Consumer shows make for busy winter at Bayfront Convention Center
The Bayfront Convention Center has been a busy place lately.
Some of it is about adjusted dates or new events.
Some of it has to do with the time of year, the typically busy trade and consumer show season.
All of it helps create what Jeff Esposito wants to see -- business.
According to Erie County Convention Center Authority statistics, the facility has 18 "public events" scheduled through the first three months of 2013. They include a sport and travel show, statewide billiards tournament, a job fair, the popular Wine on the Lake, and the Erie Golf & Travel Expo, which kicks off today at the convention center, 1 Sassafras Pier.
Those 18 events are expected to draw nearly 20,000 people to the waterfront venue, according to Esposito -- slightly more than the estimated 19,500 people who attended 17 similar public events at the Bayfront Convention Center during the first three months of 2012.
Even though the convention center is expected to lose nearly $500,000 this year -- a loss that will be covered by local hotel tax revenues -- authority officials see the successful early events as good news.
"Some of the shows are typically not held this time of year. Some of them are new shows," Esposito, the convention center's general manager, said earlier this week. "I don't want to overstate. Our calendar has been very full in first quarters the last few years ... this one is a little more full.
"I'm encouraged by a strong first quarter, plus the number of conventions that we have booked for 2013," he said. "Both bode well for the rest of the year I think."
Esposito was referring to the 11 conventions scheduled for the waterfront venue in 2013, a number that nearly triples the four conventions the facility hosted in 2012. It also nearly matches the 12 conventions the Bayfront Convention Center hosted in 2009.
Nearly 2,500 people are expected to attend the 11 conventions, according to Esposito's estimates.
The authority defines conventions as large formal gatherings of members or representatives of a society, profession or industry. The facility also hosts private events that include meetings of various sizes, banquets and weddings.
Among the conventions scheduled in 2013 are the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania's statewide conference Aug. 3-7, which is expected to draw about 600 county commissioners, clerks, administrators and solicitors from across the state as well as county council members and executives from home-rule charter counties such as Erie County.
In addition, the Thirst Youth Convention, a faith-based event for young people, planned for Nov. 22-24 is expected to draw about 500 participants.
'Big-city shows'
Mark Concilla, of Erie Promotions & Expo Inc., believes the convention center's brisk business so far this winter is evidence that the trade show and convention business -- wounded by a shaky economy several years ago -- is bouncing back.
"I hear it from promoters who do shows all over the country," Concilla said. "People are coming back out."
Concilla's company has already completed two events at the convention center -- January's Erie Auto Show and, earlier this month, the Erie RV, Camping & Powersports Spectacular.
A third Erie Promotions event, the golf/travel expo, kicks off today at the convention center and concludes Sunday.
Concilla said he likes bringing events to the Bayfront Convention Center "because this venue gives us the opportunity to develop big-city shows in Erie, Pa.
"We're hanging a 90-foot-wide driving range inside the convention center for the golf show," he said. "It's 50 feet deep. People can take full swings in it. You can't do that in any other building in Erie.
"For the home show, we built a house in the (convention center's) Great Hall. You don't have to drive to Buffalo, Cleveland or Pittsburgh to get a show like this, and it gives people the opportunity to shop local."
Casey Wells, the authority's executive director, said that in recent years, the poor economy led many organizations to cut back on conferences and other events.
The increased number of conventions for 2013 at the Bayfront Convention Center, he said, is a sign things could be changing.
"Most discretionary dollars came to a halt because of the (economic) concerns," Wells said. "I see that loosening up a bit. It's slow, but certainly going in the right direction."
Hotel taxes/financial losses
How any upswing in business affects the convention center's bottom line for 2013, though, largely remains an open question.
The Bayfront Convention Center's 2013 budget, according to figures provided by Chuck Iverson, the authority's director of finance and administration, projects $2.9 million in total revenues and $3.4 million in expenses -- a roughly $500,000 shortfall at year's end.
A consultant's 1999 financial study projected that the Convention Center would lose between $717,000 and $311,000 annually between 2008 and 2017.
Yearly financial losses at the convention center and other authority-managed properties, including the Warner Theatre and Jerry Uht Park, are offset by revenues from the county's hotel tax.
For the month of January, however, the convention center had total operating revenues of $275,181, or $30,808 more than the $244,373 budgeted for that month, according to authority figures.
Total operating expenses, though, were $298,563 -- which led to a total operating loss of $23,382 for January.
However, that operating loss was budgeted at nearly $43,000, and was smaller than January 2012's operating loss of $26,490, authority figures show.
Wells believes most of the public understands why such subsidies are necessary.
"Virtually all convention centers, arenas, theaters and ballparks require operating subsidies," Wells said. "The long-term positive impact of these facilities, both tangible and intangible, are reasons communities support such venues."

I was reeeallly afraid to get these shorts when I first purchased them. But since they've come in they are so comfortable and they aren't super clingy either. Once it gets super hot i'm going to be chilled out wearing these shorts.

J. R. Graves was born April 10, 1820 and died on June 26, 1893. He was a US Baptist preacher, publisher, evangelist, debater, author, and editor. He was born in Chester, Vermont, the son of Z. C. Graves, and died in Memphis, Tennessee. His remains are interred in Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis.
Though raised in a Congregational background, he joined a Baptist Church at age 15. He is recognized as one of the most influential men in the Southern Baptist Convention in the 19th century, and the chief promulgator of the Landmark movement. Graves was one of the Convention's most gifted speakers. Thomas Treadwell Eaton wrote, "We have seen him hold a congregation packed uncomfortably, for three hours and a half without any sign of weariness on their part. This was not done once or twice, but scores of times." Denominational leader J. B. Gambrell described one of Graves' sermons at a small church in Mississippi as "The Greatest Sermon I Ever Heard."

Can you rent a room in your house to help pay for the mortgage? Can you downsize? If you can sell, sell. If not, can you rent out your house and find a cheaper apartment/house? Can you live with family/a friend to share expenses?
Can you find a new job? One that is not so stressful? You could consider being a live-in caretaker of older persons or children if you are so inclined. Then housing, job, and food are all taken care of (I did this for a little while). l
Good luck! It sounds like you know you have to make changes, but just need a little support doing so. You can do it!

Your craftsy name makes me smile! It looks fantastic! Nicely done. (This is gonna be awkward. Did you know that you cut your fold on the wrong side? You aren't the only one, I just wonder if the opening for the straps is big enough to go over your shoulder?)
I wondered about that, but it was too late once I got started, but it actually fits perfectly and makes the bag just a wee bit bigger (which I can always use! :-)) Thanks for a great class, I had a great time making it!
I did that on my second bag and decided to cut it down the middle and sew together. That is going to be the back side. Lost momentum on the bag. Made a diaper tote as my third bag.. Will go back to it next and see what happens. Yours looks Great!
Love your fabrics (especially the people and the musical instruments). Your binding looks perfect. I like how your different sized shapes as well as your choice of cool and warm colors makes the eye travel- its like an optical vacation. I believe you will really enjoy using your bag!
I LOVE it!! "Optical vacation" That is AWESOME!! Thank you!! I did also sew the binding by hand as I thought it would look better. I used an old pair of shorts that I had cut out probably 20 years ago and never made for the binding. It was super fun to get it all out of my stash.
I did the same too but still makes a lovely bag

Reassessing Medicare Prescription Drug plans...Posted Monday, December 1, 2008, at 3:34 PM
December is the month that most of us have Christmas on our mind…either what we're going to get or what we're going to give. Many of us are also wondering how we'll afford it as well.
December is also the month that people who are on Medicare need to reassess their Medicare Prescription Drug plan. Many of the plans have increased their premiums and many have also changed the list of drugs that are covered by their plan. You should have received notice from your current Prescription Drug Plan showing what changes, if any, are in store for next year.
If you looked at what they sent to you and are satisfied with it, you don't need to do anything. Just kick back and relax! However, if the premium went up too much or the drug list is not satisfactory you still have time to do something about it. You have until Dec. 31, 2008 to choose a different plan for the year 2009.
There are 48 stand alone prescription drug plans for the year 2009, that's seven less than last year. This means some of you may have to choose a new plan because your 2008 plan has been discontinued. If that is the case you should receive a letter from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services) telling you so.
There are 85 Medicare Health Plans (formerly known as Medicare Advantage Plans) to choose from and 23 Special Needs Plans. I realize this can be overwhelming for some of you. Jackie and I are offering our assistance to those of you who need it. As you can imagine, we are pretty much swamped but don't want to leave anyone out. If you need help call us at 335-3331 or 1-800-392-8771. It may take a while for us to get back to you but we will do our best to return your calls in a timely manner.

By Andrew Blankstein and Abby Sewell
LOS ANGELES — The coroner's investigation into the death of Whitney Houston came to a close Wednesday with a final autopsy report that described the singer submerged face-down in hot water in the bathtub of her Beverly Hills hotel suite with a unidentified white powdery residue left in a spoon on the bathroom counter.
The report released Wednesday confirmed that the 48-year-old singer drowned in a bathtub, with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors. It concluded that Houston's death was accidental.
On a counter in the bathroom, investigators found an ashtray filled with cigarette butts and a "small spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it, and a rolled-up piece of white paper." They also found prescription drug bottles on the counter and a small plastic bag that had been ripped open. In a drawer, they found a portable mirror with more remnants of a white, powdery substance. Coroner's officials said they did not test the powder, saying that was a job for police. The Beverly Hills Police Department did not release any information about the substance Wednesday.
Houston had battled drug addiction for years, and the report found that she had a perforation in her nose typical of habitual cocaine users. Toxicology test results showed that she had cocaine in her system at the time of death. The coroner's office also found traces of several other drugs — including marijuana, the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril as well as Benadryl — in her system.

Jumbo Sea Scallops with Dungeness Crab, Wild Shrimp Risotto
From Ariana Restaurant Chef Andres Fernandez
(Serves 4)
12 Jumbo Diver Sea Scallops
12 Ounces Fresh Lump Dungeness Crab Meat(cooked)
12 Ounces Peeled and Deveined Shrimp, Chopped (raw)
2 C. Carnaroli Risotto Rice
1/2 Cup Dry White Wine
2 Large Shallots, Minced
4-5 Cups Chicken or Shellfish Stock
4 Tbl Unsalted Butter
1/2-1 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
2 Tbls Italian Parsley, Finely Chopped
2 Tbls Tarragon, Finely Chopped
1-3 tsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
3 Tbl Canola Oil
1/2 Cup Microgreens or Picked Herb Leaves
Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to Taste
For risotto: in a large saucepan heat chicken or shellfish stock. In another saucepan melt butter and sweat shallots over medium heat until soft and translucent. Add carnaroli rice and stir to coat with butter, cook for about 3 minutes, stirring to prevent browning. Add wine to rice and cook until all liquid is absorbed. Slowly ladle 1/2 C. stock into rice and stir frequently, as liquid is absorbed add another 1/2C. Keep stirring and adding stock until rice is fully cooked and has a creamy consistency. Add chopped raw shrimp and cook 1 minute. To finish add butter, cheese, crab, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Do not let risotto get too thick, keep it loose with more stock as it tends to tighten as it sits.
For scallops: heat a cast iron skillet until smoking. Dry scallops on a paper towel, add canola oil to pan and carefully place scallops in hot oil. Do not move scallops for 2-3 minutes to ensure even caramelization. Carefully scrape up scallops as they might stick and flip to cook the other side only briefly, about 30 seconds.
To plate: spoon risotto into warmed bowls and top with seared scallops. Garnish with microgreens or picked herbs.

Bishop del Riego treks back to West Coast Walk for Life
By Ian Hollick
SAN FRANCISCO—January 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decisions that legalized abortion in the U.S.for any reason throughout the nine months of pregnancy. To mark this decision, the Ninth Annual West Coast Walk for Life will take place in San Francisco.
Auxiliary Bishop Rutilio del Riego has been committed to making the pilgrimage through San Francisco to show his support to the noble cause and will do so again for the sixth time. He walks in solidarity with his brother bishops, men and women who have been hurt by abortion, and those who recognize the moral implications of abortion. He will be joined by many, including local Knights of Columbus, parishioners and students from the diocese. Bishop del Riego walks to generate support for the diocesan Gabriel Project which helps moms, dads and babies in need, provides training for Natural Family Planning and help for others suffering emotional pain after an abortion.
The growing demographic of young people at the walk is perhaps the most inspiring. They have what the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops refers to as a 'Call to Greatness.'
"They are full of enthusiasm, because they are able to look at the world with a fresh Gospel lens," says Mary Huber, Associate Director of the office of Pro-Life in the Diocese of San Bernardino. "It's exciting to see our youth understand this social teaching with such clarity. They are our witness of hope."
As a community of people it is important for us to acknowledge the social issues of our time. We are being led in this 21st century by a strong clergy that reflects the wisdom of our Holy Catholic Church.

Having a baby can cost over £8,000 by the end of the first year, so it's no surprise that some families take on extra borrowing and may run into debt problems.
Maternity clothes, nursery furniture, a buggy, nappies... the costs mount up when you have a baby and your budget may be stretched to bursting point.
Borrowing may help you get through in the tough early days, but the FSA have shared these tips with netmums to help you get your spending and debts back on track as soon as you can.
Before you borrow
If you are on the brink of borrowing to pay for baby, take a few minutes to think about these points first:
- Is borrowing money the only option?
- Are you sure you need to buy? Could a lick of paint and some new fabric breathe new life into items you've already got?
- Has someone else got things they could give or lend? Although it's nice to have new, would secondhand do?
- Avoid expensive credit and loans. Some types of borrowing are very costly - for example, door-to-door lenders and most store cards. Consider cheaper credit and loans, such as a local credit union or your bank - see the table far right.
- Plan your repayments. Use the calculator on the CDROM to see how much these could be. Work out in advance how you will pay off the amount you intend to borrow and make sure you budget for the repayments (see the leaflet in this pack: Budgeting for the cost of children).
- Avoid borrowing for everyday spending.
- Borrowing to pay for food and household bills is not sustainable. If you can't see any way to increase your income or cut your spending, get help - see opposite.
Borrowing to buy a home
The biggest cost of having a baby will be if you buy a bigger home. Shop around for a mortgage using the FSA Comparative Tables. To help you budget, consider a fixed-interest loan - for more information, see The Money Advice Service. For details of Sharia-compliant home finance, see www.islamicmortgages.co.uk.
Payment protection insurance (PPI)
The aim of PPI is to make your loan repayments for you if you can't work because of illness or unemployment. typically the policy pays out for a maximum of 12 or 24 months. Sounds a good idea, but watch out. There are usually a lot of exclusions, such as existing health problems.
You might not be covered if you have casual work or short-term contracts or you are self-employed. And PPI is often expensive. Sales staff might give you the impression that you have to take out PPI, but in fact it is nearly always an option - you can turn it down if you want to.
If debts become a problem
It can be hard to admit you have a problem. Some of the signs are: struggling to pay even the minimum on your credit cards, missing loan repayments, taking out new loans to pay off old ones or borrowing to cover everyday spending such as the weekly shop. If you ignore them, debt problems don't go away - they just get worse. So tackle them sooner rather than later.
These organisations can give you free advice and help:
Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). For your local bureau, see phone book, ask at your town hall or public library or see the Citizens Advice Bureau website.
National Debtline - Tel: 0808 808 4000
StepChange Debt Charity, formerly CCCS - Tel: 0800 138 1111

Christians Against Poverty - Debt counselling agency, which specialises in helping those who are emotionally struggling too. Tel: 0800 328 0006
There are also firms that offer to sort out your debts for a fee. It is unlikely that they will be able to do more for you than the free agencies listed above.You will usually be better off spending your money on clearing your debts rather than paying fees.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)Body IssuesProne to migraines and tension headaches, you tend to let everything go right to your head. To avoid painful spells, stay aware of your breathing, avoid cigarettes and make sure your significant other rubs your temples when you feel an ache coming on. A dab of lavender essential oil on pulse points soothes the Arian soul.
DietYour body craves brain food: lots of fish (rich in omega 3s), fresh berries and yogurt. Keep your mind in high gear from morning to night by starting the day with protein. Luckily, you're spry and have a fast metabolism, so as long as you stay active you're not likely to put on too much weight, even if you indulge once in a while.
ExerciseYou were born with more energy than all other signs of the zodiac put together, but you tend to expend it in furious bursts of firepower. Instead of exhausting yourself in a mad dash, aim for exercise that requires a steady pace and gets your heart rate up safely. Try kickboxing to get your aggression out; balance it with power yoga.

Well, PCMCIA drivers have (struct pcmcia_device *) p_dev->priv available and
use this regularly, so using dev->private_data never has been supported.
Nonetheless, let's add support for using dev->private_data also for PCMCIA
devices and remove p_dev->priv eventually.

The City of Redmond and the Redmond Area Park & Recreation District are initiating a community wide survey to engage the community-wide to share their opinions and insights, with the goal of providing direction for the development of the Dry Canyon Master Plan and the RAPRD Recreation Program & Facilities Plan.
The Dry Canyon is the City's largest community park that provides a wide variety of important recreational amenities that include trails, natural areas, playgrounds, athletic fields, a dog-park and a skatepark. Updating the Dry Canyon Master Plan will help staff identify long-term strategies for park programming and development, property acquisition and park management.
The RAPRD is initiating the planning process to complete their first Recreation Program & Facilities Plan (RPFP) which is a 7-10 year plan that serves as a blueprint for facility and recreation program development. The RPFP will also provide guidance for future land acquisition, park, trail and open space development, development of recreation and administrative facilities and RAPRD operations and recreation programming needs.
The survey will take about 7-10 minutes to complete and can be accessed by using the link below or by visiting the City of Redmond or the RAPRD homepage.
The survey will be open for the next month to allow the community enough time to share their opinions.
Please contact Perry Brooks, Park Planner with further questions at 541-923-7757 or at email@example.com.

Northshore, Valley crime rates drop
by Andrew Walgamott
Staff reporter
There were fewer murders last year, though crime across the state rose to its highest levels in a decade, according to the Washington Association of Sheriff's and Police Chiefs.
But Northshore and the Snoqualmie Valley cities bucked state trends with fewer crime index offenses in 1997, the association's annual report says.
The voluntary report reveals numbers for crimes such as murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, arson, burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft which together represent the crime index. The first four are considered violent crimes while the latter four are known as property crimes.
The report compares '97 figures with '96.
In Woodinville
, a drop in rape, burglary, larceny and auto theft led to a 23 percent decline in crime index offenses. In '97, just over 48 residents out of every 1,000 were victims of crimes, down from 63 residents per 1,000 the year before. There were 484 crime index offenses last year.
But violent crimes in Woodinville rose 31.3 percent, largely due to a 120 percent increase in the number of aggravated assaults. There were 11 last year compared to five the year before.
"I'm pleased to see the overall percentage of crime drop in the city," said Woodinville Police Chief Ken Wardstrom. "That's obviously our goal." Explaining the doubling of aggravated assaults that occurred in 1997, he noted that cities with low numbers of crime can have drastic increases in percentages from year to year with just a few incidents.
crime index offenses dropped 4.5 percent (941 offenses), though violent crimes there rose 28.6 percent. That was due to 10 more robberies (23 total) that occurred in '97.
was the most peaceful of local cities with no murders, rapes, robberies, assaults or arsons, according to the report. The city had 38 total offenses, down from 73 the year before, the report shows. Carnation did not report in 1997.
Even though there were 651 more crime index offenses in King County as a whole, the violent crime rate held steady at 5 per 1,000 while property crimes dipped seven-tenths of a percent to 67.6 percent per 1,000.
In Snohomish County
there were nearly 6,000 more total offenses, led by a jump of almost 4,000 more larcenies and 1,366 more auto thefts.
The report gives a picture of what crime is doing statewide, according to Tracy Gardner, Uniform Crime Report manager. "Overall, crime did go up 3.6 percent. Murder was the only offense that decreased."
She said over the last decade crime was at its highest in 1997. Gardner said that while this is a voluntary program, about 97 to 98 percent of the population statewide is covered in the report.
Statistics from individual Washington agencies ranging from city, port and university police as well as county sheriff's offices will be included in a national report, she said.
Gardner said a copy will also go to the Washington legislature, and criminal justice funding from the state treasurer will be divvied up to individual agencies based on the report.
A glance at the report might lead one to believe that Tukwila is the most violent and crime-ridden place in King and Snohomish counties, but that may not be entirely true.
While it has a population of around 15,000, that swells during the daytime to 100,000 due to South Center Mall, Gardner said. Without this information, the report shows that nearly one out of every four residents was a victim of a crime index crime, a rate at which only the city of Lynnwood (nearly one out of every ten) approaches in either county.

Roy Colbert
Roy was born near Tonasket July 11, 1920 to Elmer Leroy Clbert and Carlyn Umpsheid Colbert.
His early years were spent on the family cattle ranch. He attended Tonasket High School and maintained those friendships through the years.
Roy had a career with United Airlines that took him across the country. In 1957 he retired from the airline industry, and the family moved to Bothell where he built several houses and started a janitorial company.
In 1962, Roy served as a team member in the preparation for the Seattle World's Fair.
His passion since retiring was woodcarving. His real talent was helping others reach their potentials, through coaching, teaching and advising. He wanted each carver to do his best and reveled in their successes.
Roy will be greatly missed by his wife, Barie; son, Dale of Olympia; granddaughter, Lisa Petro of Tacoma; great-grandchildren, Traci, Tomas, Julie and Elizabeth Petro; sister, Dixie Tremain; brother, Mark Colbert; nephews, Duane and David Tremain and Dan Colbert; as well as several grand-nephews and nieces.
A memorial service was held Nov. 8.

This trip is a part of a tour my brother and I took to Paris and London.
You can find my trip report about our journey from and to TLV in here: TLV-CDG-TLV Winter Trip With LY (w/27 Pics) (by 4xRuv Feb 28 2006 in Trip Reports)
We've spent some wonderful 3 days in Paris. What a great city.
The day of the flight I went to see the Louvre for the first time in my life (though it wasn't the first time I was in Paris). Afterwards I met my brother, and we went to eat lunch in a great local restaurant I knew from my last business trip here.
Early afternoon, we returned to our hotel, picked up our luggage, and took a cab to "Gare du Nord". I really think that the Cab driver was cheating us, saying we have to pay for his way from the taxi station to our hotel, but since I had no choice, I just paid him. Tourists are suckers….
Date: 11/2/2006
Airline: British Airways
Flight: BA323
Aircraft: A319-131
Registration: G-EUPP
Departure (Pushback): 18:10(18:11) local time
Arrival (Touchdown): 18:30(18:19) local time
Class: M
Seats: 21A and 21B.
Gate: B29
From "Gare du Nord" it's about 30 minutes to CDG terminal 2's station. When we arrived, we took a bus to terminal 2B, which was quite empty as it was Saturday afternoon. Strange thing about CDG 2B, maybe because the way it is built: The passport control is done before you can check-in, which means you have to stand in line for it with your luggage. I hate to think what would happen on a busy day and a long line.
The check-in counters were quite empty, and the check-in agent was a really nice guy and since there was no line behind us, we chat for a while. We asked for an emergency row, but he said that they were already taken and the only seats he could assign us together were on the last row.
Check-in counters of BA in CDG
Since there was nothing to do there, we decided to go to the gate area, so I could take some pictures. We had to find our way in between some check-in counters to find the way to the security search and from there to the gate area. Boy, who designed this terminal? He should not be allowed to design anything but Lego terminals….
Try to find the way to the gate…
This was the first flight in this trip which actually left on daylight, which means I got the chance to take some photos:
The earlier flight to LHR was just closing when we arrived:
You can also see AF Concorde way back
And pushed back:
See you in LHR
A by passer:
AF Regional Fokker 100
Our gate was still empty, awaiting the plane from LHR:
Empty gates at Empty Terminals
Around 45 minutes before our departure it has finally arrived:
On your mark…
The captain/co-pilot (couldn't see from where I was standing) was doing his walk around the plane, chatting with the ground staff:
You can see him resting on the right engine. What a dream job
Soon after the cleaning staff have finished their job(we could actually know when that was as their vehicle was right in front of us), it was time for boarding:
Our boarding passes
On our way on the jet way, I managed to take this photo of a Malev 737 who's just arrived:
Sorry for the poor quality: The sun was going down
We've taxied to runway 09R, and then the flight attendant took the "don't use any electronic device" too seriously and decided that I can't use my camera till we're airborne. Urgh! So at that point I just put the camera in my bag, and enjoyed the flight. So no more photos from this leg, which was quite short and uneventful. Soon after wheels up drinks were served, together with a small bag of chips, which you can see in the photo I took on our return leg. Soon, we've started the "traditional" circling of LHR, which wasn't too bad (In one of my previous flight to LHR we were actually circling LHR longer than the actual flight took).
We landed on 27L, and had to hold on the taxiway because our gate wasn't free yet. We waited around 5 minutes, and taxied to our gate on terminal 4.
The passport control was a bit strange; the immigration officer "interviewed" us for several minutes as if it was a job interview…
Pretty soon we collected our luggage and headed to London city.
Got to say: London is my favorite city in the world.
Tower Bridge on sunset
Date: 15/2/2006
Airline: British Airways
Flight: BA322
Aircraft: A320-232
Registration: G-EUUB
Departure (Pushback): 17:10(17:05) local time
Arrival (Touchdown): 19:25(19:10) local time
Class: M
Seats: 21E and 21F.
Gate: 08 (Terminal 4)
London was great, and it was time to go home. After spending the morning at the famous oxford street, we headed back to our hotel, took our luggage and went to the very close tube station for a direct train to the airport.
Terminal 4's tube station is closed till September, so there's a complimentary bus service from Hatton cross station, which is about 5 minutes ride.
The bus
This evening we were to check in from zone B, which was quite empty:
Treminal 4 Zone B
There was no line and we asked the agent to send our luggage all the way to TLV. He did it, but said that he couldn't give us boarding passes for our second leg, which was understandable considering LY and BA are not related in any way.
Afterwards we went for the security checks where we've found a long line. Some people were selected from the line for a "new" security check. Displays at this area explained that this is only a test procedure, and that passengers who decline this procedure will be given a full body search. Luckily, we weren't chosen. I think it's not very nice "threatening" people with a full body search to participate in these tests.
Soon, we got through security, and went to sit down for a coffee. I think I've found heaven: There were so many BA's passing by. At one point I left my brother with our stuff, and went to take some pictures. Here are some selected:
BA 777 towed to a gate
One 777 wheels had to be replaced:
BA technicians. Sorry for the poor quality
All is done
Another BA 777 catering loading
BA 744 getting ready to depart with LH A32X landing behind
Loads of BAs
When boarding has started, we headed to gate 8 where there was no line and soon we were on the aircraft. This time I didn't take any chances, and took a photo of the cabin before any flight attendant would make up some new rules like "hold your breath while we are taking off".
Our cabin
Boarding was over early, and there were several empty rows in the back, so I let my brother have our original triple seats, and settled down in seats 22 A-C. Love it when the flight isn't full.
Here's a photo my brother took when we were still parking:
How many 777s does BA have????
We pushed back 5 minutes before our original departure time, which has never happened to me before, but I heard there is a new rule or something…
We taxied to runway 27R. LHR tower was doing an interesting thing; Instead of one long taxi line, they created 2 short parallel lines. One on the other direction of runway 23 (there's no runway 5 for some reason), which we were on, and another one on the taxiway. I was so happy that I moved to the other side; I got to catch all those great photos, especially the first one. I couldn't believe how small it is:
That's it? That's the all mighty Concorde?
Hope to see this guy some day in TLV
I don't know how long the queue was, but it took us about 20 minutes from pushback, to rotation. Shortly after we rotated we've done a series of turns until we got to our cruising altitude. At this point Service has begun, serving drinks (including alcoholic) and a small bag of chips. I took a cup of tea as my throat was aching, and some still water.
I used my book so I could photograph the chips. I was reading "Ana Karenina"
After about 25 minutes we've already started our decent, which was very bumpy as the weather in Paris was stormy. We've jumped up and down as if it was a rollercoaster; so much fun. We've landed on runway 27R (27 seems to be a repeating number throughout this trip), and taxied to our gate, passing by the French Concorde.
When we've disembarked, I asked the captain if I could take a picture of the cockpit, which he gladly approved (Thank you).
You can see on the window how rainy Paris was
We've left the jet way, and the transfer area was right in front of us:
Going DOWN
The rest of our journey to TLV can be found in this trip report: TLV-CDG-TLV Winter Trip With LY (w/27 Pics) (by 4xRuv Feb 28 2006 in Trip Reports)
All in all, the flights were very short but nice, and I must say I really enjoyed the view, especially at LHR. Hope you liked this report, and I'd love to hear any comment or question.

text: Cape Town - With the pressure knob considerably turned up ahead of this weekend's Rugby World Cup action, Springbok wing Gio Aplon has no doubt that it will only further spur the defending champions to march into the next round.Knockout rugby should not be a strange phenomenon to anyone in the Springbok camp. Whether it be the World Cup, Super Rugby, Currie Cup or even Heineken Cup, the premise remains the same, win at all costs, Aplon explained in Tuesday's Die Burger."It is the one thing that we are sticking to from the moment we left South Africa a month ago. There were thousands of people in Sandton to see us off and especially here in New Zealand we are seeing the supporters following us and every day I see messages of support on Facebook and Twitter."It gives your focus for the weekend, a sense of purpose, because nobody wants to disappoint all of those supporters or the team," he said.He believes they are as accustomed to their quarter-final opponents as they are to knockout rugby."We know them (well). They probably know us too, but I think that we are mentally stronger than they are despite recent results in which they have beaten us once or twice."Aplon did not hide the fact that the Wallabies may have missed a golden opportunity to welcome back one of their favourite sons, to add a welcome boost to an already star-studded backline."We are overjoyed at the news that (Matt) Giteau was not chosen. Robbie Deans probably has his reasons for his selection, but with regard to the Springboks, it suits us excellently that Giteau will not be in Wellington on Sunday. He has certainly bullied us in the past and there is definitely relief in our camp that he will not be part of the action," he added.The Western Province flyer hopes to use the added motivation combined with the collective support of a nation to spur the Boks to greater honours to go with what they have achieved already."We have fared well up until now. We have scored the most points in our group and conceded the least. The first lot of goals have been achieved. The next one is to reach the semi-final of this World Cup. I believe that we can do it, especially with 45 million people (back home in SA) who will help us get over the line."

Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen to get another start in quest to regain peak form
FRISCO - Kari Lehtonen understands where he is in his career, and so do the Stars.
Lehtonen, 26, has battled injury problems and conditioning issues for much of his six NHL seasons, but the Stars believe that if they can get the big goalie on the right track, they can find the player who was taken second overall by Atlanta in the 2002 draft.
Lehtonen will start against the Sharks tonight, his second start since being acquired by the Stars in a Feb. 9 trade that sent prospect Ivan Vishnevskiy and a fourth-round pick to the Thrashers. Lehtonen allowed six goals on 34 shots in a 6-3 loss March 6 at Pittsburgh and has also allowed three goals in two relief appearances. He is 0-1-0 with a 4.41 goals against average and an .833 save percentage.
But the Stars said they expected some rust. Lehtonen had two back surgeries in the off-season and had not played in an NHL game this season before March 4. They have had him working with goalie coach Mike Valley and strength and conditioning coach J.J. McQueen, and they say they have seen a good deal of progress in a short time.
"It's been a necessity for him, coming off a year-long injury," Stars coach Marc Crawford said. "He's had an extended training camp, and for him, this is game four or five of the season. Unfortunately, it's at a playoff pace, but he's way more ready today than he was coming back from the break."
Lehtonen said he felt behind the pace when he played against the Penguins, as if he were still stuck in October. But this will be his first start at home, and his parents are making their annual visit from Finland to see him play, so there's plenty of motivation.
"Sure, you always want to play well, but I do think it will be different to start at home," he said. "I've been waiting for this, and I'm looking forward to it."
At this time, Lehtonen is the team's best hope to be the No. 1 goalie to start next season. He was made available by the Thrashers because he has battled injuries and because youngster Ondrej Pavelec had replaced him as the No. 1 goalie. But with Marty Turco scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, the Stars believe Lehtonen is worth the risk. He is 94-84-17 in his career with a 2.89 GAA and .911 save percentage. He is a big goalie at 6-4, 215, and has shown the ability to be an elite player.
Getting him back to that level might be the most important job facing the organization.
"We've worked on his endurance, his leg strength and his flexibility, and we've been really pleased," said McQueen. "He's a good student. He's a hands-on guy, and he wants you to push him."
Lehtonen said he embraces the guidance and the challenge of making himself better.
"That's the great thing here. Everybody has one thing on their mind, and that's helping the players to be ready and prepared," he said. "Almost every day, I feel a little better. They take a lot of pride in their work and they want to help me out, and that is a great feeling."

MONITOR TOWNSHIP, MI — A 19-year-old Auburn man remains in critical condition the day after he rolled his pickup truck on US-10.
Troopers from the Michigan State Police Tri-City Post said on the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 17, that Chase Leuenberger remains hospitalized at MidMichigan Medical Center in Midland, where he was taken by ambulance from the crash site near the Seven Mile Road overpass. The crash occurred shortly after noon on Thursday.
Leuenberger was driving his Ford Ranger east on US-10 when he veered left toward the center median and was launched into the air, rolling several times. He was alone in the vehicle, was ejected from the truck and came to rest on the roadway's north shoulder, troopers said.
Witnesses at the scene told police they estimated the truck flew as many as 8 feet in the air at one time.
It does not appear Leuenberger was wearing his seat belt, troopers have said.
At the time of the crash, heavy winds were blowing across the road, shifting snow about and making conditions slippery, troopers said. Investigators believe the snow and icy conditions factored into the incident.
Leuenberger's Facebook page states he graduated from Bay City Western High School in 2012.
Troopers said they are waiting for developments regarding Leuenberger's condition before ending their investigation.

I was sick for about a week and so I stopped jogging during that time. When I finally felt better and went jogging again, I must have done something to my foot/ankle because when I got home, I had pain in my lower ankle/heel area. There is no noticeable swelling and no bruising - just pain when I run or bend my ankle too much. I know someone who coaches sports, and when I showed him where it hurt he said it was probably the Achilles tendon, the part at the heel where it spreads out.
I've never had a sports injury before so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I've been trying not to use it since this happened (four or five days ago) but it doesn't seem to be improving. I'm really annoyed because I miss my runs like crazy, but I know if I run on it I will probably just make it worse.
I have a couple questions - firstly, should I be resting it as completely as possible (what I've been doing so far), or would it be helpful to do some more walking on it, perhaps to strengthen it?
My other question is about caring for the injury - I have put a cold compress on it a few times over the last several days, for no more than 20 minutes each time. I also ACE wrap it occasionally, but because I have no expertise in wrapping injuries I decided to only do it when I need something to remind me not to use the ankle too much. I figure wrapping it incorrectly would probably do more harm than good, so I've tried to follow instructions I found online.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I would love to get back on the trail again, although most importantly, I would like for this injury to be fully healed!
It really depends on the actual severity of the injury. I'd recommend getting it looked at. If it was just a strain, keep walking on it and I'd recommend trying not to limp. You don't want to develop an imbalance or altered movement pattern by favoring your other leg.
If it is more than that, then it's beyond my scope but it doesn't sound TOO serious.

Miracles happen when pigs fly, and they do in Cincinnati, OH! We are running the Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon (our 4th half marathon) on Sunday, May 3, 2015 at 6:30 a.m. Our running crew continues to increase each year! This year Marshall Weesner (Teresa's husband), Chris Lindeman, and Bridget Behrmann will be joining us for the half marathon. Bridget will be doing the three-way challenge by running the 5k and 10k on Saturday May 2nd, in addition to the half marathon on Sunday. Ellen's husband, Brian, and kids- Olivia age 10 and Evan age 8 will be running the 5k race this year. Ellen's youngest son, Eli age 5, will be running the Kids' Marathon 26th mile which is a 1 mile run. All of us will be donning myeloma shirts to raise awareness!
We would love to continue to expand our myeloma running team for the Flying Pig Marathon Weekend in a greater effort to spread the word about myeloma and the vital work of the International Myeloma Foundation. We would love for you to join us on either Saturday May 2nd or Sunday May 3rd in raising myeloma awareness. Not a runner? No worries. You can walk, jog, run, or come to cheer us on!
Myeloma hits close to home for us. Our dad, Christopher Meier, a family physician was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November 2009. He underwent chemotherapy and subsequently a stem cell bone marrow transplant in October 2013 that resulted in a good response. Unfortunately there is still no cure for myeloma and he remains on maintenance chemotherapy to help keep his myeloma under control. While he may have a few side effects from his previous therapy, he continues to work full time as a family physician doing what he loves best, caring for his patients. He truly is an inspiration for all of us,
Our family is committed to raising awareness for myeloma and supporting the International Myeloma Foundation which provides vital support to patients and their families as they face this daunting illness. The IMF is a valuable educational resource for myeloma patients, working toward advancing medical treatments, and ultimately finding a cure. Our family can attest to the wonderful work of the IMF as we have been involved with the IMF since 2009 when our parents joined the local IMF support group and attended IMF sponsored informational meetings for myeloma patients and their families.
Even if you are unable to join us for the Flying Pig Marathon events, we need your help. Last year with your generous donations we raised $3,100 for the International Myeloma Foundation. We would love to continue to increase our fundraising efforts and exceed that amount this year!
To join our team or enter in another Flying Pig event, contact Teresa at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Please consider helping us make miracles for all myeloma patients by clicking on the yellow button and supporting the IMF. Miracles happen when pigs fly!
With Love and Hope - Ellen Grammel and Teresa Meier

Faux pas. Last week, Science Magazine published a report by John Bohannon on a "sting" that used a faux paper to reveal flaws in the review of manuscripts submitted to open access journals. Not only was the "experiment" flawed (it lacked a proper control), but it was a monumental waste of time for editors & reviewers at legit open access journals. It's the kind of experiment that would not have passed peer review itself, let alone been approved for ethics. If anything, it uncovered only a flaw in peer review, full stop. Great critiques were made by by Curt Rice, Martin Eve, Kausik Datta, John Hawks and Michael Eisen.

In this monograph Dr. Behrend has compiled the data from a very competent and thorough study of an epidemic of poliomyelitis which occured in Nordheim-Westfalen, Germany, in 1952. Particular emphasis is placed upon a consideration of the exogenous factors which the author and many other authorities in the field feel predispose a person to clinical poliomyelitis. Among the possible factors considered are sex, age, occupation, general body heredity, sports activity, travel, injuries, fractures, contusions, burns, skin injuries, and concusion. Inflammatory processes, such as furuncles, otitis, and insect bites, are also considered. Another section deals with the possible effects of operative procedures, such as appendectomy, herniotomy, dental operations, tonsillectomies, vaccinations, and injections. The possible effect of climate and chronic illness is also covered.
One of the interesting facts which was brought to light in this study was the relatively high incidence of paralytic poliomyelitis among the heavy manual laborers of the

Sherando wrestlers win Conference 21 crown
Sherando's Tyler Hamilton (front) won the 220-pound title, winning by fall in 1 minute, 38 seconds over James Wood's Adam Vadell at Saturday's Conference 21 Tournament at Sherando.
Sherando senior Jacob Guthridge closes in on a pin against Loudoun County's Adam Pusterla in the 132-pound final. Guthridge pinned Pusterla in 2 minutes, 43 seconds to join teammates P. K. Jessen and Tyler Hamilton as individual champions.
STEPHENS CITY — Saturday wasn't perfect for the Sherando wrestling team, but the Warriors have showed they don't always have to be to get the job done.

After a nor'easter dumped snow on the Wednesday, there was some obvious concern about the condition of the sectional cross-country courses for this Saturday's.meets.
One of those concerned about it was Morristown coach Paul Buccino, whose team is favored to win the North Jersey, Section 2 Group 3 title at Greystone's course at Central Park in Parsippany. The North 2 meet will start at 12;30, right after the North 1 meet ends.
So Buccino went over and took a look at Greystone this morning.
``Snow is melting away and the trees have been taken care of,'' 'Buccino texted to me. ``The North 1 and 2 sections will be fine.''
Buccino was referring to some trees that Superstorm Sandy knocked down last week near the 1.2-mile mark.
There is warmer weather in the forecast for the next couple days, in the 40's today and in the 50's for Friday and Saturday. That should melt all or most of the snow away. But as a result, you can expect the course to be very sloppy.

MARTINSBURG - Cathy Cross couldn't say enough good things about Hospice of the Panhandle and the care they'd given her mother, Patricia Roach, after she'd been diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer.
Although it's been nearly three years since her death, Cross still has a little trouble talking about it, but hospice also helped with that by providing grief counseling to family members after she passed.
"My mother was treated with absolute respect and there was never a time we called that they didn't do their best to help. I donate to hospice because they took such good care of my mom, and I tell everyone about them," Cross said.

Journal photos by Jenni Vincent
Hospice of the Panhandle development director Maria Lorensen, left, and CEO Margaret Cogswell listen as Cathy Cross describes the caring treatment her late mother received before dying from lung cancer.
Hospice of the Panhandle officials, board of directors and various representatives who worked on the new office building and inpatient facility officially cut the ribbon.
Cross wasn't alone in her enthusiasm Thursday afternoon, when hundreds of people attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new inpatient facility and office building - an $11.6 million project - situated on 17 acres of land straddling the Berkeley/
Jefferson county line off Charles Town Road.
As part of the program, officials announced another major donation - money that will be used to reduce the facility's remaining $8 million mortgage.
Shepherdstown resident Henry Willard, a longtime Hospice supporter, made his second $100,000 gift to the agency's "Building the Dream" campaign.
His late wife, Louise Brooks Willard, was a board member from 1997-2003.
The couple made their first $100,000 gift in July 2010. At that time, Louise Willard told hospice officials "how much she appreciated the compassionate care her mother received at the end of her life," according to a press release announcing the donation.
In recognition, the organization's board of directors meeting room will be named after Louise Willard.
Another supporter, board member Linda McGraw also described how the organization had helped her family with her mother-in-law's death.
Hospice officially opened its 14-bed inpatient facility and offices in March.
Development director Maria Lorensen smiled as she looked at the crowd of people that was waiting for the program to begin and then tour the new facilities. She said about 350 people had indicated they would attend, but it looked as if other members of the public had also decided to attend the event.
"The campaign started in 2008, but the dream started way before that," she said, adding that the Willard donations means $3.9 million has been raised to help cover the new facility's cost.
Lorensen said seven patients have already been served at the inpatient facility, including the first patient who came for respite care.
"We're off and running, which is exciting because so many people will be helped here," she said.
Hospice CEO Margaret Cogswell, who emceed the program, credited the organization's many supporters - including staff, board members and volunteers - for realizing there was a need to better serve people as they neared death.
"Today we continue the quest to bring the very best in terms of end-of-life care to this community," Cogswell said.

Erin Sponaugle named WV Teacher of the Year
October 11, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Like any good teacher, Erin Sponaugle worries about her students when she's away....
3 days in a row reporting the same story. Can we expect another report tomorrow telling us where she hung her plaque? Can we expect another report on what color Toyota she picked out? Bravo to her for the accomplishment, but Journal, you could have handled all of this in one story.
7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Horace Mann -- a name conservatives love to hate. SLAM!
