What is sail training?
"For some, sail training offers first time successes. For others, it is a much needed refresher course in life when we find ourselves, for instance, knocking hats off passerby's or staring too long at funeral processions -- which Herman Melville describes as "high time to get to sea" in Moby Dick. For all, sail training offers an absolutely unique experience." "
In the United States and Canada, there are many sail training vessels which serve as laboratories and classrooms at sea. College and high school students regularly embark on semester-long voyages of offshore discovery while younger children explore local waters on grade school field trips. Water, sediment and biological sampling provide students with tangible lessons in the marine environment as they themselves physically encounter the effect of wind and wave. Formal study aboard a ship is frequently referred to as sea education.
Historic vessels, or their reproductions, function as interpretive museum exhibits, conducting voyages of outreach to the public. Most North Americans can trace their ancestors' arrival by ship. The last sailing vessel to regularly carry immigrants to America still plies New England waters, now a sailing school vessel, extending her venerable history of more than one hundred years service -- from fishing the Grand Banks to Arctic exploration to African packet. There are reproductions and restorations of ships representative of each of America's naval conflicts. We may board important sailing ships of the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and some which played their part in the World Wars. We may experience life at sea aboard Grand Banks fishing schooners, mackerel seiners, oyster boats and whalers. Cargo ships. Pilot boats. Merchant vessels. Immigrant ships. Those pressed into the slave trade. There is not a chapter of our history which does not have a waterborne link. The smell of pine tar and manila, the sounds of a working ship, the view of a whale-spotted horizon from the top of the rig, the motion of a rolling deck -- history is a compelling study of this physical context.
Other North American ships sail ambassadorial missions for the public they serve, issuing invitations
of hospitality and promoting opportunities for economic development. Others sail to save the environment. Or to promote international relations through citizen diplomacy, as did a Soviet-American crew sailing past the final sputters of the Cold War. These vessels draw our attention and focus us on their missions because sailing ships are powerful icons, symbolizing strength, beauty and harmony wherever they go. Those who sail know the ocean to be that which connects us to foreign lands -- not a boundary which separates us.
Several American sail training ships serve as treatment centers for adjudicated youth while others provide exclusive corporate team building exercise or offshore adventure travel -- from coastal cruising with gourmet cooking to blue water voyaging. While the clientele could not be more different, these ships are all in the business of enrichment. As diverse an agenda as this may seem at first glance, these ships all provide sail training. The common denominator is that each uses the wind and sea to teach us something else. Sail training, like reading, is not a subject in and of itself. It is a means to an end. A medium. An environment. We at Tall Ships America often say that sail training is not learning to sail, it is learning from sailing. From the ship, from the sea and perhaps most importantly, from yourself.
A ship at sea has been described as a microcosm of the planet. Resources are finite, waste must be managed responsibly and success depends on one's ability to work as a team. One quickly learns that many hands lighten a load. In a similar way, so do good shipmates -- those who are focused, considerate, and good humored. There is no place on earth which better illuminates leadership qualities, nor marks the path so clearly toward achieving them. The rewards of a smoothly run ship are immediate, obvious and sweetly satisfying. As sailors have said for centuries, take care of your ship and she'll take care of you.
There is no better feeling in the world than coming off an early morning watch having watched the sun rise and helped to scrub everything down for the start of a new day. As you leave the ship in the hands of the next watch you realize how happy you are to see them -- and even happier to leave them to it - as you go below for the sort of breakfast you'd never eat ashore and a grateful climb into a narrow berth assuming any angle of heel. Adjusting to sleeping when you can is strangely easy, and you find yourself sleeping easily in your bunk no matter what the time of day or the weather (well, with the occasional notable exception!). You find yourself frequently aware of living completely in the moment, and you take great pride in accomplishing tasks and seeking new challenges for yourself.
Aboard a sail training vessel, as in life, our small piece is a critical part of the whole. The quality of work, and the spirit in which we do it, has a profound effect on the well-being of everyone else aboard. Leadership, paradoxically, is arrived at by learning to take direction. Becoming a team player. Pulling your share of the load. Being absolutely responsible. Dependable. And, learning to depend on the responsibility of others. For no matter what the particular mission of a ship might be, it is essential that she be safely navigated and handsomely attended.
This is true of the larger world, but in the larger world, the quality of our actions are not so immediately apparent. In our day to day lives, most of us do not have at hand accessible evidence of collisions we've safely avoided, environmental conditions we gained advantage from, or courses accurately steered no matter the conditions. Our actions seem at times to be in a vacuum and feedback is often clouded by other issues. It often takes years to measure the efficacy of our navigation and our ability to "hand, reef and steer" our lives. Nor do we often have the simple yet somehow completely thrilling affirmation of perfectly set sails in a stiff breeze and a ship "with a bone in her teeth." On a sail training vessel, it's right there. Right now.
For some, sail training offers first time successes. For others, it is a much needed refresher course in life when we find ourselves, for instance, knocking hats off passerby's or staring too long at funeral processions -- which Herman Melville describes as "high time to get to sea" in Moby Dick. For all, sail training offers an absolutely unique experience.
So no, we don't just teach sailing. Tall Ships America's member vessels and programs foster opportunities for intensive personal development -- intensive life experience in order to advance leadership development, an utter reverence for nature, a sense of time and place, an appreciation for history, and teamwork ability. Sail training really teaches the qualities of stewardship, resourcefulness, pride, humility, bravery, strength and grace. And we learn to sail, too.

- Race:
- Belgian GP2 round
James Calado won a closely-fought sprint race from pole position at Spa-Francorchamps, holding off Julian Leal by 0.4s and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs by 1.5s.
Calado led into the first corner but never managed to shake off Leal, who quickly passed Stephane Richelmi on the first lap to chase the ART. Quaife-Hobbs made a brilliant start from 10th on the grid and by lap two had also passed Richelmi, who went on to finish fourth ahead of Fabio Leimer. The Hilmer driver put on an impressive push in the final few laps to latch onto the battle for the lead but didn't quite have enough life left in his tyres to challenge Leal for second.
Further down the order there was plenty of contact and overtaking as Dani Clos tagged both Jolyon Palmer and Johnny Cecotto to move up to sixth place before being called in for a drive-through penalty. Palmer eventually took sixth after a strong drive from 15th on the grid, with Cecotto, who had been involved in several scraps throughout the race, in seventh.
Tom Dillmann took the final point in eighth, but controversially skipped the final chicane on the final lap as he came under pressure from Felipe Nasr. Nasr attempted a move around the outside forcing Dillmann, who was struggling with his tyres, to lock up and run wide on entry. He undoubtedly gained an advantage by skipping the second part of the chicane and may be investigated by the stewards after the race.
Saturday's race winner Sam Bird never got into the race and finished 14th after struggling towards the end of the race. However, he will have taken some solace in championship leader Stefano Coletti dropping out of the points in the final eight laps and plummeting down the order to eventually finish 23rd. Coletti has now failed to score at the last five rounds and his championship lead remains at five points over Nasr, while Leimer and Bird have both closed to within striking distance this weekend.

What Tsukasa is showing there is what he teaches (or his Father teaches ) the general public..
I really don't know Mr. Pomfret, or his skill level, so I won't say that would be the best defense against him.. But it is a good beginners tool to understand the basics about distance and reaction and wieght balance.. They are only tools..
They[bunkai] in no way display the myriad of possibilities that are contained within the Kata. Most are basic and obvious, they do not reveal that the Kata gives us direction and movement. "Tosh" would often say we don't do stances we do foot work. Back to the thread: Take time to look at the opening movement as offensive in a sense. Look for the grappling applications. I have become convinced that Uechi Ryu is all about Osai or Irimi to redirect and enter.

Optioned as a Film
Platinum Studios, Inc announced today that they are developing the sold out comic book series "The Weapon," and plan to bring it to the big screen. Scott Rosenberg, CEO of Platinum Studios and producer of Cowboys & Aliens, will act as producer on the film.
"The Weapon" is about a martial arts enthusiast, Tommy Zhou, that has discovered a means to create solid objects from light -- and invented a superhero persona to promote it, The Weapon! Not believing the legends his grandfather told him as a child, Zhou's inventions unsuspectingly make him the target of a millennia-old assassin cult that's convinced he's unlocked the ancient mystical techniques of the Order of Wu-Shi-'The Way of the Weapon.'
"We believe 'The Weapon' will be an attractive project for both international film financers and Hollywood producers," says Scott Rosenberg. "This property is one of those with enormous franchise potential."
Platinum Studios Inc.

Cowboys and Aliens: Blockbuster filmmaker Jon Favreau directs Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford in an event film for summer 2011 that crosses the classic Western with the alien-invasion movie in a blazingly original way. Joined by an arsenal of top moviemakers-Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci-he brings an all-new action thriller that will take audiences into the Old West, where a lone cowboy leads an uprising against a terror from beyond our world. PLOT: 1875. New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. The town of Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival. The screenplay for Cowboys & Aliens is by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman & Damon Lindelof and Mark Fergus & Hawk Ostby, from a screen story by Fergus & Ostby and Steve Oedekerk.

Wow - sorry to hear about the nightmare return journey, that was a long one! Thanks again for a lovely night - so glad you've shared the recipe for the pudds they were amazing!! The root mash was out of this world tooReplyDelete
"The dog drives him mad but he loves him really when he looks in his eyes." That's the most poignant line I ever read in a food blog. Thanks for the recipes. L xReplyDelete
I recognise TWO of the same plates as I have on that stack. Makes me feel almost as though I'd been there. No, that's only wishful thinking (about being there, not the plates). I read Clare's account and am sad to have missed the plates and sisters.ReplyDelete
Mise! You'll have to come to one! We'll tour west to you!xReplyDelete
Lisa, I know, finally some recipes!
Thanks Lucy!
Sticky toffee pudding cakes sound divine. Definitely trying that one soon! Transport/computer nightmare though! Bad job. xReplyDelete
What a mad adventure you had!! At least you had the doggies and your sis with you, I know how eerie Limerick Junction can feel. 'The pressures of being a signal man...' LOL. I guess it's pressure for single AND signal men out there!ReplyDelete
Thanks again for a lovely evening, we had a blast!
Oh No! Sorry to hear you had such a complicated journey home. How unfair. Surely you deserved some good karma after filling all our bellies with such yummy food :)ReplyDelete
thank you for the recipes, will be trying them all (especially the mash!!)ReplyDelete
Ha! Mad, Limerick Junction is always really eerily quite, weird! AND I didn't know you could bring dogs on trains?! This is massive news!ReplyDelete

Haggerty was accused of defrauding Mayor Michael Bloomberg out of approximately $1 million in connection with the mayor's 2009 campaign, in which he hired the Haggerty-run Special Elections Operations, LLC (SEO) to handle ballot security and poll watching.
On Monday he was found guilty.
The operation was run through the Independence Party, to which the mayor gave $1.1 million. According to the verdict, the party wired $750,000 of the money to SEO's account, which Haggerty then used to buy out his brother's half of the family's house in upscale Forest Hills Gardens.
While what Haggerty did was wrong, the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance, has been making the case a much more high-profiile affair than it deserves. Vance has received a lot of criticism lately for mishandling cases, most notably the rape case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the Former International Monetary Fund chief who was accused of sexually assaulting a housekeeper at a Manhattan hotel.
We feel Vance used the Haggerty trial to bolster his public image.
Sure, Haggerty stole the mayor's money, but surely a man who made billions in the private sector has a competent campaign staff that can insure that campaign money is spent wisely. And for the record, it was never the mayor that complained his campaign was defrauded out of the money.
As part of the verdict, Haggerty will be forced to repay $900,000. It should have stopped there.
Instead, to bolster his own image as a effective prosecutor, Vance is pursuing jail time, and Haggerty will likely spend between one and four years in jail. We think probation and staying away from politics would have been an appropriate punishment.
Vance can't seem to get an alleged rapist behind bars, but at least he can throw the book at a low-level political operative and make sure our billionaire mayor doesn't lose a drop of his money.

Women's Chestnut Slippers Sheepskin Emma ClassicSTANTON – A man was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison Thursday after breaking into the Greenville Municipal Airport and stealing an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) last year.
Tyler Rivera, 19, of Holt, previously pleaded guilty to breaking and entering a building with intent. The crime was Rivera's fifth felony as an adult.
On Thursday, Judge Suzanne Hoseth Kreeger sentenced Rivera to from 29 months to 10 years in prison, plus $2,674.30 in restitution to be paid jointly with two co-defendants.
Rivera didn't wish to make a statement before he was sentenced. When the judge pressed him to speak, he said he learned from his crime and will never steal again.
Women's Emma Slippers Sheepskin Classic Chestnut "You certainly appear to be the leader in this situation and that concerns me," Kreeger said.
Rivera's longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend, Amanda Engel, 19, of Greenville, testified against him at a preliminary court hearing last year. Engel pleaded guilty to receiving and concealing stolen property in connection with the crime.
Vandel "Van" Stephens, 19, of Sidney, was charged with receiving and concealing stolen property in connection with the crime, but his court record is no longer public.
Engel was fired from her job at the Greenville airport about a month before the May 27 or May 28 break-in. She was rehired about a week before the theft, but was about to be fired again, according to airport manager Peter Jeppesen.
Avon Arbo testified in court that he stored his Bombardier ATV in his hangar at the city-owned Greenville airport when it was stolen. Montcalm County sheriff's deputies recovered the extensively damaged ATV in late August and arrested Engel and Stephens. They arrested Rivera in late October.
Jeppesen testified that a terminal window was broken, a couch was tipped over and cash had been stolen from the airport and from Petersen Oil, which manages the airport's fuel system.

"Stay" is a doo-wop song written by Maurice Williams and first recorded in 1960 by Williams with his group the Zodiacs.[1] Commercially successful versions were later also issued by The Hollies, The Four Seasons and Long Lewandowski Sleeve Kids 18 Red adidas Home Shirt Munich Originals Bayern 2017 wxvqqEY0gz.
Writing and original recording[edit]
The song was written by Williams in 1953 when he was 15 years old. He had been trying to convince his date not to go home at 10 o'clock as she was supposed to. He lost the argument, but as he was to relate years later, "Like a flood, the words just came to me."
In 1960, the song was put on a demo by Williams and his band, the Zodiacs, but it attracted no interest until a ten-year-old heard it and impressed the band members with her positive reaction to the tune.[citation needed] The band's producers took it along with some other demos to New York City and played them for all the major record producers that they could access. Finally, Al Silver of Herald Records became interested, but insisted that the song be re-recorded as the demo's recording levels were too low. They also said that one line, "Let's have another smoke" would have to be removed in order for the song to be played on commercial radio. After the group recorded the tune again, it was released by Herald Records and was picked up by CKLW. It entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on October 9, 1960 and reached the number one spot on November 21, 1960. It was dislodged a week later by Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?". On the Herald recording, Williams sang lead and Henry Gaston sang the falsetto counter-verse.
The original recording of "Stay" remains the shortest single ever to reach the top of the American record charts, at 1 minute 36 seconds in length. By 1990, it had sold more than 8 million copies. It received a new lease of popularity after being featured on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.
Other versions[edit]
- In August 1963, the song was released by the Hollies,[2] who took it to number eight in the UK Singles Chart.
- The Four Seasons version was first released on their June 1963 album The 4 Seasons Sing Ain't That a Shame and 11 Others; it was later released as a single in December 1963. Vee Jay originally released it as the B-side of "Peanuts" in December, but when disc jockeys started to "turn the single over" to play "Stay" on the air, the record company superseded the single with a new one with "Stay" as the A-side and "Goodnight My Love" as the new B-side.[3] It peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100[4][5] in April.
- In 1964, the song was recorded by The Dave Clark Five on their studio album Glad All Over.
- The song was recorded in 1968 by Jan & Dean for release on their album Carnival of Sound but the album was not released until 2010.
- Singer-songwriter Andrew Gold recorded a version of "Stay" for his 1976 album What's Wrong with This Picture?.
- A version of the song with revised lyrics is the last track on Long Lewandowski Sleeve Kids 18 Red adidas Home Shirt Munich Originals Bayern 2017 wxvqqEY0gz's 1977 album Running on Empty. The song, which follows on the heels of Browne's "The Load-Out" begs the audience to stay for an encore and includes an extensive playout. It includes backing contributions from David Lindley and Rosemary Butler. Browne, Butler and Lindley each contribute a similar verse in turn in ascending vocal ranges. It was released as a single and reached number 20 in the U.S. as well as number 12 in the UK.
- Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band recorded a version for the No Nukes album in September 1979.
- "Stay" was the third and final single from Cyndi Lauper's 2003 album At Last. It was a promo-only single, released only in the U.S. and Australia. The video that accompanied it is rarely seen but is commercially available as a special feature on the DVD, Live at Last.
- In 1980, Austrian singer Georg Danzer wrote a German text to the Jackson Browne medley "The Load Out"/"Stay". It was performed live on the album Direkt as "Roadie Song".
- Lyrics from the song were interpolated on reggae artist Buju Banton's song "Hush Baby Hush" on his 1995 album 'Til Shiloh.
- The recording of the song by British pop group Dreamhouse was first released as a single in 1995, then again in 1998.
- Italo disco duo Marx & Spencer released their version in 1983.
- Australian group Human Nature included the song on their 2014 album Jukebox.

Durango Connect might not have connected through the entire seven miles of the Animas River Trail, but no one seemed to mind the gaps.
Spirits were high Thursday morning as an estimated 9,000 linked hands, waved their arms to the sky and kicked their legs like a chorus line to celebrate the trail becoming contiguous from north to south this year.
Forty years ago in Durango, nobody could have conceived of this kind of thing, Mayor Doug Lyon said. It was an audacious dream, having a trail going the whole length of Durango along the Animas River.
Organizer Jack Turner came up with the idea for linking hands along the river trail. Wearing a loaded activity vest, he acted in equals parts like a hammy Hollywood director and a fussy wedding planner in trying to get people to line up, spread out and wave to cameras in the helicopter flying overhead. The aerial video of the event was supposed to be posted at YouTube.com on Thursday night.
There were areas where people were clumped together, standing shoulder to shoulder, but Turner acknowledged there were a few gaps, too, in the human chain.
Well know looking at the tape, but Im fairly certain it did not actually connect the whole way, Turner said. We certainly had enough people. The fact we were all standing on the trail makes us connected.
Eyewitness reports noted that the human chain did not extend all the way to its southern end behind Home Depot, petering out a half-mile away behind Escalante Middle School. In the middle of town, the chain reportedly had some missing links underneath the Main Avenue bridge, near the Durango Discovery Museum and by the skate park.
Durango Connect had the support of 6,000 schoolchildren who wore colored T-shirts so they would be easy to find in case they got lost. Schools organized lesson plans around the event to make the most of the experience. Students, for example, were asked to calculate the distance of pavement one class could cover and learn the history of the riverfront.
But Superintendent Dan Snowberger also said he wanted the children to realize they were part of the community at large.
As an indication of how seriously students took Durango Connect, a middle school girl yelled at a laggard who was not linking up, Youre the reason were going to fail!
A cast of Durango characters came to celebrate the communitys diversity as some wore Viking helmets and neon-colored wigs.
An exuberant Candye Sauer came decked out in a rainbow feather boa, with matching bandana for her dog Chili Pepper. Sauer took on the role of ringleader, trying with mixed results to spice up the proceedings while waiting for the helicopter flyby. Her attempts to coordinate an impromptu can-can dance were unsuccessful, but she managed to trigger a rousing rendition of the folk song Ive Been Working on the Railroad, inspired by the train that had just chugged past.
I didnt realize I knew all the words, she said breathlessly.
I havent heard that song in 40 years, said somebody a few links away.
Sauer felt compelled to turn out because of her long history in Durango.
Ive seen the trail develop from the beginning, she said.
Basin Printing & Imaging was one of many businesses to close temporarily to allow its employees to take part.
Its fun to come together, even for a moment, said Basin employee Selena Trujillo.
There was a family reunion for the Carlenos, whose family donated the land for the trail behind the Durango Mall, enabling the city to fill in the last missing link in the trail this spring. Ten family members came from as far as Denver and Texas for the event. After the event, they posed for a group shot with Mayor Lyon.
Uta Carleno, who was married to Richard Carleno, who died on Oct. 25 last year, recalled that the mall property formerly was a ranch.
The Carlenos wanted to donate the land for the trail because they felt it was a wonderful use.
I know a lot of people had to make deals (for trail land that) the city paid for, but this stretch (from the Durango Mall to the high bridge) was donated, Uta Carleno said.
Long-term plans for the trail have it extending southeast to Mercy Regional Medical Center in Grandview and north to the Iron Horse Inn.
Terri Morfesy, a home health nurse who likes to walk the trail while listening to audio books during her lunch breaks, said the event made her feel part of history.
The day was commemorated with a steel sculpture of the Durango Connect logo, which looks like the infinity symbol with loops of river water appearing to clasp hands. Dave Clausson created the sculpture from a donated design by Clint Reid of J3 Media. It is bolted to the railing on the overlook section of the river trail behind the mall.
As soon as Durango Connect came undone, the roller skaters and jogging mothers pushing baby strollers reclaimed the pavement.

The 30-Second Technical Flash Chart Report on the S&P 500
This week is do or die for US stocks.
Take a look at the charts below for a quick look at what I see happening.
Bar Chart, Market Momentum Index
I look at this chart daily. In short, if its price is at 101 or higher, I expect the broad market to pause or pull back within the next day. It tells me if stocks have moved too far in one direction on a daily basis; if so, sellers (big money players) are likely to re-align stocks by taking profits or shorting during these times.
Stock Trading Above the 50-Day Moving Average
Here we can see that while the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) has been rising over the past six months, fewer stocks are trading above their 50-day moving averages. This means a smaller group of stocks is holding the market up and it's just a matter of time before those stocks burn out and roll over as well.

With the S&P 500 breaking down from its trend channel and testing a short term resistance trend line, odds favor sellers becoming more active and pulling the market down as they unload any remaining long positions and possibly get short the market. Both of these actions will put pressure on US stocks.
Big Picture Outlook
This chart is just to show you what is possible. I am not a perma-bear, nor do I want another bear market like this to happen. But knowing what is possible is important. Major market tops tend to take several months to happen. If this is the case, then it could be a wild and choppy market for the rest of 2013. Don't expect price to just collapse and free-fall for 18 months. Bear markets must be actively traded as they carry a lot of risk.
This week is do or die for US stocks. We need sellers to step in here and pull stocks down. With the S&P 500 trading at resistance, stocks being overbought on a short term basis, and the holiday week behind us (which typically favors higher prices), it is now time for sellers to become active once again.

African American Ministers in Action addressed a letter to Senators in support of repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell.
December 15, 2010
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator:
On behalf of African American Ministers in Action, a project of People For the American Way, we write in strong opposition to all forms of discrimination against gay military personnel and in strong support of all actions needed to address and subsequently repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. We welcome today's passage of the House amendment to the Senate amendment of H.R. 2965, and urge the Senate to take up this measure forthwith. It is time to finally send repeal to the President's desk.
Representing progressive African American faith leaders from around the country, African American Ministers in Action is a ministry of civil engagement and social justice that embraces the "beloved community" envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Consciously recognizing discrimination and oppression, we believe in justice and equality for all, and we support all members of the armed services, including gay servicemembers, who stand and defend our country. We support their individual and collective struggle for open and honest service in our military; true service that has been denied for more than 15 years.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell is contradictory to the values and teachings progressive men and women of faith express weekly to their congregations. Values such as honor, integrity, faithfulness and service are common in places of worship and associated with the armed forces, not to mention equality and freedom of expression espoused by our Constitution. Repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell is necessary to restore these values. Until then, a segment of servicemembers will have to lie and hide their true identity on a daily basis. Those who live openly and share information about their spouses, significant others, or dating life risk investigation and involuntary expulsion. Any statement that one is gay – to anyone, at any time, before or after enlistment – can be reason for discharge. One's life is a constant liability to one's career for gay military personnel.
The faith community will continue in faithful dialogue to address the questions of LGBT equality and recognition of same-sex relationships. However, one thing people of faith should and do recognize is the need to protect constitutional and civil rights of all Americans, especially those who are discriminated against because of who they are. LGBT individuals are ready and willing to step up, and have stood up to the challenge of military service. They share in the sacrifices made by their family, friends, and neighbors. They deserve to serve honestly and openly with dignity.
There is a time and a season for every activity, every purpose. Now is the time, this is the season to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Reverend Timothy McDonald, III

Reverend Dr. Robert P. Shine

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — The new 137,000-square-foot Target in this Jersey Shore community is filled with fresh additions — including the latest beauty prototype the retailer has been rolling out the past year — and is geared to be environmentally friendly.
An 8-foot section filled with beauty products using natural ingredients features Avalon, Jason, Alba, Giovanni, Dr. Bonner's and Burt's Bees. There is also an endcap of Burt's Bees near the entrance of the beauty department, which is at the front of the store.
This story first appeared in the July 25, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The unit is located in a new open air retail strip with several other big-box stores on the site of two former landfills and meets the standards of the Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building rating system, Target said. It also features the retailer's new recycled plastic shopping carts. There's a park at one end of the store, whimsical bull's-eyes imprinted into the sidewalk and appealing tower displays outside the entrance. The official opening of the space in the Stafford Park center is Sunday.
Physicians Formula's Organic Wear is integrated in-line within the brand's planogram. Organic Wear is situated next to Mineral Wear within the set. There are also Physicians Formula mineral kits and only one Bare Escentuals kit in this store — versus a major commitment to Bare Escentuals in nearby Target stores. Other natural touches include organic foods in an expanded Market food department and bamboo items in domestics.
The beauty treatment follows Target's most recent developments, although it does not feature the professional skin care department found in an estimated 500 units that includes Origins, Clarins and Kiehl's. However, the store does tout consumer-friendly signage such as graphics in hair and skin, helping customers self-select the right item for their needs. The unit has explanatory and captivating graphics, such as photography of kids dangling from the ceiling, promoting back-to-school.
The first aisle in the peg cosmetics department is devoted to 8 feet of Neutrogena, which leads into 16 feet of Maybelline. Across from that is 20 feet of Cover Girl and a 4-foot Rimmel assortment. The next aisle has NYC, 8 feet of Almay and a 16-foot Revlon department. The facing aisle holds 16 feet of L'Oréal. The color cosmetics assortment is rounded out with Sonia Kashuk, Bonne Bell Smackers and a house brand called Gossip. The back wall is devoted to fragrances, mostly in hanging clamshell packaging, and nail care including a large commitment to OPI nail color that was attracting interest during the party.
Throughout the store and especially in fragrance, Target has zeroed in on signage alerting parents about products for kids and teens. For example, youthful scents have a special sign in fragrances. The chain also offers cosmetics bags and totes.
Target has pared down its European skin care assortment, which launched two years ago, but added in-line space for Soap and Glory, Kaori, J.R. Watkins and the natural department. Skin care is dominated by Aveeno and the full lineup of Olay products.
This store has a clearly marked hair care department with signs identifying the major brands. Several salon brands found in other stores were not available in this unit. In hair color, Target has set aside space for new shades of the wildly popular Perfect 10, which are set to bow shortly.
Notable in this store is the extension of Target's Market food concept. Although the unit is not a Greatlands design, food in this store features numerous cold cases. Other expanded departments include furniture, home storage and seasonal. There is also a new design at the checkout featuring express lanes for purchases of 10 items or less that stacked along the exit for easy egress and the addition of more cashier lanes. Curvy fixtures in apparel and a high-tech counter in electronics provide a more upscale ambience than older Target cabinetry. The store also ushers in new lines such as Shaun White apparel for men and boys, as well as a b-t-s shopping tool called TargetLists.
From a competition standpoint, Target is in a rapidly growing market. The store is the first mass merchant tourists will encounter as they exit the Garden State Parkway en route to popular Long Beach Island. There is a Kmart and Wal-Mart within a few miles, but both are older stores with less than up-to-date beauty prototypes. The closest department store is more than 40 miles away. In addition to vacationers the shopping center — which also has a Dick's, a PetSmart, a Costco and a Best Buy — should attract people moving into the area.�

Comfortable with Uncertainty does not assume prior knowledge of Buddhist thought or practice, making it a perfect introduction to Chödrön's teaching. It features the most essential and stirring passages from Chödrön's previous books, exploring topics such as lovingkindness, meditation, mindfulness, "nowness," letting go, and working with fear and other painful emotions. Through the course of this book, readers will learn practical methods for heightening awareness and overcoming habitual patterns that block compassion.News & Reviews
"Gently, conversationally, and with humor, Comfortable with Uncertainty offers strategies for seeing and thinking differently. For many people the approach is nothing less than transformational." —Boston Globe
"Chödrön's radical words of wisdom unlock doors and shine warm light into the darkness of human cynicism and despair." —Utne Reader
"Chödrön's voice is gently humorous, always kind, and seemingly infinitely wise." —L.A. TimesReader Reviews

Hint: use one keyword or phrase at a time for best results. Ex: "rhymes" OR "orange" OR "rhymes with orange," not "rhymes orange."
This would have been perfect for the big refrigerator cleanout before Passover

Fees & Taxes: We do not charge taxes. Further, we are not responsible for the payment of customs, fees or taxes (if any) which arise from you importing ancient coins and antiquities into your country. Please consult your country's importing laws and regulations for more details.
Shipping: We ship ancient coins and antiquities worldwide. We offer flat rates for domestic and international shipping which includes insurance for your peace of mind. Shipping rates are displayed during the checkout process and unless expressly provided otherwise, do not vary by weight.
Delivery: We ship only after payment is received. In the case of fund transfers, receipt of payment is taken to mean when the funds have cleared into our account. We aim to ship as soon as reasonably practicable after payment is received. We cannot be held responsible for any uninsurable losses arising out of the mail process, including any losses arising from the local laws of your country. It is your responsibility to check and be aware of restrictions (if any) on importing ancient coins and antiquities into your country. Shipping times vary depending on the destination country. For international orders, please allow up to two weeks before enquiring about your order status. Tracking numbers will be provided so you can track your parcel on the Australia Post website.
Descriptions and images: We use our best endeavours to accurately photograph, describe and attribute coins relying on available physical and online references. We put considerable effort into researching coins in physical references and online databases. Over time, dates, mints and other items attributed to a particular coin can change from new research. In some cases these matters are the subject of ongoing debate by academics. Additionally although grading an ancient coin is a matter of subjective opinion, we try to be conservative. We try our best to take photos which mirror how the coin appears in hand. However, photographs will vary slightly (including colour) from the actual subject due to lighting conditions and limitations in the equipment and post-processing software used.
Refunds & Returns: All ancient coins and antiquities are guaranteed authentic for life. Ancient coins (other than ancient coins sold as a group) are accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity. All ancient coins (including ancient coins sold as a group) may only be returned for a refund if it is established by an accredited professional that they are not authentic. Accredited professionals means experts who specialise in certification services for ancient coins. Our recommended choice is David.R.Sear, who is a leading authority in the field of ancient numismatics. Other recommended certification services include PCGS. Except to the extent required by law and without limiting any rights you have at law, it is our discretion whether refunds will be given for any minor issues with our descriptions. JHowever, we will exercise such discretion reasonably and in good faith. Examples of minor issues: we have incorrectly described the date of a coin as 16AD instead of 17AD; 2) We have incorrectly attributed the coin e.g. referencing SNG ANS 888 instead of SNG ANS 887. Examples of major issues where we will refund: 1) we describe an ancient coin as a "lifetime issue" and in fact, it is not; 2) we describe an ancient coin as being minted under one emperor (e.g. Vespasian) and it was actually minted under another (e.g. Titus).
Privacy laws: Your private information is protected in Australia by Federal law. Please refer to our Privacy Notice for more information.
Jurisdiction: The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australiaand any courts that may hear appeals from those courts in respect of any proceedings in connection with these terms and conditions.
Contact us: The best way to contact us is via email. You may feel free to ask any questions you like about ancient coins and antiquities. Please allow up to 24 hours for a reply, though we do try and answer enquiries as soon as they are received.Last update: 2 October 2017

The Greatest Automotive Show on Earth: SEMA 2013Posted in Events on January 29, 2014
Fifty years after the inception of SEMA (the Speed Equipment Manufacturer's Association) in 1963, the SEMA show has proven itself to be the megalith of automotive aftermarket trade shows once again, with its 46th show drawing more people this year than ever before. More than 125,000 people descended upon Las Vegas to see all the parts, the vehicle builds, and shows brought into Vegas by the automotive aftermarket and manufacturers from all over the world.
While there were countless vehicles and new parts to show off, we picked a choice few that we thought might appeal to you.
D38 Tire
Mickey Thompson has a new mud-terrain called the Deegan 38. It is a tire built with style and performance, but with good value at a price point lower than similar tires cost.
Trail Hog
Kanati's newest tackle-any-terrain tire is the Trail Hog. Slightly less aggressive than the Mud Hog, the Trail Hog still is more aggressive than any standard all-terrain. It also takes studs for snow driving.
Radiused Light Bar
This is not an illusion, but instead a new style of radiused LED light bar we saw from a few different manufacturers. This is Baja Designs' OnX Arc Series, available up to 51 inches long.
3-to-1 Long-Tube Headers
Tubular exhaust manifolds for 2012-2013 FJ Cruisers with 4.0L engines. Made from 304 stainless steel, ceramic coated.
Radar Tires
New to the off-road market, but already proven with a Baja 500 Class 10 win. Radar offers both the Renegade A/T all-terrain and Renegade R5 M/T mud-terrain.
Competition 9-Inch Locker
Stronger ARB Ford 9-Inch air locking differential with increased case strength, deeper clutch gear engagement, improved internal oiling, and a ring gear bolt locking system. arbusa.com
rX-Torque Box
Planetary reduction gearbox strong enough to easily endure the Baja 1000 or Dakar rally from Torque Trends, Inc.
Forged Weld Beadlocks
Weld Racing has three new forged aluminum wheels now available with a 32-hole single beadlock ring, available in 16- to 20-inch wheel sizes.
Falken's Future Tire
Falken showed off a new mud-terrain tire that is not just unavailable, but might not ever come to fruition. This is just an idea of what the new mud-terrain will look like when Falken releases one in about a year.
6.0L Electric Fans
Flex-a-Lite now has a direct fit radiator and fan combo for 2003 to 2007 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke diesel trucks. This can be bought as a complete package or just as a fan kit to add to your existing radiator to eliminate the stock fan and fan clutch.
Raptor Supercharger
Prochargers new intercooled supercharger touted to add 200 additional horsepower to the already powerful Ford Raptor F-150.
Core 44 Axles
G2 Gear now has bolt-in replacement axles for JK Wranglers. It features many strength enhancements over a stock axle including thicker axle tubes.
Easy Bypass Adjusters
King has new Bypass Clicker knobs available on their externally adjusted bypass shocks. Each clicker offers 28 clicks of precise tuning.
Aftermarket 4WD IFS
Dynatrac showed off its new Dana 80-based centersection for independent front suspension vehicles with four-wheel drive. While it necessitates a completely custom adaption into your vehicle, it is a huge step forward in aftermarket front-wheel drive options.
Klever M/Ts
Kenda has made a sudden leap into the light-duty off-road truck tire market. We'll have more for you on the new Kenda Klever M/Ts as soon as we can get some miles on a set.
Electronically Adjusted Bypass Shocks
JRI has new 2.5 electronically controlled bypass shocks available for trucks in a set of four with a controller that allows tuning of the bypass shocks from inside the vehicle while in motion or not.
Smartphone Winch Control
The new ROAM systems from Superwinch allows you to wirelessly and remotely control your vehicle-mounted winch using a secure Wi-Fi network.
Pro Comp 40s
After a long hiatus, Pro Comp Tire has brought back a 40-inch size in their Xtreme MT2.
