Angling to prove that some people who voted in the June 24 runoff election that killed his Senate chances also cast ballots in the June 3 Democratic primary, state Sen. Chris McDaniel on Monday night implored the Mississippi Supreme Court for an emergency order mandating his access to original poll books.
After being forced into a runoff, the tea party-backed McDaniel last month was narrowly defeated by six-term Republican Sen. Thad Cochran. In his post-vote count remarks, McDaniel refused to concede, instead hinting that the vote was illegally tainted by crossover Democrats.
"We have to be absolutely certain that the Republican primary was won by Republican voters," McDaniel said at the time.
Now hoping to persuade the court to order a new runoff, McDaniel's lawyers are arguing their right to view full original voting records, including birthdates. Though Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a Republican, has pointed to an election law that bans the release of birthdates, McDaniel's lawyers have cited one example of a father, son and grandson who share both a name and an address as rationale behind their request.
"That's one. Do you think you're going to overturn this whole election with one example?" Tim Holleman, a Gulfport lawyer representing Harrison County Circuit Clerk Gayle Parker, asked the Mississippi Sun-Herald. McDaniel's campaign team, Holleman said, is merely "grasping at straws."
It's just the latest in the bitter saga, prompted by a pricey primary battle for both candidates.
Initially, McDaniel and his supporters noted a defunct Mississippi law that requires primary voters to support a party's nominee in November. Election officials confirmed before polls opened last month that the law is functionally unenforceable, and that any voter who did not cast a Democratic ballot June 3 was legally cleared to participate in the Republican runoff.

Brilliance—We are relentlessly committed to achieving the high standard of expectation we assign to every internal and external action and interaction.

For the company: it's not enough to do things well; we strive to find ways to do them better and share that information with others. Brilliance is a journey, not a destination. The trip is punctuated with celebration, appreciation, and passionate pursuit of what's next.
Unity—We are individuals who have come together as one with the common purpose of providing remarkable experiences and outcomes for our patients and our teammates. We are the "citizens" of Sport & Spine Rehab and, as such, we accept certain obligations to one another and to future teammates and patients, including that:
- Our rights are wrapped up in the rights of others, and
- It remains the task of all of us to be the authors of the next great chapter in our story.
We own responsibility for everything we do to fulfill the company's vision, and we look for ways to drive the responsibility of others to make our whole greater than the sum of its parts. We respect our colleagues and patients, always striving to do the right things in the right ways. We express that respect in our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
Kaizenovation—We set the bar high by continuously improving through innovation. To more effectively care for patients, attract new referral sources, manage the business, and contribute to the company's success, we use technology as an accelerator. We constantly explore ways to better serve our patients and communities. We apply our ingenuity to favorably influence even the most difficult situations. Our pursuit of "even better" through tireless innovation takes hard work – and our energy is drawn from our passion to set ourselves apart in ways that benefit all those we treat and impact positively.

This was my first project using the Sizzix Big Shot to cut my applique shapes, fusible web and free motion quilting. I did a little thread painting on top the large appliqued leaves and decorative stitched the applique raw edges.
Nice work. Are the curly Q's appliqued too?
Yes, the curly Q shapes were cut with my Big Shot and raw edge fused to the background fabric. I did not decorative stitch them since I don't plan on washing the wall hanging, but the fusible seems to be keeping them firmly fused for now.
Thanks for asking! :)
Lovely - those curly Qs look like a lot of work! :-)
oh I like it. Great work!!!!!

"Not urgent care or walk in centre! You can't..."
Posted by Anonymous
I called this "Urgent Care Walk In Centre" at 9am and was rudely told that they didn't have any appointments and I would have call back back in the morning at 8am to get an appointment at 4;30pm in the following day. I asked whether I could have that appointment slot and I was told like a machine the same quote as before and hung up on! What is going on with NHS?

By Mr. KERRY (for himself, Mr. DAYTON, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. JOHNSON, Mr. LAUTENBERG, Ms. MIKULSKI, Mr. MENENDEZ, and Mr. REID):
S. 2449. A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to reduce the age for receipt of military retired pay for nonregular service from 60 years of age to 55 years of age; to the Committee on Armed Services.
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, for several years members of this Chamber have worked to reduce the age that retired members of the National Guard and Reserve can receive their retirement pay from 60 to 55. Senator Corzine offered such legislation in the first session of this Congress, and I was delighted to co-sponsor it. With Senator Corzine's departure from the Senate for the New Jersey State House, we have reassembled the body of co-sponsors and are introducing this legislation again to signal our continued commitment to addressing this issue.
The issue is simple. If you join the active duty Army at age 18 and serve 20 years on active duty, retiring at age 38, you are immediately eligible to receive retirement pay. If you join the National Guard or Reserves, you may retire after 20 years, but you must wait until age 60 to begin collecting retirement pay. A 38-year-old veteran of the Guard and Reserves must wait 22 years to see any of their retirement pay.
To be sure, everyone recognizes the difference between service in the active component and the reserve component in peace time. But since September 11, 2001, as we are reminded almost daily, we have been a Nation at war. Our National Guard and Reserves have been fully engaged in the War against al Qaeda and the War in Iraq. As of last week, nearly 120,000 reservists were mobilized, including 1,230 troops from my home state of Massachusetts. And sadly, almost 600 members of the Guard and Reserves have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
We can never fully express our Nation's gratitude for their service and sacrifice, but we can try to make benefits and compensation more worthy of the commitment and service shown by America's citizen soldiers. That's exactly what the legislation I introduce today seeks to accomplish. I'm delighted to be joined in this effort by Senators DAYTON, DURBIN, JOHNSON, LAUTENBERG, MIKULSKI, MENENDEZ, and REID.
It is no secret that our all volunteer force is stretched. Recruiting numbers have sagged under the anxieties and concerns of a nation at war. Retention has remained healthy to date, but as the nation approaches its 5th year of war, we must be proactive in seeking to support those who have already done so much for us. Reducing the age at which members of the Guard and Reserves can receive their retirement pay can help make continued service more attractive, retaining those in whom America has already invested so much.
We are asking for more from our National Guard and Reserve members than ever before. In turn we should be providing them with what they deserve and have certainly earned. This legislation would be a small step in the right direction to honor the service of these Americans and to ensure their continued strength.
I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:

A smaller sibling to Endor Furnace in Lakeville, NY
Expand Messages
- The Sterling Furnace in Lakeville, NY
Note the smaller scale, but similar construction.
Sterling Furnace Reconstruction, Lakeville (Tuxedo) NY
On the site of the original furnace, Citi Investing Company reconstructed Sterling Furnace #2 as part of a proposed development in the late 1950s, and then covered it with a neo-classical dome to protect it and give it prominence. No development ever occurred, and while the furnace has stood well, the dome is gone and the wooden structure has fallen into disrepair.
That is interesting. Did you note what one person wrote:
"Iron produced from this furnace (and mined locally from the Sterling Mine) was used to construct the chain that was put across the Hudson to keep the British from sailing north in the Revolutionary War."
Pretty neat...

Okinawan Longevity Secrets: Ukon Turmeric
Called "ucchin" in Okinawa, ukon turmeric is a perennial herb of the well-known ginger family that originated in India, and was brought to the Ryukyu islands in the Age of Commerce. An ingredient in curry powder and known as "turmeric" in English, many people may have eaten it without knowing it as "ukon". Its fleshy rhizome, which resembles ginger, contains a large amount of a component called curcumin (especially UKON Turmeric that is grown on the fertile volcanic soils of Yanburu, Japan, such as: Enagic's Organic UKON Turmeric Supplement, Enagic's Organic UKON Turmeric Tea and Enagic's Organic UKON Turmeric and Honey Soap Bar) , which possesses a variety of medicinal benefits, including the strengthening of liver function, anticancer action, active oxygen elimination action, digestive health effects, antithrombotic action, and sterilizing/antiseptic action. It is also believed to be highly effective against various conditions like cholangitis, gallstones, jaundice, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, diabetes, high blood pressure, and hay fever and other nasal or sinus allergies. Ukon Turmeric is also indispensable as a hangover preventative for many habitual drinkers with overworked livers. Such a wide variety of processed products are available on the market, including dried tips, powder, beverages, and granules, that it is not at all unusual for people to always carry a compact case of pills stashed in their purse when going to the pub. It has been discovered that Ukon Turmeric that has undergone fermentative treatment possesses elevated antioxidant action, a fact that has attracted attention. This technique was developed through joint research between private enterprise and the University of the Ryukyus, where fermentation of Ukon Turmeric reportedly led to a reduction of fat and sugar, and an increase in protein, fiber, and mineral content, as compared to dried Ukon Turmeric. For this reason, it is said to produce a reduction in energy sources such as fat that tend to be consumed in excess, and be able to replenish fiber and minerals that are often lacking. In addition to regular drinkers, adding Ukon Turmeric Tea to water bottles has also become increasingly popular among individuals who are concerned about their health. The cancer prevention effectiveness of Ukon's antioxidant functioning has also been announced at medical conventions, and this benefit was noticed by the Ministry of Welfare of Japan (now the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan, and the Science and Technology Agency of Japan (now the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), who in 1995 launched the New 10-year Strategy to Overcome Cancer, under which was included a "project to prevent cancer through the Ukon pigment component curcumin". There are three types of Ukon, based on the different times at which their flowers bloom: spring ukon (kyouou), fall ukon (ukon), and purple ukon (gajutsu). Of these, fall ukon contains the highest curcumin content at 3.6% (Enagic's Organic Japanese UKON Turmeric Supplement contains a unique blend of both Spring Ukon and Fall Ukon to enhance the absorption and health benefits). The raw rhizome has a unique fragrance and bitterness, but is unsuitable for eating as-is and is best taken either as a high-quality organic UKON Turmeric supplement or in tea form.
In addition to consumption, ukon turmeric has also been used for dyeing. It was said that when babies were dressed in kimono that had been dyed with ukon, they would not be bitten by insects, and it was believed that clothing wrapped in fabric dyed with ukon would remain free of pests. In the Ryukyu Kingdom era, the reputed high quality of ukon produced in Ryukyu led to high demand in Osaka and elsewhere. As a result, the royal government of the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1647 established a monopoly and claimed all profits. History also tells that in the 1830s and 1840s, the Satsuma domain operated a monopoly, and sold ukon at high prices as medicine and dye, attaining significant profit. Ukon Turmeric is from the ginger family and grows in tropical areas of Asia. Varieties include Spring, Autumn, and Purple. Essential oils are characteristic of Spring and Purple turmeric while Autumn turmeric has high concentrations of curcumin (Enagic's Organic Japanese UKON Turmeric Supplement contains a unique blend of multiple Ukon and varieties in order to enhance the absorption and health benefits). To find high-quality UKON Turmeric products, visit our shop that features Okinawa ukon food supplements, teas, and beauty care products here.


text: This is an important notice if you wish to keep your flight data, images and other information private. New information suggests that DJI is collecting and reusing your flight data. DJI has recently updated their "DJI+Discover" app with a new feature to find fellow DJI users flying their drones (DJI app helps you find fellow drone lovers). The app apparently indicates "drone hot spots", i.e. areas where people fly a lot. This has revealed a concerning issue that impacts all Phantom 3, Phantom 4 and Inspire users. These "hot spots" show the locations of people's homes, their common flying places, etc. even if they didn't choose to share their flight data with DJI and only ever used the Go app. This indicates that DJI is collecting information from the Go app in ways that are not apparent to most users even if you don't sync your data to their servers. And it suggests that DJI is intent on using this information for other products and services to their benefit. It is suggested that if you do not want to share your flight data, images, etc. with DJI and allow them to use it for their benefit, you should consider one or more of the following steps: Turn off cellular data and location for the Go app. Set up your home firewall to block DJI servers and use a VPN to access as needed. Purge app data before allowing the Go app to connect to DJI servers. Be aware that the app may behave differently with these services disabled.

BILOXI — The Mississippi Gaming Commission has given site approval to the proposed Biloxi Boardwalk Casino & Resort.
It's the first in a series of approvals required for the casino proposed by Louisiana businessman Chris Ferrara.
Ferrara also owns a fire truck manufacturer in Holden, La. He bought the site after a former Heinz pet food factory closed.
He wants to renovate the 185,000 square-foot building to hold a casino and convention center. Holden has built a marina at the site and plans to open a restaurant in September.
Biloxi Boardwalk would be the 10th casino in Biloxi and 13th on Mississippi's Coast.
The site is near the recently opened Margaritaville Casino & Restaurant. The commission approved that Jimmy Buffett-themed casino, but has twice rejected plans for Harbor Town casino in Gulfport.

The Triple Entente, later simply the Allies, was a military alliance operating before and during the Great War. The Entente was ultimately broken up by the expansionist stance taken by Great Russia. The remainder of the Entente later would form the European Community.
Member States
Pre-Great War
Members Joined After the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand
- Montenegro (Capitulation on January 1916)
Members Joined After the Miracle of the Marne
- Romania (Catipulation on December 1917, returned November 1918)
After the War
Though Great Russia was formally a part of both the Entente and the Alliance, the other powers in the alliance now had a new enemy, one in a prime position to exploit their loses during the Great War. Lavr Kornilov may have won the war for the allies, but now his expansionist, militarist stance was a threat to the rest of Europe.
The Alliance would eventually become the European Community, creating new economic and political ties between the surviving member states.
Great Russia was not the only member of the Alliance to fall out of favour. The Japanese Empire was also too expansionist for the Europeans. It was regarded as a minor threat, though, until it suddenly betrayed the alliance in the Great East Asian War. It's assault on formerly European colony holdings meant that the European Community would form a pseudo-alliance with the South Asian Union, the only asian competitor to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Theme park travellers head to where the fun is
From Disneyland and Dreamworld to Luna Park, Legoland and Dollywood, there's a theme park out there for just about every kind of fun-seeker — and the latest findings from Roy Morgan Research show that 740,000 Australian holiday-goers visited at least one on their last holiday.
While Australia is still the most common destination for holiday-makers who have visited a theme park on their last trip (55%), foreign destinations were also popular, with 45% of holiday-makers who visited a theme park on their last trip being overseas when they did so.
The USA was the most popular international destination by far among people who went to a theme park on their last overseas holiday, attracting 33% of them. Other popular destinations for overseas travellers who visited a theme park on their last overseas holiday were Japan (15%), Singapore (12%), the UK (9%) and Thailand (7%).
Top 10 destinations of overseas theme-park visitors
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), October 2014 – September 2015 (n=169).
Angela Smith, Group Account Director, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"Given the plethora of theme/entertainment parks around the world, it's no surprise that so many people who visited one on their last holiday did so overseas. Our data shows that folks who went to a theme park on their last trip are considerably more likely than the average overseas traveller to have gone to the US, Japan and Singapore – all of which are renowned for their world-class theme parks.
"Although families with children and people travelling with other family/family and friends account for more than half of holidaying theme-park visitors whose last trip was overseas, it seems that couples (25%), solo travellers (11%) and people travelling with friends (7%) can't resist theme-park fun either.
"Overseas theme park visitors tend to have a slightly higher household income than the average traveller who went overseas on their last holiday, and they do a greater number of activities while they're away -- being more likely to have also visited a zoo/animal sanctuary, gone shopping, had restaurant/international food and wine experiences, visited museums and art galleries. Overseas theme-park travellers appear to be a lucrative market, and offer a golden opportunity for savvy tourism operators and travel agencies to tailor their marketing communications so as to encourage this special breed of holiday-maker to really enjoy every aspect of their chosen destination."

How Expensive Are Full Auto Weapons?
I have no experience with full-auto weapons, but caught sight of an ad in a gun mag. The vendor seemed to sell only full-auto guns, but I couldn't believe the asking prices. Something like 16K for an mp5. All of the weapons were priced over their semi-auto counterparts by a factor of 10, it seemed. Does it really cost multiple thousands to get a fully automatic weapon?
About 10 times more expensive than they should be
You are looking at THOUSANDS of dollars at a minimum. Stupid Congress critters voted to allow no new full autos for civilians ( as usual, law enforcement can have whatever they want ).
So the market place did it's thing, and all full auto's are WAY too high.
In my estimation, every Congress critter should be fired immediately and NEVER allowed to hold public office again.
Then, every law since 1967 should be immediately repealed.
Since May 1986 all Machine guns manufactured are no longer available for civilian purchase. Military and law enforcement only!! A gun that costs $1000 the military or police will cost a civilian $16,000 today.
There are a limited number of full autos that civilians can buy and each time they sell and change hands... the price will go up.
Here is a link to show you the average prices over the year.
There are some sights on the internet where you can buy an full autos that are brand new. Some other sites you may not know what your going to get.
Go here to see the average prices.
You can only buy machine guns registered prior to May 1986 so there are not that many available. Every time they sell.. the price goes up!!
I only wish I could have purchased before or right after the May 1986 ban!!
Now, civilians have to sell to each other the weapons that were registered prior to the ban and the price goes up each time.
I was 18 at the time of the ban.... however... I was in the Army making $600 a month and would not have been able to afford any for a few years.
Then... I never knew that I could own them!! I did not learn I could till about 2003 and then I did not have the money to pay the high prices!
I had kicked the idea of purchasing one a couple of years back but just could not justify the high cost. Then I checked again this year and saw the price had gone up from $12,000 to $19,000!! Kicking myself in the behind now.
I read that the price goes up 10-15% every year and that shows true.
So if anyone is interested... Better knuckle down now and buy one ASAP.
If you are law enforcement, and purchase a full-auto weapon that way, is it you who does the purchase or your department? If you can do it yourself, through the department, do you keep it after you retire?
As I recall....
You cannot keep it if it was registered after 19 May 1986. Civilians can only own pre-ban full autos. The ATF would never allow the transfer from the department to you.
It is possible that the department could buy one with your funds for your use either on and/or off duty but only for the time your on the department. But once you leave... the department gets to keep it.

Location: Physiology and Pathology of Tree Fruits Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
The fundamental goal of this research program is the development of sustainable methods from the control of soilborne diseases of fruit trees. Thus, the objectives are to define the mechanism(s) of action for brassicaceae seed meals in the control of the pathogen/parasite complex which incites orchard replant disease, and develop and evaluate in the field novel formulations or integrated systems to attain the necessary spectrum of pathogen/parasite suppression for control of orchard replant disease to develop molecular markers for rootstock disease resistance to enhance biocontrol.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
This program will develop a systems approach to disease management which exploits the biological resources resident to orchard ecosystems and utilizes minimal inputs beyond that commonly employed during orchard renovation or management. This will be achieved through acquiring an understanding of the biological and chemical mechanisms involved in the brassicaceae seed meal induced suppression of the pathogen complex contributing to apple replant disease. New tools will be developed to efficiently monitor fungal community structure in these soils to garner a more complete understanding of the functional elements contributing to disease suppression and the temporal nature of the response. Enhanced efficacy of bio-active plant residues for the control of soilborne pathogens will be obtained by clarifying the role of soil microbial communities in eliciting the inhibitory activity of these plant tissues. Information from these studies will be utilized to develop and field validate biologically sustainable management strategies for control of replant diseases in conventional and organic production systems.
3. Progress Report:
Studies continued to monitor microbial community composition and tree performance of apple plantings established in spring 2010 on multiple replant sites in Washington State which seek to determine the efficacy of composite mustard seed meal amendments in concert with host tolerance for apple replant disease control. Two seed meal formulations were utilized in concert with the highly susceptible apple root stock M9 or Geneva 11 rootstock which is tolerant of the lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans. Both seed meal formulations provided disease control that was equivalent or superior to pre-plant soil fumigation based upon microbial analysis and tree growth increment attained over three years at all study sites. The Sunrise orchard autumn seed meal application proved superior to spring applications due to extensive tree mortality resulting from phytotoxicity of the amendment, but spring applications proved to be effective at other study sites. At Stormy Mountain Ranch, a single seed meal formulation applied during the spring was evaluated and was dramatically superior to pre-plant soil fumigation for control of replant disease. The superior tree growth in seed meal treated soils was correlated with superior and prolonged lesion nematode suppression over multiple growing seasons relative to that attained in response to pre-plant soil fumigation. The differential plant response to spring seed meal applications at the study sites were associated with differences in soil type and organic matter content. The Sunrise orchard possessed a sandy soil with very low organic matter (OM) content; which was approximately 30% of that at the Stormy Mountain Ranch test site. In addition, the low OM test site possessed soil microbial populations that were significantly lower. Based upon the level of tree mortality attained in the different seed meal formulation treatments it appears that a prolonged plant back period will be required in sandy soils to allow for degradation of seed meal derived herbicidal chemistries. An assay system was established for examination of gene expression profiles in root tissues in response to challenge by plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes. Apple seedling root tissues were collected and expression of candidate genes previously shown to function in plant defense responses was monitored under normal and biotic or abiotic stress conditions. DNA sequences of gene families within the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway (a pathway associated with plant defense/resistance mechanisms), was utilized to design gene-specific primers which provide the capacity to explicitly monitor expression of the target genes. Tissue-specific expression patterns were initially identified by regular polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and studies were initiated to examine changes in gene expression profiles in root tissues of young seedlings in response to cold treatment by use of quantitative real-time PCR.
4. Accomplishments
1. Induction of nematode suppressive soil system. Effective non-chemical strategies for long-term control of plant parasitic nematodes are desired within the tree fruit producer community due to an absence of nematicides available for post-plant application. Researchers at the Tree Fruit Research Laboratory in Wenatchee, Washington, examined pre-plant application of Brassicaceae seed meal formulations used in conjunction with a virtually impermeable film for control of apple replant disease and suppression of lesion nematode in two organic orchard systems. Seed meal formulations provided multi-year suppression of the lesion nematode densities in apple roots to levels significantly below the no treatment control. Although soil fumigation significantly suppressed densities of this nematode during the initial growing season, extensive re-infestation of fumigated soil by the nematode was observed during the two growing seasons to densities dramatically higher than the control or seed meal treated soils. Nematode suppression in the seed meal treated soil was associated with significant changes in soil biology including increased densities of nematode parasites and predators. This research indicates that a biologically viable alternative to chemical nematicides or soil fumigants can provide extended long-term suppression of plant parasitic nematodes in orchard production systems.

Monarch customers and staff have been brought to tears by a very touching video posted on the airline's official Facebook page.
Filmed by Monarch holidaymaker Claire Day, the video tells the story of how her partner Gary May gave his eight year-old son Ethan the surprise of his life at Gatwick Airport.
Gary, 41 is a public speaker and travels frequently around the world on business, so it can be difficult for the family to find time to go on holiday together. Gary and Claire didn't think that they would be able to go on a family trip this year, so when one of Gary's business trips to the Middle East was cancelled at short notice, they jumped at the chance to book last minute flights to Sharm el Sheikh.
With only 3 days to go before their flight, the couple decided to surprise Ethan with the holiday.
As Claire's short film shows, Gary hugs Ethan goodbye in the Gatwick Airport carpark.
Gary says to Ethan: "Why don't you come with?"
To which his son flicks a hand and replies that he doesn't have his passport or any clothes.
Gary opens the boot of their car and removes two suitcases, saying: "This is Claire's … and this is yours."
Ethan's reaction is absolutely priceless, as he tells Gary in tearful delight that this is the best surprise ever.
Gary told Monarch the holiday was a definite surprise to Ethan. "Ethan has a big personality, and he doesn't like his dad working away on business trips. It was our first holiday this year, and a definite surprise, as you can tell by the video."
At the time of writing, the 2:30 minute film had reached more than 60,000 people on Facebook, with more than 1,500 likes and 200 comments on the Monarch post. In addition, more than 800 people have shared Claire's video.
"It's brilliant to see that our video had such a positive reaction," Gary said.
Ethan said he had a great time on holiday in Sharm. He went snorkelling and saw lots of fish. "I was very surprised. And very happy!"
Dozens of viewers told Monarch on Facebook that Ethan's story had reduced them to tears, with some even sobbing at their desks in front of colleagues. The story has become such a hit that it has even appeared on the website for the Daily Mail.
We are thrilled to have been part of such as special family moment – Ethan is a lovely boy who charmed all the cabin crew on board with his excitement at his very unexpected holiday. We are so pleased that this last minute booking has brought so much joy and we're looking forward to welcoming Ethan and his family on board again soon.
Warning: This video could have you in floods – keep a tissue at the ready! Please feel free to watch the video and join the conversation on Facebook or add your comments below.

Why Seoul Can't Let Go of Its Banks
Four years ago, South Korea's banks were making even the banks in Japan look good. Bad loans, loose standards, and destructively cozy relations with the country's conglomerates, or chaebol, promised to keep the banks in the emergency room for years. But now, after a remarkably short convalescence, the industry is out of intensive care. After losing $3.2 billion in 2000, South Korea's 21 banks earned $4 billion last year. Perhaps most impressive is the turnaround at the four big banks taken over and recapitalized by the government since 1998. Long seen as irredeemable because they finance South Korea's debt-ridden chaebol, all turned a profit last year, and the two that list their stock saw share prices double.
Now, the time seems ripe for the government to off-load the four: 100% state-owned Hanvit Bank and Seoulbank, 80% state-owned Chohung Bank, and Korea Exchange Bank, in which the state is the largest stockholder, with 33% of the shares. But not so fast. The bank bailouts have always been a political hot potato, and elections are coming up: first local balloting in June, then a presidential plebiscite in December. Both parties favor selling the banks, but they're loath to do it before Seoul can recoup what it put into them--$20.5 billion, not counting the sale of some of their bad loans. Moreover, policymakers don't want to sour the recent buoyant mood on the Seoul bourse by flooding it with new shares. "To promote the banks' autonomy, we are committed to privatization, but it will have to be gradual to maximize the recovery of public funds and minimize the impact on the market," says Joo Hyung Hwan, a director at the Finance & Economy Ministry.
Unlike in Japan, where a banking crisis has dragged on for a decade because of recessions and government foot-dragging, Seoul acted swiftly after the 1997-98 Asian turmoil rocked its financial sector. It spent $118 billion to clean up the balance sheets of banks, investment trusts, insurance outfits, and savings companies. The banks took advantage of their fresh start by focusing on loans to consumers rather than the chaebol, thus tapping a source of new profits. And as South Korea flung open its financial system after the crisis, foreign investors took big stakes in some banks and started influencing boardroom decisions. "The most essential driver for restructuring was when foreign shareholders started monitoring Korean companies and putting pressure on the stock market," says Shin In Seok, an economist at Korea Development Institute.
Koreans, however, are still ambivalent about foreign investors, and that's yet another obstacle to privatizing the four banks in government hands. Politicos still remember the nationalist rain of criticism that fell on them when they sold a 51% stake in Korea First Bank in 1999 at a fire-sale price to U.S.-based Newbridge Capital Group. Yet the only other likely purchasers of the state-owned banks are the chaebol. Selling to the chaebol would violate Kim Dae Jung's key pledge to sever the often-corrupt ties between Big Business and the banks.
Another dilemma: If the banks' new owners were truly independent, their first move might well be to cut off the banks' remaining deadbeats, unless the government were to spend still more money to mop up bad loans--which isn't likely in an election year. The Korean central bank figures that some 30% of the country's manufacturers don't make enough money to service their debt, and pulling the plug on these companies would throw hundreds of thousands of workers into the streets. "The cleanup has not been complete, and that's hampering privatization," says Kwon Jae Jung, a research fellow at the bank-funded Korea Institute of Finance.
As long as it holds on to the banks, the Kim government, despite its reformist efforts, won't be able to stop itself from using their capital to shore up insolvent companies. In the worst recent case, Seoul forced Hanvit, Korea Exchange, and Chohung banks to pump billions into money-losing Hynix Semiconductor. Hanvit President Lee Duk Hoon complained that, despite the favor, the government intervened to stop a small salary increase for his staff designed to boost morale after a three-year wage freeze. "Unless banks are run independently, you can't have a market-led economy," says Park Won Am, a Hong Ik University economist. True enough. Trouble is, the final step toward independence for the banks may prove the most difficult of all.

Monte Carlo: Red Bull team chief Christian Horner has blamed the team's calamitous pit-stop for Daniel Ricciardo in Sunday's Monaco GP on the cramped conditions in the team's pits garage.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner
He said the bungled stop — that Ricciardo claimed cost him victory in the race — was caused by a delay to find the desired tyres trapped at the back of the garage. "Here in Monaco, the pit is upstairs and the garage is downstairs.
"The tyres are on heat both in the garage and behind the garage — and, unfortunately, the set of tyres that were called for were not available. They were at the back of
the garage.
"There was a scramble as originally had the soft tyres were ready — then, when a change to supersoft was requested, those tyres were right at the back of the garage.
"They couldn't be got to the car in time, which cost about 10 seconds. Despite that, they came out alongside each other. That showed how quick Daniel's was and how slow Lewis' had been. It was gutting for the whole team."

George Foreman Five Sons All Named George
January 26, 2012 by staff
George Foreman Five Sons All Named George, George Foreman to discuss the success he's enjoyed as an athlete, a father and an entrepreneur.
Inside Foreman's horse stable, Dow met a namesake of the former boxer.
Dow: What's this horse's name?
Foreman: This is Champ.
Dow: Champ, O.K.
Foreman: This is the champ.
No doubt named after the man of the house, George Edward Foreman. Two-time heavyweight boxing champion. World class salesman and father of 10.
Dow: Now, what's your son's name, George?
Foreman: This is George right here. His name is George.
And yes, he did name all five of his sons George.
Foreman: George Edward Foreman. Five sons all named George. You got Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Kenny Norton, Ron Lyle … you let those people hit you on the head and see how many names you gonna remember. It would be confusing.
Dow: So you kept it simple?
Foreman: I kept it simple. I never forget a name.
And he's just co-written a book about his sons, a children's story called "Let George Do It." The parent company of the publisher also owns CBS.
Foreman: You learn George, that word. Then you learn it again. Next thing you know, you're going to have a whole book because 60 percent of the words in that book are George. That's the part I wrote.
Foreman lives on 40 acres outside of Houston with his fifth wife and many of his children.
He says, "The grill helps feed them."
The grill. A kitchen appliance that few were buying until George Foreman agreed to market it in exchange for a piece of the company. In the 10 years since, Foreman says they've sold nearly 70 million of the various George Foreman grilling machines.
Foreman: When you go through the airport sometimes and people stop and say 'George, we love the grill', that's greater than them telling me, 'George, you did a good job becoming heavyweight champ of the world.'
Add his other endorsements, and it's been estimated that this uncommon man with the common touch has made nearly a quarter-billion dollars as a product pitchman — three times his earnings in the ring.
Foreman's road to success started in an unlikely place — Houston's tough fifth ward neighborhood, where poor and hungry led to mean and dangerous. He learned to box at 16, won Olympic gold at 19 and at 24 defeated Joe Frazier to become world champion. The next year, he defended his title in Zaire in one of the most famous fights in history. The "Rumble in the Jungle," against Muhammad Ali.
Foreman: I beat him up for the first three rounds, four rounds. I think I even beat him up in the sixth round, too. Then all of a sudden, I hit him in the seventh round and he whispered in my ear, 'that all you got George?' And that was all I had. You heard of the rope-a-dope?
Dow: Heard of the rope-a-dope.
Foreman: Well, here's the dope.
At the time, Foreman was devastated.
Foreman: I was young, only 25 years old. I didn't know what to do. I thought my life was over because when you lose the championship, it's not like you lost a title, you lose yourself because it's like you're, you're not a man anymore.
Three years later, after another loss, Foreman had a religious experience that changed his life.
Foreman: In a split second I was dead, over my head, under my feet. All around me was nothing, nothing but loneliness and emptiness and nothingness. And I just said, I don't care if this is death. I still believe there's a God. When I said that I was rescued out of nothing, alive in that dressing room again, with blood flowing through my veins, screaming Jesus Christ is coming alive in me.
There was little left of that mean kid from the fifth ward. Foreman became an evangelist, preaching first on street corners, then in his own church.
Dow: And you took 10 years away.
Foreman: 10 years.
Dow: Away from boxing?
Foreman: 10 years. I didn't even make a fist. I didn't box. I didn't try to box. I was done with it. I was a preacher. A happy, fat preacher.
He opened the George Foreman Youth and Community Center, a safe place for kids to hang out.
Foreman: I just wanted to keep them around and keep them out of trouble. Show them how to box. This is what I knew how to do. And yet, get the anger out of them.
Dow: Why did you go back into the ring again, George?
Foreman: I went back into boxing, really, profound – money.
Dow: You needed the cash?
Foreman: I had to get back into boxing because I was literally out of money.
So at 37, George Foreman began his comeback. Ridiculed at first. Too old, they said. Too fat. Too slow. But, he was also too strong, and in 1994, more than 20 years after he beat Joe Frazier for the title, George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer and was world champion again. No 45-year-old man had ever won the title.
Dow: Did you get more enjoyment out of boxing the second time around?
Foreman: Second time around, I was so happy about so many things, it made for a better athlete.
Dow: Some people have said they heard you say you might want to do it again George.
Foreman: You know.
Dow: Tell us that's not true.
Foreman: I wanna box again. I'm not gonna lie. I even got, went back into training for a small period of time. Getting in shape, ready to go. My wife told me, 'no, you can't do it.'
Dow: O.K., so who's the boss?
Foreman: I haven't gone back.
These days, at 56, there's no time for boxing. Among his projects, he's marketing a line of big and tall clothing for the casual male.
Dow: What makes the George Foreman line of clothes so special?
Foreman: Well, most importantly, on all the tags, it's got George Foreman.
Dow: It's got George Foreman.
He's still pitching and he's still preaching.
Foreman: That's my calling. To be a preacher is really my calling; it's my job. I only moonlight as a boxer and a salesperson.
Dow: Are you content with your life? Or are you still driven?
Foreman: I'm driven. I like the life I'm living, but I'm driven because there's so much more to obtain. I'm one of those guys who gonna have to fall out of the saddle. There's always one more star to reach for, and I'm trying to.
