"Lyme Regis - meet the ancestors" England Off The Beaten Path Tip by aaaarrgh
England Off The Beaten Path: 138 reviews and 340 photos
On the south coast of the county of Dorset, about 25 miles west of Weymouth, is the pretty seaside town of
Lyme Regis. You will find some beautiful cliffs and beaches here.
But what makes Lyme Regis special is that it is now a World Heritage Site. Vast quantities of fossils have been discovered in the cliffs. And continue to be discovered.
Because of the geology of the area, rocks dating back to the Jurassic period, 200million years old, are exposed at Lyme Regis.
Apparently Springtime is best to come and find lots of fresh fossils on the beach. Every winter the storms wash more objects out of the rock. Watch for bellemnites (very common, pencil-like sea creatures) and ammonites (like coiled squid) amongst the pebbles. Kids seem to love this sort of thing, we could hardly drag my neice of the beach :-)
The earliest collectors found complete skeletons of prehistoric fish and reptiles.
If you can't be arsed to look yourself, and have some cash, there are gift shops selling large fossil specimens.
There is a museum and large carparks at Charmouth, from which we walked a mile or two along the beach to Lyme Regis itself.
Have fun! Directions how to get there by train or car are on the Lyme Regis website...

Jessica Simpson's 10 Best Singles Ever
From her sugary pop debut on 1999's 'Sweet Kisses' to her Nashville-fueled country crossover on 2008's 'Do You Know,' we've rounded up Jessica Simpson's best singles ever.
Jessica Simpson joined the fray of emerging pop superstars in the late '90s and early '00s with "I Wanna Love You Forever," the lead single from her 1999 debut album, Sweet Kisses. She solidified her breakthrough success with "Irresistable," another smash hit from her 2001 sophomore effort of the same name. Her popularity among fans put her side-by-side with fellow pop singers Britney Spears and Christina Aguleira, as well as a host of boy bands, including Backstreet Boys, N'Sync and 98 Degrees. Her association with the latter would introduce Jessica to her first husband, Nick Lachey. Their marriage went on to become the subject of a popular MTV reality series, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The show ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2005 at which time the couple announced their separation, finalizing their divorce the next year. Jessica remarried to 49ers football player Eric Johnson in 2014, with whom she has two children.

Postal Service Uncertainty Hurting Paper Industry, Domtar Says
Domtar Corp., the largest North American maker of paper for printers and copiers, is among companies hurt by uncertainty about the future of the U.S. Postal Service, which may run out of money in September, an executive said.
Domtar may see less of its printed paper sent as advertising mail if mailers don't know what sort of future the Postal Service has, Rob Melton, vice president of converting papers and strategic accounts, said today in Washington. The company has shut down paper machines at four mills since 2007.
"Uncertainty about the viability of the Postal Service will negatively impact mailer and marketer decisions to choose mail, so the urgency to restore confidence that the Postal Service is a dependable partner is great," Melton, whose company is based in Montreal, today told the House Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Labor Policy.
The Postal Service, which this week posted a loss of $2.6 billion for its fiscal second quarter, is asking Congress to allow it to delay a required $5.5 billion payment for health benefits of future retirees. That payment is due in September.
The service is also seeking permission to more easily close post offices and other facilities.

Need advice, please...
I'd like to transition a current HTML site over to WordPress, but I don't want to take the HTML site offline because we'll lose business.
Is it possible to install WordPress in the home directory with the HTML pages? Will the HTML pages over-ride the WordPress pages when a visitor comes to our site?
Or, should I just install WordPress & the template in a sub-directory, move the content over, then RE-INSTALL WordPress in the home directory when I'm ready to go live?
I can't decide which would be a smarter way... any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

The 5 meter curved bay window affords you a wonderful ocean and garden view.
Within walking distance there's the beaches, shops, restaurants, bars, convenience stores and a fresh fish, fruit, flowers and Thai food traditional market on the doorstep.
It is very easy to get around to the other better beaches with the many public buses, taxis or just hire a car or motorbike. The busier beaches like Chaweng are just 10 minutes away.
Guest Access
Please note the ceiling beams in the studio are 5 ft 9 approx and so the space is more suited to smaller guests.

I am very happy to welcome the guests into the home and give a thorough breakdown of whats on offer on the island as well as pointing out the best places to eat and drink. I'm happy to arrange trips and transport and will always be available to help the guests at anytime, ensuring the best possible holiday experience.

The area is one of the most sought after, exclusive and affluent spots on the island favored highly by local expats living here due to it's proximity to everything and yet quiet and quaint village feel.

To keep the daily rental price down, we do not include the electric. As we have guests who leave the aircon on all day and others happy to use the fans only, it is only fair that this should be a direct cost per guest.
The electric in Thailand is not expensive anyway and will be explained to you by Graham on arrival.

Your Host
We are cool laid back happy and love enjoying Samui. Been here since 2003 and love to share our home and island with visitors.

We just got back from 3 weeks in Maui where we stayed at the Royal Kahana for the second year. We had a one bedroom oceanview condo on the 11th floor with a great view of Molokai. The condo was more than adequate and very roomy, the carpet could have been cleaned before we got there but apart from this we have no complaints. We couldn't use our stove the first day due to wrong burner saucers but this was fixed as soon as we mentioned to the front desk. All staff members were very friendly and always ready to help with a smile. A special thank you to Vandetta (administration) who helped us with the Wi-Fi as the signal was very poor. The pool area can get crowded but there is always room on the lawn. This year was a little (well maybe a lot) more windy than last year but the whales and turtles that we could see from our lanai were everyday a bonus and made up for the breeze...
We do agree with other "tenants" that, yes, the building is getting old and that some updates should be considered. Having said that we are looking forward to our next stay next February for 4 weeks
We would also mention Chip and Rebeca, the concierges. We met Rebeca last year and were glad to see that she was there this year also. Chip and Rebeca arranged some great days of discovery on Maui and also in Pearl Harbor. They are a source of information and good ideas, we are already planning our adventures for next year.

- Make yourself at home in Kahana. This beachfront community is the calm cousin to West Maui's high-profile destinations of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua Resort. You won't find the typical string of Maui hotels, dazzling storefronts, and streams of shoppers and diners – although that's only a few minutes away if the mood strikes. Welcome the sun on a morning stroll chasing waves along the sand. Breathe in the breeze that sweeps across the ocean view from your high-rise lanai. Marvel at humpback whales slapping and rolling so close to shore! ... more less

Objectivization of Audio-Video Correlation Assessment Experiments
The purpose of this paper is to present a new method of conducting an audio-visual correlation analysis employing a head-motion-free gaze tracking system. First, a review of related works in the domain of sound and vision correlation is presented. Then assumptions concerning audio-visual scene creation are shortly described. The objectivization process of carrying out correlation tests employing gaze-tracking system is outlined. The gaze tracking system developed at the Multimedia Systems Department is described, and its use for carrying out subjective tests is given. The results of subjective tests examining the relationship between video and audio associated with the video material are presented. Conclusions concerning the new methodology, as well as future work direction, are provided.

Bayou Bienvenue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Bayou Bienvenue is a 12.1-mile-long (19.5 km)[1] bayou in southeastern Louisiana. It runs along the political border between Orleans Parish and St. Bernard Parish to the east of New Orleans.
The bayou crosses the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, before ending in Lake Borgne, a shallow estuarine lake branching from the Mississippi Sound.
A short distance from the Lake end of Bayou Bienvenue, the remains of Battery Bienvenue still guard the eastern approach to the city. This fortification was built shortly after 1815's Battle of New Orleans to prevent any future invasion of the city by way of the Lake and Bayou.

U.S.'s Best Mideast Policy Is Through Israel: Daniel Kurtzer
Does the U.S. have the assets, influence and will to affect the course of Middle East politics?
At first glance, the answer appears self-evident given the extent of the country's involvement in the region. Since the 1970s, the U.S. has been seized with Arab-Israeli peacemaking and has given Egypt more than $70 billion in aid. The U.S. has deployed military assets in the Persian Gulf to secure oil exports at a cost of $6.27 trillion from 1980 through 2007. Adding the wars and development in Iraq and Afghanistan, the total rises to $6.8 trillion.
After all this investment, U.S. standing among the region's populations is not high. The perception on the Arab "street" is that U.S. assistance has lined the pockets of now-deposed leaders. U.S. naval activities in the region are seen as protecting the oil interests of American companies. And U.S. diplomacy in the Arab-Israeli conflict is criticized as providing cover for Israeli occupation practices.
In other words, U.S. investments in the Middle East over the past three decades had value when they were made and continuing value tied to the political fortunes of the rulers in power. With the departure of these leaders, such as Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Zine el Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, there is almost no present value for U.S. investments in the region.
In assessing U.S. influence, a second factor is the fact that Egypt's revolution is nationalistic at its core. Egyptians rose up against Mubarak not only because of the authoritarianism, crony capitalism and corruption that marked his tenure, but also as an expression of pride and determination to "take their country back."
Limited Potential
In this respect, the possibility of influence from the outside is not only limited, but trying to exert it can be counterproductive. Even well-intentioned offers of assistance could be seen as an effort to exercise control over Egypt.
During the 18 days of protests preceding Mubarak's ouster, many of these elements were evident in U.S. relations with Egypt.
Statements by the Obama administration were examined by both the regime and the demonstrators for evidence of U.S. thinking and support. However, neither the public statements nor the messages conveyed in daily phone calls to Egypt's leadership had any discernible effect on the substance or timing of events on the ground. The protestors were intent on this being an Egyptian uprising and that determination has carried over into the more nuanced political maneuvering now underway.
Military Push
Similarly, the military and political establishments made decisions based on their own assessments of internal affairs and the prospect of stability. The generals seemed to understand earlier than most that Mubarak could not remain aloof from the demands of the demonstrators.
The military tried first to make a persuasive case for resolving the crisis with the appointment of a vice president and the announcement that Mubarak would not run for reelection. When this gambit proved to be too little, too late, it was the military that ultimately pushed Mubarak from office. Their calculations derived from internal analysis, with little or no apparent influence from outsiders.
This analysis suggests that the U.S. will not have much sway over the outcome of the Egyptian upheaval, and that it would be wise for the U.S. to avoid pushing ideas or aid on Egypt, unless these are solicited by the next government.
For sure, more assertive policies -- even if well-intentioned -- must be avoided. These would include a U.S. or international plan for Egyptian economic development; a U.S. demand for Egypt to reaffirm its peace treaty with Israel; or some new linkage that Congress or the administration attaches to existing aid to Egypt. Each of these steps would be perceived as cutting across the central nationalist message of the uprising.
Best Strategy
Does this mean the U.S. must sit by idly while Egypt and the region undergo potentially revolutionary change? Not necessarily.
There is one set of U.S. policies that would impact positively on developments in Egypt and elsewhere and draw the collective breath of the Arab street: a determined, pro-active, aggressive effort to achieve a breakthrough in Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. The Obama administration is already on record as committed to this goal; two years of sustained effort without results prove the need for a more coherent and encompassing strategy.
The time is right for agile, creative and sustained U.S. peace diplomacy. American-led advances in the peace process will not determine the future of Arab democracy, but such activity will reassert the U.S.'s leadership role in the one area where its influence can make a difference.

In one of the recent updates an /event/ has crept into the url of individual event pages.
Example from my site http://www.irishtriathlon.com/race-calendar-ireland/hellfire-adventure/ has now become http://www.irishtriathlon.com/race-calendar-ireland/event/hellfire-adventure/
In the Event Manager Options >> pages >> permalinks slugs, I have left the left the events text box empty, as I don't want the /event/ in the url. Is there another place or another settings that I have also to change?
Reason: my request is to help the websites SEO. The words Ireland, calendar, race, triathlon are all useful, but the word 'event' is not, hence I don't want it in the url.
Note: the old event url auto redirects to the new longer url, so it's not a huge problem for links coming from other websites.

|I believe there is a lower set of chains about 20 feet below the upper anchors. I super recommend lowering from the lower anchors, as the upper anchors involve mossy 5.6 slab climbing and makes for a rope-rubbing/abrasion test lower that really isn't worth it.
By Jacy Armbruster

|The lower chains are for the 5.6 trad route on the right side of the Arete. Climb another 20 feet to get to the chains of Human Foot.

|You can probably do the rappel with a 60 meter, but I'd recommend 70.
By Nick Drake
Sep 20, 2015
|The lower anchor for the 5.6 is rusting, I personally wouldn't TR or lower off of them. Setting up a TR off the upper anchor will result in a bit of rope drag. A 60m easily reaches the ground rapping off the upper anchor down the face to the left.

This might be too obscure for most people, but I want to put it out there anyway. Perry is fermented pears (sort of a pear cider, if you will - from what I read in Wikipedia, perry produced outside the UK is, in fact, called pear cider). While I cannot see any halachic problems with this (it's not made from grapes, and would not be processed in the same place as wine is), and in theory should also be kosher for passover, I have yet to find any indication that there is a kosher certification for perry. If anyone can shed any light on this (and if there is a kosher perry available, let me know!), I would appreciate it.

Spring Into Your Customers' Open Hands: Matching Mobile Content to Customer NeedsBy Lindsay Mineo
If there's one catchphrase internet marketers are sick of hearing about by now, it's content marketing. And if there's a second catchphrase, it's mobile marketing. And if you've been following our blog posts this month, you've gathered we're all about springing forward and being productive. And if you're still with me, you've gathered this post is about springing into mobile content (don't you feel smart?).
Seriously, you should keep reading.
Along with cleaning the lint behind your clothes dryer and finally dragging that load of donations to Goodwill, the new season means you've taken the time to do some spring cleaning on your website and maybe even implemented a sweepstakes to kickstart a new goal (or at least you've thought about it…right?). Now it's time to tackle that mobile market with compelling content.
SEO isn't just about creating content for the Google bots, it's just as much about creating a positive user experience. And since probably at least a third of your online market is using a mobile or tablet device, isn't it about time you considered their experience?
How many mobile visitors do you really have?
We've been hearing that mobile users are increasing for a couple of years now, and we've been told to get on the mobile bandwagon for almost as long, but why not figure out exactly how many mobile users are going to your website? After all, isn't that what you're concerned about?
Did you know you can use Google Analytics to determine the exact number of people visiting your site on mobile or tablet devices? Here's how.
- Track the growth in organic mobile and tablet visitors and compare these numbers to non-mobile visitors. (By default, GA includes tablets in mobile numbers.) GA > Standard Reports > Audience > Mobile > Overview
- Track direct and referral traffic on mobile and tablet devices. These numbers often tell you things like how many people are clicking on a link from a social profile on their smartphones or tablets (twofer: gain insight into how your social media marketing is going, too!). GA > Traffic Sources > Sources > Referrals; Advanced Segments > Mobile Traffic > Tablet Traffic
- Track your mobile landing pages and exit pages to determine when visitors are entering your site and when they're leaving it. This can tell you what content you need to keep them on your site. Same as above; Primary Dimension > Landing Page
Know your customer's wants and needs
So, you know you have mobile and tablet visitors coming to your website. Now, to create uniquely mobile content or not to create uniquely mobile content? That is the question.

- Start by creating a mobile persona – a character you can use to help you determine the type of mobile-friendly content you need to start creating. What does this person want to learn about on your mobile website? What does she want to buy? What is her intent? Followers on your social media profiles can help you answer these questions and flesh out a persona.
- Determine what device(s) your persona is using. Chances are she's going to want different things if she's out and about with her smartphone or on the couch at home with her tablet.
- Determine which keywords your persona is using. This may be different from the keywords you want to be found for! What is your persona actually searching for? What is her actual intent behind that search? Are her searches different based on the device she happens to be using at the time?
Below is a screenshot of conversions from keyword searches on a desktop. They're general searches and follow a predictable format.
Now you'll see below a screenshot of conversions from keyword searches on mobile devices. Notice the difference? These are very specific, almost site and navigation oriented. (note: Hat tip to Bridget Randolph for the mobile Advanced Segment idea!)
Cater to your customer's every desire
OK, maybe not every desire (there are some things we wouldn't touch with a 39 ½ foot pole). But now that you know what your target audience is looking for and how they conduct their searches, you can create magnificent content that satisfies their needs.
Michael King tells us that mobile content – just like non-mobile content – must fulfill the need associated with the search intent and give the user the compelling experience they're searching for. It only makes sense that a person searching for a specific item or action will convert with the first site that fulfills that need – make it so that they can't help but convert on your site. The mobile experience should be easy for your visitors or chances are they'll bail and hit up one of your competitors.
The type of content you provide your mobile and tablet visitors is also dependent on the type of mobile website you offer. We've already gone into detail on the differences between a responsive website design and a separate mobile website, but you want to make your choice based on the intent your mobile users have when visiting your website. With mobile and tablet devices you're afforded the opportunity to take advantage of features your desktop visitors don't have, such as a camera or GPS, allowing you to create an experience tailored to mobile and tablet users.
Buzzfeed is a great example of a responsive mobile website because its users are going to the site on desktop, tablet and mobile devices for one thing and one thing only: awesome lists. They don't offer anything different to their mobile or tablet users because their mobile and tablet users don't want anything different.
NPR is a good example of a separate mobile website that gives mobile users easy access to the top stories, clean and simple organization for the rest of the stories, and links to their mobile app and live radio streaming.
Southwest has a separate mobile website that offers completely different content to its mobile users than to its desktop users. Large, clickable links to the items a mobile visitor is most likely to need sorted by likelihood of intent, with reservations and check in (transactions) at the top.
All have a layout that is large enough to read on a mobile screen without altering or zooming (which is just one more annoying step away from the content), all have enough engaging content to keep visitors on their sites from any device, and all have the option to visit the regular desktop site with one tap.
Being there for your customers (or your clients' customers) is what SEO is really all about. People are already searching for your industry; it's your job to get found and give them a reason to stay. All the onsite optimization and keyword rankings in the world won't keep visitors on your mobile site (especially since mobile users are especially fickle), so you have to turn to compelling, unique content for mobile and tablet users that truly speaks to their intentions. Match your content to your customer needs based on the device they're using and you might just land squarely in the palms of their hands.

I've just tested the plugin and I should say it's a great one!
But I have a problem. I wanted to test if the point system works properly and that's why I created a game trying to predict it. I entered some random score and the message "Changes saved." appears but it's like it doesn't really saved my prediction...
Then I've tried to set the date of the game somewhere in the next 2-3 days and it worked fine - I could predict the games. After few more tests, I found out the problem. I am using UTC+3 in my General WP settings and that's why all the games has to be predicted at least 3 hours before the game.
Sorry for my English, I am applying three screens so you could understand what I mean in an easier way:
Before I made my predictions: http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/F5/78/fe144c29eaeff578.jpg
During the action:
And after clicking the "Save" button:
This was made at 1:15 the same day. The game that is going to be played after ~9hours is saved but the one that will be played after ~1h is not... And my tests say that this is because it's in the 3h timezone difference.
Hope to hear from you and sorry for being that detailed

If you're a fan of the hit Mad Men show then Estée Lauder's newest collection is really going to float your boat. I have to confess – I don't really watch the show. But regardless, I'm still loving this whole look. Read on to see the new collection.
Due at Estée Lauder counters this month, the Mad Men Collection is basically Cherry Lipstick ($25) and Creme Rouge in Evening Rose ($40). I am literally all about cream blush lately because it really gives that airbrushed look of perfection when applied with my Beauty Blender.
What do you think of the new collection?

Advantages and drawbacks in using social media for recruiting:
a) For applicants: Applicants relate easily to social media like Facebook and Twitter. If an applicant is already on Facebook, it is easy to log in to Ernst & Young's page and view employment and internship opportunities. The applicant can get a glimpse of work-life in the firm through the many videos on the page.
E&Y has also provided an interactive box on its Facebook page for applicants to post queries (to which the firm actually replies).
The drawbacks are that the firm may use the applicants account to conduct a background check without the permission of the applicant. The firm may also disqualify an applicant based on certain personal information which is outside the purview of selection.
b) For the firm: The firm has found a cost-effective method of advertising vacancies, offering internships and promoting its services. Through Facebook, it reaches a wider target group of users who are in the required age group for recruitment.
The drawback to this is that applicants and public interest groups could object to the firm accessing private and personal information about the applicant and using it to disqualify an application.

Author Comments:
Anderson is a Houston native who, like Tarantino and several others, has created a particular universe where all of his stories take place. Using a retinue of actors (including the Owen brothers), he's made some wonderfully funny and heart-felt films. His AmEx commercial almost deserves to be on the list.
I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.

From 1994. Throughout its history, Omaha's near north side has been the neighborhood that succeeding generations of immigrants have moved into and moved out of eventually, until protective real estate practices forced blacks to stay. The history of the community includes lynching,riots and discrimination. It also includes a vibrant community with jazz and shops and entrepreneurs. With the recent emphasis on multicultural education, this program tells an important, but little-known story of Nebraska history.

This question is from a decomposition of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/678471/what-are-good-programming-practices-to-prevent-malware-in-standalone-applications
The question has to do with malware dynamically getting into a program by infecting data files which the program reads/writes.
Is it safer to require data be stored in a database and only use service calls, no direct file operations when accessing data for a program? Let's say your program loads many images, numeric data tables, or text information as it runs. Assume this is after the program is loaded and initialized to where it can make service calls.
Is it easier to infect a file or a database?

Canadian diplomats lobby to 'kill' U.S. green policies
Oh, Canada, surely you can't be seri0us.
In honor of the late Canadian-American actor and comedian Leslie Nielsen, our neighbor up north replies, "I am serious … and don't call me Shirley."
To which I reply, well stop calling them oilsands. The phrase makes it seem like, oh, I don't know, maybe up through the sand came a bubblin crude, oil that is, black gold, Texas tea, Athabasca euphemism (see CP commenter, Jim Eager, here).
As an aside, it's hard to believe that the recently departed master of deadpan humor was for decades a leading dramatic actor, whose second movie was Forbidden Planet, the science fiction masterpiece derived from Shakespeare's The Tempest. But I digress.
Sadly nothing seems forbidden on this planet. The Calgary News story continues:
"We hope that we can find a solution to ensure that the oil keeps a-flowing," wrote Jason Tolland, from the Canadian Embassy in an exchange of e-mails with government trade lawyers on Feb. 8, 2008.
The correspondence, released to the Pembina Institute, an environmental research group, that obtained it through access-to-information legislation, comes as the international community gathers in Cancun, Mexico, for the annual United Nations summit on global warming.
The new documents also follow revelations by Postmedia News last week that the Harper government had crafted a multi-department communications strategy with industry stakeholders and the Alberta government to attack foreign environmental policies and promote the oilsands.
Clare Demerse, the associate director of climate change at the Pembina Institute, said the government should remember that it works for Canadians, not the oil companies.
"A responsible government would see clean energy policies outside our borders as an opportunity to do better, not as a threat," Demerse said.
"Reading through these documents, I'm struck that no one at Foreign Affairs ever acknowledges that cutting greenhouse gas pollution could be a good thing. Instead, the officials dismiss U.S. efforts to clean up the fuel they buy as 'protectionism.' "
The messages from diplomats were sent as the oilsands industry was lobbying against Section 526 of the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act, which could restrict U.S. government departments and agencies from buying fuel with a high environmental footprint.
"The U.S. government — read administration — is looking to us to provide support for their work to kill any interpretation of this section that would apply to Canadian oilsands," Tolland wrote. "That is the purpose of this."
The correspondence reveals that the Canadian diplomats had contacted officials from the American Petroleum Institute as well as from Exxon-Mobil Corp., BP, Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips, Encana Corp., and Marathon Oil Corp. "to point out the potential implication to their imports from Canada."
According to Article 41 of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations, visiting diplomats "have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State."
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! No, seriously, we do — on guard!
12 Responses to Canadian diplomats lobby to 'kill' U.S. green policies
As is typical for CanWest sources, not every "mirror" has the whole story, even on their online pages. Different editors cut different bits of the original story.
The "original" as near as I can tell is from the Ottawa Citizen, which has the following extra segments (just replace the paragraph on the Vienna Convention with the following, which includes the paragraph where it should be):
One e-mail sent by Paul Connors, who at the time was an energy counsellor at the embassy, encouraged an official with Exxon Mobil to get involved in the political debate against the legislation.
"I would encourage your firm to make its views known to DOE (U.S. Department of Energy) and the Hill (politicians)," wrote Connors to Susan E. Carter from Exxon Mobil on Jan. 22, 2008. "I would be most grateful for your company's views on the issue."
According to Article 41 of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations, visiting diplomats in a receiving state "have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State."
In a separate e-mail, Connors also rejected a recommendation from Helen Ryan, a senior Environment Canada official responsible for oil, gas and alternative energy, that the Canadian government needed to convey, in a letter from the ambassador, the importance of putting "more pressure" on the oilsands industry to invest in technology to clean up their pollution.
"If intended for the letter, (this point) is simply nutty," wrote Connors on Feb. 19, 2008.
When asked if the tactics used by the Canadian diplomats were accepted practices, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade defended the oilsands industry and said that meetings with decision-makers, those who influence them and stakeholders on Canadian priorities are a regular aspect of Canada's engagement abroad.
"Canada does not consider oil from oil sands to be an alternative fuel," wrote Laura Markle in an e-mail.
"Oil sands production is commercial and, like other oil, is processed in conventional facilities. The government will continue the promotion of a strategic resource that will contribute to energy security for Canada, North America and the world for decades to come."
Other CanWest sources leave out different pieces of the story. The Calgary Herald saw fit to remove all traces of Paul Connors, for instance. I can see them doing this for the print version where space is limited (my own paper listed this on page 12, sharing space with an otherwise full-page ad), but for the online version?
Scoundrels running the country up here…
Harper government ends funding to climate research organization
Ottawa to lease out science vessel for oil exploration
see this:
" after no debate, no consideration at all, all of a sudden in another move by (Prime Minister) Stephen Harper, the Senate voted yesterday to kill the climate change [bill] without debate," said Bruce Hyer, MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North.
Bill C-311, which was voted down 43-32 late Tuesday, would have called on the government to establish five-year plans to meet greenhouse gas emission targets by 2050, according to Liberal Senator Grant Mitchell, the author of the bill in the Senate.
The bill was passed in May by the(elected ) House and went to the (unelected) Senate for final approval.
There is debate about who actually initiated the Senate vote, with each side saying the other was responsible.
"Killing Bill C-311 shows a fundamental lack of respect for the many Canadians who care deeply about climate change. They had a right to have this bill debated properly," Mitchell said in a news release.
Mitchell later told reporters in Ottawa that it was an unprecedented move to defeat a bill that had been passed by Parliament."

Hola from Cancun COp 16 – here is my original story about the death of Canada's climate bil and how 85% of Canadians want action on climate but their government chooses to do otherwise.
CANADA: A Govt Versus Its People on Climate Change
FYI my articles (and by other jurnos) from Cancun for the IPS wire will be posted here http://www.ipsnews.net/climate_change/
""We hope that we can find a solution to ensure that the oil keeps a-flowing," wrote Jason Tolland, from the Canadian Embassy in an exchange of e-mails with government trade lawyers on Feb. 8, 2008."
I haven't been back in Canada for a while, but that sounds like Alberta, not Canada as a whole. A super right-wing province in a generally left wing country. They have some of the lowest taxest in the Country. Think Dubai, minus the sex appeal.

Canada Wins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Fossil Award
Canada wins first, second, and third place Fossil of the Day Award in Cancun today. The award is given daily to the country who has done the most to disrupt and undermine negotiations. http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2010/11/30/canada-wins-1st-2nd-and-3rd-place-fossil-award/
COP16: Canada certain to continue obstructionist role at Cancun climate conference http://www.straight.com/article-362010/vancouver/cop16-canada-certain-continue-obstructionist-role-cancun-climate-conference
It's people like Harper which threaten the survival of the species.
Canada is becoming a rogue state
Canada is losing the war. Not a war fought with bombs, guns and tanks in a specific location, but one fought around the world, in various cities, with words, images, and ideologies — a media war. We are becoming a rogue state that every nation and international organization feels it can attack. We are an environmental pariah. States with authoritarian governments and dictatorships, atrocious human rights records and even our historical European allies are castigating and condemning us for our environmental position.

I am facing an issue for the past couple of weeks. I am working on a windows server which is a dedicated server for MySQL having 32GB of RAM and using mysql 5.1.42 version.
I am having two databases 'abc' and 'abc_bak', my main aim is to maintain two days data in a table for 'abc' database and 30 days of data in 'abc_bak' database and from there the data has to be moved to another database and also make sure that all this process should be completed in less than 1hr but as of now its taking more than 5hrs. I am following the same procedure for other tables too and they are also having the same number of records and those are finishing their backup process in less than 15 mins.
I am regularly running a script that moves the records to a table from 'abc' database to 'abc_bak' database, most of the time I am seeing this backup getting delayed. I am using INSERT...SELECT for copying the records from abc to abc_bak and then delete the records in abc database. On using this my GUI is affected with its performance.
I am also pretty much sure that these tables are not optimized for a longtime. I have tried various methods in moving the records for some days it works and again I am facing the delay in backup. I am receiving more than 3million records a day.
The table I am referring to is pretty much indexed and using MyISAM Engine. I am left with a dilemma with the below 3 solutions, not sure how far will they help me 1)Mysql partitioning 2)Changing the Engine type to Innodb 3)Setting up Master-Slave replication
Currently I have changed this table to Innodb Engine type. Please help me in finding out a better solution for this problem and also please share your suggestions.
Thanks, Varun

There was a star in David's land,
In David's land appeared;
And in King Herod's chamber
So bright it did shine there.
The Wise Men soon espied it,
And told the King anigh
That a Princely Babe was born that night,
No King shall e'er destroy.
If this be the truth, King Herod said,
That thou hast told to me,
That the roasted cock that stands in the dish
Shall crow full senses three.
O the cock soon thrusted and feathered well,
By the work of God's own hand,
And he did crow full senses three
In the dish where he did stand.

I know the p'sak of the Aruch HaShulchan, that you must check the sheets after the 2nd/3rd time a newly-married couple are intimate. I heard that there is a more lenient opinion that you don't even have to check the sheets at all. Where is the source for such an opinion (I heard maybe it was something Rav Moshe Feinstein said) and what is the explanation with regards to such a leniency?

I'm not sure what the headline writer at the New York Times meant by saying that the issue of same-sex marriage "pushes justices into overdrive." I suspect "underdrive" may be more like it.
The court agreed last Friday to take two landmark gay-marriage cases. In one, lower courts overturned Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California. In the other, lower courts overturned the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which barred any federal recognition of states' same-sex marriages.
Bookmakers must be in clover with these two cases, because there are so many possible permutations to bet on. The court could go as far as to overturn DOMA and order national gay marriage as a constitutional right. It could go almost as far in the other direction, upholding DOMA
and foreclosing not only gay couples' constitutional claim to marriage but gay individuals' claim that homosexuality is entitled to constitutional protection from discrimination.
So, yes, the court could go into "overdrive." Attentive court-watchers, however, note two things:
It's possible to imagine a pair of five-four decisions giving gay-rights activists everything they want, with Justice Anthony Kennedy as swing vote and Justice Antonin Scalia writing the most scathing dissent of his frequently scathing career. Maybe, as conservatives have suggested, Kennedy is determined to write himself into the history books as the patron saint of gay rights.
But my guess—just a guess, of course, because who knows—is that Chief Justice John Roberts will nudge the court toward a broad consensus around narrow decisions, rather than vice versa. I can even imagine him getting unanimity for a ruling, in the Proposition 8 case, that tells everyone to come back with another case at some point in the future—when, not incidentally, the country will be closer to a consensus.
Getting the court's liberals to uphold DOMA, which has been roundly rejected by lower courts, is more of a stretch. Still, here's a possibility to bear in mind about the bang of the court's decision to take these two polarizing cases: it might well end with a depolarizing whimper.

"Odenton: Just A Whistle Stop" Odenton by MarylandRVer
Odenton Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 8 photos
Tiny Odenton, now lost in a sea of bedroom communities in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, began as an important railroad town. The local historic society has preserved this heritage in a small museum steps away from the light rail station off Route 175. This station still provides important transportation service to Washington DC for Odenton's behemoth neighbors, Fort George G. Meade and the National Security Agency (NSA). Together, these military organizations are the largest employer in the state.
Fort Meade is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year--training and supporting forces through two world wars and every major military action since. While access to the Fort is restricted, visitors can enjoy a glimpse of early spyware at the National Crytologic Museum adjacent to MD-295 and Route 32.
Odenton boasts two major supermarkets, small strip malls and business centers, a post office and a new major library branch that serves all of West Anne Arundel County. Numerous restaurants and fast food operations serve a very mobile community. The Fort is expecting a large influx of personnel over the next few years and the housing market here is gearing up for another grouth spurt as the two largest residential areas (Seven Oaks and Piney Orchards) are already in their final stages. A new town center is in the planning stages. Happily, Route 175 will receive major renovations to improve access to the fort.
The military influence has benefited patrons looking for good asian food. The Hunan Rose has fairly traditional 'Americanized' Chinese cuisine and nicer than average decor/ambiance. The food is well prepared and nicely presented. Prices are moderate and they also do a lot of take out business. The Bangkok Kitchen also gets a big thumbs up from the lunch crowd from Fort Meade and prices are very modest. The Okinawa restaurant has closed (sniff! sniff!).
Two seafood/American fare restaurants of note: Kaufman's on Gambrills Road and Jim's Hideaway (tucked away on the road behind the fire hall). You will pay market price for fresh seafood and crabs--no crab bargains this year! They also offer casual fare--lighter on the wallet but not necessarily on the waist.
If you'd prefer Mexican, we have a pretty good Mexican eatery that offers entrees well beyond Tex-Mex quality, outside seating, and good margaritas right on Route 170--try out the Pachanga Grill.
Lately, local restaruants are facing stiff competition from newer restaurants at Piney Orchards and the Village at Waugh Chapel, but people opting to steer clear of chains will like Odenton's food establishments.
Hey! It's a small town--of course we have a Dairy Queen! (And MacDonalds, Rita's, and Baskin Robbins). It's tradition!
- Pros:Located between Baltimore, DC and Annapolis--great access.
- Cons:Small town--not even a movie theater...
- In a nutshell:Just a Hop and a Skip From Where You Want to Be!

Historical Traveler Reviews Tahitian Inn Hotel Cafe & Spa Tampa
Suburban Retro Chic Always Calls You Honey
I have family in Tampa, so, over the years, I have often stayed at the Tahitian Inn. I loved its retro funkiness before it was redesigned and renovated, and I love it still in its new, proto-hip incarnation as a boutique hotel and spa. The new central building, with the soaring, safari-styled lobby, and hidden spa and massage rooms, is truly glamorous. The new cafe is fancier than the old coffee shop, but the breakfasts are still big, inexpensive, and the waitresses will still call you "honey." The pool is nicely landscaped, and the rooms are big and comfortable. The staff is always ready to provide service - we needed DVD player, and they quickly installed one in our room and showed us how to work it. If you want the cookie-cutter blandness of the big chains, be my guest, but if you want the personalized service that you can only get in a privately owned, newly renovated, suburban hip boutique hotel, I will see you at the Tahitian Inn.
Okay for business travelers who have their own transportation
I had to stay here for 3 days for a business trip. I picked the hotel from the internet because of its proximity to the airport, the price and it's spa services. The problem was that the hotel provides no shuttle service. For the price you pay, you expect it to be a full-service place as far as a shuttle is concerned. It had a nice pool, but no hot-tub. The Sauna rooms are separated by sex and located in the bathrooms in the Gym area. The sauna in the women's room was awesome. I tried to get some spa treatments while I was there, but they could not accommodate me - no evening hours. It looked very nice and the products are Yon Ka - very high quality products that I have used before from France. The staff at the front desk was not going out of their way to assist me or provide information. Finally, on the second night, the front desk lady took pity on me and assisted me with some questions. I had to request information from them about any services other than checking out. They don't assist you with bags and if you stay in the back of what used to be the motel - that is a hike. The bartender in the restauarant and the waitstaff provided outstanding service and accommodated me as I was late getting there from the train depot. The dinner food was pretty good and the drinks were also. They have room service - but it closes when the restaurant closed - so what is the point? The room was large and the bathroom was good. The gym had nicer bathroom sundries than the room. Plenty of towels in the room and the bed slept very well. The housekeeping staff is not always thorough as my blanket in the closet had some kind of "creamy-yuck" on it. The taxi costs $15 either to downtown or the airport, and the neighborhood is commercial and you need to take security precautions. Overall, I was disappointed from the ad's representation on the internet. And, I had emailed them 2 weeks ahead of time to request appointments for the spa and assistance with getting transportation provided - but they never replied.
Terrible breakfast
I have always picked great hotels when my husband and I travel. However this time I didn't do the research and ended up in a 2 star hotel. They give you free breakfast but it is not worth it. The cook is an older lady and anothert family member, they need lessons or they should let you cook your own meal. The room had a bathtub that was rusty and the drain was clogged up. The place needs to be brought up to date. The door was hard to open, each night we had to take turns trying to open it by the fourth night we finally figured it out. Parking is terrible it was rare for us to get a spot close to our room without having to walk around the entire hotel. The hotel had potholes in the parking lot.
The hotel had no internet so I had to go to IHOP and eat breakfast also to check my email.
Great Hotel, Perfect location
This was a wonderful hotel - our room was upgraded for no extra charge and we loved the extra space. Location was close to the airport and also downtown Tampa, near restaurants, shopping etc. Our only complaint is that while the pool was lovely, it was very cold so our children did not enjoy the swimming.
Loved the Tahitian
My wife and I stayed at the Tahitian Inn for three nights in March 2005. We upgraded to the queen executive room, which we must highly recommend. The rooms have marble floors, contemporary "island style" decor, a jacuzzi tub, a balcony, and lots of space. There is a microwave, sink, and refrigerator as well. The TVs come with a TV/VCR should you spend much time in your room while in Florida. In short, the room was very elegant.
The steam rooms in the fitness room area were a really nice touch, and the fitness center itself is quite amply furnished - moreso than many hotels twice the size (and price) of the Tahitian. There is a computer near the front desk with free high-speed internet access and a printer.
One of the greatest features is an onsite spa where you can get a massage, manicure, pedicure, etc. during your stay! The prices are particularly reasonable for this type of service...much lower than you'd expect for an on-site spa. The staff there are really wonderful! My wife and I both treated ourselves to this and loved every minute...a nice touch!
Another nice touch is the Tahitian Cafe on the premises. The staff is very friendly and the food is pretty good, although a bit pricier than necessary. However, they more than made up for the food cost with their all-day 2-for-1 well drink special! A nice hangout, although there are plenty of food options of all types within a very short driving distance.
Finally, the pool was nicely done as well. There is a small tiki hut with tables as well as two hammocks for those that like to nap outside. The pool is heated should you visit during a cooler month.
The price is more than reasonable for what you get at the Tahitian - a great value. We haven't stayed many places in Tampa, but it's really hard to imagine a better value in the metro area than this - if you upgrade to the Queen Executive Room.
Just so nobody accuses me of being blind to possible criticisms: Thanks to the start of Spring Break, ALL the soft drink vending machines were empty our entire stay (Coke's fault, not the Tahitian) so getting something besides tap water after the Cafe closed was difficult. Also, one corner of the building (where we stayed) is next to a row of dumpsters...which they evidently empty around 6AM! A very loud awakening! Finally, you should keep in mind that this is near downtown Tampa and about 30-45 minutes from Clearwater Beach, depending on traffic.
We couldn't recommend that you stay at the Tahitian on your next visit to Tampa...I know we will!
The Tahitian review
This is a beautiful newly renovated Motel, Yes Motel.... Although there is a newly built hotel attached to the front of the Motel (no more than 10 hotel rooms) for most people staying here this should be considered a motel. Now dont let the Motel designation scare you... as really the motel like set is quite convient as it allows for parking directly in front of your room if you are on the first floor (total of 2 floors). The "INN" also has beautifully renovated LARGE hotel-like motel rooms, the rooms are very nicely decorated and feel more like hotel rooms then motel rooms. Another wonderful feature of the Tahitian Inn is the beautiful pool area, makes you actually feel like you are in Tahiti rather then in between parking lots A and B. Again this is going to be the nicest motel that you have ever stayed at. The landscaping is very beautiful, and the hotel entrance is incredible, there is also a very nice boutique restauraunt and spa located inside the hotel. However, the "SPA" is really just an on-call massage room. The girls are on Call, not staffed at the INN (make an appointment). The staff was incredibly friendly, and overall are experience was enjoyable. However, the night that we stayed there seemed to be an excessive amount of noise and partying...although I would believe this to be an isolated incident. The actual location is directly in the middle of the main part of Tampa. Half way between downtown, ybor, and the airport. No more than a 5-10 minute drive in either direction. If you stay in the Motel part.. ask for a room on the first floor as It is much more convient for unloading and loading luggage. Overall I would rate this hotel a 10/10 for LOCATION, CLEANLINESS, ROOM SIZE, DECOR, AND DESIGN. However, the price was too high for what was essentially a very nice motel. I would stay here again if the PRICE WAS RIGHT.
Very Very Nice
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Tahitian Inn... Wonderful Room, clean and spacious, super breakfast at the cafe... highly recommended, can't wait to return... close to the airport... easy to find just off I-275 Dave & Jan From Vermont
Loved it!
My husband and I and a friend stayed here in March of 2002 and loved the place! The staff were wonderful, nice and polite. We asked for a room close to the pool and was not disturbed at all by any noise. It was an older style room but done nicely and was very clean and roomy. This was especially nice since we had had to leave another motel early as it was filthy and unsafe.
The pool was beautiful and clean and warm and we spent the whole day there as we had to head north the next day. What a great way to end our vacation! And we met some really nice people, also from Maine that evening, and enjoyed a late evening swm and visit with them! If we go back to Tampa, this is where we will stay again!
A tale of two hotels
Stayed at Tahitian for 5 nights in Jul 04 in one of the rooms with two double beds (had 2 kids). Property is really two hotels with an old section (50's stye rooms remodeled) and new section (upgrated rooms). Older rooms were pleasantly remodeled. Cost is very reasonable however mattresses in older rooms were some of the worst I have experienced in a hotel (and I never complain about a matress). Additionally, pool area was very pleasant and clean although extremely noisy late into the night (2 AM) on 2 of our nights and the hotel did not control noise or close pool. Restaurant was excellent and there is also an Einstein Bagel shop 100 yards away as well as several fast food options although I enjoyed their restaurant (Super service thorughout hotel) the best. A "Chickfilet" is next door. They even had real freshly squeezed orange juice in restaurant. Overall a great choice if you select the upgraded rooms which I took a peak at otherwise I would select another hotel which I did after 5 days. I did not use the SPA facilities or other house services although they were quite delux looking.
Wanted to move in!
Visited Tampa in Feb 2004; Accomodations in main hotel were amazing; nicer than any hotel I've ever stayed in before, including all the big chains! Well worth the extra $$$ over regular rooms for real bedroom furniture and linens, spa tub and tile throughout. (Only negative is that with all the tile, sound echoes in from other rooms)
