Glen Davis gets up close and personal in postgame interview (video)
Dec 12, 2013, 3:25 PM EDT
Glen Davis, even down to the lowest weight of his career, is big.
After games, he's big and sweaty.
So, FOX Sports Florida's Dante Marchitelli faced quite the challenge of staying focused during this, literally, touching interview.
That man deserves a raise! Marchitelli, not Davis. Davis is paid just fine, and at least it's his own sweat he's basking in.

Say it with (planted) flowers
Rose bush, violets among options for your Valentine
CORPUS CHRISTI - Valentine's Day is only one week away, plenty of time to get flowers for a loved one. Valentine's Day is the busiest holiday for florists, and I'm sure local florists will be scurrying next Saturday.
However, if you are one of those that is feeling the pinch of the economic slowdown and simply can't go all out with a dozen long-stemmed cut roses this year, don't fret. There are other affordable options for roses and other flowers that will be appreciated long after next Saturday.
A rose bush is a great gift idea, and many varieties are readily available in nurseries this time of year. A potted rose will allow your loved one to enjoy flowers for years to come, not just for the next week or so. Even if a rose bush doesn't have any buds on it, you can show your special someone what to expect with the tag attached to almost every quality plant. If that's not enough, then try giving a single long stemmed rose next week for immediate beauty along with the rose bush.
What kinds of roses can you buy? The long-stemmed roses you see at florists are hybrid tea roses. There are many good varieties for our area.
Traditional red roses include Veteran's Honor, El Toro (aka Uncle Joe), and Mr. Lincoln. For pinks look for Secret, Tiffany, Gemini, and First Prize. Touch of Class is a great orange-pink rose. A great yellow hybrid tea rose that works well as a cut flower is St. Patrick while Touch of Class is a multi. Recommended white hybrid tea roses include Crystalline and Moonstone. If you are not sure what variety to plant, then ask your local full-service nursery to show you other varieties from the Corpus Christi Rose Society's Recommended Variety List.
Traditional Hybrid Tea Roses are not the only options. Floribunda and grandiflora roses also are good choices the provide clusters of smaller roses on each branch. Among the easiest to grow are some of the shrub roses. Knock-out and Home Run are popular roses with nearly year-round flowering, but they have fewer petals. Probably my favorite is Belinda's Dream, a pink shrub rose with a more traditional rose flower shape.
Miniature roses are also available at many locations. These tiny versions of the classic rose are a good, inexpensive way with 4" pots often available under $5. Miniature roses are easy to grow in pots if you give them good drainage, fertilizer, and lots of sun. Potting them in a larger pot also gives them room to grow and prevents you from watering so often. You can also plant most miniature roses in a well prepared sunny flower bed with a good probability of success.
Roses are not your only option. Step outside the box and look at other colorful plant choices that make great, inexpensive gifts for Valentines Day.
Cyclamen are on the market in large quantities in reds, pinks, whites, and purples. These compact plants are inexpensive and can easily fit on a desk or a window sill. The flowers are also unique since the petals open and the center of the flower actually points down, giving it an inside-out appearance. Clusters of these flowers are elegant and a good conversation piece.
Another inexpensive potted plant that may be forgotten, but is loved by most is the African violet. These velvety-leafed plants are classics that also grow well in a bright window with indirect light or on a desk. If fertilized regularly and allowed to dry between watering with distilled water, African violets may bloom the majority of the year.
If you are looking for something a little more exotic or elegant, then consider giving a potted orchid. Phalaenopsis aka moth orchids are among the easiest varieties producing a long flower spike with large round flowers. The plant may have one or more open blossoms for several months, making it a long-lasting alternative that can be grown inside or on a patio. Phalaenopsis are blooming right now and are considered among the most consistent varieties to rebloom in subsequent years.
Hanging baskets are also a non-traditional but welcome way to give flowers for Valentines Day. These practical plant gifts can provide color or greenery for months if not years to come. I personally like cheerful traditional annuals like impatiens and petunias, bold color from geraniums, or the exotic yet colorful New Guinea impatiens in baskets. Ferns, ivies, and other foliage plants also make good hanging basket gifts, especially if adorned with a big bow.

Each year we compare our entry fees to others in the creative industry to ensure that we set our fees at a comparable level.
Can I withdraw my submission at any point?
Any entry may be withdrawn for any reason up until midnight on Thursday 18th September upon written request to the organiser; however once submitted the entry fee is non-refundable.

Keep your laws off my kid's teeth
Wow. Thanks to everyone who took a moment to comment about the state's new toothbrushing-for-toddlers law. It was by far the most commented-upon entry we've ever had here at Moms Are Talking About.
We heard from parents, dentists, hygienists and child care providers, and the vast majority of folks seem to really and truly hate these new regulations from the Department of Early Education & Care.
Read some of the comments if you get the chance -- for many folks it's not really about the teeth. It's an objection to the government mandate, fear of a germ-spreading mess, and the already over-burdened day of the average toddler and childcare worker.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out as daycare providers get accustomed to the new rules, and parents make the choice to opt-out or stay in.
Join in the conversation, if you haven't already. Leave a comment or drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

How does one start a career as a Costume Historian in a Museum?
How does one start a career as aCostume Historian in a Museum?
Hi! My name is Maegan ******. I am a freshman at Rhodes College inMemphis, TN (it's a little warmer down here...). I found your web page(s) while lookingthrough some costuming links and have thoroughly enjoyed what I have had time to look atso far. Although I don't plan on being a theatre major, I have a passion for costuming andcostume research and I'm currently entertaining the idea of transforming my obsession intoa career. I would ideally like to do research for costume collections in museums, and Iwas wondering if you know anything about the possibilities of this as a career. Thank youfor taking the time to read this. You have a wonderfully enviable costume shop! I thinkI'm going to have to suggest that our designer take a look at it. Thank you, Maegan
Actually, yes. There are several places where you can get the MA inTextile conservation you would best get to get ahead in museum land. 1. the CourtaldInstitute in London (the first place to offer it), 2. that works with the Metropolitan Museum of Art apprentices, and in Ohio(which has a big museum and program). Your first step however, is to join
CostumeSociety of America which is where all the museum folksnetwork, do conferences, present papers and all that career stuff. Also volunteer at onceat a local museum (the bigger the better) that has a textile conservation lab. They arehungry for volunteers, and you learn lots for free. ---Tara

I have an 18 year old son that I spend time with, he does not live at home. I on the other hand live with my Father...and my Mother and Grandmother live only 2 houses away from me. I love practicing yoga and usually attend twice a week. On the other hand I don't love the YMCA but I do try to go 3 times a week.

Community Sanitation Overview:
The City of Hydaburg is located on the southwest coast of Prince of Wales Island, 45 air miles northwest of Ketchikan. It is connected by paved road to several other cities on the island. Water is derived from the Hydaburg River, treated, and piped throughout the community. Funds have been requested to construct a new dam to increase the water supply. Piped gravity sewage is treated at a secondary treatment plant with an 800-foot outfall to Sukkwaw Strait. More than 95% of homes in Hydaburg are plumbed. The city operates a Class 2 water treatment system, a Class 1 water distribution system, and a Class 1 wastewater collection system. These system classifications are determined by the State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Water based on the type of components found in the treatment plant and the number of connections served by the water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Alaska Power and Telephone Co., based in Skagway, owns and operates diesel power systems in Hydaburg and Craig, which provide electricity to many Prince of Wales Island communities.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
RUBA staff travelled to Hydaburg on February 9 to conduct onsite training and orientation for the new city clerk, who also functions as the city's utility clerk. The training covered the Hydaburg Municipal Code, Title 29 of state statute, roles and responsibilities, meeting agendas and minutes, posting requirements, and parliamentary procedure. The clerk and RUBA staff also worked together to draft an ordinance and resolution that if adopted by the council, would properly implement the city's personnel policies and utility fee schedule. Hydaburg's primary water operator attended a presentation by RUBA staff on utility policy making on March 15. The presentation outlined how the availability of sanitation services in rural communities such as Hydaburg rely on responsive, applied policy making from members of the utility's governing body to implement effective utility management practices. This quarter, RUBA staff also worked with the city to rectify missed employment security tax payments, clarify city council meeting requirements, identify local sales tax schedules, and outline the process for properly transferring ownership of city property to a private entity. Hydaburg's city clerk successfully completed the RUBA-sponsored introductory QuickBooks course in Anchorage February 13-17.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
The newly-hired city/utility clerk is scheduled to attend the 32-hour RUBA 'Utility Clerk Management' training in Juneau April 2-6. The citys newly-hired billing clerk has submitted registration forms to attend the 32-hour RUBA 'Planning Management' training April 23-27 as well as an introductory QuickBooks training. RUBA staff will continue to stress the importance of monthly regular city council meetings and will provide assistance codifying ordinances, updating the city's personnel policies, and addressing unmet essential and sustainable indicators in the community's RUBA Assessment.
Essential Indicators:
23 of 27
Sustainable Indicators:
21 of 27
Total Score:
44 of 54
Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
Though Hydaburg's municipal code stipulates that the city's fiscal year follow the calendar year January 1 through December 31, in practice, the city uses a fiscal year running from July 1 to June 30. The FY12 budget was adopted by non-code ordinance on October 4, 2011 after three months of postponed city council meetings. The FY12 budget is divided into separate funds with each fund listing anticipated revenues and expenses. The funds include a general fund, a capital project fund, a harbor deferred maintenance fund, a water sewer upgrade fund, a water-sewer-garbage fund, and a harbor and docks fund. While each fund's budget compares proposed income and expense amounts to the previous year's adopted figures, they do not include comparative statements of actual expenditures and revenues for the preceding fiscal year as recommended by RUBA staff and as required by Hydaburg Municipal Code. The water, sewer, and garbage (WSG) fund budget anticipates $118,000 in income from monthly user fees and $15,000 in inter-fund transfers. Anticipated expenses, however, total $317,650. When the difference is added to a negative beginning fund balance of $163,475 from the previous fiscal year, the city is left projecting the WSG fund to have a net loss of $348,125. The FY12 budget does not detail how these expenses will be balanced with any other revenues. The WSG fund budget does, however, appropriately list most costs associated with sanitation services in Hydaburg. Line items for the primary operator's salary and benefits, repairs and maintenance, travel, water treatment and testing supplies, emergency parts, vehicle gas, electricity, telephone, and various other expenses are all included. Yet the city also employs a second, part-time operator whose salary and benefits are not budgeted for. The city council has held only two formal meetings since the start of the fiscal year, though minutes from those meetings show that financial information is being reported. Monthly financial statements include a balance sheet and a budget versus actual profit and loss. The mayor, city administrator, and public works foreman also routinely provide both written and verbal reports on operational and financial issues concerning the water, sewer, and garbage utilities. Hydaburg's electricity is provided by the Alaska Power and Telephone Company of Skagway. A visual inspection of the most recent electricity billings verifies that the city is current with all electricity accounts for the water and wastewater utilities. The city also has two 275-gallon fuel tanks for heating fuel which are located at city hall and the water treatment plant. The city has allocated adequate funds in the budget to purchase heating fuel from Petro Marine as needed (typically, every one to three months).
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
The utility has an adopted collection policy that is contained in Title 13 of the Hydaburg Municipal Code. In February 2010, the city council committed to enforcing collections on utility bills and discontinuing water service to past due customers. This increased effort has produced a stable source of income for the utility. Because the city continues to receive back payments from delinquent utility customers, the ratio of billed income versus collected income remains near 100 percent. QuickBooks Pro is used for the city's accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll processes. The accounts receivable system documents customer payments and reports past due accounts with the corresponding monetary amounts. An aging report includes a list of all customers, the total amount each customer owes, and whether a customer is 1-30 days, 30-60 days, 60-90 days, or over 90 days past due. A cash receipt log is used to record incoming cash payments and checks not accompanied with an invoice. In addition to this log, the customer is provided proof of payment with a written receipt. The city uses three different receipt books to separate funds and places account codes on all receipts to ensure incoming cash payments are recorded properly. The city's purchase order system requires the review and signature of either the city administrator or the mayor. To prevent overspending, the approving official compares the purchase request against remaining FY12 appropriations prior to approval. The city administrator reports that all bank accounts have been reconciled.
Tax Problems
Essential Indicators
The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities.
The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.
Tax Problems Comments
The City of Hydaburg uses QuickBooks Pro to calculate, track, and report payroll liabilities and makes electronic payments using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The Internal Revenue Service's taxpayer Advocacy Office has confirmed that Hydaburg is current in its federal tax deposits and that the IRS has no liens against the city. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development confirmed on March 19, 2012 that all state tax payments are current as well.
Personnel System
Essential Indicators
The utility has a posted workers compensation insurance policy in effect.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted and uses a Personnel Policy, which has been reviewed by an attorney, AML or Commerce for topics and language.
The utility has adequate written job descriptions for all positions.
The utility has adopted and follows a written personnel evaluation process that ties the job description to the evaluation.
The utility has an adequate written hiring process.
The utility has personnel folders on every employee that contain at least: I-9, Job Application and Letter of Acceptance.
The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations.
The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
Current coverage for workers' compensation insurance was verified through the Alaska National Insurance Company. The policy is effective from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 and covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases up to the Alaska statutory limits for each occurrence. Proof of coverage is posted in accordance with state statute at City Hall, the harbormaster office, and the water treatment plant. The personnel policy was last reviewed and updated by the city council in January 2010. That policy includes a written hiring procedure with a six-month probationary period for new employees. All job descriptions are up-to-date and expressly outline each employee's required duties. Records relating to employees are kept in a personnel file. These files are strictly confidential and the city intends to purchase new fire proof locking cabinets for their storage. RUBA has staff reviewed the personnel files on a sample-basis and found them to be well-organized and containing all necessary documents. The city provides training opportunities when outside sources of training funds are available. The newly-hired city clerk received job training from RUBA staff in February of 2012 and successfully completed an introductory QuickBooks course the same month. The city clerk is scheduled to attend the 32-hour RUBA 'Utility Clerk Management' training in Juneau April 2-6. The utility's billing clerk has submitted registration to attend the 32-hour RUBA 'Planning Management' training April 23-27 and an introductory QuickBooks course in Anchorage April 30 - May 5.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.
The utility has an adequately trained operator or operators.
The utility has adopted the necessary ordinances (or rules and regulations) necessary to give it the authority to operate.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted an organizational chart that reflects the current structure.
The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The City of Hydaburg owns and operates the community's water and wastewater utilities and the city council is the utilities' governing body. A review of six months of meeting minutes indicated that the council is generally engaged in decision-making on behalf of the utilities when the body meets. However, the city council did not hold its required monthly meetings for three straight months in the summer of 2011 and continues to postpone its regularly scheduled monthly meetings. Hydaburg's budget ordinance wasn't formally adopted until October, three months into the fiscal year, and doesn't realistically consider all the costs associated with providing sanitation services. The indicator related to the governing body being active in policy making has been marked 'No' until the unbalanced budget is reviewed by the council and significant utility department cost overruns are addressed. At the advice of RUBA staff, the city did recently amend its code of ordinances to require that the council meet the first Tuesday of each month and may still hold special meetings and additional work sessions as necessary. The city complies with Alaska's Open Meetings Act by posting meeting notices at least five days in advance in three public places. All ordinances necessary to own and operate the utility services have been adopted. Title 13 of the Hydaburg Municipal code establishes the policies and procedures for the operation and maintenance of the community water supply system. The manager for the sanitation utilities is the city administrator. He is adequately trained in the administration and management of the utility. The day-to-day bookkeeping duties are shared between the city clerk, who has formal QuickBooks training and years of clerical experience, as well as the billing clerk. Hydaburg's water operators travel to and participate in relevant water treatment and distribution trainings as needed and receive continual on-site training from a remote maintenance worker (RMW).
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
The City of Hydaburg has one full-time operator and one part-time operator. The full-time operator is certified by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) with a Level 1 Water Treatment endorsement expiring 12/31/2012 and a Level 1 Water Distribution endorsement expiring 12/31/2012. He has already obtained the requisite Continued Education Units (CEUs) and is working towards becoming fully certified by attending Level 2 Water Treatment training. The part-time operator holds provisional Level 1 Water Treatment certification. Hydaburg's water utility is listed on the EPA's January 2012 Significant Non-Compliance (SNC) list for elevated levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs), though the operators continue to work with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) to improve filter media and system underdrains. Testing will demonstrate whether these upgrades will be sufficient to lower the DBP levels. The utility completed and distributed its Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act on August 8, 2011. The utility has a critical spare parts list but does not maintain an inventory control list. The administrator reports that the utility maintains a sufficient level of supplies and tools, but, due to the community's island location and dependence on air and ferry service, the current level of critical spare parts may be inadequate to prevent a service outage.

Nissan Altima Drivability Concerns Due to Corroded Ground Inside the Mass Air Flow Sensor

The ground inside mass air flow (MAF) sensor can corrode and possibly cause drivability problems. The corrosion is enough to affect the sensor data but not enough to create a trouble code. Diagnosing this can be difficult because it won't always illuminate the Check Engine light.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- UEFA has fined the Russian soccer association $37,800 for "improper conduct" by fans at a European Championship match against Poland.
The European soccer body says its disciplinary panel determined that Russian fans displayed "illicit" nationalist flags and threw fireworks on the field. One man ran across the field carrying a Russian flag after Tuesday's match.
The punishment adds to Russia's $150,000 fine imposed after fans attacked stadium staff in Wroclaw at its first match against the Czech Republic.
Russia was eliminated from Euro 2012 after losing 1-0 against Greece on Saturday.
Russia's association earned $13.3 million in participation and prize money for the team placing third in Group A behind the Czechs and Greece.

When did you place your order?
I sent out the first printing on Monday, 17 December. I know that René/Tolkienwinkel received his in only three days and that Colin Williams in Australia received his in good condition. You most certainly should have received yours by now. If you have not, I PERSONALLY guarantee that you will get one and at no additional cost to you. Just let me know who you are via the email address on my website and I will take care of it.
If you ordered subsequent to that, I got a new list of orders from Jessie at HI last week. My daughter is printing 30 more this week and I will assuredly be sending them out as soon as I can get them from her. These will most likely (with my work schedule and having to address and post them all) go out on Saturday morning.
We are printing these somewhat on demand to minimize cost/maximize return to HI. To minimize the number of printings that my daughter does, we are doing one when we have enough orders to justify the effort. Also, Malcolm at the Tolkien Society UK had expressed interest in ordering some for their members. However, he has not followed up on it and that caused us to hold off a bit longer than we would have wished while he made up his mind. Sorry for the delay.
There should be no such issues next year. I have already lined up two illustrators for a 2009 calendar. Thus, I am about 10 months ahead of this year's project which was suggested only late in October and mailed on 17 December. I am nevertheless pleased with the result and perhaps most particularly so because of the relatively short time it took to bring it to fruition. My hat is off to Ted and Jef and Megan for their efforts to get this done and with such quality in so short a time.
In any case, thank you both for your patience and your support of HI. Jessie and Anthony do a very good job with that society and I am pleased to have had some role in this project to support their efforts. Besides it has been more fun than I could have imagined.
Please contact me at ANY time with any questions or comments or (especially) complaints. Your good will is worth more than any calendar could ever be (even one as good as this one!)

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise can not see all ends.
Re: A new collection
Hi Tom -
Deagol is correct. Once a price guide is published it is almost immediately out of date. In the end, an item is worth what a buyer and seller agree upon. In the end, you may be willing to pay more than someone else and think it a bargain because you wanted it so much.
I am not trying to rub salt in your wound, but I noted that you bid on an unopened boxed set of paperbacks today and lost out in the end. That happened because (1) you set a limit (decided beforehand what it was worth at a maximum to you) and (2) exhibited some patience. You can ALWAYS get caught up in an auction and overpay. I know this from costly experience!
My advice would be to keep a log of items that you have bid on and lost. It will give you an idea of what it took to win it last time when it comes up again. Make a list of items that you would like to collect and monitor eBay auctions (even if you don't bid on them), check out Amazon.com and other on-line booksellers, and ask the experts here. Soon you will have a good idea of what is rare and what is not, what is a fair price (and what you may wish to bid) and how much is too much (especially for minimum bids or Buy It Now prices). Believe me, many items are described by sellers as rare (and priced accordingly!) when they are not.
Good luck and good hunting!

Variant 3 is totally blank except for the map.
The reason the map positioning makes it likely to be a Clowes book rather than a Billing copy is that in the Clowes 1st Impression the map is on the left hand page while the Billings 1st Impression (and all later impressions) had the map bound in the other way round as the right hand page.
These three bibliography entries record the map facing an odd page number for the Dummy and Clowes 'Export' Editions, and facing an even page number for the Billing 'Domestic' Edition and later impressions:
I guess the people buying the Folio copies aren't 'hardcore' collectors and just want a good looking set of books. The Folio editions fit in nicely (price-wise) between trade hardback editions and the various HC deluxe editions.

Hmmm... good comments so far. I think I'll try both ways and see what happens. I also have some old polaroid film that I might bring with me for test shots. I kind of feel the fire haze might not be as bad up that high anyway so I think I'll be fine. But I'll fire off a few polaroids just to be sure.
Thanks for all the good advice, I'll definitely let you all know how it went and maybe post a few shots on here when I get back.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The Group of 20 rich and developing countries have pledged to carry on with measures to boost the global economy, despite signs of a fledging recovery.
At the end of a meeting here Saturday, G-20 finance officials also promised a crackdown on bankers' pay and committed to giving developing countries a greater say in international financial regulation.
A joint communique says that fiscal and monetary policies will stay "expansionary" for as long as needed to reduce the chances of a double-dip recession after the worst financial crisis since World War II.
There is also an agreement to impose tighter control on bankers' pay. But officials have been forced to compromise after Britain and the U.S. deemed French and German calls for a cap on bonuses unworkable.
Addressing finance officials at the start of their talks here, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned against "complacency or overconfidence" in the face of mounting signs of at least a modest economic upturn.
Japan, Germany, France and Australia all recording growth in the second quarter. Britain is widely expected to do so in the third quarter.
"We meet at a critical juncture for co-operation in the global economy," Brown told officials from countries representing 80% of the world's output. "The G-20 needs to agree a clear and unambiguous mandate for the G-20 to give priority to the resumption of global growth and to help countries achieve sustainable growth going forward."
Taking the unusual step of pulling rank on his Treasury chief Alistair Darling, the host of the London meeting, Brown also stressed the need for reform of the banking system to restrict bonus payments and called for sanctions against tax havens to be put in place early next year.
The timing of a so-called exit strategy from the recent massive economic stimulus to drag the world economy out of recession is not yet agreed upon.
Germany has pushed for G-20 nations to start talking about when and how they will withdraw stimulus measures, but others have warned that withdrawing the massive amounts of money injected into the ailing world economy any time soon could risk a double-dip recession.
"Given the risks we face, this is not the time for economic complacency or overconfidence, the stakes are simply too high to get these judgments wrong," said Brown. "To decide now that it is time to start withdrawing and reversing the exceptional measures we have taken would in my judgment be a serious mistake."
There has also been a difference in emphasis for the London meeting, which began with a working dinner on Friday, as European countries push for a crackdown on bankers' bonuses, while the U.S. has stressed the need to boost bank reserves to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis.
Developing countries, meanwhile, used the gathering Friday to press for reform of global financial governance, proposing shifts in voting power at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in favor of developing countries.
Brown expressed broad support for all those measures, saying they were necessary to underpin recovery of the world economy.
Brown also called on G-20 nations to toughen action against tax havens and "commit to what sanctions we are going to take and implement by March next year."

White Lion Artist Bio and Lyrics
The '80s glam rock band White Lion was started in the year 1983 in New York City by guitarist Vito Bratta and Danish singer Mike Tramp, who had just moved to the city the year before. The two eventually recruited bass player Felix Robinson, who had previously been in the band Angel, as well as drummer Nicki Capozzi. And voila, White Lion was formed.
The band's debut album, Fight to Survive, was released, and White Lion experienced numerous line up changes during this period. It was not until the year 1987, when the band was signed to Atlantic Records and their second album Pride was released, that the band began receiving serious attention. The album's first single, "Wait," was released on the first of June that year, but would not get popular until nearly seven months later. White Lion scored an opening slot on a tour for Frehley's Comet, Ace Frehley's band from the 1980s. The band would tour continuously for the next two years, opening for such acts as Aerosmith, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, and Stryper.
Big Game, the group's third album, was released in the year 1989. It featured such popular singles as "Little Fighter," "Radar Love," and "Cry for Freedom." The album went gold, but none of its singles managed to do well.
The albums of White Lion include Fight to Survive, Pride, Big Game, Mane Attraction, The Best of White Lion, Remembering White Lion: Greatest Hits, Rocking the USA, Anthology 83-89, and The Definitive Rock Collection.

Ruine Alt-Dahn Things to Do
Medieval market on Dahn Castles in July
When we were on Altdahn Castles in July 2011, a medieval market was going on. Although I know the Italian historical festivals and events quite good by now (for a non Italian), I have never been on a German medieval market before. So it was most natural that I wanted to see it and luckily my dear Australian companion was thrilled to experience one as well. When we were there I was astonished to see people in several different historic dresses, from B.C. times to late medieval, as opposed to Italy, where each historical festival is strictly reliving a specific event, hence being strict with the time period and the dresses. So I asked some attendants about the "time frame" and was told that there is simply none. Each of the attendants has chosen his or her time and dresses appropriately. There were even Vikings' and Eurasian nomads' dresses among the many people on the castle.
The market was a lot of fun, there were many stalls where people practised and showed old skills like forging iron, woodworking, making arrows for longbows, several stalls where soap or incense was sold. Tucked behind the stalls was a place where kids of all ages could practise their skills in longbow shooting. Of course I wanted to try it out! It was easier than I had imagined. My dear companion took photos of me (see photo inside) and I will send it to my balestrieri in Gubbio, maybe one day they will change their statutes and allow also female balestriere? Haha, hope never dies.... :)
The best of the whole market were the performances of the several medieval groups, especially the musicians and the singer. The musicians, a group called Rittersporn, played medieval instruments, handmade according to the old descriptions: the man played a hurdy gurdy and the women shawm and drum. I looked up the group in internet and learned that the man and the drummer woman are music therapists, which explains their passion for this kind of music, or the passion explains their jobs. It was also fascinating to watch the singer Theolonius Dilldapp. His singing passion is extraordinary and he really draw us spectators into the old times!
Two videos to get an idea of the music:
Theolonius Dilldapp
Rittersporn musicians.
I also found sixteen video clips in youtube, made by a passionate medieval market fan, but I will link them in my separate album.
The medieval market on Altdahn Castles took place July 9 and 10, 2011. I assume that it is a yearly event, on the second weekend in July. Entrance fee was 4 Euro.

Climbing up and around Dahn Castle
Among the countless castles carved into the pink sandstone rocks in Palatinate Forest and northern part of French Vosges, Altdahn Castles stand out because it is not only one but three castles. It is a paradise for kids of all ages who always dreamt of being a knight or a damsel in a castle. The majority of the castles buildings are long gone; they were destroyed and rebuilt in the past, but after the last destruction during the War of Succession in 1689 they were left in ruins. Nevertheless it is possible to visit the ruins. At least some of the towers are still there as well is of course the whole rock "interior" like the stairs, the rooms and the platforms. The biggest and oldest of the three castles is Altdahn with the watchtower. From the big round tower we walked up through the rock, on the old carved stairs. It was indeed a magic feeling because it is still almost like it was in the days when the Counts of Dahn lived up here. From the platforms on the top we had wonderful views across this part of Palatinate Forest and I remembered again that it is almost like a wilderness here. However, be careful when you want to go up to the highest platform on the tower: two steep iron ladders lead up there. From the top we also had a view to the other two castles, although it is really different to distinguish them all. They look like one, but are three separate ones. Near the big round tower is a small descriptive exhibition about castle building in medieval times. It is fascinating to read how the builders managed to erect castles in these times. I have a very high respect for them, especially since they didn't have any of the "modern" instruments and machines our architects have today. Moreover, I doubt that architects nowadays could build anything the masters of the past achieved. This is not meant as an insult, it is just my personal feeling.
At the bottom part of Altdahn Castle is a small museum, but we simply forgot to go inside, since it started to rain at a point in time and we wanted to visit another castle, Berwartstein to be precise. The museum is open upon request, so I don't even know anything about regular opening hours. I have read that the history of the three castles is being described inside and some findings are exhibited.
I can only highly recommend Altdahn Castle for kids of all ages, especially during the weekend of the Medieval Market early July (see next tip).
The castle is open all year long, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter and until 6 p.m. in summer. The entrance to the castle ground is free of charge.
For a nice aerial view, have a look at the slide show photos on Dahn Rock Country's website. And in case you want to visit, download the flyer. In the website section below I have added a short youtube video of the castle, with a morning mist atmosphere (not my video of course).

How to get to Dahn and the castles
The castle ruins Altdahn are situated in the eastern part of Dahn village. Parking spaces are available at the end of Schloss-Strasse, near the school. From there it is only a short 10 minute walk up to the castle ground, mostly shaded by the big trees.
It is also easy to reach Dahn by public transportation. From Landau at the southern Palatinate Wineroad, there are frequent trains either directly to Dahn (approx. 50 minutes) or with changing trains in Hinterweidenthal (approx. 1 hour).
This is the end of my description of Altdahn Castle and surroundings. Thanks for having followed my tour. If you wish, please return to my => Intro pageRelated to:

Ruine Alt-Dahn Warnings and Dangers
Be careful when walking up!
Please, no matter how fun-looking these castles might seem to be, bring appropriate shoes with good grip on the soles. There is no warning sign at the entrance to the castles' grounds (at least I didn't see any) but climbing on the ruins is on one's own risk. Especially the stairs which are carved into the sandstone rock can be dangerous at times, since they are very much worn out. There is no handrail at the stairs. Also the two metal ladders up to the watchtower can be tricky. They are easy to climb but not good for people with fear of heights. The viewing platforms are secured by a railing though.
Please make sure that you have at least appropriate footwear!

Ruine Alt-Dahn Favorites
Medieval extended family households :)
Favorite thing: When I did further reading about Altdahn Castles and thought about the extension of the three castles, I was not really astonished to learn that it was not only inhabited by one family but by several ones. This principle is called Ganerbschaft, in French cohéritiers. There seems to be no proper English term for it although I am sure it must because this wasn't limited to French and German castles. The term coheirs is the closest; it means that a castle is being shared by several families of an entire lineage. In case of the three Altdahn Castles Altdahn, Grafendahn and Tanstein it were the families of the Dahn knights' clan. They were given the ground as fiefdom by the bishops of Speyer in approx. 13th century. The best example of the same principle is famous and magnificent Burg Eltz, near Moselle river, southeast of Koblenz.
Have a look at the other photos: one shows a lifting tong, one of the medieval instruments to lift up weights. The other two are especially interesting for those who would like to know why pink sandstone formations are ideal to carve fortresses and castles. The formation is consisting of pink (well, red to be precise) and white sandstone, left from Germanic Trias (part of Triassic, approx. 250 mio years ago). The white one is more subjected to erosion, as it can be seen in photos 3 and 4. This honeycomb structure is special and not seen everywhere.
