Kvaerner in bid talks with Trafalgar House
Wednesday 28 February 1996
Kvaerner, the Norwegian engineering group, is in takeover talks with Trafalgar House - in a move that may end Hongkong Land's disastrous four- year investment in the UK company.
It was unclear last night whether Kvaerner wanted to buy all or part of Trafalgar, but the Norwegian company said that it was only interested in securing an agreed deal. Kvaerner, which last year failed in its bid for the UK contractor Amec, is thought to be mainly interested in Trafalgar's struggling John Brown and Davy engineering businesses. Trafalgar also owns the loss-making Cunard shipping line.
Hongkong Land, part of the powerful Keswick family's Jardine empire, holds 26 per cent of Trafalgar but is regarded as the company's effective controller. Some estimates put Hongkong Land's total investment in Trafalgar, including buying the original stake and subscription to two rights issues, at up to pounds 900m.
Some analysts yesterday said that Kvaerner may have to pay at least 50p an ordinary share for Trafalgar, which would value the company at about pounds 530m and Hongkong Land's stake at about pounds 133m.
Including the preference shares - a large tranch of which are owned by Hongkong Land - Kvaerner may have to pay close to pounds 800m.
Trafalgar's ordinary shares closed up 9p to 48p last night., having risen steadily over the past few weeks as rumours spread that the company was in talks. Kvaerner yesterday admitted it had held talks, and the company is now likely to post a formal offer in the next few days.
The position of Hongkong Land is pivotal, but a spokesman said that it would be guided by the advice of the board of Trafalgar House on the merits of any bid.
Zafar Khan, analyst at Societe Generale Strauss Turnbull, said: "If Hongkong Land decides to take the money and run then the rest of the shareholders are likely to follow. This is almost impossible to price. Trafalgar is a loss maker and has been for many years. What will decide the price is how much Hongkong Land is willing to accept."
Trafalgar House said that a formal offer from Kvaerner was expected soon. Scandinavian companies do not have a culture of hostile bids, and Kvaerner's failed battle for Amec was very bruising.
Trafalgar has been bleeding money, and the Keswick's investment has hurt their reputation for spotting good deals. Last December, Trafalgar reported another set of gloomy results, with annual pre tax losses of pounds 321m.
Blackspots included the Davy Metals engineering company and the Cunard cruise line, which made an operating loss of pounds 170m. These units also cost another pounds 171m in restructuring charges. The company has also been hit by poor performance in its construction business, which has suffered from cut-throat competition.Nigel Rich, Trafalgar's chief executive, said at the time that he believed the company could turn the construction and engineering businesses to profit within two years.
But Hongkong Land may not now be prepared to wait that long. It was speculated that Jardine was using Trafalgar to channel funds out of Hong Kong before the transfer to Chinese rule, but the Keswicks may now need a new strategy.
Kvaerner would be particularly interested in the engineering and construction units, and has the cash to fund capital intensive projects in those markets. The company wants to diversify away from its dependency on North Sea oil- related fabrication businesses.

NPR makes layoffs, other changes
- Tierney Plumb
- Staff Reporter
National Public Radio, which has been facing a decline in corporate sponsorships, will lay off 13 employees and implement other cost-savings measures to close its $15 million budget gap it is facing over the next two years.
Most of the cuts are being made in its information technology, legal services and communications departments, according to NPR. Five of the 13 affected employees are being offered other positions at the company.
The moves will help NPR close a projected $8 million budget gap during its current fiscal year, and $7 million in fiscal year 2010.
Effective May 1, the D.C.-based nonprofit broadcaster will also furlough its employees for five days until its new fiscal year starts Oct. 1. They will also not be compensated for Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day this year and for three holidays next year.
NPR will also eliminate contributions to employee retirement accounts until Oct. 1 and will slash contributions by half next year, NPR confirmed. It will also eliminate merit pay increases in 2010.
The company will save $13 million through temporary reductions to employee benefits and compensation and eliminating five vacant positions and temporarily freezing 13 unfilled jobs until Oct. 1 will close the remainder of the gap.
The company gave employees the chance to voice what cost-savings measures the company could implement.
In March, the company shared updated financial forecasts for 2009 and 2010 with its staff and stations and opened up a suggestion box.
"While cutting benefits and compensation, and losing talented staff, is difficult, the cuts announced today are necessary to assure that NPR weathers the difficult economic times," said the nonprofit broadcaster, in a statement. "NPR will continue to take a rigorous approach to controlling expenses in the months ahead."
In December NPR cut 64 jobs -- or 7 percent of its staff -- and eliminated two programs.

Two people were arrested after two incidents at Metro Bank in Bromley High Street yesterday (August 21) afternoon.
Police were called at around 5.10pm to reports of a man attempting to open a bank account with false documents.
They arrested a 33-year-old man for possession of a false identification card.
The man was later given an adult caution for the offence and referred to immigration officers over his immigration status.
While officers were at the bank they also came across an incident between two women.
A 54-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of ABH and assault on a police officer.
She remains in police custody at a south London police station.
Enquiries continue.

Any bacterium with a tongue-twister name like methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus — a.k.a. MRSA — must be serious, right?
Well, it can be.
In humans, MRSA infections can even be life-threatening. And while these infections aren't as common in pets, they can still cause serious illness in
cats and other animals.
Healthy people commonly carry
Staphylococcus aureus on their skin and in their noses. If the bacteria enter the body through a cut or scrape, it can lead to a skin or soft tissue infection.
Treatment with a class of antibiotics called beta-lactams usually does the trick. However, if these bacteria become resistant to methicillin (a type of beta-lactam), other antibiotics — such as penicillin and amoxicillin — usually won't work either.
If this happens, it could be necessary to use another antibiotic that may not be as effective, comes with more side effects and can be more expensive.
MRSA infections are not as common in dogs and cats. While MRSA is a major issue in human health,
dogs are more likely to be affected by a different bacterial strain called methicillin-resistant staphylococcus pseudointermedius or MRSP. These infections usually infect canines through skin wounds, surgical sites and ears — and like MRSA, they are difficult to treat.
Although the precise behavior of these bacteria is still unknown, it has been suggested that MRSP shows a preference for living on pets, but animals colonized with MRSA will often clear the bacteria on their own within a few weeks. In the same way, MRSP appears to be poorly adapted to humans.
People can acquire MRSA from pets — and vice versa. Humans commonly contract MRSA in hospital settings, but they can also become infected in the greater community if they come in direct contact with a person, pet or object contaminated with MRSA. But while pets can transmit MRSA to humans, their role is thought to be relatively minor.
For pets with active MRSA infections, the bacteria can be transmitted to humans either by direct contact with the infected area or contaminated items, such as bedding. A colonized animal often carries the bacteria around the nose and anus, so people should be
vigilant about washing and sanitizing their hands after touching pets or picking up feces.

Jerry West thinks Lakers' days are numbered; Celtics may be best this year
Jan 21, 2011, 10:22 PM EDT
Do you have any idea how much it pains Jerry West to say the Celtics are the best team in the NBA? To say that the Lakers' window is closing because they are getting old?
But West is nothing if not a straight shooter, and it was that speaking to the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association, as reported by the Orange County Register.
So when one of the dealers asked West who would win the NBA title this year, he told it as he saw it.
"I think Boston is a very dangerous team," he said of the Celtics. "I would not want to play them every other night."
As for the current Lakers, they are in the mix, too. For now.
"I don't think the Lakers will be good for much longer, " he said.
"You can keep a car running for a long time by changing the tires, etc. You can't change a player's tires."
West said many of the Lakers' current players are "getting long in the tooth."
"If there's a loose ball now, how often do they get it?" West pointed out to the crowd, which was relishing the sports talk.

the celtics have been the best team for the last 3 years, but just crippled by key injuries…with KG two years ago and Perkins last year, the celtics would be three time defending champs
- ljp305 - Jan 22, 2011 at 3:53 PM
Sir, NBA Rules neither award point nor determine champions based on "what if" scenarios of either competitor. Otherwise even you must accept plausibility of the argument that the Laker were the best team three years ago (and the Lakers would have had their 3-peat) but for Bynum's injury. Or, would you accept that the Lakers were better in 1984 but for Game 2 of the NBA Finals? In that game, the Lakers led 113–111 with 18 seconds left and Gerald Henderson stole a James Worthy inbound pass to score a game tying layup and the Celtics eventually prevailed in overtime 124–121. If Worthy makes a better inbound pass, say to B Scott who had a possible break-away opportunity toward the front court rather than passing into the back court which enabled the Henderson steal, the Lakers go up 2-0 for the series after the first two games in Boston. What if there was no NBA "junior eligible" rule that existed in 1978 which allowed a collegiate player (Larry Bird) to be drafted when the player's original "entering" class was graduating and giving the drafting team (Boston in this case) one calendar year to sign the player, even if they went back to college as Larry Bird did? And what if the St. Louis Hawks didn't trade Bill Russell to Boston for Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley in 1956? I could offer more what ifs, but I also heard that someone smart said "if frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their rear ends when they jump". Your arguments about "KG two years ago and Perkins last year" have as much weight and validity as me saying I won the lottery but for changes in 1 or 2 numbers.
- raiderdave - Jan 22, 2011 at 4:08 PM
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Key injuries happen to teams each and every year in every sport. It's the teams that make moves and rally around them that succeed and become champions. Andrew Bynum has had a major injury in each of the last three years, and Kobe has severe knee and finger injuries, but they have found a way to come out on top. While the Celtics are a very good team, they aren't deep enough to deal with major injuries to key players.
- zackd2 - Jan 22, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Fact: Celtics are the only team to have injuries, ever.

Mistrial denied, juror dismissed in Jodi Arias trial
PHOENIX -- A motion for mistrial in the Jodi Arias trial was denied Tuesday, but a juror was released for improper conduct.
According to court documents, the unidentified Juror 5 made comments to other jurors that may bias the opinion of the other jurors. It was not specified what Juror 5 said.
The documents show that the comments were made on March 28, the same day that prosecutor Juan Martinez was accused of signing autographs and posing for pictures outside of the courthouse.
The defense offered the release of the juror in question as an alternative to mistrial.

Local school districts react to PED grades: Carlsbad schools 'better than grades reflect'
The report card is in and the grades are poor for several schools in the Carlsbad Municipal School District.Read more

no shock in any grades. Claudia Krause-Johnson should just leave the district. She has done nothing but pas the buck to someone else since getting here. Have you noticed it is always someone else to blame? Hello she is the reason kids had to leave Alta Vista last year, bad planing, and her thought that it is ok to let the kids learn in a building where removal is taking place is so not cool. She only removed the kids when parents and teachers stood up to her and demanded the kids protected. She did not have a plan and it is showing now. Come on Carlsbad how long do we allow a person to keep letting our kids fail. Parents take action, work with your kids, help them, be active in their lives, and make sure the teachers you expect the best from your kids and that you will help them! Demand good administration. As for Deborah Beard she is a blessing Pate is on it's way out of the doghouse that it has been for years. She cares for her teachers and kids and she will help them. It won't happen over night it takes time, but thankfully it wil happen. We need that same kind of administration and dedication at AV.
Take action Carlsbad, demand the best for our kids, but that means Parents need to step up and be there for their kids and help them and support good teachers, staff and administration and demand that the bad leave.
#2 Jan 13, 2012
with our union, we have the highest pay in the state. we teach and teach good. we have the best school board that stupidity can buy. you dont like it then give us a pay increase and we will up carlsbads grades to at least an c.
#3 Jan 13, 2012
educated teacher, for real, high pay does not make a quality teacher. Dedication, hard work, and ability makes a good teacher. We have many many good teachers in Carlsbad. We have some wonderful administrators as well. What we need is for the teachers to be able to teach for real and not teach how to pass a test. We need education back in the system not filling in test bubbles. We need administration wiling to cut the bad administrators and teachers and bring in the good. We could have wonderful schools if allowed.
#4 Jan 13, 2012
would you be willing to take a pay cut?$66,000 a year for a teacher who stays in meetings and take smoke breaks several times a day.

teachers should be payed according to dedication and ability and wiliness to learn, but this is not a perfect world.

Seems to me like the schools with the most minorities are doing the worst, maybe I'm just a racist, or maybe the minorities are ruining our educational system. If they could limit their reproducing to just two children maybe they could spend more time with them and better prepare them for school,just thought I'd throw that out there. A.Y.P. test show whites are doing above average in their studies,minorities are well below average and bringing down all of the students average. It is hard to teach a child that has very little parental motivation or involvement.

"an c" Where were you educated...Carlsbad? You don't even know how to capitalize the first word of a sentence, and you're asking for a raise? lol
#8 Jan 13, 2012
Well, geez Walter, my kids are half Mex & white. I HIGHLY doubt they are bringing their own selves down whatsoever. I have one of my younger half white/half mex kiddo is a 4.0, and my full white kiddo is 3.5. My other half and half child also has a 3.5 and my other one is lower because he has been in a lot of pain, but usually is a 3.8.
Actually, I think the schools fail because they want the kids to be older than what they are and they made a req. for K to do 1st grade work and so forth and they are just starting out to learn. I know of many kids that the work they give them stresses them out. I also think it adds to all of the stupid holidays and half days that take away from teaching all what they want the kids to know. I will never understand why a week for T-Day and 2 weeks for C-day. The kids have so much homework that even if an adult is going to school that is getting their degree to do better in life makes it hard for them to do their homework as well. How many Americans can honestly afford to find sitters for their kids because they have to work, or take off of work, lose money, and so forth? School has become ridiculous!

Well geez MLE1,you are part of the problem. A family is made up of a wife,husband,and the children,the children should all have the same father and mother. How distracting is it to try and raise children who all have a different parent? A true family was not meant to be made up from several different BROKEN families,this is why the school system is so messed up,it does start in the home,when children have no stability in their lives they tend to carry that over into their every day life,LIKE SCHOOL,than the parents who have screwed the family up are complaining saying that it is the system that is failing their poor lil illegitimate children. This is not an attack on you personally,I am just tired of the blame being passed to the system. I have been around children for the past 25 yrs,(coaching youth sports,hunter safety,etc)you can always pick out the children who come from broken homes. The children do not have a say in this matter ,it is ALL up to the parents,people find it too easy to just have a child with whom ever will sleep with them at the time, then move on to the next partner not once thinking about the children. What saddens me most is the parents do not get it,this has become the norm. It is wrong. Sorry if I pissed anyone off,but something has to change. This whole Country is falling apart and it can all be blamed on the system OR, WE CAN TAKE A LONG LOOK AT OUR STANDARDS , ETHICS ,MORALES and MOST IMPORTANT,OUR FAMILY VALUES. We live in a world where the motto is IF IT FEELS GOOD DO IT, IT CAN AND WILL BE JUSTIFIED,we can't continue to live like this. Again, sorry if it offends any of you, but I can't just sit back and say nothing any longer,it sickens me.
#10 Jan 14, 2012
Walter, I agree with you 100%. We are being dumbed down by all the illegals who are not required to learn English. We are becoming a Third World Country very rapidly.
#11 Jan 14, 2012
Sorry to interrupt your typing, MLE1, but we finished color-coding the parking lot as you requested. Now, half the fathers can park in the blue zone on odd weekends; most of the others in the yellow zone. Now where did you say you want the food-stamp kiosk?

Has anyone watched the movie IDIOCRACY lately? This will answer everyone's question on where we are all headed. For the Women, it has Luke Wilson in it. Like one poster stated we are all being dumbed down.

i too agree with Walter..........

First of all, sentences begin with capital letters. Second, we teach "well" (not good, although we might teach good if we teach our students to do good, however, I think you were trying to be facetitious). "Don't" does take an apostrophe. "Carlsbad's" (possessive) requires a capital "C" and an apostrophe (you use your pinky finger to the right of the semi-colon on the standard QWERTY keyboard).
Really? "An c"? I am shocked. You really want to criticize our teachers?

My kids all do NOT have different fathers. Just because a mother, father, and kids are all together does NOT mean it is NOT dysfunctional. Hell, fathers rape and molest their kids. And I WAS with their father. You make no sense whatsoever. I bet your kids hate you. You even teach your daughter that she doesnt have to follow the rules at school and byytch and complain when she is suspended for piercings that is not to be worn while in school. YOU coach??? I feel sorry for the kids. For all we know is that YOU can be a real POS to your own family and your wife is afraid to leave your pathetic, sorry asz. My kids DO have stability in their lives. I NEVER did whatever you are referring to concerning sleeping with one person, getting pregnant, and then going to the next as I have thought about my kids. I find it funnier as hell that you STILL say I have 4 different fathers to my kids when the last 3 are all twins. Oh gawd, you will FOREVER remain STUPID! lol. And for someone who is a coach that is suppose to teach honesty and so forth, you dont even put your real name up...what a loser you are. lol.
#19 Jan 16, 2012
hmmm, half the fathers?? who are half the fathers? I would like to know. Thanks. And let me know their names and see if you have it right and match on the birth certificates since somehow 2 sets of twins according to you have 4 different fathers each. hmmm, this will be interesting.
#20 Jan 16, 2012
The truth hurts. You do not know me,as far as my children ,they are happy and well adjusted people. Like I said sorry if I offended anyone ,but it is how I feel.You don't know my wife either, so don't try and act like you do. You are just upset because you've been figured out. Why did you wait until you had a litter of children to go to school? TO GET MORE MONEY ,you are the piece of shyte using your children to get more welfare .

Hi all!
I am planning a 10-day trip for the end of September/early October. My itinerary currently looks something like this:
Fly into Copenhagen and spend 2 days/2 nights there, then fly to Berlin and spend 2 days/2 nights there, fly to Brussels and take a train or bus to Bruges, spend the day and night in Bruges, then from Bruges I would like to spend a day and night in Luxembourg but am unsure of transportation. From Luxembourg I want to go to Geneva, then take the golden pass to Interlaken and spend the night there, then onto Lucerne for a night, then Fussen and Salzburg, then end in Vienna.
I realize this is ambitious, but I would really like to get a glimpse at all these places. I am not trying to see Brussels or Geneva, they are just ways to get to Bruges and Interlaken/Lucerne. Any advice on how to improve my itinerary and on traveling between cities would be greatly appreciated!
10 days in Europe - itinerary advice needed!
Hi all!

Too heavy for me to suggest anything except miss Luxembourg and go straight to Geneva. Why not take the overnight train from Bruges, you need as much time as possible to do all that you have planned.
Report Abuse
What you have outlined is a 2.5 to 3 week trip. You do not have 2 days anywhere - you have not allowed for travel times - and will have 1 or even a part of 1 day in each place.
Frankly this is a tour of the train stations and airports of europe - nothing more.
Report Abuse
I agree that this itinerary is much too ambitious.
Have you taken into account the time that you will spend checking out of your hotel, getting to your next destination, checking in, etc.?
I'd at least skip Luxembourg.
Report Abuse
Let me be subtle about this cr888, your plan sucks.
Let me ask you a question. What do you want to get out of your time? Is it to make the most of your time in terms of seeing/doing things or is it to check off as many names as you can?
The common phrase people use is 'I want to see as much as possible.' The operative word in that sentence is 'much'. The word 'much' is not synonymous with the word 'many'. But many people seem to confuse those two words when it comes to planning travel.
The way to see/do as 'much' as possible is to spend your time IN places, not in BETWEEN places. In travel, less is always more. Move less, see/do more.
With 10 days I would not suggest trying to visit more than 3 places including your arrival and departure points. It is of course your time to use wisely or waste as you wish.
Report Abuse
I agree, you haven't allowed for travel time, and that will be fatal to this itinerary unless you only want to set foot in these places so you can say you were there.
You can economize time between Copenhagen and Berlin by taking the night train, and I'd recommend it, as you have no time to spare. There's a direct train that leaves at 18:46 and gets in at 6:38.
Your flight from Berlin to Brussels will take half a day (at best) by the time you get to the airport, get checked in an hour or more ahead of your flight, fly, then get from the airport to Bruxelles-Midi station, where you will still have an hour on the train to Bruges. That's even if you get a very early flight. So you'll have only a half day (at best) and an evening in Bruges, and it will be time to leave.
It's 4.5 hours by fastest connection to Luxembourg, so once again, half a day gone.
From Luxembourg to Geneve, it's 7 hours by fastest routing with multiple train changes, and that's if you leave at 5:42 - an earlier start than I would make. With that early of a start, you should have time for the Golden Pass in daylight, but if you want to leave at a more reasonable hour - say 7:30 - you won't be in Geneva until 3:15, making that a dicier proposition.
Then you run into trouble getting to Fussen, since it's 5:50 between Luzern and Fussen. I assume your aim in going to Fussen is to see King Ludwig's castles, but I don't see that being possible when you aren't able to start until 1:00 or later (if you leave Luzern at 6:10 and skip lunch).
It's 4 hours to Salzburg, so once again, a bit less than half a day there.
Then 2.5 hours to Vienna.
I hope the problem has now become quite evident to you. You will be hard-pressed (or find it impossible) to see the major sights when you will have only half a day or less in places. And, you will be spending more than a third of your time in transit to other places. Moving around that much is also expensive. Is that much travel time and expense a good use of your precious vacation time and money?
I don't think skipping Luxembourg will fix your problems. I would drop Fussen, or else I would skip Vienna and fly home from Munich.
Report Abuse
Just to be clear, I would skip both Luxembourg and Fussen.
Or I would skip Bruges and Luxembourg.
Report Abuse
Glimpse is the right word!! Silly itinerary, and actually, why choose some of these places to "glimpse". Have you glimpsed other places in Europe? I'm feeling a tug here.
Report Abuse
Hi cr888,
mm - I think you'll have gathered that this gets the thumbs down from everyone here.
so let's be positive - what can we rescue from the ideas you've got?
first question - are your flights booked? if so, we'll need to work with flying into Copenhagen, and out of Vienna [presumably, but who knows with an itinerary like this?]
if not, 3 places [into one and out of another, with one place in between] would be the max I'd go for.
Report Abuse
Again and again a similar itinerary consultation pop ups. On one hand I appareciate the
Interest in traveling all over , visiting many places on the other hand I have to wonder
how difficult it seems for some travelers to prioritize .
May be it is our culture? ....lack of geography knowledge? .....
May be I am missing something ,in such a limited trip why would anyone be interested in spending one day and night in Luxemburg, no disrespect , but unless is something personal I cannot figure it out.
Although we live in a culture with so much technology at the tip of our hands it seems there is a lot of disconnection from reality.
Report Abuse
When you recalibrate everything - which you must do - you need to factor in that 1 night in a place doesn't equal 1 day, and 2 nights doesn't get you 2 days.
For instance your first stop in Copenhagen -- two nights. You will have a small part of one day that will be mostly eaten up by recovering from jet lag/transfers/checking in/just acclimating and an early night. Then you'll have the 2nd day free - but probably still tired.
Then your 'one day' in Bruges is really a couple of hours. You have to pack up, get to teh airport, check in early, fly to Brussels, train to Bruges, find your hotel -- and have time for dinner. That is about it.
So start over . . .

For train info - great sites IMO - www.seat61.com (great info on discounted tickets that however often must be booked weeks/months in advance to secure as they are sold in limited numbers and often cannot be rrefunded nor changed; www.ricksteves.com and www.siwsstravelsystem.com - even a few days in Switzerland can make a Swiss Pass or Swiss Card or Half-Off Card wortwhile (www.swisstravelsystem.com.

There are also overnight trains between Copenhagen and Berlin and Berlin and Brussels (or at least GermanY) to consider - saves time and the cost of a hotel - air takes a half-day minimum as janis points out - and if you threw those two train trips in a Eurail Select Saverpass may become more than cost effective and save if go allb by rail and not flying - unless you of course get some super-duper cheap flight.

++ Graziella5b! I am amazed how anyone can even consider doing 6 countries in 10 days. And many times the 10 days include the day they leave home to the day they return home. No offense cr888, you are most certainly not alone, but its like a broken record around here.
Report Abuse
I think it was far easier in some ways to plan a reasonable trip before the Internet, and when most people were educated to read maps (including scale, which is a concept that seems to have passed over at least a couple of generations), understand geography and, well, just READ.....guidebooks, travel histories, and the like. Everyone nowadays thinks they can just go online, book an airfare, and tool around like crazy to this place and that. We're not getting better at planning travel, we're getting worse and worse the more technology we have.
Back in the days when you pinned a huge map of Europe on your wall and put push-pins in to the places you wanted to travel to, and knew the scale of the map and the distances between them, and read the books that told you what there was to see there, and consulted Cook's train tables, it was actually a lot easier and more sensible. Now everyone wants to toodle around everywhere in a heartbeat, as though travel were like tweeting or texting and just moving from this place to that in a heartbeat.
Add to that the sad situation of education in America and it's a recipe for disaster. European and Asian kids have a far better grip on the realities of travel.
Report Abuse
and the echo St Cirq's salient IMO observations the plethora of travel options on trains and planes within Europe now makes it even more taxing - trying to pin down the cheapest train ticket which means it must be booked in stone months in advance - whereas before if you were traveling more than a few long trains some kind of railpass was the automatic panacea where you could hop on and off any train anytime - now in some key countries railpass holders need seat reservations before boarding and in France at least it may even be impossible many times to use a pass on TGV trains as passholder seats are strictly limited in number, etc.
Oh well just call me a Luddite but bring back simplicity!
Report Abuse
StCirq...I agree wholeheartedly.
New travelers would do themselves a huge favor by spending the $4.99 on a giant Europe Map and some pushpins, as their very first planning tool.
The planning phase for our three month trip around Europe involved a giant map and pushpins, colored highlighters and paper lists. Yes it sounds like a very antiquated way to plan, but it worked wonderfully.
Preliminary planning this way allowed me to see the groupings of places, the distances etc. The Loire and Dordogne were no longer just names in a book, they were an exact locations in France, relative to Paris. The Mosel and Rhine weren't just two rivers in Germany, they were a 1/2 day travel between them etc etc.
Without a real map to see these things you have no real perspective as to the distances and time involved to get from here to there. Here in the US we always hear how small the countries in Europe are and how you can pop between countries with ease, as if you were going from state to state here. I think this is taken the wrong way and many interpret it incorrectly: thinking you can hop from country to country in a matter of an hour or two.
The internet is an invaluable tool for planning, but only after you review a map and gain a real understanding of the distances involved.
Report Abuse
Well I am a semi-Luddite. But I find many online tools helpful - once you have an overall idea of the scope of a trip.
But agree you do need to start with a map, details on distances and travel times and some clue as to what you wnt to see/do in each place.
I think part of the problem is to people from a rural area or small town the concept of it taking 45 minutes or an hour to get from one side of a city to another is very foreign. They are used to hop in a car and be anywhere in 5 minutes. And if you haven;t flown - and are unfamiliar with the check-in, security, screening, waiting, landing, taxiing, treking through terminal, waiting for luggage, etc - you may think a 2 hour flight takes 2 hours - instead of 5 or 6.
I always reco people take a look at the Michelin green guides. Yes, they are dense and detailed (why I love them) but they also give you the time needed to see a sight - so you know it's 3 hours and not 30 minutes unless you just want to walk past the front.
Report Abuse
St.C. What a great comment. And I have often recommended "get a map and connect the dots" to posters. And what you described is exactly how we did our trips!! Trip down memory lane.
But now it IS fun to plan (realistically) with the internet--and guide books also.
Report Abuse
sadly it looks as if the OP has disappeared, never to benefit from our great advice!
Report Abuse
I agree, a Map ,the kind you can hold in your hand Not in your iPad or iPhone is the most wonderful and useful tool. All the rest that has been politely covered previously can be summarized : to enjoy your trip and to plan it successfully open your eyes , read, study , learn,get informed and add a little common sense... In doubt get some punctual help from Fodors forums. .Bon voyage.

Occupy Galway requested to leave Eyre Square
galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report Thursday March 08, 2012 14:42 by Tracy - Occupy Galway info at occupygalway dot org
This is a copy of an email sent to our supporters today, we are appealing for people to come down to the camp in Galway and show their solidarity, or to help in any way they feel they can.
Dear Supporters,
Comments (8 of 8)

The Galway advertiser had a substantial one sided post this week outlining the arguments as to why the occupy Galway should be removed from eyre square. I think the powers that be are worried that the movement may become a nexus for the household charge / sewerage tank / water charges / turf campaigns. Also the huge payout this month to german banks. They thought the cold winter would finish the movement off without action on their part, but now they are worried it will only learn and grow. They need to break this up before it's too late. They don't mind a march or a quick protest that's over quickly and forgotten but heaven forbid people have a central space where the public can come and go and chat about what is going on with other like minded and increasingly politically aware people on an ongoing basis gaining momentum. That concept is much more of a threat than an occasional protest that can be easily ignored.

The Galway camp is a growing and getting better. They have built a solid well organised camp in Eyre square. They aren't going away any time soon. Clearly In their case the opposite is true. They are growing not withering. A great bunch of people. No wonder the council are getting a little worried. Kudos to all involved.

text: Despite claims by the Obama administration that the Affordable Care Act will reduce health insurance companies' spending on overhead, thereby channeling a greater share of consumers' premium dollars into actual patient care, insurers' financial filings show the law had no impact on the percentage of insurer expenditures on such things as administration, marketing and profits. That's the chief finding of a team of researchers, including two prominent physicians on the faculties of the City University of New York's School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School, in an article published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Health Services. The ACA sets limits on insurers' overhead, mandating an MLR of at least 80 percent in small-group markets and 85 percent in the large group market. However, the Obama administration changed the traditional yardstick by which the MLR is measured.

South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) Board of Directors approve its fiscal year 2014 financial plan.
During its regular monthly meeting, the Board approved the SCPA's fiscal plan for the coming 12 months. From July 1 to June 30, capital spending of $123 million will fund major infrastructure investments such as the new container terminal at the former Navy Base, new equipment to handle the increased size of ships in the port as well as other upgrades to existing facilities.
The largest single area of spending is for the South Carolina Inland Port in Greer, SC, with $29.1 million planned to cover the remaining SCPA share of the project. The new facility is slated for a September 2013 opening.
"Our public seaport system is an economic engine, spurring opportunity all across South Carolina," said Bill Stern, chairman of the SCPA Board. "The inland port will further expand the port's connection to the Upstate and will drive job creation and investment to that region."
The financial plan also projects a nearly six percent increase in container volume on the strength of new, weekly services commencing this summer and increased volume from existing services.

Our Church Council President is Del Novell, a middle school teacher of industrial technology, who also serves as the athletic director for the Holbrook Middle School. Del's wife, Ginny Novell--herself a technology instructor at Holbrook High--serves very capably as our Treasurer. John May, a retired Navajo County sheriff's deputy, is our Vice President and his wife, Vivian May, a retired hospital administrator, is our Financial Secretary. Yolanda Canaday, mentioned above, serves as our Secretary. Jeff Eavenson brings his skills as a retired DPS officer, who is currently employed as a safety specialist at the APS Cholla Power Plant, to the table and Faryn Seal, volunteer-extraordinaire, uses her considerable talents in music, organization, decorating and more to assist our ministry in any number of ways. Caitlyn Keel directs our prayer ministry. Barbara Justman, another of our charter members, serves as our sacristan, making sure our chancel is ready-for-worship. Retired Anglican priest Bob Maxwell is always ready to fill-in as needed in any number of capacities.
All of our other members, as the need arises, step up-to-the-plate to provide leadership and assistance. We are family here at Peace--and all family members play an important part!
