Rafting Accident Claims the Life of a 29-Year-Old Woman Over the Weekend
A group of rafters on the Poudre River Sunday overturned their raft and one woman has died. The rafters were aboard a non-commercial raft when it tipped over.

If you are going to fall off your inner-tube, into a raging river, it's nice to have trained rescuers nearby. That was the case yesterday on the Poudre River.
Aside from the fact that the water is freezing cold right now, Poudre Fire Authority is telling us to stay out of the Poudre River around Fort Collins.
Last Rush for the Wild West is a film that tackles the issue of what could happen to the Colorado River after the mining. It's being shown by Save the Poudre on January 13, 2015.
I am totally in support of installing a whitewater park where the Poudre River crosses College Avenue in Fort Collins. There are so many good reasons, and some of them are detailed here.
Just about 10 miles west of Fort Collins, Picnic Rock is one of the first areas where you can stop and play for free in Poudre Canyon.
A plan has been submitted by the founders of OtterBox for a 100,000 square foot expansion project for the Poudre River District in Fort Collins that would include a distillery, restaurant, meeting rooms, retail shops and a music venue.
An unidentified woman was rescued from the Poudre River yesterday just after noon about ¼ mile east of Overland Trail and the Poudre River in northwest Fort Collins.
The oil spill in Windsor, Colorado soiled one of our cleanest rivers.
The City of Fort Collins is taking feedback from the public on a proposed white water play park near College Ave on the Poudre River. Find the link here.
About two weeks ago the City of Fort Collins prohibited the operation of any single-chambered, air-inflated devices on the Poudre within Fort Collins city limits due to dangerous conditions on the river. Although the river is still "dangerous," the ban has been lifted.
A brief sightseeing trip to the Poudre River reminded me to remind you: Tubing is not safe in Poudre Canyon. Ever.

The hip is one of the body's largest weight-bearing joints. It consists of two main parts: a ball (femoral head) at the top of the thighbone (femur) that fits into a rounded socket (acetabulum) in the pelvis. Bands of tissue called ligaments (hip capsule) connect the ball to the socket and provide stability to the joint. The bone surfaces of the ball and socket have a smooth durable cover of articular cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones and enables them to move easily.
A thin, smooth tissue called synovial membrane covers all remaining surfaces of the hip joint. In a healthy hip, this membrane makes a small amount of fluid that lubricates and almost eliminates friction in the hip joint allowing pain-free movement.
The most common cause of chronic hip pain and disability is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis are the most common forms of this disease.
Osteoarthritis usually occurs after age 50 and often in an individual with a family history of arthritis. It may be caused by subtle irregularities in how the hip developed. In this form of the disease, the articular cartilage cushioning the bones of the hip wears away. The bones then rub against each other, causing hip pain and stiffness. Learn more...
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the synovial membrane becomes inflamed, produces too much synovial fluid and damages the articular cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness. Learn more...
Traumatic Arthritis can follow a serious hip injury or fracture. A hip fracture can cause a condition known as avascular necrosis. The articular cartilage becomes damaged and, over time, causes hip pain and stiffness.
Hip pain due to arthritis or injury can make normal everyday activities painful and difficult.
Medications, and/or changes to everyday activities, or the use of walking aids such as a cane may be helpful.
If these measures are ineffective in relieving your pain, ask your doctor about hip replacement surgery, or call the Connecticut Joint Replacement Instituteat 1-866-501-CJRI (2574).
Hip replacement surgery can relieve hip pain, increase motion, and help you return to the enjoyment of your favorite everyday activities.
Total knee, hip, and shoulder replacement surgery, as well as other surgical and non-surgical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the joints.

It seems like the electric steering "locks" the car into a "straight" line, but often times that "straight" path heads toward the lane divider. So I'll be going towards the left lane divider, then correct right, then head towards the right lane divider, then correct left, etc. etc. It never seems to just want to go straight ahead.
The EPAS steering gear has drift/pull compensation that is intended to mitigate some of this. Most roads have a crown so driving down a 2 lane road w/ a crown your vehicle will drift to the right, same thing in left lane of a highway.
Next time you sense the condition take note of the road crown to see if that explains what is happening. Switch lanes if you are on freeway to see if that changes condition. The drift/pull compensation should sense the slight steering input and null it out so you don't feel the pull on the wheel but only to an extent. Check your tire pressures to make sure that is not it, can also swap LF & RF tires to see if that resolves issue, tire conicity (one side bigger diam than other) can also cause a pull.

Heather and Kevin's Wedding
"I was nice giving her the one star and that's because the day-of flowers were very pretty. The florist was the worst experience of my wedding. She was rude when we wanted to change things and tried to make us feel bad for changing our minds becuase our budget changed. She's very nice in person but over the phone and email she is extremely rude. I had to go to another florist the day of my bridal portraits because she included blood red carnations in my bouquet that was all pastel colors. Extremely stressful dealing with her. It also took almost 4 months to get our refund since we paid up front. Horrible, you will regret working with her."

What's black and not blue, stout and wheaty, and plain old tasty as all hell? Why it's the venerable Black and Blue! What's that you say? When you've finally
matured and gained class tired of pisswater, do yourself a huge favor and ask your friendly neighborhood bartender for one of these delectible jamies. It requires you to have both Blue Moon (or any Hefeweizen really) as well as Guiness (or similar Stout) on drought.
What you want to do is to first fill about 3/5 of the height of a pint glass full of Blue Moon. Next, grab your bar spoon. and lay it against the inside of the glass, at the top-most level of beer. Hold the other end of the bar spoon steady against the rim of the pint glass using your palm and fingers. Next, position the spoon so directly under the Guiness tap. With your spare hand, slowly open up the Guiness and layer on to the Blue Moon. With a bit of practice, this can be prepared pretty quickly.
Naturally, it's a visual treat that tends to inspire much conversation and "me too" type sales. Needless to say, if Blue Moon and Guiness are good apart, they must be great together.

Re: Mathematica Notebook Organiztion
Surely nobody learns all of Mathematica - not even the people at WRI! If
WRI add (say) string pattern matching (as they did at 5.1) that does not
seem to make the language harder to learn for those who are not
interested in string manipulation.
Languages such as Fortran have indeed become much more complex for the
average programmer, but that is the result of adding whole chunks of new
syntax and pulling stuff in from other languages - producing a muddled
end result. If Mathematica started to do the same - and, for example,
tried to become OO - I would feel concerned.
In my experience most programming effort is wasted on the interfaces
between different software environments because concepts in one
environment don't quite map onto those in another. If the modern
Mathematica reduces the need for that kind of work, that must be beneficial.

Despite some recent doubts about the business model of free municipal wireless, companies like MetroFi are continuing to roll out networks. On Monday MetroFi will launch a free city-wide WiFi network in Foster City, which will be the sixth city in the Bay Area for which the company has launched services. MetroFi says Foster City will be the last WiFi network it launches before it tackles Portland.
MetroFi did manage to do a deal with AT&T earlier this year, and is backed with $9 million from investors Sevin Rosen Fund, August Capital, and Western Technology Investors and private individuals. Sevin Rosen is the same VC fund that last week threw in the towel, saying that the VC business model is broken.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Adding experience to their 2014-15 roster was a goal for the Northern Arizona women's basketball team and they took another step in that direction on Tuesday with the addition of Monique Mulder, a transfer from New Mexico Junior College. Mulder, a 5-foot-3 point guard, will be a junior this upcoming season after two years at NMJC.
"We're very excited to add Monique," said head coach Sue Darling. "She's a winner and a very talented point guard. She has the ability to break her defender down and get into the lane and either finish or dish it off. I also like her ability to play defense because she has the ability to ball up against an offensive player with the best of them. Monique brings the whole package."
Mulder was an integral part in leading the Thunderbirds to the NJCAA Division I National Championships after New Mexico Junior College won its conference and regional championship this past season, finishing with a 25-6 record. On an NMJC team in which only one player averaged double-figure points and no player played more than 20 minutes per game, Mulder averaged 6.5 points in 18.5 minutes per game this past season. As the Thunderbirds' starting point guard, Mulder averaged 3.3 assists per game and led the team in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.5. She also averaged 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 35.4 percent from the field. Mulder posted eight double-figure scoring games with a season-high of 18 in addition to 12 games with at least four assists.
The floor general out of Antioch, Calif. was even more impressive on the defensive end for a team that allowed just 57 points per game on 34.7 percent opponent shooting. Mulder led the Thunderbirds with 70 steals (2.3 per game) and she recorded multiple thefts in 22 of 31 games. Following the season, she was named an All-WJCAC honorable mention selection.
Mulder is NAU's fourth signee – third junior college transfer – for upcoming campaign joining Madi Austin and Mariah Willadsen, both from Mesa Community College, and Tori Lloyd, from Dobson High School. With a pair of seniors-to-be in Raven Anderson and Erikka Banks plus Brittani Lusain, the Big Sky's Outstanding Freshman, and a host of young talent returning, the Lumberjacks are building an impressive roster to return to the Big Sky Championships.
"We're really excited about the team that we'll have next year," Darling said. "We have Raven (Anderson) and Erikka (Banks) leading the way as seniors and our freshmen did a great job this year playing quality minutes. We really feel good about what we have coming back and to add these new pieces, it's going to make for a fun and exciting season next year."

If you have a slightly more sophisticated camera, you can get an even better result by using an external flash, preferably mounted off the camera and positioned over to one side and slightly above the camera. Using a simple diffuser will soften shadows and let scattered light bounce around inside the tabletop studio, providing a more even illumination. Even simply taping a sheet of normal A4 white printer paper in a broad curve over the front of the flash makes a dramatic difference.
This next shot was taken using a larger compact with a flash hot-shoe, and the makeshift diffuser shown above.
Once you've taken your photo, you can improve its appearance using a photo-editing program. Here I've used Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, but the same feature will work in Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact and of course the full version of Photoshop. Use CTRL + L (or Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Levels) to bring up the Levels dialogue. You'll see a row of three eyedropper tools, with black, grey and white ink in them. Click on the right-hand one. You can use this to set the white point of the picture.
Wherever you click on the picture, the program will set the colour at that position as the new white point, and re-calculate the entire picture with a new histogram. If you click on an area of the background you can make the whole area surrounding the subject white, which looks great on a white website page. The finished picture should look something like this:
All you have to do now is crop and resize to fit the auction site's requirements, and save as a JPEG. And that's how you make professional-looking product shots using simple materials and a £5 tripod. I will of course expect a 10 percent commission on all your auction sales from now on…

Notebook: Tishman plans to return next season
Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 12:18 a.m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When Florida recruited Rod Tishman from Israel last summer, there was initial curiosity as to how the point guard who had success overseas would fit in with the Gators.
Fast-forwarding to March, Tishman's freshman season hasn't gone as well as he or the Gators had hoped. The 6-foot-5 Tishman hasn't appeared in a game since the closing seconds of Florida's 72-58 win over LSU on Jan. 16.
"It's hard," Tishman said. "I try to do my best every practice. It's very hard because I never had a situation to sit on the bench. This is basketball, you never know what can happen and you need to raise up yourself."
Asked if he intended to return to UF for his sophomore season, Tishman responded: "I think so. I don't know yet. I think I will be back."
Florida coach Billy Donovan has said that Tishman's inability to play defense has kept him off the floor. In seven games this season, Tishman is averaging 0.6 points and 0.4 rebounds with four assists.
"I feel like I've improved," Tishman said. "I feel like I'm a better defender in practice. And yeah, I know that's what I need to improve on most and I think I improved."
Tishman said he intends to return to the Israeli national team when the semester ends in May. Last summer, Tishman averaged 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists for Team Israel at the European Under-18 Championships.
Despite the limited playing time, Tishman described coming to Florida as a "good experience."
"I learned a lot from the coaches and all the players," Tishman said.
Shipman's honor
Florida sophomore guard Ray Shipman said winning the SEC Scholar Athlete was as big an honor for his parents as it was for him.
"My mom teared up, she was so happy," Shipman said. "She sent a forward text to like every person on her phone. My dad sent out a forward text."
Shipman, a sports management major at UF, currently holds a 3.45 GPA. Shipman was a regular 4.6-4.7 student at Monsignor Pace High School, receiving straight As in honors courses.
"My mom, she thinks I'm lazy in school," Shipman said. "She said imagine if you applied yourself even more. If I applied myself even more, the sky is the limit.
"It's just a transition from high school to college and the fall and keep my same strategy on how to study and all of those things. The team sometimes picks at me because I study too much."
Shipman is the third Gator to win SEC scholar athlete honors in the last five seasons. Former UF guard Lee Humphrey won back-to-back SEC scholar athlete awards (2006-07).
"It just makes me feel good inside," Shipman said. "Those type of awards, individual awards, like basketball awards, your teammates help you out on that, but scholar athlete, that's something you did on your own, so you can pat yourself on the back."
Hot seat
Auburn coach Jeff Lebo said he's not concerned about rumors surrounding his job status.
"I'm focused on my team, I'm focused on the tournament and I'm focused on our next opponent, Florida," Lebo said. "That's where all of my energy and my focus and my concentration is right now."
In six seasons at Auburn, Lebo is 95-92. The Tigers have yet to make the NCAA Tournament during his tenure.
"As in most cases, when the season is over I'll have a talk with my AD," Lebo said. "We'll have a conversation at that point. But that's where it is right now."
Green back
Alabama coach Anthony Grant said that sophomore forward JaMychal Green will be available for Thursday afternoon's opening round game against South Carolina.
Green was suspended for violation of team rules in Alabama's previous meeting against South Carolina on March 3. Last Saturday, Green played 14 minutes off the bench against Auburn.
"I'm not a guy that has a dog house or any of that stuff," Grant said. "We dealt with the situation that we needed to deal with, and we've moved on. JaMychal has moved on, and he's preparing like the rest of our guys do."
Bye or no bye
As the No. 3 seed in the East, Tennessee opens SEC Tournament play this afternoon against No. 6 West seed LSU.
The Vols finished the season 11-5 in the SEC. Two teams in the SEC West — Ole Miss and Mississippi State — received first round byes with 9-7 league records because they were the two top seeds in the West.
Asked about the fairness of the divisional format, Tennessee Bruce Pearl responded: "In the offseason, I'll comment on how conference tournaments, you know, how we think their formats can be improved. But right now, we play LSU (Thursday) at 2:15. It's a fair question. I just don't want to answer it right now."
Florida junior forward Chandler Parsons said he's "definitely" coming back for his senior season. ... It was a reunion of sorts for Florida coach Billy Donovan and his former assistant coaches, Arkansas coach John Pelphrey and Alabama coach Anthony Grant. All three were in the same building for the first time since the opening round of the 2006 NCAA Tournament in Jacksonville. Then, Grant was Donovan's top assistant at UF and Pelphrey was the head coach at South Alabama. Florida beat South Alabama 76-50 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament en route to the first of its back-to-back national titles.

|Home > Opinion > Article
The pressure to keep up with the shift to digital is immense. Those of us who have been reared with print not only find we have to function within the digital environment but also many of us are exercising a lot of influence as the policy and decision makers. We have been entrusted with the responsibility of managing such crucial areas as the new economy and the new education system - some would say they are much the same thing - when we know so little about the underlying principles.
This helps to explain why so much time and energy are being spent haggling over money. Adding up the numbers is within our comfort zone - whereas the new digital learning demands are not.
And so many politicians are so completely out of their depth, they don't even think in terms of the number of online students, so their predictions are confined to platitudes such as "no university will be financially worse off by the year 2007".
The terrible irony is that even if there were enough money for education, what purpose would it serve when we have not put the effort into analysing the momentous changes that are under way?
In schools, there is no point in providing more money to reduce class sizes - or to provide more TAFE places - if students are simply being taught more intensely old values and skills that are no longer required.
Australian teachers now readily report that so many of their students know more about the new technologies than they do themselves. The extent to which teachers are mystified - and marvel at their students' achievements - is almost an in-school joke.
You can't just blame the teachers. It's the lack of leadership in so many places which fails to provide our educators with the means to engage in the new ways of learning and teaching.
The students not only arrive at the classroom door already knowing what the teachers are supposed to teach them but they also know it differently.
"We have learnt by the book, say the teachers, and we have to teach them in an ordered manner - while they have learnt by doing it, from hands-on experience."
This would be like teaching literature by starting with a course on typesetting.
Our old, antiquated system no longer measures what our students know, or what they can do, in the information age. Too often at all levels, it measures how far they fail to meet our old print standards. It totally fails to acknowledge the spectacular skills that so many students have acquired, and which we have not taught them.
There can be no greater educational crisis. We argue about the money while the next generation is left to teach itself. Which is why our failure to develop an education policy which has moved from print to digital will not be costed in financial terms. The price will be our future.

New York, March 13, 2012 -- Moody's Investors Service downgraded SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment,
Inc.'s (SeaWorld Parks) Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and
Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to B1 from Ba3 and its senior secured
credit facility rating to Ba3 from Ba2. The downgrade follows the
company's announcement that it plans to fund a $500 million
dividend to its equity sponsors, led by the The Blackstone Group,
from the proceeds of a $500 million add-on to its existing
term loan B. The downgrade reflects the meaningful increase in
leverage resulting from the transaction, increase in refinancing
risk in 2016/2017, and future event risk related to use of cash
flow and leverage by equity sponsor Blackstone. Moody's also
assigned a Ba3 rating to the $500 million term loan B add-on
and updated the loss given default assessments to reflect the revised
debt mix. The rating outlook is stable.
..Issuer: SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment,
....Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded
to B1 from Ba3
....Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded
to B1 from Ba3
....Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility,
Downgraded to Ba3, LGD3 - 40% from Ba2, LGD3
- 36%
....Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (Term
Loan B), Assigned Ba3, LGD3 - 40% (increased
to $1.34 billion from $844 million)
The significant size of the proposed distribution following a $100
million cash distribution to Blackstone in 2011's third quarter,
and the relatively limited amount of debt reduction since Blackstone's
December 2009 leveraged buyout of SeaWorld Parks' reflect an aggressive
use of cash and debt. Moody's already considered the potential
for cash distributions to equity holders to be high, but the magnitude
of the distributions and the resulting higher leverage profile over the
next several years are above the levels factored into the prior CFR.
The maturity date for the add-on is the same as the existing term
loan B (August 17, 2017), and this further increases the refinancing
risk associated with all of SeaWorld Parks' debt maturing in 2016
and 2017.
Moody's projects SeaWorld Parks will continue to generate meaningful
free cash flow and the net increase in cash interest expense, factoring
in the approximate $10 million proposed reduction in the annual
interest expense on the mezzanine notes, is modest and manageable.
Moody's expects the company will continue to utilize the bulk of
its free cash flow for equity holder distributions and acquisitions,
with debt reduction likely limited to required term loan amortization,
an excess cash flow sweep and potentially modest discretionary pay downs.
SeaWorld Parks' B1 CFR reflects the strong brands and consumer appeal
of its portfolio of 10 regional and destination amusement parks,
tempered by exposure to cyclical discretionary consumer spending,
high debt-to-EBITDA leverage resulting from the 2009 LBO
and proposed dividend distribution, and ongoing risks related to
cash distributions or leveraging actions by equity sponsor Blackstone.
The parks generate meaningful annual attendance (approximately 23.6
million in 2011) and benefit from high entry barriers and distinct advantages
due to the differentiated animal encounters, mix of entertainment
and rides, and broad demographic appeal. Amusement parks
are capital intensive but Moody's anticipates SeaWorld will continue
its good track record of reinvesting in the parks to compete for consumers
with a wide range of entertainment alternatives, maintain the attendance
base and generate free cash flow. Attendance at the parks is seasonal
and vulnerable to weather, changes in fuel prices, public
health issues and other disruptions that are outside of the company's
control. A good liquidity position and cash flow generation provide
flexibility to fund a significant ongoing capital program and rollout
of major new rides and attractions in 2012/2013.
The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation the increased and
sizable level of reinvestment since the LBO should support continued growth
in attendance, revenue and EBITDA over the next 12-24 months.
Based on this forecast and required debt repayment, Moody's projects
debt-to-EBITDA leverage (estimated 5.5x for fiscal
year 2011 incorporating Moody's standard adjustments and pro forma
for the proposed transaction) will decline to approximately 5x over the
next 12-24 months.
Upward rating movement is unlikely due to event risks related to equity
sponsor ownership. However, an upgrade could be considered
if SeaWorld Parks demonstrates the willingness and ability to sustain
debt-to-EBITDA leverage comfortably below 4.5x (after
factoring in projected future shareholder distributions and other event
risks), maintains a good liquidity profile, and generates
solid and growing cash flow with good park reinvestment.
Downward rating pressure could occur if cash distributions to shareholders,
acquisitions or declines in attendance and earnings driven by competition,
insufficient or ineffective investments or a prolonged economic downturn
result in debt-to-EBITDA above 5.75x. A significant
increase in interest rates, a deterioration in liquidity,
more aggressive financial policies, or if Moody's anticipates
the company will have difficulty refinancing its 2016-2017 maturities
are also factors that could result in a downgrade.
Please see the ratings tab on SeaWorld Parks' issuer page on www.Moodys.com
for the last credit rating action and rating history. Please see
SeaWorld Parks' credit opinion on www.Moodys.com for
additional information on the company's ratings.
SeaWorld Parks' ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that
Moody's considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer,
such as the company's (i) business risk and competitive position compared
with others within the industry; (ii) capital structure and financial
risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to intermediate term;
and (iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk. Moody's
compared these attributes against other issuers both within and outside
SeaWorld Parks' core industry and believes SeaWorld Parks'
ratings are comparable to those of other issuers with similar credit risk.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade
Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009. Please see the Credit Policy page
on www.moodys.com for a copy of these methodologies.
SeaWorld Parks, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, owns
and operates ten amusement parks located in the U.S. Properties
include SeaWorld (Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio), Busch
Gardens (Tampa and Williamsburg) and Sesame Place (Langhorne, PA).
The Blackstone Group (Blackstone) acquired SeaWorld in December 2009 in
a $2.4 billion (including fees) leveraged buyout.
SeaWorld Parks' LTM 9/30/11 revenue was approximately $1.3

The game, which is open to the public, will tip-off at 5 p.m. in the Smith University Center gymnasium. Donations will be accepted from fans attending the game with proceeds going to the Pee Dee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Assault.
The faculty squad will consist of 14 players from departments all across campus, and will be coached by Barry O'Brien, FMU faculty member and brother of current Philadelphia 76ers head coach Jim O'Brien. His squad will consist of Joe Aniello (Business), Bob Barrett (Business), Jeff Camper (Biology), Bill Fox (Mathematics), Derek Jokisch (Health Physics), Ben Kyer (Economics), Andrew Lindsay (History), LeRoy Peterson (Chemistry), Jane Quick (Mathematics), Tim Shannon (Biology), John Sutton (English), Damian Von Frank (Economics), Rusty Ward (Sociology), and David White (Political Science).

Tommy Hilfiger's Central Park Penthouse
1605 Broadway New York City, NY 10019
Interior, exterior and aerial photos page: 1
This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see inside the impeccably designed Manhattan penthouse that Tommy Hilfiger, fashion mogul, just listed for a cool $80 million. Tommy is truly a rags to riches story. Skipping college to pursue his dreams, he went on to start a multi-million dollar fashion brand, named after himself.
The penthouse is situated on top of Plaza Hotel, a swanky Manhattan building. The apartment has amazing views of central park. With a grand decor spotted with pop art and a unique color combination, each room has a different style. The kitchen has a 50's theme, while the dining room is covered in gold and feels victorian in nature.
With some bright and beautiful children's rooms, this penthouse is a rare find and perfect for today's savvy New York family, albeit a very wealthy one.

We couldn't agree more with Fiona Campbell's enthusiasm over Cordoba (A Weekend on the tiles, April 26) but travellers to Cordoba need to beware of one detail in the small print of their guidebooks: some sights are listed as 'closed Mondays'. What this actually means is that these sights close at 3pm on Sunday and do not reopen until 3pm on Tuesday. Even the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos - one of Campbell's recommendations - shuts at 2.30pm on Sunday and reopens at 10am on Tuesday.
Roger and Linda Smither
The Nationalmuseet, a short walk from the centre of Copenhagen, is one of the great museums of the world and definitely worth a visit. Its prehistory collection is particularly good, with the peat bog people being the highlight. Go on a Wednesday - it's free.
Chris Stonehouse
When travelling by plane for a walking/trekking holiday, wear your walking boots on the flight in case your bag gets lost in transit. Most items of clothing are easy to replace but your 'broken in' pair of boots are essential.
Jonny and Jane Edser
In Malta, instead of taking the passenger ferry to Gozo from Cirkkewa, take the cargo ferry from Sa Maison (Sliema). You get a great view of the coastline round the islands and it's not as expensive. Timetables can be found at gozochannel.com.

The Sunday Macaroni Club: A Novel
by Steve Lopez
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An interesting novel set amid the political shenanigans around local elections in Philadelphia, set against the backdrop of fear following a leakage from a local chemical plant.
Assistant DA Lisa Savitch has recently moved down to Philadelphia after her personal and professional lives in her native Boston collided in a rather horrendous way. Being new to the city she is assigned to a far-reaching investigation of local political corruptions, centred around former Senator (and ex-con) Augie Sangiamino, renowned for his role as a fixer. In alternating chapters Savitch's investigation is contrasted with the chicanery behind Sangiamino's latest campaign to try to elevate two cronies to local office.
The format works fairly well though the novel is far too long for this device to be sustained effectively. The denouement is clever, but I really felt that I had lost interest by the time I limped through to the end.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0151002649, Hardcover)
"It's a city of bottom feeders. With no bottom." Assistant District Attorney Lisa Savitch has a problem. Her boss wants her to nail the Sunday Macaroni Club-five remnants of the old political machine led by Augie Sangiamino, a former U.S. Senator with a conviction for fraud, now a political consultant. Why are these has-beens so important when there are children in Philadelphia dying of leukemia in the vicinity of an oil refinery? As for Augie, it's like he says at grace on Sunday: "We thank you, Lord, for this wonderful macaroni dinner. But we could use a little help, to tell you the truth, in this campaign." His two candidates are way behind in the polls, and he needs a miracle, divine or otherwise, to reverse the trend. Miracles, of course, cost money, and that's where the Sunday Macaroni Club dives into a glorious-and usually hilarious-carnival of greed, ambition, and self-preservation. Its hoorifying politics are democracy in America, and few people understand those better than Steve Lopez or have more fun painting them large. The characters of The Sunday Macaroni Club spill off the page with a furious energy and unexpected decency-by turns appalling, alluring, and endearing, they are altogether unforgettable.

Assistant District Attorney Lisa Savitch has a problem. She's been assigned to nail the Sunday Macaroni Club - four remnants of the old political machine led by Augie Sangiamino, former U.S. Senator, convicted felon, and now a "political consultant." These guys aren't even worth a staple, much less a nail. As for Augie, it's like he says at grace on Sunday: "We thank you, Lord, for this wonderful macaroni dinner. But we could use a little help, to tell you the truth, in this campaign." His two candidates are way behind in the polls, and without a miracle, divine or otherwise, there doesn't seem to be any way to reverse the trend. Miracles, of course, cost money. Whitney Pritchard III also has a problem - his oil company is belching clouds of yellow smoke, and paying all those fines hasn't done him much good. What he needs are some friends in high, or even not so high, places.Then there's Mike Muldoon, the ex-FBI agent who nailed Augie once and would be happy to do it again. He doesn't really have a problem - unless you count the fact that he can't stop thinking about Lisa Savitch. It's a city where macaroni isn't necessarily macaroni, bottom-feeders can rise to the top, and has-beens don't always know they've been had - Philadelphia's own glorious carnival of greed, ambition, and self-preservation.… (more)

A lot of us are still recovering from the inaugural year of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival. We got the chance to run around like chickens with our heads cut off to screenings all over town, stand in lines for hours and rub elbows with the semi-rich and sort of famous, all while seeing some great films that may or may not make it to Dallas theaters. It made us feel special, like we had a golden ticket to the world of film, if only for a week. With all of the hoopla surrounding AFI Dallas, it's easy to forget that Dallas has been a festival city for a whilewe get these chances every year, even if we don't always take advantage of them. The USA Film Festival, now entering its 37th year, is already upon us, bringing more than 75 features and shorts to the Angelika Film Center, 5321 Mockingbird Lane. Though not as high profile (there aren't any poolside chats at the W or parties at Ghostbar on the schedule for these guys), the USA Film Festival is still a must for any cinephile. Highlights include the always popular Short Film and Video Competition (whose winners will screen at 7 p.m. Sunday), William Friedkin's paranoid thriller Bug and Waitress, the final film by writer/director/actress Adrienne Shelly, staring Keri Russell, Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines, who will be in attendance. The USA Film Festival runs through Thursday, April 26. Tickets are $8 per movie, $7 for festival members. Call 214-821-FILM or visit usafilmfestival.com.

"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"I chose this birth announcement for its classic qualities. It complimented our newborns picture and the text size, color and font were perfect accents. Easy to make and love being able to see the finished product. Paper was heavy and sturdy. We have received several compliments on this announcement."
"I was underwhelmed by my selection but the one I chose came out nicely. I just wish there was an option to move the text on the card."
"My boyfriend and I chose this card for our sons baby announcement. The quality of product is well worth the money! Made ordering through them easy and making the cards even more easy! Will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks tiny prints!!"
"Excellent product and stunning design! This was easy to customize. Delivery was prompt and we were wowed by the finished product."

Celebrate Diwali in India: While most festivals in India are local affairs, celebrated only in certain regions, Diwali truly unifies the country and is celebrated all over India as well as in Indian communities across the world. Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness, which symbolises the triumph of good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. The myths and legends that surround the festival vary according to the part of India in which you find yourself, but what dominates proceedings is an affirmation of hope, a general sense of bonhomie and goodwill. There's loads of fireworks, sweets & presents are exchanged and traditional 'diya' lamps are lit in the evenings.

India tour reviews
Scoring an average traveller rating of 4.66 out of 5 based on 166 recent reviews — See All India Reviews
The tour was very well organised and had all the elements to get a true feel of the country.
We were able to learn a lot from the guides who were always ready and willing to help.
Would have liked a little more free time and a little less shopping stops but a part from that the tour was perfect. The group was multi cultural and all great people. We all had a fun time together."
It is so hard to exactly say one highlight of our trip. Our guide Vansh was definitely a highlight he had so much knowledge of everywhere we visited. He also made sure we were always happy, comfortable and had everything we needed. The sites were just incredible. Visiting the school was such a humbling experience. The Havalis we stayed in were so beautiful. And the everyone we met along the way. Much love for the whole experience."
Yusef was amazing! He was so very informed about all the tour sites and the in and outs of everyday living in India. He was always taking care of our needs and went above and beyond when someone was in need, be it medical needs or bargaining with the locals."

India Map
Recommended places to visit in India
India is as diverse as it is vast, with traditions, local culture and cuisine varying considerably from region to region. Compiling a 'best of' is no easy feat, but to get you going with planning your trip, here's a few of our favourite places to visit:
Darjeeling - Tea CentralView on map
A perfect spot to sip your daily cuppa and with tea plantations aplenty, Darjeeling sits at an altitude of 2,200 metres with a backdrop of mighty snow-clad Himalayan peaks. A visit to the nearby Ghoom monastery is a must and there's plenty of of fabulous trekking in the surrounding area too.
Agra - Home of the Taj MahalView on map
An absolute must-see for a first time visit to India and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the incredible Taj Mahal in Agra will probably lure you back to India again in no time at all! Try our Taj Traveller trip which includes a day in Agra visiting both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
The Golden Temple - AmritsarView on map
As the spiritual and cultural centre of the Sikh religion, Amritsar is home to Harimandir Sahib, better known in the West as The Golden Temple. Constructed of white marble, bronze and gold leaf, the Golden Temple looks absolutely stunning at night and a must-see. The local food from Amritsar is renowned too and be sure not to miss the colourful daily Goodnight Ceremony, also known as the Wagah-Attari Border retreat
Ranthambhore - Tiger Country!View on map
There's an abundance of wildlife at Ranthambhore and if you're lucky you might spot a tiger or two. It's also home to the impressive 10th century Ranthambhore Fort, a top location for bird watching. Consider our Shere Khan trip for a couple of relaxing days at Ranthambhore after taking in the key sites of India's North.
Varanasi - The Holy CityView on map
Set on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is considered the holiest of places in India and has been a centre of learning and civilization for over 2000 years. Visiting Varanasi can be an assault on the senses, but it's certainly rewarding and you'll definitely feel like you've truly seen India. Don't miss out on a sunrise boat ride down the Ganges.
Jaipur - The Pink CityView on map
With 18th century Jantar Mantar, an impressive City Palace complex and the lofty Amber fort, there's good reason why Jaipur forms the third point (after Delhi and Agra) on India's famed Golden Triangle. Jaipur has a vibrant city market too, a top spot to spend a few hours late afternoon after a day exploring the cities sites.
Udaipur - The Lake CityView on map
One of Rajasthan's gems, the city of lakes, Udaipur is a firm favourite for travellers to India. Highlights include the famous lake side City Palace, the 18th century haveli museum of Bagore-ki-haveli, and the impressive Monsoon Palace perched hillside overlooking the lake. A boat ride for lunch at the exquisite Taj Lake Palace is a real highlight too.
Kerala - The Beautiful SouthView on map
Visit Kerala's quaint and historic capital Kochi, spend a day on a rice boat on tranquil backwaters, head to hilly tea plantations at Munnar, discover wildlife at Periyar and top your holiday off at one of Kerala's laid back beaches on the Arabian Sea.
