Malevich described his aesthetic theory, known as Suprematism, as "the supremacy of pure feeling or perception in the pictorial arts." He viewed the Russian Revolution as having paved the way for a new society in which materialism would eventually lead to spiritual freedom. This austere painting counts among the most radical paintings of its day, yet it is not impersonal; the trace of the artist's hand is visible in the texture of the paint and the subtle variations of white. The imprecise outlines of the asymmetrical square generate a feeling of infinite space rather than definite borders.
MoMA Audio: Collection, 2008, 512
Curator, Leah Dickerman: Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Composition: White on White was painted the year after the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Malevich was one of the first artists to create works that stepped away completely from trying to make images of the visible world. And in this work you can see that Malevich is pushing the limits of the possibility of abstraction. A white form glides on a white expanse at the very threshold of visibility. And color is minimized although it's still present. You can see that there's two very different forms of white in the composition. And the surface is very worked. So white is a way of taking away, minimizing color itself and actually focusing on the material of painting.
You see the touch of the brush again and again and you can see that it's very much a picture about the process of painting.
Malevich breaks with the use of perspective that traditional tool to create the illusion of dimensional depth in the work of art although there is a kind of spatial sense that's created by skewing the square form in the center of the composition and the way it's layered over the slightly warmer white ground.
This was painted a year after the Russian Revolution. And you can understand it as part of an effort to create a new visual language for a new world.
Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925
December 23, 2012–April 15, 2013
With his White on White series Malevich pushed the limits of abstraction to an unprecedented degree. Reducing pictorial means to their bare minimum, he not only dispensed with the illusion of depth and volume but also rid painting of its seemingly last essential attribute, color. What remains is a geometric figure, barely differentiated from a slightly warmer white ground and given the illusion of movement by its skewed and off-center position. With its richly textured surface and delicate brushwork, Suprematist Composition: White on White emphasizes painting's material aspects, and its simplicity suggests a radical reinvention of the medium. In 1918, a year after the Russian Revolution, the connotations of this sense of liberation were not only aesthetic but sociopolitical. Malevich expressed his exhilaration in a manifesto published in conjunction with the first public exhibition of the series, in Moscow in 1919: "I have overcome the lining of the colored sky. . . . Swim in the white free abyss, infinity is before you."
The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 85
A white square floating weightlessly in a white field, Suprematist Composition: White on White was one of the most radical paintings of its day: a geometric abstraction without reference to external reality. Yet the picture is not impersonal: we see the artist's hand in the texture of the paint, and in the subtle variations of the whites. The square is not exactly symmetrical, and its lines, imprecisely ruled, have a breathing quality, generating a feeling not of borders defining a shape but of a space without limits.
After the Revolution, Russian intellectuals hoped that human reason and modern technology would engineer a perfect society. Malevich was fascinated with technology, and particularly with the airplane, instrument of the human yearning to break the bounds of earth. He studied aerial photography, and wanted White on White to create a sense of floating and transcendence. White was for Malevich the color of infinity, and signified a realm of higher feeling.
For Malevich, that realm, a utopian world of pure form, was attainable only through nonobjective art. Indeed, he named his theory of art Suprematism to signify "the supremacy of pure feeling or perception in the pictorial arts"; and pure perception demanded that a picture's forms "have nothing in common with nature." Malevich imagined Suprematism as a universal language that would free viewers from the material world.

HD200 vs SC250 vs BV350 vs 300GTS
I know, yet another what scooter should I buy thread, like we need another one.
So I have a few motorcycles and 2 vintage Vespas. I like the Vespa construction and quality. I'd like to get a modern TnG scooter for mainly around town, occasional freeway jaunts, and *maybe* the 2-3 hour tour (I work in the Sillycon Valley and live in the Sierras, so am always going back and forth between the two). The 2-3 hour ride is not as important to me, but would be icing on the cake. I currently have been riding a friends Piaggio Fly 150, which has given me the TnG scooter bug, but I'd like something with more power. I'd rather not lose too much on the small maneuverability aspect, though.
There's a practically new 2012 HD200 for sale that the guy bought in July. He's asking $2800. I really like the SYM's and everyone who has one loves them. They seem like they are faster than people expect, but are they that much quicker than the Fly? I have the highest confidence in their long term quality. I also like that there is a lot of warranty left on this scooter.
There's a very nice 2008 Sport City 250 in the area for a similar asking price. Keep in mind that the last SC's in the US are '09's, and there are some of those around, too. These look to hit the sweet spot for power and agility. How much quicker is the SC250 over the HD200? I don't have as much faith in Piaggio's long term quality, but I am fairly handy with a wrench and will likely take care of most of the maintenance.
So these two are the cheaper alternatives. I'd like to spend less money than more. However, I have this nagging suspicion that I'd always be wanting more power.
I am seriously jonesing for the BV350. This seems like one hell of a scooter, even considering the price tag. Will I always lust after this scooter if I had an HD200? I know the BV350 is about 70 lbs heavier, but physically not much bigger than the HD200. Will this be much of a detriment for around town use?
Being a vintage Vespa owner, I do like the modern 250/300GTS Vespas. These strike me as the Fly on super-steroids, which is very appealing. I love the way I sit on these and they feel fairly light. They also look the best to me, although the BV350 is very nice looking in a modern-retro sort of way (and I even like the red seat and plastics). The downside is they are pricey. They cost similar (dealers are discounting the 2012s) to the BV350, but don't have the tech and features. Hell, they don't even have a trip odometer! I can save some money on used ones, and luckily there are always a few for sale
The Japanese don't have anything in this size range that appeals to me. Kymco makes nice scooters, too, but I"m not a fan of their styling for the most part. The people 300 is the same price as the BV350, and I'd rather have the latter.
So given the choice: practically new HD200 Evo, clean used SC250, used 250/300GTS, or new BV350 (maybe used if I"m patient enough), which would you choose? I'd love to hear from folks who have owned 2 or more of these models for a comparison. I plan to take a few test rides in the coming weeks.

Ok- First confession- I've owned none of those models, but I have been studying them for nearly a year, and like you I do own an older Vespa. (I won't insult you by claiming mine's vintage, it's a 1980).
You've mentioned all the scooters I've either looked at or considered, and I'll explain why I haven't bought anything but still feel I can weigh in with some advice (it's free afterall).
I'll cut to the chase- for what you're describing as the designated purpose a nearly new HD200 would be perfect for you. They are reliable, comfortable (can actually seat two up) and you've got a really knowledgable dealer in California- http://www.ootyscooters.com/ . He posts lot of great info on the SYM forum, and is a huge fan of the HD200.
I'm sure you're also aware an HD200 has previously won the cross country Scooter Cannonball.
The SC250 is a great scooter- Klaviator on here has toured on his, and has great things to say about it. Between it and the SYM the bigger issue is whether you have access to a local dealer for any service items you might want addressed.
The BV350 and 300GTS are sort of in a league of their own. Complete apples and oranges compared to the utilitarian HD200, and with prices to match- both are great, but do some research to see if they fit your real philosophy of use. Seems like from your description both are overkill. Again, dealer access is important, and lots of folks will caution you that Piaggio support in the US has been a bit spotty. Spend some time on Modern Vespa and you'll get to hear all the great and not so great things about both. Only downside that I have for the GTS are the passenger seating position is sub optimal due to the wide rear end of the scooter. My wife could barely reach the pegs, and indeed it's a common complaint.
I came close to buying an HD200 to go on the back of my RV. Alas, when I went back to the dealer they had sold the flat grey model I had lusted for, and the red and canary yellow models did not mess well with my RV colors. So for the time being I'm going to use my P200E for carry duty, and perhaps if I sell my R1200GS next spring I'll look for a bigger replacement like the BV350. For now I'm waiting to see how badly the 'fiscal cliff' affects me
Hope you find the perfect scooter for your needs.

Well, I own a GTS250ie (parent scooter to the GTS300), and on the 5th of January will have owned it for 7 years. Ive toured on the Vespa into Death Valley, Nevada, and Arizona and frankly its a damn fine little tourer better suited for secondaries and highways not freeways.
Maintenance costs and purchase (new and used) prices on the Vespa tend to be higher than Piaggios underbone scooters like the BV, Scarabeo etc. but then ONLY a Vespa is a Vespa. The 12" running stock doesnt lend itself to a particualrly smooth ride on anything but a really nice stretch of tarmac.
Pothole dodging is a big part of Vespa riding, but thankfully the 12"ers make quick work of avoidance steering.
I recently test-rode then ordered the BV350 despite some heartburn with 's parts support over the years. My wife who owns a Vespa GT200L tested and ordered one as well. Yes, its THAT nice! We will keep our Vespas since we still enjoy them and have a lot of history with them....
The service schedule on the BV350 is phenomenal compared to the Vespa, and with 33 hp at the rear wheel, larger rolling stock, and a bigger fuel tank they will be our new big-mile scooters.
(her XT is listed for sale below in my sig-line. What better shameless plug segue could I ask for?)
Sooo, depending on what type of use you plan to use it primarily for, your penchant for a smooth ride, and your level of maintenance-cost pain tolerance I think you'll have a great time on any of the italians....warts and all but frankly your short-list of the 4 is all good and not a loser on the list so, follow your heart first, and wallet second.
Isn't it past your bedtime?

I may be mistaken, but isn't the SC250 the same engine as the GTS250? Either way, I just went out on a 35 mile jaunt, mostly rural roads and a quick 1 mile stretch on the Freeway (highway became official freeeway and I exited on the first exit to continue my travels). While the wind noise with the puig windscreen is bad, I rode with earplugs and could really, really see how nice the windscreen works. While I didnt' go faster than 65mph, I also spent most of the trip doing 40-55mph and it was like butter even at 65. My second fill up today and I got 65 and 68 mpg respectively. And, I still have just under 500 total miles on it.
My choice would be the BV350 if I had to do it all over again. Just because.

You have a conundrum.
The BV350 is a very nice Scooter but double the money of the Sym Evo. New GTS or new BV350? BV350.
If the warranty will transfer and there is nearby Dealer support, the Sym would be tempting.
If the price on the Sym is negotiable, negotiate with this Cycletrader info...
There are new HD200's left over for less than the Evo which would be good ammo for negotiation.
Unknown resale value on the Sym but if bought right you could ride free for a period of time.
You already have Vintage Cool with the other Vespas, something the GTS doesn't have.

I have a SC250 and took a short test ride on the BV350. Check the following for more info on my SC250:

As for the BV350. It is heavier and considerably more powerful than the SC250. It is by no means too big and heavy for around town use but it is more than you need as the smaller bikes you mentioned will handle around town duties quite nicely and be more agile. I have pretty much written off the BV350 as a possible future bike because the linked brakes are a big turn off for me.

As for the OP, you can't really go wrong with any of them. I'm partial to the Italian scoots but Syms are good scooters as well. Vespa GTS 250 and Scarabeo 500 are my favorites but if I were looking for a new freeway capable scoot the BV 350 with its maintenance intervals would be high on my list.

Agree with gogogordy, though I haven't ridden a BV350. I love our GTV300 for urban or secondary road use, but wouldn't consider it the best expressway scooter. Plenty of performance, even two-up, but with 12" wheels things are pretty busy at 65MPH+. We bought it to tool around town & short trips to the lake on 50MPH two-lane. The GTS/GTV Vespa's are perfect for this use.
When garage room & finances allow I would love to have a maxi scooter with 15" or larger wheels & 500+ cc's for interstate/higher speed use.

Thanks for the replies so far! Keep them coming! I can't say it's helped any yet. I"m still as confused as ever.
There's a lot I really like about the BV350, and keep gravitating toward it. The downside is that it weighs about the same as my Buell XB12Ss! I have had no problem using the Buell for everyday tasks, but like the convenience of a scooter better. The BV350 is the only scooter on my list that I can see using to commute between work and home. While smaller and lighter scooters would obviously be easier to handle in town, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem with the BV, and I know I'd like the extra power. There I go, rationalizing the BV!
Then I think maybe I should get the cheaper, lighter HD200 (or SC250) for now, and something like the BMW C650GT (or a regular touring bike - the Victory Vision is one of my favs) for commuting between work and home later.
I have a truck camper and thought it would be cool to be able to take the scooter with me. I haven't figured out the best way, though. I don't want to use a hitch carrier in the back as I'd have to hang it off an 18 inch extension. I could put it in the front, though. This would favor the lighter bikes as the BV would be too heavy. Or I could tow a small trailer and then be able to take any of my bikes.
Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! I hope things become clearer with a few test rides!

Great pics!
Did you have to change the oil a few times on this trip? I thought the oil change interval on the HD200 is short, like around 1000 miles.

Long Term Piaggio
The SYM is a good bike, I brought them into the Charleston area back when they came into the US, but if I remember correctly, that engine is only used in the HD200. While they are a huge international company (The SYM factory in China produces scooters for SYM, Tomos, Yamaha and other companies), SYM doesn't distribute in the US. This tends to create problems down the road with parts and availability.
Many of the cheap new 2009s are being sold at fire sale prices, but without a warranty.
As you know from owning vintage Vespas, parts are pretty much always easily available for anything Piaggio has ever made, and I don't forsee this changing in the future. Even though we are not a Vespa dealer, I get pretty much any part I need for any model in less than 10 days.
I think the BV350 is probably going to turn out to be a great bike over time, it seems like what you really want, and if you buy it, you will never be kicking yourself saying you should have bought that instead of whatever else you buy.

I read the SYM forum pretty frequently as well as Alliance's Facebook page- they seem to be getting new inventory all the time. They got a very cool new flat white 2013 HD200 Evo a day or two ago. My dealer told me they try very hard to ensure part orders get fulfilled. Are you unaware that Alliance is the distributor, or are you saying they are not able to fulfill their purpose and support current dealers?
Lastly, it would appear from the SYM website that the HD200 engine is the same as used in the 2013 RV200 as well. I've not seen one, but HP specs are the same. http://alliancepowersports.com/models/index.html

As the new owner of an NOS 2009 BV500 had a few "teething" problems in the first 700 miles, I have developed a bit of mistrust regarding Piaggio's parts pipeline distribution system. I love the bike and expect it to be very reliable...and I extrapolate that to the BV350 and the 300 Super, both of which I've looked at...both are very nice.
Have you looked at the Kymco People GT 300i? Not a lot of storage space, but has received very good reviews...I think Cortez did a really good writeup on it. I'd be looking at one if we had a Kymco dealer around here...

The People 300 leaves me cold. It's priced the same as the BV350. I'd rather have the BV. To me, the Taiwanese scooters should significantly undercut the Italians and Japanese.
Being an engineer, I think a big part of the appeal of the HD200 and BV350 is the technology. The engine and clutch of the BV is interesting to me. I find the ceramic coated cylinders of the HD fascinating. That each engine reliably produces ~100hp/liter is what I expect from a modern engine. Many of Kymcos designs are fairly dated although the People 300 isn't one of them. It just seems bigger and clunkier in comparison to the BV, even though it's lighter.. I'll have to look at one in person.
Even David Harrington almost admitted that the BV350 is superior in just about every way to his 300GT, but picked his bike due to his faith in Kymco's reliability compared to Piaggio.

I also have a Kymco Super 8 150. It is much lighter and more nimble than my SC250 and turns short trips around town into an exciting ride. I have owned many motorcycles and have been riding for over 30 years. For short trips around town, you just can't beat a small, nimble, lightweight scooter.
The Sport city on the other hand is probably the lightest 250 out there and is quite capable of touring and even running all day at highway speeds. Why get a heavier and more expensive scooter when you already have a larger motorcycle?
I haven't ridden a Vespa but I would imagine that the small wheels make it more nimble than a similar sized big wheel scooter. Unless you are riding in an area with a lot of potholes, I don't see a problem with the smaller wheels.

In celebration of our 8th anniversary, the staff of "Mad Money" wanted to prepare something special ahead of the blockbuster show we're planning for Friday, March 15th. And we thought what better way to whet your appetite than with a look back at a fan favorite—Cramer's crazy costumes from the past year.
Cramer always goes to great lengths to grab the attention of individual investors and help them understand the stock market. Sometimes that includes dressing in crazy costumes to illustrate a critical point or a key idea. Over the past year, Cramer has donned some pretty outrageous outfits. In the following, you'll find eight of our absolute favorites. Cramer may be a master of disguise, but there's no hiding his love for the ticker tape even behind these get ups.

So then two members come from the crowd, and come in the ring. Soon after a fight breaks out with one of their faces being revealed. I think its Wes Brisco, but he says they are in for a long night. Sting
1. Austin Aries comes out first, and says that everyone was calling his title win a fluke. But he doesn't think this is the case. Especially considering the fact that he beat Bobby Roode twice. Austin, then says it doesn't matter who is the winner of "The Bound for Glory" series because either way he is going to walk in to "Bound for Glory" champ and walk out the same way. This
1. Bully Ray, comes out to open the show, & says that he goin 2 win @ HJ. But 2 get down 2 bigger & better things startin w/ 2night he is gonna beat James Stiorm & pick up 7 more pts. in "The BFG Series". Out comes James and he says that he gonna kick Ray's ass, & Ray seems game 4 a fight, thats good b/c Storm & fightin R like me w/ chocolate they go hand & hand.

I hate blacking out like that...haven't done it in a few years, but it sucks when people are all like "don't you remember? You said/did/that/this/OMG", but you're all like "I did?" My anger takes me there sometimes too....I just simply try not to get that mad and think to myself....it's not worth getting that angry over. Sorry about that though, I know the feeling!

Do not take this the wrong way, but I think you absolutely need to see a professional.
Even if others admit to doing so as well, simply put, it is not normal behavior. In fact, it very well could be deadly behavior.
So need to talk to someone at the very least.
Something is doing this to your brain. The sooner you find out what it is, confront it, the sooner you can move on.
Leaving it "bottled up" so to speak, meaning thinking it will just correct itself on it's own, is not the path to take.
Good Luck.

They were very bad impersonations.
The DJ's should be charged with impersonation and should be fired.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 14:31
I'm not saying the DJs in this situations weren't douches, radio DJs here in Aus are all pretty much childish *******s, but to kill yourself is a complete over-reaction.
The media shouldn't get too self-righteous in all this, though. Since the pregnancy was announced, the media has been a complete circus over this issue. "OMG is it twins? What will the names be? 8-1 odds it will be a natural birth vs. C-section! Look at the royal baby-bump! (one of my most hated of words). Blah blah blah. Their fanatical reaction isn't that much better than what these DJs did.
lets clear some stuff up, because there is a huge amount of BS in this thread.
First off, she wasn't facing any disciplinary action, at all. The Royal Family even told hospital managment they didn't want her to face any repercussions. Second off, she didn't disclose any information about anyone. all she did was transfer the call to the ward where Kate Middleton was staying. Thats it, nothing more, nothing less.
Doctors and Nurses have some of the highest suicide rates out of any profession.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 14:39
I dont know much about british law to be honest, but I imagine having the Royal Family say they don't want any disciplinary actions brought against them is a bit different than the average patient.
Yeah, she wasn't facing disciplinary action at the time, but as a former NHS employee I guarantee you that there'd have been an investigation, and she could have taken a lot of the blame. They take DP breaches very seriously, even when the patient doesn't make a formal complaint. I worked in an administrative area, and whenever I received a phone call asking for patient information, the standard response was "I'm afraid I can't give out patient information over the telephone, but I can provide you with the email address for our Freedom of Information officer if it's a FOI request". I'd presume that there'd be a similar procedure for handling patient enquiries over the phone in the clinical areas too.
Do I think she's to blame? Probably not as much as the person that actually gave the information, but she certainly shouldn't have put the call through, and we don't know what was said between deceased and the nurse that actually gave out the information.
Either way, the DJs should be taking the bulk of the heat here. I hope they never get back on the air. Despicable people abusing people to get ratings. There's consolation in the fact that it's likely the station will have it's broadcast license revoked (again).

Australia radio station which staged pregnant Kate phone prank forced girl to confess to her mother she was raped when she was 12
The broadcaster was handed the first reprimand three years ago after a young teenager was pushed into revealing live on air that she had been raped as he(sic) mother listened.
The journalist for New Limited made the complaint to the ACMA after she was verbally assaulted by the Breakfast DJ after she dared to to criticise his work.
He was reported as saying: 'What a fat bitter thing you are, you deputy editor of an online thing. You've got a nothing job anyway. You're a piece of s**t," he said.
'You're a bulls**t artist, girl. That's what you are. You should be fired from your job."
'Yeah, and your blouse. You haven't got that much t***y to be wearing that low-cut a blouse. Watch your mouth, girl, or I will hunt you down.'

Im in two minds about this, i mean yes its terrible news someone committed suicide and sympathy goes out to her family, but then again it aimed to be harmless joke that sadly unfortunately back fired, how were they supposed to know that she was close to the edge?
This wasnt the first prank call or will it be the last and it certainly wont be the last joke done. If you think the DJs should be taken to court etc, then maybe you should think about blanket ban on every joke out there, just in case someone takes it badly. Also maybe you should be having a go at the media for blowing the whole situation up when all the nurse did was forward the call, also maybe you should complain about the hospital not making protocols more clear before having a go at the DJs

Comedian Wil Anderson, a former presenter on Austereo's Triple M network, said he felt sorry for Christian and Greig.
"Firstly, I have sympathy for the nurse and her family because this is a terrible tragedy," he said. "But I also have a fair degree of sympathy for these kids.
"At an Austereo meeting, the number one thing is often, 'Which prank or 'gotcha' calls are we going to do today?'
"Personally, I hate prank calls and I didn't do them because I feel uncomfortable when everyone is laughing at one person – and that person doesn't know why.
"In this case, the first alarm bell should have been calling a pregnant woman who was sick in hospital, with a chance she could have lost her baby. That's when the grown-ups in the room should have said, 'Do we want to go ahead with this?'."
Anderson said the presenters would never have expected their silly accents and claim to be royals would be believed by the hospital.
"I assume this didn't go live to air, so at some point, an adult should have said, 'We're not going to play this'," he said.
"These are kids who are trying to make a name in an industry where Kyle Sandilands [another Australian radio DJ, for our overseas readers] gets all the attention. It's a culture where you're told, 'Make some noise, be talked about, get in the papers'. You're not instructed to be talked about in a positive way; they just want you to be talked about.
"Is the culture of radio to blame? Possibly. But people make thousands of these prank calls each year and they usually result in good material. These kids have done something that I find distasteful but it's something that many other presenters have done without any negative consequences.
"It all comes back to, 'Who's the adult in the room?' After the surprise of actually getting through to the hospital, it's the job of the adults to decide whether it goes to air."

David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.
THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 01 October 2012 09:34AM
The Irish bookmaker delivered a series of cheeky messages in the skies, which are reported to have angered the losing US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III.
This stunt involved five planes "writing" tweets in the sky, which had been originally tweeted by European Ryder Cup fans, and was enacted in association with Crispin Porter & Bogusky and media agency M2M.
The messages were visible from more than 20 miles away and supported the Europeans while taunting their US opponents, particularly Tiger Woods.
Tweets that appeared in the sky included: "Spirit of Seve", a reference to European Ryder Cup hero Seve Ballesteros; "Mrs Dufner is hot", a reference to the wife of US player Jason Dufner; and "Retweet this Poults", referring to inspirational European player Ian Poulter.
In all, the sky tweet involved 40 Twitter messages from European fans written in the sky over the course of the final two days of the competition.
The planes were able to relay fans' tweets through a complex computer programme.
The technical delivery of the skywriting was handled by Curb Media.

Isn't this the reddest Midyear you've ever seen? A lot of folks, especially those with crimson-hued Top Flight winners may disagree. But, if Jerry Heasley's photos are any indication, this one glows like a lit taillight when the sun hits its finish. "I spent about 200 hours with a random-orbital buffer on that body," says its owner, Dave Laney. "The more I worked on that paint, the deeper and more metallic it appeared," he says of the House of Kolor Cimarron Red that covers its original fiberglass.
That attention to the body and paint is one aspect of this car that Dave changed, upgraded, or made perfect in his way. When he bought it, it already had the 502-inch Mark IV big-block in it and that red finish on it. But it wasn't quite done...yet. "When I got it, it was about 65-70 percent of what you see there," Dave recalls from his Lenexa, Kansas, home. "A friend of mine, Tom Russell, performed top-gun wrenching abilities on the suspension. It's a full Vette Brakes & Products (VBP) C2X suspension kit that I had chromed."
But, chrome wasn't a surface-finish option that VBP offered. "When I called them up to order it, they asked me what color I wanted to powdercoat it. I said, 'I don't want it powdercoated, I just want it in bare steel. I said, 'I'm going to chrome it-everything except for the carbon-fiber springs.'" Dave called on Bubb, Harry, and Dale at A&A Plating in nearby Independence, Missouri, and their work resulted in the dazzling chassis hardware you see under this C2.
But Dave wasn't done. "I added the Flaming River stainless steel tilt column and their 'Waterfall' steering wheel, which was new at the time," he says. "I also took an NOS '65 horn button and adapted it to that steering wheel."
One interior feature took some outside help to figure out how to put on-the five-point belts that hold you into the restored stock bucket seats. Dave called on Larry Barnett of Star Chassis, a shop that makes NHRA-certified drag race chassis, to help him devise a way to anchor those belts without cutting fiberglass or welding on the frame. "I did some research and found that I could go into the birdcage, which is the only steel other than the frame," he says. "I figured if I could get into it and build a plate, bracket, and harness bar that fits in there, that would suffice." Dave had autocrossed a '65 Sting Ray coupe called "Smokum" in the '70s and wanted something that made him feel more secure in a 600-horsepower convertible.
The result was a computer-designed bar, located aft of the seats, that was ready a few weeks later. There's also a bar under each seat where the "anti-submarining" strap anchors, which, like the shoulder-belt anchorages, is a bolt-on item that's easily removed to get the '65 back to stock if desired. "Larry had the one-piece bar installed, and he said, 'I spent about 85 percent of my time on the computer doing 3-D modeling of this thing, and 15 percent of the time actually doing the welding. I cut it once, I welded it once, and it works!'" Dave wanted Larry to make some more for friends with drop-top C2s but Larry stopped that by pointing out that he had to "custom-tailor" them, taking six hours just to do the needed measurements. "Larry said, 'If I make those, none of them will fit their cars, because every convertible has settled differently."
Dave doesn't foresee restoring this one to stock, especially under the hood. That's where a 454, bored-and-stroked to 502 cubic inches, resides. As mentioned above, Dave figures that the dual-quad-equipped big-block is good for 600 horsepower, but not many miles per gallon. "There are two 650-cfm Carter competition mechanical-linkage four-barrels on it," he says. "The very first time that I figured out how much mileage I was getting, I drove it to a Corvette show in Liberty, Missouri, which is about 36 miles from my house. It's all highway, and I was in fifth gear all the way at 70 mph." When he got home, he thought his gas gauge was broken. It wasn't-Dave had used over 3/4 of a tank to go 72 miles!" The upside of that engine: "Unbelieveable acceleration," as Dave puts it.
It's got a functioning sound system that's music to his ears-disguised as a side-mount exhaust system. Sanderson "block hugger" headers flow into custom-made collectors and tubing under stock sidepipe covers, but the openings face outward, instead of downward as on the factory setups. Dave says he doesn't know if the radio in the dash works, as he never listens to it while underway.

The Lele make masks that have much in common with those of their Bushoong, Shoowa, and Ngeende neighbors of the Kuba kingdom but are much more rare. Stylistically, they are usually much flatter than those of the Kuba and are generally decorated with red and white pigments. This Lele carver made imaginative and skillful use of pigment to underline volume contrasts such as the convex, almond-shaped eyes–with multiple eyebrows stacked on top of each other to accentuate the eyes–and the pronounced relief of the nose, ears, and cicatrization marks.
The masks appear principally at the funerals of chiefs and elders but are also used in annual performances that celebrate and teach the history of Lele origins and migrations. In those performances, they are associated with the founding clans of the communities, who have superior status to the members of clans that arrived later.

I've felt so swamped lately…hopefully getting in some routine will get me back on track. Or at least make me feel like I'm back on track…doing it is another story. I have been sewing a tiny bit in between family visiting.
But right now I'm going to sit on my porch and watch my kids fight while I read these:

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Flexibility in meeting change is vital to the success of American democracy. And seldom has change come so quickly as in this era.
Facing New Fears and New Responsibilities
Before World War II, Congress spent less than half the year in session. With government increasingly active in meeting domestic and foreign challenges in the postwar years, Congress became a fully staffed, year-round legislative body.
After the war, anxiety fueled by the Cold War helped Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin use the Senate to hunt for Communists allegedly working in the government. A decade later, in the 1960s, civil rights and the Vietnam War dominated Senate debate. In the 1970s, the Senate Watergate Committee investigated presidential misconduct, while members also focused attention on Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union, and the Panama Canal. As the 20th century gave way to the 21st, worldwide issues of poverty, disease, and illiteracy inflamed the international political climate and required attention from U.S. policymakers.
The Senate has changed significantly over the past two centuries. However, despite important innovations, the Senate remains a symbol of continuity. Senators still treasure the tradition of virtually unlimited debate. They enjoy the ability to amend legislation throughout the legislative process. The Senate still conducts groundbreaking investigations, and scrutinizes—and sometimes rejects—presidential nominations to executive and judicial offices. As Senator Henry Cabot Lodge observed more than one hundred years ago, "Administrations come and go, Houses assemble and disperse, Senators change, but the Senate is always there in the Capitol, and always organized, with an existence unbroken since 1789."
As America and the Soviet Union faced off in the Cold War, sensational charges of Soviet spying triggered congressional investigations. In 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy, a Wisconsin Republican, accused the State Department of harboring "known Communists." When McCarthy became Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations three years later, he set out to prove his charges.
McCarthy called hundreds of witnesses, browbeating and intimidating them. His charges of Communist subversion in the U.S. Army culminated in the 1954 televised Army–McCarthy hearings. When Army Counsel Joseph Welch challenged the senator's reckless charges, asking, "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" McCarthy's support eroded. The Senate later censured him for conduct unbecoming a senator.
"Senator Ervin: Do we have the manhood in the Senate to stand up to a challenge of that kind?
Senator Arthur V. Watkins: I think we do. I may be a coward, but I will not compromise with that kind of attack. . . . I will not compromise on matters of principle.
—Congressional Record, November 16, 1954
"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"
—Army Counsel Joseph Welch, June 9, 1954
The question in the summer of 1964 was not whether senators would approve a civil rights bill, but whether they would vote on one. Using classic filibuster techniques (long speeches and procedural delays), opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act delayed a vote for 57 days. Ending debate required two-thirds of the Senate—67 senators.
On June 10, 1964, for the first time since the Reconstruction era just after the Civil War, a coalition uniting many Republicans with northern and western Democrats successfully ended the filibuster. Nine days later, the Senate approved the bill. The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned racial discrimination in public facilities and required equal employment opportunities for all Americans, regardless of race. "Stronger than all the armies," said Republican minority leader Everett Dirksen, quoting Victor Hugo, "is an idea whose time has come."
"We dare not temporize with the issue which is before us. It is essentially moral in character. It must be resolved. It will not go away. Its time has come."
—Senator Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, June 10, 1964
The Constitution makes the president commander in chief of the armed forces, but gives Congress the power to declare war, sometimes creating tension between the two branches. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman J. William Fulbright was an early supporter of America's efforts against the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia. He supported the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964, authorizing American military retaliation against North Vietnamese attacks. When President Lyndon Johnson used the resolution as the equivalent of a declaration of war, Senator Fulbright launched a series of hearings to explore the reasons for America's escalating participation in the conflict. Both supporters and critics of the Vietnam War testified in hearings that continued until 1972. The often-televised investigation promoted a national debate over the Vietnam War and gave encouragement to the growing antiwar movement.
Five men were arrested in June 1972 for illegally entering the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington's Watergate building. Republican president Richard Nixon denied any connection between the burglary and his reelection campaign. Yet, suspicions lingered. After Nixon's landslide victory in November, the Senate appointed a special committee to investigate the matter.
In televised hearings, the Watergate committee, chaired by North Carolina senator Sam Ervin, grilled key administration figures. The committee soon discovered that Nixon had secretly recorded his Oval Office conversations, and the Supreme Court ordered the president to give these tapes to a special prosecutor. They revealed Nixon's role in the cover-up. The Senate hearings swayed public opinion and helped lead to an impeachment effort in the House—halted abruptly by President Nixon's resignation. The Watergate affair reinforced the Senate's investigative role and—into the 21st century—strengthened its vigilance against abuses of governmental power.
As the Senate moved into the 21st century, it exhibited much continuity with the institution created two centuries earlier. Yet some things had changed. Senate proceedings in the chamber and in the hearing rooms were now televised, giving the public unprecedented access. Electronic mail and the Internet provided nearly instantaneous communication between senators and their constituents. The membership of the Senate, like the population of the nation, grew more diverse with more women and minorities winning elections. The election of 2000 caused a rare tie between the parties in the Senate, beginning an era of close party divisions, frequent party turnover, and shorter tenures for Senate leaders. Throughout all of this change, senators continue to promote the nation's goals and aspirations, while meeting the demands of security in a troubled world.

FIRST was very quick to pick up the NXT for usage with FLL, so I don't think it's an issue of "slow to implement" - with the Color Sensor, it's definitely got everything to do with availability. Unless (Until) LEGO decides to offer it as an item available for individual purchase, FIRST will have to block it from competition to keep things fair - the Light Sensor is perfectly suitable (still) for line-following and identifying the basic colors used on an FLL mat.
I agree, however, that FIRST should pursue trying to get the sensor more available so its features can be used in future FLL competitions.

Assaulted Barrow taxi driver calls for CCTV cameras in cabs
Last updated at 18:49, Tuesday, 12 February 2013
TAXI drivers need more protection from violent customers, cabbies have claimed.
Mark Kyte, who works for A1 taxis in Barrow since the summer, picked up a fare in the town late on Saturday night.
During the journey to Millom, the customer was sick inside the cab and Mr Kyte told him he would need to pay to cover cleaning costs.
When they arrived the customer refused to pay the extra and Mr Kyte ended up being assaulted.
He reported the incident to police, and handed over a DVD of CCTV footage from inside his cab, but was disappointed when the man was only given a caution.
"The police said that as he had no convictions in the past 10 years, they would only give him a caution," the 38-year-old cabbie said.
"I wasn't badly hurt but it made me very angry that he'd only been given a warning."
Mr Kyte's boss, A1 co-owner Paul Brereton, said the police should be coming down hard on those who assault taxi drivers.
"Taxi drivers are vulnerable because they're on their own most of the time," Mr Brereton said.
Mr Brereton, whose firm has 80 drivers on its books, also believes all taxis should be fitted with CCTV, a sentiment backed by Barrow community sergeant John McIntosh.
Sgt McIntosh said: "If CCTV is fitted, and customers are made aware it is fitted, then it acts as a deterrent. It also allows us in identifying offenders."
Bob Mullen, a Barrow taxi driver of 15 years, warned that some cabbies may consider taking their protection into their own hands.
"Some drivers are talking about arming themselves – it's mainly hot air but the very fact they're talking about it just shows how serious the issue is," he said.
Police said they arrested and cautioned a 40-year-old man from Millom after the incident. A spokeswoman for Cumbria police said: "This was an appropriate and proportionate outcome for the circumstances of the offence and individual involved."

Have your say
I think cameras are brilliant idea not just for the drivers but for there passangers. AS when i phoned last week to phone about a taxi driver having a cigarette in his car they said they would check the cctv in his car! NO ONE DESERVES TO BE ASSAULTED in there job.Just the same as people should not have to breath in stale cigarette smoke
NOONE said the taxi driver deserved it and yes there are some good taxi drivers in the town.Not all taxi drivers are compassinate towards the eldery or disabled on many occasions i have witnessed old people trying to struggle down there path while the taxi driver sat on his phone ! AND TAXI DRIVERS do think they own the road and as for the dole ive never clamied it so would not know about getting a taxi there !

Federal program to buy out flooded homeBy SANDI SWITZER
Correspondent | April 26,2013CLARENDON A home on Cold River Road damaged by Tropical Storm Irene was approved for a buyout under a federal disaster program.
Funds from the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the state will be used to purchase the Prescott property.
FEMA notified town officials that Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds will be used to buy the property at 75 percent of the fair market value the day before the tropical storm.
In addition, the property will automatically be considered for a 25 percent match through the Community Development Block Grant program.
Select Board Chairman Michael Klopchin said the landowners were informed of FEMAs decision. They are very pleased, he said.
Klopchin told fellow board members this week that the town would have to submit documentation for the grant before receiving any funds.
Administrative assistant Linda Trombley said she had reviewed all the forms with Town Treasurer Rebecca Mandolare. Theres going to be a lot of paperwork involved, she said.
According to FEMA officials, the town and the homeowner, will be guided through the implementation phase once a grant agreement has been completed.
Due to the complexity of this process and multiple federal funding sources, be advised that it will take a minimum of 60 to 120 days before a property transfer or closing can take place, said Ray Doherty, state hazard mitigation officer.
Weekly conference calls by the states Emergency Management and Homeland Security division will help the town through the buyout process, Doherty said.
The project will require the property to be appraised, with the value submitted to the state. Funds are then awarded to the community and used to buy the home, demolish the structure, clean up the site and turn the land into green space.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

This is the spanish version of the show's first opening theme, Chala Head Chala, Sung by Ricardo Silva.
Note: It's the spanish version cause I watched nearly the entire series in spanish as it aired on the channel telemundo here in the 90's.
Extra Note: No, I don't speak a word of spanish and it didn't have subtitles.
