Greek Shipping News Cuts
Week 49 - 2010
Akti Miaouli / People and Places
* Angeliki Frangou has broken into an all-male domain, by being chosen as the first female commodore of the Connecticut Maritime Association, (CMA). The commodore award is given annually to a maritime personality who has contributed to the growth and development of the industry, the CMA says.
The chairman and ceo of the Navios Group of companies, will take over March 23, 2011 at the gala dinner marking the conclusion of the annual CMA conference and trade exposition. She takes the title over from Louis Dreyfus, to become the 23rd CMA commodore, joining other Greek shipping personalities: George Livanos, Gregory Hadjieleftheriadis, Stelios Haji-Ioannou and Peter Georgiopoulos who have held the annual title.
* The Greek Section of the International Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers (SNAME) was well represented at the annual meeting of the society in Seattle, USA, with section members and seven students from the student chapter of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) participating. Certificates of appreciation were awarded to two members of the Greek section, founding member Petros Lalangas and current chairman Stavros Hatzigrigoris, gm of Maran Tankers. Section vc John Kokarakis represented the Greek Section at the annual meeting and accepted the awards on behalf of Lalangas and Hatzigrigoris. The event culminated with the medal presented in honour of Kenneth Davidson going to NTUA professor Apostolos Papanikolaou for outstanding scientific accomplishments in ship research.
* Elena Mavrogonatou, previously head of Greek and Cypriot markets at Barclays Wealth, is to spearhead a new shipping wealth management operation launched by RBS and Coutts to be run from Coutts' hq in London. In a statement, December 6, Coutts said that Mavrogonatou, who has previously worked at Greece's Marfin Egnatia Bank, Merrill Lynch, Banque Suisse and Morgan Stanley, "will be responsible for leveraging RBS Shipping's leading global position in shipping finance, to introduce the wealth management offering of Coutts International Private Banking to high-net-worth individuals working within the industry". The announcement said offices in Zurich, Monaco and Singapore will act as liaison points with London. Oh... and the minimum investment is $1m.
* Revoil explained its move into dry bulk shipping at a presentation December 7 made at the B. M. Theocharakis Foundation for Fine Arts and Music. Founder and president of Revoil, Evangelos Roussos and son Ioannis E Roussos, ceo of the oil company's 100% owned subsidiary Ariston EEPN said the group has been looking for more than a year at shipping as a key to its expansion plans.
* Germanischer Lloyd (GL) held a forum on container ships featuring speakers and experts in the field from GL head office. The latest container ship design aspects, solutions for improvement of vessels efficiency and latest regulations coming into force, were presented by Jan-Olaf Probst executive vp, Ship Newbuilding Division; Fridtjof Rohde FutureShip GmbH; and Pierre C Sames senior vp, Strategic Research and Development, during the December 9 forum at Metropolitan Hotel, Palio Faliron. The presentations and discussions were followed by a get-together, cocktail reception.
* Clas Ryden, the head, and the management of the Piraeus Syndicate of the P&I mutual Skuld hosted a Christmas dinner for over 200 guests December 7 at the Athinais, Votanikos. It was the second celebration for Skuld in a week. On December 1, Skuld held a wine tasting lunch hosted at the Zinc bar-restaurant, Marina Floisvos, when members and friends mixed pleasure with business. The club used the occasion to update the market on the launching of Skuld 1897 - Syndicate at Lloyd's, "one of the most significant diversifications in the club's long 103-year history". The presentation was used to assure all that Skuld is "totally committed to growing the mutual business" but the new vehicles -- Skuld 1897 and Skuld Offshore enabled the club to underwrite marine and offshore energy products.
* George Kalogeropoulos, a director of Restis Group-backed Swissmarine and Safbulk, has joined the board of US-listed Freeseas following the resignation of Kostas Koutsoubelis, the Restis group's cfo. Koutsoubelis recently quit as a director of US-listed Seanergy Maritime, also backed by Restis. A Freeseas' statement says Koutsoubelis left for personal reasons, the same explanation given for his departure from Seanergy. The Restis group provides charter and post-charter management for the Freeseas fleet, led by Ion Varouxakis.
* The Greek maritime administration will offer special services to organisers and participants of the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games to be held in this country from June 25 to July 4. Maritime Affairs, Islands and Fisheries minister, Yiannis Diamantidis, and the president of the Athens Special Olympics organising committee, Ioanna Despotopoulou, signed a memorandum of cooperation on the requisite accommodations the ministry will offer for the success of the event. Despotopoulou presented the minister with the medal of honour of the Special Olympics describing him "a great 'Anthropos' ('Human') with a capital A". Some 7,500 athletes competing in 22 sports, 2,500 coaches and 3,000 members of the media are expected to come to Greece from 185 countries.
Greek Shipowners Dealing With The 25% Of World Fleet
---Posted on 10 December 2010 by Apostolos Papapostolou ShareThis
Greek shipowners remain dominant in the sea but also in trading, doing business with the 25% of the world fleet. They stay at the top of deals, ending 2010, according to N. Cotzias Shipping Consultants.
Norwegian owners take the second position having bought 31 new ships and spending 951 million dollars, while Americans climbed at the third place.
Regarding to dry cargo ships, the Greeks maintained the lead over Chinese shipowners, having added 221 new ships to their fleet (24.6% of total purchases) and sold 161. They have added additional 11.66 million tons dwt capacity, which represents 28.53% of the total tonnage purchased in 2010. The value of the market shaped to 5.41 billion dollars, Cotzias Shipping Consultants noted.
The Chinese added 169 dry cargo ships to their fleet, spending 2.608 billion dollars. The Turks ranked third with 39 new ships since the beginning of the year.
November was strengthened in terms of transactions, as 81 deals of 3.8million tons, worth 1.4billion dollars took place.
Since the beginning of 2011, 911 ships have been sold for about 15 billion dollars, while for the Jan-Nov 2010 period the corresponding amount was 948 ships for 12 billion dollars. This clearly means that ships cost more and dealers shift into used ships market achieving lower prices.
Regarding to bulkers, 668 ships with an average capacity of 57,900 dwt and average price of 17 million dollars were sold in 2009. In 2010, 570 ships were sold of an average capacity of 60,500 dwt and average price of 26 million dollars.

Operators face funding tests
--- * Thursday 09 December 2010, 17:42 * by Nigel Lowry
Lines face challenging times despite strong backers
Anek Lines and Hellenic Seaways
CRETE-based Anek Lines and privately held coastal giant Hellenic Seaways nowadays are both controlled by Cyprus-listed investment company Sea Star Capital.
Hellenic operates the biggest Greek fleet, comprising 30 vessels, from fast passenger catamarans to freight ro-ros.
Mr Vardinoyannis, a 29.9% stakeholder in Sea Star, is not the only heavy hitter in the group. The Restis shipping family has a 12%-13% stake and Stelios Haji-Ioannou became the fourth largest shareholder with a 5.5% stake last year when Sea Star bought his easyCruise venture.
Attica Group
ATTICA is 89% owned by Marfin Investment Group, which bought the company from Pericles Panagopulos three years ago.
The start of last year saw a triple merger between the holding company and its two ferry operations, Superfast Ferries and Blue Star Ferries, which operate a combined fleet of 14 ro-paxes in the Aegean and Adriatic.
Last year the group signed orders worth $135m for two ropax newbuildings from South Korea.
Minoan Lines
In recent years, Minoan has streamlined its business by divesting itself of stakes in other companies and concentrating on its fleet of cruise-style ro-pax ferries.

Mixed fortunes seem set to dominate dry markets into 2011
---excerpts from Fairplay - Markets 09 Dec 2010
McClure, Tsirigakis and fellow panelist Dale Ploughman (from Seanergy) all agreed that delays on vessel deliveries would probably affect about 40% of the stated orderbook in 2011.
Ploughman said non-deliveries would be more prevalent for smaller ships (where orders were taken by geenfield yards that may never build the vessels), thus keeping a lid on supply in the smaller sizes.

Dynacom eyes up Zacchello ships
---A Greek tanker major is targetting three newbuildings booked by another owner.
Greek tanker giant Dynacom is in the process of acquiring three tanker newbuildings booked at Hyundai Heavy Industries by cash-strapped Antonio Zacchello-controlled companies.
The price put on the deals is a total of $280m, with the VLCCs said to be changing hands at $108m each and the suezmax at $65m. Procopiou says the prices are sufficiently close to these levels not to call for a correction.
The Greek owner says he does not see the acquisitions as opportunities but as market-level deals and adds that he wants to take a fair stance toward the existing owners.
Back in July, TradeWinds reported that Zacchello had bartered a couple of 165,000-dwt suezmax tankers ordered at Hyundai at the peak of the newbuilding boom into two 320,000-dwt VLCCs to be built at the market prices of the time.
Meanwhile, according to database listings, Procopiou already controls a fleet that includes a dozen VLCCs and 14 suezmaxes in the water and has seven VLCCs and eight suezmaxes on order with deliveries up to 2013.
Next year, Dynacom will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Its intensive fleet-renewal programme, launched in 2001, has seen the average age of the fleet go from around 22 years to just three years.

Golden Seas successfully towed to Dutch Harbor
---KUCB News (2010-12-07) (Air Station Kodiak)
UNALASKA, AK (kucb) - The 738-foot cargo ship Golden Seas was successfully towed into Broad Bay at 1pm on Tuesday. The icebreaker Tor Viking towed the vessel 500 miles after connecting with the ship near Atka Island in the Western Aleutians, and it was escorted by the Coast Guard cutter Alex Haley.
The Golden Seas is owned by the Greek shipping company AllSeas Marine, and it was traveling from Canada to the United Arab Emirates when it lost power about 70 miles north of Adak on Friday and went adrift. The Golden Seas later regained limited power and was able to steer away from land. The icebreaker Tor Viking II was then reached the distressed vessel on Saturday.
Technicians from AllSeas Marine are traveling from Anchorage to Unalaska, and repairs to the Golden Seas are expected be done by the end of the week. The Coast Guard will be overseeing the repairs, says Petty Officer David Mosley.
"The Coast Guard men and women who are stationed in Unalaska will be monitoring and working with the crews to ensure that proper repairs are made to the engine to ensure the safety of that crew once they set back to sea," says Mosley.
The Golden Seas will be continuing its voyage to the United Arab Emirates after leaving Dutch Harbor, according to AllSeas Marine spokesperson Adam Baylor.

Friday…it is Friday, isn't it?? Hm, our 2 weeks for $40 runs out on Sunday. Do we stay or go? Do we rush to see all the stuff we haven't seen yet, give it up, go see friends in Arizona, or just flip a coin? Decisions, decisions. Too much pressure! Gotta get away from it all.
So we took off for Blythe. We're getting to know that town pretty well by now. Thanks to our good friend Mal back home and the USPS, we had a big packet of mail waiting for us at General Delivery.
I finally got some pictures of the cotton bales so plentiful here as we headed south on Hwy 78. South and south we went, till we got to Ogilby Road. What a delight to go adventuring on paved roads for a change! Past Buzzard Peak is a turn off to Imperial Gables. What on earth could be given such a fancy name in this decidedly unimperial desert? (Well, I guess it IS Imperial County. I really should figure out why they called it that. I know it was part of Riverside originally.) Our "looseleaf" map (the one that is no longer falling apart…it has long since finished doing that) says there is even an airfield there. Was Patton there long ago?
But we didn't go to Imperial Gables, we kept going to Tumco. I know, it isn't there anymore, so don't waste too much time looking for it. As the sign says at the Welcome to Tumco site, the old miners were really good at digging holes but not so good at filling them in, so watch where you're going. Tumco is in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains, a small range, not very high, of jagged, colored rocks. The story goes that in the late 1700s or early 1800s, young boys returned to their homes laden with gold ore. Muchacho is "boy" in Spanish and cargo probably means about what it does in English. This area has been mined off and on since the late 1700s and who knows how long before that, if the local tribes had any use for gold.
We found many diggings, both horizontal and vertical, most well-secured with ironwork so that people cannot accidentally fall in. The cemetery is the most visible remainder besides the mineworks. There are a few old slabs, basements, foundations, and an old well long since gone dry. Badly rusted tanks sit at the base of one extensive digging. They were probably used to treat the ore with cyanide, a common process in early mining.
The PDF file Keri sent me on the early mining history of the county indicated that the American Girl mine, down the road just a couple of miles or so from the Tumco mines had been reactivated in the early 1990s, so we went to see if any modern day mining was going on. Amazingly, we encountered no "no trespassing" signs but did see evidence of current mining, both strip mining and underground mining.
A shortcut back to the campground beckoned and though it looked quite passable, we wanted to get home before dark, so we left while still curious about the area. Back up the paved roads to Milpitas Wash Road, indicated on the shiny new map we found as a "county road", one "easy" to drive. We'd checked the end of it and found it wide and level and only a little washboardy.
They lie. Easy for a mountain goat with night vision, maybe. The washboardy part lasted about as long as the beautiful sunset. Dusk brought ever more washouts that hadn't been graded in way too long. The BLM did a remarkable job of marking the road, since the county road maintainer had done little maintaining, or we would never have figured out which washed-out track was the right one. Almost an hour and a half later, we crossed the line into Riverside County where the county maintainer does a masterful job on what at that point becomes Wiley Well Road…our current address. Oh wow…the joy of getting up to 20 mph! Even 30!
His Highness the Driver was humbly served TWO beers by Her Lowliness the Navigator, as well as gourmet hotdogs and canned beans. His Highness was also relieved of all other household duties for the rest of the evening.

Meghan Markle had a close call at the weekend after she almost slipped over while navigating her way across a lawn in stilettos.
The new Duchess of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry attended their first wedding as man and wife when Harry's cousin Celia McCorquodale – who is the daughter of Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale – tied the knot in Lincolnshire.
Meghan was dressed in a floaty Oscar de la Renta dress with a blue floral pattern and recycled the white heels she wore to her own wedding reception last month.
But it was those very stilettos that almost landed her in a spot of trouble when she nearly lost her footing while walking on grass.
Thankfully it was only a stumble and not a full slip, and with the help of Harry's steady hand she avoided disaster.
Four weeks after their own big day, the newlyweds were looking as loved up as ever as they joined members of Diana's family for the wedding.
Harry, who was beaming, was dressed up for the occasion in pinstriped trousers, a vest and evening jacket.
Meanwhile the bride continued a tradition championed by Diana by wearing the famous Spencer family tiara.
The tiara hasn't been seen in years, mainly because it was on the road in an exhibit about Diana's life until recent years.
Diana and her sisters, Lady Sarah and Lady Jane Fellowes, all donned the glittering tiara for their wedding days.

Scandinavia's premier User Experience and Service Design Conference
3 May 2019, Stockholm
Design-driven organization have had a tremendous success since we first started this conference back in 2007. Today, most of us working in this field are way beyond the challenge of convincing people that design is a – or perhaps the – key tool to create great business value. Instead, the challenge is often how to best integrate design into our respective organizations, and how to really make things happen.
At From Business to Buttons 2019 you'll get key insights into how to best collaborate to get the most value for your organisation. We'll talk leadership, design systems, and how to go from design thinking to design doing. We'll talk about how to actually use machine learning to add value to our solutions. We'll even venture into space… This may sound abstract, but on the contrary, this year we'll be more hands-on than ever. This year, we're all about doing!
This year FBTB will be a more intimate event. Therefore, tickets will be limited.
Group discount: If you're five or more from the same organization you're entitled to a group discount. Contact email@example.com for more information.
All prices are ex. VAT.

Limited to 100 tickets!
Sold out!
Tickets 6 990 SEK

The doors will be open for registration at 8 am. The program on stage starts at 9 am. We'll keep going until 5 pm, when the mingle and afterparty starts. A more detailed schedule and topics and will be announced during the spring.
The venue for the conference in 2019 is Cirkus in Djurgården, Stockholm. It was built in 1892 and has been renovated several times, but always remained a true landmark in Stockholm. Almost everyone – yup – from Kraftwerk, Soundgarden to Rolling Stones and Laleh, has made their mark at Cirkus.
The easiest way to travel to Cirkus is by bus 67 or tram 7; the nearest stop is Skansen. If you want to arrive in style, you can also take the ferry from Slussen.
"The speakers and the time to hang out with the UX community, the venue, the arrangement in total. Super!"
"Very good choice of speakers, the food and beverages were really good, friendly atmosphere and the giveaways!"

"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9 ESV)
I am pretty excited about this. About what we are doing together right now. As part of a Lenten link-up with She Reads Truth, we will specifically be dealing with meditation and confession as the topic of the devotions for these next two weeks. But don't leave yet. Because meditation isn't just yoga and confession isn't just something to make you feel bad. I have provided the definitions of the words within this post because I want you to take away any connotations you may have of these terms and try only to look at their denotation. These things aren't easy though. I think in really preparing our hearts for what we are going to do, SRT puts it best by saying, "
There's a reason meditation and confession are called spiritual disciplines.
They don't come naturally. They are not comfortable. But then again, comfort is not the point, is it? Setting our minds on things above (Colossians 3:2) is the point. Coming clean to be cleaned (1 John 1:9) is the point."
With that, reread those two verses up there and lets dive in.
Straightforward, first part of the verse, God is telling Joshua to meditate on the Law. The coolest part is that God even tells him why (sometimes I feel just like a toddler when reading the Bible: "but why?" "why God?" "well, why though?"). The verse goes on to say that he should meditate so that he is able to follow the law and that by that he will be prosperous (not in the gold and diamonds way, but rather that he was going to be the example of obedience of the law to God's people). That's really exciting if we think about it: That by meditating on the word, God will begin to tattoo it on our hearts and our whole being will begin to conform to Him. If I'm honest I would tell you that I don't normally practice this discipline. But I wonder what my life would look like if I did. I know that just in these past few months of reading daily and memorizing a bible verse every here and there, my whole life has changed drastically. So then, if I actually took time to really strip everything else away and focus my whole being on Him regularly, how much more would He do through me?
And now the part we'd rather just skip. Even though this verse doesn't outright command confession, I think that we can all admit that we're not always strong and courageous, putting our full trust in God and His faithfulness. I think that no matter how many times we look at any commandment, somewhere, somehow we've fallen short. Confession is about admitting that and coming before God bare, just laying it all out there even if it hurts or makes you feel uncomfortable. You have nothing to bring to the table except sin, so bring it. Guess who's there mediating that conversation? Jesus! He just told us that He's with us wherever we go, and He's with us when we're feeling awful about sin and He's ready to lead us through it. In Calvin's commentary on verse nine, "...nothing is more effectual to produce confidence than when trusting to the call and the command of God, and feeling fully assured of it in our own conscience, we follow [to whatever place] he is pleased to lead."
Even if that's an uncomfortable place. Like we talked about in Jonah 1 & 2 and 3 & 4, sometimes God takes us to deep, dark places to reveal His glory.
So now, let's take some time to meditate on God's word. Let's put aside any distraction (ehehm, your phone counts) and fix the entirety of our being on God and His word.
And maybe that's going to lead you to a place of confession. That's exactly where God wants us to be. So, lets confidently approach our Father with full assurance that He not only hears us but forgives us because of what Christ has already done for us.
Way better than yoga or some stuffy confessional box.
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15-16 ESV)

Scottsbluff police are investigating the city's first homicide of the year.
The body of 48-year-old Melissa May was found Tuesday morning in a Scottsbluff apartment. Officers were sent there for a welfare check.
It's reported May lived in the same apartment complex, called R.C. Scot, but not in the unit where she was found.
Investigators say it appears May was killed by someone over the weekend but they're not commenting on how she died.
No arrests have been made and police say they have no suspects.

Posted by Dexter Francois | Posted in Arnold Palmer, Michael Breed, The Golf Fix, Video Instruction | Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010
Arnold Palmer will be making a special guest appearance on The Golf Fix with Michael Breed tonight. Palmer is one of the greatest golfers ever to step onto a golf course. He captured many titles on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour in a career that began in 1955.
Palmer did a lot for the commercialization of the sport around the world. He was the face of many products and seemed to be in every advertisement on radio and television. Palmer was one of the first if not the first athlete to hire an agent to handle his business affairs. He and his agent pioneered the trend of celebrities lending their image and skills for advertising.
He was a member of "The Big Three" along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. These three popularized the game by playing exhibitions around the world. They cared about the game and did everything they could to promote it around the globe.
I never really got a chance to see Palmer play as I didn't start playing or paying attention to golf until three years ago. I have watched footage of Shell's Wonderful World Of Golf on The Golf Channel (which he helped to get on the air) and would have loved to see him play in his prime.
The Arnold Palmer Invitational will be held this weekend at his Bayhill Club in Orlando. The field is stacked with some of the top players in the world so it should be a great tournament. Be sure to tune in for tonight's broadcast. This episode has a special start time of 6:30 PM est. so don't be late. If you miss it, of course, you can always catch the replay at 1:00 AM est. but I can't stay up that late. I have an early tee time. Have a good one and always hit your target.

"There is no room in baseball for discrimination."
Lou Gehrig (1903–41)
Columbia College 1921–1923
Lou Gehrig set the record for consecutive games played. Of all the players in baseball history, none possessed as much talent and humility as Lou Gehrig. His accomplishments on the field made him an authentic American hero, and his tragic early death made him a legend.

"I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for."

25% of working people cannot get to their place of work by public transport, so it's one in four in this area.
"The Government is desperate for us to ditch our cars and replace them with zero-emissions electric models or use public transport in a bid to reduce air pollution in the country.
However, a new study has highlighted that more than 10 million Britons would be unable to get to work if they could only rely on buses, trains and other modes of public transport.
Direct Line Car Insurance said a fifth of workers either don't have a public transport link into their nearest town centre or would have to use three or more modes of shared transport to get to work. … "

Plan Check Denial in Los Angeles?
CCIDC needs your help
We are looking for Certified Interior Designers who have been denied plan check for their non-structural, non-seismic interior design plans by the Los Angeles Dept. of Building & Safety (LADBS) and
If you reside in the City of Los Angeles and are willing to contact your Los Angeles city council member, our goal is to set up a meeting with the LA Dept. of Building & Safety (LADBS) to discuss their overly restrictive policy as it relates to their document number P/BC 2002-073, (Policy on Signed and Wet Stamped plans).
Thus far, attempts to meet with LADBS to discuss their policy have been rebuffed by their Chief Building Officer (CBO).

For a long time I have considered chokers a dubious sartorial statement. I think my distaste roots in the nauseating flashback I get of those stringy 'tattoo' chokers in every party bag of every kids party I ever went to (along with the obligatory dodgy cake wrapped in napkin).
But now, summer around the corner, I am considering whether I have unreasonably tarred them with an unfashionable, tacky, noughties brush. I'm not sure if it's solely the summer For Love and Lemons campaign, or if it's the deluge of supermodels sporting them, but I think, when worn well, I might just love them.
So here's a few tips of how to pull them off, and not look like said over-indulged children.
1. Avoid the really thick ones
Unless you're a super model or giraffe, the super thick chokers are hard to pull off. Skinny velvet or silk in neutral colours are the easiest to wear, and the subtlest if you're not convinced yet!
2. Stay clear of embellishments
They tend to look a little tacky and teenager-y. Especially steer clear of sequins, tassels, above all not go near the 'gothic' and 'baroque' chokers! Unless you're a goth, or attending a very early Halloween party. If plain isn't your style, try a pretty lace or ribbon, like this pretty pink ribbon one from Asos. The best thing about this is that it's stretchy and completely comfortable.
3. Lariats are a great alterative
Lariats are a fantastic alternative, especially with work or evening wear,and can create a slightly more grown-up look. Plus they look fantastic with a low-cut or backless dress, and if they're good enough for Jennifer Lawrence, they're good enough for us.
4. If you're less brave, try a slightly looser style, or a silk scarf
These work especially well if you're slightly older, and silk scarves are always chic. This one from Asos is gorgeous, but sold out immediately. Similar ones can be bought on Etsy and Free People have some beautiful silk neck scarves
And finally, two warnings. Firstly, STAY AWAY from the tattoo chokers of 2003, literally no one wears them well. And secondly, stay away from anything that isn't stretchy if you have a cold (I broke two sneezing!) Here's a few of my favourites that are currently in the shops.
Enjoy, Lots of love x

The 388 equal division divides the octave into 388 equal parts of 3.0928 cents each. 388edo is the first edo that is uniquely consistent through to the 27-limit; it is also consistent through the 37-limit.
388 tempers out the vishnuzma, |23 6 -14>, in the 5-limit, 4375/4374 and 235298/234375 in the 7-limit, and 5632/5625, 3025/3024 and 9801/9800 in the 11-limit and 847/845, 1001/1000 and 4096/4095 in the 13-limit. It is the optimal patent val for cuthbert temperament, which tempers out cuthbert, the 847/845 comma, and for a number of other temperaments tempering out cuthbert, eg 198&388. By tempering out cuthbert it supports the cuthbert triad.

Wolf Hall : The Tudor Music
The soundtrack to BBC/PBS television series Wolf Hall brings King Henry VIII's court to life with dances and songs from the early 16thC—some of which were composed by the monarch himself. Filmed in the great historic houses in England, the series features specialist period musicians playing live on set. All the Tudor Music for the production has been carefully sourced and arranged by Claire van Kampen, and recorded with the Musicians of Shakespeare's Globe at the famous Abbey Road Studios, London, England.
A note from the composer, Claire van Kampen
Before principal photography began on the BBC/PBS TV series of Wolf Hall, its director Peter Kosminsky asked me to source and arrange all the Tudor music for the production to accompany Debbie Wiseman's modern score.
With the aesthetic of this very uniquely researched work for television in mind, Peter felt it especially important to not only record our specialist Early Music players, but to go to the considerable extra expense of filming them playing live.
This extra investment has resulted in an entirely new audience for music and instruments of the early Tudor period, as well as giving this series of Wolf Hall a great sense of organic authenticity.
Filmed in candlelight, in some of the most beautiful historical great houses in England, we brought Henry VIII's court to life with dances and songs, some of which were written by the monarch himself.
The music follows the story of the rise of two people: Thomas Cromwell, who rose from the lowly position of a Blacksmith's son to become the King's chief minister; and the woman Henry made Queen, then only to condemn her to death: Anne Boleyn. It is a story of dancing and of love, of ceremony, and finally, of tragedy.
Henry VIII, a man of deeply religious conviction, was also renowned for his physical prowess in hunting, jousting, and dancing. He probably sang well, and was musically highly educated, leaving a legacy of his own songs and compositions. His invitation to the musicians of France, Venice and the low Countries to bring their talents to the English courts resulted in the flowering of the English Golden Age of music, under his—and Anne Boleyn's—daughter, Queen Elizabeth 1st. This created a tremendous diversity of material—a taste of which we were able to represent on Wolf Hall.

Amid all the acrimony and tribalism, we should take a moment to celebrate our democracy. Five candidates vied for the chance to unseat Andy Harris. How extraordinary that Jesse Colvin won that right.
When Jesse entered the race he probably did not know a hundred people in the First District. He was newly married and expecting his first child. He had no personal money to finance a Congressional campaign. What he did have were leadership skills honed from his Army Ranger experience, conviction that the First District was poorly represented by a Freedom Caucus member, and tremendous energy for the contest.
Jesse won by running toward the problem, driving up and down our expansive First District for six months and speaking softly, but with conviction, to hundreds of small groups of citizens. Time and again I witnessed people listen to him and then enlist in his cause.
What a great country where a young citizen without prior political experience or buckets of money, can by the force of his character, good humor and effort win a Congressional primary. This alone is worth celebrating. And now Republicans and Independents will have the opportunity to meet Jesse Colvin.
Andy Harris should be concerned.

Constrained By Love
2 Corinthians 5:11: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 14a For the love of Christ constraineth us; . . .
I love some of the definitions of that word constraineth: to hold together, to compress, to arrest, to compel, to preoccupy, to hold, to keep in, to lie sick of, to be in a strait and to be taken with. Being constrained by His love is a manifold blessing. To me, these definitions do not indicate something that we are forced into. We must be willing to be constrained by Christ*s love. When we truly love Him, we will be willing. When we are constrained by His love, we will understand the horrible destiny of those who are not constrained by His love and we will persuade them to trust Him, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully. When we fully know and believe that He loves us, that He knows best and that He is all-powerful, we will have no problem seeking His will and obeying it. When we are constrained by His love we will love other believers and our neighbors.
John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Galatians 5:14: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
When we are constrained by the love of Christ, we will have no problem loving God.
Luke 10:27: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
When Christian leaders are constrained by the love of Christ, other believers who are also constrained by the love of Christ will have no problem obeying them.
Hebrews 13:17: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
When husbands are constrained by the love of Christ, wives who are also constrained by the love of Christ will have no problem submitting themselves to their husbands.
When I first became saved I learned some important things. Jesus really does love me, He really does have my best interests at heart and when I obey Him (when I am constrained by His love) everything is better.
Deuteronomy 5:33: Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
It is our duty to obey the Lord. We owe it to Him, but it is far better when our motivation is His love for us and our love for Him.

It's your September Twenty-Eighth Davey Mac Sports Report and the Ravens and Browns played last night, with the Ravens winning, 23 to 16. But the main story was that the actual NFL officials returned to football. In this journalist's opinion, it was great to see the Replacement-Replacement refs back in action. And hopefully another lockout doesn't occur, or we'll get the Replacement-Replacement-Replacement Refs back. And we certainly don't need that. Anyway, the real refs actually got a standing ovation from the fans in Baltimore. In other news, cats and dogs have squashed their beef and will get married in Massachusetts, Optimus Prime has decided to give up transforming into a large truck and will opt to change into a paper towel instead, Mitt Romney says he will now go by the name Sock Romney, Garfield insists that he will "get off his fat ass and get in shape", and the Emperor declares that he will begin "listening to Phish and forget about this whole Empire and Dark Side of the Force stuff and just chill out and whatnot."
And yes, folks, as I said earlier in this Report, there was another NFL Thursday Night Football game; even though it's fucking September!! I'm sorry, but I can't stand by this decision to have football on Thursday's that aren't Thanksgiving. The only solution, to me, would be if America declares EVERY Thursday "Thanksgiving Day" and we celebrate that crazy-assed, Pilgrim-and-Indian-fucked-up holiday every week!! But that's gonna take an extraordinary imagination with regards to side dishes!!! I mean, if we are gonna have Thanksgiving and thus eating turkey every fucking Thursday, then we're gonna need to come up with some creative ways to cook potatoes!! 'Cause although I love 'em, I'm not gonna be eatin' sweet potatoes every fucking week, you sons of bitches!!! I need some diversity!!!!!
…oh fuck it, let's just go to Pizza Hut instead…
Hey, on this day in 1941, Ted Williams went 6 for 8 in a double-header, putting his average for the season at .406. In the 71 years since, no man has hit for .400 in Major League Baseball. And I do not think a player ever will hit for .400 again. There's a better chance of my dick falling off then, OH MY GOD, MY COCK IS ON THE FLOOR!!!! NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH ALL MY PEE-PEE?!?!? I MEAN, I CAN STORE IT IN MY TUMMY FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY PEE-PEE!! CAN ONE SHIT PEE-PEE?!?! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
The Davey Mac Player of the Day goes to Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey, the knuckle-baller who got his twentieth win of the season yesterday. I promise I'm not gonna laugh when I write his name but Dickey (giggle), is just having a great year and if they don't give Dickey (chortle) the NL Cy Young then they owe Dickey–oh fuck it–AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!! I'm sorry!! But his fucking name is DICKEY!!! Like PENIS-ey!! Oh geez, that really cracks me up!!! I also get cracked up by farts, animals wearing bow-ties, and clowns that are passed out on my mom's couch.
See you guys Saturday on Sirius XM Satellite Radio for the Davey Mac Sports Program XL…LIVE at 7 PM Eastern, 4 Pacific on The Opie & Anthony Channel (Sirius 206, XM 105)!! Have a good weekend!!
-Dave (9/28/12)

Yes, that Mr. Larkin is a genius.
My guess it that piece was done for TV Guide based upon the sepia tone and lack of major colors.

Marissa Alexander Sentenced To 20 Years For Firing Gun At Her Ceiling
Alexander had invoked Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, like Trayvon Martin's killer George Zimmerman, saying she fired a shot at the ceiling to defend herself from an abusive husband. But judges rejected her explanation, and she was given a sentence of 20 years at a hearing today. She plans to appeal.

Advanced Search
I used to spend the first two hours or so of every day wandering around the
World Wide Web, catching up on the daily news and technical developments. This
bout of concentrated Web surfing inevitably left me waiting for fancy graphics
and banner ads to load, which isn't very useful when you're just trying to skim
the news and pick out the parts that might interest you.
Well, no longer. Now, just about everything I need gets delivered straight to
my copy of Microsoft Outlook. This includes mainstream news stories, notices of
new software on Download.com and SourceForge, technical blog entries from
developers I trust, press releases, and information from the trade press. With
everything in one place, it's become a lot easier for me to scan and find the
bits that I really want to read. Now I can get through even more news in far
less time.
What's caused this change in my habits? A combination of a technology and a
product. The technology is RSS, and the product is the $29 NewsGator, which just announced the
imminent release of version 2.0.
You've probably heard of RSS, but just in case you're a little vague on the
concept I'll review the basics. RSS is a simple XML file format that's designed
to hold headlines and stories. The format is so simple that you can put together
an RSS file by hand, although you probably won't need to; there are dozens of
tools to help do the job. You can find some of them by visiting the RSS resources list that
I maintain. Most content management systems, from humble weblog engines to the
big players, can automatically produce an RSS file (usually called an "RSS
feed") from updated content.
The other half of the RSS equation is a piece of client-side software called
an RSS aggregator. An RSS aggregator visits a collection of feeds that you
specify on a regular basis, perhaps once an hour. As it downloads them, it
checks to see which items in the feeds are new since the last time it grabbed a
copy, and displays them to you. That's really all there is to the technology; an
XML-based contract for passing "what's new" information between Web servers and
desktop clients.
NewsGator is the client that I've settled on for my own use, because it
integrates directly with Microsoft Outlook, which is the one application that I
have open all day, every day. Each of the RSS feeds that I subscribe to is
presented in an Outlook folder, filled with messages. Coupled with an
Outlook 2003 search folder or NewsGator's own HTML root folder, I can
see all of the fresh news in a single list, just waiting for me to
decide which parts I'm interested in. Although the feeds come from Web
publishers, I never need to visit a Web site; all of the information just shows
up on my desktop. It's like Web surfing without ever opening a browser. I like
to think of this as the Surfless Web.
RSS has been around for about five years now, but there's been an explosion
in its usefulness lately, for three reasons. First, more and more Web sites are
making RSS feeds available. Second, aggregators are adding advanced
capabilities; NewsGator 2.0, for instance, offers a way to synchronize multiple
copies so you don't have to read the same news at home and at the office, and
also has a Web-based interface for those times that you're away from your e-mail
entirely. Third, RSS is making its way into other applications as a general
means of communication. My source code control system, for instance (I use SourceGear Vault) provides
an RSS feed of recent checkins. Now, when someone on my development team checks
in new code, I get notified right through Outlook. My bug-tracking tool (FogBUGZ) similarly provides an RSS feed of new
Overall, RSS has made a huge difference in my use of the Internet. I still
pull as much information as ever off the Web, but now I don't waste nearly as
much time in the browser as I used to, waiting for sites to load (or time out).
Instead, I let my aggregator do all the heavy lifting, and just absorb the
information when I'm ready to devote a few minutes to it. If you've never
experimented with RSS, I recommend taking a few minutes to find out what it can
do for you. For an overwhelming list of the available information, drop by syndic8, a valiant attempt to catalog all of
the thousands of RSS feeds on the Internet.

Hey folks – Buglife is awesome, and you should drop everything you're doing and try it out now. Afterwards, I'll be here to answer any questions!
Kristofer™@kristofertm · #6 Product Hunter. E-Skateboard fanatic
@schukin Looks awesome
Chris MaddernHiring@chrismaddern · Co-Founder, Button
I tried out a beta of this - it's really great & definitely something I'd hate to have to build myself!
Sarthak Grover@sarthakgrover · Consumer Tech
Awesome! Removes the whole friction of taking screenshots of stuff and then going all MS-PAIN(t) on it to annotate the issue (or whatever else 3rd party tool people use). With something like this, you are bound to get more 'feedback' since it simplifies the whole process.
Idris MokhtarzadaHiring@idris_mokhtarzada
Isn't this what Instabug does? What's your differentiator?
Théo Blochet@theoblochet · Product Guy. Currently @GetQonto
@idris Same question here :)
@theoblochet @idris There are definitely a number of bug reporting / feedback tools out there; as iOS developers, we've never been satisfied with any of the existing solutions. We built Buglife to be a more focused, polished & robust SDK that iOS developers & teams will truly love using. But don't take our word for it... Try it out & compare! :) In addition to unique features such as automatic screenshot blurring, Buglife has one major differentiator that we're particularly really proud of: Developers can use the SDK *for free*, without even signing up, by initializing Buglife in their code using only their email address. I believe we're one of the very few, if only, mobile toolkits with a web backend that can be used without signing up for an account / API key.

If you go ahead and take a look at really interesting and great baby photography examples for you to take a look at in the market right now, one thing that you should try to pay attention to or try to go out of your way to notice all of the time is the fact that there is almost always an abundance of props being used for the baby photo shoot. This is a kind of concept that has been around for years and it looks like it will stick around for a little while longer all throughout the time that you are here because it works and because it is something that looks great once they come out of post production.
And speaking of post production details, this might not turn out to be something that you are really quite well versed about but you should at least go out of your way to really go ahead and educate yourself about it as much as you possibly can. Here are a few things that will more or less help you manage your expectations the right way when it comes to the idea and concept of post production in baby photo shoots.
Post production is not something easy and it is something that actually takes up way more time than the actual photo shoot.
The amount of work and attention to detail that something like this will require from a baby photographer from behind the scenes will blow your mind and this is something that you should try to be considerate about as well. Don't ask your baby photographer for the final products of the baby photo shoot within a 48 hour window or less after the said shoot. It certainly doesn't work that way and this certainly isn't the type of thing that you should be just swinging off to the side. You need to make sure that you show a little more respect and understanding to really let your photographer know that you know what he is trying to do and that you support him every step of the way. It will surprise you how something as simple as having a little does of patience could make all of the difference in the world at the end of the day.
Props are always present.
Another thing that you need to look into when you are reviewing baby photography examples is that you ought to notice that props are almost always present. This is a talk that you will need to have with your official baby photographer ahead of time. Chances are, he already has all of the props that you are possibly thinking about using for the baby photo shoot but it will prepare him better if you specifically request for the ones that you would like to have during the said shoot. Take your cue or gain inspiration from the various types of baby photography examples available in the market right now and take notes somewhere along the way if you have to because it will help you out a lot in terms of bringing your baby photo shoot visions to life.

Raj Prem, the remarkable curator and collector celebrated for his photography exhibtions of rock icons from the decades of '60s and '70s, is proud to represent Peter Webb and his undiscovered work "Sticky Fingers" Photos at SFAE. The photos emerged after forty years of being misplaced in the attic of Peter Webb's brother-in-law, and they have come up in current issues of Rolling Stone and Wall Street Journal. They were initially exhibited by Prem in the SFAE "Decca Years" exhibition seven years back, which was co-produced by him. The San Francisco Art Exchange, also known as SFAE, was the principal gallery in the world to show music photography category, and is probably the most successful channel for celebrity photography. To date, Raj Prem and SFAE have created over 40 exhibitions in more than 18 years, working with photographers including Robert Freeman ("Beatles for Sale" exhibition in 2013), Iain MacMillan (best-selling Abbey Road Collection), Terry O'Neill, and Pattie Boyd.

Owners of Hever Castle have installed a LogWIN gasification boiler
from Windhager for the Pavilion Restaurant as part of their
commitment to becoming more environmentally friendly, replacing old
equipment with more energy efficient solutions.
The historic castle was the childhood home to Anne Boleyn, second wife to King Henry VIII and later passed into ownership of Henry's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.
The 50kW LogWIN boiler has been installed as part of a £500,000 project to update the castle, restaurant, shop and residential buildings by using an environmentally friendly alternative to the old oil-fired and LPG boilers which had previously been providing heating and hot water at a cost of £100,000 per annum.
With the price of oil and gas expected to rise further, the owners have chosen to make the most of the surrounding woodland by installing the log gasification boiler, returning the castle to using its original method of heating using wood sourced from the grounds.
Consulting Engineers for the project, MCA Ltd, have been working with Hever Castle on a biomass district heating scheme for a number of years and specified the system from Windhager after being impressed when installing a Windhager boiler in a previous project. Michael Cade, Director at MCA explained, " After researching competitors we chose to work with Windhager as the best overall in terms of price, service and quality products. We are extremely happy with the installation."
Installed by Douch Partners Ltd, the boiler is situated in a boiler house at the back of the restaurant. Toby Douch at Douch Partners commented, "Windhager is well known for manufacturing the highest quality boilers available. The company's heating engineer background means it has a good reputation for customer support and well-informed management which is so important as biomass is a relatively new technology."
Windhager has also supplied a 30kW LogWIN boiler to Haddon Hall, a fortified medieval manor house dating from the 12th Century. Specified by current owner Lord Edward Manners after a recommendation of Windhager from a previous project, the boiler provides hot water to the private apartments in Haddon Hall, replacing the old solid fuel boiler which was beginning to leak.
The 350 hectares of woodland on the estate will provide a virtually free source of energy for the LogWIN which is situated in a boiler room under the private apartments.
LogWIN appliances are an economic and efficient method of supplying heating and hot water in a clean and environmentally sustainable way. The LogWIN is the most technologically advanced in its class in terms of output ranges and efficiency, with maximum performance and cleaner burning ensured by the new down-firing technique.
Part of the new generation of wood gasification boilers, the LogWIN has the largest filling chamber in its class of up to 226 litres, ensuring longer burning times for a more convenient solution with longer maintenance intervals and simple fuel replenishment without having to relight the boiler. LogWIN has a corrosion resistant stainless steel combustion chamber and is provided with a 10 year warranty.

Sin,—Though I have had no part in framing the Cambridge scheme for examining women recently published, and am not altogether prepared to justify its mildness, I should like to say a few words in defence of its principles.
I earnestly deprecate any jealousy between London and Cambridge in this matter. I quite agree with you that the scheme of London University represents a higher ideal of education, and I hope it may attract a large number of candidates But I hardly think it will meet the immediate practical need of many women who now desire examination. And in this ease it is safer than usual to neglect theory for practical needs, because any such examination instituted now must be regarded as provisional. For whatever may be said in favour of a different school education for the two sexes, the present exclusion of women from the higher studies of the University is perfectly indefensible in principle, and must sooner or later give way. When this barrier is broken down, whatever special examinations for women may still be retained will be very different from any that we now institute. At present we have two distinct classes to consider : students who wish for guidance and support in their studies, and professional teachers who wish to obtain proof of adequate capacity. The first class will be composed of exceptionally intellectual girls, and all these will try to obtain honours. It is only the inferior portion of the second class who will try merely to pass. In their case we shall best distinguish the competent from the incompetent by examining them in the few subjects which they will certainly profess, and be required to teach. We cannot expect parents in general suddenly to alter their views of what girls are to be taught ; and we shall probably have more immediate effect in improving education by raising the quality of what is demanded, than by attempting to supply something else.—I am, Sir, &c., HENRY SIDGWICK.

"Our government understands how important it is to conserve and restore our natural ecosystems and biodiversity." – Ontario's Kathryn McGarry, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
Province Investing in 105 Projects to Help At-Risk Plants and Animals
A News Release from the Ontario Government of Premier Kathleen Wynne
Posted April 10th, 2017 on Niagara At Large
Ontario is protecting species at risk and promoting their recovery by investing to create and rehabilitate habitats, conduct research on recovery efforts and threats and educate youth about at-risk plants and animals in their area.
Now in its eleventh year, the Species at Risk Stewardship Program helps find solutions to problems such as reversing the decline of pollinators in Ontario, preventing the spread of White Nose Syndrome among bat populations and determining what kind of artificial habitats can be installed to host barn swallow.
105 projects are receiving support this year. Work includes:
- Using science to monitor and conserve endangered bats in Ontario
- Protecting and restoring rare oak savanna habitat for multiple species at risk at St. Williams Conservation Reserve
- Recovering wood turtle populations in Huron County
- Creating habitat for 22 species at risk in and around the Sydenham River
- Enhancing the genetic diversity of the American chestnut tree and expanding seed colonies to continue to bring back this iconic tree.
- Investing in the conservation and protection of biodiversity in Ontario is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
Ontario is investing approximately $4.5 million in the 2017–18 Species at Risk Stewardship Program to support 53 new stewardship projects and 15 new research projects. Another 37 stewardship and research projects that began in previous years are receiving continued support.
Over the last 10 years, the Species at Risk Stewardship Program has funded more than 968 research and stewardship projects across Ontario, helping to restore 33,500 hectares of habitat for species at risk while creating 2,600 jobs and involving 28,000 volunteers.
This year's projects focus on badgers, bats, birds, fish, insects, plants, pollinators, snakes, turtles and wolverines, and various habitats.
The Species at Risk Stewardship Program invites applications each fall from Indigenous communities and organizations, academic institutions, Conservation Authorities, individuals, businesses, consulting companies and industry organizations, landowners and farmers, municipal and local governments, and non-governmental organizations.
Community projects supported in 2017–18
How species at risk are protected
"Our government understands how important it is to conserve and restore our natural ecosystems and biodiversity. We do this by supporting communities and organizations who are championing these important causes across the province. I am always struck by the dedication of Ontarians who take part in actively helping to protect and recover species at risk." — Kathryn McGarry, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry
"The Schad Gallery of Biodiversity at the Royal Ontario Museum opened in 2009 and was one of the original recipients of the Species at Risk Stewardship Fund. These funds helped promote conservation awareness and were a catalyst for advancing the ROM's internationally-recognized research. Congratulations on this important 10-year milestone and for the positive impact that the Stewardship Program has had conserving our biodiversity." — Dave Ireland, Managing Director, Biodiversity, Royal Ontario Museum
