CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (2/24/14) What would bring well over one hundred Muhlenberg county residents to the Central City Fitness Center's outdoor pool on a late winter day?
The 4-H Penguin Plunge!
This annual event helps provide the county's more than 600 eligible low-income children with backpacks full of healthy food to get them through each weekend.
Last year over 500 children qualified for the program.
The good news is Muhlenberg county residents stepped up to the ledge, and took the plunge to help feed those in need.
There were soaking wet clowns and cows, caped crusaders... and even local pharmacy chain owner Ron Poole as The Bachelor's Juan Pablo Poole.
When all the belly flops were over, the participants splashed up a final total of $11,230.28, according to Mackenize Pogue, Muhlenberg County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development.
Area churches, businesses, civic groups and area students all joined together for the cause.
Muhlenberg County Sheriff Curtis McGehee served as one of the three judges.
"It's encouraging to see this many people come out and take part in such a worthy cause. This is what being a part of Muhlenberg County is all about.. helping those in need," McGehee said.
Central City Mayor Barry Shaver was also on hand to help judge the Penguin Plungers, and getting splashed occasionally for a great cause.
"This is probably one of the most important yearly events we have in the county. They say it's good to give until it hurts. But the people of Muhlenberg County always give until it feels goods. It makes me proud to be a part of Muhlenberg County," Shaver said.
Muhlenberg County Circuit Court Clerk Cameron Laycock was judge number three, and didn't mind getting a little wet from some cannonball divers.
"It's all in good fun, but it's such an important cause. I can't think of a more important issue than for the residents to work together to help feed hungry children," Laycock said.
The Muhlenberg County 4-H Teen Club has focused on the "Food for Kids Backpack" program for over a decade.
The plunge accepts donations to participate and all proceeds go directly to their backpack program, according to Pogue.
You don't have to get wet to help.
To donation to the "Food for Kids Backpack" program, contact:
UK Extension Office
3690 State Route 1380, (off the 189 bypass in Central City).

The ASPCA is trying to help displaced families by taking in dozens of pets. Our Natasha Ghoneim has details.
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- Four-year-old Pluto and seven-year old Poppy shook and whined for attention as they arrived at Miller Field on Staten Island. With tails wagging, they waited as their owner took care of paperwork that will send them away for the next 30 days.
Evelyn Parrinrillo and her two sons have been forced out of their home due to extensive flood damage. The apartment they are living in for the time being is not dog-friendly, so her other "boys" need a temporary home.
"We're like in survivor mode," said Parrinrillo. "I needed to have my dogs settled so I can concentrate on rebuilding my house, getting back in there and getting back to a family again."
For three days, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals drove a mobile unit out to the areas affected most by Hurricane Sandy.
Pluto and Poppy will join animals ranging from ferrets to parakeets at a shelter in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, where they will receive free care, including a check-up and they will participate in what the ASPCA calls "enrichment programs" to stimulate them.
By Wednesday afternoon, displaced families had dropped off 150 pets and the number was expected to grow.
"I'm proud as a New Yorker that we're able to respond to animals in such a way," said Joel Lopez of ASPCA. "In disasters the thought is to focus on humans, which it should be. But often animals are forgotten. They're part of everyone's families."
By the time Pluto and Poppy ended up in crates, they had figured out this was not a fun outing after being cooped up in a moldy house for days. They were not the only ones feeling the pain of separation Sandy has forced upon so many families.
"It's very hard because I know they're going to be in good care," said Parrinrillo.
Pets can also be dropped off directly at the Brooklyn shelter.
To find temporary housing for a pet, visit aspca.org or call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at 1-347-573-1561.

Armenia beats France 19.5-12.5
On the day that Michael Jackson passed away, the rapid match in Paris between Armenia and France ended in a 19.5-12.5 victory for the Olympic gold medal winners. Tigran Petrossian had the highest score: 6 out of 8. Big pictorial report.
Michael Jackson's marble chess set which was part of an auction which was due to take place in April but was cancelled after a settlement had been reached with the pop star's legal team.
Not that I was big fan of Michael Jackson, but I must say that it's a pretty sad morning. He was weird, but he was also a genius - a word that's used too often, but is more than justified here.
The "King of Pop", a nickname no-one else deserved more, had an enourmous influence on a geneneration, on a decade. He set a new standard for music videos. His album Thriller broke all records (while Off the Wall was brilliant as well). Such a pity we won't get to see him in London!
Enough, enough, this is a chess website. Wednesday and Thursday France played Armenia in a rapid match in Paris. The home team consisted of Vachier-Lagrave, Fressinet, Lautier and Bauer, who met the twice Olympic gold winning Armenian team: Aronian, Akopian, Sargissan and Petrosian.
The match consisted of 8 rounds played on 4 boards at a rate of 15 minutes per game with an increment of 10 seconds for each move. The rapid match, held under the patronage of Bernard Laporte, Secretary of State for Sports, took place at the Hotel Castille in Paris. The winners received € 3000, the losers € 2000.
Journalist Antti Parkkinen provided us with all photos below and shared some interesting details. The event was organized by a private company (owned by French people of Armenian origin) that organizes various events. The playing hall was very small and there was not very much public, but the atmosphere was very friendly.
Vladimir Kramnik, who lives in Paris, was present and made a speech for the Armenian TV, which in fact broadcast the whole event live in Armenia! French TV cameras were only seen during the first day.

Lajos, Christian Bauer has a German(-sounding) name - Forbach is close to the German border, in an area that historically went back and forth between France and Germany.
The other team members (Vachier-Lagrave, Fressinet, Lautier) have 'pure French names', just like absentee Bacrot.
Exactly what is your problem??

@Frits Fritsch:
"Christian Bauer (born January 11, 1977 in Forbach, France)…"
I was born in Romania. Does that mean that I am Romanian?
@Thomas: I have no problem, but there is a significant difference between living in France and being French. If anybody says that Bauer is French, Bauer might be offended, because he is German. (I don't know for sure, but his name is German). Bauer is a French citizen, who is actually German. He is not French. I don't have a problem, but I'm curious why is it hard to tell the truth?
For example Fischer was american, because there is no american language and he was born in the US.
In the press Gelfand is "Israeli", not "Jew".
Why is Bauer "French" and not "French citizen"?
"French GM, author and coach Anatoli Vaisser"
This sentence is not true. He is a GM, author and coach, but he is not French.
Kramnik lives these days in France. If someday he will be a French citizen, is he authomatically become French? No problem, that nobody in his family speaks the language? No problem that he has no French traditions?
The word "French" is not a good or bad thing, it's just like being blond. Let's say that there is a village where everybody is blond. A man with brown hair emigrates there. From that moment is he blond, just because he lives in the blond village? This is absurd, isn't it?

I thought I just made a factual correction, but now I see this is terribly important to you.
Let me tell you, when the Swiss army doctor Ullrich Fritschy as part of the (French) napoleontic army came to the Netherlands in 1810, people may not immediately have viewed him as Dutch, even after he decided to stay. I hope you don't mind I consider myself so, after 200 years. Like most people in Alsace-Lorraine (Elzas-Lotharingen) consider themselves totally French. There might even be a few people with Hungarian names who consider themselves Roumanian. And what about the French president...

"If anybody says that Bauer is French, Bauer might be offended, because he is German. (I don't know for sure, but his name is German)"
Yes I think you don't know for sure :) Believe it or not, you can be born in France, have grown up there and have a name which doesn't sound French because of something called immigration.
Did you know the French president has an hungarian name?
- Log in to post comments
It is funny to witness a debate on questions relating to the notions of ethnicity and nationality on this forum. Since none of these notions can be demarcated from each other and defined thoroughly there is no point to provoke a debate on it. I do not tnihk many of us would state boldly, that Shirov is a Spaniard, or Gurevich a Turkish (I do not remember anyone referring to them as representatives of these ethnoses). On the other hand other chess players seem to be more "embedded" in the culture (?) of their host FIDE country, like Karjakin was for years was simply a Ukranian player and not a Russian representing Ukraine.
I think Lajos has his point noting that the notion (and corollary the cultural construction of nationality and ethnicity) of French and Frenchman, or French citizen is not the same. Perhaps Lajos would like to make the article more exact from the point of view of ethnic belonging, but I do not see the importance of that question in this very context.
Nonetheless I see not Lajos but the others being overenthusiastic in refusing the (in this case probably not so relevant, and hardly defiable) distinction between nationality, citizenship, ethnicity etc. Why? Lajos first comment was so simple and innocent. Why to be so touchy in regard of this question?
- Log in to post comments
Only Christian Bauer himself can tell, but the very fact that he played on the French team could indicate three things:
1) He is "pure French" and just inherited his German name from centuries ago (as Frits Fritschy does)
2) He may be "mixed German-French", but 'feels' French
3) At the very least, he doesn't care as much as he should (sensu Lajos Arpad).
By Lajos' logic, Robert Fischer would be German, many other US-Americans would be English, Irish, French, Spanish, African, .... and only American Indians would be truly American. Same for Israel .... .
And a 'true story' from someone I know, a certain Antoon Kuijpers (yes, the name is Dutch - he still has a Dutch passport and feels primarily Dutch). In the 1990's, he had a temprorary job in Germany where he met his German wife. Then, about 20 years ago, he got a permanent position in Copenhagen. Their children grew about (mostly) in Denmark, found Danish partners, speak Danish better than either Dutch or German, support the Danish football team against their parents' countries :) , ... . Are they (predominantly) Danish by now, notwithstanding their Dutch name, or not? What about their grandchildren?
- Log in to post comments
Small corrections to my previous post: "In the 1990's" should be 1980's - and at the end, "their grandchildren" is of course 'his grandchildren' (third generation - one parent Danish, the other one of 'mixed provenance').
@WGIFM: The main reason I had reacted was because Lajos' closing sentence in his first post ("I wonder whether are there still french in France.") is at least odd and can be easily answered or refuted ... .
- Log in to post comments
Yes WGIFM, of course there is a difference between being French or being a French citizen. Spassky has French nationality now and of course he's not a "real" French, just like Shirov in Spain or the examples you mentionned. And it's the same for Tkachiev or Vaisser.
The issue was more to say that Bauer COULDN'T be French because his name sounds German. This is just as stupid as saying someone can't be Danish because he's black.
So why being so touchy? Because this kind of ideas leads to hmm... let's say dubious ideas as: you can't be a real French, German or whatever if you don't have the right name, the right color of the skin and this kind of thing. And to think like that is just pathetic to me.

@ me: just browse in the comments of the post about Karjakin changing federation
- Log in to post comments
Where did you get that "Karjakin is just Russian living in Ukraine" part???
- Log in to post comments
For what it matters, I am (originally) German [German parents, German as a mother tongue, growing up in Germany, German passport]. Since 1998, I am living in the Netherlands. And I was actually born in the USA (as my father was working there for a year) but 'returned' to Germany when I was 10 days young ... .
Now some explanations/clarifications to my previous post:
1) What the USA and Israel have in common: In both cases the majority of the present population immigrated from elsewhere - one to many generations ago. BTW, I don't blame any present-day American for wars against Sioux, Navajo, ... or slavery - just like I (born in 1967) don't accept personal blame for Holocaust and World War II.
2) To become integrated in any given country, friends and partners matter at least as much as parents IMO - and more than distant family (aunts, uncles, cousins, ...) who live elsewhere and don't speak the country's language.
3) As far as 'refuting' Lajos' initial statement: I simply pointed out that 3 out of 4 players on the French team are French, no questions asked - so "there are French in France".
To throw in another name (somewhat similar story to Christian Bauer): What about GM Robert Ruck? If I read the name for the first time I might think he is German, Austrian, Swiss, maybe American. But I never considered it odd, strange or 'wrong' that he is Hungarian - possibly his (great-)grandparents are of Austrian ancestry and stayed in Hungary after the countries became separated. Looking through the Hungarian top 100, there are not many similar cases, the only other one I spotted is IM Peter Prohaszka - here the 'z' in his name may be a relatively recent addition!?

@Frits Fritschy: I have no problem with You considering yourself Dutch, I think You misunderstood me. It might be because of my bad English. I wanted to say that only the French people are French, only the Dutch people are Dutch. If You write about me that the "Romanian Lajos Arpad" I will be offended, simply because it's not true. It's like saying about a man that he is a woman. An article should be true. Saying about a Russian or Jew from Russia (Vaisser) and about a Russian (Tkachiev) that they are French is not a good thing, because these sentences are probably false.
"There might even be a few people with Hungarian names who consider themselves Roumanian."
Don't worry, I don't consider them Hungarians either.
"And what about the French president…"
He has Hungarian name, S?°rk??zy and has Hungarian ancestors. Ok, what about him?
"French", "hungarian"
"Did you know the French president has an hungarian name?"
I can see your opinion about the French people and about the Hungarian people.
"Spassky has French nationality now"
Very interesting. Spassky is French? Do You know where was he born? What is his mother tongue? Why did he emigrate?
"The issue was more to say that Bauer COULDN'T be French because his name sounds German."
Please, let me know, where did I say that? Didn't I say that I'm not sure about him?
"This is just as stupid as saying someone can't be Danish because he's black."
Well, thank You for calling me "stupid". If Your kind calls me "stupid", I'm becoming to feel better and better. And yes, there are no black Danish people. The reason of this is: black people emigrated there a few years ago. They are not Danish, they don't have the same culture.
"And to think like that is just pathetic to me."
Thank You, now everybody can see that, You, a liberalist person calls me stupid and pathetic just because I have a different opinion. That's what liberalism is about: Everybody can have his/her own opinion as long as it's liberalist.
I agree with You. You are right that this is not important here (we are all chess players), the reason behind my comment is:
I've seen on origo (a Hungarian chess portal) two different writings. In English You could read them like this::
"[...]The Hungarian Hoang Thang Thrang[...]" (I'm not sure if I've written her name correctly, she is Vietnamese, and immigrated into Hungary)
"[...]The Romanian Vajda Levente[...]" (he is Hungarian, he lives in the same town as I)
It was a very bad feeling to read the second type of sentence, because it's not true. The bad feeling becomes even worse if You see the first sentence. We might offend some people, because we don't respect their properties.
"By Lajos' logic, Robert Fischer would be German, many other US-Americans would be English, Irish, French, Spanish, African, …. and only American Indians would be truly American."
You are talking from my heart. European people killed millions of Americans to get their lands. And You know, native Americans are not Indians. Indian for example is Anand, the current world champion.
" Same for Israel …. ."
I didn't understand what you said here. Are You from Israel?
"Are they (predominantly) Danish by now, notwithstanding their Dutch name, or not? What about their grandchildren?"
Yes, probably they are, but You would probably agree that they would be Dutch or German if both their parents would be Dutch or German. I don't see the significance of this story.
"is at least odd and can be easily answered or refuted … ."
Please, I'm very interested.

"@ me: just browse in the comments of the post about Karjakin changing federation"
I see nothing else except one user claiming that he is Russian, just like you are doing now.

As usual on forums, things tend to get dragged a bit too far.
Both at my first and my second comment, I just wanted to say Christian Bauer is from Elzas-Lotharingen, a region that is from Carolingian times (805, to be exact) half German, half French - and literally so. I remember spending a holiday there, and people speaking changed in mid-sentence from German to French. Maybe you didn't know this - as far as I know an overwhelming majority of people from that region with German sounding names consider themselves French. I don't know all about it, but I think it's a different case with Hungarian speaking Romanians. I think it is a 95% odds bet that Bauer feels himself to be French.
So, maybe that should be the focal point: how do people feel about their nationality? You don't feel to be Romanian, so you are Hungarian. (Liviu)-Dieter Nisipianu may not feel German, so is probably Romanian. Vaisser just needs a slight change in his surname (like the writer Anatole France) to sound perfectly French, but why should he? If he wants to be French and they accept him, he is. When Anish Giri, from very mixed origin, starts liking "Boerenkool met worst" (reputedly our national dish), he may consider himself Dutch, if he wishes so, but he is quite right if he has a different taste (and still can be Dutch).
I certainly will not immediately combine a factual mistake with theories about black Danes.

Oh and Vincent,
talking about Scandinavians, who's the troll?
- Log in to post comments
@Frits Fritschy: I respect Your opinion, and I disagree. Let's say we agree to disagree.
Elzas-Lotharingen was part of both Germany and France, so, in Elzas-Lotharingen there are both French and German people, who are all citizens of France. Transylvania was part of Hungary for hundreds of years and from 1920 it's part of Romania. In a way the history of Elzas-Lotharingen and Transylvania are similar.
"Maybe you didn't know this" --> I know this perfectly, because I live in a region which is similar in a way. That's why we should ask Bauer of his nationality and only after the answer can we write that he is French or German. Wouldn't it be more accurate? If he is German he is not happy to be named French.
From today I feel like a god, so everybody has to accept my superior being. Of course, it's not important that my parents are not gods and I don't even know what is a god, but I feel like a god, so I am a god. Just kidding, of course. I'm sure You understand the serious half of my joke.
@Vincent: "Don't feed the troll…"
Now I am a stupid, pathetic troll. That's exactly what happens when people have nothing more to say, because they are out of ideas. They start to attack the person who are talking with. Just remember: I'm proud that in Your eyes I'm a stupid pathetic throll.
Why do we get so personal? We are supposed to congratulate the Armenian team for their excelent performance. My obviously ironic question is so painful for some people here. I was just pointing to something that is not accurate in the article in my opinion. Am I a heretic because I don't consider Vaisser and Tkachiev? Is that such a big problem? Some opinions seems to be a sin in the eyes of many. Just like in the book "1984".
I have a constructive idea: We have different ideas, that's truly natural. Let's act as intellectuals and stop this pointless debate,

@ me. Sorry, I cannot catch your point. What proof do you expect me to provide here on Karjakin's ethnic belonging? Scientific and narrative knowledge is of different character, and should not be subordinated to each other, this forum transmits more knowledge of narrative kind.
Actually he is from Krimea, a region of Russian minority in Ukraine.
@ethnicity debate:
I do not think that ethnicity is one's property. It is more idea, a cultural construction by which it is possible to mobilize a group of people and enhance in-group preference and cohesion. This idea is taught and interiorised in many ways and means in societies. As the "structures" (sorry for this stupid reducation) societies differs from each other by time and space, the way how people interpret questions regarding to ethnic belonging and identity vary severly. ?Årp?°d, you should accept that people might have double-identities, and hybridity is very much a constituent of cultural transmission. A German name, or a German cultural background does not necesary imply an exclusive German identity. So is the case of Danish people from Africa. Why do not they have the right to classify themselves as Danish people? How long one have to live in and learn a culture to have the right to claim his ethnic belonging? Just consider the HUngarian national poet Petrovich/ Pet?fi S?°ndor of Slovakian Lutheran mother and Serb father. I do not think, that anyone has the right to question his " Hungarianness".

I didn't get the idea with Scandinavians, Frits.
So maybe I'm the troll but I didn't start the provocation saying there were no more French in France because some have foreign names. This kind of idea just makes me sick in 2009. Why not say Obama is not a real American because he has a Kenyan name.
So I think this discussion is useless and probably too long now for chess readers.
So let's say everybody has its own opinion and lets' go back to chess.

@Thomas: very interesting answer.
"1) What the USA and Israel have in common: In both cases the majority of the present population immigrated from elsewhere - one to many generations ago. BTW, I don't blame any present-day American for wars against Sioux, Navajo, … or slavery - just like I (born in 1967) don't accept personal blame for Holocaust and World War II."
Yes, that's truly common in those country. In the USA most of the people are emigrants, because the native americans are very few compared to the immigrants. I don't blame the present day USA citizens either for the homicides that were not made by them. However, I blame them for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and their inhuman acts against palestinians. The "american" tradition of making wars is still alive. And of course, You can't be blamed for the holocaust.
"3) As far as 'refuting' Lajos' initial statement: I simply pointed out that 3 out of 4 players on the French team are French, no questions asked - so "there are French in France"."
I'm sure You understand that my initial statement jokingly pointed to an error. That is why I was very interested to the refutation of an obviously not true statement. GG understood this from the start.
"What about GM Robert Ruck?" If he has Hungarian tradition, he can become Hungarian, just like anybody else. He is not immigrant, probably one of his descendants was, but, I agree with Your point that he is Hungarian. I was just saying that in the region where Bauer lives there are many Germans, so he might be one. That is why there is a possible mistake in the artical. And the other people emigrated now. They are not French, they are imigrants. That's a vey important difference IMO.
"So is the case of Danish people from Africa. Why do not they have the right to classify themselves as Danish people? How long one have to live in and learn a culture to have the right to claim his ethnic belonging?"
In my opinion somebody who has no previous connection with an ethnicity can't be part of an ethnicity. Somebody, who is black, lives in Denmark and previously lived in Africa has no Danish culture, so he/she is not Danish. If a black person lives in Denmark and worked for Denmark all his/her life, his/her parents lived there too, he might be Danish. Looking to the fact that there are no people from the second type yet, IMO there is no black Danish people, possibly with a very very few exceptions. There are many imigrants who are more African than Danish.
About Pet?fi: His family lived in Hungary for hundreds of years, so he had in fact connection with Hungarian culture. The fact that he felt like a Hungarian makes him Hungarian, You are right here. I'm also interested what kind of connection the African people have with Danish culture.
Bauer might be French, but he is possibly not, only he knows. He is a French citizen, but we don't know if he is French, so "French citizen" would have been more appropriate.
Anatoli Vaisser and Vladislav Tkachiev are definitely not French.
"Why not say Obama is not a real American because he has a Kenyan name."
I'm sure that Larry Sinclair knows what kind of American he is. This was a self-goal.
"I'll be happy to give you my address and phone number if you think it's necessary to have an opinion."
You can always have Your opinion, but if You decide to share Your opinion with somebody else, You shouldn't call him/her names. You can be right or wrong, but Your style is not acceptable. Why? Because You would be offended if somebody would've said that You are "stupid", "pathetic" or "troll", just because his/her opinion differs from Yours. We are all human beings and the world can become a better place if we all act like human beings. Believe me, I didn't brake the law just by not agreeing with You.

you just showed that you don't know what you are talking about :
being french has nothing to do with the name or when you acquired the citizenship, France is a traditional imigration country, that is how France had been built, like the USA for exemple. Since most of french people dont have a french name, we dont consider the name and the roots as discriminative, it is just : if you feel french than you are french, that's it.
if you say to jennifer lopez she is not american because she has a spanish name she ll be offended, the same as if you say to an alsacian like Bauer he is not french he too will be offended.
So it sounds like your hobby is to offence people because maybe you dont have anything else to do in your life (ie huge messages posted) ?

Lajos, one can be a French of Armenian origin, or a Russian of German origin, and so on. Do we always need to mention that? Can you imagine an article entitled - "American president of Kenyan origin Obama received today the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, of Armenian origin.
Maybe we really need to create special words for making this people Armenorussians and Americanokenyans?

Edit: Or just plain not very good, which would be a surprising selection then. Seems to be rushed in his strokes, made Johnson look 150kph and even Franklin look like a fast bowler at times, heh..
Somebody like Ryan McLaren or even Rory Kleinveldt would probably add more value to the side, particularly in terms of looking after Kallis's workload. I feel they should be blooding a pace bowling allrounder like McLaren at this stage rather than leaving it until Kallis falls over. On the other hand I suppose they are sticking to a 7 batsman formula that is working, and like having a first class opener like Elgar or Rudolph coming in so low down which can also help combat the 2nd new ball. I suspect Duminy has a strong chance to come back in when he's fit again though, particularly with his added bowling ability, and Elgar/Rudolph have only been keeping his seat warm in the mean time.

hey we didnt even do our usual score of 150/5. go us!
would bring in Munro and one of the left armers for the next test. yeah Munro will get owned but thats the point - I'd rather he gets shown exactly what he needs to improve sooner rather than later so he can go away and develop a proper offside technique.
if he succeeds then great, we can try to forget franklin ever happened.
Brownliiiieeeeeeee. Lucky to be there by all accounts, but always seems to make a decent score when you're least expecting it.

Yeah Brownlie rode his luck but SA had one of those horror days in the field where their bowling was either top class or wayward and they dropped catches or all over the place - Elgar, Kallis, Petersen, Morkel. Petersen himself said that they were terrible. Apparently they declared so that their quick bowlers didn't have to bat. Surprising how little respect Amla and AB showed though the way they were moving about the crease.
Can we chill with that comeback? It's the worst comeback ever and just makes otherwise decent blokes look like ****s.
45 balls was a minor miracle in context of NZs batting in the game yes.

Dinner In A Pueblo Espanol
Drive to the enchanting village of Mijas situated in the lowlands of the Sierra de Mijas mountain range and surrounded by a pine forest. Mijas has managed to retain much of its "white village" charm with cobbled narrow winding streets, dazzling whitewashed walls and breathtaking views. You will have time to wander around on your own before being taken to one of the local restaurants where the decor, music and warmth of the view make a experience worth enjoying. The traditional menu offers a choice of first and second course followed by dessert, and includes 1/2 bottle of wine per person or a soft drink, iced water and coffee.
Ronda City Sightseeing
You will be driven by coach to Ronda, one of the most ancient cities in Spain which throughout its history has had different names. The river Guadalevin cuts the town in two and time has cut its deep Tajo or gorge, 120 metres deep and the town's identifying mark. On one side new Ronda, wide and happy, with its historical bullring and on the other side ancient and intimate Ronda, full of monuments that are the living proof of its ancestral past. Both sides are joined by the new bridge "Puente Nuevo" built in 1751. The guided sightseeing tour, which lasts about 2 hours, will start from the Bullring with a visit to Plaza de Toros and museum, then the modernist-style Casa de San Juan Bosco, whose whimsical gardens command magnifient views. Along the way one will see small palaces and churches and large houses of the old nobility with their patios. At the end of the sightseeing return back to the hotel by coach.
Dinner & Flamenco Show
Before sitting back and enjoying a memorable flamenco show, sample a delicious Sevillian tapas dinner with several different and varied tapas dishes, a dessert and accompanied with wine and still water. Then the real entertainment starts with a flamenco show which hosts many famous flamenco performers with a variety of styles as well as classical Spanish dance and music - and of course the click of castanets! During the show you will be served one drink of your choice.
Splendors Of Seville
Enjoy an added bonus to the normal sightseeing tour of Seville as after departing from the hotel with a local guide, the coach takes you just outside the city centre to the site of Italica - the Roman city founded by Scipio. The ruins of the Roman town, close to Santiponce and not very far from the Cartuja complex include an amphitheatre, baths, theatre and various buildings containing mosaics. After an interesting guided visit, and a short break, return back to Seville and at Murillo Gardens you will leave the coach for a walk through the streets of the Old Jewish Quarter to the magnificient Gothic Cathedral for an inside visit of one of the most complete Christian temples in existence. The excursion lasts approx. 4 hours and at the end of the sightseeing you will be taken back to the hotel by coach. In case the Cathedral is closed to the public a visit will be made to Casa de Pilatos (Pilate's House), which is an Andalusian palace and serves as the permanent residence of the Dukes of Medinaceli.
A Real Portuguese Evening
No visit to Lisbon is complete without seeing a live "fado" show. The word "fado" literally means faith and this form of urban folklore is a repository of the sadness and joys derived from the destiny of Portugal throughout its history. You will be taken to one of the most renowned venues located in the former cellars and stables of a 17th century palace. The dinner will let you sample delicious traditional Portuguese dishes together with locally produced wine or soft drinks or beer plus mineral water, coffee or tea. After dinner sit back and relax and take delight in the fado and folklore show with the performers playing music and dancing from all Portuguese regions in traditional costumes. This is an experience to remember.
Sintra & Portuguese Riviera
On this interesting afternoon excursion with a local guide you will first drive along the scenic ocean road of the Portuguese Riviera, passing the cosmopolitan town of Estoril to arrive at the quaint fishing village of Cascais. Back in the early 20th century it was a popular resort favoured by European nobility and kings and today is a colourful town with elegant pedestrian streets, some paved with blocks recreating wave patterns. There will be time here to look around and perhaps have some lunch before continuing to the town of Sintra. This beautiful town at the foot of the mountain range of the same name, has been classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. It comes under the special category of a "cultural landscape" due to its natural riches as well as the historic buildings in the town and mountains. A visit will be made to the Sintra National Palace, one of the best preserved medieval Royal palaces in Portugal, due to it being inhabitated more or less continuosly from the early 15th century up to the late 19th century. Its history goes back to the times of Islamic domination when Sintra had two different castles, one located on the top of a hill overlooking Sintra and the other located downhill. After visiting this fascinating Palace you will have time on your own for sightseeing or shopping before driving back along the coastal road to Lisbon.
City Sightseeing
Oporto is Portugal's second largest cities and is the capital of the port wine industry. It is situated along the Douro River with a remarkable unspoiled assortment of architecture and many streets unchanged since the Middle Ages. Apart from being predominantly industrial, Oporto is full of charm with many art treasures, striking cathedrals, and water front cafes in the Ribeira quarter. The half day sightseeing tour with a local guide will start with a panoramic drive to see the old and modern part of Oporto. There will be a visit to the Stock Exchange Building of which the most remarkable part is the Arab Hall. At the end of the sightseeing tour you will be taken to a port wine lodge for a visit and of course to try the delicious port wine.
Douro Cruise & Riverside Dinner
The best way to see a bit of Oporto from another angle is to join this early evening excursion, which will take you first for a short cruise on the river Douro. This river rises in Spain and reaches the Atlantic Ocean right here in Oporto. On board the boat you will be served a drink (sangria or port) to sip whilst you look at the places of interest situated on the banks of the river. Upon disembarkation in the riverside area of Ribeira you will be taken to a very typical restaurant, which for the last 50 years preserves its fine art of cooking and welcoming clients. The dinner will start with an appetizer, followed by soup, a choice of main course cooked on the spit, dessert and include also wine or soft drinks plus coffee or tea.
Madrid By Night & Tapas
An authentic Spanish food experience in a local restaurant tucked away in the centre of old Madrid. The venue with its warm ambiance is home to solid Castillian cuisine and the tapas dinner we are offering you gives a sample of a variety of dishes i.e. "tortilla espanola", "jamon serrano". Included is the well-known Spanish drink "sangria" or soft drink or mineral water. After dinner, see some of the main sights of Madrid on a short orientation drive before returning to the hotel.

New details on the next Audi A3
by Matt Davis (RSS feed) on May 4th, 2012 at 12:43PM
We just attended a thorough workshop covering the tech inside the next Audi A3, the new compact from Ingolstadt that the U.S. gets in October 2013 as a five-door Sportback model, as well as a new four-door small sedan. A concept version of the four-door was shown at the Geneva Motor Show last year, while deliveries of this European hatchback start this July. Our first drive of the three-door premium hatchback model that will be available at launch happens later this month, though it's sort of a shame we won't be getting this three-door here in the States. The five-door Sportback model that... Read More

Match report
For match photos, scroll to photostream above left. Click on the statistics tab for match stats. Manager reactions and press conferences to follow below.
Manchester City earned an emphatic 7-0 victory over Norwich City as seven different players scored in their biggest-ever Barclays Premier League win.
The hosts' goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon, who earned his first start of the Barclays Premier League season, had little to do as his outfield team-mates comfortably secured the points.
A Bradley Johnson own goal set the ball rolling, before further first-half efforts from David Silva, Matija Nastasic and Alvaro Negredo put the hosts firmly in control.
Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko added goals five, six and seven after the break as the match lived up to its goal-rich reputation, with 25 having been scored in the previous four top-flight meetings between the two sides.
In addition to Pantilimon replacing Joe Hart as goalkeeper, Negredo replaced Javi Garcia in the only other alteration to the Man City side that started a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea last Sunday.
Chris Hughton also made a double change to his Norwich side from last weekend's goalless draw with Cardiff City, bringing Johnson and Steven Whittaker in for injured duo Alexander Tettey and Robert Snodgrass.
The hosts controlled possession in the early stages, but they had to wait until the 15th minute for a clear goalscoring opportunity - Samir Nasri drifting into the area from the left before firing an effort against the outside of the post.
Man City had a slice of fortune as they broke the deadlock a minute later. Silva saw a shot blocked by Russell Martin in the penalty area, before an Aguero strike took a huge deflection off Johnson and looped over a stranded John Ruddy.
And the hosts were two up within five minutes of going ahead, as Aguero cut the ball back for an advancing Silva, who made no mistake in sending a low drive beyond the Norwich goalkeeper.
The goals kept on coming for Manuel Pellegrini's men with Nastasic the next to add his name to the scoresheet after 25 minutes - heading home from a corner via another significant deflection off Martin.
Negredo made it four from close range 10 minutes before the break.
Norwich called Pantilimon into action in the 38th minute, as the Romanian stopper got down well to touch Anthony Pilkington's effort wide of his post.
In the second period, Toure curled in goal number five from a 20-yard free-kick on the hour mark.
Aguero added a sixth from the centre of the penalty area in the 71st minute, before Dzeko completed the rout four minutes from time from the edge of the box.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "I enjoyed the way the team played - we played really well in both the first and second half. We didn't give any chance to Norwich to score and we scored seven goals and we had more options. I am very glad and very happy about that.
"It was important also to keep our clean sheet in our goal and important that the team play exactly the same independent of the score - that is the way I want to play.
"The league table is a very narrow difference between one team and another and we must continue in this way."
Norwich City manager Chris Hughton: "It has been a very difficult day - I have not been in a scoreline like that before as a manager. City were outstanding but if you gift them the type of goals we did today then it becomes difficult to win any football match.
"We have a support that have travelled to Old Trafford during the week and have come back to Manchester today and I feel for them because we were nowhere near it today and nowhere near good enough.
"We can only rectify it by working as hard as we can on the training pitch and we have to, for what progress we felt had been made in recent weeks with our work on the ball, we have gone backwards in our work without the ball.
"We realise that we weren't good enough in the areas that matter. You have to be bigger and braver than what we were today. We are not used to it happening and at the moment it is hurting. I thought they didn't have to work as hard as they should have done to get some of their goals today."

Martin Whitmarsh wants to quickly forget McLaren's Canadian GP weekend, which saw the team's 64-race run in the points come to an end.
Although Montreal has often been McLaren's circuit in the past, this weekend it was anything but.
The faltering outfit failed to make the most of the wet conditions in qualifying with neither driver making it into the top-ten shoot-out.
Sergio Perez and Jenson Button were also unable to recover in the dry on Sunday, finishing P11 and P12 respectively.
The team's lack of points brought to an end a streak of 64 grands prix inside the points.
"A weekend that we'll try quickly to forget," Whitmarsh told Sky Sports F1.
"Qualifying was poor and then in the race, looking back at it now, we made mistakes. We weren't quick enough, that's the starting point, but I think we should have been able to get into the points.
"The prime tyre was the much better tyre than we believed it was, we wished we started on it now and wished we got onto it sooner. Also when we put Jenson onto it, we gave him a relatively slow target lap as we were concerned about getting him to the end, but as it turned out he could have pushed a lot harder."
The team remains sixth in the Constructors' Championship but lost ground to Force India, who brought both cars home in the points.
Asked if McLaren's latest stumble would once again lead to him revising the team's targets for the season, the team boss said: "Of course you are but we've got to get the car quicker.
"We've got to keep working hard, it hasn't always been as fruitful and as positive as we wanted to, but there's no secrets unfortunately, there's no magic wand.
"We've got to work hard and make the car quicker and make sure that we come through qualifying sessions better than that and do better in the race.
"Both drivers are driving well but we're not giving them quite the car that they need to get the job done and we're not quite making it work in qualifying or the race - certainly this weekend."

|Moral :
|Whilst Miri's planet is identical to Earth in terms of the geography, it has one huge difference from our planet - there isn't a single cloud visible anywhere in the world. This is something changed in the remastered version.
|Great Moment :
|I like Rand admitting how she tries to get Kirk to look at her legs, followed by showing the horrible scabs on her legs. It's a very human moment for her.
|Body Count :
|One Grup dies attacking the landing party.
|Factoid :
|The original script established that Janice Rand was 24 years old in this episode, and had her contemplating leaving the Enterprise. Of the seven episodes Rand appears in, it's also the only one in which she leaves the Enterprise.
Vincent McEveety directed this episode from a wheelchair as he had recently broken his leg.
At four letters, "Miri" is the shortest episode title in the original series. It's also the only one shown in italicized type on the screen.
After being shown in 1970, Miri was not shown on the BBC again until the 1990 because it, along with "The Empath", "Whom Gods Destroy" and "Plato's Stepchildren" were considered to deal "most unpleasantly with the already unpleasant subjects of madness, torture, sadism and disease."
|Quote :
|"Now, this is marvelous. The most horrible conglomeration of antique architecture I've ever seen." - McCoy to Kirk
"Life prolongation. Didn't have much luck, did they?" - McCoy to Kirk
"Back on the ship, I used to try to get you to look at my legs. Captain, look at my legs." - Rand to Kirk
"I never get involved with older women, Yeoman." - Kirk to Rand
The Enteprise follows an Earth-style planetary distress call and finds itself at a planet which is geographically identical to Earth, something amazing to everybody on board. There is no response to their hails so Kirk leads a landing party to the surface in the vicinity of the transmitter. They find themselves amongst architecture very similar to Earth in the 1960s, another remarkable parallel, but the entire area seems to be long deserted.
As they explore a man appears, attacking the group before collapsing and dying. He is horribly disfigured by some strange disease. The security officers with the landing party see another figure running into a building. They chase the figure down, finding a terrified teenage girl who calls herself Miri. She calls the landing party "Grups", a contraction of "grown ups", and states that Grups are dangerous and violent. Apparently almost the adults on the planet are dead and long gone, but Miri reveals that there are still some youngsters alive and in hiding. The grown ups died of the same affliction as the man they encountered earlier, becoming angry and violent, leaving the children terrified of any adult.
As they continue to investigate the planet the members of the landing party begin to develop the same purple sores on their own bodies - they are all infected with whatever killed the adults on the planet. The lone exception is Spock, whose Vulcan physiology apparently makes him immune. They search an old hospital for clues to the illness, and gradually the truth emerges - the population of the planet engaged in an experiment to prolong their lives almost indefinitely. However, something went wrong. In adults, the project created the illness which led to disfigurement, violence and death. They realise that all this happened some three centuries ago - the children survive because in them the life prolongation project works perfectly, slowing their ageing to a crawl. But despite this the children do still age, and as each one reaches puberty the effect turns into the deadly condition which killed all the other adults on the planet.
As the landing party works to devise a cure, the children discuss what to do about the "Grups" and the threat they represent. They steal their communicators, cutting them off from the support of the medical staff on the ship and so making the search for a cure far more difficult. Miri at first remains with them, developing a crush on Kirk. But when she sees Kirk comforting a distraught Janice Rand, Miri becomes jealous and sneaks away to talk with her friends. She convinces them to kidnap Rand in order to get rid of the woman she sees as competition.
Miri goes back to the landing party and is confronted by Kirk. He pressures her to help them further, revealing the truth that the children are all doomed to die as they turn into the Grups that they so fear. To emphasise the point he shows Miri that she is already starting to develop the purple scabs herself.
Miri takes Kirk to see the other children. He tries to explain the situation to them, though they at first refuse to listen and even attack him. Eventually Kirk manages to convince them that their way of life cannot last much longer, pointing out that the attack on him proves that the older children are already starting to become violent as they hit puberty. They finally agree and surrender to Kirk.
Back at the hospital McCoy manages to create a cure for the disease. Without the computer assistance from the Enterprise he has little choice but to test it on himself. Fortunately it works, and the children and landing party are all restored to normal. Back on the ship Kirk requests that Starfleet send some support to help the children so that they can finally grow up and begin the long process of reclaiming their planet.
Never did like this episode very much. It kicks off on a bad note with the "it's exactly like Earth!" thing. This comes across as a sideways way to justify filming on the existing studio sets - filming in an Earth town, so make the entire planet identical to Earth. The show would revisit the idea of parallel cultures with "Bread and Circuses" and "The Omega Glory", even going so far as to suggest a law of parallel development in one episode. That's kind of silly in itself, but making the geography of the planet identical to Earth just makes the whole thing an order of magnitude more unlikely. And it's not like the geographical similarity actually contributes anything to the episode, even. The only effect it has for the rest of the episode is that we see the Enterprise orbiting a globe of the Earth rather than whatever planet of the week they usually see.
Outside that, the story isn't up to much. The idea of a life prolongation project wiping out the adults and leaving the children is kind of an interesting concept, but it leaves us dealing with a bunch of kids for the episode, and that's rarely a good thing. Seeing Miri crushing on Kirk, and Kirk practically encouraging it, is more than a bit creepy to modern eyes, whilst the scenes with the kids are a typical adult view of how kids behave.
All in all then, not a good episode. But it's kind of awkward and ultimately pointless, considering that they never really do anything with it. Later we would see planets which had societies that paralleled Earth societies for one reason or another, which is pretty unlikely in itself, but they always had the good sense to put them on alien planets that had compatible environments to Earth without being identical. planet being identical to Earth doesn't feature at all in the plot outside of that first scene

Our Peermont Winners Circle programme comprises three tiers that are each marked by its own signature colour card: Maroon, Silver and Gold. As you progress from the one tier to the next, you are awarded even greater rewards and benefits.
As soon as you join our Winners Circle, you automatically receive Maroon status. You then simply have to earn 13 bonus points over 3 months to get to Silver status or 81 bonus points over 3 months to be presented with the much-desired Gold Winners Circle Card. Your status will be re-evaluated annually on your anniversary date, but upgrades are available year-round.
Be treated like the winner you are by joining Winners Circle, Peermont's exclusive gaming loyalty programme where you are rewarded lavishly at every turn. Your membership is complimentary and is available almost instantly at any one of our Winners Circle Desks. Simply present your South African ID, driver's licence or passport ... and we will hand you your passport to our prestigious inner circle!
As a Winners Circle member, rewards are bestowed upon you just for playing the slots or tables at any of our Peermont Casinos. Every time you play R500 (turnover) on one of our slot machines, you are awarded one bonus point equal to R1 in value. As your bonus points accumulate, you may exchange them for slot credits so that you can play more or use them to treat yourself to the range of discounted merchandise available at any of our Peermont resorts.
At the tables, you are rewarded with complimentary beverages while you play as well as meal vouchers, exclusive tables promotions, draw tickets, tournaments or, in some casinos, cash back tables points.
Best of all, the more you play, and the more bonus or comp points you are granted, the higher you move up the status hierarchy of our exclusive club. Every time that you reach a higher status, it is marked by a brand new Winners Circle card, and you are even more richly rewarded! When you redeem your points, it does not affect your current card status or the opportunity to progress to the next level.
