Luminor Power Reserve
The Panerai Luminor is an iconic timepiece in the watch world. Thanks to its crown-protecting bridge, it's become one of the most distinctive wristwatches worldwide. Special models are incredibly rare and coveted, making them wonderful investments.
If you want to add one of the most popular watches to your collection, then consider purchasing a Panerai Luminor . This 44-mm luxury watch is considered one of the most famous men's watches of the past few decades. Its most distinctive feature is its crown-protecting bridge, which makes the watch waterproof by pressing the crown tightly onto the case.
The American actor Sylvester Stallone greatly contributed to the popularity and prestige of both the brand and individual watch. Stallone purchased a Luminor while shooting Daylight (1996) and wore it in the film. He was so impressed by the timepiece that he created a limited edition version with Panerai: The Luminor Daylight Slytech (5218-207A). Today, the watch is so rare and sought after that it can go for prices up to and over 30,000 euros. This rare collector's piece has a small seconds at nine o'clock, making it a part of the Luminor Marina collection. The standard Luminor only uses two hands to tell the time: an hour and minute hand.
These former military watches were named after the luminous material used, which is based on tritium. Officine Panerai, the company's official name, patented the material in 1949. Prior to that, radium was used because it was incredibly bright at night. The Radiomir was named after its luminous material as well. The first Luminor watches were released in the early 1950s and used as service watches by elite combat divers in the Italian Marines.

Prices for a Panerai Luminor range from 3,400 euros for a Base version and around 17,000 euros for an 18-karat gold Marina.
If you're looking for a model that truly represents the Luminor collection, then you should purchase the timepiece with reference number PAM00112. This Base model, the Panerai 112, has a 44-mm stainless steel case and, of course, features the distinctive crown-protecting bridge. The dial has the brand-typical Arabic numerals at three, six, nine, and 12 o'clock, with long stick indices serving as the other hour markers. The so-called "sandwich dial" on this Luminor Base is made up of two discs resting against each other. The top disc has cut-outs for the hour markers to make the luminous material on the bottom disc visible. The caliber OP X, a modified ETA Unitas 6497-A2, powers the timepiece, and has a 56-hour power reserve. A pre-owned Luminor 112 starts at around 3,500 euros; new, prices start at 4,500 euros.
If the black dial is unappealing, a version with a white dial is also available. The model with reference number (PAM00630) features Arabic numerals as hour markers as well as a Panerai logo on the lower half of the dial. Stick indices are utilized as minute markers, making it easier to read the time. You can purchase this watch new for around 3,500 euros. Versions with reference number PAM00561 also have a white dial, but are powered by the in-house caliber P.5000 with an 8-day power reserve. The inscription "8 DAYS" is located above six o'clock instead of the Panerai logo. The price for a new model starts around 4,300 euros.
The in-house caliber P.5000 is also used in Luminor watches with a brown (PAM00562) or black (PAM00560) sandwich dial. You can purchase the black version for around 4,500 euros and the brown version for 300 euros more.
One distinctive feature of the Panerai Luminor Marina is the small seconds at nine o'clock. Versions with the automatic caliber OP III have an additional date display at three o'clock. The automatic watches have a 44-mm case, which is characteristic for the Luminor, or a smaller, unisex 40-mm case. The 40-mm version (PAM00048) costs 5,000 euros new and 4,000 euros pre-owned. The prices for pre-owned 44-mm versions (PAM00104) start at around 4,200 euros, and new, they also cost 5,000 euros.
If you prefer a manual Luminor Marina, then you should look at the timepiece with reference number PAM00111. This model is powered by the caliber OP XI, which is based on the ETA Unitas 6497-A2. Since this movement features a small seconds with a stop-seconds, it's also chronometer certified. You can purchase a Panerai 111 for 4,000 euros pre-owned and 5,200 euros new.
If you already own many Panerai watches and want to add another gold Luminor to your collection, the PAM00511 is perfect for you. This Luminor Marina is made of 18-karat red gold and has a power reserve lasting eight days thanks to its powerful, in-house P.5000 caliber. This gold watch costs around 15,000 euros.
Unlike most Luminor models, the Submersible timepieces feature a rotatable bezel for measuring your dive time. The watch's name gives you a hint as to its purpose and seeing as it's waterproof to 300 m (30 bar), it's more than ready for a dive trip. Due to the build of its automatic caliber, which is based on the Valjoux 7750, it features a small seconds at nine o'clock and a date display at three o'clock. You can purchase a pre-owned Luminor Submersible for around 4,200 euros and a new one for around 5,700 euros.
If you're traveling often, you probably need to keep an eye on the time in a few different time zones. GMT watches are the ideal tool for that. Aside from local time, they display the time in a second time zone. One such watch is the Luminor GMT Automatic, which displays a second time zone with the help of a fourth hand and a 24-hour scale. The automatic caliber OP VIII with small seconds and a date display powers the PAM00088. Pre-owned models cost around 4,000 euros, while new they cost around 5,700 euros.
If you're a fan of Luminor designs but prefer a retro look, then consider the Luminor 1950 series. The cases of these timepieces are reminiscent of watches from the 1950s. They're easily distinguishable by the presence of the engraving, "REG. T.M.," on the top of the crown protection. The other Luminor collections do not have this feature. The 1950 series also has more defined curves than its flatter siblings.
You can purchase a Luminor Marina 1950 (PAM00312) for as little as 4,500 euros. Prices for new models start at around 5,600 euros. The Panerai 312 is powered by the in-house caliber P.9000, which features a power reserve lasting 72 hours. The automatic movement also has a date display and small seconds.
The Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT is also powered by an in-house movement. This watch (PAM00233) is powered by the caliber P.2002 with a GMT function, 24-hour display, small seconds, date display, and linear power reserve display. Once the movement is fully wound, it runs for 192 hours. You can purchase a pre-owned Panerai 233 for around 8,000 euros and new, it costs 8,500 euros.

Cameron Diaz spoke about Gwyneth Paltrow's "Conscious Uncoupling" statement while interviewing with Extra at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
"I think it's actually a very elevated and conscious and realized statement," Diaz said. "People go separate ways in other aspects of their life, and I think it's really brave of them to phrase it that way."
Paltrow and Coldplay's frontman announced their split Tuesday is a statement posted on the actress' website, Goop.
In their announcement, the couple claimed to have worked hard "to see what might have been possible" between them, but came "to the conclusion that while [they] love each other very much [they] will remain separate."
"Leaving as a couple and deciding to stay together as parents and as friends… I think it's beautiful," Diaz added. "I'm so proud of them."

Solving The Problem of How to Use Our Kodak Videocam While Driving!
Cynthia Larsen posed the question the other day as to how to use her portable camera and record while driving. Here's her solution and based on THIS we'd say it worked pretty well!
But you can't put an engineer on a problem like that and just expect him to not come up with another solution.... so here goes:
We have a Tom Tom GPS we haven't used in a couple of years. We'd also bought a Nav-Mat at Target or Wally World for about $15 or $20 to mount the GPS to rather than the windshield. It has a non-skid bottom and a weighted ring around the edge that enables it to not slide around the dash, and a solid plastic sheet on the inside that the GPS mounting bracket suction cup sticks to.
Combine the GPS mount, the Nav-Mat, and Cynthia's rubber band and you've got a stable base, and even better, thanks to the pivoting GPS bracket, you can angle or tilt the camera as you need to alter your viewing angle (obviously NOT recommended while driving!). The end solution looks like this:
If you have the components or can get them, this should work for any of the Flipcam or Kodak portable style cameras. We trialed it this morning and it worked well...sorry, no sample vids for public consumption yet, but we'll have some before much longer! With the 8 GB video card we installed and set on 720p, we could record about 2 hours and pull out whatever we need from the tour!
Time to go do some driving :)

Craig Mack, "Flava in Ya Ear" rapper, is dead at 47
WALTERBORO, S.C. — Former rapper Craig Mack, best known for the platinum 1994 hit "Flava in Ya Ear" has died in South Carolina at the age of 47. Music aficionados will remember Mack rapping in front of a globe and hanging with the likes of Das EFX, Mic Geronimo, Irv Gotti and Funkmaster Flex from the video for "Flava in Ya Ear."
Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey says the 47-year-old Mack died at his home in Walterboro around 9 p.m. Monday. Harvey said it appeared Mack died of natural causes.
The Long Island, New York, native helped launch Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment with his first album, "Project: Funk da World." It was anchored by "Flava in Ya Ear," which was nominated for a Grammy. The remix also included LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and the then up-and-coming Biggie Smalls. His follow-up single, "Get Down" went gold.
"Craig Mack you were the first artist to release music on Bad Boy and gave us our first hit. You always followed your heart and you had an energy that was out of this world. You believed in me and you believed in Bad Boy," Diddy said on social media on Tuesday. "I will never forget what you did for hip-hop. You inspired me, and I will continue to try to keep inspiring others. We will always love you." #badboy4life"
After Mack left Diddy, he released a second album, "Operation: Get Down" in 1997 but left the music industry and devoted his life to religion.
After news traveled of his death, the rapper was remembered by artists ranging from Questlove to Lin-Miranda Manuel. DJ Scratch said on Instagram that Mack formerly handled his turntable setups and breakdowns.
"I'm so saddened to get a text about Craig Mack," wrote Missy Elliott on Twitter. "I am grateful to have worked with him on this song on the Dangerous Minds soundtrack & he was so kind funny & Talented ... Rest peacefully Craig."

World Vision has been working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities since 1974. During this time we have gained first-hand experience and understanding of the strengths and challenges, including structural barriers, which impact on Indigenous Australian people and their communities.
Disadvantages resulting from dispossession, institutionalisation and separation reach across the sectors of health, education, employment and justice.
For example:
In addition many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live in remote regions of Australia where access to employment and other services is expensive and limited.
Despite these challenges, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have incredible strength, leadership and vision to overcome disadvantage and drive their own development.
Through our strategic partnerships and projects, we are committed to supporting families and communities to access the knowledge, skills and services they need to achieve their goals and effect lasting social change.
Advocating for change is an integral part of World Vision's Indigenous Australian programming. This takes place at the national level through our engagement with the Australian Government on effective development practice, and at a project level where we are invited to contribute our expertise and work in partnership with communities and services in urban, regional and remote locations across Australia.
Our combined efforts address:
You can see a full list of our current projects in Australia here.
Many Australians support our work with Australian Indigenous communities through our Linking Hands program. Our work hasn't changed, but as we are reaching out now to many more Australians, asking them to also walk with us, we think it is easier to explain our work by talking about supporting our "Australia Program" rather than supporting "Linking Hands".
Funding for our work in Australia comes from a few different places:

This question ended up longer than I intended (though most of the bulk is interesting remarks by Hamilton), so I thought it might be good to include my question at the beginning before the admittedly-lengthy background:
Question: Why did Hamilton view the scalar part of a quaternion as representing time? Does the modern viewpoint of quaternions in physics admit an interpretation that involves time but does not require relativity and related thoughts as a prerequisite?
Background: It strikes me as remarkably ahead-of-his-time that Hamilton preferred to think, or perhaps insisted on thinking, of algebra as the study of a time variable. In fact, while I'm certainly no math-historian, by my reading he is actually quite uncomfortable with the relatively newfound spread of abstraction in algebra, particularly in terms of imaginary numbers. He laments on the chasm between this abstraction and the firm footing of science:
Yet a natural regret might be felt, if such were the destiny of Algebra; if a study, which is continually engaging mathematicians more and more, and has almost superseded the Study of Geometrical Science, were found at last to be not, in any strict or proper sense, the Study of a Science at all....
...and later...
The author acknowledges with pleasure that he agrees with M. Cauchy, in considering every (so-called) Imaginary Equation as a symbolic representation of two separate Real Equations: but he differs from that excellent mathematician in his method generally, and especially in not introducing the sign $\sqrt{-1}$ until he has provided for it, by his Theory of Couples, a possible and real meaning, as a symbol of the couple (0, 1).
As a solution to his quandry, Hamilton postulates that the interpretation of algebra as the study of time is the way to base algebra with imaginary numbers on a scientific footing, writing:
It is the genius of Algebra to consider what it reasons on as flowing, as it was the genius of Geometry to consider what it reasoned on as fixed.
In his treatise on the subject: "Theory of Conjugate Functions, or Algebraic Couples; with a Preliminary and Elementary Essay on Algebra as The Science of Pure Time," he develops a tremendous amount of basic algebra (from addition and ordering to indeterminate forms and exponentiation) through this lens. The sticky part is that he does not seem (to me, at least) to resolve the issue at hand; that of providing an intuitive formulation of algebra in which one can relate time and imaginary numbers, at least beyond that of Cauchy's theory of couples referenced above. And yet he himself, however, declares victory on the matter, writing that this "Theory of Couples is published to make manifest that hidden meaning." He is so taken by this point of view that he later interprets quaternions as a "scalar plus vector" as a "time plus space" element of spacetime:
Time is said to have only one dimension, and space to have three dimensions. […] The mathematical quaternion partakes of both these elements; in technical language it may be said to be "time plus space", or "space plus time": and in this sense it has, or at least involves a reference to, four dimensions.
Ever since Einstein and Minkowski (and others), it is quite commonplace to think in terms of spacetime (and indeed the concept apparently dates back to d'Alembert in 1754), but without relativity/Lorenz metrics/etc. at one's disposal, it is striking how dedicated Hamilton was to the point of view of relating time and imaginary quantities.
Question (redux): It is really Hamilton's strikingly-modern interpretation of the scalar part of a quaternion as representing time that is the basis for this question. Why did he do this? Does the modern viewpoint of quaternions in physics admit an interpretation that involves time but does not require relativity and related thoughts as a prerequisite?

Surgeons at AGH now join a select group across the country using robotics to perform sophisticated lung cancer operations through much smaller incisions that not only shorten recovery times and cause less pain, but may also lead to better outcomes.
AGH thoracic surgeons Richard Maley, MD, Lana Schumacher, MD, and Mathew VanDeusen, MD, performed the hospital's first robotic lung cancer surgeries in September, and the group expects to treat a growing number of patients with the advanced procedure.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among both men and women in the United States. Of the nearly 250,000 people diagnosed with the disease each year, approximately 20% have the earliest and most treatable stage – where the cancer is isolated in one section of the lung. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that those diagnosed with Stage I lung cancer and treated promptly have a 10-year survival of close to 90%.
Across the country, the conventional treatment for early stage lung cancer involves removing the diseased section of the lung through a six to ten inch chest incision. The technique – called a thoracotomy lobectomy – can be quite painful post-operatively because it entails cutting through muscle and spreading the ribs to operate on the lung. At more specialized centers, such as AGH, surgeons have also performed video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for some time using more traditional hand-held laparoscopic tools, although the difficulty of this approach has occasionally limited its availability to patients.
Robotic lung surgery is a closed-chest procedure that is performed using the da Vinci Surgical System, a highly advanced technology that allows surgeons to resect lung tissue through just a few small incisions.
Originally developed by NASA for operating remotely on astronauts in space and used by the Department of Defense to operate on soldiers in the battlefield, the da Vinci System is comprised of two primary components, a remote console that accommodates the surgeon and a five armed robot that is positioned at the patient's side.
Sitting comfortably at the console several feet away from the operating room table, the surgeon maneuvers da Vinci's robotic arms and views the surgical field in high magnification and resolution through a three dimensional endoscopic camera. The System seamlessly and precisely translates the surgeon's natural hand, wrist and finger movements from controls at the console to the robotic surgical instruments inside the body.
"Robotic technology takes the potential of less invasive surgery for lung cancer to a whole new level, opening this option up to a much broader segment of our patients. The robotic system dramatically enhances visualization of the operative site and more precisely mimics the complex movements of the hand and wrist, allowing us to delicately access the lung and remove the cancerous section," Dr. Schumacher said.
As a result, patients undergoing the new procedure recover faster, experiencing less pain, blood loss and scarring than those treated by conventional means. Such advantages may also translate into better long-term outcomes, said Dr. VanDeusen.
"Pain following surgery can cause significant complications for patients, including an increased risk of pneumonia if patients find it difficult to cough and clear their lungs of secretions, and the potential delay of important adjuvant cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, that many patients require" he said.
Most any patient diagnosed with Stage I lung cancer is considered a candidate for robotic-assisted lobectomy, but the procedure has particular promise for patients who are compromised by other medical problems and who may not be able to undergo a more invasive operation.
According to George Magovern, MD, Chair of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at both AGH and the West Penn Allegheny Health System, adding lung surgery to AGH's robotic capabilities is yet another example of the hospital's leading expertise in the management of complex medical disorders.
"Some of the most groundbreaking surgical innovations of our time are being advanced with the assistance of robotic technology that can significantly enhance a surgeon's ability to perform complicated, minimally invasive procedures with unprecedented precision and effectiveness. Allegheny General has emerged not only as the region's leading center of expertise in this unique capability, but it now also ranks among the most comprehensive robotic surgery programs in the country," Dr. Magovern said.
For more than a decade, surgeons at AGH and West Penn Allegheny have been at the forefront of using robotics to perform minimally invasive gynecologic procedures and urological surgery, such as for prostate cancer. More recently, doctors at the hospital also became the first in Pittsburgh to perform robotic-assisted donor nephrectomy – or the removal of a kidney from a live donor for transplantation. Currently just a handful of transplant centers nationwide offer this less invasive option to organ donors.
AGH's thoracic surgery team is also using the robotic system to perform less invasive esophageal surgery, resection of other mediastinal (chest cavity) masses and thymus gland removal.
AGH is the only hospital in western Pennsylvania that performs robotic minimally invasive surgery across the five major disciplines of gynecologic, urologic, cardiovascular, thoracic and transplantation surgery.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox lost in the same way they won a night earlier.
Tampa Bay's Sean Rodriguez hit a two-run home run off Red Sox closer Alfredo Aceves in the ninth inning to give the Rays a 4-3 victory on Sunday.
The home run marked Aceves' third blown save of the season and the first in his last 10 appearances.
Manager Bobby Valentine felt that Aceves just didn't come out with his best stuff against the Rays.
"His control has been pinpoint (lately), those pitches were just a little off," Valentine said.
Valentine was visibly upset with the loss, rapidly tapping the press conference room table in frustration after the game. But more than anything he was disappointed for pitcher Clay Buchholz after a great outing from the starter.
"It got disappointing in the ninth," Valentine said. "I thought we'd pull that one out, get him one he deserved. I thought he deserved a win, today."
Buchholz understands that sometimes luck just won't be in Boston's favor.
"Nobody likes losing, but you got to deal with it sometimes," Buchholz said. "They were better for part of the day when I was out there, and they got lucky and hit the ball out (in the ninth).
Will Rhymes went 3 for 3 with three singles and an RBI for the Rays, who lost Saturday night on a pinch-hit, two-run homer by Jarrod Saltalamacchia in the ninth off closer Fernando Rodney.
Buchholz had his best start of the season and Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer for Boston, which was about to move above .500 for the first time this season until Rodriguez hit a drive off Aceves (0-2) over the Green Monster with one out after Ben Zobrist walked.
Boston lost for just the fifth time in 16 games, but dropped two of three in the weekend series that was highlighted by a benches-clearing incident on Friday.
Jake McGee (2-1) retired Gonzalez, the only batter he faced, on a grounder to short to end the eighth with the bases loaded to earn the win.
Rodney pitched the ninth for his 16th save.
It's the latest the Red Sox (23-24) haven't been over .500 since late August of 1996.
Buchholz, who entered with a major league-high 7.84 ERA, scattered eight hits and allowed two runs over seven innings, walking one and striking out six in matching his season high with 111 pitches.
The Red Sox had given Buchholz a major league-best 8.76 runs in his starts, but they were unable to put together any sustained offense against Jeremy Hellickson until rallying in the seventh.
Trailing 2-0, David Ortiz drew a leadoff walk and Kevin Youkilis singled before Gonzalez lofted a fly ball down the left-field line that hooked into the first row of Green Monster seats just inside the pole.
Hellickson gave up three runs, seven hits, walked two and struck out three over 7 2-3 innings.
The Rays broke up a scoreless game with a run in the fourth. Matt Joyce had a one-out double and advanced on the play when right fielder Gonzalez's throw missed the cutoff, hitting off the top of Dustin Pedroia's lunging attempt in short right and rolling about 20 feet away. Zobrist then bounced to first, scoring Joyce.
Gonzalez played right for just the second time in Fenway Park due to a number of injuries to Boston's outfield.
The benches cleared Friday when Boston reliever Franklin Morales threw behind Luke Scott before hitting him in the right leg.
Rhymes' two-out RBI single made it 2-0 in the seventh after Rodriguez reached on a double, barely beating Pedroia's tag with a headfirst slide.
Hellickson, who had his worst start of the season against the Red Sox in Fenway on April 14, allowed just four singles in the first six innings and only one runner to second base. That came when Scott Podsednik reached with one out in the third and advanced on a ground out, but Pedroia ended the inning with a fly out.
Hellickson gave up five runs in five innings in Boston's second home game of the season in April.
B.J. Upton extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single, matching his career best.
Buchholz had double plays turned behind him to end the fifth and sixth.
Notes: Boston 3B Will Middlebrooks doesn't look like he's let his early success spoil his attitude. He was walking through the clubhouse before Sunday's game and Gonzalez yelled, "Franchise" but the rookie kept walking until Gonzalez yelled, "Will." It finally got his attention and he turned around. The rookie drove in nine runs in his first four games when he came up earlier this month, matching a major league record. ... The Rays had won the last 12 "walkoffs" they'd been involved in before Saturday night's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox. "It felt unusual," manager Joe Maddon said before the game. ... Boston entered the day with a major league-leading 181 extra-base hits. ... Rays 1B Carlos Pena hit leadoff for the fifth straight game.

2003 Mazda Tribute Reviews and Ratings
Utility 4D ES 2WD
What is the value for selling it.
Expert Reviews
It's a well-worn cliche, but the Mazda Tribute really puts some sport in sport-utility. Responsive handling and brisk V6 performance make Tribute one of best of the small SUVs sold today. Mazda and Ford worked jointly on developing the Mazda Tribute and Ford Escape, and together they outclass the other small utilities, at least on dry pavement.
Mazda Tribute delivers an excellent value for people who want the image and versatility of a sport-utility, coupled with refinement and better on-road handling than truck-based utilities can offer.
Tribute ES, the top model, comes loaded with leather seating, a six-disc in-dash CD player and other luxury features. Upgrades for the 2003 Tribute ES include dash trim designed to look like carbon fiber, side-impact airbags that come standard, and available heated seats and mirrors.
Mazda Tribute is available in three trim levels: DX ($18,295), LX ($21,680) and ES ($23,270).
DX is powered by a 130-horsepower four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission; it is not available with an automatic.
LX and ES are fitted with a 200-horsepower V6 and a four-speed automatic transmission. In fact, 90 percent of all Tributes are sold with the V6 and automatic.
All models are available with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive and other equipment included with it adds $1200 on V6 models and $1700 to the DX.
DX is well equipped, with air conditioning; power windows, mirrors and locks; remote keyless entry; tilt steering; a roof rack; 16-inch alloy wheels rear privacy glass.
LX adds cruise control, fog lights, wider tires and appearance items. A 60/40 split rear seat replaces the one-piece folding rear seat found in the DX.
Side airbags and anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on ES. Side airbags are optional ($250) on LX, but to get them you must also order ABS ($300). A six-way power driver's seat, standard on ES, is optional on LX for $250.
Mazda Tribute has an aggressive look due to its forward-tilted stance, short overhangs and wide track. Thick bumpers, side cladding and wheel lip moldings smoothly integrated into the bodywork convey a sense of stability and refined ruggedness. Large multi-reflector headlamps with clear lenses and rear combination lamps with crystal lenses add a sporty dash. A two-tone color scheme and minimal use of chrome create a clean appearance. The Tribute is aerodynamically superior to several of its competitors.
Mazda Tribute's external dimensions are comparable to those of the Jeep Liberty and Honda CR-V. It is longer than a RAV4 and nearly as wide as a Ford Explorer.
Tribute offers lots of front and rear legroom. It's capable of seating five, but more comfortable with four, and no shoulder belt is provided for the rear-center position.
Tribute's front bucket seats were improved last year (2002). They are comfortable and of higher quality than those found in many SUVs. The same is true of the Tribute's rear bench seat. But as in many small sport-utilities, the Tribute's rear-side windows do not roll down all the way.
The second-row seat folds down, revealing a flat cargo floor and nearly 64 cubic feet of cargo space. The Tribute will even accommodate 4x8-foot sheets of plywood, if you don't mind flipping open the rear hatch glass and letting the plywood stick out the back. The glass does not have to be closed when opening the rear hatch. A 12-volt power outlet is located in the rear of the cargo compartment.
Radio controls are easy to use, and the heating, air conditioning and ventilation controls are simple. Cruise controls are mounted on the steering wheel. The instrument panel is straightforward and easy to read. New for 2003 is a two-tone color scheme for the instrument panel, in either gray or beige. The center panel is finished in brushed aluminum in the DX and LX, and with faux carbon fiber in the ES.
Noise, vibration and harshness levels are low when underway. Visibility in all directions is very good. The shape of the Tribute's hood combines with its seating position to allow the driver to clearly see both front corners of the vehicle, an advantage over the Honda CR-V. Narrow A-pillars (front) and D-pillars (rear) minimize blind spots. The low bottom edge of the rear window maximizes visibility, and there's no spare tire hanging off the liftgate to block the view.
Leather seating surfaces and a six-way power driver's seat are standard on the ES model. Mazda is using different leather for 2003 and says that it's softer than before.
The Mazda Tribute is an agile and powerful little SUV. It handles better than other sport-utilities. Its sharp steering allows the driver to guide it precisely. At high speeds, the Tribute is supremely stable. Handling response is relatively taut, without that mushiness that characterizes SUVs with big off-road tires and long-travel suspensions. Tribute handles better on the road than a Jeep Liberty, and it's more fun to drive than a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4.
Steering response is direct and accurate without a big dead spot in the center. There's enough feeling in the steering to impart a sense of control. The tires provide respectable grip in paved corners. The Tribute offers surprisingly good transient response in left-right-left lane-change maneuvers. (The suspensions on front- and four-wheel-drive versions are identical.)
The Tribute's ride quality is smoother and more sophisticated than that of the other small sport-utilities in its class, also, with firm damping and a good control of body motions.
About 90 percent of all Tributes come with Ford's 3.0-liter V6. Similar in design to the Duratec V6 used in the Ford Taurus, this specially tuned 200-horsepower engine gives the Tribute a distinctive advantage in performance over the other small utilities. It isn't the smoothest V6 on the market, nor is it the roughest. But it is smoother and more satisfying than the four-cylinder engines found on most small sport-utilities, including the Toyota RAV4.
The V6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission communicate well. The transmission shifts smoothly up and down, appropriately for the situation. A broad power band means the engine never lugs or strains. Mazda tuned the transmission for slightly more aggressive shifting and mapped it for quicker acceleration than in the Ford Escape. Properly equipped, the Tribute can tow trailers up to 3500 pounds, which covers lightweight ski boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and small boats.
The Tribute is more than capable of heading down remote two-tracks on trout fishing excursions. It is not offer off-road capability, however. The Jeep Liberty is better for that. Though it performs well on primitive unpaved roads, the Tribute is not intended as an off-road vehicle. There is no traction control system, nor is there a low-range set of gears. Neither its four-wheel-drive system nor its suspension is up to tackling the Rubicon Trail. The four-wheel-drive versions should get to most of the places most of us want to go. More important, the four-wheel-drive system improves driver control on wet pavement, ice and snow. Front-wheel-drive (2WD) Tributes may have trouble slogging through silt or mud without getting stuck.
Specifically developed for the Tribute, the four-wheel-drive system works full time, automatically transferring power between the front and rear wheels as needed through a gadget called a rotary blade coupling. This coupling (similar to a torque converter in an automatic transmission) will, for example, send more power to the rear wheels if you stomp the gas at a traffic light on wet pavement and front wheels start to spin. On some models, a switch allows the driver to lock the torque split 50/50, which is useful when driving off road or on snow-covered roads.
Smooth and responsive, the brakes do a good job of slowing the Tribute down in a hurry. Optional anti-lock brakes (ABS) come into play just when expected and are detectable by the familiar pulsating sensation. We highly recommend opting for ABS.
Mazda Tribute offers more power than the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and other small SUVs with four-cylinder engines. On the road, it is more sophisticated than the Nissan Xterra, Isuzu Rodeo, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, or Suzuki Vitara. And it costs less than a similarly equipped Xterra. Tribute is a joy to drive and is at the top of its class.

Andy Reid's homecoming was a smashing success for the new Kansas City coach thanks to a dynamic defense that forced five turnovers and sacked a harried Michael Vick five times in the Chiefs' 26-16 victory on Thursday night.
"Yeah, it was different," said Reid, who spent 14 years with the Eagles. "I was on the opposite side of the field than I normally am at, but I can't tell you that I was caught up in that part of it."
Vick even limped off with 1 minute, 7 seconds to go after fumbling, but stayed around to hug Reid following the final play.
Kansas City, who have not had a giveaway in opening 3-0, have won one more game already than they did last season — when they earned the first overall draft pick, then hired Reid days after he was fired on the heels of Philly's 4-12 finish.
The usually stoic Reid showed some fire to match his bright red outfit late in the first half when he thought the Chiefs got a bad spot. He came out to the hash mark to yell at the officials, then walked off at halftime still gesturing his displeasure.
That was far more emotion than he displayed when he entered the stadium with the Chiefs just before kickoff. Although the Philly fans gave him a warm ovation, some standing in tribute to the man who won 140 games and six division titles for them, Reid walked briskly along the sideline, never turning his gaze toward the stands, but he later said he recognized the tribute.
"I appreciate the fans and the support they gave me," he said. "That was kind of them."
He certainly had to like much of what he saw on the field from his defense, particularly Justin Houston.
It was offensive master Reid's defense and special teams that set the tone and put his team ahead early, silencing the sea of green at the Linc. The Chiefs forced four first-half turnovers and Houston had three of their four sacks.
He had another half-sack to start the second half, off a bad snap to Vick, and forced Vick to fumble with 1:34 remaining. Houston have six-and-a-half sacks in three games.
Damaris Johnson's poor punt return gave Kansas City the ball at the Eagles eight, leading to Ryan Succop's 33-yard field goal for a quick 3-0 lead. Derrick Johnson then deflected Vick's ill-advised throw into the flat and Eric Berry picked it off, going 38 yards with the first interception of the year for the Eagles quarterback.
There would be more mistakes as Philadelphia (1-2) lost their eighth straight home game, but first, after falling behind 10-0, Vick got the Eagles' no-huddle, fast-tempo offense going with the longest run of his 12-year career.
He burst up the middle, shook off two attempted tackles and sped 61 yards. Two plays later, it was his arm doing the damage. Under a heavy rush, he stood in and led Jason Avant perfectly in the left corner of the end zone for a 22-yard score.
That three-play, 87-yard spurt epitomized the fast-paced offense coach Chip Kelly brought from Oregon in replacing Reid, but Kelly got cute, going for a two-point conversion on tight end Zach Ertz's run that failed.
The takeaways kept the Chiefs in front and after Avery turned a short pass into a 51-yard gain thanks to sloppy Eagles tackling, Succop made a 31-yard field goal. He kicked a 34-yarder moments later after another turnover, Sean Smith's interception, for a 16-6 halftime edge.
Avery had a big night, finishing with seven catches for 141 yards.


text: wikipedia: Treblinka (Polish pronunciation: [trɛˈblʲinka]) was a Nazi extermination camp in occupied Poland during World War II near the village of Treblinka in the modern-day Masovian Voivodeship of Poland. The camp, which was constructed as part of Operation Reinhard, operated between July 23, 1942 and October 19, 1943. During this time, approximately 870,000 men, women and children were killed at Treblinka. This figure includes more than 800,000 Jews, as well as an undetermined number of Romani people.

There is no dearth of relationship improvement guidebooks for women and Obsession Phrases by Kelsey Diamond happens to be the new offering on the shelves.
It's almost customary for all these products to promise what seem to be the white elephants in the world of human interactions; happy relationship, success in attracting men, a sudden peaking of confidence levels and much more.
Unfortunately, a few pages into these books and most realize they are being given an overdose of commonsense advice, which they can get for free. Isn't that what girlfriends are for?
However, given the thriving market for such products, just about everybody wants to make a quick buck by claiming to provide the magical solution that the Bridget Jones's of the world need.
This brings us to question of the day, is Obsession Phrases just another futile book that you are going to toss out or does it really have the life altering secrets that it purports to reveal?
In this Obsession Phrases review, I'll delve deeper into exactly what this product is, what it can do for you, its pros and cons and whether you should be investing your time, money and, above all, hopes in it.
If you'd like to skip the review and let Kelsey Diamond explain herself how it all works, then click this direct link to her website.
Obsessions Phrases: Does It Really Work?
Before you try to analyze the efficacy of the information provided in this guidebook, you need to understand the core principle on which the product is based. Obsession Phrases claims to make use of two techniques; Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and Miltonian hypnosis that are now widely being used in psychotherapy as well as in negotiation and entertainment settings.
In layman terms, think mentalists!
They are the guys on TV who can read your mind and steal away the secrets buried deep in your psyche. These are tried, tested and scientifically devised verbal cues that send messages and affirmations to the unconscious mind. When used correctly, the impact of Neurolinguistic programming and Miltonian hypnosis is utterly staggering!
The author of Obsessions Phrases, Kelsey Diamond, worked with several hypnotherapists early on in her life. So, it can be safely said that she may have picked up some of the best kept secrets in the business.
Unlike the regular image of hypnosis, there is no pendulum to concentrate on here. This is mind control with mere words. In fact, psychotherapists and psychologists have been relying on these techniques to successfully get their patients out of things like depression, anxiety and addictions.
So, can covert hypnosis really be used for seduction like the Obsession Phrases ebook says?
In a single word, yes!
In fact, so potent are these methodologies, they can be used in just about any life situation. However, in this particular product, they are targeted at getting very specific results in a relationship/courtship setting.
The best part about this downloadable PDF is that there is no beating around the bush. You are told clearly what works, how to use it, and what to expect from it.
The information is laid out succinctly, so the reader does not have to struggle with the application of the principles. In fact, the author has very creatively segregated these obsession phrases/emotion trigger words based on the scenarios they can be used in.
So, inside the Obsession Phrases book, you will find emotional trigger phrases for every stage of the relationship. From the very first meeting which calls for a serious dose of seduction right up to the time when couples start drifting apart because their relationship lacks that spark, and everything in between is covered in a fun and interesting way.
Attraction, dating, breakups, commitment, dealing with "players", turning a man on, keeping a guy interested, getting him to fall in love. There really are effective words and phrases for just about any scenario you can imagine. And they have really great names too, like the Love Cocktail Phrase, Razzle-Dazzle phrase, Everlasting Attraction phrase, Whiz-Bang phrase, Monogamy Awakener phrase, Attraction Spinner phrase, Obey Me phrase, and many more.
What Are You Getting When You Download Obsession Phrases?
With the Obsession Phrases PDF, you're getting a program that not only covers emotion trigger phrases extensively but also teaches you how to use nonverbal cues to your advantage.
The complete Obsession Phrases guide consists of:
The Obsession Phrases Main Manual: This is the book that will tell you about the emotion trigger phrases you should be using and how and when to use them. You will also learn about how to use body language to project a confident image. Moreover, the guide also has simple and effective tips on using some classic flirtation methods such as the coy smile or the sensual look and more.
The Man Dictionary: If you fail miserably most of the time deciphering what's going on in your man's mind, then you are definitely not alone. However, with this little dictionary, you will know exactly what your man is trying to convey consciously as well as subconsciously.
The Mind Reader Report: This is a checklist that will help you understand what and how men think and what it is they want even when there are no words spoken. This is great if you have a man who doesn't like to "talk about it", and who would rather keep to himself than tell you what's going on and what he's feeling.
Apart from these, the program also has an audio CD and several other reports which are given to buyers as bonuses. These include the extremely insightful "True Love Report", which is a guide on how to get a guy to the "love struck" phase and the "Extreme Case Scenario Turnaround" which teaches you how to undo the mistakes that have jeopardized your relationships in the past.
All in all, Obsessions Phrases is a complete course that teaches you how to get a man to experience feelings of love and devotion toward you so that he stays interested and committed long-term.
Should You Put Your Money On This Product?
If you are looking for more than just basic advice, you will appreciate the step-by-step approach of this guidebook. Obsession Phrases offers a realistic look into how seduction works at the mental level and what makes men tick.
Understanding a man can be a daunting task for a woman because men usually don't wear their emotions on their sleeves. Knowing what men want to hear and what they NEED to hear in order to fall in love and stay devoted puts you in the driver's seat to ensuring his interest is always focused on you and only you.
Societal conditioning often puts men out of touch with their own emotions, which sometimes causes a man to part with the very woman who they've desired all their lives. Kelsey Diamond's Obsession Phrases shows you how to shoot down the rebuttals and use language to get to his heart.
This is not so much a dating advice book but a guide to hone and nurture long lasting relationships through language and communication.
The Pros

The Cons
- Does not address the confidence issues that a woman may have after facing years of rejection
- It tells you about the phrases that will create an impact but actually putting them to work will take some amount of practice and may require some women to step out of their comfort zone
- More discussion on the right setting and environment to use the various phrases would have also helped
- The program could have also used insights on how women can restrict their own self-limiting beliefs to keep from "tripping over their own feet" so to speak
The Verdict
Overall, the response to Obsessions Phrases has been very positive with most women reporting immediate and surprisingly positive results. However, the product is still new and it will be a few months before we get to hear more detailed client feedback.
My own experience with the product was amazing and unexpected, so I would definitely recommend it to any woman who is struggling with relationship woes, whether you are having a hard time to get men to notice you or are in a drab relationship that is going nowhere.

Best 18 Places to Play Golf in 2012 in Westchester and the Hudson Valley, Upstate NY
Our panel's dream course consists of 18 holes that stand out at the extreme ends of the yardage scale
(page 1 of 21)
Driveable par fours. Par fives so long that even the pros lay up. One-shotters you can barely reach with a driver. Extreme golf holes are the ones you remember, the ones you laugh (and cry) about over beers at the 19th hole. How is any mere mortal supposed to make par on a hole so long your second shot requires a howitzer? Whose bright idea was it to put the hole within half-wedge distance downhill over water? When you par a 600-yarder, you crow about it for days. When your scorecard shows a double bogey on a hole even your grandmother could par, you hang your head in shame.
We chose 18 of the longest and shortest holes in Westchester, just to see what kind of golf course they would make. On the surface, our course looks pretty standard at 6,764 yards and par 72 from the blue tees. But we ended up with a monster front nine that stretches for almost 4,000 yards. The back nine is probably harder, even though it's well under 3,000. Both are guaranteed to challenge every facet of your game.
One thing we proved, by the way, is that long doesn't necessarily mean better. You can have just as much fun — and heartache — trying to make par by teeing off with a five iron and approaching with a delicate wedge as you can pounding driver, three wood, nine iron. In fact, the mental challenge of short holes adds a whole different type of excitement to the game. Golf, after all, isn't about who can swing the hardest, it's about who can get the ball in the hole in the least number of strokes. That's the long and short of it.

I'm curious…do you think VH1 and Mona Scott Young really, truly believe that viewers think Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is a reality show? The acting is fantastically tragic and there is nothing real about it…except for that sex tape, clearly.
Nikko didn't tell Mimi Faust about his confrontation with Stevie J. immediately after it happened, but he spills the beans when they are driving the next day. When she learns that Nikko has told her ex about the deal Vivid, she has to pull over to read Nikko the riot act. She is cruising in her new vehicle (thanks, Steven Hirsch!), and Mimi doesn't want to wreck it when she wrecks him. As she cusses up a storm, Nikko just laughs that Stevie shouldn't get her riled up like this. Mimi tries to kick him out of her ride, but when he refuses, she's the one who storms off on foot.
Lil' Scrappy is eating eggs with Erica P…or at least he hopes to be scrambling some things with her. He arrives at her house to find out that she's lit candles and served wine, and he wonders whether he's there to pray or have sex. Scrappy is a bit nervous, but he wants to be a better person. He is feeling guilty about Bambi and he wants to think with this head and not his hiz-ead. Scrappy shuts down Erica's advances, complimenting her that he'd definitely be with her if he didn't already have Bambi. And they say romance is dead!

|On a scale from 1-10 where 1 is "I look really sexy in these sunglasses" and 10 is "of course we are joking", where does this fall? And are they naked?
But that aside...
Parents are just good people, aren't they? I mean, being a parent is so hard. I am sitting here blogging with 4 kids going wild around me. And I'm supposed to be trying to find a job/residency spot in the US in my time off, you know when I'm not working on my PhD and not running or cleaning or cooking or comforting a sick child. Blah, blah blah. Seriously - every parent must feel like they work harder than every other parent and their spouse, don't they? But they don't. We all just work really hard and then sometimes we're lazy.
Are people who fall in love seriously meant to have kids together?
Sometimes SR and I get glimpses of the way life used to be. For those who don't know, I was dating him for 3 months before I got pregnant. We went out on a 9km run together on Saturday, at 4.40 min per km speed (had to get a training run in) while we discussed the history of the Republican Party in the US. It was great. We even added some fartleks as a sort of race. (okay, not like we can ever really race each other)
The next day we tried a 15km at this same pace and I started screaming at him when he told me to stop looking at my Garmin. I was probably just "hangry" as Danni would say. I wish I had more time to just tell him he's a good dad and that I am thankful for his help. And that we could go on a running vacation together, just the two of us. But people make choices and we chose to have kids. And we love them.
Writing Opportunity
I was contacted about writing for a website called "Über Mother Runner" http://ubermotherrunner.wordpress.com/. It's about mothers who take on ultimate running/exercise challenges and write about it. I applied to be a writer and I thought it would be awesome if some of my favorite bloggers would write for this site, too. Only 1 article every 3 months. That's doable, right? It would be fun to have a resource for likeminded running moms.
As long as we're talking about writing, I've been meaning to establish some
Blogging Rules:
1. Do not write like an expert trainer, dietician or coach if you are not (or if you are). ie. skip the posts where you try to give advice and please just tell your story. Humor is encouraged.
2. If necessary, look up the word "random" and realize it can never be used before the word "thoughts" as nothing we imagine could be random. Please only use random when referring to coin flipping or the numbers specifically generated by a computer program in a random fashion.
3. Please do not! overuse! the exclamation point! ie. blog title "Today I went on a run!" or "Friends!"
4. Please do not be beautiful or look professional or have sponsors. I realize this may be hard for some of you...
|I am talking to you Candice Burt who gets 3rd at HURT
And please do not be from Sweden and win races like the Pikes Peak Marathon and look this good while doing it. And don't you dare get sponsored by Salomon.
Do we have a deal?

What People are Saying About Fanning the Flames
"I recommend [Fanning the Flames] to anyone who wants to truly understand the lengths to which political fanatics will go to get what they want." - Stephen P.
"If you enjoy politics or history , whether you are liberal , conservative or somewhere in between , you will enjoy this book . It is thought provoking and it will stimulate hours of discussion." - James B.
"Pappas' book is an important one, concentrating as it does on the ways in which Alinsky's language and tactics direct and mold political discourse... the book touches specifically on tactics that more generally are borne of ideological kernel assumptions that have become institutionalized such that our politics, on both "sides", has become infested with leftist tropes that move the country inexorably toward authoritarianism..." - Jeff Goldstein, Protein Wisdom
"The Introduction to Peter Christopher Pappas's new book Fanning the Flames looks promising...." - Dave Blount, Moonbattery
"Mr. Pappas' "Fanning the Flames" is yet another book by a conservative author that distorts Saul Alinsky's life and legacy. Others in this genre include Matthew Vadum's "Subversion, Inc," Stanley Kurtz's "Radical in Chief," Newt Gingrich's " To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine," and Aaron Klein's "The Manchurian President." - Peter Drier, Occidental College

Maricopa County experiences extreme weather, including heat waves, dust storms, drought, wildfires, flooding, and poor air quality events. Such occurrences are known as climate-sensitive hazards, and these hazards could be further affected by long-term changes to the climate (temperature, precipitation, or other weather conditions). These climate-sensitive hazards pose a threat to public health and can lead directly to illness or death or worsen underlying health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses. While all populations within Maricopa County may be affected by climate-sensitive hazards, some are more vulnerable than others, including children and older adults; individuals with physical/cognitive impairment; individuals living in poverty; individuals using certain prescription medications; or individuals experiencing homelessness.
In alignment with the Department's mission and vision of "a healthy and safe community," we have created a Bridging Climate Change and Public Health (BCCPH) Strategic Plan Opens a New Window. that identifies 5 priority actions to address environmental concerns affecting the health and well-being of the community:
- Celebrating Success and Champions
- Fostering Environmental Actions for a Healthier Community
- Coordinating Research and Collaborative Efforts to Catalyze Change
- Building Community Awareness Through a Strategic and Targeted Communication Plan
- Promoting Public Education About Climate and Health
The BCCPH Strategic Plan Opens a New Window. was developed through stakeholder meetings and derived by a workgroup consisting of internal partners within MCDPH and external governmental agencies, local community organizations, and academia. Through this plan, MCDPH intends to support development of interventions that address climate-sensitive hazards identified in the Arizona Extreme Weather, Climate, and Health Profile Report Opens a New Window. .
The Climate and Health Champions Recognition Program was established in 2017 to address the priority action "Celebrating Success and Champions." You can view highlights of 2018 award winners in the Addendum to the Arizona Climate and Health Adaptation Plan 2018 Opens a New Window. .

Is Travel Insurance Necessary?
First and foremost, watch out for duplicate coverage. Always check with your health insurer, as well as your homeowners, life and auto policies to see if you already have coverage for some of the travel risks you face.
For example, if you're a member of AAA, you actually have benefits that are quite similar to some of the travel policies out there. These are the kinds of things you should look into.
The next step is to assess your trip. What are the risks? Say you're going out of the country for an extended period. Emergency medical coverage can be really valuable if your regular health insurance doesn't already cover you while abroad.
While premiums can vary based on age and trip length, a typical plan will cost between $50 to $100 for a short international trip. This relatively small investment can save you from potentially catastrophic bills in case anything goes wrong.
So, is travel insurance necessary? Usually not, but be sure to assess your risks. Check existing coverage before you buy and don't pay for plans that cover small, manageable losses. Safe travels.

Motoyuki Daifu
Claiming, "I think people are generally interested in chaotic Japanese life," photographer Motoyuki Daifu satisfies this curiosity with intimate color snapshots of his own domestic life. "I like photos that require me to step into the life of the subject," he says, "so I often shoot inside someone's house, in this case my own apartment." His burgeoning career has begun with two celebrated series: "The family is a pubis. So I cover it with pretty panties" (2009), in which he invites viewers in to the cramped, messy apartment he shares with his parents and siblings through casual, unflinching photographs; and "Lovesody" (2011), a tender photographic chronicle of his short-lived, intense love affair with a single mother of two. Citing Juergen Teller as an influence, Daifu captures the mundane, decidedly un-sexy realities of home, family, and relationships with a light touch.

Feb. 25, 2008-Phang Nga Bay Regatta Revisited
Good Start
I've put this photo back up because it is one of my favorite photos.
Maybe we surprised ourselves a bit on the first day of the Phang Nga Bay Regatta when we came out of the box for the first start and found ourselves with clear air and in the lead. It might have shocked the other boats probably a bit more; the only thing that most of these guys knew about us was that we spent an hour aground the night before on a sand bar in front of the resort where the skipper's meeting was, missing the meeting.
Not auspicious.
But on race day it was different: we were starting with the racing class and we let them know we were there.
The pin end was favored and we came in from that end on port looking at the other boats coming at us on starboard and looking for a hole. The first two boats were early and were staying away from the line. We passed one safely and hunted the second.
He was slow; trying to kill some time, and anyhow he wasn't really expecting a port tack boat
I looked at the time: 30 seconds.
"I'm staying clear of this guy but we're tacking to start as soon as he passes."
Judy and Pierre didn't say a word but they were definitely attentive; we had no rights.
No worries; I've done this before. The boat passed and I came up sharply.
"Helm's down".
There was a flapping of kevlar and that beautiful metallic ring of a spinning primary winch and the sail came over and was sheeted in. Pierre ran forward to skirt and I used the time to build some speed.
The helmsman of the other boat was screaming. I didn't know if it was at me or at his crew but there was nothing he could do to touch us. I turned my attention away from him and looked at the distance to go.
Two lengths, it was time. We went for the line.
The pin to leeward.
"All clear" came over the radio. Only Yasooda, the J-V 70, was near us and we were ahead of him.
The rest of the fleet were caught behind the line in the bad air.
Judy and Pierre and I looked at each other: this is nice, let's go.
Yasooda promptly passed us but we held onto to second for the first two marks. Then crossing the flats where a reef was marked we went low to go around it and the boats behind seemed to ignore it and went high. They got some separation and when the wind went light it turned into a lottery. After that things got mixed up a bit and four hours later we finished forth and got second place on corrected time.

Finishing a drifter
That was the way it went for the next three races too: In the last minute before every race there would be some frantic activity as the three of us on board tried to get everything set and trimmed and the boat pointed in the right direction, then we'd look up and find ourselves in front. We got great starts.
John Everingham
Light Air
Then the faster boats would grind us down but we gloried in those first few minutes each day and we knew that we were doing fine.
The result in the end was second place for the regatta and we were happy with that.
Maybe next year we'll leave off all the cruising equipment and improve on it.

Portland State University's Community Environmental Services (CES) is taking the wraps off a new service. The Zero Waste Team, a student-led waste diversion service aimed at helping event planners target zero waste events.
Building on more than a decade of experience providing event waste diversion services as a contractor with the city of Portland, CES is now offering Zero Waste Team services to the private sector.
We're able to leverage significant experience and research to get the best results," said Eric Crum, director of Community Environmental Services. "To me, it's not about being competitive in the marketplace, it's about giving students another project to work on."
The service was piloted with Food Services of America Portland branch, a distributor that holds several food shows per year and has been working toward zero waste events since 2011.
Diverting 90 percent or more of the waste generated on site from the landfill through recycling, composting, and other programs is identified by the Zero Waste International Alliance as aligning with its Zero Waste Business Principles.
Working with PSU is important to her company, said Pamela Lewis, marketing programs and events manager for FSA-Portland. FSA has contracted with the CES Zero Waste Team on two events this spring.
"We want to work with like-minded organizations," Lewis said. "We even promote PSU, we want people to know who we're partnering with."
At the FSA's Annual Foodshow May 7 at the Portland Expo Center, more than 270 vendors set up booths, most of them handing out a variety of food to be sampled by attendees.
Student workers from CES met with vendors before the show to share the zero waste game plan: aggressive composting and recycling with any leftover food eligible for donation packed up for the Oregon Food Bank. Throughout the day, 14 CES staff members walked the aisles and stood at waste stations throughout the show helping attendees sort their waste into the proper bin.
"Our staff is already extremely knowledgeable, but what's great about this project is that students are learning and getting better at each event—it's great to see," said Bethany Davidson, CES' Zero Waste Team Lead.
