A discussion with the author of Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade
New York University's Fales Library and Special Collections and the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York (ART) invite you to a reading and discussion with Justin Spring, author of Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010) on Thursday, February 10th, 2011, 6:30 pm at Bobst Library, 70 Washington Square South, 3rd floor, NYC. (at LaGuardia Place). [Subways A,C,E, B,D,M to West 4th Street; 6 line to Astor Place; R train to 8th Street.].

About Secret Historian: Samuel Steward—writer, professor, tattoo artist, and pornographer—lived one of the most fascinating and sensational secret lives of the twentieth century. After Justin Spring, an esteemed art historian and biographer, discovered an enormous trove of Steward's papers, diaries, artwork, and personal effects in a San Francisco attic, he decided to spend nearly a decade piecing together a life so outrageous—and yet so thoroughly and painstakingly documented—that it almost defies belief. The result is this magnificent and groundbreaking biography, Secret Historian. Justin Spring has also organized the publication of the complementary art book, An Obscene Diary: The Visual World of Sam Steward.
Justin Spring is a writer specializing in twentieth-century American art and culture, and the author of many monographs, catalogs, museum publications, and books, including Fairfield Porter: A Life in Art and Paul Cadmus: The Male Nude.

Tapping into a frustrated public and the viral Web's love of pranks, one guy in New York is raising money to send 100 vuvuzela players to BP's corporate headquarters in London.
The horn that has converted the World Cup 2010 into the [BZZZZZZZZZZZ] inside of a beehive is doing the same on Twitter. Help us all.
Lifehacker is offering a video primer on how to filter the din of those noisy horns during soccer broadcasts. Our ears are very thankful.
Jeff skipped out on yesterday's show to cover the news conferences at E3, but he's back today and excited about the Nintendo 3DS, the first portable 3D gaming system on the scene. It might look like a DSi, but the 3DS has major graphical enhancements that allow for 3D gameplay, including dual lenses on the outside of the clamshell for 3D photos and a depth slider that lets you adjust the effect to your preference.
Nothing ruins a soccer game faster than 40,000 fans blowing their hardest into the most annoying toy ever created: the vuvuzela. Here's how to get rid of that sound forever.
Those tuneless plastic horns causing some headaches at the World Cup could be leading to other problems as well, researchers warn. But is the criticism overblown?

If you're the least bit familiar with La Eme's policy of ethnic cleansing in the barrios pf Los, then you understand that what Lopez was doing is not only unfunny, it's incendiary.
This bums me out because he'd been coming correct lately. I thought his TV show was great.
I'll never be able to see his little commercial spots with Dora the Explora on Nick Jr in the same light again. At least now we know that big head of his is filled with fetid hot air.
You guys take so much pride in your 'we're all adults here, we can print swears' policy and you won't print 'nigger'? Not that I'm exactly a fan of the word, but it's germane to this particular post. If you'll hide behind 'the n-word' and 'ni**er', why not just use 'the f-word' in your other posts, or [expletive] like the NYT does?
The most astonishing thing about this post is that the meticulous Señor Scholl let a typo slip into it.
I've met Lopez at a few movie red carpets. He's not a friendly guy.
This episode does and doesn't surprise me.
Huh. I'm from Mexico and I had never heard of mayate used in a racist way. It always referred in some way to the gay stuff.
what is this new word ni**er you speak of - and how do you pronounce it? do the quotes mean it's not really ni**er?
google provides me with very little information. are the stars placeholders or wildcards?
maybe nicker? or nisser?
@ 6 I live in Mexico too and I agree the word is used as a reference to gay stuff but never in a demeaning way to Blacks.
Gringos do not understand that Mexicans make jokes about weight, color of skin, big noses, big heads and they think it is FUNNY! They are not so ridiculously body sensitive as other cultures. Gordita or Morenita are used as terms of endearment but if you said that to a white woman you may get stabbed.
I'm not crazy over Lopez but I doubt this is going to be a big deal.
Greeks use the term "arapis/arapina" for a black person. I have no earthly idea why, but it originally meant Arab. It is minorly offensive. "Mavros" is a more polite term, that won't get one beat up.
As for the military comment, unless you go in "open general" you choose your line of work.
If it is true that latinos are dying on the front in higher numbers-it means they made poor choices in procuring their specialty. It is an inflammatory and false statement to imply that the US Military is somehow placing Latinos in harms way. My unit rotated with a number system-nothing to do with race.
"If it is true that latinos are dying on the front in higher numbers-it means they made poor choices in procuring their specialty."
So the military doesn't use asvab scores to "guide" people into certain M.O.S,'s anymore? And secondly, they don't recruit from, and offer "benefits" to students from impoverished areas at a higher rate than in areas where college/better income is expected after high school?
just asking...
@6 and 8: in the post, I tried to emphasize that the racial mayate is solely a slang term for Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, etc. In the passage from the book at the end of the post, it does point out that the word moved from being a term about sexuality in Mexico itself, to being one about race after it arrived in the U.S.
Your post was great and to be honest I do not have a lot of experience with
State side Mexicans.
I was just pointing out that perhaps Lopez did not mean to cause such an offense.
He could easily get away with it being a cultural blunder so I do not think it will end up being a huge deal.
If a white guy had said it, it would be a big deal. ; )
The most offensive part of this post was the writers' celebration of his uncle's gruesome death as justifiable payback for using a term of putative ethnic derogation.
Oh, gurl! It's not a celebration of his death. It's an indication of humor. It's like slapstick, you know? It's like something that would happen to Wile E. Coyote. I mean Coyotl.
Supply, HR, and administration are some of the safest jobs-and need very low scores on the test.
You are not convincing me.
Minorities join the military for a chance at a better life, one which is often granted in the military to those that EARN it. Many African Americans, american Indians, rural Whites, and yes, Hispanics have found a comfortable life in the military. The military took several of my kinfolk out of the docks and McDonalds, and into the middle class.
What the comedian claimed was that minorities battle at the front while whites get the cushy jobs. People CHOOSE their jobs. Many people, including those from the inner cities and the rural poor often CHOOSE jobs that will give them valuable skills and keep them relatively safe.
BTW, whites are overrepresented as deaths in Iraq. 65 percent of enlistees are whites, 74 percent of Iraq deaths are among whites. The minority overrepresentation thing is a myth.
I have no beef with complaints about the military. I would just like them to be based in fact.
Who the fuck is Nicholas Scholl and has this letter writer ever gone outside? Sticks and stones may break this person's bones, but words will shatter his/her sense of reality.
Like no one's ever called me a gook to my face before.
Well Nick, an "indication of humor" is, unfortunately, not actually humor. And if I had an uncle who was crushed under a load of telephone poles, I would probably resist likening his death to something out of a Road Runner cartoon. But maybe I'm just a sentimental fool, and need to learn the hard way that an uncle's mild racist proclivities merit a cruel, sudden death, which will eventually be turned into Slog-fodder.
Nick, thank you for the post. I live in a Californian community that is mostly Black and Latino (not near LA). Everyone here knows that mayote is used as an extremely offensive word for Black people. In some ways more hurtful than nigger bc it comes from another oppressed group.
I also appreciate you pointing out that you are *personally* distrubed by the word as a Mexican and human being. Too often people believe that they cannot be offended if the insult is not about them or their "group." Like people who say, "If I were a woman/black/latino, that would really piss me off."
HA Ha! Stupid Niggers! Kill all niggers YESTERDAY! And fuck off all you skanky ass licking Nigger Lovers!!!!
Get AIDS (they are the #1 spreaders both heterosexually and queer)from them and DIE!
wait a minute: other ethnic groups are bigoted, too?
i bet the next thing you'll tell me is that men in other countries oppress women!
Back in da day, La M started learning nahuatl in the joint. They used Mayate to refer to the black guerilla family gang. La M was aligned with the Aryan Brotherhood. The word became popular with the White Fence gang and is been used by Chicanos ever since. It is nothing but a racist term, this vato Nicholas is spot on
Mayate Angelou WHAT

mercury. There are three different forms of mercury that can cause health problems:Mercury poisoning is a condition that occurs in people who are exposed to toxic levels of the element,
- Elemental mercury (also known as liquid mercury or quicksilver) can be found in glass thermometers, electrical switches, dental fillings and fluorescent light bulbs. This form of mercury is generally only harmful when small droplets become airborne and are inhaled. If this occurs, signs and symptoms of poisoning may include metallic taste, vomiting, difficulty breathing, coughing, and/or swollen, bleeding gums. In severe cases, long-term brain damage, permanent lung damage and even death may occur.
- Inorganic mercury is found in batteries, chemistry labs, and some disinfectants. This form of mercury is harmful when swallowed. Signs and symptoms of inorganic mercury poisoning vary based on the amount consumed, but may include burning in the stomach and throat; vomiting; and/or bloody diarrhea. Inorganic mercury can also affect the kidneys and brain if it enters the blood stream.
- Organic mercury can be found in fish. Some organisms convert fumes from burning coal into organic mercury. This form of mercury is harmful if inhaled, eaten, or placed on the skin for long periods of time. Long-term exposure to organic mercury may result in skin numbness or pain; tremor; inability to walk well; blindness; double vision; memory problems; seizures; or even death.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara center Mekia Valentine was honored on Monday, a day after accomplishing a feat that had never been done before at the school. The 6-foot-4 senior had UCSB's first ever triple-double and was named the Big West's Player of the Week, the conference announced.
Valentine had 15 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocked shots in Sunday's 63-54 win over Northern Colorado. She was also honored as the Santa Barbara Athletic Roundtable's Female Athlete of the Week.
It is the first such conference honor for Valentine, who was a Second Team All-Big West pick last season and an All-Big West Tournament Team selection. Through the Gauchos' first five games she is averaging 9.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.6 blocks per game.
UCSB opens at two-game road trip at St. Mary's on Thursday in a 7 pm game. The Gauchos won't return home until Dec. 11 when they host UTEP. All UCSB games can be heard on AM 990 in Santa Barbara or streaming live online by clicking here

Aluminum Premiums Set to Extend Gains as Buyers Await Metal
Premiums paid for aluminum in Europe and North America are set to extend gains to records in 12 months as financing transactions tying up inventories keep buyers waiting as long as a year for deliveries.
The fee in Rotterdam, excluding duties, will rise 17 percent to about $240 a metric ton on top of the price of aluminum for immediate delivery on the London Metal Exchange, according to the median estimate of 11 traders and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The U.S. Midwest premium will climb 20 percent to about 13 cents a pound ($287 a ton).
"Metal has been withdrawn from the physical market into warehouse financing," said Lloyd O'Carroll, an analyst at Davenport & Co. in Richmond, Virginia, who has tracked the market for three decades. "We should expect more metal to go into warehouse financing."
Fees doubled in Europe this year to $200 to $210 a ton and jumped 46 percent in the U.S. to 10.8 cents a pound, both records, according to Platts, a unit of McGraw-Hill Cos. As much as 75 percent of inventories monitored by the LME are tied up in financing transactions, Citigroup Inc. estimates.
Premiums will keep rising for 12 to 18 months because of financing deals and warehousing queues, according to United Co. Rusal, the world's biggest producer.
Detroit, Vlissingen
Withdrawing the lightweight metal from Detroit, the biggest aluminum inventory, may take as long as 49 weeks and the waiting time in the Dutch port of Vlissingen may be as long as 56 weeks, Bloomberg calculations show. The two locations account for 52 percent of the 4.89 million tons of aluminum in LME-monitored warehouses.
The LME revised its delivery rules in April, doubling so-called load-out rates to 3,000 tons a day for warehouse companies storing more than 900,000 tons at a single location. The exchange has reconvened a steering committee before a six-month review of the daily rates.
"The LME has failed to date to resolve the warehousing issue," said Nick Madden, senior vice president and supply-chain officer at Atlanta-based Novelis Inc., which processes about 3 million tons of aluminum a year. "The existence of long queues permits the warehouse owners to offer ever-increasing incentives to primary producers, and this continues to put upward pressure on premia."
Aluminum for three-month delivery fell 0.3 percent to $1,851 a ton by 3:10 p.m. on the LME. Prices are down 8.4 percent this year. Supply will outpace demand by 370,000 tons in 2012, Morgan Stanley estimates.
Market Contango
A financing transaction involves a simultaneous purchase of metal for nearby delivery and a forward sale to take advantage of a market in contango, when contracts with later delivery dates trade at higher prices than nearer-dated metal. Low interest rates help make the accords profitable.
Aluminum for delivery in 15 months, or November 2013, closed yesterday at $1,962 a ton on the LME, $100.50 a ton more expensive than the three-month contract.
"There is still a reasonable contango to make money," said David Wilson, an analyst at Citigroup in London. "Interest rates are pretty much zero."

Connecticut Q&A: Dr. Robert J. Levine
Drugs for Humans, Tested on Humans
By JACQUELINE WEAVER
Published: June 22, 1997
ENROLLING human beings as research subjects for pharmaceutical trials has always been controversial, particularly since the 1950's when the horrific consequences of the drug thalidomide in pregnant women became clear. Meant to combat nausea, the drug brought on major deformities, including missing arms and legs, in unborn children.
Among the organizations around the country dealing with the conditions under which research may go forward is the Human Investigation Committee at the Yale University School of Medicine, whose chairman is Dr. Robert J. Levine, a professor of medicine.
Dr. Levine says the public's attitude toward clinical trials has been shifting significantly. Years ago, people were afraid of participating in drug research, but today many are clamoring for the opportunity, particularly in cases where the new drugs could save their lives, he said.
He recently discussed this and other issues before the committee. Following are excerpts from that interview.
Q. When does the committee feel it is ethical to give some participants in a research study a placebo while others are given the trial drug?
A. A controlled clinical trial is a trial in which one drug is compared with something else. It could be a placebo, which has no effect apart from power of suggestion, or the control could be no treatment, or comparing the outcomes in this group with historical outcomes. In order to justify starting a controlled clinical trial you have to be able to say at the outset that we have no reason to believe that drug A or drug B, which could be a placebo, is going to prove to be better or worse.
Q. How did this issue arise in the clinical trials for A.Z.T., the AIDS medication?
A. In 1986, when they did the first trial of A.Z.T., they wanted to do a controlled clinical trial because AIDS at that point was so variable; they couldn't be sure if what they saw was a natural fluctuation in the course of the disease or whether it was really a drug-induced effect. They justified using a placebo control because there wasn't anything else. It turned out that A.Z.T. was better. Now what you want to do is compare a new drug against A.Z.T.
Q. When is using a placebo less of an ethical issue?
A. When the stakes are low. When you are evaluating a new drug for headaches, we can evaluate the new drug against placebo.
The main reason for the use of placebo is that it greatly increases the efficiency of getting new information. If you compare a new drug with an old drug what can happen is that they are both usually effective, so you can go on and on forever and you never see a difference. But when you compare a new drug with placebo, if the new drug is worth anything, you begin to see a difference very fast.
Q. What other ethical issues is the committee deliberating?
A. In the field of clinical trials, we have the problem of whether to include women who are capable of getting pregnant. It's been standard practice in the United States since the late 1950's to exclude those women, even if they are members of celibate religious orders. Unless they were post menopausal or surgically sterilized, they were kept out of clinical trials. The reason for that was thalidomide. Drug companies and researchers don't want to run the risk of doing that again.
Q. Why did doctors prescribe it?
A. Thalidomide was being used as a sedative, and it was a wonderful sedative. The use it was introduced for in this country was to control the nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy, absolutely the worst time to give it because that's when you produce the anomaly. Now it's being used to treat people with AIDS, the wasting syndrome with AIDS, and it's even being looked at in some infectious diseases. I think it has no future as a sedative.
Q. What has been the result of excluding women from clinical trials?
A. For 35 years now we have not had any information on whether drugs are safe and effective in pre-menopausal women. This is unjust; we ought to be able to take women's word for it that they will observe contraception precautions or abstinence or whatever. We shouldn't be treating them like children.
Now, the Federal Government has taken note of the fact that all of our new drugs are coming out with precautions on the label saying that no research has been done to establish the proper use of these drugs in women who could become pregnant. That's a heck of a statement.
And Congress passed a rule saying that now you have to include women in all research that is funded by the Federal Government. You also have to include women in all research that is designed to develop any new product that is to be regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. So it's a complete turnaround.
Q. What are the ramifications of this change?
A. Now the problem we're faced with is what do you do when contraception fails and a woman who is taking a new drug gets pregnant? In the United States, if there is any damage to that baby, there is probably going to be litigation. The drug companies who would have much preferred to avoid getting into this fix are going to be called upon to pay large sums of money. So this is the problem now.
Q. What other groups have asked to try new drugs?

Not a great example of a brushless shave cream. My biggest gripe is with the consistency. It lubricates well enough but the paste/gel gummed up my double edge razor. No amount of hot water cleared the blade while it was installed - I had to remove the blade to wash away the residue.3
I've actually tried this product a couple of times in the past and I just don't get it. It simply DOES NOT work. I've been loyal user of The Art of Shaving shave cream but am always open to finding out if there's something better out there...if there is, this product is NOT it. It doesn't product a foam, the blade does not glide through it...simply put, it's a major disappointment from a brand that for the most part offers high quality things.1

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Those who cherish the art of the deal
might look at the upcoming BCS title game between Oregon and Auburn as a matchup between mega boosters Phil Knight and Bobby Lowder.
Knight is the founder and chairman of Nike, and is said to have
given more than $200 million to Oregon athletics over the last
quarter century. Lowder is the founder and former CEO of
Alabama-based Colonial Bank, and has written checks to Auburn over
the past three decades totaling deep into eight figures.
Together they are considered two of the most powerful boosters
in the nation.
Some say mega boosters like Knight and Lowder are good for
college sports because they turn them into self-sustaining
enterprises. Other say they do little more than feed into the
big-money extravagance of the games and give select people an
inappropriate amount of power at the schools where they donate.

Say I'm viewing an image on the attachment.php page.
I want to customise that template so that there is a 'next' button that takes me to the next attachment for that same post. And have a 'previous' button that does a similar thing. So it is basically cycling through the attachments for a given post. If I have 5 images in a post, this is like a mini gallery for the post.
I want to avoid just moving to the next attachment id number, because that might be an image from a different post.
So I guess at the top of attachment.php I need to query the database and get a list of all the ids of attachments from the current post.
Does this sound sensible and does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to proceed?

Email this story.
An effective if redundant fright flick, Jessica Alba's new vehicle, 'The Eye,' is the latest in an apparently unending assembly line of innovative Asian horror films turned into grist for the Hollywood mill.
Luckily the movie, which features Alba as a blind woman who begins to see ghosts once she regains her sight, is an exceptionally faithful albeit not slavish repetition of the Pang Brothers' intense, dread-inducing 2002 Chinese-language supernatural story of the same name.
Luckier still, it was directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, the superb French duo who made one of the most downright terrifying (and, paradoxically, one of the least gory) chillers of the last decade, 'Them' which, ironically, is itself getting the Hollywood treatment by 'Shaun of the Dead' helmer Edgar Wright.
Alba plays Sydney Wells, a successful concert violinist who had lost her eyesight in an accident when she was 5.
Her sister Helen, played with a sufficient mixture of solicitude and cluelessness by Parker Posey, has always felt responsible for the accident. So she cajoles Syd into undergoing a double corneal transplant. Later, when the going gets tough supernaturally tough, for Syd all Helen can do is watch in disbelief.
With the operation a success, Syd begins to learn how to discover the world with her lovely new eyes. But ... !
Syd begins to see what ought not be seen. Shadowy figures flit about at night. They come and go as they please, and they hiss at Syd, who watches as they snatch, one by one, what looks like people's souls.
'The Eye' revs up to its exciting ending with the inevitability of fate or of a remake.
Moreau and Palud elicit solid if not quite electrifying performances from their cast. And they manage to avoid the traps which made Bollywood's slick, high-budget 'Eye' remake, 2005's 'Naina,' such a bore. The French duo know how to build suspense, and are especially adept at using sound to pin down viewers in a virtual panic.

Wide receiver Vincent Brown was placed on injured reserve by the Chargers with a broken ankle. He was injured in the preseason against the Dallas Cowboys and likely won't be cleared to return until late October, at the earliest.
But thanks to the NFL's new rule on injured reserve -- allowing one player with a "severe injury" to be activated from the reserve/injured list if they are designated for return at the time of the transaction -- Brown is expected to play again this season.
Brown can be activated after spending at least eight weeks on IR. If he's not healthy enough to play or suffers a setback, Brown does not have to be activated.
Brown was a third-round pick in 2011 and had 19 receptions as a rookie.

Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, the lost boys, and Tinker Bell have filled the hearts of children ever since Barrie's play first opened in London in 1904 and became an immediate sensation. Now this funny, haunting modern myth is presented with Bedford's wonderful illustrations, which first appeared in the author's own day, have long been out of print, and have never been equaled.
About the Author
J.M. Barrie was born in 1860, the ninth of ten children of hard-working parents in Scotland's jute-weaving industry. Fascinated by stories of her own life told him by his mother, he was determined to write, finding work on the Nottingham Journal after graduating from Edinburgh University. In 1885, he moved to London as a freelance writer and successfully sold the Auld Licht Idylls, a volume based on his mother's tales. By the time Peter Pan opened on the London stage in 1904, Barrie had written more than thirty novels and plays, many autobiographical and several of them major hits such as The Little Minister, Quality Street and The Admirable Crichton. Knighted and awarded the Order of Merit he continued writing into old age. He died in 1937.
Praise For…
"Barrie wrote his fantasy of childhood, added another figure to our enduring literature, and thereby undoubtedly made one of the boldest bids for immortality of any writer. . . . It is a masterpiece."

It's early to start looking at basketball prospects when they haven't even played a high school game yet, but 7'1" eighth grader Connor Vanover is turning heads with his nice jumper.
Given that he's so young, it's incredibly unfair to start drawing comparisons or to start criticizing the 15-year-old's game, but a prospect of his size with such fluidity in his game has coaches intrigued.
It'll be exciting to see how Vanover's game evolves over the next few years.

What is the meaning of "On that note" and how do you use it? Does it mean "while we are talking about the same subject?"

It's a metaphor from music that typically comes at the end of a speech and means in that way or in that spirit. The speaker will say something amusing, profound or sombre and then say And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to end my address to you tonight.
In a comedic/sarcastic manner it can be used to indicate the unpleasantness of something said or done and the need to move on to another, less unpleasant subject.
For instance, three men are socializing at the bar. Man 1: "You know, I was thinking of wearing assless chaps to the party next week." Man 2: "And, on that note..."
Your assumption about it's meaning is largely correct. It typically is used to transition from one subject to another subject on the same topic.
It's meaning can also be expanded to include associated emotions or feelings. This can be seen in similar expressions like: "On a happier note" or "On a sad note."
I asked the original question. "And on that note" sounds musical. I recognize that it is a metaphor, but do we not have the origin of the phrase. It seems the original meaning has been lost. Betty

Historical Traveler Reviews TLH Leisure Resort Torquay
Best Christmas Ever
I stayed at the Victoria Hotel for 3 nights over Christmas. It was the most fantastic christmas we have ever had. All the hotels were decorated beautifully. They gave out gifts, free drinks, festive food. The atmosphere was very special. The food was excellent. I travelled with my husband and two children. The facilities for all of us were superb. My children are aged 7 and 10 and they enjoyed themselves so much. It was our second visit (we first went in August 2005). Would definitely recommend it to everyone. In the summer it was full of families with children. At christmas there was mainly older people but there were about 30 children.
It has all the facilities you could want. It was clean, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the entertainments team do a very good job.
Great Family Hotel
We stayed at the Toorak Hotel in August. The hotel is somewhat dated but is clean and comfortable. We had a superior terrace room overlooking the outdoor pool which was very spacious, the added bonus of the terrace was a god send as the weather was fabulous. The food is passable, although the service in the restaurant is a little slow at times. What makes this hotel is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The receptionists are extremely helpful giving information about activities in the area. Nothing was too much trouble for our waitress in the restaurant and for our cleaner in the room! There is good evening entertainment for all the family, and daily activities for the children if they want them. The swimming pools are great and with indoor and outdoor to choose from it doesn't matter about the weather. I would recommend this hotel to families with children. Your children cannot be bored here! We are returning next August for what will be our third visit and looking forward to it already!!
Great for kids of all ages
Got back today from a week at the Carlton, half board. Booked at short notice and nothing was too much trouble. Easy to make a reservation. Our superior, front facing room was well worth the extra and although very booked up, we never felt crowded. So many facilities to use that we hardly left the complex. Our children of 11,16 and 17 were well occupied and the days flew by. The food was very good, a real adventure of new tastes..some a work of art. Most of the entertainment was good . The swimming in all the various pools was tops. Parking can be a problem.
Batchelor days
we stayed at the derwent on the weekend of 08/04/05 .the entertainment was superb with the batchelors on stage for 2hours on saturday .and what an excellent show they were.
the food was very good and the young spanish waitress couldn.t have been more helpful.
the leisure facilities are first class and will take some beating whereever you visit.
the aztec pool complex has to be the best indoor pool in any hotel in the country. we will certainly visit t.l.h again
This is an excellent stay for both first comers and seasoned visitors to Torquay. All the TLH hotels are linked and you are never left bored. Entertainment is at a premium and of course there is always the swimming pool. Breakfast and evening meals are not to be missed.
1st class family holiday
We have been twice to TLH - absolutely fantastic for families - loads to do. The swimming pools are out of this world-very clean changing rooms.Entertainment every night and stuff going on throughout the day. Massive games room, even a baby's play area. Everywhere has a food & drinks area - don't need to leave the hotel. Staff are brilliant.
Torquay leisure hotel
This was the 10th year we have stayed at TLH but the first at the Victoria which is much quieter than the Derwent.
our children although 16 and 18 had such a good time that they are talking about returning next year. so many families return year in year out that they always have friends to share it with. This year the management even let them have the disco for a private party.
The weather was bad but no one complained.
the evenings with Kevin were the best!!!
Good for families
1st visit, stayed half board at the Carlton in a superior family room which was quite spacious. We did a last minute booking on the internet. We thought it was excellent value for money. Our 5 year old daughter loved it. Great for kids, lots of activities with the kids club, indoor & outdoor play areas, discos and pools. Would give the food 7/10 but the desserts 10/10. The entertainment was good. I think teenagers would love it too, theres a huge basement with a bar, dance machines, snooker & pool tables, ten pin bowling, cyber cafe etc. Many people we spoke to had been going there for years. Centrally placed with a short walk to the promenade. We would definitely return.
Great for families
We have stayed three times at the Derwent Hotel which is part of the TLH resort and have always had a good time.
The rooms are reasonable and the staff friendly.
There is an indoor and outdoor pool, the indoor one has sauna and jacuzzi. There is also an arcade with bowling, table tennis, pool, computers, play stations etc. The kids are more than happy to stay in the hotel all day!
It is quite good value as includes Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. The food isn't bad and there is always an entertainment programme which again the kids love.
A very easy holiday - no need to think!
Excellent value break
Went at half term in Febuary,not a good choice if you have no children.Loads of children around, many were not under parental control,therefore made things difficult at times. The hotel,rooms and food were good quality and the service in the restaurant was good,even if the staff were rushed off their feet!!!! A very good value break as we booked through the internet ,rang the hotel but quoted rates on the net. Would return(out of school holidays though)

Welcome to Onawym's final blog entry. I'm actually back home now safe and sound, me and Wym are 10,683 miles wearier but hopefully enriched from the experience (well me anyway, the poor old van is just the best part of 11,000 miles more worn out)
But I'm pleased to announce there's a little bit more to record before I wind up and sign the publishing contract.
I said in the last post I needed a little time to let Venice soak in. I'm not qualified to state that it ...
... got to the maritime museum and enjoyed the exhibits inside. The current major exhibition is on Viking history and it was excellent and complemented the exhibition we had visited at the Roskilde Viking Museum in Denmark. The maritime museum also had exhibits specific to the areas of Cornwall and South Devon, as well as a special exhibition highlighting heroic and daring feats by women from the south of England while at sea.
After ...
So the journey begins!
after a week long of 21st birthday celebrations, leaving dos and saying goodbye to loved ones..my journey finally begins! very emotional morning saying goodbye to mum and dad, brother and his girlfriend and my cousins..still trying to get over the fact that it's real! soo many different emotions!! excitement and nerves being the main ones! goodbye England! see you next ...
Cardiff to Plymouth
... to Swansea in Wales. We found the local cemetery and looked through the older headstones and found some Griffith surnames, together with other common Welsh surnames such as Jones, Williams, Lloyd, Owen, Johnson, etc.
After Llanelli we drove back towards Cardiff to visit the National Welsh Museum at St Fagans Park. The Park is a large open air museum with examples of buildings from the 1600s to 1900s. We spent over two very enjoyable hours exploring the site ...
And we are off.

Three Cheers for Kitten Associates!
We're so thrilled to have reached this important milestone and even more thrilled that nearly 400 cats are alive today because of our efforts. Our dream began with the hopes that we could make a difference, educate people about appropriate feline nutrition, cat behavior, and raise the bar on what a truly healthy rescue cat looks like.
We've had plenty of challenges along the way, some absolute heartbreak, as well as a few very big honors. This is our life's passion and we hope with your continued support that we will be able to continue on to our tenth anniversary one day.
What we need now are FOSTER HOMES, VOLUNTEERS (to take on a variety of duties from simply playing with our foster cats to helping write Grants, set up events, plan fundraisers). Basically anything you can do well, I bet it would help us grow a stronger, more vital rescue, too! Please visit the VOLUNTEER page to learn more!
I'd like to THANK our Volunteers & Staff for their excellence, their compassion for cats, and for their friendship. We do this together-it really takes a village to keep the kitties fed and healthy.
Freya had a 10% chance to survive a dangerous birth defect. With round-the-clock care and a few trips to Boston for surgery, Freya survived and is about to celebrate her first birthday. We never let cost prevent us from caring for our foster kittens. Each cat in our care gets whatever they need, whatever it takes.
Also, a huge THANK YOU to our donors, who shared with us not only funds, but cat toys, beds, towels, cat food, medicine, covered vet care costs. You keep us afloat and we are SO GRATEFUL not only for your support, but your friendship, too. THANK YOU for being there for us on the dark days and for cheering us on.
Mia, a stray feral, gave birth to five healthy kittens. If we hadn't stepped in, this story would have had a very sad ending. One of the things we love doing most is providing a safe harbor for pregnant cats or cats with kittens. After all we have to live up to our name!
As we begin our sixth year serving the communities of Sandy Hook and Newtown, CT, stay tuned for more announcements regarding just how we plan on celebrating our Anniversary (hint: you'll love it!).
We're Ready for Our Forever Families to Find Us!
Lucy (right) and brother Lolli (left) are among the many kitties we have who are still looking for their forever homes. Could you be the one?
Perfect family-cat, Laney (center) with her kittens Lucy (left) and Lex (right), love their iPad game now that everyone is feeling great again. They all had the sniffles for about a week, but are fully recovered now.
Lollipop (below) is one of Laney's other sons. He's almost identical to his brother, JellyBelly. The only difference is Lolli has a little white patch of fur on his chest called a "locket."
JellyBelly is our sleek black panther with a silly single white whisker. He's very playful and along with his brother, Lolli, are our best athletes. They can easily jump nearly 5 feet off the ground! Jelly is photographed with his "niece" Piglet.

Our Sick Kittens Need You!
Oh no!! Our family of foster kittens are sick—ALL 9 of them!
©2015 Robin AF Olson. Some of the kitties before they got sick.
We spent 5 out of the last 6 days going to the vet, doing tests, getting medications for our sick foster kitties. It appears they got sick within one hour of reaching us after their long trip from Georgia. We are devastated to see these animals suffering so much and are working round-the-clock to ensure they get the care they need.
©2015 Robin AF Olson. Piglet and Lex feeling awful.
But we can't do it without you. Last week's vet care costs was $900 and this week may be just as bad. Without your loving support we might have to cut corners and for vet care that's something we just can't do.
Thanks to a generous donor, all donations up to $500 will be MATCHED dollar for dollar so your donation will go twice as far. Please use the DONATE TODAY button to the right to make your donation or you can mail a check to: Kitten Associates, P.O. Box 354, Newtown, CT 06470-0354.
©2015 Robin AF Olson. Piglet, hit hardest, is also the smallest of her family. Our Vet, Dr. Larry examines her ears.
Kitten Associates is a 501(c)3 non-profit reduce so your donation is tax deductible as the law allows.
©2015 Robin AF Olson. We hope Piglet and her brother Jelly Belly will be looking this good again soon.

AIG Aims for Share Sale in 2011 as U.S. Reduces Stake
American International Group Inc., the bailed-out insurer, aims to sell shares early next year as the government winds down its stake in the company.
"We hope to be able to go to the market with a public offering of AIG this spring, but we have work to do to make that happen," Mark Herr, a spokesman for the New York-based insurer, said in a statement today. "We are working as diligently as we can to achieve this as quickly as possible, subject to market conditions."
The Treasury Department said in September it plans to convert its $49 billion preferred stake in the insurer into common shares and sell the securities. The company and Treasury may hold an offering for the stock in the first half of next year and raise more than $10 billion, Reuters reported, citing unidentified people. The Wall Street Journal said the U.S. aims to dispose of more than $15 billion in shares, with the insurer selling at least $2 billion in new stock.
The U.S. is selling holdings in financial firms that taxpayers bailed out at the depths of the financial crisis. The Treasury this week divested its remaining stock in Citigroup Inc. for $10.5 billion.
AIG slipped 94 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $43.01 at 12:47 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The insurer has advanced about 43 percent this year. The U.S. will hold about 92 percent of the common shares after the conversion.
Capital Markets
Chief Executive Officer Robert Benmosche is seeking funds from private investors to replace U.S. capital. The company sold $2 billion of bonds on Nov. 30 in its first offering since the 2008 bailout.
"We are completely focused on finishing work on the plan to restructure AIG and put it in a stronger position to begin repaying taxpayers and return fully to the private sector," said Mark Paustenbach, a Treasury spokesman. "We are making good progress on the recapitalization plan but it is premature to speculate about next steps."
AIG is focusing on global property-casualty coverage and U.S. life insurance after selling more than $50 billion in assets to help repay its bailout. The $182.3 billion rescue includes a $60 billion Federal Reserve credit line, an investment of as much as $69.8 billion from Treasury, and up to $52.5 billion to buy mortgage-linked securities owned or backed by AIG.
Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. and Lincoln National Corp., the other two U.S. insurers bailed out by the Treasury, repaid their rescues this year.

"The presentation of the keys" Top 5 Page for this destination Cape Town Things to Do Tip by CatherineReichardt
Cape Town Things to Do: 1,231 reviews and 2,191 photos
If you're visiting the Castle of Good Hope, it's nice to time your visit to coincide with the Ceremony of the Keys, which takes place at 10:00 and 12:00 every weekday. If you have a choice of times, attend the 12:00 ceremony, it is directly followed by the firing of the Noon Gun from Signal Hill which served as a time signal for the city and ships in port.
The uniforms worn by the guards are based on those worn by the Dutch garrison during the 18th century and unlike many other period uniforms are surprisingly undated - almost stylish!

Naughty By Nature
Better Than: watching 50 Cent do pushups in your parent's basement.
You down with OPP? How 'bout--do you know what OPP stands for? I'd have to guess that the majority of the "all ages" crowd is too young to have a clue, judging by the fact that most of them had a curfew to mind that evening. Naughty by Nature started out their set with their super hit, "OPP", putting things in old school perspective and reminding the older cats of their hip-hop roots.
Treach wore more bling than a Christmas tree, including a shimmering belt buckle in the shape of a crown. His co-star, Vin Rock, came out in a Twins hoodie. Naughty by Nature was all about getting the crowd involved, instructing them to make fists, jump, or wave their arms from side to side. The audience ate it all up, and didn't hesitate to shout back a "turn it up," or "check it out" when prompted.
Treach started out wearing multiple layers, but began shedding pieces of clothing until he was down to a white tank top, perfect for showcasing his big guns (as in biceps). Only half-way in, he decided the shirt had to go and attempted to rip it off. Unfortunately it ripped awkwardly into shreds, leaving chunks dangling around his waist. Eventually he slipped it down to his ankles and stepped out of the mangled cotton.
At one point, he stood mid-stage and took pulls from a bottle of Hennessey. Then he kissed the tattoo of 2Pac on his arm and poured Hennessey all over his arm. Talking to his tattoo in a low voice, Treach uttered, "When I drink, you drink. When I smoke, you smoke. When I fuck, you fuck."— uh, wtf?
The group played classics like "Hip Hop Hooray," "Uptown Anthem," "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", and a few less known in-betweeners. A chunk of their performance was filled with random samples of Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, and other more recent club hits. In closing the show, Treach made the DJ cut his beat to clear up any speculation that Naughty By Nature was a one hit wonder. (They at least had five).
Personal Bias: I got hit in the face by the condom Treach threw out into the crowd.
Random Detail: Treach was wearing "Naughty By Nature" boxers.
By the Way: Treach made a shout out to popstar Pink, saying, "She's gangster as a mother fucker. We love Pink."

What people are saying about Rhema CC
I'm from Sydney but visit the Central Coast fairly often and your radio station is one of the things I really enjoy when I'm up here.
Thank you for being such an encouragement.
So often a song or message is broadcast that speaks so much to me and feels so full of the Word and heart of God.
I have been very happy with the response from your advertising. I have met many lovely new people who mentioned hearing the ads on Rhema & many existing customers who commented as well.
Thankyou for your blessing.
I am writing to tell you how wonderful Rhema Central Coast is to our family. Our whole family love listening to Rhema, both the music and the teaching programs.
My husband recently became a Christian and he finds the teaching programs particularly helpful and informative. I find the music soothing and uplifting. The teaching programs are always very insightful and I learn something new each and every day.
Thank you for the privilege to have Christian radio available to offer hope to a lost world.
As a parent and family man, I have found the Christian teaching programs, especially those focusing on family and relational issues, to be invaluable resources that have helped to guide me through the early and curly years of marriage and family, and also in raising great children, while remaining somewhat sane through the process.
A great big thank you for the coverage you gave to our movie day. It was a huge success with 145 happy guests and I know a number of those heard about it from your program.
We were blessed with a beautiful spring day which was perfect for our outdoor afternoon tea. Everyone enjoyed the movie, it was 'light' with lots of laughs. Funds raised amounted to $1334!! We are extremely happy with the result.
We really appreciate your ongoing support with all our activities.

Researcher Esther "E.T." Franklin has changed the way the advertising industry looks at multiculturalism. By encouraging brands and marketers to take what she calls an "inside out" perspective—hearing directly what a group says is meaningful, not what outsiders believe to be the group's norms and values—she's helped them get a clearer picture of cultural identities and media consumption habits around the world. "If you look at individual identities, you can see things that might be overlooked or invisible," she says.
A good example is Franklin's work on Beyond Demographics, a trailblazing 2008 study that uncovered 12 distinct identities within the African-American community. "No one had paid much attention to the 'metaphysicals' who embrace eastern and western philosophies and are concerned about health, wellness and food choices," she says. "Another intriguing group is the 'thrivals,' who are young, well-educated, have a diverse network of peers and don't accept the status quo."
A Chicago native, Franklin, 54, earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and a master's of management at Northwestern University's Kellogg Business School. While working for a field service organization, she saw a TV special about Burrell Advertising. "I didn't know there was an ad agency serving the African-American market," she says. "I called the head of research on Monday and got the job."
Now EVP, director of cultural identities at Starcom MediaVest Group, Franklin specializes in Hispanic, African-American, Asian and emerging market consumers. She spearheaded the start up of the cultural identities practice, helping clients grow their brands across a wide variety of demographics. "We have created another discipline here, adding the concept of identity to multicultural marketing, and applying that level of understanding to media behaviors and influences," she says.
Today, Franklin believes advertisers must adopt an insider's perspective to figure out how subcultures are using brands. That's something Franklin is doing personally, having spent several weeks this past summer in Santiago, Chile, immersed in a Spanish-language South American culture. As she says, "There's no better way to challenge your assumptions and perceptions than to be part of the everyday experience."
Growing up in Cuernavaca, Mexico, Aldo Quevedo dreamed of being in TV. Then, as a student at Monterrey Institute of Technology, he discovered the advertising industry and never looked back.
He started his career at Ogilvy, but six years later followed his future wife to Dallas, and joined Hispanic agency Dieste Harmel & Partners. Today, he is president and chief creative officer of the agency, now known as Dieste and part of Omnicom.
In the past 15 years, Quevedo has built Dieste into a leading multicultural agency with a strong reputation for creativity and a long string of awards. He was the first Mexican to win a Lion at Cannes, and in 2004 he was inducted into the American Advertising Federation (AAF) Hall of Achievement.
To achieve clients' goals, Quevedo focuses first on understanding the subtleties of multicultural audiences and then developing relevant creative concepts. Pointing to the important, but often unnoticed, differences in Hispanic markets, Quevedo says, "Mexico is very aspirational to the U.S., so the tone for a McDonald's commercial, for example, would be very different in the two countries."
Quevedo believes that digital and social platforms allow marketers to learn more about the different mindsets of the U.S. Hispanic market—such as recent immigrants versus those born here—and develop appropriate creative concepts. "You have to anticipate where the audience is going, rather than chase the market," he says. "And you have to be willing to fight for your ideas."
For example, for Levi's, Quevedo's team recently created Norté a Sur, a 10-episode series Discovery en Español about five Latinos exploring the Americas from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. The campaign included digital and social components in support of Levi's retail partner JCPenney. "It was a very successful example of non-traditional engagement," says Quevedo.
But Quevedo's favorite creative accomplishment comes on a personal level, making up bedtime stories to read to his four children. "My family, like my agency, is an inspiration to me," he says. "One of my greatest rewards is helping young people take that next step on their journey through life."
Over his two-decade-long career, Mauricio Sabogal, president of world markets at UM and Initiative, has seen Latin America move from terra incognita for Madison Avenue to a critical element of their global growth plans. And many believe he can take a good portion of that responsibility. "Mauricio has accelerated the transformation of the media agency space in Latin America," says Nick Brien, chairman and CEO, McCann Worldgroup. "He leads by example, inspiring the diverse members of his team to do their best."
A native of Colombia, Sabogal started his career at Nielsen Colombia in 1990, and soon became a leader at global agencies in Latin America: Andean region president at MindShare, CEO of OMD Network in Latin America, CEO of Omnicom Media Group for Latin America. In 2009, Sabogal moved to IPG, and today he is responsible for 52 reporting offices and another 50 affiliated offices across six continents.
"I am a symbol for the people in Latin America who think they don't have any opportunities in the media business," Sabogal says. "I have shown them that they can build an international career. I believe that everything is possible as long as you work hard enough."
With his background in media research, Sabogal believes brand strategies should reflect the differences in Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Latin America. "Some U.S. Hispanics can best be reached by Spanish-language media," he says. "But there is a larger segment that speaks English and feels totally connected with the U.S., but still responds to content that reflects their Hispanic heritage and culture."
It's the same story in Latin America on a larger scale, Sabogal adds. "Hispanics in Mexico and Argentina think and act very differently, but both can be reached by the pan-regional media, including U.S. television, outdoor and digital."
Sabogal says he continues to get fresh ideas on media and technology from young people who are leading the way in social, digital and mobile media. Tapping their insights and energy, he serves as a mentor and career guide. "When I discover talent, I try to show them how to succeed," says Sabogal. "My teams are full of young people who have great skills and fresh ideas. I put them in high positions and they deliver."
