The Government's intention to extend this session of Parliament to two years (rather than the usual one) is partly designed to help see through the Brexit process. It also takes one tool out of the Government's kitbag – to use the Parliament Act, whereby the Commons overrules opposition from the Lords, a Bill needs to be presented in two different sessions with at least one year in between each attempt.
Ironically, Brexit is encouraging EU27 markets to look at deregulating some parts of their economies. Germany's Volker Bouffier, vice chair of Merkel's CDU, for example, is reviewing labour laws in a bid to encourage bankers to move there. We expect to see a more 'Anglo-Saxon' model in some sectors on the continent – though the absence of a British brake on statist intervention will be felt more keenly elsewhere.
One of our team used to be a pollster - here's a quick brief on why you really should ignore the polls this time around: first, front page figures are still using national samples – not detailed results from the seats that are actually in contention; second, there is more reliance on the 'art' of polling now than before (it has always been a balance of art vs science) with different companies just guessing likely turnout among key voter groups; and third, there's evidence that voters are increasingly aware of the impact of polling on the political narrative, so they use it to send a message rather than describe how they'll vote – think petitions rather than commitments. There are one or two honourable exceptions, but most polling companies will prove they're lucky rather than good if they get close to the final result.
One consistent feature around the country is Conservative candidates' new-found belief that they are less indebted to the PM than they originally thought. In addition, local pressures to 'deliver' Brexit and social care giving prospective MPs an early lesson in how to rebel effectively, Conservative Whips will have their work cut out.
Over the coming days we will publish a report on public sector spending and Brexit. A summary will be available on this site and the full report will be available by contacting email@example.com
The posturing over Gibraltar looms large in the news but other important details have been missed by media commentators. Here are three examples:
1/ The European Council "will remain permanently seized" of Brexit and "update these guidelines in the course of the negotiations as necessary". In other words, the Commission shouldn't get ahead of itself and the Council will step in, if necessary, to change the negotiating guidelines at any time.
2/ The EU is worried about competition from a low-tax, low-regulation developed economy on its doorstep, so any deal offered by the EU will include restrictions on the UK that deliver "a level playing field" post-Brexit.
3/ The "unique circumstances on the island of Ireland" will mean a hard Northern Irish border will be avoided at all costs – it's more likely the Irish Government will be responsible for customs arrangements for the whole island and the 'hard border' will be on the west coast of mainland Great Britain.
Following criticism from the Public Accounts Committee, the Government will publish a newly updated Security Policy Framework in December, with the aim of "establishing a clear approach for protecting information across the whole of the public sector and delivery partners". The Government will also ask suppliers to provide more details on the costs and performance of the services they deliver – which in turn means suppliers will increasingly find themselves under public scrutiny.
It's widely accepted that Brexit will consume the Government's legislative agenda. However, that does not mean its domestic policies are on ice. Instead, the Government will get businesses to do the things it doesn't have time to create laws for. Whitehall will require companies supplying the public sector to meet an increasing array of new conditions as part of their contracts, with each one supporting a different element of the Government's domestic social policy agenda. As well as being a cost-effective option (for the Government, at least), this approach allows Whitehall to get companies to deliver social change – without ever having to bring a Bill to Parliament.
The Government has confirmed it will require more of its suppliers to hold a Cyber Essentials certificate as a condition of doing business with the public sector. The requirement already applies to companies that handle sensitive data, but it will be rolled out to other private sector suppliers – and to companies in the supply chain of large firms that hold major public sector contracts.
The Government continues to mitigate its funding issues by asking businesses to deliver its social policy agenda.
The Business Minister has just written to the 350 largest UK firms asking them to publish a break-down of staff by race and pay. Coming after the apprenticeship levy (which starts next week) and before a push to get more women on boards over the summer, this latest measure is part of the Government's wider strategy of "social policy by procurement".
Companies that supply the public sector are going to have to meet a growing list of criteria, beyond their core competence, if they want to win major contracts.

We spent 10 days in Turkey this summer -- here are a few photos I would like to share: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/18750890_5f3hGW#1451073259_vrvQ4Vc
Our accomodations were fantastic -- we stayed at the Empress Zoe Hotel in the Sultanahment area of Istanbul. What a cool hotel -- the decor had such a wonderful "old city -- ethnic" flair to it. Breakfast was fabulous -- especially in the beautiful gardens.
In Cappadocia we stayed at what was probably my favorite hotel of any I have ever been to -- The Esbelli Evi. So many people on fodors recommended this place -- and we were not disappointed. I have added a few photos of their rooms in the photo album.
Thanks to all who gave me such great advice!

Wow! very cool post and pictures. Turkey is one of my dream countries I would like to visit. Do you think 10 days was too short or too long? I am sure this is going to be a very memorable trip for you. I would like to visit but only have 6 days beginning of September in between jobs, not sure where to go. What company did you use.
Report Abuse
We spent three weeks in Turkey and it was clearly insufficient.
And yes Suha at Esbelli Evi is a most gracious host at his unusual but most accommodating hotel.
Suha only gives rooms to people his thinks will be good guests and turns away bores. Thus he does not use any other of the on-line services.
Report Abuse
We did not use a company. We booked a flight and the hotels arranged airport pickup and drop off for us.
10 days was all we had -- if we could have stayed longer I would have loved to see Ephesus, the Turquoise Coast and Pamukkale. Even so -- I really enjoyed both Istanbul and Cappadocia immensely.

We took cabs in Istanbul -- we rented a car and drove in Cappadocia.

chickenlittle, we are planning a 10 day trip to Istanbul and capaddocia in Oct. Could you please let us know which rental car agency you used in Cappadocia? How many days did you spend in Istanbul and Cappadocia? Will 3.5 days be a lot in Cappadocia?

So glad you enjoyed the Empress Zoe as much as I did. A very unique property.

We used Economy Car Rental to rent a car. They are an agency not the actual car retnal company, It worked out very well for us. I picked up my car at Istanbul airport, and drove it to our accomodations in suburbs, then drove into Istanbul every day. Once finished, we drove to Ankara, Goreme (Cappadocia), Konya, Antalya, Kas, Marmaris, Bursa, then back to Istanbul.
We did not spend enough time in Cappadocia. I would have liked 3 or more days. We had only ~1.5 days.

Chicken Little:
Pics are wonderful. Nice to know that Suha ("Bill") is still going strong. We stayed with him when he had been just getting the place into hotel shape...you're right...Esbelli Evi is still on our Top Ten list worldwide.
I'm sure his rates are now far beyond the $40 we paid.

Thanks for your comments!
Esbelli Evi arranged airport pick up with a shuttle bus. Once we arrived at the hotel, they arranged the rental car through a local person, pick up and drop off of the car was done at the hotel. It was all arranged by Arda -- the hotel manager. He also spent over an hour putting together our 3 day itinerary with personalized maps so we could drive ourselves around.
We stayed for 3.5 days in Cappadocia. It was just enough time to see everything we wanted to see but at an enjoyable pace. I would not have minded staying another day or 2.

Beautiful pictures - of the food, the mosques, the Cappadocian landscape, the balloons... everything.
Took me right back to my visit there 5 years ago, and longing to return. Next time I plan to head to the turquoise coast, and further East and north.

Lovely pictures.
Where were you hiking around Gorome? Were you mostly in the Red and Rose Valley? I defintely wish I had spent more time hiking around when I was there in the spring.

Axel2DP -- we did a lot of hiking while in Cappadocia. We hiked: Love Valley, Red Valley and Pigeon Valley. (Red Valley at sunset is like a dream)
Other attractions we saw were: Kaymakli; Goreme Open Air Museum; Goreme National Park; Zelve Open Air Museum (wow); Uchisar Castle . . . .we also enjoyed just driving the countryside and checking out the little villages. We had to stop a couple times for cows and chickens crossing the road.

Loved the balloon shots over Cappadocia. Having visited Turkey I would say Cappadocia was the highlight of my trip. I'm not into rock formations but this site was extraordinary. And looking at your photos of The Esbelli Evi, well what an amazing place to stay. Truly unique all round.

Those pictures are wonderful! Just starting to plan a trip for next October. Could we fly from Cappadocia to Izmir as we really want to see Ephesus. I hear Izmir is really not much to see so would one day at Ephesus be enough time and then back to Istanbul? Any private tour company recommendations for Ephesus? Thanks.
Report Abuse
Yes, you can get a flight from Kayseri to Izmir. Check with Turkish Air (AnadoluJet) & Pegasus. A few direct flights but most via Ankara or Istanbul (eastern airport SAW). Our Izmit to Kayseri went efficiently via SAW. And yes, you can easily 'do' Ephesus & its museum in Selcuk in a day. A guide in Ephesus? Skip one. Just get there when the gates open (8AM ??? - we arrived at 9) with a decent guide book. The avalanche of tour groups arrive at 10.
(btw Nice pictures Chicken)

Coded for Violence: The Horror Stories of Josh Simmons (Spoilers Below)
The Furry Trap: Horror Stories, 2004-2011 by Josh Simmons (Seattle, WA: Fantagraphics, 2012) is not a collection of horror stories in the usual sense of the word, like knife-wielding maniacs or supernatural monsters, although these things make their appearance in Simmons's book, too. Rather, the horror of The Furry Trap is like that found in war, with dismemberment, birth defects, horrible deaths, animal cruelty, torture, incest, rape, and crimes against the innocent. The level of violence is so extreme that I found myself wondering at times why I was reading it, why anyone would want to read such a thing, why anyone would create such a thing. While I can't speak for Simmons, I found within The Furry Trap, especially the story "In a Land of Magic," and the eight-panel comic "Guns Muscles Guns," an exploration of the often unspoken codes that justify violence in fiction. This forced me to examine my own desire for violent entertainment, while also delivering up a literally embarrassing abundance of violent entertainment. The Furry Trap works as both a serious, formalistic piece of literary art and, as Josh Simmons put it to me in an email, "a kind of fucked up fun." So have your cake and screw it, too.
"In a Land of Magic" appears to be a simple, if twisted, tale of good versus evil. The main characters are Hester, a female fairy, and her elf boyfriend, Lothar. They live in the titular Land of Magic, a brightly colored, medieval-European fantasyland straight out of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, a place where animals cavort happily with fairy folk in front of a bright pink castle. Despite all of this, however, Lothar believes he and Hester "should not limit ourselves to thus," and admits to "ponder[ing] upon the land beyond." The land beyond is the Dark Forest, self-proclaimed domain of the "evil" wizard Arachnad the Terrible and his foul-mouthed dragon sidekick, Drog-Non, who blast Lothar and Hester with a lightening bolt for trespassing in their territory. Lothar recovers and kills Drog-Non in a violent but funny way, something Bugs Bunny might do but with blood and guts instead of blown off beaks that can simply be reattached. He then incapacitates Arachnad and commits an act of sexual violence so horrible I would have thought it unimaginable, but there it was, in a comic book of all places, committed by the hero against the villain.
It was at this point that I wondered why I was reading something so horrible. Then I remembered a funny but seemingly throwaway comic on the indicia page, right before "In a Land of Magic." Entitled "Guns, Muscles, Guns," this brief strip depicts a white man firing an Uzi at what appears to be a black man with a shotgun hiding in an abandoned house. The white man has a cleft lip, while the black man has a shaved head and a bulging crotch. The black man waits in the house, silent and sweating, until he pops out, shotgun extended from his groin, and blows off the white man's head, cleft lip and all. This comic summarizes the plot of almost every ultraviolent action movie made in the 80s, and many action movies made since. The hero proves his virility, or his proficiency or compassion or bravery or cool, by defeating a villain in self-defense, with said villain preferably being visually unattractive in some way, whether low class or ugly or disfigured or bald—or disfigured and bald.—or gay or from an undesirable race. The fact that the hero of "Guns, Muscles, Guns," is bald and black just reflects the changing times. Baldness is spun as sexy, and in today's PC environment, villains are more likely to be homophobes and racists. As soon as they say something culturally insensitive, you just know they're going to get clobbered.
With this in mind, I was able to re-read "In a Land of Magic" and see how obviously Simmons was coding the story for justified violence, setting us up for something over the top. Hester and Lothar come from a place where different species get along in harmony, like the lion laying down with the lamb. They're the good guys, and they're in love, and fantasy stories are all about good defeating evil through the power of True Love (besides Sleeping Beauty, see also Legend and The Princess Bride). And while Hester and Lothar don't bear much resemblance to the heroes of Sleeping Beauty, Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, Arachnad and Drog-Non are very similar to Maleficent and Diablo, the movie's villains. Maleficent is an evil sorceress with an evil-sounding name and green skin, a color of illness and decay, while Arachnad is an evil sorcerer with an evil-sounding name and gray skin, a color of illness and decay. Maleficent has a pet raven and can turn into a dragon, while Arachnad just has a dragon. Drog-Non even insults our heroes with sexist, homophobic language, calling them, "Shit-whore[s]," "Ripped cunt[s]," "Cock-sucker[s]," and "Faggot-clown[s]". While we may not want Lothar to horribly kill Arachnad and Drog-Non, we probably wouldn't mind if they accidentally fell to their dooms.
But when Lothar does horribly kill Arachnad, it reveals the hypocrisy of violent entertainment, from Disney to Bruce Willis. We want a bit of action but we want it presented to us in a way that still says violence is wrong, where only the bad guys are tarnished from its use, leaving us heroic and innocent. We want different species to get along with each other the way they do in the Land of Magic. In children's stories, hunters and predators are usually the bad guys, whether in Bambi, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Fox and The Hound, or the occasional Muppets sketch. But most of us still eat meat.
Classic myths and legends had a different way of dealing with the violence used by heroes. In his article "The Epilogue of Suffering," critic Patrick Colm Hogan points out that in most classic myths and legends, a hero's story ends not with his or her triumph over evil, but in dealing with the consequences of using violence to defeat evil. Sometimes they are even killed themselves. Or to put it more succinctly, "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword." In this way, classic myths and legends are more realistic than today's action entertainments. Have you ever seen an action movie in which the hero suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder? Or a hero that suffers more than the most casual of flesh wounds? Usually it's the sidekick or comic relief that gets carted off to the hospital, while the hero limps off, sans-medical attention, with his woman. Supporting characters in action films tend to not even be shocked by the hero's willingness and ability to deal out violence, but wouldn't you look at your friend or lover differently if they killed someone, even in self-defense?
The common response to all of this would be that movies—especially action movies—are not supposed to be realistic, that we all know they're fantasies. But doesn't this make us even more like Lothar? Leaving the safety of our modern Land of Magic, exploring the Dark Forest of the subconscious, looking for trouble. That's why Lothar's actions are so shocking: they force us to ask, "Is this really what we wanted?"
There's nothing wrong if the answer is yes. Despite all our handwringing, watching violent movies, reading violent comic books, and playing violent video games is a lot healthier than going out and actually being violent. In his email, Simmons said "I don't want to wag a finger in anyone's face, necessarily, as much as re-frame the things we're used to seeing in order to maybe think about them a little deeper. How we often consume entertainment with a sort of sublimated, hypocritical bloodlust." That's what The Furry Trap did for me: it gave me a deeper appreciation of genre fiction, the way we code violence to justify it, and the difficulty we have in separating a representation from the thing it represents.
The Furry Trap also features a Batman parody called "Mark of the Bat;" like "In a Land of Magic," it gives us far more violence than we probably wanted while also removing the code that would justify that violence. Simmons's Batman doesn't seem to be acting out of an altruistic desire to help people, or even avenge his parents' death: he just likes hurting people, including himself. Over-the-top violent superhero parodies are nothing new, of course, but the disturbing irony of people going to see a violent spectacle and getting the real thing instead is what The Furry Trap is all about.

Secure wireless LAN for St Joseph's College
Aruba Networks
: 08 October, 2009
(Application Story)
UK College in Swindon takes Aruba Wi-Fi network for secure access to network services and the ability to manage mobile devices
Aruba Networks has announced that St Joseph's Catholic College has deployed an Aruba Wi-Fi network throughout its Swindon, UK campus. The school recently relocated to a new £21million purpose-built facility and needed secure wireless access for its teaching staff, students and campus guests. St Joseph's selected Aruba based on its ability to effectively manage numerous mobile devices, integrate wireless security, and provide simple guest access for visitors.
"Staff and students work most effectively when there is unfettered access to the information they need, and our new Aruba wireless network makes that possible," said Steve Harlow, Building and Systems Manager for St Joseph's Catholic College. "Every teacher at St Joseph's has been provided with his or her own Wi-Fi enabled laptop which is used for lesson preparation and to support teaching in class. The wireless network must therefore be fully operational and secured at all times, and allow roaming around the building as teachers and students use laptops in all areas of the college. The Aruba solution does this perfectly. We selected Aruba because it offered the most secure and dependable wireless network - in other words, it was a far better solution than the other leading vendors we considered. Moreover, it was also the most cost-competitive solution presented to us."
The new school building is situated in a residential area and as such, the network is potentially exposed to the threat of wireless intrusion attempts. St Joseph's therefore mandated the use of a secure wireless architecture that could simultaneously mitigate the risk of intrusion while still supporting a mobile environment in which staff and students could roam.
"Since we commissioned the Aruba network, we have seen 100% up-time and no successful intrusion attempts," continued Harlow. "In addition to electronic learning applications, we also use the Aruba network to control our main A/V system - including projectors, screens, lights curtains and microphones - something possible only because of the wire-like stability of the network. We are now deploying new cost-saving applications over the network, too, including a wireless student registration system and Remote Access Points that allow us to securely access the network remotely from home or while travelling."
To deliver a best-in-class wireless experience, Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) software lowers deployment and maintenance costs by automating site surveys and using infrastructure-based controls to optimise the performance of Wi-Fi clients in real-time. Acting on their own, Wi-Fi clients do not always work cooperatively with other clients, or select the optimal band, channel, and access point. These issues are exacerbated in settings with densely packed users such as lecture halls and libraries. By controlling how Wi-Fi clients interact, ARM ensures that data, voice, and video applications have sufficient network resources, including airtime, to operate properly.
Aruba's Remote Access Point (RAP) technology is designed to deliver the enterprise network to remote locations and mobile users, offering the security of a VPN without the overhead or expense of managing client software. Ideally suited for travelling employees, telecommuters, and branch offices, RAP uses Ethernet or broadband cellular to network users anywhere.
"In schools, as in enterprises, users have come to expect reliable network access from wherever they're working, it being incumbent upon the network to unobtrusively overcome any impediments," said Bob Vickers, Aruba's UK sales director. "ARM technology is the invisible hand that adjusts client and network behaviour to make Aruba's Wi-Fi networks work so effectively. St Joseph's is an example of how easy to deploy and reliable Wi-Fi can be."

Living a long time is one of our deepest wishes, and medical and economic progress offers the hope that it will be fulfilled. Some scientists say that the average human lifespan could reach 90 years or more by mid-century. But what if our wish is granted? What good is a longer life if we cannot maintain our standard of living?
The fundamental difficulty in planning for enhanced longevity is that we do not know whether it will really happen. Life expectancy might well be only 80 years by mid-century – about where it is now in advanced countries – if medical progress is disappointing or is offset by new threats or hazards. If we make provisions for long lives that are cut short, we will have wasted huge amounts of precious economic resources. But if we fail to make provisions for lives that are longer, many elderly people will be condemned to poverty.
The whole direction of any country's economy depends on longevity. A huge number of elderly people would mean a lot of people wanting to live in certain locations, seeking certain kinds of living quarters, and consuming certain kinds of services. The types of corporations that will succeed, the buildings that are constructed, and the research and development that will be needed all depend on the demographics of demand.
This is true of the global economy as well. In his 2005 book The Future for Investors , Jeremy Siegel argues that differences across countries in longevity will interact with differences in wealth levels to form a fundamental determinant of economic relations among countries. Trade flows may be driven substantially by longevity: countries expecting a relatively large number of elderly in the future should be running trade surpluses now and deficits later.

How Do I Transport Roses?
Decorating By sweetsadiecakes Updated 22 Jul 2009 , 7:02pm by sweetsadiecakes
OK. I know you CC'rs have an easy solution to this... How do I transport these gum paste roses 2hrs so that I can put them on the cake at the location?[img][/img]
When I did it, I had the roses (on wire or lollipop sticks) stuck into a styrofoam block and then that was in a box. You could also use a styrofoam ice chest and just stick the stems into the bottom of the inside of it, then put the lid on. My dad gets a little ice chest every month (with his meds inside ) and so I've sent roses home with my sister that way and they survive the way she drives and the trip to Austin.
OK. I've got them in a styrofoam block (I tried to attach a pic) so I'm just going to do that and satbalize the block itself. Thanks so much!

FROM nude beach parties and wild bashes hosted by the likes of Paris Hilton, to gay clubs, gambling and showgirls, Beirut is rapidly earning a reputation as the sin city of the Middle East.
Clubbers don't bat an eye in popping $1000 for a bottle of champagne to guarantee attention at a trendy nightspot, where less is more as far as women's wear is concerned.
Lebanon has seen it all. A bloody 1975-1990 civil war, military occupation, high-profile assassinations, and unending political instability.
Four years ago, Beirut's seaside Riviera Hotel witnessed an assassination attempt targeting a leading anti-Syrian minister.
Today, it is keeping the neighbourhood awake as partygoers drink and dance the night away.
"We have clubs in Cairo,'' said 26-year-old Wafiqm an Egyptian financial consultant, as he swayed to the beat on a hot August night holding a glass of whiskey and puffing on a Cuban cigar.
"But nothing beats this. I need to come here to unwind."
A record one million-plus tourists visited Lebanon in July alone.
Many of those flocking to Beirut are Lebanese expatriates, but Arabs and Europeans have also arrived en masse to take advantage of Lebanon's glamorous nightlife.
Sami, 30, flew in from Germany for a brief reprieve this summer, which he says turned out to be more exhausting than he had anticipated.
"I'm on three hours of sleep," he said.
"I had barely started on my coffee when I got to the beach and my friends threw it away and replaced it with vodka in a plastic cup."
But while some Lebanese believe the worst is over and their country has shed its reputation for political turbulence, 25-year-old Ziad, a Lebanese engineer based in Qatar, believes the summer of 2009 is merely a breathing space.
"I think they want us to have our summer before they get back to business," he said, referring to the country's rival factions.

how do you like your propane mowers
In second year and I think I get a few more HP with propane. I like the rear
mounts it makes the front ride light. That vangard is a beast.
CNN came over and asked me to stop mowing for 20 minutes. They were doing a follow up story on the plane bomber that hit the IRS building a couple years back. This is what is left of his burned out home. Guess the big
Vangard was toooo loud for them. I was on the other side of the cement fence
Who pays to get these holding ponds cut, how would you get into that?
These holding ponds are normally mowed by the city. But since the city is straped for money they only mow a few times a year. The HOA gets pressure from homeowners close to them to mow. So it is part of your contract with the HOA to do the ponds. But on the other hand many of these ponds are not mowed by the city and are part of the mowing contract. The ponds are like the golden egg. They fill up with sediment and the city inspects and then we get to clean that up. We got a $7K bid on one of our HOA properties right now. It is totally gated so we will have to take the
stuff out with wheel barrows thru the backyard of a homeowner.
Wanta guess what brand of blower is the best seller in our market?
do you own all of those
Do not buy the Echos with the small filter bolted to the carb like you see in the picture. Only buy the larger top mount filters. The small filters have issues with getting oil on them from the carb. The top mount filters may last a year or longer but the small ones may be ruined by oil in as little as a month. I switched my carb mount blowedrs to top mount with about $45 in parts. Hopefully Echo put better coils in the newer blowers. My three Echo blowers and one Shin clone need new coils about every 12 months but it's covered by the warranty for like because it's such a well known problem.
no it was a local dealer getting ready for spring sales show.
how many hours do you get per tank of propane? Do you notice any difference in power? Any idea on conversion costs?

I have been talking to this guy Tim for like a month. He asked me for mysnapchat and snapchats me like every day, but I think they're just mass snapchats he sends to everyone and I'm like the only one who replies so we have a conversation. I went to visit friends at the college he goes to. When I got there I went to my friend robs room. As soon as I got to robs room he said Tim is on his way. Like 2 minutes later Tim was at the door and I let him in. Him and rob were messing around and like wrestling on the floor for like a good 30 to 45 minutes and then eventually called a truce. Then Tim sat in a chair right across from where I was sitting and threw a basketball at me. We started playing catch with just us 2 for like an hour. We had like competitions and the ball would knock stuff off the desk and wall and we would just crack up and continue throwing it at eachother. He then put the ball down and started picking up things off robs desk and throwing them at me. He even shot a rubberband at me. I don't know if he is just immature or I he was acting like that because he likes me? What do you guys think
Is he just immature or is he flirting with me? Could he possibly like me?

Two Steps to Give Yourself the Best Vertigo
A morning tip for today. And probably tomorrow, too.

First: Read our story about daredevil Felix Baumgartner, the man who jumped from a balloon 24 miles high, flying down to earth, breaking the sound barrier, and, somehow, landing intact. As he told us: "Heroes don't wear diapers. It's just not cool."
Second: Since heroes do wear cameras, watch the newly released video (above) of Baumgartner's fall to earth. Good lord.

Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday
Thursday 5
BIG CHILL. Beating the peak becomes a metaphor for even larger themes in Patrick Meyers' K2, presented by the PCC Theater Department.
The setting is an icy ledge high on K2, the world's highest mountain. Two climbers, Taylor and Harold, deliberate on the Big Chill when Harold suffers a broken leg and is unable to descend. Their philosophical dilemma is highlighted by a breezy Greek chorus representing the spirit of the mountain.
Performance is 8 tonight in the PCC Black Box Theatre, 2202 W. Anklam Road. Performances continue at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday, through February 14. Tickets are $7, $4 for students and seniors, and available at the PCC Center for Fine Arts box office, the West Campus cashier, and at the door. For information, call 206-6986.
BIG PICTURE. Peter Smith, of the UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, helped create the remarkable camera that recorded surface images of Mars on July 4. Now he brings that big picture down to earth with a discussion of the Mars Pathfinder landing, sponsored by Arizona Photographic Collectors.
Free lecture is at 7:30 p.m. in the Sabbar Shrine Temple, 450 S. Tucson Blvd. Call 529-5072.
YEAR OF DANCE. Hard to believe how time flies, how it pivots, parades and prances. And its hard to believe Tucson's venerable Orts Theatre of Dance is already leaping into its 14th season with a concert featuring four premier performances, all under the skilled hand of artistic director Anne Bunker.
Preview performance is 10:30 a.m. in the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. All tickets are $5. Performances continue at 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. tomorrow, and 8 p.m. Saturday. Advance tickets for upcoming performances are $8, $6 for seniors and students, and are available at Antigone Books, Bentley's, Silverbell Trading, or by calling 744-4004. Tickets are $2 more at the door.
Friday 6
TALENT IN TANDEM. Top-notch musical talents Stefan George and Pat Maloney combine forces for an evening of story and melody. A longtime Tucsonan, George has undergone countless incarnations, from his days with the ornery Brain Damage Orchestra to his current solo work and performances as half of the Arm and Hammer duo.
Maloney hails from northern Arizona, and recently made an appearance at Austin's heavyweight South by Southwest music conference. His latest CD, The Loneliness Birds, has also garnered plenty of praise.
Performance is 8 tonight in the Friends Meeting House, 931 N. Fifth Ave. Tickets are $5, with a $1 discount for Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association, Tucson Blues Society and KXCI members, available at the door. For details, call 624-9006.
SPATIAL BODIES. Founded in 1973, the Pilobolus Dance Theater is known for constantly redefining the possibilities of bodies in space and time, combining dance, drama, acrobatics and sculpture to create fantastic forms out of their own movements. "Pilobolus is that rarity of rarities: a profoundly serious artistic enterprise that has successfully reached out to a popular audience," reports the New York Daily News. "If you've never seen Pilobolus at work, now's the time."
And now's your chance. The current troupe--featuring a half-dozen young dancers--returns to Tucson to celebrate is 25th anniversary with two performances in UA Centennial Hall, located on campus inside the main gate east of Park Avenue.
Pilobolus will offer a full-length performance at 8 tonight. Tickets range from $23 to $36. Tomorrow, the troupe presents a one-hour, no intermission matinee performance at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $10 to $20, half-price for students and children under age 18. All tickets are available at the Centennial Hall box office, Dillard's, the TCC box office, or by calling 621-3341.
Saturday 7
SOUNDS OF TIME. These days he's the reigning granddaddy of that fine all-American sound known as bluegrass music. And tonight, Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys bring their timeless mountain sound to Tucson.
A native of the Virginia hills, Stanley began his career in the late '40s with his brother, Carter. "We were interested in the old-time sound right from the start," Ralph says of the Stanley Brothers. "I don't know anybody else who really sounded like us, except maybe the Carter Family, and a group from North Carolina called Mainer's Mountaineers."
In 1992--some 50 years after they began playing--Ralph and Carter Stanley were inducted into the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Now, at age 70, Ralph continues his 52nd year of singing and playing this special brand of homegrown folk music. Performance is 8 p.m. in the Berger Performing Arts Center, 1200 W. Speedway. Advance tickets are $14 and $20, and available at Hear's Music, Mars-Hall Music Center and the Folk Shop. Tickets will be $3 more at the door. For information, call 296-6412.
CULTURAL THREADS. Native Seeds/ SEARCH is a Tucson group working to preserve the traditional crops, seeds and farming methods that have long sustained native peoples. Today they enlarge that cultural picture with a weaving presentation by ethnologist and NS/S co-founder Dr. Barney Burns.
For decades Burns worked in Mexico, where he documented and helped stimulate a revival of native dye plant cultivation among the Mayos of southern Sonora and northern Sinaloa. He's also co-author of The Other Southwest: Indian Arts and Crafts of Northwestern Mexico. His slide presentation will include dyes and equipment, a discussion of the current state of weavers and weaving, and plenty of Mayo ethnobotany. Gorgeous Mayo blankets and other craft items will be up for sale.
Presentation runs from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Arizona Historical Society auditorium, 949 E. Second St. Admission is $8, $6 for NS/S members. Call 622-5561 for details.
HAUNTING MELODY. Violinist and UA professor Mark Rush says he got the name for his chamber music ensemble in a rather unusual way. "The seed for Coyote Consort was planted one night while listening to a group of coyotes raising a ruckus not far from our house here in Tucson. An idea for a mixed chamber music ensemble had been brewing for some time, as had the desire to present concerts in a new way...Coyote Consort seeks to program exciting chamber music masterworks, many of which are infrequently heard in live concerts."
Tonight, the group will display its innovative skills with a debut concert at the UA. Besides Rush, the group includes his wife, pianist Tannis Gibson; flutist Judith Pearce; clarinetist Jerry Kirkbride; and cellist Nancy Green.
Performance is 8 tonight in UA Crowder Hall, located in the Music Building at the southwest corner of the pedestrian underpass at Speedway and Park Avenue. Tickets are $20, half-price for students and children under age 18, available at the Centennial Hall box office, the TCC box office, Dillard's, or by calling 621-3341.
Sunday 8
ONE AMONG MANY. Music from the '60s right up through the '90s sets the tone when Singles Unlimited hosts its Singles Dance Parties every Sunday night in Gotham in the New West. Everyone between the ages of 21 and 61 is welcome at these mix-and-match extravaganzas, which also feature free gourmet chow, along with cake and coffee.
Event runs from 6:30 to 1 p.m., with food served between 6:30 and 8 p.m., in Gotham in the New West, 4385 West Ina Road. Admission is $6. Call 888-8002 for details.
SEASONAL SPOTTINGS. Spend an educational day in the lush grasslands of southern Arizona when the Tucson Audubon Society hosts its Winter Sparrow Workshop. You'll learn how to tell different species apart, along with details about their natural history and habitat. And there's a chance you'll also spot hawks, antelope or deer along the way.
Event is $25, $15 for society members. For time, location and other details, call 624-4745.
VISUAL DIARY. Perhaps best known for his ceramic tile and relief art, Andrew Rush prefers to document his travels through the United States, Europe and Mexico with watercolors and a brush. A number of those visual footnotes appear in his new exhibit, Travelogue.
"The medium is easy to take along," Rush says, "and is my way of contemplating the world as I travel...a dimension that photographs never capture."
Exhibit runs through March 1, with an opening reception from 3 to 6 p.m. today, in Las Mañanitas Gallery, 1070 E. Miles St. Regular gallery hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For information, call 388-9911.
Monday 9
AND THE BEAT GOES ON. They've been around since 1957, and prior to the 1980s, their record sales were second only to the Beatles. In the '50s and '60s, they repeatedly landed on the charts with smash hits like "Tom Dooley," "MTA," "Scotch and Soda" and "Worried Man Blues." Now the Kingston Trio bring their eternal sound to Tucson for a pair of performances.
Amazingly enough, the trio still includes original members Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds. Rounding out the vocal group is George Grove, who's been on board since 1976. They're backed by Paul Gabrielson on bass, and Ben Schubert on fiddle and guitar.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow in the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. Tickets are $18 and $20, with $1 senior discounts, available at the Arizona Theatre Company box office, Dillard's, or by calling 622-2823.
VISIONS REVEALED. Ever stroll through an art gallery, pausing to gaze thoughtfully at strange and exotic works, only to wonder just what the hell they're supposed to mean?
Well, you're not alone. Luckily, today Tucson Museum of Art Docent Laurie Dryden helps enlighten us on the deeper meaning of it all with a lecture titled Picture, Picture, What are You Saying? She'll discuss the link between emotions and art, and a work's often hidden language.
Free lecture is 1:30 p.m. in the TMA, 140 N. Main Ave. For details, call 624-2333.
Tuesday 10
PUPPET MASTERS. We know they possess enormous resources and vast power. But sometimes it's not clear just how many strings multi-national corporations really pull on the global stage, and how they relentlessly manipulate public opinion.
Award-winning journalist and UA professor Jacqueline Sharkey discusses this troubling state of affairs with a lecture titled Multinational Corporations: How The Media Covers Them and Their Effects Upon U.S. Military Involvement.
She'll review the history of news reporting on global business dealings, and how financial considerations often drive our military adventures. That's no trifling matter, when decisions on how these issues are covered--or whether they're covered all--is made in the boardroom. Such a situation can squash any hope for meaningful discourse, and rock the very foundations of a free and democratic society.
Free lecture is 7 p.m. in the Unitarian Universalist Church, 4831 E. 22nd St. Call 623-8905 for information.
Wednesday 11
FAMILY TIES. The Johnstone twins were separated at birth when their mother was forced to give one of them away. Years later they happen to meet. One wealthy, one poor, and both unaware that they're twins, they become tight friends. Only their eventual rivalry over the same woman threatens to rip apart this latter-day bond in the Arizona Repertory Theatre's production of Willy Russell's Blood Brothers.
Performance is 7:30 tonight in the UA Laboratory Theatre, located in the Drama West Building at the southeast corner of Park Avenue and Speedway. Performances continue at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday through February 28, with 1:30 p.m. matinees on February 15, 21, 22, 28, and March 1. Tickets are $17, $15 for seniors and UA employees, $12 for students, and are available by calling 621-1162.
FEMININE PERSPECTIVE. Nationally recognized authors Pat Mora, Susan Power and Lorraine Lachs will share their personal pilgrimages at Women Writers' Journeys: Real and Imagined, a conference sponsored by the Women's Studies Advisory Council.
Mora writes poetry, nonfiction and children's books. Her most recent works are Aunt Carmen's Book of Practical Saints and House of Houses, and she's known for her powerful Hispanic literary perspective. Susan Power is author of Grass Dancer, a multi-layered portrait of the North Dakota Sioux, and will soon publish her second novel, Strong Heart Society, which centers on the Native American community in Chicago, where she was born and raised.
At age 59, Lorraine Lachs gave up teaching and turned her long-held fascination with China into an engaging novel. Flowers for Mei-Ling explores how Chinese political and historical forces shape the title character and those around her. See the Books section for details.
Together, Mora, Power and Lachs will share their own stories, "reveal the creativity that has kindled the feminine spirit, and acknowledge the joy, anger and sorrow that has given birth to the treasure that is their writing."
Event is 7 p.m. in the Doubletree Hotel, 445 S. Alvernon Way. Cost is $25 per person, and includes a dessert buffet. Tickets are available at the UA Women's Studies office, Antigone Books, The Book Mark, Borders Books and Music, or by calling 621-7338.
City Week includes events selected by Calendar Editor Tim Vanderpool. Event information is accurate as of press time.

During the 70s, 80s and 90s, Cannon was infamous for making low-budget B-movies with international action stars that would earned cult followings despite being pretty bad. The studio was actually the run by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, two Israeli cousins who moved to Hollywood and decided to make movies the way they wanted to make them, with the stars (and nudity and violence) they wanted to see. Mark Hartley's doc Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films tells the complete story behind how it came together, how they earned a place in Hollywood history, and how it all came crashing down. It's a fun, nostalgic doc - fire it up.
First NSFW trailer for Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films doc on Vimeo:
Full description from Vimeo: "A documentary about Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus - two movie-obsessed cousins whose passion for cinema changed the way movies were made and marketed - and the tale of how this passion ultimately led to the demise of the company they built together. Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films is not just a hilarious tale of scattergun movie making, but of two cousins whose passion for cinema changed the way movies were made and marketed, and how ultimately this passion would come between them and the company they built together. This is a one-of-a-kind story about two-of-a-kind men who (for better or worse) changed film forever." The documentary is directed by Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood) and premiered at TIFF & Fantastic Fest. Stay tuned for release details.

I picked up a copy of the laughably liberal Keene Sentinel, just for a hoot.
When one reads a liberal, progressive, Marxist, media production there are certain expectations, such as creating a new cerebral reality to live in.
Keene Sentinel front page: Is the tea party really over?
Three years in a row now liberals have been puzzled by this sudden act of defiance by America's sheep. Weren't we all supposed to be in charge by now and have eradicated all opposition to a Socialist Utopia? I mean "change" won. We have "change."
So in an effort to show emotional support for confused Keene Sentinel readers we have headlines of hope. Maybe the unwashed will go away. Oh please make the Tea Party go away.
But until then can we demonize them some more? It makes a liberal feel more justified.
continued from page one…
Page A 5 has the rest of the standard story about the Tea party under a photo of Tea Partiers labeled as a small crowd, something which anti-war protesters in Keene are never labeled.
Where is any story about Keene's anti-war movement disappearing - since Obama invaded Uganda?
Ooops, sorry, wrong reality.
And right next to the Tea Party story is one about The Sovereign Citizen Movement. What, you didn't guess that was coming?
Occupy Keene gets a free pass for disappearing and having no constructive agenda. The Tea Party is linked on the same page as the secretive anti-government, police killing group of terrorists. Just like the ones Barack Obama hung with in Chicago in his young communist days of rage.
The Sentinel easily drummed up a reason to put the Sovereign Citizen Movement on the same page as the Tea Party.
But isn't the Weather Underground a sort of sovereign citizen movement? They set off bombs and killed police in a more proactive way than the Sovereign Citizen movement. SC members hide away and collect guns and canned goods. I can not think of a SC group who went after the White House. Standoffs in isolated areas mark the killings associated with SC groups. None teach at any universities or are elected to office.
But Keene is a city with a non-reality base – a state college off of which to feed.
And now Keene has its own MoonBat Mobile to drive around in looking for patriotic terrorists.
Talk about a non-reality based city afraid of the dark things they refuse to understand.

(April 16, 4:45 p.m. EDT) -- Although a cloud of ash continues to move through Europe due to the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland, air restrictions have been lifted in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the area over the North Sea that includes the Shetlands and Orkney Isles. But, meanwhile, flights are still grounded in England and Wales, and restrictions there will remain in place until at least 8 a.m. EDT (1 p.m. BST) Saturday -- six hours later than was announced Friday morning.
The latest report from Britain's air traffic control service, NATS, was posted at 3:45 EDT (8:45 BST) and states that airports to the north (including those in Manchester, Liverpool and other cities) may be available for arrivals and departures. However, because the situation changes constantly, passengers are advised to check with their airlines before assuming their flights will proceed as scheduled.
The situation is reviewed every six hours; the next update will be issued at 4 a.m. EDT (9 a.m. BST).
Sky News reported Friday that five flights arrived in Glasgow and Prestwick Friday morning, and one Air Canada flight has departed.
But, for cruise passengers, the outlook for the weekend is bleak as at least another 24 hours of disruption is likely. Airports in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium and the Netherlands are closed today as the ash cloud drifts slowly south and east. In mainland Europe Friday, only 11,000 out of 28,000 scheduled flights were scheduled to operate. Some 24 airports in northern France are closed, while in Germany, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf are closed -- and let's not forget that the main European river cruise season is about to begin, and will probably also be affected by the crisis.
The latest info from the cruise lines.
So what are the options? Eurostar services between London and Paris and Brussels are full; more than 10,000 extra bookings were made yesterday and passengers are being advised only to turn up at the station if they have a confirmed booking. There are some places available on ferries, options which may be taken up by British passengers who choose to drive to their departure port.
Passengers who have booked a fly-cruise and are affected should have heard from their travel agent or cruise line by now about re-booking or joining the cruise at a later stage and if those who booked cruise-only should have been contacted by their airline.
We'll update the news from the cruise lines throughout the day and, of course, the latest from NATS as it's announced, so stay tuned.

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer
Really beautiful ... beautifully colored.
I wish you a nice weekend.
beautiful colorful buildings !
so many people live there !
