Masters: Woods' Drop under Review, Faces Possible Disqualification
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods' penalty drop on the 15th hole of the second round is being reviewed before play began at the Masters Saturday morning, and the four-time champion could possibly be disqualified.
An Augusta National spokesman said only that officials were reviewing the video. There was no indication when there would be a decision.
Woods' third shot from 87 yards hit the pin and caromed off the green, down the slope and into the water. Instead of going to the drop area on the other side of the water, Woods chose to take the one-shot penalty and play his fifth shot from the area of his original shot.
At question is whether that violates Rule 26-1, which states that the ball should be dropped as nearly as possible to the spot where it was last played.
If it's determined that Woods took his drop in the wrong spot, the penalty is two strokes. He could face disqualification for signing an incorrect score.
"I went back to where I played it from, but went two yards further back and I tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit," Woods said Friday after he signed for a 71, leaving him three shots out of the lead. "And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back. I felt that was going to be the right decision to take off four (yards) right there. And I did. It worked out perfectly."
Woods' fifth shot landed short of the hole and spun to a stop about 4 feet to the left of the flag. He made the putt for a bogey.
Woods began his year with a rules situation in Abu Dhabi. He took relief from an embedded lie in a sandy area covered in grass. He was entitled to a free drop except in sand, and Woods was given a two-shot penalty. He was alerted of this before he signed his card, and the two-shot penalty caused him to miss the cut.
Woods, the No. 1 player in the world, was the favorite coming into the Masters to end five years without winning a major. He has not won the Masters since 2005.

How Solar Works:
We can change sunlight directly to electricity using solar cells. Everyday, light hits your roof's solar panels with photons (particles of sunlight). The solar panel converts those photons into electrons of direct current ("DC"). The inverter converts that "DC" power (commonly used in batteries) into alternating current or "AC" power. AC power is the kind of electrical that your television, computer, and toasters use when plugged into the wall outlet.
A net energy meter keeps track of all the power your solar system produces. Any solar energy energy that you do not use simultaneous with production will go back into the electrical grid through the meter. At night or on cloudy days, when your system is not producing more than your building needs, you will consume electricity from the grid as normal. Your utility will bill you for the "net" consumption for any given billing period and provide you with a dollar credit for any access during a given period. You can carry your bill credit forward for up to one year.
With nearly 100% annual access to the sun, the high desert is one of the best places to reap all the benefits of a solar electric system. Solar Now sells and installs solar electric systems that can provide your home or commercial property with 100% electric usage compensation. The energy you produce with your solar system will work as credit to your Southern California Edison account. Instead of paying in $$$, pay your bill with solar energy! Not connected to an energy grid? We do "Off Grid" solar electric systems as well. This type of system stores energy in its bank of batteries during the day so you are able run power off of that stored energy at night.
Can't put solar panels on your roof? We customize and build car and RV ports that provide shade along with the perfect place for those panels! We can also custom design the structure to act as a patio shade cover for your back yard. Just tell us what you need and we'll take care of it.

On Thursday, April 30th Entertainment Consumers Association president Hal Halpin will speak at the Triangle Game Conference in Raleigh, NC.
Hal's presentation is billed as a conversation with Russ Pitts of The Escapist. The format sounds similar to Hal's well-received appearance with Spike TV's Geoff Keighley at PAX 08. The conference listing indictates that Hal will discuss:
The future of games as a media and a business, the role of the Electronic Consumers Association and the many key issues facing consumers today, including DRM, Net Neutrality, the economy and the ESRB.

Guy just signed with my local college back home. Anyone remember him from a couple years ago when he "signed" with Cal? Missouri Western plays in the SEC of the D-II (MIAA) so he's in a good place I guess.
I remember hearing about him, and actually read this story earlier in the day. I hope the best for him. It sounds like he's started to figure things out a bit.

A 197-page thread on the Ubisoft forums (reported on by Eurogamer) features a number of players saying the same thing: they can't play Watch Dogs after redeeming uPlay content on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
These people are referring to a number of extras that are available to those who interact with the uPlay app or via uPlay.com. As an example, players can unlock a gold-colored D50 gun and the Papavero Stealth Edition car that helps you evade detection, as well as cash bonus reward and a uPlay avatar. It's the first two of these perks that are apparently causing problems.
Some users say that booting a save, the progress bar will load to around 90 percent and then refuse to move further, leaving players stuck at the title screen. Ubisoft says that it is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.
"We're aware some of you are stuck on the loading screen," read a message posted to the official Watch Dogs Twitter account last night. "We're hard at work on isolating the problem to find a fix."
"If you're encountering that issue, please submit a ticket to http://support.ubi.com to help move forward. Thanks for understanding."
It's probably best to not mess with those uPlay extras until after Ubisoft implements a fix…
We'll have more on this story as it develops.

Formal arguments for and against changing Washougal's form of government are in the hands of the Clark County Elections Office.
Last week, the two committees — one for the change, the other against — filed statements with the elections office and Wednesday they submitted their rebuttals. The statements will appear in the voters' pamphlet ahead of the Nov. 5 general election, in which voters will decide whether they approve the change.
Now, councilmembers who support a switch to a council-manager form of government are vowing to campaign for the proposition. Meanwhile, members of the opposition committee are fronting a counter-campaign in the hopes of convincing residents to keep the city's strong-mayor form of government.
Mayor Sean Guard said Wednesday he didn't plan to campaign against the proposition. He's currently running for re-election against Earl Scott, a fire captain for the city, and he wants to focus his attention on that campaign.
He said he'll continue to oppose the proposition, which he said was built on misinformation.
It may be too early to tell whether voters will support the proposition, said Councilwoman Jennifer McDaniel, a member of the pro-proposition committee. She said she will actively work to drum up support for what's known as Proposition 1.
Councilwoman Joyce Lindsay, chairwoman of the pro-proposition committee, said she plans to distribute 2,000 brochures. The committee is raising money through a new political action committee called Washougal First.
"It's going to be a very aggressive campaign," Lindsay said.
The proposal would change the city's top administrator from an elected mayor to an appointed city manager. Supporters say it would create more professional oversight of city business, while opponents argue it would create less accountability and dissolve checks and balances. Washougal has operated with a city administrator who reports to the mayor for a decade.
Motives questioned
Earlier in the month, the city convened a special meeting to form committees to write statements for and against the proposition. The pro-proposition committee is composed of city councilors Lindsay, Brent Boger and McDaniel. The anti-proposition committee is made up of Marilyn Tyrrell, Larry White and former mayor Jeff Guard.
Arguments in the statements provided to the elections office are similar to ones that have been made since the issue of changing the form of government arose in June.
The statement against Proposition 1 says the "timing of the issue is suspect" and that a city manager would not "be accountable to the voters."
"The Mayor is elected, accountable and accessible to the citizenry," the statement reads. "Having an elected mayor provides a check and balance to council. He or she is the leader of our community."
The statement in favor of Proposition 1 points out that Washougal's mayor is responsible for a $36 million budget and between 80 and 100 employees but there are "no educational or managerial experience requirements to be mayor."
"The mayor will be elected from the council to provide political leadership," the pro-proposition statement reads. "In case of misconduct, council can remove the city manager at any time."

Synopsis: You'll never look at horses--or men--in quite the same way after seeing this startlingly original, visually stunning Icelandic saga. Set in a remote farming village that seems to exist outside of time, director Benedikt Erlingsson's episodic fable casts a darkly humorous eye on the passions, rivalries and jealousies of the locals, who take great pride in their native horses, with whom they share more than a few elemental traits.

The first Pendleton Round-Up was to be "a frontier exhibition of picturesque pastimes, Indian and military spectacles, cowboy racing and bronco busting for the championship of the Northwest." It turned out to be that and more.
For the initial show, all stores closed. "The largest crowd in Pendleton's history," 7,000 strong, showed up for the first show on September 29, 1910, a newspaper writer reported.
"The words 'Pendleton' and Round-Up' are on the lips of thousands and will continue to be for months and years to come… The Round-Up is a whirlwind success."
Grow it did. Two decades later, patrons showed up from 36 states and eight foreign countries. Following two years in which the Round-Up was not held, because of World War II, attendance climbed again, eventually reaching 50,000 or more for the four-day show.
"Success bred success and Round-Up stayed in high gear," says the book "Let 'er Buck! A history of the Pendleton Round-Up."
The key to the success of the rodeo and its many attendant activities is community participation – volunteers.
Indian participation has been a strong attraction, too, in the Round-Up arena, at Happy Canyon, in the Indian Village and in the Westward Ho! Parade.
Long before women's lib, the fairer sex got into the act at the Round-Up – cowgirls in the early days of the Round-Up could be as tough as men. In 1914 Bertha Blanchett, wife of cowboy Del Blancett, came within 12 points of winning the all-around title.
Midway through the Round-Up's colorful history, a Eugene newspaper summed it up with a characterization that remains applicable today:
"In good times and bad, Pendleton has gone on with the Round-Up. People over on the Umatilla have always been willing to take a chance. Maybe that's the real cowboy spirit. Maybe it's a little bit tougher brand of civic spirit. Anyhow, in Pendleton, the show goes on."

Economic and social rights have advanced in China since normalization of Sino-American relations, but progress on political rights has been uneven. As the U.S.-China relationship becomes increasingly important, the United States should develop a more consistent approach to human rights that keeps economic and political considerations relatively separate from human rights advocacy. Tougher, more confrontational approaches are less effective, partly because there is little support for them in the U.S., but also because U.S. soft power is at a historical low and aggressive U.S. rhetoric risks inflaming Chinese nationalism.
Jacques de Lisle, a specialist in Chinese law at the University of Pennsylvania, and Sharon Hom, executive director of Human Rights in China, debated whether greater American engagement has improved the status of human rights in China in the fifth installment of Carnegie's China debate series. Minxin Pei moderated the debate.
Policy recommendations
The United States has approached the human rights question from a variety of angles over the last two decades, with mixed results. Both participants agreed that the question is not whether the U.S. should engage with China on the human rights question, but how to do so most effectively while maintaining productive economic and political relations.
Based on the experience of government and non-governmental human rights advocates, Hom suggested the following ways for the U.S. to engage effectively:
Strategic opportunities
The U.S. should take advantage of the leverage it already has with the Chinese government, argued de Lisle, rather than seeking new ways to address human rights. China has signed but not ratified two important international conventions on human rights, and has accepted the definition of universal human rights. The U.S. can thus move the discussion toward implementation and can refute Chinese arguments that human rights are a "Western" intervention in internal Chinese affairs.

MORRISTOWN - Steubenville displayed the heart of a champion during their Ohio Division II sectional game.
Ultimately, they fell just short though as Emiley Masloski's three-pointer to tie the game was off the mark and Carrollton held on for the victory.
Emiley Masloski, who was hobbled by injury, played a game to remember in the loss. The junior guard struck for a game-high 18 points, and hit a three with 22.4 seconds left to pull her team within three at 51-48.
Carrollton's Monica Starre missed two foul shots after being fouled with 17 seconds left giving Big Red the shot at the tie. When Steubenville's final shot fell short Starre was fouled again with .6 seconds left and hit one of two for the four-point final margin of victory.
Lysiah Rice joined Masloski in double figures with 10 points. Taylor Young added eight and Abbey Taylor seven.
Starre and Savana Lowery tied for the Warriors top honors with 13 points each. Ali Poole added 11 points.

So I've been using 23x31 screens for a while and I'm sick of not being able to make larger prints with them. I've been digging around for larger screens and Victory Factory seems like the best deal since they have 30x40's for around $70. But that doesn't include shipping... any idea how much they would charge me to ship two of those to Oklahoma? I'd call but I have a feeling I'd just get griped at.
Screenprintingsupplies.com has some 38x40 screens for $93, but their shipping is free, which seems like a better deal, plus the added width of the screen would give me some more flexibility with the size of prints I can make. I guess this might seem like an obvious choice but any input would be nice since I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger on two huge screens since I don't know how cumbersome they will be to handle, clean, etc. I'm also wondering how difficult it is to manually print on a screen this large (I'm adding a 22" 80 duro squeegee... should I go bigger or smaller?), any thoughts?

World Cup sponsor Coca Cola has disclosed contingency plans to soften the celebratory tone of its sponsorship of football's showpiece event in Brazil if unrest returns to the streets.
Launching their biggest World Cup marketing campaign, Coke executive vice president Joe Tripodi told The Associated Press the soft drinks giant would react rapidly to any protests ''to make sure our messaging better reflected the mood'' of the country.
Protests unexpectedly flashed up across Brazil last year during the Confederations Cup, with some demonstrators angry at the level of spending on the World Cup compared with public services.
Tripodi says ''we hope there is no unrest, but we recognize these things happen. You always have ... to prepare for any contingency.''
That, Tripodi says, would involve changing ''the tonality of ... marketing.''

Rated 5 out of 5 by bookgirl173 Love I previously bought several of the older style that was more A-line and a good deal shorter than this one. To be honest, I was crestfallen to find that style not available because we have loved them. Still loving GH quality, I gave these a shot. They're just great and should last even longer than the old style because of the longer length. Super cute, soft as ever - my girls reach for them every night. I had to get every color! Thanks for another great children's item. April 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by TeacherMom2016 Great cotton gown Great quality and fit! Love the soft fabric. I just wish there were more colors and designs to choose from. April 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by cakanneone Smocked Ruffled Girls Nightgown My granddaughter loved this nightgown! She told me it was so soft and comfortable. I asked her how it fit and she said it was just the right size. She is 6 yrs old and loves gowns. I have given her other outfits from Garnethill and she loves the softness of the clothes. I would recommend their children's clothes for purchase. March 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Devyn Comfy PJ's My daughter won't wear any other PJ's. She loves the look and feel and I love that they are green cotton. She loves to show them off during sleepovers too! March 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoyfulMama Our Favorite Nightgowns These beautiful, lightweight nightgowns are so soft and comfortable, my girls wear them year-round - even in winter (layers!). We have purchased them for several years in a row and have gotten at least 2 years of wear out of each size. Sadly, I am ordering the largest size for my oldest this year and hope to see them expand to teen sizing or adult nightgowns of the same softness and durability. They can be pricey, so I am very happy to see them on sale. But they have proven a worthwhile investment, even at full price. Please keep making our favorite nightgowns, Garnet Hill! March 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by kailuagirl Soft and dreamy nightgown Garnet Hill is is the only place we go for nightgowns! The cut and quality of the sleepwear is great - love the eco friendliness of the Green Cotton - and the prints are great. My daughter loves them and they last and last. She is still wearing the old ones as they get shorter and shorter on her and we love this new one to add to the mix! March 4, 2016

Thirty-three year old Emilie Yellowowl of Polson is accused of stabbing her mother, Carol Mitchell, with a knife early Sunday morning at the Lakeview Village Apartments.
The property manager, David Murphy, tells NBC Montana he wasn't around Sunday morning when the incident happened but quickly learned about Yellowowls alleged altercation with Mitchell.
"She stabbed her mother in the back for whatever reason," said Murphy.
A neighbor, who also happens to be a nurse, heard a commotion in Yellowowl's apartment and called police.
"She didn't know the culture of what was going on next door. And she -- pretty brave in my book -- administered medical attention to the person and probably saved her life," Murphy explained.
Yellowowl made an initial appearance in Lake County Justice Court Tuesday. She's been charged with assault with a weapon and criminal endangerment. But this isn't Yellowowl's first brush with the law.
Court documents reveal she pleaded guilty to stabbing two other individuals with a kitchen knife multiple times in 2004. The court committed Yellowowl to the State Mental Hospital. She was released in 2008 to Mitchell, her mother.
David Murphy said Yellowowl and her son were quiet tenants outside of this isolated incident. Residents, he says, are shaken up so he's making strides to educate folks on getting to know their neighbors.
"Too many people are isolated in this world. They don't know what their neighbor is doing, don't know if they need help or not," Murphy said. "That's why we're going to take steps to overcome this."
Carol Mitchell was taken to St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, but it is unknown what her condition is at this time. Yellowowl has been released from custody and her next appearance in District Court has yet to be determined.

Hey all -
A question for the group... I'm working on the build system changes
needed for the project split. I'm currently running into a bug in
Automake 1.9.5 and older that is causing me to have to do some fairly
nasty workarounds. The bug was fixed in AM 1.9.6, which has been out
for a couple of months now.
I was wondering what people would think about us upgrading our
requirements for the AM version to 1.9.6 for developers, so that I
don't have to add a bunch of nasty workarounds into the build
system. As usual, this would only affect developers -- users that
build from tarballs do not have to have AM installed.
Comments? If not, I'll assume that means you're all cool with me
making you all upgrade ;).

On CNN this morning, Daily Beast writer Dean Obeidallah was on as a guest with CNN's Carol Costello to discuss the Saturday Night Live skit that is all the buzz this morning. It is a skit Erick wrote about. And that piece by Erick was a topic of discussion for Obeidallah, who made quite an amazing claim. This "made-up idea." After Obeidallah the "comedian" says | Read More »

No Title.
The feeling of the blade ripping my skin apart
Hiding the pain is so hard but it's the only way.
The only thing that distracts me from that pain is the blood dripping down my arms
It's almost like the tears steaming down my face.
Its you…
You are the pain in my heart.
When I see you, my skin burns.
When I dream of you, I can taste your lips.
These things are the cause of all these scars.
However, you don't want to accept the responsibility of these tears, these scars and this broken heart.

In New York City today as my beloved and beautiful Toronto is taken hostage the overpriced and unnecessary G20 summit.

Democrat Jennifer Granholm continues to lead Republican Dick Posthumus in the governor's race, but her lead is narrowing.
A survey of 600 likely voters by EPIC/MRA of Lansing gives Granholm a 55 percent to 42 percent edge, with four percent undecided. In May, Granholm led 48 percent to 29 percent when EPIC/MRA asked about a potential matchup between the pair.
The poll was conducted Sunday through Wednesday and has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
When asked, 47 percent of the respondents said they had a favorable opinion of Posthumus, the lieutenant governor, while 23 percent had an unfavorable opinion, 21 percent were undecided and nine percent didn't know his name.
Granholm, currently the attorney general, was thought of favorably by 65 percent, while 17 percent had an unfavorable opinion, 16 percent were undecided and two percent didn't know her name.

The subscriber has recently purchased and taken possession of
the well known
and is now ready to receive and entertain his friends and the public. The house
itself is one of the most spacious in this part of the state, the rooms are
large and pleasant, and the whole establishment is perhaps unequalled for the
judgement and good taste displayed in its construction and general arrangement.
The furniture is of the best description and much of it new; and
the whole has come into the hands of the present proprietor at
such a price as to enable him to furnish the
The situation of the House is elevated and airy. It is in the centre of one
of the most delightful villages in the Commonwealth, not more celebrated for
its literary institutions than for its salubrious air and the unrivalled beauty
of its scenery. Travellers from the South, and families from the Cities, will
find here all that is essential to the pleasantness of rural life in New England.
For such, a portion of his rooms are peculiarly adapted, and the subscriber
pledges his best exertions to contribute to their enjoyment, comfort and case.
from the neighbourhood will also find him prompt to wait upon, and anxious
to gratify them ; and to the travelling public generally, he only asks that
they will make a trial of his ability to please them.
His barns and sheds are large and convenient--and he hopes that Teamsters
upon this road will, find it for their interest to patronise his house.
Amherst, Mass. April, 1848. A. P. HOWE.
The Amherst House stood on the corner of Pleasant and Amity streets next to Merchants' Row in the center of Amherst, Masachusetts. That site had been the location of the Warner Tavern, Amherst's first, built around 1757. Elijah Boltwood took it over in 1806 and in 1821 he had a substantial three-story brick building erected there, with a colonnaded porch facing Pleasant Street. Boltwood ran it until 1838, when he sold it to Harvey Rockwood. He expanded it along Amity Street with an addition and also added a large basement facility with separate billiard, bar, and saloon rooms. Rockwood changed the name to "Amherst House." In 1843 he sold it to Albin P. Howe, who then issued this flyer announcing his arrival. Howe had owned a market in Amherst. He ran the Amherst House until 1867, and a succession of owners ran it until it burned to the ground in 1879.

Hey guys...I started putting these together with the start of conference play. I use some different metrics to measure teams and matchup the offense and defense with opposing defenses and offense and compare them side by side. I also have the last 10 results for games played at Lawrence and player impact scales with some more unique metrics.
A lot of the stats I use are similar to what you'd find with Ken Pomeroy or Stat Sheet.
Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments.
I attached the player impact chart so you have an idea of what I'm talking about and the kind of data I'm working with.
I'm on Twitter: @khaal53
That's pretty impressive, and perhaps time consuming? Got anything on bad charge calls?

Turn your Android into a video player with these top apps
Entertainment is undergoing a revolution — you can watch television programs and movies on your Android phone, thanks to improved graphics technology, powerful processors and plenty of RAM and storage. These mini-computers are bringing the on-demand world to wherever you happen to be. Check out these Android apps for optimal viewing of all that content.
Just for video
Hulu's not on Android yet, but you can still get broadcast TV on your phone. TV.com from CBS has programming from the CW, CNET, Showtime and CBS News and Sports, among other channels. Search your favorites and view full episodes with this free Android app.
SPB TV is another Android app for accessing on-demand television programming with several international channels and support for multiple languages. The full app is $9.95 and works on 3G or WiFi, using IP-TV to bring you news, documentaries, sports highlights and more.
LukLuk is a streaming and SD solution, playing a range of video file types, including MP4, MP3, WMA and 3GP. One major perk of this free app is that it works across all Android phones, including the G1. LukLuk works by auto-converting file types, so you can play items from your phone, or clips on the web.
Cinema is another video player for your Android, also supporting G1 devices. This free app doesn't support as many file types, as it uses whatever video decoder comes with your handset. But it is one of the only Android video players that lets you pick up where you left off during video viewing.
Videos can be great distractions for your children, if you trust the kids to hold your phone. Toddler Video Player reduces some of that anxiety, with lock options for tiny hands. The free Android app is a basic video player, but it plays clips from your phone while disabling video playback controls and your status bar.
Multimedia apps
Music by doubleTwist is a multimedia app for videos and music, acting as a rather nice media player for files saved to your phone. The closest thing you'll get to iTunes on the Android, this free app also imports content from your iTunes playlists, including ratings, playcounts, syncs and podcasts.
Meridian Player is a cool media player, with some more advanced tools for video and music. Play clips from your phone, which are searchable for easier navigation. This Android app also comes with subtitles, ratings, ID3 editing and more. Grab the full version for $2.99.
Skyfire Browser isn't a video player, but it has Flash support, especially useful if your phone doesn't have Froyo yet. Skyfire (still in beta) lets you watch content from the sites you already visit, like ESPN and Justin.tv. The free Android app also comes with an "explore" tool to find related web content, so you'll never run out of videos to watch.

My oldest daughter, Briyana, has been begging me to straighten her hair for at least a year now. I have resisted as I insist that we are a chemical and heat FREE family. I wanted my girls to embrace the beauty in their biracial hair. They have beautiful curls and very healthy hair. For Briyana's 10th birthday, however, I decided to give in and buy her a ceramic, ion infused flat iron. I took her to WalMart and finally decided on the Remington Wet2Straight flat iron with steam. It has 30 heat settings, an on-off switch for the steam, and heats in under 30 seconds. Here are a few before and after photos of my girls, ages 7 and 10:
Briyana is 10. She has shorter hair which is very thick and very kinky.
Her hair is by far the frizziest/curliest in our house.
I parted off her hair and straightened it in about 2″ sections on medium-high heat.
{The brown part is actually the sun shining on her head through the window…}
This is what we have in the end – VERY soft and manageable.
I spray their hair with oil sheen once it is straightened
and maintaining it is as simple as brushing it out.
Talia is 7. Her hair is VERY long with tight curls and she is extremely tender-headed.
Her hair is difficult to comb through and tangles easily.
It is best to comb through each section prior to straightening it.
Guiding the flat iron with a fine-tooth comb pulling the hair straight
helps prevent "crushing" which can further damage hair.
Steam helps straighten the hair more quickly without having to do
a lot of heavy pressing between the hot plates.
This is her hair in the end… a drastic transformation!! :) It's very silky and smooth.
I will be researching products designed for use on heat-treated hair in the coming days. Stay tuned for my opinion on which ones are best for biracial hair!

This appeared to be a private motor yacht, though followed by two separately driven tenders (both quite substantial vessels.) It did seem to have an ordinary (UK) red ensign on the back.
|Places and people
On the main port quay there are lines of enormous motorboats (and a very few sailing yachts), their professional crew washing, or stowing, or simply making sure nobody lays a finger on the gleaming woodwork.
The Rough Guide comments that a lot of these monuments to spending huge amounts of cash have 'union jacks', or rather red ensigns. It seems so at first, but as you look closer you see that many are from the Cayman Islands. Their ensign is defaced with a shield, and many flaunt Georgetown as their port of registry. We don't know the exact political status of the Islands (known at one time as the Tortugas for the many turtles that nested there) but their economic situation is vastly different from the UK. But we wonder how many bemused tourists think that UK plc must be coining it, to judge by the boats.
There are a few small ordinary sailing boats, tucked away amongst the grandeur at the eastern end of the quay, looking defiant and ready to go. (There's also a bigger area of marina for the hoi polloi, just around the corner, but it's still going to be mega-expensive. We didn't ask.)
We spent a hot day in the town, mostly running errands. We needed supplies, and found a monoprix that wasn't too outrageously inflated. The chandlery isn't too bad either; we acquired some good goggles (much needed for checking the anchor is set properly) and a chart of the coast towards Nice. We've got them electronically but for the sort of anchoring we're doing it can be very comforting to have the paper as well. Plus we treated ourselves to a nice lunch out (our first since Les Baux).
In theory you can call a taxi to the supermarket. In practice we made a hot and sweaty walk there. Even the cabbies in St Tropez are dressed up, with big neo-Romantic open shirt cuffs edged with lace, designer dark glasses and a lot of gold.
The Baie de Canoubiers is a useful shelter, though the holding is a bit variable. You can walk to St Tropez, though we declined the heatstroke and took the bus. In the Baie itself there is very little, save a good recycling dump and an extremely expensive shop. Most importantly, it is free, the water's clean for swimming and you are well protected from the mistral.
|Places and people
It looks like the piled spices, dried fruit and mysterious unguents of the Moroccan markets. But, no. Much more prosaic, it's sweets. Jelly babies of every size and description, piled high for the biggest pick&mix you ever saw on St Tropez waterfront.
|Places and people
Cavalaire does have this enormous beach, which stretches around the south east facing bay for about two miles. Now it's all bit up, but (in memory) only the western tip was developed 40 years ago, the rest being pretty deserted.
There are lots of these white buoys; the note in our second hand pilot book says, rather indignantly, 'NOT cheaper than the marina'. I'm sure some at least would take the weight of a cruising boat. They're certainly watched; while we were fossicking about taking pictures, out came the marina boat, offering to assist.
We politely declined and set off south-east to round Cap Lardier. Our original intention had been to possible dinghy ashore in Cavalaire, and then anchor to the east of Cap Lardier. In fact, it was only 1330, a beautiful day, and well: we sailed all round Cap Camarat and up to the Golfe de St Tropez. There were a few interesting moments when we reefed: turning into the Gulf coincided with a wind increase to about 24 knots, and putting us on a close reach. And despite our best efforts, the reefing lines weren't exactly right. Ah well! Early in the season and all that, and no harm done.
We came to rest in the Baie de Canabiers, just east of San Tropez (and free), which has reasonably good shelter from everything except gale force northerlies.
|Places and people
In 1967, the family Tanburn took the unprecedented step of a camping holiday. In the South of France! Exotic beyond belief and the source of many foundation myths. Helicopters landing on the beach. Meeting rich people. Riding Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (found filming in a tiny hill village).
Sarah doesn't remember that much of Cavalaire itself, but it was surely tiny then; just the campground, some hotels maybe, a small town. Not this marina, that's for sure. This is the entrance, which has a clearly buoyed dredged channel to it. We didn't go in: it would be ?'?38 a night for us and sentiment isn't that strong.
You can anchor off, but only someway out, and (see above) we don't have an outboard at the moment.
|Places and people
An evening visitor. Irresistible photo. (For those who don't know, Sarah's older brother is James.)
|Places and people
Ile Porquerolle is an important conservation area, and home of the Botanical Conservatory, a government project to protect Meidterranean diversity. Joel of Peregrine and Sarah walked across the island, and back via the Conservatory; it's only about 5km. The picture, when I get to load it, is the tiny creek, Gorge du Loup, showing the incredible transparency of the water.
After three days we moved round the corner to Plage de Notre Dame (actually the picture in the last post), which is slightly quieter. This is usually a slightly easier (less weedy) anchorage, but it quickly went into our all time top 3 b----ration factor places, as it took us about 15 goes to get the hook to stay caught! Lots of weed.
We moved in the company of new friends Michelle and Joel on Peregrine, who shared lots of great knowledge about their anchorages in France and Italy with us, which was really useful.
The move also introduced us to circumnavigators Warren and Jill on their restored RNLI lifeboat, sailing yacht Swn-y-mor (which means Sound of the Sea in Welsh). As we write we can't remember her age, but we think she was working up till the seventies. Warren and Jill had caught a tuna but couldn't eat it all, and generously donated three huge tuna steaks to Roaring Girl. They made four excellent meals!
One of the great upsides of cruising is the people you meet.
|Places and people
In addition to making superyachts and running space for leisure craft, La Ciotat's main claim to fame is as the place where the earliest moving pictures were made. They were first shown in Paris in 1895, and were treated with awe and astonishment there as well as London and New York. On 21 March 1899, at the Eden theatre, an audience of 250 people were amazed by a short film of a train arriving at the La Ciotat freight station. The story goes that people were so startled, they ran out of the cinema, thinking the train would come through the wall.
The Lumiere brothers, who invented the cinematograph, came from this area, and were inspired by photography and the light of the locality. The Eden is the oldest moving picture house in the world, and is now undergoing renovation as a museum.
We plan to stay here tomorrow given the forecast and leave for the Iles d'Hyere on Saturday. Classic Med: either too much wind or none at all!.
|Places and people
Inside, the church has undergone a lot of restoration. It is very lovely, though with rather more gold than Anglican-raised eyes are used to! But much more restrained than the dripping gilt and blood of Spain...
This is very much a sailors' church, filled with images of boats. This caravel mosaic is above the altar, in pride of place surmounting another statue of Mary and child.
From the ceiling hang what in any other context would be called mobiles: model sailing ships made in great detail which are motionless in the still air of the basilica. More models are displayed in glass cases in other rooms of the complex, showing ships from the founding of the city to the present day.
|Places and people
It was a great night, and stayed about 25� till the sun came up again and it got even hotter.
|Places and people
Paul arrived, as planned, at Marseille train station on Saturday afternoon. We were there to meet him, and walked back to the boat. Midsummer night is traditionally a major music festival across France, and Marseilles celebrates with gusto. We wandered the streets of the district known as Le Panier into the wee small hours.
The area was the old town until systematically destroyed by the Nazis in 1944. It was rebuilt in the '50's, and there are many small streets, unpassable for vehicles, and steep stairs clambering up the old cliffs of the defensible creek that attracted the Greek colonists who founded the first city here in 600BC.
At every corner, in every square, there was music. Funk, hip-hop, rap, salsa, rock, fusion. Guitars, accordions, ouds, drums of every shape and size, sax and trumpet and whistle. DJ's spinning, people dancing, drinking, talking, kissing.

22/05/2008, Les Baux: Cathedral des Images
Five minutes walk from Les Baux is the amazing Cathedral des Images, an old limestone quarry. The removal of great blocks of stone created a series of enormous galleries which look as if they are themselves built and dressed, but are the bare walls left behind by the quarrymen.
For some 30 years, this has been the home of an annual spectacle, commissioned and curated by the private owners. This year, it is an homage to Van Gogh, who of course spent some time in the region, particularly at Arles and St Remy de Provence, both of them close to here.
The start of the exhibition is a series of photographic reproductions of his self-portraits. The copies are very high quality. Next to each one, there is a reproduction of a detail, usually an eye. These capture the complexity of colour and brush work, the astonishing greens and blues and purples that create the auburn stubble across a cheekbone, or the sallow curve of the eye socket.
From here, you enter an enormous cavern with scattered pillars. Great projections of paintings play across these surfaces, changing in a sedate dance to Beethoven and Mozart. You stand in the astonishing yellow of the cornfields, disappear into the starry night. Above you the great heads of Provencal people bend down to look at the gawping audience, listen to the running school children. The delicate faces of Chinese and Japanese women, themselves details beside a window or behind a still life, peer across the dark floor.
A stunning experience, which for both of us gave a new understanding of colour. A new feel for how it might be used and how the artist transmogrifies the bright poppy leaves or threatening clouds. We certainly gained an understanding that we wouldn't have got from seeing the originals (some of which we have seen!), because of the detail, the quality of reproduction and the sheer scale.
A must-see if you are in the region, and if the Cathedral des Images expositions are always this good, then put Les Baux and the quarry on your list any time you come this way.

Juvenile Leafy Sea Dragon, February 1999, 5-6 weeks old 100mm long.
Sure, one of the best parts of travelling is the freedom to reinvent and reinvigorate yourself. But what happens if you take it too far and pretend to be someone you're not? It's a risky game. While most of us don't masquerade as sportsmen to get free drinks from short-sighted, drunk soccer fans, most travellers at some time pretend to be someone else when they hit the road.
The engine of the Dash 8-200 aircraft was shut down according to standard operating procedures and the plane landed at Lord Howe Island within five minutes of its scheduled time, the spokeswoman said. She added that Qantas engineers were being flown out to the island to access the plane. Qantas flies a daily return flight from Sydney to Lord Howe Island from Tuesdays to Fridays. It runs several flights to and from Sydney to Lord Howe Island on weekends.

George and Caroline are really great couple. Nice conversation and fantastic availability for helping us. Caroline even tought me how to cook Porridge and George had the kindness of picking up us from the tube because we got kind of lost in the evening we arrived.
The house is lovely, very clean and confortable. The neighberhood is traditionally english with a beautifull garden that we have to cross to pick up the bus, just few minutes walking. The bed-room is very cosy and has a fantastic window to a charming garden. Bathroom is next door. Everything was just perfect. The breakfast was delicious.
We will definatly return the next time we will visit London.
George & Caroline are amazing!
They are very kind, engaging and interesting - it was a great pleasure for us to meet them. Their lovely house feels like a second home, is very clean, lovely furnished and you can reach the city with the buses very fast. If you like painings, you will be thrilled by the beautiful aquarells they have. But even if they lived in a tent, I would stay with them when I am in London. We wish they were our neighbors back home so we could see them more often. You could not dream of better hosts. We are looking forward to seeing you again in London, Vienna or wherever our paths may cross (hopefully soon) again :)
P.S. If you want to try something new, ask them for their special breakfast - I totally fell in love with it and it was the first on my shopping list back home...
We have just arrived home after a very enjoyable stay in London where we were greeted at George and Caroline.
Even though the sun was not at the rendezvous, kindness and service to our guests made us forget the Londoners drops.
We were all delighted with our stay in the home, the quality of the B & B breakfast in the conservatory and the mastery of our language by George who made our travel easier and our visits.
If you are planning a trip to London, do not hesitate one second, contact ...

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
Are there any chances that US consulate visa officer would ask her questions on her F1 visa status when she will attend for her H4 visa interview? Any chances of denial or pending status due to her current visa status?If so what would be the best approach?
No, she didn't. I was just being curious as she will be changing her status from f1 to h4.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to assist you.
However, they'd be incredibly foolish not to ask for a list of medications.
No, there is no such law.
If they did not ask, and it turns out that you were on a medication that they were unaware of (let's say you took something over the counter, or that you got a prescription from a different doctor), then the doctor could end up prescribing something that he shouldn't have, or misdiagnosing something.
That could ultimately lead to bad consequences for you as a patient, and it could lead to a lawsuit against the doctor.
Accordingly, it is wise for the doctor's staff to ask for the list of medications.
I went to the doctor and I stated on the request form that he was the one giving me the medication and all they had to do look it up in my records. they SAID it is a HIPPA law and until I complete the list the doctor will not see me and ask me to leave and come back when the list is complete.
While it is not actually required by HIPAA, it is certainly the doctor's prerogative to refuse to see you until you provide the list of drugs, even if the list would only be comprised of the drugs that the doctor himself prescribed.
My guess is that the doctor and his staff just say that the law requires it so that the law can be the scapegoat and patients do not get angry with them.
But HIPAA does not require a patient to give a doctor a list of medication before the doctor can see the patient. That is simply not required.
Does that answer your question?

By Rob Nikolewski │ New Mexico Watchdog
SANTA FE – It's not a sagebrush rebellion, but it's close.
Five western states — Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming — have set up legislative studies or task forces to consider transferring immense tracts of federal land to the control of state governments.
And there's talk of exploring the issue here in New Mexico, too.
"We have 100 years of use, and we don't want to change that," state Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-Alamogordo told New Mexico Watchdog. "It's not a land grab. We don't want to privatize the land."
But critics, especially environmentalists, scoff at the idea.
"It's laughable," said John Horning, the executive director at WildEarth Guardians New Mexico. "Public lands are a birthright for all Americans … New Mexicans don't own them, Americans own them."
As in all states west of the Rockies, New Mexico has huge tracts under the control of the U.S. government. More than 40 percent of New Mexico is federally owned.
Supporters of the plan claim the federal government has done a lousy job managing the land and point to the explosion of wildfires they say have been made worse by federal land policy. They also say the chronic federal budget deficits and repeated trips to the fiscal cliff will only make things worse.
Plus, advocates say, transferring public lands to states could create a big economic boom.
A study from an economist in Wyoming estimated transferring the land from the feds to the state of New Mexico would lead to the creation of between $600 million and $1 billion in additional tax money simply through additional jobs and production in the oil and natural gas industries.
But critics say the state budget already is cash-strapped and adding the responsibilities of having New Mexico oversee huge swaths of land is unrealistic.
"I think the state is probably in over its head, acquiring federal land and managing it," Horning said.
A 2012 fiscal impact report estimated it would cost New Mexico $180 million a year to manage the lands, Herrell said.
"But if that's the case, and we knew we could generate $400 million-$500 million (per year), we'd clearly have enough money to manage the lands and put money back into the schools, our services and some of the programs we need to take of in the state," she said.
Herrell said the proposal for New Mexico would affect U.S. Forest Service land and the Bureau of Land Management, but would not touch designated wilderness areas, national and state parks, Indian reservations or property controlled by the Department of Defense, such as the White Sands Missile Range, which is operated by the U.S. Army.
Paul Gessing, the president of the Rio Grande Foundation, a free-market think tank based in Albuquerque, said opening federal land to resource development "is not and should not be an open invitation to pillage the land."
"Rather, oil and gas can be accessed in an environmentally sensitive manner while some of those revenues could be used in prevent forest fires, improve wildlife habitat, and allow the public to access and recreate on those lands in ways that are not currently possible," Gessing said.
"I don't think we should be giving away public lands," Horning said. "I think it's a large core of our identity in the West to have large, open spaces that are held in trust for all Americans."
Western states have had an uneasy relationship with the feds and that relationship flared earlier this year when the Obama administration seized millions from states in energy and mineral royalties from development on federal lands in those respective states, citing sequestration. Wyoming ($53 million) and New Mexico ($26 million) where the hardest hit.
Western governors howled and after U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-New Mexico, U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, and U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, introduced legislation on Capitol Hill challenging the Obama administration's authority to take the money in the first place, the administration reversed itself and is returning the money.
"This problem should never have arisen as the money rightly belongs to the people of New Mexico," Gessing wrote in a paper advocating the transfer.
"Right now New Mexico is giving 50 percent of the (mineral and energy royalties on federal land) to the federal government," Herrell said. "In fact, it's more than 50 percent because we're paying a small management fee."
But another issue to consider is whether it's legal for states to transfer the land from the federal government.
The Enabling Act of 1910 that allowed New Mexico and Arizona admitted into the Union contains language deferring public land issues to the federal government.
The act states "that the people inhabiting said proposed state do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated and ungranted public lands lying within the boundaries thereof."
Citing similar language, an environmental group calls a potential move in Utah, "almost certainly unconstitutional." In a statement, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance said supporters of public land transfers are "prepared to waste millions of taxpayer dollars in their quixotic quest to send the federal government 'a message.' "
But Herrell counters by saying, "We can open up some opportunities for gas and oil and get out from under the burden of heavy regulations."
Last year, Herrell co-sponsored a bill to explore transferring public lands to the state, working on bi-partisan legislation with Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Espanola, to set up a task force. The bill made it through one committee, but withered on the vine in the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Herrell said she plans on introducing the bill again in January and emphasized the legislation would not involve a land transfer, but, instead, set up a task force to explore the issue.
"Let's have that dialogue," she said. "Do the risks outweigh the rewards for the state of New Mexico? Clearly, there's a revenue benefit but at the end of the day, can we do it? I think, yes. I think it's worth looking into."
