it, you're right," Winfrey said, "it's no small thing for me. . . . I'm really not a political person. I believe that he offers a fresh opportunity of hope for America. So that's why I'm in it. I probably won't ever be in it again."
I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

A fish-eye image shows a laser firing from the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii. The laser causes atoms in the upper atmosphere to glow. Small mirrors inside the telescope adjust their shape many times per second to bring that glow into sharp focus. The adjustments also bring astronomical objects near the laser beam into sharp focus, vastly improving the telescope's images. Astronomers use the laser, which was invented 50 years ago, for many tasks, including measuring the distance from Earth to the Moon and looking for gravitational waves. [Gemini Observatory]
You are here
Imagine life without supermarket checkout scanners, high-speed Internet, DVDs, Lasik surgery, or a hundred other gizmos. It's what life was like half a century ago -- before a physicist named Theodore Maiman invented the laser. He demonstrated the first successful laser 50 years ago this month.
A laser pumps energy into some sort of material -- in Maiman's case, a ruby crystal. The energy "excites" the atoms in the material, causing them to produce a single wavelength of light. And unlike the beam of a flashlight, in which the light spreads out in all directions, the waves in a laser beam are all moving in the same direction, like soldiers on parade.
A laser's narrow, focused beam can carry a great deal of energy or information, making lasers highly versatile tools. They cut metal, carry telephone calls and emails, and burn CDs. Doctors use them as surgical tools, and public speakers use them as pointers.
Scientists use lasers to explore the universe. They use them to measure the distance from Earth to the Moon, to sharpen the views from their telescopes, to look for evidence of gravitational waves, and much more. And like everyone else, they use them to store and transmit information -- information often obtained with the help of this shining invention.
More about lasers in astronomy tomorrow.

Why you should add Iceland to your Indie/RTW tripContrary to its name, Iceland is not a country of frozen tundra that could be cut up and used to keep your soft drink cold. After all, only eleven percent of the island is glaciated. Hardly enough land to warrant its name.
- The main attraction is the geography. It is home to more fjords, volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, and other amazing things than your eyes will be able to process.
- The word is out that Iceland is a great place to travel and as a result it is seeing an increasing number of tourists each year.
- It's an awesome place to challenge yourself with one of their amazing hikes.
- Iceland Air makes it possible to visit Iceland for free on a stopover (learn more about stopovers in this article), offsetting some of the high costs of travel within the country.
- Despite the vastness of parts of the country, it's still possible to get around by public transport.
- Two words: Northern Lights
Indie travel tips for Iceland
- The famous Blue Lagoon near the main airport is probably the most famous single attraction in the country. Touristy? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely!
- The capital of Reykjavik is an enjoyable city with great nightlife, although it can be expensive too.
- If you have the funds, rent a car and drive the Ring Road.
- Go horseback riding on an Icleandic horse, which are smaller, stockier, and friendlier than horses you've probably ridden in the past.
- Go scuba diving and see a rift in the Earth, caused by two tectonic plates that are slowly moving apart.
- Explore moss-covered lava fields on your way to a spelunking adventure in on of the 2000+ caves in the country.
- If here April-October, go whale watching.

Book Summary
When Miles Garth locks himself in an upstairs room during a dinner party and communicates only through notes slipped under the door, his involuntary hosts beg help from childhood friend Anna, who is unwittingly thrust into the family's surreal world. By the Whitbread Award-winning author of The Accidental.
NPR stories about There But For The
Note: Book excerpts are provided by the publisher and may contain language some find offensive.
Excerpt: There But For The
was once a man who, one night between the main course and the sweet at a dinner party, went upstairs and locked himself in one of the bedrooms of the house
of the people who were giving the dinner party.
There was once a woman who had met this man thirty years before, had known him slightly for roughly two weeks in the middle of a summer when they were
both seventeen, and hadn't seen him since, though they'd occasionally, for a few years after, exchanged Christmas cards, that kind of thing.
Right now the woman, whose name was Anna, was standing outside the locked bedroom door behind which the man, whose name was Miles, theoretically was. She had her arm raised and her hand ready to – to what? Tap? Knock discreetly? This beautiful, perfectly done-out, perfectly dulled house would not stand for
noise; every creak was an affront to it, and the woman who owned it, emanating disapproval, was just two feet behind her. But it was her fist she was standing there holding up, like a 1980s cliché of a revolutionary, ready to, well, nothing quiet. Batter. Beat. Pound. Rain blows.
Strange phrase, to rain blows. Somewhere over the rainblow. She didn't remember much about him, but they'd never have been friends in the first place if he wasn't the sort to enjoy a bad pun. Was he, unlike Anna right now, the kind of person who'd know what to say to a shut door if he were standing outside one trying to get someone on the other side to open it? The kind who could turn to that child stretched on her front as far up the staircase as her whole small self would go, the toes of her bare feet on the wood of the downstairs hall floor and her chin in her hands on the fifth step lying there watching, and straight off be making the right kind of joke, what do you call two mushrooms on holiday? Fun guys, straight off be holding forth about things like where a phrase like to rain blows came from in the first place?
The woman standing behind Anna sighed. She somehow made a sigh sound cavernous. After it the silence was even louder. Anna cleared her throat.
Miles, she said to the wood of the door. Are you there?
But the bleat of her voice left her somehow less there herself. Ah, now, see – that's what it took, the good inappropriateness of that child. Half boy, all girl, she'd elbowed herself up off the staircase, run up the stairs and was about to hammer on the door.
Bang bang bang.
Anna felt each thud go through her as if the child were hammering her on the chest.
Come out come out wherever you are, the child yelled.
Nothing happened.
Open sesame, the child yelled.
She had ducked under Anna's arm to knock. She looked up at her from under her arm.
It makes the rock in the side of the mountain open, the child said. They say it in the story, therefore the rock just like opens.
The child put her mouth to the door and spoke again, this time without shouting.
Knock knock, she said. Who's there?
Who's there?
There were several reasons at that particular time in Anna Hardie's life for her wondering what it meant, herself, to be there.
One was her job, which she had just given up, in what she and her colleagues laughingly called Senior Liaison, at what she and her colleagues only half-laughingly called the Centre for Temporary Permanence (or, interchangeably, the Centre for Permanent Temporariness).
Another was that Anna had woken up a couple of weeks ago in the middle of her forties in the middle of the night, from a dream in which she saw her own heart behind its ribcage. It was having great trouble beating because it was heavily crusted over with a caul made of what looked like the stuff we clean out of the corners of our eyes in the mornings when we wake up. She woke up, sat up and put her hand on her heart. Then she got up, went to the bathroom mirror and looked. There she was.
The phrase reminded her of something Denny at the Evening News, with whom she'd worked on neighbourhood liaison pieces and with whom she'd had a short liaison herself, had told her some time ago, on their second and last lunchtime. He was a sweet man, Denny. He'd stood in front of her in her kitchen, their first time, and presented his penis to her very sweetly, rueful and hopeful both, a little apologetic about his erection and at the same time proud of it; she liked this. She liked him. But two lunchtimes was all it was, and they both knew it. Denny had a wife, her name was Sheila, and their two girls and their boy were at Clemont High. Anna made a pot of tea, put sugar and milk on the tray because she wasn't sure what he took, carried it upstairs, slid back into the bed. It was a quarter past one. They had just under half an hour left. He'd asked could he smoke. She'd said, okay, since it's the last lunch. He'd smiled. Then he'd turned over in the bed, lit the cigarette, changed the subject. He'd said did she know he could sum up the last six decades of journalism in six words?
Go on then, she said.
I was there. There I was, he said.
It was a commonplace, he said. By the middle of the twentieth century every important report put it like this: I was there. Nowadays: There I was.
Soon it would be seven words, Anna said. The new century had already added a seventh word. There I was, guys. She and Denny had laughed, drunk their tea, put their clothes back on and gone back to their different jobs. The last time they'd spoken was some months ago, about how to handle the story with the local kids giving urine to the asylum kids in lemonade bottles to drink.
In the middle of the night, some months later, holding her own heart, feeling nothing, Anna had looked at herself in the mirror in the bathroom. There she was. It was the there-she-was guise.
There she was again, then, two evenings ago, sitting in front of her laptop one summer evening with the noise of Wimbledon coming from neighbours' TVs through the open windows of the houses all around. Wimbledon was on her own TV too. Her own TV's sound was turned down. It was sunny in London and the Wimbledon grass was still bright green, only a little scuffed. The TV screen flickered away by itself beyond the laptop screen. Pock noises and oohs and ahs, strangely disconnected from their source, accompanied the little noises she was making on her keyboard. It was as if the whole outside world was TV soundtrack. Maybe there was a new psychosis, Tennis Players' Psychosis (TPP), where you went through life believing that an audience was always watching you, profoundly moved by your every move, reacting round your every reaction, your every momentous moment, with joy /excitement / disappointment / Schadenfreude. Presumably all professional tennis players had something like it, and maybe so to some extent did everybody who still believed in God. But would this mean that people who didn't have it were somehow less there in the world, or at least differently there, because they felt themselves less observed? We might as well pray to the god of tennis players, she thought. We might as well ask that god as ask any other for world peace, to keep us safe, to bring all the birds that've ever died, ever sunk into dust via little mounds of feather and crumbling hollow little bones, back to life, perch them all on that sill right now, the small ones at the front and the large ones at the back, and have them sing a rousing chorus of Bye Bye Blackbird, which was a song her father used to whistle when she was a little girl, and one she hadn't heard for many years. No one here to love or understand me. Oh what hard-luck stories they all hand me. Was that it? Something about hard-luck stories, anyway. Just as she was about to look the lyrics up on the net new mail came pinging into her inbox with an electronic little trill.
The new mail was quite a long email which Anna nearly mistook for the please-transfer-money-to-this-account-because–I-am-dying-and-need-your-help kind. But she paused her finger above delete when something about it caught her eye. It was addressed to her with the correct first name but the wrong surname initial. Dear Anna K. It was both her and not her, the name. More: something about it made her feel super-eighted, instamaticked. It gave her a feeling something like the word summer used to. Most of all it reminded her of an old spinebent copy of a Penguin classic paperback by Kafka, yes, Franz Kafka, which she had read one summer when she was sixteen or seventeen.

Amanda and Tracey are having an argument in the kitchen over Tracey's boyfriend while Michael sits by the pool with a drink and smoke at hand, putting on earbuds to drown out his wife and daughter. Shortly thereafter, Franklin arrives, trying take up Michael's offer for a beer from their first meeting. Michael said he was only joking about that, and the two have a short conversation. Eventually, Michael does decide to take Franklin out for a beer when Jimmy calls, stating that he is in Michael's yacht, and the boat is being stolen after Jimmy attempts to sell it. Angry, Michael and Franklin drive off in Amanda's car to chase down the yacht on the freeway.
After catching up to the boat, Franklin climbs aboard the boat to dispatch the thieves; however, Jimmy is hanging on the sail, above the roadway. Michael drives under the sail to catch Jimmy in the backseat and then retrieves Franklin. Michael and Franklin proceed to chase down the boat and the thieves; however, Amanda's car breaks down, forcing them to go to the Los Santos Customs shop near the airport. Michael asks Franklin to call him a taxi since he is angry at Jimmy for losing his boat and wants to vent in peace. Franklin and Jimmy then repair Amanda's car and return it to the De Santa estate.

Daily Globe - Terror on the highway.
Forrest Simon - Daily Globe
Motorists on the Del Perro Freeway were thrown into a panic when a high-speed gun battle broke out between two vehicles, one of which was carrying a yacht. What sparked the clash and the identity of the two groups of men involved is not yet known, but this leads us to our reader poll of the day: "Is a drive-by shootout over a luxury yacht a sign that Los Santos is in economic crisisi, or out of economic crisis?"

Piracy in the Straits of Malacca has been a serious problem for many years now and shipping companies have grown tired of waiting for governments in the region to do something effective to stamp it out.
So they are hiring private companies to do it instead. Sounds like an exciting line of work.

One of the biggest post-Hurricane Sandy challenges has been getting resources directly to local residents, businesses and community infrastructure and resiliency projects. Over 1,000 small-business, civic and governmental leaders gathered at the annual Smart Growth Summit to strengthen our communities and rebuild the region's infrastructure.
Post-Sandy, New York state created the Community Reconstruction Program, which is involving thousands of South Shore residents and business owners in planning efforts to strengthen their communities through infrastructure investments. This process is fueled by federal Sandy aid that will help implement a slew of community-driven infrastructure projects to help weather the next storm.
Jamie Rubin, director of the New York Office of Storm Recovery, said that the state has learned from past storms, and must continue learning. Through NY Rising, Rubin said, more vulnerable waterfront homes could be purchased. New York's Community Reconstruction Program selected locations, including 31 in Nassau and eight in Suffolk, before creating an eight-month planning process — now 12 weeks old — to improve each community. Professional consulting firms were selected to work with each area along the way. Rubin also said that comprehensive storm water drainage will protect the power supply and vulnerable populations on the South Shore.
To be sure, the $455 million federal investment in the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant may be the biggest allocation of outside funds and the largest infrastructure project in Long Island's history, and is a big win for Nassau County and the impacted communities. We recognize that it's a bit strange to talk about long-term needs while communities are dealing with short-term homelessness and other extreme conditions. But it is still better that residents plan their future at the many public meetings than a bureaucrat or out-of-town engineer who doesn't know their community.

In response to: Charities report major losses
U-T San Diego has posted an article about local non-profit organizations that reported losses. St. Madeleine Sophie's Center was unfortunately mentioned as an organization that lost money "due to investments."
The investment referenced here is a $3 million donation that was left to St. Madeleine Sophie's Center by a private donor and managed by the Legacy Endowment Fund of North County. Due to the terms of the trust and Internal Revenue requirements, St. Madeleine Sophie's Center reported the unrealized loss of investment in 2008.
2008 was a year in which the stock market, overall, faced severe declines. These issues unfortunately impacted many investment funds for non- and for-profit companies.
St. Madeleine Sophie's Center has had no losses due to theft.
Since 2008, the fund has recovered most of the decline in investment value. St. Madeleine Sophie's Center receives about $100,000 annually from this fund to support the operation of our programs.
We are confident in the investments we control and grateful for the support of our donors.
Debra Emerson
Chief Executive Officer
