Nottingham grinds to a standstill as traffic floods in for last-minute Christmas shopping
Posted: December 24, 2013|
TENS of thousands of people descended on the city centre yesterday, clogging up car parks and major roads.
Nottingham's Mansfield Road, Woodborough Road, Maid Marian Way and Upper Parliament Street all suffered heavy congestion throughout most of yesterday.
Cars queuing to park blocked buses from reaching their destinations and busy shoppers filled the pavements.
Mark Muldoon, 29, of West Bridgford, said: "I came in on the Number 8 bus from West Bridgford and it was on time and the driver was lovely.
"When I got in, though, I really noticed how busy it was when the bus was trying to get to my stop.
"There were a lot of glum men rushing around trying to get last-minute presents.
"It was pretty clogged up near the Victoria Centre with people trying to park. I am glad I took the bus because waiting in a queue to park is one of the worst things when you have shopping to do."
The wet and windy weather also hampered shoppers and made driving conditions worse.
Penny Wheat, 27, of Arnold said: "A lot of buses are stuck in the traffic because cars are lining up on the main roads trying to get in the car parks.
"It is busy just like a Saturday but people are rushing about a bit more.
"I think the weather is making things worse."
A spokesman for Nottingham City Transport said: "The last few days before Christmas are always very busy on the roads as people finish work for the holidays and then start to do their final bits of shopping.
"There have been long queues for car parks and supermarkets across Nottingham which has tailed back on to the main roads and our bus routes.
"Our buses have been taking twice as long as normal to complete their journeys and this has caused customers to wait longer than normal, despite the efforts of our drivers, control room and liaison team to keep buses moving."

Hating Geert Wilders
by Daniel Pipes
Translations of this item:
In its frenzied loathing of the Netherlands' most important politician, Geert Wilders, the Dutch press will do almost anything to attack him.
He's now in hot water for calling on a reduction in the number of Moroccans in the Netherlands. Tom-Jan Meeus of the leading newspaper NRC Handelsblad asked my opinion on this development. I wrote a response that both endorsed and criticized Wilders:
Meeus devoted a whole article to this little response, "Amerikaanse geldschieter neemt afstand van Wilders," which translates as "U.S. money-lender distances himself from Wilders."
This title is inaccurate in two ways: First, the Middle East Forum Education Fund did not lend money to Wilders but paid his lawyer to cover his legal expenses. Second, I did not distance myself from Wilders here but merely reiterated long-standing differences with him. In his article, Meeus also ignored my point that Moroccans likewise are uneager to have more Europeans live among them.
In brief, NRC Handelsblad dropped the nuances of my response to recruit me as another voice against Wilders. Shame on it. (March 22, 2014)
Mar. 23, 2014 updates: (1) Tom-Jan Meeus sent me a photograph of his article as it appeared in the paper version of NRC Handelsblad, which I am posting here.
The print title reads "Sponsor: Wilders had voorzichtiger moeten zijn," or "Sponsor: Wilders should have been more careful" – a perfectly acceptable title to me. Also, the text there differs somewhat from the one in print. I asked Meeus in detail about these discrepancies – why they occurred, which textual version he wrote, whether he is responsible for either of the headlines – but he brushed me off by asserting that my headline, about his hating Geert Wilders "has no basis in the piece that was published." But I maintain that giving all this space to my reiterating a long-standing difference with Wilders is not newsworthy in the least; to devote to it such attention, plus impose an inaccurate title, means deploying me in NRC Handelsblad's hate campaign against Wilders.
(2) Dutch journalist Joost Niemöller, who interviewed me earlier this month about Wilders, responded to my blog above with a blog of his own, "Daniel Pipes over NRC berichtgeving Wilders: Schande!" (or "Daniel Pipes on NRC's Wilders report: Shame!"). In it, he notes that Meeus has acknowledged on television that he sees it as his goal to work on behalf of "traditional Dutch parties" against Wilders, thereby openly confessing that he is on a mission to bring down Wilders.
(3) A number of readers commented on the antisemitic tone of "U.S. money-lender distances himself from Wilders." This prompted me to ask several Dutch speakers if the same holds in their language: their response is not clear. Some say it does not convey this, others say it was a strange (as well as inaccurate) word choice. As one person put it, "donateur or geldschenker would both have been more accurate as well as less innuendo laden."
Mar. 24, 2014 update: Tom-Jan Meeus replied on Twitter to the above three points, "So if you quote @DanielPipes accurately, you are a Wilders hater in his point of view. Fact free activism."
In reply, I point the reader to the final sentence of (1) above: "giving all this space to my reiterating a long-standing difference with Wilders is not newsworthy in the least; to devote to it such attention, plus impose an inaccurate title, means deploying me in NRC Handelsblad's hate campaign against Wilders."

New trip report at Dondo Outdoors.
Edited by Dondo on 04/16/2010 22:37:36 MDT.
Another good report from Dondo!
Edited by TomClark on 05/01/2010 17:08:45 MDT.
Thanks, Tom. Just noticed your report on a Superstition wilderness trip and am looking forward to reading it.
Dondo - great report and photos. Makes me want to get out and hike, despite the snow all around. My favorite line of your report: "The mattress is a full-length POE Eco-Thermo, 20.2 oz. of bedtime bliss. You can have this mat when you pry it from my cold, dead hands."Every hiker needs to know what gear is non-negotiable, regardless of weight! ~ Carol ~
Thanks, Carol. That's probably the most heartfelt line in the report. ;-)
Nice report. Do you have a remote for your camera or can you really get back into your tent like that within 10 seconds?
Great question, Michael. Believe it or not, that shot was taken with the 10 second timer. I hit the shutter button, sprinted for the unoccupied half of the entrance, dove in, hopped through the two poles onto the mat, and pulled the sleeping bag over me just in time for the shutter to trip.
You're the man!

Creativity and Mental Health, 12/2012
1.) "Creativity Tied To Mental Illnesses Like Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia in New Swedish Study" by LiveScience: Click here to read: "Last year, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet near Stockholm found that families with a history of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia were more likely to produce artists and scientists. They built on this evidence in a new study, published this month in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, which covers a larger population sample and a wider scope of psychiatric diagnoses..." This confirms the pioneering research of Saybrook Creativity Studies Faculty Member Ruth Richards at Harvard University.
2.) "Bipolar and Creativity are Linked" by Claudia Sleggers: Click here to read: "Does some fine madness yield great artists, writers, and scientists? The evidence is growing for a significant link between bipolar disorder and creative temperament and achievement..."
3.) "The 'Sylvia Plath' Effect" by Deborah Smith Bailey: Click here to read: "Some studies have backed up this notion, suggesting that writers, artists and others are more likely to have a mental illness and that people with certain mental illnesses, such as depression and mood disorders, appear somewhat more likely to be creative. While some researchers have found that creative people are slightly more at-risk, others have found more grave connections, such as that they are 30 percent more likely to have bipolar disorder."

A nice close look at the rarest new McLaren of all.
When McLaren finally begins cranking out the P1 supercar, don't expect to see it all that frequently; the car maker says only 500 will be made at most, which means they'll make 500 of them. But that still means the P1 will be 100 times more common than the McLaren MP4-12C High Sport seen in this video. (more…)

An Excerpt from the Introduction: The Culture of the Hand
Peter N. Miller
Rainer Maria Rilke looked at Rodin's sculptures and saw hands.
Rodin has made hands, independent, small hands which, without forming part of a body, are yet alive. Hands rising upright, evil and irritated, hands whose five bristling fingers seem to bark like the five throats of a hell-hound. Hands in motion, sleeping hands and hands in the act of awaking; criminal hands weighted by heredity, and those that are tired and have lost all desire, lying like some sick beast crouched in a corner, knowing none can help them. 1
This is dazzling. But Rilke is not casting about for a metonymic characterization of the relationship between "hands" and "wholes." No, he is on to something else. "Hands," he continues, "are a complicated organism, a delta in which much life from distant sources flows together and is poured into the great stream of action." For him, hands are real, and what they make is real. In fact, what they make is history. "Hands have a history of their own, they have, indeed, their own Culture." 2
This book, and this series for which it is named, is devoted to the Culture of the Hand, on all the many levels gestured at, hinted at, or only implied by Rilke. One of the reasons why "Culture" is so much better a word than the "Civilization" used by the English translator of the Rodin book, is that it gives us access to the very material level conveyed by the Latin term Cultura–the human intervention upon Nature–as well as to the conceptualizations that are the result of the equally effortful work of tending the spirit: cultura animi. Rilke's Culture of the Hand is, therefore, a way of defining human activity: training the hand, the works of the hand, the world made by many hands. This broad domain, in its many splendors, is the subject of this book; a book whose purpose is to show possibilities and teach questions, not to foreclose them or to preach answers.
For those of us interested in cultural histories of the material world, the twentieth century began in the 1880s, in Bonn, with Karl Lamprecht. This was the decade in which Aby Warburg was his student–later Marc Bloch devoted his most assiduous reading to Lamprecht, and Johan Huizinga engaged with Lamprecht at key stages of his career–and in which he cemented a relationship with Henri Pirenne. 3 But most of all, in this decade Lamprecht launched projects which would define the next century's chief initiatives. He published a book on ornamental patterns in medieval incipits; he organized a collaborative "total history" of an illuminated manuscript, treating it as an artistic, political, economic, political and material artifact; he published a four- volume study of the medieval Moselle region that blended geography, economy and law; and he launched himself into a multi-volume work on German history that he characterized in terms of cultural history.
Of course, if he is at all known today it is because of the two decade long polemic that broke out around him and which centered around his practice as a scholar–the verdict was dim–and his endorsement of cultural history–still a swear word amongst professional historians in Germany. 4 The Lamprechtstreit, like the contemporary Dreyfus Affair in France, divided teachers from students and colleagues from one another, forcing many who admired Lamprecht's originality to duck and cover, if not actively disavow any sympathy for his approach.
Yet, in a very real way, Lamprecht is the most important historian for the twentieth century, and in particular for those of us who tell stories with, as well as about, things. As the teacher of Warburg–and even if Gombrich went too far in making him the exclusive influence on Warburg at the expense of Usener–and as the promotor of Pirenne, who in turn inspired and was the godfather of the Annales (with Bloch and Febvre in turn serving as godfathers to Braudel, Le Roy Ladurie, Ginzburg, Davis, Davis, Glassie and Darnton), Lamprecht stands behind the two most innovative "schools" of history in the twentieth century, or at least schools of cultural history, broadly understood. 5
Our story, indeed, begins here. But it almost ends here as well. Because in 1929, the founding of the Annales marked the emergence of a material history with the culture shorn away, lest any flabby Geistesgeschichte debase the new coinage. Later that same year, Aby Warburg died in Hamburg. Over the next few years the profile of his institute shifted away from the more anthropological, and material, contexts that so attracted its founder, to the intellectualized cultural history of Hercules am Scheidewege and Studies in Iconology. With this equal and opposite purging of the cultural from the material and the material from the cultural, Lamprecht's innovative synthesis mostly vanished from view. Where it remained active, in a clear example of Jürgen Kocka's notion of "ideological regression and methodological innovation, was in the increasingly racial Volks- and Landesgeschichte of the 1930s. Hermann Aubin, for example, began as a Lamprecht-inspired student of Landesgeschichte at Bonn, and wound up as the director of a Nazi ethnic demography institute at Breslau. (That he ended up back in Bonn, teaching through the 1950s and serving as a mentor to a new generation of social historians is a reminder that there can be two sides to every coin.) 6
Over the course of the twentieth century, like Aristophanes' ur-hermaphrodite, these sundered perspectives sought but never, or only too rarely, found each other. In the last decade or two, however, the gropings of material historians towards cultural explanations, and of cultural historians for materializations, perhaps best embodied in the turn to microhistory by social historians, histories of the book by literary scholars, antiquarianism by classicists and art historians, and history of science by cultural historians, shows that the magnetism of Lamprecht's synthesis still works, even if invisibly and at a great distance. This volume represents an explicit attempt at union on both the practical and theoretical levels: the essays do the work of joining cultural to material history, and the self-consciousness about this work, and about the perplexities and antinomies of the historical meta-narrative with which they are in dialogue, is bound up with the desire of contributors to intervene in and re-point a historiography.
A genealogy of the relationship between "culture" and "material" would be a daunting undertaking, almost an encyclopedia of the "West" from the most ancient times–or even earlier, as Horst Bredekamp suggests in his essay–to the present. No one who has read through–or in antiquity, listened to–Cicero's discussion of the liberal versus the manual arts, the one the province of the head and the free, the other that of the hand and the enslaved, can have any doubt of the depth of the valorization of the one and depreciation of the other. This is an old but long-lasting perspective. It was still potent at the beginning of the twentieth century, when French and German scholars could debate their national superiority in terms of the supremacy of Civilisation or Cultur. The threat of the material and the quotidian loomed large over this debate: the French saw in Cultur the anthropological lowest common denominator; the Germans in Civilisation the banality of everyday practice. That the single most influential work of cultural history, Jacob Burckhardt's study of Renaissance Italy, still bears its late Victorian mistranslated title illustrates the gravitational pull exerted by these century-old perceptions. (It is of course "The Culture of the Renaissance in Italy," but Middlemore could not bear precisely Burckhardt's gesture at practice, rite and, as we might say today, habitus.)
The nineteenth-century's problem with materiality is worth dilating upon. For while the ancient bias remains powerful, it is also deeply challenged. By the middle of the century there is a broad attempt to incorporate a wider range of evidence, including that of material remains and daily life, and new kinds of questions, including those that came to found the disciplines of anthropology, archaeology, folkloreand art history. No longer could these claims simply be ignored; having been made so forcefully they now had to be rejected, equally forcefully. And they were.
This rejection, which coincided with the establishment of history as a modern university discipline, had the effect of setting "back" the history of historical scholarship by at least a half, if not a whole century–and I mean by this the retarded rise of social and economic history, which was stillborn c. 1860. The rejection reflected an insistence on the priority of history as practiced by professional academics over and against an insurgent popular practice, of the university over and against the local association and the museum, of the legitimacy of older as opposed to more recent history and, of course, an underlying discomfort with materiality. The specter, too, that haunts this rejection, is that of Marx. 7
The Revolutions of 1848 were not only, as Rydings and Dilly pointed out long ago in a brilliant article, the crucible of cultural history, they also launched the "Communist Manifesto." 8 And from then on, even to our own day, talk of material history easily blurred in the listener's ear into "historical materialism." Marx, then, even as he opened perspectives for some, became for others a tool for tarring. Of course, as anyone who has looked to Marx for a discussion of material culture knows full well, he makes no effort at all to show how material evidence tells us things about society that we do not already know. Marx was, indeed, a prophet of "materiality," of the idea that the material matters, but he was not interested in exploring how it matters. Instead, he skips directly to the implications of production for broader questions of politics and economics. Indeed, what now passes for the study of material culture–close attention to the way in which things and people mutually interact–he classes, and dismisses, under the term "fetish." So, far from serving as a resource for those then, or since, interested in materiality Marx doubly set it back: both in terms of a personal lack of interest which he communicated to his followers, and in terms of the fear his political program inspired which led others to condemn the whole prospect of material meanings. (Engels might represent a different set of possibilities, and a different genealogy.) 9

Version 1.0 of the File Server Capacity Tool (FSCT) was announced yesterday during a presentation by Jian Yan and Bartosz Nyczkowski at SNIA's Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara, CA. The presentation covered a number of details about FSCT and included a demo running FSCT with the HomeFolders workload.
If you are not familiar with FSCT, the download page offers this overview: "File server capacity planning and performance troubleshooting are critical aspects of high-level network administration. Central file servers and distributed client workstations are now the norm in most corporate networks. This structure reduces storage capacity requirements, centralizes backup, increases the availability of files, and simplifies the document revision and review process. However, because data storage and access are centralized, performance limitations impact the entire network population. Accurately projecting the number of users that hardware can support under a specific workload, and understanding when and where bottlenecks occur, are critical to making efficient improvements to the server configuration. File server capacity planning tools can be valuable in choosing new hardware for purchase, identifying the capacity of existing hardware, locating existing bottlenecks, and planning for resource expansion in advance of resource exhaustion. The throughput capacity of a file server can be expressed either as the maximum number of operations per second or a maximum number of users supported by the configuration. These values are influenced by several factors, some of which include processor speed, available memory, disk speed, network throughput and latency, and the speed with which SMB requests are processed."
The final version is available for download in both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions. It is supported on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (with the latest service pack applied).
Downloads are available now:x64: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b20db7f1-15fd-40ae-9f3a-514968c65643 x86: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0b212272-1884-4af1-972d-42ef1db9f977
A white paper is also included in the download packages, with detailed description of the tool, step-by-step instructions on how to use it and reference of the command line interface.

A team of fire trackers that includes Santa Rosa fire Capt. Keith Flood headed back out into the Yosemite wilderness early Tuesday to continue mapping the path for hotshot firefighters.
Flood is part of a 12-member intelligence-gathering team helping fire officials stay on top of the Rim Fire.
The massive wildfire has burned more than 370 square miles in the Stanislaus National Forest and now is burning the edges of Yosemite National Park.
Western Wildfires
Fire mapping is a specialty job that has taken the veteran fire captain to other major fires in the state for the past several years. Before being sent to the Yosemite blaze on Aug. 17, Flood was mapping a large Butte County fire.
"It's very rewarding. Every day a new map comes out ... it has your work on it," said Flood Tuesday.
Those maps give fire officials crucial information to help them plan firefighting strategy.
While the Yosemite fire has been burning for weeks, firefighters continue to gain on the blaze. Officials Tuesday reported that more than 4,300 firefighters had gotten a line around 75 percent of the fire,up from 45 percent two days earlier.
It is the fourth largest fire in California history, having burned about 236,000 acres and 111 buildings, including 11 homes. The cause remains under investigation, although fire officials have indicated it could have started in a marijuana plot, according to news reports.
A Sonoma County strike team of five engines, and crews has been dispatched to the effort, as were other local engines and water tender trucks.
Most of those crews have returned or were on their way back home, said Sonoma County fire officials. Water tender trucks and their crews from Windsor and Glen Ellen remained at the fire.

text: Pebble is an e-ink smartwatch for your iPhone or Android device Technology 12 April 12 by Mark Brown Pebble Technology Meet the latest Kickstarter sensation: Pebble. It's an e-ink watch that hooks up to your iPhone or Android, to display things like music controls and email alerts on your wrist.The watch has a 144 x 168 pixel display, and uses the same e-paper technology you'd find in Amazon's Kindle. That means it only displays in black and white, but makes it readable outside under direct sunlight, and gives the watch a seven day battery life.Pebble connects to your iPhone or Android wirelessly over Bluetooth, and can be used to grab data from various apps, or send commands to your phone. For example, it can display email subject lines and caller IDs, or shuffle to the next track in Spotify.Also, you'll be able to get a "Watchapp Store" app on your device, to grab new tools. That includes fancy new watch animations, or an app for cyclists that uses the GPS on your phone to view accurate statistics like average speed, elapsed time and distance travelled.Enterprising coders will be able to use the open SDK to build their own apps for Pebble. They'll be able to harness the watch's features, which include an ARM microprocessor, an accelerometer, a vibrating motor and four buttons.The team, at the appropriately-named Pebble Technology, is close to entering production but hit up Kickstarter to help fund the large component order, production tooling and the global Bluetooth certification. They hit their $100,000 goal in just two hours -- right now, they've got almost $700,000.The watch will retail for more than $150 (£95), but if you back the project for $115 (£72) you'll get a jet black watch. Pay a little more and you can get a Pebble in another colour, advance access to the SDK, an early prototype Pebble, and even a custom-made watchface.The watch is expected to ship in September 2012.You might remember the team from the inPulse smartwatch for Blackberry. Like Pebble, it sent caller ID, emails, calendar alerts and customisable apps to a wristwatch. Edited by Duncan Geere Comments If this is the same e-ink paper like in Kindle, then why it is animated, and Kindle is not? I don't think Kindle has worse CPU :P Miodzia Apr 13th 2012 In reply to Miodzia It's a more advanced e-ink than the kindle was. e-ink is a lot more sophisticated now than it was when the kindle was developed. David Jul 11th 2012 This sounds really cool and interesting! Though I want to know the reason why I (a general consumer) would want to pay $150 to save me pulling out my $1000 iPhone from my pocket to do the stuff above. Besides the fact that it is awesome! i_Stalker_x3 Apr 14th 2012 In reply to i_Stalker_x3 I reckon the biggest justification that most people have for spending money on new technology is merely the fact that it is cool. HarryMonmouth Apr 22nd 2012 In reply to HarryMonmouth People still wear normal wristwatches, yet pretty much everyone has some form of phone (and they've pretty much been able to display the time since it began). Some get cheap ones for about £20, but others indulge in shiny timepieces upwards of £500 - the ones with solid gold faces and the like.Besides, the Pebble is not just cool, it's useful. Mostly simply for the purposes of being another way to be 'hands-free', something both phone-makers and the common bloke alike have been striving for for time eternal. For example, I'm a cyclist. Aside from the fact that just being able to check the time easily would be incredibly useful, if I get a text (which might relate to where I'm going/why I'm going there, or just generally be important), I can check it without having to stop or sacrifice some control of my bike to do so. It may be a niche market, but it's still a market. Kookas May 31st 2012 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

Comment Re:Blunder of the Century (Score 1) 47
Deep Fritz 10 - Kramnik,V (2750). Man vs Machine Bonn, Germany, 27.11.2006. Kramnik played 34...Qe3?? The blunder of the century.
Kramnik played the move 34...Qe3 calmly, stood up, picked up his cup and was about to leave the stage to go to his rest room. At least one audio commentator also noticed nothing, while Fritz operator Mathias Feist kept glancing from the board to the screen and back, hardly able to believe that he had input the correct move. Fritz was displaying mate in one, and when Mathias executed it on the board Kramnik briefly grasped his forehead, took a seat to sign the score sheet and left for the press conference, which he dutifully attended.
In the post match press conference Vladimir Kramnik confirmed that he had not blundered out of exhaustion, and had been calculating very well right to the end. He had no real explanation for the oversight that happened right at the end.
Kramnik in the press conference: "It was actually not only about the last move. I was calculating this line very long in advance, and then recalculating. It was very strange, some kind of blackout. I was feeling well, I was playing well, I think I was pretty much better. I calculated the line many, many times, rechecking myself. I already calculated this line when I played 29...Qa7, and after each move I was recalculating, again, and again, and finally I blundered mate in one. Actually it was the first time that it happened to me, and I cannot really find any explanation. I was not feeling tired, I think I was calculating well during the whole game... It's just very strange, I cannot explain it."
Thus the question that everyone was asking remained unanswered: how can a player of Kramnik's caliber, a world champion who hovers around the Elo 2800 mark, overlook a mate in one move? Naturally there is no logical explanation â" we have to delve into the realm of pattern recognition and the psychology of human perception if we want to understand anything.
The rest of the article turns the board around, looks at it from Kramnik's position, and tries to get into his head to see what he was thinking. Personally, I think it's what I call "sniffing your own butt" when you get so inside yourself, you stop thinking about the rest of the world. You then perform bizarre actions which seem quite reasonable to you. This happens in groups as well. It helps to explain things like how pro-worker governments of the 20th century murdered millions of workers. There's just nobody there to second-guess your thinking, and even if there was, they would be heavily punished for speaking out and contradicting you. This is where crowdsourcing shines.
Unfortunately, Kramnik had somehow not registered the threat generated by the Fritz move 34.Nxf8. The white queen threatens mate in one on h7 (where it is protected by the knight). Black does nothing to neutralise this threat with his move 34...Qe3. And so, after he played it, Kramnik was immediately mated by the computer.
But how could he not have seen the threat after 34.Nxf8. An explanation was proffered by a very experienced chess player and trainer, Alexander Roshal, who is also the editor of the Russian chess magazine "64".
Alexander told us that the mating pattern that occurred during the game, with the white queen protected by a knight on f8 (as in the screen shot above), is extremely rare in chess. It is not one of the patterns that chess grandmasters automatically have in their repertoire. This was confirmed by a GM commentator in Bonn, who after Kramnik's move did not notice that it was a blunder and started discussing White's options â" but not the mate in one.
Chess blindness strikes again!

On the calendar, Saturday, May 31 is the date for the Kanawha City Community Center pool to open for the summer. A shortage of lifeguards, however, may keep everyone out of the pool then.
According to KCCC Director Jennifer Holley, as of last week, only 11 people had applied to work as lifeguards at the Charleston Parks and Recreation Department's four area public pools. Under a system developed by the department, she said, the pool at North Charleston Community Center will open first with the lifeguards available currently, followed by the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in downtown Charleston, the Cato Park pool on Charleston's West Side and the Kanawha City Community Center pool.
Holley said the facilities faced a similar dearth of trained lifeguards last year and the same system was implemented, with KCCC opening first in 2013, until enough staff was achieved. "They try to rotate throughout the area, she explained.
Holley said one possible obstacle in having enough lifeguards is the training/certification cost, which can be $200 or more in some instances. The City of Charleston community centers do not offer onsite training and certification programs, although some local entities, such as the Charleston Family YMCA, do, said Holley.
She said a local company, Legendary Lifeguards, can also provide instructions and credentials to become an American Red Cross-certified lifeguard with a two-day weekend program.
According to the Legendary Lifeguards website, the next sessions of lifeguard certification training will take place Saturday and Sunday, May17 and 18 and Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25 at the Coonskin Park Pool in Charleston. Legendary Lifeguards will also conduct recertification lifeguard training at Coonskin Park on May 18 and May 25. For information about these sessions, visit the website, www.legendarylifeguards.com, or contact Legendary Lifeguards President Eric Ferguson at 304-449-4347.
Holley said, along with the proper certification, lifeguards must be at least 15 years old (15-year-olds must have a work permit), undergo an interview process and pass a drug test. She said older individuals are also welcome to apply for lifeguard positions "if they're looking to make some extra money, as are former lifeguards who may need recertification (recertification is required every two years).
"They could get a lot of hours, said the KCCC director, "at least 40 hours, if they wanted them. We try to work around their schedule. They don't have to work during the entire week; they can work weekends or just weekdays.
Interested applicants should apply through the City of Charleston, Holley said, and not at the community centers. Applications can be downloaded at cityofcharleston.org or requested by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or in person at the Office of Human Resources, 501 Virginia St., E., Suite 304, Charleston.
The KCCC plans to offer weekly swim lessons, for $10 per week, June 16-June 18, June 23-25, June 30-July 2, July 7-July 9, July 14-July 16 and July 21-23.
Morning lessons for beginning youth swimmers will be held from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Beginning youth evening classes will take place from 6 to 6:455 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Evening swim lessons for advanced youth and adult swimmers will be held from 7 to 7:55 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the center.
Pre-registration is required for all classes, and all students must pass a previous swim level before advancing to the next one.
Checks and money orders for the classes can be mailed to: Charleston Parks and Recreation, 200 Baker Lane, Charleston, W.Va. 25302, Attn.: Swim Lessons.
The swim lesson sessions at the KCCC will offer the following:
Beginning to Swim, Levels 1, 2 and 3, 10:30 a.m., 6 p.m.
Level 1 (Parent with child, 6 p.m. class only): For children under age 3, who must be accompanied by an adult. Level 1 orients young children to the aquatic learning environment.
Level 1 (Ages 3 and up): These classes orient young children to the aquatic learning environment and make them more comfortable in the water. Children are given activities to teach them to enter and exit the pool in a safe manner. They will also learn to submerge to their nose, mouth and eyes; receive instruction in floating and buoyancy in front and back positions; and learn how to play safely in and around the pool.
Levels 2 and 3 (Ages 5 and up): Children will build upon the skills garnered in Level 1. They will start learning rudimentary propulsive swimming movements on the front and back. They will learn the swim front crawl and elementary back stroke and be introduced to the scissors and dolphin kicks.
Advanced Swim Levels 3-6, 7 p.m.
Level 3: Children will learn survival float and improve on their basic swim strokes.
Level 4: Children will improve on the front crawl and elementary backstroke to swim longer distances in the pool. They will also learn the arm movement for sidestroke and be introduced to the back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly strokes in the classes.
Level 5: Objectives include the coordination and refinement of strokes. They will also learn to increase their swimming distances, and front and back flip turns will be introduced.
Level 6: Personal water safety is accented in these classes; participants must be able to swim all of the five basic strokes for at least 100 yards and will learn how to improve their distances. They will also be taught turns, diving skills, fitness and water survival techniques.
Adult Beginning to Swim, 7 p.m.
Participants will learn how to float without support, recover to a vertical position and the fundamentals of treading water. The scissors and dolphin kicks will be introduced, as will the front crawl, elementary backstroke, butterfly stroke and breaststroke. Students will also learn how to increase their distances in the pool.
When the KCCC pool opens, operating hours will be noon until 6 p.m. daily. Admission is free.
The Kanawha City Community Center is located at 3511 Venable Ave. in Kanawha City. Further information about its programs and recreational opportunities is available by visiting the center or calling 304-348-6484.
Editor's Note: The Kanawha City Community Center will be closed from Thursday to Saturday this week for the West Virginia High School Tennis Tournament. Regular operating hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays.

Mourinho signs new Real deal
Real Madrid are 4/1 with BetVictor to win the Champions League next season after Jose Mourinho committed his future to the club.
The Special One, who took Real to the last four this year and secured a first La Liga title since 2008, has signed a new contract which will keep him at the Bernabeu until 2016.
Mourinho will now no doubt target a third triumph in Europe's elite club competition, having already lifted that trophy with Porto and Inter Milan.
A statement on the Madrid website read: "Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho have reached an agreement to extend the coach's contract with the club until June 30, 2016."
Speculation will also turn to possible transfer targets for the Spanish giants, who are 8/1 to land Spurs winger Gareth Bale this summer.
Punters can get 12/1 for Luka Modric to move from White Hart Lane to the Bernabeu and the same price for Mourinho to snap up Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.
Mourinho has also been taken out of the betting on who will start next season in charge of Chelsea, with Roberto Di Matteo an uneasy 8/11 favourite for this market.

I noticed that a post stated that this person has a life outside Bubblews. I believe we all do but has this person considered that the person sitting at the computer might be handicapped and that is their only pleasure. The person who is posting on a regular basis is making a small income to pay a bill or perhaps get the much need medication their insurance won't pay for. I don't find fault with this person, they are entitled to their opinion. But, sometimes we have to stop and think about others and why they are doing such and such.
We never know what goes on behind closed doors and why the door is closed to start with.

ON A NEW TRACK – Donald Patchin, left, and Michael Aupperlee tell the licensing authority April 11 about their plan to reopen the former Mallory Dock on Yarmouth Road in Hyannis as Harry's at the Depot.
License board OKs new operation at old depot
Donald Patchin and Michael Aupperlee hope the blues spirit of the former Harry's in downtown Hyannis will survive the short trip by rail to their Harry's at the Depot on Yarmouth Road.
On April 11, the licensing board granted new food, alcohol and entertainment licenses to Mad Hat DP, which plans to fix up the vacant venue that once housed Mallory Dock. The new operators promise lunch and dinner service seven days a week, and entertainment – mostly blues bands – from four to seven nights.
"It's a great location, away from everything else," Aupperlee told the board. He said he'll be overseeing the renovation of the place to restore its former identity as a train station, and indicated there may even be rail-themed items on the menu.
Plans are in the works to bring more light into the establishment by changes in windows on the first floor.
The police department's liaison to the board, Officer Steve Maher, asked whether the apartment's second floor will continue to be rented, and how residents would cope with the sound from a six-piece band downstairs. Aupperlee said the stage area is in a separate section of the building, not under the apartments, but added that sound insulation would be considered during renovations.
"We seem to be developing a proliferation of nightclubs," licensing authority member Gene Burman observed. "We're pushing the envelope pretty hard."
Aupperlee said the operators are "after a blues crowd, an older crowd, not youngsters by any means. We want it as a blues bar for the enjoyment of all ages."
The license was approved unanimously with seating for 95. Patchin and Aupperlee hope to open their doors by the middle of June.
Junk Dealer License Revoked
The Goldfinger jewelry business in Hyannis had its junk dealer's license revoked by the authority, acting on a police complaint that the business did not follow proper procedure in recording and reporting purchases of precious metals.
BPD Officer Steve Maher made the department's case, in concert with the Sandwich police, who said they had tracked stolen jewelry to the business on Enterprise Road in Hyannis. They alleged that a transaction involving more than $2,000 had not been properly recorded, and that when they had told the proprietors what they were looking for, they were presented with a bag of other jewelry.
Owner-manager Julie Fagin, and her attorney, William Gens of Barnstable, argued that Fagin's husband Steve had been distracted when the sale was being recorded and that the seller or his accomplice had snatched back the jewelry without her husband realizing it. She said the apparent theft was not reported because the Fagins wanted to search their premises thoroughly first, and added that her husband had been taking medications to recover from surgery. She said the second bag of jewelry was put together in an attempt to "make it right" to the original owner of the stolen property.
Julie Fagin told the authority that Goldfinger "produces 95 percent of the jewelry we sell," but had obtained a junk dealer's license last year to help make ends meet in a down market. Out of 500 transactions, she said, only this one was handled inappropriately.
Although they set out to sell their own work and have done so for 22 years in Barnstable, Fagin said, "At this point [due to the economy], the only reason we're in business is buying gold. If our buying license is taken away, we're out of business by Christmas."
That's just what the board did, however, voting unanimously to follow the police department's recommendation for revocation.

OrientDB is a hybrid graph document database that offers the unique flexibility of modeling data in the form of either documents, or graphs, while incorporating object-oriented programming as a way of encapsulating relationships.

5. Gift Baskets
Like decorative tins, gift baskets are another giftwrap option that are great for storage when the holidays are over.
When you picture a gift basket, you probably imagine stuffing the bottom with tissue paper, layering in hoaky food gifts, and wrapping the whole affair with cellophane, but you can make a gift basket that's much more modern than that! Line your basket with pretty fabric and arrange the gift inside. You can leave the whole thing open for a more minimalist look, or obscure the gifts with natural materials like pine cones and branches.
I bet that there are other reusable wrapping ideas that I haven't even thought of yet! What are you doing this year to keep your giftwrap as green as the presents inside?

Since 1991, India has grown by leaps and bounds when it comes to technology. From a time when two or three channels dominated television, we now have hundreds all over. We also have cable. There is satellite. And who can forget the Internet that can now be accessed at your fingertips? But while all these developments have dramatically increased reach, there is one inescapable truth. And that is that content is still king. Whether it is the silver screen or television or the Internet, people only flock over to that which can hold their interest. In fact, paucity of great content is something that has been plaguing the Indian entertainment landscape for years now. To set up a channel in today's times, while still expensive, is relatively much easier than from the pre-liberalization days. But as has been seen, there are so many channels, but not many air great content. Bollywood is another example where the definition of originality is being able to copy without getting caught. In fact, the trend now is to make remakes of hits or even go in for foreign imports and then dub. And when anyone claims to have created something different, most often it is simply a rehash of old concepts with fresh faces and different dialogues. The concept of soap operas came from the West, but it is being beaten to death in India. While there is some great content that is also being created here, the output that comes from the West is undoubtedly superior, not only in terms of originality but also in terms of execution. That is not to say that the West is not guilty of copying. But I feel that it is imperative that we don't adopt a myopic approach and rely on outside concepts when we have so much home grown talent and a rich legacy to fall back upon. But that is only half the story. The other half is in ensuring that this talent gets the right avenues to showcase their creativity in an industry which is otherwise plagued by mediocrity and favouritism.

Keeping Personal Finance Records
One of the most important but sometimes neglected rules of personal finance is keeping records. Records of what? Everything!
It is quite easy to keep records nowadays with the advent of computers (and software programs), but if you are a more old-fashioned kind of guy (or gal), you can always use a small ledger where you can write what you have spent or received. Whatever you use, just be diligent in keeping track of your cash flow.
Record by making a spreadsheet. Information such as earnings (and your partner's), regular expenses (utilities, mortgages), food, car, vacations, and other categories that could cover a financial year. Compute the totals for income and expenditure as you go along.
Don't forget to include bank, savings and credit card accounts and record an initial balance. Find all the cash you have set up a cash account and record your cash total.
Prepare cubbyholes or folders where your receipts will go (label them accordingly as utilities, groceries, miscellaneous, etc.). Keep all your receipts during the month so you can compare them against credit card bills, etc. You can throw receipts and bills out at the end of each month, making sure that you've faithfully recorded them. Don't forget to record every cash transaction, even those which do not have receipts. Record the payee of every check you write in your checkbook.
Invest in a good finance software package that would let you set up your financial records and tally amounts with just once click of the mouse.
The reason for all of these financial recording is that eventually you will be able to budget and predict future spending.

Keep this product out of reach of children
I love this baby product, it smells great and no chemicals used.Kids love it too
This product has nice smell,it is not to hard for the skin.This is the best soap for kids who have sensitive skin.I recommend this product to every kid.
The product is great for babies, very smooth and the scent smell really good. I love this scent on my son's skin! The lavender scent is much milder and coupled with the Baby Magic Lavender Lotion is perfect for my child. He likes use them daily. His skin is moisturized, soft and the mild scent lingers throughout the day.
this is a good product and worth the money
"I have tried almost a dozen natural baby washes and this wins my vote. The scent leaves baby skin smelling delicately of orange sherbet and 'clean'. To my amazement it also leaves even my daughter's long hair soft. This wash isn't as 'sudsy' as I would like, but it leaves skin soft, not sticky like some soaps. Recommended!"

Several years ago, I became horribly addicted to a PC Flash game called Cubis, a fascinating puzzler that involved pushing blocks around an isometric screen in order to match up three or more of the same color, annihilate special star-marked blocks as a priority, and do all this under the pressure of a ticking clock. So it was with some trepidation that I approached FreshGame's Cubis Creatures, a mobile game that throws a few new twists at the original.
Far easier to comprehend in gameplay than it is to explain in words, the premise is nevertheless simple. In each of the game's stages, a set of blocks is laid out in a certain fashion, and your job is to fire the new blocks that are queued up into this pack in order to make collections of the same color, destroying them in the process. If you push a new block onto an existing one that's sitting on its own, that latter block will be pushed forward one square.
To make things even more interesting, wedge-shaped blocks can be used to push blocks up, providing additional planes to work your strategy around. You need to blast away a fixed number of blocks on each level within a ticking time limit in order to finish. If you really want to master each stage, you're going to have to make sure that you don't finish up your work until you've taken out all of the blocks marked with a star. Still with me? Wonderful.
What's Hot
There are a gargantuan number of levels to work your through and FreshGames are promising a steady stream of updates. The game's various mechanics, from stone blocks that can't be moved (only destroyed with laser units that appear in the queue), to wedges that push blocks up, as well as bombs that blast everything to pieces, are all introduced and combined gradually. Part action-puzzler and part strategy game, you will need to play each level many times in order to perfect it.
What's Not
It's a tough difficulty curve if you've never played an entry in the series before, although we recommend persevering as there is a deeply satisfying game to be enjoyed beneath the initially confusing surface. The addition of the bomb mechanics adds a rather unwelcome flavor of uncertainty to what has previously been a consistent strategy game.
The Verdict: Hardened Puzzle Fans Owe it to Themselves to Experience This Game
This version of Cubis is a very welcomed addition to the mobile platform overall, although it represents a challenge that may take a little while to click for newcomers. It also introduces new mechanics which may not be to the taste of fans of the original game.
