Emergency response
When children and families around the world are suffering through conflict, poverty and disaster, Mercy Corps is there to respond with lifesaving relief and long-term support.
We are on the ground in more than 40 countries, empowering people to survive crisis, build better lives and transform their communities for good. After an emergency, we work quickly to meet the urgent needs of survivors and give people the resources they need to build back even stronger.
Thanks to our global community of supporters and partners, we are able to help millions of families during their time of need — providing lifesaving assistance to Syrian refugees, reaching survivors after natural disasters like the earthquakes in Nepal, and distributing critical seeds and tools to displaced families in South Sudan.
Our response during and after emergencies ensures that people are empowered to strengthen their communities from within. Now, and for the future.
The Syria crisis

As the war in Syria continues with no end in sight, the resulting humanitarian crisis has left millions of children and families suffering the consequences. We're working to support some 2.5 million people affected by the crisis, including around 470,000 people inside Syria whom we provide with lifesaving food and relief every month.

Natural disasters
We have responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, including the Hurricane in Haiti, the Nepal earthquakes, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Japan tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.

In 2015, two powerful earthquakes killed thousands and devastated Nepal. Historic sites tumbled, roads were blocked by dangerous landslides, and thousands of homes were destroyed. Our team responded quickly to deliver emergency supplies to those in need, and now they are working hard to make sure that the people of Nepal recover.

Families in conflict
Ongoing conflict brings more than just violence: it can compromise local food supplies, drive families from their homes and leave entire communities devastated for years to come.
Our seasoned emergency responders work through conflict in places like Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic to distribute critical supplies, protect families uprooted by ongoing violence, and help communities rebuild.

South Sudan has been in turmoil since political conflict erupted in 2013, just two years after the country gained its independence in 2011. Now, 1 in 3 people are displaced and millions are at risk of starvation. The ongoing conflict has thrown the country into chaos and devastated the economy and food supply.

As forces battle to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS, families in the region are bracing for the effects of more violence. Already hundreds of thousands of families have fled their homes due to fighting, and more may soon be forced to flee the city of Mosul, which is still home to roughly 1.5 million people.
Our teams in Iraq are on the ground and ready to respond. Learn more about the humanitarian crisis in Mosul ▸

In the Lake Chad Basin, drought and massive displacement due to violence from Boko Haram are converging to create a dire humanitarian crisis. In Nigeria alone, roughly 4.4 million people are in need of food assistance and many children are suffering from severe malnutrition. It's a complicated crisis, and we are still learning about the true consequences that this conflict will have on families in the areas where we work.

Avery's Colorful Closet Nook
Name: Avery
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
When we moved into our 750 square foot rented apartment, this closet became a catch-all for boxes and items that didn't otherwise have a place. But when we saw the pink plus sign, we decided that this black hole of unpacked boxes would be the perfect nook for our little girl.
Covering up old (lead?) paint was a priority, but of course, so was making the most of the 30x50 inches of floor space. Yes, that was inches.
Daddy took off the wooden door and revived an old sewing machine to make a sound-dampening curtain. A column fan turned on its side was mounted above the doorway to supply fresh air and white noise. Mini crib options were limited: the Bloom Alma Urban was the only one that would allow an adult to slide in and tuck in a sleepy girl. Her next mattress, gifted from friends, just fits under the faux floor. It's padded and carpeted to prevent late-night cries from reaching the downstairs neighbors.
Overhead, fabric from the curtain conceals some more sound dampening material for the sake of the upstairs neighbors. A few shelves make use of the vertical space. Minus the crib (a gift from grandparents), we only needed to spend around $100 to turn an ugly dark closet into a cozy sleeping nook. The best part is we can very easily take everything but the paint with us when we buy our own home.
Thanks, Mike! You can see more of Mike at his blog, RIVETED.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Update Blog with "Key Allies"
The North Ameican Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn blog is updated with new information on "Key Allies", which is broken down into two categories: "The Scions of The Seventh Dawn" and "Garlond Ironworks". You can check out artworks of them below.
Please click "Read More" to view the descriptions of these key allies.

SE should rename this A Realm Reblonde. Minfillia remimds me a bit of Ashe from FFXII and Thanalan looks like he's a cross between Tidus and Vaan.
It's nice to see Alphinaud & Alisaie another set of twins, a shout out to FFIV with Palom and Porom.
And poor Cid all alone in the Garlond Ironworks. I'm sure more characters will be added in time.

Noaki Yoshida Addresses Concerns about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
The teams from Final Fantasy World and Final Fantasy Ring conducted an exclusive French interview with director and producer, Naoki Yoshida, on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn at Japan Expo and we now have the proper English transcript! Yoshida was grilled with worrisome questions regarding the core ideas of the game, the duty finder, the inclusion of Lightning, and PvP.
There's a concern that the duty finder aspect of the game will make players lazy and reluctant to explore the world of Eorzea. But, Yoshida argues that the goal is to give players more options - more liberty. He doesn't want to force anybody to do anything. If someone only has 1 hour to play per day, the duty finder is helpful. You don't have to travel the world if you don't want to.
Regarding the inclusion of Lightning into the game, Yoshida stressed, once again, that there will be a reason in the storyline that explains why she's there "naturally". She doesn't just barge in the game.
On the topic of PvP, Yoshida says that it's hugely influenced by the game, Dark Age of Camelot. He wants player to enjoy PvP as a sport, not merely to murder other players.
Lastly, Yoshida says the development teams have heard the negative feedback from fans on the PlayStation 3 port and they have tried their best to push the limits of the hardware. He stated, "Just because we try hard, it doesn't mean the speed will be improved, but we are going to do our best to make all the playable zones appear as quickly as possible. We are also going to use the feedback from the user interface. From the graphics point of view, I think we have pretty much reached the perfection for the PS3 version. We have tried so hard until the very last minute, we feel comfortable that we have managed to have worked with the limitations of the PS3 hardware as an MMO with this quality of graphics."

Lightning awoke.Regarding the inclusion of Lightning into the game, Yoshida stressed, once again, that there will be a reason in the storyline that explains why she's there "naturally". She doesn't just barge in the game
"Is this...Pulse? I...I did it. I restored the world to its former glory."
*Lalafell and other mysterious beings roam past Lightning*
"This can't be right...where am I?"
*An Airship lands nearby and a man steps out. Lightning stands on guard*
"Who are you? And where am I?"
"The names Cid. And this is Eorzea."
"Correct. Long ago this land was destroyed. Apparently due to the effects of an event in another world. Many were killed. And it's ALL YOUR FAULT"
"Legend tells us a woman would appear. That woman led to our land being destroyed. A paradox occured that ripped through time and space and entered our world. Now we live in A Realm Reborn anew...and you must face the consequences...
...Eorzeans, kill her!"

Poor Lightning. Nothing ever goes well for her.
"There is no such thing as coincidence, only necessity."
I thought they were only putting her costume into the game, what the bleedin' hell?
YouTube: Nespithe.
PSN: Codguy1 (I didn't name it!)
"Were supposed to think were created to serve when
domination is in our nature".
^She is a character in the game, that and it seems Snow's outfit along with some XIII weapons too. The game im enjoying so far minus some framerate issues. I'll buy it when it's out and I will tolerate Lightning being omnipresent in every future Final Fantasy.
Right until this character from Final Fantasy XXVII gets so annoyed with Lightning trying to hog the limelight, that she makes a 'Saw-esque' incident occur.
I sure hope Lightning isn't intertwined with the main story to XIV.

I've never bought a Final Fantasy sound track before, and I doubt I ever will. I'll just enjoy the music in-game, and maybe listen to a few on youtube from time to time.

Anything But A Cocktail Dress: Unconventional Holiday Outfit Options
Even more good news: you probably own most of these pieces already, and you can mix and match them to create endless, chic combinations.
Jumpsuits are easier than a dress and can easily work year-round. Try this sleek Amour Vert Victoria Jumpsuit ($335) in Ivory with Sandro's Navy Vogue Shawl Collar Blazer ($460) for a minimalist look. Keep your accessories understated, using just a printed heel, as we did with a pair from Schutz, to tie everything together.
Halston Heritage Multi Metal Tab Clutch ($395) in Silver - in stores
Express Earcuff ($25) in Black - in stores
A bomber jacket may not be a typical choice for an evening out, but load it with muted gold sequins and suddenly it becomes the life of the party. Balance the sparkle of DKNY's Silk Jacket ($925) with a black wool romper, like the Cameo Lotus Romper ($174), a printed scarf in the same color family (similar here), and black Wolford Satin De Luxe Tights ($69). Finally, finish the look with gold accents: Jerome Dreyfuss' slouchy studded Goatskin Bobi Bag ($1095), Zara's Leather High Heel Court Shoes ($100) and some chain bracelets, like April Soderstrom's Jewelry Chain Gang Bracelet Set ($115), should do the trick.
Since layering is key in cold weather, why not take this opportunity to juxtapose interesting textures? Pair a structured neoprene coat like Cameo's marble-print Terrible Love Bomber Jacket ($229) with Tibi's silk A-Line Blouse ($298) and a pair of Ella Moss Slouchy Sequin Trousers ($198). Go for understated accessories, like Ferragamo's Minuadiere in Metal and Lucite ($1490) and Louise Et Cie's Jorly Loafers ($118), to keep the look polished.
Repurpose a demure pencil skirt like Burberry London Cotton Blend Lace Pencil Skirt ($1010) by adding a few glam separates. Working within a limited color palette, layer Express' Leather Bralette ($25) over a sheer t-shirt like Kain Label's Classic V-Neck ($88) and toss on an oversized, metallic jacket, ideally Isabel Marant's Camelia Jacket ($2190). Finish with a few whimsical necklaces like the Fresh Water Pearl Necklace ($730) and Hand-Painted Rhinestone Necklace ($680) from Alyssa Norton, party shoes like Jimmy Choo's Fedora Heels ($1,050) and a petite clutch in a sedate color, such as See by Chloe's Pernette Small Minaudière ($415).
LOFT's Tulle Skirt ($80) and lace stockings could skew girly without this buttery Leather Jacket from BLK DNM ($895). Round out the look with Rebecca Taylor's sweet Embellished Tee ($325), classic black Vince Camuto Akido Shoes ($118) and a structured metallic bag, like Banana Republic's Olivia Long Box Clutch ($120).
Vita Fede Titan Crystal Ring ($290) in Silver
Vita Fede Bulloni Crystal Ring ($240) Silver plated
High-waisted velvet pants don't initially scream 'sex appeal,' but tuck in a whisper of Cami NYC's Lace Trim Camisole ($128) and drape a blush Marc by Marc Jacobs Tuxedo Jacket ($498 in stores only) over your shoulders and you have a show-stopping outfit. Tuck your hair back on one side with Ben Amun's Crystal Bobby Pins ($130), slide on some metallic DKNY Saffi Ankle Strap Pumps ($245), and stash your essentials in Vince Camuto's Cleo Clutch ($168) before you walk out the door.

What I've been up to...
Lately I've been trying to figure out a difficult design problem for a new pattern. It's not going that well, and it's frustrating. However, it makes me glad on a daily basis that my 8th grade algebra teacher, Mrs. Rita Gary, took such pains to make sure that I succeeded in her class. Turns out knitting is one of those things that you use algebra for ALL THE TIME. Thank you, Mrs. Gary, wherever you are!
To get my mind off my troubles, there's nothing like a little bit of antique-mall button-box prowling to cheer a girl up. Here's my latest crop of finds, hiding all my aimless pattern-brainstorming scrawls...

weird how algebra really does have it's moments - in creative endeavors no less!
luv the buttons - seeing something with swirls and textures and... idk... just really like how they 'feel' visually

OMG-The Wake is Intimidating Me
Now, ya'll try to remember that I SAID I was new to Slalom. And I started wakeboarding last year when I bought my Maristar 215 (which I love). As I'm starting to get more confident on my new ski and trying to work both sides of the boat, I'm very intimidated to stay in good form and power through the wake. After all, I'm trying to give up wakeboarding because of some nasty falls with head injuries jumping W2W. Now, I'm going airborne on a narrow ski in lieu of a nice WIDE wakeboard.
My boat driver has made all attempts to smooth the wake out as much as possible but at the speed I'm going, 24 mph, and always 6-10 people in the boat, the wake is STILL ~ 2 1/2'.
Do you think if I suck it up and try to go faster that it will be "do-able" for me? Or will it be a lost cause with this particular boat. I just didn't think I was quiet ready to be running 30 mph when I'm just learning.
What Mastercraft is THE Ski boat of choice?
I LOVE my Mastercraft! - It's Never Too Late!
gotta run at least 30 mph and trim all the way down, move everyone as far toward to the bow as possible, you might want to think about a smaller crew.
if that don't work you might need to invest into a 197
That's what I'm trying to figure out...do I need to buy myself a smaller ski boat to get this accomplished. I don't want to exhaust myself trying to make this work if it will NEVER work. And yes, I know I need to lighten the load. Everybody is always so excited to jump in and go.
I LOVE my Mastercraft! - It's Never Too Late!
Unless you have pure slalom tug you need a minimum of 30 MPH to make your wake passable. speed up and go. My 13 year old (second year slaloming runs at 28mph). You should notice a big difference in wake at 30 and people moved to distribute the load evenly.
The previous reply had he right things to do. I will give you more suggestion that helped some of our newer skiers who had wake issues. Shorten up the rope to 28 or 32 off, this will get you in front of the rooster tail where the wake is not as tall and intimidating. I know 28 and 32 off is typically what a decent skier will do through a course and sounds intimidating, but you are not skiing a course right now so try it and see how it works for you.
Start with the easiest to modify - dump all weight possible. Depending upon your average weight that is quite a lot of ballast in bodies. 8 people *165 = 1320 lbs; that is more than the stock ballast of the X-15. So take just the min (driver, spotter and yourself), 3/4 tank of gas and dump other stuff not needed. The 215/X-15 has quite a bump even with no ballast but why stack the odds against you to start with.
IMO, wakeboarding at slower speeds with a helmet on would be less chances of injury than 30 MPH on a ski but then again I speak from no experience on the (water) skiing side of things. Take the wakeboard out at 19 MPH with longer rope and enjoy some one wake jumps, surface spins, lip slides etc. The water is much softer at 19 MPH. I think the problem people get into with wakeboarding is to expect the boat (speed) to make up for deficiencies (I speak from experience there) in skills thus taking harder falls.
All in all, whatever it takes to get out on the water and have fun rather than bad experiences. I'll look forward to reading how you progress on this.
I thought about shortening the rope but wasn't sure if that would make learning more difficult or not. Right now I'm working on the drill of cutting out to left 3 seconds, coasting 3 seconds, then across the wake to the other side, etc. I'm doing this very comfortable with the exception of being so relieved to still be right side up after crossing the tremendous wake. I find myself coming off my edge and bending my knees a ton and praying to stay up on the ski. I will definitely try shortening the rope and then MAYBE I won't have to go quiet SO fast these first early learning pull sessions.

Shortening is a good thing in this case. It prevents you from getting out to wide and creating a lot of speed into the wake. The (very good) school here locally starts new skiers with a much shorter line so that they do not develop fear of the wake due to high crossing speeds (and falls).

I didn't think about it that way but it does make perfect sense. I had in my head that it would make it more difficult for me. But, of course, I'm a perfectionist and I see myself eventually doing it like the world class skiers. LOL I always think BIG!!! LOL
I LOVE my Mastercraft! - It's Never Too Late!
MC Ski boats with great wakes:
1. Your speed: I think you need to keep the speed down to where you have it now in order to work on form... Speeding the boat will cause you to form bad habits... You have to be able to generate the speed across the wakes with your body and not let the boat do it for you.
2. Rope: Stay with 15' off - shortening the rope will only slow your learning process. You have to (have to have to) learn to generate the speed and proper on edge form via the longer line and slower speed. You can not learn to ski a slalom course at 28' off - believe me I TRIED
2. Generating the speed with your body means you're going to have to do the following:
. a. Get wider on the boat....
. b. Keep the ski on edge across BOTH wakes
3. 6-10 people on the boat at all times and on a big boat? Holy cArp... Get rid of the dead weight, go with 3 people max.
4. Lastly, you should be able to tell that you have a good (confident side) and an off (omg i'm going to wipe out) side. On the offside pull, make sure you are looking at the pylon the whole way across the wake. That will open your shoulders, put the ski on edge and you wont see the wake coming to be scared of it.

text: This is a quick follow-up to my Williamson question. I'm thinking of parking at either Onion Valley or Symmes Creek (Shepherd's Pass) trailhead, and then making a loop hike of it. Does anyone have any info on what it would be like to walk the mile or so that connects those two roads? I've been to the area once, and i remember it being basically grassland, but i have no idea if it's private land, fenced off, rampant rattlesnakes, or whatever. I'd hope to hitchhike the Onion Valley road to the trailhead, but if i couldn't, i could at least drop pack and make an easy-ish walk of it.

Ham and Sleeve Roll
Added Nov 26, 2012
by caje-une
Lodon, United Ki...
Because I've taken a couple of online Crafsty courses i.e. Starlet Suit Jacket, Classic Tailored shirt and Couture Dress, I now want all the sewing supplies that the course suggest we get.
I can't afford supplies so, I made myself a ham – following instructions found online – and I covered a tightly rolled magazine using some fabric I found when I delved into my fabric stash, to use as a sleeve roll.
Even with the hand stitching, (closing the ham and stitching the roll) it was all done in an evening. Packing the sawdust in was a pain! And it made a huge mess on my kitchen counter because I was so impatient.
Material Notes
Grey wool, Green print cotton, Calico lining, Pet bedding sawdust ( from Wilkinsons £1),
Scraps of fabric for packing, Toilet Roll to get the sawdust in, Something long and Narrow to pack the sawdust tightly, Determination.

The arm looked rested.
So did the legs.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning bounced back from a rough stretch before the bye, but the truth is, he wasn't all that different than he always has been.
He's always been pretty good, even if he hasn't been as well-regarded as others.
Manning led the Giants to a clean and thorough 38-10 thrashing of the Packers, to improve to 7-4 on the season.
He was 16-of-30 passing for 249 yards and three touchdowns, and showed some nerve (if not excellent judgement) by rushing for a first down early, and not sliding.
It was the kind of night he needed after a rough stretch before the bye. He used the time off to rest his arm (which, for the record, seemed fine) and clear his head by watching classing movies, such as "Road House." Like Patrick Swayze's character Dalton, who people constantly underestimate by saying "I thought you'd be bigger," Manning's had a harder time fighting perceptions than opposing defenses.
Manning threw his 200th career touchdown pass in the third quarter, passing Phil Simms for most in Giants franchise history. Simms can parse it however he chooses, the guy who spent his career being the little brother is elite.
And if he's not, it's the definition of the word that needs a second look.
Here are five more things we learned during Sunday Night Football:
1. As long as Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback, there's a ceiling on how often you want the ball out of his hands.
But there's a difference between not wanting to run and not being able to. The Packers are stuck on not being able to.
Having a philosophy is fine. But there will be nights when good teams can game-plan your strengths out of your hands, and you have to have a Plan B. The Packers Plan B is simply "throw some more" and that didn't get them anywhere.
2. Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell has interviewed for head coaching jobs before.
He will again, and the Giants better enjoy him while they can.
Fewell (who was the runner-up to Ron Rivera for the Carolina job two years ago, and might have another chance soon) had the Giants defense humming after the bye week, constantly throwing new looks at the Packers.
He opened the game in a three-safety set, with the return of Kenny Phillips. That Stevie Brown had played well in Phillips' absence made it reasonable, but they weren't through tweaking. At one point, they threw safety Will Hill out there with Phillips, Brown and Antrel Rolle.
Coupled with the sheer talent they have up front, that gives Fewell the ability to tinker, and he's proving he knows how to move the pieces around.
Phillips wasn't able to finish the game with a knee injury, so Fewell's ability to improvise will be tested again. He's up to it.
3. In the third quarter, the Giants dropped Rodgers for the 36th time this season.
That's the same number he absorbed last season, and there are five more games left to play.
The Packers line has been a hash all year, but losing right tackle Bryan Bulaga might have been a last-straw situation, putting multiple guys in bad positions.
In addition to getting some guys well, the Packers need to invest in blockers this offseason, which could add some balance to the offense as well as keeping Rodgers on his feet if he's going to throw on practically every play.
4. Maybe practice is overrated.
Ahmad Bradshaw, who basically shows up for work on Sunday, ran well Sunday night. Taking the screen pass 59 yards early was one thing, but the burst he showed on his 13-yard touchdown run made him look like a guy who was tired of losing short-yardage carries to Andre Brown.
Bradshaw's foot issues have obviously robbed him of some of his burst, but he can still get the job done, thanks in part to the fact they're willing to use him smartly.
5. Perhaps Packers coach Mike McCarthy was giving his kicker a chance to hit a home run, to regain some confidence.
But letting embattled Mason Crosby try his first one from 55 yards in a stadium not known for its consistent conditions wasn't the best bet to get him back on tack.
Naturally, Crosby missed.
He entered the game 11-of-18 on field goals this season, having missed five of his previous 10. He came back to hit a 28-yarder, but he's well off his career pace, and you wonder how many chances he'll get.
It also gave the Giants a short field, and they scored in a hurry to go up 14-7 in the first quarter, and they never looked back.

A singlewide mobile home was deemed by fire investigators to be a total loss and two of its occupants were being treated for burns.
THOMASVILLE | A singlewide mobile home was deemed by fire investigators to be a total loss and two of its occupants were being treated for burns Wednesday night after a fire in the Pilot community.
Mike Pugh, assistant chief with the Pilot Volunteer Fire Department, said firefighters were dispatched to the mobile home fire at 160 Wintbrook Road at 8:30 p.m.
Two people were at home and both were transported to a hospital for treatment, Pugh said. He said their conditions were unknown about 10 p.m. and Pugh was not sure of the relationship between the two people. Their identities were also unknown late Wednesday night.
Pugh confirmed both received burns. He said it appears the two people lost everything in the home.
The first firefighters on the scene, the assistant chief said, reported a fully involved fire upon arrival. Firefighters at about 10 p.m. were still doing fire suppression, he said.
The Davidson County Fire Marshal's Office was on the scene investigating the fire.
Davidson County Deputy Fire Marshal Danny Ward said the home is a total loss. He said he hadn't talked to any of the occupants of the home to determine how they were injured.
"We are beginning our investigation," Ward said about 10 p.m.
Ward was on the scene conducting interviews.
The Pilot Grove Fire Department was assisted by the Holly Grove and Triangle volunteer fire departments.

Archie Cavanaugh writes and sings all of his music working closely with his wife Melinda as his co-lyricist. His music is a combination of pop, smooth jazz and easy listening.
On his latest CD, Alaska Jazz, Archie went to his Tlingit roots of growing up in Kake, a Southeast Alaska village of Tlingit-speaking people, blending the Tlingit language on two of these pop jazz songs. When titling the CD Archie and Melinda decided on "Alaska Jazz" to emulate Alaskans as being unique and Alaska for being known as the last frontier. These songs are their own style of "Alaska Jazz".
Archie's CD "Love Birds," is an album of love songs. In the Tlingit culture only persons of opposite clans, i.e. Eagle/Raven, were permitted to marry thus the title Love Birds.
Black & White Raven was released in the early 1980s. Former Redbone band members, Tony Bellamy and Pete Depoe play on the CD along with sax player, Jim Pepper.

Yesterday we took Abbey in to our vet to discuss the behaviors we've noticed the past few months--all of which match the symptoms of SM. As I feared, her exam came up normal and we're now being referred to the University of Minnesota for a possible MRI. Our vet wasn't aware of SM, and was very interested in the articles I brought in (thanks to Karlin and the rest of this board). She's asked to see Abbey again after her MRI, which is great to have her so receptive and supportive of something she was unaware of.
We'll be getting a call within the next few days to set up an appointment and we'll go from there.

Reilly & Simoneschi Take Top Melges Honors In Miami
13 February 2011
Miami, Fla. - (2010 Feb. 13) - The final day of racing for the 23-strong Audi Melges 20 class and 11-boat Melges 24 fleet contingent has concluded revealing two division champs. Paul Reilly on Red Sky Sailing won the progressive Audi Melges 20 fleet and Riccardo Simoneschi aboard Audi celebrated top honors in the hotly contested Melges 24 class.
Conditions in Miami could not have been more perfect for the last day of racing at the 2011 Miami Winter Regattahosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club (CGSC). All six races scheduled were conducted - four on Saturday and Sunday delivered two longer courses. Spectators were glued to the action with a steady 12-15 knots of breeze pumping in from the North-Northeast, gorgeous sunshine and flat seas for the start.
The Audi Melges 20 fleet enjoyed one of the best days of racing on Biscayne Bay ever! Jason Carroll aboard Argo put his best moves forward for a satisfying 1-2 Sunday scoreline. Carroll, also a Melges 32 owner, raced the Audi Melges 20 for the first time this weekend. Carroll had an amazing first race challenging Class Chairman Marc Hollerbach onFu right at the finish. He strategically slid in from the right with less than a boat length of space, cruising across the line for first. The Fu crew were terribly disappointed, almost in complete disbelief settling for second. One, of two lady helmsman in the fleet, Mary Anne Ward on M&M Sailing Team placed third.
Event champion Paul Reilly had a less than fantastic ninth place result in the first race, but made up for it in race two with the ultimate win. He held off the likes of 2011 Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series leader Michael Kiss on Bacio, Hollerbach and Carroll. At one point Kiss led the race, as did Carroll. On the final upwind finish beat, Reilly found the all right gears putting him across the finish in first, Carroll and Kiss finished respectively.
Simoneschi stole the show in the Melges 24 class. His best opposition came from Cary Seigler on Rock Steady, Kristen Lane on Team Brickhouse 812, Guy Mossman on Battle Rhythm and Brian Porter on Full Throttle. It was a constant dogfight between these teams, each trying to reign in Simoneschi's lead. The final race of the day found Simoneschi launched with a massive lead taking the win and the regatta title.
Both the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association and U.S. Melges 24 Class Association (USMCA) would like to thank Coconut Grove Sailing Club, Miami Shake-A-Leg and Melges Performance Sailboats for an amazing event. PRO Taran Teague and staff were phenomenal. A very special thanks to the DeVos family as they enabled the class' to bring great photos, news and some live updates from the course via their protector tender Volpe.
And lastly, but most certainly not least, thank you to every team and competitor that traveled from near and far to compete. These events are nothing without you!
Full race reports and photo galleries have been posted online every day after racing. Check out the official class web sites for the Audi Melges 20 and Melges 24 as well as Melges.com, and be sure to friend the Audi Melges 20 and U.S. Melges 24 on Facebook.

No woman should die of cervical cancer. It is highly preventable with regular Pap tests, the human papillomavirus (HPV) test, and a healthcare provider�s monitoring and treatment of precancerous changes to the cells of a cervix. The HPV vaccines are effective tools in the prevention of cervical cancer.
Despite remarkable gains in the decrease of cervical cancer mortality, women with poor access to health care services and women from communities of color represent a disproportionate segment of cervical cancer incidence and mortality. The incidence rate of cervical cancer is 34 percent higher in African American women and 64 percent higher in Hispanic women than among non-Hispanic white women. African American women are nearly twice as likely to die from cervical cancer as white women). Rural-urban disparities have also persisted despite overall declines in cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates.
The racial and geographic health disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality largely reflect obstacles to receiving health care services related to cancer prevention, early detection, and access to treatment. For over 20 years, the federally funded National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program has been working to fight breast and cervical cancer by providing services to more than 4.3 million low-income, uninsured, and underserved women through its 68 programs. Services provided by the NBCCEDP include clinical breast exams, mammograms, Pap tests, pelvic exams, HPV tests, diagnostic testing for women whose screening outcome is abnormal, and referrals to treatment. The NBCCEDP is available to women who are between 40 and 64 years of age for breast cancer screening, women between 21 and 64 years of age for cervical cancer screening, and have an annual income that is at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level.
The Affordable Care Act will increase access to cervical cancer screening services through expanding insurance coverage and eliminating co-payments. Even with adequate health insurance, many women will continue to face substantial barriers in obtaining cervical cancer screening including geographic isolation, limited understanding of the need for prevention, lack of provider recommendation, inconvenient times to access services, and language barriers.
Inform your mother, daughter, sister, friend, and all women about the importance of routine screening and of the NBCCEDP so that no woman is denied these life-saving services. Breast and cervical cancer screenings and early detection save lives. For more information, contact the North Carolina Breast and Cervical Cancer Program at 919-707-5300.

"Winter's Tale" is so obviously a passion project, so much a labor of love for industry veteran Akiva Goldsman, that you'd like to be able to say it's a complete success. It isn't, but the parts that do succeed, especially the fervor between stars Colin Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay, provide such lush, emotional magic that unabashed romantics will be pleased.
Co-produced, written and directed by Goldsman, "Winter's Tale" has been drastically pared from Mark Helprin's nearly 700-page 1983 literary blockbuster. That novel is so complex and massive the film's story of love as a miracle that can save us all feels as much suggested by characters and themes of the original as it does an adaptation.
Though he's recently done directing on television's "The Fringe," Goldsman is best known as a screenwriter on projects such as "The Da Vinci Code," "Cinderella Man" and his Oscar-winning work on "A Beautiful Mind," credits that indicate he has never been shy about taking on emotional situations.

That tendency was given a terrible wrench when Goldsman's wife died suddenly of a heart attack while he was working on this script. When he was able to return to writing, Goldsman told The Times' Glenn Whipp, "the book suddenly went from something I loved to the only thing that mattered," and he decided to direct the material as well.
Before the romance fully takes hold, "Winter's Tale" lets us know that it's set in a kind of alternate-universe New York, a world much like our own but one where magic and the supernatural are factors and the clash between good and evil is fought out one life at a time.
Setting up this universe's rules is one of "Winter's Tale's" weaker points: There is so much to tell us that it's hard to take it all in. Suffice it to say that in this world helpful spirit animals magically appear, individuals have a shot at ascending to the heavens and becoming stars when they die, and the devil and his demons take human form, so much the better to stop miracles that are victories for the other side.
Love, it will come as no surprise, is the biggest wonder of all. The key piece of information "Winter's Tale" insists on is that "inside each of us is a miracle, a miracle intended for one person alone." The good forces in the universe try to aid this process, the evil ones to stop it in its tracks.
"Winter's Tale" visits this world in three years — 1895, 1916 and 2014 — and thanks to Caleb Deschanel's gorgeous cinematography, one of the film's strengths, it looks luminous and magical at all times.
After a brief prologue, we meet protagonist Peter Lake (Farrell) in 1916. He's a master thief on the run from former boss Pearly Soames, head of the Short Tails Gang, who is so unhappy with Peter going out on his own he wants to kill him.
Seriously overplayed by Russell Crowe (another of the film's problems), Pearly is not just a vengeful gangster, he's a full-fledged demon in league with the devil himself, bound and determined to keep those personal miracles from happening.
Making things difficult for Pearly is Athansor, an honest-to-god flying horse who happens to be Peter's helpful spirit guide. This gorgeous animal, played by an all-white Andalusian named Listo, elevates every scene he's in, both literally and metaphorically.
It's Athansor who leads Peter to Beverly Penn ("Downton Abbey's" Brown Findlay), a wealthy newspaper magnate's daughter who just happens to be a) drop-dead gorgeous and b) burning up with an advanced case of consumption that threatens to end her life at any moment. "What," Peter says to Athansor, "have you gotten me into?"
PHOTOS: Greatest box office flops
Say what you will about the rest of "Winter's Tale" (and people will), there is real magic between Brown Findlay and Farrell in their scenes together, which the film's carefully crafted atmospheric visuals do their best to capture and enhance. This is shamelessly romantic, ultra-sentimental material, so anyone yearning for something reminiscent of Lars von Trier or Quentin Tarantino had best look elsewhere.
Once "Winter's Tale's" convoluted plot leaves this couple and goes down other paths, much of the magic leaves with it. Though Eva Marie Saint has a lovely cameo, many of the other actors, including Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt as Beverly's father, don't seem to have a firm grasp on their parts or where they fit into this winding saga.
Because it is fearlessly sincere and not totally successful, "Winter's Tale" is easy to mock. But it is also hard not to admire its willingness to go all out in its quest for the grandest of romantic gestures. Magic like that is hard to come by, both on screen and off.
'Winter's Tale'

Eyelash extensions are a great way to get a glamorous eyelash look with little effort. Similar in theory to hair extensions, eyelash extensions are synthetic fibers that are attached to your existing lashes to make them look longer and fuller. This eliminates the very time-consuming step of curling your eyelashes and applying mascara every morning. Your eye makeup routine is reduced to just eyeshadow and liner – and all in all, you may not even need eyeliner at all. You can simply wake up looking beautiful. Lash extensions are a great idea for summer, beach vacations, cruises, or any situation where you want to look beautiful without having to worry about your mascara washing off. If you're considering going in for your first appointment, here's a little info on what to expect.
When you go to a salon to have professional eyelash extensions put on, expect to spend around an hour there. Normally your eyes will be gently taped closed while the aesthetician does her work. She will look for your shortest lashes and apply the extensions to those because they have the most room to grow and will help your extensions last longer in between visits. As human eyelashes have a very short life cycle of around 90 days, it is normal for lashes to occasionally fall off, including the ones where extensions have been applied. For this reason, touchups are recommended every few weeks with a complete re-do needed about every two or three months.

The process of applying eyelash extensions is painless and once they are in place, they will feel very natural. In order to extend the life of your eyelash extensions, it is best to avoid waterproof eye makeup, oily eye makeup removers and creams, and avoid steaming your face. For the first few hours you should not get the extensions wet as the glue may take some time to dry completely. Some technicians will recommend keeping them dry for a full 24 hours. After that, you can swim and shower as usual without causing any problems for the extensions. You will also be instructed not to curl your lashes but this is not a problem because you can elect to have extensions with a curl applied. In fact, there are many different lash extension options to choose from in varying lengths, curls, thicknesses, and even colors so you can get the exact look that you desire. It is okay to wear a non-waterproof mascara on top of eyelash extensions but most people find that it is not necessary. Many women also get their eyelashes tinted to help keep the roots of their lashes dark to complete their look.
If you are looking to streamline your eye makeup routine and give your eyelashes a fuller and longer appearance, eyelash extensions are an easy way to accomplish your goal. It gives you the same effect as false lashes but only needs to be applied once every few months. Depending on which style of lashes you get, the result can be so natural that no one will guess that your lashes have been enhanced.

After almost a year at sea and nearly 40,000 miles, the Volvo Race is a true endurance test
The 39,270-mile Volvo Ocean Race is the greatest test of human endurance in the guise of sport on the planet earth. It's life at the extreme with its own curiosities.
Starting the nine-month race in Spain is always fun. The Spanish know how to throw a good party, and the royalty-crowned pomp and circumstance befits such an epic voyage.
But starting from Alicante, Spain, means sailing across the Mediterranean Sea to Gibraltar, a boat-busting, upwind slog. The untested crews are just beginning a 5,000-mile marathon to South Africa, and by the end of the first day at least one boat invariably has been knocked out of the race — before getting started.
The Capetown stop is carved in stone. After three weeks of tactical grinding, the boats have to stop because they are out of food. The crews are literally wasting away. The boats have to get around Africa and into the Southern Ocean, and Capetown guards the ocean gate.
After Capetown, the race used to sail southeast to Australia or New Zealand. This last race established new game rules. Build a boat and put together a $75 million syndicate with crews. Then find yourself a city willing to fork over $25 million for the stopover infrastructure. That's what it takes to bring the race to your country.
Following the money, the racers sailed north from Capetown to Abu Dhabi for Leg 2. There is nothing inherently wrong with this global marketing strategy, other than the fact that the Indian Ocean is crawling with pirates.
Leg 2 featured an unmarked freighter strung with barbed wire rendezvousing with the fleet at a secret island near Mali, where the boats and crews were transported a thousand miles north to a spot off the Sharajah coast. There the multi-million-dollar boats were off-loaded for the second part of the leg, a 200-mile run to Abu Dhabi. No one there knows jack about sailing, but Arab money put on a grand spectacle with Cold Play performing for sailors in shorts surrounded by Bedouin millionaires in flowing robes.
The finish for Leg 7 to Lisbon found the fleet sailing miles and miles up the Tagus River in the dark against an out-going current in squirrelly winds. At times, the boats were sailing backwards. It would have been comical if not for the fact that it allowed Telefónica to catch up to Camper after the Australians had sailed 3,400 miles across the Atlantic ahead of their Spanish rival. The river drift-a-thon negated 11 days of tactically difficult and death-defying racing.
Finally, the last two legs, from Lisbon to Lorient and Lorient to Galway, were essentially long, offshore, in-port races. But they were scored the same as any other leg. The winner of the 500-mile leg from France to Ireland received the same points as the winner of the 5,000-mile leg from China to Australia. That's crazy. The points system should reflect the difference in each leg, awarding fewer points for the shorter legs at the end.
Looking Ahead
The next Volvo Ocean Race will feature 65-foot one-designs. The goal is to level the playing field and make it cheaper for teams to field an entry. Race organizers would love to see a lot more than six boats competing. The more the merrier.
For the same reason, organizers are trying to forge financial partnerships with tennis, golf and Formula One racing. The goal is to make the race the most popular sporting event in the world. With nine months to sell many products at exotic stops around the globe, there's gobs of money to be made by everyone under the race's financial umbrella.
People ask me why the race doesn't stop in Annapolis any more. I tell them that if we ever hope to see the Volvos in the Chesapeake again, we need to put together a team.
So here's an idea. The Volvo Ocean Race should team up with the NFL. Football fans like thrilling, action-packed extreme sport, and sailing is all about balls-to-the wall excitement and ruggedly handsome men in colorful sexy outfits.
If the Baltimore Ravens were to team up with Under Armour to outfit a crew of professional sailors, it would be a match made in heaven.
Can you imagine a sleek purple Volvo boat with a giant raven on the sail, cruising around the world promoting American football?
The stopover in Baltimore and Annapolis would draw a million spectators, all buying paraphernalia and filling hotels and restaurants for two weeks. Once the NFL tested the waters, the next race would have a team from Miami or New York.
The Giants may have won the Super Bowl, but can they beat a Ravens team in a sailboat race around the world?

All the feels: winter's new textures
Don't you love the feeling of running your fingertips over soft wool or cashmere knits? How about fluffy feathers or the touch of suede? Winter offers up an amazing range of textures when it comes to our fashion.
Mix up the texture of your outfit from head to toe, whether it's in stitch detail, jacquard fabric or metal hardware. You won't just catch feelings from texture this season – you'll definitely catch a few appreciative eyes running over your look.
Among all the lovely winter texture we find on our clothes and accessories, a trending hue to keep an eye out for is red. I'm no fan of colour, however there's something about red that appeals to me. The closest I've got yet to adding red to my wardrobe has been the internal lining of my black handbag! I'm vowing to break bad habits this winter by adding a touch of red this season along with my favourite textured pieces.
Feathers, jacquard and gold hardware

Why See Pixies?
Pixies Return To The Stage!
Pixies are back and more energized than ever. Led by Black Francis (Frank Blank on his solo ventures), Pixies can lay claim to being one of the most important American bands of the past 30 years. A gloriously messy assault on the senses, Black's scattershot and often scatological lyrics were underpinned by Joey Santiago's surf rock guitar and Kim Deal's eternal bass lines to masterful effect. Paving the way for the grunge scene which was to follow, their crowning glory came with 1989's Doolittle, which included the classics 'Here Comes Your Man', 'Debaser' and 'Gouge Away'.
The band's relationships are known for being infamously tempestuous, leading to a permanent split in 1993. While Kim Deal has chosen to continue pursuing her career with The Breeders, the other three members are now firmly back together and making music, with bassist Paz Lenchantin joining them for their tours.
The year 2014 marked the release of their first full length studio album since 1991's Trompe Le Monde. Entitled Indie Cindy, it was a typically gonzo mesh of textures and tempos, from the hazy 'Greens and Blues', to the surreal and cacophonous 'Bagboy' and the crunching 'Blue Eyed Hexe', which is the closest they've come to sounding like AC/DC (in a good way).

MLB Threatens Guy Who Made A Cool iPhone App For Baseball Fans
from the there's-thick-headed-and-then-there's-mlb dept
MLB has its own baseball app for the iPhone, which costs $5, that shows scores and highlights -- but this free app doesn't compete with that one. Instead, it's basically a baseball encyclopedia, allowing fans to look up all sorts of interesting historical stats and information. In other words, it's the sort of thing that helps fans feel even more connected to the game. So what does MLB do? It complains that the guy has the actual logos of Major League teams in the app. MLB argues that this is trademark infringement, but that's questionable. This is helping to promote those major league teams, not harm or dilute their brand in any way.

Financial District, San Francisco Travel Guide
Financial District Summary
- Easy access to public transportation and taxis; three BART stations along Market Street
- Financial district borders the Embarcadero and Ferry Building, both popular tourist sites
- $8 to $10 ride from San Francisco International Airport
- Safe (though vagrancy and panhandling are common, as throughout San Francisco)
- Some of the city's tallest buildings, offering breathtaking views of the city and San Francisco Bay
- A few notable dining options, and plenty of ideal places for a quick lunch
- Relatively few bars in the area, and they typically close by midnight; nightlife is minimal during the week, dead on the weekends
- Far from many popular tourist attractions, like Golden Gate Bridge and Park, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Presidio -- though that's true of most of San Francisco's hotel-heavy neighborhoods
- Street parking is difficult if not impossible; hotel parking is expensive.
What It's Like
Full of well-tailored suits and skyscrapers, the Financial District isn't a tourist destination itself -- except perhaps for the landmark Transamerica Building -- but it's wedged between downtown San Francisco and the waterfront, and borders an array of more popular spots, including the Embarcadero, Chinatown, Union Square, and Market Street. It's about as far from Golden Gate Bridge and Park as you can get, however, but that's true of most of San Francisco's hotel-heavy areas. On weekends and weekday evenings the Financial District is all but dead.
Where To Stay
As its name might suggest, the Financial District targets business travelers -- its range of hotels reflects this. Stay in the northwest corner for closest proximity to North Beach, San Francisco's Little Itlay, and the home of popular tourist attraction City Lights Bookstore. Stay anywhere on the western edge for proximity to the sights and smells of Chinatown. Stay in the southwest corner for closest proximity to Union Square and Market Street, a main artery of the city. Stay on the eastern edge to be near the Embarcadero and the Ferry building.

Hagel orders review of US defense strategy
In response to the budget cuts that took effect March 1, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a re-evaluation of the underpinnings of the defense strategy that President Barack Obama announced 14 months ago.
Hagel spokesman George Little said Monday that the new defense chief wants to see the results by May 31.
Hagel's predecessor, Leon Panetta, had said repeatedly that if the forced budget cuts took effect the administration would have to redo its defense strategy. Little said Hagel's review will take that 2011 strategy as the "point of departure," and it will examine whether the assumptions underlying it are valid in light of the budget crisis.
The Pentagon faces the deepest cuts in spending in decades and has fewer protectors of the military in Congress.

It was while working with clients that I came to a fuller realization on a problem some, perhaps more than some, of my clients were having dealing with, in coming to see an alternative health professional for their life issues.
As I incorporate counselling with my Reiki work, I came to see that some clients were dealing not only with their 'issues' within a session but also theirs and others perceptions of the sessions.
These included their belief that they should be able to solve their own 'problems' and if they couldn't and needed 'help' they somehow felt ...less than...or felt they were being perceived as weak or less than others. These so called 'others' were perceived as 'having their act together' and didn't need this help. Because of this perception some clients did not want to tell anyone they were seeking help for their life challenges . Yet others who didn't have a problem found their family or friends asking if they were 'still' going for help and how long did they need this help for? Reasonable enough questions yet felt or interpreted by my clients to be another way of saying 'Why can't you sort out your own problems yourself ? or You STILL have this issue?
I came to see how courageous my clients are who come to me , open up their heart, mind and soul willingly to better their mental wellness and with that their lives. For they know something that their family and friends along with many members of our community haven't discovered yet that mental health is as important (and I believe even more important) as our physical health.
Today there are not many who would have a problem with someone going to see their doctor for their physical health and well being. Many people go to the gym to keep physically fit with some people employing the services of a personal trainer for their body's well being.
Going to an alternate health professional, counsellor or psychologist is about keeping the most important part of ourselves fit and healthey , and that is our mind.
When our society comes to accepting mental wellness as part of our bodies maintenance program , and in fact the most important part, we will have progressed enormously as a society.
I am constantly amazed that in this so called modern era we see mental issues as a weakness and not as another injury to our body. We often put our mind under great stress, creating worries and anxieties and then call someone who seeks a wellness program to heal these injuries on this overloaded mind....insanity. Well I say that is insanity.....
We are aware now to feed our body well, to give it fresh air and exercise.
Yet the part of our body that works the hardest we feed....unhealthy thoughts and don't give it any new and fresh, healthy thoughts. Let alone good thought exercises.
And when someone seeks out to learn how to feed and exercise their mind , for it to be healthy others see it as a weakness. Yet what a strength it truly is for they are at the forefront of mind/body well ness and well being.
I think it is time to rethink Mental Health and Well Being.
A healthy mind needs to be feed well and exercised well.
If we become unwell we do not hesitate to see a doctor and we would never consider operating on ourselves. Yet isn't that exactly what we are doing if we are in a mentally distressed state believing we should be our own doctor.
The mind that is in dis-ease is not the mind that is able to heal the dis-ease. There are many levels of dis-ease and as in any illness you will not always need to seek a professional. If you have a cold or a slight cut on your finger you may not go to the doctors for you will bandage your own finger and in time get over your cold. However for a broken arm or any serious illness you would usually definitely see a doctor to help mend your arm and seek to resolve your illness.
The illness of the mind through serious forms of distress and dis-ease could and I believe should be viewed similarly,an issue that could be better resolved with the help of a professional.
Just as you would not sew up a deep gash to your body, why leave any dis-ease of the mind unattended?
I think it is time to rethink Mental Health and Well Being. To make it what it should be , truly is...Looking after the Health of your Mind as well as you Body.

Reviewed By Jeff B (YUKON, OK) Reviewed for a 2000 Chevy Corvette —4/1/2016 10:49 AM
I am very pleased with the product. A noticeable difference in sound and torque from my stock 2000 Corvette. It was a little difficult to install and the instructions could have been a tad more clear, but all in all i like it.
