Williams was part of the coxless four denied Olympic gold by Matthew Pinsent's British crew in Athens.
"This could be the one chance to savour another unique sporting moment," said the 27-year-old.
The Oxford crew will contain just three returning Blues on 27 March, while Cambridge have named six new Blues.
Cambridge have four Olympians in Briton Tom James, American Luke Walton and Germans Sebastian Schulte and Bernd Heidicker.
Light blue president Andrew Shannon has been relegated to the reserve crew Goldie while three former Oxford Blue Boat members, including last year's stroke Colin Smith, row for second crew Isis.
Robin Bourne-Taylor, the president, Naval officer Peter Reed and cox Acer Nethercott are the only three with previous Boat Race experience for Oxford.
Cambridge won last year's Boat Race following a controversial clash of oars in the early stages.
"On paper there is a lot of talent in both crews and they should produce a thrilling Boat Race," said Cambridge coach Robin Williams.
"I hope they will live up to a great match on the day."
His Oxford counterpart Sean Bowden echoed the view that this year's race could have all the makings of a classic.
"We are fortunate this year that a number of internationally experienced rowers have chosen to come to Oxford, enabling us to put together a crew of very high calibre," said Bowden.
"Cambridge are similarly blessed so the challenge ahead of us is large."
Boat Race crews:
Cambridge: Henry Adams (St Edmund's College), Steffen Buschbacher (St Catharine's), Tom Edwards (Gonville and Caius), Bernd Heidicker (Hughes Hall), Tom James (Trinity Hall), Matthias Kleinz (Gonville and Caius), Peter Rudge (cox, Hughes Hall), Sebastian Schulte (Gonville and Caius), Luke Walton (St Edmunds).
Oxford: Mike Blomquist (St Peter's), Robin Bourne-Taylor (Christ Church), Jason Flickinger (Keble), Chris Liwski (St Catherine's), Acer Nethercott (cox, University), Peter Reed (Oriel), Andy Triggs Hodge (St Catherine's), Joseph Von Maltzahn (Kellogg), Barney Williams (Jesus).

When in faith we recognize our need, repent, confess our sins, and claim Christ's righteousness for ourselves, we become His disciples. During His ministry, Jesus called different people, such as Peter and James and John, to be His disciples, a call that implied leaving everything in order to follow Him (Matt. 4:20, 22; Mark 10:28; Luke 5:28). In fact, in the Gospels the verb to follow practically became a synonym for disciple.
What two elements are essential in order to be a disciple of Jesus? See John 8:30-31.
Some people try to separate faith in Jesus from adherence to Jesus' teachings, as if the first would be more important than the latter. But Jesus did not make such a distinction. For Him, both aspects are closely interrelated and fundamental for true discipleship. A disciple of Jesus is committed to His person, as well as to His words. Though there is always the danger of getting so caught up in doctrines and forms of faith that we lose sight of Jesus Himself, we must also be aware of the danger of thinking that all that matters in our walk with the Lord is to believe in Jesus.
What is the high cost of being a disciple of Jesus? See Luke 14:25-27.
Jesus used the verb to hate as a hyperbole meaning to love less. The parallel passage in Matthew clarifies the meaning of Jesus' words: He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me (Matt. 10:37, NKJV). Jesus must have the first place in our lives if we want to be His disciples.
What has following Christ, being His disciple, cost you? What does your answer say about your walk with the Lord?

I'm starting to wonder if Black Walder surreptitiously killed his grandfather Stevron in his sleep. The books make it a point that no one thought Stevron's wounds at Oxcross were actually fatal, but then he was found dead in his tent. Black Walder was with Robb's army in the Westerlands as it is later mentioned that he fought at the Crag. They've also said that, while Black Walder is not confirmed to have killed any of his relatives yet, many fear that he is more than willing to kill his own blood, and is perhaps only waiting for old Lord Walder to die.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 17:26, October 24, 2013 (UTC)
The new Lord of the Twins
I hope it's allright to mention it, but can we be sure that Stevron Frey is now the Lord of the Twins? We haven't seen him since Season 1, and in the novels he died, the TV show hasn't introduced a heir so far. Maybe we will only get knowledge after the next season aired, if the producers include new scenes in the Riverlands. --Exodianecross (talk) 17:12, June 27, 2016 (UTC)
- Going to get a little speculative here. In the show, Littlefinger was not named Lord Paramount of the Trident, but instead Walder Frey was. Let's assume that Stevron has died. Lothar and Black Walder have too, of course. House Frey is essentially going to turn into... well, a mess. The new queen, Cersei, does not particularly have the greatest judgement as shown in the past. I feel that Littlefinger will send her a raven declaring that the knights of the Vale have retaken Winterfell from the Boltons, and falsely tell her that Sansa and the Boltons have been executed (which is what Cersei wants). As shown by her tinkering of the small council among other things, she doesn't seem to like to have a wide number of servants or allies. She may end up naming Littlefinger the Warden of the North and Lord Paramount of the North, in addition to being the new Lord Paramount of the Trident since House Frey will not be able to keep control of even itself, more or less the Riverlands. Rise, House Baelish! Reddyredcp (talk) 17:21, June 27, 2016 (UTC)
- I understand you. I just think that sometimes everything stays unclear. Just for example, in the article "House Stark" was written that they are reinstalled as leaders of the North after "The Battle of the Bastards", but this wasn't established till "The Winds of Winter"! So I think, we have to wait what we'll see in the upcoming season, I assume the production has started now, I've heard that several castings will be hold in the next time. Therefore I think it's a little bit to early with Stevron as the new heir, we don't know if he's still alive or dead like in the novels! --Exodianecross (talk) 22:58, June 27, 2016 (UTC)

This ride is for advanced riders only.
We'll pack your lunch—all you need to bring is your bike! This is an all-day tour, covering six separate trails, so we start earlier and finish later than any of our other tours. It's like the best powder day… only on a bike. Price includes free shirt, shuttles (lots of them), lunch, snacks and your local professional guides.
17K In a Day by the numbers
6 trails, 18,000 feet of descending, 4,000 feet of climbing, and 45 miles of sweet single track including Alpine, "The Double" (Lawler and Hardesty Trails), Larison Rock, Dead Mt ( formally) Flat Creek and Aubrey Mountain trails. Whew!

Politicians continue to demonstrate a fierce desire to be seen to be doing something – anything! – about excessive executive pay and corporate tax avoidance. Nick Clegg, UK deputy prime minister, used a BBC radio interview on Thursday to step up the verbal assault on such practices. He said:
Look at this debate about irresponsible capitalism, what I call crony capitalism. It's Liberal Democrats [Clegg's party] who've led the debate on clamping down on bankers' bonuses and we must be just as tough this year in the bonus season that's coming up as we were last year, if not more so.
It's for him and his colleagues to prove that these threats can be turned into effective action, but in the meantime I'm struck by his terminology. What Mr Clegg calls "crony capitalism" is not what most of us call crony capitalism. I have always assumed the term applies quite specifically to unsavoury, over-cosy relationships between businesspeople and politicians. Read more

The Callaway Family is a family of upper-level witches that owns an estate in San Francisco. They were in a feud with their neighbors, the Montana Family, for generations, though neither side remembered how it started.
At some point in time, Olivia fell in love with and even got engaged to Richard Montana. However, she was killed by his brother Steve in a crossfire. After her death, the families called a truce. Angered because her death was not avenged, Olivia returned as a spirit and reignited the feud by attacking her own family.
The Charmed Ones became involved due to Paige working for Grandma Callaway as a temp job. They performed a seance with both families, where the truth was revealed. As the families returned to fighting, Olivia possessed Paige and tried to kill Richard so they could be together in death. The families agreed to finally make peace to prevent more deaths and told the sisters where they could find Olivia and Richard. Paige then talked to Olivia and convinced her to move on.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
States impose a tax for work performed within their borders. So if you are traveling to customer's you could potentially be paying tax in several states.
Typically your resident state will give a credit for taxes paid to another state. This way your income isn't taxed more than 100%.
You should ask your employer on if they will file a W-2 for in several states.
Maryland top rate = 5.5%
Penn = 3.07%
These are top rats but Penn is definitely the lowest. We would still need to factor in property taxes and sales tax.
Thank you for this, it's what I thought from talking to people, but without the actual numbers. This information combined with the knowledge that PA doesn't tax my military retirement helps with our decision. Thank you for the quick response.
Your are welcome and let me know if I can be of any other help.

Dubai ports handle 10 percent more cargo
The Dubai Ports Authority (DPA) has reported that it handled 44.3 million tons of cargo in 2000, about 10 percent more than the 39.7 million tons registered in 1999. DPA also reported an eight percent increase in containers handled in 2000.
The figures provided by the DPA are comprehensive, and include product categories such petroleum products, foodstuffs, metals, electronics and textiles.
Quoted by the Gulf News, Sultan bin Sulayem, managing director of DPA and chairman of the Jebel Ali Free Zone, said that the results show healthy growth for the region, and not only the DPA.
The increased volume is indicative of the growth of the local market, in contrast to the market fluctuations associated with the transshipment sector, he added. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

Selena Gomez Goes Braless at Jingle Ball, Still Looks Innocent
Even when Selena Gomez sexes it up, she still looks sweet and innocent to me.
The singer donned a navy blue Zara jumpsuit as she arrived at KISS Fm's Jingle Ball in Dallas last night and managed to pull off a non-slutty braless look with ease.
Selena recently posted this au naturel selfie to her Instagram account with a caption possibly directed at her ex Justin Bieber, whose new video shows him getting intimate with blonde model Cailin Russo.
I thought he only liked the Latina category. Smh… #nomakeup #hatewhengirlssaythat xx http://t.co/UMJ8pKwoTJ

Hmmm … what say you, Biebs? Check out the gallery above to see Selena performing onstage in a short bob wig and white hot pants.

Part 4: The Finale
Chapter 33
Dragged unmercifully over the stony ground by his scaly captors, his paws and torso gripped tight by the coils of several serpents, a terrified Rugg Tornpaw struggled wildly to get free. Any common sense the old searat might have posessed was thrown to the winds; heedless of the fact that to stay calm and quiet in the presence of so many adders was the safest bet, he scrabbled, screamed and wailed unmercifully, spurred in his efforts by the all-consuming force of sheer panic. At first, his captors had not minded, laughing and jeering at him as they marched back to camp. However, as the hours crawled on, it was plain the constant stream of shreiks was grating on everybeast's nerves.
"Whooooooooaaaaaaaargh! Yaaaheeeeeeeee! Ayieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
A massive, blubbery ogre of a ferret began pawing at her spear haft. "If'n that fool don't shuddup, so help me..."
Twotail was leading the patrol; the vixen began passing around pads of moss and grass. "I know how ye feels, mate; don't let it get t'ye. E're, stuff summa 'dis lot in yore ears t'deaden the noise."
Onward, the patrol marched in high bad humor, some of them beginning to groan and moan aloud along with their prisoner. The earplugs proved to be useless against the shrill squeals of the rat, which seemed to purposefully cut through them. Finally, the big, ugly ferret had taken enough; she struck the offender over the head with her spearbutt, readying for a downward thrust with the point.
"Right, let's see how good ye screams wid no head attached!"
Twotail neatly tripped the ferret; she hit the ground with a dull, heavy THUD. As her victim hawked and spluttered up several clods of grass and dirt, the vixen berated her angrily. "Lay a paw on me pris'ner an' yore dead, d'ye hear me? Dead!" She used her cutlass to gesture to the rest of her angry and weary patrol. "An' that goes fer alla ye! The Black Shade put ME in charge, so I gives the orders! Clear?"
Any response was halted by a yell from the hilltop nearby; framed by the setting red sun behind him, a lone, tall figure had appeared. It was Gatlak, and he was hailing them, pink highlights dancing off his sabre as he waved it to get their attention. "Hallooooooooooooo the patrol! Any news?"
Twotail swallowed hard, hoping that her news would be construed as good news. "No tracks, but we gotta old rat who might have sum infermation!"
"Good! I'll tell.." A sudden cacophany of noise, mostly bubbling screams and growls, broke out from the other side of the hill; the marten looked startled, and disappeared from view. In the abrupt silence that followed, the patrol looked from one beast to another nervously. What had just happened, back in the camp?
After a few moments Gatlak reappeared. His former confidence was gone; he seemed to have been badly shaken. His voice was little more than a half-hearted quaver. "Cummon in, t'Black Shade wants a word with ye!"
Unsure whether to be alarmed or relieved, the patrol hastened to obey, hurriedly dragging their unconscious prisoner over the hilltop, down the rocky slope, and into the camp at the base of the falls.
Enzi Grexx sat alone and immobile on a small boulder, half-in and half-out of the shallows. His footpaws dangling idly in the stream, his chin against his gently rising and falling chest, the great beast appeared to be sleeping; however, the rust-stained adderfang spear gripped tight in his forepaws warned that to assume he was asleep would be a gamble of life and death.
As Gatlak escorted Twotail and her patrol to the wolf's side, the beasts stifled gasps of horror. Floating in the edge of the river, kept from washing downstream by various rocks and water weeds, were the remains of three very dead adders, slashed quite literally to pieces by their former commander.
Gatlak nervously addressed the slumped figure. "Here they are, Cap'n, just like ye asked."
Slowly, the wolf turned his head. His yellow eyes practically glowed with bloodshot pink viens; everybeast in the patrol moved back slightly from the piercing gaze. The wolf looked from his army to the captive, then back again. Noticing their appalled expressions, the wolf spoke, his voice a low, strained growl. It was plain he was keeping a rising fury in check, though how long that control would last was anybeast's guess. "This was Circi's patrol. Three days now, they've been wasting my time; the dolt had the effrontery to report a find of "nothing" to me five times in a row. Three days, we've been scouring the countryside. Three days, since those slaves of mine have made fools of you. THREE DAYS, the reports have been the same; nothing. Nothing! NOTHING!!!!"
He lept to his footpaws in a swirl of cloak and tunic, his spearpoint aimed for a thrust at Twotail's head. The wolf screamed so forcefully at her spittle flew from his muzzle. "You'd better pray this rat knows something, fox! If you've hurt him too badly for him to tell me anything, or if this is another dead end, you'll end up just like this last lot of useless scum, all of you! Now get out of my sight, and put this dolt where he can sleep off whatever injury you've given them!"
Terrified beyond words, the whole patrol, including Gatlak, fled the scene. To a beast, their thoughts were identical; the Black Shade was insane, and to be near him in a mood like this was sure death!
Late that evening, Rugg Tornpaw awoke to a world of pain. His head pounded and throbbed horrendously from the two knock-out blows he had earlier recieved, and the countless other bangs and bumps to the skull he had suffered during the long, stony journey. His ribs were cramped and sore from where the serpents had constricted them, as were his limbs. And, to cap it all off, his tail was on fire!
Apparently, as he was rolling about in his sleep, the searat had gotten his rear end too close to one of the campfires. With a yelp, Rugg leapt up, beating and blowing at his blazing appendage; spotting the Great North Stream, he flung himself into the frigid water with a loud splash. His performance caught the attention of the Ranks gathered around; two foxes promptly dove in after him, rescuing him from the depths and flinging him upon the bank. Three more Ranks soldiers seized the half-drowned rat, dragged him away from their main camp, and dumped him uncerimoniously in front of a rocky outcrop in the nearby woods, fleeing the scene to leave him to his fate. Spitting water and bits of riverbed mud, the peg-legged searat found himself looking up into the flat, yellow eyes of the Black Shade.
Enzi Grexx, for now his normal imperious self, was giving the rat the full display of his might and majesty. Framed against the star-studded velvet blue of the night sky, the deep, glossy blackness of his recently groomed fur was even more pronounced. A very nervous Gatlak and Zalbu stood to rigid attention either side of him; each marten bore a torch atop a long pole, which had been treated with chemicals to make the flames glow green. The light flickered patterns across the lighter scales in the wolf's tunic, his bared white fangs, and the sickly grey adderskull masks he and his followers wore. A live adder - the big female Sisserah - completed the barbaric picture; she lounged gracefully abount the wolf's shoulders like a scarf, her ugly head reaching foward and down towards the rat.
Rugg began shivering, not just from the cold. "What d'ye want with me? I ain't harmed nobeast...."
"SSSSSSSILENCE!" Sisserah's nose was suddenly touching his, her venom-dripping fangs an inch from his face. "On your kneessssss, ssssssscum; bow beffffffffore the Great Black Sssssssssshade!"
The terrified rat dropped face-down to the earth with a wail; he had taken all his jangled nerves could stand for one day. His tears flowed down his braided beard as he wept unashamedly. "Mercy, mercy, spare me! I'll do anything, anythin' a'tall, I swear it! Whatever it is, I'll do it, ye've got me solemn oath, highness! Just call off t'snakes, I beg ye!"
"Enough, Sisserah." The Black Shade's voice was soothing, almost friendly. "Leave the poor creature alone."
Obediently, the adder left of terrorizing Rugg. Enzi Grexx shook his head and sighed as the rat groveled thankfully at his footpaws. Reaction to the prospect of death, especially by serpent, separated the fools and cowards from the useful beasts. It never failed to disgust him when creatures were reduced to blubbering wrecks so easily; this rat was an unimpressive specimen, to be sure.
He took on a slightly more commanding tone. "Up on your paws, rat; I need your assistance."
"Anythin', name it!" Rugg's tears flowed even more freely in his relief.
"Oh, it's not much." The wolf smiled thinly. "First, a question. Have you seen any large, black ships about with Wildcats and Woodlanders aboard?"
Rugg nodded furiously; the wolf's smile broadened to reveal every fang in his huge mouth. "Good! Now, you are going to sit here and tell me everything that's happened to you within the last four or five days. And I do mean EVERYTHING, every last detail, down to when you ate and slept. Oh, and don't bother to lie; the serpent knows when a beast lies. She's not too fussy on liars."
Heeding the ominous warning, Rugg started talking as fast as he could. It was as if another beast was in control of his tounge; he spoke longer and with more eloquence than he ever had in his life, unwinding his fascinating tale as if he'd been a storyteller from birth. The wolf waited until he had finished to ask questions, his only reactions during the tale being the occasional nod or "What's that?" to clarify a confusing point.
When Rugg had wound up, it was nearing midnight; the Black Shade went over one or two points again. "You say this cave has thousands of bats in it?"
"Tens o'thousands, accordin' t'that sherrew."
"And it has how many entrances?"
"On'y three I know of; the Waterfall, the one I used, anna big hole in the ceilin' in that main cave. But ye couldn't get in through the waterfall or the ceilin' hole without fallin' t'death."
"That's as may be. And the getaway ship is no longer sailworthy?"
"Firewood's all she's good fer now."
The wolf nodded, the slow smile reappearing. An fiendish plan was beginning to form in his mind. Sensing the interview was over, and feeling a bit more confidence now, Rugg ventured a tentative question. "Er, I wandered about in that cave for nigh on three days, Highness, wid no food an' all. Am I free t'go? I'd like t'find sum grub."
The wolf stared at him very hard before replying. "Every vermin for leagues about belongs in my army. Would you serve?"
Rugg shook his head emphatically. "Never, Yore Highness, not wid so many snakes!"
"Then you're of no more use to me." The Black Shade clapped his paws.
The last thing Rugg saw was the open mouth of Sisserah flying straight at his face at unimaginable speed; he had no time to scream.
Leaving the adder to her grisly meal, the wolf addressed his two subordinates. "Gather all the Ranks. I need to make an announcement immediately!"
Three days had also passed since the escape of Dippertail; the desperate hunt to find him was still in full swing. However, the martens and Krozfoxx were fast beginning to lose patience with Scaleflier, who had been running them ragged by forcing them to attempt to keep up with his speed. Even moving at what to him was average pace, the small green serpent easily outdistanced them. Jettcoil, Dankfur, and Ux were able to plow on in stoic silence fairly close to him; however, the majority of the group lagged farther and farther back, gasping and crying out as their paws and lungs began to ache. Two Krozfoxx had already been left behind; one dead from the strain, another unable to carry on due to a broken footpaw.
When an unfortunate Kaiah blundered into a ravine because he was too tired and running too quickly to see it, the big marten Uja finally decided enough was enough. "Hoi! Slow down, wouldja!"
Others soon took up the cry.
"Disee runnee alla time killee me!"
"Slow down afore some otherbeast gits hurt!"
"My paws hurtee likee blazes!"
Scaleflier treated his followers to a glare, impressing them by slithering backwards while he berated them. "SSSsssss, you lot are weaklingssssss! Don't ye know to catch a fffffalcon one must move quicky? We'll never catch him at thisssssss rate!"
Danfur realized, however, the justice in Uja's train of thought; plus, though he would not admit it, he too was exhausted. "It's late, Scaleflier; we need to rest. Company HALT!"
Gratefully, every beast sank to the ground; some of them flopped onto their backs, gasping for air and wiping slavering mouths. As Jettcoil backtracked a few paces to rescue Kaiah from the ditch, Scaleflier addressed Dankfur. "Ifffff we did not sssssstop or sssssslow so often, we would not have had to run ssssssssso much; we'd have caught him long beffffffore now."
Dankfur's chest was also heaving; it took him a moment to reply. "Are you sure he went this way? Three days we've been charging, and I've seen no signs so far, not even a feather!"
The decietful serpent knew he was on dangerous ground; he realized a rude counterattack was the best method for instilling confidence, knowing that to appear calm and pleasant would arouse Dankfur's suspicions. He huffed angrily. "Iffffff you would like to attempt tracking a ffffffalcon in ffffffull ffffflight, fffffffeel ffffree. It issssssss a tassssssk mossssssst diffffficult. However, I am asssss ssssssure he went thisssss way asssss ifff I sssssaw him with my own eyesssssss!"
It had the desired effect; Dankfur's mood was not improved, but he believed the serpent's words. He stabbed his sabre moodily into the earth. "Well, if we haven't caught up with him by tomorrow night, the hunt is off, as far as myself and my beasts are concerned. For all we know, he may be leading us a merry dance just to watch us all drop dead from exhaustion."
Ringgob, who was nearby, nodded in agreement. "Aye, an' 'e'll succeed if'n we keep this up!"
He recoiled as his captain's sabre flashed by, shearing off one side of his whiskers. "Who said you could speak, bigmouth? Take Jettcoil and get us some food, and keep your trap shut!"
Chastened, the older marten gathered his bow and arrows; he and the blacksnake headed off, with Dankfur's cold eyes watching them. Slithering away from the scene, Scaleflier let out a small sigh of relief. Though he didn't know it, Dankfur had come dangerously close to stumbling upon the truth; that is, the truth of a small part of the serpent's full revenge.
Later that evening, the two hunters returned to camp, burdened with a huge supply of cooked goods, cordials, and a dead family of plump voles, all looted from the same treehouse. For the first time in a long time, Dankfur congratulated his crew. "Well done; we should eat well tonight. Put some to the side for supplies, don't wolf it all down at once!"
The food was being distributed when Akalle Bladewhip strolled nonchalantly into camp. Her arrival caused little comment; she was always the last to arrive, refusing to run and simply following the tracks of the rest of the band to wherever they decided to camp for the night. Dankfur glowered at her. "Half rations for you, fox; maybe that will teach you to keep up next time!"
The killer vixen seemed to be unusally quiet and obedient of late; without a word of complaint, she accepted her meagre share of the food and went off to a boulder some distance away to eat. Scaleflier lay coiled on the opposite side, out of view of the others. Akalle murmured a single word out of the side of her mouth. "Well?"
The serpent flexed his coils. "T'issss going ssssslowly, but sssssuccessssfully. Murmursssss of mutiny are beginning amongssssst the foxesssss; the martensssss still need work, though. Sssssstay awake and watch me work tonight, and ssssssseee my methodssssss, ifffff you like."
The vixen pawed at one of her poisoned knives, glaring at Ringgob. "Ye just let me know when I can kill that skullbeast that ruined my paw, an' that big oaf Ux; their dead bodies are all I need to see!"
The serpent shook his head in mock pity. "You may have need to ssssssoil your blade; have you not realissssed the sssssheme yet? It issss fffar better they ssssshould appear to kill each other offff, than one of ussss should be blamed for it; t'will help ussssss to undermine the main Ranksssssss later!"
"Help you." Akalle corrected. "After Ux an' Ringgob die, I go my own way."
Scaleflier did not seem unduly put out. "Sssssssuit yourssssself. But ssssssstay out of trouble until thissssss isssss over, undersssssstand? One ffffalssssse move and we're both dead!"
As the serpent had planned when he ran them ragged, Dankfur and his crew were far too tired to even post sentries; to a beast, they lay flat out, in the deep sleep of total exhaustion. None of them noticed the small serpent slithering among them, whispering into ears soothingly, disrupting their dreams and planting subconsious thoughts of mutiny. Akalle stayed awake and watched, tail twitching with impatience. This sort of thing seemed to her impatient mind to be foolish; had she her way, she would have stabbed everybeast then and there with her poisoned blade. This reckless plan, of course, involved the gamble that none of them would cry out and alert the big snake before she got a chance to get him; however, to Akalle's mind, this was certainly worth the chance.
Scaleflier was at Uja's ear now; Akalle noticed the serpent was taking a particularly long time with him. When the small racer finally returned to her and curled up at her footpaws for a snooze, the vixen questioned him. "Why'd ye stay so long at the big skullbeast's ear? He's a dunce, he can't help ye."
The serpent allowed his eyes to film over. "He isssss to be my prime mover in the little drama I am creating. Hisssssss brother wasssss slain by the Redwallersssss in the battle; he hasssss more reasssssson to turn on Dankfur than anybeasssssst."
Akalle did not agree with this reasoning, having no familial ties herself; however, it was too late and she was too sleepy to argue the point. Both would-be assassins settled down for the night, each with their own thoughts of vengeance.
Unaware that a third beast had joined them in these thoughts - one whom Scaleflier's suggestions had affected more strongly than the small serpent could have ever imagined!

31. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"Moriturus May 24, 2009 12:49 AM (in response to Moriturus)
I managed to finally get the charges reversed on my bill. On the Verizon Wireless website, they have a link to a "How are we doing?" type of survey, in which they ask whether or not I would recommend Verizon Wireless to a friend or family member. I responded by rating Verizon Wireless's service with a "zero" based on their stonewalling me on these charges, and pointedly noted that I would recommend NOT signing up with Verizon Wireless to anyone who might ask. I also said that since my contract was up I'd be switching carriers immediately. I was contacted by a representative a couple of days later who said that Verizon wanted to keep me as a customer, etc. I said I'd be delighted to renew if these charges were removed. The charges were removed, I renewed, and I now have a very nice new Verizon cellphone which I'm quite happy with. I don't know what Verizon's response would have been, however, had I not been up for renewal.
I'm baffled as to why Verizon perpetuates this scam by making it so difficult to remove these fake charges, when it causes them so much ill-will from long-time customers. Considering how much they charge per month, it would seem that their long-term contracts are their main profit center even if they make a lot of money on each one of these scam text messages. I've been a loyal customer of Verizon Wireless for over ten years. They've had their problems, but have generally provided good service at an affordable price over a broad coverage area. I've recommended Verizon in the past to people who asked me how I liked my cellphone plan. Had they not reversed the charges on my bill they might have made some significant percentage of $19.98 but they would have had a hostile ex-customer for life. Oh well, I guess that's capitalism . . .

mamatrueby and moriturus, I think I also just received credit for the fraudulent charges. Moriturus, I agree with you completely regarding Verizon's involvement and response to customers. Years of being a good customer is quickly forgotten if they think there's a quick profit today.
Verizon, if you are reading this, be advised: The bitter taste of poor service (and in this case facilitating fraud) remains long after the sweetness of a discounted phone.
33. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"hopelesskase May 29, 2009 11:46 PM (in response to Moriturus)My son had the same thing on his bill and paid it for a year. He thought it was his unlimited text package charge until we were comparing his bill to mine. He called verizon customer service and they told him it was from someone (his old girlfriend) doing a survey online. She had did the same thing to home phone. Anyway they blocked the third party from texting him and canceled the service from his account with no problem
34. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"lifesgreat May 30, 2009 2:19 AM (in response to Moriturus)
I also got burned with the 'premium text messaging' scam. I just received my first bill & it has $538.29 of premium text messaging charges on it. I didn't even know there was such a thing as premium text messaging. I spoke with customer service who told me Verizon couldn't do anything about the charges but gave me the 3rd party # to call & work it out with them (866-242-0384). I've tried several times & never get anything except an answering machine.
I would like to respond to the 'How Are We Doing?' survey but can't seem to find it on Verizon Wireless website. Can you be more specific as to how I get to the survey?
35. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"malevolence May 30, 2009 2:33 PM (in response to lifesgreat)
Lifesgreat, I did a reverse lookup and that number led to: http://www.Clubm8.tv
It looks like one of those adult texting websites and someone must be using your number fraudulently. Did you get the premium text messaging service blocked by Verizon?
I wish you luck at getting the Clubm8 people to give money back, but if I was in your place, I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.
I think Verizon may have in effect acted as an agent by making this kind of fraud possible and facilitating it. As I've written before, Verizon will get serious about this problem if they start to feel the pain as well. And the only way to make Verizon feel the pain is to make it cost them. Otherwise, this kind of fraud is just more profit for them.
As far as "how are we doing?", that kind of outlet is mostly to allow you to vent. The customer no-service people will probably not respond. You could write actual letters to the corporate officers, copies to FCC, BBB, consumer agencies, etc. That would be more likely to get a response.Message Edited by malevolence on 05-30-2009 08:33 AM

WOW!! The anger! Just FYI: Yes, Verizon DOES care what you think. No, Verizon DOES NOT need the small percentage they would receive from your PSMS. Yes, most reps WANT you to be happy, healthy phone users. YOU pay their bills! By all means, block PSMS BEFORE problems arise, especially if you're in the habit of NOT reading the fine print. Finally, any rep at a call center has the ability to see the flow of the double opt-in requirements for these services, educate you as to how EXACTLY to opt out or unsub or cancel the subscription, and yes, they can even CREDIT you, but not indefinitely. The rep can, and will, process the cancellation for you, but you are ultimately responsible to cancel.
And please oh please, if you EVER hear the words "my supervisor will just tell you the same thing" ABSOLUTELY ask to hear the same thing from the supervisor. Chances are, they will go above and beyond to satisfy you, close contract end date or not.
37. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"malevolence Jun 5, 2009 12:48 AM (in response to madmia){no personal comments please}
OK, WendyM, rather than asking an individual responder who claimed something on behalf of Verizon if they actually represent Verizon, I will instead ask:
Are there any Verizon representatives willing to respond? Nothing personal in any of that.
I did read the fine print. I just read it again, at least the print in my contract. I saw nothing where Verizon notifies the customer that some slime can use our number to create bogus charges and Verizon will take our money with no questions asked. The reps I talked to mentioned nothing about double opt in conditions - and if they noticed that, in my case, there hadn't been a double opt in, that detail escaped their consideration while they were telling me that Verizon could do nothing but block the service at my request. In case this is confusing to you, I did not opt in even a single time and Verizon cannot produce any evidence of it. And, I didn't see the fine print that the only way I could get my money back was to beg the thieves for a refund, as I was told.
I can surmise from your message that the words, "my supervisor will just tell you the same thing", must be used frequently by Verizon's customer no-service people. I never heard it though. What I did hear was something that translates into, "Tough luck."
Like I mentioned in my previous message, the bitter taste of poor service remains long after the good feeling of a cheap phone has gone. Yes, I am angry.
This is not to say that Verizon cannot redeem itself. There are things they could do to fix this. And they could produce some prosecutions for fraud or larceny. I'd settle for a discreet , personal, private chat with some of the perps. I'm not holding my breath for any of it. Verizon, if you're listening....surprise me.Message Edited by WendyM on 06-04-2009 09:39 PMMessage Edited by malevolence on 06-04-2009 06:48 PMMessage Edited by malevolence on 06-04-2009 06:48 PM

As a followup on a couple of the replies:
1) I can no longer find the survey page on the Verizon site to which I previously responded. Perhaps Verizon was not receiving the reaction it was anticipating from its customers.
2) I should have been clearer as to the response I received from the Verizon representative when I called about the fraudulent charges on my bill. I asked to talk to someone who could help me with these false entries on my bill. I was told by that customer representative (who Verizon holds out on its website as the person who has authority to help me with my billing questions) that NO ONE above him could do anything about my problem.
3) While is true that Verizon SHOULD be interested in keeping its customers happy, what most people on this thread have been discussing is what Verizon DID to them. Just because a large corporation has a vested economic interest in keeping its customers happy does not mean that it will necessarily do so, and it is apparent that for some reason Verizon has been trying to ignore and downplay this problem. It may be that Verizon still has internal policies in place from when Verizon was making a lot more from these fraudulent text messages. I was told that previously the charges on these phony messages were $29.99, which is a lot of money to split between Verizon and the texting crooks.
4) Finally, it might make short-term internal economic sense for Verizon to try and stonewall its customers on these fake messages. While the long-term economic results are probably negative, it may be that certain profit goals need to met for purposes of realizing bonuses, stock options, etc., especially if these goals are not tied to any negative long-term feedback regarding lost customers. As news events have recently shown, large corporations can have internal economic goals and policies which are non-rational and extremely destructive towards the company as a whole.
39. Re: Being Billed For "Premium Text Messaging"Rockstar01 Jun 6, 2009 11:36 PM (in response to Moriturus)
So I understand that most people just plainly do not understand what premium messaging is and what contract they signed with vzw states so I am gonna help out.
In the customer agreement that everyone with vzw accepted via physical contract signing or accepting a contract term via automated system which holds same value as a paper contract it states: You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges and fees we bill you or that the user of your wireless phone accepted (read again, accepted!!!), even if you weren't the user of your wireless phone and didn't authorize its use.
Okay, It is a third parties subscription service that you have to double or even sometime triple opt-in! you have to accept the Terms & Conditions of that service before you start recieving charges for the service! They dont just appear out of thin air like most people think they do! People dont realize that verizon wireless and us as consumers have the ability to view what text message was sent and recieved, to whom, on what day and what side it was initiated on! So whenever you get a charge for premium messaging on the bill you should go to your my verizon account first and view the text usage on that day and that will prove to you that the charges are valid! Now I know that alot of people don't agree with third party subscription services but a lot of people depend on them day to day! Just little things such as weather bug updates, some schools send out school announcements via text now, also the ones that most people dispute the 9.99/month subscriptions. So they arn't all bad like most people think they are and if you do some reaserch vzw is the lowest charging carrier out of all carriers! The other ones range from $15-19/month and VZW is the one that contributes to the least amount of the third party subscription services out there as well! So I do want to make sure that people are aware that if you do block the premium services that you guys know that so of the little things you use day to day on your phone might stop as well. Just check things out before you make harsh assumptions.

SANFORD, Fla. - The body of a worker was recovered Thursday morning after he was buried in gravel when several train cars derailed in Sanford, according to officials.
[RAW VIDEO: Sky 6 over Sanford train derailment]
The Florida Highway Patrol identified the man killed in the derailment as Christopher Putfark, 36, of Deltona. He leaves behind a wife and children.
The derailment occurred around 6:35 a.m. at the SunRail station on State Road 46 near Airport Boulevard. The incident occurred next to a rail yard where trains are maintained.
According to Florida Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Olson, a Conrad Yelvington Distibutors Inc. freight train delivering ballast, which is gravel or broken stone laid in a railroad bed or used in making concrete, was being pushed from a rail yard to the SunRail construction site when four of the 10 cars derailed and overturned.
Putfark, a "spotter" on the train, was buried by the gravel and crushed by a rail car, the FHP said. Crews used heavy equipment to search for him before finding his body.
"There was quite a bit of tonnage of (rock)," said Olson, who estimated the weight of each carload at 100,000 pounds.20998406
Olson said there was an engineer aboard the train as Putfark stood on the outside of a car at the time of the derailment. It's not know if there were any other witnesses.
Crews will work to upright the derailed cars, Olson said.
"We're going to need even heavier equipment to move the cars," Olson said.
The derailment did not occur on the main rail lines, according to Olson, who added that train traffic should not be affected in the area.
The Florida Highway Patrol will be assisted by FDOT in an industrial investigation of the derailment.
SunRail is a $1 billion commuter train project under construction in Central Florida that will ultimately link DeLand to Poinciana through downtown Orlando, with numerous stops along the way. It's scheduled to start service in 2014, but the entire trek won't be complete until 2016.
"Overall, (the derailment) won't impact (the project," said Olson, adding a caveat that the FHP investigation could potentially cause some construction delays. "The station here is 90 percent complete.'

First, some magic from Jack White and Michel Gondry.
Red hair with a curl
The first time I rode to Adelaide on the Llewellyn I bought another piece of Australiana from Mike Turturs bike shop which was allegedly Brett Lancaster's old Euro Sport frame. The first time Brett's name came to prominence for me was when he won the prologue of the 2005 Giro – beating Stuey who rode a Willier 'fixie' on this occasion.
The prologue was a dead flat kilometre, perfectly suited to the current Olympic Team Pursuit gold medallist.
You may remember the prologue more for what Cipo wore.
On the CN report at the time the only pic of Brett from Shep was this one – and I assumed like 90% of pro cyclists that he was vertically challenged.
I had my doubts as to whether the frame could actually be Brett's.
I've hung onto to it for many years, listed it for sale and had some tyre kickers interested but something about it reasonated for me. The urban legend that Euro's were only built for Australian Team riders, the fact that Bryan Hayes built and painted all the frames a fact I'd learned after interviewing him for piece for RIDE magazine.
I'd accumulated an Athena 11s groupset for the Llewellyn in the background with the intention of having one modern classic road bike, but after the chance encounter with Bryan this January in Adelaide and a intimate tour of the bowels of the Superdrome I was being swayed in another direction. Bryan recalled the frame – but Brett doesn't remember it – or remember it looking like that as he said when he began the AIS program in 1997 they rode the old steel bikes of former riders. I met Brett when I did the Green Edge rider portaits the year the team was launched, and turns out we are a very similiar height. We got talking about classic bikes as he still has his steel track bike with C Record that he gets around Shep on when he's home – risers bars and cap backwards. Surely Shepparton and the Worlds FASTEST HIPSTER!
All this was enough of an emotional canvas build something new.
I dabbled with weight weenieism by swapping the Cinelli steel binder bolt for alloy (40g), standard rail saddle for Ti (80g), C Record pillar for mid 90s Record (80g) and helium for oxygen in the tyres (2 g) for a net gain of 202g. I could have swapped the C Record skewers for alloy / ti (80g) but I love the look of the originals it's the nod to the past I like. It's 9.3kg on the scales.
You'll note I went against all pedal recommendations and am in the minority with Campagnolo Record Ti Pro-fit which are an excellent pedal – just not designed for CX.
I like it a lot.
For the Velospotters:
- Euro Sport frame and fork

A cluster of 56 patients returning from Gambia with falciparum malaria has been noted in several countries of the European Union since September this year. TropNetEurop, the European Network on Imported Infectious Disease Surveillance, collected and reported the cases. Lack of awareness and, consequently, of prophylactic measures against malaria were apparent in the majority of patients.
On 24 November 2008, TropNetEurop, the European Network on Imported Infectious Disease Surveillance (www.tropnet.eu), received information on falciparum malaria cases imported to Denmark. When this information was distributed, further notifications were received from various member sites in the following days. Apparently, the combination of lack of information about their destination and ignorance of potential malaria risks affected travellers throughout Europe.
Denmark All Danish travellers bought their journeys at the same travel agency. All stayed at the coast of Gambia at a beach close to the capital Banjul, none of them were travelling around in Gambia.
Patient 1A man in his late fifties travelled to Gambia for two weeks and returned home in early November 2008. He did not take malaria prophylaxis. He was admitted to a local hospital ten days later with symptoms suggestive of alcohol withdrawal with tremors, difficulty walking, confusion and fever. Malaria was not suspected until family members mentioned that he had been to Gambia, and the diagnosis was first made two days after admission, when parasitaemia was 5.8%. The patient was transferred to a specialised infectious disease unit and treated for cerebral malaria with artesunate and doxycycline, sedated and put on respiratory support in the intensive care unit. The patient is still closely followed up to date, and neurological deficits still continue.
Patient 2A woman in her fifties travelled to Gambia with a friend (patient 3) for one week in early November 2008. She did not take any malaria prophylaxis and was not vaccinated against yellow fever. Onset of symptoms was six days after her return, when she became disorientated and confused. The following days she stayed in bed with fever and headache. Fortunately, a friend visited her at the eight days later and called a doctor who admitted her to a specialised infectious disease unit. She had clinical signs of cerebral malaria and parasitaemia was 2.2%. She was treated with artesunate and doxycycline and discharged on six days after admission with no sequelae.
Patient 3A woman in her late forties travelled to Gambia together with patient 2. She did not take any malaria prophylaxis. According to patient 2 she developed fever and diarrhoea about six days after she returned home. Ten days after her return, she was visited in her home by a general practitioner on call and was advised to see her family doctor the next day. The police was notified on the day patient 2 was admitted to hospital, but found patient 3 dead in her home. Autopsy has confirmed that she died from malaria.
Patient 4A woman in her late forties travelled with a friend (patient 5) to the Gambia for one week in late October 2008. She did not take malaria prophylaxis. Approximately seven days after she returned home, she got diarrhoea followed by fever and headache. After four days she contacted a local hospital because she suspected she could have malaria. The diagnosis was later confirmed at a specialised infectious disease unit in Copenhagen, with falciparum malaria and <1% parasitaemia. Following treatment, the patient was discharged four days later without sequelae.
Patient 5A woman in her late fifties travelled to Gambia with a friend (patient 4) without taking malaria prophylaxis. She developed fever 6-7 days after she returned home. However, malaria was initially not considered. Two days later she was found in the home with high fever and reduced consciousness. She was admitted on a local hospital and transferred to a department of infectious diseases. Malaria smears showed Plasmodium falciparum with 6% parasitaemia. Insufficient ventilation warranted respiratory support. The patient developed a DIC and necrosis/gangrene of eight fingers and toes.
Patient 6A man in his late sixties travelled to Gambia for one week in November 2008 without any malaria prophylaxis. He was diagnosed with malaria seven days after his return with a parasitaemia of 5%. Following treatment he was discharged seven days later without sequelae.
Patients 7 and 8Two brothers in their late fifties travelled together to Gambia for one week in early November 2008. They did not take malaria prophylaxis, nor were they vaccinated against yellow fever. The first brother was initially treated by his family doctor with penicillin for an upper respiratory tract infection, before he was admitted to a department of infectious diseases and diagnosed with falciparum malaria (3% parasitaemia). Then the police was contacted and a search made for the second brother. He was located in a local hospital to which he had been admitted with cerebral symptoms suggestive of alcohol withdrawal. He was transferred to the same department of infectious diseases and diagnosed with cerebral malaria (5% parasitaemia). Both brothers were treated successfully with parenteral artesunate and oral atovaquone/proguanil.
Following these initial reports from Denmark, further information from other countries was added:
FinlandTwelve cases were reported between 3 and 27 November 2008, all Finnish travellers returning from Gambia [1]. Five of these patients were female, seven were male. Age distribution was between 27 and 66 years. Their travel destinations were tourist resorts near Banjul. Nine travellers did not take any chemoprophylaxis, three used chloroquine prophylaxis. Ten of the 12 patients had received information about the malaria risk and recommended chemoprophylaxis. The duration of their stay in Gambia was between one and two weeks except for one patient who stayed four weeks. Three had complications that required treatment in intensive care, but all three recovered. For nine patients, the diagnosis was made within three days of onset of symptoms. The three patients with complications had been diagnosed with a delay of up to eight days.
NorwayThree patients were reported, two men (39 and 71 years-old), and one woman (48 years-old). None of them used chemoprophylaxis during their stay in Gambia. All three patients visited relatives and friends and stayed in and around Banjul. No complications were reported, all patients recovered.
United KingdomNineteen travellers infected with falciparum malaria in Gambia were reported to the Health Protection Agency's Malaria Reference Laboratory between October and December 2008. Their age was between 21 and 62 years. Six patients were female. The majority of patients travelled as tourists (n=9), two visited friends and relatives in the country, two had migrated from Gambia to the United Kingdom (UK), and the reasons for travel of the remaining six patients were unkown. One traveller used chemoprophylaxis with proguanil, 14 took no chemoprophylaxis, and data for the remaining four were not provided.
SpainTwo patients with falciparum malaria were noted in Barcelona, Spain. Both were second generation Gambian migrants visiting relatives in Gambia for the first time. They stayed in rural areas in the country for 11 and 13 months, respectively, and did not use chemoprophylaxis. Both were male, one 14 years-old, the other 16 years-old. One of them suffered from uncomplicated malaria and recovered without complications while the other was treated in an intensive care unit due to hypotension, 9.5% parasitaemia, severe anaemia (Hb: 6.5 g/L), low platelet count: 25.000/µl, hyperbilirrubinaemia and somnolence. The infection was treated with quinine and doxycycline, and both recovered without sequelae.
The NetherlandsIn the Netherlands, 10 Dutch tourists were reported with falciparum malaria after returning from Gambia between 21 September and 26 November 2008. The median age was 48 years (range 43-62), six patients were female. Three cases were related (travel companions). The median duration of stay was nine days (range 7-68). Seven travellers did not use malaria chemoprophylaxis, two used homoeopathic drugs (chininum arsenicosum D8) and one tourist stopped atovaquone/proguanil prematurely. The median shortest incubation period was five days (range 0-18). The median interval between the first day of illness and the date of diagnosis was five days (range 0-17). Seven patients were admitted to hospital for treatment. Two patients, aged 45 and 49, died. Both patients had not used chemoprophylaxis. The time to diagnosis was 17 and six days, respectively [3].
GermanyTwo patients were reported in Germany. Both were male, one 15 years-old, the other 54 years-old. They travelled to urban areas in Gambia for one and two weeks, respectively. None of them took chemoprophylaxis. Both recovered after a largely uneventful clinical course. The 54 year-old patient had been returning to Gambia for 10 years, always without prophylaxis. The 15 year-old patient was in Africa for the first time, travelling alone from Turkey, where he was borne.
CommentDuring the comparatively short time period of two months and a half between September and November 2008, TropNetEurop member sites reported 56 patients returning from Gambia with falciparum malaria. Thirty-two of them were male, and 24 female. The age range was 15-71 years.
While the reasons for travel were quite diverse, a striking lack of effective prophylactic measures was apparent in all. Fourty-five patients had not used any malaria chemoprohylaxis. All seven travellers who indicated that they had taken prophylactic drugs used inadequate or downright wrong ones: two took homeopathic prophylaxis, three used chloroquine only, one used paludrine only, and one stopped taking atovaquone/proguanil too early. No data are available for the remaining four patients. Thus, despite the documented risk of complicated falciparum malaria from Gambia, virtually all patients chose to use no or inadequate prophylaxis [2]. Several were counselled to take this decision by their travel agency, but in a few cases even by their family doctor.
The cluster underlines the necessity of competent pre-travel information and adequate protection in travellers, in particular at times when malaria appears to be decreasing but still remains a high risk for non-immune travellers [4]. Although there probably is an overuse of chemoprophylaxis against malaria among tourists travelling to Asia and Latin America, chemoprophylaxis is a must for most travellers to African destinations, and in particular to west Africa.

I'm not all too sure as to whether I'm missing something, but I don't recall Williamson being mentioned as an Auror... I would have removed it myself if I was certain he had no reason to proclaim the title given to him on his page. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 01:05, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- In Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 36, Fudge is described as looking "wildly around at the Aurors he had brought with him" after entering the Ministry of Magic Atrium after Voldemort's departure, and he orders Dawlish (who is conclusively known to be an Auror) and Williamson to go down to the Department of Mysteries to investigate. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 09:35, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, and sorry about that... I must have missed that part, so again thanks. 220.127.116.11 12:34, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Unless, of course, Harry just assumed ALL of them were Aurors because Dumbledore predicted that they would show up and some actually were members of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad. Hit Wizards fight Death Eaters too, after all. Ninclow 15:45, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
- They are described as Aurors in the narration, not by Harry. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:51, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
I was wondering wether he was the wizard in the red robes in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 who appeared along with Fudge. Williamson also had red robes. Also, that wizard is the first to recognize Voldemort, and so is Williamson. The only difference is that Williamson has a ponytail and that wizard has a long beard. Could Williamson and that wizard be the same? --188.8.131.52 20:47, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hot off the press: 23/05/2016 9:38 am
Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm is rated at 588 MW and will cost £2.6 billion. It uses 84 of the latest 7 MW wind turbines nearly 4X the height of Nelson's Column [651 ft].
That's a costs £4.42 Billion/GW installed.
Beatrice will supply 450,000 homes which works through to a Capacity Factor of 35.9%
It's 'Operational Phase' is 25 years. So over its working life it will deliver 46.2 TW hours of intermittent, low-carbon electricity.
By contrast, Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant will deliver 1513.7 TWh of 24/7, on demand, low-carbon electricity.
33 offshore wind farms, the size of Beatrice, would have to be constructed to deliver the same units of electricity as Hinkley.
33 x £2.6 billion = £85.8 billion.
Hinkley will cost £18 billion, so:
For this money, nuclear power would supply about 4.77X more low-carbon electricity (24/7, on demand).
From that website slide, the area of Beatrice 'eyeballs' at about 18 km x 8 km = 144 sq km
33 such windfarms would occupy an area of 4752 sq km, which is near enough 70 km x 70 km.
That's about the area of the sea's surface shown on the inset map.
Hinkley sits on a site 0.69 sq km in size.

London - Budget airline easyJet was on Wednesday marking the 450th anniversary of the birth of Britain's most famous playwright, William Shakespeare, with an onboard performance of his works at 11 000 metres.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the highest theatrical performance on the flight from Gatwick, near London, to Verona in Italy, the setting of one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet.
The performance is also part of the company's campaign to make April 23 National William Shakespeare Day.
It is promoting sites linked with the Bard of Avon, as he was also known, in order to encourage tourism in Britain. Passengers are being asked to sign a petition which needs 100 000 signatures by the end of July to get the campaign debated in parliament.
On Wednesday morning it had just under 700. "Shakespeare's legacy is at the heart of culture, not just in Britain, but across Europe and the rest of the world, and easyJet is proud to be supporting the campaign for there to be a national day in his honour," said easyJet spokesman Paul Moore.
Three actors will perform Shakespeare's entire canon of almost 40 plays in about an hour at the front of the aircraft, easyJet said. Nadhim Zahawi, parliamentarian for Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born and died, has also supported the campaign. "Is it a Bard, is it a plane?" he said. "William Shakespeare is one of Britain's greatest gifts to the world; he was not of an age, but for all time, and I have long argued this sceptred isle should celebrate April 23 as a national holiday," he continued. - Sapa-dpa

Art therapy for children can provide kids with an easier way to express themselves since children are more naturally artistic and creative. A young child is likely to be more comfortable initially expressing him/herself with some crayons and markers, for example, than he/she is going to be at expressing emotions and feelings through words.
A question and answer type of format can be daunting and intimidating for a child, especially when they have to try and explain themselves with their already limited vocabulary. Because of this, art therapy for children can be a much more viable solution for communication than simply having a conversation and talking about things. This can be especially true when it comes to children and traumatic events.
If a child experiences something tragic, that event usually gets buried in their subconscious where it affects them in the future. These types of things are not easy for kids to talk about, especially when there are deep-rooted emotional issues in play. Through art therapy children can help bring these suppressed emotions to the surface so the art therapist can then focus on healing the child's issue(s).
Does Art Therapy Work For Children?
Art therapy and children can be combined to help in a variety of ways, including but not limited to the following:
- Art therapy for mental health problems in children
- Art therapy and child grief and/or loss. Can help children communicate about the death of a mom, dad, or sibling, for example
- Art therapy for bereaved children and/or a child suffering from bereavement
- Art therapy for children with learning disabilities
- Art therapy can help children with emotional problems
- Art therapy can aid kids with their cognitive abilities
- Art therapy can help a child or children with abuse, helping them communicate about physical or sexual abuse
- Art therapy and children cancer patients…can help a child with cancer
- Art therapy for treatment of schizophrenia in children
Those are just a few aspects in which art therapy can help children. Art therapy can also aid a child in achieving better self-awareness, relief from stress or anxiety, learning disorders, autism, and other traumatic experiences.
Through art therapy, children receive treatment that is based on their existing strengths, weaknesses, intrests, and concerns. It can help children of all ages and races.
As you can see, there are many ways art therapy can work for children. Some ways may be more fitting than others, and in future posts, I'll explore a little more deeply how art therapy can help with some of the more specific examples listed above. If you believe your child has serious issues that you'd like to aid with art therapy, I'd contact a certified art therapist near you (sorry, I don't have the list ready yet, stay tuned as I am working on a national/international directory of art therapists).
