Kiichiro Okano (1917-1995) of Suruga Bank (founded by Kitaro Okano, who turned 100 in 1963), opened a museum on 23 November 1973, housing the artworks of Bernard Buffet. The museum is located at Mishima city, Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.
Mr Okano's collection numbers about 1,800 (Suruga Bank website), and is the only museum in the world dedicated solely to the art of the French painter. Scattered in private collections around the world, Bernard Buffet created over 8,000 works of art (oil paintings, watercolours, engravings, lithographs, and sculptures), as many as that of Renoir and Picasso.

The Clematis Hill White Garden (in japanese: Clematis no Oka) is a "multi-cultural facility of art and nature" (the Clematis no Oka website), owned by the Okano family.
Although the Bernard Buffet Museum was opened in November 1973 and the Clematis Hill White Garden in April 2002, the premises is called the Clematis no Oka.
Aside from the Buffet Museum, other establishments on the premises are: the Literary Museum for Yasushi Inoue which opened in 1973, the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum which opened in April 2002, and the Izu Photo Museum which opened in October 2009.
Kiichiro Okano is the father of the current president of Suruga Bank, Kinosuke Okano (2008 information). It was the wife of Kinosuke, Taeko, who established the clematis garden in April 2002, after seeing these flowers for the first time on a trip to London (http://www.clematisinternational.com/japan200803s.html).

(By the way, taking photographs at the museum was forbidden and these were taken without permission… I'm sorry, but rest assured I did not use the flash).

Bernard Buffet illustrated Jean Cocteau's La Voix Humaine (1957).
Synopsis: A young woman is engaged in a telephone call with her lover of five years. He has abandoned her and is to marry another woman the following day. This is the last time they will speak to each other. During the conversation, we learn that the woman has attempted suicide. The phone service in Paris being notoriously poor during that era, they are interrupted several times during the agonizing conversation. — from: http://www.idimage.be

Kiichiro Okano met Bernard Buffet during the early 1950's. Mr. Okano, vexed by the war, was moved by Buffet's paintings. His works were a denunciation of the shattered society of post-war France. For Mr. Okano, this was a revelation. Buffet's art empathised with Okano's own personal feelings. — from: http://museebernardbuffet.com/

The following information is from: http://www.openart.com/artistas/bernard-buffet
Bernard Buffet was born on July 10, 1928 in Paris, and died on October 4, 1999 in Tourtour (Var – France). In December 1943, he entered the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts where he studied for two years. After this he worked alone.
In 1946, he had his first painting shown, a self-portrait, at the Salon des Moins de Trente Ans at the Galerie Beaux-Arts. In 1947, he exhibited L'homme accoude at the Salon des Independants and in December of the same year he had his first solo exhibition at the Art Impressions book shop in Paris, organised by Guy Weelen and Michel Brient. Raymond Cogniat bought, for the Paris National Museum of Modem Art, a painting entitled Nature morte au poulet.
In April 1948, the painting Le Buveur was exhibited at the Jeune Peinture exhibition organised at the Galerie Drouant-David. His painting was bought by Doctor Girardin, who, at his death, left it to the Paris Museum of Modern Art. At this time Emmanuel David asked him to sign an exclusive contract with his gallery. This contract was then, to be shared by Maurice Garnier.
In June of the same year, he was awarded the Critic's Prize at the Galerie Saint-Placide in Paris, in conjunction with Lorjou. In July there was an exhibition of his works at this same gallery. In November he exhibited La ravaudeuse de filet in the Salon d'Automne. This painting was also bought by Doctor Girardin and was also left to the Paris Museum of Modern Art upon Doctor Girardin's death.
In 1949, Pierre Descargues published Bernard Buffet at the Presses Litteraires de France. ln 1951, his friend Jean Giono left him a small house in Manosque where he lived for a short while before renting an ancient bergerie in Nanse, near Reillanne, 17 kilometres from Manosque. He worked there until 1954.
In 1953, Louis Aragon wrote, in les Lettres Francaises, an article entitled Le Paysage Francais a quatre siecles et Bernard Buffet 24 ans (Four Centuries of French Landscape Painting and the 24 Years Old Bernard Buffet).
In 1955, he was awarded the first prize by the magazine Connaissance des arts, which named the 10 best post-war artists. He met Georges Simenon who became his close friend. He bought property in Domont, near Paris, that he left the following year to live at the Château l'Arc near Aix-en-Provence, which was to be his main residence until 1964.
In 1958, at the age of 30, the first retrospective of his work was held at Galerie Charpentier. The same year Pierre Berge published Bernard Buffet at Editions Pierre Cailler, and Georges Hourdin published l'Enfer et le Ciel de Bernard Buffet at Cerf.
December 12,1958 Bernard Buffet married Annabel Schwob at Ramatuelle.
In 1961 he painted a series of paintings depicting the life of Jesus Christ, intended to decorate the Chapelle de Chateau l'Arc. Ten years later, at the request of Monseigneur Pasquale Macci (secretary to Pope Paul VI) he offered these paintings to the Vatican Museum where they remain on permanent exhibition.
His daughter Virginie was born in 1962, and his daughter Danielle in 1963.
In 1964 Maurice Druon published Bernard Buffet at Editions Hachette. Bernard Buffet bought la Vallee in Saint-Cast in Britanny where he worked until 1970. From 1965 to 1971 he lived both in Britanny and Paris.
In May, 1971 he was named « Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur ». In May ,1971 his son Nicolas was born.
November 23, 1973 the Bernard Buffet Museum was inaugurated. It was founded by Kiichiro Okano, in Surugadaira, Japan.
March 13, 1974 he was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
In 1978, at the request of the Postal Administration, he designed a stamp depicting l'Institut et le Pont des Arts.
In 1980 he purchased a Manor in Normandy, which he left in 1986 to live at the Domaine de la Baume, near Tourtour in the Haut-Var.
In 1986, Annabel published D'amour et d'eau fraiche at Sylvie Messinger, and Georges Durand, la Divine Comedie de Bernard Buffet at Desclee de Brouwer. In 1986, Bernard Buffet by Yann le Pichon edited by Maurice Garnier, obtained the Elie Faure Award.
December 9, 1988 a large extension to the Bernard Buffet Museum was inaugurated in Japan.

Ok, I do feel bad for not posting anything for the past, I don't know, years? lol. But I had a lot of stuffs in my plate and whenever I'm back to my room I just feel like procrastinating and take a nap and doing relaxing stuff (such as watching lakorns and running man and abnormal summit while eating pop corn from CU. But ok). Enough of the excuses, I would love to share weeks that I spent outside the blog, maybe later after I got my regular blog review posts sorted up!
Here's the review you've been waiting for : Innisfree Creammellow lipstick!

With the packaging that looks almost the same "Color Glow" Lipstick, Innisfree came with a new line for FW 2014 - The Creammellow Lipstick. Innisfree website kindly points out what is the difference between the two products :
I admit I had too much lipsticks already, but please, let's take a minute to adore the ROSE GOLD steel tube. When Pony from Pony's Beauty Diary showcased this lipstick, my eyes got caught pretty quickly to the packaging because it's simple, yet classy.

I admit I had too much lipsticks already, but please, let's take a minute to adore the ROSE GOLD steel tube. When Pony from Pony's Beauty Diary showcased this lipstick, my eyes got caught pretty quickly to the packaging because it's simple, yet classy.
The collection has a total of 10 shades, ranging from neutrals to some bright and vivid shades. I chose #3 and #8 because they are specifically pointed out as best sellers.
The lipstick texture is creamy, but to compare to a similar product like 3CE creamy lipstick, 3CE's one is more creamier and slides easier. The pigmentation is really great! It can be build on, or used sheer for daily use. The finish is glossy, looks like you wore a lipstick and a lipgloss! I was kinda worried that it will look super shiny, because the pictures on the website and on Pony's video, the lipstick look super shiny and it's like the lips just kissed a bottle of frying oil.
It is not sticky at all, and the overtime the gloss will disappear, I think the lipstick fades really beautifully, not like cracks and blotchy like that. And also the lasting power is nice too! After most of the gloss disappears, the color didn't transfer especially the red one.
Great pigmentation
Creamy texture
Glossy finish
Cool packaging!
Great lasting power!
Almost nothing.
Well, I wish they have more FW appropriate shades. Like plums and muted beige stuff like that!

Capitalism, Marxism: Twin Evils?Published May 15, 2007 Capitalism , Marxism 8 Comments
I was flying from Ohio to the Palm Beach International Airport yesterday and was reading an AP article in the Columbus Dispatch by Victor Simpson that I just had to post on. This AP article is dated by a couple of days now, but I think this is still relevant and current. The title of the article is "Capitalism, Marxism twin evils, Benedict says." The general statement by the Pontiff is that BOTH Marxism and unbridled Capitalism are responsible for Latin America's "problems." First I would like to state that the title of the article belies the body. The teaser title suggests that both Capitalism and Marxism are "twin evils" which means to me both equally bad (otherwise the word twin is totally inappropriate within the context of the writer's thesis.)
However based on this article and other broad swipes at Capitalism by the Vatican, I have to believe that the Pope is in fact equating the "dark side" of Marxism and Capitalism as the title of this article suggests, not just "unbridled" Capitalism. This is in my opinion an institutional attack on Capitalism in parlance with justifiable criticism of Marxism. Sure there are offenders on any "institutional" level, but lets talk the theory here not the abuse by a few. I am sure the Pope would insist on the same approach when discussing Catholicism as a religion and would like to leave off the table the digression of many of its priests with young boys and what I will indeed call an institutional effort to cover it up. Man is basically evil by nature (selfish) and not inherently good and honest. That is why I have said that I'll believe that the Catholic Church is forthright and stepping up to the plate on the Pedophilia issue when the Vatican issues some wholesale excommunications and defrocks a lot of these priests. I have seen I think one defrocked and zero excommunications, so thus I feel the Catholic Church is institutionally complicit here.
But let me proceed………. There is no way on earth to equate Capitalism and Marxism in the same breath let alone the same thesis. Every time you point to the "results" of Marxism, the hard core Marxists defend their philosophy by claiming that it wasn't implemented correctly. That would not be most times, but every time. But in a comparative analysis Capitalism has always triumphed over Marxism. You see Marxism doesn't work outside of the classroom, which is why apart from Stalinists and College Professors, there are precious few theoretical Marxists any longer.
Let's analyze this on the basis of the East/West euphemism. You have often heard of the Western World as a reference to Capitalism and Eastern World as a reference to Marxism. [Although there is a 3rd world movement among a group of countries that consider themselves to be "non-aligned" but who have demonstrated over time that they are more Socialist in sympathy if not Marxists, and their economies largely reflect it.] But it is clear that no matter how you carve the world, even in the most nuanced ways, Marxism fails and Capitalism prevails victorious. One of the most pronounced examples is Germany. Post war Germany was divided for years prior to the re-unification. The East of course was a bastion of poverty and economic failure while the West of Germany was one of the most prosperous countries in the western world. You could in those days leap all the way deep into East Germany and land in a city called Berlin and it too (as the capital city of Germany) was divided (by a wall) between the East and West. The West prospered significantly and the East was an economic basket case. People even surrendered their lives to escape from the East to the West. Now that the country is unified significant economic progress has suddenly erupted in even the Eastern portions of that country.
You remember the U.S.S.R. (Soviet Russia) before it collapsed under the weight of its own economic failure. This became so pronounced and such a great hardship on the people that even the old line Communists couldn't hold the confederation together. As a result there is no longer a USSR and their satellite countries went their own direction and embraced Capitalism resulting in their best economic performance since WWII. Yes there is a "conversion cost" of the change because of the years of abuse through Marxism, but it is sort of a "pay me now or pay me later" dilemma.
Let's take Korea. The North has continued to embrace Stalinist Marxism and the South has embraced Capitalism and as a result of fifty years of this you have a very prosperous and even economic powerhouse in the South (with the commensurate standard of living) and total economic failure even famine in the North.
In the Americas you have the champion of Capitalism (the USA) and the most entrenched hold out for Marxism in the world (Cuba). Cuba is a country that is trapped in the antiquated structure of the 40's and has made zero progress economically since then and has even suffered immensely under Marxism. Even Castro himself when he got ill bypassed their "internationally acclaimed" medical system and brought in a Physician from Spain to do the heavy lifting. Cuba's doctors make less than their cab drivers transporting tourists from Capitalist countries.
Even within the USA, history has proven that as we alter our tax and welfare laws in favor of Capitalism and Growth that our economy prospers and as we impose confiscatory practices of the state in this area the economy retards requiring new tax cuts to return the country to prosperity and create jobs for the workforce.
So in short I take offense that the Pope or Mr. Simpson suggests that Capitalism and Marxism are both parallel in their evilness. Capitalism has delivered the greatest good to the greatest numbers throughout the annals of history. Theoreticians time would be better spent trying to figure how to refine and implement Capitalism throughout the world if they really are concerned about world suffering. As for the Pope, I would have him focus on the breach of faith of his priesthood to demonstrate his bona fides before he starts preaching to the world on matters that he doesn't apparently understand.

One suggestion as an alternative to EU membership is the so-called Norway model, which would leave Britain in the EFTA (European Free Trade Area) and the EEA (European Economic Area) but return to her a good many other powers. There are, as it happens, a few problems with achieving this status in that Britain would have to rejoin EFTA, having left it when she joined the then EEC. Then she would have to join the EEA as a member of EFTA for which the agreement of every single member of that body would be required. These problems are not insuperable and there is good evidence that the present members of EFTA would quite like Britain to rejoin them.
The Prime Minister has already announced that he did not think the Norway option was the right one for Britain, basing his opinion on that old chestnut, "legislation by fax" though these days it would be by e-mail. Norway, this particular argument runs, has all the disadvantages of being part of the Single Market without the advantage of being there to negotiate the rules.
This argument, that will be used a great deal, is misleading to put it mildly. In fact the non-EU members of the EEA transpose a very small proportion of the EU legislation into their own, most of it having nothing to do with the Single Market. As to having abide by the rules of the country one trades with, there is nothing unusual about that. As only a very small proportion of British businesses actually trades with the Single Market countries (around 8 or 9 per cent) those regulations will not affect the others as they do now.
Most importantly, Norway controls her own agriculture and fisheries.
Nor is it precisely true that Norway has no say in various matters to do with regulations. The truth is, as we know from the state of play in fisheries, that a good many of the regulations come from bodies that are above or outside the EU. At these tables Norway sits in her own right while Britain tends to be represented by the EU.
All negotiations to do with fishing in the North Atlantic, as this blog has mentioned times too numerous to refer back to, are conducted by Russia, Iceland, Norway, Denmark on behalf of Greenland and the European Union. Not Britain or Ireland or Denmark on her own behalf. How bad is the Norwegian model precisely?
Discussing this and related matters in the Daily Telegraph Professor Iain Begg raises an important issue: not much is said about what Britain will look like or what her relationship with the rest of the EU, should the people of the country decide to vote to leave. This is, again, not precisely true. A good many people are discussing alternatives, even as we speak (or write) though HMG is keeping quiet on the subject. We know from certain casually leaked information that the Bank of England is certainly looking at alternatives and one would like to think that our over-lauded and over-estimated civil service is thinking along those lines though one cannot be sure. Big businesses are beginning to discuss the possibilities (and there are several) but it is in the interest of the IN campaign to emphasise that an OUT vote would be a leap into the unknown.
What Professor Begg and his ilk do not point out is that staying in the EU is also a leap into the unknown as we have no idea what it will look like in a year's time, let alone ten years or longer. After all, the EEC in which people voted to stay has changed beyond recognition in the years since the only referendum we had on the subject.

A DNA Exoneration close to home.
"Today, 16 years to the day after the murder of Pamela Richards, San Bernardino County Judge Brian McCarville granted the California Innocence Project's request to reverse the murder conviction of her husband William Richards. Finding that new evidence points "unerringly to innocence," Richards's 1997 conviction of murdering his wife in their Hesperia, Calif., home was thrown out. Richards was convicted for the 1993 murder after two trials ended in hung juries.
The reversal marks the successful conclusion to an eight year-long process. In 2001, Richards contacted the California Innocence Project at California Western School of Law, a non-profit clinical program in which law professors, lawyers, and law students work to free wrongfully convicted prisoners in California. He maintained his innocence in the murder and sought the Project's help in requesting a reversal of his conviction.
The California Innocence Project obtained new DNA testing on the murder weapon. Test results revealed that an unidentified male held the murder weapon and struggled with the victim. DNA testing on hair from under the victim's fingernails also pointed to another person other than Richards. This evidence countered the prosecution's claim that no one other than Richards or his wife were at their home on the night of the murder.
During the Richards trial, evidence was presented indicating that a "bite mark" on the victim's hand could have only come from Richards or two percent of the population. However, the testimony provided by the bite mark expert was based on incomplete information and poor photos. Experts obtained by the Project were able to correct the distortion in the photographs and testify that Richards could not have been the person responsible for the "bite mark."
The California Innocence Project also argued that fiber evidence may have been falsified by someone employed by the County. The prosecution claimed that a tuft of 15 light-blue fibers were found in a tear in the victim's fingernail. According to the prosecution, the fibers matched those of the shirt Richards was wearing the night of the murder. However, members of the California Innocence Project discovered that photos taken just after the victim's autopsy clearly showed no such fibers in the fingernail. After the autopsy, the victim's fingers were severed and sent to a county criminalist for review. Sometime after that, the fibers appeared.
"We have been working on this case almost as long as the California Innocence Project has been in existence," said Justin Brooks, Professor at California Western and Director of the California Innocence Project. "To say that I'm ecstatic with today's decision is an understatement. William Richards has been living a nightmare for 16 years. First he had to deal with the murder of his wife and then he had to face his wrongful conviction and incarceration for the crime. What could be worse?"
Jan Stigltiz, Professor at California Western and Co-Director of the California Innocence Project argued successfully in his closing that the case was purely circumstantial.
"Other than the fact that Richards came home and found his wife, there was no evidence linking him to the crime. These cases are hard to win," said Stiglitz. "But if you get a judge like McCarville who is willing to take a fresh look at the evidence, then wrongful convictions can be corrected."
Founded in 1999, the California Innocence Project is a law school clinical program dedicated to the release of wrongfully convicted inmates and providing an outstanding educational experience for students enrolled in the clinic. The California Innocence Project reviews more than a 1,000 claims from inmates each year and has earned the exoneration of eight wrongfully convicted clients since its inception."
I have only a few notes. First, good job Judge McCarville. It takes courage to make the right ruling, and he clearly made it. Second, how, EXACTLY, did the photos showing that the fiber evidence was fraudulent get found, and why weren't they produced before trial? The key piece of evidence that likely lead the jury to convict was the fiber on the victim's broken fingernail, that was likely from D's shirt. That sounds big to me. There are photos of the V's fingers, cut off after the autopsy, that show the fibers in the broken nail. Pretty damning. But, behold, apparently sometime after the trial the autopsy photos show up, and the autopsy photos show the fingers before they were removed from the body, and there are no fibers in the broken fingernail. In other words, the fiber was not present at the autopsy, but was there AFTER the fingers were cut off and sent to the crime lab. How were those autopsy photos not produced before the trial? Third, How was the DNA missed? Was this a case where the DNA wasn't as reliable as it is now? Was it too expensive?
Finally, how many times will this have to happen for everyone else to realize that our criminal justice system is badly broken? How many guys are out there who didn't get their case before a decent judge? Who didn't have DNA evidence to "prove" that they were wrongly convicted? William Richards is lucky that the California Innocence project exists, that they took an interest in his case, and that they worked their asses off for him. Too many times, I am certain, the wrong guy gets convicted because everyone is in a foul mood about the crime, the defense attorney is not on the ball or is overworked, the DA is focused solely on convicting the guy rather than doing what is right, the police are too interested in closing their books to investiagte properly, and the judge is too focused on making sure the DA gets a fair trial, rather than the D. The juries are made up of ordinary, but usually conservative, people who want to do "justice," rather than follow the law. Reasonable doubt gets forgotten in the shuffle. In other words, the entire system evades accountability because no one is actually accountable. And even if the right guy does get convicted, when corners are cut, we lose any sense of certainty that we are, in fact, being just in punishing this person. That isn't right.
I know that our system is not perfect. But we should not have such drastic sentences, and certainly should not have the death penalty, when there is so much uncertainty and unfairness in our system. I wouldn't want to treat those accused of crime any worse than I would expect to be treated if I were accused. William Richards got screwed, and it is our fault.
What are we going to do about it?

What a wonderful and tragic account of a trial, and a great analysis of why proper and thorough litigation is important regardless of the case being discussed. The willingness of some attorneys and judges to cut corners just to get a conviction is frightening; hopefully more cases like this will come to light and serve to expose this tendency of certain law professionals.
- Lucy Frost said...
There is a growing group of people -- most of us friends, family, and supporters of wrongly convicted -- who are joining together to raise awareness and press for legislative and judicial action. We organized a march on June 27 -- people marched on capitals in 18 states. A non-profit org is in the works -- for now, join us at www.freedommarchusa.org.
With over 2.3 million in prison, and expert estimates of 3 to 12% of all convictions being wrong, there are over 100,000 wrongly convicted in prison. No wonder the innocence projects are overwhelmed with requests for help.

Agreed....One of the most important goals in this legal system is fairness. Making sentences fair...neither too lienient nor too harsh, is crucial.
Thought you might want to hear about a case recently reported in our local paper. Illegal immigrant is charged with raping his 12yr.old daughter (this is in Valley County, Idaho- pop.9,000). Should be pretty easy, but it's a hung jury. Why? ineffective counsel. According to the prosecutor (The Long Valley Advocate, Volume 25, N0.23)"three jurors didn't want to find (Abacara) guilty because they didn't think he got a fair trial". The PD had been pulled over following court and could not remember what had happened that day...Bravo to the jurors- but what about the judge and the prosecutor? The prosecutor states that when you listen to the recordings "it's apparent that Mr.Wilcox (the PD)was not fully aware of what was going on" and goes on to say that jurors corrected the defense aloud in court when he misstated. My understanding was that all officers of the court have an obligation to insure a fair trial...but, it reminds us of the power of an awake jury!

FYI - I had to delete a number of posts. It had nothing to do with any offensive content or anything like that - it's just that they were obviously spam advertisements for stuff.
Please make sure to read my follow-up to this past, dated 5-24-10, talking about Mr. Williams. He's still in jail, and he is being treated for cancer. The appellate court has not decided whether Judge McCarville had the power to do what he did.

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.

First Trailer for Paul Greengrass' Utøya Island Shooting Film '22 July'
by Alex Billington
September 4, 2018
Source: YouTube
"The true story of a day that started like any other." Netflix has debuted the first official trailer for a film titled 22 July, the latest feature by action director Paul Greengrass. The film is premiering tomorrow at the Venice Film Festival before playing at TIFF, which is why this trailer is out now. 22 July tells the true story of the aftermath of Norway's deadliest terrorist attack. On 22 July 2011, 77 people were killed when a far-right extremist detonated a car bomb in Oslo before carrying out a mass shooting at a leadership camp for teens. 22 July uses the lens of one survivor's physical and emotional journey to portray the country's path to healing and reconciliation. Earlier this year, another controversial, eye-opening film about the exact same incident - titled Utøya 22 July - played at the Berlin Film Festival to positive reviews. This one looks a bit different, but still incredibly intense and harrowing and very horrifying to watch. Have a first look below.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Paul Greengrass' 22 July, direct from YouTube:
In Norway on 22 July 2011, right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik murdered 77 young people attending a Labour Party Youth Camp on Utøya Island outside of Oslo. A three-part story. About the survivors of the attacks, the political leadership of Norway, and the lawyers involved. 22 July is directed by English filmmaker Paul Greengrass, director of the films Resurrected, The Theory of Flight, Bloody Sunday, The Bourne Supremacy, United 93, The Bourne Ultimatum, Green Zone, Captain Phillips, and Jason Bourne most recently. The screenplay is also written by Paul Greengrass, based upon the book "One of Us" by Åsne Seierstad. This is premiering at the Venice Film Festival this month. Netflix will then release 22 July in select theaters + streaming starting on October 10th later this fall. First impression? Thoughts?

I truly believe that watercolor is the best medium for food illustrations not only for packaging designs but as well for editorial illustrations for food magazines or newspaper articles.

LANSING, Mich. — The state Senate on Wednesday approved a measure aimed at addressing the recent growth of groundwater issues caused by perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) throughout the state.
"Unfortunately, many parts of the state, including parts of my district, were included in these recent findings," said state Sen. Peter MacGregor, R-Rockford. "I am happy to see this issue being addressed and to see a bipartisan effort to find a solution."
This funding will enable the state to assess the size and scope of the water quality issues regarding these compounds. This will ensure that the Departments of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Environmental Quality (DEQ) have the resources to analyze drinking and surface waters for PFAS.
This action comes in the wake of Gov. Rick Snyder announcing the creation of the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART). MPART was formally created by Executive Order 2017-4 and its members have been tasked with finding a timely and comprehensive solution to the recent increase of PFAS chemicals in groundwater systems across Michigan.
House Bill 4320, a supplemental to the 2017-2018 budget, includes an additional $23.2 million to address the PFAS problem. This money will go toward response and mitigation efforts, laboratory and testing equipment, water sampling and other measures.
Currently, Michigan does not have the capacity to perform drinking water testing at the levels recommended by the DEQ. A portion of this funding will go to expand state labs to provide comprehensive PFAS testing; allowing agents from DHHS and DEQ to better protect the public and identify potential problems.
"Testing for these compounds is relatively new and only 12 labs across the country are currently certified to perform such tests," said MacGregor. "This supplemental is just the first step in getting our hands around this issue. When more data is available we can come back and reevaluate whether additional resources are needed."
Rep. Chris Affendoulis also praised the approval of the funding measure.
"Senator MacGregor and I have worked diligently for several months to secure this funding," said Affendoulis, R-Grand Rapids Township. "I'm thrilled to see both chambers come together to provide the much needed funding to address this issue."
HB 4320 will now go to Gov. Rick Snyder for approval.


text: CelticGirl Report post Posted July 13, 2018 Hi everyone, 3 1/2 weeks post-op and have lost 19 lbs. It looks like I'm settling into losing 3 lbs a week (last week and it looks like this week too) and I have to admit it's disappointing. I thought the average was 5-7. I'm 57 if that matters. I do an hour of water aerobics 6 days a week and am eating mostly protein. (on soft foods) Besides the two protein drinks made with non-fat milk (72 grams) I'll have a light & fit yogurt after my workout.(12 grams) hour later fruit. hour later string cheese (12 grams) was eating sliced turkey (on one meal) but after I went up a pound yesterday I think it has too much sodium. (I got the smoked. LOL) so last night I ate 7 oz of fat free refried beans at two intervals. (lost the pound plus one) Bottom line is I'm exercising more than usual and eating less than 800 calories a day and getting more than my protein in. Am I eating too much protein? Do you think it's my age? Thanks for your advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On May 28th, the International Day for Action on Women's Health, the Women Network for Health (Xarxa de dones per la Salut) invited me to participate in the event: "Proposal for Women Resistance to the pharmaceutical industry." The Xarxa's President, Margarita Lopez Carrillo introduced Teresa Vila-Forcades, doctor, theologian, Benedictine nun, feminist and author of "Crimes of the big pharmaceutical companies" and then different groups explained how their resistance was organised.
A historical review, to know the origin of this celebration.
In Costa Rica, just following the 5th International Women and Health Conference (1987), a proposal to celebrate an annual day of action for women's health from the Health Network of Latin-American and Caribbean Women (Xarxa de Salut de les Dones Llatinoamericanes i del Carib). The first day was celebrated in 1988 with a Campaign for the prevention of maternal morbidity and mortality coordinated by the Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) and the Health Network of Latin-American and Caribbean Women. Its objective was to report and ask for attention around the high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality especially in less developed countries and to ask governments to develop policies and appropriate legislation to address it. Since then, regular action is taken in many countries to support women's health.
The Barcelona's Centre de Cultura de Dones Francesca Bonnemaison hall was full of women and some men. Around 100 people listened to Teresa Forcades detailed data and analysis on how women (men too) can decide over their own health beyond what others have already decided for them and how they can also shape the health system to take into account gender in the way it works.
Better than what I can tell here, you can read Teresa Forcades's book "The Big Pharma crimes"; (Catalan and Spanish versions available: "los crímenes de las grandes compañías farmacéuticas",) or access the TV3 program" "singulars" (in Catalan) where she was interviewed.
Following her presentation several of the network groups discussed their experiences and what the role of the network could be. Among those present: Sílvia Espinosa from the CC.OO trade union (Comissions Obrerers); Graciela Traba from the Psychologists Association (COPC ); Carme Valls from CAPS; Montse Pineda from Creación Positiva; Evarista Garcia –Peña from "Labour is ours" (El Parto es Nuestro); Eulàlia Torres-Alba from Breastfeeding; Mama Samateh from AMAM,( Women Association against mutilation) and a representative from (Women Pacific Route from Colombia) Ruta Pacífica de Mujeres de Colombia.

What You Need To Know In Getting a Dental Plan
There are numerous insurance agencies offering dental care designs these days. It could either run together with your therapeutic protection or you have the choice to pick which insurance agency to get your arrangement from. Whichever you do, it is imperative to know first the nuts and bolts about dental care designs so you will have the capacity to settle on the correct choice and not have any second thoughts.
To begin with, let us see why dental care designs are an absolute necessity.
Having the correct dental arrangement can make dental care reasonable. Dental care could be very expensive however in the event that you have a dental arrangement, there is a path for you to get the treatment you require regardless of whether the cost could be very high. Additionally, the correct protection can help counteract sickness since design holders are generally urged to make the most out of their protection by heading off to the dental specialist for normal check ups. Along these lines, your dental needs are observed intently and any sort of dental disease could be identified immediately. Money related wellbeing could likewise be ensured by dental designs. In cases wherein mishaps happen and a man needs to experience quick dental treatment like medical procedures and different strategies, having a dental arrangement will keep the cost of the treatment down and the patient could get the treatment with less postponements because of budgetary limitation.
There are three fundamental things that are incorporated into dental care designs – preventive and indicative dental care, essential dental care and methodology, and real dental care. With preventive and symptomatic care, dental designs take care of fundamental dental costs intended to avoid dental illnesses or issues, for example, cleaning and general checkups. This is the scope consideration that is considered as the most vital on the grounds that it help avoids dental illnesses as well as on the grounds that it urges design holders to look for standard checkups along these lines influencing the most to out of their protection.
Essential dental care and techniques incorporate fillings, tooth extractions, settling chipped teeth, and other fundamental strategies. There are other dental designs that cover extra methods like root trenches. Real dental care, then again, incorporates dental medical procedures, orthodontics, denture work and other costly dental techniques. For fundamental and real dental care, some insurance agencies don't take care of the entire expense of the system yet just a segment of the administration charge. So for this situation, it is best to check and contrast distinctive dental designs with see which could offer the best scope on these sorts of dental care systems since they are the ones that well on the way to be exorbitant.
Another factor that arrangement holders could consider is the yearly most extreme advantages. Most dental protection approaches set a greatest yearly dollar add up to cover for dental care needs. On the off chance that an arrangement holder goes over that greatest sum, at that point he or she should pay for the surpassing sum. In any case, if at any point the arrangement holder does not amplify that sum, the rest of the sum not utilized inside a year won't be extended to the following year.
With all these fundamental data nearby, you will have the capacity to have a thought what to search for in a dental protection. Decide first your dental needs, check protection design approaches, and after that choose which will suit you best.

IUE-CWA 5K A Force Against Cancer Run/Walk
Posted October 2, 2013
IUE-CWA 5K A Force Against Cancer Run/Walk
A note from our October Newsletter
"As many of you know I don't personally write the newsletter anymore, although I have plenty of input, the good stuff that you read is no longer written by me. However, I do feel the need to take this opportunity to address something very personal to myself and our team at UAR.
Early this summer two of our staff members each had a parent diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Unbelievably, the diagnosis was within a week of each other. Tyler's and Nickie's families are doing well and are quite grateful for the support and kindness they have received from our community. Both of their immediate families have undergone tremendous changes, and this disease is not an easy one to kick, so your thoughts and support are still needed, and very much appreciated.
It just seems like the right time to remind all of us to enjoy life; enjoy the people around us…every day. The changes we have seen this summer have affected all of us at UAR!
All of our races and events through UAR benefit a charity. Most of our charities are not disease related. They are wonderful causes, but they are not supporting research to find cures for deadly diseases. Yes, there are plenty of diseases out there, and I am certain each one of us has someone dealing with something. I think it is time we all do something for someone else, pay it forward if you will.
Pick an event or two in the next few months or year that benefit a charity that helps fight a disease! The Heart Association, The Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Crohn's & Colitis, Alzheimer's Association are just a few that I have been involved with over the years. We all go to Ghost n Goblin, Turkey Trot, and New Years Eve runs, but do those events benefit anyone?!
It is time to make a stand and plan your races to help someone else. Every charity will be knocking on my door asking to advertise at the store, and not that one is better than the rest, or closer to me than another, but this will be hopefully the only time I feel the need to endorse something.
I certainly hope the rest of our team stays healthy. I am lucky to be healthy, that my nagging back pain is nothing in the big scheme of things! I hope you, too, are lucky to be healthy, count your blessings!
Our team from UAR will be participating in the Pancreatic Cancer Walk on October 28th, we would love for you join us to show your support for Nickie, Tyler and most recently one of our coaches, Lori, as her mom was diagnosed as well!"
Be healthy! Susie Stein

American Idol is by far our nation's most popular television program, and has been for the better part of a decade. Still, Justin Timberlake is probably a bit beyond the not-inconsiderable reach of the reality giant. THR reported yesterday that Timberlake and Elton John are on Idol producer Simon Fuller's wishlist for the fourth judge's chair following Simon Cowell's exit — can't blame a guy for dreaming big.
Deadline followed up today, confirming with an insider that the possibility is "just silly" due to Mr. Timberlake's busy schedule. In addition to working on a new album, he'll be promoting David Fincher's highly anticipated Facebook pic The Social Network this fall, with the comedies Bad Teacher and Friends with Benefits on the horizon. Oh, and he was offered the lead opposite Amanda Seyfried in Andrew Niccol's I'm.Mortal. That was worth one sentence in Deadline's post, but you and I need to talk about this further after the jump.
As a Niccol devotee, I last wrote about my hopes for this movie when the delightful Seyfried was cast in the lead. As a refesherer, here's a plot outline via Variety:
Time has become the currency. The rich are immortal, while the rest struggle to stay alive.
When a rebel from the ghetto is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, he is forced to go on the run with beautiful hostage (Seyfried). Together, this duo rages against the system, living minute to minute. They discover that love is more powerful than all the time in the world.
It sounds like I'm.Mortal will join Gattaca, The Truman Show, S1m0ne as evidence that a script from Niccol will never lack intrigue. And I adore Seyfried — couldn't be happier that she's teaming with Niccol.
If he were to accept the reported offer, Timberlake would presumably play the Aladdin-esque main character. I don't know what the role calls for specifically, but Timberlake has not yet explicitly proven he is capable of anchoring a film that's not 100% comedy. (A film that is 100% comedy? Done.)
I think he's earned the chance, though. When I drop Timberlake next to Seyfried into my dreams for this movie (preferably sporting a lopsided grown-out blonde 'fro worthy of a street rat), he's certainly no hindrance. Could even be an enhancement.
Timberlake's future as an actor has a lot riding on The Social Network. From his brief presence in the trailer, Timberlake's portrayal of Napster kingpin Sean Parker seemed cartoonish by design. But I imagine he'll have a showcase for dramatic chops (Alpha Dog doesn't count) in a David Fincher film. Should he pull it off… well, would a Will Smith comparison be trite?
*I tried to work this Southland Tales clip into the writeup somehow, but failed. Instead, here it is, with no real purpose.

Although no one is immune to sexual temptation, a pastor leading an online pornography addiction recovery ministry says that church leaders may be especially vulnerable to sexually moral failure.
Pastor Jeff Fisher, whose past secret addiction to pornography was discovered while pastoring a church in the Northeast several years ago, recently had his thoughts on the struggles church leadership might face in this area published on Pastors.com.
Fisher and his wife, Marsha, have shared their road to recovery individually and in their marriage along with resources for others struggling with pornography addiction on their Website, PorntoPurity.com.
In his post, "5 Reasons Ministers are (More) Vulnerable to Sexual Temptation," he writes: "Let me start off by saying, no one is immune to sexual temptation. It doesn't matter what your job is, how old you are, or how much time you spend with Jesus each day."
"We all have the potential to fall sexually," he continues. "Even ministers… and maybe, especially ministers. Ministers have jobs that automatically put them in a pressure cooker."
Of the five reasons Fisher writes about, he told The Christian Post that the most likely cause for falling for sexual temptation is that "ministers are often isolated and unaccountable for their actions."
"Isolation with no accountability is a prelude to disaster," he explained. "When we cut ourselves off from others we're shutting off sources of truth and objectivity. We lose the opportunity for fellowship and confession."
Fisher said there are plenty of examples in the Bible about "one anothers," Christians working together to support and hold each other accountable for their potential and occurring sins.
"Accountability can be personal… other men asking you key questions. But it can also take the form of church policies. If I have good policies for my visitation and counseling they can help me establish boundaries," he said.
"If the policies around the pastorate are regularly reviewed, that can be a good measure of protection for the minister. If you have accountability software on your personal laptop and on the church computers, it provides another level of transparency that is essential for maintaining sexual purity," he added.
Church leaders and others coming out of isolation and into accountability need to take the risk, and in order for them to risk they must have courage, Fisher said.
"We have to believe that the potential for sexual sinning is great, and the consequences are devastating. We will not take the necessary steps to come out of isolation unless we have a great motivation that drives us," he explained. "For me, it took getting caught, losing my job, having to move, and almost losing my family for me to get serious."
Fisher writes that the other unique aspects for those being in ministry that make them more vulnerable to opening the door to sexual temptation are the position of power, churches often having lax policies regarding accountability, and not enough trusted people to be transparent with.
Also, the fact that pastors can sometimes be "approval addicts" is also dangerous.
"Not only are broken church members looking for attention, but so are broken ministers," writes Fisher. "Sexual tension in a minister/parishioner relationship is powerful and deadly. It pushes the button of an approval addict and the needy church member and can quickly lead to disaster."
Fisher told CP that there are very good ministries where the counselors have training in sexual addiction and work with ministers.
He recommends: Pure Life Ministries (www.purelifeministries.org); Faithful and True Ministries (www.faithfulandtrueministries.com); Healing For the Soul (www.healingforthesoul.org); and Be Broken Ministries (www.bebroken.com).

I was sat in my Spanish revision lesson on Monday morning when I decided to check twitter (yes, in Spanish we are allowed to use our phones whilst preparing for exams). Upon reading any latest tweets I saw that Zoe from Bookhi had tweeted about the TFiOS trailer being leaked. So I sat there not knowing whether to watch it or not whilst two of my friends and avid John Green fans Jess and Kaitlin tried to persuade me to press play. I watched it later when I got home and I loved it. Then the official trailer came out on Wednesday and I was left speechless.
I don't really know how to describe how I felt. I loved how unbelievably perfectly the acting seemed to flow and the music fitted with the themes of the book brilliantly. The roles of Hazel and Gus have clearly been cast well and you could clearly tell there was the great connection and love that the two have in the book. If you've read my review of the book, you'll know that I found the novel both incredibly heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time and this trailer only strengthened this belief for me.
Above is the song played in the background on the trailer for anyone who's interested. There is so much that you can get out of this trailer that nothing is really hidden. You can see the pain that Hazel is going through and the clumsiness of their relationship whilst it is still kicking off the ground. It's just beautiful and perfect and I can't wait to see the film.

CHELSEA, LONDON – If you ever decide to head to the high street in Chelsea, take a quick turn down Bywater Street. The terraced houses are all well kept and each house has been painted in a pretty pastel colour giving the street a rainbow feel. I thought this pink one was fun, perfect for Barbie, right?
I loved this festive door. There were so many cute ones.

At King's House we believe in offering the children a broad and balanced curriculum which stretches and encourages them.
In the Nursery Department and Reception we follow the Early Years curriculum, with the focus on the seven prime areas of learning. We believe that this structure give the children the building blocks for their future learning. Even at this young age though Literacy and Numeracy are evident, and the children receive specialist instruction in Physical Education, Music and French.
As they progress through the Junior Department, and Years 1-3, Literacy and Numeracy remain at the heart of the curriculum, as the boys develop their reading, comprehension, writing, oral and creative skills, while on the mathematical side understanding number and problem-solving are key.
The boys have a broad curriculum which includes Science, Topic (History and Geography), Religious Studies, Computing, Art and Design Technology, all with their Form Teacher, as well as Physical Education, Swimming, Games, Music and French all taught by specialist teachers.
In the Senior Department, the boys continue with this broad and balanced curriculum. In Year 4 all boys are taught English and Mathematics by their Form Teachers and start to experience a wider range of teachers and subjects.
They learn Science, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Design Technology, Art, Computing, Music, Drama and French. In Year 6 they start learning Latin and all boys continue with French and Latin to Common Entrance or Scholarship level.

PAID Campaign Research Internship
Warning messageThis position is no longer available. Thank you for your interest in working with UNITE HERE.
The Culinary Workers Union Local 226, UNITE HERE's largest local union, is seeking a FULL-TIME PAID INTERN to work on exciting new organizing campaigns in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Culinary Workers Union is a national leader in winning justice and raising standards of living for service workers in the gaming industry.
The Culinary represents 60,000 workers, most of whom work in Las Vegas Strip casinos. Over the past three decades, the union has organized tens of thousands of gaming workers, tripling its membership from 18,000 in 1987 to 60,000 today. The union is also committed to representing its members through an extensive rank and file shop steward program. The Culinary has a diverse membership, consisting largely of Latino and Asian immigrants and African Americans, with women making up a majority of the union. Most of the union's staff come from the rank and file.
Here's what others have said about the Culinary Local 226:
"Culinary Local 226 [is]the city's largest labor union, an unusual -- and unusually successful -- union that has done a spectacular job catapulting thousands of dishwashers, hotel maids and other unskilled workers into the middle class. In most other cities, these workers live near the poverty line. But thanks in large part to the Culinary, in Las Vegas these workers often own homes and have Rolls-Royce health coverage, a solid pension plan and three weeks of vacation a year." – New York Times
"Now, courtesy of Local 226, [Las Vegas is] the only city in the land where service-sector workers in supposedly dead-end jobs can afford to buy homes, retire securely and put their kids through college…If the example of Local 226 demonstrates anything, it's that union density is the most sweeping and effective -- and likely the only -- way to bring middle-class income, stability and security to the lives of otherwise low-wage service-sector workers and their communities."– The American Prospect
"At some casinos, the worst enemy isn't a card counter. It's a unionist who dissects their financial failings to push for labor's goals." – Wall Street Journal
As part of the Culinary's Research Department, intern will work with campaign researchers and organizers on on-going campaigns.
Responsibilities include:
- Perform financial, legal and other research on employers
- Write and present corporate and industry analysis
- Participate in department meetings and strategy discussions
- Generally assist in on-going organizing campaigns
Qualifications include:
- A commitment to winning social and economic justice through organizing, demonstrated through experience with progressive/activist campaigns (familiarity with labor unions is desired, though not required)
- Excellent writing skills
- Strong analytical skills
- An ability to learn quickly, work well on a team, and handle multiple projects and tight deadlines
- Must have a car during the internship
- Oral and written fluency in Spanish is desired, though not required
The intern will be paid $3,000 a month. The internship requires a minimum commitment of six months. We will only consider people who would be available to make a longer commitment if they are invited to stay on in a more permanent position.
Women and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
UNITE HERE is an equal opportunity employer and gives equal consideration to all applicants without regard to sex, age, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

I know this is the longest blog title ever, but I don't care because it is awesome. It is taken from a casting note by American playwright Chuck Mee. The full note is here:
In my plays, as in life itself, the female romantic lead can be played by a woman in a wheelchair. The male romantic lead can be played by an Indian man. And that is not the subject of the play. There is not a single role in any one of my plays that must be played by a physically intact white person. And directors should go very far out of their way to avoid creating the bizarre, artificial world of all intact white people, a world that no longer exists where I live, in casting my plays.
My emphasis. I really like the mention that simply casting someone outside of dominant culture does not necessarily need to make some sort or directorial or dramaturgical statement. Audiences are far more intelligent than the theatre industry gives them credit for.
Mee's note opened a recent Jezebel article about antiquated but still very prominent casting issues for actors of color. Writer Laura Beck cites some of the more recent examples at large venues such as La Jolla Playhouse and The Royal Shakespeare Company. I've talked about these incidences ad nauseam with my colleagues and friends so I won't detail them here but please, please follow the link and read about them if you haven't already. Most theatres state that they have a color blind casting policy. However, as Beck argues, it's not really color blind casting if you are willing to cast White people in plays about Asian people, but are not just as willing to cast Asians in roles that are presumed for White people.
I really love this part, where she calls out the casting teams on their privilege and their relationship to universality and dominant culture.
The white men casting these three shows have never had to place themselves in other people's shoes. Because most stories are catered to them, it's possible they never had to develop the same imaginative flexibility the rest of us are continually practicing. You might assume that when an Asian man or woman walks in to audition for the lead, the casting people think "other". They could wonder, "How will the audience access this story since they're not a Chinese woman?" But in reality, many of us have been doing that our entire lives. It's possible that this might come into play in casting, with the end result almost always being: You want it to be universal, you gotta cast white.
I'm more focused on pedagogical research than I am on the industry itself, but I will continue to highlight these articles because I feel the need to remind all of us who work in or are preparing students for this industry that we are kidding ourselves if we think that simply because we are artistic, creative, and progressive, that we are not affected by dominant culture and are not capable of disempowering others through our choices.

Reach your full potential with Seven Star Martial Arts Academy!
Tai Chi Chuan (Grand Ultimate Fist)
Not Just For Fighters Anymore
Tai Chi Chuan (grand ultimate fist) is a fantastic boxing art that also lends itself to be an incredible system of training for senior citizens. The overall benefits that seniors can attain are nothing short of miraculous. In th e years that I have been teaching my elders I have seen amazing increases in balance, strength, agility, flexibility, bone density, and self awareness. I have ha students begin class lacking the ability to get in and out of a bathtub and in a months time have the necessary strength to do so. My seniors can stand on one foot for two minutes at a time and most can do full deep squats. Tai Chi is a natural weight bearing exercise that uses the bodies system of bands (muscles/tendons/ligaments) as a weight machine. All the varied angles that a students move through in tai chi acts to constantly change the fulcrum and therby the amount of weight bearing activity in the body. The slow, smooth motions allow students to hone in on and feel their balance and body changes as they work. The same benefits that work for fighters (inceased strength, balance, agility, awareness) works great for seniors. Below is a photo of Chatham County Council on Aging's Seniors Tai Chi Class. Classes are Mon and Wed mornings from 9:00-10:00 am.

With a guest list that included Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West, and countless other Kardashian-Jenner-West family members, one person who stood out in the crowd at Kendall Jenner's birthday party was her fellow model and friend Gigi Hadid. The 20-year-old cut a lean figure in a minimal evening ensemble that consisted of a plunging V-neck Designers Remix blouse and cigarette tuxedo trousers.
It was the cleverly chosen accessories, though, that really took her outfit to the next level. Her sparkling Jennifer Fisher choker was an elevated update on the much-loved '90s favorite, and the Emm Kuo mirror box clutch had a similarly polished vibe. Hadid's Giuseppe Zanotti chandelier stilettos made for a sparkling and glamorous finish to the look; chic happy feet, indeed.

However, it was observed that the gas distribution and, consequently, the cellular structure inside the polymer foams was highly dependent on the VP and BA proportions, leading to very different thermal conductivity values, even for similar volume gas fraction values.

These days sailors, benefiting from the advances in chemistry and rope-making technology over the past 10 years, can choose from a bewildering array of lines. The right choice of cordage for each application on board any boat involves numerous factors. The main concerns are: strength, stretch, longevity, cost, ease and strength of knotting and splicing, ability to work on winches and windlasses, and kindness to the hands. But to keep your choosing manageable, these considerations can be reduced to a discussion of the two main factors that influence the use of line: the construction method and the materials used to build the line.
(No longer must sailors make do with less than ideal cordage products for specific jobs on their boats.)
There are three main methods of machining individual threads into strands (called yarns) and thence into rope (or what most sailors refer to as line). Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Here's a quick digest of what you'll need to know to assess your needs and better understand the choices available.
(With the right professional advice, sailors can specify just the right make and size of line for the job on their boat.)
The fibers are of equal importance in choosing a line to suit a job on board. All fibers on the market these days are synthetic with trademarked names from chemical companies. And each fiber has special characteristics that make it well-suited to particular tasks.
(The construction of double-braid line like that shown here makes it uniquely suited to splicing for halyards or other purposes.)
(Fibers like Spectra (bottom) and Technora (top) offer enhanced strength, stretch, and weight characteristics.)
Getting Lined Up
Where and how you use a certain kind of line is very important in that line's longevity and in its functionality. For anchoring, mooring and docklines, three-strand nylon has the greatest stretch, nylon plait has moderate stretch, and nylon doublebraid line has the least stretch. Here are some other on board applications and what kind of line works best:
