Catalan calls for independence has obvious parallels to Scotland's referendum in 2014, but the potential impact from an independent Catalonia would likely cause more ripples across Europe.
I was very humbled last week to be invited to Valencia, Spain, for Choice Hotels International's European franchisee conference, which was attended by approximately 300 hotel owners and GMs.
The weather was very warm, which was one reason, it was revealed to me, Choice bigwigs plumped for Spain as a location for the three-day event.
Also, it offered a great opportunity to market Choice in a country where it currently has no hotels. (The hotel firm's brands in Europe are so far limited to its Clarion, Quality Inn, Comfort Inn and soft-collection Ascend flags.)
Mark Pearce, Choice's international division SVP, who spends much of the year in Amsterdam, told me one shortlisted destination for the event was Barcelona, but event planners could not find exactly what they wanted there.
Valencia is more than a perfect replacement—it is, after all, where my Italian wife Francesca's twin sister and family live. It is a city I know very well. (A restaurant recommendation is Pare Pere, and let the owner order for you based on the fresh, daily ingredients. It is yards from another excellent spot, Racó del Turia.)
Valencia was also a good choice in that Barcelona was not. As I tucked into soft artichokes, voting was taking place in Catalonia in an independence referendum that the Spanish government declared illegal.
Supporters of Catalan independence claimed policemen, sent to Barcelona and other cities to stop voting, were heavy handed at best and violent at worst.
There is support in Catalonia to remain part of Spain, I should add.
The Spanish government, though, might deploy police, even the army, if they felt the situation merits it. Under Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution, they will say legally they can take over the running of Catalonia's regional government—a move that will, no doubt, bolster claims of and support for independence.
The hotel industry is shaking its head, hoping for the calm that the business world prefers. Adding to hoteliers' woes is the fact that in May Barcelona declared a moratorium on hotel openings and refurbishments amid locals' concern that tourism has reached unsustainable levels, generally accepted as more than 8 million tourists per year.
Stock markets always are jittery in such scenarios, and that was true in Barcelona and Madrid following last Sunday's vote.
Tourism has been a success here—evidently too much so—since Barcelona hosted the Summer Olympics in 1992.
The moratorium, push back against tourism and, now, strenuous calls for independence will not do the hotel industry any favors. The brand's siren calls and USPs of Mediterranean sunshine, Las Ramblas and Antoni Gaudí will keep it, ultimately, in good stead, but there are worrying signs in the wider Spanish and European context.
These will be along the lines of the worry seen in the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, in which independence was voted down, albeit somewhat narrowly, and more so with Brexit in all of the United Kingdom.
One voice I heard on the matter—my brother-in-law Jaime—said the difference, in his opinion, between Scotland and Catalonia is that Scotland was the smaller brother to the United Kingdom in its decision, but Spain is the smaller brother to Catalonia in this episode.
News agency Reuters reported on 1 October that across Spain, there are 2 million fewer jobs than in 2007, debt of nearly 100% of GDP and a budget deficit of more than 3%.
Pain during and since the global recession has been felt in Catalonia, too, with German statistics firm Statistica reporting unemployment in Catalonia in the first quarter of 2017 was 15.28%, down from 24.45% in Q1 2013.
Statistics can often say what their owners want them to say, but it does seems that Spain, and Catalonia, would suffer if there is a breakup of the country.
There are wider issues as to what Catalonia's relationship with the European Union would be, as there were when Scotland pondered divorce. The EU does not generally get involved in issues that it believes relate directly to its member states.
And for hotel firms? Two of Spain's largest, Barceló Hotel Group and Meliá Hotels International, are both based in Palma, Majorca, in the Balearic Islands, which, although not in Catalonia, is one of Spain's 19 autonomous communities and the only one, other than Catalonia, where Catalan is an official language.
When I walked around Valencia—whose province is known as the Valencian Community and where residents speak Valencian, with linguistic links to Catalan—I saw a numerous Spanish flags hung from apartment windows. I interpreted that visual message as being "we are Spanish," and the same might well be true of the Balearic Islands.
All that said, with Catalonia's autonomous government perhaps declaring independence as early as tomorrow, this scenario could add ripples to what already is the stormy sea of Europe.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Introduction ++ Intensive care patients experience pain to varying degrees and for a variety of reasons during their intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The evolution of the discipline of pain management as well as increasingly precise knowledge about the pharmacology and physiology of pain has led to significant advances in its evaluation and treatment. Intensive care providers have a growing arsenal of tools with which to treat pain including pain management consultants, patient- controlled analgesia (PCA), epidural analgesia, opioids, and new nonsteroidal agents. ++ Definitions and Terms + ▪ Pain: The sensation of discomfort or distress, which may be localized or diffuse, resulting from stimulation of pain receptors (or nociceptors), and which results in the initiation of a variety of protective and potentially deleterious physiologic consequences.▪ Pain scale: A variety of visual analogs, indexes, and questionnaires designed to help a patient characterize the intensity, location, and quality of pain.▪ Visual analog scale: Probably the most common approach to pain assessment in intensive care patients (Figure 9-1).▪ PCA: See Figure 9-2.▪ PCEA: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (Figure 9-3). ++Figure 9-1.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)Analog pain scale. ++Figure 9-2.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)Patient-controlled device for intravenous and epidural analgesic regimens.

The Library of the Dead is an anthology of literary fiction inspired by Chapel of the Chimes, a crematory and columbarium founded in 1909 in Oakland, California, and one of the area's most beautiful historic buildings. Thousands are entombed in golden books (urns) shelved from floor to ceiling in a glowing labyrinth of nearly countless rooms. The stories within The Library of the Dead represent a few of those golden books, and when opened, reveal the stories of those inside.
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in an Anthology.

2014: Katy in Review
http://katyschamberger.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/KRS_Warrior-150x150.jpeg 150w, http://katyschamberger.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/KRS_Warrior.jpeg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />01. What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?
Strap in, friends…..
- Published my first national magazine story in Delta's Sky magazine
- Met AJ and Howie of the Backstreet Boys
- Traveled to New Orleans, San Francisco, LA and Denver
- Flew first class on Virgin Airlines
- Watched Wrestlemania from private box seats
- Sat backstage at a WWE pay-per-view
- Attended my first comic convention (Planet Comicon in KC)
- Attended Wrestlemania Axxess
- Returned to full-time office employment for the first time in 4+ years
- Ran my first-ever race (a one-mile relay) and my first 5K (dressed as Ultimate Warrior. Yep.)
- Attended my first Weight Watchers meeting
- Secured my first corporate writing retainer (while self-employed as a freelancer)
- Wrote my first magazine cover story as a freelancer
- Attended an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago
- Watched an interview segment with my husband on a WWE DVD
- Helped coordinate an SMCKC breakfast featuring WWE's Social Media Director, the phenomenal Corey Clayton
02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more?
I made a valiant effort (many of them became irrelevant mid-year because of my employment change). And absolutely!
03. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Tony and Tricia welcomed sweet Elin into their family! Such a happy day!
04. Did anyone close to you die?
Although I never had the chance to meet him, the death of the Ultimate Warrior hit me and Rob incredibly hard. Rob had gotten to know Warrior after the two started working together, and I will forever be grateful to him, his family and his amazing agent for making Wrestlemania 30 the experience of a lifetime.
We also lost several close family friends, all of whom are deeply missed.
05. What countries did you visit?
The US! I did more traveling this year than any other year before, which means I'm slightly better at packing. Not much, though.
06. What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
More health-related achievements and less anxiety.
07. What date from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
April 6, 2014, WrestleMania 30. I'll echo Rob when I say that this is a day I will never, ever forget. After working a grueling schedule at Wrestlemania Axxess, we were back at the hotel, preparing to go to WrestleMania, only to be told that we were going to watch the show from the Ultimate Warrior's private box seats. Thus began the whirlwind of the WWE friends and family experience, which included a police-escorted bus to the Superdome and an incredible party during which I saw too many current and former superstars to count. The show itself was utterly spectacular. The thing I'll remember most about the entire stretch, however, is feeling a level of pride in Rob that I hadn't yet experienced. In fact, I spent a lot of the time alternating between the biggest grin ever and wanting to cry my eyes out. Seeing someone you love achieve their dreams after so many years of hard work, setbacks and obstacles is truly a miraculous thing to witness, and I'll treasure those feelings and memories forever.
08. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
In addition to several health milestones (more soon), I landed a full-time job as Online Content Marketing Manager at DSI, a Kansas City-based software company. The job opportunity came to me out of the blue (thanks, Scott!) and, although I wasn't necessarily looking for full-time employment because of my freelance business, I was drawn to the company and the work. I'm happy to say it's one of the best decisions I've made. My coworkers are some of the best I've ever had, the management team is superb and I've had a chance to not only showcase my skills, but also push myself to triumph over a sizable learning curve.
Health stuff: in a nutshell, this is ALWAYS my biggest battle. I've been overweight for most of my life, and although I've made short bursts of progress here and there, I always backslide–and nothing sticks. This year I recommitted to Weight Watchers and started attending meetings (w00t, J&J!). They made such a huge difference in terms of my learning and accountability. Additionally, I continued workouts with the best trainer in KC (Cheryl!) and pushed myself to achieve fitness milestones I never thought I'd accomplish, namely my two races. I've lost nearly 20 lbs. so far and my goal is to lose another 55 in 2015, along with running at least 3 more races. It's time to work!
09. What was your biggest failure?
I could always be more organized, but I don't consider that a failure — just an opportunity for improvement!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Knock on wood … just a few minor colds.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Tickets & accommodations so that Rob could see the "David Bowie Is" exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I still dream that he'll have a chance to see Bowie in concert, but this was seriously the next best thing.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Our cats, Monkey and Korma, set the bar incredibly high. They're really hard to top!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Liars, schemers, manipulators and people who don't treat others how they deserve to be treated. I learned some difficult lessons about true friendship this year, and that sometimes you have to take several steps back to preserve your worth and emotional sanity. Rob once asked me a brilliant question: "Are you the lead in your own story or the sidekick?" We only get one chance at this thing called life, and if you're not doing everything you can to make the most of it, you're doing it wrong.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Bills, food, clothes, Sephora, books, magazines and booze.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Rob's success. Wrestling. Running my first 5K. My new job. Summer of Riesling. IKEA opening in Kansas City.
16. What song will always remind you of 2014?
"Ticking Bomb" by Aloe Blacc
This was one of the songs used for the WWE pay-per-view, Payback, which Rob and I attended in Chicago. I loved this song the first time I heard it, and hearing it thump over various WWE PPV promos made it even better. I downloaded it on iTunes and cranked it while we were on the train from downtown Chicago to the airport — something about the lyrics and the beat made it one of those songs I could listen to over and over and over. See for yourself:
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
ii. thinner or fatter?
Thinner! By nearly 20 lbs.!
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Telling the people I love how much I love and appreciate them.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worrying about things beyond my control, or that haven't even happened yet. <—Stealing from Rob
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
We had a wonderful family Christmas in Columbia, followed by a lovely dinner with Rob's mom and stepdad. Next year, my mom and stepdad will be in mid-Missouri, too, which will be the best!
22. Did you fall in love in 2014?
Continued to love Rob more every day.
23. How many one-night stands?
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Parenthood. Newsroom. Scandal. Monday Night Raw (most of the time). Downton Abbey.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I hold some grudges, yes. They shall remain nameless 😉
26. What was the best book you read?
I can finally answer the comic/graphic novel part of this question! Rob introduced me to "Locke and Key" and it was FANTASTIC. Creepy, mesmerizing, thought-provoking — I devoured the series!
The best book I read was "Unbroken" (thanks for the stellar book club pick, Jamie!). It's not the lightest, happiest of reads, but it's beautifully and brilliantly written–I laughed, I cried, I wanted to yell and smash things. Eagerly awaiting a chance to see the movie.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I hate this question. My musical tastes don't lend themselves to much discovery. I did enjoy listening to Haim, and I continued my love affair with Pearl and the Beard. Also, I reignited my love for 70s rock and I've built a pretty epic Spotify playlist.
28. What did you want and get?
Continued professional and personal success.
29. What was your favorite film of this year?
Dang. I don't watch many movies anymore. I was really pleased with the film version of "Divergent." And "Blackfish" caused me to have an epic meltdown that included me sobbing into the phone to Rob, "WHY DO WE DO THIS TO ANIMALS? I HATE EVERYONE! CLOSE ALL THE ZOOS AND WATERPARKS! FREEEEEEEEE THE WHAAAAAAALES!" So, yeah. I'll leave it at that.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 32 and Rob and I worked his live painting display outside of Summerslam in L.A. It was hot and tiring, but I had a blast! Oh, and Rob gave me the best present EVER: I met Stone Cold Steve Austin and he wished me happy birthday 🙂 🙂 🙂
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
The vain answer: Losing more weight. The heartfelt answer: Spending more time with my favorite people.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?
#Bighairdontcare. Duh. Also, an accessories evolution. My statement necklace collection rocks. Oh, and I'm on a quest to build the largest-ever collection of KC T-shirts. I have more than a dozen so far.
34. What kept you sane?
Rob, my family, the Besties in Black, wine, books, Monkey and Korma.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
The Backstreet Boys … 17 years and still going strong! Also, some wrestlers that I won't name 😉
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The continued disappearance of women's rights. Why do people think they have the right to dictate what someone else does with her body? Newsflash: You don't. So cut that shit out.
37. Who did you miss?
My grandparents and far-away friends.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Oooh, yay. I've been waiting for this question. Her name is Patrice Farrell, and I jokingly refer to her as my "work BFF." Patrice is my coworker at DSI and the first person who came up and introduced herself to me when I started. Now I'm fortunate enough to be on the same team as her. She's incredibly smart, delightfully snarky and one of the hardest working people I know. She not only makes work fun (and less daunting) — she's also an amazing person. We assembled a team (Wrasslemania) for my first 5K, the Monster Dash. Not only did she dress up as a simply fantastic Jake the Snake Roberts (and her wife, Megan, made for a dreamy Hulk Hogan), but she ran with me the. whole. way. Since this was my first 5K (and my training was admittedly sporadic), I wasn't so much fun to run with. I ran in spurts and, whether walking or running, I was slow. But she stayed with me, even though she's way faster and in better shape than me, and when we crossed the finish line together, I knew that I'd always be grateful to her for being a wonderful person and an even better friend.
Honorable mentions: My other new coworkers: K Cobb, GVH and Justin, as well as the DG team. Also Angela (@acomicbookgirl), who I was thrilled to meet while in LA. Meeting Twitter friends IRL is THE. BEST.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014.
It's cliche and not terribly exciting, but hard work really does pay off. I saw it so, so many times throughout 2014, not only with my freelance business and my full-time career, but also with my health, with Rob's success and with so many of my amazing friends and family who accomplished their own personal and professional milestones. It's not always easy. It's not always fun. But if you have a goal that you're working toward and you truly invest time and effort, it will pay off. It also helps if you have a support network that can help keep you motivated, listen to you vent and make suggestions that you might not otherwise see. And once you start achieving your goals, take some time to savor that feeling. I do a terrible job of forging on to the next thing, always focusing on what's ahead instead of what I've done. Stop that! Your journey is incomplete if you can't look back and appreciate how far you've come.
And on a different note — I mentioned it earlier, but I have to come back to that poignant question that Rob posed to me so many years ago. Are you the lead in your life story? If not, the time to change that is now. It's not always easy — in fact, it can be downright painful (and I've shed the tears to prove it). But if you're not the principle focus in your own story, who is? Surround yourself with people who lift you up, make you laugh, make you want to be better and who are simply fun to be around. And all the while, don't forget who you are and what you want to accomplish. Your life story needs a main character–and that's you. It's time to step into the spotlight and live the life you want and deserve.

A great tip to stay fit is to follow a proven workout program. There are plenty of quality workout programs online and you can also find them in magazines such as Muscle & Fitness and Men's Fitness. Don't just blindly follow a workout program. You want to know that a workout program is effective.
Have a quick checkup done by a medical professional before you sign up for any scuba lessons. While learning to scuba dive can be a fun and exciting idea, make sure your lungs are in shape to handle it before you waste your money on something so pricey.
When hydrolyzed kosher collagen protein are trying to get into your best shape, make sure you get a solid routine in place. Many a fitness regiment has been quickly thwarted by making fitness plans that cannot fit into a real world schedule. Commit to yourself and your well-being by having a sensible plan.
Choose the right fitness club. Consider several factors before you sign up for a club membership. Don't just go to the nearest location. Make sure the club offers the services, exercise types and training you need. Choose the location with the broadest services available as you never know what you might need later.
Choose tightly fitted shoes for climbing and fit them to your bare foot. Climbing is almost as much a matter of feel as it is of strength and endurance. Tightly fitted shoes, shoes fitted so tightly in fact we can't comfortably walk in them, allow us to climb more effectively.
A great way to get fit is to consult with a professional bodybuilder. http://felonysize38marlin.soup.io/post/607457519/How-To-Promote-Your-Skin-Care-Retail?sessid=590652ecd22f0414357a7ed6a709d4e7 of bodybuilders have their own web sites where they offer a service that gives you the opportunity to pay to have your own consultation with them. You can get their experienced advice on your diet and workout routine.
Avoid being too hard on yourself if you fail to meet a goal or take a day off. We all need a break now and then. The important thing is to not take one day's failure, as a reason to quit entirely. Fitness is something you will be doing for the rest of your life. Just like brushing http://fibrelevel72charla.alltdesign.com/nutrition-tips-that-make-you-want-to-eat-healthy-4863338 , just because you missed a day doesn't mean to you stop forever.
Play a game or two. Video games, and tabletop games like foosball, table hockey, and ping pong, have all shown to be excellent ways to improve your hand-eye coordination. If you play a sport of any kind, you will need to improve on this, so pick up your game remote or a paddle!
Don't overcompensate for exercise by eating more food, or you will simply end up taking in excess calories. While exercise does increase your nutritional needs, the increase is not noticeably large. You don't need to make a conscious effort to increase your food intake unless you are working out for several hours a day.
Power up your heart by doing aerobics. Aerobic exercise, like running, can lower your resting heart rate. This is good because it's a sign that the heart has become more efficient and powerful in pumping blood throughout your body. As your level of fitness increases, your resting heart rate will drop.
When working out, a great tip to recover quicker from a brutal workout is to lightly exercise the same muscles the next day. You should use a weight that is around twenty percent of the max weight you can lift. Perform two sets of 25 reps. Doing this will send more blood and nutrients into the muscles, which will aid in their recovery.
Get rid of that pouch with your pooch! Taking your dog for a walk or run has always been a great way to get in shape. Now, many fitness and canine enthusiasts are taking it one step further. Try any number of new pet-friendly workouts that either use Fido as resistance or give you a workout while training your dog.
After any workout, you should remember to eat. You should revolve your meal times around your workout schedule. Eating right after you work out helps improve the healing time and recovery time of your muscles as well as provides a healthy flow of nutrients to your muscles.
Make sure to check your body for any signs of injury or disease. Go to your doctor regularly and have a check up and perform some tests with your doctor. This will ensure that you are keeping nice and healthy and nothing will pop up and surprise you
If you internalize the tips you've just read, you will have a much easier time reaching your fitness goals. You can do what you intend to do if you remain focused and try hard. You will start seeing results rapidly, and they will be enduring.
Get In Shape As Quick As You Can With These Tips
It does not matter if you are an accomplished athlete or just a beginner, you will benefit from knowing about fitness and how to stay healthy.

Ice Everything
A friend of mine recently messed up his ankle pretty bad during a basketball game. His first questions was will he be able to play next weekend?
As an athletic trainer this is the most common question you get from the player, the coaches and sometimes even the press.
There are a lot of tests, procedures and understanding that go into making the return to play call. However with any minor and some major injuries there are a few things you should do.
If you haven't heard the term RICE, then let me be the first to throw that out there for you. Rest; Ice, Compress, Elevate. I will be mentioning all of these activities, but focusing on icing.
Rest: Rest is used to break up the pain-spasm cycle.
Compression: This is a mechanical way to push the inflammation out of the area so your body can get rid of it.
Elevate: Elevate is similar to compression, especially in the lower body. The venous return, how the blood gets back to the heart, only works when our muscles contract and squeeze the blood back up the body. So, if you are hurt and can't move then you need another way for the blood to get back to the heart, elevation!
Ice is AWESOME. One of the best things about ice is it is fairly abundant. It doesn't matter if you are in the park or in a full on gym the odds are someone close has ice with them, even if you need to steal it from someones soda!
During the injury process a cell breaks open like an egg. During this process it releases chemicals, proteins and everything it has out into the body. When this happens the body responds by trying to fix it. Because the body is trying to fix itself as fast as possible it throws everything it can at the injured area. During this time other cells that were near the first injured cell start to break open because of the influx off all that healing elements. This is known as Second Cell Death Syndrome(SDCS).
Random factoid, in many spinal injuries where the spinal cord was not injured, but the structures around the cord were, result in paralysis because of Second Cell Death Syndrome effects.
This SCDS needs to stop as soon as possible. ICE is how we do this. When you ice the area that is hurt you slow down the viscosity of the blood in the area. Meaning you slow down the rate at which blood gets there. Well, if all these helping cells were slowed down in their pursuit to help, then we can also slow down the rate at which SCDS happens.
The other great benefit from ice is it is cold! Yup hold it on there for a while and it goes numb. This breaks up the pain-spasm cycle, by not allowing pain. So if you have no pain then you also prevent the helping cells from even needing to get there in the first place, then SCDS doesn't occur and you start preventing swelling.
Use Ice vs. Ice packets if at all possible. What makes ice so effective is a term called a phase change. This is the process of when ice turns to water. It takes a lot of energy, heat is a measurement of energy, to make this change happen. This means that the area cools down much faster than if you were to use an ice pack, even if the ice pack is actually colder, which is pretty common.
Important Things To Note When Icing
Ice has a delayed effect. This means that it works long after you have applied the ice. For example, if you ice your quadriceps muscle for 20 minutes and remove the ice, the chilling effect of the ice will actually penetrate deeper over the next hour. This means DO NOT run around after you ice.
You are still getting the effect from he ice so use it. Once you start moving around, take a shower, or even start wiggling your foot, you start bringing more blood to the area. This movement rapidly heats the area, trying to bring it back to normal. We do not want this as we are trying to keep the pain-spasm cycle under control as well as limit the amount of inflammation that is going to occur.
The colder you can take the ice the better. For ankle injuries I really like using a slush bucket. This is when you fill a bucket full of ice and add enough water to make it slushy. Once you out your foot in the water, which will be FREEZING do to the phase change, keep it moving. If you leave it in one place you will develop a thermal bubble around your foot and decrease the effect of the ice treatment.
In closing, use ice. Start with it and keep using it. Heat is bad and should not be used EVER when you trying to prevent inflammation. Is as much as you can as often as you can, if you are really trying to prevent inflammation. If you have to walk around then ice more. Icing should not be based off of time, but based off how long it takes the area to go numb.
Let me repeat that: Ice until you are numb, not for a time!
If you have any questions about using ice for treating your injury feel free let me know. I can also give you some exercises to do in a slush bucket to help you recover faster.

Another wonderful day at the Fornet!
20 March 2012
After having a great day at the Fornet yesterday there was no doubt in my mind about returning there today, even with some clouds hanging over the Col de la Galise and signs of wind at altitude. I had a young Canadian, Kari, with me this morning on her first trip to Val d'Isere and she was well impressed as we warmed-up with a run in the Grand Vallon. I thought that with a few centimetres of fresh snow being worked by the wind that yesterday's tracks would have been covered, which they weren't, but there was still strips of clean snow and it was jolly good skiing. From there we had an excellent run in the Pays Desert with a ten-minute 'skin' to access the clean lower slopes. (Gill and her friend Niki joined us for the Pays desert before Niki had to catch a bus to the airport.) It was then time to head over the Col where the snow is wonderful. With a few centimetres and a brisk wind the tracks of yesterday were erased and Kari was purring with the views and the quality of the snow. It was great skiing all the way to the bottom and the trip through the gorge was as impressive as ever. It was another terrific morning and a fabulous introduction to 'Alpine' for Kari.
Meanwhile, Andreas skied the Grand Vallon, Pays Desert and Col Pers as well, and Olivier was also in the neighbourhood, grinning form ear-to-ear. Thomas was also skiing the Fornet sector but I'm not too sure what all he skied. Chris decided to go for a walk and they 'skinned' to the Ouille des Tretetes for some excellent north-facing snow followed by a trip up to the Col des Fours, which I'm sure was pretty good as well. Bravo Tejina!
Andreas is skiing with Kevin S this week who remembers my moustache from 25-years ago. I'm always a little worried when eye-witnesses from that period are in town as we did have a pretty outrageous time in those days, but Kevin seems fairly discreet, thank goodness! Great to see you again Kevin.
Gill and I walked Mel up the Manchet valley this afternoon to watch Katie's cross-country skiing and we spotted a group of people skiing the Banane at 3:15. No wonder there isn't any clean spring snow on the classic slopes these days. Idiots!
I'm not too sure about the forecast although it is becoming overcast as I write at 4:30pm. Fingers crossed for either some more snow or some sunshine as we can work with either for a few days.
PS I forgot to mention Stephen's 'Splat du jour', which according to Robert could be the best of the season. He was craving away on his way down to the T-bar when it hit some softer-than-expected snow and he went for a beauty, upside-down and spinning around with his legs up in the air. I was wondering why half the group had gone missing but it became evident when Stephen showed up with snow in his ears, mouth and nose. Glad you're still in one piece Steve!

MOSCOW -- An unknown number of people died when leaking methane gas touched off an explosion at a coal mine in the southern Ukraine, the official Tass news agency reported Thursday.
In a four-paragraph statement issued by senior Communist Party and government organs, Tass said the accident occurred Wednesday at the Yasinovskaya-Glubokaya mine near Donetsk, the main coal-producing region of the European USSR.
Tass gave no fatality figure, but used language that hinted at heavy casualties and serious destruction at the mine.
The Communist Party Central Committee, the Council of Ministers and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, or parliament, ``sent deep condolences to the families and relatives of the dead miners and to the workers, engineers and technicians of the mine,`` Tass said.
The agency said representatives of the central government in Moscow as well as Ukrainian authorities ``are taking measures to give aid to the survivors` families and to eliminate the consequences of the accident.``
No other details were given.
An energy expert assigned to a Western embassy said the mine is located 65 miles east of Donetsk in the Donbass coal basin, one of the oldest and most productive veins in the USSR.
The Tass account was in keeping with a new Kremlin policy that calls for the prompt reporting of accidents and national disasters in a move toward increased openness in Soviet affairs.
The policy, called glasnost in Russian and usually translated as ``openness`` or ``publicity,`` says deep-rooted social ills cannot be solved without a frank assessment of the underlying problems.
Although the Kremlin initially stonewalled in the days after the April 26 Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident, Soviet media published detailed reports on the catastrophe by early summer.

Hi loves! Sorry for the delay in posts, this week has been super hectic for me but I finally have a day off. Today I am featuring this baby blue skirt I bought in NYC. I fell in love with the color and of course the floral detail. I paired it with a simple white crop top from CR and my favorite heels this season. The color is just so bright and the length makes it super comfortable to wear around!

[deleted post]The comments under 4,5,7,8,9 are absolutely wrong.. I am telling you as a user who uses it hard core... I tried watching movies (FHD) no heating... GPS and Wifi for long time not heating as much as Nexus 5 or Samsung Note 3.
Comparing with battery size it is not taking that much of time same as nexus 5, since I have both and compared.
MIUI is too fast because it occupies some memory, which never affected any of my apps.
You can customize the security and use privacy guard inside and which will help to protect your data. (Really you people can share your entire data with google bu using gmail, chrome and android phones and complaining about china phone... feel like laughing)
Anonymous, 31 Jul 2014suggest me..........which is better mi3 or moto g?Mi3... dont think... just buy it man...
Awesome performance.. Tried Asphalt 8 as well as Fifa14 both are smooth and good graphics quality also.
For this price Even nexus 5 is not up to the mark of Mi3.

She took my brother away.
How could she do that?
She's not human.
Therefore she must be rid of.
"Woah," muttered Ichimoku Ren to himself as he peered at Ai's computer screen, reading the new Hell Correspondence message. "Is that even possible?"
"Is what?" asked Hone Onna.
"Some person just sent Ai an email to send Ai to tell."
"Like dividing by zero."
"Never happen."
Erika, the young adult who sent Ai the impossible email, was waiting patiently with her straw doll in her room.
Man, is she in for it! It seems impossible, like dividing by zero, but it's worth a shot!
Erika gracefully pulled the thread on the straw doll.
"Your grudge has been heard." echoed through her room.
"Has it really?" She cried out happily. "Yes!"
Suddenly, without warning, a hole appeared in the air and began sucking everything in the room into it, turning the hole into a type of vortex.
"OH MY GOD! DID I DIVIDE BY ZERO?" She hollered, dropping the straw doll, getting sucked into the hole. Once everything in the room was gone, the hole disappeared, leaving nothing but the straw doll. A small, pale hand then picked the straw doll up and brushed the dust off.
"Miss, where did she go?" Asked Ichimoku.
"Where things that attempt to divide by zero go." She said, clutching the doll. "Infinite nothingness."
"Naw, she'll probably just get thrown into some random lake. It's really wherever the vortex feels like throwing people into."
The vortex appeared once again over a large lake and proceeded to throw everything it sucked into a very random lake. Erika struggled to get back to the surface. She took a minute to catch her break. She looked around with a blank face and muttered stupid impossible dividing by zero…

An apple a day apparently keeps the doctor away. Sometimes despite having taken care of your health by eating the right thing at the right time, you fall ill. At times such as these, you wonder what could have been done to not have been in that situation ever.
While you can do so many things to protect yourself from ailments, immunity is something that cannot be taken for granted. Keeping your health in mind and trying to rid you from the tension, trauma and other adjectives related to pain that you undergo during this phase, getting you back into action becomes the need of the hour.
Towards making this experience less distressing Danvanthiri Medical Tourism, a start-up venture initiative of Maleshaa Inc., has launched the first of its kind Healthcare App that hosts a whole lot of features apart from just booking a doctor's appointment.
The App helps you take care of yourself and your loved ones, all at the click of a button. From booking a doctor's appointment to taking tests at diagnostic centres, from ordering medicines online at pharmacies to getting quotations from hospitals to undergo a surgery, you name it and they have it. They have special features of getting quotes from diagnostic centres and hospitals where you can compare quotes and then choose the service thus making an informed decision.
In short, this free App is technology entwined into the healthcare industry.
Let's take a look at how a common user can be benefitted by the various features this App has got:
Doctor Appointment:
You can search for verified doctors specialised in Allopathy, Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy etc. Both the doctor and the patient save time through this organised booking system which is managed efficiently. This also gives the user freedom from those long hours of wait in the clinic lobby.
Hospital booking:
This facility helps users who need to undergo planned surgeries or treatments. You can receive quotations from hospitals of your choice and based on the facilities available in each hospital you can choose the one that fits the bill.
Save Me:
This is a unique feature that helps you during times of emergencies when you cannot even make a phone call to book an ambulance. After pressing the Save Me button, the patient co-ordinator is notified and comes with an ambulance at your door-step after understanding the intensity of your medical condition.
Ordering medicine online:
This App allows you to upload the doctor's prescription online and send it across to pharmacies in the vicinity. Once the pharmacies look at the availability of the medicines, they send across the quotation, which helps you to place an order online.
You can ascertain that all the medicines you require are in stock and also have the benefit of choosing the cheapest/reliable suppliers and choose for it to be delivered to your door-step. This is especially helpful when you have to go late in the night to buy medicines, thereby saving your valuable time.

With a gamut of features created for your convenience, in one single App, I think it's about time you embrace technology and use it for a better health. Remember: Your Health is Vital and you cannot ignore it!

Far Sump Extensions - Phil Wolstenholme
Present: Andy Farrow, Wayne Sheldon, Phil Wolstenholme
Another survey trip was planned by Wayne to update another bit of the Peak-Speedwell system - this time the bulk of the top passages in Far Sump Extension. To save time and energy we'd arranged to go in via Speedwell - I'd never been past the top of Calcite Aven before and Andy hadn't been to much of this part of the system either, so it was a good opportunity to do some useful work and see some new cave. Edd had meant to be coming along too but pulled out mysteriously. No details needed on the trip in, which was routine, and pleasantly the water in the Far Canal was quite low and not too cold, so we made good progress to the Far Sump connection in Leviathan, and the dreaded 'cow arse worms pool', which I wasn't looking forward to. Strangely, the worms weren't visible, but the water in the pool was also murky, so maybe someone had been through recently - levels were quite low too.
Whatever, it didn't take long wriggling through before the stink started - like a farm pond mixed with dirty drains with a hint of oil - lovely. Holding our breath, we swam in liquid sludge for a few metres and then the long crawl to the next foul duck just before Stemple Highway - which smelled no better. Once in the relative comfort of Stemple Highway we took stock and realised the best way to get clean was to get up Calcite Aven as quickly as possible. I took that a little too literally in my new comfier, superior harness, and pretty much ran up the rope after Wayne, giving him a bit of a surprise at the second rebelay, as I wasn't meant to be there yet. However, by the time he'd reached the top rebelay it was obvious something was wrong with the rigging up there and from his echoey shouts down to us it became obvious there was some damage somewhere.
He came down and I went up to have a look, and sure enough, the rope on the top, tight traverse had no sheath at all for about 30cm where it had plainly rubbed away on the sharp nose of rock. The inner cores looked mostly intact, but as they were flapping about loosely, it was hardly confidence-building. No idea who has done this (or rather, not reported it for others' safety which is more pertinent), but either way, it was a bigger risk than either of us were prepared to take. The lower, loose traverse was so low that climbing back up would have been risky and hard work, and it was rigged too tight for a rope-transfer onto a chest ascender. Andy was happy to take our word for it and abseiled back down from the ledge, followed by us, with me marvelling and wondering about all the other, smaller avens leading off into invisible areas above. I assume all this has been done before, of course...
Once back down on safe ground, we decided on a plan B. Wayne had been asked to survey Muddy Aven by Rob Eavis, which is more or less opposite the Calcite Aven access passage, and so he began free-climbing with the Disto, shooting legs and splays as he went, whilst Andy and I had a sit-down. After ten minutes Wayne shouted down that he could do with some backup, as he was getting quite high (not that sort of high, but I was good enough for both of us). So I climbed up after him, and quite an enjoyable zig-zag climb it was, augmented by several small steel steps that are very helpful, if extremely sharp and rather nasty if missed! However, the aven lives up to its name, as it is indeed very muddy. At about 20m it levels out, and I could see Wayne's feet above me as he crawled into a dig at the end - presumably Henry's. I could feel a strong draught where I was, so something's still going up there. However, not for us. We climbed back down and Wayne said that he'd spend ten minutes sorting out all the data, so I took Andy downstream to look at Stemple Highway and show him AI Passage and the Titan connection so he knows where he'll pop out when he finally drops it all. The blind aven just below Coral Aven was also looked at, but I managed to swing my wet, gritty footloop into my eye at this point, requiring a 5 min eyebath in the Coral Aven shower - as painful as it was restorative.
We met Wayne back at the junction and I decided I was going to have a look at Salmon's Cavern, which requires a 9m rope-climb up to a col and then a very muddy 'handline' down the other side for 6m. As I was the only one still wearing a harness or interested (Wayne's already done it), I was on my own. The handline down was a nightmare as it's incredibly muddy and slippery, and is double-roped with knots every 50cm, so you have to step in each loop, with both cowstails gradually allowing you to 'aid climb' down - sort of. It was a complete joke and utterly exhausting, dangerous and pretty futile when a 6m single rope would do the job far better and be safe too. I nearly fell nastily twice, prompting Wayne in some audio confusion to set off back for the rope we'd brought with us, still at Muddy Aven. I finally dropped into Salmon's Cavern and was able to marvel at the sheer size of it - massive diameter and a huge roof soaring off, with a rope hanging down from the 'Unnamed Aven', and the old rope from Stemple Aven now cut off with a sign on it saying 'Do Not Use' - as it was 3m off the floor that would be difficult. The old stemples that JNC pulled down are all piled up on the floor. I finally saw the base of Ride of the Valkyries at least - one day I'll drop it! I also had a quick look at the ascending crawl to the final sump, but couldn't be arsed with any more thrutching given the journey out.
I managed to get back up the handline easier than I got down it, just as Wayne returned with the rope I no longer needed. He could have thrown the existing ascent rope over the col, but he didn't think about that. Either way, it would be better if re-rigged. After that we were getting cold and had to make the boats out, so we set off back, again dreading the filthy horrors, but we got through quickly and soon were back in the Speedwell streamway, where we immediately washed off as much of the liquid evil as I could, though I still went down the Bung ladder to be sure.
A good trip, but disappointing we didn't see all the big stuff - hopefully we can get the top rope re-rigged ASAP.
