Jealous Kingston man who stabbed his love rival to death cleared of murder after jury accept he lost control
Updated 5:08pm Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News By Jon Sharman, Senior reporter
Colin Bolton bled to death after being stabbed by Andy Nichols on the Kingsnympton estate in June 2013
A man who stabbed his girlfriend's lover to death has been found not guilty of murder after the jury heard he "lost control".
Andrew Nichols, 45, knifed electrical engineer Colin Bolton in the chest on the Kingsnympton estate last June.
Mr Bolton had "goaded" him about sleeping with girlfriend Michelle Dooley, the Old Bailey heard.
Paramedics pronounced Mr Bolton, 28, of Sheephouse Way, Old Malden, dead after he was carried outside the flat in Thursley House.
Nichols, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter before his trial, will be sentenced on Friday, March 14.
A jury returned its verdict on Tuesday afternoon after a day of deliberation.
Prosecutors had said Nichols, of Fordham, Excelsior Close on the Cambridge Road Estate, killed Mr Bolton intentionally in a "jealous rage".
Nichols' defence team said he had lost control of himself after repeated taunts from Mr Bolton, who barrister Lewis Power QC said was "lording it" over Nichols.
Mr Bolton had posted about his new relationship on Facebook and given Nichols, who has an IQ of 57 according to recent tests, a photo of himself and Miss Dooley kissing.
Roger Thornton, whose flat the stabbing took place, told the court last week that Nichols, an old school friend, seemed a "totally different person to what I have known" when he saw him attacking Mr Bolton, stabbing him seven times.
Nichols is an only child, whose parents split when he was very young, the court heard.
Until the stabbing he lived with his mother, having suffered a nervous breakdown in 1995 and not worked in more than a decade.
Nichols told the court he could not remember stabbing Mr Bolton, but knew later he had done something wrong.
After leaving Mr Thornton's flat he withdrew £300 and went to see his brother in Havant, Hampshire, where he was arrested on Tuesday, June 11 last year, the day after the attack.

Enough about me. Let's talk about my stuff. Page after page all we ever really read about is industry gear, but we all know that there are many other non-industry specific tools that go into getting your average production completed; this month I've been asked to rant a little bit about my stuff. Besides, with tax day just around the corner you probably need some good write-off ideas anyway.
Let's start with the obvious must-have tool of just about every production, no matter how big: computers. Laptops are strewn about a production site like No. 2 pencils these days, and given the processing power that's available to us in such small packages there's no wonder why.
I'm a recent convert to the Macintosh cult so my current laptop of choice is Apple's 17" PowerBook G4. It handles all of my standard needs such as email, spreadsheets, and word processing as well as many of my more processor-intensive tasks such as digital content creation and conceptual design rendering. On top of all that, running the VirtualPC program allows me to run many of the industry-specific programs that are only made for the Microsoft Windows OS. Tweaking WYSIWYG drawings, referencing Wholehog®PC showdisks, and even using MA Lighting's grandMA On PC software to network directly with consoles can all be done from my laptop these days, even when I'm on a Mac.
When more serious processing power is needed I turn to my desktop computer, a Power Mac G5 with an amount of RAM that I would have thought to be ridiculous just a little over a year ago. Coupled with a 23" display, this computer cuts through my larger renderings in a fraction of the time that it would take the trusty PowerBook. This aluminum monstrosity has been given a new Pelican case to keep it secure when traveling and has now become a standard piece of luggage on some of my longer trips.
Long-term stays in cities away from home are an all too common occurrence in our line of work and there are several toys I take along to make work more enjoyable. This might seem trivial, but you have no idea how vital this stuff can be on the road. I have a standard set of things that I always take with me, which include pictures of my wife, step-daughter, and dog. These are the simple things that I like to have in my hotel room to remind me of home no matter what the length of stay might be. However, on most extended stays I find that it's great to have some of the other things from home that I wouldn't normally be given at a hotel or job site.
One of my favorite pieces of kit these days is my mountain bike. Honestly, it can be really great to have a bike at your immediate disposal even if it's just to get away for a little while and clear your head. I currently use Montague's Hummer Tactical Mountain Bike. This bicycle was originally created as a Defense Advanced Research Projects (DARPA) project for US Marine paratroopers. The goal was to create a bike for rugged desert use that could be folded up like a Swiss-army knife and tied to the bottom of a parachute pack for skydiving insertions. Since I prefer to land at my destinations via tarmac these days, I've opted to accessorize my bike with its Airliner Case. The case checks in as luggage and has removable casters to aid in getting it to and from the baggage claim.
A very recent addition to my favorite long-term trip toys is Microsoft's XBox. Yes, I admit it: I've broken 30 years old, and I still play video games. According to statistics I'm a healthy, well-adjusted male, which can only mean that everyone else is just as screwed up as I am. My newfound XBox obsession has spawned from a chance encounter of playing a game titled Halo2 on XBox Live, Microsoft's online gaming community that enables players around the world to challenge each other over the Internet. More importantly, I'm able to play against some of my closest friends back home while on the road. There are few things more satisfying than screaming, "How ya like me now?" at Johnny and Frank while I blow them up from the other side of the planet.
So now you're saying, "Dierson's off on another tangent again and there's no way he could possibly use this on a production"…Wrong! This baby plays DVDs and I can review rehearsal DVDs, write out accurate cueing by reviewing SMTPE time code stamps on content, as well as preview conceptual storyboard DVDs all from the comfort of my hotel room. It's also a lot nicer to review this type of stuff on a large TV instead of the laptop screen.
Some of the most useful tools on the job are the ones that we take for granted. My cell phone is one of my indispensable pieces of equipment. I'm on a record second year in a row with the same model cell phone, the PalmOne Treo 600. This all-in-one phone and PDA combo carries my daily life's information in it. When the call for the next booking comes in I can check availability, block in the dates, and instantly access the phone numbers of crew personnel that I want to have booked on the gig, or a suggested replacement for myself if the dates are already booked. There's no racing to my backpack to find an organizer or the annoying response to a producer asking if it's possible to just call him back later. The info is instantly available. Add to that the PalmOS-based programs that can calculate beam angle, beats-per-minute, currency exchanges, global positioning, time-zone changes, and email and you've got one extremely powerful device in your back pocket.
One piece of equipment that I'm growing more dependent on every day is my digital camera. For most purposes a small digital camera works fine and choosing the right one really depends on what you intend to do with it. I tend to have higher requirements than most when it comes to digital imaging so I've been carrying Canon's EOS-1D Mark II digital SLR. With an 8.2 mega-pixel CMOS sensor and a host of standard Canon lens options, I can scale it to whatever the task at hand may be whether it's taking shots of raster image alignments or the basis of my next batch of digital content for the production.
It's amazing what we take for granted these days. When you think that less than a decade ago we weren't running around the planet with cell phones, email, or digital cameras you tend to wonder how things ever got done. Perhaps people just pedaled their folding bikes harder to get their tele-faxes delivered faster.

Startup plans CO2 converter on brewer's roof
Last Updated: 11:03 April 3, 2014
Superior Ecotech LLC's co-founders Phil Calabrese, left, and Daniel Higgs, right, confer with Upslope Brewing Co.'s founder Matt Cutter about their plans to grow algae on Upslope's rooftop in Boulder.
« Previous Image | Next Image »
The algae will "soak up" carbon dioxide emissions from the brewery and then be converted to omega-3 oils and other useful products.
"The money from the Kickstarter campaign will allow us to build a pilot-scale demonstration of our algae growing technology and really help us move forward as a business," said Daniel Higgs, one of the company's co-founders. The campaign goes live Thursday, click here.
Boulder-based Superior Ecotech was co-founded in June of last year by University of Colorado-Boulder students Higgs, Philip Calabrese, Nicole Reed-Fry and Iowa State University students Matteo del Ninno and Martin Gross.
The group will be competing for $1.3 million in prize money April 10 in Houston as part of the Rice University Business Plan Competition.
The students have spent the last few years developing an algae grower designed for use at craft breweries. The technology tackles a problem for Colorado's beer business: reducing brewery carbon-dioxide emissions in a cost-effective, sustainable way, Higgs said. Algae "soak up" waste carbon dioxide and convert it to omega-3 oils and other useful products.
Superior Ecotech's system requires clean carbon dioxide and sunny outdoor space on the ground or on a roof. Craft breweries are in a unique position to supply both of these needs, he said.
"We're building our pilot at Upslope where they have exactly what we need and are really supporting this project. This algae greenhouse will allow us to prove our business model and optimize our technology while helping them reduce carbon dioxide emissions." Higgs said.
Superior Ecotech's long-term goal is to use its algae oils to produce cost-effective biofuels that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels.
Tickets to the Kickstarter event can be purchased here.

Traditional climbing is where my roots lie but sport is an easy tick, fitting in easily around work and kids and a desire to perform rather than be scared. As the grades go up the amount of gear goes down making hard routes that can be onsighted hard to find. But I still needed the adventure, it feeling more distant with every soggy summer that passes. Pabay has been on the list for a while, "hard pumpy climbing with excellent gear on amazing rock" was the word.
. photo - Tim Glasby
of my trip but becoming the assumed one by everybody else. It was blasted to
fame in the Scottish Climbing film a while ago. I've not seen the film, which was
probably poor preparation as usual on my part, because seeing this massive
feature made me want to climb it, standing out as one of the biggest natural
challenges I've ever seen. I knew it hadn't been climbed without falls and that
the roof was the crux so I abbed down to the lip figuring if Lynn Hill and
Cubby couldn't do it there was no chance of me onsighting it. I was right, a
complex arrangement of poor holds that you'd never see from under the roof
looked to be the crux. 95 metres off the boulder field below with the waves
crashing and a freezing gale blowing the ropes all over the place and tangling
up slings and jumars and other bits of random kit I roughly memorised the
position of these holds before I got the hell out of there and kind of hoped it
went away!
I wasn't really there for any of this, I was after quality
onsighting and a thoroughly nice time. The Arch felt like a job in comparison;
it was going to be hard, long and scary! But it was already too late, I was
hooked, the only thing that could save me was a lack of partners, and Lucy
Creamer was up for it!
So we set off, already rattled by the very first move, wet
from sea spray. Not good with 6 pitches to go! Deviations around nesting birds
added difficulty and extra loose rock to the guide book description of 'the
rock on pitch 3 and 4 is very loose and unpleasant'. I'm bad on loose rock. It
took a long time to get up to the arch, swinging leads Lucy put in some big
efforts and I was pretty glad I had someone competent to hold my hand. However,
reaching the final pitch, the roof pitch, we both had the feeling that this
route was a route for the sake of it. A much better path is to the left,
staying in the corner and avoiding the roof. Solid E5, and amazing if you can
handle a little rubble. However we were at the main event. 8 hours of warm up
for one hard pitch, not your average stroll down to the local sport cliff. The
lip of the arch was a long way up, a safe haven, a target to aim for. Holds
that I'd seen despite their size gave me comfort. Even the final unprotected
wall, snappy and hard would be a breath of relief simply because I was sure I
could do it. Up to there was a mystery. I set off following my nose, as you do.
Pulling on a flake the size of a car it moved, my gear was behind it and my
ropes under it. Not good! Heart beating fast; a scuttle left. This looked like
the way. More gear a long way out and moving up now to the holds. But the holds
are falling off, bits the size of bricks coming away. I have gear behind these
bricks. I take it out. Another plan. I'm traversing a long way right now, gear
in a sugary crack. Maybe there's another way but its' too late to find. If I
fall off now I'll probably be OK. And I will fall off because there is no way
up. Totally blank. Stopped dead I wait for the inevitable, I want to fall off, but
a hold appears, sloping and small, at the max of my reach. Somehow, stupidly,
I'm pulling on it and committing to something. I'm trying as hard as I can, it
could be the crux of an 8b sport route. Then I'm facing an all out slap for
what looks like a hold. A complete deadpoint that has to be perfect but my
chances are slim. No chance to think about my position, my gear, the slab below
or anything at all in fact, with my whole world shrinking to a point resting on
an edge about a metre above me. I make it, I can't describe how close I was to
not making it. It was one of those real climbing moments that don't come along
very often, where everything comes together and it all comes good. This was the
route for us. If I'd fallen, even if I'd been OK I doubt I'd have had the balls
to try again, just getting to that move had already shattered my feeble nerves.
A 70m abseil would have been in order or rescue if it was longer. But here I
was at the back of the arch, good gear greedily thrown into solid cracks. Then
out over the roof, more flakes the size of tables creak under my weight, good
gear maybe, but not behind them! Easy climbing at least. Then at last another
solid runner and the start of the hard climbing. I can see the lip, only a span
away, a relatively easy move to the sanctuary of hard moves on bad holds,
familiar though, I'll be happy there. Then I'm rushing it, feet all over the
place, wanting this all to be over, and suddenly I'm in the air. The gear
holds. I'm cursing. No fear now, just utter disappointment. I pull up the rope,
and back onto the big flakes and this time straight out to the lip with ease
and through the hard lip moves and so to the top. Lucy follows with a
combination of climbing, prusiking and fear. There is no time for another go as
I'm already watching the sun set over the sea and the wind is whipping over the
arch and making me glad to be wearing performance kit.
So the Great Arch still awaits a no falls ascent. We could
have gone back to 'redpoint' the last pitch but that proves nothing to me, a
relative formality with gear sorted and fear removed. However, even if I did
fancy it, who would sacrifice their last day in paradise to belay (as the next
day was our last). And I could never have even asked. Would I go back again for
this? No chance! I don't need to. I went to Pabay in search of adventure, and
for sure that's what we got!

Third graders love reading about Lulu and her habit of adopting strays, be it a duck in a park or a cat in a bag.
The fictional seven-year-olds strong following made her latest adventure, Lulu and the Dog by the Sea, an easy pick for Elizabeth Pearson, head of childrens titles for the Miami-Dade library system.
Then came the tough decision: Which libraries wouldnt get the popular book?
You hate to disappoint a kid, said Pearson, who ordered 24 copies of Lulu for a library system with 49 branches. We have to prioritize the funding we have.
Squeezed by tax cuts, Floridas largest library system cant buy nearly the number of childrens books it used to.
Countywide, Miami-Dade libraries budgeted about $90,000 for childrens books this year, a fraction of the $1.3 million the system spent in 2005 and about 60 percent below the $210,000 budget in place just three years ago.
Library systems serving more than 1 million people typically invest about $600,000 a year on childrens books, according to a 2012 survey by Library Journal. Despite a population topping 2 million, Miami-Dades childrens budget falls much closer to the $66,000 average that the publication calculated for libraries serving communities of 100,000 people about the size of Miami Gardens.
Tight funding forces Pearson to perform literary triage each month as she places orders with publishers. The 28-year library veteran balances the promise of new titles like Lulu against the need to update reference series, keep pace with school reading lists and replace worn copies of childhood classics for new readers.
We dont like to loan out a book that tells a child it is OK to crayon on the pages, Pearson said. But we do. Because that might be the only copy of Cat in the Hat that that library has.
With the system facing a $20 million budget hole next year despite staff and service cuts, library funding promises to resurface as a top controversy for the countys elected leaders.
A task force chaired by Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez is scheduled to meet for a final time Wednesday morning, with members set to consider a draft report outlining funding options and their potential consequences on the systems $50 million budget.
The special property tax earmarked for libraries only generates about $30 million a year, and the cash reserves bridging the gap are forecast to run dry by the end of September. That leaves Gimenez to decide whether to push for the kind of property tax hike he briefly championed last summer, or follow through with the drastic library cuts he floated weeks later once he reversed course and opted to keep the tax flat.
That cost-cutting plan, staved off by temporary fixes, centered around closing 27 library branches, a little more than half of the current locations. At the last task force meeting, Gimenez also cited librarian wages as a potential cost savings, while others argued the digital age offers opportunities to serve more readers with fewer highly trained professionals.
I hate to call it Skype a Librarian, but we should be able to Skype a librarian, Deede Weithorn, a Miami Beach commissioner and task-force member, said at the Feb. 21st meeting. If you dont have the technical resource at one library, we should be able to Skype and share with another.
A recent study by library consultant Godreys Associates found Miami-Dades library system both under-used and under-funded.
Comparing the county to nine other systems serving between 1 million and 3 million residents, Godfreys listed Miami-Dade as second lowest in overall funding: $13 per person, compared to an average of $27. And while the average system recorded 9.4 uses per resident either by visiting or checking out materials Miami-Dade only saw 4.5 uses each year per resident.
Eric San Juan beats the average, bringing his twin six-year-olds to the West Kendall library almost every day. But he had to turn to Amazon.com last year to keep the boys current on their summer reading.
The school gives you a summer reading list, but when you go to check out the book, you can never find it, San Juan said this week as son Christian read a jumbo dinosaur book and Sebastian played a game on a library computer. When you order it online, its $16 a piece. And the kid will read it in one day.
Revenue shortfalls have sapped about $36 million a year from the countys libraries since 2009, leading to a string of cuts that included layoffs, cancelling Saturday homework help with Miami-Dade teachers and ending Sunday hours. With cash reserves set to run dry in October, the library system faces a $20 million budget gap next year.
In public remarks, Gimenez pointed to a larger $200 million county budget hole and warned that Miami-Dades library system must reinvent itself while also hewing to its core mission. Libraries can be a great place where we can invest in our children and in our future, he said. That really excites me.
Gimenez presided over one of the two tax cuts driving the current spending crunch at the libraries.
The former county commissioner came to office in 2011 promising to roll back the tax increases imposed under then-mayor Carlos Alvarez. But even Alvarezs wildly unpopular 9 percent countywide hike in 2010 included a 26 percent drop in the special property tax that funds libraries.
Gimenez followed up in 2011 with a 37 percent cut in the library tax in his first budget. The tax, now $17.25 for every $100,000 of assessed value, gets charged to most property owners, except those in cities with their own library systems, including Hialeah, Miami Shores, North Miami and North Miami Beach, and the three coastal jurisdictions of Bal Harbor, Bay Harbor Island, and Surfside.
In 2008, the library rate stood at $38.22 for every $100,000 of value.
Though declining property values compounded the revenue loss in 2010 and 2011, the 2010 library tax cut now accounts for all of the current gap between the library taxs $31 million revenue for 2013 and its $50 million budget. If the 2010 rate of $28.40 per $100,000 were still in effect, the tax would generate $51 million.
It all comes down to what is the tolerance for paying taxes in this community, said Raymond Santiago, Miami-Dades library director and a member of Gimenezs task force.
In some ways, Pearsons tough choice on Lulu and the Dog by the Sea offers fodder for both sides of the funding debate.
She only bought the 2013 edition for 24 branches, just shy of the 27 locations that would have survived in Gimenezs original 2013 cost-cutting plan.
A library employee since the 1980s, Pearson eventually was promoted to the top pay scale for librarians and earned about $93,000 last year in total compensation, according to county records. Thats well above Miami-Dades average librarian wage of $63,000 for 2013, with Pearson earning the18th highest salary in the systems 485-person online payroll report.
Advocates argue Miami-Dade shouldnt be complaining that experienced librarians are earning a professional wage while performing key functions in the community, particularly when helping children to master reading.
For young readers, librarians are the ones that open up new horizons for them and make them curious, said Patricia Martinez-Gormley, a lawyer wop helped found Community Advocates for Libraries in Miami and whose husband works in the librarys purchasing department. You need librarians to guide these young readers, because its an incredibly significant age in their literary development.
While spending cuts have brought the librarys overall books, subscriptions and materials budget down 80 percent in four years to $1.2 million, Pearson sees unique challenges for the childrens section.
Children often wont recognize out-of-date material in a reference work, such as no mention of the 2010 earthquake in a book on Haiti. We had a whole bunch of books saying Pluto was a planet, she said. Replacing them was not cheap. Miami-Dade schools typically instruct parents to read children at least one book a night, and its not uncommon for adults to check out 50 early-reading titles a week, Pearson said.
With the rise of serialized fiction thanks to Harry Potter, many children come to the library not just looking for a good book but a specific title from popular series like Dork Diaries, 39 Clues or The Olympians. Often, the system cant meet demand for the sequels.
The librarys online catalog shows 153 requests for the systems 15 copies of Allegiant, the last installment from a science-fiction series popular with high-schoolers.
American Girl, maker of a popular line of dolls, recruits respectable childrens authors to pen books starring their latest characters, but Pearson stopped buying the series to save money.
Girls come in and ask for the dolls name. They see them on the website, Pearson said. We lead them back to the old ones. Which most of them have already read.
While adults generally dont mind getting on a librarys wait-list for the latest best-seller, children tend to give up their hunt on the spot.
When you a tell a kid the book isnt there, Pearson said, that tends to be it.

Is a genius simply a highly intelligent person or does each person have their own kind of genius? On this inspiring recording Michael Meade answers emphatically that each person brings some form of genius to life with them. With characteristic wit Meade manages to weave threads of Eastern spiritual practice with Western mysticism by connecting the thread of genius to the practice of "dharma" or service to something beyond oneself. As the divine seed in the soul, genius holds the key that opens the path to spiritual fulfillment as well as community service.

SOURCE Anghami
BEIRUT, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Anghami, the leading mobile music application in the Middle East and North Africa region with over 5 million downloads, announced a partnership with Huawei, a major global information and communications technology solutions provider, to enable Anghami users to easily activate ringback tones (RBT) with a single click while streaming music. Both teams will be integrating the Huawei RBT API in Anghami's app and working on bridging Anghami's telecom partners VAS services.
RBT allows mobile phone owners to replace the standard call-waiting tone with their favorite song, thereby allowing them to express themselves through their favourite song. Adding RBT as a feature in Anghami will emphasize Anghami's mission to make music a more social experience and add to the user's choices of sharing with their friends privately or on social networks.
RBT is a major VAS revenue generator for telecom operators and music labels in MENA.

Discover the wonders and hidden history of Southern Bohemia and Moravia on this eleven-day tour through the Czech Republic. We pedal past Riesling and Chardonnay vineyards, through forbidden forests along the Austrian/Czech border and into late Renaissance towns unchanged since the 17th century. You'll bicycle through one of the most popular bicycle destinations in Central Europe as we explore the "greenways" and rural roads of this fascinating region. Though our cycling ends in Česky Krumlov we'll include a shuttle to Prague.
***If this sounds great but you'd like a shorter tour, check out our Cycling the Czech Republic tour, which features the first 7 days of this itinerary.***
Day 1: Shuttle from Vienna to Mikulov, in Moravia, Czech Republic
Highlights: Fit bicycles, test ride through Riesling vineyardsWe'll meet at noon in Vienna today and shuttle to our starting town of Mikulov, historically one of the most important frontier towns in Southern Moravia. Its central castle has helped guard the border with Austria since the 13th century. We'll fit bicycles and encourage a short test ride into the surrounding vineyard clad hills -- this region is famous for its different Riesling varieties as well as other white wine grapes such as Ruland White and Chardonnay. A welcome drink will start off our evening before dinner together.
Lodging: Hotel Templ
Day 2: Pedal the vine-clad hills of Moravia to Valtice and Lednice
Highlights: UNESCO world heritage sites of Valtice and Lednice, the 17th century manor and gardens of Lednice, Baroque castle of ValticeWe take a loop ride today through vineyards into the wine growing region to the north and east to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Valtice and Lednice, each home to impressive manors (or castles, depending on your point of view!) Both residences were created by the Dukes of Liechtenstein, Valtice as the seat of their power, Lednice as their summer residence. After a guided tour of the Lednice palace, enjoy a tasting of local wines before dinner on your own tonight. Distance: Approximately 45 km (28 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Vivaldi
Day 3: Ride from Mikulov to Znojmo
Highlights: Rolling hills and vineyards, medieval ZnojmoWe pedal to Znojmo today, through the gently rolling hills of Moravia. You'll be impressed by the "bike culture" they've created in this area - cyclists come from all over Central Europe to pedal the vineyards and see the historic sites. After settling into our centrally located hotel, enjoy a leisurely stroll through town, which the impressive Gothic Town Hall Tower and Church of Saint Nicholas dominate. Dinner is together tonight. Distance: Approximately 55 km (34 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Lahofer
Day 4: Pedal to Vranov nad Dyji
Highlights: 17th Century castle of Vranov, Iron CurtainWe'll enjoy a guided walk of Znojmo this morning before we pedal on to Vranov on the Dyji River. We suggest visiting the Castle in Vranov (considered by some as the best castle visit of the entire tour!) before checking into our hotel as the castle closes at 5 pm. The present castle dates to the 17th century but is located on a site that has housed castles since 1200. We'll suggest an optional, short ride today to visit a part of the Iron Curtain that has been preserved for posterity. Dinner is together tonight. Daily Mileage: 32-38 km (20-24 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Zamecky
Day 5: Bicycle Vranov nad Dyji to Telč
Highlights: Renaissance Slavonice, town of TelčOur ride today takes us out of the lowland vineyards of southern Moravia and away from the Austrian borderlands. We cross the wheat fields and forests of the Bohemian-Moravian highlands, an ancient plateau incised by rivers creating excellent sites for fortified towns and villages. Telč (say "telch") is one of the best preserved of these fortress towns. Heavily influenced by architectural styles from Italy, the late 16th century town square is a wonder of town planning with multi-colored building facades. We spend two nights in Telč. Dinner is on your own tonight. Distance: 77 km (48 miles).
Lodging: Hotel U Hrabenky
Day 6: Loop ride from Telč or rest day
Highlights: Renaissance Telč (UNESCO World Heritage Site)and Medieval TrestThere are plenty of things to see and do in Telč today but we've planned on a loop ride to the north through beautiful areas of forest for those who need a little exercise. The highlands get higher here. Otherwise, you can enjoy lounging in the sidewalk cafes on the square of this perfect gem of 16th century town planning. This afternoon we'll have a fascinating guided tour of the town and its castle. Dinner is together. Distance: 40 km (25 miles; actually, you can make this ride as long as you'd like!)
Lodging: Hotel U Hrabenky
Day 7: Cycle onto the greenways near Austria
Highlights: The greenways of Bohemia, rural Czech Republic, Jindřichův HradecOur route today takes us through forest and field and past a myriad of small towns and villages, each with its own "carp pond." The raising of carp in artificial ponds dates to medieval "fast days" when the monks needed fish on Fridays. But in the 15th and 16th centuries these ponds flourished with every town constructing one for purposes of self-sufficiency. Today Bohemia sports something over seven thousand of these ponds and supports a significant recreational and commercial freshwater fishery. We'll be in Jindřichův Hradec tonight, a delightful market center dating to the 12th century. Jindřichův Hradec sits on the banks of a large lake which is dominated by the town's two well-preserved castles. Dinner is together tonight. Distance: 41 km (26 miles)
Lodging: Penzion Pod Zámkem
Day 8: Cycle Bohemian greenways near the Austrian border and Trebon
Highlights: Central Europe's most extensive bike path system, Renaissance Trebon, brewery visit and tastingOur ride this morning is car-free AND care free, at least initially. We pedal a part of the forest lands that for two generations during the Cold War were completely off-limits to the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe. These forest paths are now part of a vast green belt in-the-making. Visionary planners in the region are creating a memorial to the Iron Curtain by developing the world's largest outdoor park that will eventually stretch from the Baltic to the Black Sea, following the historic no-man's land that separated eastern and western Europe from 1945 until the fall of the wall in 1989. We complete our ride by pedaling past man-made lakes in one of Central Europe's biggest wetland areas with some of the largest fish farms in Europe. Before a special fish dinner we'll enjoy a visit and tasting at the country's oldest brewery, founded in the 14th century. Distance: 59 km (37 miles).
Lodging: Zlata Hvezda
Day 9: Hluboka Castle and into Česke Budejovice along the Vltava River
Highlights: The 19th century Hluboka Castle and Česky Budejovice, home to the original Budweiser beerToday we leave the man-made lake district of Trebon and pedal northwest to Hluboka, the 19th Century "Windsor Castle" look-alike. Those who wish can double the length of their ride north along the Vltava River and back. Our route this afternoon takes us on a modern bike path right into the heart of Česke Budejovice. With a wide variety of late Renaissance and Baroque buildings on the central square - one of the largest in Central Europe - Česke Budejovice presents itself as a rich and proud regional center commanding as much respect in the 21st century as it did in the 17th. Dinner is on your own tonight. Distance: 42-74 km (26-46 miles).
Lodging: Grand Hotel Zvon
Day 10: Bicycle from Česke Budejovice to Česky Krumlov
Highlights: The historic and perfectly preserved 16th century town of Česky KrumlovWe complete our tour of southern Moravia and Bohemia by following the Vltava River south from Česke Budejovice to one of the most enchanting of Central European towns, Česky Krumlov. You'll find you've pedaled into the archetypal, quaint Central European village. Located on a meander of the river, Krumlov is almost completely surrounded by water. Towering above the village is a massive castle complex with a spectacular round tower. This evening we celebrate our grand tour of the historic Czech Republic with a fun medieval dinner together near the picture-perfect square and castle of Česky Krumlov. Daily Mileage: 50 km (32 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Gold
Day 11: We'll offer a shuttle today from Česky Krumlov to Prague
Highlights: Waking up in one of Central Europe's most delightful towns, Česky KrumlovIf you have the time you may want to stay an extra night just to wander the corners of this Medieval and Renaissance town. (You could travel Europe for two decades without finding another like it.) Otherwise, we offer a shuttle to Prague, arriving early afternoon, for those that wish.
HighlightsHluboka Castle, UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Valtice, Lednice, and Cesky Krumlov, Czech Greenways, Česky Budejovice, home to Budweiser beer, Renaissance towns of Mikulov, Krumlov, Telč, Slavonice, and Trebon

text: OYMPIA, Wash. - K-12 education in the state could be getting about $550M added to the budget. Republicans in the state House unveiled a proposal Thursday that includes adding about $800M to education in response to a state supreme court ruling that says the state is not adequately funding basic education. However, the plan would also suspend automatic cost-of-living increases for teachers saving some $300M in funding.

"This is a random act of kindness...Your _____ is ons me. Enjoy Your Day"!
Great idea!!
Did you surprise anyone with your kindness today?
_____ is because I have bad eyes and cannot read the caption! Feel free to fill it in for me!
Today was really special.
I took Bo to pick a name off of the giving tree at the mall; he picked the very bottom card which happened to be a 2 year old named Jesus! After reading Jesus' wish list Bo and I went to the Gap and purchased a sweater and pair of boots! We then went and found a large Tonka Truck and package of diapers for this sweet baby!
I do not know what it was...it was a very special time for Bo and I to work together as a team and help someone that is around his same age. Very-very cool.
Is Jesus a *big* kid if he is 2 and wearing size 3T, 8 shoes, and size 6 diaper?
OH! we also bought the perspon behind us at Starbucks their coffee! I wonder if we started a chain reaction???
Today was really special.
Is Jesus a *big* kid if he is 2 and wearing size 3T, 8 shoes, and size 6 diaper?
Based on size 3T I would say no, but shoes and diapers I would say yes. Sounds like he might be kinda of short and stout.
DD wears a size 8 shoe and she's almost 4!

The Carolina Panthers cruised to an easy win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. It was a definitive game in proving there aren't traps for this team, while asserting the team can play complete football in order to win. Now it's time to take a look at how the players graded out on Sunday.
Three up
Greg Olsen (+3.1)
Steve Smith was shut down until Darrelle Revis was injured, Brandon LaFell had moments but was inconsistent -- enter Greg Olsen. The Panthers tight end stepped up when the team needed him, finishing with five receptions for 85 yards. Olsen is a touch off his career high in yards in 2013, but has been an underrated difference maker every week.
Star Lotulelei (+3.0)
It's time to accept that Star wont win the DROY award, and that's okay. He deserves is, no doubt -- but he plays an unsexy position that rarely gets noticed by voters.
Against the Buccaneers he finished with three quarterback hurries and three run stops. I was a dominant day all around.
Captain Munnerlyn (+2.7)
He's caught a lot of flack in 2013, but against Tampa Bay he was extremely good. He was break-even in pass coverage (which is good for Munnerlyn) but really stood out in the run game, finishing with a +2.6 run stop rating.
Three down
Ryan Kalil (-3.0)
It was a rough day for Ryan Kalil, largely because he was tasked with doing a lot. The Buccaneers have a great interior defensive line and Kalil needed to routinely shift to help Nate Chandler or Geoff Hangartner with Gerald McCoy.
Ultimately Kalil allowed three quarterback hurries from the center position. It was a rough outing, but he'll bounce back.
Greg Hardy (-2.1)
I'd be lying if I said this two-game run hasn't worried me a touch. Hardy has largely been a non-factor without Charles Johnson across from him, and against the Buccaneers he finished fifth on the team in pass rush grade, and dead last in run stopping.
These are the games contracts are earned, and it's unclear if he warrants the huge money expected to be demanded. It's a similar situation that Johnson found himself in a few years ago, but CJ stepped up without Julius Peppers on the field and proved he could be an elite defensive end. We've get to see that from Hardy.
I'll play devil's advocate with one name: Ray Edwards. That's my fear.
Colin Cole (-1.6)
It is what it is. Colin Cole can't play football at a high level anymore, and found a way to register a -1.6 rating on 23 snaps.

Boulder Brands cleared for city incentives
Last Updated: 14:43 March 31, 2014
Boulder's city manager Jane S. Brautigam approved Boulder Brands (formerly Smart Balance Inc.), for the rebates, which is one of the city's business incentives, covering a range of fees, equipment- and construction-use taxes.
Under this program, the city manager may consider a specific incentive package for tax and fee rebates to meet a local company's specific needs. The company is then eligible for the rebate after it has made its investment and paid the taxes or fees to the city.
Boulder Brands' natural- and organic-food segments target specific health trends: the Glutino and Udi's Gluten Free brands for gluten-free diets; the Earth Balance brand for plant-based diets; the Level Life brand for diabetes-friendly diets, the Smart Balance brand for heart healthier diets, and the recently acquired EVOL brand for consumers seeking more simple and pure ingredients.
"Boulder Brands, with its wide range of brands and products, is a great addition to Boulder's natural-products industry," Brautigam said in a prepared statement "We are thrilled that Boulder Brands has relocated its headquarters and employees to downtown Boulder and is investing in the community."
In October 2013, Boulder Brands (Nasdaq: BDBD) relocated its corporate headquarters from Paramus, N.J., to the recently constructed third-floor office space at 1600 Pearl St. in Boulder.
The flexible rebate program uses social, community and environmental sustainability guidelines to evaluate eligible businesses. Companies choose the guidelines that best fit their circumstances, but must meet minimum requirements in order to receive the rebate.
Boulder Brands will participate in Eco-Cycle's Zero Waste Services program. Additionally, Boulder Brands is committed to improving its packaging and day-to-day operations to be more environmentally friendly. The company recently introduced square, space-saving packaging for its Smart Balance and Earth Balance brands. These new product designs will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with packaging, distribution and retail energy-use by 18 percent over the course of the products' life cycles, according to the company.
Boulder Brands' application is the seventh to be approved as part of the 2013 flexible rebate program. The city's approved 2013 budget included $350,000 in funding for flexible tax and fee rebates for primary employers.
For more information about the city of Boulder's business incentive programs, visit www.bouldercolorado.gov/business or call Liz Hanson, economic vitality coordinator, at 303-441-3287.

Vector images like that can be more striking than an original photo, depending on the subject and the composition. That one works in particular because of the natural sun flare behind the towers, which makes an interesting gradient through the upper right of the picture.

Planning a Visit
When: Good fishing should be available anytime, though look for more chance of rain January through March and July through August. Cooler, windier weather occurs in winter here, June through September. (All eight days we fished in October were perfectly dry.)
How to get here: Several airlines serve Noumea, though none directly from the United States. We flew to Auckland on Air New Zealand (www.airnewzealand.com), which has regular service from there into Noumea (a 2 1/2-hour flight).
What to bring: Passport - but the good news is that no visa is required generally. Both outfitters can lend some fishing gear but emphasis is on "some": Bring some good gear with you, depending on your preferred fishing style/species. We had no chance to buy any tackle so what we brought was critical. By the way: These bones seem to have been pursued so far almost exclusively with fly; it could be productive indeed if someone went after them with soft plastics such as Gulp! tails on light jig heads. A light jacket and long-sleeved shirt are warranted much of the year, especially early or late in the day when breezy.
Cost: You want cheap, fish closer to home. It'll cost you plenty to get here and a fair amount to be here. Prices in New Caledonia are decidedly not third-world; there's not much at the bargain level. On the other hand, the facilities are generally not third-world, either, and as noted, the cuisine is memorable. Plan to spend some money (and gain some weight).
Other activities: New Cally is a great vacation spot for many things, especially those water-based, and a great place for a combination family/fishing vacation, with truly world-class conditions for diving, windsurfing and kiteboarding, plus wonderful kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, deer hunting and more. Noumea has great, scenic jogging and biking paths. Its new public aquarium is modest but very nicely designed.
Who: Two major outfitters offer their services: New Caledonia Fishing Safaris (www.fishinpeace.com), with whom we fished, and Le Poisson Banane (www.lepoissonbanane.com). We stayed at Malabou Beach Hotel at Poum, way up north, and Le Surf Hotel in Noumea - both are part of the NC Grand Hotels chain (www.grands-hotels.nc). At the Isle of Pines, we stayed at the Hotel Oure (at press time, the website was not working - but the facility is marvelous). General information on New Caledonia and visiting here is available at www.visitnewcaledonia.com, which includes tourism contact information for the north island, the south island and the Loyalty Island group.
Flexibility: It's a good thing to have. In droves. Remote Pacific Island destinations for anglers can be unpredictable and squirrelly in terms of operations and logistics. Also, you may find claims of services on NC fishing operators' websites to be a bit optimistic. Things may not go quite as planned/promised, and in fact, you can probably count on that, as we found many days. That may change as fishing operators get more experience and become more professional, but for now, consider it all part of the trip and part of the charm of visiting here; if you can't do that, better bring your blood-pressure medication.
Drink up! Unlike many remote-island destinations, New Caledonia's tap water is reputedly very safe. Everyone in our group drank local water from hotel taps in the north end, on the Isle of Pines and in Noumea with absolutely no problems.
Future development: Richard Bertin, with New Caledonia Fishing Safaris, has big plans - plans that involve a mothership, a fleet of Boston Whalers and more. But for now, simply putting together a short trip to wade the flats seemed to be a major undertaking, so the realization of grand schemes may be a long time coming. That said, who knows? An efficient, properly equipped and staffed operation will take the guesswork out of fishing New Caledonia and make it a world-class destination.
