Lake Whatcom is a multi-purpose lake located in the southwestern portion of Whatcom County. It is the drinking water source for over 96,000 people in Whatcom County, with about 87,700 people residing within the City of Bellingham. Drinking water is provided by the City of Bellingham, the Lake Whatcom Water & Sewer District (formerly Whatcom County Water District No. 10), and a few smaller water associations. Approximately 250 residents draw water directly from the lake.Ā
In addition to providing drinking water, Lake Whatcom has recreational uses such as boating, swimming, fishing, and other activities.Ā About 80% of the watershed is comprised of forestlands largely surrounding Sub-basin 3.Ā There are approximately 6,800 homes currently in the watershed with a full buildout potential of approximately 8,700.Ā High-density development and development potential exists around sub-basins 1 and 2 in the Silver Beach, Britton-HIllsdale, Northshore, and Geneva neighborhoods as well as in Sudden Valley in sub-basin 3.
The Lake Whatcom Management Program (LWMP) is a joint effort between the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, and Lake Whatcom Water & Sewer District to protect and preserve Lake Whatcom as a long-term source of drinking water. In 1992, the elected bodies of the 3 entities adopted a set of 6 general and 21 specific goals for Lake Whatcom water quality protection which set into motion the Lake Whatcom Management Program.Ā In 1998, an interlocal agreement was adopted by the 3 entities which formalized the joint management of Lake Whatcom and provided a stable funding source.Ā
The Lake Whatcom Management Program utlilizes five-year work plans and sets forth tasks to achieve water quality protection in the following 12 program areas:
Representatives from various departments within the City, County, and Lake Whatcom Water and Sewer District are assigned to implement the tasks of the Management Program and to staff the Interjurisdictional Coordinating Team (ICT). The ICT meets twice a month to coordinate watershed management activities between the three entities.
Whatcom County Public Works-Stormwater is the County's lead division for tasks identified in the five-year work plans.

*The patient has the right to expect that a family member or representative and physician will be notified promptly of the patient's admission to the hospital, unless the patient requests this not be done.
To know your admission status:
Patients being evaluated for symptoms may be considered outpatients staying in the hospital. This is defined as observation status. After additional testing, it will be decided if you can be discharged or need to be admitted as an inpatient. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services created observation status for evaluations that do not meet their criteria for inpatient care. Read more.

I *heart* you, I really do. So much so that I want to display all these gooey bottled up feelings with a heart shaped mobile to show the world just how much I looove you. Aimed at 5-6 year olds for some strange reason, this phone concept showers the user with warm loving vibrations and feelings of peace. OK, I made that bit up, but I guess it shows your little Miss Sunshine that her Mummy cares for her, and has speed dial buttons specifically for your parents. I quite like the look of this, but I'm equally sure some other people (Alex, I'm talking about you) will be horribly disgusted by it. I like the way it twists from a standard looking candybar phone into a heart shape and how that transforms it into a Tetris game! Why should this be just for kids – I want it ( I might pass on the speed dial buttons to my mother though).

The Pussification of America Continues: QB Gets an Unsportsmanlike Penalty for Jumping Over a Defender
Yahoo! – Rarely have we featured a more impressive and natural hurdle than the one you see below, as turned in by Tracy (Cal.) Kimball High star Zack Johnson. Unfortunately for Johnson and Kimball, his touchdown on the play didn't count, just like some past hurdling heroics that were called back for a penalty because of the apparently unsportsmanlike act of hurdling a defender.
Wait. What? It's unsportsmanlike to jump over someone who's trying to tackle you? Even if he dives at your knees like this kid did? What am I missing? Is there some kind of rule in California that outlaws being agile and athletic? What about if you juke a kid because you have quicker feet than him? Or bury your shoulder and run through him because you're stronger? Or, God forbid, outrun him because you're faster than he is? Are those allowed or are they unsportsmanlike too? I mean, if jumping over a kid who's selling out to go low on you is a 15 yard penalty, what's to stop the defense from just laying all 11 guys across the field end to end like a speed bump? And if they do, can you step over them or are you have to stop and lay on the ground so you're being "sportsmanlike"? As a low-level assistant coach for a JV team of 6th graders whose varsity just won the Pee Wee Super Bowl, I think I'm qualified to say that when they start outlawing plays just because they're awesome, we are in for some dark days ahead, my friends. @JerryThornton1

When it comes to weight loss, web-based weight loss programs claim to offer easy access, support and flexibility. And sure enough, studies have shown they can be effective. Features associated with success include food journals, graphs that track your progress, body mass calculators and web chats, as well as interaction and feedback.
CHOICE decided to put these claims to the test by assessing five popular online programs available in Australia. A CHOICE shadow shopper signed up to each program, using her own stats and weight-loss goals. The programs were then assessed with the help of two experts.
The programs we assessed are:
Dr Kellie Bilinski is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and an Accredited Nutritionist (AN). She is also a media spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia.
Dr Nathan Johnson is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and senior lecturer at the University of Sydney. Nathan is internationally recognised for his research in exercise, obesity and diabetes.
Receive FREE email updates of our latest tests, consumer news and CHOICE marketing promotions.
The most successful weight-loss regimes are those tailored to the individual and take into account their needs, lifestyle and specific health issues, as well as having a level of accountability in terms of meeting up or checking in regularly.
Many diets out there are overly restrictive. The best ones are those based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADG) and include all food groups for balanced eating, encourage regular physical activity and discourage missing out on key nutrients.
If you're looking to lose weight but don't believe an online program is for you, talk to your GP first. They can suggest options including face-to-face programs, or may refer you to an APD who can provide advice specific to your individual needs and lifestyle. A GP can also check to see if you are ready to take on a vigorous exercise plan.
Some of the programs we assessed had a tendency to use calories rather than kilojoules - despite Australia officially switching to the metric kilojoules over 35 years ago. Dietitian Kellie Bilinski says calories are used in the US which may explain the increasing use in Australia. She also says that she prefers calories as "it's easier a bit to calculate - for example, an average female requires around 1800 calories."
CHOICE has also covered the calorie to kilojoule conundrum here.
If you aren't keen to commit to a paid plan, there are plenty of tools online that can help you keep track of both your diet and exercise regimes for nix.
Some popular sites include:
$59 joining fee, then $39.95 per week for 12 weeks on the Kickstart Plan
Gold Coast bikini model and self-proclaimed "body transformation specialist" Ashy Bines claims she's close to making her first million selling her diet secrets, and has more than 600,000 "likes" on her Facebook fanpage.
The program includes:
Kellie says Falls into my "fad diet" category. It's not in accordance with the Australian Dietary Guidelines, and there are so many supplements required it seems to be more of a money-making scam. The "detox" theory isn't based on any fact, and it doesn't take into account a person's goals, current weight or calorie requirements. There are a lot of inaccuracies and untruths that aren't based on any evidence, such as advice to eliminate sugar and the information about cravings. The eating plan is restrictive, and probably the most difficult to follow out of the plans. The nutritionist listed in the eating guidelines isn't a registered dietitian but has a "diploma" in nutrition, which is not the same as being an APD.
There are some merits to the diet – it's high in vegetables and fruits and limits processed foods, for example.
Nathan says The exercise component feels tokenistic. Group sessions doing a mix of cardio, core, and strength may not be enough to assist with weight loss. On the upside, the group aspect can be helpful for enjoyment and ensuing accountability.
CHOICE's experience After joining the challenge, our shadow shopper discovered the "diet plan" was simply a PDF file of "clean" eating guidelines with no information on portions or energy counts.
As for the promised support, our shadow shopper had problems joining up and getting an answer to her queries. After joining the Kickstart program on July 24 all she received was a link to a site to input her details, such as height, weight and how much weight she wanted to lose (with no guidance as to whether it was within a safe range or achievable).
Despite being told after signing up that a personal trainer would be in touch, after 13 days and several emails (no phone number is provided) she was told there were problems with the site and that she should just wait to hear from someone. After more emails she finally received a call to organise the classes (which had her starting the 12-week challenge 22 days late).
This popular program is a "team" event that occurs four times a year for 12 weeks. It includes detailed eating plans, shopping lists and an exercise regime that has options for home, gym or outdoors.
The program also includes:
Kellie says The eating plan is prescriptive (providing a specific daily meal plan) rather than adapting to people's current lifestyle and habits.
There seems to be a bigger emphasis on exercise, which may be unrealistic for some on their own and without the help of a personal trainer.
The eating plans are based on achieving certain amount of calories each day – 1200 for women /1600 for men. It would be difficult to maintain such a high amount of exercise on such a low-calorie restriction.
Nathan says This is the best of all the programs under review. It has well-balanced aerobic and resistance programs – weight and resistance will help you maintain muscle if you're losing weight through a diet restriction.
On the downside, the exercise component lacks supervision. If you haven't done exercise in years it could be discouraging as the intensity required is very high.
$497 for six weeks (12-week option available for $797)
Marketed as "the doctor's diet", SureSlim claims to be a personalised eating program for clients, created from the results of a blood test and the answers to a wellness profiling questionnaire. This program doesn't require any exercise.
Kellie says The diet plan is very restrictive and goes against the fundamental principles of eating a healthy, balanced diet. It doesn't need to be this complicated or restrictive (to the extent that these diets are), which just makes it less likely people won't follow it long term and therefore sets them up for failure. Advice such as always eating a mouthful of protein first or that "an apple a day blasts the fat away" – none of this is based on scientific evidence.
Nathan says I suspect a client may think that the blood test is a way of tailoring the program to them and the hormones that affect their appetite – but actually it's a fairly routine blood test. Six weeks is basically a crash diet. And the lack of exercise guidance isn't good as we know a combination of exercise and diet changes is the best way to achieve health weight loss.
$39.95 per month for three months
This program, which sits under the banner of the popular reality TV show, provides a personal daily calorie target based on your current and goal weight, as well an exercise guide. The program also has an option to lose "six kilos in six weeks or your money back".
Kellie says The eating plan is prescriptive (in terms of being told specifically what to eat every day) rather than adapting to lifestyle and habits. Like the Michelle Bridges and Ashy Bines plans this is also a 12-week program, and may create the impression that once the 12 weeks are over a person can go back to "normal".
There's good support information, and although the advice to follow a low-fat diet is generally OK, it doesn't mention that you can eat too many calories on a low-fat diet and gain weight (low-fat doesn't always also mean low-kilojoule).
Nathan says The recommended "dose" of exercise for the shadow shopper was quite low at 150 minutes per week. For weight loss we'd recommend 250 minutes a week.
$31.65 per month plus $41 registration fee
The online version of Weight Watchers uses the ProPoints system, which allocates a number of points to each food. Each individual is allocated a number of daily points depending on their weight and goals, allowing them to choose and track what they eat via the site.
Kellie says The points system is a really good way of giving people flexibility to adapt to a particular situation. Developed under the supervision and advice of medical and nutritional experts, it has been around for a long time.
Nathan says On the whole the physical component is lacking, beyond providing information about exercise. Studies have shown that just providing information about exercise isn't a successful strategy.

Egypt claims successes in operations against Gaza smuggling tunnels
The head of engineering for the Egyptian Armed Forces, Major General Tahir Abdullah, announced today that authorities had successfully demolished 154 of 276 tunnels between Egypt and Gaza. At least 137 tunnels were destroyed twice, Abudallah said, as smuggling operations had resumed within them after they were first targeted.
Abdullah stressed that authorities are working nonstop to close the tunnels. According to Ma'an News Agency, the 276 tunnels were "previously unknown." A recent Reuters report stated that the number of tunnels between Gaza and Egypt was around 1,000. Other reports have put the number higher, while still others have said it is much lower.
Today's announcement comes after a number of reports in April of successful operations against smuggling, in particular the smuggling of weapons, in the Sinai and near Egypt's border with Libya. In February, Essam Haddad, national security adviser to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, said Egypt was targeting smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza because "[w]e don't want to see these tunnels used for illegal ways of smuggling either people or weapons that can really harm Egyptian security."
Today authorities also announced the seizure of a lifeboat that was being smuggled from Egypt to Gaza. And yesterday, security forces seized 10 vehicles that were being smuggled to Gaza and destroyed at least one tunnel. In addition, in the western part of Egypt, near the Salloum land port, authorities interdicted a cache of drugs and weapons.
Weapons and drugs seized by Egyptian authorities on May 5. |
On May 1, authorities announced a successful operation against a weapons smuggling attempt through the Salloum land port, a key crossing between Egypt and Libya. On the same day, a smuggling tunnel that was approximately 16 feet wide and 13 feet deep was destroyed near Rafah.
On April 28, authorities announced the seizure of a number of missiles near Siwa, not far from the Libyan border. Three days earlier, Egyptian authorities announced they were questioning an 11-member jihadist cell that was apprehended the week before. The cell, which was said to include Egyptian, Palestinian, and Lebanese citizens, was plotting to target an Egyptian military installation in Rafah.
On April 24, authorities seized and performed a controlled detonation of an explosives cache found in el Arish. The day before, authorities interdicted a number of weapons in western Egypt near Libya. On April 22, authorities discovered weapons and drugs in a raid in the Sinai that resulted in the arrest of at least one person.
On April 20, the Interior Ministry announced it had provided Sinai police with heavier weapons to help target "hostile targets." On the same day, authorities said they had successfully demolished a "giant" smuggling tunnel between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
Five days earlier, a weapons cache, including mines and antiaircraft weaponry, which was destined for the Gaza Strip, was seized by authorities in the Sinai. A second cache of weaponry also in the Sinai was discovered later in the day. The previous day, authorities seized a number of automatic weapons from a vehicle traveling near the El Salam Bridge.
On April 13, authorities prevented the smuggling of weapons, money, and drugs at the Salloum land port. The day before, authorities found a weapons cache that included TNT and antitank mines in el Arish
On April 10, four suspected jihadists in the possession of weaponry were arrested by Egyptian authorities in Rafah. A couple of days later, authorities seized a variety of arms and ammunition from a weapons cache approximately three miles from the border with Israel. On the same day, a second cache of weapons was discovered in central Sinai.
Two days before these discoveries, authorities seized an explosives cache in Rafah that was intended to be smuggled into the Gaza Strip. And on April 2, Egyptian authorities arrested 15 suspected Islamist militants in the Sinai, and seized a weapons cache in the Sinai that included antiaircraft missiles.
Although these announcements may appear minor, recent reports suggest that increased operations in the Sinai, among other factors, have prevented Hamas from replenishing its weapons arsenal since the end of Operation Pillar of Defense in November. According to the Tower, Egyptian and Israeli officials have both stated that since the end of Pillar of Defense, "no long-range missiles have entered Gaza."
READER COMMENTS: "Egypt claims successes in operations against Gaza smuggling tunnels"
Posted by artcohn at May 7, 2013 4:44 PM ET:
I do not understand the current purpose of the tunnels. The armaments have been shipped to the Egyptian ports, then transported,openly, across Egyptian territory to the Philidelphi Corridor. For what reason can't they then be transported openly across the Corridor?
Posted by My2Cents at May 8, 2013 6:38 PM ET:
1000 tunnels across a border 11km long equals 1 tunnel per 11 meters, which doesn't seem possible unless that is the total number of tunnels ever build or rebuilt.
Posted by SlayerMill at May 9, 2013 4:57 PM ET:
I have an honest question free to anyone who has the answer. Has the State Department independently verified these Egyptian reports about successful drug and weapon interdiction missions? If not; how can we even remotely believe these aren't just false claims to ensure the two billion dollar a year average the U.S has pumped into Egypt since the late 70's, keeps flowing? Putting together a little photo op with a bunch of weapons the Egyptian military laid out from its own personal armory and claiming they're insurgent weapons, isn't difficult to do. It's probably good enough in our State Departments eyes to publicly justify throwing billions of much needed U.S tax-payer dollars into an Egyptian/ Muslim Brotherhood toilet though. If a "tough on terrorism" show for the U.S is what Egypt is doing, they can quit while they're ahead, because the U.S doesn't give Egypt money to ensure they can effectively combat jihadists. Egypt gets money to leave the Suez Canal and Israel alone, that's it.

Michael Schumacher has hinted that a Ferrari revival could be on the cards in 2006. Following three days testing with their new 248 F1 machine in Spain last week, Schumacher suggested that the Italian team are among those most likely to challenge world champions Renault for this years title.
Renault seem to be the strongest team at this time, but Honda and ourselves are not far behind, he told his official website. That's my view right now.
Schumachers fastest time at Valencia last week was a 1m 11.640s. That was just over a second slower than Fernando Alonsos best of 1m 10.530s for Renault, but nevertheless, the German was happy with Ferraris progress.
All in all, I'm absolutely satisfied with where we're at, he added. There is still no reason to be less than optimistic. Of course, we encountered a few small problems during our tests - but finding them is what testing is all about. But in general things are looking good.
Schumacher needs a dramatic improvement in Ferraris form if he is to have any chance of recapturing his championship crown from Alonso. Last year in the uncompetitive F2005, he won just a single race to the Spaniards seven.

There have been some discussions about folks who carry with the safety on or off, and with or without a round in the chamber.
This poll has a simple question: If you MUST carry a semi-auto hand gun that has an external safety (make it something like a Beretta 92fs), how do you carry it? For the sake of the poll, please pretend that this will be the only handgun you will carry and you will practice with whatever condition you choose to carry it in.
This poll is NOT about what kind of gun you do carry and I am not interested in replies like "I carry a Sig226 so it does not have a safety" or "My 1911 must have the safety on when cocked and locked".
I understand that a lot of choose to carry in different ways and this thread is intended to share WHY we do what we do.

A gram stain of urethral discharge is a test used to identify bacteria in fluid from the tube that drains urine from the bladder (urethra).
Urethral discharge Gram stain
Fluid from the urethra is collected on a cotton swab. A sample from this swab is applied in a very thin layer to a microscope slide. A series of stains called a gram stain is applied to the specimen.
The stained smear is then examined under the microscope for the presence of bacteria. The color, size, and shape of the cells help identify the organism causing the infection.
This test is often performed in the health care provider's office.
You may feel pressure or burning when the cotton swab touches the urethra.
The test is performed when an abnormal urethral discharge is present. It may be performed if a sexually transmitted disease is suspected.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results may indicate gonorrhea or other infections.
There are no risks.
A culture of the specimen (urethral discharge culture ) should be performed in addition to the gram stain. More sophisticated diagnostic tests (such as PCR tests) are sometimes also done.

Ryan Walsh's camp will make an official complaint to the British Boxing Board of Control after the Cromer fighter failed in his British Masters title bid.
Walsh – and most others inside the Norfolk Showground – was convinced he had done enough to beat Scotland's Ronnie Clark for the vacant super-featherweight belt, but was stunned that referee Mark Green called it a 95-95 draw.
While the 26-year-old stood looking in disbelief at the official, a clearly surprised Clark celebrated wildly.
"We will make a complaint, definitely," said trainer Graham Everett. "It was a big enough win – we will make our feelings known.
"To be honest, I would have scored that seven rounds to three for Ryan. Ryan made him miss so much. I thought Ryan boxed him comfortably.
"The most surprised person in there when he got the draw was Ronnie Clark himself. He admitted to us that he hadn't got it."
Walsh himself appealed in vain to the official.
"I said to the referee, 'a draw? You are the only man in this building, including my opponent, including his team, who thought it was a draw'.
"It feels like a victory for them because they know they didn't get even the draw. But as my very wise twin brother (Liam) said to me, 'if this is what is written, if this is what is meant to be, then so be it'. There is no point crying about it. But I am going to pursue the board.
"I would like to sit down with my referee tonight, and watch that fight with him, because I am a keen judge myself, I am very honest and very fair and I would love to sit down with him and watch this fight together and find out how he gave him five rounds. I gave him three, maybe four.
"So three and a draw and I still win the fight. When he said 95 I was shocked. I worked too hard here to get a draw."
The decision was the only blemish on a night when the card was reduced to five bouts after a series of late withdrawals – although there were excellent victories for Scott Moises, Nathan Dale and former Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam Sexton, making a rare appearance in front of his home fans.
"I was really pleased with them," said Everett. "They fought well and they fought to the plan. It has been a difficult week but (promoter) Mervyn Turner was determined not to pull the plug on the show, as he could easily have done. The withdrawals were nothing to do with him, but he has worked so hard and will have lost a lot of money, just to ensure the show went ahead and he should be applauded for that."

I was at that show and believe it was an incredibly close fight.... Both amazing boxers! Walsh was offered a rematch but refused... If he was that hard done by with the result why not take a rematch?

Agreed by the teams back in 2009, the enforced factory shutdown in August was introduced to give the men and women who work tirelessly throughout the season a respite from the hectic world that is Formula One racing.
With the quest for automotive perfection naturally being a time consuming process, it was deemed essential for the industry in its entirety to take a break and recharge for the second part of the year. The Lotus team explain more.
There are no excuses regarding the shutdown, with every team obliged to close their doors over the course of 14 days. This year those 14 days had to commence either on the Monday immediately after the Hungarian Grand Prix, or a week later on August 6.
Under normal circumstances, the Lotus crew - like their rivals - are in action even during gaps between Grands Prix; with new projects, forthcoming concepts and upgrades for the current cars constantly in development back at the factory, while the race team will be stripping down, repairing and tweaking the E20s ready for the next race weekend.
Its a process which never ceases, and over the 20-race season which forms the modern calendar it comes as a well-earned rest for everyone involved; from the people who travel across the world with the race team to those back at the factory working just as hard in search of the success every member craves.
On returning from Hungary, the trucks were unloaded, the cars stripped and sent off for re-sprays where needed, and all loose ends tied off ready to get straight back to business, but come Friday of that same week it was time to pack up and head home.
Paul Seaby, Lotuss race team manager, has seen both sides of the coin; from the relentless format adopted before the shutdown came into being, to the current set-up we see today, and for Seaby the advantages are clear to see.
On the race team we all start to get a bit tired and grumpy around this sort of time as weve been on the road for so long, so the break helps to keep everyone motivated, he says. We all get to see our families and have a rest, which is really important when you look at the shifts our guys - and everyone in the paddock - put in over the course of a race weekend. I know the crew are looking forward to it, and they deserve the reward for all the hard work they put in.
As mentioned previously, the shutdown not only gives the race team some time off, but the crew back at the factory as well who are working round the clock to bring new parts for the E20 throughout the season and to create the next challenger designed to propel Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjena to the front of the pack, as Ben Tiley, composite technician in Lotuss suspension department, explains.
Formula One is such a 24-7 industry that I think sometimes we all need a bit of a rest to regroup and recuperate from the hectic schedule, he says. All through the year its like a concentrated pocket of hard work, and while that intensity is the thing that keeps us motivated it can also be quite draining! This year has been particularly busy with the success the team has had so far and the rate of development needed to maintain that level of performance. With positive results, the workload is actually raised and remains constant with no real drop off as we aim to push the car even further up the grid. Hopefully well have a chance to take advantage of the late summer were having this year and come back with a fresh determination.
Once Enstone lights up again to welcome the 500 odd members of the family back to base, theres still plenty to look forward to before the cars even turn a wheel. The race crew for example will be heading off to the Isle of Wight for a day; sailing around the coast on a treasure hunt as part of a team building programme.
Of course, eventually its back to the grindstone for everyone. With a week to prepare for the Belgian Grand Prix, rebuilds on Raikkonens and Grosjeans rides wont begin until the Wednesday after the break, giving the crew time to brush off the cobwebs and get back into the regular routine with pit stop practices and the like before the rollercoaster ride springs back into action with opening practice at Spa-Francorchamps on August 31.

I have dual nationality with Ireland and I am proud of my heritage every day of the year. But in France, where I live today, St. Patrick's Day has an extra special meaning. My name is Patricia and my husband, who is French, is Patrick. So the "two Ps", as we are often called, will probably head off to one of the Irish pubs in Paris in search of music and some craic (fun).
To celebrate, I am sharing a story and some photos with you. I enjoy telling stories as much as I do writing them. I come from a family of storytellers and I spent many hours listening to my father's stories and jokes. My father and his family came from the West of Ireland. This holiday is also a time of memory for Irish people, remembering those who have passed on.
Let's travel for a moment to a broad valley of steep mountains and deep ancient lakes. The landscape in Doolough Valley in County Mayo is beautiful in a wild, windswept sort of way. When you leave the comfort of your car, you soon realize that that a primal, piercingly cold dampness lies in the shadows of the silent mountains. If you open your senses, you will detect a lonely emptiness in the landscape. With a shiver, most travelers snap a photo and return to their cars, glad to find shelter from the elements.
And perhaps, as their car follows the small twisting road, they wonder about those who came to this isolated valley before them. Men, women and children lost their lives during a fateful walk here during the time of the Great Famine in 1849. Read more here. Their footsteps have been lost in time but memory of their death lives on.This monument bears the inscription: ldjdjaljdjajaljadjl
How can men feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings? – Mahatma Gandhi
An annual memorial walk is held and focuses on the ongoing hunger and injustices in the world today. It is a credit to the Irish people that their tragic past has enabled them to respond with care and compassion to the needs of others – Ireland is one of the first nations to respond to famines, natural disasters and relief efforts.
But Ireland is also about enjoying life, and you can hardly go anywhere without hearing music and there are many fine musicians and songs. I couldn't begin to list them all here, so I just advise you to go to Ireland and enjoy discovering some favorites of your own! :-) But as you view the following photos from my recent trip, have a listen to this classic, "Ferny Hill", performed by the legendary group The Chieftains.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
An instant classic since its 2005 opening, the four-story Chedi occupies the former grounds of the British Consulate, a 1920s building retained as the hotel's centerpiece restaurant and bar. Nothing else is old-school about the hotel, where the 84 teak-paneled minimalist rooms have low platform beds and modern wicker furniture. Club suite rooms at the end of each north-wing floor have the best river views; the higher-priced rooms also include a free mini-bar, laundry and butler service, and evening cocktails. A spa, swimming pool, and gym are on-site, of course, and breakfast comes with the best cappuccino in town. In the evenings, glowing candles are set on lily pads in the reflecting pool fronting the lobby.
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Chiang Mai's Chedi has upped the ante in this newly posh town on the Mae Ping River. The 84 sleek rooms, protected from urban noise by two sets of thick doors, have sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of Thai river life. Daybeds indoors and out are a relaxing pleasure, as are teak chaises by the riverfront pool. The hotel wraps around the open-air restaurant, where two Indian chefs spice up an East-meets-West menu. A wrought iron staircase twists up to the rooftop bar. Plans are under way to build a traditional wooden boat for river explorations, but for now, nature lovers can set out via Land Rover for hill tribe treks and elephant tours. 2006 Hot ListAmenities: Pool, Spa

Hiroshi Sakatomi, vice-president of Sony Home Entertainment, has hinted that the PlayStation 3's successor may be announced as early as May 2013.
Speaking to Emol.com at CES last week (via a translation by Google), Sakatomi-san said that details regarding the PlayStation 4 were "still a big secret, but our friends are preparing Sony PlayStation."
"I can only say that we are focused on the E3 gaming event, scheduled for June. [The] announcement may be in that minute or even earlier in May."
Quizzed whether the announcement would be a major or minor deal, he replied: "Probably the first. In that time we expect to deliver great news, but we must wait until May at least."
Sony has remain tight-lipped in regards to its next-generation home console, though rumors have been circulating for some time now. According to reports, PS4 is codenamed Orbis and features a four-core AMD x86 3.2GHz processor and AMD 800 series GPU under its hood.
Internet gossip points to an early 2014 launch, although some outlets have pegged the console for a late 2013 release too alongside Microsoft's new Xbox.
Regardless, it is widely believed that Sony will lift the wraps off PS4 at E3 in June. Whether or not we'll see a slightly earlier reveal as Sakatomi hinted at remains to be seen.
Stay tuned to PSU.com for more details.

Photo by Ian Witlen |
Gene Simmons and new wife Shannon Tweed are having a honeymoon of sorts during the inaugural KISS Kruise. Here is a photo of them boarding the ship on Thursday afternoon for the weekend cruise from Miami to Half Moon Cay to the Bahamas and back.
"I got Gene!" was a common exclamation, but really Gene's got us. Nearly 2,000 members of the KISS Navy on his boat, and there's no way out until Monday. Later that evening, Simmons and the rest of KISS emerged from their security-guarded portion of the boat to perform unmasked, and speak with fans for a Q&A.

PORT HOPE -- A man arrested for growing pot inside the old file factory on Cavan Street had a licence to grow medicinal marijuana -- just not the $1.8 million worth of plants discovered, according to police.
Port Hope police shut down the marijuana grow operation on Nov. 19, clearing 1,824 pot plants from three rooms, while finding other areas in the process of construction which would have been able to grow thousands more.
"It is one of the largest indoor drug grow-ops I have seen in Port Hope," Detective Constable Dan Linker said.
Det. Const. Linker said the man arrested had a licence to grow up to 268 marijuana plants -- something the building's owner, Yigal Rifkind, knew about.
A Toronto-based lawyer, Mr. Rifkind rented living space inside the factory to Marek Pernicka, 24, of Toronto.
Mr. Rifkind has 10 years of legal experience dealing with medical marijuana licensing in Canada through growlegally.ca -- a website that helps Canadians who suffer from terminal illnesses, pains or severe conditions get legal access to medical marijuana under Health Canada's Marijuana Medical Access Regulations program.
"The tenant at the file factory has a medical licence and is allowed to grow (marijuana)," Mr. Rifkind said in an e-mail to Northumberland News. "Though, from what I gathered from the (Northumberland News) article, he may have been growing a number that exceeds his licence. If this is true, then the overgrowing is exceedingly stupid."
On Nov. 19, Mr. Pernicka was arrested after officers discovered the massive marijuana grow-operation inside the old factory.
Mr. Rifkind's law office in Toronto does consulting work regarding medical marijuana licences through growlegally.ca.
"Though I don't technically own the website ... all correspondence comes through our office and our office is listed as the contact if someone is submitting an application to Health Canada," he said. "We do work for (the website), we do work for their clients and we do work for other medical marijuana clients. The purpose of the website is to help people get a licence to grow medical marijuana."
Mr. Rifkind bought the old factory in February with plans to convert the building, which is made up of eight smaller buildings, into residential units and commercial space.
He said he rented the space to Mr. Pernicka because "he had nowhere else to go." Mr. Rifkind said many landlords are not keen on renting to medical marijuana tenants.
"Renting to tenants like this contains a significant amount of risk," he said, adding tenants can destroy the building, tenants overgrow, police get involved, and the neighbours find out and start sending hate mail.
"So I wasn't keen on the option," Mr. Rifkind said. "However, eight months into owning a building with no tenants and completion of construction at least a year off, a tenant who will take responsibility for repairing his unit and who will watch over the other units starts to seem like a capital idea."
Regardless of the activity, neighbour Jerry Shirk said he and many of his neighbours feel safe in their neighbourhood.
"There are grow-ops everywhere nowadays," said Bill Todd, who lives across the street from the derelict building. "Of course it's a concern, but not a huge problem. I moved here a year ago from Castleton and I feel safe in these parts."
Mr. Todd said he was surprised when he heard about the drug bust.
"I talked to (Mr. Rifkind) when he bought the property and he said he was going to do this and that with the building," Mr. Todd said. "They have been doing a lot of roof work lately."
Port Hope Mayor Linda Thompson said she was disappointed when she learned of the drug bust.
"We had an owner that purchased these lands who identified to the community some great plans that we were looking forward to," she said. "Hopefully, those plans will move forward."
According to Mr. Rifkind, he has no intention of stopping work on the building and will move forward with his plans to revitalize the building.
Port Hope councillor David Turck, who also chairs the protection to persons and property committee, said he was happy to hear of the drug bust.
"We've put down another grow-op," he said. "(Grow-ops) can be in your own backyard. You just don't know where they are."
Mr. Pernicka is charged with production of marijuana, possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled in court on Jan. 18.
Port Hope Police Chief Kevin McAlpine said the investigation is ongoing.

Im trying to create a supply route from one of my cores to a port in one of my puppets. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. Am I missing something?

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. - Gen James Mattis
Hmm, that mat be a really strong argument against creating Puppets. I'm having MASSIVE supply problems as Italy.
I have about 9 Corps of units attacking USSR from Turkey, and most of them are completely out of supply, and I can't seem to do anything to help them.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. - Gen James Mattis
It makes creating Puppets for anyone but Germany and SU counter productive. Basically you can only create puppets where you have little intention to garrison and want to largely ignore and they dont have much IC or resources or manpower or anything of value.
Basically, dont create puppets. rofl
War Plan Orange [Multiplayer for AoD, HOI3, CKII, AGEOD, RoF & WitP:AE]
One of the things neither Victoria (I) nor any installations of HOI ever got anywhere near right was logistics. Which for a grand scale war strategy game means missing one of the core goals.
The politician that publicly pretends to improve happiness or just satisfaction of people should be executed. The only thing good policy can acheive is minimizing pain and prevent suffering as much as possible. Every other attempt produces hell more often than not.
Well.. I've always felt that when you Puppeted a country, you didn't lose much more in IC and Leadership if you Conquered it.
BUT...if you Conquered, you'd be dealing with never-ending problems with Partisans (a huge PITA to me). So I figured Puppets might work. Besides, I got to keep most of thier army so it seemed like sa good trade off.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. - Gen James Mattis
air bridges could work perfectly for your scenario. Does turkey actually have a supply stockpile or is there a land route to roma? If there is a capital stockpile in turkey then start dumping supply into that stockpile and it'll be more efficient than a naval route. You'll still have the problem of throughput issues in russia eventually but since you've already invested in air bridging to turkey it shouldn't be too difficult to extend the strategy to assist with the russian invasion as well.
If you wanted to invade Russia through turkey, you should have conquered, puppeting is special occasions.
While Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Tokugawa were watching a cuckoo bird waiting for it to sing but the bird doesn't sing and Nobunaga says that "Little bird, if you don't sing I will kill you." And Hideyoshi says that "Little bird, if you don't sing, I'll make you sing." Then Tokugawa Ieyasu says that " Little bird, if you don't sing I will wait for you to sing."
If you have a land connection to the puppet, set up a trade with the puppet to give them supplies. If they will not accept this then the AI needs to be changed to force puppets to accept and require them to ask to accumulate debt if they don't have the money. That seems complex, but the mechanics used for this are already in place.
Puppeting is only useful in my opinion as a buffer (like a feudal march) or for countries very far away with no possibility of a land connection. Otherwise the supply system does need to be addressed to make it easier to supply your puppets.
most puppets will relinquish their supply system to their master, Manchuria and most of the asian controlled Japanese mainland nations are good examples, its when a puppet assumes its own stockpile that it becomes a major issue, this can be fixed by saving the game before the conquer message...if the stockpile appears then reload and choose conquer instead. While the logistical anomaly is annoying, there are work arounds to fixing the issue if you are painted into a corner with it. In this particular scenario as I already posted, airbridge could probably be sufficient to counteract the supply anomaly. You could also simply edit your savegame and manually move all your capital stockpile supply to turkey's capital stockpile supply. If its a singleplayer game...and nobody is looking, are you really going to worry about the ethics of editing files to fix a bug? Its not like your gaining an unfair advantage over your opponent....the fact that you have a brain is already a huge unfair advantage over the Paradox AI.

The job of a professor at the postsecondary or higher education level involves not only lecturing and teaching students in the classroom, but working with them to develop research, dissertations, or thesis-based papers as well. A professor also must be able to perform research, collect and analyze data, and examine original documents, literature, and other source material.
Read More...Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
As Professors transition into upper-level roles such as Chairman, they may see a strong upturn in salary. Chairmans on average earn $145K per year. The most common promotion for Professors is Dean of Graduate Studies, a position that typically pays $106K annually. Another standard transition for Professors seeking advancement is to assume a College Department Chair role, where pay is often $74K.
Dominating the field, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Arizona State University (ASU), University of Minnesota, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), and University of Washington (UW) are top firms with a reputation for hiring a great number of Professors. University of Southern California (USC) pays the most with a median salary of $156K, though with a large amount of variation, going from a low of $122K to a high of $323K. Other leaders in compensation levels are University of California, San Diego (UCSD) at $141K, Emory University at $140K, and Arizona State University (ASU), where Professors annually earn $138K.
Relative to other names in the field, compensation is very low at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) — the median salary comes to just $77K, less than half of the top paying employer's rate. Florida Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) University (famu), San Diego State University (SDSU), and New York University (NYU) also rank near the bottom for pay, handing out $90K, $95K, and $99K-paychecks on average.
Survey takers working as Professors report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Engineering Design, Molecular Biology, and Clinical Research are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 39 percent, 37 percent, and 22 percent, respectively. Those listing Mathematica as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Counseling and Public Speaking also typically command lower compensation. It is often found that people who know Research Analysis are also skilled in Administration and Writing Procedures & Documentation. It is often found that people who know Oral / Verbal Communication are also skilled in Writing Procedures & Documentation and Administration.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Professors generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. Salaries for inexperienced workers average out to $68K, and those with five to 10 years' experience earn a higher median of $56K. Professors who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $88K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $100K.
Los Angeles is home to an above-average pay rate for Professors, 38 percent higher than the national average. Professors will also find cushy salaries in San Francisco (+29 percent), Philadelphia (+26 percent), Boston (+25 percent), and San Diego (+23 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Miami, 8 percent below the national average.
