Graduate profiles
Steven Shiells
- Degree MEng Software Engineering with Distinction
- Present job Scott Logic
Ever since I wrote my first "Hello World" program at school I knew I wanted to pursue a career in software development and ever since I stepped foot on campus there was only ever going to be one place that I was going to study.
The lecturers are passionate about what they teach. The enthusiasm they show whilst giving lectures makes it very easy to ask questions in class and also to approach them outside of the lecture for more in-depth discussions.
A great aspect of the programme is that although you get experience in using a number of different programming languages, the core skill set that is taught can be applied to any programming language and you leave the university with all the essential skills needed to make it in industry.
As an MEng student, I undertook a placement, which was brilliant, not only did I put the skills I'd picked up over the previous 4 years into practice, I also got great experience for my CV and best of all - I got paid! It's also a good opportunity to get to know people within the industry and start to build up a network of contacts which is helpful for seeking employment after graduation.
The five years of hard work definitely paid off, not just for me but all the students on the programme because we all secured employment within the industry.
Tessa Berg
- School Forth Valley College
- Degree BSc (Hons) Information Systems with First Class Honours
- Present job PhD Student at Heriot-Watt University
I studied for an Information System HND at Forth Valley College in Falkirk, Scotland, using a good final mark to springboard me into the 3rd year Information Systems programme at Heriot-Watt. I completed my undergraduate degree with a 1st class honours along with a bunch of prizes and awards.
Why did you choose Heriot-Watt University?
I chose Heriot-Watt was for a number of reasons. Firstly, the campus is stunning and offers great facilities such as shops, sports, accommodation, free parking and stunning grounds to name but a few. Secondly, as I am a Mum of three kids, the university needed to be within easy reach. It takes me only 20 minutes by car to get in each day. Finally, it has to be all about the learning opportunities. The information system programme was offering the degree that I wanted, i.e., a good blend of computer science, management and socio-technical systems design.
Who would you recommend this programme to?
I would recommend this programme to all those who just love computers but do not necessarily want to spend hours programming them. Subjects I enjoyed on this programme were database design and SQL manipulation, information system methodologies, web design, interactive design and socio-technical systems. The Info Systems programme is quite unique as it has been created by directly responding to industry and their current working needs. There is a real niche in the market right now for graduates who have good interpersonal, technical and management skills. Even in this current economic climate, I would suggest the opportunities for Information system graduate employment is excellent.
What I am doing now?
Although being offered a variety of different graduate positions I decided to stay within academia. My undergraduate dissertation in 4th year was so compelling that it required considerably more research and I just couldn't leave it alone and go off into industry. Deciding to study for another 3 year

Breast-feeding for more than six months appears to guard nonsmoking women against breast cancer for longer periods of time, a new study suggests.
Smoking canceled the benefits of breast-feeding, but there was a decade of difference in diagnosis among nonsmoking breast cancer patients, depending on how long they breast-fed, the researchers reported.
Nonsmokers who didn't breast-feed or did so for less than three months were diagnosed at an average age of 58, while women who didn't smoke and breast-fed longer than six months were diagnosed at an average age of 68. Those who breast-fed ...

Before you celebrate the Middle East's 'freedom agenda' remember 1917.
25 February, 2011
Watching reports of mass protest across the Middle East, it is tempting to get misty eyed. The popular belief, spread by Western media outlets and supported by much of our political class, is that the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Libya are part of a regional protest fuelled by people power, all in the name of human rights and democracy. Twitter and Facebook, the twin pillars of Western technology, are being lauded as the new global medium for change. The removal of one regime after another has been likened to the collapse of autocracy in Eastern Europe in 1989. This, some say, is Arabia's 'velvet revolution'.
There is a degree of truth in all of this. It seems that Bernard Lewis was right when he talked of 'a common theme of anger and resentment' fulled by a 'greater awareness that they (the Arabs) have, thanks to modern media and modern communications, of the difference between their situation and the situation in other parts of the world.' The differences are partly economic. Untold millions in the Arab world live in a type of chronic poverty that is scarcely found in the West and their misery is compounded by an intolerable lack of political liberty. For many, these protests do have a freedom agenda - freedom from the autocratic governments that have long ruled them with an iron fist. So it is tempting to jump on the bandwaggon, inspired by street revolutions with a seemingly unstoppable momentum.
But we ought to remember the adage about being careful what we wish for. The revolutions of 1917 in Russia and 1979 in Iran replaced Tsarist and monarchical tyrannies (respectively) with communist and theocratic ones. Both Lenin and Khomeini calibrated their language in order to tap into the deep rooted and widespread discontent with the prevailing regimes. Indeed Khomeini had long been a thorn in the side of the Shah. Both men were also careful to hide their anti democratic agendas and totalitarian ideologies. In Lenin's case, he swiftly closed down the Russian Parliament, suspended elections and instituted the bloody rule of the Cheka. Thousands of dissidents were slaughtered in the aftermath; millions more in the following years. We should be wary about forgetting the bloody outcome of popular upheaval. What starts in utopian idealism often ends in medieval savagery.
In Egypt, the departure of the 'pharoah' has been quickly followed by the arrival in Cairo of Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Qaradawi is perhaps the most articulate and well known voice of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world. His views on Islam, women, homosexuality and terrorism should strike fear into any genuine believer in liberal government. Yet his speech in Cairo was greeted by a huge crowd in Tahrir Square, many of whom might well see him as the spiritual leader of a new (Islamist) government.
In Bahrain, an important US ally, a popular Shia revolt could yet result in a pro Iranian enclave being created in the Gulf. To the west of Bahrain, a popular revolt against the ruling House of Saud (not inconceivable) would surely have a major impact on oil prices, which would further destabilise an already fragile world economy. The security of energy supplies has long been a key plank of US foreign policy in the Middle East and upheaval in both nations would put those supplies in some danger. Libya, for all the bloodshed we have witnessed in recent days, is a virtual sideshow compared to the potential upheaval in these three places.
Surveying all these events is the ominous omnipresence of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Events in recent days give us worrying signs of just how far Tehran feels empowered by the region's upheaval. First, Hamas launched a Grad rocket into Beersheba for the first time in 2 years. At the same time, Tehran ordered two ships into the Suez Canal, an action not seen for three decades, and found that there was no resistance to its actions. If these ships were carrying vital weaponry to Syria and Hezbullah, then its actions were sending an unmistakeable message to other pro Western regimes, and the US. Iran feels it is now a regional top dog and will not hesitate to assert itself when necessary.
Amid this ferment, Israel's stable democracy stands strong and proud. Its leaders have taken a more lukewarm attitude towards this Arabian 'moment', perhaps because they sense that grave uncertainty lies just around the corner. As Charles Moore says in today's Telegraph:
Where they (the Israelis) are profoundly unlike us, though, is that their attention to the subject is perpetual, because their lives literally depend on it. They don't just have fun at the party: they are there for the morning after the night before. To change the metaphor, we in the West are like tourists in Middle East politics: we see something interesting, focus with our zoom lens, frame a pretty picture, and depart. The Israelis, by contrast, watch with 24-hour CCTV.
Indeed he is right. Some commentators declare that there is little cause for alarm. We should all join in the fun, praise the freedom agenda and celebrate the removal of tyrants. But pause for a minute and remember Russia and Iran in the heyday of their revolutions. It was the tyranny that followed those revolutions that stayed longest in the memory.top
Iran's revolutionary exports are inauspicious
17 February, 2011
As I am on holiday for several days, posts will be unlikely until the beginning of March.
The convulsions that have hit Bahrain in recent days, and which have been met with the full force of the regime's tanks and soldiers, have reportedly been stirred by Tehran. This would not be surprising. The Iranian regime has long claimed that Bahrain is part of the ancient Persian empire. Retaking it for the ayatollahs is seen as redressing a historical injustice.
In addition, the small oil rich kingdom has a Shia population which has some legitimate grievances. The Shia form a majority in Bahrain yet are barred from constituting a political majority. Power lies in the hands of the long serving Prime Minister, not Parliament. This Shia majority could be stirred up by Iran which is naturally desperate to see its fundamentalist revolution exported to every quarter of the region. And Bahrain's rulers fear a Shia uprising so strongly that they are prepared to use maximum force to suppress it. They know that a Shia revolution in one Gulf state could spread to other countries with big Shia populations, creating a domino effect that could see Iran emerge as the Gulf's dominant power.
Why are the Iranians so emboldened right now? There are a few possible answers. In January, Lebanon's pro American PM, Sa'ad Hariri, was toppled by Hezbullah. The Hezbullah coup was timed for Hariri's visit to the White House and Washington's response was fairly tepid. In effect, the Iranian backed Hezbullah strengthened their grip on the country overnight. Then Tehran saw the US abandon yet another key ally when Washington called (in effect) for Mubarak to resign.
The removal of this Sunni strongman has left the path open for the creation of an Islamist regime, led by the Muslim Brotherhood. Such a regime, while theoretically hostile to Shia Iran, could reach some bargain with the country, perhaps through supporting certain key terrorist groups like Hamas. Meanwhile, anti Iranian sanctions are unlikely to be tightened, at least by any global accord. In February this year, Sergey Lavrov decried the extension of any further sanctions targeting the Iranian economy. He is likely to be joined in his calls by politicians in China. For various reasons then, the Iranian regime feels it is in the ascendancy at the moment.
It is difficult to know the outcome of the protests sweeping the Middle East from Tunisia to the Gulf. But if one thing is certain it is that Iran will be watching events very carefully, and meddling wherever possible to enhance its interests.top
Parliament's futile gesture...
11 February, 2011
Don't be fooled by today's 'historic' Commons vote against allowing prisoners the vote. It is in all probability neither historic nor groundbreaking. It is most likely to be a good PR exercise for David Cameron in the face of a muscular challenge from his party's Eurosceptics.
The issue is simple enough. Parliament (nearly half of our MPs) is overwhelmingly against allowing prisoners to vote, in defiance of a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights. MPs have justly stated that once you commit serious crimes and enter prison, you cannot claim the same rights as you had before, including the right to vote. You have absented yourself, albeit temporarily, from being a part of civilised society. If you break current laws, you cannot have a say in who gets to make new ones.
But this vote changes little. The ECHR has given Britain until August to accept its ruling or else face sanctions. In all probability a raft of prisoners, using well paid human rights lawyers, will submit a welter of compensation claims if they are denied the vote. This will cost taxpayers many millions of pounds and create a vast number of unsavoury headlines. The government will feel bound to submit to the will of the European Court (or the ECJ), particularly after the previous government's craven surrender over the Lisbon treaty.
Of course, I may be mistaken. Perhaps this will be the start of the long awaited fightback, the moment when the people's representatives make a concerted effort to wrest back control of our lives from Brussels bureaucrats. Perhaps this is a turning point for the Tories too, the traditional defenders of Parliamentary sovereignty. I very much doubt it. Does Cameron really want to risk a rupture with Mr. Clegg and his Europhile Lib Democrats? Does he want to risk splitting the Tory party over this explosive issue? I think we all know the answer to those two questions.
A retrospective posture of Parliamentary defiance doesn't fool anybody. Our political and judicial powers have long been emasculated and voluntarily sold out to the United States of Europe. Nothing short of full EU withdrawal will return us to being the proud, independent and sovereign nation that we once were.top
The game's up for the blundering Hague
9 February, 2011
It started with a newspaper interview in which the foreign secretary was asked to comment on something that Benjamin Netanyahu had said. The Israeli PM had declared that his country should prepare for 'any outcome' in its dealings with Egypt, depending on the course of events in that country. This was an entirely understandable comment. Presumably he meant that Israel had to contemplate the possibility of an Islamist takeover in Egypt, and be forced to rethink its military and intelligence options accordingly. Anything less would be idle complacency.
But the foreign secretary has condemned his remarks as 'belligerent,' which is both absurd and immoral. Is it really warlike to defend oneself against enemies that are sworn to your destruction? Well a clue to why Hague thinks so is contained in other remarks he made.
'Amidst the opportunity for countries like Tunisia and Egypt, there is a legitimate fear that the Middle East peace process will lose further momentum and be put to one side, and will be a casualty of uncertainty in the region. It is a time to inject greater urgency into the Middle East peace process.'
Did he mean that the revolutionary upheaval in Egypt could usher in an era of religious extremism, greater financial support for Hamas and Hezbullah and the possibility of a regional conflict being ignited? Clearly, that would put the 'peace process' at risk. But no, that was not where he was coming from at all. His all too predictable target (yes, you've guessed it) was Israeli 'settlements.' Israel's policy, he said, was 'disappointing' and it could make peace 'impossible' in the next few years.
The implication is that what it will take to re-ignite these talks is a fresh settlement freeze. This despite the fact that the very riots he talks about in Tunisia and Egypt were not started by unrest over Israel or the occupation. This despite the fact that the PA boycotted talks for most of the previous 10 month settlement freeze, and refuses to recognise Israel as a Jewish state. This despite the fact that the real causes of the conflict, namely the rejectionist mindset of the PA and its allies, remains insatiable.
For Mr. Hague to spout such fatuous nonsense is a telling indicator of where his party stands on foreign affairs. We should all be very, very worried.top
Israel isn't neutral on real democracy in Egypt
8 February, 2011
I think that Shmuley Boteach may have missed the point in his critique of Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. In his weekly column for the Jerusalem Post, he wrote that Israel is missing a once in a lifetime historic opportunity to support Arab freedom. Noting Netanyahus apprehension at the wave of protest in Egypt, Boteach says that Israels apparent posture of neutrality is wrong. It risks mimicking the moral neutrality that has characterised the presidency of Barack Obama. He makes the quite correct observation that Israel is the lone voice of liberal democracy and tolerance in the region and ponders why the Israeli leader has been so lukewarm over the events in Egypt.
But he is asking the wrong question. Israelis are not apprehensive about democracy, and neither is Netanyahu. What they are apprehensive about is faux democracy, or the legitimisation of religious extremism through the ballot box. The election of a Muslim Brotherhood government, or one in which the Brotherhood (or their political representatives) formed a significant core, would set back the cause of freedom and dignity for decades. Such a government would seek the imposition of Sharia law on the entire population. It would repress womens rights, persecute homosexuals, abolish individual and collective freedoms and impose a 7th century religious code on a modern 21st century state. In short, it would become the Iran of North Africa, an intolerant, homophobic, racist and thoroughly anti Western regime.
While such a regime would appear legitimate insofar as it had achieved power through democratic means, it would soon do all it could to undermine democracy, as the mullahs did after 1979. In 1933 Hitler used the Reichstag to pass laws that destroyed every aspect of Weimar democracy. Within a year, Germany was a full blown personal dictatorship. The Muslim Brotherhood would surely do the same. Democracy is about more than the vote. It is, as Shimon Peres once quipped, about what happens after the vote.
What must underpin any genuine democracy is a series of representative and accountable institutions: an independent judiciary, a workable police force and a free press. There should be checks and balances between the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The government should seek to uphold certain inalienable freedoms, such as those of speech, protest and religious belief and above all, guarantee protection under the law for every group in society. In Egypts case, this includes protection for the persecuted Christian minority and the tiny remnant of the countrys Jews. Yet in a country where anti semitism and religious extremism flourish, who can guarantee that any elected government could provide such protection?
Of course, where there are genuine voices clamouring for a Western style liberal democracy, Israel should support them. Democracies rarely go to war with each other after all. But Egypt in 2011 is not the same as Czechoslovakia in 1989. Netanyahu has every reason to be apprehensive.top
Ultra Zionism or ultra distortion?
4 February, 2011
For many observers, yesterdays BBC2 documentary The ultra Zionists will serve as further proof that a seemingly militant and intransigent group of Israelis are primarily responsible for the ongoing conflict between Arabs and Jews. The documentary maker, Louis Theroux, well known for exposing fringe religious groups, travelled to the West Bank to meet a small group of nationalist settlers.
Some of those he encountered had distinctly unpleasant attitudes towards Arabs. They believed that the Jewish presence in disputed territory was divinely mandated and that their obligation to live on the land outweighed other considerations. One might argue that they would hardly make ideal neighbours. Some had even built outposts in defiance of Israeli law, only to see them demolished by the Israeli army. Theroux correctly pointed out that the settlers had to be protected by a large contingent of the IDF who frequently clashed with Arab protestors.
He went to great lengths to highlight the sense of Palestinian grievance, including an interview with an Arab youth who spoke of his desire to reclaim all of Palestine. But therein lies the problem. Lets leave aside the most obvious distortion involved here, namely that by interviewing only the most hard core settlers, the less intransigent ones were ignored. (This matters because settlers are usually seen as right wing fanatics).
The must fundamental flaw with the documentary is that it unwittingly imbibes Palestinian victimhood. It seems to take the view that if the settlers would only disappear, then Palestinian hate would disappear too. In other words, that the Jew hating and Israel hating rhetoric of the Palestinian street would evaporate if only the settler fanatics were moved out of the West Bank.
But the source of Palestinian rage runs far deeper than this. It springs from the appalling cultural brainwashing that exists at every level of Palestinian and Arab culture. From the earliest age, Palestinians are taught that the Jews are their mortal enemies whose alleged perfidy is laid down in the Koran. They are routinely described as corrupt and untrustworthy, as the sons of ape and pigs. Jews are demonised on television and radio, in newspapers, schools and mosques. It is from this visceral hatred that the conflict ultimately springs; settlements merely exacerbate it. And if settlements are such a roadblock to peace, why was it that the removal of settlers in Gaza only heightened the terror threat to the Jewish state?
Clearly, it was not the aim of this documentary to chart the causes of the Arab Israeli conflict. But in such a contentious conflict, perceptions do matter. All that this documentary will have done is cement the widespread, but utterly distorted perception, that Palestinian hatred is explicable on purely Western lines. It is not.top
Bridlington, Britain
And this is your latest post? Id have thought youd have other things to crap your diapers about, like the Eagles wings being clipped in Egypt, for instance If you describe Theroux always entertaining sorties as a documentary youre even dumber that I thought (and thats saying something )
If it hadn't been for the ad hominem comment, I would have responded Gert.
Further thoughts on Egypt

Some further thoughts on the rapidly changing events in Egypt today.
1) It seems to me that the West's best option right now is to stick with the military regime, whether or not Mubarak stays, both to preserve much needed stability and to deal a blow to Islamist groups (The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas) who are gearing up for regime change.
2) Support for the regime, however, should come at a price. The West, the US in particular, should make clear to the Egyptian government that its financial aid will be dependent on the implementation of domestic reforms, including the establishment of more democratic freedoms within the country. This way they will show that they are on the side of those who support liberal democratic values. This way they will show that they no longer offer blind support to autocratic regimes that deny their peoples fundamental liberties. Genuine Egyptian democrats should be feted across the West.
3) In ideological terms, genuine democracy in Egypt is clearly preferable to rule by the military. Representative government based on the rule of law, where checks and balances exist to limit the power of the executive, is the right of every national population.
4) However, as Robin Shepherd points out on his blog, the vast majority of Egyptians hold unfavorable opinions about Jews and many embrace jihadist Islam. Anti semitism is incompatible with liberal democracy because it challenges the universalist notion that all citizens are equal under the law. The Muslim Brotherhood thrive on a diet of virulent anti semitism and anti Zionism. Therefore:
5) If Egypt is to democratise, it must continue to suppress the Brotherhood and prevent them from exploiting the democratic process. This way, the path towards a more benign politics will not be scuppered by religious radicals.top

I do have to say as a resident of Leytonstone who cycles to Westfield and uses their facilities at least three times a week, I have found generally access to the site and especially the indoor "secure" parking facilities the best I have found at any UK shopping venue. Probably having ridden up and down the lane photographed at least 100 times I have yet to meet another cyclist in either direction. I do support the "Go Dutch" campaign but we have to acknowledge that thought has gone into giving cyclists room and space for access and for safe parking. Maybe not exactly as we would like it, but are we not in danger of lessening the effectiveness of our argument by seeming to whinge?
If Bilboben's comment is true, please can we have an article about the good cycling infrastructure at Westfield. It is our duty to highlight poor cycling infrastructure but if we don't show good infrastructure how will designers know what the correct alternatives are. (Of course, the designers could just engage in some healthy plagiarism from the Dutch! http://www.youtube.com/user/markenlei)
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY the biggest urban shopping centre in Europe with the biggest car park to go with it just look atr the amount of car spaces they have incredible they are just not interested in cyclist full stop.
money talks nothing else that's westfields..
May I suggest a contender to Westfield Stratford for worst bike lane in London? It is - wait for it - Westfield White City. The cycle lane here would be laughable, were it not so dangerous. At one point a lift and a flight of stairs empties out directly onto the cycle lane, pretty scary at rush hour when people pile out of the lift into the oncoming path of cyclists. At other points the already narrow path is obstructed by a bollard, a signpost and a traffic light. Check out H & F cyclists website for pictures. The white lines, which are already chipping off, stop and start three times, so that you sometimes encounter abuse from pedestrians who assume you are cycling on 'their' pavement. Shame on you Westfield. You had many millions of pounds at your disposal and carte blanche in terms of planning. What you have come up with for London cyclists is no more than a pitiful afterthought. I would like whoever " designed' this route to be made to cycle up and down it every day so that they can experience for themselves the effects of their thoughtless and lazy planning.

Syncrude Strengthens Against WTI After Production Falls
June 5 (Bloomberg) -- Syncrude strengthened after Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., the largest owner of the Syncrude Canada Ltd. joint venture, said production of the synthetic grade dropped 41 percent last month.
Output fell because of work on the venture's 8-3 coker unit at its upgrader near Fort McMurray, Alberta. May production declined to 196,300 barrels a day from 330,300 barrels in April, the company said in a report on its website yesterday. Total production dropped to 6.1 million barrels from 9.9 million a month earlier, according to the posting.
Syncrude's discount to West Texas Intermediate narrowed $1.50 a barrel to $7 at 1:51 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Western Canada Select's discount narrowed $1 to $24 a barrel. Bakken oil's discount narrowed 35 cents to $11.65.
U.S. Gulf Coast crude grades also strengthened. Light Louisiana Sweet's premium to WTI gained 70 cents to $12.70 a barrel. Heavy Louisiana Sweet's premium increased 80 cents to $15.15 a barrel.
Mars Blend's premium gained 65 cents to $10.90. Southern Green Canyon's premium widened $1.10 to $10.90. Poseidon's premium increased $1.80 to $11.25.
The premium for Thunder Horse, a sour crude with lower sulfur content than Mars, Poseidon and Southern Green Canyon, widened 25 cents to $12.25 a barrel.

A Baldwinsville man has been charged with attempted kidnapping.
Randall J. Boyer, 47, of 1 Cedar Court Apartment N-226, was charged with two counts of attempted kidnapping, two counts of luring a child and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child after attempting to lure two young boys into his car.
At 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sheriff's Detective William Naughton was driving his unmarked police car to work when a white 2006 Toyota Corolla, operated by Boyer caught his attention. Detective Naughton, who is assigned to the Sheriff's Abused Persons unit, was traveling east on W. Onondaga Street, when he observed Boyer's car several blocks ahead of him driving slow as if the driver was talking with two young boys walking down the street.
As Detective Naughton continued driving, Boyer pulled away and turned around in a nearby parking lot and approached the boys for a second time before continuing to travel west on W. Onondaga Street.
As Detective Naughton approached the boys, ages 9 and 10, he identified himself, asked if the boys if there was a problem and whether or not they knew the driver of the car. Both boys said that they did not know the driver and that he offered them a ride and wanted them to get them into his car. Detective Naughton immediately turned his car around and pursued the suspect. Within minutes the suspect was pulled over on W. Onondaga Street and, with the assistance from the Syracuse Police Department, Boyer was taken into custody without incident.
Detectives are not aware of other similar incidents; however encourage anyone with information to contact the Sheriff's Abused Persons Unit by calling 435-3092.
Boyer was lodged at the Onondaga County Justice Center and will be arraigned in city of Syracuse Criminal Court this morning.

Alice Waters Named One of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People
United States
09 May 14
Slow Food Vice President Alice Waters has been named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, alongside Pope Francis and Barack Obama. "Alice Waters is generally described as a chef," writes food writer Ruth Reichl for Time. "This is wrong. Alice Waters is a revolutionary who wants to change the world through food… Chez Panisse is undoubtedly the most influential restaurant of its time, but Alice's legacy extends far beyond that. She proved the power of a chef, showing an entire generation that one passionate person can reshape the eating habits of a nation." Read the entire article at time.com

text: Posted 15 Apr 2009 About Us <In Silico> is a hardcore raiding guild that expects 110% dedication and commitment from all of its raiders. All of our officers are very knowledgable, dependable, and helpful. 25 man - Flame Lev, Razorscale, XT-002, Iron Council, Kologarn 10 man - Flame Lev, Razorscale, XT-002, Iron Council, Kologarn, Auriaya, and Freya down. Recruiting Feral Druid Affliction Warlock Holy Paladin Death Knights (Tank and DPS) Moonkin Fury Warrior or Combat Rogue Exceptional applicants of any class will be considered as well. Our recruitment process includes an application thread which you will be expected to monitor to answer basic questions the officers or other guild members may have of you, as well as an interview via Ventrilo with your class lead and one or more GMs. All of our guild members have the right to review your application, and sit in on the interview (listening only in most cases), as the feedback of the raiders on an applicant is just as important as the opinion of the officers. You can be the best player in the world, but if your attitude sucks, and it's obvious you aren't going to mesh with us, we don't want you in our raids. Raid Times and Requirements We raid from 8 p.m. - Midnight EST, Mon-Thurs. 80% attendance over a 30 day sliding window is required to remain in the guild. If you go below 80% attendance, you will be placed in a probationary state. If you are on probation, you will need to get with a GM or your class lead and communicate what needs to be done to resolve the situation, or you will be asked to leave the guild. As a bonus, any member with 90%+ attendance over the 30 day window will be granted a VIP rank and a significant portion of repair money will be available from the guild bank for these members each night. All raiders are expected to come to the raids every night will full knowledge of their roles in each encounter, full consumables, gold to cover repairs for the night, and anything else that is required for the events of the night. Members are also expected to show respect for your fellow guildies. If you are going to be late/absent, are having connection/computer issues, or having any other problem that prevents you from giving 100% focus to the raid, it is expected that you will communicate that to the appropriate channels so that you aren't wasting the time of everyone else. Guild Attitude Like most guilds, we do have a sense of humor and our conversations are far from serious and dry during casual times. However, when it comes to raid encounters, vent is expected to be clear of chatter and communication is expected to be quick and concise. If you have a problem with spending gold on repairing gear because we've been wiping all night, then this isn't the guild for you. We want players that understand that you have to earn progression, and everyone has to be willing to make sacrifices. All members should be able to take constructive critiscism, bad jokes, full nights of wiping on new progression encounters, and they should have a great, positive attitude the whole time. Obviously people are going to get frustrated, but the key is to not take that frustration out on your guildies and friends, and not to drag negativity into the raid atmosphere. Loot System Our loot system is fairly simple. We use EPGP with a weekly decay. Offspec items are free of cost and decided by /random. How to Apply To apply to <In Silico>, simply visit our website at In Silico Register an account on the site, then click "Apply Here" on the right hand side, under the list of current recruitment needs. Contacts GMs - Damien, Moocat If you can't get in touch with a GM in game, just /who our guild and pick somebody and tell them to find you an officer.

RICHFORD–The Richford Rockets plated five runs in the bottom of the 6th inning to secure a come from behind 9-8 victory over the Lake Region Rangers in girls fastpitch action Thursday.
An undermanned Ranger crew struck early with 2 runs in the first, 3 in the second and 3 more in the fourth inning to build an 8-4 lead after four innings of play.
Haley Kennedy, Sarah Burnham and Alyssa Royer each rapped singles to put LR up 2-1 after one inning. Corrina Cota's 2-run triple highlighted the top half of the second inning, while nice running catches in the outfield by Steph Merchant and Chelsea Poginy provided the defensive sparkle in the bottom half of the second. Chelsey Thibeault came up with a key 2-run single in the 4th to build LR's early advantage.
Richford pitcher Kristin Mercy then found her groove, retiring six in a row in shutting down the Ranger offense in both the 5th and 6th innings. "We need to learn to keep the hammer down. I don't know if we got comfortable or what, but I felt we kind of let up after jumping out to that early lead," said Ranger coach Matt Tinker.
With just four hits entering the decisive 6th inning, Richford reached LR hurler Michelle Thibeault for five hits in the 6th frame alone. The first two hits were little bloopers just out of the reach of the infield, and paired with a key error, helped the Rockets grab their first and only lead of the game at 9-8 entering the final inning.
In the top of the 7th, LR put their first two batters on, but could not get the clutch hit to bring home the tying run, as the third out was recorded with runners stranded at 2nd and 3rd.
"I doubt there's a team in the league that can survive missing five starters. We had seven girls play today who were getting their first taste of varsity ball. But I don't want to use that as an excuse, because our young ones played admirably, and that's certainly not why we lost. Getting them this experience now will pay dividends for us later on. Our effort was there, but I don't, in any way, want us to get comfortable with losing.
"The game hasn't changed. It still comes down to those same three tenants: hitting, pitching, and defense. We out hit them, Michelle was the better pitcher today, but our defense let us down. We've got to get that worked out. It puts too much stress on our offense and our pitcher to give the opposition four outs per inning," added Tinker.
Burnham led the Ranger offense with 3 hits, while Merchant, Kennedy, and Chelsey Thibeault chipped in a pair each. Michelle Thibeault went the distance on the mound, striking out 4, walking none, and giving up 9 hits.
The Rangers also fell to Enosburg on Saturday 9-6, dropping their record to 0-3.
The Rangers will be at home Thursday and Saturday this week as they host Danville and Winooski

the hour. To the novice there
is something rather disturbing in Atorvastatin Canada
the knowledge that to get a fair
shot at an elephant in these heavy
jungles he must make his stealthy
way to within a few paces, and
considering how little obstruction
bush and undergrowth, impene-
trable to humans, present to an
elephant, tlie need for placing
bullets carefully is obvious. A
wounded elephant is a foe to be
dealt with cautiously, as witness
one of Mr. Thorn's adventures.
He had wounded 4the leading
tusker of a file of five ; the
wounded beast crashed straight
on into dense cover, while the
remaining four wheeled at the
report and charged. The author
killed one of these, whereupon
the other three made off and left
him at liberty to look after the
first, which was evidently hard
hit as it remained in the dense
cane brake where it had first
taken refuge. The jungle being
too dense to enter safely, Mr.
Thom threw a few stones Atorvastatin Calcium Generic into
the patch, whereupon the elephant
charged him and his tracker im-
mediately, tearing through the
cane brake and pulling up not ten
paces away. A shot in the head
sent him back into cover, whither Atorvastatin Fenofibrate
Mr. Thom followed, to be charged
again; he followed the beast up
once more and yet again, before
he could put in another shot, the
elephant charged. "As before
we had just time to step out of the
way, one on either side. Instead
of passing us he stood between us,
in an undecided manner, at a dis-
tance of about fifteen paces; I
immediately covered his left temple
which was exposed, and fired, the
bullet taking eifect in the brain and
bring:ing him to the ground with
a dull thud."
Mr. Thom is no advocate for
the small-bore rifie on such game
as elephants, rhinoceros and bison
under the conditions of sport pre-
vailing Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets in Burma — heavy Rosuvastatin Vs Atorvastatin jungle
where the advantage is all on
the side of the powerful quarry.
Kirby, Von Hohnel and others
have used the "303 with good
results in Africa ; but there is all
the difference in the world between
long-range shooting on open
ground and shooting at such peri-
lously close quarters as the dense
jungle compels. Mr. Thom pins
his faith to the double 4 or 8
bore, and we heartily agree with
him ; few men, however, have
the physical strength to carry the
larger weapon, but one of average
muscularity can use the 8 bore,
which is powerful enough to floor
any game.
Mr. Thom, to whose share of
the work as dealing with fresh
ground we have practically con-
fined our attention, tells his story
straightforwardly, without at-
tempts at dramatic description or
straining after effect. He has
rather a weakness for introducing
the Burmese observations of his
followers with parenthetical Atorvastatin Online trans-
lations, but this may well be for-
given him. Less pardonable Atorvastatin Generic Availability are
his colleague's frequently inter-
jected comments in the text and
in footnotes. Mr. Thom is per-
fectly capable Atorvastatin Trials of telling his own
story ; and to have one's attention
switched off the narrative to read
at the foot of the page, " I quite
agree, F. T. P.," is irritating.
The book is liberally illustrated
from photographs, always well
chosen and generally well repro-
duced. By the courtesy of the
publishers we are permitted Atorvastatin Spc to
give here two representative
Welsh Blood.
Dear " Baily,"— With a slight
acquaintance with your most esti-
mable correspondent " Borderer,"
and with a most profound respect
for his qualities as a sportsman, I
may possibly be permitted to hold
different views as regards the
merits of Welsh and English fox-
hounds. '* Borderer,*' in his
article on " Hunting Sounds" in
your current Atorvastatin Calcium 10 Mg number, is still harp-
mg Atorvastatin Tablets Ip 10 Mg on Sandoz Atorvastatin the old string, and trying
to induce us masters of hounds
to Atorvastatin And Fenofibrate introduce the Welsh strain into
our kennels. Now, some of us
think we can do without it ; we
find that we can show a certain
amount of sport even in provincial
countries, and we manage to kill
enough foxes to satisfy the covert
owners and others who are in-
terested in fox preservation.
We don't lose our hounds, as
some of our Welsh friends would
have it believed, and by pay-
ing attention to business we can
manage to know what hounds are
doing even Atorvastatin Ppt on a windy day, and
in large woodlands. There may
be some silent huntsmen, and it
is an absolutely indisputable fact
that a silent huntsman docs make
silent hounds, but the rest of us
who are content to catch fairly
what foxes we can, and who firmly
believe that it is a '' disgrace to
a huntsman to chop a fox," pro-
bably make quite as much noise
as is good for sport, and Atorvastatin Brand Names if we do
discourage the members of our
field from assisting personally in the
chorus of hunting sounds, it is pos-
sibly because we think that if we
get our hounds* heads up we shan't
get them down again in a hurry.
The Welsh hound possesses
one characteristic which with a
noisy and uncontrollable field
would be a real blessing, and that
is, that if he once puts his nose
down, there it stops, and no
amount of halloaing will induce
him to leave the line.
No amount of halloaing on my
part will, I know, bring "Bor-
derer" up on better terms with
his fox. He is hunting a line and
he has hunted it for many a long
year, and we Discount Atorvastatin all trust that he will
continue to do so for many a year
to come. It is the line of an up-
right sportsman's life and an ex-
ample to many a young ** Cuta-
dash" Atorvastatin Pharmacokinetics who flashes like Atorvastatin Ca a meteor
over Leicestershire for two sea-
sons, and then relapses into an
automobile^ croquet-bridge^ Teva Atorvastatin and cigar-
ette sort of existence.
(A Reply to " Borderer^)
He's the " Best of the Entry," he's never looked hack
From the day when he fed with the rest of the pack,
His name was as good as we've got in " the book," Atorvastatin Vs Rosuvastatin
And his sire was bred both to hunt and to " look."
And we hope necks and shoulders may e'er be our boast
To get up and down hill, so I'll give you the toast,
" The Best of the Entry."
When I said, " Eleu in there," he looked at me once.
As if to say ** Do you take me for a dunce ?
My father is pals with ' John Isaacs ' and ' Muntz,'
And my aunts and my uncles they all of 'em hunts ;
And I hope and believe that some day you will boast
That when once 1 have spoken your fox is * on toast.' "

The simple resume writing hack that will transform your job search
by Louise Fletcher - Jun, 2013
Have you noticed how often product marketers use testimonials? It's very rare to find a website that doesn't include rave reviews from clients. And remember those toothpaste ads that used to claim "9 out of 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste?" Marketers do this because they know how effective testimonials can be. After all, if they tell you how great their product or service is, you might ignore them (they would say...
5 Things You Didn't Know Could Hurt Your Career
by Alison Green - Jun, 2013
Some of the ways you could damage your career are obvious – poor work performance, shouting at your boss and stealing from the company are all pretty well-known career-harmers. But there are less obvious things you might be doing that can also damage your career without you realizing it, and they're worth paying attention to. Here are five ways you might harm your work progression that might not be so obvious. 1. Stay...

Get Creative Within Your Limitations
by Jessica Stasiw - Jun, 2013
Getting the opportunity to poke at your creative funny bone on a weekly basis for some is a gift. We're not all lucky enough to have positions where we are asked to think "outside the box", and for those that are there still may be limitations. Having to stay within an outlined box on a daily basis shouldn't be stifling, or limiting. Embrace the challenge of doing more with less. There is a fantastic TED talks video on gett...
Should College Students Use LinkedIn?
by Miriam Salpeter - Jun, 2013
It's never too early to start building your digital footprint. I believe that college students should make a point to begin their building their own online profiles, and one of the easiest ways to do that is via LinkedIn. Jordan Friedman, a student at Emory University and contributor to Huffington Post's college channel, asked me some questions for his post about the topic. Should college students use LinkedIn? Here is...
How to Succeed in Networking
by Louise Garver - Jun, 2013
Focus on giving. I realize that when an executive networks, they want something. So why do I start this blog out with "giving?" It is kind of like the "pay it forward" concept. The theory is if you help people with something that is important to them, they will be more inclined to help you. Establish and build a relationship, and the rest will fall into place. Most people don't care about what you want or need. Yes, t...
Don't Neglect to Include a Resume Headline
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jun, 2013
Leave them guessing or tell them what you came here for? The importance of a newspaper headline can determine whether you read the article or not. The same could be said about your resume. A resume headline is important in communicating to the reader the exact position you are interested in and what sets you apart as a candidate. Excluding a resume headline means the recruiter or hiring manager is going to have to dig through...

Let's discuss an important part of a successful job search: How to take the elements/tasks of your job search plan and break them down into daily chunks.

Take what you have in the project plan and put each of these tasks into your paper or online planners...
How to grow your network to get a job
by Miriam Salpeter - May, 2013
It's gotten to the point where "job seeker" can be a synonym for "discouraged." How are you supposed to overcome the competition to get a job? Especially if it's been a long time since you've had to look for a position, you have a lot of obstacles to overcome. You know it's futile to sit around and bemoan how tough it is to land a job; it's up to you to act. Your first order of business is to network effectively and effic...
Career Success–What's Holding You Back?
by Georgia Adamson - May, 2013
Career Success–What's Holding You Back? Some people believe if you want something badly enough, you'll work until you get it. Others believe that no matter how hard they work or how good they are, career opportunities will keep passing them by. Both these opinions might be true. To quote a couple of very successful people, both of whom had a similar thought: If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thin...

Swiss study finds aging priesthood
Catholic World News - November 09, 2011
The average age of Swiss Catholic priests is over 65, and that number is still rising, a new study has found.
Father Ettore Mainati, a theologian at the University of Lugano, tells Vatican Insider that the problem of an aging priesthood—which reflects similar problems in neighboring Germany and Austria—is caused not only by the aging of the general population, but also by a loss of the sense of priestly identity.

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
|Agency overview
|Preceding agency
|Ottawa, Ontario
|Agency executive
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2014)
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is the federal regulator of nuclear power and materials in Canada. In addition to nuclear power plants and nuclear research facilities, the CNSC regulates numerous other uses of nuclear material such as radionuclides used in the treatment of cancer, the operation of uranium mines and refineries, and the use of radioactive sources for oil exploration, and in instruments such as precipitation measurement devices. The CNSC is an agency of the Government of Canada which reports to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Natural Resources.
The regulatory system is intended to protect people and the environment from human-made radiation resulting from the use of nuclear energy and materials at licenced sites. This is attempted through licencing processes where licensees are expected to prove that their operations adhere to regulatory standards. At the basis of the regulatory system is the principle that no technology is fail proof, so licensees must incorporate multiple layers of protection whenever radioactive materials are used.
The CNSC is responsible for implementing measures to ensure that Canada's international obligations are met with respect to activities related to nuclear and radioactive materials. This includes Canada's safeguards obligations pursuant to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The CNSC also licences the import, export, and transportation of nuclear materials and other prescribed substances, equipment, technology, and dual-use items.
Organizational structure[edit]
The central body within the CNSC is the Commission Tribunal, which has up to seven permanent members. Members are appointed by the Governor in Council on a permanent, part-time basis, meaning they also have individual jobs. Temporary members can also be appointed to the Commission.
One permanent member of the Commission is designated by the Governor in Council to be the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's President and Chief Executive Officer. The President holds office as a Commission member on a full-time basis.
The Commission Tribunal establishes legally-binding regulations governing the use of nuclear materials pursuant to the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.
The Commission Tribunal is supported by a secretariat of more than 800 employees. The role of CNSC staff is to protect health, safety, security, and the environment by monitoring and inspecting licenced activities. CNSC staff evaluate the performance of nuclear power plants, and also contribute to the development of international nuclear regulatory standards and nuclear non-proliferation fora.[1]
CNSC was established in 2000 under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. CNSC was created to replace the former Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB), which was founded in 1946.
Dismissal of CNSC Chair Linda Keen[edit]
In November 2007, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), acting upon the advice of the CNSC that it was in violation of its site operating licence for Chalk River Laboratories (CRL), voluntarily chose to extend a routine shutdown of the NRU nuclear reactor pending completion of safety upgrades. The issue involved two of NRU's eight coolant pumps which, upon completion of several safety upgrades, would be credited as being able to withstand severe external hazards such as a major earthquake. Before and after the awarding of CRL's October 2006 operating licence to CRL, AECL reported that these two pumps had not yet been connected to a seismically-qualified backup power supply (separate from NRU's normal backup power supplies); however, in November 2007, this fact was recognized by the CNSC as evidence of a licence violation, leading AECL to extend the NRU's maintenance shutdown until the seismically-qualified backup power connection could be completed. These two pumps are the last line of defence in the event of an earthquake or other primary power system failure in order to continue to provide cooling to the reactor fuel and prevent a meltdown of the reactor core.
The extended shutdown created a shortage of medical radioisotopes, of which Canada produced about 60 per cent of the world's supply. CNSC required that a safety case be made, as per its mandate, to modify AECL's licence in order to allow it to operate the NRU reactor with a single pump connected to seismically qualified backup power supplies. AECL's submission was not accepted by the CNSC.
Parliament passed emergency legislation overriding the CNSC's ruling on the issue of the two pumps at NRU, winning all-party support to order the reactor to be restarted, and NRU resumed operations on December 16, 2007. This was a controversial decision because the CNSC was established as an independent regulator, even though it is ultimately accountable to Parliament.
Subsequently, federal Conservative Energy and Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn indicated in a letter that he wished to fire CNSC chair Linda Keen over the matter. The Ottawa Citizen obtained and published Lunn's letter to Keen on January 8, 2008. Keen responded by going public with her own questioning of Lunn, publishing a letter on CNSC's website on January 9 and requesting the Police and the Privacy Commissioner investigate the leaking of in-confidence documentation.[2]
Auditor General Sheila Fraser, acting upon a request from Keen, had investigated AECL's situation, and issued a report to AECL's board of directors in late August 2007, indicating also that Lunn, who oversaw AECL at the political level, should be informed. Fraser's report pinpointed serious government funding deficiencies for AECL, which had held back necessary expansion, upgrading, and replacement of its facilities. Opposition politicians defended Keen, called for Lunn to be fired, and for the report to be made public.[3]
Prime Minister Stephen Harper backed Lunn,[4] and Linda Keen was dismissed as chair of the CNSC at 10pm January 15, 12 hours before she was to appear before a parliamentary committee. She remained a member of the CNSC board until December 2008.[5][6]
On January 29, 2008, the former President of the CNSC, Linda Keen, testified before the House Standing Committee on Natural Resources that the risk of fuel failure in the NRU reactor was "1 in 1000", and claimed this risk to be a thousand times greater than the "international standard of one in one million". These claims were challenged by AECL.[7]

I don't seem them putting the best on Ryback right now….(I would be interested if they did, but I don't see it happening), BUT I do hope that if they put Punk over Ryback that it's a clean win so as not to ruin the streak.
I don't even think they ever had any intention of Ryback even being in this match. He was a backup in case Cena could'nt go which apparently is the case.

Mariehamn (Finnish: Maarianhamina) is the largest town on the Åland islands.
A youthful town, Mariehamn was founded in 1861 while Åland and Finland formed part of the mighty Russian Empire. Maria, consort of Tsar Alexander II of Russia gave the town her name.
Mariehamn grew up round the farming village of Övernäs, situated on a peninsula. The harbour's built-in sheltered bays came to be of great importance. The streets of Mariehamn are wide and straight. Housing sites were large from the beginning, but today they have been divided to provide space for several houses. A distinctive feature is the Esplanade, an avenue of lime trees stretching from west to east, from harbour to harbour.
The Russian heritage is mainly responsible for the layout of the town. It follows the same basic guidelines as can be found in many Russian cities, with large avenues with promenades in the middle of the street. Apart from that, the only Russian signs left from that era is the multitude of tombstones in the graveyards in Åland.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Mariehamn airport (IATA: MHQ) is just 3km north of the city centre. There is a restaurant in the building, usually open every day. There is no airport bus. There are regular flights from Helsinki operated by Flybe and from Turku and Stockholm by the Swedish airline Nextjet, mainly used by business travellers. Flights from Turku operated by the business airline Turku Air are the most expensive at €180 and do not run on weekends.
By boat[edit]
Viking Line and Silja Line car ferries travelling between Finland (Helsinki, 8h and Turku, 5h) and Sweden (Stockholm, 6h) dock briefly at Mariehamn or Långnäs (in the night) for tax reasons. If the stop is at Långnäs, 25km to the east, there is usually a bus or taxi connection to Mariehamn, costing as much as the boat ticket. Tallink makes a stopover in Mariehamn on the Tallinn - Stockholm route, though it is not permitted to use this route to go from Mariehamn to Stockholm. Viking, Silja and Tallink all use the same terminal in the Western port. The terminal is open 24h. Tickets can be bought when a boat is due to leave. Facilities are limited. There are several lockers, a money exchange machine (EUR-SEK), toilets and a customs office. Just outside, there is a café and a small kebab restaurant. Birka Cruises have one daily departure from Stockholm, using their own terminal in the Western port, facing the Adlon hotel and pizza restaurant.
From mainland Finland another alternative is to take the archipelago ferries hopping from island to island. If you are travelling this way, it is useful to have your own transportation such as a car or a bike. Depending on whether you take the northern or southern route you will land in either Vårdö (1 hour by car to Mariehamn) or Långnäs (1/2 hour by car to Mariehamn). It's not cheaper or faster than the direct ferries but certainly more scenic.
Boats going from central Stockholm are relatively slow, because they need to travel a long way through the narrow passages of Stockholm's archipelago. Some of them also stop in Mariehamn in the middle of the night. A better option is to take Viking Line's ferry from Kapellskär to Mariehamn. Viking Line operates a bus service between the ferry terminal and nearby Swedish cities such as Stockholm, Uppsala and Norrtälje. You can also use buses operated by SL when going to the ferry terminal, but the price is different and the buses do not necessarily match the ferry departures. Remember to book the bus at the same time as you book the ferry. The Kapellskär ferry reduces travel time from about six hours to about four.
Please note that the sea can get pretty rough in the autumn. The Sea of Åland (the part of the Baltic you'll be travelling through) is infamous for its nauseating rolling waves.
Get around[edit]
The free local buses ceased operations in May 2013. Currently there are three bus lines operated by the ferry company Viking Line. Your other options to get around is by taxi, by your own car, walking or biking.
- Pommern, Western harbour. the ship is accessible May-September. The Pommern (earlier name Mneme) is a windjammer turned into a museum ship. She is a four masted barque that was built 1903 in Glasgow at J. Reid & Co shipyard. She is one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. Later she belonged to Gustaf Erikson (Åland) who used her to carry grain from Spencer Gulf area in Australia to harbours in England or Ireland until the outbreak of World War II. Tickets to enter Pommern are sold at the nearby Åland Maritime Museum.
- The Åland Maritime Museum (Ålands sjöfartsmuseum), Hamngatan 2. This museum preserves memories of the sailing-ships, one of its exhibits being the red-brown captain's saloon from the fourmasted barque Hertzogen Cecilie, one of Gustaf Erikson's ships. She ran aground off the coast of England in 1936 and before she sank her saloon was salvaged and brought to Åland. You can see all sorts of ship paraphernalia from sextants to sails, souvenirs sailors brought home from their travels and learn about e.g. shipbuilding and the 19th century seaman's hotel in Mariehamn and try out being a captain in the museum's ship simulator. adults €10, children €6.
- Maritime quarter, Eastern harbour. Boat building traditions are kept alive at the Maritime Quarter in the eastern Harbour. Among the red sheds there is a boatyard and a smithy as well as a boat and shipbuilding museum. Several small ships have been built there, including the galleass Albanus and the schooner Linden.
- Åland Museum, Storagatan 1. The Åland Museum exhibits the history of Åland from prehistoric times up to the present day. The Åland Art Museum displays pictures by both old and young Åland artists and the Mariehamn Gallery at the Western Harbour has a model of Mariehamn in the 1920's with its wooden houses. Closed for rebuilding, plans to re-open in 2014.
The shopping street is the northern part of Torggatan. Shops usually close at 17:00 or 17:30 on weekdays and at 14:00 on Saturdays. Some close at 20:00 on Thursdays. Most shops accept Visa and MasterCard, but some of them do not accept Visa Electron. ATM's ("OTTO") are scarce. There are some in the city centre, outside the four bank offices along Torggatan. Another one is situated in Strandnäs, at the Ålandsbanken bank office. Almost everything is more than 20% more expensive on the Åland Islands than anywhere else in northern Europe. Despite this, stores occasionally lacks goods to sell. Mariehamn is without a doubt the worst place for shopping within a 1000 mile radius.
- Restaurant Pommern. In the same building as Hotel Pommern (a fair walk from the ship Pommern) is arranged with ship's fittings. The menu is delicious and some items are quite cheap.
- Marie Bar, Köpmansgatan 1 (next to the bus station). Mo-Sa 07:00-16:00. Cozy corner café with a cool retro-looking neon sign. Fresh sandwiches, bakeries, coffee and tea.
Nightlife in Mariehamn is sparse and revolves around the two restaurants "Dino's" and "Indigo" - although heavily frequented by locals they don't compare well to establishments in larger cities. Between midnight and 02:00 those restaurants close, and almost everybody migrates to the nearby nightclub "Arken". Considering Åland's history (a Swedish archipelago until 1809, then Russian and later Finnish since 1918 - Ålanders speak Swedish, they use some Russian expressions and they drink like Finns) the later hours are dominated by the occasional bar-brawl, heavily intoxicated teens and vomiting. The "Arken" closes at 04:00, and then it's all over.
- Guesthouse Kronan, Neptunigatan 52. Inexpensive, especially for singles. Very close to the main ferry port. Open all year.
- Guesthouse Neptun, Neptunigatan 41.
- Hotel Esplanad, Storagatan 5, ☎ +358 18 16444, fax: +358 18 14141, e-mail: email@example.com. A bed and breakfast hotel open only in the summer season.
