The last apples of summer
had fallen just before
the storm came and laid down
its fleece,
bringing the hardness
of the arctic white to the canal
-- I'm not one of those
who finds winter's peace
a welcomed comfort --
nor in that judgement
could I find myself
scarcely alone,
for at least one other
shared my displeasure,
forced to look
for a nearby loan
of a residence to hold up in
through all the cold
and hardness that would hold
for awhile;
the ducks could not swim there
and neither could he,
so he took refuge
within my woodpile.
Fattened and slick,
he'd sit there and look;
propped up on his hinds
he had sat,
sniffing about with his
file tail stuck out,
I had seen him --
my tenant muskrat.
My first reaction
was to cringe at this rat,
until I realized
whom I was dealing with here.
He burrowed the snow
like an otter that noon
for the apples
that he knew were near,
and then I sat a big red one
out there for him
and stood by
in the window to wait
for him to go for it,
but I soon found out
careless abandon
was not a muskrat trait.
I could imagine him
sitting within some crevice,
peering out from
the woodpile inn,
watching that big red apple
just sit there
and deciding several times
to begin
outward to nab it,
but with a false start
each time -- but next day,
it was gone,
and I imagined him munching
away on that lunch
and the tree
that would grow there before long.
The night after New Year's,
as I lay asleep,
a ruckous broke out
in the front yard,
but when I looked out
from my half-opened lids,
I imagined seeing
my find tenant guard.
Yet with morning
and with the light
as I turned
after securing my latch,
all across the snow-cover
were patches of blood
and all about
multitudinous dog tracks!
A fresh layer of snow
soon blanketed
the scene of
my tenant's demise,
the savage act of
some itinerate hound
whom my guest happened
to meet by surprise --
all I ever found
was a little black nose
with some whiskers afixed
yet to each side,
and a part of a tail
(and a few inner parts
which a neighborhood cat
liked when he tried).
When Spring returns
and the canal is not hard
and the ducks and
the geese and the crane
return to the current
as they are wont,
still the nights
cannot be the same,
for the prowling sub
will not mark its course
through the waters
to the boathouse, and I
will be the sadder
and more alone for the loss
-- but I thought muskrats
were much more sly.
My inheritance woodpile
is dwindling away
as I curse
the wintery blowing blast
-- not that it stays
as long as it does,
but comes at all --
not soon enough will it pass.

Recent B&S article... MICHAEL JACKSON: A THRILLER OF A CAREER
The much-publicized 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking, history-making ГўҖңThrillerГўҖқ by Michael Jackson is a reminder ГўҖ" for those who may have forgotten ГўҖ" that the legendary music man has been recording as a solo artist for an amazing thirty-six years!
Unlike virtually any other artist with such longevity, Michael has only made a total of nine solo albums in that time period, four for Motown (from 1972-75), the rest for Epic. Of course that the lead singer for the Jackson Five would have a solo career at all had a certain inevitability to it for those of us who witnessed the J5 when the group first broke onto the international music scene in 1969: I can still recall seeing the group in its heyday at Wembley in the early ГўҖҳ70s, dazzled by the choreography, the harmonies and MichaelГўҖҷs heartfelt outfront vocals.
The story of the Jacksons is well known: born in Gary, Indiana, the brothers (Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael) were encouraged by their father, Joe to pursue their natural interest in music; by 1966, they had entered and won a local talent contest and a year later, the five siblings were at the world-famous Apollo Theater in New York where they won the amateur talent contest (the launching pad for all manner of other future stars including Stephanie Mills). Gladys Knight saw the group and apparently recommended them to Berry Gordy Jr. at Motown but initially to no avail. The team recorded for a local label and even did a session for AtlanticГўҖҷs Cotillion label but it wasnГўҖҷt until another Motown artist Bobby Taylor insisted that Gordy check them out that the groupГўҖҷs fortunes changed.
Gordy was suitably impressed by the JacksonГўҖҷs musicality and a year after signing them in 1968, Motown released the J5ГўҖҷs classic single ГўҖңI Want You Back,ГўҖқ with a then-eleven-year old Michael on lead. After several more hits with the group, Motown sent Michael into the studio to make his first solo recordings in ГўҖҷ71: ГўҖңGot To Be ThereГўҖқ became a Top 5 pop and R&B smash and was followed by a cover of Bobby DayГўҖҷs ГўҖңRockinГўҖҷ RobinГўҖқ and Leon WareГўҖҷs ГўҖңI Wanna Be Where You Are.ГўҖқ Michael ended 1972 with a No. 1 U.S. single in the form of ГўҖңBen,ГўҖқ the theme from a movie about a trained rat of the same name.
By the time Motown released MichaelГўҖҷs fourth LP (ГўҖңForever MichaelГўҖқ), his solo career was somewhat in the doldrums. His appearance in the movie version of ГўҖңThe WizГўҖқ alongside Diana Ross brought him in contact with legendary producer Quincy Jones and since The Jacksons had been signed to Epic in 1976, the label also became MichaelГўҖҷs solo recording home. ГўҖңOff The Wall,ГўҖқ an excellent first Jones-Jackson collaboration (spurred by the magnetic single ГўҖңDonГўҖҷt Stop Til You Get EnoughГўҖқ) sold a cool seven million copies in the U.S. (and a few more worldwide) and signaled MichaelГўҖҷs arrival as a bonafide musical superstar.
Released in 1982, ГўҖңThrillerГўҖқ broke all kinds of records, selling an amazing forty million copies, spawning seven hits from its nine tracks (think, ГўҖңBillie Jean,ГўҖқ ГўҖңBeat It,ГўҖқ ГўҖңHuman Nature,ГўҖқ ГўҖңP.Y.T.,ГўҖқ ГўҖңWanna Be StartinГўҖҷ SomethingГўҖқ and ГўҖңThe Girl Is MineГўҖқ) and bringing music video to a new level of International popularity and success. Trying to top such an accomplishment would be impossible for any artist: even though albums such as 1987ГўҖҷs ГўҖңBadГўҖқ (with some fine tracks like ГўҖңMan In The MirrorГўҖқ and ГўҖңSmooth CriminalГўҖқ) and 1991ГўҖҷs ГўҖңDangerousГўҖқ performed well by most standards (each selling millions of copies), the constant comparisons with ГўҖңThrillerГўҖқ must have been somewhat difficult for Jackson to handle. Certainly, his increasingly ГўҖҳdifferentГўҖҷ behaviour, the changes in his appearance (brought on by a skin condition, vitiligo) and his reputation for eccentricity didnГўҖҷt help: he was dubbed ГўҖҳWacko JackoГўҖҷ by the British press and he never quite escaped the moniker.
In 1995, Epic released a 2-CD set, ГўҖңHIStory: Past, Present And Future, Book 1ГўҖқ which contained some new material (including his duet with sister Janet, ГўҖңScreamГўҖқ) and in 2001 came what was his most recent album of all new work, ГўҖңInvincibleГўҖқ for which he teamed with urban producers such as Rodney Jerkins. With all the masses of publicity that have surrounded MichaelГўҖҷs much-reported legal battles, itГўҖҷs easy to forget the pioneering role he played in contemporary music in the ГўҖҳ80s: the 2008 deluxe reissue of ГўҖңThrillerГўҖқ with one brand new track from the original sessions (ГўҖңFor All TimeГўҖқ) is a timely reminder.

Turns out, it's worse than all that. Critics were way too kind to this movie. Way too kind.
The best thing about 'Ghost in the Shell' is that Scarlett Johansson was cast in the lead role; but even that is faint praise. The film somehow manages to make her as unappealing as possible by stripping her of everything that makes her likeable on screen. And, they kept emphasizing that as if it was a good thing.
And that was the best thing about the film.
The rest is pretty forgettable. Very drab. Very bland. Watching paint dry might be more exciting and meaningful. There is basically no tangible artifact from this film; nothing of value or significance. No world building. No character development. No reason to care or give a damn about anything in the movie. The movie even gets its whitewashing of Asian characters wrong. It doesn't even pretend to understand Asian contexts.
Save yourself the time and don't go and see this movie. It's probably the worst film of the year. Save yourself the trouble; 'Netflix & chill' instead.
This movie has no plot worth talking about. Sorry.

In Defence of Cutscenes (Eventually)
November 21, 2010 § Leave a comment
Any narratalogical purist will vehemently insist that there should be no separation between protagonist and player. Every shot, every step, and every movement of the head should originate from the player and the player alone. In return the protagonist acts as a vessel for the player, their experiences merge and, if done well, the player becomes completely immersed in the game world.
As clichéd as it's become to mention Half Life in an article like this, it's worth doing since it's such an absolutest in this regard. It's hard to claim Freeman is a character at all such is the level of control the player has over him.
At first glance this approach to storytelling seems ideal. After all if we wanted to watch someone else's story, would we not just watch a movie? It's jarring to have choices made outside of your control and in effect we become what I can only think to describe as a fourth person to proceedings; too in control to be a third, and yet a little too impotent to truly be first.
The more you think about it however, the more you realise how few games actually go down this route. Half Life and Bioshock are literally the only two recent examples I can bring to mind (although of course feel free to bring up more in the comments). Some might argue that their rarity is as a result of a deficiency in a developer's skill, but in this writer's opinion the problem is actually far deeper.
Having a protagonist which can only act through the will of the player is constricting because it doesn't allow for a very strong lead character. You're always following someone else's orders, always a part of a group, but never in control of its direction. It would be impossible for a game to allow you to do anything you wanted, and thus when it can't take control away from the player and place it in the hands of a protagonist it's forced to delegate this to an NPC. It limits storytelling in a medium which already struggles to weave unique tales of its own.
More quantitatively it also forces games to be experienced from a first person perspective. This might seem like an odd statement to make at first, so allow me to explain. Utilising a third person perspective involves having a character on screen, this much is obvious. This character needs to react to the world around it, the events that it sees, and the feelings that it has. It needs to shiver when it's cold, gasp when it's surprised, and get fidgety when you leave it stationary for too long.
If it doesn't do these things it breaks the immersion. The first Dead Space struggled with this a great deal. Isaac Clarke what a completely human controlled protagonist, which meant that when he started seeing apparitions of his girlfriend he didn't respond at all. The fact that it left me as a player confused was perhaps intentional, but it didn't change the fact that at these moments it just looked plain weird.
Conversely the moment it does do these things you have an action which the protagonist is performing which did not originate from the player's control. The protagonist becomes a character in his own right, and no matter how small an action, that fundamentally alters the structure of the narrative. A 'dual-protagonist' has been created, if you'll excuse the attempt at phrase-coining.
Once a dual-protagonist exists, does this then excuse the use of cutscenes? After all, the character is already acting outside of your control, so would them doing any more be crossing any other lines? Since no matter how hard you try there's going to be both a player and a protagonist as separate entities, why not reap all the benefits of having control over the pacing and presentation of a storytelling moment.
I'd also personally be very interested in a game which visibly runs with this trait, by perhaps having a protagonist who's aware of the fact he has no control over his own actions. Such a game has the potential to be very comic, with a character who's taken places by the player whilst simultaneously through dialogue making his opposition to this very clear. There's more to be done with this idea, and I'd love to see it explored.
So does it bother you when a character makes choices which are beyond your control, or are you prepared to live with it if it leads to a better story?
Comment like your lives depended on it people!
The Video Game Library
November 9, 2010 § Leave a comment
Paul Wheatley, a specialist in digital preservation at the British Library, expressed an interest this week in preserving our video gaming heritage. "At the very least," he said, "I would like the British Library to provide support to the NVA based on this digital preservation expertise and I'm hoping we can collaborate further."
The implication here is a valid one; we simply don't do enough as an industry to preserve our past. The arrival of a new hardware cycle is all it takes for us to lose legitimate access to thousands of games which, for the most part, won't ever be 'legally' available again.
Take Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as an example. The game is a classic, one of the greatest to ever appear on the Playstation, and yet Europeans are stuck with a single option if they want to experience it once again. They must get their hands on an emulator with no official support, and download a disk image from a dark corner of the internet. This is a best case scenario, other games, such as the acclaimed Rogue Squadron for the Nintendo 64 aren't yet playable by this means.
The potential to dig out all the old hardware is there of course, but this becomes significantly harder when the various equipment necessary hasn't been on store shelves in a good long while. Even when people do put in the effort to do everything above board, their money is unlikely to to go anywhere near the people that poured their heart and soul into the game.
Teams of passionate individuals who work in their spare time on various console emulators are the unsung heroes of our industry. These people don't get paid (for the most part), they don't get supported, and every step they make is an uphill struggle against the closed hardware the majority of our games now run on. It is simply ridiculous that a commercialised industry for emulating old consoles doesn't exist.
The Wii's Virtual Console, as well as the inclusion of original Playstation games on the Playstation Network, is a noble effort indeed, but in the grand scheme of things it's little more than a drop in the ocean. Work to make old games available through this service has been hampered by bureaucracy at every turn, bringing serious doubt to the financial viability of each inclusion.
The final nail in the coffin is that the proportion of the gaming audience interested in playing ten or even five year old games is going to be tiny compared to the total gaming market as it now stands, and that's just for the blockbusters of yesteryear. Finding anyone interested in playing, let alone paying for AeroWings for the Dreamcast is a business endeavour only a fool would embark upon.
The capitalists amongst you might argue that this should be the end of the discussion; that if there's not enough demand to fund such work then it shouldn't be done. You have a point of course, but just because the majority of people aren't interested in something, doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile. After all, the popularity of sites such as Gamespot and IGN shows us that most people want nothing to do with anything beyond news, reviews, and previews from their video gaming journalism but that doesn't mean we're wasting our time here at Bitmob.
My argument here is not that I want access to every retro game in order to play and enjoy them, but that it's important for our history to be able to. There aren't going to be many games made today that people will still want to play in fifty years, but that doesn't mean that they won't have contributed a great deal to the industry as a whole.
Take kill.switch as an example. When it was released it was a pretty standard third-person shooter with a nifty little thing called a 'cover mechanic'. It was fun, but nothing special, not special enough to warrant an HD re-release at any rate. Nowadays, with the inclusion of the cover-mechanic in dozens of games this generation, could anyone really claim that kill.switch wasn't a milestone?
On its most basic level this could mean collecting together physical copies of games as they're released, as well as the hardware they run on, and storing them in a library of sorts, for gaming historians to peruse at their leisure.
Taking this idea step further however, in a perfect world anyone could access this library at any time from the comfort of their own home. Emulator teams need to be officially supported, and disk images made available by legitimate means. Some sort of public domain would be needed here, a stipulation that after a game has been out of print for ten years or so (so as to not harm present day sales), then the government should be free to force publishers to make it's source code available online.
This idea is utopian I'll admit. After all we haven't even been able to digitise the public libraries of the world yet, and those are all made up of books likely to take up a couple of megabytes at most in virtual form. Current copyright laws would also prove troublesome, since the lawyers wouldn't be too happy with all this information going out for free.
In reality, it's probably a completely impossible proposition to expect companies to make their back catalogues available for free, even with an unlikely government push behind the movement. As much as I hate to say it, thousands of titles will likely never be legitimately available again.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't try and change things now. Perhaps legislation could be enacted to force games made from now on to be publicly released after they've gone out of print, ensuring that copyright documents written today are aware of this eventuality. It wouldn't do much for the hundreds of Dreamcast games that are impossible to find today, but it'd certainly be a start.
It seems like a small issue currently, but with console hardware getting as complicated as it is, it's only going to get harder and harder for emulator teams as time goes on. We need to start seriously thinking about video game libraries now, because with every year that goes by more and more games are released that could potentially be lost. In all likelihood, the issue isn't going to become apparent until it's far too late.

CHURCH DISAPPOINTMENT? HIS APPOINTMENT!: Why God's Plan for You…Involved a Painful Church Experience by David Spoon
4th Excerpt from Section: "My Testimony"
The eldest one, a hippie who was definitely stuck in the sixties, couldn't help noticing that I had a gun pressed against my head. He politely inquired as to what I was doing and I just as politely told him that Stuart and I had decided that life wasn't worth living and we were going to blow our brains out. The three janitors took on an unspoken mission, no doubt directed by God (remember, God can, will, and does use whatever is available to accomplish His plans. He used both a virgin (Mary) and a prostitute (Rahab) to bring about the birth of Christ. He even used a jackass to rebuke a prophet when Balaam got a mouthful from his own donkey (Numbers 22:30). And I know that He has used unlikely people and places and situations to work things out in your life too!). Instead of freaking out about what Stuart and I were doing, they asked us if we would give them a few moments of our time before we blew our brains out so that they could show us some cool things about life. If we didn't agree with them, then we could go back to our task at hand. But what was a few extra moments of time to us if we were going to commit suicide anyway? We agreed. Then they asked me if I would please put the gun down for a little while. No problem. I was actually pretty curious about what they wanted to share.

How board diversity affects firm performance in emerging markets: evidence on channels in controlled firms
Ararat, Melsa and Aksu, Mine Hatice and Tansel Çetin, Ayşe (2014) How board diversity affects firm performance in emerging markets: evidence on channels in controlled firms. (Accepted/In Press)
ABSTRACT Manuscript Type: Empirical Research Question/Issue: We investigate the indirect effect of board's demographic diversity on firm performance via board monitoring in a context where boards are relatively homogenous with respect to structural diversity, using data from Turkey. We contextualize our investigation by exploring the influence of ownership configurations on the effect of diversity. Research Findings/Insights: We find a positive and non-linear relationship between demographic diversity and performance, mediated by the board's monitoring efforts. The effect of monitoring is found to be contingent upon (moderated by) the controlling shareholders' propensity to expropriate, measured by the deviation of control rights from cash flow rights, i.e. the wedge. We report that demographic diversity enhances firm performance by mitigating the negative effect of wedge on board monitoring. Theoretical/Academic Implications: Our results provide empirical support for the importance of contextual factors in the relationship between diversity and performance. Our framework and t confound diversity and board-monitoring indices we constructed may prove useful to researchers. Practitioner/Policy Implications: Regulators can use our findings in formulating recommendations or regulations related to desirable characteristics of boards. Our results are also instructive for investors and proxy advisors and indicate that the mere existence of monitoring vehicles may be insufficient to prevent expropriation by dominant shareholders, but diverse boards may mitigate the propensity to expropriate. Board members and shareholders should also benefit from the findings in creating boards that are more diligent monitors.

Explaining (Non-) Compliance with the ECHR through Laws on Elections
Helen Hardman
Electoral reform is a domain that political elites jealously guard and a process which governments are reluctant to initiate at the behest of the Council of Europe. This area of research therefore offers fertile ground for identifying which factors are crucial to mobilising the political will for compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights. The UK and Russian governments have demonstrated a lack of political will to implement European Court judgments in this domain, and the UK government defended their refusal to grant prisoners the right to vote in the interest of avoiding offense to 'public opinion'. In the case of Russia, a sudden upsurge in public debate about electoral fraud and the restrictive laws which prevent the political opposition from actively participating in elections resulted in mass riots (2011/2012) and galvanised some positive amendments to electoral laws during the Medvedev presidency. While a lack of public debate in the UK strengthened the government's hand not to act, in the case of Russia debate about electoral laws was instigated through NGOs. Needless to say, the Russian government has subsequently led an onslaught against the NGOs responsible. Since then, in October 2013, the judiciary has acted: the Russian Constitutional Court and the UK Supreme Court each issued decisions which stated that their respective governments are bound by the ECHR and must implement European Court judgments (Hardman, 2013, under review).This paper investigates the conditions under which governments amend electoral laws or practices and identifies which political actors, NGOs or members of the judiciary bring pressure to bear on governments to implement European Court judgments. Comparative research of the UK and Russian cases together with interview data from relevant stakeholders in Hungary and Romania, and desk-research of other cases, will try to better explain what secures states' compliance with the ECHR.

The scene: a traffic light crossing on a university campus in Japan. Carrion crows and humans line up patiently, waiting for the traffic to halt.
When the lights change, the birds hop in front of the cars and place walnuts, which they picked from the adjoining trees, on the road. After the lights turn green again, the birds fly away and vehicles drive over the nuts, cracking them open. Finally, when it's time to cross again, the crows join the pedestrians and pick up their meal.
If the cars miss the nuts, the birds sometimes hop back and put them somewhere else on the road. Or they sit on electricity wires and drop them in front of vehicles.

There's nothing I love more than a good book, the more angst the better for me. I received my first e-reader a little over two years ago and since then my reading habit increased 100x. The 1-click buy now option is now my dealer and I'm addicted. I read anywhere between 400-500 books a year of all genres but mostly the books that I read fall into the romance/erotica category. Until recently I avoided leaving written reviews for the books that I've read but recently I made the decision to try to review what I can. All reviews that I write are based solely on my own opinion. I am not swayed by other reviews or opinions and I could care less if my review is the only good or bad review left for a book. I'm honest to a fault when it comes to that. My reviews may not be popular but they are mine :)

I really liked this book! I liked Collide but was a bit turned off by the cliffhanger in the end. This book was the perfect ending/beginning for Gavin and Emily :) If I knew how to insert one of those flashy gif things I would do so now. Ok, I lied I wouldn't do that :)Gavin is a sweet, sexy, dream man for any woman and Emily actually grew a spine this time around. Well written and no cliffhanger this time around!

Azienda VinicolaFrati Bianchi Sparapanivia Barchio 12 60034 Cupramontana (An) tel. +39 0731 781216 firstname.lastname@example.com
Hermitage of the White Friars is surrounded by 60,000 square meters of natural, uncontaminated woods. Once an ancient monastic complex of Camaldolites, the Hermitage is an enchanted place, with grottoes carved out of the tufa rock, creating an atmosphere that preserves intact the magical aura of time and traditions. Here, a truly unspoiled natural environment was both recipient and watchful guardian of the prayers and work of the 'White Friars' who mainly devoted themselves to forest agronomy and agriculture, for centuries. From this place in which peace and silence reign, the neighboring farmers have inherited a love for tending grapevines. And it was this magical place which inspired the Sparapani family to produce great wines, the fruit of hard work and passion.
The grapes are harvested and brought into the winery only when they have reached the ideal degree of ripeness for each type of vinification process. Only the very best bunches of grapes can become part of a process that is founded on tradition and experience in managing the various phases, including processing and waiting, but which is also based on useful technology that can both enhance the primary and secondary characteristics of the Verdicchio and keep them unaltered over time. Modern technology provides a simpler and surer way to obtain results that, nevertheless, are dictated by the experience, the customary ways, the know-how of people who are dedicated and committed to excellence. Whether we are speaking of the actual vinification process, of the choice of timing for the various phases, or of the ageing for the more structured wines, this is the only way that we can achieve the most prestigious results from our grapes, working as a team.
The founder relies on old family traditions and secrets handed down from generation to generation; the business thrives on the family's work ethic and sets as its primary objective, quality without compromise. The 12 hectares of the estate, all planted with Verdicchio, do the rest. The Verdicchio is a white grape that is cultivated exclusively in the Marche region, with Cupramontana as its wine-growing capital. The vine is extremely generous, versatile and productive; the vinification is pure and the end products are fresh wines as well as more structured wines with greater longevity. The same grape can be used to produce sparkling wines, using both the Méthode Classique and the Charmat, always of great quality. The Sparapani vineyards benefit from an ideal microclimate, the right altitude and an especially favorable terroir. In addition to these natural features, the wine-growing process is further enhanced by a constant scientific control over all phases of grape ripening and by a careful selection that is guaranteed by hand-harvesting.
Fragrant, fruited, floral, with almond and citrus scents, soft, pleasantly balanced.
The labels.The Via Salerna was the old unpaved road that led from the center of Cupramontana towards the surrounding countryside, traversing the Sparapani vineyards. Shaded by elms and oaks that have stood the test of time, it rambles on today, alongside the vineyards and still blessed by the comforting profile of Monte San Vicino on the horizon. Its history is also the history of the Verdicchio.
First bottling: 1990 Area of production: Cupramontana (An) Altitude: 400 metres above sea level Vines planted: 1975 Size of vineyard: 2 hectares Grapes: 100% Verdicchio (native) Annual production: 10.000 bottles Harvest: manual Production: 6 months in steel containers Finish: 1 months in bottle Alcohol content: 13% Appearance: clear straw-yellow colour with green highlights, well-bodied Bouquet: presents the fruity, floral fragrances typical of Verdicchio, with a prevalence of acacia flowers, white fruit, star anise and hints of citrus and almond Taste: fresh citrus & floral flavours leading to a full coolness and a gentle softness, all well balanced. Smooth, refreshing and slightly mineral finish Accompanies: meat and fish.
Crystal clear, intense, complex, with fruited and floral sensations, enveloping and almondy.
First bottling: 1996 Area of production: Cupramontana (An) Altitude: 450 metres above sea level Vines planted: 1970 Size of vineyard: 5 hectares Grapes: 100% Verdicchio (native) Annual production: 20.000 bottles Harvest: manual, in crates Production: 6 months in steel containers Finish: 4 months in bottle Alcohol content: 13,5% Appearance: clear, intense straw-yellow with golden-green tones, strong and lively colour indicating good body Bouquet: intense and complex, encompassing scents of yellow-fleshed peaches and apricots, acacia flowers Taste: a beautifully structured taste that envelops the palate, soft impact with a cool return and good flavour with hints of citrus. A pleasant finish leaves traces of almond and a hint of saltiness Accompanies: entrees, meat, fish and cheese.
The labels. This label, hand-drawn by Cinzia Tonini, Giuseppe Sparapani's wife, is a synthesis of all the love of our land: there's the Prior of the old Hermitage which stands near our vineyards and which has passed on the culture of wine-growing and there's the familiar profile of Monte San Vicino looking down benevolently on the Verdicchio production zone.
The labels. Cloe Sparapani is the firstborn child of the third generation of the Sparapani wine-growers. Her birth brought not only immense joy, but also a jolt of life, for she is the inspiration behind the new great Verdicchio obtained from the best grapes and prized woods. Its character, already strong and noble, earned the title of 'Donna', as in 'Lady', for the "Lady Chloe" label.
First bottling: 2009 Area of production: Castellaro - Serra San Quirico (An) Altitude: 450 metres above sea level Vines planted: 1970 Size of vineyard: 5 hectares Grapes: 100% Verdicchio (native) Annual production: 1.300 bottles Harvest: manual, in crates Production: in 1000-litre oak barrels for 15 months Finish: 6 months in bottle Alcohol content: 14% Appearance: golden yellow Bouquet: smooth scents of essential oils of rosemary, bay and eucalyptus along with tones of dried fruit, almond, hazelnut, candied citrus and a delicate hint of vanilla Taste: exuberant, full and powerful with pronounced tones of apricot followed by a gentle hint of licorice root and a light tannin finish. Excellent for aging Accompanies: semi-mature cheese, roast white meats and mature cold-cuts.
Balsamic notes and essential oils, with rosemary and bay leaf scents, both exuberant and austere, surprisingly evolutionary.
Garnet, tending towards an intense ruby red, lively, consistent, with notes of ripe cherries, balanced and elegant.
The labels. This label of "Le Terre" shows a painting by Cinzia Tonini, Giuseppe Sparapani's wife, reproduces the earth-tone shades of the land in Autumn, when the blinding hues of Summer give way to a deeper and intense palette of colors. Green fades to yellow, brown takes on a reddish tinge and the vines are ready to yield their best fruits: it's harvest time!
First bottling: 2000 Area of production: Marche Altitude: 400 metres above sea level Vines planted: 1980 Size of vineyard: 2 hectares Grapes: 70% Montepulciano, 30% San Giovese Annual production: 5.000 bottles Harvest: manual Production: 12 months oak vats Finish: 3 months in bottle Alcohol content: 13% Appearance: deep burgundy red Bouquet: intense and fruity with hints of ripe cherries, morello cherries and plums with a light, spicy note and good body Taste: refined balance between smooth and silky tannins, full bodied with rich concentrated flavours, satisfying the palate with its structured elegance.

The labels. The fruited and fresh notes so typical of the Verdicchio, enhanced by the refermentation prescribed by the Charmat method which requires a long resting period on yeasts, are echoed in the rich and balanced design of this label where the coppery gold accents reflect the generosity and elegance of this refined Brut.

Of a lively straw yellow color, with a fine, persistent and abundant perlage,with scents of bread and ripe fruit.
The labels. In the Méthode Classique, the bottle is the heart of the refermentation and dosage that characterizes a Brut, acting as both a witness and interpreter of the quality of the grapes and of the producer's skill. The use of black and dark colors, accented by elegant, hot-laminated touches, make this label stand out and proffers a 'noble' air to the bottle, a fitting vessel for a great Brut.
Classification: sparkling white wine Area of production: Cupramontana (An) Altitude: 400 metres above sea level Cultivation: guyot and double arched curve Grapes: Verdicchio and Muscat Harvest: early, manual Vinification: soft pressing, cleaning of the must and fermentation at a controlled temperature.

A Brooklyn man was taken into police custody on the evening of Aug. 15 and charged in connection with the shooting death of a Muslim imam and his assistant, according to local authorities.
Oscar Morel was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the deaths of Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and his assistant, 64-year-old Thara Uddin.
Akonjee and Uddin were both shot in the back of the head shortly after leaving prayer services at Al-Furqan Jame Masjid Mosque in Ozone Park, Queens, on Aug. 13.
The execution-style killings—in what locals are calling a hate crime—left the highly-populated Bangladeshi community reeling.
"We pray here five times a day, we are scared, we need protection," one mourner told Al Jazeera. "He was dressed like a Muslim, this was a hate crime."
The police department refuted those claims.
"There is nothing in the preliminary investigation that would indicate they were targeted because of their faith," said New York police Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner on Sunday, reported CNN.
According to investigators, video footage showed the alleged assailant leave the crime scene in a black GMC Trailblazer. Officers then learned that on the same day the SUV was involved in a hit-and-run incident involving a cyclist in Brooklyn.
Investigators found the car parked on the street in the East New York section of Brooklyn and waited for the driver to appear. Once Morel appeared and was approached by detectives, he allegedly attempted to flee by ramming his truck into a police car.
Morel worked for the New School as a porter.
"While we are unable to comment on his arrest, we are cooperating fully with the authorities in this matter," the New School said in a statement, reported the New York Daily News.
Morel's motives for the killings are unknown.

Good product, much cheaper than the competition I ordered 2 embroidered t shirts for my business. the quality is good. there was an issue with compression marks which washed out fine. my issue was dealt with really well, my only complaint was the fact that there could have been a note in the package explaining that these marks were normal and washing would return the garment to its previous state. great service though. will be ordering again.

Great fast delivery, good choice of items.What I like is the choice of items, the layout of the website, and the fact that they do what they say.The items are delivered quickly.They even throw in the unexpected free gifts occasionally.Only complaint is that they use a courier system, and not the Post Office, at least if I am out I know where the parcel will be!

With the passing of time, memories become ghosts. They lurk in calendars. They live in photo albums. They rattle their chains in the details of stories told.
But are they real?
As my 35th birthday approached, I heard the rattle of chains in the distance. I began keeping the lights on in hopes that the date would pass without any of my ghosts making a cameo appearance.
I didn't do a very good job, however.
Today, my ghosts are many, and they are real.
Eleven year old boys aren't supposed to see their own names on tombstones, but that's the risk that comes with being a jr.
My early childhood was a dual existence in two cities with two sets of parents. Weekdays, my two sisters and I lived with our mother and step-father in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Each Friday, our step-mother would drive three hours round-trip to pick us up. We'd spend the weekends in Allentown with her and our father before heading back to Scranton.
Fridays were happy days. Sundays were not.
Sundays looked like this:
In many ways, I've been living a life of Sundays ever since. With each marvelous hug-filled hello has come a teary goodbye.
And then, another ghost rattles chains in stories to be told.
I talk about traveling to China but rarely mention the woman I travelled with.
Where's the old radio friend I helped find job after job? Her career is going well now. My phone hasn't rung in years.
I've had friends who thought I was an orphan because I never talked about my family at all. I intentionally lost touch with my family many years ago.
It's not the people - it's the memories. They are the ghosts that haunt me. I'd like to say I'd send them away if only I knew how, but really, I wouldn't.
I am, after all, the king of the silver lining... so here it comes.
Without my father, I might not know the true cost of poor decisions. In the end, his cost him his life.
Without that radio buddy I helped to find job after job, I might not know the effect one person can have on another. I gave without ever expecting anything in return, and though I could say I got nothing in return, it would be a lie. I got the satisfaction of helping someone I believed in achieve more than she'd ever dreamed of. And that's beautiful.
Without failed relationships, I might not know how beautiful love can be.
I can live with the ghosts.
But I struggle with the Sundays.
I've had enough endings to last a lifetime.

Bathing your Dog
I just published a good article on how to bathe your dog. With spring coming up, the timing is appropriate.
The article gives good instructions on the best way to bathe your dog, and do's and dont's.
I know that we'll be bathing all 5 of our dogs at some point in the next few weeks and that'll mean that all the dog beds, blankets and dog toys get washed at the same time so that everything is clean and smelling good.
Bath-day is a full-day job!

Do not settle. Never, ever settle. You'd always wonder and feel that you had short-changed yourself.
Don't let anyone treat you with disrespect, girl. Nobody.
You owe it to yourself to be happy. Do not 'manage', do not make-do. Life is so, so short. You owe yourself. Be happy, be fulfilled, go to bed at night daily, knowing you gave the best of yourself to that day.
People will always talk. Know what you want, so when they talk, you will not waver in your preferences.
Laugh, my darling. Take yourself very seriously, but remember to laugh. At yourself, in your situations.
Say an adamant 'NO' to half measures.
Do you remotely even understand how valuable you are?
Why then settle?

Silent walk
It was dark in the shores of hope
I could sense the apathy of the moon
And nonchalance of the waves
Gulping the sundry thoughts
Clouding every inch of rays
I am lost.
A hasty breeze seeps through
I stopped and gently inhale
While my eyes are at the horizon
I could feel the waters on my feet
Dripping my parched essence
I was one with the sea.
As the sky opened its broad jaw
I taste the sweet embrace of the waters
And throw a rare shell with all might
Took a picture perfect pose
And finally kissed the sand adieu
I saw the first light of dawn.

One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment
UNEP 2005, hardback $150
Posted: 28 September 2005
In celebration of the 2005 World Environment Day, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)launched this atlas in co-operation with NASA, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Maryland.
The 332-page hardbound Atlas discusses human influences on our Earth including changes in land use, biological diversity, and climate. It presents visual evidence of global environmental changes - both the good and the bad - resulting from natural processes and human-induced activities including those of the atmosphere, coastal areas, waters, forests, croplands, grasslands, urban areas, and tundra and Polar regions.
The Atlas demonstrates how our growing number of people and their consumption patterns are shrinking our natural resource base. The challenge is how do we satisfy human needs without compromising the health of ecosystems.
Access the Atlas on line at here or you may purchase a hard copy from www.earthprint.com.

Hooch IS Crazy: Notes on "The Killing" and Season Finales of "Cougar Town," "Happy Endings," "Modern Family," and "Chicago Code"
By Dustin Rowles | TV | May 31, 2011 |
By Dustin Rowles | TV | May 31, 2011 |
Last week was the final of the network television season, and there weren't enough episodes to justify a full Power Rankings. "Doctor Who" recaps will be back next week, after BBC America screwed over its American viewers by interrupting its run for Memorial Day, putting us a week behind the Brits (and Torrent users). The only other show of note not included below was "Game of Thrones." You can read TK's recap here.
The Killing: I don't begrudge the writers of "The Killing" the Bennet Ahmed storyline. It's important to the overall series; it creates tension on the political campaign and it put Mr. Larsen in the clink for nearly murdering the teacher. What I begrudge is that it took so long to resolve. Ahmed was introduced as a potential suspect early on -- the seed was planted as early as the pilot episode. It's taken 10 episodes to fully dismiss him as a suspect and move on to the more exciting prospect of a murderer closer to home. What's more remarkable is that the original Danish series, a huge hit on the BBC as well, was actually 20 episodes instead of the 13 on AMC. The investigation dragged on for seven more days? How many days did the investigation of the Ahmed equivalent last on that series? And how was it not completely exhausting for the viewers?
All the same, the investigation has finally found some momentum. The drama's biggest red herring, Belko, was more or less dismissed as a suspect this week. He felt, from the beginning, like the too-obvious culprit. Anytime Brendan Sexton III is cast, you feel like there's the potential that he could be up to no good. I wonder what it's like for him in real life? Do people go around pinning murders on him because he's Brendan Sexton III?
As far as my predicted murderer goes, that leaves the aunt, Terry Marek, as the chief suspect. Right now, the clues are trending either in that direction or in the direction of Darren Richmond, or an associate of his. What we do know is that someone emptied the Larsen bank account. Did Rosie know about and did someone kill her to cover it up? Or did Rosie empty it? Or, as JRo just reminded me, was the money removed to pay for the house that Stanley bought before the murder (almost certainly). And how does the casino play into the investigation. It's heady stuff, folks. Right now, my money is still on either Terry or, a potential dark horse candidate, the current mayor, who may have murdered Rosie to derail Richmond's campaign. If it's the latter, I will be disappointed. If it's Richmond, I will be outraged because the show will have successfully hoodwinked me.
Cougar Town: "Cougar Town" wrapped up its remarkably consistent second season this week with an hour-long finale, and it didn't take showrunner Bill Lawrence long to take to the Twitter to flog himself for the show's title again. The third season won't return until November, and in a less cushy time slot. Though Lawrence is pleased that the show is returning at all, you can definitely sense some tension in his Twitter remarks about the show, which hasn't gained the audience it possibly could have because the title itself is so alienating. Lawrence considered changing the name last season, and is again tossing around ideas. Hopefully, it's not too late for the show to gain some audience momentum on DVD or Hulu going into its third season, with or without a title change
Viewers have been slow to come around because of the title and because early episodes played into that premise. It has since found its groove as one of the best sitcoms on television. For those still under the misconception, "Cougar Town" is not about older women trying to bed younger men (at least, not after its fourth or fifth episode). It can be best described as "Friends" with alcohol, and it has a very similar vibe to Lawrence's last show, "Scrubs." Lawrence is probably hoping that a similar fate doesn't befall "Cougar Town": A marginally rated show with a strong cult audience that bounces around the schedule for years. On the bright side, "Cougar Town" may find a second audience on Comedy Central, as "Scrubs" has in recent years. The eventual residuals will undoubtedly put Lawrence in a good mood.
The finale itself brilliantly called back to an earlier episode of "Community," as Danny Pudi's Abed appeared as a background character drinking a fountain soda from Subway, as he had described in his birthday/My Dinner with Andre episode of "Community." And speaking of "Scrubs," Ted Buckland also made an appearance in this episode, which was filmed on the same set that the "Scrubs" Hawaii-set seventh season finale was filmed. It was great to see Ted again, and he even brought his musical talents along, turning fast-beat pop songs into ballads (notably, "Love Shack"). It was dispiriting, however, to discover that Gooch had left him for Hooch. But seldom has a line in a sitcom elicited as big a fist bump as did Ted's, "Hooch is crazy."
Hooch is crazy.
Modern Family: "Modern Family" ended its second season on a down note, celebrating the birthday of Jay, the family patriarch. The episode fell into a similar pattern as most of this second season. The characters are broadening, losing their emotional identities, and the sweet moments no longer feel as sweet as they once did. It's a consistent performer, but the yuks have been harder to come by. While it has the highest ratings among network comedies, the buzz isn't nearly as loud as it is for lower-rated shows with more passionate fanbases, like "Parks and Recreation," "Community," and even "Cougar Town" and the upstart, "Happy Endings." But like "The Office," "Modern Family" has found a broader audience at the expense of its characters and quality.
Happy Endings: Speaking of "Happy Endings," that sitcom ended its first half-season on a high note, recovering from the two chronologically misplaced episodes last week. It came full circle, ending the season as it began, with a wedding. Alex, who began the season ditching Dave at the altar, started romantically inching her way back to him, but the show's star couple continues to be Adam Pally's bro-gay Max and Casey Wilson' slapstick spinster, Penny, although Brad (Damon Wayans, Jr.) and Jane (Eliza Couple) are not too far behind. Typically sitcoms hit their peaks during their second and third seasons, and if "Happy Endings" manages to improve on its first season, it may compete with "Parks and Recreation" next year for the networks' best comedy.
Chicago Code: Shawn Ryan's excellent cop drama on Fox also ended its season and, most likely, its series run, although Ryan has mentioned shopping the show around to other networks. For twelve and a half episodes, "Chicago Code" was one of the better dramas on network television, but I thought it faltered in the end. I understand the episode was in the can before news of the show's cancellation came down, but the finale felt rushed. The documents that ultimately put away Alderman Gibbons away seemed tacked on, a quick and all-too-convenient way to wrap up a season that had been smoldering. The show did, however, cap its run with a poignant musical montage, a recurring device that Shawn Ryan has used in other shows.
I don't give the show much hope in landing on another network, despite ratings on Fox that would make it one of the higher rated cable shows, but I do hope to see Jason Clarke land on his feet, hopefully even in another cop show. Matt Lauria, I understand, has already booked another role as recurring and potentially series regular on "Burn Notice."

Agudelo, Marisela
Title: Vice Chair, Department of Immunology and Nano-Medicine, Assistant Professor
Office: AHC1 419-A; Lab AHC1 433
Phone: 305-348-6503; 305-348-4495
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Department(s): Immunology and Nano-Medicine
Dr. Agudelo is an early career investigator who completed her graduate training in the field of immunology studying cannabinoid-induced immune dysregulation under the mentorship of Dr. Thomas Klein at the University of South Florida. Dr. Agudelo joined FIU in 2009 to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Madhavan Nair, where she gained experience on the neuro-immunological mechanisms of substance abuse and HIV disease progression. Currently, Dr. Agudelo is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Immunology at the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and principal investigator of NIAAA funded project (R00AA021264). Ongoing research in Dr. Agudelo's laboratory aims to elucidate the effects of alcohol abuse on human dendritic cells which are pivotal antigen presenting cells of the innate immune system. Overall, the major goal of this project is to study the epigenetic mechanisms of alcohol effects on dendritic cells and the role of histone deacetylases and cannabinoid genes in the alcohol-induced immuno-regulatory process in a cohort of alcohol abusers from South Florida. Dr. Agudelo's lab team is currently composed of a graduate student, a postdoctoral fellow, laboratory technician, a NIGMS RISE fellow, and two undergraduate research assistants. In addition, the lab provides training to minority students and host state of the art single cell imaging flow cytometry (FlowSight®) equipment, which has the capability of integrating flow cytometry and microscopy. Additional research initiatives and collaborations in Dr. Agudelo's lab are highlighted below:
- Collaboration and pilot project funded by the Southern HIV and Alcohol Research Consortium (SHARC) to study the regulation of cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoid levels, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying HIV infection and heavy alcohol abuse.
- Collaboration as research co-director of the Florida Science Training and Research (STAR) Fellowship, which aims to retain underrepresented in medicine undergraduate students by supporting and involving them in research, clinical, and community experiences. [CPIMP151112 (PI: Cheryl Brewster)]
- Collaboration as co-investigator of the NIDA funded project to develop a nano-carrier to deliver methanandamide across the BBB to block cannabinoid induced effects in HIV infection and eventually eradicate HIV reservoirs. [R01DA040537 (PI: Nair)].
Research Interests
Dr. Agudelo's research studies aim to elucidate the consequences of alcohol and cannabinoid abuse on the immune and central nervous systems. Below is an overview:
Alcohol Abuse: According to NIAAA, approximately 18 million Americans suffer from alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Although it is well known that alcohol interferes with immune functions; and as a result, alcoholics may be more susceptible to infections, to date, one of the least appreciated medical consequences of AUDs is their effects on the immune system leading to a growing demand for more effective treatments and research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of alcohol-induced immune modulation. Therefore, Dr. Agudelo's research aims to elucidate the effects of alcohol abuse on human dendritic cells which are pivotal antigen presenting cells of the innate immune system. Overall, the major goal of this project is to study the epigenetic mechanisms of alcohol effects on the immune system and the role of histone deacetylases and cannabinoid genes in the alcohol-induced immunoregulatory process. This research project is supported by NIAAA, R00AA021264.
Cannabinoid Abuse: In recent years, many adolescents have been abusing a popular alternative to marijuana called K2/spice, which is made of a mixture of synthetic cannabinoids. Many of the adverse effects of these compounds are due to their actions on the central nervous system (CNS); however, little is known about the neurological and inflammatory effects of abusing these synthetic compounds; therefore, Dr. Agudelo's research aims to elucidate the effects of synthetic cannabinoids on immune and CNS cells and elucidate how these compounds affect neuro-immune interactions and the blood brain barrier.

St. Helens forest "do over"
You can still observe the devestated forest left by the volcanic "blast" of 1980, but the new forest is rapidly hiding the all as it does well with the ash enriched soil.
Early Friday morning 8.21.09 headed for the Twin Creek Falls camp, to meet a gathering of flickr friends, organized by Starlisa. I saw elk along the road and took FR 25 as my chosen route, which would take me along the waterfalls of the Lewis River. I decided to take a short side drive up to Windy Ridge to see if I could see Mt. St. Helens, up through the clouds and/or Spirit Lake, down through the clouds. It wasn't to be. I was the only vehicle at the Windy Ridge "viewpoint" and I was completely surrounded by clouds, mist and wind. To tell you the truth, I enjoyed the experience. I took some photos in the brief moments when I broke through the cloud layer, of the amazing recovery that has taken place in the area. The views of the matchstick downed timber from the 1980 blast have almost disappeared under "new forest life", the way it should be. So after I took a few photos of the fireweed, and new forest at St. Helens, I headed for the Lewis River.
Thursday August 20th:
1. Took a challenging cross country hike to a beautiful set of waterfalls on Walupt Creek, where it enters the Cispus River. The hike was not long but required some nasty bushwhacking (most I found on my way out, could be avoided); a steep descent (I took the wrong way into the canyon and my route was MUCH steeper than it need to be).
Friday August 21st
2.I drove up early in the morning to Windy Ridge to see if I might bet a peak "up" at Mt. St. Helens or a peak "down" at Spirit Lake. Fogged in completely, a bust. It is amazing though how the entire area is growing back. The down timber that use to be so impressive to view, that was laying on the ground like matchsticks, pointed away from the Mt. St. Helens "blast" are quickly disappearing as "new life" takes over and covers the area.
3.I continued on down Forest Service Road 25 and then up Forest Service Road 90 to take a lot more waterfalls photos a long the way. Most involved just a short hike. Some like the Lower Falls of the Lewis River; I had visited many times before. Others like Big Creek; Middle Lewis; Upper Lewis; and Twin Falls Creek - - I viewed for the first time.
4.Starlisa, a flickr photographer, had done a masterful job of organizing a get together at a non-fee, secluded camp site on the upper Lewis River, across the river from where Twin Falls Creek falls, jumps into the river. A truly lovely place to camp. I felt honored to be invited on this get together. Seven flickr folks showed up (plus Starlisa's dog, Rio). I had never met any of the other six, so it was truly a great experience. Three of us, who arrived at the rendezvous, visited a short while with the group, then headed on home. Four set up tents and planned to spend Friday night at the site. Thank you Darlisa!
5.I left the flickr group at 5 pm and returned to Randle via Forest Roads 90 and 23. I took a short four mile round trip detour to get "fading light" photos across Takhlakh Lake of Mt. Adams. I got back to my home in Eastern Washington at 9 pm Friday night, with a few mosquito bites, a little darker tan, a few bushwhacking cuts, AND a ton of great memories of beautiful places seen and nice people met.
A couple of those little happenings on a trip like this that will always stick fondly in the memory bank.
The Italians: A mother and son from Italy were taking the "back way" (to say the least), from Portland to make their way to the Olympic peninsula. They actually put faith in their rental car's voice navigation system and ended up ACROSS from the Flickr camp, with a flat tire and completely lost, without map or any idea how to get out of where they were. The mother spoke good English but her son did not. Praise to the flickr encampment folks, who worked with the lady (and gave her a map), so they could make their way back to "civilization".
The Weenie dog:At Takhlakh Lake, there was an assortment of people "using" the lake for recreation. There were a couple of swimmers; a fly fisherman with flippers fishing from a float tube; canoes; a young mother wading out in the lake with her grinning young child; AND a kayak, with the most smug weenie dog "kayak navigator", you can imagine. Not many things make me laugh out loud, but the sight of the weenie dog, ears flapping in the wind, in the front of that kayak, was more than I could handle.
Now some stuff for you "detail" type people:

Reflections from the President
We are looking for 7,000 new sailors this year. Newcomers will discover sailing because of you, our members, who are wildly-passionate about being on the water and in the wind.
Every sailor I know still gets a child-like, ice cream eating grin while retelling that really great day in the boat, even if the story is from 30 years ago. You relish the chance to share your great outdoor experience with the uninitiated. Sure, it's a different task to sail your boat with rookies instead of your usual crack crew. But we have all seen the happy sailor smile appear on the first-timer's face. It's a validation of our own enjoyment. There is a thrill to be part of introducing a young person or an adult friend to our sport. Share the passion of sailing!
Any boat, any venue, any format will do. One thing I urge is that you not push people into racing before they are ready. It's a rare new driver who is ready for navigating the expressway at 70 in heavy traffic. I doubt there is anyone who did a slalom race their first day on skis. Or if they did, did they ever come back? Some people compete all day at work, so they want an escape from competition. While many of us are Type A competitive people, we all like not to be thrown in over our heads, made to feel inept, or injured from a misstep. Oh, and need I mention, no yelling. Take some new people out for a good time, show them your sailing lifestyle in a new-user friendly way. Outside, fun, social – nail it!
You have done your bit on day one and now your "baby" sailor needs to grow. US Sailing trains nearly 2,000 sailing instructors every year adding to the thousands already certified. One of them is working in a club or sailing center or keelboat school near you. You can supplement, reinforce and encourage. Share your story about learning the sport. It must be a good story because you are still in the game. And please make sure your newborn sailor understands that US Sailing has a training program for every facet of the sport, casual racer to international contender, sailing facility director to top gun race officer or judge.
US Sailing, we do training to support and grow your sport.
Thank you and I'll see you on the water.
Tom Hubbell
President of US Sailing

John 3:14-21 American Standard Version (ASV)
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; 15 that whosoever [a]believeth may in him have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. 18 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For every one that [b]doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be [c]reproved. 21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, [d]that they have been wrought in God.
