Disabling the update nag in WordPress
WordPress' core update nag is quite the useful thing, I'll usually know before it shows that there's an update, but a lot of people won't. If you don't know what I mean with core update nag, it's this thing:
The issue is that this thing doesn't only show to you, it shows to all users of your blog. Now there's a plugin that will disable this for you, but it will disable it for everyone, yourself included.
A better thing to do, in my humble opinion, is either edit that plugin to have the following code, or add this code to your themes functions.php:
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) { remove_action('admin_notices','update_nag',3); }
This will show the nag to you, but prevent "normal" users from seeing it, saving you from a lot of email and allowing you to wait a few days before upgrading if you feel that's wiser.
Disable update nag for certain users
Update, as asked by Kevin in the comments, here's how to show them to a certain username, in this case "admin":
global $user_login , $user_email; get_currentuserinfo(); if ($user_login == "admin") { add_action('admin_notices','update_nag',3); }
Update 19-9-2012 Updated for core changes to how the update nag works.

About 1,000 laid off by Husky oil sands contractor, union says
CALGARY, Alberta, March 11 (Reuters) - About 1,000 construction workers employed by a contractor at Husky Energy Inc's Sunrise oil sands project were laid off unexpectedly on Wednesday, a union official confirmed.
Izzy Huygen, a Fort McMurray, Alberta, representative of the Christian Labour Association of Canada, said many of the workers had expected their positions to remain until summer, but were informed of the layoffs on Wednesday morning.
They were employed by Saipem SpA's Canadian unit, which could not be immediately reached for comment. (Reporting by Scott Haggett)

I don't think any tragedy in literature that I have ever come across impressed me so much as the first one, that I spelled out slowly for myself in words of three letters: the bad fox has got the red hen. There was something so dramatically complete about it; the badness of the fox, added to all the traditional guile of his race, seemed to heighten the horror of the hen's fate, and there was such a suggestion of masterful malice about the word "got." One felt that a countryside in arms would not get that hen away from the bad fox.

text: "But we knew winning respect would take a fight at every turn. So if we were afraid to lose our jobs, we asked our allies for help. When it was time to take action, we prayed for courage to speak out. And we always stuck together, and never gave up."Elected leaders quickly praised the union contract as both a middle-class builder and noted its high-road business merits. "We're talking about the men and women who are the backbone of our regional and national economy, yet they have never shared in the prosperity of the corporations they make so profitable," said Los Angeles Councilman Joe Buscaino, whose district includes the largest port in America. "The standards that Toll Group, its workers, and Teamsters Local 848 set make it possible to reward and attract responsible port businesses that want a level playing field to compete on innovation and quality, rather than who can pay Los Angeles' vital workers the least." Contract Highlights include (Click here for a full summary & graphic comparison) : Fair wages –The day shift hourly rate increased from $12.72 to $19, and the night shift hourly rate from $13.22 to $19.75. In addition to the over $6/hour increase in hourly pay rates, drivers won $0.50/hour per year raises over the life of the contract, giving Toll port drivers over a 60% hourly wage boost over the life of the 3-year contract. Overtime pay of time-and-half kicks in after a typical full time 40 hour week, which is extremely rare in an industry where truckers are exempt from federal overtime laws and an average week hovers around 60 hours. Secure retirement –Prior to the contract, less than a dozen Toll drivers could spare any extra dollars, even pre-tax, to participate in the corporate 401(k) plan. As Teamster Local 848 members, they have been automatically enrolled in the union's Western Conference Pension Trust. Such a retirement plan at the port has rarely been seen since trucking was deregulated in 1980. Toll will make a pension contribution of $1/hour per driver until 2014, and a $1.50/hour per driver by 2015. Affordable health care – The Toll Group health care plan was financially out of reach for most of its truck drivers. The few who managed to meet the premium, deductibles, and copayments will now keep significantly more money in their pocket without sacrificing coverage, and the rest of their co-workers finally have access to quality, affordable health insurance coverage, including dental and vision care. The company will pay 95% of the premium for individuals and 90% for family coverage. Drivers who previously had to shell out $125/month for individual or $400/month per family will drop to roughly $30 or $150, respectively. Stable work hours and paid time off – Most truck drivers lose a day's pay if they cannot work, are penalized by dispatchers for being unable to haul a load, and lack paid sick or holiday leave, making it stressful for family budgets and planning. But Toll drivers made substantial gains in all these areas. They will receive seven paid holidays, three paid personal days, and six paid sick days annually. They will accrue one or two weeks of vacation within the first two years of service, with longtime employees earning up to a month. They can also bank on guaranteed full- or half-day of pay regardless of seasonal slowdowns if they are scheduled to work. Competitive growth incentives to raise market and living standards – The agreement establishes a high-road business model that recognizes Toll's competitors have not yet embraced fair wages and conditions. Provisions to encourage a level playing field and wide-scale unionization allow drivers to re-negotiate more gains when a simple majority of the regional market is organized. "We commend these truck drivers for their leadership in challenging the status quo at the ports. Workers everywhere are standing up to say enough to poverty wages, and Toll drivers have demonstrated that working families will fight for middle-class paychecks in America," said Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. "For too long companies in the global supply chain have gamed the system by undercutting U.S. businesses that actually create good jobs. Toll Group and its drivers have raised the bar for responsible competition, and the Teamsters will not stop until the rest of the nation's port drivers have a shot at the American Dream."

Washington, May 5 (ANI): There were at least two significant lapses in the security response of the U.S. Government, which allowed Faisal Shahzad, the main accused in the Times Square bombing attempt to board an Emirates flight to Dubai from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
According to the New York Post, officials of the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies said Shahzad came close to making his escape.
In the first instance, an F.B.I. surveillance team found Shahzad in Connecticut and then lost track of him. It is not clear for how long. As a result, investigators did not know he was planning to fly abroad until a final passenger list was sent to officials at the federal Customs and Border Protection agency minutes before takeoff.
In addition, Emirates Airline failed to act on an electronic message at midday on Monday notifying all airlines to check the no-fly list for an important added name, the officials said.
That meant lost opportunities to flag him when he made a reservation and paid for his ticket in cash several hours before departure.
Top Obama administration officials and some members of Congress on Tuesday praised the government's handling of the investigation, noting that Shahzad was identified, tracked and arrested before he could escape.
But Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said: "Clearly the guy was on the plane and shouldn't have been. We got lucky."
Senator Susan M. Collins Maine, said: "A key question for me is why this suspect was allowed to board the plane in the first place. There appears to be a troubling gap between the time they had his name and the time he got on the plane."
An Emirates spokeswoman, who said she was not allowed to speak on the record, declined to comment on the claims by government officials that the airline had neglected to recheck the no-fly list.
"Emirates takes every necessary precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of its passengers and crew and regrets the inconvenience caused," the airline said in a statement. (ANI)

The restaurant and hotel, built in 1857, is said to be attracting "a great deal of interest" from potential buyers following the move by Chris Hutcheson.
Unlike most of the restaurants in the Gordon Ramsay Holdings empire The Warrington is owned 50-50 by the chef and his former business partner.
Mr Hutcheson, who was sacked as chief executive of GRH by his son-in-law in October, has asked specialist agent Restaurant Property to find a buyer. However, no deal could go through without Ramsay's approval.
The Warrington - said to have once been an upmarket brothel - was bought by the pair for about £5.2 million in February 2008 and lavishly restored. Latest accounts reveal that it made a profit of £45,277 in 2009.
A spokeswoman for Ramsay said: "There has not been an offer for The Warrington yet, but if there was it would have to be brought to us to say yes or no."
Another Ramsay gastropub, the Devonshire in Chiswick, was closed last summer. The Narrow in Limehouse and the York and Albany in Camden are the other two GRH gastropubs.
Ramsay's lawyers were today in talks with a New Zealand promotions company which was preparing to sue the chef for almost £1 million after he pulled out of three charity dinners in June last year. Duco Events director David Higgins said the cancellations meant about 1,600 tickets had been refunded.Reuse content

Global Warming
Happy New Year!Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 11:44
We here at The Resilient Earth wish all our readers the happiest of New Years. Hopefully 2013 will be a year without the drama of 2012. After all, the over hyped Mayan Apocalypse did not happen, nor did the Arctic ice-sheet disappear. The Arab Spring slogged on through the summer and fall and is now in the midst of a dismal, dysfunctional winter. The American presidential election finally happened, mercifully removing all the political noise from public media and allowing the populous to return ignoring the government (perhaps to their own detriment). The Euro zone continues on the edge of crisis, Asia boils beneath the surface and Africa remains an open sore. What could go wrong this year?
Some Chilling ThoughtsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 12/28/2012 - 14:05
Something happened this year that has become rare in recent times, much of the United States has had a white Christmas. As of December 28th, 64.4% of the US was covered by snow with an average depth of 6.2 inches (15.7 cm). This compares with last month's coverage of only 19.8%. My own town of Conway, Arkansas, received 10 inches on Christmas day and a winter storm advisory is in effect as another storm makes its way eastward. For Arkansas, this has been the snowiest Christmas ever, breaking the old record set in 1926, and the 7th snowiest day overall since 1875. But North America is not alone in feeling winter's bite—record cold continues in Siberia, while a vicious cold snap across Russia and Eastern Europe has claimed nearly 200 lives. What does all this say about global warming?
New Ice Surveys Finds Slower Ice-sheet MeltingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 12/02/2012 - 16:41
A new "comprehensive" report about the melting of Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets is being touted by climate alarmists as "grim news" but in fact says no such thing. This latest estimate, published this week in Science, combines data from many sources including 20 years of satellite data and 32 years of ice-sheet simulations to arrive at a mixed conclusion. It estimates that, between 1992 and 2011, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets lost 1350 ± 1010 and 2700 ± 930 Gt of ice, respectively. That is equivalent to an increase in global mean sea level of 11.2 ± 3.8 mm, less than 1/2 an inch. Moreover, while some areas were losing ice mass others were gaining mass from snowfall. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS), which occupies over 75% of Antarctica, experienced mass gains during the final years of the study.
IPCC Gets It Backwards, Drought Causes WarmingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 11/25/2012 - 12:55
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has consistently predicted expanding world wide drought as one of the horrors of global warming. New research suggests that things may not be quite as arid as they predicted. According to scientists, a commonly used technique for estimating drought severity may actually overestimate the effects of dry spells. Revisiting historical data for the period 1980-2008, a new assessment technique found that the global area stricken by drought grew by approximately 0.08% per year—less than one-seventh (14%) the increase previously reported. Moreover, researchers found that drought causes higher temperatures, not the other way around. Once again, the horrendous effects of anthropogenic global warming have been found to be over hyped by the self-serving savants of the IPCC.
Scientifically Ignorant, Tabloid "Climatologists" Blame Sandy On Climate ChangeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 11/02/2012 - 11:06
In a mad rush to prove who can put out the most inane press release, various warm-mongers, news hacks and climate alarmists have gone on a predictable spree, trying to blame Hurricane Sandy and the resulting disaster in the US Northeast on CO2 levels. Who are these clowns? Even the IPCC issued a statement saying that global warming was not to blame. Have none of these empty headed blatherskites noticed that it has been more than seven years since a major hurricane struck the US, the longest such period since the Civil War? Evidently not, since they continue to spew unscientific twaddle and the news media continues to lap it up like a dog eating its own vomit.
New Global Energy Balance Data Shows Climate Models Profoundly UncertainSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 10/28/2012 - 12:59
Earth's climate is controlled by the global balance of energy. Radiation from the Sun heats up the planet while heat energy is re-radiated into space through complex interactions of land, sea and air. The journal Nature Geoscience has just published an update about the balance that controls Earth's temperature and overall climate. Scientists conclude the global balance of energy flow within the atmosphere and at Earth's surface cannot be accurately measured using current techniques and is therefore uncertain. The current uncertainty in this net surface energy balance is an order of magnitude larger than the changes associated with greenhouse gasses. In short, previous estimates of climate change are invalid, swamped by fundamental uncertainty.
Atlantic Currents Cause European Climate ChangeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 10/21/2012 - 13:22
Climate change alarmists point to the past several decades of European weather to reinforce their claim that global warming has the continent in its grip. A new report shows that this recent warm spell is nothing abnormal or unprecedented—during the 1990s there was simply a return to conditions present during 1931-1960. The reason for the shift is warm ocean temperatures that are, in turn driven by variation in warm ocean currents from the tropics. The instrumental record shows that, relative to the average temperature of the rest of the world's oceans, the temperature of the North Atlantic Ocean has fluctuated between anomalously warm and anomalously cool phases, each lasting several decades at a time. Palaeoclimate records suggest that similar variations extend much farther back in time. The observed pattern of multidecadal variation in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) has become known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).
Fish Feces Sequester Carbon, Rogue Millionaire Poisons Pacific OceanSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 10/18/2012 - 12:41
Does fish fecal matter fight global warming by carrying organic carbon to the bottom of the ocean where it is sequestered in sediment? A new study claims that fish poo is under appreciated as a part of the natural carbon cycle and that it carries carbon to the ocean bottom much faster than dead zooplankton sink on their own. "Measurements of in situ abundance of fish fecal pellets or their flux are lacking, likely due to the difficulty of adequately sampling these particles," the study's authors state, "to our knowledge, this is the first study to present estimates of fish fecal pellet abundance." This study indicates that fish poo is an under appreciated component of both the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Surprisingly, waste from marine mammals, including whales, breaks up and degrades as it sinks, returning its carbon, nitrogen and other elements back to the environment.
Medieval Warm Period Under Attack, AgainSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 10/14/2012 - 16:27
Once again the fear-mongering hoards of lay-climatologists are denouncing the importance of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), or Medieval Climate Optimum as some refer to it. On the strength of a single new study, involving algal lipids from a lake in Svalbard, Norway, one pundit referred to the "so-called" Medieval Warm Period and impugned the significance of the Little Ice Age for good measure. Of course the writer, an "ecological journalist," saw nothing wrong with using such a dismissive and pejorative term since it is IPCC promoted doctrine that today things are warmer than they have ever been since the onset of the Holocene. Yet literally hundreds of other studies have shown that the MWP was as warm or warmer than today and that is the real consensus among paleoclimatologists.
Arctic Ice Confounds ModelsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 09/30/2012 - 14:30
Heralded far and wide as a harbinger of global climate change, this year's record Arctic ice melt has the uninformed climate alarmists celebrating and the more knowledgeable scratching their heads. You see, this summer's ice retreat was predicted by no computer model and few scientists even though it possible. While climate scientists ponder what is wrong with their theories nature has carried on—no fuss, no muss, no drama. Circulation patterns are shifting and living creatures from zooplankton to megafauna are taking the change in stride. What has flummoxed environmental scientists is the simple and now demonstrated fact that successful life forms have a common trait—they are adaptable, something many scientists are not.
Antarctic Peninsula Warming, Time After TimeSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 09/23/2012 - 13:38
Over the past 50 years or so, the Antarctic Peninsula, the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica, has experienced rapid warming and the collapse of a number of ice shelves. A new temperature record derived from an ice core drilled on James Ross Island, has triggered a reassessment of what triggered the recent warming trends. This new core provides the best record of climate events on the peninsula going back at least 20,000 years, and may extend back as far as 50,000 years. From this new data a team of researchers has constructed the most detailed history of climate on the Antarctic Peninsula known to science and it has revealed a number of interesting things. Most important of these is the fact that this area undergoes bouts of rapid warming periodically and that things were at least as warm on the peninsula 2,000 years ago. So much for "unprecedented" warming on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Case of the Alternating Ice SheetsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 09:10
There has been a wave of triumphal announcements by climate change proponents recently, almost giddy over the summer shrinkage of the Arctic ice sheet. "Lowest level ever!" they proclaim, thought that is not quite true. Nonetheless, The Arctic pack ice has been receding over the last decade or so, but that is only natural. You see, there is a well known, if poorly understood, linkage between the ice at the north pole and the ice in and around Antarctica—and the ice around Antarctica is doing quite well. Satellite radar altimetry measurements indicate that the East Antarctic ice sheet interior increased in mass by 45±7 billion metric tons per year from 1992 to 2003. This trend continues today, reinforcing recent scientific investigations into this millennial scale oscillation between the poles. According to studies, this is how things have been for hundreds of thousands of years.
Sense and SensitivitySubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 09/09/2012 - 12:43
One of the main problems with the "theory" of anthropogenic global warming is its reliance on rising atmospheric CO2 levels to force a global rise in temperature. This is predicted by climate change proponents by running large, complex computer models that imperfectly simulate the physics of Earths biosphere: ocean, land and atmosphere. Central to tuning these general circulation models (GCM) is a parameter called climate sensitivity, a value that purports to capture in a single number the response of global climate to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. But it has long been known that the Earth system is constantly changing—interactions shifting and factors waxing and waning—so how can a simple linear approximation capture the response of nature? The answer is, it can not, as a new perspective article in the journal Science reports.
Where Did All The CO2 Go?Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 09/02/2012 - 13:12
The subject of human carbon dioxide emissions and their build up in Earth's atmosphere is at the center of the anthropogenic global warming controversy. It cannot be denied that humans produce CO2 in large amounts, both from burning fossil fuels and from land use changes. This has led to much gnashing of teeth and renting of garments by excitable ecological doomsayers, but there is something they do not mention: at the same time humanity is spewing forth carbon, nature is busily sucking up that carbon and storing it away. A new analysis of the carbon cycle has produced an unexpected result—not only is the absorption of carbon continuing unabated it has actually expanded. The latest scientific tally indicates that since 1959, approximately 350 billion tons of carbon have been emitted by humans to the atmosphere, of which about 55% has been reabsorbed by the land and oceans.
The Mysterious Oxidant XSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 08/28/2012 - 08:42
With the IPCC getting ready to churn out yet another frightening report based on consensus science in 2013, it is interesting to note that many things have changed since the previous report (AR4). For example, oxidation is a major factor in atmospheric chemistry and can impact many environmental issues: stratospheric ozone loss, acidification of water and soil, air quality, cloud formation and, naturally, climate change. In the AR4 report the only atmospheric oxidation factors included were ozone (O3), the hydroxyl radical (OH) and the nitrate radical (NO3). In a recent scientific report, measurements from a Finnish forest revealed a previously unknown atmospheric oxidant that promotes production of sulfuric acid—one of the main precursors for the formation and growth of aerosol particles and clouds. Scientists are still unsure what this mysterious chemical compound is, they refer to it as oxidant X.

Fresh off a streak that saw her win five straight Cyclocross World Cup races and finish second at the 2011 Cyclocross Worlds, Katie Compton has announced she will join the Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team in 2011. Compton and Rosara Joseph of New Zealand are the first two women athletes on the expanded Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team.
"I am very excited to join the Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team for the next two years, which I believe will be the best of my career," Compton said. "I have high expectations and goals for myself, for both cyclocross and mountain biking. I am happy to be part of such a respected and well-run team."
Compton, the current U.S. Champion in both short-track cross-country and cyclocross, will focus on the XC World Cup this year with the aim to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
"This year the rankings of the team's top-three men and top-two women will count toward UCI team rankings," said Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team Manager Jan ten Tusscher. "The continued expansion and globalization of our team played a key role in acquiring both Katie and Rosara."

David Headley has written a memoir narrating his journey into the Lashkar-e-Tayiba (LeT). He speaks extensively about what drew him towards the Lashkar and how the 26/11 attack was carried out.
However, is this memoir truly from the heart? He is still not telling us a lot of things and a glance of this memoir only shows that it is old wine in a new bottle.
A bare reading of the memoir shows that he has said nothing more than what he had already said.
The memoir is a just a stunt and all of us know that while he entered into a plea bargain with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), he had promised to reveal very little and avoid a lot of intricate aspects surrounding the 26/11 mystery.
[Mumbai attack plotter Headley joined LeT "full time" after 9/11]
Here we list out what David Headley should have revealed and not spoken about things we already know since the past five years.
His local contact in Mumbai:
For some strange reason, India never bothered to probe into the local links that Headley had when he had come to Mumbai to carry out a survey of the targets.
Confidential files clearly reveal that he had three local contacts in Mumbai who helped him around the city.
He was told to get in touch with Basheer a friend of Tawwahur Rana, the man who arranged his travel documents.
Headley was received by Basheer when he landed in India. It was Basheer who helped Headley around the city and even sent two other men to carry out the job.
['Headley betrayed all - his wives, US, ISI, LeT']
The Indian investigators never bothered probing this angle. Headley during his confession before both the FBI and the NIA did not mention this angle even once. His memoir too is silent about the same.
Sajid Mir, the mystery:
Headley does speak about Sajid Mir, the man who was his handler during the 26/11 attack. He was in regular touch with this person who is a big player in the attack.
There is really no proper information on Mir and the most the Intelligence Bureau could get on him was that he was an officer in the ISI.
Sajid Mir was branded an international terrorist. The US, France and India have files on him, but none have any concrete information on what he exactly does or who he is.
While speaking to sources in Pakistan they are hell bent on terming him as a fictitious character and the only Sajid Mir they know is an old cleric.
Headley clearly knows more about Mir. He has not uttered anything about the antecedents of Mir in his confessions and as expected his memoir too is silent on this aspect.
[Headley, home ministry termed Ishrat a 'terrorist']
Headley could have blurted more on the Americans:
When Headley was first arrested the FBI did its bit to cover up that he was a double agent. His travel details to India were very much in the know of the Americans.
His stint in Pakistan when he turned rogue was also a well known fact.
He is clearly not someone that the FBI or the CIA did not have details about.
In the year 1989 he was sent to Afghanistan by the CIA to gather information about drug smuggling.
The other mystery is surrounding the lack of action by the FBI despite being told clearly about his activities.
His girlfriend had told the FBI that he had turned rogue. Even after the 26/11 attack, the US was informed about him. However, the US took one long year to tell India about him.
Headley makes no mention about his direct contacts with the CIA and how the lid was always placed on his activities.
India has enough material to prove that the US knew not just about him but his activities as well.
However, Headley does not say much in his confession to the NIA or even in his latest memoir.
Headley can never say it all:
Headley has a practical problem on hand. An officer of the NIA, who questioned him, says that he was well rehearsed and decided this is all he was going to say.
Moreover, when he questioned him, a team of the FBI was present at all times to monitor the questioning.
Headley after his arrest entered into a plea bargain with the US. As per the deal, he would not be sentenced to death and also not extradited to India.
In exchange Headley had promised to reveal only as much the FBI wanted to hear.
If he goes on to reveal anything more than what he had first confessed to the FBI, then the plea bargain agreement would be violated and the Americans can sentence him to death and also extradite him to India.
Now everyone knows that is not going to happen.

to start the review I will say the food in both the Moonlight Sonata and Oceanview Café were excellent. The bartenders in every bar except the martini bar were like getting a drink from a uninterested robot. There are 3 drink packages, we got the middle thinking we could get everything from the lower one plus ours. What a joke,there are premium beers offered on the lower package that you cannot get with the middle package,somethings wrong here. My wife and I are in our 50's with the average age on this ship closer to 70.

Garibaldi Lake is a turquoise-coloured alpine lake in British Columbia, Canada, located 37 km (23 mi) north of Squamish and 19 km (12 mi) south of Whistler. The lake lies within Garibaldi Provincial Park, which features mountains, glaciers, trails, forests, flowers, meadows, waterfalls. The park is a wildlife protected area.
Garibaldi Lake lies in a deep subalpine basin, with its surface at nearly 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level and a depth exceeding 250 m (800 ft). It is almost entirely surrounded by mountains except at its northwestern tip, with volcanoes along the north, west, and south sides and non-volcanic peaks along the northeast and eastern shores. Lava flows from the volcanoes of Mount Price and Clinker Peak to the south blocked the ancestral valley, damming the waters of the lake behind the lava formation known as The Barrier. This lava dam is over 300 m (1,000 ft) in thickness and about 2 km (1.2 mi) wide where it impounds the lake. A series of lava outcrops along the northwestern shore of the lake form the numerous tiny Battleship Islands, several of which have been connected to the shore by simple man-made stone causeways.
The turquoise colour of the lake's water is due to glacial flour suspended in the meltwater from its two primary inflows, the large Sphinx Glacier to the east and the Sentinel Glacier to the south on the flanks of Mount Garibaldi. Throughout most of the year, outflow from Garibaldi Lake occurs only via seepage through cracks in the lava dam, with Rubble Creek appearing from springs at the base of The Barrier. During spring snowmelt, outflow is sufficient for surface drainage to occur via a shallow channel across the lava flow, into Lesser Garibaldi Lake and Barrier Lake about 1.6 km (1 mi) west of the main lake's shore.
The unstable lava formation of The Barrier has in the past unleashed several debris flows in the area below the lake, most recently in 1855-56 forming a large boulder field which gives Rubble Creek its name. Concerns about the Barrier's instability due to volcanic, tectonic, or heavy rainfall activity prompted the provincial government to declare the area immediately below it unsafe for human habitation in 1981. This led to the evacuation of the nearby village of Garibaldi, British Columbia, and the relocation of residents to new recreational subdivisions away from the hazard zone. Should the Barrier completely collapse, Garibaldi Lake would be entirely released and downstream damage in the Cheakamus and Squamish Rivers would be considerable, including major damage to the town of Squamish and possibly an impact-wave on the waters of Howe Sound that would reach Vancouver Island.
All recreational activities in the area are governed by the regulations of Garibaldi Provincial Park. Primary access to the lake is via the 9 km (5.5 mi) long Garibaldi Lake Trail, which gains approximately 920 m (3,020 ft) of elevation from the Rubble Creek Trailhead. There are campgrounds and day-use shelters on the west shore of Garibaldi Lake, and also farther northwest at Taylor Meadows. During the summer, access to the eastern end of the lake is severely limited, since no trails have been constructed along the steep and unstable slopes which plunge directly into the lake. During winter, the lake is typically frozen from late December to late April, allowing backcountry skiers and snowshoers to easily reach the far shore. A pair of small alpine huts are located in Sphinx Bay on the eastern shore and Sentinel Bay at the southeastern tip of the lake.

Reissue with the latest DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A gem of a record from Japanese keyboardist Masabumi Kikuchi – one of those massive Japanese fusion classics that was partly recorded overseas, partly here in the US – with a sound that brings together all the best soulful aspects of both scenes! Kikuchi can create some really weird, wonderful sounds when he wants – but can also slide into a groove with the best of them – and, given the vintage of the record, may well be more inventive than Herbie Hancock ever was at this point in his career! The lineup's filled with great talents – trumpeter Terumasa Hino, reedman Steve Grossman, and guitarist James Mason – coming together wonderfully on titles that include "Sky Talk", "Madjap Express", "Alacalder", and "Sum Dum Fun".
Reissue with the latest DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A great album of funky Japanese fusion – one of the few sets from the Japanese scene of the late 70s that got any sort of wider release in the US – and a treasure that we've loved for years! The set's got a really great sound – soulful and funky, but sharp too – in a lineup that features a variety of keyboards from Masabumi Kikuchi, plus work by Terumasa Hino on trumpet, Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman on saxes, and James Mason on guitar! The best cuts have a funky feel that's in the CTI/Kudu mode – perhaps mixed with a bit of Herbie Hancock keyboard jamming – and the album's a surprisingly lost funky gem in the Columbia catalog of the early 80s, with a much harder edge than some of the other work on the label at the time!
Reissue with the latest DSD remastering. An aggressive bit of funky fusion – a set that matches the talents of Japanese trumpeter Shunzoh Ohno with some hip American grooves from Reggie Lucas on guitar, Cedric Lawson on keyboards, Don Pate on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums! The sound is very full-on – in a mid 70s Miles Davis electric mode, but with perhaps a bit more of a funk touch on the best cuts – almost a refinement of the groove that Miles hit in Japan, fusing the energy into some great tunes that really pack a sharp punch! Haynes' drums are surprisingly heavy at points – and titles include "You Dig That?", "But It's Not So", and "I Remember That It Happened".
One of the most soulful sessions we've ever heard from Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi – a brilliant quintet outing that features some really great work on tenor and soprano sax! Kikuchi's piano is usually enough to grab our attention, but the album's got a great added bonus in the presence of Kosuke Mine on soprano sax and Hideo Miyata on tenor – both players whose horns bring in some added sharpness to the date, and further underscore the spiritual elements in Kikuchi's music – almost with the same mix of reeds and driving rhythms you'd find in the post-Coltrane work of Elvin Jones. Titles include "Green Dance", "Bell", "Admire But Destest", "Gin Kai", and "Drizzling Rain".
Heavy electric piano from Masabumi Kikuchi – played here on two side-long tracks that really stretch out! The album's a live one, and features Kikuchi working with a sextet – a great lineup that features soprano sax, bass, and drums – plus some added organ and keyboards next to Masabumi's own keyboards – especially nice on one track that also features piano! There's a sensitivity to these tunes that's wonderful – a hint at the straighter Japanese trio mode that would dominate later in the 70s, but played with some of the best boldness that scene was bringing to its work at the start of the decade. Titles are both originals – "Yellow Carcass In The Blue" and "Dancing Mist" – both with a sound as evocative as their titles!
Masabumi Kikuchi plays some really great electric piano here – often using the album with loud, bold tones that lie somewhere between Joe Zawinul's work with Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis! The album's an extremely sweet electric side from the Japanese keyboardist – and it also features great work on reeds from Kosuke Mine, who plays both alto and soprano sax on the set – the latter with a wonderfully soulful, lyrical tone. Other players include Motohiko Hino on drums and Hideo Ichikawa on additional electric piano and organ – and titles include "Dancing Mist", "Thanatos", "Yellow Carcass In The Sun", "EJ", "My Companion", and "Puzzle Ring".
A key example of why the Japanese scene was so great at the start of the 70s – really mindblowing work from keyboardist Masabumi Kikuchi, and every bit as wonderful as some of our favorite American sides from the time! Kikuchi acoustic piano with a warmly soulful sensitivity – alongside the Fender Rhodes of Masahiro Kikuchi, who has a hard-edged sound that almost takes off from Joe Zawinul's use of the instrument, then soars into even mightier territory. The style is somewhat loose at times, but never too free – and the group here is a sextet that also includes amazing alto from Kosuke Mine – an excellent player who's never gotten his due on this side of the Pacific. Titles include "Love Token", "Tenacious Prayer Forever", "Roaming In Darkness", "Young Bloods", and "Piece To Peace".
An excellent mid 70s Japanese fusion set, led by the Gil Evans protege Masabumi Kikuchi – with a very similar group to the one on his awesome Susto LP! The vibe isn't quite as funky on this outing – in fact it's a bit more reminiscent of Miles' spacey electric explorations – though there are some pretty hard groovin' moments should definitely appeal to fans of funky fusion. Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman play some nice coloristic lines on reeds, and Terumasa Hino is in fine form on trumpet. The rest of the group is rounded out by Reggie Lucas on guitar playing some hard choppy accompaniment to Kikuchi's synths and electric piano, Mtume on percussion, Al Foster on drums and Anthony Jackson on bass. We're especially keen on the dark and heavy "Auroral Flare", the spacious "Pacific Hushes" which opens with a beautiful line played by Hino and the set's closer "Alone".

Published: January 14, 1990
The American folk art acquired by Edith and Bernard M. Barenholtz over 18 years focuses mostly on sculptural objects that are historical and exuberantly patriotic. More than 275 of the vintage rooftop, storefront and nursery decorations that they bought are to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York on Jan. 27 in what the house describes as the most important folk-art holding to come to the market in a decade. Sotheby's estimates that the sale will bring $1.6 million to $2.3 million.
Bernard Barenholtz, a toy manufacturer who founded Creative Playthings in New York with Frank Caplan in 1949, aggressively pursued folk art with Edith, his first wife, from 1956 until her death in 1974. Mr. Barenholtz continued to collect, albeit more slowly, until his death at age 75 on Aug. 5. The folk-art items the couple acquired together include 42 weather vanes, 18 whirligigs, 22 canes, 98 carved-wood and squeak toys, 9 trade signs and shop figures and 13 paintings.
Outstanding among these artifacts is the first piece of folk art, other than a toy, that the Barenholtzes acquired - a copper and zinc horse-and-rider weather vane they bought in 1966. Depicting a tall man in top hat and long jacket, whip in hand, astride a high-stepping horse, it glows with gilding and a brilliant green patina. A rarity made in about 1860 by J. Howard and Company of Massachusetts, the molded metal vane is estimated by Sotheby's to sell for $400,000 to $600,000.
''Every piece is special,'' said Nancy Druckman, who heads Sotheby's American folk-art department. ''The most modest wood carving or the most elaborate weather vane - each is distinctive in one way or another.''
She cited the boldly curved neck and robust muscles of a galloping horse on another 19th-century weather vane, a carved wooden example painted brown that is expected to fetch $10,000 to $12,000. On a horse-drawn sulky vane of the same vintage, there are four wheels, two more than usual, and much of the original gilding. The presale estimate is $15,000 to $20,000. A whirligig of a sailor in top hat and short jacket has carved thumbs and fingers instead of merely flat paddles for hands. This nattily dressed, stiff-as-a-board 14-inch-high figure is expected to bring as much as $15,000.
Mr. Barenholtz's lifelong interest in American history, Mrs. Druckman said, is reflected in the collection's patriotic material. Among the more obvious examples are the scores of 19th-century offerings painted red, white and blue; the figures of Uncle Sam, Columbia and Liberty; the wind-up toy of George Washington on horseback that are activated by a propeller, and the items embellished with American eagles - a cast-iron gate and a sled.
One of the more flamboyant exressions of Americana is a red, white and blue late 19th-century tin bird cage in the shape of a paddle-wheeler. This two-foot-square aviary is emblazoned with spread-winged eagles on the sides and the Stars and Stripes flying aloft and aft. The presale estimate is $7,000 to $10,000.
''This Uncle Sam figure looks like Barney with a beard,'' Mrs. Druckman said of an 1880 cast-iron tall, lean and dignified image, which indeed looks remarkably like Mr. Barenholtz. The 80-inch-tall Uncle Sam, an erect figure holding a later 50-star flag, is expected to fetch $6,000 to $8,000. A feistier 30-inch-tall painted and carved white-haired politician, smoking a big cigar, is an offbeat variation on the cigar-store Indian. The red and white striped pants and blue swallow-tailed jacket still seem fresh a century after this figure was made to decorate a counter top in a Pennsylvania shop. The presale estimate is $30,000 to $50,000.
Most of the carved and molded animals - weather vanes, carousel figures and toys - are energetic studies of four-legged creatures on the move. Stags leap, roosters run and horses prance, trot, gallop or fly through the air, tails and manes stiffened by the wind.
''The Barenholtzes collected in a very specific way,'' said Robert Bishop, director of the Museum of American Folk Art. ''Both had a fetish for meticulously detailed objects, and they were concerned about the quality of the surface patina and condition of what they bought. I remember at one point they decided to stop loaning their own collection because the pieces were being overhandled. So much of what really interested Barney Barenholtz related to his toy business.'' Several of the Barenholtzes' paintings, Mr. Bishop pointed out, depict children handling toys.
Mrs. Druckman said the Barenholtzes were well aware of the didactic character of 19th-century folk art. ''The makers wanted to inculcate ideas valued in the period. Loyalty, hard work and patriotism were high on the list. Coming out of an educational backround, Barney consciously responded to these themes in toys.''
The auction represents the third and last part of the Barenholtz folk-art collection to be dispersed. On Nov. 12, Ronald Bourgeault, a New England antiques dealer, held an auction in Manchester, N. H., of material from the home of Mr. Barenholtz and his second wife, Betty Willis. About 350 pieces of painted furniture, mechanical banks and folk-art portraits were sold for a total of $525,000.
On Dec. 17, Alexander Acevedo, a Manhattan dealer, held a giant tag sale of mostly metal 19th-century toys from the Barenholtz collection. At the end of the one-day event, there were about 300 leftovers, which he sold to an antiques dealer. The toys brought a seven-figure total, which Mr. Acevedo did not reveal.

A technological process has been worked out for preparing a new fibrous filler, "Banavis," for technical rubber articles from viscose technical yarns having a linear density of 187 tex by treating them with a mixture of L-7 chloroprene latex and SF-282 resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
Introduction of "Banavis" filler into rubber mixtures raises the service characteristics of articles made from them, particularly it increases the transverse toughness of variable drive V-belts by 25–30%, and the mean running time of these items more than 2-fold.

The price of Brent crude rose 88 cents from Thursday night's close in London to $20.88. It has bounced from about $18 since speculation started last month that Opec would make its fourth production cut of the year, but is still 13% lower than at the start of the year.
Now drivers are facing the prospect of a new rise in petrol prices, but it could be as small as 1p a litre. Rising petrol prices are sure to trigger accusations of profiteering by the oil giants, who in turn blame high taxation for pushing up costs.
The revised quotas are Opec's lowest in a decade, taking its total cutbacks to five million barrels, or 19%, in a year. About 25% of the group's capacity will now be idle.
The move follows an agreement by non-Opec producers, such as Russia, Norway and Mexico, to slice their combined daily output by 462,000 barrels.
Asked if another cut was likely, Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali al-Naimi said: 'We will do what we have to do. What is important right now is to stabilise the market.'
Opec secretary-general Ali Rodriguez also sought to appease concerns that a global economic recovery could be hit by further rises in oil prices. 'The main objective of this cut is to stop the fall in prices. The principal factor affecting prices is the world economy and then there is the oversupply of oil, which we want to correct,' he said.
Opec said the cuts would last for six months from 1 January. But some analysts believe members would find it impossible to implement the new quotas so quickly, saying the full impact of the move may not be noticeable until March.
There are also doubts about whether non-Opec producers will make their promised cuts and how long they will leave them in place. Many dealers believe Russia will get around its new quotas, which relate to how much it can export rather than produce, by selling more of its crude as refined products, which would put downward pressure on the price.
They also point out that increased demand for heating oil in Russia at this time of year means the country's exports will fall by more than the 150,000 barrels a day it has promised to cut back, making its share of the deal effectively worthless.
Others believe Opec's efforts to restrict supply will be hit by a number of major new fields due to come on stream in non-Opec countries over the coming year. Oil prices hit a high of $30 in early September as the impact of its previous production cuts combined with tight stocks in the US in the lead up to winter. But the attacks of 11 September saw the price crash as demand forecasts were downgraded on the back of fears of a US recession.

Melbourne, Feb.9 : Australia's fear or wariness of India in the ongoing Commonwealth Bank one-day series is justified, said Indian opener Virender Sehwag today, a day before the two teams clash in the fourth match of the tournament at the Melbourne Cricket Ground here.
Interacting with press persons ahead of the crucial tie, Sehwag said India could not and should not be taken lightly in the tournament in view of its performance in the recently concluded Test series (2-1 in favour of Australia) and the 1-1 drawn series in 2003-04. He said that of all the teams taking on Australia in the recent past, only India had mounted a credible challenge.
"In Brisbane, it was lack of practice. Now, we've had four days of nets, so we are looking better day by day," Sehwag said, hoping that the MCG pitch would be the same as the one on which Queensland lost to Victoria. On a slow surface.
Sehwag felt the lack of pace would make it easier for the Indian batsmen to hang around. "If we have to challenge the Australians we need to not lose wickets early on, because the Aussies find it difficult if the wickets don't fall and we should play on that,"he said.
Speaking for the Australian side, fast bowler Brett Lee said the team would approach its match with India with the necessary firepower and caution.
"Tomorrow is a very big match for us. India are tough opponents," he said. "If we can go there and play some really good cricket, hopefully pick up a win, then the momentum will be sky-high going into Perth against Sri Lanka," Lee said.
Lee agreed with Sehwag that the MCG pitch is likely to be less pacey, but said the Australian bowling attack was varied and consistent enough to deliver in any conditions.
"Collectively as a bowling group we have done well. The guys are chipping in and it's not like one person is putting his hand up," he said.
Both teams are likely to field unchanged line-ups though India might be tempted to pick leg-spinner Piyush Chawla.
Australia: (probable) 1 Matthew Hayden, 2 Adam Gilchrist (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Clarke, 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 James Hopes, 8 Brett Lee, 9 Brad Hogg, 10 Mitchell Johnson, 11 Nathan Bracken.
India: (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Rohit Sharma, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt, wk), 7 Robin Uthappa, 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Sreesanth, 11 Ishant Sharma.

Beeep-be-beeep, tinkle, buzz... A symphony of eerie sounds interrupts the tranquillity of the dusky lakeside, where I'm relaxing on our wooden deck, glass in hand. But, this is no battle of the ringtones between testy teenagers. These are fishing alarms. And by the end of our five-day break they become the ambient soundtrack that eases us into the early evening after a day of family fun.
Here at Camping la Croix du Vieux Pont, Berny Rivière, in Picardy, 11 attractive wooden lodges have appeared along the far shore of the lake. Tapping into the glamping trend, British tour operator Canvas Holidays has expanded its range of tents and mobile homes and commissioned the Lodge Deluxe to satisfy the desires of the discerning camper. People, like me, who yearn for the outdoor living experience – but with all mod cons.
So we're putting this new five-star family offering to the test. And we're not disappointed. This is no credit-crunch cabin: it's our own piece of pine perfection. Laid out over two floors, there's a trendy yet well-equipped kitchen, downstairs bathroom with shower and bath and a living room with dining area and sofa bed. There's also a beanbag for the kids to fight over. Upstairs, one of the two simple attic-style bedrooms (sleeping six between them) has a balcony with views.
And outside, beyond the deck, there's even our own bit of lawn, where our daughter fails to respect the boundaries of our neighbours' gardens, marked out by new planting. Although she has her own toddler table and chairs, she prefers our steamers to lounge on. This is my kind of camping.
The concept has clearly hit the right note for others, too: the Lodge Deluxe was almost sold out this summer, though you can still put them to the test yourself before the season ends in late October. And there will be more chance of grabbing a little of this kind of glamping action next year – Canvas has just announced it will more than double its range of lodge accommodation for 2009, with the addition of eight four-bedroom models.
And, in these dire financial times, they know how to reel us in quickly. Take advantage of its range of early-booking offers – from free grandparent places to single-parent discounts – and if you book by 14 November you can save up to 30 per cent.
"Berny", as it's known by regulars, is a Michelin Red Tent site with four stars, one of Canvas Holidays' top 10. The company has been sending customers here for 20 years and it's obvious why. Despite the quiet setting of our lodge at the far end of the site, just five minutes' walk away, there's plenty to keep our two children – Calum, seven, and Sophie, 21 months – occupied, despite the age gap.
The free swimming complex is the biggest draw. The heated outdoor and two indoor pools see us through rain and shine, and a clutch of chutes feeds the adrenalin addictions of the whole family. The pretty lakeside park is a daily temptation. Trampolines, bouncy castle, go-karts and a playground keep younger ones amused, while the more adventurous pootle in pedaloes or canoes on the lake. But watch your wallet: fun doesn't come free. Top tip: buy the €40 pass.
Then there's the fishing (popular, hence those alarms), tennis and bicycle hire. Everyone takes to two wheels here – from customers to reps. And dad can't resist the football tournament, where lots of other feisty fathers join staff and other, much younger, players on the pitch. We cheer him on, but it's not long before World War III breaks out and some people are squaring up.
Peace declared, we venture off site in search of another armistice. This is First World War country: a short drive into the countryside and the endless graveyards are a stark reminder of losses sustained. Roadside signs detail upcoming commemorations of the 90th anniversary of the armistice. It was signed in a railway carriage (now a museum) in the forest at nearby Compiègne. And there's plenty more to explore: Paris, Reims and Chantilly are within easy reach, while the local village, Vic-sur-Aisne, is scenic and sleepy.
There are tears from Calum as we leave. But the holiday isn't over yet because we're heading north-west to Brittany. We arrive, ready for action, at Camping Chateau des Ormes, another Canvas top 10 site, just outside the medieval town of Dol-de-Bretagne. This time, we're not here to laze by the lake: we've come to put ourselves through our paces with an exclusive new activity programme that is being piloted at this site.
The rest of our trip is a tight timetable of dynamic fun, designed in consultation with leisure activity specialist In2action. Raft-building, canoeing games and aeroball keep Calum buzzing, and a brilliant Waterwalkerz – a human hamster ball – even has him walking on water. It's not just for the kids; family sessions mean you can all join in the fun.
The queue to enrol for the activity sessions told its own story and the reps were inundated by passers-by trying to muscle in. Bright ideas like this should keep us rolling in.

Nissan says it will try to make its redesigned, 2013 Altima the best-selling midsize sedan in the U.S.
Fresh from a strong U.S. sales performance -- outselling rival Honda -- Nissan's head man says he wants to push the company's new Altima into the No. 1 spot usually held by Toyota's Camry and sometimes by Honda's Accord.
"We are expecting to compete at the top level, and we're going to take a shot at being No. 1 in the segment," Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said Wednesday at a session with auto writers in New York to cover the yearly auto show.
Here's an earlier post describing changes to the Altima.
At the short question-and-answer session with the newsies, Ghosn did not elaborate on how aggressive he was willing to be with discounts and other promotions to make Altima top-seller. But if a sales race is neck-and-neck later in the year, it would be unlike automakers not to start inching up incentives to take the sales crown.
Nissan has performed a swoopy re-do of the car's body, has dramatically upgraded the interior and has loaded the car with features and technology.
And, it hasn't jacked up the price. The base car will remain at about $22,300. The 2.5S model that Nissan says most buyers choose will be about $1,000 more.
Nissan builds Altima at two big U.S. factories and plans at least 300,000 a year, but could crank up to 400,000 or so. Best-selling midsize last year -- in fact, best-selling car of any kind -- was Camry at about 300,000.
The top-selling midsize sedan typically is the best-selling car of any kind in the U.S., making it No. 3 overall on the sales charts, perennially trailing the Ford F-Series pickups and Chevrolet Silverado pickups.
The family sedan segment is getting fierce fast. Ford soon will launch a redone Fusion. Chevrolet will have more new-design Malibus available. Mazda plans to introduce a dramatic remake of its Mazda6 sedan next year. Dodge soon will launch a new Dart sedan that gets some sales buzz because it's based on an Alfa Romeo Giulietta, respected for its handling and poise.
Camry and Volkswagen's Passat are redesigns. Accord and Hyundai Sonata were overhauled not long ago.
