Steven A. Johnson of Foodservice Solutions and our Grocerant Guru sent me a note the other day:

"The food space is getting fun with the return of Wild Oats and Private Label food from Amazon. Is Amazon-branded groceries on the way? Their new job posts hint at a possibility"

Even AllThingsD felt compelled to address amazon expanding its own private label offering to supermarket goods (actually they don't know the industry term is CPG for Consumer Packaged Goods)

Private Label (Store Brands) Growing Across All Channels

The Private Label Manufacturers Association says Store Brands are Growing Across All Channels. According to the PLMA "Among the country's supermarkets, store brands experienced a record year for annual sales in 2012. (for 2012) Sales totaled $59 billion and with a private label unit share of 23.1% and dollar share of 19.1%". Additionally they point to this "Looking beyond traditional supermarket outlets… no-frills retailer Aldi and Costco Wholesale, specialty chains like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, as well as convenience stores… likely produce a grand total in store brand sales of more than $120 billion."

If you live by a Trader Joe's, you are seeing a small footprint limited assortment format retailer built around selling a majority of foods carrying the chain's own branding.

Amazon Dominates E-Commerce

Amazon continues to dominate e-commerce, 2012 figures are $61 Billion Annually. Anecdotally I hear from many friends and colleagues that Amazon is becoming the first stop for their shopping needs. Even diapers! That's right, Amazon purchased Diapers.com to be a mom's easy choice for shopping. Why?

Well think this way… if you have children you know that diapers are not heavy… but they are bulky and you use a lot! Just perfect for Amazon. Wait! Amazon is now planning on setting up fulfillment centers in Procter & Gambles facilities to get you more P&G products really fast… even same day delivery. And don't ignore Amazon Fresh either!

So let's get back to food. Amazon has a great brand but can that brand umbrella be extended to private label foods? So I asked Steve for some deeper insight here.

Steve, What do you see happening in CPG retail that is driving Amazon to emulate what supermarkets are doing today to drive sales with their own products?

Answer: Amazon is first and foremost looking for the "Last Mile Solution". They are looking for the most efficient way to deliver products, selling and delivering fresh food places them in neighborhoods daily. More important companies the ilk of Safeway, Publix, and Marsh continue to focus on legacy metrics like slotting fees and "basket size" while consumers are interested in fresh prepared Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat meal options. Amazon's goal of garnering 2.5% grocery market share may not be so difficult when they add private label products.

Retailers like Trader Joes, have built their business on Private Brand. However TJ has a focus on products that are unique and do not have a national brand equivalent. Do you really think Amazon can move in this direction OR do you see them basically knocking off National Brands with me too items?

Answer: Wild Oats is about to begin giving Trader Joe's a run for their money with small footprint print "better for you" private label food. Amazon has had success with a global footprint. Amazon's ability to cull from the best of the best around the world and sell into the melting pot that is the United States will be powerful.

I am not clear how their Private Brand will help drive Amazon. So what am I missing?

Answer: Margins will provide cover for both competitive pricing and brand relevance. The Halo of good will from loyal Amazon prime members can't be discounted or under estimated.

Going back to Trader Joes, many of their Private Brand partners are smaller innovative food manufacturers… so there is an open door for the "little guy". Do you see the same opportunity for smaller food brands to have a new opportunity with Amazon that is missing in the bricks and mortar retail grocers?

Answer: Amazon has a network of local and small retailers all offering products today. With the development of new Amazon distribution warehouse all around the country the ability to stock local will be much easier than you think.

So How Do You Sell Food to Amazon?

The Strong Growth In Private Label Brands suggests that food entrepreneurs either develop strategies to avoid losing shelf space to store brands or consider creating private brand offerings. Additionally read Steve's article on How Amazon Selects Food Vendors… you may be surprised to learn just how focused they are on delivering your next meal.

I am getting that low level squeal in my left channel of my ESP's. Is there any fix I can do or do I have to send them in for repair?
I don't think I can survive 6-8 weeks without these things.
I am getting that low level squeal in my left channel of my ESP's. Is there any fix I can do or do I have to send them in for repair?
I don't think I can survive 6-8 weeks without these things.
Bought mine $499 at J&R circa 1992/93
I was looking for an elegant solution to the same problem. Last week, I just wrapped some tightly-stretched electrical tape around both knobs, thus locking them together. Problem solved and it doesn't look half bad. Also provides a better grip. Completely reversible.
Now THAT is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Thank you for posting that. What sort of psychopath thought that this was a good design? I mean, who need a balance control on a headphone amp??
I actually like dual volume controls, since they allow both vol and balance adjustments without adding parts to the signal path. The concentric controls on the Koss do not seem to turn together very well, so I turn the one that moves first, then tweak the other one to achieve channel balance, e.g., to center the vocalist.... It's not ideal, but I can live with it.
But again, why a balance control on a HP amp? It's like a train with a steering wheel...
Because electrostatic headphones can be subject to channel imbalance.
Then would you not want to send it in for repair ?
Well I've only owned a pair of the ESP 950's for about 15 minutes, but I have to say I'm pretty impressed.
No, it's really like having a balance control on an audio system, comprised of imperfect components, playing imperfect recordings, where small balance adjustments can lock in the soundstage/imaging to a surprising degree.
I think the issue is not whether to have a balance control or not. the issue is that it's nearly impossible to adjust the volume without affecting the balance. As you know, the channel balance is very important and it's changed every time you adjust the volume.
Look at Stax amps. They have balance control, but you have to make an effort to adjust it.
For the Koss amp, I either tape the two knobs together or I also have a white line on both knobs so at least I can visually line up the white lines to know that I am at equal output levels.
I just hold both parts of the knob between my thumb and index finger and never really have a problem adjusting volume without throwing balance out of whack. Grip a little tighter than you normally do.
I bet that advice has even saved a marriage or two

Ugly Me
Inside every person, exists some base instincts. Recently, I found those instincts inside of myself and they are not something I like or want.
I greatly enjoyed the company of a female friend, I found myself unable to stop talking around her, drunk with joy as it were. I find myself very happy just talking to her. After some spurring on by friends, I attempted asking her if a relationship beyond friendship would interest her at all and it did not.
As noted by a mutual friend, both of us agreeing on this being fine was a very non-standard outcome to this. I thought nothing of this, but I shortly found in myself a great insecurity, a great desire to prove myself "good enough" to be liked in the same way I perceived her to like others
My talking increased, my stress increased, my emotions became unhinged and I jumped at every oppourtunity to "be a friend" and spend time with this person. Interpretation of actions, behaviour, body language and even non-actions would occupy my thoughts, I would react to slights that didn't happen or take a joke as an insult and other such "wonderful" things.
I assume I must've somehow convinced myself that I could prove myself to be just "awesome" and be appreciated as such, but in my efforts to do so, I instead became wanting, intrusive, controlling, paranoid, emotionally unstable and... well, I became a bit of a nightmare.
The female became unobtainable so I became even more driven and wanted to "win", to quote a good friend of mine.
That is the ugly side of our instincts, the ugly side of what might be termed "love".
But knowing what it is, what's going on inside of my head... I finally feel like I can let it go. It feels as if I can finally move on.
I had a dream the other night and in it, I let go of the person (figuratively) and we went on and lived our lives. It felt like I had accepted reality more than I'd had a dream.
I don't feel nearly as vulnerable, angry or horrible... I don't feel ugly anymore.

So. Many. Buttons.
As anyone on the Internet knows by now, it doesn't take much to impress a baby: A Katy Perry song, solid food, and their own eyebrows all make the grade. But the lowest threshold for amazement belongs to a boy whose mind is blown by the mere appearance of a remote control.
How to describe his reaction to glimpsing this perfectly mundane object? The closest comparison would be astronaut Dave Bowman hurtling through a psychedelic wormhole toward the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey—wide-eyed, open-mouthed, entire nervous system alight.
Just wait till he discovers the actual TV.

Listing shortage: California house hunters face 10% fewer choicesFebruary 19th, 2017, 12:00 pm by By JONATHAN LANSNER
Frustrated Southern California house hunters, you're not alone!
Limited homebuying options is a statewide problem with California listings of existing single-family homes down 10.5 percent in the year ended in January, according to the California Association of Realtors.
How tight is supply? Last month, the Unsold Inventory Index showed 3.7 months worth of homes are available to buy statewide vs. 4.3 months in January 2016.
Supply was down in Southern California counties, too. Los Angeles had 3.6 months worth in January ...

Science for Informed Decisions
BOEM must comply with numerous environmental statutes, regulations, and executive orders to carry out its mission. BOEM is dedicated to acquiring and using the highest quality scientific information in support of Bureau decisions. To that end, the Environmental Studies Program (ESP) employs a rigorous planning, review and procurement process to meet the nation's environmental research needs for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) resource assessments.
The ESP in Headquarters and Regional program offices prepare the annual Studies Development Plans (SDP) to cover a three-year planning period. The plan includes brief study descriptions or profiles that describe proposed studies for the upcoming fiscal year and for one successive year. These studies are designed to collect the information necessary to meet the needs of the users, including BOEM scientists, rule writers, modelers, and decision makers. Proposed studies are evaluated for program relevance, programmatic timeliness, and scientific merit. Additional program oversight is provided by the National Academies Committee on Environmental Science and Assessment for Ocean Energy Management to provide independent, scientifically credible and objective information on issues relevant to BOEM's environmental studies and assessment activities and to support discussions on relevant issues. Collectively, these inputs contribute to the development of research plans.
Current and Previous SDPs
While the SDP serves a primarily internal planning function, it is a publicly available document and is used to communicate the proposed studies both internally within BOEM and externally with potential partners and other interested parties. The SDP and resulting studies undergo peer review at several stages to ensure the quality of the work proposed. When completed, the annual SDP forms the basis for the National Studies List (NSL).
To formulate the NSL, the offices in each Region and Headquarters develop a priority order for the many studies proposed in their SDP's. These lists are evaluated again by Headquarters, principally considering program relevance, timing, and budgetary constraints. Discussions are conducted with each of the program offices and when consensus is achieved, the NSL is recommended for approval. Once the annual appropriations for the Department have been approved, studies on the NSL are procured via competitive procurements, cooperative agreements with a State institution or university, or through inter/intra agency agreements with other Federal agencies.
It is important to note that the NSL is subject to change throughout the course of the year as conditions warrant and due to budgetary constraints.
The Environmental Studies Program (ESP) anticipates pursuing awards in Fiscal year 2015 for projects encompassing all scientific disciplines and on all coasts of the United States, listed in the following table. The information in this table is for planning purposes only and all awards are subject to change and availability of funds. As individual project announcements become available, the Study Titles will be linked to the appropriate website for application or proposal information:

Tonight at Slam Nuba: Tight competition and guest poet Sierra DeMulder
That Minnesota slam poet Sierra DeMulder commands an audience is a given: The high-ranked word-slinger helped the St. Paul Poetry Slam Team take the nationals two years in a row, and that's the top line on a list of kudos she's received over the last few years.
The author of the poetry volume The Bones Below, DeMulder is also the featured guest at tonight's Slam Nuba session, where the competition is getting fiercer and fiercer and things are edging ever closer to the final slam-off on April 6 that will determine the members of MasterMind-winning Slam Nuba's 2012 national team.
Slam Nuba won the nationals last year, and so the suspense is already building. Who will be on the roster this round? And can the team repeat last year's victory?
Tonight's event starts with an hourlong workshop at 6 p.m. and signup starts at 7:30 p.m.; open-mike is at 8 p.m. and the slamming proper at 9 p.m., all at Crossroads Theater. Admission is $5 ($10 for the workshop and slam); for information visit the Facebook event page.

Mars candy isn't the only shrinking product
When was the last time you bought a half-gallon of ice cream or a pound of coffee.
The question arises because of the recent publicity about candy maker Mars preparing to make some of its candy bars, including Snickers and Mars smaller, in the name of reducing the number of calories to 250 apiece. That's 4% less of a Mars candy bar and 11% less of a Snickers. The change will come in 2013.

Food companies have made their products smaller for years rather than increase price. It happens every time the economy struggles or commodity prices rise. Grocery store shelves carry per-unit prices of many products so savvy consumers can see the price rise but how many check?
When profits are pinched, a company has three options: raise the price, substitute lower-cost ingredients or make the product smaller, says Cal State Fullerton marketing professor Chiranjeev Kohli. While he argues that most consumers can't remember exact pricing of most products they buy, they are more aware when the price goes up than when they get a little less for the same price.
For years most ice cream has been sold in 1.75 or 1.50 quarts instead of half-gallon (two quarts) containers. And most brands of coffee come in 13-ounce or even 10.5-ounce containers instead of the old 16-ounce (pound) can. (And coffee doesn't come in cans anymore, but that's another story.)
Companies have many ways of subtly reducing the amount of product customers: fewer saltine crackers per stack; an indented bottom on peanut butter jars so they hold less; cereal boxes that are the same height and width, so they look the same on the store shelf, but they're thinner; fewer squares on toilet tissue rolls.

You don't have to be a prince (charming or otherwise), to gain entry to Club 33, the private members' establishment at 33 Royal Street on the Disneyland estate in California, but having the deep pockets of royalty probably helps.
For the first time in a decade, 100 people on the waiting list (which currently hovers around the 1,000 mark) are to be invited to sign on the line and gain access to the trophy room, bar and restaurant, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the interior of the royal yacht Britannia. The cost of access to the club (where guests can request Mickey's presence at dinner at any point), behind-the-scenes tours and 365-day passes to the park which members get as standard? The clubhouse of mouse doesn't come cheap: it's a cool $35,000, comprising a one-off joining fee of $25,000 and then yearly dues of $10,000 on top of that. Evidently the vertiginous fees have proved a little too much for some of the more obsessive Mickey fans who've paid up.
A gold crested Club 33 mug is on sale on eBay and has a top bid of $99, while a white paper napkin is currently going for $25.

We congratulate Vancouver SA'er "Zonker" and his family on recently completing a long circumnavigation, but we congratulate the parents more on raising an incredible young lady (and wonderful writer) en route. We were blown away when we read a speech the home/boat-schooled Maia prepared for a group of female sailors; here's an excerpt:
As many of you know, I've been sailing around the world since I was little.
I've completed my circumnavigation, just a few days ago actually.
We left Vancouver, Canada when I was seven, and we've sailed 37000 nautical miles miles. I've spent over half my life on our catamaran, which isn't exactly a normal childhood. But it is a great one. There are ups and downs, as there are in anything, and it's taught me a lot about my self and the world.
Hopefully it's made me a better person, and at the very least, it's made me one with more exotic anecdotes than I might've had if we stayed on land.
I was nine when I did the Puddlejump, and most of my time was spent doing school, reading, constructing elaborate desserts out of play-doh, and counting the flying fish that had ended up in our nets.
Now that I'm older, things are a little different.
I still do school and I still read, but now I listen to podcasts, cook, clean, take watches, binge watch TV when I'm feeling lazy and write stories when I'm feeling productive.
Passages are a chance to take a break from the outside world and do all the things you've been meaning to do but never got around to.
So write. Read. Play an instrument, paint a picture. If you have good balance, do some yoga. If you're still in school, catch up on it. Fish. Make sushi if you catch a fish! I seldom catch fish.
Enjoy yourself and your time away from the world.
You're also away from the internet, which can be very, very hard. About three days out, I start getting twitchy.
What's happening? What are my friends doing? What's going on in the world?
But now I've begun to view my time away from the WiFi as a way to decompress, if you will. The internet is a marvellous tool but it can get stressful too. And another cool thing about crossing the Pacific Ocean is that you get serious bragging rights. That's something you can bring up at parties and at school for the rest of your life.
Kids on boats. I'm sure you all get a lot of questions from people who don't live on boats.
Are you just taking a break? Do you go to a new school everywhere you travel? How do you keep up with the world?
And at least with me, a more than a few people have assumed that I'm a maladjusted, anti-social weirdo because of my unconventional childhood.
But you know what; I think we're pretty cool.
We're seeing more of the world at this young age than many of our peers ever will.
Many of us make friends with people all over the world, and we learn more about the earth and its issues than you ever will by reading about it in a newspaper or a history book.
One of my favourite parts of cruising is the chance to meet women all over the world, from so many different backgrounds.
When I was in Fiji, we met the oldest female chief in the country and took part in a traditional sevu-sevu ceremony. She was in her nineties, and her skin was dark and worn from the sun. She smiled at me joyfully as I offered her the kava roots I held.
When I bought a sari in Sri Lanka, women would stop on the streets to offer their own ways of wrapping it and to tell me their stories of their first sari. A twenty year old plantation worker had helped me wrap it for the first time, busily folding and pleating the silk as she explained how most Sri Lankan girls would have a party to celebrate getting their first sari, similar to a Bat Mitzvah or a Quinceañera. I still have that sari, carefully tucked away and protected from damp. It still smells like fresh black tea, and I still remember practising wrapping it and folding it over and over again in the cockpit of my boat until I could do it in five minutes. The first time I tried it, it took about thirty minutes.

Big Pimpin'
We've all watched the world of big, high performance cruising cats come alive with a vengeance over the past few years, and Hudson Hakes has become one of the leaders of the continuing revolution. In association with our friends at Seahorse Mag, here's more about what HH has in the pipeline.
Hudson Hakes HH66
Large performance multihulls offer the best of all worlds – sailing excitement, comfort and style, both racing and cruising – and are entering their next generation with the recent launching of the HH66 catamaran, built by Hudson Yacht & Marine. This is the latest in a long series of designs from Californiabased Morrelli & Melvin, who have been leaders in not only finding the right balance but also optimising the competing elements of speed, style and reliability into bold new innovative designs. Couple this design refinement with one of the world's largest integrated production builders in advanced composites and the results are spectacular.
Hudson's history in building large performance cats goes back several years, with eight 60ft fast luxury multihulls already under their belt. Builder Paul Hakes's own relationship with Gino Morrelli goes back further with the development of small, fast cats like the SL33, introduced in 2008 for the European lake sailing market. This fast 650kg, 10m design also caught the attention of America's Cup contenders of the day who were new to the multihull genre, both Luna Rossa and Team New Zealand getting their own boats to play with as they learned more about multihull sailing and design.
Yet Hakes and Morrelli actually go back further still, to Hakes's days at Cookson Boats during the building of Steve Fossett's Jules Verne-contender PlayStation, a 100ft monster from the late 1990s designed by Morrelli & Melvin. It was here that Hakes got a taste for the uniquely high static and dynamic loading inherent to big cats and the structures needed to accommodate these loads in an offshore performance context.
In design evolution Hakes says the HH66 differs slightly from its 60ft predecessors – they're not only larger for size sake, but based on feedback from the 60ft owners. 'They found that the 60ft design was large enough to accommodate the owners and their guests, but not to comfortably accommodate the minimum two full-time crew needed to manage a boat of this size and complexity,' said Hakes
'Many thought that one or at most two crew would be sufficient for boat handling and the maintenance and operation of simple onboard systems, but as these boats became more complex it became apparent that two pros were needed to allow the owner and guests a measure of comfort when making journeys of any significant length.'
Another important element in the new design is the evolution from centreboards to daggerboards. At 6m long and fabricated using 300kg of carbon, the latest boards are curved slightly inboard for efficiency. And this configuration is efficient, giving a 20% boost in lift/drag efficiency and generating up to 3 tons of lift. Fully deployed these boards yield a 4m draft; but when cruising in shallower waters the boat still performs well with them partly raised.
The T-shaped rudders of the HH66 contribute as well, generating 800kg of lift to help dampen pitching, in turn increasing comfort and speed. In total the foils generate nearly 4 tons of lift when the boat is at speed.
With all this load, the boards inevitably have to be robust: the designed static load limit is 8.5 tons and the dynamic load limit much greater. To ensure reliability, HYM fully test each board before installation. The daggerboard is also engineered to take 0.5m deflection at 17 tons of load, with a breaking strength of twice this amount. But it's important that the engineered maximum load is not too high: if the boat grounds at high speed the foil needs to break and not the boat.
This kind of tailored engineering is possible due to the scale of HYM's operation; there is complete digital control on the design, tooling and fabrication of parts both large and small. This vertical integration in the design process allowed Morrelli to nearly achieve his ideal design scenario, leaving the hull shapes to be the last element in the design process – because all the other constituent pieces of the boat, their weight and their position help drive the choice of hull shapes needed to maximise performance.
Having said this, the HH66 hull design is a bit more generous than seen on other similar cats, in part because Morrelli and Hakes agree that when owner specification and cruising gear inevitably tip the scales beyond the original design weight, the effects on hull trim are less pronounced with a less deleterious effect on performance.
There are other practical elements that make the HH66 distinguishable from the previous generation of this genre: for example, rather than install complex and enormously expensive co-generation electrical systems that limit fossil-fuel dependence but historically lead to myriad problems, the HH66 is powered by two old-school but highly efficient 80hp Yanmar marine diesels. Being easily driven, this big cat does not consume much fuel anyway; a calculation made for a client interested in trans-Atlantic crossings found that if the wind stopped completely and it became necessary to proceed under power, at a modest 6kt the boat would have a range of about 1,500 miles… not bad.
If a client does insist on having a carbon-free platform to cruise the world, HYM can accommodate it, having invested on the previousgeneration boats in the development of retractable skegs, lithium battery banks, dualpropulsion/ generation prop systems, solar panels, 280V electric engines and the energymanagement systems to control them all. Not such an easy fix on a remote Pacific isle, though…
Armed with a team of 25 in-house engineers and designers at HYM, Hakes is able to efficiently translate design concepts into reality across an entire project, since these boats are built from strong, stable carbon tooling to optimise longterm cost and production efficiency. This is particularly important, given that HYM now has no fewer than six of these 66-footers in production.
Yet, as Paul points out, 'production' is a relative term for these boats, when each of the owners and their project managers have specific requirements in their choices of deck and interior layouts, onboard equipment and the systems needed to support the functionality of each choice.
'Our in-house engineering and design staff work with our clients to lay out the options,' says Hakes, 'This makes the process easy and efficient. We integrate the design and engineering of the tooling and components, then put parameters on the options, so performance is not unreasonably sacrificed and the overall design concept is not compromised. This is important when we go through a fabrication process of several months, while we try to stay within reasonable timelines and deliver the quality the customer expects as well as the reliability to ensure problem-free sailing over the long term.'
An example of how HYM can customise a production boat is in steering station choices. The last generation of luxury performance cats had steering stations located forward in the boat, either fully or partially enclosed within the cabin structure. While certainly secure from the weather, this also limited the helmsman's ability to have any visceral feel for the boat, an element in sailing that every sailor needs. With the high speeds possible for these big fast cats, Hakes and Morrelli also felt that it would be safer to have weight trimmed further aft in the boat.
To address this and the practical matter of how to dock a boat that is nearly as wide as it is long, HYM's engineers came up with a clever solution in the helm station, where not only are there seats available to accommodate the helm on each hull, but the steering pedestals themselves rotate to allow greater visibility in close manoeuvres (see photo of HH66, above).
'This was a complex feature that we were only able to achieve with the help of efficient fabrication based on our digital design tools,' says Hakes. 'It would not have been practical without this facility.'
The helm detail is just one of many factors that elevate the HH66 and set her apart from her predecessors and other market offerings. State-of-the-art technical details, cutting-edge design, bestpractice construction and attention to detail combine, setting a new standard in the realm of luxury performance cruising multihulls.
HYM and Morrelli & Melvin have achieved a bold, yet refined, dualpurpose yacht that will undoubtedly propel the brand into the future. The first HH66 is already turning heads in Valencia and is sure to stun when she makes her official debut in Cannes this autumn.

We couldn't resist. Got PIB (Pussy On Board) stories? Here's the thread.
August 8th, 2016 by admin
Mankind has been decimating oceans since the first hominid figured out how to sew a net, and the net effect on sea life – fish stocks a tiny fraction of their size just a few decades ago, coral reef and major species extinction, and worldwide pollution – has been horrifying. But one group of critters has not only dodged the bullet – they're thriving nearly everywhere.
That's the conclusion of a recent study in Current Biology, as reported by Gizmodo.
Something strange is happening to the oceans. As coral reefs wither and fisheries collapse, octopuses are multiplying like mad. As soon as they perceive weakness, they will amass an army and invade the land, too.
Okay, that last statement is probably pure paranoia. But it is a bit unsettling that cephalopods—squids, octopuses, cuttlefish—are booming, and scientists don't know why. An analysis published today in Current Biology indicates that numerous species across the world's oceans have increased in numbers since the 1950s.
There are plenty of theories to explain the "squid…squid…boom!" effect, but nothing concrete just yet. We urge our Anarchist cruiser/fisherman friends to add these tasty cephalopods to your onboard fishing target list – they're mostly easy to catch compared to more gamey fish (the experience of reeling in a 10 KG giant squid on a rod-and-reel is a truly special one) and they're a great source of protein. Octopus require traps or spears, but squid are almost everywhere and you can learn to catch them here.

This Question Of The Week comes from PNW sailor 'wristwister'. Got your own hellish experience with a sewing machine or some advice? Share yours.
The first cushion looks like absolute crap. I'll probably chuck it and do it again.
The second cushion is marginally acceptable, feeling pretty good about that one.
I completely botched up the third cushion last night. Tossed it in the trash.
…and early on I realized my old machine wasn't up to the task so I spent some bucks on a more suitable machine.
But I must say, the ladies down at the fabric store are getting a real kick out of me. A clueless man walks in and they kind of gather around and trip over each other trying to help me.
Any of you do your own upholstery? After you finished the boat, did you toss the machine and say "fuck that, never again"?!

For every bikini-babe-clad voyage like Elizabeth's milk run or the No Expats assfest, there are a thousand sailors living real life on the water. They live a cramped and stinky life, they never see the green flash (unless it's a bar name), they can't find the right key for the Yanmar, and they lose their forestay on the first open water passage.
While these are the rites of passage that every cruiser must face, no one has told the story better online than the crew of the Pestilence from the "Anarchy Yacht Clubb" with the documentary known as Hold Fast. You can watch them keeping it 100% real in the full show above, and make no mistake – it's both very entertaining and a required reality check for the whole family thinking of heading to sea for an extended period of time. Hold Fast is also a great reminder to prospective filmmakers out there that high-quality storytelling can overcome low quality footage, but never the other way around.
Blue Anarchy has some well-written and interesting how-to guides for basic cruising essentials as well; hit them up here.

Long known to intrepid tropical cruisers, the nasty twin mosquito-borne diseases Chikiungunya and Dengue Fever have slowly been migrating from the Caribbean and Centròamerica towards the southern USA, especially the breeding ground for everything nasty; Florida. One of the dozens of little obstacles to the future of Key West Race Week, Dengue hit the Keys a couple of years ago, and while some scientists are figuring out clever ways to sabotage the Aegypti mosquitoes that cause the diseases, Mexican doctors have gone a step further with their announcement on Friday that they'd gotten approval for the world's first Dengue vaccine for use in the general population.
This is huge news to the billions of folks who live where Dengue is something of an epidemic, where some 390 million cases hit every year; the 'bone-breaking disease' may be ultra-rare in America but it's the scourge of the tropics, and anyone cruising tropical America or Pacific or Asia will not go long without meeting someone who's been effected. So bravo to the Mexicans and let's hope the makers of Dengvaxia have something that really works!
Check out their release here, and if you're a world traveler with a date in the tropics, forward it to your doctor.

It may look a bit like vaporware from a futuristic basketcase, (and it certainly isn't going to win any 'Prettiest Yacht Awards') but in fact this is nothing of the sort; it's a 53-footer from the desk of ultra-fast BMW/Oracle/Team USA alum Paul Bieker, it's already under construction at Gold Coast Yachts in the Virgin Islands, and it's a 'high-performance cruising cat' for the Seattle-based wners of the current J/125 Hamachi, though the new fish will begin her career racing in the Caribbean.
For more on the boat or to ask the new owners about it, head to the Bieker blog, and then over to the thread; or just read on. Bob Perry's been doing design reviews in magazines for decades, so let's follow his lead; here's a review of the design from one of Sailing Anarchy's most verbose designers, Chris Ostlind.
Personally, I like that Paul and Eric have pulled design cues from Polynesian boats while subtly mixing the forms with modern thinking. The raised Manu forms at the bow tips are very definitely Polynesian in execution and I feel that they serve both functionality, as well as providing a counter point to the same conformed styling we see in so many boats derived from "conventional wisdom" ideology.
There is a distinct, wave piercing capacity in the bow forms, while not giving away that precious interior volume that a cruising cat needs to provide the kinds of creature comforts that are the hallmark of a great cruising cat. The Manu shape at the bow gives a pronounced cutwater shape that parts oncoming seas and that philosophy holds down the length of the bow as it makes use of the beveled edge that gracefully submits to the need for a flat surface for going forward safely. That same shape enhances aero efficiency by allowing the wind and water to slide over the form rather than be forced to make abrupt changes of direction, which guarantee form drag losses. The shapes also enhance the strength of the bow through styling engineered geometry and that can ultimately save laminate weight in the build and potentially help with costs, while reducing weight in the ends of the boat. All kinds of thinking strata involved here.
The riskiest component of the design, to me, is the incorporation of C-boards to give foil assist. At typical cruising speeds and realities, these boards are maybe a nod to current fashionable ideas more than they serve as a real boost to sailing that most cruisers are not going to be doing while underway. That's another argument for another time, though. I get that the shapes of the boards can be incorporated into the hull shapes with a beneficial result on interior volume, so perhaps that is really what the creators are after here and the lifting foil aspect simply came along as an interesting side application. The T-foil rudder are definitely a good idea for a cruising boat as they allow for a more stable ride overall with little of the penalty issues that the forward boards entail.
The deck house is a nod towards the history of the Polynesian voyaging Cat, to be sure and I fid it refreshing in its approach and as a counter point to all the Space Station looking cats we see in huge numbers. I find the uniqueness of this take on a design to be a terrific statement in stepping away from the drudge of "me-too" cat design that tends to make all the boats in the marina look like Accords and Camry's… and it gets the sailors out into the elements a bit where they can enjoy much better forward vision and a sense of really being able to look around and take in what is happening to their boat in the environment. Yes, it's going to take a real special person to own and operate this boat, but I think that's exactly what the design team were shooting for. Something interactive, rather than simply another layer of structure that typically stands in the way of the experience of sailing in the weather, sun and wind. A lot of existing cats of this size are like tooling around in a medical waiting room, where this boat will be putting the owner, sailor directly back into the place where it all started several thousand years ago; definitely an attempt to reconcile our collective willingness to encounter a sterile sailing experience and call it good.
A pleasure to behold and contemplate.

Dig deep, please!
It's the thing that every sailor who sails engineless fears most; dismasting or other major problem with a lee shore, big swell running and breeze-on conditions. Unfortunately, that's exactly the situation that I found myself in yesterday off of Maui's east side while sailing my cruising boat; the Cal 2-27 MONGO.
While en route from the West coast to Australia, MONGO and I had just completed a picture-perfect early season passage from San Diego to Hilo, Hawai'i and were now cruising downwind through the islands looking for surf. After three days in Hilo, MONGO and I charged the Alenuihaha Channel from Hawai'i to Maui; known as the most treacherous in the Hawaiian Island chain. The little boat reveled in the big breeze and big waves of Hawai'i, averaging 7 knots VMG for hours, deep-reefed and all. After a brief 22-hour passage, MONGO sailed into Kahului Harbor and dropped a hook.
A strong Pacific high and stalled upper atmosphere low threatened the islands with reinforced trade winds, heavy rain and a lot of swell. Anchored in Kahului, I sought the relative safety of a mooring ball on the leeward side of the island (in Lahaina) as opposed to anchoring on the windward side with a beach park serving as a lee shore. I would sail to Lahaina in the morning, hoping to hit the Pailolo Channel in between Maui and Moloka'i in the morning before the trades built to their daily max.
Up came the anchor and within minutes, MONGO was clearing Kahului's breakwater and heading north up the coast of Maui under single-reefed main. Taking the scenic route, I stayed relatively close in to shore, watching the waves break on the rocky beach, sending white spray high into the air. Having become an avid surfer in the past two years, I am fascinated by viewing different bits of swell-exposed coastline. Engaging my self-steering wind vane "Francois" (named after VG winner Francois Gabart), I made a cup of coffee and then came back on deck to enjoy my private boat tour of Maui and another tropical morning.
With a coffee in one hand and the tiller in the other, I watched on in horror as the mast broke below the spreaders and immediately came crashing down. Why it occurred, I do not know, but all indicators lead to the starboard lower shroud's toggle failing on my 4-month old standing rigging. The entire dismasting happened in the blink of an eye and was as unexpected as it was brief. Having now put the boat through its paces for 4,000 miles of coastal and offshore cruising, 2 haul-outs and a thorough re-fit that included new standing rigging, new rudder and all of the safety gear amongst many others boat bits, I felt that MONGO was battle tested, well maintained and imminently sea worthy. Why did the mast fail?… I was in disbelief at what had happened.
Close in to a lee shore with pounding surf and a steady 18-20 knot onshore trade wind blowing, I had no time to ponder what had failed or why. It simply had. I looked at the rig, saw that we weren't holed and called "mayday" on VHF 16. I then grabbed the hand held VHF and immediately ran to the bow to begin trying to anchor my engineless, dismasted boat. While anchoring, I continued to confer with the Coast Guard on the radio. I dropped the rig in about 80-90 feet of water, unsuccessfully attempted to anchor in 62 feet of water and finally got the hook down in 50 feet of water. Now to gather the rig back on board.
With 9-11 foot pounding surf rolling under the boat and one wave breaking over the bow, MONGO rode the seas like a bucking bronco making the task of recovering the rig exponentially harder, while also inducing a serious rig-on-hull thrashing. I used a couple of halyards led to winches to begin winching the rig back up next to the boat. With the spar full of water and the main sail impeding my efforts, I struggled to get the rig back on board. An hour had passed since the dismasting. My anchor had held, the Coast Guard was on the scene and the rig was secured to the side of the boat. Had I had more time, perhaps another hour, I believe I could have gotten the rig back on board. But I didn't. The Coast Guard was circling a disabled sailboat that was anchored just outside of big surf. They were ready to get the rescue under way.
With the rig secured to the side of the boat, the Coasties threw over a heaving line with two tow lines on its end. I caught the line and rigged up for tow. The USCG wanted me to cut my anchor rode, but I pleaded for them to help me retrieve my anchor. I was just dismasted; losing my primary ground tackle seemed unnecessary. The Coast Guard indulged me and powered forward so that I could retrieve the anchor and chain. We towed east to get into deeper water and then south towards the harbor. Halfway back to Kahului Harbor, a wave broke into the side of the boat and began ripping the mast away. The bottom section, which was pointed at the sky, swung precariously around the cockpit, missing my head by inches and ripping the front of the stern pulpit off. The top section of the mast began ripping stanchions out of the deck as the bottom section began to threaten not only myself, but my wind vane Francois as well. The port side of the boat was oil-canning and flexing horribly and there were already two holes in the boat by the hull-deck joint. I feared being holed worse, so I grabbed a rigging knife, cut the halyards and jettisoned the entire rig and the main sail. The man had been kicked while he was down.
With no rig over the side, we could tow at 5 knots, the helm was neutral and MONGO felt like a boat again. I cracked a luke warm Coors Light. It was the first thing to go right all morning. Back into Kahului Harbor, we towed up to the commercial wharf next to the harbor's lone Pilot Boat and tied up. I was boarded by the Coasties, cleared and then we moved the boat to its own side-tie. My boat had been dismasted, but all's well that ends well and we were back in port safely with minimal injury to myself, and despite MONGO getting pretty trashed, she's salvageable. This hectic morning was finally starting to normalize. I began cleaning up the boat in an effort to restore order. An hour and a half later, an 8.2 earthquake hit Chile. Tsunami alerts were issued and the port began buzzing with activity. I was informed that the harbor closed at 6 pm and that if the tsunami posed a real threat, the area would be evacuated. The man was getting kicked again while he was down!
Side-tied to the leeward side of the wharf, I inflated my kayak (my dinghy) and rowed two anchors, chain and rode out to leeward about 40 feet. I then tied two old halyards to massive tires that acted as fenders on the wharf. I eased off on the halyards and took up slack on the anchor rode. MONGO was now secured at four corners some twelve feet to leeward of the wharf and 20 feet to windward of two anchors. Theoretically, she could rise up and down ten feet if need be. Whether or not she would push her keel through the hull remained uncertain. "Be brave, MONGO", I whispered to the boat as I left. I took one last look and then pushed off with my skate board headed for the nearest bus stop.
I grabbed a bus and went to Lahaina; in part to get away from the boat, in part to head for the hills in light of a potential tsunami and in part to begin sorting out the logistics of what will come next. The tsunami never materialized in Hawai'i, much to my relief. A million thoughts ran through my mind as I tried to evaluate the situation and come up with a plan to move forward. I thought of the one thing that I didn't have on board that I needed; a hacksaw. I realized I didn't have one on board halfway between Cali and Hawai'i and added it to my list of things to buy in Honolulu. Not having this saw nearly caused me to lose the boat as the mast was pinned to the port side at a precarious angle and threatened to be holed more severely than she was, as I couldn't remove the port lower shroud. I eventually managed to break the turnbuckle, freeing the rig.
I thought of the irony of sailing 4,000 miles (originating in Tacoma, WA) on my boat that I purchased for $4,000 only to lose the rig in 18 knots of breeze with only a reefed main up, less than a mile from land. I also thought of the irony that my friend Ruben and I left Kahului in 2012 and rescued the abandoned Bela Bartok and sailed her to Honolulu, only to be rescued myself two years later and towed into the very same harbor we had left from; Kahului Harbor, Maui. I thought of the fact that I had lost the rig on April Fool's Day. Murphy was clearly a sailor although his sense of humor fell on deaf ears this time.
After much thought and reflection, I realize that MONGO and I were dealt a serious blow and my journey to Australia has run into its first major roadblock. Rather than throwing in the towel and abandoning the voyage, my resolve has been solidified. I will continue to sail my boat to more land falls, both near and far.
First things first, I will source an outboard motor bracket and bolt on a borrowed 4-horse outboard from the Alameda-based Valiant 32 Horizon. I then plan to head to Home Depot to purchase wood, screws and glue to build a temporary box-section mast and then set sail for Honolulu next week. Once in Honolulu, I will re-build. I will re-rig and continue on my journey, stronger than before. Hopefully you'll follow along, and of course if you want to send any mail, I'd love to hear from you [email protected]
I also want to extend my sincerest gratitude to the US Coast Guard out of Ma'alea Bay, Maui, the Kahului harbor masters, Zach Streitz of s/v Horizon, my friend Leah whose couch I crashed on last night, and everyone else that has sent me messages of support. Let the next phase of this journey begin.
Aloha and mahalo,
Ronnie Simpson, s/v MONGO

In its own way football is as frustrating as golf, it just doesn't get the credit. Wearside staged its own Open on Saturday and everyone struggled with the gusts sweeping in from the North Sea. At its end, there were expressions of annoyance and relief that told of a rough afternoon. At least no one lost.
Sunderland's manager of 14 weeks, Ricky Sbragia, was foremost in vocalising this irritation, though during the game his opposite number, Harry Redknapp, could be seen swearing on the touchline at a Gordon Ramsay rate. Management does this to grown men, but by the time they make it to the microphone usually a sense of restraint grips them. Not on Saturday. Sbragia named names. Chief culprits were his strikers Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cissé, who would surely both be on the bench next time around, if Sunderland had the squad for it.
After Sunderland had taken a third-minute lead through Kieran Richardson the home midfield caressed the ball around in a manner that suggested it could be a big day for the club. But when the ball was shuttled forward to Jones and Cissé, back it came. Relentlessly.
"God. Football, eh?" began Sbragia. "We told them [Jones and Cissé] at half-time and at the beginning of the game. We spoke about the importance of retaining the ball. The first four balls that went up, we lost possession. Three went to Djib and he gave it away. He's paid to retain the ball. That's what he's paid to do and he hasn't done it."
"Djib" was replaced on 74 minutes; Jones, the subject of a £16m bid from Tottenham in January, played like he thought that was way too much.
Then there was Spurs' equaliser. It came in the 89th minute, from a Sunderland corner. Sbragia was yelling that it be taken short, that time be wasted. The ball was hit into the box, cleared and five seconds later was stroked into the other net by Robbie Keane. "To concede from a corner-kick is absolutely abysmal," Sbragia said. "How long do we tell them? Christ, I might have to send a note out to them. They'll have to write it down on their hands – 'if we get a corner in the last minute, play it short'."
Home ire was stoked by Ledley King's clear pull on Jones at the corner, but then part of Redknapp's infuriating 89 minutes was a penalty box handball by Sunderland's Phil Bardsley.
Then there were the moments when Redknapp clearly thought that his missus would have done better than Aaron Lennon or Darren Bent.
But Keane is back. For £20m Liverpool gave him 19 appearances, an exercise in frustration. "I can't score goals if I am not on the pitch," he said after his second in four days.
"This is where he's at home, where his heart is," Redknapp added. "You have to feel like you're appreciated in life and he knows how much I wanted to bring him here. The fans have welcomed him back and he wants to repay that. A bit of love, that's what it's about."
Sbragia said: "I need a beer, a couple of beers, flipping hell."

You can say what you like about Lord Falconer, the Lord Chancellor, and we frequently do. It was not until last autumn, for instance, on the opposite side of the globe, that he finally condemned Guantanamo as a "shocking affront to the principles of democracy". What took him, we asked, so long. Stamina, however, is one quality the noble lord has in spades. Yesterday, after a lengthy interview on the BBC Today programme, he went on at once to BBC Breakfast, and from there to Radio Five Live - and all in defence of the Government's indefensible record on prisons and John Reid's little "reminder" to judges.
Margaret Thatcher once said that every Prime Minister "needs a Willie" (a tribute to her deputy prime minister, William Whitelaw). Perhaps that should be updated to "every Home Secretary needs a Charlie". Without his broadcasting marathon, Mr Reid's position would look even more shaky than it does.Reuse content

African Economies and the Politics of Permanent Crisis, 1979-1999 by Nicolas Van de Walle
Book DescriptionThis 2001 book explains why African countries have remained mired in a disastrous economic crisis since the late 1970s. It shows that dynamics internal to African state structures largely explain this failure to overcome economic difficulties rather than external pressures on these same structures as is often argued. Far from being prevented from undertaking reforms by societal interest and pressure groups, clientelism within the state elite, ideological factors and low state capacity have resulted in some limited reform, but much prevarication and manipulation of the reform process, by governments which do not really believe that reform will be effective, which often oppose reforms because they would undercut the patronage and rent-seeking practices which undergird political authority, and which lack the administrative and technical capacity to implement much reform. Over time, state decay has increased.
