When I was a young girl in the early 50's my family would often take rides through Cooperstown and the Cherry Valley area.
I was born in Utica and at that time these areas seemed so far away. Little did I know that someday I would be working in Cooperstown.
In 2004 I moved to Richfield Springs after marrying David Pooler. A friend of mine, Sue Winne, suggested that I go to The Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home for a job. I had always been in the office end of employment and knew nothing of Personal Care. When I went to fill out my application, I was immediately interviewed by Pat Donnelly and my future boss Laura Black. I was hired before I left the building. I started work the Saturday after going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My husband David, my daughter Stephania, Christ my son-inlaw and I attended the parade and all had a wonderful time.
David had never been to New York City before.
November 27, 2004 was the beginning of my life as a Personal Care Aide.
First let me tell you this is the most wonderful and gratifying position I have had in my entire working career.
Monday's through Sunday's there is always an activity to be enjoyed by all. Whether it be bird watching with Nancy Rackmyer, fun n' fit exercises, the weekly movie, Bible Study, Communion of various faiths, shopping downtown, manicures, pedicures, hairdresser, jewelry making that I host, rides with various staff members or gardening with Carol Affourtit, who incidentally harvested our first veggies from the resident garden which were used in a salad. What a wonderful feeling to eat your own veggies.
A picnic was on July 2 in celebration of the 4th of July. Cindy Moore offered her porch as a viewing area for Patsy DeBaun, Bobbie Mook, Wanda Noyes and Vivian Allison to view the parade on the 5th. Thank you Cindy.
After the parade some of the residents shucked corn for their dinner. Laurie Blatt has implemented a Surprise Activity for Wednesdays, which has been a great success and gets everyone over Hump Day. On July 7th Peg Hage's son Gordie arrived with the Cooperstown Trolley for a ride up the lake.
A good time was had by Art and Bunnie Laidlaw, Maureen Micek, Bobbie Mook, Ralph Veenema, Jeanette Hansen, Sue Stevens, Doris Blomquist, Wanda Noyes, Patsy DeBaun, our newest addition to CWTH, Dudley, our faithful companion, Vivian Allison and Laurie Blatt.
Mary Butler and I hosted a Treasure Trove on Sunday July the 11th, and what a treasure it was. Alberta Bowes brought jewelry and various items from all over the world that she acquired during her travels as a military nurse.
Janet Saporito brought shoe buttons from her great grandmother's shoes. Can you imagine buttoning your shoes? Mary Butler shared her wedding photo. I shared a civil War Cameo that was a gift from my maternal grandmother. Bunny Laidlaw presented a sterling silver comb and a huge frog pendant.
Jeanette Hansen shared her Battleaxe Cross given to her by her husband after a trip to England. If you run into Jeanette ask her to tell you the story of her cross. She is hardly without it.
I would like to extend congratulations to Dan and Kristin Butler and their entire family for the new addition to the family, a beautiful baby boy. This new addition is resident Ellen Hankin's great grandchild, and Mary Butler's grandchild.
I have now come to the end, but before I go I would like to give tribute to Bert Kull- Chapin, a former resident of the Home. A Memorial Service was held for Bert on July 10.
Bert was a wonderful, beautiful and endearing woman who is greatly missed by all who knew and cared for her. Your eyes will shine and sparkle forever. Finally two quotes I would like to share with you:
``Unless life is lived for others it is not worthwhile'' - Mother Teresa
``Do not confuse the pleasure of pleasing with the happiness of loving'' - Coco Chanel

The week that was ...
For a number of years now, we have not been in Cooperstown for the spring season. And we must admit that we had quite forgotten what it is like. But since we decided that travel was not on the docket for this year, we have become reacquainted with the Cooperstown spring. And we must say we rather enjoyed it with the possible exception of occasional uncalled for snow and seemingly frigid temperatures.

'Who's on Worst?' reveals the ugly in baseball

One of the most troubling aspects of our history is race relations. It takes a long time to achieve true equality in a society when the heritage of one ethnic group is slavery and Jim Crow laws.

Man sentenced
Last Tuesday a Lawrenceville man was sentenced for the March 2007 killing of an 18-year-old outside of the Cotton Club on Webster Avenue in the Hill District.
Common Pleas Judge Lester G. Nauhaus sentenced Kevin D. Coaston, 32, to eight-and-a-half to 20 years in prison for killing Jerrell Everett. Coaston was found guilty, in July at a non-jury trial, of third-degree homicide. During his trial witnesses testified to seeing him shoot Everett and running away with the gun.
After the Everett's family made statements, the judge handed down his sentence. Coaston will also serve five years on probation after his prison sentence is completed.

Found February 28, 2012 on
College Sports University:
Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill will be sitting out the NFL combine due to a fractured foot he suffered while working out in January. The injury forced him to miss the Senior Bowl and required a screw to be inserted into his foot, although he should be 100% for his pro-day as A&M holds their pro-day on March 7th.
The 2011 season was Tannehill's first full season as a starting quarterback. Previously a wide receiver he threw for 3,744 yards with 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
The best gifts are always the ones you want for yourself. So this season, to combat the usual deluge of gift-buying guides full of things you don't need, we thought we would ask you. What we'd like you to share with us - and the world - are those interesting, unique and highly desirable things you really want.
Just tell us, @rapharacing via Twitter or Instagram (or both) that you want #oneoftheseplease.
Over the course of the next few weeks use the #oneoftheseplease hashtag to show us which desired gifts you are hoping for this season. Until the 21st of December we'll choose our favourite #oneoftheseplease each week, with prizes to be won. A very special Grand Prize will also be given to another person at the end of the competition (to be announced), so make sure you're entered to be in with a chance.
In order to enter our competition, make sure you mention @rapharacing in your Tweet or Instagram, as well as the #oneoftheseplease tag. If you have a link/URL — that's even better.
Here are a couple of examples:
Rocket Espresso from @rapharacing #oneoftheseplease instagr.am/p/SOUI6uMq7N/
— slate olson (@slateolson) November 19, 2012
i don't smoke (much) but this ash tray is a beauty. @rapharacing I'd like #oneoftheseplease shop.the189.com/collections/Fr…
— joe hall (@joeywhall) November 20, 2012
A @rapharacing fireflies tour cap from 2011. I'd like #oneoftheseplease @ Rapha Racing Imperial Works instagr.am/p/SOGtRIzXXK/
— Leo Tong (@leotong) November 19, 2012
Here's our first array of highly desirable goods:
Rapha - Leather Town Gloves
While the Grand Tour Gloves are crucial for summer, now (at least in the Pacific Northwest) the time and temperatures call for a little more protection. Buy the smallest size you can as they have a bit of stretch, but they look and feel as great on a short jaunt through the city as they do on a long chilly road ride.
Tanner Goods – Wilderness Rucksack
Simply put, the beauty of great leather is the patina of age that is slowly drawn out over time. It's texture, feel, durability and smell are just a few of the reasons why Portland based manufacturers Tanner Leather Goods make everything from the material. Including their all leather rucksack.
Rapha - Grand Tour Shoes
New to the lineup this year the Grand Tour Shoe (available in white or black) are the perfect complement to any of our clothing. They will be the tuxedo on any ride and work well coupled with any jersey or jacket we offer. They are leather after all, so remember to treat them as such. And when in doubt as to whether they can handle the elements (trust me, they can) cover them with either the Oversocks or Overshoes.
Wood & Faulk - Camp Stool
Now you can set up your pre-race embrocation station right next to the back of your car. No more searching for old Belgian ladies to share a kitchen with.
Additionally: If you're looking for something a bit over the top, check out the limited edition Poler Camp Stool which can only be bought through the @Polerstuff instagram feed.
Patebury - Kangaroo Leather Straps
Who does not want their double toe straps to look good as they pedal their bicycle around town? With this handsome pair of adjustable toe straps, the answer is always no one. Also, take a look at both the technical and Instructional sections of their site for some great looking diagrams and instruction.
Notable Mention: Ira Ryan Leather Fender Ends
Ira has not made these in a while, but they were awesome when he did. They even had the Ira Ryan swallow logo stamped into them. Not only does the fender end keep your toes extra dry, but it makes a great gift for the other riders in your group because at some point it will come back to thank you. The only problem is where to find them.
Now, show us what you are hoping for this holiday season by tagging your Tweets and Instagram photos with #oneoftheseplease and mentioning @rapharacing in your post. At the end of the week we will pick one lucky winner who will receive one of these please!
And remember: Rapha also offers the more traditional way to tell the people in your life what you really want – with the wishlist function on the site. Just click "Add to Wish List" next to a product that you're hoping for.

We have lots of nice woolen hats that want to be worn during cold times. But here it's about 10° warm and it's raining. Not the perfect woolen hat weather. We want sunshine and cold temperatures! That's much nicer than rain! Looking forward to christmas we of course want cold weather. We'd enjoy snow as well!
All these hats are hand-knit in Bolivia of Alpaca wool. Being curious I just read about the Alpaca animal. In my naivety I always thought Alpaca is a sheep, but it is a camelid domesticated in South America for the wool production. And you know what: Alpaca wool is soooo soft, especially in the deluxe mixture: baby alpaca and silk…hmmm.
(pics from Wikipedia (linked to its source))
I always remember my grandmothers socks and scarfs made from sheep's wool which were really prickly. We (me and my sisters) never wore the scarfs because they were so prickly. Sometimes we had to, because my grandmother invested lots of time in these scarfs and socks and we wanted to do her a favour: she elevated the sheep, gave them food every day, spun the thread herself and then knitted the socks. These were really ecological socks and scarfs!

Serie A to resume with Juventus in firm control |
ROME (AP) -As Serie A gets set to resume this weekend after its holiday break, the biggest question isn't which club will win the Italian league, but rather which squad will be Juventus' top challenger.
The possibilities are not lacking.
While Juve holds an eight-point lead, the six squads that follow are grouped within nine points of each other.
Juventus leads with 44 points and Lazio is second with 36 points, followed by Fiorentina and Inter Milan (35 each), Napoli (34), Roma (32), and AC Milan (27).
The January transfer window could be decisive, with Juve and Milan reportedly contending for Didier Drogba. Mario Balotelli could end up back in Italy, and there is also talk that Wesley Sneijder could move across town to Milan to conclude his contract feud with Inter.

Leave of Absence
New Students
New students are not generally permitted to take leave of absence in their first year unless there are special circumstances. You may postpone your enrolment until semester 2, however if you do not study at all in your first year your place will lapse and your enrolment cancelled. To regain a place you will need to reapply for admission via UAC and compete with other applicants.
Please Note: Deferral is different to Leave of Absence. A Deferral is when you choose to delay the commencement of your degree when you are made an offer. Once you commence your program of study and wish to take some time off this is referred to as a Leave of Absence. |
Continuing Students
All undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students (excluding those enrolled in the Faculty of Health) can take an automatic leave of absence of one year once 10 units of study have been completed. You must adhere to the rules relating to maximum time taken to complete your program.
To take a leave of absence, simply do not enrol. You will be contacted after one year and advised to follow one of the following actions:
1. Enrol for the following Semester/Trimester
2. Apply for a second year of leave
3. Not enrol for the following Semester/Trimester which will result in your discontinuation. To return to your program after this time you will be required to apply for admission via UAC or the International Office.
Faculty of Health students must apply directly to the Faculty for approval for a leave of absence and these are not guaranteed. You can apply for this by emailing email@example.com
Please contact the University on 02 4921 5000 for further information.
International Students
Leave of Absence for International students is only available if there are special circumstances. Please email International Student Support firstname.lastname@example.com for advice.
Applying for Leave of Absence - Ressearch Higher Degree Students
Candidates for Research Higher degrees may request leave of absence after completion of one full-time or two part-time years. Application forms are available from the Research Higher Degree forms web page.
All students considering taking a Leave of Absence should consult the relevant section of the Rules Governing Academic Awards.

Capital Bikeshare is committed to promoting safe and convenient bicycle access. Capital Bikeshare bikes are designed with many built-in safety mechanisms, including:
- Front and rear flashing LED lights,
- Tire reflectors,
- Reflective bands on both sides of the front and rear tire sidewalls,
- Adjustable seat height,
- Step-thru frame for lower center of gravity, and
- Plastic casing around cables to prevent tampering.
Each Capital Bikeshare bike additionally displays one of our ten safety messages, to help remind our members about safe riding skills.
Safety Tips
There's more to safety than having a safe bike. Encouraging our members to ride safely is equally as important. Read more to learn how to become a safer cyclist.
Obey all regulatory signs
and traffic lights.Never ride against traffic
Ride with traffic to avoid potential incidents.Use hand signals
to tell motorists what you intend to do.Ride in a straight line
to the right of traffic and about a car door width away from parked cars.Be alert
Don't ride distracted.Always wear a helmet
Helmets dramatically reduce the risk of head injury in a bicycle crash. You can purchase a helmet at any of these locations.
Safe Bicycling in the Washington Area
The Washington Area Bicyclist Association, District of Columbia Department of Transportation, and BikeArlington created "Safe Bicycling in the Washington Area" to instruct readers on everything bicyclists need to know, including:
- Fitting and equipping your bike;
- Where and how to park your bike;
- How to choose a good helmet;
- Traffic basics;
- Lane positioning, turning, and passing;
- What to wear at night and in inclement weather to be visible, and stay warm and dry;
And a whole lot more! Additional information and smart bicycling tips can be found on the WABA website.
Bicycle Classes
Been a while since you last rode a bike? Never been on a bike before? Just want to improve your safety on a bike? To promote safe and fun riding, Arlington County, the District Department of Transportation, and the Washington Area Bicyclist Association offer free bicycle safety classes to educate you on the skills needed to safely ride a bike in an urban environment.
Our Confident City Cycling classes are offered in both D.C. and Arlington, so you won't have to go far to find a class. To register for our free classes,email with your key fob number or account number.
Capital Bikeshare strongly encourages the use of a helmet while cycling. You have the option to purchase a Capital Bikeshare branded helmet at the time of initial membership purchase, or when changing or renewing an existing membership. Additionally, you may stop in at one of many local and participating stores and show your membership key or daily receipt to receive a 10% discount on a helmet.
Bicycling Laws
To be a safe cyclist, it's important to know and follow the law. Cycling laws vary in the Washington area, so the Washington Area Bicyclist Association put together a comparison of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia bike laws in its "Selected Bicycle Guidelines for the Washington Area".
For a full list of your state's bike laws, visit the District of Columbia Department of Transportation, Maryland Department of Transportation, or the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Bicycle Maps
Bike lanes, trails, and suggested routes are popping up all around the District, Arlington, and Alexandria. Take advantage of how bike-friendly D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria have become by planning your trip before you go with city specific bike maps, listed here. We think you'll be impressed with just how easy it is to go by bike.
Severe Weather Policy
Safety is extremely important to Capital Bikeshare, therefore Capital Bikeshare may temporarily suspend service in times of severe weather. If severe weather threatens user safety, Capital Bikeshare could close temporarily and no bikes could be rented. Bikes already in use at the time of closure should be returned to any Capital Bikeshare station and all user fees still apply.
Closure and re-opening information will be posted to CapitalBikeshare.com, Facebook.com/CapitalBikeshare, and Twitter @bikeshare. Annual, Monthly and Daily Key members will also be informed of closure and re-opening via email.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring user safety and allowing for our streets to be cleared effectively and efficiently.
Pre-Ride Checks
Capital Bikeshare maintains the bikes to ensure they are in good condition and working properly. However, it's always a good idea to check out your bike before starting a ride. Below are a few simple things to check for a safe ride. If the bike isn't working properly, put it back in the dock and notify us by pushing the wrench button on the bike dock.
Push each tire hard against a curb. If you can flatten it, it needs air.Wheel Spin
Lift each wheel up and give it a slow spin (spin the back wheel forward so the pedals don't move). Check that the wheel spins freely and doesn't rub against the brake pads or anything else.Tires
Turn each wheel slowly and look for cuts, bulges, or bubbles.Shifting
Try all of your gears to make sure the chain shifts smoothly between gears.Brakes
Check that both brakes are functional.Loose Parts
Pick up the bike and shake it. You shouldn't hear anything rattling.

List-Managers (February 1996) |
Listproc 6.0 (and probably later versions) do a few things to stop your problem of duplicate messages going to a list: - it keeps the last 500 (I think) Message-IDs sent to each list, and also sent to listproc itself (administrative requests). If a new message comes in with the same Message-ID as a previous message, listproc routes the message to the list owner or system manager. But some systems give the same Message-ID to more than one message (yes, this is wrong) and listproc rejects those too... I deal with that on a user-by-user basis; we have one user with that problem. - it computes a checksum of each message body sent to a list. When a new message comes in, it compares the checksum to the last 500 checksums; if there's a match, the message goes to the list owner. By default, listproc uses the sum(1) utility, which sometimes gives the same checksum for different message bodies. I hacked listproc to use the MD5 algorithm; we haven't had any problems since. You could probably add code like that to your Majordomo. The checksum would probably be enough. I haven't kept up on the lasest Majordomo features; there are probably others like this in Majordomo already. --Jerry, firstname.lastname@example.com Follow-Ups:

A Classic book for Adults and Children singled out on NPR's Weekend Edition
New York Review Books
Recently Scott Simon and Daniel Pinkwater made a giant step into making the genius of Frank Tashlin more recognizable by featuring the newly released The Bear That Wasnt on NPRs Weekend Edition. Laughing between reading aloud about fumbling factory workers, fake fur coats, and a bear declaring his bearness, Scott Simon praised the story with its wonderful pictures and even some political satire to appeal to adults who read it as well. Daniel Pinkwater goes on to name it a classic. And the proof of that is that it is now coming out…from the wonderful and magnificent New York Review Childrens Collection.

Ok folks. This may very well be the most important question I ever ask on PaleoHacks. I've seen many people on here post their cholesterol numbers. From Travis to Todd to Kamal to Melissa and many others. Well, now it's time for Jack Kronk. I need a hack, big time.
I'm sorry to report that I am very unhappy with the results of my VAP test from last week. I was hoping for something more "Paleo-ish". Instead, I am staring straight down the pipe at needing to make some major changes.
I DO NOT want to make this post. I like the notion much better that you all just think everything is going peachy with Jack Kronk and that I am this picture of health. In many ways, that's true. I am more fit than ever, strong as a bull, and happy with many aspects of my health. But these results have me very concerned. One of the toughest things for a person to do is humbly ask for help, especially when it appears that the help is needed as a result of bad decisions. I will say this... if it is bad decisions on my part, it's certainly not intentional. It would be more correct to blame ignorance, hence the importance of my honesty here. I sat here and thought to myself... should I try to make some changes first and improve the numbers and then report back my success to show everyone how brilliant I am? But then I immediately realized that that's what gets people into more trouble. No. I decided instead to bite the bullet... to be completely transparent.
I will post the results and discuss my thoughts below. Ok, enough prepping. On to the numbers:
Oct 2010: Standard Lipid Panel
(after 2 months VLC - less than 50g per day)
July 2011: VAP
(switched to higher carb Dec 2010 - probably around 150-200g per day from starch and fruits)
Since Oct of 2010, I have skyrocketed my Trigs and my HDL is just sitting there like a lazy bum. My LDL went down quite a bit, and my TC went down a little, but what's the deal with my HDL/Trig ratio?
I eat about a dozen eggs per week, and while that isn't breaking any records, it's also not absent from my diet by any means when you consider that I'm getting about 4-5 dozen per month. Also, I cook those eggs in coconut oil, every time. But that's about my only intake of coconut oil. For a couple months, I was eating 2 tablespoons per day, but I stopped doing that back in January.
Also, I have seriously upped my intake of fruit lately. I've been very vocal about this on PaleoHacks too. I love me some bananas and cream. I think I average at least 1 large banana per day now. Sometimes I have 2 because I figured it may help me add muscle from the starch. Is that what's causing my trigs to go up?
And what the heck is up with the pattern B and the small VLDL? This is the thing I am MOST concerned about. The only thing I can think of is my stubborn HDL and rising Trigs. I wish very much that I had gotten the VAP done back in Oct 2010 as well so I can compare since my Trigs were only 85 then.
I know that some folks would go into freak out mode over this. Understandably so. But I not like "OMG Paleo is killing me! I'm going Vegan!". Um, no. I know too much to think like that. I can identify some key areas that I may need to change and I'm not about to toss out everything I've learned just because I don't like my numbers.
So I'm open folks. You all know me. You know I'm serious and I will do whatever I need to.
Some other key elements to my diet that may be important:
Very little gluten. My only indulgences are the occassional pizza and beer. But my intake of both of those has plummeted to way below average over the last 10 months. I probably eat pizza about twice a month and have beer about 1 pint every 2 weeks or so.
Very little PUFA - I avoid all vegetable oils whenever I can. I never cook in veggie oils, of course. I do eat almonds and pecans regularly. This is basically my only intentional source of food that contains some O6 PUFA.
I will often eat a banana sliced up with cream and a coffee with cream for breakfast. I started doing this about 3-4 times per week maybe 4-5 months ago. I really enjoy it, but I will dump this habbit faster than Chuck Norris if I need to.
Raw honey with nut butter is one of my favorite little snacks, although I haven't had raw honey in over a month and a half so I'm not sure if that played a big role here.
So what do you think? Could this be due to a certain genetic predisposition? If so, how do I test for that?
Should I supplement with fish oil to get more omega3?
Drop the bananas completely?
Supplement Niacin like Dr Davis recommends to rasie HDL?
Increase eggs and coconut oil?
Drop the starchy tubers?
Add more starchy tubers?
Eat more salads and veggies?
Personally, I suspect that my increase in fructose consumption has caused my Trigs to go up, which is why I target the bananas. But would eating ONLY whole fruits like berries and bananas and figs do that? The only juice I get is from Kombucha, and it's very little at 5% content.
Doc wants me on meds of course. Here was my response this morning:
Thanks for these documents. I was expecting to see the full range of other measurements on the VAP like VitD levels, CRP, etc. I suppose the trade off is getting a better picture of what kind of cholesterol I have.
To be frank, I am not pleased with these results at all. I am very concerned about the VLDL, low HDL, low protective HDL, high Trigs, and certainly the small pattern B LDL. That sounds like a bad recipe in many respects and I will not accept this.
Without question, I will be making some significant adjustments to my dietary choices now that I know how my body is processing what I am eating. The adjustments begin today. Right now.
At this time, I am not interested in cholesterol meds. I understand the implications, and the importance. I would like to retest for the VAP in about 3 months to monitor this more closely for a time so I can get a clear picture of what's really going on.
I am very serious about correcting this, and I will do whatever is necessary to ensure that I have good cardiovascular health.
Thanks for your help everyone!
EDIT: Some people are asking what I think about cholesterol and the lipid hypothesis.
I'd like to put my viewpoint out there so everyone knows where I stand on this.
I believe the diet-heart hypothesis is faulty, and I believe the cholesterol lipid hypothesis is VERY faulty.
Specifically regarding lipid numbers, I should have noted in my question that I come at this from a very non-conventional perspective and I have a fairly advanced understanding of what this all means. I say 'fairly' because I won't even begin to pretend to understand it from a bio-mechanical perspective like, say... Chris Masterjohn does. But I know what to look for beyond just TC and LDL, which for some reasons, are still the typical things that docs freak out about.
I believe total cholesterol number is almost worthless. TC should not be calculated the way it is by conventional standards. It makes no sense. If you ask me what I think 'healthy' cholesterol numbers are, I would say they should have the following points:
High HDL: 60+ (and closer to 80+ is even better)
Low Trigs: <100, (and <80 is even better)
Low VLDL: fuzzy, but should probably be less than 20
LDL should be large, buoyant pattern A dominance over small, dense pattern B
VitD should be at least 35 ng/mL
Low C-Reactive Protein levels
Even then all we can do with this information is speculate, since these are only markers for good cardiovascular health. I don't care much about the total LDL number because I think the calculation of it is faulty. I also think the measured LDL number is misunderstood still and that even an LDL of 200+ may not be a bad thing if all other areas listed above are present.
So why I am concerned? Because I miserably failed the top 4 important points and didn't get the last 2 so those are still unknown.
Hopefully that helps clarify where I stand with cholesterol.
----EDIT---- It has been noted that I was told fasting wasn't necessary. Most of the research I am seeing backs this up, yet everybody on here agreed that I should have fasted. Look at this page for the Atherotech VAP testing (one of many). It says: "Because we are directly measuring LDL-C, fasting is not required."
Is that true for LDL-C (calculated), but not true for triglycerides?
If fasting is still required to get an accurate measure of fasting trigs, than they are making a big mistake telling people they don't need to fast.

Sail-World.com : International superyacht captains to provide blueprint for industry
International superyacht captains to provide blueprint for industry
'NZ Marine - Captains Forum Venue - The New Viaduct Event Center' NZ Marine
Click Here to view large photo
Nobody knows better than an experienced superyacht captain what makes a perfect berth away from home for a superyacht and her crew – which is why the inaugural Superyacht Captains Forum in Auckland, New Zealand will ask the experts, the superyacht captains: what makes the ultimate superyacht facility?
The answers may seem obvious: easy access for services; friendly cafes and social surrounds; sheltered, deep water berths with good security; reliable supply of fresh produce and local delicacies; simple Customs procedures. But how exactly can local infrastructure and regulations ensure that achieving such tasks is a piece of cake?
New Zealand Marine Export Group is hosting the Superyacht Captains Forum, 15-16 September 2011 in the new Viaducts Events Centre at the Auckland International Boat Show. Among the forum's extensive line-up of speakers covering topics such as maritime law, dealing with piracy, and getting the best of international exchange rates, will be time dedicated to creating a blueprint on the ultimate superyacht facility.
The blueprint will be distributed to other marine industries, so that, worldwide, service for superyachts just gets better and better.
Garry Hassall, chairman of the Superyacht Captains Forum committee, says that superyachts have developed hugely in the last 20 years and will continue to evolve. 'They represent a fascinating, sometimes challenging industry, and the forum presents us with a rare opportunity to gain important insights from many superyacht captains at once.'
The forum's social programme includes The Superyacht Report welcome cocktail function, forum dinner at Auckland's The Cloud and a match race in the 11-strong Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron's MRX fleet, prior to watching the New Zealand versus Japan game at the squadron.
Apart from networking and upskilling in their careers, Mr Hassall believes the Superyacht Captains Forum will be ideal preparation for captains planning to bring superyachts to New Zealand this summer as it will cover refit work in New Zealand, cruising New Zealand's coastline, racing the Millennium Cup, 16-18 February 2012 and enjoying the Volvo Ocean Stopover, 8 – 18 March.
Speakers at the Superyacht Captains Forum will be led by Master of Ceremonies Peter Montgomery, the voice of New Zealand Sailing for 35 years through nine America's Cups, eight Olympics and all 10 Whitbread/Volvo Races.
Bob McDavitt , NZ MetServices' weather ambassador, lives and breathes isobars and barometric pressures. With more than 40 years experience as a meteorologist, including Olympics and America's Cup campaigns, Bob is president of the Cruising and Navigation Association of New Zealand.
Matthew Flynn has more than 20 years experience as a litigation lawyer specialising in maritime law and marine insurance law. He is chairman of the New Zealand branch of the Maritime Law Association of Australia and New Zealand, and a supporting member of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association.
Max Cummings is captain of the 90-metre, three-masted schooner Athena. Previous positions have included a transit of the North-West Passage, a trip to Antarctica and a circumnavigation on Sir Douglas Myers Senses.
Rudolphe Holler is a dive instructor and guide onboard private luxury yachts, who films dive trips at destinations around the world, including Tahiti.

Current Army Directives
Current Army Directives for Conference Attendance
The latest guidance from the Secretary of the Army's office, dated 17 Oct, suspends military/government attendance at all Non-Federal Entity (NFE) events, unless a waiver is submitted. This does not include those local personnel that can attend at zero cost to the government.

What Really Happened: New Orleans SX
Barcia wraps up Lites, while Villopoto cruises to ninth win
What Really Happened: New Orleans Supercross
Words and Photos by Shan Moore
The New Orleans round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross might have been a sleeper had it not been the final round of the East Regional Lites series, which added a bit of drama with Justin Barcia needing a fourth place finish to wrap up his second-straight title. After his meltdown in Houston two weeks before, all eyes were on the GEICO Powersports Honda to see if he could handle the pressure in The Big Easy.
In the Supercross class, all the major players except for Ryan Villopoto were on the sidelines with injuries, and for sure, the fact that Kevin Windham was not riding hurt the attendance as only 33,392 attended the race. That was the official count, although it looked as though that might have been a stretch. Villopoto broke into the lead at the start of the 450 main, and after that, no one had a chance at catching the newly crowned Monster Energy Kawasaki rider. What made the race interesting, however, was Josh Grant, who worked his way into second place after getting off to a great jump off the gate. The Jeff Ward Racing Kawasaki rider held his ground for all 20 laps and came away with his best finish since 2009. MotoConcepts Suzuki's Mike Alessi, on the other hand, was in position to grab a third place finish, but he threw it away when Justin Brayton started putting on the pressure, leaving the Muscle Milk Honda rider a clear path to the podium.
In the Lites class, Barcia came in gunning for a win but was willing to settle for a fourth, and that's exactly what he got – a fourth place finish, which was just enough to claim the Lites title. Meanwhile his the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammate Darryn Durham grabbed his first career victory with an inspired ride.
Of course, the New Orleans round is a great race for an out-of-towner to attend, since the French Quarters are within walking distance of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and this year the race fell on the same weekend as the annual French Quarter Festival. Can you say, "Abita Jockamo and crawfish pie?"
There's little doubt that Ryan Villopoto is in a league of his own right now, and especially now that half the class in on crutches, Villopoto can almost put it on cruise at most of the races. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider readily admits that the focus is now on the upcoming outdoor series and his main concern in New Orleans was coming away from the race injury-free and healthy. "It's hard, because I'm here to get wins for my sponsors, but I don't want to take any big chances and go down," said Villopoto. "The plan was, if I get a good start then I would go for it." Villopoto grabbed the holeshot at the start of the final and after that all he had to do was dodge lappers and avoid the sharp-edged holes that developed in the track late in the race.
Josh Grant
Josh Grant has been a forgotten man as of late; however, a runner-up finish in New Orleans definitely put the Jeff Ward Racing Kawasaki rider back on the radar. Grant's problem has been bad results in his heat races, which puts him on the outside of the gate in the main. In New Orleans, Grant finished fifth in his heat, which secured him a spot near the center of the gate. Quick reflexes off the line left Grant in a good position on the opening lap of the main, allowing him to move quickly into second, a position he would hold until the end. After the race, no one was more pumped than Grant. "You have no idea what this means for me," said Grant. "It's what I need to get my season back on track. I just want to take this momentum into outdoors. I know a lot of guys are sitting on the sidelines, but at the same time it builds my confidence to where it needs to be."
Justin Brayton
This year the key to getting on the podium has been all about getting a good start, and Justin Brayton struggled with his starts in New Orleans. After getting a bad start in his heat race, Brayton came from way back to finish third, nearly catching Mike Alessi on the final lap. In the final, the Muscle Milk Honda rider again got a bad jump off the line and was forced to come from behind once more. "I kind of just struggled a little with the track, but the bike was great. I was just a little late on the gate, so we will go back and work hard and get ready for Seattle," said Brayton, who came from seventh on the opening lap to third at the finish, taking advantage of a Mike Alessi crash at the midway point of the race to do so. Brayton's finish moved him ahead of Ryan Dungey for third in the series standings.
Brett Metcalfe
Brett Metcalfe matched his best finish of the year with a fourth, and the Yoshimura Suzuki rider was stoked with the finish. "I stayed mistake free and nailed down a fourth, and that was a good little start to this last four-round swing and I'm happy about that," said Metty. "I got a good start and was up around the top four. The first turn I was like a ping-pong ball; I didn't have the right position on the track and I was forced to the outside. Guys were coming on the inside and I got slammed a couple of times. But I ended up getting a good rhythm and the race started getting good for me around the halfway point."
Davi Millsaps
Davi Millsaps went down twice in New Orleans, once in his heat and once at the start of the main. After transferring to the main with a win in the LCQ, the JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha rider got taken out in the first turn in the final, and after finishing the first lap in 15th; he worked his way into sixth by the finish. "My holeshot device came undone on the gate, and then a bunch of guys started to go down in the first turn," said Millsaps. "I tried to miss it, but the guy next to me slammed him his brakes too and when I tried to turn in he was right there, so I went down. It's a bummer night, but I did what I had to do to salvage points."
The East Lites title chase came down to the series finale, with Justin Barcia coming into New Orleans needing only to finish fourth to claim his second-consecutive title. Barcia looked unbeatable en route to a heat race win, however, Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen, who posted the fastest qualifying time in practice, looked equally fast while winning the other heat. The Barcia-Roczen showdown never materialized; however, as Roczen got off the line several spots behind Barcia and then suffered from arm-pump later in the race.
After working his way into second place after the start, Barcia trailed Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Darryn Durham until lap seven, when he slowed with arm-pump. Meanwhile, out front, Durham was having the ride of his life and ended the night with his first Lites class victory.
Malcolm Stewart was a factor early in the race, and he ran as high as second, however, a violent crash put the J-Star JDR KTM rider on the ground hard, and he eventually finished the race in 17th.
Darryn Durham
Darryn Durham was only ninth fastest during qualifying, but he got his big break in the main when he exited the first turn in second behind Honda-mounted Alex Martin. Durham took the lead on lap two and pinned it to the finish. "This is awesome, it hasn't really sunk in yet, but I just won," said Durham. "I got a good start and I passed Alex Martin somewhere on the second lap and just got out front and rode pretty comfortable all race. I knew they were close there at the end, but I just kept my head down and brought it on home. The track was tough tonight; I actually didn't have a good day in practice and in the heat, but I was able to get the start and turn it all around. I tightened up a little at the end, and I landed on the tuf blocks at one point and almost crashed, but I just tried to hit all my lines and it worked out."
Justin Barcia
Justin Barcia admitted to being nervous before the final, and he got cautious late in the race, allowing Blake Baggett and Justin Bogle to finish ahead of him. The bottom line is, Barcia did exactly what he needed to do to get the title. "It feels awesome get this thing done," said Barcia. "It was a really tough night; I was really nervous and didn't have a good flow, but luckily I was able to get the championship and that's all that really matters. I had such bad arm-pump and I didn't want to go down, so I was just trying to salvage positions there at the end. Those guys were going wide-open, but it worked out and I'm happy to have the championship."
Ken Roczen
After posting the fastest time in practice and winning his heat race, Ken Roczen was in good shape heading into the final. However, the Red Bull KTM rider didn't get the best start and found himself in sixth at the end of the opening lap. On lap seven, however, Roczen was able to capitalize on a mistake by Justin Barcia to move into third position, but a mistake a short time later result in arm-pump for Roczen and he eventually dropped to fifth by the end of the race. "I'm bummed that I suffered from arm-pump because I was riding really well today and felt very comfortable on the track," said Roczen. "We have one race left and my goal is to win it. I really like the final round in Las Vegas and I am looking forward to a great performance to end the season."

An interesting place, to say the least. It's a clean and nicely decorated restaurant with wooden tables tucked into cozy booths that reminded me of tree houses. The staff behind the counter seemed indifferent or confused and got our order wrong. It's got an unusual vibe - the restroom walls and tables are covered with confusing religious propaganda.

My daughter's favorite spot in Manitou Springs. She was forever going there to get her tea fix. She absolutely loves this place.
Very quaint building. Loved the tiny, cozy decor. We tried coffee and iced mate drinks and loved them both. We didn't sample the food, but it looked very tasty.
I got to check this place out on our recent visit to Manitou Springs, and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to try considering I had never had mate before, so they suggested the chilled "Common Ground" which seems to be a base for most of their mate drinks. They let my date and I both try several drinks,... More

So yes the mate factory seems to be quite the rage in manitou and I understand why. It is really ggreat tasting and allegedly good for you. It was my first time having yerba mate tea and was excellent. The factory itself was supper cute and surrounded by hippies and people playing music outside. Totally colorado!

When I was completing my undergrad the Mate was essential for those late night study sessions. The staff is always friendly, the coffee and tea always hot and the food always delish.

If you thought that the Florida State-to-Big-12 rumors were beginning to die down, think again.
This thing just got a whole new life.
**UPDATE, 12:01 p.m. If you follow me on Twitter (if not, you should @os_coleyharvey), you just saw where we found out FSU athletics director Randy Spetman's thoughts on Derrick Brooks' comments (that you'll read down below). Here's what Spetman said to the reporters at the Amelia Island Ritz-Carlton just as he was leaving the ACC meetings:
"I don't know where Derrick got that."
Full disclosure, I had to leave the meetings late last night to attend to some other things. That quote comes from my Orlando Sentinel colleague Matt Murschel, who is there for the final day of the meetings.
During an appearance on the Tim Brando Radio Show on Wednesday morning, former FSU linebacker and former board of trustees member Derrick Brooks chimed in with his insight on the potential conference switch. Apparently, contrary to common belief, it appears that the Big 12 reached to FSU. Not the other way around, Brooks said.
"From our understanding, it is the Big 12 wanting to talk to us," Brooks said. "Again, that is from my understanding that that appears to be the case."
Brooks ended his time as a trustee last summer. Currently, the former longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneer serves as the president of the Tampa Bay Storm, an arena football league team.
Reiterating the point that talks have apparently been going on for a while, Brooks added "this is nothing new."
All this week, FSU officials have spoken about a public desire to stay in the ACC and to continue to call the conference their home. In the very same breath, however, they have been quick to say that it is at least worth exploring their options and seeing if anything else exists on the horizon beyond the ACC.
For now, that means searching out the Big 12.
"It's no doubt that we're going to listen," Brooks said. "It's no harm in listening to what the pitch is. From our president's standpoint, he was just attempting to put things out there from his perspective. 'These are the pros as I see it, and these are the cons as I see it.'
"Hopefully by the Big 12 courting us, it gives the ACC that much more credibility."
Here's FSU president Eric Barron's email that he sent to fans and boosters Monday, affirming his commitment to the ACC and to being desirous of making a well-thought out and balanced decision.
Here also are Brooks' comments on the radio show, in their entirety.
Near the end of his interview, Brooks added that he didn't want to make it seem as if FSU's potential switch from the ACC to the Big 12 was about one sport (football).
"That's unfair," Brooks said.
The decision the board of trustees, FSU president Eric Barron and athletics director Randy Spetman face is a multi-pronged one, Brooks said.
Brooks' comments came one day after new Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told the USA Today that he believed the conversation of conference realignment would be placed on his conference's upcoming agendas. He said that the such conversations should be on every conference's agenda now.
"Conference realignment will continue to be an issue and one we all have to be vigilant about," Bowlsby said, without mentioning anything about FSU.
Bowlsby officially takes over in his new post June 15.
