Gold turns red-hot in China
BEIJING ---- A bit player only a decade ago, China has emerged as one of the most important forces in the global gold market, helping fuel the rising value of the precious metal.
Already the world's largest producer --- it overtook South Africa in 2007 ---- China is now bedecking itself in bling. It's on track to become the globe's largest consumer of gold as early as this year, knocking off India ---- whose elaborate wedding dowries kept it on top for years.
Some of China's gold is going to its central bank as the government quietly boosts reserves. But the biggest driver is Chinese consumers. They're snapping up jewelry, coins and bars as a hedge against inflation and to flaunt their rising wealth.
To witness the frenzy firsthand, head to Beijing's Caishikou Department Store, a four-story gold emporium that rang up sales of $1.5 billion last year. Visitors be warned: Sharpen your elbows and be ready to push.
To buy a necklace, shopper Wang Li recently fought her way through a scrum of cash-waving customers hanging over a glass counter loaded with gold chains, Mao pins, pendants of Christ on the cross and more.
"I thought about buying Swarovski crystal, but I don't think it will ever be as valuable as gold," said Wang, a 24-year-old teacher who treats herself to a new piece of yellow-metal jewelry about once a month. "Besides, I like how feminine gold makes me feel."
On another floor, customer Zhang Li waited in line to purchase gold bars, an investment he describes as the only safe bet left for ordinary Chinese.
"If I had invested in stocks or property last year, I would have lost money," said Zhang, 36.
Chinese demand reached nearly 770 metric tons last year, up 20 percent from the year before, according to the World Gold Council in London. Desire for the yellow metal is so strong that China is buying record amounts from abroad because its mines can't keep pace. China imported more gold than India in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Analysts said strong demand from China is a factor in gold's recent run-up.
"There's no doubt that China will eventually be No. 1," said Jeff Clark, a senior precious metals analyst for Casey Research in Stowe, Vt. "Our jaws have been dropping at the volumes being imported for over a year now."
Gold for centuries has been a store of wealth and a symbol of good fortune in China.
But China's heavyweight status in the gold market is more recent. In 2002 the central government lifted controls and set up the Shanghai Gold Exchange, allowing the metal to be priced by market forces.
In addition, Chinese consumers eventually were allowed to purchase bullion through commercial banks. Today China accounts for 26 percent of global gold demand, up from 6 percent a decade ago.
"Chinese demand has traded positions with the U.S. in the last decade," said Albert Cheng, Far East managing director of the World Gold Council. "It's very clear the gold market is moving east."

December 5, 2012
LIMA Ś Viva Maria pizza owner Dominic Fricano has been missing for nearly a week now, with law enforcement and friends no closer to figuring out what may have happened to him.
Detectives from the Allen County Sheriffĺs Office have checked more than 50 tips, but they still have no leads.
ôWeĺre doing the same thing we would do with any [missing persons] case,ö said Lt. Clyde Breitigan, Sheriffĺs Office detective. ôWeĺve checked his financials. Weĺve checked his phone. Weĺve checked every possibility. Weĺve issued some subpoenas for some records we want to look at. Weĺve talked to a dozen different law enforcement agencies. A statewide broadcast was put out for him. A federal broadcast was put out for him, both him and the vehicle. Itĺs just standard missing persons stuff.ö
Fricano, 55, hasnĺt been seen nor heard from since Friday morning, after he left the Lima Mall pizza shop to run a brief errand before the lunchtime rush. He had the previous dayĺs earnings with him, likely intending to drop them off at the bank. He was driving a white 2004 Chevy Express, a cargo van. The van has not been located, either.
The FBI was notified about Fricanoĺs disappearance to ôput out feelers for us in different areas that he has past history with,ö Breitigan said.
He previously owned pizza shops in Ada and in upstate New York. He and his wife, Susan Fricano, had also managed a restaurant at the Lost Creek Country Club in Bath Township. At this point, the FBI isnĺt actively searching for him.
Breitigan assured that theyĺve been doing everything they can to try to find Fricano, even though everything theyĺve done canĺt be released.
ôTo go into every detail, I canĺt. And I wonĺt. Because I donĺt know whether thereĺs foul play or if he took off on his own. We just donĺt have a clue,ö he said.
An open group on Facebook called ôSearch for Dominic Fricanoö (http://j.mp/TIFEIO) boasted more than 6,300 members on Wednesday and itĺs growing quickly. But for Tammi Brown, a family friend whose daughter works at Viva Maria, sheĺs been frustrated because search parties have slowed since they began Sunday.
ôWe are still searching, but weĺve had a lack of response, so itĺs disheartening,ö said Brown, whoĺs led search parties around Delphos this week.
Fricanoĺs cellphone signal was last tracked in Delphos on Friday, so the search party decided to start looking in that area. She said there were about two dozen people searching along main roads and areas on Sunday, while only one person came to look on Wednesday. She wanted to continue the search toward Middle Point, but the manpower wasnĺt there to do so.
ôI refuse to give up. I just canĺt give up,ö Brown said. ôI wouldnĺt want someone to give up on me or my family.ö

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Broken Elbow
In this article
Broken Elbow Symptoms
If your elbow shows any of the following signs you may have a fracture or another injury that needs medical attention.
- Swelling of your elbow or in the area immediately above or below your elbow
- Deformity of your elbow, or the areas near your elbow
- Discoloration, such as bruising or redness of your elbow
- Difficulty moving your elbow through its complete range of motion
- Flexion and extension: You should be able to bend your elbow so that you can touch your shoulder with your fingertips. You also should be able to fully straighten your arm.
- Inward and outward rotation: When holding your arm at your side with your elbow flexed (bent) at 90°, you should be able to rotate your hand outward so that your palm faces the ceiling. In this same position, you should be able to rotate your hand inward so that your palm faces the floor.
- Numbness, decreased sensation, or a cool sensation of your forearm, hand, or fingers
- Three major nerves-the median, radial, and ulnar nerves-travel through your elbow. A serious injury may damage these nerves.
- Many blood vessels also pass through your elbow. These important vessels may become injured or compressed when trauma or swelling occurs.
- A cut, or open wound, on the elbow after a traumatic injury
- Severe pain after an elbow injury
- A "tight sensation" in the area of your elbow or forearm
When to Seek Medical Care
An elbow fracture carries the risk of potentially serious and disabling complications. If you think your elbow may be fractured, you should seek medical attention at a hospital's emergency department immediately.
If you have only mild swelling, and no bruising, open wounds, or loss of feeling, you may consider calling a doctor prior to seeking emergency medical attention.
If your elbow shows any of the following problems after an injury to your arm, you should go to an emergency department.
- You have swelling at or near the elbow.
- You notice any deformity of the elbow or the areas near the elbow.
- If you have any doubts, compare your injured elbow to your uninjured one. If you have a new lump or bump, go to the emergency department.
- You hear or feel grinding, popping, or clicking as you move your elbow, wrist, or hand.
- Your elbow "catches" at the joint.
- Your normal elbow motion becomes limited.
- You see any discoloration of the elbow or areas near the elbow. A bluish, purplish, or blackish color may mean you are bleeding into, or near, your elbow. A reddish color may signal infection.
- You notice any numbness or tingling of any part of your arm, for instance, a "funny bone" feeling that doesn't go away
- Your forearm, wrist, or fingers feels "dead" and difficult or impossible to move normally.
- You have any significant pain in your elbow, forearm, wrist, or hand.
- You notice any color or temperature change in your forearm, wrist, or hand.
- Your wrist or hand is pale, cool, or bluish. You may have a blockage of blood flow in your injured elbow.
- You are bleeding around the elbow area.
- You should be able to easily perform the following motions without pain:
- Fully straighten your elbow
- Fully bend it so that your fingertips touch your shoulder
- Turn your palm completely toward the ceiling and toward the floor

The 9513 Last.fm Chart Update (6-07-09)
Ah, there's the George Strait push that I was expecting last week. Twenty-six people in The 9513 group decided to give King George a listen, making him the top artist of the week by a pretty large margin. Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakam were the closest, with 21 listeners apiece.
Kenny Chesney, who'd been largely absent from the Top 10 for the last month or so, showed up as the #5 artist with 19 listeners, along with Carrie Underwood. With this being June, perhaps people decided they needed to hear some tropical country songs about drinking on the beach and having fun in the summer sun. Personally, I'll throw in with the 11 people who listened to Jimmy Buffett (putting him at #40 along with Faith Hill, Joey + Rory, Big & Rich and Pat Green), but I've never understood why people needed a pseudo-Buffett when the original one is still touring and releasing pretty good music. Maybe Chesney's "Margaritaville" is still somewhere ahead in his career, and maybe he'll eventually write novels that will top the best-seller lists, create a line of snack foods and develop a chain of restaurants. It's pretty tough to capture the magic that allows Buffett to have a wildly successful, multi-faceted career despite having a grand total of three Top 10 songs in more than 35 years of making music. All things considered though, if we're given the choice of Kenny the Beach Bum or Kenny With the Sexy Tractor, I'll raise my margarita to the beach bum and wish him the best of luck.
Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift dominated the Top Albums chart, with Underwood's Some Hearts and Carnival Ride joining Swift's Fearless with 12 listeners apiece. In other news, the takeover of our group by teenaged girls is complete, and I'll be doing an extended feature on which Jonas Brother is cuter for my next update. Those of us with valid driver's licenses did contribute heavily to the rest of the Top 10, with two albums from Sugarland, two from Lee Ann Womack and one each from Dixie Chicks, Trisha Yearwood and Martina McBride. Fourteen albums had 8 listeners to tie for #12, including ones from Sara Evans, Julie Roberts, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, Lady Antebellum and Dierks Bentley. The Julie Roberts one seems awfully random, considering it was her 5-year-old debut album that charted. Did a bunch of people really need to listen to "Break Down Here," or is the iTunes shuffle feature starting to assert its own preferences?
The Top Tracks chart saw a couple of very familiar faces at the top with 8 listeners each, Sugarland with "It Happens" and Swift with "You Belong With Me." They were joined by newcomer David Nail and his single, "Red Light." It was the iTunes free download of the week, and one of the few instances where they deign to include a country artist in the program. We'll see how well it works for him. The last country freebie I remember is Gloriana's "Wild At Heart," and that's still on The 9513 charts, not to mention the Top 20 on the Billboard Charts. Also breaking up the SugarSwift monotony in the Top 5 was Reba McEntire's "Strange." The new album's coming out in 69 days, and I have a hunch about who's going to be dominating the charts for that week. The Top 10 also includes "Wagon Wheel" from the Old Crow Medicine Show in between all the TaylorLand songs, so kudos to the 6 people who gave that song a play.
5 Comments
Maybe the discussion at My Kind Of Country on Men & Mascara influenced the Julie Roberts listening?
I like these updates, it's cool to see what other people are listening to.
Kasey and Shane are back in the US. In Austin on 6-22!!
Break Down Here is one of those odd things. Lyrically, it is a great song. There have been a couple versions (Trace, etc) done but hers is the best. Most of her other output is pretty bland. Her, live, meh.
This is her one hit and it is a great performance. I think it will stay around for awhile.
Tony, I agree about "Break Down Here". The rest of her songs were dull to me, but "Break Down Here" was great.
According to iTunes, I've played "Wild at Heart" 70… make that 71 times since downloading it in March. I bet I'm one of the reasons why it's still on the 9513 charts. I would bet, however, that I'm probably the only one who's played Rick Vincent.

Wolf attacks are almost none existent. There are no old Eskimo storys that describe Wolves attacking anyone, and they are seen as a nonthreat up this way, and are very wary. Also, Bears are in hibernation and Wolverine never attack anyone either, but they will put up a staunch defence if caught raiding your stuffs ~~LOL!!~~ they are tough to kill, even in a trap.
Its not the Kill, it's the Chase.

Now those mosquitoes... East Texas ones are small and very fast (and I'm a Texican for sure.) Those up there I found were huge and slow. I'm an ace now with over 10 kills (and 3 probables) from my trip there.
It is a heck of a country. I know I went the easy route but then my whole family came and they wanted to go the tourist way. Sadly we saw more trinket salesmen than anything else.
One day I'll go back via the Alaskan inland waterway and rent a 4x4 and see the interior.

Once when fishing the Nushagak in southwest Alaska, I slapped the back of my hand and killed 20 or so. Just sayin'...They are not bad if you are in the wind or on the water, but take 20 steps into the bush and it is another matter.
Another note, after carefully watching the last two episodes back to back (thank you, Comcast), I have come to the conclusion that Sue's image was made more in the editing room than anywhere else. She strikes me as being cut from the same mold as a number of ranch women I have known in West Texas--but perhaps a bit less sociable. This sort of country tends to form strong, independent women that are capable of holding things together on their own without a man around to do the heavy lifting. My mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were all such women. Since these are all gone now, it is nice to have a reminder of the type.
May I deal with honor. May I act with courage. May I achieve humility.

I think Sue is important to this show. She is a clear, stark depiction of the kind of person who could live under her conditions. Her primal need for independence is rare given humans are social animals. Has me considering the possibility she experienced a deep betrayal in her past.
She is a part of Alaska, one of many parts we in the lower 48 are unlikely to experience. Another reason to appreciate the show.
BTW, Erik is seen with a sidearm on occasion. See attached.

Ericks 'sidearm'
The question was about bears etc - and Ericks sidearm is a Ruger .22 mark II [ I am pretty sure ].
Not exactly bear medicine,unless he shoots the cameraman and RUNS.
As to Sue's caustic personality,I am sorry but all the explanations don't wash for me.
Y'all like her then, enjoy.
Me I like people that can be alone and enjoy the silence - or leave and go someplace else.
I do note that only Erick is alone,unlike all the others shown [ cept for Sue ] and he seems like a very well adjusted person that handles the wilderness MUCH better than Sue.
And remember that Sue seems to not leave her 'compound' so she is not in the league of all the rest on that show = least that is my 'not so humble opinion'.

Yep, looks like Eric has a Ruger stainless .22!
Dr T,
Oh well, my $$ is all gone so no return to Alaska for a while! It's now 92 degrees where I'm at in Texas!
I just hope some liberals see the show and say the magic words 'Why.. and why not' and decide to become more an independent thinker and DOER!
And maybe that is what this show is all about. Standing on your own two feet and not at some government hog trough.

I've watched clips of Sue and she's not that unusual for an Alaskan woman living in the bush. I'm not sure what you folks are expecting. Soft spoken women in silken finery? I get the sense that she likes showing off, and the crew likely encourages her.

Alaska has been in the 80s. I was there on a cruise this year and still check the weather. My current dream is parlay my PhD in chemistry into a teaching opportunity of some kind.
RIP Loui Awerbuck. I will truly miss your insight, openness, humility, and training. The world is diminished by your passing.

We went up to Glacier Bay and that was about it.
Yea fly to Anchorage or Fairbanks and start from there. I hope the airports aren't like Seattle with those new sound 'x-rays' and such I had to put up with.. see I don't like being searched.
Yea there was alot of Alaska we didn't see. Something like 99.432 percent of it.

And if you are in Anchorage, I suggest that you at least check out the lobby in the Millenium Hotel close to the airport (the beer garden is under the final approach to the sea plane base. It is better than many natural history museums. (And the halibut chunks in bar were pretty good the last time I was there).

Sigh... why can't I go now? Oh yea, a wife! Knew there was something holding me back!
I sure won't go in December but I'd love to go back and go north this time. I looked at the map and saw how puny were were in visiting Alaska. Like going 50 miles in the Texas Panhandle and then turning back.
I'll have to settle for some Southwest Texas fun this summer, and maybe Crockett National Forrest. Hotter than heck but at lest one is in the wilds.

When we lived in AK (1969-76) a cheap way to see a lot of coastal AK, was the ferries of the Alaska Marine Highway System. More expensive to take vehicle, but allows one to do some driving in different locales.
Map of routes and video at link:
The Alaska Marine Highway
Watch Our Routes Video
Schedule icon
Watch our routes video to learn more about the regions and communities that you can explore along the Alaska Marine Highway.
With 656,425 square miles of rugged wilderness, scenic beauty and abundant wildlife, Alaska is a big place! Which means traveling in Alaska presents some unique opportunities. Unlike the 'lower 48' many of our communities are not accessible by a land based road system so in many areas the primary means of travel is by air or sea. The Alaska Marine Highway makes up a large part of our 'highway system' and is a route so special it has been designated National Scenic Byway and an All American Road, the only marine route with this designation.
From the southern terminus in Bellingham, Washington the Marine Highway stretches more than 3,500 miles to Dutch Harbor with stops in Prince Rupert, BC, throughout the Inside Passage, across the Gulf of Alaska to Prince William Sound and along the Aleutian Chain. The Alaska Marine Highway is the perfect way to experience the communities that populate Alaska's diverse and scenic coastline.

Ok question.
If on the Alaska Marine Highway from Seattle (if possible) can I carry my revolver with me?
Ok found some answers. It's ok on the ship as long as it is checked in BUT Canada is another matter. Must avoid it if I can!

Anyone who can legally carry a pistol, "can" carry it concealed, in Alaska. Concealed Carry laws are like Vermonts CC laws, as in if you can own it, you can carry it, resident or non.
But not in bars, or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, in court houses and on propertys that don't allow such, like airports and military bases, who can deny you entry. You must advise any police your in contact with that you are carrying concealed. That's about it.
If your touching Canada, things might be waaaaaay different.

The scenery in Alaska is a lot better than that in the first 50 miles of the Texas Panhandle. When I am going down the the ranch from Colorado on 287, the scenery doesn't get interesting for me until I get to Big Spring (since I don't take the time to make the detour to the canyon). That drive is the main reason I have a CCW.
Thanks, Cosmoline, for summing up my assessment of Sue. She is not that unlike many solitary women (and men) that prefer to be self-reliant rather cosseted by society.

Sue v/s Erick
HUGE difference between a man that is alone AND in the wildness,and a female [ I did not say Lady ] that is hunkered down safe [ reasonably ] and secure with food,water,HEAT,and lots of guns and ammo.
I just am of the opinion [ yes its a free country ] that you do not need to show a gruff exterior to any and all just because your a woman alone.
Most would get the idea that your more than capable if they see the guns all over the place [ that is a good idea IMNSHO ].
Drama is the only part of any show that I object to,and she is a drama queen.

Just a note on video production:
The power of editing and context are huge. If you have ever been quoted out of context, it is easy to understand how words and actions can be manipulated during the editorial process.
I would submit that if you take the right 10 minutes out of anyone's week, they can be made to look like an angel--or the opposite. The purpose of commercial video production (besides, as one person described the evening new years ago, "to sell soap") is to create a narrative that will keep the audience engaged long enough to look at the ads. If you closely examine these narratives, you will find that most have heroes and villains. Sometimes these are created in the editing room by careful selection of what is shown.

Folks who are alone (really alone) out there also tend to TALK TOO LOUDLY when they talk, and sometimes talk nervously because they don't get much practice and probably were never very sure of what do with other people. I remember one woman I knew in the sticks who would talk in aloud incessant voice and tell the same story over and over and over again.
There's a difference between the folks who live in villages with families and the folks sometimes called end-of-the-roaders who end up drifting into the state because we're too weird or out of place to operate in the lower 48.

Folks that live in remote villages or even in camps along the rivers between villages usually have something 'end of the roader's" don't; Family. Blood, inlaw and married into will get you more relatives that youll know what to do with.
That can make a huge difference in economy, survivability and sanity. My wifes sister drive me nuts, and solitude is evasive ~~LOL!!~~.
Besides, when you have "family" in a native way, even those that live alone, theres still a very social outlet, those who lone it, are quite 'alone' and it tells. The family net is cast wide amongst the villages here , as people move to marry and such, and even I can roll into a village Ive never been in before and find "family" and be treated just as such.
To Eskimo, to be alone is to die. Not that you will in this modern age of communication gadgets, but mentally, being alone is a vert trying condition to find yerself in, at least in the Arctic.

Thanks for sharing your life with us. The show is fascinating. I appreciate all of the participants, even Sue
On the episode where your sister-in-law was visiting I recall that you indicated that there were 18 people to feed that day. Were all of them staying in your home with you?
The number 1 thing that I wonder about in these Alaska reality shows is that it seems like the majority of people who heat with wood never ever have enough to get through winter. Is it because summer is too short?

I'm getting too personal maybe??
But I wondered if you are native Alaskan too??
I understand your wife and relatives are, as I have met a few Aleut woman here in Lawrence KS at the HINU with the chin tattoos.
But did you go there from somewhere else and marry?
Or were you born there?
Spawn of New England Kansas settlers of mixed English / Irish decent, too complicated to decipher.
I'm a Hinds 57 so to speak.
With a full blood Cherokee great great Grandmother!!!
Hope you don't mind me asking how you got there in the first place, as you don't look or talk native Aleut (or other) too much on TV??
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Or all your primers in a glass jar!

The Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation - Concept
Carl Horowitz
Carl Horowitz
University of Michigan
Runs his own tutoring company
Carl taught upper-level math in several schools and currently runs his own tutoring company. He bets that no one can beat his love for intensive outdoor activities!
The discriminant is part of the quadratic formula which lies underneath the square root. The quadratic equation discriminant is important because it tells us the number and type of solutions. This information is helpful because it serves as a double check when solving quadratic equations by any of the four methods (factoring, completing the square, using square roots, and using the quadratic formula).
Discriminant of a quadratic equation is part of the quadratic formula. It's actually the part that lies underneath the square root. So, discriminate you'll hear is b squared minus 4ac, which hopefully looks familiar because you know the quadratic formula. And really what the discriminate does is it tells us what type of solution and the number of solutions our quadratic equations are going to have. It doesn't tell us what they are. It just tells us the type and the number. OK?
How this works is basically there's four scenarios. I prefer not to memorize them, but I am going to go through them each and then you can use logic or memorize them to sort of figure them out.
Alright. So, what the discriminant can be? There are different options. First of which is it's going to be greater than zero and a perfect square. So, what I mean by that is like 16, 25, any number greater than zero and a perfect square.
So, the discriminant is what's underneath the square root so if it's a perfect square you're going to be able to take the square root of it and our square root is gone from our quadratic formula. What that tells us then is that we have two rational solutions. Perfect square. You can take the square root. The square root goes away.
Alright, discriminant is greater than zero and not a perfect square. So, that would be say like 10, 20, something like that where we can't take a square root. What that tells us is we then throw it underneath a square root sign. Our square root isn't going to go away.
We still have a square root in there of a number that we can take the square root of so what we are going to end up with is two irrational. So, we have a square root and we have plus a square root, minus the square root. So, we have two irrational solutions.
Discrimanent is equal to zero. OK, what that does in terms of our quadratic formula is it makes that whole square root go away. So, you have plus or minus the square root of zero, disappears and we are just left with negative b over 2a.
So, in this case, we have one rational solution, one fractional solution. And the last scenario for our discriminant is it's less than zero. OK, that means a negative number. Discriminant is negative that means what's going into the square root is negative, which means we have two imaginary solutions.
Square root of a negative is an imaginary number. And so we are not going to have any sort of real solutions; we are just going to have imaginary solutions. OK.
So, discriminant is what's underneath the square root in the quadratic formula and it tells us about the number and type of solutions for that quadratic equation.
You can go ahead and memorize these four different things. In general, I just prefer to use logic, OK? Know what the discriminant is, know that it's underneath the square root, and then you know how a square root behaves enough to be able to deduce these anytime you need to.

Re: nvidia and the wayland display server
I trust nvidia more than I trust canonical. Canonical only does this for publicity otherwise perhaps Canonical can write their own nvidia display drivers, no? And it's not like Canonical will even contribute to open source software other than their propaganda that every computer in the world runs Ubuntu.
I reported a bug in gnome bugzilla once from another distribution then some ubuntu dev replies and thanks me for reporting the bug and trying to make ubuntu better. No where in the report did it say I ran ubuntu.
This sort of thing has been discussed so many times and every time the sane conclusion is
please let nvidia do their work instead of asking why don't you support x and y.
Same thing with Wayland, Canonical is trying to get their noses in something someone from another distribution is developing instead of engineering their own solutions and now nvidia needs to automatically support it??
I've been running Linux for over 15 years and I've learned we need to let things naturally happen instead of posting stuff like you'll need to support wayland because big vendors x and y want it.

I, wife and kids went on bike at night tour in boston. tour does take you places in South Boston most tourists don't see but would have liked it to be longer and include more landmarks, stops. Most of the ride was pedaling with about 5 stops for the 1 1/2 hour tour. Would like to have bottled/filtered water instead of reused bottles filled with tap water.

The bike at night tour was a fun way to see the city in a different way. We traveled along the waterfront and into South Boston (an area we otherwise would not have seen). Midway through the tour, we stopped at a parking garage overlooking the harbor. The tour offered great views and the tour guides were helpful, informative and friendly. Even when we were riding with traffic, the tour guides were always concerned with the safety of the group. Overall great tour. Highly recommend.

Our tour guides were extremely friendly and enthusiastic. The ride was the perfect length and we got to see some areas of the city that I had actually never been to before. I would recommend this to anyone (if you're a serious biker, don't expect this to be a high intensity ride).

We are a group of friends visiting Boston for the third time in the last ten years. The temperature was perfect especially on a summer night and we experienced some of the lesser explored parts of Boston - namely the Harborwalk. The view was beautiful and the tour guides informative. Highly recommended!

Second time I do a tour with this company, first time 2009.
I did the sunset tour. The ride by the greenway and harbor areas was lovely. Our tour guide (female, can't remember her name, sorry:( was very kind and educated us on what we were looking at.
- Are Urban AdvenTours for all levels of riders?
- You don't need to be Lance Armstrong to enjoy an Urban AdvenTours ride - we welcome all levels of riders. However, nearly all of the tour will be on the road with traffic, so please be prepared to ride attentively.
- Are the tours safe?
- Yes. Urban AdvenTours is a fully insured company. PLEASE be sure to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure time for bike adjustments and to ensure a safe and secure helmet fit. All bikes and helmets are brightly colored for high visibility and fully outfitted with reflectors and lights after dark. The number of guides per tour is based on the number of participants riding to keep the tour safe and protected while moving at a comfortable pace: We usually have a ratio of one guide per five to seven riders. UA staff will also provide advice for safe city riding. On the Bikes@Night tour, nearly all of the riding is done on city streets alongside cars. However, there are new bike lanes popping up every day!
- Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
- No, but advance purchase is strongly recommended, as tours may sell out or be cancelled if there are no reservations. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please buy your tickets well in advance, either online or by phone. Tickets can be purchased through Zerve with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
- Am I required to sign a waiver?
- Yes. It is a requirement that all individuals participating with Urban AdvenTours agree to sign a waiver. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian must sign for you. A waiver will be provided to each participant to sign before the tour, or there will be a link to it provided on your e-ticket.
- Will there be food and beverages served on the tour?
- Urban AdvenTours will supply each rider with water for the tour. There are snacks available for purchase at our shop.
- How long do the tours last?
- The tour lasts approximately one and a half hours.
- How much distance does the tour cover?
- The Bikes@Night tour covers about 8 miles.
- Does the tour run after dark?
- Yes, sometimes the evening tour does run after dark. The city has an entirely different feel at night, and the lights make for amazing photo opportunities. If you are taking the evening tour, be sure to bring an extra jacket or sweater as the temperature can dip quite a bit after sunset in Boston.
- What if there is rain or inclement weather?
- The tour will typically run in a light rain, but not in more severe or unsafe weather conditions. If AdvenTours needs to cancel the tour, we will contact you on the day of the tour to reschedule your tickets to another time that is convenient for you. Please be sure the local (or cell phone) number you provide when buying your tickets is accurate.
- Are there bathroom stops on the tour?
- You will be able to use the bathroom before the tour departs, but there is no designated bathroom stop on the tour.
- What happens if a bike is lost or stolen during a tour or rental?
- While it is extremely unlikely, the customer would be liable for the full retail cost of the bicycle if it were determined that they were at fault for the loss or theft.
- Are children welcome on the tour?
- Children are certainly welcome on the tour! Since this tour is shorter than our other offerings, it's great for families. Keep in mind, though, that most of the ride is on streets, so kids may be uneasy with traffic. Kid bikes, "trailer" bikes, and child seats are all available. A private tour is also a great alternative for groups with children! Please note that Massachusetts State Law forbids children younger than 1 year from riding on a bicycle.
- What special arrangements can be made for my children to take the tour?
- The best thing you can do for your children is to book a private tour! After you have done that, we will be able to provide your child with a "pint sized" bicycle or a towing attachment for parents with toddlers. Click "Contact AdvenTours" to inquire about taking a tour with your children.
- What kinds of child attachments available for the bikes?
- Please contact us directly via the "Contact AdvenTours" link to inquire about attachments. We have child seats (attach to an adult's bike on a rack right behind the adult over the rear; for kids too young to ride a bike), Trail-a-bikes (attach to an adult's bike on the seat post for children who are big enough to ride a bike, but may not be able to ride a without training wheels confidently or handle the pacing of a tour), and Burley trailers (can carry up to two children and up to 100 pounds, but are not available on public tours). Please click "Contact AdvenTours" to inquire. Thank you!
- Can I take my video camera on the tour?
- Only if you promise to send us the video!
- Can I rent a bike without taking a guided tour?
- Yes, rentals are available through Zerve for advance purchase.
- Can I take a tandem bike on the tour?
- Tandems are not usually allowed on tour because they can be difficult to maneuver on the streets and paths. If you are an experienced tandem rider or one of your party is unable to ride by themselves, please click the "Contact AdvenTours" link to the left to make special arrangements.
- Can I bring my own bike on the tour?
- Yes, but only if the bike is in top-notch condition! (We do reserve the right to turn you away or ask you to use one of ours if your bike is not in good enough shape). There is no discounted rate for bringing your own bike, but we will give you a FREE Urban AdvenTours t-shirt upon arrival!
- Can I leave luggage at the shop?
- We can store personal articles, bags, or larger luggage during the day for customers on tour or renting bikes. If you will have a large amount of luggage, please call us first to make arrangements. While your bags will be stored in as secure a location as possible, we cannot be held responsible for lost/damaged items.
- Are gift certificates available?
- Absolutely. There is no better gift for a new student or new resident in the Boston area. It is a great way to help them become more acclimated to the city. Gift certificates are also great birthday, thank you, and anniversaries gifts. To purchase a gift certificate, please click on the "Contact AdvenTours" link.
- What if I am a local Bostonian? Do I have anything to gain from one of your tours?
- Of course! All of the locals who have taken our tours have said they learned something new, whether it be a new landmark or a new route. Our tours are also great for locals with out-of-town visitors who want to see the sites. It is a unique offering that will leave your guests thanking you for taking them off the beaten path of traditional tours.
- Do you offer custom private group tours?
- Yes. We welcome custom group tours which can be from 5 to 30 people in size. For large groups, we split up for safety and service reasons. Custom tours are great for convention goers, corporations, and student groups. To arrange a group tour, please click on the "Contact AdvenTours" link to the left of the page.
- What is the maximum number of people on a tour?
- Our tours generally range from 5-10 people, though occasionally reach numbers between 20 and 40 during our busy season. Multiple tour guides ride on larger tours to ensure your safety and the quality of the experience. We can also split large tours into two separate groups.
- Can I bring my pet?
- Sorry, pets are not allowed on tours unless they can ride quietly and comfortably in a backpack specifically designed for that purpose. We cannot provide any special accommodations along the tour for animals.
- How can I get copies of any pictures taken by Urban AdvenTours on the tour?
- Photos UA staff take on our tours are available free of charge to participants by leaving an email address on the waiver signed before the tour.
- Can I get a specialty bike for this tour?
- Yes. Specialty road and mountain bikes can be arranged at an additional cost with two days notice. Please click "Contact AdvenTours" for details.

Stephen Payne, 20, was convicted after tensions flared between Raith Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic supporters, before the teams' match at Starks Park in Kirkcaldy on November 17, 2012.
Payne, from Rosyth, was among a group of fans who had to be separated from each other because they were shouting, swearing and challenging each other to fight. He was warned by police but continued to antagonise rival supporters, prosecutors said. He was fined £400 at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.
Faith Millar, football liaison prosecutor for the east of Scotland, said: "There is no place in modern Scotland for such unruly disorder where grown men, so called football fans, look to fight in the street. It is totally unacceptable, brings shame on the game and embarrasses genuine supporters.
"We will do all in our power to bring those who perpetrate such crimes to justice."

Here are Three Things the Next Mayor Should Do for NYC's Youngest
Expert Advice on How to Strengthen the Early Childhood System
Tuesday, November 05, 2013 - 02:11 PM
It's been one year since the Bloomberg Administration launched EarlyLearnNYC, an ambitious model aimed at improving the quality of the city's contracted child care system for children ages 6 weeks to 4 years old. As we look back at its first year, we see that EarlyLearn, while laudable, has not been fully realized.
As it exists, the current EarlyLearn system is under-funded, decreases the capacity of the contracted system, and includes rates that are inadequate for providers.
According to the Mayor's Management Report, EarlyLearn enrollment in fiscal year 2013 was 30,096, a substantial decrease from the more than 45,000 children enrolled in the contracted system the year earlier.
When we look at total enrollment in the contracted and voucher systems, we see a 19 percent decrease in the number of children served by ACS in 2013 (101,852) compared to 2010 (120,809). This decrease in the number of children served is particularly troubling in light of the fact that ACS has found that only about one third of all eligible children are being served as it is.
The numbers are moving in the wrong direction.
We see a path for the next mayor to take to truly maximize access to a high-quality, affordable, full-day early childhood education experience. EarlyLearn's overarching goal is to deliver a higher level of service; something that early childhood education providers and advocates agree is of vital importance in preparing high-needs, low-income children for kindergarten and beyond.
Here are three things we want to see the next mayor do to ensure the early childhood system's success:
1. Stop the annual budget dance. First and foremost, the more than $60 million of one-year City Council discretionary funding for child care must be baselined so that the money is permanently in ACS's budget. This would eliminate the annual budget dance where the City Council restores the one-year funding each June and would result in a more stable system.
2. Increase funding. The city must address the EarlyLearn rate so that it is sufficient to fund the high-quality services that EarlyLearn envisioned. The per-child rate must be increased so that providers can meet standards, retain appropriate and credentialed staff and meet the costs of operations, administration, and materials for children.
3. Respect the staff. We must ensure early education staff has adequate compensation and benefits. An investment in the early childhood education system must include resources for the workforce, including professional development, support for obtaining credentials and advancing education, and improved compensation and benefits, including affordable health care coverage.
Subsidized child care is an investment in New York City's future. Every child deserves access to safe, high-quality, and affordable early childhood education.
Going forward, the next mayor, public advocate, comptroller and City Council members must have a plan for making high-quality, affordable early education available to every New York City child.

Without knowing what is taught, how it is taught, and more about the learning environments, it is difficult to comment intelligently. However, the recommendations appear to be rational and correct. If NYC is investing in a new Silicon Valley at the older end of the spectrum it should also, and perhaps more importantly, be investing in its very youngest.

PITTSBURGH, PA. The Edmonton Oilers fielded more calls Thursday about their first overall pick in the NHL draft, while Columbus talked of sticking with the second selection or moving down.
Oilers GM Steve Tambellini's socks had not been blown off by the time he met the media the day before Friday's draft.
"It would have to be something significant ... that makes sense for me to give up the No. 1 pick," said Tambellini.
"Winning the lottery puts us in another spot for an incredible piece that will bring us forward. And I'm very comfortable, if it stays as is, we're going to make our pick."
The offers he had received were "obviously not good enough to make me really think about discussing with our staff," he said.
"It may not come," he added. "And I'm totally fine with that. We have an asset coming to this organization to join (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins, (Taylor) Hall, (Jordan) Eberle, (Magnus) Paajarvi and (Jeff) Petry and some of the young D (defencemen) that are coming also. It's an exciting time."
Tambellini was cagey about whether the Oilers had decided on who that might be. All he would say is his scouting brain trust has been "very consistent with their direction."
Friday's draft is top-heavy in defencemen with Russian Nail Yakupov offering some flash among some promising European forwards available. There are also some intriguing goaltenders.
"It's one of those years where you're seeing European forwards jump to the front of the line," said Dave Nonis, Toronto's senior vice-president of hockey operations. "There are some pretty good Canadian defencemen there."
Yakupov was one of several top prospects who met the media earlier in the day on a riverboat cruise.
"I think everyone wants to be first," the 18-year-old Sarnia Sting winger said of being the No. 1 pick. "You want to be first, too. ... First is first."
Not lacking in confidence, he declared he is ready to play in the NHL.
Montreal picks third Friday night, followed by the Islanders and Toronto. Winnipeg goes ninth, Calgary 14th, Ottawa 15th and Vancouver 26th.
While teams ponder which prospects to pick, several established names loom in the backdrop with the Columbus Blue Jackets looking to work out a deal for star forward Rick Nash and the Vancouver Canucks hoping to find a home for goalie Roberto Luongo with the rise of Cory Schneider.
Columbus GM Scott Howson met with Nash's agent, Joe Resnick, on Friday.
"It was a good meeting, lasted almost an hour and we exchanged a lot of ideas," Howson said.
Pressed on whether anything was close, he said: "No." But Howson did not rule out movement this weekend.
"A lot of things can happen between now and when the draft is over. I'm not counting on anything. Obviously, our goal is to do what's best for our hockey club and that's how we'll keep operating."
He declined to speak about Nash's list of preferred destinations.
Howson did say he is not interested in trying to get the No 1. pick.
"We're going to stay at (No.) 2 or move back," he said.
"There's a few possibilities in terms of us moving back," he added. "So we're going to look at that and see if that's something we want to do. If we stick at 2, we're pretty confident in the player we're going to take."
Howson said the players his team has rated No. 1 and 2 are "pretty close. And we'd be delighted to get either one of them."
Tambellini also predicted some teams drafting lower in the first round might move down to get multiple picks.
Picking 15th, Ottawa assistant GM Tim Murray said the Sens are "at the mercy of 14 other teams ... You try to come up with two or three names you have a good chance to get."
As for the Canucks, Gilman said his franchise has opted for the best player available in the opening rounds of recent drafts before turning to positional needs.
Nonis described the trade chatter as "very quiet" for his team.
"If we could move up at a reasonable price, it would be something to consider. But we think we'll get a pretty good player at 5."

This stir-fry is full of flavour and can be served up in a matter of minutes. The dish was inspired by all the cheap and cheerful seafood places in Hong Kong that I visited, where some of the most amazing seafood was served! I was particularly taken with a garlic prawn dish I ate – the prawns were butterflied (cut in half down the middle of spine), topped with generous amounts of butter, garlic and spring onions and steamed. My tangy chilli and garlic prawns is inspired by that memorable dish. Make sure you buy raw tiger prawns because if you buy cooked, they will be too chewy when cooked again in this dish.
Heat a wok or pan over a high heat and add the groundnut oil. Add the garlic and chilli and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the prawns, rice wine or sherry and the lime juice and stir-fry until the prawns start to turn pink.
Add the French beans and mix together. When the prawns have all turned pink, season with the salt and chilli flakes and serve immediately.

Aloha! and Mahalo nui loa for considering our wonderful tropical Oceanfront 1 bedroom, 1 bath condominium home away from home for an unforgettable Hawaiian vacation!
Without a doubt, Kona Reef Resort is one of the most unique, beautiful, and convenient vacation destinations in Kailua-Kona, HI (The Big Island). Besides being a complete Ocean Front property next to Honl Beach, you can easily walk to shops, historical venues, art galleries, farmers market, restaurants and attend local luaus. You won't find the need to drive whenever you want to go into the famous and picturesque historic Village of Kailua-Kona. All of this while being able to park your car in a FREE underground parking garage.
Paint your own picture in the land of perpetual summer! Whether you are an on-the-go adventurer or just need to re-charge your batteries with a beautiful, quiet and tranquil location, you have come to the right spot!
For the adventure seeker, there are many amenities on the Big Island: Honl Beach Park is right next door. Within steps from our condo lanai you will find tide pools, surfing, boogie boarding, scuba diving, and snorkeling with colorful reef fish and green sea turtles. Leave the beach and head for the volcanoes by car, hiking trails or by helicopter where Kilauea volcano has been erupting for years at the south end of the Big Island. Drive the dramatic coastline and explore places like the Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Kealakekua Bay with its famous snorkeling and diving, The City of Refuge (Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park), historic churches like The Painted Church, coffee plantations, macadamia nut farms, and many spectacular vista lookouts! Travel north along the Kohala Coast and try our new and popular "Zipline" attraction near the quaint Town of Hawi or go hiking, horseback riding or take an ATV adventure through some of the most beautiful and lush terrain with tropical rain forests and waterfalls. For something unique, take a trip to the top of the Mauna Kea summit and be treated to breathtaking views and a night of gazing the starry heavens of the South Pacific sky with trained astronomers! The Sky is the limit on the Orchid Isle!
For the ultimate in relaxation: Right on your own private lanai, from sunrise to sunset, the views and sounds of the crashing surf are unforgettable. Have your morning (Kona) coffee watching cruise ships coming into port, outrigger canoe paddling teams, humpback whales breaching, and spinner dolphins frolicking in the surf. Read a book or marvel at the skill of the local surfers who frequent the waves generated by our popular Reef location. To end the day either from your spacious lanai or the Cabana/Pool/Spa overlooking the turquoise and deep blue Ocean, you can leisurely prepare your dinner on one of the (4) gas grills, while marveling at the romantic, enchanting, and stunning Hawaiian sunset. Close the memories of your enchanted day in paradise with a toast, enjoying your favorite beverage to celebrate the experience that is true ALOHA!

We loved staying at Kona Reef a-6. The location was perfect...ocean outside the door, sunsets from the lanai, easy access to the pool but in a quiet location.
The condo was well equipped with ocean/pool toys, guide books, games, in addition to the kitchen and bath items. The upgrades in the condo were also appreciated...up to date and not tired and drab.
Condo was also a great location for walking to all of the activities on alli Drive. And a starting point for exploring the island. We put 1000 miles on the rental car!
Working with SunQuest was also a pleasure. Thank you for your attention to every detail and also your quick replies to our questions.
Already thinking of time back at Kona Reef...with the extended family!
This unit is in a fabulous location. Easy walk to the main part of Kona with lots of entertainment and dining options. The unit has a wonderful view of the water. It is very close to the pool. I was skeptical about the pool based on the pictures but found it to be a nice size, very clean, great view of the ocean. The BBQ grills are convienient too and the whole unit was very well maintained. Parking was easy and plentiful. The unit was clean, updated with modern touches, the pictures are accurate. The pullout bed in the the living room was inflateable and the kids found it comfortable. The AC worked well and kept us cool in warm August.
There is a small beach just where the unit looks out too, not much sand there but one of my favorite parts of the unit was this area due to seeing Hawaii Sea Turtle there almost every single day!
My son named the turtle Frank. I enjoyed Kona, the weather was great, vog does seem to settle in around 2 and seemed to clear up towards the evening while we were there, not a big deal though.
The only thing I could see for improvement on the unit would be to have more stocked supplies. We only had 2 rolls of toilet paper, 1 trash bag, 1 paper towel unit, for the entire stay. With a family of four we had to restock these. Not a big deal but it doesn't make sense to buy a whole box of trash bags when a person only needs 3. Also, I noticed that the hot water didn't last too long. If the whole family took a shower in the morning (peak time) we seemed to run out. Whereas if we took showers in an off peak time, it seemed to last longer.
These are obviously not a big deal, I would go back here in a heartbeat!
The owner was easy to work with and utiliezed a local company Sunquest to handle our rental transaction. Sunquest was great too!
We stayed in this condo for two weeks over Christmas. This is a lovely condo which is in a perfect location - not too close to the action but close enough to walk to town. The condo has everything that you want except one thing that I should have brought! Binoculars! The pool is lovely - never too busy and lots of chairs. Enjoyed having the big turtles in front of our condo - which truly is only a few steps to the beach! Thanks for the great stay!
