Giffords Circus brings magic of village show to Selfridges department store
Updated 10:27am Thursday 19th December 2013 in News By Kate Wilson, Reporter
The cast of Giffords Circus winter show which will be delighting shoppers at Selfridges department store in the run up to Christmas
GIFFORDS Circus has been entertaining families in the Cotswolds for 13 years. Now the owners will share the magic of their village show with shoppers at the iconic London department store Selfridges.
Kate Wilson was given a preview of the show before it hit the shop floor and left understanding why it's called 'the greatest show on earth'.
WHEN I think of the circus I think big – I think lions, elephants and acrobats who fly through the air on trapezes spinning and flipping in all different directions.
This is not what I saw when I was invited for a sneak peek preview of Giffords winter show at their headquarters in Bourton-on-Water.
Instead I witnessed something much more traditional that was akin to a 20th century village green performance and yet I was overwhelmed by the wonderful simplicity of the show that kept me laughing throughout.
Toti and Nell Gifford's vision of a miniature village green circus designed for rural families and farmers, has taken on a new challenge entertaining shoppers at the Oxford Street department store in the run up to Christmas – all be it without the show's staple feature, it's animals.
"Even though we can't use our famous horses in the show we have still tried to bring some of the early 20th century magic back to the department store," said Toti.
Juggling duo Bibi and Bichu are the only two members of the cast who have done any kind of street performing before so are quite prepared to deal with a crowd who may be more concerned with last minute Christmas shopping rather than the performance.
However, as I watch the pair catch juggling clubs on their heads and balance them on their noses while their fellow cast members perform snippets of songs from the great Russian composers, I am certain that this group of performers will have no problem drawing in the crowds.
The cast is performing a 15-minute show twice every hour, seven days a week on the fourth floor of Selfridges until Christmas Eve. A replica Big Top has been created by the Giffords' art team to give visitors the feel of being at the circus, rather than a top end department store.
Director Cal McCrystal said that although they would be doing nearly 250 performances every show would be different. And as I left the make-shift Big Top near Folly Farm fully wrapped up in the Giffords magic I found myself wondering if I could catch the next show in London.

Funny how they only pitch up in areas of high wealth?
Should have packed a pick-axe if they were looking to dig for gold

Horses and dogs are domesticated.
I'd rather have them getting the mental and physical stimulation of learning a routine than fat and bored like most dogs are these days.

Queen to greet UAE president
The United Arab Emirates president will join the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle today as part of a state visit. It comes a day after three British men were jailed over drugs offences in Dubai after alleging they were abused by police.
Reprieve: Dubai must 'release' Britons after 'torture'
Human rights charity Reprieve, who supported the three British men jailed in Dubai, has released a statement on the verdict:
– Reprieve investigator Kate Higham
The central fact of this case remains that these men were tortured by police, but there has been no proper investigation into their abuse.
The only reasonable course of action for the UAE authorities now is to grant these men clemency, release them and allow them to return home to their families.
David Cameron must push for this when UAE President Sheikh Khalifa arrives on a state visit tomorrow.
It also remains essentail that the UAE conduct an impartial investigation into these men's torture, and ensure it is never allowed to happen again.
Three British men sentenced to four years in jail
Three British men from East London have been given four year jail sentences for drug offences by a court in Dubai this morning.Read the full story
Briton in Dubai prison facing 'quite harsh conditions'
The mother of Grant Cameron, one of the men jailed in Dubai, told Sky News she had seen her son for two hours last week.
Tracy Cameron said he is being held in a maximum security prison in what are "quite harsh conditions", but that he has access to exercise.
Mother: 'I am absolutely ecstatic' with the result
The mother of one of the men jailed sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of drug offences has told Daybreak she is "absolutely ecstatic".
– Tracey Cameron, Grant Cameron's mother
It might sound alarming to us in the Western world, but I am absolutely ecstatic with that information, short of my son walking free from the courtroom today that is the best possible news that I could be given this morning.
– Tracey Cameron, Grant Cameron's mother
We are hoping that the UAE Government will intervene and they will receive a pardon and I'm hopeful that my son will be home with his family by the end of the year.
Dubai court sentences three Britons to four years in jail
Three British men have been found guilty of drugs offences by a court in Dubai and sentenced to four years in prison.
Grant Cameron and Suneet Jeerh, both 25, and Karl Williams, 26, were arrested while on holiday in July last year after police claimed to have found drugs in their car.
They allege that they were tortured by police officers after their arrest.

Mother describes 'horror' of son's 'torture' in Dubai
The mother of a British man accused of drug offences in Dubai has spoken of her "sheer horror" when told of his alleged torture by police.
Tracy Cameron's son Grant and his friends Suneet Jeerh and Karl Williams were arrested while on holiday last year by police who claimed to have found a quantity of a synthetic cannabis known as "spice" in their car.
They have claimed that they were beaten and given electric shocks.
Ms Cameron told the BBC: "Grant sustained electric shocks to his torso and I believe Suneet had shocks administered to him to the back of his head and his back."
"I believe all boys had guns held to their head - they were told they were going to die."
The men have denied charged of "consumption and possession with intent to distribute". A verdict in their trial is expected tomorrow.
FCO: Dubai torture allegations being taken 'seriously'
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office takes all allegations of mistreatment and torture extremely seriously, and acts with a sense of urgency in all cases.
We have been providing consular assistance to three British nationals detained in the UAE since July 2012, and are aware of their allegations of mistreatment.
– Foreign Office spokeswoman
We have raised, and continue to raise, these allegations at the most senior levels in person and through diplomatic channels, including through ministers.
We requested a full, impartial and independent investigation into the allegations, and have now received some details of a UAE investigation.
However, we are concerned about aspects of this and are formally raising these with the Emirati authorities.
Cameron: 'Torture of British tourists is a concern'
The Prime Minister has expressed concern about the treatment of three British tourists who allege they were tortured by police in Dubai into making confessions, ahead of a state visit by the region's rulers .
Grant Cameron and Karl Williams both from London and Suneet Jeerh were detained on the 10th July 2012 and claim they were subjected to beatings and electric shocks.
United Arab Emirates authorities have consistently denied that the men were tortured by the police.
In a letter to the human rights charity Reprieve, David Cameron said: "Our concerns about the allegations of torture…have been repeatedly raised with the Emirati authorities. We continue to press for evidence of a full, impartial and independent investigation."

And now youve given me the needed proof that you are. I can now say he did something you would probably never do: he saved someone. Ever since I started to listen to ML Ive considered you my hero. No, I haven't met you, but all those peeps saying you are a cool chap can't be wrong. Because of you I actually decided to learn how to play guitar, and Im so glad I did. Like your brother said you are an angel. What you did that day, just proved to other people that you are something, that us, fans, already knew, something they would probably never be - a hero. I think saying youre amazing just doesnt do the thing. Youre more than that. All the words in this universe cant explain how amazing you are. Again you are a true hero.

Published: 15 February 2012
London Luton Airport Operations Limited welcomes the Council's ambition to expand London Luton Airport and increase passenger numbers which will make a valuable contribution to the local economy and employment.
As London Luton Airport's operator, we have already trebled the number of passengers using the airport from 3.4 million in 1998 to 10 million today. That is market leading growth compared to other UK airports. Under our stewardship, London Luton Airport has become the fifth largest airport in the UK and was the fastest growing London airport in 2011.
From our initial review of the Council's plans we have identified a number of concerns that raise vital questions which must be addressed in the Council's consultation:
Feasibility 1. If the Council decides to terminate our Concession in order to implement its proposals, it will have to make a termination payment to us reflecting the value of the remaining years of the Concession and certain other liabilities. Such a payment would be very substantial. How would this termination payment be funded and are the Council's proposals feasible when the payment is taken into account?
2. The Department for Transport forecasts long term UK passenger growth at 2% per year. Its 2050 forecast for London Luton Airport is 17 million passengers per year. Who is going to cover the cost if passenger numbers do not reach the level provided for in the Council's plan? Will prices to airlines have to increase dramatically to pay for this plan?
Environment 3. What would be the full environmental impact of the Council's plan? In particular, what would be the impact on noise and air quality associated with the proposed airfield development which could increase flights by 275 per day? Indeed, our analysis suggests that the proposed airfield could facilitate significantly more than 18 million passengers per year.
Passenger experience 4. The Council's plan for an annual throughput of 18 million passengers is twice that of 2010, making London Luton Airport bigger than Manchester and Stansted airports. In the Council's plan only a small amount of new terminal build is proposed. What level of congestion and throughput during the busiest hours does the Council think is acceptable to passengers?
Jobs5. What is the future for cargo and corporate aviation and the many skilled jobs they support, both directly and indirectly? The Council's plan appears to show the existing cargo and some corporate aviation aprons will be converted to passenger apron.
As the successful operator, we continue to operate London Luton Airport in the normal course of business. As evidenced by the airport developments and related improvements delivered by us to date, we firmly believe that further development must be based on the core considerations of safety, feasibility, sustainability and environmental sensitivity. We will therefore publish our own detailed proposal for the further expansion of London Luton Airport during the second half of the month. Our plan will directly address those core considerations, providing a safe, credible and sustainable route to the early development of this vital part of the local and regional economy and a principal source of increased employment and local prosperity.
For more information please contact: Cardew Group – 020 7930 0777 or London Luton Airport Press Office – email@example.com
Notes to Editors
London Luton Airport is operated and developed by London Luton Airport Operations Limited ('LLAOL'), a consortium of which Abertis Infraestructuras, a leading European infrastructure provider, is a 90 per cent majority shareholder and Aena Internacional, the international business arm of Aena - the Spanish national airport and air traffic control organisation, is a 10 per cent shareholder.
London Luton is now the fifth largest airport in the UK, and one of the fastest growing, carrying almost 10 million passengers in 2011. The Airport employs over 500 staff, is a key economic driver for the region and a major base for 'low cost' or 'no frills' air travel.
easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Monarch, Thomson, Aer Arann, EL AL, Blue Air and Flybe operate from the airport, departing to over 90 destinations including services to Europe, Africa, and Asia, with onward connections to Mumbai, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Beijing and Bangkok via Tel Aviv.

2013 Château de Ripaille Vin de Savoie-Ripaille
Review Date: 7-29-2014
Have you ever stood next to a mountain stream and wanted a wine to have that fresh vibrant quality? Probably not, but if you did, this would be the wine. This 100% Chasselas is the epitome of alpine freshness. Light citrus notes, good viscosity, tons of clean minerality, it's pretty brilliant stuff. It's freshness personified.
Price: $11.99
2012 JP & JF Quénard "Les Damoiselles" Vin de Savoie-Chignin Bergeron
Review Date: 7-29-2014
My favorite Roussanne (the local name in Savoie is Bergeron) on its own as a grape variety is Beaucastel's Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Vieilles Vignes. With that wine approaching the $200 mark, I can't say it is a fair comparison, but for about 10% of that cost, you can get a LOT of wine in the "Les Damoiselles." What I'm trying to say is, this is one of the sexiest, most intriguing Roussannes on the market at any price. Copious amounts of stone fruit flavors with notes of dried mango and a nice thread of chalky minerality. You gotta try it.
Price: $19.99
2012 Charles Trosset Mondeuse "Prestige des Arpents" Vin de Savoie-Arbin
Review Date: 7-29-2014
Mondeuse has become one of my favorite reds. It has the spice box qualities you find in aged Syrah, the tobacco of old school Grenache and the floral lifted qualities of crazy northern Italian reds. Trosset is a genius with the grape and makes one of the best. It's like walking into a Penzey's Spices. It's floral with violets and lavender, spicy with pink peppercorns, crazy with celery seed and meaty enough and fruity enough to keep it from being too dramatic. Give this a shot, you won't regret it.
Price: $24.99
2010 Louis Magnin Gamay Vin de Savoie
Review Date: 7-29-2014
From one of Savoies greatest producers, this is one of the most fascinating and complex Gamays you are likely to drink. This holds its own amongst Beaujolais greats like Foillard and Thevenet. This has a beautiful core of wild strawberry fruit with subtle game and earthy nuances. Dont think of this as a substitute for great Beaujolais, its entirely its own thing and well worth the price.
Price: $36.99
2012 Franck Peillot "Altesse" Roussette de Bugey-Montagnieu
Review Date: 7-29-2014
Peillot as a producer is truly special. You would pay $50-$100 for wines of the caliber in Burgundy and yet for $23, you get something authentic and unique. This has beautiful quince notes with candied apple flavors. This is a wine of length and finesse. The region of Bugey-Montagnieu is famous for the Poulet de la Bresse, a chicken that has its own regional designation. I can think of nothing better than a beautiful roasted bird to go with this wine.
Price: $22.99
2012 Domaine de Bila Haut "Occultum Lapidem" Côtes du Roussillon-Villages
Review Date: 7-24-2014
Michel Chapoutier has knocked it out of the park again with this sumptuous and full bodied red. Fans of Orin Swift and Michel Rolland should find a lot to like here. Deep blue fruit flavors with polished tannins. Spicy floral notes with a lingering finish. Still retains focus and balance and never gets heady. Treat this as your bold summer red for barbecues or save a few bottles for those braised dishes in the fall and winter. You can't possibly go wrong.
Price: $26.99
2012 J-L Chave Selection "Celeste" Saint-Joseph Blanc
Review Date: 7-3-2014
Based on Roussanne, this is very intriguing white wine. It has notes of nectarine, honeycomb and beeswax. There is ample acidity to balance the wonderfully creamy texture. Fans of northern Rhone whites will find much to like here whether you drink Hermitage Blanc or Chateauneuf Blanc. Don't miss it.
Price: $34.99
2012 J.L. Chave Selection "Mon Coeur" Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 7-3-2014
The Mon Coeur is based on a majority of Syrah with the rest Grenache. It has beautiful blackberry and blueberry notes with classic spicebox aromas. It is always one of my favorite Cotes du Rhones.
Price: $19.99
2012 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 7-2-2014
Classically rich and full bodied. Lots of lush currant fruit and black cherry too. You can see the excitement behind the 2012 vintage showing through with this luscious and delicious domestic Cabernet. Very pleasing style.
Price: $22.99
2005 Château de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 7-2-2014
This has a lovely nose of cola and mushrooms with notes of dried leaves and dried raspberries. On the palate the complexities really come out with a solid core of raspberry fruit. There's still enough stuffing to keep this going for a few more years. A phenomenal steal when you factor in the cellaring and perfect provenance of this wine.
Price: $21.99
2012 Back Nine Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 4-21-2014
Rich apple and pear fruit surround the buttery rich texture and toasty oak notes. There is a solid core of acid in here to keep the wine focused and in balance. Definitely the best of its kind for this price.
Price: $16.99
2011 Foley Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Review Date: 2-4-2014
Loads of raspberry and cherry fruit with a lovely spicebox quality. Notes of cinnamon and clove as well. This is clean and fresh Pinot Noir that says, "I am from the Santa Rita Hills and proud of it." Nicely balanced and delightful with food. Pair it with some duck legs braised in wine and cherries. Yum!
Price: $24.99
2011 Foley Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
Review Date: 2-4-2014
Tropical notes of papaya, mango and pineapple lift the nose of this clean and expressive Chardonnay. It also has a rich texture but enough bright acidity to keep it focused, plus it has toasty notes that are in no way overdone. This is the "just right" expression of Central Coast Chardonnay and a pleasure to drink.
Price: $19.99
2012 Sandhi Santa Barbara County Chardonnay
Review Date: 2-4-2014
Sashi Moorman and Raj Parr have hit it out of the park with this outstanding expression of Santa Barbara County Chardonnay. Long on ripe pear and apple flavors there is a vibrancy to the wine that lingers on the palate. Dare I say mineral? Having recently tasted their '13s out of barrel, I can say without a doubt there are many great things to come from this duo.
Price: $32.99
2011 Château de la Charrière Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc "Vermots Dessus" Domaine Yves Girardin
Review Date: 2-2-2014
Loads of green apple with crunch minerality, allspice and cardamom notes. Medium to full bodied for chardonnay but with the vibrancy of 2011's acid structure. Great now but forget a couple of bottles and open them 2 or 3 years down the road for a fantastic treat.
Price: $23.99

"Trust is Bust"
How many of us can say either that we've heard the expression, "Trust is Bust" or similitude's to that saying with emotion often felt, "the minute I trusted you, and "You can win a girls heart, but you must earn her Trust, and just one more for the proverbial impact point "And I trusted you!"?
Now for the reasons of this particular writing we need to ask how many of those who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 even considered "Trust". Okay now it is four years later and to everyone who reads this article we ask the same question, "How many of you still trust Barack Obama?"
The reasons that this issue is even being brought up is that no matter who it was, or when it was, or even how it was, this Nation has never been faced with the lack of trust this President Obama has earned all on his own.
Yes, he earned it through smashing the US Constitution, bribing fellow legislators in the House and Senate, is there anyone who can allow us with certainty proof of where Obama was even born? I think we all know the answer to that question. Inasmuch as it took the U.S. government in excess of three years with a team of lawyers for Obama to produce his first "real" long form birth certificate from Hawaii. And to this day every forensic expert who has examined the document can openly state – as many have, under oath, that it too was a fake.
We have mentioned and alerted caution regarding what are referred to as the "Rules of Engagement" or how our soldiers are supposed to let Taliban members, al Qaeda members, and any other violent sub-groups of these off-shoots have the right of way so to speak.
We have pointed out that the war is illegal and that the media—and now the House Republican leaders—have failed to acknowledge the facts.
On the other hand, there is growing media fascination with "Weinergate," in which the Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner has obviously stalled about the origin and distribution of a lewd photo sent to a coed.
In contrast to the Weiner affair, the facts about Obama's violations of the law and the Constitution are clear.
If Weiner should be held accountable for an embarrassing sexual matter, why not enforce the law and the Constitution when the president goes to war and the manner in which he orders it.
Columnist Ann Coulter jokes that the Weiner case should go to small claims court. Obama's war in Libya is a matter of the highest constitutional importance and not a joking matter.
House leaders could bring impeachment charges. Instead, they want to avoid doing their duty.
The Wall Street Journal reports, "House Republican leaders on Wednesday abruptly canceled a vote on a resolution forcing U.S. withdrawal from Libya amid signs" that it would pass. House GOP leaders "fend off vote on Libya resolution," The Washington Post proclaims.
"U.S. House leaders pulled a bill calling for the U.S. military to withdraw from Libya after a group of liberals and conservatives said they back the measure," UPI noted.
The bad news is the War on Terror is still a part of daily life. The worse news is our elected leaders are so confused about who the enemy is that we're funding both sides; subsequently, all sides in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya are still receiving it the list is quite a bit longer should I continue?

I got so excited/ confused on Friday that I posted and tweeted this post before I realised my mistake. I think a good book does that to you and crazy kids ;) Thanks so much to Freeda for letting me read her novel Call of the Cadron it is a stunning story and I read it so fast.
Here's a synopsis:
Concerned for her rebellious teenage sister, Jordan meets the challenge and steps in to prevent Shelley's marriage to an unworthy man whose lifestyle threatens to involve her with use of and trafficking illegal drugs.
Later, facing an evil man who attacks the very heart of the family in a broad-daylight kidnapping of her little sister, Jordan remains true to herself in her sacrifice to meet the ransom.
I feel awful for spoiling the plot now, but I had to show you how compelling it is. There are wonderful metaphors peppered throughout so it is a fitting tribute to Metaphor Monday.
Whether it's metaphors you conjure up or a poem feel free to post in the comments and if anyone would like to do what Penny did last week and write a poem with it all in do volunteer :)
Turkish drink for all. (Apparently Turquoise is Turkish)

Alex is god
I seen him play with CC at Wacken this year
Unfortunately they couldnt play Hammer Smashed Face because its banned in Germany so I didnt get to hear the bass at the start which I love so much
As someone said, Steve Digiorgio is also amazing. I think Alex excels at rhythm and generally being able to play any riff (you try playing Dead Human Collection accurately and fast!) that CC write, Digiorgio is more melodic and his work on The Fragile Art of Existence (Control Denied) shows that.

I started writing a blog post about the relationship between data, power and storytelling, and it became obvious it was too long to post as a single thing. So I'm experimenting with posting it as a series: here's part 1. The whole piece will end up on Freaky Trigger, in semi-edited form.
In the last few months, I've been involved in an increasing number of conversations about "behavioural economics". I work for a company which is developing ways of the learnings of this vogueish, elusive discipline to market research, and so a lot of said conversations are about that. But some of them centre on a slightly different question: why now?
Within research, this question is a particularly sharp one. The idea that if you ask someone a direct question, you won't always get a correct answer is not new. In fact when I started working in research it was one of the first things drummed into me. Research has blamed a lot of things for this – faulty memory, imprecise questioning, social norms, interviewer effects, and so on. And it's used an awful lot of tactics to get around this – indirect measurements, qualitative probes, numbingly precise question language. And in a sense, yes, the current bugbear – our innate irrationality – just puts a new costume on the same challenge.
But that isn't really what makes the "why now?" question interesting. The behavioural science that writers like Dan Ariely have popularised over the last few years is rooted in studies which span several decades: the cognitive biases that shape human thinking aren't new discoveries. What is it that's made their implications so urgent and fascinating to businessmen right now? Why is irrationality hot?
In one sense, the roots are fairly obvious. The success and celebrity of Malcolm Gladwell at the end of the 90s brought social science into publisher focus: Predictably Irrational and Freakonomics were beneficiaries. So far so frothy, but the knock-on effect meant that more prescriptive titles, like Nudge and The Black Swan, got into the headspace of policymakers and marketers alike. You don't actually need to look much beyond copycat effects to answer the question.
But there's more than that going on. The effect of all these ideas, all this irrationalism on that marketer's headspace is to give it an intoxicating injection of doubt: 'consumer behaviour' – that flat old phrase denoting a smoothly ironed reality – suddenly becomes treacherous and, at the same time, fascinating again. Secret techniques manipulate our choices. Common sense is a lie. World-changing events lurk, dragon-like, at the edges of our models. And this thinking becomes popular at the same time as Western financial stability seems to buckle and corrode.
Behavioural economics – or the populist cousin of it which invaded airport book racks and business reading lists last decade – tells a double story. First, it tells the story of how unconscious forces and biases act on people – but in revealing this story it's also beginning a second one: how understanding this can help you master consumer behaviour all over again. This second story – a tale of secret knowledge, a kind of marketing gnosis – is a very old one, but no less seductive for that.

The Alberta Teachers' Association has disengaged from tripartite discussions intended to conclude a framework agreement that would provide a structure for concluding collective agreements between individual school boards and teacher bargaining units. Does this mean the Association is refusing to participate in further discussions with government and school boards or that an agreement is impossible?
No. The Alberta Teachers' Association is not closing the door to future discussions with the government and/or school boards, and its decision to disengage from the tripartite process is intended to bring about an agreement.
The final decision by the Association's Provincial Executive Council to disengage from the tripartite process was made only after government had indicated that the Association's proposal was unacceptable and on the day that both the Minister and President of the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) had previously indicated was the deadline for concluding an agreement. After 20 meetings over the course of four months, there was really nothing more the Association could offer government or the ASBA to make the agreement work, nor was there any indication that either of the other two parties was prepared to move dramatically to achieve a solution.
Under the circumstances, the elected leadership of the Association decided it needed to inform its members of the proposal it was advancing on their behalf, and break the tripartite log-jam by bringing what the Association believes to be a fair and reasonable solution to the notice of Premier Redford and the public. Neither was possible within the constraints of the formal tripartite process.
In taking this bold step, the Association is hoping that the Premier will recognize, even if others may not, that the teachers' proposal achieves the fiscal goals of government, ensures cost containment for school boards, secures meaningful improvements in the conditions of teachers' professional practice and provides stability for Alberta's students and their families. This is a proposal that Premier Redford should embrace and an opportunity for her to demonstrate real leadership and vision.
If government and/or school boards want to engage in further discussions, the Association is certainly willing to listen to what they have to say, but frankly, the tripartite process has run its course and it is time to make a decision. If an agreement is possible, then the parties will need to move immediately to finalize and implement it. If an agreement is not possible, then teacher bargaining units and school boards need to be freed to engage in unrestricted local collective bargaining.

Prince George to install cameras to catch school bus passers
PRINCE GEORGE - More drivers attempting to go around stopped school buses may find themselves facing fines as several Prince George County school buses become outfitted with cameras.
Prince George joins school districts in Hopewell and Dinwiddie county that are experimenting with the school bus cameras in an effort to combat the problem of cars passing stopped school buses.
The Board of Supervisors cleared the final governmental hurdle to install the cameras when they unanimously approved an ordinance change Jan. 8. The change will allow the Prince George School Board to enter into a contract with Smart Bus Live, a subsidiary of Redflex, for a four-month trial period.
Smart Bus Live is installing the cameras at its own expense. During the trial period, violators caught by the video monitoring system will simply be warned. If the county decides to enter into a permanent contract with Redflex, violators will face a $250 fine, according to County Administrator Percy Ashcraft.
Under a permanent contract, Smart Bus Live will garner a majority, $165, of the $250 payments. One-third of the $250 fine, or $85, will go toward the school system.
According to Prince George County records, fine payment does not constitute a criminal conviction and no points will be assessed against the driver's license.
Any violators witnessed directly by police will still be issued a ticket.
"If police officers see someone pass, he's going to go and give someone a ticket," Ashcraft said. "But if that person is caught on camera, they will be warned during the trial period."
Redflex will install the cameras at the external side and rear of up to five buses who travel on routes along U.S. Route 460, Va. Route 156, Courthouse Road and Va. Route 10, said Superintendant Dr. Bobby Browder.
The cameras will take pictures of license plates of vehicles illegally passing stopped school buses.
Virginia law states that "a person driving a motor vehicle shall stop such vehicle when approaching, from any direction, any school bus which is stopped on any highway, private road or school driveway ... and shall remain stopped until all the persons are clear of the highway, private road or school driveway and the bus is put in motion; any person violating the foregoing is guilty of reckless driving."
"If the bus comes to a complete stop, with the arm out, then those are indications that the bus is stopped. All aspects of the bus being stopped is the true established method for determining when a bus is stopped," Browder said.
Records of traffic violations during the trial period will help county officials determine if the problem is significant enough to warrant a permanent recording system.
Browder said that about 10 to 15 passing violations are reported each year, which was not enough for him to call it a problem given the fact that the county operates 92 buses each day. The main obstacle that the cameras will help overcome is deciding if someone is guilty of illegally passing a school bus.
"Before, the reports were basically word of mouth, and it was the word of one driver against the other," Browder said. "With video enforcement, we will be able to better enforce the law."
Prince George is not the only county that has recently installed bus cameras. Dinwiddie County and Hopewell have entered into a trial period with Smart Bus Live, and are hoping that the cameras will make an impact on what they consider a significant problem.
"Out here, they pass buses on Route 1, and even in the subdivisions," said Dinwiddie Director of Transportation Edward Tucker. "I don't know if people realize the danger they are putting children and themselves in."
Dinwiddie County officials entered into the trial period at the end of August, and will be deciding within the next couple of weeks whether to continue with the program.
Allen Buford, the director of transportation for Hopewell, was confident that the cameras will more effectively tackle a widespread problem. Hopewell installed cameras on several school buses at the beginning of the year.
"Drivers would call in and tell us, and I had gone to court on a couple of occasions," Buford said. "It's a big problem across the state."

U.S. Department of Transportation officials may require auto makers to equip new cars and trucks with anti-collision technology.
The technology allows vehicles to communicate with each other over radio waves similar to Wi-Fi.
Federal officials said this vehicle-to-vehicle communication could transform traffic safety.
They estimate the technology could prevent up to 80% of accidents that don't involve drunk drivers or mechanical failure.
Detective Sergeant Travis Welsh said Missoula Police respond to traffic accidents every day.
"Most of those are caused really by inattention or distractions of some kind," Welsh said.
And during the winter in Montana, Welsh said drivers need to pay even more attention to the road.
"With bad weather of course, you have to pay more attention and you have to give yourself a reactionary gap," he said.
But the latest vehicle-to-vehicle, or V2V, technology could provide a sort of safety net if a driver doesn't see a potential collision ahead.
Welsh said, "In other words, the car is taking over some of the attention that drivers are responsible for now."
U.S. Department of Transportation officials said a transponder would continually transmit a vehicle's position, speed and other information 10 times per second in all directions over radio waves.
"I can see that it might reduce accidents or collisions," Welsh said.
Cars could share that information back and forth, and a vehicle's computer would alert the driver to an impending collision.
"What that does is preload the brakes so you can stop a lot quicker," said Hal Woods, the General Sales Manager at Bitterroot Motors.
Woods said the latest Ford vehicles have technology similar to V2V technology. He said the system also alerts drivers attempting to change lanes when there's a car in their blind spot.
"It'll detect if you start getting drowsy at the wheel by the pressure on the steering wheel."
Woods said he thinks it's a good idea to require anti-collision technology in new vehicles, and his customers would agree.
"I think that we're more worried about the safety features than the gas mileage features," he said.
Federal officials recently tested V2V technology in 3,000 cars in Michigan, and are finalizing data on that pilot program.
DOT officials said the new requirements would be in place by early 2017.

Albany - - Cold weather can be harmful for babies, especially pre-mature ones.
That's why Coats and Clark employees spent the past few months making 800 winter caps for babies.
It's part of an International effort called Save the Children and Warm-up America.
The campaign encourages people to knit and crochet caps for needy newborns all over the world.
"In some countries, a lot of babies are born low birth weight babies and they die within the first 24 hours that they're born and they found out that such measures like putting a little hat on their head will keep them warm and keep them alive," says participant Marsha Ekkizogloy.
Coats and Clark will ship off the caps to Washington, D.C. Monday. Then the caps will be distributed to premature babies in various countries.

Today's Word of the Day means...
"The Hebrews divided the night into three watches, the Greeks usually into four (sometimes five), the Romans (followed by the Jews in New Testament times) into four." [OED]The meaning "small timepiece" is from 1588, developing from that of "a clock to wake up sleepers" (1440). Watchmaker is recorded from 1630; watchtower is attested from 1544.
graveyard watch, on someone's watch
the periods into which the time between sunset and sunrise was divided. They are so called because watchmen relieved each other at each of these periods. There are frequent references in Scripture to the duties of watchmen who were appointed to give notice of the approach of an enemy (2 Sam. 18:24-27; 2 Kings 9:17-20; Isa. 21:5-9). They were sometimes placed for this purpose on watch-towers (2 Kings 17:9; 18:8). Ministers or teachers are also spoken of under this title (Jer. 6:17; Ezek. 33:2-9; Heb. 13:17). The watches of the night were originally three in number, (1) "the beginning of the watches" (Lam. 2:19); (2) "the middle watch" (Judg. 7:19); and (3) "the morning watch" (Ex. 14:24; 1 Sam. 11:11), which extended from two o'clock to sunrise. But in the New Testament we read of four watches, a division probably introduced by the Romans (Matt. 14:25; Mark 6:48; Luke 12:38). (See DAY.)

Town Square
Is PAUSD in Decline?
Original post made by Worried on Nov 3, 2006
There's also a lot of praise for Lisa Swagerty, a Palo Verde 3rd grade teacher who along with her husband were cited last Saturday by the police for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Clearly, she is well liked and by all accounts a respected teacher.
But just like Giordano, she is just another problem staff member on the PAUSD payroll. Being a teacher means you have to lead students by example, not only in the classroom but also in everyday life. Parents of the students who were invited to her home probably thought to themselves: "That is one safe place for my child to spend an evening." I don't know how many parents were shocked when they were called to pick up their drunken teen. At least no one got hurt, thanks to the police who arrived on the scene before anyone could commit DUI. So, Swagerty won't be arrested or sentenced to prison. And I doubt any parents will sue her for anything.
But there has to be some consequence for Swagerty. Life can't just go on as if nothing ever happened. What kind of message would that be? That it is ok for teens to go to a party and drink themselves in the presence of adult host? As long as nobody got hurt? What's the big deal?
With all the problems already faced by PAUSD, one has to wonder if the party is over for Palo Alto Schools. While other school districts are catching up, this one is slipping on all fronts. Pretty soon, people might use past tense to describe how great PAUSD was. "Which high school did you go to?" "Paly." "Used to be a good school. What happened?"
on Nov 3, 2006 at 12:13 pm
It's not the greatest school district. I often meet other paly alumni who feel they were swept to the side while ivy league bound kids were the main focus of the school's attention. On top of that, there are some sketchy teachers in the district like Giordano; always have been. The district also has it's problems with kids who put on a face of perfection, but behind the scenes they may be doing hard drugs, contemplating suicide, alcohol abuse, etc. There is a lot of presure from parents who are the world's top 1% in terms of wealth and power and kids who are simply born average.

Worried, Your post seems more about villifying and piling on more shame. Haven't we seen anough of that, in this case?
I'm upset that this happened to, but you are making large generalizations about PAUSD, kids, PAlo Alto, etc. etc from this one example. What's up with that? That's not the kind of logic that we want to inform our community with; it makes matters worse.
on Nov 3, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Funny you should say that. Sitting the the board meeting last night, which was mostly a round table of all the elementary school principals telling the board about all their fantastic creative ideas for teaching, I couldn't help but wonder if they'd be patting themselves on the back quite so much if we were a community of less means and less connected to a wealthy, educated community. I wonder how much of the PAUSD test scores are driven by 'luck' (as in; parents who are willing and driven and have supplemental resources to make sure their kids excel are carrying this districts test scores).
I don't think you could prove we're a great school district by walking around our facilities (decrepit), looking at our tools (libaries, technology, art rooms, science labs, teachers aids), or watching our board and district level decision making processes, (a comedy of errors, slow and lacking in direction, particularly around chasing after every hair brained scheme to walk their way, no strategic priorities, an AMAZING level of denial with regard to the PIE benchmarking study last night...)
I wonder if folks are going to feel like digging into their pockets next year for MORE money to throw at this board and superintendent via PIE or via new bonds to fix our schools? I think that will only happen if the board gets its strategic priority thinking caps on, and starts getting back to business and showing some backbone.
They can start on January 9th, by just saying NO to diversionary, divisive, low priority programs, that shower more enrichment on the highest performing kids.

Blog Pagination working in 2.4?
29 June 2010 at 6:34am
I can't get blog pagination working. I'm sure it worked when I hosted a site on 2.3, but not using the latest build of the blog for 2.4. I've even tried a blank install with just the blog module added, but I get no joy. Is this a known issue?

Hi Matty
Pagination is working, the default number of entries to show per page is 10 ($default_entries_limit in BlogTree.php).
- What template are you using? did you include BlogPagination in your BlogHolder or BlogTree? <% include BlogPagination %>
- What is your blog structure? BlogHolder >> BlogEntry?

Ah yes, I've got it working now, thanks for the default_entries hint. I think in the past I must have amended the amount of blog entries in the php file. I had been assuming the option for Blog Holder in the CMS to show only the last month's entries would then allow older months to be accessed by the same method.
Is there a way of specifying in the template the number of entries to show in a holder?

Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins - dairy free
Somehow it's Saturday. I'm not totally sure when that happened, except that it must crept up on me while I made cookies and creme brulee and bread stuffing and cookies and bread crumbs and pastry cream and cookies and...you get the idea. It turns out that the weeks leading up to the holiday season at a bakery are busy. I can only imagine the insanity ahead.
I had a day off mid-week and made these beauties. I was a little nervous because last weekend I tried another pumpkin recipe from King Arthur that was incredibly blah. Not bad, just not exciting in the least. Thankfully, these muffins are not blah. They're light and sweet and a nice switch from my usual breakfast option.
Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins - dairy free
adapted from King Arthur Flour
I don't have a doughnut pan because a) I'm cheap b) I have a tiny kitchen and c) I generally try and stay away from single-use kitchen items, but if you have one, more power to you. Head over to King Arthur for directions to make these as baked doughnuts.
I reduced the amount of sugar from the original. They're tasty, but less doughnut-y than they could be. If you really want the sweetness of doughnuts, increase the sugar to 1 1/2 cups; next time, I will. If you have pumpkin pie spice in your cabinet, you can use 1 1/2 teaspoons (or more!) instead of the cinnamon, nutmeg, & ginger.
Have leftover self-rising flour from another project? Reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon; omit the baking powder, and substitute 2 cups (8 ounces) self-rising flour for the all-purpose flour.
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used a combination of canola & olive)
3 large eggs
1 C granulated sugar
1 1/2 C pumpkin purée (canned pumpkin)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
heaping 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons flour
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease the cups.
Beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Add the flour, stirring just until smooth.
Fill each well about 3/4 full; the recipe makes about 15, so you'll need to bake in two batches (unless you have two muffin pans).
If you're eating these the same day or the next after baking them, I recommend sprinkling them with cinnamon+sugar before you bake them. If you won't be eating them for a few days, hold off on this step and sprinkle them just before serving. In a small bowl, mix together a few tablespoons of cinnamon+sugar. Sprinkle it over your muffins.
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
Cool completely, and wrap airtight; store at room temperature for several days.
Yield: 15 muffins.

Using this forum - Feedback FAQ
Gameplay and Game Mechanics issues
What is the best way to present feedback?
You have two choices for sending us suggestions and feedback on game content
1. Email
2. Post a suggestion in this forum.
Does the feedback email actually get read by anyone?
All those emails go into our email management tool and are assigned directly to the community manager. That means I read each and every feedback email recieved. I usually do this at the very least every other day so they dont stack up in the queue. Then I take the suggestions / feedback and enter it into a database that I use to keep track of the suggestions.
What happens to that feedback and is it used?
The feedback is used to discuss issues with the AO management team on a daily basis. As Community manager I am part of the management team with the Game Director, lead designer, lead coder and QA/CS manager that meet every single morning to discuss the current status, plans, patch plans, customer service community etc, basically everything that goes into making AO.
We are constantly reviewing it and going over the points raised with the game Director. Likewise when the Game Director or lead designer are considering changes they also come to me to sound out how those changes would effect the community, and I can draw on the feedback to illustrate opinions etc.
Does this forum actually get read by anyone at Funcom?
Yes! I regularly review the contents of the forum and use them in the same manner as the email feedback as explained above. In addition the individual devs and designers also regularly view and read the topics.
Why can't we get a reply to our suggestions?
Unfortunately we simply dont have the resources to answer each and every query posted on the forums, or emailed to the feedback emails. It really is that straightforward. That is why the Game Suggestions forum isn't a two way feedback area, its not because we might not want to, many of the suggestion on this board are worthwhile and often lead to discussion and thoughts on design internally, but if a proper answer was to be given to every suggestion the devs wouldn't have time to actually create the game.
So how do I know why feedback is making any difference
We work very hard to communicate with the playerbase when working on the game. The
Community Updates
, the new
featured content
section (which includes design considerations in the articles when appropriate), the update forums, the professionals program, the feedback emails, the surveys we do, the great ARK team, and from spending time in game, we try to communicate as much as possible and a good chunk of the fixes and changes in each patch come directly from player feedback (if I had to estimate it I'd say at least 30-40% of all changes in any given patch come almost directly from player feedback) so overall we feel we put a lot of time and resource into ensuring that communication is there, so all the feedback we recieve is valuable and worthwhile.
What is the difference between game suggestions and the patch forums, you answer questions in the patch forums, why not here?
If there is a patch forum up at any given time it is because we need to communicate about upcoming or current changes in that patch. This is in an effort to ensure that patches roll out as smoothly as possible and, if appropriate, to explain, confirm or deny the implication of any given change in the current patch cycle.
These are specific answers to specific issues and different from Game suggestions as the points are relevant to a change being made to the game in the patch series rather then a suggestion for future changes.
It is also important to try and resolve as many issues as possible with the patch, and to explain and clarify its features before it hits the live servers wherever possible
Customer service issues
1. Any Customer Support Issues should be emailed directly to
and NOT posted to forums
2. If you wish to suggest changes to an existing customer service policy it should be sent via email to
Why can't we raise customer service issues on the forums?
Actual Customer Service issues and customer support policies are not open to debate on the forums as quite simply people will never agree on what they should be. The GMs and CS manager do of course consider player opinion and impact of all their policies. Like myself with community the QA/CS manager sits on the morning management meetings and goes through such issues with the Game Director. Unfortunately though public forums are not the place to dicuss the ins and outs of what is and is not against the Games support policies.
You need only look at any thread that has ever mentioned things like 'griefing', 'ganking', 'ninja-looting', 'harrasment' or such like as players will never even agree amongst themselves how those things are to be defined, let alone how to enforce them and such threads just degenerate into flames and personal attacks when people disagree.
So why are we not just allowed to disagree and debate on those kind of points?
We know from experience there is absolutely no gain from allowing players to debate policy choices on open forum. It creates excessive work for the modersators as people do not always respect the forum rules on such threads, doesnt really give any additional feedback outside of the fact that some people disagree on 'subject X', which we would already know and generally only ends up creating bad feeling between the players themselves that disagree with each other. All pretty counter productive.
That is why the feedback email address is the best avenue for any suggestions on policy. It will reach me and the CS manager, and it will be read and at the very least taken under consideration. It allows you to clearly express your personal opinion without getting into arguements about definitions or others opinions on the subject you are raising.
If I have a customer service issue in game why can't I post it to the forums?
It is important that customer service issues can be dealt with personally and without interruption. This is to give the players complaint the respect it deserves. That would not always happen on open forum.
If people are suffering from some CS issue when they make the post they are often being emotive rather then strictly rational and again public forums is not the place for that as other posters can often disrupt and make the original poster feel even worse about the issue (and unfortunately we know from experience some posters like to disrupt and enflame on occasion even when they are not involved in the issue) It is perfectly understandable when someone is frustrated or upset about any given issue they might experience but that is why the correct avenue of response is a personal email reply.
We feel strongly that customer support on serious issues should be as personal as possible and that is why we operate full email support. Public forums just do not work as an avenue for that kind of response as they can be disrupted by other posters, be possibly missed if an operative overlooks a thread (as opposed to our email tracking which ensures they see every email), and generally isn't a really beneficial or efficient way to operate customer service.

El Raval Apartments or Townhomes(137)

Recent El Raval Reviews
Los angeles apartment
The flat is well-located and offers a good starting point for visiting most sights in Barcelona. It is situated at the corner of 2 streets and on one side the balcony looks onto trees (and parrots in them) and a building with an ornate façade with roof statues. Lovely. The flat is ideally placed for food shopping (you'll find a good baker near-by and a small supermarket across the road). The flat is comfortable, light, spacious and stylish with high ceilings decorated with beautiful coving. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. Each room has a fan which you will need to put on in the evenings in summer, especially in the west facing rooms. The area is quiet in the morning but the cafes and restaurants in the street below bring some life (and noise) late into the night. There is also the unavoidable passing of the council vans in charge of the emptying of the bins. It was nice to meet the owner of the flat at the start of our holiday. Perhaps the information pack could have been sent before our arrival in order for us to book some of the recommended restaurants in advance. The pictures posted on line give justice to the flat. I feel that the renting could perhaps be made a little simpler with one price given comprising everything. All in all, the 6 of us (family: 3 couples) enjoyed our stay in the flat very much.
Great for our family of 5!
I thought the apartment was great. You can't find a better location, right off the middle of La Rambla, a stone's throw from the Boqueria market, a minute from the metro. The apartment was great for our family of 5. The kids appreciated the TV. We appreciated the laundry facilities, both washer and dryer. Water pressure of the shower was great. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only concern I had was the noise on the street but my kids and husband slept right through it. Bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
Modern apartment in great location
This was a great choice for our group of 6 as it had a lot of room to spread out with 3 separate sleeping areas. It has good views from most of the inside area and a small patio to step out on. The owner has put some real effort into modernizing this place so that everything seemed brand new. In contrast, the neighborhood has an old traditional feel to it so that you can get an authentic taste of old Barcelona but still be in a unit with all the modern amenities that you would want. Good central location that is surprisingly quiet most of the time, but yet you feel like you are part of a real neighborhood. If you only had 2 or 3 people this unit would be too large and expensive, but for 4 or more it would be a good value.

He could not stop thanking me for how delicious the nuts were as well as the fact that they arrived on time and beautifully wrapped. I spent half the price than other websites and he got 2 lbs of mixed nuts. For weeks he was talking about this package and how impressed he was. I received friendly confirmation e-mails as well. For Father's Day I ordered the same package to my dad in New York and it shipped the next day! Very impressed. "

Other disappointments: The Cruise director, Wee Jimmy needs to go. He is obnoxious and rude to the guests. My two boys were even appalled at how often he disrespected guests to get a laugh. The drinks are watered down and extremely expensive. Carnival doesn't want you to bring alcohol on board to encourage buying their alcoholic beverages. What they actually encourage is ways for people to sneak alcohol on board to bypass the poor quality and quantity of drinks. Also while the food is still good, it is often cold, dry and there is less variety than in the past. However you still cannot beat the service.
While my review includes several negative comments, we still had a great time. But then again I believe I would enjoy any cruise that offered a chance to get away from Christmas decorating, buying, wrapping, cooking and baking and cleaning. I was able to truly concentrate on the important things; celebrating family and life. Carnival did help to make that happen.

Signs of Substance Abuse
For some parents, the signs of substance abuse are obvi
Safely explore your feelings and concerns about substance abuse and sobriety.
For some parents, the signs of substance abuse are obvi
First the good news: Most teens don't use drugs o
According to the Adolescent Substance Use report issue
Adolescence lasts roughly 3,000 days. It is a critical time where important social, psychological, and intellectual milestones are met – or not met as the case may be. If you're the parent of a teen, you know how difficult this period is under the best of circumstances. Substance abuse adds to the turmoil, and without intervention usually leads to socially ill-equipped and psychologically immature adults.
Kids Off Chemicals, a comprehensive drug and alcohol assessment and treatment program, is designed for kids ages 13 through 18 struggling with substance abuse along with their families. Professional counseling, parent coaching, group and family therapy, and ongoing support are just the beginning. We also teach kids how to have a good time without being high and help parents re-establish their authority. If your teen is battling the demons associated with mood-altering substances of any kind and you live in the Santa Rosa / Sonoma area, this program is for you. You do not need to fight this battle alone.
Our program schedule lasts 4 months and requires a commitment from both the teen and their family. Program activities include the following:
- Weekly adolescent recovery group meetings
- Adolescent education group
- Family therapy sessions
- Parent support group / coaching classes
- Family education classes
