2018 Watersport Fun Fest – Mayo Beach
by Mike McCormick
On Sunday July 1st BABA teamed up with several other sponsors to hold the 6th Mayo Beach Fun Fest. July weather was out in full force with tons of sun, temps in the very high 80's and a light southerly breeze. Everyone was looking for shade and we all couldn't wait to jump in the water.
Offering Taste of Windsurfing lessons is a big part of this annual event. It is always fun to share in the excitement of the 18 windsurfing recruits as they completed new skills – up-hauling, 180 turns, sailing position and sailing away. Their confidence in practicing these skills on land quickly transitions into a big challenge – balancing on the board that is moving all around in the moderate chop, raising the sail that has a lot of water on it, and finally grabbing the booms and sailing. Big cheers go up as new windsurfers meet the challenge by balancing on the board through all of these moves and sailing forward and away from the group. Extra credit is a graceful turn and exit from the board before hitting the beach or another group.
East of Maui (EOM) joined us again this year offering Standup Paddle (SUP) board quick lessons and free demonstrations. The demo boards were in constant use with a lot of people trying out the equipment and this rapidly expanding water sport. Mark Bandy from EOM also had a windsurfing foil setup, which a few people tried in the very light wind.
BABA and Outdoor Architects provided food and drink for the event giving the 80-some Fun Fest participants a chance to cool down in the shaded picnic area of Mayo Beach 3 and to connect with long time BABA friends and to meet new people from all over Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
This year we had over 77 Fun Fest registrants and drop-ins with 19 people participating in Taste of Windsurfing. Most of whom went into the water We were happy to meet a lot of new water sport enthusiasts from all over the world!

My wife Ann and I moved to Annapolis in 1991 having caught the windsurfing bug in central PA where the only sail-able water was at state parks with human-made lakes, which were drained in late September for flood prevention. We were over-the-moon ecstatic with all of the water in Maryland and when we found a relatively new group – the Baltimore Area Boardsailing Association – that provided races, trips and comradery. And BABA is still doing it some 27 years later!
It is always fun to get together with BABA friends and to share our fun sport with new enthusiasts.
Reflections on a Week at ABK
by Dave Turner
I was thrilled to be the 2017 winner of a free ABK Boardsports Windsurfing Clinic, generously donated to BABA by ABK owner, Andy Brandt. For those unfamiliar with ABK, they offer windsurfing clinics at most major US windsurfing sites and in the Caribbean, typically in shallow water sites to facilitate learning without all the climbing up on the board. I had taken ABK once before in Waves, NC, just north of the site of our Hatteras trips in Avon. While the free voucher specified that I needed to take the clinic in 2017, Andy very generously allowed me to take the clinic in January, 2018 in Bonaire. Here are some thoughts from that week: Continue reading
ABK Trip Report: October 2016, Waves, NC
by Leon Turkevich
"Release the front hand all the way."
"All the way?"
"Yep. All the way."
In fact, I don't release the front hand "all the way" as instructed, and the sail slams me backward off the board. Tom Lepak from ABK patiently explains that I fell back because I still had some pressure on my front hand which kept the backwinded sail from spinning around. I step back on the board and try again: this time, I do release my hand "all the way" by opening my palm and moving it away from the boom, and the backwinded sail effortlessly swings around in the fresh breeze as I step back into a perfect clew-first stance: my first successful lee-side escape! A few more tries and I got the heli-tack nailed. Now I just need to move it from the simulator to the water. Continue reading
ABK Fall 2015
ed note – I'm oh so tardy in posting this article – please don't let that inhibit any writers from sending articles for the blog. I promise to do better!
Since I have become accustomed to ending my year of windsurfing by signing up for the Fall BABA trip to Cape Hatteras, I was very disappointed to learn that a work commitment would prevent me from attending the 2015 trip. A quick internet search soon presented an appealing solution. I would attend BABA but only Thursday through Saturday and sign up for Andy Brandt's ABK Windsurfing Clinic the following week. This would get me a week and a half in Hatteras!
I'd been thinking about attending ABK for a while. My windsurfing skills had improved a lot over the past few years due to quadrupling my time on the water. I was handling more wind, had moved to a much smaller board, and was gradually improving. I did, however, sense that my sailing needed an intervention of sorts in order to progress further. Sure, I'd developed into a straight line windsurfer with a decent non-planning dry pivot jibe, but I wanted more, such as the Heli tack , back wind sailing, the duck jibe, and , of course, windsurfing's glass ceiling, the carve jibe.

ABK Clinic/November 7-10, 2013
by Tom Beckman
After hearing all the scoop on ABK clinics, I finally did one at Bird Island Basin, North Padre Island, 10 miles south of Corpus Christi. It was a bit chilly, 60's and falling in the water even with a 3mil wetsuit made me gasp. I have to say the clinic experience was no less than FANTASTIC! There were many great things about the clinic, but what stands out for me is the instructors standing in the water watching me(and the other 27 people) work on skills and giving immediate, to-the-point feedback. My goals were to get into the straps comfortably, going "scary fast"(which I accomplished), do a carve jibe, and light wind "trick jibes." Continue reading
Mayo Water Sports Fun Fest Exceeds Expectations!
About 100 people showed up for BABA & AA Co. Rec and Park's 2nd annual Water Sports Fun Fest at Mayo Beach on July 14. About half the people were BABA members and their families, and the other half were members of the public and new to BABA and windsurfing. Continue reading
Gunpowder Regatta and Learn to Windsurf
Your BABA peeps had a big weekend at the Gunpowder in June. Where were you? The threatening storms never materialized even though it was raining cats and dogs inland, and we had nice thermals both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday the wind came early enough for 5 competitive longboard races. The Formula kiddos decided to play rather than race and they were blasting downwind of the race course.
Big thanks to Jeff Forte for ably running the races from a kayak on Saturday. BABA racing is going green – no carbon except for our masts and booms. For the final race of the day we had a self timed beach start in rapidly increasing winds. Stuart Annapolis Wind and Sam Berry returned to the race course after a long hiatus. Welcome home guys!
On Sunday BABA's Learn to Windsurf took center stage with an enthusiastic group of newbies ready to get on the water. Storms were raging inland again but the bad weather was magically diverted around Gunpowder by BABA juju. Hal Ashman of Ultimate Watersports was the lead on-land instructor. I don't think the students realized that they were being instructed by one of the East coast's best. Thanks for being there for BABA, Hal! Winds were increasing through the afternoon so the LTW students had light wind to get started and a bit more of a push once they got their basic uphauling and sailing skills under wraps. I heard one exuberant student cry out "I CAN DO IT!" Congratulations to Janice E for continuing a tradition of well attended LTW clinics. Thanks to all the folks providing on the water coaching – Mark Windz41, Helen VG, Bill A, Coby and Dennis. Continue reading

Car Trouble
Having problems with your car is already a nightmarish experience, but in dreams vehicular mishaps signify much more than a looming oil change or balding tire. Vehicles often represent the physical body, yet they can carry emotional implications as well. Like dreams of a home, the appearance of the car represents your outward perceptions, and your inner feelings are represented by what's under the hood.
You might be driving a wonderfully looking car, only to realize the inside is a mess, or it doesn't function properly. This situation might parallel your internal feelings towards yourself. Sometimes in dreams about cars, you're seated behind the wheel and heading straight for a crash, this could signify feelings of powerlessness or a lack of control.

text: Ayr Posted August 16, 2012 Basic Principles: 1) Block the creeps path between way points (WP) 2) Use the longest path in the smallest area a) This allows for your towers to have the most time-on-target Advanced Concept: 1) Customize maze to fit specific towers 2) Make a multi-pass maze (one which the creeps have to pass through multiple times while making it from WP to WP) ----------------------------------------------------------- Basic #1 - Block Creeps Here is the location and order of the waypoints. The creeps spawn along to the top, to the left. They proceed down to 1, then 2, and 3. From 3 they move straight up to the exit. Lets look at what would happen when you lay a few horizontal lines down in the middle: So, looking at this setup, the creeps would spawn at the top, moving down to WP 1. With these basic lines in place, they would have to go thru them to get to WP 1. Then to get to WP 2, they would have to go back through. And to WP 3. And to the exit. In the end, the creeps have to go thru the maze four times to reach the exit. Plenty of time to bring some pain. ------------------------------- Basic #2: Condensed Mazing So blocking the creeps path gives you more time to kill them. But if the creeps are out of range of the tower, then what good does that extra time give you? What we want is for the longest time on target. To do this, we make a maze that is the longest path in the smallest area. Here is one of my first and favorite corner mazes. Placing a tower right above the waypoint gives a lot of time to attack the wave of creeps. With even a basic splash tower like fire element, you can usually kill off an entire wave using a single tower (early on). Move up to a AoE tower like Quake, and you can hit nearly all 30 creeps with one burst. Go to top Share this post Link to post

Still buzzing from author Margaret Atwood's keynote presentation, O'Reilly's Tools of Change conference spent the rest of Tuesday doing what it does best: offering up a slate of presentations crowded with knowledgeable professionals. Tuesday's panels featured a lineup of chief technology officers from O'Reilly, HarperCollins, and Reed-Elsevier discussing the future of e-books; a slate of booksellers offering the best ways to sell them; and a much anticipated evening keynote offering a "Unified Field Theory of Publishing," from consultant Brian O'Leary.
Atwood's presentation, "The Publishing Pie: An Author's View," was certainly the talk of the show. Atwood combined her own delightful cartoon illustrations with a wry analysis and humor—her comparison of the many life forms feeding off a dead moose in the forest with the publishing life forms that feed off dead writers has to be an instant comic classic—in a presentation that seemed to put the whole publishing life cycle, from writing the manuscript to social media, in thoughtful but humorous perspective.
Atwood took the time to look backwards as well as forward in time, using informal language and clever cartoons to offer her own theory of publishing and the proliferation of digital tools available for publishing today. Using an image of a sharp knife, Atwood said that publishing tools have three sides, the good-sharp side, the bad-dull side and "the stupid side: the side you didn't anticipate and whose consequences you didn't intend." This is probably a good way to view not only the transformation of publishing in the digital era but TOC itself.
This is not to say that TOC has a stupid side, but that this gathering of digital professionals may be just as useful for serendipitous and ad hoc meetups and unanticipated professional encounters as it is for its formal presentations. Even in a field that's changing as fast as publishing is these days, formal presentations can seem to be repeating material and exhortations we've heard over and over again. Conference co-chair Andrew Savikas alluded to this effect during our own informal encounter just outside the big ballrooms, an intersection of sorts that has become a kind of TOC public square, teeming with hyper-wired professional attendees networking, chatting, connecting in one way or another or taking a break from presentations. Asked if digital conferences—there seem to be at least one a month in New York nowadays—so close together have any new information to offer to their audiences, Savikas said, yes, of course, but also took note of the crush of people like ourselves, loitering outside the presentation halls and said that might be one of TOC's not-so-secret highlights.
Of course the presentations themselves can't be ignored. I spent Monday afternoon listening to Angela James, editorial director of Carina Press, Harlequin's e-book publishing imprint, and Harlequin manager of digital content Jenny Bullough give a blow-by-blow account of how to start a digital business within a traditional publishing house, in this case a romance publisher. James has given this presentation many times, which means she and Bullough can deliver a well-organized, detailed blueprint for how to launch an in-house digital startup. They covered everything from why to do so (good for responding quickly to trends in genre fiction, a fast-changing market), the need to fairly radically restructure royalty accounting, metadata, and revamp contracts. Carina Press ("digital-first, print-maybe," in James's description) does not offer advances, offers higher royalties (30% on books sold via the CP website; 15% on titles sold through third party retailers) and seven-year contracts with a longer copyright license and an out-of-print (yes, even for digital) reversion clause. Last year CP published 100 e-books in six months, and four of those titles will be released as print books through Harlequin in 2011. Other than James, the whole outfit is freelance (13 editors; nine copyeditors, and assorted freelance cover artists and production folk) along with a strategic input and support from Harlequin staff, which has enormous digital experience.
Tuesday's lineup featured O'Reilly Media's Savikas, Rich Rothstein of HarperCollins, and Reed Elsevier's Bill Godfrey on a CTO panel (moderated by Google's Abe Murray) that offered an impressive array—these guys are the cleanup hitters of corporate technology policy—if not necessarily a lot of new information. The discussion ranged over familiar e-book and app territory—ambivalence about enhanced e-book content like video and audio; DRM or lack of it; the ability of apps to generate data on usage (for the first time I heard privacy concerns mentioned about this feature); and the longterm advantage book content may have over, say, magazine or newspaper content.
It was much the same at the Bookselling in the 21st Century, an all-star panel featuring Harlequin publisher/retailer Malle Vallik, Brooklyn booksellers Jessica Stockton-Bagnulo of Greenlight Books and Jenn Northington of Word, and e-book retailer Lori James of AllRomance.com. For the most part the panel featured familiar exhortations—build community, get complete metadata, use social media, hold events and offer giveaways, get names—coupled with a few useful insights. But you can't put this many interesting and capable people together and not come away with something helpful. Greenlight and Word are both e-book sellers through ABA's Indie-Bound e-commerce venture and now through Google eBooks. Word "sold more e-books the day Google eBooks went live than we sold all year. It's a big shift for us," said Northington. Indeed, it was beneficial to see how small retailers view today's competitive bookselling landscape. Northington and Stockton-Bagnulo said they didn't see big online retailers like Amazon and B&N as competition. "We're not in the same game," said Northington; while Stockton-Bagnulo said, "we offer things Amazon cannot; like you can meet your friends at our store or get a book signed. People don't come to us necessarily because they need a book, and it's not about being the cheapest place to buy a book," she joked. "If it was just about the price, you'd never go to a bar to buy a drink."
Tuesday's TOC program closed with a keynote presentation by publishing consultant Brian O'Leary (probably best known for overseeing an ongoing study on digital piracy) called "Context First: A Unified Field Theory of Publishing," that new media folk on my Twitter feed have been buzzing about since he first presented the paper at the Books In Browsers conference last fall. At the risk of oversimplifying a very thoughtful theoretical vision of what publishing will or should be, it seemed to me he tried to outline the need for a publisher shift from a "container-first model," i.e., an industry geared to focus on physical books, to a "context-first" digitally-focused model, a model that by its very nature will produce content prominently tagged and coded for easy and immediate discovery online, unlike the physical book. It's a model O'Leary expects to dominate the newly emerging era of the "born-digital"—both the new generation of digital consumers and the digital-first ventures launched to serve their needs.
In an interesting convergence, the day's events were bookended by O'Leary's presentation and Atwood's, both offering a broad overview of a publishing industry in transition. Each presentation was enhanced by clever illustrations (O'Leary's were done by his son, Frank; Atwood did her own), and hard-won and practical knowledge of how to make publishing work, more or less. To quote O'Leary (and Atwood, a traditional author who seems quite at home with social media and the rest of the digital toolbox, might agree): "it's a time of remarkable opportunity in publishing. It's a challenge preparing for a new world and what we decide will determine what stories are told and who will tell them."

I love the padding and the fabric is really soft, it runs smaller than true size, my 7 months old twins wear 12 months clothes so I ordered the 12 months but it was too small, returned it and got the 18 months and fits perfect!
Perfect. Not too heavy or too light. Great midweight jacket/sweatshirt. Sizing seems to be true to size although she hasn't worn it yet. Was supposed to be worn the day we left the hospital but it was quite warmer outside than forecasted that day.
I ordered this for my niece who is expecting her first baby. She added it to her baby registry, and she loved seeing it in person, and so did I. It is so soft and cozy, and well made. I ordered the 6 months size, and it looks true to size.
My granddaughter was excited to get this. she thought it was super cute and very versatile! This fits my granddaughter perfectly. The hood was a good size and she actually liked having it on! Best little hoodie. I really think that this is a good buy.
Fit perfect for the little monkey. My Sister lives in San Francisco and it's seriously cold all year. My niece looks adorable in this and is warm enough in July in San Francisco. Great jacket, very soft and warm. Would definitely recommend!
Love this jacket. It's perfect for cooler spring and fall weather. Plain color looks classy. It runs slightly large, but that doesn't matter since it is mostly just layering. Plus you can wear it out longer. That is definitely a great bonus.
This is adorable and very warm. Really impressed with this sweater. Soft and thick. Can't wait to use when it gets chilly outside again. My little one will surely love wearing this durring that time. Wish they made this in an adult size!
I ordered this for my 18 months old. I love the design and soft colors and the material is very soft to the touch. I have washed it once already with no issues or shrinkage. I have not used it yet as it is still warm for the season but look forward to!
There could not be a cuter hoodie for a baby! Love this one! It's so soft and comfy. I bought it in the 12 months size and then bought the next size up because I loved it so much. It fits well - maybe a tad on the large side but that's great because you can get more wears out if it. Highly recommend!
Such a beautiful zip up for baby. It was for a 3-month old kid but the material allows for a growing baby, she's 5 months now and can still wear it without it looking small. I'm considering buying in the next sizes it's so nice!
Wow! So happy when this arrived in the mail. It is SUPER SOFT! Nice quality, perfect thickness - not too thick or too thin. I ordered a size up, so a bit big, but rolled up the sleeves and will have plenty of room to grow into. Might have to order the blue, too!
Excellent quality fabric. The only thing different I wish it had is a white hood string to be able to tighten the hood around my child's face. I might just sew my own in. Otherwise a good purchase and a good price for it.
Ordered hoodie to go underneath my 12 months old daughter for this year. Ordering the correct size was a little confusing because of the seller's description listing all toddler sizes (06m, 12m, 18m) so I wasn't sure I received the right size hoodie until it was delivered.
I was surprised by the quality of this sweatshirt considering the price. It seems thick and durable. I haven't washed it yet but it seems like it will hold up nicely. Great buy for the price. I love it and will order more.
Such a cute hoodie for my daughter! I realized we didn't have any coats for my summer baby after she was born, and so I ordered this and it's been great for chillier days! Great quality, definitely good for kids! Would be getting more of this.

Project Description
Our friend told us about the amazing program for new moms that MOMS Orange County offers. I have been taking my daughter since she was an infant. My daughter and I have learned so many valuable things. She is very social and loves music. This program has taught me to let her explore. It has also given her the opportunity to learn in a safe environment while being social. She loves other kids, music and art. The class covers everything for first time moms, to helping your child grow. The activities are fun and we even make cute art projects to take home. Our teach Gabby is wonderful, caring and goes out of her way to answer all of your questions. I would recommend the infant and one year old class to anyone who is a new mom or who wants time to bond with their child while meeting other mommies.

Brand Satellite creates logo design for new sports clothing brand Lismia.
Brand Satellite have created a logo design for Lismia, a new sports clothing brand.
Lismia is a sports clothing brand, based on a franchise model, supplying sports kits to grassroots clubs, universities and schools throughout the UK. All of their products are made in the UK.
Lismia is an acronym, standing for 'Life Is Short, Make It Amazing'. It was important for that sentiment to come across in the branding.
The logo design is based on Lismia's three core brand values: Success/Winning, Celebration/Amazement and Teamwork/Togetherness.
The 'L' shape represents the L of Lismia, but is also represents the arms of someone celebrating. The four 'L's create a plus sign, for positivity.
"This project became a personal mission for me." explains Giles Etherington, creator of the logo design.
"As a West Ham fan, I had to endure a couple of seasons of our club kit sponsor being Pony. For an east London club to have Pony emblazoned of their shirts, when 'Pony & Trap' is Cockney rhyming slang for 'crap', was hard to take as a supporter, let alone a player."
"I wanted to create a logo that players would be proud to wear."

There once was a wealthy, respected, and powerful man who fell in love with a beautiful woman. Because of his love, the man devoted himself to her and soon she fell in love with him and they were married. They moved into a small house and started a family.
After some time, the man discovered the perfect land to settle down with his wife and raise their children. The man began making preparations to move his wife to the new land. In order to prepare the land, the man would have to leave his wife for a time to build a house.
So the man hired two servants. One servant would watch over and protect the family while the man was away. The other would be there to help the wife around the house and look after the children as they waited for their new home to be built. Though the family for the most part needed to be stay behind, the man asked his wife to visit often to see the progress he was making, to help with planning, and join him in the work on their new home.
In the beginning everything went according to plan. The man made great progress on the new home. The first servant faithfully watched over and protected the woman. The second servant was a wonderful helper and encourager to the woman. And the woman often went to visit her husband and check on the progress and join in the work of her new home.
But as time went on, things began to unravel. The first servant became concerned with increased dangers and began discouraging the woman from traveling to see her new home. He even began to take pride in how well he kept the woman confined to the old house. The second servant enjoyed the time she spent helping the woman so much that she became jealous of the husband and sought for the family's sole attention. Therefore, the woman became afraid of the outside world and turned her attention away from her husband becoming content with the friendship of her servants. The visits to her husband became fewer and fewer until they stopped all together.
Noticing that his wife no longer came to visit and longing for her company, he decided to return to the old home to see what had happened. Upon returning he discovered how the first servant had confined his wife to the house and discouraged her from visiting him. He also discovered the jealously of the second servant and how she sought to keep his family from him. The man was angry with his two servants for their unfaithfulness, so he dismissed them from their duties.
The man also discovered how his wife no longer loved him and he was sad. But because of his love for her, he devoted himself to her once again. He took her back to see the new home that he had prepared and she once again remembered the love she had for him.
Whoever has ears, let them hear.

The makers of "Bigg Boss 9" are leaving no stone unturned to spice up the show. After four wild card contestants, the controversial reality show is all set to welcome its fifth wild card contestant Nora Fatehi, who will enter the house along with Giselle Thakral.
While viewers must be excited to watch Nora inside the mad house, here are a few facts about the Moroccan beauty.
Model-turned-actress Nora is originally from Morocco and is a self-taught dancer. The gorgeous lady is capable of choreographing various dance styles.
Not just that, Nora is also trained in martial arts and believes that her training will help her perform the physical tasks well inside the Bigg Boss house.
Nora made her Bollywood debut in 2014 release "Roar: Tigers of Sundarbans". She had also performed an item number in hugely successful film "Baahubali". Nora also made a special appearance in Salman Khan's "Kick" and Emraan Hashmi starrer "Mr. X."
In an interview with PTI, Nora said: "I am entering the house with a hope to raise the entertainment quotient. But, I will entertain the audience with my ability to do tasks and not the unnecessary fights. I want to uplift the mood of the people inside the house as well the viewers."
"My biggest strength is to make friends and I hope this will be an advantage for me inside the house. Apart from it, I am too excited to perform tasks. I love doing physically challenging stuff," she added.

BOSTON - North Carolina Senator John Edwards was in Boston speaking before a gathering of The Boston Bean Growers of Massachusetts.
The senator appeared to look quite depressed and rather distant.
He was asked if he felt okay. He nodded and said that he was fine but then added that all of this National Enquirer revelations had really taken a toll on him.
When informed that the publication was merely printing the truth about his relationship with Rielle Hunter, he grinned and said that only half of it was true.
He was then told that maybe if he accepts the fact that every single thing that the tabloid printed about him was in fact true then maybe he could get over being so sad, depressed, and downright funky.
Edwards half grinned and softly said, "perhaps."
The senator from North Carolina said that all of this has cost him his marriage, his house, his children, horses, dogs, cats, and three guppies.
Edwards shook his head and said that at the moment he was so damn down and has not had a date in months and that he would even consider going out with GOP skank Ann Coulter.
He said that he does not care if she does look like Roy Rogers' horse Trigger, to him she is as pretty as any one of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: It appears that old Johnny boy is really in one hell of a mess if he thinks that old "Giddy Up" Coulter even remotely looks like one of the Dallas cheerleaders.]
Edwards was asked if he ever talks to Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who had an affair with a woman from Argentina, that ended up destroying his marriage.
John shook his head and then said, "Now, why in the world, why in the friggin world? would I even want to associate with a no good, low-life, adulterous, piece of ocean bottom scum like Marky?
The senator caught himself, laughed, and said, "Hey y'all I rest my case."
In other news. There is no truth to the rumor which started in Maryland and has now moved into Pennsylvania and West Virginia that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are each leaving their respective spouses and plan to get married on the Spanish Island of Majorca.

The law on unmarried couples is quite different to the law on married couples. There is no such status as a common law spouse. The basic rule is that you are treated in a similar way as if two flatmates decided they were going to move out – so that starting point is basically that you take out of the situation what you brought into it.
Cohabitation Agreements
It is advisable for couples who live together without marrying or registering a Civil Partnership to seriously consider the making of a properly drawn up agreement, particularly if you have children.
Cohabitation Agreements are being increasingly taken into account by the Court at the end of a relationship or death of a partner, as an indication of the couple's intentions regarding their assets.
Declaration of Trust
When buying a property you also need to consider a Declaration of Trust (also called a Trust Deed). This is a statement, which indicates whether the property is to be held in equal or unequal shares. The declaration makes it clear how much property is owned by whom and states the contributions made by each person at the time of purchase. It also records what is to happen to the sale proceeds when the property is sold. As a further option the document can contain a right of first refusal in the event of one party wishing to dispose of their share in the property.

Shotengai is a Japanese neighborhood's shopping street. Usually connected or located within the vicinity of a train station, it is a cluster of mom and pop shops, convenience stores, local businesses, cafés, and eateries that mostly cater to the residents of the surrounding locale. It is worlds away from the glamor and wow factor of Japan's modern shopping malls, but on the other hand, it more than compensates with its local charm, the feeling of community, and the opportunity to get a glimpse of everyday life. Strolling along these alleys, visitors can eat and shop as locals would, and experience a side of Japan that many tourists miss out on.
Being the densely-populated capital city that it is, Tokyo is, of course, home to a great number of shotengai. If your travel style is to really immerse in the local culture, a trip to a shotengai is a must. Find your way to any one of these 10 best shotengai shopping streets in Tokyo.
Togoshi Ginza Shopping Street
Starting with the longest shopping street not just in Tokyo, but also in the entire Kanto Region, Togoshi Ginza Shotengai in Shinagawa spans 1.3 kilometers with more than 400 establishments to fill your curiosity. Of these, be sure to keep your eye on some of this street's popular food haunts: Goto Kamaboko's oden croquette, Nakamura Chushoten's meat croquettes, and Tori & Deli's karaage chicken dishes. Don't be guilty to try as much street food as you like; you'll need the energy exploring this massive shotengai!

Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street
Drop by Yanaka Ginza Shotengai for a trip down memory lane. This shotengai is as traditional as it can be, especially with its atmosphere that feels like you're transported back to Tokyo during the mid-20th century. It is packed with around 70 shops, some of which sell souvenir-worthy items like quirky Japanese seals by Shinimo Gurui, bamboo crafts by Midoriya, and Japanese clogs called Geta by Hamamatsuya. At the same time, accompany your stroll with sweet and savory treats such as menchikatsu meat croquettes from Niku No Sato or cat-shaped taiyaki from Manekiya. If you happen to be in the area around sunset, find your way to the stairs near the eastern entrance of the shopping street. This spot offers a scenic view of the bustling shotengai below and the neighborhood around it.

Ueno Ameyoko Shopping Street
Ameyoko Shopping Street in Ueno is one of the most popular shotengai in all of Japan. It is known for discount shopping, a very downtown vibe, and packed crowds from day 'til night. It used to be a black market area, hence, part of its charm is its somewhat rowdy atmosphere. It is colorful, lively, and most of all, welcoming of anyone seeking for an adventure. Top things to do when visiting this shotengai are sampling its street food, having a drink at an izakaya, and shopping for bargains. To give you a headstart, some of the recommended stalls worth seeking out are Minatoya Shokuhin for its takoyaki and seafood donburi (rice bowl), Motsuyaki Daitoryo for drinks, and Shimura Shoten for chocolate bargain shopping!

Asakusa Nakamise-Dori Shopping Street
Nakamise-dori Shopping Street is perhaps the most well-known shotengai especially among visiting tourists in Japan. It is the market street that leads directly to Sensoji Temple – Tokyo's oldest and most visited one, and at 250 meters long, it is lined with around 90 stalls selling mostly traditional items good for souvenirs like chopsticks, yukata, geta, and old-school toys. When it comes to food, treat the trip to Nakamise-dori also as an opportunity to sample popular traditional treats like Azuma's kibidango (soft mochi on sticks coated with kinako powder), Kokonoe's age-manju (sweet deep-fried cakes with filling), and Asakusa Chochin's ice cream monaka (mochi wafers with filling).

Sunamachi Ginza Shopping Street
Sunamachi Ginza Shotengai is the opposite of Nakamise-dori Shopping Street in the sense that it is very low-key and incredibly local. It is possible that you might not run into another tourist during your visit as it is a little bit out of the way of the usual tourist spots, but it is definitely worth the trip if you love the adventure of hunting down good food. To those in the know, Sunamachi Ginza is a delicatessen destination, where many of the shops are family-run establishments with generations-old secret recipes. A few insider tips: Shop for popular Japanese side dishes at Someya, fermented food at Sano Miso, or Okinawa-style foodstuff at Okinawa-kan.

Sugamo Jizo-Dori Shopping Street
This shotengai is cutely called the Harajuku for grannies because most of the stores in this 800-meter long shopping street cater to their age demographic. The area is also known for the Togenzi Junko statue – believed to be a healer of ailments, and for shops that sell traditional Japanese remedies and traditional sweets, especially Shio-Daifuku (slightly salted mochi with azuki bean paste).
Address: 3 Chome-18 Sugamo, Toshima-ku, Tokyo
Website: http://sugamo.or.jp/ (Japanese only)
Nakano Sunmall Shopping Street
There's nothing too grand about Nakano Sunmall Shopping Street, but if you are so curious about getting a glimpse of what everyday life looks like for a common Tokyoite, this place should be a good starting point. Nakano, located west of Shinjuku, is one of the city's densely populated neighborhoods, and its most famous shotengai is the daily backdrop of its commuting residents. The said shopping street is a 225 meter covered pedestrian arcade that runs from the north exit of the train station to the entrance of another local landmark made famous for its otaku culture – the Nakano Broadway. It has its share of independent shops and chain stores for cheap eats and bargain shopping. Interesting stops you might want to seek when in the area include Washiya – a store that sells mouthwatering bento meals, and Umeya – a small snack shop famous for their shaved ice dessert.

Musashi Koyama Shopping Street PALM
At 800 meters long, this shopping street in Shinagawa has the bragging rights for being the longest covered shotengai in Tokyo. Like Nakano Sunmall Shopping Street, the vibe here is very locals-oriented, and is likewise a mix of familiar shops interspersed with mom-and-pops and unique hole-in-the-walls. You will never run out of things to see, browse, buy, and eat here. At the southern entrance, you will already be greeted by the appetizing smell of Toriyu's sizzling chicken skewers, while on the other hand, if you're quite the sweet tooth, Osama to Strawberry Café offers a very big challenge – a 60cm tall and 3.5kg heavy ice cream parfait! Can you handle it?

Happy Road Ohyama Shopping Street
If you're looking for something more laid back, then Happy Road Ohyama Shotengai in Itabashi ward should do the trick. As it caters to a smaller neighborhood, it does not get too crowded compared to the other shopping streets mentioned in this list. Not to say that it's less interesting, though. In fact, this community of around 200+ stores prides itself for having a high concentration of family-run businesses – many of which are run by third and fourth generation local families. Suffice to say, making a trip to this area guarantees a unique experience, one way or another. Starting with food finds: Arai is well-known for it katsu, K's Kitchen for its sandwiches, and Shudokudo for its traditional Japanese sweets.

Kichijoji Sunroad Shopping Street
Kichijoji may be a suburban neighborhood, but it is quickly gaining popularity as one of Tokyo's up and coming locales. Surrounded by college campuses, it is a favorite hang out place for the city's younger crowd with hipster sensibilities. Hence, it is a place where you can expect to find a good number of independent bars and cafés, shops selling artisanal products, and boutiques run by local designers. Kichijoji's shopping district is actually a network of streets within the vicinity of the train station, but what's considered the main artery and representative of the neighborhood is the Kichijoji Sun Road. It is hard to pick out stand out stores as there are too many interesting ones, but if you need a companion while exploring, go pick up a menchikatsu at Meat Shop Sato, or some sweet treats at Okashi no Machioka.

LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank are expected to deliver sharply contrasting policy decisions next month, reflecting how the world's two largest economies have moved from the Great Recession to the Great Divide.
The U.S. and euro zone central banks have been on a similar path of monetary easing since the financial and economic crisis of 2007-09. But the Fed is now poised for "liftoff", delivering its first rise in interest rates for almost a decade, while the ECB is expected to flood the market with more deflation-busting stimulus.
These expectations are clearly shown in financial markets. The dollar and short-term U.S. bond yields have soared, while the euro and short-term euro zone bond yields have plunged.
The gap between benchmark two-year U.S. and euro zone yields is its widest since 2006 - the two-year German yield is -0.42 percent while the U.S. yield is just under 1 percent - and the dollar's value against a basket of currencies is within a whisker of a peak not seen since 2003.
The euro is on track for its biggest annual loss since the year of its launch in 1999. It is down 8.5 percent on a trade-weighted basis so far in 2015 and many analysts expect it to crash through parity with the dollar next year. Analysts at Goldman Sachs predict a new low of $0.80 in 2017.
It's rarely been cheaper for companies to raise cash in euros but the cost of swapping those funds into dollars, the so-called basis swap rate, is the highest since mid-2012.
The policy divergence reflects the contrasting outlooks; the Fed appears to believe the U.S. economy has recovered sufficiently from the crisis and no longer warrants emergency-level interest rates of zero, while the ECB feels yet more stimulus is needed to battle deflation.
The ECB is one of 43 central banks to have eased policy this year when it launched its 1 trillion euro "quantitative easing" (QE) programme of bond-buying in March.
Economists expect the ECB to extend and expand QE, and cut the deposit rate even further below zero on Thursday, as policymakers attempt to get inflation from around zero currently back up to target just under 2 percent.
Futures markets are pricing in a 77-percent probability the Fed will raise rates at a Dec. 15-16 meeting. When it comes to the Fed and market expectations, that's pretty close to being a nailed-on certainty.
The one big unknown is how aggressively the Fed raise rates, a crucial factor in determining how far the U.S.-euro divergence will go.
It's a similar story with the ECB. President Mario Draghi will have to pull off something spectacular next week to surprise investors who have high expectations for new policy measures to stimulate the euro zone economy.
One side effect of the dollar's charge higher since the middle of last year has been the collapse of oil and metal prices. Platinum, for example, is at its lowest level in seven years.
These commodities are priced in dollars, so are often inversely correlated to the greenback's performance.
As the dollar rises, so commodities fall, which puts downward pressure on inflation, which spurs more easing from the ECB and other central banks, which lifts the dollar ... and so on. It's a tough cycle to break.
Below are some links to charts showing the extent to which investors are pricing in the growing Fed-ECB divergence.

Re: Types of atheism
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2016 7:27 pm
My understanding of Christian Atheists upon visiting a website many years ago, and that is generally what they said they advocated -- moral teachings of Christ minus God.Kenny wrote:So are you saying a Christian atheist is one who follows the philosophical teachings of Jesus, but do not worship him or any other deity as God?B. W. wrote:What began in jest, well, let's see what folks think of these articles:
In the early church history, yes Christians were called atheist:
Christians are Atheists
Later that cold ecumenicalism crept in philosophic realms of Christian thought in the 1700 time frame and then into full gear, especially after World War One, and thus what you have is... a sort of liberal Unitarian belief system...
Christian atheism is a theological position in which the belief in the transcendent or interventionist God is rejected or absent in favor of finding God totally in the world (Thomas J. J. Altizer) or following Jesus in a godless world (William Hamilton). Hamilton's Christian atheism is similar to Jesuism.
So there you have it...

Next stop: The Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is where ancient Egyptians buried their Pharaohs to keep them safe from tomb raiders which seems like a silly idea really – since EVERYONE was buried there it was like having ALL of the treasure in one place and quite often the tomb was being robbed within a generation or two. The place is guarded at the entrance by a swarthy bunch of mustachioed gentlemen all sitting around smoking cigarettes with their machine guns in a big pile in the middle of a table. Like I said: sometimes it's just best to be with a guide. Makes it easier for everyone. He brought us to the tombs of Ramses II, Merenptah, and one other. These were all spectacular – the colors in these caves were sharp. They all look like they were painted just recently, they are so remarkably preserved. When the tomb was dug, it was dug all the way to the end, where the final resting area was painted in. Then line upon line of writing was inscribed – spells and prayers and such – guiding the spirit on the journey to the afterlife. There was Nut and Osiris and Ra and the whole pantheon of gods and goddesses… the lines, the reliefs carved from the plastered walls were so sharp and clean and clear… it was truly remarkable. We spent a while down in the tombs.
From there we traveled to the Tombs of the Nobles/Workers
Up on another hillside overlooking the temple of Ramses II and away from the Valley of the Kings are the Tombs of the Nobles. We walked in and the guard – an old man in a long robe said no pictures and proceeded to smoke his cigarette in that smoky tomb. How the camera is going to be worse for the walls than his cigarette, I will never know (and Hassan suggested that I not ask). These tombs were notable because they depicted daily life amongst the nobles – offerings, taxes, all sorts of things. There were little illustrations that looked like Gauguin paintings. There was a ceiling that was all sort of lumpy with vines and grape clusters painted all over it to resemble a vineyard. There was just so much… That it begins to elude my grasp after a while.
Finally we headed to Medinat Habu – the final temple of Ramses III.
We arrived there late in the afternoon as the sun turned it all soft gold and the clouds made huge arcs overhead and no one but ourselves and the robed sometimes shady looking temple guards watched us in our little tourist bubble. Walking up to the temple, with it's wide stone face, you first see these big relief carvings of Ramses III kicking ass. He is saying – look at me, I kick ass. Then you realize just how the size and scope of these temples were meant to inspire as much awe in the esteemed leader as in the gods. Such is power. Such is religion and government. Maybe I'll get to some thoughts on religion and government later though because the temple is a beautiful work of ancient art which has been around for over 3000 years.

If you stumble upon this blog, I suppose you should ask yourself a question; "Why should I read anything that this fellow has to say?" There is, of course, a massive amount of information on the web. Some of it is enlightening. Most of it is nonsense. Not so humbly, I propose that my site will fall into the enlightening category.
This is a blog about my own interests. There will therefore be a heavy focus on politics, history, society and certain forms of culture. This will also be a blog with an international focus, where my gaze will extend far beyond the borders of the United States. I admit that there will be a heavy focus on Europe and the Middle East, the two areas outside of the US that interest me the most and that I am most knowledgable about. However, I do not limit myself to any region.
How do I analyze these issues? First of all, I do not issue assertions based on "my gut." I approach an issue looking at the facts and then draw my conclusions. This seems rather basic but I find that it is too often forgotten in current commentary. I might have an instinctual feeling or opinion on an issue before conducting the proper research. If my instincts are proven correct, than good for me. If I am proven wrong, then that is also fine. If the facts change over time, then my opinion has to change. Someone clinging on to a belief despite all evidence to the contrary is always a sad sight. An argument that is not supported by any facts can be dismissed accordingly.
This quest for the truth is what drives me. I suppose it is the first part of my ideology, belief system, mindset or whatever term you might prefer. The second part of my ideology is a belief free speech can never be restricted. You would be correct in calling my a free speech absolutist. I passionately believe that George Orwell was correct in arguing that "if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." Speech must never be censored because someone might feel "uncomfortable" or "offended." Otherwise our society becomes lazy and people become too afraid to stand up for themselves. But I also am quite optimistic that the truth will always break through and overcome the nonsense in its way. Emil Zola said it best: "if you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way."
Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will return to this blog and read what I have to say. My first posting will come soon, on the uses and abuses of the Holocaust in current politics. Until then, keep questioning and exploring.

SCOTTSBORO, Ala. - Just need to check out a book and go? The Scottsboro Public Library is making that a lot easier. All thanks to the Bynum Foundation grant, they now have a stand alone self checkout system.
"We are still checking patrons books in and out with a librarian. This is not just to deter people from coming to see a librarian. This is just a quicker way to check
your books in and out," said Laura Pitts, library director.
Laura Pitts said this new checkout system will especially help during the summer with long lines. Being a smaller library, staff is limited; so this new system will act as an extra person.
"Everything from getting the books straightened, making sure the shelves are taken care of, all of those things are part of an efficiency that we can't get to in a quick time, if we're at the front desk," said Laura. "So this is going to allow us to take some time during the week also to focus on some other areas."
Now, there are some limitations with the self check out.
"So if you do have a fine, you still are required to pay the fine. So the self check unit will prompt you if you have a fine due on your account. And there are some materials that you can't checkout with the self checkout unit due to some security restrictions."
The Scottsboro Public Library feels as though this addition shows the improvements and upgrades being made to their system.

Ask the Expert: Have I damaged my Peace Lily after transplanting?
I purchased 2-3 small Peace lilies about 7 years ago for my boss. She is not a plant person, so it became my responsibility to keep it alive. It has been transplanted once from the pot it was originally in to a slightly larger pot and it has thrived increasing to 5 plants.
Lately it has been droopy and in need of water every other day. It has remained in the office in a relatively climate controlled environment until yesterday. I am in Florida and unfortunately my vehicles air conditioning went out. By the time I drove the 2 miles to home, the plant was all wilted and dying looking. I placed it in the shade as my houses a/c was not on and the inside temperature was almost as uncomfortable as my trucks.
I kept in in the shade and the ambient temp dropped due to an approaching storm. It was in the low 80's to upper 70's. I gently removed the plant from the pot and soaked it in water to try to loosen the dirt around the roots. My intention was to put it in 2 pots. I was afraid to cut or try to finger separating wasn't working on the roots.
Carefully I put soil in the new pot and added a little water. I kept this up in layers and added the 'mother' plant in to the center. I added potting soil around it and added water to moisten it. I left is under my oak tree overnight in the shade and it appeared to be slightly recovering until the drive to work this morning. One of the plants in the mother plant has dark wilted green leaves and is majorly droopy. The rest of the plant is a little 'depressed looking' with slightly wilted leaves.
I have one of those watering globes and added it in once the plant was placed back in it's home in the office.
Will my plant recover or have I done permanent damage to it? It really doesn't appear to be loving life right now. Thoughts/help is greatly appreciated. Cheryl
Plant Expert Reply:
The short answer is to give the plant time, and it will be fine.
The long answer is:
When a peace lily or any other plant is in stress don't add any more stress to it. After exposure to hot temperatures or a move, give the plant a day or two to recover before you re-pot, fertilizer or give extra water (unless the soil is dry). Move the peace lily to an area with a more acceptable temperature. The other thing you can do is give the peace lily a light solution of Vitamin B1 which you can find at your local garden center.
When you do repot, don't be afraid to cut the roots. To divide peace lilies, I take the plant out of the pot and cut from the bottom of the roots up toward the plant. By dividing the plant this way, you ensure an adequate root system for the foliage. Cutting the roots in this manner will not hurt the peace lily.
When I repot any plant, I place the soil in the container and make a hole for the rootball. I place the rootball so that the top is at the same level as it was in the original container. I use the new soil to fill in the gap between the rootball and the side of the container. Notice I didn't add any water in this process. Wetting the soil should be done after the plant has been repotted. Why? Because the water will eliminate any air pockets that have formed between the rootball and the new soil. You always want a thoroughly moist soil immediately after you transplant. Then you want to keep the soil evenly moist for peace lilies.
Although your approach was a little different from mine, your peace lily should recover. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and add a little Vitamin B1 to help with the shock. Then give it some time. Remember peace lilies will be droopy for a couple of reasons: too wet, too dry; to hot and sometimes too cold. Keeping moisture and temperature consistent is important.
Good Luck and keep me posted.

So I had been wanting a bearded dragon for a long time, but I decided to wait until I was an adult and all that good stuff. So recently I did get a beardie! He was a little younger than I was hoping as I know babies require a bit more care and become much more easily stressed, but I've been trying to make some lifestyle changes in order to be able to be the best lizard parent.
So I got him on the 11th and it is now the 16th. The day after I got him he started to shed which is fine but I'm just worried being in a new enclosure and the shed will continue to stress him out.
He's at the end of his shed right now and is definitely showing stress marks, but he's active and actually has a pretty healthy appetite and is pooping regularly.
Are there any tips for baby beardies that I should know that will maximize comfort and minimize stress? I'm working on getting a better basking light cause I feel like the one I have right now is getting me in the minimum ranges I need and I have a laser thermometer on the way in the mail so I can better regulate his temperatures more accurately than just the ones i have stuck inside the tank.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

text: Feeling great on this Palm Sunday 2019. Sherry and I have many blessings in our lives. I think later today I'll run through The Revelators set on the Gretsch. The band will be here tomorrow for rehearsal?. We've got some big trips coming up to several Prisons and in May we're headed straight into new territory that everyone is telling us will be way different and extremely hard to do. We've got a 12 hour round trip to do a concert at The The Harrisburg Youth Center State Prison. This facility has a history of extreme violence. We've only performed in adult facilities to this point. When I was approached about doing this one the officials said "Nobody wants to come here. We really need people to come. Are you sure you want to?" I of course said a resounding YES! We will be there! I am currently 12 years, 7 albums and countless concerts into the Todd Anthony Joos and the Revelators ministry. At 55 years of age I'm ready to ROCK for The Rock of Ages!! I'm 4 songs deep into the 8th album production. As long as God needs me, I WILL SERVE WITH AN INTENSE FIRE ?. I spent far too much time on the wrong side of things. I walk with Jesus! As my old buddy and first Revelators drummer Albert Hurst used to say, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it!" ?. One more bit of blessed news before I go... On Monday April 22nd The band and I will be completing a process that we've been working on for 5 years! We will be at a Prison facility to be fingerprinted, drug tested and have our pictures taken for our Full time Volunteer Illinois Department of Corrections ID badges. This will open so many more opportunities to minister within The Department of Corrections. We've fought through and prayed through soooo much to come to this moment! Someday when I'm too old and tired to do all of this, I'll tell the story. You'll NEVER believe the struggle! However God is good and His timing is perfect❤. As we head into this Holy Week, reach out to Him. Much love to All Y'all❤❤
