""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
The World's Top-rated FBOs
The relationship between the private jet operator and the fixed-base operation (FBO) is symbiotic, as neither could exist without the other. FBOs provide aircraft fueling, cleaning and watering; storage hangars and parking tie-downs; catering; meeting spaces; and, in some cases, maintenance.
To determine which facilities do the best job of providing these services, BJT's sister publication, Aviation International News, annually surveys its readers. AIN asks its subscribers not only to rate the FBOs they've visited during the previous 12 months but to list the factors that might attract them to–or keep them away from–any FBO. This year, respondents overwhelmingly cited excellent customer service as their top priority in selecting an FBO, followed by competitive fuel pricing and then quality passenger amenities. Poor passenger service, rundown or unclean facilities and unprofessional staff ranked as the biggest reasons for avoiding a ground-support operation.
For its report, AIN tallied evaluations of more than 17,000 FBOs from 2,037 respondents who interact daily with these operations, such as pilots and flight-department managers. They rated service providers they'd visited in four categories: line service, passenger amenities, pilot amenities and facilities. In each category, FBOs received a score of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. AIN then compiled the scores into an average for each location that was rated by 30 or more respondents.
This year's top scorers in the Americas were Pentastar Aviation and XJet, both of which earned an overall rating of 9.3.
Pentastar, at Michigan's Oakland County International Airport near Detroit, has been one of the highest rated FBOs in AIN's survey for the past six years. Yet the company says it can't rest on its laurels. "There are others ratcheting up the service level and facilities," commented Bob Sarazin, Pentastar's vice president of FBO services. "I think it's become a little bit tougher competition if we look at it nationally." Pentastar, which also operates at California's Van Nuys Airport, offers a full range of services, including comprehensive aircraft maintenance and in-house catering through its Fivestar Gourmet subsidiary.
Based at Denver's Centennial Airport, XJet garnered this year's top overall ratings for both passenger amenities and facilities, among them an auto spa where guests can leave their terrestrial rides for scheduled maintenance while they are on a flight. With its hangars filled, the FBO–which began about five years ago as a private club for business jet owners–plans to more than double its size and also possibly expand to Paris and Dubai.
The highest-rated Canadian FBO was Skyservice Avitat at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport. The full-service flagship of a chain that includes locations at Montreal and Calgary, it has approximately 300,000 square feet of hangar space and pumps more than four million gallons of fuel annually.
For 2012, the top service provider outside the Americas was TAG Aviation at London-area Farnborough Airport. "Farnborough is the only airport in Britain that has been specifically developed with business aviation in mind," said Brandon O'Reilly, CEO of TAG, which also runs the airport. Since taking over management from the UK government 15 years ago, the company has spent more than $160 million on facilities and infrastructure.
On the other side of the world, the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre was the only non-European FBO to place in the top rankings this year. Located at bustling Hong Kong International Airport, the facility has a separate terminal and all the amenities business aviation passengers have come to expect, such as private rooms and showers, a business center and on-site customs.

When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits].

The advantage of steel has nothing to do with the amount of pies you are cooking. Steel is used to produce faster baked style of pizza in an oven that couldn't otherwise produce them due to temperature limitations. It doesn't matter if you are cooking one pie ore twelve, the advantage of steel is the same.
My cordierite stone drops 75 degrees after a pizza is baked on it, and it takes about 20 minutes to recover to full baking temp. If steel can recover faster, that would be useful to me.
Jeff (jcny), as much as $15 is a great price for that size of steel, I don't see any application where it would be useful in a broilerless home oven set up. Steel is a bottom browning accelerator. In an environment where bottom heat is heavily favored, there is no style of pizza that would benefit from an even faster bottom bake.

Heyo Chris,
Thanks for the thoughts. As commented on in past and current BB discussions, the current format for our site leaves a lot to be desired and the layout is a large factor in this. As you note, a more streamlined format would be desirable, plus there are considerations to how easy it is to post items (which tbh isn't that hard currently, although the edges could be sanded down), as well as find them again in the future.
While services like tumblr are quick to setup, they don't scale when it comes to keeping things like content organisation sane, especially when there would be multiple users with varying mind/skillsets (the old Joomla site failed at this as its initial set-up conditions were less than favourable to self-organisation). Keeping our web services in-house, rather than using 3rd party companies, would be better as we would retain ultimate control over how the data is outputed.
I've been e-mailing with a number of respondents to the adverts I put up recently and meeting a few in the coming week, so I'm hoping that we can get our site changed to reflect recent thoughts on how to improve things fairly soon. A couple of worked with Drupal before, so I'm hoping we can unlock some of the fuller potential of the system as a whole.
chris wrote:the current site has been going for a couple of years, seems to be a mountain of work, requires specialist technical knowledge, and everyone seems to think it has various problems. i am impressed by the hard work the web crew have done, but i really think it would be smart to switch to this new site.. what dya reckon?
agreed. (says Mr. Chaos himself!)I don't think we should advertise ourselves as chaotic!
The more you add, the more different people with different mindsets come along and add stuff, the more of a fearsome mess the site becomes. A simple blog fixes this problem. If you give a disorganised group of people like us the power to make a mess then a mess we will make.
A simple blog will scale perfectly well, no matter how many posts that you add it will still remain a simple blog.
A more powerful site like Drupal, on the other hand, does not scale well for an organisation like the forest. The more you add, the more different people with different mindsets come along and add stuff, the more of a fearsome mess the site becomes. ... If you give a disorganised group of people like us the power to make a mess then a mess we will make.
Ultimate power and potential is exactly the antithesis of what I think the forest needs in a website
you seem to reason starting with the technical backend and then working to the end result
My question is, why does the forest need or desire a powerful content management system?
We are not the white house or warner brothers
The Drupal site is hard to use. No, I haven't tried posting to it. But I have tried to browse it. It's a labyrinth, the structure and form of which are not comprehensible to mere visitors. It is formidable and discouraging.
Blogs are simple and people are familiar with them, they are comprehensible. ... The blog as a format has been around for a very long time and is here to stay. I think it's the right format for the forest site and I don't expect to want to change it anytime soon.
milk wrote:it's a desire to redesign the site properly which is why i'm going to advertise for someone with the requisite skills and time to do a good job.
chris wrote:i do not have confidence in the current site or in bringing a new team to move things forward.
a lot of us have good design and aesthetic sense, many of us are visual artists, this should be reflected in an inspiring and exciting website. i'd like to see this happen very soon, and am happy to be involved in this process. i believe this is a realistic and good solution.
cool standalone front page is an option, stevie had a cool idea that this could be very simple, and a different web artist could design one every few months... im not so into sites with front pages, but im not closed to it.
i think this tumblr website is up to date and vibrant, and i'm happy to take on the role of "web admin" if it facilitates a transition to an awesome new site.
chris wrote:whats the new design you have in mind?
and why are you so defensive of the current site it you acknowledge it needs to be redesigned?
Maybe it would be an idea to get a simple artistic front page we like over a simple tumbler structure in an interim until the mechanics of drupal get worked out into a bug-free pretty website that is the dream? Especially if milk has a new crew coming together. This way the new team could have enough time to develop things into something everyone agrees on and adores but we still have something we can agree on in the meantime? Especially if we could get relatively quickly a good front page and then there shouldn't be much major visual turnover between the two.

What is Time Series data?
To visualize Time Series data, consider the diagram below, which shows a group of polygon objects as they change over time. They are temporally seperate, but spatially overlapping objects.
If these three objects existed in the same GIS layer, (indeed, these are found in the Time Series Regime Polygons layer), they would stack up on top of one another and obscure one another's shape. The result would be a representation in which the true areas of the objects could not be accurately distinguished visually. Depending on the order in which the objects are stacked, which is determined only by the order they happen to appear in the GIS table, they might be shown partially distorted or completely obscured, as seen in the next image.
What we are accustomed to seeing as maps, are in fact geographic snapshots in time, or Time Slices. Time slices are simply layers of spatial objects for which the valid date is the same for all the objects. When we open up a road atlas, all of the features shown are considered to be current as of the publication date. To see historic layers of spatial information overlayed one upon the other is unusual in printed maps, and is always done with a very limited number of layers which can be distinguished from one another. For our Time Series data, we have no limit on the number of objects that may occupy or overlap the same space, therefore the visualization of the data, results in the sort of problems described above. Even if we remove the fill color of the polygons, we are still left with a completely ambigious series of overlapping boundary lines, known in GIS parlance, as "spaghetti."
To make visual sense of Time Series data it is expedient to extract a subset of the data which is valid for a particular time, in other words to filter out a single Time Slice from the "spaghetti" of objects. Because the smallest unit of time in the CHGIS datasets is one year--the temporal granularity--if we can select all the objects which were valid for a single year, we will effectively create a Time Slice for that year.
To get an idea of how this works, see the following diagram, in which the changing time series of polygons are represented with vertical bars, while their respective begin and end dates appear as labels in blue font . The polygons are representative of historical places that change at different times, so the records for each unique historical object have asynchronous begin and end dates.
For example, the pale jade colored polygon, has three historical instances shown on the diagram. The first instance is valid from time 1 to time 4, the second instance from time 5 to time 9, and the third instance from time 10 to time 29. By contrast, the tan colored polygon was first established at time 5, and took jurisdiction over part of the area formerly part of the jade colored polygon. In other words, the area of jurisdiction of the jade polygon was reduced, and the area that the jade polygon lost was placed under the jurisdiction of the newly created tan polygon. This is a typical example of the changes being tracked in the CHGIS datasets.
In the center column are shown Time Slices, which are a subset of the Time Series data. The objects in a Time Slice are valid for a single year. Therefore, by selecting only the objects which were valid for time 2, we obtain a Time Slice at time 2, shown at the bottom of the center column.
To select a single year from the Time Series data, use the following method (presenting sequentially for ArcView, ArcGIS, and MapInfo).

SQL importing wizard and CSV importing wizard were integrated into migration wizard.
A new page was added to the start of migration wizard and users should select the migration type on this page firstly.
Now, CMT supports users to regist several reservation tasks, but only one migration task can be executed at same time.
You can make a reservation by One time only, Repeat Every Day or Advanced(If you familiar with unix/linux crontab). However, you should beaware of overlapping another schedules.
The second way to reserve is clicking "Reservation" button.
You can see the execution history or cancel this reservation.
Now, there is able to migrate with failed tables and data by "Restart migration" funtion.
If there are some table were not migrated successfully in the migration history, a dialog will be popped to ask users how to re-open the migration wizard.
The first option means: Reserving all the history's migration settings when opening migration wizard with current history.
The second option means: In the object mapping step, selecting schemas and all data of the tables which were not migrated successfully.
The second option means: In the object mapping step, only selecting all data of the tables which were not migrated successfully.
In the JDBC connection management, users can specify a name to a JDBC connection for easy to remember them.
And the name can't be duplicated.

I can't stand the Cleveland Indians Scout.com MODERATER's condescending attitudes. I can't stand how a topic is just suddenly closed, without even the possibility of waiting until the person who started the topic replying.
I equally can't stand Kilted Fool and NC tribe fan.
I can't stand the SCOUT.com stupid questionaire that asks about 50 different ways how they can get you to subscribe to their services. "No but really, just how can we get you to pay for a monthly membership?", and then this refrain gets re-asked 50 more times.
I can't stand the couple of posters that make accusations about post padding. POST PADDING? POST PADDING? There's no post padding in baseball.
You did what, you bumped a topic from another page, YOU FIEND !
And then, when you completely debunk a stupid accusation like the one NC tribe Fan made about me stealing an idea from her, I never hear a peep back. You see, God has made their decision, and it is irrevocable from that point on.
Is it because brains start shrinking at age 40 that people can't change their attitude about anything?
I hope you don't mind my rant about Scout.com

Stephen Colbert's moving tribute to his mother Lorna has touched all of us on staff this week. Yes, it is touching and might get you choked up a bit. Not to be overlooked are his insights into his mother's Roman Catholic faith and her deeply held values:
"She knew more than her share of tragedy — losing her brother and her husband and three of her sons. But her love for her family and her faith in God somehow gave her the strength not only to go on but to love life without bitterness, and to instill in all us a gratitude for every day we have together."
As I raise my children, I think of how I can imbue my children with these life lessons about being grateful for every single day we have on this planet.

Increased Tourism Endangers Galápagos Islands
Contributing Monkie G Monkie
Published on May 6, 2010
Filed Under Nature / Non Human Stories Tags Galapagos
According to a recent article in the New York Times, the Galápagos Islands are at serious risk. And they're not talking about climate change or species extinction. It seems the planet's first World Heritage site (and a major inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution) is being threatened by social and economic pollution.
A province of Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands are known for their endemic species, like humpback whales, sea turtles, albatrosses and herons. While long considered a must-see on the list of travel destinations, it's believed excessive tourism has led to the islands' recently added spot to Unesco's "in danger" list.
But I thought tourism was good. It brings support to local businesses and boosts the economy. Evidently not when it grows out of hand and local establishments are squeezed out by larger foreign corporations. The Times cites a rise in the number of visitors to the Galápagos to the tune of a whopping 250 percent from 1990 to 2006. And it's not just the number that's changed. The visitors themselves have gone from "nature-loving tourists" eager to see the various species that inspired Darwin to so-called "eco-tourists" who require more luxurious accommodations and large scale tours – which evidently the locals are unprepared to offer. Call it Social Darwinism pushed beyond all limits.
Enter foreign-run companies, who swooped in and conquered 85 percent of the hotel and tour business. Some local boats – who were held to tougher environmental guidelines than the majors – have even lost their operation permits. And rather than enjoying the beautiful scenery the islands have to offer, tourists are now more likely to see large hotel-sized boats clogging the ports.
Johannah Barry, president of the Galapagos Conservancy, summed it best by saying the Galápagos Islands have become "Disneyfied".
"We have to think about the people and not just the plants and animals, or it will all collapse," the Times quoted Dr. Graham Watkins, executive director of the Charles Darwin Foundation, as saying. "What we have here is an unsustainable model of development."
Another unfortunate byproduct of the excessive tourism is the large number of Ecuadoreans who've relocated to the islands in the hopes of cashing in on the food and hotel trade. Such newcomers, according to the Times, put pressure on the Galápagos' natural resources and also introduce invasive species. According to a Darwin Foundation report, "the Galápagos now has 748 species of introduced plants compared with 500 species of native plants," with fifty-five of these risking "severe impacts to native biodiversity."
None of the concerned parties wish to discourage tourism – they're just hoping for more prolonged nature-appreciating visitors who support local businesses.
What's certain is that something needs to change. The situation's urgency was stated clearly by Dr. Watkins: "Unless we start to make fundamental changes right now, in the next 10 to 15 years we will see the Galápagos suffer from both economic and environmental degradation."
Sounds to me like an unhealthy dose of another of Darwin's theories – survival of the fittest.

Topic: Find over 3 models by this modelstructure
Hello together,
i' m very desperate. I have asked this question also in stackoverflow, but i don't get the right tipp there
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1055 over-the-3
Now i hope you could help me. This is my modelstructure
class Model1 < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :model2s
class Model2 < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :model1s
has_many :model3s
class Model3 < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :model2s
In the table of Model1 exists id.
In the table of Model2 exists id and model1_id.
In the table of Model3 exists id and model2_id.
I want to get data out of Controller of the model3.
class Model3Controller < ApplicationController
def create
@model2 = Model2.find(params[:model3controller][:model2_id])

Hello TeaChatters! Let's have some fun today with this topic!
Peyton Manning just signed a 96 Million Dollar contract. This got me to thinking about other super athletes and super stars in other vocations, i.e. actors, musicians, etc. and their mega millions of dollars. Just what in the world do they do with all this money?
Better yet, let's imagine we had such unlimited funds available.
So share with us. What in the world you would do with all that money?
Would you purchase a tea plantation or 2?
Of course the poll could not possibly contain all the possible answers so we will keep it simple with a few TEA Related choices.
I am looking forward to the multitude array of answers!

The Creators Project: For starters, can you say a few words about the new feature you're currently working on? Everyone is dying to know more about it.
Romain Gavras: It's my first movie, and I am very proud of it. I had the chance to do exactly the movie I wanted, so if it's crap it's all my fault. It's about two red-haired guys who want to go to Ireland to create a country for gingers.
What are the main differences between shooting and editing a short-form music video, and shooting and editing a full-length film?
It depends on the people, I guess. For me, it's the same, except a film is way longer, so if someone in your crew is stupid or you hate someone, you are still going have to deal with him or her for months. In a music video, you can punch them in the face after a few days.
We like your style. Do you remember your first camera and the kind of stuff you shot with it?
Yes, I do remember. It was the family Video8. My friend Kim and I did our first film with it when we were 13. The film was really weird; we had no friends so we were playing all the parts in it. I was playing three different guys and two women. Also, I think it's the most hardcore film we ever made. There is a scene that features a Danish zoophile movie. And let me tell you, at this time there was no internet. A 13-year-old kid getting his hands on a zoophile film was pretty impressive. This first film made us famous in our school. After that, everybody wanted to be in our shorts.
The whole Kourtrajmé aesthetic was really lo-fi in the beginning, wasn't it?
Yes it was. We had very lo-fi cameras, but we used them for what they were, not like the imbeciles who try to make video look like film. The technique influenced our staging and our narratives.
Do you feel you could've made these films without the advent of DV?
Definitely not. DV and video made it possible to do films totally independently, without money, and with just with the energy of friends. We learned to do films by doing them, which was completely impossible before. You had to go to school, become an assistant, etc.
Are you interested in technology as a medium in and of itself, or mostly as a tool to enrich other mediums?
I'm only interested in technology for films. And I also like walkie-talkies because they are cool.
Are there any forthcoming technological developments that you think will change the filmmaking landscape and considerably change the way you work?
Soon video cameras will take over film completely. There are good ones already, but it's still very expensive. In a few years there will be cheap cameras that make better images than film, and then we won't need that much money to make a proper feature film.
What other work have you seen recently that has blown your mind?
A Prophet by Jacques Audiard blew my mind; I felt really young and small when I saw it.
Are there any up-and-coming talents you'd like us to know about? Any young people we should keep an eye on?
No, I don't like people younger than me. They all dress like they come from the 90s, and the 90s were pretty horrible.

Right or wrong, the Euros came to America and conquered the natives, as they did on other continents. That's their history. You seem to think we owe them more for what we did 100+ years ago, I don't see a precedence for that. For example, did the Romans put Greeks who didn't want to assimilate into "reservations"? Are there still Aztec reservations in Central America?
I'll give you credit for going all gung-ho on this one. It does follow logical thought that if Caucasians mercilessly slaughtered millions of certain race, that Caucasians should have no problem making offensive pictures of them.

Kettle is a great brand. Chips are always crunchy and fresh. The only negative is the new shipping weight. I would order more often if the international shipping rate was lower.

Skip to comments.Braveheart letter to Pope returns to Scotland
Posted on 01/16/2012 1:49:00 PM PST by NYer
.- A 14th-century letter asking Pope Boniface VIII to look favorably upon the Scottish patriot Sir William Wallace during his visit to Rome has been returned to Scotland.
This document is an enigma, said George MacKenzie, head of National Records of Scotland at the unveiling ceremony in Edinburgh on Jan. 12.
Its a letter from the French king to his officials at the Vatican mentioning Wallace, but we don't know what his business was with the Pope. What we do know is that the document still fascinates, 700 years after it was written.
The life of Sir William Wallace was famously portrayed by Mel Gibson in his 1995 Oscar-winning film Braveheart. Until Jan. 12, the letter about the real-life Wallace was held in England, since being discovered in the Tower of London in the 1830s.
The letter was originally written in 1299, when Wallace traveled to the court of Philip IV of France to try and persuade him to support the Scots against Edward I of England. A year after Wallaces arrival, Philip IV wrote the letter in question to his agents in Rome.
The letter, begins, Philip by the grace of God, king of the French, to his beloved and loyal people appointed at the Roman Court, and commands the French officials to ask the Supreme Pontiff to consider with favor our beloved William le Wallace of Scotland, knight, with regard to those things which concern him that he has to expedite. It is signed at the royal castle of Pierrefonds on the Feast of All Saints, Nov. 7, 1300.
We do not have a lot of tangible links with Wallace as most of the documentation has been destroyed, so to have something that Wallace actually touched is a massive boost for Scotland, said Duncan Fenton of the Society of William Wallace, who had campaigned for the return of the letter.
The document suggests that Wallace intended to visit the papal court of Pope Boniface VIII, but it is unknown whether he actually reached Rome.
Wallace was later betrayed and captured by English forces near Glasgow in 1305. He was then taken to London where he was executed following a show trial at Westminster Hall. Scotlands freedom was subsequently secured, however, when Pope John XXII recognized the countrys independence in 1320.
I am delighted to welcome the Wallace letter back to Scotland, said Scottish Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop. To have it here in Scotland, where it can be viewed by the Scottish public, is very significant indeed.
The historic document will now go on public display this summer at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, alongside another rare letter associated with Wallace that dates back to 1297.
Well, would have been nice if they'd translated the full letter for context. It sounds like an endorsement or letter of recommendation of sorts...to further Wallace's aims in country. A rally of support?
All Saints' Day is November 1st—someone must have misread the number. I don't know if they would be using Arabic numerals this early (where it would be easy to misread a 1 as a 7).
Very cool! Thanks for posting!
Perhaps someone can find Scotland's lost spine and return it to them.
Is it possible that the discrepancy is due the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars?
Can I first say post
If they were counting days in the Roman fashion, the first day of November would be the Kalends of November and the 7th day of November would be the 7th day before the Ides of November.
We may have to wait until a full copy of the text is made available.
The document was written a week after the Feast of All Saints. Here is the Latin and the translation from the National Archives:
Ph[ilippus] dei gra[tia] Franc[orum] Rex dil[ec]tis et fidelib[us] gentib[us] n[ost]ris ad Roman[am] Cur[iam] destinatis, s[a]l[u]t[em] et dil[ectionem]. Mandam[us] vob[is] quat[enus] Sum[m]um Pontificem requiratis ut dilectum n[ost]r[u]m Guill[el]m[um] le Walois de Scotia militem reco[m]mendatum habeat in hiis q[ue] ap[ud] eum habu[er]it expedire. Dat[um] ap[ud] Petrafontem die Lun[e] post festum Omn[ium] Sanctor[um]. [Endorsed]: Quarta l[itte]ra R[egis] Franc[ie].
Philip by the grace of God, king of the French, to his beloved and loyal people appointed at the Roman Court, greetings and favour. We command you that you ask the Supreme Pontiff to consider with favour our beloved William le Wallace of Scotland, knight, with regard to those things which concern him that he has to expedite. Dated at Pierrefonds on the Monday after the feast of All Saints [7 November 1300]. [Endorsed]: Fourth letter of the King of France.

Billy here is a friend of ours from the other side
and he and his associates can help us with our English "problem".
Weren't there two popes at the time? One under the thumb of Phillip the Fair in Avignon and the other in Rome?
No, Boniface VIII was the only pope at the time. He's one of the most controversial of the medieval popes. Shortly after his pontificate the popes began to reside at Avignon. The Great Schism when there was one pope in Rome and another in Avignon is later, after 1378.
I consulted the perpetual calendar in The World Almanac and November 1, 1300, was on a Tuesday, so they have the date November 7 right. The journalist who reported on the story obviously did not know that November 1 is the feast of All Saints and misinterpreted the translation to mean that 7 November was the feast rather than the Monday after the feast.
Gawd I love that. Yo, take care of my homeboy.
I second the Very Cool!
Wha' hae, Scotland!
One of the first patriot fighters...
I thought it was a GREAT movie though I don't watch it anymore....way too sad.
Pope John XXII secured Scotland's freedom in 1320 when Scotland was recognized as a sovereign country.
However, many of its children who immigrated to this country, and who seem to post here on FR, seem to have forgotten that fact.

Thanks NYer. Dang, the mail is slow.
TS — seems like the pope recognized Scotland's independence in 1305 — when will london recognize it? :)
you're kidding, right? Btw, Gibson sure has a lot of hate for the English -- his movies are about Scots fighting the English, Americans fighting the English and Australians fighting the hated English. Next he should do some movies about the brawe Cymru (Welsh) fighting the English, the French fighting the english, the Dutch fighting the English, the Danes fighting the English, the Russians fighting the English, the Turks fighting the English, the French fighting the English, the Prussians fighting the English, the Germans fighting the English, the Argentinians fighting the English, the Japanese fighting the English, the Chinese fighting the English, the Marathas fighting the English, the Mughals fighting the english, the Bengalis fighting the english, the Jews in Israel fighting the English... man, those English don't seem to get along with anybody! :-P
yup, that's true.
England recognised it in 1328, then preceded to ignore it when it suited them until 1707, when the two nation joined each other in the United Kingdom.
Unlike the Irish and Welsh, we joined, we werent coerced.
Yet the Act of union is kind of like the joining of many countries to the EU — the majority of the population were against it —> Sir George Lockhart of Carnwath, the only member of the Scottish negotiating team against union, noted that "The whole nation appears against the Union" and even Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, an ardent pro-unionist and Union negotiator, observed that the treaty was "contrary to the inclinations of at least three-fourths of the Kingdom"
If All Saints' is observed with an Octave, which I would bet on at the time, then the Monday after the day is another way of saying the Monday within the Octave. If one's life revolves around the liturgical calendar, this would be a very good way of identifying a day.
Interesting discussion.
I have a Missal published in 1949 which still has November 8 as "Octave-Day of All Saints." It says "Mass as on the feast" (but the Collect, Secret, and Postcommunion are different).
If my memory serves me correctly, Octaves took two big hits in the 20th century, one under St. Pius X and one under Bl. John XXIII. That said, as we are dealing with a time prior to the standardization under St. Pius V, it would be difficult, and perhaps impossible, to ascertain the details of the calendar used in the French court.
Force of arms secured Scotland's freedom.
The octave has to be the eighth day (counting inclusively so Nov. 8 is the octave of Nov. 1).
Freedom was secured by the herculean efforts of Robert the Bruce and the Scots, not by some Pope in Rome.
If it was up to referendum, the English people would grant the Scots immediate independence. Whether the Scots wanted it or not -- and by 2-1 they don't.
After seeing the translation in post 11, I think the only problem is in the original article, which leaves out the "Monday after" part and implies that the writer of the letter observed All Saints' on Nov. 7. That said, it is somewhat curious that All Saints' is referred to on Nov. 7, and so the other discussion is worthwhile.
Observing an octave can have two meanings—observing the eighth day or observing eight days. In practice, the two often intersected, with Day one having the biggest splash, day eight having the second biggest splash, and days two through seven having a lesser splash yet. The Octave of Christmas as presently observed is a good example of that.
While all western European countries may have been using the same calendar in the secular sense of the word (though one of the earlier posts brought this into question in an interesting way via ides and calends), I am fairly certain that the variation in liturgical calendar was probably significant. November 1 was certainly All Saints pretty well everywhere in the west, but whether it was observed everywhere with an octave, and the same sort of octave, is not something that I'm particularly confident of—I am a theologian who has taught some liturgical history and so have read a reasonable amount in the field, and I would hesitate to draw or believe conclusions without seeing a fair number of documents from the era or at least copious references to such documents.
All that said, this document would certainly point to observance as an octave in some sort in France.
Then again, only one third of the American population wanted freedom from Britain 1776-1783. A third opposed it, and the latter third sat on the fence. Contrary to the myth an entire nation rose up against the hated British.
Exactly so. In 1307 Robert the Bruce was excommunicated by the Catholic church. 1314 at Bannockburn was the beginning of the end for the English in Scotland. In 1320 the Pope threatened to excommunicate all Scots who failed to kowtow to King Edward II. The peace treaty signed in 1328 finalized Scotland's independance.
Scotsman will be Free:
That may be true on the milatary side. However, in teh 1300's, that is 200 years before Fr. Martin Luther fell into dissident thinking and lead started the Protestant Rebellion.
So, the Pope recognizing Scotlands freedom gave it the diplomatic and legal recognition as well as the moral backing of Rome that meant other nation states, we are talking about Catholic Christendom in Western Europe at the time, all then were compelled to recognize Scotland as a free state.
This is a fact of history that Scotlands Reformed and Calvinist don't want to admit, tsk, tsk,
I suggest that you read a little further as in the Bruce being excommunicated in 1307 and the Pope threatening to excommunicate all Scots who didn't kowtow to Edward II in 1320. Tsk, tsk.
Scotsman will be free:
Again, all these guys were Catholic in the 1300's and again, when the Pope finally recognized Scotland as independent, that is when the rest of Europe followed, otherwise, you would have had other countries claiming Scotland for themselves and trying to conquer it thru milatary expansion.
Scotsman will be Free:
I am aware that Bruce was excommunicated and that all of Scotland was placed under interdict by the Pope [i.e. No Eucharist could be celebrated and sacraments will not to be administered unless death of a person was imminent].
The Pope's intent, was to get the war stopped. Edward at first promised to ask the Pope to lift the interdict on the Scottish people while still claiming Scotland as part of England. When he broke his promise, the Pope began to refer to Robert Bruce as King of England and within 5 years, the Pope lifted the interdict on the Scottish people and King Bruce, which then gave diplomatic recognition of Scotland as a free state.
In other words, the Pope of Rome was the first to formally recognize Scotland as free as No other country or King came out in favor of Robert Bruce and against England until the Pope recognized Scotland and King Bruce as Independent.
That is the only point I am making, early on, the Pope did want the war stopped and wanted the Scots to accept English rule but as the violation of the Scotish rights by the English grew, as well as England's oppression of the Irish, eventually the Pope did in fact recognize Scotand's freedom and he did intervene in the English oppression of the Irish, although unfortunately, the Irish did not have the same sense of National unity and lacked the leadership that Robert Bruce provided for the Scotts.
Again, I don't disagree with you about Robert Bruce winning on the battlefield but politically it was Pope John XXII who was the first "head of state" as the Pope was the head of the papal states as well as the Bishop of Rome to formally recognize Scotland as a sovereign state.
edit to my earlier post.
Refer to King Bruce as the King of Scotland
The Pope merely accepted the inevitable and was playing politics. He sided with the english because they were the most powerful. When they got whipped, he changed his tune.
Other european countries claim Scotland? The French were allies of Scotland. Who else would claim it, and more importantly, enforce their claim? The Scots were free, freed themselves, and the Pope was a day late and a dollar short. Refusal to recognize that many Popes, if not all of them, played man's game by man's rules when they engaged in what is termed "The Great Game" is simply ignoring reality. Sympathy for the down trodden wasn't part of the equation in Scotland, and I doubt that it was in Ireland, either.
Scotsman will be Free:
The rivalry of the French and English is well established. So it is never so easy as you would like. France siding with Scotland who is fighting with England is something that I am sure the Church viewed as potentially dangerous with England and France getting into war. Ireland was also oppressed by England.
France sided with Scotland's cause because of its rivalry with England more than the concern of Scotland's independence.
Once the Pope recognized Scotland's independence, then all of Europe really had no choice but to recognize it as well as at that time you were still over 200 years before the Protestant Rebellion.
So whether you want to admit it or not, the Pope's recognition of Scotland did provide the diplomatic means for all of Europe to follow suite.
And I think the Pope's saw what was starting in the 1300's, the gradual rise of Nationalism, which is not necessarily bad, but as the rise of nationalism took hold in the 1300's, the notion of Christendom began to fade, and consequences of milatant nationalism, without a common Christian theology and philosophy to bind different ethnic groups together is ultimately what resulted in 2 world wars in the 20th century.
So from a Catholic point of view, and I will acknowledge it as such, the rise of nationalism in the 1300's were one of the main causes of the Protestant rebellion in the 16th century which implicitly had radical nationalistic notions at its core.
Of course France's siding with Scotland was politically expedient. All alliances are. As you stated, France and England went to war with each other frequently so I doubt the Pope viewed this particular conflict as anymore dangerous than the ones before.
The bottom line is that I don't place my faith in man. Any man that has ever lived is capable of doing wrong, and does wrong, Popes included. Popes, Bishops, and Priests played political games all of the time. Many did it for what they thought would be best for the Catholic church and others did it for themselves. That's human nature and that's just the way it was and is.
If it was good for Catholicism for the Scots to be subjugated by the English why did that viewpoint change? Politics, pure and simple.
Thanks for the discussion.
Scotsman will be Free:
Nobody is doubting Pope's sin, no orthodox Catholic would ever make such a claim because that would be theological nonsense. In the 14th century, Popes were involved in the affairs of politics as were everyone else. Politics is a human activity and as Popes are human, they too have to deal in the realm of politics as well, not so much today in terms of making policy and governing secular and civil matters, as was the case then, but all of us, including Popes are impacted by politics.
I don't think it was good for the Catholic Church to have Scotland and Irelend subjugated by England. What I think was that the Pope did not want to see a full scale war where unecessary human life was lost due to the political rivalry of England and France, who along with Spain at the time, were the the 3 dominant European powers.
Yes, one in hindsight would have hoped that the Pope would have recognized Scotland's independence earlier, i.e 1320 than 1325-1326 when Pope John XXII finally did. Nevertheless, the Pope did finally do so even if it rangled the feathers of other European Kings and Civil rulers, England included.
Again, I think the Pope did not recognize Scotlands independence in 1320 in order to help prevent a War between England and France [who was supporting Scotland]. In fact, in 1324, a war did break out between England and France [The Saint-Sardos War] and with the defeat of England, Henry II stepped down as King and a treaty was signed between England and France. Once there was a treaty in place, then Scotland was recognized by Rome.

Sorry for the double thread post, cut me some slack, I'm still getting used to this site
Hi all, long time list'ner, first time caller. I just got back from riding the Montour "wooded" trails. Although the trails are mostly ridable with deadwood debris as the main obstacle; there are some downed trees too. Sooo, I geuss my main question is who owns the land? I know that the land is not posted and publicly hunted. Are there any repercussions to doing my own trail maintnence? I live close to the trail-head lot across from "Brother's Grimm" and am tired of waiting for someone else to maintain the trails I want to ride.
Just trying to be proactive and display some initiative, but want to respect the property too. Any thoughts??

"Ignorance Is This!" explores the strange way that we, as humans, tell stories to each other. Whether it be major religion, local news, or a husband/wife conversation there are ways that we communicate our point with bias and without realizing it.
Following, loosely, the path of Jesus through adolescence and early adulthood a spotlight will be shined on our own strange societal habits."

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Together, these texts not only discuss the "hidden meaning" of the Prajnaparamita Sutras—the paths and bhumis of sravakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas—but also serve as contemplative manuals for the explicit topic of these sutras—emptiness—and how it is to be understood on the progressive… Read More

This is the fictionalized account of how Dutch master painter Johannes Vermeer's most famous work might have come to be, told from the point of view of Griet (Scarlett Johansson), a teenage girl who leaves her family's care in the country to become a servant for the Vermeer household in the comparatively bustling, canal-laden burgh of Delft. She catches the eye of the taciturn, reclusive Vermeer (Colin Firth), and over a period of time, he begins to craft her portrait.

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator.
As we enter the final days of the International AIDS Conference here in Vienna, I have been heartened and encouraged by much of the recent news coming forth on the AIDS epidemic. PEPFAR, working through USAID, sponsored the CAPRISA 004 microbicide trial; the results announced here demonstrated new promise in developing additional tools to help women protect themselves from HIV. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 5 million people worldwide have access to HIV treatment, a twelvefold increase from 2003. And the United Nations announced a 25 percent decline in HIV prevalence among youth in some of the hardest-hit countries in Africa. All of these developments are due in part to the extraordinary generosity of the American people.
At this conference, some have expressed concern regarding the overall resource levels to fight the global AIDS epidemic. Concentrating solely on dollars spent is a false metric of success. Rather, we should be concentrating on the numbers of people that now have access to prevention, care and treatment services, and working to support countries as they move to universal access. Through the efforts of multiple partners, WHO reports that more than 1.2 million were newly enrolled in treatment services last year -- representing the largest single-year increase in the history of the epidemic. At this conference, both President Bill Clinton and Bill Gates highlighted the ways in which cost-effective interventions, like male circumcision and task-shifting for health workers, can enable us to maximize the impact of our investments.
In PEPFAR -- the program that I am honored to lead -- we have been working not only to increase investments in prevention, care and treatment, but also to identify efficiencies and get the best value for money with our activities. Doing so will allow us to continue to scale up the services that provided treatment for nearly 2.5 million people and care for nearly 11 million people in FY 2009. Recent studies show that PEPFAR's cost per-patient on treatment has declined to $436. This decrease is due in no small part to efficiencies we've been able to gain in service delivery and commodity procurement, including over $320 million saved through the use of generic ARVs through 2008. And all of these statistics don't capture the overall health systems strengthening impact of U.S. government investments in HIV/AIDS. The clinics we've renovated and built through PEPFAR house a multitude of services for communities impacted by HIV.
In this time of global economic crisis, the U.S. government is not only continuing, but expanding its leadership in the global AIDS response. Data just released at the International AIDS Conference reveals that the United States alone finances more than half of the global response to HIV/AIDS -- roughly 58% of the total. President Obama's 2011 budget request increases resources not only for HIV/AIDS, but other global health programs as well. These resources will help us to achieve our Global Health Initiative goals of supporting treatment for more than 4 million people, as well as care for more than 12 million and prevention for millions more.
In addition to PEPFAR, the U.S. government is also the largest contributor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. President Obama's FY 2011 budget request of $1 billion for the Global Fund is the largest request ever made. The Global Fund is especially important as a vehicle for donors that, unlike the United States, do not have large bilateral programs such as PEPFAR. In many countries around the world, PEPFAR and the Global Fund work in close conjunction with each other to support countries in responding to the AIDS epidemic, as well as the systems needed to respond to other health challenges.
There is still much more to do to turn the tide against this epidemic, and the U.S. commitment to those living with HIV/AIDS is unequivocal. I hope that we can build upon the momentum of this week in Vienna in partnership with countries, donors, multilaterals, people living with HIV, civil society, and the private sector. Two years from now, when we gather in Washington, DC for the next International AIDS Society conference, I look forward to being able to discuss the further gains we've made because of our commitment to efficiency, effectiveness, country ownership, and a shared global response to this epidemic.

Unless we expand our approaches to HIV/AIDS,
We will always be making Ribbons on the beach

Please, would you mind helping come to you and give my treatment of HIV/AIDS by you for medical trial and make sure a way to win HIV is found?

Fluids including SIS Electrolyte available at the end. Coffee and cakes back at the clubhouse were excellent. NICE !!!!!!!!!!Date of review: January 18, 2009
In short: A great race, well organised and brilliant for this time of the year.In full: A better marker at the finish would be nice. A challenging climb which you get to do 3 times soon sorts out the over keen. Only issue this year IPODS. I hate to mention them but in a 3 lap twisty 5km it can be very frustrating trying to get past people who swerve and don't here you asking for the fast line. See you next year :¬)Date of review: December 27, 2008
In short: Varied course with good marshalling and mince piesIn full: Well run race with excellent facilities and good marshals. The only downside for me was the presentation. It was well done but took a little while to organise so quite a few people had left. Great race though and will be back next year.Date of review: December 21, 2008
In short: Well run with good marshalls and food.In full: 2nd year of doing this and it is obvious that it is very well planned. Brilliant race and even the weather was ok.Date of review: December 15, 2008
In short: Terrible new course In full: Bottle necks, switchbacks, lumpy narrow pavement. Pure naff but probably fast. That and some great marshalling are the only good things but probably not good enough to make me bother with it again. Oh, the Hovercrafts were cool.Date of review: November 16, 2008
In short: Good course well marshalled In full: Everything a good race needs.Date of review: August 17, 2008
In short: Hot on a tough course with excellent marshalls and plenty of waterIn full: Walk to the start was different but all worked well for me. The course was more undulating than I expected which made it a tough day out. Loved the sunshine and the goodbag was probably the best one I have ever had.Date of review: July 29, 2008
In short: Something different and a little mad.In full: YouTube video does not do the climb justice. If you like something crazy then this is one for you, if you want to run the whole way then this is not the race for you. That aside well organised in a lovely location.Date of review: March 17, 2008
