Linda Neil
Administration Director
Zippy began volunteering for the USASA at the then NorCal Series out of North Tahoe in 1997 while her husband Adam competed. With the creation of the South Tahoe Series in 1998, her twin boys joined Adam and Zippy and together as a family they volunteered and competed for almost 15 years for the South Tahoe Series. Zippy began volunteering on a national level at the 2001 National Championships in Mammoth. As a mortgage broker by trade, Zippy reinvented herself in 2010 and began working full time for the USASA, where she now holds the title of Director of Administration. "This is the most rewarding job I have ever held. Seeing all the smiles of our athletes, their families, and friends, is very special. It's the gift that keeps on giving as we watch our USASA athletes progress to the next level and even to the Olympics."
Tricia Byrnes
Marketing Manager
Former professional snowboarder and industry icon, Tricia Byrnes has had her paws in everything shred for the last two and a half decades. Tricia came up through the Olympic pipeline spending 10 years on the U.S. Snowboarding Team and has competed in nearly every halfpipe snowboarding event including the first ever USASA Nationals and the 2002 Olympics. Upon retiring from competition, Tricia worked in various capacities in the snowboarding industry as an athlete manager, social media strategist, TV and Web commentator and now as USASA marketing manager.
Tricia continues to have a passion for snowboarding and the athletes that shape and define the sport. Tricia graduated from St. Michael's College and is currently a member of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard board of directors. She shares her time between Aspen, CO, and Portland, OR where she continues to explore her passion for snowboarding and outdoor adventures.
Paul Krahulec
Operations Director
Paul's involvement with the USASA began as a volunteer parent with Team Summit in 1996 as the point of contact between the USASA and the club. He was later voted in as the series director, which allowed him to expand the series reach from just servicing the needs of the Copper Mountain locals by offering competitive opportunities to the residents of Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, Winter Park, Eldora, Ski Cooper, Howelsen Hill and Steamboat Springs. His focus has been to help enable kids to pursue the sports they love and empowering them to learn skills that will follow them into adulthood.
He began his role as the Operations Director for the USASA in 2012 and is responsible for managing our cloud-based enterprise applications and database used to power the USASA and the 32 regional series. The USASA applications provide online membership, schedules, event registration, results and weekly regional/national rankings to the series who host 500 + events at over 100 resorts through the United States. He also assists in the coordination of the USASA calendar in cooperation with both the US Ski & Snowboard, the FIS & WSF / WSPL to minimize scheduling conflicts. Paul is a former World Snowboard Federation Board member, currently serves as the Rocky Mountain Snowboard representative for US Ski & Snowboard, is both a Snowboard and Freestyle Ski Technical Delegate for the FIS, officiating World Cup / NorAM events and as the Commissioner for the USASA Technical Commission.
Mike Mallon
Executive Director
Mike first began working with the USASA as the Head Coach of the USASA Junior National Team in 1996. For the next five years, he hosted JNT camps in Steamboat Springs where he was the Program Director of the SSWSC. After retiring from coaching in 2016, Mike has been continuing his passion for snowsports as the Executive Director. His commitment to the development of Snowboarding and Freeskiing in America is constant. In addition to his role as one of the top coaches in the world and an esteemed academy leader, he also served as the Sport Committee Chairman and was a member of the USSA Board of Directors for six years through two Olympic cycles.
Mike was the President of the USASA and led the board for four years as president. His colleagues have recognized his dedication to the sport with awards such as Domestic Coach of the Year, Anna McIntyre Citation, the prestigious FIS TD Westhaven Award, and five times his programs were recognized as Program of the Year by USSA. Mike is the only member of the USASA to hold both a TS4 (trainer) and a Coaches level 3 (trainer) certification. He also serves as a Technical Delegate for FIS, FIS World Cup and Nor-am events, is a USASA National TS and was the delegate from FIS in Korea at World Championships in 2009.

Two good news cooperative stories in one day.
The first reaches me indirectly via Le Monde, which ran a major feature in its paper yesterday on the success of the green electricity distribution coop EWS, based in the south German village of Schönau. EWS, set up by a local teacher Ursula Sladek who had lived through the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, took over the electricity distribution network for the community of Schönau itself in 1997 and now has grown to have customers throughout Germany. Its electricity is 100% renewable and comes from a variety of sources, including wind turbine and hydro generation… but definitely not nuclear. Turnover (2012) was 140 million euros, profits over 4 million euros, and the coop's members earn a 4% return on their money. The Le Monde article is currently available online here.
Here, just to brighten up my blog, is a picture of their Board, lifted from the EWS website. (I'm not entirely sure what they're holding.)
And closer to home an email brings news from the Phone Coop, which has just announced record profits for last year, at a little over half a million pounds. Dividends on customer purchases are in line to go up from 2% to 2.5%, and I understand that the Phone Coop is also planning to increase the contribution it makes to the development of other cooperatives through its Co-operative and Social Economy Development Fund. The Phone Coop also demonstrates the possibility of utilising capital from members, having now around £4m in members' capital invested in the business.

When my husband and I got married we chose (chose) to go camping for our honeymoon. We grabbed our tent and gear and headed off into Keji in early June for a little getaway. I remember long lazy days of bike rides, kayak trips, and reading a book in the sunshine.
Fast forward a few years and we haven't been camping for the last four years because every summer I have been either very pregnant or with a child of less than a year old. I know lots of people do it, but I couldn't even bring myself to consider it. The thought of planning and having everything we would need was overwhelming.
Now that Miss M is close to four and Mr M is close to two we decided it was time to give it a shot. We booked two nights into a family campground in the Annapolis Valley, packed our car and roof box to the brim and headed off.
In hindsight I will say it was a success; however if you asked me in the middle of the night as I shivered uncontrollably on the air mattress and begged the hours on the clock to move faster, I would have given you a different story. The upside is that the children slept great (after many post-bedtime giggles at sleeping in the same space together for the first time).
In the morning we heard rain was coming so we packed up quickly and cut our trip short. We spent the (sunny) day mostly at the campground (with a quick visit to a friend's local farm). Later a friend we'd run into at the campground told us that it started to POUR that evening and went on for the next day so I'm glad we made the decision we did.
So will we do it again? Perhaps next year...while it was fun, it was still more work than we had anticipated, and obsessing over the forecast for rain is stressful (especially in Nova Scotia). We aren't confident about our tent's waterproof-ness and aren't really interested in testing that out. :-)
For our last mini vacation this summer we're going to try our inaugural Airbnb experience at an oceanfront property on the South Shore. Here's hoping the beds are warmer than the ones in the tent!
But don't you be afraid! In this month's Family Matters column I gather up some advice from the experts about camping success with kids and I'm sure you're much hardier than I am.

Recreational amberjack season to remain open through 2010
The Gulf of Mexico recreational greater amberjack harvest is not likely to exceed the 2010 allocation of 1,243,184 pounds whole weight by the end of the year.
The recreational fishing season will remain open through the end of the 2010. Gulf of Mexico greater amberjack are managed under regulations and quotas established by the Gulf of Mexico Fisheries Management Council and the NOAA Fisheries Service.
Regulations implementing Amendment 30A to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan established, in part, annual catch limits and accountability measures for greater amberjack, modified the rebuilding plan, and set commercial and recreational quotas. The recreational quota for 2010 was reduced from 1,368,000 to 1,243,184 pounds whole weight to account for a nine percent quota overage in 2009.
A greater amberjack update stock assessment is scheduled to be completed early in 2011 and will provide the information necessary to determine if overfishing is still occurring in the greater amberjack fishery.

Soy Oil
Soy oil is typically processed using a solvent extraction process.
Direct solvent extraction, referred to as "full" pressing or prepress-solvent extraction, can separate oil from soybeans and is the most widely used method. However, mechanical extraction is often preferred by small extraction plants to remove the oil from soybeans.
Soy oil is one of several lipid sources used in aquafeeds today.
Soy oil is often blended with fish oil to provide a suitable combination of lipid and fatty acids, and as a means to limit the requirement for fish oil that is in limited supply.
New soy oil products are being researched that may one day provide the fatty acid needs that are now met by fish oil.

The 2018 Cadillac CTS-V super sedan is powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine SAE-certified at 640 horsepower (477 kW) and 630 lb-ft of torque (855 Nm). The car is capable of 0-60 performance in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph.
The supercharged V8 engine makes more power more efficiently than the previous Cadillac supercharged engine. It employs a more-efficient, more-compact 1.7L supercharger and matches it with direct injection and Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation).
The supercharger's rotors are smaller in diameter than the previous supercharged engine, allowing higher maximum rpm – and quicker "spin up" that enables power-enhancing boost to be generated earlier in the rpm band. That boost is achieved more efficiently via a more direct discharge port that creates less turbulence, reducing heat and speeding airflow into the engine.
The Cadillac supercharged engine also has several unique features designed to support its high output and the greater cylinder pressures created by forced induction, including Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads that are stronger and handle heat better than conventional aluminum heads, and lightweight titanium intake valves.
The paddle-shift eight-speed automatic, which offers full manual control via steering wheel paddles, is tuned for world-class shift-response times. Smaller steps between gears keep the engine within the optimum range of the rpm band, making the most of the output of the supercharged engine for exhilarating performance and greater efficiency.
Performance Algorithm Shifting delivers shift performance that rivals the dual-clutch/semi-automatic transmissions found in many luxury performance sedans but with the smoothness and refinement that come with a conventional automatic fitted with a torque converter.

Port Talbot English

|Language codes
Port Talbot English (PTE) is a variety of Welsh English spoken in Port Talbot, generally by the working class.[1]
Phonetics and phonology[edit]
Consonants in Port Talbot English generally follow those of Received Pronunciation. Some phonological characteristics of consonants specific to PTE include:
- Consonants can be geminated by any preceding vowel except long non-close vowels, which is most noticeable for fortis plosives and when they are in intervocalic positions. For instance, the plosives in these pairs are lengthened: lob–lobby, shunt–shunting and sit–city. In clusters, the first of any fortis elements is selected: /t/ in shunting or /s/ in nasty or simply the first consonant when there is no fortis element, as in lovely in which /v/ is lengthened.[2].
- The voiceless stops /p, t, k/ have considerable strong aspiration [pʰʰ, tʰʰ, kʰʰ], often as a weak affricate [pɸ, ts, kx]. That is especially for the case of /t/.[1]
- T-glottalization is uncommon but may occur word-finally.[1]
- H-dropping also often occurs.[1]
- /tr, dr/ are postalveolar affricates [t̠ɹ̠̊˔, d̠ɹ̠˔], as in RP.[1]
- /r/ is more often a tap [ɾ] than an approximant [ɹ].[1]
- /l/ is always clear [l].[1]
- Consonants from Welsh such as [ɬ] and [χ] are encountered in local Welsh placenames.[1][3]
- Unstressed long vowels tend to be shortened, as seen in free wheel [fri ˈwiːl].[2]
- Sometimes, under the same environment as geminating consonants, short vowels can be lengthened as in casserole [ˈkaːsəroːl].[2]
- The HAPPY vowel is tense, but unlike Received Pronunciation, it is long [iː], as in the FLEECE vowel (see Happy tensing).[5]
- Vowels corresponding to unstressed /ɪ/ in RP are as follows:[5]
- /ɪ/ in the inflectional suffixes -ed and -es;
- /ə/ in the suffix -est;
- /iː/ in prefixes like anti- and poly-.
- There is no contrastive NEAR vowel. Depending on word, it is replaced by either FLEECE (in polysyllables), a disyllabic sequence of FLEECE and COMMA /iːə/ (in monosyllables) and a monosyllabic sequence /jøː/ when word initial (including hear and here, where the /h/ is generally dropped).[5]
- As in many other southern Welsh accents, the NURSE vowel is rounded and fronted to [øː]. However, a small minority of speakers realise it as [əɾ ~ əɹ].[6]
- The horse–hoarse merger is absent in PTE, hence the words horse /ɒː/ and hoarse /oː/ are kept distinct. /oː/ is found in fortress and important, where the horse vowel may be found in other dialects that keep the distinction.[7]
- /ə/ is open-mid [ɜ] in stressed positions. When unstressed, it may be slightly raised to mid [ə].[8]
- The THOUGHT vowel is mainly /ɒː/. Exceptions are before /l/ and /st/, as in all or exhaust, as well as the word saucepan, where it is replaced by the LOT vowel /ɒ/. However long /ɒː/ does appear before the cluster /ld/ and the word palsy.[5]
- The trap–bath split is nearly absent, although the word bath along with path, laugh and its derivatives, ghastly and last(ly) have a long PALM /aː/, yet just like in Northern England, the remainder of BATH words are short /a/.[5]
- The TRAP words bad, bag and man are often found with long /aː/.[5]
Diphthongs of PTE are /ɪʊ, eɪ, oʊ, ʌɪ, ʌʊ, ɒɪ/. PRICE words are mostly pronounced with /ʌɪ/, but there also exists a marginal /aɪ/ which appears in a small number of words, such as Dai and aye.[9]
PTE, like Welsh dialects such as Abercraf English, has preserved several diphthong–monophthong distinctions that other varieties have not. They include:
- A distinction between /ɪʊ/ and /uː/, corresponding to the GOOSE vowel in other dialects. Thus the pairs blue/blew and grue/grew are not homophones.[9]
- When a word is spelt with an ⟨o⟩, the corresponding vowel is /uː/. It also occurs in the words insurance and surety.
- The spellings ⟨u⟩, ⟨ue⟩ and ⟨ui⟩ following ⟨r⟩ are typically pronounced /uː/.
- /uː/ can also be found in the word blue, and the sequence ⟨luC⟩, such as flute, lunatic and Pluto
- /ɪʊ/ is found otherwise, such as crew or glue.
- The sequence /juː/ in most dialects will be rendered as /jɪʊ/ in word-initial position and after ⟨y⟩, such as use and youth. You and its derivatives can be pronounced either as /jɪʊ/ or /ɪʊ/. /ɪʊ/ is otherwise found for all other positions.[9]
- Another distinction for the FACE and GOAT lexical sets, thus the minimal pairs pain/pane and toe/tow (see Long mid mergers). They are generally diphthongised as /eɪ/ and /oʊ/ when the spelling contains ⟨i⟩/⟨y⟩ and ⟨u⟩/⟨w⟩ respectively and monophthongised as /eː/ and /oː/ elsewhere. However, these are subject to several exceptions:[10]
- The FACE vowel is always diphthong word-finally or preceding a vowel. It is further seen in the suffix sequence ⟨-atiV⟩, thus café, mosaic and patience are always /eɪ/. It is usually a diphthong before a nasal (strange and came), however proper names do have a monophthong (Cambridge and James).
- The FACE is a monophthong in bait, gait, gaiter, Jamaica, raisin, traipse and waist.
- Before a single ⟨l⟩, the GOAT is always diphthongal, such as coal or gold. The spelling ⟨oll⟩ is diphthongal in roll, stroll and its derivatives, yet monophthongal elsewhere.
- GOAT is monophthongal in (al)though, and morpheme-final -ow (elbow and window).
- Own as a possessive adjective (such as your own) is monophthongal.[5]
Elision and assimilation[edit]
- {IPA|/t, d/}}, at the end of a morpheme or word, are very commonly elided: not good and handbag /ˈhambaɡ/, the latter with the assimilation of the nasal with the b.[8]
- The indefinite article an (before a vowel) may be reduced to a, as in a apple /ə ˈapəl/.[1]
- The schwa /ə/ is often elided although but it is also very common to retain it.[8]
- The sequence co(-)op, like in the rest of South Wales, is characteristically pronounced like cop /kɒp/.[8]
- Elisions in the phrases isn't it? /ˈɪn ɪt/, never mind /ˈnɛː ˈmʌɪn/ and there you are /ˈdɛː ˈwaː/ are very common.[8]
- Why + negative do, such as why don't, why doesn't or why didn't is also very commonly elided to /ˈwʌɪn/.[8]
Phonemic incidence[edit]
- Like in most of Northern England and the Midlands, tooth is pronounced with the FOOT vowel, as in /tʊθ/.[5]
- Mauve is pronounced with./ɒː/, instead of /oː/ or /oʊ/.[5]
- Motor is pronounced /ˈmoːtoː/, and the strong form of their is pronounced /ˈðeɪə/.[5]
- In an address, girl and man are pronounced with the STRUT vowel /ə/.[5]
The following features apply for only some speakers:[8]
- Daunt and jaunt may be pronounced with /a/.
- Hose and whole may be pronounced with /uː/ and area with /eː/.
- Want may be pronounced with /ə/, instead of /ɒ/.
- Intonation in PTE is similar to Abercraf English. One prominent pattern is that the main pitch movement is not necessarily confined to the stressed syllable but can be spread further, to the end of the word.[2]
- Like in other Welsh accents, PTE tends to avoid having double stress patterns, making words such as Bridgend or icecream lose their secondary stress.[8]
- Ain't commonly used as a negation.[11]
- The Northern Subject Rule is used in present-tense verb forms and extends to personal pronouns: I goes to work, the birds sings and you says.[11]
- Certain words have grammatical meaning unique to PTE, including after meaning 'later' and never as 'didn't'.[11]
- Double negatives occur, much like in other vernacular English dialects.[11]
- The prepositions on, by and for are used idiomatically, as is charecteristic for South Wales accent: by here/there. Phrasal examples include what is on this? (what's the matter with this), there's times on him/her (he/she is in a temper), what's the time by you (what's an appropriate time for you), you can't go by him/her (you can:t depend on him/her) and there's gratitude for you (you're appreciated).[12]
- ashman — bin man, dustman[12]
- cam — a stride[11]
- crachach — used everywhere in Wales; a derogatory term used to refer to members of the Establishment in the country.[13][14] It can simply refer to 'posh people'.[11]
- lose — to miss (e.g. a bus)[11]
- poin — to pester, to nag (from Welsh poeni)[11]
- troughing — guttering[12]
- venter — to bet (from Welsh fentro, a mutated form of mentro)[11]
Examples of commonly-used idiomatic phrases in PTE:[12]
- burnt to glory — burnt to the point of ashes[12]
- gone home — said when a piece of clothing has worn out[12]
- possible if — in PTE it specifically means 'surely it's not that case that...'[12]
- sure to be — a phrase that represents 'certainly' or 'without a doubt'[12]

Trellising Tips/
|Homemade tomato trellises.
Tomato Trellis: The "Stake-A-Cage"
The Old World Garden Farms' website has a great set of comprehensive instructions for building a tomato "Stake-A-Cage" trellis system for tomatoes and peppers. The simple plans involve nothing more than chicken wire, wooden stakes, and fencing nails. Each trellis will run you about $2 if you have to buy materials—but at Better Farm we had no problem tracking down some chicken wire and wood scraps to make the whole thing. Click here for full instructions. Here are a few shots of our finished Stake-A-Cages:
Other Simple Trellis Ideas
The basic premis of trellises couldn't be simpler: give viney, climbing plants something to grow onto. That can mean old dog gates, bed frames, ladders, poles, fencing, chicken wire, and many other items fair game for upcycling into trellises. Here are a few we're employing at Better Farm:
|Asparagus beans climb a baby gate turned sideways.
|A kiwi vine climbs the garden fence at Better Farm.
|Loofah sponges make their way across a raised bed and up a wooden post.
|Pole beans make their way along a bunk bed frame.

(PRWEB) November 12, 2011
With Japan?s latest post-war dollar posing an underlying threat to its export-led economy high, the nation intervened in currency markets to weaken the yen for the first time since August, according to InvestTechFX. This could be in response to the fears and concerns about the global economy stirred by Euro zone debt that lead investors to seek refuge from volatile markets. Due to worries over Tokyo?s impact on Japan?s economic recovery, it has faced domestic pressure to act on the Yen raising questions from their global trade partners ahead of the G20 meeting in France, as Forex ECN InvestTechFX further explains.
After hitting a fresh post-war low of 75.32 Yen, FX trading experts at InvestTechFX explain that the USD touched 79.53, a surge of around 5% that also saw the Euro rising to 111.57 Yen from 107.06 Yen. In the wake of the move, Japan's Nikkei index rose by over 0.50% and the Yen settled at 78.13 to the dollar. In recent weeks, Japanese officials stepped up intervention rhetoric in an attempt to verbally weaken the unit, but the Yen just continued to strengthen and the issue is going to be addressed at the Group of 20 meeting where the leaders of industrialized and emerging economies will be present in Cannes, France. InvestTechFX?s online Forex trading experts suggest that the strong Yen which makes Japanese goods less competitive and erodes the repatriated profits of exporters will force Japan to allow greater flexibility in the value of the Yuan amid pressure from the United States and China.
Julian Jessop of research firm Capital Economics said that this is likely to have a limited long-term impact on rates and will not be enough to turn the tide and help Japan recover from the tsunami and the March 11 earthquake. The government intervened the fourth time since September 2010 to stem the currency rise and spend 4.5 trillion yen in August 2011.

KRISTEN STEWART, who kept strictly to herself right after her cheating scandal, was finally forced to hire a personal bodyguard/driver after crazed "Twi-Hard" fans physically attacked her for two-timing lover boy ROBERT PATTINSON!
"The first attack came when she was exiting an office building in the San Fernando Valley – two young women came running at her, screaming that she was a 'cheating villainess' and 'lying b****,'" said a source close to the star.
"Kristen, who was alone, made a beeline for her car, jumped in and slammed the door shut.
"But these vicious girls grabbed the door handles and began rocking the car back and forth. Kristen burst into tears, hit the accelerator and sped away.
"But the attack really shook her up!
"That's when she hired her bodyguard/driver – who's got orders to pull right up to the door of wherever she's exiting so she can hop in fast!"

Skin barnacles are noncancerous lesions on the skin, explains About.com. The clinical name for skin barnacles is seborrheic keratoses. Skin barnacles vary in size from slightly raised areas in the skin to large dark lumps.
Skin barnacles do not rise from a deep layer of skin, which gives it the appearance of the mass being stuck onto the skin, states About.com. Skin barnacles do not contain the human papilloma virus. Skin barnacles may have a rugged or smooth surface with tiny bumps. Skin barnacles sometimes itch and will bleed once irritated.
Liquid nitrogen and shaving remove skin barnacles, according to About.com. Liquid nitrogen freezes cells in a skin barnacle while leaving the foundation whole. A blister forms over the broken skin and heals itself, but a flat scar that is lighter or darker than the skin is the typical result. A flexible razor blade also removes the top layer of the skin barnacles with similar results as liquid nitrogen, but care should be taken not to create a crater in the skin. Silver nitrate or aluminum chloride is used to stop the wound from bleeding.
Skin barnacles look similar to melanoma, and a doctor should always be consulted about any raises in the skin, advises About.com.

What a powerful question! Many of us grow up, trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. We look to the outside and often select to settle for something that sounds good, maybe influenced by our parents, the money attached, or the prestige of a specific field. We keep friend who don't share commonalities, simply because we've known them "forever". We get frustrated when things don't seem to quite line up in our lives.
Imagine for once what it would be like to go inwards. Go deeper. Focus on your strengths, listen to your inner voice, do what you love for a living, seek soul nourishing friendships, live somewhere that inspires you everyday.
Take a deep breath.
How does it feel?
If you are constantly feeling frustrated or stuck and wondering if life has dealt you a shitty hand. I encourage you to go within. What are your unique gifts/talents that you can share with the world? What's keeping you from the life you desire to live? How can you show up as your authentic self?
What does life want from you?
Take some time throughout this week to meditate on that question. The answer may just surprise you.

Movie News & Reviews
'Moonlight' director says growing up in Miami, 'Life was heavy,' but it's a 'beautiful place'
Barry Jenkins had to leave Miami before he could fall in love with it. Born at Jackson Memorial Hospital in 1979 and raised in Liberty City, he graduated from Northwestern High School, where he played football alongside two future NFL stars, ran track and earned grades good enough to attend Florida State University on a scholarship.
His original plan was to major in English and creative writing. But during his junior year, on a fateful whim, he enrolled in FSU's prestigious College of Motion Picture Arts school.
"I had always liked movies, but I never in a million years considered making them," Jenkins, 37, says. "That was something that just didn't seem possible to me."
READ MORE: 'Moonlight' writers: 'We're two boys from Liberty City representing the 305'
Although he wasn't a hardcore film buff as a teenager, Jenkins has strong memories of watching "Die Hard" and "School Daze" repeatedly on TV and going to the movies. "I remember taking the bus to the Omni and feeling really comfortable in the air conditioning watching 'Coming to America' or 'The Color Purple.' The movie theater was just this place that felt really good. They had this merry-go-round inside the mall that made it look like the Taj Mahal to me."
Four days after graduating from FSU, Jenkins moved to Los Angeles to pursue a filmmaking career. He spent two years working as a production assistant on various projects, then quit to concentrate on his own movies. His first feature, 2008's "Medicine for Melancholy," was shot for $13,000 in San Francisco, where Jenkins was living. The movie, inspired by Jenkins' recent break-up with his girlfriend, followed a young couple over the course of 24 hours after a drunken one-night stand.
"Medicine for Melancholy" was chosen as one of the best movies of the year by The New York Times. Then Andrew Hevia, a fellow Miamian also living in San Francisco, invited Jenkins to return home and direct a short film in 2011 for the seventh edition of the Borscht Film Festival, which Hevia co-founded.
The resulting 20-minute "Chlorophyl," an ode to the new, arts-friendly Miami that had emerged since Jenkins moved away, didn't fare that well on the festival circuit. But during his stint with Borscht, Jenkins met playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. The two men had a lot in common — they had grown up within blocks from each other and both had mothers who struggled with drugs — and started talking about adapting McCraney's autobiographical play "In Midnight Black Boys Look Blue" into a film.
When McCraney won a $625,000 MacArthur Fellowship grant in 2013 to further his theater career, he gave Jenkins his blessing to write and direct the movie on his own. "Moonlight," which was shot in Miami last fall using a combination of professional actors and locals, tells the story of Chiron, a gay young man living in Liberty City with his crack-addicted mother (Naomie Harris), from childhood to adult over the course of three eras, the 1990s, the 2000s and the present-day.
The movie, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September, also screened at festivals in Toronto and New York before opening in theaters in October. The critical praise that has greeted the movie has catapulted Jenkins onto Oscar prognosticators' short lists for a Best Director Academy Award nomination next year.
But the film — an unexpectedly gentle, lyrical portrayal of emotional alienation and the importance of human connection during our formative years — is also a love letter to Miami, urban blight and all.
"Miami felt really small to me when I was a kid," Jenkins says. "You couldn't really leave the neighborhood — the city was so compartmentalized — and because of the way I grew up, I don't remember it as a happy place. But it wasn't like 'Boyz n the Hood' either. There weren't as many guns on the street as there are now. It didn't feel like a dark place, even though there were a lot of dark things going on around us.
"People have been talking about how the visuals in 'Moonlight' are so bright and colorful and beautiful, and yet the story is so heavy. That's how I think about growing up in Miami: Life was very heavy, but it was still a beautiful, inspiring place. And I fell back in love with Miami during the process of making this movie. The support from the community was so strong. We tried to cast as many local people as possible, for budgetary reasons and also because I wanted the voice of the city in the film.
"When we shot at night, parents would come out and tell me 'We don't usually let our kids out after dark, because there are no street lights, but since you all got your movie lights, it's a lot safer.' Kids would come on the set and sit at the video monitors and watch me work and point at me and tell each other 'He grew up here!' I could tell from their faces that seeing me — this black dude walking around all this machinery, calling action — was an eye-opening experience.
"It was just as eye-opening for me, because I realized at that moment that maybe if I had seen somebody walking around a movie set like this in my neighborhood when I was a kid, I would have gotten to filmmaking a lot sooner."

There are a number of reasons to be grateful for Kathy Hochul's victory, in a special election Tuesday, in New York's twenty-sixth congressional district. It was a reminder that politics can, at times, be about politics, and not, say, about politicians using pictures of themselves half-dressed to try to get an affair started on Craigslist. (That is how there came to be an empty seat and a special election.) The decisive issue was Congressman Paul Ryan's budget plan, and in particular whether Medicare was something worth paying and maybe even fighting for. The number of people in Hochul's district who thought so was a surprise to the Republicans, who were used to winning there.
For an election that turned on health-care policy, it was hardly boring: in addition to the Republican, Jane Corwin—can we see more races with two women?—there was a Tea Party candidate, Jack Davis, who kept getting angry, in a libertarian sort of way. (He said that he wouldn't take part in a debate because "when I sit next to liars it actually makes my skin crawl.") But he was no Ron Paul; not half so pleasant. (Nor is it even certain that he was a spoiler—see Slate's statistical analysis.) Joe Biden got involved, as did a mob of operatives on both sides. Karl Rove came bearing money from his group, American Crossroads, to pay for ads for Corwin that, in the end, couldn't change what people knew about the role that Medicare plays in their lives and those of their relatives. People in NY-26 just didn't like Ryan's budget plan, and that is why it alarmed Republicans when Kathy Hochul won. The election was called a referendum, a bellwether, and, in a Times headline, a "rebuke."
Sarah Palin was watching a different vote tally Tuesday night—on "Dancing With the Stars." Her daughter wasn't one of the dancers; Palin was a special audience guest, taking a break from complaining that President Obama didn't listen to everything Netanyahu said. I am sorry that I missed the show, because my favorite Pittsburgh Steeler, Hines Ward, and his partner, Kym Johnson, were the winners. (He waved a Terrible Towel while dancing the Samba.) According to CBS, after watching Ward, "Sarah Palin, also in the audience, seemed less than convinced"—but he shouldn't mind her. The rest of us need to, though: closing one's eyes, spinning around three times, and clapping will not make her go away, even if it's a move that would look good while dancing with a star. Real Clear Politics reported that she's had a feature-length film made—it's meant to be biographical, perhaps in the sense of being based on a true story. It's called "Undefeated," and will première in Iowa in June. (That's eight months before the caucuses.)
According to Real Clear Politics, the filmmaker, Stephen Bannon, opens with "a fast-paced sequence of clips showing some of the prominent celebrities who have used sexist, derogatory and generally vicious language to describe her":
Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Damon, Bill Maher, David Letterman, and Howard Stern all have brief cameos before comedian Louis C.K. goes off on a particularly ugly anti-Palin riff….
Bannon intends to release two versions of the film. An unrated edition will contain some obscene anti-Palin language and imagery, while the other is targeted to a general audience and will seek a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America.
Will she also talk about Medicare? Or is politics, for her, purely personal?

I would say that the issue is more that if something arose in the future (e.g. when implementing IronPython 3 or as some sort of IronPython-specific enhancement) that needed DLR changes, that would previously have been (I assume) possible, and is now (again, I assume) difficult. I would guess that this puts IronPython in a similar situation (in this respect) to Jython (although since Java is open-source, I suppose there is the possibility of pushing upstream there). I don't know enough about the way that IronPython and the DLR interact to know how likely it is that changes like this would be needed. There doesn't seem to be a CPython equivalent, unless you consider that CPython is unable to change the instruction sets that the CPython interpreter runs on (which is stretching the similarity really).

Wedding Ceremony Singer Sydney
It's your wedding day.
You're waiting to walk down the aisle. The first few chords of your song begin and you take the first steps towards your partner.
Halfway there and you realise you're floating on the notes of a beautiful voice accompanied by a string quartet. The songs you and your partner have chosen personalise the ceremony and create wonderful memories for you and your family and friends.
This is a moment that will be held close to your heart for many years to come.
Live music expertly played by professional musicians guarantees that the timing is perfect and the setting is complete.
About Me
I love singing and have had the pleasure to perform at hundreds of beautiful wedding ceremonies here in Sydney, and overseas in London while I lived there in 2005.
I began formal training in singing when I was 12, and in 2004 I completed a B.Mus.St at Sydney Conservatorium of Music, studying Classical Art Song and Opera with renowned Australian Soprano Jane Edwards.
In 2008 I had the good fortune to sing backing vocals for the amazing Michael Buble on his Australian tour. As well as classical, I currently perform pop, soul and jazz with my band (previously called SoulArte) at various events around Sydney and NSW.
This broad musical background and experience means I can offer a wide variety of music to suit your wedding style and music taste. I really love what I do and am always keen to learn new songs that reflect the story behind every couple I meet.

If auto shows are about dreams, then the Milner AirCar fits right in. Tucked away in the back basement of the Javits Convention Center with the trucks and SUVs at the New York International Auto Show is the latest iteration in a long line of dreams: the flying car.
This one is from Milner Motors. It's a narrow body car with a folding wing and a pair of 150-hp pusher fans in back. As co-founder James Milner describes it, "We believe that a truly clean-sheet approach to vehicle design can produce commercially viable vehicles that respond to today's environmental and energy needs in a way never before possible."
As envisioned, you'd drive from your house to the airport (using a 40-hp terrestrial engine) with the 28-foot wing folded over the top of the AirCar, making a package about 7 feet wide and 7 feet high – as wide as a Hummer and taller, so you better have a tall garage. At the airport, you lock the wings into, take off, fly to your destination airport, and drive the last few miles.
That's the dream of the company, which is based in Vancouver, Wash., and Bethesda, Md. Father Jim Milner is a former United Airlines pilot and entrepreneur; son Chris Milner is an engineer with background in information technologies and management consulting. The vehicle at the show might be described as halfway to reality: It can be driven, just not flown.
Milner Motors is also working on a hybrid-electric car based on the same vehicle chassis. Can they succeed? Many have dreamed of a flying car and it's been a staple of magazine covers since World War II; the Popular Mechanics cover here is from 1951. So far, the success of the flying car has been limited to the movies.

My spring/summer shoe picks from (from top left clockwise): Christian Dior, Roger Vivier, Giuseppe Zanotti, Burberry and Rupert Sanderson.
The spring/summer collections have started to roll into stores, but what has really got me excited are the shoes. This season is perfect for accessories lovers beacuse everything is bold, bright and fabulous. That being said, there is loads to choose from so I thought it was time to divulge the top 5 shoe styles you need to be investing in, along with my favourite picks. Excitement and waiting lists lie ahead…
1. Retro
Thanks to Miuccia Prada the 1950s are back, so that means picking a shoe that has a dose of 1950s glam without looking too costumey. I love Prada's car shoes but after one season they will be passe, so invest in a retro-inspired style such as pointy toe pumps or these T-bar sandals from (HK$8,800) Roger Vivier.
2. Tribal
African beats were heard all over the catwalk, with ethnic embellishments ranging from beads and batik to embroidery and ikat. Always remember less is more so go for styles that have fun yet subtle accents such as Burberry's black platform sandals (HK$7,200).
3. Prints
Spring is definitely a season of prints – on the catwalks we saw everything from humble vegetables to tropical fish decorating clothing. Florals are a tried-and-tested favourite as seen on these Giuseppe Zanotti pumps while graphic stripes add some fun to your look (just don't match them with a sailor top!)
4. Colour
Everyone has gone gaga for neon as well as hot shades of red, blue, fuschia and yellow. Make it more modern but opting for styles with colour blocks or patches of different fabric, as see on the Portafino suede sandals (HK$9,800) by Christian Dior.
5. Clean lines
Minimalism is old news but this spring it takes on a futuristic slant. It's all about clean, sharp shapes and metallic colours such as silver or gold. I am in love with Rupert Sanderson's Sagana heels (HK$7,580) with their graphic cut outs.

The way you cook potatoes for potato salad can make or break this summer classic. Boil them too long and you may get a mushy salad with the texture of mashed potatoes. Skimp on the cooking and your potatoes can turn out as crisp as celery. A few simple steps will help you boil potatoes the right way so your salad is a winner every time.
Choose the Right Potato
Your salad will not turn out right if you start with the wrong type of potato. Russet potatoes are great for baking and mashing, but they are not ideal for potato salad due to their high starch content. Instead choose a waxy variety such as Yukon golds, red bliss or fingerling potatoes.
Dice the potatoes into large, uniform pieces. Uneven sizes will cook at different rates, which makes for inconsistent texture. Place the potatoes into a large pot with a heavy bottom and add just enough cold water to cover them. Generously salt the water; if you wait until you dress the salad to add salt, the potatoes will lack flavor.
Place the pot on medium heat and cover. Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat immediately. Simmer the potatoes without the lid until they are soft enough to be pierced with a fork. Drain in a colander and shock in ice water to stop the cooking process. Once the potatoes have cooled completely you can add the other ingredients, or refrigerate them overnight and dress the next day.
To Peel or Not to Peel
Although classic potato salad calls for peeled potatoes, you can also go rustic by leaving the skins on. Potato skins have fiber and additional nutrients not in the flesh alone. If you choose to peel your potatoes, there are two options. You can peel them prior to dicing, or boil them with the skins on and use a paper towel to gently rub the skin off once the potatoes have cooled.

How often do you take notice of your skin? Every day, we expose our skin to so many harmful substances that, in many cases, lead to skin darkening. In some cases, skin is damaged from long-term acne, or skin diseases. Melanin, also known as a natural skin color agent, can become irritated and if there's an increase of melanin, you'll start to notice dark spotting occur. By performing monthly self-examinations, you'll be able to tell if there are any noticeable changes to you skin. If you are interested in lighten facial spots, here are a few noteworthy tips to consider.
Four tips to Lighten Facial Spots
Tip: Apply cream constantly and generously
photo credit: FreeDigitalPhotos.net
How often do you apply face cream? Morning? Night? Both? Perhaps, constantly through out the day? Or, maybe never? For those that NEVER use a cream, consider looking into a lotion ideal for your skin type. If you do apply a cream, think when you do apply and how often. While the SPF number is an important concern also consider how much and how often cream is applied. The more consistent you are with applications, the better changes of facial spots not appearing. Many department stores have well-educated and reputable employees to provide genuine advice and allow you to product test when making a decision. Pay attention to the ingredients, especially one ingredient called hydroquinone. This is key to providing powerful skin-lightening results.
Tip: Exfoliate to keep skin young and natural
Using a generous scrub to manually remove any residue and dead skin cells is a beautiful start to help fade spots. As mentioned above, determine your skin type so you can purchase the best product to meet your needs. If you opt for pocket friendly creams look for products with acids (such as those found in fruits). Creams with an alpha-hydroxy acid can help fade spots and prepare the skin for deeper penetration of active ingredients. A great place to start searching is at your local drug store or organic shop to browse through products fit for all skin types.
Tip: Home Remedy Alternatives
If you like the natural organic route, consider the below home remedies proven to reduce dark spots. Before applying any of the below remedies, make sure your face is cleansed and washed leaving skin bare.
- Lemon Juice is a bleach that helps fade away dark spots. At night, squeeze fresh lemon juice into a cotton ball and apply evenly onto the troubled areas. Allow the juice to air dry for up to ten minutes before applying an oil-free moisturizer. For those with sensitive skin, avoid using this remedy heavily as your skin may dry out. Do not go outside with the treatment left on the skin, as sunlight will react with the juice and cause skin to darken.
- Honey Yogurt Masks are quite easy. Whisk together 1/4th cup plain yogurt with active cultures and 1 tbsp. fresh-squeezed lemon juice together until completely combined. Apply the mask carefully and avoid skin surrounding the eyes. Place a towel around your shoulders and lay back for about 15-20 minutes to allow the mask to settle in and work. Once the mask time is complete, carefully walk over to a sink to tenderly wash the mask off with a soft washcloth. Rise four to six times before applying a night cream, moisturizer or sunscreen as needed. For normal skin, applying the mask three to four times a week is safe and should produce gradual results. Oily skin individuals are encouraged to use this mask once a week.
- Papaya is a great natural remedy as this tropical fruit contains papain, an enzyme that exfoliates the skin. Evenly rub raw papaya directly onto skin making sure to avoid skin surrounding the eyes and leave on for 5-10 minutes. Papaya is also found in pre-packaged masks found at local drugstores if you're not able to find the fruit or have access to papayas.
- Aloe Vera is mainly known for treating burns and scrapes and we have underestimated the maximum potential of this plant. Over time, aloe vera can naturally and gently heel dark facial spots. You can apply the gel found inside an aloe stem directly onto the skin to rejuvenate skin cells. As new skin cells begin to grow, old cells begin to die off. When trying to lighten dark facial skin on your face, you can mix aloe gel with a cream to keep any spots from progressing. Blend together three tablespoons of aloe vera juice, one tablespoon aloe vera gel and two drops of your favorite essential oil like Lavender. Spread the mix proportionally on your skin with your finger or a cotton ball. Lie down and leave the mask untouched for 5-10 minutes. Once the mask process has finished, wash face gently with a warm washcloth and pat with a clean dry towel.
Keep in mind vitamins like vitamin C; vitamin A, and vitamin B are considered safe pigment reducers.
Tip: Professional Advise
If you find yourself struggling with home skin lightening remedies, try looking into a dermatologist recommended by your family practitioner or OBGYN. You might also consider receiving a referral for a consultation with a plastic surgeon as they can provide additional in-depth informative consultation where you can determine what you're looking and to review sample before and after photos as well as dive into pricing. After meeting with the two recommended professionals, seriously think about the benefits of each to decide which procedure would make most sense.
Skin lightening is becoming an increasingly popular worldwide for both men and women but how you decide to take care of the issue is a personal decision. Keep in mind to do your research regarding the safety of skin lightening and never feel pressured to use products that do not sit well with you.
