Samaraaweera or Jayawardene for that matter have really not been tested in this partnership. Jayawardene has batted well though.

I think both played a bit slower then i thought...they should have played a but more aggressively...
Be VERY AFRIDI!!
I keep commentary on mute while watching international games. I concetrate far better watching games like this.
^ Don't know if that's pointing towards the posts......
Anyhow, I like commentary, it keeps reminding me that after all its a sport......
Thorougly unimpressed with Smith's bowling changes throughout this match.

my god its like SA is trying to chase 330+, how many short wide balls can they send down in a single 50 over innings.
For as long as there is limited overs cricket - of ten, twenty or fifty overs - there will remain the Sri Lankan spinners' mid-innings choke
I feel like kicking my own ass... in my fantasy team i picked Smith over Dilshan and Umar Akmal over Jayawardene... lol
I wasn't pointing towards you Faisal.
Any ways, don't think Sri Lanka will get 330. South African death bowling is good. Still a good total though.
Steyn not bowling his full 10 is criminal.
WTF Graeme?
Parnell and Styen bowled very well, but only time will tell if it was a little too late........
SL has the bowling to contain SA.....i think it all depends on how the SA get going in the chase...the first 10-15 overs will decide the game....

Live show: Warframe (PS4) | |
6:00 PM on 12.13.2013 | Coming Up! |
It's tough to feel the need to upgrade to a "next-gen" version of a game when so many of them are practically identical to the product you already bought. Though some PS4 and Xbox One titles have drastic differences like a va...

Gaming is graced with some amazing original songs and scores every year, and 2013 was no exception. From The Last of Us to Tomb Raider, Ni No Kuni to Super Mario 3D World, and everything in between, our ears were just as blessed as our eyes and fingers this year, and I'm not even sure I could pick my favorite if I tried!

[All week long we'll be asking for your thoughts on certain topics related to the year in gaming!]
2013 added some amazing new characters to our medium, but it also brought with it some serious stinkers. Annoying (and unwanted) co-op sidekicks, painful reimaginings of fan favorites from generations past, MERLENDERL -- the list goes on.
The object of my personal disaffection had to be Carver from Dead Space 3. The simple addition of an optional co-op character to one of my favorite horror series didn't turn out to be the harbinger I had worried it would be, but the design of said character couldn't have been much worse if they actively tried. Loud, brash, and full of the same grating military-FPS bravado I play games like Dead Space to avoid, I cringed every time Carver popped up on screen and the game didn't let me put a Plasma Cutter shot through his one good eye.

2013 was absolutely ripe with juicy new characters in the realm of gaming. Badass '80s action heroes, hilarious narrators, endearing psychopaths, robot dogs, annoyingly philosophical trans-dimensional twins, ass-kicking little girls, and a little dude with a lamp hanging from his nose barely scratch the surface as to the eclectic selection or protagonists and NPCs on display this year.
My personal favorite has to be Rex Colt from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. His cheesy dialog and banter was straight out of the best (worst?) '80s action movies, and was a far cry (HAR HAR) from the usual FPS protagonist.

view full story + commentsIt's been an embarrassingly long time coming, but we finally managed to pull ourselves together for a news-focused podcast. We're calling it Hardline. (That sounds vaguely newsy, right?) To be clear, this is not a replacement for Podtoid -- expect news on its return in the near future.
Instead, Hardline is a casual hour-long discussion of the week's gaming news, recorded live on Wednesdays at 11:00am Pacific via Twitch and released after the fact on YouTube and on iTunes in an audio-only version. If you were a fan of Office Chat on YouTube, it's like that, only longer, and we'll be chatting with Destructoid Huge members. The regular cast is going to be Hamza Aziz, Dale North, Steven Hansen, and myself, though travel and otherwise busy schedules will have us rotating in other familiar faces. Special thanks also goes out to Bill Zoeker, our producer.
Thanksgiving threw off our production schedule, so please note that this debut episode covers last week's stuff. But there's plenty of weird tangents as well as discussion of our Game of the Year deliberations in there too. We also have a bonus pilot episode in the feeds below.
For the audio-only debut episode of Hardline, you can subscribe on iTunes and RSS, or download directly.

[Teenage Pokemon is about that awkward phase between cute and cool, 1st and 3rd, young and old.]
It's common to hear that a new videogame "pushes boundaries". To break the rules, pave new ground, to break down the existing barriers between the player and the game -- some take it as a given that these are all inherently good things for a game to do. David Cage seems to think so. That's why he works so hard to use techniques not normally used in games to try to elicit "real emotional responses" in players. The developers of Pokemon X/Y seem to think so too. That's why they put so much stuff in their game designed to make the player feel physically and emotionally connected to the Pokemon world -- to break down the walls that separate us from the characters on the other side of the screen.
Over the past few years, we've seen internet cartoons about videogame characters see success for breaking their own set of barriers. Defying concepts of "good taste" and "acceptable behavior" are often seen as selling points for modern animation. Show videogame characters behaving like people do when they're playing videogames, and you've likely got a hit on your hands, especially if you show them hurting each other, getting horny, or both. Not only does it come off as edgy and rebellious, but it makes the viewer feel like the in-game avatars they've been inhabiting all these years really are them. Feed the audience's narcissism, and they will feel close to you and the thing that you made. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book.
But how close and intimate to we really want to get to our videogames? Do we want to get so close to them that we can smell them? Where is the line between "edgy" and "disgusting"? Explore these questions and more in a very special, very spiritual episode of Teenage Pokemon.
view full story + commentsThank goodness November is finally over. It was a hectic month -- that will go down in gaming history as one of the greatest ever -- thanks, in no part, to the launch of two brand spanking new consoles from both Sony and Microsoft.
There was also the usual flood of major releases primed for the holiday madness like Tearaway, Forza Motorsport 5, Killzone: Shadow Fall, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Call of Duty: Ghosts.
But more importantly there was one title that grabbed the attention of the Destructoid staff more than any other game this month and perhaps is just the kick a certain Nintendo console needs to sell like hotcakes this winter season.

view full story + commentsLast Sunday on Sup Holmes (now on iTunes) we were treated to company of Cristina Vee, voice actress for League of Legends, BlazBlue, Tekken: Blood Vengence, Skullgirls, Pokemon Origins and many other games and animated films. She is utterly charming, almost to the point of inducing speechlessness.
On one hand you have her compelling underdog story -- learning to overcome shyness through discovering anime and its surrounding fan community, getting discovered online for singing anime theme songs, getting her first job in the industry as a teenager, and finally making it to the success she's found today. On the other hand, you have her personality -- a mix of wit, shyness, and slightly unhinged creativity. Over the course of the show she became Pokemon Cubone, sang about Rainicorns, and auditioned with me for the role of Marie Rose, the new Dead or Alive fighter. I made up lines for her to read on the spot about bunk beds and Burger King for her to read in-character. Her performance was flawless. Tecmo Koei would do well to sign her for the roll ASAP.
We also talked about what it's like to be typecast, the growing attention that games are getting from Hollywood actors, what its like to to do voice acting for perverts and sex secenes, and so much more. Thanks again to Cristina for appearing on the show, and please tune in tomorrow at 1pm PST/4pm EST when we kick off Adult Swimbemer with Soundodger+'s Michael Molinari.
view full story + commentsIf you didn't know, November 30 is St. Andrew's Day in Scotland. He's the patron saint of this fair land (along with Russia and Greece apparently) so with some semblance of national pride, I decided to look throughout the annals of videogaming history to see if there were any standout figures. Sadly, Jamie "Challenge Scot" McGinn didn't make the cut due to me being unable to accept that anything good has ever come from East Kilbride apart from The Jesus And Mary Chain.
Whilst there weren't exactly a lot of characters to choose from, I did come up with an interesting list. I decided to forgo the most well known characters from licensed games, meaning there's no Shrek, Fat Bastard (thanks again Mike Myers), Groundskeeper Willie or Scotty from Star Trek. So with that, down your whiskey [Joked to myself I'd change all the Scottish spellings and then he goes and spells 'whisky' like a Yank! - Ed.] and let's get into the list.

Early in the week we brought you an exhaustive list of the only games you should buy. Seriously. If it wasn't on that list, there is absolutely zero point to owning it ever and your loved ones will hate you for getting them an off-brand, off-list game.
Just a seething, percolating hate that will end in violence next holiday when you're drunkenly pushed into an armoire by your aunt who sure as heck didn't want a copy of BioShock Infinite when all her friends were talking about The Last of Us. Well who looks stupid and out of fashion now? Her, or the loser whose muffled cries barely escape the armoire?
Anyway, here's some hardware and accessories you can buy.

text: MSF Activities in IraqCurrently, MSF has 13 international volunteers and 28 Iraqi staff working throughout Iraq. August 22, 2003Baghdad:An MSF team has been working in the Al Thawra hospital in Sadr City since May 2003. One doctor works on the male surgical ward to give train and supervise the nursing staff and junior doctors. MSF has produced two booklets - one on dressings and the other on vital signs and distributed copies to all the nursing staff. A team continues supervising the primary health care program at the Al Muntadhar Clinic, which performs 700-800 consultations per week. MSF also works at the Al Ma'amil Clinic where staff performs nearly 2,000 consultations per week for adults and children; collects morbidity data; and carries out an EPI vaccination program (basic vaccination package for children). The clinic also houses a pharmacy. During June and July, the team performed a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) screening of 1,343 children between 6 months and 5 years old in the two clinics. The results showed 1.4% of the children were severely malnourished and 6% suffered from moderate malnutrition. These percentages are quite low, especially since the children screened were already ill, indicating that there was probably no major food problem. Further screening will continue, though. The team is in the process of renovating a building in Al-Obiedi that will house a third Primary Health Center (PHC) and construct facilities for maternal health care at in Al Ma'amil. MSF is helping to re-establish diagnostic testing facilities in the public health laboratories of Baghdad and 9 other governates in the upper south region of Iraq, through the provision of equipment, reagents and materials. Southern Iraq:MSF supports three primary health care centers in Basra and 13 in Maysan governate with supplies to fill current shortages in drugs and laboratory equipment for the treatment of chronic and infectious diseases. MSF is also rehabilitating the central public health laboratory in Amarah, Maysan governate. MSF continues distributing SSG (Sodium Stibogluconate) to pediatric and selected district hospitals in the Governates of Al Anbar, Karbala, Al Najaf, Al Qadisiyah, Al Muthanna and Thi-qar in order to treat the infectious disease Kala Azar. In the near future, MSF plans to focus activities on delivering basic health care and antenatal health care in more remote primary health centers around Amarah. Many women do not have access to maternity and women's health care in these areas. Recent assessments have been carried among the displaced people in Diyala governate, who are moving from the north of the country. Currently, many of these families are living in disused former military camps, where over-crowding and lack of water, sanitation and hygiene pose public health problems. MSF is planning to provide basic health and mother and child healthcare. Basra:MSF evacuated its staff from Basra because of the deteriorating security situation. The MSF team has relocated to Kuwait and will immediately review its programs and options for the future. The evacuation followed a series of bomb and grenade attacks that were initially focused on the coalition military forces. The attacks have occurred in public areas and on foreigners or symbols of foreign presence like journalists and aid workers. Iraqi health workers are increasingly targeted and threatened and even abducted for ransom. A few weeks ago, an international ICRC staff member was killed in an attack on their car. The developing insecurity and the increased number of attacks and threats against aid workers is a clear indication that the division between military and humanitarian action is not respected by the armed groups who are active in the country.

Posted: Jan 29, 2013 12:13 PM by Associated Press
SANTA MARIA, Brazil (AP) - The lead police investigator into a nightclub fire that killed 234 people in southern Brazil says the music group playing at the time lit a flare designed for outdoor use that set the club's ceiling on fire.
Police inspector Marcelo Arigony said in a news conference Tuesday that "the flare was for outdoor use only and the people who lit them know that."
He said the investigation will take 20 days and then state prosecutors will determine whether to file charges in the early Sunday fire. Preliminary information had shown that the Kiss nightclub had no sprinklers and no emergency exits.
Arigony said "any child could have seen that this establishment should not have been open."

-Main lift for the day
-triset of squats/push exercise/pullups
-weak link work for the main lift
-other, this being fluff i want to get better at or just like. overhead squats, bent press, reverse hyper, pullovers, abs, biceps, farmers, facepulls, etc
day 1:
main lift, bench, doing 5/3/1,
-1 block doing joker then rule of 30 (like rule of 50 but with slightly higher %)
-1 block doing first set last followed by rule of 50, rinse and repeat

But how diverse are our educational systems, especially in rural, suburban and higher education institutions? As America quickly approaches becoming 50% minority, many of our school systems struggle to reach even a critical mass of underrepresented students, faculty and administrators.

The Wauwatosa School District reviewed a proposed 2013-14 school calendar that would have classes begin Sept. 3, the day after Labor Day, and end June 17, 2014.
With Easter 2014 falling late - April 20 - spring break would be the week preceding it, from April 14 to 18, instead of the more common week following Easter. Winter break would begin Dec. 23, with school resuming Jan. 2.
The planned calendar has 180 days of teaching. Including snow make-up days and teacher in-service days, there are 192 scheduled days in the calendar.
Elementary school conferences would be held Oct. 10 and 15. Middle school conferences would fall on Oct. 15 and 23, while high school conferences are scheduled for Oct. 17 and 22. All conferences are scheduled from 4:30 to 8 p.m.
New teachers would be welcomed, and mentors trained, beginning Aug. 19.
By state law, public school districts cannot begin school before Labor Day - an important weekend to tourism interests. At last week's school board meeting, Superintendent Phil Ertl expressed frustration at the requirement, as it reduces flexibility in setting the district's calendar.
The school board will take action on the calendar at its meeting Monday.

How to avoid paying pesky fees
Fees, fees, fees. There are far too many of them that we know of and even a few more that we don't know about that are, sneakily, just added to our accounts. If you hate those fees (and who doesn't?) then here are a few ways you can either eliminate them completely or reduce them substantially. Some of the amounts may be small but they add up.

Are you concerned about the sky gradually becoming filled with windowless aircraft controlled by someone miles (maybe even states) away? You're not alone. But it may be that the real "threat" turns out to be less about midair collisions and more about increasingly complicated and restricted airspace rules to accommodate remotely piloted aircraft operations.
They are variously known as the unmanned aerial system (UAS), the term favored by the manufacturers; unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); and, most popularly, "drones." Whatever the name, the science of unmanned aircraft has changed forever due to modern satellite navigation and optical technology, and still bigger changes are just over the horizon. Some of them are technological; others are sociopolitical in nature. Just how big the changes will be, and how far over the horizon they are lurking, is causing controversy within aviation circles, and even more attention from those concerned over privacy rights.
There are three primary attributes to unmanned systems compared with piloted aircraft (aside from not having to pay crew salaries and benefit packages). First, an unmanned aircraft is not limited by the sensitivity to G-forces of the human pilot. Admittedly, this is mostly a concern for combat aircraft. Second, unmanned aircraft can complete missions that would be too risky for human-powered aircraft (this could involve combat, but also police pursuit of suspects, search and rescue in bad weather, firefighting and inspection of hazardous-materials spills or nuclear meltdowns, for example). And finally, there are some missions that are just so simplistic and repetitive that even the most astute human would eventually become too bored to be able to remain effective (think long-term border patrol or a police stakeout, for example). Some drone platforms that are perfectly suited for these missions are capable of remaining aloft for days at a time. The physiological limitations of a human crew (sleep, food, etc.) would not permit full use of the aircraft's capabilities. The extra 200 pounds (or more) of fuel or payload doesn't hurt, either.
The Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the largest drone industry trade group, predicts as many as 30,000 drones will be flying in U.S. airspace by 2020 (that would compare with approximately 231,000 currently registered "manned" aircraft, of which 223,000 are members of the general aviation fleet). This year's FAA funding bill, the first long-term bill to pass muster since 2003, includes a mandate to "fully integrate" drones into U.S. airspace by the end of September 2015.
The association is quick to reassure pilots that a large percentage of the 30,000 aircraft will be small, low-flying drones — similar to radio-controlled models — that it says will not significantly affect manned operations. A midair collision with even a 4.4-pound "Group One" UAS (there are five official groups based on size, altitude capability and speed) would likely cause you to crash, and so the certification process of these lower-end types requires line-of-sight observation by FAA-licensed operators or a licensed observer, and it limits altitudes so as not to interfere with manned aircraft.
Drones that will operate in general airspace are another story, and some could be airliner-size. But they will not do so unannounced, according to AUVSI. They will operate under ATC surveillance (including transponders and two-way radio link) and have on-board sensing equipment to help avoid manned aircraft. That technology is still developing. Each operation will be preceded by a notam alerting pilots of manned aircraft when the drone will be flying and its planned route. That's a little less scary from the collision point of view, but perhaps disconcerting when it comes to further limiting airspace access and complicating the flight planning process for us pilots.
The legislation's integration timetable starts with the FAA, which is the controlling agency for all UAS operations in the national airspace system (NAS). The agency has been tasked with establishing six drone testing sites across the nation by the end of this year. It wasn't a good sign that the agency missed its Aug. 12 deadline for initially proposing these sites. By February, a five-year "road map" from 800 Independence Ave. is due before Congress detailing exactly how the agency plans to integrate the unmanned aircraft. The final rule is due in August 2014, with the first permits for operating civil drones expected to be awarded starting in early 2015.

Don't listen to the rumours, bankruptcy or not the 'ring is still thriving - but what does the future hold?
But despite the amazing numbers of visitors and ample track time this year, technically the Nurburgring just went bust. It's a sorry and confusing state of affairs, but not one affecting the day-to-day running of the business. Not yet. The circuit is still operated by the unpopular Nurburgring Automotive GmbH, who are supposed to pay rent to the state-owned Nurburgring GmbH. And it's the latter, the holder of the land and a whopping 400m euros of debt, that has finally gone bankrupt.
You could be forgiven for thinking the gates are chained shut right now, such has been the over-reaction of some of the more ill-informed automotive tabloids. The reality is that while the track's future hangs in the balance, the day-to-day operation of the parts we love (the actual Nordschleife and GP circuits) is still running at full speed.
Even with administrators in charge, contracts have been signed for some big events. MTV's Rock Am Ring will definitely go ahead in 2013, while discussions for the 24-hour and F1 events will begin soon.
Track days to the end of this year are all either fully-booked, or close to it. The famously high-end Gran Turismo Evo event in September is boasting an entry list filled with Koenigseggs, Paganis and Ferraris. Proof, if proof were needed, that money is still flowing into the 'ring like never before in its 85-year existence. The question is, where is this money flowing, if not into the coffers of the track owners?
Nobody really has an answer right now, but a new grassroots movement called Ring-Region lays the blame firmly on the current leaseholders, and calls for all efforts at privatisation to cease.
They fear a cash-strapped government will drop this political hot potato and accept a cash sale to anybody willing to stump up the money. In my opinion it's a very real concern. Valuations of the property and business of the Nurburgring range from just 90m euros to nearly 200m euros, not counting the 400m euros of debt currently not serviced. But no matter which end of the scale represents the true value, there's bound to be somebody who'd consider buying one of the world's most famous race tracks.
Right now the world's uber-rich only visit the 'ring for specific events like Scuderia Hanseat, or Gran Turismo Events mentioned above. But if Bernie Ecclestone, or a similar flavour of investor, gets a hold of the track, the local fear is it could become a new Paul Ricard. While the French circuit enjoyed massive investment and a fantastic overhaul thanks to Bernie's dollars, most commentators agree that it's become a destination for the rich and famous. The Nordschleife, by comparison, has always been a track for the people (for better or for worse). Certainly it's impossible to imagine replacing any part of the Nordschleife's grimy barriers and woodland with acres of blue paint and run-off.
And the local businesses are set up to cater to a few thousand average petrolheads per weekend, rather than just a few dozen wealthy individuals.
But like I said, there's highs and lows. Many of us here in the village are looking on the brighter side. The chance that the state will finally open the books, and identify the parts that work (the Nordschleife, the GP circuit, the public sessions) and cut off the parts that don't (the arena, the roller-coaster, the NuroDisney village).
Only time will tell. In the meantime, we've started a Euro-millions syndicate here in Nurburg. If we can scoop that 156 million euros jackpot on offer tonight, our offer will be on the table by Monday morning. Count on it.

Nikki Haley on Health Care | |
I had pledged, as governor, to lead a coalition of governors to fight Obamacare and allow the states to offer real solutions to our health-care crisis. I was dead set against Obamacare, but Sheheen wanted to have it both ways. Pressed on the issue in the debate, he claimed to support some parts of the Obama plan but not others. There were "good and bad" parts of the bill, he insisted.
"Senator, you can't split the cow," I replied. "You can't say you like certain parts of it and not other parts. We're stuck with the whole cow."
Sheheen's answer was petty and insulting, even for him. "We need a governor with the intelligence and the ability to say when things are good and things are bad," he said. He was calling me unintelligent! The crowd got it and booed the cheap shot.
I have been consistent as a candidate and as governor in my position to Obamacare. The president's approach is wrongheaded and unconstitutional. He's pouring more costs into the system through federal mandates instead of taking costs out of the system through transparency and individual responsibility.
But there is one bright side to the president's plan: It has sparked a conversation about health care that is badly needed. Our healthcare problem is real. In South Carolina we have a large Medicaid population, and health care is the main driver of our budget deficit. But our health-care problem is also unique to our state--it's not the same as the health-care challenges in states like MA or NE. Our challenges are mainly poverty and education.
We have good services, but we need to educate people on how to better utilize them and on how to pay more attention to their health.
I told Obama that his health-care plan imposed mandates that South Carolina just couldn't afford. Our annual budget is $5 billion, and we had calculated that his plan would cost us $5 billion over the next 10 years. We expected to see 30% to 40% of our private companies drop their employees' coverage and force their workers into the public system. My question had 2 parts, I told the president. Would he repeal Obamacare? And if not, would he allow South Carolina to opt out of the system?
I ask that we strike the proviso prohibiting the HHS Director from setting rates paid to providers through Medicaid. South Carolina is the only state in the nation that doesn't give our Medicaid director that flexibility, and with all due respect, we can't be the only state that has it right.
As Governors, we are writing to you regarding the excessive constraints placed on us by healthcare-related federal mandates. One of our biggest concerns continues to be the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which prevent states from managing their Medicaid programs for their unique Medicaid populations. We ask for your immediate action to remove these MOE requirements so that states are once again granted the flexibility to control their program costs and make necessary budget decisions.
Every Governor, Republican and Democrat, will face unprecedented budget challenges in the coming months. Efforts to regulate state operations impose greater uncertainty on our budgets for oncoming years and create a perfect storm when coupled with the current state of the economy.
Health and education are the primary cost drivers for most state budgets. Medicaid enrollment is up. Revenues are down. States are unable to afford the current Medicaid program, yet our hands are tied by the MOE requirements. The effect of the federal requirements is unconscionable; the federal requirements force Governors to cut other critical state programs, such as education, in order to fund a "one-size-fits-all" approach to Medicaid. Again, we ask you to lift the MOE requirements so that states may make difficult budget decisions in ways that reflect the needs of their residents.

Community > Wood River
The history of Wood River dates back to the early 1800s and the encampment of Lewis & Clark. On May 14, 1804, the River Dubois or the Wood River marked the point of departure for the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery and the journey westward. Over time, the rivers have changed their course, and the small Wood River ceases to exist, yet the community still lives on.
Settlers to Wood River began arriving in the early 1800's, but it was not until the early 1900's that the city really started to see growth. In 1906, Standard Oil Company chose Wood River as a location for a new refinery. As word of the refinery spread, spectators and workers began to move into the region. By 1920, the U.S. Census showed Wood River to be the fastest growing town in the United States.
The Wood River Heritage Council has worked diligently to preserve the town's past at the Wood River Museum and Visitor's Center. It is here that you will find exhibits on the Wood River massacre of 1814, Olde Downtown, the Flood of 1915, the World's largest swimming pool, and the impact of Standard Oil on this growing community. Another historic stop is the Vaughn Cemetery on Illinois Route 111 where Revolutionary War soldiers, Civil War soldiers and Wood River massacre victims are buried.
In addition to exploring the town's history, Wood River has much to offer visitors interested in putting around or making a big splash. The Belk Park Golf Course is one of the premier golf courses in the state of Illinois welcoming more than 50,000 visitors a year to enjoy 18-holes in this picturesque park. For families looking to cool off on a hot summer day, the Aquatic Center water recreation complex features a wading pool, Olympic size lap pool, two 4-story high water slides, diving wells and a volleyball court.
For more information on the community of Wood River, go to www.woodriver.org.

We had a relaxing time here with a storm and the lots of sunshine. See our sunrise photo of Baker Bay taken Nov 20 2013. The house is 5 minutes from town but very quiet and remote. No TV in the main house which was ok for a few days.

Gourmet breakfast at the Shelburne Inn - wonderful with fresh picked wild mushrooms gathered by the friendly Innkeeper.

An extended mid-summer weekend visit to the Long Beach peninsula provided the opportunity to stay at this unique bed and breakfast.

We wanted a relaxing destination for our Summer vacation this year and China Beach fit the bill perfectly. We stayed at the Audubon Cottage next to the China Beach house and had an amazing stay!

My sweetie and I were looking for a secluded place to spend our birthdays, two days apart. The reviews on TripAdvisor steered us to the China Beach Retreat.

We are presently staying there with my brother and his wife, and we are so enjoying everything about it! We live in Florida, and to be lucky enough to have perfect weather on the Washington Coast is a miracle in itself. Make sure you plan for dinner at the Shelburne Inn, as it is excellent. We would highly recommend it!
We recently stayed at China Beach Retreat with two other couples. Several years ago we had a wonderful stay at the Shelburne Inn (same owners) and so were very much looking forward to our stay at China Beach and if possible, enjoyed it even more. We occupied the first floor bedroom, with adjoining bath (with jacuzzi tub for two) and... More

The ordinary insurance policyholder now has access: basic rights and vital information-even footing, equality-the security of knowing what to expect in terms of disaster preparedness/recovery-fortitude. You might think that's already part of the bargain. If only that were so! Want your insurance claim rights and your insurance company's claim responsibilities, to tag along with your insurance policy? What do you really have without it?

Wal-Mart labor dispute is now all of becoming a federal case National Labor Relations Board -- resolving this -- a top priority.
The world's largest retailer following a federal complaint tried to prevent Black Friday strikes and protests.
Wal-Mart is saying a big union is illegally rally in the workers Wal-Mart.
Spokesman David told -- joins me now David.
This that there are rules about a company -- -- -- union can go and protest the company for a limited amount of time to fight.
But got this right but they've gone way beyond them.
There's absolutely -- -- thanks Tom for having me on the show I had I -- appreciate the time.
There are definitely rules and the SEW has been violating those rules.
You know we filed that charged last week on the labor board as you as you correctly point out a sense -- top priority and -- -- they're looking into it and and we're pleased by that.
But we're -- this week like a laser right now on Black Friday conserving our customers -- it's going to be an awesome event at Wal-Mart this year.
All right what they've been they've been trying to unionize you guys for as long as I can remember they keep making effort to do that but.
I mean have you ever had a place that's actually gone union because I mean they they can't bold if they get 50% more right.
Yeah they've been trying new.
There organize Wal-Mart for years unsuccessfully.
Time and time again our associates conclude that.
No they don't need a union that they've got a good deal working at Wal-Mart they appreciate the opportunities.
That we have a Wal-Mart and we appreciate our associates mean we can't have a Black Friday that without our associates we're gonna have more than a million of them working in our stores on Black Friday.
The thing about the thing -- its interest in about Wal-Mart is yours yours that such a big company.
And I presume with this such a big number of employees that you've got people out there that are.
Very happy with their job you got people that could take it or leave it you've got disgruntled.
Former employees or even current employees.
That the disgruntled so are going to be the ones that they march out to tell the story about why they're so one -- the question is is to have.
You know is -- some way to to.
Address the unions that would finally say to them.
You don't go ahead take your vote were -- we're ready for you did they can Chavez.
Yeah I mean that was one of the things on why we filed our our unfair labor practice charge on Thursday.
Our associates are asking us to speak up and say why are we doing something about this -- The few associates that they are putting in front of the media and getting some of this attention that they've been getting do not represent.
Our associate base we've got one point three million associates and they appreciate the opportunities that they get it working at Wal-Mart.
How we have 250000.
Associates that worked for the company for more than ten years.
Three quarters ever store management team started as hourly workers and get this.
Of the people that we hired this year were rehire some meeting they worked for the company at one point.
They -- and they decided they weren't getting as good a deal until they came back to Wal-Mart so that tells a totally different story than what the unions would have you believe.
All right so what's the plan on Friday this is this is the busiest shopping day of the year.
Are we going to have people in the parking lots in front of the -- -- Harassing customers what's your plan did provide security for the customer.
In our plan is that we're gonna serve a lot of customers that day we've got some hot items.
I'm worried and guaranteeing three of the top items and -- that's unlike other retailers where you might go there and you might get there and get up to the final line and then be sold out of that item we're guaranteeing three of the hottest items.
And -- you know where we really believe that that's what the majority of customers are gonna experience is a great shopping experience.
And a great.
Thanksgiving event and Black Friday event at Wal-Mart so little National Labor Relations Board rule before what -- No that's up to them I'm like we said we're pleased today we saw that they said that this was their top priority but nevertheless Black Friday is gonna gonna go on and and we think it's going to be -- -- Wal-Mart.
-- a decent but they're not going to stop -- even even so I mean there are rules about what you can and cannot do around a company I mean.
You can interfere with the employees you can interfere with the customers.
Yet they're not going to stop so what is the long term plants or some way to meet some agreement with these folks.
Yeah I think you know longer term you know want to see where everything goes will we'll see what the labor board decides on -- this week I guess that we're focused on Black Friday.
You know we we we manage our stores -- just like we always have you know one customer at a time one associated time and done you know we're ready.
Well note that it's a it's a side note from this business about the protests spread got a I've got it.
Mention this to the audience is the fact that.
Even though you are not allowed to do business in New York City I know that you a year associates and truckloads.
Of equipment once again have come in to help the people that are victims of sandy and I find it very interest it's a very good move on your part.
I don't know how much of its PR how much of -- -- you wanna help out people but you can't do business here -- -- helping to people here.
Yeah I mean that's just who we are we've been doing that for you know fifty years now any -- communities.
Are in need where there have to step up in and help and it's such as such an awful.
You know incident.
And you know we're just happy do our part when when Governor Cuomo called -- Governor Christie called.
We got our trucks on the road as quickly as possible and we are getting relief items up to the to the victims there are -- sandy and I said that's is what we do.
I would like to have been a fly -- that full of -- coldly here bode well yes we'd love to come help and oh by the way how's our store opening an application come along so.
I know -- New Jersey and earlier New York put in New York City is still.
Still kept out for some reason -- anyway David told -- thank you very very much.

It is this moving story that compelled the current Minister of St. Kitts, G. A. Dwyer Astaphan, to meet with Tom Culhane of Union, New Jersey and discuss his proposal to erect a suitable monument on the island in memory of the Irish slaves.
African Negroes had to be purchased, while the Irish were free for the catching, so to speak. It is not surprising that Ireland became the biggest source of livestock for the English slave trade. A leading academic recently revealed that Irish immigrants and African Americans married more than other ethnic groups in the U.S. in the 19th century.

who might thus be made English and of England type Christian, a great benefit to the West Indies sugar planters, who desired men and boys for their bondsmen, and the women and Irish girls to solace them''. Under James I, Cromwell burned the Irish forests to prevent people hiding from banishment as well as clearing the countryside, wood for ship building, and for pasture land to feed cattle for English beef.
Emmet asserted, ``Over 100,000 young children who were orphans or had been taken from their Catholic parents, were sent abroad into slavery in the West Indies, Virginia, and New England, that they might lose their faith and all knowledge of their nationality, for in most instances even their names were changed.''

English shipping of Irish slaves to the New World earlier in the 1600s has been documented in many works. In 1612 Irish people were sent to the Amazon River settlements. An English Proclamation of the year 1625 urges banishment overseas of dangerous rogues (Irish political prisoners). Ireland was already a prime source of supply for servants and by 1637 on Montserrat the Irish heavily outnumbered the English colonists; 69% of all white people on the island were Irish.

LAST SHIPMENTS 1800S -- It is estimated that somewhere between 30,000 and 80,000 Irish were shipped from Ireland. One of the last shipments was made in 1841 from Limerick aboard the Robert Kerr. The Gleaner noted of these arrivals: "They landed in Kingston wearing their best clothes and temperance medals," meaning they did not drink alcohol (as quoted in Mullally, 2003, part 2, pg. 1). The Gleaner also noted of another set of arrivals in 1842: "The Irish are repeatedly intoxicated, drink excessively, are seen emerging from grog shops very dissolute and abandoned and are of very intemperate habits" (as quoted in Mullally,

St Kitts memorial in memory of Irish victims of the Irish Slave trade The reign of Elizabeth I, English privateers captured 300 African Negroes, sold them as slaves, and initiated the English slave trade. Few people know that the majority of Slaves in the Carribean, during the 17th Century, were actually Irish - Sir Alexander Bustamante, National Hero and first Prime Minister of Jamaica, used to boast that he was 50 per cent Irish, 50 per cent Jamaican and 10 per cent Arawak. Busta is not the only prominent Jamaican to claim Irish heritage. There's poet Claude McKay, Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, one of Jamaica's foremost historians and former UWI Vice Chancellor, Sir Philip Sherlock, writer John Hearne, and successful horse trainer, Phillip Feanny, whose mother is from County Cork, Ireland. In addition, surnames such as Burke, Collins, Mackey, Murphy and Madden, to name just a few, are common enough. Irish influence is also found in the names of places. There's St. Andrew's Irish Town, St. Mary's Kildare and Clonmel and St. Thomas' Belfast and Middleton among others.

Cromwell drove Irish men and women, as threats to his new government, from their homes into the relatively barren and inhospitable province of Connaught. He created a system of arresting people for terribly minor infractions and forcing them onto ships headed to the Caribbean, providing the British planters there with "indentured laborers". Often times they actually just 'captured' the Irish for no reason at all. Did you know about Irish slavery? It seems that Irish slavery has escaped many texts, and therefore the entire education of many. Surprised to learn that there were Irish Slaves in the Caribbean?

ordering that the Irish were to be transported overseas, starting with 12,000 Irish prisoners sold to aforementioned Barbados. Mention of these white slaves are often left completely out of history books, or sometimes sugar-coated as "voluntary indentured servants", however thousands were kidnapped from the streets and from their beds. That is not voluntary. And the term indentured servants is meant to describe a temporary situation, which for most this was not. Paintings to suit, as natural in a UK/US Anglo Empire, and as an in harmony story of US founding.

That truth will set you free, notion ...Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England from 1653 - 1658 Oliver Cromwell, in 1648, put down a rebellion in Ireland with such savagery and cruelty that is is nearly unimaginable. In his own words after the siege of Drogheda, "the officers were knocked on the head, every tenth man of the soldiers killed and the rest shipped to Barbados."

Fflash, "Soldiers, cops," fire fighters, "and nurses" have taken oaths to serve others. Their avowed duty and obedience to their captains and supervisors guide their actions. By contrast, pregnant women have freely CHOSEN to bring new life into the world. They do not do so out of obedience or duty to others, and they do not do so as a sacrifice of their own lives. Ages past have known the tragedies of women dying in pregnancy and childbirth and of children growing up without mothers. Medical science can avert many such tragedies if we will use it. Of course women take risks in becoming pregnant. But it is up to us to see that they never die needlessly and do not sacrifice their lives for the delusion that a fetus in miscarriage has a "right" to extension of its life for a few days while the pregnant woman slips into a coma and dies. The comparison you've drawn is a false analogy. Take a poll: how many women would become pregnant if they knew that doing so condemns them to death and, most often, their fetuses along with them?

oh,eiriamach, this has been settle thousands of years ago... a mother will risk her life to give her unborn baby girl or boy it's life at the risk of dying herself...that is what Catholics (and all Christians) always have done... this includes soldiers, cops, firemen and nurses...As Jesus said: "Greater love has no one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.

BURLINGTON A former Vermont police officer has pleaded not guilty to a series of federal gun and tax charges.
Fifty-six-year-old Phil Ciotti entered the pleas Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Burlington.
Ciottis court appearance came a week after he was indicted on federal gun and tax charges.
And it came about 21 months after federal agents raided his St. Johnsbury home and seized 550 firearms.
The Burlington Free Press reported that among the charges filed against Ciotti, a licensed federal firearms dealer, were that he didnt pay enough taxes and that he made improper gun sales.
A former Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent whose home was searched at the same time as Ciotti, 58-year-old Richard Bernholz, of Franklin, agreed to plead to gun and tax-fraud charges.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont NEA has outlined its agenda for the upcoming legislative session and beyond.

#18188 reopened enhancement
Make it easier to go between Dashboard and site edit pages
Reported by: | novasource | Owned by: | PeteMall |
Priority: | normal | Milestone: | Future Release |
Component: | Network Admin | Version: | 3.1 |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | ui-feedback |
Cc: | aren@… |
Each site in a network install has a Dashboard and a set of "edit" pages (Info/Users/Themes/Settings).
The "edit" page URLs are /wp-admin/network/site-settingsName.php?id=id where settingsName is info, users, themes, or settings. The Dashboard URL is /siteName/wp-admin/ where siteName is, I think?, the site's Path field as shown in /wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=id but without the leading and trailing slashes.
The problem is if I am in the "edit" pages and want to go to the site's dashboard, I have to click on Sites, then hunt down the site in the list, then click Dashboard while hovering the mouse over the site's row. I have a similarly convoluted process to get from a Dashboard to the "edit" pages.
Does this need to be so complicated? It would be nice for network admins to see links on every Dashboard or "edit" page that allows the user to go back and forth between the two easily.
Or even better, how about making the "edit" pages just show up as additional items in the Dashboard?

I believe this was fixed with the new My Sites menu in the 3.3 Toolbar, well, in one direction at least.

The only change to My Sites menu in 3.3 seems to be moving Network Admin there. Not sure if it fixes the described issue — the same steps are still required to go from a site edit page to its Dashboard.

Patch adds an "Edit Site" submenu to the admin bar site menu when a super admin visits a blog's dashboard.

On the Network Admin side, My Sites could drop the Network Admin menu and replace it with the site being edited when visiting the site-*.php pages.

PoC, but this is a bit of an abuse of My Sites and may be too clever.
Since the Users, Themes, and Settings tabs have analogous pages in the site admin, perhaps linking to those pages directly in the tabs is best.
