GOP Sen. Stephen Saland concedes NY 41st District race to Democrat Terry Gipson
Trailing by more than 2,100 votes, longtime state Sen. Stephen Saland on Thursday conceded the race in New York's 41st Senate District to Democratic challenger Terry Gipson.
The defeat brings Saland's career of more than three decades in state government to a close.
In a prepared statement, Saland, R-Poughkeepsie, said he conceded after learning the final count of absentee ballots and affidavits. The race between Saland and Gipson was close enough at the end of Election Day, Nov. 6, that it could not be decided until the paper ballots in the race, which also included Conservative Party candidate Neil DiCarlo, were counted.
"I would like to thank the people I have represented for the last 32 years in both the Assembly and the Senate for the privilege of serving them," Saland said in his statement. "It has truly been a great honor; an honor I share with the members of my staff who dedicated themselves to the people who I have had the good fortune to represent."
The senator also thanked his wife, Linda, and their family.
The 41st Senate District comprises all of Dutchess County, except for the towns of Beekman and Pawling, and also includes three towns in Putnam County.
Dutchess County Democratic Elections Commissioner Frank Knapp said on Thursday that with all votes in the district counted, Gipson had 53,554 to Saland's 51,444. DiCarlo drew 17,297 votes.
Gipson, a Rhinebeck resident, said in a prepared statement on Thursday: "I look forward to representing all the people in our district ... Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, Working Families, Greens and Democrats alike."
Gipson also lauded Saland for a "long, distinguished career" in state government.
Gipson, who claimed victory in the race three days before Saland conceded, will begin his two-year term in the Senate in January. Continued...
"I will continue to do exactly what I have been doing for the last 20 months," Gipson said. "Traveling the district and listening to people's concerns so that I can be an effective voice for them in Albany. We have lots of work to do, and I look forward to getting started."
Saland was elected to the state Senate in 1990 after serving 10 years in the Assembly. He has been a vocal opponent of the tax imposed on residents and businesses in his district by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and has proposed restructuring the agency and imposing a tax cap.
In 2011, Saland crossed party lines to cast the deciding vote in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in New York. That vote played a significant role in securing the endorsement of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat.
The marriage vote also was the impetus for DiCarlo to mount a GOP primary challenge to Saland, a race the senator won by a narrow margin.
Another GOP senator who voted for same-sex marriage, Roy McDonald of Saratoga County, also lost his re-election bid this year. Among the two other Republican senators who backed the bill, one retired and one was re-elected.
Saland's concession leaves only one state Senate race undecided — the one in the 46th District, which stretches from Ulster County to Montgomery County.
Republican Assemblyman George Amedore leads Democrat Cecilia Tkaczk in that race by about 110 votes with some paper ballots still to be counted. The process, though, has been stalled by a court battle between the two sides and may not be completed until next week or later.

Income Taxes and Your City's Post-Recession Economy
Recovery Gauge: Patch towns tell a story of a post-recession rebound
Many Northeast Ohio cities, like their residents, are slowly recovering from the Great Recession.
Cities raise money primarily through income taxes, permits, fees and through state support. That money pays for services you use — fire and police departments, roads, snow removal, garbage collection — along with additional services you've come to expect, such as senior centers, swimming pools, community festivals and Fourth of July fireworks.
There are three kinds of income taxes:
- Withholdings, which are taken out of employee paychecks
- Net profit tax, which businesses pay on their earnings, and
- Individual income tax, which residents who work outside a city pay. (This varies based on the towns where you live and work, what the income tax rate is and what credit is available between the two towns.)
Simply put, cities make money when their residents make money. And both cities and their residents have suffered the past few years.
Patch reviewed income tax revenue from all 18 Northeast Ohio Patch communities. We compared each city's collections from 2008 to 2012 to get a sense of how local communities have weathered the storm.

Haven't you heard-Strongsville is pretty much unscathed according to our mayor & city powers that be.That must be thanks to that "temporary" RITA tax they slid by everyone a few years back that then magically turned permanent. Please Strongsville residents,no need to vote for levies of ANY kind because we have so much we're rolling in it! That's why we just spent $130K on a sign you can't see till you've almost passed it-came right out of the general fund! Guess who funded that? WE THE TAXPAYERS. The fund is supposed to be in place for services for residents among other things,but "the businesses wanted it" according to the city.Well,then let the businesses pay for it! There's alot of things that could be better served with that money that WE contribute,but don't have a say in how it's distributed.To me all the sign screams is Strongsville Snobbery/Overindulgence. Who made the decision & who voted to approve this because take note & don't vote to retain them in the next election-we don't need any more of these "wise" decisions,although I'm sure they'll claim they did their "due diligence " like they did with the Jardine crematorium debacle. Can't wait till the city sees how they are gonna get burned on that one.

Sustainable quality with tradition
"Tradition and Innovation – Workshop Through Time". From 28th of March to 1st of April a special show is being presented in the framework of this year's Amitec which is a retrospective of 50 years of workshop equipment. MAHA Maschinenbau Haldenwang stands for versatile innovation with tradition in workshop outfitting. While the special show is dedicated to the past, MAHA's visitors are presented with a look into the future. At the shared booth (C 04) in hall 2 the dealers Gelhaar, Haweka, Heil & Sohn, Klawe and the MAHA-sales company will present current MAHA products and those of SLIFT, a subsidiary. Products will include test lanes, lifting technology, combi-tester for emission testing and brake testers.
Innovation, tradition and decades of experience define the company founded in 1969 in Allgäu. To this day all developments are oriented to this seal of premium quality which is not only documented by an in-house manufacturing depth of around 80 %. Intense cooperation with technical universities and universities, major investments in research and technology are guarantees for perfected, practice-oriented products. Amitec visitors can see for themselves at booth C 04 in Hall 2.
Lifting made easy
Construction design and the requirements placed on lifting technology vary greatly from workshop to workshop. For this reason, MAHA offers a wide variety of products in its lift portfolio.
Lift Technology
- Mobile Column Lift MCL
- Double Stroke Scissors Lift TWIN F III 3.0
- Mobile Column Lift RGA
- Two-Post Lift ECON III 3.0 and ECON III 5.0

The MPM 4 can measure the tiniest particles from approximately 100 to 10.000 nm. The emission flow is diverted in the measurement device between a laser beam source and an optical receiver.
The MPM 4 can be used for diesel and gasoline motors. An electronic evaluation leads to information about the particle concentration in a dimension of mg/m3. (particle weight/volume emission).
The device encompasses a measurement range from 0.01 to 700 mg/m3 and enables continuous measurements like, for example, plotting characteristics- also for a constant operating status of the motor. High measurement accuracy secures high measurement security. The measurement values are informative, and can be easily reproduced providing safe quantification of emission qualities of combustion motors. The unit weighs about three kilograms, has the size of a shoe carton, and is easy to operate making it a reliable partner in the workshop everyday usage.

4-year old left alone on bus
Updated: November 30, 2012
The boy was on the bus alone for about an hour. His foster mother and school officials agree it was a mistake that never should have happened.
Two days out of the week, Westerley McClellan takes her nephew to preschool. The other three, little Darrion takes the bus. But, now she's questioning that routine.
"I know he has to go, but it just makes me feel nervous of what the outcome of the day is going to be."
Wednesday, she says she got a call from the principal at the Pre-K Center.
"They were letting me know that my nephew had been left on the bus for a whole hour."
The driver had dropped all the kids off, then returned to the lot on Hagan. He didn't notice Darrion asleep near the front of the bus. It wasn't until he returned to make another run that anyone noticed Darrion was there.
"I was shocked and scared. She did reassure me he was safe, however, I didn't understand how that could happen."
Superintendent Dr. Judy Wiegand says, "The first thing we watch is the video that's on our buses. That's certainly the first step. Then, we talk to the driver and bus monitor."
By law, all bus drivers and monitors are supposed to walk the whole bus twice checking each seat. Until the district watches that video, no one will be sure if the bus was checked or not.
But, McClellan says, either way, she wants the investigation to end with consequences.
"It's ludicrous. I don't understand. I think these people need to be let go. To be in charge of people's children, you need to be extra careful."
Dr. Wiegand says the district has launched a full investigation. It will take a few days to complete. She says, after this incident, all drivers may have to go back through additional training.

We are a charity supporting community organisations that give free advice to members of the public.
We are the membership network for organisations who give advice, and we can help put you in touch with the right one to help you.
AdviceUK wins IMA Best New Initiative award
AdviceUK's Sustainable Debt Advice Project (SDAP) won the Best New Initiative Award at the Institute of Money Advisers (IMA) Annual Conference in Manchester on 20 May.
The IMA Best New Initiative Award celebrates initiatives that have improved the service to clients and have resulted in higher levels of performance and client satisfaction.
SDAP is designed to improve long term funding for free-to-client debt advice agencies and to offer simpler repayment options for clients. It builds on the 'Fair Share' creditor contribution model by making it available to clients who are only able to make low or token offers to their creditors, enabling them to make a single monthly payment to multiple creditors. It provides a payment disbursement system that includes payments to priority creditors as well as consumer credit debts.
The IMA Performance awards were a great success for AdviceUK and our members. As well as AdviceUK winning the Best New Initiative award, Bristol Debt Advice Centre won the Debt Team of the Year award and Sorcha Kennedy (from Money Saviour CIC) won the Money Adviser of the Year award. Payplan (an SDAP partner organisation) won the Best Partnership award.

Helping you understand the new Personal Independence Payment
In 2013 the government will introduce the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), a brand new disability benefit for disabled people aged 16-64. Affecting millions of disabled adults across the UK, PIP will be replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in the most radical change to disability benefits for many years. This learning event will give you up-to-date and practical information: helping you to help your clients and service users. Click here for more details.
OISC assessment for immigration advisers
AdviceUK pushes for regional provision of assessment centres
The OISC recently announced plans to test the competence of prospective immigration advisers at assessment centres, rather than through online testing, as has previously been the case. Under the new arrangements, applicants would be invited to an assessment centre to take the competence test. We have contacted the OISC to remind them of the need to provide assessment centres that are easily accessible to organisations based outside London, particularly smaller charities and voluntary groups. The OISC has now confirmed that the implementation date has been put back until June at the earliest, so that they can ensure everything needed is in place. Please click here for further information.
Community Rights Grant Programme
The Community Right to Challenge Grant Programme managed on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government by The Social Investment Business in partnership with Locality with support from ACEVO, is now open for applications. The Fund is looking to invest £10.5 million in community groups in England to help them take over local services they can run more effectively.
Discounted Telecoms
Advice UK has teamed up with The Phone Co-op to offer you a great deal on your line rental, calls and broadband.
For many of our members, telecoms services represent a significant proportion of their outgoings. We can provide you with discounted services from an organisation that shares your values.

What the hell????? I'm not sure what the most stunning element of this story is. Is it that she did this at all? That her husband knew about it and stayed with her? That she told total strangers who she really was? That she doesn't seem to understand why people are as shocked as they are?
Parting bewildered question: how does someone of her background even know HOW to get into this?

Why Some Folks Oppose Cracking Down on Internet Piracy
Still a bit stumped about what motivated web sites like Wikipedia and Flickr to go dark this past Wednesday? Not quite sure why so many people are up in arms over the proposed anti-internet piracy law, also known as SOPA?

Nana, thanks. I almost wanted to keep it. Lol. Red being my favorite color and never having done a mariners compass. Instead I signed up for a class and sent the top on to you. ;-)
zsofia, pm me the tracking number. I've been thinking about it since you sent me the pic. My mom is sending me one of her books (went in the mail today) because I've never done anything with vintage 1930s quilts. Hopefully the book and the top will arrive at the same time.

It has been six years now since yellow taxi fares saw a significant increase, and during those six years, drivers have been hit with soaring gas prices and new credit card processing fees.
Do you support a taxi fare increase? How will this affect the way you get around town? After six years, do drivers deserve a boost in income? Join the conversation on "The Call" at 9 p.m. with NY1's John Schiumo, or email your thoughts.
The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission is looking to boost drivers' income with a proposed rate increase that would see the cost of the average ride go up 17 percent.
While the base charge would remain $2.50, the unit charge, or each tick of the meter, would increase from 40 to 50 cents.
The flat fare between Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport would go from $45 to $52 dollars.
Six cents from each trip would go to drivers' health care.
"We're really happy to see these rules finally being proposed," said Bhairavi Desai of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance
But while individual drivers and their advocates who packed Monday's public hearing generally applauded the plan, large fleet owners said they are the losers.
Under the proposal, they can now charge drivers $9 more per shift to lease a taxi, but they say that is offset by the fact they are now responsible for those credit card fees.
"It is time that there is a rent-a-rate of fare increase, but that rate of fare increase should be equitable. It should be across the board," said Ethan Gerber of the Greater New York Taxi Association.
"Drivers deserve an increase, okay. But without the garages, without the mechanics, without the dispatchers, without the medallion owners, without the operators, there is no taxi industry," said Michael Woloz of the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission is expected to vote on the rate increase on Thursday. If approved, it would likely take effect sometime in September.

'Weigh In' on The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
The organization is seeking input through an online survey.
The three open houses that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District hosted in February and March are past, but residents can still share their thoughts on clean water online. The organization has created a survey website—www.WeighInOnCleanWater.com—that allows people to share their biggest concerns, say whether the district is headed in the right direction and let officials know where they get their information. The survey will help guide the district's future—and it only takes a few minutes.

Most drivers try to do everything they can to protect themselves and their vehicle – with breakdown assistance, warranties and GAP insurance all helping with peace of mind.
Another way drivers are able to ensure they are being safe behind the wheel is "Black Box" technology. This is currently used as an alternative to standard car insurance and can benefit drivers by rewarding them with cheaper insurance for safe driving. With brand new cars all being built with on-board diagnostic computers, this in depth information about the car and the way it is being driven can be utilised in various ways. A new breed of software apps are going to enable drivers to access this information more directly.
The RAC will soon be offering Advance, a technology which monitors information on the vehicle's speed, fuel, efficiency, lights, braking, airbags and more – and provides feedback to the driver. It also connects directly to the internet, relaying important information on to their breakdown technicians to allow for mechanical diagnoses to be completed in advance of a technician actually attending the scene.
They even suggest that if you've left your lights on , this would raise an alert on their system allowing them to send you a text or email to let you know
An American alternative, Automatic, offers the same information – but this time delivered straight to a dedicated Smartphone App. They can also give drivers a score out of 100 for fuel efficiency, an ever increasing cost concerning drivers today with the RAC suggesting drivers could save up to £620 per year on fuel costs as a result of the information the Advance system provides.
Both versions also have an "emergency call" facility which, if sudden braking and airbag deployment are detected, will result in the emergency services being contacted automatically by the car's computer .
Whilst neither is currently available to private drivers in the UK, this technology is available now but at a premium and generally only to company fleet vehicles. The Association of British Insurers has predicted that 60% of vehicles in the UK will be directly connected to the internet by 2017, with this type of technology heading towards becoming the norm.
The RAC and Automatic founders aim to improve on that which is already offered by reducing the cost and simplifying the technology with a sim-card like device simple enough for drivers to install themselves.
Let us know what you think about this innovative new technology for drivers – would you be interested in having your car constantly monitored? Tell us via Facebook, Twitter or by emailing us at email@example.com

We have upgraded our JDk to 7.0, spring security to 3.1.1 and upgraded kerberos extensions to 1.0.0.M2.
We first had to patch M2 extensions for the Base64 encoder.
Now after tons of debugging we figured out it was not using the keytab at all, since java 7 has new code logic when the isInitator flag is set to false, it does not read any of the stuff we have configured for KerberosAuthenticationProvider.
That had to be changed in the LoginConfig class of SunJaasTicketValidator class, so now we pass in the flag as true.
Inspite of that the service principal name is NOT found in the keytab. Can anyone please help us out in this regard, we have pretty much tried all type of things to make it work.
At this point it seem the spengo extension seems useless with respect to jdk 7.0.

Sceptics examine whether there is sufficient evidence to accept that a claim occurred for reasons other than by chance. Sceptics therefore never reject claims - they simply say that there is insufficient evidence to say that the event didn't happen just by chance.
1. It horrifies me when experts like Julian last night talk about Sceptics rejecting claims.
2. It freaks me out that many of the people at Sceptics in the Pub also seem to think that scepticism is about rejecting claims. And that therefore, many are not sceptics in the sense that they do not understand scientific method.
Why are they there? I'm not sure. Because it provides a legitimate platform to slag off people with beliefs different to their own? Because it's a social group?
I think we need two sceptical groups:
1. One for those who understand the principles of skeptical inquiry and scientific method and don't want to hear the same old tired discussions over and over again or try to educate attendees (and speakers) about basic research principles.
2. A second one (the existing group?) for those who don't really care about the mechanics of scepticism, but like to hear speakers that sound reasonably credible and who like them don't believe in homeopathy or astrology.
Or perhaps we need an educational programme? Members need to demonstrate that they know what skepticism is about before they come to meetings? Seems a bit draconian that one - but man, there's a lack of education going on here.
Or else the group must stop calling itself Sceptics because it simply is not.
Anyone agree? Disagree? Care?

I have a strong suspicion that we may be getting Don Quixote next year -- huge popular fave of the Kennedy Center, which was last performed by the Bolshoi in the 2006/07 season...and it usually makes an appearance every other year on this stage...and we have yet to see the Kirov version in DC, after all of these years of annual tours.
Also, the Kennedy Center is getting its first complete Raymonda in 20-odd years next month, when the New National Theater Ballet of Tokyo presents what is, in essence, the Kirov-Mariinsky/Petipa-K. Sergeyev version, with a few little changes. I doubt that the Kennedy Center would program two Raymondas , in same K. Sergeyev version, on consecutive years. But we can dream & hope.
If not Raymonda, then how about Flora's Awakening as part of a triple bill (which would alternate with a full-evening ballet)? This would, in part, make-up for Flora having been promised, then yanked from, the upcoming New York/City Center tour.
I'd like to see Don Q. as I missed the Bolshoi last year. (Sniff-Osipenko). Please no Somova as Kitri...I'd like to see Obraztsova. She's so cute and adorable, I'm sure she'd be a lovely spanish coquette. Flora would also be a nice change from the norm.

Military-Focused Charity Seeks to Overturn Disney Segway Ban
and Transform Civil Rights Class Action Law
Washington, D.C.—In a case which seeks to transform all class action cases, a disability rights organization has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a national settlement which permanently prohibits personal Segway use at all Walt Disney Company parks and hotels and blocks any future law suits. The petition claims the parties to the settlement kept secret a national waiver of all state and local legal rights by all Segway users denying them notice and due process.
Disability Rights Advocates for Technology (DRAFT), a charitable organization which sponsors the Segs4Vets program and received the Spirit of Hope Award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn an 11th Circuit Court ruling affirming a settlement reached by the original plaintiffs and the Disney company. That settlement made permanent Disney's Segway ban on all its U.S. properties, even by disabled people who rely upon the Segway as a primary assistive device. The settlement also prohibits anyone from bringing suit against the Disney Company on the issue in the future.
The U.S. Justice Department, Attorneys General from 23 states, a number of disability organizations and more than 100 individuals, agreed with DRAFT and objected to the settlement at a fairness hearing conducted at the federal court in Orlando, Fla. in 2009.
The court record shows that one of the original plaintiff lawyers felt coerced into the final Disney-proposal on the eve of the deadline, complaining Disney put forward a ``take it or leave it'' deal … ``with a gun to our heads.''
According to David Ferleger, DRAFT's attorney, the case holds major implications for all class action lawsuits.
"If the Supreme Court hears our case, class action lawsuits will be transformed,'' said Ferleger, a Philadelphia attorney and longtime civil rights litigator before the Supreme Court and other federal courts.`` Right now, someone who receives a $25 gift certificate in a broken toy class action settlement has a right to notice and to object to the dollar amount. However, a class member in a case involving a multi-million dollar injunction to change a state's or a company's policies has no right to notice of a settlement. That's wrong and we seek to change those rules.''.......More

Are there any places (eg. cafe, sports bar, restaurant) in Potsdam which will be showing this event? We are visiting Potsdam this weekend and would love to get a glimpse of this year's final but the accommodation we'll be staying at doesn't have a TV... Any advice would be much appreciated!
I would like an opinion about the track for 10 days
Landing in Berlin
2 nights in Lubbenau / Spreewald
2 nights in Radebeul
2 nights Beroun-Czech Republic
2 nights Ansfelden-Austris
2 Nights Brand-Laaben not far from the airport in Vienna
Whether in terms of interesting places (landscapes, small towns, castles) track
Appropriate or should make changes in accommodation.
Trip is in September
Thank you very much
I will be in Dresden for two days in early June and want to buy some small lace items. Can anyone recommend me a good place to buy, preferably in the Altstadt where we will be staying or easy walking distance across the river in the Innere Neustadt?

Thank you
How do I TRAVEL TORheinbischofsheim FROM FRANKFURT?
Just returned from Germany, and would like to say how very helpful German rail ticket office workers are. The first sold me a regional day ticket from Schwerin to Szczecin Poland saving loads. The second i needed to use 3 trains from Luneburg to Brussells, he suggested i bought a Bahn card saving 25%. Now my question is , the date on the bahn card is June , do this mean i can use again ?
I am looking for a grocery store in the town. I am staying at an apartment on Jakobsberg and Storchsgasse. Is there anything close?
This is the plan for the end of October this year. Is there any "must do" or "off the beaten path" things to do along the way? We will return to Frankfurt from Prague and we will have two weeks. Part of the reason we are in Frankfurt is to visit my boyfriend's family. Thank you, in advance, for you input!
I will be vacationing in Heidelberg just for 3 days. Would taking a bus from the city to Baden Baden be the most economical versus a train and how long a trip? I dont' seem to be able to find any information on buses that travel there. Appreciate any information you might have.
Our family of 6 will be arriving at the Warnemunde cruise terminal and would live to visit Schwerin Castle. Can we get there by public transport? The cruise ship excursions are very expensive for 6. Thanks...
Looking for any English speaking people to camp with at Wacken. I am travelling by myself and this will be my second time to Wacken so I know my way around. I am a friendly 26 year old Australian Male.
I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if there is any free on street parking near "Johannisallee" as we are planning to visit a friend in that area. I just want to be prepared for our visit as it is our 1st time in the city with a car. I also don't mind a bit of walk if necessary.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Do trains run on Boxing day (26th Dec) from Wittenberg to Berlin?
Is it enough time for transfer at 0640 hrs to Copenhagen while I just arrive from Munich International airport at 0545hrs?Is easy to find the security check? If I miss it , what can I do.....?
Where is the best place to buy large size Bath Towels?
Hi Im thinking of going to a concert at, Amphitheater in hanau whilst in frankfurt in August would anyone know how much a taxi back would be
Can anyone recommend any pensions/ B & Bs reasonably close to the centre of Baden- Baden. Alternatively other accommodation up to say €75/night that is of a good standard that you have stayed in.
We will be in Munich between Christmas and New Year's. Our rented apartment is near the corner of Prinzregentenstrasse and Ismaninger Strasse. Can anyone recommend places near there for food, particularly breakfasts and dinners? I'd like to go with a few close-by recommendations for any days we need something closer to "home." Also, is there a grocery/store market nearby where we might be able to pick up a few things to keep in the apartment for snacking or simple breakfasts? Thanks in advance! ~Erin
Can somebody explain how I can get from Munich to Memmingen airport? I found the last train from Munich at 11PM and it arrives to Memmingen train station at about 1AM. But nobody seem to know how to get to the airport from the train station at night.
Is there a bus from Munich to Memmingen airport? How far is the train station from the airport?
Thank you for help!
Hi I have 7 hr layover in Munich.I will be travelling with 2 kids.I know there is lot to keep kids busy at the airport.But I was thinking of going to the city Center for 1 hr, show the kids around and back to the airport.
Is 7 hrs enough to time or I should drop that idea and stay at airport.Thanks in advance.
I will stay in Munich just for one and a half day in first week of July.
Would you recommend me a accommodation which is convenient in transportation and clean?
My budget is below 80 Euro per a night.

Frayn s Alarms Opens at Gielgud, 14 SeptDate: 29 July 1998The Gielgud Theatre has been confirmed as the venue for the West End transfer of Michael Frayn's new play Alarms and Excursions. As scheduled, the play will open 14 September 1998 (with previews from 10 September). Once Alarms and Excursions arrives, Frayn, whose Copenhagen has been playing at the Royal National Theatre since May, will have two major productions on the London stage. The new production covers much different ground from the dramatic Copenhagen which focuses on the 1941 meeting between German physicist Werner Heisenberg and his old friend Niels Bohr. Alarms and Excursions is a comic collection of eight short pieces which take a wry look at our uneasy relationship with modern day gadgets and gizmos that are supposed to make our lives easier. Alarms and Excursions , directed by Michael Blakemore, boasts an illustrious cast which includes Felicity Kendal, Josie Lawrence and Nicky Henson. Felicity Kendal, best known for TV's The Good Life, has also had a long stage career. Recent work includes the Peter Hall season at the Old Vic where she appeared in Waste and The Seagull. She also stars in the forthcoming film Parting Shots and her autobiography White Cargo is published by Penguin in September. Josie Lawrence, who is renowned for her appearances in the improvisational TV series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, has won several major stage awards for her Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing (Manchester Royal Exchange) and Kate in Taming of the Shrew (RSC). Nicky Henson has played numerous roles at the RSC and RNT and recently starred in the musical Enter the Guardsman at the Donmar Warehouse. He also appeared in Peter Hall's An Ideal Husband at the Old Vic and on Broadway. He is best known to television audiences in The Preston Front and Shine on Harvey Moon. The cast also features Robert Bathurst whose most recent stage work was as a serial killer in Good Copy at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Director Blakemore has had a long association with Michael Frayn. He recently directed Copenhagen; previous collaborations include Frayn's Benefactors and Noises Off in both the West End and on Broadway. Frayn is a columnist, translator, novelist and playwright. His stage plays include Alphabetical Order, Make and Break and Noises Off, all of which received Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy of the Year and Benefactors which received the Evening Standard Award for Best Play of the Year. His translated work includes The Cherry Orchard and Wild Honey for the National, Three Sisters, The Seagull and Uncle Vanya. He has published eight novels, a volume of philosophy and wrote the screenplays for Clockwise, starring John Cleese, and First and Last which won an international Emmy Award. Designs for Alarms and Excursions are by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Paul Pyant and sound by John Leonard. It is produced by Michael Codron and Lee Dean. Alarms and Excursions kicked off a four-stop UK tour on 15 July, visiting Guildford, Newcastle, Bath and Malvern before arriving in London. Alan Ayckbourn's hit comedy Things We Do For Love, which is currently playing at the Gielgud, transfers to the Duchess Theatre on 26 August. Related Content |

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi was unable to master Ducati's fearsome Desmosedici machine because the bike behaved in a way that was totally alien to the riding style the nine-times world champion honed for almost two decades MotoGP paddock. That's the view of new Ducati boss Bernhard Gobmeier, who has been charged with spearheading Ducati's recovery after the Bologna factory endured a miserable lack...

you change the ground.As you well know your original comparison was fastest race lap times, which you have varied to race finishing times to warm up times etc as you looked things up along the way to suit your purpose. I do this for fun, and work from memory rather than looking things up first, but will sometimes look things up after I have formed my argument and posted to check minor matters of fact or when I get into disputes such as this.Just to be clear my understanding is that stoner had by far the fastest race lap time of all 3 years on a ducati in 2010 but crashed , had a slightly faster fastest lap but a slightly slower finishing time in 2009 compared with rossi on a yamaha in 2010, and yes rossi's fastest lap and finishing time in 2011 were quite creditable in comparison with his yamaha times in 2010. However your purpose seems to be to discredit stoner, semi-seriously or not, where I don't really seek to discredit rossi. If you look up all the times the thing that most impressed me was how much closer rossi's fastest race lap time in 2009 was to stoner's fastest race lap then in comparison to warm-up times etc, a sign of what a racer he was/is, particularly on the yamaha then and in 2010 before his injuries, and on one of stoner's fastest tracks as you say on a bike which by my own argument was fairly good for him that year when he wasn't crook. Sure starting further down the grid affects total race time , and taking more risks to get a better qualifying time helps it, you pays your money and you takes your choice as the americans say. There is a possibility that being in a secure lead could either improve your total race time due to there being no interference from other riders, or retard it due to there being no need to push. Perhaps fastest race lap is actually the least likely to be affected by starting down the field.We agree that ducati were a shambles by 2011 (I would say by 2010 myself) and that even valentino couldn't have success in a 2 year period on a bike which required a total re-design as I predicted would be necessary on another forum before he started there. Btw, I came up with the schadenfreude thing on that forum early in 2010, but did not persist in feeling it myself once it became apparent many were wrong about stoner being remiss in not being able to fix the thing, and that in fact no-one could. I actually would genuinely be happy for valentino to win the championship this year, admittedly partly because I am not all jokes aside entirely keen on total spanish domination particularly if marquez is the agent, and partly because he is imo the greater rider. if he does do so and matches ago it will be in perhaps rather similar circumstances and possibly his greatest championship as ago's 8th was for him imo. Still think what stoner did on a ducati, a marque closer to cagiva than honda and yamaha imo, was remarkable, even in 2007 though.

Lap times improved across the board at Losail between 2009 and 2011 for riders on the same bike (do you think maybe the tyres made a differnce?). Lorenzo was about 1.5s a lap faster, Dovizioso 2.1s faster, Hayden 2.5s faster. But no doubt there are extenuating circumstances for all of these, and the only valid comparison is between Stoner and Rossi's times, discarding the first lap of course.

No mate..as I said, the argument is NOT to denigrate Casey per se, but to illustrate Rossi was fast - admittedly maybe not quite AS fast - at the start of his tenure before all the changes, which apparently started as soon as he crossed the line in Qatar 2011.
It's directed at the fanboys who are like lazy sheep, following and believing what they're told and by-and-large can't form their own opinion. They're not students of GP.
The same applies to the theory that Stoner trounced team mate Hayden 2010 and Rossi squeaked home in front of him by a nose 2011 because race crashes apparently don't count.
You've been hanging around here long enough to appreciate the invective directed towards Rossi and maybe some of it has been deserved given the shit Stoner has copped in the past. But most of that shit/ banter call it what you like..has been directed at the man not the rider.
He isn't generally very popular NOT because he presented a threat on track but because of his personality. Those that say this is unfair & should have nothing to do with it, seem to forget the exposure these top guys have. It's part & parcel of the game nowadays and is a big part of the reason they earn so much money.
Like it or not..Rossi is a household name and the sport is literally richer for his involvement.
When you've been at the top for as long as him there will inevitably be some petty jealousy from both riders and fans who think he's big-headed and want to see him fail.
This is pretty normal as far as my experience goes and happens in regular life too. Human nature..seven deadly sins and all that.
But..I'm a fan and it would be rude not to point out some errors in judgement, especially when they're coming from a cock like Stoner and his grumpy fucko fans.

he was seventh in the race 16 seconds down on Stoner. One of his best Ducati performance in terms of distance from the front. Perhaps he should've stayed on the Pramac eh and saved Ducati a skip full of wasted bits.
By the sandal wearer of Galilee you're a tragic figure.
Yes, I acknowledge stoner crashed at qatar 2010 and rossi didn't at qatar 2011. I don't really see what your argument is otherwise. I have taken little or no issue with criticism of stoner's character, other than to sometimes point out that his perceived sins are not unique. You and anyone else are obviously free to dislike him as you wish, what I take issue with and argue against is the continual attribution of his achievements to bike advantages on evidence which is flimsy imo if not in yours and when such bike advantages are not looked for in relation to others, these things perhaps being rather formative in his attitudes in any case. It is very late here, too late to get into further logical fallacies, but you hating him or even a majority of fans of other riders hating him doesn't necessarily translate into people who actually know him hating him, including other riders.
If you are gonna start spouting stats..at least do us the courtesy of quoting them correctly ffs.
There is nothing..and I mean NOTHING worse than a fanboy who makes his own results up to try and look smart.
Lorenzo: 1.209 - Dovi: 0.596 - Hayden..1.673
2009 was Haydens debut and we know what a torrid time he had to start..he was 2.4 behind Stoner 2009 but only 0.6 in 2010.
Casey Stoner on tyres: August 2011.
SR: Has the Bridgestone tire allotment change (the FIM increased the number of front and rear tires available to each rider during a weekend) made a difference?
Stoner: No, honestly, I think since 2008 which is the last year before the single tire regulation, in my opinion they've gotten worse in quality. We've had base rubber and different things with the tires, we've struggled a lot more with them since then and year by year, maybe the speed and things are there but to get them warmed up, conditions need to be perfect. We haven't really broken many lap records this year and the year before. You know there's been advancements but as a modern tire I think they've gone backwards and made things a lot more difficult for us, and in a lot of instances, a lot more unsafe.
You'd think someone with such a strong grasp of the stats would have noticed that. And notice Stoner is talking about the difficulty getting them warmed up, not about their speeds.
Hahaha..you spineless rentboy. Not man enough to admit you fked up are ya?
Not only are you a backward child when it comes to doing your sums, you can't read either..
Typical of the #27er plankton I've just been talking about.
And this from the king of the comedy 'statistic'. Fuggin' clown.
but maybe you didn't make it that far in arithmetic ...

Tarantino fans rejoice, for what we have here, officially, is Senor Q. T's latest ….. DJANGO UNLEASHED [actually, if you look at the pic, it's 'Django Unchained']
And while you are recovering from your heart attacks, let me run this down for you my friends, geek style. The two-word Tarantino movie title is back, and we have a deuce reference. Of course to the ever legendary spaghetti western Django of 1966 by Sergio Corbucci (click this link now if you have no idea who either of these are), and of course Sukiyaki Western Django, by the revered Takashi Miike in which Q shot a snake! Django is of course the fella with the gatling gun in his coffin… but what if QT unleashes a Django onto the screen? Fiesta…..
At this point we cannot confirm whether this has anything to do with recent rumors that this might be Quentin's "southern" or if it is a "real" spaghetti western or anything else.
