Train depot preservation group to meet March 25
Published on Thu, Mar 19, 2009 by

"Our immediate goal is to save the Blaine train depot by working with both the city of Blaine and the Port of Bellingham to move the building to Plover Park where it will become the Waterfront Station, a multi-purpose community venue," said Janet Pickard, president of the newly formed non-profit Blaine Coalition for Historic Preservation. The group's next meeting is set for Wednesday, March 25, at 6 p.m. at the Blaine Library.
It was 100 years ago last Sunday, March 15, that a crowd of several hundred Blaine residents gathered around that same building to welcome the first passenger train through on Blaine's "waterfront cut-off," a route that skirted the so-called Hazelmere Grade, the last major roadblock to shipping bigger volumes of freight by rail between Vancouver and Chicago.
"This will take the whole community working together," said Pickard, a Blaine resident since 1989, "because it's a magnificent structure and we want to do a first class job."
She said that the group, which has drawn its primary membership from both Drayton Harbor Maritime and the Salishan neighborhood Association, hopes to recruit architects, wood workers and other professionals to restore the building to better than new condition for use near where the public restrooms now sit next to the public boat launching ramp on Milhollin Drive.
"This isn't the kind of thing that can be done by a bunch of people with hammers and saws. We want to preserve this building as an historic artifact that has a very appropriate contemporary use, something that when first put into use was a big deal for Blaine," she said. The structure became a symbol for development in Blaine's early days.
A 1909 account in the Blaine Journal said that "A fine depot has been constructed on the waterfront at the foot of F street at a cost of approximately $8,500. This structure is 32 x 167 feet, steam heated throughout, including finely appointed offices for both the immigration and customs officials. The work of construction and the outlay required on this new cut-off in the city of Blaine represents an investment of about $500,000 by the Great Northern Railroad company." That's the same amount as current estimates to move and refurbish the building for public use.
The original building had gables at each end, but the south 70 feet or so of the structure was lost to a fire that left it with about 3,100 square feet and only one gable on the north end. It's made of locally cut and milled old-growth fir and maple. Technically, the area where the railroad stops for loading or maintenance is the station and the structure itself is the station's depot. The Journal story added that the railroad was considering putting in a 12-stall roundhouse adjacent to the new line but this was never done.
The cut-off replaced the original main line that ran through Blaine along the east side of Yew Street, where sections of the old grade can still be seen, through the present day Blaine school campus and along Eighth Street. North of the border it gained and lost about 300 feet in less than a mile on the Hazelmere Grade that is crossed today by Highway 15 between 16 and 32 Avenues. Despite access to downtown Vancouver provided by a government built bridge across the Fraser at New Westminster in 1904, the grade and unstable ground around it still prevented Hill from shipping heavy freight east from Vancouver Island, which in effect also limited the amount of local freight that could be shipped out.
Hill got around this by building a rail ferry terminal at Ladner and running the new line east around Mud Bay and along the beach around the White Rock Peninsula to Blaine, providing a flat and solid roadbed, a lot of it on beachfront trestles.
It opened 100 years ago last Sunday, March 15, after the last northbound passenger train came through on the old route at 5 a.m. When it left the furniture and records, from the depot and a U.S. Immigration office it also housed, were loaded into cars and taken to the new depot.
A southbound freight rattled through town on the new route unheralded at 8:30 in the morning, but two hours later a southbound passenger train arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule to be greeted by a brass band and a crowd of 1,500 people. All the passengers and crew were awarded badges and certificates by city authorities.
"The opening of the new cut-off was an event of great importance to Blaine and is given the credit for being the most important occurrence in the history of the city," the Journal said. Transportation was seen as a key to local development, this coming at a time when the local fishery was vibrant and nearly 900 men were employed producing almost 5 million shingles a day at Whatcom County's 53 shingle mills.
"[Building the depot and cut-off] was the final consummation of a promise made over two years ago by representatives of the Great Northern Railway when the vacation of several streets was asked for in order to extend the line around the waterfront," the Journal article stated, as if to imply that was the reason the depot had been built several years before the grade was finished.
Pickard said that in addition to restoring the building to the way it once looked, an excellent example of local construction using local materials, it will provide Blaine with a much-needed community space for such things as large meetings, weddings and other activities as well as become a site for the Plover to land, connecting Semiahmoo with downtown via the planned boardwalk that will cross the tracks just east of the building's planned location.
"Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) wants to put in a third track, and has sold us the building for $1 if we move it," she said, "and even though it's expensive, as far as we're concerned we can't afford not to do this. We don't want to wake up one day to find it gone."
For more information contact Pickard at 332-3504 or e-mail her at email@example.com.

"I didn't come here because my mom went here. I came here for me. But by coming here, I found her. And when I found her, I found myself."
When she began the process of transferring from the College of Charleston to Randolph College, Marian van Noppen '12 was more interested in Randolph College's academics and affordability than the fact that her mother had attended the College.
"That wasn't the reason I came here," Marian said. "But once I was here, it was like a void was being filled in my life that had been empty for a long time," she said. "I didn't know I'd find a home. I didn't know I'd find a part of my mother that I didn't know existed."
Marian's mother, Kathy Davison '77, died unexpectedly when Marian was just 6 years old. Marian had heard about the College from her mother, and later from her mother's friends. When she wanted to transfer to another school, her family encouraged her to visit Randolph College. During their visit, Marian and her father Hays asked the Admissions Office if there might be someone around who knew Kathy. In the Casey Alumnae House, Lorraine Potter '75, assistant alumnae director for programming, picked up the phone.
Fate stepped in.
"I couldn't believe it when she said that my mother was her first year," Marian said. "My mother lived across the hall from her and gave Lorraine her ring. It was just bizarre but also wonderful having that connection."
Lorraine Potter '75 and Marian van Noppen '12 look at old copies of her mother's yearbooks.
Marian spent hours with Lorraine poring over old yearbooks and hearing new stories about her mother. Today, she works in the Alumnae House and treasures the moments when she feels her mother is with her.
Kathy Davison '77
In her room, Marian keeps a black and white picture of her mother as a senior.
"I didn't come here because my mom went here," Marian said. "I came here for me. But by coming here, I found her. And when I found her, I found myself."
During the first weeks of school, Marian was overwhelmed with reminders of her mother. In old yearbooks, she saw photos of her mother walking in front of buildings she passed herself everyday. She even found a picture of her mother smiling while perched on the Odd Tree.
"After feeling disconnected all these years from someone who was supposed to be a major force in my life, it felt really good to come here and finally find that connection," she said.
"My mom has always been a big part of my life through memories and through the memories other people have of her," Marian added. "Now I feel as connected with her as I ever will. I feel like I've found another home. And it's not just her place. It's my place, too."
Marian is already making her mark at Randolph College. She plans to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and study theatre.
"It's amazing that I can get a degree like this from a small college instead of having to go to a conservatory."
Marian dreams of going into film, whether that turns out to be acting or producing or both. She had one of the leads in the College's fall musical, "Rocky Horror Show."
She has also been nominated to compete for the Irene Ryan Scholarship at the Kennedy Center.
Marian also plans to follow her mother's footsteps to Reading, England, to study next year in the College's "World in Britain" program. Her desire is to study theatre in England, and she cannot wait to share what she knows was a pivotal experience in her mother's life. She has already had tea and scones with Paul Irwin, director of the Reading program, math professor, and yet another connection. Irwin taught Marian's mother calculus.
"I heard so many stories about this school from my mom and her friends," Marian remembered. "She went to Reading, and my granddad made her save up all her money for her travels. I can't wait to be in the same house she lived in. I can't wait to see what she saw."
Potter sees glimpses of Kathy in Marian.
"Kathy was a fun, enthusiastic, caring person, and I see that in Marian," she said.
"I see that same intensity. She seems to have found a home here very quickly—just like her mom. I think Kathy would have loved that she is here because Kathy loved being here.
"I think it's good for Marian to make her own place and to connect with her mom," Potter added. "The things she will treasure about this place will be the same things her mom treasured, and that will bring her closer to knowing her mom. When you lose someone at such a young age, you don't know what is story and what is memory. She'll have a better feeling of both now."
Just a semester into her journey at Randolph College, Marian is learning why her mom was so proud of the College. But she is also intent on making her own memories of Randolph College.
"I've met some of the best friends I've ever had," Marian said. "This school has really taught me so much already. You talk to everyone. You smile and wave. They told me when I first came here that you won't be a number, and everyone is their own individual person. And they were right. Here, you accept people for who they are. It's a family, and that's one of the best things."
Marian's father and other family members have seen her change since arriving at Randolph College.
"I see her more settled into her life at this point than she has been in the past," Hays van Noppen said.
"I think it's good for her to get in touch with herself. From the time her mother died, Marian hasn't really been truly at home in the world. Until recently. I think that gravitation to that home is all about her finding herself and accepting herself for who she is.
"Connecting with her mother, and being where her mother was, has to be significant and helpful to her," he added. "I can't imagine what that is like. I think the whole experience has been like going back in time for her. A mystique if you will. It's something you only experience once or twice in your life."
Potter is grateful to have her own connection to Kathy through Marian.
"I think of our campus as this unbroken circle," Potter said. "Getting to know Marian is a reminder of that circle. We carry on, we move on, but there are so many things at this College that remain the same. Marian is walking the brick walkways just as her mom did, but she is finding her own path here.
"As my freshman, Kathy put me through the paces on Ring Night," she added, remembering the longstanding tradition of scavenger hunts and other antics between first-year students and their juniors during Ring Week.
"But as I mopped Main Hall after proposing to all the Pinkerton guards, I was the happiest junior on campus. Thirty-five years ago, Kathy gave me my ring. Now I feel it is as if she has given me a daughter."

I have to admit, I'm more surprised than usual about the reaction to Man of Steel. Most of the time critical responses to highly anticipated movies are somewhat predictable; The Great Gatsby is going to generate a lot of bile, as is anything from M. Night Shyamalan, and people will be pleased even just with the fact that there are new installments of the Fast and Furious and Star Trek franchises. I expected anything with Christopher Nolan's name attached to it would be a guaranteed home run. At the very least, I thought reactions would range from "good" to "Dark Knight good."
Not so. Despite the few and proud voices (Jonathan Lack's wonderful review gushes pure bliss) who were, like me, completely floored by Zack Snyder's reboot of the Superman story, the movie currently holds a 59% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metacritic rating of 55. That's a lot of people who did not find it super in the least. The reviews are so split that in a lot of instances it's as if writers had screened completely different movies. One critic will cite a particular scene as why Man of Steel got everything about Superman perfectly right, while another will cite the exact same scene, the exact same details, and use it as evidence that Snyder and company got everything about Superman entirely wrong. So since apparently people can't even agree on what Superman is, maybe this whole enterprise was doomed to a split decision from the critical community.
Here are 5 reasons why people seem to be very divided in their reactions to Man of Steel. I'll restrict spoilers to points #4 and 5—be warned!
Continue reading on the next page…
1) Zack Snyder is always divisive
I mean, this is the guy who directed Sucker Punch. He's not exactly in the business of crafting universal crowd-pleasers. His bold style, which really caught people's attention upon the release of 300, looks cool. Surely people can agree on this point at least. The use of color and motion in his movies is a compellingly novel way of visual storytelling. I guess where the disagreement lies is whether its coolness is effective enough to sustain over the course of an entire film, or filmography. Whether something that looks cool is interesting on its own or whether people become bored with the look and feel of his action and want to move on to something else to pique their interest (even though he's the one accused of having ADD!).
Zack Snyder has thus accumulated something of a reputation, an identity that has become pronounced in a way that makes his name inseparable from the movies that bear it. And that's unfortunate, because Man of Steel is a rather remarkable departure from, or progression of, the style he has come to be known for. Yes, the movie is big—it's probably the biggest spectacle of a movie we'll get for some time—but strikes a completely different visual chord than his previous collaborations with cinematographer Larry Fong. And there are some real delicate moments that the movie makes a special effort (much like our hero) to focus in on even though there's chaos and information flying all around. Its stylistic decision-making will be far more heavily scrutinized than if it were by a director considered to adhere to that false dichotomy of function over form.

2) It's a bit cold and unsentimental
I would frame this as one of the movie's virtues: that, similar to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Man of Steel has a distinct interest in a certain kind of realism. In this case, it's a realism in the interest paid to the psychology of an alien isolated on a new planet, a realism in what cosmic battles between god-like creatures would look and feel like on Earth, and a realism in trying to visually depict a legitimate threat to humanity's global existence.
People have objected that they expect a Superman movie to be fun to watch, and this one doesn't deliver that in the style they would have hoped for. They would have liked it to be more about emotions, characters and ideas rather than spectacle and existential crisis. But I think even these subjective preferences can be reconfigured by grasping the intended tone and purpose of this movie. The central hero is a figure who is incredibly isolated, alienated as it were, in the world but not of it, and the movie takes on this personality in its style. What would seem more psychologically absurd would be to see Kal-El fit seamlessly into the human world rather than taking a significant amount of time to adjust physically, mentally and emotionally. And yet his relationship with Jonathan and Martha Kent is tremendously touching, and remarkably subtle. Likewise, his encounters with Lois Lane feel genuine rather than oversaturated with romance. If this is an origin story, Clark Kent is still maturing up until the end of this chapter. It will be interesting to see if the tone of the story matures and grows warmer as he does.

3) It has more of a kinship to The Avengers than The Dark Knight
This was the biggest surprise to me when I saw Man of Steel, and one that took me some time to fully grasp. Fans of Christopher Nolan have certain expectations for anything he's involved with, and so I was anticipating, as I'm sure many others did, something of an heir to the Dark Knight franchise. And in a way it is. In the same way that Batman was reimagined for a contemporary world and current cinematic sensibilities in Batman Begins, this film does the same thing for Superman. It's just that Superman is really, really different from Batman.
I'm not a comic fanatic or a Superman enthusiast or any sort of expert on the subject compared to countless others on the internet; my familiarity extends as far as the cinematic representations of these characters. But Batman seems like it ought to be more about ideas and moral quandaries and technological solutions to impossible problems. He's just a dude. Superman seems to have much more in common with god-like characters, the supernatural likes of Thor or the Hulk or Doctor Manhattan. These types of characters face an entirely different set of dilemmas, don't they? Not only are they different; they're bigger. So while Batman fights to preserve Gotham, Superman's literally trying to save the entire world, even though the villain has targeted him in his hometown. These cosmic consequences and quasi-divine characters result in a hero that's elusive rather than relatable, and grand scale rather than intensely focused. But you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger. Once I grasped the Superman-ness of this movie's scope, everything fit together perfectly.

4) People are invested in their own version of Superman
*Again, I'm going to start addressing some spoilers now. Beware.*
Because Superman's story has been around so long, people have had a lot of time to develop attachments to their favorite versions and their own personal idea of what Superman is. Any depiction that diverges from that perception, for many, is not Superman, and therefore not just a different interpretation of the character but a wrong interpretation. I suppose a character that is so steeped in hope and idealism and is essentially a deity would carry with him a certain sacred status.
I've been reading arguments about two pivotal moments in Man of Steel. There's the scene where (did I mention I'm spoiling things right here?) Jonathan Kent dies in front of Clark and Martha's eyes, because Jonathan insists Clark not save him so as to preserve the concealment of his true identity. Then there's the moment at the conclusion of the Superman-Zod showdown: Superman snapping Zod's neck. Many are outraged at the fact that Superman would kill a villain to save innocent lives. Others believe that the moment with Jonathan rang false, that his sacrifice was unnecessary and illogical. Then there are those that think both are completely consistent with the Superman character, who has killed in the past, and who wanted to demonstrate the trust and love he had for his adopted father. I'm less concerned with which of these positions possesses more merit than I am with why folks are so intent on their own conception of what Superman would do in any given situation. Instead of discussing the character's decisions, whether Clark should have saved his father, whether he could have found another way to save the people Zod was threatening, people are discussing the filmmakers' decision to tell the story this way. And that's a result of the (understandable) sense of ownership fans have over this character and his story. Which brings me to my final point.

5) Maybe attempts to depict Superman on film just can't possibly please everyone
Superman is a symbol of an ideal. He is an embodiment of virtue. He is Jesus Christ in superhero form, as many have pointed out through the years (Bryan Singer's Superman Returns lays the religious imagery on even heavier than this version). Ideals and virtues by their nature are abstract, ethereal, spiritual, disembodied; thus, any attempt to make them concrete renders them imperfect. If Superman is supposed to be perfect, and people equate him in their minds with perfection, anything less than a perfect representation of their own personal imagining of him will be a disappointment, and since that is virtually impossible save for the artist that is responsible for representing him, perhaps he's just a character that can't be portrayed in a way that is satisfactory for all viewers. Division over ideals is inevitable.
Then again, anything is unfilmable until someone successfully films it. While Zack Snyder's retelling of the Superman story worked wonders for me and many others, its interest in spectacle and mood did not align with the desires of a lot of people. And that's fine. The only objection I have to people writing about how much they didn't care for Man of Steel is when they contend that the movie is somehow objectively bad because it didn't correspond with the movie they were hoping for, the Superman they wanted to see, or the experience they had craved. The nature of the character seems to expose people's notion of an ideal movie, and maybe ideals in general, and the more specific a person is in their ideals, the more they set themselves up to fall short. To me, Superman is the embodiment of people's projections of perfection, and in that respect, Man of Steel soars. It's really unlike any movie anyone has made before; the argument seems to be over whether that's a good or a bad thing.Previous

At the height of the Great Famine in the 1840s, as tens of thousands of Irish immigrants poured into Boston, the Rev. John McElroy embarked on a dream to establish a Jesuit college where sons of Irish immigrants could receive a Catholic education.
McElroy, pastor of St. Mary's Church in the North End, faced fierce anti-Catholic sentiment. But he persisted, and in 1863 obtained a charter for a new school in the South End. As "pious revenge" for the city's resistance, he named it Boston College.

Design Ecologies Symposium: the ill defined niche
Royal College of Art, London 25th November 2011
'The talk was one of several (Shaun Murray, Nic Clear, Donald Smith, Chris Speed) that collectively articulated instability of practice or representation in a context of complexity and ungrounded disciplines of cultural production and technological duration. Slippages of meaning, deluges of technological complexity and shifting ecologies of value, relevance and engagement accumulate to reveal the "Ill Defined Niche" of contemporary practice. However, this "ill definition" is not a negative insecurity, but rather can be seen as a positive catalyst of complex and contingent configurations of practising. Practices that form projections of work that confront an absence of conventional locations of "meaning" and escape the artificial security of convention and instead expose work to the mess and complexity of the real.' Felix Robbins (an architectural project)
Shaun Murray, November 2011

I have been into photography since I was a kid, but 2 years ago switched from shooting architecture and landscapes to shooting beautiful women. I also changed this from a hobby to a business, and presently shoot stills and video for various adult websites. I still shoot snapshots on holiday of course, but apart from this my photography is purely my part-time profession. I love the flexibility of being my own boss and working with with the many different personalities who exist in the modelling world.
Currently I try to get one day a month in the studio. I have been shooting pictures for longer than most models have been alive
Based in Suffolk, I have been shooting images featuring the beauty of the female form since 2000. Willing to work with new and established models. Now shooting all levels and offering portfolios, web and print content, photosets and much more.
Experienced award winning and published Photographer specialising in all aspects of Female Photography from portraiture to weddings, figure to fantasy.
I am a very experienced and have worked for many national and international magazines. My work tends to be erotic and artistic. It tends to be very colourful and there is always a strange or surreal thing happening.

I recommend the entire article, but this part is especially worth quoting.
Jesus never said, "The Kingdom of God is like a church service that goes on and on forever and never ends." He said the kingdom was like a homecoming celebration, a wedding, a party, a feast to which all are invited.
This idea was too radical for the religious leaders of his day. They were more concerned about etiquette, manners, traditions and religious rituals than about partying with Jesus. And that's why they missed out.
That's why we miss out.
According to Jesus, the truly spiritual life is one marked by freedom rather than compulsion (John 8:36), love rather than ritual (Mark 12:30-33) and peace rather than guilt (John 14:27). Jesus saves us from the dry, dusty duties of religion and frees us to cut loose and celebrate.
I don't believe we'll ever recognize our need for the light until we've seen the depth of the darkness. So God wasn't afraid to get down and dirty with us about life and temptation and forgiveness. And grace.

Scot looking forward after signing off season with a goal.
Steven Naismith
Steven Naismith was pleased to end his maiden Everton season with a goal.
The Scot was recalled to the Blues side which lost 2-1 at Chelsea and provided a well-taken first-half strike.
Speaking afterwards the former Rangers forward explained there is more to come from him next term after a season of recovery and readjustment.
He told evertontv: "I have played more games and started more games than I thought.
"The quality in the squad is really high. Coming back from injury and moving to a new club are big things for a footballer and I am happy with the amount I have played.
"I have not played anywhere near my best but hopefully I can keep in good shape over the summer, come back and have a good pre-season and push on."
Naismith agreed with his compatriot and now former manager David Moyes that Everton deserved a point from their final Premier League game of the campaign.
He continued: "The boys put on a great show, knocked the ball about well in the first half and probably dominated the first 45 minutes.
"It was great to get a start. Probably in the last few months I have not played as much as I would have liked but the team have been playing well and I have probably not shown enough to get a start.
"So it was a wee bit of a surprise to get the start today but the manager gave me a chance.
"I could have possibly had a couple more - I had a couple of chances - but the ball broke to me and I took a good touch with my right and put it over the goalie."
To hear what Naismith had to say about Moyes' final week in charge, watch the video above*.

VIRGINIA BEACH—Dozens of moms are showing their support for the right to breast feed in public.
"One mom gets harassed, bullied or embarrassed in public so we all come together to support her," Candy Thompson explained.
The attention comes after a woman in Texas says a store manager harassed her for breast feeding her baby. In response, moms in Virginia Beach planned a "nurse in." The ladies organized outside the Hollister store in the Lynnhaven mall.
"In this country that we live in, everything is so sexualized. We shouldn't belittle someone for doing something that's so natural," Danielle Owens remarked.
The women who showed up nursed their babies outside the store. They hope to educate folks about breast feeding. "As moms we just want to do the very best for our children, and for a lot of us that's breastfeeding."

East Bremerton video game bandits nabbed
Two Bremerton men suspected of assaulting a man while trying to steal a video game console from his garage were booked into jail Tuesday.
The victim, 20, who discovered the men in his garage holding a Wii, rushed and wrestled one of the suspects while the suspect pointed a pistol at him, according to a statement from the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
The suspects were able to free themselves and assaulted the man, the statement said.
Deputies were called to the house on the 3000 block of Corfu Blvd. Northeast, in East Bremerton, around 4:21 p.m. While talking to the victim, a deputy discovered the suspects parked near the Illahee Dock off of Illahee Road Northeast.
The two were booked into Kitsap County jail for investigation of first-degree robbery.

General notes
Weather and navigation.
The prudent sailor never casts off with the assumption that Nelson was right when he said 'there are three excellent harbours in the Med: Mahon, July and August'. Strong winds, cold fronts, thunderstorms and squalls must be expected at any month, even if they are of course less common in summer. True, safe havens, coves and bays abound along the Dalmatian coastline, and the endless channels provide smooth sailing even in strong winds. But nevertheless some cons must be reported. First of all some anchorages look bottomless. So always make sure that you are leaving with a long and heavy anchor chain, a serious spare anchor, possibly a fisherman, and lines to lay ashore in constricted waters and/or for better protection. Second, the more or less complete absence of sandy beaches indicates that sand is unlikely to be the bottom your anchor will fall on. Rocks, grass and other delicacies are more likely, and none rank high among the preference of sailors. So set your anchor well, have a look at it whenever possible with your snorkelling gear and always choose to lay out warps ashore towards the direction of the stronger prevailing winds whenever possible. Trees and rocks are there to work as cleats, what else? The bad guys are Bora (NE), NW and SW. Bora can be very distressing. True, it comes from the shore, but it can kick up something nasty enough in a few miles, especially in the north and the Kvaerner. It is less to be feared S of Hvar, where southerlies are worse. Northerlies are usually associated to a cold front, so expect them to arrive when the barometer stops falling. Make sure the barometer works.
Another drawback of the blessed geography of Croatia is the number of rocks awash or just below the water, especially around the Kornati archipelago. A chart plotter is a good help, especially if it is not a long walk away from the helm. But the best is always to follow the LLLL rule, lead, log, longitude and lookout. Keep an eye around and always be sure of where you are and what you are supposed to have below your craft.
Harbours and Marinas
Contrary to their neighbours the Italians, Croatians understood well that Marinas can be a business and a service, and not a resource to be laughed at. Marinas are ubiquitous in Croatia. Clean, well sheltered, offering most services, well designed and not too offensive of the environment. They are not cheap, with a berth for a 40 footer at an average 50 euros a night. Most are managed by ACI. Some of them, like Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik, are very popular. So get there before 2 p.m.
Water and Diesel
First of all check well if the water and diesel dials of your vessel work.
If you assume gentlemenship from petrol stations you will soon see the fallacy of your expectations. Water, they will say most of the time, can be found at the marina, and that dripping tap few feet to the left is just to quench the thirst of dogs, and the key is not at hand anyway. Try with the old system (T.I.P) or approach marinas when empty or before the attendants get there to wave you off.
Gentlemen at sea
It is a matter of regret that so many people at sea nowadays are unable or unwilling to respect some of the most basic rules. So many times the blame goes to the tourist boats, whose captains seem to believe that their vessel raises no wake and that the other boats and their lines are just a pain in the arse. But the average sailor is no better. We kindly ask to every captain to raise no wake, make no useless noise, anchor at a respectable distance and try to sail in the most independent fashion.
Food & Drinks
The importance of realizing that happiness is hard to achieve with an empty stomach cannot be overstressed. If you rented a bareboat or with a skippered boat, do not leave the harbour with a well stocked galley, because some cruising areas of Croatia are exceedingly devoid of groceries. Even more so if your palate is accustomed to a varied diet. This is very true in the Kornati archipelago, where it's easier to find a tree than a loaf of bread. Most small villages can boast a grocery store, but the choice of food they offer is ghastly. They look deeply convinced that fish is born, grow up, spawns and dies in freezers. Same as chicken. Mutton is worth a note on its own: while in most places you do not see sheep around but readily find their corpses in butcheries, here it can be found roaming everywhere but they are probably immortals and the way to a good roast runs through bigger cities. Basically in Croatia you invert the shopping system that you use in the rest of the Med, where you stock up in staples in the bigger cities and have fun looking for fresh delicacies in smaller places. In Croatia stock up in supermarkets in delicacies, because the staples are easy to find everywhere.
Among the NTBM (not to be missed) list of delicacies you must try in Croatia, a special mention goes to prawns and shrimps, Dalmatian ham, fresh fish in general in the Split area (San Peter's and bass), fruits and vegetables (peaches are excellent), truffles. Beef should be preferred over chicken, and mutton is excellent but wildish in taste. Oysters around Dubrovnik, cheese from Pag, broiled sardines in Sibenik and Kali. Sausages and salami are very good, although far from Corsican perfection. Try beef or fish cooked in the peka, a utensil that is put under the burning coals.
Around Hvar you have to try a Gregada, a fish soup in a very tasty stock. Then octopus salads and shellfish in general.
While we noted with sadness that most fish goes straight from the boats to the restaurants, we also must remark that they make a very good use of it. Without being pretentious, the Croatian restaurants we tried work well indeed. As a matter of fact, when compared to their French and Italian counterparts in the touristy areas, they win hands down, with a greater genuinity, a higher respect for the client and a better price/quality ratio.
Wine: Croatia doesn't rank high in the ratings of world wine, and one does not take much to understand why. The price/quality ratio is depressing, and one is tempted to buy crown-cap, 1-litre bottles of white just to risk less. Some bottles we found very good, like some dry Malvasias, but with that money you buy better everywhere else, and, moreover, you can buy tons of excellent beer. Lasko, Slatorog and Karlovacko are some of the brands, but we must underline that Croatian and Slovenian beers do deserve a mention. Malty and hoppy, tasty at every temperature, tasting even if industrial, the drinker won't be deceived.
Places and havens
Kornat itinerary
Kornat (crowned): if it's nature, silence and landscapes what you are looking for, this wind-swept, rock-barren and sage-scented island is your destination. It looks like a long wave of stones recently emerged from the blue waters, where no trees had the time to grow. Sail along the W side and explore its many bays, among which we report Opat (the S-most) with its excellent restaurant, Lopatica and Vrulje (the restaurant here has been reported ghastly). It's hard to find an unpleasant corner here. Find your own private bay, also using the many small islands and coves lying W of it. We suggest letting go in a bay in the evening, hike up the hills and scan the view to find your favourite bay for the following day. The Kornati N.P. is not cheap, at 10 euros pppday, collected by employees with fast dinghies in most anchorages.
Smokvica (small fig): this small island lies just S of Kornat and boasts two bays, the westernmost of which is simply amazing. Horseshoe-shaped, it's protected by a low saddles stretching between two low hills and you can see other islands on the other side but not the sea in between, so that in clear days you have the exact sensation of being anchored in an alpine lake.
Lavsa: this beautiful island shelters a bay (with cosy village attached) that is one of the favourite havens of the archipelago. Not very roomy and somewhat shallows to accept many vessels.
Piskera: On this tiny island situated along the 'outside passage' you find the only marina of the Kornat National Park. Rather shallow for many boats, it's nonetheless superbly located and has a very good anchorage right S of the marina. Pristine waters indeed.
The Outside passage: we strongly recommend sailing along the W-most line of the islands, with the open Adriatic to the W. The islands drop their balanced look, their wobbly look and acquire a more dramatic drop, a cliffy air and a rugged look. True, shelter is hard to achieve but it's a great place to sail, to tack close to the granite walls and to have fun.
Telascica: the second NP of the area provides quite a different atmosphere being, as it is, mostly enclosed in a wide and fully sheltered bay with several coves on the side and a lake for hiking virtuosos. Cheaper than Kornati (and the guys carry away your rubbish as well, a great added value) at 7 euros pppd, it delivers the sensation of sailing in a Swiss lake, surrounded by pine trees, gentle slopes and cosy inlets. One of these opens right NW of the NW entrance point, a 1/3 mile deep and narrow inlet where you can let go and lay out lines ashore, thence climb the cliff for heroic dives. Waters are always calm around this bay, a perfect winter harbour, a place where you can spend days exploring.
Zjrie: situated on the same itinerary, ideally cantered around Sibenik, this island boasts one of the finer bays around, in its SW side. Gentle hills and pastoral woods surround a large cove that would be perfect if the depths were a bit more human.
Krka and Skradin: the shrewd sailor who rents his vessel in Sibenik has the lucky chance to start his cruise sailing up the Krka River as far as Skradin, whence he can join one of the tour boats and visit the Krka falls. The Mediterranean sailor is unaccustomed to long inlets, poor chap, and indeed I cannot think of anything deeper than a cove all along the Italian 7,000-km long coastline, with the useless exception of mosquito-pestered lagoons where no sane person would ever dare to dip his toenails. So the Krka River is a pleasant surprise and nature decided to oppose no dangers to the sailor. Let go in front of Skradin, set your hook very well and explore. Skradin itself is definitely worth a mention, also for the food-curious. The falls in themselves are, even for a sub-junior globetrotter, a trifle overestimated.
Primosten: still reasonably in the same cruising grounds, this pleasant walled town is a fair 'entrée' to its more acclaimed sisters to the south. Walk around the ramparts and explore the cemetery, where you'll find rock-engraved evidence that the commonest Dalmatian name is indeed Ante.
If you start your cruise from Split or thereabouts your natural cruising destination will be the archipelago composed by the big islands of Hvar, Brac, Korcula and their smaller sisters.
Hvar: widely acclaimed and heavily visited, the medieval Venetian town of Hvar is worth its fame. The square, the alleys and the well preserved grey-stone houses with green windows are impressive, even is slightly overcrowded. Let go or moor in the famous island in front and catch a ferry to avoid the lunatics in the Hvar harbour. The Palmezana Marina is excellent and if you hike 5 mins up the hill and you eat at Meneghello's (try their Gragada) you won't regret to be 15 minutes ferry away from the town.
Scedro: this small island lies to the S of Hvar and it's lightly inhabited, and the three coves in the SE corner are totally deserted, well sheltered and definitely worth a stop. Blue water and green trees.
Milna: unjustly forgotten for some reason by many local skippers, one should get into Milna harbour at night. Well sheltered from most winds, the inlet sails you right in the middle of the town, as if the square had been invaded by the sea. One can clearly see that it's not half as trendy as Hvar, but… well, we like it. Probably to put a marina in this bay has been a harsh decision.
Maslinica: first stop on the way south from the rest of Dalmatia, this haven lies on the W end of the island of Solta that doesn't offer much else. But we loved this place, its tranquil waters, its misty islets, and its cosy waterfront and, last but not least, the magnificent restaurant in the castle. The latter is owned, so sailor-radio says, to the German chap who invented cell phone roaming and who is therefore supposed to be well off. He did a great job, food is great and the service is top choice.
Lastovo: this is the favourite island among the local skippers, and it's not hard to understand why. Away from the main 'gullet routes' (these things should be sunk), with a special microclimate dry in the S and green in the N, one can spend days exploring the several sheltered bays around. There is a small cove right in the N side, basically a natural harbour. It might not be exceedingly cosy, but it's certainly genuine. The restaurant Triton has been heavily recommended and yes, it's true, there is a fish wholesaler in the bay (W side) with great quality and choices (for prices you'd better try in February…)
Mljet: it's hard to find a more beautiful island around. Long, deeply forested, with blue bays, a lake in the middle with a monastery on it, protected by a NP status, and blessed by a perfect coastline. Begin at Polace, a group of bays and islands on the NW side. If you don't have a 90 metres chain let go in the shallow area close to the NW entrance, in 7 metres, decent holding. Then explore a perfect horseshoe-shaped cove at the W end. The entrance looks shallow but we sounded 4 metres in mid-channel. The first sandy beaches (coming from the N) are reported in the two coves in the SE side of the island.
Vis: we do not have first-hand knowledge, but this island is another favourite of the local skippers. They warmly recommend the fishing village of Komiza and the blue caves of Mezuporat on the islet of Bisevo.
Korcula: as Venetian maritime towns go, this borders perfection, with the circular alleys surrounding a hillock with regular church on top. A must see. Unfortunately it's on everybody's route, especially the gullets' that at 6 p.m. assault the dock and raft to each other creating a shanty-town effect. The ACI didn't improve things lying off a long concrete wharf E of the harbour for a dubious sheltering effect. Visit Korcula off season or, if you cannot, stroll around and shop in the afternoon, then sail W for 5 miles until you reach a very pleasant, well sheltered sandy bay where to spend the night in total tranquillity.

This is an ideal piece of equipment to pack in a suitcase. It seems well made and very convenient
A very compact item when not in use. I will keep mine in the truck for the times when you need a third hand!
great bag
keep in car when I need to either go shopping or take a hike around but didn't plan on a hike. It works okay but could use a hip strap if only to sung it up.
I have been wanting this sort of product for some time, but the original brand was much to expensive so I was glad to find this 'generic' version. It is well made and the design is great, especially the side pouch how the zippers and the snap convert from a standard molle pouch into a pouch on the front of the zip out pack. My one negative is that it would have been nice if it had attached material to put it on a pack/bag, but that is minor and I really like it.

Are you an artist? Or, are you simply taking an order?
We all just want to make the client happy. That's our main goal. But what if your client wants something that isn't right for her. What is your responsibility? Please her, even though you know it isn't the right cut/color/texture/style? Or be the professional artist with experience and let the guest know her expectations are out of range and make suggestions?
Because if you know, in your bones, in your very soul--that she doesn't have the skin tone to pull off burgundy, or that her hair is too delicate to withstand another round of bleach-pulled through-highlights, you have a responsibility to let her know, and give her alternatives. If you proceed, even though it's not the right decision, you've just taken her order. Might as well offer her a side of fries with that!
Here's an example:
Bambi (not her real name) called McDonald's Salon and made an appointment for an all-over color. When she arrived, she told the haircolorist, Bunny (also not her real name) that her boyfriend said he would buy her a pair of expensive designer stilettos if she would make her hair platinum blonde. Her natural level was a medium brown, with previous dark red permanent color and pre-lightened highlights on her mid-length and ends. Bunny told Bambi that going so drastically light would certainly damage her hair, but Bambi was adamant. She wanted those designer shoes. She told Bunny she didn't care if her hair was damaged, she wanted platinum hair, and she wanted it now!
Bunny was up for the challenge, and proceeded with the service. Sure enough, after multiple applications of bleach, Bambi's hair was damaged. Most of the damage was on the last couple of inches of Bambi's long hair. Bunny hoped that Bambi would let her trim off the worst part, but Bambi's boyfriend loved long hair, and she didn't want more than the tiniest trim. When Bambi saw the condition of the now-white blonde hair, her eyes filled up with tears. "What have you done? You've ruined my hair!" Running out the door, Bambi could barely see through her tears as she tapped out a 1 star review, then called her boyfriend.
This is an exaggerated scenario (or is it?), which has some small shred of truth you may recognize. Let's go over what kind of damage this can do to a salon and stylist's reputation.
Hard costs: Multiple bowls of bleach and developer + 1 Service not paid for.
Soft costs: Negative review affects salon reputation + Client tells everyone she knows who wrecked her hair and where it happened + Blow to Bunny's confidence + Other stylists in salon possibly lose respect for Bunny.

Claudio Roditi was born May 28th, 1946 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He began his musical studies when he was just five years old. His native Brazilian music upbringing almost took a back seat as he became enamoured with jazz and heard recordings of Louis Armstrong, Harry James and other American trumpeters. By the time he was 13, thanks to an America uncle's record collection, he became familiar with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis.

Topic - Not all rope dry coating is equal
needvert on 02 Feb 2013
"A study of dry proofed ropes from thirteen different manufacturers, using a variety of test methods, shows that only a very few ropes do indeed repel water well. The rest are bunched together with much higher absorption rates. One may say that many of the claims hold no water, but the ropes do.
One of the presenters felt that climbers do not want ropes with water resistance treatment, because they only climb when it is sunny and are unwilling to pay for the added cost. Until there is an accepted standard, it may indeed not be worth the money to buy a dry treated rope.
Anyone happen to know whose dry coatings actually work?
