When Women's Health magazine first got off the ground, they featured a column that I loved, learned from, and eventually ended up contributing to called Letter to My Younger Self. It was just as you might expect. Someone a little older, usually in her 40s talking to her 20something self, because hindsight as they say is always 20/20, and if we could just teach our 25-year-old selves the hard fought lessons we have garnered by 45, we could really get somewhere as a species.
I was reminded of the usefulness of that conceit again this past week at the Trans-Sylvania Epic Mountain Bike stage race (TSE). I've done more than my share of stage races over the past few years, including BC Bike Race, Cape Epic, Breck Epic, and Brasil Ride. I learn something new and valuable with each one. But this time what I noted most is that I race very differently now than I did when I was younger (even just a little younger)…and maybe I'm still out there doing fairly well all these years later because I'm racing differently than I was younger. So without further ado:
Dear younger Selene,
Focus on yourself. Stop checking BikeReg for "who's registered." You've been training to be the best you can personally be. That might mean you win. That might mean you come in midpack or dead last. Be your best and be good with whatever that means. And believe in yourself. It doesn't matter if a former World Champion is on the line or if the field is full of relative unknowns. It's a race, and on any given day, the win is up for grabs. Believe you can grab it no matter who else is going for it.
Be patient. This one is so big. I'm not 100% sure patience can be learned as much as earned, so I'll go easy on you. But here's the deal. Yes it's important to start fast, especially in mountain bike races where you need to escape the scrum at the first patch of singletrack. But shooting off from the get go like a jackrabbit with its tail aflame generally makes you just a rabbit to chase…and eventually catch. Sit in once in a while, watch the race unfold, work with others. Eh, I'll save my breath, you'll learn to race smart eventually.
Race your race. Yes, you can and will learn from other racers, but you'll always do best when you focus on yourself. Don't concern yourself with what everyone else is doing—how long they're warming up, what tire pressure they're running, what supplements they take, what's in their bottle, what's in their race bag, what they're eating for breakfast. You can't control any of that and it will only make you bananas second guessing yourself. Practice all that stuff in training; talk to other riders and racers along the way; find what works for you, and on race day, stick to it. Period.
As I looked around at the giant mounds of scrambled eggs and pancakes on most racers plates at TSE, it was all I could do to not join in the feast. But experience has taught me that a little less is more for my race belly. I stuck fast to my nutrition plan and never cramped or got race gut. Likewise, I ran burlier tires than many, but it helped me ride with confidence and I never flatted.
Get stupid. You will eventually learn to race smart, but don't let that keep you from racing stupid once in a while. Sometimes you just have to toss all the chips on the table and go for broke. It's just a race and hey, you don't know your limits until you find them. Have fun. Take a few chances. The worst that will happen is you'll have a story to tell about how badly you blew up. That's okay too. This year at TSE, I raced smart for five days and went for broke on two. I rolled in like a cracked egg one of those and crossed the line with the leaders the next. You never know.
Keep your chin up. You will have the tendency to get down on yourself. You will have the tendency to think everyone is better, smarter, and fitter than you. You will be scared…a lot. You will always swear you're never racing again while fighting through race-morning misery. You will worry that everyone will think you suck if you don't do well. You will get wrapped up in others' expectations or what you perceive others' expectations to be. It will come precariously close to doing you in at times. You know what? It's never as bad as you worry it will be. Hold your head high, race your best, and the sun will come up again no matter how you finish. I enjoyed this year's TSE far more than I have year's past by simply not worrying so much.
Be yourself. It will be tempting to be more of a "serious racer" over the years. Don't bother. Just be yourself, dirty bike, goofy socks, and all. People can tell when you're trying to be something you're not and it's a waste of energy. Plus, when you be yourself, everyone else feels more comfortable just being themselves, which just makes the world a happier place.
Before TSE this year, I wrote a post that included a photo of my feet, which are rather flat, and have tattoos and blue nail polish. Some folks suggested I should have kept them covered. The morning I was setting off for TSE, I was greeted by dozens of pictures of beautifully bare "good luck" feet on my Facebook and Twitter feeds. I actually wept with joy. All those feet carried me through to five podium finishes a third place overall on the week because they reminded me that at the heart of this sport are people with huge hearts. You'll find yourself blessed to be among them…hopefully until you're a very, very older self.

This past year has seen a TON of changes going on around YMCA Camp Kern. We opened the doors to our brand new indoor recreation facility, complete with a basketball court, indoor/outdoor stage, and offices. We sadly said our goodbyes to our executive director, Jeff Merhige, and and welcomed in Chris Addison to take on the role. Summer Camp will also have a different feel as our fearless leader, Mike Costlow, left to move closer to home and we brought in Roy Harriman to fill his shoes.
Camp will certainly have a different look this year, but we have never been more excited! It's time to keep building on our 103 years of great tradition and leave a new mark making the 104th summer that best one yet!
Keep an eye on this page as over the next few weeks we'll be updating you with open house dates, CIT retreats, and all sort of other great ways to stay involved with Kern as we lead up to this summer! If you have any questions about the changes or comings and goings of camp, please don't hesitate to get in contact with us!
Here's to a great spring!
Program Spotlight
Star Wars Camp
Through a creative collaboration beginning in 2009, Camp Kern and Lucasfilm have worked together to create an outstanding themed camp resource surrounding their Star Wars movies, and the animated series on Cartoon Network, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This resource has resulted in hundreds of camps and thousands of children participating in themed programming hosted at www.clonewarscamp.com.
Star Wars Week at YMCA Camp Kern is a fully-themed week based on this collaboration! Campers begin the week as Padawans who are preparing to begin their Jedi training. Throughout the week, these Padawans are challenged through daily Star Wars activities, and through training missions.

Getting outside, meeting new people and playing games for a week builds skills and memories for a lifetime. However, many families struggle with the decision to send their children off to Summer Camp. Worry about a child's health and well-being combine with an uncertainty of the value of camp for a child, and make it a difficult decision.
At YMCA Camp Kern, we are dedicated to providing a safe environment for our campers through a combination of great staff and training, along with excellent policies and procedures. RN's are always on-site during Summer Camp programs, and everyone follows the standards of the American Camp Association throughout operations to make sure each and every child is healthy and happy.
As for the values of camp, well, here are 10 great outcomes from a week spent away at camp:
Camp connects kids to those who they may not normally meet. Kids learn the world is a big place with lots of people, who might do things differently than they're used to. That includes other kids from all over the state and beyond – and the camp's counselors and leaders, who serve as positive role models who can leave a huge impression. They're not seen as strict "law enforcers" but older, "cool friends" who care about them. Camp Kern staff and campers come from all over the tri-state area, and throughout the world. Not only counselors, but campers attend from international locations such as Spain, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, and more.
When kids are at camp, they don't have mom and dad there to help them approach people and make connections. They have to put themselves out there. Learning how to canoe or developing archery skills also makes a child realize how capable he or she is to learn and grow. According to the American Camp Association, 92 percent of kids who attend camp say that the people at camp helped them feel good about themselves.
Camp gets children outdoors, and helps them enjoy nature. Kids today spend much less time outdoors, causing a "nature deficit" according to many reports and a popular book on the issue, Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. But camp reconnects them with nature, seeing things like frogs and trails in person and experiencing swimming in a lake or biking along a path. Camp Kern opens up 485 acres of wooded land with access to the Little Miami River, and an on-site lake. Children run and explore all
over the property!
Kids are empowered at camp to take care of themselves, with guidance from camp counselors. Bedtimes are set and schedules are packed,
but children still have to get themselves up and ready, make their camp beds and find their way to the dining hall. And kids a little too attached to mom and dad can learn how to trust themselves to make decisions and take care of themselves. All of the programs at Camp Kern are designed to promote independence, and the Taste of Kern and First Camp Programs are even more intentionally built for just that!
Because camps allow kids to make choices and direct summer projects, they're natural leadership training places. These kids are less likely to be affected by peer pressure and more likely to set the pace and tone for other kids – and feel empowered in tasks they take on throughout their lives. Leadership qualities infuse everything Camp Kern does, and the Leaders in Training and Counselor in Training programs take it to the next level.
Kids have tons of memories of the good times, silly shenanigans and fun activities. It's a time of discovery and self-improvement that stays with a kid long into adulthood. At Camp Kern, our themed Big Games are a great way to stretch imagination and have amazing memories of interacting with your favorite movie and book characters!
This offers a unique opportunity for your child to branch out in the buddies he or she has. Navigating and building these friendships over the summer also teaches children how to be more socially confident – something they can take back to school with them in the fall. From sitting around a campfire on a cabin overnight, to playing imaginative games with friends, everything at Camp Kern is geared toward building friendships.
YMCA Camp Kern does not allow cell phones and computers, so kids can truly take advantage of all summertime has to offer. That means those prone to sit on their duffs and text or play video games are encouraged to get up – and get moving! At Camp Kern, the days start at roughly 7:00am, and end at about 10:30pm. These long days are filled with amazing activity, most of which is outdoors! We love the sunshine, rain, dirt and grass.
With so much to do at summer camp (archery, swimming, canoeing, crafts, etc.), there are many fun activities for kids to discover. That's why it's the perfect place for your child to tap into an interest that he or she wants to carry on after camp is over. Did your daughter go ga-ga for horseback riding? Perhaps she's a budding equestrian who would enjoy regular lessons.
Many parents have a full summer of work for themselves. After all, when school lets out, kids have to go somewhere to spend their time. Camp isn't just a "parking spot" for kids, though: It also offers fun, excitement and lessons that last forever. If your family has been searching for the perfect balance of fun and activity, a summer at Camp Kern is just the ticket! See you this summer!

Kern Challenge
Kern Challenge is an outstanding program for teens who want to do it all! For ages 13 to 16, this program focuses on creating friendships and building memories while participating in teens-only activities.

After the wild success of
the Arctic Dash 2012, Kern is expanding in 2013 to offer The Kern Dash Series – three seasonal dashes, held on the beautiful and rugged terrain of YMCA Camp Kern. Each event is separate and unique, but we guarantee mud, brutal obstacles, and scenic views in each. Those who complete all
3 in 2013 will be eligible for Grand Prizes. Kern Dashes raise money for the Strong Kids Scholarship Campaign. This Campaign provides scholarships which allow kids, whose families otherwise may not be able to afford it, come to Camp.
The Spring Dash will be held on March 30, 2013.

Great to Grate! 11 Surprising Foods Worth Pulling Out Your Grater For
Bon Appetit
It's summer. It's hot. We think this is a good time to discover some new kitchen shortcuts. When I first learned about grating garlic, it blew my mind - I didn't know you could do that! No mess, finer consistency than chopping - genius. And now, here are 10 more foods you didn't know you could grate!
Some of these will work best with a box grater, some with a mini Microplane. Overall, grating gives foods that are difficult to chop a new, smooth consistency, making them easier to blend into dishes. Just be careful with your fingers!
Some Great to Grate Ideas:
• Tomatoes
• Potatoes and Root Vegetables
• Ginger and Horseradish
• Frozen Bananas
• Cold Butter
Get the rest of the ideas: 11 Things You didn't know were Great to Grate at Bon Appetit
Related: Tip From Gourmet: Crush Tomatoes With a Box Grater
(Images: Williams-Sonoma and Cook's Warehouse>)
10 Comments
I use my grater all the time! I make pastry by grating frozen butter (makes is so light!)
And practically everything I make with beets starts out with grating and toasting them!
Here's one with grated beets and zucchini, in tacos! (with kidney beans and chipotle)
I try to freeze things before grating - ginger, cheese. Never thought of grating tomatoes, but would freeze them first.
I really want to get myself a Microplane - it's been about 10 years since I first declared that though, I can never quite bring myself to spend the money when I have a Microplane imposter in my kitchen. Maybe it should meet with an accident!
And I'm still mashing my garlic with a fork /facepalm
Grating a tomato? I'd try it, but I'm afraid I'd end up with a squished mess. Still... I suppose I won't know unless I try...
I wouldn't grate a tomato on a Microplane....too fine. Use the large holes on a box grater (DON'T freeze it !). The point is to get the tomato puree with some of the juice. The skin and the seeds stay behind in your hand, and are discarded. It's a great (pun, what pun???) technique.
Grating tomatoes revolutionized my life. I never peel, just slice the stalk top part off and grate. Tomato pasta sauce in no time!
Seriously, grating tomatoes changed my life too! I usually put my box grater in a bowl, cut the tomatoes in half, and then start grating from the cut face. You don't need to peel the tomatoes; the skin sort of stays behind in your hand and actually protects your fingers from the sharp edges of the grater.
It yields a texture similar to canned crushed tomatoes, as opposed to the "strands" you get from grating, say, carrots. But for any kind of sauce or stew, it's perfect.
Now about these bananas... what's the purpose of grating a frozen banana? Do you mix it with something? Is it like a smoothie shortcut?
I love to puree a frozen banana to make an easy one-ingredient ice cream, great when topped with chocolate shavings, nuts, etc. Maybe I can try it with a grater instead of a food processor?
grating butter works great for pie crusts
i keep ginger in freezer, peeled first, then grate it when needed.
grating garlic/ginger on the microplane works grate (pun intended) for any uncooked purpose like a salad or vegetable dressing. if you're cooking it a rough chop is ok.
microplane also works for nutmeg and of course zesting.
i also use it for very fluffy grated cheese-melts instantly into a sauce. same with chocolate.

Jeanne Marie Sather was born in Tacoma, Wash., on November 17, 1954, and died of metastatic breast cancer in Seattle on November 11, 2013, at age 58.
Jeanne wrote this obituary in January 2005, at which point she had been living with breast cancer for more than six years. She rewrote it in June 2010, after 11 years living with cancer.
Jeanne was a writer, editor, teacher, and jewelry designer, but most of all she was a mother who loved her children, sons Akira Babe and Robin Sather, with a fierce and protective love that she tried to hide behind an open, matter-of-fact style of parenting
Since her first cancer diagnosis, when Akira was 13 and Robin was 8, her goal has been to raise her sons to do well in the world without her. Not any easy task, but she is confident that she has succeeded and that with the support of family and friends her sons will be happy and successful men.
Jeanne was raised in Hoquiam, Wash., the second of four children of Dr. Donald Sather, a veterinarian, and Carol Appell Sather. She graduated from Hoquiam High School in 1973, was a National Merit Scholar, and left Hoquiam for Michigan State University in East Lansing, where she majored in Communications.
Jeanne spent her senior year studying in Kobe, Japan, which set the direction of her academic and professional life for the next decade. She received a grant from the East-West Center in Honolulu to do a master's degree in Japanese language, and then earned a second master's degree in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley.
She met her former husband, Kazuhiro Babe, of Awajishima, Japan, in Hawaii. They were married for eight years and adopted Akira together in Japan.
Jeanne worked at a journalist and translator in Tokyo for five years during the mid-1980s. She worked for Japan Broadcasting (NHK) and Newsweek, among other news organizations.
She returned home, and taught journalism for a year in California before returning to Seattle in 1990 when she was pregnant with Robin, whose father is Roger Cooke of San Francisco.
In Seattle, Jeanne worked for the Puget Sound Business Journal, The Seattle Times, Reuters wire service, MSN, and OnHealth.com, an online publication that fired her while she was undergoing cancer treatment. (The settlement in that case allowed her to pay off some medical bills and make the down payment on her house.)
In the years since Jeanne was diagnosed with breast cancer, most of her writing has been about cancer. She wrote "Jeanne's Diary," a week-by-week account of her first series of cancer treatments, for the OnHealth Web site. A cover story for Seattle Weekly called "Running with Fear" received a first place award (of which she was immensely proud) from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2004, and she wrote extensively for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance's Web site for several years.
Since August 2006, Jeanne has written a cancer blog called The Assertive Cancer Patient, www.assertivecancerpatient.com, which has brought her dozens of friends, and thousands of readers, from around the world. These friends have mostly been women, like herself, who were living with advanced cancers of various types.
Jeanne would like to thank the tight circle of friends—both online and in the real world—who helped her live well and happily for the past dozen years. She is survived by these friends, and her sons, Akira Babe and Robin Sather, both of Seattle.
Jeanne has chosen to be cremated.

Hulu can charge whatever they want, but who's gonna pay (especially in this economy)!
Exactly.... Hulu begins to charge for content. And then that's when I begin to stop going there. It's a tough racket but in the internet biz, you have to figure out more creative ways to monetize.
I third that opinion. I don't think Hulu has a big enough foothold to do this except for maybe a few content items.
If they go too far with it, they'll see major competition spring up.
hope they don't, just heard about this thing
Well I delt with the boxee thing and I use there desktop app, which is not bad, but not as good as boxee, but if they start charging I'll just stop watching. I don't mind the ads other than the fact that they play the same one over and over again during a show.
Yea that would be a bright idea. But I see them only havin a shot at charging for the movie side of it. As seeing as now most of the networks actually show the tv shows on there sites as well. So if they start charging its not like you just cant go to the networks site and watch the shows. Well majority of them anyways. I think it would be a bad move on there part.
Now that I could handle. I like payperview movies. As long as it was new stuff just out on DVD.
The great thing is that is HULU begin doing the "i'm greedy" then Youtube could or other website could upgrade their contents for free. That is the beauty of YOUTUBE and if they want to compete in that market NBC "HULU" better stay the way it is...
If Hulu were to start charging money for its current service, it would die. I think they know that, too, so will be looking for ways to make it worthwhile. I'm pretty sure I would pay for the service if they could include shows and movies from networks like HBO or Showtime.
I would definitely pay for Hulu if it meant watching Dexter without having to pay for the whole pricey cable package. I suspect that this is what Jon is talking about.
I guess they need to pay for those "We're Aliens" commercials somehow.

60th Battle of the Gold's
By M. Shamil Amit
The much looked forward to Battle of the Gold's big match of the two leading cricket playing schools Prince of Wales and St Sebastian's in Moratuwa takes place during the tomorrow and day after at De Zoysa Stadium in Moratuwa.
This is the 60th in the series with the Cambrians in the lead having secured six as against two to the Sebs. This encounter will be followed with the limited over match which is the 25th in the series to be played on March 14 at the same venue with both sides on equal terms with 11 wins each with the rest being washed out.
The two teams are oozing with confidence with both coming into the game with an unbeaten record. The Cambrians have played 17 matches winning four against DSS, Lumbini MV, Royal and Joseph Vaz with the rest drawn while the Sebs have played one match more but have seven outright wins.
They beat StAnne's, Kalutara MV, StAnthony's K'tota, Isipathana, De Mazenod, St Sylvester's and President's Rajagiriya with the rest drawn. So looking back the performances of the two teams, predicting an outcome is not going to that easy.
But no doubt the two captains will go flat out to record a win which has not been seen for the 32 years after Prince of Wales led by Pemlal Fernando achieved it in 1997. On the other for the Sebs they too will want to break the 43 year old hoodoo of having tasted success which was way back in 1966 under Sarath Perera.
The two leaders Nuwantha Peiris of Prince of Wales and Anuk de Alwis will have to lead from the front to see that positive cricket is played and if either go in the negative then for sure the outcome of a draw is assured.
Cambrians skipper Nuwantha has the services of last year skipper Buddika de Alwis who has put in some sterling performances this season. He has been successful in both the batting and bowling department and he is going to be their trump card. Buddik has scored over 600 runs and taken over 70 wickets.
Then they have Shehan Jayasuriya who is their top run getter this season with over 800 runs which includes a century against Royal with support to come from their centurion Isuru Thilina, Nipun Peiris and Sithum Fernando they should chalk up a challenging score.
The bowling will be in the hands of Buddika de Alwis who along with spinning partners Malshan Mendis and Shehan Jayasuriya have dominated throughout the season. So they will have to continue the same process if the Cambrians are to take the upper hand.
Though the Cambrians are having players who are in form they are going to have a tough time as the Sebs too posses batsmen who can match them. The Sebs has two players in Deshan Dias nad Oshada Fernando who have achieved the magical 1000 runs this season.
The duo are going to be a thorn in the flesh for the Cambrians with Deshan in his 1000 runs has two tons and 11 half tons while Oshada has one ton more along with four half tons with a top score of 194 against Thurstan.
Apart from the duo they have players in the calibre of skipper Anuk, Kasun Fernando, Ramesh Fernando and Viroshana de Alwis who have all made over 500 runs this season.
The Sebs bowling combination of pacie Sanitha de Mel and spinners Amila Aponos and skipper Anuk posses bowlers will be their mainstay. The left arm spin combination of Amila who has taken over 70 wickets and Anuk will be their trump card.
Amila the baby of the team has taken over 70 wickets while Anuk is the next best wicket taker with over 50 scalps to his credit. In fact he holds the big match bowling record of 8 for 48 which he achieved last year.
Nevertheless it all points to an interesting tussle and if a positive approach is made by the two teams, breaking the hoodoo of no wins for over three decades is on the cards.

Child Naming Ceremonies, Weddings and Memorial Services
The most important events that occur within our circles of community include the birth or adoption of a child, the union of a couple, and the death of someone we love. People in every culture have developed ceremonies and rituals to honor these life transitions, and Unitarian Universalists do so as well.
At the Unitarian Society our ministers are generally the ones who officiate for these rites of passage, although other staff members may assist in a child naming and members of the Lay Ministry Team may assist with memorial services. Rites of passage are available to all pledging members of the congregation free of charge, although families often make a voluntary gift to the minister's discretionary fund. Our Senior Minister or Associate Minister may on occasion make themselves available for such ceremonies for families outside of the congregation; the fee in such cases is at the discretion of the ministers.
Within the life of the congregation we also celebrate the growing awareness of our children in a "Coming of Age" ceremony. Around the age of 13 our children participate in our Affirmations program throughout the year, and at its conclusion they are invited to share a creedal statement with a celebratory gathering of family, friends and congregants.
Within Unitarian Universalism the naming ceremony by which we welcome a new child differs significantly from baptism in two ways. First, we do not believe there is an "original sin" from which a baby or child must be cleansed, so there is no sense in which we are washing a child clean of sin in the ceremony. We believe our children — and all human beings — are born to us with pure potential: they are capable of enormous goodness as well as ignorance or cruelty. By welcoming them into the community we acknowledge the complex promise and miracle of human life.
Second, the purpose of the Naming Ceremony is to welcome a child into our faith community and promise our support and assistance to the parents in raising their child. Therefore, the ceremony takes place within the context of a regular Sunday worship service, and is generally available only to families who are members or about to become members of USNH.
Unitarian Universalism honors and celebrates a couple's decision to marry. Unlike many other faith communities, most UU congregations and ministers have long honored same-sex unions equally with heterosexual unions. USNH ministers and volunteers proudly worked for marriage equality in Connecticut for many years, and we are delighted to live in a state in which gay and heterosexual couples are provided the benefits and responsibilities of marriage on equal legal footing. Like ministers and rabbis of other faiths, UU ministers are recognized by the state in signing marriage certificates.
Wedding Ceremonies are very personal, and couples are invited to work with the minister in shaping the ceremony so that it feels very much like their own. Couples are generally provided with three sample wedding ceremonies, and are free to use one of them just as it is, to mix and match elements of all three, and/or to bring in readings or vows from other sources. Readings from favorite poems may be chosen; family members may be asked to assist in a reading; vows may be re-written in language specific to the couple's needs. The ceremonies we perform range from large and rather formal, to intimate and informal; each couple in consultation with the minister may choose from several different ceremonies, and/or add in new elements from other sources. A couple typically meets with the officiating minister one or two times before the wedding, both so that the minister gets to know them and in order to shape the ceremony.
The ministers are generally available to officiate at wedding ceremonies for couples who are members of the Unitarian Society. Rev. Marion Visel is often available and may be contacted directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. The fee for her wedding services is generally $350 ($400 if travel is needed), but may be waived for financial hardship at the minister's discretion. If the wedding is performed in the USNH sanctuary, there is no charge for pledging members of the congregation; unaffiliated couples must rent the sanctuary and/or the social hall.
One of the greatest gifts offered by a spiritual community is support and accompaniment at a time of bereavement. Nothing touches our lives with the power and pain of the death of someone we've loved, and memorial services help us to name our loss, begin the long road of our grieving, and feel around us a community that will help us reshape our lives and carry on.
Within the Unitarian Universalist (UU) tradition, memorial services are crafted very carefully to honor the person who has died. There is a familiar order of service we generally use, but the minister works closely with family members so that the elements of the service are all chosen and written very personally to reflect the life, values and relationships of the person who has died. Readings may be taken from scripture, poetry, prose from a favorite author, or even the writings of the deceased person. The eulogy is generally offered by the minister, but family members and friends also share reflections and memories. See the Memorial Service Resources page on this website for help in planning a Memorial Service.
UU memorial services may include the presence of the coffin, open or closed, but more commonly do not because many of our members choose cremation. The Unitarian Society has a memorial garden available in which members' ashes may be buried, though no containers or markers are permitted. A contribution of $200 or more is requested to assist in maintaining the garden. When the deceased person has been a member, Unitarian Society volunteers usually provide a simple reception following the service (coffee and cookies); if a more elaborate reception is wanted, the family may hire a caterer.
Our ministers generally officiate for memorial services. There is no charge for pledging members of the Unitarian Society, for either the use of the sanctuary or the ministers' services. Unaffiliated families must arrange separately for the minister's services and for renting the sanctuary space; the minister's fee is $300 but may be waived at the minister's discretion. For further information, please contact either of our ministers or the USNH Administrator.

Leif Tufvesson, the Swedish carbuilder behind Caresto, has seen to it that the Volvo display at SEMA features not one, but two surprising and delightful hot rods. The Caresto V8 Speedster joins the VÖX-Amazon in adding some serious old-time flavor to the otherwise C30-dominated Volvo booth. Lovingly crafted out of carbon fiber and aluminum the Speedster is powered by a mid-mounted 4.4L Volvo V8 that's been converted to run on ethanol. It's good for 340 horsepower on the alterna-fuel and 315 on regular gas.
Tufvesson wanted this rod to be a real driver's car, and with it's 60/40 rear/front weight distribution and Öhlin's sport suspension, he achieves said objective. In that sense, the Caresto V8 Speedster is such a departure from the traditional hot rod, Tufvesson likes to refer to it as a "Sport Rod." Works for us. Hot rod looks blended with sports car performance (and a "green" angle to boot) is a winner in our book. Currently only two of these Caresto Speedsters exist -- the blue one at SEMA and a red one in Sweden (which is also featured in the promotional video after the jump).
Tufvesson has expressed a desire to build a few more examples of it. If you want one, expect to pony up the Swedish equivalent of $330,000.
(Photos, video, and a press release all after the jump)

Hotrod with a Volvo heart
Leif Tufvesson is one of Sweden's most skilled specialist car constructors, with many of his cars having received serious international acclaim. The hottest of them all right now is the new Caresto V8 Speedster, a mid-engined car with an ethanol powered Volvo V8 unit. With the advent of the V8 Speedster, the term Sport Rod has been born. The car will be given its premiere public outing at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.
Leif Tufvesson, who in 2004 won the prestigious "Hotrod of the year" award from Hotrod Magazine, now returns with a completely new car. Leif previously worked for the Volvo Concept Center, and for 6 years was responsible for the development department of the Swedish sports car manufacturer, Koenig. He has now started to construct and manufacture his own cars. His cars have won innumerable prizes over the years and, among others, have received a great deal of acclaim at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas – the largest exhibition platform for specialist car constructors in the world.
The latest project is a mid-engine Hotrod powered by a Volvo V8. The car is completely constructed in aluminum and carbon fiber with an advanced sports car chassis fitted with Öhlin shock absorbers. The question is whether or not this is a genuine Hot Rod that Leif has now built.
"Actually, it's a sports car with a design idiom that is a further development of the classic Hotrod. Perhaps it could establish a new school of thought and coin the term Sport Rod. My idea was to build a car that was as much fun to drive as it was to look at. Road-holding characteristics have never been the hallmark of traditional Hotrods," says Tufvessson.
The cars are designed with just this in mind – excellent road holding with an ideal 60/40 (back/front) weight distribution
The car is extraordinarily well built, with millimeter precision in every part of the bodywork. The leather interior is exquisitely crafted with a nostalgic retrospective feel. The steering wheel, instruments and gear selector come from Volvo, as does the V8 engine, the 6-speed automatic transmission and the car's electrical system. The engine is tuned with the environment in mind, and has been converted to ethanol by Scandinavia's leading car tuning company BSR.
Leif Tufvesson has built and designed the entire car himself, though he has taken advantage of his wide contact network of sub-contractors in terms of paint finish, interior fittings and CAD-milling. Everything else is manufactured and assembled in his workshop in the old brickworks outside Ängelholm in the south of Sweden.
It has taken Leif less than two years to build his SEMA display car and one similar to it, which is residing back home. The two cars are identical, though in different colors. Leif and his company, Caresto, a name also sported on the grill of the car, had two objectives when building the cars: "On one hand the aim is to sell the cars and it is my hope to build at least six examples of this particular model. On the other hand it is, in fact, for my own enjoyment's sake, because I love building cars. It's my hobby and at the same time, it's my job."
An interested buyer would have to be prepared to pay around 2.5 million Swedish kronor (approximately $338,000). But then, he would also have a tailor made and unique car, manufactured in extremely high-tech materials and with the high performance of an advanced sports car.
Many experts within the motoring world have praised Tufvesson for the high level of quality and attention to detail on his cars. The whole exterior and interior design has also received equal amounts of acclaim – an area where Leif has collaborated with car designer Per Gyllenspetz, who, with his 20 years of design experience, has guided the design.
A number of the car's different components deserve special mention. The removable composite hardtop is a great example of Tufvesson's craftsmanship. The three integrated rear-view cameras, the advanced techniques of the rear lights as well as the CAD-milled aluminum details such as wheel spindles, exhaust panel, interior details and the lamp housing for the Hella Xenon headlights. A detail such as the temperature controlled hood that opens automatically for additional cooling just shows how everything has been completely well thought through.
And finally, Tufvesson has also succeeded in producing an extremely inspiring exhaust note from Volvo's new V8 engin. It sounds more racing than cruising, which is perhaps the hallmark of a real Sport Rod.

This is a follow-up to the story about the rural Chinese children who are left behind as their parents go away to find employment in cities. The video produced by QQ is subtitled in English but is otherwise unfriendly to audiences outside China (there's no embed option, the download link exists but doesn't seem to work, and the repost links all go to Chinese sites). Anyway, this is the same video on YouTube, which makes it a lot easier to share.

The model, which is based on "facilitated" care rather than managed care, emphasizes crisis intervention and a strong medical orientation. The HMO contracted with seven psychiatrists to provide treatment and helped develop a value system shared by the physicians and hospital staff A clinician represented the HMO on the unit and played a key decision-making role in patient care. A total of 4,945 patients were admitted over five years. Costs per admission were reduced 47 percent during this period; the readmission rate was 1 6.9 percent. implementation of the model resuited in the delivery of high-quality cost-effective care.

We look forward to helping South American King Air owners fly safer and to make the most of their aircraft investments." Wilken said the installation costs approximately $200,000, would be done at Elliott's Moline, Ill. facility and requires about two weeks to complete.

NBCNEWS.COM Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said revelations in a book written by a retired Navy SEAL on the raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden could put future operations in jeopardy and suggested that the writer should be punished for writing the best-seller.
In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, Panetta was asked if he thinks the writer should be prosecuted. "I think we have to take steps to make clear to him and to the American people that we're not going to accept this kind of behavior," Panetta said.

Minimalistic Japanese design for Marusho. In 2011 japanese food producer Marusho won the Grand Prix award at the Hiroshima Art Directors Club.

Kagua beer labelPosted by rod - 28.09.2012
"KAGUA's art director is a young and energetic artist working in Japan and internationally. His main aim is to create a very simple and well-honed image, while also reflecting Japan's gentle and meditative nature. Connecting to its guaranteed quality, KAGUA's logo is inspired by a traditional seal, which Japanese have been using as signatures for centuries.
To showcase KAGUA in the global marketplace, he uses two traditional colors: "akane-iro" (Japanese madder, or deep red) and "gofun-iro" (Japanese ultra-light yellow).
The distinctive bottle and label design, showing simplicity and humbleness that complements any cuisine, is one of KAGUA's most fundamental values." via ohbeautifulbeer

Yo sushi baggage claimPosted by rod - 08.08.2012
What do you get when you take the Japanese Kaiten concept and place it into a baggage claim conveyor belt at a Airport? You get the perfect advertising idea for Yo Sushi. London based creative design studio WrightObara came up with the brilliant concept for the restaurant chain.
Here is Tom Buch's explanation of the project process:
"I wanted to explore the potential for design and adaptation of the Yo Sushi brand. Their brand is playful, scattered with quirky characters and colour. I think a strong, bold illustration style could help solidify their ideals. More colour, more imagination and more fun.
I started the process by modelling one of their in house characters, a japanese girl. Inspired by her I started drawing, and developed this Illustration style. A bold and playful world of sushi. I then digitally painted my illustration and broke it down into planes before bringing it back into the 3D software.
At WrightObara we came up with a concept/opportunity. They have restaurants situated in airports, we saw the potential for advertising on the tracks of the baggage claim. The concept was to mimic a sushi carousel. I produced an animation and a working carousel with the dynamics engine in Cinema 4D."

Japanese visual identity Siraoi SuihinPosted by rod - 19.07.2012
There is not a lot of information about this Japanese visual identityand packaging project named Siraoi Suihin but I really like it. I especially like the Japanese typeface which is used for the logo. I guess that the company which the design is for is from the northern Japanese island Hokkaido. Japanese graphic design Terashima designed it.

Japanese handcrafted typography posterPosted by rod - 06.07.2012
I love it when designers experiment with typography. Especially when the written word or phrase has been taken out of its usual black ink on white paper environment. Japanese designer Masayuki Terashima created this awesome hand cut typographic poster for the Ikenobo Sapporo Exhibition. Masayuki is not the first person who I have featured on CreativeRoots who got physical with typography. You should definitely check out these handcrafted typographic posters and this awesome Cardboard signage system.

Japanese woodworkPosted by rod - 22.06.2012
Japan is a nation that has a long lasting tradition in carpentry, using traditional Japanese methods and special Japanese tools. Designer Keiji Yoshihara is a masters at his trade that dates back several hundred years.
Yoshihara mastered the technique of kumiko. The method dates back over 800 years and involves creating pattern and form from exactly cut, interlocked strips of wood.
The traditional wood-carved boxes above use the Nikkobori method that originated from the Nikko city in Tochigi Prefecture. The technique involves that the wood is dried for a period of time, six months to three years. Local flora patterns are usually carved with a tool called a hikaki into the boxes. The boxes above are about as big as an A4 piece of paper. via core77

Digital map of Tokyo for the Tokyo SkytreePosted by rod - 14.06.2012
On the 22nd of May the Tokyo Skytree opened its doors making it Japans highest structure. The innovative guys from Team Lab designed a digital map (mural) of Tokyo which was exhibited at the Skytree.
"Tokyo has no particular hero or heroines. Each one of us and our stories are creating the excitement of Tokyo. In Japanese art, there are works that includes vast amount of information without center, but with flat viewpoint that focusing on everything even stories of people. For example, Rakuchu Rakugai-zu( Scenes In and Around Kyoto) and Edo-zu Byobu(Edo Scenes Folding Screen)
We draw Tokyo as a flat, no-center city with full of information in details, by restructuring the means of drawing for Ukiyoe(Color print of everyday life in Edo Period) and other print works, that are famous in Edo period, with current technology.
In Tokyo, it becomes harder to distinguish things that physically exist from virtual things that are created and existing in Manga(comics) and animations.
If we take a look at the traditional Japanese art work called Hyakkiyakou(Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), it is predictable that may be Japan was originally the country with such environment(mix real things and virtual things) in earlier age.Thank to appearance of internet, people's imagination explodes and it started to overflow into Tokyo, and finally started to change the reality.
Evolution of technology can also evolve the progress of human beings. Based on this conviction, this is an art work drawing a city changing from Edo to Tokyo, and to the future, with large amount of information that beyond the limits of human being."

Japanese Noh WhiskyPosted by rod - 05.06.2012
The Japanese Karuizawa distillery has a rather interesting vintage whisky range, called Noh Whisky. The lable design was inspired by the Japanese Noh theater, which is classical Japanese musical drama, performed since the 14th century. It would be interesting to know why the distillery decided to brand this whiskies range with traditional Noh performers and masks.

Japanese symbolsPosted by rod - 11.05.2012
Origami crane
Noble woman
Taiko drum
Geta sandal
Lacquered bowl
Japan has a strong history and visual culture which is widely spread around the world. Icons such as the Koi fish, Kimono or the noble woman are instantly recognisable as being Japanese.
New York designer Christopher Dina designed these lovely Japanese symbols for the "Japan Day" at the Central park 2012. The icons above represent Japanese arts and crafts, fashion, pop culture, music and more.
I love the simplicity of these Japanese symbols, I also like the main image where all symbols are places into central park surrounded by trees and the city buildings.
If I would live in New York I would definitely check out the event and get stuck into all the activities. via designboom

ie6 tax now!
Its not that i cant get the layouts to look the same way - its just that everything takes for ever and ever to debug, to get it right, after all I have been doing this since 96 - so I survived the browser war, the dot com crash, and even got dhtml to work in both ie5 and navigator 4. But its getting absurd with ie6 - it is now 2 (two!) versions behind ie8. Which means that we the front end developers have to create websites for a browsers thats 6 years old, its destroying all enjoyment of our job + stopping all progress, for the browsers, when we have to go for the lowest entry all the time.
Here in the small kingdom of Denmark we still have 14% of the day to day users that are using ie6 WTF I thought that .dk was on the frontline of tech? but even the danish schoolsystem are still sucking the sacky tits of ie6, my GF's a school teacher and i banned IE6 on all computers in our home - yes thats the only time ive sat my foot down, which had the result that there were pages that she coudnt see from the school system (examination material WTF!)
Goddammit please coudnt ie6 just die, please upgrade to ie7 (or even ie8... firefox if you wanna get xtra street cred.).
Enough of the crying
I have just changed my day to day timetracking and billing software to Harvest, while playing around with it and getting everything translated to my native language: danish. I came to the tax fields, offcourse added our normal 25% tax (moms) but then theres another field names #tax 2... hmmm coudnt I could use that field for something usefull? ... oooh IE6 tax! If the client wants to have a site to Rock on a 6 year old browser, as hard as it does on the modern browser - Well then hes gotta pay for it. -yeah we love taxing here in dk -and dont wanna pay private insurances at the same amount [*]( yeah yeah its communism ....yadi yadi - please read up on your political science before the parania takes over dk is not a socialistic contry).
you want ie6 support - pay up!
So from now on if a client wanna have the same design & functionality as in the modern browsers (ie7,ie8, firefox & safari, opera family) then they have to pay for it. It takes roughly around 30% of my time on a project to correct for ie6 bugs.
It dosnt mean that the website aint gonna work in ie6, but it will be a cleaner non sexy version. No rounded borders, no fixing for transparent png's, no margin padding correction etc. So the site will still work, but it will not be sexy hot.
puuuh enough of the ranting ;)

the kinda gets the "ooooh so if we wanna have all that transparent shit, then you cant do that in ie6" ... well fuck em who uses a 6 year old browser anyways that filled with security issues. But lets se whats really gonna happend when the shit hits the fan - im gonna keep it out in the open, cause we need to get this debate raised now out in the open.
Clients often understand.. it the
In my experience clients often understand in most cases the problem is with the system administrator in the basement that can't be bothered with update all machines in the organization... because he is to lazy and much rather want to play tetris...
Designers vs. system administrators can begin .... Ding Ding!
Here Here!
I salute you taking action on this issue. IE6 is a royal pain in the backside.
IE6 support as an optional
I usually include IE6 support as an optional (estimated as 25% of total front end time) when making estimates. Nothing cheeky about it - just being transparent for the customer.
Some choose the whole package, and some choose af dumbed down, but fully functional version for IE6. I recommend the latter, where full support (because of transparency, fancy selectors etc.) is to costly.
need an employer?
I'm so sick of being forced to complete my work in less time than what is needed, and that's even without IE6 support, add that to the timeframe and u can see why I never ever finish a project in the time I was given... yet I always get blamed for this because "I'm not fast enough"
I've already proposed to add IE6 support separately or let me have it degrade nicely, but nooooo, "it's been done, so it shouldn't be a problem"... ugh
so... any chance u need a coder/themer/front-end developer who can work from a different country (but in the same timezone)? :D
hmm mnaaah not at the moment
If my business should get bigger I would first look for a project manager and another designer ;)
but it is a pain. i just hope as more and more of us are stepping up. It woudnt be outragious if we charged for say making it work on a iphone with a seperate theme ;)
Kill IE6
Kill IE6 once and 4 all. It's our responsibility as web developers to say no to IE6. This means, in the long run, that the web will get better since we can spend more time doing what's funny and less time frontending for old browsers.
On my company we have removed IE6 from our quotes. However, we still want it to be functional, for some reason. Personally I think it's better if it's not functional, because then end-users will complain to their it-departments and then they will be forced to update. Not updating IE6 is for me equal to manslaughter, or possibly rape.
I know IE6 sux balls, but
I know IE6 sux balls, but when 25% of the masses still use it, unfortunately it cannot be ignored. 25% == customers && customers == profit. Most importantly, profit > CSS3 && HTML5 shenanigans, because profit == food. So until 25% becomes 5%, there's nothing we can do about the situation except continue to hate Microsoft. Don't punish your clients for it, it's not their fault Microsoft sux. Instead, out of protest for the oppressive monopolistic software giant, switch OSs to Mac or Linux, pirate all Microsoft programs, and tell all your friends to do the same.
well somebody has to pay
The big problem is here that the client wants all the new hotness AND ie6 support, So he ether have to pay for the new hotness or the old crap, if he dont wanna do that he better choose what he wants. If we as developers keep pretending that its the same price to get everything, then were digging our own grave. If a client dont wanna understand this or thinks that he can everything (because its not extra work to get the same result in ie6-7 & 8) well then my answer to them will be: Good luck.
The numbers here in dk is now down to 12% http://www.fdim.dk/?pageid=89 and we are by far the most microsoft horny country in the world - or as m$ guys are saying it the wish that everycountry was as the danes.
Im laying it out for my customers so they know what they are paying for.

May 9th ♥ 横山裕 (Yokoyama Yuu)
Yuu-chan joined the agency in December 1996. His mother signed him up because he thought her son was better looking than a classmate who was also a junior. Johnny-san himself changed his given name "Kimitaka" to "YOU" since he thought that was easier.
Due to his poor background Yoko never went to high school and was instead sent to work to make money for his family. In 2004, he and his kansai bandmates went on and debut as Kanjani8. Although he is the oldest member, he has no intention to become the leader. Murakami Shingo and him are usually in charge of the MC parts. Yoko is also the master mind behind "Kanjani Sentai Eight Ranger", a skit he created for concerts.
He was raised by his mother and grandfather, when they both passed away he decided he'd be in charge of his brothers and always likes to mention how much he loves them. He often writes lyrics for the group, and some of them are about and dedicated to his mother and grandfather.
Nowadays, he and the rest of the group are preparing the movie version of Yoko's original creation called "Eight Ranger".
Happy 31st Birthday! お誕生日おめでとう!~
wth the first picture!! hilarious xD
