Alex Salmond has urged Scots to ignore the views of the "elite" about independence after three times failing to name a major business leader who supports leaving the UK.
The First Minister said the referendum campaign's protagonists should not "cite the elite" after being challenged about an outspoken attack on separation by Bob Dudley, the head of BP.
He made the outburst after being asked by Johann Lamont, the Scottish Labour leader, to substantiate a claim he made in a television interview that hundreds of business leaders support independence.
She asked him three times to name a chief executive of a company of comparable size to BP, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Asda – all of whom have publicly warned against separation – who backs his stance.
But an increasingly irate Mr Salmond failed each time to provide a single name, before appearing to suggest their concerns over a separate Scotland's currency should be ignored.
The heated exchange at First Minister's Question Time came following a week in which big business leaders started to go public with their opposition to independence after being criticised for staying silent.
The interventions of the BP chief executive and the head of one of the North Sea's leading investment banks were particularly damaging for the nationalists as oil is pivotal to their economic case for separation.
Speaking afterwards, Ms Lamont said: "The First Minister's message to Scotland is don't listen to the experts, or anyone who disagrees with him.
"When the chief executive of a major player in the oil industry like BP says he doesn't think independence would be good for Scotland, Alex Salmond says don't listen to him."
She added: "The man who cosied up to Fred Goodwin and Rupert Murdoch now says that senior businessmen who disagree with him are 'elites' who shouldn't be listened to."
Mr Salmond rebutted Mr Dudley's attack by suggesting that ordinary Scots do not relate to issues such as whether there would be a currency union to share the pound, one of the key objections to independence raised by the BP chief.
"Let's talk the language of people. Let's talk about jobs and investment. Let's talk about the Bedroom Tax. Let's talk about what this parliament has achieved," the First Minister told MSPs:
"And don't cite the elite. Cite the people of Scotland." The invocation triggered enthusiastic applause and cheers on the SNP benches.
But, referring to his TV interview claims, Mrs Lamont said: "Isn't it the case that rule number one in Alex Salmond's book of communication is to assert something that's untrue and keep on repeating it often enough in the hope that people believe it to be true."
Earlier in the exchange, Mr Salmond said Mr Dudley's "most important" comments were to confirm the continuation of BP's £10 billion future investment in the North Sea.
However, the BP chief executive qualified this by stating the there were no plans "at the moment" to reduce investment and independence would raise a "question mark" over that.
The First Minister insisted the multinational oil company would continue to invest in the North Sea for the next 40 years if Scots vote for separation this year.
But Ms Lamont said he was dictating to Mr Dudley what would happen to BP, to the rest of the UK that they would share the pound and to the EU that it would grant Scotland membership.
After being asked a second time to name the business leaders who he claimed backed independence, Mr Salmond cited the pro-independence Business for Scotland group but did not name an executive.
To widespread laughter on the opposition benches, Ms Lamont said: "I was only taking the First Minister at his word when there were many, many chief executives. And having said it, I presumed he would be able to give us at least one."
Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp, the head of Business for Scotland, said it now has 1,324 members. Among them are Marie Macklin, CEO of Klin Group, Ivan McKee, director of Greenfold Systems, and Ricky Nicol, CEO of Commsworld.

Charlie Blackmon leads off and starts in center on opening night
MIAMI — Spring training stats matter when they matter. When it comes to center field, manager Walt Weiss hedged his bet all spring, saying that last season carried more weight and that March wasn't a tryout camp.
So it is that Charlie Blackmon is starting and leading off on Monday night against Miami's Jose Fernandez.
Blackmon batted .236 in the spring, but his strong second half a year ago never left Weiss' memory as he constructed an odd roster. The Rockies are carrying six outfielders, giving Weiss plenty of options and a challenge to find playing time for reserves Corey Dickerson, Drew Stubbs and Brandon Barnes.
Owner Dick Monfort explained the decision in a letter sent to season-ticket holders on Sunday night.
"To have the most impact possible we are taking one utility infielder and three extra outfielders. This is a bit different, but our goal is to have a stronger offense and score more runs," Monfort said.
The six-outfield experiment could be temporary with roster moves looming this weekend with the return of left-handed reliever Boone Logan.
Blackmon hit in the first group during Sunday's practice so his start was no surprise. I wrote it in Monday's paper. Two things figured into the decision: The Rockies are facing a right-hander and the outfield at Marlins Park is enormous. It is 418 feet to center field and 392 and 386 feet in the gaps. Blackmon is a better defender than Dickerson, the other left-handed hitter in the platoon.

A decision is likely Monday on Tyler Chatwood's status. He's expected to land on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. Jordan Lyles would replace him on Wednesday. … Former Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt joined the team for practice. He's planning on working out the next four days. He's cleared every hurdle in his comeback from elbow surgery. He hopes to eventually sign a minor league deal with the Rockies and pitch this season. "That is my goal," Betancourt said. … Utility infielder Paul Janish was not claimed on waivers, leaving him expected to report to Triple-A. His next out date in his contract is July 1.

microsoft virtual pc 2004 will support four network adapters and 4 gb of memory per virtual machine. virtual machines are easily copied from one machine to another due to a xml file-based configuration. the product will support most x86 operating systems, including linux.
the new software will be available for us$129, a drop from the original connectix product that retailed at $229. current connectix virtual pc consumers will receive the microsoft upgrade for free. the software will be available to customers by the end of the year.
read more on this topic at infoworld, eweek, and the microsoft press release.
brian's opinion
microsoft releases a product that supports linux? lock your doors and sell your stocks, hell has truly frozen over!
well, maybe that's a stretch. this product is something microsoft will be able to hang its hat on to show anti-trust critics that it supports competing operating systems. i don't think the eu will be too impressed, though.
those consumers who were fans of the previous connectix virtual pc product should be happy with the microsoft incarnation. first, the new version is $100 less than its previous version. second, current connectix virtual pc customers get the product free. someone might think microsoft is interested in winning previous connectix customers over. considering the features and the price i think ms may be successful in that endeavor.
the product also assists microsoft in pushing companies to upgrade to windows xp. most companies cannot upgrade due to the need to support legacy programs; now microsoft can say it has a low cost solution to this problem. this is probably one of the reasons why microsoft set such a low price point.

|compatibility is key… (1:49pm est tue nov 11 2003)
how low ("legacy") can we go?
i have run into occasions where it would have been great to be able to run some old 16-bit dos applications that require expanded, extended, or dpmi memory access (remember those?), or were built to run under desqview.
i'd like to see a head-to-head compatibility comparison between msvpc and some of its competition, such as …

|product link (2:03pm est tue nov 11 2003)
in case anyone is interested, here is the link to the ms site.
from what i saw in the site, usb devices that require their own drivers will not work. scsi devices are not supported.
when hardware will be able to virtualize itself so that you can install video drivers for you actual card instead of a vanilla virtual video card with none of the features that you paid for of your actual card, i will probably buy this product. until then, i will drudge on with only one operating system running at a time.
there are other products that do this but none of them allow direct access to hardware.

vpc is not intended for gamers, regular users at all.. it is intended to test programming, sandbox dangerous applications and permit companies to run legacy software, why would you need your video drivers to work.. are you running a windows game inside a vpc that is inside windows, are you that lame. i know im asking for flames but please consider who this software is aimed for…. – by heatz
|i agree heatz (9:42am est wed nov 12 2003)
you hit the nail on the heat. if you want native mode for software, dual boot. this is a great testing platform and it makes image sharing easily as well. i believe you can create an 'imaged' os and pass it around to others who may have the same hardware configuration. it's great for that and it's faster than ghosting a new image. you can run multiple oses at the same time and even run server oses at the same time as desktop ones. again, these were the old version since i haven't seen the new one. – by g. frederick
|follow up (1:11pm est wed nov 12 2003)
actually since the hardware is virtual you can pass the image to every computer on your network regardless of what it is. all the clients would see the same desktop and with the rollback featured offered by vmware(not sure on msvpc) you can insure your pesky workers dont get you pesky virii – by heatz

i'll pwn it tomorrow
*snicker* – by bill
|i've used vpc and vmware (11:47am est sat nov 22 2003)
i have to run multiple os's at the same time for my work. virtual machine software is a god send.
if micksoft has added usb support to the latest version i'll be very happy. vpc doesn't have all the bells and whistles that vmware has but it is 10 times more stable. i use vmware only because some of my work requires usb support, vmware has crashed multiple times and has very odd behavoir regarding cdroms and other removable devices.
i hope ms has done a good job with this latest release. – by scott
|what's new? (1:14pm est sat dec 06 2003)
what's the differance in vpc 5 and 2004? – by bobo
|it's not the point (3:49am est wed dec 17 2003)
actually there are differences between vpc e vmware. vmware is actively supporting other operating systems not only into the virtual machine (that being so should be able to run anything) but even haveng a multi-platform software solution (not only running on win32). then i personally think vmware has a higher performance than vpc. but the point is microsoft didn't just advice a product or distribute it, but it actually bought a company to have its own virtual machine solution. that means to invade another zone and a day be able to include it into the next windows relase as a feature. so that's another monopolistic struggle to drain people toward one company the new ocp (remember robocop) that want to provide all and all must buy from that company. as for virtual machines, why not having an os made with java then and have it run everywhere instead of emulating a computer? the computational efford is almost the same. – by ocp wannabe
|existing dual-boot (10:51pm est sun apr 04 2004)
who can i create a virtual drive using an existing dual-boot environment? i've got xp pro on c:, and win2k on d: right now. i don't want to have to install everything all over again! – by chrisyp

Its not him.. dont mistake what we wrote for his actions... I know many priests told me the Church added things... You need to know Jesus was Pure Love... Thats what should be preached apart from Christianity or the Church...
Deep into AtheismWe don't seem to be getting it. Please enlighten us and explain how does condemning to hell those who would definitively espouse evil such as murder and slavery equate to espousing murder and slavery? Also, show us how is the Church's current (view and method of) Biblical interpretation inconsistently different from the earlier centuries and throughout the ages, as you are claiming, please show us how to arrive at such a conclusion in case we wanted to likewise enlighten others.

How to Add and Edit Text in Dreamweaver
The most basic HTML page content comprises text and images. To add text, just type (or copy and paste) text into an open Dreamweaver document just as you would in a standard word processor.
You can do this either in Split view or Design view. If you're working in Split view (with code on one side, and Design view on the other), be sure to paste text into the Design view side of the Document window. Otherwise, if you paste text into Code view (or the Code side of Split view) Dreamweaver will think you're copying HTML code, which you're not.
Normal editing techniques like Find and Replace (found on the Edit menu) or spell checking (buried unintuitively at File→Check Page→Spelling submenu) are at the ready.
If you have major document editing to do, edit text in a word processor. Dreamweaver's editing tools are okay, but just okay. If you've come to rely on those squiggly red underline markings that show you spelled a word wrong, you won't find that feature in Dreamweaver's document window.
If you create or edit text in a word processing document, you can easily copy it into the Dreamweaver Document window. Click in Design view (remember: not Code view, or you'll paste your copied text as HTML code, which it's not).
Choose Edit→Paste Special to see what options Dreamweaver offers for preserving formatting from your word processor. There are four options, ranging from Text Only (which strips all formatting) to Text with structure plus full formatting (bold, italic, and styles).
The results you get from different paste special options vary rather widely depending on the source of the text. So, instead start with the forth option, the one that preserves the most formatting. If it doesn't work well (like if it pastes in text with too much formatting or features that weren't really part of the original formatting), try different options.
Avail yourself of the Dreamweaver Document menu's Edit→Undo feature if the paste results don't do a good job of preserving your formatting.

The Future of Jobs
In the late 1990's less than 700,000 industrial robots existed in the world. Today, there are more than 1.8 million, and the number is estimated to reach 2.6 million by 2019, according to the PwC CEO Survey of 2017. During the upcoming years, half the jobs that exist today can be expected to either disappear or change significantly. The reason is that digitalization and the rapid gains made in robotics are creating a massive shift in the labor market. Dr. Sanandaji has co-authored the book Framtidens Jobb (The Future of Jobs), which has gained attention in the Nordics for its systematic approach in analyzing how the jobs of the future are shaped by technological change. Previously, automatization has mainly affected jobs in manufacturing, farming, mining, and forestry. The rise of intelligent computer systems is today putting pressure also on skilled office-jobs.
How can the labor market adapt to the disruptive changes brought on by new technology? Where are the jobs of the future to be found? How do societal shifts – such as increased global competition, urbanization, and increased specialization – change the way we need to approach labor markets?
There are no simple answers to these questions. However, as old jobs disappear, new ones are also created. History teaches us that technological disruptions tend to be additive rather than simply destructive. For policymakers to navigate this terra incognita of the future of jobs, Sanandaji Consultancy has been mapping out the trends in detail, enabling us to advise on the do's and dont's of future labor market policies as well as business HR practices.

Walkthrough (Chapter Five) part 2
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Walkthrough (Chapter Five)[edit]
Scroll (1/3)[edit]Once you've smashed through the door with the Warthog, kill it and get off of its back. Then, proceed up the linear path ahead. You'll encounter a healing station on your right, which you should use if you need some health. Otherwise, just beyond the station on your right, you'll see a body lying in the snow. Scour it for a scroll.
Now to get your equipment back. You're close! Getting your gear back from the Chupacabra this time around will prove to be a little more difficult than it was earlier on, but still, it's far from impossible. Alongside where the curative station and body containing the previous scroll were located, you can grab onto some horizontal wooden beams, and then shimmy over to your left. When you turn around the bend along the cliff, you can then pull yourself up and stand up on the isolated cliffside. You can take a jump to your left, hang on, and pull yourself up to the Chupacabra, but be sure to launch a fairy at him first. Why? Well, if you make the jump without first distracting him, you'll be blasted with red lightning, which will force you to try again.
Scroll (2/3)[edit]You're in a position to grab another scroll before backtracking through Veros Woods. After assailing the Chupacabra and acquiring your goods back, you can proceed further into the cave ahead of you. You'll not only see a neutral essence distributor to utilize ahead and on your left, but before that, on your right, you'll spot a corpse. Search it to find this scroll.
Drop back down from the Chupacabra's perch once you've retrieved your gear and the aforementioned scroll. You can't backtrack the way you came, because you dropped off of a precipice en route to this location that you can't scale back up. Instead, you're going to need to swing around the left side of the mountain where the perch was located, which will lead to another small Goblin encampment. There won't be too many Goblins to keep you occupied here, so you should be able to fell them rather easily. When all is said and done, push through the camp and the camera should adjust, showing Gabriel on the edge of a precipice. Drop down off of the precipice in order to proceed.

In 2002 the Cal Poly Pomona Rose Float Alumni Association transferred to the Cal Poly Pomona University Library 40 boxes of files, photographs, negatives, videos, and extensive memorabilia documenting over 50 years of rose float building by Cal Poly students. The Cal Poly Rose Float Collection is now part of the University Archives, and is cared for by University Library Special Collections staff. As this is a continuing project, new materials continue to be added to the collection.
The Cal Poly Rose Float, jointly created at Pomona and San Luis Obispo since 1949, is the only student built float in the annual Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. Cal Poly students have been building rose floats for over 50 years and have won over 40 awards, including many Princess Trophies for best display of animation, Founder's Trophies for most outstanding self-decorated float, Humor Trophies and Theme prizes.
Also included in the Cal Poly Rose Float Collection is a collection of Tournament of Roses Parade Official Programs and Pictorials dating back to 1912, which were donated by former float builder, Gene Taylor.

Good plan?
When you are planning your project, completing an ethical checklist will help you identify whether something you intend to do raises ethical concerns. If it does, then your plan will not be acceptable and you will need to rethink it
Case study 3: Anaesthetic
Dermot's ambition was to study chemistry or pharmacology at university. In the initial research for his EPQ, he found that a compound used in local anaesthetics could be synthesised using apparatus and chemicals available in his school. He thought it would be interesting to compare methods, so he carried out a health and safety risk assessment and his teacher agreed that he could make the compound in the school laboratory. His main aim was to find the best way to make the compound.
Dermot then suggested that he could test the compound by applying it to people's skin – his own, and some of his friends'. His teacher said no. He then thought he could work out a way of testing it on some pet mice. Again his teacher said no.
In discussions with his teacher, Dermot changed his plan so that he could still go ahead with the laboratory synthesis but found other ways to evaluate his methods without testing the compound on people or animals. He used chemical tests to determine the purity of his samples so that he could calculate the yield obtained using the different methods. He interviewed a dentist about merits and drawbacks of different types of local anaesthetic, and a visit to a local pharmaceutical company gave him valuable information for his report.
Dermot's teacher was absolutely correct to forbid the tests on people and mice. Any sort of testing on living subjects carries health and safety risks as well as raising issues about consent. Professional researchers wishing to carry out tests on living subjects have to obey very strict rules in order to be granted a licence. There is no way that such a licence would be granted to an EPQ student, so if you are considering doing anything similar to what Dermot suggested, don't even think about it.
Case study 4: Care home
Florence hoped to become a nurse, and she had a weekend job in a care home for people with dementia. For her EPQ, she decided to draw on her work experience and study an aspect of dementia. Her first idea was to look at the residents' medical records and see whether there were any patterns in their medical history that might relate to the date when their dementia was diagnosed. When she mentioned this to the home manager and her EPQ supervisor, they both said no immediately. They pointed out that medical records are confidential and would not be available to her.
Florence then suggested a different project. She had noticed that some of the residents seemed more alert at certain times of day, and thought she could design tests to see if there really was a difference. She had some ideas for simple memory and recognition tests that could be presented like games so the residents would not find them distressing. The manager and her EPQ supervisor were supportive. They gave her advice about doing research with vulnerable people and obtaining informed consent.
The residents themselves could not give consent, so Florence explained her project to the relatives who were responsible for them. She wrote a document explaining how she would work with them and how she would collect and store the data, ensuring that it was secure, and stating that all her findings would be reported anonymously. The manager approved the document, the relatives signed the consent form and Florence went ahead with her project.
Work experience can provide a good starting-point for project work. It is important to remember that, in a workplace, you must behave professionally, just like people who work there as their main job and hold more senior positions. You might have access to confidential information, and you need to respect that – even if Florence had been able to see medical records, it would not have been ethical for her to use them in her project.
Activity 5: Ethical checklist
For this activity you will need the ethical checklist provided in the downloadable resources section below.
First, look at each question in turn and explain why it is important. Refer to the three ethical frameworks to help explain your reasoning.
Now use the checklist to analyse the projects described in case studies 1–4. Work through the checklist and identify any questions where the student would have had to answer 'no', either at the initial planning stage of the project or later. For case studies 1 and 2, suggest how the students might modify their research. For case studies 3 and 4, explain how changes of plan helped address ethical issues.

(Host) The new state board that will oversee virtually every aspect of health care in Vermont met for the first time on Tuesday.
And as VPR's Bob Kinzel reports, one of the top priorities for the Green Mountain Care Board is to implement a number of cost containment measures during its first year in operation.
(Wallack) "Welcome to the first meeting of the Green Mountain Care Board. Glad to have you all here."
(Kinzel) That's Anya Rader Wallack, the chair of the Green Mountain Care Board, officially kicking off the panel's first meeting.
The Board will review hospital budgets and private health insurance rates, it will create payment reform initiatives, and it will design future benefit packages.
Wallack says a key goal is reducing the annual growth of health care costs.
(Wallack) "The question is, can we be doing something in terms of innovation out there in the world of innovation in the health care delivery system that results in more downward pressure on hospital budgets and on insurer rate increases."
(Kinzel) It's estimated that roughly 25 percent of the increase of private health care premiums is due to the underpayment for services by state and federal programs. Wallack says it will take time to get these government programs to pay their fair share of health care costs.
(Wallack) "That's going to be hard to deal with because it would involve essentially shifting a lot of private payments to the state budget. Probably not feasible to do that. But if we can at least do no more harm that will be an achievement."
(Kinzel) One group that's very concerned about the work of the Green Mountain Care Board is the Vermont chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
Shawn Shouldice is the group's director.
(Shouldice) "NFIB would ask the Green Mountain Care Board to strongly consider ensuring that there are choices for employers to make, that they're not limited to one carrier. … And, you know, obviously we need to know what it's going to cost and how it's going to be paid for. And the sooner we know that the better."
(Kinzel) But Wallack says it's too early to make decisions about how to finance future health care programs and she says maintaining the status quo is not acceptable.
(Wallack) "The alternative is total certainty that health care costs are growing at an unsustainable rate. So the uncertainty about how we're going to control health care costs, whether we're going to be successful, and what we propose in terms of public financing, I think, is far preferable to sitting around and doing nothing. We have to tackle this problem."
(Kinzel) The Shumlin administration is seeking a federal waiver to allow Vermont to implement a publicly financed system in 2014. But the waiver is wrapped up in the congressional debate over the future of President Obama's health care law.

As more and more people rediscover, or in many cases discover for the first time, how much better homemade bread is than industrially made sliced white bread, bread maker manufacturers seem to be in a race to pack more features into their machines to grab a bigger slice of this growing market. One manufacturer who has just about managed to pack more than most in to their bread maker is Breville with their BBM800XL model (see today's price). It has 13 program setting and then on many of the selections you can choose a choice of 3 crust finishes and a choice of 4 sizes of loaf from 1 lb. up to 2 ½ lbs. Fruit and nut additions to your loaf are added automatically at the optimum time.
One of the issues with bread made in a bread maker is the fact that you either have to stop the process and physically remove the mixing paddle before the bread bakes or take it out later, after it has been baked into the loaf. The Breville BBM800XL overcomes this issue to some extent with their collapsing paddle which, although does leave an indentation in the base does not leave a hole where the paddle has been extracted. Breville claim that their collapsing paddle is unique, perhaps they are unaware of Bradman's collapsing paddle which operates in a similar way. One little feature for which Breville do get credit for is being able to mute the audible warning sound.
Most of the time it is not needed and can become an irritant. In addition the Breville BBM800XL has many features that a pretty well standard on most modern bread makers. A delay setting that allows you to set a time up 13 hours in advance of when you want your bread ready. It will automatically switchover to a keep warm setting for up to 60 minutes when the baking cycle has finished.
The Breville BBM800XL is a bread maker with the capacity to bake a loaf of up to 2 ½ lbs. so it should be expected to be quite large. Actually it is quite comparable, size wise, with several bread makers with a smaller capacity. Overall it measures 9.6 inches x 16.4 inches x 13.3 inches, without any ingredients in it, it weighs 16.8 lbs. Externally the Breville BBM800XL is finished in an easy clean brushed stainless steel. While there are several bread makers available that will make 3 different sizes of loaf, it is unusual to find one that will make 4 different sizes, ranging from 1 lb. through to 2 ½ lbs. in ½ lb. increments.
With all these setting it would seem that it could be difficult to set the correct program, but it is quite straightforward. A the bread is selected, the screen then moves on to any options that are available with that program and then moves to the next selection.
One of the problems with bread makers is that 2 people can have the same machine and have totally opposing opinions on it. Most of the problems seem to be in the quality of the bread made. Manufactures say that it is highly important that the measure are accurate then give solid ingredient measure in cups and not weights. Breville does have a conversion early on in their manual but then all the recipes are in cups.
A ½ cup of butter? Nobody could deny that the Breville BBM800XL is packed with features and that it is a highly versatile bread maker. Breville have made a good job of managing to add all these features without making the controls too complicated. The only area of doubt on the machine is the collapsing mixing paddle. Breadman have had many problems with theirs scraping the base of the tin and scratching off the non-stick coating.
Reading through some customer reviews it seems as if the Breville BBM800XL occasionally has a similar problem although, as yet, it does not appear to be on anywhere near the same scale as the Breadman machine. It is still relatively early days for the Breville BBM800XL but it seems to be well like by the majority of its users.

Ellie and I received complimentary Niagara USA Discovery Passes for purposes of this review. All opinions are ours.
When visiting Niagara Falls with kids, especially the adventurous, Cave of the Winds is a MUST DO! The attraction, located on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park, is open May through October from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Honestly, you get so wet you wouldn't want to visit in colder weather, AND…. they take the stairs down during the harsh winter months for the sake of safety.
Why is Cave of the Winds a MUST DO attraction?
As you may know, I don't often label attractions as MUST DO activities. While I think most every attraction across this great world will appeal to someone, Cave of the Winds is a rare experience for everyone who is physically able to climb the stairs.
After purchasing tickets (if you aren't using a Niagara USA Discovery Pass), head into the area just left of the ticket window to get sandals specially made for Cave of the Winds. Change into the sandals and, if wearing long pants, roll them up as high as you can. On my visit, a sweet lady who spoke no English clearly communicated to me that my cuffed jeans were not high enough. She insisted they be above the knee. Honestly, shorts are better.
Your tour begins with a long elevator ride 175 down through the rock into Niagara Gorge, the basin of the falls. Before ascending the stairs into the mist, get your recyclable, yellow ponchos to "help" stay dry.
The first part of the journey is fairly tame, an easy staircase down to a lower platform to observe the falls. I especially liked watching the water crash among the rocks — such power. Take your time, though, and notice the little streams that meander quietly through the rocks without making a showy display. There's just something about that gentle movement among the chaos that is mesmerizing.
Like the Maid of the Mist, there's not much opportunity to take good photos without risking damage to non-waterproof equipment, but on this lower deck, it can be done if the wind is fairly calm. Don't forget to turn around and enjoy the view of the gorge from down here. It's incredible.
The next main area is the Hurricane Deck, just feet away from the plunging Bridal Veil Falls. This deck has rubberized mats, necessary to help guests maintain their balance as the water pounds, creating powerful wind gusts. I was carrying my good camera (in a camera bag) under my poncho and didn't want to risk it getting drenched so I only "played" on this deck for a few minutes. It was, by far, Ellie's favorite spot at Niagara Falls. I could hear her squeals of delight over the pounding surf. She wasn't the only one, "kids" of all ages enjoyed the Hurricane Deck.
To feel the pounding water and hear the roar as it broke over the rocks was simply incredible. It's the best place in all of Niagara Falls to experience the power of the Falls.
Reminds me a little of a famous scene in The Titanic
Cave of the Winds is not a cave!
Early in Niagara Falls' history as a tourist attraction, there was a cave measuring 130 feet high by 100 feet wide and 30 feet deep behind Bridal Veil Falls. Guided tours were offered between 1841 and 1920 when a rock fall made the cave unsafe for visitors. In 1954 another rock fall led park management to dynamite the remaining overhang for the sake of safety. Today, the name remains — a nod to the attractions early history. I was surprised to learn there is no cave at Cave of the Winds — but it didn't lessen my experience in the least. Just thought spelunkers everywhere should be aware. 🙂
Mom Says – Kids Say: Cave of the Winds
Mom Says
Cave of the Winds is a wet attraction…. it's a really wet attraction, and there is no way you will stay dry. With that clearly stated, I highly recommend that you consider the outside temperature when visiting. When Ellie and I visited, the temperature was about 72 degrees fahrenheit, which was just fine. If you go when it's colder, consider wearing a lined, waterproof jacket and take a change of clothes!
I didn't pack towels or a waterproof camera, but I recommend both for this attraction.
Don't rush the experience. My daughter had so much fun on the Hurricane Deck. I just couldn't pull her away and ruin the fun, especially when she started splashing in the puddles. How often do kids get to stand in hurricane gale winds safely? If I didn't have my camera, I would have joined her for more fun.
Guets with mobility and balance issues should not climb the stairs at Cave of the Winds. Also, very young children might be scared by the noise of the falls — and they should have an adult with them at all times. If they are scared, parents/family can take turns exploring Cave of the Winds. There is ample space to watch from a safe distance.
Kids Say
Ellie says, "The best part of Cave of the Winds is the Hurricane Deck because you get to see the Bridal Veil Falls up close and you can feel the water fall on you. But, it's a good idea to wear a sweatshirt because it gets a little bit cold when you get really wet. The part that might surprise you is that there is no cave at Cave of the Winds. It fell down and doesn't exist anymore, but it's still the coolest place at Niagara Falls. Parents and elementary school kids and older kids should go because it is super-super fun getting wet in the real falls and getting a poncho and sandals you can keep! You will get totally, completely, entirely soaked at Cave of the Winds, but it's so cool you just have to do it." (Can you tell she's working on descriptive words in language arts?)
Plan your visit to Cave of the Winds
Cave of the Winds full-admission prices for 2014 are $12/adults and $6/ages 6-12. Off-season pricing, which offers a view of the falls from Niagara Gorge, but not the chance to experience the full force of the water, is discounted between November and May. I cannot say whether it's a good value off-season.
Parking at Goat Island is $8/vehicle.
Cave of the Winds is included in the Niagara USA Discovery Pass which is $36/adults and $29/kids ages 6-12.
Regular season hours are 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily.

If the arrangements proposed don't accommodate your travel needs, we'll cancel your booking and you'll be entitled to the following:
- Retain the unused portion of your ticket and use it toward future travel on Air Canada flights; or
- If your ticket is refundable or the delay is within our control, obtain a refund for the unused portion of your ticket, refunded to the original form of payment.
Please visit our Delays and Cancellations page for more information, or consult our tariffs.
Your Recourses:
Should you wish to provide feedback or file a complaint about our services, please complete our web form and we'll contact you shortly. You may also file a complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency.
* If you're travelling on a codeshare flight, operated by another airline, we recommend that you contact the carrier directly, as it may be in a better position to make the appropriate accommodation arrangements.
If you are denied boarding
Note: This section applies to flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express flights*.
It's never our intention to inconvenience you. However, due to operational requirements and inventory control, sometimes we can't accommodate you even though you have a confirmed reservation.
During a denied boarding situation, Air Canada will first solicit volunteers who are willing to give up their seat in exchange for compensation.
Boarding Priorities:
If there aren't enough volunteers, we may deny boarding involuntarily to passengers holding a confirmed reservation in accordance with our policy on denied boarding priority, as found in our domestic tariff (Rule 100) and international tariff (Rule 90). We'll give priority, in the following order, to unaccompanied minors; passengers with a disability, their support person, service animal, or emotional support animal, if any; passengers travelling with family members; and passengers who were previously denied boarding on the same ticket, provided the carrier is informed of this fact.
If you're involuntarily denied boarding, we'll tell you why you were denied boarding, the compensation and standards of treatment to which you may be entitled as well as the recourses you have available.
If you're denied boarding because of a situation that's outside of our control, here's how your travel plans will be accommodated:
- We'll rebook you on the next available Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or Air Canada Express flight or on one of our partner airlines on a reasonable route from the same airport, within 48 hours of the end of the event that caused the denial of boarding; or
- If we cannot do this, we'll re-route you on any carrier via any reasonable air route to your destination or re-route you from another airport that is within a reasonable distance of your departure airport to your destination (if any). If your new departure is from such an airport, Air Canada will arrange for your transportation to that other airport.
If you're denied boarding due to a situation that is within our control or for safety purposes, here's how your travel plans will be accommodated:
- We'll rebook you on the next available Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or Air Canada Express flight or on one of our partner airlines within 9 hours of your original departure time; or
- If we cannot do this, we'll re-route you on any carrier via any reasonable air route to your destination that departs within 48 hours of your original departure time; or
- If we're still unable to provide a confirmed reservation that complies with the above, we'll re-route you from another airport that is within a reasonable distance of your departure airport to your destination (if any). If your new departure is from such an airport, Air Canada will arrange for your transportation to that other airport;
- If you refuse the alternate travel arrangements offered because travelling no longer serves a purpose, we'll refund the unused portion of the ticket or, if you aren't at your point of origin, refund your ticket and provide you with a confirmed reservation back to your point of origin that accommodates your needs.
Standard of Treatment:
If you're denied boarding for a situation within Air Canada's control or for security reasons, we'll provide you with the following before you board your next flight booked as part of your alternate travel arrangements, unless this would further delay you:
- Food and drink in reasonable quantities, considering the length of the wait, the time of day and location;
- Access to a means of communication; and
- Hotel or comparable accommodations for overnight delays for out-of-town passengers, subject to availability within reasonable distance from airport.
If you're a passenger who is denied boarding involuntarily because of a situation within our control, you'll be entitled to receive "denied boarding compensation" from Air Canada, unless:
- You haven't fully complied with the Air Canada ticketing and check-in requirements, or you aren't acceptable for transportation under Air Canada' rules and practices. For more information on refusal to transport, see our domestic tariff (Rule 85) and international tariff (Rule 75);
- The flight is canceled or delayed;
- You're offered accommodations on the same flight as the one specified on your ticket, at no extra charge.
Denied boarding compensation is calculated based on your arrival time at destination and is $900 CAD (if delayed between 0 and 6 hours), $1,800 CAD (if delayed between 6 and 9 hours), and $2,400 CAD (if delayed by 9 hours and more).
Read more about travelling on a different flight for compensation. The complete rules explaining your rights, the payment of compensation and boarding priorities are available at all airport counters and boarding locations, as well as in our domestic tariff (Rule 100) and international tariff (Rule 90).
* If you're travelling on a codeshare flight, operated by another airline, we recommend that you contact the carrier directly, as it may be in a better position to make the appropriate accommodation arrangements.
Seating children with family
Air Canada will do everything possible to ensure children under the age of 14 are seated close to their accompanying family member. However, it's not always possible to automate this function when families travel on a fare that doesn't allow advance seat selection or when traveling on separate reservations. Which is why we encourage you to call Air Canada Reservations to ensure proper seating arrangements are made in advance of travel.
Air Canada has a comprehensive policy that ensures every reasonable effort is made by Air Canada's airport staff, flight attendants and through in-flight procedures, to seat children under the age of 14 next to their accompanying adult.
Please note that passengers travelling in Signature Class pods must call Air Canada Reservations to ensure that they're provided with proper family seating. This policy doesn't apply to families who have opted to pay for the advance seat selection fee.
Please refer to our section on Children and Travel for additional information.
We invite you to read some of our other customer service commitments, which reflect our dedication to transparency and the highest level of service.
Also, our Delayed Flights and Cancellations section answers a lot of other questions you may have if your plans are disrupted.

Important Notices
Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that international treaties known as the Montreal Convention, or its predecessor, the Warsaw Convention (including its amendments) may apply to the entire journey, including any portion thereof within a country. For such passengers, the applicable treaty, including special contracts of carriage embodied in any applicable tariffs, governs and may limit the liability of the carrier.
Notice of liability limitations
The Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention system may be applicable to your journey and these Conventions govern and may limit the liability of air carriers for death or bodily injury, for loss, delay or damage to baggage.
Where the Montreal Convention applies and for domestic itineraries, the limits of liability are as follows:
- There are no financial limits for death or bodily injury.
- With respect to destruction, loss of, or damage or delay to baggage, 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 1,357; US $1,663) per passenger in most cases.
- For damage caused by delay to your journey, 4,694 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 5,655; US $6,786) per passenger in most cases
Where the Warsaw Convention system applies, the limits of liability are as follows:
- 16,600 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 20,000; US $20,000) with respect to death or bodily injury if the Hague Protocol to the Convention applies, or 8,300 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 10,000; US $10,000) if only the Warsaw Convention applies. Many carriers have voluntarily waived these limits in their entirety, and US regulations require that, for journeys to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the US, the limit may not be less than US $75,000.
- 17 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 20; US $20) per kg for loss of or damage or delay to checked baggage and 332 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 400; US $400) for unchecked baggage.
- The carrier may also be liable for damage caused by delay.
Further information may be obtained from Air Canada as to the limits applicable to your journey. If your journey involves carriage by different carriers, you should contact each carrier for information on the applicable limits of liability.
Regardless of which Convention applies to your journey, you may benefit from a higher limit of liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage by making a declaration of your baggage value at check-in and paying any supplementary fee that may apply. Alternatively, if your baggage value exceeds the applicable limit of liability, you should fully insure it before you travel.
Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.
Baggage claims: Written notice to the carrier must be made within 7 days of the receipt of checked baggage in the case of damage, and, in the case of delay, within 21 days from the date on which it was placed at the disposal of the passenger.
Baggage Fee: For lost, damaged or delayed baggage, the carrier will also compensate you for any fees that may have been paid to check that baggage.
Notice of contract terms incorporated by reference
Your contract of carriage with the carrier that provides you with carriage by air, whether international, domestic or a domestic portion of an international journey, is subject to this notice; to any notice or receipt of the carrier; and to the carrier's individual terms and conditions (Conditions), related rules, regulations and policies (Regulations) and any applicable tariffs.
If your carriage is by more than one carrier, different Conditions, Regulations and any applicable tariffs may apply for each carrier.
The Conditions, Regulations and any applicable tariffs of each carrier are, by this notice, incorporated by reference into and made part of your contract of carriage.
The Conditions may include, but are not restricted to:
- Conditions and limits on the carrier's liability for the bodily injury or death of passengers.
- Conditions and limits on the carrier's liability for the loss of, damage to or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable goods.
- Rules for declaring a higher baggage value and for paying any supplementary fee that may apply.
- Application of the carrier's Conditions and limits of liability to the acts of the carrier's agents, servants and representatives, including any person providing either equipment or services to the carrier.
- Claims restrictions, including time limits by which passengers must file claims or bring actions against the carrier.
- Rules about reconfirmations or reservations; check-in times; the use, duration and validity of air transportation services; and the carrier's right to refuse carriage.
- Rights of the carrier and limits on the carrier's liability for delay or failure to perform a service, including schedule changes, substitution of alternative carriers or aircraft and re-routing, and, when required by applicable law, the obligation of the carrier to notify passengers of the identity of the operating carrier or substituted aircraft.
- Rights of the carrier to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with applicable laws or who fail to present all necessary travel documents.
You can obtain more information about your contract of carriage, and find out how to request a copy, at places where transportation on the carrier is sold. Many carriers also have this information on their websites. When required by applicable law, you have the right to inspect the full text of your contract of carriage at the carrier's airport and sales offices, and to receive a copy by mail or other delivery service from each carrier free of charge, upon request.
If a carrier sells air transportation services or checks baggage specifying carriage on another carrier, it does so only as an agent for the other carrier.

Nice Introduction to Living Raw
This article was forwarded to me by my sister who has also recently gone raw and is loving it! It's a great introduction to the lifestyle and just plain commonsense for those that aren't.
"The biggest problem with the average American diet is not just how much we eat, it's the percentage of our diet that's made up of cooked and over-processed foods. Find out how eating "live" can help you live healthier, happier and longer." – Steven Lang
Thanks for the recommendation; keep them coming!

Thousands Stand in Solidarity with Wet'suwet'en Land Defenders
Today marked an international day of action and solidarity with the Unist'ot'en Camp and Gidimt'en Checkpoint. Over 67 international events from Vancouver to London took place on January 8 with more scheduled for the rest of the week, including Seattle's event on the January 11.
Members of Unist'ot'en (C'ihlts'ehkhyu/Big Frog Clan) have been occupying the lands around the Morice (Wedzin Kwah) River since 2009 in opposition to various and ongoing proposals of bitumen and natural gas pipelines throughtheir unceded territory. Though the projects have received consent from elected members of the Wet'suwet'en Chief and Council, the voices of hereditary Chiefs who oppose these projects have continuously been ignored by the government and industry. Under 'Anuc niwh'it'en (Wet'suwet'en law) all five clans of the Wet'suwet'en have unanimously opposed all pipeline proposals.
According to the Indian Act, elected Chiefs have jurisdiction only over reserve lands, thereby have no ability to grant permission for projects within the larger territory stewarded by hereditary Chiefs of the Nation. Furthermore, the 1997 Delgamuukw decision by the Supreme Court of Canada, which recognized that Aboriginal title still exists in places where Indigenous nations have never signed a treaty with the Crown. In fact, the court was talking about the land where this standoff between the Nation and RCMP is taking place.
Following approval of a Coastal GasLink pipeline project by the BC government in Novemeber 2018, members of the Nation stood before BC Supreme Court Justice Marguerite Church to defend their sovereignty. The project aims to transport fracked gas through a 670-kilometer pipeline across their territories to refineries in Kitimat and ultimately to export markets in Asia.
Unist'ot'en spokesperson, Freda Huson has stated, in regards to the ongoing occupation and defence of the land:
"I am here in my home, on my land. I am not a criminal for protecting my most critical infrastructure which is my berries, my medicine, my water, my right to teach future Unist'ot'en generations how to live in right relationship with the land. Without water, no human will survive and these projects like TransCanada's Coastal Gaslink threatens the water. We are the land, the land is us."
The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), in a press release in early December, spoke against the BC government approval of the project, calling for the rights of the Unist'ot'en people.
"The Unist'ot'en camp is a non-violent gathering of Indigenous land defenders and members of the Unist'ot'en house group in Wet'suwet'en territory in northern BC. Under the authority of Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs, these land defenders are actively practicing their inherent Indigenous Title and Rights to protect the land and pursue their right to self-determination.
A central tenant to the standards and rights affirmed within the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which both Canada and BC have endorsed and committed to implement, is the right of Indigenous peoples to protect their lands and territories, to maintain and strengthen their distinctive spiritual relationship with the lands and to own, use, develop and control those lands. Article 8 of the UN Declaration calls on States to provide effective mechanisms for prevention of any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing indigenous peoples of their lands, territories or resources."
On December 14, the Court ruled in favour of an injunction against the Unist'ot'en occupation that would allow workers to pass the constructed checkpoint over the Morice River held by the Nation. This injunction is allowed to be supported by RCMP should there be push back.
On January 6-7, RCMP began moving into the nearby towns of Smithers and Houston in preparation to enact the injunction. Following movement on the checkpoint on January 7, 14 people were arrested including Gitdumden spokesperson Molly Wickham. One elder was released and 13 land defenders and supporters will be appearing in court in Prince George today. The armed RCMP movement on the checkpoint has raised provincial, national, and international support and attention, with media from New York Times, Toronto Star, as well as independent videographers present.
Dogwood BC, who have a focus on power relations within the province stated in a facebook post on January 7:
"History will not look kindly on politicians who condone the use of force against local people on behalf of a multinational oil and gas consortium. I hope the response from British Columbians to these events give our leaders pause as they contemplate their next move."
Following the RCMP enforcement of the injunction, UBCIC President Grand Chief Stewart Philip stated "We strongly condemn the RCMP's use of intimidation, harassment, and ongoing threats of forceful intervention and removal of the Wet'suwet'en land defenders from Wet'suwet'en unceded territory. The RCMP's actions are in direct contradiction to both governments' stated commitments to true reconciliation, and to full implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which is a global human rights standard. We demand that Canada and BC call on the RCMP and Coastal GasLink to respect the Unist'ot'en/ Giltseyu-Dark House on unceded lands. The provincial and federal governments must revoke the permits for this project until the standards of free, prior and informed consent are met."
The actions of industry, the BC Government, and the RCMP against the Unist'ot'en members and allies speak loudly to the difference between the language of reconciliation used by all levels of government and the actions required to make reconciliation happen.
At the time of this publication, the Unist'ot'en Camp states it is on high alert for a similar violent invasion of their checkpoint while thousands around the world rally in solidarity.

Towards an Agenda for Sustainable Food Governance in the post-exit UK and EU
21 September 2017, Leuven
Event in the framework of the bilateral cooperation between Cardiff University and KU Leuven.
The aim of this event is to identify new complexities in global food governance regimes in the wake of new objectives, targets and indicators set forth by global actions such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the COP21 Declaration on climate action, as well as CAP reforms, and their possible impacts on food and agriculture policy. The discussion is critical due to the changing socio-political landscape of Europe and the impending exit of the UK from the European Union after the triggering of Article 50.
