For all its ratings brilliance, "Game of Thrones" still couldn't surpass one broadcast last week.
"America's Got Talent" averaged nearly 12.6 million viewers when it aired last Tuesday in its regular time slot. "Game of Thrones" drew 10.1 million in its regular time slot on Sunday. Advantage to Simon Cowell.
But when repeats, DVR and streaming viewing are added in, the "GoT" total climbs to 16.1 million. It was the best showing ever for the HBO drama.
The most-watched programs in broadcast television for the week were:
1. "America's Got Talent" Tuesday, NBC, 12.6 million

January 15, 2016 by Canadian Underwriter
Canadian Underwriter magazine and DMTI Spatial are offering a webinar on Feb. 25th highlighting the business impact of digital disruption driven by consumers and mobile-first start-ups.
The webinar, titled 2016 – Year of Disruption: P&C Insurance Re-imagined, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 25 at10:30 am EST and will run for approximately 45 minutes. Speakers include Mukul Ahuja (pictured left), senior manager, Insurance Strategy practice at Monitor Deloitte; Keith Walter (pictured below right), senior advisor and joint leader, actuarial, rewards, and analytics service line at Deloitte Canada; and Jamie McDougall (pictured below left), vice president, business intelligence & analytics, Gore Mutual Insurance Company.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
P&C insurers are finding themselves facing a perfect storm of change. Evolving digitally connected consumers, intensifying competition from mobile-first start-ups and app-based disruptive technologies are creating new business pressures. At the same time, climate change is playing havoc with insurers' ability to predict losses from natural catastrophic events. Regulatory scrutiny and requirements are also on the rise. Taken together, these factors are forcing P&C insurers to rethink how they secure competitive advantage and long-term value. In five to ten years, the speakers predict, there will be a "radically different landscape in Canadian P&C insurance."
With regards to digital connectedness, today's consumers are "always-on" via connected mobile devices, well-informed – and very demanding. They spend more time online using tablets, smartphones and computers to research, shop and socialize. Connected, impatient and value-conscious, consumers are forcing P&C insurers to pay far more attention to their own brand and the customer experience they deliver. With good reason, too: 40% of current P&C customers are likely to switch to a new provider for auto and home insurance in the next 12 months. There is a thirst for digital disruption and those industry players who get there first will be able to secure a competitive advantage.
Understanding the digital lifestyle and start-up shifts, anticipating their business impact and making the necessary changes to adapt will be an absolute imperative for P&C insurers in the years to come, the speakers said.

I also contacted Sasquatch information twice, but didn't get an answer.I'm celiac and have some pretty serious dietary restrictions. Is anyone also celiac and has attended Sasquatch before?I'm assuming most of their food is hot dogs, burgers, fries, sandwiches, etc - none of which I can have. I'm okay with bringing my own food, but I'm just wondering if they have any gluten-free options.As for drinks, I'm guessing they don't have any GF beer, so I'm stuck with wine... or sneaking in my own whiskey?Thanks!


text: Coronation Street: Michael Le Vell to "take a break" from the ITV soap The 49-year-old actor, who plays mechanic Kevin Webster, is to seek professional help after admitting to using cocaine Comments Written By David Brown 5:08 PM, 04 March 2014 Actor Michael Le Vell, who plays mechanic Kevin Webster in Coronation Street, is to take an extended break from the ITV soap after admitting to cocaine use. In a statement released today, the broadcaster said: "Coronation Street and Michael Le Vell have mutually agreed that he will take a break from the programme whilst he seeks professional help for personal issues." Le Vell, 49, was cleared of sex abuse charges in September 2013, but admitted at the weekend to having used cocaine twice last year – once in the run-up to his trial and again following the verdict. "I've always been against drugs and have turned them down," Le Vell told the Sunday Mirror. "I've seen what they can do to people. But I had never felt so low. I knew I was innocent but everything was closing in on me. "And when someone offered them to me, I just agreed. The first time I ever did cocaine was in the lead up to my trial. I'm so ashamed of what I did. Afterwards I felt so ashamed I never thought I'd do it again. But I did it once more after the trial." Now, following a meeting with show bosses, it has been agreed that Le Vell will depart to get professional help, although RadioTimes.com understands that comeback scenes filmed earlier this year will be broadcast as planned. The actor returned to filming at Coronation Street seven weeks ago, with Kevin not having been seen on screen since February 2013 when he left for Germany to take care of his sick father Bill.

Heidi Klum Makes Post-Divorce Filing Debut
One day removed from filing for divorce from her husband of seven years, Seal, a smiling Heidi Klum was spotted out tending to her routine mommy duties on Saturday (April 7).
The gorgeous supermodel looked fantastic as she stepped out in a magenta maxi dress, black leather jacket and sunglasses while taking sons Henry and Johan to karate class in Brentwood, CA.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Heidi and Seal announced their separation earlier this year, but Miss Klum has ended up being the one to take the next step by filing legal papers citing "irreconcilable differences" in L.A. County Superior Court yesterday.
Meanwhile, TMZ caught up with Seal at LAX Airport last night but, after numerous questions from the shutterbugs, the singer opted to remain mum on his personal life.
No word on what the final outcomes will be from the divorce, but it is known that the Victoria's Secret beauty is asking for joint legal custody of their four children with herself as primary physical custody holder.

Iomega announced a new tool in the defense against data disasters: Iomega Never Down software for Windows PCs utilizing an eSATA interface.
The software works by keeping a complete, uncompressed backup copy of a Windows laptop or desktop computer's system drive on an external eSATA hard drive. The speed and performance of the eSATA 3.0 Gbits/sec interface, up to 6 times faster than USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed USB), ensures that backup, recovery, and operation from the external drive proceeds at internal hard drive speeds.
Unlike a RAID 1 setup, where all data is copied to two drives at once (a process known as mirroring), Never Down creates backup copies manually or through Microsoft's Scheduled Task Wizard. The advantage for Never Down users is that they can always revert back to their last intact backup copy and continue their work, whereas viruses and hacker attacks can disable both drives in a RAID 1 array simultaneously.
More details about the software can be found at Iomega.

Tea Brick
Coins & Medals, Gallery 37
Focus on the Object
It is hard to imagine that tea was ever actually used as a form
of money. In the 18th - 19th centuries however, cakes of compressed
tea resembling bricks circulated as money in Siberia, Mongolia
and Tibet. This 'money' was manufactured in South
China, where stalks and leaves of the tea plant were mixed with
aromatic herbs and compressed, sometimes using a hydraulic press,
into bricks. Although the Chinese were the main producers of the
bricks, other tea-brokering agencies such as French, German and
Russian companies also were engaged in their production.
bricks come in various sizes and have a Chinese inscription impressed
upon them, which indicates their 'value' depending
on the quality of the ingredients used. Russian, Mongolian and
Tartar inscriptions are also known. The value increased as the
bricks travelled farther away from the tea-producing regions.
Ease of convenience in travel and ready acceptance in distant
trading destinations made tea money very popular.
Siberians sought tea for its medicinal properties. In their harsh
climate it came as a ready cure for coughs and colds. In Tibet,
the bricks were in such demand that swords, horses and other property
were often priced in a given number of tea bricks. For smaller
purchases pieces were boken from the bricks and passed by weight.
Along the Silk Route in the Russian Steppes, a horse could be
bought for twenty bricks and a sheep for twelve bricks.

Highway crews busy across Erie County
The harsh effects of Monday's storm were scattered throughout much of Erie County by late afternoon, well into the evening.
Hamburg Town Police were not taking any chances and issued a travel advisory through Code Red calls to their 55,000 residents, urging no unnecessary travel in the entire town, including the villages of Hamburg and Blasdell and surrounding areas – until further notice.
"We're not getting heavy snows, but the winds are just real crazy. It's just very windy," said Hamburg police dispatcher Lance Kelly, shortly before 6:30 p.m.
The Lancaster area also had dicey driving conditions and issued a travel advisory for the town.
Many Southtowns commuters faced very long drives home from downtown – ranging from 1.5 hours from the city toward Eden, traveling along South Park Avenue since the Skyway was closed, to more than three hours, in some cases as workers bucked the strong winds and blowing, drifting snow bands.
The drive between the Town of Eden and Village of Hamburg was particularly challenging, with numerous white-outs and blizzard-like conditions along routes 62 and 75, stretching alongside the farms.
As drivers struggled to see out their windshields, with many using their four-way flashers, a blizzard warning was issued for Erie County.
"It's bad," said Eden Highway Superintendent Ronald Maggs. "It's definitely bad blowing and drifting. The wind makes it the worst. The snowfall is on and off. You can't see a thing. It's dangerous out there."
Maggs and other highway officials noted that it's the worst winter storm weather that the Buffalo area has seen in several years. "It's looking like this might be a real bad winter," Maggs said. "We've had nothing the last few years. It's been five to six years since we've had (bad) weather."
Just before 7 p.m. Monday, Maggs' snowplowing crews were just beginning their fourth round of clearing the 40 square miles of Eden's roads. "We'll be out there and doing our thing," Maggs said. "We'll go out late tonight and go out probably again around 3 a.m."
The tough winter weather, so far, has come at a cost, too. In Eden's case, the highway garage has used 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel in December, compared to 1,000 to 1,500 gallons typically used over the course of a month. "That is the biggest I can ever remember," Maggs said.
Additionally, Eden has probably used more than 2,000 tons of a salt and sand blended mix so far this winter, he said.
In the Town of Evans, visibility was exceptionally bad. "It's very, very poor visibility pretty much everywhere," said Jack Hazard, a snow plow driver for the town. "It seems to be more of an issue with visibility. The wind just seems to be blowing it around."
As the early evening hours began, more snow began falling and conditions worsened in Evans. "It really started picking up," Hazard said, noting that a round of five snowplow trucks, with 10 men in all, was working the routes until 10 p.m. Another three trucks were expected to be back out between overnight going into early Tuesday morning hours.
In West Seneca, police reported significant wind and white-outs. "The wind is kicking up," a dispatcher said. "A couple of officers wondered if there was going to be a driving ban issued."

Top Ten Ways Women Take Things Up A Notch
Ask Men U.K. had an interesting article recently on the top ten ways a guy could take a relationship "down a notch" when he doesn't want to necessarily end it — or, you know, give up regular sex — but just "slow things down a little." AM tells its readers, "The trick is cooling things down without turning her off" and then gives ten ways to navigate such a "delicate situation." They suggest having group dates (10), which will makes things feel "less like you're in a relationship and more like you're 'just hanging out,'" not to introduce her to any of your friends (9) , call less often (7), do it-'n-dash (2), go on vacation without her (1), and just act like an overall jerk (4). Call me crazy, but if a guy really wants is a friends-with-benefits relationship, why not just ask for one? Why go to the big expense of flying to Phoenix alone for the weekend just to prove some point when a conversation would have the same effect? Anyway, we ladies have a few "tricks" of our own. After the jump, the top ten ways we "creatively" take things "up a notch." 1. Leave a box of tampons in your bathroom
2. Bake a cake for your birthday
3. Change our Facebook status to "in a relationship"
4. Invite you and another couple over for "game night"
5. Give you a nickname on our blog
6. Ask you to go car shopping with us
7. Become Facebook friends with your sister
8. Take you to our cousin's wedding
9. Buy you a hat from Urban Outfitters
10. Wear one of your shirts to bed

Franklin Regional considers policy to give credit for out-of-district courses
Franklin Regional students who take out-of-district courses for enrichment might soon earn graduation credit for their work.
School board members are mulling a change in policy that would allow for a review of any academic course completed by a student out of district. The current policy prohibits students from receiving credit toward graduation for those classes, including some offered through Westmoreland Intermediate Unit's e-Academy that are administered from other districts.
"By policy, I would have to see is preclude a student from taking a course outside our walls," board Vice President Joe Seymour said. "Maybe a student wants to continue their education in the summer."
Board member Paul Scheinert suggested evaluating the courses on a case-by-case basis to ensure anything that counts towards a Franklin Regional diploma has sufficient academic rigor. Scheinert is worried about enacting a policy that doesn't include a procedure to deal with courses that have little academic merit.
"If the administration and determine a course is one we want to accept here at Franklin, I want it to be adequately controlled," Scheinert said. "I just want to have the right review for that."
The board has labored over the policy revision, meticulously examining its wording for more than 40 minutes at two board meetings this month. The final policy, which is slated to be approved next month, puts the onus on the students to pay for the courses after arranging for placement through the guidance office.
Next school year, all students in grades nine through 11 are required to schedule a class in each period. Under the new seven-period schedule approved in the fall, students aren't permitted to schedule study halls and will take part in a 90 minute "quality resource time" in the middle of the day. That block period will be used for one-on-one work for students who need additional help from teachers.

This review is from: QNAP TS-569-PRO-US Diskless System 5-Bay, All-in-One NAS
Pros: Great Raid configurations and always good firmware updates.
Cons: Called for a Service return of TS-639 Pro as motherboard failed. I was going to pay for this repair as I need my data! I was then informed they no longer had replacement motherboards.. OK this is just the third year after purchase so buyer beware that this company does not support their products beyond 36 months evidently!!!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: QNAP TS-639 Pro Network Storage
Pros: I configured the TS-639 with 6 WD1001FALS 1TB drives at Raid Level 6 right out of the box. These drives have been running for about a month now with no issues and enter and exit sleep mode with no problem. Limited information comes with the system, but the Qnap Forum had all the answers I needed to set up several of the Services that come with it, TwonkyMedia Service to serve wireless video/audio to my home theater system, drive shares to XP PCs. Next I'll make it my Web Server.
It runs very quiet sitting next to me. It is a little larger system than I needed, but I'm more than happy with its performance and build.
Cons: Better instruction guides would be helpful, but online support makes up for it.
Other Thoughts: A bit expensive, but since I have not had any issues with its performance the trade off money vs fighting bugs has been well worth the offset.READ FULL REVIEW

Study Highlights Digital Wallet Market Potential, Current Adoption Barriers
comScore has released a new report entitled, "Digital Wallet Road Map 2013" which measures consumer awareness, perceptions and intent to use current digital wallet offerings.
"Digital wallets represent an innovative technology that has not yet reached critical mass among consumers due to a variety of factors, including low awareness and a muddied understanding of their benefits," said Andrea Jacobs , comScore Payments Practice Leader. "This study delves deeply into the mindset of consumers with respect to their potential use of digital wallets, in addition to helping size the market opportunity."
The study is based on comScore's opt-in panel of 1 million U.S. consumers and two separate surveys of more than 2,000 U.S. Internet users conducted in November 2012.

Telling Time in Ancient North America - The Illinois Humanities Council Road Scholars Speakers Bureau
A Road Scholar Program by William Iseminger
Humans have been measuring time for thousands of years. Without a cell phone or clock around to tell if one was running late for the hunt or needed to prepare for harvesting season, the earliest human civilizations had to rely on other methods to schedule their days and nights. Discover the various timekeeping methods employed by these ancient civilizations in North America. Whether natural formations on the horizon or artificial man-made structures-their calendars made use of the sun, moon, and certain bright stars to measure time. Learn about the Woodhenge sun circles of Cahokia Mounds, America's and Illinois' first city, other prehistoric Indian sites in eastern North America, the Pueblo structures in the Southwest, and the rock circle "Medicine Wheels" of the Great Plains-all evidence of the great innovators who looked to the sky to know what time it was.
This event is Free and Open to the public.
The Illinois Humanities Council [IHC] is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Illinois General Assembly [through the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency], as well as by contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations.

North Carolina vs. Duke: Tar Heels Must Avenge Home-Court Loss at Blue DevilsMarch 2, 2012
After dropping a game on their home court to the Duke Blue Devils in a devastating 85-84 loss back on February 8th, the North Carolina Tar Heels must do the same to their ACC rivals on Duke's home court this Saturday.
With these two teams set to battle it out in Durham, nobody can ask for a better way to end the regular college basketball season.
Not to mention, when these two ACC powerhouses collide, there is going to be a lot at stake.
When the Blue Devils took down the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, UNC was ranked fifth in the nation compared to their counterparts being ninth. Things have changed since the loss, as now the Tar Heels will be the lower ranked team coming into an upset situation.
In that game, Blue Devils star freshman Austin Rivers showed his true potential, as he tore up the his rivals for 29 points. UNC's Harrison Barnes had a good game as well, racking up 25 points on the night.
When the two teams enter Cameron Stadium, nobody should expect anything less than for these two players to light it up again.
For the Tar Heels, they desperately need Barnes to outshine Rivers on the floor of their opponent.
If the No. 6 Tar Heels can walk away with a win against No. 3 Duke, the team will have a chance to jump the Blue Devils and possibly take the lead in the polls.
More importantly, the team needs to do what they can to try and capture a No. 1 seed heading into this year's tournament, and nothing would lock that up more than a defining win in their last game of the season.
Both teams need this win more than anything, and it will determine just where each sits going into the big dance. Nobody is going to let the other off easy, and without a doubt this game will go down to the wire.
As of now, the advantage is in the Blue Devils' court—but as we saw this past season, these teams don't shy away from standing on the floor of their opposition.

The government has unveiled plans for minimum alcohol pricing in England. The proposal suggests a minimum price of 40 pence per unit as part of a wider alcohol strategy to curb health problems and crime associated with binge drinking.
It is estimated that each year alcohol causes over 1 million NHS hospitalisations and 1 million violent crimes in England, primarily through binge drinking. Earlier this week NHS figures revealed that deaths from liver disease had risen by 25% in less than a decade, mainly driven by alcohol.
The price of most drinks would be unaffected by a 40p threshold, although many super-strength and own-brand products could see large price rises: at present some super-strength lagers and ciders contain 4.5 units per can but sell for less than a pound, equating to less than 20p per unit.
Some bottles of ciders could also double in price, as some supermarkets sell them for less than 20p per unit - an equivalent of less than 50p per pint. This is well below the £3-4 pounds for equivalent drinks sold in pubs.
The strategy has also called for consultation on multi-buy deals offering cheap alcohol in bulk. This is part of a 'zero tolerance' approach to dealing with drunken behaviour in A&E departments and new legislation over the licensing of pubs and clubs. The strategy is still at a proposal stage but the government hopes to implement it by 2015.

AFP TX: Houston Tax Day Rally

Join AFP TX for a Tax Day Rally in Houston!
The rally will be held at King Street Patriot Meeting Room on April 15th at 7pm.
Government is spending more and more, and it is simply not making life better. Americans are not getting much value for their hard-earned tax dollars.
The record growth of government and increase in spending over the last five years has failed to make things better for hardworking Americans. In fact, things have gotten worse—particularly for the vulnerable populations that President Obama and his allies in Congress say that they intend to help. Washington is wasting taxpayer money on projects that only help special interests and their friends. People would be much better off if they could keep a greater percentage of their earnings instead of giving it up in higher taxes.
Washington should focus on reducing spending and making life better for Americans instead of focusing on big government spending programs that don't work.
Bigger government is getting in the way of economic opportunity. The country needs solutions that increase upward mobility for every day Americans. Washington and Congress keep going back to the same old policies — but we see that extending emergency compensation insurance and raising the minimum wage is simply not getting Americans back to work. Congress needs to go back to the drawing board and the first step is stopping over-spending.

'Guilty White Liberals' In Leftist Media Being Pressed to 'Live Up to Values We Profess' and Pay Interns
Ryan Glasspiegel at Romenesko drew out more details from writer Charles Davis about his article for Vice.com on the trend of unpaid internships and left-wing media outlets that profess to abhor exploitative employers. It was called "The Exploited Labor of the Liberal Media." (Our summary is here.)
When Davis peeked at the comments his article drew, "Only a few people took the bosses' sides." A few tried to suggest that a boss at Mother Jones or Pacifica Radio making upwards of $150,000 isn't "rich," and Davis said tell that to an unpaid intern:
Indeed, the only negative responses I got in my inbox were from a couple people (none of them interns), who wrote me to suggest that editors who are making anywhere from $70,000 to $150,000 are not "getting rich," which may be true but is also a non-sequitur – and go tell that to an unpaid intern.
I understand why some of these people are defensive – the left-wing media world is small — and some would say incestuous — but when you have the means to pay top staff well above a living wage, it's a bit rich to ask only the millenials to sacrifice in the name of the cause. It's wrong, actually.
I don't think progressive outlets should be in the business of replicating the economic inequality they criticize elsewhere. And I don't think editors who pay themselves well over a living wage should be immune from criticism when they pay others nothing. For some, that's been a point of contention.
Glasspiegel asked if he wrote the piece to force liberal outlets to live up to liberal ideals, even if it pinches their wallets:
A senior editor at The American Prospect responded that while he wanted to defend his magazine's use of unpaid and barely paid labor, he couldn't help but admit that his magazine was wrong and needed to "live up to values we profess." I am not aware of there having been a change in policy yet, but such acknowledgements can't help but set the wheels in motion – and I do know that staff at some of the other places I named in the piece are lobbying for such a change.
That's ultimately why I wrote it: There's a lot of exploitation in our society. While the vast majority of that exploitation is carried out by people who would not identify as part of the left — much less center-left media — guilty white liberals are susceptible to being guilted into changing their behavior when allies point out that it falls short of their professed values.
Davis was honest enough to say Vice paid him $300 for the article, which wasn't the same kind of money he'd get if he was a salaried writer for Vice. He also said " VICE did not commission this piece nor did I set out with the intention of writing it for them. The problem I encountered is that no outlet one would consider part of the traditional "left" media would touch it, in part because they either exploit 20-something labor themselves or they wished to stay on friendly terms with those who do. VICE was willing to let me call out hypocrisy when no one else would."

|Misbah Khokhar
The clock is ticking over my head as I feign sleep. Sleep comes in like a hidden love affair, brushing the lashes of my eyes, sinking into my weary limbs.
I am here, waitress all in one, plunging hot steam into empty teapots. I warm the teapots, in my head I sing to the insides of these shiny pewter teapots, that burn my fingers, my dry fingers. I have a face that ages by the consecutive daylight hours.
A face that hides all the mind's longing far below the surface. My fingers feel the cool smooth surface of a river stone, and I sigh, because it is all I have with me, and it is all I need for my journey home.
I am riding in a jeep with my father's family. See me now. My hair is long and black and plaited carelessly. My nose is sunburnt and my lips shall never be thick and moist. I have found myself in this eastern land as a girl-child accompanied by my mother and my two brothers. It is noon-day and we cross the shallow part of the river on our way to the crumbling fort of Rotaz.
My mother washes clothes everyday, her hands are pale and always clean. They have never seen the sun, they are immersed in a world of domestic duties and maternal worries. I see the way she looks at me, her eyes focusing on my large round face, travelling around the features, sighing at my body. I have a body that moves, that insists on pleasure long before I have any conception of pleasure. A water colour painting of childhood. Under the house children touch each other's bodies and run away.
I remember falling as a child onto cold cement and my mother's cream filled breath hovering around me. My mother who cannot make milk for her daughter because the eastern heat is too much for her. See the way her hair is pulled back tightly but her face remains soft and luminous. She holds me up to the light. She tells me stories. Sometimes the stories she tells her only daughter make the child weep. Tears of milk. A river of tears, with sorrow and much laughter.
" I was addicted to Galibis when I was pregnant with you." Her voice trails into the winter air perfumed with sugar on the tongue. The coils of rosewater syrup sweets, golden in paper bags, melting on the pink flesh.
" I have a ridiculously sweet tooth and I now know why."
She hears me and smiles at my scowl. She toasts her life with another piece of chocolate. I see a young girl, too young for marriage, dreaming of her grown daughter sitting near her and talking. I want to cradle my mother and iron out her fears and sing her praises into the hearts of every living person. Dreamy women.
When she has had a particularly vivid dream she would announce it to me at the breakfast table. I am not sure if I have a photo of my father and me together. I may have imagined it, but I do remember my father constantly walking off, away from my mother and me. She would call to him but he would not respond until the last moment when she gave up calling.
My father's sisters are imposing characters. Their soft caramel skin hides under layers of cotton and veils. Smooth skin like a river pebble. They are utterly devoted to Allah, and to the preservation of faith in all of the family members. I thought secretly that they were wild women at heart, once a long time ago, who had been broken and saddled by the beautiful velvet of the prayer mat. God, how I sometimes cannot even look them in the eye, for I fear they will uncover all of my wickedness, all of my abandonment, and that I will be convinced that my freedom is merely the fetters of enslavement.
I do not let the easy sway of hips pass by them. I do not wear my hair down on windy days when I feel most alive. I cannot even bare to touch my face in front of them. But then I lead fractured lives, some to please, others to understand. I live in the spaces between the role of dutiful woman, daughter, niece, and sister.
Can you see the girl standing at the side of the jeep? She has leaned over the river to wash her face in the heat of noon. Her veil is black and she has smooth skin like her two aunties. Skin for sinning, for pleasure. She is afraid that they will notice too much of her smooth skin as she lifts her long skirt to wash her feet and legs. No-one is watching her.
Me, the girl with the long black hair that secretly wants to be un-brushed. I am taking all the time in the world, to feel the water on my skin, disappearing through my fingers. I have forever to bathe in the river and I only have now. I have eyes that wander, they would wander far if I wasn't so afraid that I might be caught.
When I wear my Abayah I can look all around me. I gaze at my cousin. He has dark liquorice hair that curls around his face. He is always looking at me when he thinks I am looking elsewhere. Much older than I, he lives in the far north regions where there is war and death, snow and hashish. I imagine the meeting of our skin, his arm against mine. His mother is always talking to him of marriage, "I am looking for a suitable wife for you", and " Marriage will bring you security". His mother and father sleep in separate rooms. It is probably a good thing for her, perhaps it is her only place in her large house that she might call her own. I smile at my cousin when his mother speaks to him of marriage. He speaks to her with a steady voice and kindness, " I have no intentions of marrying."
Once I ventured to ask him if he would ever marry a cousin. We are sitting by the river and my parents are not too far away, too far away from each other, but close enough to hear me if I talk loudly.
" Maybe you and I could marry hmm?" He laughs. I
am not perturbed.
I look towards him, and I look into his eyes. His eyes hidden and full of pain. There is death in those amber orbs and my reflection. He touches the hem of my skirt, but my mind travels beyond the hem. His breath always of beetle nut and mint. Sharp white teeth that graze the nape of my neck. Hands that curl between my hips and skim my stomach. Snow falling silently on hot skin, hot sands of the desert. But he would eat me up, he would swallow all of myself and I would let him do that. I would give him pleasure, unconcerned for my own and tell my mirror I was happy. I would have to lie to him. I would lie about myself so that he would not eat me all too quickly. I would be bent over cooking pots and my skin would be smoked like the fish hanging on lines. I see myself with child, bent over a stool attempting to read my own handwriting. I cannot make out the words. I am heavy with the child in my womb, it grows every second. A small baby calls me from the corner of the room. My writing catches fire from the embers spitting before me.
He has given me watercolours and a fine silver pen. Will I write about this river? Maybe. I tell him it can mean nothing, these paints, this pen. That it must not mean anything. I am gasping for life sometimes, flooded like the river where we once sat, by the sunset that called every soul to prayer, except mine. I moan to float in the river, to feel the lime rocks and the fresh cool water, to lie like I am sleeping on my back, to close my eyes like I am dead, except my eyes shall not be shut. I gaze at the violet sky as I drift down the river. I am smiling because I am being cursed by those who love me. My dress sticks to my body, my breasts and thighs, my belly rises, round and full. My hair is like the seaweed in the ocean.
If you look into this river, the river I am drifting on, you can see my mother's face, the laughter of my aunts rippling on the surface, grass reeds that dance with words scribed by a thousand women. They thought that all their dreams would disappear, that they could dream and die near the banks of the river and the river would remain as it is. But they have left their reflections peering up into the infinite sky, peering up into my face. Old wrinkled faces, removing veils from their grey hair, young angry faces that do not wipe the tears but let them fall. Tears that fall into the river, carried to the ocean, the ocean far away from here.
Women once came to the river to wash their clothes. Sometimes they came alone. A young woman killed herself in this river, death by drowning, death by dreaming and desire. Women are forbidden to swim in these waters. A haunted river, a river possessed by a demon that seduces the passionate souls of young women, an angel's voice and then drowns them.
The river winds through the valleys and will eventually come to the sea. It has journeyed from the snow peaks of Kashmir, past war torn villagers, the forms of sleeping women, snowcats, chimneys coughing up smoke, past the azan, pass on through God's words, moving still. And I move with it. It carries me gently, passed the prayers of my family, the beautiful eyes of my cousin.
Once a young woman came down to the river to escape the demands of her family. She says to herself everybody wants a piece of her. Picking like vultures. She wears a green sari, cotton, she cannot afford silk. Her eyes sing tunes that her voice can never. Her body is tired and aches for the cool water. There is no-one around. No lover, no children, no family, no sounds except the river as its voice spills over smooth silver rocks. Her feet have mendhi designs on them. She looks at her feet like they belong to someone else. Her jewellery, heavy and itchy on her neck, she casts away with her long brown hands. By Gabrielle! she is so real, so close to the river's edge that she bends down to see her reflection. A woman emerges from under the surface of the river. Her skin is smooth and dark. A phantom. She smiles when the girl smiles at her. She seems to understand the thoughts whirling through the girl's mind. The hands brush the surface of the water, the woman has vanished. The sari is like a sail and it catches the dry cool winds, lifting the green cotton above her head. She is crowned.
I have bathed my feet in the cool river. The hem of my dress in wet. My face is covered by a veil. I dream under this veil. My veil shields me from heat and the heat of men's eyes. A temptress. A seducer. I am seduced by you, you and your eyes that seem endless and deadly. I have knelt by this river before and washed my abayah. All of my veil's desires are released into the flowing water, all I see under my veil, all the bodies I touch with my eyes, all the longing seeps from my veil. The hidden desires, the longings of life saturated in the veil find release in the river, carried down the river to the ocean. That is why the ocean moans, thrashes against the cliffs, embraces the sands of the beach.
A woman will come long after I have left the bank of this river and will also sink her feet into the water and there she will gaze upon the face of a thousand women, unveiled, whose faces will call her to swim in the river, to dive under its surface and let the hot skin meet with the cool waters. The glint of underwater bodies are revealed to the women that desire immersion in the river's waters, even if their skin never yields to the liquid embrace. The naked bodies, the phantom faces are there for the women, for only ever the tired, restless, caged bird that sees freedom in a tear drop.
She will be called back to the
edges of her family, but not before her body has been immersed
in the cool waters, not before she has seen me, my face, my words
formed on the surface, as I rise from below and take her hand
and say to her,
Her family shall caution her away, the one she loves shall look on her from another world, another room. They shall not reach for her arms until she has sunk them underneath the surface, her cotton sari floating in the river. She writes with words of love and anger. She writes upon the surface of the river with her body. Smoothed by the running waters of the river. Haunting the drinking water, the bathing water, the washing water, the water of the body.

Photo of me playing with the iPad 2 before heading into the office
It's funny how we're giving away a brand new iPad 2 on our website yet I don't have one myself to review. Last night I sought to fix this by venturing into a place called Mong Kok in Hong Kong to buy one. For those who are aware of the iPad 2's official release dates, you would know that Hong Kong is not listed as one of the first countries to get them this Friday. Those on sale in Mong Kok are therefore sold at a premium with markups of up to $300-$400 on the higher spec'd model!

Convenience of Access Not Applicable
Good hotel for a few nights. Good location to stop on the way to the south.
Good location. Nice distance from Ferry for first night stopover.
Location Only part of the rooms are newly renovated and we were two couples who reserved two superior rooms. Only one renovated room was given which did seem to be a superior room and the other room was rather old. I got the wrong impression from the web site. Expected more.
We stayed in the new detached building 400m up the hill. It was fabulous, like staying in someone's newly built mansion. Awesome new design and technology, and an indoor pool. Fantastic.
The restaurant was fantastic a very high standard of food and the staff were very friendly and helpful particularly with French / English translation!
Good room for a family Internet not accessible from room, only lobby
Convenient, prompt service, easy parking Poor lighting in rooms, rather dated, "pink and chintz" decor in public areas.
Well situated in town centre
Good location in the town, bistro and bar excellent. Could have better car parking facilities.
Lovely big room - good food, nice staff
Convinient (at least for us) location in the main square of the small town, reasonable price,there's a restaurant downstairs, though we didn't use it. Stuff was only 'moderately' friendly, rooms were dusty & a bit run down, though still functional & had some nice decorations.
ease of location, Nice area/town, easy reception process and attentive management. large room for 5 people suited our purpose of one night stop over with young family. Ideal for us. Nice continental breakfast worth booking to save the hassle.
Very friendly and efficient staff,comfortable room,reasonable rates and a very good menu choice in restaurant.
Hotel is situated right in the center of the city and only a mile away from the highway. The beds were good. The hotel restaurant is awkward. We had Aldi mixed vegetables (tin for 0,87 ct) in a 23 Euro menu. The sirloin steak (faux filet) could have served as shoe sole. A once and never again experience. The breakfast buffet (6,50 Eur) was modest. A second croissant was strictly denied.
The staff were very helpful ,there was a problem with our room but was resolved immediately by reception.
Lovely building and garden in a tranquil country setting. An excellent restaurant. None
Very atmospheric, quiet.
Good food and comfortable room. Close to autoroute
Quiet location, friendly staff,liesurely pace which our evening meal was presented cmfortable accomodation and certainly an overnight stop I would use again and look forward to.
The room was very nice and cosy. This is a quite place with a very good kitchen. A very nice experience which was recommended by friends.
The quality, flavour and presentation of the food particularly the evening meal was excellent. Pleasant location for a relaxing break for those looking for a balance between 'time out' and 'local/district/region interest' within reasonable travelling distance. The stairs to the second floor were particularly steep and only part railed. this caused my wife some difficulty. We would recommend those with mobility concerns to request a ground floor room where possible. No particular dislikes of note.
Quite easy to find from the autoroute, but far enough away to be set in very pretty, quiet countryside so that we could jear bird song most of the time we were there. Good resturant and plenty of off street safe parking Not an expensive hotel but with two of us eating and drinking it was a far from cheap experience.
Reasonably priced, in a good location for an overnight stop if getting the ferry from Cherbourg. Food was very good. They catered for our baby twins very well. Service was slow at dinner, as was the check out.
Beautiful, peaceful situation
No late keys available. Hotel locked at 11:30

Inputs from the Politics of Today
|That a battle was fought at all at Monterrey,
in September 1846, resulted from personal and political considerations,
as much as military. Planners on each side began by making correct inferences
from an unrealistic evaluation of the terrain in northern Mexico.
Once action seemed imminent, pride and stubbornness drew Ampudia and Taylor
on into the engagement.
Both Santa Anna and Ampudia anticipated that U.S. forces, moving south of the Río Grande, would try to move through a gap in the Sierra Madre (either Saltillo or Tula), then strike for San Luis Potosí, some 200 miles south of Saltillo. Other U.S. forces would try to take the port of Tampico, in order to establish a supply route to the overland operation. Polk, his War Department, and Taylor thought at first in much the same terms.
Santa Anna then, believing that neither Monterrey nor Tampico could
be held successfully, ordered Ampudia to defend the Saltillo gap, while
other forces would defend Tula. Ampudia's original plan recognized
this logic, but it also called for directing guerrilla attacks against
Taylor's forces as they moved toward the Saltillo-Monterrey area.
This tactic of pushing some units out north of Saltillo imposed on Ampudia
certain liabilities. He would have to maintain some kind of cooperation
with the inhabitants of the area, even if they did not cooperate with him.
He began issuing stringent regulations that demanded civilian commitment
to the defense. Soon, though, he was complaining that merchants in
Monterrey wanted to conduct business as usual, and were even cashing bills
of exchange that came in from the Yankees. Outraged, he forgot his own
strategic analysis and proceeded to conduct a strict though brief military
defense of the city.
|After the capitulation, Taylor claimed that
he had lacked enough men to cut off all the routes into Monterrey. While
he might have tried to cut off any Mexican forces in Monterrey, by moving
directly against the Saltillo gap, this could leave him without the force
to operate against the roads from Tampico. As soon as most of Ampudia's
men were gathered at Monterrey. Taylor had some reason to attack the city,
rather than leave Ampudia in his rear while he moved against Saltillo or
Commanders on both sides knew, though they regularly ignored the fact, that the gaps through the northern Sierra led into a wide inhospitable terrain between Saltillo and Santa Anna's headquarters in San Luis Potosí. Any Mexican force operating north of Saltillo, or east of Tula, would be out of touch from day-to-day control by Santa Anna.
While Taylor did later move some forces south toward Tampico, the earlier capitulation was consistent with the ideas of those people in the United States who wanted the Army to take no more than a buffer zone in northern Mexico. It recognized a natural line, across which neither Army could operate with much comfort or security.

BEIJING – Japan's direct investment in China slowed markedly in 2012, reflecting heightened tensions between the two nations, Chinese Commerce Ministry data showed Wednesday.
The data also showed that overall foreign direct investment in China fell 3.7 percent from the previous year to $111.7 billion, the first drop in three years, amid increasing concerns about an economic slowdown and higher wages in the country.
Last year, Japan's direct investment in China increased 16.3 percent to $7.4 billion, with the growth rate sharply lower than the 55.0 percent registered in 2011, according to the data.
Japanese manufacturers had been accelerating moves to transfer production bases from Japan to China due to the yen's appreciation.
But Japanese firms grew concerned about local business risks in 2012, particularly after the central government effectively nationalized the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea by buying three of the five uninhabited islets from their Saitama owner in September.
Japan's direct investment in China is expected to decelerate further, analysts said.

New signage, better route to improve Glassport trail
A designated bicycle trail linking the Great Allegheny Passage in McKeesport with the Montour Trail in Clairton is about to get a more streamlined route and clearer markings in Glassport.
Glassport council on Tuesday approved rerouting the trail known as the Clairton Connector onto the borough's main business thoroughfare, Monongahela Avenue.
The trail has existed for years but it has utilized side streets that run parallel to the business district and require riders to cross Monongahela Avenue several times. The route is marked with signs inaccurately identifying it as the Steel Valley Trail.
"We are looking forward to rerouting it down the main street," said Councilman Dave Kowalski, who believes the revised route can bring new business to the borough. "I'm just glad it's happening and people will have the chance to experience Glassport and visit our businesses."
The Steel Valley Trail Council held a special meeting in the borough last month, attended by trail officials and community leaders from Glassport and Clairton.
Steel Valley Trail Council board member Jim Taggart, who attended the meeting and was at the council meeting, said the changes to the route will benefit the borough and trail users.
"It's a better route," Taggart said. "It goes through the center of the community instead of the back roadways."
Taggart said more signs and road markings indicating the presence of a dedicated bike route will improve safety for cyclists by signaling their presence to motorists.
Signage will be upgraded from the W.D. Mansfield Memorial Bridge to the Glassport Clairton Bridge.
The connector route will go from the Great Allegheny Passage trailhead in McKeesport to an access point for the Montour Trail along Route 837 near the Clairton Municipal Authority treatment plant.
Taggart said the action by council coincides with recent sign improvements along the Montour Trail. There is no firm deadline on when the new signs will be up for the connector route.
Solicitor Gary Matta said the board's approval of the changes is pending his final review of the agreement with the trail council.
Steel Valley Trail Council will provide signs and road stencils. Borough employees will do the stenciling.
The 46-mile Montour Trail runs from Moon township near Coraopolis to Clairton. The Great Allegheny Passage is a continuous 150-mile bike route that goes from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Md., passing through McKeesport. In Cumberland the trail connects with the C&O Towpath, which extends 184 miles into Washington.
