At World First we love the water. Our water sports travel insurance policies cover a wide range of water sports and activities as standard, including surfing, snorkelling and windsurfing. We also offer scuba diving travel insurance to 30 metres, as well as cover for water polo, swimming with dolphins and kayaking.
Since many of our travel insurance policies include lots of water sports as standard, it means you can choose from any of the levels of cover you get with our Economy, Standard or Superior policies. Each offers different benefits, with each offering medical cover (up to £10 million with our Superior policy), 24/7 emergency assistance, personal liability, luggage, cash and documents cover too.
If you opt for one of our Longstay policies we'll still be able to cover you for lots of sports and activities for periods of up to 365 days away from home. But if you need cover for surgical strikes when the waves are good then an annual multi trip policy offers different levels of cover with Economy, Standard and Superior policy options – the same as our Single Trip policies, except you get to travel as often as you like. We also offer medical travel insurance with cover for 1000s of medical conditions - so don't let your health issues stop you from hitting the water. We certainly won't.
We offer a 14 day money back guarantee on all policies and can cover 1000s of medical conditions. We also offer a choice of policies to suit you and the way you travel – and it's very easy to buy a World First water sports travel insurance policy online or by phone. Either way, you can be covered in minutes, even if you have a medical condition.

Whether you're learning in the Canaries or heading off for tropical shores to ride the big kahuna, We've got you covered with up to £10 million of medical expenses, up to £2 million of personal liability and 24/7 emergency assistance.
Taking off? Great. Don't go without us. With 24/7 emergency assistance, a minimum of £1 million in personal liability and up to £10 million in medical expenses, the last thing you need to worry about is your insurance.
The sky is the limit when it comes to kite surfing travel insurance with us. Well, actually, £10 million is the limit of our medical cover on our Superior policy. Along with cover for money, luggage and valuables it'll be more than enough to take care of you if the worst happens when you are away.
Whenever you hit the water our scuba diving travel insurance won't leave you high and dry. You can choose the level of cover to suit your budget and the way you travel, with up to £10 million worth of medical cover available with our Superior policy.

The Barnes County Sheriff's Department, Valley City Fire Department and the North Dakota Highway Patrol responded to a truck fire that contained hazardous, radioactive material Monday at about 3 p.m. on exit 298 on Interstate 94.
Barnes County Sheriff's Deputy Don Fiebiger, who was at the scene, said flames were coming out of the brakes, which had overheated, and the truck driver had put the fire out himself. The fire department responded just to cool off the brake drums.
The V-500 Board of Directors held its annual Recognition Dinner on Saturday, Dec. 8 on the Valley City State University campus
V-500 is a scholarship program founded in 1972 by a group of people who realized the importance of scholarship support for Valley City State University students.
A highlight of the dinner was Dean Pedersen receiving the first volunteer of the year award given out by the V-500 board.
Pedersen said he was honored because "I got the most referrals" for people interested in helping the scholarship program.
In Barnes County last year 720 people were victims of abuse. A total of 783 people in Barnes and surrounding counties. Of those, 638 adults and 38 children were victims of domestic violence. Another 31 adults were victims of sexual assault and 82 adults were victims of other types of abuse including terrorizing, assault, stalking, menacing and harassment According to the Abused Persons Outreach Center, Inc.
And those are just the cases that are reported. According to Michelle Grebel of the APOC domestic abuse is a silent crime because it's so under-reported.
After losing its first game of the year to Wahpeton Friday, the Valley City High School boys basketball team was determined to come out strong in the opening game of the Barnes County Tournament Tuesday at W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse.
The Vikings did just that, beating Griggs County Central 66-40 in the opening game of the tournament.
For the Maple Valley High School boys basketball team, the 2012 Barnes County Tournament isn't just about winning a title as much. Rather, the Raiders are defending a legacy after winning the championship the last two years.
Tuesday at Osmon Fieldhouse the Raiders had a successful start to the 2012 tournament, beating Finley-Sharon/Hope-Page 65-36 in the tournament's opening contest.
"We want to be back in that championship game on Saturday night, and that's what we talked about," Maple Valley coach Jay Kocka said. "Step one is complete, step two will be Thursday."
The Valley City Parks and Recreation District is looking for people interested in a seat on the district board opened up by the resignation of a member.
Taylor Jacobson, district director, said "a Parks and Recreation District board member resigned, and we're looking for letters of interest by people wanting to fill it."
Jacobson said the appointment to the open position will run through June of 2014.
Jacobson said the seat was held by Brent Gustafson, who resigned because he moved outside city limits.
The Abused Persons Outreach Center, Inc. in Valley City needs toilet paper to give to families in need, and second-graders at Jefferson Elementary School hope to collect enough of it to build a Christmas tree at the school on December 18.
Assuming each student brings in one roll of toilet paper, the tree could include 111 rolls.
People who may have been exposed to a rabid cat in Jamestown last month should contact the North Dakota State Department of Health.
The cat was found Nov. 30 by local animal control authorities close to the Tesoro gas station at 2015 Eighth Avenue S.W. in Jamestown. The adult female cat was an orange and white tabby with long hair and was declawed.
The cat tested positive for rabies at the North Dakota Department of Health's Division of Laboratory Services on Dec. 6.
Valley City's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Valley City Wetland Management District office is looking for Valley City and Barnes County residents to participate in a Christmas Bird Count Wednesday, Dec. 19, said Terry Gwilliams, range technician.
For the first game of the season, it had the feel and intensity of a playoff game. Wahpeton guard Lachelle Bumgarner shot the lights out with 38 points, but Valley City didn't back down. Four Hi-Liners scored in double digits as Valley City escaped with a 83-78 road win Saturday afternoon in double overtime.
" It would have been a long week to lose tonight, especially a game like this. This is a huge boost," Valley City coach Jim McDaniel said. "(It was) a very exciting game. I wasn't expecting to go a couple of overtimes."

Missouri's Department of Revenue which has the MO driver's guide online notes that one penalty for driving on a suspended license. Here it notes that if you drive while your license is suspended, your driving privilege may be revoked for one year after conviction. If you continue to drive while your license is revoked, you may be convicted of a felony and have your license revoked again for one year.
Missouri Revised Statute 302.321 is titled Driving while license or driving privilege is canceled, suspended or revoked, penalty--enhanced penalty for repeat offenders--imprisonment, mandatory, exception.
The wording of this statute is as follows:
1. A person commits the crime of driving while revoked if such person operates a motor vehicle on a highway when such person's license or driving privilege has been canceled, suspended, or revoked under the laws of this state or any other state and acts with criminal negligence with respect to knowledge of the fact that such person's driving privilege has been canceled, suspended, or revoked.
2. Any person convicted of driving while revoked is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Any person with no prior alcohol-related enforcement contacts as defined in section 302.525, convicted a fourth or subsequent time of driving while revoked or a county or municipal ordinance of driving while suspended or revoked where the defendant was represented by or waived the right to an attorney in writing, and where the prior three driving-while-revoked offenses occurred within ten years of the date of occurrence of the present offense; and any person with a prior alcohol-related enforcement contact as defined in section 302.525, convicted a third or subsequent time of driving while revoked or a county or municipal ordinance of driving while suspended or revoked where the defendant was represented by or waived the right to an attorney in writing, and where the prior two driving-while-revoked offenses occurred within ten years of the date of occurrence of the present offense and where the person received and served a sentence of ten days or more on such previous offenses is guilty of a class D felony. No court shall suspend the imposition of sentence as to such a person nor sentence such person to pay a fine in lieu of a term of imprisonment, nor shall such person be eligible for parole or probation until such person has served a minimum of forty-eight consecutive hours of imprisonment, unless as a condition of such parole or probation, such person performs at least ten days involving at least forty hours of community service under the supervision of the court in those jurisdictions which have a recognized program for community service. Driving while revoked is a class D felony on the second or subsequent conviction pursuant to section 577.010, RSMO, or a fourth or subsequent conviction for any other offense.
A class A misdemeanor in Missouri comes with a maximum penalty of up to 1 year in jail, and a fine of up to $1000.
As you can tell Missouri has serious penalties for those that are found driving on a suspended license. If you cannot get your driver driving privilege back, but you need to drive for employment or other important matters, you should try applying for a Missouri Limited Driving Privilege (LDP). The MO DOR states you may get such privileges unless you have certain convictions or losses of driving privilege on your driving record. Some convictions or loss of driving privilege are so serious that an LDP may not be granted so check with the DOR to see if you can get the LDP is you currently have your license suspended. Visit our state page to find our more about Missouri car insurance and state laws.

Plan panel remained in news for wrong reasons in 2012

Planning Commission remained in news this year for wrong reasons like fixing poverty line at Rs 28.65 per capita daily in urban areas, spending Rs 35 lakh on refurbishing toilets and slashing average economic growth rate for the 12th Plan to 8 per cent.
It all began in March with the Planning Commission coming out with poverty numbers based on the Tendulkar Committee methodology which raised many eyebrows and drew flak from all corners.
According to its poverty data released in March, an individual above a monthly consumption of Rs 859.6 in urban and Rs 672.8 in rural areas would no longer be considered as poor. The data was used to compute poverty numbers for 2009-10.
These numbers were used by the civil society activists to show that persons with consumption of over Rs 28.65 per day in urban area and Rs 22.42 per day in rural area were above poverty line.
The data which were provided to the Supreme Court created public outcry.
The Commission in its affidavit before the apex court earlier in 2011 had said that "poverty line at June 2011 price level can be placed provisionally at Rs 965 (Rs 32 per day) per capita per month in urban areas and Rs 781 (Rs 26 per day) in rural areas".
Following uproar over fixing poverty line too low, the Commission constituted an expert group headed by noted economist C Rangarajan in May to review the Tendulkar Committee methodology for estimating poverty. It was announced that the committee would submit its report in 7-9 months.
However, that did not happen and Plan Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia at December 27 meeting of the National Development Council (NDC) said that the Rangarajan Committee would submit its report in June, 2013.
Even before the controversy could subside, the Commission made headlines for incurring Rs 35 lakh expenditure for renovating toilets at Yojana Bhawan which houses the body in the capital.

Democrats look forward to punishing Big Oil
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday
On Thursday, House Democrats are prepared to vote on a bill that they say will roll back about $13 billion dollars worth of subsidies that the Bush Administration and Congress have given oil companies. The move is part of the House Democrats 100 hour legislative blitz. The Democrats package consists of 3 main parts – one would be to impose a 'conservation fee' on about 40 companies producing oil in the Gulf of Mexico that have leases from 1998 and 1999 and which failed to include a clause requiring royalty payments if oil prices, rose, which they did Jerry Karnas is Director for the Global Warming Campaign for the South National Wildlife Federation (roll tape#1 o.q."that oversite") Democrats are also poised to reduce accelerated tax write-offs for oil and gas exploration expenses, and shrink a tax depreciation measure that gives oil and gas companies in the U.S. the equivalent of a 1% corporate tax reduction. Jerry Karnas from the Southern Chapter of the National Wildlife Federation says that theDemocrats then plan on redirecting some of the money into a new fund that will promote clean, renewable energy alternatives. And he says that Tampa Bay's Congressional Delegation will loom large over this coming vote on Thursday (roll tape#2 o.q. "".

You need root both to export the directory and to mount it. See my other post
for why NFS over the net is a bad idea.

I tied up a bunch of Czech Nymphs last year following Oliver Edwards' directions. They are easy flies to tie - given the proper materials - and look great. However, as a single point fly, they are outshined by my simple beadhead sparkle squirrel nymphs. I will look for more opportunities to fish them as a team this year sometime.

Amore Opera Presents LA BOHEME, 12/14
This Winter, Amore Opera revives its classic production of Puccini's timeless masterpiece La Bohème. This production launched the company's inaugural season, and its revival promises to be equally riveting. La Boheme is an opera in four acts, with libretto by Luigi Illica. Based on Scènes de la Vie de Bohème by Henri Murger, it is the story of a group of young bohemians living in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840's, and the tragic tale of two lovers doomed by circumstance and illness. La Bohème is fully staged with full orchestra and presented in its original Italian (with subtitles).
Amore Opera's production will be directed once again by Nathan Hull, and Gregory Ortega, who led the orchestra for last season's production of La Traviata, will conduct. Maestro Ortega has conducted with most of the major small opera companies in New York City, Boston and Florida, including New Rochelle Opera, Treasure Coast Opera and New York Concert Artists, in addition to having founded The Hunter College Opera Theater. Director Nathan Hull staged this season's Don Pasquale and the critically acclaimed American Debut of Olivo e Pasquale. He also directed last season's successful American premiere of I due Figaro.
Amore Opera will round out its winter offering with an "Opera-in-Brief" presentation of La Bohème. These ever popular, 90-minute performances of abridged works are geared towards young audiences and families, and are a great way to introduce children to the splendor of operatic performances. (Please note that due to the Hurricane, the production of "Scrooge & Gilbert & Sullivan" has been delayed until Dec. 2013).
Additionally, Amore will host its annual New Year's Eve gala. In addition to a ticket to the evening's performance of La Bohème, the gala includes hors d'oeuvres, dinner between acts, a champagne toast at midnight, and a special post-midnight concert.
All performances are at the Connelly Theater (220 East 4th Street), located on the South Side of East 4th Street between Avenues A & B. The closest subway is the F train at 2nd Avenue-Houston Street, 1st Avenue exit.
General admission is $40.00 and $30.00 for students and seniors. Tickets for the New Year's Eve Gala are $125. All tickets for the Opera-in-Briefs are $15.00.
Tickets can be purchased directly on the Amore Opera website at www.amoreopera.org or by calling 1-888- 811-4111.

Fall term: Graciela Michelotti
Spring term: Full Spanish Department Faculty
The course consists of two one-semester parts.
The first, taken in the Fall semester of Senior year, has the format of a seminar under the supervision of one Spanish Department faculty member. The purpose of this seminar is to prepare students for the research and writing their Senior Theses by
Enhancing and refining the reading tools and critical approaches to texts in Spanish acquired in previous courses.
Elucidating and contextualizing relevant aspects of literary history, theory, and culture.
Determining the thesis topic, key secondary sources and approach to be deployed in writing the thesis.
Polishing the skills and methods for successful research and proper use of available resources.
Problems in literary and cultural analysis --selected with a view to their pertinence in relation to the group's interests-- are presented through close readings of works from various periods and genres and through selected works of criticism or theory. The second part involves the actual process of writing the thesis. Seminar meetings continue to take place, though less frequently, for progress reports while students work under the supervision of individual professors.

Linux Mint Debian review
This is what this installation steps looks like when all the partitions have been created with GParted. The installer will proceed with the installation even when a swap partition does not exist.
GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, is the only boot loader supported by the installer. This is GRUB 2 and not GRUB legacy. At this stage, the installer shows no support for extra boot loader settings, like password-protection and (boot loader) timeout.
Software Manager: Out of the box, the package manager is pointed at Debian's testing repository with non-free components.
An observation I made about Mint's Software Manager in the review of Linux Mint 9 is the need for a separate category for security application. I think it would make it easier to browse through the list of security and security-related applications available on the system. I hope Clem and the Mint team will take this suggestion in to consideration at some point before they roll out the stable version.
Final Thoughts: I am sure that Mint fans are rejoicing over the rolling updates feature of Linux Mint Debian. While I acknowledge that rolling updates is a very cool feature, I would like to see Clem and crew live up to their promise to make this edition "as similar as possible as the main edition." For me, an important part of that promise is to see an installer that is, feature for feature, a match for the Debian installer.
The new installer on this experimental release bears no resemblance to that on its parent distribution. The Debian installer is a full-featured one. It has support for most features that are standard on the best Linux installation programs – full disk encryption, LVM, and RAID. If Linux Mint Debian aims to be "as similar as possible" to its parent distribution, that similarity should extend to the installation program.
In many respects, a distribution's installation program is what sets it apart from others. All things being equal, it is the reason I would rather use Sabayon than, say, Mint, or Fedora rather than Ubuntu desktop (not Ubuntu with text installer).

I agree with Disposed. If you think there is no difference between a distro that's based off the rock solid Debian and the more buggy Ubuntu then you're less informed than I thought. Add to the fact that with LMDE you can keep your system maintained without downloading more ISOs. Now I will go to Mint 9 and see their review of Iceweasel 😛
This review makes no sense. The installer is the least important part of a distribution. You install it once then forget it.
LMDE is not identical to the ubuntu versions you should have done a full review and found out the real differences instead of wasting 2 pages on the freaking installer.
There will be performance differences, different packages available etc. a competent reviewer would have gone over these things instead of pissing around with the stupid installer.
I was hoping get more thoughts from the reviewer about the system after it was installed and running. 99.99% of the time I spend with a distribution is post-install. At that point, I'm not really that concerned with how the install process went. I'm more concerned with how easy the system is to administer- what tools are provided by the distro facilitate system administration, etc..
Good for Debian. It is a great news. More power on the testing and looking forward for it. I have great views pertaining to it. Thanks for the great post. More power.
I think what they meant by "as similar as possible to the main edition" is to be similar to the main edition of Mint, i.e. the Gnome Ubuntu based version.
Very, very curious
Is apparmor (for firefox or other browser) included in the default install?

Pierson forward Forrest Loesch, who a year ago hit a shot at the buzzer to beat Stony Brook in the Suffolk County Class C Championship game, cut right to the chase in a rematch of the Class C final last Thursday, February 14 with a torrid scoring pace that had the Bears clinging to a 26-22 lead at halftime.
And then, in the blink of an eye, the wheels fell off for the Whalers.
Stony Brook (15-3) outscored Pierson 31-5 in the second half, including a 15-1 run to start the third quarter, and got revenge in the form of a 57-27 win that gave the Bears this year's Class C title.
The Whalers saw their season come to a disappointing end with an overall record of 12-8.
"We were thinking about this game since last summer," Stony Brook head coach Mike Hickey said. "Pierson is a terrific team. Normally when you play someone in the playoffs, I would go and scout the team. We didn't have to do that with them. We know them very well so it just came down to execution."
Junior big man Andrew Daniel led the Bears with 15 points and 13 rebounds while senior Marco Masakayan had 13 points and eight assists.
With the win, Stony Brook advanced to the Long Island Class C Championship game on March 5 and also played Bridgehampton in the Suffolk C-D game yesterday, February 20, at Patchogue-Medford, with the winner having advanced to the Small Schools championship game this Saturday, February 23.
Pierson, meanwhile, will look to the offseason and the return of both Loesch and starting point guard Ian Barrett. Loesch led Pierson with 16 points against Stony Brook, but only had three in the second half. Barrett was held to just two points and Pierson as a team shot 2-for-26 in the second half.
"At halftime I walked into the locker room feeling pretty good," Pierson head coach Dan White said. "But you have to be able to make more than two buckets. Obviously Stony Brook's defense was good, but it wasn't 2-for-26 good. We missed a lot of shots that we normally would make, and what ends up happening is, it's like a disease. Instead of just playing Stony Brook, you're playing the rim."
Senior Jake Bennett, playing in the final game of an outstanding season, scored seven points and fouled out with 4:27 remaining.
Joey Butts, Patrick Sloane and Jackson Marienfeld, who were all key components to the rotation, will graduate this spring along with reserves Aiden Kirrane and Liam Doyle.
"I feel bad for them because they had very high expectations," White said when asked about the senior class. "With regard to the seniors, they restored Pierson basketball. They went 21-7 in the league, went to back-to-back county finals and won one of them, so they were successful."
White said all his players improved individually from last season, but that the team as a whole was not as strong as last year, mostly because of two injuries suffered by Butts and Barrett. White said that Butts broke his arm last summer and as a result has little feeling in three of his fingers. The senior guard, who was All-League as a junior, struggled shooting the ball this season and finished with just two points in last week's championship game.
Barrett hurt his knee early this year and sat out half the season while the rest of the team continued on without their floor leader. Eventually Barrett returned to the line-up, but an offense that once excelled with him as the point guard never fully came back up to speed.
"We were very dependent on Ian Barrett last year," White said. "But when you're out for two months, not only was he not getting better, but we became a different team. Between Joey's injury and Ian's injury, we weren't as good as we were last year."
Speaking on Tuesday after having several days to reflect on the season, White said his biggest challenge going into the off-season will be to develop some defensive talent to replace the graduating seniors, especially Bennett, who White said was the best defender in League VIII this year. Pierson's junior varsity team was undefeated in league play this season so the school does have some up-and-coming talent to match with Barrett, Loesch and the rest of the returning players from this year's team.
"I think we'll be better offensively because Ian and Forrest can have big years next year," White said. "But we are light years worse defensively. When you lose Jake, Joey, Patrick and Jackson, all of who could shut down a big man or a guard on any given night, they're going to be hard to replace. And that's up to me this off-season."
