difficulty organizeing your hotel website re-design?
Whether resort supervisors are accountable for taking care of check-ins, dishes, amusement tasks or check-outs, hoteliers are always on the run as well as have no time at all to spare. Thus, when it pertains to internet site re-design, while lots of hoteliers understand their sites are dated and due for redesign, most try to postpone that task to the last feasible minute.
While most resort managers understand the importance of a solid electronic existence, most of them have felt aggravated at least as soon as while attempting this objective. This sensation is the outcome of typical website design as well as firm processes, which require substantial time as well as interest from hoteliers. When making an internet site utilizing typical web design agencies, hoteliers invest way too much time discussing and also reviewing. Hoteliers waste time in unlimited conferences that are meant to gauge progress as well as make certain that the outcome is exactly what hoteliers anticipate as well as like, frequently overlooking that most hoteliers have little expertise of consumer actions on the web.
Nevertheless, hotel supervisors should not shed hope. As an hotelier, you should understand the most important factors in great web design, making it much easier to take a wise decision when selecting your website design provider. By doing so it is possible to discover internet designers that have the ability to provide a terrific web site in a just a number of weeks and also you will certainly be happily astonished by a site that attains its mission of delivering the ideal ethnicity according to the kind of lodging.
: Rely upon hotel professionals
When it involves resort web site style, it starts with recognizing resorts, but above all understanding exactly how hotel web site site visitors act.
Website design agencies generally are not professionals in resort site layout as well as this could present itself as a failure. Promoting on the web the most recent smart phone, soft drink or footwears is not the same as promoting buying accommodation.
Leveraging hotel website experts, resort internet site design ideal practices as well as thorough consumer habits knowledge will allow these professionals to lead the process, make decisions that make the most of consumer influence, as well as just how much the site offers. Doing so makes it possible to bid farewell to extensive "design projects" which regularly demand hotelier's time as well as resources.
: Concentrate on a couple of products that communicate your hotel's experience
This action is composed in making sure that what your guests experience at your home or business could be previewed on the web. Make certain that the look-and-feel of your hotel is equated right into its web design.
The hotel logo is the # 1 or # 2 element that customers see on your website. You must ensure that your resort's logo design is straightened with the building style and is a value-add to your website.
Pictures are apart from rate the most essential aspect when picking a hotel. They are critical as hoteliers could not be able to distance themselves from individual preferences.
So, choose which aspects you want to promote and also highlight, concentrate on sending these and also disregard the remainder. This way customers will certainly understand precisely just what to anticipate at your home.
: Individual experience is crucial, forget sub-navigation
Consumers are extremely hectic nowadays hence web sites are offered 5 to 10 seconds to order a person's attention and also send a message. If customers need to spend too much time reading they are vulnerable to abandon and also browse in other places. Forget complicated navigation structures, keep it straightforward.
A research study performed by GuestCentric over 300 resort web sites world-wide programs that three pages are critical for consumers: the web page, the areas web page as well as the reservation engine/rates web page. Additionally, customers may search for special deals, the photo gallery, as well as the place of the home.
Ensure usability of these 6 web pages with straightforward navigation as well as simple formats that interact one of the most important message. Prevent clutter and unnecessary details, leave out excessive message as well as invest in big, bold pictures.
: Streamline web page style, constantly be closing
Developers can no longer supply vanity tasks, as well as websites that are "excellent looking". We think the primary emphasis for every site is to obtain more service by driving individuals to book and having a straightforward online bookings system pays-off.
This indicates that your internet site must have a "Publication Now" switch noticeable on every web page, ideally at the same area. This streamlines style as well as ensures consumers understand where to go when they prepare to publication. On top of that, you need to promote deals on pages, use options to call the hotel, and permits your visitors to acquire Gift Certifications. Every web page ought to assist consumers get closer to reserving a remain at your resort.
: Responsive layout obtains the internet all over
Recognizing that the access to web sites is now made with a selection of tools such as mobile phones and tablet computer computers is additionally required when it comes to website advancement. Individuals anticipate to access the network from anywhere they are. Ensuring your web site works with mobile phones might complicate the website design procedure as if yet another web site to design as well as testimonial.
This is no longer the situation. Responsive design cuts the process short as it ensures that your internet site adapts instantly to mobile devices. Because of this, make sure that your supplier is a specialist in receptive layout.
: Software as a Service as well as the capability to transform
Traditionally, the best approval of developers job comes when the outcome exists and consented to. This is a limiting view of web sites as well as one of the factors why so lots of hoteliers intimidate web site redesign tasks. In a fast-moving market, hotels need the capacity to alter websites without being charged an arm-and-leg for each adjustment. Software program as a Service is a brand-new design that enables hoteliers to take their fate into their own hands as well as change their site without having to rely on design agencies.
At the end of the day, hotel site design need to not be as complicated as rocket science.
Hotel internet sites ought to aid hoteliers accomplish their goals, specifically in generating profits. With an exquisite knowledge of resort sites and individual's preferences, obtaining a straightforward layout process that adapts to the new electronic Globe is now feasible.

As a responsible member of a global community, we're also committed to corporate responsibility and environmental sustainability which is why we are so excited to share the Heart & Stroke Foundation's move to greener sustainability with the launch of eCard!
As of February 18, 2015 successful students of any Heart & Stroke Foundation program (eg: ACLS or PALS) will receive their completion certificate via eCard. After course completion students will receive an email with information to access their digital proof of course completion, removing the need to distribute a physical completion card by mail.
During the implementation phase students will continue to have the option to receive a physical copy of their certification, free of charge, if indicated in advance of your course date. In order to help facilitate the transition Iridia will offer the option to receive either a digital certificate (eCard) or a physical completion card when you register for a course on our website.
The second phase-in period will commence in May of 2015 when a dispensary fee will be associated with the request of a Heart & Stroke Completion Card. eCards will remain free of charge and is the promoted choice for course participants. Both options will remain available on our website when registering for a course.
FAQs pertaining to eCards have been posted on the Heart and Stroke resuscitation portal however we are happy to answer any questions, comments or concerns.
We look forward to continuing our support with the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the public in sharing the "Go Green" spirit! Stay tuned for updates in the next coming weeks.

Dry Meadow Creek, California, US
|Usual Difficulty
|V (for normal flows)
|1.5 Miles
|Avg. Gradient
|333 fpm
|20 - 400 cfs
|24 cfs (running)
Here's a report by Rocky Contos:
DRY MEADOW CREEK (Kern River): ~60 cfs May 17, 1997
Last Saturday I and four others did Dry Meadow Creek in the Kern drainage, led by Robert Dilman who had done it four other times this year. To get to the put-in, drive toward the Forks trailhead, but turn down the CAMP 4 dirt road after passing the creek on the paved road. At some times of the year this is locked by a gate and you have to hike down the dirt road about a mile. Put in just above the confluence of two sizeable streams. Last weekend each of these had maybe 30 cfs.
The entire run is only about 2 miles. In the upper stretch there were a lot of small rapids and some tree branches to scrape over, but it could all be done with one portage. One spot with a tree across the creek caused three of us to step out of our boats. After about a mile there is a sizeable drop of 6-8 ft at a left hand turn. Further on (maybe another half mile or so) there are two more sizable rapids. One is a series of 2-8 ft falls, the one in the middle has a right narrow channel that is ugly, and a wide left channel with a big rock halfway down. One in our group broached on this rock, and two others slammed into it on our left sides. Just below here is an unrunnable 2 ft wide slot with a 15 ft falls. A seal launch on the left at the falls is fun. Below this rapid there is another tight spot known as the "Bermuda Triangle" consisting of two technical drops, the first of which must be taken onthe left (the right channel is not possible). A little below the Bermuda Triange is the "Seven Teacups". This is the whole reason for the run. Seven clean falls of 6-20 ft separated by calm round short pools. It is an impressive place. After the first fall, which is a broken drop, all the water flows under the granite at a "natural bridge" so to speak. One must stabilize their kayak in the flowing water and get up onto the bridge to walk across. In the pool on the other side you can see where the water passes under from the light that shines through (the passage is only about a half foot under water). The second fall (12 ft) had a eddy on the creek-right just above that Robert went into and peeled out jumping into the pool on the left below the fall (in a Whip It). I went in the eddy, but couldn't peel out because my boat was too long (Wave Sport Extreme). After several frantic minutes, I ended up backing up to the lip of the falls and did a strong right sweep to get out. Pretty scary. Preston tried going in the eddy the opposite orientation but still couldn't line up correctly. Boof the third fall (15 ft) on the right. The fourth fall is the largest (20 ft) and through a very narrow slot. Aim to the right. I banged my elbow going through it. The fifth drop (15 ft) is run straight. The sixth (6 ft) has a hole below on the left that people have swam out of. A sneak route on the right is possible. The last drop is very clean everywhere (about 10 ft). Take out here on the left and portage the next 4-5 falls (between 6 and 50 ft). It takes about 20-30 minutes to portage. Some of us used some ropes to lower boats. The last sliding fall into the Kern is fun to run (about 15 ft). All in all, an enjoyable creek with some impressive drops that make great video. It felt good to get on some real water though.

On April 17, 1998, a paddler missed the mandatory-portage takeout at the end of the runnable part
of the Teacups section. Corran Addison performed a heroic rescue.

Medicaid Changes At Frewsburg Home
FREWSBURG — The Tanglewood Group is proud to announce that the Frewsburg Rest Home has been awarded ALP status as an assisted living facility.
With the addition of 81 Medicaid-eligible resident beds, the 106 W. Main St., Frewsburg, location can now offer the same government-assisted care to seniors that the group's Tanglewood Manor facility in Jamestown has offered since 1998. The "Rest Home," as it is known by local residents, has served seniors in the community as an independent living facility for more than 40 years. With the announcement of the ALP bed additions, residents will only be required to pay a rate deemed by New York state to be suitable for their income, with Medicaid subsidizing the cost of care. Not only does this mean that the property can welcome residents of all income levels, but it also means current and future residents will always have a home — with the same benefits and care — regardless of changes to their income or personal savings.
The charming Victorian property, which greets visitors entering the village of Frewsburg, underwent major renovations and improvements after the 2014 acquisition by the Tanglewood Group. Completely renovated and modernized rooms with full baths now add a touch of elegance and luxury to the comfortable, country home and family-style setting.

Splenius Capitus and Cervicis Muscles: Location, Actions, and Trigger Points
The splenius muscles are broad and thin, getting their name from the Greek word splenium, meaning bandage. Capitus comes from the Latin word for head, caput which refers to the origin of the splenius capitus on the mastoid process and adjacent occipital bone of the skull, underneath the sternocleidomastoid. Cervicus derives from the Latin word cervix which pertains to the neck, referring to the splenius cervicus having its origin on the cervical spine.

Temporalis Muscle: Location, Action and Trigger Points
The temporalis muscle is a large, thin fan-shaped muscle located in the side of the skull above and in front of the ear. It is a muscle of mastication and its role is similar to the masseter, which is to elevate the mandible (lower jaw) and so close the mouth. Although the masseter is the more powerful muscle the temporalis is an important chewing muscle. It starts at the temporal bone of the skull but passes all the way down beneath zygomatic arch (cheek bone), attaching to the mandible, enabling it to assist the masseter in closing the jaw but also to retract the mandible.

Masseter Muscle: Location, Actions, and Trigger Points
The masseter is a jaw muscle that gets its name from the Greek work "to chew". It is the major muscle of mastication (chewing) of the human jaw and serves primarily to elevate the mandible (lower jaw) while the deep tissues help to protrude (protract) it forward. Although we rarely think of it, the mandible is the only bone of the skull that is actually moveable. The upper jaw is fixed. There is a lot of moving for the mandible to do, therefore, and the masseter is the primary worker. Located on each side of the face in the parotid1 region at the back of the jaw, these muscles are easily visible or palpable when you clench your jaw, as they contract strongly just in front of the lower ears.2

This group was a constant annoyance to the regime, starting a bombing campaign against various government buildings, and even attempting to assassinate the president himself. In February of 1982, previous Syrian President Hafez al-Assad decided that this group needed to be taught a lesson. The town of Hama was leveled. Men, women and children were killed. Fatality estimations vary from 30,000 to 40,000. The message was clear, the Assad family would never compromise and any opposition will be met with the most ruthless pushback with no negotiation. Since then, there have been no serious Islamist groups brave enough to challenge the Baath party government. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his closest advisors clearly see the demonstrations of 2011 and 2012 as his Hama. And now Bashar al-Assad is sending the same message to the people of Homs and other cities throughout Syria.
2. It's all in the family. Just as Rifaat al-Assad (Hafez's brother) led the charge in Hama during the 1980s, Maher al-Assad (Bashar's brother) is leading the Republican Guard, which is responsible for much of the killings since the start of the protests. However unlike Rifaat, Maher has stayed loyal to his brother and has not attempted a coup d'état. Like many dictators, Hafez and his son made sure to keep members of the family in very important positions throughout the government and the Baath party. They are constantly advising the president on what to do during this crisis, on how to handle the demonstrators. Bashar al-Assad is Alawi (a small sect of Islam somewhat based on Shi'ism), which is a minority, and previously persecuted religion, and thus other Alawis are often given high-ranking positions in the Baath Party as well as the administration. Bashar's mother and sister (Anisa and Buchra) are also close advisors to the president, and often remind him that these protests are exactly like Hama in the 1980s, and he needs to respond with force like his father did.
3. The movement has not truly spread to Damascus. This point is critical to understanding why the movement in Syria has not been as successful as the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. In the capitals of Tunis and Cairo were overrun by protesters, and images from Midan Tahrir (Liberty Square in Cairo) and Shari'a Habib Bougiba (Habib Bourgiba Street in Tunis) have become iconic.
4. Assad has more supporters than one might think. This ties into point number 4, of why the protests have yet to spread to Damascus. The Assad family has been careful in building various groups of supporters over the years including: the Baath party, the Alawite community, the minority Christian communities, the Druze community, parts of the military, and the new elite that the Hafez promoted during his economic reforms, as well as members of the old elite. Plus Assad has the supporters of anyone who fears the instability that may come with his deposition. Most of these groups can be found in the capital. Thus, pro-Assad rallies are not necessarily artificial. This makes the crisis in Syria quite complex, and is the main factor that has prevented a huge sweep of protests throughout the country, as found in Tunisia and Egypt.
5. This has put Turkey in a precarious position. Since the Arab Spring, Turkey has been trying to reposition itself as the leader of the region. By breaking its ties with Israel it has gained legitimacy in the Arab world. Furthermore, with the rise of Islamist parties in the recent elections in Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco, the ruling Justice and Development Party (or AKP) has become a model for Islamist parties. Moderate, accepting, firm in its "Islamic" values, and working within a democratic system. This gave Turkey an opportunity to retake their position of power in an Ottoman-reminiscent throwback. But the huge influx of refugees from Syria threatens that new role. It could put a strain on Turkey's resources , with an astounding 14,700 Syrians now living in camps. Overall, Turkey's government has handled the situation pretty well, but there have recently been protests in the camps against Turkish authorities expelling some refugees. Turkey has not any bold action and has not used their military to make a buffer zone, in fear of risking confrontation with Russia and Iran. A quote from a recent NY Times article outlines Turkey's sensitive situation well.
"Yet the conflict has also laid bare the limits of Turkey's power in the region. Before the Syrian conflict erupted, Turkey was emerging as one of Syria's closest allies, with the two countries holding joint cabinet sessions and Mr. Erdogan and Mr. Assad even vacationing together. Turkey's 500-mile border with Syria is its longest, and trade between the countries more than tripled to $2.5 billion in 2010. But despite years of diplomatic engagement and economic investment, Turkey could not persuade Mr. Assad to cease the violence and move ahead with political reform."
Those that study the region will be watching closely to see if Turkey will actually make concrete moves against the Assad regime, and thus increasing its legitimacy as the new superpower in the region.

In His Shadow
Sophia Ayes
A member of Annabelle's entourage and famed dancer, both ballet and 'exotic' (disappeared)
Sire: Annabelle Treabel
"You can look, but can't touch."
It has been a few weeks since Sophia was last seen at the Succubus Club.
Sophia is a graceful and beautiful dancer, and is clearly enamored with Annabelle, part of her entourage and present at all of her upscale parties. Her love is unrequited, but if anything that makes it more intense, not less.
Ironically, she is often followed by a halo of male hangers-on, older sugar-daddy types as well as younger suitors – she pays them little more attention than Annabelle pays her, though she is fully capable of milking them for tremendous sums of money.
When Sophia was first introduced by Annabelle into Toreador society, it did not go as well as hoped. Sophia's background was held against her, and since then Annabelle has lost interest in her childe for the most part. Bret's destruction led to a brief re-ignition of her fickle interest, but it did not last.
Sophia, on the other hand, after getting over hear year-long crush on Portia, seems interested in the newcomer to the Succubus scene, Marguerite

|The Right Honourable
The Earl of Lucan
|Richard John Bingham
18 December 1934 (age 75 if still living)
|Possibly deceased some time after 8 November 1974. Probate was granted in 1999.
|Eton College
|Coldstream Guards officer
|Known for
|Murder of Sandra Rivett, subsequent disappearance
|Lord Lucan, 7th Earl of Lucan
|Lady Lucan (née Veronica Mary Duncan)
|George Bingham, 6th Earl of Lucan, Kaitilin Elizabeth Anne (née Dawson)
Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan (born 18 December 1934[1]), known as Lord Bingham before 1964, sometimes colloquially called "Lucky" Lucan, disappeared in the early hours of 8 November 1974, following the murder of Sandra Rivett, his children's nanny, the previous evening. There has been no verified sighting of him since then.
On 19 June 1975, an inquest jury named Lucan as the murderer of Sandra Rivett, the last time that an inquest was allowed to name the person they suspected of committing such a crime.[2] He was presumed deceased in chambers on 11 December 1992[3] and declared legally dead in October 1999.[4]
Bingham was the eldest son of George Charles Patrick Bingham, 6th Earl of Lucan and his wife, Kaitlin Elizabeth Anne Dawson. He had two sisters and one brother.[1] He was educated at Eton College[5][6] and served as lieutenant in the prestigious Coldstream Guards.[1] A compulsive gambler through his adult life, Bingham accrued significant debts.[citation needed]
On 28 November 1963 Bingham married Veronica Mary Duncan, daughter of Major Charles Moorhouse Duncan,MC. They had three children: Frances (born 24 October 1964), George Charles (born 21 September 1967), and Camilla (born 30 June 1970).[1]
On 21 January 1964 Bingham's father died and he succeeded to the earldom.[1]
In early 1973, Lucan and his wife separated; the three children lived with their mother. In September 1974, Lady Lucan engaged Sandra Eleanor Rivett (born 16 September 1945) as a nanny for the children.
At 21:45 on Thursday, 7 November 1974, Lady Lucan burst into the Plumber's Arms, the pub nearest to her house, appealing for help. She had blood flowing from several wounds on her head and reportedly said: "Help me, Help me, Help me, he's in the house, he's murdered my nanny".
The police were summoned, and arrived at the Lucans' home 15 minutes later, forcing open the front door. They found a bloodstained towel in one bedroom and a large pool of blood with a man's footprints on the floor of the basement. They searched the basement and discovered broken crockery and walls splashed with blood. They found a canvas mailbag inside which was the body of Sandra Rivett, who had suffered head wounds. They also found a bloodstained length of lead pipe wrapped in surgical plaster. The bulb had been removed from the basement stairs light fitting and was resting on a chair.
The Countess of Lucan gave a statement from the hospital in which she named her husband as the attacker. According to her account, whilst she was watching "Mastermind" on television, Sandra Rivett had put her head round the door and asked Lady Lucan if she would like a cup of tea. This was unusual, but Rivett went downstairs to the kitchen at around 20:55 to make some tea. The 9 o'clock news came on soon after this and, after about a quarter of an hour had passed, Lady Lucan began to wonder what had happened to the tea. Lady Lucan went to look for her. The basement was dark and, when she called Rivett's name, a man emerged from the cloakroom and hit her with a heavy object. She screamed, and when he told her to"Shut up", she recognised her husband's voice. The attacker shoved three gloved fingers down her throat to silence her. She managed to calm him and he ceased his attack; they both collapsed on to the stairs. Lady Lucan asked him where Rivett was and Lucan, after some prevarication, said that she was dead. They went upstairs to the second floor bedroom where Frances was still watching television. He sent her to bed and switched off the television. Then Lord Lucan went into the bathroom to get a cloth to clean up her face. Upon hearing the taps running, Lady Lucan seized her opportunity to flee from the house and ran to the Plumber's Arms pub in Lower Belgrave Street.
Lady Lucan's statement differs from that of her ten year old daughter, Frances, who had been watching television with her mother. Her statement was taken by a WDC in Cornwall several days after the event. Roy Ranson described her statement as "always slightly muddled" and didn't know how much reliance he could place on it.
At around 22:00, Lucan's friend Madeleine Florman, who lived nearby in Chester Square, was wakened by someone ringing her doorbell. She ignored it, blaming local youths, and 20 minutes later received a phone call from an agitated Lord Lucan, who soon hung up. Police later found bloodstains on her doorstep.
A few minutes after he called Florman, Lucan called his mother and told her that he had been passing his wife's house by when he noticed a fight going on inside. He said Lady Lucan had been injured and there was a lot of blood. "There was something terrible in the basement," he said. "I couldn't bring myself to look." He asked her to go to 46 Lower Belgrave Street to look after his children, then hung up.
Lucan drove 68 km (42 mi) to the house of Ian and Susan Maxwell-Scott, his friends in Uckfield, Sussex. He drove a Ford Corsair he had borrowed from a friend while his own Mercedes was being repaired. He found Susan Maxwell-Scott home alone. He related an expanded version of the story he had told his mother, claiming that after seeing the fight he had entered the house and gone to the basement, where he had slipped on a pool of blood. The assailant had already fled. He also said Lady Lucan had cried out that the man had killed Rivett and had accused Lucan of hiring the man to kill her.
Lucan used Susan Maxwell-Scott's phone to call his mother, who told him his children were safe at her flat and asked him if he wanted to talk to the policeman who was with her. He replied that he would call the police in the morning.
Before leaving, Lucan tried to ring his brother-in-law, Bill Shand Kydd, but could not reach him. He wrote two letters to him, which he gave to Susan Maxwell-Scott to post, then left at 01:15. Lucan was never seen again.
The following Monday, 11 November 1974, the Ford Corsair was found abandoned in the south coast at Newhaven. There were bloodstains in the front seat, and in the boot a length of lead pipe wrapped in surgical plaster was found matching the one in the Lucans' basement.
It was not until five days after the murder that a warrant was issued for Lucan's arrest. The story as it appeared in the newspapers focused on Lucan's disappearance and did not mention the possibility that he might have been the killer.
Lucan's relatives and friends were united in the belief that he was innocent and acted more quickly than the police. The day after the murder, John Aspinall organised a lunch for Lucan's friends, where they discussed how they could help Lucan when he reappeared. The police were later to accuse the "Clermont Set" (as they were named by the media) of obstructing their investigation.
Susan Maxwell-Scott did not immediately report Lucan's late night visit to her. When her husband, Ian, returned to Uckfield on Friday evening, she told him what had occurred. On Saturday morning, he rang Bill Shand Kydd and told him that Lord Lucan had written two letters to him, addressed to his London house in Cambridge Square. Shand Kydd then rang his London home and was told that two letters with Uckfield postmarks had been delivered that morning. He immediately drove to London and, after reading them, gave the letters to the police.
In June 1975, the official inquest into Sandra Rivett's death was held. Bill Shand Kydd read out the two letters he had received from Lucan. In the first, Lucan repeated his story of interrupting a fight in the house and said that his wife would blame him, adding that she had demonstrated her hatred of him in the past and would do anything to see him accused. The second letter dealt with a planned auction of some of the family silver, and Lucan asked that the proceeds be used to clear his bank overdrafts.
The Queen's Counsel, acting for Lucan's mother, talked up Lady Lucan's alleged hatred of her husband, but forensic evidence supported her account. The blood found in the basement had been mainly Group B (Sandra Rivett's group), while that found on the basement stairs was mainly Group A (Lady Lucan's group), and both types had been found on the lead pipe. There was no evidence of another assailant.
On June 19, the inquest jury took just half an hour to reach their verdict, naming Lord Lucan as the murderer of Sandra Rivett.[7] He was the last person ever to be declared a murderer by an inquest jury, shortly before the procedure was outlawed by the Criminal Law Act 1977.[8]
In October 2004, the Metropolitan Police reviewed the case to examine the existing police evidence using modern DNA profiling. Police also prepared a computer-generated image of how Lucan might have looked if he were still alive (he would have been 69 years old) using "age-progression" software.[9]
The review, codenamed "Operation Abberton", was led by Detective Superintendent Lewis Benjamin of Scotland Yard.[10] Benjamin said that he believed Lucan was helped by friends to escape from Britain and began a secret life abroad.[11] However, the DNA testing failed to provide any conclusive evidence.
In an article published in ES Magazine in November 2009, reporter Keith Dovkants claims that had Lucan ever been captured it would be quite likely that a trial jury would have found him "not guilty" of Sandra Rivett's murder.[2]
He based this conclusion on claims made by Detective Chief Inspector David Gerring, who, with Detective Chief Superintendent Roy Ranson, had led the original investigation, and lawyer James Harbridge. The argument is that inconsistencies in the evidence would have enabled a good defence barrister to produce enough reasonable doubt to get Lucan acquitted. These include the claim that :
Although Lady Lucan, convinced of her husband's guilt, described Frances as "not a very bright ten year old", Gerring believed that her evidence would have been invaluable to a defence lawyer and that it may have been enough to clear Lucan, even though Gerring himself was certain of his guilt. The defence could also use the same argument that Lucan gave Mrs Maxwell-Scott for going on the run: that his wife's hostility would be enough to have him accused of the murder.[2]
The official version of events as assembled by the police was that Lucan had acted alone.[citation needed] He had intended to murder his wife, and in the darkened basement had mistaken Sandra Rivett for Lady Lucan (they were the same height and of similar build).
Others have chosen to believe Lord Lucan's story, that he interrupted an attack on someone else.[citation needed] As he was the only person with a known motive to kill Lady Lucan, and no-one has offered any reason for Rivett to be a target, it has been suggested that the attacker was a burglar.[citation needed] However, while a burglar could have killed Rivett, there seems no reason for him to wait 20 minutes to then attack Lady Lucan. This theory also fails to explain why a length of lead pipe matching the murder weapon was found in the car driven by Lord Lucan.
In his book, Trail of Havoc, author Patrick Marnham suggested that Lucan hired a hitman. He noted that the Lucans' daughter Frances put the events of the night 20 minutes earlier than her mother, using the beginning and end times of certain TV programmes as reference points. If Frances' timetable was accurate, Lucan would not have had time to return to the house from the Clermont where he was seen earlier that evening. However, a professional killer would be unlikely to use a lead pipe as a weapon, which led Marnham to suggest the killer hired by Lucan was unable to perform the murder and sent a last-minute replacement who bungled it.
Since his disappearance, many alleged sightings of Lucan have been reported from all over the world, but police have drawn a blank in their efforts to find the runaway aristocrat. In December 1974, police in Australia arrested a man they believed was Lucan but who was in fact the British MP John Stonehouse, who had faked his suicide a month earlier.[12][13]
During the 1990s Lucan was allegedly sighted in South Africa. In 2007, the Daily Mail suggested this was a mistaken identity of a man nicknamed Johannesburg Jeff.[citation needed]
During a 1990 interview, John Aspinall said, "I'm more of a friend of his after that than I was — though I haven't seen him — because if he wanted me to do something, I'd do it for him," which the interviewer interpreted as a slip of the tongue suggesting that Aspinall had had some contact with Lucan even after the murder.[14].
Shortly before his death in 2000, Aspinall gave an interview in which he re-stated his opinion that Lucan had committed suicide by scuttling a boat that he kept at Newhaven. Aspinall said he had no doubt that Lucan had mistakenly killed the nanny, having intended to kill his wife, and had then killed himself out of shame.[15]
In September 2003, a book titled Dead Lucky: Lord Lucan, The Final Truth,[16] written by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former Scotland Yard detective, claimed to have solved the mystery of Lucan's disappearance.[12] The author claimed that Lucan fled to Goa, India, arriving there a year after Rivett's death. The book includes photos taken there in 1991 of a man who bears a resemblance to Lucan. The man, who died in 1996, was known in Goa as Barry Halpin (or, according to the book, "Jungle Barry").
However, these claims were almost immediately dismissed. BBC Radio 2 presenter Mike Harding said in a letter to The Guardian newspaper that he knew Barry Halpin from his days as a folk musician in Liverpool in the 1960s, and that he had gone to India "as it was more spiritual than St. Helens".[12]
Given the extremely rapid debunking of the claims, The Sunday Telegraph, which serialised part of the book, was embarrassed in a manner reminiscent of The Sunday Times' publication of the bogus Hitler Diaries. The book was reprinted a year later in paperback entitled The Lucan Conspiracy[17] (to much less press interest) with one additional final chapter, and displaying the tagline: How the Establishment Conned the World into Believing Lord Lucan Was Barry Halpin.
In August 2007, the Auckland-based New Zealand Herald reported that former Scotland Yard detective Sidney Ball was following up claims that Lord Lucan was living in an old Land Rover outside the township of Marton, apparently with a pet possum, cat and a goat. Mr Ball says neighbours of the man, Roger Woodgate, were convinced he was Lord Lucan but said he couldn't discuss the case further until his investigation was complete. The man is said to have an upper-class English accent and may be receiving income from property interests in the UK. Roger Woodgate denies being Lord Lucan, insisting he was a photographer working for the Ministry of Defence who had left the UK five months before Lord Lucan vanished. Mr Woodgate also claims to be 10 years younger than Lord Lucan and is five inches shorter.[13]
The 7th Earl of Lucan was presumed deceased in December 1992 in Chambers. The trustees of the 7th Earl of Lucan's Settled Estates were then granted an order known as "the 1992 Order" which enabled them to administer the 7th Earl's estate on the footing that the 7th Earl was dead and were further granted leave to apply to the Family Division to swear death. This enabled Lucan's son, George Bingham, Lord Bingham, to become the beneficiary of the Lucan Settled Estates. There is nothing to prevent Lord Bingham from styling himself the 8th Earl of Lucan, although he could not become a member of the House of Lords. In August 1998, Lord Lucan's son gave an interview to a national newspaper in which he said that five years ago he had obtained an order from a Chancery Court which does everything in law that can be done to treat a man as dead - so from that moment forward, given no disputed claim, he had succeeded to the title and also said that it was his intention to use it. He further stated that the Metropolitan Police had given a statement which testified to their belief that the 7th Earl is not alive and that none of the sightings in the past 24 years has been given any credence.
The High Court of Justice granted probate on his free estate in August 1999. The net value remaining amounted to less than £15,000.[4]
The Countess of Lucan (Lady Lucan) has publicly stated since 1987 that she believes her husband to be dead, and sometimes uses the prefix 'dowager' to indicate this.
Lord Lucan's disappearance has become a part of popular culture.

Railroad Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams, both Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, weighed in today with a little campaign rhetoric.
This from Jones:
In response to the White House's blog post last week "Facts Are Stubborn Things," Commissioner Jones sent an email to the White House at their "fishy" information tracking address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
"After reading that President Obama is enlisting the help of average Americans to report people who disseminate information about the President's health care plan that is different from his talking points, even in emails or mentioned in casual conversation, I knew I should turn myself in. In my email, I advised the White House that I am one of "the people" they are looking for because I have spoken out against Obama's health care plan, and I invited them to call me to discuss," explained Commissioner Jones.
She went on to say, "it is unconscionable that the Obama administration would use the power of the office of the White House in such a fashion. The idea that Americans should snitch on those who are in disagreement with the President is outrageous. Encouraging Americans to report the political views of neighbors to the government is a frightening step in the wrong direction for any American President."
Meanwhile, Williams was trying to stir things up with a hit on the Democrats in the race, Houston Mayor Bill White and former Comptroller John Sharp:
U.S. Senate candidate Michael Williams today called on the Obama Democrats in the campaign for the United States Senate – Bill White and John Sharp – to join him in denouncing President Obama's White House intimidation tactics to quell legitimate debate about health care reform.
The White House has released an email address for their supporters to forward e-mail messages and e-mail addresses of vocal dissenters of the President's nationalized health care plan.
"Nixonian watch list tactics have no place in a thoughtful debate about health care costs," said Williams. "I invite the Democratic candidates in the race for U.S. Senate to join me in publicly denouncing President Obama's efforts to collect names of citizens who oppose their government-run health care scheme."
"Texans deserve to know who will stand up for principle, and who will hide behind their party leader and vote lock-step according to his commands," Williams said.

Keith Stich has gone from wearing a brace to being an orthotics technician making braces for people of all ages.
Stich, 22, who was born paralyzed because of a rare narrowing of the spine, wore a brace from his chest to his knees until he was 17. With braces, crutches and therapy he was able to walk, but mainly he taught himself through sheer determination.
His condition is further complicated because he has scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, and has had a spinal fusion and rods put into his back.
"It was good to be able to stand up, but when I was 17, I decided on the wheelchair. It is quicker to get around. I can drive a car, and there is a lot less skin breakdown. It was the right thing for me," Stich said.
He is employed at Elite Orthotics in Zelienople where he makes braces to help others who need them for reasons including stroke, accidents and birth defects.
His job begins when the acrylic braces come out of the oven. He cuts off the mold and rounds off the edges to take off any sharp edges, then sands and buffs the brace.
"In the field of prosthetics there have been many technological advances, but braces remain primarily the same," Stich said.
Stich, of Perry Township, lives an active life. He lifts weights, goes to remote-control car competitions and shoots a .22-caliber rifle competitively.
Because of the scoliosis and rods in his back, there are things he cannot do, such as wheelchair basketball. But he enjoys the outdoors, particularly on his hand bike, also called a handcycle, a land vehicle powered by arms and not legs. His fiance, Kirstie Kozol of Wampum, a student at Westminster College, enjoys going with him when he competes with rifle and car. They also enjoy kayaking.
Stich does everything he wants and said he doesn't have many challenges except the winter, which has been a challenge for everyone.
Because of the wheelchair, he is careful to park his car so there is enough room for him to get in and out of the car. Occasionally some one will park so close to his car that he can't get in and must wait for them to come back or work his way in through the passenger side.
Stich, who was born in Ellwood City, attended Lincoln High School until 10th grade and then switched to Lawrence County Career and Technical Center. He soon found, however, that commercial art and graphic design meant spending too much time in front of the computer for him.
When he graduated from high school, he attended Century College in White Bear Lake, Minn., for three years to learn about prosthetics, a natural choice because they had been a part of his life.
Having been in a brace since he was a child, he knows all about braces, including repairing them.
"My father (Rickie) was mechanically inclined and he always fixed my braces. They would send us the parts and we fixed them ourselves," Stich said.


text: Hi all, I love computers and gadgets. I'm an RN, used to work in a critical care unit, lots of cool gadgets there. I just got a new PC, need it for work, wireless printer and router, then had to have the I PAD 2. This week-end is computer week-end for me. I need to set everything up. I haven't set a computer up in 9 years (that's how old my present computer is). I've gotten spoiled with IT at work so it could be very frustrating. Aside from loving my gadgets, I love my 150 gallon salt water reef tank and my outside garden. These things keep me and my husband busy. I'm looking forward to interesting information and ideas here.

LikeNET uses a points system and each point equals one penny. So 100 points = $1.00. You can cash out and get paid at 3500 points or $35.00. While this may seem high, I feel it is definitely worth my time. By spending an average of less than 5 minutes every day, I earn from 1 point to sometimes more than a $1 a day. I like to compare it to sites like SuperPoints where you can do 100 spins in a day and not earn any points at all. If you look at it that way, even earning 1 point for 10 seconds of work every day it totally worth it.
If you sign up to LikeNET using a referral link from another member you start with 250 points automatically ($2.50). LikeNET uses Facebook as their Login and you must allow LikeNET some basic permissions like being able to Post on your behalf and access your friend's list and contact information. Because you must have a valid email to sign up with Facebook you won't get a confirmation email when you sign up.
When you log in you will see Tabs on the left that allow you to access the different sections of the LikeNET page:
- Opportunities
- Games
- Leader Board
- Contests
- My Account
How can you earn with LikeNET?
They have various ways of earning which they call "Opportunities". Each Opportunity has budget that is set by the business, so Opportunities are on a first-come first-served basis. The various Opportunities they offer are:
Facebook Likes: "Like" a Facebook Page. You ~must~ continue to Like the page to get paid out. If you Unlike the page, when it comes to cash out time those points will be deducted from your total.
Facebook Shares: "Share" a status from a company on Facebook
Google +1: +1 a company through Google, this is equivalent to a Facebook "Like"
Leads: These are where a company pitches a product or service and you choose if you would like the company to contact you. If you want them to contact you, you provide either your phone number or email to the company and they will follow up with you.
Website Codes: There will be code hidden on a website in one of the many pages. The code will be in [Brackets].
eSurveys: These are short surveys that ask you targeted questions.
Each Opportunity that you do can be ignored. If you don't want to participate in any of the Opportunities, you're not required to, but you won't get paid for them.
They also have the "Bonus Button". If there are no Opportunities available, you can click the "Games" button and then scroll down to the "Free Daily Bonus" button. You get from 0-10 points from the button and you can click it every day.
LikeNET also has "Bonus Codes" at least once every week. These codes can be found usually on Facebook, but also sometimes on Twitter or in their email Newsletter. Codes are usually designated by being in brackets [ ]. If there is a random post on the LikeNET Facebook page in brackets, better log in to LikeNET quick and put it in the "Bonus Code" spot located at the bottom of the "Games" section. Bonus Codes like Opportunities are limited and are on a first come first serve basis. When entering the code, sometimes they do not copy and paste correctly and the code will say "Too Slow", in that case try typing it in. Bonus Codes are always case sensitive and must be entered correctly. Do not include the brackets, but do type in the code exactly as it appears. If you have double-checked all of this and it still says "Too Slow" then the code has expired.
On the "My Account" section you will be able to change your settings.
You can choose to receive SMS Messages (text messages)
You will get both your LikeNET referral link and your LikeNET Business Portal Referral coupon code.
You can set your preferred payment method. You can choose either having a cheque mailed to you, PayPal, or you can pick up your cheque if you're in Victoria.
Cash Outs:
When you reach 3500 points ($35.00) you will then be able to cash out. LikeNET does their payouts on the 7th and the 21st of each month. The $35.00 cash out and the twice monthly payout dates helps them reduce administration costs so they can provide you with more bang for buck aka "Opportunity".
Best of luck to you! ~Debbie S

Much to my surprise, I found "a pep talk in every drop". You can read it for yourself. These multi-purpose cold lozenges offered helpful comments such as:
Tough is your middle name.
Go get it!
Hi-five yourself!
Don't try harder. Do harder!
Put your game face on!
Dust off and get up!
Be resilient!
Put a little strut in it!
The motivational lozenge messages were interminable. Best by 10 March 2015. After that date, I suppose, strut will be irrelevant and you can change back to your original middle name. In my self-pitying doldrums, I began to reply to the lozenges. My middle name is NOT tough! What we need to go get is more tissues! I don't want to try harder or do harder! I just want to sit on the couch!On and on.
Truly, the multi-symptom soothing lozenges did very little for my symptoms, but they did provide brief entertainment. They were not, however, the comfort I expected in my nasal misery, and left me wondering how the "pep talk" idea got started. Who thought people with a cold or the flu would want to read these "encouraging messages"? Did they think it would help sell more lozenges? It was odd, to say the least, and reminded me of old Job's friends. They, too, were pretty poor comfort when he was down and out. Maybe they meant well, but they didn't quite do well, did they?
In times of trouble and sickness, we want real comfort, real support, not some silly slogans on a lozenge wrapper. How grateful I am that we have a Comforter who is with us in all our troubles and never leaves us, no matter how difficult our situation. As we enter the Advent season, give thanks for the Prince of Peace who not only gave us His peace, but left the Holy Spirit to give us comfort in every trial, every sorrow, and never leave us or forsake us. Now that's comfort we can count on.

J'amor Paris
100% New Zealand?
10.10.2007 - 12.10.2007
View European Adventure on sgoodwin's travel map.
Ah Paris..
We both fell in love. With Paris, with Pan o Chocolat and every French man that stepped on the metro. We arrived in Paris late Wednesday night and stepped out to have a few glasses of wine at a local bar. Woke up feeling ambitious and took a free tour (our third so far). Had Pan o Chocolat and espresso for breakfast and started our day at St Michal fountain. Saw Notre Dame, the Seine, the Opera House, Champs Elysees, and the Arc de Triomphe before heading over to go up the Eiffel Tower.
We were both a bit disappointed to see that they had strung a large inflatable rugby ball for the world cup in the middle of the tower making it look like a chicken straddling an egg. Also, there was an even larger inflatable rugby ball on the grass in front of the Tower with 100% New Zealand written on it. It just seemed a bit unpatriotic, would the states ever allow the Statue of Liberty to have a banner with Canada written on it?
Bought crepes by Notre Dame and headed to Sacre Coeur to see the Paris skyline at night. After buying a few cheap cartons of wine, bread and some cheese we sat on the steps and watched the street performers with the view of Paris in the background.
Headed over to see the Eiffel Tower glitter at night just after our second crepe of the day. After walking 12 hours this day, we called it a night
Second day in Paris consisted of about the same amount of crepes but a bit more art. Stopped into the Louvre in the morning. Both noticed an unusual amount of very tall women in the building and suddenly realized we were outside a fashion show...of course, this is Paris. Had coffee on the Champs Elysees and walked through Notre Dame. Very lucky to see the crown of thorns which is displayed on the first Friday of every month. Caught our "cheap" flight to Barcelona, which we did not realize left from way outside Paris only to arrive way outside Barcelona. Were happy to meet Eric Donovan, Sarah's friend from high school, at his place. Nice to walk around barefoot and not worry about what diseases we might be catching.

Justin Bieber was crowned best International Male Solo Artist at this year's BRIT Awards , accepting the award from Major Lazer.
The Sorry singer has enjoyed a turnaround after making his musical comeback last year, and it has resulted in him seeing off competition from Drake, Father John Misty, Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd to claim the prize.
It's the second time the Canadian crooner has seen success at the Brits, with his last nomination coming back in 2011 when he won the International Breakthrough act prize.
Speaking to the crowd, he said: "This shows life is a journey everyone has their own journey, everyone has their ups and their downs. I want to thank all my fans."
The star even admitted he was shaking with emotion, adding: "Man, I'm shaking a little bit right now. I'm really appreciative that's all and you guys are awesome, thank you."
This year's BRIT Awards come from the O2 Arena in London on Wednesday 24th February, with Ant & Dec returning as hosts for the evening.

After reading a post on Thought Catalog, I realized that although it's hard to admit sometimes, everyone has a type or specific qualities that he or she looks for in a lifelong or sexual partner. Maybe you love gothic types or have the hots for artsy bros, who wear baggy sweatshirts. Sometimes, people find the weirdest things endearing and totally irresistible, or some people simply appreciate a good sense of humor, but regardless of who you are, you can't deny the fact that you find certain physical or personality traits more attractive than others.
Here are the top three things that get me going:
- Beards – I don't know what it is, but guys with facial hair just look way more attractive than hairless guys. This might be a result of me coping with my own lack of a beard. Maybe I'm jealous that I can't grow a beard, so I try to find a guy with one. Of course, I will still pursue individuals without facial hair. This is simple one trait that gets me all stupid and giddy.
- Glasses or a nerdy vibe – This nerd infatuation has been more apparent to me as of late, but I gotta say, I totally dig nerds. I love guys with huge glasses that overpower the rest of their face. Plus, nerds are always super interested in and passionate about certain things, which means that being with that person will always be an intensely intellectual experience where they can always teach you or introduce you to new things. There's nothing more attractive than someone who can demonstrate their passion for a particular topic or field. For me, it's film, and I can go on for hours about film theory and the French New Wave.
- Idiosyncrasies or odd deficiencies – This may sound completely baffling, but I love it when guys are color blind, have weird allergies, or once, I was with someone, who had sickle cell anemia, and I thought it was the cutest thing. Certain parts of his body were more sensitive than others, so you know where I'm going with that (joking, of course).
In the end, it's important to be yourself and to do you, and who knows, someone out there will find you insanely attractive and appreciate all of your quirks. Remember to follow me on Twitter to discover some of my own quirks.

In conversation, we tend to use 'tired' and 'sleepy' interchangeably but in reality they signal very different things and it is important to be able to tell the difference between them.
A person might feel extremely fatigued but, in fact, not be ready for sleep. As you may have experienced, feeling tired does not necessarily make sleep inevitable!
Feeling sleepy, on the other hand, is what is called a 'discriminative stimulus' for sleep; it predicts sleep is about to occur. So how can you tell if you really are sleepy-tired? Look out for signs such as: itchy eyes, a lack of energy, aching muscles, yawning and a tendency to nod off.
Heading to bed without having experienced any of these signs may make it less likely that you'll get to sleep quickly, and more likely that you'll find yourself lying awake, thinking about not sleeping.
An active mind
The 'racing mind', as it is known, is very common in poor sleepers. In fact, respondents to the Great British Sleep Survey revealed it to be the most frequent cause of their sleeplessness.
Whether you find yourself thinking about past or future events, or even trivial things that hold little importance, persistent thoughts can be enough to keep a very tired person from feeling sleepy.
The more your thoughts race, the more alert you become, even if you feel extremely tired.
Heightened arousal
It isn't just your thoughts that can prevent you from falling asleep exercising shortly before going to bed or ingesting stimulants too late in the day can also deter sleepiness from setting in.
Whilst exercise has been shown to correlate with better sleep, intense aerobic exercise too close to bedtime may actually boost your energy, making it more difficult to get to sleep.

MIAMI — South Beach's sexiest beach bash took Miami's SoFi district by storm on Thursday as Robbie Rivera presented his seventh annual Juicy Beach party on the infamous Nikki Beach. Midway through the marathon 17-hour Miami Music Week event, the bikini-clad crowd was treated to back-to-back-to-back sets by Joachim Garraud, Alex Gaudino and, of course, Rivera.
Garruad debuted massive new tracks from his upcoming album, Invasion 2011, bringing his signature edgy stab synth (fans know it from his work on David Guetta tracks like "World Is Mine" and "Love Is Gone"). Garruad's sound is captivating, and the enthusiastic crowd responded by waving hands and fists high in the air.
Next to hit the decks was Gaudino, who wowed the crowd with remixes of Katie Perry's "Firework" and the Foreigner classic "Cold as Ice," as well as his latest smash, "What a Feeling," featuring vocals by ex-Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland. The Italian spinner took a well-deserved bow after his set before a sea of roaring fans.
And then there was the epic, two-hour set by the man who gave life to the chic soiree. MTV News caught up with Rivera just before he got onstage and he warned us he was about to bring the thunder.
Kicking off with his classic piano-infused bomb "Bang," Rivera inspired the crowd to sing along as they rushed to huddle close to the stage. After Rivera's remixes of Kings of Tomorrow's "Finally" and Pete Yorn's "Young Folks," the pace turned furious. One of the major highlights was a violin performance by Micah, which when matched with Robbie's furious beats, rivaled the string work of Boyd Tinsley. Yes you read that correctly, a violinist at Miami Music Week — the wonders never cease. And if you weren't at Juicy Beach this year, know that it's a must-see event for the next time around.
Stick with MTV News and follow our crew on Twitter (@AdamMTVNews & @ASBhansali) for all of the latest updates from Miami!

Here is an unflattering photo of me getting over-excited by the fact a poster for our show is displayed in the window of a "gents hairstylist" called Inness's. Could the eponymous Mr Inness possibly be called John? We do hope so although he spells his name slightly differently to the mystery man of compost. We should really be sponsored by John Innes – the compost people, not the hairdresser – seeing as we do a song about them and buy a couple of bags of their finest compost per show. Maybe they'll read this and get in touch.
We're taking part in a lovely event on Saturday, March 24, called Wake Up! It's Spring! (any event that features TWO exclamation marks and involves getting up early is right up my street). It's at the King Henry's Walk Garden in Islington and is basically a whole day of "Spring frolics" including the chance to meet the "Spring bunny" and buy plants and seasonal produce. We're on from 2pm so do come along and frolic with us.
