Salle La Fleche fencer Rigg earns two bronze medals at provincials
Salle La Fleche fencer Andrew Rigg, right, is all smiles as he shares the bronze side of the podium during the provincial fencing championships.
Nothing could foil local Salle La Fleche and other Island fencers from obtaining top-notch results in the B.C. Fencing provincials held at the Richmond Oval.
Andrew Rigg, who lives in Nanaimo but fences with the Salle La Fleche group in Duncan, achieved the highest club placing with bronze medals in both Y12 and Y14 sabre.
Just missing the medals was Neav Murphy-Williams with a fifth-place finish.
Shiming Huang from Duncan finished eighth in both the cadet foil and junior (U21) mixed foil while Island rival Isaac Carter-Hughes from Victoria CCFC placed third in cadet foil and fifth in the junior mixed foil events ahead of him.
"All fencers had fun and look forward to the next season of fencing,'' noted Salle La Fleche's Georgia Newsome.

Sergio Perez set the early pace for Force India as the final pre-season test of Formula 1 2014 kicked off in Bahrain.
Mercedes-engined cars picked up where they left off after last week's four-day test at the Sakhir circuit, locking out the top three spots on the timesheet, while reigning champion Red Bull showed signs of improvement after a torrid pre-season so far.
Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest lap by a Renault-powered car so far to go fifth quickest, but the RB10 spent plenty of time in the garage being cut, hammered and fettled in between runs.
Perez's 1m35.290s best lap was more than a second clear of Nico Rosberg's Mercedes, which set the fastest time overall of last week's test.
The German clocked over 60 laps this morning, comfortably more than any other driver, and lapped over a second faster than Kevin Magnussen's McLaren, which was third quickest.
Adrian Sutil enjoyed a far more productive start than he managed in last week's test, where a chassis problem all but eliminated his final day of running.
The German managed 31 laps and wound up less than half a tenth behind Magnussen.
Valtteri Bottas rounded out the top six for Williams, while Daniil Kvyat went seventh fastest for Toro Rosso and completed the first practice start for a car powered by Renault.
Ferrari completed another quiet morning in Bahrain, managing only 12 laps with Kimi Raikkonen at the wheel. The 2007 world champion crashed in the closing stages of last week's test and the Scuderia has yet to complete a race run with the F14 T.
Pastor Maldonado brought the first part of the session to an early halt when the 'twin-tusk' Lotus E22 stopped at Turn 8. Caterham's Kamui Kobayashi was responsible for the only other red flag so far today, when he stopped early on with technical problems in the CT05.
Marussia appeared to overcome the IT problems that plagued it last week, as Max Chilton completed 16 laps and set the 10th fastest time, just half a second adrift of Maldonado's Lotus.

Associated Press
SEATTLE — An injured Washington state woman has filed suit in a Dec. 30 bus crash that killed nine people and injured 38 others on a highway in northeastern Oregon.
The Oregonian reported that 74-year-old Eun Sook Uhm of Lynnwood sued the bus company that organized her trip, Mi Joo Tour &Travel of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The federal court suit filed Tuesday seeks unspecified damages for Uhm and her husband, who was not on the bus when it crashed in icy conditions on Interstate 84. She remains hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with injuries described in the lawsuit as "severe and permanent."
The suit alleges the tour company allowed the bus driver to work without proper rest.
Oregon State Police continue their investigation. The tour company has been barred from operating in the United States and Canada.
A tour company lawyer has said the driver had plenty of sleep before the crash. Lawyer Mark Scheer said black ice was a major factor.
Several other lawsuits have been filed.

Good-looking hardware. Solid battery life. Expandable memory. Runs 250,000 Android apps. Free integrated turn-by-turn navigation.
Slow camera. Android's feature options aren't as clear as those in iOS.
Bottom Line
Aiming directly at the iPod touch, the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 gives you all the power and features of a popular Android phone, just without the phone.
There's no Android equivalent to iTunes, Apple's one-stop-shopping app for organizing, purchasing and playing media on your Mac or PC. Instead, the Galaxy Player offers a bunch of overlapping, confusing options.
To sync with your home computer, you can use the free DoubleTwist app, or Samsung's Kies app, or Windows Media Player, or drag and drop; none of those options are as seamless as iTunes.
The Android Market app store offers ways to buy music (through the Amazon MP3 app), rent movies (through Google's Video app) and stream video (through Netflix), but none of those are preloaded and the purchase paths aren't as clear as on the iPod. Also, there's no legal way I could find to actually buy movies.
This is all old news to Android users, and many prefer this way to Apple's: For instance, if you have a library of XVID-format video files, dragging and dropping to the Galaxy Player is superior to transcoding through iTunes. But it's all just not as simple for beginning users.
The Galaxy Player 4.0 supports an impressive set of audio and video codecs. Videos play at up to 720p (but not 1080p) resolution in MP4, H.264, WMV, XVID, and DIVX formats; music plays in MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV and OGG, as long as it isn't encumbered with copy protection. The music player offers a virtual seven-band equalizer with a dozen presets, but of course the biggest factor in music quality will be the headphones you use. Samsung ships the typical lousy earbuds in the box. There's no way to dock or connect the player to a bigger screen to watch video on a TV.
The Galaxy Player's 3.2-megapixel rear camera is significantly sharper than the iPod touch's 0.7-megapixel camera for still shots, but it takes an irritatingly long 1.7 seconds to lock in focus. Videos are smooth at 720-by-480 resolution and 30 frames per second indoor and out, but the iPod can capture higher-definition 720p video.
The Galaxy Player had no trouble connecting to our Bluetooth headphones to play back music or video, and lip sync stayed intact.
The Player managed 8 hours, 8 minutes of video playback with Wi-Fi on and the screen brightness set to max. That's considerably longer than the 5 hours and 32 minutes of video playback we got with the iPod touch under the same conditions.
The Galaxy Player might be the right portable media player for me. But it might not be for you.
At our house, right now at least, we're an Android family. We've spent some money on, and downloaded, Android apps. We like to have the same platform so we can discuss apps we like, or be familiar enough with each other's devices to be able to protect and troubleshoot them. If I were to get a handheld for my daughter to play games on (but not make phone calls!), the Samsung Galaxy Player would be perfect.
If you're an iTunes family, on the other hand, you'd obviously go with the iPod touch. Are your friends suggesting great apps from their iPhones that you'd love to run? Get a touch. Want to buy movies and TV shows from Apple, in a quick and easy way? The iPod touch is for you. But the difference is less about which device is better, and more about which ecosystem, Apple or Android, fits you best.
The Samsung Galaxy Player is on par with the iPod touch in many ways. It's not as good in some (lower-resolution screen) and better in others (sharper rear camera.) Ultimately, the iPod touch narrowly retains our Editors' Choice designation because of its appeal to less ambitious users. Although there are more options for various features on Android, Apple's OS makes the paths to using its features much clearer.

Ticket #273 (new defect)
PyYAML doesn't dump python dictionary correctly if it only contains strings, numbers and/or booleans
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Here's a clear example of what's happening:
>>> mydata = {'person' : 'jesse', ... 'hobby' : 'python', ... 'employed' : True, ... 'family' : ['wife', 'toddler']} >>> >>> print yaml.dump(mydata) employed: true family: [wife, toddler] hobby: python person: jesse >>> mydata = {'person' : 'jesse', ... 'hobby' : 'python', ... 'employed' : True, ... 'family' : 'wife'} >>> print yaml.dump(mydata) {employed: true, family: wife, hobby: python, person: jesse}
So with a list (and probably any other object) it performs as expected, but with only strings, numbers and/or booleans it doesn't output the yaml document correctly.

THE REEF: The gilimanuk bay is where the ferry to and from java lands, and narrow Bali's Strait.

THE REEF: The fringing reef surrounding Tepekong, Mimpang, and Biaha have the most untropical appearance of any in Bali, Fierce currens keep the coral and gorgonians growth generally low and coarse, and the chilly water and stark rock structures are starlingly at odds with the warm, quite lushness one expects in the tropics, whether above water or below.

Brind'Amour OK, back at practice
Posted May 17, 2009
Rod Brind'Amour may be sporting a shiny new black eye, but it's not enough to keep him out of practice.
The Hurricanes Captain skated Sunday in preparation for the opening game of Carolina's Eastern Conference finals showdown with Pittsburgh.
Brind'Amour took a puck to the face late during the Canes' Game 7 win over Boston and did not return for the overtime period, but says he feels fine now.
That's no suprise to his coach. Paul Maurice has grown accustomed to Brind'Amour's tendency to play with pain.
"I just remember watching him limp out of the room his first year and finding out later he'd been playing on a broken foot for six weeks," Maurice said. "And he just didn't bother telling anybody because it 'wasn't that bad.'"
Brind'Amour has seen his minutes dwindle during the post-season after being relegated to fourth-line duty. But his presence on that line gives the Canes balance, and his defensive presence will be needed in the Penguins series.
Pittsburgh tends to double-shift stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal, giving them time on the fourth line, so Brind'Amour will be going toe-to-toe with several of the game's top players.

Jerusalem (Oct. 13)
The United States consulate in Jerusalem was bombed today in what was thought to be an Arab reply to the pro-partition statement made at Lake Success on Saturday by U.S. delegate Herschel Johnson.
The blast slightly injured two mail-room employees–Ethel Delevi of Boston and Miriam Pilpel, a Palestinian–and damaged a car in the consulate courtyard. A door leading from the courtyard was blown in and the hallway littered with plaster.
When the explosion occurred, Consul Robert MacAtee was conferring with the High Commissioner on measures to safeguard the consulate. He rushed from Government House to the scene of the blast. Later, he met with high police officers to plan further security precautions. An armed guard has been stationed around the consulate for the past few days.
An official visit to Baghdad by a Congressional sub-committee has been cancelled as a result of the Iraq Government's displeasure at the stand taken by the U.S. delegate on the UNSCOP report, according to dispatches reaching here from that capital. Receptions by the government and the U.S. Embassy had been scheduled.

Extremely upset with the current treatment from Jess at Dipadees. I have been swimming my two children there for almost 5 years (since they were 5 months) taking a short break due to having a third baby. Recently asked for a Nippers document to be signed. I was told not a problem to bring it in person and Jess is happy to sign. When I got there I was made to feel like an inconvenience, they had no time for me, had to ask a few times for Jess to even come out and then said she wouldn't sign it. Sent a civilized email when I got home and also requested certificates that my children haven't received, no reply so sent a follow up email a week later, 2 weeks on and still no reply. Very frustrated and disappointed with the way I have been treated. Needles to say my children will not be returning to this swim school.

On Nov. 16, the Tokay High School Tiger Marching Band competed in the Northern California Band Association's Lincoln Review of Champions in Stockton, where they won the first-place trophy in the Class 2A parade competition. Competing bands are judged on several categories, including music, showmanship, marching and maneuvering, inspection (of uniforms, personal appearance and instruments), and drum major. It has been 19 years since Tokay won first place.
Led by Drum Major Miranda Dorado, the Tokay band added new marching techniques to their formation changes, which brought extra applause and "wows" from the audience as well as impressing the judges.
The Marching Tigers have won trophies in the parade category in their class at every band review they competed in this fall. On Sept. 28, they competed in Antioch at the Delta Band Review, winning a third-place trophy. On Oct. 26, they won another third-place trophy at the Foothill Band Review in Antioch. Napa was the venue for the Vintage Band Review on Nov. 9, where the Marching Tigers' improvements paid off with a second-place trophy.
The Tokay High Band performs in many community events annually, including performances at Barnes & Noble in Stockton and the Lodi Parade of Lights, as well as street fairs and charity events. They are directed by Rob Barnes.

Two points worth noting: 1. Robby pointed out that I forgot to compile my code when I ran the script. That was a critical omission on my side and it eliminates point -A- from my list of negative observations. 2. I forgot to mention the most amazing aspect of my final test run with the students. For their final, we ran their server and my clients. In addition to regular clients, I had nasty ones and bad ones. I wrote one nasty one especially for the C++ project. This client would send the following kind of XML to the server to initiate the dialog: <register name=" ... 1,000,000 newlines ... some regular chars ... 1,000,000 more newlines ... " /> As you can see, it's regular XML but a lot of work. The amazing point: -- the C++ project is the ONLY one (other than my own server) that 'survives' this message. (It fails to truncate the name and thus generates too much network traffic in the end. On occasion it may fail for this reason. To be precise, it times out.) -- ALL other projects (Java, Python) failed on this one. The Java and Python libraries are so clumsy that the programmers naturally make mistakes (five different mistakes in six temas). For full disclosure, the C++ hacker is a systems PhD student (uncommon for this course) and is a Google Chrome part-time developer. -- Matthias

Falmouth Town have signed highly-rated defender Hugh Howlett from Helston Athletic.
The influential centre half was an integral part of Helston's side last season, helping the Blues to the final of the Cornwall Senior Cup, and runners-up spot in division one west.
Falmouth manager John Dent said: "Hugh being here strengthens us all round. He can play as a holding midfielder screening the back four as well as a defender.
"He's a good player to have around off the pitch too. Hugh's a big character, which I think will help."
Howlett is likely to play some part in Falmouth's crunch match against fellow strugglers Cullompton Rangers at Bickland Park on Saturday - seen as a must-win if Town are to relieve some of the pressure on them at the bottom of the SWPL premier division.
Dent said he felt his side were in good shape going into the game.
"I feel like I've got a squad of 15 or 16 players now who are all capable of starting. We're slowly getting stronger and stronger," he said.
Blues boss Sid Taylor said he was disappointed to see Howlett leave.
"Hugh's a friend off the pitch as well, so I'm obviously sad to see him leave, but he's going up a standard, I suppose.
"He's been offered good money to go there, and when you've got no budget like we have at Helston it's difficult to keep your players - as I'm finding out this season."
Taylor added: "To be honest I'm surprised he's not gone sooner. In my opinion he's probably one of the best defenders in the county. I wish him well and hope he can help them stay up."
Taylor also spoke of his surprise that the defender would choose a relegation battle in the premier division over a promotion hunt in division one west, but Dent said his recent signings were under no illusions about the situation at Bickland Park.
"You look at the players who are coming in, and none of them have come in with rose coloured glasses on. They know it's going to be a battle, but now we're playing teams around us it's a chance to pick up some points."
Howlett's loss comes as a further blow to Helston after news this week that top-scorer Mark Goldsworthy is poised for a move to St Austell - despite turning down an approach from the club earlier in the season.
Taylor said he first heard of the news from Lilywhites boss Phil Lafferty, but added that he'd since been told that St Austell players had been speaking to Goldsworthy about a potential move on social networking sites.
"It's a strange one this," said Taylor, "because other than one phone message from Phil Lafferty I've heard nothing about it.
"He said that his players had been in contact with Goldie on Facebook and were trying to tap him up, and that it was nothing to do with him.
"But they've already put seven days in for him back in December and he turned them down, so as far as I know they can't come back in for him.
"Then I hear that he's training with them this week and playing for them on Saturday. I'm gobsmacked really because he's a Helston player and he hasn't had permission to leave.
"I got him back from Truro and thought that would be the end of it, with the way we've looked after him, but apparently not.
Taylor added: "I've fought tooth and nail to keep him at the club but instead, just when we thought we'd got over injuries and losing a couple of players, this happens. I think the Cornwall FA need to do something about it, perhaps introduce a transfer window, because it's just ridiculous."
If Goldsworthy does move he will be ineligible to play in either the Throgmorton or Senior Cups, having appeared in both competitions for Helston.
Meanwhile Falmouth manager John Dent has revealed that striker Kayne Trevaskis has left the club and rejoined Perranporth.
Trevaskis signed for Falmouth from Penryn in December, but made the decision to quit Bickland Park after just three games.
Dent explained: "Kayne wanted a guaranteed starting spot every week and I just couldn't do it.
"He didn't want to stay and fight for a place, which I understand. I'd have liked to see him stay and fight for his place, but we parted on good terms.
Town boss Dent 'disappointed' by Taylor claims over Howlett move

And someday, I hope to have the free time to 1) seriously play with Fluxus, and 2) teach a course where Fluxus plays a critical part, perhaps in conjunction with some cool peeps in a music department. That said, if the conversation about lifting an existing, substantial project into a functional reactive paradigm in PLT Scheme could happen in the open, I think that would be great. There would be much to be learned just by being able to follow the conversation. My 4 cents*, Matt (I think Dave is in the UK, and 2p goes a long way over in the US right now...)

The environmental benefits of investment in agricultural science and technology: an application of global spatial benefit transfer
Food security is a major current and future policy concern. The world population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050 and continuing growth in economic output and incomes is expected to result in changing food consumption patterns. In particular the wider adoption of 'Western' diets will result in both higher calorie intake and greater meat consumption. Continuing climate change is expected to add further pressures to agricultural production. This paper presents the results of a global analysis funded by the TEEB study on the environmental benefits of investment in agricultural knowledge, science and technology, specifically in terms of closing the gaps between developing and developed country agricultural productivity. The results show that by easing pressures on land use change on terrestrial biomes (forests and grasslands), and the ecosystem services they provide, investment in agricultural science and technology provides environmental benefits of US$161.3bn per annum in 2050. Between 2000 and 2050 these benefits amount to US$2,964bn in addition to US$6,343bn in carbon benefits and compare to costs of US$5,68bn

Jewel Ceiling Fans by Westinghouse
My grandmother had a ceiling fan much like this one - similar shape, but far less attractive - over her kitchen table for years until we begged for an upgrade. She went with something more modern, but Westinghouse's Jewel Ceiling Fan is actually very beautiful in blue and chrome (or white and chrome). And as a nod to modernity, you can get yours with a remote control, rather than a pull-string.

Cape Town - He pulls her by the hair, roughly throws her on the floor then slaps and kicks her.
The girl tries to fight back, but the enraged teacher overpowers her, hitting her continuously with open hands while the girl's classmates try to pull teacher and pupil apart.
This is the video clip posted on Youtube which depicts a male teacher at Hoërskool Patriot in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga, assaulting a Grade 9 pupil in full view of other pupils in the classroom. The incident happened last Friday.
The two wrestle on the ground with the girl trying to fight back until fellow classmates pull them apart.
While the teacher has since been suspended, some pupils - commenting on Facebook - believe the assaulted girl had "provoked the teacher".
An older woman, who appears to be a teacher at the school, also commented on the Facebook post, cautioning the pupils to first look at both sides of the story before taking sides.
This was in relation to some posts by pupils who said the teacher mentioned was known for contravening Section 10 of the SA Schools Act 84 of 1996. The act stipulates that "no person may administer corporal punishment at a school to a learner".
But a pupil who witnessed the incident indicated that the teacher had lost his cool after the pupil refused to leave the classroom and verbally abused the teacher.
Responding to posts by her pupils, a teacher whose identity is known to The Star wrote: "At least some people realise that there is more than one side to this story. Thnx (sic) guys for being such special Patties. Not saying it was right, just saying find out what the whole story is and then decide. It could have happened to any one of the teachers. We suffer the same provocation daily."
The teacher could not be reached for comment and attempts to interview the assaulted girl and her family failed, with a relative who had agreed to talk to The Star switching off her phone by late on Thursday.
Mpumalanga Department of Education spokesman Jasper Zwane confirmed that the teacher has been suspended pending an investigation.
"The incident happened on Friday. We have suspended the teacher and we are currently providing counselling to the learners concerned.
"We want to indicate to the public that corporal punishment is prohibited from our schools. We condemn the incident in the strongest possible terms," Zwane said.
Also condemning the incident was Equal Education, an organisation that advocates for quality and equality in the education system.
"Corporal punishment at schools is unconstitutional and illegal in South Africa and constitutes a criminal offence. It is imperative that schools are places of safety for learners. The Department of Basic Education must conduct an urgent and thorough investigation. A criminal charge of assault must be laid against the teacher in addition to his dismissal," said organisation chairperson Yoliswa Dwane.
The eMalahleni incident comes just two months after a teacher was fired for beating a pupil with a broomstick for missing school. In that incident, the child died eight days later from his injuries, said Zwane.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hi, that is great that you are trying to help this little kitty. Sometimes they do drink very rapidly and they can aspirate liquid which can be dangerous. If it was only a very small amount then she will probably be ok but it does put her at risk for the development of pneumonia. Make sure when you are feeding her that you do not hold her all the way back on her back the way human babies are held. So, hold her at about a 45 degree angle from totally upright that way she will not be likely to aspirate.Also make sure the hole in the bottle is not so big that she can suck out too much at one time but big enough that she is getting fed. She should be fed every 4-6 hours. If the weird sound is now gone hopefully she cleared the excess fluid out. If this ever happens again you can turn her upside down and sometimes that will help them clear. Just be very careful when handling her. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can answer about your new little kitten. Sincerely, XXXXX XXXXX will wait until you read this to let me know if you need any other questions answered.
She drinks indeed very rapidly, she can only drink for herself since today. She "climbs" onto the bottle and is so eager to drink. We fed her with a tube (learned from the vet) before. She is miauwing at the moment and seems fine.How can you know how much fluids the are in her lungs?Should I go to an emergency vet?
I am afraid to go to bed, can she become stuffy (if i say this correctly)? and in what time-span?
There is no way to know without doing an xray of her lungs. Ideally, yes it would be best to have her seen to make sure she did not aspirate. If it does look like she did then they could find a safe antibiotic to give her based on her weight and age.
Since this just happened, an xray wold be the best possible way to know.
It is night in Holland, should it be ok to go tomorrow morning?
Yes, as long as her breathing is ok now and she is stable now that should be fine. It is night here too. 9:30 PM here. I sure hope your little kitty will be ok. Can I answer any other questions for you?
ok, also late. Can you describe the perfect size to make a hole in the bottle? because I am afraid it will happen again and like to have the correct size.
This is hard to describe but I would say about the size of an ink pen tip. Does that help?
If she becomes stuffy, I will call an emergency vet. But what can I do in the meantime?
Yes that does help, thanks.
She now drinks about 18 ml in about 8-9 seconds, is that extremely fast?
Really the most important thing when feeding is to hold her at a 45 degree angle from upright instead of laying her way back...that helps prevent aspiration. Keep her warm. I usually use a card board box and fill it full of warm felt blankets so the kitty can make a little nest to keep warm.You can also put a heating pad on LOW UNDER the card board box. It can never be in contact with the kitten as this can cause very severe horrible burns. Also in bottom of box need at least 4 layers of blankets and then 1 light blanket she can snuggle under.You can also cover top of box with towel to keep heat in.
I fed her in that degree, but i am afraid that when i pulled the bottle away, I pulled it up high....
Gotcha, I understand. Don't be too hard on yourself as this happens to us professionals sometimes too. Do you have any other questions for me or is there any other way I can be of assistance to you?
Only one, and then I will leave you to your evening .She now drinks about 18 ml in about 8-9 seconds, is that extremely fast?
That seems about right because that is a little over a half an ounce.....I would just pull the bottle away when she gets too crazy. Just be careful when you do that. Don't worry about how many questions you ask. I am here to help you until you feel totally comfortable.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your answers and hopefully it will not happen again and she will get better.
Best of luck to you and I hope your kitty has a very long and healthy life with you. :)) Let me know if you ever need any other advice. Just ask for DrJ.......I love kitties!
Okay I will do :) because I try to help orphanage kittens and place them with new owners.Thank you!
I do rescue also......always have. You should see my house. with my kitties! Cheers!
Haha, same here, I have 6 kittie srunning around and some older cats :) Best of luck to you too!!

First review from a reasonably experienced cruiser: Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by Medeba
Overall Member Rating
First review from a reasonably experienced cruiser
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Istanbul
We came away from the cruise thinking it was one of the best we've been on. I base this mainly on the general atmosphere and friendliness on the ship; the fact that the weather was very kind to us; and the ports were great, many of which we had never visited.
We loved the daily show hosted by Cruise Director JC with Mark as his sidekick. They were a brilliant duo. I don't think we have ever laughed so much at a daily show. If we weren't able to see the whole show before breakfast we always caught up sometime during the day. One of the good things about the daily show was that you were introduced to the entertainers (musicians, illusionists, comedians) who were due to give performances that day in the theatre. This encouraged us to go to shows we might otherwise More have missed and we thought they were really good. We particularly liked Nicola Loud (violinist) and Steve Caouette (comedian.) The crew talent show (more below) hosted by the Cruise Director was very entertaining. I have since heard JC singing on video clips on the net and he should seriously consider doing a set. JC was also an excellent host at the Cruise Critic Connections Party. We also liked the timing of the two theatre shows, 7 and 9pm which seemed to work well around dinner arrangements.
What can I say about Captain Tasos? He was FAB. Obviously a charismatic leader who encouraged his officers and crew to mix with the passengers; he endeared himself to the passengers with his witticism and his dancing. Yes, he joined in with his officers in a Greek dance on the crew talent show! I have never known a Captain to be so visible. We need more Captains like him.
We were last on the Constellation in 2009 and she has undergone a recent refurbishment which we thought was wonderful. Considering the cruise was at the tail end of the European season the ship was remarkably spick and span. We particularly liked the Reflections Lounge where the Elite members had their evening aperitifs.
As usual on Celebrity cruises, our stateroom was excellent. Our attendant, Joachim couldn't have been more attentive and very quickly sorted out a problem concerning some items sent to the laundry but which didn't return! The Maitre D in Blu should be given a bonus; he was unable to find us a table for half an hour one day so, to kill the time, we ended up in Future Cruises and booked another cruise! It became a long running joke between us and we never waited for a table again!! Sadly, the variety of the menu in Blu did not match the excellent service. We feel that Celebrity has lost sight of what it intended for Blu. If it wasn't for the timing of the late seating in the main dining room we would have gone there more often.
Overall, we had a wonderful cruise but we are concerned that the culinary expertise is not what it used to be. This is the reason that we chose Celebrity in the first place and we hope there will not be further cost cutting in this area. We also hope that one day we will again sail under Captain Tasos' command and that JC and Mark will still be making us laugh. Less

Cabin review:
The refurbished Aqua Class cabin was excellent. Almost up to the standard of the Solstice Class ships but not quite so as the bathroom is smaller and not so luxurious. The television is also not situated in such a good position.

A miserable Sonny tries to convince himself that Kate's leaving is for the best but he clearly feels otherwise. Even a visit to Carly and the boys can't shake Sonny's melancholy mood. Meanwhile, Kate is equally lonely and miserable as she ends up spending the holiday alone in her hotel room in Manhattan.
Back in Port Charles, Jason longs for the family he can never have as he spies on Elizabeth and her boys through the window. At the same time, Tracy is plagued by Alan after she rudely kicks Skye out of Luke's hospital room. Lulu, Lucky and Bobbie join Tracy as they sit vigil when Luke is taken off for his bypass surgery. While on the operating table, Luke envisions his idea of Heaven, and sings us a song or two.
Meanwhile, Carly is hit by a mild case of the flu but is grateful to have her family with her. Maxie won't apologize to Felicia, who tells her daughter she'll always love her. Mac invites Felicia to stay for Christmas. An emotional Maxie gives Felicia a gift from Georgie.

Choosing to work as a contractor can be a very rewarding life choice indeed and with more permanent workers suffering salary and benefit cuts, there has never been a better time to start trading through your own Limited company… And here's why:
Take home pay
When it comes to trading as a contractor, there are two options recommended in how to do so: either through a Limited company, or through a PAYE umbrella company.
There is usually one in particular that will work best for you; so if you're expecting to contract for over than three months or earn more than £25,000 then it may be worth considering the Limited company route.
However, the main advantage with contracting through your own Limited company, is that it will be the most tax efficient way of working. You could take
home around 75% – 80% by trading through your Limited company, whereas you could see yourself taking home around 60% – 65% with an umbrella company.
By using a contractor calculator, you could work out a rough estimate of your potential take home pay. After putting in an hourly or daily rate the calculator does the rest. The take home amount assumes full tax planning and a number of other variables, which would need to be discussed further with an accountant.
As a Limited company contractor, you are able to claim back on a wide range of expenses, and you will only get taxed for your profits, with the amount spent on your business remaining tax-free.
You must ensure that your expenses were at a cost that was made wholly and exclusively for the running of your business and by keeping hold of your receipts you are covering yourself and your business, should HM Revenue and Customs carry out an investigation. HMRC can look back as many as six years ago, so keep you receipts from this far back just in case.
Examples of some of the expenses you can claim as a Limited company contractor (outside IR35) include:
- Accountancy fees, which includes your limited company formation
- Any business travel
- The cost of work equipment
- Advertising
- Business telephone calls
- Business 'entertainment'
- Computer software
- The rent, heating and lighting of your business premises
- Stationary and postage for work
- Books and magazines that are relevant to your business
- Bank charges on business accounts
- Meal allowance, which can be claimed when working on a remote site
- Employers NI contributions.
Other benefits of working through your own Limited company include:
- Being at much less personal risk compared to being a sole trader, as any financial problems that you may encounter will be considered separate to yourself.
- Having complete control over your financial affairs.
- Looking professional – certain PLCs or larger limited companies will usually only work with other registered limited companies.
If you have any other queries about trading through your own Limited company, have a look at our Contractor Limited Company Guide for further advice.

A big story we have published records the stunning improvement in London's schools that has taken place over the past decade (also: analysis on the topic).
As part of the number-crunching I did for to that story, I can also provide an update from our measure on social mobility in schools – how much does poverty damage your school results? It's not good news, alas.
Last year, we reported that our educational mobility index had been rising for five consecutive years – from 2006-10. Unfortunately, this year, things deteriorated a little. That blip upwards in 2010-11 means poverty exerted a bigger influence on the school results of children in 2010-11 than it had in 2009-10.
As a reminder, for those of you who have not committed these things to memory: we measure this through quite a simple metric. First, we draw our old friend, the Graph of Doom, which shows how exam results interact with poverty:
To come up with this graph, we divide the country into hundredths, by their neighbourhood deprivation. Then we plot each grouping's average score on the line, according to a simple performance measure (which I've tweaked since we last did this). Read more

President Obama using Joe Biden as his mouthpiece is not unexpectedly making noise that he will implement gun control measures through the use of the Executive Order. Obama has been sending out messages about his commitment to restrict gun ownership by Americans since early in his first term. He has hinted at taking action to institute tight restrictions on guns and ammunition during conversations with liberal foreign heads of state and United Nations representatives. He has openly supported the UN Arms Treaty which mandates international restrictions of small arms and ammunition. Hillary Clinton, his sitting Secretary of State, has been ...
What the "heck" is a fiscal cliff and where is it? Do we have one in Newton County? Apparently we don't know because we are being lead around by the nose with glazed over eyes by politicians in Washington away from the real fall down into financial ruin of our country. President Obama and Harry Reid have become masters at strategy who utilizes magic tricks to focus our attention on the Bill they have spun up to supposedly handle our financial crisis at this moment, all the while we creep ever closer to the abyss that we can't ...
Last week, following the shooting tragedy at the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, Barbara Morgan rolled out the tired old argument for increased gun control that has proven ineffective. The left finds it extremely easy to gain the spotlight through a decry of more strict control of gun possession while totally ignoring the thorny, very difficult issues of the degradation of the family unit, single parent mothers, desensitizing children with ever violent videos and computer games and the lack of respect for authority in all its forms.
Authoritarian governments - whether religious or secular - have long sought to curb or even to extinguish religious liberty. On the other hand, the limited American government established by our Constitution respects the institutions of our civil society - including, especially, religious institutions. The American Founding Fathers believed that strong religious congregations and vibrant faith communities were essential to ordered liberty. As a result, Americans have long enjoyed the fullest religious liberty in the world and we have reaped the benefits of a flourishing civil society rooted in that religious freedom.
As we approach what the media is calling the "fiscal cliff," I am sure I join many of the readers in urging their elected officials to produce more than just press releases attacking each other. Truly we can do better.
The Grand Jury, that served the first half of this year, submitted a presentment to the Superior Court of Newton County that was published in this newspaper as required by the court. This presentment contained the results of a review conducted on the Newton County Department of Public Works Maintenance Project done on Cook Road.
The findings of the Grand Jury clearly showed that the provisions of state law, county enabling legislation, and county purchasing policy were not complied with.
My wife and I attended the Christmas parade held today in Covington. The weather was beautiful and the streets and sidewalks were crowded with families and children anxious to acknowledge the coming Christmas season. There were marching bands and parade floats galore. Wait - there was something missing! Except for one band and one float of a manger, there was no sign of a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I am not one to exclude the secular celebration of Christmas with Santa Claus for a strictly exclusive focus on the birth of our Lord, but neither do I wish ...
First, I commend Mr. Ketchum for having enough community interest to write his article, "Rails to rails: It makes too much sense," Nov. 16.

The Presidential election is history now leaving us awash with mind damaging cries of "tax the wealthy" and a myriad of other tax increase proposals. I have this vision of us driving straight towards a cliff but only looking out the side window. It doesn't take a graduate degree to figure out that you can't continue to spend more than you bring in without having the whole process crash. What one does need is the courage and responsibility to clearly look at the problem and accept the answers that are there. Indeed, "It really is still the spending ...
The 2012 Elections are over and the president will serve another term.
This will be the last column that I write before the presidential election on Nov. 6. I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to beseech you to vote responsibly and with careful thought to the future of this United States. This is not an election to be corrupted by personal racial bias, mindless party politics or mind numbing ignorance of the issues and what's at stake with your vote.
In this life there are consequences to our actions and certainly there are consequences to not telling the truth, either by lying or by omission of the truth. Occasionally, I am compelled to respond to an article written by my fellow columnist Maurice Carter.
I am compelled to weigh in on the terrorist attack on the Benghazi Consulate and murder of Ambassador Chris Stevenson and three other Americans. I am in a unique position since I have lived and worked in many places in the Middle East under security protection and under risk management by the intelligence forces.
Today in Newton County, our news agonizes and debates over low SAT scores and drop out rates in our high schools, drop out rates and low performance levels in our community college, high teenage crime rates, and embarrassing rates of single mother and teenage pregnancies. All the while, we good citizens argue between the Board of Education, Board of Commissioners and Chamber of Commerce for solutions to treat the symptoms and ignore the disease; all this done from good intentions and a touch of fear to appear politically incorrect and expose a distasteful aspect of our society.

Wisconsin cheese production continues to outpace the rest of the country
Wisconsin cheese production keeps humming along at a faster pace than the rest of the country.
According to new federal numbers, the Badger State pumped out 244-million pounds of cheese in May. That's four-point-four percent more than a year ago, which is higher than the national increase of three-point-nine percent.
Wisconsin remains the nation's largest cheese-maker, and its May production increase was double that of second-place California. The Golden State made 198-million pounds for a 2.2 percent increase.
Nationally, about 954-million pounds of cheese were produced in May. Wisconsin's output of American cheese jumped by six-and-a-half percent from the year before, and Cheddar production was up by just over five-percent.

I intended to do a post on the Great Molasses Flood but the
MassMoments website beat me to it and did a much better job
of it than I would have. I will say, though, that I've met Stephen
Puleo, the author of the book Dark Tide: The Great Molasses
Flood of 1919. My bookstore hosted one of the first signings for
the book and I highly recommend the book. My mother was
born eight years after the Molasses Flood and lived in a different
district of Boston, but often said that on a hot day you could smell
molasses if you were anywhere near the North End.
Today, January 16th, is the 174th birthday of my great-great
grandfather Jonathan Phelps West who I've written about before
in the story of his first marriage to Orpha. I was thinking about
this earlier tonight and realized that Pop, Grandpa West, would
have known his great grandmother Arvilla Ames West, Jonathan
P.'s mother, who lived from 1810 until 1907. I wonder if she ever
told him about her parents and grandparents who were born in
the century before!
Last but not least, congratulations to Randy, Chris, Jasia, Blaine,

CHICAGO -- As you might expect with a 66-96 team, there were as many positives off the field -- or in the minors -- as there were on the playing diamond for the Chicago Cubs in 2013.
By far the starting staff was the brightest spot on the big-league team, but even they couldn't do it alone as poor defense early and a year-long problem of getting on base contributed to the team's woes.
And finding the worst stories for a last-place team shouldn't be hard right?
But don't forget, the Cubs' record during this rebuilding phase is by design. If they wanted to win a few more games they wouldn't be trading veterans during the season. So the five worst stories for the Cubs in 2013 have little to do with actual games won or lost.
5. Donnie Baseball: No, infielder Donnie Murphy didn't get the Cubs closer to the playoffs after being called up from the minors in early August, but his offensive performance over the final two months is worthy of mention. He hit 11 home runs and drove in 23 in just 149 at-bats. For comparison, shortstop Starlin Castro hit 10 home runs in 666 at-bats. Even more impressive was Murphy's performance in clutch situations. In spots deemed "late in games and close," Murphy hit .368 with three home runs and seven RBIs. That batting average was second on the team while the home runs were tied for first and the RBIs tied for second. And he produced those numbers in just 19 at-bats. His hot finish earned a contract for 2014.
4. Feldman/Garza trades: We'll have to wait a while to know if these are for-sure winners, but when the Cubs moved Scott Feldman and Matt Garza to the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers, respectively, in July, they got back three, younger dynamic arms. Jake Arrieta is already a back-of-the rotation guy -- just as Feldman was -- but his stuff screams the ability to be better. His devastating curveball can freeze hitters while his lone weakness is control. He showed flashes after coming over and says getting away from the Orioles and a fresh start with a new pitching coach is all he needs to flourish. Pedro Strop is a closer in the making, although he will probably start 2014 as the main set-up man. Feldman parlayed his season into a $30 million deal with the Houston Astros, but it's the Cubs who could end up the big winners. As for Garza's deal, the Cubs acquired righty CJ Edwards, who helped Single-A Daytona to a championship. He's small of stature but can throw lights-out. The Cubs also acquired one-time hot prospect Mike Olt. The third baseman took a dip in 2013, but with injuries behind him, he might turn into a steal.
3. Javier Baez' season: There were high expectations for the Cubs' No. 1 pick from 2011 and Baez not only met them, he exceeded them. Not many players at age 20 have had minor league seasons like Baez did. Gary Sheffield comes to mind who, ironically, is the player most observers compare Baez with. That's because of his vicious swing, which produced 37 home runs and 111 RBIs between Single- and Double-A. He also stole 20 bases, while his plate discipline got better as the season wore on. He did commit 44 errors, but the Cubs don't seem overly concerned. There's still work to be done, but starting 2014 at Triple-A means he's a couple of hot months away from being called up to the majors.
2. Drafting Kris Bryant: Remember, this was no slam-dunk pick. At least not in the mind of the public. The Cubs had a myriad of hitters and pitchers to choose from picking No. 2 in this past June's amateur draft and by all accounts -- so far -- they hit a home run. (No pun intended.) Bryant is big, strong and can crush the ball. He hit 31 home runs for the University of San Diego to lead the NCAA last season. Second place hit 21. That says it all. He won honors for top collegiate player, then went on to rip up minor league pitching in the final months of the 2013 season. To top off his year he won MVP of the Arizona Fall League where he hit another six home runs to lead all hitters. In handicapping young prospects he's more of a "sure thing" then Baez, but both can be transformative players for a given team.
1. Wood emerges: For a rebuilding team nothing is more important than advancement at the major league level by young players. During this phase the front office is always on the lookout for "core" players they can lock up. Lefty Travis Wood pitched his way into being one in 2013 with a masterful year. Despite lousy run support, he was the Cubs' most consistent and best starter from April to September. He ranked 12th in ERA (3.11) in the National League, pitching exactly 200 innings for the first time in his career. Opponents hit just .222 against him, sixth best in the NL. He worked both sides of the plate, up and down, and was nearly as good against righties (.226) as he was against lefties (.207). It was a breakout year which could put him in line for a long-term contract in the near future.
5. Kevin Gregg's mea culpa: Towards the end of a meaningless season in the standings, closer Kevin Gregg was forced to march up to the press box in order to clarify previous critical statements about losing his role to recently acquired Pedro Strop. The Cubs were miffed that Gregg overreacted to manager Dale Sveum telling him Strop would get a few chances to close games down the stretch. Team President Theo Epstein also marched up to the press box to explain things -- pointing out how the Cubs helped resurrect Gregg's career -- and nearly released him on the spot. His near roll of the eyes summed up the situation: it was the last thing he needed at the end of a long year.
4. Castro bats eighth: Tuesday, Aug. 20 may have finally sealed former manager Sveum's fate. After moving Castro around in the order all season, the shortstop was dropped to eighth for the first time since his rookie year. And for the first time Castro voiced his displeasure. Sveum said he didn't know how long he would leave Castro there, but by the next day he was batting lead-off again. At the time sources said it wasn't Sveum's call to move him back up. He stayed in the one-hole for the rest of the season -- and performed better -- and looking back, that kind of gap in communication may have been a contributing factor to Sveum's ouster.
3. Samardzija's second half: If Jeff Samardzija had pitched the second half like he did the first half then maybe the Cubs wouldn't have any doubts about giving him big money two years before free agency. His rising ERA in July (5.28), August (5.54) and September (5.58) contributed to an average season for him as a starter who threw 200 innings for the first time. Maybe it's no coincidence his woes came as the team sold its veteran parts and fell way out of the race. Samardzija needs the adrenaline of a pennant race to pitch his best, but until that day comes a better showing in non-meaningful games will help prove he deserves big pay day.
2. Castro's season: There's plenty of blame to go around for a career worst season after back-to-back All-Star bids. His batting average dipped to .245 and his play in the field was just as curious as ever -- at least early in the season. A better final month-and-a-half on offense and defense gives hope for 2014, but did the Cubs mess with him too much to be fixed? The front office, Sveum and the coaches are all to blame along with Castro. A fresh start is needed for one of the Cubs mainstays.
1. Wrigley (non) renovation: The Cubs like to call it "Restoration". Whatever. It's nothing until it actually starts. If it's red tape that's holding it up then the Cubs have gone through a lot of it and still no resolution has been found. Rooftop owners have dug in while the Cubs aren't changing their stance either: they claim they need the renovations in order to bring in new revenue in order to compete. The rooftop owners have a contract for unimpeded views. Neither side looks good and so the whole story counts as one of the worst of the year.

This is going to be a similar to the LCD lawsuit retailers and customers filed a while back which was recently settled. I can see the same result happening if the evidence is as strong in this case, there are too many caveats for the plaintiff to exploit and can possibly use to win. I see a settlement possibly as large as the LCD to avoid the expensive litigation.

Well, what can I say? My partner and I went to do this route and certainly found some of the pitches, and only possibly found others. Some discussion would have to take place to determine if we did it as intended/described, as some of the text, which sounded obvious, was not once present.
Anyway, we had a significantly different experience on teh route than the description here would have lead us to expect. As Eli had previously told me, the grade was probably a little softer than stated (graded harder than reality, the poor protection and setteing dictating more caution), the lengths of pitches a little off, etc....
By way of example, the 5.9+ OW 60M long would be better described as a corner for 40' to a 40' 5.8 O.W. section (takes a #4 Big-bro, by the way, but not a bomber one.) before a belay ledge at 90' and then another 80' corner protected by a standard rack to get to a huge ledge. Maybe 50M total.... Not a huge deal. There were far larger descrepancies that lead me to believe that we were not on the same route for pitches 2/3, as we did not encounter the splitter finger cracks or any climbing harder than 5.9+.
Anyway, In light of my experience on the route, or on what climbed trying to find it (and ended up doing), I would strongly suggest caution on the part of any would-be courters of this route. While the grades were actually modest, the runouts on the pitches OTHER THAN the offwidth were at the very least R and in places R+/X at 5.9 or so. What we encountered in an attempt to find this route was not an entry-level alpine route even with off-width gear.

My experience went something like this:
P1: 5.7 - follow the route description up the right-facing corner to a small roof, traverse left around a corner to a stance with a horn with a bunch of webbing around it. Traversing straight across from the roof may be 5.9, but it's 5.7 if you go a little below the roof and up, or use the 5.9 hand holds for feet by going a little higher.
P2: 5.8 - head up some cracks to a wide horizontal crack (takes a #3 Camalot), move up and left along a crack, then back right to an alcove with a crappy webbing anchor (back up with your own gear). There are two alcoves, this is the higher one. Kind of chossy.
P3: 5.8+ R - Angle up and right for about 60meters to a small ledge. Cracks are intermittent and unreliable. Thought it was similar to turf - good friction for the hands, but if you pulled hard enough you could pull off the rock. There's one "crux" move on the pitch transitioning right around a bulge with bomber #1 Camalot, otherwise the pitch is mostly 5.7-5.8
P4: 5.9 R/X - From the ledge, we traversed HARD right across the slab, good holds, absolutely no pro for 50ft traverse. Bad news for both leader and seconder if you fell. Reach an arete, head straight up, getting kind of bad gear at first, then bomber gear following the large right-facing corner described in main description above for pitch3. Reach a nice comfy ledge and belay.
P5: 5.7 - Take on the wide crack above to a ledge, then a second wide crack to a large platform ledge and belay. We placed a #4 Big Bro, but smaller gear was available both in and outside of the wide crack. I stemmed the whole thing on huge holds, quite casual.
P6: 5.9 R/X - Move to the far right side of the ledge and take a short crack over a bulge (perfect #4 Camalot). Hit a right-angling ramp and some white rock, moving up along it to the right. After 60meters reach a small "butt-sized" ledge and belay. You can get a fair amount of gear along this pitch, but a lot of it probably wouldn't hold a fall.
P7: 5.9 R/X - Continue angling up and right to the top of the wall with really bad gear placements. (70meters)
This was some of the grippiest stone I've touched outside of the southeast (Horsepens 40, etc.) but the quality was somewhat dubious and the gear was for shit. There were definitely places where it was "no falls" climbing and even in some places, "no falls" climbing for both the person leading and the person following. Also couldn't find anything remotely close to 10+ climbing.

Looks like you guys found a different version of this route as we had copious and gear throughout on solid stone. The only runout section was the wide crack, right-facing corner that defines the right side of the yellow tower on this wall.
Lots of room on these walls to wander and find all sorts of versions as every inch of this cliff is pretty much climbable.

As per the above, that seems to be the case. It looks like we diverged into a different but very similar P2, and from there were off on our own.
The new Rossiter book for RMNP will detail both routes.
I'll try to write these up separately here as well.

GENEVA (Jul. 15)
The president of the U.N. Human Rights Commission has belatedly condemned a blood libel accusation against Jews made by the Syrian delegate on the floor of the Geneva-based commission.
Five months after he was urged to do so by 30 member states, Enrique Bernales Ballesteros of Peru observed, "Any declaration that could provoke racist or discriminatory sentiments must not be tolerated in the Commission on Human Rights."
He added that "neither myself nor anyone in the commission could share such extreme views, which deserve unequivocal condemnation and rejection."
Bernales Ballesteros made his statement in a July 3 letter addressed to Morris Abram, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, who had refused to let the matter rest.
In February, the Syrian delegate, Nabila Shaalan, addressing her fellow delegates from the floor, recommended a book called "The Matzah of Zion," written by the Syrian defense minister, Maj. Gen Mustafa Tlass.
The book presents as truth a blood libel against Jews in Damascus 150 years ago, repudiated at the time by the sultan of Turkey, of which Syria was then a province.
According to Shaalan, the "valuable book" confirmed and "unmasked the racist character of Zionism."
The Bernales Ballesteros letter said that "such propositions are both contrary to the basic principles which inspired the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and threaten to neutralize the considerable work that the international system has accomplished since its adoption,"
The United States and Israel were joined by 28 other countries in a letter of protest to Bernales Ballesteros. U.N. Geneva headquarters did not respond immediately, apparently hoping the matter would be forgotten.
But Abram was tenacious. His Israeli colleague, Ambassador Yitzhak Lior, said that without his persistence, the letter probably never would have been sent.
According to Lior, Israel has gained support at the United Nations since the Persian Gulf War, especially among the Eastern and Central European states.
The Arab states have lost some of their confidence and Israel has more political room to maneuver, he said.
Meanwhile, there is a movement among nongovernmental organizations accredited to the United Nations to have Shaalan removed from her post.

He was soon serving on the Committee, leading rides and supporting every event.
In 1994 he was elected Secretary of the Coventry and Warwickshire DA a position he held until the closure in 2010 – 16 years service. In 1996 he was elected Secretary of Coventry section until 2010 – 14 year service.
Not only did he administer to two groups more or less concurrently he still found time to organise events such as standard rides, Rough Stuff events and night rides often acting as rides leader.
He planned many weekends away and longer holidays both at home and abroad.
He is well travelled and his holidays are all recorded first as colour slides but now in the form of digital memories with which he entertains us at the winter clubroom.
His efforts are gratefully remembered.
