Washington's budget debate could stir up new anxieties as markets head into March, even with expected reassurances about Federal Reserve policy from Chairman Ben Bernanke in the week ahead.
Bernanke is expected to soothe markets with a reaffirmation during Congressional testimony Tuesday and Wednesday that the Fed will keep policy easy as long as needed. But, at the same time Congress and the White House are likely to do battle publicly about the "sequester" spending cuts, elevating once more the view that political leaders have created an atmosphere of dysfunction.
To stop the "sequester," or $85 billion in annual automatic spending cuts, from taking effect on March 1, the issue has to be resolved in the coming week. But Wall Street is now betting chances are slim that politicians come together in a compromise, and they are likely to stretch out their wrangling, allowing the cuts to take place for a period of time.
"It will be the first time in a long time that we actually cut spending," said Daniel Greenhaus, global market strategist at BTIG. "There's a difference between is it a positive and does the market rally on it."
Greenhaus said the spending hit for the balance of the fiscal year would be $44 billion, and economists predict impact on GDP would be around a half percent reduction this year. Half the cuts would be in defense spending.
Greenhaus said Washington could continue to unsettle the markets as the month of March wears on, and Congress gets closer to a budget deadline March 27. He anticipates Congress will fail to come up with a budget in time, and the government could shut down. "My feeling was that February and March would not be as easy (for markets) as January," he said.
(Read More: 5 Reasons Not to Fear the Dreaded Sequester)
J.P. Morgan chief U.S. equity strategist Thomas Lee, one of Wall Street's more bullish analysts, raised warnings about the market in his commentary Friday. He thinks the market has entered a riskier period, and that investors may temporarily want to fade strength. The sequester discussion is one reason, and he is concerned that if the real impact on the economy is worse than economists expect, the market reaction will be very negative.
"I just think the market is not really well-equipped to handle bad news because we've become so bullishly positioned," he said. Lee is looking for a better entry point at S&P 1400 to 1450, but he is still constructive on the market.
(Read More: Pimco's Gross: Fed Not Vigilant Enough)
Stocks were mixed in the past week, with the S&P 500 ending at 1515, down 0.3 percent for the week, even with Friday's rally. It was the first down week in seven for the S&P. The Dow managed to close right on the psychological 14,000 mark, with a gain of 0.1 percent for the week, but the Nasdaq was down nearly 1 percent at 3131.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich, in a note Friday, also said Washington is a reason for concern. "Given potentially bitter fiscal policy battles linked to required tax and spending reforms in March, we expect some volatility in the next few weeks," he wrote.
Lee said there are a number of other reasons for caution, including headwinds for the consumer. The impact of higher payroll taxes has not been realized yet because some companies were still adjusting paychecks in February. "So we really won't know the full effect until the March retail sales," he said.
There are a group of retailers reporting earnings in the coming week, and their comments could reveal some consumer reaction to both higher taxes and gasoline prices. Retailers reporting earnings include Home Depot, TJX, Target, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Gap, Limited Brands, Dollar Tree, JC Penney and Saks.
Europe Risk
Europe could also come back into play, as currency traders are focused on the outcome of the Italian election. The fear is that the race will end with a fractured result, with no one party a clear enough winner to form a government, said Vassili Serebriakov, foreign exchange strategist at BNP Paribas.
(Read More: Italy Goes Down to the Wire as Nervous Investors Watch)
"That's the worst case scenario but that's obviously the risk is out there, and a lot of market participants are aware of it," he said, adding it made for nervous trading in the euro Friday. The election results could be known Monday, after two days of voting.
"We actually think the euro is a pretty good buy at current levels once the political dust settles. We think the highest probability is that we get a government that is center left, plus (Italian premier Mario) Monti," he said. Serbriakov sees very little chance that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party wins but he could become a spoiler.
Nomura's Jens Nordvig said he expects a big reaction in the euro if there is not a centrist party win. The election is being eyed across markets, as the euro and Europe led the decline in risk markets this past week.
"This is potentially the most important election of the year," said Nordvig, head of G-10 currency strategy at Nomura. "I think the risk is low that Berlusconi is going to win but the centrist parties have competition both from the right, Berlusconi's party, and the Five Star anti-European movement on the left. It's got 20 percent support now. Those two things together mean for the upper house, there's a high risk, close to 50-percent that the centrist parties will not have a majority."
The Five Star party opposes Europe and the austerity measures governments have been forced to take.
Also big for currency markets is the anticipated appointment of a a new head for the Bank of Japan in the coming week. The candidate is expected to be dovish.
Serbriakov said one reason he favors the euro is because unlike the U.S., U.K. or Japan, the European Central Bank is not following easy policies that weaken its currency. The ECB is not participating in the global currency wars. "It seems the ECB is not joining in and in fact it's actually shrinking its balance sheet," he said.
The British pound and U.K. market will also be watched Monday for reaction to Moody's downgrade of U.K. domestic and foreign currency bond ratings. Moody's stripped the Triple-A rating, cutting it by one notch to Aa1. Sterling fell in late trading Friday.
Fed Ahead
In the past week, the Fed added to "risk off" mood in markets with the release Wednesday of the minutes of its January meeting. For a second month, the minutes showed that some members are concerned about the impact of Fed asset purchases, which are ballooning the Fed balance sheet. The Fed is buying $85 billion in Treasurys and mortgage each month, though the Fed members also saw the program as effective. QE is credited with keeping interest rates low while driving investors into riskier assets, like stocks and commodities.
While many Fed watchers did not see a change in the Fed's message, the markets took the comments as hawkish. So Bernanke's semi-annual testimony on the economy before a Senate committee Tuesday and a House committee Wednesday will be closely watched.
"There's nobody like Bernanke, who can bring the dovish message home," said Serebriakov. "This might be an opportunity if they feel that markets have misinterpreted their discussion a little bit."
Congress is expected to ask Bernanke how the Fed will wind down its bond buying program, another longer term worry for markets. Bernanke is expected to reassure markets that the Fed will continue its program into next year.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, on CNBC Friday, confirmed the Fed's position on easing and spoke directly to some of the concerns raised by the minutes. Bullard is known to be somewhat hawkish and has said he thinks the Fed should slow down or stop its purchases as the economy improves.
"Fed policy is very easy, and it's going to stay easy for a long time. I think that's my main message this morning," Bullard said on "Squawk Box."
Read More: (Fed's Bullard: Policy to Stay 'Easy' for 'Long Time')
Bullard said the Fed's easing program carries a "punch" and markets have not yet felt the full impact of the Fed's additional Treasury purchases. The Fed last December transformed a program where it bought long dated Treasurys and sold the same amount of securities at the short end, into a program where it just buys Treasurys. Bullard also spoke to the Fed's discussions on the anticipated end of its program.
"It's true the committee is thinking about how we're going to handle this later this year," he said. "But that's a natural thing for the committee to be talking about."

Jim Handy, Contributor
I am an industry analyst covering the semiconductor market
Many of us rely on Yelp for advice on restaurants, dry cleaners, retailers, handymen, gardeners, and so on under the assumption that it is a democratic site that supports all comments, good and bad, without bias.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
I found yesterday that Yelp filters results according to certain arcane rules that are not even disclosed to the reviewers who donate their time and efforts to the website's benefit. When a business patron writes a review it may or may not remain on the Yelp site according to these rules. There's no real way of knowing what will stick and what won't.
I found this out when I posted a glowing review of South County Process Service. This company, which was recommended to me by a close attorney friend had but one Yelp review at the time, and it was scathing. As opposed to that reviewer's experience, my dealing with them was laudatory, warranting a very positive review.
When I notified County Process Service that I had posted a good review (my first on Yelp), they replied: "We'll see if yelp filters the review. All of our good reviews get filtered. I'm not sure why yelp thinks our good reviews are fraudulent."
When I checked a week later, Lo and Behold! My review had been removed. Did Yelp tell me about it? Not one word!
My wife, a Realtor, had a similar experience: "They seem be wary of first-time reviewers. If your first review is negative then they let you post other reviews, but if your first review is positive then they remove it. The same goes if all your reviews are positive."
She went on: "I called Yelp after a business associate posted a positive review about me which was later removed. They hinted that if I advertised on Yelp this may not have occurred."
Yelp's illusion doesn't match reality.
I contacted Yelp's press office asking what they had to say about this (and disclosing that this story was headed for a Forbes blog) but after 24 hours received no reply.
All I can conclude from these negative comments about Yelps Filtering Algorithm is that most people assume the worst when they dont understand how something works, especially if it affects them negatively.
Few things are certain, a percentage of businesses WILL try to manipulate the system and encourage positive reviews. Secondly, once these businesses realize their efforts have turned against them will retaliate and blame yelp till the end of the world because, frankly yelp can't defend itself since the criteria for filtered reviews are confidential. This could lead to filtered real positive reviews after the fact. A safe assumption is that their company might have been flagged already.
From Yelps site:
"Will Yelp remove or reorder bad reviews if a business pays for sponsorship?
No. You can't pay us to remove or reorder your bad reviews — it's just that simple. It's worth pointing out some additional checks and balances that we build into the system: among other things, our sales team doesn't have the administrative privileges that might allow them to remove a bad review for an advertiser; similarly, the folks who do have those privileges don't have anything to do with sales and aren't compensated on the basis of sales performance."
At the end of the day, the filtering process is necessary and beneficial to consumers. It's
I own a local roadside assistance service. Frequently my customers place positive reviews on Yelp. I currently have 13 positive reviews that have been filtered by Yelp. I also was called to purchase advertising, and was told in a indirect way that my positive reviews would appear after advertising with them. It is a shame that Yelp extorts businesses for over $300 a month to have their positive reviews displayed.
Paul Brown, EZ Lockout & Roadside Service, http://www.ezlockout.com
you can always change the title of your business to .. "Yelp hides 5 star reviews in the back filter." then of course. their "algorithm " happens to change the name of your business back to it's original name.. amazing.. how that happens???? And it's just a computer? I don't think so…. Liars!! YELP! that is what a bitch/female dog does when it is hurt… now who would want to think of a name like that for their business??? Only dirty dogs of course! Yelp= dirty dogs= cyber-mafia.
I think that YELP is BIASED. ( Judith's Boutique and Alteration)
They filtered 5 of my fast clients reviews that has 5 stars rating on all of theme and they display my negative 1. star rating on front. It is only the computer wise women can open these filtered reviews. That is not fair. Yelp Representative keep calling me, telling me how many hits I got on yelp and asking me to advertised and I told them exactly what I think of them.
My negative review it was a made up by a disgruntled past bride instead of accepting responsibility to stand up to her Mother and say no! she blamed me. I still got some clients that they found me on yelp and they decided to do business with me..
I asked Yelp to closed my account and they did but my reviews stay on the search engines. No question about it that if I pay them to advertise and maybe they remove the filter on my good reviews. I am not a good writer but I just want to share my point of view about this topic.
The most disturbing comment is from the "First and only comment guy" regarding the impact Yelp is having on Google searches. Up until a month ago the first Google search page only contained local business for my business category. Now two of the first page results are Yelp listings and two LOCAL businesses have been pushed to the second page. Google needs to take a look at their search algorithm and make it value local businesses over high traffic directories with questionable practices.
I have 2 Yelp profiles which I used at different times based on my old and new email addresses. I have used them in the past to review some companies and they were fine. However after repeated attempts from Yelp to sign me up as a client failed. they disabled both my accounts. I just found out yesterday that my current account is closed so I tried to use the old one and was surprised to find out that it is closed too? Because I did not want to sign up for their ads Now I can not even review anyone and I bet if I try to create a new account they will disable it. It s like Google saying if you do not pay for adwords we will not let you seach on Google?? Such customer service
Yelp is BS big time. A few years ago we were paying $300 a month and all of our reviews were up on top shining five stars, including those left from first time users. Then we stopped advertising on yelp after about two years.
Today, almost a year since we've stopped paying, we have zero reviews. All of them are filtered including those left by yelp elite members.
Tripadvisor works fine for us
Agree wholeheartedly. I posted a review of a fish and chip place in my city. Gave it three stars, but dinged the place on the fact that the whole place reeked of rancid oil. Just sitting there for 20 minutes caused my clothing to stink.
Even though this was a real review, they filtered my posting, along with the other bad reviews.
Yelp is off my research list. Their results can no longer be trusted.

Everything you need is here: bookshelves, hardware, and valance. All you need to do is install! With a few simple tools, even a novice can install the bookcase in less than half a day. The bookshelves are made with either melamine over an MDF core, or painted semi-gloss HDF. Made in USA.

There are designated areas for dog walking, mountain biking, rock climbing, hang-gliding and paragliding, picnicking and fishing. Scuba diving and surfing are other activities you can try in the park – in addition to a ride in the famous cable car to the top of Table Mountain, where the views are breathtaking.

I am not sure whether it is allowed or not.
Is trenchless pipe underground allowed in Chicago city plumber code? Thanks
I am not sure whether it is allowed or not.
Does India even have plumbing codes?
I'm looking forward to seeing some of the plumbing in India this Winter. It should be interesting what with all the different cast systems. The haves and the have nots.
We'll have a driver and car at least.
Using trenchless makes a lot of sense, not having to dig up the yard so badly. They do it in Washington State.
I have a feeling the OP was a spammer, but in case others come across this thread. In Chicago, it all depends on what you type of trenchless sewer work is going to be done. Lining of the sewer is allowed in most cases. Pipe bursting not so much, this depends on type of material being used as the replacement pipe, and location of nearby utilities. As for Chicago Plumbing code, it does not address the sewer, you have to talk to someone in the Chicago Sewer Department, and follow the Chicago's sewer and drain laying codes.

Let's face it. Most of the readers this book is going to attract are going to be introverts. The author herself is an introvert. And I'm not saying that Cain is being biased. The book is well researched and points to many studies in the psychology of human personality. But the gist of the book is basically saying that we need to champion the introverted personality instead of discouraging it the way we have been doing for years. All throughout the book I was like "amen sister!". But she's preaching to the quire. The people that really need to read this book, the extroverts, are probably not going to read it in huge numbers.

Champions League Postponed
World cricket was in crisis last night with the game's most powerful nation on its knees and next week's multi-million dollar Champions League tournament postponed.
There is also no guarantee the cash cow that is the Indian Premier League will go ahead next year.
The Mumbai terrorist massacre has ripped the heart out of Indian cricket with Australia suspending all cricket-related travel to the country.
Next week's Twenty20 tournament featuring teams from Victoria and West Australia as well as Test players Matthew Hayden, Mike Hussey and Shane Watson competing for IPL franchises has been postponed indefinitely.
"The safety of the players is paramount and the best decision is to postpone the tournament," Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young said last night.
A new date for the Champions League will be decided soon.
The England cricket team last night reacted to the terrorist attacks by scrapping the rest of its one-day series against India, with players told to pack their bags.
Earlier, Australian captain Ricky Ponting said of the situation: "It's a massive concern for everybody, it's a massive international incident."
The bombings have other huge ramifications, with the future of IPL, the game's multi-million dollar money spinner, being scrutinised last night.
The next version of the tournament is scheduled for April 2009.
"We can't take anything for granted any more, these bombings change everything," an IPL source said last night.
Although the Champions League matches scheduled for Mumbai were initially switched to Bangalore yesterday, the fact the bombings were aimed at foreign tourists means the tournament was doomed.
It is a grave concern because India is the new global powerbroker and for every dollar earned in world cricket, it generates 75 cents
Ponting agreed the terrorist problems in India, and neighbouring Pakistan where tours have been cancelled, were a huge concern for world cricket.
"There are a few places for us around the world at the moment, for us as cricketers, that have been cancelled or postponed," Ponting said.
"It does make it hard for us as international cricketers and anyone who wants to travel to India.
"It's a horrible thing to have happened. We hope that it can all be sorted out as soon as possible."
The impact of the bombings has been enhanced in the mind of every Australia cricketer because to many of them the epicentre of the carnage, the Taj Hotel, is India.
Among former skipper Steve Waugh's favourite photographs of himself was one taken of him at the hotel gazing out on the famous Gateway of India monument.
Australian cricketers recall actor Demi Moore shopping there and Matthew Hayden remembers opening his hotel room window one morning and spying the laughing club of men roaring with laughter to wake themselves up.
Cricket powerbrokers were in shock last night and the cricket landscape may be markedly different as future international tours of India will come under heavy scrutiny.
In Mumbai, heavily armed gunmen attacked luxury hotels, a crowded railway station, a police station and other targets as they took people hostage yesterday.

Europe & Baltic Cruises
(River Shannon Cruise)
Experience Dublin with your private guide before you set sail on an intimate barging cruise experience of Ireland's renowned River Shannon. With a maximum of 10 guests, and a crew attentive to your desires, this is an entirely different kind of cruising. Enjoy magnificent cheese plates and fine wines, while your onboard chef prepares regional specialties daily from freshly selected local ingredients, giving you a genuine culinary experience as you cruise alongside the green pastures, historic castles and vibrant towns of the Shannon region. Daily excursions with a guide will bring you even closer to the history and culture of this area, as you cruise the River Shannon between the towns of Killinure Point, Athlone, Shannonbridge, Terryglass, Mountshannon and Killaloe.
Cruise Departure Dates:
2014: Departs every Sunday from Apr 13 - Oct 5.
After being picked up at the airport by your English speaking driver, you will be brought on at our of Dublin. Your Driver/Guide will show you Dublin's major attractions such as Trinity College and the Book of Kells, perhaps the worlds most beautifully illustrated book. In the city centre region there is also St Patrick's Cathedral, Christchurch and the famous Guinness Brewery. There are a host of shopping and museums and galleries to explore in the historical Georgian district near St Stephens Green. We highly recommend the National Museum, Natural History Museum and the National Gallery to name a few. In order to give as much flexibility as possible, we have not included entrance fees and these can be paid in person on site.
Here are some suggestions for a pleasant couple of hours in Dublin: Have a stroll through the little-known Iveagh Gardens, which rival those of St. Stephen's Green but on a lesser scale and with fewer people, then cut through St. Stephen's Green and head toward Merrion Square. On a Sunday the square is lined with local artists' work that you can check out before heading into The National Gallery, which overlooks this same square. Head to the art gallery of The Royal Hibernian Academy (25 Merrion Sq.) or visit 29 Merrion Square to get a glimpse of what genteel life was like in Dublin in the late 18th century; Be sure to walk through the main gates of Trinity College and stroll around Parliament Square before heading to the old library to see the Book of Kells. After a quick stop off at The Kilkenny Shop (6 Nassau St.) and The Avoca Handweavers shop (Suffolks Street), head to The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre (between South William and Clarendon streets), a beautiful 1774 building that houses various small boutiques and one-off designer stores of mostly Irish designers.
Albany House (3* Guesthouse) is one of the finest examples of period accommodation available in the heart of Georgian Dublin on Harcourt Street. It was built in the late 18th century and was once part of the prestigious estate of the Earl of Clonmel. A unique blend of understated elegance, sophistication and warm friendly service, Albany House Dublin offers Dublin City B&B Accommodation in an ideal atmosphere of seclusion and comfort for those who appreciate such attention to detail.
Enjoy a half day excursion to the northside of Dublin with your Driver/Guide and private vehicle. Take in the beautiful coastline as you make your way to Howth and Malahide. Explore Malahide castle and desmene - a pocket of grandeur just outside of the city. Be sure to take your camera with you this afternoon on your excursion. In order to give as much flexibility as possible, we have not included entrance fees and these can be paid in person on site.
The ten passenger Shannon Princess II is the only luxury hotel barge cruising the waterways of Ireland. Her thoughtfully designed interior has panoramic windows, through which you can view the passing scenery, and includes a comfortable saloon, dining area and bar. The Shannon Princess II also features full length, roof top sun deck ideal for relaxing with a drink, or watching the sunset after dinner. The five suites have en-suite facilities and give a choice of twin or double bed configuration. The experienced Irish crew go out of their way to ensure your every need is accommodated. Your chef was trained at the Ballymaloe School and distinguishes herself at every meal with her signature dishes and your captain has piloted and managed the Shannon Princess II for many years.
With a pickup at your desginated meeting place, you'll be transfered by coach to your awaiting ship at port.
Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled in as your Captain and his crew welcome you on board the delightful Shannon Princess with Champagne, Black Velvets or Irish Coffees.
This Morning you begin your cruise around the beautiful "Inner Lakes" of Lough Ree and then continue north to Lough Ree as we explore some of the 365 islands on the lake. You then circle back to the River and onto your mooring in Athlone Town. After lunch you'll depart by bus to the Kilbeggan Whiskey Distillery. Dating from 1757, the distillery is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. On the return journey there is time for a visit to the village of Ballinahown, an artisan craft village.
The Shannon Princess descends through Athlone Lock and heads south through Europe's richest example of "Callow" landscape. Countryside little changed in over 1000 years. This is one of Ireland's premier Wildfowl Reserves. You moor at Clonmacnoise ruins, a famed 6th century university and early Christian settlement. After a visit to the interpretive centre you lunch on board enroute to Shannon Bridge, arriving mid-afternoon to this typical Irish riverside town. After lunch you'll sail to Shannonbridge and visit a local apiary and sample some wild Irish honey and other organic produce at Meadowsweet Farm, hosted by the owner. After dinner on board join the captain for a pint in Killeen's pub for some music whilst you pass the time with the locals.
You travel a very pretty stretch of the Shannon with an ever-changing landscape slipping by. Travelling down through Meelick lock, pausing as Portumna swing bridge is opened to allow the Shannon Princess passage onto idyllic Lough Derg. Moor at Terryglass Harbour. Lunch at the Derg Inn in the Village. Time to explore this charming Hamlet before your visit to Mossfield Organic Farm to sample some of their award-winning cheeses. On to "Leap Castle", reputed to be Ireland's most haunted house. You will be greeted by Sean Ryan and his family who will invite you in to their unusual home and Sean, a renowned musician, will tell you the fascinating history of the castle and the part it played in founding the American Constitution. Sean will gladly play a few tunes with possibly the added bonus of being joined by his talented young daughter who will demonstrate her amazing dancing skills.
A full day excursion to Galway City – A lively university city and cultural centre for Irish speaking regions in Western Ireland. Visit Galway crystal, and a profusion of craft and linen shops. Lunch at a Traditional Guinness & Oyster pub. Return to Shannon Princess and set sail through the especially beautiful Lough Derg passing Forrest Park and ancient mountains as you set your course for Mountshannon – a lovely lakeside village perched above the Lough.
This morning you set sail through south Lough Derg and her many Islands rejoining the River Shannon and entering Killaloe, once home to the court of the greatest High King of Ireland, Brian Boru. You'll moor on the Tipperary side of this elegant little town, with plenty of time for you to visit the town. After lunch onboard, set off by bus on an excursion to a unique project set in the grounds of Craggaunowen Castle, designed to bring Bronze Age & Celtic culture to life. Also on display is a reconstructed hide boat used by Irish Monks to sail to North America in the 5th century.
Meet your driver for an airport transfer in a private vehicle.
Please note drivers may or may not speak English as their sole responsibility is to transfer clients from one location to another. If you would like to have the presence of an English speaking Assistant or Guide for your transfer this can be pre-arranged upon request and would be subject to an additional supplement.
This morning you'll disembark from your barge, bidding your captain and crew farewell as you make landfall.
Upon disembarkation, you'll be transfered by coachback to your initial meeting point.

"I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. She was knowledgeable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

Yes, not a forum about performers' private lives. If someone was pregnant and wanted people to know, then there are plenty of ways of making it known. If that is the case, then it is information in the public domain and discussion is probably inevitable. Speculation, however, is another thing entirely, and I find it strange that anyone would condone speculating on the private life of someone they don't even know. I think it's fair to expect a bit more respect for performers than that.
She made the remarks in an interview, not twitter, so she could in fact have been misquoted for all anyone knows. Discussing how she could possibly remain involved in the show is one thing, but it's been known for a long time now that she's leaving the London production, so there's no real need to speculate on why that was at all. She's served the show very well and she deserves better than to be the subject of idle gossip in my opinion.
Had I said "Oh, she's filing for bankruptcy on Monday" then I would understand, however you have taken everything out of context as I have explained how it is valid as a fan of both Wicked and Rachel, as it impacts on her work. But you hit the nail on the head - it's all opinion and please remember that just because you disagree with a conversation thread, doesn't mean it's wrong to discuss it. I suggest for a continued discussion, it may be best you go see Wicked and form an opinion on the matter

Designer: Dale Edwin Murray
Client: V&A Museum Of Childhood
Size: 48 x 72 inches
Printing Process: Digital
Number of Inks: 4-color process
Bringing modern whimsy, to a retro-style execution, London's Dale Edwin Murray has often made me smile with both his illustrations, and choice of subject matter (check out his Hip Hop Head prints). Hearing that he had been hired for a campaign for the Museum of Childhood, I instantly saw a match made in heaven.
"The brief for this project was to create a poster for the V&A's Museum of Childhood that would encapsulate the concept and phrase 'playing is learning,'" explains Murray. "The image needed to appeal to children, but be targeted to adults, and the text had to be incorporated into the image. The art director pointed out some pieces from my portfolio that he liked stylistically, so I knew the final image would have a vaguely mid-century feel with texturing and distressing—an era and aesthetic that I am particularly drawn to."
Once the style was cemented, Murray had some work to do, and then even more work. "I went through quite a number of concepts before hitting upon one the one I was happy with," he adds. "The hardest part of the process was getting a good balance between 'playing' and 'learning.' Eventually I got the idea of using the beads on a wire toy to roughly form the shape of a brain. The beads on the wire were also a really useful vehicle for incorporating the text in the image in a non-clunky way and adding some color."
Everyone involved is thrilled with the results (especially me!). The image even found its way on to huge billboards all around London's Bethnal Green over the holidays. If I could conjure up an image to be 10 feet tall and instantly make me smile as I turned the corner to view it (and it had to involve kids), it would be this one.

I'm hoping someone might have experience here that could help guide me. My ex and his wife share custody of my two daughters with my husband and I. We share custody equally so there is no "custodial" and "noncustodial parent." We've been sending my daughters to a Montessori school and sharing the tuition costs 50/50. My husband and I have a very different financial situation from my ex and his wife. Our combined household income is less than $40k/yr, while just my ex alone makes six figures and his wife makes almost as much. However, I've never complained about being overburdened by tuition costs, as to me, a good education is priceless. We make sacrifices gladly and we make it work.
That said, my oldest daughter is in 5th grade. My ex and his wife feel that they are done after this year with paying tuition. We live in one of the "best" public school districts in our area, but we had a bad experience with the public school here when my oldest went there for her first few years of school before switching to Montessori. Furthermore, DH is an alumnus of this school district and knows all its faults. Yet my ex and his wife think it's best that DD1 go to the public middle school next year, transitioning with all the other incoming 6th graders, even though she could stay at her Montessori school another year (it goes through 6th grade). They have reluctantly agreed to explore other options but they are not taking them very seriously, and have basically said that they wouldn't consider them unless she got a scholarship that would result in them paying significantly less than they are paying now (as close to zero as possible). Their rationale is that they want to put that money they've been spending on tuition into a college fund. While I appreciate that idea, I truly believe that having a superior education is a better investment in not only getting into college, but getting scholarship money and having the solid academic foundation to succeed in college. They also have a fixation with her needing a "social life" and a "normal" middle school experience. (But we're talking a huge HUGE middle school, when she's used to a class of 9 students--DH felt utterly lost there when he went to that middle school).
So here's where the problem lies: Almost all the private middle school options are much more costly than our Montessori school. Based on my husband and my financial situation we should qualify for aid. However when we go to SSS to apply for financial aid, I'm confused by the statement they make regarding divorced families. They say that both families are expected to contribute as much as they can afford. Well, how can they say that if both families aren't in agreement as to the necessity to go to private school??
Am I assuming too much that a judge would take public school as the default option and say that the family which doesn't want to pay private school tuition has no obligation to do so since they could send the child to public school for free?
I just don't know what to expect out of financial aid offers from the schools we've applied to, because based on our income, we should get significant aid, but based on theirs, we'd probably get none. SSS said our expected family contribution is zero. But if they think each family should contribute what they can afford, they will likely say that my ex and his wife could "afford" full tuition at any of these schools.
Does that mean we'd get no aid? Because if that's the case, it would be a deal-breaker since my ex would be unwilling to pay it, and there's no way DH and I could pick up the slack. I'm pretty sure they'd reluctantly go along with a private school if they didn't have to pay much of anything, but if they were, heaven-forbid, asked to contribute the same percentage of their income that we've been paying, they'd push the public school on us. And since they have the money, it seems they have the power to control this decision. How is that fair? Why should we be punished for their financial situation? If he weren't in the picture at all, we'd presumably get significant aid and be happy to pay as much for tuition as we possibly could. But with this policy SSS seems to be excluding divorced families who can't agree on prioritizing private schooling, and indirectly discriminating against low-income families.
Is there a work-around to this? Has anyone been through something similar?

In a book I'm reading I learned that we use constant buffers in directX to minise the number of API calls needed to do state changes, which leads to better performance.
However, then I see the book using it like this:
The C++ application code typically needs to communicate with the effect; in particular, the C++ application usually needs to update variables in the constant buffers. For example, suppose that we had the following constant buffer defined in an effect file:
cbuffer cbPerObject { float4x4 gWVP; float4 gColor; float gSize; int gIndex; bool gOptionOn; };
Through the ID3D10Effect interface, we can obtain pointers to the variables in the constant buffer:
ID3D10EffectMatrixVariable* fxWVPVar; ID3D10EffectVectorVariable* fxColorVar; ID3D10EffectScalarVariable* fxSizeVar; ID3D10EffectScalarVariable* fxIndexVar; ID3D10EffectScalarVariable* fxOptionOnVar; fxWVPVar = mFX->GetVariableByName("gWVP")->AsMatrix(); fxColorVar = mFX->GetVariableByName("gColor")->AsVector(); fxSizeVar = mFX->GetVariableByName("gSize")->AsScalar(); fxIndexVar = mFX->GetVariableByName("gIndex")->AsScalar(); fxOptionOnVar = mFX->GetVariableByName("gOptionOn")->AsScalar();
The ID3D10Effect::GetVariableByName method returns a pointer of type ID3D10EffectVariable. This is a generic effect variable type; to obtain a pointer to the specialized type (e.g., matrix, vector, scalar), you must use the appropriate As***** method (e.g., AsMatrix, AsVector, AsScalar).
Once we have pointers to the variables, we can update them through the C++ interface. Here are some examples:
fxWVPVar->SetMatrix( (float*)&M ); // assume M is of type D3DXMATRIX fxColorVar->SetFloatVector( (float*)&v ); // assume v is of type // D3DXVECTOR4 fxSizeVar->>SetFloat( 5.0f ); fxIndexVar->SetInt( 77 ); fxOptionOnVar->SetBool( true );
But now they make separate calls, is this not beating the purpose of constant buffers?
If it isn't, then why not?
If it is, then how do I set it correctly? (I assume this has something to do with "ID3D10EffectConstantBuffer::SetConstantBuffer()" but it seems to be poorly documented)

"I was very pleased with the quality of the card. I did add the pearlized paper and was happy with my choice. The picture quality was good and everything arrived promptly."
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"I always get nervous ordering things online, so I ordered a sample first. It looked great, so I went for the big order. My photos look amazing and the quality was even better than I expected, for both the template and my photos. Much better experience than I had expected."
"The selection this year wasn't stellar but I sill managed to find a few to choose from. The card quality is thick and the printing is perfect. I have yet to have any imperfections. Thank you Tiny Prints. Ill see you next time!!"
"I liked that I could replace "The ____ Family" with "Merry Christmas!" The quality of the photos turned out great! I'm so excited to send the cards out! Thank you!"

After Circuit Judge Brian Howell pronounced the sentence, Jeniffer Morris, Sollohub's mother, hugged District Attorney Brian McVeigh.
Morris said she had been ready to accept whatever decision came back, but she had hoped that Howell would sentence Russell to death.
McVeigh said he was glad Sollohub's family got what they asked for.
"This had to have been a very difficult decision for the court but I'm glad he made the decision that he did," McVeigh said.
Prosecutors say that on Aug. 24, 2011, Russell shot the 27-year-old police officer in the head with a .22 caliber pistol as Sollohub pursued him near 19th Street and Moore Avenue. Russell said he ran from Sollohub because he was carrying a stolen gun and there were warrants out for his arrest. Russell was captured after an hours-long manhunt in the neighborhood where Sollohub, who died in a Birmingham hospital the next day, was found shot.
A Lee County jury sentenced Russell, 26, to life in prison without the possibility of parole in September, but Alabama law allows judges to override a jury's recommendation.
More than 100 people heard testimony from Russell and Sollohub's family members and friends, a clinical psychologist and deputies from the Etowah County Sheriff's Office.
"This has been the most difficult decision I've had to make," Howell said after the testimony ended. "Regardless of what I do, this man will never see freedom again."
Behavior in prison
Lorna Clark, Russell's aunt, testified that she has seen improvements in her nephew's behavior since he's been in jail.
"I've seen changes in him to where he understands what he has done," she said.
Clark said Russell has a positive relationship with his 5-year-old daughter even though he has been locked up. She said he is humble, expresses remorse all the time, prays and reads the Bible.
"He doesn't have all the outside stuff to take him away from all that," she said.
Clark's daughter, Kim, said Russell and his daughter, who they have taken to visit him regularly, "have the best relationship they can with the circumstances."
During the Lee County trial and Monday's hearing, Russell's family members told the jury and Howell that Russell had been raised in a bad environment and was on medicine for ADHD.
Though Russell's family said they noticed changes in his behavior, deputies with the Etowah County Jail testified they have not.
McVeigh said since Russell has been in the Etowah County Jail, he has had six disciplinary incidents and has covered up the cameras in his cell more than twice. Because he has been uncooperative, correctional officers have had to use pepper balls — projectile weapons made up of powdered chemicals that irritate the nose and eyes — and stun guns on him, prosecutors said.
Etowah County Deputy William Gilmer, assigned to detail on Russell in 2012, had asked Russell if he shot Sollohub and Russell said he had, Gilmer testified. When asked if he had any remorse for Sollohub's death, Russell said, according to the deputy, "He shouldn't have been chasing me and got what he deserved."
Henry Griffith, a clinical psychologist who testified Monday, said Russell's diagnosis of ADHD could cause impulsive behavior, much like the way his defense attorney said he reacted when he shot Sollohub.
Griffith said he believed Russell could function in a prison environment with the right stimulant medication.
McVeigh asked Griffith if his diagnosis justified sneaking fecal matter out of a cell for the sole purpose of throwing it on other inmates.
"If I defecate in a box, carry it out of my cell and store it in a trash can to later throw at an inmate, do I have impulsive behavior?" he asked. "Even when he is in isolation he will not behave. Where will he be housed?"
During her own testimony, Sollohub's mother called Russell a coward and a menace to society. She said because of Russell, her son will never be able to have a family of his own and will never be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot for the Alabama State Troopers.
"None of us deserve what Josh Russell did to us," she said. "During the trial I heard many excuses for a coward to kill a hero. It sounds to me like the people in his life have made excuses for him. If what he did does not deserve the death penalty, tell me what else he would have had to do."
Clark's daughter tearfully said her family hasn't made excuses for Joshua's behavior.
"We're not selfish people," Kim said. "We are truly sorry for what happened to your son."
Before the final ruling, John Robbins, Russell's court-appointed attorney, asked Howell to consider both the decision of the Lee County jury and Joshua Russell's background. While the jury found Russell guilty of capital murder, they also recommended life without parole instead of the death sentence.
"That's not something the prosecution can disregard," he said.
McVeigh said before the sentencing that he had never asked for a judicial override until this case. But, the prosecutor said, he has never had a case such as this before.
"I'm asking the court to override this and put this man to death because he killed an officer in the line of duty for doing his job," he said.
Howell said by phone Monday there were a variety of factors that influenced his decision.
Howell said he took new testimony offered Monday, other capital cases he has tried and the recommendations from the Lee County jury into consideration before making his ruling.
"I thought it was the appropriate thing to do," he said.
A message left for Robbins was not immediately returned Monday night and Russell's family declined to comment on the sentencing after the decision.
Morris said after the hearing that regardless of whatever the judge decided, she appreciates what those with the Calhoun County DA's office have done. She said they have represented Justin and her family "to the greatest."
"That's exactly what we were asking for," she said. "I believed that's what we would get. I had hoped that's what we would get."
Though Sollohub's family has received closure for the ordeal, Morris said, she believes she will likely see Russell again, whether it be at an appeal or at a hearing.
"I think we have a long road ahead of us, but this part's over and we're glad for the decision made today," she said.

Coastal Connection reported last month on efforts by Citizens Property Insurance, the state-run insurer of last resort for Florida homeowners who need windstorm coverage, to shed policies and raise rates in order to reduce the company's exposure in case of a hurricane.
This week, the Miami Herald is reporting that some Florida seniors are considering going without windstorm policies on their homes — or have actually allowed their insurance to lapse ("Senior citizens go without homeowners insurance amid soaring premiums," by Toluse Olorunnipa).
"Seniors are more likely to own their homes outright, meaning they have the option of going without property insurance," the paper reports. "As Citizens Property Insurance Corp. raises its rates and its post-claim deductibles, more older Floridians are doing the math and opting to do just that."
"Senior citizens covered by the state-run insurer also have to deal with limited fixed incomes, rising healthcare costs and stiffer insurance requirements targeting older homes," the paper pointed out. But Carlos Lacasa, the company's chairman, told the Herald that Citizens can't legally favor senior citizens over any other policyholder.
As Citizens hikes its rates, the effect is being felt in the real estate market and the homebuilding industry, reports the Herald ("Insurance 'sticker shock' for home buyers," by Toluse Olorunnipa). "Danny Hertzberg, a Miami Beach real estate agent, said that in the last six months he has seen insurance costs emerge for the first time as a 'big ticket item' with the potential to kill pending sales," the paper reports.
Citizens has also stopped issuing Builders Risk policies to cover homes under construction, raising the cost to builders. In the Florida Keys, according to Monroe County Commissioner Heather Carruthers, "Eliminating Builders' Risk has stopped construction and is damaging the Keys economy."

304 S. Lena Street 970/626-3737
Chef Adrian Musgrove of the Four Corners Café described his winning appetizer at this year's Taste of Ouray competition. Standing at our table on the second floor of Ridgway's Chipeta Solar Springs Resort, with a sunset view of the valley fields and the big peaks on three sides, Chef Adrian detailed his smoked salmon stuffed mushrooms with a peanut crust. The kicker was the creative way he used the competition's secret ingredient: Girl Scout cookies. "I chose the peanut butter cookies and made the crust from them."
That creativity extended to his winning entree as well, an oven-roasted chicken breast with a cilantro lime sauce, roasted chipotle potato pearls and braised brussel sprout halves with bacon. Luckily for us, this one is on the menu every night at the Four Corners.
Along with a half dozen other staples gleaned from Musgrove's training at two disparate but tastefully compatible prior positions: at Le Cordon Bleu Scottsdale and as the owner-chef of Ridgway's much-loved Welded Elephant outdoor barbecue.
"I miss my barbecue," Musgrove said. But the opportunity at the Four Corners, in Ridgway's upscale spa resort, was a clarion call. (He has been cooking all his life, beginning at age 15, at an Italian pizzeria in Germany.)
As with the Taste of Ouray competition, appetizers hold center stage at the Four Corners. And the sauces reflect Musgrove's classic French training. The cilantro and coriander shrimp cocktail ($9) comes with a particularly sophisticated sweet-and-sour rush. The bison sliders ($9) are slathered with a creamy sweet onion aioli sauce. And the brie and white cheddar quesadillas ($7) – with grape tomatoes inside and fresh berries on top – can be dipped in either the homemade salsa or a tangy queso cheese sauce.
Musgrove is pushing the Four Corners toward "100 percent local and organic." He figures they are about 90 percent of the way now. "Our vegetables change every week depending on what is fresh from our guy in Paonia," he said. The lamb is local ($22). The rainbow trout, especially good with a panko crust and a sage white wine butter sauce, is Colorado-raised ($15). The charbroiled sirloin ($24) is another southwest Colorado product.
They feature organic wines, too, though not exclusively. An Argentine Malbec compliments the steak especially well.
And, finally, the deserts – there are two or three new ones each week – come from Ridgway local girl, Sweet Cakes. The chocolate mouse cake is richer than Mayor Bloomberg. And there is usually fresh fruit or a cheesecake.
THE VIBE: The Chipeta is really coming into its own under new management, and seems to be attracting guests to its solar-heated spas and pools, its modern Puebloan architecture, friendly vibe, and to the scenic and recreation hub that Ridgway has become. Business is good. Accordingly, the Four Seasons Café will now be open year round. It has a new Sky Bar upstairs on the third-floor roof with sweeping views of the Cimarron and Sneffels Ranges, shade umbrellas, heaters if needed, and a full bar. You can eat on the roof, too. On Wednesday and Friday nights through the summer, they bring live music in, which usually packs the place, with locals and visitors alike.
$$ Wednesday-Sunday nights 5:30-9 p.m. Also open for southwest-style breakfasts 7-11 a.m.
