Karen Dacre reports on her Paris highlights so far Tuesday 5 March 2013 11:27 GMT Click to followThe Evening Standard French twist: Paris Fashion Week highlights 8 show all French twist: Paris Fashion Week highlights 1/8 Star looks from Paris Fashion Week 2/8 Rose print at Givenchy Having wised up to the commercial benefits of including a crowd-pleaser in each of his collections, Riccardo Tisci opened his show with a black slouchy sweatshirt detailed with a Bambi motif. What followed will undoubtedly prove more troublesome to wear. Imagining gypsies and Victorian romanticism, Tisci jarred flowing lace skirts with printed Puffa jackets and Madonna printed velvet. The result was Gypsy Rose Lee meets goth glamour. Diehard fans of the label will love it. 3/8 Voluminous coats at Christian Dior Raf Simons showcased a confident collection in which his signature cool, clean aesthetic was carefully whisked with Dior's tried-and-tested codes. Beautifully crafted A-line coats gave this collection a solid foundation and allowed Simons to demonstrate his masterful skill as a tailor. Strapless dresses in houndstooth were layered with swathes of sheer silk in contrasting shades for a surprisingly modern effect. Andy Warhol's iconic Unidentified Female sketches found a home on bags and on silk gowns. 4/8 Crackled textures at Balenciaga Alexander Wang's debut collection respectfully celebrated Balenciaga's affection for conceptual luxury. Riffing on minimalism, the designer teamed perfectly cut black trousers in velvet and crisp cotton with cocooned bomber jackets and draped silk shirts. Texture played a prominent role. Knitwear lacquered to look like cracked leather was used to create pencil skirts and structured tops with turtle necks and long sleeves, while intarsia fur jackets — bursting with volume — hosted a camouflage motif. 5/8 Basket weave at Céline Phoebe Philo said she thought a lot about instinct while creating this collection, which is appropriate because this was a demonstration of her intrinsic ability to create clothes women really want to wear. Moving on her signature minimalist aesthetic, Philo incorporated texture. Neoprene, mohair and flannel were combined to create a 3D offering that is best viewed up close. Woven fabrics, echoing those of laundry bags, also ensured that this collection was one of the best unveiled this week. 6/8 Effortless elegance at Lanvin Undone, sumptuous and sexy. Alber Elbaz's vision for autumn/winter saw oversized blazers layered over lightweight satin dresses for a relaxed, thrown-together effect. Oversized floral prints gave extra feminine detail to A-line dresses. Putting emphasis on the importance of individuality — rarely seen in a catwalk show — each model sported a unique make-up look, tailored to her personal needs. The effect was a collection that translated as effortless, elegant and approachable. 7/8 Sheepskin at Loewe Revered for its artisan approach, Spanish Loewe is all about luxurious leather. But autumn/winter sees creative director Stuart Vevers experiment with wool. Heavy duty shearling coats were this collection's pièce de résistance. In shades of black, cream and blood red, some featured large leather buckle fastenings, while others were thrown over buffed leather pencil skirts. Knee high-socks held up with suspenders lent the show a sense of playfulness. 8/8 Teen spirit at Saint Laurent Should not buying any clothes be your plan for next season, Hedi Slimane has the answer. Showcasing his second womenswear offering for Saint Laurent, the designer went big on Nineties grunge with a collection that seemed to mirror the existing components of a twentysomething's wardrobe. Peter Pan-collared dresses were worn under Kurt Cobain cardigans, while oversized plaid shirts and heavy duty biker boots also featured. It was Camden market chic without the affordable price tags.

Papal canonizations a lesson in subtle art of Catholic politics
By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor
(Reuters) - When the late Popes John XXIII and John Paul II are declared saints on Sunday, the Vatican ceremony will be both a spiritual event for Roman Catholicism and a lesson in the subtle politics of the world's largest church.
Most of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics will generally agree that these two men, in their own ways, were holy and charismatic pastors who helped their 2,000-year-old Church to confront the challenges of the modern era.
When it comes to details, though, opinions will diverge. The debates are long and complex, but the popular notion of John as a liberal champion and John Paul as a conservative stalwart gives a rough outline of how they are seen.
As such, they symbolize two groups in the Catholic Church that have disagreed for decades, sometimes bitterly, over how to interpret the results of the reforming Second Vatican Council of 1962-1965 that John launched and John Paul largely implemented.
By canonizing both, Argentine-born Pope Francis will be using the symbolism of unity to urge Catholics to look beyond these divisions to join together in following the Gospel.
"These two popes represent different wings of the Church," said Ashley McGuire of the Catholic Association, a Washington-based lay group that defends Catholic views on public issues.
"Unity is a big theme of Pope Francis's papacy. He's saying we're all Catholics, we're on a common journey together."

My 95 OBDI Jetta has a funny throttle response during shifting. Under acceleration, when I take my foot off the gas pedal and push the clutch in it revs higher by a few hundred rpm. Also, if I take my foot of the gas and leave the clutch engaged, there's about a one second delay before I sense deceleration. I checked the butterfly on the throttle body and it moves quite freely.
Any ideas what would cause this?

NCache For Azure
NCache for Azure is an extremely fast and scalable Microsoft Azure distributed cache that removes performance bottlenecks in Microsoft Azure application which are related to data storage and databases. NCache for Azure lets you cache your application data and store ASP.NET Session State and ASP.NET View State for .NET applications deployed in Microsoft Azure.
This NCache for Azure NuGet package provides NCache client libraries and configurations for using NCache for Azure in object caching and ASP.NET Session State and ASP.NET View State caching to build applications that can target NCache for Azure distributed cache running on Azure Virtual Machines
This NuGet package can only be used with .NET 4.0 and higher.
To install NCache For Azure, run the following command in the Package Manager Console
Install-Package Alachisoft.NCacheforAzure.Caching
-Version 184.108.40.206
Release Notes
- Support for remote clients on a different network
NCache for Azure clients from a different or remote network can now also access the cache which exists on a different network. To achieve this just add the following two tags in 'Alachisoft.NCache.Service.exe.config' files at the cache server nodes.
<add key="NCacheServer.MgmtEndPoint" value="public-ip:public-port" />
<add key="NCacheServer.ServerEndPoint" value="public-ip:public-port" />
Where the public-ip is IP-address which is exposed outside the network and public-port is the port which is accessible outside of the network.
- Client caches can be configured from outside of cache cluster network
Client caches can now be configured from outside the cache cluster network using command line tools e.g. CreateClientCache, AddClientNode etc.
- Server mapping can be updated using updateendpoint.exe command line tool
Any client outside the network can communicate to other clients directly using the update endpoint tool. Update endpoint tool updates the server mapping of the IPs and ports of all the cache servers or clients, whether inside or outside the network.
- Outproc client caches be used outside of the network using NCache for Azure NuGet package
Previously outproc client cache cannot exist in a Microsoft Azure Web Role. Now using NCache for Azure NuGet package outproc client caches can be created even outside the network.

9 month old with one knee larger than the other
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this. Yesterday we had our pup at the vet for a check up and had her check out his legs while there. She pointed out that the knee on his right hind leg was noticeably larger than the left one and that concerned her. When you grab hold of one, then the other, you can definitely tell. He doesn't yelp or act any different when you do that, He hasn't been limping, and has never been injured. He is somewhat cow hocked but that has been improving as he gets older, though she said she didn't like that either. He will be getting neutered in a couple of weeks and she is going to do x-rays then. Until then, I'll just worry, but wanted to see if anyone has come across his before. Thanks for any replies.
If he has growth issues I would hold off on the neutering until you know the final outcome of his knees. Has he ever fallen on that knee? Consider X rays to get to the bottom of this while he is still young.
not something i have ever seen.
the first place i would start looking for answers is an ortho vet as they would want to take their xrays.
I too would hold off on neutering, as neutering before sexual maturity affects growth plate closure and overall limb structure. I dont feel a dog should be neutered before at least a year old, but especially if there is some kind of joint concern.
I would just get the xrays now, and make sure they're sent off to be read by a radiologist, most clinics do that automatically.
I agree with holding off on the neutering until his skeletal structure is mature. I feel this is especially important with a possible issue with that knee.
as a general rule unless your gsd is a king size or shiloh or extra large the growth plates are going to close at sexual maturity
which is usually around 9-12 mos
look here
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
if puberty is starting at 9mos then another 3 mos is not going to matter much either way
i love you guys passion but making owners feel guilty about their own choices with their own dogs is going too far
i doubt you are buying its food for them?

Top Restaurant Closings of 2012 in Miami
Michelle Bernstein's Sra. Martinez shuttered its doors this year
Gio Alma
In 2012, many notable eateries closed up shop. In some cases, we shed a tear as we watched them go. In others, well, our bets had been placed for quite a while. (Sustain Restaurant & Bar was just a few sad, happy hours away from my late-April wager.)
This past year, most losses were felt in the Design District/Midtown area. But, just as quickly as those joints were gone, new projects came along and took their place.
So, here is our list of the top five restaurants that bit the dust in 2012. These are the eateries that will be missed the most. As a bonus, we also included updates, like what's up ahead for the toques that once led the show.

In February, Mai Tardi closed its pizza oven and outdoor bar after a lease buyout from Dacra Group -- the real estate development group spearheaded by Craig Robins. Dacra was gearing up for significant construction work, as the nascent Design District continued on its significant growth. In response, Mai Tardi held a blow-out closing party and moved on. The eatery was owned by the Graspa Group, the same folks behind Salumeria 104, Tiramesu, Spris, Segafredo, Soyka, and Van Dyke Cafe.Next Page

Seeing Clearly in the Face of Muslim Rage
- Hugh Hewitt Beyond the News
- 2006 10 Feb
February 10, 2006
As the controversy swirls around the provocative Danish newspaper cartoons that so many Muslims deem deeply offensive, it is important to keep two principles up front:
First, a free press means a press free to offend. Christians in the West know this from long experience, and Muslims must come to understand that the West will never abandon the protection it gives newspapers and other media to trade in provocation.
Second, defending the right to publish does not mean endorsing the actual content. Some of the cartoons are easily seen as vulgar and stupid, and mocking religious beliefs is a sad legacy of the secular elites' rise in the latter part of the 20th century. We will always defend the right of the churlish to be that way, but we will also be careful to point out that low is not high, and that the repulsive is not art or even journalism.
Beyond The News Commentaries, produced daily by Salem Communications, bring concise and penetrating insight to everything from the current headlines to challenges facing the church, from our culture wars to the Middle East conflict and from Hollywood to Washington, D.C. These daily features cover politics, culture, religion and science with perspective from the sharpest minds in the Christian and conservative world today: David Aikman, Terry Eastland, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, Albert Mohler, Dennis Prager and Janet Parshall.

Michael Witherell
Berkeley Lab Director
Phone: (510) 486-5111
Location: 50A-4133 | Mail Stop: 50A-4119
Michael Witherell is a leading physicist with a highly distinguished career in teaching, research and managing complex organizations. He has received numerous honors and recognitions for his scientific contributions and achievements. Witherell is the former director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in northern Illinois and last held the Presidential Chair in Physics at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he was also vice chancellor for research. He was named director of Berkeley Lab by the UC Board of Regents in January, 2016.
Witherell went to UCSB in 1981 as an assistant professor of physics from Princeton University. Soon after joining UCSB, he led a Fermilab experiment that collected and studied the first large sample of charmed particles observed with a silicon microstrip vertex detector. As a result of that experiment, Witherell was awarded the W. K. H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics from the American Physical Society in 1990.
In 1999 Witherell was appointed director of Fermilab, the DOE laboratory dedicated to high-energy physics. During his six years as director, Fermilab upgraded the Tevatron accelerator complex, the highest-energy collider then operating. The laboratory also completed a $150 million project to build a long-baseline neutrino facility, which sent a beam of neutrinos 450 miles underground to a detector built at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota.
In 2005 Witherell rejoined the UC Santa Barbara faculty as vice chancellor for research, where he manages research administration and technology commercialization. He also supervises interdisciplinary research institutes in marine science, earth science, neuroscience, social sciences and ethnic studies, in addition to the California Nanosystems Institute and six sites of the UC Natural Reserve System.
In 2010, while continuing as UCSB vice chancellor for research, Witherell returned to conducting research on the nature of dark matter. He joined the LUX collaboration, which completed the most sensitive search for interactions of dark matter particles with normal matter.
Witherell is also part of an international research team that designed the LUX-Zeplin (LZ) project, an experiment that will be three orders of magnitude more sensitive than LUX. In 2014 the LZ project was selected as the largest next-generation dark matter experiment in the DOE's High Energy Physics program.
Witherell is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He currently chairs the Board on Physics and Astronomy at the National Academies; sits on the Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy at the National Academies; is a member of the American Physical Society's Physics Policy Committee; and, serves on the Board of Directors for Science for Nature and People. Witherell is the 2004 recipient of the Energy Secretary's Gold Award.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1973 and his B.S. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1968.

October 2011 Prayer and Reflection
From the October 2011 cover of Living with Christ
By Living with Christ Staff
In 1888, after filling many canvases with images of the summer harvest in Provence, Dutch post- Impressionist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) turned his attention to the vineyards of the region. Believed to be the only painting he sold during his lifetime, Red Vineyards at Arles is a wonderful example of his shift to the arbitrary use of color to express mood.
As peasants—mostly women—labor in the vineyard harvesting the grapes, a radiant sun pulsates with its life-giving energy. Broad brushstrokes portray the workers in dark tones, while the red vines, yellow sky, and shimmering yellow-blue road brighten the scene. Although the mood may seem a bit somber in the foreground, as we move back toward the gracious sun the mood lightens, suggesting the brighter day ahead.
This month's cover invites us to consider how God sees "vineyards"—the vineyards of our hearts, of our labors, of our Church.
If you wish, sit quietly with the picture, and reflect on the following questions:
- What gifts have I been given for use in the vineyard of the Church?
- Where in God's vineyard am I being called to labor?
- How have I experienced God's "sun" as I labor?
- How might God want to harvest the fruit that grows in the vineyard of my own heart?

Manchester United manager David Moyes has urged fans of the club not to expect big money players to be arriving at Old Trafford this month.
The Red Devils have been linked with a host of players from all across Europe in recent weeks, with the Scot and his assistants having been on various scouting missions.
Their actions have been sparked by a difficult opening half of the season which has seen the defending champions slip out of this year's Premier League title race and the FA Cup, allied to a failure to land a number of top targets over the summer.
Moyes says that he is keen to bring in one or two new players this month in a bid to strengthen, but he also warned followers of the club not to get their hopes up:
"As I have said many times, it is not a particularly good month to buy players." He told Sky Sports.
"I would hate to get people's hopes up and end up with nobody. In the same breath we are certainly not sitting back and doing nothing, that's for sure.
"If we could pick up one or two players in this window we said we would try and do it."
United have been linked with Atletico Madrid's Koke, Fabio Coentrao of Real Madrid and German pair Ilkay Gundogan and Marco Reus – who both play for Borussia Dortmund – among others.

Original post
A growing furor over proposed changes to the California Public Records Act is threatening to undo this month's relatively smooth budget negotiations.
Responding to criticism that the changes would substantially weaken California's open records laws, Assembly Speaker John Perez announced the lower chamber would vote Thursday morning on a measure identical to the bill it passed last week, but not including the section dealing with open records. "To be clear, this means that the California Public Records Act will remain intact without any changes as part of the budget – consistent with the Assembly's original action," Pérez said in a statement.
But the Senate isn't budging. President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg says the Senate won't vote on that new bill unless he sees evidence local governments are opting out of the public records requirements. Steinberg says the issue isn't public records. It's the fact the state is constitutionally required to pay for those local actions. "Unless the local governments are violating the law," he told reporters, the state should not be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars to pay them for what they should be doing."
Steinberg said that instead of a revote, a constitutional amendment would be introduced in the state Senate Thursday, "which will require permanent restoration of all California Public Records Act mandates in the state budget, and require that all local government entities pay for those services of providing public access to local government records."
If that measure passes, the issue would go before the voters.
What's this all about? As we've been reporting today, the proposed Public Records Act changes were included in one of the so-called trailer bills that lawmakers passed alongside the state budget last week. The bill removed the mandatory requirement that local governments respond to requests for documents within 10 days, provide electronic versions of records when available, and provide assistance to records-seekers who aren't quite sure what they're looking for. (For instance, if your town has an Excel spreadsheet of employee salaries that's subject to disclosure and you ask for that information, the town is obligated to provide it to you.) Such compliance under the bill would have been optional, redefined as "best practices."
After the bill was signed, various mayors, including San Francisco's Ed Lee, said local governments would continue to comply with the law. But First Amendment and open government advocates have been livid, and newspapers published editorials opposing the change, saying the law had been eviscerated. Journalists who rely on the law as an investigatory tool have also been highly critical.
News10 Sacramento's John Myers addressed in a blog post the suggestion that the weakening of the Public Records Act was a stealth measure …
The fracas in recent days included accusations that lawmakers were trying to hide the change in how the state's public records law is carried out with a stealth and last minute plot.
Not true.
Brown actually made the proposal more than five months ago in his January budget, one of several state funded mandates that he suggested be scrapped.
Legislators discussed the PRA mandate in budget committees, the Legislature's analysts released a report on the plan on May 31, and then a budget conference committee voted unanimously to make PRA provisions optional (and thus, save the state money) on June 10.
The real truth is that while some noticed the proposal early, the vast majority of political and government journalists didn't notice it until last week, focused instead on bigger budget fights.
Update Thursday 10 a.m.
Assembly votes 52-25 to modify budget trailer bill to eliminate provisions weakening #CPRA. Senate leaders say they won't act on bill now.

"This is my 2nd canvas print ordered from Tiny prints. I was so pleased with the quality of the 1st that I would never order elsewhwhere. The second photo turned out amazing. I captured my pregnancy and a picture of my son"
"I ordered several copies of my son during him first week & was able to put his full name at the bottom. It looks so sweet! They were gifts for the grandparents & our home & everyone just loves them! I wish they were available with more phrases or that was customizable as well. Absolutely just love them!"
"This was THE EASIEST, most pain-free process ever! From choosing the product to uploading the design, it doesn't get any simpler. Our picture canvas is amazing - beautiful! It's absolutely perfect. We chose a black and white color option. The picture print is incredible. We have received so many compliments and we literally can't stop looking at it!"
"Shipped to us very quickly in sturdy packaging. The metal print is of the highest quality. Hangs beautifully on our daughter's wall."
"I was reluctant to enlarge to 20x16 since I was unfamiliar with the printing process. Plus I had read that someone was happy with the outcome of a card, but not the enlarged canvas with the same print. However, I had taken this particular photo on an SLR with a telephoto lens, so I knew it was a quality shot. Also, Tiny Prints assured me I could return it if I wasn't 100% satisfied. So I took a chance. It arrived in 2 days, & it's absolutely beautiful! The color & detail came out perfectly clear, down to every last drop of water spilling off an ocean wave! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enlarge a favorite memory. The canvas truly makes my photo a piece of art!"

Power steering leak
Noticed I have a power steering leak coming from the boot on the driver side and wondering if they make replacement boots or anything and how hard of a job it is
Also my jeep is an 07 3.7l
Re: Power steering leak
I'm afraid in most circumstances replacing the boot isn't going to help.
The boot is not intended to hold power steering fluid in, so if you have a leak it is likely coming from a seal in the rack itself...which means a replacement or rebuild is the only way to repair.
Replacing the rack is not for the faint of heart...it's a relatively big job and working the rack out takes a bit of wizardy/contortionism. I believe there is a how-to floating around here that talks about the specifics, but I would not recommend unless you have a lift and a lot of confidence.

Attackers 'linked to al-Qaeda' a year before 9/11
Page Tools
A year before the September 11 attacks, Mohammed Atta and three other bombers had been identified as likely members of a cell of the al-Qaeda network operating in the US by a military intelligence team that recommended sharing the information with the FBI, The New York Times said today.
The recommendation from the intelligence unit, known as Able Danger, was rejected in part because the four suspects had valid entry visas, a former defence intelligence official and a Republican lawmaker Curt Weldon told the paper.
Under US law, US citizens and residents may not be singled out in intelligence-collection operations, Weldon and the intelligence official said.
But while the measure did not include visa holders, Atta and his three colleagues were extended that protection because of pre 9/11 discomfort at sharing intelligence information with a law enforcement agency.
The account, which Weldon said he based on assertions by three former intelligence officers with knowledge of Able Danger, is the first time Atta was identified by any US agency as a potential threat before the September 11 attacks, the daily said.
The former intelligence defence officer, who asked not to be identified, told the daily that Able Danger was formed in 1999 to assemble information about al-Qaeda networks around the world.
"Ultimately, Able Danger was going to give decision-makers options for taking out al-Qaeda targets," the former official said.
Meanwhile, by a record 57-34 per cent margin, most Americans believe the Iraq war has made their country more vulnerable to terrorist attacks, according to a poll published on Tuesday.
And by a 56-41 per cent margin, Americans believe some or all US troops should be withdrawn from Iraq - a record 33 per cent said all troops should be pulled out, according to the USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll.
By a 54-44 per cent margin, the 1004 adults polled by telephone August 5-7 said the Iraq War was a mistake and by a 56-43 per cent margin, they felt the war was going badly.
The survey, which had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, found that President George Bush's approval rating was 45 per cent - one point higher than his lowest score - and his disapproval rating 51 per cent.

I am writing a cheerful addendum to a post that I wrote back on October 15, 2007 called "Harvest". I have been blogging since last June and I am drawing spatially closer to my 200th post with a pace that astonishes me! Anyway, I digress. In the aforementioned post, I illuminated the principles of giving, basically stating that we cannot out-give God!
I will get to the cheerful part in a moment, but first let me set the stage. In my August 6, 2007 post, From Here to There, I shared in depth about my family's financial challenges. I'll be honest, life has sometimes seemed like a "trudgery"! Yet, much like trudging through the deep snows of winter, with Christ, the hope of spring delivers us onto the awakening soil of renewal.
Recently, we learned that Barry's boss is secretly selling his business and doesn't want to my husband to know. Most likely, his boss is doing this out of fear of losing Barry prematurely and not wanting a customer fallout. It's fair to say that this is selfish, especially considering that Barry's boss is paying him a pittance of what was promised. In addition, his boss decided not to pay Barry for the month of February; a long story, but a reality.
So, here we were with this recent revelation 2 days before rent was due. We had no other recourse but to trust God. On the due date, we went to church and Barry gave his last $60.00 into the offering. Before leaving church that evening, a dear couple felt led to give us $400.00. The following day, my aunt sent me a belated Birthday check of $50.00. In the meantime, eviction papers were served to us, giving us until Friday the 8th to pay or quit.
On, the morning of the 8th, I was scheduled to lead Worship at a breakfast meeting. The Lord brought back to my memory the recent message that our retreat speaker had exhorted us with. I began to say aloud, "The facts are these: rent is due today, we don't have the money, and we're scheduled for eviction. The truth is this: God owns the cattle on a thousand hills; He will never leave us or forsake us; He will supply all of our needs according to His riches in Glory; and Luke 6:38 (NKJ) "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." Facts don't set us free; the Truth sets us free.
While leading Worship at the meeting, I encouraged the audience with what I had rehearsed in my spirit. Barry arrived towards the end of the meeting to receive some prayer. A gentleman approached us with his checkbook and told us that he felt directed to pay our rent. He wrote out a $2500.00 check (more than what we owed) and gave it to us! Two other precious ladies slipped checks into my hands for $300.00 and $25.00, and another dear soul gave me a $5.00 bill, apologizing for the amount. That $5.00 bill was gold to us!
We paid our rent as well as another obligation. In a span of 3 days our "facts" were resurrected by "Truth"!

Thais smile through gritted teeth for China's tourists
By Amy Sawitta Lefevre
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Drying underwear at a temple and defecating in public, kicking a bell at a sacred shrine and washing feet in a public restroom: that's a sample from a litany of complaints about the behavior of Chinese tourists in Thailand.
Public outrage forced the Thai government to issue thousands of Chinese-language etiquette manuals last month in an effort to ensure sightseers behave themselves.
Feathers were ruffled anew in March when a Thai model posted a video on Facebook accusing Chinese tourists of jumping the line at an airport, prompting heated debate from Thai and Chinese bloggers.
But with Thailand struggling to revive a stagnant economy after a military coup ended months of political unrest last year, tour operators in the 'Land of Smiles' say they have no choice but to grin and bear it.
Tourism accounts for nearly 10 percent of the country's economic output and Chinese holidaymakers are Thailand's largest group of overseas visitors.
It is not just Chinese tourists that Thailand is wooing: China is a top trading partner. The government has sought to strengthen ties with Beijing since some Western countries downgraded diplomatic ties when the military seized power last year.
Raising revenue from tourism is a government priority to compensate for weak exports, said Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd, the country's deputy government spokesman.
Thailand, therefore, has to tolerate bad behavior for the sake of its vital tourist industry, he said. Continued...

BROOKLYN — Thoughts on a 66-53 in over Georgia: I. Here's the reality of this one: Yes, it was ugly for the first 30 or so minutes, but Indiana's final offensive surge to end the game made it respectable. The Hoosiers ended up shooting 51.5% on 2s and after starting out just 1-of-12 on 3-pointers, four late ones had them at 5-of-16 for the night (31.3%). That adds up to a 50 eFG%. Not great, but after starting just 8-of-25 from the floor in the first half, it was somewhat of a return to center. They also managed 1.03 points per possession, which is a little better than the traditional average output of 1.0 for a college basketball team. Having said that: This was generally one that was hard to watch. Indiana had spacing and ball movement issues along with the poor shooting, and fouls ran rampant early. Jordan Hulls, Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo all had two early and Georgia was in the bonus by the 8:06 mark in the first half. The Bulldogs didn't look much better during the same t...

Redknapp upbeat after heart op
Football manager Harry Redknapp could be back at work in days after successfully undergoing a heart procedure to unblock coronary arteries.
Redknapp is in "excellent spirits" and is due to be discharged from hospital in the next 48 hours, according to his club Tottenham Hotspur.
The 64-year-old had two stents inserted into arteries to improve blood flow from the heart.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "We are delighted the operation went so smoothly and successfully.
"Knowing Harry he will want to rush back, but it's important that he only does so when he has recovered properly."
Levy said Redknapp had asked for his thanks to be passed to fans who had sent goodwill messages.
Spurs commented after earlier confirming Redknapp was ruled out of the team's trip to Russia's Rubin Kazan this week because of the procedure.
Experts said the most likely treatment was a coronary angioplasty which is usually complete within an hour.
The angioplasty improves blood flow when arteries become clogged with fatty plaque - caused by high cholesterol, high blood pressure, poor diet or the two main risks, obesity and smoking.
The procedure, developed in the 1980s and mainstream by the 1990s, is known for its high success rate and enabling the patient to quickly return to work and normal life.

UPDATE: complaint against Cascade Bicycle Club dismissed
Citizens Against Raising Car Tabs group claims taxpayer funds are improperly used for the Streets for All campaign
UPDATE: Compliant dismissed.
The complaint filed against Cascade Bicycle Club by Gene Hoglund on behalf of Citizens Against Raising Car Tabs was dismissed by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission today.
Hoglund filed a complain with the SEEC earlier this week claiming that Cascade Bicycle Club and Transportation Choices Coalition improperly used taxpayer funds to substantially underwrite Streets For All Seattle and that the groups used hundreds of thousands of city dollars for the Prop 1 campaign.
"It really was a frivolous waste of taxpayers' money. [The opposition] had absolutely no foundation in facts or reality."" said Craig Benjamin,
Policy and Government Affairs Manager at Cascade Bicycle Club.
"By filing frivolous complaints like this, our opposition shows they are grasping at straws because their position has so little substance. This is a distraction technique," wrote M.L. Kelly on the Cascade Bicycle Club blog.
Previous article:
At the request of the Citizens Against Raising Car Tabs the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission (SEEC) is investigating the contributors report of the Seattle Streets Campaign, a campaign promoting Seattle Prop 1 for $60 car tabs.
The Citizens against Raising Car Tabs claim that Cascade Bicycle Club and Transportation Choices Coalition improperly used taxpayer funds to substantially underwrite Streets For All Seattle.
The group says that Transportation Choices and the Cascade Bicycle Club have received hundreds of thousands of city dollars for the Prop 1 campaign and requested an investigation of ethics violations.
Read the Streets For All Seattle SEEC List of Contributors Report, here.
In return, Cascade Bicycle Club says the investigation is "a frivolous waste of taxpayer money".
"We are very confident that it will be dismissed shortly," said Craig Benjamin,
Policy and Government Affairs Manager at Cascade Bicycle Club.
"The opposition continues to do everything they can to avoid talking about what Proposition 1 actually does and how it will benefit Seattle and instead are running a campaign based on deception and misleading negative attacks."
Cascade Bicycle Club has been contracted by the city to perform services related to education of youth, safety and outreach to neighborhoods, distribution of helmets, safety classes for adults, summer programs for disadvantaged youth, and safety improvements around schools.
"Clearly our opposition doesn't know how our organization works," Benjamin said. "Much of our political work happens through our c4 organization, while our education work occurs within our c3. For tax and legal purposes, there's we are very careful to make sure that there is no connection between any of the contractual work and our work in support of Proposition 1."
Benjamin said that most, if not all, of the contract money mentioned in the complaint was spent well before Proposition 1 got on the ballot. And, the money donated to Prop 1 came from Bike PAC, which is funded through individual private donations.
"We are disappointed in our opposition and look forward to continuing the conversation with voters about how Proposition 1 will make our transit faster and our streets safer," Benjamin said.

Nest Hostels recommend you this blog: Nothemingwaysspain by an American expat and historian married to a Spaniard. It's maybe one of the best blog about Valencia, and we took it this funny article about the tipical product of Valencia: "Paella Valenciana: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"
As I've mentioned in a previous blog entry, I've grown to acquire the Valencians' sense of pride as well as profound irritation with all the misunderstanding out there surrounding this region's signature rice dishes, and above all,paella valenciana. I recently contributed a series of entries on my mother-in-law's classicpaella valenciana recipe to The Spain Scoop, and in the process discovered some egregious examples of "paella valenciana" (in scare quotes) floating around out there in the blogosphere and worldwide web.
Consider this post my effort to clear up the record and call out some erroneous ideas out there about paella, what's in it, and where it's from…
• The Good:
It's my blog, so you'll have to forgive my pretension for listing my mother-in-law's version here among the good versions of paella valenciana, but her recipe really is great, and follows the guidelines of the recent informal denominación de origen conferred on paella valenciana. If you haven't already, I encourage you to take a moment and review those three entries at The Spain Scoop:
1) "How To Make My Mother-in-law's Valencian Paella – Part 1": In part 1, I outline the basic components of the dish, listing the ingredients you will need while sketching out some of the common misconceptions about the dish and what is used to prepare it.
is: Aceite [Vegetable oil], Pollo [Chicken], Conejo [Rabbit], "Ferraura" (bajoqueta) [a local green bean], "Garrafó" [a local white bean], Tomate, Agua [Water], Sal [Salt], Azafrán [Safron], Arroz [the local Valencian rice]""]2) "How To Make My Mother-in-law's Valencian Paella – Part 2": This second entry is probably the most useful of the three – where I layout instructions on how to prepare and cook all the ingredients, to actually make a paella valenciana.
3) "How To Make My Mother-in-law's Paella Valenciana – Part 3": And here I wrap it up by describing how it is served, and how Valencian's love the crusted burnt layer of rice at the bottom of the paella pan, known as "socarrat".
I've seen a few expats and Americans who have managed to accurately recreate this dish, so you don't have to be a card-carrying Valencian to do so. Fellow Valencia expat blogger,Leftbanker, posted a picture of what is undeniably authentic paella valenciana on his blog not long ago. (He particularly won me over with this hilarious rant about the English-speaker's tendency to mispronounce "paella".) My Kitchen in Spain, Janet Mendel's fun culinary blog, creatively plays around with the paella recipe on her blog, though she's careful never to mislabel it "paella valenciana", so I don't hold it against her. And Mendel says that you can find the authentic recipe for paella valenciana in her book, My Kitchen in Spain (2002). (I'll have to trust her, since I don't own it. Hint, hint, Janet. Gift idea?)
However, it is very hard to make the _real_ paella valenciana well if you live outside of Spain, since the fresh staples that form the base of this dish aren't grown outside the Valencian province.
• The Bad:
But in preparing blog entries on paella and Valencian rice dishes I have begun to uncover what I believe are the two main sources of many of the erroneous "paellas valencianas" circulating online and especially among the foreign expats and tourists.
Source of confusion 1: An easy tip off as to whether they've messed up the paella recipe. There is no traditional paella (valenciana or otherwise) which has any of the ingredients found in that other classic Valencian rice dish, arroz al horno, such as: costillas de cerdo (pork ribs… or really any kind of pork), morcilla, potato, garlic, chickpeas. If you find any of these ingredients call the local officials immediately you know that the chef is dazed and confused about the traditions of paella-making.
Lesson: Just because it's paella, it's traditional, and it's traditionally from Valencia, doesn't mean it's traditional "paella valenciana". I think a lot of people are confusing the ingredients which appear in other traditional Valencian rice dishes with fair-game paella ingredients, and are maybe also thinking thatpaella de marisco, a very traditional Valencian paella, is _the_ "paella valenciana"… which it is not.
Source of confusion 2: Outside the Valencian province, some other paellas have appeared which day-tripping tourists to Spain have understandably taken to be the "auténtico" thing, but which are also far from traditional Valencian dishes. For any fans of "paella mixta" (Madrid's mixed meat, both seafood and chicken, version of the paella dish), or to those of you from Castellón who want to put red pepper in your paella, fine! Do it! Just don't call it "paella valenciana," which it is not. I'm a believer in culinary innovation (here I depart ways with many of my more hardcore Valencian readers), but these bastardizations variations on Valencia's paellas would turn the nose of any Valencian.
Lesson: Paella, and particularly paella valenciana, is from the Valencian Province, not Catalonia, not Castellón or Alicante, in a way, not even "from Spain". And it is a simple dish, without bells and whistles. If you eat or make any other kind, be polite to Valencian pride and heritage and call it something else.
• The Ugly:
But where things get ugly is the use of the term "paella valenciana" to sell any and every kind of fried rice dish abroad. One point of confusion is that there is a "paella caribeña" recipe floating out there. I don't know where it was originally from, or how traditional it is, but it is often sold in the States with the title "Spanish paella", which it is not. Why? Well, first and foremost because it uses regular white rice. And this leads to the other serious infraction in the States: the mistaken idea that making "Spanish fried rice" or "saffron rice" is all it takes to call something "paella". No! You need to use the special Valencian round-grain rice to make it (i.e. arroz bomba, as in 'Arroz de Valencia' or even the MurcianCalasparra). (And, no, you can't just substitute the completely different Italian Arborio rice, used in risotto!) Perhaps you once had the excuse in the States that it was hard to find "arroz bomba", but with LaTienda.com such is no longer the case.
As I said at the start, in my online searches I ran across a lot of tragically hilarious faux pas paellas of fancy U.S. restaurants or catering services claiming to sell "paella valenciana" and yet even the most cursory glance can tell you it was a serious screw up of the region's most famous dish. For example, the fancy New York City "paella bar" (whatever that is) called Socarrat in Chelsea lists some bizarre paellas on its menu. Again, I have no complaints about mixing it up and innovating, so I was keeping an open-minded about them as I read their menu (though I've never heard of eggplant in a paella). Until I saw it, the "Valenciana"… with pork ribs and asparagus. Yikes!
And I'm not sure what to say to well-meaning culinary bloggers who, in their misinformation and sloppiness, put up recipes for "Paella Valencia" with chorizo in it, or ones that put up a correct meat recipe for "Paella Valenciana" but for some reason post a picture of paella de marisco (?). It is thanks to these many bloggers and recipe posters that agoogle image search of "paella valenciana" turns up a lot ofjunk false, baroque misrepresentations of Valencia's simple, humble dish.
But do you wanna get a Valencian _really_ mad? Point them to this American (San Diego based) catering website: Paella Valenciana, Paella Catering You Can Trust. Yes, folks! The company that has managed to corner the online domain name for "paella valenciana dot com" is selling the world's biggest fake for paella valenciana!!! Here I quote for you the caption under their menu entry for the dish:
Paella Valenciana is a very popular succulent mix of paella with fresh chicken, sea-food and vegetables. You can customize your paella choice with your choice of shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams, scallops, crab claws, fish and lobster.
Where does one start when tearing apart critiquing this? (Well, with the obvious, that the dish doesn't have sea-food in it.) But I'm confused by what they mean when they say paella valenciana is a mix of paella _with_ those ingredients. Paella _is_ those ingredients, plus rice and some other things. And how American of them is it to offer tailor-made paellas valencianas. Don't consider this a gripe. I'm just howling with laughter at the utter disregard Americans can give to European traditions and importance placed on authenticity, even as they are capitalizing off the mystique of European traditions and history.
So let's making this shaming process an official game. I hereby offer you the "Paella Hall of Shame". If you find a picture, recipe, restaurant, or website online that is perpetuating these preposterous paellas, make a comment here with a linkback to it. In turn, if you are one of the shamed and have changed your evil ways, post here, and I promise I will remove the link or mention of you."

An erotic 18th-century oratorio that was sanitised by the Victorians who deemed it too racy will receive a rare performance in London tomorrow.
Solomon by William Boyce will be presented by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in its original naughty glory. The work was written as a celebration of love based on the Song of Solomon, also known as the Song of Songs, from the King James Bible.
Steven Devine, who will conduct from the harpsichord, said: "Boyce was highly regarded in his own time and this was one of his most respected pieces. It was probably more popular than Handel's Messiah."
But by the 19th century, society had decided the overt eroticism was too much. Thomas Bowdler — who published a cleaned-up Family Shakespeare, and from whom the word "bowdlerise" is derived — created a sanitised version of Solomon, changing lines such as "Thy breasts are like the clust'ring grape" to "Thy breasts are of a thousand fair."
Mr Devine said the original lyrics were "suggestive" rather than "overtly rude", adding: "It's a sublimely written, beautiful exploration of love. Unlike many baroque composers Boyce had a particularly keen eye to the sales. Solomon was written ... to please his audience. I'm very excited."
Solomon recounts the conversation of a couple — "He" sung by James Gilchrist and "She" by Lucy Crowe — from courtship to consummation, with interjections by a chorus. The performance is at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre.

Baseboard install
Excellent craftsmanship and very courteous would recommend this company to anyone who needs the job done right.
Top notch, professional, and courteous
The project involved work on a large front porch. It included removal and replacement of front and side stairs utilizing composite lumber, installation of metal railings, installation of pavers, and performing new facing and lattice work. In addition, reinforcements under the structure were replaced as well as new ones being added. Work was also done under adverse winter weather conditions which would normally prevent other contractors from even showing up. Attention to detail, friendliness and communication was noteworthy.
Great work, precise, Considerate
My wife and I recommend Tiberius, he and his workers were clean, honest , punctual, and easy to work with. We will have him back for any work we need done.
very pleased!
Highly recommend using Tiberius Smith Construction. Tiberius' communication, professionalism, & work is top notch. We are so pleased with our project and can't wait to have him and his crew back to help us finish the rest of our remodel.
We had our upper level deck railings replaced with Trex materiel and steps built from the yard to the deck, along with a rain barrier installed under the deck to keep the area below dry. We are happy with the project and the craftsmanship was great.
High quality, professional work done with excellent communication
Tiberius Smith Construction repaired and painted my fence. Tiberius was prompt with my estimate and showed up to work when he said he would. The work was finished in a quick and timely manner and I was very satisfied with my freshly repaired and painted fence. I would definitely recommend Tiberius as a painting contractor. What I truly appreciated was his GREAT communication with me - if he said he was coming over at 1:00, he showed up at 1:00. It is easy to communicate with him via email or telephone and I was extremely satisfied with my painted fence.
Amazing Kitchen Remodel
Honestly, I was nervous about undergoing a kitchen remodel in my older home. I really wanted a contractor that I could trust to do the job, especially after you hear about so many horror stories undertaking a big remodel. I called Tiberius after reading his reviews online and he came right over. He was super easy to work with, helped me stay in budget, and the work is high quality. We were able to call him with questions anytime, and I never felt like he didn't have our best interests. My husband and I already want to use him for another project next year.
Great professionalism and communication!
Tiberius and his crew are awesome to work with. They are clean, timely, and super patient when working around a family. I trust their opinions and they see the vision and work with you till you are satisfied! Could not be happier with our work and I will continue to use Tiberius Smith Construction!
Outstanding job with great service
Tiberius and his crew recently resided a rental house/garage that I own. He did an outstanding job and the change has been amazing. They were very polite and conscientious of both the tenant and the neighbors. I have received many compliments on the job that he did and how great his crew are. I would use/recommend them again is a second!
Excellent craftsmanship and a great crew too!
to We had a new bathroom put in as well as texturing, wall paper removal, painting, hard wood floor, banister, steps, and custom made cabinet doors. These guys are meticulous, detail oriented and very professional. Tiberius gives affordable bids, and is not afraid go the extra mile. More than satisfied. We will have them to do another project in a different home without looking for anyone else.
Very friendly and professional. They did an amazing job on our front door
They were quick and the project looks well done.
A bulletproof deck
The deck and railing really improved the look of the house. Completed on time and within budget.
A HUGE thank you to Tiberius and Cody for their excellent service. They both went above and beyond for my small bedroom project, installing doors, and texturing. I highly recommend working with them!

You may charge college costs (tuition, books, supplies, and certain fees) up to the amount you have been awarded in aid, provided that all financial aid paperwork has been received and processed by the Financial Aid Office. If you do not have all paperwork completed at the time of registration, you will need to make other arrangements for payment and may be required to pay in full.
Please be aware that your financial aid is always subject to change without prior notice if changes occur in your enrollment status, class attendance, personal circumstances, or in federal or state guidelines.
You are responsible for all college bills not covered by your financial aid. All charges that you incur during a semester that are not covered by financial aid must be paid by you before you will be able to register again.
If you have questions of any kind relating to paying your college costs with your financial aid, please telephone or email our office at email@example.com for a prompt response.
Financial Aid and Withdrawls
If you withdraw or cease attendance, you may have charges and financial aid adjusted according to the time and circumstances that you cease enrollment. You should refer to the refund schedules which are published in the current class schedule.
If you fail to attend class without officially withdrawing, it may void your financial aid, leaving you responsible for all charges. You must advise the Student Services Office in writing in order to officially withdraw.
NOTE: No loan check can be released, nor work-study authorized, nor any additional charge or expense recognized for financial aid if it is determined that a student has, in fact, ceased attendance.
Federal Return of Funds/Repayment Policy (Federal Regulation 668.22)
Under changes made by the Higher Education Act of 1998, this policy focuses on the amount of Title IV program funds to be returned when a student withdraws from all classes and does not complete the semester. This Return of Funds policy applies only to students receiving Title IV aid (federal Pell Grants, federal SEOG, and federal subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans).
During the first 60% of the enrollment period, a student "earns" Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. Students who withdraw totally from the college without completing 60% of the enrollment period will be required to repay a portion of the aid received within 45 days.
For example, a student who withdraws after completing 10% of the enrollment period may need to repay up to 90% of the federal funds that were awarded to them. Student should contact the Financial Aid department prior to the withdrawal.
See the Refunds for Class Registration Policy (POL 6.06A) for more information.

The movie hasn't even hit theaters yet (it will tomorrow morning at 12:01 AM), but already The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has set a new Hollywood record: largest domestic release in history.
A record 4,416 theaters will have the opening of the third installment of the popular vampire story. This tops Iron Man 2 just barely by 36 venues. Not too bad for a bunch of kids from Forks, Washington!
Over on the MoviePosterShop Facebook page we're giving away an Eclipse poster to the person who can most closely guess the extended weekend box office take for Eclipse. Just how much will Stephanie Meyer's story rake in, starting with a Wednesday release and going all the way through Monday? It's hard to say, but I'm guessing we'll see some GIANT numbers for Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Co.
