Before, during, and hopefully after account of a Great Divide Route journey in the summer of 2010.
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Day 15: Condon to Seeley Lake
Average: 11.5 mph
Distance: 26.57 mi
Finally, a reasonably priced breakfast! We ate across the Hwy at Swan Valley Cafe and overheard some other local talking about waking up and finding a black bear in her backyard. After our meal, we had some baking soda beverages to help dissipate the lactic acid in our sore leg muscles. It tasted awful, but I have to say that I felt no burning in my quads on our ride today. "Put me in Coach! I've got fresh legs!"
Instead of following the route, we decided to book it down Hwy 83 to Seeley Lake--BAD IDEA. There's little to no shoulder, and it's a very busy road. We made KungPao noodles for lunch at Summit Lake, which was a scenic pull off for folks traveling on Hwy 83. We were asked a million times by tourists where we were riding to. I'm going to start making up stories about where we're going and where we've been. Kind of like Mary does to strangers she rides the ski lifts with...
We rolled into Seeley Lake around 3 PM and set up camp at Big Larch campground. It's very reasonably priced and has great big campsites (site #43 was a good pick for us). We have a bounce box waiting here, but by the time we got to to post office, it was closed--they close at 4 PM. Hmmf. We had to stop at a bank and get cash. We're finding that not many campgrounds take credit card.
Peter and Lauren from California showed up and asked to share a campsite with us. They're biking across the country to Maine. We had a feast--grilled pork chops, portabello mushrooms, onions, red peppers, and a wild rice mix. Plus, we had marshmallows, chocolate, and bananas for dessert!

Mufaro + Maya
Hello! Here today with some photos of my lovely friends Maya and Mufaro.
I shared some photos of Maya a few months ago, which you can check out here. Beyond her gorgeous photographic work, Maya also founded and operates bistara, a freelance marketplace designed to empower the leaders of tomorrow's creative industry. Check out bistara if you're a college freelancer, if you're looking to hire creative talent for your company or project, or if you're just a human with an appreciation for beautiful things and cool people.
Mufaro is an exceedingly talented songwriter, music healer and singer. Her songs are beautiful, thoughtful and human. Listen to her on repeat here; her music makes me swoon.
Nothing but rampant love, adoration and respect for both of these badass girls. We had a spontaneous shoot around the Fens at golden hour and despite my complete inability to cope with winter cold, these two made it fun. Please- take some time, and get inspired by Mufaro and Maya's work. I've said it before, but empathic and creative work is more important than ever. Support the people and groups that produce beauty, and generate compassion.
Finally, if you're interested in collaborating with me (or meeting any of the people featured here), contact me! I'm stateside for the next few months (give or take) before I move away (more or less) permanently, and would love to work together while I'm here.

The International Monetary Fund strongly supports the European Central Bank`s recent proposal to increase provision requirements for new non-performing loans, IMF European Department chief Poul Thomsen said on Friday.
The ECB recently proposed requiring lenders to increase loan loss provisions on newly classified non-performing, unsecured loans to 100 percent over two years. For secured loans, provisions would need to rise to 100 percent over seven years.

I haven't been seriously training (keep in mind, my serious, may not be YOUR serious) since November. Due to finances, holidays and my husband interviewing/getting/starting a new job – I've put regular training on the back burner.
Yes, I have kept up with my running at least three times a week. I continue to take my triathlon swim clinic class and very occasionally, I'd hop on the spin bike at my Y. I admit it, I'm an outdoor person when it comes to the bike. Its almost as bad as the dreadmill, hopping on an indoor spin bike.
But now its February and my first triathlon is four months away. Time to get focused. This means penciling in my workouts around my work schedule. That I have at least a full meal with me at all times. It means stocking up on Power Bars, Shot Bloks, Lara and Clif Bars (as well as Chobani yogurts, string cheese, strawberry/banana smoothies, cherry tomatoes and blueberries – a few of my favorite things) and that my gym bag is always packed and ready to go (especially with the food).
I've already started developing an attachment to a particular water bottle, t-shirt, pair of socks and treadmill (its not superstition…just a quirk).
I'm not fast.
My gear is inexpensive and/or second hand.
I'm lost on a lot of the lingo.
But I find joy in that I am able to do something, I never pictured myself doing.

Department of Gender Studies, office: room 513 (Zrinyi 14), email@example.com
Seminar Meeting Time: Thursdays, 9-10:40
Seminar Room: Z412
Course Description and Learning Goals:
This course investigates "the human" as an idea, as an analytical category, which has had profound impact on the modern era. As a category developed in its modern form during the Enlightenment, it has served as the basis of our conception of political and social rights; it has also defined the relationship people have to that/those which fall outside of its boundaries (such as animals, technology, the environment, etc.). The course takes an historical approach to ask the following central question: Out of what social and political relations did our modern concept of the human develop? To this end, we will look at an interdisciplinary array of materials – historical, philosophical, and scientific – to understand how and why people were defined as a "species" through early Enlightenment taxonomies, as well as through 19th century debates about Darwin's theory of evolution. We will see the way the human has never been a stable biological category, but rather has functioned as a vehicle for asserting a vision of the social order, political rights and ethics since the dawn of the modern period.
The course will focus on particular borders of the human, specifically the border separating it from the animal and, in less detail, technology. In doing so, we will look at historical motivations and practices through which the human was differentiated from the ape or the "freak", connecting this history to the power relations which were being shaped by a particular definition of the human, such as colonial relations and race relations. And we will consider these two borders in particular in relation to the posthumanist literature (Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti) who argue that the boundary between human-machine-animal should be understood in new ways and that we must rethink our philosophical paradigms of humanism.
By the end of the course, students should be able to explicate the main political debates out of which the human as an idea developed and key terms in the post-humanist, feminist critique. They should be able to identify the difference between the human as presumed to be a biological, universal "fact" and the human as a socio-historically specific idea produced out of Enlightenment shifts in governing. Students must also be able to demonstrate an ability to independently identify and analyze other contemporary or historical debates/issues (of their choice) relevant to the concept of the human (e.g. debates around technology, cloning, science, animal rights, etc.) through discussion of particular topics (presented to them in take-home essay questions). Finally, students will gain experience doing a "reading" of particular (written and visual) texts; such work will involve demonstrating an understanding of another's central argument(s) and offering critical interventions and, or extending the argument with which they are engaging. These skills will be demonstrated through seminar discussions, oral presentations, as well as independent through independent written analysis.

text: Year 3 had an absolutely amazing STEM Challenge Week. We were challenged to build a bridge which was both strong and light in weight. We had lots of fun exploring different types of bridges and experimenting with different materials and shapes to create strong structures. We worked very well in teams to produce outstanding structures. We gave our bridges a theme and decorated them to reflect this and then tested their strength using weights. We were also lucky enough to take part in a Drone session where we used simple algorithms to program drones to perform simple stunts.

Nutrition and Dietetics
Course summary
Nutritionists who hold a BSc advise and train individuals, groups and organisations with regard to nutritional issues of all kinds. They provide nutritional therapy, advice, education and information.
Their work is scientifically based and they collaborate with scientists from other disciplines. Their clients include people of all ages and from all sectors of the population with a wide variety of different needs. The focus of their work, however, is on advising people who are ill. Nutrition is a wide-ranging and complex field and one that is constantly developing as a result of new scientific findings. Nutritionists need to have comprehensive skills in many different areas in order to acquire sound nutritional expertise. For example, they need to be skilled in communication, medicine, scientific research, psychology, food science, kitchen technology, management science, health promotion and disease prevention.
Giving advice to patients involves consideration of their goals, expectations, experiences, apprehensions and personal situations in order to successfully introduce and support change processes in their nutritional behaviour. Here, nutritionists use a variety of client-oriented approaches when giving advice. They use simple language and teaching tools to present complex information to clients in a way that makes it easy for them to understand and put it into practice. Nutritionists inform the general public about the latest findings in nutritional science and thereby make an important contribution to disease prevention and holistic health promotion.

Nutritionists have a considerable degree of autonomy when carrying out their activities. Their work is based on scientific findings, combined with strong methodological, technical, communication and social skills as well as a high level of self-reliance.
The fields in which they work include the following:
Nutritional therapy
Using targeted nutritional therapy measures to positively influence diseases, support medical therapies, relieve symptoms and minimise nutrition-dependent risk factors.
Nutritional advice
Working with clients to seek solutions to existing nutrition-related problems or problems putting healthy nutrition into practice, taking clients' personalities and living conditions into consideration.

I am a teacher. Can I claim a tax deduction for newspapers that I purchase to use in the classroom?
1 answer
If the main reason for the purchase of the newspapers is for their use in the course of teaching and that use can be clearly demonstrated, then the work-related portion of the cost may be tax deductible. See Taxation Ruling 95/14 paragraph 168.
I hope this helps

So I had big plans on catching up on things after the internet went out a few weekends ago. Then life happened. Power cuts, work (I relief teach), sickness etc...
So I've decided to post when I can. I know I keep changing my mind and stuff and I apologise for that. I hope to post regularly but I'm not guaranteeing every week.
I'll try to schedule posts in advance when I can. I'll still be sticking to a theme for each day which will be:
Mon: Domestic - anything to do with the home. Could be recipes, DIYs, garden, homemaking etc.
Tues: Travel - posts about places I've been.
Wed: Random - posts that don't fit into other categories.
Thurs: 52 Weeks of Memories photo challenge.
Fri: Geeky - anything geek related. Board games, geeky shows, computer games, geeky books etc
Weekends - rants. If I feel I need a good rant about something it'll be posted on the weekend. Probably not as often as others.
So, a recap. No guarantees of a post every day. Or even every week. Life happens so I'll post when I can. I hope to get ahead at times but I can almost guarantee I'll get behind too. We'll see what happens :)

I wasn't in a big hurry to do this because the person I was gifting went on holiday before I could reveal myself, and the final package from the person who was gifting me still hasn't arrived (flipping Royal Mail, grumble, grumble…).
So, I was sending lovely things to Sooze in NYC.
I'm sitting out SP5 but for those that want, sign up is over here (by the 29th of May).
In happier news, my "Nothin' but a T-shirt" now has a back!
I always block stocking stitch "wrong side up" so the edges don't curl under, but rather curl over. I think it looks like one of those animal pelts, all stretched out and drying.
I also have a second toe for my Go Team! socks, but since it looks just the same as the first toe I didn't think there was much point in taking a picture.
I'm on the fourth pattern repeat of Martha, but it's killing my left arm. It's probably because I'm incredibly tense about my tension!
Anyway, hopefully my next post will bring happier news on the secret pal parcel front (although this one has gone a lot better than SP3, where my original pal fell off the face of the Earth) and also some photo-worthy progress on socks, Martha and Nothin'.

Evaluation of a Local District Developed Spelling Program Based on Fifty Years of Research.
Ross, George H.; Middleton, Mildred
The Cedar Rapids Community School District used the CIPP (context, input, process, and product) evaluation model to improve its spelling program. During the CIPP model's final stage of product evaluation, the district used test data to decide whether the revised spelling program maintained spelling ability and provided for additional growth. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) spelling subtest results from fall 1975 (before program implementation) were compared to fall 1977 results (after implementation). The spring 1977 and spring 1979 results of district developed spelling tests were also compared. These district tests were in two formats--editing/multiple choice and list/dictation. The ITBS results indicated increases in spelling scores for all grades. Comparison of the 1977 and 1979 district spelling tests in the editing formats showed maintenance for grades two through four and growth in grades five through ten. The tests in the list/dictation format showed maintenance for grades two through eight and growth in grades nine and ten. (A copy of the teacher-administrator management guide to the district's spelling program is appended.) (RL)

immonkey in the IMGrind Community posted a pretty sick infographic from SEOBook.com that I felt was worth sharing on the blog. I learned a lot from Aaron Wall's SEO Book back in the day and always had a shitload of respect for him. I personally increased traffic from my pro wrestling website from 500 unique hits to over 20,000 unique hits a day after reading his material. He's one of the people in this industry that really "get it" and has been ahead of his time (he said in '07 SEO was going to move towards social media).
They've got some other SEO infographics that are also worth checking out.

Review for Held Against You by Season Vining ( 4 out 5 must reads)
This was pretty good, and I really liked Kat. I always like when there are smart female characters in books, and I especially love nerdy tech types, so I really enjoyed Kat's character. I also liked the whole on the run scenario, but I felt like Kat wasn't quite so smart with some of her decisions relating to her situation, and some of the actions she chose while she's on the run, but the story kept me interested till the end, and I wanted to keep on reading till I finished. The chemistry between Kat and the bounty hunter was excellent, and Kat's humor definitely adds to my enjoyment of this book; helps make it not quite so heavy. This book definitely took a different turn then I was expecting, but the way it ended up, I thought, was a good way to go for the story; although I do wish some more people got their comeuppance! This book was romance with an edge, and I think it's unexpected. A great read!

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-1781) Process handles appear to be leaking in queries using an IN clause during concurrent DB access
|Wed, 17 Oct 2007 09:36:50 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1781?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12535490 ] Thomas Nielsen commented on DERBY-1781: --------------------------------------- Running the repro a few more times in sequence show that the NetworkServer is well behaved and is actually reusing the DRDAConnThreads. > Process handles appear to be leaking in queries using an IN clause during concurrent DB access > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1781 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1781 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1 > Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.5.0_05 > Reporter: Mark Hellkamp > Attachments: SqlStressTest.java > > > We are currently using Derby embedded in our web application running on Windows. When processing multiple concurrent requests we have noticed that the Java process handle count continues to increase until the machine becomes unresponsive. I was able to isolate the problem to Derby by running the database in network mode in another process. Further investigation showed that the problem could be reproduced using a select statement that has an IN clause with multiple entries on the primary key column. Spawning multiple threads running the same query causes the handle count to increase considerably on the Derby process. The problem occurs in version 10.1.3.1 and 10.2.1.1 (even worse) in both embedded and network mode. The attached test program duplicates the problem. Start Derby in network mode (using startNetworkServer.bat) and run the enclosed test program. The handle count on the Derby process will increase and never go down short of restarting Derby. Using 10.2.1.1 the handle count for the Derby process goes somewhere between 1400-1500 with just two threads in my environment. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

You can now recycle your old electricals with us.
If you're buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free
Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.
Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.
We can help
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items.
Once you have purchased your new electrical item from us, please bring your old item into our shop and we will recycle it. Address:
Stangers Cook Shop
101 St Georges Terrace, Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE22DN 0191 2818563.
To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.

A couple days ago, USC quarterback Mark Sanchez decided to forgo a fifth season at USC to enter the 2009 NFL draft. In the same press conference, USC head coach Pete Carroll criticized Sanchez for coming out, saying that he was, "Going against the grain," and that he and Sanchez did not see eye to eye on this decision. Pete Carroll: what the hell, man? Sanchez busted his ass for you for four seasons, he played outstanding this year, and now you are going to stab him in the back like that? As Carroll walked off the stage, he barely even acknowledged Sanchez, giving him a quick handshake before rushing away.
Sanchez graduates from USC this spring and made a very smart and economically sound decision to go to the NFL. Earlier this month, Sanchez sent in his credentials to the NFL to see where he could possibly go in the NFL draft. The NFL projected Sanchez as a first round pick, some even see Sanchez going as high as number 1 or number 3 overall. I agree with Sanchez'z decision, he is getting a degree from an outstanding school so he isn't coming out early academically and after the fantastic season he had, his stock is higher than ever. Carroll should not only support his former quarterback, but respect his decision in his future. Not every USC quarterback can be like golden boy Matt Leinart and stay elligable for college football by taking a ballroom dancing course.
Sportswriter Woody Paige said it best about Carroll on Around the Horn today: "Carroll showed his true colors at that press conference." Even if you don't agree with what he did, Carroll, he's a 22-year-old man, not your son, so respect his decision. I wish Sanchez the best of luck and support him in his decision to enter the NFL draft.


text: In this talk I will present direct numerical simulations of inhomogeneous reduced magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) turbulence between the Sun and the Alfven critical point. These are the first such simulations that take into account the solar-wind outflow velocity and the radial inhomogeneity of the background solar wind without approximating the nonlinear terms in the governing equations. Our simulation domain is a narrow magnetic flux tube with a square cross section centered on a radial magnetic field line. RMHD turbulence is driven by outward-propagating Alfven waves (z^+ fluctuations) launched from the Sun, which undergo partial non-WKB reflection to produce sunward-propagating Alfven waves (z^- fluctuations). Nonlinear interactions between z^+ and z^- then cause fluctuation energy to cascade from large scales to small scales and dissipate. The simulations address the radial dependence of turbulence spectral slopes, energy cascade rates as well as other important turbulence characteristics in the context of existing phenomenological models.

Who Will Be Brendan Eich?
I hold unpopular opinions. We all do, though some of us more than others, apparently. If you look at Brendan Eich, the brief CEO of the Mozilla Project, you see some curious things. He's been with Mozilla since the beginning, and was apparently a very respected CTO for quite a while. But when someone discovered that he'd once donated to the Prop 8 Campaign in California, the word spread virally. Even with his assurances that he didn't run a company convergent with his personal opinions, he was out in well under a week.
So that makes me wonder… what have I written on this blog, or on Facebook, or what political sign in my yard will eventually end my career? I can't guarantee that it will end that way, obviously. Tomorrow is different, today is the only thing I can really work. But still, there's a trail of yesterday that I have to say is mine.
I've often said that having this blog, even as small as it is, will likely stop someone from offering me a job in the future. There's a possibility it already happened… and I'm okay with that. If having an opinion makes me unpopular in some areas, I have to live with that, since having an opinion and being able to voice it is part of what makes this country so great.
But still, it's chilling to see the comments from people on both sides. Measured people will show some discomfort across the spectrum of the Internet, and comments will rapidly fill in from one side… less so from another. Can an opinion so widely held (by somewhere around 50% of the population in most polls) is now a reason for not just exclusion, but for expedient dismissal.
Several years ago, my wife and I were at a tradeshow for her promotional business. A person came up and asked if we could help him with items for his business, a winery that has a suggestive name and markets innuendo. I've since seen the winery and its promotional items in a lot of places… it would have been a lucrative contract. But we politely declined the business and referred him elsewhere, because we didn't feel that our corporate image or brand would support a customer like that.
Now photographers and cake makers are being put out of business for similar reasons. You can argue that some opinions are worse than others, and I'd agree. But are things truly at a point where we'll begin to brand people for a belief? If so, I mourn for what we were. And I wonder what will cause them to come for me?

My husband is still working on the garden shed.
Now that the kids' dance classes have started
again (he does the pick-up 3x a week because it's
on his way home) most of the work has to be
done during the weekend.
All the wood has been painted twice.
He is repairing and painting the windows
and the double door for the moment.
Do you see the two galvanised planters?
They are dolly tubs and I bought them
for his birthday. I like the matching colours of
the shed and the tubs and they will really
look great next spring with some nice plants.
The part where we store the wood still needs
a new roof. We hope the work will be finished
by the end of October, before it's getting too
cold to work in the garden. We'll see.

Pokemon GO re-imagines one of the most iconic parts of traditional Pokemon games: catching Pokemon in the wild. However, gamers are still waiting to find out when certain rare and legendary Pokemon will be added to the list of creatures they can capture. Some new information from data miners reveals that gamers probably still have a long time to wait for the rare Pokemon Ditto.
Following a talk with Niantic Labs CEO John Hanke, some gamers believed that Ditto could finally be coming to Pokemon GO in its next update. Unfortunately, that's now been proven to not be the case. Data miners have gone to work on the latest update for the game, scouring for any reference to Ditto, and have come up empty. While other Pokemon GO easter eggs have included small amounts of code indicating their existence, like the trick to control Eevee's evolution, no such data can be found hinting at a way to find, capture, or otherwise unlock Ditto.
The developers behind Pokemon GO have previously stated that more generations of Pokemon are on their way, but so far, Niantic hasn't added a way to capture Ditto or the legendary Pokemon from the first generation of games. The most likely reason why there aren't any easter eggs in Pokemon GO indicating Ditto's accessibility is that its Transform move may still be a work in progress. Since there aren't any player battles in Pokemon GO yet, Ditto would only be able to use Transform in Pokemon Gym battles. However, that mechanic could be posing a difficult balancing problem for Niantic.
In Pokemon GO gym battles, players have to command their attacking Pokemon to repeatedly use a primary attack in order to charge up their more powerful secondary attack. Based on this system, Ditto would either need to be able to immediately use Transform as a primary attack (which could be considered unfair) or it would have to use a standard attack a certain number of times in order to be able to use Transform. In the latter scenario, there's a strong chance that Ditto could faint prior to ever getting a chance to use Transform, so Niantic could be trying to find a way to work Ditto into the game's current battle system.
Many gamers have been waiting for a chance to capture Ditto since Pokemon GO released, but it seems that another rumor of a way to capture Ditto in Pokemon GO has been squashed. Pokemon GO's popularity has dramatically decreased recently, in part due to a lack of features and no way to capture the most-coveted Pokemon from the first generation of games. Niantic has a lot of work to do to regain regular players of Pokemon GO, but it doesn't look like releasing Ditto is part of that plan right now.
Pokemon GO is out now for Android and iOS mobile devices.

As someone who is prone to sinus and tension headaches but also has an aversion to taking pills (for minor aliments anyway) I was thrilled to discover the Neti Pot! I have been using it for several years now, I bought it out of desperation when my indoor allergies were threatening to ruin my vacation. You can find them at most drugstores, I've seen them in plastic and ceramic. I have the plastic one because I like to take it with me when I travel.
It comes with tiny packets of a sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate that you dissolve with distilled water (DO NOT use tap water!). Once dissolved you tip your head to one side, place the tip of the neti pot up to one nostril and gently tip the pot to start the flow of water. It may take a moment before it starts to flow out of your other nostril, you can slowly move your head slightly up, down or forward to get the ideal position. Pour about half one way, then gently blow your nose and repeat on the other side. Blow again very gently and you are done. Now, for those of you having horrible memories of pool water going up your nose and the burning pain for a few moments afterwards you have nothing to worry about this doesn't feel anything like that. All you may feel is a slight temperature difference, I use room temperature water which tends to be cooler then body temp so it feels a little cool going through my sinuses but no pain. It is personal preference how often you choose to do a sinus rinse, I like to do it a max of twice a day if I am really suffering, but usually once is enough for a sinus headache. Colds and allergies take longer. Some do it on a daily basis but I generally prefer to leave my body to do it's own thing and try not to interfere unless I really feel it's needed.
Another, and simpler, headache remedy I often use in conjunction with my neti pot is peppermint essential oil. I like to soak a washcloth with cool water, wring out, and place a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil on the cloth and lay it over my forehead or the back of my neck. Take some deep breaths, close your eyes and feel the cooling and soothing effect of the peppermint.

Last of his Generation
It is my sad duty to inform you that my father, Darke de Mattos, passed away last November 7 at the age of 86. A sailor, an aviator, a lawyer, and a self-made engineer, he shared his name with the oldest sailing race in Brazil, the Darke de Mattos regatta. My father lived through tumultuous periods of Brazil's modern history. He lived his life in accordance with a tradition handed down from his grandfather: a deep love for the ocean.
Darke de Mattos was a passionate advocate for sailing in Brazil throughout his life, and a pioneer of the Star class internationally. Of the first forty-two Stars, he received number 2209, built in the late Clube's shops, and named her Enif. In the first Darke de Mattos regatta in the early 1940s, he participated as crew, since at that time the class rules didn't allow anyone his age to be a skipper. After that, he was a constant presence at Star regattas up to the day he could no longer sail on a Star at all.
He often told me the amusing anecdote about how, at age seven, he got his start in sailing. His father had decided to take his sixty-foot sloop to Cabo Frio with some friends. Darke was permitted to go along, and to bring his friend, Carlos Wanderley. At a certain point well after dark, my grandfather began to feel sick with a cold and went down below to rest. Meanwhile, the other adults on board had had just a bit too much to drink. They wound up leaving the two boys to mind the helm with just a single instruction: to set a course for a certain star until someone would come up to relieve them. The boys were so small and young that they had to stand on crates in order to see the compass and handle the helm. But they carefully followed instructions throughout the long night, and when, after dawn, my grandfather came up, they pointed proudly -- as any young kids would – to the star they had set their course by: it was the light at the top of the mast! This incident gave birth to a long friendship between my father and Wanderley, who predeceased him, during which they achieved several outstanding results in both in-shore and offshore racing.
Dad sailed across the Atlantic--North and South--and participated in races in the Mediterranean Sea, collecting great stories that, with his passing, will now be silent.
He went in peace and I imagine he must be enjoying his passions, sailing and flying, with his many departed friends.

Chef's Note
"These Norwegian Potato Pancakes can either be served for breakfast of dessert. The potatoes have to be mashed and cooled so do this ahead of time. (not included in time to make)"
READY IN:43mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 large potatoes, for 2 cups mashed potato
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour, approximate
- Peel and Cook potatoes in boiling water till done; mash with a potato masher or electric mixer, till smooth.
- Measure out two cups of the mashed potato and set whatever you have left over aside (we will only be using 2 cups of potato for this recipe, you can season the left over mashed potato and have it for dinner! ).
- Combine mashed potatoes, milk, salt, sugar, and butter to it, then then mash together again until it's all blended.
- Put your finished mashed potatoes into a sealed container and chill in the fridge till cold (about 2 hours); The mashed potatoes must be cold and then will be slightly stiff.
- Measure out your 1 1/2 cups flour; add 1/2 cup of that flour to the mashed potatoes and stir to try to incorporate.
- Again, from that 2 cups, sprinkle flour on a flat surface to keep the lefse dough from sticking to the counter; Put the chunk of mashed, floured potatoes down into the middle of the floured area; Knead it for about ten minutes, gradually incorporating another half cup of flour; After it has a whole cup of flour in it, it will feel much doughier and nothing like mashed potatoes anymore.
- Seperate dough into 8 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a ball.
- Spread more flour out onto your surface - the best way to avoid sticking is to flip the dough over every time you take a roll on the rolling pin, sprinkle a little more flour under it, and then roll the other side.
- Always keep your rolling pin well floured, too; You want really thin pieces here, absolutely no thicker than your average flour tortilla, otherwise they won't cook all the way through and will taste a little doughy - They should work out to be about nine inches diameter.
- Once you have all eight pieces rolled out, heat up your frying pan or griddle and grease it slightly only if it isn't non-stick; Flip one of the uncooked lefse into the pan and quickly unfold any creases that might have happened with the spatula; only turn lefse once, and do it when you see air bubbles forming under the lefse.
- It won't need to cook for as long on the other side, but bubbles will form again (harder to see this time, careful not to leave it on too long and burn it!) you can just pick it up with the spatula and check underneath.
- Serve warm sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon or with some jam.

Drivers who use their mobile phones while behind the wheel are being targeted by Northumbria Police.
Supporting a national campaign, which is running until Saturday, Northumbria Police Motor Patrols officers are running a local operation looking to identify people who are using their mobile phones while driving.
Motor Patrols Chief Inspector John Heckels said: "Using a mobile phone, either hand-held or hands-free, is a significant distraction and substantially increases the risk of a driver being involved in a collision. Drivers who use a mobile phone are much less aware of what is happening on the road around them and so are less likely to see road signs, maintain proper lane positions and steady speeds and are more likely to tailgate the vehicle in front of them. It is incredibly dangerous and puts lives at risk. Anyone distracted by their phone will also react more slowly to things that happen on the road and take longer to brake and stop, meaning it could literally be the difference between life and death."
The week-long initiative forms part of the force's Operation Dragoon road-safety campaign which is aimed at making the roads safer for everyone. This activity is aimed at raising awareness of the dangers and consequences of using a mobile phone while driving and officers will look to educate motorists about the dangers and where appropriate take action against anyone found breaking the law.
Drivers whom officers see on the roads using their phones illegally will be stopped and spoken to, and will either be advised around the law and their driving or, where appropriate, they will be prosecuted. The Camera Enforcement Unit will also be looking for motorists using mobile phones while driving and anyone seen on camera will be identified and face prosecution.
Officers will also be carrying out inquiries into all road-traffic collisions to establish if mobile phone use may have been a contributory factor. Those caught using a mobile phone while driving face being banned from the roads, being fined up to thousands of pounds and could face criminal prosecution.
