" Accommodation and lodgings available in Kruger National Park in South Africa / Tel: (+27) 21 422 3111 "
SKUKUZA CAMP - Elsie Clarke Cottage
We booked our accommodation in Kruger National park thought SAN parks on the internet. As you book your accommodation you also sort out your National Park entrance fee too. We had three nights in the park, two in the safari tents at Lower Sabie and one in a two bed roomed cottage in Skukuza Camp. When we arrived at our cottage having checked in at Reception we were greeted by a welcome party of Vervet monkeys. They were very interested as we unpacked our car so we had to make sure we shut the car and boot each load as well as shutting the door to the cottage just in case we ended up with extra guests in the form of monkeys. One of the larger monkeys sat on the outside window sill of the bedroom and I was able to put my hand on his hand from inside the window. Once we had finished unpacking they lost interest and went to see what was on offer up at the restaurant and bar area.
We had a two bed roomed cottage which was called Elsie Clarke's cottage which was presumably done in memory of this lady but I'm not sure who she was and it didn't say anywhere in the cottage. The cottage was really a bungalow with a long open are with a full kitchen with cooker and large fridge freezer at one end leading to a dining are then a sitting area and all this was in front of the two bedrooms.
Both bedrooms had two single beds in them, a wardrobe and not a lot else. They also both had large ensuite bathrooms with shower, basin and toilet in them. Both rooms had both air conditioning and a fan but this time the one in the boys' room worked really well whereas ours was a little less cool but once night fell it was fine. All the windows and doors had insect screens so we were not bothered at all by mosquitoes. We did put on insect repellent while we were outside eating but there did not seem to be too many about at all and it was for our stay in Kruger that we had to get the incredibly expensive Malaria pills at £5 a pill - we paid a total of £245 just for the Malaria pills for the boys 3 day visit to Kruger national Park and our 3 days in Kruger plus 3 days in Etosha National Park in Namibia, not of the other areas were Malarial areas!
They provided you with towels and soap but no shampoo was provided but as I had my own various small bottles collected from hotels in other places which I always carry for emergency supplies plus my Lush solid shampoo and conditioner which I also always have with me this did not really matter to us.
On the large concrete floored veranda there was a table and four chairs. In the garden beyond was the braai or BBQ which we once again made good use of as the boys cooked the braai but this time I cooked the veggies inside on the cooker.
The entire camp is fenced so that animals apart from baboons and monkeys are largely kept out so you are never in any danger in the camp area. There were rondavels and tents available here too as well as places where you could pitch your own tent but that must be pretty hot in the summer .You are advised to always use a torch when walking around at night as snakes and other animals might be lurking unseen.
The camp has a large restaurant and bar area which served food all day. The restaurant only operated at night and I'm not sure what they had on the menu as we didn't eat there at all. The bar area overlooked a river and had huge trees all around the large thatched covered area. When we had our lunch there we were amazed to see a huge number of small bats hanging from the middle of the inside thatched roof area looking down at the diners. We were also entertained by groups of monkeys trying to get left overs from tables as they were vacated and also emptying the bins in order to find some tasty treasure but meanwhile throwing all the useless and inedible packaging all around. One cheeky monkey sat at an empty table and got out a sauce bottle, managed to pen the lid and was tipping it into his mouth before one of the waiters came and removed it. We did tell him that the monkey had been licking it but I'm not sure what was done. We all decided not to have any sauce with our meal at this time. My sons ordered the same meal as one of them had tried in Sabie but when it came it was not nearly as nice as the Sabie one. I asked for a salad but there was no salad and I had enjoyed a nice salad in Sabie so we were a bit unimpressed with Skukuza snack bar compared to the one in Sabie although the prices were pretty much the same.
Near the snack bar area they had an internet area where you paid 1 ZAR per minute (11 to the £1 when we were there) but the minimum was 30 minutes. Just nearby there were some toilet blocks and the shop was also near this area. The reception area was a long walk back to the gate of the Camp area but there was not much else there that was of interest to us. There were no animal spotting boards that we could see which we had made good use of when we were at the Lower Sabie Rest Camp.
This shop sold pretty similar things to the one in Sabie; you could buy basic vegetables in small quantities as well as meat for braai cooking. We bought more boerewors which is a very tasty South African sausage and kudu steaks for our braai this time. We still had a few vegetables and enough charcoal left from Sabie and this was our last self- catering night so we had to use everything up or end up throwing stuff away which I hate doing.
We found everything we needed was there and that the accommodation and the other facilities were both comfortable and pleasant to sit in and enjoy the scenery and animals that came by.
This was a much larger site than Sabie and there was a nice pool which was nice to relax and cool off in but this swim cost one son his new swimming shorts as he left them in the shower cubicle when we left as he had hung them there to dry but he forgot.
We were only at this camp for one night but I think we all preferred Sabie despite the fact this site had the pool. The atmosphere was friendlier, we saw more animals on our game drives and the food at the snack bar was nicer. We also preferred the safari tents to the cottage as they felt more like being on safari and were very comfortable, Our cottage was lovely but it just lacked the African safari charm of the tent accommodation we had had in Sabie and if you had to choose to visit one campsite then Sabie was much more interesting for seeing animals on the game drives.
The animals we saw in Skukuza were elephants, giraffes, Vervet monkeys, buffalo, duiker (very small antelope, Bush buck, impala, kudu (larger antelope) warthogs and rhinoceros.
I would thoroughly recommend staying in the safari tents in Sabie rather than a cottage in Skukuza as we found we saw many more animals from our game drives in Sabie Both camps were very comfortable, clean and well set out for privacy and convenience and in both camps we had everything you could wish but Sabie did give you more of the feeling of being on safari and soaking up the atmosphere on the area.

Game One Hundred Twenty-Five: Cubs (53-71) vs. Phillies (62-62)
Game Time – 7:05pm C.T. Comcast Sports Net, WGN Radio, XM Radio Channel 187
Location – Wrigley Field, Chicago
Ryan O'Malley (1-0, 0.00) vs. Jamie Moyer (6-12, 4.39)
With Roster Moves – Izturis Placed on 15-Day DL – Buck Coats Selected from Iowa
The 43-year old against the 26-year old, the Battle of the Lefties and the Cubs' past against their future….which headline is most fitting? Jaime Moyer will make his first start at Wrigley Field since October 2, 1988….18 long years. Moyer made his Major League debut with the Cubs in 1986 and beat the Phillies' Steve Carlton, his childhood idol. Now it is time for Ryan O'Malley to face a former member of his favorite team….turnabout would be fair game, right?
Jaime Moyer (1986-1988) will make his first start for the Phillies after being acquired in a trade on Saturday night from the Seattle Mariners for Minor League pitchers Andrew Baldwin and Andrew Barb. Moyer was 4-5 with a 3.80 ERA at Safeco Field but was 2-7 with a 5.29 ERA on the road and is just 1-4 with a 7.15 ERA since the All-Star break. The Cubs will have plenty of chances against Moyer, but he is left-handed, so this could be a closer game than it should be.
Turn off your radar guns, there is no point….tonight is all about location, location, location.
Let's Talk Cubbies Baseball….
Roster Moves – For the second consecutive day the Cubs placed a starter on the DL. The Cubs place Cesar Izturis on the 15-Day DL with a strained right hamstring and selected Buck Coats from Triple-A Iowa to take his place on the roster. Coats has played all 3 outfield positions as well as shortstop, 2nd base and 3rd base this season for the I-Cubs.

In this dramatic exposé of U.S. penitentiaries and the communities around them, Sasha Abramsky finds that prisons have dumped their age-old goal of rehabilitation, often for political reasons. The new "ideal," unknown to most Americans, is a punitive mandate marked by a drive toward vengeance.

The Broken Hourglass - Levels Explained @ Official Site
by Dhruin, 2007-04-16 15:31:09
The Broken Hourglass site has an explanation of the leveling system. Here's the intro they sent over:
In this week's Broken Hourglass game update, we explore the concept of level paths. Because point-buy systems can be intimidating, we provide a hybrid point-buy and class template system, which allows players to have the bulk of their experience points automatically spent along sensible class or occupationally-focused lines, while still leaving a reserve pool to preserve the flexibility of a point-buy system.

BENGHAZI, Libya - Protesters demanding Moammar Gadhafi's ouster came under a hail of bullets Friday when pro-regime militiamen opened fire to stop the first significant anti-government marches in days in the Libyan capital. The Libyan leader, speaking from the ramparts of a historic Tripoli fort, told supporters to prepare to defend the nation.
Witnesses reported multiple deaths from gunmen on rooftops and in the streets shooting automatic weapons and even an anti-aircraft gun at crowds.
"In the first wave of fire, seven people within 10 meters of me were killed. Many people were shot in the head," one man who marching from Tripoli's eastern Tajoura district, told The Associated Press. "It was really like we are dogs."
Also Friday evening, troops loyal to Gadhafi attacked a major air base east of Tripoli that had fallen into the rebellion's hands.
A force of tanks attacked the Misrata Air Base, succeeding in retaking part of it in battles with local residents and army units who had joined the anti-Gadhafi uprising, said a doctor and one resident wounded in the battle on the edge of opposition-held Misrata, Libya's third largest city, about 120 miles from the capital.
During the fighting, the opposition captured two, including a senior officer and still held part of the large base, they said. Shooting could still be heard from the area after midnight. The doctor said 22 people were killed in two days of fighting at the air base and an adjacent civilian airport.
In Washington, the White House announced it was moving forward with plans to impose unilateral sanctions on Libya in response to the regime's bloody crackdown on the 11-day-old uprising across the country. Hundreds have been killed, but rebels have taken control of nearly the entire eastern half of the country, as well as cities close to Gadhafi's stronghold in the capital.
White House spokesman said it is clear that Gadhafi's legitimacy has been "reduced to zero," the Obama administration's sharpest words yet.
The U.N. Security Council met to consider possible sanctions against Gadhafi's regime, including trade sanctions and an arms embargo. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged it take "concrete action" to protect civilians in Libya, saying "the violence must stop" and those responsible for "so brutally shedding blood" must be punished.
But Gadhafi vowed to fight on. In the evening, he appeared before a crowd over more than 1,000 supporters massed in Green Square and called on them to fight back against protesters and "defend the nation."
"Retaliate against them, retaliate against them," Gadhafi said, speaking by microphone from the ramparts of the Red Castle, a Crusader fort overlooking the square. Wearing a fur cap, he shook his fist in the air, telling the crowd, "Dance, sing and prepare. Prepare to defend Libya, to defend the oil, dignity and independence."
He warned, "At the suitable time we will open the arms depot so all Libyans and tribes become armed, so that Libya becomes red with fire." The crowd waved pictures of the leader and green flags as he said, "I am in the middle of the people in the Green Square. ... This is the people that loves Moammar Gadhafi. If the people of Libya and the Arabs and Africans don't love Moammar Gadhafi then Moammar Gadhafi does not deserve to live."
Earlier his son, Seif al-Islam, was asked in an interview with CNNTurk about the options in the face of the unrest. "Plan A is to live and die in Libya, Plan B is to live and die in Libya, Plan C is to live and die in Libya," he replied.
The marches in the capital were the first major attempt by protesters to break a clampdown that pro-Gadhafi militiamen have imposed on Tripoli since the beginning of the week, when dozens were killed by gunmen roaming the street, shooting people on sight.
In the morning and night before, SMS messages were sent around urging protesters to stream out of mosques after noon prayers, saying, "Let us make this Friday the Friday of liberation," residents said.
In response, militiamen set up heavy security around many mosques in the city, trying to prevent any opposition gatherings. Armed young men with green armbands to show their support of Gadhafi set up checkpoints on many streets, stopping cars and searching them. Tanks and checkpoints lined the road to Tripoli's airport, witnesses said.
But support for Gadhafi continued to fray within a regime where he long commanded unquestioned loyalty.
Libya's delegation to the United Nations in Geneva announced Friday it was defecting to the opposition - and it was given a standing ovation at a gathering of the U.N. Human Rights Council. They join a string of Libyan ambassadors and diplomats around the world who abandoned the regime, as have the justice and interior ministers at home, and one of Gadhafi's cousins and closest aides, Aimed Gadhaf al-Dam, who sought refuge in Egypt.
Libya's 11-member Arab League mission also announced its resignation in protest at the crackdown
The upheaval in the OPEC nation has taken most of Libya's oil production of 1.6 million barrels a day off the market. Oil prices hovered above $98 a barrel Friday in Asia, backing away from a spike to $103 the day before amid signs the crisis in Libya may have cut crude supplies less than previously estimated.

Excellent quality hoodie
I got this for a Valentines Day present for my hubby (A huge Rays fan). I was a little late ordering, and it still got here right on time. Needless to say he was pleased and he hasn't taken it off. I would recommend for every Ray's fan. It seems like it will hold up pretty well, and the lettering is a very pleasing color.
- How accurate was the sizing? Good

Booker cashes in on booming middle class
Britain's biggest cash-and-carry chain is planning to open up to 20 new stores in India, as part of a drive to tap into booming demand for consumer goods.
Booker opened its first Indian store in Mumbai in 2009. Last autumn it opened a second outlet in Pune, a city 170 kilometres away, and in February a third store in Thane, a Mumbai suburb.
"Our model is working well in the Indian market so the next stage is to look at other sites," said Zunaid Bangee, managing director of Booker Group's India operation.
He said that the company was benefiting from strong demand for fast-moving consumer goods such as Pringles crisps and branded shampoos and toothpastes. The Indian economy is growing at 6-7 per cent per…

You are Bidding on a rare Jewett and Goodman Reed melodian/pump organI have collected reed organs and melodians for many years. I bought this one about 7 years ago from an antiques dealer. First of all I should tell you a little bit about this piece. Jewett and Goodman was based in CLEVELAND OHIO. They were well known and respected for manufacture of a fine line of melodians and reed organ. This particular model, Serial No 4 016 is what is known as a "walkaround" model. The rear part of the case is finished and designed to be seen unlike most pump organs that have a lesser grade wood on the back and were meant to be pushed up against a wall. This paricular instrument was designed to be "center stage" so to speak in one formal music parlor. This was in its day a higher dollar instument as opposed to the more common Estey or Sears organs. It was the unsusual case design, made of rosewood that I was drawn to. My plans were to conduct a full restoration on this one but I have too many and not enough time, so I am reluctantly offering this for sale. Condition: The case is rosewood and would benefit from a good cleaning and a "french polish" t are some nicks and t as would be expected of a piece built in the 1860's. The pumps work but t is air seepage and the Bellows will need to be redone, It plays ... read more

DeJesus, Betancourt sit out finale
DeJesus, Betancourt sit out finale
DeJesus returned from a week-long bout with a virus on Friday and has not played. Betancourt fouled a ball off his left foot in Friday's 10-7 loss to Minnesota.
"I was hopeful that David would be able to play in one of these games, but his body is just too weak from being sick," manager Trey Hillman said. "So we're better off not forcing anything with him and running into an injury.
"Yuni's foot is pretty sore. We can use him in an emergency situation, and I guess we can use David in an emergency situation, too."
Luis Hernandez took Betancourt's place despite a deep contusion on his right quad. That came in the eighth inning Friday night when, after replacing the injured Betancourt, he was drilled by a pitch thrown by Twins reliever Jose Mijares.
Hillman thought Hernandez moved well enough in Saturday's game to warrant keeping him in the lineup. Willie Bloomquist again took DeJesus' spot in left field and as the leadoff hitter.

Deep in the dimly lit rooms stuck behind the glitzy Sony and Nintendo displays, I met with Sonic creator Yuji Naka at the XSEED booth to demo his latest game, Ivy the Kiwi.
Ivy hatches deep in the forest and instantly cries out for her mother. But her mother is nowhere to be found, so she starts off on a harrowing adventure to find her. Your job is to guide Ivy over obstacles and into otherwise inaccessible areas through the use of vines.
Naka's inspiration comes from focusing on one control element and designing a game around it. Here he wanted to step away from direct character manipulation and challenge the player to push the limits on this seemingly limited control scheme.
My hands-on time revealed that Ivy the Kiwi is anything but easy. The cute storybook art style is enchanting, but do not let it convince you that mastering the 100 levels is a simple affair. I barely made it through the first level after an intensive introduction to the controls.
Ivy the Kiwi is due out this summer on the Wii and DS. Each version offers a variety of multiplayer options, though the Wii version clearly steals the show with detail and functionality.

Power Point is often debased in the hard core technology circles as the platform for fluffy, exaggarated, insubstantial "pitches".
I beg to differ.
I have personally embraced Power Point as highly useful form of communication a decade ago after seing one of the most technically astute and eloquent software architects I ever worked with clearly and precisely describe the complex process, software architecture and the technology behind it using Power Point only. These were the days when I believed that UML and Rational Rose were the only tools worth of architect's use.
Interestingly, I have recently discovered a great book A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, for which she received the Pulitzer Prize in 2011. The most interesting and touching sub-story of this book is written in a form of a power point narrated by a twelve year old girl.
There are numerous books written on the art of Power Point presentations, but this one is exception that it does not promote its use, but puts it in the context of the touching human story.
A good break from a dry setting of corporate or geek culture.
Read Egan's book if you get chance. Even if you disagree with me about the Power Point, you will likely enjoy the read.

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.
This is alright. Not the best Uji Genmaicha that I've tried, but, it's not bad either. Unlike other Uji Genmaicha, I can hardly taste the Matcha in this. It is very toasty and delicious, but considerably lighter in composition than what I expected. Good, but not great.

I received a Wantable box in exchange for my honest opinion.
But I've received one before (last year, you can see that post here), and I fell in love. Unlike Birchbox and some other boxes, this one doesn't give samples. This subscription box gives out full sized products. Not itty bitty one time use samples.
I love getting makeup in the mail - even though I'm in Arizona. If I let it sit in the mailbox too long it starts to melt. So I stalk my mailman. And I made sure to get it at the usual time that she comes. Thankfully, nothing was melted (I wish the mailboxes were inside a building with AC or something LOL).
Here is what I got in my June box.

If the parties were to settle after a decision is rendered, would the California Supreme Court vacate its decision and dismiss review?
A recent article by Sheri Qualters in The Recorder discusses Tivo Inc. v. EchoStar Corp., Slip Op., 2011 WL 1767314 (C.A.Fed. (Tex.)) in which the Federal Circuit issued an en banc order denying the parties' joint motion to dismiss the appeal after the parties reached a settlement. The Federal Circuit noted that the parties made their joint motion and informed the court of their settlement after it had rendered its decision. The court explained that if it were to grant the parties' motion at this late stage, the result would be modification or vacatur of its judgment, "'which is neither required nor a proper use of the judicial system.'"
This got us thinking about how the California Supreme Court would handle the same situation. We found no cases in which the parties informed the Court of their settlement after the Court had rendered its decision. However, on several occasions the Court has gone on to reach a decision after the parties informed it of their settlement before oral argument. In such situations, it typically invokes the rule that it retains jurisdiction to adjudicate a moot controversy where it raises issues of continuing public importance. (Brown, Winfield & Canzoneri, Inc. v. Superior Court (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1233, 1240, fn. 1; Maynard v. Brandon (2005) 36 Cal.4th 364, 383; Torres v. Parkhouse Tire Service, Inc. (2001) 26 Cal.4th 995, 1001; People ex rel. Lungren v. Superior Court (1996) 14 Cal.4th 294, 300; Burch v. George (1994) 7 Cal.4th 246, 294 ["We have inherent power to retain a matter, even though it has been settled and is technically moot, where the issues are important and of continuing interest"].) Therefore, we think the Court likely would reach the same result as the Federal Circuit in Tivo if parties were to attempt to render a decision moot by settlement.

My First Best Picturewritten by jennson on 2011-04-02
My interest for Lomography started about 4 month ago ..it began with the Diana F+ what didn´t satisfy me at the beginning. Saw that camera in a shop and the amazing shots you can get with this lomo stuff. My girlfriend also liked that, so i got the hole diana f+ kit for birthday ..and thought it would be that easy, but it wasn´t. My first shots were real crap, and I was really disappointed. So I tried to get as much information as possible out of the net. I realised, that it would be much easier to start with an LC-A and that there is a possibility of cross-processing to get those colors and contrast that faszinated me. I ordered at Lomography.com! First crossed roll with my LC-A was very funny and addicted me. The shots were not very good, but I noticed that there is a potencial for great photos..5

So once the dust settles from this whole free-trade fiasco, we should see a fresh, energized new Raps squad on the floor for 2010-2011.
That being said, for better or worse, we may have created a new T Dot nemesis in CB4 (many will argue if this is legit).
So, what are the odds of a Ru Paul chant emanating from the hallowed peaks of the ACC when CB 4 first hits the foul line wearing his new jersey?
Would you join in the chant? Or should the 'world famous' 4 Korners just blast "work, covergirl, work it girl, give a twirl" from the speakers everytime CB gets a touch?

The measured value of acid-titratable basicity (ATB) or "alkaline earth carbonate from acid neutralization" decreases with increasing soil/solution ratio or the increasing concentration, C, of excess acid. The ATB is almost independent of C, however, in the range of 0.1 to 0.3N acid remaining after neutralization with 0.5N HCl. In coarse-textured soils, the ATB extrapolated to C = 0 is reasonably close to the soil's carbonate content.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Mary Dixon did a news story about our heads and how they have gotten bigger over the past 7 generations. It's not just Barry Bonds. It turns out that our heads are getting taller but thinner except for the occasional fathead. Why are our heads getting bigger? Better nutrition and and less physical work are possible but not definite reasons.
It just reminded me of science fiction depictions of advanced civilizations where aliens have cartoon-like cranial capacity. As you can see from the picture above, I am afflicted with the big head syndrome and can only wonder what songs would fit the giant noggin' genre. Well, of course, I'd pick…
Listen To Lin & Mary On The XRT Morning Show
Big Head Todd and the Monsters-Sexy And I Know It. When it came to skull size Todd Park Mohr has always been aHEAD of the curve.
Prince-Head. I'm not sure this song is lyrically pertinent, but it's very scientific.
XTC-The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead. This was my 'go-to' track after the news story. When in doubt make it XTC.
Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians-The Man With The Lightbulb Head. It takes an odd man to write a song about a man with a lightbulb head. It takes Robyn Hitchcock.
Crazyhead-Time Has Taken Its Toll On Me. A song by a band whose very name invokes a strange head and features lyrics about the ravages of time. In my world, this song should have been a smash. No one visits my world. It's very lonely here.
The Avett Brothers-Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise. Just because our craniums are expanding it doesn't mean that we are any more sure of ourselves.
The Cars-Got A Lot On My Head.
Wailing Soul-Picky Picky Head. This is just a great song and sometimes that's good enough for me.
The Ditty Bops-Your Head's Too Big. My problem, exactly.
The Fratellis-Flathead. If evolutionary trends continue, we'll be walking around with giant waffle irons for heads which would actually be pretty awesome.

The Fate City Council is expected to decide Thursday on a replacement for former Fate council member John Stacy, who resigned Monday to run for Congress.
City code requires Stacy to step down as he runs for the House District 4 seat long held by U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Rockwall.
Those interested in the at-large seat can turn in a form found at cityoffate.com to City Secretary Jean Dwinnell by the council's 6 p.m. Thursday meeting.
Two people, Jim Thornhill and Steven Herrmann, had applied as of Wednesday morning, according to Dwinnell. Thornhill serves as chairman of the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment, vice president of the Fate Development Corporation and president of the Fate Historical Society. Herrmann is a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The council appointment would last through May.

Earl Rcadiiig
Comes to U. S.
For Farewell
British "^Ambassador Says
WiLsou Has Made Peace
Conforenop Memorable
Lord ("nicf Justice Earl Reading,
British Ambassador to the United
States, who arrived on the transport
Aquitania yesterday and went lo Wash
ington last night, said, while 'in Ncw
York, that his visit to the United
States is in the nature of an affce
tionate farowel? before rusuming the
) dutres of the Chief Justi?eship.
Earl Reading expressed confidenc?
| that, "whatever may happen, the Paris
peace conference will ovcr bc memo
'?? rab!e for the part taken by your Frc -;
' ident and for the covenant o? tbo
j league of nations as drafted by tho
, representatives of the nations afssem
bled there."
The British Ambassador was .not in
; the best of health, keeping to his room
until just before the boat docked and
| using a cane.
Be&ides Lady Reading, he was ac
companied by Sir Grimwood Mears,
whose evidences of German atrocities
in Belgium formed part of the foim
dation of the Bryce report; Brigadier
General Charlton, (.'. B., C. M. G., D,
S. 0., and Captain Guy Portman.
Brigadier General Charlton goes to
Washington as an air attachd of the
British Embassy. He was for a time
Director of Air Organization for Eng
land. and has just complcted fifteen
months as commandcr of the Air Force
Brigade in France.
The Ambassador's Statement
Baron Reading's statement follows:
"It is with great pleasure that I
find myself for the fourtb. time since
the war in the United States and
about to resume my duties in Wash?
ington as British Ambassador. When
I left for England in August of last
year my intention was to stay there
only a few weeks. At that time the
Kreat counter offo.nsive of Marshal
Foch had becn successfully begun, but
it had not yet suf'icicntly developed
for us to apprcciate the. full effects
of the plan of eonlinuous hammcr
strokes which eventually smashed Ger?
man militarism and gave complete vic
touy to the associated powers.
'The rapidly changinjr situation in
Europe led to repeated postponcments
of my intendod return to Washing?

sueceeded cach other so quickly that
to soine degree the pivot of Anjrlo

BERLIN, Feb. 27. Thc gravity of
the intcrnal German situation has been
visibly accentuated within the last
twenty-four hours. Weimar, scat of
the National Assembly, is now com
plctely iaolated exeept to .thc south.
The general strike has spread to Leip
zig and the neighboring towna, and
railway cbnnections botween Berlin
and Weimar are broken. The strikes at.
Erfurt and Gotha have cut communica
tions westward,
The politieal character of thc move
ment is furthcr emphasized by thc Sol
' diers' and Workmen's Council at Lc;p
zig, which declared that in proclainiing
! the general strike it aimed to strike
a blow against the govcrnment and for
immediate socialization of industry.
The Erfurt strikers issued a similar
? pronounccment and also demanded full
| recognition of thc Soldiers' and Work?
men's Councila and abrogation of the
government's action locking toward res
toration of military authority.
I'nrest in Army Menacing
It is growing daily more evident,
however, that the spirit of insubor
dination in the remnants of the old
army is assuming dangerous propor
tions. Thus, at Chemnitz yesterday
the Soldiers' Council called a general
meeting and voted to dismiss all of
: ticers of the Chemnitz garriaon because
Kurt Eisner's murderer waa an officer.
A dangerous movement is also re
: ported in thc ranks of the so-called
; republican guard in Berlin, which was
, organized to defend the govcrnment
from Spartacide attacks. It is as
1 serted the guarda are becoming im
; preg.nated with the Spartacide spirit
and it is feared they will converl
| themaelves into a "Red Guard."
The Spartacus movement has also
been revived at Hamburg, where a
great maas meeting was held yester?
day to promote agitation against the
govcrnment. Thc Spartacides are
i growing more active at Berlin, scat
tering leaflets and dc?ai.ding a gen
i eral politieal strike with the slogan
' "Dbwn with the Constituent Assem
'? bly, down with Ebert, Scheidemann and
Socialist Organ Aggressive
The Independent Socialist organ.
"Die Freiheit," adopts an exceedingly
aggressive and provocative tone in an
attempt to add i'uel to the flames of
; discontent. It begins to-day's leader
; thus:
"In all scctions of Germany's great
economic structures flames are leaping.
; The old rotten building is cracking in
i all its joints and it is perhaps only a
I queation o? days when it will fall in
: a crash."
The cditor continues 10 say it. is the
j decp-seatcd social conflict that presses
j the weapon of the strike into the hands
I of the proletariat and heaps ridicule
' upon the Constituent Assembly for its
efforta to adopt a constitution. The
paper says all strikers of other centres
are now appcaling to thc Berlin work
j men with burning impatience and are
j expecting cooperation and support.
Meanwhile, the economic situation in
Berlin is growing more precarious
daily. At a meeting of thc Rerlin
Workmen's and Soldiers' Council yes?

Socialist, said danger exists that Ber?

UUSSELDOR-P, Feb. S-l. The drafi
of the league of nation3 had a had re
ception in Germany, which now re
garda herself as a kind of skeleton at
a feast. The press of all parties con
tcnds the league of natlons is a piece
of treachery that lcaves out In the
cold or relcgates to the position of
Cindc!.-b)ln a nation of as great im
portance as Germany. The press main
tains that the league car.not possibly
guarantee permanent peace to the
tvorld and nocessarily carries in it tho
seeds of its own destruction.
Germany, the papera contcnd. cannol
easily resign herself to being withheld
from a share in drafting the scheme
and having at best only the opportu
nity to take or leave it as it may be
presented to the Germanp eople.
Regarding the draft itself, section 7.
in particular, is an eyesore to the Ger
man3. They contend that it violates
the prineiple of the equality ofnations.
Sees Germany Isolated
These conditions, in conjunction with
section 3,.providing for the constitu
tion of an executive council, are in
tcrpreted By the Germans as amount
ing to the absolute hegemony of Ger
many's present enemies and as being
in fact not a league of nations at all.
but a continuation ofijthe anti-German
pclicy of encirclement and isolation ef
Professor Schuccking. vice-president
of the German League of Nations So
ciety, suggests joint action by Ger?
mans and neutrals in a demand to be
consulted in the drafting of the
Exception also is taken to scctions
lG?and 17, which provide for penalties,
especially economic boycott, in the case
of a nation that may not eVen belong
to the league.
Regarding limitation of armaments,
the reference to the undesirability of
the private production of munitions
and war material has provoked many
sneers at the supplies privately manu
factured in America for the Entente
i during the period of American neutral
ity. The reference to international so
? cial and labor legislation is regarded
as altogether inadequate and i'utile.
The more aggressh e organs of Ger?
man opinion declare that a league is
i simply a scheme devised to stabilize
[ and perpetuate Anglo-Saxon dominion
| of the world. while France, Italy and
Japan are allowed to assist, with the
r.eutrals and liberated nations admitted
as customers.
Terms Taine Pan-Germans
The revised armistice terms have
! somewhat tamed tho spirit of the pan
j Germans out for international mis
! chief making. Still there is 110 lack
i of covert attempts to set the entente
1 nations against each other apropos
of the league draft. France, the Ger?
mans say, is called unon to sacrifice

doubtfu! guarantee for the fruits of
The press insinuates that America
and England are neglecting France in
favor of Germany because it is to

This crooked argument is intended
to dish up to France the pct sugges

rival Germany'a economic power by
annexations and amputations of Ger?
man territory and thus become a part

truBt, she would act much mbre wisely
by joining harids with Germany.

Washinglon Bureav
WASHIMGTON, Feb. 28. Presidenl
Wilson to-day told members of the
Democratic National Committee that
he would not be a candidate for re
election in 1920. Aftcr March 1, 1921,
he informed tlie Democratic leaders in
a talk after a luncheon at the White
House, he will turn his attention to
writing liistory.
The statement, which was derlared
by members of the committee to be a!>
solutely flal and unequivocal, was
drawn out by their aasumption that
Mr. Wilson would aeerpt another nom
inal ion.
fi is a good thing, the Presidenl told
the committeemen, that custom pei
mita only two terms to a Presidenl
Were it longer, he. pointedjout, a man
might not be able to stand<;. He -
preased the view that, no mattor what
might be said in attacks on the PreE
dent, there was always a feeling of
shock on the part of the public if the
Presidenl in defence should attack his
lears He Might Bural
Remaining in office with this or! of
muzzle unon him, he said, would natu
rally fil] any man occupying the office
of President so full of "gas" -several
of his auditors used the samc words in
quoting the Presidenl on this that he
would burst if he did not get relief. ,
And this relief the President expects
to get, he told his hcarers with some
grimness, when he yuits ofliee. In
writing the history of these times the
President said he would have to search
through the dictionary to fmd words
capable of expressing his iden* abou
some or the men nbw opposing the
league of nations. He spoke to-day o;
their "pygmy minds," and used lan?
guage so strong that several said they
did not wish to quote him.
The President declared he had not
been discouraged by the results of t ?..
election last November, despite his ap
peal to the country to elect a Demo?
cratic House and Senate. He said many
of the men who were defeated g< :
what was coming to them.
Republics Are I'ngrateful
He softened this statement after
ward by discussing at some Iength the
tendenciej in republics, pointing out
that frequentiy, just after big reforrr.s
have been put into efTect which the
pubjic has not had a chance to bceome
accustomed to, there is such a rcsent
ment against s*me of the men who hnd
a hand in bringing them abou' that
many are defeated.

It can be no mere coincidence that Julian Fantino's 2007 hardboiled memoir, The Life of a Cop was composed by the PR consultant Jerry Amernic – a self-described "developer and executor" of "strategic public relations programs designed to introduce an organization to the media and make them media-friendly." Indeed, if there is anyone currently warming an Ottawa cabinet seat who requires a media makeover, that person is Julian Fantino.
[np_storybar title="Christie Blatchford: Veterans learning what Caledonia residents already know — Julian Fantino is a bully" link="http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/01/29/christie-blatchford-veterans-learning-what-caledonia-residents-already-know-julian-fantino-is-a-bully/"%5DWell, well, well, if it isn't Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino, or the former junior minister for seniors as I so enjoyed calling him when he served too briefly in that position, in a spot of trouble.
Mr. Fantino, as many know by now, was slated to meet a diverse group of veterans from across Canada on Tuesday.
They are unhappy with his decision to close nine of the department's regional offices, to be replaced by the warm and wonderful folks of Service Canada ("People Serving People" is its slogan, don't you know, as opposed to what, "People Serving Cats"?), the giant bureaucracy that purports to serve all Canadians needing information or help from government.

The long career of this one-time Toronto shopping mall security guard seems to have a trail of soot attending him wherever he goes. The late NDP MPP Peter Kormos, himself a practitioner of the scrappy and insubordinate mode of politics, once accused Fantino of line-crossing, lack of self-control and Rambo-styled policing. The charge was levelled by Kormos in one of several instances of alleged illegal wiretapping in which Fantino was a participant involving cell phone conversations with the Tyendinaga activist and rabble-rouser Shane Brant.
Perhaps the more telling example, however, was Fantino's wiretapping and surveillance back in 1991 of then Metro Toronto Police Services Board Chair, Susan Eng, appointed by the province to undertake reforms in the wake of police shootings of young black men. That catalyzed a pattern of vindictive behaviour followed by swift redeployment, as Fantino became the public relations hot potato of successive bosses and handlers. In 1991, shortly after the Susan Eng affair, Fantino left Toronto to accept the warm embrace of the London Police Services.
At the time of this promotion, the bulk of Fantino's controversies were yet ahead of him. In London, the Rambo style flourished again as Fantino undertook the prosecution of Project Guardian, an alleged child pornography ring which uncovered instances of prostitution and drug possession but none of child pornography. As Toronto Chief of Police, Fantino would repeat this performance as Project Snowball, publicly and wrongly identifying victims of credit card fraud and identity theft as guilty child pornographers – a clumsy and stupid act which led to ruined lives and the suicide of an innocent man named James LeCraw.
Fantino was then elevated once again by Premier Dalton McGuinty to the position of Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police. In this role he undertook additional pursuits of child pornography (at long last with seemingly credible results and with eventual charges against 35 individuals) and presided over the chaos of Caledonia, personally meddling in the affairs of the town's mayor – an act which led Kormos to call for his firing.
Unfortunately for Kormos, as for the many others who have called for a similar course of action, Fantino has been consistently rewarded by his political masters with curious promotions. Belligerent and allergic to criticism, he has never quite grasped the not-so-fine line between professionalism and personal attack. When he restored the official Ontario Provincial Police colour scheme to black-and-white, in 2007, I remember thinking to myself: "and why not, since it's precisely how he views the world."
In the race of electoral politics, Fantino has thrived – but again his promotions as well as his horizontal movements have come not as a result of merit and achievement. As the Serial Minister of Various Affairs, the man has blustered and blundered, alienating constituents and stakeholders and using the resources of his office to engage in a partisan attack His latest insult— this time against war veterans — is proof of his unsuitability, one more instance in a long career of similar proofs. The time is overdue for him to reap the final reward he so richly deserves.

NEW YORK: Family, friends and fans united in grief Thursday in an emotional sendoff for James Gandolfini, star of the hit TV series "The Sopranos."Gandolfini, a Golden Globe and three-time Emmy winner for his portrayal of emotionally vulnerable New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano, died June 19 after a heart attack in a hotel in Rome, where he was traveling with his 13-year-old son. He was 51.
Mourners converged on Manhattan's Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, an Episcopal church that is among the world's biggest, well before the mid-morning start of Gandolfini's funeral.
Some 1,500 people filled the pews, including Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the state across the Hudson River from New York City where Gandolfini was born and "The Sopranos" was set.
Also present for the two-hour funeral were cast members of the HBO series, whose creator David Chase delivered a eulogy in the form of a letter to his fellow American of Italian heritage.
"We both loved family, work, people, food, alcohol, talking," said Chase, who remembers his friend as "a sad boy, loving and confused... That's why I think you were such a great actor, because of that boy inside."Longtime friend and fellow thespian Susan Aston affectionately remembered Gandolfini as "my teddy bear friend."Others in attendance included actor Alec Baldwin, like Gandolfini a veteran of Broadway theater, and Edie Falco, who played Tony Soprano's wife Carmela in the series that ran from 1999 to 2007.
"The end of The Sopranos has a different meaning to me now," said Baldwin on his Twitter feed after the funeral. "Rest in peace, Jimmy."Gandolfini's second wife Deborah Lin spoke of a loving husband and attentive father to their nine-month-old daughter Liliana who was "always trying to help someone."Emotions were no less strong outside the cathedral.
"We've been up since 4:30 this morning," said Stephanie Solana, a fan who traveled to the Upper West Side from The Bronx with her two granddaughters to pay her respects.
"My heart is broken. It is really bad for the fans, but he will always live on for me. We'll never forget him.""I am probably the oldest fan here," echoed a 93-year-old New Yorker, who preferred not to give her name. "He was one of the greatest actors of his generation.""The Sopranos," she added, was nothing less than "a work of art ... better than Shakespeare.
It had a real depth."On Wednesday, family and close friends gathered away from prying cameras for an invitation-only private viewing at a funeral home in Park Ridge, New Jersey, near where the actor grew up.
Gandolfini had a long film and stage career before lending his heavy stature and big grin to play a depressed mafioso in "The Sopranos."When he died, the son of an Italian bricklayer was in Italy for the Taormina Film Fest in Sicily where he was to have received an award and participate in a roundtable discussion.
Besides "The Sopranos," Gandolfini appeared in a raft of motion pictures, including director Kathryn Bigelow's 2012 Al-Qaeda thriller "Zero Dark Thirty"in which he portrayed the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The Season 6 finale of AMC's "The Walking Dead" introduced fans to Negan, considered one of the most notorious villains to come out of Robert Kirkman's comic books. It also featured the death of a key member of Rick's gang.
Viewers weren't shown who died, and the cliffhanger ending resulted in executive producer Scott M. Gimple being at the receiving end of a lot of backlash. Fans will have to wait till the fall, when Season 7 airs, to find out who died, but various theories hint at Glenn meeting his comic book fate.
As fans of Kirkman's comic series know, Negan beats Glenn to death with his bat Lucille, and a new video theory too hints at Glenn being a goner. Negan chooses his victim by playing a game of "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe" and if the nine-person line-up is matched with the words in the rhyme, then Negan ends the rhyme when he reaches Glenn, the video that has since been taken down by YouTube due to copyright violation noted.
Actor Steven Yeun, who plays Glenn, has signed onto an independent action thriller titled "Mayhem," and many believe this could be another indication that Glenn is dead. Chances are also high of filming of "The Walking Dead" overlapping with that of "Mayhem."
The cast and crew of "The Walking Dead," besides Gimple, are apparently unaware of who Negan kills, and executive producer Gale Anne Hurd recently told Digital Spy that even she was eager to know who died. "You'll be out of your misery very soon in the new season — and I guess so will somebody else! I want to know what happens next too — believe me! Honestly, I do not know who it is," she said.
There's a six-month wait before Season 7 of "The Walking Dead" returns to AMC.
