The US and the Soviet Union sign the Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems (ABM) Treaty. It will be ratified by the US Senate in August 1972, and will go into force in October 1972. Originally, the treaty agrees that each nation can have only two ABM deployment areas, located so that those areas cannot provide a nationwide ABM defense or become the basis for developing one. In essence, the ABM Treaty prevents either nation from developing a missile defense system (see March 23, 1983), and allows each country the likelihood of destroying the other with an all-out nuclear barrage. The treaty puts in place the doctrine of MAD, or Mutual Assured Destruction, which states that because both nations can obliterate the other in a nuclear exchange, neither one will trigger such a strike. In 1976, an addendum to the treaty further limits the number of ABM deployment areas from two to one; the Soviets will deploy a rudimentary ABM system around Moscow, but the US never does, and even deactivates its single ABM site near Grand Forks, North Dakota. In 2001, US President George W. Bush will unilaterally withdraw from the treaty (see December 13, 2001 and June 14, 2002). [Federation of American Scientists, 1/15/2008]

Strategic Defense Initiative logo. [Source: United States Missile Defense Agency]President Reagan announces his proposal for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI, later nicknamed "Star Wars"), originally conceived two years earlier (see 1981). SDI is envisioned as a wide-ranging missile defense system that, if it works, will protect the United States from nuclear attacks from the Soviet Union or other countries with ballistic missiles, essentially rendering nuclear weapons, in Reagan's words, "impotent and obsolete." Reagan says, "I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace, to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete." Soviet leader Yuri Andropov's response is unprececented in its anger (see March 27, 1983); Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrinyn says SDI will "open a new phase in the arms race." [PBS, 2000; Scoblic, 2008, pp. 129] US Hardliners 'Ecstatic' - Hardliners in and out of the Reagan administration are, in author J. Peter Scoblic's characterization, "ecstatic, seeing SDI as the ultimate refutation of [the principle of] mutual assured destruction and therefore of the status quo, which left [the US] unable to seek victory over the Soviet Union." The day after the speech, Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) sends Reagan a one-sentence letter: "That was the best statement I have heard from any president." 'Less Suicidal' Adjunct to First Strike - Scoblic will write that if SDI is implemented as envisioned, "[a]lthough the Soviets would still be able to inflict enough damage that a first strike by the United States would be suicidal, it would be 'less suicidal' to the extent that such a concept made sense, which some Reagan officials believed it did. In short, SDI was a better adjunct to a first strike than it was a standalone defense. That made it critically destabilizing, which is why missile defense had been outlawed by [earlier treaties] in the first place." [Scoblic, 2008, pp. 129-130]

An 'exo-atmospheric kill vehicle,' or EKV, part of the 'Brilliant Pebbles' space-based missile defense system. [Source: Claremont Institute]In his State of the Union address, President Bush announces a drastic revision of the controversial Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI, or "Star Wars") missile defense system (see March 23, 1983). The system, still in its research and development stages, will no longer attempt to protect the majority of the US population from nuclear assault. Now, Bush says, SDI will be retooled to "provid[e] protection against limited ballistic missile strikes—whatever their source." The system, called Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS), will include some 1,000 space-based "Brilliant Pebbles" interceptors, 750 to 1,000 long-range ground-based interceptors at six sites, space-based and mobile sensors, and transportable ballistic missile defenses. [Federation of American Scientists, 1/15/2008] The concept is based on an earlier proposal by nuclear weapons experts Edward Teller, Lowell Wood, and Gregory Canavan of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, who came up with the idea of a "Smart Rocks" defense system based on thousands of small rocket-propelled canisters in Earth orbit, each capable of ramming an incoming ballistic missile and exploding it outside the lower atmosphere. The "Smart Rocks" concept was one component of the original SDI concept, but was retooled, upgraded, and renamed "Brilliant Pebbles" to be the main component of the program. It will never be deployed, and will be defunded entirely during the first year of the Clinton administration. [Claremont Institute, 12/24/2007]

President-elect Bill Clinton announces that his administration rejects the idea of a US-only space-based defense system (see March 23, 1983 and January 29, 1991) and would instead support the development of what he calls "a limited missile defense system within the strict framework" of the ABM Treaty (see May 26, 1972). He announces that his administration also supports the development and deployment of theater missile defense (TMD) systems "to protect our troops from short- and medium-range missiles."

A total of 350 Republican candidates for Congress announce their support for the so-called "Contract with America," a broad platform of hardline conservative positions which includes a call for the US deployment of both an anti-ballistic missile defense system (SDI or "Star Wars"—see March 23, 1983 and January 29, 1991) and more limited theater missile defense systems (TMD—see November 3, 1992).

The new peace accords and arms reductions negotiations between the US and Russia (see November 3, 1992, July 13, 1993, and September 28, 1994) are severely tested when the Russian military informs President Boris Yeltsin that it has detected a missile launch bound for Russian territory—possibly a nuclear missile from a US submarine launched to destroy the Russian government in Moscow. With the missile in flight, Yeltsin convenes an emergency teleconference of his senior defense officials and discusses launching a nuclear counterstrike against the US. Two minutes before the missile is to detonate on Russian soil—and the Russians are to launch the counterstrike—the Russians realize the "missile" is actually a Norwegian scientific rocket that poses no threat to their nation.

The Croatian city of Rijeka could boast a new 14,000 seat football stadium by 2020, if plans to develop the facility are given the green light.
A €25 million training centre has already been built for Rijeka Football Club, and now the city hopes to complement this with the new Kantrida Stadium.
Kantrida Stadium manager, Drazen Kalac, told the ESSMA summit in Lyon last week that the new venue would be built just 100 meters from the sea.
It will have about 14,000 covered seats and will meet the standards of UEFA category 4.
The stadium will contain approximately 3,000 seats for VIP visitors and sponsors, around 1,000 family seats and some 4,000 seats for the most loyal supporters.
There would also be fan shops, catering outlets and a hotel built in the vicinity of the stadium.
Kalac said planning permission from the city council for the €40 million stadium was expected in February, but that permission would also have to be obtained from the state because it is being built so close to the sea.
We hope to receive that in the first half of this year and then we will begin the detail design, which we expect to finish at the end of this year. We will start building work next year.
Our estimation is that building work will take two years, so we expect to open the stadium at the end of 2019 or beginning of 20200.
He said work on the training centre had been completed in 11 months. It covers 5,000 sq meters and boasts five pitches, three of which are hybrid, one artificial and one natural grass.
Architect Gino Zavanella has been engaged for the project. He said:
We want the stadium of Rijeka to be unique, safe and confortable, where the supporter is really going to feel as the twelfth player, where the day of the game is going to be a special celebration day for everyone and where various services of high quality are going to be offered.

TORONTO — The United States, Canada and Mexico pledged Monday to shore up security by integrating their terrorist watchlists and beefing up joint protection of borders and bridges.
At the same time, they promised to expand what is already the world's largest trading partnership by developing a single program to facilitate the free flow of people and goods across their shared borders.
"We are three countries, three friends living in the same neighborhood, so we have a common interest in our mutual security and our mutual prosperity," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told a news conference in Ottawa after he and his Canadian and Mexican counterparts unveiled their list of targets and initiatives.
"We want to confront external threats; we want to prevent and respond to threats to North America and we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders," Chertoff said. "The more secure our region is, the more our prosperity will flourish."
300 proposals considered
Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan said 300 proposals were under review to ensure security and the free flow of North American trade and harmonize the screening of dangerous people or cargo.
"The proposals today will go a long way toward protecting North America, while maintaining each country's sovereignty," she said.
Monday's session follows the March 23 formation of a Security and Prosperity Partnership initiative announced by President Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox after their meeting in Waco, Texas.
The three leaders, who have sought to improve coordination since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, asked their top security and trade ministers to report back within 90 days on initiatives to enhance security and promote the economic well-being of their citizens.
Some other proposals include:
- Coordinating programs to ensure governments are prepared for large-scale emergencies or terrorist attacks;
- Joint protection of critical cross-border infrastructure, such as the Ambassador Bridge that spans the Detroit River and facilitates one-fourth of the daily $1.4 billion in trade between Canada and the United States;
- Strengthening approaches to maritime and aviation security;
- Establishing a second site for a Canada-U.S. pilot project that would check cargo and passengers before they cross the border;
- And creating a single, integrated program to allow "trusted travelers" who frequent the borders to travel quickly by air, land and sea.
Anti-piracy efforts
On the economic front, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, and his Canadian and Mexican counterparts, David Emerson and Carlos Abascal, said they would develop a coordinated strategy to combat counterfeiting and piracy by the end of next year; create more regulatory consistency and further integrate their automobile and steel industries; and relax rules that will allow for an additional $25 billion worth of duty free goods.
Gutierrez said the United States, Canada and Mexico have a trading relationship worth more than $700 billion a year; an increase of 88 percent between 1993 and 2003.
"So we have a lot of jobs and a lot of prosperity tied to this very important trading relationship," Gutierrez said, but added: "No market economy can thrive without safety and security for its people. The threats we face require seamless cooperation that extends beyond our borders."
Three countries, one front
Emerson said the three nations must stand as one powerful trading block against other growing economies. North America accounts for one-third of the world's gross domestic product and he said investors would continue to look toward North America only if it is competitive.
"The rest of the world has not been standing still — far from it," Emerson said. "A booming China is changing the competitive landscape and causing the reconfiguration of global supply chains. India is not far behind; the European Union, despite recent setbacks, will continue to get bigger and stronger."

Robyn and I went to see the film Julie & Julia the other night. You probably know the gist: It's the more or less true story of a young woman who cooked every one of the 500-some recipes in Julia Child's first cookbook and blogged about it.
The movie has no real plot. It's just a series of mostly entertaining scenes in which Meryl Streep whoops her way through a dead-on impression of the familiar chef and Amy Adams bawls about how boring her life was until she learned to cook.
The lesson, if there is one, is simple: Never crowd the pan when you sauté mushrooms or they won't turn brown.
Despite her kooky voice, the late Julia Child was obviously one smart cookie. She mastered the art of French cooking (clearly a prodigious accomplishment) and went on to co-author the aptly named book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
And, of course, she became America's first and best-loved TV celebrity chef.
The movie, however, memorializes her as the person who somehow elevated American cooking -- and American tastes -- by showing average folks that it was possible to do more than pop a frozen tray of turkey and mashed potatoes in the oven.
I think this is awfully silly.
I'm a big fan of French cooking, particularly if eating it involves a trip to France. But I'm also a big fan of American cooking -- really, any kind of cooking that ends with a good meal in my stomach.
Some say American cuisine is less sophisticated than French cuisine. You might just as honestly say it's less fussy and pretentious. But really, American food is like the American language -- rich, varied and strongly influenced by all the groups that made this their new home.
What's true is that by the 1950s, many Americans were falling into the habit of eating dinner out of cans or bringing it home in a box or bag. Julia didn't change that. Today's supermarkets offer more ready-to-eat choices than ever.
What's false is the notion that all Americans were lazy or at least uninspired cooks pre-Julia.
Consider my mother, for example.
Mom worked very hard, six days a week. But each night, she prepared a feast -- nearly always, an Armenian feast. She had little use for cans, wouldn't so much as look at a frozen TV dinner and dismissed all suggestions of using Minute rice or instant potatoes.
Typical dinners: Fassoulia, lule kebab, tass kebab, along with a heaping platter of bulgur pilaf and a bowl of freshly chopped Armenian salad.
Winter meant heartier stews like gouvedge, and a variety of dishes made from salted lamb cooked and preserved in its own fat (khavoorma).
And every meal was accompanied by her fresh, home-made madzoon (yogurt).
All this required a lot of advance planning as well as advance cooking. She was often at the stove long after my father and I had left the table, getting started on the next-day's dinner.
Of course, I think my mother was the greatest cook who ever lived. I hope you feel the same way about yours. But the important point is that her devotion to cooking well and in abundance was hardly unique among the Armenians we knew right here in America.
I applaud Julia and Julie both for learning how to bake a soufflé -- but really, does that compare to the skill and patience required to make the thin, stuffed shells of meat we call keufteh?
Maybe, but I'm certain of this: I know which one I'd rather eat.

Julie, Julia and The Art of Armenian Cooking
2 comments:
My vague recollection of seeing Child is that it was a relatively straight forward cooking show. I haven't seen the movie, but every review emphasizes what a card the lady was. How did I miss that? Anyway, the message I got wasn't that French food was better than ours, but that if you wanted it, you could make it. Child didn't put on any airs, I don't think. I should have paid more attention because now it all sounds kinda good! Thanks for a great item.ReplyDelete

Anything that brings back home cooking is welcome! I love hearing about your mother's dedication to feeding her family. And how it fed more than just your stomach.ReplyDelete

As a trained assassin, Sybella knows that sometimes life is hard. Her own life has been filled with tragedy. When the convent sends her back to her father with the promise of being able to kill him, she quickly realizes things aren't as simple as she thought. Her haunted past waits for her again with open arms, but Sybella is determined to change her fate.
I had to laugh at myself on this one because it had be long enough since I read Grave Mercy that I didn't realize initially there was a different main character. I was confused by inconsistencies in character and then it dawned on me it WAS a different character. HA HA. This book is darker than the first book but the story is beautifully written and that darkness is needed to fully understand Sybella's actions.

Big Lies and Public Education Wars
It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between lying and storytelling, but the most fundamental difference is obvious to five-year-olds. Stories come with embedded messages that signal "This is a story. It's made up." Lies don't.
There are, of course, more and less subtle means of alerting audiences to story contexts. Lies can be subtle, as well, exploiting small distinctions. Then there are sledgehammer lies, those that are so outrageous, so blatant, and so clearly malicious that it's hard to believe anyone gives them credence. Yet someone always does, frequently uttering the adage "where there's smoke, there's fire" as they give authority to something they shouldn't. Self-interest is usually a big factor in this sort of lie, too, both in the telling and in the unwillingness to challenge liars outright.
Everyone reading this knows all about all this since we all read and write about the failures and triumphs of the human condition. Most of us are also very, very good at letting people know when we're telling stories because we understand their power, and the difference between the power of a well-told story and a lie.
I'm trying really hard to avoid preaching because I'm mad as hell over a vicious lie my husband's supervisor told about him.
My husband is a middle school PE teacher. He's been teaching 22 years. His school district is working very hard to fire him because it costs less to pay a new, inexperienced teacher. Not only are their salaries lower, they don't get the same benefits, and they can be fired more easily when the state cuts district budgets yet again. There are many administrative advantages to getting the experienced teachers out of cash-strapped public schools. But to get rid of them, the districts have to prove they're incompetent or unfit to teach.
Now that there's no limit on the size of PE classes in my husband's district, almost every one of his periods has 55 or more students. With that many students, the administrators at his school have been reprimanding him when students don't dress for PE, when they wander off to the bathroom during class, when there are fights, and when there are pantsing incidents. None of those things should be happening. That goes without saying. But what do administrators think is going to happen when the teacher/student ratio is 1/55? Seriously. There are going to be problems. The other teachers are having problems, too. There will likely be more problems with inexperienced teachers.
My husband has been placed on Notice for being unprofessional because of too many nonsuits, a kid getting dropped into a dumpster last year (thanks, Glee), two pantsings, and an argument between students that he kept from escalating to actual physical contact. He will be dismissed, the union tells us, no later than May 15th no matter how well he does in addressing the alleged deficits in his performance.
This places us in dire financial circumstances, but honestly, it's happening to a lot of people. We don't take this too personally. Neither do we take it lying down, but this is a trend that isn't completely about my husband's job performance. Up to a point, the district has used story-telling techniques to paint a picture of a teacher who isn't in control. Strictly speaking, they're lying, but if they keep to the legal parameters, there's not a great deal we can do about it.
After several instances of not-quite legal behavior on the part of the administration, two weeks ago, the vice-principal came into the PE office at the beginning of one period and told my husband that there had been an accusation from another staff member (probably the inexperienced 'aide' they want to hire after they get rid of my husband) that my husband had used the "N" word six times in the PE office.
That's right. The N word. Only slightly less loaded than an accusation of sexual abuse, which would involve the police.
My husband, terribly upset at this shameless lie, had to go immediately into class. There was no time to address the matter without leaving students unattended. At the beginning of the next period, both the principal and the vice-principal showed up for an unannounced observation.
This whole mess just became deeply, irrevocably personal. My husband is sick about it. Literally. He's got a cold he can't shake and the stress isn't helping. He can't even speak about this lie without his voice failing.
The N word.
My sister's husband, our brother-in-law, is African American. Our niece, our beloved, cherished niece, the joy of our lives, is half Black. We live next door to them. They are family. We walk in and out of each others' houses every day. They take care of us. We take care of them. We love them.
For Bob to use this word…No. No.
I cannot measure the anger and the sorrow we feel knowing that someday our niece will learn that word. Worse, she'll learn that having brown skin has made so many Americans less in the eyes of those with lighter skin. The world will be a darker place when that happens. It is a darker place every time it happens. It happens all the time. It happens to the children my husband teaches, children like our intelligent, compassionate, wonderful niece. This is personal and grievous every time it happens.
That word in the mouth of a white man teaching students of many colors reeks of racism, injustice and the senseless waste of dreams and potential.
This is the lie a middle school vice-principal chooses to tell about my husband.
California school districts are in financial straits. Across the country, public school teachers are being targeted as the new pigs at the public trough, a bunch of greedy thugs unwilling to shoulder yet more of the burden for public education by taking even lower wages, fewer health benefits, and worse working conditions. More lies. General, stupid, impersonal lies fostered by people who don't understand or value public education.
But this lie was malicious in the extreme. It was personal. It was aimed at upsetting an experienced teacher as little else would immediately before an unannounced observation.
Is there anyone in this country who wants their child to attend a school where this sort of behavior is happening? My mother was a public school teacher. Three of my grandparents were public school teachers and administrators. I've heard plenty of backroom stories about what goes on in schools, and never anything like this.
This is wrong. This kind of lying is an exercise in vice. It wounds far beyond the person about whom the lie is told. It makes me long for a divine retribution I don't really believe in, or instant karma and a cut-throat lawyer in my husband's corner.
But if I had children in California public schools, I'd be worried that the people most concerned with students are under attack from their own administrators. If I were a parent, I'd spend time teaching ethics and what it does to a person's heart and mind to tell big lies. Those lessons have disappeared from at least one middle school in the Bay Area.

I am so sorry. And, hoping you both remember that it's for the Big Lies that god created lawyers.
My heart goes out to you and your family!!!!

This is a terrible, terrible story. I am not a public employee, but my partner is. The current climate in which public employees are being vilified is terrifying. It causes a fever like McCarthyism, where people who should know better lie about others to (they think) protect themselves.
I am so sorry this is happening to you, your husband and extended family. I'm also sorry for his students, who will be losing a dedicated and experienced teacher.

I have a friend to whom this happened. After 15 years teaching Jr High and being a winning wrestling coach, he was forced out with just this sort of administrative lie. They chose something that stopped just short of being illegal so he had no recourse but to retire.

I am angry alongside you. That was so hateful...what makes me most astonished is that these administrators - people who, one imagines, went into this career with some measure of idealism - are willing to commit such a shameful act. It's truly, truly repugnant and I am so sorry you guys are going through this.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. If this were just happening to my husband, I'd conclude he probably is a crappy teacher and should move on. But it isn't just him. Not at his school, not in his district, not in this state, and not in the nation. Look at Wisconsin. Yeesh.

Wow, Lynn, what a terrible story. My heart goes out to you both...incredible that such things can happen -- especially with so little recourse for those harmed. AND my heart goes out to public employees everywhere, upon whom we seem to be waging war at the moment. Geeesh.

The Obama administration will have to respond to a petition to begin construction of a Death Star by 2016, now that the appeal has gathered a critical number of signatures.
The "Star Wars"-inspired petition was posted on the White House's "We the People" site on Nov. 14, and today it passed the 25,000-signature threshold required for an official reply.
"Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016," reads the tongue-in-cheek request, written by a man identified only as John D. of Longmont, Colo.
"By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense."
This isn't the first time that the White House has been forced to respond to some strange requests concerning space. Last year, one petition on the site asked the administration to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race," while another requested that it "immediately disclose the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings."
In a blow for those who want to believe, government officials said that they are not in contact with any extraterrestrials from other worlds, nor has any confirmed proof of alien life been found.
It might be worth noting that while no feasible plans have surfaced for a real-life Death Star, one engineer popularized a concept to build a real-life Starship Enterprise.

|Quantitated left ventricular systolic mechanics in children with septic shock utilizing noninvasive wall-stress analysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7924378 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To quantitate ventricular systolic mechanics in septic children. DESIGN: Prospective wall-stress analysis was compared to standard ejection phase indices. SETTING: University-based pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Fifteen children with sepsis (hemodynamically stable, n = 5; in shock, n = 10). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Left ventricular ejection phase indices: shortening fraction (shortening) and corrected mean velocity of circumferential shortening (velocity) were adjusted for end-systolic wall stress (stress). Ejection phase, performance (stress-shortening relation), contractility (stress-velocity relation), and afterload (stress) were indexed to age-corrected normal means, with variance of > or = 2 SD regarded as significant. Preload index represented variance between performance and contractility indices. All hemodynamically stable septic patients had normal performance, contractility, and preload. Afterload was increased in three of five patients. Of the patients with septic shock, six of ten had decreased performance (decreased contractility and increased afterload, n = 4; decreased afterload, n = 1; and severe preload deficit, n = 1). Despite aggressive volume resuscitation, six of ten children in septic shock had evidence of diminished preload. Follow-up studies in the septic shock patients demonstrated reversal of depressed ventricular contractility within 3 to 6 days in all four patients initially affected (p < .05). One patient developed late decreased performance and contractility in association with multiple organ failure. Ventricular loading abnormalities persisted in a follow-up study of these patients including a preload deficit in five of ten patients in shock. CONCLUSIONS: The frequency rate (40%) of reversible impaired ventricular contractility in children with septic shock is significant. Afterload is normal or increased in the majority of septic subjects, possibly due to acute ventricular dilation. Decreased preload contributes to altered ventricular performance in the majority of children with septic shock, persisting days after the initiation of therapy. Wall-stress analysis provided detailed information regarding ventricular mechanics that was not otherwise obtainable by standard ejection phase indices.

2 independent reviews for Baja whale watching holiday in Mexico
Reviews for Baja whale watching holiday in Mexico
MARGARET SPECTOR review 26 Mar 2016
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?Stroking the Grey Whales
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?Try limiting luggage and take an assortment of clothes for hot/cold /wet weather
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?Yes, very much so
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?It was an interesting holiday and the people on the trip were very amenable. However, I didn't know that by booking a trip on your website I would only be accompanied by German speaking people. I should have been informed of this by the Organiser that I was the only English person booking. I speak very little German and if my roommate hadn't spoke some English I would have been isolated. The Organiser did try and translate but I could not join in with any of the laughter, discussions or general chitchat.
Read the operator's response here:
Thank you Margret for your feedback. We are happy to read from you. I just would like to mention that I send you an email before the trip started with the general information that this time you would be the only English speaking person on this tour. You never know how it goes with the bookings. On other tours we had more English native speakers than German once. I think everybody did their best to include you in the group and true not everybody spoke fluently English and the whales do not care about language we just were blessed with wonderful sightings and weather. It was great to have to with us. All the best
Fiona Buck review 19 Mar 2015
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?Spending time with the grey whales in San Ignacia - staying eco-lodges by the edge of the water with lovely group meals and days spent watching and luckily, able to touch the nose of a grey whale calf when 'he' and his mother came to see us in our boat!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?Nothing major to advise but be prepared for some long journeys on rough roads and tracks, Baja looks deceptively small!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?I was pleased that as much as possible we were careful about the trips we were on in terms of environmental responsibility. We had good safe local drivers,both of boats and vans and they seemed to have established relationships with the group leaders. Accomodation was of a good standard without being grand and the food well prepared.I felt we were well supported by local people and I hope they feel our visit benefits them!
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?Very good overall, wonderful experiences with the highlights of the grey whales and whale sharks.

High roller bonuses are casino rewards which are offered to punters who often spend more than average amounts of money in the casino. They are in many ways preferential, and casinos make no effort to hide that. It is essentially a 'scratch my back; I scratch yours' arrangement.
Basically, high roller bonuses are VIP bonuses. They are similar to other bonuses in concept, but there is a significant difference in value. Where ordinary players may be receiving $5 in bonuses, high rollers could be collecting upwards of $500. Where regular players get 50 free spins, high rollers receive them in their hundreds.
Despite their vast size, high roller bonuses are also subject to casino terms as tight as those stated for other bonuses, if not tighter. Casinos know that high rollers are likely to make outrageous bets which could bring the house to its knees if they were won.
As such, online casinos try to protect themselves from these daring gamblers by placing conditions on high roller bonuses. These could be in the form of restriction of the number of games such bonuses may be used in and setting protective wagering requirements which players are unlikely to chase easily.
High rollers bet big even with their own money and place seemingly outrageous bets. There is, therefore, no imagining what they could do with free money; many of them use these free bets as a chance to make a once in a lifetime bet, a sort of all-or-nothing wager.
They may also use these bonuses to play games which fall outside their usual realm of fixtures. Usually, these are high-risk, high returns bets that the casino hopes against hope do not go the punter's way. Luckily, the outrageous bets almost always end up in player losses, and casinos get to keep their money.
Sometimes, however, high rollers decide to use the money they get in the form of bonuses to play for real money. Usually, these are people who have gotten burnt placing considerable bets in the casino and are making a desperate attempt to recoup their lost money.
Such players can be dangerous to the casino, and the houses know this all too well. While they are risk bettors, they are also calculating individuals, and scary even when their winning chances are low. They go for games such as slots where they are likely to land substantial jackpot wins.
The wagering requirement remains the saving grace for the casino when high rollers play with their bonuses. Houses know that even if high rollers win, they are likely to abandon the win, because of the wagering requirement. Even if they were to pursue it, the casino gains from the money used.
A high roller who uses a $10000 bonus to win a million dollars is likely to be playing with a 20x or more wagering requirement. They would thus be required to spend $200000 to trigger their winnings. This will take a while, by which time the casino is likely to have made money from other bets.

Quite a day for a tiny baby! The brand-new Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge had a lot in store for her on Tuesday, May 5.
The 3-day-old daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton was first officially recognized in the United Kingdom with a registration of her birth. "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of Princess Charlotte," a rep for Kensington Palace said in a statement to Us Weekly. "The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace this afternoon witnessed by a Registrar from Westminster Register Office."
Available to the public, the birth registration gives details on the little princess' entrance to the world. Her date and place of birth is listed as "Second May 2015" at "St. Mary's Hospital" on "Praed Street" in Westminster. The baby girl's full name is spelled out as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge, while her father, 32, signed the form as His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Duke of Cambridge.
The Duke's occupation is listed as Prince of the United Kingdom, while his daughter already claims the occupation of Princess of the United Kingdom after being alive for less than a week. The Duchess, 33, is registered under her full name of Catherine Elizabeth Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Westminster Council registrar Alison Cathcart, who also registered Prince George's birth, visited Kensington Palace for William and Kate to fill out the form.
Now officially fulfilling her occupational duties as princess, baby Charlotte also got one very important visitor on Tuesday. Queen Elizabeth arrived at Kensington Palace at about 2:45 p.m. local time in London.
She made the trip with help from a chauffeur to spend time with her great-granddaughter, who is now the matriarch's fifth great-grandchild. The longtime ruler, 89, was included among honorees with the royal baby's full name. The three-part royal moniker also nods to the late Princess Diana and Prince Charles, among others.

Movie review: Sophie's Choice
A powerful movie that unravels as it gels. Stingo (Peter MacNicol) is a young Southern man who wants to be a writer. He moves to the writing mecca of New York and into an apartment (of a beautiful converted Victorian. I'm just saying.) There he meets his neighbors, Nathan (Kevin Kline) and Sophie (Meryl Streep). The two quickly take Stingo under their wing and invite him to dinner, show him around Brooklyn and keep him company.
As their friendship grows, Stingo realizes that both hold secrets. Sophie's tragic history as a Polish Catholic at Auschwitz is revealed bit by bit, giving a better and more complete sense of the character. At the same time, Nathan's secrets are revealed as the character fractures.
MacNicol is the best I've seen him as young Stingo, falling for Sophie's strength and fragility. Meryl Streep owns this movie. Her accent alone is completely convincing. Kline is awesome as the volatile, quickly unspooling Nathan.
The movie will amuse, confuse, delight, shock and and hurt. It's worth every moment.

A new wave of populism is hitting the world. New political profiles are emerging to international politics. This case study develops a comparative discourse analysis of Italy's Primer Minister Silvio Berlusconi and United States' President Donald Trump during their first campaign as politicians. This comparison confirms the media outlets' theory that both candidates are almost the same, at least when it comes to their populist speeches. To understand these outsiders of politics, two speeches per candidate were analyzed through three different discourse analysis methods. Despite the fact that each candidate came from different contexts, the study showed that they both used their speeches to get the forgotten masses through populist techniques. This study intends to collaborate with the formation of a universal concept of populism.

Rob Simmons says he's scaling back and curtailing his campaign activities but his name will remain on the primary ballot.
During a news conference this morning, he said he is releasing his staff but is not out of the race.
Before speaking at the Radisson Hotel in New London to deliver the announcement on the future of his campaign, he was on WXLM-FM in New London and said he was stopping his campaign, but did not go so far to say he is dropping out of the race.
"I will no longer be campaigning," Simmons said during the radio interview. "We'll curtail campaign activities. Not an easy decision, not a happy decision for me at all, but I think it's the right decision."
On Monday night, news reports came out saying he was expected to drop out of the race for U.S. Senate on Tuesday morning.
Fighting the "best-financed candidate in Connecticut history" has been difficult, The Connecticut Mirror reported on Monday.
The well-financed candidate is former World Wrestling CEO Linda McMahon.
McMahon has raised $16.6 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and she's vowed to spend $50 million of her own money.
"It's an unbelievable amount of dough," Simmons said, and he thinks that "has just twisted people into thinking that the money is going to buy the race. And so, what the heck, let's shut it down and let's move forward."
Simmons had raised $2.9 million, according to campaign finance data.
Simmons, a former Congressman and Vietnam War veteran, lost the Republican convention's endorsement on Friday to McMahon.
After the convention, Simmons originally said that he planned to compete with McMahon in a primary to let the voters decide which candidate would represent the party in November.
"For some time now I have expressed the hope that all the Connecticut Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate would agree to unite behind the convention winner to avoid a divisive and expensive primary. No one accepted the challenge," he said in a statement. "The Simmons for Senate campaign has every right to proceed with a primary challenge based on our convention record of winning 46 percent of the vote."

September 4, 1996
Opinion 96-18
Whether a judge may make public comment
regarding a pending or impending matter
before the court
Canon 3B
Re: Committee on Standards Governing Judges
Your inquiry dated July 3, 1996
You inquire whether he (sic) may speak to the ACLU concerning a case in which you had a recalcitrant witness arrested. Canon 3B(9), Code of Judicial Conduct, provides that a judge shall not, while a proceeding is "pending or impending in any court." make any public comment that might reasonably be expected to effect its outcome or impair its fairness or make any non-public comment that might substantially interfere with a fair trial or hearing. By its terms this section does not prohibit judges from making public statements in the course of official duties or from explaining for public information the procedures of the court. The comment indicates that the requirement that judges abstain form public comment continues "during any appellate process and until final disposition."
In Opinion 85-9, a judge inquired whether it would be proper to meet with a newly formed citizens group call (sic) "Advocates for Victimized Children" when that group was formed because of a sentence imposed by the judge in a case that was still pending at the time of the proposed meeting. The committee stated that the judge should declined (sic) to meet with the citizens group and that any communications with that group be tested in non-specific terms so that (the judge's) personal views on disposition of sexual battery cases not be conveyed.
You have quite clearly stated in your letter that you believe a motion
for post-conviction relief in impending. The Committee, with one member
abstaining, believes unanimously that your are prohibited by Section 3B(9)
from having a general discussion with the ACLU or any other group concerning
the case. You are not, however, prohibited from explaining the procedures
of the court which most likely include the procedures by which a witness
who refuses to obey a subpoena may be detained.
The committee is expressly charged with rendering advisory opinions interpreting the application of the Code of Judicial Conduct to specific circumstances confronting or affecting a judge or judicial candidate. Its opinions are advisory to the inquiring party, to the Judicial Qualifications Commission and to the judiciary at large. Conduct that is consistent with an advisory opinion issued by the committee may be evidence of good faith on the part of the judge, but the Judicial Qualifications Commission is not bound by the interpretive opinions issued by the committee. Petition of the Committee on Standards of Conduct for Judges, 327 So.2d 5 (Fla.1976).
Very truly yours.

Chairman, Committee on Standards of Conduct Governing Judges

Spring 2017 Runway Trend: Fallen Shoulder
Posted 7 February 2017 at 11:24 PM | Comments (0)
Bare shoulders have seen a lot of daylight, as halter, off-shoulder, and cold shoulder tops have made it to every trend guide in recent years. I suspected that the next big thing would be one-shoulder, but its direction has taken me by surprise.
It's not the clean, deliberately asymmetrical, one-shoulder look that I was wearing in the late 1990s or early 2000s. It's messier, off-kilter. It doesn't look like it was planned by the designer as much as it looks like it was unplanned by the wearer. Like, "Whoopsie, the wind keeps exposing my shoulder! Oh well, hee hee." If you look closely, it is obvious that these tops were designed for exposure, but at a glance, you would never know. They give the impression of an unintentional fallen shoulder.
Some of you may think this trend is reminiscent of the 1980s. However, back then, the fallen shoulder look was more casual. Some of these looks, on the other hand, are crisp, structured, or businesslike. They're buttoned-up shirts gone rogue.
From Victoria Beckham, Self-Portrait, Tome, and Monse:
Some of the looks were no more than pretty tops hanging off the shoulder, which I might be able to pull off in an age-appropriate way. That will be determined at a later date. Like maybe after snowmaggedon.
From Prabal Gurung, Chloé, Tome, and CG:
The dresses really struck me. Designers went for one cold shoulder, or one lost sleeve. Again, for a moment, you don't realize that these looks are intentional. You want to hand the woman a safety pin.
From Tibi, Hellessy, Vetements, and Self-Portrait:
Even in evening wear, shoulders were falling. I honestly don't think I could pull this off. Maybe I could if I was a model going to the clubs in NYC, but otherwise a cocktail dress with one fallen shoulder reads hot mess. Not to say I don't like the look… because I actually might.
From Brock Collection, Prabal Gurung, Rodarte, and Victoria Beckham:
And there you have it. My first runway post in over a year. If things go as planned, I will have a big, trend-research project coming up, which means more runway trends are coming your way. I swear this hasn't turned into a renovation blog.
"We Need to Talk About Your Flair"
Posted 14 September 2015 at 8:20 PM | Comments (0)
I've fully converted to the flared leg. I don't even like my skinnies anymore. In fact, I kind of want every pair of my skinnies to die (unless I buy a pair of over-the-knee boots, in which case they can live to see another season).
I love how my flares give everything a more relaxed, Bohemian vibe, unlike my skinnies, which give a sleeker, rocker look. I am finally ready to welcome this sartorial transition. Bring on the flares and wide-legs! It's time!
Today I'm wearing my black flared jeans from Forever 21 and burgundy fringe-sleeved top from Piperlime (RIP). Notice the gray hairs around my temples. They weren't included the last time I drew myself.

Teardrop Earrings
Posted 3 August 2015 at 11:11 PM | Comments (0)
Bohemia always rises again in the fashion world, and to be perfectly honest, I wasn't ready for its return this time around. I had been enjoying the mod, the minimalism, and the normcore of recent seasons; they felt fresh to me. For the new Bohemia, it felt too soon.
Then, last spring, I bought a pair of black flared jeans and a rust-colored peasant blouse and never wanted to take them off. I came around. Really came around. I have now spent the entire summer in sweeping, glamorous, printed maxi dresses and am already planning my Bohemian purchases for the fall.
And how to accessorize all of those new purchases? With a pair of teardrop earrings. Time to put away my minimalist studs and go all out with my Bohemian look. For fall 2015, my favorites are beaded.
An LBD with Asymmetry
Posted 20 August 2014 at 3:33 PM | Comments (0)
I am rarely a proponent of the Little Black Dress. There's nothing inherently wrong with the concept, but I love color too much. Yet lately, as designers continue to gravitate toward neutral colors and simpler silhouettes, my devotion to color is gently waning.
Pieces that have especially caught my eye are this black Osman jumpsuit from the spring 2014 runway, and this black dress that Karlie Kloss wore to the Vogue Foundation Gala on July 11. Both are a kind of simple LBD but with an eye-catching dose of asymmetry.
Cat Power
Posted 4 November 2013 at 8:44 PM | Comments (0)
In 2012 it was fish, and in 2011, fruit. If I had to pick a cheeky motif for 2013, it would be kitties.
By now you've seen one of many A-list celebrities wearing Charlotte Olympia's kitty flats, but now designers everywhere are scratching the cat post.
I know house cats are not the sexiest animal, but this trend has a retro girlishness that appeals to me. I like it best when it's in graphic black and white.
Cool Mints and Hot Corals
Posted 14 April 2013 at 3:33 PM | Comments (0)
It seems like everything I'm coveting these days is in one of these two trendy hues.
But I'm trying to avoid "proceeding to checkout" because we are… drum roll, please… moving back to the U.S.! So I don't want excess baggage. It's kind of an anticlimax Not Shopping after a year of Not Shopping, but I'm convinced this is space-saving measure is the right thing to do.
Spring 2013 Runway Trend: Snakeskin
Posted 18 February 2013 at 11:05 PM | Comments (0)
It's ironic that the most fashion-forward item in my closet is a twelve year-old pair of shoes. They're snakeskin, they're designer, and they're sentimental—I bought them for my first professional job out of college, interning at a magazine in New York City.
I don't wear them much these days. Being a stay-at-home mom doesn't really call for snakeskin stilettos (though I wish it did). However, the snakeskin trend on Spring 2013 runways made me want to take them out and dust them off!
The thing about snakeskin this time around is that it's not as sleek or as punk rock as it was in the early 00s. This time, it's kind of… eccentric. I don't mean that in a bad way. The juxtaposition of oddball and pretty is so very refreshing.
See what I mean below.
Python with Florals and Lace
From Holly Fulton, Erdem, and Preen.
Patchwork Python
From Proenza Schouler, Erdem, and Preen.
Python and Blue Hues
From Gucci, Jeremy Scott, and Erdem.
I pulled a few quotes from Christa D'Souza's article on snakeskin for The Edit, because they're so helpful when thinking about how to wear this wild print:
"As a pattern it's hypnotic, the perfect counterpart to lace, DayGlo color or even denim."
"What we are talking about is accents: using python as a vehicle to urbanize a look that might otherwise come across as girly or bland."
"Just keep the image of an aging rock chick in mind as a warning, and you'll be fine."
