Water, water everywhere – and difficult to get a drink!
High spring tide at Maldon – Yes, Hythe Quay is under there somewhere!
First Peter Phillips sent us this picture, which shows Thistle with some visitors stranded on board. Apparently the children enjoyed it, but the adults were not too keen.
Then The Barge Tearooms posted some pictures showing that it can be difficult sometimes to get a cup of tea on a barge!
Three great trailers for Simon North's premiere of the Centaur film
We've already posted about the Film Premiere on Saturday 7th March at Maldon Town Hall. What film? The premiere of Simon North's film of the Restoration of Centaur. Scroll down the page to see the poster for the performance giving all details of the Premiere which is in aid of the Thames Sailing Barge Trust.
Now Simon has produced three trailers for the film show, and, having seen them, each of them is a beautiful piece of art in its own right. Here are the three trailers, the first introducing the film:
the second when the Lottery grant was awarded:
and the third showing Tim Goldsack, the Master Shipwright, at work with tar and horse manure:
Now go along to Maldon Town Hall on 7th March and see the whole thing – Enjoy!
Tony Farnham presents picture to Cambria Trust
Off on the Ferry to Gravesend today for the Cambria Trust Annual General Meeting, held at the Port of London Authority headquarters at London River House. The Cambria Trust, of course, owns and maintains the sailing barge Cambria, renowned as the last UK registered vessel to trade under sail alone. A wooden Thames sailing barge, she still has no engine and is completely dependent on the wind.
The AGM was well attended, and it was good to see a number of people who had not met since last year's meeting. Chairman, Bruce Richardson, reported on a busy year with charters by Rotary International District 1120 and the Sea-Change Sailing Trust, both using the barge for sail training. Cambria had taken part in several of the annual barge matches, doing well, and had been at the Classic Boat Festival in St Katharine's Dock in September, where on several days she had welcomed 1,000 visitors.
A highlight of the day was the presentation to the Trust of a splendid framed picture of Cambria taking part in the Thames Match of 1936. The picture was a gift to the Trust from Tony and Sandy Farnham, and in handing it over Tony said that he hoped the picture would be installed on board the barge. Our picture shows Tony Farnham, right, presenting the picture to Bruce Richardson.

David Wood RIP
We were very sorry indeed to learn of the death of SSBR Committee Member, David Wood.
As well as being a long-term member of the Committee himself, David has been an enormous help to his wife, Elizabeth, in her office as our Chairman.
David has written a number of publications over the years, and members will recall that within the last few months they have received a copy of "Still in the Samphire", the 50th anniversary history of the Society, and of "The Prowess of Charlie Fielder". Both of these were written by David Wood, and he has put some considerable years of work into them. Elizabeth tells us that he was still researching and writing other material.
David died very suddenly on Friday 30th January 2015. He was alone at their Twickenham house while Elizabeth was at her family's home in Sussex. She was talking to David on the telephone, when suddenly she heard a noise, he stopped speaking and she could not raise him. She called a neighbour who went to the house, and discovered that David had suffered a heart attack which he did not survive. It has taken a long time for the post mortem to be held, and the death certificate has only just been issued.
The funeral is to be held next week. In accordance with David's own wishes it is to be a small low-key occasion for close friends and family. Donations in David's memory if desired may be sent to the Thames Sailing Barge Trust, c/o Roger Newlyn. Please contact us by e-mail if you need Roger's address. email@example.com
On behalf of the Committee and members of the Society, we send our most sincere sympathy to Elizabeth and her family.
Directions to find sb Will in her winter mooring
Geoff Robinson went to find and photograph sb Will yesterday, at South Quay, and, because it is a big area, had some trouble finding her. So he has kindly supplied the following directions which will be useful to anyone else on the same mission.
"First – many thanks for 'Where to See Sailing Barges' which I found interesting, informative and useful. I went up to South Quay, on the Docklands Light Railway today, specifically to find and photograph Will. It's a very large area and I only found her after a long search, so I offer the following for anyone else who wants to go up to see her. Whether you arrive at South Quay DLR from the City OR the Lewisham direction, turn left at the bottom of the stairs, walk forward to the road, and cross at the traffic lights. On the other side turn left again and almost immediately you will see on your right a dock basin with a moored vessel named (I think) Le Sorrell – walk a little further on, then turn right and go down the steps onto the quayside OPPOSITE that ship. Ahead of you the quay turns to the left – when you reach the corner you will see Will a couple of hundred yards away. Useful tip for photographers – when you reach Will you will note on your left a flight of stairs leading up to a closed building – the top of those stairs provides an excellent high viewpoint from which to take photographs!"

Marjorie sits on the Southend mud
Love this photo which was apparently taken at Southend-on-Sea Pier last August, (2014). SB Marjorie with her anchor sticking out of the good old Southend mud. The barges usually lie quite near the end of the pier, so this must be at low water, or as a wag on Facebook put it, "Must be high tide". These lads up to the knee in water will be a mile and a quarter from the shore. Thanks to TSBT for the photo.
Centaur film show in Maldon on 7 March
Lighterman Tom
Mike Dawson contacted our Facebook page to let us see this lovely old British Pathe film of Robert Layton singing "Lighterman Tom" in 1933. There are references to "Tilbury Town", (of great interest to me), and shots of Thames barges on the river. What a lovely old film!
A new chapter for Decima?
News today that sb Decima is up for sale. The Apollo Duck website has an advertisement from MJLewis Boatsales of Maldon offering the 1899-built Thames sailing barge for sale at £160,000.
Decima was built by FG Fay & Co of Southampton, being one of twenty identical steel barges built by the company for EJ Goldsmith's of Grays, who traded her until the late 1940s. The 67 ton, 85 foot barge's history includes ownership by Rayfields of Gravesend, and then Greenhithe Lighterage as a motor barge.
She was sold out of trade to Dennis Wildish in 1977 and he re-rigged her as a charter barge. In 1999 she was sold to Jeremy Taunton as a houseboat.
Master shipwright and well-known sailing barge restorer Tim Goldsack, her present owner, bought Decima in 2003 and started a major restoration. She was gutted and a substantial number of the hull and deck plates were replaced. She was given a new set of rigging and good second-hand sails. A new Gardner 6LXB engine was fitted. Decima has three cabins, with six berths, and central heating was installed when her owner lived aboard her for two years.
In July 2004 Decima set her sails for the first time in over 15 years, and has since been seen regularly around the East coast. She has recently been based at Heybridge Basin, and in 2010 Wilkin and Son Ltd of Tiptree, Essex, (the famous makers of jams, marmalades, and conserves), became her sponsors. Consequently the Tiptree logo has been displayed in her topsail.
According to the advertisement Decima is now at Faversham. Here's the link to the advertisement on the Apollo Duck website.
Thanks to the Decima website for the following interesting titbits from her history:-
"Things have not always run smoothly for Decima. She has had many mishaps in her long history. Most notably in 1938, during a severe gale, her crew abandoned her off Great Yarmouth, and she sailed herself across the North Sea to Holland! She was relatively unscathed, and was returned to England where she was repaired and returned to work. On November 17th 1940 she was swamped and sank whilst at anchor off Southend pier with a deck cargo of timber. She was re-floated, refitted, and once again was put back to work!"
New barge film project – about sb Victor
A new specially-produced video series has started on Shipping TV. Called "A year afloat with Victor", it will follow sb Victor during 2015, which marks her 120th year.
The first part, filmed on 14th January 2015, has just been published. It shows a trip for a group of RSPB birdwatchers who board at Harwich.
Here's the link to Part 1.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Investigates Lost Spent Fuel From U.S. Power Plant
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said last week that it is investigating the disappearance of two spent nuclear fuel rod segments from a nuclear power plant in Vermont (see GSN, June 4).
The NRC disclosed details of its investigation in a letter sent June 24 to U.S. Representative Edward Markey (D-Mass.). According to the commission, in mid-April the operator of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant reported that two spent fuel rod segments were missing from the plant's spent fuel pool. In May, the plant operator conducted a second underwater inspection of the plant's spent fuel pool, but still failed to finding the missing spent fuel pieces, the commission said.
As part of its own investigation into the incident, the NRC said that it would review the efforts by plant operator Entergy to locate the missing spent fuel pieces and determine whether Entergy is in full compliance with applicable regualtions. While noting that it is "premature" to speculate on the fate of the missing spent fuel pieces, the commission also said that it was "highly unlikely that the material in the public domain."
In a press statement yesterday, though, Markey criticized the NRC for failing to find the missing radioactive material.
"The NRC says it has no idea where the spent nuclear fuel is, but insists that it is safe, wherever it is. This sounds like a faith-based approach to nuclear security to me," Markey said in a press statement. "It is time for the NRC to crack down on those responsible for these materials, implement new security regulations and impose high penalties for those who don't comply," he added (see GSN, June 27, 2002; U.S. Representative Edward Markey release, June 28).

Track By Track: Keller Williams with More Than a Little- Funk
Keller Williams' new live record Funk marks his debut with More Than a Little, a new group featuring bassist EJ Shaw, keyboardist Gerard Johnson, drummer Toby Fairchild, and vocalists Tonya Lazenby Jackson and Sugah Davis. The group originated through Keller's connection to Fairchild, who played in one of his other many projects, the Added Bonus. "He was doing R&B on a Tuesday night once a week for a couple of months," Williams explains. "They got me onstage and we just melded— we definitely connected. Even on a one-chord groove, we didn't know what to play, so it was just an improv, but that one chord went into these small different realms of beauty."
Here Keller walks through Funk, track by track...
I Told You I Was Freaky
That's by Flight of the Conchords and it is just funny, white-boy funk with a dance groove. I started covering it and slowing it down. I've always had this freaky thing in my music, whether it was calling my first record Freek or the song "Freeker by the Speaker" that came later. The word "freak" has always
followed me around a little bit. The song is hilarious, and I feel it sets the tone for the record that we mean business—the business of having fun.
More Than a Little
More than a Little" is an older tune that came out on my Loop record many years ago [2001]. This was the first song that More Than a Little played together as a band, and it clicked right from the get-go. It's a great tune to warm up on and get everyone ready for the night.
Right Here
"Right Here" is more of a recent tune. It's the one I taught to the band and they taught back to me in a different formula—that being the gospel/R&B formula. It's got a fun chorus that people really connect with, especially when they hear it for the first time. I really love the gospel breakdown at the end.
Once in a Lifetime
During Stop Making Sense, the movie, you really got to see how powerful backup singers can be. I made a point to make sure that the singers in my band aren't in the back—they are in the front right next to me. They are "upfront singers." That's what I like to call them.
Mary Jane
[As they say on Chappelle's Show], "That's Rick James, bitch!" It was one of those songs in rehearsals where I was like, "You know that one?" And the band was like, "Oh yeah!" They showed me the chords and the bridge and everything. They really took over from there. It really showcases the upfront singers.
West L.A. Fadeaway
Obviously, the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia are a huge influence on me. I wanted to avoid doing full-on Jerry [Garcia Band] songs that have the backup singers prominent. I can just sing the backup singers' parts from so many Jerry Band shows. The opening lick gets people. The Deadheads stand out for sure when that opening lick hits.
I Feel Love
When Donna Summer died [in 2012], there were a lot of Donna Summer songs that resurfaced. That was one that really grabbed me. The original is so trippy and gets really psychedelic and interesting. It has a super positive melody—a positive sexy song. I needed some disco in the set.
"B.I.T.C.H" means, "Being in Total Control of Herself." The saying came from Gaye Adegbalola, who is name-dropped in the song many times. She was the singer/guitar player for the blues trio Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women. She was also a teacher in my high school. A live version of her song "Bitch with a Bad Attitude" from [Vienna, Va.'s] Wolf Trap appears on a record [Live & Uppity], and she does this big breakdown about "bitch means being in total control of herself." I just kind of lifted that line and quoted her in the song. I made up the song on the way to the studio one time listening to Shade 45, which is the hip-hop channel on SiriusXM. I kind of just made it up when I got there, transposing it over to this funk band. I get to use the Kaossilator—a touch-screen, handheld synthesizer that I can use to adjust the key, scale and tempo of the delays. With the right grooves, there are no wrong notes. That gets a little bit of play on that song.
Samson's Wine
"Samson's Wine" is two songs: [The Grateful Dead-popularized] "Samson and Delilah" and Danny Barnes' "Wine." Danny Barnes is one of the unsung heroes and one of America's jewels when it comes to songwriters. He's a huge inspiration to me, in terms of his songwriting and how he goes about it. He's completely sober yet he can write catchy songs with lyrics that talk about an eightball and a jug of wine. It's really fun to sing about those eight-balls and jugs of wine. Somehow that morphs into a gospel version of "Samson and Delilah." It's a super fun way to spend your time on stage with these beautiful people.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Loved the whole place. Hot tub was fantastic.
Was an amazing holiday and the place we stayed was incredible just wish the weather had been a bit nicer and we had booked for longer. Will 100% be going back there again soon
We had the most amazing break staying in the Fisherman's cottage. Will be looking to book to stay here again, such a beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.
Will definately be back! Lovely lodge, perfect setting, loads of walks for our spaniel :)
This was the 3rd time we'd stayed here and can honestly say it was the worse time. My daughter was playing on the floor in the living room when we arrived and I relised that it was covered in dog hair - we don't have a dog, so within 10 mins of arriving I had to Hoover - not a relaxing time away I had hoped for! The shower in the main bathroom ran cold - we called someone out to be told that we were Turing it the wrong way - oh that makes sense!! In my opinion (for what it counts) try going back to basics and focus on quality not quantity as this is in no way a 5star park.
2nd visit to this park and recommended to friends and family. Total relaxation with the added bonus of having a lovely cafe on site and wonderful food.
Lovely break away in beautiful lodges in beautiful settings, lots of local shops and things to do great break away.
Great stay , lovely lodge and brilliant location . Only criticism is that the lodge is meant for six people and its a struggle to get six into the hot tub !
We loved our time at ribblesdale park and will definitely be staying again. One thing i would like reviewed is the time at night we must turn off music etc, 10pm on a Friday/Saturday seemed a little early although it wasn't a huge problem
Fantastic cabin with first class facilities.
Outside scenery not very picturesque
Need a reception area
Didn't see many staff- think the hot tub had far too much chlorine in, three of us came out in a rash after using and we have all used hot tubs before and had no problems. Found the numerous lists of 'rules' to be a bit overwhelming, and did prevent full enjoyment of our break as we were on constant worry of breaking a rule!! I think one list would be enough, don't think they need to repeated everywhere!! Lodge was spacious and clean, well maintained. Park was small but peaceful.
very chilled and relaxing holiday. Some nice walks and dog friendly .
Lovely grounds very peaceful get away. Great cafe on site that does great food, can be a bit pricey but worth it.

looking for wood witch pattern
I went to craft show in the beginning of the month. I saw a witch that I wish I had bought but didn't. I don't have any idea what the name of the vendor was or where she was from. I have looked all over for a pattern and can't find one. The witch stood around 4' tall and was made from narrow boards. She was all black and had a little box that was in front of her with a short electric candle in it. On the front was painted "Welcome My Pretties"
I have been to several other shows since and can't find one. If anybody knows where I could find a pattern I would love it. Thanks to everyone.
My Dh does a lot of woodworking and gets several catologues. In yesterdays mail there was a "Winfields" cat and I just thumbed through it, and it had a lot of halloween patterns, some witches, but I don't remember which specific ones. He took the cat out to his shop, so it isn't handy for me to look at, but you might check it. They did have a lot of the silloute patterns, I do remember. Hope you find what you are looking for. I am forever more wishing that I had bought something and go back to get it and it is gone, so I can relate to your fustration. Janet
I've given this some thought and while I have quite a few patterns for Halloween, can't think of a one like what you are describing. You might try posting this question over on the Decorative and Tole painting forum, most of those ladies have tons of books and patterns, maybe they know of one like you want. Good luck in your search--I've passed things up many times too--then wished I hadn't just like you did. ;o(
Try the patterns on this site. There is one that says welcome my pretties, and another one that looks more like what you described. I just googled wood craft witch patterns to see what I could find for you. Luvs
Here is a link that might be useful:
Fisrt of all, sorry I haven't replied sooner, getting ready for a big Christmas show next week. I have looked at Winfields, although they have alot of patterns, they don't have the one I was looking for. I have googled, and googled but haven't come across this particular pattern. Thanks to all, and Luvs, I'll continue my search and if I don't find it hopefully I'll be able to get one next year.

Weekly Chart Notes: Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson
By Gary Trust
'NEWS' REPORT: After two days of radio airplay, Michael Jackson's "Breaking News" scores a No. 1 Billboard ranking.
The controversial preview track from "Michael," due Dec. 14, debuts atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs' Bubbling Under chart, which showcases the top 25 titles that have yet to reach the 100-position R&B/Hip-Hop Songs survey.
"Breaking News" logged 1.1 million impressions on 52 R&B/hip-hop stations after just two days of airplay, according to Nielsen BDS. Among all stations monitored by BDS, "Breaking News" registered 302 plays on 177 stations, amounting to an audience of 2.6 million, since its arrival Monday (Nov. 8).
Despite its rising chart status, "Breaking News" logged 94% of its two-day audience among R&B/Hip-Hop Songs panelists in its first day of availability. Fifty R&B/hip-hop stations played the song Monday, but just four programmed it Tuesday.
Adult R&B reporter WBLS/New York spun "Breaking News" once Monday. "Listeners seemed to think that 'Breaking News' sounds 'unfinished' and is not a representation of the level of perfection that Michael sought in his music," says WBLS program director Skip Dillard.
"Many listeners who responded asked to hear other tracks and said that they'll be interested to hear what else is on the upcoming album."
NEWS REPORT: In addition to Michael Jackson's "Breaking News," another News makes R&B/hip-hop news.
Huey Lewis & the News make their first visit to R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, as "Soulsville" arrives at No. 18. The set includes covers of classics by Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and the Staple Singers.
The album enters the Billboard 200 at No. 121, marking the group's highest-charting collection of new recordings since 1994.
IT'S A MIRACLE: Smokey Robinson makes his first appearance on Dance/Club Play Songs since "Tell Me Tomorrow" reached No. 53 in 1982, as "Love Bath" bows at No. 50. The new song is the legendary singer's third to reach the list. He first charted with the No. 16-peaking "Theme From Big Time," from the movie starring Jayne Kennedy, in 1977.
Robinson charts his 22nd album on the Billboard 200, as the Cracker Barrel-exclusive "Now and Then" retrospective starts at No. 131. Robinson first graced the chart when "The Fabulous Miracles" debuted June 8, 1963, eventually peaking at No. 118. His solo debut, "Smokey," reached No. 70 in 1973.
CHART BEAT BITS: Ricky Martin returns to the Hot 100, as "Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tu/The Best Thing About Me Is You," featuring Natalia Jimenez on the Spanish version and Joss Stone on the English version, debuts at No. 74. Martin had last charted with "Tu Recuerdo, featuring La Mari De Chambao Y Tommy Torres, in 2006 (No. 89). Martin is set to release his first studio album since 2006 early next year ...
Robert Plant notches his first No. 1 on the Triple A adult alternative airplay tally, as "Angel Dance" ascends 2-1. The iconic Led Zeppelin singer/songwriter/guitarist previously peaked as high as No. 2 with the Alison Krauss-assisted "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)" in 2007 ...
Metal monopolizes the top of the Top Music Video Sales chart, as "The Big 4" opens at No. 1. The release captures Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax at the June 22 Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria ...
Cake collects its first Alternative Songs top 10 since "Short Skirt / Long Jacket" reached No. 7 in 2001, as "Sick of You" rises 11-9. The group's fourth top 10 - "The Distance" climbed to No. 4 in 1996 and "Never There" spent three weeks at No. 1 in 1998 - previews "Showroom of Compassion," the band's first studio album since 2004, due Jan. 11 ...
At No. 175, "The 99 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces" becomes the 11th title in the X5 label's "99 Most Essential" series to impact the Billboard 200 since January 2009. Previous editions paid tribute to the works of Beethoven (No. 29) and Mozart (No. 34). With the yuletide album nearly six hours long, simply pressing play on the collection Christmas morning could allow one to concentrate on more pressing matters, such as shaking and unwrapping gifts. (With any luck, the set will run out long before all the presents are opened).

I'm maintaining a perl script which runs an automated install of our base server software. One of the new requirements is to install the Inline::Java module.
Our usual strategy of installing using Yum seems to fall down as there's no Inline::Java available in yum. I can't find an RPM release for it so can't install as an RPM. The only options seem to be installing through CPAN or shipping the tar and having a step which identifies the SDK location and runs 'perl Makefile.PL J2SDK=; make; make install'.
Instinctually I think that's a little shaky for an automated install, I've had problems with CPAN installs failing in the past and I don't really want to have to make on a live server, but I can't think of a better option.
The other option I considered was just shipping the .pm file, placing it in a user defined directory and using 'use lib' to define that as a location but due to the way Inline::Java works I don't think this is possible, it needs the location of the InlineJavaServer and such too.
Does anyone have a better solution or an opinion on which of the ones proposed above is the best?

Some of The Lowest Air Fares in The U.S. Can Be Found in SoCal
Jet Blue / Facebook
If you're tired of L.A. constantly having the some of the highest gas prices in the nation, there's a small consolation.
If you're the flying type, the area also has some of the most affordable air fares in the entire U.S. of A. That according to a U.S. Department of Transportation domestic air fare survey released this month:
Long Beach Airport ranked as second in terms of being a big-city hub with some of the most-affordable air fares in the nation.
It was beaten out only by Atlantic City. It bested Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, and Orlando. Not bad.
And, with Memorial Day Weekend -- and all the fume-spewing traffic it brings -- just a few days a way, you might want to consider the cost of driving. On your sanity.
We'd put the blame for Long Beach's low fares squarely on its signature carrier, Jet Blue. We looked up a weekend trip to the New York area next month and came up with a couple options starting at $265 one way.
Not bad.

One Hundred Tales For Ten Thousand Buddhas
Journey to the Further Shore
Ma Prem Ritambhara
is widely travelled and is the talented daughter and associate of the well known Tarot Card Reader, Ma Prem Usha. Ma Usha has been writing columns over the years for leading periodicals and web sites. Ritambhara has received training from her and has been assisting her in all her work. Ritambhara has been reading Tarot cards professionally in Mumbai, Pune, Zurich and New Delhi for the last seven years and continues to do so from her studio at the Taj Mansingh Hotel, New Delhi.
There is no need for any hope and there is no need to feel hopeless. Live here now. Life is tremendously blissful, it is showering here and you are looking somewhere else, says Osho, the Zen master.
(March 21 - April 20)
You become aware, change focus and gain perspective by being totally in the present moment, with no future ambition but a burning passion for what is happening now. A personal relationship flowers into a nourishing partnership. Be available to whatever comes in life, experience it, learn from it, have a good laugh and carry on. Changes lead to expansion, travel and success. Take alternation of mood, gain and loss and ups and downs in your stride. Beware of an industrious yet unreliable person in the work area. You go through a gamut of experience and change in emotional relationships. Remain centered through it all by witnessing rather than participating in arguments or conflicts. End of the month brings positive attitudes and appreciation. Schedules and patterns are revised and prove to be for the better. Finances, health and earthy details need your attention at this time. Lucky number is 2. Good colour is sea green.
(April 21 May 21)
You draw your own card in the Tarot pack titled 'The Hierophant' this month. You are earthy, practical and grounded in professional and business matters while being emotional and spiritual in personal relationships and inner aspects. You are likely to be inspired by divine wisdom and intuition to make certain decisions and move in different directions. You are appreciated and rewarded for your strength, endurance and persistence in business ventures. In professional conflicts you can expect support of people in power and authority. You organize and manage finances, people and details with patience and care this month. You can expect a peaceful time when meditation and introspection reveal many a truth about yourself and others. Another Taurus person gives you good counsel. Health and finances need to be conserved. You make an impact in creative or earthy fields of activity. Lucky number is 5. Good colours are earthy browns.
(May 22 - June 21)
You are able to let go the past with all its personal baggage and professional attachments to make a new beginning this month! Disruption in business may cause some anxiety but also teaches you an important lesson. You recognize that something is completed, it could be a job, assignment, or a relationship that you identified with and have to bid farewell to. It's best to flow into the new current for the future, allowing sadness but not clinging on. No point in looking back as you have already turned the corner and new dimensions are waiting to be discovered. Avoid being lazy and laid back as temporary gain or success needs to be followed up with hard work and dedication! A wandering visit or journey to visit friends or family around the end of the month is on the cards. Lucky number is 8. Good colour is forest green.
(June22 - July 22)
You are greeted this month with two golden Cups full of light, lotus blossoms and happiness! Beware of dissipation and waste. It's best not to allow emotions to come in the way of professional decisions and business matters or you make a bad move. When you find yourself in a dilemma listen to your heart and intuition rather than the head to arrive at the right choice. Personal and professional partnerships or collaborations have a creative and supportive quality that brings gain and satisfaction. You finally realize that being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Your loving and romantic friendship blossoms into maturity that instigates a natural and easy flow of energy between the two while retaining each one's individuality. Mood swings and sensitive moments need to be watched with awareness, especially as you come to the end of the month. Lucky number is 2. Good colour is rose pink.
(July 23 - August 23)
'The Priestess' makes you aware of your inner voice, which speaks, in the wordless language of the heart. It's time to trust your intuition, your feelings and make a promise in the moment, to yourself, and the other, in love. A combined or collaborated effort in the work area is amazing and brilliant, as you learn to flow with others in creativity, rising above the mundane, breaking through laid down patterns and rules. Yin (receptive) and Yang (dynamic) energies are finely tuned and balanced to manifest your creative potential. The glow of the full moon this month infuses a cool, soothing relaxed and romantic aroma in your life. Some increase and decrease in finances and business activity may be expected before you arrive at a stable position. You are happy at home and successful at work during this satisfying and interesting month. Lucky number is 2. Good colour is sky blue.
(August 24- September 23)
You maintain your position of power and financial security this month as business and professional situations stabilize. Personal relationships are invaluable. Spend time with friends that you have been ignoring for some time. Turn inwards to connect with your inner beauty and bliss. You need not create a fortress around you and cling to possessions gathered over the years. It's clean up time; let go of things, ideas and relationships you have been clinging to; they have become meaningless and restricting. Loosen your grip and share yourself and your treasure, with others to feel the expansion and freedom that sharing brings. You and your innermost being are more important than any earthy treasure you possess. Focus not on a beautiful home but a beautiful you, not money but a rich you, not many things but an open being available to millions of things. Lucky number is 4. Good colour is orange.
(September 24 - October 23)
You are ripe and ready to share inner richness and energy wherever you are and whatever, you are doing. You share wisdom and creativity in work, love in relationships and spontaneity in everyday experiences. This is just the right time to create something new with your past experience and new vision. This is a blissful and relaxing time when you receive some tender, loving care from a special friend. Triangularsituations are likely to develop this month as you work closely with two others and handle three aspects of your work efficiently. You are ready to make positive changes in professional and personal aspects while attitudes are transformed. Gather courage and enter into your inner being with trust and awareness for blessings of the divine to shower upon you. Love and compassion flow naturally from you, especially with the appearance of the full moon this month. Lucky number is 9. Good colours are reds.
(October 24 - November 22)
'The Chariot' takes you through difficult professional situations towards success and victory this month. You are individualistic and brilliant while handling business ventures and collaborations. You get a well-deserved promotion or a position of power is likely to be assigned to you. Personal relationships are once again rejuvenated with love and romance after a low period. You make plans for a brief vacation with children and family to spend quality time with them. You consider a residential change or redecorate the home to infuse fresh energy and ambiance. Spending some time in natural surroundings by yourself and meditating can be therapeutic. Trust and go with the flow rather than swim against it as life is taking you where it has to. Full Moon this month brings movement, change and progress in every aspect. A Cancerian is a strong ally at this point. Lucky number is 7. Good colour is royal blue.
(November 23 - December 23)
'The Prince of Pentacles' infuses youthful energy in practical details and financial matters this month. You are persistent and authoritative while resolving complicated professional situations that arise unexpectedly. You manage business projects and new opportunities with speed and competence. You could be resentful of spiritual and emotional people, as you have to be practical and realistic. You are slow to anger in family situations but implacable if aroused. A son or a young man close to you is ready to embark on an independent professional journey and seeks your blessings. You are blessed with good health to indulge in sporty pastimes and busy schedules. Rise above the mundane so that you may aspire to higher levels of consciousness. The appearance of the full moon this month is a time of endings and new beginnings as you move into the new current towards progress and satisfaction. Lucky number is 15. Good colour is rusty red.
(December 24 - January 20)
You are ambitious and ready to achieve professional goals and targets this month! Since you are moody and tend to swing to extremes it's best to remain light and playful rather than heavy and serious to achieve success and goodwill. Negative forces and destructive people can block creative ventures so keep them at bay with diplomacy and tact. A new person at work can be autocratic in the work area. Your social life can be busy and scintillating if you are receptive to new people and connections. Spiritual pursuit and meditation can be rewarding. You grow and transform as you pass through a touching emotional experience with your partner. Beware of a clever person in the family who involves you in an argument and repeats your remarks out of context. A short break with a loved one from routines and patterns is rejuvenating this month. Lucky number is 15. Good colour is chocolate brown.
(January 21 - February 19)
You stand in the doorway trying to make an important decision during full moon this month. It's difficult to choose your path as you over analyze both sides of every situation. It's best to listen to your good judgment rather than be manipulated by others. Once you are in touch with your inner self there is clarity of vision and you can perceive the difference between dream and reality. After looking at who and what is meaningful you make decisions and take a step towards the new current for the future! Personal issues and relationships are at the brink of an important change, be aware. Professional opportunities and options are to be weighed and considered before a clear decision can be taken. You can no longer be diplomatic or juggle around with different aspects but need to face situations squarely with courage and clarity. Lucky number is 20. Good colour is royal blue.
(February 20 - March 20)
Commercial transactions and business deals can be concluded effectively at this point. Your boss or superior might be seeking impossible goals and you need to apprise him of the real situation. Travel is on the cards! Money matters take priority, as unexpected expenditure may have to be met. It's time to listen to your inner guide rather than the many voices that influence you from the outside. Your inner guide or witnessing self takes you deep within yourself and brings you face to face with your dharma. The truth of your inner being is showing you the new path that is opening up before you! You can trust this silent inner voice of understanding and move towards the right path of benediction, creativity, love and harmony. The full moon this month illuminates your future direction and leads you towards freedom and growth. Lucky number is 3. Good colour is rose pink.

Behind Closed Doors
Junior Comes Out Perfect
Published: September 29, 1996
(Page 3 of 3)
Genetic discoveries already underscore old prejudices and create new ones. As news reports were hailing the mapping and sequencing of the first genes implicated in breast cancer, women from high-risk families were discovering that the new ability to test had devastating consequences: many who carry abnormal genes at the pertinent loci have found that some insurance companies will not cover prophylactic mastectomies, that insurance coverage abruptly stops, that employers dismiss them. Genetic discrimination has already begun, and it is likely to become more extensive unless measures are taken to protect people whose draw in the genetic lottery has been unlucky. Several states have passed legislation to limit genetic discrimination, but these are only timid and hesitant first steps. Universal health coverage is necessary to protect the 5 to 10 percent of the population who will find themselves uninsurable because of accidents in conception.
Far more is required to insure that the reproductive choices made in 2096 are free from harsh constraints. Children born with genetic disabilities not only need the same access to health care and employment as other members of their society; they also need special support that will enable them to realize their potential. Unless prospective parents can rely on tolerance and respect for those who are different, unless they are assured that their community will do what it can to aid the disabled, then the pressure to view reproduction as a process in which the ''right'' products are stamped with social approval and the ''wrong'' ones discarded will be irresistible.
Baby K will surely exist. The pressing question is: How many Baby K's will there be? In the gloomiest vision of the future, the parents of Baby K are simply privileged members of a callous society. They have access to sophisticated medical testing and the results do not pose any hard choices for them. As middle-class citizens, well-educated and comfortable, they take the standard course of finding out if the fetus is ''defective.'' Their child's place in the meritocracy depends on their doing all they can to produce a ''perfect'' baby -- and, luckily, they receive good news.
Economic and genetic differences amplify each other, reinforcing pressure on the affluent to produce only ''genetically correct'' children. As long as there is a wide difference in social and economic status between those who succeed by the prevailing standards and those who do not, many middle-class parents will feel compelled only to have children who satisfy the genetic requirements for success. At the other social extreme will be people whose genetic misfortunes doom them to unemployment, the people with disabilities whose lives are cramped by inadequate support, those whose limited insurance coverage or minimal education denies them the chance to benefit from the new preventive medicines. Some genetic disabilities, virtually eliminated in the middle class, will persist at significant frequency in this segment of the population, but because they lack any powerful constituency, the disabled will find that services to help them are underfinanced. If we simply extrapolate from today's social attitudes, from the growing inequality between rich and poor, from the merciless individualism and competitiveness characteristic of most affluent societies, it is not farfetched to predict that the medical practices of 2096 will follow suit. Socioeconomic inequalities will turn victims of the quirks of conception into a true genetic underclass.
There are brighter possible futures. The K's might come from any stratum of society, from any ethnic group: the resources of preventive medicine would be available to all. Inhabiting a more egalitarian society -- in which people with many different characteristics are valued and have productive lives, in which the highly educated surgeon and the manual laborer do not inhabit different economic and social spheres -- the K's do not have to measure their child against a standard of ''genetic correctness.'' As they await the detailed report from their doctor, they know that if the news is less than exceptional, they will face a genuine choice: government and community support will help them do the best for their child; prejudice will not sharply constrain the life of a child who is different from the majority.
This future is not beyond reach. In recent years, some Mediterranean countries have shown that it is possible to combat thalassemia while retaining a compassionate attitude toward those who are afflicted with it. The incidence of the disease has declined in Sardinia and Cyprus, but those Governments have continued to invest heavily in treatment and support for sufferers so that the crucial blood transfusions that are needed are now much more widely available than before. These countries point a way forward. Prenatal testing need not be a substitute for the costly business of nurturing those born with diseases and disabilities: it can be part of a comprehensive community investment in all citizens.
It is not easy, of course, to extend policies that work for small, homogeneous societies to a large, multiethnic nation. But that is the challenge. The tools for probing the human genome give us the responsibility of deciding how much to learn about embryonic lives and what to do with that knowledge. The medicine of the future will be a vivid portrait of our social priorities. The character of our choices will be measured by the number of people who will live the fortunate story of Baby K.

New Hastings Bridge to include tributes to city's history
HASTINGS - The new Hastings bridge is being designed to make a bold, modern statement about Hastings. But it will also be a tribute to the city's history.
One such way it will look back is through its railings. Built into the railings will be 12 medallions, or metal circles with designs cut into them. Three designs have been proposed: images of the Spiral Bridge, the existing bridge and Hastings City Hall.

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
Ninety US soldiers have died since President Bush announced his plan to escalate the war in Iraq on January 10.
There's been a lot of talk about how Congress can challenge Bush's policy. Yet so far it's done nothing. It took the Senate almost a month to agree on what the non-binding resolution--essentially a nifty piece of PR--should look like. Then Republicans decided to use every trick in the Senatorial handbook to prevent the debate, which they once decried as meaningless, from occurring.
Now the House says it will debate the war next week. Why didn't it take the lead in the first place? Directly after the State of the Union address, the House could've expressed its disapproval of the President's policy. The Senate, with its complicated rules, presidential candidates and penchant for bloviation, could have followed whenever it got its act together. But the message would have been clear: Congress does not support the President's war any more.
The passage of the resolution was supposed to lay the groundwork, Democratic leaders argued, for the more substantive battle over the funding of the war. Now the resolution has become a distraction. Democrats were not elected to voice opposition to the escalation; they were put in office to at least try to end the war. "This is not a time to finesse the situation," says Senator Russ Feingold. "This is not a time for a slow walk."
Can Congress walk, even slowly, and chew gum at the same time?

"Very chic! I received multiple compliments about this shoe! They do run a bit narrow and I kind of felt that towards the end of the day but I wasn't horribly uncomfortable and imagine they'll stretch out some with continued use."

Great flats but need to be broken in...
"Great pair of leopard flats. Print does not look "cheap" as some leopard prints do. However, shoes are a bit stiff. I think they will become more comfortable once broken in. I have a narrow foot. These fit slightly loose on my foot but not uncomfortably so."

"I love these shoes. They are classy and stylish at the same time. They are excellent quality, very comfortable and look great with jeans and tights. I love them and would definitely recommend these to a friend or other buyers."

20 Ways to Shorten a URL
If you need to shorten a long URL try this list of 20 free online redirection services.
A URL shortener is a way to make a long Web address (URL - Uniform Resource Locator) shorter. URL shortening services are online tools and services that allow you to provide a long URL to a specific webpage and obtain a much shorter URL from the service provider.
How Does it Work?
A URL shortener works because of a Web server function called a "Redirect" (URL redirection). Basically the new URL (the short URL) will redirect users to the old URL (your long URL).

sump pump question
We bought our house 1 year ago and there are 2 sump pumps in the basement. It has stayed dry and we are now thinking about finishing the basement. We should probably add battery back up to our sump pumps and I wondered what sort of professional to call... a plumber?
A neighbour up the street uses a generator backup, which also provides electricty for other vital home systems. He also keeps a spare pump just in case. (The odd thing is I built and lived in the home next to him and there was never any water problem there. The home he recently moved from is next to my current home that I also built and live in; he had water problems, I don't. Those undergound streams surely are selective.)
Is there 2 sump pumps because 1 sump pump can't handle the load of the water. If this is the case than a battery backup pump may not be able to handle the amount of water that comes into the basement. I would prefer the generator over the battery back-up if the water is too much for one pump to handle. Some great battery back-up systems can be found at www.basementsystems.com
You can also buy them at a local hardware store ie Lowes, Home Depot if you want to diy.

From the Higgs Boson Particle to Leadbelly 194

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
On a related note, why does the "after" filename contain the word RIAA? What the hell do they have to do with this? The Library of Congress recordings were made by Alan Lomax (another great american folk singer), somewhere around 1940. If the RIAA gets to make money off this, I think I'm going to be sick. Though actually, now that I think about it, I believe the RIAA has some "standards" for music formats. Hopefully that's all this is.
Like all technology, this will surely improve. And, as it does, those digital pictures can be "replayed" again and again - even after the original source has decayed to a puddle of jelly.
But I am curious -- there is a 4-5Hz broadband undulation in the result signal which does not, but I could be mistaken, sound like motor noise from the original disc recording. The undulating noise sounds like a digital artfact. Perhaps this noise relates to the digital filters used to process the images?

Need guidence-1st time mobile home to be owner
I hope I can get some good advice here, and or direction.
I am looking at buying a mobile home (older home).
* I have a bankruptcy on my record and no other current debts of any kind.
* Due to the recession (so some call it that), this is probably the best time for someone looking to buy, to get in!
* I am looking for a 1-2 bedroom mobile that allows pets (2 small dogs).
I am told by some people that many lenders will not loan on mobile homes, BUT by the same token, those wanting out of their mobiles are either stuck or they will carry a note for you. Has anyone had this experience? If I cannot find a lender, and I find homes sold by the present owners, is carrying a note a possibility? I know of car lots that will do that with used cars.
I am 49 years old. The nicer parks are 55+. I was told by a Realtor that the only way I can get into the 55 and over park is to put my mother's name on the paperwork, which I would be willing to do. The homes I am finding seem to be in the age criteria of 55+ . The homes are moderately priced right now and I have a fairly good down payment. The current place I live at is a rental of over 14 years, though not on any credit report because I found it through a private party.
Any advice, pointers on the above are appreciated.
I think the first thing I would look at is this 55 and older situation. You should know for sure how aggessive a particular park is about enforcing the rule. If you got in there and they filed an eviction/lawsuit to remove you, would you be willing and have the resources to fight it in court? This is a possibility and it depends on the particular park.
You probably could get financing from an owner who is desparate to sell. In fact you might get a good deal this way. If you ever got to this point I would suggest that you definitley pay an attorney for an hour's work to give you advice on the loan and closing documents.
Good advice about the 55+ situation...Every park I've visited are very strict about those rules....I have a friend, under 55 but is married to an older fellow and if anything happens to him, she will have to leave her park....Depending on where you are, there are all age parks....
I don't know if you have made any moves to buy yet but I'd suggest you hold out for awhile yet. The market has just started coming down and will keep coming down depending on where you are. Try "Green Tree" as a lender. Try seeing if the loan the sellers have is assumable. Try a contract but ALWAYS see a lawyer when doing such things.
Good luck in whatever you decide!

got a little snap happy.......................
with the camera this afternoon!!!!! A lot of things are blooming so I had to take some pictures!!!
acuta "Borneo" i'm pretty sure this is not an accurate ID for this hoya but it's how it came labeled to me so it'll stay as such until I can find out more about it.
Hoya benguetensis, one of my favorites. I love the burnt orange color of the corollas with that contrasting raspberry corona!!!!
This is H. bicknellii. I've been trying to get a half way decent pic of it now for about a month and finally got one that will work!!
this one's a little better!! This one has proven to be a bit tricky to photograph for me.
This is one of several clones of H. flavida that I grow. This one came from Asiatica Nursery. The others came from D.L> with IML #'s and collection data.This is the first time this hoya has bloomed.
Lacunosa "Ruby Sue" usually blooms with a bit more of a pinkish purple tint to the flowers but I have it growing in lower light than usual.
This is an unidentified species from David Liddle. It's sp. India IML 1598. It is currently being sold in the states as hoya griffithi. IT IS NOT HOYA GRIFFITHII. It looks absolutely nothing at all like hoya griffithii leaf wise flower wise or any other way, shape or form.There's one currently on Ebay if it hasn't already ended but i'm afraid who ever gets it will end up being disappointed in the end because they are not going to be getting what they think they're getting. The IML # for the TRUE hoya griffithii is 1856.
another awesome color combination apple green and brick red!!! H. cinnimomifolia
H. cv. Noelle.
Carnosa krinkle 8
this link will show you what the REAL hoya griffithii looks like.
try this one!!
Here is a link that might be useful: the real griffithii
Fantastic photos David, such a variety of species.
The Hoya benguetensis and cinnimomifolia are both so colourful, real show stoppers.
The Hoya bicknellii is a neat plant. I was able to get a cutting recently and was surprised by the size of the leaves. Has your plant been a good grower and bloomer?
I added a link to another great photo of Hoya griffithii.
Here is a link that might be useful: Swedish Hoya Society Hoya griffithii photos
Carolyn and MIke, benguetensis is one of my favorites as well I especially like this photo from today because of the spider web in the background. Not sure what kind of spider it is and don't care to know as i'm TERRIFIED of them but the pic is cool!!
We have some sort of little spider here that comes out a night and weaves it's web in open areas to catch night flying insects. In the morning it destroys it's own web and retreats back to where ever it goes during the daytime,leaving partial webs all over the place and that's how this one came to be.
Mike thanks for posting that link to hoya griffithii. Everyone can actually see now what the real plant looks like. There's a couple of U.S. growers who are making big $$$ selling sp India IML 1598 as griffithii and at lest one doing so knowingly.
I have 2 small plants of the IML 1856 (true griffithii) and they have proven to be very slow growers. I also have the yellow/gold flowering clone from Botonova and it seems to grow just a bit faster than the white flowering one.I have 2 peduncles on the yellow one but so far no flowers!!

Tradescantia 'Red Hill'
Exotic Angel is distributing a couple of different plants under this name. This one looks like T. pallida but with somewhat hairy leaves and stems; the flowers are much smaller as well. Any help will be appreciated. Yale
Can't answer your specific question, but I too, have found Exotic Angel Plants questionable in their assignment of botanical names. Case in point is Rhipsalis...over the years I've bought four or five plants all with different names that turned out to be the same species! Not sure what this says about me ;-)
Yes I agree. I found some like that this summer too, with the pretty pink hues. Hope it blooms in the spring to see if the flowers are white. Have you seen this guy bloom? The plants at the store had reversions too, plain green, much more vigorous shoots from the same stems. I put it in the ground thinking it would grow faster, but it's super slow.

Galaxy GeForce GTS 450 Super OC 1GB Video Card - Benchmarks - Aliens vs. PredatorToday we have a look at the new GTS 450 from Galaxy, carrying with it the Super OC tag which has impressed in the past.
Aliens vs. Predator
Version and / or Patch Used: Standalone Benchmark
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.rebellion.co.uk/
Product Homepage: http://www.sega.com/games/aliens-vs-predator/
Aliens vs. Predator is a science fiction first-person shooter video game, developed by Rebellion Developments, the team behind the 1999 original PC game, and published by Sega for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. The game is based on the Alien vs. Predator franchise, a combination of the characters and creatures of the Alien franchise and the Predator franchise. There are three campaigns in the game, one for each race/faction (the Predators, the Aliens and the Colonial Marines), that, while separate in terms of individual plot and gameplay, form one overarching storyline.
Following the storyline of the campaign modes comes the multiplayer aspect of the game. In this Multiplayer section of the game, players face off in various different gametypes in various different ways.
Much like Lost Planet 2, AvP is very intensive. We again see the FPS across the board is below that 60 FPS number we want. In this instance, though, we see the GTS 450 fall a bit behind the HD 5770; it manages to only really outpace the HD 5750.
