Robin Cook MP has died
Warning: This post was published more than 12 years ago.
I keep old posts on the site because sometimes it's interesting to read old content. Not everything that is old is bad. Also, I think people might be interested to track how my views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured!
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might have changed in the 12 years since I wrote this post.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Many thanks for your understanding.
Robin Cook, one of the few politicians to whom morals meant more than career, has died aged 59. He was, without doubt, one of the most intelligent MPs to have sat in the Commons in recent years, and an extremely skilled debater. He isn't someone I always agreed with, but he's someone I always highly respected. There's a full obituary on the BBC News site.
Requiescat in pace

Governor Scott Walker received the endorsement of the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association [GLTPA] today for the upcoming recall election. The GLTPA is the statewide trade association representing loggers, sawmills, and other parts of the forest products industry.
"Governor Walker has given loggers and other employers the confidence they need to create jobs and move Wisconsin's economy forward," said Henry Schienebeck, executive director of the GLTPA. "Wisconsin cannot afford a change in the governor's office. We proudly endorse Governor Walker today because our state is creating jobs and headed in the right direction under his courageous leadership."
In reaction to the endorsement, Governor Walker said:
"The timber industry is one of Wisconsin's robust and vital industries, and I am committed to helping timber professionals continue to grow and create jobs. I thank the GLTPA for its endorsement and its commitment to move Wisconsin forward under our leadership."

My middle girl, Merrily, is currently free as a bird until September. Her GCSEs are finally behind her and, having sat enough of them last year to know that her place at college is in the bag, she needn't fret about the outcome. All that's left is for her to enjoy the summer.
Oh, how well I remember that feeling of freedom. Almost 30 years might have passed since I, too, was 16, but I can still vividly recall exactly how it felt to wake up each morning knowing that school was out. Forever.
The summer of '85 remains one of the best of my life. I got up to all kinds of mischief, earned more money than my piggy bank could comfortably hold and fell in love for the very first time. And all of it experienced in a hedonistic, the-future-can-wait state of mind.
A gang of us kicked off the end of our exams by ripping up our exercise books and wrapping our school ties around the railings outside school.
In the weeks that followed we went skinny-dipping in a local lake, choked on Silk Cut Menthols around the back of the cinema and descended on parent-free houses to watch the kind of horror movies that contained scenes so gruesome they haunt me to this day.
It was as though we had embarked on a mission to tick off every teenage shenanigan we could think of before summer ended.
Even now, there's a house close to my parents' that, each time I drive past it, prompts a quiet smirk at the memory of one raucous game of spin-the-bottle played with a group of former classmates inside.
I don't know what heightened the thrill of that day the most: the two-litre bottle of cider shared between eight of us; the dares that got honoured; or the fact that we were in various states of undress at one in the afternoon, snogging the same people who, just a couple of weeks earlier, we'd have been lining up with for double maths.
It wasn't all mischief, though. I also worked my socks off waitressing in a local pub, in the days when I could eat my weight in hot chocolate fudge cake and not gain a pound. I'd work an extra hour for free, just to be able to take a huge slab of the stuff home with me.
For 16-year-old Rachel Halliwell, pictured in 1985, the end of school meant Silk Cut Menthols and romance
These were also the days when office workers enjoyed boozy lunches and – remember, this was the Eighties – tipped heavily. I'd empty out the jam jar with my name on it at the end of each week and count up small mountains of spare change. Invariably I'd have enough to keep me in fluorescent leg warmers and Duran Duran posters for the rest of the year.
That was the summer I kissed the first boy who would go on to tell me he loved me – a sentiment we shared long before the nights started to draw in. Without school nights getting in the way of things, we spent a ridiculous amount of time together, yet never tired of each other's company.
The fact that he could drive, and his mum would let him borrow her car, helped. I'd happily sit for hours listening to the Thompson Twins on my Sony Walkman while he tinkered with her Toyota Corolla in the drive.
I doubt he had the first clue what he was doing, but I played along in return for the kudos that having a boyfriend with wheels gave me.
Meanwhile – and I don't care what the meteorologists might say to the contrary – each day was glorious and sunny. Did it rain? It must have, but I don't remember a drop falling on me.
It really was the summer to beat all others – the last hurrah before the more serious business of A-levels and having to decide what I was going to do with my life.
I just hope that my girl has a similarly fabulous one herself. Like my mum did in '85, I intend to turn a blind eye to countless minor misdemeanours. My own experience reassures me that she's unlikely to get into any scrapes that will cause lasting problems.
And if a boy pulls up with his mum's car and plans to take her off for the afternoon, I will tell her not to rush home, even if it kills me.
However she spends her sweet 16 summer, if she enjoys it half as much as I did mine, she will have a ball. And I hope she'll go on to end it with the kind of memories that will carry her through the more serious business that life will start to throw at her all too soon.
Dos and don'ts for your free summer
DON'T worry about your exams. They're behind you now and whatever the outcome, everything will, ultimately, work out just fine.
DO get a summer job. It's not just about earning money – it gives you a sense of purpose, you'll meet new people and it'll stop you getting bored.
DON'T fear boredom, though. It'll inspire you to stop spending the best part of the day in bed before you reach the end of August.
DO indulge your senses by getting outside with your mates. A country walk with your parents might seem dull and meaningless, but getting lost in the woods with friends can be a riot.
DO travel. Get a railcard and take yourself off to explore new places.
DO let yourself fall madly in love with someone as inappropriate as you like. You don't have to marry them and come autumn, when temperatures cool, you may well find your feelings will, too, and there'll be no harm done.

EARL OF THOMOND and SIR DONALD O'BRENE.
This record is held by Lambeth Palace Library
|EARL OF THOMOND and SIR DONALD O'BRENE.
Indenture, 9th May, 6 Edw. VI., between Sir James Crofte, Deputy of Ireland, of the first part, Donough O'Brene, knight, Earl of Thomond, of the second part, and Sir Donald O'Brene of the third part.
The said Earl and Donald agree to join together for the service of the King, and to observe mutual friendship towards each other, as becomes kinsmen. For the better support of the said Donald, the Earl will grant such a portion of seventeen quarters of the lands which the said Donald and his tenants and followers possess within the countries of Corckymrow, Baryn, and Kialarwaky, entirely free from all claim, as is equivalent to the clear annual rent and profit of half of the possessions of the barony of Ibrecan, which [barony] the said Earl, by grant of King Henry VIII., obtained for himself and his heirs male. If the said 17 quarters should not suffice for the full value of the said half, then the said Donald shall be satisfied for the remainder elsewhere amongst the lands of the said Earl. Sir Donald to hold the said lands in tail male by knight service, that is, by the 20th part of one knight's fee. If the Earl should be unable to confer those lands, then he will be a mediator to intercede with the King, and get the Lord Deputy to petition his Highness to grant the premises to the said Donald and his heirs.
The said Donald covenants that he will not make any claim for anything which the Earl has obtained or shall obtain from the King, or which he possesses of right, but obey the Earl and his heirs, and lend him his support, as becomes a good brother. The Earl agrees that the said Donald shall enjoy the office of steward of Bonyn and Tradrey with all the emoluments of the same during his life.
II. Ordinances, made in Michaelmas, 2 Mary, between Cornerus O'Bryen, by the King's authority Earl of Thomond, and Donald O'Bryen, named O'Bryen according to the ancient custom of the country.
The said Donald petitioned that according to that nominatian he may be established by the Queen, and thenceforth he will be a faithful subject, and serve against the Queen's rebels under the Lord Deputy. The Lord Deputy and Council answered that they could not accede to his request, but would write to the Queen in his favour.
With respect to all controversies between the said Earl and Donald, the title or name of O'Brien only excepted, the latter is content to stand to the arbitrament of the Lord of Mountgaret, the Baron of Dunboyne, and the Baron of Caher, for the said Earl, and of the Lord Occarwell, Thadeus O'Mulryan and MacO'Bryen Ara, for the said Donald, and that they shall conclude and determine all controversies between the parties. If they should not agree, superiority is then granted to the Lord Deputy, the Lord Chancellor and the Earl of Desmond.
Moreover the said Earl and Donald consent that on each side hostages shall be placed in the hands of the Lord Deputy and remain in the custody of the Mayor of Limerick, namely, Moriertaghe O'Bryen, son of the said Donald, for him, and Terence O'Bryen, brother of the said Earl, for him, for the due observance of peace and the fulfilment of the arbitrament to be made by the arbitrators before named, and also, on the part of the said Donald, for peace towards the Lady Helena, mother of the said Earl, her servants and followers, as well within the country of Thomond as without. For the greater security of the said Earl, his mother, their servants and followers, as well the brothers of the same Donald as the sons of Maurus O'Bryen shall give hostages out of their own servants or followers, to remain in the hands of the said Mayor.
The said arbitrators shall duly examine all controversies respecting the title of lands and castles, and the chief rectories and tithes, and other rights claimed to belong to the Earl or his mother. If it shall be found that any of them belong to the Earl or his mother, restitution shall be adjudged.
The parties also agree that after the determination thus made, if either of them break the peace contracted in this manner, he shall lose his hostage, who is to be placed in the hands of the other, and the hostage of him who has observed the peace shall be released; and also that he who refuses to stand to the said arbitrament shall lose his hostage, to be placed in the hands of the other party.
Whereas Donough, son of Maurus O'Brien, now remains a hostage in the hands of the Baron of Dunboyne by the assignation of the said Earl of Thomond, it is ordered, with the consent of the parties, that the arbitrators shall examine the cause of the detention of the said hostage, and make order in that behalf according to justice, and that the said Donough shall be brought to Limerick, at the assignation of the said arbitrators. Moreover, whereas Moriertaghe O'Bryen, son of the said Donald, now remains hostage for him, and Terence O'Bryen for the said Earl, they may be changed from time to time for other sufficient hostages from their followers with the approbation of both parties, provided that this be signified to the Mayor aforesaid; and the said parties shall find security in Limerick for the fulfilment of the said arbitrament.
It is ordered, as well by the said Lord Deputy and Council, as by the said Earl and Donald, that if the Queen be not pleased that the same Donald shall remain in the estate and name of O'Bryen, but wishes to maintain the said Earl in the same as Earl of Thomond, then the said Donald shall have his hostage delivered into his hands without payment of expenses, and have one month's notice before any injury is done to him either by the King or the said Earl, his confederates or followers.
For fulfilment of the premises besides the hostages aforesaid, the Earl and Donald have taken their oaths on the slanty of the Lord Deputy and Council, the Earl of Desmond and all the archbishops and bishops of this kingdom. The said Donald has solemnly sworn that he will accept the said Earl as his own son, and protect and defend him, and permit all the Earl's servants and followers to be with him at all times without impediment.
In witness whereof the Lord Deputy and Council and the parties aforesaid have affixed their names to each part of this indenture.
Moreover, it is ordered by the Lord Deputy and Council, with the consent of the parties, that if the above named Moriertaghe O'Bryen, hostage for the said Donald, should not appear to the said arbitrators fit or sufficient, then they shall nominate another hostage for the said Donald, to be placed in the hands of the said Mayor; and the said Earl shall do the like with respect to his hostage.
Contemp. copy.

This is currently the layout I use on my flyer I send out with orders. I like that it's simple yet makes a statement. I also am left with the job of taking my own pictures. It can be difficult a times but I've learned to make it work for me. I like how simple this layout is. A few strips of paper and a couple rub ons. I let the title work as my journaling. It fits me to a T. Creative. That's me!
This layout is a little more involved. I really like how it all came together though and fell into place. I have to admit that I'm pretty lazy and I rarely do anything to chipboard, like these letters. I hate to get out the paint, and all the fuss that comes along with it. Painting the letters, waiting for them to dry, the clean up. So I usually just ink them and let them be. I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of rub ons. It's rare if I make a layout without them.
This is one of my earlier layouts. I created it before I had really come into my own style. Yet, it is still one of my favorites, probably because of the subject matter. The picture is of me, probably about 2-3 years old. I was sitting in a diapers box holding a picture of Jesus. I think the journaling says it all.
If you look closely you will see this layout has the same set up from the Having a Ball layout. Amazing how changing some paper and embellishments will transform a layout!
I like working on an 8x8 size paper. It's perfect for me. I generally just scrap one picture to a page. Sometimes I journal a lot, if I'm in a journaling mood, sometimes I let the title say it all. Usually I let the title speak for the layout though.
Feel free to take a look around my shop www.paperprincess34.etsy.com or contact me through convo if you're looking for a trendy way to preserve your memories.

Europe owes us a renegotiation
A word of encouragement to Enda Kenny on his first visit to Helsinki as leader of a new Irish Government next week for the informal summit of heads of state belonging to the European Parliament's EPP group.
When he gets the expected objections from German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, he should remind both of them forcefully of Ireland's past willingness to "renegotiate" at Europe's request in holding two additional referenda to get european treaties passed. One hand washes the other.

Caverion Corporation Stock exchange release November 1, 2013 at 7:55
The Board of Directors of Caverion Corporation has approved updated financial targets for Caverion Group. The target for operating cash flow after investments has been replaced with a target for working capital. The targets for revenue and EBITDA remain as announced previously on June 4, 2013.
The company's updated long-term financial targets by the end of 2016 are:
"Our updated targets reflect our determination to focus not only on increasing the profitability and efficiency of our business, but also on more efficient use of capital. By addressing this, we can free up capital and further improve our cash flow," states CFO Antti Heinola.
Dividend policy repeated Caverion's dividend policy remains unchanged. The company's aim is to distribute at least 50 per cent of the result for the year after taxes, excluding changes in fair value, as dividend and capital redemption to the company's shareholders.
There is no certainty of the company achieving the above financial targets or being able to maintain them if it reaches them. The company uses the above-mentioned indicators at selected intervals in its business. Even though there are no plans to amend the dividend policy, there is also no guarantee that a dividend or capital redemption will actually be paid in the future, and no guarantee of the amount of the dividend or return of capital to be paid for any given year.
For additional information, please contact:
Antti Heinola, Chief Financial Officer, Caverion Corporation, tel. +358 40 352 1033, email@example.com Milena Hæggström, Head of Investor Relations, tel. +358 40 5581 328, firstname.lastname@example.com

The southern rural province of Kerala is very different from India's urban centers: it is uncrowded, clean, with a relaxed pace - a great place to unwind, eat fresh seafood, swim in warm winter waters (Arabian Sea), and enjoy the nature and local Keralite culture.

For background on us, please see our first trip report here:
As our four-day trip was short, we flew into Kochi airport and flew out of Trivandrum, to avoid driving back.
DAY 1 - Backwater cruise from Alleppey, across Lake Vembanad, to Kumarakom
DAY 2 - Drive down coast to Varkala Beach
DAY 3 & 4 - Beachtime
- Pack mosquito repellent, sanitizer wipes, soap flakes, Imodium (in case!) and flashlight (power outages are frequent if brief)
- Most universal plug adapters do not fit, so bring an India-specific one

Trip Report Kerala: Backwaters & Beach (DEC 2013)
Report Abuse
We'd heard much that a houseboat cruise gliding slowly through Kerala's network of backwaters is not to be missed. Very true!
Traveling in with my husband and two friends, we hired a private one-bedroom houseboat, opted for a day cruise (11am-5pm) rather than an overnight stay on the boat, due to stories of water creatures possibly joining on board when moored in the swamp-like canals at night.
Ideally you'd need two days to fully take in the backwaters, which stretch out all around Lake Vembanad - one of India's largest lakes, which itself takes hours to cross. Not wanting to miss the Alleppey side, which is considered the most scenic, but preferring to stay at Kumarakom, a lakeside resort town, we requested boarding at Alleppey and drop-off at Kumarakom.
Our flight arrived at Kochi airport around 4am, and the drive to Alleppey took just over an hour (in the daytime it would probably take longer due to traffic and slow roads). Our driver Manej, recommended by a fellow expat friend, used to work in Abu Dhabi where we currently live, and was a great guy & safe driver. His phone is: (+91) 956 7834442.
First order of business: BYOB. Stopped at a roadside stand and bought a dozen bottles of the national beer (Kingfisher) and stored it in an icebox on the boat. The two-man crew consisted of a captain and a cook. Standard practice in most tours is to stop at a fish market to buy seafood for lunch (cooked & served on board). Of the fresh catches available, we bought 'blue scampi' giant river prawns and small river fish (photo link above). Also bought and drank king coconuts, hydrating and fresh-tasting, perfect for the weather.
After lunch, the sun, the quiet nature sounds, the slow glide of the boat sent us into deep three-hour naps. Slept through as the boat crossed over the lake, woke as we docked at Kumarakom. Would have loved an extra day to see more of the backwaters, especially the narrower channels, since half our time was spent catching up on red-eye sleep debt!(but then, vacations are about lazing ...)
Checked into Taj Vivanta, a resort on the lakeside with spacious, well-tended grounds. Most rooms were in separate pavilions reached by a footbridge. The basic double was huge by usual standards of this room size, the best feature being an outdoor bathroom with an open-air rain-style shower and a bathtub, enclosed by walls and tall plants which provided privacy. Favorite hotel bathroom to date!
The resort offers a free sunset boat ride on the lake, followed by serving masala chai tea. Afterward, at dinner at the hotel restaurant, we shared a variety of curry dishes with naans & rotis. None were stand out for us, and though the others didn't mind it, I disliked the taste of ghee pervasive in all the dishes. We did better the next days, sticking to day's catch seafood and requesting non-ghee curries.
All in all, we had a lovely relaxing day. If short on time, I'd recommend the backwaters over the beach, as it's a unique signature landscape in Kerala.
Report Abuse
The drive from backwaters region to the stretch of beaches further down the Keralan coast took 5 hours on the slow roads. We passed through Kovalam, the bigger beach town, to quieter Varkala, arriving mid afternoon.
Varkala has a lively public beach by the cliffs as well as private strips at the hotels. Palm Tree Heritage, where we stayed, was one of the best on offer, though nowhere near resort quality. The hotel beachfront was minimal, without lounge chairs etc., but we just spread out towels on the sand, which was an interesting ash-gray hue and felt like soft wet cement. The Arabian Sea waters were warm even after the sun had set and good for swimming.
In the mornings, fishermen laid out their nets right out front of the hotel to sell straight to the restaurant: various local fish including the tasty pomfret, as well as tiger prawns, squid, and blue scampi.
We ate at different cafes of the dozens which line the cliff, and all serve seafood the same way, asking you to choose how you want it dressed and cooked. My favorites were grilled with tandoori spices and baked in banana leaf with ginger garlic butter. With every meal we had naan(instead of rice) and veggie curries such as marrow, potato-cauliflower, coconut.
Varkala reminded me of Berkeley, in its laidback vibe (and herb-friendliness), with mostly backpacker types or people on long tours of India. We spent all our nights on the cliff, where in addition to the lively cafes, the strip is dotted with Ayurvedic massage parlors, hostels, and souvenir shops. Didn't find any distinctive handicrafts, instead bought colorful graphic tees with stencil designs of Hindu gods, Hindi script, Kingfisher logo, etc.- kitschy yet wearable- about $3 each after haggling.
The most memorable aspect of Varkala for me was seeing the 'emerging economy' visibly in action in the town's local economy. All young Keralites spoke decent English and you see innovative touches in the cafes and businesses.
One hotel staffer told us, "To see Kerala you need a month, and to see India at least two years." With the tiny bit we saw of this province, and previous trips to Bangalore and Delhi, not even scratching the surface of what there is to see in this great vast nation, I fully agree!

Thanks for writing about the backwaters trip and sharing your experience. Did you use any tour operator to book this trip or booked it yourself?. Can you please share?
We are considering taking a houseboat booking from Iris Holidays based in Kerala and was wondering whether it is a good tour operator

It may be easy to believe that normal SEO activity will give you the results you want, no matter the business, but this is simply not true. Local SEO is very different to on-page SEO and requires particular attention to ensure that your locations get the right exposure in the SERPs.
Local SEO can be applied to any business that has one or more bricks and mortar addresses. This isn't just exclusive to shops, restaurants and florists but can also include the offices of solicitors, marketing agencies and a host of other types of companies; all that is required is a physical location.
So how does this Local SEO thing work? Here are four things to get you started on your way to Local success:
1. Local Citations
Citations are online references to your business information, including the name, address and phone number, and if possible, your website URL. Getting this information placed on local websites that are relevant to your business as well as in respected directories, such as Yelp, will help Google connect the dots with your business, the information provided and your website.
These citations work in a similar way to traditional link building, the more quality links built on relevant websites the more authoritative it makes your own website. Similarly, the more quality citations achieved, the more this will help your local SEO efforts however, unlike traditional link building, it does not always matter if a backlink is included as long as the websites are publishing your business information in a consistent way they will be picked up by search engines.
Aim only for the authoritative directories, those that have a lot of advertising or a poor trust flow shouldn't be used. You can use Majestic's backlink analyser to find out the website's trust flow and determine the quality, but generally you can tell by looking at them.
Moz Local is fantastic for seeing what citations on directories you already have, it pulls up any inconsistencies which could affect your efforts as well as any duplicate entries. Moz also offer a list of citations that can be worked through to ensure you're appearing on as many directories as possible.
No, this doesn't mean have a little sleep between tasks. NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone number, with these details consistency is key as they are used by Google to decide where to rank a business in their local search results. If your business' NAP is mentioned frequently on many websites it makes sense to Google that your business deserves a higher ranking than those that rarely appear; and, as mentioned above, unlike traditional link building, your NAP does not need to be linked to your website in order to count in the eyes of Google, therefore all mentions of the consistent information will count towards your ranking.
It would benefit a business to discover where their competitors have their citations/NAP in order to get your business ontp those websites as well, lessening their signal strength and increasing yours.
SEO Mark has a handy way of cutting down the monotony of this task with a clever Google search operator:
"Competitor's Business Name" AND "Competitor's Postcode" -site:http://www.competitorswebsite.co.uk
As an example, to find out where this site is listed, you would search Google for this:
"SEOmark" AND "B91 2DL" -site:http://www.seomark.co.uk
Once you have the list of websites that your competitors have managed to get their information on, choose the best from the list and take time entering your company's information on them, it cannot be stressed enough that the details should be entered in exactly the same format they appear everywhere else.
It is recommended that businesses use schema.org to ensure search engines display your NAP correctly. It is a good idea to have your NAP on every page of your website, so positioning in the footer may be a good idea. Here is the code, provided by Search Engine Land, required when marking up with Schema.org data mark up:

COMPANY NAME

ADDRESS LINE 1

CITY
,

REGION

POSTCODE/ZIP</p.

PHONE NUMBER

<meta itemprop="latitude" content="LATITUDE" />
<meta itemprop="longitude" content="LONGITUDE" />
Replace the bold text with your company's information.
3. Google My Business
Google My Business is the Holy Grail for Local SEO. If your local listings are incorrect on Google all other efforts will be a waste of time. The first step to making sure your Google My Business is the best it can be is by making sure you actually have one, you can find out how and actually start the process by visiting this page.
Once you are set up on there it is all about optimisation, optimisation and optimisation. Make sure that your listing includes your business name, correct address, relevant categories, high-resolution images, phone number, opening times and any other information you believe would benefit potential consumers.
It is vital that all this information matches all other information about this location across the web. For example, your business name should appear exactly as it does on your website. Consistency is the key to succeeding at local SEO.
Categories are something that people take lightly but, in a 2015 survey by Moz, the number one negative ranking factor was in fact incorrect business category.
Below is an example of how categories should and should not be entered into Google My Business.
If you are struggling to think of a primary category for your company, search for your competitors on Google and see what they have put in their information card on the right hand side of the results page.
4. Reviews
Reviews are important for local SEO as studies have proven that they have a direct impact on the local search results and rankings. The Moz 2015 survey identified the influence of eight thematic clusters of ranking factors across local results, from this they assigned a percentage of influence, and reviews accounted for 8.4% of the influence in local ranking factors. This makes them an essential part of your local SEO activity.
Start with Google reviews, these should be considered the most important. It may be worth incentivising customers to leave a review, be sure to monitor social media and emails to make sure that those that have had a negative experience are flagged and are not asked for a Google review. Negative reviews, if genuine, are there for the life of your listing so actively avoiding them where you can will benefit your rankings.
If you have regular customers/clients these would be the best place to start, offer a discount on their next visit or a free gift if they leave a review.
Once you have started to build a good collection of Google reviews you can start building reviews on other trusted websites, such as Yelp, reviews from this website are used by Apple maps.
If you have started working towards your Local SEO these are the places to concentrate on initially, if however, you have given it a go and feel it isn't benefitting your business a thorough local SEO audit may be required. If this is the case contact Receptional who can get your local listings back on the right track.

Worms Crazy Golf is a casual 2D golfing game that is a mixture of Worms artillery gameplay and the puzzle based gameplay of Crazy Golf.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro A lot of replayability
Though the courses are not randomly generated like traditional Worms games, there are three 18 course golf courses to play on that all require some good trick shot skills in order to place on the games leaderboards. So this will make for tons of practice for those that do want to get those high scores, which greatly lengthens the gameplay of this title.
Pro Great mash up of Worms gameplay and mini-golf
Blending how the original Worms mechanics work when using weapons (how one can gauge how far to shoot a weapon and where it should land) with the mechanics of mini-golf is done so well and intuitively in the game that it fits right in with the franchise. The mash-up of each works quite well and makes for a fun game.
For those that would like to play with a mouse and keyboard on PC it is particularly clear that the game was designed with touch devices in mind making for a less than stellar controls scheme and menu navigation.

Dolphin Tale is a heartwarming family film inspired by the true story of an adorable bottlenose dolphin named Winter, who was rescued by a young boy off the Florida coast and taken in by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Sure, the story of a boy and his animal friend is a familiar -- if not dated -- trope, but it works reasonably well here thanks to the earnestness that director Charles Martin Smith brings to the project. He turns Dolphin Tale into the kind of movie that gives "family friendly" a good name, and he does it without compromising the core of the real Winter's experiences -- first surviving without a tail, then learning to use a prosthetic appendage, and finally serving as an inspiration for children and adults with disabilities.
The film centers on Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble), a young boy dealing with the absence of his father and spending a summer without any friends. Things change when he finds Winter, an injured dolphin who lost her tail after being tangled in a crab trap. Sawyer, along with veterinarian Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.) and Clay's daughter Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff), rescues the mammal and brings her to the marine hospital, where he decides to spend the summer helping with Winter's recovery. Eventually, Sawyer's dedication inspires a local doctor (Morgan Freeman), who agrees to design a prosthetic tail for Winter.
While Dolphin Tale boasts an impressive cast -- Ashley Judd plays Sawyer's struggling single mother (who strikes up a romantic relationship with Haskett), Kris Kristofferson makes an appearance as Haskett's grizzled, preachy father, and Freeman plays the cranky military doctor with a sentimental side --the film's soul lies with the mutually dependent relationship between a troubled preteen and his marine-mammal BFF. Winter is captivating on camera both within the narrative of the film and in documentary footage showcasing Winter interacting with people with disabilities. The underwater sequences are stunning, capturing the unique playfulness of dolphins (with a little CGI help), and they even utilize some effective point-of-view shots from the dolphin, which lends a sense of authenticity to an otherwise predictable story.
Ultimately, Dolphin Tale is a comforting throw back to classic family films from the Disney vault, in which the kids are polite, the adults have all the answers, and there's no problem a little good-hearted TLC and dedication can't solve.

Southwest Car Care Center
Review for Southwest Car Care Center
Kevin H. on 05/24/2013
Kevin said he went to another business and he was told it would cost $3500 to replace his transmission. When he came to this business they gave him an alternative of flushing his transmission out and also let him know if he did it could be better, worse or the same. If it did not work and he needed a new transmission they would credit him $400 off of his total price if he has it done with this business. He now wants to do all of his vehicle services with this business because they were great.

Ramona's schools are welcoming all students back next Monday—and we are preparing for an extraordinary school year. Fresh with recent news of outstanding test results from the state's comprehensive testing system, our classrooms and teachers are eager to welcome this year's students.
In spite of last year's well-publicized budget woes, our local school employees worked extremely hard with parents and students to make excellent gains in student achievement.
Recognizing that scores vary from site to site, our overall district STAR results show an increase in the percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in Language Arts at every grade level from Grade 2 through 9. Similarly, our Mathematics results show improvement at every grade level from Grade 3 through Grade 6, with strong increases in Algebra I and Algebra II at the secondary level.
While we still have a long way to go in ensuring that all students are learning at their fullest potential, I am personally very proud of our achievement record last year—especially when one considers that our classroom employees could easily have become distracted with budget issues, layoff possibilities and other distractions to their day-to-day responsibilities.
Local families will certainly recall how the district was forced to cut more than $6 million from our school budget last spring, resulting in eliminated positions among teachers, classified employees and administrators. Although schools have received a shot in the arm with "one-time only" federal stimulus funding under the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act, experts agree that public education will have a very difficult time again this spring in addressing continued budget deficits in the 2010-11 school year.
As we did last year, district officials intend to maintain frequent communication with staff and parents through a wide variety of media sources in order to continue our transparent handling of the various budget issues. In the meantime, we are confident that we have adopted a solid fiscal plan locally that will provide employees with the resources they need to serve our students in the best manner possible.
Still, I am keenly aware that most parents—including my wife and me—are probably more concerned with their own children than the state of the entire system. To that end, let me offer four basic tips to assist parents this year in supporting their children within our local schools:
1. Speak positively about school. Children learn to value what their parents value, and positive words in the home about teachers and the importance of completing quality work go a long way to keeping children focused on positive school habits.
2. Monitor daily work. Whether a child is in kindergarten or 12th grade, it is critically important for parents to review their daily assignments. Parental interest in their work helps keep children focused and provides parents with a daily awareness of their children's success in their studies.
3. Maintain a high level of expectation. Regardless of how gifted students may or may not be, always expect them to perform at their highest level. In an increasingly competitive collegiate and world environment, our children's future will require them to excel at a higher level than their predecessors in order to achieve the lifestyle they may eventually desire.
4. Supplement school work with outside reading. Even with the increasing emphasis on technology, research shows that nothing indicates future academic success better than reading skills. Parents should make every effort to ensure that their children read 20-30 minutes a day in independent reading activities. Visiting our school libraries, our public library, local bookstores, or online bookstores should become a regular habit for every household with school-aged children.
As we begin this new school year together, I urge parents to challenge themselves to make this year the best one ever in the practice of their own parenting skills. While we all navigate the perils of the current economy together in our schools, our neighborhoods and our homes, we must continue to partner together—parents, students and schools—in an effort to continue our enthusiasm for the success of our most precious resource—our children.

Aunt Becky took the boys down to the water to play. Ares was still eating dinner at first, but then joined in a bit later.
Grant was very interested in learning how to use the scoop and shovel.
And very pround of himself when he flung rocks at me. :-/
Aries shows Grant how it's done.
It was gorgeous out at the lake! Temps were perfectly cool, the water was calm, and the boys were having fun. Win.

It's kind of satisfying to mix the whimsical with the sublime. It's like reading your art history book with a zombie splatter movie on in the background. That's what these skateboards are like, but way sexier.
Designer Alexxx Castaneda (get it? He's got 3 x's in his name as if to imply eroticism) has painted seven decks with elegantly posed, Rubenesque women painted in the nude. The boards are a little pricey at $400, and are obviously not for skating. But they sure as s*** beat a framed print. Check them out at his NSFW Etsy profile.

You've completed your CS degree, you're hungry to start your tech career… but where do you go next and how do you excel?By Sramana Mitra (Founder, One Million by One Million)
It's the same old story: the world of tech is saturated with men, and female CS grads are barely getting a look in. Here we are, encouraging women to get involved in tech, and yet role models are all too few and far between.
Google, for example, recently released report acknowledging the lack of diversity in their workforce. The company says most of its workforce is white (61 percent) and male (70 percent).
To be fair, by and large, this is not Google's fault. It simply reflects the fact that the nation's education systems have not been able to attract enough women and minorities into their Computer Science programs, hence, for Google (and other tech companies who have similar demographic distributions) there is no supply of trained workers to hire from.
So, is this cause for despair? Far from it. On the contrary, this is the perfect time for women in tech to get involved and change the tech landscape from the inside out.
Opportunity in Scarcity
For those women who do have a Computer Science background, this really is a golden opportunity. Here are some strategies that you can use to catapult yourself to highly successful careers in the technology industry.
Notice none of them actually have anything to do with your actual computer science skills. I am assuming, you have learnt those well, and continue to keep yourself current. These strategies are the extra elements that may get you to a much larger role in the industry.
Become a Role Model
The media is desperately looking for cool, interesting women doing cool, interesting things with their careers. Become one of those icons, so you can leverage the media attention that can put your career in fast gear.
Marissa Mayer is one of the best examples of a female computer scientist who gave the media a "story." The media lapped it up. Marissa's career trajectory catapulted her to the top job at Yahoo!
Think, Write & Speak
In these days of pervasive social media, it's easy to develop a voice and find an audience, if you can write well. CNN's Fareed Zakaria was recently touting the advantages of knowing how to write. If you don't know how to write well, learn. It's one of the best investments you can make.
Nerds, often, cannot communicate well. Leaders, however, always do. Your aspiration should be to become a leader, not a nerd.
In that journey, public speaking is also a great asset. Develop a unique, well thought through point-of-view, and communicate it through the social media channels by writing, speaking, engaging in public debates and conversations.
Argue & Debate
Women tend to avoid conflict. Don't. If someone screams at you, feel free to scream right back. Learn to argue and defend your point of view in compelling ways.
Learn to Carry Yourself
Image matters. Instead of treating this as drudgery, being defensive about it, embrace the fun. Enjoy fashion. Develop a personal style. Make an aesthetic statement.
This, my observation, is a key issue today. One of the reasons we don't see as many women in computer science is that young girls tend to correlate computer science with nerdy looks and boring lifestyles. The icons and role models we're looking for today are those that are not only brilliant minds, but also have more style.
In other words, we're looking for feminine feminists.
Develop a Renaissance Mind
I believe, the next decade of innovation will be driven by people with renaissance minds, not the pure nerds and geeks. This, actually, plays to the strength of women, especially those who have studied not just computer science, but have also explored other liberal arts disciplines.
Do Not Quit
One of the greatest defeats of the feminist movement in America has been the phenomenon that women in the thirties are quitting the workforce in large numbers.
Many of them are highly educated, and just as they acquire sufficient experience to take on more substantial roles, the body clock sets off an alarm. Time to have babies.
However, family doesn't mean the end of your career – it just means more juggling's required. Whatever you do, please do not quit!
Take Risks
Entrepreneurship is a great way to give expression to a unique personal vision. Take risks to pursue that expression. Afraid of failure? Read: How Do You Overcome The Fear of Entrepreneurial Failure?
Stop Making Excuses
I don't believe there is gender discrimination in the tech industry IF you are good at what you do.
Have fun!
Are you a CS grad? How have you found the tech industry so far?

Australia's ruling Labor Party has voted resoundingly in support of gay marriage. However, gay and lesbian couples Down Under would be ill-advised to send out the invitations just yet.
Federal lawmakers will not be forced to support gay marriage when the issue comes before the parliament next year, as the party has handed dissenters — and there are many — a Get Out of Jail Free card in the form of a "conscience vote," the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The conscience vote — a motion endorsed by Prime Minister Julia Gillard during the party's annual conference in Sydney this weekend — entitles legislators to vote on the issue according to their personal beliefs rather than being forced to vote in line with the party's official position, as is customary.
The semi-satirical website Crikey.com saw it thus:
The ALP's 46th National Conference has decided to allow a conscience vote on gay marriage, with delegates voting 208 to 184 to permit conservative MPs to discriminate against same sex couples.
Prime Minister Gillard — who is unmarried — opposes any changes to Australia's Marriage Act, which prohibits same-sex marriage.
According to The Australian newspaper, Gillard has made her position on same-sex marriage "central to her leadership."
The reason, the paper says, is that she told power brokers in the Labor Party who enabled her to oust Kevin Rudd as party leader last year that she would never support gay marriage.
The stance is at odds with most Australians, according to recent polling which shows that a majority favor allowing same-sex marriage.
A poll commissioned by the Ambrose Centre for Religious Liberty, which opposes gay marriage, found that more people support gay marriage rights than not — 49 percent versus 40 percent — although it is not a top priority in the country.
The survey, reported by Pink News, also found that Australia's Labor Party would lose 2.2 percent of its voters if it supported marriage equality — a risky prospect for a government that holds a wafer-thin majority in the parliament over the conservative Liberal Party.
The Liberal Party — led by Tony Abbot, who once trained for the Catholic priesthood — opposes same-sex marriage.
The opposition has taken the line that gay marriage is a distraction for a ruling party that has many bigger issues to address, and showed that the Labor was out of touch with the concerns of mainstream Australia.
The Australian quoted opposition finance spokesman Andrew Robb as saying that the government was "obsessed with gay marriage at a time when Europe was on the cusp of economic meltdown and most Australians were more interested in the cost of living, their power bills and job security."
"While they're talking about gay marriage, there's boats turning up at Christmas Island," Robb reportedly said, in reference to the slow burn issue of asylum seekers.
However, the issue was debated passionately and at length by Labor lawmakers and party members at the Sydney conference.
Arguing for the status quo, Joe de Bruyn, national secretary of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association, one of the country's largest unions, said:
"This issue is one we should decide with our heads, not on the basis of emotion. The definition of marriage as set out in the legislation is that it is the union of one man and one woman, voluntarily entered into for life. It has always been that way since the dawn of humanity."
Sen. John Faulkner, however, brought many in the audience to a standing applause by saying it was the government's job to protect human rights:
"Human rights can never be at the mercy of individual opinions or individual prejudices. They are not privileges to be extended to one person and denied to another according to the whims of popular opinion or the whims of the government of the day. They are inherent in each and every one of us simply because we are human."
The policy amendment was formally proposed by ACT Deputy Chief Minister Andrew Barr — a life-long Labor Party member who is also gay and in a long-term committed relationship — and seconded by Finance Minister Penny Wong.
Wong, who was the first openly gay member of the Australian federal cabinet. In August, Wong announced that she and her long-term partner, Sophie Allouache, were expecting their first child this month, with Allouache falling pregnant through IVF.)
The amendment says:
"Labor will amend the Marriage Act to ensure equal access to marriage under statute for all couples, irrespective of sex, who have a mutual commitment to a shared life. These amendments should ensure that nothing in the Marriage Act imposes an obligation on a minister of religion to solemnize any marriage."

Skip to comments.Obama Reported Pressing to Slow Congressional Push for Iran Sanctions
Posted on 04/05/2010 8:31:55 PM PDT by SmartInsight
The Obama administration is reported to be pressing key members of the U.S. Congress to allow more time before taking final action on legislation that would impose tough, unilateral sanctions on Iran. The president says he believes there can be success within weeks, rather than months, in building a tough sanctions resolution in the U.N. Security Council.
Senator Joseph Lieberman called for quick action, describing new sanctions as a "last chance" for Iran.
But efforts at the United Nations come amid increased concern in the U.S. Congress that Iran might be speeding up efforts to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
Gibbs said only that this is a "critical time period" with U.S. allies at the United Nations. He reiterated the president's belief that a sanctions resolution would be acted on by the Security Council in the next few months.
(Excerpt) Read more at 1.voanews.com ...
US is unilaterally surrendering to Iran and is offering to accept a nuclear Iran, without any concessions from Iran — read this from Debka:
G8 skips Iran sanctions to boost secret US opening to IRGC
The US messengers offered IRGC emissaries the following arguments and inducements:
1. Washington was not seeking regime change in Tehran and had proved as much by not backing Iran's opposition in eight months of their protests against a probably rigged presidential election.
5. . As for the core issue, Iran's nuclear weapons program, here, too, the Obama administration was ready to be flexible, said the messengers, and accept Iran's acquisition of a nuclear bomb capability, so long as it does not cross the threshold and tip over into building bombs or stocking a nuclear arsenal.
Obama is Jimmy Carter minus the ounce of patriotism Carter had
Obama is Jimmy Carter minus the ounce of patriotism Carter had
I think 0bama is making Carter out to be a real patriot.
External enemies could never defeat us, so Obama is doing their job from the inside.
He wants them, his muslim brothers, to have more time to be able to nuke us.
As I recall, Europe was trying to put the brakes on Iran as early as 1992 or so. Germany and others were negotiating and Belgium wanted to give Iran time to consider what might happen. Three or so years later, Europe threw up its hands and the U.S. began the negotiations. I think the negotiations got pitched back to Europe sometime in there and, after time passed, the Messiah was elected. Now everything's going to be just fine, right?
Obama, the 12th Imam, wants Armageddon. All the financial stuff, health care stuff, etc. is just window dressing. Obama wants the end of the world as we know it.
Not possible. Carter backed Obama. They are birds of a feather. Carter certainly did plenty of damage in his day. I'm old enough to remember it.
But when it comes to all things Muslim, this man is only too careful not to offend.
He offends his own nation with nary a care and even mocks and shows disgust towards those of us who disagree with ruining the best health care in the world.
it he is AFRAID or REFUSES to offend those who would kill all Christians or infidels.
uhbama is one sick man.
He attempts to shame and distance our once solid relationship with Israel and England.
Yet he proposes to make nice with the Taliban. Is he a Muslim in his heart? Is that why he was able to attend a so called church for 20 some years that hated America?
Is he planning on putting a hijab on Michelle (I would not exactly blame him for that, however) someday and keeping her in a locked and blacked out home? His daughters, as well?)
Just think of what we know that sickens us and multiple it by 100, that's Obama.
Is Obama a mole?
Obama is no David Palmer. It's interesting to see what matters to him. he's clearly ok with getting tough when he wants to. See his painting of Bill and Hillary Clinton as racists to win the nomination.
OTOH, it was a pretty tough dilemma tonight with handing over Pres Hassan vs letting the bomb go off. I know you don't want to negotiate with terrorists, but in the case of the bomb going off vs handing over Hassan, I think I'd probably have turned him over.
He's waiting for Iran to test a bomb, hoping this will scare the Israelis so much they will of their own volition abandon their country in the hope being taken in by Europe or Russia or America. No chance of that happening though. Israel will hit Iran first before they get a chance to test. I wouldn't even put it past a "rogue" American general using forces under his command helping Israel out or even "independent" elements of the US intelligence community getting involved too. What would the alien Kenyan pseudo-American president do then?
I think he is a Muslim in fact steeped in Marxist ideology.
"What would the alien Kenyan pseudo-American president do then?"
Bomb Israel?
Note how upset he gets because Israel builds houses in Jerusalem, but doesn't want to hurt Iran's feelings, when they are building nukes and are threatening to wipe Israel off the map.
Note how upset he gets because Israel builds houses in Jerusalem, but doesnt want to hurt Irans feelings, when they are building nukes and are threatening to wipe Israel off the map."
I wouldn't put it past the alien president to order US forces to strike at elements of the IDF or hinder it in some way if Israel attempted to defend itself if attacked by Iran or another Arab/Muslim tribe that poses as a nation. And I wouldn't doubt that the US military would refuse. Now wouldn't that make for an interesting situation.
Excellent analysis in this article (National Review, they don't want excerpting, so please go to the link)
The Great Iran Charade
It almost seems like Obozo WANTS them to get the bomb, no? Oh, certainly that can't be true, could it?
I'm old enough to remember it.
So am I. 0bama is a thousand times worse than this evil bastard sonovabitch.
I understand how you feel. But people like Jimmy are the catalyst for this sort of crap. Never let him off the hook. And again Jimmy Peanuts backed Obama. Never forget that.

The federal cloud movement is well beyond the much referred to "Cloud First" policy. In the case of cloud, it is no longer a journey, but arguably a destination. In this keynote we will attempt to address some of the key elements of cloud services agencies and missions should now look for and expect from our cloud providers, technology partners and a the role of the systems integrator moving forward. Areas discussed: APIs, cloud compute utilization, private to public integration, vetting the vendors, expecting more from the SI, and some trends that are emerging.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Daily Collegian, I write this as someone who is in no way involved in electronic dance music culture or even likes to consider it music. I am constantly annoyed by the drunken buffoons who invade the bus at night after attending EDM concerts, and the idiocy of such people is a common topic in my conversations. However, I am tired of the University's approach to the "Molly issue" and partying in general. We cannot stand by idly as they treat us like children and abuse their executive authority. I remember last spring, we all received an email instructing us…

Obama: 'We Can Do Better'? The telling pull quote from his remarks:
"And in a time of tight budgets, we've got to do it in a way that makes sure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely."
Ok, so now we can do better than the following examples during the president's first term?
A reality TV show in India. The Department of Agriculture's Market Access Program spends $200 million a year to help U.S. agricultural trade associations and cooperatives advertise their products in foreign markets. In 2011, it funded a reality TV show in India that advertised U.S. cotton.
Studying pig poop. The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $141,450 grant under the Clean Air Act to fund a Chinese study on swine manure and a $1.2 million grant to the United Nations for clean fuel promotion.
Amtrak snacks. Federally subsidized Amtrak lost $84.5 million on its food and beverage services in 2011 and $833.8 million over the past 10 years. It has never broken even on these services.
Using military exercises to boost biofuels. The U.S. Navy bought 450,000 gallons of biofuels for $12 million—or almost $27 per gallon—to conduct exercises to showcase the fuel and bring it closer toward commercialization. It is the largest biofuel purchase ever made by the government.
Conferences for government employees. In 2008 and 2009 alone, the Department of Justice spent $121 million to host or participate in 1,832 conferences.
(From – Federal Spending by the Numbers – 2012)
"RoboSquirrel." $325,000 was spent on a robotic squirrel named "RoboSquirrel." This National Science Foundation grant was used to create a realistic-looking robotic squirrel for the purpose of studying how a rattlesnake would react to it.
Cupcakes. In Washington, D.C., and elsewhere across the country, cupcake shops are trending. The 10 cupcake shop owners who received $2 million in Small Business Administration loan guarantees, however, can only boast so much of their entrepreneurial ingenuity, since taxpayers are backing them up.
Food stamps for alcohol and junk food. Though they were intended to ensure hungry children received healthy meals, taxpayer-funded food stamps were instead spent on fast food at Taco Bell and Burger King; on non-nutritious foods such as candy, ice cream, and soft drinks; and on some 2,000 deceased persons in New York and Massachusetts. Food stamp recipients spent $2 billion on sugary drinks alone. Improper SNAP payments accounted for $2.5 billion in waste, including to one exotic dancer who was making $85,000 per year.
Beer brewing in New Hampshire. Despite Smuttynose brewery's financial success and popularity, it is still getting a $750,970 Community Development Block Grant to build a new brewery and restaurant facilities.
A covered bridge to nowhere. What list of government waste would be complete without a notorious "bridge to nowhere"? In this case, it's $520,000 to fix the Stevenson Road Covered Bridge in Green County, Ohio, which was last used in 2003.
(From – Waste Book 2012)
These examples don't begin to cover the wasted taxpayer dollars on failed Green Energy companies. So in one sense the president is correct that yes, "We Can Do Better." Looking at his track record on taxpayer dollar investments, President Obama is sorely lacking.
(Via Breitbart Feed.)
