I have been a little lax on the New England news reporting lately despite having a half-dozen interesting topics lying around. Here is a quick attempt to get one into the beer geek rumor mill.
The Harpoon Brewery of Boston is preparing for the release of a new line of 'big beers' to accompany its existing line of mainstream ales. The new series, named 'Leviathan,' will start out with draft only offerings and eventually transition into 4-packs and limited availability on draft. The line is designed to appeal to the niche of beer geeks who felt that the brewery's '100 Barrel Series' lacked sufficient punch as a specialty release. The 100 Barrel Series was initially designed to help Harpoon push beyond its stock lineup of traditional, mild flavored beers. While it offered several 'extreme' or higher gravity offerings, the 100 Barrel Series eventually focused on more traditional styles, such as oatmeal stout and wit, that were not designed to push the brewing envelope, the Leviathan series is expected to forage into new brewing areas for Harpoon.
Ironically, Harpoon's first release in the Leviathan series is a throwback to the tenth beer the brewery produced as part of its 100 Barrel Series. The Leviathan Triticus, a beer originally brewed with help by Jason and Todd Alstrom of BeerAdvocate.com, will debut at the American Craft Beer Fest in June (Harpoon and BeerAdvocate are partners in the ACBF venture). The Triticus is a wheat wine of 14-percent alcohol.
This isn't the first time the Leviathan name has been used by an American craft brewery in connection with a series of stronger beers. The Sleeping Lady Brewing Company of Anchorage, Alaska, produces the Leviathan Double I.P.A., the Pacific Coast Brewing Company of Oakland, California, brews the Leviathan Imperial Stout, and the Fish Brewing Company of Olympia, Washington, brews the Fish Tale Leviathan Barleywine.
One Response to "Harpoon To Release New 'Big Beer' Series…"
This is fantastic news. Harpoon IPA single-handedly introduced me to good, local beer. While my college buddies were sucking down Natty Ice I was being made fun of for requesting a case of Harpoon.
I have always whined about the lack of big beers from Harpoon. The 100bbl series has always disappointed. Last summer I visited their brewery for the first time and asked if they ever considered an imperial/double IPA as a limited 100bbl release and the guy I spoke to said they had one coming in August. When August rolled around, they released the Wet Hop beer which was disappointing and hardly an imperial.
Regardless, I will always support Harpoon and continue to buy their products. I'm excited to hear about this Leviathan big beer series. I look forward to trying it at the ACBF!

A Visit to Berlin's Abandoned Spreepark
To view more photos and videos from Spreepark, explore the Spreepark Berlin / Kulturpark Plänterwald location page.
Just outside Berlin lies Spreepark, an abandoned East German amusement park. Kulturpark Plänterwald, later known as Spreepark, opened in 1969 and at its peak was host to over a million visitors a year. In 2001, however, only 400,000 people visited the park and it was closed down the following year.
Today, locals and tourists alike risk the trespassing fine to view and capture Spreepark's headless dinosaur sculptures, roller coaster cars filled with leaves and Ferris wheel that spins slowly in the wind. Maxim Mestovsky (@mestovsky), a user experience designer from Minsk, Belarus, recently visited Spreepark on a trip to Berlin and shared his experience on Instagram. "You have to take a train through a mountain and over a lake then climb a fence to get into the park, but when you do, it's beautiful," he says. "The old Ferris wheel creaks, abandoned boats are strewn about. I don't understand why they don't sell tickets still! Maybe that's the charm of the park."

Plan for Mexican restaurant draws La Jolla panel's challenge over parking
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
Puesto Mexican Street Food, a new sidewalk café proposed at 1026 Wall St. in the Village, has been told by La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee they will need assurance of guaranteed parking as well as a Coastal Development Permit for their project.
"What we're asking for is a shared-parking agreement that are recorded documents," said Deborah Marengo, a member of the PDO Committee which is charged with ensuring rules and regulations regarding parking, signage, colors and materials used in building in La Jolla are adhered to.
Shared-parking agreements, added Marengo, are a long-term agreement that sufficient parking will be provided in the long- and short-term.
"If you have an agreement for parking with Ace Parking which manages a parking lot, what if Ace goes away and Sunset comes in?" asked Marengo. "What happens to the management contract?"
Melissa Young, principal designer for studioMYID in an e-mail, said via e-mail, "We are working to fulfill all of the requirements of the La Jolla PDO and are looking forward to the next meeting."
She added that "the Puesto team is excited to bring a new high-end Mexican fast-casual restaurant to La Jolla. Puesto will serve authentic Mexican food with fresh locally grown natural ingredients."
Orrin Gabsch, another PDO committee member, echoed Marengo's concerns, saying several businesses in the Village that have been converted into restaurant space do not have shared-parking agreements in place.
"I see all these current violations going on and nobody's enforcing it," he said.
"If you're going to construct a restaurant in La Jolla, there's nothing even in the PDO that you have to go back and satisfy this requirement (shared parking)," added committee member David Little.
"We need to see a shared-parking agreement that has been properly recorded," agreed PDO chair Ione Stiegler, who added after the meeting the proposed restaurant lies in several overlapping planning zones — coastal, parking impact, transit and La Jolla Community Plan.
"They need more parking and a Coastal Development Permit because of the intensification of use," Stiegler said. "It's the intensification of use that triggered the parking requirement."
Reza Ghasemi, who owns a rug store at 1030 Wall St. adjacent to the proposed restaurant, said he wants more specific information about the development's remodel.
"I'm a next-door neighbor and it's going to affect my business," he said. "I need more details on the railing, the on-site sidewalk café, your ventilation, etc."
Stiegler said the restaurant project would also have to go through La Jolla's Development Permit Review (DPR) Commmittee, as well as the city's coastal development process, before it can be passed along to La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), La Jolla's advisory group to the city on land use, for a final recommendation for or against the project.

Now on to the show. 15th for me, and a very tight one indeed. As mentioned up top, no outlandish jamming, but that was to be expected as this wasn't really a Phish show, but a chance for the unknowing to get a /taste/. When Slightly Stoopid ended, there was alot of stepping in, and random nudging people out of the way to get as close as possible up front, and that was kind of a drag, but not a ruin by any means.
I was hoping for a Tube or a Punch opener, but prepared for a safe one like Runaway. Pleasantly surprised by DWD, great guitar work from Trey. Mike and fish were one during this show as you've probably noticed. Cities and Wolfman's got me thinking that the setlist itself was going to look pretty good on paper. The 2001 officially melted my face, despite it's short nature. the lights are extremely powerful aspect of the show. See some videos online, check it out.
YEM was PHEE-NOMI-NAL! No two ways about it, all 5 guys (inc Koruda) on point and came to throw down. Tramps had my wife stunned (first show for her) and the bass & drums to end it were simply mind-melting. There were points in the show, Hood for example, where they all hit the down beat with a precision rarely seen by a group of musicians; you could feel the stops in music, between beats/notes..Breath-taking. I sincerely hope that alot of people who have not heard of Phish had a chance to wander over and see what it's about.
Texas. Loves. Phish. Plain and /simple/. ALOT of people here would like nothing more than having them coming back to play some more, myself def included! It's not about what you like or don't like about a state, it's about the music. Remember how many memorable shows have taken place in Utah, and most prefer not to step in that state either. There is a ton of support in Texas for them boys!

Report: San Diego housing price ticks up in 4th quarter
City News Service
San Diego and Washington, D.C., were the only major U.S. markets to see a year-over-year increase in housing prices in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index released Tuesday.
The index compares the fluctuation of housing prices against a standard
established 11 years ago.
San Diego's index edged up 1.7 percent in the 2010 fourth quarter, compared to the same period the year before. With a base score set at 100 in January 2000, San Diego's index was at 158.97 in the last quarter of 2010.
The increase for the nation's capital was 4.1 percent from a year earlier.
Los Angeles and San Francisco, which generally gained in recent editions
of the index, were down this time by small margins.
The index as a whole, covering the nation's 20 largest housing markets, fell by 3.9 percent in the last quarter of 2010.
"We ended 2010 with a weak report," said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's. "The National Index is within a percentage point of the low it set in the first quarter of 2009. Despite
improvements in the overall economy, housing continues to drift lower and
Blitzer said California continues to fare much better than other sunbelt
areas. Las Vegas, Miami, Phoenix and Tampa all hit new lows in December.

This was changed in [9883551d50e].
Interesting use case, which is currently not tested in Django. Having the coerced value not in choices is a bit of a corner case (and not clearly documented), but I admit this might be considered as a regression.
I'll see if I can come up with a fix which is not too invasive...
In any case, the documentation will have to be clarified on this point.

- Has patch set
Attached a patch with a possible fix. Test suite passes with SQLite. I'll let other core developers judge if this warrants to be added in a stable release.
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by claudep
Thinking a bit more about this, I think that it's too risky to push my patch in the 1.6 stable branch. We can document the regression in the 1.6 release notes, but you will probably have to create a custom field to workaround the issue until the next release.
Please, next time try to test your project with beta or at least RC releases, so we can catch those issues before the official release.

Hi, no problem. I just test my project with 1.6 release. I create custom field.

- Severity changed from Release blocker to Normal
- Triage Stage changed from Accepted to Ready for checkin
While you did a great job at putting a non-invasive patch together I'm not sure we should commit to backport it.
First because it doesn't meet any of the policy criterias and second because it concerns an undocumented and corner use case.
IMHO the small risk of introducing another regression, there's a small one given the original to_python override, is not worth the backport.
On the other hand -- apart the missing a release note -- the patch looks RFC for master.
comment:7 Changed 3 years ago by claudep
Proposal for a 1.6 release note addition (misc backwards incompatibilities):
* Due to a change in the form validation workflow, :class:`~django.forms.TypedChoiceField` ``coerce`` method should always return a value present in the ``choices`` field attribute. That limitation should be lift again in Django 1.7.
Does it look sane?

A new study in the Journal Pediatrics finds infants born at 37 or 38 weeks, who are technically "at term," have an increased risk of developmental delays or other medical difficulties. Researchers analyzed data from 128 thousand babies in New York City and matched their birth records with their 3rd Grade math and reading tests. They found achievement scores for children born at 37 and 38 weeks were significantly lower than those of children born at 39, 40 and 41 weeks. Scientists say the infant brain grows rapidly in the last weeks of gestation.
Also, drug maker GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to pay a whopping three billion dollars to settle criminal and civil claims over some of its medications. It's the largest fraud settlement in US history and the largest payment ever by a drug company. The Justice Department had accused the company of marketing some of its drugs as treatments for conditions they weren't approved for. It also accused GlaxoSmithKline of failing to report safety information concerning its diabetes medication, Avandia. In a statement, the company's CEO Andrew Witty said the company regrets what happened and has learned from the mistakes it made.

School officials cited to court
DANVILLE - The principal and superintendent of schools for Danville High School have been cited into criminal court on charges of failure to report child abuse, as well as neglect of duty by a public officer
According to a news release issued Monday by Detective Trooper Lyle Decker, on May 8, the Vermont State Police received a report from the Department of Children and Families about a Danville High School student who had reported to have been inappropriately touched twice by a school teacher on April 29.
Detectives with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation began an investigation, and learned that the incident was initially reported to Noah Noyes, the Danville High School principal. Noyes subsequently advised Martha Tucker, Caledonia Central Supervisory Union superintendent, of the student's accusation.
Neither Noyes nor Tucker reported the incident to DCF, as required by law as mandated reporters within 24 hours, according to Decker.
Instead, DCF learned of the April 29 incident on May 8, through the student's parents and immediately called the Vermont State Police.
The allegation of inappropriate contact between the teacher and the student is still under investigation; details are not being released. No other comment was available on Monday.
Noyes and Tucker were cited to court and released.

Miracle On 34th Lane: A Foreclosure Story's Happy Ending
For Julio Bermudez, this Christmas is going to be merrier than most: He won't lose his Hiahleah Gardens, Fla., home to foreclosure.
We previously wrote about Bermudez, whom we met last October in the Dade County Courthouse's foreclosure proceedings. In the crowded courtroom, Magaly Cervantes, Bermudez's longtime partner, stood out because her eyes were red and puffy from several days of crying.
The couple fell behind on their mortgage two years ago. Last August, they applied for and were granted a loan modification from J.P. Morgan Chase, which services the mortgage for the three-bedroom condo on West 34th Lane. Since then, they had not missed the $659.30 payment, but they still received a letter saying Chase foreclosed and the home was sold online. No one, including the judge, could do anything.
But, after inquiries from The Wall Street Journal, Chase discovered it made a mistake. It apologized and the couple received a new loan for $239,000 with payments of nearly $1,000 for five years, Bermudez says. (The payments, which started in December, climb to $1,100 for two years and settle at $1,200, he adds.) Chase wasn't immediately available for comment.
The tears have stopped. "Everybody in my family's happy," Bermudez says.

Keith Urban's first post-surgery performance will happen Friday, Feb. 3, at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Keith underwent successful vocal surgery late last year for a polyp that had developed on a vocal cord. At the time, the singer's surgery was described as "an out-patient procedure [that], while minor, will require complete voice rest followed by an undetermined period of recuperation," according to a statement on the Aussie entertainer's official website [1].
Keith will appear again at the Grand Ole Opry House on Friday, March 9.

The oldest son of nine siblings, Jafar Siddiq Hamzah loved to watch courtroom dramas on state-run television, and in 1991 graduated from law school at Amir Hamzah University in the North Sumatran city of Medan.
"He said, 'Indonesian law is like a spiderweb. It just catches the small animals, but never tries to get a big animal.' That's why he really wanted to be a lawyer," recalled his sister.
Friends describe Hamzah as a man who smiled often, took pride in his recipe for fried rice, and worked tirelessly as an attorney for the Legal Aid Institute in Medan. His assignments included documenting government abuses and representing people too poor to afford to pay for legal help -- including alleged members of GAM.
According to Zahara, her brother was targeted by the military and police after publicly protesting when of six of his clients burned to death in prison. Arsonists torched his office, but he continued working until the end of 1996, when neighbors reported that his family home in Lhokseumawe was under surveillance, and that three truckloads of soldiers visited his home in Medan.
Hamzah fled with his wife to New York City, where he started a human rights organization, the International Forum for Aceh (IFA), and drove a cab part-time while pursuing a master's degree of political science at the New School for Social Research.
Under his leadership from 1998 through 2000, the IFA lobbied the U.S. government on its Indonesia policy, and sponsored international education and peace conferences in Bangkok, Washington, D.C., New York City and Aceh. The conferences were the first events to bring the Indonesian government and GAM to the same forum.
Former IFA director Robert Jereski said that Hamzah also started looking for avenues to bring a lawsuit against Mobil for human rights violations committed by soldiers deployed to protect natural gas facilities.
"Within fifteen minutes of meeting him," recalled Jessica Rucell, a classmate at the New School, "he said, 'Okay, we're going to start a student group, it'll be great! We'll have panel discussions, movies, students writing their congressmen ... It doesn't matter if they don't know about Aceh and Indonesia, we'll tell them!'"
Hamzah, meanwhile, came upon the Alien Tort Claims Act of 1781, a law used recently by human rights groups to bring charges of human rights violations against corporations and government officials around the world.
Jereski said Hamzah had started to organize for a similar lawsuit in his homeland, and not long after began receiving death threats.
Though Jereski often saw his friend brush aside safety concerns, there were two emailed threats that Hamzah took seriously.
Jereski saved the e-mails. One, claiming to be from an Acehnese women's student group, read, "... we don't need to bring MOI [Mobil Oil Indonesia] to International Court ... Do what ever you wish, but remember!! Death is waiting you Mr JAFAR."
In the summer of 2000, Hamzah returned to home to open a branch of the International Forum for Aceh, and work on The Voice of Atjeh, the English-Acehnese newspaper he first started in 1999.
After traveling to Medan, the third largest city in Indonesia, he feared he was being followed, and Zahara recalled he kept in constant cell phone contact with his family and friends.
Suddenly, after more than a month in Indonesia, the phone calls stopped.
On August 5, Hamzah was kidnapped from a busy Medan street. Worried friends in New York called their congressional representatives; his sister traveled to Medan to search for him.
Three weeks later, the Los Angeles Times reported the discovery of his body -- stripped, wrapped in barbed wire and almost unrecognizably mutilated -- along with four others in a ravine 50 miles outside the city.

Both of the families we have featured in this series say they are overwhelmed with the support they not only receive from their friends and family and even the military, but even strangers.
Lt. Col. Britt Watson says there has never been a time when he hasn't received positive support from the community.
"People are very sensitive to what's going on and they seem to know when husbands and wives are deployed," said Watson. "And they seem to rally around the families and I think that's very different. You know, a lot of families don't get that in the military."
"I'm overwhelmed by the level of support Meridian gives the military," said Lt. Col. Craig Ziemba. "I tell people there's no other town in America this size that contributes as much to national defense as we do."
And while having a lot of support makes life a little easier at home, it still doesn't take away the fear associated with deploying on a mission, especially when you're being sent to a place where tensions are high.
But Watson says there is fear in everyday life and that it is something you deal with. That can be tough though when children are involved.
"Especially one of the children really asks a lot of questions about dying," said Britt's wife, Kelli Watson. "I don't know if he overheard us talking about some stuff, but it was unsettling for a 4-year old to ask if his daddy is going to die. But now he's fine."
And both families say they are fine with living a simple life for the time being.

Atlanta, Georgia–based Church's Chicken has partnered with NAI Global, a Princeton, New Jersey–based corporate and commercial real estate services provider, to target new sites for franchise expansion in Philadelphia, Denver, and Seattle as well as bolster the chain's presence throughout Texas and Los Angeles.
"It is a soup-to-nuts level of service for our franchisees on our behalf," says Doug Pendergast, Church's executive vice president and chief franchise officer.
NAI, which has 375 offices in 55 countries, and Church's franchise development, he explains, will work together to assist franchisees in locating new store sites for either conversion of existing buildings or the construction of new restaurants.
"We will lead the effort to identify the target markets and high-potential trade areas," Pendergast says. "Then, NAI Commercial Jacksonville [Florida] will take the lead, find sites, and help franchisees negotiate the price of those sites. NAI will be an extension of our internal real estate department."
Although the main goals of the collaborative effort are to blaze new trails and continue to "build out and defend our strong holds in markets like, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles," according to Pendergast, equally important is protecting the interests of franchisees.
"We have to make sure our franchisees are getting attractive returns on investments, whether it's through the building conversion program, the relationship with NAI, or a program that uses remanufactured equipment," Pendergast says. "These things are designed to protect the franchisees' return on investment. The better their return, the more restaurants they open and that drives our fees and our royalties."
In 2007, Church's set a company record for total restaurant openings in a single year (59 restaurants in the United States and 40 restaurants internationally). It now operates more than 1,600 locations in 19 countries with sales exceeding $1 billion.
As a rule of thumb, says Pendergast, Church's strives to secure 20 percent of the quick-serve restaurant chicken segment in a given market to "feel like we have a sufficient scale."
"We are going to want to help the franchisees and those who are there develop those markets so they can get to critical mass," he adds. "If we only had two restaurants in Philly, we are no different than a mom and pop. The quantity of restaurants we open depends on the market. Critical mass in Memphis is different in Philly."
In fact, Church's just completed converting a former Payless Shoe store in Philadelphia into a restaurant that also houses a Dairy Queen. Ideal footprints for freestanding restaurant locations, according to the company, range from 800 to 2,200 square feet.
"Visibility and access to the site are also key factors, and well over half of the restaurants we open in a given year are conversions," Pendergast says. "The returns on investment have been impressive, compared to a new facility." Added value and even greater return on investment come from converting facilities that were once occupied by other quick-serves, allowing Church's to reuse the existing equipment in that facility.
Although there is no specific time frame for the relationship between NAI and Church's, the chicken chain has already opened 65 restaurants this year, with the largest number in the Houston and San Antonio areas.
Chuck White, CEO of NAI Jacksonville, says NAI's global reach will allow Church's to concentrate on new and existing store opportunities.
"This is exposure for Church's and exposure for NAI Commercial Jacksonville," White says. "It's very positive for us to land an account like this because we get to know so many people within our network. There are a whole lot of inherent things that we can put on our collective resume because of this relationship."
White estimates that there are 10 to 15 franchise deals in the works in the United States, and NAI is assembling a team that will explore and intensify Church's international reach.
Church's already operates franchises in Canada and several Latin and South American countries, including Costa Rica, Guyana, and Venezuela. Church's Texas Chicken brand chain can also be found in Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Russia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. And according to www.churchs.com, Texas Chicken will soon open in India.
"They are good to work with and very realistic with their processes and what's involved," NAI's White says. "We are off to a great start."

The Wild Swans at Coole
by W.B. Yeats
The Wild Swans at Coole Sadness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air; (19-21)
The swans are "unwearied," and the speaker, in contrast, seems very weary—tired, worn out, kind of sad. He's also alone, while these swans go "lover by lover." More sadness for our poor speaker.
Quote #5
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?" (27-30)
When the swans leave, the speaker will be deprived of something that "[d]elight[s]" him. Even though the speaker loves the swans, he also seems sad at the possibility that they might abandon him. In a way, even something beautiful and wonderful can cause sadness by its absence.

Bollywood condoles death of gangrape victim Last Updated : 29 Dec 2012 12:51:25 PM IST File photo: Amitabh Bachchan
Bollywood on Saturday took to twitter and expressed their grief over the demise of 23-year-old para medical student, who died in Singapore hospital in the morning.
The girl was gangraped and brutally assaulted in a Delhi bus a fortnight ago.
The first one to took to twitter was Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Big B wrote, 'Amanat', 'Damini' just a name now .. her body has passed away, but her soul shall shall forever stir our hearts !!!
Actor Anupam Kher tweeted, "This is Death of Human Dignity, Death of Being an Indian, Death of Innocence and This is also Death of A System. India is Heart Broken. RIP."
Abhishek Bachchan wrote, "I have always been a very proud Indian. Today, we should ALL be ashamed. Will it always take an innocents death for a nation to awake? This is not the country I grew up in as a child, this is not the country I want my daughter to know whilst she grows up!."
Singer Lata Mangeshkar said, "Enough is enough. It is not the death of Nirbhay Damini but the death of humanity in our country. It is time for the government to wake up from its deep slumber and punish the criminals behind this heinous crime."
Gul Panag wrote, "Woke up to news I have been dreading. May our Hero rest in peace, and may God give her family strength."
Actor Manoj Bajpayee tweeted," With her death this country died many deaths!may she rest in peace !very depressing moment for the entire country."
Veteran actress Shabana Azmi, who has been very vocal on the issue, tweeted, "And SHE PASSES AWAY in S'pore RIP. Our impotence stares us in the face. May SHE become the wakeup call our country needs. We must soulsearch
"Safety of women is a prerequisite of a civilised society. We do not want to be deified as goddesses we want equality we demand respect. It is time to reflect, to analyse, to soul search how each segment has been culpable and led to a mindset that makes man treat woman like property (sic)."
Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur said, "Her greatest betrayal is that we will forget. Political system's greatest hope is we will forget. Our only redemption is if we do not forget."
Mahesh Bhatt: "Shut all temples where you pretend to worship the female form. Cry India! Your hands are drenched with the blood of your own daughters. Woman your silence will not protect you. Speak or be silenced forever. Rage."
Table mastro Zakir Hussain tweeted," My heart goes out to the family of the rape victim girl, I pray that her passing will not be in vain,it is time to look at the devil in us..."
Pritish Nandy wrote, " I do not know her name. I do not know her religion. All I know is that we are all responsible for her death.... "
He further added' "If this one death teaches us all to be more humane, more compassionate, it would be but a lesson learnt... "
Actress Sonam Kapoor wrote, "Please don't let her tragic death be in vain. RIP"
Payal Rohatgi tweeted,"Just got up to this news.I wanted her to live. She was so brave.I want the culprits DEAD. She didn't deserve this.Rest in peace."
Director Madhur Bhandarkar tweeted, "RIP Damini, today is a dark day in our democracy. We should pledge not to let dust settle on this fight till the end."
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap said, "I am ashamed.. And sorry. And angry."
Ajay Devgn twitted,"Why does someone need to be sacrificed to start a revolution? I hope her sacrifice is not in vain!."
Farhan Akhtar wrote: "Numb. All political parties unwilling to take action against their own members who have insulted and degraded women with sexist comments. Question is if they can't keep their house clean, how can we expect them to clean society?."
Actor Boman Irani posted, "She was like a soldier of revolution. If forgotten, the shame on us is greater than the one's we accuse!."
Akshay Kumar tweeted, "Our fighter lost the battle of life. Her only fault, she ventured out of the house at night, walking the streets of the national capital expecting to be safe. The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night is when India will be truly independent. RIP democracy!"
Karan Johar wrote, "RIP to a brave girl who fought in a weak and paralysed country... shame on all of us!."
Actress Bipasha Basu said, "Disheartened and disturbed! Rip the braveheart girl!."
Actor Arjun Rampal tweeted, "Amanat has died and has left this country to hang its head down in shame. I sincerely do hope there will be redemption for her soul."
Actor Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, "Just heard the braveheart girl is no more. True fighter. Sad it takes a tragedy for us to wake up. Prayers with the family."
Actress Dia Mirza said, "RIP dear one. I feel like a part of me died today."

Let this brave girl\\\'s soul rest in peace. But we Indians should not sleep till a total change to the attitude of people changes towards women. It is a shame on all of us that we are letting the criminals go scot free and there are many more Ram Singhs amongst the public too. So let us all join hands and see that strict measures are taken against even the smallest of the smallest crimes against women - so that this type tragic incidents will never happen. What to talk of progress and development of India where people have no respect for ae0dewomen. Do they not think twice when they have their own sisters and mother and this is a stage where we are heading towards self-destruction of the country. These criminals should be hanged to death in public so that it will create fear atleast as they do not respect women or treat them with humanity and dignity.

Let her rest in peace but we have to fight against such atrocities done on women.

very friendly staff are courteous I'm very helpful
everything was just fine on nothing in particular that we didn't like
Rude customer service from the hotel manager, was charged 9$ for a hand towel BEFORE CHECKOUT! none of the appliances in the hotel work and when i asked if they could bring me working items, it was a no you can go to the breakfast room which is on the end
Room started out ice cold. Woke up later sweating. WIFI didn't work.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Dude. 1362g of bud would last me at least week.
Grow your own and fug everybody else.
you gonna fight that?
If something can be taxed, it should be legal. Simple as that.
this makes no sense.
I'm going to do everything I can, but I don't know that I'll be that successful.
how can they tax for something that is illegal?
I had a buddy about 10 years ago, who got arrested with a similar amount and owed taxes on it as well. He got pulled over for an expired tag and the cops detained him while they waited on a Dept of Revenue agent. They seized his Audi, as payment, right there on the spot.
so what has your attorneys said?
why are you getting screwed for something you didnt do?
im still confused.
Our government is ass backwards
so what has your attorneys said?
why are you getting screwed for something you didnt do?
im still confused.
Read the end of the "just got out of jail thread". I pleaded "no contest" to PWIMSD Marijuana. Reason being that I got a pretty good deal out of it, 18months of unsupervised probation.
They were using text messages concerning my legitimate website business, which is a registered LLC, concerning money and delivery times on projects, as evidence against me, among other things. Jury trials are always a crap shoot, more often than not, if you are offered a good plea agreement you take it because you never know how a jury trial will turn out and if you lose your sentence is almost NEVER suspended in favor of prison.

The Price China Will Have to Pay
China's decision to relax its dollar peg, to where we might see a modest appreciation of the yuan over the coming months, may be what the markets want. [Read our coverage here.]
Unfortunately, China's imbalances are so great that the sort of revaluation announced yesterday is unlikely to be any more useful than handing out bailing buckets would have been on the Titanic. This isn't to say the Chinese economy is a sinking ship… yet. But the iceberg is looming and these delicate adjustments of the rudder won't be enough to avoid a collision.
Peking University's Michael Pettis has, over the years, offered some of the most extensive and intelligent analysis of China's lopsided economy on his China Financial Markets blog. His thoughts are worth summarizing as a guide to the near intractable problems the Chinese authorities now face. I'll try not to misrepresent him here.
China has, for a long time, focused on export-oriented growth. Official policy has been highly mercantilist, according to economists like Princeton's Paul Krugman. To that end, China has instituted a beggar-thy-neighbor currency policy; it has pegged the yuan at such a level that its major trading partners, particularly the U.S., cannot compete on price.
The result has been huge trade surpluses, worth some 0.6% to 0.7% of global GDP, and easily the biggest recorded anywhere during the past century, according to Pettis.
The only comparable surpluses were those in the U.S. during the 1920s, which totaled around 0.4% of global GDP, and Japan during the 1980s, which totaled 0.5% of GDP. But the U.S. and Japan accumulated their surpluses on the back of economies that, respectively, totaled 30% and 15% of global GDP. China has managed its with an economy little more than half of Japan's relative size during its 1980s zenith.
Normally, China's massive trade surplus would have put upward pressure on its currency or, given the currency is pegged, on inflation.
It is true that Chinese consumer prices have been rising sharply from last summer's bout of deflation. By some estimates, inflation could come in at double the Chinese government's 3% target by the end of the year. While this sort of inflation rate, in combination with a currency appreciation, should erode China's terms of trade somewhat, and therefore reduce its trade surplus, this is probably a case of far too little, far too late.
For one thing, one of the major reasons China's inflation rate has been relatively low is down to the Chinese government's industrial policy.
Chinese households are significant savers, in part because the housing bubble has forced people to set aside large chunks of their income as they struggle to build up enough capital to buy into the boom. Savings are held in bank deposits, the interest rates on which are set at derisory levels.
The effect of these large and low-yielding savings has been a massive subsidy to borrowers and not enough domestic consumption to trigger a serious bout of inflation. In China, the major borrowers are real-estate developers and businesses and state enterprises devoted to infrastructure and export-oriented industries. Pettis estimates that between 5% and 10% of GDP is annually transferred from households to borrowers.
The vast pool of productive capacity China has created has helped to drive its trade boom. But it has also created a serious problem. An enormous amount of this industrial capacity is uneconomical. Capital has been vastly under-priced, even at these low interest rates.
What happened to the other two major surplus countries–the U.S. of the 1920s and Japan of the 1980s–suggests the resolution of China's overcapacity problem won't be neat and it won't be smooth.
Eventually there will be a reckoning; a sudden and massive series of defaults by domestic borrowers that won't be able to raise the income to cover borrowing costs, even at China's depressed levels. Remember, many real-estate investors in China keep their assets empty.
Funding costs are covered by either further borrowing or by other sources of income. But when asset prices start to fall, as they will, these costs become crippling.
Although Pettis stops short of predicting a catastrophic outcome for the Chinese economy, it's hard to see a neat resolution. Eventually, China will be faced with the same destruction of capital that laid the U.S. and Japan low for years after their own booms. And a slightly more expensive yuan won't stop that course.

After nearly three decades in the garden of mormonism, I finally realized I wanted something more than comfort. And so, I departed.
In the world, but not of the world
First I found myself at General Conference (I went with my family). I blended in. I hummed along without thinking. I had to restrain myself from raising my arm during the sustaining votes (it's still such an automatic response!). Beforehand I wondered if I'd be angered, or inspired (in spite of myself). Instead -- I was mostly just bored. It seemed like two hours of mush that boiled down to...largely underwhelming platitudes. Through it all, I noticed the contrast in my feelings: externally comfortable, internally disconnected. It was like visiting a former home now inhabited by strangers.
Then, in the evening, I joined up with some friends at a bar. In contrast to the earlier experience, I did not blend in (most girls at the bar were decked out for a night on the town, while I wore no jewelry or make-up and a rather frumpy outfit). Initially I had a burst of extroverted animation, but as the night progressed I found myself forcing interest in drinking stories I couldn't relate to, increasingly exhausted by my efforts to make small talk. I was conscious of my awkwardness, ashamed by my vulnerability. I felt neither externally nor internally comfortable.
Somehow these two experiences remind me of a rebroadcasted This American Life show I just heard for the first time. The story was about two grown women who learned - in their 40's - that they had been switched at birth. The revelation helped explain why both girls seemed so different from the families in which they were raised; but rather than resolve the dissonance, it exacerbated their feelings of disconnectedness. The knowledge seemed to make both women feel separated - not only from one family, but from two.
Similarly, I feel so disjointed. I am connected to the non-Mormon world by values and pursuits; and I am connected to the Mormon world by language, understanding and long-ingrained habits (e.g. modesty). Yet rather than feel at home with one group or the other - I just feel out-of-place with both. I feel like a refugee and an imposter. And I feel sad.

I'm glad you decided to attend General Conference with your family, given the circumstances. It was an important weekend for your family, and I'm sure they appreciated your presence and support.

I must say that I feel exactly the same way. I'm (was) a mormon from Brazil (born and raised). I don't remember how did I found your blog, but here I am... :)
I have a blog, also. And its about mormonism too. What a shame it is in portuguese, and you will not be able to read it, I think.
I just want to say that I feel we, dissenters, have this burden to carry: we are partly mormons, and we are partly "from the world". I have the same experience in dealing with non-members, it is like I am kind of mormon near them, very different from what they are. And when I am with my mormon friends, it is like I am not one of them anymore. Weird situations, weird feelings.

I'm catching up to your posts and I really related to this one. It's hard feeling like no place is really 'home'. I haven't found an answer either to that problem but all I can say is that I definitely understand.

I was lucky enough to not be raised a Utah mormon. Transition for me out of the church has been easier because of that... I think (despite the insane rantings of my parents and inlaws). I'm sorry you feel displaced, I can only imagine things will get better over time for you.

Also, I just wanted to say, I'm sure people didn't look at you like an outsider in the bar. Being raised mormon, I was constantly comparing myself to others and, I hate to say it, judging people for appearance, language, etc.
The good news is that most people don't see you and think, "Gee, that girl is modest, she doesn't fit in." My experience is that people don't care. You can be yourself, even if that is bringing some of the things like how you were raised to dress with you to social events.
Most people are cool with who you are, but I think a mormon upbringing trains you to constantly compare yourself and your appearance to the appearance of others.
- May 1, 2012 at 11:25 PM
reading this post I feel that I can really relate to what you're going through! I was raised mormon and am now agnostic and I find that I often don't feel like I truly fit completely in either world and it makes you feel like you are a women without a country. I am now a mother and am struggeling with raising my kids ethically and morally without religion in a very mormon conservative community and it can be very challenging. Good luck to you, awesome post!

I really love this post. In social situations I often find the same thing. Others notice my "weirdness"... Not fitting into either world is often annoying.

We may well be the ones Proverbs warns when it reminds us: "Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks the truth." The point is clear: If the people speak and the king doesn't listen, there is something wrong with the king. If the king acts precipitously and the people say nothing, something is wrong with the people.

No Far Left Wingers! Lets take a look at some of the most obsessive countries in well ever. East German Stasi Police Force, Soviet Union, under Gaddafi Libya called itself " Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" Jamahiriya meant State of the Masses". Moa, how many million no one really knows. I know the left likes to separate it self from National Socialism but Fascism is defined as: "often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition". Then lets look at N. Korea, you know if you try to leave the hole not only do you go to prison but so does your children and now the Administration of Barack Obama, spying on its own people attacking political opponents with the IRS, are you sure you want to be associated with the left.
What the US Gov't is learning from this is not the big worry-
Doubtlessly China and other major powers are also hacking into this data-base to learn who their citizens are talking to!
Got lots of eyes on us, some of them are private enterprise eyes.
Only the Right has been close to National Socialism not the Left.
Many, many years ago, the political spectrum ran from Anarchy to Totalitarianism. The average man on the street did no better under Stalin than he did under Hitler. On the other end, neither does the average Somalian, I suspect.
Right, explain the IRS, the AP, the over 1.6 Billion rounds of ammunition bought by Homeland, NSA, The FBI use of drones on U.S. soil, GSA and IRS spending scandals, then Obama's recent comments in Ireland.
Strong central control mixed with Religious Bigotry.
The DHS carries guns do they not? They shoot them periodically don't they? They practice with them? However I am against the concept of the DHS. Don't like the FBI as it was created an has operated over the years.
By "religious bigotry" you mean Christians over all else, I would agree.
One can have strong state control and it will still be tyranny. Just closer to home.
National Socialism which is just a name not what they were. But I have seen where Republicans are fine with Socialism for the rich and Corporate which makes it Fascism.
All the 1984 talk coming around again reminds me of the real 1984 and Reagan's use of "Newspeak", like in calling the MX (missile expensive) missile the "Peacekeeper". Then there was Iran-Contra, the lies, the convictions, and other minor criminality in the reign of "The Acting President", which is a very good book on the subject BTW.
^^Gore Bane: Jesus only preached for two years, and that's also ancient history that still greatly affects folks today. Reagan/ Bush 41/Bush 43 preached their message for 20 years, and that history isn't ancient, but will continue to plague us for decades yet to come, with debt, war costs (human and economic) and environmental damage caused by the pursuit of profit for the "corporate sector", where spying on us is MUCH more active due to laws they passed, and regulations they wrote. (And yes, I know some Democrats can share the blame for opening the door to electronic spying and data mining from the internet, and other sources.)
Over 50 countries are now building and expanding their use of drones, which give "real time" data that can actually in large part be derived from satellite imagery. Intelligence gathering is indeed what police, and smaller units of government want to use drones for. Our citizenry accepting this intrusion on our rights should ask the question: "Is our population the REAL problem; of BEING drones?"

Definición de tangent en inglés:
- He noticed that he could draw three straight lines, or tangents, that each touched all three circles.
- Since normals to a straight line never intersect and tangents coincide with the curve, evolutes, involutes and pedal curves are not too interesting.
- One of his most important results explains how the 28 double tangents of the plane quadric are related to the 27 straight lines of the cubic surface.
- Look at that, we started with the opening credits and I went off on a tangent.
- Otherwise, people will start going off on different tangents, and you can't have that.
- Thankfully, he went off on a different tangent.
- The first tabulates logarithms of the sine, cosine, tangent and cotangent functions at 1 intervals and shows how to solve triangles using logarithmic functions.
- The proof needs another formula about tangents of angles that we have not covered on the Pi and the Fibonacci Numbers page.
- If the tangent of an angle is a/b then the cotangent of that angle is b/a.
- Smooth infinitesimal analysis embodies a concept of intensive magnitude in the form of infinitesimal tangent vectors to curves.
- Construct two tangent circles 1 and 2 and the line L through their centers.
- The Kummer surface has 16 isolated conical double points and 16 singular tangent planes and was published in 1864.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- Depending on the geometry type, you can preserve projection, plane, position, tangency, curvature, and any valid combination of these characteristics.
- For complementary resources, this combination is also the point of tangency between an isocline and the constraint curve.
- Two tangents of a parabola are divided into segments of like proportion by a third and this third is divided in the same proportion by its point of tangency.
Late 16th century (in sense 3 of the noun and as an adjective): from Latin tangent- 'touching', from the verb tangere.
tact from mid 17th century:
Tact in early examples referred to the sense of touch. It comes from Latin tactus 'touch, sense of touch', from tangere 'to touch'. The word developed a notion of 'sensitivity' and in the late 18th century gained its modern sense 'delicacy in dealing with others'. The Latin source also gave the English word tactile which in the early 17th century meant 'perceptible by touch', and tangible (late 16th century). Tangent (late 16th century), first used in geometry to mean 'touching', is also from tangere.

While the San Diego Padres were beating the Mets in exciting fashion, Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was going for a perfect game against the Cleveland Indians. Galarraga, a not so exceptional pitcher (career 4.62 ERA, 5.19 FIP), was apparently on, as he retired the first 26 Tigers in order.
The fateful play was a groundball (the 14th that Galarraga had induced) hit towards first base by Indians shortstop Jason Donald. Galarraga covered and took the throw from first basemen Miguel Cabrera. It was a bang-bang play. Upon further review, however, it is clear that Donald was out.
There were a few issues I wanted to cover. Dave Cameron, via Twitter, said this:
Wondering if anyone on earth would object to MLB just retroactively revoking the call and crediting Galarraga with an official perfect game.
While I respect Cameron's opinion tremendously, and my earthly residence may be in question, I certainly object to his scenario.
First off, I'm not sure if it is worth retroactively "getting it right." I understand that we want to record what actually happens, and Donald surely was out, but is it worth it after the fact? A game happens, and then it is over. We can't, nor shouldn't, go back and change things around after the fans have left the ballpark or turned their TV sets off, and the players have left the field.
Secondly, and more importantly, umpires are part of the game. Just like players, they make mistakes, and just the Bill Buckner, sometimes they happen at the most inopportune times. We can further extrapolate on the Bucker example, saying that, for example, that groundball that famously shot under his legs should have been an out 95% of the time. Then 95% of the time the Red Sox *should* have won the World Series in 1986.
Of course, comparing a player's gaff to one of an umpire is, to a large degree, apples and oranges. Players play the game, and their mistakes are meant to have an impact on a game's outcome. Umpires are merely present to enforce the rules of the game and ensure fair play. However, we can't expect them to be perfect. Perhaps on the call Jim Joyce missed, the first base umpire nails correctly 95% of the time. This time, Joyce missed it. If it happened in the 5th inning of a normal, 5-2 game, nobody would have noticed. Like Bucker, Joyce chose precisely the wrong time to make his mistake.
Further, on twitter (and blog posts), people were, once again, clamoring for instant replay. I guess I'm in the minority amongst the sabermetrically-inclined, but I am not a big fan of instant replay.
First, the practical issues. Does each team get a certain number of replay attempts, like the NFL? Is there an official replay umpire that reviews every call? Can every single call be reviewed? What about balls and strikes? Regardless of the actual process, the game would undoubtedly be slowed even further.
More so than that, however, consider the philosophical issue touched on above. When I'm watching a football game, there's nothing more frustrating than a clear touchdown that needs to be reviewed, just in case the ball didn't break the plane. Sure, the idea is to get it right, but I don't want to hedge my celebration because an inevitable replay is forthcoming.
What I'm trying to say is that a game happens in real-time, I want my results in real-time. On every close, game-deciding call at first base or home plate, I don't want to have to wait for replay to tell me what happened.
Umpires have been part of the game since its inception. I understand that technology is advancing, and the baseball should too. The equipment has changed, the fields have changed, the style of play has changed. But it has always been played by humans (it, at times, chemically advanced ones), officiated by humans. The umpires, just like the players, have been making mistakes for years. They are part of the game.
The baseball gods allowed Armando Galarraga, a middling pitcher who, let's face it, has no place throwing a no hitter in the Major Leagues, get within one out of perfection — immortality. Perhaps fittingly, they took it away when Joyce missed a close call at first. Galarraga was locked in, probably like never before, showing that anything can happen when humans play baseball. Joyce responded by missing a call that he probably gets right most every time, showing that anything is possible when humans umpire baseball.

|Trailridge Runners 4WD Club
Hubbard Cave Trip
by Ray Comeau
I need to tell one story before another, Two years ago Gene King took a few of the Trailridge Runners on a much different outing to Glennwood Springs CO. to view a cave called Hubbard Cave. It would be a trip like no other. The group drove the 4 mile dirt road to the cave, hiked the 1/4 mile hike to the entrance only NOT to find the cave location. After a disappointing hike we left the area and went down the 4 mile dirt road and most everyone went on to do other trails in the area over the two day stay.
My wife Wanda and I parted from the group and went to visit family who lived in the area. We learned from this visit, after a nice talk to one of the locals we were very close to the cave if we had walked just a little bit farther around the trail on the mountain. So the next day we returned, Wanda and I found the cave and spent about 1-1/2 hours in the cave exploring.
Fast forward two years, I scheduled another return trip to Hubbard Cave to share our finding with our TRR friends to show how great the cave is. Hubbard Cave is a self guided cave located on top of cliffs overlooking Glenn Wood Canyon.
Saturday morning started out like most all other TRR trips, up early to meet friends in Golden at 8:00am for the drive up I-70 heading west threw our gorgeous Colorado mountains. Like most of us, I have driven this highway many times but never get tired of the views and scenery along the way. We are blessed to live in such a gorgeous state.
With us this morning, traveling with Wanda and I, is Roger and Linda, Larry McGimsey, Gene Francis and Vic Walter. We drove the 3 hour trip to Glennwood with no issues, the weather could not be any better, blue skies and the traffic was great. On this trip I decided to leave the Jeep at home and take the Suburban, so the ride was great. Vic decided to leave his Jeep at home and ride along with Wanda and I.
We arrived in Glenn Wood Springs at 11:00am, other TRR members had traveled to the area the day before and we all met at a local restaurant for lunch.
The second TRR group is Brian, Jamie, and Lilly Gilgren, Gail Straty and friend Laura, Rich, Cathy, Aaron and Jordan Horiuchi.
It was time, belly's filled we hit the road, the trip to the trail head was quick, after a GPS error (my excuse anyway) and having to back track some we started up the 4 mile 4x4 road to Hubbard Cave, with Wanda remembering the correct pathway we traveled along the narrow Colorado pin stripping road, yes this trail had many bushes that scrape along a bus size suburban like finger nails on a chalk board. Brian had borrowed his parents Jeep for this trip, due to the Jeep only being one year old, and not his Jeep he decided to turn around and head back down the trail so not to damage the borrowed Jeep.
I should mention we had seen a very large sign along the 4x4 road about the Hubbard Cave Closure, I had done some research days before the scheduled trip and new caves in Colorado where being closed for public access due to White Nose Syndrome, but found nothing that Hubbard Cave was closed in 2012 due to this. WNS is a disease that effects bats, I will not go into it in this write up.
Along the trail, it seemed like it had not been traveled much and we had some trail maintenance to do. Three trees had fallen over the trail, Larry and Richard had saws and we took turnes cutting. After a few minutes of sweat and moving logs we headed down the trail. After about 1-1/2 hours we reached the small pull out area where we parked our rigs.
After reading the large sign at the entrance of the trail head, we thought we would go ahead and walk to the cave but not go in, it was disappointing to know we could not enter the cave, but we come this far so why not take the 1/4 mile hike to see the cave entrance and the view from the top of Glenn Wood Canyon.
At this point I felt like Walt Grizwald played by Chevy Chase in the 1983 movie vacation and after a long drive Wally Park was closed. The group packed water and snacks in back packs and off we went, well we walked around a corner for about 40 yards. Another large sign and a buck and rail fence had been built to keep foot traffic off the trail. After some arrived Friday evening and those of us who traveled this day, it all came to a standstill. We came close but could not go any further. The sign mentioned a $5,000 fine per person who were caught entering the area or $10,000 per group. Well we all looked in our wallets and just come up short of paying the fine. So with great regret, we took a few pictures of the group at the nice sign and headed up the long 40 yard walk to our rigs.
There MIGHT be a blessing in this sad story. Above us the blue sky was turning dark, the rain clouds looked like huge giant mushrooms or bombs that went off. This 4 mile 4x4 road is not one to be very friendly when it gets wet. Even with lockers and good tires one would not be able to climb the steep hills we encountered. The dirt in this area turns into a giant greasy, slimy, slick muddy mess. And we had a 8500 lb 3/4 ton suburban to drive out with no lockers or winch. So if there is a silver lining, we did get out before any rain, but if we had entered the cave, spent 2 or 3 hours exploring we may still have been there trying to get home.
Roger and Linda made plans to continue the stay in the Glenn Wood Springs and return the next day. Richard, Cathy and the boys decided to stay a few more hours and take the Tram Way to the top of a mountain to make something out of the day with the boys. The rest of us headed east on I-70 to Dillon to do what we TRR members to best, eat. The Ruby Tuesday's restaurant was the choice for this days dinner.
I must admit, after spending a long day driving, I'm not at all disappointed. Again Wanda and I spent the day with great people friends enjoying each others company playing in our gorgeous back yard in the Colorado Rockies. IF there is a 3rd attempted to take the TRR group to see Hubbard Cave, this time we will ALL drive in the day before, be on the trail by 9;00am. I do have a phone number to the FS in the area to be sure the cave is open before attempting to visit Hubbard Cave.
Oh, and guess what, no break downs on this trip.

One of CBC's crews learned that first hand the other day while in Bonnyville in Canada.
The CBC's Briar Stewart was working with camera man Sam Martin and her producer Terry Reith when THIS happened: Curiousity got the better of a local cat - in a big way. The cat decided to use Sam as a ladder to get a closer look at what was going on. The cat caught Sam off guard - not to mention Briar.

Not entirely unexpected.
I think Pool had a bad run of results - where a bit like us, the performances didn't match the result. But then I saw them play on other occasions and they were woeful.
I think the Fenway bunch were probably swayed by the money side though - they probably assumed that £100m spent in a short period (ignoring money in) would have bought at least 5th or be close to CL.

Big shame - I was hoping he'd stay and keep Liverpoo languishing in mid-table mediocrity.
I reckon they'll look at Lambert, Rogers, Martinez or Poyet (who might be able to handle Suarez better) or maybe abroad, though they're pi$$ing in the wind if they think they might attract Guardiola or Mourinho.
However, I hear that Benitez is currently out of work ... ;-)

i like your new avator kentish!
yes he has wasted 100m for sure & was really annoying in interviews. akward for the sake of it!
it does look like the game has passed him by.
Evening fellow yids.
I sometimes wonder how hard it is to manage a team of professional footballers whom surely love thier job and performing in front of cheering fans,especially in home games.
I''ve allways imagined that the team almost picks itself.
I.E.The best players in thier best positions and may be the hard part comes with injuries.
Tacticlly each game differs and squad rotation is a must, to keep each and every player on thier toes.
But as we all know there are 8 or 9 players that are allways the main stay of the team.
Any more than 2 ghanges from 1 game to another normally leads to dissruption in the team and although players coming in can often blamed for poor performances which in reallty can be down to1 of the regular 9 sulking because thier preferred link up man/ partner has been subed.
But at the end of the day you can only field the best team at your disposal, and if some of that team are players you bought into club via funds and you haven't achieved to the BOARDS expectations then possibly your jobs at risk.
Hence Kenny got the sack.
Whether he should have been given time to make things better,is down to them but maybe there are other problems aswell,like his sulky cmments in interviews after the game etc we'll never know.
Had he commented on each game like Martinez,whom IMHO was always constructive and mostly unbiased, then a lot more people would have felt sorry for him,which doesn't seem the case,but thats life,and although i'm a SPURS fan would happily accept the job for 100 grand a week.(can't be that hard,surely).
