Messy exits from Melbourne
My elderly mother flew to Melbourne from Ireland, using an airline's "meet and assist" service as she has done for many years. She emerged from customs in a wheelchair in the company of a pleasant airline female employee pushing the chair and a man bringing her luggage in a trolley.
The female employee advised that I had been bought a gift from the Melbourne duty-free store and I was shown the purchase. We both then bent down to assist my mother out of the wheelchair. On standing, my mother wished to thank the man for his help, but he had disappeared and, as we later found out, so had our duty-free goods.
Petty, opportunistic and heartless conduct towards an older person, you bet. Other passengers arriving in Melbourne, be warned.
- David Greenwood
Further to complaints from others on a slow exit from Melbourne International Airport (Traveller Letters, November 24-25), last month I returned from Paris to experience slow, long, frustrating and basically poor service. It took an hour through passport control (either electronic or normal), then another hour through luggage exit.
As an Australian returning home after a 23-hour trip, this was clearly the last thing I needed. Who knows what the international tourists made of it? Heathrow puts Melbourne to shame.
Surely there are managers who should cater for expected heavy workloads.
Not good enough.
- Michael Assimo
B&Bs pay price for high charges
Philip Howe advises readers of the many costs, including food, inflating his B&B overheads (Traveller Letters, November 17-18). While Howe's B&B, at $150 a night, may be cheap by Australian standards, my recent trip to England revealed that good, small three-star rural hotels charged £55-£80 ($84-$122) for an en suite room with excellent cooked breakfasts included. The savings on my month-long trip compared with a month of similar Australian accommodation paid the airfare.
Let's not kid ourselves, we charge like a wounded bull for accommodation in Australia - anything from $30 internet access to $35 buffet breakfasts, plus exorbitant room charges.
- Richard Ellis
It is easy to feel sympathetic about the cost pressures experienced by Philip Howe in running his B&B. However, sympathy is not going to help if B&Bs here remain expensive relative to other parts of the world and customers go elsewhere. His beef should be directed towards the bodies responsible for the unnecessary fees and other imposts he and his suppliers of everything from food to bedding pay in this over-administered state and country. And we, Howe's potential lodgers, should join him in his effort. It will benefit all of us, not just B&B owners.
- Bob Liddelow
Archaeologists dig up a treat
Many readers of Traveller will already have been familiar with the 7 St Georges Tavern near Paphos, which received a mention in the feature on Cyprus (Traveller, November 17-18). Several hundred students and volunteers have taken part in the University of Sydney's excavations at the site of the ancient theatre in Paphos since we began in 1995, and we invariably find an opportunity to enjoy the fine food at that taverna, usually as a celebration at the end of the season. Although your writer included his conversation with the proprietor, it was a pity his charming wife was not enticed out of the kitchen: she hails from Melbourne and is always willing to practise Australian idiom.
- Richard Green
ESTA guidance
My advice to Graham de Vahl Davis (Traveller Letters, November 24-25) would be to use a good travel agent and he would not fall into the trap of paying more than he should for his ESTA (electronic travel authorisation to the US). I am a travel agent and at the end of each of my emails, below the signature, I have a link to the official ESTA, so there is no risk clients will go to one of the sites charging the exorbitant prices Davis quotes. Savvy travellers are learning that arranging travel is not just about search and click, and are returning to the professional services of a travel agent.

The Spiciest Scenes of Salma Hayek
We uncover this Mexican beauty's hottest times on camera.
While the sexy and enticing Mexican-born beauty Salma Hayek is a relative newcomer to all things Hollywood, she certainly has ingrained herself in our memory in just a few short, seductive performances. After moving to Los Angeles to study acting under legend Stella Adler, this gorgeous Lebanese-Mexican vixen was given her first big break by Robert Rodriguez in his mariachi film Desperado, costarring Antonio Banderas.
Desperado Sex Scene
Hayek's considerable acting talent has boosted her to fame with such performances as Frida, for which she was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar; The Maldonado Miracle, a Showtime film that garnered her a Daytime Emmy; and primetime comedy Ugly Betty, which she produced and guest starred in, resulting in a nod for Outstanding Guest Actress.
From Dusk Till Dawn – Sexy Dance
It's Hayek's lesser-known roles that have catapulted this spicy actress into the hearts of guys everywhere. In the cult horror thriller From Dusk Till Dawn, while Hayek doesn't play one of the lead acting roles, she may just win for the best sexy entrance we've ever seen as the vampire stripper Santánico Pandemonium. While we have no doubt that Hayek could hold her own alongside George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino, we're much happier with her doing this seductive dance than either of them.
It's always a welcome surprise when an actor or actress returns to doing something they're good at. In this case, Hayek's stellar stripper dance from Dusk Till Dawn was great training for entertaining the guys from Dogma with a naughty schoolgirl-esque routine on the pole while decked out in silky pink lingerie. While her role in this year's Savages as a Mexican drug lord was definitely hot, we're looking forward to her sports comedy Here Comes the Boom in October.

Asia Entertainment & Resources Heads For Hong Kong Dual Listing; Hope For Better Valuation
Not every Macau gaming company is investors' darling.
Nasdaq-listed VIP Macau gaming company Asia Entertainment & Resources (AERL) is heading to Hong Kong for a dual listing.
Sterne Agee analyst David Bain expects the company to apply for a listing within a month. Here are the details:
AERL is in the process of finalizing its prospectus for its HK Listing. The final listing is scheduled for completion before the end of the year.
The HK Listing should be by Introduction. In a Listing by Introduction, a Company which has shares already in issuance on another exchange can list its shares on the SEHK (provided it meets certain requirements) without raising new funds/issuing new shares.
A dual-listing decision was driven by overtures from Mainland Chinese and HK institutional investors, combined with management/BOD frustration over its US market equity multiple.
In other words, AERL feels U.S. investors do not understand its business model and Asian investors know better.
How does this news affect U.S. investors?
First, this listing does not involve issuing new shares, which means there is no dilution. Management and cornerstone investors have already purchased $60 million AERL stocks in the U.S. that they intend to list in Hong Kong. AERL has $161 million market cap.
Second, if indeed Asian investors know better and AERL is chronically undervalued, by international arbitrage, sentiments towards AERL will improve. According to Sterne Agee, 54% of the shares the company management purchased were bought at 17% premium to market price with a 24-month lock-up period, signaling their confidence.
The broker gives a target price of $9,5, and a Buy, citing attractive valuations. AERL looks like a cash cow right now. Its free-cash-flow yield is 28%. The target price has a 130% upside.

We'd heard that Sting and family had stopped by the week before, and we saw the Mayor chatting with the staff as we settled in at our table, so it felt like we were part of the "in-crowd" when we recently dined at Bravo. Many of the people, including us, were grabbing a bite before the show at Trinity Rep, just across the street.
The polished wood surfaces, the rough brick walls, and the burgundy banquettes provide a warm, homey feel to Bravo. The dark colors are lightened by the large windows lining two sides of the L-shaped space, and mirrors on the other two sides of the main dining room reflect the glow of chandeliers and small wall lamps.
The staff at Bravo is just as welcoming, making you feel that no question is silly and that a special request for speedy service is all in a day's work. The latter was particularly crucial when the friends whom we were meeting before the theater were delayed by babysitter issues.
Not wanting to rush ourselves, we started our meal without them. We watched steamed mussels (with pommes frites), steamed littlenecks, and calamari (Provençal-style with tomatoes, olives and capers) float by on trays to other tables. We smelled the burgers (in several variations) being served. We noted the generous size of the salads, but our professional duties called us to peruse the entrées.
There were slightly larger portions of the moules frites (mussels with fries) and Bravo mussels (with chorizo and charred onions), along with skirt steak, tenderloins, rack of lamb, and de rigeuer in Rhode Island, two pasta dishes. Bill chose a special that night of veal scallopini ($18), which was served over a bed of greens, just perfect for his attempts at avoiding carbs. He was very pleased with the wine sauce, the tenderness of the paillards, and the generous amount of mushrooms, "one for every bite."
I considered the seafood dishes — sal¬mon, scallops, or sole — and settled on the less sibilant cod, indeed pan-roasted cod Basquaise ($16), with Espelette peppers (from the town of Espelette in the Pyrenees). The peppers, along with tomatoes, parsley, white wine, and capers, gave the sauce around the fish a distinct taste, similar to Portuguese cuisine and quite delicious.
Though we had already tucked into these main dishes when our dinner companions arrived, we had also enjoyed two opening items, the roasted beet salad for me ($8) and the French onion soup for Bill ($5). The salad was tasty, with orange vinaigrette tossed over the beets, cara¬melized fennel, and goat cheese crostini. Bill's soup had that sharp nutty taste of Gruyère melted on top.
Enter the latecomers, who made quick decisions for the crab cake ($11), Niçoise salad ($9), and scallops ($18). The crab cake was almost large enough for a meal, served with a nice Asian slaw and a chipotle aioli.
Any of the salads can be ordered with grilled chicken or shrimp or seared tuna, but since a Niçoise is usually includes tuna, none of us noticed that it's served naked here if not specified. A generous portion of mixed greens, baby potatoes, green beans, and tiny black Niçoise olives was tossed in a sherry Dijon vinaigrette, but, alas, no tuna.
The other half of the couple, however, was chowing down on a plate heaped with mashed potatoes, some wilted spinach, and over it all, a shallot tarragon cream sauce and pan-seared scallops. He was quite pleased.
We all shared a portion of flourless chocolate cake that was very good, and on a subsequent visit, I had a bowl of passionfruit sorbet, which was a wonderful blend of tart, sweet and cold.
The indoor scene at Bravo is built around the long bar area, with a good wine list, some striking cocktails, a raw bar, and some inventive sandwiches (though any menu item can be ordered there).
On warm summer nights, Bravo is even more of a place to see and be seen because there's service at outdoor tables on Empire Street. Lighter items are often ordered outside or at the bar, including the burgers ($8/$9, with fries) or sandwiches ($10-$14), such as a lobster club, grilled chicken, or steak sandwich, the latter with tenderloin tips, mushrooms, onions and Gruyère.
Unlike its predecessors in this same location, Bravo seems to have really adapted to the neighborhood and made itself a place for all seasons, all appetites — and all those demands of "get me to the show on time!"Bravo Brasserie | 123 Empire St, Providence | Kitchen: 11 am-11:30 pm; bar: 11 am-1 am, Fri + Sat till 2 am | Major credit cards | Full bar | Sidewalk-level access | 401.490.5112On the Web

Americans love sugar. According to the USDA, each of us consumes more than 150 pounds of added sugar every year (or about 50 teaspoons daily), making the United States the largest consumer of sweeteners worldwide.
So where does most of this sugary goodness come from? Mainly from heavily processed snack foods, baked goods and soft drinks all loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. HFCS is a highly refined sweetener made from corn starch, and one that is widely used by food manufacturers because it is inexpensive to produce and transport.
The problem, experts say, comes with the health risks associated with HFCS and how it works in the body. Put simply, it affects healthy blood sugar levels and insulin regulation, which helps to explain why a diet high in HFCS has been linked to increased risk of obesity and obesity-related disease. And now scientists have found another reason to caution Americans against the common sweetener.
A recent study found that pancreatic cancer cells use fructose to multiply in the body, which supports previous studies that have linked a high-HFCS diet with higher rates of pancreatic cancer. It has to do with how fructose and glucose—the two main components of HFCS—are metabolized in the body, and scientists found that cancer cells had an easier time metabolizing fructose in order to thrive.
More research is planned to help scientists better understand the relationship between sugar metabolism and increased cancer risk, but experts hope that studies like this one will increase awareness about the dangers of eating too much sugar.

Detroit's time has come: Shinola unveils 4 new city clocks
The time has come.
Shinola/Detroit LLC celebrated the unveiling of four city clocks this morning with a short ceremony at the site of one of the clocks, outside Cobo Center.
The Cobo clock, featuring LED lights and a stainless steel casing, has a diameter of more than 3 feet and stands 13 feet tall.
- at Eastern Market. Shed 3 is the temporary home of a wall-mounted city clock. The clock eventually will be on a pole outside Shed 5, which is undergoing renovations.
- in Midtown. A pole-mounted clock sits on the site of a future dog park on the corner of Cass Avenue and West Canfield Street, and near Shinola's Detroit headquarters and watch factory.
- outside the College for Creative Studies. The pole-mounted clock can be found at the corner of West Milwaukee Street and Cass Avenue.
Crain's first reported Shinola's plans for city clocks last month. The clock outside Cobo will be relocated to a new Cobo Square, linking the north-facing side of the building — where the new food court is located — with West Jefferson Avenue.
"City clocks became popular fixtures as early as the mid-1800s," said Shinola President Jacques Panis. "The Kern's clock downtown was always a popular meeting spot after it was introduced in the 1930s. We thought it was fitting for Detroit to have some more city clocks."
The clocks were produced by Electric Time Co. Inc., based in Medfield, Mass. One of the few remaining manufacturers of city clocks, it made the clock that tops Tiffany & Co.'s famous Fifth Avenue store in New York City.

"Squish and Squeeze – Nuclear Biomechanics and Mechanotransduction in Health and Disease"
Department of Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
"Squish and Squeeze – Nuclear Biomechanics and Mechanotransduction in Health and Disease"
Jan Lammerding, Ph.D.
Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Cornell University
Abstract: The cell nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. Recent discoveries provide compelling evidence that the physical properties of the nucleus are critical for a multitude of cellular functions. For example, neutrophils have evolved characteristic lobulated nuclei that increase their physical plasticity, enabling passage through narrow tissue spaces in their response to inflammation; nuclei in muscle cells on the other hand have to withstand rigorous mechanical stress during contraction, requiring mechanically robust nuclei. Not surprisingly then, defects in nuclear structure and organization, for example, by mutations or altered expression of the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C, can contribute to a large number of human diseases, ranging from muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies to premature aging and cancer. In the Lammerding laboratory, we are developing novel experimental techniques to study the structure of the nucleus and its physical properties in mutant and wild-type cells, to investigate the physical coupling between the nucleus and the cytoskeleton, and to examine how changes in these properties can modulate cellular functions. While many of the projects in our laboratory are aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases caused by mutations or altered expression of nuclear envelope proteins, our research also provides important insights into the normal functions of these proteins.

Fire damages Nisswa home
The Nisswa Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 7, at 8995 Garden View Road, Nisswa.
Nisswa Fire Chief Richard Geike said the home, owned by Jamie Burnard, was not a total loss but had extensive smoke damage. Geike said Burnard arrived home and realized that the home was on fire.
Geike said the cause of the fire appeared to be from a water line attached to the refrigerator. Geike said the water from the line actually helped contain the fire.
There were no injuries. Nearly 20 firefighters were on scene, including firefighters from Mission and Pequot Lakes fire departments, North Ambulance and Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office.

Victim identified in deadly apartment fire
WASHINGTON, BEAUFORT COUNTY - The Washington Fire Department responded to a fatal fire early Wednesday morning.
The fire was reported at the Highland Apartments located in Beaufort County in the town of Washington off Harding Street, according to Chief Robbie Rose with the Washington Fire Department.
Crews were on scene around 12:30 a.m. and reported heavy flames from an upstairs apartment.
Crews did discover one fatality, said Chief Rose. He has been identified as 59-year-old Larry Dickerson.
We were told the area of the fire's origin was the living room in one of the apartments and it suffered major damage.
Neighbors said they could hear Dickerson's cry for help.
"They told me that they heard a guy pounding on the floor screaming, 'help me help me' and that was it. After a while he just stopped," neighbor Abbie Parker said.
Heat damage was also reported to an adjacent upstairs apartment, along with water damage reported in two lower units, said Chief Rose.
Four to five people have been displaced and the Red Cross has been called to help those victims.

Has any one used the Molle grenade pouch for a 10 round 7.62x39 Saiga mag? I had read an old post that said they will work but I was looking on Ebay and the dimension that was given was a little short. It said 4 inches tall but my 10 round mags are 4.5 inches.
Does any one have another military ammo pouch that works well for you?

Marsala Wine
Hi folks, I was just wondering whether anyone could name a good/cheap marsala wine that I could buy from Sainsbury's? Or is there a cheap similar alternative?
A recipe I want to do asks for it, but I thought I'd check here before I chuck any old red in...

Re: Marsala Wine
Do you need a fortified wine? That's usually what people talk about when they say Marsala, but the wine's actually got a huge range of flavors. Maybe the most important thing is the difference in sweetness and alcohol levels. Which marsala you pick might depend on what exactly you're cooking and what you want to achieve.
You're right that you don't need to spend a fortune as long as you're cooking with it. But you might want to decide if the recipe calls for a high alcohol or low alcohol Marsala (anywhere between 15% and 20% alcohol)... and how sweet you want it (this isn't shown on the bottle, but it can vary a lot too)
What are you cooking, out of curiosity?

Re: Marsala Wine
I tend to sub out Marsala with either Commandaria or Nama as it's cheaper here. Muscat should work too. I'm guessing a cheap sherry would also work.

Re: Marsala Wine
If you were doing that I would think that you wold be better off using a reasonable sherry , some of the cheaper ones sometimes have a sort of chemically after taste.
I would also make sure it was a sweet sherry used rather than a dry sherry.
I think that Masala has quite a good flavour and I would try hard to find it for the recipe.
#5 Tue 23 Aug 11 7:05pm
Re: Marsala Wine
Thanks for your thoughts/advice everyone!
The recipe I'm using it in is 'open lasagne of roasted squash and wild mushrooms with sage butter' from the MasterChef at Home cookbook (recipe by Tim Kinnaird). It literally just says '3 tbsp Marsala wine', which is cooked with the mushrooms.
All I can find at home at the mo is a sweet white port, red wine and a bottle of red vermouth. The vermouth would seem to make a good substitute?
Thanks again for your help!

Re: Marsala Wine
oh no ....its quite different.
Masala and mushrooms go very well , I had a dish served to me once that was wild mushrooms with a masala sauce ... it was delicious.
Do you have an offlicence near where you live ?

Re: Marsala Wine
If you do track down the Marsala, remember it works very well in sweet dishes too. Try it in Trifle instead of the more usual Sherry, or Syllabubs/Mousses, or a small amount in fresh Fruit Salad in the Winter.............you can also mix a spoonful or two to whipped cream to serve with Mince Pies at Xmas!
#8 Thu 25 Aug 11 11:08am
Re: Marsala Wine
I think Sainsbury's is actually closer to me than the nearest off-licence haha! I did use the vermouth in the end, I know it's not correct but I didn't have time to get the marsala. The dish was absolutely fantabulous, definitely recommend it - I will post a slightly adjusted version on my blog soon.
But yes, I will buy a bottle of marsala on my next shopping trip, as I want to make this again, using the marsala, and I like the fact that it keeps once opened. Thanks for the tips minerva, sounds delicious!!

Thanks for going out on a limb with the vermouth. I'm actually more intrigued by that idea than the masala mushrooms (which I've had before). Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing.

No worries! It seemed worked to work well. I will post the link here, though it may be a few weeks before it actually happens!

Just back from Pi-Con, "The friendliest little convention in New England." It really was. Both little and friendly. I kept myself quite busy for the weekend selling my family's TeaPunk line of products in the dealers row, speaking on panels, leading a songwriting workshop, and performing with my band the Subs. My daughter was with me since she's the artist of TeaPunk and the drummer in my band. There were maybe a handful of younger people there; it's an adult convention for fans of science fiction and fantasy. She was still happy, since everyone was chatty and nice (and bought her stuff…).
For me, it was great to be around people who like what I like. Total geeks, but in a low-key way. Friday at Pi-Con started off with my daughter leading a fun jam session with percussion. We set up our shop next to great neighbors (The Dragon's Design and Sunspot Designs) and attended a panel where my GeekmMom t-shirt was applauded (Yay!). The day finally ended with me (minus my daughter) watching a burlesque show. I had never seen one before and it was … OK. I thought it was supposed to be mostly comedy with some strip-tease, but it was strip-tease with some comedy. However, the women were beautiful and voluptuous with gorgeous costumes. My favorite act was Cookie Monster stripping and eating a plate of cookies. Sounds strange, but it was hilarious.

Local potato chip plant staying closed after fire
FULTON, Mo. (AP) - A potato chip plant in Fulton will remained closed for the rest of the week after a brief fire caused some damage but no injuries.
The fire at Backer's Potato Chips on Tuesday apparently began when oil clogged a heat exchanger and caught fire. Plant manager Bill Metz told The Fulton Sun the plant has two heat exchangers, which are the size of a firetruck, that pair with two cookers to make the chips.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze and said the damage was mostly from smoke.
Metz said about 10 employees were inside the building when the fire broke out. Backer's has about 100 employees and most were not at work because of Tuesday's snowstorm.

The essays in Confessing History consider the challenges facing Christian historians and probe the relationship between Christian calling and the multi-faceted work of historians. The essays, ranging from the theoretical to the practical, explore the ways that Christian faith speaks into the multiple discourses and communities of which historians are a part.
Noted historian Donald Yerxa, Director of The Historical Society at Boston University says in his review of Confessing History, "How to reconcile religious commitment with the practices of the guild is one of the really big questions for believing historians. Confessing History is essential reading not only for them, but also for any wishing to understand the important issues at stake. In its pages we witness the concerns, questions, and yearnings of a new generation of believing historians-and perhaps even the contours of a new approach to Christian historical scholarship."

I am seriously running behind in my Christmas sewing and one of the things that really slows me down in the end is the binding. How awful would it be if I just serged the edges?
Printable View
I am seriously running behind in my Christmas sewing and one of the things that really slows me down in the end is the binding. How awful would it be if I just serged the edges?
If it was me .. I would opt to machine sew all parts of the binding , instead of the serging option. You may want to consider sewing the binding to the back( machine) bringing the final fold to the front and top stitching the final stitching of the binding, by machine. Use a thread color that closely matches the backing fabric , in the bobbin when doing the final top stitching.
Also use Elmer's washable glue to hold it in place.
I would opt for sewing the binding on by machine, instead of serging the edges. This way it still looks finished.
I use a decorative stitch on my machine when I sew the binding on the front...it makes the stitches wider so it covers all of the area, you don't have to be too careful about sewing exactly straight and it gives it some whimsy! Also, I find if I make the binding strips 3" instead of 2-1/2", it makes it a lot easier to do.
I don't think the serged edges would hold up to normal wear and tear, and they wouldn't look as finished as bound edges. But... you can always give the gift with the hand binding unfinished and tell them you aren't quite done and will finish the binding after Christmas.
Instead of binding, I have also turned the edges in and used a decorative stitch.
Well... What would the result be if you dropped your serger knife so as to not cut the quilt; serged the binding on the back of the quilt then folded it to the front to finish with your sewing machine and a decorative stitch?
I'm trying to machine sew the binding on my quilts and have used the straight stitch and regretted it. It wasn't straight. It was wavy. I'm ripping it out and going to try decorative stitching. Thanks for the idea ladies!!!
Not knowing how you plan to quilt these or how large they are, but another option would be to put the wrong sides tog., add batting and sew around the quilt leaving an opening for turning. Sew the opening closed and tie the quilt.
Some people refer to this way as "birthing" a quilt

So now is the time when we normally start hearing about new shows for next season, as well as about cancellations and renewals. So far we know that House has been renewed, but this could be its last year. Not due to ratings, but due to $$$. We'll have to see. Fox has also renewed Family Guy, the Cleveland Show, the Simpsons, and American Dad. They have cancelled Breaking In, Traffic Light, Lie to Me, Human Target and Chicago Code.

Reviews of this property
In September my parents and I stayed at the beautiful, comfortable and sunny appartment of Ingunn. We loved it. The location is perfect, nice and quiet, near enough to the city center to go by foot, but also no parking problems in the street. Thanks for having us.
Very nice place and host. The Roof top living area has all what you need and the host provided Basic kitchen things like tea, seasonings etc. So easy to make your own breakfast and meals. We liked closeness to Perla and the City in Walking distance. Or on evenings and Weekends you have free parking for the car in the open spaces in the City.
Lovely loft apartment near to city centre with parking. Bright, modern accommodation. Loved the heated bathroom floor. Kitchen has everything you need. Balcony great, weather permitting. Good blackout blinds in bedrooms. Thoughtful hosts.
We had a wonderful time in RoofTop Reykjavik!!!
Ingunn is great host, whenever we had a question she and her family were very friendly and helpful.
The appatrtment is very nice and comfortable, and has a fantastic balcony.
Next time in Island we hope to stay there again !!!
We hired the appartment for 4 nights, and felt it was both practical and cozy for our family of 4. We had a great time in Reykjavik, and visited some of the attractions where our kids liked the Geysir and the Blue Lagoon the best. We had a pleasant stay and felt good taken care of by our hostess. Highly recommendable :-)
We stayed in this apartment for three nights in November 2014, was absolutely excellent. The apartment was in perfect condition and the host, Ingumm was very friendly and nice. Everything was clean and well equipped and we felt at home. About 15mins walk from the centre of town . We can recommend the apartment! Thank you for a nice stay at Reykjavik.
We stayed in this apartment for four nights in September 2014, -two adults and two children. The apartment has two big bedrooms and a nice living room, bathroom and kitchen. Everything was clean and well equipped and we felt at home. Ingunn, the host, welcomed us the first day and she was very friendly and gave us tips on where to shop food and what to do with the children while we were in Reykjavik. We can recommend the apartment! Thank you for a nice stay at Iceland:)

Santiam Pass crash victim ID'd as Mt. Angel man
Seven others hurt in 3-car crash that closed Hwy. 20
SISTERS, Ore. - A Mt. Angel man was killed and seven people were injured, three seriously, in a three-car crash early Sunday afternoon on Highway 20 near Santiam Pass, blocking the highway for close to two hours, Oregon State Police reported.
Troopers said a 2008 Ford Focus driven by Ellen Freddi, 34, of Jefferson, Oregon, was heading east on Highway 20 near milepost 81 around 12:35 p.m. when she lost control on the wet roadway and her car struck the guardrail on the south side of the highway.
The Ford then continued into the oncoming, westbound lane, where it collided nearly head-on with a 2007 Honda Accord with four occupants, OSP said.
The Honda then spun broadside and then was struck on the driver's side by a 2009 Toyota RAV SUV with two occupants, they said.
The Honda's driver, identified Monday as Joshua James Shepherd, was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.
His 32-yeare-old wife, Jennifer Shepherd, 32, and two children, ages 4 and 1, initially were taken to St. Charles Bend.
Jennifer Shepherd and her 4-year-old son, Liam Shepherd, were later flown to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and Randall Children's Hospital in Portland. A hospital spokesman said Jennifer Shepherd was in serious condition and Liam Shepherd was in good condition.
Troopers said the 1-year-old daughter reportedly was unhurt.
Freddi and her passengers, Lindsey Hammons-Williams, 29, and Vanesa Silva, 31, also both of Jefferson, were taken to St. Charles Bend with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening, troopers said - although Hammons-Williams, asleep in the rear seat, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the car.
Freddi and Hammons-Williams were treated and released from thehospital, while Silva remained in fair condition at the hospital Monday, a spokeswoman said.
The Toyota RAV's driver, Steven A. Warner, 59, of Beaverton, and passenger Rosalie Warner, 55, were treated at the scene but not taken to the hospital, troopers said. Both reportedly went to a doctor later for treatment of minor injuries.
Other than Hammons-Williams, all of the occupants reportedly were using seat belts, Troopers said.
The occupants taken by AirLink and Life Flight helicopters, and Sisters and Camp Sherman ambulances to the Bend hospital.
OSP troopers from Bend, Madras and La Pine offices responded to the scene. OSP was assisted at the scene by the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District, ODOT and medics from a National Guard until traveling through the area.
"OSP extends their thanks to the National Guard personnel and other citizens who stopped to help the injured at this tragic crash prior to the arrival of emergency first responders," troopers said.
Chris Miller posted to KTVZ.COM's comment thread that he pulled two children out of the car, while his cousin removed the woman, "and it was very hard to maintain composure with the tragedy."
Miller said several motorists in the area stepped in to help, including medical professionals from nurses to respiratory therapists, and others helped Guard medics in unit HHC 2/162 unload their ambulance to get to their aid bags.
"Emergency crews arrived as fast as they could, but it was a collection of 'civilians' ... who helped the victims," he wrote.
The highway was closed until the injured parties were removed, causing a backup several miles in each direction, with no detour available. One lane reopened with a flagger by 3 p.m. and one lane in each direction an hour later.

Emily accepts resignation of clerk, fire fighter
The Emily City Council accepted the resignation of City Clerk Patricia Kestner, Tuesday, June 11, as of the end of July.
Kestner has been with the City of Emily for eight years. Prior to her time with the city, she worked as an accountant in the Twin Cities. Kestner moved into her area lake home following her husband's retirement.
Kestner resigned so that she can move back to the Twin Cities to be with family. She offered to work with the council into the month of August to assist with training, so long as she is still located in Emily.
The clerk/treasurer position will be posted, and applications will be accepted until June 30.
In other business June 11, the city:

The new amendment added additional details regarding leaf cover, stormwater filtration, property development, and even care of vegetation.
•Agreed to have a thank-you letter drafted and sent to the Outing Volunteer Library for their donations of books and turnstiles for the Emily Library.
At their May 14 regular meeting, the City learned that the Leech Lake Watershed Foundation intended to preserve a 105-acre parcel of land on Lake Roosevelt.
Paula West of the foundation presented the idea to the council. The land is being donated to the foundation by the Eggers Family. The city agreed to send a letter of support.

just casually it seems to me the double whammy of thick syrup and extreme swings in air temperatures might make any syrup feeding system a bit more complex than some here seem to suggest. matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised to find that given the nature of syrup and low temperatures that on occasion plugging of pipes might be another issue untouched by anyone's comment here.

The "post your swarm/bloom" threads are nice and all, but they are getting rather unwieldy. I realize they were originally being used by someone to map them, but that appears to be defunct. So I've taken it upon myself to setup a couple of simple Google pages to collect the data and map it.
Here is the link to a submission page. It simply asks for a location, and the date. You can optionally add a comment. The location field will accept any text: Zip code, City and State, or full address. The more information provided, the more accurate the resulting map will be. If you do not wish to share the full street address (for obvious reasons), a zip code generally works better than a city name.
This spreadsheet shows the resulting data.
This map shows the plot of the data.
It doesn't do anything fancy, like color code the plot based on date's, etc., but it should be a little easier to consult than a 90 page thread going back several years.
The functionality is identical.
Raw Data.
I can't promise anything as to how well it will handle the load, or how responsive it will be when there are hundreds of points to map, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Story highlights
- ICE keeps doctors' numbers, medical conditions and insurance information
- iStone comes with more than 300 phrases in 12 languages
- PressReader delivers 2,000 newspapers, more than 1,200 of them in English
- LocalEats culls food choices based on media reviews and diner recommendations
Next to a suitcase, the most indispensable travel accessory these days is a smartphone.
Whether you embark on a business trip, a weekend getaway or an exotic overseas vacation, phone apps exist to help make virtually every element of the experience far easier and more enjoyable. Travel apps have only been so robust in the last couple of years, but it already seems hard to remember how we managed to get anywhere without them.
In some instances, though, there are almost too many choices available. Dozens of apps exist for getting around, say, Europe, and many others are at the ready to help make a packing list. Want to monitor the status of a flight? You'll need to select from a host of frustratingly similar apps first. Sifting through everything can feel more onerous than navigating the security maze at LAX.
Finding the right apps shouldn't add stress to travel, so we identified ten that are intended to aid every stage of a trip.
Remember postcards? Postagram brings back the old snail-mail staple, but with a high-tech twist. Take a photo with your smartphone camera (or choose one from your Instagram or Facebook account), type in a short message and enter the recipients' address. A personalized postcard will appear in their actual mailbox within a few days. For iOS and Android, the app is free, postcards are 99 cents for each U.S. delivery and $1.99 for international addresses.
Organizing pre-trip research can be a challenge. Dcovery's Place Finder browser extension pulls out the points of interest mentioned in articles and other relevant pages you find online, lets you categorize them and then adds pictures, maps and directions. Sync your phone with your computer and the app puts all the information together into a handy travel guide tailored to your specific interests. The app is $3.99 for iOS.
Airports aren't exactly known as fine-dining destinations, but GateGuru helps find the hidden gems in your arrival and departure locations. Upload your itinerary and the app lists food options -- as well as shops and other services like ATMs -- along with where to find them and ratings from other fliers. The app also provides estimated wait times for security lines and last-minute deals on rental cars. The app free for iOS, Android and Windows
Lots of GPS apps offer traffic updates and voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation to help you get to your destination. Scout, however, helps find things to do once you get there. Choose local sights and attractions from an extensive catalog on its website and then sync your selections with the app for when you arrive. It also keeps up-to-date listings of recommended concerts, sporting events and other timely entertainment options so you'll always know what's happening. The app is free for iOS and Android.
Although it is probably the last thing you want to think about while traveling, having current and correct medical information is crucial if something goes wrong on a trip. ICE keeps your doctors' phone numbers, details on specific medical conditions and insurance information all in one place, where it can be accessed even when the phone is locked. The app can also translate the stored information into ten different languages. The app is $3.99 for Android.
iStone has just one function -- translation -- and it performs it extremely well. The app comes equipped with a list of more than 300 useful phrases -- "How much does it cost?" or "I'd love a room on a higher floor" -- that it can say aloud in any of 12 languages. Flip through categories, such as dining or directions, to quickly find the correct expression. And if you come across a new foreign phrase, you can record it to use later. The basic version of the app is free for iOS, but full versions of languages require in-app purchases.
A Google search will turn up plenty of restaurants in any given destination. But to narrow your culinary quest to those frequented by in-the-know foodies, you will need LocalEats. The app culls choices from dozens of cities in the United States and abroad to the essentials, all based on media reviews and diners' recommendations. Browse by categories, such as cuisine type and price range. LocalEats will find what is best near your current location, provide directions and even let you book a taxi to get there. The app is 99 cents for iOS.
For road warriors, PressReader is the best way to keep up with the happenings at home. The app delivers 2,000 newspapers from around the world to your mobile device's screen. More than 1,200 of them are in English, making it equally easy to get news about all your destinations. The interface shows each paper's actual daily layout and lets you zoom in on a page or click headlines to view a text version. If you get tired of reading all that agate type, it also has a text-to-speech option. The monlthy subscription is $29.95 for iOS, Android, Windows iPhone and Blackberry. Each download is 99 cents.
All too often the byzantine seating systems of airlines leave travelers with no attractive options. Expertflyer.com's Seat Alerts app lets you input the type of seat you prefer or even choose specific seats. Look at a seating chart for your flight, read ratings and reviews before making a selection. The app then monitors the flight's seating availability and alerts you when the one you have an eye on becomes free -- right up until the time of departure. The app is available on iOS and Android. It is free for a single alert and 99 cents for additional alerts. It costs $4.99 with an Expertflyer.com account and includes up to 30 alerts.
You could download a dozen similar apps and still not match the functionality that Travel App Box offers. Billed as the Swiss Army knife of travel apps, it is a flight tracker, currency converter, tip calculator and many other useful tools rolled into one package. It also features offline maps -- including public transportation layouts in 40 cities worldwide -- for when you are stuck somewhere without cellular or WiFi service. The app is $1.99 for iOS.

(December 27th, 1980)
EL PASO, Texas -
"I'd rather be in Miami than El Paso."
For Husker fans, players and coaches, that thought probably crossed their minds in 1980 after Nebraska lost the Big 8 championship and Orange Bowl berth in heartbreaking fashion to Oklahoma.
Instead of South Beach and stone crab, the Huskers were sent packing to the west Texas border town for tacos. It wasn't exactly an appealing destination for one of college football's premier programs.
Nebraska's opponent was a talented team from the SEC, so they needed to put their loss to the Sooners behind them. The 17th-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs, who beat then No. 1 Alabama 6-3 in conference play, looked forward to an opportunity to knock off the eighth-rated team in the country, and to move into the top 10 for the first time since 1940.
But the Big Red avoided a letdown, using an opportunistic defense to help win the field position battle in a 31-17 Sun Bowl victory.
"I thought it was a real tribute to our players to concentrate and work as hard as they did after such a disappointing loss to Oklahoma," NU head coach Tom Osborne said. "Mississippi State's raw personnel was as good as anybody's we played — and that includes Florida State and Oklahoma."
Florida State and Oklahoma were the only teams to defeat Nebraska (by four points each time) that year, and both finished ranked in the top five.
In front of only 34,723 fans, Nebraska faced a 9-2 Bulldogs squad that featured the seventh-best rushing team in the country, led by quarterback John Bond and running backs Donald Ray King and Michael Haddix. King ended up rushing for a game-high 96 yards on 23 carries, mostly on dive plays to the left side.
"They were hurting us off-tackle, but we made an adjustment in the middle of the third quarter," Husker defensive coordinator Lance Van Zandt said. The adjustment involved some changes in defensive alignments."
Those adjustments worked for a Nebraska defense ranked third in the nation in both rushing defense and total defense. The Blackshirts gave up an average of just 86.4 yards per game on the ground that season, and limited Mississippi State to 93, an average of just 2.7 yards per play.
"Our goal was to keep them from making the big play," Van Zandt said. "And we did a good job of that. But it was the turnovers which really made the difference."
In the first half, the Bulldogs two lost fumbles, one on a muffed punt, and also threw an interception as the Huskers moved to a commanding 17-0 lead.
Nebraska defensive end Jimmy Williams recovered two of the four fumbles. One of the biggest came after MSU fought back to trail 24-10 in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs ran a reverse, but the pitch went awry.
"I batted the ball, it rolled on the ground, somebody tried to pick it up and I smacked it again," Williams said. NU took over at the MSU 33 yard-line.
With the defense playing well and forcing turnovers, the Husker offense did enough to take advantage of the good field position and put some points on the board.
The Huskers' initial score came after a muffed punt by MSU's All-American receiver Mardye McDole. Nebraska recovered the ball on the Bulldog 23-yard line, setting up the Big Red in prime real estate.
On the first play of this possession, Nebraska ran a reverse to split end Todd Brown, who avoided an MSU player in the backfield, then followed his blocking for a 23-yard touchdown run. The extra point made it 7-0 with 12:30 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the second quarter, NU cornerback Ric Lindquist intercepted a Bulldog pass, leading to a 22-yard Kevin Seibel field goal for a 10-0 lead.
The defense held on the next Bulldog series and forced a punt. NU took over at its own 37, and needed only two plays to score.
Husker quarterback Jeff Quinn hooked up with Tim McCrady, who stayed inbounds on a 55-yard pass play down the sideline. Then, with 1:58 left in the first half, Quinn hit tight end Jeff Finn for an eight-yard touchdown to increase the lead to 17-0.
Nebraska might have scored again before the half ended. Defensive tackle Toby Williams recovered a State fumble at the Bulldog 27, but after moving the Huskers to the 16-yard line, Quinn fumbled while going back to pass.
The stat line showed the Huskers' first-half dominance, as they held a commanding yardage edge of 175 to 63.
MSU made more of a game of it in the second half, outscoring Nebraska 17-14, but it was too little too late, as NU worked on the clock and maintained its lead. Still, Osborne and the Huskers would have liked to have closed more strongly than they did, but the weather played a role, as temperatures got as high as 70 degrees in the second half.
"Our defense really played well until the last few minutes," Osborne said. "Then they wilted a little. But it got hot out there."
Mississippi State got into the scoring column halfway through the third quarter on a 47-yard field goal. But NU's Jimmy Williams pounced on another fumble, and fullback Andra Franklin finished off a 25-yard, five-play drive by scoring from two yards out. The PAT made it 24-3.
The Bulldogs fought back gamely with its best drive of the day, going 76 yards after the ensuing kickoff for their first touchdown, featuring pass completions of 22 and 24 yards. The score came when Bond stretched the ball across the goal line from one yard out on fourth down for the TD. That closed the gap to 24-10.
Nebraska got the touchdown back with 3:21 left in the game, on a long touchdown pass of 52 yards from Quinn to McCrady.
Mississippi State scored once more with a minute left, when Bond and Haddix teamed up on a three-yard TD pass play to make the final tally 31-17. Nebraska held a commanding advantage in total yardage (318-195) and with all the turnovers MSU suffered, it was a credit to the Bulldog defense that the game wasn't a complete blowout.
"We didn't move the ball like I thought we would," Osborne said of his offense. "I was a little disappointed in our outside running. But with their 4-3 defense, it was a little hard to get outside. The I-back plays weren't working because their tackles were giving us trouble. That's why we went with the fullback traps."
Nebraska's I-backs had a rough day. Starter Craig Johnson only had three yards on three carries, Jarvis Redwine had 42 yards on 13 carries and Roger Craig had five carries for 13 yards.
So NU went to Franklin, who led the Huskers with 17 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown. "We couldn't get outside on them, so we had to use Andra up the middle on dives and traps a lot more than we had planned," Osborne said.
That opened up the passing game, as Quinn threw 19 times, completing nine for 159 yards and two touchdowns.
"The kind of defense they played in the secondary made it possible for us to throw long. We completed some, but would have done even better if we hadn't overthrown three or four others," Osborne said.
Jimmy Williams, who was named the Most Valuable Lineman for his two fumble recoveries and six tackles, praised his team's effort.
"We had the character to lose a game to Oklahoma and come back and play like we can play. We really wanted to play. That last MSU touchdown didn't sour anything," Williams said.
Nebraska finished 10-2 and ranked No. 7 in both polls. Oklahoma, with its win over Florida State in the Orange Bowl, finished the season ranked No. 3, behind Pittsburgh and National Champion Georgia.

Hello all,
I am a regular (yearly) to the backcountry in Alaska. I have used various forms of rain gear, including gortex, and last year I bought Integral Designs eVent jacket and pants, and loved them. They were worn over a set of smartwool long underwear, as my main climbing clothing. I had to be careful not to tear the fabric, but it was very rainproof and breathable. My question is this…..every year the guide I go with invariably recommends that I bring Helly Henson Impertech raingear, which is a rubberized fabric, and several of these guides have seen gortex garments fail in Alaska's harsh environment. Is this true of all gortex, or was true in the past. I really like my current gear, and don't want to carry the weight of the Helly Hanson stuff.

I'm an Alaskan & use Pak Lite Gortex lightweight raincoat & rainpants with no problems. This summer I have been out numerous backpacking trips in serious rain. It is now rainy season, & I just got home from a climb in the Talkeetna Mountains up to a high hanging glacial valley. It rained for 3 days straight. My Simms gortex never failed. I got it for $20 the set at a gear swap! One of my friends was in rubberized H. H. fisherman's jacket & sweated like crazy while climbing. My humble opinion is that those are great for fishermen, but not great for highly active hiking & climbing. Alaska has many climates; my experience is southcentral, Denali, & Talkeetna Mts. areas.Aug 16, 2006 at 9:31 pm #1361252

Don, the Gore-Tex or eVENT (WB) did not fail in the past nor does it now when hiking in Alaska. In contrast, the companion durable water repellent (DWR)treatment on the outside of the fabric can be quickly worn off the WB garment by abrasion. Once the DWR is gone, the garments wet out on the outside. Next the wind evaporates the water on the outside surface creating convection cooling of the garment. Next condensation forms on the inside of the garment because the dew point is lowered from the cooling.
I just returned today from 1 ½ months of kayaking and hiking in SE Alaska. Last year I spent the same time period in SC Alaska. I experienced this abrasion phenomenon this year and last.
During both trips most locals I met were wearing HH rubberized type rain gear and Xtratuff type rubberized knee high boots for good reason.
The first 16 days of my trip it rained every day and the temperature ranged between the 40's and about 60. I wore a Gore-Tex dry suit to kayak with and eVENT jacket / pants to camp and hike with. The Gore-Tex dry suit maintained its DWR for the entire trip since it wasn't exposed to lot of abrasion. My eVENT rain jacket/pants worked perfectly for the first three weeks. One day of the fourth week I followed a heavily overgrown trail through muskeg, brush, and downed timber for about 4 hours. The resultant abrasion of my eVENT jacket bottom/pants resulted in the DWR coating on my rain pants and the bottom of my rain parka being completely worn off during this four hour period. After that hike my pants and jacket bottom would wet out every time it rained. I managed the problem by wearing extra synthetic insulation to combat the DWR failure. Even if I had brought extra DWR I wouldn't have been able to effectively reapply it in the field.
You need to wash your waterproof/Breathable (WB) garments in non-detergent soap, add DWR, and heat set the DWR before you head to Alaska. If you are going to experience significant abrasion, the DWR won't last. As an option to heavy rubberized garments you also have the option of augmenting your WB rain outfit with a light urethane coated nylon outfit. The two rain outfits together will probably weigh less and take up less volume than the heavy rubberized stuff but it won't be as durable.Aug 17, 2006 at 5:13 am #1361261

Any fabric can fail. EVENT is better than goretex.Aug 17, 2006 at 9:07 am #1361269

Donald –
I was in the western Arctic in June with two other companions. I was there for 10 days/180 miles, they were there for 20+ days/600 miles of walking. We experienced the gamut of conditions from cold/wet to high winds to thick bushwhacking (willows and birch).
I wore a GoLite Virga jacket (6 oz). My partners both had Patagonia Specter Jackets (6.5 oz). For rain pants, we all took Montane Featherlite pants (3 oz). The jackets suffered only small tears that were easily repairable with duct tape. An ID eVENT jacket, which I also have, would have easily stood up to the abuse of willow and birch bushwhacking.
The challenge in using light gear is in being attentive to what you are doing to it, and it does require that you pay attention to your movements while you are bushwhacking, not forcing your way through brambles once your jacket is caught on a snag.Aug 17, 2006 at 10:41 am #1361273
I look forward to the Golite Virga coming soon. Been there, done that on the forcing my way through cactus when my clothes were snagged. Cactus is mighty unforgiving in that scenario.Aug 17, 2006 at 11:12 am #1361279

Please consider a gear review of DWR effectiveness for a future BPL issue. Specifically how fast does stuffing, dirt, brush abrasion, and constant rain degrade each brand of DWR on nylon fabrics with WPB membranes?
I suspect that most people won't experience significant DWR degradation for trips of up to a couple of weeks in mixed weather conditions. Between these trips the garments can be washed and heat-set to rejuvinate the DWR.
For longer trips in harsh conditions (constant rain, dirt, and abrasion) I suspect DWR failure is commonplace.Aug 21, 2006 at 12:24 pm #1361473
" For rain pants, we all took Montane Featherlite pants (3 oz)."
Ryan, at the first link you were going to use Mont-Bell Ultralight wind pants for rain pants and at the second link you said montane featherlite pants. What was your reasoning for the montane over the montbells?

text: I was watching yesterday the hearings about the cobalt ignition switch . I do not care much about this specific part.. I was just listening to learn how GM operates internally . My feeling is after an hour plus of the congressional questions to her she is incompetent to RUN GM. It appeared that the political reps knew more about this switch failure than she did . I find that unacceptable. She was aware of this issue 31 jan 2014. now it is 1 apr 2014, no excuse. The problem with all of these component failures and GM hiding these failures is not with just this part. sure some people died and this could have been avoided if GM did the fix 10 years ago . this it is stated would have cost 57 cents more to manufacture and that added cost is was not acceptable at the time GM made this decision. GM should not use the same part number on a change in the part , due to the part being defective and or not making the GM engineered spec.the part number should have a REV-A after the number with one change and if more changes are made B C D E etc.... GM should not use any part / manufactured component that does not meet the designed spec. GM should make available all TSB about an owners vehicle to the owner. this can be done by having a web site dedicated to owners where they type in their VIN number and all the TSB for their vehicle is displayed in its entirety. hopefully these hearings will change how these profit over safety corporations operate. the people that got killed due to an added 57 cent part cost did not die for nothing . what are your thoughts ?
