How nice to find an accommodation that lives up to expectations, and more. This facility was impeccably clean with lovely furnishings including a great well stocked kitchen. Best of all, it was located right in the heart of Port Douglas with its quaint shops and terrific bistros. We could not have been happier with our apartment. The managers were even kind enough to return our son's passport and headset, which had been left behind, which was certainly appreciated.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Gulf carrier Etihad Airways, seeking to widen operations in India and other Asian markets, is in the final stages of talks to buy part of either Jet Airways (JET.NS) or grounded rival Kingfisher Airlines (KING.NS), an Indian government official said on Monday.
A deal, which the official said could be announced by next week, would be the first since the government relaxed ownership rules in September to allow foreign airlines to invest up to 49 percent in a domestic carrier.
"Etihad has not yet decided. They are talking to both," said the officials, who has knowledge of the talks but declined to be named as the negotiations are confidential.
Buying into Jet is seen as more lucrative for Etihad as the two carriers already have a code-sharing agreement and could target the market share of state-owned Air India and Dubai-based Emirates Airline EMIRA.UL, which dominates routes between India and the Middle East.
But a stake in Kingfisher, which has been grounded after its licences were suspended and whose owner, liquor baron Vijay Mallya, has been looking for an investor for more than a year, would be cheaper.
Indian carriers are beset by stiff competition and high operating costs and have been in talks to sell minority stakes to foreign operators.
Shares in Jet Airways Ltd, the No. 2 Indian carrier, closed 2.4 percent higher on Monday, after rising as much as 4.7 percent to a nearly two-year high, on hopes that Abu Dhabi-based Etihad would strike a deal with it.
Kingfisher shares ended down 5 percent - their daily limit - snapping nine consecutive sessions of gains.
"Unbelievable as it might sound, Kingfisher at the moment stands a better chance, but the price has to be right," said Rajan Mehra, an industry expert and the India head of U.S.-based private jet operator Universal Aviation.
"Etihad will be able to have control over the airline. Right now what they want is control," said Mehra, who previously headed Qatar Airways' India operations.
Kingfisher is considering giving up operational control of its overseas flights if a deal goes through, a separate source had said earlier.
The debt-laden carrier said last week it was in talks with Etihad and other investors about taking a stake, while later in the week it capped foreign portfolio investment in the company at 3 percent, carving space for a foreign investor to buy as much as 49 percent in it.
On Monday, Kingfisher said it was looking to restart operations and would arrange funding itself. The carrier said it would discuss a full recapitalisation plan with a small group of bankers.
Kingfisher will need about 4.25 billion rupees to restart according to its plan, said Shyamal Acharya, a deputy managing director at State Bank of India (SBI.NS), the country's top lender and the lead bank to Kingfisher.

Obama derided on Crimea crisis - 0 Comments
Sanctions slammed
President Obama's move to punish Russia's Crimean land grab by seizing the U.S. assets of seven Russians and four Ukrainians drew mockery from Russian officials, derision from U.S. analysts and criticism from a GOP rival as a weak bid.
"Comrade Obama, what should those who have neither accounts nor property abroad do? Have you not thought about it?" tweeted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin — one of the sanctioned Russians. "I think the decree of the President of the United States was written by some joker."

Your experience with the peony called Ludovica or Butch
I'm trying to decide between planting Ludovica or Butch. Both have a similar violet-red color. Would you write back your experience with either of these plants such as robustness, flopping tendency, etc.
Does anyone know the name of the peony that's on the top right of the Peony Forum? It rather looks like Ludovica.
Carsten's is always the first place I go to look for information. By now you have probably found out that Ludovica is a short pinkish bloom and Butch is a tall red. I have seen Butch in Don Hollingsworth's fields and there it has straight very masculine stems. Seems like there were fewer stems to each plant but you can see it across the field. I don't remember seeing Ludovica so no personal comment.
Thanks for the info. After I posted this question here, I read somewhere that Ludovica doesn't take hot summer sun very well. That would tend to eliminate it in my southwest facing border. Butch sounds like a fine plant. Maifleur, your comments that "it has straight very masculine stems" and "it can be seen across the field" makes Butch sound like a very good choice.
I find it SOOOOO hard to decide between plants. May Merrysunshine, a red fernleaf found at Hollingsworth, sounds like a fine plant for my perennial border and am strongly considering that one too. I haven't found any criticisms of it so far.
I may resort to writing all the red peony names I like on small bits of paper, putting them in a hat, and blindfolded, reaching in and picking one! Sigh . . . Thanks for the input.

- Rev. Dr. Christopher Drew
Thomas P. Frost
Thomas P. Frost, organist and choirmaster in the Berkshires for over fifty years, died in Pittsfield on April 5 at the age of 86. For the past six years, he resided at Hillcrest Commons, where he drove his wheelchair around with skill and satisfaction, greeting aides and patients by name, and welcoming newcomers.His Christian faith was both traditional and trans-denominational. Born into a Congregational family in Brooklyn, NY, he joined one of New York City's finest Episcopal boy choirs, St Paul's in-the-Village-of-Flatbush, and there learned to play the pipe organ. He continued his organ studies at
Princeton University
under Carl Weinrich, one of America's leading organists, while earning a cum laude degree in electrical engineering. Tom's dream was to build pipe organs, but for practical reasons he chose to work as an engineer, project manager and computer scientist with General Electric for forty-four years to support a career as organist and choirmaster. Over the decades he was organist at the First United Methodist Church in Pittsfield, St Paul's Episcopal Church in Stockbridge, First Congregational Church in North Adams, St Mark's Catholic Church in Pittsfield, the National Shrine of the Catholic Church in Stockbridge, and jointly at St Theresa's and St Mary's churches in Pittsfield. Tom's personal saint was the great Lutheran baroque organist and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, whose music inspired Tom through his lifetime. He was a ninth-generation organist in direct line of instructional succession from Bach, which included Charles-Marie Widor of Paris, Marcel Dupre, and Carl Weinrich--an aristocracy of apostles for J. S. Bach, which includes Carlton Maaia II, Tom's leading organ student, at First Church, Pittsfield. The first Dean of the Berkshire AGO Chapter, Tom was a member of the AGO for nearly sixty years. He became Chairman of the AGO's Region 1 (New England) Annual Convention of organists, which was hosted by the Berkshire Chapter in Pittsfield in 1997. He founded and directed the Berkshire Organ Academy, the Berkshire Schola Cantorum, and the North County Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols. He also composed and arranged music, and published articles in the Organ Institute Quarterly. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor, founder of the Stockbridge Summer Music Festival, and by his brother, Richard H. Frost and his wife, Barbara, his sister Elizabeth F. Buck and her husband, Alfred S. Buck, MD, and five nieces and nephews and their children. FUNERAL NOTICE: A memorial service with special music will be held at First Church, Pittsfield, on June 14 at 11 a.m. followed by a reception in the church parlor.

'We will overcome': Arson and mourning at Jerusalem's bilingual school
The mixed Jewish-Arab school has been the target of racist attacks in the past, but for the parents, students and teachers of the 'Hand in Hand' school, this feels different. 'This time, the fire was ignited inside our home.' The timing couldn't have been more "perfect": while I was still at a demonstration against the "Jewish Nation-State Law" outside the Prime Minister's Office, I got a message saying that the bilingual school was set on fire. Here we were demonstrating against political arson, and not too far away someone is already doing it with gasoline and matches. This time, the…Read More... | 18 Comments

Ranked Is F**ked up
Today i was duoing with my friend and one of the guys in there called mid. i called support and my friend said adc. it was all good till the 2nd pick autolocked mid and said he doesn't get priority over second pick when the original mid was 3rd pick. the 3rd pick then autolocked mid as well and said "fine duo mid". No one left or anything and then the fourth pick switched his summoners spells to revive and surge. i left the game really pissed. i thought ranked wouldnt have that many trolls. its so messed up when people do that. ived gotten that happen to me quiet alot of times now. the ranekd system need to be changed
you would have lost anyway because usually those people dead set on getting 1 role suck
I've learned this:
A lot of people who autolock are basically saying "I suck at everything, but I suck slightly less at this role."
play how you like and they play how they like its a game after all
i feel you
so many trolls...
rule #1 about ranked low elo: never let randoms have what they want if it conflicts with what you want, just dodge if you have to
so so many times ive been in champion select, i say id like top or mid or what have you only to have someone else "call" these roles and what happens? 0/3 destroyed top turret by 8 minutes in
The second guy who autolocked mid wanted someone to queue dodge. I doubt he would have let the game load.
I had the same experience in a game today, except first pick was duoing with last pick. And last pick called mid after our second pick said "Mid if first pick doesn't want." So first pick picked his AD carry and second pick locked in mid. Then last pick auto locked in mid anyways and trolled the entire game. I've played almost 1000 ranked games and rarely does this happen. In fact this is the first time this kind of thing has happened to me in probably 2-3 weeks.
By the time you start playing ranked you should be able to play any lane, yeah one lane might be your best lane but you should know how to play a few champions in every other lane. If you go into draft mode expecting to get to play the lane you want with a bunch of random people you are going to be in for a rude awakening when people do not roll over backwards to accommodate you.
If people troll in character select they are just trying to get others to dodge.

As It Stands, Ubuntu Has No Issues With Mono
Published on 30 June 2009 02:22 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
30 Comments
On behalf of Canonical and the Ubuntu Technical Board, Scott James Remnant has issued a position statement surrounding Mono, the open-source project that provides a C# compiler for Linux (along with other operating systems) and other components for a free software .NET stack. However, the legality of Mono is frequently a key concern to free software advocates considering patents and other intellectual property that's owned by Microsoft. Richard Stallman has also referred to the use of Mono as "dangerous" due to such possible legal troubles that could ultimately kill this open-source project, which is owned by Novell, if such a situation ever cropped up. With these concerns coming up, the Ubuntu Technical Board has decided to reaffirm its position with Mono.
Mono is an integral part of Ubuntu with F-Spot, Tomboy, and other applications on the Ubuntu Linux desktop depending upon its C# / .NET implementation. At this time though, the Ubuntu Project has no problems with Mono and will continue having it be part of their main package set. With Ubuntu and other free software projects having not yet received any legal notices of infringements from Microsoft or other IP stakeholders, they see no problem with Mono continuing to be part of Ubuntu.

ENSO Wrap-Up
Current state of the Pacific and Indian Ocean
Tropical cyclone activity may lead to further ocean warming
Issued on 17 March 2015 | Product Code IDCKGEWW00
The past fortnight has seen unusual conditions in the tropical Pacific, which may increase the chance of El Niño in 2015.
In the western Pacific, severe tropical cyclone Pam and tropical storm Bavi* straddled the equator, producing one of the strongest reversals in the trade winds in recent years. This change is expected to increase the already warm sub-surface temperatures currently observed in the tropical Pacific Ocean, which may in turn raise tropical Pacific Ocean surface temperatures in the coming months. However, it remains too early to say whether the reversal in the trade winds is a short term fluctuation or the beginning of a sustained trend.
International models surveyed by the Bureau have strengthened their outlooks for the likelihood of El Niño, with all eight models suggesting ocean temperatures will exceed El Niño thresholds by mid-year. However, model outlooks spanning the traditional ENSO transition period, February to May, generally have lower accuracy than outlooks made at other times of year.
The Bureau's ENSO Tracker remains at El Niño WATCH. This is due to a combination of warmer-than-average sub-surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean and models indicating that central and eastern tropical Pacific will warm to El Niño thresholds by mid-year. An El Niño WATCH indicates that there is about a 50% chance of El Niño forming in 2015—double the normal likelihood of an event.
El Niño is often associated with below-average winter–spring rainfall over eastern Australia and above-average daytime temperatures over the southern half of Australia.
Next update expected on 31 March 2015 | print version
*Note: On the Australian tropical cyclone scale Bavi would rate as a category 1 tropical cyclone.

- Weekly sea surface temperatures
Compared to two weeks ago, warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies have decreased across nearly the entire equatorial Pacific. Severe tropical cyclone Pam cooled waters in parts of the western Pacific during the past week. The SST anomaly map for the week ending 15 March shows warm anomalies in the tropical Pacific between about 160°E and 140°W, while cool anomalies are evident along parts of the equator in the eastern equatorial Pacific and small areas of the far western equatorial Pacific north of Australia. In a large part of the central equatorial Pacific temperatures are near average for this time of the year.
Warm anomalies remain across a large part of the northeast of the Pacific Basin. Waters are also warmer than average to Australia�s east, extending generally between the coast and the Date Line, and to Australia�s west, extending across large parts of the Indian Ocean.
- Monthly sea surface temperatures
The SST anomaly map for February shows warmer than average waters over large areas of the Pacific. These areas include the tropical Pacific west of about 160°W, much of the northeast of the Pacific Basin, and the Tasman Sea. Warmer waters also persist across large parts of the Indian Ocean.
Compared to January, positive anomalies had decreased slightly in the eastern equatorial Pacific and increased slightly in the western equatorial Pacific.
Baseline period 1961–1990. Index January February Temperature change NINO3 +0.3 +0.2 0.1 °C cooler NINO3.4 +0.5 +0.5 no change NINO4 +0.9 +1.0 0.1 °C warmer
- 5-day sub-surface temperatures
The sub-surface temperature map for the 5 days ending 15 March shows temperatures are near average across most of the shallow sub-surface of the equatorial Pacific, with an area of warm anomalies present in the central Pacific between 100 m and 200 m depth. This pool of warmer-than-average water has progressed eastward over recent weeks (this is known as a downwelling Kelvin wave). Anomalies in the centre of this region exceeded +4 °C.
- Monthly sub-surface temperatures
The four-month sequence of sub-surface temperature anomalies (to February) shows cool anomalies have decreased in the sub-surface of the eastern equatorial Pacific, compared to last month, while warm anomalies have increased in the western and central equatorial Pacific sub-surface. Overall, the pattern of warm and cool anomalies has shifted slightly eastward compared to January.
For February, warm anomalies were present in the top 200 m of the equatorial Pacific sub-surface between about 150°E and 140°W. Anomalies in western parts of this region reached more than +2.5 °C. Cool anomalies were present in much of the top 150 m of the equatorial Pacific sub-surface east of 140°W, with anomalies reaching more than −2.5 °C in the far eastern part of this area.
- Southern Oscillation Index
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has decreased over the past two weeks, but remains within neutral values. The latest 30-day SOI value to 15 March is −2.8. It is common for tropical weather systems to cause the SOI to fluctuate during the first quarter of the year, especially if a tropical low or cyclone was to pass near either Darwin or Tahiti. Recent tropical activity is likely to see these fluctuations continue for the immediate future.
Sustained positive values of the SOI above +8 may indicate La Niña, while sustained negative values below −8 may indicate El Niño. Values of between about +8 and −8 generally indicate neutral conditions.
- Trade winds
Trade winds were weaker than average over the tropical Pacific west of the Date Line for the 5 days ending 15 March (see map). A reversal of wind direction has been observed in the far western tropical Pacific; westerly winds have been observed in parts of this area for about five weeks now with recent very strong westerlies driven by tropical cyclone Pam and tropical storm Bavi.
Bursts of westerly winds over the equatorial Pacific can induce warming of the ocean below by driving downwelling Kelvin waves, which travel eastward as a 'pulse' of warmer-than-average water and warm the surface and sub-surface of the ocean.
Trade winds in the central tropical Pacific east of the Date Line were near average, and slightly stronger than average in the eastern tropical Pacific.
During La Niña there is a sustained strengthening of the trade winds across much of the tropical Pacific, while during El Niño there is a sustained weakening of the trade winds.
- Data Source:
- TAO/TRITON data
- Time-longitude wind anomalies
- Cloudiness near the Date Line
Cloudiness near the Date Line has returned to near-average values during recent days, after having been above average for the first half of March. This fluctuation was likely due to the effects of tropical cyclone Pam and tropical storm Bavi.
Cloudiness along the equator, near the Date Line, is an important indicator of ENSO conditions, as it typically increases (negative OLR anomalies) near and to the east of the Date Line during El Niño and decreases (positive OLR anomalies) during La Niña.
- Model outlooks
All of the eight surveyed international climate models favour warming of central Pacific Ocean SSTs over the coming months. All surveyed models indicate that NINO3.4 will reach El Niño threshold levels by mid-year, with the majority of models suggesting a prolonged period of sustained warming of sea surface temperatures.
Model outlooks spanning February to May (the traditional ENSO transition period) have lower confidence than forecasts made at other times of year. Many models currently show a substantial spread in their outlooks for tropical Pacific Ocean temperatures, indicating that while further warming is very likely, the degree of warming is not yet well constrained.
- Indian Ocean Dipole
The latest weekly value of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index to 15 March is 0.0 °C. Climate models surveyed in the model outlooks favour a continuation of a neutral phase of the IOD until at least mid-year.
The IOD typically has little influence on Australian climate from December to April. During this time of year, establishment of negative or positive IOD patterns is largely inhibited by the development and position of the monsoon trough in the southern hemisphere.

"Worst. Narrator. Ever."
I can handle almost any narrator, but this one takes the cake as the worst. All the male voices were made to sound like idiots and all the females came off as just silly. The narration was so overwhelmingly bad the story was completely ruined. The Bride Quartet is a good change of pace to have a Nora Roberts series that stuck straight to the romance, without crime or supernatural (although I enjoy those as well).
"Great performance as always by Susan Ericksen"
How did I miss this little gem? I've had this in my wish list for a while, but didn't notice that Susan Ericksen was the narrator. As usual, her performance is spot on! I was a little disappointed with the conclusion of the book, but only because I wished it had gone on a little more. All the elements were great, the dialogue and scenes were imaginative and described to perfection, however, many of the story lines that are spun don't get wrapped up in most of Nora's novels, High Noon being no exception. However, Nora always makes me laugh, sometimes cry and I would definitely recommend listening to this book!
"A good start to the Born In Series"
I really enjoyed Born in Shame as well as the other 2 books in the series. Having a natural Irish voice for a series set in Ireland makes the listening easy and enjoyable & Fiacre Douglas does an amazing job making the story come to life. Nora Roberts does not disappoint in her descriptive writing, as I can picture the main character in all her different surroundings. The romance is not unrealistic; both characters are very believable. Definitely my favorite of the Born in Series.
"Excellent narration, story gets a little lost"
I enjoyed listening to Joyce Bean narrate so much so that I looked up other titles she has performed. Angels Fall is a good story, but it gets a little lost in the lengthy descriptions of all the main character's issues (paranoia, OCD etc.). The ending is not unexpected, but it is confusing. I'm still not quite sure how it all panned out. Usually Nora Roberts is much more on point with descriptive storylines, but I feel this story fell a little short.

Where and how to grow Southern Catalpa trees?
I received seeds of this tree and got excellent results by winter sowing them. They are growing very fast and I have repotted them up into gallon size pots.
We live in the mountains, 1700-1900 elevation and I'm hoping I can grow them here.
Can someone tell me more about this tree? Does it need sunshine? How tall and wide and is it fast growing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I've never grown one myself, but it's my impression that catalpas are pretty tough to kill. Here's some links to info below -- enjoy your trees!
Thanks for the excellent links. I probably will be able to find a sunny spot for a couple or three and maybe some of my neighbors would like the rest. I'm really glad to find out that the Southern Catalpa is a bit smaller than the Northern one.
Thanks again for the quick response.
They will often have a small yellow and black caterpillaer on them which makes excellent fish bait. The caterpiller eats the catalpa leaves, but seems to leave everything else alone. I'm not positive, but I believe these Catalpa worms only survive on Catalpa trees.....kind of like koala bears that can only eat eucalyptus leaves.
They will be a medium sized tree, perhaps 40 feet tall and 20-30 feet wide at maturity. The blooms are attractive, too. Nice tree.
Thanks April. Do you have any idea what the caterpillar turns into? I would be very happy if the Catalpa tree is the host plant for a butterfly. We have lots of tulip poplars so we do have lots of Swallowtails. I've increased my flower garden about double in size this year and planted lots of butterfly host plants, especially those necessary to become certified as a Monarch Waystation.
I can attest for the caterpillars being good fish bait. My dad and his brother planted a few of the trees, but if I remember correctly, they had to order the first batch of worms.
But now, even 25+ years later, there are still worms every year.
Joe could you sponge off of your Dad and hook me up with a couple of bags full!!!! The Catfish go freakin' nuts over 'em.
Marty I can't get Tim off his lazy rear to come over there and get one of the Catalpa's. Is there any chance that you could bring it to the Swap or is that too much trouble? The only reason we want one is for the caterpillars. How old or how established does the tree need to be before they infest it? Can we take some from another tree, stick 'em on the new one and let nature take over?
Hey Jeff. I'll check when I get to my mom's house the day before the swap. (if it's not dark) Not sure if they are hatched yet, and if they are they are probably tiny. Unless you have a tree to transplant them to, I doubt they'd be much good for fishing yet.
Raney, I live about 35 miles SW of Nashville. Is that anywhere near you? Or, are you going to the Middle TN Plant Swap? I'll be there.
Hey Jeff, I'll bring that tree if I get a working truck. Mine died... I took it in for an oil change and they killed it. :( Of course, it had upwards of 300,000 miles on it, so it had earned its rest, I reckon. But the timing is horrible, right in the middle of spring design/installation jobs. Oh well, I needed a full size truck anyway.
Marty, think I'm about 45 mi SE of Nashville. About halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga on Cagle Mtn. When is the Middle TN Plant Swap? I know it's May but don't remember the date and we have so much going on next month. Sure would love to come and bring you a Southern Catalpa.
When I was a kid in north Lousiana (Monroe) there was a street named Catalpa, with blocks and blocks of Catalpa trees, big ones. They were supposed to have sprouted from fence posts when the area was a large farm. We used to love to beat the wasps to the Catalpa worms, and use them for bream or catfish bait. Gooie and messy, for boy fishermen only.
Catalpas are not all that common as nursery plants. They are considered by many to be weedy or less-desirable. They grow very quickly, so are weak wooded and generally short-lived. That doesn't mean you shouldn't want one! It's just that you may not be able to find them locally.
Since they are so fast growing, they can be easily and quickly grown from seed too, so you may want to consider that option. Here are some mail-order sources, including Garden Watchdog ratings and web addresses:
Arrowhead Alpines (so-so G.WD. rating)(www.arrowheadalpines.com) has a couple of different types.
The Fragrant Path (decent G.WD. rating)(fragrantpathseeds.com) has seeds for five types.
Gossler Farms Nursery (decent G.WD. rating)(gosslerfarms.com) has one type.
F. W. Schumacher (very good G.WD. rating)(www.treeshrubseeds.com)has seeds for one species
Forestfarm (good G.WD. rating)(www.forestfarm.com/) has eight types.
Musser Forests (good G.WD. rating)(www.musserforests.com) has one type.
Sheffield's (very good G.WD. rating)(sheffields.com) has seeds for three species.

We enjoyed eating here and watching the world go by. Our meals were always good and they served a wide range of quick bites - salads, burgers, etc.
We were walking down the main waterfront street of Maiori when a sudden shower started. Luckily, we were passing by Tony's at the time and we took a table under one of their large umbrellas. We had coffee and some deliciously decadent dessert. Recomended.
Tony is a lovely man, but cannot make an American cocktail. despite an extensive cocktail menu He didn't understand what a "dirty martini" was (even though I said it in Italian), the fact that a gimlet requires an onion or even the slightest concept of a Cosmo. None the less, when we did not have a small bill to tip...
Salads were good but on the higher side. The hamburgers were servered with French fries inside the bun....Was good & the service and location is terrific!
We had coffee every morning at Tony's.
Service is very good and fast.
Once we had a lunch and really enjoyed it.
We called in for a drink and discovered a typical Italian bar with the addition of a great international beer menu. As always in Italy, we were offered snacks - but what snacks, mini pizzas, olives, a sort of omelette. On our second visit a completely different array was offered.
We ate on our second visit, for me a superb...
Open late mix a mean cocktail , staff are friendly and attentive play real good music mix ofnenglish and Italian tunes
great to eat place and drink we used Tonys a lot and will again.We had dinner here which was great as well as lunch and the food is excellent, night cap was always our way to end a day in here and they make a good drink, well worth going to.
Had lunch & dinner few times at Tony's during our holiday in Maiori and I loved it!! Very good choice of Mixed Salads and rolls as well as delicious seafood plates. Great atmosphere and very polite stuff.
I would highly recommend it !!
We went to this restaurant quite a lot in the first week of our holiday, the boys liked the food and to be honest, it was nice, but the 2 young girls were so miserable, it got to the stage where I refused to go there again, instead we went to Eldorado, they smiled there!

Where are you Moni?
Are you and Bongo on a bike ride?
Oh, for heavens sake NO! It is way to HOT. Around here, Oklahoma is on fire. Really bad, the amount of houses that have burned in the Luther area, as well as down near Noble. There are also fires near Drumwright, and near Geary.
It is just awful. I found myself glued to the TV, but finally had to turn it off.
Oh man I remember the days of watching for fires and having the hoses ready to wet down the house.
Any in Norman?
I need to call some of my friends to make sure they are ok.
Mother in law is closer to Ardmore but they have had their history with fire too.
I have y'all in my prayers.
Bless those poor firefighters.
Stay safe!
They are way south and way north from me, I'm around 23rd & Portland area.
It's so scary how quickly it happens and it's out of control.
Most of those people were at work and couldn't get home. They did try to save as many pets as they could find. That's my biggest fear, my dogs.
Stay safe and aware.

Global Television Puts Wohler's Audio and Video Monitoring Systems at Heart of Australia's Most Advanced OB Units
HAYWARD, Calif. â Nov. 4, 2008 â PANORAMAdtv, the video products division of Wohler Technologies Inc., today announced that Australia's Global Television is installing Wohler audio and video monitoring equipment in two new state-of-the-art HD OB trucks. Wohler's compact HD/SD monitoring solutions will simplify high-resolution audio and video monitoring of Global Television's programming, which includes many of the country's highest profile reality, entertainment, and sports programs.
"As the first units in Australia to deploy 3Gb/s ready infrastructure, our new HD trucks represent leading-edge broadcast technologies," said Terry Manley, chief engineer at Global Television. "The Wohler equipment is an optimal fit, enabling robust and flexible monitoring of digital audio and high-resolution video while taking up very little space in our truck. Space, power, and weight savings are critical to cost-effective mobile production, and Wohler's monitoring solutions meet all these requirements while offering the premium performance our clients demand in HD production."
The extensive installation of Wohler gear within the Global Television OB trucks includes MON series rackmount LCD HD/SD video monitors, along with Wohler's digital audio monitoring bridges for HD/SD video and digital audio monitoring. The compact yet flexible design of Wohler's MON high-resolution display monitors is ideal for confidence monitoring of multiple video feeds in mobile applications where space is at a premium.
The MON4-2W/HR features four side-by-side 4.3-inch wide-format LCD panels, each with dedicated recessed controls for contrast and brightness, native 16:9 aspect ratio, and selection between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios for SD-SDI signals, as well as tally indicators and independent power and input termination switches. Each LCD is mounted in a cylinder and thus may be rotated approximately ±30 degrees in the vertical plane for optimum operator viewing angles.
A total of nine MON4-2W/HR HD/SD rackmount LCD video monitors are being installed in each truck, providing 36 individual widescreen displays in just 18 RU. These units will support the bulk of Global Television's video monitoring activity. Seven MON1-T/7W-HR 7-inch high-resolution HD/SD monitors will be mounted adjacent to Tektronix Waveform Monitors in a Tektronix tub to facilitate detailed signal analysis.
Each OB truck will be equipped with 14 of Wohler's AMP1-S8MDA HD/SD embedded audio monitoring bridges and a single E MON-1/M audio bridge with built in Dolby® E decoding. The AMP1-S8MDA is a complete audio monitoring solution capable of monitoring audio from HD-SDI, SD-SDI, AES/EBU, and analog signal sources. The 1RU system processes and monitors up to eight channels from an HD-SDI or SD-SDI bit stream, two sets of four AES/EBU signal pairs (balanced and unbalanced), or eight balanced analog channels. Eight high-resolution 26-segment tricolor LED bar-graph audio-level meters provide accurate and instantaneous visual level monitoring at a glance.
Sydney-based Quinto Communications supplied the Wohler gear for Global Television. "This will be the largest deployment of Wohler monitoring equipment in an OB environment within Australia," said Tom Pavicic, general manager of Quinto Communications.
The first of the two HD OB units will hit the road by the end of 2008, and the second will be completed in early 2009.

Meet Salsa's senior management team. They are the leadership that shape Salsa as an organization, and believe it or not, they aren't just a bunch of suits.
Scott is a serial entrepreneur. And, some say, serial challenger of the status quo. Throughout his career, Scott has shown a talent for leading organizations like Salsa through periods of rapid growth. After successfully running Visual Networks, Optinuity and most recently Grodo, Scott says leading the talented team at Salsa perfectly matches his drive for change. He sees the potential for citizen engagement to redefine our society. As CEO, Scott will ensure Salsa continues to efficiently and effectively deliver products that are high quality, stable, and profoundly impactful while still providing a world class support experience for our clients.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
With more than 20 years in technology solutions and consulting, Blake comes equipped with hands-on knowledge of sales, consulting, product management and marketing. For the last 10 years, he has narrowed his focus to how Internet technologies can help nonprofit organizations, and prior to joining Salsa, he held positions at Convio and Charity Dynamics. Before his work with nonprofit organizations, Blake held consulting and product management positions at IBM's eBusiness Unit, Netscape, Sun Microsystems and America Online. He graduated with a B.S. in Marketing from Texas A&M and his M.B.A. from The American Graduate School of International Management.
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
Alex oversees all things technical at Salsa, from product management to applications development to systems operations. He also serves as the bridge between the technical staff and other areas of Salsa. And, with more than 18 years experience, you may sleep well at night knowing he's got your back. With expertise in integrating technology with tactical and strategic business goals and a MS in Software Development and Management from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Alex has no trouble translating your needs into Salsa to ensure success.
"Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy."
Don't let Bob's title and glasses fool you, he brings an energetic, fun approach to Salsa that make him a perfect fit on the team. His experience as a CFO for technology companies like Reality Mobile, SkyBitz and Anystream and his no nonsense approach to leadership make him a key member of the senior management team. Bob and his team work closely with everyone at Salsa to make certain we are keeping costs low and efficiency high – two very important objectives in order to meet our mission of making technology effective for nonprofits to build community without depleting their resources.
"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."
Ross oversees sales operations at Salsa. He holds a BS in Business Administration from Drexel University in Philadelphia and has spent the last 20 years building his experience in business development and sales operations management. He has held positions with YellowBrix, Inc., Vocus and bigdough.com. Most recently, he served as the VP of sales at InfinityQS International where he created the strategies and implemented the systems to grow the company to a level that afforded them the ability to pledge $1 million to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Ross is married with three children and a dog. His family is passionate about the grassroots movement Decoding Dyslexia Virginia.

Free Enterprise Motivational Quotes
Owning: 5WPR, a leading US PR Agency which I started alone less than 10 years ago it has been constant hard work.: Nothing comes easy — and having President Obama it seems even harder to succeed, as this administration seems to embrace a class-warfare philosophy.
For many like myself who need some motivation some inspirational quotes on free enterprise:
- "Free enterprise runs on self interest. This is socialism and it runs on loyalty . . . if people were going to live by comparison shopping, the town would go bust . . . If you live there you have to take it as a whole. That's loyalty." Garrison Keillor,: Lake: Wobegon: Days
- : "A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on mood" Barbara Ehrenreich
- "Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon." Winston Churchill
- "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Winston Churchill
- "Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity, not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home." Marco Rubio
- "A great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another." Milton Friedman
- "In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other." Voltaire
- "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." P.J. O'Rourke (1993)
- "Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands are properly his." John Locke, 1690
- "It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty." Albert Einstein
- "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." Mark Twain

While the holidays are a time for feasting and celebrating, it's still important to eat healthy. To help our community enjoy winter holiday meals that will not put them "under the weather," dieticians from New York Methodist Hospital's Department of Food and Nutrition Services suggest the recipe that follows. Even though this heart-healthy entrée is low in fat, calories and sodium, it's still a tasty main dish. The fresh thyme enhances the flavor of the meat, while the juices from the fruit slices ensure that the turkey will be juicy and tender.
Citrus and Herb Turkey Breast
1 large carrot, cut into thick slices 1/2 tsp. salt 1 large celery rib, roughly diced 8-10 fresh thyme sprigs 1 large leek, sliced thin, lengthwise 4 thin lemon slices 1 large onion, cut into small chunks 2 thin orange slices 1 small whole turkey breast, with ribs Canola oil spray 1 cup fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth
1. Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bottom of a roasting pan, arrange the carrots, celery, leek and onion to serve as a bed for the turkey. 2. Slide one hand under the turkey breast skin near the neck and gently pry it from the meat. Use the other hand to gently lift up the skin until all the breast skin is loosened from the meat.
3. Sprinkle the salt on the exposed breast meat, then add the thyme. On one side of the breast, insert a lemon slice, slipping it to the back. Add an orange slice to the same side, then a second lemon slice, keeping the herbs underneath the citrus. Repeat on the other side of the breast. Gently pull the loosened skin back in place and pat it down so it almost reaches the neck.
4. Coat the skin with cooking spray and set the breast on the bed of vegetables. Place the pan on the oven rack and add broth. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees. Remove the breast to a platter and let it rest 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, pour the juices from the pan into a measuring cup. Chill to allow fat to rise. Transfer vegetables to a blender and purée. Skim the congealed fat and stir in the vegetable juice, then reheat.
6. Remove the skin, citrus and herbs from the turkey and carve into slices to serve with juices.
Recipe yields six servings. Each serving provides: Calories 180; Protein 36 g; Sodium 358 mg; Carbohydrate 6 g; Dietary Fiber 1 g; Total Fat 1 g; Saturated Fat 0 gram.

Citing an increasing need to ensure safety, security and stewardship of Arctic waters, member countries of the Arctic Council gathered at U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters

Winnings at Louisiana casinos hold steady
Published: May 19,2010
Tags: casinos, gaming, hospitality
ACROSS LOUISIANA — Winnings from gamblers at Louisiana's state-licensed casinos last month were virtually unchanged from April 2009 as tough economic times continued to put a pinch on players' wallets.
In April, the 13 riverboat casinos, Harrah's downtown New Orleans casino and the four casinos at horse racing tracks won $200.5 million, down 1 percent from $202.6 million in April 2009, state police reported yesterday. The riverboats won $135.7 million, Harrah's took in $32 million and the track casinos won $32.8 million.
The latest tally was down 2.9 percent from the $206.5 million lost by players in March, which has one more day in the month.
There are mixed signals from casino states about how strong the business may be rebounding from the lowest point of the economic meltdown. After posting double-digit losses in monthly comparisons in 2009, New Jersey reported April revenue from Atlantic City casinos was down only 0.7 percent from April 2009, while Nevada said its casino winnings in a March-to-March comparison — the latest available — fell only 0.6 percent.
But in neighboring Mississippi, which is dealing with increased competition from tribal casinos in Florida, the March-to-March comparison was down 8.6 percent.
Earlier this month, the American Gaming Association, in reporting a national state-licensed revenue decline of 5.5 percent for 2009, said its studies showed that commercial casino visitors equaled more than a quarter of the United States population last year, but they spent less and risked less while they were there.
The AGA said the casino industry would remain in a pinch until people had more discretionary income.
Among Louisiana's casino markets in April:
— The Shreveport-Bossier City area, with five riverboats and the Louisiana Downs casino, won $64 million last month, down slightly from $64.8 million in April 2009. That market has faced increasing competition for Texas gamblers from tribal nation casinos in Oklahoma.
— The Texas-sensitive Lake Charles market, with three riverboats and the Delta Downs track casino, took in $52.1 million last month, down a bit from $52.9 million in April 2009. Last month, Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. scrapped its plans for a second riverboat-hotel in that market and returned the gambling license to the state.
— The New Orleans market, with Harrah's, two riverboats and the Fair Grounds track casino, won $55.4 million last month, up slightly from $54 million in April 2009.
— At the two riverboats in Baton Rouge, players lost $16.3 million in April, down from $17.9 million in April 2009. Even though Pinnacle abandoned its expansion plans in Lake Charles, the Las Vegas-based company is continuing with plans for a third floating casino in Baton Rouge.
— The lone riverboat in the Morgan City area took in $4.4 million last month, unchanged from April 2009.
— The Evangeline Downs track casino at Opelousas won $8.2 million in April, down from $8.6 million in April 2009.
The figures do not include three Indian reservation casinos in Louisiana, which are not required to report their winnings to the public.
