In the two years that Chris has been Head Chef, the Brasserie has been awarded its second rosette by the AA, which coincided with the hotel being elevated to four star status. Known for his love of classic, modern British cooking, Chris has a passion for using the very best ingredients that he can find to produce simple, exquisite dishes which include "Spring lamb fillet with aubergine caviar, cumin fondant and sauce Vierge" and "Bakewell tart with clotted cream ice cream".
For Chris, becoming a chef was simply meant to be. Growing up at home where Mum and Dad were both chefs, Chris was the second of three brothers, all destined to become chefs. Chris took inspiration and learnt from his elder brother and, after a number of positions in restaurants, notably The Forest Lodge Hotel and Westover Hall, he now takes the lead at The White Horse. The youngest of the three brothers, Peter, works alongside Chris as Sous Chef. Peter started his career straight from school and has developed his skills from there. He has Michelin Star background, and joined our team after 3 years as Sous Chef at The Bartley Lodge.

Sean O'Brien: The Drowned Book
A change of pace for me, with – of all things! – a book of poetry. I was going to say modern poetry, but that has fogeyish hints of modern art, doesn't it, with an implication of chastisement for anyone daring to try to drive cultural achievement onward when everybody knows that nobody alive can write/paint/video-install as well as anyone dead. Anyway, my extremely limited experience of m…- contemporary poetry tends toward the down-to-earth, the accessible, partly for want of schooling in the damn art, and partly for a woeful lack of ambition. This means I do have experience of Sean O'Brien, mainly through his earlier collection Ghost Train, which ranged from subversive homage to MacNeice's Autumn Journal in 'Somebody Else,' ("You live here on the city's edge / Among back lanes and stable blocks / From which you glimpse the allegations / Of the gardening bourgeoisie that all is well") to a sensitive, sharp portrayal of football (a subject in which I thought I had no interest) in 'Autumn Begins at St James's Park, Newcastle.'
Ghost Train won the Forward Poetry Prize in 1995 when it was published; his next collection, Downriver (2001) repeated the feat; and in a hat-trick the "Toon Army tsunami" would be proud of, his latest The Drowned Book (2007) took both the Forward Prize and, this week, the T.S. Eliot prize. Pretty soon, when the presses crank up for a new O'Brien collection, all the other poets in the land will keep their powder dry till next year.
The T.S. Eliot prize panel called The Drowned Book "fierce, funny and deeply melancholy," and the Forward judges described it as "a sustained elegy for lost friends, landscapes and a decaying culture." Well, one of the people featured I am pretty sure O'Brien would not consider a lost friend. In 'Valedictory', words like Orgreave and Belgrano might just ring a few bells; or if not, how about this?
Branch libraries and playing fields
Deliver rather lower yields
Than asset-stripping mountebanks
Can rake in flogging dope and tanks:
Great Britain!
Strange: no one nowadays admits
To voting in the gang of shits
Who staffed her army of the night:
Our history, it seems, is quite
And if digs at Margaret Thatcher seem twenty years late (and toward the end of the book, there's a doubly painful account of Dupuytren's contracture, the hand condition which O'Brien seems to share with Baroness T), the 'fierce and witty' destructive elements are balanced by a melancholy but defiant urge: as the legacy of the 1980s lives on, O'Brien ends the poem by declaring that "The task is always to rebuild / Our city."
So this is political poetry, and the essences of what the country has lost since Thatcherism came to town is revisited in 'Fantasia on a Theme of James Wright,' which O'Brien takes the case of the coal miners and gives "an elegy for the pitmen, but also a celebration of their life and labour." ("The singing of the dead inside the earth / Is like the friction of great stones, or like the rush / Of water into newly opened darkness.") He also brings us up to date, with present government policy on terrorism laws, in 'Song: Habeas Corpus':
Forget about due process,
The evidence, the court:
The evil I've committed
Is as secretive as thought.
Just think, if I'm not found in time,
Then I might perpetrate
An absolutely novel crime
Known only to the state -
An act more terrible because
It hasn't happened yet -
For in our time the future tense
Will be the major threat.
Ditties like this may tread a line between simple and simplistic, but O'Brien is capable of more complex things. The theme of water drives through the book, as rivers, drains and sewers illustrate the forgotten past and the unwelcome present, from police and politicians "whose only energy / Is fear" to lost friends ("The River Road"):
For afterlife, only beginning, beginning,
Wide, dark waters that grow in the telling,
Where the river road carries us now.
Toward the end, the moving waterways are brought overground and replaced by railways – a manmade development which O'Brien can endorse – and the feeling is carefully optimistic; allowing, of course, for the odd journey to hell. This is done both with artful solemnity ("Arcadia") and playfully, where "Timor Mortis" finds O'Brien at his funniest on the indivisibility of humankind when it comes to condemnation:
The wonks who work the cutting edge,
Immanuel Kant and Percy Sledge,
With Peter Pan, the Golden Horde,
All travellers not yet on board
Plus those who think it don't apply,
Who witter, witter, "I'm, like, why?"
Join Zeno, Zog and Baudelaire
As conscripts of le grand nowhere –
Some on ice and some on fire,
Some with slow piano wire,
Screaming, weeping, brave as fuck
And absolutely out of luck.
Chin up, Sean, even if you do join "Captain Nemo, Guildenstern / And suchlike planks booked in to burn," at least you've cleaned up at the poetry awards. And it's not just through luck either.

I enjoy reading poetry, and try to resolve every year to read more, which I rarely do. However I don't find much poetry that I actually like. Most I read only to conclude that its the sort I don't like. Sadly, I don't think I like the sound of O'Brien either – the water stuff is appealing while the political is offputting. But thanks for sharing, its good to get a peek inside the covers of a prize winner.
Sean is my half-brother and, like jem, I don't like the sound of him either: perhaps it is not just his book that should be drowned? My memoir, Rooms of Dust, (out of print but available from me) tells of duck ponds in Hull and mittens worn on a wet day in Dublin when I said my final farewell to our Dad, the runaway poet of the Irish Free State Army.
Thank you for opportunity to comment. it is not so freely available as one might like to think.
Sarah Pat
I am just reading your book Rooms of Dust and really enjoying it. My father Michael Grimes comes from Rathmines and lived in Mount Pleasant Buildings. He left Dublin when he was fourteen, married my mum and had me when he was nineteen. He often talks of his childhood in the bulildings. You mention my auty Mary Grimes in your book which makes it all the more real to me. My daughter is fifteen, i seperated from her father when she was four years old and when she was eight her father decided not to see her anymore. He has a new family now. Your story is very poignant to me but also written with great wit and warmth . I recognise the yearning for your father and hope my daughter will read your book.
HI Jacqueline
Yes Rooms of Dust a great book indeed brought back loads of memory to our family
You might like to have a look here and also show your Dad Michael.
Kindest regards
Bob Young
aka bongo
I absolutely loved your book Sarah it teased out memories of my emotions, I felt would drown me, when I was a child and I was bitterly disappointed you did not manage to bring a comforting and satisfying conclusion to your heartache. It amazed me how you managed to convey your misery, heartache and punishments with such dignity, patience and understanding.
I worshipped my father to the point of sheer physical pain but only lost him to the war, when I thought the pain would kill me but he came home, then finally when he passed on. I felt your pain, I cried your tears and could not put your book down. Thank you for sharing your experiences of 'quite dark' times. I am Engish and deeply ashamed of what my country did to Ireland then.
I've just finished reading your book Sarah, – it might be out of print, but it's still available at my local Library. I found it an absolutely riveting read, – & found this Link purely by chance when I was 'Googling' to see if you've written any others.
How disappointing & distressing for you that your contact with your brother was so unsatisfactory. I thought that poets were supposed to be sensitive souls!
Are you planning to write a follow up to 'Rooms of Dust'? If so, I look forward to reading it.
Just finished your "Rooms of Dust"
Thank you Sarah what memory's of our family's time in MPB 1945 to 1959
Thank you all for your kind comments. I will try to make contact again on Dublin Forums. X
just finished rooms of dust. wonderful! i couldn't put it down. how sad that sean didn't get back to you. its his loss though that is no consolation to you. are you writing a follow up?

Le Klint Pendant 169Price: $563.25
Design by Poul Christiansen, 1969-1978.
By Le Klint.
These hand-folded sculptural pendant shades were designed by architect Poul Christiansen between 1969 and 1978 and have been in continuous production by the Danish company Le Klint. The material is a color-stabilized white PVC which is completely washable and anti-static. Le Klint 169 is enjoying renewed popularity along with other design icons of the 1960's.
The Le Klint Pendant 169 was designed by Poul Christiansen. All Le Klint pendants are hand-crafted to insure quality and include 5 feet of white cord.
Includes 5 feet of white cord.
Material(s): PVC
Dimensions: 18.5" D X 11" H
Bulbs: LK169G: 1 x 26W GU24 Twist and Lock Compact Fluorescent (included) LK169: 1 x 100W E26 Medium Base A19 Incandescent (not included)
LK169 169 leklint #169
Designer: Poul Christiansen
Between 1969 and 1987 Poul Christiansen brought innovative and exciting dimensions to Le Klint's lamp shades. Prior to his involvement the shades had been folded in pleats and in straight lines across the pleats. Poul Christiansen discovered that folding in mathematical curves gave the lamp shades beautiful and unique sculptural shapes.View other products by Poul Christiansen
Manufacturer: Le Klint
Modern Danish Lighting from Le Klint
P.V. Jensen Klint was an architect and also a far-sighted and visionary gentleman. He had designed a stoneware oil lamp which needed an appropriate shade. What does the gifted and curious designer do? He invents a unique product — a lamp shade with folding across the pleats.
P.V. Jensen was a Bachelor of Engineering, an architect and a painter. One must accentuate two achievements which still remain after his death. One is the Grundtvig Church in Copenhagen and the other is the cross pleated lamp shade which 40 years later went into production under the company name of LE KLINT.
Tage Klint, son of P.V. Jensen Klint, was the creative entrepreneur who in 1943 chose to turn the family's artistically folded lamp shades into a regular business. He also added a crucial detail to the original shades; the unique �collar� at the top of the lamp, designed to fix the shade to the metal stand. Furthermore, he designed a number of lamps which have all been a part of LE KLINT's assortment.
In 1953 his son, Jan Klint, took over the company. As a business man, he was years ahead of his time. In order to secure his employees, he created a fund which has since 1972 been in charge of the company LE KLINT. In addition, the fund supports former employees, designers and architects.
Indispensable Pleaters
The unique concept and the enterprising Klint family would not have been enough on their own, because without one particular resource, namely all the skilled pleaters at Le Klint, it would have been impossible to put the concept into actual production.
Assiduous, precise and highly dextrous, they have turned the designers' proposals and models into beautiful shades over the years. The pleaters are still there today — because no machine can ever replace craftsmanship.View other products from Le Klint

Data-driven decisions give businesses the best possible chance of achieving the desired outcome, it has been claimed.
Dr Chongqi Wu, assistant professor of management at California State University's College of Business & Economics, said it is important for business executives to use the data they are collecting.
He commented that great decisions do not always produce great outcomes - as other uncontrollable influences can impede particular actions.
And as such, the best approach for companies may be to base decisions on factual evidence - essentially playing the percentages.
"No matter how much data we have collected and how capable of analysing the data we have become, we will never fully understand all the risks or be able to predict the future," Dr Chongqi said.
This is because luck and timing still play a role in determining the success of an idea, he stated,
"Don't forsake your instincts or completely change course," Dr Chongqi urged.
"Just recognise that incorporating data and facts whenever possible will absolutely make you a better decision maker."

I imagine the plane fare will be equally exciting.
The SR-71 and the Concord were both retired. Why another supersonic aircraft? Personally, if I had to fly, it would be the only way to go. I just wonder why. Is it more fuel efficient? Hmm.
Great, pandering to the rich and greedy. The money spent on a single aircraft could go a long way to eliminating poverty in many nation of the world and regaining dignity. We as a society need to prioritize our needs and regain or Christian values.
the SR 71 ,Blackbird, top speed is classified. It is so fast the wings turned red hot. That is why it was made out of titanium. aluminum would lose strength at those temperatures. ( X Lockheed employee)
Continued: The Dragon II will land at De Gaulle after leaving the International Space Station and a pilot and six passengers will stand on the tarmac. By 2030, sub orbital flight will be common while the ISS will be transformed from a white Elephant to a cash cow as it becomes the premier destination site of the super rich.
Expect to see a spacecraft landing at the Paris Airshow in 2017, the 90th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. It will be the SpaceX Dragon II landing backwards using it's onboard thrusters (Propulsive landing).
Kevin Pratt-please, please just do a Google for anything you are about to comment on before you do. For christs sake, you are on the Internet!!!
The crsh that grounded the COncorde was not even in 2003, the Concorde "crashed in flames shortly after taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport on July 25, 2000"
..."The crash helped bring an end to the plane's commercial operations, which had become a financial burden for Air France and British Airways. Both took the Concorde out of service in 2003.""
Dude, the least you could do was to RTFArticle!!!
"The X-54 will be the first of three supersonic models being developed by the partnership. The medium sized business jet is expected to debut in 2020, with larger commercial versions to follow in 2030 and 2035."
But lest I be found to be foolish, please provide your source of information that the X-54 was grounded in 2003! You absolutely must be a Republican and this don't even have anything to do with politics:( You should apologize to LarryB!
wonderful force. This capability will allow the new supersonic jet to fly from London to Sydney in a mere four hours. As of now, the trip takes about 23 hours. This is an amazing thing for human being
I read the story. It is misleading and contains inaccuracies. I went back to look at the aircraft conceptual photo. It's not even a passenger jet. It appears to me that it is a combat jet. The demise of the Concord was caused by an unfortunate crash, not the sonic booms. Even the crash was not so much the blame of the Concord itself. It was from debris on the runway from a previous takeoff
which caused a rupture in the Concords fuel tank.
At least to the best of my memory. I could do a better job of writing. What does the job pay?
Kevin Pratt , you couldn't be more wrong on all accounts. As the story was ORIGINALLY WRITTEN,
they claimed exactly what I copied and pasted into my comments... "Gulfstream's new G650.. the world's fastest supersonic jet ... 646 miles per hour." You would have known that if you had bothered reading the JustLuxe archives, but no, you had to show the rest of us what a fool you are.
And no, it wasn't the X54 that was grounded in 2003, a flying X54 hasn't even been built yet. You would have known that had YOU read the article. And yes, it was the Concorde that was grounded in 2003 and no, it wasn't because of the sonic boom. Just like I wrote.
Hate to bust your bubble. The nerve of some people...
Hmmm, first...why don't they show a conceptual picture of the aircraft instead of a Dassault Mirage? The speed is impressive but equal that of the retired SR-71 / A-12 / YF-12 "official" maximum speed......By 2030, scramjets "should" be somewhat standard for high speed use. There have been a huge amount of "What Ifs" allready for hypersonic and supersonic modern passenger aircraft. Not the least being the NASP ( National Aerospace Plane of the 80s......This I feel will be another.
Whats with the misleading picture?
It's pretty ....
WTF? Maybe, 18 years from now, you might, if you're lucky, be able to possibly fly from London to Sydney in 4 hours, *IF* this plane goes into production, which is unlikely. How is this type of futuristic speculation relevant to ANYTHING?
Here's another high-tech business aircraft I'd like to see: Something whose cruise speed might not be all that high, let's say 250 miles per hour or so, but which will be able to take off and land without thousands of feet of runway. Eurocopter is testing something called the X3, which uses a main rotor plus two side propellers to reach speeds as high as 230 knots, or ~260 miles per hour. That's not as fast as a jet, but it can land and take off from any clearing a big helicopter like the Sikorsky S-76 can use. There is also the AW-609, which is a tiltrotor like the V-22 Osprey.
A problem with supersonic jets like the one above is, their fuel consumption in proportion to payload and range will be much higher than the business jets we now have
"Gulfstream's new G650.. the world's fastest supersonic jet ... 646 miles per hour. "
Problem is that 646 MPH isn't supersonic.
"the sonic boom.. one of the Concorde's largest obstacles... grounded the experimental craft in November of 2003.."
The Concorde wasn't experimental, and the sonic boom wasn't what grounded it. However they got the year right , 2003.
Who writes this c*ap?
LarryB, Please read the article again!! It's say's that the new plane is like 4 times faster then the new G650, and the Concorde only flu between London and New York City because of the Sonic Boom. Lastly it was the X-54 that was grounded in 2003. Before you write a comment about an article make sure you understand the article first, because it is your writing that is c*ap!!!!!!!
At Boeing pace today you can add another 20 years at todays pace before the prototype is launched , with NASA involvement another 10 .....for paper work and bureaucrats .
Whoopee! Not available until 2030? Why even write an article on a product that won't improve anyone's lives for almost 20 years?
I don't think they ever should have grounded the Concorde. In any case, supersonic air travel really needs to be a reality today.

Mkts seen higher on upbeat sentiment
All Gulf markets will trade on Wednesday.
September 15, 2010 10:50 by Reuters
Investors have been eagerly awaiting for reaction to Oman's first initial public offering this year, that of telecoms company Nawras, which opens for subscription on Wednesday.
A statement from the company said that Nawras will be listed on Oman's exchange under the "nwrs" ticker, expected on October 27. Subscription is open until October 14.
"The company might offer value not only through its pricing but also through its growth prospects within fixed line user acquisition and margin enhancement through the international gateway technology," ING Investment's portfolio manager Yazan Abdeen told on September 1.
"That all off course is subject to competition especially if a third player showed up to the party."
All Gulf markets will trade on Wednesday, after the extended holiday period.
Qatar's exchange will re-open today following the Eid al-Fitr holidays, with further gains expected at the open.
"Qatar should edge higher – it's a market that usually sees regular profit taking, but the trend is up and Qatar offers a lot of value, quite broad sectors and attractive prices," says Matthew Wakeman, EFG-Hermes managing director for cash and equity-linked trading.
Likewise, Saudi Arabia's index could extend gains from Tuesday, when it ended the session at its highest finish in 12 weeks.
Some Saudi banks might gain further after Goldman Sachs published a report earlier this week saying that the Saudi government's stimulus program is likely to result in strong economic growth and robust corporate credit demand, benefiting the country's banking sector.
Regional bourses are also likely to be boosted by global improvement in sentiment, with Asian stocks edging higher.
Japan intervened in foreign exchange markets for the first time in six years on Wednesday to stem economic damage from the surging yen, pushing its currency sharply lower and lifting Tokyo stocks by almost 3 percent.

Rock out for The King's birthday & help save a life by donating blood
CLEVELAND - The King of Rock & Roll would have turned 78 on January, 8. So, why not celebrate at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, at the Elvis exhibit.
From his bedazzled white jump suit, to his shiny purple Lincoln Mark IV, there is no shortage of memorabilia in Cleveland keeping the music and memory of Elvis Presley alive.
Presley is credited with starting the rock and roll revolution. He holds the record for the most Top 40 hits, among many others. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
Topping our list of must-see memorabilia is the jukebox RCA Records gave Presley, filled with his hits.
So, crank up a little "Jailhouse Rock," cook up a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich fit for a King, and celebrate.
You can find a recipe to make Elvis' favorite sandwich on Mike Brookbank's Facebook page.
Share a life-saving gift this month
Roll up your sleeve. It's time to share a life-saving gift. January is National Blood Donor Month.
Blood Donor, Mike Zacher, is a regular. "I enjoy giving it to people. People need it."
Bill Bateman, a regular donor, belongs to the self-proclaimed "Friday Morning Coffee Club" at the American Red Cross in Cleveland. He says it's not so bad with a group.
"We get a free cup of coffee. There are no losers here," he said.
Zacher agreed, "We talk a lot, we joke a lot. We're a rowdy crowd on Friday mornings."
These guys donate together regularly, and they encourage those who are afraid of blood and needles to join them…. especially this time of year when donations slow because of the holidays and bad weather.
"The first time is the hardest, and it's simple after that, extremely simple after that," Carl Orban said.
Simple, when friends help to distract you from what's going on with your arm. "You don't feel like you are losing any time when you're spending it with friends," said Bateman.

Serves 6
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 lb (500 g) ground chuck
- 1 lb (500 g) ground sirloin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 slices rye bread
- 6 tablespoons (3 oz/90 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 sweet onions, thickly sliced
- 6 slices good-quality Swiss cheese such as Gruyère or Comté
1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grill grate.
2. In a large bowl, using a spoon, not your hands, gently mix together the chuck and sirloin. Run your hands under cold water and divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about the size and shape of a slice of bread, being careful not to compact the meat too much. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Make a depression in the center of each patty with your thumb. Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.
3. Brush both sides of each bread slice with the butter.
4. Place the patties, indent side up, and onion slices on the grill directly over the fire. Cook, turning once, until both the patties and the onions are nicely charred on both sides and the burgers are cooked to your liking, 45 minutes per side for medium. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and put the bread slices along the edge of the grill, then cover the grill. Grill, turning the bread slices once, until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted.
5. Place each burger on a slice of toasted rye. Toss the onion slices to break up the rings, and divide evenly among the burgers. Top each burger with a second slice of toasted bread and serve at once.
The Game Plan:
- Set up grill for direct grilling over high heat
- Shape meat into patties; refrigerate until ready to grill
- Slice onions and cheese
- Melt butter than brush onto bread slices
- Grilling time: 8-10 minutes
- DON'T FORGET: Try to shape the burger patties to fit the bread slices, but don't handle the meat too much (they don't have to be perfect).

Nearly 150,000 Electric Utility Substations Will Be Automated Or Modernized By 2020, According To Pike Research
The convergence of key technology developments, stronger business cases, and growing regulatory acceptance is accelerating grid modernization. Substations and the increasingly automated and intelligent gear embedded within them will play a critical role in this transformation. According to a recent report from Pike Research, a part of Navigant's Energy Practice, more than 10,000 substations worldwide will be automated (including both new construction and retrofits of existing facilities) in 2012. That number will surpass 20,000 annually by 2020, the study concludes, leading to a cumulative total of nearly 150,000 substations automated or retrofitted from 2012 to 2020.
"Key challenges such as outage management and recovery, increasingly complex system operations, and equipment management all suggest real growth in the coming years in the market for next-generation substation intelligence and data management," says senior research director Bob Gohn. "While the trend toward infrastructure modernization will continue, growth will inevitably begin to decelerate somewhat over time as automation technologies reach a high level of installed base penetration."
Even as more substations are automated as part of overall grid modernization efforts, the nature of this automation will continue to evolve. Basic remote monitoring and control of substation equipment is evolving toward more integrated systems that can leverage other smart grid technologies, such as distribution automation systems, smart metering, and advanced data analytics software within utility control centers. These more integrated uses are still in the early days of their evolution, according to the report.
The report, "Substation Automation", reviews the history, drivers, key technologies, evolving standards, and leading vendors associated with substation automation technologies. The size and growth of the global substation automation equipment market is forecast through 2020 and segmented by automation device categories (SCADA, protective relays, sensors, communications), by transmission and distribution substations, by new versus retrofit installations, and by major world regions. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Pike Research website.About Pike Research Pike Research, which joined Navigant's global Energy Practice on July 1, 2012, provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets. The team's research methodology combines supply-side industry analysis, end-user primary research and demand assessment, and deep examination of technology trends to provide a comprehensive view of the Smart Energy, Smart Grid, Smart Transportation, Smart Industry, and Smart Buildings sectors.

Replacing attributes from Plone in your XDV theme
A few months ago at the Plone West Coast Sprint we started to work on a few new themes for Plone using XDV and came upon a road block: How do you replace attributes within elements in XDV?
We wanted to replace the href tag in the logo of our theme:

with the href tag Plone dynamically generates in "portal-logo":

Should be pretty simple, right? Just use the <replace> rule in our rules.xml file and specify the href attribute as follows:
<replace content="//*[@id="portal-logo"]/@href" theme="//*[@id="logo"]/a"/>
WRONG. For some reason, you need to use the <prepend> rule:
<prepend content="//*[@id="portal-logo"]/@href" theme="//*[@id="logo"]/a"/>
Normally, <prepend> copies specified elements from Plone as the very first child of an element in the theme. What we found is that this is apparently only true with elements. For some reason, when the selecting attributes, XDV alters the behavior of <prepend> and it acts like <replace>.
Here's what the output of the theme should look like with the correct XDV rule applied:

← Go BackComments (4)
This is a limitation of the XDV compiler, it's only able to apply rules to elements, not attributes. It's only really a problem when you want to drop an attribute from the theme. If I work out how to fix that I will.
(Note that you're actually telling XDV to replace the whole theme element with the attribute "//*[@id="logo"]/a" you probably meant "//*[@id="logo"]/a/@href", though this still doesn't work due to the limitation above.)
Thanks Lawrence, great to know.
Attributes would also be useful for pulling in the classes for the body tag that Plone generates for each section.
Yup, there's an example of setting the body class attribute using prepend here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xdv#append-and-prepend
I really thins xdv is a stupid idea.
It just maps one html to another html.
I cannot believe that there is such an idea in Plone community to solve the theming problem.
What's on your mind?

Steve Parks, King Coal Venture Await Outcome of IRS Investigation
Posted 10/22/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
"I can't say it was routine because it wasn't," said Parks, CEO of King Coal LLC. "It was a 100-percent surprise deal. We have been working with everybody. All they had to do was ask us, and we would've produced the documents."
The Internal Revenue Service agents dropped by unannounced with a warrant to seize business records as part of an investigation.
What was it all about?
"Frankly, I'm not sure," Parks said. "They wanted my business records. Anna's office is at the house, and they wanted her records, too."
His wife, Anna Harper, runs Anna's Estate Sales out of the home, four blocks west of the Country Club of Little Rock.
"They just showed up," Parks said. "I don't know what they were looking for. It was King Coal's business records and our personal records in our home. That's about all I know.
"They left me scratching my head, and it was very unnerving for Anna."
What's the timetable for the IRS investigation?
"They say something like this can last eight months, but it could be less," Parks said. "That's what we're hoping for."
Parks and his lawyer in the IRS matter, Gene Sayre, said despite the IRS visit, it's business as usual for King Coal.
"What we can tell you is they're moving forward with their business," said Sayre, a partner in the Little Rock law firm of Hatfield & Sayre. "The IRS has been given all the records that they requested.
"They wanted to look over the records and make a determination of whether there is any violation of the law."
What happens next?
"We just cooperate with them and give them the records and wait to hear from them," Sayre said.
According to IRS protocol, the agency typically doesn't take the unusual step of seizing records unless there is evidence indicating the subject may destroy records, the subject is attempting to obstruct the investigation, other attempts to acquire the records were ineffective or other methods of acquiring the records may compromise the investigation.
Tax Questions
Parks has outstanding personal tax issues with the state dating back several years. It's unclear what connection, if any, these past tax troubles have with the federal inquiry.
The Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration filed a lien against Parks for unpaid 2005 taxes of $171,835 on Oct. 13, 2008. Eight months ago, DF&A filed a lien against him and his wife for unpaid taxes of $109,342 dating from Dec. 31, 2006.
The second lien is against the couple's personal property, their house and any other real estate they own. The first one is linked with any assets Parks owns individually.
According to real estate records, their 6,000-SF home carries no debt. Ownership of the residence, built in 1946 and expanded in 2010, is held in Anna's name.
King Coal Holdings LLC, a Parks-controlled entity, completed two cash purchases of Little Rock real estate this year totaling $1.1 million.
The limited liability company paid $300,000 in July for a 1,450-SF house that adjoins the couple's Country Club Heights home. Neighbors indicate Parks bought the house to further expand his family's residential property.
King Coal Holdings bought a 21,080-SF office building at 1616 Brookwood Drive in the Riverdale area for $850,000 in May. The property will become the new home for King Coal LLC.
"We've broken ground," Parks said. "We're giving the building a facelift to make that place special. It's where we're going to put our lab."
According to company information, Parks established King Coal in 2007 to mine and produce refined coal from surface and deep mines in Arkansas, as well as pursue other coal-related ventures.
Wayne Van Buren, geology supervisor with the surface mining and reclamation division of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, said King Coal has set up a mining office near the Excelsior community in Sebastian County.
"I'm familiar with them, but they haven't done anything," he said. "They've indicated they have an interest in mining, but they don't have any coal mining permits or anything."
The state tax problems for Parks date back to his unsuccessful efforts to pull off a $3.5 million stage production of the "Designing Women" sitcom and to launch a treasure hunt reality show/documentary about the recovery of a sunken fortune of Spanish booty off the coast of Panama.
Also during that time, the Arkansas State Bank Department started action that resulted in the 2007 closing of Arkansas Valley Regional Industrial Development Co.
The venture was led by Carl Bird, who is now chief engineer at King Coal. AVRID issued tax credits to help several Parks-led ventures raise capital.
Those included Sea Heritage Partners LLC, Sea Heritage Capital LLC, Natural Gas Solutions Partners LLC and Natural Gas Solutions Capital LLC.
The action to close AVRID followed Bird's failure to produce financial documents to substantiate asset claims tied to several businesses. Included in the list were Parks-led ventures such as:
- Sea Heritage, with a $150 million valuation based on a purported salvage contract with the Republic of Panama that appears to have been suspended by the Panamanian government.
- Winstarr LLC, with a $44.6 million valuation based on projected cash flow from a network of automated teller machines apparently not yet owned.
Parks and Bird disputed the bank department's findings, but AVRID surrendered its certificate of incorporation and agreed to cease and desist from operating and doing business as an industrial development company as part of a settlement agreement.

P.S. Yes, that is Ursula Andress. She played Honey Ryder. Honor Blackman was Pussy Galore - the greatest Bond girl name EVER!
You are right ladies. And that will teach me to write an entry after a night of closing the bars. Thanx!ReplyDelete
Oh god, I love twiggy.
thanks for this lovely post, I love all these ladies!
WHAT?!?!? These are all the pictures I've been searching for...if you see my blog you'll know why...haha. I can't believe you have all these.ReplyDelete
Diana Rigg filmed in her luscious bride to be beauty was the first Mrs. James Bond in the bond film "On her Majesty's Secret Service" starring man candy George Lazenby. Inevitable as it seems young love affaires to be tragic, and George Lazenby looses his young bride to a vicious revenge attach from none other than a drive by shooting attempt by lollipop licking Telly Savales. Honor Blackman in addition to being credited with expert flying skills, was a devious "Bond Girl" mayven complete with her own little "pussy cat" girls flying team from her own self named circus. The little flying pussy cat mayvens were responsible for spraying sleeping gas or gassing the soldiers at Fort Knox via a fly by for their boss Bad man "Goldfinger" on The Bond Flick Goldfinger - ( which incidentally starred a particulary purrfect Lincoln Mercury vehicle in it's own premier year, a 1967 Mercury Cougar ) Nonetheless these ladies had Hollywood hair stylists to attend to their infamous locks.

You can save up to $30 extra off of each Neuton Mower purchased!
Once one Neuton Mower appears in a neighborhood, more often than not, others soon follow. Although the Neuton is the leading battery-powered mower in the country, we're still a small company compared to the huge gas-mower businesses. So, the word of mouth advertising that the Neuton generates is really important to us. This is why, if you know of someone who might be interested in a Neuton Mower and you can order together, we'll extend extra savings to both of you as our thanks for talking up our product!
• If just one friend or neighbor orders when you do, we'll give you an extra $20 off the sale price of each mower.
• If three or more of you get together to order, you'll each save an extra $30 off the current sale price!
to qualify for up to $30 extra savings on your Neuton Mower...
If you already know someone interested in a Neuton Mower, just call us Toll-free 1-800-798-2921 to ask questions or to order. Simply provide names and addresses of each owner, and we will ship new machines directly to each buyer. One payment is required for all machines. Note: any returns will be credited to the original payment source

Volunteer as a Barnabas Partner
In Philippians chapter 1, Paul calls Christians to partner with him in his ministry. There are various ways in which you can partner with Barnabas Fund in our ministry to our persecuted brothers and sisters. Through the prayers and generosity of our supporters, and with God's help, Barnabas is able to transform the lives of Christians suffering for their faith in over 80 different countries.
Supporter resources
We have collected together in one place articles and resources which will be useful to anyone seeking to present Barnabas Fund and its work to their church - in person or via the web. We thank God for the hard work and active support so many have given over the years. Barnabas Fund could not achieve all that it does if it were not for the generosity of its supporters, in terms of time, prayer and gifts, and by the grace of God. We hope that this section will make it a little bit easier to find the resources needed to continue to be active on behalf of the persecuted church around the world.

Bob Abernethy, host of Religion & Ethics Newsweekly on PBS is the next recipient of a special Wilbur Award from the Religion Communicators Council. Abernethy, a member at Cleveland Park Congregational UCC in Washington, D.C., is to receive the honor, one of the oldest in religion communication, April 9 in Chicago during Religion Communication Congress 2010. The special award recognizes contributions Abernethy and the program have made to public discussions of faith topics.
"Since 1997, Bob has promoted intelligent, insightful examinations of faith issues on American public television," said council president Douglas F. Cannon. "As executive editor and host of Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, he has shown that the spiritual side of America is important and deserves journalistic attention."
Abernethy proposed the program concept to public station WNET in New York partly in response to widespread criticism that American television news didn't pay attention to religion, Cannon noted. Over the past 12 years Religion & Ethics Newsweekly has provided a regular place on television for fair discussion of religion and spirituality.
The council has presented Wilbur Awards annually since 1949. They honor excellence by individuals in secular media—print and online journalism, book publishing, broadcasting, and motion pictures—in communicating religious issues, values and themes. The award is named for the late Marvin C. Wilbur, a pioneer in religious public relations and longtime council leader. Religion & Ethics Newsweekly has earned Wilbur Awards for outstanding national television coverage of religion news in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2005.
From time to time the council Board of Governors confers a special Wilbur Award. It recognizes a person or organization whose body of work in secular media makes a substantial and unique contribution to public discourse on religious faith and values or interfaith dialog and understanding.
Past recipients of special Wilbur Awards include President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter; John Dart, former religion editor of the Los Angeles Times; Martin Marty of The Christian Century; Bill Moyers of Bill Moyers Journal; Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood; cartoonist Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts; and filmmaker Ken Wales.
Founded in 1929, the Religion Communicators Council is the oldest public relations professional association in the United States. It has more than 500 members and 13 regional chapters. Members represent Baha'i, Christian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish organizations and work in advertising, print and electronic communication, and public relations.

July 22, 2013 7:59 AM

The Summer 2013 event officially kicked off on July 19, and will end on July 28.
Over 100 restaurants throughout the region are taking part in the event.

I really love the videos Jason makes. The UB series clearly show how crucial refining and perfecting shapes is (how beautiful do the skills look when it's done technically correct!), and how all the shapes build from Level 4 through to 6 and beyond.
- #2 JO on 02.20.14 at 7:23 am
I love his drills too but some of those drills are impossible for a lot of coaches to do. I am a tall female coach at 5'5″. I have range of teeny tiny and kids that are my height. I can't hold many of my girls up in the air and then flip them. Well I guess I could but I would have no back, shoulder, and a hernia at the end.
What is really needed in coaches education are drills focused on the female coach and gymnasts that are as big as us. I want to keep these kids in the gym but we need better drills and education. And please don't tell me get another coach because that is usually not an option.
- #3 Just Another Opinion on 02.20.14 at 8:03 am
JO, email me some skills you're looking for ideas for and I'll give it some thought, see if I can come up with anything or have anything I already use.
In the meantime, spotting belts, extra mats, angled mats, etc. I find a well-placed physio ball can sometimes relieve some of the weight of a kid and still be mobile and get out of the way.

JAO, is the address on the you tube page?
PS. I didn't mean you specifically. I have e-mailed USAG about this and have gotten no response. I know with all of the great coaches in the US we can increase education, lower coach injury, and keep kids in the gym.
- #6 Just Another Opinion on 02.20.14 at 11:54 pm
Yes, or this name is hyperlinked I thought.
I actually get that request fairly often from people who email the YouTube account. Often it is, "I teach an adult class, and…." or "I teach high school gymnastics…" etc.
I might not have any ideas but I'd be happy to think about it if you let me know what specific skills you find the most difficult to spot/shape/teach to grown-up girls.

Susan Brownell Anthony (1820-1906) was a tireless leader of the women's rights movement, fighting over fifty years for women's suffrage (the right to vote), equal education, property rights and even dress reform. In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became a lifelong friend, and the two formed a partnership devoted to winning the right to vote.
Famous Trials: Susan B. Anthony Trial4 stars
The Nineteenth Amendment giving women suffrage was passed fourteen years after Anthony's death. "She would, however, once have the satisfaction of seeing her completed ballot drop through the opening of a ballot box. It happened in Rochester, New York on November 5, 1872, and the event and the trial for illegal voting that followed would create a opportunity for Anthony to spread her arguments for women suffrage to a wider audience than ever before." In addition to details about the trial, Famous Trials has an Anthony biography, and 100 year time line of women's struggle for the vote.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond: Susan B. Anthony3 stars
On October 10, 1978, President Carter signed the bill that created the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. It was minted four times: in 1979, 1980, 1981 and again in 1999. The coins are often called "Suzy Bucks" or "Carter's Quarters." Learn more about why they were created, and why they are no longer in production at this Federal Reserve Bank page, which also includes a time line of Anthony's achievements.
PBS: Not for Ourselves Alone5 stars
"On November 2, 1920 over eight million American women voted for the first time in American history ... The two women who had fought longest for women's rights, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, did not live long enough to cast a [legal] ballot themselves." Start with the excellent video (by clicking anywhere on the front page) and then peruse the sections listed in the horizontal menu at the bottom of the page. Be sure to visit Resources (which includes classroom topics, biographies, and original documents), Where Are We Now?, and Kids.
Stanton and Anthony Papers Online4 stars
Although much of this site from Rutgers University goes beyond what you need for a school report, there are several sections worth visiting. First (under Studies) are Anthony and Stanton biographies, along with a time line of their work. Next (also under Studies) is Child Bibliography, where you'll find a reading list of sixteen books about women's suffrage appropriate for elementary and middle-school students. The Frequently Asked Questions page is also great, with answers to some basic questions such as "Why was the vote so important?"
Susan B. Anthony House5 stars
The Susan B. Anthony House, in Rochester, New York, was Anthony's home "during the most politically active period of her life, and the site of her famous arrest for voting in 1872." The virtual tour is a treasure trove of little known facts. Other educational clicks are Biography (the most extensive biography of all of today's sites), Timeline, Dollar Coin, and Links (a good collection of women's history web sites.)

Apple Seen Selling Low-End iPhone
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) investors, fanboys, and zealots: Be prepared for a low-end iPhone. At least that is what one analyst thinks.
Credit Suisse analyst Kulbinder Garcha believes Apple is getting ready to announce a lower-end iPhone for a few reasons. He believes Apple will not only update the iPhone 5 later this year, but Apple will also announce a low-end iPhone, which will not only help Apple increase its market share but profit share as well. Garcha, who recently cut his earnings estimates, rates Apple "outperform" with a $600 price target.
There's been much speculation not only from Wall Street, but the media as well about Apple and a lower-end iPhone. There's concern that it would dilute Apple's brand, but CEO Tim Cook tried to assuage these concerns, saying Apple would never release a bad product.
"The only thing we'll never do is make a crappy product," Cook said at a Goldman Sachs conference in February. "We're going to make a great product. And so that's the only religion that we have is we must do something great, something bold, something ambitious."Even if Apple does make a lower-end iPhone, it would not be that dilutive to the brand, Garcha notes, and could have higher margins than people think. He pegs the price of a lower-end iPhone at $329, with 38% gross margins. That's lower than the gross margins Apple gets on the current version of the iPhone, but it would be in line with Apple's margins overall. A lower-end iPhone would not just be good for market share, but could provide as much as $21 billion in revenue and $5 per share in earnings by 2015. "Assuming Apple introduces a $329 iPhone in 2014 and starts to gain share in these lower price bands, we believe it could capture 40% share in the $300-$400 market," Garcha notes. Shares of Apple were higher in premarket trading, up 0.49% to $456.72. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull
