It's one of Dr. Seuss's most popular character. It may just supplant Sam, The Grinch, and of course, Horton. Ask any little kid and they will tell you – The Cat In the Hat is where it's at. From his original storybook adventures to the different versions that came with a hit Broadway show and a PBS series, that frisky feline is a staple of the nursery since it was first published back in 1957. Of course, he's an anthropomorphic version of a four-footed friend, and his attitude is a bit anarchic, but for the most part, he's the only animal who is known for his unique head wear.
Until now…say Hello to a whole new selection of cats in hats. In this case, Japanese photographer Ryo Yamazaki decided to collect all the hair his three furry BFFs shed and turned it into a fashion statement. A few clicks of the camera and – BOOM! – we have a gallery of goofy pets who are killin' it with their wonderful whiskered ways. Of course, the hats are not 100% couture. Indeed, there's a couple that may remind you of a certain Leader of the Free World. Still, cats in hats rule. Seuss knew it. Now you know it too.

Swiss Re buys LAHC for £333m
Swiss Re has consolidated its position in the UK insurance market by purchasing Life Assurance Holding Corp Ltd (LAHC) for £333 million.
LAHC's main business is the purchase of closed books of life and health insurance policies. The company extracts economies of scale by pooling the closed books and outsourcing their administration until they expire.
Swiss Re, which operates a similar business through its Admin Re arm, wishes to expand into this field to counter slow growth in life reinsurance, where it is the market leader.
Admin Re said it would outsource the running of LAHC's books to Computer Science Corporation.
Analysts reacted positively to the potential cost savings of the deal, but were less enthusiastic about the method of finance.

I really have appreciated all of the trip reports and knowledge on this forum, so thank you! My husband and I are planning a 16 day trip to Turkey mid to late May. We are in our mid-30's and have traveled to about 30 countries, mostly before our kiddos (both under the age of 6) were born. Since we don't travel abroad much anymore, we want to make the most of our trip (kids are staying with grandparents). I know our trip may look rushed, but we're trying to do the best we can with the time we have. We're fairly active and although we enjoy beautiful beaches, we aren't the type that want to lay out on the beach for more than an hour (do activities, hike, etc., yes).
Our basic itinerary is as follows (see "general"). We've booked internal flights and two rental cars. I'm asking for your specific thoughts/recommendations on the Mediterranean portion. We have a lot of ruins on our tentative itinerary, and given what else we're doing, are wondering if we will be "ruined out" - please help us pick! There is so much to do and see, and 1) we want to be realistic with our time and 2) we'd like some "diversity" in what we do. We are interested in visiting ruins, but we're not experts (so we won't realize the nuisances other than what we've read in our guidebooks). Please see the "Coast help" section below. What recommendations do you have (specifically for ruins, but otherwise is welcome), and what do you think we can skip? Is there any place you'd recommend along our route that we should visit that we aren't considering? Many, many thanks for your feedback!

FWIW, I never got "ruined out" while in Turkey -- and I saw a LOT of ruins! YMMV.
I trust you release that 3 days is VERY little for Istanbul. You would do well to think through your priorities in advance.
I didn't see many of the places you plan to visit on the coast. I did visit Patara, and while the beach was very pretty, it gets VERY windy there -- enough that the sand bothered my eyes. I spent less than an hour, counting time for a coffee in a sheltered cafe. I did NOT see any of the ruins there, which I believe are quite spread out. So take my comments with a grain of salt!
I visited Myra both Arykanda and was glad I did. They seemed sufficiently different to me to justify seeing both, and the views from Arykanda were wonderful. That could make for a long day though -- I spent about 1 hour at Myra and about 2.5 hours at Arykanda, and would not call either visit particularly leisurely.
Turkey is a wonderful destination, and mid- to late May is a great time to see it!

I apologize if this isn't helpful, but one of the most memorable things we did in Turkey (or anywhere) was take a "blue cruise" on a gulet-- not sure if that really fits with the rest of your itinerary or interests but thought I'd mention it.
Report Abuse
Perhaps these quick pix of Turkey's hinterland will give you an idea or two. I call it "familiarization". I'll also include Istanbul in the next bunch. You're in for an adventure! Enjoy!
Report Abuse
Did you do any kind of trip report on your "blue cruise"?
If not, can I hi-jack this thread with a few questions? When did you go, time of year, etc.? What company? How fit do you need to be?
This has been on my "bucket list" for years, but now we are getting older and really slowing down. I have eliminated things like Machu Pichu from my dream sheet, but we still travel by train a lot and carry and lift all our own luggage, and walk all over cities, etc. Based on that, do you think we could do the gulet trip? Thanks.

Hi there,
You already have a nice itinerary planning. I would like to make to suggestions only. There is not an early morning flight from cappadocia to dalaman. You have to check flights over istanbul from Kayseri and nevsehir airports which are closer to cappadocia. I recommend an evening flight in the end of the activities in Cappadocia over istanbul to the coast.
alternatively, Turkish air operates direct flights from Nevsehir to Antalya. if you take that flights, you will have to reverse your itinerary and start from Antalya. with this, you can add Olympos, Chimera and a walk to Phaselis as well. Then up to Myra and the rest...
If you are able to fit those ancient cities to your time frame, do! it is better to be disappointed than regretful. You can start from the most popular ones tough, that means there is a thing attracting that much of tourists. for example, Letton saklikent Patara and arrive at the hotel. While in Pamukkale, visit Laodicea nearby and have lunch before aphrodisias so you dont sleep on the wheel to Ephesus
Most museums are open around 8:30 and if your are the first to enter, you beat crowds in popular sites like Ephesus and Pamukkale. After lunch for Aphrodisias.
happy travels,

We did Istanbul, Pamukkale and Afrodisias before getting to Antalya a couple of years back and DH absolutely refused to go to Aspendos, Perge and Side, claimed that one amphiteather looked just another, he'd had enough of ruins! Even last June when we were in the Aegean and Turkey again I had to carefully plan our trips keeping him in mind, we cut out Akotiri in Santorini, much though I regretted it. So it depends on the individual, you'll know best how much of ruins you can take.
We didn't do it but the gullet/blue cruise is said to be lovely, will make a relaxing break from sightseeing, you can even do just a day cruise if you don't have much time. That's on my wishlist for our nest visit to Turkey...
Report Abuse
The ruins at Patara were a highlight for us. You can sit in the newly restored theater where the Lycian League was founded.
We loved Fethiye. We enjoyed having lunch at the fish market. You pick out your fish and it is delivered to whichever of the surrounding restaurants you wish to dine in. They cook it for you and offer many other wonderful side dishes too.

Based on your itinerary, you will only have the 3 days in Cappadocia before arriving on the T. coast, so I wouldn't think you'd be "ruined out" at that point, but that's just my take.
General comment--agree with kja, 3 days is not enough for Istanbul. Have been there twice and, along with Paris, it's my favorite city in the world. I would add at least one extra day there to do it justice.
I spent 5 days on the T. coast and visited a # of the locations you've highlighted. My favorite of the bunch was hiking the Saklikent Gorge. Beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. I would definitely prioritize it. I spent an afternoon on Oludeniz beach. That was towards the end of my trip and so, while I'm not a huge beach guy, it was the right time in my trip to relax in the sun for a few hours. Finally, I also visited Kayakoy and found it an interesting way to spend a few hours. Of the 3 locations I mentioned, it would have been my #3 of 3 but then again, I had 5 days based in Fethiye. By the way, there are also some pretty interesting cave ruins above Fethiye town that are worth at least observing on a walk around town, if not actually visiting.

Don't want to hijack, but then I don't have too much to add (it was about 12 years ago and no trip report, sorry).
Our trip was actually out of Bodrum. I don't remember what company we used (a friend living in Istanbul at the time may have picked it). It was early October and I think that was close to the end of the season but the weather was great for us.
As I recall it was not strenuous at all, but there's a certain amount of agility required for getting on/off a boat and moving around (up/down) the boat. I would think if you are traveling by train regularly you should be fine (but given how long it's been you probably shouldn't rely too heavily on my rose colored memory).
best wishes for good travels!

I've been chiding myself for being so behind on my trip reports, and then I saw your post... We spent 6 weeks in Turkey 1 1/2 years ago, so hopefully my input is still timely. We did a mix of beach, hiking, touring ruins and generally driving a long slow loop west from Antalya along the coast, bookending the trip in Istanbul with a flight to Cappadocia after Ephesus. Hopefully this will offer opinions about your itinerary, as opposed to being a full trip report.
We visited many ruins - small, large, well-known and off the beaten path. Some of the most interesting to us were the ones a bit off the main path which were smaller, and for the most part we had them to ourselves. Letoon was the only one that was disappointing to us. We had a great morning at Pinara which is beautifully sited. The museum at Aphrodisias is astounding. Another favorite was Priene. The early morning light at Hieropolis, above Pammukale, was stunning and our visit there made up for the scene that is the travertines of Pammukale. If being surrounded by 100s of people taking multiple poses of scantily clad bodies against calcified walls is your idea of a good time that is Pammukale! Our overnight there is the only one of 6 weeks of travel that I could have cut out.
You might consider staying in Faralya, as opposed to Fethiye or Oludeniz, in order to spend a lovely day hiking over to Kabak beach. Above the beach there is a hotel/restaurant called the Olive Garden which was a great place for an al fresco lunch. We hiked to the beach, spent about an hour in the water, walked back to the Olive Garden for lunch, and then took a little bus back to Faralya. If you prefer nightlife, stay in Oludeniz and take the little bus to Faralya to begin the hike. The hike down the cliff from Faralya to Butterfly Valley looked terrifying to me. There is a boat you can take from Oludeniz. If you want to treat yourself to a little holiday from your holiday look into staying at Karia Bel outside of Bozburun, although booking a gullet will probably have the same effect. I will say that we never once saw a gullet under sail. They all motored in and out of the beaches where we stayed.
If you go like crazy you will be able to see the top attractions of Istanbul in 3 days, but you might feel short changed. We were there 3 nights at the beginning and 5 at the end.
Of all the wonderful trips I have had Turkey is my favorite. It was the perfect combination of lovely people, fabulous food, amazing sights and culture.

I forgot to mention what worked for us for our visit to Ephesus. Because we were spending the night nearby, we didn't begin our visit until about 3:30 in the afternoon, starting at the south entrance. By that time, while still crowded, it was not mobbed. We worked our way through the site and then circled back to the Terraced Houses which requires a separate ticket. It turned out that we were the last people to enter. Toward the end of our time we realized that it was just us and the guard. Hopefully you will be as lucky!

I appreciate all of you taking the time to post very much! Thanks for all of your insights on a variety of topics.
I realize that 3 full days in Istanbul is very little. We have a long wish list for next time – including time in Istanbul and a blue cruise.
A few questions re: our Fethiye/Kas area itinerary, Days 2 and 3. We were originally thinking:
Day 2:
-Hike: Faralya, Butterfly Valley, and Kabak
-Night in Fethiye (2 of 2)
Day 3
-Tlos? Pinara? Xanthos? Letoon? (Not sure if we should visit any of these given the other ruins we're visiting - or - if one, which one)
-Saklikent Gorge
-Arrive in Kas PM, overnight
1. We have a manual compact rental car – "Fiat Linea Diesel or similar" according to Budget. Any thoughts about driving it from Oludeniz to Faralya or even to Kabak? One of our guidebooks says you need a "high suspension vehicle" to make that drive. We can take a dolmus if needed, but like the convenience of being able to come and go when we please.
2. We thought about staying in Faralya or Kabak the night of Day 2, instead of returning to Fethiye, but the downside would be a later start to Day 3, as we'll have to head north anyway to start a packed day (see next question). Any thoughts of doing a second night in Fethiye vs. a night in Faralya or Kabak? If we stay in Kabak, can we drive our rental car to Kabak?
3. Our current thinking is we'll make Saklikent Gorge (no tour) and Patara our priorities that day, and probably skip Tlos or Xanthos due to lack of time (unless you think we will have time for one of these). We may even stop in Kaputas on the way to Kas, if we have time.
That would mean the ruins we visit in this area would be Patara, Kekova, Kalekoy, Myra, and Arykanda (and we'll go to Ephesus, Hieropolis, and Aphrodisias later). Are we missing out by skipping Tlos or Xanthos (we'd only do one of these if you all would recommend one)?
4. We'll be at Saklikent Gorge on May 22. Not sure what the water level would be. I've read some postings that it's a bad idea to bring your camera because you're in the water chest-level. My husband is 5 foot 7 and I'm 5 feet. Do you think it is "safe" to bring a camera this time of year with the water level (assuming we put it in zip lock bags or something)?
5. Should we hire one of the guides when we get there to help us navigate through the rough spots (because I'm short and also if we have the camera). We are fine to spring for someone, but generally prefer to be more independent.
Thanks very much in advance.

Dhay 3. Skip Letoon.

1. We drove a compact rental to Faralya, hiked to Kabak beach and then caught a dolmus back to Faralya. The road was paved the whole way. The reference to needing a high clearance vehicle may be in regards to driving all the way down to the beach. That road was a rutted dirt road that was difficult to even walk on, but the road into Kabak is paved. If you decide to stay in Kabak, ask the hotel about access.
2. As I recall, it took less than an hour to drive from Fethiye to Faralya. We preferred Faralya to Fethiye, but one is a spot on the road above the sea and the other is a harbor town of some size. Really depends on your preference, but if the main issue is to get an early start on Day 3, it would save you the 30k drive.
Note: We may have missed it, but the turn-off from Oludeniz to Faralya was not marked. We had to ask for directions. Fortunately, Oludeniz is not that big.

Not sure what Saklikent's water level is like in the spring but it probably is higher than when I was there in late summer. I'm between your height and your husband's, so a short guy also. I had my camera in a zip bag, then in my backpack. I simply lifted my backpack above my head as I waded through the river. My greater concern was dropping the camera in running water along the route as the stream runs pretty much the entire way of the hike and at times, you must climb over slippery rocks on the trail. In the end, I hiked roughly 60-90 minutes in, and then of course back for a total of about 2 1/2 hours hiking. What I would do would be to bring a second camera card and swap that one out for your primary card that day of your hike. I would think your husband should be able to keep your packs above his head wading through the stream, and then just be careful hiking through the gorge. But I loved Saklikent-it was probably my favorite thing on the T. coast.

1. Fiat Linea Diesel has low ground clearance and is rather under-powered. Prefer a Renault or Ford if you have a choice.
2.Night at Fethiye will give you options to walk around and choices of good watering holes and eateries. You can find Fethiye as romantic as Faralya or Kabak after visiting any of those locations, especially if you're staying at Ece or similar with a view.
3. Tlos will be on your way to Saklikent. Xanthos would require that you backtrack. I prefer Tlos but others have liked Xanthos more.
Patara will give you ruins and beach so you can give a miss to kaputas.
4. It always helps to protect your camera, AND yourself. We have had a very wet Winter this year, so the water is bound to be high and rushing fast.
5. You will definitely need a guide for the canyon in the Spring. And, if he tells you that you go only half way or that you should return after a certain distance you should do what he says. There were some unfortunate accidents in the past years with people who had no guides.
Other ideas :
- Letoon requires a longish drive from Xanthos and has a very private large beach with noone in sight not too far away. You will not have time for it even if Leto's eternal frogs attract you.
- Fethiye has a nice small central district called "Passpatur" where you will get very good "Pide", somewhat like a pizza without the sauce.
- Visit Villa Rhapsody at Kayakoy and say Hi to my friends if you find interesting the deserted large Greek village which was the subject of a good but sad popular novel.

This octagonal structure is Ireland's only surviving standalone baptistry. It covers an underground spring which leads to an open air body of water called St Catherine's Pond. It is located on the grounds of St Dowlagh's Church which has the oldest stone-roofed church in Ireland that's still in use today. The oldest part of the church is medieval and dates from the 12th century but Christian activity here dates back to the time of St. Patrick and is believed to have been the site of a small monastic settlement. Very little is known of St Doulagh but it is believed that he lived in the early 7th century and was a hermit. It is said that he lived isolated, in a cell attached to the church, and had had only minimal contact with the outside world. This type of lifestyle was known as anchoritsm and was a feature of the early Christian churches in Ireland and in the Middle East.

Chris Martin pays tribute to Leonard Cohen as Coldplay return to London stage
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin paid a moving musical tribute to Leonard Cohen and spoke of how the poet and songwriter changed his life as the band played a homecoming gig.
In an encore on stage at the London Palladium, Martin appeared alone with his guitar to perform Cohen's song Suzanne, dedicating it to "absent friends".
Afterwards he said: "Sending my love to Mr Leonard Cohen for those amazing songs, you changed my life. "
The death of Cohen at the age of 82 was announced earlier on Friday.
Earlier on in the show, which was broadcast live on Absolute Radio, Martin said how good it felt for the band to be "back in our homeland" and he appeared to make a reference to the US election.
He said: "I know for some this week has been a strange one but if it proves anything, it's you can achieve your goals. The universe works in strange ways.
"It's all of our world and we can do anything we can to make it a better and fairer place."
Martin danced around a stage adorned with floral garlands with a large Union flag hanging out of the back pocket of his jeans and reassured the crowd: "The world is going to be okay, don't worry."
The band performed a string of hits including The Scientist, Viva La Vida, Clocks, Paradise and Fix You and Martin dedicated Everglow to his goddaughter Tilly, who was at the show with her father, the Star Trek star Simon Pegg.

ONE punter is willing to bet Port Adelaide will lose to Greater Western Sydney - and he will pocket $108,000 if the Giants get up.
Port coach Matthew Primus won't want to think about the consequences if Port fails against GWS at Skoda Stadium tomorrow, as it did first up to Gold Coast at AAMI Stadium last year.
Betting agency Sportingbet has accepted a punter's wish to have $12,000 on the Giants to beat Port head-to-head at $8 for a $96,000 collect. He also has placed a further $6000 on Kevin Sheedy's novices with a 44.5-point start for a $12,000 return.
Primus does not want to consider the consequences of defeat tomorrow when former Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams and players Chad Cornes, Dean Brogan and Jon Giles turn from friends to foes as Giants.
"It would not leave a good taste in our mouths,'' said Primus yesterday of the prospect of losing to GWS. "But we're not even entertaining that thought.''

Hotel and breakfast
Hotel quite tired but clean and warm.
however the brekfast was extremly poor and almost uneatable. black pudding was rock hard, bacon swimming in water. during the time we were in there no-one came out of the kitchen to complain to. We may stay at the hotel again but we would not have the breakfast even if it was free i felt robbed having to pay for it.

A tired hotel but clean and comfortable
I'm quite fussy but I only needed a single room to sleep and be safe in overnight as I was working at the NEC.
Booked for £37, plus £7.50 for a full English breakfast.
I didn't need posh, so this was perfect. Great for people going to the airport or working. Clean, functional. Outside really isnt a good view. All the render is grey and uninviting, which worried me. Carpets in reception are threadbare almost, but the important bit is that the place was clean. Staff friendly, food hot, bed comfortable, shower hot.

If desperate for cheap accommodation
The hotel needs refurbishing or demolishing, but as it must have been acquired by a large hotel chain and no other hotel in the area provides budget hotel prices it still must be viable to keep it operating with such low standards.
I can only assume that the hotel scrapes a pass when it comes to a facilities inspection from local authorities to keep going. If you are on a budget and a hotel nearby is offering a slightly higher rate; then it is worth the expense for a decent and comfortable nights sleep, along with a reassuring better standard of food.

Really Poor
High vis vested workers with feet up on coffee tables in the foyer.
No ambiance.....just functional and cheep. No wifi in the rooms...just around the foyer. Dirty carpet in the room with clumps of hair. Tv in room is tiny with poor picture and few channels.

McArthur - Play with no fear
Wigan Athletic midfielder James McArthur has urged his team-mates to play with no fear for the rest of the season.
Last Updated: 09/04/12 4:06pm
Wigan Athletic midfielder James McArthur has urged his team-mates to play with no fear for the rest of the season after their battling display against Chelsea.
Latics manager Roberto Martinez was incensed with the referee who he felt made a couple of huge blunders as they lost 2-1.
It is a result that leaves Wigan second bottom as they prepare to face Manchester United on Wednesday.
Wigan, however, were excellent in defeat and the Scotland international believes if they can maintain that level of performance they can beat the drop.
"I think that so long as we keep producing these performances, the points will come," McArthur told the Evening Post.
"We've been fantastic in the last seven or eight games, and were so unlucky at Stamford Bridge not to get another result.
"It was a tough afternoon, but I thought we played well once again. We've conceded two goals that appear to have been offside."
He added: "But we won't let it get to us - we didn't let their opener get to us and went on to get a deserved equaliser.
"The last goal was so disappointing having done so well, but we'll dust ourselves down and get ready for Manchester United.
"They're a fantastic side who are top of the table because they win games, but we'll be looking to impose ourselves on the game and we'll certainly not play with any fear."

Paranoia is the real poison to fear, not anthrax
WHEN has it been easier to scare ourselves with geopolitical nightmares? Not since the worst moments of the Cold War, certainly.
Instead of Portugal and Italy "going Communist" and a lightning attack by the Red Army across the Rhine, today we can shudder at Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan falling to militants, followed by the collapse of the global oil-based prosperity engine.
At home, too, we can easily conjure up the road to perdition. Muslim protests in the Midlands turn violent; after pro-Taliban riots, mosques are burnt . . . and the whole delicate, optimistic structure of multi-cultural Britain goes up in smoke.
We should, I suggest, be chary of the nattering Nostradamus in all of us; we have no idea what comes next. But it's all a bit too easy, this under-the-duvet pessimism.
The most insidious effect of terrorism is that it can seize the free imagination and occupy it with the blood-streaked, doom-laden fantasies of the terrorists and their controllers.
Their real poison isn't anthrax; it's paranoia. In such circumstances, the most potent antidote is an even-tempered optimism. But how do you get hold of that stuff? Supplies are dwindling daily.
I'M NOT that worked up about anthrax anyway. First, it seems fairly hard to spread, although colleagues suggest the terrorists have simply been clumsy in choosing their targets.
There are apparently various louche newspapers and even youth-orientated sections of the BBC where any suspicious white powder sent anonymously by post would be immediately cut into lines and inhaled.
More to the point, I spent my childhood holidays very close to Gruinard, alias "Anthrax Island", where Churchill authorised tests of biological weapons.
I grew up assuming that the release of anthrax would create a medieval-style plague, rolling across the West. And now it seems rather limited. Where others are gripped by an icy terror, I feel mainly relief.
THE Commons still matters and it's good to have it back. I can't remember MPs milling about quite as garrulously as they are now since - well, since the John Major years. All sorts of dark and interesting rumours are washing around.
The chamber itself is meant to be meaningless, but that isn't true, either. Stephen Byers entered it on Monday in deep trouble over Railtrack and walked out free - partly thanks to an unfortunate performance by the Tory transport spokesman, Eric Pickles.
The latter did his best, but his revelation that Byers was the worst news for the rail system "since Dr Beecham" pretty much finished the attack. Maybe he, too, had his mind on lethal powders.
Tony Blair will presumably be attending the regular Commons session there today (oops, sorry, another BBC security lapse). Generally, he is much criticised for not spending enough time on parliamentary business.
This may be justified, but I was much struck by Lloyd George's behaviour, as recounted in Roy Jenkins's new biography of Churchill. During the 1918-19 Paris peace conference, the Welsh Wizard apparently hardly bothered with either Cabinet or Commons: "He went a full year without attending Prime Minister's Questions."
I hope that Jenkins isn't giving that Blair ideas again.
IT is, as others have mentioned, a glorious biography, full of grand cru Woy wit and, of course, the over-proof intoxication of Churchill's own language.
Some printer's ink has been wasted on the question of whether Blair is more like Churchill or Gladstone. In fact, as the Jenkins book reminds us, Churchill was a vastly more exuberant, self-parodying character than today's sober, controlled Prime Minister.
Take his letter about his friend F E Smith, then going through a period of relative abstinence and brilliantly dismissed by WSC: "Rather morose - vy ambitious. Terrible results of intemperate self-restraint."
More Boris Johnson, I'd have thought, than TB.

A Few Thoughts about JHS
The new Joplin High is enormous and quite impressive, but for the Class of '63, JHS will always be a buff-brick school at the very corner of 20th and Indiana, a beautiful mini-forest of shade trees gracing the north end of A-Hall and B-Hall. We sometimes sat under those trees when it was too hot to stay inside (no air conditioning then), and we watched them reflect the changing seasons from year to year. We graduated in our own auditorium—the place where we had attended dozens of assemblies, staged plays, and performed in concerts.
Our school was blown away one Sunday afternoon, and we were amazed by how deeply we felt its loss. How many of us have a brick we retrieved from the rubble? Mine is in a bookcase in my office. Our JHS isn't really gone, though. It resides in our memories, looking just as it did when we walked the halls, congregated in the Student Lounge, ate the cafeteria chili, studied in the library, and reported to the office from time to time, willingly or not. It still belongs to us.
In the history of JHS, though, we aren't the only alumni whose school changed locations to occupy a new building. The moves weren't dramatic or traumatic, but since 1890, JHS has been all over town, literally, beginning in a three-story school at 4th and Jackson. That brick building is long gone, the site now the location of the Red Cross office. Seven years later, JHS moved to 4th and Byers. In 1918, the Eagles flew to another new nest at 8th and Wall, where they remained until the fall of 1958 when our JHS opened its doors. We arrived as sophomores two years later, and the rest, as they say … well, we all remember the rest! And we won't be forgetting it—or one another—any time soon.
It's remarkable to me that the Class of '63 has remained in such close contact all these years. This site is the newest way that is being achieved. Let's make the most of it. Take a few minutes every so often and post something on the page—where you are, where you've been, what you're doing, a favorite memory, or some family news. Okay, I'll go first.
After teaching language arts at JHS for twenty-nine years, I retired, but not really. (I've heard that our generation can't seem to stop working!) Since then I've taught high school in Kansas and in Las Vegas, and I now work on line for a scholastic web site and publishing company based in Seattle. I love the job, and it's great to work at home. Where else can you work in your pajamas? Now it's your turn. Post something on our page, and let's stay in touch!

Take a look at our class website. In the CLASSMATE PROFILE section you can tell us a little about yourself including pics and bio or just random thoughts. Check out the photos and videos from our last class reunions and we have included a section on our new high school. The CLASSMATE PROFILE is a complete list (we hope) of our classmates. We may not have complete or correct information. If not please feel free to fill in the missing information including e-mail address.

Messages from Lebanon
The following messages were passed to us from Pax Christi. They were received from a Pax Christi volunteer who is now stuck in Lebanon. Roula is a young Palestinian student who has lived all of her life in Lebanon until she came to the UK to study International Law. She returned in June for a family reunion and is now stranded there. She is happy for us to share her very personal messages which give us a glimpse of life for ordinary people at this worrying time. 14th July 2006, Sidon, Lebanon Dear Pat Yes I am in Lebanon, due to be back to London on 24 July, but now God knows when. My family is fine, physically, no gun shot in our neighbourhood. The city we live in Sidon (known as Saida) is not a Shia city, people here are against Hizbullah, unlike Dahieh in Beirut (adjacent to the airport and hosts most Hizbullah leaders and supporters). Problems appear on a different level: Israel bombed all bridges south and north, we can physically move three kilometres south and three kilometres north. Banks closed suddenly and ATM cash machines are not working, so no cash money and bankcards can be used in only one supermarket (something like Sainsbury's). Yesterday my parents went to buy food supplies. To give you an example, there were only two small cans of tomato sauce on the sauces section. No more pasta. No electricity, mobile phones hardly work, internet only occasionally. We have private motor for electricity, but no oil anymore in the city, so we are operating on reserves. Everything happened so fast and so strong. Maybe you heard that the airport has been bombed several times, Lebanese airplanes are now in Amman. Two nights ago Israeli barges bombed the runways, but yesterday bombed the oil reserves, still fire till now, and few hours ago shelled down more bombs. This is the only airport in the country, the two other small airports they talk about in the news used to be small military airports but abandoned and unused for decades as far as I know. I cannot go to Damascus- Syria then take plane because roads have been bombed yesterday. I cannot go to Larnaca - Cyprus because of Israeli barges in the sea. We sleep on bombings and airplane sound and wake up similarly. Pat in the time lived in London I forgot how psychologically deal with such situations. Now I worry more, now I have more to lose; now I can more see, feel and understand the uselessness and destructive effect of violence. My little sister, who is going to USA to study, is due to go to New York on 6 August. We don't know what will happen now. Dad is working in a project for UNRWA in Tyre (Sour in Arabic), this is an area south of Sidon where we live and the entire road there is bombed. He was supposed to go collect a cheque of payment for himself, colleagues, and workers and building material supplies on Monday, he went then but the cheque was not ready, Tuesday the bombing started still he went but they said wait till tomorrow. At 9pm the bridges connecting Beirut were totally, totally destroyed. Things are going from bad to worst. Escalation seems to be with no red borders. I don't know what more is going to happen. The world is blatantly with Israel on that, most people here are against Hizbullah but what people can do. The internal media and analysts say that Hizbullah (i.e. Iran) caused this for private interests that don't serve the country. God help us; hope things will be better now. Roula. 16th July 2006 Pat, each day is harder from the previous. An hour ago Israeli planes threw leaflets, by the time my brothers went to the street to get a copy there was none. But from the people it a warning that Saida will be bombed, and people should move away from locations that relate directly or indirectly to Hizbullah. For God's sake Pat how are people supposed to know that their neighbours work for Hizbullah or not. I understand if there is a certain official office for Hizbullah, people would know and move away and again move away to where!? The situation is awful, there are no phones most of the time, and no charging cards to put credit on the mobiles to call when coverage exists. We cannot call to check on my sister, or call hospital... It is only the city of Saida, where we live, that has not been bombed so far, after those leaflets it is a clear message that things will be horrible. The first leaflets thrown was general, a statement that this campaign is against Hizbullah and something like people should not help them, but the new leaflets are different. Needless to say that we still go to bed with the sound of planes and bombardment Some nights we sleep for few hours other we don't. I share the bedroom with my sister Samah (12), and Ola (22) shares with Rima (16)... me and Ola almost don't sleep because I am afraid bombing will start while the younger is sleeping and will wake up terrified and get ill. Hamzeh the youngest (his birthday is today becomes 9) doesn't sleep, and we keep him company. And of course there is Omar (19) and Ahmad (29) came from Dubai on Wednesday to get married. Suha the married sister stays at our house with her 3 kids and her husbands comes at night to take them home so she doesn't have to stay alone with 3 little kids, the youngest only 1yr old. By the way we haven't been together all at home for more than four years. I thought this was a good thing, but it seems to be a bad omen. Hamzeh my youngest brother says that we should eat very little because we have to keep the food, otherwise we won't have food. The older kids at home spent our childhood in similar situation throughout until around 2000. By the way there were never civilian airplanes beyond Beirut from the southern entrance, so the only sound from the sky that the city I live in hear is the Israeli military airplanes. Sorry I forgot to thank you for your email. All members of my family send their greetings and gratitude for you and all in Pax Christi . Yes please keep us in your prayers. Will write to you another email when I can. Hope to have better news next time Take care Roula Source: Pax Christi

Winner of Cinematography at the Sundance film festival (2015), this is a story of a young boy raised from birth to be a hitman who starts to awaken his moral compass.
Directed by Melbourne's rising film gun Ariel Kleiman in his first feature film, Kleiman's inspiration for the film came from a chilling article he read on child assassins in Columbia.
Gregori (Vincent Cassel) is Father, King and Chief Commander to the women and children of his commune. Training his children in various survival skills he believes are necessary for surviving in this world he truly hates, he takes control of their education, preparing them for murders and other violent events, where if successful, he rewards them with karaoke and other "gold-star" nights.
Told through the eyes of a young 11-year-old boy Alexander (Jeremy Chabriel), you sense an innocent child completely blinkered by reality. The audience sees no outside world, other than when Alexander goes on assassination missions, reflecting the magnitude of his blinkered reality.
The villain, Gregori, is not demonized. He is portrayed as both good and bad. So much of Gregori's actions come from a place of love. His motivations are paternal. He wants to be the dad to his kids. He wants to give his kids everything he never had.
The film takes place in an unnamed, decaying compound with surreal, ethereal-like lighting. There are constant greys and grimy locations helping develop the films sense of isolation and rawness. The intimate moments between Greogri and Alexander are captured beautifully by drifting camera work, long takes, little cutting and slow pacing.
This is a tragic film where young kids are not allowed to see the world through optimistic eyes. Perhaps this film is a harrowing reminder that the souls of children are precious and easily led astray by bad people.

In my post titled Build a Photography Business in 24 Hours, I mentioned that I would expand on each piece of the puzzle for creating your own business. I'm using my recent experience with setting up Auer Photoworks as the basis for this guide. Here are all the pieces of the business-puzzle I talked about (with the * items being optional):
- Photographs
- Gallery Software
- Hosting Company
- Domain Name
- Trade Name
- Bank
- $500
- * Merchant Account
- * Accounting
- * Marketing
This post will focus on step 3 of the critical items: Hosting Company. Your web host will provide you with the real estate of the web — disk space with a connection. This is where you'll setup your storefront (gallery software) to sell your goods (photographs). You pay rent on that space just like any other real estate, but it's a lot cheaper than a piece of land.
Choosing a hosting company is very important and it can be stressful. You don't usually want to jump around from host to host because it will result in a lot of downtime for your business, not to mention it's a real pain in the butt. I've only switched once in over 5 years of using web hosts. You need to do your research up front and don't settle for something you don't absolutely want. The research can be frustrating because no two reviewers will rank the same web hosts in the same order of preference — and that's why I'm not going to give you a link to any host reviews. Do a quick search for "web host review" and you'll have plenty of stuff to sort through. That's a good way to get a list of hosts that are out there, but read the reviews with a grain of salt.
Once you get a list of possible hosts together, you'll want to start weeding them out based on some criteria. The first set of criteria comes from your gallery software. The software will have a set of minimum requirements that it needs to function properly such as the PHP version, graphics libraries, database support, and UNIX vs Windows. Most (if not all) hosts provide PHP, but some offer PHP 4.X.X and others offer PHP 5.X.X. Most of them also have SQL support, but some hosts limit your usage in one way or another. When it comes to operating systems, it usually doesn't matter unless your gallery software specifically requires one or the other.
After you size down your list based on your gallery software requirements, you'll want to take a look at the secondary requirements. This includes things like reliability, bandwidth, disk space, email, control panel, support, price, CGI, SSL, FTP, etc. There's a huge list of things to look at, so I've found a couple of sites that give explanation to these things: The Site Wizard, Thomas Brunt's Outfront, and Free Webmaster Help.
I would place things like reliability and support higher in priority than disk space or price. It's such a competitive market that most web hosts are pretty cheap and offer more than enough disk space. While you're checking out these hosts, you'll notice that they offer different levels of service. They usually range from shared server to virtual dedicated servers to dedicated servers. As a start-up business, you're not going to see enough traffic to need a dedicated server. Start cheap and get your feet wet — you can always upgrade later, and if you stay with the same host they'll usually take care of you. Expect to pay about $10 to $20 per month for a host. Go much lower than that and you might be skimping out in the wrong places. And whatever you do, don't get a free host — it's not very professional and you're not doing yourself any favors.
I use a hosting company called Host Gator. I pay $10/month for 100GB of space, 1000GB of bandwidth, unlimited domains, unlimited MySQL databases, and it supports my gallery requirements for PHP and the imaging libraries. I host 4 websites from the same space: this blog, Auer PhotoWorks, my family site, and a future development already in progress. I don't have enough traffic to require a dedicated server, so I'll enjoy the low fees for the time being.
Now that we have our photos in order, our gallery software, and a web host, we'll need a domain name. Tomorrow I'll talk about how to pick and where to get a domain name — your Internet address.

Some great tips. There are tons of great deals out there these daysApril 30, 2008 12:27 pm
I couldn't say it better myself. This is excellent for someone new to creating a website and needing web hosting. I will definitely recommend this to people I know that are looking at getting into this.June 1, 2008 3:57 pm
Great article. Im guessing you have been through tons of hosts in your day because you seem to know what you are talking about. This is a good guide on what to look for in a web host!June 14, 2008 3:04 pm
I think you explained the concept of web hosting really well with "Your web host will provide you with the real estate of the web — disk space with a connection". Ive been trying to figure out a good way to explain it to a layman…this is pretty clear cutJune 28, 2008 7:03 pm
$10-20 is def a good target range to look for when finding a good web host. I also recommend checking out reviews of the company at http://www.webhostingtalk.com. If the company exists, they will be there.July 15, 2008 6:56 pm
Some things that I thinkg are important when choosing a web host are:
* Stable operating system installed on the web hosting server ( Red Hat Enterprise Linux);
* Multifunction user control panel;
* Feature-rich account control panel, such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin
* Money-back guarantees
* Availability of technical support
* Additional full-time or part-time phone support for free
* Multiply domains hosting on one account
* Some benefits for free that come with web hosting accounts – free domain name registration, free SSL certificate for e-store, e-commerce solutions and free site builder software
* Account trials
You have some of these already stated Brian but I thought I would add what I think mine are personally as well.August 26, 2008 1:16 pm
well my choice was simple since i was looking for a server to host my clinets pages i found the most reliable server provider in my area. cost was double however it was wrth it at the bottom endOctober 13, 2008 2:03 pm

"The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else." – Martina Navratilova, Tennis Star
A prevailing tendency in American jazz programs is competing against other ensembles at educational festivals, despite the quiet controversy that surrounds this activity. Since creativity is so subjective, many find it futile to present it in a competitive domain. As you admire Michelangelo's David and Rodin's The Thinker, imagine choosing which sculpture is better. On the other hand, our lives have been forever changed by many great works of art and inventions that won competitions, and by others that did not. The fact of the matter is this; competition can be a motivator. It has pervaded every corner of our society as we compete for jobs, promotions, contracts and accounts. But regardless of the results, we must maintain a realistic impression of our self-worth. This also applies to how we run our school jazz programs. Given the attention we get from administrators for winning, it is understandable that most directors want to decorate their band rooms with trophies.
Educational jazz festival participation provides valuable insights about your band's progress, but only if you and your students maintain a balanced perspective about competition. Sports performance consultant, Dr. Alan Goldberg, has this to say about student perspective: "They don't have any!" Most high school students have yet to develop objectivity about big games or important performances; their perception of success and failure is skewed by what happens in the moment, with little understanding of the "big picture". Let's explore the experience from several viewpoints:
The Festival Coordinator
The quality of an educational jazz festival is contingent upon the vetting and hiring of experienced adjudicators, which need to be booked far in advance. So, the most important task for the festival coordinator is to evaluate the evaluators! First of all, great musicians do not always make great clinicians. A quality adjudicator is open-minded, has a thorough understanding of a wide variety of musical styles, and a realistic idea of what to expect from students at various ages and ability levels. Make sure the festival host has engaged the services of a clinician who will humanize the evaluation process by identifying positive aspects of the performance and making suggestions for improvement.
After three decades of adjudicating jazz festivals, I notice that developing jazz musicians still make the same mistakes, and clinicians still offer the same comments on their recordings and ratings sheets. This phenomenon will continue because secondary school students are in the midst of a learning process. By way of a math analogy, these students are adding and subtracting. If the adjudicator is expecting calculus, the fault lies with the festival coordinator for hiring someone unfamiliar with the abilities of developing musicians.
The Director
While competitive jazz festivals are certainly worthwhile, they should not be the sole reason our programs exist. Some educators teach their students to play jazz music. Others may think they are teaching the art form, but they are actually showing their students how to win contests. This is similar to academic instructors who are tasked with teaching students how to take standardized tests.
Jazz festivals are a microcosm of life. The competitive aspect provides us with a heightened impetus to improve our skills. But with thoughtful mental preparedness, your band members can feel good about an excellent festival performance whether they win or not. Inform your students that adjudicators' comments or rankings are subjective. At one festival, the judges may praise you for programming modern, innovative charts – and you win. But when you perform the identical music at the next festival, an adjudicator deducts programming points because you didn't include a Basie-style chart. This brings us to another oddity of music festivals – the point score. What makes a band score one-third of a point lower than the winning band? Most judges mentally rank the bands, and then configure the points in each category to support their opinions.
If a competitive mindset dominates your jazz program, pedagogic goals designed to foster individual and collective success can give way to strategies designed to avoid failure. A good example would be a director who instructs his student to play a memorized or written solo so the judges won't hear wrong notes. This tactic is well known to adjudicators, most of who assign higher ratings in the solo category for improvised solos – even if we hear a few major 7ths on dominant chords.
Hyper-competitive programs are not always consciously planned, but rather they evolve over time. After a few festival wins, it is easy to start organizing the band's activities so as to fabricate success. But when directors participate in smaller festivals they know they can win, or university ensembles compete against community college groups, these hollow victories create a skewed sense of accomplishment. A rude awakening awaits these individuals if they transition to the unprotected environment of the professional world.
The Students
In 2004, an upstate New York music educator spoke at a panel discussion about competition in music. He revealed some interesting facts about a study he conducted the previous year:
School 'A' had a director who meticulously prepared his jazz band for three competitive jazz festivals each year. The students worked tirelessly on their music, participated in required and ad hoc sectional rehearsals. No stone was left unturned in their preparation to compete. They rarely returned home with anything but first place trophies.
School 'B' had a director who taught his students about jazz. The jazz band experience included instruction in jazz theory, improvisation, jazz history and critical listening. The band usually placed at competitive jazz festivals, but rarely won.
In the subsequent two years, seven students from these two schools applied to collegiate jazz studies programs. Six were accepted and four of them were offered scholarships. They were all from School 'B'. The micro goal of winning trophies was achieved by School 'A', while the macro goal of developing functioning musicians was not.
So where do we go from here? If your ensemble presents a great performance at a competitive festival, but takes second place, your students should still feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Whether they can feel good about themselves without a first place trophy depends on the extent to which you have created an environment with well-placed priorities that lead to better musicianship. And when you win, celebrate the experience knowing that you and your students have really learned about the art form of jazz, thus giving that award some genuine meaning.
If you remain concerned that your administrators will only respond to the trophies you accumulate, here is a way to justify the true value of your jazz program: Compile a "Where are they now?" list of former students who have succeeded in their respective collegiate jazz programs, teaching positions, and professional performance activities. Share your findings with your administrator, who is probably expected to provide his/her superiors with evidence of student learning outcomes.

text: My old thread was too broad. So I narrowed it down to two bands. Radiohead and Muse are two of the biggest rock bands in the world. Which of these two bands do you think are better? Many people say Muse is a ripoff of Radiohead. What do you guys think? I personally like both bands but I think Radiohead is better.

Just got back from Chung Sing in Ardmore. Terrible food, served somewhere between lukewarm and cold. Place was deserted and the decor/cutlery hasn't changed since the 70's. But you know what? I loved it!
The service was attentive, the tables and napkins were clean, they had lots of non-meat options (a rarity for the 'burbs) and everything was ridiculously cheap*. I prefer it to Sang Kee and most of the places in Chinatown. It's like one of those black and white horror movies, where the acting and script are terrible but they're entertaining regardless. I guess Chung Sing is the Plan Nine From Outer Space of chow.
These places don't get any due on chowhound, someone mentioned the carrot cake at Genuardi's and the coffee at WaWa's but those don't count because they're not 'bad', they're just non-foodie. I wanna know where you go that's bad but you love and visit regardless.
Basically, what's your Chung Sing?
*How ridiculously cheap? Last night I ate at Pure Food and Wine in NYC, where the appetizers cost on average $17. At Chung Sing, $6.50 got me a big bowl of fried breadsticks, soup, a spring roll, chow mein, fried rice and ice cream for dessert. That's pretty ridiculous.
