Jim McShane plays the shakuhachi.
His use of that instrument, a Japanese flute, is in some ways a natural progression from his day job, library director at .
Being surrounded by books all day long gives him the itch to not only read the pages, but immerse himself in the topics he finds interesting.
It's the natural consequence of being surrounded by inspiration.
"As a librarian you become interested in almost everything," McShane said. "There are so many different things coming across my desk, it becomes a challenge [of] how to make that connection more than just through a book."
An inquisitive musician, McShane has played the violin, clarinet, piano and guitar and now focuses his attention on the Japanese flute, or the shakuhachi.
A man of many languages, he speaks Japanese, Russian, German, French, Danish and Tibetan.
"I have an interest in words, so consequently I started with Latin and Greek," he said. "It's amazing how you can develop your vocabulary. The more you learn about language, [the more] you learn about culture."
Those interests in language and culture led him to spend three weeks in Japan in 2011. But McShane doesn't have to go that far all the time. He takes the opportunity to camp and hike when he can. And he takes photographs along the way.
"In search of the wild photograph," he explained of his hobby.
McShane grew up on Long Island and went to the State University of New York, Binghamton for his undergraduate career. He then attended Indiana University for his master's degree in library science.
He worked in libraries in Kansas, then moved back east to Massachusetts as a library director. He arrived in Suffield in 2004 to head up the library.
McShane has spent many years trying to make positive changes to the library. He saw several new library proposals fail due to controversy over the architectural value of the building and the cost to build a new one.
"It's been interesting," McShane said. "This library is the most 'studied' in the state... But it's been eight years now, so it's time to do something. I've been fantasizing about all the changes we could make, like taking out the alcoves, for a long time."
McShane pointed out it's a particularly relevant time to be revamping the library as it turns 40 years old in 2012.
Town funding and grant awards have paid for serious repairs to the leaky roof. Also, the floors and carpet are being replaced and new bookshelves and some furniture are in the plans as well. It's musical chairs for the layout, since many sections will shift to new locations in the building. The children's section will take over the back of the library near the large window facing the interesction of Main Street and Mountain Road. A coffee and reading lounge will displace the old checkout counters.
In the meantime, the library is operating out of the conference room behind Town Hall.
"With any luck, and it's going to take luck, we will be finished with the repairs and be back in March," McShane explained. "We are all looking forward to getting oue home back. The town has been great to work with."
McShane lives in Enfield. His significant other, Kathy, is a library director in Branford.

Thomson handed one-match ban
ESPN Staff
November 14, 2012
All Blacks flanker Adam Thomson's suspension means he will not be available for Saturday's clash with Italy © PA Photos
New Zealand flanker Adam Thomson has been handed a one-week suspension for his reckless use of the boot on Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch during their clash on Sunday.
The All Blacks' blindside was yellow carded in the second half of his side's comprehensive 51-22 victory at Murrayfield but subsequently cited for "stamping or trampling".
The judge ruled that the offence was on the lower end of the scale and as a result Thomson has been suspended until midnight on November 18. The suspension means he will not be available for the All Blacks latest tour outing against Italy in Rome on Saturday but he was not expected to feature in the game. He will be free to play in the All Blacks' subsequent matches against Wales and England.
The International Rugby Board's recommended sanctions for both stamping and trampling range from two weeks to one year with Thomson's ban reduced to one week on account of his conduct with comments from Strokosch also likely to have influenced the ruling.
"It certainly wasn't malicious. There was no damage done. He barely grazed (my head)," Strokosch said following the game. "I would say the yellow card's fine. I wouldn't take it any further. It wasn't a big deal."
However, Scotland coach Andy Robinson felt it was a red card offence. "You would think so," he said. "The touch judge had a very good view of it."
The ruling, that came on the same day that Australia's Rob Simmons was handed an eight-week ban for a tip tackle on France's Yannick Nyanga in their clash in Paris on Saturday night, was described by former England hooker Brian Moore as "ludicrously lenient" and he urged the IRB to investigate.
IRB chief executive Gosper responded to Moore and others who registered similar complaints over the verdict on Twitter. Gosper wrote: "The IRB will review this case as it is a match under our jurisdiction. If we decide to take action we will make it public."

Some abnormal heart rhythms can happen without the person knowing it, while some may cause the feeling of the heart "racing," lightheadedness, or dizziness. At some point in life, many adults have had short-lived heart rhythm changes that are not serious.
Certain heart rhythms, especially those that last long enough to affect the heart's function, can be serious or even deadly.
Fatigue (feeling tired)
Dizziness (spinning sensation)
Fainting or near fainting
Skipping a beat
Beating out of rhythm
Fast heart beat or racing heartbeat
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Fainting or near fainting
Sudden rapid, irregular and chaotic heartbeats may be a sign of a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (AFib). Rarely, passing out, or fainting, may be caused by the most dangerous arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF is the number one cause of sudden cardiac death. Within seconds, the person loses consciousness and, without immediate emergency treatment, will die within minutes.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or vertigo (spinning)
Blurred or narrowed (tunnel) vision
Nausea (feeling sick in the stomach) and/or vomiting
Stomachache/abdominal discomfort
Heart palpitations
Confusion and/or difficulty speaking clearly or coherently (not making any sense)

Search Films by Director
Jean Marc Abela
VANCOUVER PREMIERE - The school of Japanese asceticism called Shugendo is a blend of Shinto, Daoism and Buddhism. Followers practice arduous rituals in wildernesses and are deeply committed to protecting the natural environment. The film is a poetic and intimate journey into a rarely seen world between the developed and the wild, between the present and the infinite.
"Beautifully filmed, aesthetically pleasing, and religiously challenging." Paul Swanson
Woody Allen
During the Great Depression, a New Jersey housewife returns again to again to watch RKO's latest madcap Manhattan romance. So great is her devotion to the movie that one of the characters, Tom Baxter, can't refrain from commenting on it - stepping down from the screen and into real life. Complications ensue.
This curious hommage to German Expressionism is both a uniquely perverse enterprise and a real hoot. It's a Kafkaesque comedy based on Allen's earlier one-act play, unpromisingly titled "Death". Allen himself plays Kleinman, a clerk in an unnamed central European country who is reluctantly pulled into a vigilante hunt for a serial killer.
Allen waxes notalgic in this, one of his most autobiographical films, an affectionate tribute to the radio stars of the 1940s, and to the working class listeners - like Woody's own family - who marveled at their exploits, both real and imaginary.
"Radio Days is so ambitious and so audacious that it almost defies description." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Three sisters: Woody Allen explores the bonds and infidelities running through a middle class New York family in this, one of his most expansive and warmest films, a tender comedy that garnered Academy Awards for Michael Caine, Dianne Wiest and for Allen's screenplay.
"An articulate, literate film, full of humanity and perception." Time Out
"One of Woody's best ever." David Parkinson, Empire
Edward Norton and Drew Barrymore stroll hand in hand around a fountain, then burst into a deliciously sloppy rendition of 'Just You, Just Me', and immediately we're right into it, and you can't imagine why it's taken Woody Allen so long to get round to reviving the musical. Romantic, nostalgic and decadent as Fred Astaire, this is also the closest Allen has come to a Jacques Demy movie.
"A delightful and witty compendium of the film maker's favorite things." Janet Maslin, New York Times
"It would take a heart of stone to resist this movie." Roger Ebert
Expertly weaving between comedy and tragedy ("if it bends, it's funny; if it breaks, it isn't," as Alan Alda's egomaniac sitcom writer is fond of saying), this is one of Allen's finest movies, a dark, somber but also very witty tale of infidelity and murder that grapples with the philosophical implications of our own, seemingly in-built ethical limitations and stands as a cynical corrective to the warmth of Hannah and Her Sisters.
"His best and most courageous work to date." Stanley Kauffman, New Republic (1989)
Phie Ambo
Can you rewire the brain, just by taking a breath? In 1992 Professor Richard Davidson, one of the world's leading neuroscientists, met the Dalai Lama, who encouraged him to apply the same rigorous methods he used to study depression and anxiety to the study of compassion and kindness, those qualities cultivated by Tibetan meditation practice. The results of Davidson's studies are portrayed in Free the Mind as they are applied to treating PTSD in returning Iraqi vets and children with ADHD. The film poses two fundamental questions: What really is consciousness, and how does it manifest in the brain and body? And is it possible to physically change the brain solely through mental practices?
"Grips your heart from the first moment." Film Comment
"By the end of this documentary, you'll feel like a kid again, filled with wonder and questions about humanity and yourself." Marco Chown Oved, Toronto Star
"There is something healing about simply watching Free the Mind." Gary Goldstein, LA Times
Michael Apted
n the 19th Bond adventure, 007 (Pierce Brosnan) must resolve a potentially deadly power struggle between two unstable nations, with control of the world's oil supply as the ultimate prize.
Laura Archibald
Featuring poignant interviews with a who's who of 60s folk luminaries, and searing footage of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, among many others, Laura Archibald's doc illuminates one of those rare creative nexus points that defined an era. Between 1961 and 1973, musicians from all over North America (and further afield) converged on Greenwich Village to sing about the radical social upheaval of the time. As these new singer-songwriters emerged, the Village blossomed as a place that promoted a better future and challenged the status quo.
"Evokes the flavor of the era just before the music business exploded into a mass-market juggernaut. The film's pleasures are the same ones offered by a sprawling, lavishly illustrated magazine spread." Stephen Holden, New York Times
"Makes you wish you'd been there too, hearing it all for the first time." Jay Stone, Canada.com
"Irresistible…I t's always irritating to hear New Yorkers refer to themselves as the centre of the universe. Except in this case they might be right." Susan Cole, Now magazine
Dario Argento
Dario Argento's follow up to 1977's Suspiria is one of the most dazzling horror movies ever made. A poet in New York, Rose (Irene Miracle) becomes convinced that she is sharing living space with one of the mythical Three Mothers, the Mother of Darkness. Indeed, the further she explores the building, the darker things become. Logic itself seems to bend as the rational world gives way to supernatural fears, forebodings, and sudden, violent death.
"Inferno is a masterpiece of absolute film, perhaps the most underrated horror movie of the 1980s." Kim Newman, Nightmare Movies
Stephane Aubier
When Celestine - a mouse - persuades Ernest (a bear) not to eat her it's the beginning of a beautiful friendship. He's a busker by trade. She's also something of a bohemian, and soon they're inseparable. - much to the consternation of family, rodents and other animals.
"A delightfully old-fashioned kid's flick with a meaningful message… The screenplay by bestselling French novelist Daniel Pennac keeps things on a believable plain (for a fairy tale), and it's easy enough to invest in the plights of the duo… Ernest et Célestine gradually becomes a cautionary fable where friendship tries to stand the test of bigotry and intolerance…" Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
"A delightful melding of visual style and narrative pirouettes, Ernest And Célestine is a just-about-perfect hand drawn animated feature. The unlikely but eventually rock solid alliance between gruff bear Ernest and artistically inclined orphan mouse Célestine is loaded with charm and adventure." Lisa Nesselson, Screen Daily

Benjamin Avila
The 12-year-old son of political dissidents fighting the brutal military junta in 1970s Argentina, Juan goes to school under an assumed name and gets his first crush on a girl. But when his parents suddenly need to pack up and run his life is changed forever.
"Most coming-of-age movies don't open with the prepubescent protagonist's mom and dad getting into a cartoon gunfight in the street—then again, there are lots of unusual touches in Argentine filmmaker Benjamin Ávila's feature. Blessed with old-school pedigree (producer Luis Puenzo made the Oscar-winner The Official Story) This '70s-set story of a boy (Teo Gutiérrez Romero) and his exiled revolutionary parents returning home on the sly follows a well-trod path of viewing history through a child's eyes. But the way the director throws in offbeat elements—animation, a Moonrise Kingdom–ish interlude in the woods, surreal dream sequences—without diluting the Dirty War drama is impressive." David Fear, Time Out New York
"A charming, involving first feature, Clandestine Childhood muscles its familiar coming-of-age material into something more vibrant and urgent than the usual. Through sharp editing and director Benjamín Ávila's moment-making brio, this '70s period piece charts a young boy's attempts to carve out something like a childhood despite being the son of wanted revolutionaries in the Argentina of General Jorge Rafael Videla, whose brutal government "disappeared" millions just like them." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn
Forget the Troubles and get your "Teenage Kicks" instead! Set in 70s Belfast, this is an appropriately unconventional biopic dedicated to the gregarious godfather of Northern Irish punk, record shop entrepreneur Tom Hooley - the man who launched The Undertones (then gave them away for an autograph).
"An impasssioned, funny and monumentally likeable myth-making comedy." Time Out
Noah Baumbach
Greta Gerwig is delightful - a kind of modern day Annie Hall - in this lovely, deft, funny/sad movie from Noah Baumbach. Frances Halladay is 27, living in New York, and not really pulling things together yet. She's in the wrong job, and her most intimate friend is her flatmate, who's moving out. Simultaneously optimistic and melancholy, romantic and unsentimental, it's the finest comedy of the year.
"An irresistibly lovely, melancholic acknowledgment that love is impossible, and that the more candid a young woman is, the less eligible she becomes in the standard romantic sweepstakes… Frances Ha also marks the rare instance in which an actress has the perfect role at the perfect time. Ms. Gerwig's work here is fragile, delicate, subject to bruising; something that could wither under too much attention. Perhaps Ms. Gerwig is the greatest actress alive. And maybe Frances Ha is just the ghost orchid of independent cinema." John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
"There's an optimism and an empathy in "Frances Ha" that feels genuine and earned.The plot doesn't build to a gigantic, sweeping climax, but the understated final moments made me happier than any other filmgoing experience I've had all year." Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
Mario Bava
Barbara Steele became an icon for horror fans with her double role in this Mario Bava's unforgettable debut feature. She plays both the innocent Katia, and the witch-vampiress Asa Vajda, who returns to life in 1830, 200 years after she was tortured and executed.
Shot in black and white by the former cinematographer, this gothic classic has an extraordinary creepy atmosphere and shots that imprint themselves on the back of your skull, almost with the force of that mask of death which gave the film its original Italian title.
"One of the movies that remain with me probably stronger than anything is Black Sunday… there's a lot of old films – [Bava's] in particular – where the vibe and the feeling is what it's about… [t]he feeling's a mixture of eroticism, of sex, of horror and starkness of image, and to me that is more real than what most people would consider realism in films…" Tim Burton
Neal Berkeley
Beauty Is Embarrassing is a funny, irreverent, joyful and inspiring documentary featuring the life and current times of one of America's most important artists, Wayne White. "One of the most pleasurable moviegoing experiences I've had this year." Leonard Maltin
"One of the most pleasurable moviegoing experiences I've had this year." Leonard Maltin
"White is such a hysterically funny, wacky and weird guy that the documentarian need only train his camera upon him in order to make it entertaining. It is a genuinely hilarious film, but it's funny because of the pathos too, the sadness in White that makes him want to live everyday to its fullest, to make a silly puppet because it's fun, and why not today?" Katie Walsh, The Playlist
"This movie ought to be required viewing, not just for Oscar voters but for every aspiring artist wondering how to build a life doing what they love. Beauty is Embarrassing isn't simply a testament to the talents of Wayne White; it's a snapshot of the ways in which creativity and the business of daily living can be inseparably fused." Elina Shatkin, LA Magazine
Luc Besson
Paris, 1911: When a pterodactyl hatches in a museum and begins terrorising the town, clueless detective Caponi (Lellouche) seeks the connection between the prehistoric menace, a mad old professor (Nercessian) conducting resurrection experiments and intrepid reporter Adèle Blanc-Sec (Bourgoin), whose pursuit of ancient artefacts is a desperate personal mission…
A whimsical, madcap action adventure romp in the spirit of Indiana Jones from the director of The Fifth Element, Nikita and Leon: The Professional.
"This is utterly delightful from start to finish, thanks to a witty script, gorgeous production design, enjoyably pacey direction and a wonderful performance from Louise Bourgoin. Highly recommended and one of the best films of the year. Don't leave before the end credits." Matthew Turner, This Is London
Angad Singh Bhalla
Herman Wallace has spent 40 years imprisoned in solitary confinement in a six-foot-by-nine-foot cell for a crime many believe he never committed. The injustice of solitary confinement and the transformative power of art are explored in Herman's House, a feature documentary from first-time director Angad Singh Bhalla, that follows the unlikely friendship between Jackie Sumell a New York artist, and Herman Wallace, one of America's most famous inmates, as they collaborate on an acclaimed art project.
"Conceptually inventive, poetic and original, Herman's House achieves a great feat in constructing a compelling narrative about a man we never meet and goals that aren't quite reached… In the end, none can contain this unique and moving story, and we are left with our own imaginations, completely activated by this magnificent film." Ezra Winton, Art Threat
"As powerful as it is heartrending." Serena Whitney, Exclaim
Eric Black
The location of the world's largest—possibly toxic—gold-mine pit, Guatemala is also the homeland of the Maya and their decidedly holistic cosmology. Frauke Sandig and Eric Black's kaleidoscopically beautiful documentary follows the daily and ceremonial lives of six articulate young Maya as they struggle to maintain their way of life in the face of C21 capitalism.
"Of course one cannot simply reverse European history and the creation of the "Self", which is also tied to liberation from the forces of nature. But one can empathize with a philosophy that does not separate the individual from nature. This different relationship to nature is better described with pictures than with words. Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth does exactly this, with clouds that glow from within, rivers with power one can sense, or mountains, which exude an inner peace. The camerawork creates settings that inspire fascination in a hitherto unknown world."
Peter Gutting, kino-zeit
"It is an exquisitely, achingly beautiful film – wonderfully conceived and sensitively filmed. I particularly appreciated the references to ancestral dreams and memories, sequences that ring truer than any film I've ever seen on Maya spirituality… The sequences on the war were particularly poignant. One of the communities I lived in for 6 months was completely wiped out—I still don't know if anyone survived. It is my sincerest hope that some lived to tell their stories like the wonderful people in this film. What strikes me is the resilience of the Maya in the face of powerful and concerted efforts to destroy or alter it. I was profoundly affected by this film and will carry many of its images with me to the end of my days."
Allen J. Christenson, Author of Popul Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Maya

Journalists are reviled by many for alleged negativism and over-focus on bad news in Iraq. Or perhaps the problem is: Their employers are just trying to do it on the cheap. Ironically, the same media that criticizes the U.S. for sending too few troops to stabilize Iraq send too few reporters to cover much more than the dramatic bombings around Baghdad.
If truth is journalism's goal, cheapness within journalism undermines it. Embedded reporter Paul McLeary wrote in Columbia Journalism Review not long ago, "In Iraq, the untold stories pile up, one by one by one," because "there just aren't enough of them [journalists] to give the conflict its due."
Perceived danger is important in the reluctance of reporters to get out and about. Most reporters in Iraq stay close to Baghdad, and that's where the bloody news and contentious politics are, often staged for their coverage. Articles about boring days patrolling peacefully in other 15 provinces, or of Iraqis rebuilding, are not considered as newsworthy.
Some 692 journalists embedded during the invasion of Iraq. Interviews by the Institute for Defense Analysis reported, "The participants' overall assessment …was that it was successful and that it benefited the military, the media, the public, and the military families." Yet, the program has withered to several dozen embeds today.
Why? Galloway says there's "growing resistance from the military to [those] embeds" it considers negative. Meanwhile, the $30,000 or more per month (above wages) cost of supporting reporters in Iraq is more than most media organizations want to spend, even though this is a major war and more important than many other beats.
Perceived danger is important in the reluctance of reporters to get out and about. Most reporters in Iraq stay close to Baghdad, and that's where the bloody news and contentious politics are, often staged for their coverage. Articles about boring days patrolling peacefully in other 15 provinces, or of Iraqis rebuilding, are not considered as newsworthy."Boring" and not "newsworthy" are excuses. "Dangerous" is why they're not covered. I wonder what Ernie Pyle would say to that if he were alive today?
Journalists killed on Duty: 68By Location:• Anbar province (Fallujah, Ramadi): 4• Nineveh province (Mosul): 11• Baghdad province: 34• Saleheddin province (Samara): 4• Basrah province: 3• Diyala province (Baqubah): 2• Arbil province: 6• Karbala province: 1• Najaf province: 1• Sulaymaniya province: 1• Unclear: 1
Say what you may of the mistakes made both militarily and politically in Iraq, but when all is said and done, it is my opinion the MSM's coverage of the war will be found wanting as well. It has been much less than their finest hour.
Two American journalists have been killed from 2003 to 2006.
Tell us, McQ. What was their finest hour?
Hey, statistics with no context! Gotta love it.
Perceived dangers!? Patrolling peacefully in the other fifteen provinces!?Hardly,
So if the total number of journalists ever in Iraq since 2003 had been 68 and they're all dead, you could easily understand why not many reporters would go there.
The link, however, did not give any information about the total number of journalists who had been in Iraq since 2003. You'd need that to see exactly how dangerous it is there, don't you think?
Well, that and the fact that we're talking about US journalists.
Minor point, I guess.
Tell us, McQ. What was their finest hour?Ask Ernie Pyle. Oh, you can't. He died covering it.
Tell us, McQ. What was their finest hour?
McQ. Perhaps you can tell me what difference it makes what nationality a journalist is when discussing "perceived dangers" and "15 peaceful provinces".
I can imagine Daniel Pearl and Michael Kelly asking Pyle that very question as they kick it old school somewhere in the afterlife.
Quite a bit actually ... since we're talking about US journalists.
Here lies Joe Reporter.Survived by wife JaneAnd children Timmy and JulieDied bravely to bring you the story of a new school in Mosul
QandO search: Bob WoodruffSearch results: 0
CPJ considers a journalist to be killed on duty if the person died as a result of a hostile action—such as reprisal for his or her work, or crossfire while carrying out a dangerous assignment.
Huh!? So if, for the sake of argument, there are, or have been, ten thousand reporters in Iraq, and only 68 are dead, making it a minute 0.68% of the total…, tell me again how that make Iraq less dangerous?
D'ya get my point, old man?
....how about so the American people can be informed and know what is going on?
Go on shark, what's stopping you? Steverino, you too buddy. Your country needs you. Take off that chef's apron and grab a pencil, 'cause it's off to Basra with you. What's that you say? Oh… "family and children" I see. Never mind, we'll send others in your stead
Hiding in hotels and avoiding your job is not defensible by "but it's dangerous!" of course it's dangerous, that's part of the point. The reporters go there (and are well-paid) in the dangerous areas to get the news because that's where it's happening.
You guys are a bunch of whiney babies. I can imagine a collective Right-Wing as a four year old, stomping your feet on the ground, "Nobody likes us".
Wow. I love it when you go over the top.
So ... you're satisfied with the MSM coverage out of Iraq.
If not. Then opportunity awaits. Go and kick up some sand in Iraq. There's a lot of money waiting for you out there…Or a lot of Kalashnikov's. But you're brave, right?

IntroductionThanksgiving is by definition a North American holiday. Canadians do Thanksgiving in October, Americans in November. In China? Well, don't expect to see a lot of turkeys in the wet markets ready to buy fresh and have plucked in front of you (not necessarily a bad thing)!
But you're in China over Thanksgiving and you want to celebrate. So how do you do it?If you're Canadian, you DIY without any help aside from perhaps your embassy/consulate and the foreign grocery stores. Sadly, America rules when it comes to Thanksgiving so our North American neighbors get ignored in China when it comes to this holiday.
Good news for Americans though. If you really need to get your turkey fix, most large international hotels put on a Thanksgiving feast, buffet style. These establishments also cook up turkeys and ham to order so if you want to celebrate at home, order a turkey in advance you can pick it up on the day to bring home and carve up for the family. (Make sure you tell them you want it cooked though. Friends suffered a frozen bird delivered at 5pm for their feast last year!)
If you are a glutton for punishment and want to do it all yourself, you can indeed. Just head to your local international grocery store (Jenny Lu's in Beijing, Cityshop in Shanghai) and stock up on all the fixings: frozen Butterball turkeys, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie makings. But you better do it fast, there tends to be a run on these items so if you're shopping on the last Thursday in November, you'll be out of luck.
If you find yourself outside of the larger cities on Thanksgiving, why not tuck into a Beijing-style roast duck? Or if that can't be found, go to a good noodle shop and stuff yourself silly. But do it with friends - it's all about being together and eating a lot, remember!

An on-duty officer shot a driver in Hialeah after stopping his red Audi Friday evening, police said.
The driver was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital, Hialeah police spokesman Carl Zogby said.
The uniformed officer, who was on duty in a police cruiser, made the traffic stop at West 4th Avenue and West 21st Street. He shot the Audi driver once somewhere near the car at about 6:30 p.m., Zogby said.

The area of the shooting was locked down for hours Friday night as police marked evidence and snapped photos. The State Attorney's Office had a representative at the scene.
The officer, who was not injured, will be questioned by detectives, Zogby said.

• Golf Glossary
Golf Club - EquipmentThe most common usage of "golf club" is this one. The golf club as equipment is one of the necessary tools used to play the game - the implement used to strike the ball. No golf club, no golf.
A golf club can come in many different forms, and in several different categories: Woods, irons, hybrids, wedges and putters. Woods include the driver and the fairway woods. Irons are usually sold as a set including the 3-iron, 4-iron, 5-iron, 6-iron, 7-iron, 8-iron, 9-iron and pitching wedge. Hybrids are, well, a hybrid of a wood and an iron, carrying some of the characteristics and funtions of each.
Wedges are also irons, but are often grouped separately, and can include a gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge. And the putters are used on putting greens as the last step of playing a golf hole - knocking the ball into the cup.
All of these are golf clubs; any individual one is a golf club.
Beginners who want to know more about the basic form and function of individual golf clubs should take a look at our Meet the Golf Clubs section. More advanced golfers might enjoy our Golf Club FAQ section.
To read about specific makes and models of golf clubs, including reviews, see the equipment news and reviews section.
If you have specific golf club questions to ask, visit our Golf Forum and post your question in the "Equipment - General Discussion" folder.
Golf Club - CourseIf a golf course has the words "golf club" in its title - for example, "Augusta National Golf Club" - that is usually (but not always) an indication that the course in question is a higher-fee, more upscale golf course; and it is sometimes an indication that the course in question is a private, members-only golf course.
For public courses, using the words "golf club" in the course name, rather than "golf course," is a way to imply a certain level of service, of course conditioning, of fees.
On the other hand, sometimes the words "golf club" in a title are nothing but a marketing ploy.
At any rate, in this usage "golf club" refers to a golf course.
The About.com Golf Travel guide has much more about individual upscale resorts and daily fee courses (reviews, rankings, etc.) - the type of courses more likely to be called a "golf club."
Golf Club - AssociationThe third meaning of "golf club" is, well, a club of golfers - a group, an association, an organization. If you join the Podunk Municipal Golf Course Men's Golf Association, then you are a member of a golf club.
Joining this type of golf club is a necessary step for anyone desiring an official golf handicap index (it is also possible to join a "virtual golf club," or a golf club without real estate, in order to establish a handicap).
The most famous golf clubs of this type are the two governing bodies of the sport, the USGA and the R&A.

Parents "blown away" by support for their son (From This Is Local London)

Parents raise thousands at a fundraiser in Enfield for their son who has cerebral palsy
Updated 9:53am Tuesday 15th October 2013 in News By Charlie Peat
Parents were "blown away" by support for their child, who has a rare brain disorder.
Jade Penny, 23, and Mark Riley, 24 hosted a fundraising event to raise money for physiotherapy treatment for their son Lukas.
The three-year-old has cerebral palsy, a brain disorder that can cause problems with movement, learning and speech.
Mum Jade admitted she was surprised at the sheer number of people who turned up but was extremely grateful.
She said: "I was not expecting to see so many people that I didn't know. It was a really great night and we were blown away by the support that was shown. We even ran out of raffle tickets because we only bought 300.
"This will go a long way towards helping Lukas with his physiotherapy treatment. I want to thank everyone who came along - we managed to raise £5,000 in five hours, which was extraordinary."
More than 400 people attended the fundraiser at Enfield Working Men's Club in Ordnance Road, Enfield Wash, on Saturday, October 12.
The money will be used for specialist physiotherapy at The Bobath Centre in East End Road, Finchley which offers tailored therapy for children with cerebral palsy.

JACKSONVILLE — Courtesy of Crisis Center of Anderson & Cherokee Counties
The route is set. The walkers are ready. Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes 2013 will hit the streets of Jacksonville April 20 at 10 a.m., beginning at Sadler's Restaurant at the corner of Wilson and Bonner.
The men's walk, devised to bring awareness to the need to end violence against women, will make a winding route through the downtown area and end where it began, and all the men will walk the route in heels.
The walk is part of Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes International which links men's walks around the globe together for the effort to stop family violence and sexual assault. The Jacksonville walk benefits victim services of the Crisis Center of Anderson & Cherokee Counties.
"There are more than 20 men who have stepped up to walk to show our support for the women in our community," said Donald Hammock, the Crisis Center's Executive Director. "Each of them has raised money that will help the survivors of family violence and sexual assault in our community. These victims may be our friends, neighbors, family members, golf partners, classmates or teachers. These crimes impact every area of our community."
Hammock hopes the community will come out and sheer the guys on along the walk route.
"It is not comfortable, truthfully," laughed Hammock, who will strap on the heels for his fourth walk. "But we are all sincere about our desire to show, if even in a silly way, that we don't take the women in our community lightly. We want them to understand that there are men that are on their side and will support them if they ever are victimized."
"But it goes further than that, even," stated Hammock. "This walk is about men standing up and telling men who abuse women that it is not going to be tolerated in our County."
Last year, two walks in Cherokee and Anderson counties raised over $25,000 for the Crisis Center. Hammock feels confident that will be met and exceeded this year. "These walkers and this community support us in a huge way," he said.
Walk-A-Mile-in-Her-Shoes 2013 is sponsored by Trimble & Company, ETMC-Jacksonville, Damsel in Defense, Austin Bank, Jeremy Harmel State Farm Insurance, Stackin Bills, Heart-to-Heart Hospice, WalMart in Jacksonville #180, Family First, Vance Royon Farmers Insurance, Snaps Photography, Keep It Rockin', Bobby's Tire, Cherokee County Electric Co-Op and Southside Bank.
The route begins at Sadler's and proceeds northeast on Wilson Street, turns left onto South Bolton; right onto East Woodrow; left onto Main; right onto Cherokee; right onto Ragsdale; Left onto East Wilson; right onto Neches; right onto Commerce and continues to Bonner.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — The climate is ripe with excuses.
Extreme winter weather has made a mockery of area sports schedules, stranding teams without a game for more than a week then hurtling them through a gauntlet of six games in eight days.
It's tough for a team to find traction. Consistency is supposed to be an unachievable dream.
Just don't try telling that to the Anderson girls basketball team.
This week the Lady Tribe (16-3) received its first recognition of the season from the Indiana Girls Basketball Coaches Association, checking in at No. 20 in the single-class all-state poll.
On Thursday, weather permitting, Anderson will put its 11-game winning streak on the line against the 19th-ranked team in that poll — Pike (14-8).
The Red Devils are the only team this season to knock off top-ranked Lawrence North, scoring a 53-50 victory in the teams' second meeting of the season on Jan. 11.
That's not exactly an ideal opponent for Senior Night, but for the Lady Tribe it's just another exciting challenge to tackle.
"We're going to play a team that plays with the best and beat the very best," Anderson coach Chad Cook said. "That's how you get better."
Cook has a simple design for the season, breaking it down as a series of 27 opportunities for his players to improve. That philosophy proved useful after a Dec. 21 loss at Logansport.
The game was hyped as a North Central Conference championship showdown, and a lot of emotion was poured into the effort. But because Cook refuses to allow the Lady Tribe to look at one game as a make or break proposition, the sting of the loss did not linger.
"All year, we've talked about mental toughness," Cook said. "No matter who we're playing, we're trying to be mentally tough for all four quarters. We keep them all the same."
Anderson's winning streak began 13 days after the loss to the Berries with a 56-50 victory at Noblesville.
The weather began its reign of terror soon after, and by the time the Lady Tribe opened the Madison County tournament on Jan. 10 it had played just one game in the previous three weeks. In the next eight days, Anderson won six games. By an average of 27 points.
"You give a lot of credit to the girls," Cook said, "because they're the ones that have to physically do it."
But it's easy for the fifth-year head coach to zero in on the secret to his team's success: Defense.
The Lady Tribe surrenders just 48.8 points per game and has allowed more than that average just three times during the current winning streak. Most impressively, Anderson's defense is adaptable.
If the Lady Tribe senses it can harass an opponent's backcourt, it will dive into a full-court press and create an up-tempo game fueled by turnovers. If the opponent has ballhandlers who aren't easily rattled, Anderson will sink back into the half court and deny offensive opportunities just the same.
"As Peyton Manning can tell you, offense wins a lot of games," Cook said. "It can win more games than anybody. But defense wins championships. And we're playing really good defense."
The Lady Tribe has adapted its offensive game in similar fashion, comfortable both in a free-flowing full-court track meet and a lockdown half-court slugfest. Add in the team's depth — with nine regulars in the rotation — and it's easy to see how Anderson presents such an interesting matchup dilemma every night.
But all that success does come with a price.
When Cook noticed his players reacting sluggishly to a recent Saturday practice, following games on Thursday and Friday night, he was quick to remind them of the six wins in eight days and told them he knew they had more to give him than they were showing.
In typical fashion, the players responded and ended the session on a high note.
"This is a really special group of girls here this year," Cook said.
Anderson soon will bid farewell to seniors Da'Sha Boyd, Chelsea Bentley, Samia Carter, Kez'Anique Gosha and Donjanae Chamberlain. They've helped build the program back to championship heights, and they will be severely missed.
But Cook plans to extend their careers as long as possible.
The Lady Tribe will be a prohibitive favorite in next week's Class 4A sectional at Connersville, opening with a rematch against NCC rival Richmond on Wednesday. Anderson is sure to get every team's best shot, and all the momentum its built for the past six weeks won't mean anything once the ball is thrown into the air for the opening tip-off.
That's when the mental toughness Cook has preached about all season needs to take over. The same kind of fortitude the Lady Tribe has shown in laughing off the weather and every other distraction over the past six weeks.
"They do what's expected of them," Cook said, again keeping things simple. "As long as they continue to do that, hopefully everything will work out for us."

For years, deer hunters have known that deer can smell you a mile away and placing your set-ups to "play the wind" is the vital to deer hunting success.
When I was coming up, however, that was the extent of it and you were on your own to make it work.
Things have changed during the past 25 years. These days we not only have specialized, scent-eliminating detergents for our hunting clothes but also scent-free soaps and shampoos for our bodies. There are hunting clothes that actually absorb odor and sprays to use as we enter the field that can mask odor or eradicate it.
It has even gone so far that we are able to make use of ozone to kill just about any type of smell that you can imagine both at home and in the tree.
With all of this technology, and the products that are out there today, let's take a look at how best to put them to use to increase our odds.
The laundry room
I'll admit to having been a major skeptic in regards to all of the scent robbing products back when they first hit the market. It all seemed like nothing more than a gimmick to sell a bunch of things to outdoorsmen. Taking proper care of the clothes that you hunt in is the one place that it all made sense to me and this was the first aspect of scent elimination that I embraced.
The laundry room is where it all starts. Whether it's your favorite camo or jeans, the moment you put them on, they begin to collect odors.
By using one of the many unscented, hunter-specific detergents that feature enzymes to eat up the stink, you're guaranteed to get rid of the problem and truly start fresh each time you pull on your clothes to head to the woods.
A major plus to using these detergents is that they don't include the UV brighteners and perfumes found in most common grocery store brand.
Once your camo is clean, you'll likely be tossing it in the dryer. Be sure to pick up some unscented dryer sheets for this purpose.
If you do nothing else, properly laundering your hunting clothes is important. Keep in mind that your clothes will need to go straight from the dryer into a some sort of container or bag that will keep them away from and smells.
For this, I use a large plastic tote with a lid that allows me to transport my garb in it as well and I never carry anything inside but the things I'll wear in the field.
In the shower
Correctly preparing your body is a huge issue. Most all of the same makers of the scent eliminating detergents also offer body soaps and shampoos that will help you get the stink off of yourself. This is one area where it pays to take a hard look at what you're buying.
Some of these body soaps are nothing more than regular soap without any added scent that carry a big price tag while others include enzymes, silver and various other odor eaters that will go much further in your pursuit to be scentless. The ones that include all of the "good stuff" are definitely worth the money.
The old adage of "spitting into the wind" definitely comes into play if you're only using these products to shower before a hunt.
The residues of normal branded shampoos and soaps simply can't be washed off in one trip through the shower.
Since I'm heading out on my annual trip to Kansas this week, I've been using my hunting body soap and shampoo for days in advance and, even if you're not going anywhere but the backyard, it pays to use nothing but these products during the season if you're hunting a lot.
Spray it down
Remember when I mentioned being a skeptic in the early days of scent elimination? Back then I used to get the biggest laugh out of folks who incorporated spraying themselves down with a bottle full of black carbon liquid that was supposed to absorb scent.
I knew that carbon would help to reduce odors, but there was no way I was going to be squirting myself with that nasty looking stuff. Fast forward to today and the game, as it relates to killing odors with spray, has seriously changed.
Hunter's Specialties' "Scent-A-Way" was the first to hit the market that actually accomplished what it said it would do and it's still a good one today.
Others have joined them on the shelves that include other things like silver that attack smells on the molecular level and I can assure you that they work.
Several years ago, Primos ran a commercial where they used their spray that incorporates silver and sprayed down a cotton ball soaked with doe estrus urine to prove the product's effectiveness.
Knowing just how badly that stuff smells I thought that surely it couldn't work that well. Well, of course, I had to try it myself.
What I found was that the Primos spray immediately removed all of the smell of the deer urine. I let it sit for several days and checked back occasionally only to find that it was still working well with only the slightest aroma after three days.
That little test was enough to convince me that they had a great product and I've been a firm believer ever since. After all, if it can eradicate the stench of that stuff it would have no problem getting rid of any normal smells that I might pick up on me, my clothes, my boots or anything else that I carry into the woods.
Next week, we'll take a hard look at the rest of the equation in regards to scent elimination and take the process all the way to the treestand.

... another interesting waterbird that may be making itself available for portraits right behind the house. Chances are you've seen this dark gray paddler as it inches along vegetated shorelines in local ponds, canals and marshes. Photograph the Common Moorhen-
1- We've mentioned their very specific habitat-marshy, well vegetated waterways especially where cattails are present (Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds) so finding them is relatively easy and the ones that reside in community ponds are often easily approached by the stealthy photographer.
2- Get a nice level shooting angle and really go for portraits or closeups. Why? The moorhen's almost solid gray color is punctuated by what is known as a red facial shield and bill, the latter of which is brilliantly brilliantly tipped in yellow. And unmistakable.
3- Those with a determined interest in bird photography will add another individually unique specimen to their collection with this one. One more interesting bit of trivia also from the Audubon Field Guide-the males equip the females with a series of nests fashioned just above the waterline which act as nightly "dormitories" for the growing brood.

AIDS/LifeCycle benefits, and is jointly produced by, San Francisco AIDS Foundation (Tax ID # 94-2927405) and L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center (Tax ID # 95-3567895), each of which is a nonprofit, public benefit corporation recognized as tax exempt under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Donations to AIDS/LifeCycle are deductible for income tax purposes, to the extent permitted by law.
Welcome to My AIDS/LifeCycle Homepage
|Donate to support Spencer!
|Team Deloitte
We're on our way
Goal: $10,000.00
Four years now I've trained and trained and trained... and then ridden from San Francisco to Los Angeles to fight HIV/AIDS, and each year I've sat down in the middle of it all to write a fundraising request to friends and family, laying out my reasons for riding, my reasons for riding again, and again, and again, and what the tens of thousands of dollars we've raised do, and what they mean to a community. This year to date I've been quiet; the words not forming in my head the way they have before, the text not writing itself in the dark months of winter as I looked forward to training outside, or in the brighter days we now find ourselves in when I'm pretty much always sore here or there from training outside (1011 miles this calendar year - almost enough to get me to LA and back!). Five years ago AIDS/LifeCyle was an unknown adventure, one that changed my life, welcomed me into a community, gave me support and motivation to push myself harder and to do more good (and have some fun along the way). Five years on we are all part of that community, working together - some with the click of a mouse to donate, others with the hum of a well-oiled chain on an open road - to continue the fight against HIV/AIDS and to continue to offer support services to those in need. If I could wish anything of those who have contributed in the past or can contribute now it would be to experience a day on the ride, to watch the tireless dedication of over five hundred 'roadie' volunteers who build (and take down) tent cities along the way, to see two thousand cyclists ride out each day, to feel the welcome of the dozen small towns between San Francisco and Los Angeles as we simultaneously open their minds and they ours, but most importantly to meet some of the people whose lives have been saved - physically, medically, emotionally, financially - by the ride and the work of the San Francsico AIDS Foundation. As much as my tongue has been cold this ALC season, my heart is always warm when I think of what we all do together - riding, volunteering, supporting emotionally, and supporting financially.
Please consider a donation to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation on behalf of my participation in the AIDS/LifeCycle 11. If you've donated before, please try to donate at the same or higher level. This year I have set a goal of raising $10,000, and I believe that together we can certainly accomplish that by ride-out June 3rd. In this time of continued need but reduced funding from local, state and national governments, ever contribution means so much to the organization, and even more to those who benefit from its services.
Thank You,

Burs violence survivors, unfortunately are increasing in Nepal. The context is a bleak outlook. Domestic violence can ends in dramatic results: killing people or making them suffer for lifetime. Women are the ones most affected by this issue.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among woman of reproductive age in Nepal. Hospitals refuse to attend victims with more than 30 or 40% of burn injuries. BIR and Kanti Children's Hospitals are an exception. These are the only law costs hospitals that receive burned people, most of them coming from very poor areas. There are not rural hospitals or ambulances to transport patients. Many of the patients traveled by bus long distances to reach the hospitals in Kathmandu. Many of them were travelling with more than 40 or 60% of burn injuries in their bodies.
This could not have been done without the help of the NGO BVS Nepal. The organization is providing medical treatment, counseling, physiotherapy, nutritional support to burnt patients and recreational activities for the burnt children who came from the poorest areas in Nepal.

Nothing against Texas, but the Lone Star State isn't exactly known for its craft beer scene. Shiner Bock might taste just fine under the hot Texas sun, but it can't compete with the variety or robustness of Colorado's beers. And you'd be hard-pressed to find any other Texas beers on local liquor store shelves.
But their oldest craft brewery has decided it can hang with the big boys.
Houston-based Saint Arnold Brewing Co. announced today its beers will be available in September at Front Range liquor stores. It is currently only available in Texas and Louisiana.
Though beer has many purported patron saints, Saint Arnold of Metz is the best-known
"There are many reasons for the push into Colorado, the biggest being that it is the center of the craft beer universe and Saint Arnold recognizes that if it wants to be part of the craft beer conversation it needs to be visible and available in Colorado," brewery spokesman Daniel Keeney says in an e-mail.
Look for three beers on shelves initially, to be followed by more seasonals and specialty beers. While many in Colorado certainly have their issues with too many Texans here – why does it seem like every time I am stuck behind an RV towing a Jeep over a mountain pass, they have Texas plates? – I welcome Saint Arnold's arrival into Colorado.
Because let's face it. It's just too darn hot in Texas for us Coloradans to drive there to try their beers.

Pinkston feels grateful to be alive following a health scare that ended his season. The Cleveland Browns guard was hospitalized in October following a game against Cincinnati with blood clots in his lungs. The second-year player doctors told him if he had taken a hit in the game that "I could've probably died then so I'm all happy about it that I'm still here."||||||| Pinkston, speaking with reporters on Friday for the first time since getting sick, said he has been working out and plans to play next season. He said he feels "normal" and is looking forward to resuming his career. Pinkston said he thought he only had bronchitis in the week leading up to being hospitalized. He continues to take blood thinners. The ordeal has changed Pinkston's view on life, he said.
Pinkston has been released from the hospital after being treated for blood clots in his lungs.||||||| Pinkston, who started Cleveland's first six games at left guard, was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic last week with the life-threatening condition. The 25-year-old was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, ending his second NFL season. A Browns spokesman confirmed Pinkston was released Wednesday.
Pinkston remains hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs, a life-threatening condition he's grateful was detected early. After the Browns revealed Pinkston's condition after practice on Friday, he confirmed his illness on Twitter while being treated at the Cleveland Clinic.||||||| Pinkston will not play Sunday against Indianapolis and the Browns do not know when the second-year guard will be released from the hospital or cleared to return. Pinkston started all 16 games in 2011 as a rookie. He played tackle in college, but was switched to guard last season after the Browns lost Eric Steinbach to a season-ending back injury.

Friday, November 16, 2012 —
The Aquadale fourth grade classes went on their annual coastal trip Oct. 8-10.
The group left at 6:30 a.m. and arrived in New Bern just prior to lunchtime. After lunch, a tour was at Tryon Palace followed by a fossil dig at Aurora. The group then boarded a ferry across the sound and on to Morehead City.
After dinner at The Sanitary Fish Market, students and chaperones headed to Beaufort Freewill Baptist Church to spend the night.
Tuesday morning found the group at the Maritime Museum in Beaufort for a film on Blackbeard and a scavenger hunt throughout the facility. Lunch was held at Atlantic Beach followed by seashell hunting, kite flying, and down time with chaperones and parents. Late afternoon found the group at Ft. Macon for a history lesson of the fort and a musket firing demonstration.
The group then headed south on N.C. 58 to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium for the evening. While at the aquarium, the group toured the entire facility (plus a behind the scenes tour) and slept in front of the huge tank that included sharks, eels, a sea turtle and various other fish.
One of the students' favorite events at the aquarium was the touch tanks that included horseshoe crabs and skates.
Wednesday morning allowed one hour for parents to visit the aquarium and have the students explain the events from the prior evening.
The group headed south to Wilmington for lunch and a self guided tour of the Battleship North Carolina. The final leg of the trip was completed back to Aquadale by late afternoon.
Parent involvement is always a strong point of the trip as approximately 50 additional people attended the trip. Parents helped with preparing lunches, repairing kites, moving groups between areas and just being supportive of their children and the school.
The trip is made possible by community support of a barbecue in late September. The barbecue was organized by Diane Knotts, with the Aquadale Fire Department cooking the pork and chicken. The school staff, parents and many community businesses made donations for this event.
Upon returning to school, the students reflected on the three-day trip by writing a narrative featuring their favorite events. Lifetime memories of coastal North Carolina were made for the students with this field trip.

Changing China
Giant on the move
Smogwatch July 24
The iconic national stadium, the Bird's Nest in Beijing was barely visible through smog on Thursday (July 24), despite last-ditch attempts to turn the smokey and dusty Chinese capital into the promised pollution-free Olympic venue. The temperature was forecast to be around 34 degrees Celsius with 79 percent humidity.
The Beijing Ministry for Environmental Protection was still showing data from Wednesday (July 23) when the Chinese Air Pollution Index (API) showed a reading of API 89. This figure is valid up until 1200 local (0300 GMT) the present day, but the air quality on Thursday was visibly even worse than the day before.
API 89 is still grade two in the Chinese system, meaning "comparatively good", and counts as a "blue sky day" in Beijing.
Environmental experts have in the past cast doubts on the Beijing's claims of improvement in air quality, particularly the much-vaunted "blue sky days" tally that the authorities use to measure the improvement. Beijing says the blue sky index is aimed at helping Beijing residents understand the differences in air quality.
The city's chronic pollution has been one of the biggest headaches for Games organisers. On Sunday the authorities have restricted traffic and called a halt to all building work, giving the construction dust a few weeks to settle before the Opening Ceremony.
see the latest smogwatch video from around the Olympic Green here
I was looking at the pictures I took around Oct-November and the sky looked much clearer then. I think it is probably more to do with the season though. August is probably the worst month to have the games, in terms of the weather. Late Sept, early October would have been great.
http://2008gamesbeijing.com/beijings-new -cctv-tower/
I am quite sure that this current smog is all due to the season and climate of Beijing. And this is a good reason for the Beijing officials to be surprised by such turn of even. They probably pick the dates of the games not knowing what they will face in August. We must sympathize with these officials to face such unexpected, uncontrollable surprise.
My mother saw a program on HK based Phoenix TV, saying that BCBOG wanted to have the Games in September cuz that's the best time of the year in BJ, but NBC, who paid a lot for exclusive TV coverage in the US, opposed that. September in the US is when the new TV season begins, if the Games extends into September, it will throw off all the TV shows for the fall season for NBC. NBC wanted to have the games in July instead, and August is a compromise.
In September 1999 when i first visited Beijing the sky was beautiful and blue and I commented to the guide, who said it was unusual…he was correct, on later visits including a 10 month stay where i did not see the sun , it wasn't so.
September would have been a better month, and 9 would still have been an auspicious number, but 'look let the games begin' they are on their way blue sky or not…and then let them be over with!
August is the worst time in the summer to visit Beijing (and a lot of Chinese cities), people in China prefer to travel in September and early June.
You can forget about hosting the games in India during the summer – some athletes might die there.
Turns out the CCP can't hide everything. The pollution their system has encouraged will be a blight on Beijing Games. Soon they will pay publicly for their backward ways.
