Golfers shrug off green fears
Pre-tournament memo warned players about conditions at Emirates Golf Club
Dubai: Pre-tournament fears surrounding the health of the greens at Emirates Golf Club's Majlis Course were shrugged off by players after a low scoring opener to the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday.
In a pre-event memo sent out to players from the European Tour's Tournament Director Mike Stewart last week, it was said: "We are aware of rumours circulating about the conditions at Emirates Golf Club and take this opportunity to apprise you of the present position and to alleviate any concerns.
"Unfortunately towards the end of December, the greens were affected by a fungal disease known as 'Bermudagrass Decline', which seriously affected the plant and resulted in a loss of grass coverage." The statement went on to say a recovery programme had been largely successful but for notable damage on the first and fifth holes.
However, there were only positives reviews from those finishing their opening rounds. Tied for sixth, Paul Casey, who hit six under par, 66, said: "I scratch my head slightly because we had a letter last week about the greens and how they had picked up some kind of disease and that they were worried about the conditions.
"They were absolutely pure. I have no idea what they are talking about. It's the best-conditioned golf course I've played this year by far."
Day one leader Richard Sterne, who hit ten under par 62, added of the greens: "They were better than I expected. Obviously when they send out something like that, you do tend to worry. But generally, I think they are better than what we expected."

سكس حيونات While the original `Naruto` cartoon started off with a lot of momentum, there were moments where it tended to lag, especially during the Sasuke Retrieval arc. In fact i think why sums up the entire movie. This is not why I think 20th Century Fox was not putting money into this project initially. سكسيكس I love his Final Destination series, but I think James is not NOT the right person to direct this million plus dollars franchise. سكس حيونات falcon and other main characters. When does instinct and experience pay off? سكسيكس Worst of all, his fighting and Ninja skills seem to have disappeared. And of course, various characters named after foods. سكس نيك قحاب For rubbish shows they will also post a `Well done` but for shows that consists of more work and difficulty its always this bad thats bad and all that crap! Oolong, as in the tea; Videl, like the onion variety; Ginger, obvious; Spice; Blueberry; Raspberry; Raisin; Almond; Apple; and in Dragonball there was not an entire family of about 12 named after desserts.
سكس نيك قحاب Wukong is the Chinese name for Goku. سكس نيك قحاب I did pick back up around episode 83 with the hidan and kazuku fight scenes and it was very good.

Christopher Sparkman has come a long way.
"When he arrived on Tuesday morning he had immediately life-threatening injuries. He was taken right to the operating room minutes after his arrival for a life-threatening hemorrhage," said Dr. Barry Renz, director of Trauma, WellStar Kennestone Medical Center.
Renz said it took two surgeries to stop the bleeding and stabilize Sparkman. Thursday surgeons went back in and reconstructed Sparkman's gastrointestinal tract.
"The surgery involves sowing intestine to intestine. We did that twice, cleaning up dead tissue, dead organs, anything that is destroyed comes out. Then we will wash him out real good taking a look at everything else to make sure it's OK," said Renz.
Renz said the next 24 hours will determine what happens next, more surgery for Sparkman, or more recovery time. Meanwhile he said the other two shooting victims are doing well.
"The 52-year-old female had pellets all over her chest, abdomen, pelvis and thighs. We had to operate on her for several injuries so she is recovering from that surgery and she should be going home in the next couple of days. The third patient had a shotgun wound to the forearm that required some surgery he's already been discharged," Renz said.
Although Renz said Sparkman has a ways to go before he can go home, he said advances in medicine and an experienced staff means the 28-year-old's future is looking bright.
"With trauma, we have come a long way. Even since my training it is light years of change and for the better. So 30 years ago, 40 years ago the outcomes may not have been what they are now," Renz said.

San Francisco Sights
Sutro Heights Park
Sutro Heights Park Review
Crows and other large birds battle the heady breezes at this cliff-top park on what were once the grounds of the home of Adolph Sutro, an eccentric mining engineer and former San Francisco mayor. An extremely wealthy man, Sutro may have owned about 10% of San Francisco at one point, but he couldn't buy good taste: a few remnants of his gaudy, faux-classical statue collection still stand (including the lions at what was the main gate). Monterey cypresses and Canary Island palms dot the park, and photos on placards depict what things looked like before the house burned down in 1896, from the greenhouse to the ornate carpet-bed designs.
All that remains of the main house is its foundation. Climb up for a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean and the Cliff House below (which Sutro owned), and try to imagine what the perspective might have been like from one of the upper floors. San Francisco City Guides (415/557–4266; www.sfcityguides.org) runs a free Saturday tour of the park that starts at 2 (meet at the lion statue at 48th and Point Lobos avenues).

Isn't it wonderful!!! The world must know that the Ukrainian people will not allow Russia and other ignoramuses dictate to the Ukrainian people who their heroes are to be. The world must be taught that Ukrainians who fought against Soviet Russian Bolshevism and German Nazism are true heroes and freedom fighters who laid down their lives for the defense and freedom of their nation. The world must also know that they must stop seeing Ukrainian history through the eyes of Ukraine's enemies and accepting as fact the lies and smears that Ukraine's enemies try to throw at true Ukrainian heroes and freedom fighters who fought against all forms of totalitarianism and all forms of aggression against their nation.
Very well said.
slava Ykraini- heroim slava
as re: "true Ukrainian heroes and freedom fighters who fought against all forms of totalitarianism and all forms of aggression against their nation"
Until 1941, the ethnicity of the majority of OUN's victims: Ukrainian.
It's the only right thing to do. Both Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany committed crimes against humanity during their invasions of Ukraine and Ukraine must honor those who fought against them.
That takes REAL courage and Patriotism ....this is a true heroic Patriotic city!!!!
Slava Ukraini!!!!!!!!!
My father was there. He engaged both, the Soviet Russians and Nazis.
Let us also honour the tens of thousands of Ukrainians who fought under the leadership of these three heroes and the thousands more who gave their lives for freedom from oppression.
Your father, was a traitorous Nazi scum. He fought against Ukraine, because he was an Austro-Hungarian, Banderian pig.
Ukraine is ashamed that scum like this even dare think of themselves as "ukrainians".
Shame and condemnation to such "heroes".

Let it stay that way. It seems more realistic that these traitors are "heroes" of some villages, rather than of great Ukraine. Bandera was a criminal - and new President Yanukovich must revoke this absurd title, which no normal person takes seriously anyways.
Having had relatives die at the hands of Bandera,s group of thugs for having committed the crime of teaching in school I could never agree with these actions. It's my belief that the revival of all these troubles of times past is an attempt to divide our country. Do those in the west think themselfs more ukrainian than myself living in the south east? My family on both sides goes back very many generations and we are and have always been ukrainian speaking. What will be the next step in attempting to bring about a divided nation? Maybe religion? Quite possibly Our Ukraine and the other "true?" ukrainian party's will tell us russian orthodox members cannot call themselves ukrainian. As regards Dmytro Tabachnyk. In this democratic age, why should a handfull of extremists think they have a right to deny us the man best quallified and most likely to consider all aspects of our education system, without the extream bias shown by our last goverment?
best comment so far !!

Luke 14
The Great Banquet concept is patterned around the parable from Luke 14:15-24. Jesus tells of a master who prepared a great banquet and invited many guests, saying "Come, for everything is now ready." After many excuses for not attending, the master becomes angry and orders his servants: "Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame."
After this has been done and room still remains, the master tells his servants: "Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full." Then, as additional invitations are given, the banquet is presented to his guests. The result of the master's invitation was to feast and fellowship at a banquet given by God.

Floating HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time
July 4, 2014
The Queen formally names the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth
A break with tradition, as the ship was christened with a bottle of Bowmore whisky, rather than a bottle of champagne:
HMS Queen Elizabeth is pictured in Rosyth Dockyard where Queen Elizabeth II will formally name the Royal Navy's biggest ever ship on July 4, 2014 in Fife, Scotland. With whisky replacing the more traditional champagne at the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II will smash a bottle of Islay malt whisky against HMS Queen Elizabeth at the event at Rosyth Dockyard, where the 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier has been assembled and fitted out. (Photo by Andrew Milligan – WPA Pool /Getty Images)
A bottle of whisky was smashed on the hull of the 65,000-tonne HMS Queen Elizabeth — the first of two new Royal Navy aircraft carriers being built.
The Red Arrows flew over the dockyard before the ship was officially named.
First Sea Lord Admiral George Zambellas said the ship was "fit for a Queen".
"HMS Queen Elizabeth will be a national instrument of power and a national symbol of authority," he said in a speech.
"That means she will be a national icon too, all the while keeping the great in Great Britain and the royal in Royal Navy."
Addressing the audience, the Queen said the "innovative and first class" warship, the largest ever to be built in the UK, ushered in an "exciting new era".
"In sponsoring this new aircraft carrier, I believe the Queen Elizabeth will be a source of inspiration and pride for us all," she said.
"May God bless her and all who sail in her."
And even the bloody BBC gets it wrong: the ship is named for Queen Elizabeth I, not the current monarch … when the Royal Navy names a ship for a monarch, like the battleship HMS King George V for example, it indicates which King George is being memorialized. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the third time the Royal Navy has named a ship for the Virgin Queen: the first being the lead ship of a class of super-dreadnoughts launched just before the outbreak of WW1, and the second being the lead ship of a class of never-built aircraft carriers in the 1960s (no, I don't know why that counts: ask the RN about that).
Update 17 July: A few photos from Jeff Head's Flickr stream show the contrast between the soon-to-be-retired HMS Illustrious and the soon-to-be-launched HMS Queen Elizabeth:

When is a carrier not a carrier?
Robert Farley examines the claim that the US Navy has 10 aircraft carriers:
Last week the U.S. Navy accepted USS America, first of the America-class amphibious assault ships, into service. Unlike most recent amphibious assault ships, USS America and her sister USS Tripoli lack well-decks, instead focusing on aviation facilities. When fully operational, America and Tripoli will operate as many as 20 F-35Bs, potentially playing a critical role in what the Navy projects as the future of air superiority.
Inevitably, the delivery of USS America rekindles the ongoing conversation over what, precisely, constitutes an aircraft carrier. In the United States, we endure the polite fiction that the USN's 45,000 ton aircraft carriers are not aircraft carriers, but rather some other kind of creature. USS America is roughly the same size as the French Charles De Gaulle and the INS Vikramaditya, although a bit smaller than the RFS Admiral Kuzetsov or her Chinese sister, the Liaoning. America is considerably larger than recent aircraft-carrying ships constructed for the Korean, Japanese, and Australian navies.
As an educator, I can attest to some frustration in relating to students that the United States operates ten aircraft carriers, plus another nine ships that we would refer to as aircraft carriers if they served in any other navy. And while I appreciate the desire of analysts to differently categorize the capabilities of Wasp and Nimitz-class carriers, I wish that people had a firmer grasp on the abject silliness of claiming that a 45,000 ton flat-decked aircraft-carrying warship is not, in fact, an aircraft carrier. Think of the children.
Wikimedia offers this visual aid to understanding the relative sizes and carrying capacity of aircraft carriers from the US Navy and other navies:

The Doolittle Raid, 18 April 1942
I was busy with away-from-the-computer stuff yesterday, so I didn't see this post until today:
Less than 19 weeks after the U.S. Navy was attacked at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the American military struck back. On April 18, 1942 – 72 years ago today – sixteen Army Air Force bombers launched from a Navy aircraft carrier to attack the enemy's homeland.
Led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle, the raid was launched from USS Hornet, commanded by Capt. Marc Mitscher and escorted by ships under the command of Vice Adm. "Bull" Halsey aboard his flagship, USS Enterprise.
The extraordinary joint Doolittle Raid showed Imperial Japan's military leaders their vulnerability and America's resolve.
The raid also demonstrated innovation, courage and resilience.
The five-man B-25 crews trained relentlessly prior to their mission, with specialized training led by Navy flight instructor Lt. Henry F. Miller. The Army Air Force made ingenious modifications so the bombers could have extra fuel but less weight.
Pilots, all volunteers, needed to be extremely fearless, taking off in their huge planes from a short flight deck. On rough seas they launched in bitter cold, 75-knot winds and foam-flecked spray, as Sailors aboard recalled.
Doolittle, as his team's leader, took off first. His success inspired the other pilots just as their entire mission would inspire the nation – putting action to the nationwide words of resolve heard throughout the world: "Remember Pearl Harbor!"
Seven Doolittle Raiders were killed in the mission: Two drowned and a third was killed by the fall after bailing out; eight were captured by the Japanese. Three of the eight POWs were executed Oct. 15, 1942, and another died of malnutrition Dec. 1, 1943. The surviving four POWs were released in August 1945.
The Raiders who landed in China were assisted by American missionary Rev. John M. Birch, whose contacts within Japanese-occupied China helped the Raiders to escape. Afterward, Birch was commissioned a lieutenant in the Army Air Force, continuing his work as a missionary while gathering intelligence on the Japanese. He was killed Aug. 25, 1945, at the age of 27, during a confrontation with Chinese Communists. The John Birch Society honors Birch, a recipient of both the Legion of Merit and the Distinguished Service Medal.
Even though the Doolittle Raiders bombed Tokyo, it was the Chinese who suffered the most from the raid. Furious the Chinese nationalists were protecting the Americans, the Japanese retaliated against several coastal cities suspected of harboring the Americans, killing an estimated 250,000 Chinese citizens.
Doolittle was so convinced his mission had been a failure, he was convinced he would face a court-martial upon his return to the United States. Instead, he was promoted to general, skipping the rank of colonel. He and all of his Raiders were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Mitscher served in a variety of command leadership positions for the rest of World War II, earning the rank of admiral and title as Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

Paper Dragon?
In The Diplomat, Ian Easton gives some anecdotal run-downs of People's Liberation Army operations (and mishaps) over the last decade:
In April 2003, the Chinese Navy decided to put a large group of its best submarine talent on the same boat as part of an experiment to synergize its naval elite. The result? Within hours of leaving port, the Type 035 Ming III class submarine sank with all hands lost. Never having fully recovered from this maritime disaster, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is still the only permanent member of the United Nations Security Council never to have conducted an operational patrol with a nuclear missile submarine.
China is also the only member of the UN's "Big Five" never to have built and operated an aircraft carrier. While it launched a refurbished Ukrainian built carrier amidst much fanfare in September 2012 – then-President Hu Jintao and all the top brass showed up – soon afterward the big ship had to return to the docks for extensive overhauls because of suspected engine failure; not the most auspicious of starts for China's fledgling "blue water" navy, and not the least example of a modernizing military that has yet to master last century's technology.
Indeed, today the People's Liberation Army (PLA) still conducts long-distance maneuver training at speeds measured by how fast the next available cargo train can transport its tanks and guns forward. And if mobilizing and moving armies around on railway tracks sounds a bit antiquated in an era of global airlift, it should – that was how it was done in the First World War.
While recent years have witnessed a tremendous Chinese propaganda effort aimed at convincing the world that the PRC is a serious military player that is owed respect, outsiders often forget that China does not even have a professional military. The PLA, unlike the armed forces of the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other regional heavyweights, is by definition not a professional fighting force. Rather, it is a "party army," the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Indeed, all career officers in the PLA are members of the CCP and all units at the company level and above have political officers assigned to enforce party control. Likewise, all important decisions in the PLA are made by Communist Party committees that are dominated by political officers, not by operators. This system ensures that the interests of the party's civilian and military leaders are merged, and for this reason new Chinese soldiers entering into the PLA swear their allegiance to the CCP, not to the PRC constitution or the people of China.
This may be one reason why China's marines (or "naval infantry" in PLA parlance) and other amphibious warfare units train by landing on big white sandy beaches that look nothing like the west coast of Taiwan (or for that matter anyplace else they could conceivably be sent in the East China Sea or South China Sea). It could also be why PLA Air Force pilots still typically get less than ten hours of flight time a month (well below regional standards), and only in 2012 began to have the ability to submit their own flight plans (previously, overbearing staff officers assigned pilots their flight plans and would not even allow them to taxi and take-off on the runways by themselves).
And yet, despite the occasional comic opera situation, the PLA (especially the PLAN) seems to be more dangerous to neighbouring countries:
Yet none of this should be comforting to China's potential military adversaries. It is precisely China's military weakness that makes it so dangerous. Take the PLA's lack of combat experience, for example. A few minor border scraps aside, the PLA hasn't seen real combat since the Korean War. This appears to be a major factor leading it to act so brazenly in the East and South China Seas. Indeed, China's navy now appears to be itching for a fight anywhere it can find one. Experienced combat veterans almost never act this way. Indeed, history shows that military commanders that have gone to war are significantly less hawkish than their inexperienced counterparts. Lacking the somber wisdom that comes from combat experience, today's PLA is all hawk and no dove.

Spain downsizes their navy under economic pressure
Spain has decommissioned 18 ships over the past six years, including the aircraft carrier Príncipe de Asturias:
Despite increased budgets and investment in certain weapon developments, the Spanish Ministry of Defence states that their overall budget has depleted by 32% since the start of the financial crisis, with 8.4 billion in the kitty in 2008, dropping to a mere 5.75 billion planned for 2014.
As a result, the Ministry says that it has no choice but to reduce costs, thus resulting in a significant reduction in high profile military elements, like the decommissioning of 18 naval ships in the past 6 years.
One of the most iconic ships to be withdrawn last year was the aircraft carrier Príncipe de Asturias, decommissioned after 25 years of service, considered a somewhat tragic sight when she arrived at the Arsenal Militar de Ferrol for final discharge from service. But as the last Captain of the vessel, Alfredo Rodríguez Fariñas, explained, modernization and maintenance of the 'Prince of Asturias' cost the MoD a hundred million per year.
Part of the strategy is the withdrawal of these costly and purpose built ships, in favour of more modern craft that meets the needs to the Navy's international mission, such as the activities in the Indian Ocean where the frigate Álvaro de Bazán and maritime action ship Tornado are currently patrolling, and the ship Cantabria, currently in the sea off the Australian coast.

Lake Michigan's carrier fleet
I'd never heard of the US Navy's carrier training ships that operated on Lake Michigan from 1942-45, so this link to a thread at Warbird Information Exchange from Roger Henry was of great interest:
This thread may give you a nice idea of what that exercise was all about. Many interesting images to study here and quite possibly of interest to those who are involved with the restoration of aircraft that have been recovered from the Lakes. I have also included a page from my dad's logbook showing his 1st thru 8th carrier landings on the USS Wolverine in July 1944. Sources are the NMNA archives, Library of Congress photo archives, LIFE image archives.
This will be a large photo thread in a few parts so we'll start with the two principal ships.
WIKI: USS Sable (IX-81) was a training ship of the United States Navy during World War II. Originally built as the Greater Buffalo, a sidewheel excursion steamer, she was converted in 1942 to a freshwater aircraft carrier to be used on the Great Lakes. She was used for advanced training for naval aviators in carrier takeoffs and landings. One aviator that trained upon the Sable was future president George H. W. Bush. Following World War II, Sable was decommissioned on 7 November 1945. She was sold for scrapping on 7 July 1948 to the H.H. Buncher Company.
I was initially surprised that both training carriers were converted side-paddle steamers … I'd have thought the extra costs in converting to propeller drive would make them less-than ideal conversion subjects — you can clearly see in the second image that they left the side-paddles in place, so the main cost of conversion was the construction of the flight deck and repositioning the smokestacks to the starboard side (no hangar deck, elevators, or catapults in evidence):
WIKI: USS Wolverine (IX-64) a side-wheel excursion steamer built in 1913—was originally named Seeandbee, a name based upon her owners' company name, the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Co.[4] She was constructed by the American Ship Building Company of Wyandotte, Michigan. The Navy acquired the sidewheeler on 12 March 1942 and designated her an unclassified miscellaneous auxiliary, IX-64. She was purchased by the Navy in March 1942 and conversion to a training aircraft carrier began on 6 May 1942.[5] The name Wolverine was approved on 2 August 1942 with the ship being commissioned on 12 August 1942.[5][6] Intended to operate on Lake Michigan, IX-64 received its name because the state of Michigan is known as the Wolverine State.
And given that almost all the pilots were still learning their trade — these were training ships, after all — there were more than a few mishaps:

Even selling the USS Forrestal for $1 was a win for the US Navy
Several people have commented about the headlines proclaiming that the very first supercarrier had been sold for a princely sum of $1, but Strategy Page explains why even that token dollar was better than all the other options:
The U.S. Navy recently sold a decommissioned (in 1993) aircraft carrier (USS Forrestal) for scrap. The ship yard that will take the Forrestal apart (All Star Metals of Texas) paid the navy one cent ($.01) for the ship. That's because this was the best deal the navy could get. That's because it will cost many millions to take the ship apart in a legal fashion (being careful to avoid releasing any real or imagined harmful substances into the environment). The other alternative was to sink the Forrestal at sea. But this requires partial disassembly (to remove anything that could or might pollute the ocean), that would be even more expensive.
Since the 1990s, sending warships to the scrap yard has not been considered a viable alternative. It's all about pollution, bad press, and cost. That was because of the experience with the largest warship to be scrapped to date, the 45,000 ton carrier USS Coral Sea. This ship took until 2000 (seven years) to be broken up. Thus, the new ecologically correct process was not only expensive but it took a long time. Then the navy discovered that the cost of scrapping a nuclear powered carrier like the USS Enterprise would be close to a billion dollars. This was largely the result of a lot more environmental and safety regulations. With so many navy ships (especially nuclear subs) being broken up in the 1990s, and all these new regulations arriving, the cost of disposing of these ships skyrocketed. This was especially true with carriers.
So for over a decade the navy just tied up retired ships and waited for some better solution to appear. That never happened. In fact, the situation has gotten worse. The navy only has one ship scrapping facility (Brownsville, Texas), so only one carrier at a time can be dismantled. Using official estimates of the time required to dismantle each of the biggest ships, it'll take seven decades to get rid of the surviving conventionally powered carriers. Note also that the conventional carrier in the absolute worst shape, the USS John F Kennedy, is the one being officially retained in category B reserve (but only until Congress forgets all about her, of course). Name recognition really does count.
It gets worse. With the really vast number of single hull tankers being scrapped and large numbers of old, smaller-capacity container ships laid up and likely to be offered for scrap fairly soon, the market for difficult-to-scrap naval ships is going to shrivel and the price for scrap steel will drop. Efforts to get the navy to include the costs of disposal in the budget for lifetime costs has never caught on and now it's obvious why not. The real nightmare begins with the first nuclear powered carrier (the 93,000 ton USS Enterprise), which began the decommissioning process in late 2012 (with the lengthy removal of all classified or reusable equipment). The cost of dismantling this ship (and disposing of radioactive components) may be close to $2 billion.

Periscope view of HMS Illustrious, courtesy HMCS Corner Brook
Submariners love other ships … as potential targets:
In 2007 HMCS Corner Brook, a diesel-electric submarine of the Canadian navy, sneaked up on Illustrious during an exercise in the Atlantic.
To prove they could have sunk the carrier, Corner Brook's crew snapped a photo through the periscope — and the Canadian navy helpfully published it. "The picture represents hard evidence that the submarine was well within attack parameters and would have been successful in an attack," boasted Cmdr. Luc Cassivi, commander of the Canadian submarine division.
Corner Brook, a former British submarine displacing only 2,400 tons, is no more capable than Dallas — and probably much less so once crew training is taken into account. American submariners spend far more time at sea than their Canadian counterparts.
Dallas and Corner Brook scored their simulated carrier kills against allied warships in the context of a scripted exercise. But many other close encounters between subs and flattops have occurred between rival nations deep at sea, in a usually bloodless duel that is nevertheless deadly serious.

Royal Navy carrier operations without carriers
Strategy Page on the Royal Navy's need to keep their carrier operation knowledge up while they wait for the first of the two new aircraft carriers to come into service:
These two decisions [switching to catapult operation, then reversing the switch] cost the Royal Navy about $115 million in additional expenses, which is a small part of the cost growth of the two carriers (from $5.8 billion in 2007 to over $8 billion now). The size of the ships has also grown, from 40,000 tons in the first plan (late 1990s), to 58,000 tons when construction started, to 70,000 tons now. There won't be much more weight increases because the first ship has had its hull largely completed and will leave dry dock next year. Sea trials are planned for 2017 and initial flight operations in 2018. Commissioning is to occur by 2020. Construction on the second carrier (the Prince of Wales) began in 2011. These are the largest warships ever built in Britain and require the efforts of some 10,000 people in 90 companies and 6 shipyards (for building sections of the ships as well as other components).
There are some other problems that required more innovative solutions. For example, in 2011, the Royal Navy retired all its Harrier aircraft and the last aircraft carrier that the Harriers operated from. That presented a problem, as the first of two new carriers won't enter service until the end of the decade. The admirals knew that once the new carrier (Queen Elizabeth) entered service a new generation of pilots would have to be trained to take off and land on a carrier. While the Harriers could land and take off like a helicopter, they often took off (via a "ski jump" flight deck) so they could carry more weight (especially bombs) into action. To deal with this Britain will have four of its naval aviators serve on American aircraft carriers over the next decade, to maintain Royal Navy knowledge of how pilots operate jet aircraft off carriers. The British naval officers will learn to fly F-18s in order to do this. While Britain and the U.S. regularly exchange fighter pilots, this is a special case. The British know from experience that it's easier to train new pilots with experienced Royal Navy carrier pilots. Thus the need to maintain that experience by having British aviators flying F-18s off American carriers until the new British carriers arrive.

When politicians meddle in defence matters
An interesting report in Herald Scotland by Kate Devlin illustrates some of the problems created when politicians make decisions without adequately consulting with the civil service:
The man in charge of equipment at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has warned officials offer "opinion" not fact on defence programmes, including the aircraft carriers being built on the Clyde, because of pressure from ministers.
In recent years the department has become notorious for overspends and procurement problems. But Bernard Gray said that civil servants in his department had "their arms put up behind their backs" to produce hasty costings for projects.
Earlier this week Mr Gray revealed that in 2010, when Tory MP Liam Fox was Defence Secretary, officials were given just hours to estimate the cost of changing the planes to fly from the carriers.
Mistakes in that process led to a humiliating U-turn by Mr Fox's replacement Philip Hammond last year and have cost the taxpayer at least £74million.
Appearing before a separate committee of MPs, Mr Gray said officials should have been given six months, not a day, to complete the work. He said what was eventually provided was "opinion".
"People (within the MoD) come under pressure, with people saying, 'Everybody wants to know, we have to have an answer today,'" he said.

Construction report on HMS Queen Elizabeth
BBC News had a report on the aircraft that are supposed to be available for HMS Queen Elizabeth when she is brought into Royal Navy service later this decade. They also included an older video on the state of the ship's construction, which happily had been posted to YouTube (most BBC videos at their site are non-embeddable):
Published on 10 May 2013
Work on the first of the Royal Navy's two new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers is well under way at a dockyard in Rosyth.
The structure is almost complete in what is now the largest engineering project in the UK.
A government U-turn over fighter jets for the carriers cost taxpayers £74m, according to a new report by the National Audit Office.
The BBC's Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale saw the progress being made on the ship.
The Press Association also had a video from June:

More on Britain's aircraft carrier program
The always informative Sir Humphrey responds to yesterday's Daily Mail and other media reports on the CVF program:
The first thing that struck the author on reading it was that it highlighted the challenges posed in bringing any large piece of equipment into service. There was a lot of comments about the risk posed to the UK by not having the so-called 'Crowsnest' AEW capability in service until 2022 which left the platform at risk. It is very easy to focus on the idea that a carrier is late, and that is a relatively simple piece of kit, so why should it take so long to bring into service? In reality the introduction into service of CVF is a watershed moment for the Royal Navy — it will represent a step change in capability, and merge together several very different capabilities which the RN has either not operated for a while, or which it has not operated at all. At its heart the RN is having to simultaneously introduce a brand new class of ship into service, with all the technical risk that this entails. This is then backed up by the near simultaneous introduction into service of the most technically advanced jet the UK has ever operated, and also bring the UK back into the world of fixed wing carrier operations, a skill which even with the mitigation measures in place will still be a challenge to regain. Its also about bringing a new AEW platform into service, after a near 6 year gap in cover, and again with all the very considerable technical risk posed by this. Finally its about bringing the whole package together and working with the rest of the RN to ensure that what exists isn't just a collection of equipment of very levels of operational utility and capability, but is in fact a fully worked up and integrated system which has an effect far beyond the sum of its parts.
One thing that reads through very clearly in the evidence is the clear emphasis that CVF is seen as a joint asset for Coalition operations. While obviously it provides a national capability in extremis, it is clear that provision of a CVF hull and airwing is seen as a major means of the UK working with coalition partners. This is an important part of the reality of future naval operations — while we like to fondly imagine that CVF provides the UK with the ability to work in isolation, in reality its an asset that will provide great influence in coalition work. The evidence is clear that in future the UK sees provision of CVF on operations as being part of a wider multi-national force, and particularly early in its life, there is an expectation that capability gaps such as AEW would be met either by working with partner nations, or by wider UK assets (e.g. AEW Sentry).
This is important as it highlights the gradual shift in UK thinking away from funding the provision of an entire wholesale package of capabilities into assuming that risks can be taken in some areas. When one reads the evidence though, it is suddenly clear how far fetched the scenarios sound — for instance it was only under heavy questioning, when the line of assumptions reached 'fighting an enemy with French and US cover in high seas away from landbased cover' did we discover that the RN may struggle a wee bit without CROWSNEST. One would hope that between 2020 and 2022 the RN is not going to be re-enacting scenes from a Tom Clancy novel?
September 3, 2013
Britain's new aircraft carriers in the news again
It's from the Daily Mail, so a certain level of de-hystericization is called for…along with salt to taste. First, the discovery that the two carriers will initially be without radar for early warning of incoming planes and missiles:
The Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers could set sail without a crucial radar which warns commanders of incoming enemy warplanes and missiles.
A damning report by MPs reveals the Crowsnest early warning system will not be ready until six years after the first of the £5.5billion Queen Elizabeth-class warships enters service in 2016.
Delays in fitting the 'eyes in the sky' system to military helicopters until 2022 were a 'concern', the Commons' Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says today.
And the costs incurred by changing the planned acquisition of F-35 aircraft to equip the carriers is rather eye-watering:
The bill for the two new warships, given the green light in 2008, is almost twice the original £3.6billion — and there are 'huge risks' it will increase further, says the report.
MPs heap criticism on the Coalition for wasting money after a U-turn over the type of warplanes to fly from the aircraft carriers.
In 2010 ministers controversially decided to scrap the last Labour government's plans to buy a fleet of jump jets, which take off and land vertically.
Instead, Prime Minister David Cameron ordered conventional versions of the US-built F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that would need catapults and arrester gear to take off from and land on the vessels.
But this was based on 'deeply flawed information', say the committee. When the cost of fitting the ships with 'cats and traps' more than doubled to £2billion, Mr Cameron flip-flopped and returned to buying the jump jet.
The move cost a staggering £74million in squandered in lost man hours, administrative costs and needless planning.
Labour MP Margaret Hodge, the PAC's chairman, said: 'The Committee is still not convinced that the MOD has this programme under control. It remains subject to huge technical and commercial risks, with the potential for further uncontrolled growth in costs.'
The switch back to the jump jet was made last year. Back in 2010, I was rather pessimistic that the carriers would even be built and I suggested that India would likely take them off the Royal Navy's hands once they were complete.
August 29, 2013
The US Navy's overstretch
Sir Humphrey points out that the Syrian situation actually shows how thin the US Navy's resources have become:
This crisis has been dominated by impressive images of US warships firing cruise missiles, and maps showing large warships steaming menacingly in the Eastern Med. Publicly we know that four USN escorts are currently in the region, each armed with a significant quantity of missiles. What is so striking though is how this illustrates just how thinly stretched the USN is these days. Until the end of the Cold War, the Med was practically a British, then US lake. Dominated by naval bases, and home to large numbers of carriers, escorts and other vessels, any crisis would quickly have seen an almost overwhelming concentration of US firepower.
Today, the 6th Fleet has no permanently assigned escorts, and is instead reliant on other vessels transiting the area. At present it seems that three US vessels were in the area (although it is unclear I they were taken off other tasks) and one more has joined them. This is the totality of the US escort fleet in the Med (and quite possibly Europe as a whole). It is telling that there is no carrier deployed in the AOR, and that the next nearest escorts and Carrier are deployed in the Gulf. Although they could move, this would leave the Arabian Gulf without a carrier, and it is questionable whether any commander would be willing to see a CVN conduct a Suez transit right now, particularly if strikes against Syria are occurring. Partly this is a result of fewer ships, and also an impact of sequestration, where planned deployments were cancelled. The harsh reality though is that US naval power has been heavily emasculated — claims of the Med being a US lake are simply no longer true.
The worry is that this problem is only going to get worse with time; the USN faces a major challenge in keeping hull numbers up, and more importantly maintained to a reasonable level. The challenge of handling major budget cuts is that this sort of presence will inevitably be reduced. So, perhaps closer attention should be paid to how the US is meeting the response, as this is likely to be the sort of thing we'll see in future — not overwhelming numbers of ships and aircraft, but a small number of escorts, taken off other tasks in order to do the job. One lesson is clear — the USN remains an immensely potent navy, but its ability to project the sort of power that the world is used to is perhaps far less than many realise.

By now you have probably seen that SNAFU at Snowbasin resort in Utah, where an over-zealous ski instructor harshed on some kids and dropped the f-bomb on camera while threatening to clip their passes; the most recent and visible example of poor customer service. Although nobody is perfect and it isn't fair to judge the entire ski resort based on the actions of a single employee, as an employee you are the face of the resort, and the resort/management will have to deal with the repercussions. In cases like these, it is not necessarily how the individual on-the-scene handled themselves (poorly!), but rather, how the resort management reacts to the negative press, how they compose themselves and respond to the pressure.
Well here's another customer service issue that didn't grab any headlines because there's no video, no f-bombs, no skiers vs. snowboarders, but it's poor customer service anyways, at Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico (click to expand, or read the full-text here).
I put the word out about this on Twitter, to Angel Fire resort and they responded, thanking me for tipping them off and also mentioning they were "moving it along to the right people". With that, and since the OP had been called once by a manager who was "gathering facts" it seemed like they were actually doing something to remedy the situation. Unfortunately:
I went to the front desk twice on Monday with no help. Called twice on Tuesday with no help. Finally got a call Wednesday afternoon. Expected a call from them today but of course… didnt get one.
Someone from Angel Fire took the time to leave a cop-out, canned response on Yelp.
…Obviously a guest here had issue with the way his interaction with our bar staff played out. We're reviewing it. Our staff is asked to err on the side of caution when it comes to maintaining a family-friendly environment in our restaurants that serve alcohol, and we know them to be good people trying their very best. We're reviewing the decisions made and the follow-up. Ultimately we regret for any small incident to dampen such a great ski day.
My question is how long does it take to "gather the facts" and "review the decisions". This isn't rocket science it's customer service and if you think you're anything more complicated than a McDonald's or an Applebee's, you're off your rocker.
With the exception of the "talking loudly" to voice his displeasure part, which I know from experience it rarely works, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what they did. These guests had a terrible customer service experience at a facility which is in the business of providing customer service. As overnight guests, they were pretty much captive so they tried and tried to escalate and were met with the run-around at every step of the way.
It shouldn't be difficult to make this right, but Angel Fire Resort seems determined not to address the problem even though they've had every opportunity to do so.
I will update this if there are any developments, but the last I heard, the marketing director has offered a few freebie lift tickets, which in my opinion is a total cop-out. Lift tickets cost the resort nothing, and anyone with rank (like a marketing director) can pull free lift tickets without a paper trail so it's a convenient way to shut most people up without really doing anything.
UPDATE: As of January 6, 2012 I'm told that the guy and his friend have both been comped a pair of lift tickets and dinner, and that they've been told that both "Managers" in the story above have been let go and are no longer employees of Angelfire Resort. Although I don't take any particular joy in this news and I don't like to hear about people losing their jobs especially in this economy, it may have been warranted in these circumstances. Unfortunately it took 3+ weeks to straighten this all out.

You can do the same thing if you have paint brushes, artists pencils, craft scissors, or anything that sinks too low in the container you want to use. Just find a can that is a tiny bit smaller in circumference but raises the bottom up to meet the need. N-JOY!

Surveillance camera installation on hold
Date: January 20, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The installation of the Five Points Park surveillance camera was supposed to be complete this month, but an unexpected cost has caused a delay.
Lt. Jeff Karr, who is overseeing the project for the police department, said he was unaware that a $2,800 engineering study was required before the camera can be placed on a pole.
The Downtown Improvement District paid more than $13,000 for the wireless camera at Five Points Park, which is intended primarily to monitor transient crime.
Karr is trying to secure funds for the $2,800 fee.

Broncos have $4.9 million cap space to play with
#Broncos currently have $8.8 million in cap space and need $3.9M to sign rookies. Sources: http://t.co/8KkWJsfD3a , http://t.co/A6sLKiE4Wu— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) March 28, 2013
The Broncos are sitting at $8.8 million under the cap per PFT, but need over $3.9 million to sign their 2013 rookie class. That leaves them roughly $4.9 million to play with in free agency, should they choose to.
