'Ironic' vs. 'ironical'
Merriam-Webster 10, however, does not register this distinction, listing the two as equal variants.
Because the difference in form between 'ironic' and 'ironical' doesn't carry any semantic weight, and neither is widely considered to be an example of substandard/nonstandard/'bad' usage, the choice is theoretically up to a given writer or speaker in determining which form to use. Burchfield suggests that the choice is "governed by the rhythm of the sentence"; it's my conjecture that this is more true in Britain than America, where, it seems to me, 'ironic' clearly prevails in all contexts. I plan to stick with 'ironic,' if for no better reason than not to be laughed off the block. Others can do as they please; but if you come to suffer from the ill effects of using hilarious variant forms, don't say I didn't warn you.

Beijing (AFP) Nov 10, 2010
China's trade surplus grew in October as both exports and imports rose on-year, the government said Wednesday, adding to pressure on Beijing ahead of the G20 summit to let its currency appreciate.
The trade surplus expanded to 27.15 billion dollars in October, customs authorities said, before a Group of 20 summit in Seoul that is expected to focus on rebalancing the skewed global economy.
China's exports increased 22.9 percent in October from a year earlier, totalling 135.98 billion dollars, while imports rose 25.3 percent to 108.83 billion dollars, according to the data.
The figures -- along with US data expected to show a trade deficit of about 45 billion dollars later Wednesday -- were likely to fuel debate over trade imbalances, said Brian Jackson, a senior strategist at Royal Bank of Canada.
"The disparity in global trade balances is the key point that will likely attract attention as senior officials fly in to Seoul for the G20 meeting," Jackson told AFP.
"This stark contrast will likely add to the international pressure for China to move faster on the currency to provide more support to the global economy."
Critics claim the yuan is undervalued by as much as 40 percent, giving Chinese exporters an unfair trade advantage by making their goods artificially cheap.
China set the yuan's central parity rate -- the middle of the currency's allowed trading band -- at 6.6450 to the dollar on Wednesday, the strongest rate since currency reforms began in 2005.
"Imports were lower than market expectations... which showed that domestic demand may not be as strong as imagined," Jason Xu, a Beijing-based economist with China International Capital Corporation, told AFP.
Beijing might respond by allowing the yuan to strengthen at a slightly faster pace against the dollar in the short term, Xu said.
China's top central banker Zhou Xiaochuan has said he rejects any form of "shock therapy" to revaluate the yuan, saying the yuan would move gradually towards an "equilibrium" level.
If the trade surplus stays at current levels, pressure to strengthen the yuan will only increase, said Wang Hui, an analyst at Haitong Securities in Shanghai.
"If the trend continues, this year's total trade surplus will exceed the Ministry of Commerce's preliminary (2010) target of 100 billion dollars, leading to new pressures from other countries," Wang said.
However, the year-on-year export growth figures can be misleading because of their low levels a year ago, warned Kevin Lai, an economist with Daiwa Capital Markets in Hong Kong, adding that exports have been flat since August.
"It looks to me that it was flat again, telling us the rush orders ahead of Christmas have not materialised. So it's not entirely good news," Lai told AFP.
The figures were released as deputy finance ministers preparing for the G20 summit held heated debates in Seoul over currencies and economic imbalances, a South Korean official said.
"Voices were raised," Kim Yoon-Kyung, spokesman for South Korea's Group of 20 presidential committee, told reporters after the talks Tuesday.
"They wouldn't compromise. They actually had to keep the door open because the debate was so heated and we were lacking oxygen."
He said they had agreed Tuesday to adhere to the spirit of last month's G20 finance ministers' meeting, which said countries would avoid "competitive devaluation" of currencies and limit "excessive imbalances".
Larry Summers, head of the White House's National Economic Council, has said he expect G20 leaders to make progress on resolving the world's huge trade imbalances when they meet in Seoul.
Summers said global rebalancing would also benefit China's export-dominated economy, giving it an "attractive" opportunity to rely more on domestic demand and to promote consumer spending.
Shanghai shares were down 0.97 percent in afternoon trading Wednesday, amid concerns that China will face increased pressure to revaluate the yuan.

Park City, Utah (AFP) Jan 23, 2008
Activist Josh Tickell has been using and promoting bio-diesel for about 10 years as an alternative to fossil fuels, helping America lessen its dependence on foreign oil.
In his documentary film "Fields of Fuel," premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this week, he outlines the historical origins of and the political constructs that support petroleum use.
As well, he presents the benefits of bio-diesel, how it can be grown locally anywhere in the world to shift multi-national energy companies' clout to local communities, mustering applause from audiences here.
But not everyone is buying into his message.
Environmentalists continue to push for a reduction in energy consumption as the best way to stem global warming and pollution -- a point he concedes.
"The reality that we find ourselves in is that political power is concentrated, economic power is concentrated due to the massing of control over energy resources (by OPEC)," Tickell said in an interview with AFP.
In his film, Tickell criticizes John Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil Company, for his strategy to halt ethanol use in Henry Ford's first Model T, and he fuels a longstanding conspiracy behind the death of Rudolf Diesel at the height of his engine's popularization.
Diesel disappeared from a ship crossing the English Channel in 1913.
Tickell goes to Carl's Corner Texas truck stop, a new Brooklyn biodiesel plant serving three states, and an Arizona algae-based fuel farm to show real examples of a decentralized, sustainable energy infrastructure.
Bio-diesel, he says, can be pumped into most diesel engines without requiring mechanical modifications, biodegrades in water in about a month, and creates less greenhouse gases than burning gasoline.
He even tastes it in the film.
"The biggest challenge (to using bio-diesel) is a lack of political power," he told AFP. "The system is set up to maintain fossil fuel ... The oil industry may want to change, and the technology is out there, but the obstacle is getting a (consumer) perspective shift."
"The only way that can be done is through government mandated laws that promote green energy," he added, warning of "severe repercussions" if nothing changes.
But critics point to the limited amount of arable land in the world, and say using farmland to grow fuel crops on a massive scale will lead to a spike in food prices, and food shortages.
A Canadian bank has already blamed US efforts to add more ethanol to its gas tanks for driving up food prices while delivering moot energy benefits.
Food inflation would top five percent in 2008 and the following year would approach seven percent, its highest level in more than 25 years, Jeff Rubin, chief economist at CIBC World Markets, predicted in October.
"This diversion of an ever-increasing share of the American corn crop from human consumption and livestock feed to energy production is putting steady and unrelenting pressure on food prices," said Rubin.
Ethanol is used as an additive to gasoline, comprising as much as 20 percent of the fuel mixture in most automobiles. Ninety-five percent of the ethanol produced in the United States is distilled from corn.
The US administration has set a target to raise ethanol production from one billion gallons a year in 2000 to 35 billion gallons a year by 2017.
But even if the United States achieved President George W. Bush's 2017 target, that would only reduce gasoline consumption by an estimated 6.5 percent, Rubin said.
Bio-diesel, Tickell countered, does not have to rely on the same inputs as ethanol. The production process yields more fuel per input than ethanol, and bio-diesel inputs such as algae and switch grass would not have to displace food crops, he said.
"And you quickly get used to the (fried food) smell coming out of your tailpipe," he added.

Texas marked a milestone tonight as the state carried out their 500th execution since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

The inmate executed, Kimberly L. McCarthy, was only the fifth woman to be put to death in the Lone Star State since 1854 and the 13th to be executed nationwide in the past 40 years. The last time a woman was executed was the lethal injection of Teresa Lewis in Virginia on Sept. 23, 2010. The last time a woman was executed in Texas was in 2005.
Updated our executions interactive to reflect today's. 261st under @GovernorPerry, 500th in TX since 1976. http://t.co/iTUDg5y4Gc #txlege
— Ryan Murphy (@rdmurphy) June 27, 2013
McCarthy, who was previously married to New Black Panther Party founder Aaron Michaels, was one of only 10 women on death row in Texas.
She was originally slated for lethal injection Jan. 29th, but received a stay in April, and then another postponement. Her attorneys tried to argue that McCarthy, who is black, received inadequate counsel and was convicted by an almost all white jury. However her appeals have all been denied and
her attorneys have said there will be no stay tonight there were no stays this evening.
@dpfocus Kim McCarthy attorney told us this morning there would be no stays.

McCarthy was sentenced to death for the fatal stabbing and bludgeoning of her 71-year-old neighbor, Dorothy Booth. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas described the crime as follows:
"On July 21, 1997 McCarthy entered the home of her 71-year-old neighbor Dorothy Booth under the pretense of borrowing some sugar and then stabbed Mrs. Booth five times, hit her in the face with a candelabrum, cut off her left ring finger in order to take her diamond ring, and nearly severed her left little finger as well. McCarthy then took Mrs. Booth's purse and its contents, along with her wedding ring and fled in her car. Later, McCarthy bought drugs with the stolen money, used the stolen credit cards, and pawned the stolen wedding ring."
According to the state, the crime was fueled by drugs, as McCarthy had a crack cocaine problem and needed money to buy more. Prosecutors say McCarthy entered the home under the pretense of asking to borrow some sugar. On Nov. 17, 1998, a Dallas County jury found McCarthy guilty of capital murder and after a separate punishment hearing, she was sentenced to death.
While McCarthy's case has not become particularly high-profile, her status as the 500th execution in the state with the most active execution chamber in the nation has drawn attention in the media both nationally and abroad. For comparison, Virginia, the state with the second largest number of executions, has executed 110 people.

Her attorney, Maurie Levin, told the LA Times, "she has become a symbol because she is the 500th execution. Perhaps that is fitting, perhaps that is extra shameful. It certainly should be a reminder to anybody that the system is profoundly problematic and is not one we should be comfortable with."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1718 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A man charged earlier this year in relation to a traffic stop near Virden that led to a $20,000 cocaine bust is now charged in connection with a fatal shooting in Edmonton.
The man was recently arrested at the Brandon jail and has been sent back to Alberta to answer to the murder charge.
RCMP pulled over a 2007 Pontiac G5 at a checkstop near Virden on May 19 and found 250 grams of cocaine in the vehicle. The drugs had an estimated value of $20,000.
Christian Iyamuremye of Estevan, Sask., was charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He was also charged with a number of counts of breaching court conditions.
According to court sources, he was initially denied bail in provincial court on those charges but appealed and was granted release on July 23 after a hearing in Brandon Court of Queen's Bench. While on bail, he was to live in Edmonton.
On Aug. 13, 33-year-old Dale Maloney was gunned down outside an Edmonton restaurant.
The CBC reported that Maloney was shot several times in the abdomen and two men were seen fleeing the scene in a black SUV. Police say the victim didn't know the assailants.
The Edmonton Journal reported that police said the shooting was apparently sparked by a verbal argument that quickly escalated
Maloney was originally from the Goulds area of St. John's, N.L.
On Nov. 8, 23-year-old Iyamuremye was arrested at the Brandon jail on a charge of second-degree murder in relation to Maloney's death on the authority of a Canada-wide warrant. Court sources indicate that Iyamuremye was living in Edmonton while on bail for the drug and breach charges related to the Virden-area bust.
However, he was caught and convicted of breaching his bail curfew on Aug. 30-31 in Edmonton, was sentenced for that and another charge on Sept. 5 and received six days in jail, essentially time spent in pre-sentence custody.
He was then sent back to Manitoba where, on Oct. 29 in Brandon Court of Queen's Bench, the Crown attorney applied to revoke bail.
Bail was revoked but then Iyamuremye was granted release again on similar conditions with a cash deposit of $12,500.
But it appears that he couldn't post the cash required for bail so he was still in custody in the Brandon jail when he was arrested on the second-degree murder charge.
In court on Friday morning, Crown attorney Marycia Kruk requested a six-day remand to ensure that Iyamuremye could be collected by Edmonton police and transported back to that city to face the murder charge.
She indicated that the accused was expected to be on a plane back to Alberta by noon on Friday.
Meanwhile, trial dates have been set in May for the Virden-area drug case.
None of the allegations against Iyamuremye have been proven in court.

Nick Spinelli's normal life as a homicide detective has been catapulted into a whirlwind of chaotic holiday adventures ever since he met the beautiful Shannon O'Hara. Nick had hoped to spend his first Valentine's Day with Shannon in a traditional manner, starting with a nice dinner out on the town and then perhaps a long warm adventurous night in her arms. His plans quickly change when cupid is found murdered in a back alley. The investigation becomes more and more inconceivable, as Spinelli discovers that Shannon is linked to the victim. When another cupid turns up dead, and it is discovered that Shannon knows him as well, Spinelli is motivated to go undercover as a singing valentine dressed as cupid, complete with wings and a quiver of arrows. How many other cupids are at risk? Is Spinelli on the killer's list as well? The stress ignited by the day's events causes sparks to fly between Spinelli and Shannon as he struggles to piece it all together and... More > stop the string of slayings.< Less

- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus 1 tablespoon minced parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced tarragon
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Two 3 1/2-pound chickens
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons hazelnut oil
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon snipped chives
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 cups mâche or mesclun
- 1/2 cup basil leaves
- 1/2 cup celery leaves
- 1/4 cup chervil leaves or flat-leaf parsley leaves
Preheat the oven to 400°. In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone with the minced parsley, thyme, tarragon, lemon zest and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Starting at the neck of one of the chickens, gently loosen the chicken skin, working your hands toward the drumsticks; be sure to leave the skin nearest the cavity opening attached. Spread half of the mascarpone filling under the skin, working it toward the drumsticks. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Repeat with the other chicken.
Put the chickens in a large roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350° and bake the chickens for 45 minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thigh registers 170°. Let stand for 20 minutes, then carve the chickens and transfer to a large platter.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir the hazelnut oil with the orange juice, chives and shallot and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the mâche, basil, celery leaves, chervil and the remaining 1/2 cup of parsley leaves with half of the vinaigrette. Mound the herb salad over the warm chicken and serve right away, passing the extra vinaigrette on the side.

Stockholm, Sweden (SPX) Jul 03, 2013
The IKEA Group, in partnership with O2, has made a new investment in windpower in Sweden. 7 new wind turbines will be built at Ramsberget in the province of Dalarna, which brings the number to wind farms purchased by the IKEA Group from O2 to three, with a total of 46 turbines.
Ramsberget is situated a couple of kilometres as the crow flies from Korpfjallet, where IKEA already owns 9 wind turbines built and managed by O2. O2 is also in process of building a 30-turbine wind farm at Glotesvalen in Harjedalen, which will be handed over to IKEA in 2015. The three wind farms will make IKEA self-sufficient in electricity, supplying all IKEA stores as well as other buildings and operations in Sweden.
"The investment will not only create green jobs and contribute to a more carbon-lean society, it will also give us control of our electricity costs. We are circumventing the established electricity market and will be producing our own affordable, renewable electricity. Our customers will feel the benefit of this in our low prices on home furnishings", says Hakan Svedman, CEO of IKEA Sweden.
O2 is responsible for the development, construction and management of 7 turbines at Ramsberget. Construction work will start in July and the turbines are expected to come on-stream in early 2014.
"This is O2's third contract with IKEA. They are continuing to pave the way and act as a role model for companies which are not part of the traditional electricity market. There are huge benefits in businesses owning their own wind power, not least in the form of reduced environmental impact, long-term financial security and independence", says Paul Stormoen, CEO of O2 Vindkompaniet.
The IKEA Group has allocated SEK 13 billion (EUR 1.5 billion) which will be invested in renewable energy up to 2015, primarily in wind and solar power. At present, the IKEA Group has 137 wind turbines under construction or in operation around the world, as well as over 300,000 solar panels. IKEA expects that the new wind turbines at Ramsberget will produce 72 GWh/year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 16,000 households.
Facts about the Ramsberget wind farm A 7-turbine wind farm will be built at Ramsberget, in the Municipality of Malung-Salen in Dalarna. Permission has been granted for the construction of 11 wind turbines at Ramsberget, but due to the limitations of the electricity grid, 7 turbines will be built at present. The wind turbines selected are Vestas V112s, 3 MW, with a tower height of 119 metres and a rotor diameter of 112 metres.
The wind farm is expected to produce 72 GWh/year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 16,000 households. This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 57,600 tonnes per year (Swedish Energy Agency calculation methods). The estimated average wind speed over the year is 7.7 m/s.
The wind power company, O2, is responsible for the development, construction and management of the wind farm. O2 will start the construction work during the summer, and the plan is to commission the wind farm during the first quarter of 2014. http://www.o2.se/ O

A RIBBLE Valley company has won its second annual award in a row for sustainability.
3M, which has a manufacturing site at Clitheroe, was given the award by Business in the Community (BITC).
The Big Tick award has been presented in the Marketplace Sustainability Leadership category. The award is the first level of accolade in the Responsible Business Awards.
It recognised how sustainability is a way of life for 3M and highlighted the success of its ongoing programmes to reduce energy use and waste.
Managing director Paul Keel said: "Winning a Big Tick award for the second year running is thanks to the continued efforts of everyone across the business. It's very pleasing for us all that these efforts have been nationally recognised by the BITC."
BITC chief executive Stephen Howard said: "All year round, responsible businesses across the UK are contributing towards more resilient communities, stimulating local economies, creating diverse, skilled and healthy workforces and addressing skills shortages — yet these activities rarely get attention.
The Responsible Business Awards shine a much-needed spotlight on the powerful impact of business. I congratulate 3M for its Big Tick reaccreditation, which is a powerful symbol of business doing more to bring about change."
The technology company also runs a 3M 4Good programme in which all employees are encouraged to carry out a day's work each year on environmental and other projects in the community on company time.

Does fat grafting "take" in areas where facial implants are? I am putting submalar cheek implants in but may need some f/g as well. Also if I need to remove implants and scar tissue forms can the area be successfully fat grafted?
Fat Grafting over Facial Implants
Doctor Answers 9
Fat grafting over existing cheek implants
The problem with implants is that as facial fat goes away over time, the implants become more and more visible. They can show an apple-like appearance when the patient smiles.
If the implant has a large submalar component, there develops in the face a large lower bulge in the cheek as facial fat wastes away, creating the illusion of old age (the center mass of the cheek falls with time).
The survival of all grafts will depend on the blood supply around the grafted material. It will also depend on how much of the fat that is transferred is alive.
With fat injection, most of the grafted material is dead. In our practice, we do not use fat injection for that reason. Rather, we use strips of the patient's fat and fascia, disarticulated. We term this LiveFill(R) in our practice. LiveFill is 88% alive when it is transplanted rather than around 20%- 25%. Viability studies vary widely with injected fat, but in general the more precise the method of looking at viability (i.e. glucose uptake), the lower the survival of grafted material.
More often than not, we remove existing implants completely, and replace them with LiveFill grafts. This also enhances the blood supply around the new graft since the bloodless implant is removed. It also enables positioning of the cheek mass not possible with implants.

Fat grafts require blood flow to survive
In order for a fat graft to survive there must be blood flow that re-attaches to it. This is diminished in the area directly next to an implant so the take there might be less. As to the future, it would be possible to re-graft the area but here again, scar tissue and its lower blood supply may affect the take negatively.

Fat grafting over implants generally OK
Fat grafted over implants should do well as long as it is injected into healthy vascular tissue. There is a small risk of infection of the implants.

Fat Grafting works fine over facial implants
Fat Grafting works fine over facial implants. I have done this succssfully a number of times. With continued aging, facial implants become more exposed. Fat transplantation provides a convenient option for covering up the implant. Theoretical blood supply issues have not been a problem in my experience.
Fat grafting over implant
There may be much less surface area of good blood flow around the new fat graft (injection) because of the implant's physical presence. This might decrease the chance of the fat cells living in their new environment. Also there is a very rare chance that a secondary procedure could cause a local infection which might create a need for the implant to be removed.
Fat grafting
It is certainly possible to graft over the implants. However, it seems unusual that you are planning this now. The implants should achieve your goal otherwise you should just proceed to fat grafting as the first step.
Fat Grafting or Injections need a blood suppy to live
You can graft around an implant but it depends on the blood supply around the implant. Typically, around the implant a layer of scar tissue usually forms. Scar tissue is notoriously known for its low blood supply. Bringing fat next to the implant has the potential to live if done right. Over time with the survival of fat around the implant, additional fat grafting can be done there to further increase the volume around the implant. If you remove the implant, the success of fat grafting can be attained but within the scar tissue, the fat has a more difficult time to survive.
This may mean that you will need to do more touch ups to the area. Fat grafting can lead to long term results. It is all about the technique. In my practice, fat does survive and sometimes near 90% of the fat can survive. This is true, so much so, that I need to be careful not to put too much fat in to certain areas. It is easier to put more fat into the area than to take it out.
Facial Implants and Fat Grafting
The situation you describe does not seem problematic to me.
Cheek implants are placed directly on top of the bone, whereas fat grafting is a much more superficial procedure in the cheek and lower eyelid region (typically in the level of the skin fat or muscle directly below the skin). There should not be a decrease in blood supply for the fat to take.
Best of luck!

Through The Gambia: "We have peanuts, so we have peace"Blog posted by bex on Oct 22nd, 2009
Note: this was written last week in Soma, The Gambia, but we've only just been able to post it (from Casamance, Senegal). A fair bit has changed since then – including, possibly, our planned route mentioned here. Another update coming soon.
First off, sorry for the long silence. To make up for it, here's an extra long soundscape so you can listen to what we've been waking up to on a good morning in The Gambia. This one was recorded at dawn in a derelict encampment in Bessi, off The Gambia's southern road, where nature was busily reclaiming the gardens:
The border crossing out of Senegal and into The Gambia was, thankfully, much less exciting than our last border. The town, Karang, consisted of a big market, a handful of money changers and a few dozen chickens pecking at the dirt on the roadside. At customs, three bored-looking men looked up from a newspaper. Their eyes lit up when they saw us. "Now, why don't you tell us everything that is in your bags before we get up to open them all ourselves? I want to know everything. I don't want to find one thing in there that you didn't tell me about."
This – the first threat to search our bags of the trip – unnerved us a little. We're carrying a lot of equipment that might make us look like journalists, and journalism is the last thing you want to be suspected of in The Gambia. Apart from human rights activism. Or witchcraft. (The increasingly brutal President Jammeh apparently believes that all journalists should be killed, recently adding that he plans to kill all human rights workers in The Gambia too. Unfortunately, he's gone some way to achieving his aims – Amnesty International's Fear Rules (pdf) has details.)
Clearly, our best bet was to bore them into defeat by stringing out our equipment list for as long as possible before we had to mention the microphones and cameras. This turned out to be quite fun, in a memory game sort of a way. "Fourteen passport photos," I said. "Eight tent pegs," Huw said. "A zippy bag thing." "Three knives." "Pot grips." "A tea spoon." "Half a chopping board." "A sachet of washing up liquid…"
I think it was the argument over the number of socks that finished them in the end. We were waved on to get our entry stamps and, after a painless procedure involving only two officials, two ledgers, two stamps and one easily evaded request for "something for the station", we were welcomed to The Gambia, panniers untouched.
There, we immediately met Michael, a schoolboy. "Nice bike," we said as he cycled past on a nice bike. "No it is not," he answered. "It is last year's model." We pedalled through the village together, Michael pointing out this and that as we went. A man called out unintelligibly from under a tree. "Don't answer that man," said Michael. "He drinks alcohol." Michael left us at the turn off to his compound and we pedalled on into The Gambia.The Gambia is a little sliver of land – basically a river basin – that was carved out of what is now Senegal in a moment of true colonial idiocy; the British apparently took a frigate up The Gambia River (a major artery for carrying people from Africa's interior to its coast for the trans-Atlantic slave trade), blasted canons from it, and the cannon balls demarcated The Gambia's borders.
Nowadays, it's mainland Africa's smallest country and one of its poorest. According to Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid, 97 per cent of Gambian government budget comes from aid. Aside from aid, it's pretty much totally dependent on peanut farming and tourism.
We stopped at the first shop we saw to celebrate our arrival in a new country with a soft drink and joined a group of young men sitting outside the shop. "How are things in The Gambia?" I asked. One man snorted; the others answered guardedly that things were fine. The conversation moved onto football.
(This kind of exchange was to recur throughout the Gambia; National Intelligence spies are thought to be everywhere. We never explicitly asked about President Jammeh's regime and the only criticism of it that was usually volunteered to us was a muttered "Things were better before 1994″ – the year of Jammeh's military coup. Only once, in the hundreds of conversations we had, did we hear anything more explicit: "There is no freedom here – but I have to be careful who I say that to. People who say that sort of thing have a habit of disappearing. So nobody talks about it. There is no political discussion, even on a low level. So there is no real opposition.")
At the next village, we were joined by Sekou, a teenager, who wanted to help us find the way to Barra's only "hotel": a plastic-sheeted, scantily-clad-ladied place that had stream of single male visitors. It also had a lively bar, and we spent an excellent evening with Sekou, his policeman brother and, later, an exiled former government minister of Sierra Leone, all shouting to be heard over the blaring reggae.
We mentioned that we were enjoying speaking English after seven months of French. Sekou replied that he and his brother spoke seven languages fluently, six of them African. He wanted to learn German and Spanish next. And he wanted to be a doctor. Doctors could live wherever they liked. "I will study in The Gambia," he told us, "then move to Europe", unwittingly summing up in a sentence one of Africa's more insidious problems: a crippling brain drain.
The next morning we reached Banjul, and pedalled straight through it – under the archway we didn't realise only the President is allowed to drive through, past thousands of signs (posted on every lamp post by one of The Gambia's mobile phone companies) of the President's smiling face with "Thank You Mr President" written beneath, past more signs congratulating the President on the anniversary of his military coup, and past others announcing that President Jammeh was turning The Gambia into "an economic powerhouse of the twenty-first century", finally pulling into a beautiful campsite in Sukuta.There, we spent a week route planning and venturing into nearby Banjul, Bakau and Serrakunda to get visas for Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea respectively. We're about to head into the most unstable part of West Africa; strangely, Sierra Leone and Liberia are the two most stable of the next few countries on our route. Southern Senegal's Casamance region suffers from on-off fighting (separatist rebels vs Senegal military). Guinea-Bissau has had both its President and its military leader murdered in the past seven months, possibly over a spat about revenues from the enormous cocaine trade that Colombian drug barons have set up there to supply Europe. And, most worryingly, Guinea had a military coup last year and is now teetering uncertainly after the authorities killed over 150 people peacefully protesting about the leader's intention to stand in the coming election. "Good luck," smiled the man at the Guinean consulate as he handed us our stamped passports.
The Gambia on the other hand is stable. (Some might argue it's too stable; it's only had two leaders since getting independence from Britain in 1965, and the present leader seems to be the worst kind of autocrat.) It has grinding poverty, but it has peace – a prerequisite for any hope of prosperity and a valuable commodity in this part of the world. All along the river Gambia, we met refugees from elsewhere in West Africa, mostly Guinea.
"Sierra Leone, Guinea.. Those countries are unlucky," said one man we met in Banjul. "They have diamonds and gold. We only have peanuts, so we have peace."Because it has peace, the tourists come, including a lot of package tourists. Around Banjul, the collision between tourism and poverty can be messy; sex tourism (middle-aged European women coupled with young Gambian men are a common sight) and "bumsters" (tourist hustlers) are both rife. In between trying to rip us off, the bumsters – and others – recited over and over again: "The Gambia is the Smiling Coast of Africa". But they barely managed to muster a smile when they said it. Our lasting impression of the Banjul area was, sadly, of jaded, tired people.
Finally, we set off upriver with our visas in hand, following the dirt track on the south of the river instead of facing Banjul and the presidential posters again to reach the immaculate northern road. We cycled a series of half days, stopping first at Brikama, where we spent an excellent evening with a Gambian musician who'd lived in Europe for ten years before returning to live in The Gambia: "Africa loves the major keys," he concluded, "and Europe loves the minor keys". He adored Europe and hated Africa and, not for the first time, we found ourselves in a discussion in which an African defended Europe's colonial (and neo-colonial) behaviour while we criticised it, and we defended African people while he criticised them. It's a funny old world.East of Brikama, rural Gambia began. While there were more villages here than in Senegal, there was less in them – less food in the shops, less mains water (but plenty of village pumps) and less electricity (usually none). In other ways, the villages and landscapes were similar to Senegal's: millet and peanut fields; silk cotton trees and termite mounds; trees alive with weaver birds; children's bellies and adult's arms adorned with amulets; village shops forming the centre of village life; and the still confusing alternation between aggressive shouts of "Toubab! Give me money!" and warm welcomes and kindness.
For a long stretch, the dirt road was good – flattened and ready for a new road to be laid on top – and relatively quiet, so we pedalled between peanut farms and rice fields and palms and creeks quite happily, steadily getting covered in a thick red dust. At night times, we found usually-derelict camps to sleep in and, at Tendaba, a wonderfully underelict camp where we spent a few days wandering through the bush and mangrove swamps, relaxing at the bar, meeting a couple of Dutch cyclists and generally recording everything we could hear (still to be edited and uploaded).
We're now in Soma, halfway along the Gambia River, less than an hour away from southern Senegal's Casamance region. From there, we'll be cycling onwards into Guinea-Bissau and Guinea. More soon.

PASSENGER SERVICE MISSES THE MARK: Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by judeems
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Canada & New England
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
We flew from New Orleans nonstop to Newark a day early since we could not determine the exact nature of Celebrity's air program as to getting us to the ship on time. It is a very long and confusing way (with luggage) from the arrival gate to the levels where you catch the train to the main terminal then to the cab stand. The Hilton Hotel Airport is lovely and the restaurant unexpectedly good, but the Starbucks is only open in the mornings. This and most other airport hotels sit far from anything else. They did have an airport shuttle at no cost.
Sailing day, we eagerly loaded up our gear and headed for the ship around 10:00. We caught a taxi and had been told that the fare would be $30.00, but they More failed to tell us that this was per person for a total of $60.00. The cab driver told us many interesting things about the area, almost a tour itself. We arrived at the terminal, which looks out over the river, including Manhattan and the Statute of Liberty, without any problems. There were signs all around the terminal stating that loading would begin at 11:00, so we thought we would not have long to wait. We checked in and received a card showing that we would load fourth on buses. From the terminal to the ship is a long haul and all are required to ride the bus. No one loaded until after 1 and Celebrity personnel never said a word as to the delay. No food or water was provided in the waiting area. We later heard from other passengers who had come from Europe on the ship that it docked late, information that should have been shared with incoming passengers by Guest Relations.
Once we got on board the ship, we were offered wine or juice and invited to lunch in the Seaside Restaurant. Rooms were not ready, so we journeyed on up to have a bite to eat. After lunch, we went to our room and met our room steward, Miguel, who took such good care of us for the entire trip. Our room was small, as we had expected for an inside, but with good storage.
We really enjoyed the Thalassotherapy Pool. This pool is a must do; it's a salt water pool that is great and totally relaxing with areas to recline on as the jets message your entire body. It was tepid instead of warm the first day we tried it and the hot tub was warm, not hot, but that was corrected later in the cruise.
During the entire cruise, the entertainment was among the better we have seen. The singers and dancers and the production shows were superb, the comic Fred Klett far above the usual cruise ship comedian, the magician outstanding, the Australian singer just such an artist. All were great.
After a sea day, we made our first stop at Portland, Maine. This City was a total surprise to us, the people so friendly and helpful. There were many things to see within walking distance of the ship and the hop on - hop off bus is very convenient.
After another sea day, next stop was on Prince Edward Island. A most charming place, we rented a car, drove through the countryside, and had a nice lunch at a small town cafe way back in the woods. Toured the National Park on the north side of the Island, but stayed away from Green Gables to avoid the crowds. Upon our return to the ship, we were dropped off at the north door of a rather long building. Upon entering, we found that the line began at the south end of the building, so we made our way to the end of the line. No problems, everyone stood in the same line, no break-ins or priorities. I point this out because you will find out that later Celebrity wholly failed to provide crowd control.
Sea day and next on our ports was Quebec. We had looked forward to this for a long time and it was not a disappointment. We took the all day tour and recommend it. The bus drove around the walled part of the City, the plains and most of the northern area. The tour guide was great and most knowledgeable. At one of our stops, an amusing and informative skit was given by locals portraying Generals Wolfe and Montcalm as they planned their actions. Lunch was at a small restaurant on Île d'OrlEans where the food was only so-so, chicken breast with no choice of entrees. We also drove around the island and visited an early home, where local period-dressed players showed the house, tools and furniture and the manner of preparing food. Another stop, the spectacular Montmorency Falls, are not to be missed. After the all day tour on the bus, we came back to the old town and walked around it. It was great!
It seemed that all of the bus tours returned at the same time, each with around 50 people on board, so that the line was quite long. This in itself presented no problem; but while we stood in line, people who had walked into town were taken to the front of the line and given priority boarding as they returned. I complained to the security guards who were handling the matter, and to say that they were indifferent would be an understatement. When we got to the gangplank, I again complained to the ship officer in charge, but her response was that she was too busy at that time to do anything, and that I should go to Guest Relations. I did so, and was told to submit my complaint in writing. This I did, but again got no response. On the last day of the cruise, late in the afternoon and after we had reported this on our comment card and asked for a copy, a brief response to the initial complaint was slipped under our door; this appeared to be boiler plate and in all likelihood the same note was given to others. I leave Constellation with the idea that no one really cared what I thought. The solution to these problems is so simple: if you have one line, everyone should get in that line. If for any reason it is determined that two lines are necessary, then there must be two entries. Otherwise someone will become angry and in this case it was me.
Sea day and then came Halifax. When we arrived, we tried to dock, and after several efforts, the ship abandoned these efforts. An announcement was made that because the wind was so high, the ship could not dock, and that we would anchor and tender in. You would think that anyone who thinks straight would wonder at the safety of a small tender in the same wind that is too great for the ship. We did not and we really rocked and rolled to shore and on our return. The worst and most fearful part of the debarkation and reloading was a free-floating, wildly pitching dock where we landed and then had to walk 25 to 50 yards to land. There were no guard rails and no one to hold onto. Later shipboard rumor, true or false, was that some other ships came in out of the weather and took Constellation's berth. Rumor also says that the other ships were given all the tour buses and that none were available to take Constellation passengers. I know that few buses were around where we docked.
Another sea day and off to Bar Harbor. On the way we had a disastrously executed immigration processing. Each stateroom was given a time to report card to the Bar at the End of the World. When we arrived, the line had formed on the port side of the ship and wound around several times to the starboard side. We, like good citizens, took our place at the end of the line. When the doors opened and processing began, others were entering the line from the elevators, from the entry on the port side and up the stairs. No ship crew were in sight to control the process in the hallway, even after a phone call to complain to Guest Relations. People began yelling and cursing one another, with numerous threats, still no ship crew appeared. There was some pushing and shoving. We took pictures of this mob scene. We Marines calls this type of congregation a "cluster", and if you saw the movie Heartbreak Ridge, with Clint Eastwood, you know the meaning. Some who had been among the first to arrive were among the last to enter the room for processing. Once in, we dropped a card at one desk, walked across the room and showed another, all within 30 seconds. On the trip across the room, a ship's officer was standing there advising us to watch our step. Why had he not been out in the hall where there was actual danger of a riot? NOT ONE PERSON EVER CHECKED THOSE CARDS TO SEE IF THE PERSON WHO WAS THERE WAS SCHEDULED AT THAT TIME.
Finally, debarkation was well organized and went smoothly. We had a nonstop flight back to New Orleans at 8:00 that night. When we finally got through the security, we determined to just stay at the airport, read and, fortunately, there were plenty of TVs to watch the football games, a long wait. There were plenty of food options available including a Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlor.
THE GOOD: 1) Our room steward, Miguel, and his assistant, Carlos. 2) Our waiter in the dining room, Odewa, and his assistant, Mags, consistently cheerful and friendly without ever being overbearing. Odewa went out of his way to send items to our stateroom when we didn't feel up to coming to dinner (once for each of us. 3) The excellent music available in the various lounges. 4) The entertainment in the theater. 5) Easily accomplished car rental. In Charlottetown, Hertz deducted our taxi fare to the airport from our rental and provided transportation back to the dock; in Halifax, Hertz was in easy walking distance, and in Bar Harbor Enterprise had a shuttle waiting at the dock and back later.
THE SO-SO: 1) Food selections and quality, which were clearly a step or three down from our previous Celebrity experience. The soups in particular were a disappointment, most being watery and lacking flavor. Both shrimp cocktail and steak have been removed from the alternate menu, although apparently available upon request. 2) Service in the buffet. There seem to be many fewer personnel there, with some trying to cover several food stations and delays in busing tables in the more popular areas.
THE BAD: 1) Dearth of information to passengers. 2)TV channels.The few entertainment programs ran over and over throughout the 12 days, and there was scarce news coverage. Information about weather, seas, etc., was often not updated, i.e., showing the 6am temperature the same as the predicted high for the area. No dining room menu (useful for planning one's evening) was available on TV. Shows, even the production shows, were not broadcast. It appeared that most of the channels were taken up trying to sell something. 3) Food from the dining room menu is supposed to be available from room service during dining room hours. A call to room service got us the reply that this was impossible, but as stated above, Odewa accomplished "the impossible". 4) Time required to deliver room service. 5) The wine stewards, who got to be a nuisance at dinner and on more than one occasion had someone else's wine at our table.
THE UGLY: 1) That mob scene at immigration check. 2) The dangerous tender and unstable dock at Halifax. 3) Others being given priority in a long line because they had not taken a ship's shore excursion at Quebec. 4) Failure by ship's personnel to respond to complaints.
We should be remembering how beautiful and enjoyable Quebec was, how good the entertainment was. Instead, we think that we paid for an upscale experience that was not. Absent some indications that changes have been made, we will not use Celebrity again.
We are sending this to Corporate Guest Relations along with a copy of our comment card given at the ship. Less

Kovacevic: Hurdle is Pirates' heartbeat
CINCINNATI — Clint Hurdle is a difficult man to describe to those who don't deal with him regularly. But I won't lie: I had set out this week to pen what I hoped would be a definitive, detailed, adjective-laced column on the personality of the Pirates' manager.
And I decided against it.
If only because others could do it so, so much better ...
It was June 6, 2008, that Michael McKenry and newlywed wife, Jaclyn, lost Jaclyn's father.
McKenry had been building a bond with his father-in-law, a fervent baseball fan. The couple was devastated. So Colorado's minor league people granted McKenry a two-week break from his Class A Modesto team.
A week later, the phone rang. It was Hurdle, then manager of the Rockies. He offered a kind word and prayer for the deeply spiritual McKenrys.
"I was in A-ball. I was nobody," McKenry recalled during this series with the Reds at Great American Ball Park. "And he takes the time to call us. I can't tell you what that meant."
McKenry's eyes widened.
"That's Clint Hurdle."
A dozen members of the Pirates dined like kings Monday night at a Cincinnati steakhouse. The bill was nearly as hefty as the beef consumed.
Hurdle picked it up. And that's good because it's probably the only way it would have gotten paid.
"There were no players," longtime media relations man Jim Trdinich said. "Clint invited all the rest of us, staff, trainers, equipment guys. ... We're all part of the team to him."
On May 5, late on a Saturday night at PNC Park, the clubhouse was vacated except for Rod Barajas still sitting at his stall. He was doing nothing, really, and the same could be said for his bat. His average had sunk to .133, and he'd somehow played six weeks without an RBI.
Hurdle spotted him from a hallway and pulled up a stool.
"Go home," Hurdle ultimately ordered, per Barajas' telling. "Tomorrow, meet me at the cage. Twenty minutes early."
The next morning, Hurdle eschewed the usual mechanical advice and preached trying a fresh routine. Stand on the other side when waiting. Tap the fence with the bat. Don the cap backward. Anything to change things up.
Barajas hit a walkoff home run in his next game and has batted .365 over the month that's followed.
"I still do it," Barajas said. "Twenty minutes early. Every day."
Andrew McCutchen's stomach hurt, his head was spinning, and his eyes were shot the morning of May 6 at PNC Park. But he approached Hurdle anyway to declare himself ready to play.
He was so persuasive, in fact, that he talked his way ... into an afternoon of watching the TV above the trainer's table.
"I didn't like it," McCutchen said. "But I'll tell you: He cares about you more as a person than a player. Always."
Rene Gayo, the Pirates' Latin American scouting director, typically sees the parent club only when they visit his hometown of Houston. He's so busy bouncing between Dominican sandlots, actually, that his job can seem millions of miles from Pittsburgh.
When Gayo stopped by Minute Maid Park last June, he was summoned onto the field by Hurdle just before batting practice.
"Gentlemen!" Hurdle shouted to players around the cage. "I'd like you to meet Rene Gayo. You won't see him much, but he's a very big part of what we do."
After a little more, the players applauded. Gayo recalled welling up.
"No one had ever done that for me," he said. "That man didn't know me at all. But he knew I was part of the family."
Chris Resop often accompanies Hurdle on the manager's regular visits to the Children's Institute in Squirrel Hill. That's a place for special-needs kids and rehabilitation from major trauma.
"Tough, tough place," Resop said. "But you look at Clint, and he lights up the room. He's got everyone laughing. You can see he loves being there. He loves making those kids smile. It comes from all the way inside."
So does the occasional dagger.
"You'll encounter some situations there that are ... I don't know, I think you go quiet. You don't cry. You just go quiet."
Even Hurdle.
"I've seen Clint go real quiet."
Early in the Pirates' last homestand, a fan seated behind the home dugout was giving Hurdle a vocal beating. Venom, vulgarity and all.
"So Clint's coming back from the mound, he hears all this, and stops on the first step," bench coach Jeff Banister said. "He looks this guy in the eye and yells out, 'Thank you for your passion! We appreciate it!' "
Banister remembered burying his face in his right sleeve so no one could see him laughing. The players within earshot were cracking up, too.
Until they all saw ...
"Clint wasn't laughing. He was serious. He really did appreciate how that fan felt about the Pirates," Banister said. "We all stopped laughing in a hurry."
I couldn't think of better advice, any more than I could have come up with better adjectives.

The new owners of collapsed Worldwide Online Printing have shut stores and merged 11 others to turn the printing business around since salvaging it from administration.
Forty-nine out of 82 franchise stores remain, after three years of restructuring by the new owners.
Group revenue is about $50 million, and managing director Rob Dallimore says franchisees' profitability has improved.
Core to the recovery was a focus entirely on the profitability of the network of stores, he said.
Worldwide Online Printing collapsed after its former private equity owners, Malaysia-based Navis Capital, pursued a high-growth strategy that was derailed by the twin shocks of a downturn in the Australian economy after the global financial crisis and the structural challenges in the printing business.
Store numbers grew from 58 in 2004-05 to 82 in 2009-10 – the same year that Worldwide booked an operating loss.
Mr Dallimore was installed by Navis Capital in late 2009 before Worldwide Online Printing went into voluntary administration in February 2010.
In July 2010, Crystal Printing Solutions managing director Arnold Whiteside – now Worldwide's exclusive supplier – acquired Worldwide out of administration with capital from investors including franchisees, Mr Dallimore and other members of the management team.
Not maintaining a focus on the core of the business, in Mr Dallimore's view, had led to the group unravelling, in conjunction with the timing of the growth strategy. Several franchises had become unprofitable at the same time that the printer was expanding.
Chief executive of turnaround specialist Vantage Performance, Michael Fingland, said that in his experience, 80 per cent of struggling companies needed to return to what they are good at.
"It's uncanny how regular this is," Mr Fingland said.
Mr Dallimore first joined the Perth-based printing business in 1997, when it was still a start-up, and became a minor shareholder.
He sold out to Navis Capital along with other shareholders in 2005. He said the business was profitable at the time of the buy-out.
Mr Dallimore watched the expansion and subsequent collapse from a distance. Stepping back into management, his past relationships with franchisees have been crucial in convincing them to trade under the Worldwide name.
Worldwide placed fifth in the 2012 Top Franchise awards run by franchise consultancy 10 Thousand Feet. The awards are based on improvements in franchisees' earnings. It was the first franchise to place in the awards after emerging from administration, said 10 Thousand Feet head of Intelligence Ian Krawitz. "We've never seen somebody who's been in that situation, turn it around."

Lately I've been using m0n0wall as my house's internet gateway router.
It's been working great for my needs, especially since it's the first
gateway I've found that has a straightforward, yet powerful traffic
However, when doing simple web browsing in Firefox on the same client
machine that is running utorrent, I get serious performance
degradation. This is not a problem with me saturating my upload; my
latency in other applications is extremely low and there are no
browser performance issues from other machines on the network when
utorrent is running.
After some searching around, I found this:
http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=8625. I followed the advice
to allow fragmented packets through on the port that utorrent is using
and that has solved certain other issues (such as an incorrect torrent
status in utorrent) but it seems to have had no impact on performance.
It's also interesting to note that I can do other applications from
this same client machine with no performance issues, it just seems to
be some peculiarity with Firefox. For example, I can play TF2 with
~10ms latency to nearby servers while utorrent is running. But http
takes forever to load pages. This is very perplexing to me.
The m0n0wall box is pretty much at the lowest end of the spectrum: p2
233 with 192 MB of RAM, but if underpowered hardware were the cause, I
would assume that the other clients on the network would be having the
same problem.
This is running utorrent 1.7.7, m0n0wall 1.233, and Firefox 3.01 in Windows.

Fishermen say thousands of Eider ducks are now living on their mussel beds in The Wash bordering Lincs and Norfolk.
As a protected species they cannot be culled but consume up to 2.5kg each time they visit the mussel beds.
Matthew Mander of Eastern Sea Fisheries admits the birds are a nuisance but says culling is not an option in the short term.
A machine designed to keep the Eider ducks off the mussel beds in The Wash has, so far, proved to be ineffective and the birds are taking advantage.
As quickly as the fishermen seed the beds with new stock they are stripped by thousands of diving Eider ducks.
John Lake, a Wash shellfish farmer, said: "They feed 24/7 eating about 2.5 kilos and then come back for more."
"Some of the ducks are now so fat they cannot take off from the water after feeding."
Matthew Mander said: "The ducks are destroying the viability of the Wash mussel industry.
"It was bad in 2004 but even worse this year and the fishermen are now claiming it has reached a point where it is threatening their livelihoods as well as affecting the environment, structure and sustainability of the industry."
An evaluation of the problem is under way and the fishermen have applied to DEFRA for permission to cull the birds.
Fears of fishermen
Chris Durdin of the RSPB said: "An intensive mechanised shell fish industry is incompatible next to one of the most important areas in the UK for bird conservation."
Trials are underway to find a way for the industry to live comfortably alongside the birds and this might mean compensation for fishermen or a cull.
The fishermen fear that the large flocks of ducks may strip the mussel beds and then start on the cockles which live in The Wash as their staple diet is shellfish.
Conor Donnelly, English Nature's maritime conservation officer, said: "The latest surveys undertaken this week have shown 3,000 birds using the mussel beds.
"Eider aren't feeding 24/7 but confining feeding to low water when the mussels are covered by shallow water and the birds can feed quickly and efficiently by up-ending like dabbling ducks.
"The amount of mussel eider feed on depends on the size of the mussel and their energy requirements, and can range from less than 1kg per day to about 2.5kg."
The Wash is the most important wetland in the UK for waterbirds supporting an average population of more than 300,00 over winter.
