Body recovered in search for missing kayaker in Bala
Search teams have recovered a man's body from Llyn Tegid in Bala this afternoon.
A rescue operation was launched yesterday evening when a man was reported missing after a kayak capsized.
North Wales Police say the man is believed to be from the Cheshire area, although he is yet to be formally identified. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Search for missing kayaker in Bala
Rescue teams are searching a lake in Bala after a kayak capsized.
The missing man was one of three people who went out on a kayak on Llyn Tegid/Bala Lake yesterday afternoon.
The other occupants of the kayak - a man and child - reached the shore and were taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital as a precaution.
Emergency services including the RAF 22 Squadron, North East Wales Search and Rescue and North Wales Fire Service's water incident unit, searched the lake yesterday evening and the search is expected to resume this morning
Report criticises £3m investment in heritage centre
The Auditor General has criticised how more than £3million of public money was spent on a rural heritage tourist centre in Gwynedd.
An official report says there were "serious weaknesses" in the Cywain Centre project at Bala. Owain Phillips reports.
Criticism over £3.4m of public money spent in Bala
A report out today says £3.4 million of public money spent on a heritage centre in Bala could have been saved if the steps had been taken to prevent the centre from closure.
The Cywain Centre opened in April 2008 but ran into difficulties and closed in September 2011.
The report by the Wales Audit Office says those that funded the centre were aware that the business case for the centre was unrealistic.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "Safeguarding public money is something we take extremely seriously.
"We have already made improvements to the way we monitor projects, based on lessons learned from previous WAO reports. We will now consider the recommendations of the WAO's report and will respond to the findings in due course.
"However, it is important to recognise that EU programmes and projects are delivering for Wales. We are in a better situation now as a result of vital EU funds investment, worth some £4 billion since 2000."
Bala Town's European dream to be continued...
Bala Town FC marked their first foray into European competition by edging out seven-time Estonian champions FC Levadia Tallinn 1-0.
Bala Town´s Europa dream is to be continued after the win last night at Rhyl thanks to an early goal from striker Ian Sheridan.
They beat the Estonia League leaders infront of a crowd of around 1,200.
It was the first leg of the Europa League for the Welsh part-timers in the qualifying round.
The away match for the second leg is in Tallinn on Thursday, 11 July.
Bala began as underdogs but former Wales player Mark Jones had a couple of chances straight after the break to extend the Town´s lead but was denied by the Levadia shot stopper.
The visitors then glanced the post from a freekick before Ian Sheridan had a one on one with the keeper but he pulled off a magnificent save.
After 3 minutes of added time Bala held on for an incredible victory.
Campers fire safety warning
North Wales Fire Service are urging people to take extra care when heating, or cooking in, a tent or caravan after a fire on a Bala campsite this morning. A 40 year old man is in hospital with burns to his hands and chest after an electric heater fell over setting his caravan awning alight.
Bala beat Port Talbot to qualify for Europa League
Bala have qualified for next season's Europa League after winning the Welsh Premier League play-off final.
The match against Port Talbot looked as if it was going to end goalless - but 88 minutes in, the visitors missed a chance before John Irving was ready for the rebound, scoring the winning goal.
Flood rescue skills tested in Bala, Gwynedd
A major exercise has taken place around the Bala area to test the response of emergency workers to flooding. It follows recent serious cases across North Wales.
It's hoped the exercise will better ensure emergency services are prepared to protect homes and communities.
Rob Shelley went along.

A Sandwich a Day: Italian Picnic at Olio in Richmond, VA
The sandwich features a generous portion of freshly sliced, house-roasted turkey that's nice and moist. Granny Smith apples add crunchiness, their sweetness combining with that of the fig jam to be a good counterbalance to the Tallegio cheese. The cheese melts slightly on the fresh-baked, warm baguette, which is slathered with garlic aioli spread for extra zing. More

During Obama's LinkedIn town hall today, he touched on a provision in his jobs bill that's supposed to prevent employers from basing their hiring decisions on a job-seeker's employment status. Because the long-term unemployed are less likely to get hired, the bill would make it illegal for a company to "discriminate" against people who are out of work.
As you can imagine, the law would have some disastrous unintended consequences. From the Oregon Business Report:
As a practical matter, any unemployed person rejected from a job could demonstrate a prima facie claim for discrimination simply by showing he or she was unemployed and then didn't get the job. Further, the cases will invariably turn on "yes you did, no I didn't" factual disputes about the hiring decision: did the employer make the decision because of reasons underlying the person's unemployment (lawful) or simply because the person was unemployed (unlawful)?
Not only would snubbed job applicants be able to effortlessly sue the employers who turned them down, but it would also be exceedingly difficult for the employers to get the cases dismissed before trial. Which of course translates into a lot of hefty legal fees for employers – and a lot of happy employment lawyers:
Because of those subtle factual nuances, and procedural rules that presume the truth of a plaintiff's allegations until trial, it could be virtually impossible to get even baseless claims dismissed before trial, such as at summary judgment. That makes defending those cases much more difficult and expensive.
Would the risk of a crippling lawsuit make an employer more or less likely to hire? The answer is obvious. And not only is the law a disincentive for job-creation, it also could end up having the opposite intended effect for the long-term unemployed. An employer might not even consider an unemployed applicant, rather than take a chance and bring him in for an interview. Because if the candidate isn't hired, the company could open itself up to legal trouble. The law could end up being devastating for unemployed people.

sparkly orange wine
My friend Saray had helped me organise some orange-themed product info for my friend José Pizarro's visiting friend Sarah last month. Since then the general director of BurNarj, whose family makes this lovely orange sparkling wine, has been in touch with me, asking if I'd like to have a private tasting. And as special as that sounded, I thought it would actually be more fun with other people to share the experience with. So I invited a couple of friends and yesterday we spent a very pleasant couple of hours trying this unique wine.
Most orange wines are simply grape wines that are somehow flavoured/infused with orange, but this is the very first sparkling wine in the world that is actually made from 100% orange juice from orchards growing along the banks of the Guadalquivir River. It doesn't get much more Andaluz than that!
Have a look at my blog post on Azahar's Sevilla for more info…

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but disappointing....,
Cathy Young (Middletown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Version française) [Import] (DVD)
"Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Choderlos de Laclos is one of my favorite books. I've seen all the other adaptations, and with a cast like Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Philippe I was really looking forward to seeking this one. Well... the performances are great, but the film leaves a lot to be desired. In contrast to the more recent TV film with Rupert Everett and Catherine Deneuve, it does not fare quite so well in adapting the story to a 20th century (1950s/early 1960s) setting. Making Valmont and Merteuil (Juliette in this version, perhaps a reference to the Marquis de Sade's anti-heroine) husband and wife rather than ex-lovers was a really bad idea, since it totally alters their dynamic and removes one of the key elements in the characters' motivation: Valmont's pact with Merteuil that she will spend the night with him if he can seduce the pious Madame de Tourvel. Also, the film feels very "rushed," especially toward the end -- 106 minutes just isn't enough to do justice to this story and these characters.
There are some very good touches: Valmont's break-up letter to Tourvel -- which, in the novel, he copies verbatim from a letter Merteuil writes to him -- becomes a telegram dictated by Juliette. This is also the only film adaptation of the novel which preserves the theme of Merteuil's disfigurement and "her soul turning out on her face"; the novel's smallpox becomes a fire in the film. The final image is very arresting. But it's not enough to make up for the scant characterization and the other flaws of this film.

Water gardens . . . for a healthier yard
(With apologies to Ms. Jane Austen . . .)

Shade? Plants & planting ideas
I was really struck, on a recent visit to San Antonio, by the effective, restful way shade plantings were used in the garden behind the historic c. 1749 Spanish Governor's Palace.

Visit www.triseptsolutions.com to learn more about the world leader in Web-based leisure travel distribution technology. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines In these times of sophisticated Internet search engines, it's no longer enough to just have a website. You need to ensure your site will consistently achieve high rankings when "Googled". Over 75% of consumers use Yahoo, MSN, Google or another search engine to research vacation options. That's why it's critical that your site content become search engine-friendly by implementing a variety of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. As Internet users continue to become savvier and their search queries more sharply defined, by properly optimizing your pages, your site will place higher in the search listings and stay ahead of your competition. This white paper will explain: 1) The basics of SEO 2) Benchmarking – what is it and why you should do it 3) Tips for research keywords & writing search engine-friendly content 4) How to submit sites to search engines and measure results So, what does it take to get "Googled"? A simple search engine optimization project is not hard to implement. However, staying current on the latest trends, maintaining optimization and reviewing the success of your SEO campaigns takes considerable time and effort. If you're going to do it yourself, start with a simple strategy and proceed from there as your knowledge and comfort level grows. Afterall, a little optimization is better than none at all. Pay-per-click Organic SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 SEO needs long-term commitment, but yields long-term results Tackling SEO in-house is not necessarily the best option for all website owners. A successful SEO campaign is an ongoing project, not a one-time task. It takes time and resources to stay optimized and many site managers have their hands full with other aspects of the business. It may be more advantageous to contract SEO services from a reputable search marketing agency. Outsourcing relieves a site owner of the burden of researching, testing, implementing and maintaining a large scale SEO project. First things first Before undertaking any part of an SEO overhaul, a website should undergo a thorough analysis for the purpose of benchmarking. A snapshot with current number of visitors, page views, unique visitors, and keyword ranking serves as a gauge by which to measure any improvements gained as a result of any SEO effort. Do your research There are many good sources of information to keep up with the latest in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) including online forums, newsletters and conferences. Best SEO websites: SearchEngineNews newsletter by Planet Ocean ClickZ's SearchEngineWatch Best SEO conference: The Search Engine Strategies Conference is located in various cities and countries throughout the year. The conference includes sessions for all levels (basic to advanced) and allows direct contact with some of the search industry leaders. In the end, an SEO strategy can be as complicated and technical or as easy and clean as you want. Ask questions. Read a white paper, like the one SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 you're holding now. Learning the ins and outs of search engine optimization takes time, just like Spanish, Italian or any other new language. Breaking it down: SEO Components Search Engine Optimization is a skill that can be learned, just like any other. Successful SEO strategies are built by utilizing these basic ideas: Content - Otherwise known as body copy, content is what the search engine spiders crawl over when attempting to match the keywords searched to offer additional relevant information. Common mistake: Jamming too many complex topics into a single page. This just confuses the search engine as it searches for content relevant to the search criteria. The solution: Design your site to have a unique page or section for each specific subject. Search engine spiders can recognize keywords that have been embedded in a page, so be sure to pepper keywords into page titles and tags, paragraph headlines and links. Design - A flashy website may look impressive, but don't let design get in the way of function – or an effective SEO strategy. Common mistake: Too much Flash and graphics. Search engines can't recognize keywords as phrases in a Flash or graphic format. The solution: Keep the design simple. Successfully optimized sites avoid slow-to-load graphics. Simple text-based designs attract search engine spiders because they can process the relevant content much faster. Tags - Often ignored, meta tagging is one of the more important components of SEO. Page titles, meta titles, and keyword sets should be created with keyword phrase-heavy content that compels users to click through from the search results page. Title Tag - A title tag for any web page appears in the blue field at the top of the browser window. The title is usually the first element search engine spiders encounter, thereby making it an important factor when giving your site a ranking. An improperly composed title tag could be a major reason why your site's ranking is not as high as you think it ought to be. Title tag SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Writing a title tag Say your business sells vacations to Hawaii. How should your title tag read? Good: Hawaii Vacations This page title tag is okay, but is limited in scope for both users and search engines. Better: Hawaii Vacation Packages This is a bit stronger, but there's still room for improvement. Best: Hawaii Vacation Packages – ABC Vacations, Luxury Vacations to Hawaii This one is the winner because it includes relatable terms, is still to the point, and conveys more relevant information to a potential customer. TIP – Each page of your site should have a title tag that accurately reflects the page content. Benchmarking your site Benchmarking is about identifying your site's strengths and measuring growth. It's also about understanding your site's weaknesses and taking steps to correct them. Benchmarking exercises can include: Evaluating the look and size of your organization's home page and measuring: Page views Unique visits Total visits Ranking in search listings Other qualities of measurement include: Page content and relevance Consistency of content Keywords and phrases Lastly, an important part of benchmarking is getting a snapshot of the competitive landscape. In order to be successful, you must understand your competition. Looking at websites that offer services or products like yours will provide ideas for things to emulate as well as avoid. A good place to find these competitors is at the top of the search listings. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Once a complete set of metrics has been established for your site, the data gained from optimization can be reported and studied for continuing changes or improvements in the future. Researching Keywords Keyword research - choosing the most relevant keyword phrases – is one of the most important parts of any SEO campaign. You can spend a lot of time optimizing your pages for better ranking, but it's a wasted effort if the right keyword phrases are not targeted. High search engine rankings due to poor keyword selection may still not bring you relevant traffic. So, identify your target audience and research what keywords they might be typing in the search engines to discover your site. Below are some tools you may find useful. Keyword Research Tools 1) Wordtracker® http://www.wordtracker.com - Wordtracker® provides a wide variety of ways to explore top-performing keywords. 2) Webmaster Toolkit http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com - Enter the word or phrase you wish to be found under. The Webmaster tool will also suggest additional words and phrases for you to consider using. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 3) Overture Keyword Selection Tool http://www.overture.com - If you're not sure what search terms your customers may be using, enter a term related to your site and Overture will show you how many times that term was used as a search query. TIPS 1) Carefully target the search keywords 2) Keep key phrases relevant and targeted to what a specific web page is about. 3) Avoid placing keywords in JPG, GIF or other graphic formats. Because search engines do not read information contained in graphics, important SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 words or phrases will be ignored. Although use of graphics may be more visually sophisticated, it's more important for people to find your page. Find appropriate ways to ensure keywords and phrases remain in a text- based format. Writing for Search Engines Most web users know how to use Internet search engines to help them find what they're looking for. The most-used search engines are: Search engines have become invaluable tools for web users simply because they're able to instantly sift through millions of web pages. The matches they find are then returned to the user with the most relevant pages at the top of the list. Because search engines respond directly to the keywords or phrase they're given, an internal algorithm drives the engine to find the relevant pages. Thus, it's critical that your web pages contain enough of the keywords and phrases that your customers are using to find pages like yours. Placement of keywords Search engines perform their tasks similar to how the human brain performs basic functions. Someone browsing in a bookstore will most likely start searching for a book by looking at the title. Search engines do the same thing, and that's why it's so important that the title of each page contain only the most relevant information pertaining to the content of that particular page. EXAMPLE: Let's say a person conducts a Google search on the keywords "book family beach vacations". The search engine logically pushes pages with the search terms appearing in the HTML title tag to the top of the listing. The following result, offers a description relevant to the keyword search. Next, the engine checks to see if the search keywords relevant to the topic appear near the top of a web page, such as in the headline or in the first few SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 paragraphs of text. If they are found there, that page stays at the top of the ranking list. Because the title tag and body copy matched the keywords searched, the keywords appear bolded. Also, some of the keyword-rich content will display on the search engine results page, allowing the user to read an informative description of your product or service. Here are the Google results for "book family beach vacations": Keyword Frequency The other way search engines measure relevancy is the number of times the keywords appear within the page content or body copy. As part of the retrieval process, a search engine analyzes how often keywords appear in relation to other words in a web page. Pages with a higher frequency of relevant keywords outrank other pages to the top of the search listing that is returned to the user. Of course, all this happens in the blink of an eye, and that's why it's so important to think like the search engines "think" when writing content for your pages. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Example of keyword-rich site copy: Title tag Keyword-rich body copy Don't overdo it A word of caution is in order, however. Going overboard with keyword or key phrase placement in page texts can have the opposite effect. If the search engine detects an abnormal amount of keywords, it may actually reject that page from the final search queue. This is known as search engine "spamming" or keyword "stuffing." For example, repeating a word hundreds of times on a page is a tactic that the search engine may already be trained to recognize. Submitting to Search Engines Search engine submission, or search engine registration, is the practice of listing your site with the major search engines. Most people with web pages submit their sites to search engines hoping to be as high as possible in the rankings, and hopefully on the first page. However, just as it isn't enough to simply have a web page, it's also not enough to just submit your site to the search engine. All a submission really means is that the search engine has been made aware of your page. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Unless your page is properly optimized, there's little hope of achieving any consistent or lasting results. That's where search engine marketing (SEM) comes in. SEM describes the overall strategy of using search engines to market a website. That strategy includes submission, optimization, managing paid listings and more. Appearing high in the search engine rankings can be achieved if optimization, submission and all other factors are carefully considered. By approaching improvements to your site in this manner, the audience you seek will be able to find you. Metrics & Reporting After your pages have been successfully optimized, it's natural to want to track the results. This is where having carefully documented benchmarks comes in handy. The original benchmarks created during the site analysis can be used to measure all future performance. Checking regular monthly or quarterly reports from a service such as HitBox or WebTrends help you track your success from day one. You can then use that data to continuously make improvements and upgrades to your keywords and page content. Be patient It's important to remember that good SEO results take time. In other words, don't expect immediate changes in your rankings. It may take weeks or even months for your SEO efforts to show results. But once those changes start to happen, you should continue to rank well, especially if you practice a system of regular monitoring and page updates. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Doing SEO In-house Undertaking an SEO project is a long-term commitment - not a one-time task. SEO is a growing field that is constantly changing. Be sure to dedicate enough budget, resources, and time to conduct a thorough SEO campaign. You may want to add a full-time SEO analyst to your staff or at a minimum, dedicate an existing team member to the job. Hiring a person who already has the knowledge and the skills will eliminate a time-consuming learning curve. If this isn't an option, there are a number of workshops, web groups, and seminars available that can teach SEO practices effectively. Another aspect of good SEO practices is strong copy writing. If you already have a good copywriter on staff, they can be partnered with an experienced SEO person to weave the all-important key phrases into the text. As you explore the options for doing SEO in-house, consider all the factors involved. If it appears to be too time consuming or too draining on existing resources, you will want to find a reliable SEO firm to whom you can outsource the project. Outsourcing SEO There are several reasons why outsourcing SEO may be your best option. SEO practices change quickly. Your internal resources may be too busy managing other aspects of your business to effectively stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. An external SEO team dedicates 100% of its time to maximizing the use of search engines. There is no learning curve, there is no back burner. Your website is their top priority. Perhaps the biggest benefit of outsourcing to a reputable, well-respected SEO firm is that you can leverage their relationships with top search engines. On your own, Google or Yahoo may not be easy to access. You might have trouble getting a foot in the door. But a well-known SEO company already has relationships with search engines and you can use that to your advantage. Trisept Solutions, one such firm, has been at the forefront of SEO since its inception. Trisept Solutions, a leading travel technology company, integrates SEO practices into web development services for many of the travel industry's leading tour operators, top hoteliers, and major airlines. Trisept's SEO team works closely with top search engines like Google, MSN, and Yahoo to submit sites, test new search practices, and offer training sessions for Trisept's customers. SEO: Optimizing Web Pages for Search Engines July, 2006 Putting it all together Whether you decide to tackle SEO in-house or to entrust a reputable e- marketing firm to handle it for you, SEO is a vital part of any successful e- marketing campaign. Creating a compelling website that engages visitors and achieves your corporate objectives is only half the battle. Making sure your customers and prospects can find it, is a whole other story.

Police call for peaceful demonstration
Marking the one-month anniversary of the death of Jesus Huerta in the back of a patrol car at Durham Police Headquarters, another march and vigil are planned tonight.
On Nov. 22, a protest turned disorderly outside the headquarters building on Chapel Hill Street, with some participants breaking windows, damaging a police car and throwing road flares and firecrackers.
Durham police officials Wednesday indicated that they respect First Amendment rights, but want to ensure a "safe, peaceful and orderly event," according to a news release issued by the department.
The event is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the CCB Plaza downtown.
Expectations for the crowd include:
• No impeding traffic by blocking or marching on city streets.
• No entry into the police headquarters parking areas or grassy lawns adjoining the building.
• No possession or use of pyrotechnics.
• No wearing masks, hoods or devices that conceal the wearer's identity.
• No property damage.
• No disorderly conduct.
Extra officers will be on-duty for the march.
Apparently, the vigil is coordinated by Rafael Estrada Maya of Raleigh. He had not contacted police about the event, officials said, nor had permits been obtained. As a result, streets won't be blocked for pedestrians. They'll have to use the public plaza and sidewalks.
"While we obtained a telephone number for Rafael Estrada Maya, he declined to speak about the event and hung up," said Deputy Chief Larry Smith.
Police Chief Jose Lopez Sr. encouraged relatives of Huerta to contact the department directly or through their attorney if "the Huerta family wishes to place a memorial or hold a vigil on the parking lot of Police Headquarters."
Huerta, a 17-year-old Riverside High School student, died of what police described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound while riding in the back of Officer Samuel Duncan's patrol car.
Last week, Lopez told reporters that Huerta had been searched and cuffed behind the back, yet still managed somehow to acquire a gun that didn't belong to a police officer and sustained a fatal head wound.

Actually, scratch that. A former Harvard University instructor, network television analyst and popular fantasy novelist, the silver-haired, ascot-sporting Bova is the designated toastmaster at a Friday-night banquet featuring honored guest George "Mr. Sulu" Takei of Star Trek fame and some really mediocre dinner theater. And at a dinner-theater performance, especially a dinner-theater performance wedged amid a three-and-a-half-day science-fiction convention, the fashion police are, understandably, off duty.
Way off duty.
To the point where a callow, painfully self-conscious dork with a Frankenstein hairdo and thick eyeglasses can sit in the same room and freely ogle the beautiful blue balls atop Empress Inebria's head.
And so this cat -- let's call him "Mark" -- contemplates doing something he normally doesn't do: talk to a woman. Never mind that Inebria's boyfriend, Admiral Delirium Tremens, is seated directly to her right, his bulbous antennae just as prominent as those of his steady mount. A simple exchange of pleasantries will give Mark all the human contact he requires in order to tough out the 365 days before he can return to a white-clothed table in a corner of Collinsville's cavernous Gateway Convention Center and recharge anew his one-man blue ball admiration society.
"I really like the balls on top of your head," Mark finally blurts.
"That's enough, pal," shoots back the shrill, domineering Empress.
The come-on having tanked, Mark's gaze reflexively shoots toward the floor. Taking a sip from an almost-empty glass, he mutters something about how he used to play professional soccer for the St. Louis Steamers (hard to believe) and narrowly missed making the National Hockey League's Blues (bullshit).
Well, maybe he'll get lucky at the after-party. This is Archon, after all, the most decadent little science-fiction convention in the Midwest.
"More geeky nerd types have gotten laid at Archon than ever would in the outside world," Empress Inebria says of the annual confab, which transpired at the Gateway Convention Center and adjacent Holiday Inn this past September 30 though October 3. "It's Fear and Loathing in Collinsville."
"If you can't get laid at a science-fiction convention, you can't get laid," seconds Victor Milan, an Albuquerque-based science-fiction author and the regular master of ceremonies for Archon's annual masquerade competition. "It's a refuge for the shy to meet other socially inept people."
Inebria was first dragged to Archon at the age of eighteen by a group of gay friends, whom she refers to as her "fairy godfathers." A chef at a ritzy Clayton retirement home in the "mundane world" -- geekspeak for everyday life -- she is by her own assessment a stout, witty, not spectacularly attractive woman in her early thirties. At Archon she "walks the line between cool and geek."
Where that line blurs -- literally and figuratively -- is after 10 p.m. at the Holiday Inn during each of the convention's three nights, when the hotel's entire first floor becomes a writhing bacchanal of unscrupulous consumption on par with the biggest Greek-system costume-themed bash ever.
"I go because I was told it was a four-day party," Inebria's blue-suited sidekick, Duchess Libatia, explains. "You can run around in a costume and act like a fool and nobody minds. At work I have to be respectable."
Rounding out the quartet is Intoxicatia, the Duchess of Vodka. Together they form the "Drink-Ons," an alcohol-themed antidote to Star Trek's Klingons. Each Drink-On is clad in a blue spacesuit, silver gloves, boots and shoulder straps, with blue spaceballs extending from the top of their heads. Inebria sports a blue wig, Libatia a green wig and Intoxicatia a purple one; only the six-foot-four-inch Admiral Tremens goes au naturel. Instead of guns and bullets, the Drink-Ons' bandoliers are holstered with hard packs of Camels and lined with test tube-like clear plastic containers of premixed vodka concoctions called zipperheads that taste like cough syrup. Affixed to the Drink-Ons' backs are neither rocket packs nor munitions, but rather plastic bladders filled with coconut rum and Pepsi, inhaled through suckle-tipped cords. Their bloodstream, you see, is not awash in plasma: The Drink-Ons subsist on liquor and liquor alone. To take away their coconut rum is to stop their hearts cold.
The Drink-Ons are greeted by camera flashes from their fellow revelers as they enter the ground floor's vast, crowded hallways. Room after room is packed with masked marauders, most of whom would be branded "insufferable dorks" in the mundane world. But this is their playground, and they've got less than 48 hours to roll around in the safety of its sandbox before the confab shuts down, returning the vast majority of Archon's 2,500 party mutants to geek status.
Still, fandom -- the broad-brush term used to describe science-fiction enthusiasts and their multitiered subculture of brethren, from gamers to furries to filkers (think Weird Al Yankovic spouting Lord of the Rings and Buffy-related lyrics set to Eminem and Spice Girls melodies), medieval masqueraders and role players -- commands at least a smidge more respect than it did back in the day.
"In the '70s and '80s, talking about science fiction immediately got you labeled a geek," says Steve Swope, a costuming enthusiast who appears alternately as Peter Pan and Captain Spandex, the latter a kaleidoscope-caped take on the Green Hornet. "Now it takes five minutes."

One powerful tree stands alone on the hillside,
Colorful like a rainbow that is so very bright,
A perfect picture of an excellent painter,
Captured by lens on a sunny September.
Colors blending with a fantastic view,
Red, orange, yellow, combined with green and blue,
Even fairies will adore this beauty of nature,
Calming our souls refreshes our heart so pure.

Elizabethtown Essex County officials have started to talk about one of the most debated pieces of state legislation in the tenure of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
During the Feb. 25 Ways and Means Committee meeting, county supervisors talked about pursuing a resolution that would be sent to the state concerning the SAFE Act, which set a band on guns deemed as assault weapons, magazine capacities and extends background checks on weapons and ammunition.
"Somewhere in the middle there should be a compromise," Board Chairman and Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said. "I would rather us have our own resolution because there are portions that I would be in favor of."
Douglas said that, from the county's perspective, the supervisors should express concerns to the governor's office over the amount of money it would cost local counties and the effects it would have on law enforcement.
"We discussed the impact to the county, and if there was a cost factor associated to this and it looks like there will be an impact," Douglas said. "I would rather attack it on that end. To oppose the whole thing, I do not know if that is good for us. Focus on the financial impact and the impact to our law enforcement would be the way to address this."
North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore moved a resolution to support the opinions of the New York State Sheriffs Association. While supervisors were split, the motion was passed on to the full board meeting.
"There are 26 that have passed resolutions that are in opposition is some way," Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. "What I am hearing from the majority of people is that they are concerned with the way that things were done."
"Because there is so much emotion attached to this, I have been trying to get feedback from my constituents," Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said. "Just saying that we are against an act that has 14 separate positions is just too vague."

|First reviews, more pictures of the latest, hottest cars
|Honda CR-V
At Last, A Diesel
Face-Lifted 4x4 Looks The Part, Hard To Fault
Why No Automatic?
Rating: **** out of 5
Ascot, Surrey
How could a phenomenally successful company like Honda miss the diesel revolution? The Japanese company has shown the Midas touch with just about every car it has launched; from the little Jazz city-car to the Civic and Accord it has hit the spot for looks, performance, quality and utility.
European manufacturers like Volkswagen, Peugeot, Renault and Fiat have grabbed market share by realising that diesel power could not only provide economy victories over petrol engines, but that modern common rail direct injection technology could end up making oil burners superior and smoother performers on the open road too.
Belatedly, Honda has now woken up to the European love affair with diesels. Its Accord has been diesel powered for a couple of years, with a 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine that won rave reviews from day one. That same engine will soon, if belatedly, appear in the CR-V 4x4 Sport Utility Vehicle (CR-V stands for Compact Recreational Vehicle), and the combination does seem to be a marriage made in heaven.
The four cylinder diesel is silky smooth, and even at idle shows itself to be a superior power-plant because of its quietness and lack of clatter. Performance feels more urgent than the numbers suggest, and the 138 bhp motor propels the CR-V from 0-62/100 km/h in 10.6 seconds. The motor sounds quiet and refined at all times, and the six-speed gearbox is neat and user-friendly. There is no automatic version, a major omission, in my opinion.
Honda has decided to face-lift the CR-V range at the same time as the diesel becomes available. There are new front and rear lights, a new front grille, bumpers, and an improved four-wheel drive system. The cabin now sports new chrome-ringed dials, the stereo controls have been moved to the steering wheel, and curtain airbags are standard on Sport and Executive versions.
The diesel version is available from March 2005.

LIBERTY EYLAU, TX (KSLA) - Authorities believe a homeowner's response to finding a snake in her yard may have led to the fire that destroyed her house Wednesday.
The fire sparked at a home on Will Smith Road in the Liberty Eylau area of Bowie County, TX just before 7 p.m.
"While cleaning up, she saw snake, threw gasoline on the snake, lit the snake on fire," said Deputy Randall Baggett with the Bowie County Sheriff's Office. "The snake went into the brush pile and the brush pile caught the home on fire."
Despite the efforts of several fire departments that responded to the scene, the flames completely engulfed the home. It is a complete loss. A neighboring home was also damaged on one side.
Liberty Eylau Fire Chief David Wesslehoft says they are still investigating the fire, but that it's not unusual for a burning animal to spread a fire.
"Yes, it could happen with rabbits and big field mice. Once they start burning the grass, they get out of their hole, they have been known to catch fire and then take off."
Still, the chief says, a fire started by a burning snake is a first for him.
There has been no word from officials on whether charges will be filed.

The Gazebo plans new album, gig at Howard's in BGWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Despite having a mother who's a chemist and a father who's an engineer, Toledo native and Perrysburg High School grad Edward Bean has gone to the beat of his own drum.
"It started off just sort of, you know, like banging on pots and pans in the kitchen," Bean said of his childhood musicality. "But I guess in a way that's sort of the start to any music career and my mom let it happen, so thank God for that."
Bean's parents were supportive of his need to create, eventually moving him from his kitchen drum kit to piano lessons and buying a piano in their home.
Today, Bean is 19 years old and living in Manhattan, studying classical musical composition on scholarship at New York University. And though Bean is studying music, it's not solely an academic pursuit.
Together with Ryan Williams and Henryk Kress, Bean is part of the band The Gazebo. Combining elements of experimental, new wave, art rock, pop and jazz, The Gazebo will perform Dec. 21 at Howard's Club H in Bowling Green.
"You've got three different people with three different influences, but there's a ton of overlap," Bean said of The Gazebo's sound. "For instance, I am definitely the more sort of progressive rock or classical-based guy. Henryk takes more of the jazz side of things, and then Ryan enjoys more of the modern alternative rock scene.
"So it's three different approaches, but it always somehow does blend and it sort of functions [well]."
The Gazebo's roots go back to Bean's time in high school when the original trio — which included Bean and Williams — was in the Perrysburg Jazz Band together. The Gazebo got started during the summer of 2008, with Kress joining in 2010.
The band's latest lineup is a studious bunch. Kress is studying both classical and jazz guitar at University of Toledo, while Williams is studying music education at BGSU and is also active within the percussion department, according to Bean. Together, the trio released the full-length "Lawn Structures" in 2010 and "(T)here" EP in 2012.
"We're all multi-instrumentalists," Bean said. "So on our recordings, you hear, like, 12-20 instruments, but most of them are being performed by one of the three of us."
Though its core is Bean on vocals, Williams on drums and Kress on guitar, The Gazebo does not have a stripped-down sound.
On the band's recordings thus far, Bean has also tackled bass, keys, ukulele, trombone and piano.
Kress, meanwhile, has played electric and acoustic guitar, cello, trumpet, mandolin, pedal effects and done vocals. Williams has done vocals and played the drums, marimba, cymbals, tubular bells, timpani and gong.
"He plays it like it's an actual classical instrument, which is — I think — fantastic," Bean said of Williams' drumming style. "It gives us a looser sound, and that's been a critique we've often had, is that it's not really like [a] driving rock kind of sound.
"But at the same time, we enjoy the music we make. And since we all have either classical or jazz training, it sort of brings a nuance to our approach."
Because all its members are in school, The Gazebo also has a unique recording approach. The band exchanges ideas and music online while at school, then splits the actual recording of its music between a couple of different spots in Northwest Ohio when all the members are together.
Lately, The Gazebo has been busy working on its forthcoming double album, a concept record that started with the song "Flight to Babylon" off "Lawn Structures."
The storyline for the double-album, "The Living Sun," is about a character who starts in California, moves through Joshua Tree Forest and makes his way east.
The concept is inspired by the band members' respective travels and primarily is about moving forward in life.
"Obviously, we write from our perspectives and experiences, but it is supposed to be a universal message, which is one of just sort of 'Who am I?'" Bean said. "It's about identity and just moving to new places."
The first part of "The Living Sun," "The Warming Sun," is scheduled to be released in January.
Until then, The Gazebo is eager to get back together in Northwest Ohio to finish recording and perform at Howard's.
"We're playing [with] a six-person set," Bean said of the show. "It should be a lot of fun and really good."
On Dec. 21, The Gazebo will perform at Howard's, 210 N. Main St. in Bowling Green. The Gazebo's performance will also include Connor Leupp (vocals, keyboard, percussion), Vince Chiaverini (bass) and Tyler Fowler (tenor saxophone).

Dozens gathered at the state capitol to support the newly introduced anti-bullying bill.
Parents and children shared painful stories of bullying during a House Education Committee hearing.
The legislation was introduced earlier this month, calling for Minnesota school districts to adopt strict policies keeping students safe. It would require them to develop comprehensive protection plans, and to investigate all reports of bullying.
The bill's author is Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis). At 37 words long, Minnesota's anti-bullying law is widely considered one of the weakest in the nation.

ATHENS, Ga. --- As the Georgia Bulldog football team prepares for its season opening clash with seventh ranked Boise State in the Georgia Dome, the Athletic Association is asking Bulldogs everywhere to "Spread the Red" in an effort to unify the Bulldog Nation on Saturday, September 3, 2011. All fans, whether attending the game in the Georgia Dome or supporting the Dawgs from home, are encouraged to wear red on game day. Georgia will be sporting a new Nike Pro Combat uniform for the Boise State game that features a red jersey and red game pants.
"We already know that there will be a large number of Georgia fans in the Dome to support us. What would be awesome is to have every one of them wearing red to help create a great atmosphere and help energize our football team," says Head Coach Mark Richt.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of Taliban fighters crossed from an area of eastern Afghanistan largely abandoned by U.S. troops Saturday and killed more than two dozen soldiers and police in northwest Pakistan, Pakistani officials said.
It was the latest in a series of attacks that have raised tensions among Pakistani, Afghan and U.S. officials. Afghan officials have denied the raids came from their side of the border.
At least 200 militants crossed into Chitral district, where militant violence is rare, Saturday morning and attacked seven checkpoints run by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, two of which were overrun, the Pakistani military said.
There were conflicting reports about the numbers of Pakistani security forces and militants killed.
The Pakistani military said 25 paramilitary soldiers and police and 20 militants were killed in the fighting. But local police official Nizam Khan said 38 soldiers and police died along with nine militants.
Fighting was still ongoing Saturday afternoon, as Pakistan sent in reinforcements to drive the militants back across the border, the military said.
The militants chanted "God is great!" and "Long live jihad!" as they fought, said Capt. Abdul Ghani, a member of the paramilitary forces.
The military blamed the attack on Pakistani Taliban fighters and their Afghan allies who have taken sanctuary in the Afghan districts of Nuristan and Kunar across the border from Chitral. The U.S. largely pulled out of Kunar about a year ago but recently added additional troops.
Maj. Mohammad Ayub Hassainkhail, deputy border police commander in eastern Afghanistan, denied the attack came from his side of the border.
"We have officers all along the border area and we haven't seen any movement of the insurgents across the border," said Hassainkhail.
Gen. Shams Ul-Rahman Zahid, the provincial police chief in Nuristan, said Pakistani Taliban fighters have operated in the province. But he claimed pressure from Afghan and NATO forces forced them to go back to Pakistan.
NATO did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Pakistani military said it has given Afghan and NATO forces intelligence about large pockets of militants in Kunar and Nuristan over the last year, but they have not taken sufficient action.
In the absence of NATO and Afghan army forces along the border, "the terrorists are using these areas as safe havens and have mounted repeated attacks against ... security forces posts and isolated villages," the military said in a written statement.
Pakistan complained earlier this summer that militants coming from Afghanistan killed at least 55 members of the security forces and tribal police in a spate of attacks, and demanded that U.S. and Afghan forces do more to stem the flow of fighters.
A senior Western intelligence official expressed doubt at the time about Pakistan's figures and whether all the attacks came from bases in Afghanistan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence matters.
Kabul and Washington have long accused Pakistan of not doing enough to stop militants from crossing into Afghanistan to stage attacks. Afghanistan also complained earlier this summer that Pakistan fired more than 750 rockets into eastern Afghanistan that killed at least 40 people.
The Pakistan army denied it intentionally fired rockets into Afghanistan, but acknowledged that several rounds fired at militants conducting cross-border attacks may have landed over the border.
Also Saturday, gunmen kidnapped and killed a retired army colonel in northwestern Pakistan, and a police officer died trying to rescue him, said police official Umer Hayat.
The gunmen seized Col. Shakeel Ahmad as he was on his way home from morning prayers in the garrison city of Kohat, said Hayat. Police intercepted the gunmen's car at a checkpoint and engaged them in a fire fight in which one police officer was killed and two others wounded. The gunmen escaped and later shot dead Ahmad and abandoned his body alongside a road.
No group has claimed responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban have often targeted soldiers and police in the country.
Associated Press writer Rahim Faiez contributed to this report from Kabul, Afghanistan.

Simple steps now can save trouble when cold weather arrives
HUNTINGTON -- Fall is officially here, and that means that winter is just around the corner.
It is that time of year when we all need to do a few things to get your home ready for the onslaught of cold weather. After planning a trip somewhere warm in January, one should consider making a checklist of chores that will keep the family warm and dry through the season.
Heat is of primary importance, so get the furnace checked by a professional first thing. This not only assures you that this piece of machinery is in good working order but also establishes a relationship with someone you can call in an emergency. Stock up on furnace filters and change them every month to keep your furnace working efficiently and your air cleaner.
Programmable thermostats seem to be the mantra of the day. They can be set so that the heat flows when you are on sight and is a cooler temperature when you are away. That way you don't have to think about switching the thermostat down before you leave the house. Putting this on your checklist is a good way to educate yourself about the latest technology in home heat.
Many folks use their fireplace extensively to heat their homes and cut down on the expense of gas and electricity. These also need be cleaned and checked for necessary repairs. Chimney sweeps didn't die off with Mary Poppins. They are still out there and good to call once a year to give your chimney a clean bill of health.
Once the heat is flowing the next step for getting ready for winter is to retain as much of it as possible. Seal all those little holes in your house where pipes and wires enter the premises. Weather-strip and caulk the doors and windows - if you need to bring out the storm windows do it now. This is also a good time to investigate replacement windows for older homes. They do make a difference.
Keeping the family dry is a necessity come summer or winter. This is just a good time to do an inspection of your roof to make sure there are no loose shingles. It is easier to get a repair accomplished in fair weather rather than on a frightful winter day. While your roofer is doing a check, have them do an inspection of gutters and downspouts. You might have to clean out debris so they efficiently direct water away from the house.
Finally, while you have someone inspecting your roof, gutters and downspouts have them look for varmint holes. Those malicious squirrels and raccoons are looking for a place to hole up for the winter and you don't want them at your address. They can be very invasive, and you don't want to wake up some morning with a fat squirrel sitting on your bedside table, so board up any possible entryways. Be alert to holes around your foundation as well that might be an invitation to not only squirrel but other vermin as well.
Keeping the family dry also means draining the water hose and outside plumbing, so pipes don't freeze and break.
Take some time and insulate any exposed pipes to prevent any disastrous water breaks. Finally, before you go off to enjoy a winter vacation be sure you drain any pipes that might break, backup or in general cause a problem while you are away.

Perfect for Kids!
I bought these last summer when my son was 1 and again this summer now that he is 2. They are the perfect shoe for an active little boy. They protect his toes and stay on his feet, but still let him get wet and muddy and sandy. You can hose them down when he's done and they look new all summer! Very sturdy and well made. They are a bit tight on his chubby foot, but the bungy cords allow them to stretch out. The only downside is these are a bit stinky by the end of the summer...but what shoe isnt?

Feb. 14, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- Both Georgia's men and women's cross country teams and three individuals from those teams have earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic honors.
The Lady Bulldogs posted a 3.24 GPA while the Georgia men have a cumulative GPA of 3.18. Teams must have started at least five runners at an NCAA Regional meet and have a cumulative team GPA at the end of the most recent semester of at least 3.0 to be eligible.
Juniors Carly Hamilton, Luke Baker and Brandon Lord were also named USTFCCCA All-Academic Individuals for their performances in the classroom and on the course. Individuals must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and be a USTFCCCA Division I Cross Country All-American finisher or top 15 finisher (or top 10 percent) at an NCAA Division I Regional meet.
Hamilton, a native of Springboro, Ohio, is a Marketing major with a 3.29 GPA. She had a team-best 15th-place finish at the NCAA South Regional.
Baker, a native of McDonough, Ga., is a Management major with a 3.31 GPA. He led the Bulldogs with a fourth-place finish at the South Regional as Georgia captured the team championship at the meet for the second time in history (2003).
Lord, a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., is an Applied Biotechnology major with a 3.58 GPA. He was seventh at the 10k South Regional and helped lead the Bulldogs to their third consecutive NCAA Championships.
All three Georgia competitors are currently in Seattle, Wash., preparing for this weekend's Husky Classic. Results and recaps from the meet, as well as from the Texas A&M Invitational in College Station, Texas, will be found at georgiadogs.com.

Fry is the 25th baseball individual to go into the Hall. Fry is one of the greatest hitters in Missouri baseball history. He played at MU from 1995-98 and is still near the top of several lists in the Mizzou record books. Named a Second Team All-American in 1998, Fry was also a standout in the classroom, twice earning Academic All-American honors (1997, 1998) and was a three-time Academic All-Big 12 selection.
Here is a list of where Fry stands in the Mizzou Baseball record book:
§ 1st in hits in a season (92 in 1996)
§ 1st in home runs in a season (27 in 1998)
§ 1st in career doubles (56)
§ 2nd in career RBI (222)
§ 2nd in career runs scored (223)
§ 2nd in career extra base hits (106)
§ 3rd in career hits (265)
Today, Fry lives in Liberty, Mo. and is an attorney in Blue Springs, Mo.
Also on Friday, the 1964 team will become the fourth team inducted in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame, and the second baseball team. The '64 team joins the 1954 National Champion Baseball team in the Hall of Fame, making baseball the first program to have multiple teams in the Hall.
Teams in the Missouri Intercollegiate Hall of Fame:
§ 1954 Baseball (Class of 1994)
§ 1965 Indoor Track (Class of 1995)
§ 1941 Football (Class of 2008)
§ 1964 Baseball (Class of 2009)
The 1964 team was the National runners-up, finishing the year 27-5-1, winning its last 21 games of the season. The Tigers were a perfect 19-0 in the Big Eight, claiming their fourth-straight conference title. That squad led the nation with a 0.65 ERA, an NCAA record that still stands today.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2009 will be inducted tonight at the Holiday Inn Executive Center. The Class will also be recognized during halftime of Saturday's men's basketball game against Nebraska.

Gray Cook, Brett Jones & Mark Cheng, 2-DVD set plus manual
Plenty of people teach the Turkish getup, but lately many of the techniques originate from the work of Gray Cook, Brett Jones and Mark Cheng in their two-dvd and booklet set, Kettlebells from the Ground Up.
Two examples of Kalos Sthenos spinoff: I spent some time last summer with Dan John, who teaches only the bottom part of their method, which we filmed as part of his kettlebell form dvd. And recent I got another glimpse of the getup teaching from Charlie Weingroff in a workshop that he presented at Stanford and that will be part of his forthcoming DVD set.
I've been curious to discover the differences between teaching styles, and especially to learn it from the guys who spent the time to break down the getup so carefully. You'll have to wait a few weeks to get the personal impact of my Kettlebells from the Ground Up dvd review, because there are plenty of layers that need private, attentive practice, but I still have a pretty good idea what we'll find.
This dvd and booklet set is directed more toward the general exercise public than their other projects that target the fitness and medical professionals, but it's still an advanced look at how we move. Using the Turkish getup with a kettlebell, we're re-learning how to move from the ground up, fostering good posture, body mechanics and symmetry, left side to right, and front to back. They teach this as a coordinated effort from a foundation of alignment and movement mapping, and watching them move through the positions, you can tell their practice has paid off beautifully.
Gray does a short commentary on primal patterns, those movements we have from birth as part of our central nervous system. These patterns are well represented in every getup, moving us through rolling patterns, shoulder mobility, the active straight-leg raise, the ability to sit up, lunge and stand up. And as we load the getup by adding the off-center weight of the kettlebell, we're using weight to teach us where our patterns are lacking. This is the most important lesson of the dvd, and it's part I suspect very few people will pick up on their own.
At each of the seven steps, they've designed feedback to point out the weak links. Within the getup, using arm circles, neck rolls, leg raises and long stability holds, we can discover kinks in the flow, and can work to smooth out the bumps. This is mobility, flexibility, stability, strength and breathing practice—working flexion, extension and rotations in all planes of human motion… all in one exercise.
You can work the getup without knowing any of this, and if you're attentive and you work toward perfecting your form, you don't need the dvd to be successful. But if you're not one of those who's tuned in to your movement skills, or particularly if you're a trainer who works with others and will benefit from the regression tips, this will be a good investment.
Most of the TGU techniques now taught throughout the industry came from their study of the getup for this presentation. Whether this is worth it to you personally, I'd say that depends on whether you plan to actually use the getup—buying, watching, but not doing… well, you know where that goes.
These are brilliant guys who make it easy for the rest of us to soak up their creative thinking. I'm a fan for sure.
You can order the set, $79 for the two dvds plus 36-page manual, here.
Their newest project, Kettlebells from the Center, is reviewed here.
