When two complementary sources are combined in the proper amplitude and phase, desirable radiation characteristics for feeding a circular aperture are obtained. It is shown that when the feed is achieved there results a circular beam cross section which optimizes the efficiency of illumination of a circular aperture. The back radiation from the feed is down 30 db from that in the forward direction, minimizing interference effects between feed and aperture. It is the purpose of this thesis to show how a feed composed of complementary sources has been physically realized and to present and discuss experimental radiation and impedance data. It is well known that the radiation pattern of an electric dipole is a circle in the

Score from 85 reviews Good
Very beautiful littel hotel with modern finishes. The staff was very helpfull, especially the lady at reception.
Wifi was only in the reception area available.
The staff was very helpful and we were thankful that they spoke English! The breakfast was excellent. They have a nice outside patio to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. The room was quite clean though there was some mold in the shower. There was an AC unit in the room. The bed was very comfy. It is in walking distance of most of the main tourist attractions. We got the OMNIA Pass and the hotel was very close to stop 7 on the bus tour.
They never changed our bed sheets which I found a little odd since we were there 4 nights but they did give us fresh towels every day. Check-in time is at 2 but our flight got us there in the morning. They did let us check in a couple of hours early but they made sure to let us know several times that it was before check in time. We wouldn't have had a problem waiting longer but our luggage that they were holding for us was just left in the lobby which isn't very secure.
hair in the shower run down
staff was good
noise on location and hot water shortage
Staff were excellent as was the breakfast each morning. The hotel is very clean and in a good location: walking distance to the Colosseum, Form & many churches; right on the bus line to the Vatican. The best restaurants were through the old city wall along Via Gallia (the opposite direction of the tourist sites). Try Mangiafuoco: great pasta & the best pizza we had in Rome all for a very reasonable price. As we strolled back from the restaurant, Gellato was a must!
The room was a bit small however, as North American's, we have been spoiled with space. The hotel is very close to a hospital so ambulances run throughout the night which might be troubling to a very light sleeper.
The staff at this hotel was wonderful: courteous, efficient and thoughtful. We had problems with unauthorized transactions on our debit card, and the lady at the front desk was extremely helpful in getting the problem resolved. We are so grateful. The room was perfect, with a small terrace on which we could sit and review our busy day and enjoy a glass of superb Italian wine. I would return here in a heartbeat. The location was also perfect - a short walk for the coliseum and the centre of all the action!
Other than the fact that we did not want to leave, there was nothing about our experience at Hotel Valeri that we dd not like.
Pleasant part of Rome
Not much. At times the walls seemed rather thin.
Location : moderately apart from popular tourist attractions which kept my staying here peaceful Also with good access to Termini (10 mins by bus) Kind staffs : almost 24 hour run reception, staffs are extremely kind. They even let me have breakfast way earlier than schedued hour
No slipper, no shampoo & conditioner but considering the price, i think this shouldn't be a problem.
Great location and plenty of places to go out for lunch and dinner close by.
Breakfast was a let down. Toast, eggs and ham n cereal. No orange juice, beans, mushrooms etc.
Stuff are very supportive and nice
Cleaniness need to improve.
The room was clean and enough large. We slept very well. The breakfast was very good and the hot drinks are very good quality. They prepare for you what do you want (hot chocolate, expreso...).
In the last morning we didn't have hot water.
Personnel are very nice. Very clean. Breakfast is good
Room is quite small
At the time of our booking, the listing on booking.com said it had parking on site. We booked our hotels for our trip based on this requirement. When he checked in and found out that the listing was wrong, they refused to allow us to shorten our stay out alert it in any way without paying the full amount. The listing also said there is Wi-Fi in all areas which also was not true. Lastly, we asked for advice on the best way to get to Vatican city. We were given very wrung advice that lead to is spending inert an hour and a half on a bus that should have only taken 20 minutes. In short, know this stuff going in and you may be okay but this place isn't the best when you have a small child.
Loved everything, especially the staff!!
The staff were very nice, we had a problem with the hot water on the first day but it was fixed pretty quickly, they even offered us beverages for the inconvenience. Really comfortable beds and the overall look is immaculate, very good price for such an amazing hotel.
There was nothing I didn't particularly dislike, just some tips such as the toilet brush should be replaced immediately, they should have an extra glass in the shower cabinet, water goes everywhere and the toilet sit is so high up in room 6, my legs were in the air and I am "5.10, some DIY in the walls and door frames, but then again is just my opinion, I am a bit OCD.
Excellent location, not too busy and noise levels minimal at night. Only 10 min stroll from the coliseum and other attractions. The hotel was very very clean and perfect for our stay. We were greeted by a friendly staff member at midnight and showed us too our room and helped carry our cases which was very helpful after a very long day with our baby son. Breakfast was excellent for a 3 star hotel, not much choice but perfect for us to start the day. Also the other staff members during the day were very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone especially couples and we would definitely stay there again if visiting Rome in the future
Only downfall was not having a bath for our baby boy but this was our fault as we should have requested one of the other rooms with a bath in it
In general all good, great value for money, friendly staff and location +
No internet available in my room
Room noisy at top of stairs
Comfortable bed, large bathroom. The breakfast is ample, although more savoury options would be good. We had a small courtyard, which was fantastic to use after a hard day exploring Rome. Great location, with short walk to the Metro. Restaurants close walk away.
Be warned about room 7. The courtyard was great, but the walls of the room are thin, and the room is next to the reception. I could hear the noise of the receptionist moving in their chair. Let alone when a loud family of Americans checked out at 6am one morning, going back and forwards down the corridor at top voice.
Great breakfast. Friendly staff.
The street noise during the night.
Very knowledgable lady at Reception. Room looked nice - but it would appear we didn't get the room we thought we had booked as it was much much smaller. Location was good for collosseum. Would recommend based on presentation, but think room location is a big key as to whether this meets expectations.
Didn't get room we thought we had booked. Room was right next to Reception and on the other side a family with a young child who was quite distressed. Family didn't appear to do much/care to calm the child down. Staff did try and speak to family but it didn't change much. Room also faced street which was very noisy with sirens- believe it is right near a hospital. Would have appreciated being relocated to another room this wasn't able to be done...
The rooms were modern with a courtyard or balcony, breakfast was very good, the staff was very helpful, and it was close to the bus lines.
The staff was the absolute friendliness they help with anything they can. The breakfast is basic croissants, rolls, cereal, and fruit. They'll ask if you want meat and cheese and say yes! I had like 3 cups of tea every morning. The beds our the comfiest with one regular pillow and one tempurpedic. The location was great for us because we're big walkers. The hotel was a max 10 min walk from the colosseum and then the metro station is right next to the colosseum. Also if you go across the street, straight through the little park and left all the way at the end of the street is a supermarket. The price was absolutely amazing for what you get. Would recommend to anyone.
We stayed 2 times and the second time we stayed our refrigerator didn't work.
The hotel staff, location, breakfast and rooms are good.
Nothing in particular, the hotel is very good in it own location, if it was in another city I would might say not a good hotel, but in Rome, that was a good one. Definitely will use it again next time.
Absolutely nothing to fault. Great location, great breakfast, great room, great staff.

I'm thinking about making the switch to AG but have a few quesitons.
1. After you drain the wort after the sparge, how do you consistently get the right volume of liquid for the boil? So if you're doing a 5 gallon batch, and after sparging get 4 gallons of wort (or 6) do you add more water or (or boil it down sufficiently) until you hit your boil gravity?
2. Do you use grains that you would normally have to steep for an extract brew in AG? Would you just incorporate them in the mash or steep them in the wort once its been extracted?
The way I do it is to estimate losses and then add those losses to my batch volume. That gives me the total water required...then I decide how to split up that water between strike water, infusion water (sometimes more than one infusion), and sparge water.
The biggest losses you're likely to encounter are the water absorbed by the grain and water lost to evaporation during the boil. There also might be some dead spaces in your equipment where you leave some wort...like there is a small dead space below the valve in my lauter tun but it's less than 2 cups. These losses vary so you need to measure things and find out how much you lose.
Take as accurate measurements as you can. You're gonna need to be able to measure wort volume when it's in the boil kettle and when it's in the fermenter so make sure you have a way to do that before you start. I use a long bamboo skewer marked off in gallons and just stick it down in the pot. I mark off gallons on the outside my glass carboys. You want both measurements to agree...i.e. you want 5 gallons measured in your pot to exactly equal 5 gallons measured in your fermenter. Hot water expands so make sure you account for that when measuring volumes.
You should probably measure your gravity and volume pre-boil...that way you'll know what your gravity will be once you've boiled it down to your intended batch volume and you can adjust if needed. Add DME if you're too low and add water if you're too high. If you add water you're gonna have some leftover wort...just freeze it and use it for starters...boiled of course.
I throw all the grains in the mash together...most people do.
This and everything else involved may seem like a lot at first but it's really not. It may help to actually write down the process and mentally go through it first.
thanks for the tips, great call on the checklist. I was planning on writing it all down so I don't screw it up because of some stupid mistakes.
As far as figuring out how much water, etc. you have to guesstimate at first. Once you have your process tuned up, you can plug your efficiency numbers into beersmith (or any other software) and it will tell you how much grain etc. to use very accurately.
Until then, you can add water or extract to get the gravity you want, or boil down to get higher gravity if you want instead of adding extract (although you will lose volume that way too.)
Don't worry, I was worried about AG too, but this weekend I did my first and it well VERY well, even though my preparations consisted of running to the hardware and back to work (machine shop) to tweak my equipment.
The actual mashing etc. was NOT hard. Wish I'd spent a bit of money on going AG a long time ago!

This delicious glazed ham is made to impress. Its sticky apricot glaze will leave you with juicy slices of warm ham and with a little tweaking can be used as a sauce after you have finished cooking.
Peel the ham skin off gently, leaving a good layer of fat.
Score a diamond pattern into the fat and stud cloves into the criss cross junctions. Sprinkle cinnamon all over.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a small saucepan, heat the jam with a few tablespoons of the sherry to thin it out.
Spread about half of this mix over the top of the ham and press the brown sugar over the glaze generously. Make sure that the sugar is pressed into all the gaps.
Place the ham in a baking dish and add 2cm of water.
Bake for one and half hours. Baste every 20 minutes and be careful not to burn it.
Add the mustard to the remaining glaze and pour over the cooked ham slices at the table.

Canada ends 2014 on a note
Nov 20 2014 03:31 PM | Grant in Some Canadian Guys
Even the non-sentient drone tasked with filming Tuesday's friendly between Canada and Panama at the Rommel Fernández stadium appeared to have had enough of the fouling, flopping and general awfulness at one point during the second half, fluttering dejectedly through the main camera shot down to the sideline below.
In the eternal footballing debate of "if you want entertainment go to the theatre" versus "only results matter" it is now beyond crystal clear -- as in words can't describe how transparent it is -- where supporters of this Canada team must position themselves.

Eager-to-please Panama awaits Canada challenge
Nov 17 2014 06:00 PM | Grant in Some Canadian Guys
Last week, Panama manager "Bolillo" Gomez opined on his team's upcoming matches against El Salvador and Canada, describing them not as mere friendlies but as opportunities to climb higher on the world football ladder. That's some ambitious spin, especially to the ears of Canada supporters accustomed to following their team play in empty, decrepit stadiums on Fifa friendly dates.
But Panama have stuff to prove. After muddling along in mediocrity and obscurity for several decades, the past few years have seen a resurgence, a runner-up spot in the Gold Cup here, a narrowly missed spot in a World Cup playoff there. Like Canada, they're coming off an October that featured a narrow loss in a game they were expected to lose by a wider margin. In this case a hard fought 1-nil encounter against Mexico in Querétaro. Like Canada, Panama appointed a new manager following an unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign. And like Canada, Panama want to finish 2014 on a high note against a direct rival.

Episode 85 - The AFTN Podcast - "There's Still Time" (Five Have A Mystery To Solve)
Nov 14 2014 10:00 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
So, apparently it's still the offseason for Vancouver Whitecaps. That whole time travelling experiment didn't seem to work. Ah well, don't worry because "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is back with another roundtable for your aural pleasure.
Episode 85 reunites your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher, AFTN writer Jay Duke, and Curva Collective's Zachary Meisenheimer and Steven Lamothe, to discuss the latest happenings in Whitecapsland.
Last episode was a look back at the season just past, but this week it's time to take a look to the future, as the Famous Five set out to solve some mysteries that would make Enid Blyton proud.
The Caps will be announcing what's happening with some of the squad pretty soon, so we take a look at which players we feel should stay and which ones need to be set free. Who earned their corn? Who costs too much money? And which players should Vancouver look to protect in the expansion draft?
Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson shares some thoughts on his plans for the upcoming drafts and the chances of Erick Torres landing in Vancouver. With trade talk getting underway throughout MLS, we ponder which players we'd love to see the Caps bring in, and ship out and who has a big part to play in a busy season next year that includes Champions League football for the first time. How will Vancouver fans react to that?
Everyone's / no-one's favourite quiz show "30 Seconds To Mars" returns to ask who should partner Laba, Koffie or Teibert? Which young player will break out for the Caps next season? And who should be inducted into the next Ring of Honour?
And there's still time to ask, "Do you remember your first time?".

Musings Ahead of Another TFC Offseason
Nov 12 2014 09:19 PM | Michael Crampton in 24th Minute
Let's start here: I think trying to predict Greg Vanney's likelihood of achieving success as TFC's manager is basically impossible. There is a lot of tea leaf reading going on as different parts of the TFC discussion space do their best to convince themselves (and others) that Greg Vanney is "the man". On the other hand, he's not really unlikely to be successful either. It's pretty close to tabula rasa at this point.

MLS Week in Review – Playoffs: Conference Semifinals Second Legs
Nov 12 2014 02:43 PM | James Grossi in 24th Minute
And with that, the final four is set, as the chase for the 2014 MLS Cup moves on to the conference final stage where New England will face New York in the East and Seattle and Los Angeles tangle in the West.
The four matches that comprised the second legs of the conference semifinals took place over the weekend with a single match on Saturday, two on Sunday, and the fourth game played on Monday night in Seattle, resulting in three home wins and a single draw. Despite that home strength, no side was able to overcome first leg deficits and the first enactment of the so-called 'away-goals rule' came into play as Dallas and Seattle drew both matches.
Twelve goals were scored in a rather high-scoring round, an average of three-per-match – a five-goal outpouring in LA balanced the scoreless draw in Seattle. Ten yellow cards were shown – a modest amount, while four red cards reared their heads – three straight and one accumulative; two each in DC and New England, as the hard-fought East worked its way down to the final two contenders.
Before the results, the goals of the round:

Canadian national team "definitely" still in Tesho Akindele's plans
Nov 11 2014 08:35 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
Tesho Akindele caused quite the commotion last week when speculation was rife that the Calgary born FC Dallas striker was set to shun the Canadian national team in favour of a call-up from the US.
The speculation was given further credence when the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) announced their squad on Thursday for a week long camp in Florida and a friendly against Panama next Sunday.
Not only was Akindele's name missing from the 23 man roster, but the CSA went as far as to include the sentence "Of note, MLS FC Dallas Tesho Akindele declined an invitation to attend the camp," in their press release.
The online knives were soon out, two and two were put together to make five, and Akindele was being added to the growing list of Canadian footballers to call another national team their home.
But as is often the case with internet speculation, all is not quite as it first seemed, as AFTN discovered when we spoke with Akindele in Seattle on Monday evening.

Keep, Trade or Release 2014: A Vancouver Whitecaps player analysis (Part Two - Midfielders and Forwards)
Nov 10 2014 05:00 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
It still feels that Vancouver Whitecaps' 2014 MLS season finished too soon. But over it is.
A busy offseason for Carl Robinson will mean changes to the squad to make it stronger for next season. After the somewhat wholesale changes of the past season, the Whitecaps at least have a stronger and larger solid core to move forward with, but of course, with this being an expansion draft year, there are other things to be taken into consideration too.
With all that in mind, we continue AFTN's annual "Keep, Trade or Release" feature.
We got all of AFTN's writers for this season to take a look at the current Whitecaps squad and say whether they would keep them around for next season, trade them for more valuable assets or to fill positions of need, or just release them into the wild altogether. This year, we've also added in some report card grades.
The first part looked at the Caps' Goalkeepers and Defenders, and Part Two takes a look at the Midfielders and Forwards, and don't forget to leave your thoughts below....

Keep, Trade or Release 2014: A Vancouver Whitecaps player analysis (Part One - Goalkeepers and Defenders)
Nov 09 2014 08:00 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
As the Major League Soccer Conference semi-finals get played to a conclusion this weekend, it still feels that Vancouver Whitecaps' 2014 MLS season finished too soon.
But over it is.
The Whitecaps held their final player testing of the season on Monday, with exit interviews for each player taking place over the last few days. What we can expect next is the announced release of certain players and the trade speculation will be in full force.
To make the squad stronger there needs to be changes and there will be. After the somewhat wholesale changes of the past season, the Whitecaps at least have a stronger and larger solid core to move forward with, but of course, with this being an expansion draft year, there are other things to be taken into consideration too.

Episode 84 - The AFTN Podcast - "There's Still Time" (Five Go Adventuring Again)
Nov 07 2014 09:44 PM | Michael McColl in "There's Still Time" - The AFTN Soccer Podcast
Sadly it's now the offseason for Vancouver Whitecaps, but fear not, because "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, will still be with you through these cold, wet and dreary winter months.
Episode 84 is here your aural enjoyment and it's the first of a series of special end of season roundtables that we'll bring you over the next few weeks.
Your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher are joined by AFTN writer Jay Duke, and Curva Collective's Zachary Meisenheimer and Steven Lamothe, to discuss the latest happenings in Whitecapsland.
We have to start with the playoff loss in Dallas, but we also take a look back at the season past. Is there any way you can't class it as a success for the Caps?
The Whitecaps players faced the media for the last time this week and had their exit interviews, and we bring you audio from Sebastian Fernandez and Darren Mattocks, as they discuss the season and what lies ahead for both of them.
The Caps season may be over but there's still a lot to play for in MLS. We discuss who we think will win the MLS Cup, who we want to win it and who we don't, and Caps' coach Carl Robinson chips in his thoughts too.
And there's still time to share what song we, and some of our listeners, feel sums up the Whitecaps season best, and our "popular" gameshow 30 Seconds To Mars makes it's return.

Timewasting: Top Ten Names For TFC's "It's A Bloody Big Deal 2" - The Sequel
Nov 07 2014 01:10 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
You know, we haven't done one of our "Top Ten Lists" for ages. It's been a staple of AFTN going back to our fanzine days in the early 90's. But after reading the news of Toronto FC's transfer targets of Steven Gerrard and Wesley Sneijder on 24th Minute, we just felt inspired.
Now, you would think after making a big splash with Defoe, Bradley and their "Blood Big Deal" marketing campaign, and then seeing all their hopes and expectations crash and burn in such spectacular fashion over the course of the season, that TFC and their fans would maybe want things to be a little bit more low key this offseason.
They might. But just in case they don't, AFTN is here with our usual helping hand for Toronto's marketing team, as we bring you the Top Ten Names For TFC's "It's A Bloody Big Deal 2" - The Sequel....

MLS Week in Review – Playoffs: Knockout Rounds & Conference Semifinals First Legs
Nov 04 2014 06:45 PM | James Grossi in 24th Minute
Well, it's finally here. After a long season, all the twists and turns, the hunt for the 2014 MLS Cup has begun, with the first two rounds having gotten underway over the past week.
The knockout round passed without a major twist – both fourth-placed sides moving past their fifth-placed guests by 2-1 score-lines, though controversy and the exit of the defending Champions ensured Wednesday and Thursday were not without drama.
Those one-off meetings gave way to the post-season proper, with all four conference semifinals getting underway on Saturday and Sunday.
Once more there were no major surprises – aside from a rather forceful road performance all but confirming New England through to the next round; the remaining three pairings have plenty to play for come the second legs.
Through six matches, this season's playoffs have resulted in three home wins, two draws, and a single, lonely away victory, thus exhibiting how crucial home-field advantage, especially in a single-game, may be.
Sixteen goals have been scored, an average just shy of three-per-match – the six-goal goal-fest in Columbus balanced out by a score-less draw later that evening in Salt Lake – three of which have come from three attempts via the penalty spot.
All told eighteen yellow cards have been shown, as the referees managed – for the most part – to keep a lid on the emotions that come from such critical encounters. And just a single red, given to a very vociferous Sebastian Fernandez after the final whistle, as he attempted to convey his disappointment at losing in the direction the match official.

AFTN's Vancouver Whitecaps End Of Season Awards - 2014
Nov 02 2014 05:00 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
A heartbreaking end to Vancouver Whitecaps' season in Dallas on Wednesday night. No matter how much time passed before we ran our annual 'End of Season Awards' this year, it would still hurt.
But the 'Caps did themselves proud. Their second playoffs in three years, their first ever CONCACAF Champions League place clinched and back to back Cascadia Cups. Add in their highest ever points total in MLS and lowest ever number of losses, and it's been a pretty damn good year.
Still, it could have been better and you are left with a lot of "what ifs", especially around just what could have been achieved if they'd actually got a proper striker.
It's all over now though for another season, so it's time to look back at the best and the worst, the highs and the lows, and the joys and annoyances from the Caps' 2014 season.
Don't agree with some (or all) of our choices? Great! Let us know who would have got your votes in the comments below.

Picture it, Costa Rica, the spring of 2014. A man drags his reluctant wife to an empty pub to watch the home nation face Italy in the U17 Women's World Cup. Man tests his Spanish by engaging the the bartender in conversation. After several tortured minutes, a question arises: how big a deal is hosting a youth women's World Cup in this soccer-mad country? Realizing words were problematic, the barkeep raises his right above his head and says in measured Spanish: "In Costa Rica, the man is here." He then placed his left hand a foot or so lower and adds, "the woman is here."

Eight years in a row...2014 TFC season review: Part III -- What went really wrong?
Oct 31 2014 10:45 AM | Duane Rollins in 24th Minute
Pinpointing a single thing that most went wrong with a TFC season is usually a challenge. In 2014, so long as you're willing to be flexible in your interpretation of what a single incident is, it's a little easier.
In fact you can summarize it in two names.
Two names that in many ways defined all that was good and bad with TFC's season.
Many of you are probably guessing those names to be Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley. That's close, and I could probably write an essay defending that. However, that's not who it is.
The single biggest thing that went wrong with 2014 was...

Report and Reaction: Controversial call ends Whitecaps season with 2-1 playoff loss in Dallas
Oct 30 2014 03:28 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
[Match report and full postgame reaction as Vancouver Whitecaps' season was ended in heartbreaking and controversial fashion down in Dallas on Wednesday evening]
Vancouver Whitecaps' season came to a controversial end in Frisco, Texas on Wednesday night in a 2-1 playoff loss to FC Dallas.
An out of sorts Whitecaps went in at half time 1-0 down to a 40th minute Tesho Akindele strike, but Vancouver valiantly fought back in the second half and tied things up in the 64th minute through Erik Hurtado.
With the Caps in the ascendancy and looking like the only team that was going to go on and win the tie, the game turned with a disputed penalty call by referee Mark Geiger that led to Michel stroking home what was to prove to be the winning goal with just six minutes remaining.

Seattle playoff semi-final is mouthwatering motivation for Caps in Dallas
Oct 29 2014 07:12 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
Apart from the obvious motivation of winning and advancing in the playoffs, there are a number of underlying added incentives for Vancouver Whitecaps as they prepare to face Dallas in their first round playoff knockout match this evening.
There's the fact that the Caps players don't want to undo all the hard work of the past five games in clinching a playoff place only to see it all end up done in one. There's also been much made by the players of keeping this group together for as long as possible because the team camaraderie is excellent and they know that the squad will soon be split up and many faces will move on.
This will be the Whitecaps second appearance in the playoffs in their four years in MLS. Last time they fell in LA at the first hurdle, so they've yet to host a home playoff match. That is an already stated big goal of the club and would show advancement.
And it's in that fact that perhaps gives Vancouver the biggest added incentive of all. If the Caps can beat Dallas, not only would they be hosting their first ever home MLS playoff match on Sunday evening, it would be a part of a mouthwatering two-legged Western Conference semi final against Cascadian rivals, and downright annoyances, Seattle Sounders.

Richard Kachkar murder trial: Snowplow driver told police he was 'sick'
Kachkar said in a recorded interview two weeks later that he remembered little of his rampage that killed a police officer.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The man who went on a rampage with a stolen snowplow, killing a Toronto police sergeant, claimed to be "sick" when interviewed by homicide detectives.
"Obviously I'm sick," Richard Kachkar said in an audio-recorded interview on Jan. 25, 2011, two weeks after he killed Sgt. Ryan Russell.
"A normal person wouldn't do that," he said. "Maybe I have some kind of disease in my head or something."
Kachkar, 46, has pleaded not guilty in Ontario Superior Court to dangerous driving and first-degree murder in the Jan. 12 death of Russell.
There is no dispute a barefoot Kachkar stole the idling snowplow and marauded through city streets. Only his state of mind is in question.
Kachkar told the officers in the 2½ hour, rambling interview he remembered little of what happened. "It's like a dream or something," he said. "I didn't even know what I was doing."
But flashes returned: "The cars coming and going this way and that way, and I can't turn and, just confused."
He expressed remorse for the tragedy. "It's just — it's just a horrible thing," he said. "I'm sorry. Sorry is not even a word."
He said he hoped Russell's family was not angry.
"I'm just so, um, sad that I did something like that tragic," he said.
Kachkar said he felt rejected by his ex-wife and two grown children in St. Catharines. He came to Toronto to start afresh, but contemplated suicide by jumping off the Gerrard St. bridge the night before he stole the snowplow, he said.
He said he sought psychiatric help at a clinic but was told he had to wait. So he left.
"I felt so empty and dreamed and I didn't know where I was going, what I'm doing."
The trial continues before the jury Tuesday.

Researchers have come closer to finding the origins of Native Americans with the discovery of a baby boy buried in Montana 12,600 years ago. Researchers say that the boy's genome proved that his people were direct ancestors of many of today's native peoples in the Americas.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The oldest genome ever recovered from the New World, artifacts found with the body show the boy was part of the Clovis culture, which existed in North America from about 13,000 years ago to about 12,600 years ago. The tribe is named for an archaeological site near Clovis, New Mexico.
The boy's genome showed that he was more closely related to those in Central and South America than to those in Canada. The reason for that difference is not yet clear.
Pray for the native peoples of all nations.
Scientists say they have no Native American DNA from the United States available for comparison. They're working under the assumption that the results would be similar, with some Native Americans being direct descendants and others also closely related.
The boy's ancestors came from Asia, which supports the standard idea of ancient migration to the Americas by the way of a land bridge that disappeared long ago.
Genome sequencing in November 2013 on the arm bone of a three-year-old Siberian boy known as the "Mal'ta Boy" - the world's oldest known genome - showed that Native Americans share up to 35 percent of their DNA with people in Eurasia, the Middle East and Europe.
While Native Americans still have genetic connections to East Asia, the extent of their DNA shared with Eurasians was previously unknown. Some scientists believe it is the result of intermingling with Europeans after their colonization of the Americas.
Found northeast of Livingston, Montana, the area is the only burial known from the Clovis culture. The boy was from one year to 18 months old when he died of an unknown cause.
He was buried with 125 artifacts, including spear points and elk antler tools. Some were evidently ritual objects or heirlooms. Covered with powdered red ochre, a natural pigment, the body indicated a burial ceremony.
The skeleton was discovered in 1968 next to a rock cliff. It's only in recent years that scientists have been able to recover and analyze complete genomes from such ancient samples.

"Skip the first two books"
All you need to know is here. Unfortunately that's not entirely positive...but I must insist that if you didn't already read the Girl who Played with Fire, you didn't miss anything because this book covered book 2 completely. I think my major objection is character development by detail instead of action. I don't think I care that all Swedes wear black pants and white shirts or that Palm Treos have 3 gig, megs, bits, whatever, too much trivia does not make for character development.
"What's up with this listeners"
"Though Dr. Petrie had to be at least 60 years old, she sprang easily to her feet" say What? Really? she wrote that and all you reviewers missed that most insulting remark??? Plus the narrator voices her as "old." Hello, I'm 65, working, enjoying my 4 rambunctious grandchildren. I don't think you'd call me spry; you'd call me 50 and scratch your head when I told you my age. This may be minor to everyone else, but I'm stopping right here and taking amazon up on its offer of a free return. Now I just have to figure out how.
"Mostly enjoyable"
Like its predecessor, The Eight, the heroine is in pursuit of magical mystery. Unlike The Eight, it's narration of historical events is more tedious to me - probably not the author's fault, but my own since I know only a bit of middle east and African history. So I did spend some time looking up the history to get a better understanding. But not that you have to, that's just a path I travel for an historical novel.
My only complaint is the narrator. Her voice was much too mature for Alexandra who is suppose to be 22. She sounds 52. Denaker does a nice job with the other characters. That said, I frequently felt her performance to be forced, as if the story bored her and Alexandra as well.
"Where's the story?"
After six hours, I threw in the towel. And I used one of my two credits for this! Olivier a spoiled brat and Parrot an abused child - I should have been sympathetic, but it all felt too alien. The only part that was intriguing was Parrot becoming the chamber pot emptier for a poor abused counterfeiter. And I still don't know what this book was suppose to be about. Too long a journey for this listener.
"I don't get it"
I read Picoult's website, carefully examining her reason for why she wrote this story, but I don't get it. If she thinks she has added to the body of knowledge of the Holocaust, she is sadly mistaken.
This story has a novel twist in it, but only one. It brings nothing new to the table regarding the Holocaust survivors. In fact, I just finished reading a few months ago the memoirs of women survivors in A Train in Winter before starting the Storyteller. In so many ways Storyteller repeats the exact same story. Picoult brings no new ways of understanding personal dynamics in the camps, no new ways of understanding survivors or their offspring. I'm to going to accuse her plagiarism, but scene for scene in the march out of the camp to the next camp, I could have been in the other book. Yes, I realize she used a lot of research but she should have read the body of literature out there already to be original.
I read A Train in Winter for book club; Storyteller for my own entertainment because I liked My Sister's Keeper. Picoult's Storyteller is one dimensional. For a nuanced look at suffering in WWII and a book which brings a new perspective to the table, try The Book Thief, or go see the movie.
"Disjointed and Spiritless"
Title says it all. He should have kept these stories under wraps. I prefer to remember how much I enjoyed American Gods, the Graveyard, Stardust.
"Fooled myself"
End user error. Thought I could enjoy a horror story because 1) I like fantasy, 2) I love Kate Mulgrew. I did enjoy Mulgrew's performance and hope to find another book she narrates. I couldn't connect with Vic on any level and just could not engage with the plot. But if horror is your genre, I'm sure you will rave like everyone else does.
"Wanted to like"
But after all the WWII books, fiction and non-fiction, I've read, I expect a new book about the camps and the war to bring something new to the table. It didn't. Re-reading Sophie's Choice is so much more rewarding.
"The Grisham I've Been Waiting For"
Story arc is great. Believable if just a little predictable- but enough plot twists to make keep it interesting. Even though it goes back to Clanton and Jake, it reads all new again and didn't bog down with so many references to A Time to Kill that it got in the way. This is a Grisham book to win new readers.
Special kudos to Michael Beck, narrator. His performance is outstanding. I now search on his name to see what might interest me if he's reading it.
"Could get better"
When writing a dystopian novel for YA, the author still needs to get gritty. Not be afraid of PG-13 ratings. There is something here, but lacks real grit to be worthy of comparisons between the Potter series or the Hunger Games, or a singularly good novel, The Book Thief.
"Really? For Adults?"
I get the metaphorical aspects - growing up, loss of innocence, tried and true story theme. But this comes no where close to what I would expect for a book enthused by so many readers as "adult." Want to read young adult books that speak to adults, try "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.
