If we do not rent a car, what is the least expensive mode of transportation from KEF Airport to downtown Reykjavik?
KEF Airport to Reykjavik

Your best bet would be one of the airport shuttles.
There are a few to choose from and they're all much of a muchness cost wise, however depending on where you're staying, some of the shuttles drop you off at the hotel front door rather than at some point equidistant from the hotels in the vicinity.
You should expect to pay around the equivalent of £10 for a one-way trip, but if memory serves you can buy return tickets which would work out cheaper in the long run.
Have fun!

And what a mind-boggling trip that journey from Keflavik Airport to Reykyavik was the first time I did it - all barren lava flows - nary a tree or much vegetation in site - looks like the moon - stark but awesome in its own way. With the cost of petrol in Iceland being sky high you'll save loads on taking the bus over renting a car.

catch the bus, get a clear idea where your hotel is and make sure you get off at the right stop. But watch the weather. I've walked through Reykyavik at 3 in the morning (broad daylight in the summer) but I'd hate to do it in snow.

The Grayline bus transfer at about $32.US p.p. roundtrip is priced lower than the Iceland air transfer. Are there local shuttles that would be cheaper? Can they be reserved ahead of time? Is there a certain local bus number that goes directly to downtown Reykjavik?

"He throws the ball well," Favero said of Falk, who won't pose the running, scrambling threat on the ground that Nelson did. "Luke's more of a pro-style guy. His strength is throwing the ball."
Falk will be backed up by Jesse Braddy, Chase Nelson and Kincade Wildman.
Braddy, a senior, will start at one of the Grizzlies' receiver positions, and Chase Nelson, a junior who's D.J.'s younger brother, will share the running back duties with senior Chasen Andersen and junior Taylor Compton.
Along with Braddy, the team's other top wide receivers are seniors Hagen Andersen, Beau Artist, Jake Thompson and Zach Rich.
On the offensive line, senior Dito Marin is the man in the middle and a returning starter at center, flanked by seniors Vincent Lalau and Trevor Anderson at the guard spots, with Bryce Skabelund providing depth. The starters at offensive tackle will be junior Logan Rice and senior Luis Velazquez.
While Logan has enough offensive weapons and defensive experience to make another strong league and state title run, Favero isn't taking anything for granted.
"There's some experience coming back, and any time you have experience coming back, you're a little further along than you'd be if you were inexperienced," he said.
"We have the same concerns anyone else has in high school. We've got a number of positions that will be filled with kids that haven't played varsity ball, so it's our job to grow 'em up quick and try to gain a lot of experience as quickly as we can with our inexperience."
Sizing up the Region 5 race, Favero figures all league opponents are going to be gunning to shoot down the defending state champion Grizzlies.
"Mountain Crest is very strong. Box Elder is strong. Sky View is very talented," he said. "Bonneville's got a new coach (Tyler Gladwell) and Freddy (Fernandes) is in his second year at Roy, so I think those two teams will be improved."
And Logan? Well, it looks like they're loaded for bear — pardon the pun — again this year.
Logan Grizzlies at a glance
Coach: Mike Favero begins his 14th season as Logan's head coach. He has compiled a 112-50 record in 13 seasons at the school. He is a graduate of Helix (Calif.) High.
(5 returning starters; Spread offense)
QB Luke Falk takes over the controls of an explosive offense that averaged 44 points per game last season, and Chase Nelson, Jesse Braddy, Chasen Andersen, Hagen Andersen, Beau Artist, Taylor Compton, Jake Thompson and Zach Rich give him plenty of potent weapons. Dito Marin will anchor the O-line. Though they lost some great players off last year's state championship team, it doesn't look like the Grizzlies will miss a beat.
(7 returning starters; Base 4-2-5 defense)
With seven returning starters, Logan's opponents will have a tough time moving the football. The Grizzlies will certainly miss injured all-state defensive end Caden Andersen, but with Nelson, Dallin Dahl, Hunter Ballam, Compton and Josh Wilson patrolling the secondary, and guys like Jacoby Wildman, Jaxton Birky, Sam Bennion, Casey Coe, Shawn Gudmundson, Chasen Andersen and Jaden Connor up front, Logan will challenge opposing teams to put many points on the scoreboard.
Coaches preseason Region 5 straw poll: First
Deseret News Region 5 prediction: First
Bottom line: If Falk steps up as expected and the defense does its job the way it should, it looks like Logan has all the components of another possible championship team. The only thing that could stall the Grizzlies' mauling would be injuries or complacency, and the fiercely competitive Favero won't ever let the latter happen on his watch. But the remaining teams in Region 5 all appear to be improved over a year ago, and if Logan looks past anyone, the Grizzlies could pay dearly for it.

HARMANâs Martin MAC Viper Profile Series Lights Up Les Francofolies Music Festival
AARHUS, Denmark â The annual Les Francofolies summer music festival, held in Spa, Belgium, promotes francophone music and attracts hundreds of thousands of fans over a five-day span. ARTO, a Brussels-based production company, handled the festivalâs production and lighting design, which consisted exclusively of HARMANâs Martin Professional lighting fixtures. As an integral part of the system ARTO deployed 28 Martin MAC Viper Profile moving head fixtures, in addition to several other Martin luminaires.
The MAC Viper Profile is a high-output profile luminaire that boasts superior light quality, an exceptional feature set and a highly optical system. With its 1000-watt HID source, the Viper consumes less power, making it over 50% more efficient than its 1200-watt rivals. Not only is the Viper Profile brighter, but it is also a faster and more compact solution. Housed in a slender and agile body, the Viperâs responsiveness and fast pan/tilt speeds have led it to become a favorite among designers.
âI chose to work with the MAC Viper Profiles for many reasons,â stated Lighting Designer Gilles Mathieu. âThe colors are very nice. The red especially is a real primary red. The speed and range of the zoom is excellent and it only draws five amps of power. Logistically speaking the Vipers were really simple to hang and we were also able to place them on the floor when necessary.â
In addition, the main stage design also included 26 MAC 2000 XB Wash lights, 24 MAC Aura LED moving heads, and 8 Atomic 3000 strobe light fixtures. The MAC 2000 Wash lights offered a combination of power and color mixing, that Mathieu discussed, would not have been possible with other fixtures. The multi-function and zoom capabilities of the MAC Auras, paired with the robust color and unique power savings, were a huge asset to the live show especially during the daylight.
Martin equipment (main stage):
28 x MAC Viper
26 x MAC 2000 Wash XB
24 x MAC Aura
8 x Atomic 3000
As a world leader in the creation of dynamic lighting solutions for the entertainment, architectural, and commercial sectors, Martin lighting and video systems are renowned the world over. Martin also offers a range of advanced lighting controllers and media servers, as well as a complete line of smoke machines as a complement to intelligent lighting. Martin operates the industryâs most complete and capable distributor network with local partners in nearly 100 countries. Founded in 1987 and based in Aarhus, Denmark, Martin is the lighting division of global infotainment and audio company HARMAN International Industries. For more information please visit: http://www.martin.com.

Grace Chan: Stop pitting me against Sisley Choi!
Wednesday November 12, 2014 Hong Kong
Source: https://my.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/grace-chan-stop-pitting-against-sisley-choi-035600017.html
Grace Chan may be the kind of person who can shake off romance rumours with her drama co-stars, but the beauty queen recently confessed that speculations of rivalry between her and fellow Miss HK alum Sisley Choi bothers her a lot.
In an interview with Mingpao News, the 2013 Miss Hong Kong winner, who has continuously been pitted against the first runner-up since their debut with TVB, said that she is quite upset by the rumours of rivalry due to their friendship and obvious unique traits.
"Sisley and I are completely different to one another, in terms of our personality, image, and even acting styles. I don't see the need for us to be compared," she said.
She continued, "I wish the media would make comments about me individually, rather than make comparisons between us."
However, Grace said that she is grateful that their friendship has never been affected by such rumours, and that they would call each other when there is such a report, to make sure that they are both okay.
"I really don't want to lose Sisley as a friend," said Grace.
In related news, the "Overachievers" star will have three new series with TVB in 2015, including "Quid Pro Quo" and "Captain of Destiny".

"That is such a creative story," said Kevin Cheng, as he laughed off rumours of blossoming romance with actress Myolie Wu.
The actor, who reportedly approached Myolie at her birthday party and flirted with her much to Johnson Lee's annoyance, found the scandal funny, especially since it was just recently that he was rumoured to be suffering from various ailments.
Speaking to the media at the Mingpao Weekly 46th Anniversary celebration on 11 November, Kevin said, "I don't want to hinder Myolie from finding herself a good man, and this kind of rumour will only discourage other pursuers."
He jokingly announced that men who want to pursue Myolie can continue to do so, as he is not interested to do so himself.

TVB actor Lai Lok Yi has recently tied the knot with wealthy girlfriend of four years, Nicole Lee.
According to Mingpao News, the actor, whose relationship to the beauty heiress was met with lots of criticism previously due to their different financial status, said that he is psychologically ready to accept the challenges that will come his way.
"I may be poor in terms of money, but I am making efforts to close the gap," he said, adding that he is determined to take care of his wife with his own hard work.
Asked if his parents-in-law are affected by reports saying that Nicole is far superior than her husband, Lai said, "My wife and her family understand that people will write whatever they want. But it will motivate me more to be successful."
"Time will tell," said his wife, Nicole.
The "Come Home Love" star shared that his wife plans to go on a vacation to Australia for a month. In regard to children, the actor said that they will let nature take its course.
Among celebrities who attended the wedding in Parkview include Linda Chung, Moses Chan, Mandy Cho, Ekin Cheng and wife Yoyo Mung, Christine Ng, and Florence Kwok.

According to KwongWah News, the actor previously uploaded photos of him with his three-year-old daughter while on vacation in Saipan, and caught the eyes of Netizens, who urged him to join the reality show with his daughter.
Though Lawrence revealed that he was indeed contacted by the production and offered a place in the show, the actor said that he has decided to turn it down.
In a telephone interview with the media, Lawrence said that he hopes to give Xier a normal environment to live in and a reality show will not help the process.

Myolie Wu has laughed off rumours saying that she and Kevin Cheng have been flirting and consequently ticking off her suitor, Johnson Lee.
Previously, it was rumoured that Myolie, who had her 35th birthday party on 6 November, spent the night talking and flirting with Kevin. Their behaviour allegedly angered Johnson Lee, who is said to have been pursuing Myolie for quite a while, and caused him to leave the event earlier than expected.
However, while speaking to the media at the Mingpao Weekly 46th Anniversary event on 11 November, Myolie laughed off the rumour, saying that the scandal was a joke.
"I have worked with Kevin for many years. There was no emotional attachment between us, and there will never be," said Myolie.
She is also confident that there will not be any awkwardness between the two of them, as they both know that the rumours are not true.
In regard to rumours saying that Johnson Lee left the scene early due to jealousy, Myolie stressed that the two of them are not dating and thus, there would be no such feeling.

Hong Kong diva Joey Yung, who recently decided to wash her hands off her father's debt, revealed that the issue is currently being handled by her management company.
Previously, Mr. Yung's name was posted in public notices by creditors who have been seeking him for his debts, including in Happy Valley, where Joey is living. The incident caused Joey to step up and announce that she will no longer pay for his debts.
According to Mingpao News, the singer, who has just recovered from flu recently, stated that she and her father have neither seen each other for a long time nor stayed in contact with one another.
Asked if her decision has made any impact on her family, Joey said that the only person who was affected the most is her mother, though she would not show it to her children.
In related news, it was also revealed that Joey's father has written a letter of commitment, absolving her from paying off his debt.
In the letter written in 2011, he admitted that he owed a large amount of money again after Joey had paid all his debts previously, but declared that he will not ask her to clear his debt again.

Wollim Entertainment, Seo Ji Soo's agency, told Newsen on November 12, "Seo Ji Soo headed to the hospital this morning and was hospitalized after making the decision that it is better to do so," adding, "We will be following the doctor's orders once she receives her diagnosis."
Having gone through difficult times due to the rumors, Seo Ji Soo is currently struggling with mental shock.
On November 12, Woollim Entertainment told Newsen, "Seo Ji Soo′s mental stage of shock is great," and "We′ve come to the conclusion that it′s impossible to carry out normal activities and decided she will not be attending the showcase."
According to the agency rep, Seo Ji Soo is currently suffering mentally to the point that her face has turned pale and hasn′t been able to eat properly. She was also unable to participate during practices due to her weak body.
The agency rep said, "She was in much agony with the public gaze on her," said the affiliate. "She woke up on November 12 with a pale face. It's been sad watching her."
Accordingly, Seo Ji Soo will not be attending Lovelyz showcase scheduled for the afternoon of November 12. Due to Seo Ji Soo's physical condition, the agency decided to postpone her activities after having discussions. The agency shared, "We decided to hold onto her shaking heart and take care of her body first. We decided that postponing activities for the moment is the right thing."

LADIES′ CODE′s manager, who was driving at the time of the accident, has been arrested and charged.
According to the Suwon District Public Prosecutor′s Office on November 12, LADIES′ CODE′s manager, Park, has been arrested and charged for the death of LADIES′ CODE member and the injury of four people while speeding down a freeway in rainy conditions.
Regarding this, LADIES′ CODE′s agency rep told Newsen, "It′s true that the manager who was driving LADIES′ CODE during the accident has been arrested and charged. Investigations are still going on, and we believe that a custody investigation was decided upon as this case is as important as it is. It′s unfortunate and upsetting."
"As the investgations are still not done, it′s hard for us to make a statement on anything. We don′t know when the investigation reports will come out, but as this is a family member who we′ve worked with, our hearts are in pain."
On September 3 around 1:30 AM KST, the van that the LADIES′ CODE members were riding hit a wall on the Youngdong freeway. EunB and Kwon RiSe unfortunately lose their lives. Lee So Jung received surgery on a facial fracture, while Ashley and Zuny received minor injuries.
The speed limit at the accident scene is set at 100 km, but as it was raining, traffic laws state that the speed must be dropped 20 percent, which would be 80 km. Park was driving at 135.7 km at the time.
On October 20, Seobu Police Department and the National Forensic Service announced that after a detailed analysis of the damaged vehicle, Grand Starex, the vehicle lost a wheel due to the large impact after hitting the freeway barrier in the rain.

iTunes 9.0.2 connects with Apple TV 3.0, kills Palm Pre syncOn the heels of the Apple TV 3.0 software update Thursday, Apple also updated iTunes to version 9.0.2, bringing compatibility with the updated set top box and again nixing sync capabilities with the Palm Pre.
With the latest update, iTunes will be able to communicate with the new Apple TV 3.0 software update for both Windows and Mac users.
The new iTunes update also adds an option for a dark background for Grid View, and improves support for accessibility. The 88.5MB update is available via Software Update or direct from Apple. It requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, Windows Vista 64, Windows XP SP 2 or later, and Windows 7.
Continuing the back-and-forth battle between Palm and Apple, the latest update also reportedly disables the ability of the Pre to sync with iTunes, according to Precentral.net. With the latest update, iTunes will allegedly launch when a Pre is connected to a computer via USB, but the handset does not show up as a device in the sidebar.
Apple and Palm have battled for months in a cat and mouse game, as Palm has updated its phones to trick iTunes into syncing music, and Apple has updated iTunes to disable it. Both have released numerous updates since the Palm Pre was released this summer.
Palm believes that Apple's prevention of non-sanctioned devices from communicating with its iTunes media software is unfair, and it appealed to the USB Implementers Forum in an effort to have the iPhone maker's practices reversed. But the USB-IF instead sided with Apple in September, noting that iTunes' method of identifying Apple devices was within the consortium's rules.
The USB-IF also reprimanded Palm for violating the group's rules by improperly using Apple's USB vendor ID to have iTunes recognize the Pre as an iPod.
"Under the Policy, Palm may only use the single Vendor ID issued to Palm for Palms usage," the USB-IF said in a letter to Palm. "Usage of any other companys Vendor ID is specifically precluded. Palms expressed intent to use Apples VID appears to violate the attached policy."

Dh150 million Dubai Safari to showcase wildlife in natural setting
New Dubai landmark worth Dh150m expected to be completed by the end of 2014
- Image Credit: Courtesy: Dubai Municipality
- An artist's impression of Dubai Safari, which will replace the Dubai Zoo. The project will comprise a zoo, butterfly park, botanical garden, resort and golf course and other facilities.
Dubai: You might be forgiven for thinking that you have entered into foreign waters as you make your way through wadis filled with flamingos and animals running through greenery – this is the new Dubai Zoo.
Known as Dubai Safari, the Dh150 million park project is right on track and senior officials at Dubai Municipality have confirmed that the new Dubai landmark has completed its first phase of construction and, as scheduled, will be completed by the end of 2014.
The municipality has been carrying out excavation work since September 2012 and has been levelling the ground, as well as setting up the areas for internal and external roads. The Dubai Safari project covers 120 hectares that will consist of a zoo, safari and butterfly park, botanical garden, resort, and golf course, in addition to educational and veterinary facilities.
At 29 hectares, the zoo, which is located in Al Warqa area along Al Aweer Road opposite Dragon Mart, will replace the existing 1.5 hectare zoo in Jumeirah. It is expected to feature more than 1,000 animals and birds.
"Within two weeks, we will start carrying out the works for the infrastructure and work on the water feature package. The schedule is going according to plan and will be completed by the end of next year," said Hussain Nassir Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality.
There will initially be 1,600 parking spaces over two designated areas and further down the line, the municipality intends to expand it to 3,600 parking spaces across 9.4 hectares.
"The first phase took time to complete because it used to be a landfill, so we had to clean and level the site. One of the other main challenges was designing the zoo because we had to keep in consideration the summer heat as it can get very hot between the months of May and September," he said.
Lootah explained that some of the animals need to be kept in a controlled environment, and these buildings would use simple, water-cooled greenhouse technology. The buildings are envisioned to be large structures equipped with an artificial mud pathway with dense vegetation, which would reduce the temperatures for visitors moving between exhibits.
With the advice of a municipal zoologist and international specialists, Dubai Municipality was also able to choose what kind of animals would be chosen to live at Dubai Safari. For the animals' consideration, the safari park will be closed at night so that they can rest peacefully.
The Safari will be divided into four different sections — African, Asian and Arabian Villages and an open safari — for animals coming from different geographical locations, with architecture and landscaping to match.
"Dubai Safari is a green project, which means that we have made it as sustainable as possible. Water will be the main element of the project, as a wadi and a waterfall will be built, and some of the villages will have boating activities," he said.
Lootah pointed out that the municipality has taken power consumption into consideration and will incorporate various methods of energy conservation and energy- efficient designs, including solar power, water recycling, waste disposal and recycling.
"Various types of transport, which will run using solar energy, will be available to take visitors from one place to the other, and there will be a rubber wheeled tram and monorail capsules," he added.

A death sentence for Egyptian democracy
Publication Date : 28-03-2014
The number itself was disturbing. In fact, "disturbing" is an understatement for what happened at the Egyptian High Court on Monday.
The court condemned 529 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death for their alleged involvement in the killing of one police officer last summer.
The verdict was a predictable outcome in this judicial system run amok. But the number of people sentenced sent a shocking message: that those who oppose this military-dominated regime could pay with their lives. This is the same regime that came to power by overthrowing a democratically elected government, before ruthlessly cracking down on protesters and pro-democracy forces.
Many observers predict the verdict will be overturned on appeal, but there is no denying the outrageousness of the decision itself.
If the Egyptian military thinks this will silence its critics and cow supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi, who is facing similar charges, it needs to think again. The likely outcome of this judicial warning will be the growth and radicalisation of the anti-government movement. Instability looks set to deepen, blighting an Arab country that has so much to offer the world community.
While Monday's verdict was preposterous, the trial from which it emerged was a sham. It took just two days, leaving no time for the suspects to put forward a proper defence. Most of those accused were convicted in absentia. Another 683 members of the Muslim Brotherhood are facing similar charges in the same court.
As well as its crackdown on political activism, the military-led government has lashed out at reporters. Journalists, foreign and local, have been arrested for unfavourable coverage of the government. Among them are Al Jazeera's Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed, who have been held in a Cairo jail for the past 86 days. They made their third court appearance on Monday. Along with other journalists, they are accused of aiding terrorists by presenting the views of government critics.
The court's haste in punishing Morsi's supporters is in stark contrast to its inaction over numerous claims that the military has violated human rights. It comes as no surprise that the international community and rights organisations have voiced strong condemnation of Monday's verdict. Amnesty International said the sentences were "a grotesque example of the shortcomings and the selective nature of Egypt's justice system".
More has to be done to show this military-led government that its actions will bring consequences. Washington, for example, needs to acknowledge that Morsi was ousted in a military coup, an illegal act that needs to be addressed by the courts. As such, the Egyptian military no longer deserves the support of US taxpayers.
However, it seems that self-interest is currently governing all parties' behaviour. Washington doesn't want to pressure Cairo on rights and democracy for fear it would endanger its latest attempt to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel and Saudi Arabia have been lobbying hard to ensure that Egypt's military regime retains its grip on power and that the Muslim Brotherhood remains in the political wilderness.
Egypt's prisons are full of political prisoners. According to the Egyptian government, about 16,000 mostly Muslim Brotherhood members have been detained since the crackdown that followed the coup July last year. Many face routine beatings, rights groups say.
But instead of keeping the government's repressive instincts in check, the country's judicial system has decided to jump on the military-led bandwagon.

Girl in hospital after feeding lamb
Relevant offers
A 3-year-old Canterbury girl is recovering in Starship Hospital after contracting a life-threatening disease while feeding a lamb.
The girl contracted an uncommon cause of infectious diarrhoea, Verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), from unpasteurised milk in a bottle she was feeding to the lamb.
The VTEC caused the girl to develop a life-threatening syndrome which affects the blood and kidneys, called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). One-fifth of children with the syndrome die.
The girl went into significant kidney failure, resulting in intensive medical care at Starship.
Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey said she was now recovering well but was still expected to stay in hospital in Auckland for next few days.
"It is not clear in this case whether the child contracted VTEC E.coli as a result of drinking unpasteurised milk, or by simply touching the lamb. Fortunately, in this case the little girl is recovering."
Humphrey said the incident highlighted the need for caution around farm animals.
"Touching farm animals can be lethal. VTEC is one of several diseases carried by healthy animals," he said.
Up to 10 per cent of children with VTEC go on to develop HUS.
It was not uncommon for children to contract VTEC in spring. Humphrey said Community and Public Health were currently investigating two more possible cases.
"Spring is the time of year when stomach bugs are unfortunately most prevalent in Canterbury. Spring is a busy time on farms and in meatworks and people are in close contact with animals. Often this includes workers or visitors who don't usually deal with animals," he said.
To prevent the spread of VTEC and other infections it was important people only drank pasteurised milk and did not put their hands in their mouth after feeding or touching farm animals, Humphrey said.
"This requires parents to be very vigilant when young children are around farm animals."

PARIS (Reuters) - The FIA will rule by Tuesday on Red Bull's appeal against Daniel Ricciardo's exclusion from the Australian Grand Prix, the Formula One governing body's International Court of Appeal (CAI) said on Monday.
"We will announce the decision tomorrow morning at the latest," CAI general secretary Jean-Christophe Breillat said at the end of a six-hour hearing at the FIA's headquarters.
He added that a reasoned decision would be published "by the end of the week".
Ricciardo finished second in his home race last month, his debut for the world champions, but was disqualified hours later when stewards ruled his car had breached new fuel flow regulations.
The case is seen as a critical test of the regulations accompanying the V6 turbo engines and energy recovery systems, with Red Bull arguing the sensors cannot be trusted, a version the FIA and other teams are disputing.
Red Bull, instead, used their own method of measurement, in breach of an FIA technical directive.
While Ricciardo was not present in Paris as he is preparing for this week's Chinese Grand Prix, team principal Christian Horner and head of car engineering Paul Monaghan were among the nine-man Red Bull delegation.
Mercedes, the championship leaders who have won all three races so far this year, McLaren, Lotus, Williams and Force India also had representatives at the hearing being heard by a five-judge panel.
Mercedes came down hard on Red Bull, with their barrister Paul Harris asking the judges to "impose a further sanction that is to be suspended until the end of the season" to prevent them from breaching the rules again.
Monaghan, the first of six witnesses, argued that the sensor measuring the fuel flow - limited at 100kg per hour - was "faulty" and Red Bull had decided to use their own method of measurement in Melbourne.
"It's not about cheating. We are not seeking to undermine the authority of the FIA," Red Bull barrister Ali Malek said in his closing statement.
"The key issue is the status of technical directives. Either they are instructions we have to follow or they are not binding."
Malek quoted FIA F1 race director Charlie Whiting as telling a news conference the technical directives "are only opinions, an interpretation that did not satisfy Mercedes or the FIA.
Harris and FIA barrister Jonathan Taylor reminded Red Bull that regulations state that "it is the duty of the competitor to satisfy the technical delegate" - not the other way around.
Both stressed that Red Bull ignored requests from the FIA to turn down Ricciardo's engine to stay under the limit, after complying with them during five laps of the race.
"If we continued to agree with the FIA instructions we would lose positions," Adrian Newey, Red Bull's chief technical officer, admitted.
"You cannot have your cake and eat it," Taylor said in his closing statement.
"The rules are workable because of the technical directives, whether it suits the teams or not, we all play by the same rules.
"Without it you'd be in the Wild West. You cannot pick and choose when you want to accept those measurements and when you don't."
Taylor also argued that the back up method used by Red Bull "is not the fuel flow model, it is the estimate.
"There is a difference between measurement of fuel flow and an estimate. You can't rely only on the estimate."
Mercedes added that Red Bull could have used the sensor they had on their spare chassis.
"At any point you could have taken out a third sensor and have used it?" Harris asked Monaghan, who replied: "Yes we could."
Despite being grilled by the Red Bull barristers, Fabrice Lom, who oversaw the implementation of the fuel rules at FIA, maintained that he was "highly confident" the sensor data were accurate.
Harris concluded in saying that Red Bull should be prevented from breaching the rules again.
"Red Bull deliberately chose to defy the instructions," he said.
"There is a real risk they will do it again and we are here to make sure it does not happen again.
"We respectfully submit that the most efficient way that Red Bull does not (breach the rules) for at least the remainder of the season is this court to impose a further sanction that is to be suspended until the end of the season."

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Zack Wheeler hasn't had much success since his first career start, but found a whole lot of it on Wednesday against the team that drafted him.
Wheeler turned in one of his best performances as a major leaguer and the New York Mets finished off a three-game sweep of the struggling defending World Series Champion San Francisco Giants with a 7-1 victory at AT&T Park.
John Buck, Marlon Byrd and Daniel Murphy each knocked in a pair to highlight a second offensive surge for New York in as many days, and sent Giants ace Matt Cain (5-6) to the showers before the first inning was over.
Wheeler (3-1) was the Giants' sixth pick overall in the 2009 draft and blanked his former club for six frames. When it was all said and done, the young rookie scattered one run on three hits to complete a seven-inning stint.
"It felt good, I was really looking forward to it," said Wheeler about facing the Giants. "I told the guys earlier I really wanted to do well."
The Giants traded Wheeler to acquire outfielder Carlos Beltran in 2011, who they would lose to the St. Louis Cardinals via free agency in the following offseason.
San Francisco has plummeted to 40-50 on the campaign, losers of four straight and a remarkable 14 of their last 16 games.
"That will to win, believe me -- its there," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "Sometimes this happens when you get in a rut like this, you kind of stand back and wait for somebody else to do something. We've got to take the bull by the horns and get this thing going."
Byrd hit a grand slam in Tuesday's 10-6 victory and provided a two-run homer on Wednesday. Buck and Murphy each added two hits apiece, while Wheeler contributed an RBI double in New York's fifth win in six games.
An erratic Cain walked three, gave up three runs and only got two outs before he was lifted in the first inning. It was the shortest outing of his career.
Eric Young Jr. drew the first walk, swiped second and went to third on a throwing error from Buster Posey before scoring easily on Murphy's single.
Cain's command was noticeably off and soon loaded the bases after walking Ike Davis and Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Bochy then lifted him after Buck dumped a slider into shallow center for a two-run single and a 3-0 Mets' lead.
Byrd provided New York with a five-run cushion in the fifth by sending a shot just over the center field wall.
Wheeler had given up 10 earned runs over his last three outings, but was cruising through the first five innings on Wednesday, limiting the Giants' offense to just a Pablo Sandoval single and a pair of walks.
He also helped offensively, contributing one of three doubles in the sixth for New York. He sent a shot over the head of Gregor Blanco in center to plate a run and Murphy followed two batters later with a two-bagger for a 7-0 lead.
The Giants got a run off Wheeler in the seventh on a Brandon Crawford single and scored another on a Tony Abreu sac fly in the ninth, but were up against too great of a margin. San Francisco had just six hits on the afternoon.
New York's David Wright went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games
... The Mets have won 15 of their last 23 contests ... It was New York's first
three-game sweep of the season and first in San Francisco since 1994 ... The
Giants were just 5-for-27 with runners in scoring position for the series.

Student Filpping Coin in Exam
A statistics major was completely hung over the day of his final exam. It was a True/False test, so he decided to flip a coin for the answers. The stats professor watched the student the entire two hours as he was flipping the coin...writing the answer...flipping the coin...writing the answer. At the end of the two hours, everyone else had left the final except for the one student. The professor walks up to his desk and interrupts the student, saying:
"Listen, I have seen that you did not study for this statistics test, you didn't even open the exam. If you are just flipping a coin for your answer, what is taking you so long?"
The student replies bitterly, as he is still flipping the coin: "Shhh! I am checking my answers!"

Answer from: jay
You did underground buy charging up a roll atack and holding l after that, you dig towards him, so when you are under him let go of l and he goes flying he lands on his back.... you know what to do
Answer from: anonymous
When it starts shooting flames at you, you dig underground(L) and aim the arrows at the grock (don't worry about charging. you can't underground). Once you are perfectly aimed, you release the SYLUS,NOT the L button. Once you're under the grock, release the L button, and you should send him flying into the air. Once he lands, he'll get stuck in the ground, vulnerable to attack. But if you fail to finish him off, you'll have to restart the whole thing(which should take approximately 5 seconds).

Goodbye, Riverwest
I moved to Riverwest in 1993 and rented an apartment with a friend on Pierce Street. I came in search of cheap beer and cheap rent and because so many of my friends had relocated already to the neighborhood in search of the same things.
When I wasn't writing confessional poetry on the forearm of a philosophy major, I drank Stein at the Stork Club and the Hop Inn. I danced at the Mars Hotel, watched crappy punk bands at Quarters (hey, I was in a crappy punk band so I can say this) and ate mayo-heavy sandwiches at this brand new cafe that brought the '90s coffee shop concept to Milwaukee called Fuel Cafe.
When I was super broke, I went on the Lakefront Brewery tour for $2 when the brewery was still a one-room operation on Chambers Street, next to Dino's, where I ate about a thousand plates of fried fish.
In 1997, I bought two houses in Riverwest: a single family and a duplex for about a nickel each. In 2003, I sold these houses for about a dime each to pay lawyers so I could bring a 9-month-old Guatemalan boy with wild curly hair and a penchant for mushed-up bananas over the Texas border.
Both of my kids spent most of their lives hanging out in Riverwest, from friends' backyards to the Riverwest Co-op, Gordon Park, Children's Outing Association (COA), the playroom at Rio West Cantina and in stimulating, colorful classrooms at La Escuela Fratney.
In 2005, I created an outdoor communal living space on Booth Street with a friend who owned three properties surrounding my property. We literally tore down fences, put up one fence around the parameter of the four yards and created a green space that, over time, looked like this place my kids believe in called heaven.
Riverwest inspired me. I wrote hundreds, maybe thousands, of poems and essays and articles from my bubblegum pink home office. I planted begonias and broccoli and gourds and garlic and tomatoes and tulips and sometimes, sunflowers on the sly in public places just to spruce up the neighborhood. (Actually, many of the Riverwesterners I know are like sunflowers with hardy stems that soak up toxins and with faces filled with cheer and light.)
So many people and places defined my 18 years of Riverwest bliss, from the lady with the snake wrapped around her neck at Locust Street Festival to the always-2-for-1 happy hour at Art Bar to Wednesday night bowling at the Polish Falcon.
Over the years, people moved from Riverwest in fits and spurts to "safer" neighborhoods. And I witnessed crimes, even took a couple of direct hits, but I never felt the need to move away despite suggestions that I should.
"Riverwest is not for everyone," was usually all I would say. "But it works for me."
And then, one day, it didn't. Not because of the neighborhood, but because of my need to plant sunflowers in fresh spaces. After a series of endings, I had this deep desire to bust out of the one-square-mile radius I had lived in my entire life. And so I folded up my futon, extinguished my incense and moved to Walker's Point.
space_cadet | March 8, 2012 at 4:15 p.m. (report)
Very nice article that reminds me of so many great times and interesting people I knew in Riverwest from about 1993 until about 2006. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, knew Molly when she was 18, glad to see her recording worthwhile experiences to share. I think I understand the comment re. snobbery, based on nickles and dimes, though I never saw her as such. Perhaps there is something unsettling about referring to a house price as a "nickle", which is apparently code for a large amount of money ($50,000?). I'd love to be wealthy enough to see 50 grand as a nickle, 100 grand as a dime!! Thank goodness some of us made it, and the rest will keep trying. Love.

I too have just left Riverwest after 6 years. I'm now back in Bayview after living there first in the early 90's( when it wasn't cool to live there.) I didn't move for any reason but Molly's, a new perspective on life. New view. I miss Riverwest for it's originality and tenacity, my numerous excellent friends and acquaintences. It was the first neighborhood I truly cared about, proud I was an important part of the texture of living there. I volunteered at the power down festival, helped out at Rockerbox, enjoyed the Locust St. Festival, spent my money in all of the neighborhood restaurants and bars. Indeed there are issues, but as with anywhere, you take the bad with the good and try to do your part to make it just a bit better. (ie planting flowers, starting a block watch, attending meetings at the police department, etc) And, if you look at is as a whole, it's Milwaukee. And anywhere in Milwaukee is cool enough.

you had me up until the ending. Was there a larger reason or specific incident that led to the move? Why Walker's Point? Feels like a lateral move to me. Will there be a follow-up: "Hello, Fifth Ward".

You had me right up until the end. It seems like you have more to say, like an incident which leads to the move, or better explanation to the specific choice in the move (which feels kind of lateral, quite frankly). Is there going to be a part 2: "Hello, Walkers Point"?

'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Season Premiere Recap

- Text Size
By Christine Jane Caparras | June 10, 2014 1:00 PM EST
The season premiere of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" came out just a couple of weeks after all the hoopla of the Kim and Kanye wedding. Since then, most of the news had been centered on the newlyweds and Rob Kardashian who walked out of the wedding. In the season premiere of the latest season however, Kourtney was the star of the show as she confirmed pregnancy rumours for her and Scott Disick's third child.

Television personalities and sisters Khloe (L), Kourtney (C) and Kim Kardashian arrive at the 2014 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California March 2, 2014. REUTERS/Gus Ruelas
Other big revelations showed Khloe struggling with the move as someone has already made an offer on her and Lamar Odom's house. The previous seasons barely tackled the situation with Khloe and Lamar and showed only a little bit of friction and the latter's constant absence in the show. The family helps Khloe with packing her things but it all ends up a disaster when she realizes that too many people helping out ends up with thing being more disorganized than she had hoped. The whole thing leads to an argument with Malika and Kortney as Khloe feels pressured and pushed to deal with things in a manner that's uncomfortable to her. A shadow of the old Khloe who preferred to deal with Lamar's transfer struggles to Houston alone is showing in this new move.
Meanwhile, momager Kris Jenner is at it again and is criticized by Kim as she goes out to a rap concert with P.Diddy. Kris also insists on joining K and friend Larsa Pippen in a pole dancing class much to Kim's embarrassment.
The girls also walked in on Kris doing a photo shoot in a bikini which elicited some violent reactions and subsequently hurt Kris' feelings. Kim talks to her mom and the two eventually make up in true Kardashian fashion and sealed it with a selfie. Later in the episode Khloe tells Kim and Kris that the two of them can have a MILF-off. Kim, the new mom is duly flattered to be called a MILF.
Scott Disick picked out a gift for Kourtney in the form of a white Ferrari. Naturally of course, Kourtney was not exactly jumping around once she sees the surprise. Scott is frustrated once again from Kourtney's inability to express her emotions. Kourtney decides to do something about it and hires a healing practitioner to whom she admits she feels like she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Finally, the episode ended with a bang when Kourtney tells Scott about her pregnancy. Catch more of the Kardashians on E! Check your local listings.
