Industry-Funded Scallop Program
The Industry Funded Scallop (IFS) Program was initiated by National Marine Fisheries Service Emergency Action in 2006 and permanently re-activated by Amendment 13 to the Scallop Fishery Management Plan in 2007. The Scallop Fishery Management Plan is managed by the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC) and NMFS. Please see the NEFMC website and NMFS Greater Atlantic Region Office (GARFO) Announcements website for information on scallop related management actions. Observer coverage is required in the scallop fishery (dredge and trawl gears) to monitor the bycatch of finfish, collect biological information to inform stock assessments, and to monitor any interactions of the scallop fishery with endangered or threatened species, such as sea turtles. IFS Observers collect a full suite of fishery dependent data to document total catch, discards, biological samples, interactions with protected species, as well as a host of economic variables. For more information about the program please see the Industry Funded Scallop Program Fact Sheet.
Information for Fishermen

Prominent television talk show host Oprah Winfrey was one of the eight celebrities honored at Harvard University Tuesday, for her outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the African American culture.
The university's Hutchins Center for African and African American Research also conferred its annual W.E.B. Du Bois Medals on British architect David Adjaye, performer-activist Harry Belafonte, civil rights hero U.S. Rep John Lewis, D-Ga.; "12 Years a Slave"director Steve McQueen, "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes and movie producer Harvey Weinstein.
The medal, awarded since 2000, represents the highest honor in the field of African and African American Studies at Harvard.
"Seven of this year's recipients embody excellence in the arts, and there's a reason we're focused on the arts," said Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, in a statement.
Winfrey, producer and philanthropist, also accepted a posthumous award for author and poet Maya Angelou. One of her fondest memories of her mentor Angelou, who died early this year, was sitting at the poet's kitchen table eating biscuits and listening to her read and recite.
"I'm so proud she called me her daughter-sister-friend," Winfrey said, the Boston Globe reports.
Rhimes, creator of hit shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal," said that she was humbled to share the stage with the likes of Lewis, Belafonte, and "Queen Winfrey". She also expressed her gratitude to ABC network for devoting three hours of primetime to her shows on Thursday.
"I wish it wasn't so remarkable that I thought television should look like the rest of the world," said Rhimes.

A landmark pay equity deal is just one of a number of government policy changes coming into effect tomorrow that deliver for New Zealanders, Prime Minister Bill English says.
Legislation to enable 55,000 healthcare workers to receive pay rises of between 15 and 50 per cent from the $2 billion settlement has been passed.
"Record spending in the health sector will have far-reaching effects and will make real changes to the lives of New Zealanders – including the large number of mostly-female workers who will now earn a fair wage," Mr English says.
"Funding for the drug-buyer Pharmac will enable wider access to new medicines that will benefit over 33,000 people. Pharmac's budget for 2017/18 will be a record $870 million – this means the Government has increased Pharmac's budget by $220 million since 2008.
"DHBs will share an extra $439 million to invest in services, improve access, and to meet cost pressures and population growth. That's on top of the $12.2 billion baseline funding they already receive.
"We're also introducing free chickenpox vaccinations for 15 month olds as well as for any child turning 11, who still hasn't had the vaccine."
Other changes coming into effect tomorrow include:
- The first of the extra 880 sworn Police staff will start Police College this month, with the first graduates on the beat by October. This follows the announcement of the Government's $503 million Safer Communities package earlier this year. As well as that, the Eagle Helicopter will now be available around the clock with the response time of 10-15 minutes, as opposed to the pre-scheduled times for 1800 hours a year.
- Extra support for veterans and their families, including increasing lump-sum payments for those suffering a service-related permanent impairment, as well as child care payments for children of a deceased veteran whose death was service-related.
- Motorists will benefit from a 12.5 per cent average reduction in annual ACC Motor Vehicle Account levies. The average levy will reduce from $130.26 to $113.94 per vehicle. The new motor vehicle levy rates apply for the next two years, and will save motorists more than $113 million. These latest reductions follow more than $2 billion of ACC levy cuts made by the National-led Government since 2012.
- New laws requiring earthquake-prone buildings to be upgraded mean those in high risk areas like Wellington have to be assessed within five years and upgraded within 15, while in low risk areas like Auckland the timeframe is 15 and 35 years.
- Regulations allowing frontline Corrections officers to carry pepper spray take effect. The changes mean trained and authorised staff can carry pepper spray on them, giving them an additional tool to respond to potentially dangerous situations.
- The new Elder Abuse Response Service (EARS) comes in to effect and includes a free and confidential 24/7 expert advice and help-line, 0800 32 668 65 (EA NOT OK). There'll be more effective and accessible help and intervention wherever and whenever victims need it.
"For eligible employees and self-employed parents, the maximum weekly rate of Paid Parental Leave will increase from $527.72 to $538.55 gross per week, reflecting a 2.1 per cent rise in average weekly earnings over the past year.
"These changes show how a growing and diversified economy is delivering real benefits to the back pockets of hard working New Zealanders," Mr English says.

New Opportunities
It is amazing how quickly a week can whizz by. Why, just last week I was in the thick of Yarndale and had a whale of a weekend! This weekend, I'm sitting gently enjoying a coffee and a biscuit in the Chapel Gallery, Hawes. I have managed a little knitting and a little reorganisation of the Chapel Gallery, unpacked kits and sorted my quilts. Now I turn to the request from customers to turn more of my redwork designs into kits, the Madbird Stained Glass Hanging into a pattern and...Read More
Yarndale Celebrations!
What an incredible event this was! Now, I know, I had a few cauliwobbles along the way and I was working hard all year developing, designing and making finished hangings, cushions and a multitude of kits and patterns. But I did it! I got it all done and the stall looked wonderful and professional. I was really blessed by the amount of people who had traveled from London, Wales, Liverpool, Durham and other places who came up to say they enjoyed my blog and wanted to meet the...Read More
Developing Wildlife
I've been busy these last few weeks getting the final bits ready. I've been booked for a talk at the Richmond and Leyburn Embroidery Guild tomorrow (gulp) and a stall at Yarndale next weekend at Skipton Auction Mart. During my preparations I have developed four redwork kits and a lovely leaping hare… a tassel making kit, a Madbird needlewrap kit, the chapel mouse kit, and three wildlife cushion kits/patterns in addition to a pile of glass sheep and stars and a napkin &...Read More
What a great entry point into the world of embroidery. Such a great way to learn some basic stitches, one stitch at a time. No wonder Redwork was taught to very young children. Maybe that say's a lot about me? A child at heart, through and through, and I like simple clear lines. It amazes me how much can be conveyed by a single line. Like the stag just paused, listening and looking, in the moment before a decision to sprint or to stay. I have had a great deal of fun over the last...Read More

Smartphone usage
After reading the thread Forums dying in the Front Desk subforum I figured what I need to say is more a technology issue as opposed to the management of the hawaiithreads itself.
I have gone through at least 3 smartphones in the last 5 years, the applications I find useful on the device are:
Something I noticed in general about smartphones, while the user of the device can get information from the device no matter where they are, but it is kind of hard to submit information using the device if one has to type a lot of stuff or needs to copy and paste stuff from other sources to help make their point.
I suspect I might add more to the above list or make a list of stuff I don't use on a smartphone.
If anyone else wants to reply to this thread and write what applications they use or not use on their smartphone please feel free to do so.

Re: Smartphone usage
Helen, if you're using a smartphone to look at HEA, I strongly recommend instead using one of the TheBus apps instead. While the apps were buggy as heck at first, over the years they became much more reliable. Not more reliable than the HEA website, but just a lot easier to use, with a few features that made it one of my most-used apps.
The four apps in my dock (that's the bottom row of the screen, which stays in place however many pages of apps you have) are Spotify, Downcast (a podcast manager), Shazam, and Outlook (which I use only for work emails).
The position of honor, the top-left of my home screen, is saved for Tweetbot, my preferred Twitter client.
Other apps I use every day are Gmail, FB, Instagram, Major League Baseball's AtBat, Words with Friends, Google, Chrome, Swarm, Tootdon (a Mastodon client), Starbucks, my credit union app, and the Washington Post.
I don't use it every day, but I have found the Wikipedia app most invaluable in settling disputes, and IMDb for helping me identify actors I'm seeing on the screen but can't name.
But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)
Re: Smartphone usage
I'm a latecomer to cell phones having only picked one up for the first time in 2014 after saying for many years I would never get one. When I started I was on the cheapest plan I could get from Mobi PCS, which was just text and talk.
In late 2015 I had a heart attack and that stupid phone saved my life as I was out of my house but able to call 911.
In mid 2016 all of the Mobi PCS users were forced to get new phones as Mobi pulled out of their own service and began to be a MVNO using Sprint and Verizon's infrastructure. That decision rendered all of their locked phones instantly obsolete at a certain cut off date in late August of 2016.
Needless to say I was angry that such a change was forced upon us.
So I switched to TMobile.
Bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 Android phone then and am still using it today.
So it is a smartphone and I have a love/hate relationship with it.
Hate it because it is so fragile and I am always worrying about dropping the 60% glass device, getting it wet and for some horrible apps you cannot delete and takes up space on the limited internal memory space. I also hate the fact that some of the apps take up so much space (bloatware) and can only be used on the main memory space.
Love the many other features such as an extra slot to put in a SD card which I can also run some apps off but not all. The apps themselves range from the useful (Gmail, Chrome, Wikipedia, Google Voice, SmartNews, Sunrise/Sunset, Fotor) to entertaining (YouTube, PlutoTV, Musicolet, TunedIn, Stitcher, Accuradio, Facebook).... and some I wonder why I installed them and in time get rid of.
Another thing I like about this smartphone, like my previous phone it has a removable battery. So when the darn thing can't charge I can buy a new battery which I recently did. The back cover for the battery is somewhat flimsy and mine is now cracked a bit... so that is a negative.
One thing for sure, many smartphones are not built to last. For the price you pay for them, I find this most appalling. Think Apple iPhone... in three to five years they want to ice you out of updates and remove valuable features on succeeding models such as the headphone jack which only drives their own revenue stream because most people will just get the expensive airbuds vs. being able to use cheap wired earbuds... Plus the internal battery will die down and without paying a ransom to Apple you can't replace it yourself. Ugh.
Bad Apple.
I'm still here. Are you?

Re: Smartphone usage
I am using Tracfone for the service for my smartphone which is an Android based phone. Been using Tracfone since 2006 (as well as various phones during that time) since the cheapest card you can get is $19.99 for 90 days of service with 60 minutes of air time (I can't remember what amounts you get for the text and data) but the good thing is that the unused amounts can carry over when get the next service card.
As far as what is on my smartphone screen, the first page contains GMail, Calendar, Google Maps. Chrome, Hangouts and 5 bookmarks to the HEA stops that I tend to use when I commute between home and work. The second page contains 9 bookmarks to HEA stops that I would need to leave to get back home (2 of them would be stops close to the Ward Entertainment Center as examples). The third page consist of 13 bookmarks to the HEA stops that I would tend to use on my way going to usual places.
The fourth and fifth pages don't contain HEA bookmarks but rather other apps I rarely use.

I have chosen to train my spotlight this month on Iris Chacon, novelist and fellow member of Mystery Authors International.
Iris Chacon has written for radio, television, motion pictures, and magazines for more than 30 years. She has taught writing-related courses at Christian schools from grade 5 through college, and she has worked as a musician. Duby's Doctor is her fifth novel, and it carries on the Chacon tradition of good, clean fun, mystery, humor, romance, and a "sunshine state of mind." Iris hails from the Sunshine State, Florida, where her ancestors have lived since Florida was a Spanish colony, before the United States existed. She is working on her next novel, which incorporates many of the adventures she has enjoyed in the American Southwest.
I 've reviewed two of Iris's novels, Finding Miranda and Schifflebein's Folly, so I suggested we talk instead about Duby's Doctor, which I have not yet had the chance to read.
As is my custom, I began our conversation by asking Iris where she got the idea for Duby's Doctor.
Iris: Duby's story was inspired by the landscapes, art culture, elaborate mansions, and live-aboard sailboats of Coconut Grove.
GW: Why Coconut Grove?
Iris: For years, I passed through the magical Grove community on my way to work in the high-rise offices of Miami. The unique aura and ambiance of the Grove always launched my imagination into a happy stratosphere of quirky characters and exotic locations.
GW: Sounds like a wonderful locale for a story. I don't suppose any of the scenery was two-legged?
Iris (with a discrete blush): Sometimes the girls and I (we were in a carpool) would simply stop in the Grove and watch the panoply of beautiful people (mostly male) passing by.
GW: Knowing how an author's mind works, I suppose one of those beautiful people evolved into your protagonist?
Iris: How did you guess? My brain conjured up a man who lived on a boat and worked undercover in an arms dealer's mansion.
GW: So, you invented Agent Yves Dubreau, a/k/a Duby. Can you tell us anything else about him?
Iris: Since he lived in Coconut Grove, he also had to be an artsy type, so I decided that Duby would be a talented sketcher and painter.
GW: This sounds like another fun novel. I'm adding Duby's Doctor to my 'must read' list.
Iris was kind enough to share an excerpt from Duby's Doctor with us.
When he can steal time away from his undercover assignment (as an arms dealer's bodyguard), Agent Yves Dubreau jogs with all the other muscular Coconut Grove athletes. He enjoys the morning tai chi group in Peacock Park, and he quietly remains on the fringes of the Grove's art scene — until he blows his cover and gets himself murdered. When resuscitated, he is a scarred, nameless giant with no memories, no language, and only his drawings with which to communicate. Of course, he still has the same deadly enemies he had in his former life; he just doesn't know it. Neither does naive lady-surgeon, Dr. Mitchell Oberon. Soon, Duby's unscrupulous supervisor forces the unsuspecting Mitchell to shelter this recovering "John Doe" in her home and begin teaching him how to live again. Both Duby and Dr. Oberon will learn a lot about living— they just may not be living long. A murderous arms dealer will soon be stalking them.
Excerpt from Chapter 10
(Mitchell picks up John/Jean from his maintenance job at St. Luke's Daycare)
"He'll be right out," the nun said. "He's all right. We were just cleaning him up. It looked worse than it is. The bleeding seems to have stopped—"
"—and the paramedics said—"
"—they don't think Mister Kavanaugh's ribs are broken, just bruised—"
"—and the police said, since nobody seems to want to press charges, — "
"—that we can just forget about it. Of course, Jean had to be punished for hitting—"
"—so he had to run laps. And that started the nosebleed again. But everything's all right now. Here he is."
Jean limped out of the back room, holding a bloodied washcloth against his nose.
Sister Elizabeth sighed. "It's been an exciting day."
Mitchell studied Jean from head to toe, incredulous. She pointed at his swollen left knee. "You ran on concrete? And hitting? You were hitting! The children?"
"Oh, dear, no!" said Sister Elizabeth. "He was hitting Mister Kavanaugh."
Mitchell stared at Sister Elizabeth and back at Jean. "You ran on concrete and you hit Mister Kavanaugh? Who is Mister Kavanaugh?"
"Debbie's father," answered Sister Elizabeth.
Mitchell was looking at Jean. "Excuse me, Sister, but unless Kavanaugh cut his tongue out, I'd like to hear Johnny answer something. John, why did you hit Debbie's father?"
Jean pulled the washcloth away from his face to say, "He hits Debbie."
After a pause, Mitchell muttered, "I told you never to run on the concrete."

Daily newspapers still report titillating items regularly. Early in February, the shapely Lady Catarina Pietra Toumei was charged in Manhattan with claiming she was a representative of the storied Guggenheim family as she tried to peddle fake diamond, gold, and oil investments. She is a social butterfly residing in Rancho Santa Fe (where else?). Trouble is, prurient readers could get this news for free online many hours before the newspaper reported the story the next morning.
So, it was not surprising that only a few days after the lady (who may or may not be a countess) dominated front pages that the big Sacramento-based newspaper chain McClatchy reported a 10 percent plunge in its January advertising revenue, compared with a year earlier. McClatchy's earnings were about cut in half during the period. The stock plunged 12.2 percent that day.
Admittedly, the adventures of the comely Lady Catarina Pietra Toumei are more captivating than the plunging profits of McClatchy Company. But the ad sales drop of the newspaper company does interest us old fogies who concentrate on (1) money and (2) the media. Bottom line: it's clear that investors, and perhaps the daily newspaper industry itself, are convinced that advertisers will continue to migrate to digital media, and even though dailies are stepping up their own efforts to make money online, it's a losing battle. Ink and paper will continue in sick bay.
Daily newspapers are slashing costs, but that won't be enough. There are rumors that the San Diego Union-Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, and smaller papers owned by MediaNews Group could consolidate under common ownership. Hedge funds that have scooped up debt of overleveraged Southern California papers "are intent on driving consolidation," says columnist James Rainey of the Los Angeles Times. The individual newspapers would retain their identities and news staffs but would combine efforts in advertising sales, distribution, printing, and human resources, says Rainey.
Such consolidation would no doubt lead to even more personnel head chopping. But would more pogroms work? Wall Street analysts don't think so. They think the future of the daily newspaper is grim. "We are skeptical of the New York Times' ability to keep reducing costs, and are concerned that the company will run out of fat to trim and have to cut into muscle, hurting the quality of its product," says Joscelyn MacKay of Morningstar Research. "The growing number of free online information sources continues to weigh on New York Times' core business," which is newspapers, representing 84 percent of sales.
Newspapers are 78 percent of the revenue of Gannett, the largest publishing chain. Free online competition hurts. "Circulation volumes are falling, and advertisers are shying away from newspapers," says MacKay.
Standard & Poor's says McClatchy suffers from "migration of advertisers to the Internet." Ditto for the Washington Post, which is also burdened by its ownership of Kaplan, Inc., a for-profit college operation that could lose some of its federal funding because of past and present misbehavior.
Morningstar quit doing research on E.W. Scripps stock. In 2008, E.W. Scripps created a new entity for its fast-growing cable networks and interactive media. Now the original media chain has only laggardly newspapers and TV stations; the websites associated with the company account for a small percentage of revenue.
Today, the question is whether the iPad and other "tablet revolution" products will rescue the daily newspapers. Investors doubt it.
The stock market seems to agree with analysts' skeptical views. Newspaper stocks are far off their all-time highs, although they are now up from their very depressed 2008–2009 lows. Example: Gannett stock sold for $91.38 in 2004. In the depths of the bear market in early 2009, it plunged to $1.85. On Friday, it closed at $16.98. McClatchy sold for $76.05 in 2005 and sank below 50 cents in 2009, as Morningstar warned it was worth nothing. On Friday, it closed at $4.24.
This brings us to Charles Brandes, San Diego money manager. His firm, Brandes Investment Partners, bought into McClatchy at $44.50, becoming the media company's largest institutional shareholder, with 14.63 percent of the stock. Then the Brandes firm committed one of Wall Street's unforgivable sins: selling near the bottom — in McClatchy's case, 70 cents. Similarly, the firm bought into Gannett between $36.50 and $55.50, becoming the largest shareholder with 11.25 percent of the stock. It dumped the stock in late 2009 for an average price of $7.21 — less than half the price it closed at on Friday, $16.98. (Copley Newspapers dumped the Union-Tribune near the bottom of the market too.)
Brandes also got into a lot of other stinkers, such as Countrywide Financial, the scandal-plagued mortgage pusher that Bank of America tried vainly to purify; Washington Mutual, a similar organization seized by the government in 2008; Royal Bank of Scotland, which fell under the watch and ward of the British government; and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), which went under U.S. conservatorship.
Charles Brandes's investment strategy is to buy undervalued assets and wait until the stock price gets more realistic. A couple of decades ago, newspapers' profit margins were around three times those of the average company. A former manager with the firm thinks that Charles Brandes kept expecting newspapers' profits and stock prices to return to the good old days. He was not grasping "the reality of what was going on in print media — falling subscriptions, falling revenues. There was a paradigm shift" that more alert analysts perceived.
In 2005, Brandes Investment Partners had $101.9 billion under management. That's down to $47.8 billion. But Charles Brandes built one of San Diego County's most expensive homes. It's 54,000 square feet on 30 Rancho Santa Fe acres and is worth at least $35 million. He lives there with his third wife, the lovely Tanya, and their enormous collection of cars and other chattels of the rich and chic. Meanwhile, he is having a knockdown, widely publicized divorce battle with his second wife.
Charles and Tanya are quintessential Beautiful People of the San Diego party set — pictured in the Union-Tribune in mid-2008 with David Copley at Cannes, for example.
On October 23, 2009, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and David Copley put on a soiree to honor His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. Charles and Tanya were there to socialize with the prince — and with Lady Catarina Pietra Toumei, another invitee.
I didn't see it covered in the daily newspapers.

Don, great article! Thanks for keeping tabs on the newspaper industry and throwing in the tabloid details to keep it interesting. I really miss the newspaper business. Makes me sad every time I think about it all crashing and burning.
The interesting question is how many years -- or generations -- the ink and paper product will last. Another question is why newspaper chains did not see the electronic revolution coming. And why did not chains see the fact that younger people were not reading? That was obvious in the mid-1980s. Many studies showed it. Some on Wall Street knew it and were bearish on newspaper chains. I will never forget an experience I had at Copley in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I wrote a column on the media. I mentioned that newspapers had a problem: readership surveys were showing that young people were not reading. I didn't mention Copley. The general manager of the U-T wrote a blistering letter to Helen and David Copley, screaming that I was hurting the business. He claimed that competing radio and TV stations were using my column to sell ads. He went on to say that local business executives thought I was anti-business, and I was an enemy of the company and the business community. If he had had any brains (and he didn't, unfortunately), he would have asked me for copies of those studies and incorporated the results in his analyses of what to do in the future. But he was incapable of making an analysis. Best, Don Bauder
Another question is why newspaper chains did not see the electronic revolution coming
I doubt anyone could have seen the scope of the Internet's reach before 1996, 1997. It has liuterally changed the world with the amount of information you can gather in mere seconds, as well as the "real time" gathering of information.
I can't vouch for those dates 1996 and 1997. But I can say that as electronic technology advanced, media decision makers should have done a better job pondering future developments. I know that reporters and columnists -- not at the top of the totem pole -- discussed the possibility of newspapers showing up on devices similar to iPads, and having newspapers printed at home electronically so that readers got the latest news, long before 1996 and 1997. Best, Don Bauder
Too bad that I did not go on some sort of public record around 1980, when I predicted that news in newspaper format would eventually be delivered on what I called then a sort of computer terminal. That way I could claim that I knew it was coming. But at that time, I had no notion of how soon it would be reality.
Strangely, over the past several decades, as literacy levels in the US were described as rising, newspaper readership and influence declined. Was it the advent of TV and the ever-uninformative TV news? That was probably the major factor. TV's proliferation in the 50's has been credited or blamed for many things. The membership in lodges and fraternal organizations in absolute numbers peaked in 1954, just about the time that most households got a TV set. Why go to the lodge meeting when you could sit at home and watch William Bendix in "The Life of Riley?"
To slightly change the subject, if Brandes made so many bad calls in his value investing choices, how is it that he's so rich, as in supposedly the richest in SD county? Is his fortune being overestimated, or is something else going on there?
I think TV is one explanation for newspapers' woes. Radio, too. But ponder: back in 1980, what kind of news did you get late at night over TV or on the radio? Zilch, unless there was a special event, such as the first Iraq war. I can remember that TV would have news of that war and the U-T the next morning would not have it -- in fact, would have news that had broken 2 hours before the major news event that TV carried. But outside of these big events, late night TV was just the same old junk. Ditto radio. Now there are cable stations, etc. with up-to-the-minute news, at least until about midnight. The morning paper is still woefully out of date by the time it arrives on your doorstep. But I agree with you: top management of newspapers should have pondered how electronics might change the news business and done something defensively. As to Brandes: he still has $47.8 billion under management. It's down from more than $100 billion but it's a good pile of change. Best, Don Bauder
Too bad that I did not go on some sort of public record around 1980, when I predicted that news in newspaper format would eventually be delivered on what I called then a sort of computer terminal.
Do you mean like this KRON news report, made in 1981!!!!
It is truly amazing to look back on this vodeo and see what has happened;
I believe it's widely acknowledged that Charles Brandes has, for several years now, ceased having any influence on, or significance for, the U.S. investment industry. The same can be said with respect to Charles in relation to his own firm (if his own court pleadings in his divorce case can be believed). Indeed, one of the major criticisms raised about Charles by leaders in the global consulting and brokerage communities spearheading the mass exodus of Brandes' clients, is his unwillingness to make necessary changes or adjustments regarding the dozen or so members of his firm's Investment Committee that is responsible for the firm's sustained underperformance and often highly questionable investment decisions. I believe that Brandes' 1, 3, 5, and now 7 year performance numbers are all under their relevant benchmarks. Faced with pressure and demands by consultants, brokers and clients to make changes to the quality and composition of this Investment Committee, Charles & Co has steadfastly refused – resulting apparently in the loss of approximately $60 bn in assets under management over 5 years according to this article. This misplaced loyalty probably costs him about $240 mm in lost fees per year. This is to say nothing of what this faith in the competence of his Investment Committee has cost his clients. No serious businessman ignores the need for accountability and allows such an avoidable collapse to befall himself, his firm and his clients. No serious businessman does this while smilingly vacantly from the society pages.
Had Charles shown such loyalty to his second wife Linda, he'd of course be in a better position to keep 100% of the annually dwindling fees afforded him by his investment team. If he'd shown such loyalty to his clients, he may not be facing such steep reversals. One wonders at what level of AUM his third wife Tanya joins his clients in the quest for "greener" pastures. In any event, Charles' refusal to effectively deal with the problems of his Investment Committee makes him the comic lead in his own personal production of "King Lear" with his Investment Committee playing, of course, both Goneril and Regan and his clients playing the long-suffering Fool. "O nuncle, court holy water in a dry house is better than this rain water out o'door."
I have always wondered if Brandes's commitment to Graham/Dodd has been almost a religion for him; he just won't give it up. This is not to denigrate Graham/Dodd. I am a value investor myself, but if I managed other people's money I wouldn't be in business long, because I am not in it for the short haul. I buy blue chips with good yields (almost always 4% or more) and well-covered dividends. (Obviously I am loaded with utilities.) I don't mind losing on the short- and medium-term because I like that income, especially when it's more than bonds provide. Brandes got into foreign stocks at the right time. His fund grew exponentially -- almost certainly too fast. Some money managers just have too much under management; their own size hurts them. This could have happened to Brandes. I actually started writing about Brandes in 1973 when I arrived at the Union. I picked him up in 2007 for the Reader. As his investment returns plunged and the portfolio crumbled, I have written a number of Reader items on him since. One last thing: I do not think it is wise for a money manager to own the most expensive house in the county and consume conspicuously, as Brandes does, showing up at Beautiful People parties.

On newspapers. I LIKE newspapers, but then I'm not young. But what I do like to do is sit in the cafe, surrounded by laptop zombies, and read the paper if the're no disconnected young people to talk to (the old ones just rant [though there are exceptions], and the middle-aged ones [exceptions, of course] are too busy meat-marketing). Then I like to take the paper home (or make notes and leave it for others), and go to the same piece on the web site, make a copy, then file it. I even print out some of them.
The newspapers are committing suicide (except the Reader?). They are vulcanized, sclerotic, even--at the top. At the bottom, the sacrificial lambs, the good writers and editors with a comprehensive grasp of what's going on. There will always be a market for talent, so you and Ann should be ok, but there's a lot of talent out there, and they're CONNECTED, plugged in, wired, even though they don't have a fraction of the connections you do. Even I used to get a free-lance piece published every now and then before the Great Flood of Submissions when the pimply intern could just scoop the latest thing from the top of the pile going all the way up to the transom. And they would print it. Or worse yet, forget the free-lancers and stick with BIG NAMES. Salesmanship. News? Turn on CNN and Google stuff. Crank it out and keep the resume current.
Newspapers are cutting themselves to pieces because they were not willing to transform themselves into the potential they had suppressed for years--a superior means (including the Internet, integrated with it) of being the Fourth Estate to whom almost everyone would turn, and a new way of putting buyers and sellers together. They are DRIVING their readers to the Internet, it isn't sucking them away.
That's an interesting thought. Perhaps newspapers are driving readers to the Internet. However, I am an avid reader of the New York Times. One doesn't feel getting stale news, because there is always an interesting angle. And there are always facts that other media have not come up with. That's true both of the print and online editions. Best, Don Bauder
C-Span recently had some talking heads on about the internal politics at NYT. You can probably find it on their website.
It's not that they don't have talent, it's that they don't know how to use it and to understand what the reader wants in terms of comprehensive, quality news service and watchdoggery. In this respect, the NYT was smart in hooking up with Wikileaks, but it remains to be seen how smart in how they did it.
Newspapers still are in a position to offer the kind of quality you and I demand (damn CNN--get it RIGHT), but in a more organized way. And yes, format has a lot to do with it.
Bringing buyers and sellers together is, for the moment, a "secret," but it is so obvious I don't know how they could miss it.
The problem is definitely generational. That's why some are holding out hope for the iPad. Best, Don Bauder

It takes more than a million to get a real trophy. A million doesn't go far these days. Best, Don Bauder
Alas, the conversation is drifting, but then, the eviscerated, glass-eyed nature of the trophy-wife (or husband) renders them unfit for life beyond the fantasy. It is a real mind-blower that this digression really does get at the heart of the matter.
The concept of the trophy wife or trophy husband is really degrading. Best, Don Bauder
Yes-I said I was going to buy one as a purely sarcastic comment.

These first few weeks with our girl have flown by. I've heard time and time again to savor every moment and that it all goes by too fast, and man is that true! I remember feeling like it would be forever because she would be here and we would get to meet her. Now, I've blinked, and three weeks have gone by. On Sunday she will be one month, and with just 11 more of those she will be a year. What!? Seriously, time slow down!
Below are a few pictures of the first few weeks with our little lady. Of course, there mostly all of her snoozing, because that's about all we do these days. Well, if it's daytime … there's not a whole lot of snoozing after dark ;)^ That grumpy face …. I love it so much!^ Tiny baby toes … I could kiss them all day longStill can't believe she is ours. We are in heaven!

An awesome field of 18 karts showed up at GVKC to set the stage on the 1/8 mile oval and once again the weather was perfect. Speaking of perfect? Max Wood, Spenser Schwartz and Austin Bradley all won their races in their respected divisions. They are all now 2 for 2 in the early season but racers behind them have made several challenges for the lead but to no avail. Its only a matter of time before we see a new winner at the famed winners wall. The racing from front to back produced some exciting racing from the drop of the green and the spectators on hand were entertained. This coming weekend is shaping up to be a good one again as the oval guys will have double duty. First they will run Saturday morning at GVKC and then again on Sunday afternoon as they head to the Sodus Microd club for a exhibition race. The GVKC oval crew will show their skills on the beautiful 1/10 mile oval and so far, 11 karts are committed. We are hoping to show the Sodus club what we are all about and in turn they will tentatively be coming out to GVKC towards the end of the year to show us what they are all about. Thank you again to all of the members and volunteers' who have helped out around the oval. We could not do it without you. Spread the word about the oval and see you this weekend.
Good luck to everyone.
Thank you to Bob Secules for the great article and pictures! If you would like to know more about the Sodus Microd Club, click here.
Some of you may have noticed our website disappeared on and off this week. Our host had numerous problems, and I have moved the site to a new server. This should be more stable and the pages will load faster.
Hopefully you enjoy the new look of the website. I try to take pictures when I am there but cannot make it every Sunday. I see a lot of cameras at the track… If you have information or pics you would like to see here, please send them to me. Thanks!
Race results for May 12th/13th can be found by clicking one of the buttons below.

Well, the faces thing is back, with a few more for you. I have been pushing myself pretty hard lately….
It is all about getting the pictures of the people that I meet and interact with now. I still love to take pictures of still life and that sort of thing, but I am really starting to feel that I can get so much more from my work by going out and taking pictures of people, face to face. I have a couple of new projects that I would like to work on as well, but for now my focus is going to be trying to get peoples faces. I am not really going to specify a type of camera, or a film, just whatever I have to hand.
To be honest I am excited and nervous about this all at the same time. It is a pretty tough thing to do and will certainly put me out of my comfort zone, but what the hell, I am sure that it will be a lot of fun.
So, here are a few more of my pictures of people in Japan, I hope that you like them. Please don't steal them or anything. Contact me if you wish to use them for something. You can see some of these on Flickr as well.

An era of Big Data hype seems to be waning as people in the biopharma game and other industries wake up and start asking tough questions about the value of unimaginable amounts of information. I'm reading a book by Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight fame in which he devotes a section to ripping apart Big Data and making a case based on historical trends that increases in data do not always equate to major increases in scientific progress.
Silver's book, The Signal and the Noise, landed on my personal reading list this month as I prepare to moderate FierceBiotech's "Big Data in Biopharma Forum" on Jan. 9 in San Francisco. (Register here, especially if you're already in town that week for the big JP Morgan meeting.) You'll be disappointed if you want to hear about magic solutions and panaceas from Big Data maestros for the grinding process of developing a new therapy. At the most, you'll hear from panelists willing to give Big Data a shot.
As many industry pros know, lots of data doesn't get you anywhere in biotech unless those data are actionable and scientists can derive real knowledge from them. So Big Data, including massive collections of genomic information, provide just a starting point for discovery of new treatments and diagnostics.
Nevertheless, large-scale data and advances in information technology have inspired the formation of companies and new ways of discovering drugs and other life sciences products. The jury is out about whether Big Data and IT tools for analyzing the information can speed up progress in drug R&D or even lead to new therapies for patients.
Last week I talked to Alexis Borisy, CEO of Warp Drive Bio, about his Big Data-enabled company. Backed by venture firms and pharma giant Sanofi ($SNY), Warp Drive Bio has had thousands of microbial genomes sequenced this year as part of a strategy to mine nature's medicine chest for new therapies. It's a bold gambit that has the potential to be a big hit or a big bust. Yet Sanofi, one of the Big Pharma companies struggling to boost R&D productivity, is betting on a winner.
Borisy, who is also a partner at Third Rock Ventures, is one of four experts on a panel I'm moderating for FierceBiotech's breakfast panel at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco.
We're going to discuss the different areas where Big Data is having an impact in the biopharma game, from discovery through commercialization. My other panelists include Lon Cardon, senior vice president of GlaxoSmithKline's ($GSK) Alternative Discovery and Development unit and an experienced hand at applying genetics data to drug R&D; David Mott, a general partner at New Enterprise Associates (NEA), who evaluates and invests in daring biotech outfits; and John Reynders, vice president of R&D information for AstraZeneca ($AZN), where he heads informatics programs that aid in drug research.
This promises to be a great way to get an idea of how both Big Pharma and small biotechs are tapping Big Data. In July, I wrote a feature called "10 Reasons Why Biotech Needs Big Data," and I believe that if applied correctly, large-scale analytics could offer value to drug researchers. But I'm a nonpartisan. And we want to highlight the promise and pratfalls of Big Data in biopharma. Join us by registering here for one of the remaining tickets. -- Ryan McBride (email | Twitter)

Pink's Hot Dogs has been in my hit list since the day it opened but mixed reviews and high prices made me put it under "low prio." Then husband asked me to try it because he loves sausages and hotdogs. Good thing Pink's Manila decided to lower their pricing a bit. This was the convincing factor for me to decide to give them a try. So we went, past dinner on a weekday.
|Pink's Hot Dogs, Shangri-La BGC
Some people have been raving about it, some would complain about the pricing and some would say that it's not value for money, etc. I needed to check it out myself.
|A look inside Pink's Manila!
Pink's, a hotdog stand in L.A., was brought into our local food scene by the same brains behind Wildflour and Farmacy. They've dressed up the place pretty well giving it a relaxed, street side dining ambiance.
|More details - a shot from the other end.
Unfinished walls combined with bricked walls, light bulbs hanging on power lines with pairs of Chucks dangling as well.
|Hello, Pink's Manila!
It will steal your attention from the outside because of this blue Volks Combi that serves as the stall offering ice cream and milk shakes c/o Farmacy.
|A look at the Bar area of Pink's Manila
The place was surprisingly huge! Aside from the tables in front of the counter, there's this area towards the side that extends a little more to house their bar and more tables.
|Menu of Pink's Hot Dogs Manila
Onto their food - they offer hotdog sandwiches topped with all sorts of toppings from chili con carne to bacon, onion rings, guacamole, chicken skin, etc etc. They also have burgers, fries, home made sodas, bottled drinks and an assortment of beer.
We gave the following a try ---
|The Holywood Legend for 280Php
The Holywood Legend - my pick. Pretty expensive for a hotdog sandwich! This is one of their best sellers which has Pink's famous chili, cheddar cheese, mustard and chopped onions. I must say that the serving of chili con carne was a lot!
|A closer look at this famous Hot Dog Sandwich!
A little messy to eat coz each bite will spill some of the chili topping but it was good! Soft bun, pretty good hotdog, meaty chili with a nice spicy kick, generous serving of cheddar cheese - not bad at all. It was kinda filling too!
|East L.A. Street Dog for 250Php
Hubby got the East L.A. Street Dog. Bacon, ketchup, mustard, grilled onions and peppers, pico de gallo (which is basically chopped tomatoes, onions and celery) - another best seller.
|Closer look at all the goodness of this sandwich!
This had lots of Jalapeno peppers giving it a really spicy kick! But it was good nonetheless. This gave me a better sampling of the hotdog itself - juicy and tasty.
|Homemade French Fries - 70Php as an addition to an order of Hotdog, 140Php a la carte
We also got an order of French Fries and for an additional of 70Php, it was a lot! I liked their fries though - consistently crispy and salty. Best to add with your hotdog meal rather than ordering a la carte which will save you half of the price.
|Berry Yuzu Homemade Soda for 160Php
We also tried their Berry Yuzu homemade soda. This was good and refreshing! I liked the touch of yuzu which gave it a citrusy finish. Not really value for money though coz for it's price, the serving was too little.
|Our super junk dinner!
Overall, service was great! They were quick to offer water and refill our glasses too. But then again Pink's is not a place that I would go back to because honestly, I can get a great meal with my 280Php. Maybe if they will lower down their prices more or maybe make their servings bigger, then I would go back again. But if you don't mind spending that much for hotdog sandwiches, Pink's is not bad at all.
4 out of 5 Stars for Pink's Hot Dogs!

Pest Protection & Prevention
Most homes have moisture problems of some kind. Wood-destroying pests, including termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and decay fungi, are at their worst, and often get their start, in places around the home that are damp.
Moisture can come from a variety of sources, including rainwater, leaky plumbing, and landscape irrigation. Here are a few important steps to take to reduce moisture around your home.
Keep your roof gutters cleaned out and in good repair. Gutters that don't work properly often spill water onto the side of a home, causing moisture problems. If you have tree limbs hanging over your home, install mesh gutter guards to help keep leaves and other debris out of the gutters.
After the water passes through your downspouts, channel it away from your home, rather than dumping it at the foundation where it will often seep under the foundation. Use a splash block or attach plastic tubing to the end of the downspout to carry the water away. Another method is to direct the water into subsurface perforated drainage pipes that are embedded in crushed rock.
trim tree branches well away from your home, and thin trees to let in more sun. Prune any plant growth away from crawl space and attic vents. Make sure your home has a good coat of paint to seal out moisture. Check for drips from faucets and pipes.
Finally, call us if you discover any of these or other moisure problems, especially if it has been more than two years since you've had a professional inspection for wood-destroying organisms.
Move-in Time for Mice & Rats
In the fall and winter mice and rats invade homes in record numbers, looking for food and a more comfortable place to spend the cooler months. The question many people ask us is, "How do mice and rats get in?" The short answer is, "Very easily!"
Mice and rats have an amazing ability to squeeze through small holes. A young mouse can squeeze through a hole smaller than a quarter. Amazing! And if the opening is too small, they will often make it bigger by gnawing around the edges.
Openings around service conduits like electricity and phone lines, and water lines, and water pipes, providing easy access indoors and between apartments. Dryer vents and gaps around window-installed air conditioner units are other common entry points. Rodents can also crawl up through drain pipes not properly capped, as well as under exterior doors that don't seal well.
Rats reach roof areas easily by "tight-rope walking" along utility lines and tree branches, by climbing up pipes, and even through gutter downspouts. This enables them to enter through roof chimney vents, cracks, around fireplace flashing, and through any other cracks and other openings.
Surprisingly, rodents sometimes are inadvertently brought indoors hidden in bags, boxes, and used appliances or furniture. And they sometimes scurry in through and open door or unscreened window.
Rodents are persistent, and they find many ways to get indoors. If you have these common pests, give us a call to professionally control them and address the entry points.
New Viruses found in New York Subway Rats
A team of scientists captured 133 rats at various places in New York City's subways, and used DNA sequencing to catalog the pathogens they were carrying.
They found an alarming number of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, but what was most alarming was the viruses they found-18 viruses that are entirely unknown to science.
The authors note that the new viruses have not been reported yet in humans, but it is possible that human infection with some of these viruses is already occurring. Because most viruses cause only mild symptoms, or symptoms very similar to other illnesses, many illnesses are misdiagnosed.
A few of the viruses stand out, including a new species similar to the hepatitis C virus, and Seoul hantavirus, a dangerous disease that causes excessive bleeding, and had never been found in New York before.
The study raises the question of how many more unknown viruses are lurking in rat populations around our country.
The Future of 'Jurassic Parks'
Ever since Michael Crichton published Jurassic Park in 1990 followed by the classic Spielberg film three years later, there has been a popular urban legend that blood-engorged mosquito fossils are common and that a real Jurassic Park is possible someday. In fact, fossilized mosquito are fairly rare, and even rarer are fossils of mosquitoes or other blood-sucking insects where there is evidence of blood in their stomachs from their latest victim-to date what has been discovered is only a couple mosquito fossils (one was discovered recently), a few sandflies, and an assassin bug.
Unfortunately being able to extract DNA from blood that is now fossilized is a complete fantasy. So there never will be a Jurassic Park, except at the movies.
Do Sunspots Affect Honey Bees?
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a phenomenon where large numbers of honey bees gradually leave their hives, never to return again, has been confounding scientist all over the world since the disorder was first identified and named in 2006. Scientist have thought that the problem could be caused by parasitic mites, various bee diseases, certain kinds of pesticides, pollution, and many other causes, but research has eliminated each of these as being the sole cause of the disorder. Lately research has been focusing on the possibility of a combination of factors as being the cause.
It's in the midst of allconfusion that a new study was just released in the Journal of Apicultural Research that points to an entirely unexpected culprit-solar storms, or sunspots. Sunspots cause fluctuations in earth's magnetic fields, and as it turns out, bees use magnetic fields to navigate by.
it is difficult for us humans to understand how important magnetic fields are to bees. It would be like if we needed to go somewhere, but our eyes were bound so we couldn't see, or a heavy fog made our sight useless. Bees use earths magnetic fields to help them know where they are, and how to get home. This ability, called magnetoreception, is also used by birds, fish, and other animals. The researchers found that bees subjected to different magnetic fields were less able to find their way home.
Taking this a step further, the researchers were also able to show that periods of increased levels of solar storms were the same periods as when honey bees losses were the greatest.
Sunspots may end us as only part of the reason behind honey bee loses, but it may be the key part that has gone unnoticed up until now.

The Advertising Federation of Minnesota (Ad Fed) has named Ryan McEnaney of Bailey Nurseries as one of its 32 Under 32 winners, representing the best up-and-coming marketing minds in the state. Since its inception in 2013, this award has celebrated the next generation of original thinkers that drive forward to redefine the future and those that aren't afraid to disrupt the status quo.
McEnaney, who represents the fifth generation of ownership at Bailey Nurseries, brings his leadership and energy to help influence and introduce plants to new consumers by serving as the Public Relations and Communications Specialist. With his role constantly evolving, McEnaney currently acts as the leading spokesperson for Bailey's three consumer brands: Endless Summer Hydrangeas, First Editions Plants, and Easy Elegance Roses.
McEnaney also secured Endless Summer's position as the first-ever Official Flower of the Super Bowl and is the driving force behind the brand's national #LifeinFullBloom media and community engagement tours. He recently expanded Bailey's horticultural content to include non-traditional publications like The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Architectural Digest.
"I am truly humbled and grateful to be selected as one of this year's 32 winners," McEnaney says. "We work in this industry of beauty, so to be able to help others create a sense of pride in their own gardens constantly inspires and challenges me to find creative ways to engage with our varied audiences."
"I am thrilled for Ryan to receive this honor because it represents the true embodiment of his constant drive to push the boundaries," says Alec Charais, Marketing and Communications Manager for Bailey Nurseries. "His passion for plants and joy to connect with people bridges the gap between generations of traditional gardeners to young homeowners who are just getting started with beautifying their surroundings."

Ahoy there matey! Looking for a cute way to serve goodies at your Nautical themed party? Well shiver me timbers, look no further! It will be smooth sailing once you see how easy it is to create these quick and simple snack boats with a paper napkin sail. This DIY is so easy you'll want to make an entire fleet of ships to float all the party nibbles from the galleys into the mouths of the skipper and every mate!
Tara from Spot of Tea Designs created and photographed this sailboat full of snacks! It's amazing what combining a few inexpensive party supplies can create. So why not drop anchor and stick around to see how to put some basic party supplies to new uses.
- Snack Bowls
- Play Dough
- Paper Straws
- Thin Wooden dowel
- Cardstock
- Napkin
- Glue Stick
- Scissors
To create the sail for the boat, glue a paper napkin onto a piece of cardstock.
Make two holes in the middle of the cardstock about an inch from the edge, one towards the top and one towards the bottom,. Slip the thin wooden dowel through this hole.
Add an extra pop of color by covering up the wood dowel with paper straws. Measure and cut the straw into pieces to hide the exposed parts of the dowel.
Remove the lid from the play dough and insert the dowel into it. This dough should support your sail. If it's wobbly, you may need to adjust the size of your sail to be slightly smaller.
Cover the entire dough base with foil to protect anything you plan to place inside.
Fill your boat with snacks. Consider potato chips and goldfish crackers for a "Fish and Chips" concept or Swedish fish for a sweet treat!
This snack boat is sure to make waves at your next birthday splash. Are you planning on setting sail? Coast on over to our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and share pics of your party vessels with us!

Acting Deputy Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank may not be getting the nod to run the department on a permanent basis, but it looks like it'll be a while before new boss John Bryson takes the helm. That's because even though Bryson's record is completely uncontroversial, there are 44 Republican Senators who have pledged to block the confirmation of any Commerce Secretary "until Obama submits for ratification trade agreements with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea."
The Obama administration favors those agreements, but has pledged not to ratify them until Congress reauthorized the Trade Adjustment Assistance program, a flawed but valuable initiative designed to mitigate the problems trade deals can cause for incumbent workers. Opponents of TAA, such as Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), have taken to arguing that it can't be reauthorized "at a time when this country is basically broke." But not only is the country not broke, the essence of the case for free trade is that it's positive sum. Any given deal has an adverse impact on some people, but the gains should be large enough to make it possible to compensate them.

Putting Up Apples
I wasn't even planning on apples, but I seen some seconds for 6.99 a bushel, and I couldn't resist! I picked up what they had available in seconds and added 2 more regulars.
4 bushels later....
A favorite around here and a great use for seconds. The Kitchen Aid fruit strainer attachment makes the job a whole lot easier.
We like our applesauce simple-just some added cinnamon before putting them in the jars.
Apple Pie Filling
Another favorite!
I was planning on canning the pie filling, but ended up putting it up in the freezer. I was just not up for anymore canning.
I tried a new recipe-
Apple Pie Filling
Dehydrated Apples
This job goes quickly with a kitchen gadget-Apple Peeler-Slicer-Corer
Unfortunately, these do not last long. They seem to get eaten, almost as soon as they get taken off the dehydrator racks.
They lasted only a few days!
Now that the apples are done, maybe I can move on into December. I feel like I am a good month behind....

What a great deal on those apples! I have never thought to look for them. Freezing apple pie filling is so much easier than canning!! Looks like lots of great pies this winter!ReplyDeleteReplies
yes, lucky for me they didn't have more!! I would still be working on apples :)Delete
I really need to get me one of those peeling gadgets...I agree with Liz - great deal on those apples!ReplyDelete
It is one of my favorite gadgets!! Thanks for stopping by!Delete
Oh now better late than never my Mom always said. This is going to be great in the middle of this winter. Hug BReplyDeleteReplies
It is true, I will appreciate the extra work later :)Delete
I love home canned applesauce. The goats love to get the leftovers too. I'm considering drying fruit for our pet rabbit now, for extra nutrition (apples are one I think he can eat too).ReplyDelete

The mandate of the Mono Nordic Ski Club is "to provide low cost high quality cross country skiing opportunities to members of the community regardless of age or fitness level." Sharon is also a Councillor for the Town of Mono. Sharon and Ross live in Mono.
So you actually live right on the ski trails.
Sharon: We live right on them. We bought some of the property that the trails are on. It connects the Credit Valley land to the land that Mono had bought, and we put our house on it with the trails right around us. We've been in the area for 54 years, and in Mono for 32.
Is that 54 years together as well?
Ross: 53 married and 54 together.
Well, I hope it lasts.
Ross: I came here to teach in the high school in '62, and Sharon and I formed a partnership starting in the fall of that year and married a year later. I'm from Chesley, North of Hanover area in Bruce County. Sharon's grand-father was my public school principal.
And he still let you marry him.
Sharon: My grandfather was very pleased.
I'm sure he was! So the club began in '85: was there a lot of interest?
Sharon: We called a meeting of people who were interested in forming a club, and we had well over a hundred the very first meeting. We established that we would have an initiation fee of $100 for anybody who joined, and that was sufficient funds to be able to completely cover the cost to develop the trails.
Ross: The trees had to all be properly cut where the trails were going, then we brought a grader in who was a Mono resident, a farmer, and we hired him to do all the shaping of all the trails. In one single year we went from a cold start, even later than this (May) in '85, and skied on it by Christmas time.
How do you determine where to put a trail?
Sharon: There are lots of people who design cross country ski trails. They go out on the property, and they probably have a lot better things to work with these days.
Ross: Don Ellis and I were the two coaches that had been quite involved in racing and coaching, and Don especially had contacts at the national and provincial level, and we were able to draw on some of them to come and help. A lot of it was our own knowledge of what worked and how to make things connect, but we had external help as well.
Ross, you're also responsible for grooming the trails. How does that work?
Ross: There are a number things involved. The club has a snowmobile which is used to handle the grooming of these trails. The grooming involves packing snow when it first comes, either with a roller or a snowmobile itself. And then after it's packed, there's a machine that puts little ridges in the base, and puts a classic track in — sets the two grooves for the track. Because of the seasons we're getting — we very often have warm days and then it freezes at night which creates a very hard packed surface — with that same machine, we can put teeth down on it, and it's doing a great job of making it possible to come back and ski after the mild weather has made conditions very fast and very hard to ski on.
Speaking of warm weather, I was looking at some of the pictures of your huge Family Day events, and there's kids there skiing with no hats, no gloves…
Sharon: When the kids first started to come out to ski, their parents would say, "You're going to be out in the cold!" They'd send them with snowmobile suits and those masks right over their faces, and after half a kilometre I'm ripping the kids scarves off and their hats off because they're sweating. They are in more danger of overheating than being cold.
We've pretty well educated everybody now, and they don't show up like that. We like them to keep their gloves on but hats come off and on, because if they're working at all out there then they're sweating, they need to release some of this heat not keep it in there.
As the spring comes along — it wasn't as wonderful this year — but as spring comes along, you'll see a big pile of coats and you have to go out and get those.
Ross: The only people we have difficulty with, with temperature, are the principals. And that's because they hear "wind chill factor." But we are fully sheltered and we're right close to a building immediately and the kids are active. Quite often we've had to talk to schools into letting students come out, and by the time they get to the top of the first little hill, they've taken their coats off.
I wanted to ask you about the school programs: Sharon mentioned that you have about 2000 kids, so how often does the program run to get that many kids out?
Ross: We have five days a week in February, March, morning and afternoons available. We usually get about a hundred day if the snow is good, and the school has gotten their classes scheduled in.
Sharon: We go out and teach a lesson, we have the equipment there — the equipment is there because of the school program, it was started by an elementary school principal many years ago. We got involved because the kids were out on the trails, they were all over, the teachers were unhappy, nothing was going right. It had to have some structure and that's what we provided. And we have an incredible number of volunteers, and also an amazing support from the town of Mono.
How does that support sort of live?
Sharon: The town of Mono allows us to be in the building in Monora Pavillion at no charge,. We're very careful with the building, we clean it, we take care of it. There's no cost to them for any of that.
We have volunteers who come out twice a week — we had one man this year who was there almost half the days, he's fantastic. We have a schedule of volunteers, and a lot of them go away and they apologize, "We're going on holidays, I'm so sorry!" It has worked extremely well.
Describe the trails for me.
Ross: We have quite a variety. There's a 3 or 4K loop that's the easiest loop, and another 2K, which goes on our property, which has very little hills on it, so we call that beginner level. There's a 4K perimeter that's an intermediate level because it has hills but the hills are not technical. And then we have the 7.5K, and that's where we hold our races.
The year before we came here, our high school team was at an OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) competition in Ottawa, and it had a hill that was so difficult and technical that nobody was able to handle it without falling. So the next year we went back and after we pre-skied, the students came in all excited: "They changed the course, they've taken that hill out!" I said, "No they haven't." Our team had been skiing so well because of the technical course we have here — they didn't even know they've skied right through it.
Al Pilcher was our first student and club member to make it to the Olympics, and he used to say that ours was the most difficult 5K he ever raced on, based on the fact there's no rest: you're always working here, going up hill or downhill.
Sharon: He was the first of three from our club who were in the Olympics: Al, Ron Howden in '88, and Lisa Patterson (Lisa was on the '88 Olympic team but did not actually compete; she did, however race in the World Cup in Europe).
Volunteers really are the backbone, aren't they?
Sharon: We've got some volunteers who go one-on-one with kids, because often that kid can't even stand up. We have several who are really good with the kids, very encouraging, very patient. And that's the two most important traits when you find a volunteer.
And it really is good exercise isn't it.
Sharon: It's considered the best. There was an article in the Star talking about the different Olympic sports, and cross country ski wins as far as full-body aerobic exercise it's the best
Ross: Balance strength, endurance.
Sharon: There are people with knee problems who can still cross country ski. Ross has kind of a wicked knee but he can cross country ski.
How about at night?
Ross: We have two kilometres that we have lights on, this allows the local residents who work through the daytime to either come for a quick ski before or right after supper. The trail is open until about 9:30 every night.

If you're travelling to Copenhagen, don't be as naïve as I was: think, before entering Jægerborgsgade. Do you enjoy flea markets, trunks full of blankets and pompons? You'd spend hours contemplating a cake baking in the oven, watching the rain trickle down the window, rails running away from your train? Just to be clear: In Jægerborgsgade you'll find none of these things. That said, if your answer to some of those questions is yes, by entering this street you'll take a big chance. Why? Because the atmosphere of this place, an alley that stretches for no more than 400 meters, could hold you hostages. If not forever, at least for one long day.
I ended up in this alley almost by accident during one of my wanderings: it's their fault if, after 10 months in Copenhagen, I still haven't seen all the tourist must-see places in Copenhagen. But it's also thanks to them that I realized how much I like getting lost and finding the way, and getting lost again, especially when walking around the Nørrebro neighborhood.
These days, Jægerborgsgade is my favorite alley in Nørrebro. And only after my discovery, I also found out that this street is a favorite of many Danish young people, that its nickname is 'Little Berlin' and that the shop owners along this alley are bound by the same philosophy: let's do things fairly, in a good and nice way.
Believe what you see, trust what you hear, but in Jægerborgsgade let your nose take the lead. Inge says that it's not her pottery that smells so good, but the balsa wooden boards on which the ceramics wait for their turn to be glazed. Careful with your backpacks when you enter the Keramiker workshop: Inge's creations are thin as paper, so thin that they almost let light in.
Across the street from Keramiker, you'll find Ipsen & Vigel attracting your attention. The Karamellieret sign hanging outside their shop doesn't need a translation to be understood, but if you still aren't sure what's it about after reading the sign, remove all doubts walking down the steps of this shop. Smooth and soft toffee will parade in front of your eyes: at first reacting with disbelief, they'll turn to pure joy when the owners of the shop will wrap some of that toffee in paper andoffer it to you. It's not so common to taste a fresh-made candy. My suggestion? Try the Bornholm liquorice ones too and forget the mermaid: only after this stop, you'd be able to say you have tasted a bit of Denmark.
After this sweet stop, cross the street again and let yourselves be charmed by an exhibition gallery so beautiful that no exhibition would be necessary to attract your attention. It's CMYK kld, where a printer is hidden in a washing machine, the counter in a vintage movie theater cash register and where chairs hang down the wall and are used as shelves. Were it not for the candies that fill your pockets reminding you where you are, the silver paint covering the furniture would trick you into believing you're on a '70 space movie set.
Mademoistella's strong point is vintage too, a thing she makes no secret of. Secondhand clothes and toys are packed in the two small rooms where you can often listen to Bon Iver, but the bijoux are my favorites. You can find them in the glass cabinet at the end of the shop. They're not that affordable – we're in Copenhagen, after all – but they're definitely beautiful.
And now, let's get down to brass tracks: food. If you traveled to Copenhagen, if you took the trouble to reach Jægerborgsgade and if you happen to feel hungry at this point, there's one place you want to try: Lyst (the Danish word for 'craving'). I highly recommend the Sunday brunch with pancakes, here. Pick anything from the menu (you'll find it in English and Danish, no worries), because the best thing at Lyst is the atmosphere that the open and colorful kitchen creates. Cakes are home-made, juice is freshly squeezed and tap water awaits you on a small coffee table. You'll easily feel at home.
Before leaving Jægerborgsgade, stop at Gågrøn (in English 'go green') to buy some eco-friendly souvenirs, at Meyers bageri for the world famous Danish pastries and for the only thing you must buy before leaving Copenhagen: the rugbrød, easy-to-fall-in-love-with brown bread which will change your life forever. From a bakery point of view, at least
How to get there: the map is here! From Nørreport Station use the bus line 350 S to Ballerup St and then the bus line 18 to Friheden. Near Jægerborgsgade you will find Assistens Kirkegård, the burial site for many leading figures of the epoch, such as Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard.
Enrica, born in Turin, Italy, ended up living in Copenhagen almost by chance. Always by chance she got back to her hometown after one year in Denmark. She has one small flaw: too many fleeting ideas. The ones which survive more than one day are so rare they deserve special care; among these is a blog written by and for Italians abroad (Cervellifuori.it). She loves to wander carrying around her restlessness and her camera, she has an addiction to Nutella and toast, or just plain Nutella. She dreams a lot, not only when sleeping. She devours music and TV series and maybe someday she'll write one. In the meanwhile she writes notes that she files away in the meanders of her hard disk, thus losing them. Maybe, she'll stumble upone them again in a few years. She loves surprises.

- This works best if you can dry your hair naturally, especially in the sunshine.
- Hair benefits most from lukewarm shower temperature and is damaged by hotter temperatures, so the best hair wash is one that uses only lukewarm water for the whole wash.
- Handle borax carefully. Do not leave borax lying around where pets or children could access it and swallow it - it is a poison when swallowed.
- Use only rhubarb stalks. The leaves and roots are very poisonous!
Things You'll Need
- 4 oz / 125g fresh rhubarb
- 1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers
- 1 quart / 1 liter (0.3 US gal) water
- 1 tsp borax (from supermarket, health food stores, hardware stores)

Quiltmaker's Scrap Squad, that is!
I was thrilled to receive an email this week that I have been accepted as part of the six-member Scrap Squad for 2014.
This means I get to make scrappy quilts and blog about them. Wait, don't I do that already? Yes, but these are extra special scrappy quilts. One quilt pattern is selected from each issue of Quiltmaker magazine. The Scrappy Squad members each make a scrappy quilt putting their individual scrappy spin on it. It will be so exciting to see what happens, because the only thing better than a scrappy quilt is SIX scrappy quilts that began with the same pattern.
I'm hard at work cleaning my way down to the cutting board on my work surface and changing the blade in my rotary cutter. Can't wait for our first assignment!
