Where did our summer go? Seems like we are in the fall already! While I won't complain about the mild weather, I remember that years ago it stayed hot through the first couple of weeks in September. We called it "Indian Summer, but it seems we don't get that anymore.
I spent the weekend helping my young cousin Remy Anne move into her new student apartment in Boston. She will be taking courses at Northeastern University (my Alma Mater). Time passes very quickly these days. It seems like only yesterday when she arrived in Boston with her folks for the first time, ready to begin studying dance at Boston Ballet!
Now I get prime seats along with her parents to watch her perform on the stage, which is
Very cool!
After one of her performances at the Boston Ballet, I noticed my cousin Remy had this long plastic cylinder under her arm. When I asked her what it was, she told me it was a "foam roller."
I know what they are, in fact I have one myself, but her's was hollow unlike my own. I hadn't seen the newer ones so it kinda threw me off a bit. Anyway…seeing her reminded me that I needed to use mine more often. Foam rollers are cylinders made of hard plastic foam that you literately roll over to loosen tight muscles.
For those of you who cannot afford frequent massage therapy treatments, foam roller can be just the thing to keep you more flexible and supple. You can get them online and they are relatively cheap.
I would recommend them highly as one of the most cost effective therapies available to the average person. The link below is to the model that I bought, and one I found works really well for me.
Nothing special about this one, pretty plain, but as I say relatively inexpensive for the benefits you can get from it. You don't have to purchase any particular model, just so long as it is hard foam.
There are newer designs with knobs and protrusions on the surface. I can't say whether these are better, because I have never used them, but they might be worth a shot. The idea is to put pressure on the tender areas because those are where the adhesions in the muscle are.
Adhesions are the result of scar tissue from what we call "micro traumas." These are little tears in the muscle that when they heal, they often adhere to what's called the "fascia." Fascia is the protective sleeve or sheath around your muscles.
The muscles need to move smoothly beneath the fascia, and if they don't because if these adhesions, then you get pain and restriction of movement. The foam roller tends to break up this scar tissue and free the adhesions, thus making you more supple.
You just basically get on the floor with the muscle you want to work resting on the foam roller. You roll over the roller until you find a spot that really hurts when you roll over it. At that point you just keep rolling back and forth across that sore spot until the pain subsides. When the pain subsides, that would be an indication that the adhesion has been freed.
Please keep in mind that this is NOT a substitute for proper medical care! If you have acute (really sharp) pain in an area that does not go away, your safest bet is to see a doctor, such as an orthopedic practitioner. They can either confirm or rule out anything serious.
The foam roller is really for long term stiffness or tenderness in an area that is the result of accumulated micro trauma from sports or exercise that happens over time. As far as learning HOW to use the foam roller, go to Youtube and search on foam roller, or foam roller exercise and you can choose any one of a number of instructional video clips.
Use of a foam roller is one of THE BEST things you can do to feel more flexible, supple, and lose that constant tightness that you may be feeling as a result of age, exercise, or trauma!

Happy rolling!
For my money, Tori Amos is one of THE most electrifying performers in popular music. Her vocal performances are always captivating. I think for many people, including myself, her music is an acquired taste, but well worth trying.
Combine her darkly beautiful piano playing with the wonderful backing of the Metropole Orchestra of Amsterdam Holland and you have one truly magical performance as this Youtube video will attest!
The song is "Winter Winter"
This concert was apparently videotaped in Rotterdam Netherlands. There's a whole lot of wonderful pop music being made all over the world, not just in the USA.
This newsletter is read by people all over the world, so if you have something that you would like me to share such as music from your country or culture with the other readers, please let me know.

The use of upset as a noun in sports writing to indicate an unexpected result in a contest dates to the late 19th century. It was a fairly common term dating back to 1877. From the New York Times of 17 July of that year:
The programme for to-day at Monmouth Park indicates a victory for the favorite in each of the four events, but racing is so uncertain that there may be a startling upset.
It is commonly claimed, however, that this use of upset as a noun stems from a classic 1919 horse race that pitted Man o' War, probably the greatest race horse of all time, against an unlikely opponent named Upset.
During his career, Man o' War lost only one race, the 13 August 1919 Stanford Memorial at Saratoga. Man o' War was heavily favored to win, but lost to a horse named Upset. This, the legend goes, is where the sports term upset comes from. Man o' War would face Upset in five other races, winning every one, but this, according the tale, one loss early in his career would be the one to make lexicographic history.
Most lexicographers and etymologists thought the story too good to be true, but no one could disprove it. Sporting usages of upset prior to 1919 just could not be found. Then in late 2002, researcher George Thompson, using the newly available tools of full-text online searching of the New York Times databases, turned up a string of sporting usages of upset dating back to the 1877 citation given above. There are numerous uses of the term in 19th century sportswriting, proving beyond a doubt that the term was well-established by the time Man o' War lost his only race. Upset did not father a term, he was just well named.

I loved him before. But then, when he guest hosted with Kelly Ripa and bitch slapped the Lohans… oh la, Anderson Cooper made the list for life.
"Apparently these people, these horrific people, the Lohans, they're quite well known… ?"
"And there's this perfectly nice, allegedly 14 year old girl, looks to be more like 60 – no I say that with concern and love – and she allegedly wants to be a singer and or actor slash performer of some sort of striptease person, I don't know…"
SO amazing.
Please, if you haven't watched, you must. Check his reaction when Kelly tries to call them a "multitalented family".
Anderson Cooper calls Ali Lohan an old hag:
Of course when Dina Lohan heard about it she publicly responded via some magazine predicting that "bad karma" would rain down on Anderson's fine silver ass for messing with her family.
No bad karma. Only praise and worship.
And because no sister can walk away without the last word, Silver Andy fired back at Dina, saying she was "probably out clubbing" when the show was on. Hee!
Anderson Cooper calls out Dina Lohan's clubbing:
Anything. I would do ANYTHING to be his hag.

Does anyone use DeviantArt? Would you recommend it?
I just started an account and have shared a couple of my okay pieces of art on it. Is there anything I should be aware of? Browsing through pieces, it seems fine to upload art of characters that don't belong to you. Should I be worried about any kind of copyright or theft issues if I upload art of my own original characters or pieces that I'm really proud of?
Also, is any medium of art accepted? I do a lot of sketches and Shrinky Dink artwork; are things like hemp bracelets and upcycled clothing also okay?
Probably silly questions, but someone here probably knows!
Re: DeviantArt?
I used to be on deviantART! I personally don't really like dA very much, but I do know that you can post basically whatever medium you want; last time i checked they had different categories for stuff. Fanart is also allowed and makes up a huge part of deviantART.
If you're worried about art theft, you can always opt to add a watermark when you submit stuff. submitting work to dA is actually a good way to have a kind of concrete place with the date of submission and copyright of a work (as opposed to tumblr, which can be a bit difficult to navigate). I personally have never had my artwork stolen, but I tend to be a bit sporadic with updates so I feel like I'm not that well-known enough.
edit: also I really hate their new logo, wowza. The old one was so simple! they could have totally rebranded without changing the logo. guh ok whatever
Re: DeviantArt?
Speaking as someone who has had art stolen on a few occasions (and each time it was pretty hilarious for one reason or another, but I digress), it does happen, yes, although in my personal experience the staff were good about getting the stolen work taken down. I've also heard stories about situations where they basically jerked the original artist around instead of actually dealing with the theft, though, so your results may vary! I never bothered with the watermarks myself, but if it worries you, and especially if you're worried about your original things, then either using their watermark feature or just adding your own watermarks in Photoshop/GIMP/blah will definitely help.
Something else you may want to note is that it's not a super-great, or at least not super-consistent, place to get concrit if you want it. It can be good for exposure and sometimes even friends if you submit to the right groups (definitely join some groups! Members have created groups for everything under the sun, and I'm sure that good groups exist for Shrinky Dinks and your other hobbies!), but concrit... eh. If you are after getting some actual advice, you may have to do some digging for groups that encourage it or make a show of it. If you don't care about that, though, then there are plenty of people who'll just drop by to compliment or favorite your art. :)
I should also point that I haven't really been active there for a few years now, though less out of any dissatisfaction with it and more just because I sort of drifted off. I might start uploading some stuff there again soon, idk. They have (had?) a pretty big fakemon community, which is my kind of thing, and I'm curious about the state of it.
Oh, and grab an AdBlock browser extension, if you don't have one already. They might've tightened it up a bit recently, especially after the redesign, but in the past dA was pretty notorious for ads that dumped all sorts of crap on your computer. Personally I'd rather be safe than sorry!
(and yes, the new logo is awful.)

Re: DeviantArt?
(I was going to start a new thread, but seeing how this is still the third most recent thread in this subforum...)
So I've been using deviantArt for a while, and while I like certain aspects of it, I'm not completely satisfied. It feels a little overwhelming to navigate and cumbersome to post art, but the community is nice.
Does anyone have any alternative sites for sharing art? I know some people use tumblr, but I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for. I might use Twitter as a supplement, but not as a primary sharing thing. I've heard Instagram is good for art? Not sure how well it works for organizing albums and whatnot.
What I really like is something like Patreon's feed. It's simple, can handle posts with or without art, seems easy to tag, etc. However, I'm not ready to ask people for money to see my posts and I don't think you can subscribe to someone's Patreon without paying!
I also like how Youtube channels can be organized. Not that that's at all applicable here, but maybe someone knows of something similarly organized?!
Any suggestions?

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The AWS Standard is an ISEAL-compliant framework developed to promote sustainable freshwater use and to evaluate water stewardship practices, developed through a four-year, multi-stakeholder, water roundtable process that included diverse business, public sector and civil society interests from around the world.

Our Goddess By Nature Bridal Gowns come with built in bra cups, so there is no need to worry about wearing a bra! However if you're on the bustier side, we often suggest wearing a stick-on bra with the help of the bra cups to keep everything in place.
We recommend wearing nude-coloured, thin underwear.
We do offer split-sizing for most of our gowns. Please e-mail us at email@example.com if you would like more information on ordering a split-size dress.
Our gowns are delivered in 4-6 months from the date of purchase. You should order your dress at a minimum of 6 months prior to your wedding date. We can also accommodate two-month rush orders for an additional cost.
Absolutely - yes. We often have brides add or take away sleeves, raise necklines, line bodices, add leg slits, etc. If there is a customization you had in mind, send us an e-mail at email@example.com and we will assist you!
Our Goddess By Nature gowns are made using soft, flexible laces and linings. This allows for our brides to gain or lose a little bit of weight without having to make major alterations on their dress. However we do recommend that you order your gown in your current size, as it is much easier to have a dress taken in then it is to get it let out.
Our gowns can be delivered worldwide. You can also purchase our dresses at any Goddess By Nature Stockist Location or from our Brisbane Studio. Our gowns arrive within 4-6 months from your purchase date. International orders are sent via DHL Express, which arrive in 2-5 business days. Domestic orders typically arrive in 2-3 business days.
I stumbled across GBN on Instagram and fell in love immediately. I then discovered the Lydia Gown and searched all the local bridal shops for that dress, there was nothing even remotely similar or even close to as beautiful. One day I was at work and I got a notification from a bridal shop in Toronto, and there it was: "Goddess by Nature Trunk Show" — conveniently the same Sunday that I already had an appointment to try gowns on at THAT boutique (talk about meant to be!). One look in person, on the hanger (not even on my body yet) and I knew: that was my dress.
I actually fell in love with my Goddess By Nature gown by accident. I had a malfunction with my first dress, so I had to go dress shopping for a new one a month before my wedding. I went to Unbridaled in Houston TX, hoping for a miracle, and that's when I fell in love with my Thalia Gown! I wish I had just gone there first!
Goddess By Nature Vivienne Gown| I tried on so many dresses and didn't like any of them – I was super discouraged but then I found the Vivienne dress I fell in love immediately. The dress is absolutely stunning and the quality is unmatched. It's extremely comfy too which was a huge plus! Couldn't recommend this designer enough. 🙂
I tried on 4 dresses prior to my dream dress. Then when I put on my GBN dress I just knew! I didn't want to take it off. I just felt so beautiful wearing it! I was told I had to try on more dresses just to be sure so I did and I just couldn't stop thinking about the GBN dress! It was perfect!
My sister organised an appointment at GBN in Brisbane. I browsed the website prior the appointment, although I was still unsure of what style I loved. I tried on two dresses and I liked them both. It wasn't until I put on the Eliza gown and instantly I loved it! I walked out to show my mum and bridesmaids and they all cheered (my mum was in [happy] tears – I think it only just hit her that I was actually getting married). We paired it with a veil and I felt like a true bride.
Words cannot express how much I love this company! The dresses are so extremely detailed, and so much care is put into designing and making these dresses. I fell in love with the Venice dress when I saw it posted in GBN's wedding dress giveaway contest. I entered and hoped that it I would be the winner, and that that dress would be the one (and it was!). After winning, GBN was so supportive and helpful in choosing the details of the dress – like the lace color, underlay color, train size, etc. Every girl pictures her wedding dress experience to be in a store, trying on gowns, and choosing the one. GBN made it so easy to buy a dress without trying it on, and helping me picture what would look best for me. I even last minute asked to change my dress, but they re-assured me I choose the right one – and I did! I am so in love with the low back, detailed lace, elegant train, and beaded straps on the Venice gown. I couldn't have pictured my wedding day in any other dress. Thank you to everyone at GBN for helping make my wedding day so magical.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
What is abdominoplasty?
An abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that tightens your stomach muscles and removes loose skin and fat from your abdomen to create a flatter, more toned and shapelier tummy.
What does an abdominoplasty involve?
An abdominoplasty is a relatively straightforward procedure that typically takes up to three hours depending on the type of abdominoplasty you choose.
It is usually performed under general anaesthetic. There are a number of variations of an abdominoplasty and your cosmetic surgeon will talk you through the different options and offer advice about the best choice for you. They include:
- Full abdominoplasty – is more major surgery than the other options and takes longer to perform. It may be your best option if you have a lot of excess skin. A curved cut will be made from one hip to the other and fat is removed using liposuction. Your surgeon will cut under the skin above your belly button and pull it down and tighten it.
- Mini abdominoplasty – is suitable if you have just a little excess skin and usually takes around one hour. Your surgeon will make a small incision just above the pubic area to remove this surplus skin.
- Endoscopic abdominoplasty - is recommended if only the muscles of your abdominal wall need to be tightened and typically takes one hour to perform. Your surgeon will make small incisions and use special surgical instruments to tighten the muscles.
What are the benefits of an abdominoplasty?
The benefits of an abdominoplasty are that it allows you to regain your figure, feel more confident about your body shape and, wear a wider choice of outfits. Often loose excess skin develops due to age, pregnancy and extreme weight loss and may cause feelings of self-consciousness. It is suitable for both men and women.
As a tummy tuck surgically tightens weak muscles and removes excess skin and fat it flattens your abdomen and it can also improve your posture as the tightened muscles support your spine.
Abdominoplasty cost?
The cost of your abdominoplasty will depend on the exact type of abdominoplasty procedure you have. Following your consultation process, you will be advised of the guide package price which includes any outpatient care for 60 days post discharge plus one follow up consultation.
We offer a number of finance options to pay for your abdominoplasty surgery, including: All-inclusive Total Care where a single one-off payment at a pre-agreed price delivers direct access to all the treatment you need for complete reassurance, pay as you go and, medical finance loans.
Abdominoplasty recovery and aftercare
Initially after an abdominoplasty you will have bruising and swelling and you may feel some discomfort. This will eventually subside. You can take painkillers to reduce your pain.
You will stay in hospital for one to four nights. Once home you should rest for two weeks. You will then be able to return to work.
You should avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks.
You will have an abdominal scar that is normally hidden by your underwear. It will fade overtime and become barely noticeable.
A full recovery typically takes between four to eight weeks.

Having an abdominoplasty at Ramsay Health Care you can rest assured that you will receive the best cosmetic surgery for your individual needs and desires.

I was hesitant to purchase it as I have bad experience in the past with such scanners, but luckily, the developer offered a demo, so I tried it, and to my surprise, the scans taken are very very crisp and it seems like they were taken with a real scanner. You can then save them and easily email them to anyone you want. When you first seem to scan the image with the camera it would look very blurry and you would think the scan would be useless, but once you press the trackpad to activate the scan, AutoFocus kicks in and keeps refining the image till it gets the best shot!

28 BART escalators out of service
Matier & Ross
How's this for hitting the skids - a record 28 BART escalators were out of service this last week.
And "what makes matters worse is no one is working on them," said rider Rodney Anderson.
"I've been here 15 years, and I've never seen this," said Robert Cotton, BART's chief escalator-repair manager.
One escalator at the West Oakland Station has been out for more than seven months.
Another at Civic Center Station in San Francisco has been idle since Jan. 10, and two others at the busy station have been down for a month.
In fact, nearly half the escalators reported out of service last week were in downtown San Francisco - the three at Civic Center, plus four at Powell Street, three at Montgomery Street and a pair at Embarcadero Station.
In all, BART has 179 escalators and 140 elevators systemwide. But even with a staff of 40 technicians, Cotton says, BART is having trouble keeping up.
Cotton blames the breakdowns on everything from aging equipment to the weather to the daily drubbing the escalators take from the public.
The moving staircases at the downtown San Francisco stations take an especially acute beating from homeless people. They often sleep at the bottom of the escalators to stay warm, and urinate, defecate and spill their drinks into the machinery.
Then there are young vandals who carve up the rubber railings, and the assorted screws, coins and other metal objects that find their way into the escalators' teeth, fouling up the works.
BART installed 19 extra-heavy-duty, German-made escalators in San Francisco more than a decade ago at a cost of nearly $10 million, but they haven't held up as expected.
Cotton says BART plans to spend about $200,000 apiece to rehab them, a fraction of what it would cost to replace them.
If it all sounds familiar, it should.
In the past three years, BART has pumped at least $10 million into trying to keep its escalators moving.
The deep end: Despite opposition from just about everyone in the city's political establishment, a new poll finds that a majority of San Francisco voters say they favor a proposed November ballot measure to study the idea of draining Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and restoring the valley in Yosemite National Park to its natural state.
The poll of 602 likely voters conducted in late April by EMC Research found 59 percent of those surveyed favor of the measure, with 35 percent opposed. Six percent were undecided.
The results came as a bit of a shock to the Friends of Hetch Hetchy, the business and political coalition formed to oppose the measure. The group paid for the poll.
"If we didn't think this was a real threat, we'd happily focus on other priorities," said Rufus Jeffris, spokesman for the business-backed Bay Area Council, which worries about trying to "cut through the noise" of a crowded November ballot to convince voters the Hetch Hetchy measure is a bad idea.
Jeffris and other opponents think the early support has to do with the proposal's wording. It calls for the city's Public Utilities Commission to increase water recycling and study "ending the use of Hetch Hetchy Valley as a reservoir so it could be restored as part of the Yosemite National Park."
What the measure doesn't say outright, critics contend, is that it would be the first step in draining the century-old Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - the main source of drinking water for San Francisco, much of the Peninsula and part of the East Bay.
Restore Hetch Hetchy Executive Director Mike Marshall says his group's proposed ballot measure allows for spending as much as $8 million to study "sustainable" water alternatives and is only a "small but important step" toward draining Hetch Hetchy.
"It's the most moderate, reasonable, incremental approach that any environmental organization has taken with an issue this large," Marshall said.
Opponents are likely to attack the measure by asserting it would cost $10 billion to drain the reservoir and restore the valley - because when the poll's respondents heard that, support for the measure plunged to 38 percent.
Scandal:Ramon Cortines, who spent a decade as San Francisco's schools superintendent before going on to lead districts in New York and Los Angeles, is at the center of a messy sex harassment scandal.
The Los Angeles Unified School District said last week that it had settled with an employee who accused Cortines of taking him to his Kern County ranch in July 2010 and making inappropriate sexual advances.
The deal calls for a $200,000 settlement, plus lifetime health benefits for the employee.
Cortines, 79, who retired from the L.A. district last year, has denied the harassment allegation, saying that what happened was spontaneous and consensual "adult behavior."

To some, a serving of cake is a 1"x2"x2". To others, a serving is 4"x4"x2", and it must be the piece with the white chocolate decoration!Unfortunately, this creates problems on how to price cakes and calculate how many servings you need for your event. Therefore you can also order our cakes by size rather than by weight. The price will be calculated at the time of delivery according to actual weight. Each cake is different in filling and density and therefore offering by weight is confusing for all. To make it easy for you, we classify the portions in three serving styles - Generous (as though all guests will take the cake as main dessert), Sensible (such as for a small party or for coffee), or for an Event like a wedding.

In Love with Jane
A Fine Brush on Ivory: An Appreciation of Jane Austen
Novel Relations: The Transformation of Kinshipin English Literature and Culture, 1748–1818
Jane Austen
Searching for Jane Austen
Jane Austen and the Enlightenment
Jane Austen and the Romantic Poets
In A Fine Brush on Ivory, his "appreciation" of Jane Austen, Richard Jenkyns remarks that in Austen scholarship there are "pressures which cause ordinary critical circumspection to break down," and principal among them is "the peculiar affection in which the person of Jane Austen is held by many readers." This affection is not altogether explained by admiration for her genius, nor is it entirely a symptom of nostalgia for her orderly, decorous, vanished world (though there is a Web site, www.pemberley.com: "your haven in a world programmed to misunderstand obsession with things Austen"). What does explain this "peculiar affection" for Jane Austen?
The impulse to know personally this elusive, even mysterious, writer has led critics to approach her work in mostly biographical or historical ways, often in defiance of other critical fashions, especially the various formal approaches that have dominated modern literary criticism. The conciliatory Jenkyns suggests embracing two contradictory principles: "first, that it is worth finding out what we can about [a writer's] life, partly as a check on what we believe his purposes to have been, partly in the hope of illuminating aspects of his work which we might otherwise have missed; and second, that ultimately we have to believe the work itself." Neither of these ideas is universally acceptable to all modern critics, but several recent works profitably follow the former direction.
Despite its social sciences language, Ruth Perry's sturdily named Novel Relations: The Transformation of Kinship in English Literature and Culture, 1748–1818, looking at eighteenth- and nineteenth-century fiction, adds considerably to our understanding of the psychological and social conditions of Austen's world, especially where she modifies many present-day assumptions about early-nineteenth-century marriage and the family, in the light of which we might easily misread Austen's work. Perry argues that by Austen's day, earlier "kinship orientation based on blood relations" was in the throes of changing to "a kinship axis constituted by conjugal ties," that is, the family you married into was becoming more important than the one you were born into. Women who found themselves on the cusp of this broad social change in real life, and the heroines of fiction, depended on marriage for the happiness and the financial security that might have formerly come from their birth family. She finds evidence that in Austen's day, moreover, manners and morals were becoming more strict and women's place more restricted and precarious than at previous periods in English life, the alteration explored in Austen's books. The world was becoming Victorian.
At the same time there were changes in the management of inheritance. Wealth, which had often been distributed more equitably among family members of both sexes, was now, with the newly prevalent system of primogeniture, transmitted vertically from eldest son to eldest son, leaving daughters and younger sons at the mercy of the heir. This is a situation often seen in Austen's novels, one familiar instance being Mr.…

I have encountered the following integral in my research which does not give-in to my attempts: $$ \int_\mathbb{R} x \left( \frac{1}{\sigma_1} \phi\left(\frac{x}{\sigma_1}\right) \Phi\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma_2}\right) + \frac{1}{\sigma_2} \phi\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma_2}\right) \Phi\left(\frac{x}{\sigma_1}\right) \right) dx $$ where $\phi(x)$ denote probability density function and $\Phi(x)$ a cumulative density function of the standard normal distribution. $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ are positive, and $\mu$ is real.
I would appreciate hints on how to evaluate it. Thank you!

Studies have shown that the simple act of showing pictures of food to a customer can increase a restaurant's revenue up to 20 percent. However, there are many complications for restaurants in providing these pictures. Many restaurants have great difficulty in displaying pictures of all food items as it requires an enormous amount of space where traditional menus do not have the capability of presenting them in a charming manner. Furthermore, most restaurants do not have the knowledge or the resources to develop and maintain a mobile application, let alone convince enough users to download and install such an application for it to be a worthwhile investment for their business. Fortunately, WebiTap delivers a solution by providing restaurants with an interactive menu that is both cost effective and elegant.

SSA Public Hearing Set Tuesday at Crucial Stage In Planning for Future
By JULIA WELLS
Gazette Senior Writer
The Steamship Authority will host a public hearing on the Vineyard early next week, marking a crucial juncture in a tangled discussion about the future of the boat line that was established to serve the two Islands - and about the role of expanded ferry service between the Vineyard and New Bedford.
The hearing begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the Oak Bluffs School.
Called on short notice amid a scramble of activity to tie up a basketful of loose ends before SSA general manager Armand Tiberio leaves the boat line next month, the hearing is ostensibly intended to allow the people of the Vineyard to express their views. Subjects for discussion will include expanded ferry service, including high-speed passenger service and also freight service between the Vineyard and New Bedford.
SSA general manager Armand Tiberio said yesterday that the format of the meeting was still under discussion.
But it is understood that the format will include a main presentation by Mr. Tiberio, who will emphasize that no decisions have been made. Mr. Tiberio also intends to outline the goals of the boat line, including:
* Reduce or maintain costs.
* Reduce freight traffic through the existing ports.
* Make more space available for Island residents on the boats.
* Improve connections with public transportation.
* Reduce Island-bound car traffic coming through Woods Hole.
* Reduce short-term (one-to-four day) visitor car traffic to the Island.
It is understood that the format for the meeting will also include a densely packed presentation of information on options for New Bedford ferry service, including passenger and freight service. For seasonal passenger service the options include continuing with the Schamonchi, using a mid-speed passenger ferry (24-26 knots) and using a high-speed passenger ferry (34-36 knots). For seasonal freight service the options include using the freight boat Katama and using a new mid-speed freight vessel.
A wide array of charts, graphs, tables and schedules are planned, including a table that would show fare increases on the Vineyard run that would be needed to pay for additional capital in $10 million increments.
It is also understood that Vineyard boat line governor J.B. Riggs Parker has prepped Mr. Tiberio with his own 20-point list in connection with the long-term service plan for the Vineyard. Mr. Parker's facts include:
* The New Bedford ferry terminal is 20 miles closer to route 128 than the Woods Hole terminal, with no bridges or towns and highway all the way to the water. The New Bedford terminal is 42 miles closer than Woods Hole for travelers from the west.
* New Bedford plans to build parking at its harbor facility.
* If the SSA does not replace the Schamonchi with high-speed passenger service, New Bedford or some other operator will apply for a license to provide this service.
Mr. Parker's fact sheet contains nearly identical language with a cover sheet on a customer survey now circulating on boat line ferries - especially the language about the distance from the ferry terminal to the highway.
The survey is being distributed to passengers on the Islander, the Martha's Vineyard and the Schamonchi. Mr. Tiberio said yesterday that the survey is being done in-house as part of a feasibility study for a demonstration high-speed ferry project between New Bedford and the Vineyard.
He said distribution of the survey took place last weekend and will take place again this weekend.
The cover letter for the survey reads like an advertisement for New Bedford service. "The Steamship Authority would like to determine whether our customers would be interested in taking advantage of the convenience, comfort and shorter driving time provided by this new ferry service," the letter says.
Mr. Tiberio said yesterday that the survey is not promotional but factual.
"Those are all facts. What we are saying here is what we think - we think the service is going to be more convenient and we think the comfort of the vessel is much different in comparison with the older vessels," he said.
"This kind of survey is trying to take a pulse of the people that are out there right now. It's going to be interesting to see what they are going to say to us. I don't think it will be conclusive but it will show a trend," he added.
Mr. Tiberio said the customer survey is one part of a feasibility review for a demonstration high-speed ferry project between New Bedford and the Vineyard. He said there are many other parts of the feasibility review, but he said some can only be learned from actually doing the demonstration project.
"The actual demonstration is designed to look at many of the issues," Mr. Tiberio said.
Mr. Tiberio said he is uncertain whether the results of the customer survey will be ready for the Tuesday public hearing, but he said the results will be included in his final feasibility report for the board.
He was also not specific about when he expects the report to be done, but he said it will be before he leaves the boat line on Sept. 14 to take another job.
Mr. Tiberio said there were two issues that he described as "show-stoppers:" Whether a high-speed vessel is available for lease and whether the terminal facility in New Bedford can be developed to accommodate the service.
As the flurry of preparations continued for the hearing next week, one question remained unanswered: Will the Vineyard people be asked if they want high-speed ferry service from New Bedford?
"That's not my decision," Mr. Tiberio said.

One of the senior adult female mountain Gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park,
Bwiruka has died barely three months after the oldest male, Ruhondeza of Mubare Group passed on.
She was known to be playful, friendly and even cheeky, but sadly, at the age of about 30, Bwiruka,
a female gorilla has died. One of the most senior adult female mountain Gorillas of Bwindi
Impenetrable National Park, Bwiruka has died barely three months after the oldest male, Ruhondeza
passed on.
Bwiruka, who has been a dominant female in the 34-member Nshongi family, was found dead by trackers on Monday, according to officials of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).
A necropsy (postmortem for non-humans) is being performed to determine the cause of her death
though UWA officials say Bwiruka, whose name in Rukiga means "one who knows how to run," had
recently grown frail and was sighted trailing the rest of the group with difficulty.
"Bwiruka has for the last few weeks been walking and feeding with difficulty, a clear sign that she
has not been feeling well," said the Acting Chief Conservation area manager at UWA Mr Charles
Tumwesigye. "She was about 30 years which is very old age for females because giving birth makes
them weaker than the males. It is very sad because her death means the number of mountain gorillas
has gone down by one."
Mountain gorillas, especially the males, can live up to about 50 years in habituation while their
average life span in the wild is 35 years. Habituated gorillas are more closely guarded by field
staff and receive veterinary treatment for snares, respiratory diseases, and other life-threatening
'Favourite lady'
UWA officials say during her hey days, Bwiruka was the male gorillas' favourite lady, thanks to her
playful character. She could be spotted in secret trysts with the family top males, Bweza and
Mishaya. "We all mourn the death of this special member of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park," Mr
Tumwesigye said.
The gorilla trackers will miss Bwiruka just as much as her family members. The secret of Bwiruka's
appeal seemed to be her light-hearted ways given that most adult females are not given to
As the Nshongi Family became more accustomed to the company of the trackers, Bwiruka would be known to playfully harass men. She could set up an ambush and 'attack' the trackers, leaving them bewildered, unharmed and laughing at the fact that she had pulled a fast one on them. Bwiruka will be laid to rest in the park after the necropsy has been performed.
The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has launched a new census of the mountain gorilla population in Bwindi impenetrable national park to assess their numbers and document information on poaching and other illegal activities.
The census is also intended to estimate the population of other mammals like bush pigs, elephants, and monkeys and human activities in the park for planning and conservation purposes.
The census if funded by the international gorilla conservation programme, a global agency dedicated to protecting gorillas and their habitat, to the tune of $100,000 (about sh280m).
According to Martha Robbins, the German expert leading the census, the team counts gorilla nests, other than individual gorillas, and collect their feaces. The feaces will be used for generic analysis which, she said, provides the most accurate estimates.
The team, comprising of Ugandans, Rwandese and DR Congo wildlife experts traverses the entire 331sq.km forest in a zigzag style in search for fresh gorilla trails until their nests are found and counted.
This is the fourth gorilla census conducted since Bwindi was gazetted a national park in 1991 and declared a Natural World Heritage Site by Unesco in December 1994. The first census of 1997 revealed 300 gorillas while the number increased to 320 in 2002.
However, in 2006 when the generic census analysis was first introduced, the number fell to 300. Robbins could not give projections for this year, saying the results would come out next year after the generic analysis is completed at a laboratory at Germany-based Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
Journalists and UWA wardens climb the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park hills in the 2011 gorilla census exercise
Mountain gorillas, the backbone of Uganda's tourism industry, are critically endangered, with only 720 individuals remaining in the world. These live in the three countries of Uganda, Rwanda and DRC.
Bwindi Park harbours half of the gorilla population and the remainder roams the Virunga ranges shared by the three countries.
Pontious Ezuma, the conservation manager for Bwindi, said the number of tourists tracking gorillas has increased from 1,313 in 1993 to 15,112 last year.
The number is expected to increase even further, thanks to three more gorilla groups which UWA is to open. The groups, including Oruzogo, Kahunge and Mishaya, which Ezuma said would be launched next month, habour over 60 newly habituated gorillas.
This will bring the number of habituated gorilla groups in the park to 10, one of which is reserved for only research purposes. With each group accommodating eight tourists daily, it means that the park's annual capacity would increase from 20,440 to 26,280 tourists.
The number of gorilla-tracking tourists has been increasing annually, save for 1999 when it dropped from 2,437 in 1998 to 2,111. This arose after the killing of eight foreign tourists by the Interahamwe rebels from the DRC. Since then, the Government has tightened security arround the park, which Ezuma said is key for tourism growth.
As published by the New vision by Francis Kagolo
The Great Virunga Trans-boundary Core Secretariat (GVTCS) has revealed that it has set aside money to construct five more tanks neighboring sub-counties of Mgahinga to curb the water scarcity in the area. This was revealed by the Executive Secretary of GVTCS Mr. Sam Mwadha at the commissioning of four water tanks constructed in the sub- counties of Muramba and Nyarusiza in Kisoro district to reduce water scarcity in the villages adjacent to park. The tanks were launched by the Ag.Executive Director UWA Dr. Andrew Seguya on behalf of the secretariat.

A few things about Canada
March 17th, 2014 Posted 8:09 pm
Well it's been nearly 6 months since I first touched down on Canadian soil, and I'm very pleased to report that it's been a delightful experience. I love this country!
I'm at the stage now where I feel like I've passed my probation. Settling in Toronto has given me the fantastic opportunity to get to know first-hand what life is like within the boundaries of the most populous & multicultural city in Canada, and I've done enough travelling around the province and south of the border to gain a basic understanding of the North American way of life in general.
So in no particular order, here is a list of a few Canadian quirks, loves, frustrations, tongue-in-cheek observations and comparisons to life in Australia that I've come to notice so far during my time here.

Write a macro containing both "Bounce MIDI" and "Bounce" (audio), assign a key.
Beats using the glue tool by a mile imho, ymmv.
For some weird reason it crashes 6.5 here though.
Go figure, I actually found a little detail that works faster in C7 ...
* No, stupid, it doesn't create a MIDI/audio hybrid.
Gotta leave something for next week.

SANDY, Utah — In the words of head coach Jason Kreis, it was, once again, a "shaky" start for RSL in a Champions League match.
However, their response was impressive enough to earn a 4-1 defeat of Toronto FC on Wednesday night despite them falling behind a goal early.
"Shaky is a very, very kind description of the way we started the first 15 minutes, but then to have a response the way that we did was really, really impressive from our group," Kreis said.
This time they gave up a goal just eight minutes into the match after Nat Borchers played a poor back pass to 'keeper Nick Rimando.
But RSL turned back an uneasy opening 20 mins in which TFC controlled proceedings to score four unanswered goals. The victory moved RSL into a tie for first place alongside Mexico's Cruz Azul after three rounds of group play.
Team captain Kyle Beckerman tallied the tying goal off a header in the 21st minute, and he was singled out for praise from Kreis.
"[Beckerman] was one of a few players that was, I thought, completely engaged from the opening minute," Kreis said. "I think the right people get rewarded a lot on our team, and I was happy to see him score the goal because I thought he deserved it. From there everybody woke up."
Beckerman not only put away the first goal for RSL, but he was also instrumental in another way.
The midfielder had a hand in gaining RSL a man advantage after he tussled with TFC's Mista just six minutes after the Spanish DP had entered the field as a substitute.
Mista was shown a straight red for the off-the ball incident with Beckerman, and that would open up the game for Real Salt Lake as they went on to score two more goals to put the game out of reach for TFC.
RSL's front line may have been the ultimate story of the match, albeit for different reasons.
Alvaro Saborio showed intensity throughout the game, often coming back to meet the ball and encouraging his teammates to put high pressure on the opponent.
He was rewarded for his efforts — and the efforts of his teammate Will Johnson, who earned a PK in the 69th minute. Saborío immediately ran to the spot and wasn't about to give up the right to take the kick.
The resulting goal was Saborío's fifth in Champions League play and his third from the penalty spot. It puts him in second place in tournament scoring behind Cruz Azul's Javier Orozco, who has 10 on the campaign.
"[Saborío] has been really, really instrumental in terms of our success in this tournament so far," Kreis said. "I think right now, I feel like he's playing his best soccer."
His strike partner on the night, Robbie Findley, also worked hard in the match, but he missed several chances. But while the the frustration of not converting seems to grow, Findley appears determined to help out in other ways.
His efforts paid off when he created a chance in the late stages of the match. He finished the game with an assist after he delivered a pass to his newest teammate, loanee Paulo Araujo Jr.
"I thought apart from the missed opportunities, [Findley] played a great game," Kreis said. "His assist was excellent."
Araujo Jr. scored just six minutes into his debut, a team record for RSL.
"I was very lucky," Araujo Jr. said. "When I played my first game in Miami I scored, then I came here and scored a goal in my first game."
One RSL player who did not have a great experience in this match was defender Robbie Russell, who received a blow to the head and came off the field looking groggy.
"He has a concussion, and it seems like it's a pretty serious one," said Kreis, who indicated that Russell is unlikely to be available on Saturday's league match against the Chicago Fire.
