Rogerson tackles Government over fuel
The Government has confirmed that they are talking to the European Union about how they can cut the tax on petrol and diesel for rural areas like North Cornwall.
Cornish Liberal Democrat MP Dan Rogerson asked Government ministers to cut fuel duty further for rural areas like his North Cornwall constituency by extending the 5 pence per litre reduction in tax on fuel - currently in operation on the Scillies - to mainland areas.
Responding for the Government, Financial Secretary to the Treasury Greg Clark confirmed that the Coalition are talking to the European Union about how they can extend the rural fuel duty to mainland areas.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on London Irish and matches between Wasps and Irish over the years.
The try count was two apiece, but Irish were good value for their comfortable win, and Wasps can have no complaints about the result, even though they came agonisingly close to a losing bonus point.
The opening minutes all took place in the Irish half, after Riki Flutey's kick off was allowed to roll into touch. Paul Sackey twice fielded clearance kicks to launch counterattacks, before Irish were penalised for hands in the ruck on the halfway line. When they were again penalised for not retreating ten metres, Mark Van Gisbergen's kick at goal was struck well, but the ball rebounded off the right-hand post and Irish were able to clear the danger.
Play immediately went to the other end of the field, and when Wasps failed to win their own lineout, five metres from the line, Irish number 8 Chris Hala'ufia pounced on to the loose ball to dive over. Peter Hewat added the extra points to make it 7-0 with nine minutes gone.
Wasps then launched a counter-attack, after Josh Lewsey leapt high to gather an attacking kick. Sackey was sent clear down the right but after beating two defenders he lost the ball in the tackle. After an Irish attack broke down deep in Wasps territory, Eoin Reddan's long kick found touch near the Irish line but Wasps were then penalised for not releasing and the penalty took play back to just outside the Wasps 22. Wasps then stole possession from the lineout and a powerful burst by Tom Rees launched another attack, but the ball was again lost and Irish relieved the pressure.
On 15 minutes, Irish were reduced to 14 men when Hala'ufa tripped Reddan, who'd taken a quick penalty on halfway. However Van Gisbergen's penalty attempt from the ten metre line drifted to the right of the posts.
Irish stretched the Wasps defence out wide on the left after a slicing run from Hewat, before Wasps were penalised for handling the ball in the ruck. Hewat landed a simple three points, from almost in front of the posts, with twenty minutes gone.
Wasps looked likely to open their account after a penalty kick to the corner, however from the lineout the ball was taken through a series of phases, before Rees was penalised for going off his feet at the tackle and the opportunity was lost.
It was proving a frustrating half for Wasps, who despite setting up a number of promising positions let themselves down with basic errors. The worst example came within the closing ten minutes when James Haskell took a quick tap penalty just outside his 22 and then knocked on. Another handling error from Haskell, after he broke from the base of a scrum, set up an Irish attack, with winger Sailosi Tagicabikau breaking down the left, before Irish forced another scrum, five metres out. With the extra five metres of space allowed by the ELVs, a try looked on but the Wasps defence came up quickly and as Irish lost possession, Flutey's clearing hack was gathered and spun out to Topsy Ojo who came close on the right.
With three minutes of the half left, another Irish opportunity came, when Josh Lewsey failed to gather a high kick. Wasps were penalised at the resultant breakdown and Hewat judged the tricky wind well to land a fine penalty from near the left-hand touchline.
The ELVs then worked to Wasps' advantage when Irish carried the ball back into their 22, before kicking directly to touch. Wasps won the lineout and launched a series of drives, before Riki Flutey darted through a gap, however the Exiles defence caught him a few metres short of the line and the ball went loose. Irish counterattacked and came within a whisker of a second try after another run by Tagicakibau in the last play of the half and with the Irish fans screaming for a penalty, for an alleged off-the-ball tackle just short of the line, Wasps managed to make the ball safe and the half ended with Irish holding a comfortable 13-0 lead.
There had been little difference between the sides, in terms of territory and possession, but the key difference had been that Irish had made fewer mistakes making them good value for their lead.
Wasps made a change at halftime, with Jeremy Staunton replacing Lewsey and moving into fly half while Riki Flutey moved to inside centre. Worryingly for Wasps supporters, the opening few minutes of the half saw further handling errors and Irish came close to extending their lead after 7 minutes, when Delon Armitage's penalty, from just inside his own half, was narrowly wide.
With ten minutes gone Wasps brought on the England pair of Phil Vickery and Tom Palmer, in place of Pat Barnard and Richard Birkett. The immediate Irish response was to score their second try, as Richard Thorpe went through a gaping hole at a lineout on the 22 to stroll over unopposed. Hewat's kick gave his side a comfortable cushion.
Wasps finally opened their account after Flutey's break launched a series of phases with Sackey and Simon Shaw prominent, and a ruck was set up on the Irish 22. To the surprise of all in the stadium, Tom Rees, emerged with the ball from no where and ran in for the simplest of tries, which Van Gisbergen converted.
From the restart a superb pickup was needed by Flutey from a rolling ball near the line to save a dangerous situation. However he could only find touch five metres out and an Irish maul from the lineout set up another attacking scrum. The Wasps defence came up too quickly and were penalised for offside, giving Hewat the simplest of penalties from in front of the posts to make it 23-7. Almost immediately Irish launched another attack down the left and as Wasps conceded another penalty in front of the posts Hewat put his side 19 points clear, with 13 minutes remaining.
With the result in no doubt, the Twickenham crowd took to practising the Mexican Wave, a sure sign that the on-pitch entertainment was not all it could be. They were forced in to a temporary suspension of their exercise however when Reddan did well to gather a loose ball, which had come back rather untidily from a scrum, to dart through a gap in the defence and claim the second Wasps try, which Staunton duly converted.
Referee Andrew Small then called uncontested scrums, as Irish had run out of front row forwards and as the clock ran into the last few minutes, Wasps launched a desperate attempt to secure a bonus point. They came close when Sackey was sent away down the right, but his inside pass was adjudged forward. Another chance followed as Joe Worsley's desperate dive couldn't quite get him to a loose ball in the on-goal area and as the touch judge intervened to say that a Wasps player had been tackled off the ball, the referee awarded a penalty, rather than a penalty try. With no time to kick to touch for the lineout, Wasps took another quick tap, and after several phases, the last play of the game seemed to have set up an overlap on the left, but Tagicabaku's flailing arm cut out the pass. As referee small decided it had not been a deliberate knock on he called time on a disappointing opener for Wasps.

4/5 rDev +12.7%
Appearance Hazy orange in color with a bit of carbonation and a nice, tan head.
Smell The aroma of this ale is reserved, but strong. It has a nice piney base along with some rindy orange but no sweetness. I can also pick up some grapefruit and some good toasted malts.
Taste The chewy caramel malts are much bigger at the taste than I picked up in the nose. There are a lot of butter flavors going on here as well. The hops are tangy, typical East Coast, and quite complex.
Mouthfeel This IPA is a solid medium-bodied with a thick, sugary mouthfeel.
Drinkability This is a solid IPA that went down well and could double as a good session beer.
Comments Many thanks to francisweizen for sending me this bottle. I had a bad Hocus Pocus experience in NYC last month and was anxious to try another offering from Magic Hat.

Blind Faith by Magic Hat Brewing. 6.2% alcohol content English India Pale Ale.
A- Pours a beautiful hazy orange fluid with a nice off white head that drops to a froth and heavy lacing that clings to the glass.
S- Dominate scents of citrus and grassy hops upfront with light carmel and sweet malts in the backbone.
T-M- Taste is solid with upfront grapefruit, citrus and grassy hop bitterness. Thick malty notes of sweet tea and carmel are in the backbone with a fresh finish. Mouthfeel is easy with a dry and astringent feel.
D- Drinkable it is! I would like to get a sixer and see how it goes.

In a SA pint glass the beer was a dark amber color with a thick, off-white head. A smidge of lace.
Aroma mostly of citrus, maybe a little bit of sweet malt.
Grapefruit taste, almost exclusively so. The malt I thought I detected in the nose just wasn't there.
I just couldn't appreciate theis beer as much as I wanted. Maybe too unidimensional. It was OK, but didn't do much for me.

Was at a package store recently that didn't have a great selection and decided to pick this up. Used to drink the hell out of this beer in the early 00's, then it got discontinued and apparently it comes around seasonally now as part of MH's "IPA on Tour" series. Kinda had low hopes.
Pours nicely, smells like a good IPA should. A little bit malt-leaning, a bit of grapefruit and pine in the nose.
Nice balanced taste in the mouth, a bit biscuity. Finishes nice and clean, no odd after-tastes in the mouth. Good example of a New England style IPA.
I was a bit surprised that I liked this. I would drink this beer any time and am glad I picked it up.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into pint glass. The label listed the abv at 6.2%. The back label has the year of 2010 and the month of July notched for its freshness date.
Appearance: It has a hazy amber to coppery colored body with an off white head. The head is tall thick and foamy. It has good retention and keeps a nice small cap on the beer until the last drop. On the way down the glass it makes some cool lacing.
Smell: The nose has a solid hop aroma featuring citrusy/herbal and musty notes over light pale maltiness and bready yeast.
Taste: Its medium bodied with a light bready maltiness supporting some decent hop bitterness. In the bitterness there are notes of herbal tea hops, citrus and some musty hops as well. The texture is smooth and firm with a nice level of carbonation.
Notes: This is a decent all around IPA.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date. The bring this beer back on occasion like it is a big deal ... it should have stayed a year-round beer. Have not had it in a long while so here we go.
Two fingers of froth with decent lacing on the glass, clear and bright brass color. Fruity, spicy and grainy mix in the aroma ... hint of alcohol and faint buttery smell from the yeast. Maltiness is a bit thin, the body is a little light for the style. Bitterness is there, fruity and spicy palate. Some maltiness which is dry for the most part, slightly biscuity. Buttery tone and leafy hop flavor in the dry finish.
Pretty much a hollow shell of its former self, it is ok ... just ok. There are many other IPAs that have raised the benchmark a lot higher than this beer.

This quirky, bottle pours a rusty orange, hazed iced tea colored, body with a moderate, beige, head that retains very well. Thick, island chains of lace coat the pint glass.
Very pleasing hop aromas, with pine cone, some florals, and pears hovering over a sweet, caramel malt backbone.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate, hops bite on the tongue. Somewhat coating in the mouth.
This is a tasty, American style IPA, with some aggressive hopping. Smoother than a SNPA, with more flavors going on. Very well balanced use of the malts and prominent hops. Finish is clean and mildly fruity.
Nothing chaotic about the chemistry here. This is an exceptional pale ale that is very tasty and enjoyable. Stands up very well to extra sharp, Vermont cheddar cheese.

Eeh, I wasnt really blown away by this "IPA" tastes more like a "PA" Freshness dating only tells you this should be consumed before "July" wonder which July? NIce mouth feel and appearance, but tasted a wee bit skimpy on the malt and HOPS, not what I'm used to in a American IPA...may have been an old bottle (last July may have been the date in question)

This is from a sampler case. 12oz. bottle. Expiry date clearly notched on the label. "Blessed with Hops" on the label.
Poured a deep copperish/amber with a 1/2 finger off-white head, which dropped very quickly to islands and a ring. Some carbonation is evident. Oddly, not much lacing at first, but picked up as I drank. (warming?)
Aroma is strong spicy/earthy hops, with strong toffee/brown suger malts. Pride of Ringwood yeast? Smell dry, if that's possible.
Flavor is crisp, clean pale malt, with a good hit from bitter hops. Strong earthy/grassy hop flavor fills the empty spaces, and lasts a long time. This IPA tastes pleasantly different!
Mouthfeel is tingly carbonation, followed by a dry, bitter, long lasting finish. Some hop resins on the tongue.
Very surprising beer. It has a prominent bittering, pleasant hop aroma and flavor, good malt for balance, and hidden ABV. Poundable, but look out!

Pours an orangeish color. Pretty decent white head, nice lacing. Solid retention.
Floral and hemp-y aromas.
Tastes herbal and pleasant. Sweet, but not overly. Slight caramel undertones.
Smooth and quite drinkable. The alcohol content is masked. Moderate to high carbonation.
Overall this is a pretty nice and very pleasant IPA. I'm really enjoying the "IPA on Tour" by Magic Hat. Some good stuff! This is probably one of my favorites of the series thus far.

Blind Faith opens with a surprisingly tame nose for an IPA: there are hops, yes, coming out of the bottle in light grapefruits, but at least an equal part of the emphasis is on malts, which bring fresh-baked wheat bread, brown sugar, and apricot notes to the party.
On the tongue, the beer is far hoppier than the nose foretold, opening with a good smattering of pink grapefruit and pine notes that come across in medium strength. These overlie a bed of fresh wheat flavors, including brown sugars, toast, biscuit, and apricot. Hints of pecan and Brazil nut shade the edges. In subsequent sips, the hops take on more of a grapefruit rind flavor (i.e. more tart and sour), and the malts are slightly plagued by the flavors of sucking on hay. The aftertaste is a continuation of the bitter hops, with light remnants of hay and toast, and fades with medium quickness. Mouthfeel is medium-light to medium, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is a good mid-level IPA, bearing many of the trademark flavors and aromas of the style, but lacking such finesse and creativity as would set it apart from its peers.

Eric Singer...
Although drummer Eric Singer was a member of Kiss for only a few years, he was present for the band's important early-90's 're-focused' period, when the group set their sites on becoming a true heavy metal force once more.
Born Eric Mensinger on May 12, 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio, one of the first rock concerts Eric attended as a teenager was strangely enough, Kiss (when they played Ohio on one of their very first tours with the New York Dolls) and began learning drums around this time. Quickly becoming a powerhouse rock drummer, Eric (who changed his last name to 'Singer'), landed temporary positions with such hard rocking notables as Lita Ford, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath, Badlands, Alice Cooper, and perhaps most importantly, as part of Paul Stanley's 1989 solo tour of the U.S. east coast.
When longtime Kiss drummer Eric Carr was stricken with cancer in 1991 just as sessions were to begin for an album that would prove to be their heaviest in years, Stanley recommended Singer as a fill-in. But when Carr died later in the year, Singer found himself as Kiss' permanent drummer. 1992's Revenge is widely considered by many Kiss fans as one of their best, strongest, and most inspired releases in years - on the strength of such tracks as "Unholy," "Domino," and "I Just Wanna" (which were all popular MTV Headbanger's Ball videos).
In addition to Revenge, Singer appeared on a few other Kiss releases in the 90's - Alive III, Unplugged, and Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions, as well as the home videos X-Treme Close-Up and Konfidential.
But by 1996, Singer found himself without a job when the original Kiss line-up (Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, & Peter Criss) decided to reunite. Undeterred, Eric contributed his drum talents to a slew of tribute albums - Rod Stewart (1997's Forever Mod), Queen (97's Dragon Attack), Ace Frehley (97's Return of the Comet), and Alice Cooper (99's Humanary S tew). He also put together E.S.P. (Eric Singer Project), releasing Lost and Spaced in 1998, which was eventually re-released as a self-titled album a year later - featuring John Corabi on vocals and ex-Kiss bandmate Bruce Kulick on guitar (as well as an uncredited guest appearance by Ace Frehley).
Eric rejoinded
When not touring with Kiss, Singer performs with Alice Cooper. Singer has been a member of Cooper's band since the release of the album Brutal Planet in 2000. Singer had already performed with Cooper years earlier, during the tour for the album Hey Stoopid. Singer has featured on three Alice Cooper albums to date, namely, Brutal Planet, The Eyes Of Alice Cooper, and Along Came a Spider.
He has also occasionally performed and recorded with his own Eric Singer Project, featuring, among others, his former Kiss bandmate Bruce Kulick and former Mötley Crüe lead singer John Corabi. Three releases have resulted from this collaboration: the studio album Lost And Spaced (1998), consisting completely of covers from classic rock songs; the live album Live In Japan (2006); and the DVD Live At The Marquee (2006).
Singer has also played in the band Avantasia, replacing drummer Alex Holzwarth after a guest performance in the song "Into the Unknown" from the album The Metal Opera Part II. Two EPs and one full album have been released with Singer's performance on the drums: Lost in Space Part I, Lost in Space Part II, and The Scarecrow, and on several songs from The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon.

DIVA TALK: Catching Up With Tony Nominee Andrea McArdle
By Andrew Gans
News, views and reviews about the women of the musical theatre and the concert/cabaret stage.
Andrea McArdle, whose booming, crystal-clear rendition of the Annie anthem "Tomorrow" brought her overnight fame in the original Broadway production of that Tony-winning musical, is currently enjoying a jam-packed schedule. In January the Broadway belter will return to the new Manhattan nightspot 54 Below for concerts Jan. 17-19. It is at 54 Below where McArdle will record new tracks for "70s and Sunny: Live at 54 Below," the first of her two upcoming recordings for the Broadway Records label. The second CD, "Calendar Dreams," which will team McArdle with an array of award-winning theatre composers, charts a year's journey in a woman's life month by month. And, McArdle has also signed on for two productions of the classic Jerry Herman musical Mame. She will play the eccentric Mame April 17-May, 2013, at Pennsylvania's Media Theatre for the Performing Arts and, subsequently, for three weeks at The Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to chat with the Tony-nominated singing actress while she was appearing in the acclaimed Off-Broadway musical revue NEWSical the Musical, a rare comedic outing for the star who said the experience, thanks to producer Tom D'Angora, "was a blast. And, I'm nuts for the people in that show." McArdle reminisced about Annie, Les Misérables and also spoke about her upcoming recordings.
Question: Having been identified with Annie for so many years, what does the show mean to you?
Question: You've sung "Tomorrow" so many times over the years, and it's such an optimistic song. Has that song ever gotten you through something in your own life?
McArdle: You know, I can see what it does to people when I sing it, so I've made my peace a long time ago, and it's a great song. It's a hard song. I mean, it's a great song, and it's my song. No matter who plays that role, it will forever be my song. And, I'm proud of that…[although] it was a little hard to accept when you're 13 and you're "adolescing." [Laughs.] You don't understand… Carol Channing was the one who really shed some light on that for me when we did Jerry's Girls because I was talking to a few of the leggy—the hot Jerry's Girls ensemble—and they were like, "You must be so sick of that song," and I was like, "Yeah, I'm really sick of it." And, she pulled me over in the way that only Carol would, and she was like, "Andrea! When [Jerry's Girls co-star] Leslie [Uggams] goes on the Tony Awards, what kind of music are they going to play when she walks on?" And, I said, "I don't know," and she goes, "Exactly." [Laughs.] She kind of said, "That's your song and don't ever let me hear you dissing it ever again." And, it really did put it into perspective for me. It's yours. Cherish it. Respect it. Treasure it… At this point, I think it's cool. Before it was a little hard for me to take because it's hard to be known for something you couldn't be a year after you did it. So that's a little odd, and the sad thing for people like me and [late Annie co-star] Laurie Beechman and the people who were hot then was that American Broadway was dead—where were the vehicles? … I mean, if the British invasion hadn't come in, Broadway was dead. In the late 80s, it was just dead. They didn't fund the writers, and it was just a weird time—that's when corporate Broadway merged. We used to have the same 13 guys producing everything, and we all knew each other. And, we could all fit into Tavern on the Green—everybody. But now it's huge [with] American Express and Universal Entertainment… It's a totally different ballgame now. It's weird because I was so young, but I was so aware—even at 13. You're so aware of the infrastructure of our little genre—our little Broadway thing. It was like dancing on the head of a pin, but it's a very different game now, and it's a much bigger business...
Question: You also played Miss Hannigan a couple times regionally. What was that like for you?
Question: That's so strange. I wonder why they wouldn't see you.
Question: Did you stay in touch with Dorothy Loudon throughout the years?
Question: You also have two new CDs coming out.
Question: How did that come about—getting all these composers together?
Question: Is there a chance you might stage the album? It sounds like it could be a song cycle.
Question: Who realized the anagram, or is that something you've known for a long time?
Question: That's pretty amazing that your name spells that.
Question: I know in the press materials for the recording it mentions you being newly single. I wonder what that's been like for you.
Question: What is your daughter up to these days?
Question: …With the Les Miz film coming up, I wanted to talk about your experience in the musical since you played both Eponine and Fantine.
Question: Are you looking forward to seeing the film? What are your thoughts?
Question: Having played both those roles, which one did you end up preferring?
Question: You're also going to be doing Mame…
Question: Have you ever done that part before?
Question: What's your dream role to do on Broadway—other than something new, of course?
Question: Both amazing shows.

Sweetheart Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style CRL277 187 189
Breathtaking! I purchased this gown for my renewal of vows last month. I tried it on at the suggestion of my friend with no real hopes of liking it. As soon as I looked in the mirror I knew this was it! It's a very heavy gown but the shorter train helps keep it from being unbearable. As a plus, the type of fabric used and the all-lace overlay make this an almost wrinkle-free gown. I had mine in the trunk of my car on a hot 9 hour drive crammed in with all my luggage and did not even need to have it steamed! May 10, 2011
Elegant & Sophisticated I thought I wanted a ball gown or satin mermaid gown until I tried this dress on. It is just absolutely stunning. I purchased it in ivory because I also feel it gives a more vintage look that will go perfect on my fall wedding this year. I just feel so grown up and beautiful! I didn't want to take it off at the store and I certainly can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! May 9, 2011
Va Va Voom This dress is gorgeous! I originally walked in wanting to get an all lace dress because I wanted something more sweet and soft but when I stepped out in this dress there was no turning back. Total show stopper. This dress accentuated all my curves and tiny waist like no other. My mom described it as a "Jessica Rabbit" effect. My fiance's jaw is going to drop. Can't wait to wear it on my wedding day. <3 May 8, 2011
"The Perfect Dress" My wedding is on 11/11/11 and I have been searching for months for "The Perfect Dress". I've been to several boutiques and was not impressed to say the least. That was until I found this dress at David's Bridal. Everywhere else I went in town had boring plain dresses that cost just as much if not more and lacked the detail work but most of all the WOW factor. I went in to try on what seemed like 100 dresses and totally fell in love with this dress. It looks more amazing in person and once you put the vail/tiara on it's even more beautiful. I totally recommend all brides to check it out. You will not be disappointed. PS. I love all the tiny little flowers and jewels on it. It's just the right amount without being overbearing. I bought this dress in ivory because it gave it a real vintage look! Amazing dress and I cant wait to wear it =) May 3, 2011

I'm trying to send a jar file via mms but when I try to access it, it returns me a message of 'access denied'. But when I try to reach an image in the same directory (and try to send it instead of sending the jar file), I can access it properly and mms is sent.
I thought it could be a matter of permision or maybe I just need to sign my midlet. But I've already tried to self-sign it and it didn't work. I'm using JME in an E50.
I get an error in this line:
FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open(path, Connector.READ);
where 'path' are defined as:
String path = System.getProperty(photos) + "Sokoban1609.jar";
and 'photos' as:
private String photos = "fileconn.dir.photos";
I tried to reach my jar file in the photos directory, I don't know if there is any problem...

Your favorite park
Original post made by Norbert von der Groeben on Jul 17, 2007

I've always been a fan of Eleanor Pardee Park on Lytton and Bryant. Quiet, nice atmosphere, good space for throwing the football or frisbee. And it's close to downtown, so there are nearby places to buy food for a picnic or go have lunch in between football or volleyball games.

In my experience, everyone's favorite park is the one nearest their home and they use it most of the time.

As an NES, but not an English specialist:
I would have no problem with the sentence per se, other than that it feels a bit "long winded".
You could say:
"We will notify the students concerned of the procedures necessary to obtain a new Student ID card."
or more simply:
"We will advise the students involved how to obtain a new Student ID card."
Hope this helps
PS: Remember to start your sentences with a capital letter.
PPS: I, myself, regularly end up writing long sentences, when I don't have the time to write short ones!

Nice pool, good breakfast
The room I selected on the internet had two queen beds and a sofa. The room we were given when we arrived had two queen beds and no sofa. We needed the sofa for one our our grandchildren.The desk clerk tried hard to find us a room with two beds and a sofa, which I thought I had booked on-line, but there weren't any available. She gave us a second room but it was already taken. The last room she gave us was the executive suite which had a sofa and a king sized bed. We slept one adult and two children in the king and one adult and one child in the sofa bed. The room was large and clean and we made it work.

Restorative justice realities: research in a European context
reviewed by Martin Wright:
Nine countries, nine ways of doing restorative justice, and several approaches to researching it. In order to describe the research, the authors also provide useful summaries of how restorative justice has been put into practice in Belgium, Norway, Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and England and Wales. Mostly these countries use victim-offender mediation, in some cases with a high proportion of indirect (shuttle) mediations; a few, including the Netherlands and Norway, have begun to experiment with conferencing. Perhaps the best way to indicate the book's scope is to give examples of the information it contains, rather than attempt a summary.

The ship and cruise line exceeded our expectations in every respect. The ship layout is well defined and organized. The food is excellent and varied from gourmet to burgers and pizza in at least 10 or 12 venues. The entertainment is superior every night . . 3 Broadway quality Productions, Comedy Show, Magician and Illusionist, late night dance parties, 6 to 8 venues with a series of rotating musical groups from guitar to jazz combo to classical trio to acapella groups . . each day and night was full of opportunities. The Service is first class, period, and friendly and eager to please. There is a big outdoor pool and jacuzzi area, and an adjacent indoor one too . . PLUS a great Spa and Persian Gardens area with Saunas, Steam Rooms, and full Spa facilities, workout gym, etc.
We booked an Aqua Class Cabin with balcony, well worth it, and our semi-private dining room was Blu . . we loved it ! Cabin was roomy with a LOT of storage ( suitcases and all bags fit under the beds ). Balcony seems like a must . . adds to perceived and real open feeling, and is great to sit outside and relax in comfort. Whale Watching and White Pass Rail Trips were great. Weather wes lousy but who cares, it is ALASKA ! Rugged, wild, expansive, rains a lot, low clouds and foggy . . seemed perfect.

Considered possibly the best 205-pounder in the world after winning the PRIDE Grand Prix in 2005, Rua completed an epic second career act after knee injuries threatened to steal his best days. Rua floored Machida with a right hand behind the ear and knocked the champion unconscious with ground-and-pound en route to the first round stoppage before 17,647 fans at the Bell Centre.
"As athletes, we have problems and troubles we have to overcome," Rua said through his interpreter and manager Eduardo Alonso. "The toughest times fighters can face are injury times. My worst times in life were injuries two years ago. That was very tough, with people criticizing me a lot. I worked so hard. Going through criticism, I tried to think, 'Someone has to pay the bill for what I'm going through.' I tried to do that with this fight. It's payback for when I wasn't fighting."
It was a completely different affair from their first meeting, when the two went the entire five-round distance in a razor-close fight at UFC 104 last October. While most onlookers thought Shogun victorious, all three ringside judges scored Machida the winner in the tactical affair.
Because of the controversy, UFC President Dana White -- in a rare move -- granted Shogun an immediate rematch, which was delayed by Machida's subsequent hand surgery.
For the rematch, Rua made one slight alteration to his game plan, which focused heavily on leg and body kicks the first time around. This time, he went for the head. He said that in analyzing their first bout, he realized Machida's hands were not always up in proper defensive position after kicks, and that was exactly the opening he exploited to lead to the finish this time around.
Machida came into the rematch as the favorite, but the Montreal crowd exploded at Rua's stunning finish. His ground strikes knocked Machida out, and it was so obvious that Rua pulled away even before the referee could call a halt to the action.
The previously unbeaten Machida (16-1) left the cage with a badly swollen left eye, and the first blemish on his record.
"To go out and knock out Lyoto in the first round the way he did, to say it's impressive is stupid," Dana White said. "It was unbelievable, incredible."
Rua (19-4) won the $65,000 knockout of the night bonus to put a bow on his fantastic night and career comeback. Just a little over a year ago, Rua was on the receiving end of tremendous criticism for what many perceived to be a lethargic performance against the then 44-year-old Mark Coleman. Three fights later, he's arguably the best in the world, and unquestionably the best in the UFC.
"I never had any doubts on myself," Rua said. "Through hard moments I believed in myself and my dream, and now I achieved my dream of becoming the UFC world champion."
Rua's win was the clear highlight of an otherwise entertaining but bizarre event, which concluded with two fighters on the TV portion of the card losing their jobs for entirely different reasons.
In a horrific display of sportsmanship, welterweight slugger Paul Daley sucker-punched Josh Koscheck well after the final bell of their co-main event fight, leading to White cutting him.
Koscheck had just completed a systematic, three-round grinding win over Daley, taking him down repeatedly and stifling the Brit's renowned striking attack in the process.
After the final bell, Koscheck got off the downed Daley, but Daley followed him a few steps and unleashed a left hook that landed. Koscheck did not retaliate, instead walking to his corner as ref Dan Miragliotta pulled Daley away.
While Koscheck was announced the winner in an obvious decision, the only question that remained was what punishment Daley would receive as a result. White acted swiftly in saying Daley's days in the UFC were over forever.
"He's done," White said. "I don't care if he's the best 170-pounder in the world, he'll never fight in the UFC again."
Surprisingly, Koscheck did not seem bothered by the incident, revealing that he may have played a role in it by taunting Daley in the fight's final moments.
"You're going to have to ask him what I said, but it wasn't very polite," he said. "He eye gouged me a couple times, I'm still having trouble seeing from his fingers. But he'll come back. He's still young in his MMA career. I think he'll be back and live to fight another day."
The other fighter who no longer has a job after living the Bell Centre was Kimbo Slice, who was cut after losing via second-round TKO to Matt Mitrione.
Slice perfomed relatively well in the first round with a pair of slam takedowns against Mitrione and escaping a pair of submission tries as well, but Mitrione turned the tide with vicious leg kicks that stole Slice's base.
Mitrione took advantage of his wobbly opponent, eventually ending up on top and brutalizing Slice with ground and pound before the ref ended things at 4:24 of the round.
"Kimbo's done. We're going to cut him," said White, who added that he gained a deep respect for Slice for the way he carried himself through his brief UFC run.
In a key middleweight bout, Alan Belcher beat the returning Patrick Cote with a second round rear naked choke.
The two fought a spirited first round and Cote had just landed a series of strikes in the second when they fought against the cage. With Cote bent over trying to secure Belcher's legs for a takedown try, Belcher picked Cote up and slammed him down. He then quickly transitioned to back control and locked in the submission for the win.
Afterward, Belcher called out the division's champ.
"I'm happy I finally started fighting to my potential," Belcher said. "No more goofing off. I know if I breathe right, I can pick anyone apart. You know who I'm talking about."
When announcer Joe Rogan asked him who, Belcher didn't hesitate. "I'm talking about Anderson [Silva]. Everyone knows who can take it to him, who can stand with Anderson. I want that title fight. Give it to me."
For his efforts, Belcher won the evening's Submission of the Night Award.
In the final televised fight of the evening, Jeremy Stephens earned a mild upset over Sam Stout in a close, split decision.
Stephens lived up to his reputation as a power puncher, dropping Stout and bloodying him early before Stout came back and made it close.
"Sam Stout is a warrior," Stephens said afterward. "I was just more powerful."
In preliminary bouts, Joe Doerksen submitted Tom Lawlor in the second round, Marcus Davis scored a second-round TKO over Jonathan Goulet and John Salter was awarded a TKO win after Jason MacDonald broke his leg in the first round of their middleweight bout.
In fights that went the distance, Johny Hendricks won a majority decision over TJ Grant, Joey Beltran earned the judges' nod over Tim Hague, and Mike Guymon outpointed Yoshiyuki Yoshida.

How Do Cats Always Land On Their Feet?
Cats and kittens love to climb to high perches. They want to be on top of the world, literally, in order to see danger coming and to keep track of important cat happenings—like you opening the cat food canister. But this love of heights can get cats in trouble.
There's a commonly held myth that cats always land on their feet. That doesn't mean they always land without injury, although they do seem more indestructible than other critters. This talent is one of the reasons cats were held to have nine lives. But just how do they always seem to land on their feet? It's really a combination of their incredible sense of balance and natural athleticism that keeps them safe.
Mystical Balance
The cats' uncanny sense of balance is intrinsically tied to the vestibular apparatus deep inside the ear. These organs provide cats with whisker-fast judgment calls that help them distinguish up from down as well as acceleration information.
The vestibular apparatus—balance organs—consist of a trio of tiny structures called the utricle, saccule, and semicircular canals. They are filled with fluid, and the utricle and saccule fluid contains chalky material that floats in the liquid. The inner surfaces of all three structures are lined with microscopic hairs, and movement of the cat's head causes the fluid and the floating chalk to brush against the tiny hairs. The sensitive nature of this design mimics whiskers or antennae able to react and adjust to the influences of movement, and that information is communicated to the kitty brain in terms of body position and speed of movement.
Interestingly, cats that lack this inner ear apparatus are still able to land on their feet—but NOT if they are blindfolded. In these cats, it's probably a combination of both equilibrium and eyesight that allows the falling reflex to function. There is one thing, however, that your cat must have to land on their feet, and, thankfully, all cats do.
Yoga Flexibility
Cats have very elastic bodies because—unlike our bodies—muscles rather than ligaments hold their spines together. Your kitty can move her spine 180 degrees, and her shoulder blades are on the side of the body (not the back like in humans), attached to the chest by muscles and not by a collarbone. The absence of the collarbone adds to the cat's twist-ability. When she falls, the cat uses a series of spine, shoulder and flank contractions to twist in midair and land on her feet.
When she lands, the cat arches her back and extends her legs like shock absorbers to cushion the fall. Even if a cat lands with an "all fours" landing, she could be injured, though. Falls from short distances (like from a child's arms) may not offer enough distance for the righting mechanism to work. And falls out of apartment windows can result in devastating injuries when kitty lands on all fours, fracturing her legs, pelvis, ribs, and cracking her chin.
Surprisingly, cats survive falls from higher than nine stories with fewer injuries, a phenomenon called Highrise Syndrome. But there's nothing magical about it. These distances give the cat time to relax, empty her bladder, and "soar" like a flying squirrel with the wind catching the folds of the legs to slow the fall. A spread-eagle landing (instead of on her feet) allows the chest and abdomen to absorb the shock and saves the head and legs from more severe or even fatal injury. Falls from the first through fourth floor aren't as likely to cause serious injuries, perhaps because the cat doesn't have time to reach tremendous speeds.
When Seren was a kitten, she scared me to death playing walk-the-ledge on the outside of the railing on our stairwell balcony. Sure enough, she slipped, and her mid-air kitty contortions were a sight to behold. She landed on the hardwood entry below, in a belly-flop position (thank goodness!) or might have suffered broken legs.
Luckily, clueless kittens sometimes bounce. Maybe that's another reason we think they have nine lives.

Rated 2 out of 5�by chadjj Needle Broke on First Use Nice kit that came with three needle. I see why now. The first needle I used broke within seconds of trying to inflate the ball I bought it for. The next needle I used with the flexible hose that came with it and that worked much better. I might sound old saying this... but I had one of these as a kid that was much more durable and I used it for years without issue. I don't see this one lasting that long. August 19, 2014

Greensburg —
Anyone who's gone near a video game from the '80s, '90s or early 2000s will probably find something to smile about in "Wreck-it Ralph."
Ditto for anyone who's spent extended play-time at a Chuck E. Cheese or similar kiddie-themed eatery with wall-to-wall video games; characters from "Mario Brothers," "Sonic the Hedgehog," "Qbert," "Street Fighter," "Joust," "The House of the Dead," "Mortal Kombat" and "Pac-man" all make cameos.
A smile, however, doesn't necessarily translate into big laughs nor into a great movie-going experience, and both are true of "Ralph."
"Ralph" is the video-game set's answer to Pixar's wildly popular "Toy Story." It tells the story of Ralph (John C. Reilly), the villain of an old-school arcade game that's markedly similar to "Donkey Kong" — "Fix-it Felix, Jr."
After 30 years of villainy, though, Ralph is disillusioned misfit who's tired of being the "bad guy." When a video-game-villain support group fails to resolve his discontent, Ralph abandons his game and setts off to earn a medal from another game.
That medal, Ralph believes, will earn him the respect and love of his fellow "Felix" characters.
After the arcade closes, Ralph (and all the other characters in this film), can jump from arcade game to arcade game; he need only return in time for the arcade's opening the next day. Otherwise, in the parlance of "Ralph's" writers, he will have gone "turbo." If that happens, "Fix-it Felix, Jr." will likely be turned off.
Thus begins Ralph's quest — a quest that takes him from a "Call of Duty"-like game with giant, robotic spiders called "Hero's Duty," to a racing game called "Sugar Rush" that's similar to Nintendo's "Mario Kart."
"Sugar Rush" is where Ralph meets Vanellope (Sarah Silverman), another misfit character who isn't accepted by the other characters in her game. She and Ralph get off to a bumpy start but soon find quite a bit in common; friendship ensues — as does villainy, betrayal, several twists and turns, and a standard-type life lesson about accepting people for who they are, despite their quirks and differences. Happy endings, of course, abound.
"Wreck-it Ralph" isn't likely to win any awards for its script or storyline; in the age of digital animation, this is fairly run-of-the-mill, standard kiddie entertainment. That's really "Ralph's" biggest problem, though: It isn't terrible, but neither is it great; it's average.
It's certainly not up to Pixar standards, and I can't help wondering if that's why Disney stamped it's own name on this project. In fact, at times "Ralph" plays like a "Toy Story" rehash or wannabe.
That's not to say it isn't worth taking kids to see. Adults should be forewarned, however, that they're likely to wish they'd seen something else if the kids don't come along.

A Charlottesville organization that teaches kids to make healthy meals is expanding. Now, young up-and-coming chefs are getting a new culinary-grade kitchen.
It's a project the PB&J Fund has had in the works for about a year. Instead of the staff going to partner organizations to meet with the kids, the kids can come to them and cook in a professional kitchen.
"They're now coming into our kitchen and learning to cook in a more concise, productive way because the kitchen is definitely designed for kids," said program director Alicia Cost.
Cost said they took ideas from the partner kitchens they've worked in, like ones at Buford Middle School and the Boys and Girls Club, and came up with things they liked and didn't like for their own kitchen.
"We've made it institutional to be healthy and safe, but also kid friendly," she said. "It's organized in such a way that they know what they need to do and it helps the flow and the learning environment."
The students are learning knife skills, culinary skills, and even math along the way.
"What we try to do is introduce the idea between measuring cups and teaspoons, using liquid measures versus dry measures, how to add one-fourth to make three-fourth cups, so trying to introduce different measurements to the cooking process," said Courtenay Evans, a chef and culinary educator at the PB&J Fund. "You learn skills that you don't necessarily know that you are learning."
The children who cook in the new kitchen can appreciate the bright, fun atmosphere and the delicious recipes on the menu.
"They help us too and like they guide us through it," said student Princess Ghartey. "It's fun to try new things."
The staff is just as excited to be there as well.
"So they're also learning about nutrition, they're learning about culinary skills, they're learning about math skills in a different way than they would in a classroom, and they're learning about food safety and they're doing it with their friends," she said. "So we're kind of in a win-win situation. They want to be here and we're happy to work with them."
An actual chef would appreciate the new kitchen, equipped with a six-burner convection stove, plenty of counter space, and all the necessary cooking gadgets.
"So they're learning how to cook like a chef would, but at a kid-friendly level," Cost said.
"You get to eat with your friends and just try new things," added Ghartey.
One of the fun features of the kitchen, for kids, is all the colors. Everything is red, purple, or orange. It's color-coordinated so each team can keep track of their own materials and everyone washes their own dishes.
"And now they actually want to do the dishes because I think they're excited to be in the space," Evans said. "It's a very kid-friendly kitchen and the kitchen can be an intimidating place to be and we've tried to make it not intimidating, to make cooking fun," she said.
The new PB&J Fund kitchen holds up to 18 kids. They're making nutritious meals like smoothies, spinach artichoke dip, three bean chili, spaghetti bolognaise, and vegetable soup using fresh seasonal produce. They're making the meals not just for themselves, but for their parents and families.
"It teaches me how to cook because I'm not really a good cook," said student Weedor Kollie. "My mom, I always ask her if I can cook now because I'm a little better at it and I can't wait to go to the next level," she said.
The staff, like Evans, can't wait to see the students' progress either.
"They teach us more than we teach them on a daily basis, so it's a wonderful place to work," she said. "Cooking is such an important part of life, food is so integral to life, and so by allowing us to teach cooking skills early on it creates more choice, it creates more confidence, and it expands the breadth of knowledge about food which nourishes us."
Wednesday, the PB&J Fund begins its partnership with Children, Youth and Family Services of Charlottesville and Virginia Cooperative Extension to provide the Cooking Matters program to Parenting Mobile participants at the new kitchen.
Friday night, the PB&J Fund is supporting students at Buford Middle School with their "Veg Off." The kids will cook various foods with sweet potato as the "secret ingredient," then, it's up to the students to choose a winner.
The PB&J Fund Holiday Giving event for volunteers is December 6 and 7. Volunteer opportunities are available, and for more information about how to get involved, submit a volunteer inquiry on the PB&J website.
