Sikorski Is No Savior
Warsaw's liberal diplomat is not the man to take on Russia. And Poland isn't going to save Europe.
- By Ola CichowlasOla Cichowlas is a journalist and a research assistant at the London-based think thank The Henry Jackson Society.
Poland has just buried its last communist leader. Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski died in a Warsaw hospital at age 90 on the same day that more than 5 million Poles voted for their representatives in the EU Parliament and in the same year that Poland marks the 25th anniversary of the "Round Table Talks," which paved the way for democracy. As Warsaw's last Moscow-loyal authoritarian ruler passed away peacefully, its neighbor Ukraine elected a pro-European president amid months of ongoing standoffs with Russia following the country's Maidan revolution. In a move laden with symbolism, Ukraine's new president, Petro Poroshenko, announced that his first trip abroad as head of state will be to Poland.
Events in Ukraine have struck a nerve with Polish citizens and the government. When Kiev's Maidan protests began in November 2013, Poles could not resist drawing comparisons to their pro-democracy movement of the 1980s, Solidarity. From slain protesters in the streets to the threat of Russian intervention to prop up a leader loyal to the Kremlin, the scenes in Ukraine felt all too familiar to many in Poland.
Democracy eventually triumphed and Poland broke free from Moscow's rule. Today's Polish parliament is full of Solidarity veterans who have gone separate ways across the political spectrum and are freely elected. Within a mere four years, the country made a rapid and relatively complete transition to electoral democracy and a market economy. And Poland's government has made efforts to push other post-communist countries in similar directions. In the West's eyes, Poland is seen as "Eastern Europe's success story."
And it's because of their similarities that the ongoing Ukraine crisis has thrust Poland to the center of European foreign policy amid the biggest security threat to the continent since the Balkan wars. The Polish success story has become something of a fantasy among Western European liberals who are now arguing that Poland can be a catalyst for reform in Eastern Europe and that the happy outcome of the Polish transition can serve as a reminder to the Euroskeptics in London, Paris, and Berlin of the privileges of European democracy, the importance of having friendly neighbors, and the good fortune of not sharing a border with Russia. One man has been put forward to do this: Radek Sikorski, the Polish foreign minister. Sikorski has been described as "Mr. Perfect from Warsaw" and the man who might "save Europe." That's not only overly optimistic — it is wrong.
It's not that Sikorski's diplomatic achievements in Ukraine aren't real — they are. He went to Kiev in February with the foreign ministers of Germany and France to meet with Ukraine's now-ousted President Viktor Yanukovych in a series of negotiations that helped resolve the crisis. His persistent stance with the West in support of Kiev in this time of need should be applauded. But not only is the concept of Poland saving Europe absurd, but Sikorski is not the person for this job.
Poland has announced that it will nominate Sikorski to replace Catherine Ashton as the European Union's top diplomat when she leaves her post in October. But Sikorski seems to belong to a group of people who believe Russia will never be anything but autocratic. Like the thinking of many onetime Solidarity activists, his inability to see Russia as anything other than a continuation of the Soviet Union will blind him to the nuances of the situation.
Furthermore, Sikorski is not the liberal prince that his Western admirers, in awe of his Queen's English, Oxford degree, and impressive career, believe him to be. The Polish foreign minister is much more socially conservative than the "center-right" leanings he himself claims to have. Polish politics can be deceptive. There are few genuinely liberal politicians in Warsaw, and the Polish opposition, under an increasingly nationalist Jaroslaw Kaczynski (in whose government Sikorski actually served while defense minister between 2005 and 2007), is so far removed from reality that anyone seems liberal by comparison. Sikorski — a man who once praised a counterfactual history novel by a right-wing amateur historian about how Poland and Nazi Germany could have teamed up to defeat the Soviet Union — is not the person to lead European diplomacy. And neither is Poland, no matter how far it has come.
When the Eastern Bloc fell in 1989, Poland decided to leave behind the burden of an Eastern European identity and view itself as part of the West, even though Poles remained very much aware of their 20th-century status as a satellite state. The idea of Warsaw assuming a more active role gained new momentum when Poland entered the European Union in 2004 — "the accomplishment of a century-old Polish dream of belonging to the Western world," as President Bronislaw Komorowski put it during 10th-anniversary celebrations this year. But with membership to the clubs of the West came an uncertain future: Was Poland to be merely a fringe gatekeeper or a dynamic member state and a catalyst for enlargement?
As a relative latecomer to the EU with a communist past, Poland has long felt insecure about its position in the EU. (Its exclusion from the euro area hasn't helped either.) But since joining the European Union, Poland has amply shown its commitment to pro-democracy movements in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Warsaw stood by Georgia's Rose Revolution in 2003 — even though now-deceased Polish President Lech Kaczynski and Georgia's Mikheil Saakashvili had little in common beyond their anti-Moscow views.* Poland's then-president endorsed Kiev's (failed) Orange Revolution in 2004, and the current president is assisting Moldovan reforms. Warsaw is the most vocal agitator for change inside the Belarus of Aleksandr Lukashenko, Europe's last remaining dictator. Within the EU, Poland has been a vocal advocate of bringing Ukraine into the European fold going back as far as Poland's accession to the union in 2004.
The Polish commitment to democracy movements and an orientation toward the West come easily to Poles as they reflect on their history. It's in many ways natural that the Ukraine protests would be compared to those that ignited the Solidarity movement. But in the end, they are flawed. The Maidan is not the Gdansk shipyard, and 2014 is not 1984. Solidarity evolved over the course of almost a decade. And by 1989, Poland was not alone; the rest of the Eastern Bloc was also undergoing transformation. By that point, the Soviet Union was weak and on the brink of collapse. The West actually cared about and needed Poland. Europe and the United States were rich, strong, and confident — there were no recessions in sight, no calls for austerity. In 2014, Ukraine stands alone; the West is divided, weak, and poor; and a self-confident, self-righteous Russia is stronger than it has been since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Despite Warsaw's optimism
, the Polish prescription may not work in Ukraine. Warsaw has been so blinded by the successful transformation of its economy and the rise of a functioning democracy that it believes every other corrupt post-communist regime can have an equally fast mend. Efforts to integrate Russia's other neighbors into a wider Europe are unrealistic. The Eastern Partnership, a Polish-initiated EU project intended to promote democracy, grouped six disparate states into one category: post-Soviet. Warsaw's optimism was awe-inspiring for the Ukrainian revolutionaries, who championed closer ties to Europe and less subservience to Moscow. But the goals of the Maidan revolution will fail if EU leaders lack a realistic vision for Kiev's European future.
As Poland buries Jaruzelski, it bids farewell to one chapter of its history. But the past year has also seen the return of national fears with roots in the last century. Russian aggression in Ukraine and Moscow's descent into Putinist authoritarianism revived anxieties Poles had buried for two decades. Warsaw believes its quarter-century-long golden age is threatened. Sikorski sees Europe through this prism of Polish historical misery, but Brussels deserves more than that. There are many things Europe needs. Polish conservatism is not one of them.
*Correction, May 31, 2014: Georgia's Rose Revolution occurred in 2003, not 2012, as originally misstated. (Return to reading.)

Helping retirees prepare for retirement
Helping retirees prepare for retirement
This is my first BLOG spot as a member of the Village On The Isle team. In May I will be celebrating my first anniversary as the Associate Director of Sales and Marketing. I am so happy to be here among so many wonderful people both staff and residents.
As we go through life, we are taken down many paths and prepare for what the future may hold for us. Through life and school we get ready for the "real world" and our future careers! We are usually asked "what do you want to be when you grow up" and most of us can honestly say, that the thing we said we wanted to be isn't necessarily what we end up being. But we walk down that path, and try to prepare as much as possible because let's face it, we don't know what is out there waiting for us. We don't know where we'll be in 5 years, 10 years, etc.
With that being said, I feel as the roads of life previously traveled have prepared me for this position, especially my two most recent experiences in Real Estate Sales and as a Preplanning Specialist for a Funeral Home. These two positions have many similarities to what this job entails. I was showing and selling homes, very much like I do here. I educate our prospective customers on the importance of planning ahead, helping them understand that like it or not we will all age and that my goal is to allow people to age in place. So it does require a certain amount of preplanning in a couple of areas. Those two areas are financial planning and emotional preparation.
What I have seen is that people are living longer so they are waiting longer to make this move because they feel they aren't "ready for this." Can I ask ready for what? Someone to cook and clean for you? Drive you around town during our hectic seasonal traffic? Do all the maintenance inside and out? Build relationships with other residents that become like family? What's not to love about all that? Independent Living is just that … Independent, but with perks! It is gaining freedom from the less important tasks and not giving it up in other areas as so many people think. In fact, during your career you actually have quite less freedom from the things you really love to do, right?
The most common thing I hear from our current residents are that they wish they'd come to Village On The Isle sooner! "Why did I wait so long?" they tell us. The hardest part of the process is to make that decision but once made, the rest will fall into place. We don't have a crystal ball to see how things will transpire in our future so it's important to plan for the "what ifs" or "just in case." Our lives can change in a heartbeat! One fall resulting in a broken hip and your whole world can be turned upside down. The transition into Independent Living is a much easier one to do than to go from your own home into Assisted Living. You are buying into a lifestyle here … enjoy it before it's too late!

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: MAPPING HISTORY App from PBS Now Available
Exclusively on the App Store
BOSTON, MA — American Experience: Mapping History, a free app from PBS that allows users to explore events, characters and locations connected to the anti-slavery movement on their iPhone or iPod touch, is now available on the App Store. The app engages communities around their local history, expanding upon the stories told in the three-part television series The Abolitionists, and connecting them to real geographic locations. It brings events from the past to life and integrates them into present-day American cities. The Abolitionists premieres on Tuesdays, January 8, 15 and 22, 2013 at 9:00 p.m. ET on PBS.
Developed with innovative technology from public media history platform HistoryPin, the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: MAPPING HISTORY App allows users to relive the history of the abolitionist movement by exploring places central to the nation's anti-slavery efforts. Users can retrace the steps taken by 10,000 freed slaves as they celebrated in Charleston, S.C. shortly after Robert E. Lee's surrender. In Nantucket, watch a video clip from The Abolitionists in which Frederick Douglass (Richard Brooks) tells William Lloyd Garrison (Neal Huff) the moving story of his childhood spent in slavery. In Philadelphia, layer an image of Pennsylvania Hall engulfed in flames over the structure that stands there today, and see how it has transformed over time.
Key features of the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: MAPPING HISTORY App include curated walking tours of Boston, Charleston, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, where users can find the most significant locations, read about their histories, and superimpose archival images over the street views of those same locations today. Over 30 video clips from The Abolitionists are available in locations ranging from Maine to Kansas.
The AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: MAPPING HISTORY App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
American Experience has worked with hundreds of museums, libraries, archives and public television stations to populate the map with geo-tagged historical photos and documents.

I was wondering if witch doctors need more hp over int or int over hp, and also the more int i have the more damage my witch doctor will do?
once you reach hell/inferno, it seems mana regen > HP > pickup radius (if you have grave injustice) > int > others. Mana regen seems to be found only on our class specific helms and off-hands. % HP is really nice too.
As for damage, we have some builds that deal comparable damage to other classes, the problem is when we use those builds our survivability is far far lower than those classes.
Stack HP more then int?

Stack both when possible. I wouldn't trade 100 vit for 100 int but I also wouldn't take 150 vit/pickup range over 100 VIT/100 INT.
Both have their value. Vit is generally more important but it's not good to stack it completely at the expense of INT.

Utah Jazz: Surprise! Surprise! These Golden State Warriors are playing tough (+video)
Ben Brewer, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Wait just a minute. This can't be right, can it?
Just take a look at the current NBA standings, and whad'ya see? Yep, sure enough, there's that unfamiliar name "Golden State" sitting way up among the best teams in the Western Conference this season.
It's almost like an entry straight out of "Ripley's Believe It or Not." But believe it, fans — it might seem sorta strange, but it's definitely true.
Golden State certainly made believers out of Utah on Wednesday night, as the Warriors surprised the Jazz 94-83 before a stunned crowd of 19,404 at EnergySolutions Arena.
And, in all honesty, it really wasn't that close. Golden State led by 20 points, 90-70, with 4:17 remaining before a closing 13-4 run by Utah made it much more respectable at the final buzzer.
It was just the third home-court loss of the season for the Jazz, who were missing feisty starting point guard Mo Williams and turned in a "Bah, humbug!" lackluster effort to give their fans a losing lump of coal the day after Christmas.
With Stephen Curry lighting them up for 18 of his game-high 23 points in the first half, and the Warriors hitting a slick 9-of-18 shots from 3-point range, the visitors came away with a double-digit victory despite shooting just 40.2 percent overall from the field.
"It was a great overall team effort," said Golden State coach Mark Jackson, who spent one season of his 17-year NBA career as a backup point guard with the Jazz. "We defended, held them to a season-low 83 points, paid attention to details. We played at our pace and it was just a quality win against a good team — especially good at home.
"We made shots. We defended. We rebounded the basketball. And we understood how they could hurt us. Our guys did a great job of following the game plan, taking care of the basketball and not allowing them to dominate the paint and dominate the boards."
With Wednesday's win over the Jazz, the Warriors are an impressive 11-6 on the road and 19-10 overall this season, sitting fifth in the West — several games ahead of the up-and-down Jazz (15-15).
"You're used to seeing them at the bottom end of the totem pole, and now they're right there in the middle in the thick of things," Jazz forward Paul Millsap said of the Warriors. "They get out there and they play hard every game."
Looking back over the last 29 NBA seasons, Golden State has finished with a better record than Utah just once — 2004-05, when the Jazz went a woeful 26-56 and the Warriors were a not-quite-as-lousy 34-48. Since 1983, the two franchises have finished with the same regular-season record twice.
But every other year over that span, the Jazz have put together a better regular-season showing than did the Warriors, who have only managed seven winning records in the last 29 years — and just two of them over the last 18 seasons.
This year's early-season showing is certainly a far cry from the last three decades, when the Warriors were generally among the league's also-rans and, from time to time, put together some embarrassing bottom-feeder records like 17-65, 19-63 (twice), 20-62, 21-61, 22-60, 26-56 (three times), 29-53, 30-52 a couple of times and 23-43 in last year's lockout-shortened season.
But, hey, it looks like that's all in the past now. Wednesday's win was only the Warriors' 17th in 80 all-time trips to Salt Lake City, where they'll meet again Feb. 19.
"They've got a great coach over there," said Utah center Al Jefferson. "They've got some great players. They've got their confidence up. They believe in themselves. And they're playing well.
"They're a very unselfish team. They move the ball well. Guys pass up open shots to get a better shot. And that's the way you have to play basketball.
"Mark Jackson is a heck of a coach and was a heck of a player when he was in the league, so I'm not surprised," Jefferson said. "They play hard on every possession."
That's something this inconsistent Jazz ballclub is still learning to do.
And until they do, and do it every night, home and away, there will be more nights like this.
And no, you needn't call Mr. Ripley to verify it.

Vent Hood Decision
I am wondering about cost-performance tradeoffs in vent hoods. Our stove top cooking is mostly sauteing, caramelizing veg for stews/soups, reheating leftovers, frying eggs and only occasionally searing meat, seafood or stir-frying. A very effective vent hood is one of the priorities in my moderate budget. A 450 CFM Ventahood will cost me $2300 and a Jenn Air 600 CFM hood will cost only $1500. Is the Ventahood worth it? I hear it performs better and it certainly is quieter. Thanks!
Quiet at high flow generally requires an external (roof) blower and intermediate (in-line) sound suppressor. These along with ducts and hood are normally higher priced than hoods of similar flow with local, in-hood, blowers. VAH hoods may or may not be quieter than different examples of other hoods, reports vary; one would have to compare hoods at the same effective flow rate to be certain. In principle, whether bladed or squirrel cage, turbulence noise will be proportional to tip speed, but may vary due to second order design details. Tip speed for a given flow rate when sized for a particular duct diameter would be expected to be similar among designs, but there is room for improvement that usually costs money.
At the low end price range, your best bet is to listen to models that have more flow than you need, as once installed, you will not get the rated flow rate. (Please see endless threads on this subject.) An easy (but more expensive) way to keep down noise is install a high flow system and run it at partial power.
As I have a relatively large system, I can't advise you on a particular model, but others here may be able to do so.
I don't know enough about hoods to know why you are looking at those particular models. Are they inserts for a custom hood? I got a 640 CFM Kobe Chx 191 series and am very happy with it. It vents well and is quiet, plus I got a great deal last year around Christmas and paid less than $600. The last model I saw was rated at around 700 CFM, not sure what the current model is. But it is 22 in deep, so decent capture compared to many, LED lights, baffles, seamless, and quiet. We rarely need to run it on high.
Perhaps the clearest way to ask the question at this point is: does anyone have comments on the functionality of these wall-mounted Euro style vent hoods? Jenn Air's 30 inch 600 CFM model and Kitchen Aid's 30 inch 600 CFM model? Thank you!
Perhaps the clearest way to ask the question at this point is: does anyone have comments on the functionality of these wall-mounted Euro style vent hoods? Jenn Air's 30 inch 600 CFM model and Kitchen Aid's 30 inch 600 CFM model? Thank you!
I don't know those particular hoods, but, as you are now doing, we agonized over the decision about a vent hood wondering how powerful we needed to go and which brand to go with. And, our cooking style is very similar to yours.
We came to the conclusion that VAH was a waste of money. Instead we put in a euro style (I think) 600 cfm Zephyr Anzio that cost us in the $700 to &800 range. It is more than sufficient for our needs over a 30" AG Wolf range.
Hope this helps.
Your question might be just a little clearer if you gave model numbers, and maybe said a word about what kind of stovetop you are looking to vent.
Also, is quiet important to you? Kaseki's advice is always worth listening to, and one option, at least, is to split the purchase into two parts, a simple canopy with no blower in it, and an external blower.

Help with Master Bath Layout
We are building a new home and the master bathroom will be 16' x 8'. As you can see in the pic below, I have a free-standing tub and a 6'6" double vanity. We are in the rough plumbing stage and I got a call today that we can't put the toilet where I have it because it is directly above some trunk line (we have a finished basement below). So, I have to swap the shower and toilet and I can't come up with a layout that I love. I will post a pic of the best layout I could come up with next.
I am hoping one of you will have a better idea!!
Here is my new layout. It is ok, but I am concerned about how all the angles will look in real life. I would prefer a private toilet room, but I am not sure you can add a door here. I should mention that the doors into the bathroom are double pocket doors.
Thanks for any input!!
I think your arrangement would work, but if you separate the vanities, you could get a pocket door on the toilet area. I'm not sure how much wall space is available where the second vanity and shower would be located. If you have enough wall space or decrease the size of the second vanity, you could enlarge the shower from 3 feet wide to 42" or 4 feet by 5 feet. The red lines and numbers indicate a larger shower area and larger toilet area. To keep the shower from feeling boxed in, you could do a pony wall next to the second vanity and maybe do less deep vanities (18 to 21 in deep).

Anyone have a manual treadmill...?
Do any of you have a manual treadmill such as the EZ Walk Treadmill from QVC?
If any of you have a manual treadmill, would you please tell my how you like it? And give any advice you have about purchasing one?
Which is best, manual or automatic? I have already posted on Exercise and Nutrition so that I would increase my chances of getting a reply, Any help is greatly appreciated.
I don't have one, but I have used one in a gym. That one was a belt sort of thing that rolled under the feet as you took a step. The feeling was that my footing was not on something solid. It didn't feel "safe." This may have been just the way that particular one was made. The EZ Walk model may be different.
However, I don't think I would get one without trying it out personally. If it doesn't feel comfortable to you, you most likely will not use it.

Kitchen color ideas
My kitchen is going to be north facing and shaded by trees. The cabinets are going to be white stained with sable glaze and medium wood flooring. I originally had planned on using svelte sage or a comparable gray/green but since have been told that won't be the best idea to help keep it light and bright. I don't really want to use yellow but not opposed to a creamy yellowish color. Any ideas to keep a north facing kitchen bright? Thanks
What are your counter tops?
I like the two colors that AnnieDeighnaugh has featured in the following link. I think that both colors would brighten up a kitchen and look good with white distressed cabinets. ;)
Here is a link that might be useful: Guest bedrooms

Yes, Tibbrix, north facing and shaded by trees. This is my first house build and unfortunately didn't think anything about which way the rooms would be facing when I had the house plans designed. I have always heard that you should build at least 2 homes, one to learn what you want and the other you know what you want! What shade of blue would you suggest? I am thinking of doing Sea Salt SW or Glidden Gentle Tide in my daughters room and bath. Would that be too light?
I just chose SW Sea Salt for my laundry room, which is probably the lowest light room in the house. The floor is a white tile and the cabinets are white. Washer and dryer will be white when we get them.
When all lights are off the Sea Salt does have a grey-green cast to it. Depending on which lights are on it changes color, which is one of my favorite characteristics of both the sea and that color.
It won't be a vibrant color if you choose it, but it is a soft, calming color. Try painting a board using one of their $5 tester pots and put it in your kitchen and live with it a few days.
My poor husband painted up, including primer then color, more than a dozen of those test drywall boards for our house. I rejected as many colors as I chose. It made a real difference seeing a large swatch of color in the actual rooms.
If you want a color that is similar but much less likely to go grey on you, look at SW Topsail.
What is the lighting, both natural and artificial, like in your daughter's room?
My personal opinion is that rooms that don't get a lot of natural light do better with colors with some depth to them. That makes up for the lack of light.
I have Nantucket Fog in a north-facing bedroom, which also has all white furniture, and it's beautiful, esp. at night when the lights are on.
My favorite blue is BM Van Courtland Blue. IMO, it's kind of a perfect blue. I've got it in my kitchen, which gets no natural light, and another sitting room, which gets natural light only in the morning. I love it.
I also think blue would work great with your sable glaze.
I think the two questions to ask when deciding on paint color are, "What is the lighting in the room, both natural and artificial?" and, "How do I want to feel when I'm in this room?", i.e.: calm, cheery and upbeat, elegant...
You say your cabinets are stained white. Not sure what that means. I have creamy white cabinets (BM Cloud White) with an eastern exposure, plus northern light coming in from my adjacent dining room. There's a strong influence of green from foliage outside which I can see at various times of the day. It's fine, but green on the walls will intensify it.
All my walls are SW Antique White, a french vanilla shade. It never yellows. Depending on the time of day, it can range between soft light tan to warm sunshine. It never calls attention to itself. In the late afternoon it is sublime.
Tibbrix- my daughters room lighting will be one window facing east and an overhead ceiling fan and/or small lamp. Her room is 12x12 so not too big.
Linelle-The cabinet maker calls the white stained cabinets pickled white. The wood grain shows through slightly but they look painted white. I will attach a pic but it doesn't do them justice!
So, your daughter's room gets morning light, presumably. From @ noon on, it doesn't get any direct natural light.
The Sea Salt should be okay, but nothing spectacular, would be my opinion. Maybe a couple of shades darker? BM Quiet Moments or Mount St. Anne (which is an absolutely gorgeous color).
Assuming you don't have a lot of wall area in your kitchen, and your kitchen doesn't get much natural light, with those cabinets, I'd paint the walls a rich burgundy. It would be gorgeous.
Hmmmm, I had never thought of something dramatic like burgundy! The kitchen area is about 23ft x 16 ft. It will be a kitchen /dining area together with a 4 or 5 ft island also. So there won't be a lot of wall space on the kitchen side but there will be a large long wall on the dr side. It is also partially open to the LR, which I am undecided on the color also:/ I am getting a sectional that is a drab olivey brown. Mainly because I have a 2 year old that has made a mess of the light colored furniture I have!
then the burgundy would be perfect, and stunning. Perfect, also, for a room that doesn't get a lot of natural light. You'll feel really good in there. It's not a color you want to use on a large area of wall, but it's perfect for what sounds like your kitchen. It'll make the room FEEL wonderful, and it'll make your cabinets really pop (sorry for using an overused term!).
I love Benjamin Moore Dinner Party. The link below even has a pic of it in a kitchen. However, when you click on that pic, a different one comes up with a different color.
Here is a link that might be useful: BM Dinner Party AF-300
What you want to be careful of, when picking a red, is that it doesn't go purple on you once you get it on the wall. Watch out for raisin undertones. It's the undertone of a paint color that is important and which you want to know when picking a color.
I'm sure others can find nice cranberry/burgundy reds. I also LOVE the BM Wiliamsburg collection, which has two great reds. "Palace Arms Red" and "Carriage Red" (Palace Arms might be a bit too purple), which would look great with your antique cabinetry. the carriage red is really beautiful.

Travel Blogs from Grange-over-Sands
Today (Saturday) we're having a day off and spending it at the Speke Resort in Kampala. It's a very smart place on the shores of Lake Victoria and has a large swimming pool.
Juliet was about to apply her sun cream when we noticed that what she thought was sun cream was actually Spanish hairspray. She had been using it all day yesterday at Sanga and wondered why it had not been very effective!
... garden, screaming loudly as they went! They were amazingly strong. We ran a wheelbarrow race and laughed when they found Joe was too heavy to pick up! The girls have been very busy playing games with the large number of youngsters. Tom has seen a lady who will probably need surgery on an eye. Julia made an arch support for a 28 year old farmer. She has treated mainly backs with a few knees. She treated Najita's grand daughter who was 16 and had growing pains. Mike has seen ...
... a young child with a hernia. This afternoon Sarah Beth, Eleanor , Janet and I painted 2 classrooms. Their parents would have been impressed and perhaps surprised. For a while we had an audience of 6 workmen watching us until Pastor Geoffrey arrived to tell them that they should be busy elsewhere! He thought we might have been the first white people (muzungu) they had ever seen and were fascinated by us. Many of us have had arms and legs stroked ...
... was even worse than usual because it was graduation day at one of the Universities. Joel and Ibra got very held up on their way to us on the coach When we arrived at the church the overcast day gave way to very bright sunshine and it has been hotter than ever. A woman was brought in on a bike and said she couldn't walk. She had a huge tumour on her breast and her liver was very enlarged. She has 4 young children. Dr Emily had to tell her that she had probably no more than 6 ...
Just us
... afternoon Nanny, Grandpa and Uncle Mike took Alexander, Lincoln, Rosie, Brody and Marni of to a pantomime (Aladdin) in Lancaster.
Matt and I went for a walk to the Midland hotel, back along the seafront, through Morecambe village. We had and Irish and Bailey's coffee and then braved the icy 1 degree conditions on the way back...to the mayhem of family dinner.

Ventricelli v. Kinney System Rent a Car, Inc. 45 N.Y.2d 950, 411 N.Y.S.2d 555, 383 N.E.2d 1149, modified, 46 N.Y.2d 770, 413 N.Y.S.2d 655, 386 N.E.2d 263 (1978) Kinney rented a car that had a defective trunk. He and a friend were standing on the street, trying to get the parked car's trunk shut when someone named Maldonado crashed his car into Ventricelli. Ventricelli sued Kinney for negligence. The Trial Court found for Ventricelli and awarded him $550k. Kinney appealed. The Appellate Court reversed and dismissed the case. Ventricelli appealed. The New York Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Court and dismissed the case. o The New York Supreme Court found that, while Kinney's negligence was a cause of the accident, it was not the proximate cause. o The Court felt that it was foreseeable that Ventricelli would have to spend time getting the trunk closed, it was not foreseeable that this would expose him to getting hit by a car. Ventricelli could have theoretically been standing behind the car for a number of reasons. o In a dissent it was argued that Kinney's negligence increased the time that Ventricelli would have to spend exposed to possibly getting hit by a car, and therefore Kinney increased the probability of Ventricelli getting injured. Getting hit by a car isn't normally a consequence of closing a trunk. However, getting your hand caught in the truck is. If Kinney's negligence resulted in Ventricelli slamming his hand in the trunk, they would probably be held liable for that injury. Project Wonderful - Your ad here, right now, for as low as $0

Massage Parlors in Playa del Carmen
Like Cancun, Playa del Carmen enjoys a variety of massage parlors. Many are located on 5th Avenue. The place mentioned most often is Veronica's Spa on 5th. (Not the newer one, but the location between 10th and 12th.)
Taxi drivers all know what you want and where to find it. Are you staying at a hotel? If you are, find a young person who speaks English and tell him what you want. Not all the massage parlors in Playa del Carmen have happy endings. A tip of $50 pesos (about $4 USD) to the right person will give you the inside story on everything from restaurants to women.
Don't forget to convert your dollars to pesos, and carry lots of small bills. Mexicans often don't have change, and expect you to let them keep the balance. That sucks when your meal cost $235 pesos, for example and you've paid with a $500 peso note.
The Pleasure Palace in PDC
The Pleasure Palace is the Gold Standard of on the Mayan Riviera. First of all, everything's in English, except the girls. The website is written in English and the people who set appointments speak English ....you won't need a word of Spanish. They'll pick you up and take you back. It's first class all the way.

Glass Block Window repair
My husband and I have a vent like opening in our glass block bathroom window. It is the measurement of four of the glass blocks and looks like it was cemented in when the glass blocks were placed in to make the window. It is realy old and lets in a lot of air even when shut. I was wondering how hard it would be for my husband and I to replace it ourselves to save money. I was thinking I would knock it out, purchase a new vent window, and place it in with spacers and then recement. Any advise would be great. (I even thought about repacing it with just glass blocks because we will be intalling a bathroom fan to vent to the outside for the first time.) What do you think???? THANKS
You can replace it with new glass block or there are some manufacturers that make operable glass block windows.
Glass block is not harder than setting tile so it is pretty straightforward if your DIY - DIWoW skills are good.

Caterpillar ID Needed
Hi everyone
Just found a tiny cat on my kids' playset, about 1/4 inch long, green with orange/red spikes all along both sides of its back. The playset is directly under a wateroak tree, not sure if he fell off it.
I cannot figure out how to post a picture! Thanks
There is a not very informative FAQ on posting pictures here. Most members here probably use PhotoBucket to host their pictures. Some of us have our own servers to host on and just use the easy "tags" to post them here.
But without location data (especially), a picture or other supporting data...
Here is a link that might be useful: PhotoBucket
Yep I am pretty sure he is a stinger, very fuzzy and spikey. he is so small right now that it is hard to tell what he is going to look like, but he is happily chomping away on water oak leaves now and pooping up a storm :-) I am in north central texas

Hymenosporum flavum
When I put this in, I didn't do enough research. Durr!!
It is double trunked and about 6m tall. Over the years it has lost most of its lower branches to wind, so it now looks like 2 over-sized lollipops.
Does any one have experience of cutting these down? Will they shoot from dormant buds, on the trunk, or coppice from the base?
Hi Fof
I had one of these years back and soon realised that it had plenty of epicormic buds along its stems and trunk. I pruned it well into the older wood and it regenerated reasonably quickly. I didn't get any coppicing at the base but I suspect if cut heavily enough that it might. It is known for being fire resistant or fire retardant so that would also make me think that it will coppice.
Anyway, I ended up getting rid of it in the end but loved it whilst I had it growing. I now have the dwarf version -- a much more bushy plant but doesn't flower as well as the parent.
Thanks, Ted. That is exactly what I had hoped to hear.
As I said, it is double trunked, with the split point below ground level. I have often wondered if it was a single seedling or 2 together when I got it as tube stock.
Will wait a bit longer then I'll bring one down, very low and see if it coppices. Once I see what it is doing, I'll think about doing the other.

safe to plug antique appliances into modern outlets?
I inherited some antique electrical appliances that work great - the cords are fabric covered and in great shape, but they have two prongs instead of three. Is this safe or do I need some type of adapter? Many thanks if anyone can answer this question. Someone told me it was dangerous to plug old appliances into modern wiring. They were manufactured in the 20's...
Someone was wrong.
Even modern appliances frequently don't have grounded (three prong) cords if there is no exposed metal, etc...
If your older cords are in good condition, no fraying, cuts, burned spots, etc... and the cord is securely connected at the plug and appliance ends, they should work fine.
If you want extra protection, make sure whatever receptacle you plug them into has GFCI protection.
Okay... but to be fair - older appliances are almost always metal and not grounded and would guess aren't UL approved in many cases. Don't expect the same product safety awareness as we have now.
Use them on a GFI and unplug them when you are done.
I have a very cool old waffle iron that I still use - but only on a GFI outlet.

A brother I'd rather not have
Observations on Robert Jackson
Observations on Robert Jackson
by Neal Lawson Published
I used to rejoice when Tories defected to Labour. Now it makes my heart sink. The defection of Robert Jackson, the Tory MP for Wantage, represents the old Blairite one-card trick, which we also saw in 1995 (when Alan Howarth defected) and 1999 (Shaun Woodward). Just when the Conservatives are ready to launch their spending plans, they are rocked back on their heels. Instead of challenging new Labour's right to govern, the Tories are left trying to justify their right to exist.
The Blairites win elections by destroying the space for the Tories, and what better symbol of that success than a new convert? In Blair's own words, "like many people who used to be Conservatives, he [Jackson] now finds new Labour closer to one-nation politics". In other words, Blair has repositioned Labour as the party of classic one-nation conservatism. And it works, as shown by the latest opinion poll, with its projection of a 160-seat Labour election victory. The surprise is not that Jackson has defected, but that more Tories haven't jumped ship as the Blairite tide rises around them.
But this is no zero-sum game as new Labour wins one and the Tories lose one. Jackson was an education minister under Margaret Thatcher. Like all the Tory converts, he was there during the attacks on trade unions and local government, during the poll tax and the huge increases in inequality justified by the bogus "trickle-down" theory. Only now has Jackson had enough. But he is still as keen on the market as he was under Thatcher. That is why he voted with the new Labour government for tuition fees, the high water mark of marketisation - at least so far.
The debate within Labour is now about whether the rich need to pay higher taxes if the government is to meet its anti-poverty targets. Will Jackson vote for increased taxes to redistribute to the people he helped make so poor in the first place? Is he all of a sudden a progressive? Will he help shift the centre of British politics firmly to the left? I doubt it. I would suggest that Jackson's switch signifies something rather less than a conversion to equality, liberty and solidarity. People have every right to change their minds - but is it Jackson's mind that has changed, or Labour's?
The Blair strategy of denying the space for alternatives to the left or the right works for two reasons. First, because the Tories let it: they won't say what they know in their hearts - that Blair is doing many of the things that come naturally to them, such as being as tough as possible on crime and commercialising the NHS.
Second, Labour allows it. As long as we have power, we think, what is the problem? In the wake of the latest revelations about Blair-Brown rows, Labour MPs gave the two men a good telling-off for fighting in public. At last they found their voices, but only when they thought their seats were under threat. Where were Clive Soley and Claire Ward - and the others who reportedly spoke out - when it really mattered? Why didn't they give Blair a dressing-down over Iraq or tuition fees?
To many on the left, "four more years" is beginning to sound more like a prison sentence than an opportunity to renew British politics, empower citizens and close the gap between rich and poor. Jackson's conversion will help seal what Jackson wants - another big majority that enables the government to be "unremittingly new Labour", precisely because the party will be defending seats, people and places which are anti-progressive and so will never allow the redistribution of wealth or the democratisation of politics. Instead of refashioning Britain in the image of the left, Labour will be refashioned by the likes of Robert Jackson. Margaret Thatcher said "there is no alternative". There won't be unless the democratic left decides it wants one.

While we normally went to the Arvada location, when it closed we started coming here. The service is always friendly, the food is great and fast. The salsa is my biggest weakness!

This is a restaurant that was always a must stop when it visiting friends and family in the area, but with it being in Aurora, it has limited the chances fo meals even more. Still great food for a great price.
