Yuffie jumped out in front of you with a stern look on her face. She held her fists close to her face and began almost cheering you on. "Are you ready to do this? Are you ready to make the girls look good? Are you ready to play this game? Then get up there and get started already."
"Well then my dearest Yuffie, I do believe you've had just about enough coffee for this week. You might want to calm down just a little tiny bit, I think you're scaring Aerith." You stood to your feet and gave her head a little pat before walking up to the hat and pulling out a long black sash. "I got a thing." You weren't quite sure what it was, so you waved it above your head like a banner, waiting for someone to claim it.
The owner of the item caught the free end in his hand, pulled it from your grip and wrapped it around his waist. "Let's go." Weiss slowly walked to the closet as he finished tying his sash. He was paying absolutely no attention to you at all. Because of this, he didn't notice you knock over the hat and spill the items all over the floor.
You tried to quickly pick up the items and join him, but you just kept making a mess. Finally Yuffie Shooed you away and cleaned it up herself. When you finally made it to the closet, Weiss was already sitting on the floor with his arms crossed, wearing a very bored expression. "Sorry it took me so long. I kind of made a little mess out there and was trying to clean it up."
He leaned against the wall and shrugged. "That's alright, I'm in no hurry."
"Oh, well that's good then." You slammed the door behind you and attempted to sit down. "Man, we need a little night light in here or something. I can't even see my hand in front of my face." With your eyes taking longer to adjust than you would have liked, you gave up on getting close to him and just sat down where you were. "I still can't see anything at all, not even a little bit. So you're going to have to take the lead here."
"Take the lead?" Weiss knew exactly what you were saying, but he was completely uninterested in doing what you had in mind. After a moment of silence, he let out a very quiet, very short chuckle. "No, I don't think so."
"Well fine then, I'll just have to come to you." Lowering your hands to the floor, you began to crawl towards where you thought Weiss was seated. "You're making this very difficult you know, you could at least give me some hint as to where you are."
"Now why would I do that?" There was a cold undertone to his misleadingly calm voice. "After all, I do find this to be much more entertaining."
"I don't. But if you could just keep talking, I might be able to have some fun as well." It would have been better had you not said anything. Now that Weiss knew you were using his voice to locate him, he stopped talking entirely. "Are you serious? Man you are seriously evil. I just want one little kiss. Unless of course the first one goes well, then there can be more than one kiss. That's not the point though. The point is that if I can't find you, I won't even get one kiss."
Weiss broke his silence only to say one sarcastic sentence. "How very sad."
Something wasn't right. His voice sounded like it was coming from above you. "You're standing, I can tell. A-are you walking away from me as I get close to you? You are aren't you? You're even more evil than I thought."
The door opened before you had even managed to find him. Now able to see, you realized it was just as you thought. He had been standing up and moving around the whole time in an attempt to avoid you. "So, I'm thinking that this looks pretty weird. I don't want to know what was going on in here, just let yourselves out whenever the weirdness is over." Yuffie walked away, leaving the door open.
Weiss walked out of the closet without giving you so much as a glance. "You come back here, we're not through. We haven't even started yet." Though you tried to chase him down, you kept tripping over your own two feet. Knowing there was no way you'd catch him now, you threw your fist in the air and yelled after him. "This isn't over Weiss! I will find you, and I will get my kiss."

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
Blast is a Blast
Also see Richard's recent review of Let's Talk About Me
The American Musical Theatre of San Jose is presenting as its season opener the extravagant Tony Award recipient (for "Best Special Theatrical Event" of 2001), Blast. This should not be considered a Broadway musical but an event such as Riverdance or Stomp. On opening night, I did not know what to expect since I had a certain amount of anxiety about seeing a brunch of young college men and women performing two hours of music on brass and percussion. However, from the first number, a fantastic arrangement of "Bolero," to the final, Malagueña," I was blown away. Every number is a crowd pleasure. There is nonstop excitement in the two hour period. Take a pinch of Riverdance, a bit of Stomp, a dash of Kodo drummers and a US marching band and you get the quintessence of Blast.
In this production, fifty-four eager twenty-somethings carry on like crazy up on the stage; there are acrobatic dancers and great soloists on trumpet, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn, snare drums and marimba to keep the excitement going. The energy level is simply amazing. The group draws its musical inspiration from the classics, blues, jazz, rock and roll and even Broadway.
Blast starts out with one drummer standing center stage as you hear the beat of Revel's "Bolero." He is soon joined by a stageful of musicians who match expert playing of the piece with amazing movements. The Revel piece ends with a thunderous crescendo from the entire marching band. This is a breathtaking opening. Another great performance is that of Frank Sullivan who plays featured trumpet in the "Everybody Loves the Blues" sequence. Nicholas E. Agelis and Christopher "Kit" Chatham are astounding on the snare drums in the Battle of the Drums. Copland's "Appalachian Spring" is beautifully arranged with the dancers flying multicolored flags.
The second act has the hilarious "Gee, Officer Krupke!" from West Side Story. Almost every instrument is played by various members of the orchestra, including some "oom pah pahs" from a tuba, a zippy xylophone, and there is even a tiny accordion. Some of the scenes, such as "Color Wheel," are lovely and give the audience a brief respite from the more spectacular pieces. "Lemontech" is a lively techno-pop piece, and the show ends with the whole company playing and dancing to "Malagueña." Following the thunderous applause, the group leaves the stage to go out into the lobby to great the folks.
The choreography is by Jim Moore, George Pinney and Jonathan Vanderkolff, and most of the dancing is done in simple geometric patterns with some basic ballet steps and postures. The set design is also interesting, especially when the back curtain raises and you see a checkerboard on the order of Hollywood Squares. This back set reveals five cabinets of percussion players working on drums, gongs, chimes, bells and some members of the xylophone family.
Blast keeps evolving, twisting and flashing to the end. There is never a dull moment. It's a shame that Professor Harold Hill never saw the likes of this band. He would be mighty proud of these boys and girls.
Blast runs through September 22 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, 255 Almaden Blvd, San Jose. For tickets call 888-455-7469 or visit www.amtsj.org.

Speaking to George Stephanopoulos of ABC, Paul Ryan said that the Affordable Care Act should be repealed because rights come from "nature and God," not government. First Victoria Kennedy, widow of Sen. Kennedy, told Stephanopoulos, "[Sen. Kennedy] believed that it was a moral issue, that it defined the character of who we were as a society, who we were as a country, and that decent quality, affordable health care should be a fundamental right and not a privilege." To this Ryan pledged to repeal the entire law, falsely stated that the reform was a "government takeover" instead of a reform of private insurance and presented reasoning that any theocrat would love. Watch:
RYAN: I think this at the end of the day is a big philosophy difference. What Ms. Kennedy and others were saying is that this is a new government-granted right. We disagree with the notion that our rights come from government, that the government can now grant us and define our rights. Those are ours, those come from nature and God, according to the Declaration of Independence — a huge difference in philosophy.

Miami Marlins shell Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals
MIAMI (AP) – Pitching in air conditioning, Stephen Strasburg nonetheless soaked his jersey with perspiration after a couple of innings.
The first-place Washington Nationals have reason to start sweating.
Strasburg gave up a career-high seven runs in five innings Tuesday as the Nationals' losing streak reached five games when they were beaten by Ricky Nolasco and the last-place Miami Marlins 9-0.
BOX SCORE: Marlins 9, Nationals 0
MORE: National League roundup: Pirates crush Cards
"I'm sure there's not a pitcher in the history of baseball who has gone out there and done it every single time," Strasburg said. "I struggled for pretty much the whole game. It's a learning experience for me."
Nolasco (10-12) allowed five hits in his third career shutout and eighth complete game. The shutout was the first for the Marlins at their new ballpark.
The Nationals began the night with baseball's best record, but they're saddled with a losing streak that matches their season high.
"We've played really good 90% of the year," manager Davey Johnson said. "We're in a rough spot here. That makes the metal hotter. The tougher it gets, the stronger you get, so we'll be fine."
Strasburg (15-6) came into the game with a streak of 27 consecutive scoreless innings against Miami in five starts since last September. But he gave up a homer to his second batter, Justin Ruggiano, and trailed 5-0 by the third inning.
Strasburg shrugged off the significance of the drenched jersey, but Johnson said it was telling.
"He was fighting himself a little bit," the manager said. "He gave up more hits than he's used to giving up. … He's such a perfectionist, when he gives up a hit he's going to be upset. That's part of the maturation process for a young pitcher."
Strasburg is expected to make perhaps four more starts before the Nationals shut him down for the year to protect his surgically repaired elbow. The drubbing doesn't change that plan, Johnson said.
Strasburg said the Marlins adjusted to his inside fastball and didn't try to hit the ball the other way.
"They had a little different approach this time, and I didn't make the adjustment," he said. "I just kept trying to do the same thing."
The young right-hander, who had won his past four starts, allowed five earned runs and gave up nine hits to match a career high. He struck out only three but leads the NL with 186 strikeouts.
Nolasco struck out five, walked none and lowered his ERA to 4.78. He retired 14 in a row and held the Nationals hitless until Kurt Suzuki singled with two outs in the fifth.
The complete game was his second in the past three starts.
"Anytime you're rolling like that, you want to finish it off," Nolasco said.
Ruggiano had a career-high four hits in four at-bats and drove in two runs, while Giancarlo Stanton added three hits and three RBI. Seven of the Marlins' runs scored with two outs, and they totaled 13 hits.
Ian Desmond (hamstring strain) and Michael Morse (hand inflammation), both sidelined last weekend with injuries, returned to the Nationals' lineup but went hitless.
"The good news about that one," Johnson said, "is it was only 2½ hours."
The Marlins scored twice off Strasburg in the first inning. Ruggiano hit his 13th home run. Carlos Lee doubled with two outs, then came home on a broken-bat single by Stanton.
Miami added three runs in the third. Bryan Petersen led off with a single, stole second, took third on a groundout and came home when second baseman Danny Espinosa mishandled a grounder for an error. Greg Dobbs' two-out single brought home two unearned runs to make it 5-0.
Ruggiano had a two-out RBI single against Strasburg in the fourth.
"He's the toughest I've faced in a game as far as overall stuff," Ruggiano said. "Hopefully he's tipping his cap to us, because I think we all had a good approach to him."
Donovan Solano drove in the final run against Strasburg, extending his hitting streak to 11 games with a two-out RBI single in the fifth that made it 7-0.
"Any team wants to come out and make a name for themselves off Stephen Strasburg," Desmond said. "The guy is one of the best pitchers in the game, and they're not just going to lay down for him."

James Fulton1* and Benjamin Van Mooy21Baylor University
2Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
*Lead-PI and former postdoc in Van Mooy Lab.
Deserts are a critical end-member in biome reconstructions used to help constrain our understanding of paleoclimatology. Yet given the lower fossilization potential for desert plants and animals, direct paleontological evidence of climate change is much less abundant from arid environments than from other terrestrial ecosystems. However, following the model of wind-blown pollen, potentially continuous sedimentary records can be derived from small eolian particles carrying molecular biomarkers. We posit that one such molecule is scytonemin, a pigment that is produced by cyanobacteria in desert microbiotic soil crusts to protect against UV exposure. We have recently published a mid-Holocene record of sedimentary scytonemin from the Black Sea, and stable isotope analysis supports a desert microbiotic soil source for these molecules. Furthermore, this record coincided with 7-methylheptadecane, which is also enriched in desert microbiotic soil cyanobacteria. We recently conducted a pilot study of scytonemin in Great Salt Lake sediments and found a similar signal recorded by a scytonemin degradation product, suggesting that scytonemin is a representative tracer of cyanobacteria in desert microbioitic soil crusts. Thus, we hypothesize that scytonemin is an aridity indicator, with increased accumulation when deserts expand and cyanobacteria-dominated microbiotic soil crusts become more prevalent.
We propose developing scytonemin and 7-methylheptadecane as molecular biomarkers to reconstruct records of past aridity in the late Quaternary and deeper into the Phanerozoic.
We plan to address four overarching questions:

On the Go is light enough to carry on a picnic, but sturdy enough to last. Some people have reported using their On the Go set for four years and counting! About Preserve Preserve makes stylish, high performance, eco-friendly products for your home. As a company, they strive to combine socially and environmentally responsible business practices with groundbreaking design to create products that people feel good about having in their homes. They believe that choosing eco-friendly products doesn't mean having to sacrifice quality, price, or performance. In 1996, founder and president Eric Hudson was committed to the need to use our earth's resources more efficiently and responsibly. The developing plastic recycling market represented a great new opportunity to reuse our earth's resources (plastics are made from oil and natural gas—making up roughly 9% of the world's petroleum usage). However, at the time that Preserve was formed, there was a lot of concern that recyclables were not necessarily turning into new products. Seeing an opportunity, Eric started Preserve to reuse Earth's precious resources and turn them back into products that people wanted. He worked with dentists, scientists and engineers to create Preserve's first high-quality product from recycled plastics—the Preserve Toothbrush. Since then, Preserve has grown into a dynamic, green lifestyle company offering a range of everyday products for almost every room in your home. Using innovative methods, we turn used materials into razors, colanders, cutting boards, tableware and more! As Preserve grows, their core principles remain the same: Preserve products are made from 100% recycled plastics and 100% post-consumer paper. By using recycled materials, we save energy, preserve natural resources and create an incentive for communities to recycle. All of their plastic products are recyclable, either through our postage-paid labels and mailers (toothbrushes and razor handles) or at the curb in communities that recycle #5 plastic. They make their products in the USA, so that thye can ship them shorter distances, using less fuel and limiting their environmental footprint. They don't test on animals. Period. Preserve products are made to last—and to look good doing it. The Preserve team is made up of 11 people and a host of talented interns who bike, walk, train, and drive (some in hybrid cars) to the office outside of Boston intent on bringing Preserve and our mission into more homes everyday. Preserve's Process Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Those are the principles that have driven their company since 1996 and that motivates them to encourage more households to choose our 100% recycled and recyclable products over conventional products.Their plastic products are made from #5 polypropylene plastic collected from individuals via their Gimme 5 program and from companies like Stonyfield Farm. They take this plastic, sort it, clean it, test it, recycle it, and turn it into new Preserve products. Choosing Preserve Plastic (in the form of a toothbrush or razor, for example) means a sizeable reduction in greenhouse gases emitted, and significantly less water, energy, oil, natural gas, and coal used in making plastic. These numbers were derived from average data for the US, so there are likely differences between Preserve's specific recycling processes and the industry average. There are many assumptions involved when calculating environmental impact, such as machine efficiency, the types of trucks used to transport the plastic to be recycled, and how full those trucks are. Preserve reduced these numbers by 20% for Preserve Plastic to account for these differences. Preserve is confident in these numbers since their recycling process is founded on their steady and reliable recycled polypropylene stream.

Anderson's big second half paces RMU in opener
Karvel Anderson was having one of those quiet games.
But midway through the second half, the Robert Morris slick-shooting senior guard came alive.
With his team clinging to a five-point lead, Anderson scored the Colonials' next 10 points in 1:37 span to help Robert Morris pull away for an 86-66 victory against Savannah State on Saturday at Sewall Center.
Anderson scored 18 of his game-high 21 points in the second half and finished with five 3-pointers.
"I was a little tentative in the first half," Anderson said. "But I feel when you get into a zone, the rim looks like the ocean. My teammates kept getting me the ball."
Senior center Mike McFadden had 12 points and nine rebounds, and junior transfer guard Charles Oliver each had 12.
Robert Morris improved to 20-18 in season openers and is 3-0 under coach Andy Toole in home openers. Savannah State (0-2) opened its season Friday with a loss at Pitt.
"It was a very good performance from all the guys," Toole said. "Everyone who played contributed. I felt we were very unselfish offensively as well defensively."
The Colonials led only 34-31 at halftime but outscored the visitors 52-35 in the second half, and Anderson was the reason.
With Robert Morris up 47-45 with 13:36 left, Anderson led a 14-6 run to open a 61-51 lead.
"He hadn't been shooting the 3 well in practice. He was shooting more mid-range jumpers," Toole said. "He started to hesitate after he missed a couple shots, so I grabbed him and told him to shoot the ball and be aggressive.
"He has to be hunting shots, and when he saw the ball go in the basket, he became more aggressive."
When Anderson was struggling in the first half, two transfers stepped up. Oliver and Desjuan Newton each hit two 3-pointers to help keep Robert Morris in the lead.
The Colonials were 11 for 21 from beyond the arc.
"Coach told me to be shot-ready," Oliver said. "That's my role. I'm comfortable coming off the bench."
Oliver transferred from Lakeland Community College where he averaged 19.3 points per game. He also spent a year at Rider.
There were a lot of things that made Toole happy. The Colonials only had nine turnovers and recorded 15 assists, and they held a 46-36 edge in rebounding.
"This was better than I anticipated because it's so new to a lot of players," Toole said. "Mike (McFadden) played solid and was pretty active."
Joshua Montgomery led Savannah State with 14 points, Keierre Richards added 12 and Alante Fenner 10.

That hysterical bigot Santorum is at it again. He claims that if the BSA stops banning gays at the national level, the organization may cease to exist. He also claims that this is an example of liberals trying to remove God from all areas of public life - funny, I haven't seen where anyone has asked the BSA to ban religious kids from scouting (although as Grisham pointed out, they can still ban atheists).
If overturning the ban does lead to the BSA ceasing to exist, it will be because of bigots like Santorum. who are too ignorant to realize that that gay men aren't interested in little boys any more than I am. Being sexually attracted to men does NOT equate into being sexually attracted to little boys.
I wish fanatics like this could be forced to actually learn facts for once.

Junk lawsuits cost Texans jobs and damage our economic growth. Texas needs a civil justice system that discourages frivolous and meritless lawsuits while at the same time allows plaintiffs to be fairly compensated and defendants to get a fair day in court. I will fight to protect and strengthen the historic civil justice reforms that have been enacted by our conservative majorities in the Texas Legislature and signed into law by Governors Bush and Perry. These reforms have made Texas a beacon state and they must be preserved to create even more jobs for Texas.

A furious judge gave a lawyer a public dressing down for looking like "something out of Harry Potter" in court.
Judge David Wynn Morgan tore into legal advocate Alan Blacker who bears a striking resemblance to Hagrid in the Harry Potter films.
Mr Blacker had sewn a set of ceremonial St John Ambulance medals on his left breast along with colourful ribbons, reports Wales Online.
Judge Morgan told him: "If you want look like something out of Harry Potter you can forget coming to this court ever again."
"I have been practising in these courts since 1978 and I have never seen a barrister or solicitor appear before these courts wearing a medal or with badges sewn onto his gown.
"Here in South Wales we had a barrister, who later became a judge, who had won during the Battle of Normandy the highest order of gallantry in a Victoria Cross.
"Did you ever see him wearing a medal? He would have considered it the height of vulgarity for such a thing to be done.
"If you ever appear before this court again dressed as you are I shall exercise my right to decline to hear you."
Self-styled barrister Mr Blacker goes by the full name of Dr The Right Honourable The Lord Harley of Counsel of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.
Mr Blacker's extraordinary dressing down happened at Cardiff Crown Court where he was representing a minibus driver accused of causing death by dangerous driving.
After the trial Judge Morgan questioned Mr Blacker's right as a solicitor advocate to wear the robes and wig of a barrister during the trial and asked whether he was a member of the law society.
Mr Blacker, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, explained he earned the title Lord Harley by inheriting an ancient Irish peerage from his father and was a fully qualified solicitor advocate allowed to wear the robes of a barrister.
Mr Blacker lists an extraordinary number of qualifications, languages and society memberships on his LinkedIn professional networking web page.
It carries glowing testimonials which describe him as the "Mozart of the courtroom" and "almost a national treasure".
And he also states he is fluent in Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Hindi, and the Luo language of Kenya and Tanzania.
He says he has been a member of nearly 30 different societies, including the Society of Model and Experimental Engineers, the Institute of Mental Health Act Practitioners, the Royal Artillery Association, the Zoological Society of London and the Ulster Historical Foundation.
He also claims to have more than 30 different certificates.
After the case Mr Blacker said: "My qualifications, status and offices were brought into disrepute and I was personally very upset by the comments made towards me.
"I am shocked to the core that my position has been questioned - which is I feel reflective of the sacrifice of thousands of men who have died for the freedoms that are referred to in the title of Lord Harley for almost 1,100 years.
"For his Honour to have criticised me in such a way has hurt me deeply.
"I cannot say any more for legal reasons but I am deeply upset for what I consider were baseless and unjustified comments.
"I asked to see the judge in his chambers afterwards and he declined and now I have to take advice on the matter.
"My bona fides are beyond any reproach."
Mr Blacker's client, minibus driver Andrzej Wojcicki, 45, was jailed for five years after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
Polish-born Wojcicki was looking at photographs on his mobile phone when he collided with cyclist Owain James, 30, at Newbridge, South Wales.

Majority of smokers started off smoking in their car or a buddies car because you had nowhere to go to smoke. Paranoia was always a big factor in those days. I used to think every car was a cop or my parents when I was young. As much as I love driving around and smoking, I hate it. The fact that you can be popped at any point just makes me cringe. So I have put together a list of some of the safest places to light up, relax, and not worry about anything besides how high you're gonna get.
1. Colorado
Sean Azzariti was the first person to buy re-legal marijuana in Colorado. Video and photos of him were all over the web. If you can buy marijuana like that in Colorado, It's definitely one of safest places to smoke in the U.S.
See Also: 15 Things You Need To Know About Legal Marijuana In Colorado
2. Washington
Initiative 502 lead to the re-legalization of marijuana in the state of Washington. Although, Washington isn't as far as Colorado is with marijuana shops. It is still legal within the sate. Seattle does have the biggest Hemp Fest in the U.S.
3. Uruguay
Uruguay is the first country to take action in marijuana legalization. They legalized it country-wide. Then they set the price of a gram at $2.50. I've never been to Uruguay but I assume, you get what you paid for. Along with the $2.50 grams, the President of Uruguay is pretty damn cool.
4. 420 Treehouse
The 420 Treehouse is a BYOW bar in Los Angeles. More info here.
5. Amsterdam
Do I need to explain this? You know, I know and we both want to be there. Some of you have and I'm jelaous of you for that.
6. Inside Your Home
Some of the best times are just sitting on the couch or in the garage burning down joints without having to worry about anyone seeing you. You're also home and can do things like play Call of Duty and watch movies. A stoners paradise.
7. Concert
I have yet to be at a concert where there isn't at least a little bit of marijuana smoke floating around. I've been to rap, rock, and heavy metal concerts. Not one concert was smokeless. It's great how a concert pulls so many different pot smokers together. What makes it so safe is that there is so many people smoking that the police or security doesn't do anything. I was at a concert where a security guard came up to my friends and I and said, "Lets go." I told him I wasn't going anywhere. I told my friends to do the same knowing he really can't do anything. But my friends said okay and he took them and not me. Unless a cop walks up to me about smoking at a concert I will not be leaving. But the chances of that happening are slim to none.
8. Marijuana Rally
We've all seen the pictures or have been part of a marijuana rally. I was at the Hash Bash last year and there was 100's of people smoking. I did not see one arrest the whole day. Everyone was calm and I didn't see any problems like the police walking around. Why isn't legal yet again?

9. The Country
When you smoke in the country or mountains, you don't need to worry about the police. Most cities where there is lots of land have very few police officers. This makes growing and more importantly, smoking nugs.
10. Bonfire
The biggest reason this is so safe is that the scent is so strong. It takes away the smell of weed very easily. It's always awesome to get high and watch a big fire.
11. On a Boat
Like the country, the boat works the same. Drive out into the middle of the lake and you can do just about anything. Barely anyone is around you. You can smoke out there and no one would ever know it is you.
12. Rooftops
By the time the cops get up there all of the evidence will be gone. Plus who doesn't love a view while smoking.

Parts of Britain could be basking in the highest temperatures of the year so far, forecasters have said, as the sun continues to shine on the south east.
Those living in the south east of England are expected to enjoy bright conditions after overnight showers, with sunshine, temperatures up of 26C and humidity making clear summer is on its way.
The weekend saw a maximum temperature of 25.4C in Gravesend, Kent, with a further rise on Monday, likely to break the record for 2014 so far, set at 26.3 at Heathrow last month.
Other parts of Britain will not be so lucky in the coming days, with thundery showers and heavy rain in the north and west.
Meteorologist Emma Sharples described the mixed weather as "a bit chaotic at the moment", with an "erratic band" of showers moving north.
A band of high pressure, expected to move into the south on Wednesday, is likely to see calmer, drier conditions later in the week.
The Met Office forecast for the UK for Monday reads: "Another mostly dry start, with sunny spells. However showers will develop and become more frequent and heavy by afternoon, perhaps with thunder. Feeling warm and humid, especially in the southeast."
The outlook for the week ahead continues: "Breezy with sunny spells and occasionally heavy showers on Tuesday, perhaps thundery especially in the north and west. Drier with variable cloud Wednesday and Thursday, although rain possible across the northwest."
Fears of widespread flooding over the weekend were largely proved unfounded, although bands of rain did hit those attending Derby Day in Epsom, and the Parklife Weekender music festival in Manchester's Heaton Park.
Emma Sharples, from the Met Office, added showers overnight would clear to allow temperatures to "equal or better the highest of the year so far", adding: "Although nothing is certain in weather forecasting."

Consumers claim $33M in erroneous vehicle tax credits
About 20% of federal tax credits claimed for alternative and plug-in electric vehicles during the first seven months of 2010 were erroneous, costing U.S. taxpayers more than $33 million, the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration said Thursday.
The tax credits are designed to encourage consumers to buy energy-efficient vehicles, such as General Motors' Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf, which typically cost more than conventional gas-powered vehicles. The Obama administration recently announced plans to have 1 million advanced-technology vehicles on the road by 2015.
Taxpayers who purchase eligible vehicles can receive a tax credit worth up to $7,500. The inspector general's report found, though, that most of the erroneous credits were claimed for vehicles that weren't eligible for the tax break. Ineligible vehicles owned by taxpayers who claimed the credit included the Hyundai Sonata, the Buick Enclave and a bicycle, the report found.
READ THE REPORT: Erroneous plug-in electric and alternative motor vehicle credits
DRIVE ON: More tax credits for electrics?
The report also found that 29 prisoners received a total of $49,926 in vehicle credits even though they were in prison at the time they claimed them.
The report said the IRS lacks adequate procedures to ensure that information provided by individuals claiming the credits met qualifying requirements for vehicle year, placed-in-service date, and make and model. The inspector general's review of electronically filed tax returns also identified individuals who erroneously claimed the same vehicle for multiple plug-in electric and alternative motor vehicle credits or claimed an excessive number of vehicles for personal use credits.
In its response to the report, the IRS said it agreed with the inspector general's recommendations and has already implemented measures to address some of the problems in the report. In a statement, the IRS said it took "immediate action to put additional protections in place to stop improper vehicle payments." The IRS also said it's taking aggressive steps to recapture the erroneously claimed credits.

Amid an investigation by the University of Oklahoma into reports that he took $3,000 from a financial advisor last year, Sooners freshman Tiny Gallon has announced he will leave the school and enter the NBA draft.
Gallon averaged 10.3 points and 7.9 rebounds in his one and only season with the Sooners.
"I had a long conversation with my mom, and then with coach (Jeff) Capel," Gallon said in an OU release sent late Tuesday, according to the Tulsa World. "And I decided that this is the best thing for me at this time."
Gallon's departure is the third this offseason for Oklahoma after Willie Warren and Tommy Mason-Griffin both announced they'll enter the draft as well.
Both Gallon and Mason-Griffin said six weeks ago that they would be returning to Oklahoma for another season.
"I talked to my mother and I talked to coach Capel. I promised them I wasn't just going to be out (of school) easy like that," Gallon said on March 9, according to the Tulsa World. "I'm not going to lie, the school work and stuff is very hard., but I decided when I talked to (Capel), he can make me a great player. Right now I'm just a good player. Actually, I consider myself average, and I don't want to just be average. I want to be a great player, so I talked to him and told him I'd get another year in."
Apparently Gallon received good news on his draft status -- or bad news about the investigation into his taking funds from an advisor -- which led him to change his mind and leave early.
Now, Capel and the Sooners -- who landed in the Elite Eight in 2009 behind All-American Blake Griffin -- are left with just four scholarship players on the roster.
Capel said last week that despite the program losing so many faces -- including assistant Oronde Taliaferro -- and dealing with the investigation, he's still happy where he is despite reports that he had talked to both Clemson and Wake Forest about their job openeings.
"If I wasn't happy here, I wouldn't be here," said Capel, refuting reports that he had been contacted by Clemson and Wake Forest during their searches for new head coaches, according to ESPN.com. "That's the first thing. I've never done anything just for money. That's just not how I am. That's not how I'm made up.
"If I didn't want to be here I wouldn't be here. That doesn't necessarily mean I'd take another job. I may get out of coaching. I just wouldn't be here if I wasn't happy. I wouldn't do that to my family."
He added:
"In order to get better, sometimes you have to cleanse. Sometimes you have to lose some things. Sometimes things have to fall apart in order for them to fall back together. With some of guys that we've had that have left [to turn pro], I'm not really surprised. It's something that's going on around the country, not just here in our program ...
"For a lot of people, it may look doom and gloom but for me, it's exciting," Capel said. "It's certainly a challenge but it's something that I think we're all up for."

Last week, we reported that Fantasia Barrino was hurt and angry about not being invited to participate in the Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammys.
Now Aretha has sent Lifeline Live a response, in which she kindly tells Fantasia, basically, to buck up:
"I was sorry to hear that Fantasia was upset because she did not get the opportunity to participate in my Grammy Tribute this year. I recall that in the past, Fantasia participated in both my MusicCares Person of the Year Tribute and my United Negro College Fund Tribute. Fantasia is still young in the business and although we all love and appreciate her she must understand that in this business of show business she will not always get to participate in everything she would like participate in. I'm sure it was not an intentional omission. I will see Fantasia over the summer here in Detroit."

#73 - Top 100 Canadian Films
In the lead up to the 7th Canadian Film Festival in Australia (August 2012), join us as we countdown the Top 100 Canadian Films of the past 30 years. We'll be posting one film a day leading up to Canada Day on July 1st 2012. Do you agree with our staff favourites? Let us know your thoughts!
#73 - Tideland
"It's okay Daddy, now we can eat her chocolate bars!" This is said by our young heroine, Jeliza-Rose, within the first ten minutes of Tideland after she and her father, Noah, find her mother sprawled out on the bed having just died from a heroin overdose. The scene is unequivocally dark yet, without a moment of grief, Noah and Jeliza-Rose wrap her limp body up in a cocoon of bed sheets with her favourite belongings and bolt from the drug infested house, a scene you can't help but laugh at in disbelief.
So begins Terry Gilliam's fantastical, horrific, psychologically complex film that is not quite as charming as it is grotesque. After the death of her mother, Jeliza-Rose sets off with her equally drug-addicted father to What Rocks: a farmhouse in the heart of deserted Texas that once belonged to her grandmother but has long since been abandoned. After Jeliza innocently and obediently fulfills her daily task of injecting her father with heroin—or as he puts it, "sending him on vacation"—she passes the time by delving into her own fantasy in which she has conversations with dismembered Barbie doll heads and squirrels, her companions on her explorations around the land.
The film only gets stranger as she befriends Dell, a woman whose disconcerting black ensemble makes her look like a witch, complete with a blind eye from a bee sting, and her brother, Dickens, who seems to be an eight year old boy trapped in a man's body. The film worms deeper into Jeliza's psyche as she learns more about her peculiar neighbours, the Barbie heads take on voices of their own, and her father's decomposing corpse remains sitting upright in the living room, dressed up by Jeliza in sunglasses and a blonde wig. What follows is such a tight weaving of reality and imagination that it becomes unclear what is real and what is not.
Though Jeff Bridges bares the celebrity name and is impeccable in his role of the drugged-up, drawling father, the film is carried on the shoulders of the supremely talented Jodelle Ferland who plays Jeliza with a charm that juggles her character's innocence and child-like dependency on make-believe, with her jaded, adult-like ability to take care of herself when she becomes completely neglected.
The extreme canted angles used throughout, and the irreparably dilapidated farmhouse as well as Dell's eccentric, gothic look are indicative of Gilliam's overtly whimsical style. The film has received considerably negative critical reception for its bizarre nature and eccentricity, but if you give in to this strangeness and join Jeliza in the imaginary world she's created, it's like watching a much darker, twisted version of Alice in Wonderland.
David Cronenberg sums it up best as "a poetic horror film." I think Tideland may be well on its way to becoming a cult favourite.
-Pamela Galbraith
"Terry Gilliam has again stretched his craft to fashion a work of tragedy-tinged fantasy that uses the full range of dark movie making tools to great effect." (Urban Cinefile)

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Cornell senior goaltender Andy Iles (Ithaca, N.Y.) was named the 2013-14 Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Year on Friday when the Ivy League's annual postseason honors were announced.
Iles led the Big Red to its second outright Ivy League title in the last three years. He compiled a 1.37 goals against average, only allowing 14 goals, in over 612 minutes between the pipes during League play. The senior accumulated 688 saves throughout the entire 2013-14 campaign along with a .920 save percentage. He has compiled a 14-8-5 record for the 13th-ranked Big Red.
The League also handed out Co-Rookies of the Year honors to Harvard's Sean Malone and Yale's Alex Lyon.
Malone was sensational for the Crimson, leading all freshmen in scoring with nine points in League play. In his 29 games play throughout the season, he has racked up 19 points, third on the team, with six goals and 13 assists.
Lyon has found himself between the pipes 26 times in his rookie campaign in New Haven. He has totaled a 2.37 goals against average and a 12-9-5 overall record. He has a .919 save percentage and has managed 696 stops throughout the year.

By M.R. Kropko, Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND Greeted by two standing ovations, Elizabeth Edwards said Monday she's been buoyed by a national outpouring of sympathy since announcing a recurrence of her cancer, including 12,000 e-mails. Now she understands how seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong felt as he competed before cheering crowds at bicycle races, Edwards said in a speech at the City Club of Cleveland.
It was her first solo public appearance since she and her husband, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, announced last week he would stay in the presidential race despite the incurable cancer that has spread to her rib.
"You can't stop when people are cheering for you all along the way," she said. "It makes the private journey we are going through now easier."
As Edwards entered the room, the capacity crowd about 270 people unanimously rose and applauded. Smiling, she shook hands with everyone at her table before lunch. She received a second ovation as she approached the podium to speak.
"If you can just keep standing and applauding for another 25 minutes, I can go straight to the question and answer," she said drawing laughter from the crowd.
She was invited to the Cleveland issues forum about three months ago to take part in a lecture series of women speakers.
Mrs. Edwards, 57, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in the final weeks of the 2004 campaign when her husband was the running mate of presidential candidate John Kerry. She underwent several months of radiation and chemotherapy.
The couple announced Thursday that she was again facing cancer, only this time it was incurable and had spread to her bone. Despite the diagnosis, the Edwards said they wanted to forge ahead with his second bid for the presidency.
She said her husband's message is not the only reason that it's important that he stay in the race.
"It's also about the medium, the way he's going about it, and that is he's trying to use the grass roots to mobilize us as communities to action," she said.
She will meet with her doctor this week or next week to "find out more information about the cancer that's in me so that we can develop a protocol," she said.
Mrs. Edwards, who appeared with her husband on CBS' "60 Minutes" Sunday, also disclosed that a "hot spot" has been detected in her right hip besides the cancer found last week. She said doctors told her they believe it is too small to pose a new health risk.
"There are a couple of hot spots, on the bone scan, in my right hip, for example," she replied. "And one of the questions is whether or not to do radiation to reduce the size of that -- of the cancer in that location -- and for fear that it might weaken my bone and that I might break my hip. But their consensus was that it was too small an area for that to be a risk."
She is getting all types of health advice from people, which she said is an advantage of fame.
"You are looking for the answer, whatever it is," she said.
One audience member asked whether she would continue to be outspoken if she becomes first lady and whether she would "go beyond decorating Christmas trees and those kinds of things."
"There are almost no issues on which I do not have an opinion, but I do have young children, so I will be decorating Christmas trees, as well," she said. One of her causes would be to try to increase funding for research by the National Institutes of Health, she said.
In San Francisco, John Edwards told a gathering of reporters that he missed his wife. He said they both remained committed to his campaign.
"I'm completely confident that I can do this," said John Edwards, who wore a yellow Lance Armstrong "Livestrong" bracelet. "We love our country so much, and we want to serve our country."
Edwards discussed his energy and climate change plans that he outlined last week in Iowa.

What's your backup strategy?
This morning, on Twitter, I read a tweet from one of the folks I follow, @SeeTTL :
RT @JCDean: PSA: Please back up your computer! My wife just went to console a friend who may have lost EVERY pic of her kids.
This sad story really hit home with me. No, not because I have kids. And not because I've lost the contents of a hard drive forever — despite the fact that I've suffered three total hard disk crashes since 1989. But because I could imagine how badly I'd feel if I'd trusted my hard disk to hold the only copies of all my photos.
As a computer user, the data you create is the only thing that can't be replaced when lost. I'm talking about photos, diaries, accounting records, address books, original manuscripts, and more. Sure, a lot of this stuff can be recreated with some effort, but some of it can't. Like all those photos.
The only way to protect this data from loss is to create reliable backups and, whenever possible, store them offsite, away from the computer.
Mac users have a few options for automated backups:
- Time Machine is truly transparent. It goes to work in the background to faithfully duplicate what it finds on your hard disk. You can use it with its default settings or customize settings to limit what's backed up. All you need is an attached hard disk or Time Machine-compatible network disk. Time Machine does the rest. Best of all, it will even keep copies of stuff you deleted by accident — at least for a while — so you can get it back. With external hard disk prices so low right now and Time Machine free with Leopard, why not take advantage of it?
- Backup is backup software that comes with Mac OS X. It's highly configurable and can be used to back up to a hard disk, optical media such as CDs or DVDs, and a MobileMe account. This last option is probably the best because it automates off-site storage. I wrote about using Backup in "Save Yourself (and Your Data) with .Mac Backup," which I wrote for Peachpit.com in 2006. It might be dated, but I'm sure you'll find some good tidbits of information there.
- iDisk is part of a MobileMe account. You might not think of it as a backup solution, but it can be. First, you can simply drag and drop the things you want to back up to your iDisk to copy it to your MobileMe storage space. That's an offline storage solution for you. But what you might find easier is to enable iDisk syncing so a copy of your iDisk space is available on your computer's desktop. Then simply store data in it. The data is automatically copied to your iDisk space on MobileMe when synced. Not only that, but if you more than one Mac, all of them can share the same iDisk. That means the documents you copy there are available with you on all of your computers.
- Third party backup solutions are also available to you. There are quite a few out there and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not up to speed on them. I haven't needed them. I have a very good backup strategy without them.
- Fetch and iCal can also be used together to create an automated offsite backup solution. I wrote about that in ""Creating an Automated Backup Plan with Fetch and iCal"," in 2007.
CDs and DVDs can always be used to back up data to. This is what some people seem to forget. And it's what probably could have saved the woman referenced above a lot of grief.
Last week, I wrote a blog post for my personal blog that outlined my workflow for geotagging images. In it, I included Step 4: Backup. That's the step where I copy all of my images from my hard disk to a CD or DVD before erasing the camera's data card. I have dozens of these discs, nicely labeled, in my office. I'd be smarter to have them offsite. But at least I have them. Anyone who makes a lot of digital images and does not perform this step is looking for trouble. Don't say a hard disk crash won't happen to you. It will. It's just a matter of time.
Heck, it happened to me three times already.

Peter O'Toole has sadly passed away, aged 81. Mirror.co.uk first published this piece when he announced his retirement from acting in July, 2012.
Veteran British actor Peter O'Toole, praised for esteemed roles in classic films such as Lawrence of Arabia, has announced he is retiring from acting in films and stage.
"It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back," O'Toole said in a statement.
The 79-year-old star added that his career "has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort.
"It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits."
"However," he added. "It's my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one's stay."
Born in Connemara, Ireland and raised in Leeds, O'Toole said he is now spending his time working on the third volume of his memoirs.
Nominated for eight Academy Awards without landing a single one of the accolades, O'Toole made waves on stage early in his career in several key Shakespearean roles, including an acclaimed turn as Hamlet.
He was among a wily new breed of young British stage actors who soon would rise to Hollywood stardom.
"There was a group of us working-class actors, Peter O'Toole, Albert Finney, everybody, and we changed the way things were," Sir Michael Caine said last weekend in an interview for his latest film, The Dark Knight Rises.
Caine recalled being O'Toole's understudy in playwright Willis Hall's The Long and the Short and the Tall, which opened in London in 1959.
"He did an incredible performance and he got 'Lawrence of Arabia,' and then I took it on tour," said two-time Oscar winner Sir Michael.
Working for four years with the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Company, the young O'Toole also trod the boards for one year each at the Royal Court and the Stratford Memorial Theatre before spending six months with the National Theatre.
While Lawrence of Arabia catapulted him to stardom, he also received critical plaudits for films such as Goodbye, Mr. Chips, The Ruling Class and The Stunt Man.
During the course of his near 60 year career, O'Toole has won the BAFTA Award, four Golden Globes, the Emmy and numerous other theatre and cinema awards, including in 2000 The Olivier Award for his performance as Jeff in Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell at The Old Vic Theatre, London.
But an Academy Award had always eluded him, even though was given an honorary Oscar in 2003 for his numerous memorable roles.
"I have my very own Oscar now to be with me until death us do part," O'Toole told the academy crowd that night.
His last Oscar nomination was for Best Actor in the 2006 film Venus.
"If you fail the first time, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again," O'Toole said in a statement on nominations day.
Unfortunately for O'Toole, he failed again. The best actor prize went to Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland.
Suitably dramatic to the last, the actor with the most piercing blue eyes in cinematic history signed off with a flourish, saying: "I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell."

Carphone tills keep ringing
British mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse has turned in sharply higher profits, defying signs of a slowdown in consumer spending.
The company said on Wednesday that pre-tax profits for the six months to late September came in at £12m ($16.8m), 25% up on the same period last year.
Turnover climbed 19% on the year to £433.8m, driven in part by a 21% increase in mobile phone connections.
Carphone Warehouse added that it was "quietly confident" that sales during the all-important Christmas season would be strong.
The mobile phone industry is hoping that new picture-messaging handsets will drive bumper sales growth in the run-up to Christmas this year.
Bouncing back
The company's latest results underline its recovery from an unexpectedly sharp slump in handset sales one year ago.
Carphone's sales fell by 9% during the final three months of 2001 as the handset market approached saturation, forcing the firm to issue a profit warning and close some of its loss-making continental European stores.
The firm said on Wednesday that its performance on mainland Europe had improved, with losses in its key German market falling by half compared with the same period last year.
Carphone Warehouse chief executive Charles Dunstone told Reuters that the firm would sell its German business if it did not move towards profitability next year.
Fixed line expansion
Carphone also announced on Wednesday that it had bought Opal Telecom, a UK-based firm which supplies fixed-line voice services to small and medium-sized businesses, for £65m.
The company said it planned to offer Opal's fixed line services to consumers through its chain of High Street shops.
Carphone Warehouse chairman Hans Snook said he expected the Opal acquisition to boost profits within one year.
Last year, Opal made profits of £3.2m before tax and one-off costs on sales of £92.3m.
City investors reacted cautiously, marking Carphone Warehouse shares down 9p to 88p in early trade.

NZ assistance to cyclone-hit Tonga
Hon Murray McCully
Minister of Foreign Affairs
12 January 2014
NZ assistance to cyclone-hit Tonga
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully today announced New Zealand will assist with the immediate response effort following Tropical Cyclone Ian in Tonga.
"An RNZAF P3 Orion arrived in Tonga this morning to assist with aerial assessments following Tropical Cyclone Ian. We will also make $50,000 immediately available to respond to specific requests for assistance," Mr McCully says.
"Our thoughts are with the people of Tonga as they begin to come to terms with the damaged caused by this cyclone."
Early reports suggest damage to buildings in parts of Ha'apai, limited communications and power outages. More details will become available as Tongan authorities make assessments today.
Mr McCully says further support will be considered as the full extent of the damage becomes clear and the Government of Tonga determines its priority response areas.
New Zealanders in Tonga are advised to follow the advice of the local authorities (including any evacuation orders), seek suitable shelter, monitor local media for updates, and keep friends and family in New Zealand informed of their well-being. If they require consular advice they should contact the New Zealand High Commission in Nuku' alofa.

Remarque : il est de la responsabilité de la chaîne hôtelière et/ou de l'établissement individuel de garantir la conformité des photos présentées. Travellerspoint n'est pas responsable d'éventuelles inexactitudes liées aux photos.
Prem`s Home stay is close to all the main attractions including the St.Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, the Chinese Fishing nets, Mattancherry Palace and the Jewish quarter (Jew Town).We have many rooms which include 4 double Room, one family room with 4 beds and one Double Room with A/C.
Feast your eyes on the wonderful architecture in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. A visit to these places should figure prominently in your itinerary. It is an eclectic blend of the Arab, British, Portuguese and Dutch legacy. To get a taste of the Portuguese architecture, you can head towards The Santa Cruz Basilica. This five hundred year old church survived the Dutch invasion. These followers of John Calvin, the traders of Holland were probably, enamored by the beautiful stained glass embellishments.
The St. Francis Church, another specimen from the Portuguese era, boasts of having being the burial site of the famous Vasco da Gama. The Doop Book,that is a storehouse of records of married and baptized individuals, is a top draw. The Chinese fishing nets, a remnant from the rule of the majestic Kublai Khan, is another major tourist attraction. After a day of wander lust, you can unwind at the Fort Kochi Beach, which also houses a pretty lighthouse. The Pardesi Synagogue, a relic of the Jews also claims huge footfalls. This glorious specimen of Jew architecture is four hundred years old and is adorned with etched brass pillars and floor art. There are a couple of copper discs that have the etchings of the benefits awarded by King Bhaskara Ravi Varman. It also showcases a forty-five feet clock that boasts of Arabic, Latin, Malayalam and Hebrew. If you want to soak in the feel of the Maharajadom, trudge along to the Mattancherry Palace that is a treasure trove of royal memorabilia.
The Jew Street, the Dutch Cemetery and the Princess Street are some of other coveted tourist hot spots. Ernakulam, situated at a stones throw distance, from Kochi, exudes generation next verve and enthusiasm with a plethora of theatres, dining joints and shopping havens. Broadway is a shoppers paradise, fragrant with an old world charisma. Amble down the seventy-five feet Marine Drive or lean back to feast your eyes on the Ernakulam Vypeen boat sail at a distance. If you are interested to bolster your knowledge about the nomenclature of Ernakulam, a visit to the Shiva Temple is a must. Rishinaga-kulam, the name of the temples pool of water gives Ernakulam its name. The legend has it that, a mystic gained freedom from the shackles of a curse. January is an ideal month to visit as the temple gears up to revel in the eight day celebrations. The Pakalpooram, a blend of panchavadyam, and pandimelan, is an unique experience.
