Van Dalen wins mile at NCAA Championships
March 10, 2012
Nampa, Idaho - Stony Brook's Lucy Van Dalen already had accomplished much going into the 2012 NCAA Indoor Track Championships at Boise State. She'd won an America East title in Cross Country in 2010, and earned All-America honors in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track last year. The only thing missing was an individual national title.
Not anymore.
Van Dalen, a senior from Wanganui, New Zealnd, won the mile, giving Stony Brook its first individual national title in any sport. Van Dalen, who crossed the finish line in 4:39.76, held off Aisha Prought of Illinois State (4:39.85) for the title. The time is a new facility record, just one night after setting a new mark.
"Lucy stuck to the game plan as well as you can," coach Andy Ronan said. "She was mentally and physically in the right place, and willed herself to the finish line. Our program has shown we can compete nationally in cross country, and now in track."
Less than two hours later, Van Dalen competed in the 3,000, finishing 10th (9:20.27). "The goal was to win the mile; everything else after that was a bonus," Ronan said.
For her efforts, Van Dalen earned All-America first team honors in the mile and second team honors in the 3,000.

Women in Wine
March 7, 2014
With "Inspiring Change" as this year's theme for International Women's Day, we thought we would highlight some women who have done just that.
In our "Women in Wine" List, we feature a handful of wines powered by women. It is a short sampling of the many female influencers in the wine industry – a taste of what women have contributed, if you will.
Veuve Clicquot la Grande Dame was created in honor of Madame Veuve Clicquot, who took over her husband's wine business when she was widowed at 27. She catapulted her small, Champagne start-up into success with her invention of disgorging. Prior to this technique, Champagne was cloudy and far from the sparkling masterpiece you know today. Santé!
Kathryn Kennedy Cabernet Sauvignon Small Lot is made in honor of the winery's late founder and CA wine industry pioneer. Kathryn Kennedy wine was not only the first in CA to bear a woman's name, but also among the only wineries to set up shop in Saratoga, rather than Napa, in the 1970's. She also helped define the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA in 1981, from which she produces this wine.
Inman Family Pinot Noir is the pure creation of Kathleen Inman, the self-described "Grapegrower, winemaker, salesperson, accountant, and forklift driver" of Inman Family Wines. A true leader and innovator, as well as one of the first to jump off the grid. The winery is made up almost entirely from recycled materials, and is 100% solar powered!
Domaine Catherine le Goeuil Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne is putting Cairanne on the map. Catherine Le Goeuil has been a leading pioneer for wines from Cairanne, a special village in the Cotes du Rhone that has merited its own designation by way of superior quality. Catherine tends her vines organically and makes her wines with care and precision.
Foradori Granato Vigneti della Dolomiti IGT is a unique wine made by Elisabetta Foradori, one of Italy's top "superstar" winemakers. Elisabetta is a pioneer of indigenous grape varietals and biodynamic wine making. She is Italy's finest producer Teroldego (tehr-AWL-deh-go) wines, one of the country's oldest and finest traditional grapes which have expanded interest in this ancient varietal.
Chateau Fonbadet Pauillac Pascale Peyronie is a Pauillac Pioneer! Say that five times fast. A fourth generation owner and winemaker, she is one of the only female winemakers in the region and part of a generation perpetuating change in a historically male-dominated wine region.
Palmaz Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon was created by the dynamic duo Tina Mitchell and Mia Klein, two of the most forward-thinking wine makers, particularly in natural wine making. Tina was trained under André Tchelistchef, "The Dean of Winemaking."
Mia is the go-to consultant for other top women-owned wineries such as, Araujo Estate, Spottswoode, Dalla Valle and Viader.
Gallo Of Sonoma Signature Series Pinot Noir Santa Lucia defies your perception of Gallo wines. Gina Gallo, winemaker, CEO and granddaughter to Julio Gallo, has reinvented the Gallo name, producing a line of beautiful fine wines from Gallo of Sonoma.
St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh and vibrant sauvignon blanc, reflective of the winery's energetic CEO, Emma Swain. This superstar finance executive turned wine maven, has led several Napa wineries to success in addition to running several half-marathons.
Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is a favorite of winery owner, Molly Chappellet. She and her husband Donn, co-founded Chappellet Winery in 1967, and have since passed it on to their children, including daughter Carissa Chappellet. Molly is a known artist, entertainer and James Beard Award winner for her book, "A Vineyard Garden."
We have also included a couple of wines from these up-and-coming women in wine. Iron Horse Estate Pinot Noir is produced by third-generation winemaker, Barrie Sterling, who is a true Iron Horse Child – it was the first thing she ever tasted when her parents put some on her lips just moments after birth. Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is made by Sally Johnson, a young winemaker who got her start at St. Francis winery and is now making internationally acclaimed wines with Pride.
Over the past few decades, women have become a veritable force in wine, not only in winemaking, but across all aspects of the industry, thanks to trailblazers like Masters of Wine, Jancis Robinson, Mary Ewing Mulligan and Dilek Caner, who are leaders in wine education, the 18 female Master Sommeliers, including the Laura Maneic, the youngest Master Sommelier in history, and all the women working in wine production, education, journalism, entrepreneurship, sales and service.
Who has inspired you? Share your props to the ladies in wine with us.

Jane McCarthy
Janette Sadik-Khan was the commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation from 2007-2013,[1] appointed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to replace Iris Weinshall. She is Chair of the Strategic Advisory Board of the National Association of City Transportation Officials.
Sadik-Khan was born in San Francisco, California to Orhan Sadik-Khan, managing director of UBS Paine Webber.[2][3][4]
She received a B.A. from Occidental College with a major in Political Science, and a law degree from Columbia Law School.[5]
Janette Sadik-Khan married Mark A. Geistfeld in 1990. He is a professor of law at New York University.[6]
She worked at the Mayor's Office for Transportation under David Dinkins, the Federal Transit Administration,[7] Parsons Brinckerhoff, as a Senior Vice President[8] and was a board member of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign.[9]
DOT Commissioner[edit]
Janette Sadik-Khan famously converted a segment of Broadway into a pedestrian plaza, but this was part of a larger framework of public space reclamation wherein the DOT would paint, measure, then finalize street re-designs. The pedestrian plazas built by the DOT tended to be places where streets intersected at non-right angles, as with Broadway, or where the space was under-utilized for parking, as in the early Pearl Street Plaza project. Under her predecessor, Iris Weinshall, traffic designs were finalized on paper and then built based on the AASHTO Highway Designs[citation needed] that have long been criticized as being tailored for rural and suburban needs[citation needed]. Under Ms. Sadik-Khan, the NYC DOT worked with NACTO on street designs more appropriate for city needs and would do street redesigns with paint and temporary breakaway bollards, then measure changes in capacity and collision frequency and severity before repaving or making other permanent changes. Her DOT also issued the first strategic plan in the agency's history.[10]
Janette Sadik-Khan is also known for her work in implementing the New York City's 1997 Bicycle Master Plan. In her first year as commissioner, bike lanes and painting of sharrows doubled from 29 miles in 2006 to 63 miles 2007. In the following five years an additional 254 miles of bike lanes or sharrows were painted. She also installed the city's first parking-protected bike lanes on 9th Avenue.

June 22, 2004—Implementation and management of the 2002 Farm Bill's CRP continues to be questioned between conservationists and federal administrators. The lack of clarity and action has led the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to prepare a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in an attempt to control managed haying and grazing that might harm nesting waterfowl and other birds. If USDA does not correct their plan, NWF will file the suit in federal court. As a last step to avoid litigation, NWF has sent a draft copy of a complaint to USDA to see whether a negotiated settlement might be possible.
Managed haying and grazing of CRP can be allowed under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 so long as it is consistent with conservation objectives, including the maintenance of wildlife habitat. Many state fish and wildlife agencies and conservation organizations have also questioned USDA's implementation of the new managed haying and grazing provisions.
According to NWF officials, USDA is allowing haying and grazing of lands enrolled in the program during primary waterfowl, upland game bird, and songbird nesting seasons. NWF also is concerned about the frequency of managed haying and grazing because mowing operations kill or displace nesting birds, and the grassland cover that is lost provides shelter from spring storms and predators—all factors that impact nesting bird populations.
The NWF contends these actions to be illegal based on several factors: the failure of the USDA to perform proper environmental assessments of these actions, provide public notice and comment, and articulate satisfactory rationale for permitting haying and grazing beyond written statutes.
According to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, the Secretary of Agriculture has authority to permit haying and grazing only where it is consistent with the conservation of soils, water quality, and wildlife habitat, including during nesting seasons for birds in the area.
Most conservationists agree with NWF that the solution to prevent abuses of the CRP managed haying and grazing provisions would be to avoid the prime waterfowl, upland game and songbird nesting seasons and to tailor grazing and haying to better science.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is an incentive for private landowners to restore and conserve wildlife habitat---an annual per acre rental payment is received for retiring cropland from production for 10-15 years. CRP is largest private lands conservation program and is the most important USDA program for waterfowl breeding areas in the United States. CRP has added 12.4 million birds to the waterfowl population that migrates south in fall.

Fausto Gresini, owner of the MotoGP squad which bears his name, says he wants to keep Alvaro Bautista for 2013.
With every works ride for next year now settled following Andrea Dovizioso's move to Ducati - and with Tech 3 then confirming Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith – the Gresini seat now represents the best opportunity for a competitive 2013 ride.
As a consequence the team has been linked with a score of riders, among them current Yamaha works rider Ben Spies.
Gresini insists nothing is decided, but did indicate that he wants to stick with Alvaro Bautista, new at the team this year, in order to see what the Spaniard can deliver in a second term.
"At this time we have not yet defined our plans for next year...I can say that I am very happy with Alvaro and I am not hiding the fact that I would like to continue with him," Gresini said.
"He is a rider that I respect a lot, who I think has great potential.
"I do not like to give a rider just one year, because it would be limiting. It is clear that in the market it is difficult to know what will happen, but the goal is to carry out the project that started this season, which I care a lot about.
"On the other hand, it is important to always have an alternative and you cannot just work with one rider, but that's part of the game, the riders do it, and so do the team.
"We talked with Spies and Redding, but we also spoke with Alvaro and I think this is the important thing. Nothing is decided."

Professor Green and the Rizzle Kicks spent most of the morning embroiled in a hilarious Twitter argument that kicked off over * drum roll * a ROAST POTATO.
We kid you not.
It all started off innocently with Pro tweeting: "Having burnt my mouth on a roast potato yesterday, I've just bitten my tongue eating my breakfast. The joys."
Then the Rizzles – who we thought were good pals with the Professor – replied saying, "No one cares". Which is probably a valid point, but who are we to judge?
Anyway, this went down about as well as that hot roast potato with Pro - real name Stephen Manderson - and he wrote back: "Did you ask your manager for permission to tweet that?"
Cue A LOT of playground-esque cutting comebacks and in-jokes we're still struggling to get.
Then things started making their way gradually below the belt when record sales and Pro's recent driving ban were brought into it. And then the unidentified Rizzle Kicks member had a go at using actual PHOTOSHOP (see above).
But, fear not, apparently it's not actually a proper fight. They're just messing about.
What japes!
"If a conversation that would normally take place over a tin and a game of FIFA constitutes war or even an argument then we're all f***ked," the rapper wrote, which the Rizzle Kicks later retweeted.
Here are some of the highlights...
No one cares RT @professorgreen: having burnt my mouth on a roast potato yesterday, i've just bitten my tongue eating my breakfast. the joys— Rizzle Kicks (@RizzleKicks) March 24, 2014
@professorgreen no, but I asked yours and he said something about dieting leading to "heightened emotional states"????— Rizzle Kicks (@RizzleKicks) March 24, 2014
@professorgreen haha, yeah! And I understand collabs being a delicate matter when most of your fans don't buy your records.— Rizzle Kicks (@RizzleKicks) March 24, 2014
If you haven't been to a @RizzleKicks show but have seen the redcoats at Butlins you in fact have seen a @RizzleKicks show.— Professor Green (@professorgreen) March 24, 2014
@professorgreen is that what the bowl of roast potatoes said to you afterwards?— Rizzle Kicks (@RizzleKicks) March 24, 2014

I fear that I goofed in a recent post noting the new Disney deal with Cox Communications that will include ESPN's Longhorn Network in several states, including Oklahoma.
I said this meant that Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops would have an easier time getting LHN than would Texas coach Mack Brown. In fact, I am told that Brown has been a subscriber from sign-on last year. It's Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds whose provider does not have a distribution deal with LHN. I mixed up my executives. Sorry about that.
CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE CORRECTION: I am told on this Wednesday that DeLoss Dodds now does have Longhorn Network. So, as Gilda Radner used to say through her "Saturday Night Live" character Emily Litella, never mind.

The fourth class of medical students to be accepted to the Columbia-Bassett Medical School Program spent the week of Aug. 5 to 9 in Cooperstown, getting to know the Bassett Medical Center campus as well as the community they will return to in January 2015.
The first day of orientation week was spent working alongside area business owners. Some of the students worked at a farm in Cooperstown, some helped out at an automobile repair shop, others joined a construction crew and a couple of students spent the day working at a local restaurant.
The week in Cooperstown also included a dinner session with James Carse, an author and professor emeritus, New York University, discussing the forces that influence people and dominate business and politics; discussion sessions with professors from Columbia's School of Business and School of Public Health about the U.S. health care system and medical errors; shadowing doctors in the outpatient clinic and in the hospital setting and visits to the New York State Historical Association and Glimmerglass Opera.
The week of orientation provides an opportunity for aspiring physicians to understand their patients as people by seeing them in the environment in which they live and work. They were also introduced to the Columbia-Bassett curriculum, which is designed to graduate physicians who understand and can lead the health systems of the future.
The 10 students who comprise the Columbia-Bassett Class of 2017 are Rachel Criswell, Yale University; Brandon Garcia, Dartmouth; Daniel Hoesterey, Claremont McKenna College; Marcos Lopez, Jr., University of Florida; Kathryn Nagel, Middlebury College; Kirby Pruis, Indiana University - Bloomington; Rachel Severin, University of Michigan – Ann Arbor; Henna Shaikh, McGill; Peter Young, Williams College; and Jonah Zuflacht, Williams College.
The class will spend its first 18 months at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons before returning to Bassett for two and a half years of clinical training.

By Sara E. Martin, Army Flier Staff WriterApril 25, 2013
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (April 25, 2013) -- The Fort Rucker community pulled together April 20 during the installation's second Survivors and Fallen Heroes 5k run and remember.
The run is designed to honor survivors and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, according to Beth Gunter, financial counselor for Survivor Outreach Services, and to show Families of fallen Soldiers that they are still a member of the Army Family.
"This gives us an opportunity to show survivors of our fallen service members that their loved one is not forgotten. We want to honor those who have fallen," she said, adding that this run is a tribute to the sacrifices that they have made for the rest of America.
The run is a collaborative effort by the Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the members of B Company, 1st Battalion, 145th Aviation Regiment and the SOS program.
Gunter said that SOS reaches out to all survivors to provide service and answer whatever questions they may have for a lifetime, rather than just a period of time after a Soldier has fallen.
Some runners, like 1st Lt. Joshua Paille, who ran with a 20-pound rucksack, said they carried their fallen loved ones with them daily and that it was meaningful for Fort Rucker to honor the fallen this way.
"I ran for three people, but the one closest to my heart is Lance Cpl. Justin Mcleese. We went to high school together and he was killed in Fallujah," he said. Paille's running partner was Irish, a black yorkipoo who ran for Pvt. Robert Copeland.
"The run keeps the memory of the Soldiers alive. It is so easy to forget somebody when they are gone, but it means a lot to the Families and friends to see the names of those who [have been] lost on our backs and chests. We have to remember them," he said.
Keeping the memories of those lost alive is something that everyone participating from organizers to on lookers said was one of the most important things about the race. Many agreed that races such as this one are for the good of the country.
People could be seen crying during the competition as well as after the race, but smiles ultimately ran the show.
Lining the road at the start and finish lines were Wiregrass Patriot Guard Riders and members of local Boy Scout Troops. Many said it was an honor to do their parts.
"We do this out of respect for our fallen heroes and those who are still overseas," said Durl Adkinson, member of the Wiregrass Patriot Guard Riders. "We hope that [the Families] know that we are here to support them and that we respect what Soldiers do and what Families have sacrificed."
Three hundred and eighty six stars were worn and all available stars participated in the race. There were 377 participants this year, beating out last year's 359 total.
"We had [several] Soldiers come out and run for survivors in our area, but we also had blank stars if a runner knew someone and wanted to run in their honor," said Gunter.
Officials kept the tone of the race as upbeat as possible. The DFMWR helicopter was there, music was playing and a bouncy house was there for children.
Five Gold Star Families were represented at the race, embodying the about 700 Gold Star members that live in the Alabama area, according to Col. Stuart J. McRae, garrison commander.
"We will never forget the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we have. This is just a small symbol of that as we run and remember. In a way we are making sure that our Families are also neither forgotten nor left behind," he said.
McRae ran with Pfc. Ryan Winslow's star. Winslow is one of the 386 fallen heroes from the Alabama area.
CW4 Wayne Grimes, B Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Aviation Regiment, said he enjoyed the run, but that it reminded him of the heavy burden in his heart.
"We are remembering not just those who have fallen in this war but in all wars since the Revolutionary War. I am running for lots of lost friends … too many," he said.
The overall winners of the race were: Penny Proctor, overall female open winner; Kim Barcelone, overall female master winner; Cassie Logan, overall female grandmaster winner; David Seymour, overall male open winner; Marcus Woody, overall male master winner; and Max Timmons, overall male grandmaster winner.
Bandit Mccarthy, who ran with W01 Mac Mccarthy, B Company, 1st Battalion, 145th Aviation Regiment, was the first canine to cross the finish line.

Things Fall Apart
by Chinua Achebe
Things Fall Apart Fate and Free Will Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
All was silent. In the center of the crowd a boy lay in a pool of blood. It was the dead man's sixteen-year-old-son, who with his brothers and half-brothers had been dancing the traditional farewell to their father. Okonkwo's gun had exploded and a piece of iron had pierced the boy's heart…
The only course open to Okonkwo was to flee from the clan. It was a crime against the earth goddess to kill a clansman, and a man who committed it must flee from the land. The crime was of two kinds, male and female. Okonkwo had committed the female, because it had been inadvertent. He could return to the clan after seven years… (13.16)
Okonkwo kills a boy by accident. This incident could be read as a whim of fate that has devastating consequences on Okonkwo, even though it was inadvertent. An alternative reading is that the accidental crime is Okonkwo's payback for his poor choice to kill Ikemefuna.
Quote #8
[Uchendu]: "Is it right that you, Okonkwo, should bring to your mother a heavy face and refuse to be comforted? Be careful or you may displease the dead. Your duty is to comfort your wives and children and take them back to your fatherland after seven years. But if you allow sorrow to weigh you down and kill you, they will all die in exile." (14.32)
Uchendu warns Okonkwo of willfully displeasing the dead. As spirits, they seem to have some power to influence fate and could, if insulted, bring about destruction on a wide, generational scale.
Quote #9
He told them that the true God lived on high and that all men when they died went before Him for judgment. Evil men and all the heathen who in their blindness bowed to wood and stone were thrown into a fire that burned like palm-oil. But good men who worshipped the true God lived forever in His happy kingdom. (16.9)
The missionaries depict salvation as a choice one makes between good and evil. One's own fate hangs in his own hands.

MOFFETT FIELD -- The NASA Ames Research Center will host its first open house in 17 years next month, giving the public a rare opportunity to see its wind tunnels and "simulated Martian landscape."
Center operations director Chuck Duff said the open house, which celebrates the center's 75th anniversary, is an opportunity to share its diverse research projects and missions with the public.
"You can get a really unique aspect into NASA by coming to Ames," he said. "It's really quite an amazing place for the wide variety, from aeronautics to space technology."
Tickets are free for the Oct. 18 event. There are two types of tickets, a general admission ticket that every visitor will need and a backstage pass that will admit them to special labs.
The general admission tickets include a two-mile self-guided tour of the grounds, exhibits featuring Ames' space missions, demonstrations of technologies invented at the research center, and the opportunity to meet with Ames scientists and engineers.The backstage passes will admit visitors to one of about 10 specialized labs such as the "20G Centrifuge" and the "Vertical Motion Simulator." The center, with 2,500 employees and contractors at the Moffett Field site, developed and leads the efforts on the Mars Curiosity Rover's Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument or "CheMin," which tests for life-supporting organic compounds and evidence of water on Mars.
NASA Ames also leads the mission operations for the Kepler mission, which searches for planets with habitable environments. In April, the Kepler mission discovered an Earth-sized planet in the "habitable zone" of a star 500 light-years from Earth, the first evidence of another possible life-supporting planet.
At the open house, the center will hand out information about these projects and showcase technologies being researched at the center -- such as drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles and systems (UAVS), and "NanoSats," and "CubeSats," tiny satellites, as small as 10 centimeters cubed and weighing 3 pounds, which do low-cost space research.
"PhoneSats" are satellites made out of smart phones, and they have successfully taken pictures of the earth from space.
"Technologies are much better, they're smaller, they're lighter," Duff said. "We're using telephones as avionics...we're using the technology that our creative country has produced and we're putting it to work in space and achieving results a lot faster."
The center will also display components manufactured by Ames' "SpaceShop," which uses 3D printing and other digital methods to quickly model shuttle parts. The goal is to be able to do this quickly in space to fix shuttles.
"If you are en route to Mars for example and a part breaks," Duff said. "We could, on the ground, send the 3D printing results up to the vehicle in flight," and have it print the parts there.
The Ames Research Center was founded in 1939 as part of the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics (now NASA), focusing on the construction of wind tunnels for aerodynamics research. The center's 80-by-120-foot wind tunnel is the largest in the world.
The center is involved in several other missions, such as the International Space Station, the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) orbiter, and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) research aircraft.
NASA Ames open house
When: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct, 18
Tickets: Free general admissions tickets: Available now at https://nasaamesopenhouse.eventbrite.com/. They provide access to the grounds, a walking tour which goes around the wind tunnels and a simulated Martian landscape, and the opportunity to chat with Ames scientists and engineers at booths. Visitors can choose what time to be admitted to the center, on the hour, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m..
Free backstage passes provide access to specialized labs. Available at noon each Thursday. Check http://www.nasa.gov/ames/openhouse2014/#backstage for information on which tickets will be available each Thursday and http://amesbackstage.eventbrite.com to register.
Parking: None at the center. Shuttle buses to the event will run from the VTA Lightrail BayShore/NASA Station and VTA/CalTrain Mountain View Transit Station.

The best places to stay
1. Jamaica
For me, the sea — the main criterion, but many seas. Warm sea in winter — very important, but such resorts too much. And in Jamaica there is no exotics, I like it a lot. You don't sell Ethnography, sell a little fake alien culture. There's just not their culture. All the resorts built by Europeans — on the European way. In addition, in Jamaica will not meet Commerce.
half of the hotel is intended for adults only. Despite the fact that I have a little daughter, I'm sure a real vacation adult can get only in the company of adults.
of Course, not necessary to go to nudist beaches, although really many hotels dressed only goes attendants. But this applies to all local devices — and recreation, and the space itself. There I remembered Lido in Venice — only in fundamentally different climatic conditions.
2. Crete
Maybe, Crete took second place due to the freshness of the experience. It's still a European resort. We lived in a boarding house, which was previously privately owned, there's far more going excavations of antiquities.
Greece is a very attractive ratio of sun and greenery. If you go in there, where a lot of sun, at the same time there is little greenery — as in Egypt. Or Vice versa: where there is a lot of greenery, not guaranteed good weather. In this sense, Crete very comfortable.
3. Maldives
the Maldives — this is the kind of picture that suddenly takes and comes alive. Holidays in the Maldives — it is relaxing to the eye. There is a feeling that all there pictures were drawn or removed from some posters.
After ten days in the Maldives, we had the feeling that we were in such a "real" Paradise that man cannot create. And somewhere on the tenth day we came upon a house in the centre of the island, which was called 'a Museum of the island. Went there and were blown away. It turns out that there was a ridge of rocks — rocky Islands, which after the war bought some guys poured down the sand, planted palm trees...
All this Paradise was completely artificial. He's just over 50 years has turned into a natural, organic space for relaxation. Another plus — in the Maldives, there is no trades, there is absolutely no one produces.
an Amazing feeling when fish you are not afraid, when you can swim with stingrays and small sharks for half an hour together playing in the water. The feeling of Paradise.
Maybe we were lucky — there were three Islands, one of them lived attendants. In fact, we generally saw no one. They arrived somewhere at 5 in the morning when everyone is still asleep, collecting fallen leaves and at 7 in the morning, before we open the eyes disappeared. And this feeling of loneliness is also amazing. Seems like a lot of people who you serve, and at the same time as if no...
4. Baden-Baden
Every third inhabitant of Baden-Baden millionaire. It is the only European 'nonmarine» resort, which I like. Firstly, there is an amazing water. I go here if I had a very hard month, if I'm exhausted. You come to Baden-Baden for two or three days and during this time, fully restored — thanks to the miraculous water.
secondly, the Russian presence. You see European city, the history of which is directly connected with the history of Russia. This also applies to the summer residences of our kings, and places where you can rent a room, where Dostoevsky lived. Here are all soaked in the atmosphere.
In Baden-Baden reigns absolute, undisturbed rest. Here's a fantastically luxurious Park, thermal baths, where you can in one day to recover for a long time ahead.
5. Venice
In Venice I travel often for work — at the Venice Biennale. But lately we after going for a few days stay in Lido. This is a very old resort, in this sense, there are a lot of inconveniences. But there are some small details that make a vacation a very pleasant: the audience, near Venice, in the evenings you can go to Giardini and relax into a more cultural setting.
On the beaches you can rent a small house 50 metres from the sea. It is very convenient. There is no traditional beaches. You came to the beach — you have your beach house, almost carried to the beach, many beach cafe, which pulls the old beautiful furniture. Very friendly atmosphere. The service is good that you feel on equal terms with a man who cooks you coffee. He's just younger: for example, a student, a friend of your son, who came to work for the summer.
and, of course, Venice itself — the city in which I usually forget who I am, and I do not want. I want that time lasted forever. There is such magic.
6. Turkey
Turkey — it's anti-Jamaica. But since I have a daughter of five and a half years in Turkey I enjoy how well my daughter. This is a country where the entire business is built on a family holiday, where everything is made for children. In Turkey you understand that everything here is created recently that just as well could be in the Crimea or in Sochi — thanks to the work of the people. But Turkey still magnificent nature, good sea. And if it weren't for me and my daughter were rating, Turkey she would get in the first place.
7. Goa
This resort could be the first and the second and eighth place. As in Jamaica, here pleases the absence of exotics... Sort of near India, Ceylon, the climate is the same, but exotics there. This former Portuguese colony is all built by Europeans for Europeans.
Goa — European resort in the subtropical climate zone. The climate here is wonderful: air and water temperature is the same everywhere diffused such serenity, these local people — almost angels, good-natured, open, naive...
However, unlike Jamaica, they live in poverty and so all the time you are trying to sell something. But the naivety with which they do it captivating. Like you say "tomorrow buy" — just to get rid of. And now this man comes and tomorrow, and tomorrow — after all, you said you will buy. And somewhere on the fifth day you suddenly discover that he's waiting for you. You said "at 8 in the morning"and he every morning at 8 am comes with its cheap goods.
And, of course, the audience in Goa younger — I like it too. It is a very inexpensive resort, so there gathers young people from all over the world. Many English, Dutch, Israelis. Now my family and I arrived in Goa on all winter. Take the house, and I come from time to time.
8. Egypt
I'd even said so, not Egypt and the Red sea. Because the best the rest — it sailing across the Red sea, scuba diving in this world aquarium.
in General, I enjoy scuba diving and underwater hunting. For me, the beauty of the red sea compensates for any inconvenience Egyptian resorts. Red sea — one of my favorite places.
9. Yalta
In Yalta I stay at the hotel 'Ariadne». It may be that she is there only good. In Yalta very short season — 2.5 or 3 months, but has its advantages.
Here all speak Russian, and nobody is surprised. Fishing: catch mullet — one of the greatest pleasures that anywhere except Yalta, no. Well, for me Yalta is good because it is close by where you can arrange meetings. I'm not coming here to relax with your family, but can occur in some company. If you need to discuss something important, we can retire from the world to go to Yalta for a couple of days. There my favorite places serving Sebastopol fried eel. Generally if the proper use of Yalta, you can get a great gastronomic pleasure — there the food is very tasty and always fresh.
10. Carpathians
I love to ski, but don't do it very well. I'm not an avid skier, I just like to get pleasure from driving. The Carpathians are good because they are gentle, — it is not of the Caucasian mountains, it does not require much effort. Carpathians is very democratic.
Before perestroika, when we couldn winter driving is on the sea, every winter I went to the Carpathians. Skiing, red wine, some kinds of tiny gostinichki in the mountains on 5—6 rooms. Endless disputes with the local population about whether Bandera bandit or a national hero...
by the Way, to fight never came — everyone knew that the question is theoretical, not practical. Generally up to 86-year Carpathians were a very important point on the map.

PARKERSBURG - Wood County commissioners on Thursday decided not to open bids for demolition and asbestos removal at the former Holding Center.
Four bids were received for demolition of the Second Street facility and three were submitted for asbestos removal.
After learning a former prosecutor's opinion, provided in an earlier case, that demolition was not covered by the state code pertaining to prevailing wage payment, the county officials decided to keep the bids sealed and continue the bid opening to Monday.

Wood County Prosecutor Jason Wharton reviewed with county commissioners an earlier opinion in which he stated demolition does not fall within the code section which requires prevailing wage be paid on jobs for public authorities.
"Only those who have already submitted bids will be allowed to bid again on Monday, or you can just attach your new price onto your existing bid," Commissioner Blair Couch told company representatives.
According to the opinion issued by Prosecutor Jason Wharton in May 2012 relating to the demolition of the former magistrate court building, state code requires no less than prevailing hourly rates can be paid for "construction" performed by "any public authority."
"The issue is whether demolition constitutes construction within the meaning of the statute," Wharton said. Demolition does not fall within the meaning prescribed by the Legislature, therefore, the county is not required to require bids at prevailing wage, he said.
Fact Box
History Lesson
* The predecessor to the current Holding Center/Jail stood on Third Street and was built in 1889. It was torn down in the early 1970s when it was replaced by the Second Street building.
* The Second Street facility served as the county jail until 2001 when the regional jail authority was formed and all inmates serving sentences were transferred to the North Central Regional Jail at Greenwood, Doddridge County.
* The former Wood County Jail then became a holding center.
* A smaller version of the Holding Center was constructed inside the new Wood County Justice Center and all Holding Center/Home Confinement Program staff moved to the new building in early 2012.
The county commissioners said Thursday the opinion, which was issued to John Reed, county compliance officer, was just called to their attention.
Wharton told the commissioners Thursday the asbestos removal was part of the demolition process since it could not begin until asbestos was removed from the building, so those bids also did not have to include prevailing wages.
"This is new information, by not opening the bids, no unfair advantage would be given to the other bidders," Couch said.
County Administrator Marty Seufer said all bidders who wished to bid on the projects were required to attend the earlier pre-bid conference.
The four firms submitting demo bids were: Empire Builders of Parkersburg; Reclaim Co. of Fairmont; Graham Excavation, of Parkersburg; and J.C. Bosley of Parkersburg. The three companies that turned in bids for asbestos removal were Justice Business Service, Marietta; Reclaim of Fairmont; Empire Builders.
"It should make a difference in the cost of the project," Commissioner Steve Gainer noted.
"If it were just asbestos removal, then it might be different, but because, in this case, it is part of the demolition process, the prevailing wage requirement does not apply to bids for that project either," Wharton said.
The new bids or amended bids are due 9 a.m. Monday. The bids will be opened at 9:05 a.m.
The former Holding Center, which is now unoccupied, costs the county about $8,000 annually, plus the cost of insurance, to maintain the building.
A smaller version of the Holding Center was constructed in the Wood County Justice Center and all personnel with the Holding Center and Home Confinement Program were moved from the Second Street location when the Justice Center opened early 2012.
Prior to being a Holding Center the building served as the county jail from the time it was constructed in the 1970s until 2001 when the regional jail authority was formed and all inmates serving sentences were transferred to the North Central Regional Jail at Greenwood, Doddridge County.
The commissioners have repeatedly invited federal and state corrections officials to tour the building and consider purchasing or leasing it for some type of facility within their systems, but to no avail.
The county officials decided to see what the cost of demo and asbestos removal would be, and are looking at putting in a parking lot at the location once the building is removed.
Commission President Wayne Dunn did not attend Thursday's meeting.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 3.8 in 14 reviews
You might be wondering why I say that it is one of the best, when it is so easy to abuse the rules, and break this game? Well if you make some minor rules adjustments, the strategic possibilities of this game are fantastic. Here are the rules tweaks that I would reccomend:
1. After the first turn, deal 8 cards to each player, but have them discard down to a maximum of 10 cards. That way, they get some advantage by keeping cards, but not an undue advantage.
2. Only allow the gold doubling bonus to occur the first time you land on the village.
The first two rules are pretty much necessary, but this third rule is optional:
3. Playing a thief on a village with another players gold card cancels the effect of the gold card instead of giving the player 2 gold for that player. All other players who land there must still give the thief 2 gold.
The fact that you can add and remove villages, buy cards, exchange cards, play obstacles, and thieves, makes for a very challenging and exciting game. Also, the theme of the game, the artwork, and everything else make this game a winner, despite its susceptibility to abuse.
This game plays much better than Elfenland, and has more strategic possibilities. It is also easier to set up and take down.
I write reviews with family game nights in mind. King of the Elves is nearly perfect!
The game is based on the excellent board game Elfenland and is almost like a souped-up, fantasy-themed Mille Bornes. Players play two phases. In the first phase, village cards are played, and obstacles/bonuses are added, making the 'board' the players will travel on. The second phase, players get as far around the 'board' as possible, collecting coins as they go.
This game is fun, unique, and clever (and the artwork is beautiful!) Everyone I have played this game with has loved it and wanted to play again immediately. The game can be a bit edgy (sometimes all the obstacles seem to affect mostly you and no one else; sometimes you can't seem to get the cards you need to travel) but it tends to balance out through the number of rounds played and through special cards like the knight card. And if you hate card games and have to have a board game, pick up the also excellent Elfenland!
King of the Elves
The good: Fun, fast, very inexpensive, high replayability, beautiful artwork. The bad: As with most card games, sometimes the cards just don't fall your way.
All in all, highly recommended for family game nights!
This is the card game version of Elfenland+Elfengold. The components are similar and the travel cards are identical to those in Elfenland and the coins to those in Elfengold.
The play time is a little shorter but it is not as fun just seeing the cities. You don't get the feeling like you're going to ride a dragon across the desert.
If you really like Elfenland and would like a shorter game with less set up time, then you will enjoy it.

This improvement over Alan Moon's award-winning Elfenland (see December 1998 GAMES, now translated by Rio Grande) retains the enchantment of the original but adds more player interaction. Players build villages, featuring six types of terrain, in their own realms. They then finish the round by traveling the land, stopping at each village to earn the gold available there. The player with the most gold wins. You must plan to have the right cards to visit each village: Seven types of transportation are available, but none serves all terrains. The Magic Cloud, for instance, will only carry you to three kinds. A wide variety of Action Cards allows you to steal earnings from others, double your rewards at a city, or lay obstacles that opponents can only surmount by drawing heavily upon their travel resources. Cards played replace Elfenland's inflexible board routes and, with the Actions, make for an even more delightful game of strategy and gratifying meanness.
First there was Elfenroads: a critical success, but also a limited edition and very much a gamers' game. Not a combination that makes anyone a lot of money. Then came Elfenland, a shortened and simplified version of Elfenroads aimed at the broader and much bigger family market. Get that one right and you do make money, and, as you all know, Elfenland did get it right. This new one is a third trip to the well, taking the same idea and redoing it as a card game. There is a long list of Hollywood films that can be cited as evidence for the proposition that follow-ups are artistic failures more often than not, but among all the rip-offs you do get the occasional Godfather II. This game isn't in that sort of league, but it is also a long way from being a piece of pure exploitation. The marketing strategy has been to attach it to Elfenland's coat tails and graphically the two games are very similar, but the mechanics are new. You still have elves going on journeys but this is most definitely a different game.
The cards come in three types: travel cards, village cards and action cards, with the first being the element that has been carried across from the earlier games. So you have elf cycles, troll wagons, pigs, dragons, unicorns, clouds and rafts, and each is good on certain types of terrain and either inefficient or useless on others. In the boardgames the terrain lay between the villages. That is obviously not possible when there is no board and so this time the terrain is attached to the villages themselves. If you wish to visit a mountain village, unicorns or dragons or clouds are good news; you can get by with elf cycles or troll wagons; but pigs and rafts are no help at all. If on the other hand the village lies on a lake or a sea, it is a case of rafts or nothing.
The game consists of a series of rounds in each of which card play will result in a circuit of villages, with one or two lying in front of each player. Once this part of the round is complete, each player will undertake a journey starting from the part of the circuit immediately in front of them and collecting gold as they go. The player with most gold at the end of the game will be the winner. Various of the villages will also have been embellished with action cards, some good some bad. The good ones will make the journey more profitable for the player who placed them and the bad ones will make life more difficult for everybody else. Typical cards include thieves (who rob travellers passing through the village of some of their gold), logs and sea monsters (which increase travel costs), gold (which increases the income from the village) and soldiers (who get you past any bits of nastiness that the opposition has put there). Once everybody has made their journey, new cards are dealt out, all the ones that were played in the previous round are removed to the discard pile and the whole business starts again.
This process of circuit building provides the game with a solid and interesting core giving everyone plenty to think about. Your aim is to create a circuit which suits your travel cards but which won't suit those of your opponents, and the game gives you a good range of tactical options. You can play village cards not just in front of yourself but in front of others. Likewise with action cards. Restrictions on the number of cards played in each area make timing important here and that is usually a good feature of a game. At a cost of gold you can buy up to three extra cards and can remove villages and their associated action cards from the section in front of you. This also brings in considerations of timing. You can also, at a cost of reducing your hand size, trade unwanted cards for new ones from the deck.
An interesting core then and since the core is almost equal to the whole, this ought to make for an interesting game and to a large extent it does. But there are weaknesses. The first is easily fixed: just don't believe everything it says on the box. ``2-6 players, playing time 45 minutes''. Pah! I haven't tried the game with two but think it would lose a lot (though See Larry below). I have tried it with six. Never again! My group are not slow players but with this number it still took us over two hours and for a game of this weight that is way too long. This is something that the designer and developers should have been aware of, for much the same is true of Elfenroads. With four players it is an excellent game; with six it drags interminably. Some of my players refuse to play it under any circumstances and the reason is that their one experience of it was the time we tried it with six. If you buy this one, the first thing you should do after removing the shrink wrap is take a felt tip pen and change that ``2-6'' to ``3-5''. That way you won't forget. I'd also suggest that even when playing it with five you reduce the number of rounds to four.
The other is more subtle but can probably also be fixed. It concerns card hoarding. There are a couple of aspects to the game that tend to make this a good idea. One is a bonus element in the scoring; the other an interaction between two of the action cards. (I shan't be more specific than that, because if you don't spot it the problem won't arise and you'll probably enjoy the game more.). Provided this is not carried to excess, it is simply a strategic option and for many groups that is how it will stay. However, if it is carried to excess -- and there is nothing in the rules to stop it -- the whole game structure starts to come apart, with the draw deck becoming unacceptably small and key cards not circulating. This happened in our not to be repeated 6-hander. If you do run into the problem, try introducing a maximum hand size. I would suggest 8 as the maximum number of cards that you can carry over from one round to the next. This is high enough to give players the option of holding back on the length of their journey this round in order to score better next but is enough to stop excessively large hands and to inhibit people who might be temted to sit on key cards in order to deny others their use.
In summary, I think that this was one of the better games from Essen, but against that positive statement must be set the fact that I thought Essen '99 was short on good new games and so the competition wasn't that tough. A less equivocal recommendation can be built round the flexibility the game has when you are considering its likely appeal to various groups. Gamers who thought the SdJ game too light are likely to find this one much more to their liking, but at the same time it has the potential to be enjoyed by family groups who would shy away from Elfenroads. This is one of those games that can be played either hard or fairly friendly. Normally that would mean ``buy this'', but here it is not that simple for you also need to decide just how many games you want about elves riding round on pigs. They have now spent so much time in each other's company that people are starting to talk. If the answer is that you only want one, and if you already have Elfenland, then you might find that the goal of having a game that will appeal to both keen gamers and fringe gamers could be better achieved by buying the Elfengold expansion. That is the majority opinion among the views I have read, but it is by no means unanimous and so it is going to come down to a case of reading both descriptions and then making your own call.

In This Article:
You may have heard about a high-tech sounding treatment for acne and wrinkles: Light-emitting diode (LED) therapy. Also known as photodynamic therapy or PDT, these light-emitting treatments for acne and signs of aging complement rather than replace a well-formulated skin-care routine (yes, you'll still need sunscreen). As with any light-emitting for skin, there are pros and cons with to consider, whether it's done at a doctor's office or with a handheld device in the privacy of your own home. In either scenario, if you're patient and don't expect miracles, the research is promising!
Read More Below
How it Works: Specific wavelengths of blue light target the strain of bacteria that plays a pivotal role in causing acne for many people. The light causes the development of oxygen radicals that kill P. acnes bacteria without damaging healthy skin.
Professional device names: ClearLight Acne Photoclearing System; Blu-U; Omnilux Blue.
How it Works: Wavelengths of red light that may help improve skin's barrier function by improving its ability to retain key elements it needs to heal and generate new collagen after its production has slowed due to age or cumulative damage. Red light LEDs are also believed to target the skin's oil glands to reduce cytokines, a class of pro-inflammatory substances believed to play a role in chronic acne.
Device names: Acnelamp (available as a handheld or tabletop option; prices vary); Omnilux Revive, Omnilux Red (in-office only).
If you are considering an at-home light-emitting device for anti-aging or clearing acne, we'd recommend shopping carefully and buying only from reputable manufacturers. Due to concerns over lawsuits, most manufacturers of these devices are forced to limit their intensity, often to a much lower strength than the LED-emitting machines your dermatologist uses. In a sense, that's good news because it is possible to overdo these treatments and consumers could end up damaging their skin, which is never the goal.
Some LED devices sold to consumers actually do match the strength of those used in the dermatologist's office. This is definitely an issue where caution is warranted, so be sure to read all accompanying instructions and follow the usage directions to the letter!
At-home devices we recommend for treating acne: Quasar MD Blue ($595); Quasar Baby Blue ($349); Quasar Clear Rayz for Acne ($249); Tria Acne Clearing Blue Light ($299).
At-home devices we recommend for treating wrinkles: Quasar MD Plus ($795); Baby Quasar Plus ($399); Tanda Luxe Skin Rejuvenation Photofacial Device ($195).
LED light-emitting devices require protective eye wear. The wavelengths they emit can damage unprotected eyes, and if you don't remember to protect your eyes at home with the higher intensity output you would be risking your sight. Be sure to invest in protective eyewear prior to using such devices around your eyes, and never look directly into the device.
Don't get to caught up in the "FDA approved" for what's known as "class 2 medical device" claim that's used for many at-home LED devices. All this means is that the FDA approved the device for safety, not effectiveness. Latex gloves are also a class 2 medical device, as are wheelchairs. This distinction is a key reason it's important to look at the published research demonstrating results, not a blanket, potentially misleading claim of FDA approval.
Many (so many we lost count) of our readers have asked about TRIA laser hair removal. The TRIA is an 810-nanometer diode laser system with research showing it can reduce hair growth on the underarm, legs or elsewhere. It is tricky to use and the instructions must be followed exactly or the machine won't produce even minor results, but it is absolutely an option to consider if you are willing to make the time and financial commitment (and yes, it hurts). We strongly advise you to follow the directions exactly, which includes not overdoing it (this isn't a situation where more frequent treatments will produce better results).
Different in wavelength and purpose than the TRIA device for hair removal is TRIA's Age-Defying Laser, an at-home diode (non-LED) laser device that retails for $495. We believe such devices will be a growing trend in the field of at-home facial rejuvenation products. Despite the high price, the technology behind this device is sound, and the results from consistent use are likely to be impressive for most people, making the investment worth it. But the key word is "consistent"!
The question of whether or not this works better than tretinoin is difficult to answer, as there are no comparative studies. We suspect that most people who use tretinoin or higher-strength retinol products will want to keep doing so, and use an at-home device as part of a comprehensive anti-aging routine.
What about Tria's Age-Defying Laser replacing the fractionated laser (such as Fraxel) treatments that a dermatologist offers? No question: The in-office procedure can produce better results from fewer treatments, but it costs more, too. The other point to keep in mind is that a doctor can customize and strengthen the treatment in a way that users of at-home devices cannot, which allows for more targeted results in much less time.
Which way to go? This is a decision you need to make based on how much time and money you're willing to spend. The TRIA Age-Defying Laser costs less than an in-office Fraxel treatment, but it requires a minimum of 12 weeks of treatments, five days per week. In contrast, you will likely love the results after only 2–3 brief Fraxel treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Both can be painful, with Fraxel being more painful.
One more comment: The TRIA Age-Defying Laser is "FDA cleared," not "FDA approved." What's the difference? To get a "cleared" rating, TRIA had to show that their device was "substantially equivalent" to a device or product already being marketed for the same use (and that device or product must have a demonstrated safety record). To gain "FDA approved" status, TRIA would have to show that their specific device is safe and effective.
As far as treating acne, in-office dermatologist administered LED treatments are worth considering if other topical medications haven't worked, or before you see a dermatologist you can try one of the at-home LED devices for acne. Just keep in mind that skin-care products with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and tretinoin (a prescription-only topical medication), along with other medical options are the preferred first lines of defense.
For anti-aging, LED therapy is an option when performed in-office or with the right handheld devices for home use, but just like when used for treating acne, light therapy will never replace a great skin-care routine (and daily use of sunscreen, whether the forecast is cloudy or sunny)! At best, they are a complement, and at worst you won't see results and will feel as though you've wasted your time and money.
Last, with any of these treatments, especially if you opt to use a device at home, consistency and patience are the keys to success. These treatments require a time commitment, and if you're not willing to invest the time, you may not want to invest the money—or you may want to see your dermatologist to discuss more "potent" treatments such as non-ablative lasers or fractional resurfacing.

An artist has teamed up with a shop owner to bring a splash of colour to this weekend's Malton Food Lovers Festival.
Thorpe Bassett-based artist Peter Mattinson is displaying his paintings – inspired by the humble neck tie – in Smash Menswear, Malton, for the next month.
And to celebrate the return of the food festival for its sixth year, he will unveil his latest creation – Chef's Crescendo – in the shop from Friday.
The exhibition is the brainwave of Jeremy Swallow, owner of Smash Menswear, who is seeking artists to brighten up his shop on Finkle Street.
"I loved his work and it sat comfortable in the shop," said Jeremy. "I just felt they were so unusual and it's nice I can give my walls over to an artist. It gives people somewhere to come and look at art."

The pattern is another vintage re-release, a 1969 Simplicity Jiffy pattern this time. Being a Jiffy pattern, it was incredibly easy – they really are great patterns, especially for beginners. There are few patter pieces and none are complicated shapes, unlike my last make. The Jiffy patterns all seem to date from around the 1960s, and are all variations on classic shift dress shapes. In addition to the bishop sleeve this pattern's variation is deep shoulder pleats which gather it in at the top and open to fullness at the bust. Overall, the pattern has a last few seasons of Mad Men vibe.
The fabric is a rayon from Tessuti Fabrics that I've looked at a lot of times I've been in there but finally bought earlier this year. It has a nice wavey/shell print in pinks and greys and purples, but is still fairly muted.
