Those Spanish nights live in my heart
Once the Champions League quarter-finals had been played, it was always mathematically likely that we'd have two German-Spanish ties in the semis. Quite apart from the fact that these are attractive and interesting match-ups, they are also fitting, as the two countries have a long and colourful mutual history in the major European cup competitions.
I don't have access to a database where I could quickly look this up, but it seems to me that our clubs have played Spanish teams unusually often. Just consider the fact that Atlético have met no less than 13 different German clubs over the years! Bayern, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Jena, Leverkusen, Nurenberg, Schalke, Uerdingen and Wolfsburg.
The greatest German experts on Spain are Schalke, I suppose. Although they have yet to meet Real Madrid in a competitve game, they have played nine different Spanish sides: Atlético, Barcelona, Bilbao, Espanyol, Mallorca, Santander, Sevilla, Tenerife and Valencia.
The first time a German team reached the European Cup final, the opponents came from Spain and the resulting game - Real's 7-3 against Frankfurt at Hampden Park in 1960 - acquired almost mythical status. It was even voted the greatest game of all time by FourFourTwo magazine back in the 1990s.
The first time a German team won the European Cup, the opponents came from Spain again and the game produced one of the truly pivotal goals in our football history - and the most unlikely of heroes. With only seconds left on the clock and Bayern trailing Atlético 1-0 in the 1974 final, defender Georg Schwarzenbeck tried a desperate shot from almost 30 yards that somehow found its way through ten pairs of legs and crossed the line just inside the left-hand post.
This goal - one of only 30 which Schwarzenbeck scored in a career that spanned 589 professional games - forced a replay which Bayern won convincingly. So you could say that the man whose day job was covering Franz Beckenbauer's back when the Kaiser moved upfield ultimately laid the foundation stone for Bayern's dynasty.
Two years later, in 1976, there were even two German-Spanish clashes in the European Cup. In the quarter-finals, Real eliminated Gladbach on away goals and under very dubious circumstances. In the second leg at the Bernabéu, the Germans took the lead, but then the Dutch referee Leonardus van der Kroft (incidentally, the man who brandished the first-ever yellow card in the Eredivisie) began making strange decisions.
First he awarded Real a free-kick that led to the equaliser. It was such a dubious free-kick that it caught even the Spanish by surprise: Roberto Martinez, who had supposedly been fouled, had already carried the ball over to the flag and was ready to take a corner when he realised that van der Kroft had blown his whistle. Then, in the final 20 minutes, the referee disallowed two Gladbach goals that both looked legal - one for offside, even though the linesman hadn't waved his flag, the other for a foul or a handball, nobody was really sure, in the build-up.
It wasn't the last nightmarish encounter Gladbach would have with Real. Nine years later, in the UEFA Cup, the Germans were on the wrong end of one of the biggest comebacks in the history of European club competition. At home (more precisely: in Düsseldorf, where Gladbach often moved for big games because their own ground was fairly small), Borussia won 5-1 in great style. It was as commanding a lead as you can hope to take into a second leg against mighty Real. But it wasn't enough.
On a cold December night in Madrid, Jorge Valdano scored with two headers in the first half, both from a Juanito cross. Fifteen minutes from time, Santillana made it 3-0 with a fine volley. And in the final minute of the game, Valdano struck from 16 yards, Gladbach goalkeeper Ulrich Sude couldn't hold on to the ball and Santilla poked the rebound in from close range to send the Germans packing on away goals.
Despite this comeback, though, Real have often suffered at the hands of Bundesliga teams. When Gladbach won that first leg 5-1, it marked the third time Real had conceded five goals on German soil. The first to inflict such heavy damage on such a proud team were Hamburg. In the semi-final second leg of the 1980 European Cup, Manfred Kaltz and Horst Hrubesch both scored a brace and it was 4-1 at half-time.
However, Real had won the first leg 2-0 and so it remained a close affair until Caspar Memering produced the fifth goal in the last minute. By that time, Real were down to ten men, because a certain Vicente del Bosque had been sent off for taking a swing at a certain Kevin Keegan.
Only roughly two years later, in March 1982, Real again held a two-goal advantage after the first leg against a Bundesliga team and were again taken apart in Germany. And again nerves frayed. In Kaiserslautern's legendary 5-0 demolition of Real, no less than three visitors were sent off: Isidoro San José and Laurie Cunningham for rough play, Francisco Pineda for dissent. I guess it just wasn't Real's day, considering that the crucial opening goal through Friedhelm Funkel after seven minutes was a harmless shot which goalkeeper Agustin let slip first through his hands and then through his legs.
Then, of course, there's Bayern. German journalists love to tell the story that the Munich giants are known as La Bestia Negra, the black beast, in Spain because they have hurt Real so often. I'm not sure if this story is really true. For all I know, bestia negra simply means "bogey team" and is not at all reserved for Bayern.
Be that as it may, I guess it's safe to say that Real very much prefer playing Dortmund in this season's semis. After all, they have been knocked out of European Cup or Champions League semi-finals by Bayern in 2012, 2001, 1987 and 1976. The latter season, you will recall, was the campaign in which - according to the German view - Real only got past Gladbach because a Dutch referee robbed Borussia.
The press coverage back then was really intense and the public outrage immense. This led to the strange situation that the whole country rallied behind Bayern (this didn't come natural to many fans even back then) for the semis and asked the club to "revenge Gladbach". Add to this that Real fielded two Germans - Günter Netzer and Paul Breitner - and you can imagine how anticipated the games were.
It probably doesn't come as a surprise that the football itself was somewhat anticlimatic. Three Gerd Müller goals, one in Madrid and two in Munich, saw Bayern through. The most tumultuous moment came after the final whistle at the Bernabéu: a 26-year-old Spaniard ran onto the pitch, hit Gerd Müller with his fist and knocked down the Austrian referee Erich Linemayr, before Bayern goalkeeper Sepp Maier finally wrestled him to the ground. The miscreant later sent a letter of apology to Real's president Santiago Bernabéu.
The most bizarre incident involving a German team at that ground, however, was certainly the fallen goal in the 1998 semi-final against Dortmund. In the words of the BBC: "Spanish fans in an area where Real's notorious Ultra Surs traditionally gather shook a perimeter fence causing the posts attached to it to collapse." Unbelievably, it took the club officials 75 minutes to produce a replacement during which time the players and millions of television viewers could do nothing but wait.
By comparison, ties between German teams and Barcelona have been relatively scandal-free, with one exception we'll come to. Drama, though, was often in evidence. In 1961, Hamburg came within seconds of knocking a heavily favoured Barça side out of the European Cup. But in stoppage time of the second leg, club icon Uwe Seeler, of all people, gave the ball away and allowed Barcelona to score a goal that forced a one-game play-off.
Two-and-a-half-years later, the two clubs met again, this time in the Cup Winners' Cup, and again the tie went to three games. At the Camp Nou, 80,000 Catalans saw an amazing 4-4 draw. A scoreless draw in Hamburg followed and since the away-goals rule wasn't yet in existence, Hamburg and Barcelona met in Lausanne to decide the tie on neutral ground. With seven minutes left, Barcelona captain Ferran Olivella played a back pass that was too short, Seeler won the ball and scored Hamburg's 3-2 winner.
Come to think of it, the other spectacular games between Barcelona and German clubs also involve teams you wouldn't immediately expect. There is the 1979 Cup Winners' Cup final, for example, which Barcelona won 4-3 against a very brave Fortuna Düsseldorf team that is still revered by the club's fans. Then there's the 1992 European Cup. You may recall that it was won by Barcelona against Sampdoria. What you may not recall is that Barça almost didn't even reach the group stage that year.
In the second qualifying round, the Catalans were drawn against Kaiserslautern. They won the first leg at home 2-0, but then ran into serious problems in Germany. With 20 seconds left on the clock and Kaiserslautern leading 3-0, Ronald Koeman sent a free-kick towards the far post, where José Mari Bakero jumped higher than two defenders and scored with a looping header into the far corner.
Or how about Leverkusen? En route to their 1988 UEFA Cup win, Bayer managed the rare feat of defeating both Barcelona teams - Barça in the quarter-finals thanks to a Tita goal at the Camp Nou, and Espanyol in the final, on penalties.
For my money, though, the most spectacular win against Barcelona was racked up by Cologne. In the 1980-81 UEFA Cup, the two clubs met in the second round and Cologne lost the first leg at home, 1-0. Things looked hopeless for the Germans, but two weeks later Barcelona suffered their heaviest home defeat in UEFA club competitions. Gerd Strack and Stephan Engels scored shortly before and after the break, Pierre Littbarski added a third and Dieter Müller made it 4-0 on 70 minutes.
Sitting in the stands was Bernd Schuster, who'd just left Cologne for Barcelona and must have wondered what he'd gotten himself into. Because the fans didn't take kindly to the debacle. First they threw coins at Cologne's subs bench, then bottles, finally seats they had ripped out.
Still, what may well be the most famous German-Spanish match of all featured neither Real nor Barcelona, neither Bayern nor Gladbach or Dortmund. Because what fans of a certain age remember best is a magic November night on which unglamorous Karlsruhe celebrated a sensational 7-0 win against Valencia in the 1993-94 UEFA Cup.
Karlsruhe had a few players you may know, a young Oliver Kahn was in goal and Slaven Bilić in defence, but Valencia had just climbed into first place in the Primera División and were strongly favoured. Even more incredible, the first half hour belonged to the visitors, who had won the first leg 3-1 and came close to taking the lead on numerous occasions.
Well, and then... it just happened. The star of the match was striker Edgar Schmitt, who scored four of the seven goals. In the week before the game, he had been involved in a serious car crash - but on the night it was the Spanish who felt as if something heavy had hit them.
Have I forgotten a memorable tie? I bet I have. Jolt my memory.

Gun Laws Are Easy to Skirt
The massacre on Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. has pushed gun control onto the national stage – again. The shootings point up how easy it already is to skirt the existing laws that cover age restrictions, waiting periods, mental health checks, and gun show purchases.
President Barack Obama has called for swift federal action to end the wave of gun violence that seems to be breaking over the country, including:
- The massacre on July 20 in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
- A rampage shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Aug. 5
- Another on Dec. 11 in a mall outside Portland, Ore.
Age Restrictions
A federal law that limits handgun purchases to people 21 and older is currently being appealed. But that law doesn't prohibit kids from being given or owning guns. It's pretty simple: children get guns from their parents, who often own them legally. That's exactly what happened with Adam Lanza, who was 20.
Some state laws require guns to be locked up, and there's always the possibility of civil liability if your child or a guest gets hold of one and hurts or kills someone.
Waiting Periods
In some states gun purchasers are required to wait a period of time between purchasing and actually possessing the gun. The waiting times vary from three days for a handgun in Florida to two weeks in Connecticut.
But there is no federal law on this subject, and it's easy enough to get around by going to a gun show.
Gun Shows
Gun shows allow private dealers to meet with the public and sell all kinds of weapons. They are loosely regulated by states, if they are regulated at all. Most notably, private dealers are not required to run federal background checks.
"Because unlicensed, private sellers are exempt from the federal background check requirement, this creates a loophole that enables certain categories of persons prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms – such as felons, domestic violence perpetrators and mentally ill individuals – to obtain them," according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
"Likewise, private sellers at gun shows (and elsewhere) are not required to maintain records of sales."
Mental Health Checks
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is a federal system that requires federal firearms licensees (FFLs) – licensed gun dealers – to instantly check the records of a gun purchaser at the point of sale.
NICS was established in 1998 by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, passed in honor of James Brady who was shot during an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
The NICS accesses a database of records of people with convictions for domestic violence, drug abuse, and stalking. But as far as mental health issues, only people who have been found by a court to be mentally defective or were committed to a mental institution are covered by NICS. (Lanza would not have been covered by this system, nor would any of the other perpetrators of the recent spate of mass shootings.)
Furthermore, states are not submitting the information they should in order for the program to keep guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous people.

One of the Pike River Mine directors has indicated there is a possibility he will contribute to the $3.41 million reparation cost the company was ordered to pay to families of the men who died in the mine three years ago.
But, despite a judge suggesting shareholders also contribute to the cost, the company's largest secured shareholder says chances of it funding the compensation was unlikely.
Pike River was on Friday sentenced in the Greymouth District Court for health and safety failings that led to the deaths of 29 miners in November 2010.
Judge Jane Farish ordered Pike River Coal to pay a total of $3.41 million in reparation - $110,000 for the family of each victim and survivors Russell Smith and Daniel Rockhouse.
She also fined the company a total of $760,000 over nine charges.
Pike River Coal is in receivership and indicated during sentencing that it had only enough money to pay $5000 to each family.
The directors at the time of the tragedy were John Dow, Stuart Nattrass, Raymond Meyer, Roy Radford, Arun Jagatramka, Dipak Agarwalla, Surendra Sinha and Sanjay Loyalka. None were charged over the tragedy.
Judge Farish blasted the directors and the company's shareholders for not volunteering to pay any of the compensation - noting the directors had "significant insurance".
Mr Nattrass said it was the company that had been found at fault.
He said it was "possible" some of the directors would contribute to the compensation for the families.
Mr Nattrass said he hadn't given the idea "any real thought", but it was possible he would put his mind to it.
"It's been hard on everybody that's been involved in this business, not just those who have lost family," he said.
Mr Dow said he had thought about what the judge had to say.
"But I'm not going to comment on that at the moment - I haven't seen the specifics of what she said, I've only seen what's been reported.
"I don't understand what the justification for her making those comments was."
Mr Agarwalla is currently in India and he said he could not comment on the judge's comments until he had seen the court ruling.
He would not say if he would consider contributing to the compensation.
The other directors could be contacted.
NZ Oil and Gas chief executive Andrew Knight said he was baffled his company had been targeted by Judge Farish to put up money for the families.
"I need to go through the process of reading the judgement and try to understand the judge's logic as to why she believed it was appropriate for a minority shareholder of a publicly listed company to be fronting up."
The company was the largest secured shareholder, but it only owned 24.9 per cent of the shares, he said.
Mr Knight said Judge Farish appeared to be unaware that immediately after the explosion, NZ Oil and Gas gave Pike River $25 million to keep aspects of the company running and to pay staff wages.
"All the employees were paid salaries they were owed, all the employees were paid additional payments."
Money also went to the tunnel recovery process, creditors and the Families' Trust fund, Mr Knight said.
There would be a "mixed response" from shareholders about whether to put forward money, he said.
"I understand why the judge is frustrated, because she wants reparations paid and the company was bankrupt."
He said a final decision had not been made on whether to contribute to the reparations, but it was "unlikely" the company would put in more money.

The houses are so well preserved and in good repair .
There is a neolithic stone circle very near to my house that dates back three thousand years or so .
I live in the ancient celtic kingdom of " Elmete " which is a part of the Brigantes tribe`s land . Even though thousands of years have passed by I still regard myself as Celtic first , and Anglo-saxon second .
Your land is filled with such ancient wonders and your country`s marvellous history can still be found and visited by anyone .
Drakospita in Evia
Loading Map
On our way to Marmari we make a stop when I notice a sign leading to a renowned Dragon House (Drakospito). There are one or two more in the round area and happily I notice that it is well preserved.
I remember 10 years back probably more, a group of friends arranged a short trip not very far from here, where there are a number of these very peculiar stone buildings. We had been walking for more than an hour a steep hill to reach that place. We found several of these but this one here is just as good and this makes me very happy because I can take several photos.
Of course they have nothing to do with dragon houses as the word says, and I truly cannot understand why they carry this name.
I just know that the people who used to live in these houses used to be loggers working in quarries digging out the Karystian stone.
There is an Acropolis on the highest peak of Mount Ochi which is in this area and as poets write in books, the love of the god Zeus and Hera still hangs in the air!!
Three similar are located near Styra (a nearby coastal town). They are easily accessible and are alongside the road that goes from Marmari to Styra. There is also another one on the mainland on the west slopes of Hymettos, which is the simplest and crudest of them all.
The houses are really peculiar and they were explained by myths of the modern Greeks as "dragon houses" thinking that they belonged and had been constructed by some kind of giants or other supernatural creatures with enormous strength that was required to move the large and heavy stones for their construction. At first it was believed that they were dated back to the Neolithic period (7000 B.C) but recent study indicated that they may date to the Late Hellenistic or Greco-Roman period, about 146 B.C.
A paper published by Jean Carpenter and Dan Boyd (1977) American Journal of Archaeology) suggest that these houses were constructed by the Karians as place of worship.

The houses are so well preserved and in good repair .
I truly want to see those signs and circles in the U.K. I have read and seen photos (if we are talking about the same things) that they can be seen from a plane?
Yes Greece is reall a very interesting country to visi despite the economic crisis.....there are hidden gems and much culture out here no matter what!!!!
I do hope that your country finds itself on the road to financial recovery in the very near future . It would be a terrible fate to see your ancient land sold off to the hightest bidder like some failed business . I was all for European intergration of people and lands in the beginnings of the EEC: now I begin to have doubts about whether it is good for anyone but the multinational corporations . I am so glad our country desided to keep the pound sterling as our currency . All the best to you , Popi .
it is so good to see such history Popi and i am envious of your country in fact the whole of Europe for the history that expounds, where as my country we have very few original artefacts that can be tied into the people as the Aboriginals never built houses as such, we have cave art and mindens but no structural information.

Date of Stay: September, 2010
We had our family reunion at Twin Springs over Labor Day Weekend. We had 15 rigs that ranged from motorhomes, tent campers, travel trailers and tents. We were given a wonderful spot up in a tree lined area that worked out very well for our large group. We even had our own private drive to come and go as we needed and thus we did not need to bother anyone else or drive by others peoples sites. Everyone in our group were very pleased with the clean facilities and refreshing pool. The owners were very accommodating for we were such a large group and need to be setting up a different times due to families coming at different times. We were grateful for the personalized attention in having the owner show us were to park. My family stayed here earlier this year and so that is why we decided to have our reunion here this fall and I am very glad we did. We always have lots to do with the family golf, renting boats to fish, the kids having the game room or being able to run into Menomonie to get forgotten items. We will recommend Twin Springs Camping Resort to all of our friends and families in the future and plan on coming back again.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
Very hard to get reservation. Restrooms were very dirty and no toilet paper especially in morning. Pool was nice. Neat barn structure.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
Campground was family friendly for it had activities for kids. There was a lot of noise from the road where we were parked. The lake was getting green so swimming was not an option. The staff were helpful.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
We were very disappointed with our stay at this campground. It was noisy and the facilities were dirty and out of paper. The sites are dirt and are very close together. The river is not close to trailer sites and is down a steep bank. We will not stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
This was a nice campground. Some sites were a little far from the restrooms and showers. Was a little difficult to find our site due to the multiple roads.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend and had a wonderful time! The owners were very accommodating and friendly. The campground is very scenic near the river and has very clean facilities. The pool was very clean and refreshing. They even had a Chucker golf course that they provided the equipment for and all family members can play, we had a blast! The state bike trail is not very far away nor is Menomonie so everything is very conveniently located. The campground is very family friendly and quiet at night of which you do not find in very many places. We will definitely come back to stay and have even made reservations for three more weekends this summer.

At 5pm PST, Fox Business Network has a great alternative to the bloviating gasbag Bill O'Reilly. The name of the program is "Money Rocks" and it's host is Eric Bolling. I've found myself watching this show more and more lately, as O'Reilly's constant jiberish about his books, Lady Gaga, and "are these Carl's Jr. commercials too sexy" have gotten old and stale. But last night on the show, it just evolved into another Bob Beckel infested "Great American Panel." Not only did that portly Beckel threaten Pamela Geller on the air:
You're a Woman, You Better Be Careful
There was plenty of fireworks off the air too according to Geller's website. The whole topic of discussion revolved around the Ground Zero Mosque. Among the fireworks off the air was Beckel's anti-semitism on display towards Jews, and telling Geller to "kiss his ass"
When we cut to break, Beckel chided Bolling for not bringing "Jewish slumlords" on the show (referring to Bolling's segment on Imam Rauf's status as a New Jersey slumlord, so named in a lawsuit against Rauf by Union City). When I heard Beckel's Jew-hating belch, I said, "and you're an anti-semite." He told me to "kiss his ass," to which I responded that he would never get anyone anywhere in the world to get with that.
So where exactly are the so called "feminists"? Oh wait, I remember. The pig Beckel is a progressive liberal Democrat, so he has free reign to attack a conservative woman. F*cking hypocrites. Some type of boycott of Fox News' sponsors needs to be organized as long as they continue to let this womanizing, anti-semetic pig stay on the air. Every Monday it seems piggy Beckel appears on "Money Rocks" and Hannity. Fox News already has plenty of obnoxious progressive liberals employed, they don't need one the Walter Mondale failure of Bob Beckel too. Since Beckel is basically a clone of Ed Schultz, let him go to MSNBC where he belongs.

This wall light has a semi-circle shape and tasteful decoration.More Details >
A semi-circle opal acrylic diffuser sits beneath the decorative matte silver slatted housing in this fantastic wall light. The contemporary look is perfect for indoor spaces or for garages.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Great wall fixture for my front porch. Added style and illumination and looks good against my grey house.
A well built fixture at a very good price. The aluminum casting is solid and nicely finished. The "opal acrylic" (white plastic) diffuser is held in by the aluminum casting and fastened with a single allen screw, making vandalism a bit more difficult. Overall, this is an attractive, well-built product that should last a long time. I am putting LED bulbs in, and I may wire in a dusk-to-dawn sensor.
Glad I found this lamp. LOVE the contemporary styling which complements my contemporary home. Lamps at the 'BIG BOX' stores are mostly old-fashioned in styling. Plan to purchase more contemporary lamps from LAMPS PLUS for other areas around the exterior of my home when budget permits! Delivery was quick. Lamp LOOKS GREAT near my FRONT DOOR. I'm sure the neighbors are jealous!! THANKS LAMPS PLUS!!!
The light looks great on my front porch and gives enough light to illuminate the house number and the lock on the front door.

Heavy-polluting power generators have three weeks to indicate whether they will seek to negotiate their closure with the federal government amid doubts a deal will be possible.
On Friday, Resources Minister
The government's aim is to close about 2000 megawatts of generation capacity between 2016 and 2020. But only generators with emissions intensity greater than 1.2 tonnes of carbon per megawatt hour are eligible, limiting the tender to Yallourn, Hazelwood and Energy Brix in Victoria and Playford in South Australia.
While the tender seeks permanent closure, generators may be able to convert to lower-emissions technology.
The government is also keeping secret what it is prepared to pay as that could influence valuations.
It has been reported that International Power has put the value of Hazelwood at $3 billion, Playford's owner Alinta has indicated it is seeking $250 million and Yallourn's book value is $1.7 billion. Mr Combet has already flagged a tough position indicating the government doesn't agree with the Hazelwood valuation.
The National Generators Forum has also questioned whether it was possible for the government to get value for money.
"The NGF questions how competitive any tender process can be, given the handful of potential bidders and the limited capacity they have to offer," it said in its submission on draft carbon price legislation.
"A more cost-effective and competitive approach would be to remove the limit on the emissions intensity of contracted plant."
And Mining and Energy Union president
"I'm still backing greed," Mr Maher said. "Greed killed it last time and it may kill it this time."

Woman Accused of Arson, May Be Connected to American River Fires
SACRAMENTO -- A woman has been arrested for allegedly setting a fire behind the Sacramento Ford on North 16th Street today.
A witness told investigators that he saw a woman start the fire this afternoon and pointed them in the right direction.
Witnesses gave investigators a name, a description and said the woman had a ligher in her hand, Sac City Fire Assistant Chief Niko King said. Officers found the individual who matched the description a few blocks away, and she still had a lighter in her hand.
King says information given to them by KFBK let them know they were searching for a female suspect that was seen near the fires along the American River.
Sacramento Police have arrested the woman in connection with today's fire, Sacramento Police Spokesman Officer Doug Morse said. Arson investigators are also questioning her about other fires, including the 100 acre blaze that burned last Thursday along Highway 16.

I am a avid fan of Oribe Shampoo for Beautiful Color in the big size, so it's no wonder I can't leave home without it. I travel a fair amount so I always purchase the travel size shampoo and conditioner. The only reason I won't give this 5 stars is 1) the packaging won't allow me to refill the travel size bottle with my large one 2) it doesn't last me as long as i would like it to on longer trips.4

French Uninterested in Private Lives Except When They Are
For all the French public's assertions that President Francois Hollande has the right to a private life, it hasn't given up its prurient curiosity.
According to an Ifop poll, 77 percent say that President Francois Hollande's reported affair with an actress is a personal matter. Still, the story has dominated media coverage since it broke Jan. 10. It was the opening question yesterday at Hollande's semi-annual press conference.
"The French are schizophrenic on the subject of the privacy of politicians," said Arthur Goldhammer, co-chairman of the French Study Group at Harvard University's Center for European Studies. "The French, who profess to have no interest in the private lives of politicians, can talk about nothing else whenever a scandal hits the press -- like people everywhere."
If Hollande thought he could keep his personal life personal, he'd have forgotten the lessons of the past decade. Social media, the growth of aggressive news websites, his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to make his private life public, disclosures over former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn's lifestyle, and the evolving status of France's "first ladies" have all changed the landscape since President Francois Mitterrand was able to keep his second family and a teenage daughter secret.
Hollande, 59, said yesterday it was not the place to discuss his private life. He'd been asked about a photo spread in Closer magazine, purportedly showing him wearing a helmet as he arrived on a scooter at an apartment around the corner from his office for a liaison with actress Julie Gayet. Gayet, 41, has yet to comment on the matter.
Washington Trip
He said he would address the issue of whether his companion, the journalist Valerie Trierweiler, was still France's first lady before a Feb. 11 visit to Washington. Trierweiler was hospitalized Jan. 10, the day Closer published its pictures. Hollande would only say that she was "resting."
While France doesn't have an official status for "First Lady," Trierweiler, 48, has an office and staff at the presidential Elysee palace. She was due to accompany Hollande to Washington.
That breaks with the wives of previous presidents who took a low profile, or like Danielle Mitterrand who carried on with her activist causes but away from the Elysee palace.
Before the press conference was hijacked, it had been billed as the Socialist president announcement of his shift toward cutting taxes and regulations to encourage hiring. While most questions in the 2 1/2-hour conference did focus on economic matters, inquiries about his private life kept coming up. He avoided some and addressed others; regarding the ride on a scooter, he said his security was always assured.
Conference Crowd
The press conference was attended by 587 reporters, of whom 207 represented foreign publication. His previous press conference May 16 attracted 410, including 160 from outside France.
"To judge by how quickly the magazine that broke the story flew off the shelves, the level of public interest is high," said Jim Shields, head of the French studies at Aston University in Birmingham, England. "That makes the unanimous defense of privacy that we're hearing sound rather hollow."
A cartoon in today's satirical weekly Canard Enchaine captured the media's attitude. A female newspaper editor says to a photographer that "we are all for the respect of private life, but now that it's public, we need a photo of Trierweiler leaving the clinic."
Image 'Disaster'
The reaction of opposition politicians reflected the schizophrenia. Jean-Francois Cope, head of Sarkozy's Union for a Popular Movement, said Jan. 12 on France 5 television that the affair was "a disaster for the image of France and for the image of the presidency." Marine Le Pen, head of the anti-European Union National Front, refused to comment, saying Jan. 13 on RTL Radio that she respects privacy "there are no exceptions to principles even for people you don't like."
The number of posts on Twitter mentioning Hollande this week were running at about 50,000 a day, with a spike yesterday of 125,000, up from 10,000 a day before the Closer story. Trierweiler, who barely had any tweets mentioning her before, has had 20,000 on some days.
A search for "Hollande Gayet" on Google's French language pages produces 70 million results. Closer expects sales of 600,000, about double the weekly magazine's average of 330,000.
By contrast, the existence of Mitterrand's second family wasn't revealed until his 1996 funeral. Former President Jacques Chirac's nocturnal adventures, although widely known, were rarely ever reported.
Private Lives
Even the Ifop poll that showed three quarters regard Hollande's private life as private shows an erosion of tolerance. In October 2007, 89 percent said the same thing about Sarkozy's admission that his second marriage was in trouble.
Sarkozy kept the public informed of his breakup with Cecilia and his subsequent courtship and marriage to singer-model Carla Bruni through interviews, press conferences, and authorized photo-shoots.
"Hollande was wise not to get into details, because he avoided Sarkozy's disastrous lines about Carla," said Laurent Dubois, a professor at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris.
Hollande has never married, even though he has four children with Segolene Royal, the Socialist Party's losing candidate in the 2007 elections.
"Sarkozy saw himself as part of the celebrity culture, where people live their sex lives as they please," Harvard's Goldhammer said. "Hollande is rather a product of the 1960's counterculture: he and Segolene had children without marrying, signaling indifference to the 'bourgeois' institution of marriage."
Less Judgmental
While the French may be fascinated with the personal lives of their leaders, they are less judgmental than in English speaking countries, said Gilles Savary, a member of parliament from Bordeaux.
"They are curious, but not scandalized," Savary said. "In France, unlike America, money scandals are more serious than sex scandals."
When French budget minister Jerome Cahuzac admitted last April he had a Swiss bank account, he was thrown out of government and parliament, and Hollande forced all his ministers to declare their assets.
"When Francois Mitterrand was president the entire media establishment knew everything about his sexual escapades and conquests, but they chose to say nothing about it," said Matthew Fraser, a lecturer on media at Paris-based Sciences-Po university. "Those days are over."

Date of Stay: September, 2011
Nice park-nothing fancy. All gravel, flat parking. Good location to explore city or collage. Easily handles large rigs. Friendly work camper staff. Many long-term rentals, but sites look OK and don't detract. Camping fee is high and doesn't include free WiFi. I get better rates by phoning than by internet.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
Very nice RV park. Came here as part of a rally. Well maintained although taller RVs will need to be cautious of overhanging tree branches at some sites. If you like quiet at night, ask to be away from their on site saloon/cafe. Midnight karaoke is annoying. The park has plenty big rig sites.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Location is good and staff are helpful. Camping is basically on a gravel parking lot. Park was mostly full of pipeline workers, so make reservations: they had a waiting list. July and August prices are high: $48 for over 35 ft RV. Website reservations are available, but a phone call will get you a better price if you have any AARP, Good Sam, etc., cards. Clean laundry, no pool. Big rigs, ask for row D.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Things haven't changed - thousands of flies, terrible smell from feed lot or farm, especially at night. Unlevel sites. Friendly staff. Would not come back. There are two more KOAs in the Fort Collins area.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This is our 5th time back to this campground (including an RV rally). Park is clean and green so don't park on the grass! Within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, etc. Friendly staff. Better price than the other two large RV parks. Most sites are pull-throughs, but larger rigs will have to unhook. Located on the better edge of town (IMO) away from the sulphur smells on the west end. Also, a good deal/price for tenters who only want a nice patch of grass to pitch their tent for the night.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is a no frills campground with the best price around. During the week that we stayed there, it filled almost every night. It is close to the interstate, so it's perfect for an overnight or those out sightseeing most days. You can walk to nearby restaurants. The highway and nearby truck stop noise was not bad at all - and we sleep with the windows open.

Immigration pushes Meg Whitman rightward - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com
The logic is clear: the new hard-line Arizona law, widely popular among the sort of Republicans that dominate this state's GOP primaries, and Poizner's unrelenting focus on the broader issue, forced Whitman to engage on a topic she was hoping to avoid.
But so are the risks. Some operatives and analysts regard her strategy as the political equivalent of biting into forbidden fruit — tantalizing at the moment but potentially fatal in a general-election matchup with Jerry Brown.
Whitman does little to hide her frustration with Poizner—regarded as merely a nuisance until polls recently tightened—for drawing so much attention to the polarizing issue. His campaign is now focused entirely on painting her as weak on immigration, except for an audacious Spanish-language ad in which he notes her support from Wilson.

This is the icing recipe I use in my bakery for cupcakes and for filling Macarons
1pkg powdered whipped topping mix
½ c. cold milk (International Delight French Vanilla coffee creamer works the best)
2 to 2 and 1/2 cups shortening (hi ratio) add the 1/2 cup more if you like it creamier
vanilla, almond or any other flavorings (I add to taste, not sure of exact amounts)
¼ c. light corn syrup
2lbs bag of powdered sugar
Dissolve powdered whipped topping mix with milk in small bowl – it will get thick, and not completely dissolve. Cream shortening and flavorings for about 5-7 minutes on medium speed, until it is fluffy and combined. Add alternately sugar and whipped topping/milk mix on low until combined. Add more milk if necessary. Add corn syrup and beat on high for 10 minutes until light and fluffy.
This does crust slightly. It makes about 4-6 cups of frosting. This must be refrigerated. I'm not sure how it would stand up in hot, humid climates, as where I am from is quite dry. Can be used for icing cakes, HOWEVER, because it is whipped on high speed at the end, it tends to get air bubbles, so you may have to work to get it smooth on a cake. I have had success doing this if you crumb coat your cake and set it in the freezer for a few minutes, then re-coat cake, set in freezer again, then smooth with viva paper towel.

Still Very Protestant
The Great Tradition—A Great Labor
Studies in Ancient-Future Faith
Edited by Philip E. Harrold and D.H. Williams. Wipf & Stock. Pp. 124. $15
Review by Ben Jefferies
The tantalizing prompt question for the Ancient Wisdom, Anglican Futures conference in 2009 from which this collection of essays arises — "What does it mean to inhabit the 'Great Tradition' authentically?" — goes largely unanswered. Half of the essays do not reveal a thorough appraisal of the status quæstionis, or they are too tangential to it. This largely stems from the misequation of "the Great Tradition" with the bounds of Anglicanism in se.
With one or two notable exceptions (Edith Humphrey, George Sumner), the tack of the collection is to highlight how the esprit of a particular Protestant denomination can enrich "the Great Tradition" of Anglican practice. A greater awareness of how Anglicanism might more participate in the Great Tradition from which it derives, rather than emphasizing what novelties the wider Church may be missing out on, would have been more satisfying.
A rapid play-by-play, before some concluding thoughts:
To anyone who still buys into the Ehrman-Pagels historiographical demolition job, D.H. Williams offers good damage repair, even if his conclusions are as prosaic as they are truthful: that there is a discernible unity in historical theology, albeit messy around the edges.
Tony Clark takes Phyllis Tickle to task, but then loses himself in theories of language and knowledge (observing from outside versus "indwelling") that do little to answer the conference question.
Humphrey — who is now Eastern Orthodox — warmly exhorts the reader to sober up before coming face-to-face with the Almighty, and so to pay attention to the given sequence of the liturgy. Simon Chan argues that Pentecostals uniquely practice taking the Holy Spirit's work seriously, thus embodying the epiclectic talk of the Eastern Liturgies, both of which should be more thoroughly incorporated into Anglican worship.
D. Stephen Long reminds us of the essentially communal character of Christian living, with John Wesley as a paragon. Sumner's piece — the highlight of the collection — brings episcopacy to the fore.
His thesis is the most solidly grounded answer to the conference question, being located within the Great Tradition. He also proposes an intriguing "soft" apostolate (with norming anecdotes from history: Whitby, South India) for the sake of preserving unity.
Lastly, the surprise of the collection is Dominic Erdozain. He presents with erudite panache what appears to be a history of how the evangelical church in England (c.1750-1930) has engaged with "culture," but one has the sense that he is actually spinning a brilliant parable of warning, as informative as it is pleasing.
The dominant voice of the essays is characteristically evangelical. While the evangelical element of Anglican experience can most certainly enrich our Catholic heritage, the narrow view that accompanies it when confronting questions of catholicity is glaring; the theses of the essays slam up against the horizon of their authors. To a Catholic, the high value the essays place on dogma and doctrinal confession, as if these stood on their own outside of Church life, is peculiar and confusing. Similarly, excepting Sumner, there is a palpable absence of any mention of submissive obedience to the Church as it has historically been constituted, which I would contend is the quintessence of authenticity in an increasingly de-traditioned world — and a greater labor than these essays propose.

The Berlin Wall was torn down in 1991 as people in Europe decided it was time to end decades of rule by the Soviet Union. In the aftermath of this act, hope arose, not only in Russia, but throughout Europe that a new day was dawning in which totalitarian ideas would cease for the people of Russia. Ah, that was then, and today is now for a land controlled by a former agent of the KGB who goes by the name of Vladimir Putin. The European Union send a clear message to Putin Land that a July law which declares that NGOs which receive any funding from outside sources must register as "foreign agents."
In other words, if an NGO whose goal is to reduce violence against gays received a single ruble from a non-European source it must now admit it works as an agent for foreigners. The law is simply another ploy by Putin to crack down on those who do not accept his rule. The dream of 1991 has come to an end in Russia. A dictator by any name is still a dictator.

The cottage is historic--originally a traditional Pennsylvania field-stone schoolhouse dating from the late Federal Period. It is the first of the seven one-room schoolhouses built in Rockland Township. From the 19th century until the 1950s, it was a fully-functioning country school. The schoolhouse was converted to a residence in the 1960s, but retains much of its original architecture and appointments, as well as a majestic catalpa tree planted to provide shade for the school children.
Friendly art historian/designer. Born and raised in Asia, I love international design and traditional folk arts, which is why my spaces are eclectic, decorated in European, Pan-Asian, and Moroccan styles. One of the main reasons I like sharing my spaces is because, in this way, I am also sharing experiences and beauty I have encountered while traveling.
Elizabeth Gittings purchased this house in 1983
Peaceful... with spectacular landscape views and surroundings. More than anything else, the beauty and serenity of the cottage and its natural setting refresh the senses and mind.
Relaxation, wellness, refreshing!
We had a wonderful time, enjoyed every minute of our stay! I highly recommend staying at this cottage. It was beautiful, clean, quaintly decorated conveniently located for lots of sightseeing. While we were there we visited Gettysburg, Philadelphia, Hershey, and NYC. We also took time to site see around town visiting the places mapped out for us by the owners of the cottage. Fleetwood and the surrounding area is beautiful and the people are so friendly and welcoming. We also appreciated the bottle of wine and homemade cookies and strawberries that were left for us when we arrived. I am ready to book another stay!
The cottage was completely as advertised. It is a wonderfully secluded get away. Quaint and the music system was great. Perfect for peace and quiet.
This was our 2nd time staying and all I can say is that it was just as great as our first stay. Elizabeth is so easy to deal with. She suggested a massage and that the person would come to the cottage! I booked it. The massage was done upstairs and I thought it was very good.
When we go, we do nothing but read, hang outside with our Boston's and watch movies. No worries about anything else!
It is such a special cottage and I can't wait to go back!
Elizabeth, thank you very much for your hospitality!
This is such a quaint and charming place. We could tell that great care was taken by the owner and the caretaker that great attention to details to make our stay more enjoyable and restful were made. The kitchen was stocked with breakfast foods and basic necessities for cooking. Wine and flowers greeted us when we arrived. Truly enjoyed the stay here, and had hoped to have been snowed in for a couple of extra days! But the PennDoT crews are too good!!
Six months before our October 2013 trip, I perused the offerings on HomeAway and the extraordinary beauty of the Bick Road cottage and its location in the Lehigh Valley caught my eye. After I exchanged a few emails with one of the BnB's owners, Elizabeth, I knew I had found the right place. In the six months between May (when I booked the cottage) and October (when our trip occurred) Elizabeth and I exchanged at least 8 emails. She was always responsive, accommodating and over-the-top helpful. Better yet, in advance of our visit, she sent a PDF version of her extensive Visitor's Guide for the Lehigh Valley area. That guide was an incredible resource to us as we planned our trip. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a cozy, warm cottage with the lights on. On the kitchen table sat a basket of freshly made muffins and fruit, and we were also delighted to find a bottle of local wine. There were ample breakfast makings for our family, including eggs, sausage, bagels, and other goodies. We felt completely cared for. Elizabeth provides guests with all the comforts of home and a well-written guide to both the area and the operation of various home components (heaters, media, WiFi, etc.). We really could not have had a better visit. Be sure to visit Hawk Mountain and the Amish country when you are in the area. The Echo Market was a real find. We did not eat out much since Elizabeth's amply stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. All in all, a simply wonderful stay. If we are ever in the area again to visit our daughter, we will be sure to stay at the Bick Road cottage.
My husband and I booked the cottage for our quick mini-moon following our wedding in Pottstown. The hospitality was spectacular. Lots of warm, inviting touches including fresh flowers, a congratulatory card, local chocolate, champagne, and farm fresh breakfast.
The grounds are beautiful and relaxing and the cottage is a short drive away from some nice, local sites which are highlighted in the guest book. Thanks for a great time, Elizabeth. We'd love to come back.

We woke on Wednesday morning to the news that Eleanor Catton's The Luminaries had won this year's Man Booker Prize.
Nearly 30 years ago, Keri Hulme won the prize with The Bone People.
Both books are set on the West Coast of the South Island. Coincidence or fate? What is it about the West Coast that makes it such an iconic setting for amazing literature?
Fergus Barrowman of Victoria University Press said: "The West Coast has a distinctive 19th century history and a community network that works for storytelling, and adding the exposure to the elements you get on the Coast, it makes a perfect setting for fiction."
Booksellers web editor Sarah Forster spent her childhood and teenage years between our West Coast and Western Australia - she really is a coal miner's daughter. "People tend to think of the West Coast as a special unspoiled place, that may be why people are drawn to write about it."
Book blogger Graham Beattie speculated, "I guess it is to do with the landscape, the wildness of West Coast weather, the history of mining, the isolation and the fact that until the Haast Pass opened in the 1960s there was no road access in the south."
Arthur's Pass road opened in 1916 and can still be closed by weather, as can the Lewis Pass road, constructed during the 1930s Depression.
One of our top-selling novels of recent years is Jenny Pattrick's The Denniston Rose, an appealing adventure story with a gutsy young heroine and an only-on-the-West Coast setting: a small mining town at the top of a steep incline reached only by coal trucks.
Published in 2003, Pattrick's book is one of New Zealand's most popular bestsellers, with more than 60,000 copies sold to date. It has a sequel, Heart of Coal. The effect of the book was such that tourists started to go to the mine area to see the historic places mentioned in the series, and a trail guide has attracted many to follow the Denniston Trail.
Harriet Allan, Random House NZ's publisher for the books, says the titles, now rejacketed, are still selling. "Both books are set in a specific part of the country at a time when we had a different lifestyle which has now completely disappeared. It is a picture of a fantastic working community by an author who is a fantastic writer about community, and how the machinery of the past operated.
"We've now got that depth of history in our own stories, and the Denniston Trail brings in tourist dollars. It is amazing that fiction can do these things."
Bill Pearson's Coal Flat, focusing on characters and events in a small West Coast coal mining town, was published in 1963 and is Pearson's only novel, though he was a well-known literary commentator and essayist at the time. With the recent publication of Paul Millar's biography of Pearson, No Fretful Sleepers, renewed attention has been drawn to the book, believed to be set in the mining community of Blackball.
Keri Hulme's novel The Bone People is unmistakably set on the remote beaches of the Coast, with the changeable weather of South Westland. First published by women's collective Spiral and later picked up by local and international publishing houses, The Bone People was something of a cause celebre when it won the Booker Prize in 1985. (One of the judging panel was said to have disagreed emphatically with the decision.)
A more recently published novel set on the West Coast is Charlotte Randall's Hokitika Town (Penguin, 2012), set in the Gold Rush of 1865. It is endearingly told through the eyes and language of young Maori orphan Halfie who has ended up in Hokitika scrambling for survival by washing dishes and doing errands. In her review of the book for the New Zealand Herald, Paula Green said: "He is the epitome of goodness and views the adult world of drunkenness, double-crossing and lust through his innocent childhood filters."
Earlier this year, The Luminaries' publisher, VUP, launched a book of stories by Amy Head set on the West Coast and appropriately titled Tough. It will be the perfect answer to customers wanting more West Coast literature. The NZ Book Council said: "The book dexterously shifts between present and historical experience, and dramatically focuses the West Coast landscape. The book also ushers into its borders those living on the margins of society."

"Being our first four-time All-American is great honor for Kelsey and speaks to the high level of play she has maintained throughout her career," UNC coach Karen Shelton said. "She was outstanding as a freshman, but instead of being content with that she continued work hard and improve each year. She's had a wonderful career in a UNC uniform."
Kolojejchick finishes her Carolina career ranked third in career points, third in career assists and fourth in career goals in UNC history. As a senior, she led the nation in assists with 23.
Van Sickle is the fifth player in school history to earn first-team honors on three occasions. "Caitlin has been an anchor on a defense that has been stellar throughout her career," Shelton said. "She has done a great job this season as our captain, and has been a leader on and off the field throughout her career."
Kolojejchick and Van Sickle started in the NCAA championship game all four years at UNC, winning a national title as freshmen. They were part of Atlantic Coast Conference championships in 2011 and 2012, and over their four years the Tar Heels went 88-9. Along with classmate Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany, they now hold the program record for games played with 97.
Craddock and Wold both earned All-America honors for the first time. Craddock becomes the 33rd player in school history to earn first-team All-America honors. Including her, 33 Tar Heels have earned first-team honors on 55 occasions. She led UNC in goals this season with 26 and ranked fourth in the NCAA in goals per game (1.37) and fifth in points per game (3.05).
Wold started all 20 games in which she appeared and was named ACC Freshman of the Year.
UNC finished the 2012 season 23-2, reaching the final game for the fourth year in a row and the fifth time in the past six seasons.
