The motorcycle chronicles of Jackie & Valentino

Oviedo, the capital of the Principality of Asturias.
Asturians are a very proud people. They say that "Asturias es España y lo demás tierra reconquistada"
Meaning that Asturias is Spain and what's left is land re-claimed. It mostly holds true because at a point in history, practically everything to the north was French, and most everything to the south was Moor (Berber and Arab).
Two monks, Máximo and Fromestanus, founded the city in 761. But their are traces of occupation since the first century in Roman times. Weather-wise it's quite similar to to Oregon and BC, maybe a bit warmer.
San Miguel de Lillo Pre-Roman
I found the city interesting, it felt a bit like Paris with wide avenues and rounded buildings decorated with, wrought iron balconies.
Jackie was at it again
Its small (187 km2 with a metropolitan population of about 227000), and it sits amid a mountainous region.
A view from the top
The beaches of the Bay of Biscay are less then 25 km away. We were not to impressed by the over develop beach front, to many "pisos"
Because the population is dense and many have apartment in the center, the city is bustling with the daily activity, but not so crowded that you feel engrossed by the density. For reference compare it to Kingston, Ontario with an area of 450 km2 and about 120000 in population, and you get an idea.
We have now being in Oviedo for four days, and are slowly starting to get acclimatized to the rhythm of Spain. There is a day care center next to Liliane aunt's piso, and it is open from 07:45 to 20:00. Most businesses open at 10:00 then close from from 13:30 to 16:30, and then re-open until 20:00. The larger stores and supermarkets are open all day, but close at 18:00.
Companies give their employees at least an hour and a half for lunch, civil servants work from 09:00 to 14:00.
They really like Woody Allen there
The market in the center of town runs 3 times a week, on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Most restaurants and bars are closed one day of the week, and several close on Sunday.
Eating habits takes some getting use to: you have breakfast when you get up, so far so good, easy enough to handle. Then anything after that gets slightly complicated, from 1100 til 1430 only snacks are allowed, locals refer to them, as pinchos or tapas (solo par picar) only to eat a little something.
Then at or around 1430 lunch (la comida) starts, but not much later then 1530. This is usually the biggest meal of the day. Of course during that time snacks are mostly unavailable.
Time for another Paella
After 1600 to at least 1930 it is snack time again (la merienda), but this time it leans more on the sweet side at the cafeteria, or pasteleria.
Since we're on the topic we went to Valor to have Churros con Chocolate, they have been making that stuff since 1889, Churros is a very light dough that is deep fried, sprinkled with sugar, and served hot to dip in dark chocolate presented in a cup at 75 C.
Then from 2000 to about 2230 sometimes later is dinner time (la cena), a fairly light meal.
But not always.
If you think that the Spaniards spend most of their time eating, or drinking something, you've got it figured out. Anytime not mentioned above is usually spent drinking a coffee, a freshly squeezed juice (zumo), a beer, a glass of cider, or a glass of wine in any of the multitude of establishments such as wine bars, and sidrerias that adorn the streets.
Without missing a drop
At the grocery store, we purchased 4 bottles of wine, a 1lt bottle a water, a bag of chips, a lt of orange juice, and a can of anchovies' stuffed olives 11.45 Euros (about $16,00 cdn) and the most expensive item was the OJ. At least they have their priorities straight.
Nothing like a nice piece of meat hanging out at the bar.
We have been privileged to be guided through the city streets by my brother in law (mi Cuñado). Don Heradio Cano Gonzalez. Born in Matagalpa in Nicaragua, he came here during the Sandinist era. A Doctor in law, and a Notary, he's published 2 books. At the young age of 73 he still spends half the day at his law practice.
He maintains a simple approach to life, and most everything he says is tinted with humor. What a privilege it was to have such a guide to enjoy the city with.
He provided us with historical comments on many of the building, and churches we encountered, as well as on the specific aspect of the cultural, social, and political life of the Oviedences and the Asturianos.
We took pictures of the house where Liliane's family was born
On the street that bares her family's name.
Last night we went to a piano concerto featuring the soloist Carmen Peyes.
Tomorrow, Friday we take the Camino del Sur, and head for Santiago de Compostela, in the province of Galicia.
Muchas Gracia Oviedo, hasta luego

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The New King Henrik

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
Henrik Zetterberg's days of anonymity are over.
Well, folks in Detroit would tell you Zetterberg hasn't been a secret to them for a long, long time. But on a Red Wings team loaded with talent, it's also fair to say that the Swedish version of Doug Gilmour – superb offensively, superb defensively – has flown under the radar for the most part during his NHL career.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good... Does anyone actually engage in conversation here?!?!?
I'm a well educated young professional who enjoys going out and doing new things. I live in South Beach and love it here. I'm polite & pleasant to a fault, but I can be sassy. :) I'm regrettably shy at first, but I warm up quickly. I have a busy career and an eventful social life, but I will always make time for things and people that are important to me. I do happen to enjoy a good happy hour now and then and am always looking for the next good venue. Got any suggestions?

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Doraku and Yardbird are among my favorites, but always looking for a new one if you know a good place...
Howard University, Washington, DC
I admit I'm a bit of a video game geek. We all have our vices! I love Games of Thrones (books & show). Nina Simone is one of my all time favorites.
I live down by the beach and enjoy checking out the different restaurants & bars. It's a great place to people watch. I love a Saturday movie matinee & strolling around Lincoln Road shops.
Game of Thrones series and lots of legal boring things. I'm currently obsessed with history podcasts, "stuff you missed in history class"- can't get enough of them.

Lightning name St. Louis their new captain
Oct 1, 2013, 9:08 PM EDT
The Tampa Bay Lightning named star Martin St. Louis their new captain on Tuesday.
Here's a photo of the 38-year-old wearing the "C," via the team:
St. Louis discussed how he'll handle the role.
"It's not all my responsibility," St. Louis said. "That's what I'm looking for as a captain, seeing everybody want to lead."
It almost feels like the appropriate question regarding this nomination isn't the usual "Why him?" Instead, "What took so long?" seems more fitting.
After starting his career with the Calgary Flames, St. Louis has been a fixture in Tampa Bay since the 2000-01 season. He's played 910 of his 979 career regular season games with the Lightning, and it's hard to imagine him failing to reach the 1,000-game mark sometime in 2014-15.
He's been a consistent producer on a franchise that's seen some extreme ups and downs over the year, and chances are strong that he'll keep that up for a while.
- jb8588 - Oct 1, 2013 at 9:13 PM
Even as a huge Vinny fan, this has been long overdue. Marty has deserved this for a long time…time for him to show the fraud captains like Ovi how to really lead a team.
- shamu1the1whale - Oct 1, 2013 at 9:22 PM
Congrats, Martin St. Louis!
- bigbadbruins77 - Oct 1, 2013 at 10:03 PM
huge marty fan! Been watching him since I was a little kid when he played for uvm.
- withseidelinn - Oct 1, 2013 at 10:30 PM
Well deserved. Let Stammer focus on scoring the goals and growing his game even more. He'll get it in due time.
- esracerx46 - Oct 1, 2013 at 10:51 PM
Congrats Marty!So glad they gave it to a guy who has earned everything he has. Such an inspirational story. Being undersized and undrafted. Stammer will get his in due time, but Marty is the quintessential Captain. A true good guy and someone you really root for.
- blackhawks2010 - Oct 1, 2013 at 11:07 PM
Well deserved, class act. He's been the unofficial captain the last 5 years anyway….
- bauxjangles - Oct 1, 2013 at 11:22 PM
It's the way it always should have been. That's the kind of player that everyone on your roster should try to emulate. One of the classiest guys in the league.
- shamu1the1whale - Oct 2, 2013 at 12:08 AM
Let's see if Tampa Bay names 6 players as Alternate Captain…
- pxland - Oct 2, 2013 at 1:37 AM
Only one captain? That's soooo 2011.
- mclovinhockey - Oct 2, 2013 at 8:10 AM
Great move by Tampa.
I do agree that most young guys like AO do not deserve to wear the C… Not just saying Ovi is the only one not mature enough for the role, there is also Crosby and my teams captain, Giroux. All phenomenal players, but sub par leaders.
Said it before and I will say it again, Towes is the exception to the rule.

My dad goes my "Gramps" to his grandkids. Jansen can't say that word, it's pretty hard. Instead he calls him "Poots." It's hilarious and I love it!
For the past couple of weeks, my car has been hesitating when I start it. Last night it finally crapped out. We're taking it in today. Let's all just cross our fingers and toes that it is just the battery, not the alternator. Finger. Toes. Crossed. Now.
I haven't read Harry Potter since Sunday. I miss those kids. What am I going to do when I'm done with the series? Maybe if I never start book seven, then I never have to be done.
I have been fighting a migraine off and on since Tuesday. I hate it. It's been rainy here in Houston so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. The good thing is that I have good drugs now. Good drugs are very important to migraine management.
My friend Molly's son just got glasses. He's two. If you know me, you know that I have a special place in my heart for little kids in glasses. I got glasses when I was two because I was cross-eyed from extreme far-sightedness. That is exactly what happened to Jack. She sent me a photo of him yesterday and OH MY GOSH, he is so darn cute!!!
Ever since I got my tonsils out, my throat hurts when I yawn. I figured it was totally normal for a while since it is stretching scar tissue. My ENT said it was normal when I went to see him a few months ago, but it seems like it should be gone by now. It's it dumb that I never had throat pain until AFTER I got my tonsils out? Yeah, dumb.
Have a good weekend!

'In Living Color' show featuring Warhol at Tampa Museum of Art a 'rare treat'07/01/15 Visual Arts
He may have top billing in "In Living Color: Andy Warhol and Contemporary Printmaking from the Collections of Jordan Schnitzer and His Family Foundation," but this excellent exhibition isn't exclusively Warhol or Pop Art. Warhol deserves the recognition, though, because of the 116 works, 50 are his and he is by the far the most famous of the group.
Know that the 17 other artists represented also are big names in the art world and contribute greatly to the discussion....
Art Planner: Summer shows at the Polk Museum, Clayton Galleries and the Chihuly Collection06/30/15 Visual Arts
For centuries, collecting art was a pastime only for the wealthy (including the wealthy church), but with the rise of the middle class in the mid 19th century, it became an aspiration many more could afford. Travel, too, became available on a broader scale because of the convenience of expanded railroad destinations. As travelers saw more of the world, or at least became arm-chair travelers, they wanted reminders of it, so among the favorite subjects in paintings were bucolic landscapes and exotic locales....
A personal thank you, farewell to Museum of Fine Arts curator Jennifer Hardin06/24/15 Visual Arts
The Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg has always been a special place. But without equivocation, I say it's a better place today because of many individuals' hard work and generosity that have allowed it to grow. One of the most important architects of that growth — in its all-important permanent collection — is Jennifer Hardin, the Hazel and William Hough chief curator.
Museum director Kent Lydecker recently announced, "with sincere regret," Hardin's resignation after 20 years on the job. I will miss her. But I'm grateful for all she has accomplished and, in the process, the ways she has benefited the community through her work. I want to honor her in this farewell column....
Preview: Puppets old and new, from near and far, for young and old, on display at Florida CraftArt06/23/15 Visual Arts
We think of puppets as playthings for children, but they have a history thousands of years old as adult entertainment. Almost every culture in the world has deployed them in some form from European hand puppets to Asian shadow puppets. A new exhibition at Florida CraftArt, 501 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, which opens Friday and continues through Aug. 15, will stretch the definition we have of them....
Don Featherstone, the reason you'll never picture Florida without pink flamingos, dies at 7906/23/15Obituaries
They are the birds of a Featherstone that became kitsch history. One Donald Featherstone, to be precise, who invented the plastic lawn flamingo in 1957. Mr. Featherstone has died at 79, leaving behind one of the most memorable homages to one of nature's most memorable animals.
Floridians are possessive about plastic flamingos, believing they are unique to our peninsula, but in truth they have been sold by the millions nationwide. Madison, Wis., to the far north, designated the plastic pink flamingo its official city bird in 2009. It's probably the only lawn ornament to achieve such status....
Major photo survey opening at Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg06/16/15 Visual Arts
Summer shows at regional museums used to be small and quiet, a time to rotate works from a permanent collection into or out of storage or organize a middling show that wouldn't cost much. It reflected a drop in attendance as residents took vacations and tourists stayed away.
Population migration trends seem to have changed and so have museums' exhibition schedules. For several years, we have seen truly important exhibitions scheduled at this time of year and the new crop is no exception. ...
Award-winning Tampa photographer Bud Lee dies at 7406/11/15Obituaries
Bud Lee's career as an award-winning photographer took him around the world and into the presence of celebrities and world events. Just as much as for his great images, he will be remembered for the antic creativity, talent and energy to create an arts scene in Tampa both bohemian and purposeful that resonates today.
Mr. Lee, self-described "picture maker," died Thursday at a nursing home in Plant City. He was 74. ...
New art shows explore changing landscapes and printmaking06/09/15 Visual Arts
Now that the beloved Norman Rockwell has left the building, the Tampa Museum of Art continues its celebration of American art with "Scenery, Story, Spirit: American Painting and Sculpture from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art," which opens Saturday and continues through Sept. 6. More than 50 works narrate the changing landscape and culture of the nation from the mid-19th into the 20th centuries. We see the idealized landscape of Yosemite Valley by Albert Bierstadt juxtaposed with the gritty cityscape by George Bellows....
Prints by famed illusionist M.C. Escher coming to Dalí Museum in August06/04/15 Visual Arts
The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg is following up its current show comparing the 20th-century Spanish artist with Renaissance great Leonardo da Vinci with another master illusionist, M.C. Escher. While not as famous as Leonardo or Dalí, Escher (1898-1972) has had influence both on science and art, especially in popular culture. There is a bit of surrealism to his work and he excelled using mathematical principles to conceive of constructions impossible in reality. ...
Leepa-Rattner's 'Henry and Abe' exhibition celebrates friendship06/03/15 Visual Arts
Henry Miller and Abraham Rattner were the unlikeliest BFFs.
Miller's nerdy appearance masked a raunchy ego, and Rattner's burly frame and wild mane of hair hid a gentle soul. Yet close they were as we discover in "Henry and Abe: Finding America" at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art. The exhibition is a remarkable achievement by Lynn Whitelaw, the museum's founding director and now its chief curator....
Art preview: new shows opening in Sarasota and Tampa05/28/15 Visual Arts
Lots of new shows are coming to museums and galleries in west central Florida so there's (at least) one near you. Better yet, drive outside your comfort zone to one you haven't visited. Here are two suggestions to get you started.
Art Center Sarasota is one of the oldest of its kind in our region and the oldest cultural institution in Sarasota. Founded in 1926, it grew to be an arts hub as the city became a nationally famous arts community populated by big names. Its building, constructed in the 1940s, is designed in the Sarasota School of Architecture, and subsequent additions have made it a true arts center with space for educational and social programs along with exhibitions....
Preview: New quilts and fiber art shows at Dunedin Fine Art Center05/26/15 Visual Arts
Summer at the Dunedin Fine Art Center means quilts. For years, the center has exhibited fine-craft quilts from national and area groups, expanding our definition of them. Still rooted in their humble origins as inexpensive coverings made for warmth from fabric scraps, the quilts you'll see here are not humble and most are no longer hand-sewn. That hand-sewing component was an issue for quilting purists but most now acknowledge the merits of computerized machines that still allow for artistic creativity....
Curator at Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg resigns unexpectedly05/23/15 Visual Arts
ST. PETERSBURG — Jennifer Hardin, the longtime chief curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, resigned Friday. The announcement, sent Friday via email to the museum's board of trustees, was unexpected.
"I think the world of Jennifer," said Kent Lydecker, the museum's director. "I can't give you any specific reason. I sincerely regret her decision."
"I have immensely enjoyed my work at the museum," Hardin said. "I don't have any plans right now." ...
Art review: William Pachner's powerful response to Holocaust still resonates05/20/15 Visual Arts
William Pachner turned 100 on April 17. For almost 50 of those years, he had been a fine artist, putting his brushes down by 1999 only after he became blind. Two exhibitions, at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and the Florida Holocaust Museum, honor this milestone and his remarkable career.
Pachner didn't seem destined to be a serious painter. He was born in Czechoslovakia and studied art there but in young adulthood chose a career as a commercial illustrator. He came to the United States in 1939 and freelanced until about a year later, when Esquire magazine hired him as its art director. ...
Tampa Bay History Center celebrates St. Augustine at 45005/19/15 Visual Arts
Happy 450th birthday, St. Augustine!
The Tampa Bay History Center honors the occasion with an exhibition, opening Saturday, featuring more than 40 rare maps, charts and prints that trace the city's evolution from a gritty Spanish fort in the 16th century to a pleasure spot for the wealthy in the late 19th century.
St. Augustine is the oldest permanent European settlement in North America, founded in 1565. Its ownership bounced back and forth between Spain and Great Britain, with plenty of harassment from France, before it became a U.S. territory in the early 19th century. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean made it a strategic attraction for European countries battling for North American supremacy in the early years of settlement and attractive in a recreational way three centuries later to Northerners seeking respite from harsh winters. Henry Flagler made the migration possible with a new rail line into St. Augustine and his sumptuous Ponce de Leon Hotel, now part of Flagler College. He would later extend the railroad system all the way down Florida's east coast. (If you want a taste of that Gilded Era, make a detour to the Henry B. Plant Museum to the University of Tampa, another sumptuous hotel by another Florida developer and railroad baron. The museum is the lovingly restored Tampa Hotel that Plant built for visitors to the west coast.)...

European Stocks Drop as Manufacturing Shrinks; ING Falls
April 23 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks fell to a three-month low as manufacturing contracted in the euro area and China and as Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte offered to resign after struggling to clinch an austerity deal.
Renault SA and ArcelorMittal led a selloff in automakers and commodity companies. ING Groep NV and Aegon NV tumbled more than 6 percent amid concern the Netherlands may lose its AAA rating. Royal Philips Electronics NV rallied 3.3 percent after earnings beat analysts' estimates.
The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 2.3 percent to 251.75 in London, the lowest since Jan. 16. The gauge last week snapped a four-week losing streak after the International Monetary Fund raised its global growth forecast and U.S. company earnings beat estimates.
"There is every reason for this market to correct today," said Patrick Moonen, a senior strategist at ING Investment Management in The Hague, which manages $163 billion. "The political environment in Europe has not improved over the weekend and we've had some weaker-than-expected macro data that is clearly disappointing. The overall market sentiment has turned bearish, but I am not at all concerned that this is more than a correction."
Euro-area services and manufacturing contracted more than estimated in April, to a five-month low. A composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers in both industries fell to 47.4 from 49.1 in March, London-based Markit Economics said in an initial estimate. Economists had forecast an increase to 49.3, according to a Bloomberg News survey. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
Chinese Output
Chinese manufacturing also shrank for a sixth month in April, according to a survey of companies. The 49.1 preliminary reading of the purchasing managers' index from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit today compared with a final 48.3 the previous month.
In the Netherlands, Rutte offered his Cabinet's resignation after one of the parties in his minority coalition withdrew support. Queen Beatrix will consider the resignation, the government's information service said.
National benchmark indexes dropped in all of 18 western European markets except Iceland. The Netherlands' AEX declined 2.6 percent to the lowest level this year. France's CAC 40 lost 2.8 percent, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 slid 1.9 percent and Germany's DAX retreated 3.4 percent. Sweden's OMX tumbled 4.6 percent, the biggest drop since September.
French Elections
Elsewhere, French President Nicolas Sarkozy became the first incumbent since 1958 not to win the first round of the nation's election.
Socialist Francois Hollande won 28.6 percent of the vote against 27.2 percent for Sarkozy. The anti-immigrant Marine Le Pen got 17.9 percent, a record for her party that surpassed the predictions of all pollsters. The second round of elections takes place on May 6.
"One potential change of government in the euro zone is bad enough," said Chris Beauchamp, a markets analyst at IG Index in London. "With the Dutch government falling apart as well, investors have been well and truly spooked,"
A gauge of auto-industry companies was the second-worst performer among the 19 industry groups in the Stoxx 600, tumbling 3.7 percent. Daimler AG lost 4.2 percent to 39.50 euros, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, which today said it expects the pace of sales growth in China to ease, fell 4.1 percent to 67 euros and Renault SA sank 5.1 percent to 33.70 euros.
Commodity Shares Fall
Basic-resource companies also retreated. ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, dropped 5.3 percent to 12.25 euros. Vedanta Resources Plc declined 5.7 percent to 1,167 pence and Antofagasta Plc slid 3.2 percent to 1,140 pence.
In Madrid, construction shares tumbled, led by Actividades de Construction y Servicios S.A., the biggest Spanish builder, which lost 10 percent to 13.50 euros. Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas SA dropped 7.2 percent to 12.15 euros and Sacyr Vallehermoso SA plummeted 12 percent to 1.40 euros.
"People are running away from anything that is Spanish and leveraged," said Luis Benguerel, a trader at Interbrokers Espanola in Barcelona. "Banks are being dumped because they have the credit and builders being sold because they took money to build up their business and cannot pay back now."
Ericsson AB, the biggest maker of wireless network equipment, declined 4.4 percent to 61.60 kronor in Stockholm, while STMicroelectronics, Europe's largest semiconductor maker, declined 14 percent to 4.31 euros in Paris. The chipmaking joint venture of the two companies plans to cut 1,700 jobs and reduce costs by $320 million a year by the end of 2013.
ING, Aegon Retreat
ING, the largest Dutch financial-services company, dropped 6.1 percent to 5.23 euros as Dutch 10-year bonds fell, driving the yield difference to German bunds to a three-year high. Aegon, owner of U.S. insurer Transamerica Corp., plunged 6.7 percent to 3.40 euros and SNS Reaal NV, a Dutch lender and insurer, plunged 9.1 percent to 1.40 euros.
"The risk has heightened the Netherlands may be downgraded and lose its AAA rating," Nick Kounis, head of macro research at ABN Amro Group NV in Amsterdam, said in a telephone interview yesterday. "I don't see a majority in parliament to bring the deficit to 3 percent. So hopefully the politicians will get their act together as the country has a long history of fiscal prudence," Kounis said.
Deutsche Bank Charge
Deutsche Bank AG paced a selloff in European banks, falling 4.4 percent to 32.98 euros in Frankfurt. Germany's largest lender will probably book an additional charge of as much as 400 million euros ($528 million) tied to the sale of Actavis Group hf, according to people familiar with the transaction.
Natixis retreated 8.2 percent to 2.12 euros and Credit Agricole SA dropped 4.5 percent to 3.57 euros in Paris trading, while KBC Groep NV sank 7.3 percent to 13.01 euros in Belgium.
Philips limited losses in Amsterdam, rallying 3.3 percent to 14.82 euros, after the world's biggest light-bulb maker reported profit that beat analysts' estimates after cutting costs and selling assets.
Cable & Wireless Worldwide Plc jumped 12 percent to 35.9 pence after Vodafone Group Plc agreed to buy the U.K. company for 1.04 billion pounds ($1.7 billion). The world's largest wireless operator offered 38 pence a share after India's Tata Communications Ltd. last week failed to agree on a price.
Danone gained 1.3 percent to 53.13 euros after Nestle SA agreed to buy Pfizer Inc.'s baby-food unit for $11.9 billion, edging out the French company in a contest for a business that gets most of its sales in emerging markets.
Nestle's offer beat a bid of about $11 billion from Danone, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Nestle gained 0.6 percent to 55.50 euros in Zurich, adjusted for lost dividend rights.

Meanwhile, Major said in her August 6, 2009 interview with E! News that Jon is "a great, great guy. "I wish I could think of something wrong with the guy, but there really isn't."
Describing her relationship with Jon as a "complete whirlwind," she added she wakes up some days thinking, "What am I doing? Am I going to be the next Kate?"
The media catfight between Major and Glassman as gotten progressively more dramatic, especially after Jon told People magazine last month that he was a "single regular guy who just wants to have friendship and good times."
Of 22-year-old Glassman, Jon said, "She's always a good friend of mine. Her family is so good. They took me in and I lived there for a while. I love them to death."
As for Major, Gosselin says, "We are just friends."
"I'm just trying to concentrate on my family first, second my career. That's what I have to do," Gosselin said. "I'm really looking forward to it -- to turning my phone off, playing with my kids in the pool and being the dad."
The Aug. 10 issue of Us Weekly, however, paints the picture of a father who is staying true to his parenting duties while still having his fun, allegedly bringing his children's nanny, 23-year-old Stephanie Santoro, back to his $1.1 million Pennsylvania home at 3 a.m. one night last week.
Photos suggest Santoro spent the night and went home the next morning. In an exclusive interview with In Touch magazine, Jon denies the rumors.
"There's no truth to this -- there's nothing going on between my nanny and me. She came over to my house after her shift at a restaurant at 3 a.m. because I had to leave the house very early the next morning."
However, the kids were away with Kate on a trip, so there were no children for Santoro to watch.
Us Weekly stands by the story that there is an affair going on between Jon and the nanny, but Drew said "he is of course going to deny it."
"It becomes this insane circus wherever he goes because it sells," Drew said.
Another episode on "Jon and Kate Plus 8" is set to air Monday night, 9 p.m. EST, and it's back to school time for the Gosselin kids, and Kate takes them shopping. Meanwhile, Jon tearfully promises to become a better father and help his children get past the divorce. In the same episode, Jon attends a club opening, and adds more fuel to the fire that his bachelorhood is more important to him than family.
TLC declined to comment on the show's anticipated future or what Kate might say on Monday's segment.

Go ahead and confess. Almost all of us have checked out someone on Facebook. In the past, checking out someone wouldn't be something people would admit so easily. But for some reason it's generally accepted these days.
The popular Web site among college students, Urban Dictionary, says "Facebook stalking" is "A covert method of investigation using facebook.com. Good for discovering a wealth of information about people you don't actually know."
You can see what are people's favorite bands, foods, movies, etc... You can look at pictures to see what they wore the past Halloween or how embarrassing their best friend's 21st birthday bash was. It's no secret that technology has allowed people to express themselves in unique and interesting ways.
But I started to ask myself something when one of my roommates anguished over whether or not to "'poke" (it's an online way of just saying hello...) a girl on Facebook. How has this Web site changed the game of dating?
Some of my friends from other colleges already use Facebook as a dating tool.
Tabitha Allen, a junior at Lee University, says she sometimes uses Facebook as a preview.
"It's just a form of preparing for the date," Allen says.
Allen compares it to seeking information about people through mutual friends, which everyone did long before the Internet existed.
"It's just on a different level now," she says. "And it can seem a little creepy."
The amount of creepiness can depend on how much information you put out there for others to see. But what about asking people out on dates through a Facebook message instead of in person or by phone?
Amanda Bratton, a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill, says she's been asked out on Facebook.
"They asked me if I wanted to do dinner or a movie or something along that line," she said. "I said no because I didn't think it was very personal."
Allen feels the same way. She says it wouldn't necessarily mean the answer would be no.
"It would be awkward," she said, "but it would definitely affect my decision."
Facebookdater.com is an online forum where people discuss exactly how to ask someone out through Facebook. The website's "10 Ways to Use Facebook for Dating" post says the key is a good opener.
"Exactly like in a bar where you initiate conversation with that all important first sentence or two," the website says. "Try opening with something that really stands out and begs for a reply."
One of the keys self-claiming successful daters have posted is to use people's listed interests to your advantage.
"I noticed that you want to travel," one post says to use as an opener. "What kind of places do you want to see?"
These are just some of the ways that Facebook is changing the way college students date. In a way, it's making potential daters savvier.
"With Facebook you can almost stalk the person if you want to see what girls are writing on his wall," Bratton said.
You can see pictures of people that might have been in a person's past, ex-girlfriends and boyfriends and what people are writing on their walls. Bratton also says it can help identify a "player" if you meet a guy and he acts single.
"If you then look at Facebook and it says he's in a relationship with someone, it's usually a red flag," she said.

An Australian Oven, Pizza in 9 working days thanks to the forum
5 Attachment(s)
Thanks to all of the enthusiastic advice on this forum (and the plans!!!) I finally bit the bullet and built an oven recently.
It's at a holiday house on the North Coast of NSW about 7 hours drive from Sydney, a bit more than half way to Brisbane. It's isolation in a unique coastal village brought it's own problems... Solar 12V power only and an hour to the nearest town (Grafton) for supplies. So...think and supply everything well ahead, no ducking down to the local store for something forgotten, no fancy brick cutting and concrete mixed by hand.
I drew up a spreadsheet that calculated the amount of concrete for the various stages and gave a cost estimate. It might be useful to someone for estimating as you can vary most of the inputs like slab size, depth etc. I wasn't able to upload it so if someone wants a copy they could let me know.
I cut formwork for the two arches in advance and made a circular template 900mm in diameter for the base of the oven. It's circle was cut from 9 x 300mm squares of melamine faced particle board and the centre piece was drilled to attach a brick locating tool (Great design tips on the site). Also done in advance was the formwork for the slab and hearth. It was much easier to do it at home with power tools than up there with a handsaw!
All of the bricks were cut by hand with a hammer and bolster and the concrete was mixed in a wheelbarrow with the generous assistance of my 15 year old son. Brick laying is not in my repertoire so don't let a lack of building skills put you off building yours.
It went together remarkably well and the following timetable gives you an idea of the time involved:
Thursday: Form up the slab and pour it... 3 hours.
Friday: Lay the blocks and fill the cores... 3 hours.
Saturday: Form up the hearth slab with insulating recess and pour it...5 hours.
Sunday: Pour the concrete perlite insulating layer...1 hour
Monday: Waiting for the bricks to arrive
Tuesday: Ditto so poured an apron to stand on using the excess concrete (10 bags)... 2 hours
Wednesday: Still waiting so finished the apron with a layer of small local beach stones with the year highlighted
Thursday: Bricks arrive 3pm!!! Lay the first 2 courses and the arch pedestals... 4 hours
Friday: lay the next 3 courses and the arch for the chimney...4 hours
Saturday: Lay another 2 courses...3 hours
Sunday: Lay the final course and the keystone... 4 hours
Monday: Tidied up and lit the fire...Pizza for Dinner
Tuesday: Bagged the blocks and hearth slab with a mortar slurry. Roast Lamb and Potatoes
Wednesday: Total Fire Ban!
The oven has yet to be insulated and have a chimney installed... A terracotta chimney is planned.
Once again thanks for the advice on this forum, especially the photos and the brick locating tool.
Without your help I wouldn't have considered starting!
I have attached some photos that trace the progress, the others will follow in subsequent messages

Re: Yet another Australian oven
great job!
Re: Yet another Australian oven
Good one Peter and welcome aboard.
You have obviously searched through the forum, made your decisions and really got stuck right into it.
It can be done as you have shown in a relatively short time and well done.
Get it insulated, rendered and enjoy.

Israel still stronger than Iran, says report
Israel's strategic standing in the Middle East has improved and its security forces have registered impressive achievements in their war on terror in the past year, according to Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.
Israel's strategic standing in the Middle East has improved and its security forces have registered impressive achievements in their war on terror in the past year, according to Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.
At the same time, the motivation of Palestinians to continue their struggle against Israel has not been undermined, says "The Middle East Strategic Balance 2003-2004," this year's volume of the Jaffee Center's annual publication, which was released yesterday to the media.
According to the Jaffee Center report: "From its current position of strength, Israel is striving to advance its planned disengagement from the Palestinians."
Alongside the successes, notes the head of the Jaffee Center, Prof. Shai Feldman, the past year has also been characterized by a failure to exploit opportunities - first and foremost in the disregard shown for signs of Syria's willingness to renew peace negotiations.
The Jaffee Center publication also notes that alongside Israel's supremacy in the region's conventional balance of power, the past year has seen dangerous developments in Iran's nuclear program.
The deputy head of the Center, Dr. Ephraim Kam, said the United States seemed closer to the possible use of force to prevent Iran from completing its nuclear program. According to Kam, any Israeli military operation against Iran would require dialogue with the United States because U.S. forces are currently positioned between the two countries.
Prof. Feldman believes the improvement in Israel's strategic standing is not limited to the field of conventional warfare only, and notes that Israel has maintained exclusive capabilities in the non-conventional field too. He also stressed, however, that the last year had seen significant advances in Iran's nuclear program, particularly in the field of uranium enrichment.
Thus, noted Feldman, Iran is now closer than ever before to the production of fissile material, which is essential for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Feldman added, however, that global attention to the inherent dangers in Iran's nuclear efforts had increased, especially among the United States and key European states.
Dr. Kam noted that the current situation in Iran was more complex than existed in Iraq on the eve of the Israel Air Force's strike on the latter's nuclear facilities in 1981. Iran, Kam said, had 4-5 nuclear reactors, and maybe even additional ones that had been built in secret. Hence, he said, multiple strikes may be needed in order to neutralize Iran's nuclear capabilities completely.
Kam said that the coming two months would be critical with respect to the international community's attitude to the development of nuclear weapons in Iran. Over this period, he said, the International Atomic Energy Agency would have to decide whether to ask the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution against Iran's nuclear program.
At the same time, Kam added, Israel and the United States would have to decide whether to consider a military option.
Jaffee Center researchers Brigadier General (ret.) Shlomo Brom and Yiftah Shapir came to the conclusion that despite Egypt's acquisition of advanced American arms, the IDF has preserved its qualitative edge in the Egypt-Israel military balance.
Brom said the balance of power between states was not measured only in terms of the quantity of weapons each had, but also on the ability of each to operate its arms and command and control systems.
"Underlying the ongoing gap is Egypt's failure thus far to implement fully the Revolution in Military Affairs - that is, to integrate information technologies and advanced means of command, control and communication completely to allow optimal use of force in the battlefield," the Jaffee Center report notes.
Brom said he did not believe that Egypt could surprise the IDF as it did during the Yom Kippur War because Egypt currently relied on U.S. technology and U.S. experts in Egypt were reporting on the status of the Egyptian military.
The Jaffee Center researchers believe that the biggest danger facing Israel today stems from the non-conventional field and the increased activity of terror organizations.
According to the Jaffee Center, "Iraq has now become a convenient arena for jihad ... With the growing phenomenon of suicide bombing, the U.S. presence in Iraq now demands more and more assets that might have otherwise been deployed against various dimensions of the global terrorist threat."
Prof. Feldman also warned that Israeli leaders were suppressing the threat that international terrorists could get their hands on non-conventional weapons.
Jaffee Center staff member Yoram Schweitzer warned of the danger of the terror seeping out of Iraq, with one of its possible objectives being to exploit the instability in Saudi Arabia and take control of the country from within. "Conquering Saudi Arabia is Bin Laden's wet dream," Schweitzer said.

Off to Phillip Island!
We hit the mainland rolling, straight off the ferry into the jungle of concrete, steel, glass and the only familiar bit, bitumen. The stark contrast of where we had just come from and where we now were, clobbered us like a sledge hammer. The sudden need and re-aquaintance with the GPS coupled with city traffic had us like frightened rabbits in the spotlight.
The seemingly slow GPS updating of directions had us doing mad 'U' turns at traffic lights, contemplating jumping curbs bigger that any log we had taken on in recent times and deciphering signs at quick speed! Eventually we found our way out of the city and against the clogged flow into it.
Watching all the week day commuters across in the other lane, bumper to bumper, mirror to mirror heading to what we only just survived, doom, again reminded us of our fortunate position.
Fortunes are then again usually made, we had finally set certain things in place to achieve ours and it was working ok. There are always going to be obstacles, challenges and changes but thats apart of it all. Leaving it till now, after 20 years of reminding each other of this great ride we were going to do, over beers, phone lines, fishing lines, campfires and bar tops had us wondering why we didn't do it earlier!
Heading out of town on our bikes, towards an iconic Australian motorcycle racetrack had us grinning and giggling in our helmets. Our first time at "The Island" promised more adventure, new friends and good memories.

Ira Frederick Aldridge (1807-1867), Actor
Sitter in 4 portraits
Aldridge was born in New York and educated at the New York African Free School, where he began to develop an interest in theatre. He came to Britain in 1824, and first appeared on the London stage in 1825 playing the role of Prince Oroonoko of Africa in the melodrama The Revolt of Surinam, or A Slave's Revenge. In 1833, he made his West End debut playing Othello. Audiences were positive but reviewers found the idea of a black actor shocking and the play was soon cancelled. Aldridge was better received elsewhere and made several successful European tours, becoming one of the highest paid actors in the world. His subsequent reputation led to a triumphant return to the London stage in 1855. He died on tour in Poland.

Enjoy your meals in great outdoors
CORPUS CHRISTI - Most homeowners will agree that it's just not summer without the sizzle of the grill. But running back and forth from the kitchen to the barbecue can get old quickly. Outdoor kitchens make life easier for those who frequently enjoy grilling their meals, can enhance your home's resale value and enjoy growing demand among prospective home buyers.
Here are a few questions to take into account when determining if an outdoor kitchen is right for you.
What works best in your space?
Outdoor kitchens can be as elaborate--or as simple--as you'd like. But to make the most of your new space, you need to carefully consider the design. Have a professional check the patio or deck where you plan on building your outdoor kitchen beforehand. While most can support the additional weight, you may need to add structural support.
Think about how the space will be used. Do you want guests to eat outside or just mingle while you cook? What features (pool, trees, etc.) are already in your backyard and need to be worked around? Is there enough ventilation area so smoke from the grill can blow away?
Make sure there is plenty of space for people to watch without getting in the way or being too close to open flames. Typically, there should be 3 feet of space on either side of the grill for work space and food preparation.
How often will you be using your outdoor kitchen?
This will determine numerous factors, including the equipment you purchase. If you will use your outdoor kitchen just in the summer, a grill with wheels can be moved into the garage and protected from the elements once the seasons change. These types of grills are the most common and come in a wide variety of sizes and prices with a range of features. You can also take these with you if you move to a new home.
If you want to use your outdoor kitchen year-round, you'll need to do more planning. Look for a built-in grill with side burners in the base unit that allow for cooking at different temperatures simultaneously. This base can provide extra countertop and storage space. Make sure the grill is in an area that can withstand high temperatures and is impervious to stray embers or sparks, such as a stone patio. Remember, you won't be able to take it with you, so think carefully before investing a lot in a permanent grill.
Take into account your lighting needs. Do your feasts typically run through the twilight hours? Direct light is best for the work area so you can regularly monitor the progress of the meat. Softer lighting works well for socializing areas and in setting a mood for your guests.
What else do I need?
Standard grill accessories that every backyard chef needs include griddles for grilling fish and veggies, a meat thermometer, and tongs. And don't forget insect control. Citronella candles, torches or other repellents will help keep pesky insects at bay.
An exhaust hood keeps smoke out of your guests' eyes. Refrigerators with ice makers are ideal for storing beverages and food that needs to be kept cold. An outdoor sink makes prepping and cleaning veggies an easy task. Unless you plan on washing dishes outside, a cold water connection is all you need.
For small appliances and stereos, you'll need outdoor GFCI outlets. Consult with a professional electrician for local code requirements.
Weatherproof your new outdoor kitchen. Get a cover for grills that live outdoors. Select weatherproof materials for countertops, cabinets, and other elements of your kitchen. Stainless steel, slate, tile, stucco and stone all work well. A large tent or outdoor umbrella can cover your guests and equipment in inclement weather.
With the proper amount of forethought and planning, you'll be enjoying your meals in the great outdoors in no time.

Head of DHS' operational cybersecurity arm to step down, join RSA
As US-CERT director, Kwon has led DHS' operational efforts to coordinate cyber-incident detection, warning and response activities for civilian agencies' networks and systems. US-CERT is the operational arm of DHS' National Cyber Security Division, and the team also collaborates with state and local governments, industry and international partners to share cybersecurity information.
In a statement issued Aug. 7, Phil Reitinger, deputy undersecretary for DHS' National Protection and Programs Directorate and the director of DHS' National Cybersecurity Center, acknowledged Kwon's contributions.
"We thank Mischel for her service and commend her leadership and the progress she has made at US-CERT over the past year," Reitinger said.
Since taking over as head of DHS, Janet Napolitano has centralized the department's cybersecurity functions under Reitinger, whose appointment was announced in March.
Kwon's resignation was first reported by The Washington Post. An article dated Aug. 8 cited unnamed colleagues who said Kwon was frustrated by bureaucratic obstacles and a lack of authority. The Post article also said Kwon has been the fourth US-CERT director in five years.
Kwon will join RSA as vice president of Public Sector Security Solutions, the company said in a statement. In that role she will advise organizations that want strategic technical and policy assistance in defending their critical infrastructures against cyber threats, attacks and vulnerabilities, RSA said. She will also help develop the strategy and direction for RSA's products and security solutions, the statement said.

U.S. News Review
Sitting about 8 miles west of downtown, this hotel calls itself "a wooded oasis in the heart of Houston." And with its multiple pools, tennis courts and jogging paths (all set in 18 acres of forest), that's exactly why a lot of recent guests couldn't find a reason to leave the property. Some guests say that this is the "perfect place" to stay, praising the enormous guest rooms not only for their space, but also for their amenities. Inside your digs you'll find L'Occitane bath products, Keurig coffee makers and occupancy sensors to let housekeeping know when you're in the room so as not to disturb you. If you're looking to burn some energy, you'll find a rock climbing wall and a gymnasium — where more than 100 fitness classes are held each week — at your service. Meanwhile, The Houstonian houses four distinct eateries. Visitors claim that you need several days just to explore the entire property, but do warn that is business or pleasure takes you into downtown Houston you'll need a car.

News from Upstate
Darryl Geddes 315 464-4828
Christmas trees may harbor unwanted presence, study says
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Sniffling and sneezing this month may have more to do with your family Christmas tree than with the December air. Upstate pediatricians and staff provided clippings from their own trees for a study that showed molds are prevalent in conifers and may be responsible for epidemic peaks of respiratory illness that occur in the weeks around the Christmas holiday.
The study, published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, states the samples contain a variety of molds and that most of the molds identified are potential allergens which have been shown to increase the risk of wheeze, persistent cough and allergic sensitization in infants.
Lead researcher Lawrence Kurlandsky, MD, formerly of Upstate Medical University, suggests that the allergens may not affect all families. "If you and your children don't have any obvious allergies, then it is probably not going to bother you," he explained. For those who are susceptible to allergens, he suggests:
•Checking with the nursery where you purchase your tree. Some have tree washing services available.
•The do-it-yourself method. If the nursery is not able to clean your tree, you can do it at home. Simply use your garden hose to spray off the tree and allow it to dry before bringing it into the house.
•Minimize the length of exposure. There has been some evidence to imply that the longer the tree is in the house, and the warmer the environment is, the more spores are released into the air. Once your celebration is over, consider removing the tree.
•Use an air purifier. A household air purifier placed in the same room as the tree can help to remove allergens from the air.
Families that choose an artificial tree have their own set of concerns. If stored improperly, false trees can also introduce mold and dust into your home, aggravating allergies.

NEW YORK (AP) - Twitter has set a price of $26 for its initial public offering of stock, which means the company's shares can begin trading Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.
The price values Twitter at more than $18 billion based on its outstanding stock, options and restricted stock that'll be available after the IPO.
Twitter Inc. had originally set a price range of $17 to $20 per share for its IPO, but analysts expected that to go higher. The company raised the range on Monday to $23 to $25 per share, signaling enthusiastic response from prospective investors.
The San Francisco-based short messaging service is offering 70 million shares in the IPO, plus an option to buy another 10.5 million. It is set to begin trading Thursday morning under the symbol "TWTR."

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs manager: Prefer to have Cody Ross start season on DL
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Cody Ross has been mostly a bystander during spring training.
Out with a calf injury since early March, Ross has totaled just seven at bats in four games. Though the player and team were initially hoping the 32-year-old would be ready for Opening Day, that has appeared less and less likely as time has gone on and Ross has yet to return to the field.
And, if Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has his way, Ross will still be in the dugout watching the action when the team takes the field on April 1 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"I think we're getting close," Gibson told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo about a return. "But my thought is I'd prefer him to start on the disabled list.
"We don't need him to rush back and injure it and be out another 6-8 weeks."
Gibson said it's best for the team to "have resolution" to the injury, making sure Ross can play every day when he is able to play again.
So, with no Ross and no Adam Eaton, who is out with his own ailment, it appears the D-backs will open the season with Jason Kubel, Gerardo Parra and AJ Pollock in the outfield.
"Possible," Gibson said of that group.
Gibson said Pollock, who hit .247 with two home runs and eight RBI in 81 at bats last season, is "a very solid ballplayer in all aspects."
"He's hit the ball, he's got a little bit of pop, can go the other way; a little better off lefties. Very good outfielder, makes all the right plays."
