Aiden Wilcox learned a life lesson at summer camp.
"We learn how to rig a boat, de-rig a boat, and all the knots to sail ... I plan on sailing the rest of my life," said the second-year sailing camper.
The Key West Community Sailing Center offers four two-week summer programs for students 8 to 17 years old, with the first session ending June 21. Sessions are $300 per student. The next session will be June 24 to July 5, followed by one July 8 to 19 and another July 22 to Aug. 2.
The center has educated and inspired young sailors for 37 years, teaching more than 4,000 kids how to sail.
"What makes you a good teacher is your love of children," sailing instructor Stephanie Watkins said. "I love children and I love sailing, so this is what I am meant to do."
Another counselor, Stephanie Zou, has volunteered at the camp for the past four years.
"They tend to be really timid and tired at first, but in the end they really love it," Zou said. "That is most rewarding."
From fourth-year campers to those stepping into a sailboat for the first time, the skills learned at the Sailing Center last a lifetime.
"We have learned the bowline, figure-eight, square, and cleat knots," camper Brody McCandless said.
"My favorite part is when we learn how to jibe, tack, and scull," added his brother, Cole McCandless.
The camp also teaches teamwork and respect for nature.
"I have been teaching here for five years and it is interesting to watch how they learn, how they connect with the wind and nature, and how they pick up on it and work together," said chief instructor Talis McMullen. "The thing I enjoy the most is their initial reaction, 'Oh, it's learning,' response, but after they capsize the boat, they feel much more comfortable.
"Part of sailing is seeing nature, things like turtles, dolphins, and tarpon. When they do that in the silence of a sailboat, they can truly appreciate it," she added.
McMullen has sailed from Tampa to Key West and aims to "blue-water" sail, meaning on the open ocean. But she'll keep teaching children, she said.
The sailing center, at 705 Palm Ave., at Garrison Bight, offers lessons for people ages 8-80 and is also working on establishing a special needs camp. The club boasts members from all over the world and offers programs on a donation-only basis.

MW team launch new UK wine fair
Husband and wife MW duo Peter Richards and Susie Barrie are looking to fill a "gap in the market" with the launch of a new UK consumer wine fair.
Due to take place at the Winchester Guildhall from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 November, The Wine Festival has been timed to coincide with people's Christmas wine shopping, as well as the city's Christmas market and ice rink.
"We saw a gap in the market for a wine festival with a local focus," the couple told the drinks business. "Sometimes in this country we don't celebrate what we have on our doorstep enough – in Hampshire we have some amazing wine producers, shops, restaurants and other related businesses."
As a result, they explained, "We wanted to bring all this together under one beautiful roof in Winchester's Guildhall, along with other complementary wine offerings, to give up to 2,000 people the chance to try a huge range of delicious wines and buy off the back of it."
The pair, who run Susie & Peter's Wine School and a Winchester-based consultancy business, as well as being regular resident wine experts on BBC television show Saturday Kitchen, described the festival format as "designed to help people expand their wine horizons in a fun, easy-going atmosphere".
As part of this aim, they explained: "We'll be having 'taste stations' allied to a colour-coded system that will help flag up wines for different palates on each exhibitor's table, meaning the interaction between exhibitors and visitors is easier at the same time as encouraging people to try new things." The event will also feature a series of masterclasses hosted by Barrie and Richards.
Although organisation for The Wine Festival remains in the early stages, the couple confirmed a "wonderfully positive" initial reaction to the event, with a number of retailers and producers already signed up.
"We're aware it's a busy time in the trade and there are other festivals out there," they acknowledged, "but we feel ours offers a very real point of difference and this model is a great way to get people engaged in wine and support local business."
For more information or to enquire about exhibiting at the fair, email Helen Chesshire.

RETAIL spending has a good start to the year, reducing the likelihood of an interest rate cut in the next few months.
Australian retail spending fell 0.4 per cent in March, but was up 2.2 per cent in the March quarter, the Australian Bureau of Statistics says.
Economists had been forecasting a rise of 0.1 per cent for the month and a 1.7 per cent rise for the quarter.
JP Morgan economist Ben Jarman said the March result was weaker than the January and February spending figures.
"A lot of the categories that had been strong, like household goods and department stores, unwound their previous jump," he said.
"Real consumer demand was quite solid and that's the first real information we have on first quarter GDP (gross domestic product)."
Mr Jarman said an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday is unlikely.
"We don't think the weakness in the numbers are there to justify a cut yet," he said.
"If you've got retail spending growth running at two per cent at quarter you can't say the numbers are weak."
Mr Jarman said the outcome March quarter capital expenditure data out on May 30 will be a crucial part of whether the RBA cuts the cash rate at its June meeting.
HSBC Australia chief economist Paul Bloxham agreed the March figures were unlikely to convince the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the cash rate.
"I think they would look at them as broadly positive," he said.
"They (the RBA) don't tend to get hung up on any one month's numbers and it's certainly the case that the trend in the retail numbers is improvement."
He said while the monthly figures were weaker, the retail sector had recorded strong growth during the quarter.
"In general they are actually quite good numbers," he said.
"After very strong numbers in January and February, a small retreat is still a very positive result."

Way cool! My gaol for this year is to have a tree for every room as well! :elf3:
We still have to keep fragile ornaments higher on the tree. My boys simply cannot resist fiddling with the ornaments!!
I remember those days Mike. It seemed as though the kids would never stop touching the ornaments. I would put the non-breakable ones at the bottom and the more delicate ones on top. I would also secure the delicate ones by twisting the metal ornament hooks around the branch several times!
I will probably have at least 3 trees. My daughters each put up a small one (18-24 inch)in their bedrooms, and I have an 8 foot one in the living room. If I ever find my white tree, it will go up in the den. If I don't find it, I may purchase another 3' tree. I really want to do a themed tree - maybe dolls with blue bows, beads and topper!
MW, love the idea of your 4 trees. :elf3:

I assume most of you are using a shirt and maybe a stuffsack like I was planning on doing but how are the fabricated pillows? I see western mountaineering has a down pillow, any experiences with it? Air chambered ones? I love a cold flat pillow at night so I figured I buy and try one. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance, EricMar 30, 2007 at 9:04 am #1384147

I have tried the inflatable pillow sold on this site. I have tried silnylon sacks with clothing. I recently got the WM pillow. I will gladly carry this 4 oz. item all the time now as it is incredibly comfortable compared to the previous things I mentioned. Could be considered a luxury or an necessity depending on your sleep needs…but I am finding as I get older I need something to rest my head on at night.Mar 30, 2007 at 9:10 am #1384152

Hey Scott, thanks for your help. I figure it's cheap enough to buy it and try it so I may just order one. I can always decide to bring it along on plane trips. Thanks.Mar 30, 2007 at 10:25 am #1384176

I bought a BPL single chamber and wasn't thrilled. I thought I might try to heat-press the center, and see it that holds, likely burning a hole through it and saying "whoops!".
I normally just stuff a few items of clothing and stuff sacks in my fleece, but adding a platypus inside that might be better too.Mar 30, 2007 at 1:14 pm #1384214

I use a pair of "water wings" that I split down the middle on a seam. It works really well. Here is a photo of my sleep setup and you can see the pillow. This was the only night I used the tarp… a really light rain. I was glad to get a picture of it in full bloom otherwise it would have spent the week inside my pack.
The term "best" is obviously relative. This is "best" for me because it provides the right support and lets me sleep on my side more easily. It is very light and when deflated takes up very little pack space.
This is not an invention of mine. A good friend passed the tip onto me. Perhaps it will work for you.
As a follow-up my trekking poles were super-ultralight… zero ounces! I left mine at home and borrowed a pair from one of my hiking buddies to pitch my tarp. In a group of hikers there never seems to be a shortage of unused trekking poles. :)Mar 30, 2007 at 2:19 pm #1384224

Brian LewisMember
@brianleLocale: Pacific NW
In the YMMV category, I've never related to the need for a specialized stuff sack that has a fuzzy side to make it a better pillow (Granite Gear sells one of these too).
I put whatever pillow I end up creating for the night under my sleeping bag top/hood area, so my head is on the bag. Then it doesn't matter if it's rain clothes or a silnylon stuff sack or whatever kind of surface to the "pillow", since I'm not laying directly on it.
All that said, I'm still not happy with my pillow setup; for warmer nights, no problem, but colder nights when I'm wearing all my clothes, it gets a little thin trying to build a pillow. I don't find an inflated 2L hydration bag enough. But I've changed some gear choices recently; maybe scratching around I'll come up with something at least adequate for colder nights!Mar 31, 2007 at 12:12 pm #1384347

@jcarter1Locale: Pacific Northwest
After 4-5 different pillow setups (including child flotation pillows and the inflatables sold at BPL), I've finally settled on one that works for me. It's the most comfortable UL setup I've found, and it adds 0.0oz to my setup.
I take my 500ci stuffsack (homemade version of the ones sold at BPL), and insert my folded pair of rain pants (folding them in half and then in thirds creates a nice, smooth rectangle six layers thick). Then I add my 4L Big Zip platypus. On top of this I add my rain jacket. I then take one deep breath and inflate the platypus. I am able to put the cap on fast enough that it traps most of the air inside. In fact, most of the time it automatically deflates to the perfect thickness. Finally, I loop the draw cord around the platypus cap, keeping the stuff sack secured onto everything (it doesn't all fit into the sack completely; some hangs out the opening, but it all stays together with the drawstring over the cap).
Since I never go to sleep in my rain gear, I will always have these as a pillow option. And serving this dual function helps me justify the added weight of a rain suit (something I am inclined to bring anyway in the PNW). The stuff sack keeps everything together and keeps my head oils away from the waterproof-breathable membrane. The stuffsack will also keep wet rain gear isolated from my sleeping environment.
The trick I found was to stow the rain gear in flat layers rather than rolling the rain gear around the platypus. I've found that this creates a much more level surface, and I don't notice any "bubble" effect (that is, it doesn't feel like my head will roll off the pillow or that it will slide out from underneath my head). This is in part due to the larger 4L platypus and leaving it partially uninflated. But I also think that by folding the clothing rather than rolling it, the edges are thicker (due to the fabric folds), adding stability to the platypus. Also, it is much easier to fill the stuff sack with empty layers than to roll everything up and try to squeeze it in.
I carry a 4L platy anyway so that I can take warm showers and camp away from water. But most of the time my 2L wide mouth bottle (my on-the-trail water bottle), holds enough for camp, thus freeing the Big Zip for my pillow. So the Big Zip platy serves 3 functions: extra/backup water storage, pillow, and shower. That alot of functionalith for 2.3oz, and worth the extra tenths of an ounce over the 2L version. Therefore my net weight for the pillow is 0.0oz, and every component is multi-use.Mar 31, 2007 at 12:27 pm #1384349

For those of you looking at inflatable pillows, I own both the aforementioned MontBell UL pillow, as well as the Entex I-Beam inflatable sold at REI. Both are very comfortable:
Entex – http://www.rei.com/product/610507
19" x 12.5" – 6oz – $3
Cheap as heck but very comfortable because the I-Beam construction provides uniform thickness even when only partially inflated.
MontBell – https://www2.montbell.com/america/asp/products/Spg_shosai.asp?cat=&hinban=1124290
18.5" x 10.6" – 2.3oz – $29.
UL and comfy — a tad expensive, and often unavailable — unless you ask either Brett or Miguel, the resident MB pimps — to buy and ship to you from Japan.Mar 31, 2007 at 4:07 pm #1384359

One of the members here asked me to try to pick up one of the pilows recently and I went to the Mont Bell head store in Tokyo to have a look. They checked with all the stores in Japan and unfortunately the pillow has been sold out everywhere until mid-April. Very popular item. I own one and like Brett have finally found a pillow that I am happy with for camping. Only took me about 35 years to find it! I like Ken Helwig's feature of a fleece surface. One thing I don't like about inflatable pillows (even the MB one) is when my ear lies against the the non-porous surface the inability for air to escape fro my ear canal often creates painful air pressure. A fleece surface eliminates this.Mar 31, 2007 at 8:08 pm #1384379

The two best things about the montbell pillow are the toggles to attach it to a mattress, and the built in indentations in the center of the pillow which cradle your head and keep it centered in the middle, whether you sleep on your back or side, toss or turn.

I use two single chamber FlexAir pillows sewn together along the excess material outside the heat seal. The double pillow creates what is basically a big water wing style pillow… which is much more comfortable than a single chamber… since it creates a place for your head to rest.
Also, since actual water wings are made out of relatively heavy vinyl… they are usually actually heavier and smaller than my 1.0 oz doubled up Flexair. My water wing pillow made from an actual water wing is 1.5 oz and 1/4 the size of my flexair "water wing". I bought a box of 50 for $25 rather than paying $6 for 3 on BPL.
On not crazy about the double chamber FlexAir. I prefer my "two singles sewn together" option.Apr 3, 2007 at 10:18 am #1384682

I was in the Montbell Boulder store today and was told that the pillows would be arriving on April 27th. Apparently, they have become a cult item (with good reason ,IMO) and sell out as soon as they arrive. Anyone looking for one should be prepared to act quickly.Apr 19, 2007 at 2:42 pm #1386659

Hi Dondo,
Do you know if the other stuff marked "available soon" will be arriving at a similar date? I've got my eyes on the 90 Pad and 30 extension piece, plus the pillow.
Thanks!Apr 19, 2007 at 3:14 pm #1386665
Hi Daniel, I haven't checked the Montbell site in a while, so didn't think to ask about the other items. The guy I talked to, who seemed pretty knowledgeable, said something about a big spring shipment coming in soon. I think you'll really like the 90 Pad + pillow combo. The 90 pad is way more comfortable than the only other torso pad I've slept on, the POE Uberlite.

A game from the town of Kirkwall which involves two sides, the uppies and the doonies, attempting to get a ball made of cork covered in leather to opposite goals on each side of the town. There are no rules and no limit on team size. Often there is 100 to 150 on each side. Uppies have got to get the ba to a wall, Doonies have to get the ba to the harbour and in the water. When the Ba is scored the winning team members then fight to determine the winner of the Ba.
The game is only played on Christmas Day and New Years Day.

Over the next four days the Waugh twins will make their final appearance at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Most likely it will also be the last important contest of their careers.
NSW could sneak into the Pura Cup final to be played at the MCG but it is a long shot. More likely the brothers will pack their kit on Sunday evening and put it away forever.
The picket fence will close behind them, and then open for the next generation. Part of the terrible beauty of sport is that the show always moves on.
It has been a long and extraordinary journey for two young men who shared a room in Picnic Park Road, Panania, throughout their boyhood.
Between them the twins have played 2161 matches for various provincial and international teams, scoring 93,246 runs, striking 221 hundreds, taking 1167 wickets and holding 1293 catches. Not bad for one womb, one birth, one bedroom, one classroom, one game and sometimes one thought.
As far as Australians are concerned, they are the most famous twins since Romulus and Remus. Their relationship has provoked fascination and speculation for it is no small thing to grow up alongside a legend. But which was to be the legend?
From the start the boys knew about the survival of the fittest. From the beginning they were under pressure. It's hard enough being a younger brother. Astonishingly, both survived. Romulus did not kill Remus and rule alone. In the end, the weaker brother found the fortitude to build a career of his own.
Steve was the pricklier of the Waugh boys, a cactus alongside a lily. At school he was untidy, rebellious and combative enough to break an opponent's teeth on the soccer field.
His later sanctification has glossed over the fiery part of his character, the inner rage that has driven him towards amazing feats. In sport and business he has been calculating, ruthless, insecure and inspired.
Always there was the need to pass the test. His softer side has been reserved for family and friends. Somewhere deep in the hearts the twins envied each other. And so formidable forces were unleashed from a single room.
Mark was the gentler brother, a quiet, obedient schoolboy whose reserve worried his teachers. An observer of life, he did not have his brother's craving for competition or desire to be in the thick of the action.
Usually Steve was the captain and Mark was disparaged as gifted and charming and likeable and other epithets that slighted even as they praised. He saw his brother rise and become famous and a leader and it must have hurt.
Somehow he survived. Actually he did better than that. He has scored 26,772 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 52, about the same as Allan Border, Greg Chappell and Stephen Rodger Waugh. And he has usually finished on the winning side, which is a family custom.
Inevitably, Steve was the first of the twins to play for NSW. On December 7, 1984, he appeared at the Gabba and reached 31 before falling to Jeff Thomson. It is nearly 20 years ago.
Stevie Wonder was topping the charts with I Just Called To Say I Love You and Bob Hawke was installed as prime minister. Waugh was a skinned rabbit of a cricketer, shy and watchful so that his sudden explosions at the crease came as a surprise. Always there has been a protective ring around him. Always the world has been kept at bay.
Meanwhile, Mark was languishing and soon was awarded the nickname of "Afghanistan" - the forgotten Waugh. Finally, on October 28, 1985, he made his debut for NSW in Hobart, scoring 13 before falling to Winston Davis. He did not reach 50 until his 15th innings.
Strokeplay came easily to him but he was prone to lapses of concentration. Afterwards, he admitted that he had lacked rigour, and it was a grievous fault. But there were compensations, notably his catching at slip and a grace expressed at the crease and in the fairness of his play.
Before long, Waugh the slightly older was chosen to play for Australia. He had a hard time and eventually was dropped in favour of his boyhood roommate. In his first match, Mark scored a lovely hundred against England.
Ever since there have been many wonderful moments and a few setbacks. Now it ends as it began, with the pragmatist and the poet fighting in their contrasting ways to put runs on the board and another victory in the books.
But this tale has been told. The Waughs have played a long and impressive innings and now it is someone else's turn.

So I saw this on FB and it is a homemade liquid week killer that includes a gallon of white vinegar, salt and some dish soap. The directions are fairly straight forward and you add the mixture to a spray bottle and treat any area that has weeds. My question is : are the bees sensitive to white vinegar? I don't intend to spray the hive, I'll continue to pull the weeds there, but on the pathway into the bee yard, I may concider this.
Anyone who has tried this or can recommend an alternative?

Both weighing slightly over two pounds, the Gjocaj twins became Windsor's first babies of 2012 just minutes after midnight.
At 12:06 and 12:08, Din and Gerald were born at Windsor Regional Hospital 10 and a half weeks early.
The boys, who are named after their grandfathers, are in incubation in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Their 24-year-old parents Heather and Leke rushed to the hospital Saturday at 11:30 p.m.
A half hour later, they had two small bundles of joy.
"They're just so tiny and precious," Leke said the first time he laid eyes on his boys.
The twins received care packages from W.E. Care for kids as a traditional welcome for the first baby of the year.

Installed ceiling fan, now kitchen lights won't work...
We installed a ceiling fan last weekend, which works great! However, the ceiling lights in the kitchen, which is adjacent to where the fan is now, won't turn on. They're recessed can lights.
The fan doesn't have lights, which is what we wanted. However, we planned on having our normal kitchen lights!
Any help is appreciated. If it's something simple, we would prefer to do it ourselves instead of calling an electrician--and paying an electrician.
How many and what color were the wires and cables in the fan box? Did you leave any unconnected?
Trial & error
There are 2 white wires & 1 orange wire. We tried all combinations of wiring & none brought the kitchen lights back on. :(
All wires are connected.
Can you describe the connections you made?
Okay, here goes.
Black & Blue fan wires to orange ceiling wire
Ground wire (green) from fan to 1 of 2 white wires from ceiling
White fan wire to other white ceiling wire
The green should not be connected to the white. I suspect that both whites go together.
yep, you lost your kitchen light neutral (a white wire) by not connecting it to the other whites. The ground wire goes to a green ground screw on the fan box, or to other bare or green wiwres in the box.
Awesome! I have have the hubby fix it when we get home this evening! I will let you know if it doesn't work, but I'm hoping it fixes the problem!!
Thank you so much, Jim and Sirsparksalot!

Residents of a central Auckland street say not enough has been done by authorities to close down what they believe is an illegal brothel and tinnie house on their road.
However police say they need to gather evidence and people have been "less than cooperative" in their investigations.
The fire service was called to the Tuarangi Road, Grey Lynn property about 10.12pm last night after a couch was soaked in an accelerant and lit with a candle.
A fire service spokesperson said three trucks were called and a fire in the property's carport was extinguished.
A scene guard remained at the site overnight and fire safety are investigating the incident.
A resident on the street, who did not want to be named for fear of his family's safety, said it was the second such incident at the address in the last year.
"There are two cars burnt out in the carport," he said this morning.
The man said he has seen detectives this morning taking photos of the house, which has been cordoned off.
He claimed the property was being used to sell drugs and an illegal brothel was being run on the site.
"No one is doing anything about it. They continue to deal - they've been caught dealing to nine-year-old kids. They also run an illegal brothel on the front property," the man alleged.
He said on the weekends the house has visitors "every 10-15 minutes".
"On a Friday night there is a line of people down the side of the house. They've got a cage constructed for dealing tinnies.
"Everyone in the neighbourhood knows about it. They just can't understand why it still exists."
He said the people at the property intimidated his wife and children.
About four or five people live in the house, he said.
The man said he had spoken to police and local MP Nikki Kaye, but felt authorities had not done enough to shut the house down.
Auckland City district communications manager Noreen Hegarty defended the police's actions, saying evidence needs to be gathered before they can act.
"You have to gather evidence, and you have to have information to corroborate evidence, and some people have been less than cooperative when it comes to progressing investigations. Having said that, people have been convicted and they are coming up for sentencing on Monday. The fact that some people have been bailed to that address is a matter for the court, it's not a matter than police can interfere in.
"Suffice to say, the owner and resident of the property has got some pretty serious matters before the court. He is appearing on Monday to be sentenced on some offences that he has already been convicted of, including possession of class C cannabis for supply, supplying a class C drug, setting a man trap, and theft of electricity. That relates to some activity by police in August last year."
Ms Hegarty said another man, who is also connected with the property, was charged with possession of a class C cannabis for supply, supplying a class C drug, and possession of an offense weapon.
Ms Hegarty was not sure if all the charges related to offenses at the house.
"But it has certainly come to our attention, that property, in relation to drugs offenses.
"There has been a lot of activity in and around that address since August and earlier last year. Once again, if people visiting the property who we may have spoken with or people have been offended against but don't want to tell us too much about who is responsible or the circumstances under which they may have been offended against, then it makes things even more difficult."
Ms Hegarty said she was aware people were saying a brothel was being run on the property, but police were not aware of any illegal brothel activity and that was a matter for the council.
She said people who do suspect illegal activity in their neighbourhood to contact police.
Ms Hegarty said a scene examination has been completed after the fire, however the occupant of the home has not laid a complaint.
"He has not been as cooperative as we would have liked."

Java rests along a portion of the Pacific Ring of Fire, and is endowed with the wonder and fury of volcanoes, earthquakes and hydrothermal activity. Take a peek at our photographs attached to get a feel for Mount Bromo and surrounding peaks.
Indonesians put a lot of faith and superstition into their volcanoes, to the extent that heads of state will travel to renowned peaks to ask for a rosy future. Maybe that is what Liverpool FC should try next?!
We spent the day before resting in the village on the edge of the valley-like caldera. A flavour of the month with flies, as the entire village was home to millions of the buzzing bastards
Early next morning with head torches at the ready, we headed of into the dark to prepare ourselves for the creeping Discworld like sun rise. The altitude meant a refreshing climate from what had been the norm for the past few months. Jeans, an extra layer on top, walking boots, and I even wore pants! We spent until nearly lunchtime walking up and down and across the caldera floor. It was spectacular. The journey from Probbilingo to the volcanoes had been of lush country ripe with harvest, blessed many years ago now by the very forces we were here to see, hear and smell. But once into the caldera and on Mt Bromo the landscape was moonlike and, rather eerily, sounded hollow if you hurled a chunk of lava into the ground. Very unsettling I can assure you.
I'd give Mt Bromo two thumbs, and two big toes up, plus a hearty slap on the back. Not only can you walk around the frothing, sulphurous crater, not only can you walk across the caldera, but the village is beautiful, and the crowds non existent during the week. It felt like a proper off the beaten track adventure. 'YAY' for Bromo.

Premier League News: Why a Winter Break Is Essential to the English CalendarOctober 16, 2012
The Premier League is more important than the national side. While these are suspicions long held by many supporters, it's still sad to see it written down. A winter break is the natural way to restore some of the balance that is presently lacking between club and country.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore recently spoke to The Daily Telegraph, amid new calls for the implementation of a winter break:
We have tried, but unless somebody is prepared to give something up, it is pretty hard. We are not inclined to reduce the number of clubs in the Premier League—if you were running a theatre and had 380 nights that you wanted to sell, why would you throw 60 or 70 of those nights away?
At the root of the debate is money, of course. The TV rights for the Premier League formed part of a deal worth £3 billion, which begins next year. That's of huge benefit to newly promoted teams, so they will be unwilling to lessen their chances of TV exposure by reducing their calendar, despite being less likely to feature to begin with.
All major European leagues except the Premier League have a winter break, preserving the fitness of players going into the New Year. The Bundesliga, for example, has a break stretching from December 21st to January 20th—the rigidity of the schedule ensures equality each year.
There is a tradition of Boxing Day and New Year games in England, but tradition won't make the national side more competitive.
Going into a summer tournament after a year in a league calendar that seems to get longer every season isn't going to get the best out of the players. Recent results have only confirmed this, and the gap between the top national teams and the English national team grows wider every day.
The opening of St. George's Park is a step in the right direction and a central hub for all England teams can only be of benefit. This sort of facility has proved beneficial to France and Italy over the years, and marks a point where England's major footballing powers finally worked together to achieve a common goal.
However, it comes back to the same point again. If players—as they routinely attest—are overworked going into a tournament with England, are they going to fare any better? It's all very well to say that players are paid too much money to complain about being tired, but that doesn't actually make the problem go away.
England physio Gary Lewin has long supported the winter break, and spoke to The Independent to further affirm his stance:
I'm a strong advocate of the winter break. Even if you didn't cut down on the number of games, it would help, mentally as well as physically. Physical trainers and scientists will tell you that we have a period of deconditioning—that's our summer break—and then a period of conditioning before you're ready.
Then we in England have nine or 10 months before the process is repeated. Even if we had a small break, I believe that the mental relaxation a player enjoyed in that time—without deconditioning much—would have a beneficial effect towards the end of the season.
UEFA have even done studies which indicate that a player is four times more likely to be injured in the last three months in the Premier League than other leagues in Europe.
The relative parity of the EPL compared to, say, La Liga means that every single game has the potential to be a battle for teams with international-calibre players.
It's true that the stars are often rested for games against lower quality opposition, but it's common to see their replacements struggle to put those games away, meaning the top players are forced to come on as substitutes to get the points for their team.
It's a debate that has been circling for years, and the implementation of a winter break would at least put England on level ground with other countries. FIFA already made a concession by scrapping August and February international friendlies, so this acquiescence needs to be built upon in the EPL.
It's true that the designated international weeks that form part of the new plan remove further weekends when considering a break, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the best option is the one that Scudamore refuses to even consider.
Reducing the number of Premier League clubs is still a viable option, especially since it was already cut down in 1995. Dropping the number of teams to 18 wouldn't lose the "60-70 nights a year" that Scudamore mentions and the gaps in the calendar can be consolidated into a winter break, lessening the injury risk between March and May.
Barring the weeks set aside for the break, this enables all cup competitions to run as normal, meaning that the lower leagues are not made to suffer for what is essentially a Premier League dilemma.
Losing the FA Cup replays, as suggested by Scudamore, would cost smaller teams money that could potentially save their season and isn't even worth considering.
The stipulation of the break, however, must be that players do not participate in lucrative winter friendlies that immediately negate the break.
It must be exactly what it suggests, a recuperation period that constitutes time away from football in preparation for the second half of the season and the international calendar beyond. Conditioning training must continue, obviously, but the demands of a game are not there.
It's time international football is given the attention that it deserves in England. It's too easy to expect the players to perform in international tournaments and then lambast them for failing to progress past the quarterfinals, but ignoring the root of the problem just perpetuates the issue.
A winter break is the first step towards acknowledging a problem exists, and that the governing bodies are prepared to do something about it.

A lot of my recent research – about SaaS/PaaS, Agile tools, requirements tools, and innovating with your channel – share a common conclusion: successful technology vendors see integration as more than just a necessary evil. Here's why.
Business problems drive technology adoption
You can see this principle in action in the requirements tools market, which in the last decade has grown larger and more complex. Teams use these tools to address more than one type of requirements-related challenge, so it's easy to see why the tools themselves are now as diverse as as Micro Focus (née Borland) Calibre, Atlassian JIRA, Ravenflow RAVEN, and VersionOne's Ideas Management module. If your problem is, "People don't like using our product," you might look at a visualization tool like iRise to shorten the feedback loop, leading to better design decisions. If, instead, your problem is, "We don't have a good business justification for what we build," you might look at IBM Rational DOORS to evaluate the pros and cons of alternative scenarios for what goes into the next release.
Posted by Tom Grant on May 3, 2010
In the tech industry, the "tell me a story" approach to product requirements – personas, user stories, use cases, visualizations, etc. – has made a bigger impact than many people may realize. Not only has this new type of content resolved many problems that existed with requirements, but it has led to a brand new way of looking at requirements. By thinking of requirements as stories, it's easier to figure out what kinds of requirements we need, and why we need them.
A tale of two mini-series
The fundamental question when writing any kind of story is, "What are you trying to convey?" I was thinking of exactly that question while I was watching the HBO mini-series The Pacific. I probably wasn't the only person to expect The Pacific to be the same kind of story as Band Of Brothers, just transplanted from the European to the Pacific theater of operations. I was wrong.
As it turns out, the new series has a very different kind of story to tell. Band Of Brothers depicted the experience of combat, in (literally) gory detail. While The Pacific does have more than enough battle scenes, it also tries to show military life beyond the battlefield. For example, one episode focused on the painful romantic choices that young people stationed in faraway lands have to make. Another episode depicted something rarely seen in war movies, the psychiatric casualties of war. Far more than Band Of Brothers, The Pacific shows more of the atrocious things that young men under brutal, terrifying conditions are capable of doing.

It's "What have you been watching?", my chance to tell you what movies and TV I've been watching recently that I haven't already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I've missed them.
The usual "TMINE recommends" page features links to reviews of all the shows I've ever recommended, and there's also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I've reviewed ever. And if you want to know when any of these shows are on in your area, there's Locate TV.
A little bit earlier than normal, thanks to the Easter bank holidays in the UK, but we'll back to the usual Friday slot next week. New shows I've already reviewed this week:
- The Gods of Wheat Street (Australia: ABC1)
But I also watched:
Fargo (US: Tuesdays, 10pm, FX; UK: Sundays, 9pm, Channel 4, starting Sunday)
Despite the name and the Coen Brothers' presence in the producers' roster, rather than a straight retelling of the movie, Fargo is an anthology series, each season telling a different 'true' crime story from the Minnesota region, the movie effectively being just one of those stories. Indeed, despite the setting and there being a William H Macy-esque schmuck of an accountant (Martin Freeman) and a bright but unlikely female sheriff (Allison Tolman) to investigate the heinous crimes of a newly arrived criminal (Billy Bob Thornton), the show has far more in common with the Coen Brothers' No Country For Old Men, right down to Billy Bob's dark angel with an eccentric haircut and some nice-guy sheriffs (Shawn Doyle, Colin Hanks) who get close, sometimes too close, to a force of evil beyond their experiences.
While not a patch on the movie, Fargo is nevertheless a decent piece of work, well written, well shot, with some eye-opening scenes, and largely well acted, particularly by Doyle but especially by Thornton, who's almost as mesmerising as Javier Bardem was. But it's largely interested in issues of masculinity, what it means to be a man and what happens if you fall short of those societal demands, so the female characters get short shrift from the story. Importantly, the relatively inexperienced Tolman has yet to make anything like the impact that Frances McDormand did in the movie, although she's likely to shift in importance in later episodes (spoiler)given Doyle unfortunately gets killed towards the end of the first episode.

Are You a Same Sider?
It's so great to see a young couple in love, with their public displays of affection and their fondness for sitting on the same side of the table at a restaurant. Wait, hold on a second. Sitting on the same side of the table instead of across from each other?
Do you think it's weird for couples to sit next to each other on the same side of a table?
Are you and your significant other "same-siders" or do you always sit across from each other?
Are there certain times when it's OK to sit next to each other?
Apparently it disturbes some people. Check it out....http://adifferentworldview.blogspot.com/2010/10/warning-dont-become-same-sider.html

LEGO Cuusoo community member, Czar, has submitted a Castle Crashers LEGO set idea!!! With enough votes the proposed set can get a chance to become an official LEGO product.
Castle Crashers has gone off the screen and out of the consoles through the figurines and clothing designs that were created by The Behemoth, but for the first time we are seeing a fan-made project that could help the characters cross over to a different medium.
Can you imagine all the knights in the Thieves' Forest running away on LEGO deers? Maybe they could even include poop stickers… (One can only hope)

Dear Cancer Project supporter,
Celebrate the holidays with a healthier gingerbread recipe! This recipe still contains added sugar, so it is important to consume it in moderation. One of the active compounds in ginger, gingerol, may help to suppress tumor growth and tumor blood supply and can kill cancer cells. Also included in this recipe are ground cloves, one of the richest sources of antioxidants.
You can use spreadable fruit, thinned with a bit of water, as a topping.
Makes 12 servings
1/2 cup raisins3/4 cup sugar1/2 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons cinnamon1 teaspoon ground ginger3/4 teaspoon nutmeg1/4 teaspoon ground cloves1 3/4 cups water2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon sodium-free baking powder1/4 cup blackstrap molasses2 tablespoons vegetable oilvegetable oil spray1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Combine raisins, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and cool completely (this is important).
Once cool, preheat oven to 350˚F. Stir flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add to the cooled fruit mixture along with molasses and vegetable oil. Stir to mix. Spread into a 9"×9" pan that has been lightly coated with vegetable oil spray and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Before slicing, sprinkle with a thin layer of powdered sugar.

MS Streets & Trips 2013 for Windows 8
All replies
I got the 2013 working with Windows 8 by reinstalling the driver that goes with the device that picks up satellite signals. The driver connected the device to the comm port, and I then configured Streets and Trips to go to that comm port for its information. For my device, it was comm port 3.
I had the same problem and was able to solve it as follows. Go into Control Panel/System & Security/Windows Firewall. Enter the section labelled - Allow an AP through windows firewall. I noticed that Streets & Trips was not listed as an allowed AP. Browse for Streets & Trips and add as an allowed AP. Exit & restart your computer to allow the Windows update. It should then work fine (did for me anyway). Good luck.

Years before the entire world got wrapped up in Da Vinci Code fever, I was enthralled by The Eight, a book about a fictional chess service given to Charlemagne that possessed mystical properties. The author, Katherine Neville, follows the tale of the fictional Montglane service when it is unearthed from its resting place beneath Montglane Abbey, France, in 1790 and distributed among the nuns, who are charged with keeping it safe. One of those nuns, Mireille, finds herself in the midst of a revolution and entangled in the mystery of the service, encountering such historical heavy hitters as Napoleon Bonaparte, Catherine the Great and many more. Centuries later, in the 1970s, accountant Catherine Velis is sent to Algiers on a mission; when one of her old friends asks her to look for pieces of the Montglane service, she enters into a world of danger, intrigue and the enigma of chess. As black and white battle for possession of the service and the ultimate secret it contains, Mireille and Catherine become intertwined across the ages in ways theyre just beginning to understand
Published in 1988, The Eight was Nevilles first novel; I describe her as the intellectuals Dan Brown. Her books contain all the cryptic puzzles and historical information of Browns, but without the inane dialogue and one-dimensional characters. And now -- finally! -- shes come out with a sequel to The Eight. Buy both The Eight and her brand-new novel, The Fire, when she stops in Boulder today at the Boulder Book Store (1107 Pearl Street, Boulder, 303-447-2074, www.boulderbookstore.com) or tomorrow at the Tattered Cover (2526 East Colfax Avenue, 303-322-7727, www.tatteredcover.com).

HSNi Net Sales Climb 10% as Cornerstone, HSN Strengthen
December 11, 2010,
Net income fell 10% to $14.9 million. Sales for the period ended Sept. 30 rose 10% to $708.4 million.
By segment, sales increases in the quarter were strongest at Cornerstone, up 23% to $214.7 million - "the largest year-overyear growth rate of any quarter since 2005," said Mindy Grossman, HSNi ceo. Internet sales represented 56.9% of sales.
"We undertook key strategic initiatives this quarter that were focused on customer engagement by creating content-immersive experiences and leveraging our unique multichannel platform," she explained.
Cornestone's sales growth was attributable, the company said, to "an increase in demand for luxury and outdoor products, the execution of strategic merchandising and marketing initiatives and an investment in catalog circulation in Cornerstone's three largest brands -- Frontgate, Ballard Designs and Garnet Hill."
The return rate increased to 15.9% from 14.2% primarily due to a $2.5 million sales provision recorded for the voluntary product recall.
Sales also increased at HSN but more modestly - by 6% - to $493.7 million, including a 10% sales growth at HSN.com, representing 30.9% of HSN's net sales, up from 29.8% in the prior year. Units shipped and average price point increased 3% and 2%, respectively. Also during the quarter, HSN also enjoyed "best customer growth" of 9%, due primarily to strength in apparel, accessories and electronics as well as the addition of new brand partners and marketing initiatives, Grossman said.
Year-to-date, net income soared by 73% to $57.236 million on a 9% sales increase to $2.08 billion.

Broad Channel Resident Channels Roosevelt
Broad Channel resident and Rockaway Artists Alliance vice president Dan Guarino "volunteered for the part of a lifetime" in bringing to life President Theodore Roosevelt at the Friends of Maple Grove Cemetery's Spirits Alive! walking tour event.
On Saturday, October 9, he and some 20 other volunteer actors, spread throughout the tranquil, park-like grounds, to portray the notable individuals, both well-known and humble, who are buried in the historic Kew Gardens cemetery.
Guarino, who is also a photographer, writer and musician/singer, was thrilled to engage visitors as they wound their way through the oldest part of the grounds and stopped at the various designated gravesites. (Guarino and his wife Liz Guarino are also authors of Images of America: Broad Channel.)
As Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President, Rough Rider, naturalist, author, NYC Police Commissioner, former New York Governor, social reformer and political crusader, he spoke movingly about his dear longtime friends Jacob and Elizabeth Riis.
Elizabeth Riis is buried in Maple Grove. A small lamb marks her tombstone.
He spoke to as many as 20 to 30 visitors at a time and also answered their questions.
Jacob Riis, who emigrated from Denmark in 1872, became a news reporter, photographer and America's first photojournalist.
He also became an ardent advocate for New York City's poor. His first book, "How The Other Half Lives," still available at the public library, stirred many to action in the cause of social justice.
Jacob Riis Park, on the far western end of the Rockaways, was named to honor him.
Bringing things full circle, Theodore Roosevelt is credited with establishing the National Park system, of which Fort Tilden, where the Rockaway Artists Alliance has its galleries, is now a part.
Notable also at the annual Spirits Alive! was Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, who played Stephanie Grebe, wife of radio pioneer Alfred Grebe.
Carl Ballenas, along with Carol Lacks, Andrew Koslosky, Lucille Feder, Mandy Gor and Bonnie Dixon, organized the event and wrote many of the actors' scripts.
Ballenas, a teacher, along with the students of the Aquinas Honor Society of the Immaculate Conception School, was instrumental in raising funds to commission a new bust of Jacob Riis which was recently installed in the Rockaway park that bears his name.
The installation ceremony for the new bust was held at the park last summer.
"It was quite an experience," Dan Guarino said. "It really does make history come alive."

Only a matter of weeks to go now for the consultation on the social care green paper: Care, Support, Independence: Shaping the future of care together. But I won't be the first service user or carer to say that we can't consider the green paper without also taking into account the Welfare Reform Bill.
Recently our attention has been focused particularly on the links between benefits and social care because of the disturbing proposal contained in the green paper to end greatly valued universal benefits like Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance and instead put the cash into the discretionary budgets local authorities have for means and needs tested social care. Currently the number of signatures opposing this on the Prime Minister's website totals nearly 17,000.
Vicious and dishonest campaigns
The Welfare Reform Bill is a very different matter to the social care green paper. It was rushed into existence by a government determined to reduce the number of people on benefits because of the political stick it felt it was getting for being 'soft on scroungers'. I wonder now that the Sun has switched sides whether the government will regain the courage to ignore the vicious and dishonest campaigns that tabloid has against powerless groups like people on benefits, refugees and asylum seekers, since there's nothing to be gained now by brown-nosing its proprietor.
But the government committed itself to 'getting one million people off incapacity benefits' and as the party conferences have highlighted, benefit reform which makes life more difficult for people who are poor and marginalised or debarred from the labour market, is still seen by politicians of many colours as an easy vote winner.
The Welfare Reform Bill has been a mess. A major job as it has gone through parliamentary process has simply been to try and make it workable. But its ethical stance continues to be highly problematic. The essential problem that the Department for Work and Pensions still seems to have is that it frames people as intentionally dependent. Its model of human nature must be close to that of Machiavelli. People are, as best we can judge, in its eyes, inherently dishonest, lazy and on the scrounge.
Green paper undermined
All the positive rhetoric of the social care green paper, with its emphasis on inclusion, involvement and support are undermined by the DWP and its Welfare Reform Bill which are framed in terms of people's deficits and pathology. Having a job is not seen as a right which the DWP and JobCentre Plus have conspicuously failed adequately to support people to secure. Instead it has been seen as a responsibility which it is assumed people want to shirk. You have to prove you need any help and then face the most negative stereotyping. Instead there should be an awareness that by ensuring people the support they need, they are likely to be able to live more independently and make the kind of contribution to their community most of us want to make.
You can't have a social care green paper based on the philosophy of independent living successfully co-existing with a Welfare Reform Bill that still seems to suspect people who are poor, older, disabled or chronically ill of being the internal enemy. Something has to give – and my real fear is that it will end up being people at the mercy of such policy.
But there's a real alternative. As Conservative plans to attack poor and powerless people become clearer, government might do well to remember that its positive history and the historic value people have attached to it have been as the creator of the welfare state and advocate of the disadvantaged.

I've seen quite a few cases of IT literacy, one of which came from my secondary IT teacher. Basically we were about half way through a module for our coursework, one that would make up a pretty big chunk of our final grade. It was web design so it was pretty complicated, we had to draw up page layouts and site maps and all that jazz before even touching something like dreamweaver. We were coming to the point now where we'd spent about two months on this module and we were finishing our sites and just adding to them to get a higher mark, when one day the teacher tells us that something went wrong and we have to scrap this module and start a new one.
Obviously everyone was pissed since we'd all put a lot of time and effort into this project, and for a change the majority of us were enjoying it too. After a while of us complaining to him we gave in and finished up the lesson by starting another module based around using presentation software.
At the end of the day I get a message saying that the teacher wants me to come to his room after school. Assuming I'd left something in there, which turns out I had, I went along and spoke to him after my last class. He waits until everyone has left the room before opening up dreamweaver and begins to explain why we had to drop this module. Turns out he didn't know how to implement CSS stylesheets into web pages and without that we couldn't get any higher than a grade D. So I spent the next half an hour showing him how to do it and then leaving him to it to play around with the software while I ran off to try and get to a college interview on time.
Needless to say telling that story to the guy who was interviewing me pretty much sealed my place on the course.

Strong passenger numbers for Hunter rail line
The New South Wales transport agency has refuted recent claims of an exodus of passengers from Hunter rail lines, saying in fact the opposite is true and patronage is growing.
Transport for NSW says data for the period between 2001 and 2011 shows significant growth on the Hunter rail line.
It says patronage has grown by around 20 per cent, with an extra 227,000 journeys.
The figures were not so positive for the Central Coast, which saw journeys decline by about 12 percent.
With a decision expected soon on the cutting of Newcastle's rail line, public transport advocate Darrell Harris says it is vital to get a true picture of what is going on.
"The Hunter has performed pretty well in terms of the entire city rail network, the Central Coast has been the absolute worst performer."
He says the two regions experienced very different results, with the Central Coast recording a big drop in adult passenger numbers.
"It's the complete flip side in the Hunter where our increases have been completely dominated by adults.
"A lot of those have been in peak hour, which means workers.
"They're more likely to be using the train instead of their car, which is in line with State Government transport goals."
The transport data does show a continued decline in bus patronage across the Hunter, despite a recent network review aimed at boosting growth.

Nanotechnology offers new approach to increasing storage ability of dielectric capacitors
For Back to the Future fans, this week marked a milestone that took three decades to reach.
Oct. 21, 2015, was the day that Doc Brown and Marty McFly landed in the future in their DeLorean, with time travel made possible by a "flux capacitor."
While the flux capacitor still conjures sci-fi images, capacitors are now key components of portable electronics, computing systems, and electric vehicles.
In contrast to batteries, which offer high storage capacity but slow delivery of energy, capacitors provide fast delivery but poor storage capacity.
A great deal of effort has been devoted to improving this feature — known as energy density — of dielectric capacitors, which comprise an insulating material sandwiched between two conducting metal plates.
Now, a group of researchers at the University of Delaware and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully used nanotechnology to achieve this goal.
The work is reported in a paper, "Dielectric Capacitors with Three-Dimensional Nanoscale Interdigital Electrodes for Energy Storage," published in Science Advances, the first open-access, online-only journal of AAAS.
"With our approach, we achieved an energy density of about two watts per kilogram, which is significantly higher than that of other dielectric capacitor structures reported in the literature," says Bingqing Wei, professor of mechanical engineering at UD.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time that 3D nanoscale interdigital electrodes have been realized in practice," he adds. "With their high surface area relative to their size, carbon nanotubes embedded in uniquely designed and structured 3D architectures have enabled us to address the low ability of dielectric capacitors to store energy."
