Val Thorens: hotels
Prices are per person, based on two sharing a double or twin, for seven nights, unless otherwise stated
Olivier and adjoining Catherine form one of only a handful of stand-alone chalet buildings in a resort where apartments and hotels dominate. The chalets are ski-in/ski-out and sleep 12 and 18 respectively. They are run and catered separately but share a sauna on the ground floor. From £853 for chalet half-board, including travel, from Ski Total (skitotal.com).
UCPA is a state-funded holiday centre. If you're prepared to mix with like-minded French aged 18 to 39, then you can enjoy a stay here at remarkably low cost in what is more hotel than hostel. The centre offers good food and has recently been completely renovated. From £588 for full board, equipment hire, lift pass and tuition or guiding from Action Outdoors (action-outdoors.co.uk).
Residence Les Temple du Soleil is one of the older ski-in/ski-out apartment blocks at the foot of the slopes and close to the lifts. From £384 for a self-catering studio that sleeps four people, not including travel from Pierre et Vacances (pierreetvacances.com).
Le Hameau du Kashmir is a four-star hotel and apartment hamlet that opened two seasons ago.This little complex, built in traditional Savoyard style, is ski-in/ski-out and has a pool, spa, and two restaurants. From £1,236 for the whole of two bedroom self-catering apartment that sleeps four, includes self-drive Eurotunnel crossings, from Ski Collection (skicollection.co.uk).
Altapura is one of the more recent Alpine properties from the superb hotel artist and designer, Jocelyne Sibuet. Famed for her gorgeous hotel Fermes de Marie in Megève, the Altapura is is more cutting edge Scandinavian chic than cosy. It is, however, a bit out of the way for the nightlife, at the foot of the slopes in the centre of the resort, but houses one of Sibuet's signature spas and Les Enfants Terribles restaurant. From £1,460 in a junior suite half-board, including flights and transfers, from Scott Dunn (scottdunn.com).
Koh-i Nor is the highest five-star in the Alps, named after what was once the largest diamond in the world. At the top of the town, with panoramic views over the resort, it has both hotel rooms and 35 lavish apartments, a spa, restaurants, childcare, a lounge bar and a equipment hire shop. Everything is decorated in modern alpine style with natural fabrics and is all very family-friendly with restaurant menus for kids and mini spa treatments. From £6,008 for a junior suite, half-board, not including travel, from Erna Low (ernalow.co.uk).

Buddy Guy With Moreland And Arbuckle
- When Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 8 p.m.
- Where Belly Up Tavern, 143 S Cedros Ave, Solana Beach, CA Map | Website
- Age limit 21+
- Categories Blues, Rock
- Cost $67 - $72
Above: Promotional Graphic of Musical Artist Buddy Guy.
Internationally acclaimed, a Grammy winner and now an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Buddy Guy has firmly cemented a blues legacy that places him squarely in the company of his heroes who came before. He was a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side side, and a living link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues.
Moreland & Arbuckle are traditionalists and innovators at the same time, merging old school Chicago and Delta blues with garage rock sensibilities. While Arbuckle was mostly influenced by the Mississippi blues, traditional country music and bluegrass, Moreland grew up listening to everyone from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to Charlie Patton and Muddy Waters.
The concert will take place on September 21, 2011 at the Belly Up Tavern. Show begins at 8:00 PM, doors open at 7:00 PM.

Estonia to Summon TeliaSonera Local Units to Explain Glitches
Estonia's government will next week summon the heads of local mobile and fixed-line units of TeliaSonera AB, Sweden's largest telephone company, to explain two nationwide disruptions to its services within two weeks.
Mobile services of TeliaSonera's EMT unit, the largest operator in Estonia, were disrupted for about an hour before noon yesterday due to a core network problem and didn't return to normal for another 6 hours, EMT spokeswoman Kaja Sepp said late yesterday in a phone interview from Tallinn.
TeliaSonera's Estonian fixed-line unit Elion said on Nov. 17 its services were interrupted for more than an hour across the country, affecting a "big share" of clients, due to a core network problem. The company said on Nov. 19 the problem stemmed from faulty software on two routers, adding it was an "extraordinary" event in Elion's and its predecessor's 20-year history.
"We are very concerned over very long-lasting disruptions in vital services for the population," Erkki Koort, Deputy Secretary-General for Internal Security at the Ministry for Internal Affairs, said in an interview with public broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhaeaeling this morning. "The government crisis commission will summon the heads of Elion and EMT to explain the events so we could avoid or at least minimize their likelihood in future."
EMT's Sepp said yesterday there was no link between the two disruptions.
TeliaSonera earlier this year bought out the remaining 40 percent stake in Eesti Telekom, the parent company of EMT and Elion. EMT had 763,000 clients at the end of the first half, compared with Estonia's 1.3 million-population, according to a statement by Eesti Telekom on Oct. 26. T Elion's market share in the broadband Internet was 52 percent, it said.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima face a tough start to their J-League title defence on Saturday -- and they will be aware that in one of Asia's toughest leagues, a winning pedigree is no guarantee of success.
Hiroshima, who won Japan's traditional curtain-raiser, the Super Cup, 1-0 against Kashiwa Reysol last week, get down to league business against Urawa Red Diamonds, who are led by former Sanfrecce coach Mihailo Petrovic.
"Because we won the opening game last season, we got off to a good start," said Japan international striker Hisato Sato, who scored the Super Cup winner and was named 2012 player of the year after his 22 goals in 34 games.
"Although we won the (league) title, that was in 2012. We haven't become very much stronger yet. We still have a lot of room to improve as a team and as individuals.
"We are not going to start the season as the defending champions. We will start as challengers again," added Sato, who was also the joint top scorer at the Club World Cup in December.
However, there are no out-and-out favourites this year -- and recent experience shows why.
Kashiwa, who won in 2011 a year after being promoted, finished a disappointing sixth last year. Nagoya Grampus, champions in 2010, were runners-up in 2011 but dropped to seventh last year.
And Gamba Osaka, who won the AFC Champions League as recently as 2008, were relegated last season, again highlighting the difficulty of staying at the top of Japanese football.
Hiroshima, former Asian champions Urawa, Vegalta Sendai and Kashiwa are all among the favourites, but all also have the difficulty of competing in the AFC Champions League, which involves long away trips mid-week.
On Saturday, Hiroshima face an Urawa team featuring three of their former players -- Ryota Moriwaki, Tomoaki Makino and Yosuke Kashiwagi -- who played under Petrovic, plus striker Shinzo Koroki, who arrives from Kashima Antlers.
"We are ready to show better football than we did last year by improving our accuracy. We are going to do what we've continued to work on," said Petrovic.
Kashiwa have obtained Brazilian striker Cleo from Guangzhou Evergrande, who returned to China this week to score the winner in his new club's 1-0 AFC Champions League victory over Guizhou Renhe.
"We strengthened the team as we had planned," said Kashiwa's Brazilian coach Nelsinho. "Our target is to win all the titles on offer."
Sendai coach Makoto Teguramori, who guided his side to second place, their best ever result, last year, said he plans to form a different style for the J-League and the Champions League.
"I'm going to vary our play widely. We have an ideal style to fight in the J-League, but it's sometimes dangerous in the Champions League if we stick to it. We need to show our (different) style for the Champions League," Teguramori said.
On Saturday, Sendai will play Ventforet Kofu, while Nagoya will take on Jubilo Iwata and Kashima face Sagan Tosu. Kashiwa will meet Kawasaki Frontale at home on Sunday.

Moon Knight is our latest Character of the Month, but what good is a character if they don't have an awesome rogues gallery to truly test them? That's why our latest Question of the Week asked you to reflect on the many terrible people Marc Spector has encountered over the years. Quite a few characters on the poll only have a limited number of appearances, but they definitely managed to leave an impact despite not having too much time to stick around. In the end, the majority decided to side with Moon Knight's most well-known enemy: Raoul Bushman!
Bushman is the most popular Moon Knight foe, so it's easy to understand why he took the lead over several lesser-known characters. He's had several encounters with the anti-hero, but it's worth noting that Moon Knight likely wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Bushman. If the evil guy never attacked Peter and Marlene Alraune, Spector never would have been viciously beaten and left to die in the desert. And, as we all know, that's how he eventually became the character we now know and love. Plus, Bushman's fights with Moon Knight in the first story of the 2006 run and VENGEANCE OF MOON KNIGHT are shockingly brutal.
Here's the poll results. Sad to see the very fun Zapata Brothers didn't get more love! And no, we didn't include Werewolf by Night since he technically isn't a villain.
- Bushman 26%
- Count Nefaria 17%
- Black Spectre 10%
- The Zapata Brothers 9%
- Morpheus 6%
- Other (Specify Below!) 6%
- Randall Spector 5%
- Arsenal 4%
- Midnight 4%
- Conquer-Lord 2%
- Deadzone 2%
- Master Sniper 2%
- Midnight Man 2%
- Stained Glass Scarlet 2%
- Cajun Creed 1%
- Lupinar 0%
Let's see what the community had to say about these villains.
"I had to vote for Bushman because lets face it he's Moon Knight, and Marc Spector's number one villain. He has been a constant and reoccurring thorn in his side. When it really comes down to it, he helped created Moon Knight in the first place, caused he greatest fall, and even helped rise him back up again. Not even death could cause Bushman to leave permanently.
Honorary mention for the Zapata brothers because I loved the down south story."
"Conquer Lord was the first villain that really pushed Moon Knight to the limit. He kidnapped his girlfriend and tried to feed her to the rats. After shooting the Mayor in Moon Knight's own House. He even challenged Moonie to a game of Life Sized Chess right before!"
"As for my choice I went with Morpheus. Moon Knight is a physical fighter so watching him dodge Morpheus and his "Ebon energy" is pretty cool. That and he's just an incredibly weird villain. I Think we might be seeing him next issue (#4) after reading the solicitation."
Check back next Tuesday for another Moon Knight question! If you have suggestions for the segment, please leave them in the comments below or reach out via Twitter! Want to continue celebrating Moon Knight? He's currently fighting Green Arrow (vote here!!!) and his 'Best Covers' will be posted on Friday.

The Diaries of Johann Abernathy
Non SW Fiction: A revolution begins with a single word…
Some missing words. For example 'was no singular than' should be 'no more singular' suggesting no different. The basics are bland, but that fits with the style of your character.
The primary problem I have is not with anything of the story beyond one thing… At what point does 'social' good end and 'personal' good begin?
Welcome to the Forum
The Old Republic: Queen of Hearts
In interim between KOTOR and TSL: A Sith comes to the Jedi with an interesting proposal.
The piece is well written, and surprisingly, a collaborative effort. I was primarily surprised by this not because it was, but the editor made it an almost seamless effort. The story is well considered, the basics well laid out and edited.
As for violations of canon I didn't see anything specific. The period is still relatively unformed.
Welcome to the forum
Pick of the week.
The Return
Revan Skywalker
PostTSL: Fresh from their battle at Malachor V, the Ebon Hawk and her crew go in search of Revan.
The piece gives us a good look at the situation though there is no explanation about the comment that T3 seemed to have blocked the nav-computer. The pacing could be improved, but that just might be Rev7 and myself.
Welcome back
Umbral Tide: Chapter VI: A Plan Regarding Poison
Continuation of Umbral Tide: Riddles and spells must be done quickly.
The writing is good as always, Tys. The only thing you didn't do that I had anticipated was having all of her compatriots put some of their energy into it; which would explain the 3 tenths.
As for why they didn't bother to ask Yradne, that makes perfect sense. If you had been taught your entire life that a certain nationality race or religion were automatically evil, why ask them for benign assistance?
Pick of the Week
Relentless Intolerance
Lord Zeuss
Pre TSL during the Exile's trial before the Council: The anger of the Exile burns all, including her.
The piece does not follow the trial before the council and that is too the good. The defense, that she and the Jedi that had gone to war to uphold rather than deny the Jedi beliefs was perfectly portrayed. The primary addition, throwing her primary weapon away and using a secondary weapon for her point was an interesting twist.
Pick of the Week
The Will To Continue
Lord Zeuss
Two years before TSL: The Exile learns the meaning of suffering, and how to deal with it.
The piece is outstanding primarily because it is so stark and brutal. Her reaction is not as a Jedi, but as a person throwing away the strings that still bound her even after the puppet master had set them aside.
Pick of the Week.
Grrrr . . . Atton!
TSL on Dxun: Atton takes a practical joke a bit too far.
The piece made me smile, and having it end not with one of Atton's jokes but one from the Exile made it even more amusing.
Pick of the Week.
Dance Dance Revelation
TSL on Nar Shaddaa: She may be attractive fit and a stark warrior, but the Exile isn't good at everything…
The piece surprised me then caused me to chuckle. You would think an athletic person could dance, but I could picture the scene and after watching the dancing scenes they have in the games, shudder. Having Atton do the same after a few drinks was almost as funny.
Pick of the Week
Escaping the Past - Chapter 1
Seven months after the battle of Malachor V: With nothing better to do, the Exile discovers a new use for old skills.
The piece was intriguing because of the use of the skills she did have, weapons training, and converting it to dance. Well worth reading; including the byplay between her and her arms supplier.
Pick of the Week.
An Exile: Chapter One
Several months post TSL: The Exile finds the planet Revan is on, and some of her students.
Some homonym and wrong word problems. Knew instead of new, here instead of hear, whore instead of wore. Remember to smooth out the work a bit too.
Nothing that can't be cured by editing.
Source Undefined - Chapter 1
20 plus years after TSL: A mother reveals a secret to her child
The writing style is good, the story well wrought. I enjoyed it immensely
Technical: A Christian name is a given name, like your own first name, usually not given until a child was baptized back in the Early Christian days. However the term implies a connection to a religion that has nothing to do with the Star Wars Galaxy. Sorry my Canon Monster sticking his head out.
Ten, Chapter One
Ten Years after Malachor V: As the Jedi reform, politics rears it's ugly head, and the Exile must hurry to help an old friend.
The piece is well done, the growth of the characters defined and their new roles clear. Another of those I wish I had time to read on.
Pick of the Week
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?
From the one who brought you;
What we die for...

Gill good fit for health post
Sure his appointment is political, but Dr. David Gill's decision to forgo another run for office and accept a top post in the state's public health department is not the outrage some Republicans claim.
Illinois Democrats found a clever way to narrow, if not clear, the field for their preferred congressional candidate. Now some state Senate Republicans want to shed some public light on the maneuver, all the while professing outrage over having discovered politics involved in politics.
It makes for some good theater, but not much else, especially while the state of Illinois burns down around us.
Dr. David Gill, a Bloomington physician who has run repeatedly and lost, was contemplating another run for the U.S. House of Representatives, a move contemplated with horror by establishment Democrats. To lure Gill away from this unpromising possibility, Democratic power-brokers arranged for Gov. Pat Quinn to offer Gill the position of assistant director in the Illinois Department of Health.
Gill accepted, Democrats breathed a sigh of relief, and Democrat Ann Callis, a former judge and the preferred choice of the big-shots, announced she's running for the U.S. House against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis.
The timing was ham-handed, at best, but that's how things get done in Illinois.
It's pretty clear that Dr. Gill is itching to serve in some kind of public capacity. He's a decent, honorable man and probably well-qualified for his new job, a rare event in patronage politics. Republicans thought they could make some political hay at Gill's confirmation hearing, questioning him about the timing of the job offer and perhaps drawing an admission that he abandoned another run for the U.S. House when he was offered a job by Quinn.
Would that shock anyone?
Unfortunately for them, Republicans' attempts to politicize the issue were stymied when Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, politicized the matter further by not scheduling a confirmation hearing for Gill until perhaps March 2014, when the story will be old and tired. The GOP was foiled, proving once again that it's not easy to be the minority party in Illinois.

Sophisticated and Laid-Back
July 16 2004
This review is from:
Laurita (Audio CD)
It took me a few listens before I arrived at the conclusion that Laurita deserves five stars. Some songs I liked instantly. Piazzolla fans should be more than pleased with Galliano's flawless interpretations of Libertango and Milonga del Angel. But those of us who have been Galliano fans for a while already know that he is one of the finest interpreters of Piazzolla on the scene today. The question is now, how does Galliano interpret Galliano and what is it that makes him a jazz artist worth following?
On Laurita, he goes a long way toward answering those questions. I have a few other Galliano recordings, and Laurita is one that comes closest to traditional 50s-60s jazz combo style. Right away, I liked the elegant title cut. Then it took me a few more listens to the rest of his compositions to understand and enjoy them fully. Of those, my favorites are Decisione, Blue, and the swinging Mr Clifton. I also enjoy the dreamy rendition of Serge Gainsbourg's La Javanaise.
For those who doubt that accordion works in serious jazz, hearing this CD should dispel that notion. Laurita is sophisticated, laid-back and is highly recommended.
Please note that the CD cover shown is not the one you get when you buy this. But the music is the same!

No Hankies For Me
July 14 2004
This review is from:
Umberto D. (The Criterion Collection) (DVD)
The story line of Umberto D. could be the story of any man in any western country caught up in old age by changes he couldn't understand without sufficient resources to survive. Urbanization had loosened family and other ties in Italy and indeed all over Europe, and many men in the post-war period found themselves alone in the city without anyone to turn to in times of personal crisis.
The movie opens with a group of pensioners marching through the streets of Rome demanding an increase in their pensions. After all, a new system was in place after the defeat of the old order and rampant inflation was eating away at their pensions' value. The march was broken up gently by the police and the marchers were ordered to disperse as they had no permit.
Umberto is one of these men and the film chronicles this one man's struggle with the reality of his redundancy. He eats in a soup kitchen (and gives half of his food to his dog) and his daily life revolves around trying to scrounge up enough money to bring his rent payments current by selling off his better possessions. He occasionally crosses paths with old "friends" from better days, but when they learn of his plight, they turn their backs on him.
He can't bring himself to beg. When on the brink of success at his first begging attempt, pride causes him to turn away and refuse what is offered.
He cares most for his dog Flike and for the maid in his ant-ridden penzione who befriends him. None of his half-baked attempts to come up with his rent arrears succeed including his feigning illness in order to be admitted to a charity hospital, thereby saving the meagre soup-kitchen fee for a few days. When he returns home from the hospital and finds his landlady had knocked a hole in the wall of his room, let his dog loose in the street and was planning to make his room part of a larger reception room, he fled and frantically searched for his dog at the pound where it would be put to death if unclaimed.
Reunited with his dog and facing eviction, he felt the only way out was suicide. He even failed at that and momentarily lost the trust of his beloved Flike.
Umberto's plight is tragic, but it is the plight of one who fails to plan for the contingency of old age. He was somewhat a victim of circumstance, but was also a victim of poor choices. When one can barely afford to live, having a pet is stupid. Umberto had no family apparently. Why did he stay in expensive Rome? Why did he not save any money when he was still working as a civil servant? Though his situation is sad, he brought many of his problems on himself. No hankies for me.
What I liked most about the film is its stark aspect. Black and white film accentuates the film-maker's portrayal of the drabness of everyday life in post-war Rome. What I found most surprising is that bus and lorry drivers were prepared to run over anyone in their path who did not clear out fast enough. This was demonstrated several times, once at the beginning where the buses just scatter the pension marchers without slowing and may have been the film-maker's way of portraying man's callous indifference to man.
Carlo Battisti, an untrained actor, gives an excellent performance as the pitiful Umberto. It is actually quite unforgettable. Film fans looking for action and excitement are advised to avoid Umberto D. It is certainly not for everyone, but it is a must-see for foreign film buffs. Four stars.
The Caddo Indians: Tribes at the Convergence of Empires, 1542-1854

Another Sad Chapter
July 7 2004
This review is from:
The Caddo Indians: Tribes at the Convergence of Empires, 1542-1854 (Hardcover)
My interest in the Caddo Indians stems from having worked in the area formerly controlled by the tribe. From Nacogdoches to Natchitoches, on northward into present-day southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas, the Caddo and related tribes once controlled a vast area and were by all accounts well-organized, fairly disciplined, and relatively settled in relation to the nomadic tribes of the plains.
The Caddo Indians: Tribes At the Convergence of Empires 1542-1854 is the story of how a people who from the beginning strove to maintain peaceful and profitable relations with the white settlers fell victim to disease, alcohol and the duplicity of many of those whom they trusted. But it is also the tale of bravery, perseverance and unity in the face of all the forces of history that conspired against them.
The reader will see how the accidents of geography and the vagaries of events beyond the control of the Caddo nations brought them down from a tribe numbering in the hundreds of thousands, to a rump nation of just a couple hundred members today whose headquarters now sits on a meagre 37 acres in Oklahoma. You will meet good men and scoundrels on both sides and you will see how the scoundrels among the white nations (Spain, then Mexico, Texas and then the United States) eventually gained the upper hand. Of the white colonists who dealt with the Caddo tribes over the centuries, only the French come away largely free of the stench of dishonor.
The story of the Caddo Nation is yet another sad chapter in the history of Euro-American interaction with the Native peoples. It is doubly sad for the Caddo tribes as they took an actively friendly stance from the start.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in history as it pertains to the Indians. F. Todd Smith gives the reader a fine, easy reading overview of an important but overlooked tribe and a little-known era in what was then a remote section of the frontier.

An Influential Debut
July 5 2004
This review is from:
Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle (Audio CD)
I knew of the McGarrigle sisters back in the 1970s partly because of Linda Ronstadt's recording of Heart Like A Wheel and partly because of music media buzz which showered them with hosannahs. But I never really listened to them until a couple of years ago when I heard them sing backing vocals on Nick Cave's magnificent No More Shall We Part recording. So I went out and picked up a couple of their old CDs so I'd have a sampling and in the process found out that I'd been missing a whole lot of great music.
First of all, the sisters' harmonies are positively angelic. Then there is the simplicity of the music, with its laid-back almost rural feel accentuated by fiddles, mandolins, and accordions. The combination of the two makes for an almost exotic listening treat.
My favorites here are Kiss and Say Goodbye, My Town, Foolish You, Complainte Pour Ste-Catherine, Swimming Song, and Travellin' On For Jesus. The sisters are ably backed by an all-star crew including veteran drummer Steve Gadd, the late, great Lowell George on guitars, journeyman bass player, now prog-master, Tony Levin and others.
As it turned out, Kate and Anna McGarrigle's debut was very influential in country and country rock circles when it was current. After 30 years and many albums, they remain the finest active female Canadian vocalists. If you have not yet heard these ladies sing, its time to break down and order this. I'm glad I did.

A Mixed Bag
July 5 2004
This review is from:
Cowboy And The Lady (Audio CD)
Over the last several years, I have rekindled a dormant interest in the music and career of Lee Hazlewood. Partly because his musical style is so hard to classify, Hazlewood has only just flirted with widespread appeal and has remained at the fringes of public consciousness for most of his career. Despite that, in recent years Hazlewood has been rediscovered by a new generation of music lovers and subsequently most of his old CDs have been reissued and have been selling briskly.
Lee Hazlewood began his recording career dabbling in country music, but up to this point, most of his work had been in the realm of pop and "cocktail" music. The Cowboy and the Lady marks his return to his country roots. His deep manly voice makes a perfect counterpoint to a sexy female one and so the duet is often the preferred vehicle of his musical expression. The realization of that expression on this recording, however, is a mixed bag.
There is some serious country here, but other songs range from bizarre to downright silly. And Ann-Margret's "country accent" at time seems strident and forced as on Sweet Thing. And except for three of the bonus tracks, there are no Hazlewood originals. Nevertheless, there is still much to enjoy.
My favorites are a classic-country quality rendition of Am I That Easy To Forget, a credible Only Mama That'll Walk The Line, the 60s standard Break My Mind, an excellent Ann-Margret solo on the delightful You Can't Imagine and a fine interpretation of No Regrets. The bonus tracks are mostly stinkers the best of which is the enigmatic Sleep In The Grass and the worst of which is the embarrassingly goofy Chico.
Though I give this recording only three stars, I still recommend it to those interested in following the twists and turns of Lee Hazlewood's storied career.

Mediocrity Unbound
July 3 2004
This review is from:
Midnight Wire (Audio CD)
I never heard Curved Air when they were current in the 70s, but I found this CD while searching for another band (Wolf) violinist Darryl Way had been involved in. In that band, Way offered virtuoso performances. Unfortunately, any recordings of Wolf are unavailable on CD so I was hoping to find some of Way's virtuosity with Curved Air. Alas, it did not happen.
Midnight Wire is replete with lame melodies and second-rate lyrics. The unexceptional vocal talents of Sonja Kristina don't help it any. Her best vocal effort, which isn't all that great, is heard on Dance of Love which also features Way's best violin solo. The best tune on the CD is the unremarkable instrumental Pipe of Dreams.
I sure didn't hear what I was hoping to when I bought this. Actually, I heard no good reason why it was reissued in the first place. Midnight Wire is mediocrity unbound and it is far too expensive for its brevity. Unless you are already a confirmed Curved Air fan, you probably should keep your hard-earned money and buy something else instead. I wish I had.

Another Groundbreaking Effort
July 2 2004
This review is from:
The Ride (Audio CD)
Los Lobos have always been a band that has confounded critics who want to classify their music and fit them neatly into some category like Latin-rock or "roots rock". The only problem has been that Los Lobos defy categorization. They have proven over a long and successful career that they can convincingly fit in anywhere. Los Lobos always have a surprise for fans and critics alike, as one never knows from one album to the next what to expect. Their previous album, "Good Morning Aztlan", was their best in years and with "The Ride", Los Lobos deliver another groundbreaking effort.
Some have compared this CD to Santana's smash Supernatural because of Los Lobos' use of a series of guest appearances by a variety of stars from all over the musical map. I think its better, because the array of musicians is more imaginative and the arrangements of the songs more innovative.
My favorites are La Venganza de los Pelados; Wicked Rain/Across 110th Street with a very soulful vocal by Bobby Womack; Hurry Tomorrow; Ya Se Va, a muy picosa dance number featuring salsero Ruben Blades; a soul-stirring Someday with Mavis Staples, and a very bluesy Chains of Love.
Most other songs are good, too. The only cuts I did not care for are Kitate which featured Tom Waits and Martha Gonzalez, and Matter of Time, a reworked song from How Will the Wolf Survive that features Elvis Costello. The original is MUCH better.
Los Lobos have remained intact for an unusually long time. Those who have been fans since the first are used to the bands' wild swings across the musical landscape and love them for it. This CD should only serve to strengthen their devotion. For those who have just recently heard of Los Lobos, I say why not start with this CD? I highly recommend it.

At Their Nadir
June 29 2004
This review is from:
Something Magic (Audio CD)
I bought this years ago when it first came out on vinyl, hoping it would be an improvement over it's very uneven predecessor, Procol's Ninth. I was appalled at the musical stench that arose from the grooves of the album as it played. The Worm and the Tree was the worst; it was a sad swan song for the most intellectual song writing duo of the 60s/70s and for the band that gave voice to their creative vision. The words and music reeked of creative and spiritual exhaustion.
In the last couple of years, I have rediscovered my old love for the music of Procol Harum and have been building a CD library that includes many recordings that were not readily available in the days of the LP. Recently, I decided to give Something Magic another shot and so ordered this remastered reissue.
Repertoire Records has done a fine job presenting this recording in the most attractive light possible. Included with the CD is an informative and well-written booklet that gives the listener an idea as to why Procol Harum was on the rocks at this time.
Now that I have revisited the album and have listened with new ears, I find that it has risen in my esteem. Gary Brooker and Keith Reid were still a formidable songwriting team. Just read the lyrics of the first four songs and listen to the musical arrangements on them. They scream classic Procol Harum. Even The Mark of the Claw, the music for which was written by Mick Grabham, is Brookeresque in its sound.
The Worm and the Tree remains problematic. The music, particularly in part one is often gorgeous and dreamy. The lyrics on the other hand, though they are meant to be allegorical, are often maudlin and jejune. As for the final two "bonus" cuts, they are OK, but rather disposable and not worthy of the Procol Harum I knew.
Though this album may not delight everyone, those who are Procol Harum fans should own it to remind themselves that even at their nadir, this was (and is again) a very good band. On the strength of the first four songs and select parts of the infamous Worm and the Tree, this CD rates a solid three.

His Best Effort Yet
June 29 2004
This review is from:
Ashgrove (Audio CD)
Dave Alvin, while always good, has gotten progressively better over the years and Ashgrove arguably marks his best effort yet. Despite a string of fine CDs under his belt, Alvin has thus far failed to gain a wide audience beyond Southern California and a few cognoscenti scattered around the globe. This is the CD that should finally bring him the notice and acclaim he has long deserved. With the proper promotion, this album should attract alt-country and blues-rock fans, as well as cementing his musical ties with his established fan base.
Ashgrove starts strongly with the hard-rocking title cut and alternates harder rock and blues numbers with country-tinged ballads. I like the whole CD, though a couple of the softer numbers, The Man In The Bed and Somewhere In Time are on the weak side. My favorites are the evocative ballad Rio Grande, the searing Black Sky, the blistering rocker Out Of Control, and the plaintive ballad, Everett Reuss.
I certainly owe my friend Felice Kay, as she is one of the cognoscenti who brought Alvin's music to my attention several years ago. Without her tip, I may never have discovered him.
Obviously, Ashgrove has my highest recommendation. If you are not yet a confirmed Dave Alvin fan, this CD will make you one.

Pillar of the Blues
June 28 2004
This review is from:
Essential (Audio CD)
I don't know if the songs on this CD really represent the "essential" Arthur Crudup because I haven't heard all of his recordings. But at least they are a useful overview of his career.
Most people my age, even if they are not blues fans, have heard at least some rendition of a Crudup song. He has been covered by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Marty Robbins, and Eric Clapton. Among songs most familiar to my generation are Mean Old Frisco Blues, That's All Right, and My Mama Don't Allow Me.
There is a lot of rock and roll in a Crudup blues song and that's probably one reason his music has been accessible to successive generations of rockers. I like the whole album, it has a raw feeling that takes the listener way back to the bare roots of rock and roll. Crudup has a powerful voice and an engaging style of play.
My sole criticism of this compilation is that a few of the songs included sound like another (Crudup) song with only the lyrics changed. For example, compare and contrast I Want My Lovin', That's All Right, and I Don't Know It. You'll hear that the only substantial differences among the three are the lyrics. He has done so much that the label compiling this disc could have left in That's All Right and canned the other two in favor of a couple of other important tunes.
With 36 songs, the CD is a real value. Included are liner notes featuring a short but interesting story of Crudup's life. His story will surprise many who have a stereotyped view of the life of a bluesman. Arthur Crudup was not only a pillar of the blues, but can be considered one of the founding fathers of rock and roll. For those who seek the roots of the genre, this CD is a worthwhile buy.

A very comfortable Art Deco hotel with plenty of space in the bedroom and bathroom. Location was excellent, right next to the trains and plenty of good restaurants nearby. But the hotel public spaces needed renovation and the wifi cost £14 a day! and was flakey.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton London Paddington
Wonderful experience
Convenience of Heathrow Express was welcome after a transatlantic flight. Reception was welcoming. Deluxe Room met all of our expectations - high speed internet, bright and roomy. Staff very helpful. Would defintetly stay there again. Negatives was that Business Centre was not operating (might have been due to New Year holidays) and breakfasts are overpriced.
Good location but average hotel
Very convenient for the Heathrow Express. Nevertheless, I was dissapointed because of the noise. Even in the back rooms, you are getting disturbed by the 24 hours activities of Paddington station. Had a DELUXE room, OK and clean. Bathroom could be bigger. Will chose another location for my next trip.
Absolutely superb hotel.
The Heathrow airport hotel in Central London. Stayed here on my way into Europe and when I went back. Only 15 minutes from Heathrow and the other end of the Heathrow Express. Impressive Victorian building and according to the concierge originally the first 5 star hotel in London -= Grand, Deluxe & superb
Good Location but Average Customer Service
I have stayed at this hotel more than 100 night this year and am a Diamond Hilton Honors member. As such I get upgraded to the bigger rooms and have access to the executive lounge. But usually I find the front desk staff will not volunteer such perqs and you have to ask for them. While there are a few bright people, most of the staff could use some customer service training. They hold rigidly to the rules set by management when they should be providing guest services. They seem to always run out of face cloths and the housekeeping is in consistent.
The computers (only two) in the busness center rarely work. And while they advertise late night dining in the Steam Bar, it is only bar snacks. If you have the choice, try to stay away from the outside rooms as street noise can be a problem. Unfortunately, these also tend to be the deluxe rooms. But I see these problems because of my long stay here. It is a great location for transportation links and there are many good restaurants within walking distance. This would still be my choice in London to avoid the higher priced central hotels.
Convenience and comfort
Like others, I stayed here because of the convenience, and really like not only being able to step right from the Heathrow Express train to the reception desk, but also like being able to go down to the station shops for a newspaper and a latte in the morning. I actually stayed here the first week it was open after the refurbishment, and again several months later. I was very happy with it -- generously sized rooms, crisp cotton duvet covers. Maybe the bathrooms (at least in the single rooms I stayed in) could have been a bit more luxe. The only other caveat is that if there is a wedding or other event in the reception rooms, the sound really reverberates up to the floors above -- if you're a light sleeper, you may want to stay on the other side of the hotel.
Deceptively Good Location
I booked the Paddington Hilton to save me from having to endure the rail replacement bus service back home on a Saturday night after the theatre. I chose this hotel over hotels in the West End because of the very reasonable room rate (�70 B&B), the fact that all the rooms boasted air conditioning and that the Bakerloo Line gets you to the West End in just 10 minutes. The hotel itself is very grand and you can certainly see where the �60million pounds of makeover money went. I had booked a standard room, but decided to upgrade for �20 to a deluxe kingsize room which gave me a larger room, larger bed and a small seating area. The room was well decorated and very light and airy with two large sash windows. The bathroom was clean and well lit. Breakfast was superb although I certainly wouldn't have eaten there if it hadn't been included in the rate, �18.50 is a bit steep!Overall an excellent hotel in a deceptively good location for the whole of London.
Great location (but a iffy neighbourhood)
Stayed 17 May - 19 May. Great hotel - formerly the Great Western Royal - a once British railways hotel. Totally renovated in last 2 years and under Hilton management - hotel in the grand manner of Victorian hotels. I had a executive deluxe on level six- large room with mod furnishings and marble bathroom - small windows but they do open slightly for air. TV has limited cable including news (CNN, BBC World and oversea's eurpoean and arabic channels). Internet access through TV at 10 pence per minute (however internet access at Business Centre was free when I used it both times - 2 terminals). Views were onto internal court yard (however there are rooms looking onto the street). Minibar (however, my only bugbear is that its one of those that automatically charges if your remove anything for a second to look at it or even touch it- I had some chocolates as gifts I wished to store and the hotel wished to charge GBP2.80 for someone to come up to remove - they believe it was a service they were providing - this was the biggest ripoff I have ever come across in my life travelling anywhere in the world even though it was waived when I argued. They did offer to store the items in the hotel fridge but for a five star hotel this was totally unsatisfactory). Lobby had a lounge for drinks/ afternoon tea, good restaurant with full buffet breakfast (didn't go to the bar which is called "Steam") Club/Exectutive lounge has special elevator access - in basement (not as bad as it sounds). Wood panelled room with single internet, a tv, papers, help yourself bar set up (about 6 bottles of various house brands) plus champange, coffee machine and iced soft drinks. Continental breakfast was served here or if you wanted full breakfast your could have it in the restaurant no extra charge. Free drinks available up till 9pm. Afternoon tea also served in Club lounge with cakes, sandwiches and scones/ clotted cream and jam (all help yourself) for Club room members. Other nibbles available between times. Five minute w with airline checkin desks for Heathrow and 15 minute train ride (plus access to underground). Several restaurants/ cafes outside hotel (Garfunkels, Angus Steakhouse, KFC) but not the most wealthy of neighbourhoods although never felt threatened as always busy. Parking available but at a high cost - you can drop off luggage at hotel out front (small parking area) and then drop off car (if hired) elsewhere in London as we did. Overall, very happy with hotel and would stay again - very helpful staff. Sorry for long review.
Good Road Warrior Hotel
I have stayed here 4-5 times since it opened, 2 years ago. Since it was a complete renovation, everything is new. I love landing at LHR and taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington and walking upstairs to my room. Rooms are all new and clean and very nice sized for London. Beds are very comfortable. There are places to eat and drink and a Sainsbury market in Paddington Station. Drop down another floor and you are in the Tube station. Not a great neighbor hood, but catch a train downstairs and you can be in Oxford or Bath in an hour or so. Steam, the bar off the lobby is nice and rocks on the weekends. Too bad they don't have a no smoking section. Internet cafe across the street and a good gormet wine/food store down the street on the right, as you come out of the hotel.
We stayed at the Hilton Paddington on the 22nd December, 2002 and what a fabulous experience it was.We have stayed at some lovely hotels around the world but this is the best hotel by far, in the UK.We just didn't want to leave.Definately recommended.
Everything about my stay here was outstanding. The room was unbelievably nice, the staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. Not the best area around the hotel, but Paddington station is 30 seconds away.

After a great nights sleep in Singapore, we left early morning for London, flying economy Singapore Airlines. What a difference a good cabin service makes! The crew were very attentive all the way there, unlike Qantas staff who throw you a bottle of water after dinner and then disappear until arrival time.
We arrived in London Friday …

... cosy kitchen on such a cold day and we had a yummy dinner. Steve is a wonderful jazz pianist with a grand piano in the living room and we had a big jam session with Declan playing guitar and me singing. It was really fun.

What a shocker it was. When we heard the startling announcement that Lake Shore Health Care Center was going to close its doors, we were completely devastated. The official announcement made by the Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York was unbelievable.
An absolute imperative for this area is available, appropriate, 24/7 hospital care. And, in a health care emergency, distance is of the essence; timing is critical.
All of us recall the catastrophic flood that occurred in the Gowanda area four years ago. Because of the flood, the demise of Tri-County Hospital in Gowanda seriously impacted a broad spectrum of the population. And then, on top of that, there came the calamitous news about the closing of the Lake Shore hospital campus. The news has been utterly devastating.
People of all ages in the Gowanda and Lake Shore area depend on its facilities and services for quality health care. We call on federal, state, regional and local officials to move expeditiously to create a transformational plan for the continuation of the Lake Shore facility.
The availability of hospital services is vital to a growing population of elderly. And we haven't even mentioned the positive impact a creative resolution would have on jobs and the local economy.
An earlier generation of citizens recognized the medical needs of the people and moved forward with the development and construction of both the Lake Shore and Tri-County hospitals. The need is still there.
Patients and their families come from a broad geographical region – Little Valley to Cherry Creek, from the Amish Trail to North Collins and Forestville and well beyond the expanse of the Routes 5 and 20 corridor – to use the Lake Shore facility.
A local hospital is a necessity for this area. Let it be said that our current generation of leadership recognizes its health care mission.
Let it be said that our leaders of today are as resilient as those of the past, and will meet the challenges of the present and future health care needs. They, along with all of us, must respond with constructive determination. For you see, it is the pressing health needs of the people, from the youngest to the most elderly, that must serve as the ultimate priority.
Maintaining vibrant hospital services to this broad and very much in need geographical region is essential. As a united body, we can do no less. Together we must stand: the people, the staff and the board. What a powerful triangulation.
Dr. Robert L. Heichberger, Ph.D., is professor emeritus at SUNY Fredonia State and a distinguished professor at Capella University. He has served as vice president of the Tri-County Hospital board of directors.

Im getting an error from django-celery that has had me totally stumped for the best part of a day now.
IM using django-haystack and have a celery task that gets run whenever a model that is part of the search index is updated. I have a custom QueuedSearchIndex class that connect to the models post_save and post_delete signals. This works fine for one model but not another which is the User model from django.contrib.auth
When a user model is created / updated the following error appears from celery.
Problem installing fixture '/believein/data/www/platform/believein/fixtures/user.json': Traceback (most recent call last):

As you can see this example was raised when loading fixtures but its the same when editing the model normally. This is the case for both new instances of User and updating instances that exist already. My task looks like the following
def update_search_index(index, instance, backend):
"""task to update the solr index when a model is updated
:param index: instance of the ``SearchIndex``
:param instance: the model that was updated
:type instance: ``django.db.models.Model``
:param backend: the search back instance
:type backend: ``haystack.backends.solr_backend``
see ``main.utils.search.QueuedSearchIndex`` for more info
backend.update(index, [instance])
The searchindex class looks like the following
class QueuedSearchIndex(RealTimeSearchIndex):
def update_object(self, instance, **kwargs):
"""Handles updating the index when a model is updated by pushing
the update through celery
:param instance: the instance of the model that was updated
:type instance: django.db.models.Model
if self.should_update(instance, **kwargs):
update_search_index.delay(self, instance, self.backend)
It may be worth mentioning that the User model has a One2One relationship with a UserProfile model that has a post_save signal on the User model to create UserProfile instance if one dosent already exist.

The word wrap is not working on my blog. I don't know code...so if I have to fix it that way I am almost doomed. However, I can try. Basically in the blog it just runs off the page.
I did a little editing of the footer.php and removed a line of code that was a line of text I did not want. Did that mess it up? If so I have no idea what the exact code is.
If you need a link to the blog tell me, but I have a coming soon plugin so you must register to see it. PLEASE HELP!

Othello Timeline and Summary
- 1.1 Iago reveals that Othello has secretly married Desdemona.
- 1.2 Othello faces a showdown with Brabantio, Desdemona's angry father. The tiff is cut short when the Duke orders that Othello get himself over to the Duke's chambers, sooner rather than later.
- 1.3 Othello explains how Desdemona and he fell in love. Desdemona has his back. The Duke says the marriage seems legit, and sends Othello off to fight an enemy fleet.
- 2.1 The enemy fleet destroyed, Othello arrives at Cyprus and joyfully greets his wife. It's time for the honeymoon.
- 2.3 Othello and Desdemona finally get some alone time, but then they're interrupted when Cassio gets into a drunken brawl. Othello, furious, fires him.
- 3.2 Othello and Iago tour the city.
- 3.3 Othello comes back to find Cassio slinking away from a conversation with Desdemona. He and his wife play-fight in that annoying newlywed way. But Iago slowly starts messing with Othello's mind and convinces Othello that Desdemona's cheating on him with Cassio. Othello demands proof of Iago's claim, but already believes him, proof or not. He swears to punish his wife and Cassio with death.
- 3.4 Othello, suspicious, asks Desdemona where the special handkerchief he gave her is. Because Iago has had it stolen, Desdemona can't produce it. She doesn't want to admit this, though, so she and Othello get in a huge fight.
- 4.1 Iago torments Othello with more graphic images of Desdemona's cheating, so much so that Othello has a brief epileptic fit. Then Iago sets up a conversation with Cassio so that Othello thinks he's hearing them talk about Desdemona when, really, Cassio's talking about a prostitute. After this, when Desdemona comes in with a visitor announcing that Othello is called back to Venice, Othello gets so angry that he hits his wife in front of everyone.
- 4.2 Othello tries to get Emilia to confess that Desdemona is having an affair. Emilia says it just isn't true. Then Othello confronts Desdemona and calls her a whore. Desdemona denies it, but Othello doesn't believe her.
- 5.1 Othello oversees what he thinks is Cassio's murder, and is satisfied.
- 5.2 Othello strangles Desdemona. Emilia comes in and raises the alarm. When Othello tells her why he thinks Desdemona cheated on him, Emilia realizes that this must be a plot by her husband. She tells Othello the truth, and he responds by trying to stab Iago and failing in the process. Iago refuses to tell Othello why he destroyed his life. Othello, heartbroken, stabs himself and dies next to Desdemona.

News Re: Kerlikowske on KUOW
posted by June 28 at 9:15 AMon
Dan is right. Sending Gil off the island will help. And it will help in more significant ways than just making us feel better.
You see: The problem with our police accountability system is that the mayor has not held Kerlikowske accountable. Having a hammer in our 3-tiered accountability systemwhich believe it or not is better than most city's oversight systemsis the final piece. That piece could exist if the mayor took his hire and fire role seriously. He has not. And that's the only problem with our system right now.
It's time for the council to step and take over where the mayor has failed.

I've got some fairly specific questions on the DVD keys in the Samsung drives. I'm looking at the frimware for both a ms25 and an ms28. From what I've read you can grab everything from 4000 to 41ff when you need to insert your key into 'other' firmwares, but I'm working specifically with the stock. Can anyone confirm or deny these questions/statements:
1. It appears that the key on the ms25 is located specifically at 401a to 4029. The ms28 key is at 40ec to 40fb. (again, I'm looking for confirmation, don't take this as solid fact)
2. Has anyone tried using a key from a ms25 in a ms28, or vice versa? Can you copy everything from 4000 to 41ff? Do you need to move the actual key so that it is located at the sectors I've listed in my first statement? And since we're at it, does the key need to be specifically at these points if you are using an xtreme firmware, and does that change depending on the version of xtreme firmware being used?
Here's a little tidbit I've noticed while trying to read my ms28 firmwares, hopefully this leads to some good (and fewer headaches). I've used the vcc method of accessinging my ms28 firmware. I'm using the first run of the connectivity kit, so I am providing power to the Samsung drive while my PC boots. I leave the switch that I've installed open during boot up (essentially the resistor is removed). This causes a very long hang during the post, usually between one and two minutes. I am using mtkflash (not SAMREAD, as far as I can tell, this is all the same, SAMREAD is just somewhat automated) If I attempt to read at this point, I will usually see status 51 from the drive, and I am unable to read or write to the drive.
Occasionally, I've noticed the post hang for only 20 to 30 seconds. When this is the case, I will attempt the read with mtkflash, closing the switch before I choose which device to read. This results in a successful read almost every time
