text: San Francisco band Girls dropped the third and latest video from their fantastic 2011 LP, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Stand out tune "My Ma" was directed and edited by Aaron Brown and shot by Grant Singer and Brown. The clip has the feel of a documentary, playing out like a-day-in-the-life-of a middle-aged woman who reflects on her former career as an actor, her story told through the pages of scrapbooks.

"Precocious Tusk Growth" and a provisional front cover
This is the - very provisional - front cover image for Pygmy Elephants. The CFZ's preferred house-style plural is "dwarfs" with an "s", so I will be going through the book changing all the examples of "dwarves" with a "v" - there aren't that many, fortunately.
In devising a subtitle for the book, my publisher Jon Downes of the CFZ and myself were both surprised to discover there is no synonym for "elephant" according to Jon's thesaurus. Jon suggested "world's smallest pachyderms", but I thought pachyderms might include rhinos or manatees or hyraxes or something. Jon sought "pachyderm" on a search engine (other search engines are available!) and found that it was an outmoded order that includes everything from elephants to pigs, so pygmy elephants would not be the world's smallest pachyderm by a long way!
The cover is awaiting approval from the photographer upon whose photo my sketch of the pygmy elephant is loosely based, there are - I believe - "moral rights" issues here, so we'll have to wait and see for a couple of weeks whether he feels it's good to go. I wouldn't want to do anything "disparaging to his honour or reputation" in the words of UK copyright law.
Meanwhile, I've got a translation from the German-language Zeitschrift der Kolner Zoo report on a 1980s sighting of - allegedly - herds of pygmy elephants in clearings near the River Yobe, Central African Republic. The witness said they came into the clearings to lick salt and other minerals on the ground. Thanks to my colleague Mike Holderness for the translation. He noted that the report was badly written in its original language.
I also tracked down some articles from Mammalia in French from the 1960s, in which naturalist Pierre Pfeffer expresses the opinion that there's no such thing as pygmy elephants, having looked at the evidence up to then.
Several screw-ups by the normally excellent British Library meant that I had to make three trips to this noble institution to see an article of one bloody page by C A Spinage, now Dr Clive Spinage, in Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London from 1958. After all that hassle, it was an article of one bloody page, but with a photo I didn't know about. This showed a clearly infant elephant in a group with other young elephants, and this elephant had much more developed tusks than its older peers.
I tracked down the photographer, Dr Clive Spinage, who is very much alive over half a century later and who gave me permission to reproduce the photo in the book. He also said in Uganda in the 1950, where he worked in wildlife conservation, there was "a number of herds of intermediate forest/bush elephant types" around.
Spinage's article on "Precocious Tusk Growth" is positively the last item I need to look up. There was said (by Bernard Heuvelmans) to be pygmy elephants "staying" in Antwerp Zoo, whose archives were transferred to the City of Antwerp's Felix Archives in 2009, but I've had a look at the archive catalogue and it's not organised in any way that's useable, and I don't fancy a Eurostar ride and a long weekend in Antwerp just on the off-chance that something turns up. I'll have to let it go.

Elefante enano in "Spanish Guinea"
The Spanish colony of Rio Muni in West Africa only came Spain's way as compensation for a territorial swap with the Portuguese in Latin America in 1810, and the Spanish were never that enthusiastic about the little territory, squashed up on the coast between French Gabon to the south and German (later French and British) Cameroon to the North. Serious efforts by the Spanish to develop the colony only started in the 1930s.
It only formally became "Spanish Guinea" in 1958, in a merger with the much less neglected coffee and cocoa-growing island colony of Ferdinando Poo just off the coast. Unimpressive though Spain's little African empire was, it was just big enough to contain - allegedly - a pygmy elephant.
The elefante enano (pygmy elephant) of what's now Equatorial Guinea was shot by a Spanish army captain in the 1950s, at a time when the colony was being formally prepared for independence. It was in the commune of Nsok, right on the border with Gabon.
It was written up in La Vida Animal in La Guinea Espanol, published in 1962 (front cover shown here), in a report of nearly two whole pages (longer than most reports of pygmy elephant shootings or sightings). I'm in the process of getting it translated and trying to track down and write to its publishers, the now probably defunct Instituto del Estudios Africanos in Madrid, with a view to reproducing Mr. H. Garcia's photo of Captain Chacorro posing next to the weird-looking smooth-skinned six-footer elephant he's just brought down.

I've been planning this post for weeks, if not years, and I feel confident that some of it will (unusually for my posts) draw sympathy from all sides of the political spectrum who read this blog. As the title is based on an episode (the final episode in the Penultimate series) of the Original Doctor Who, let me take you back in time to when I was struggling in London, stuck in an impossible job and commuting upward of 3 hours every day from one benighted part of the Capital (Hanger Lane) to another. (Hackbridge) The date, specifically is 7th July 2005, and the Metro Freesheet I pick up from the newsagent outside my house contains the nauseating spectacle of one of the most hated figures of the last 30 years, Ken Livingstone pictured alongside David Beckham celebrating Britain's victory in its bid for the 2012 Olympics. Screwing it up in disgust, I threw it on to my car's front seat and, set off on the drive, not to my normal workplace but to the far nearer Greenford site, for a session on my then employer's new appraisal system. About thirty minutes into the session, a New Zealander working at the office said that the Underground had been shut down due to 'unspecified power failures'. The rest of the day's events will for anyone in the UK at that time need no further redaction, my abiding memory is of trying about 20 times from the smoking shelter at the site to get through on my mobile phone to find news of one my relatives, and when finally making contact via a free landline learning that he had stayed home and the feeling of relief washing over me, mixed with a degree of guilt that the families of 56 other people hadn't been so lucky.
Home to the News and obviously the news that we had won the Olympics was relegated to at best, the front of the Sports Pages, together with various prominent politicians expressing their regrets and sorrow over the incident. It is indeed, unfortunate that these two incidents happened in such quick succession, as the horrific impact of the bombings had a tendency, completely understandably, for the 18 months following it to overshadow the ongoing Scandal of the Olympics themselves being awarded to London. To fast forward the story nearly two years: A close Friend's wedding in Mexico presaged from me, having read innumerable horror stories of Travellers' ordeals at the hands of the USA's Transport and Security Administration, on an almost frantic search (as Direct flights had run out) to find a way to get to Cancun, in Eastern Mexico without going through the United States. After an increasingly desperate trawl of almost every European capital (I even looked at Moscow!) like Newton being struck by an apple, it dawned on me what language the Mexicans speak... and I was easily able to find direct flights from the moronically not until that point checked Spanish capital of Madrid. This was one of two cities (the other being Paris) which had narrowly been beaten by London to host the games. Upon my arrival in Madrid in April 2007, it was clear that the government, even having lost, had carried out much of the work outlined in the bid. Getting round the city, even as a non-Hispanophile using a Collins mini-guide and bastardised French-pronounced Spanish seemed effortless. Coming (and at that time mercifully having got out of) from three years in London, it seemed incredible that the Spanish Capital could have been viewed as inferior, and it seemed well ahead of where London's preparation at that point was, even having lost out on the bid to host them!
Ever since the link between the Bombings and Olympics bid has been made more distant by the passage of the time, I have been a staunch opponent of them being awarded to London. It transpired within less than a year, that the Bid organisers, at best naively, and at worst fraudulently though that the Construction costs of the games weren't subject to VAT, leading to an increase in the cost of an estimated £2.5 billion. In fairness, in the wake of this, a variety of UKIP bloggers (this was before the near-universality of Facebook and Twitter) estimated the cost overruns would run into £20 or £30 billion. Mercifully for the organisers, these figures have turned out to be exaggerated, but independent research still has the cost at a staggering £9 billion, which makes them the most expensive Games ever.
So like the Timelord himself, let's come crashing into the present, and as the helpful Official Site points out, (and probably by the time this post is finished it'll be less) there are now 9 days until the Opening Ceremony, and the 'Greatest Show on Earth' begins. My abiding memory of the last Olympics, held in Beijing, was the by then London Mayor, Boris Johnson, shambling on to the stage behind a Retired Routemaster as China 'handed the Games over' to the UK, and thinking, it'll come around sooner than I think - and here we are, or aren't as later paragraphs will reveal.
Of course between that point in 2008 and 2012, there has been a hell of a lot of water under the bridge: A huge economic crisis, and a change of government (Indeed it's two Prime Ministers since we first got the games!), and also a sea change in media reaction and the inexorable rise of Social media. I might have just made it onto Facebook, I think when the Beijing Olympics were on, but I had certainly barely heard of Twitter, and of course thought it basically a tool for following the meanderings of Stephen Fry, rather than a genuine revolution in the way the news is now filtered.
So here we are in July 2012, with the Olympics now days away, and as though outlining the Dramatis Personae of a play, let's introduce a la Romeo and Juliet, the two key 'factions' in this little drama - On one said, we have the sinister sounding LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games) and on the other the oft mentioned here Coalition Government. Suffice it to say, the play, thus far looks like being a combination of comedy and tragedy.
1/ Revenge of the Trolls
Anyone writing on Twitter or indeed any Social networking site will be familiar with the existence of Trolls: Indeed entire websites are devoted to following the best of them. A troll is defined (quite loosely) as someone who writes deliberately inflammatory, provocative or offensive comments on a blog. I've even been described as one myself by several prominent Left of centre bloggers. Nevertheless, they are a fact of life out there in cyberspace, however much people dislike it. I even follow a number of them on Twitter. Into this dangerous minefield LOCOG stumbled like a drunkard enforcing the highly contentious Olympic Games Act 2006, one of Blair's last before he yielded to Brown. It gives LOCOG the power to potentially prosecute people:
'using prohibited terms. Under the OSPA (1995), these include but are not limited to...'the Olympics', 'Paralympics' and Olympic Rings... but also under the Olympic Games Act 2006 ... the terms 'LOCOG' , 'London 2012' , 'Team GB' or any images, logos or graphics relating to them.'
'As well as these terms prohibited from use by anyone other than official partners but also companies that produce unauthorised products bearing similar words – plurals, translations, deliberately misspelled etc. – are likely to be fined with directors of the firms liable to prosecution.'
Now, whatever my or your opinion of the Trolls, as the Kernel Mag article linked to above points out, they tend to be libertarian or anarchic in nature. As well as being often bigoted and profoundly offensive to many people of delicate sensibility, they also don't take kindly to be pushed around by nameless, faceless bureaucrats. Their reaction was a fairly predictable one as seen here, here and here. Don't forget this is also based on my extremely limited exposure to about 300 users - god knows how many other Trolls have got similar Spoof avatars! So LOCOG have made the classic mistake of using a 'Sledgehammer to crack a nut' and have merely succeeded in at best looking antagonistic, and at worst, like total chumps.
2/ Give them a sporting chance, surely?
I think anyone who thinks the Olympics are any longer about the Sport can only be under 16 or possessed of a staggering naivete which would suggest they won't survive long in this world. On a trip back to the UK I was watching a Daytime TV programme wherein an 'Anti-Olympics' protester was being interviewed by former Relay Silver medallist Iwan Thomas, and was outlining the reasons behind this movement - Watching the 'face of the protestors' it seemed I was transported in my mind to a UK Uncut group destroying Fortnum and Mason - the same stale, Marxist claptrap, almost enough to make me sympathetic to the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and LOCOG. I was instinctively on the side of the Athletes, who it must be said are not entirely culpable for what has become a modern-day circus. however, in the cold light of day, the anti-Olympics people, including such luminaries as our Old friends Richard Murphy and Owen Jones, prove the old adage 'Even a blind squirrel stumbles across the odd acorn': As the quite disparate figures of James Delingpole in the Telegraph and Nic Cohen in the Spectator make clear, it is truly nauseating to see the following examples:
Olympic Gold medallist Sally Gunnell forced to switch Tracksuit colour and remove the Union Jack flag from the photoshoot of an advert promoting EasyJet's new London- Southend service
Hanley's Florist in Stoke- on - Trent threatened with prosecution over putting a display of Flowers in the Shop Window in the shape of the Olympic logo - as the Florist himself rightly says 'Who in Stoke- on - Trent gives a stuff about the Olympics?'
Stopping a London bound bus for four hours on security grounds because someone had sparked up an electronic cigarette - An interesting choice of weapon for potential terrorists to be sure.
I'm sure other people could add Legions of examples - The truth is that the Olympics have now become so dominated by Large corporations that the sport is entirely a secondary, some might even say tertiary consideration.
3/ The idiots themselves
And so on to our next Primary player in the drama - This Coalition government, which is against stiff, (and I must confess, I thought insuperable) competiton from its predecessor rapidly leading the field when it comes to fiascos and incompetence. The week began with Theresa May breaking the news of a Security scandal involving PFI beneficiaries GPS. Apparently the firm had no idea how many guards it could provide for security, pointing to a lack of trained personnel. The upshot of this is that the already overstretched army and Police force have had to supplement the security. Then on Monday, following the news that the M4, previously closed for two weeks following revelations that the main elevated sections had serious defects , the hated M4 Bus lane, the brainchild of John Prescott , was reopened as a ZIL lane for the Olympic duration. This caused the expected 28 miles queues going into London. Combined with the revelation that the Olympic Park isn't even ready, the impression is, however hyped up by the Press, of a government, and by extension a country, in total disarray.
Thus my initial anger, that Madrid, which I know would have been both more than capable of holding a superb games, and was fraudulently denied by either incompetence or wilful deception on the part of the Original bid team, has now turned to slight depression that the Eventual denouement of the Olympics themselves will confirm Britain's collapse to Third World status, and that the abiding memory of the Olympics will be that like their predecessors in 1948, they were characterised by austerity and 'muddling through'. The difference being in 1948 we were holding them in the wake of the worst conflict the world has ever seen. What is the contemporary excuse? it's a truism that no-one likes a smartarse and I hate to say I told you so, but the truth is 3 years of living in London (2003 to 2006) when the population was half a million people lower than it is now convinced me in no short order that London was an entirely unsuitable place to hold the games. It's sad that that conclusion is being borne out in the unforgiving glare of the new Social Media world...

The 2012 Olympics is a classic example of corporatism. It's Big Business and Big Government acting in concert to further their own interests at the expense of the public. But that's the nature of politics in Britain today. Socialism and free-market capitalism have both been defeated by corporatism (and the anti-market "crony-capitalism" of bank bail-outs is simply corporatism in action). Therefore the real political division in modern Britain is not between left or right, or between Conservative or Labour, but between insiders and outsiders. The insiders get wealth and power, everyone else gets the bill.

This is my favorite.....
PARIS, January 21, 2008
By Sarah Mower
Who else could open a supposed treatise on Symbolist painters (quick, log onto Wikipedia!) with a blast of Led Zeppelin, gigantic overblown shapes, eye-watering color, and a whole lotta bling? Why, only John Galliano in his haute couture mode, of course. He blew vast volumes of air into multiple meters of duchesse satin, and whorled floriform shapes and swing-back swags into every passing silhouette.

ACRA CONTROL launches a Smarter Bit Sync
ACRA CONTROL today announces the release of the GTS/DEC/004, a ground station bit synchronizer, smart source selector and decom.
The GTS/DEC/004 reconstructs a serial PCM data stream from two diverse sources that have been corrupted by noise, phase jitter, amplitude modulation, or base line variations. The signals are first passed through cutting edge bit synchronizers and then temporally aligned using large buffers. A Smart Source Selector then uses signal to noise ratio soft-bit estimation and the alignment status of the data streams to output the recovered signal. Smart Source Selectors offer alternatives not available before with diversity combiners and simple best data selectors with BER performance of 3dB better than theory for 2 channels. The reconstructed data is then decommutated into minor and major frames – each minor frame can be tagged with time from an IRIG-B source. The GTS/DEC/004 can operate up to 20Mbps for NRZ-L and also features a loop back testing facility.
With the best bit error rates currently available in the market, this card is ideal for improving signal reception, or extending the practical flight distance from ground receivers, for mobile or telemetry ground stations.

Residents hope petition will block commercial exit
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, June 1, 2005
The Woodlands Association was presented with a survey signed by owners of 48 of the 50 homes in Stellar Ridge who are against an exit onto Flintridge Drive from a new retail center.
More than 25 residents attended Thursday's TWA meeting to discuss why they believe the exit is a bad idea.
The center being built would have exits onto Woodlands Parkway, Kuykendahl Road and Flintridge Drive.
This exit would be directly across from the only access to the Stellar Point subdivision, said resident Dianna Nussbaum.
She said it would also be near a blind hill where a school bus stop is located.
"We feel this is an extreme safety hazard," she said.
The current level of traffic is already a hazard, Nussbaum said.
"Pulling out of the neighborhood can be risky - now this will make it worse," said resident Jerry Greiner.
The speed limit is 35 mph, but he said that is rarely adhered to.
"Adding commercial traffic is going to get someone hurt," Nussbaum said. "There is no other similar retail center in The Woodlands with access directly across from a subdivision on a two-lane road."
The exit would also be located where Flintridge Drive narrows from four lanes to two, Greiner said, and it is also near the crosswalk for children who attend The John Cooper School.
Another concern of the residents was the nearby school bus stop, and the potential for additional traffic through that area.
"There are a lot of small children that ride that bus," said Esther Greiner.
She said there are already instances where people can't stop because of the blind hill for school bus stop signs.
Also, she said that because of the wetlands surrounding the subdivision, anyone walking has to cross the street to go to trails, creating yet another hazard to oncoming traffic.
"I can't really conceive, if the entrance is built across the street, how we'll proceed," she said.
TWA Vice President Lloyd Matthews said the Community Associations of The Woodlands staff would look further into the issue.
"We don't have any direct responsibility on the issue. All we can do is recommend," he said. "I have concerns about that situation myself, but I'm only one person on the board."

Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.492
This week I will be continuing with the painting of the Boeing C-97 in my extended detour from the Cape May 2nd Empire Victorian house. I will be using my usual acrylics on an 10 by 10 inch gallery-wrapped canvas. I will be using the photo seen directly below.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo seen directly below.
Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.
I proceeded to paint in the various major elements. The sky is a pale blue, the ground a pale green. Gray body color and black(ish) details appear on the fueselage. Darker blue fills in the shadowed areas. I finally had the opportunity to add some paint to the windows that drove me to paint this piece. There is much more to come.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I'll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.

October has been a whirlwind with a couple of trips to Kansas, the Hoof It 5K, Junior Dressage Camp, and a trip to Colorado for work added to the usual school, volleyball, and cross-country activities. Needless to say, I have not been on my horse in a few weeks, so if I sound grumpy, you could prescribe some ET for me.
The Hoof It run went on in the drizzle/rain/cold with a very light turnout. We will try again next year and hope for nice fall weather. The shirts ARE cool and we have plenty left. Ivy won her age group and was the first woman overall so has one of the very cool plaques. Cody (a 4-H boy) was the overall winner running in jeans and socks. The Harvey boys were 2nd and 4th overall.
Splash made a new friend after the Hoof It race – Abby, a horse loving girl from a horse loving family recently moved to the Claremore Country. No horse in their pasture yet. So, Abby gave Splash a couple of rides at ride night and then took him to Junior Camp. Abby was the most excited horse caretaker ever and she cleaned Splash's stall after every deposit, braided flowers in his mane, fed him hay and dinner, groomed him, and loved on him. In return, Splash stepped on Abby's foot twice and pushed past her into the barn aisle and ran away into the arena looking for his barn buddies when she was working on his stall. Even so, Abby did really well in her lessons with Claudia M and Sherry G.
The equine infection has taken and my work here is done.
Melissa and Richal ran a fabulous Junior Camp and our accommodations at the FUMC of Owasso were extensive. The girls (15 of them aged 10 through 18) ate lots of sugar, ran wild with their ponies, had excellent learning experiences with their trainers, got along well, stayed up too late, and survived a glitter explosion. They are suggesting a 3-day camp next year but I think the 2-day format is all this mom can handle.
Ivy and Kismet made excellent progress in their lessons and Kizzy was visited by several old friends from his days living at Prairie Lane. Gena generously loaned Alaina Sammy and he may become a dressage horse yet although he take his job as Mongolian war horse pretty seriously. Both girls got to ride with the Equicube, a weight device (recently found by Sherry at a national dressage training event) carried with the reins to help with balance, core muscles, and hand position. It's not as easy as you would think to hold a 4.2 pound weight with your reins and ride. Check out the website for more info: http://www.equicube.net .
After camp, Ivy and I headed to the Flying M on Saturday night to help with the Acropalyse Haunted Hay Ride. Ivy was made up zombie style and I helped park cars in the hay field. Parking people who don't follow directions can be frightening. We will be back at the Flying M Friday (www.mooresflyingm.com ) evening so come on out and take FRIGHT!
Meanwhile, I am plotting a trail ride on Sunday morning at the Dog Iron Ranch – should be fun and a new place to go with Lora S before she heads off to FLA with out us. Yaya Ride for Equine Therapy ASAP!

Thread: OC in the Ape Caves
I tried a search and couldn't find anything. Has anyone OC in the Ape Caves outside of Cougar WA. I do not have a WA CPL.
Live Free or Die!
Carry on! The only limitation are federal buildings, and they should be marked at the doors "no guns". If I'm not mistaken the Ape Caves are a state park. So no worry.
"The beauty of the Second Amenment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson
"Evil often triumphs, but never conquers." Joseph Roux
I think it is legal to carry everywhere in Washington state, unless it is stated in an RCW and if on private property, until someone who owns or works at it tells you.
If you voted for Obama to prove you are not a racist...
what will you do now to prove you are not stupid?
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas
"They who can who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve niether liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin
Support these forums, please donate if you are able to OpenCarry.Org!
take extra batteries! we explored the ape caves about 5 years ago and by the time we got out, 2 of our 3 flashlights were dead.
According to this website it is illegal to have firearms. I don't know how legit it is, but it might be along the lines of other places that have "No Firearms" signs that are not in compliance with the law. Anyways go down about the middle of the page where it says: "Ape Cave Hiker USFS Regulations:" Remember that it is not a federal park it is within the boundaries of a national forest , Ginford Pinchot to be exact and in the National Volcanic Monument...are the rules different in these places??? Anybody?
Just called (360) 449-7800 from the official website of the National Volcanic Monument Headquarters @Amboy,WA and asked the lady of the legality seeing as it isn't a National Park but a National Monument...in any event she started with the "There is a lot of people that carry up there, you have to be careful..." then towards the tail end of our conversation she says, "Why would you want to carry a firearm anyways?.." To which I replied ,"I carry all the time especially when in the back country to protect my family and myself. I am in the military and versed on weapons handling and marksmanship" There was a long silence. Then she referred me to to a Mr. Peterson. I left a message and will update.. What was odd was that she said it was legal but still referred me to Mr. Peterson.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I have been to the Caves a number of time just never OCd there. I have my OR CWP and have been meaning to get one from WA too, just haven't found the time.
Lovenox - I look forward to hearing what you find out.
Yes it is allowed >>>> Persons with state-issued firearms "carry" permits will be allowed to carry firearms on refuges as long as they do so in compliance with the laws of the state that issued the permit.
According to the FWS, the new law will apply to all 551 units of the National Wildlife Refuge System, as well as the National Monuments and the 392 units of the National Park System.
Full story>>> http://usgovinfo.about.com/b/2010/02...fe-refuges.htm
You have to follow the laws of the state you are in, so open carry is permissable.
Recieved a call this AM and according to the "horse's mouth" it is legal. He was gracious and non-judgmental.

As will all NP, NF, NWR, NM and the alphabet soup of federal lands,,,except ACE...the rule is...IF...it is legal by state law, it is legal.
Some states still require a permit to carry at all, Washington and Oregon do not...therefore, all federal lands covered by 18 USC 930 (d) (3) It says nothing about a permit...it only says "lawful purpose". Also, Self-protection is even an enumerated "lawful purpose" to carry in Washington state law.
I do not understand where the NPS and others think they can even restrict carry in their buildings. They are not a Federal court.

THE Premier League kicks off again this weekend with the first match of the season seeing Liverpool take on Stoke. Issues around Suarez aside, Liverpool look in good shape and are clear favourites at 2/5. With two good goalkeepers it's not set to be a goalfest, under 2.5 goals in the game is at evens.
Arsenal start their campaign at home to Aston Villa and can be backed at 9/1 for a 3-1 win. Goal machine Christian Benteke committed himself to Villa last month and can be backed at 2/1 to get a goal at any time. West Ham are also in action on Saturday and are at evens to beat Cardiff with the draw at 5/2.
All eyes will be on Swansea against Manchester United at 5:30pm. David Moyes' opening fixture sees his Red Devils travel to South Wales as 10/11 favourites but Swansea will be no pushovers. The Premier League Champions can be backed at 9/1 to come from behind and win with a 3-2 win for Man United at 22/1.
In the deal of the weekend we'll give you money back on any of the 10 Premier League games if the favourite doesn't win.

I was going to write about the beauty off the port side of the ship and how we stayed aboard the whole time we were docked in Costa Rica, etc. but I think I will write about bees. No birds, just bees.
Ellie was out by the pool and came up to me and told me she just got stung by a bee. "Ridiculous!" I answered. "Everyone knows there are no bees in Costa Rica." (Not true and I really didn't say that.) She was quite a trooper and killed the bee and pulled the stinger out. She got a clean bill of health by the infirmary and we decided to play paddle tennis for the first time on board. '
We had a noble attempt at the game and then went back to lounging and reading. Later it was discovered there was a giant bee's nest on in the netted paddle tennis area! Had we been any more rubbish than we were we would have swatted it and been stung to a slow death on the court.
That giant mass in the photo below is 100s of bees gathered on the netting above the paddle tennis court trying to get a free cruise.
Oh, and it was a beautiful day as we waiting to sail this evening.

"Modern aircraft have very precise guidance systems for landing / take-off and taxiing; this means that the current international and European provisions for designing runway, taxiway and other areas can be lightened without compromising safety. The new proposal is meant to take this technological evolution into account," said the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The public consultation on this so called Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) ends on 31 May and EASA said it will review the comments received and prepare during the summer its decision for a regulatory change of certification specifications for aerodrome design.
With the proposed new CS, airports will be able to accept large aircraft within the existing infrastructure and thus increasing capacity, in particular at congested aerodromes – and also generate significant cost savings for the aerodrome infrastructure: construction and maintenance costs of runways, runway shoulders, and taxiways will be reduced due to the proposed provisions.
"Airlines would also benefit from the proposed provisions, since they would be able to operate large aeroplanes from more aerodromes and to better plan their network," the agency said.
Apart from the economic gain, the proposed provisions will have positive environmental benefits due to more efficient use of available land and reduced consumption of construction materials for infrastructure.
In 2015 EASA, launched an initiative at EU level with the objective to find swifter solutions for the accommodation of large aircraft at existing aerodromes. From the very beginning the activity gathered experts from National Aviation Authorities (NAA), ACI Europe, aerodrome operators and manufacturing industry. Similar to the EASA initiative, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the Task Force at global level with the purpose to revise its standards and recommended practices for aerodrome physical characteristics. The outcome of the work and proposed changes were presented to the relevant ICAO and EASA bodies with the wide agreement to be incorporated in ICAO and EASA provisions.
With the strong support from ACI Europe, the material was incorporated into the EASA NPA. EASA will synchronise its NPA public consultation process with the ICAO consultation also expected in spring 2017, which will provide a better overview of the proposed developments to ICAO member states.

Nesbeth1 to address the issue of collateral consequences facing a convicted defendant and his belief that judges should consider such consequences in rendering a lawful sentence. A jury convicted Chevelle Nesbeth of importation of cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Based upon the federal sentencing guidelines, the applicable guideline range was 33-41 months imprisonment. However, Judge Block departed from the guidelines and sentenced Ms. Nesbeth to one year of probation with six months of home confinement and 100 hours of community service.

We offer whiteboards are available in both coated steel (magnetic/5 year surface guarantee) and enamel steel (magnetic/25 year surface guarantee). The boards come in 4 standard sizes, but as they are manufactured in the UK, we can produce special sizes for you.

If 3 boards are needed, please note that the back board is a normal whiteboard attached to the wall. The front two boards are rail whiteboards and come complete with fittings to attach to the rail. If 2 boards are to be hung one behind the other on the rail, then the front board clearance brackets set must also be purchased. Thanks to the new brackets system, all 3 boards can be exactly the same size.
Also available is a special security clip accessory which prevents the whiteboards and noticeboards being easily lifted off the rail.

It is fascinating, how the simple action of taking your shoes off transformes a place from a construction site to a home. Roof is finally done, ledges are covering the worst errors and gaps and there is a striking difference from the initial, dark grey fake-leather, the wood it makes the van feel roomy and bright. Still not sure to paint it white or to make a mixture of linseed-oil and pigment to prevent the pine from going yellow.
The largest window was removed, the bottom part of the frame was rotten and covered with mold, so it was replaced and so was parts of the plywood. I discoverd that neither of the windows was actually sealed (No wonder there was moisture coming in) so I all windows are now blessed fresh wood to make a tighter grip and silicon all around the edges to prevent leaking.
For the floor flat pine boards was purchased, I have bought 8 m² pine boards costing me about 600 KR. The part close to the door was broken and removed, will later have straw carpet for shoes and easy cleaning. The frame of the bed was made with solid, new wood and covered with plywood. The design of the bed had several dilemmas and designs. As the main "furniture" it will work as a single bed, double bed, office chair and storage. With the support of several genious students from the Wood-academy we finally settled in a solution that was seemed superior in material cost and flexibility.
Kitchen sink is cut out from an old oak table, Installing the gas is still to come and a delicate mission. (I would prefer not blowing up my new home.).

Bassem wanted to make the switch to solar for a long time but wasn't impressed by the leasing programs offered by his retailer. He wasn't keen on making a hefty downpayment and preferred to finance his solar power system but without paying a lot towards interest. We provided him with a unique financing program that required him to pay a rate depending on how much energy his system produces. This way he has the peace of mind of not worrying about maintaining his solar power system and only makes payments that are proportional to the amount of energy his system delivered. This system was one of the Neighbour's first clients and realizing that solar is a capital instensive investment, Neighbour Power facilitated the financing of this system over ten years. Compared to other leasing programs that expect fixed payments on principal, we were able to lease this system and devise a plan such that Bassem pays at a rate of what he is saving. Making it more affordable and convenient. His 2kW system installed on his garage roof in McKenzie Town offsets more than one third of his electric consumption and has a total installed and financed cost of only $4.5/W.
We were thinking about going solar for a long time and Solar Hero's leasing program made it very easy for us to switch. Moustafa designed a system that has reduced our consumption from the grid by more than 25%.Bassem Zaki
