"By plane to/from Cork" Top 5 Page for this destination Airlines Tip by Airpunk
Airlines, Cork: 11 reviews and 15 photos
Cork is not as well linked to the rest of Europe as Dublin is. The city does however have useful links to some of Europe's larger airports through which you can connect to the rest of the world. Services include Ryanair routes to London/Stansted and several British and Polish airports. Aer Lingus offers links to some European hubs such as Amsterdam, London/Heathrow, Paris/CDG and Munich as well as some British airports like Bristol or Manchester. The remaining airlines offer mostly summer holiday destinations around the Mediterranean sea.
Bus lines 226 and 249 link Cork airport with the Bus station at Parnell Place with buses running at least every twenty minutes. Singe tickets or adults are available for 4,75 EUR and can be bought at the vending machine in front of th terminal building, close to the bus stop. Save some money with return tickets which are valid for up to a month (all as of 2013). Check the Bus Eirann site for further details. Citylink (http://www.citylink.ie) also has a service to Limerick and Galway running several times per day.

I will soon be embarking on a long trip and want to document everything in a blog. My idea is to have a basic template that includes the title of my location, the blog text, a few photos, and a map of the current location.
I have some examples already here, but I'm not 100% happy with several aspects yet:
I think what I want (although I'm very open to better ideas) is to have one master map with the entire route plotted on it as I go, and then per post be able to specify where to center that map to show that day's location. Each post would be zoomed in to that location (and stay fixed forever) and then the master map (on an "Overview" page) would show the entire route.
I haven't figured out how to do that. I want to avoid making multiple maps if possible, and I don't want a given post's map to move when I update it for the next location. (i.e., If a post is about Rome and I update the master map to be Istanbul I don't want the Rome post map to re-center on Istanbul.)
I've looked at several of the map plugins (mainly Umapper and GeoPress) and I am not sure they do what I want. Before investing more hours trying others I thought I would ask if anyone else has done this or has suggestions?

That Veterinary Paramedic with the Hat May Need a Shave, but He Sure Has a Way with Animals
The assistant, Chosuke, is 7, and a chimpanzee. Uyama got him from a Tokyo pet importer in 1974 and named him after a Japanese comedian with markedly simian features. Three years earlier Uyama had discovered by chance that his animal patients became relaxed when placed in the arms of his pet macaque, a kind of monkey, named Chita.
"Chita also was a good assistant to me," Uyama recalls, "but as he grew old he became increasingly wild." Chosuke has settled into the job much more successfully. He cradles dogs and cats in his arms while they receive injections, takes food to animals in the kennels and even carries Uyama's medical bag on house calls.
Chosuke seems hostile only to the occasional cat, which may hiss at him and then pounce. The chimp turns the other cheek. "There have been almost no fights," Uyama explains, "because Chosuke is a confirmed pacifist. Dogs," Uyama adds, "love him and vice versa." The chimp also gets along well with birds.
Despite some researchers' success in the U.S. in communicating with chimps, Uyama has never tried to teach Chosuke any sign language. "He understands me so perfectly," Uyama, 41, explains, "that there has never been any need for it. He's almost a mind reader."
If he matures with normal chimp characteristics, Chosuke may eventually become too testy to continue comforting Uyama's patients, though for now he is a model worker. His retirement has been taken care of, in any case. He will not be sent back to the African jungle. "Once he gets old," Uyama promises, "Chosuke will remain with me as a companion at home." Adds the grateful vet, "Have I ever had a human assistant as reliable as Chosuke? Never."

Definition of shrapnel in English:
- Soft flesh is no match for mortar shells, rocket-propelled grenade fragments and shrapnel thrown out in all directions by roadside bombs.
- First into battle was Joe, who ran a head-on-head, slightly damaging his shield power from the enemy's explosion throwing shrapnel into it.
- Bombs not only throw off shrapnel themselves, they create lots of deadly flying debris, including flying glass from broken windows, that can kill and maim.
- A belated shrapnel-shot shrieked and burst, and everything grew still.
- British cannon bombarded Nxele's men with shrapnel shell and ensured their rout.
- Shrapnel shell was unsuited to the disablement of aeroplanes.
Early 19th century: named after General Henry Shrapnel (1761–1842), the British soldier who invented the shell; the sense 'fragments of a bomb or shell' originated during World War I.
During the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal (1808–14), General Henry Shrapnel invented a shell that contained bullets and a small bursting charge, which, when fired by the time fuse, burst the shell and scattered the bullets in a shower. Those firing the projectile gave it the name Shrapnel shell—the bullets were Shrapnel shot, or simply shrapnel. During the Second World War shrapnel acquired its modern sense, 'fragments of a bomb, shell, or other object thrown out by an explosion'. The sense 'coins, loose change' started life as New Zealand military slang around the time of the First World War.

The High-Beta Rich: How the Manic Wealthy Will Take Us to the Next Boom, Bubble, and Bustby Robert Frank
View All Available Formats & Editions

high-beta rich (hi be'ta rich) 1. a newly discovered personality type of the America upper class prone to wild swings in wealth. 2. the winners (and occasional losers) in an economy that creates wealth from financial markets, asset bubbles and deals. 3. derived from the Wall Street term "high-beta," meaning highly volatile or prone to booms and busts. 4. an elite that's capable of wreaking havoc on communities, jobs, government finances, and the consumer economy. 5. a new Potemkin plutocracy that hides a mountain of debt behind the image of success, and is one crisis away from losing their mansions, private jets and yachts.
The rich are not only getting richer, they are becoming more dangerous. Starting in the early 1980s the top one percent broke away from the rest of us to become the most unstable force in the economy. An elite that had once been the flat line on the American income charts - models of financial propriety - suddenly set off on a wild ride of economic binges.
Not only do they control more than a third of the country's wealth, their increasing vulnerability to the booms and busts of the stock market wreak havoc on our consumer economy, financial markets, communities, employment opportunities, and government finances.
Robert Frank's insightful analysis provides the disturbing big picture of high-beta wealth. His vivid storytelling brings you inside the mortgaged mansions, blown-up balance sheets, repossessed Bentleys and Gulfstreams, and wrecked lives and relationships:
• How one couple frittered away a fortune trying to build America's biggest house —90,000 square feet with 23 full bathrooms, a 6,000 square foot master suite with a bed on a rotating platform—only to be forced to put it on the market because "we really need the money".
• Repo men who are now the scavengers of the wealthy, picking up private jets, helicopters, yachts and racehorses – the shiny remains of a decade of conspicuous consumption financed with debt, asset bubbles, "liquidity events," and soaring stock prices.
• How "big money ruins everything" for communities such as Aspen, Colorado whose over-reliance on the rich created a stratified social scene of velvet ropes and A-lists and crises in employment opportunities, housing, and tax revenues.
• Why California's worst budget crisis in history is due in large part to reliance on the volatile incomes of the state's tech tycoons.
• The bitter divorce of a couple who just a few years ago made the Forbes 400 list of the richest people, the firing of their enormous household staff of 110, and how one former spouse learned the marvels of shopping at Marshalls, filling your own gas tank, and flying commercial.
Robert Frank's stories and analysis brilliantly show that the emergence of the high-beta rich is not just a high-class problem for the rich. High-beta wealth has national consequences: America's dependence on the rich + great volatility among the rich = a more volatile America.
Cycles of wealth are now much faster and more extreme. The rich are a new "Potemkin Plutocracy" and the important lessons and consequences are brought to light of day in this engrossing book.

This book is a sequel to Robert Franks 'Richistan' updating the life of some of the well-heeled people we met in that book. It interesting to see how they are now after losing millions of dollars in the financial collaspe and Frank still has that great journilistic prose style that puts the reader front and center in a world that he will probably never know but this book is a little too academic. He uses a couple of charts to illistrate his point and is very liberal in his use of percentages to place the well-heeled into their poper context in society - There's alot of '20% of the top 1% accounted for 34% of the nations consummer economy during through the years 2004-2007' and the like- meaning that his writing didn't move as fluidly as in 'Ricistan'. But it's all very interesting stuff and Frank does cover the full gamet of the modern gilded society even spending time with a man who reposses private jets - Yeah, they do exist. IT certainly well worth the read especially if you've read Richistan if you haven't read the first book than buy them both to get a full picture of life is like up in the lofty world of the uber-rich.

The condos at Villas Tranquilas have an open feel with a kitchen set up for entertaining. We went to the local market and cooked a feast! Maria was the perfect advisor for the best tours and restaurants in the area. Her attentiveness and expertise helped us have a wonderful vacation as we explored the area. Maria booked a Catamaran tour for us... we saw a mother and baby whale! Diego and the security guards were also so helpful with any questions we had. Not only is the property beautiful and the staff amazing, the wildlife is plentiful! It was so much fun to see the monkeys and sloth. I would recommend Villas Tranquilas to anyone visiting the area!

Old 97's On Mountain Stage
Old 97's On Mountain Stage
Set List
- "The Grand Theatre"
- "Won't Be Home"
- "Champaign, Illinois"
- "Barrier Reef"
- "You Were Born To Be In Battle"
- "Every Night Is Friday Night"
- "Please Hold On While the Train Is Moving"
- "Overjoyed"
The songs from Old 97's eighth studio album, The Grand Theater, Volume One, find their origin in a week-long residency the band took up at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas, Texas. After trying out new material in a simulated concert environment, the band took its favorite tunes back to an Austin studio for recording. A second collection, Volume Two, is due out later this year.
From its humble beginnings as a Dallas bar band, Old 97's became a pioneer of the alternative country movement in the 1990s. For singer Rhett Miller, bassist Murray Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea and drummer Phillip Peeples, this was their first visit to Mountain Stage as a group, and the second for Miller, who first appeared on the show in 2006 in support of his solo album, The Believer.
Mountain Stage pianist Bob Thompson rounds out this segment with his rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed."
This segment originally aired on March 31, 2011.

From an elegant prom or formal with a hint of adventure to a cheery birthday party for children, party-goers of all ages will go wild over a celebration planned with jungle party decorations from Shindigz. For large events, our jungle theme decorating kits give you a great start. They include major elements you need to create entrance arches or photo drops, and at discounted prices compared to buying the items separately. Our selection includes the slightly humorous Set the Stage Safari Party kit and the oh-so elegant Enchanted Amazon package. For either, auditor ambiance is a must. Sound chips are the latest trend in taking your jungle theme party to the next level. You'll find monkey screeches, lion roars and rushing water sounds that fit fantastically at any jungle or safari theme party.
For children, Shindigz has a variety of ways to make jungle party decorations fun and memorable. Safari theme party balloons are a must, and with a Mylar giraffe and zebra that stand more than two feet tall, they're big enough to decorate the cake table. A variety of other cheery animals – monkeys, parrots and lions – are fantastic focal points for balloon bouquets. They're also great favors that guests will love leaving with. Zoo animal masks are another great favor, whether you buy them or let guests create their own during the party. Set the table with our personalized Jungle Buddies pattern. Giraffe or zebra print tableware is a great look for a jungle party for children or adults. Buy a party pack with settings for eight to save even more money.

Summary of Decision:
Brian E. Rich ("Applicant") proposed alterations to the corner entranceway of his home, a contributing building to the Georgetown Historic District. Applicant sought a permit to build an eight-inch masonry retaining wall at the edge of existing planters, install new planter boxes and an entry patio, and also to install a new door(s) plus new windows on three levels. Before seeking and obtaining approval, Applicant began and completed a portion of the alterations. (A building permit had been issued for the new door(s) and new windows.) Applicant claimed that the proposed changes were consistent with the purposes of the Act, and would be compatible with and enhance the property and the character of the historic district. Applicant failed to attend the hearing and put forth a case to sustain his burden that the alterations were necessary in the public interest. The Mayor's Agent denied the application for planter boxes and entry patio because Applicant failed to demonstrate that the alterations were consistent with the purposes of the Act. The Mayor's Agent granted the application for the window and door alteration to the extent those alterations would be in full compliance with the approved plans, building permit, and directives of the D.C. Historic Preservation Office (the "HPO"), but denied the application with respect to the masonry retaining wall, new planters and patio. The Mayor's Agent further required that additional changes to the front entrance of the property could not be made without the approval of the Commission of Fine Arts (the "CFA") or the HPO.
Mayor's Agent - Procedural:
Consistent with the Purposes of the Act:
The Mayor's Agent concluded that Applicant did not prove that the alteration of the entranceway to the residence was consistent with the purposes of the Act because Applicant he did not cite any legal authority for his position and did not put his legal position on the record. Additionally, the Mayor's Agent would not condone Applicant's "pattern of noncompliance," whereby he completed work both in non-conformance with the building permit granted for a portion of the alterations and without a permit for the balance of the alterations (and all without prior CFA or HPO approval), and did not appear for the hearing.
Findings were made that Applicant's alterations to the entrance walkway and planting beds infringed on public space and were not appropriate for such a historical structure with a corner entrance. While the flower beds already existed on Applicant's property, Applicant sought to extend them, including a two- or three-course brick perimeter that would encroach on public space. Further, Applicant's additional alterations would compromise the chamfered entrance characteristic of many properties in the Georgetown Historic District. Chamfered entrances are designed to be "welcoming" and "inviting," and Applicant's efforts would have "eliminated or reduced" such an appearance.
Applicant installed a fixed window on the second floor of the residence, contrary to approved plans submitted in connection with the issued building permit, which required a double hung window and sash. The Mayor's Agent directed Applicant to work closely with the HPO staff to ensure that the "selected windows were compatible with the windows... currently in place, and likewise compatible with the window installation requirement[s] that are operable in the Georgetown Historic District."

I am using a child theme of twenty-eleven, with seven plugins: Askimet, Breadcrumb NavXT, Easy Recipe, Google XML Sitemaps, Jetpack, Online Backup, Shareaholic.
There are three problems.
1) When I click "share" for Facebook, or if I cut and paste the URL and post to Facebook, the link is posted, with no photo. I'm posting crafts now, the link without a photo is virtually useless.
2) When I post an image to Pinterest from the Shareaholic link, it is not linking back to my blog, there is an error message.
3) I'd like comments to show up at the bottom of every post, but people have to click on the speech bubble at the top of the post, and not everyone knows to do this. I've seen other WP blogs where comments and the comment box show up at the bottom of each post.
Not sure if these are a theme problems, plugin problems or something else. Any ideas? I've tried disabling Shareaholic, maybe Jetpack is interfering, I've never had any of it work for me.
My latest blog post:
Thank you. Theresa

@ BigFish. The Axis doesn't come with the Accutrigger which is one of the features that helped Savage reach the place they are now.

Question for those of you recommending Savage... I just got my Cabela's flyer and they have Savage Axis bolt action rifles in everything from .223 to .30-06 on sale for $349. Any idea on the accuracy and reliability on these and why do they seem so much cheaper than anything else new out there?

"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to George Washington, 1796. ME 9:341
you wont get a recomendation for savage from me but then again u get what u pay for
I have a savage 110 in 270 caliber and it is a flat shooting accurate rifle. Savage will do you for a lifetime. Trick is get a good scope.
I know the original post was for the best value. But to me I wanted something I could hit a nat out to 1000 yds. (Just kidding about the nat. ;) One of the best bolt action rifles come from GA Precision. Mine is a .308 Remington with the action, bolt, head space all trued up. Snider heavy barrel with crown. It's bedded in a McMillan stock, Night Force scope. NO...........it's not used for defense, but for precision shooting competition. I don't hunt any more because animals can't shoot back, so it's not fair. oh by th way, that's me taking a nap.
For $600 bucks a Remington 700 SPS Tactical 308 with a 20" bull barrel is hard to beat..
Yeah, that's a nice bolt gun. I have a 700 and a Barrett 98b. The 700 is a 308 that's just waiting to be tuned up, but I never really get around to it. One of these days... Or I'll just buy an AI.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
Lanner, how accurate is your saiga?
Also I was wondering, would there be any advantage to doing a true AK conversion to a sagia in .308? If your main use is long range shooting, I would think the standard non-AK stock and no pistol grip might actually be better for accuracy.
Someday when I win the lottery I may buy a saiga in .308.
Thompson Ctr Arms makes one of the finest bolt action in any caliber you could ever hope to have..I own the Thompson Encore in .308 win....
this thing is just awesome to shoot.....no kidding....I've fired it quite a few times since I got it and as a pistol with a 15" barrel...it's awesomely fun to shoot!!!....
VENTURE - Thompson/Center
Well, since this ol' thread has been resurrected, I'll mention that I just ordered an FNAR. All the reviews I've seen on it were great, and I've handled them several times in stores. Didn't really need it, but I've wanted one for a long time. Should be here by sometime next week, and I'm excited!

Ok, read and digest the entire article then respond please. My reaction is that the writer is on target but does not consider the alternative. Assume either Hillary or Bernie is the Democrat nominee, Would the country be better off with either of them or Trump in the WH?
I posit that Trump will be the better choice because he at least will make the attempt to negotiate a reduction in the budget, cut back on the amnesty programs and protect our borders.
Consider Reagan a bit more than the author, He came into office with what many considered to be radical ideas they didn't like, but everyone knew one overriding character trait about him -- He was a true Patriotic believer in America. He turned out to be too compromising (at least from my perspective) on domestic policies and destroyed entire business segments with is 1986 tax code revamp, but we all still knew he had the best of American values at heart. I see Trump in a similar fashion. He has the best of American values as his overriding influence and that is well and above the value system espoused by either Hillary or Bernie.
Head to head, I'll push the lever for Trump over either of the Democrats every chance I get.

'The Walking Dead' to Receive Family-Friendly Makeover
Those rotting, walking corpses aren't really corpses -- they're just really sick.
Those rotting, walking corpses aren't really corpses -- they're just really sick.
Sunday's latest 'Walking Dead' season 4 installment "The Grove" proved especially difficult to bear, but things may only get worse in the final two episodes of the season. The first sneak peek of penultimate season 4 episode "Us" has arrived, returning the focus to Glenn, Abraham and his cohorts on the road to Terminus, but what does the mustachioed muscleman have to say about Tara's continued involvement with the group?
This past Sunday's latest 'Walking Dead' installment, "Alone," kept to Daryl, Beth, Bob and his companions, but the landmark events of previous episode "Inmates" left us wondering what Tyreese might do with his feminine companions, half of which have more killer instincts than he realizes. Find out in the first sneak peek of next week's latest 'Walking Dead' season 4 episode, "The Grove."
This past Sunday's 'Walking Dead' installment "Claimed" put Rick through the ringer with a home invasion, while Carl and Michonne traded secrets, but what will this Sunday's "Still" reveal about Daryl and Beth's post-prison adventures that we hadn't learned from "Inmates?" See for yourself in the latest photos and clip from 'The Walking Dead' if either Daryl or Beth will make it through the week!
Last night's all-new 'Walking Dead' installment, "Claimed," brought us the shocking truth behind Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Eugene's (Josh McDermitt) mission to Washington, but how much stock can we really put in their claims? Series star McDermitt weighs in on Eugene's shifty behavior, as rumblings suggest we may not have seen the last of Rick's home invasion crew.
Earlier this week 'The Walking Dead' afforded us an exclusive sneak peek at one of the new characters introduced in the closing moments of last week's "Inmates," but the story is far from over. This Sunday's "Claimed" will see more of the three mysterious figures revealed, while Michonne, Carl and Rick make the best of their new situation, and we've got the full compliment of photos and sneak peeks!
Sunday's latest 'Walking Dead' installment, "Inmates," capped off with the long-awaited arrival of comic characters (though they weren't named in the episode) Abraham Ford, Rosita Espinosa and Eugene Porter. This coming weekend's all-new episode, "Claimed," will shed a bit of light on the three major arrivals, as well as their mission, and we've got an exclusive first look at 'Twilight' star Christian Serratos' lovely Rosita in action!
'The Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman has conquered the small screen with the AMC adaptation of his comic book, and now he's looking to bring his talents to the big screen as he's set up to make 'Air,' a film he'll produce and which will star Djimon Hounsou, and 'TWD' regular Norman Reedus.
This past Sunday's latest 'The Walking Dead' installment, "Inmates," brought a surprising amount of clarity to any burning questions about the back half of season 4, leaving even more uncertainty about next week's episode, "Claimed." The first official clip of the hour shows Rick and Michonne returning at odds, but what else might we learn from the latest installment of AMC's monster-drama?
AMC brought all our hopes and dreams to life with 'The Walking Dead' season 4's return this past Sunday, but what happens "After" Rick, Carl and Michonne were reunited? Check out what prison survivors we'll next catch up with when this coming Sunday's all-new installment "Inmates" shambles out, with a brand new clip and photos of the hour to preview!

Preston, 59, was arrested and charged with Ms Fan's murder
yesterday. He was also charged with breach of a protection
order in relation to the fatal November attack.
He appeared in the Wellington District Court before Judge
Kevin Glubb today.
Ms Fan, who has two children with Mr Preston, was found
stabbed to death in her Miramar home by concerned friends,
two days after she died.
Police believe her killer had been wearing a disguise, and
could have left in different clothes to what he entered her
Brussels St home in on November 8.
Ms Fan and Preston's children are aged 8 and 9.
Last night, Ms Fan's boyfriend at the time of her death Tani
Hoyhtya, told the Herald from Vietnam news of an arrest had
come as a relief.
"It's happy news, I've been waiting for so long."
Mr Hoyhtya, who works for the United Nations, had decided to
propose to Ms Fan and move to New Zealand to start a family
with her.
Relocating in September would now be bitter-sweet, he said.
Police said this morning in a statement the investigation
into Ms Fan's death had been complex and involved many
"Our motivation throughout has been to bring justice for Mei
and her children and they have remained at the forefront of
investigator's minds."
"The past five months have been a very difficult time for the
family and the Operation Brussels team is pleased to have
reached this milestone in the investigation."

Tim Foley, of Auckland, and fellow former pupil Josh Webb, of
New York, started the Facebook group ''St Leonards Alumni and
Friends'' to organise an auction to raise funds for the
school and community following the deaths of Bradley (9) and
Ellen (6) Livingstone last Wednesday.
The children were shot and killed by their father, Edward
Livingstone, before he killed himself in the St Leonards home
the children shared with their mother, Mr Livingstone's
estranged wife, Katharine Webb.
Mr Foley said the group, which had about 50 members, hoped to
stage the auction in about two to four weeks. He hoped the
funds raised could be used to help the school community heal.
Among the confirmed auction items were a walk-on role in
Shortland Street and donated artwork.
St Leonards School principal Jo Wilson said support from the
community and former pupils had been ''overwhelming . .
.which is just brilliant''.
School staff last week opened a bank account for donations to
be made to Ms Webb and Mrs Wilson said about $3000 had been
deposited into the account by yesterday afternoon.
The school would be open again todayfrom 10am for any pupils
or parents who wanted to ''touch base''. A counsellor would
visit the school today to speak to staff and assess the needs
of the pupils. A separate counsellor would be helping staff.
Dunedin Clutha area commander Inspector Greg Sparrow said
yesterday the investigation into the deaths was continuing
and ''there is still a significant number of inquiries to
The scene examination finished on Saturday.
Another Facebook page called ''RIP Bradley and Ellen
Livingstone'' had received more than 4200 likes by late
yesterday. Dozens of comments in support of Ms Webb and the
children's family had been posted.
The Dunedin Orienteering Club - of which Bradley and Ellen
were members - paid tribute to the children with a message on
its website.
''They made a wonderful contribution to the energy and life
of our club.''
The children's funerals will be held at St Leonards School on

We found Nick's Cove after checking out a few other choices in the area and decided to eat there because we liked the vibe. Am I glad we did! From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel like old friends. And the food was delicious! Freshness and presentation are first rate! And, no matter where you sit, there's a glorious view of Tomales Bay. The decor is nice without being too funky or too precious. Will definitely be back again next time I go to west Marin!

"Singer-songwriter, Wayne Francis has just issued a retrospective collection of his songwriting, spanning his 5 independent albums. It includes 22 tracks which have garnered the most positive responses, as well as personal favourites. Highlights include "Talking With The Angels" and "A Ways To Go" which were covered in 2006, receiving much radio play and positive critical attention in western Pennsylvania. Also the environmentally themed Calm Within The Storm; children's song Feline Way; social commentary of Market Square and the plaintive longing in Wings Of A Dream. The songs in this collection are a career summation of sorts up to this point, but Wayne continues looking forward with renewed energy with other projects on the horizon. Wayne has been performing songs from this album and many more in the Charlottetown area over this past summer, with more dates already booked for the fall."

Thirty-eight year old Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, feels like she has lost everything known and dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra's life upside down and ends up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace Rutherford the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century as well as a cliff-top cottage on the other side of the world, Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell, on a quest to find out the truth about their history, their family and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself.

North Korea Kim Jong-Un uncle's identity erased
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 17, 2013
AFTER Kim Jong-Un executed his uncle, the state's news outlets have now erased tens of thousands of articles about him - as if he never existed.
Like a scene from a Hollywood movie, about 35,000 articles have disappeared from the website of the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), as well as 65,000 articles in Spanish, English, Chinese and Japanese, according to Frank Feinstein, an analyst who tracks the North's online media for Seoul-based website NK News.
About 20,000 articles were also removed from the archives of the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of North Korea's Workers' Party, it said.
Currently, the digital record of state-approved news only reaches back to October 2013 on KCNA's website.
It was not clear if the deletion was permanent, but the move followed the purge and execution last week of Kim's uncle and one-time political mentor, Jang Song-Thaek.
The South's Yonhap news agency had previously reported that Jang was edited out of a re-run of a documentary film aired on the North's main television channel.
"This is a calculated thing they've done," Feinstein told NK News. "Across all sites, it means the order most likely came from above each individual agency," he said, Another unnamed expert who follows North Korean media output told NK News that the move adds "extra noise to the cacophony of confusion related to North Korea these days."
"My initial reaction is one of shock at the extremity of such an action, but it is clear it was a carefully made decision," the expert said.
She suggested it may have been an effort to rewrite history and secure Kim as the new leader, or simply the result of efforts to delete articles relating to Jang Song-Thaek.
"Likely, it's a combination of reasons that led to this, but as with many North Korean actions, this only leaves me with more questions," she said.
the North Korean dictator presided over a mass gathering of military and party officials today that was broadcast live on state television at a time of growing concern over the stability of his hard line regime.
The ceremony in central Pyongyang, marking the second death anniversary of Kim's father and former leader Kim Jong-Il, included a number of speeches that stressed unquestioning loyalty to the young supremo and included a stark warning to rival South Korea.
State television showed the massed ranks of tens of thousands of military and party officials sitting stony-faced in pin-drop silence for several minutes, before rising to greet Kim Jong-Un with thunderous applause as he arrived to take his place on the leadership podium.
"We should be warriors to safeguard the party centre with our lives ... with the conviction that we know no one but the great comrade Kim Jong-Un," North Korea's ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong-Nam, said in an opening address.
He added that the country had made "great strides" in the two years since Kim took over the reins of power after his father's death.
Under Kim's leadership, North Korea has successfully placed a satellite in orbit and in February this year conducted its third - and most powerful - nuclear test.
"By holding the respected comrade Kim Jong-Un in high esteem ... our country will prosper as the country of eternal sun," Kim Yong-Nam said.
Tuesday's mass meeting also heard a keynote address by top military leader Choe Ryong-Hae - who some analysts believe had a hand in the ouster and execution of Jang Song-Thaek.
"Our revolutionary forces know ... no one but comrade Kim Jong-Un," said Choe, a close Kim Jong-Un confidant who holds the military rank of vice marshal and is director of the Korean People's Army's General Political Department The military will support "our supreme commander, under any storms and hardships", said Choe, who also fired off a warning at rival South Korea.
"If the enemies drop a single drop of fire on our motherland, our soldiers will immediately storm out to wipe out all the invaders and achieve unification," he said.

Looks a bit tired but it is a really good place to stay. Almost everything just as it should be. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Perfect location for walking everywhere but far enough for peace and quiet. Yoga outside in the evening. We were given tickets for wine tasting, got tree half hour after it started - nothing left. New Year's Eve party was horrendous although some did seem to enjoy it. I don't like buffets and didn't come close to changing my mind.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

|Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden on D&C: Penguins tired of Matt Cooke's act
|06.07.13 at 11:14 am ET
Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden, who earned the enmity of Bruins fans earlier in the week when he insisted that Tuukka Rask is a mediocre goalie, joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday morning and was asked if his opinion has changed now that the Bruins have a 3-0 series lead.
"God knows, he's had trouble winning the fourth game in the past, so I'd rather reserve judgment," Madden said of Rask. "He's played very well, the goalposts have done very well, too.
"But to me, the story of this series has been [David] Krejci and the job Claude Julien has done outcoaching Dan Bylsma," Madden continued. "Bylsma did a better job in the third game, but he waited 120 minutes to make adjustments he should have been making after 40. Whereas Claude Julien has been one step ahead all the time. He's coached an excellent series. Gutsy lineup change yanking [Matt] Bartkowski and putting [Andrew] Ference back in, but Ference has played very well. Those are the guys I give primary credit to.
"The Penguins just have not had an answer for David Krejci. He plays such a quiet game, but I mean that in a good way. Before you know it he's open, a split-second after that it's in the net. He's just been amazing."
Sidney Crosby remains pointless in this series, and while Patrice Bergeron is getting some credit for helping to keep Crosby quiet, Madden said the blame falls squarely on the Penguins.
"I think Crosby's played a bigger role in Crosby's disappearance," Madden said. "I've got to be honest, the Penguins as a team have not handled adversity well, which is a disturbing pattern in the last four playoff years. I thought that the stars played a bit better for the Penguins in Game 3. But still, a loss is a loss, there's no moral victories. And Crosby, [Evgeni] Malkin and [Kris] Letang have no points between them and are a combined minus-12. Like Mario Lemieux always used to say, 'When you make the most money, you've got to do the most.' And those guys make the most money."
Matt Cooke, already reviled in Boston, has not earned any new friends with his chippy play in this series. Madden said he expects Cooke to be playing elsewhere next season.
Said Madden: "Matt Cooke is perceived by a lot of people — and I bought into it at first — into having a good playoffs because he's [doing] a good job on the penalty kill and he's been a good forechecker. But he has zero goals in the playoffs. How can any forward on the top three lines be perceived to be having a good playoffs if he has zero goals? Plus, he's taken a ton of penalties. The Penguins will be well rid of Matt Cooke. That's not to say he won't help another team. But they're just tired of his act. That's in the locker room, too. '¦ Guys are just tired of having to clean up his messes."
|David Krejci: 'We've got to stay in the moment'
|06.04.13 at 8:06 pm ET
BEDFORD — No one has had a better or bigger impact on the Bruins in these playoffs than David Krejci. The center on the Bruins' top line leads the NHL in playoff scoring this season.
He has eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points. He did it again on Monday night in Game 2 with the third goal of the contest. He knows full well that a 2-0 series lead means nothing. He also led the playoffs in scoring two years ago with 23 points.
Speaking of 2011, he knows that the Bruins were down 0-2 in the first round after losing the first two games at home. He knows the Bruins came back and won a pair of games in Montreal to tie the series.
"The past few years I think we've been up 2-0 in a series," Krejci said. "We've been down 2-0, and it went either way, so I think we've learned from that and we've got to stay in the moment and just take it game by game.
"We're going to have to play even better than we did because they're going to be desperate. It's a really important game. It's a big difference if it's 3-0 for us or 2-1 for us, so it's going to be a big game. The game is going to start from 0-0 so we've got to be ready to get off [with] a good start."
So far, the best forward in this series is Krejci, not Sidney Crosby, and it's not close. Krejci has three goals with a plus-3 rating. Crosby has no points and is a minus-3.
"We're just going on the faceoff and trying to win," Krejci said. "It doesn't matter who you go against [in faceoffs]. Obviously you know who you're going against, but your mindset is to win and do whatever it takes to win the faceoff."
|David Krejci: 'We don't have guys like [Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin], we have a team'
|06.02.13 at 12:25 am ET
The question was innocent enough. After scoring two more playoff goals in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Pittsburgh Saturday, David Krejci was asked if he considers himself in the same class as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
"No. Those guys, I think they're the best players in the world at this moment," he answered after Saturday's 3-0 Bruins' win in Game 1. "There's no one like those guys. On the other hand, we don't have guys like that. We have a team. We all play as a team."
Krejci, with seven goals and 12 assists, now leads all scorers in the Stanley Cup playoffs with 19 points. In yet another parallel with 2011, when the Bruins won it all, Krejci is leading the way. That year, Krejci had 12 goals and 11 assists in leading the Bruins to the Cup. The next three leading scorers in the playoffs are Penguins in Malkin (16 points), Kris Letang (16) and Crosby (15) and then another Bruin and Krejci line-mate in Nathan Horton, who scored the third and final goal of the night, and also has 15 points in the playoffs.
"I think Nathan played really well today," Krejci said. "He set me up for my two goals. He scored a big one in the third. [Tuukka Rask] played pretty good, as well. I think it was pretty good effort by all the guys and a big win."
Krejci was asked after his second goal that made it 2-0 whether it felt like the Bruins were playing with house money.
"I think so," Krejci said. "You know, I think Tookes made some big saves in the third period. You know, that's not our hockey, playing up and down. We want to play good defensively and play in their zone. They're a good team, so it's tough to do that. But the second goal was pretty big for our team. I think right after that we took over and kind of controlled the game from there."
|Bruins Friday practice notes: David Krejci returns, all accounted for
|05.31.13 at 11:05 am ET
WILMINGTON — David Krejci returned Friday morning from his "minimal maintenance" day on Thursday, as Claude Julien termed it. The Bruins skated for just about an hour before packing up at Ristuccia Arena and leaving immediately for Pittsburgh and Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Saturday night at the Consol Energy Center. All Bruins were on the ice and accounted for as the team worked out in Wilmington for a fourth straight day.
After working almost exclusively on power-play and penalty-kill drills on Thursday, the Bruins returned to a more conventional practice on Friday.
The lines remained the same, but of note on the defensive pairing side, Zdeno Chara was paired with Johnny Boychuk while Dennis Seidenberg was teamed with Matt Bartkowski. Andrew Ference was still working with Aaron Johnson, an indication that Ference likely won't be activated for Saturday's game.
Adam McQuaid was with Torey Krug while Wade Redden was skating with Dougie Hamilton.
Another significant sign was the amount of drills in the corners as the coaching staff had the top four lines work on winning puck battles in the corners, an area that several players and Julien have said will be key if the Bruins are to have a chance of winning the series.

|Bruins Thursday notes: 'Minimal maintenance' day for David Krejci
|05.30.13 at 1:28 pm ET
WILMINGTON — David Krejci was not on the ice on Thursday but coach Claude Julien said it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Maintenance, minimal maintenance," the Bruins coach said as Krejci was given the day off.
Krejci was the only player not spotted on the sheet at Ristuccia Arena as the Bruins worked at a fast pace for 20 minutes with their power play and penalty kill units.
Andrew Ference, one of the team's leading penalty killers, was back on the ice again and was paired with Aaron Johnson on one penalty kill unit. Julien said toward the end of his media briefing after practice that Ference has not yet been medically cleared by team doctors to play in games.
"I haven't heard from the medical staff so I'd say the answer is 'no,'" Julien said when asked about Ference's medical standing as the defenseman attempts to come back from a left foot injury that sidelined him since Game 5 of the first-round series against Toronto.
Tyler Seguin took Krejci's spot on the power play with Zdeno Chara, Jaromir Jagr, Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic but the units were mixed and matched throughout practice as the team worked more on power play and penalty kill drills than concentrating on specific special teams combinations.
The Bruins will practice one final time on Friday morning at 10:30 at Ristuccia before taking off for Pittsburgh afterward. The Bruins play the Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Saturday night at 8 p.m. at the Consol Energy Center.

|Bruins notes from Friday: Up-tempo practice as Dennis Seidenberg, Wade Redden pick it up
|05.24.13 at 5:43 pm ET
The Bruins took to the TD Garden ice for a 30-minute up-tempo, intense practice after coach Claude Julien and players admitted that their effort was there on Thursday night but not their execution.
Friday was an effort, even after a tough overtime loss, to pick up the intensity level for Saturday afternoon's 5:30 start against the Rangers, with yet another chance to close out the series in Game 5.
"It was just a good flow, good practice," David Krejci said. "Hard and short. We don't know what's going to happen [Saturday] morning but it's kind of an odd time for the game, 5:30. We're just taking it day-by-day and we felt that, and the coaches felt the same way, that we needed to go out there for a short, hard practice. And we did that. Now, we're just going to focus on [Saturday]."
Krejci wasn't overly critical of his teammates and their well-documented mistakes in Game 4 that caused them to blow a 2-0 lead and lose the game in overtime.
"It was an OK game," he said. "There were chances on both sides but the game is behind us now. They won in OT. [Saturday] is a new game and we're going to do everything we can to get over it."
All Bruins were accounted for except defenseman Andrew Ference, out with a lower body injury. Dennis Seidenberg (lower body) and Wade Redden (unspecified) skated together as a D-pair Friday and have been skating all week with the team. There's a sense that Seidenberg could return on Saturday in place of Dougie Hamilton or Matt Bartkowski. Seidenberg hasn't played since injuring himself on the second shift of Game 7 against Toronto on May 13.
"I felt comfortable out there today," Seidenberg said. "But again it's a decision where I have to talk to them first. We'll see. They're going to ask me a couple of a questions and go from there.
Seidenberg said he is itching to get back on the ice.
"Really bad," Seidenberg said of his desire to return. "No one likes watching hockey games, especially around this time of year, so hopefully I get back in there soon, and hopefully can help."
Seidenberg watched from upstairs Thursday night as the Bruins failed to close out Game 4.
"We know we played a good game," Seidenberg said. "A couple of hiccups there but for the most part, we put a lot of pucks on the nets, had quite a few chances, especially on the power play so we know we could've won it. We just have to stick in the moment and try to win the next one.
"Every game we want to finish with the win, especially being up 3-1, it would be nice to finish it off but again, we have to play a good game first because they have the momentum now."
|Claude Julien on Game 3: 'It's what we expect from ourselves' that matters
|05.21.13 at 10:15 am ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien is convinced that the outcome of Game 3 won't hinge on the desperation of the Rangers as much as it will from the execution of his own team.
The Rangers are in the same 0-2 hole heading into tonight's Game 3 at Madison Square Garden that they were in the first round against the Capitals, while the Bruins find themselves two wins away from a trip to the Eastern Conference finals.
"Doesn't matter, I think it's what we expect from ourselves," Julien said. "That's the thing, we always worry about the other team; we need to worry about ourselves. When we play well, we're a good team and we give ourselves a chance to win. It's more about our expectations right now, that has to be the important topic for us. We need to, obviously, understand they're going to be better; we also need to be better. We're on the road, we don't get the last change, so it will be a tougher situation."
One thing the Bruins know they must cut down is the number of turnovers. They committed 16 on Sunday in Game 2, and two of them led to New York's only two goals of the game. The Rangers committed just one, and still the Bruins dominated in a 5-2 win.
"Oh, I think it was us," Julien said when asked if the turnovers were self-inflicted. "When you look at some of those turnovers, David Krejci, just inside the blue line, turns around and it's intercepted; you could see it coming from the bench. You could see the passes from our end on their sticks. A lot of that stuff was of our own doing. I think we can be better in that area, although we played a pretty game, I think most of those things came in the second period. We just have to be a little bit better. I thought our third period was much better in regards to puck management."
Krejci had a team-leading three giveaways while four others had two. Brad Marchand had only one but it led to New York's first goal, an end-to-end rush by Ryan Callahan.
"I thought our transition game has been better," Julien said. "Obviously, the young guys have been doing that, but so have our veterans that were in our the lineup the last couple of games. That's been pretty consistent from our back end, so that's helped a lot. Those guys are part of that group; they seem to have enough poise to make the right plays, so it's helped our game a lot."

'Regionalization' at Sutter Coast must wait for arbitration efforts
Contentious decisions about the future of Del Norte County's only hospital won't be made until a dispute is resolved between the private corporation that operates it and the public entity that used to, according to a long-awaited judgment from Del Norte County's Superior Court on Wednesday.
Visiting Judge Leonard LaCasse ruled to keep in place a hospital Board of Directors comprised mostly of area residents, keeping alive the county Health Care District's case against Sutter Health and Sutter Coast Hospital.
LaCasse's decision also stays Sutter Health from applying for Critical Access Hospital designation, a federal program that some fear would follow if the hospital is "regionalized" and a non-local Board of Directors is in charge. The designation would shrink medical services in order to guarantee cost-based reimbursement for Medicare patients.
"I want it carefully limited," the judge stipulated of the to-be-drafted order, "I want Sutter to be able to do feasibility studies, anticipatory work ... I'm only here to preserve the status quo until there's a final determination."
While the district got what it was seeking, so in part did Sutter Health. A motion to have the case moved out of the court system and into arbitration prevailed, meaning that what the judge described as "a matter of immense public concern" will proceed with representatives of the two sides behind closed doors in Sacramento, to be mediated by the American Arbitration Association.
More than 40 people packed the courtroom Wednesday, mostly seniors who've rallied against regionalization at the urging of local doctors. Hospital governance and what it means for patients has been extensively argued in the court of public opinion over the last year: at two protests in front of the hospital, town hall meetings, in local government's chambers and in scores of letters to the editor.
LaCasse opened the formal hearing by describing the court's limited power in settling the dispute, which raises big questions about the impact of hospital chain consolidation, nationwide and particularly in Northern California, where Sutter Health's dominant market share and high consumer prices are currently the subject of an anti-trust investigation by the state Attorney General's Office.
"I want to be sure the public at large understands that this court doesn't get to vote on policy issues ... I understand the big picture, the problems with regionalization and the economic impacts," he said, adding: "I'm one judge. I'm not making policy for medical services delivery."
Arguments from both sides focused on the staying power of a single document: a 26-year-old lease agreement between Sutter Health and the Health Care District, which signed over a publicly owned hospital and promised a new facility, (built in 1992), to be governed by a majority of local residents.
Representing Sutter Health and Sutter Coast Hospital was Michael Duncheon and Michael McNaughton, who contended that this contract "expired by its own terms 20 years ago."
Health Care District attorney Michael Morrison argued that because both parties continued to abide by the lease's terms without contesting them, that is "strong circumstantial evidence that those agreements were intended to survive."
"I have great difficulty with the idea that there's a solid contract with both feet on the ground, but then again I've been persuaded this morning that there's some likelihood the plaintiffs will prevail," said LaCasse, citing the notion of an "implied duty" of Sutter Health to maintain and operate an acute care facility in Del Norte County.
"The question is: Do they have to do that forever? And that's a question I don't have to answer," he concluded.
Q-and-A exchanges between the judge and the attorneys peppered the 90-minute hearing.
At one point McNaughton was saying: 'They are trying to dictate to private companies ..." when he was cut off.
"Private company, private company. Aren't you a public benefit corporation?" LaCasse interrupted, alluding to Sutter Health's tax status and its corresponding obligations.
"This is not General Motors. This is Sutter Medical. They deliver medical services to people, including people who can't pay for them, under federal law ... It's sort of become a public utility in that sense. The argument that this is a private company is not persuasive in this case," the judge said.
After the hearing, Dr Kevin Caldwell commented:
"We are happy to get this preliminary injunction. I think arbitration in this case was not what we wanted, but it was what the original contract said. Since we've established now that the original contract is in effect, we have to follow it."
Caldwell is a local physician, Health Care District representative and a former hospital board member who cast the sole vote against pursuing regionalization last November.
Hospital spokesperson Beth Liles commented by email Wednesday afternoon:
"We are disappointed with the ruling. Sutter Coast Hospital and Sutter Health continue to believe the District's claims are without merit as they are based on a 1985 lease that expired by its own terms when Sutter Health built and opened the new hospital. We of course will abide by the terms of the preliminary injunction until the matter is resolved in arbitration."
While an initial temporary restraining order in this case barred Sutter Health from downsizing or reorganizing any departments at the hospital, particularly billing, this provision was not included in Wednesday's ruling.
Hospital officials have said that the "consolidation of support services" is already happening independently of regionalization. Last week Sutter Health announced the opening of a 1,000-employee center for administration in Roseville, which will ultimately reduce the number of employees at its 27 affiliated hospitals. The specific impact on Crescent City's staffing hasn't been announced.

Mathematical structures of line drawings of polyhedrons are studied and practical as well as theoretical solutions are obtained for several fundamental problems aroused in scene analysis and in man-machine communication. First, a necessary and sufficient condition for a line drawing to correctly represent a polyhedron is obtained in terms of linear algebra. Next, combinatorial structures are investigated and practical solutions are obtained to such problems as how to discriminate between correct and incorrect line drawings and how to correct vertex-position errors in incorrect line drawings. Lastly, distribution of the degree of freedom of a line drawing is elucidated and a method is proposed for interactive reconstruction of a polyhedron from a line drawing. The results obtained here enable us to make manmachine communication more ``flexible'' in the sense that a machine can reconstruct three-dimensional objects from hand-drawn pictures even if the pictures are not perfect.
