Bermuda: "Calm Clear Land"
November 1989 | Volume 40, Issue 7
During the Civil War low-lying steamers, swift enough to evade the Union blockade, left St. George's harbor carrying arms and goods from Britain to the Confederacy and bringing the South's cotton to Britain. The story of Bermuda's role in the conflict is told at the Confederate Museum. Built as a residence in 1700, it later became the Globe Hotel and then served as the headquarters of the chief Confederate agent on the island.
In 1815 Bermuda's capital had been moved to Hamilton, where, by the 1880s, the beginnings of a tourist trade were stirring. Americans then as now formed the majority of the island's visitors, carried from New York to Hamilton on new, faster passenger ships. For Mark Twain, a frequent visitor, this was "the right country for a jaded man to 'loaf' in." Woodrow Wilson often sought peace in Bermuda too. "At last we are away from the crowd down here in this calm clear land," he wrote, "where it seems possible to detach oneself from all kinds of distracting thoughts and think freely again." Even the tormented playwright Eugene O'Neill found the place a solace. He first arrived in 1924 and stayed for several months at a time, toying with the idea of permanently settling there. "The climate is grand...[I]t has proved a profitable winter resort for me," he reported to a friend. "I've gotten more work done than in the corresponding season up north in many years."
As today's visitor strolls through Bermuda's four-hundred-year history, the senses are always engaged, the eye captured by a series of pictures. Houses painted in all the clean, ripe tints of fruit and flower are clustered on hillsides, their stepped roofs blazingly white against a cloud-struck or immaculately blue sky. In the wind the tall, spiky palm bends to the low, round-leafed sea grape. Never more than a mile away on this narrow-waisted island, the sea is nearly always visible, if only as a slice of deep aqua beyond the burst of pink oleander that climbs a stone wall.
The color, especially, seeps into the brain and stays there. On the ferry from the hamlet of Salt Kettle late one afternoon, I admired a particularly natty gentleman wearing a yellow blazer. In the slanting light his jacket took on a shade so purely lemon that it was almost edible. Those adventurers of 1609 came ashore in distress, scrabbled at an island, and made a life there within a year. A few stayed on, some returned, and others arrived in numbers. Something in that nourishing light must have drawn them all.

How we met
It is a really long story that stretches out over a year. The story of how Johan and I met. No, not only how we met, but how we got from first meeting and not really liking eachother to becoming best friends and eventually more than friends. This is the short version:
The first day at design school we met, it was August and Johan was the first person I had an opinion about. We had been told to sit together with two other persons in one corner of the classroom. I saw that Johan was going to sit on the opposite side of me and I thought Oh no, not him!. Don't know what it was that made me feel that way, but certainly he made me feel something immediately although it wasn't anything positive. We started building towers of stuff so we wouldn't have to see eachother. He thought I was annoying, I thought he was a young bitch. Maybe I should add to the story that I wasn't available and not on the look for a new partner. And when it came to Johan, not even a new friend.
Eventually we learned that we both love food. One day he sent me a text message Can you recommend me a restaurant here in Gothenburg? I'm going to have some visitors. I did, he loved the place.
Time passed. I wanted to invite some of my classmates over to watch a movie (a strange thing, I have never liked to watch movies together with a bunch of people) but the only one who came was Johan. For the first time we really started talking with eachother, well not much of a choice when there was just the two of us at my place. OK, first we both fell asleep to the movie to avoid a conversation. All of a sudden I wasn't that annoying to him anymore. All of a sudden he wasn't that much of a young bitch. We slowly started to become friends.
And friends we were. I know exactly when I fell in love with him, it was horrible. He was so amazing. It was the worst feeling ever because I knew there was someone who was going to get hurt, I have never been so confused. I started reading everything backwards, I started thinking backwards and thought how not even the worst movie could be this bad. He bought me my first beer ever on that night when I later on understood that I fell for him; a Guinness. On a certain date I always drink a Guinness to celebrate the day I fell in love with him. He didn't know, he had no idea at all. We ate crêpes outdoors, it was cold and dark and so much of a harsh Swedish winter as you can imagine. We did everything together. Barbequed on a beachvolleyballfield, made sandwich cake, talked the whole nights in front of the fireplace, organized parties, went shopping for a crazy good looking dress, listened to music that made us feel too many things, argued on the phone while I was in Berlin and he in London, slowly getting closer and closer. I kept my feelings a secret for a couple of months, not wanting to admit it to myself, waiting for it to pass. I could feel his scent in a room of forty people and I was for some reason sure he was never going to fall in love with me. I really thought it would pass.
It didn't pass. I moved out of the apartment I shared, to live alone. I had searched for a place for weeks and the only place I got my hands on was strangely enough an apartment very close to where Johan lived. Scariest ever to move in, because I had no idea where Johan and I would go - if we would even stay friends. He doesn't know when he fell in love with me, it was too hard for him to admit those feelings due to someone else being involved. We spent the whole summer together cooking, talking, biking, cutting eachother's hair, swimming, walking, eating, meeting friends. And kissing when no one saw. A Sandra thinking backwards, a Johan not knowing what he wanted - rollercoaster of emotions deluxe. Sometimes he whispered I want to grow old with you in my ear when he thought I was sleeping. That's something we both share - we are both very definite. If we get into a relationship, we do it with a plan. And so it was September and we said What the fuck, let's be together at the pub where we later on made all the big decisions in life so far; moving in together, getting married, moving to Berlin and so on.

I love this story; it made me laugh and left that warm fuzzy feeling.
'He thought I was annoying, I thought he was a young bitch' - brilliant !! :) Your sense of humour. On the other note I am a great believer that you should always marry your best friend if you are planning to grow old with a companion. I have seen so many couples being together for the wrong reasons and it always ends up in tears.
Thank you for sharing such intimate moments with us Sandra. Happy Friday!!Oh I adored this wonderful story about your love.
I read it to my love and he and I always said "Ohh! and Awww!And smiled to each other"
You have a beautiful writing style,I could laugh and cry at the same time.
Thank you for these beautiful story and your photographs on the blog.
I have been following your blog for a long time. <3Sandra, you just shared very generously a precious and private story! Funny as seen from the other side of the screen (meaning my own computer) you two look like the kind of guys who fell in a coup de fudre! well, if such guys do have a special look. Just an idea ;-)
I think when you find a guy with whom you can do so many things, stay together all the time like that and never get tired of it, it must really mean something!- Hugrún25 January, 2013 14:40
Beautiful story! You always lid up my day, whether with your lovely photographs or good stories!
ReplyDelete - Matylda Nowak-Jezierska26 January, 2013 23:45
Such a great story. And so real! Me and my husband, at first hated eachother. Then became close, and onest... thanks to Skype conversations we had. I had no camera, so we wrote on Skype. And after a while he wrote, that he wants to kiss me. Now I'm his wife. Very happy one! Best wishes to You and Johan. Come vist Warsaw - You will be welcomed here.
ReplyDelete i usually do not leave comments after so many already left, but i had to. your story is so beautiful and naive. when love is true and meant to be is exactly like that! i also fell something different when i started talking to my partner and so far 3 years together and we moved in together short after being together. we never regretted and alwaya felt right!
ReplyDelete- Lauren Barry27 January, 2013 06:55
seeing little glimpses of the life you two share together provides a safe haven to visit when I am not so sure how to feel about the world. You give so much in sharing these stories and photographs!
ReplyDelete Sandra, was für eine Geschichte! Ich liebe romantische Liebesgeschichten & alle Liebesgeschichten in meiner Familie sind romantisch & niemals unkompliziert. Ich habe mit meinem mann 10 Monate lang sehr gut zusammengearbeitet & nicht wahrhaben wollen, was mit uns passiert war. Und ja, es war eine endgültige Entscheidung. Wir leben seit fast 36 Jahren zusammen.
Ich wünsche euch das auch!
Astrid"Sometimes he whispered I want to grow old with you in my ear when he thought I was sleeping", this sentence is so beautiful! What a nice story!
ReplyDelete- ce.leb30 January, 2013 08:23
this sounds like a true love story... when i fell in love with my girlfriend, i thought it was just a rush of feelings caused by a really nice soccergame (sweden involved)at the world cup in 2006.
the next morning i was still in love.. and the day after, and after.. it didn't pass.. like u wrote above. and now we're still together. and in love.
i wish u both the very best,
ce.leb Have just found your blog and am really enjoying reading through past posts. This post is particularly beautiful and I can most definitely relate to it. I fell in love with my best friend also and can remember that moment I fell in love with him well and how much it hurt, I was terrified that he wouldn't love me too but it turned out that he was going through the same thing, it was a year until we got together. We've been together almost 6 years now. Looking forward to reading through the rest of your wonderful posts, thanks for sharing x

Carbon Nanotubes - Polymer Nanocomposites
Polymer nanocomposites are a class of material with a great deal of promise for potential applications in various industries ranging from construction to aerospace. The main difference between polymeric nanocomposites and conventional composites is the filler that is being used for reinforcement. In the nanocomposites the reinforcement is on the order of nanometer that leads to a very different final macroscopic property. Due to this unique feature polymeric nanocomposites have been studied exclusively in the last decade using various nanofillers such as minerals, sheets or fibers. This books focuses on the preparation and property analysis of polymer nanocomposites with CNTs (fibers) as nano fillers. The book has been divided into three sections. The first section deals with fabrication and property analysis of new carbon nanotube structures. The second section deals with preparation and characterization of polymer composites with CNTs followed by the various applications of polymers with CNTs in the third section.
Carbon Nanotubes - Synthesis, Characterization, Applications
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most intriguing new materials with extraordinary properties being discovered in the last decade. The unique structure of carbon nanotubes provides nanotubes with extraordinary mechanical and electrical properties. The outstanding properties that these materials possess have opened new interesting researches areas in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although nanotubes are very promising in a wide variety of fields, application of individual nanotubes for large scale production has been limited. The main roadblocks, which hinder its use, are limited understanding of its synthesis and electrical properties which lead to difficulty in structure control, existence of impurities, and poor processability. This book makes an attempt to provide indepth study and analysis of various synthesis methods, processing techniques and characterization of carbon nanotubes that will lead to the increased applications of carbon nanotubes.

"The Strain" has arrived redefining what to expect out of vampires on TV. With Guillermo del Toro as executive producer, and pilot director, the mythical creatures are legitimately scary again.
If you find yourself choosing whether or not to tune back into the series next week, here are a five reasons you'll want to set a DVR recording immediately.
1. Episode 1 was mostly about building the world.
It takes a lot to set up all of the places "The Strain" will go. Now that it's out of the way, the time has come for the main course. The Master has arrived and the outbreak has moved beyond the borders of the airport. The people of New York City, and the world, are in serious trouble.
2. There are more people coming to the party.
While the premiere introduced most of the key players in "The Strain," there are a couple you haven't met yet. The most important is Vasiliy Fet (Kevin Durand). The exterminator is going to be a valuable tool in fighting the outbreak. He's pretty funny, too. That's something desperately needed with people getting infected left and right.
3. You've only scratched the surface on Setrakian.
Setrakian might seem like just a crazy old guy who owns a pawn shop and has a human heart in a jar. He's the key to everything, though. He wasn't kidding when he said he's faced this all before. When it comes to understand what they're up against, and actually defeating it, there's no getting the job done without Setrakian.
4. Wait until you see The Master in all his glory.
The premiere shows The Master in his robed, but even then it was hard to get a true idea of the gargantuan size of the character. That will be revolved soon and you'll hear his voice, which should send chills down your spine.
5. You haven't seen the last of Guillermo del Toro.
Guillermo del Toro directed the pilot and. while he doesn't take the reigns again in Season 1, he says he'd like to return to helm the Season 2 premiere as well.
"The Strain" airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

The rock world received jarring news just before the end of 2010 when band co-founders (and brothers) Josh and Zac Farro announced they were leaving Paramore behind.
Since then, the brothers issued a scathing statement about why they exited the group, and the remaining three members — singer Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis and guitarist Taylor York — sat down for an extra-long interview with reporters to lay out their side of the story and react to the Farros' statements. (You can watch that entire conversation as "Paramore: "Last Word" right now.)
But how did the band get to the point of breaking up? There has always been upheaval with the lineup (no fewer than eight people have been a part of the band since its inception), but the first taste of possible drama came when the group abruptly canceled a European tour at the beginning of 2008, citing "a lot of internal issues."
Rumors flew about what those particular issues were (there was even speculation that Williams was pregnant), but the band remained closely guarded as to why they specifically backed out of the tour.
It appeared as though the time off did them some good, as they managed to finish 2008 strong, touring the United States and playing the 2008 Video Music Awards.
When it finally came time to record a new album, the group addressed many of their internal issues head-on in the songs that make up Brand New Eyes, their most mature release to date. The group admitted that many of the songs on the album directly dealt with the turmoil they had experienced the year prior.
"There's a lot of calling out and pointing the finger, but then it starts to change," Williams said at the time of Brand New Eyes' release. "We've gone through these things, we've worked out most of our issues, and it's much more positive and hopeful."
Their star continued to rise, though Williams began to experience success outside of the realm of Paramore. Just before the release of Brand New Eyes, her first ever solo track, "Teenagers," appeared on the soundtrack to the horror movie "Jennifer's Body." And in early 2010, "Airplanes," a collaboration with Atlanta rapper B.o.B from his album The Adventures of Bobby Ray, became a gigantic hit.
Still, the band kept on trucking, headlining sold-out concerts all around the world and producing eye-popping videos for the singles from Brand New Eyes. As their tour wound down in December, the group was ready to move on to the next project. "We're doing a tour of South America, and then we're taking time off to write a new record," York told reporters. "We're at the end of this record, and it's bittersweet."
A few days later, rumors started to swirl that the Farros would be exiting, which led to both the band's statement and the Farros' reaction. The remaining members of Paramore have committed to continuing on as a unit, and no matter what the future holds, they are already experts in handling upheaval.

User:Toshio/Writing scriptlets
From FedoraProject
To be added to Packaging:ScriptletSnippets after the Syntax Ordering section.
Writing scriptlets
Some tips for writing good scriptlets
Saving state between scriptlets
Sometimes a scriptlet needs to save some state from an earlier running scriptlet in order to use it at a later running scriptlet. This is especially common when trying to optimize the scriptlets. Examples:
- If a
needs to de-register some piece of information when upgrading but the file that has that information is removed when the old package is removed the scriptlets need to save that file during%pre
so that the script in%posttrans
can access it. - If we only want the program in
to do its work once per-transaction, we may need to write out a flag file so that the%posttrans
knows whether to perform an action.
To address these issues scriptlets that run earlier need to write out information that is used in %posttrans
. We recommend using a subdirectory of %{_localstatedir}/lib/rpm-state/
for that. For instance, the eclipse plugin scripts touch a file in %{_localstatedir}/lib/rpm-state/eclipse/
when they're installed. The %posttrans
runs a script that checks if that file exists. If it does, it performs its action and then deletes the file. That way the script only performs its action once per transaction.
Complex scriptlets may be placed in rpm macros. This has two benefits:
- The standard package authors only have to remember the macros, not the complex stuff that it does
- The macros' implementations may change without having to update the package
When writing the macros, the FPC will still want to review the macros (and perhaps include the implementation of the macros in the guideline to show packagers what's happening behind the scenes).
One principle that the FPC follows is that macros must not contain the start of scriptlet tags (for instance, %pre
). This also means that a single macro must not be defined to do things in both %pre
and %post
. Instead, write one macro that performs the actions in %pre
and a separate macro that performs the actions in %post
. This principle makes it so that all spec files can use your macros in the same manner even if they already have a %pre
or %post

Jennifer Lawrence was a bridesmaid at her brother Blaine's wedding recently, which is totally adorable and she looks beautiful, don't get me wrong. But she also looks like she's wearing a wedding dress, which has me a little confused.
The wedding was documented in the 'Real Weddings' section of Martha Stewart's magazine called, appropriately, Weddings. And let me reiterate again, it's so adorable, and everyone looks great and happy and everything. If I could make a chalk drawing like Mary Poppins and jump into it, I'd already be sipping champagne and housing wedding cake with J-Law, believe you me. I just can't imagine I'd have drawn the wedding scene with white bridesmaid dresses, y'know?
I've always heard that you shouldn't upstage the bride at her own wedding, and I feel like being the most famous person on the planet and wearing a dress that's the same color as hers is a great way to do that. Don't you think? And beyond that, it creates a dangerous potential for some sort of romantic comedy-esque mix-up where the wrong lady goes down the aisle and the priest is confused or drunk or something and accidentally marries them! He's near-sighted after all, and as soon as he saw an ivory-clad lady coming at him, he launched right into the vows and they were man and wife before they knew it!
It would be called Brother Wife, and I think it'd honestly clean up at the box office. Especially if J-Law was in the lead role. But it's also the kind of caper that could easily be avoided if you just threw Jenn into a jewel-toned gown so mistakes like these don't even get close to happening. I'll have to assume it didn't, since I haven't gotten any Google Alerts about Jennifer being married to her brother, but I think we can all agree we came dangerously close.

In some of her short pieces that could be classified as fairy tales, Lagerlöf, in keeping with the demands of the fairy tales, avoids designating the exact geographical location of the action. Nor does she limit these stories with regard to time. She begins many of them with the fairy-tale formula, "Once upon a time" or, more often, with "There was," thereby allowing herself the maximum freedom in recreating a time and a place. This is the pattern she follows in stories such as "The Peace of God" and "The Sons of Ingmar," the narratives she incorporated into Jerusalem. They were not connected with either Dalecarlia or any specific time, which enables her to place the greatest emphasis on the moral problems her characters are involved in.
The fairy-tale genre arouses special expectations of excitement, suspense, and fantasy, all of which Lagerlöf's stories...

Postgame notes: Logan makes strong spring debut
No American League reliever made more appearances last season than Boone Logan, and right now Logan's poised to be the Yankees only left-handed reliever. So, if you're looking for a bright side on this day of Derek Jeter's "cranky" ankle, you might as well look to Logan.
"That's what I was expecting," Logan said. "I wanted to go out there and get the job done. I wasn't going to have the first game be an excuse to not get my job done. On top of that, it does feel extra good to go out there and get a couple strikeouts, to do well against lefties."
Logan pitched one scoreless inning. He faced four lefties, gave up a single to Chase Utley, then retired three in a row. He got Ryan Howard to fly out before striking out Domonic Brown and Laynce Nix. One strikeout came on a fastball, the other on a slider. It was Logan's first appearance of the spring, a successful return from elbow inflammation.
"I felt nothing out there, felt strong," Logan said. "I felt very locked in with my pitches. It was fun again."
Asked whether his elbow felt good or simply good enough, Logan answered: "It feels good, period. It really does. I promise. … If I can stay the way I'm feeling right now, I'll be in good shape."
With Clay Rapada shut down because of shoulder bursitis, Logan could be the only left-hander to break camp with the team. Vidal Nuno and Josh Spence are still in camp, but the Yankees seem more likely to replace Rapada with one of their veteran right handers — Cody Eppley, Shawn Kelley, Jim Miller — and use Logan as their only left-hander. Logan said he has enough time to get himself ready for the regular season, and he doesn't expect last year's workload to weigh on him.
"Joe asks for me, I have to go," Logan said.
• Returning to the lineup after Friday's collision with a railing, Ronnier Mustelier nearly had another collision this afternoon. This time, he nearly ran into one of the Hooters girls that scoop up foul balls here in Clearwater. Mustelier went 0-for-2 with a sacrifice bunt in his return to third base. There are 10 games left for him to make an impression and win a spot on the team. "Ten days are enough to show what I can do," he said.
• Adam Warren gave up two runs on seven hits through 3.2 innings. He said he expected a fairly short outing because of all the big league relievers scheduled to pitch. He walked one and said he was hitting his spots much better than last time out when he was knocked around against the Blue Jays.
• Joba Chamberlain came into the game with two outs and runners at the corners in the fourth inning and struck out Michael Young. It was the first time this spring that Chamberlain pitched less than a full inning.
• CC Sabathia is pitching in a minor league game tomorrow while Nuno starts in big league camp (the Yankees don't want Sabathia to face the Red Sox). Sabathia will get five days off, then start again next Tuesday. "I think that will be a heavy workload day," Girardi said. Should be Sabathia's final tuneup before the opener.
• Logan was supposed to pitch a simulated game today, but he asked Larry Rothschild if he could get in a real game instead. Rothschild obviously liked the idea.
• Logan said he will change on thing about his routine: "Probably ice (the elbow) every day," he said. "I never did. I was more of the theory of letting the blood flow through the arm instead of isolating it, but (ice) seems to be helping this spring, so that's probably what I'll stick to this year." It should be noted that there are a handful of pitchers who follow Logan's thinking and prefer not to ice.
• The Yankees had just two hits today. One was Brett Gardner's single (he later scored) and one was Ichiro Suzuki's double (which drove in Gardner). … Melky Mesa's walk gave the Yankees their only other base runner. … David Aardsma pitched a hitless, walkless eighth inning with two strikeouts. … Addison Maruszak made his fourth error of the spring.

Halter inks OSV contract Halter Marine, Inc., the vessel unit of Friede Goldman Halter, Inc., yesterday said that it had signed a contract for the new construction of a 230-ft offshore supply vessel for Kim Susan, Inc.
Halter had announced a letter of intent for the vessel on May 11.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 30 days, and delivery is scheduled to take 12 months.
Harland & Wolff wins Glomar appeal The Court of Appeal in London today ruled that Global Marine pay Harland and Wolff the amounts of $27 million and $3.3 million in relation to the outstanding delivery installment payable on the drillship Glomar Jack Ryan.
The ship was completed by Harland and Wolff in July 2000.The judgement restored an original arbitration award of September 14, 2000. The ruling stated that it was not for the court to substitute its own view for that of experienced arbitrators on such an issue.
Welcoming the award, Harland and Wolff chief executive Brynjulv Mugaas accused Global Marine of seeking to "starve Harland and Wolff of monies due in what, we believe, was a futile effort to bankrupt our company and avoid having to address our claim for more than $133 million of additional work." He added that we "would now hope and expect that Global Marine will honor their responsibilities and pay the outstanding amounts determined by the Court of Appeal."
Mugaas said the proceeds will be used to further repay outstanding bank debts.
Class leaders set for July implementation of stepped up safety measures Implementation of nine of the ten sweeping safety initiatives announced by ABS, DNV and LR on March 15 will take place on July 1, as scheduled, the three leading classification societies have announced.
Among the most important changes is that, effective July 1, the three societies will jointly implement a three-part policy relating to the issuance of ISM Shipboard Safety Management Certificates (SMC).
Flag states have already been advised that, as of July 1, each of the three societies will decline to issue SMC certificates on vessels which they do not also class. From that date, too, each of the three will decline to renew, on expiry, SMC certificates that they previously issued on vessels not in class with that society.
The only exception is that there are many fleets whose ships may be classed with several societies but whose owner ship manager uses a single auditing body for the company's Document of Compliance (DOC) and for the SMCs for every ship in its fleet. In these instances, it has been agreed that, provided the society that issues the DOC and SMCs also classes a minimum of 25 per cent of the vessels, adequate oversight of the management and operation of the entire fleet will be achieved through the class engagement. This balance provides an appropriate sample for the society to assess both the effectiveness of the management system and the quality of the fleet.
In addition to these changes in their internal ISM procedures, the three societies have also agreed to recommend that IMO, flag states and IACS reconsider the current two and a half year period between ISM audits.
The three societies will provide the Secretary General of IMO with a report detailing their experience as ISM auditors since the Code was implemented in July 1998. This will show that a shorter interval between audits is required if the Code is to meet its intended purpose of improving the safety and quality of the shipping industry in a fair and equitable manner.
Flag states in information exchange agreement Vanuatu and the Marshall Islands have signed an agreement to exchange information on vessels when flag transfers are made. A full history of the ship will be given by the deleting registry. The receiving registry undertakes not to accept a ship without receiving the full history. The agreement was welcomed by Don Sheetz, Executive Vice-President of Vanuatu Maritime Services Limited.
"Vanuatu has been working towards an agreement of this kind for several years," said Sheetz. "Exchange of information will discourage owners with an unsatisfactory record from registering vessels with a less than satisfactory history". In fact, Vanuatu has decided to supply all receiving registries with the history it has on any vessel it deletes. "The aim is to prevent 'flag shopping' when an owner moves from flag to flag to avoid regulations or inspections", said Sheetz. "It helps to find the vessels moving on because a registry gets tough". Vanuatu is pressing for industry-wide standards on the exchange of information and sees the agreement with Marshall Islands as a first step towards this. Clay Maitland, managing partner of International Registries, Inc. (IRI), which administers the Marshall Islands registry, said that an agreement had been reached with Vanuatu Maritime Services Limited (VMSL), the administrator of the Vanuatu ship registry, aimed at enforcing high quality safety standards for ships transferring between the Marshall Islands and Vanuatu flags. "This will ensure that no permission for transfer or certificates of deletion will be issued between the two registries, for any vessel deemed by either flag state to have failed to meet applicable international rules and standards", he said. "I believe it is the first agreement of its type". He said that IRI and VMSL are also in discussion concerning cooperation on a number of broader safety-related and technical issues. Maitland said discussions are also taking place with certain other safety conscious registries. "We hope they will join us in coordinating their vessel transfer policies. We expect that we can now work towards a high level of co-op era ti on with other responsible registries, and by that we mean not just open registries". "We hope that other major registries will join us or form similar international agreements, and that perhaps in the not to distant future we will arrive at a global concordat of quality registries. That will clearly identify and isolate the substandard registries, which hopefully will either radically improve if they can, or go out of business".
New product from Leica Marine GPS Leica Marine GPS unveiled what it says is the "first fully integrated GPS/DGPS/AIS shipboard system" at last week's Norshipping marine exhibition in Oslo
The new MX 420 system meets IMO carriage requirements for Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). All new ships over 300 grt must be equipped with an approved AIS after July 1, 2002. Existing ships must be retrofitted with AIS over the next six years. Deadline dates for retrofits depend on the type and size of vessel.
The MX 420 system incorporates a high-accuracy MX 421 GPS/DGPS receiver and an IMO-compliant AIS transponder system, with a combined control and display unit. Optionally, the MX 420 AIS can be interfaced with an already installed GPS or DGPS receiver on board instead of the MX 421.
The MX 421 is a type-approved high-precision GPS/DGPS smart antenna, which was introduced by Leica in late 2000.
It is the first marine GPS product to use a new silicon germanium (SiGe) receiver chip developed jointly by Leica and IBM.
In field trials, the MX 421is said to have consistently achieved positioning accuracies of under three meters RMS (root mean square) in an autonomous, non-differential mode.
When used with the built-in dual-channel DGPS beacon receiver, the MX 421 yields accuracies of under one meter RMS.
The MX 421 DGPS beacon receiver includes an H-field antenna for superior signal reception and interference rejection, and has been designed to meet all existing and projected IMO carriage requirements for GPS and DGPS.
The AIS transponder module in the MX 420 system was designed and developed by SAAB TransponderTech. It meets all specifications for marine AIS shipboard equipment, including IMO Resolution MSC.74(69) Annex 3, ITU-R Recommendation M.1371-1 and IEC Standard 61993-2.The system is designed to be compliant with future standards through software upgrades.
The heart of the MX 420 system is a control and display unit (CDU) that controls all GPS, DGPS and AIS functions. Display and operating procedures are similar to Leica's MX 400 series GPS products. The CDU collects inputs from the ships gyrocompass, speed log and other sensors, organizes the data for transmission through the AIS transponder unit and collects and displays AIS data from all other stations. It also interfaces with the ships ECDIS, ARPA, VDR and other systems. The CDU keypad is used for entering static and voyage-related data for AIS reports, as well as system setup and all GPS/DGPS functions. The system provides extensive interfacing capacity, with eight user ports and additional dedicated ports for connection of the MX 421 smart antenna. A separate, dedicated port can be used for the ship's pilot to plug a laptop computer into the AIS.
SafeNet software for FPSO ABS Nautical Systems LLC has been selected by Monaco-based Single Buoy Moorings (SBM) to provide its ABS SafeNet hull maintenance management software for an FPSO (floating production/offloading storage) vessel, currently under conversion.
The AMAZON FALCON, a former tanker, is undergoing conversion at Keppel Fels shipyard in Singapore. It is the first SBM vessel to utilize this type of operational management software.
The hull maintenance module is one of a suite of integrated fleet operational management programs available from ABS Nautical Systems. It provides a comprehensive system by which an operator can monitor the condition of a vessel's hull structure throughout its working life. It includes a complete technical model of the vessel, its structural data and survey history including details on all repairs and modifications.
With operators and regulators concerned about the future condition of older tankers that are being converted for use as FPSO's, ABS NS hull maintenance provides added security for owners such as SBM.
ABS NS has already modeled the main cargo block of the AMAZON FALCON. This computer modeling has returned immediate dividends as it has enabled more efficient on-site management of the shipyard conversion project.
Once in service, one of the main benefits of the system will be the expediting of the life cycle gauging process. The hull maintenance program provides electronic storage of all gaugings taken throughout the vessel's life. It incorporates a powerful tool that allows that data to be analyzed and provides accurate predictions of the future fatigue life of critical structural components.
Features of the hull maintenance module include: 3-D graphical representation of the hull, detailed 2-D models of structural components, life cycle gauging history, coating condition, anode condition, damage and repair history, a comprehensive electronic library of condition and damage photographs, accurate prediction of future structural deterioration and remaining life of members, and assistance in the development of cost-effective maintenance and repair strategies.

SPANISH WORKERS' STRUGGLE International Brigade Fund To all Labour, Trade Union and Democratic Organisations. 16 King Street, W.C.2. Dear Friends, I beg to appeal to your organisation for a donation to help the British section of the International Brigade now fighting in Spain. The Brigade is composed of anti-fascist fighters from all over Europe — Socialist, Liberal and Communist — and has already rendered sterling service to the Spanish people. There are already 500 men in the British section of the Brigade, numbers of whom have dependents. We are maintaining their dependents from this fund, out of the donations already received. We have sent six ambulances to the Brigade together with X-ray apparatus, surgical instruments, anaesthetics, and 10,000 first aid packages. We have sent a special type of food kitchen costing £500. Two tons of pressed beef costing £120 have been sent. We are now undertaking to supply clothing for the Brigade, the British section of which is growing from day to day. We are sure that your organisation will agree that no more concrete aid could be given to Spain, than by enabling us to extend the aid we are giving to the Brigade from this fund. We have the utmost confidence therefore in asking your organisation to support the "International Brigade Fund." Yours fraternally, Harry Pollitt. Cheques, money and postal orders should be made out to me at the above address.

Celebrating the new life of a child is a special occasion, and friends of the mom-to-be can take part by throwing a shower. One important aspect of the shower is decorations, particularly the centerpiece for the food or gift table. Using a tree with decorations as a centerpiece is an attractive and simple way to tie in the theme and colors of the shower into one piece. There are many different ways to decorate a centerpiece tree for a baby shower.
Items you will need
- Wire ribbon (wide)
- Thin ribbon or silk floss
- Ornaments or pendants
- White lights (optional)
- Small baby-care objects (optional)
Assemble your tree if necessary. Place in selected container if you are using a live tree. Bronze or twig trees work well and don't require the type of care that live ones do.
Gather baby-themed ornaments or pendants and the thin ribbon or silk floss. Silk floss works better for hanging pendants, while ornaments usually come ready to hang. Cut the ribbon/silk floss in varying lengths so that the pendants will hang at different levels, adding depth and fullness to your tree.
Loop the silk floss or thin ribbon through the pendants and tie in a knot or small bow. This step is not necessary if you are only using ornaments. If your tree is sturdy enough and you are using baby-care items -- pacifiers, nail trimmers, thermometer, miniature scissors, small comb or brush -- attach ribbon to those items as well.
Hang ornaments, pendants and other items on the tree. Look to make sure you did not leave empty spaces on the tree. Avoid hanging heavy ornaments on thinner or smaller branches.
Fashion wide wire ribbon into a bow around the base of the tree. Cut off any excess ribbon.
Tips & Warnings
- For a nice touch, place pictures of the parents-to-be or ultrasound pictures in attractive frames around the tree.
- Consider using a string of white lights if your tree is large enough. You can also loop ribbon through the branches to add more color.

Legal concerns prevent H.B. council from taking new Poseidon stance
HUNTINGTON BEACH – The Poseidon Desalination plant came close to losing the official support of the Huntington Beach City Council this week.
Though two previous councils issued construction permits to Poseidon, five of seven council members on Monday expressed support for a proposal by Mayor Connie Boardman that a letter be sent from the council asking the California Coastal Commission to deny Poseidon a key permit.
But the letter was not sent. In the face of threatened legal action from Poseidon's lawyers, otherwise sympathetic Councilman Jim Katapodis proposed that council members send letters individually rather than as a body.
"I have some concerns about Poseidon and as I said before about the process but I think, as a council member, to be responsible to the city and not to open us to litigation, I'm going to move to vote no on the letter. We can send our own letters," Katapodis said.
That motion passed 4-3. Boardman and council members Jill Hardy and Joe Shaw dissented.
Before the vote, the council heard about two and a half hours of public comment about the 50-million-gallon-per-day Poseidon plant, which could get its final review by the Coastal Commission at one of its meetings June 12-14.
Boardman's letter said the Coastal Commission shouldn't permit the portion of the project in its jurisdiction without revisions that bring it in line with the Huntington Beach's coastal code.
"We believe that significant changes to the project may be required to resolve the substantial issues we find were in violation of our Local Coastal Program," the letter read.
It cited a Coastal Commission staff report issued one month after Huntington Beach approved the Poseidon project, after two commissioners and three conservation groups appealed the city's decision in October 2010
The report said the city-issued permit wasn't consistent with commitments to protect marine life and water quality, energy use and public recreation. Poseidon contended the report contained some factual inaccuracies.
Conservationists and residents asked the council to send the letter, while local water agencies, business and labor advocates from around Southern California, Poseidon officials and representatives of state lawmakers lined up against Boardman's letter.
Advocates said the plant would draw millions of dollars in revenue to the county and Huntington Beach while providing a reliable and local source of water. Some see potable water as an increasingly valuable commodity as increasing development in the Western U.S. contends for limited and possibly dwindling use of the Colorado River.
"We're reliable as long as we continue to develop local resources," said Metropolitan Water District of Southern California board member Brett Barbre, referring to projections that the county's water needs will be met for the next 25 years.
"We believe this is an important part of the water supply for Orange County and beyond," Barbre said.
Opponents contended that desalination is a financially and environmentally costly way to create water – the system uses electric power to remove salt from seawater.
They said the briny byproduct would kill fish on the coast between Newland and Brookhurst streets and the potable water produced would be too expensive to sell.
"They say we're dependent on imported water. Well with this kind of energy, we're going to become dependent on imported oil, coal, other energy," Huntington Beach resident Peter Kaltreider said, citing the project's environmental impact report.
The hot-button issue drew 455 e-mails, the City Manager's office reported to the council, with the majority supporting a denial of the CDP.
But council members were limited to what they could say for or against the project – the matter wasn't on the agenda and the city already issued a Coastal Development Permit in 2010. Council members could only restate comments about Poseidon they'd previously made on the record.
Poseidon lawyer Christopher Garrett wrote before the meeting to acting City Attorney Mike Vigliotta saying that sending the letter without a public hearing would violate city code, the Brown Act and the Coastal Act.
Vigliotta told the council he couldn't guarantee the city or the council would be safe from a lawsuit if they were to send the letter or discuss the merits of the Poseidon project itself, rather than the merits of advocating to the Coastal Commission.
Garrett wrote that his warning should be considered "'potential litigation,' which would justify a closed session on the item," though he said at the meeting that phrasing it as such was simply "the magic language" needed to swiftly grab the council's attention.
However, Boardman said she was confident her letter didn't require a public hearing since it had nothing to do with prior city actions.
"We are not overturning and rescinding anything. We are a new council...and I wanted to give this body a chance to express its opinion," she said.
Poseidon has been working its way through the approval process since 2006, when it received city approval to build and operate the facility. Changes to the plant's plans warranted changes in 2010, when an Environmental Impact Report and new building permit application were accepted by Huntington Beach.
Earning the Coastal Commission permit is the last step before Poseidon can begin construction, according to Poseidon Vice-President Scott Maloni, who said he was in San Francisco Tuesday to meet with the Commission for a review of the application necessary before it comes to a hearing.
Maloni said he was confident the permit would gain approval, saying it was nearly identical to one the Commission already granted Poseidon for its Carlsbad plant, expected to be online in 2016.

We Be Clubbin'
Alternative rock and golf are somewhat of an unlikely pairing. Sure, Alice Cooper plays golf, but he's old enough to be considered Marilyn Manson's grandfather. And yeah, mainstream people like Hootie and the Blowfish, Huey Lewis and Celine Dion play, but do they really count as musicians?
Musicians aren't generally known for their athletic prowess, but more and more of them are admitting to picking up the sticks. The appeals of the game for these non-jocks are many: It's the complete opposite of loud, smoke-choked clubs. It's a relatively inexpensive way to kill time in strange cities. Courses are plentiful.
Attractive to the alternative nature of musicians, golf pits people against their own abilities as much as it does their foursome, which is what hooked Jim Ward, guitarist for post-punkers At the Drive-In.
"It's not like, 'I kicked your ass!'" Ward explains. "It's not a macho, meathead, team sport. That's what I fell in love with. Growing up, I was really small, so I couldn't play competition sports because I had no skill. I'd just get squashed or beaten up or whatever. When I started playing golf, I realized that it was just me against the course."

Touring, as so eloquently noted by Bon Jovi and Bob Seger, is long lulls of downtime with an hour of performing once a day, especially for smaller bands that don't have to do hours of interviews and personal appearances. Musicians who golf on tour should be the most envied people on Earth. It's not enough that they get to live the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle -- they get to play a couple rounds a week too? Still, there is some debauchery with golf. Ward slyly relates that the game "took on a new meaning when I turned 21 -- because then you can drink on the course."
Darrin Pfeiffer, drummer for ska/punk band Goldfinger, says being on the road is a perfect time to play. "On show days, there's nothing to do until 6 o'clock -- that's when you do your sound check -- so you just go play a round of golf. Get in a cab, play a quick nine."
"You've got so much free time and you can't always read a book," deadpans Pavement's Scott Kannberg. Pavement's bookish indie rock has a sizable underground following, and Kannberg has played old school courses in Europe on tour. "You've got so much downtime that you're bored, and it's a good way to spend four to five hours. I pretty much got into golf in '95 when we did Lollapalooza because we'd play one show every five days. If we're on a bus tour, it's easy to bring your clubs and get out in the morning, because you always arrive late at night or early in the morning. I get up and go to a course."
In fact, all of these guys agreed that the best part of golf, particularly on tour, is getting into the peace and quiet, enjoying nature and giving their eardrums a rest.
"We do live a very loud lifestyle and when the quiet comes in, the quiet's nice," laughs Mike Einziger, guitarist for rap/metal group Incubus. "It means you kind of have to wake up in the morning, which is difficult to do sometimes. You have time to get out and play -- if you can't play 18, you can certainly play nine. It's really relaxing. It's nice to be able to get out there and breathe in some fresh air instead of being in a hot, smoky club all the time."
Fresh air or not, punk, metal and alternative rockers like these guys aren't known for being courteous, kind and considerate the way Celine and Huey are. Non-mainstream music is supposed to challenge conventions; and golf is, frankly, a little stiff. Dress codes, etiquette, divot replacing, sand trap raking -- it's a far cry from cranked amps, aggressive rhythms and primal lyrics. Nevertheless, most of them find their own way to push the decorum envelope.
"I obviously don't look like a lot of the other people that are playing golf," says Einziger. "I've got these long dreadlocks and people will look at me and say, 'Oh, obviously he's a musician.' A lot of people look at that as something that is good for the sport, that it's expanding its appeal to a lot of different types of people. I think I would probably get a lot different looks if I was being disrespectful and loud and obnoxious, but that's not really in my personality."
"I grew up playing public courses," says Kannberg, who was initially reluctant to talk about his hobby because of its elitist reputation. "But when you do go to the daily fee places, they try to act like it's a country club -- you've got to wear a collared shirt and you can't wear jeans -- it's totally ridiculous. It's so against what the original game is like. You go over to England, Scotland, Ireland and stuff and everybody's carrying their own clubs and wearing jeans and a tank top."
Pfeiffer agrees that acting proper isn't entirely for him. "The [punk rock] attitude, I can relate to it a lot, but at the same time I'm almost 31, I'm married. I can't walk on the course like, 'Fuck you,' and cranking the Dead Kennedys on my boom box," he says, laughing. "I definitely dress a little loud. I'll wear polos, but they'll be bright colors. I obey the proper etiquette; I don't want to piss anybody off."
Cherry Poppin' Daddies singer Steve Perry takes special pride in dressing to annoy. "The guys I golf with really look like shit on the course, so we get looks and sometimes they don't want to let us play. A friend of ours looks like Frank Zappa. Sometimes he'll wear pink running shorts that are too small for him and his nuts will, like, stick out of the bottom."
The barter system still works in getting favors from bands. It used to be groupies traded oral sex and drugs with bouncers to get backstage; now all it takes is a tee time. Ward says that a member of UCLA's golf team offered lessons and slots on prestigious courses in exchange for some tickets. Einziger says that happens a lot for them as well.
"I just met a woman the other night in Sacramento working security at the venue we were playing at," he says. "She told me that she was an instructor at one of the local courses and 'Any time you come back, just find the club and we'll hook you up.' A lot of times the courses will hook us up for free or whatever if we get the people that work there into the rock concert.
"Just get me out on the golf course and yeah, the show's no problem."

The much-hyped about marriage could be a quiet affair covering two cities
Despite her spicy and much risqué role in The Dirty Picture, Vidya Balan is a simple lady when it comes to her personal life. She has maintained that her wedding with Siddharth Roy Kapur would be a simple, albeit power-packed affair held in Mumbai. However, a last-minute addition to the plan is a reception in her hometown of Chennai.
The date is set – December 14. And the celebrations will extend across two cities, with the wedding held in Mumbai and the reception in Chennai, where Vidya originally hails from. Only close friends and family will be partaking in the festivities, as the couple realise their dream of a blissful future together. And just like any other girl about to get hitched, is neck deep in preparations and is just as excited. Even with good friend, designer Sabyasachi personally picking up stuff for Vidya, she is personally making sure everything from her wedding trousseau to the way the ceremony is being organised turns out right.And just before that, Vidya plans to sneak out to California to lecture students at a film school. Considering the heavyweight roles she has played, we are not surprised Vidya is being sought after to talk about acting. Well, what remains to be seen is, will Vidya agree to make time from her hectic twin-city marriage schedule for the talk?
Keep watching this space for more updates on Vidya Balan's big day!
