Bill Nelson Caught up in PMA Mess
Last week, ABC News broke news that the FBI had raided PMA Group, a lobbying firm, this past November. PMA, which specialized in lobbying for earmarks for defense contracts, had close ties to Democratic Rep. John Murtha, but also donated heavily to other politicians -- many of them Democrats, but some Republicans as well.
The Washington Post uncovered campaign donations given in the names of people listed as PMA employees, but many turned up to have never heard of the group nor of the candidates to whom they supposedly donated. Sen. Bill Nelson received $4,000 from two such donors, but promised today to return the money.
PMA's political action committee (PAC) and PMA employees were found to be among the biggest donors to Bill Nelson's coffers. He has received $51,213 from them, according to the Center for Reponsive Politics. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, a Republican representing North Florida, received $37,350 since 1989 from the group. While John Mica, a Republican representing Jacksonville, received more than $30,000. Reps. Allen Boyd and Bill Young received $14,250 each. Young, Boyd, and Nelson all serve on defense-related committees.
Even as ABC has dubbed it as the potential "Next Abramoff Scandal?" the only evidence to emerge so far is that PMA likely donated money in the names of unwitting individuals as a way to elude limits on how much they could donate. It's unlikely the politicians were aware.
Several House members from Florida -- including Ron Klein, Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz, Connie Mack, and Adam Putnam -- have also received
donations from the firm, but in amounts of $2,000 or less.

Islam's annual pilgrimage to Mecca changing with the times
Hassan Ammar, ASSOCIATED PRESS
An estimated 2 million faithful Muslims have converged on Saudi Arabia this week to observe the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca — an event that all Muslims who are financially and physically able should do once in their lifetime.
But reports on this year's pilgrimage point out that the usual financial and physical limitations aren't the only obstacles keeping some Muslims from around the world from observing one of the five pillars of Islam.
This year, an outbreak of a deadly respiratory virus and construction in Mecca reduced the numbers of adherents by 1 million from last year, the Associated Press reported.
"Saudi authorities sharply cut back on visas for groups such as the elderly, pregnant women and those with chronic illnesses as a precaution against a new respiratory virus related to SARS that has killed more than 50 people in the kingdom this past year," the AP story stated. "The Saudi health minister, Abdullah al-Rabiah, said late Saturday that no cases of the coronavirus infection have been detected among pilgrims.
"Further visa restrictions were imposed because of massive construction projects underway in Mecca."
The Economist noted that modern transportation has made it easier for Muslims to make the trek to Mecca from anywhere in the world — but that has also introduced its own set of problems in observing hajj.
The Saudi government controls the number of hajj visas issued to a given country. Renovations to the main mosque so it can accommodate more people was one of the reasons the numbers were restricted this year.
"Next year the renovations should mean more visas once again," the Economist reported. "But the growing number of Muslims, and growing prosperity in many Muslim countries, means the backlog is likely to grow: South Africa recently announced that citizens on the waiting list may face another six years before they get a slot."
The story mentioned a few other modern innovations that make the pilgrimage tolerable with the crushing crowds and oppressive heat, when the observance happens during summer months.
But those modern amenities such as five-star hotels, spas and mobile apps that explain the daily rituals one must fulfill while in Mecca have their drawbacks, lamented Doha Shata in the Arab News.
"As with any annual event that grows over time, hajj has become a complex, carefully choreographed ritual that leaves little wriggle room to include some of the simple traditions of the past," Shata wrote.
He quotes several old-timers who recalled the pilgrimage during simpler times when only tens of thousands made the trip.
One tradition, called Gais, involved women and children who stayed behind in Mecca to bake pastries, wear costumes and celebrate while the men trekked to the holy sites.
"The modern world has affected the custom of Gais, especially since older neighborhoods have been replaced by hotels near the Grand Mosque," one (Mecca) resident told Shata. "However, some surviving older neighborhoods continue with Gais."

The latest (2007) annual National Statistics on waterborne freight in the UK produced by the Department for Transport, according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority, shows that:
• Traffic on UK domestic waters accounted for 5 per cent (126 million tonnes) of all goods lifted in the UK, and 20 per cent (51 billion tonne-kilometres) of all goods moved in 2007.
• Over the decade to 2007, goods lifted on UK waters fell by 11 per cent, and goods moved increased by 6 per cent, but there have been fluctuations during the period. In 2007, goods lifted on UK waters were at the same level as 2006 and goods moved fell by 2 per cent.
• Of the total goods moved on UK domestic waters in 2007, 68 per cent was traffic around the coast; 30 per cent was one-port traffic (to or from offshore installations, or dredged materials); and 3 per cent was inland waters traffic (including both non-seagoing traffic and seagoing traffic crossing into inland waters).
• Since 2000, when a more accurate distinction between coastwise and one-port traffic was introduced, coastwise traffic has fallen by 5 per cent. In 2007, coastwise traffic rose by 6 per cent compared with 2006.
• One-port traffic has fallen by 49 per cent since 2000. Traffic for 2007 was 18 per cent lower than in 2006.
• In the decade since 1997, goods moved on inland waters has fallen by 11 per cent. In 2007, however, this traffic increased by 4 per cent compared to 2006.
• Crude petroleum and petroleum products were the largest type of cargo moved, accounting for 72 per cent of all waterborne freight moved.
• The River Thames was the busiest of the major inland waterways, with 0.82 billion tonne-kilometres of goods moved (48 per cent of the inland waters total, and 1.6 per cent of all waterborne traffic). Traffic on the River Humber totalled 0.23 billion tonne-kilometres and the River Forth 0.17 billion tonne-kilometres.
Goods moved are measured in terms of tonne-kilometres, defined as tonnage lifted multiplied by distance travelled.

Financial Results
Financial accounts filed by two of the country's largest office products companies appear to show diverging fortunes but both are confident about the future.
Fuji-Xerox posted a reduced after-tax profit of $1.6 million for the year to June 30 (down from $4.9m), while Ricoh's after-tax profit rose to $5.8m (from $3.9m the previous financial year).
Both bottom lines include the results of the company's respective finance divisions but are not directly comparable due to the different ways the companies are structured and how they pay or are paid by their parent firms.
Neither firm would disclose its market share but it is understood they, along with Konica Minolta, are the big three.
Ricoh managing director Mike Pollok was pleased with the reported profit, saying the business worked hard to provide value to its customer base.
Fuji-Xerox executives said they too were pleased with their performance and were on track for 10 per cent growth in the current financial year despite the flat market.
An earlier version of this story had Fuji-Xerox's profit at $2.2m. That was pre-tax. The correct comparison with Ricoh's post-tax $5.8m profit is $1.6m.

This hotel is a gem. Reasonably priced, basic but very clean and relatively good sized rooms. The location is a 10 minute walk from the museum and ruins. The view from the balconies of rooms facing the Corinthian Sea is spectacular. Breakfast adequate with terrace looking out to the Sea. Parking is a challenge but not impossible.

OK HOTEL IN DELPHIPosted Apr 18, 2014
Pros: View from the room.
Cons: Nothing
Location: Near the Delphi archaeological site. Town is very touristy but pleasant. Nice to walk around town and sightsee.
Staff said we were lucky to get room although we had pre-booked and paid thru Expedia. The room we received was just what we had booked. Parking was far down the street, by the time we got back a large high school tour group had taken every room except for ours. Granted they were quiet during the night. The view from the half balcony was breath taking, mountains and the sea below. Room was clean, semi-vintage furniture, private bath. Breakfast in morning included was very decent. Staff in morning was pleasant and polite.

Recent Puget Sound North reviews
"We rented this property for two weeks last month, this was our third visit. Two weeks was good, but we would like more, and hope to return soon! We simply ADORE being here! Large, private, right on the beach, views that awe, every amenity we need, very comfortable and clean. Not sure that I could possibly say enough about this dream location, it reminds us of our summers on the Mediterranean in the South of France! Excellent shopping, farm stands, with veggies, fruit, milk, cheeses, amazing eggs, and fresh seafood all just minutes from the house. The water is very calm, making water activities super easy, the house comes with a nice row boat, in addition paddle boards, canoes and kayaks are readily available, we had boards delivered by Fat Cat, great service! Sleeping at this house is unlike sleeping anywhere else! Every single one of us got the best sleep ever! Partly the fresh ocean air, but largely the well appointed and comfy beds! I'd go back just for the blissful sleep! But, don't get me wrong, cooking and dining at the house is a pleasure, with ample dining space for 8, inside or out on the waterfront patio. Great, really great, wildlife viewing, harbor seals, otters, bald eagles, swallows, ospreys, deer, raccoons, starfish, moonsnails, geoducks, butterflies, too many to list! The grounds are lush and colorful, big lawn for playing frisbee, croquet or just tossing a ball around. Bottom line is always location, location, location, and this is IT! Direct views of Mt. Rainer and Puget Sound's shipping and boating. See the city lights make rainbow like reflections on the water, streaming seemingly to your feet, but a world away from this island treasure."Guest: lee a.

"We were originally looking for a place on Orcas; but I was repeatedly drawn to the beauty and ease of access to Ravnik house. The pictures do not do this place justice; it is more beautiful in person. We arrived after dark and a long day's journey; the night lighting makes the house sparkle like a jewel. But then in the morning, the true splendor of the place comes to the fore. Everything you could want is provided, just bring your own toothbrush! Towels and bed linens are quite luxurious and put Hilton's to shame. Ravnik is located almost perfectly in the center of Whidbey and just a short drive to Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley. Lots of good restaurants on the Island, let Yelp be your guide. We explored the nearby state parks and light houses. Our 4 year old loved walks on the beach and throwing stones into the waves and his Dad brought him a kite to fly. All the ships that go to Seattle, pass Ranvik house. Dan has a lovely tripod mounted on a tripod; I found an app for the Ipad that would identify any ship in sight. The house is divided into two wings, each with a separate bath; so you can have as much togetherness or apartness as you desire. The central space has a lovely sitting area and a gorgeous kitchen. Lots of caffeine is available, it's a Washington thing, I believe. Dan and Lisa are very pleasant and easy to work with. Communications were prompt and informative. They provided a list of things to do/eat/see on Whidbey that was very helpful. Opening and closing instructions were provided, as well as instructions in the house on how to operate things. They even had a special treat for our grandson, Thanks! I have exhausted all the nice things I can think of to say about Ranvik house. It is a superb property, well-maintained and a joy to stay at. I would most highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in the Pacific Northwest!"Guest: Scott S. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 9, 2015View listing
"Situated between Seattle and the San Juan Islands this farm home afforded easy access from outside the city. The two homes worked good for our two family get together. This is a working farm and the decor offers a unique taste of farm life. There is road noise since it's on a busy arterial that affords easy access to several towns. We loved the Crepe restaurant nearby. There were many amenities provided that made our stay easy.

Treccani Milano Adds Custom Polo Shirts to Their Bespoke Service
Prestige brand Treccani Milano is enjoying a major upswing with the introduction of its new line of custom golf polo shirts. This highly anticipated product expansion comes after the recent launches of coveted handmade leather golf bags and shoes from the Italian company and just in time for spring, when devoted golfers head back to the links to master their game.
"After the overwhelmingly positive response to our custom golf shoes and custom golf leather bags from all over the world, my wife Nicole Branicky and I decided to complement them with custom golf polo shirts," explains Emanuele Bonasia, Co-Founder of Treccani Milano.
The new line means that enthusiasts of the luxury brand can now enjoy a wider range of products and bespoke services made with authentic Italian craftsmanship. Available for men and women, the shirts can be ordered at its flagship boutique in Toronto's trendy Yorkville neighbourhood or with the assistance of a personal shopper. Once a custom order is placed, it is sent to artisans in the company's Milan bottega (Italian for lab) who then create the shirt to the customer's exact specifications - size and otherwise.
In addition to a personalized fit, Treccani Milano offers clients the opportunity to specify down to the finest details to create polo shirts that are as unique as their golf putts. Options include a vast array of colors (single or combination) in 100% cotton piquet or stretch from a cotton mill in Switzerland, a choice of pocket, sleeve length, stitching colour and buttonhole colour. Other features include selecting the colour, shape and thickness of the mother of pearl button, as well as shirt monograms. While no minimum order is required, production of each shirt takes four weeks, and worldwide shipping is available on all products. Prices start at $320 per shirt.
Bespoke golf polo shirts are available through a visit to Treccani Milano's flagship boutique in Toronto, located at 25 Bellair Street or worldwide with the assistance of a personal shopper. To book an appointment or for customer support, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 416.648.1300. For more information about Treccani Milano and its products visit www.TreccaniMilano.com.

Trying out a new diet? Makeup-free Kirstie Alley sports fuller figure as she parks outside vegan bakery
She has spoken candidly about her struggles with weight gain over the years.
And it appears Kirstie Alley may be trying yet another diet in her quest to be slim.
The 62-year-old was seen wearing no make-up and sporting a fuller figure as she parked outside a vegan and gluten-free bakery in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Kirstie has spoken candidly about her fluctuating weight over the years, and even chronicled her weight loss regime in former reality show Kirstie Alley's Big Life.
In the 2010 series, Kirstie admitted she tipped the scales at 230lbs.
'Funny how the dark, undeniable truth hits like a hammer when you see a number on a scale,' she said.
In 2006, Kirstie famously paraded her newly slimmed down figure in a bikini on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Meanwhile, the actress is gearing up to star and executive produce her new series Kirstie's New Show, which is currently in pre-production.
The show focuses on how the life of Kristie's character Madison Banks is turned upside down when the son she gave up for adoption at birth comes back into her life.
Kristie's former Look Who's Talking co-star John Travolta is set to appear on the show.
Flaunting it: Kristie showed off her dramatic weight loss in lingerie on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006

Maple Leafs: Dion Phaneuf contract extension reportedly all but done
Leafs captain reportedly on the verge of finalizing a seven-year contract extension with the team.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Dion Phaneuf's contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs is reportedly all but done.
According to reports Saturday morning from TSN, Phaneuf is on the verge of finalizing a seven-year, $49 million extension that will keep the 28-year-old team captain in Toronto through 2020-21.
Terms of the deal and its expectancy before the Winter Classic have been widely reported over the past two days.
Phaneuf and his agency, Newport Sports, ironed out the seven year term, which was said to be key to the deal. The remaining details yet to be worked out centre largely on the no-trade, no-movement clause.
Phaneuf has been with the Leafs since a blockbuster trade with Calgary Jan. 31, 2010; he was named team captain June 14, 2010.

mixed Elmer's clue with the antique white paint I used more glue than paint. I dabbed the glue/paint mixture on the bells, not strokes While the glue/paint mixer is wet, I sprinkled with cinnamon and very fine glitter (It looks like fine sugar crystals). Baked in the oven at 170 degrees until dry then flipped them all and repeated on the other side. It is VERY messy on the fingers but it all washes back off! Be sure to cover your cookie tray with aluminium so you can throw that mess away.

Love! Do this! These little cabins I bought at the dollar tree. It was a dollar for three. They were bright red and white, not really very primitive. I wanted them to look like blackened beeswax so I spray painted them black, dipped them in melted wax and spiced them with cinnamon while the wax was still wet...much better!

Arty Girl: Dale Chihuly at Desert Botanical Garden
By Lilia Menconi
With slideshow by Kathleen Vanesian
If you haven't heard of Dale Chihuly, put a rubber band on your wrist, pull it back and snap that baby as punishment. This is an artist you should know. He's one of the most highly esteemed contemporary living artists and he recently decked out the Desert Botanical Garden with his tremendous glass work in "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass".
My talented and accomplished colleague, Kathleen Vanesian, got a sneak peek of the show this past Friday and snapped some amazing photos.
Consider this slideshow as a tasty appetizer to a tremendous feast. Only a visit to see this work in the flesh will satisfy your hunger.
Oh, and to answer your question: yes, Chihuly did the ceiling at the Bellagio in Vegas.
And for all you West-siders, West Valley Art Museum is bussing people out to see Chihuly's work this Friday, November 28th at 4:30 p.m. So gas prices and geographical inconvenience is no excuse this time.
Chihuly: The Nature of Glass remains open until May 31, 2009 at Desert Botanical Garden, 1201 N. Galvin Pkwy in Phoenix, 480-947-1225, www.dbg.org.
Tickets to West Valley Art Museum's bus trip to the exhibition are available in the Museum Store, 17420 N. Avenue of the Arts in Surprise, or by phone with credit card, 623-972-0635, www.wvam.org.

Green light for White
Relevant offers
Adele White is still deputy chairwoman of the Howick Local Board.
Chairman Michael Williams found little support in his attempt to dump Ms White on Monday during a long and often testy meeting.
He eventually withdrew his motion.
The board also voted down a proposal to discuss Mr Williams' pending court appearance on March 1.
Mr Williams faces charges of drink driving and refusing to accompany a police officer in May.
The extraordinary meeting was held at Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts in Pakuranga.
Thirteen people spoke in support of Ms White, starting with Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross who as a resident presented his petition of 830 signatures.
A vocal audience of more than 100 people often interrupted the proceedings, also in support of the deputy.
Mr Williams read the letter that initiated the meeting and outlined why he was seeking to replace Ms White.
He said she did not have enough time for the position, being a fulltime police officer, and was often "diametrically opposed" to him on issues.
The letter was signed by five of the nine board members, including Steve Udy who presented a graph showing Ms White attended only 57 per cent of workshops.
Board member and Mr Ross' wife Lucy Schwaner countered that Mr Williams also had a job - as chief financial officer of a medium-sized company - and that the meetings referred to were voluntary.
Ms Schwaner said board members did not have to attend if the subject did not relate to their portfolios.
Ms White said she was "deeply ashamed by this debacle" and commented that Shirley Warren did not do a good job as Mr Williams' kindergarten teacher as "he doesn't share his toys and he doesn't play nice".
Steve Udy received great applause when he was the first of Mr Williams' supporters on the board to break rank, followed shortly by Mrs Warren.
The moment came as they voted for David Collings' amendment to create a "better more co-operative and collective working relationship" to achieve "more for the people of the Howick ward".
Mr Williams then withdrew the motion to remove Ms White - to unanimous support.
Mr Collings constantly wrangled with Mr Williams over the proceedings and was upset the chairman did not have to answer questions.
