An Exhilirating Ride into the Hollywood Cesspool: Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Drive'
In Drive, the hypnotic new thriller from Bronson and Valhalla Rising director Nicolas Winding Refn, Ryan Gosling remains preternaturally calm even as he stomps a mobster's flunky to a bloody pulp. Rarely does his voice rise above a whisper, much less betray any emotion. He is the essence of cool, breaking a sweat only when his passions boil over in short, shocking outbursts. We all go a little mad sometimes.
Who is he? And how does he stay two steps ahead of the game when the game is rigged and he is playing from behind? Neither Refn nor Gosling cares to reveal much about their hero, a nameless stunt-car driver who runs odd jobs for petty criminals. To rob him of his mystery would render him mortal.
In fact, he is more myth than man, a guardian angel run amok in the seediest shadows of Hollywood's underworld. Drive stares into the cesspool and finds disillusionment and greed staring back – a desperate ex-convict (Oscar Isaac) forced to steal to protect his family, a ruthless gangster (Ron Perlman) risking his life (and taking several in the process) to salvage some measure of self-respect.
The Driver, as he's known, touches them both along the way, forever journeying to a destination unknown. With no past to speak of and a future very much in doubt, his time in L.A. seems as temporary as his bare-bones apartment; the only question is whether he will leave on his own terms or in a box.
If he sticks with Shannon (Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston), a friend and former wheelman whose best days are well past his rearview, they can clean up at the car races, betting money on the Driver's automotive savvy and splitting the winnings. But dreams have no place in Refn's cold, neon-lit universe, and neither does Shannon, a luckless schemer who should have learned not to swim among sharks.
However sordid his past, Gosling's silent, Steve McQueen-inspired hard guy knows the cutthroat world around him without being of it. Violence comes naturally to him, yet nearly always unsought. He'd rather spend time with his pretty neighbor (Carey Mulligan), but the quiet life is surely not his.
Volumes can be read into Gosling's sly smirk, and the subtle body language he uses to define the Driver as well as any dialogue could. He's not an obvious choice to follow in McQueen's footsteps, perhaps because he, like his character, seems too cerebral to accept the brutishness the job requires.
Yet the wiry Gosling, meticulously calculating in the few words he lets slip, is the perfect complement to Refn's brilliantly seductive pulp fiction, in which the best-laid plans invariably unravel and the only way to survive the world is to embrace its darkness.

She's my perfect daughter with Down syndromeEliana Tardio
When she was 4, her whole world turned pink. She wanted to be a princess. She used to run back from school to dress up with her pink gown. At the age of 5, her world gave another turn. Now she wants to be a model.
There's really nothing special about this girl, other than she's my girl.
She's the one that I received in my arms sobbing a mix of joy and sadness more than 5 years ago.
She's the less than 18 inches long baby that seemed would never walk.
She's the one who took years to learn how to say her first words and phrases, and is still learning to talk.
Sometimes I still cry when I hold her, but sadness is gone, these tears are only the product of joy.
She's my daughter.
She's the one who was born with a weak heart that has turned into the strength that makes mine flutter.
She's the light, the heavens and the sun that shines
She's the one that the psychologist said would never look like me, as the physical features of the syndrome had beaten her deeply.
She's the one that many times has been judged by the shape of her eyes.
And the one strong enough to show everyone all that she is able to do.
She's my every day reminder that we are what we decide to be.
That steps don't need to be giant when we decide to leap.
That self-esteem is the reflection of love.
And love is the basis of acceptance. Only love.
That in this wide and incredible world, there's no human being more like me than she.
She's my perfect daughter with Down syndrome.

Woolford returns to the flock
Canberra Raiders captain Simon Woolford makes his return from suspension this weekend to join the Raiders' new halves combination of Jason Smith and Lincoln Withers for the first time.
It's a key combination coach Matt Elliott hopes will give his NRL team more attacking options throughout the 2005 season.
The trio will line up for the first time against Wests Tigers on Saturday night in a trial match at Campbelltown Stadium.
St George Illawarra recruit Withers and former Queensland and Hull playmaker Smith were an impressive halfback-five-eighth combination during last weekend's 26-20 loss to Brisbane and Elliott expects Woolford's addition at hooker will add to the team's attack.
"I think we missed Simon last weekend," Elliott said.
"We lost that running game he provides up the middle of the ruck and I think Lincoln and Jason will enjoy playing outside him."
Woolford served one week of his two-week suspension for a careless high tackle during last year's finals series and the second during the Raiders' first NRL-sanctioned trial match.
Woolford's addition is one of only two changes to the Raiders team that played in Toowoomba last weekend.
Elliott has put more play-making options on his bench, bringing teenage halfback Todd Carney into his 17-man squad.
Apart from the absence of forwards Jason Croker and Tyran Smith - both on suspension - the Raiders will field a near full-strength team on Saturday.
But Elliott has told his players they were still competing for positions.
"There's still plenty of opportunity for people to bubble-up and players will have to perform at their best," he said.
"We've come through the first two trials with a clean bill of health, so there's some pressure on players to make that top 17."
Raiders team to play Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday: Clinton Schifcofske, Phil Graham, Craig Frawley, Adam Mogg, Nathan Smith, Jason Smith, Lincoln Withers, Ian Hindmarsh, Michael Hodgson, Matt Adamson, Troy Thompson, Simon Woolford, Ryan O'Hara. Res: Michael Weyman, Kris Kahler, Alan Tongue, Todd Carney.

Saint Jerome Reading, 1505

Saint Jerome is often depicted on small devotional panels like this one. Because he had translated the Bible into Latin, the saint was a favorite of Renaissance humanists and was often shown reading in a study. Other depictions showed him in the wilderness, living as a hermit and beating his breast in penance. Here the two types are combined.
In fact, the elderly saint and his lion companion, shifted to the lower right, occupy only a small area of the painting. The landscape commands center stage, filled with a distant view and abundant life, all washed with a radiant light. Many of the plants and animals have various symbolic meanings—the rabbits, for example, could serve as reminders of lust or Christian meekness. Rather than intending that we "read" them as symbols, perhaps Bellini means us to see them simply as part of a vast and rich nature.
Perhaps, paradoxically, it was because Venice was so intensely urban—it was a largely artificial environment constructed on pilings and scant marshy ground—that its artists developed into such evocative landscape painters. Their approach, in contrast to contemporaries elsewhere, was more intuitive than scientific: they responded to, rather than recorded, nature.

Nikon A vs Ricoh GR (Both APS-C and 28mm f2.8)

Re: Nikon A vs Ricoh GR (Both APS-C and 28mm f2.8)
Ricoh has one clear advantage. Apart from the sensor, this a variation of the very good GRD construction. Been using the original GRD and GX100. The more cheap CX4 is even more userfriendly. Nikon A is something completely new, did they get it right? With IQ at the same level, would choose Ricoh. BUT, Ricoh service here has not been good. Nice to have such competition. Thinking back a few years, this is a senstation. But more could come, of course. Maybe no RX10 with the sale of RX100, but who knows... A smaller one from Canon would kill the sale of the one they got?

If you missed our mention of it on Friday, the Entertainment Consumer Association (ECA) has begun a letter writing campaign to challenge Bill S. 978, better known as the "anti-streaming bill" that is being pushed in the U.S. Senate. The new message from the ECA can be found below in its entirety, but I urge you to visit action.theeca.com or the ECA's Facebook group to get involved, because if you don't you may find yourself impacted by it after posting a YouTube video or while engaging in some other seemingly innocuous activity:
Bill S. 978 has recently been introduced before the United States Senate. The legislation, if passed, would impose stricter copyright laws and penalties when it comes to streaming, playing, or reproducing copyrighted material. While we believe in the rights of copyright holders, this legislation's broad language would make criminals out of millions of Americans.
People could face prison for up to 5 years if they:
Make or offer 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works; and
If the total retail value of the performances, or the total economic value of such public performances to the infringer or to the copyright owner, could exceed $2,500; or
If the total fair market value of licenses to offer performances of those works would exceed $5,000.
In plain terms, this means that if you stream your gameplay to show your friends and it's viewed by 1 or more friends ten times or less, you could go to jail for up to five years. Everyone is at risk. The vagueness regarding value leaves it to copyright holders to determine the possible costs to them. If they want to prosecute through that loophole, they can. A child playing piano of their favorite performer on YouTube, a video of a child dancing to their favorite songs and video game players showing off walk-throughs, speed trials and live streaming their games are all examples of items that'd be prosecutable under this legislation.
There are already strong laws on the books for copyright holders to protect their intellectual property. We don't need this draconian measure that'd make criminals out of millions of Americans who just want to share their enjoyment of their favorite entertainment.
To take action now by writing to your local Senator, go to: http://action.theeca.com/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4444

Our alumni have gone on to change the nature of the food industry. Here are some of their achievements, in their own words:
"USC's Food Industry Management program was a game-changing experience for me. I stopped thinking about my job as a job and instead began thinking about it as a career. It was the turning point in my life and I will always treasure the rich personal and professional lessons that I learned at USC. As Chief Marketing Officer for Unified Grocers, I encourage retailers, manufacturers and third party suppliers to send your best and brightest to the USC FIM program. It is a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends for many years in the future." Sue Klug, Chief Marketing Officer, Unified Grocers
"The Food Industry Management Program literally opened the door to my career in the food industry. Without it, I would not have seen the opportunities that were right in front of me and I would not have been prepared for the fast paced and ever changing nature of this great industry. I feel fortunate to have experienced the USC FIM Program as a student back in 1978 and to have benefitted from it with over thirty-five years of personal growth and success, because of it! At Bristol Farms we consider the USC FIM Program and the Executive Program critical components of executive education and leadership development. The proof is in the results!" — Kevin Davis, President & CEO, Bristol Farms
"The USC FIM Program absolutely broadened my perspective of the industry. I gained practical knowledge that has benefited me on a number of levels for many years. As President of the Safeway Northern California, I also see the positive impact the program has on our participants today continuing to provide valuable insights to the future leaders of our company and our industry. The program is a tremendous opportunity for the students, participating companies and industry overall." — Karl Schroeder, President of Northern California Division, Safeway

Surviving Brunch, or Why is Everything in a 9x13 Pan Delicious and Not Good For You?
Tuesday, May 01, 2012
So, first of all, while I did survive brunch, albeit with less than 400 calories available for the rest of the day, I did not survive book club last night. I had such good plans; I ate a piece of salmon and an apple before I went, so that I would not be starving, and I started with a big glass of water, so I didn't start in on the wine right away. I had a glass of wine and a baked samosa, and then one cracker with smoked salmon, and walked away from the table, but then came my hostess with the wine bottle... after the 3rd glass of wine, at about 10 pm, I weakened and started picking at the food that had been moved to the cocktail table directly in front of me. I have gone over calories a few times since I have started, but those were intentional decisions; this is the first time since restarted Spark that I have just mindlessly eaten without really being aware of what I was doing.
I ate about 600 calories over the high end of my calorie range. Not horrible really. Given that I usually eat in the middle of my range, I am probably fine for the week, but I was really upset with myself for the mindlessness of what I was doing. I didn't need that food; I didn't even particularly want it. I just ate it because it was in front of me.
Today is a new day however, and a new start. Unfortunately it is also a holiday, and therefore an excuse for a party. Bunch is notoriously high calorie too, all those potatoes and sausages, not to mention the coffee cakes and other sweets. I had a plan going into it though, which kept me out of serious trouble.
1. I ate some fruit and some protein before I went. Enough to take the edge off, so that I would not devour everything on the buffet table.
2. I made sure that there would be food there that would be healthy and tempting enough so that I would not feel deprived. I made an egg casserole that used skim milk and a mixture of regular eggs and eggbeaters, and instead of piling it with bacon and cheese, I used artichokes, sun dried tomatoes and spinach, and only scattered a handful of feta on top rather than mixing it throughout. I also suggested to my friend that he bring fruit salad when he asked what he should make.
3. I filled my plate once. I started out with the fruit salad and filled about half my plate with that. Then I scoped out the table for other things that looked calorie-friendly. There was a cucumber salad, so I took a scoop of that, and added hummus and carrots, a spoonful of my egg dish, and about a tablespoon of roasted potatoes. It was hard to skip the other casseroles, they all looked fabulous with their melty cheesy toppings and chunks of bacon, but after last night's indiscretions, I felt like I had to be extra vigilant.
4. I ate dessert. I love dessert. I would feel deprived if I had to forgo the dessert table entirely. But I had one dessert, not four, and I had about 4 bites worth, not a huge slab. I felt satisfied, but not stuffed when I was done.
5. I didn't drink any calories, with the exception of the milk in my cup of coffee. There was juice, wine and champagne, but I stuck with water. I was a little concerned about my resolve weakening if I had a couple glasses of wine, and juice is really mostly sugar, even if it is 100% fruit, so I decided against it.
So there you have it. A pile of satisfying food for under 1000 calories. It's still a lot certainly, and it would not do to eat like that every day, but I am sure that without being mindful about what I was eating, that 1000 calories would be more like 3000.
I don't feel gross either. Usually you come away from brunch feeling bloated or sleepy, but I feel great. I'm still going to take a nap, because it is a holiday and I can, but I don't need to.

Even though his debut album LongLiveA$AP only just hit shelves earlier today, A$AP Rocky's crew-cut "1 Train" has been garnering a lot of talk from listeners. Now, in a recent interview with Hot 97's Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg via RapRadar, Rocky explains who he thinks has the best verse.
Of an ensemble featuring Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson and himself, Rocky said he thinks it's Big K.R.I.T. who has the winning verse on the song. Rocky also spoke on the song's title, explain that he viewed each emcee along the 1 train which he rode growing up.
"[K.R.I.T.] rips the whole track," he said. "I'ma be honest, I think it is [the best verse], man. Me and [Ebro Darden] were going back and forth about it before…we was debating 'cus it's just like, you can't really say one it better than the other, because everybody is different on it and you can't really compare one rapper to another…I'ma have to go with K.R.I.T. though, man. I told him to do 16 bars, and he did about 120."
He added, "I was just thinking of each artist as a different train stop, and when you hear that beat, it just brings me back to like - well, for me, it brings me back to being at the bus stop or being on the train early in the morning, cold, mad at life on the way to school late. I'm showing up third period - that's the 1 train. Anything is better than the 1 train."

Clark County newcomers Michael and Sheryl Hendrix are still unpacking the boxes in their newly built Camas house. But they are already feeling at home.
Since moving to the small town in June to be near their first-born grandchild and their adult children in Portland, the Seattle transplants are amazed by the friendly people in Camas.
"Perfect strangers smile at you when you pass them on the street," said Michael Hendrix, a commercial pilot for Alaska Airlines.
His job transfer here makes Hendrix representative of the key demographic behind a new wave of Clark County newcomers who are helping the area recover from its bruising housing bust. Realtors say transplanted workers from other states and the Puget Sound area are the largest segment of the housing market and help explain the surge in new residents indicated by a recent driver's license report.
In November, Clark County saw a 37 percent year-over-year increase in drivers trading in their out-of-town licenses as compared to November 2012, the state Department of Licensing reported this week. The monthly figure continued an upward trend that has registered an 11.5 percent increase in new residents so far this year. From January through November, there were 13,323 people who exchanged out-of-town licenses in Clark County, up from the 11,950 people who sought licenses here during the same 11 months in 2012. While numbers have fluctuated over the past five years, license transfers are up by 7.5 percent from the same period in 2011. The state does not have reliable numbers on people who give up licenses in Clark County to move elsewhere, but the county continues to see steady growth in population and employment.
The numbers suggest that the county's assets — including relatively low housing prices for new homebuyers, a tax system that is favorable to affluent retirees, and quality schools that appeal to families — are again drawing newcomers as the economy improves. But some now see that the county is adding jobs that are bringing new people here.
"We're just attracting more people to the area, due to job relocations," said Terry Wollam, a Realtor with Re/Max Equity Group.
Realtors are also seeing more Oregon- and California-based baby boomers and retirees seeking shelter in Clark County because Washington has no income tax.
"Their financial advisers tell them to do it without hesitation," said Patrick Ginn, a Vancouver broker who specializes in high-end home sales. "A lot are tax-driven retirees relocating from Portland and Lake Oswego to downsize and save on the state income tax. It gives them a 10 percent increase in income regardless of what the stock market does."
Most from Oregon
Oregon supplied the majority of Clark County newcomers in November, a period in which 528 Oregonians turned in their driver's licenses for local ones. California drivers were the second-largest group, with 179 newcomers; 57 came from Arizona, 48 were from Texas and 31 were from Utah. In all, Clark County received new residents from 45 other states and two countries — Canada and Mexico — in November.
The county's unemployment rate is still the highest in the Portland-Vancouver region. Still, employment experts say the trend could lead to a healthier economy as the newcomers bring purchasing power, job skills and entrepreneurial pursuits from outside the community.
"I can tell you we've landed eight new companies this year," said Bonnie Moore, vice president of business growth and innovation for the Columbia River Economic Development Council, Clark County's nonprofit business recruiter.
Of the eight, the largest recruit is Portland-based telecommunications company Integra, which in April announced plans to move its headquarters north of the state border to the former Hewlett-Packard campus in east Vancouver. The company is set to open its Vancouver site in June 2014. It will house at least 500 of its 1,763 employees.
One of the reasons Integra selected the Vancouver site was because "roughly half" of its metro-area employees already lived on the Washington side of the border, said Felicity O'Herron, the company's senior vice president of human resources.
Moore said she frequently sees smaller Portland-based companies relocate to Clark County to be closer to employees who live in the community.
"A few of the small- and medium-sized companies I work with (between 20 and 250 employees) have relocated here for the benefit of their employees living here," she said.
Job numbers skewed
But the influx of new jobs can distort unemployment figures, which continued to improve this year, according to the Washington State Employment Security Department. Its latest report showed Clark County added 4,100 jobs from January through October.
But some question whether those jobs represent additional positions, given the growing number of newcomers and companies relocating to the area. Employees who are shifted from another part of the country to Clark County still get counted as new hires by Washington's employment agency, said Paul Dennis, executive director of the Camas-Washougal Economic Development Council.
It's a natural assumption, Dennis said, that these new jobs mean that local unemployed workers are getting jobs. "I don't think that's the case," he said. "I really think it's new individuals transferring in, so our job numbers increase."
That's why jobs added don't always translate to a corresponding decrease in the number of unemployed residents, Dennis said. He said many companies are still hesitant to hire in the face of the rising cost of health care and other benefits.
"Employers are still a little reluctant to go on a hiring spree," Dennis said.
Highest test scores
Wollam said the most selective new residents are families with school-aged children. Most want to be located within the boundaries of schools with the highest test scores, especially a handful of secondary schools that are driving relocations to areas such as Camas and Vancouver's Felida and Salmon Creek neighborhoods.
These communities also have the highest income per capita, according to Wollam, and homes in the areas command selling prices that are up to 25 percent higher than in other parts of the county. High schools that are leading the trend include Camas High School in Camas and Skyview and Columbia River high schools in the Felida and Salmon Creek areas.
"Near Heritage High School (north Orchards area), a 2,500-square-foot home is going to be around $350,000," he said. A similar-sized new house near Camas High School would command between $400,000 and $450,000, Wollam said.

Portland Winterhawks
This week: At Vancouver, 7:30 p.m. Friday; at Spokane, 7:05 p.m. Saturday; host Kamloops 5 p.m. Sunday at Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Last week: Beat Victoria twice, both by a score of 6-2; beat Red Deer 5-1.
Where they stand: At 13-3-1-0, the Winterhawks lead in the U.S. Division. With 27 points, they are one point in front of both Spokane (which has played two more games than Portland) and Tri-City (which has played three more games than Portland.
Showdown Sunday: The Kamloops Blazers, who enter the weekend with a WHL-best 17 wins through 20 games, visit Portland for the first time this season. The puck drops at 5 p.m. Sunday at Memorial Coliseum. It will be the third game in three nights for both teams.
In the most recent BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings, Kamloops is second behind Halifax of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Portland is ranked sixth this week.
For the record, Winterhawks head coach and general manager Mike Johnston said on Thursday that the team must focus on its challenging road games at Vancouver and Spokane, not look ahead to Sunday.
Win streak at nine: The Winterhawks enter the weekend on a nine-game win streak, during which they have outscored their opponents 49-13.
Johnston said the key to the win streak has been improved defense.
"Our goals-against is a key part of it," Johnston said, citing more consistent play in the defensive end. "We're creating scoring chances, but we're also defending well."
Positive plus-minus: Eight Winterhawks have a plus-minus of plus-10 or better, led by 17-year-old center Nic Petan's plus-22. Petan already has eight goals and 19 assists. As a rookie last season he finished with 14 goals and 21 assists in 61 games.
"I thought he learned a lot last year defensively," Johnston said, noting that the Winterhawks ask their centermen to play a key defensive role. "He's becoming a very sound defensive player."
Salvation Army fundraiser: $8-$10 of every ticket purchased for Sunday's game against Kamloops will be donated to the The Salvation Army's Home Front War Relief program, which assists currently- or recently-deployed service members and their families.
December tickets on sale: Tickets for all six December home games, including the Dec. 15 teddy bear toss game and the New Year's eve game, are now available.
Vancouver Vipers
This week: Visit Eugene on Friday at 7:35 p.m.; host Eugene on Saturday at 7:35 p.m. at Mountain View Ice Arena.
Last week: Beat Bellingham 6-5; lost to Bellingham 10-2.
Where they stand: At 2-9, Vancouver is last in the six-team Northern Pacific Hockey League.
The Cody show: In last Friday's win over Bellingham, Cody Larkin was in on all six Vipers goals (two goals, four assists), Cody Dettman had one goal and three assists, and Cody Anderson had two goals and one assist.
Roster update: Nelson Deems, a goalie from Phoenix, and defenseman Cole Morrow from North Pole, Alaska, joined the Vipers this week. The roster now has 14 skaters and three goalies.
Host a player: The Vipers are still looking for homes for several of their out-of-town players. For billet details, e-mail Biz Larkin at email@example.com.

Brantford men's hockey wins OCAA Extramurals
OSHAWA, Ont. (March 25, 2013) - The Laurier Brantford Golden Hawks men's hockey team are 2013 OCAA Extramural champions after they defeated Seneca College 3-0 to win the championship tournament last Friday.
The Hawks, who qualified for the 12-team championship tournament after winning their host tournament during the season, entered the finals ranked 10th but thanks to a 9-0 record to finish the season, the team came away as champions.
"When it came down to it, all the guys came together and worked hard for the win," commented team captain Dave Howe. "This team simply hated to lose more than we loved to win and it showed in our teams play. We couldn't ask for anything more, we showed up to win."
"The boys certainly surprised me during the Challenge Cup, not by winning, which I knew they could achieve, but more so by the way in which they won," said Greg Stewart, head coach and manager of athletics and recreation. "It was pure class the entire run. They outworked their opponents each and every shift and they did it with dignity and determination."
The extramural championship, which sees club teams across Ontario universities and colleges compete at a level between intramurals and varsity level, was hosted by Durham College. The tournament featured all 12 teams competing in a four pool, two game round robin format. The Hawks, who were paired with Fleming College and St. Lawrence College (Cornwall), captured first place in the pool with a 2-0 win over Fleming and a 2-1 shootout victory over St. Lawrence.
After receiving a bye straight to the quarter-finals, Laurier battled a tough Sault College squad and came out on top 4-3. In the semifinals, the Hawks faced Trent and took home an easy 4-0 win to advance them to the championship game.
In the final, Laurier used their skill and size differential to dominate from start to finish to come home with the trophy.
"My hat goes off to our graduating seniors, Kelan Herr, Andrew Pawluk, Paul Gallucci, Dillon Parnell and Tanner Rutland, as well as Dave Howe, our team captain and leading scorer," added Stewart. "Their play inspired us all the way to this championship title."

Contrast. That's the control on your TV that makes the very so made up presenters look like something out of a 1970's sit com if you turn it up too much, alternatively it's the difference between Loch Aline, where we started, Tobermory, where we stopped and Loch Na Droma Budha, or more easily remembered, Loch Drambuie, where we finished proceedings and stopped for a couple of days.
In our time in Loch Aline we managed to see all of 2 people, the chef in the White House Restaurant, and the shopkeeper. Heaving it was not, idyllic and ideal for our needs it was. This was an unreal contrast to what we found in Tobermory, of Balamory (kiddies TV program apparently) fame. Tobermory had its annual music festival on and had 1000's of people on every street and in every pub. The music sounded great but unfortunately the festival seems to have been renamed by the locals to 'Lets get bladdered on the street and shout and fight with people." Surprisingly we decided not to join in with the shouting and fighting and made haste around the corner to Loch Drambuie.
In Loch Drambuie we found a huge anchorage with only one other boat in, high hills to every side and an entrance that happened to line up with the setting sun. The company of the yacht was a nice addition, not because of the socialising, but because they had unsecured mobile wireless internet that we unwittingly managed to 'use' to download weather and surf the web on. The hills provided good walking and the setting sun every evening gave a nice backdrop for the sundowners that we have been craving for the past 2 months and 1000 miles at sea.
It's not all sun sun sun up here in Scotland. We have now actually seen a whole day of rain since we arrived, ½ a day in Puilladobhrain, and now ½ a day in Loch Drambuie. Instead of our usual activities of hill walking and dinghy safaris, which would come later, we opted for a duvet morning which has been marineified (if there is such a word), to a musto middle layer snug day. We have heard that it is so wet 'down south' that people are going brown not through the sun but because they are going rusty (thanks Chris/Dad), we know how you feel with our ½ day. Once the rain passed we were greeted with empty blue skies and views from ahigh all the way over to Coll and Tiree in the west and Skye in the north.
We have tentative plans, assuming that the weather is good, to walk down memory lane for Fiona by visiting her old holiday home 30 miles around the peninsula at Ard Nan Buth. The only issue with getting a detailed weather forecast, is that we'll be spending the evening walking for an hour to the top of the nearest hill where we should be able to have some phone reception to download it. This isn't too much of a chore however as the sun is still shining and we should find another amazing sunset over the Scottish Isles. Now where's that bottle of wine to take with us?

Business briefs, Jan. 9
In brief
Tax filing season is delayed
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service says late changes to federal tax laws should mean only a short delay for most taxpayers to file their 2012 returns. The agency said Tuesday that more than 120 million taxpayers — about 80 percent of all filers — should be able to start filing their federal returns on Jan. 30. Others will have to wait until late February or March to file because the agency needs time to update and test its systems. Those who will have to wait include people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. The filing season h was delayed because of the big tax package passed by Congress Jan. 1.
AIG directors to study lawsuit
NEW YORK — American International Group Inc. says its board of directors will weigh whether to take part or try to block a shareholder lawsuit against the U.S. over the government's $182 billion bailout of the insurer. AIG said that its directors will take up the matter on Wednesday and expects they will have a decision by the end of the month. Starr International Co. Inc., the investment firm of ex-AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg, filed the lawsuit. The complaint asserts that the government didn't provide shareholders just compensation when it took a nearly 80 percent stake in the insurer as part of its 2008 bailout.
Dish ups bid for Clearwire
NEW YORK — Wireless network operator Clearwire, which agreed to sell itself to Sprint in December, says satellite TV provider Dish Network Corp. is offering to buy the company for $3.30 per share, or $5.15 billion. Clearwire Corp. says it will discuss the unsolicited offer with Dish. Under the deal, Dish Network would buy about 24 percent of Clearwire's spectrum assets for $2.2 billion, and Clearwire would build and manage a wireless network for Dish. Dish would also provide up to $800 million in additional financing. Sprint Nextel Corp. owns 51 percent of Clearwire. In December it offered to buy the rest of the Bellevue, Wash., company for $2.97 per share.

OCT 11, 2013 - American Spectator
A Must Read - Share
The behavior of the National Park Service during
President Obama's shutdown campaign has been shocking. As has
been widely reported, Park Service employees have been told to make
life as uncomfortable as possible for people, and have flourished
in that endeavor. They have acted crudely and unprofessionally as a
partisan and ideological arm of
the White House and its propaganda campaign.

Cunard's announcement today that the dreaded solo surcharge on Queen Mary 2 voyages will be reduced from 100 percent to 75 percent is good news ... sort of.
It is good news because Cunard initially seemed to be abandoning single travelers with the departure of the heralded Queen Elizabeth 2 -- one of the few ships that actually have cabins designed for solo passengers, and thus do not incur an outrageous surcharge. Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, however, feature staterooms that are pre-fabricated at a factory for at least two passengers (customary in the industry). A single person essentially has to pay to twice the normal rate to occupy a standard double cabin.
The bad news? While the 25 percent reduction is appreciated, it's still a pretty pricey tariff -- though Cunard said today that on some cruises it will be dropped even further, to 50 percent.
Most cruise lines price sailings for solos with a surcharge of 50 to 100 percent, but will occasionally reduce or eliminate them on voyages not selling well.
There are still a handful of cruise lines that do offer single cabins without excessive surcharging. Among them are Fred. Olsen and Saga Holidays. For more details about best ships for solo travelers, check out our guide.

Diaper explosions are, for the uninitiated, when a poop (typically one from a newborn or a baby with a sick stomach) escapes the diaper and most often goes up the back and into the onesie area. With a little common sense and a lot less waste, I'm going to offer real advice based on the tips given by Today Parents on how to avoid diaper blowouts and leaks.
My tip for avoiding diaper explosions? Use cloth diapers with elastic at the back. Their tip? Bring a change of clothes for the caregiver and baby.
It works almost every time. I even have a graphic photo as evidence where the elastic was all that came between my son's disgusting, wet, mucousy poop and his clothing. Today Parents didn't offer a way to stop the blowouts, they told parents to bring a change of clothes for the baby and themselves (which is a good idea in general for spit-up too, but does nothing to prevent the poop explosions.) I'm surprised they didn't tell everyone to use the blow-out blocker…. oy. You can view three minutes of their Earth shattering advice on their website.
My second tip refers to getting peed on between changes. Their tip? To buy Pee-Pee Tee-Pees (which are pointless purchases new parents are told to make because it is a funny thing to say and, surprise, they might actually buy them because they've never had kids. My tip: after you remove the dirty diaper take either a cloth wipe (best choice because it is absorbent and won't be missed if peed on) or lay your clean diaper over the top to catch that pee. For girls it is a bit trickier but having a waterproof and reusable changing pad lined with PUL and cotton on top is a way to protect your changing pad cover. Having two or three is a bonus. Today Parents said to use doggy pee pads (really?)
My last tip is for those toddlers who love removing their diapers. Their tip? Use colorful duct tape. Once again, cloth diapers can be the answer to this in and of themselves. My tip? Use cloth diapers with hard to open (for a baby) snaps; it is usually enough to keep the diaper on and the mess inside. If you have a particularly dextrous toddler or maybe one dead set on mischief, putting the diaper on backwards should do the trick. If Houdini figures that one out I would buy them "Baby's First Magic Set" and start training them as an escape artist. Today Parents told their audience to use colorful duct tape (as if the rainbow colors make this any more palatable for anyone involved.) Just. No.
Cloth diapering can make life a lot easier (believe it or not) and the prevention of blow-outs is just one of their many benefits. Plus, look at the cute diaper in these pictures! It is a retired Fuzzibunz limited summer print (sorry no longer available).

Autism Delaware sets ribbon-cutting for new Sussex office April 29
Autism Delaware will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the official opening of the agency's new Sussex County office at 4 p.m., Tuesday, April 29. The public will be able to see the new space at 17517 Nassau Commons Blvd. Unit 1, in Lewes. Refreshments and tours will be available a half-hour before and after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The phone number at the new office remains 302-644-3410, and Autism Delaware will continue to provide a range of family support, vocational and clinical services as well as awareness and advocacy at both the state and local levels.
"We offer a wide range of programs and services," said Autism Delaware Executive Director Teresa Avery. "The nature of autism spectrum disorder is that no two diagnoses are alike. We like to say, if you know one person with autism, you know one person with autism.
"Did you know," added Avery, "that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently upped the prevalence rate to one in 68? To continue growing our services and supports, this new office in Lewes gives us the space we need to expand both staff and volunteer efforts."
For more information about Autism Delaware, go to autismdelaware.org.

11:48 24 January 2013
An exhibition staged at Buckingham Palace this summer will display some of the coronation outfits worn by the Queen.
It will be the first time the dresses, robes and gowns made for the leading royals for the historic event on June 2 1953 have been brought together in one place.
Curator Caroline de Guitaut said: "The 60th anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation is an extremely auspicious anniversary and it seems very fitting that we should mark it by bringing together this unique display.
"This will be the first time since 1953 that the outfits of the principal royal party have been displayed together.
"As Buckingham Palace itself was very much a focal point for the celebrations on Coronation Day, it is an appropriate setting for visitors to experience something of the atmosphere of that historic day."
The exhibition will be staged at Buckingham Palace from July 27 to September 29, and will also feature the outfits of the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal.
Charles was aged four when he attended the coronation and wore a cream silk shirt and lace trimmed cuffs with cream woollen trousers and completed his look with black patent shoes with buckles.
Anne was aged two and too young to attend the ceremony but still wore a cream silk and lace gown with a silk sash and silk-covered buttons. On her feet were matching cream, silk ballet pumps.
The display will also include the Duke of Edinburgh's uniform, robe and coronet, and the dresses and robes worn by the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.
Also exhibited will be a number of jewels worn by the Queen on coronation day including the diamond diadem, which features on postage stamps and some banknotes.

I have a bulleted list that includes images with align="right". Problem is that if the text is shorter than the hight of the image, the image inside the next <li> will be pushed to the left by the image of the above <li>.
I could fix it for IE by adding this:
ul li img {clear:right}
but it does not make any difference in FF.
I thougt display:block was supposed to fix this but it did not help either...
So how do I display every <li> like a block that can never float in to the next <li>?
