A few years ago, on a trip to Venice, Fla., I attended an orchid show at a local church and came across a beautiful new plant: Jewel Orchid, Ludisia discolor.
When I sought to purchase one of my own, I was told if I could grow African violets, I could grow Ludisias. My plant has dark, velvety maroon leaves with reddish veining. I use a good potting soil, like Scotts or Schultz and when fertilizing every two months, I use a very weak solution of Miracle Gro.
I keep my Jewel Orchids by a window with bright light and filtered sun. If you want to maintain the rich, dark red color of the leaves, don't give these plants too much light. An over-abundance will bleach leaves to a pale color.
In their natural habitat, Jewel Orchids grow in areas of low light, so you need to keep them away from the strong rays of the sun. They do, however, like to be grown in a warm environment and enjoy lots of humidity.
Ludisias, the most popular of the Jewel Orchids, are a group of ground-dwelling plants that require higher humidity and warmer temperatures than most other orchids. Since they're found growing along the ground, they're considered a terrestrial plant. Their creeping nature makes them very good candidates for a terrarium. When placed in the latter, they are happy with the lid partially open to provide a balance between high humidity and air circulation. Keep the soil moist, but not wet.
From Southeast Asia, these plants are considered a weed in their native environment. In the wild, they're usually found growing in rich humus in the shade of a large tree.
They are easily rooted; I've taken cuttings and put them directly in soil and I've also rooted them in water. Put several cuttings in a pot, and then be patient. It will take a few weeks, but soon the roots will form and the pot will be overflowing with beautiful foliage.
The Jewel Orchid is a compact plant that usually grows no more than 12 inches in height and width. In December and January, it sends up long spikes of small, delicate white flowers with yellow centers that last for several weeks.
In addition to Ludisias, I'm growing another type of Jewel Orchid known as Macodes Petola. This plant, which originated from Malaysia, Indonesia, Sumatra and the Philippines, is another terrestrial plant, but grows from a fleshy, creeping rhizome. It has green leaves with yellow veining that seems to sparkle. If you bring the plant into sunlight, it appears to have golden threads. The underside of the leaf is a purple and green color.
I purchased my Macodes Petola about three years ago at the Philadelphia Flower Show and struggled with it for quite some time, trying different light exposures. It's very slow growing and likes moist soil. I put the plant on a tray of pebbles covered in water and away from direct light.
A few months ago I was rewarded with a spike of delicate white flowers. After blooming, it's a good idea to cut off the flower stalk to encourage side shoots to form in spring and summer.
This plant is grown primarily for its foliage, since the flowers are tiny. Placing some sphagnum moss on top of the soil will keep moisture in, but don't let the moss dry out completely.
Most orchids are grown for their flowers and inexperienced growers, dissatisfied with their unattractive leaves, often toss them when the blooming cycle is over. The Jewel Orchid is just the opposite: The plant is attractive all year long and surprises the grower with the addition of bloom stalks as a bonus during the dreary days of winter.
Fertilize daffodils, crocus and other spring flowering bulbs now, as soon as you see the leaves poking through the soil. It's better to feed them before, or during their flowering period, rather than after they've bloomed.

The Deal: Chevron Canadian Unit Buys Shale Assets for $1B
NEW YORK (The Deal) - Chevron Canada, an indirect unit of oil and gas giant Chevron
The sale was a winner for Alta backer Blackstone Group
A Chevron Canada spokesman wouldn't comment and Blackstone and Alta didn't respond immediately to requests for comment.
The acquired interests cover 67,900 net acres in the Duvernay, which is a hot play in oil and gas circles, both for its natural gas--which could potentially supply future liquefied natural gas projects exporting to Asia --and its natural gas liquids, which fetch a higher market price. Talisman Energy Inc. also is selling its properties in the Duvernay area and Penn West Petroleum Ltd. could be as well.
Other oil giants have already poured into the region. Encana
Chevron Canada president Jeff Lehrmann said in the release that the agreement strengthens the company's land position in the core part of this prospective wet shale gas play, where it has exploration leases totaling more than 250,000 acres. Chevron Canada in the second half of 2011 began a multiwell exploration program for unconventional resources in the Duvernay formation and said it achieved initial production last year on the 100%-owned and operated leases. "To date, we have been encouraged by the reservoir data and production performance from our exploration drilling program on our Kaybob Duvernay leases," Lehrmann said. "We are pleased to add to our acreage in this play as we advance our program to evaluate the potential for full-field commercial development."

Watch: This Is The New Chris Crocker, a 'Freak Of Nature'
Britney Spears has a new single? That's such snoozie news compared to the release of Chris Crocker's music video "Freak of Nature." Which, let's be honest, is something Britney herself might've released in 2008.
No stranger to donning a blonde wig and exposing himself, Chris turns himself into dominatrix Britney getting taken from behind when he's not showing or fellating bananas. And the lyrics? Not terrible, so long as your standard of "not terrible" is somewhere above Ke$ha. I'm not sure what Chris has been up to since his "Leave Britney Alone" fame crashed and burned. But snaps to anybody trying to become a pop star. And getting away with it.
"It's Chris Crocker. And what. Bitch please." OH YES HE DID!
I enjoyed that! Catchy song, hot video.
You know, had the same song been performed by Britney Spears, it would have been a hit. The video would also have been allowed to air on MTV.
Is it wrong that i'm a little turned on by this?
I figured I was going to hate this, but its pretty good. I'm not a fan of dudes in drag, but he looks good as a dude. The black dude topping him, is what really run me over. Going to down load the song.
He would have made a lot of money as a songwriter and had Britney perform the song….imagine the PR newsmill 'Chris Crocker pens new Britney Track'
Yeah, Chris Crocker is kinda hot, as a guy AND a girl. I can't wait to hear this on the dance floor. I hope he keeps on making ladyboy music videos, he could really give Lady Gaga a run for her money…
Where did this come from?! Was he always a singer/songwriter? This song and video are LEGIT, complete with high-quality music and video production values. Love the sass and wit sprinkled throughout.
Wow, didn't think I'd like this but I was wrong. Great, hot vid. Song is good even without the visuals, but the whole thing is really well done. More, please!
@Jeffree: I have to say, it was well done, too. It does sound just like a Britney song. It's right up there with 1,2,3 and her other songs. Good luck to him.
and the video was pretty damn good too. Better than Nicole's "poison" video.
I was pretty sure this was going to be terrible. But, it does sound like a good Britney-esque track – makes me think of her Circus era, maybe earlier than that.
The video was okay – I was a little disturbed since Chris doesn't look much older than 16 – but it was pretty damn good, especially compared to his "Leave Britney Alone" video.
Also, he looks pretty in drag. Like, it isn't obvious that he's dressed in drag.
I really hope I'm just not detecting the sarcasm. The song is horrible, the video is low-budget and trashy, it's just all-around bad.
Looks like Miley Cyrus really let herself go!
He has skills, that's for sure. I should play this on Saturday and see how many people recognize him. Seems like he's trying to emulate Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga to a degree. Although, to be fair, in comparison to most modern divas', this music video is tame ;D
You can just tell he loves black dick
"And what?? Bitch, please!" Love.
who doesnt ?!?!?
Thank you so much for posting this!
I love Queerty.
I've been harboring a bit of a lust crush on Chris Cocker. It's time I was honest about that.
We loves us the dance tune.
Britney's looking a little rough these days. I like that black guy who's sodomising her, though.
Why does she have to put male-male scenes in her video, though? First Christina, then Katy Perry, now Britney. It's getting old.
I'm way over cute twinks feeling their fabulousness in trashy stripper drag.
For the next video I recommend not spending all the budget on an expensive but cheap Kim Zolciak wig. Some strawberries that are actually ripe would be more appealing.
@Rob: I like Chris but I have to agree.
So, I actually liked this a lot more than any Katy Perry, Ke$ha, etc. song I've heard of late! I am always skeptical when YouTubers think they can rock a single (though, I like Chris, really), but this was genuinely fun!
Love it
gotta agree with most posters here. Catchy and well produced song, nicely choreographed video (considering the budget, I assume), and Chris looks hot in both styles.
I enjoyed it.
Forget about Crocker. I'll take his co-star.
The song is good and catchy, but let's not sit and just kiss ass here. He's just a regular whore gay guy. The video is just him lip syncing the song poorly while dancing around eating strawberries and bananas or grinding up on some guy.
Its so disappointing reading the comments comparing him to Lady Gaga and such.
The lyrics are awesome. Chris is hot as always. However, there is definitely a point where it just seems to drag on and on and on.
@Ventril: HE ISN'T LIP SYNCING. That is Chris' real voice. Sure, he might have prerecorded it then lip synced much like almost every video is made, but he still laid down that track. Why do you feel a need to disparage him? Do fem gays just annoy you or something?
Girl, you sing through that nose!!!!!
i like it.
he probably all the money he had from the leave britney alone thing to pay for this.
I have loved this kid from day one. I love his background, the way he was discovered and this new video is awesome.
It makes me want to be young and relevant again………
@jack e jett: You're only as old as you think you are. I'm going on 35, and I still confuse people for a 20-year old. Be what you want to be, you only have one life :)
OMG! The song is actually quite good except for the spoken parts and the bikini shots with him on his knees in bed. It's too weird seeing him so undressed knowing that he has a penis. But, the song is good and his love interest is totally hot! :)
Wow… he has come a long way from "leave Britney alone." Well done. I admit it – I was judgmental and thought I wouldn't like it.
Out of all Britney songs, most reminiscent of "Piece of Me."
Cute boy. Ugly girl.
Piece of shit. His family must be really proud. Great for our movement. Oh, and atrocious lip-sync.
Sounded better than expected. Liberal use of Auto-Tune for vocals and lens filtering for visuals gets much of the credit.
Chris is kissing on the boys and boys alone, kinda reminds me of a male version of Not Myself Tonight. At least he has the guts to show homoeroticism in his video, not even Adam Lambert has done this, come to think of it, he and Lambert should do a duet!
I have to say that Chris is one of the few men who in my opinion looks great as a girl (very sexy I must add) as much as he is such a handsome guy in his male persona. It's also good seeing a guy celebrating male sexuality and homoeroticism. Most videos nowadays are about celebrating female sexuality and womanhood.
So BeAutIfuL
*hugs kisses the utmost of contentment kisses hugs*

U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced legislation to bring greater transparency to the student loan process for students, their parents, and other loan co-signers. The bill is named after Christopher Bryski, a New Jersey college student who suffered a traumatic brain injury during his third year at Rutgers and passed away after spending two years in a coma.
The "Christopher Bryski Student Loan Protection Act" would ensure that parents and other co-signers are fully informed of their obligations to repay student loans, including in the event of the student's death. While federal loans are typically discharged upon a borrower's death, private loans often are not. The bill would require all private education lenders to clearly define the obligations of the cosigner and provide information about durable power of attorney, which grants legal authority for decision-making to someone else in the event an individual is incapacitated. It would also require colleges to provide information about durable power of attorney and loan discharge rules to students and cosigners of a loan.
On June 17, 2004, 23-year-old Christopher Bryski of Marlton was fatally injured in a recreational accident. He spent two years in a vegetative state before passing away in 2006. During that time, his family struggled to make financial decisions on his behalf and were surprised to learn of their financial obligations. Upon his death, the U.S. Department of Education discharged Christopher's student loans. However, Christopher's father remained liable for the private student loans and continues to make payments on his behalf. The Bryski family has advocated for improved transparency during the student loan process and the importance of signing a durable power of attorney.
The bill has been endorsed by the Brain Injury Association of America, the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators, and the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. Companion legislation, introduced by Rep. John Adler (D-NJ-3), was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 28, 2010.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
On design alone the Sony VAIO CR25G/R is a winner. Beyond that it's a solid machine with some nice features but not a tonne of power. Those looking to do the basics and look good in the process will enjoy this notebook.
Let's just get this part out of the way. This notebook looks hot! Even if Sony had managed to stuff up every other feature of this notebook it would still get some credit for the design. The CR series notebooks come in a wide range of colours, including a new gold finish, but we ended up with the Sony VAIO CR25G/R, a "Blazing Red" stunner. The lid gleams a bright ruby-red that's akin to Dorothy's slippers, while the inside sports a clean-slate black that's highlighted by white lettered keys and silver shortcut buttons.
Forget "there's no place like home", the VAIO VGN CR25G/R is comfortable to carry around, weighing about 2.5kg. What's more, the screen has a very broad swing on its hinge; it actually swings back past horizontal. This makes it very easy to get a good angle on the screen no matter how cramped you and the notebook are on your train, bus or plane seat.
When the lid is closed, the base of the notebook protrudes ever so slightly beyond the top of the screen, exposing the silver-coloured metal rim on the front edge of the palm rest where the media controls reside. It's almost like a stylish, functional under bite. This design feature allows you to control your media with the lid closed, assuming you've turned off the Windows sleep setting.
Above the keyboard are the aforementioned silver shortcut buttons. These include the AV mode button, which launches a media bar at the top of the screen, a mute button, volume controls, a shortcut to the 1.3-megapixel camera software, and a display off button, which effectively mutes the screen. This is good for playing your music, or outputting to another device without the screen glaring at you.
Delve inside and you'll find an Intel T7250 2GHz Core 2 Duo CPU with an 800MHz front side bus and 1GB of DDR2 RAM, as well as a Radeon X2300 graphics chip. There is a DVD re-writer, 160GB of storage to play with and all the standard ports. The screen runs at a resolution of 1280x800 and offers good contrast and brightness levels, but a typically average viewing angle. Overall the chassis is quite sturdy and should travel well. One thing we really like are the keys, which, blasphemous as it is to say for a PC user, mimic the keys on a Macbook and are very tactile.
If we were moments from giving this a five out of five rating, just based on its style, the feeling was quickly squelched by the painfully long setup time. Naturally this is a once off, but it certainly dampened the excitement. Fortunately the end result is a fairly clean desktop with only one trial software icon for Microsoft Office 2007.
Other interesting features of this notebook include its DLNA certification, meaning you can easily network it with other DLNA devices, such as the Sony Playstation 3, and there is also a light under the front edge that illuminates a mix of white and blue LEDs when buttons are pressed.
In our MP3 encoding test, the mid-range CPU wasn't super speedy, but still performed comfortably taking 88sec to convert 53 minutes worth of WAV files to 192Kbps MP3 files in iTunes, then 130sec using Cdex. Overall we feel this machine will easily handle everyday tasks like word processing and e-mailing, Web surfing and acting like a photo and music database. Photo editing will also be possible, but may get a little sluggish on larger files.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Every weekend, hundreds of hikers, bikers and dog walkers turn Leif Erikson Drive into a freeway of activity. Forest Park is the largest natural urban forest reserve in the U.S., but it often feels like everyone goes in and out through the same spot and takes the same route through it.
"We need to learn to spread out the usage," James D. Thayer said. "The best way to access it is along U.S. 30, but most people don't know that."
They would if they read "Portland Forest Hikes: Twenty Close-in Wilderness Walks" (Timber Press, $16.95 paperback, 192 pages). Thayer's new book reveals the less-traveled parts of Forest Park and provides new information on exploring the northern Tualatin Mountains beyond the park boundaries.
The advantages to entering Forest Park from U.S. 30 (also known as St. Helens Road) are numerous. It's quicker and easier than winding through Northwest Portland, it can be done using TriMet, there's more opportunity for solitude, and, as Thayer points out, the return portion of the hike is downhill.
A good suggestion for a hike is up Newton Road, through some of the more remote parts of Forest Park. The trailhead is at the north end of Linnton and is easily accessible from Tri-Met route No. 17.
Beyond Forest Park, a patchwork of forest in the northern Tualatin Mountains is surprisingly wild and lightly used. Much of it is owned by timber companies that allow recreational access, and Metro recently purchased two pieces of property through its open spaces program. The Burlington Creek area is full of wildlife, including hawks and eagles, and is part of a 332-acre parcel purchased by Metro in 2000. It contains a pocket of old-growth Douglas fir.
Another winner is a five-mile round trip that passes several beaver ponds. It begins and ends off Northwest Rocky Point Road.
Thayer is a former president of the Friends of Forest Park who became interested in the idea of wildlife corridors, areas that provide a way for animals to connect from one populated area to another. He hopes "Portland Forest Hikes" will revive interest in the Pacific Greenway, a proposal to create three wildlife corridors from Forest Park to the Coast Range. He's explored a large chunk of one route, from the park to Seaside, and cheerfully reported that he's "almost to Saddle Mountain."
Whether mapping a route in Forest Park or pushing through the underbrush on the way to the beach, Thayer said he does "a Johnny Appleseed approach. I go in with a GPS and take photos, do the mapping, take notes on plants and animals, read up on old roads and local history, everything."
Everyone knows about Forest Park, but not everyone takes the time to explore beyond Leif Erikson Drive or the Wildwood Trail. Thayer said if he had to recommend a weekend hike, he would go to Runaway Ridge, accessed off Northwest Rocky Point Road, or what he calls the Cable Trail, off Northwest Skyline Boulevard. Within Forest Park, Newton Road is a great place to go.

Top Secret: Open Source Study 2 in Vienna
Along with Munich, Vienna is regarded as a forerunner in the field of open source projects in the German-speaking region of Europe. Now it seems, the Capital of Austria is having second thoughts.
Vienna's Wienux Project, just like its neighbors in Munich, was supposed to implement the change from Windows to free software in the city's municipal councils. However, unlike Munich, the change-over in Vienna is a purely voluntary affair, and to date only 1000 of the 32000 administrative PCs actually run on free software. Last year, 700 PCs in Vienna's kindergartens were programmed with Windows Vista because the administration had ordered a language-learning software that can only run on Vista.
That Wienux was initiated at all is partly thanks to the "Study Open Source Software" (STOSS) from 2004. The study (PDF in German language), which analyzed the use and cost of open source software in Viennese city councils, welcomed the implementation of free software and recommended, because of the rapid growth in Linux, a further study in 2006, before deciding the next step.
Now, with the STOSS 2 supposedly completed, the results are being kept secret, despite written confirmation from city councilor Schicker in June 2009 in a letter to Green Party member Marie Ringler, that the results of the study would be made public.
Reasons for the secrecy are, according to press-speaker Martin Schipany, " extremely sensitive details" that "can't be allowed to fall into the hands of the competition." Austria's main public broadcaster ORF has reported that with "competition" Schipany doesn't mean other cities like Munich or Paris, he's referring to rival software.
So for now it remains a mystery exactly what Vienna's councilors are hiding from the public. The fact that open source software is perfectly suitable for use in the city's administration, or the opposite?

This article was first published in the February 2011 UK edition of Accounting and Business magazine
The Consumer Credit Directive was adopted by the European Council in May 2008 and, from 1 February 2011, revised rules apply when advertising and arranging consumer credit.
The main changes are as follows:
1. Advertisements
If an advertisement includes an interest rate or any amount relating to the cost of credit, it must also include a representative example. This must contain certain standard information including a representative APR.
2. Credit checks
The borrower's creditworthiness must be assessed before granting credit or significantly increasing the amount of credit. The assessment must be based on sufficient information obtained from the borrower and a credit reference agency as appropriate.
The borrower must be given an adequate explanation of the proposed credit agreement (eg the particular features of the agreement and the consequences of failure to make payments).
3. Pre-contractual information and agreements
The Disclosure Regulations require pre-contractual information to be given in good time before the borrower enters into the agreement. The information must be clear and easily legible, and the borrower must be able to take it away to consider and to shop around if he or she wishes. In most cases, the information must be provided in a standard format – the pre-contract credit information form, to aid comparability and consumer understanding.
In the case of overdrafts, a different standard form may be used, but is not mandatory. If this form is not used, all the information must be equally prominent.
There is a new right for consumers to request a statement of account for a fixed-term loan. The statement can be requested at any time during the life of the agreement, but not more frequently than once a month.
4. Right of withdrawal
The borrower can withdraw from an agreement within 14 days following conclusion of the agreement, or once the borrower has received a copy of the executed agreement or notification of the credit limit on a credit card. The borrower must repay the credit and must also pay interest for each day the credit was drawn down.
5. Interest rate changes
The borrower must be notified of changes in the rate of interest payable under the agreement. This must generally be done in writing before the change takes effect.
6. Borrower redress
The borrower is entitled to seek redress from the creditor in certain circumstances if he is unable to obtain satisfaction from the supplier of goods or services.
7. Early settlement
The existing right to settle a credit agreement early is extended to a right to make partial early settlements at any time. Under section 95A of the Consumer Credit Act, the creditor may claim compensation in certain circumstances provided that this is fair and objectively justified and does not exceed 1% or 0.5% of the amount repaid early.
8. Termination of open-end agreement
The borrower can cancel an open-end agreement at any time, subject to notice not exceeding one month. The creditor must give at least two months' notice of termination, and the notice must give objectively justified reasons.
9. Debt transfer
The borrower must be told if the debt is sold or transferred to a third party, unless the arrangements for servicing the debt are unchanged.
10. Overdrafts
A number of changes have been made in the requirements on overdrafts. These largely relate to the information that the creditor must give to the borrower, about both authorised overdrafts and overdrafts which are not pre-arranged.
11. Intermediaries
Credit intermediaries must disclose the extent to which they are acting independently or working exclusively with one or more creditors. If a fee is payable by the borrower to the credit intermediary for his services, this must be agreed in writing with the borrower before the credit agreement is entered into. The fee must be notified to the creditor if the creditor is calculating the APR.
12. Failed credit checks
If an application for credit is declined on the basis of information from a credit reference agency, the creditor must notify the borrower of this and provide contact details of the credit reference agency.

Brand new District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro, a former prosecutor, defense attorney and longtime criminal court judge, made it clear during the campaign that he had no illusions about the conditions at Tulane and Broad.
Forsaking the relative quiet and comfort of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeal, Cannizzaro arrived ready to reorganize the troubled office, to lobby the City Council for extra money, to smooth over a rocky relationship with the Police Department and to launch a beefed-up diversion program for nonviolent drug offenders.
I'm guessing he wasn't expecting that, at the end of a very busy first week on the job, he'd have to deal with a judge ordering one of his prosecutors into handcuffs.
The lawyer's offense? Not being able to be in two courtrooms at once.
The punishment? A half-hour detention, during which he was unable to handle either of the supposedly urgent matters on his plate.
It's hard to know where to start on this one, but here goes.
Most Friday afternoons find the criminal courthouse nearly deserted, but last week at least two judges were in the house and raring to move their dockets. Assistant District Attorney Francis deBlanc had the bad fortune to have business before both of them.
Judge Julian Parker was ready to hold a status hearing in the case of a mother accused of giving her son the gun he used to commit murder, and deBlanc was waiting in Parker's courtroom to handle the matter.
Meanwhile, Judge Camille Buras was trying to wrap up a murder trial, in which deBlanc was the key prosecutor.
Buras marched into Parker's courtroom, met with her colleague in his chambers, stormed out and told deBlanc to follow her. Parker countered by rising from the bench, pointing to the lawyer and ordering him to stay.
"Mr. deBlanc, you walk out that door and you are going to jail, " he said.
Buras again told deBlanc to leave. Parker shouted an order to his courtroom deputy to put him "under arrest." So the deputy cuffed the prosecutor, marched him to the jury box, uncuffed him and left him there, while Parker moved on to other matters, the actual defendants in the courtroom smirked and Buras went off to call the criminal sheriff.
That's the kind of problem solving that solves no problems.
It would be tempting to call Parker's outburst a test of the new D.A.'s mettle, if it seemed that he was acting with any forethought, rather than simply flying off the handle. He said later that, in general, he's focused on making sure cases go to trial in a timely manner -- and indeed, this is a case in which he's complained before of prosecutorial delays. Still, witnesses in the courtroom say he just seemed agitated.
Eventually Cannizzaro's chief of trials arrived and took over the status hearing for deBlanc, who was then freed to proceed with the murder trial. Cannizzaro himself, asked for comment, responded diplomatically, noting that handcuffing prosecutors is "not the norm."
"We like to keep lawyers, especially the prosecutors, out of handcuffs, " he said.
This early in his tenure, Cannizzaro is surely trying to figure out what tone to set. In this case, it seems, a little less tact and a little more outrage was in order. He is, after all, hoping to bring professionalism to an office that has long been in turmoil. That's hard to do when employees are subject to needless abuse.
As Cannizzaro said, it's not unusual for lawyers to handle cases in different sections of court. The reasonable thing is for judges to move the docket around to accommodate the lawyer's conflicting demands. It's simple professional courtesy.
Which is exactly what the new DA, as well as the state Judiciary Commission, should demand from judges who would bully lawyers for just trying to do their jobs.

Wolves suffer power outage
It was a frustrating end to a frustrating season for South Kitsap.
With their bats once again dormant, the Wolves couldnt take advantage of a pitcher they should have hit and saw their season end with a 3-0 loss to Prairie Saturday in the opening round of the West Central District Tournament.
The Wolves ended the year with a 13-7 record, failing to make the state tournament for the second year in a row.
South had made 20 appearances over the last two and half decades, winning titles in 1983, 1996 and 2003.
We had everything we needed to have to win except hitting, South coach Jim Fairweather said. And hitting is a pretty important thing, especially at this level.
After pounding out 10 hits and scoring 13 runs a week earlier in the Narrows League Tournament, the Wolves were optimistic their bats would carry over to the WCD.
But Prairies Adrian Gomez, who pitched with a jammed middle finger on his pitching hand, subdued the South bats with a variety of fastballs and curveballs, allowing just one hit over seven innings.
I felt like we should have hit him, Fairweather said. Especially when he started fumbling a little bit with his finger issue or whatever it was. And all of a sudden it disappeared when they got a couple of runs for him, all of a sudden he could throw the ball again.
Three times in the first four innings, South seemed to have Gomez on the edge of a big inning but couldnt get the timely hit needed to get on the board.
South put a runner in scoring position in the first inning, had two more runners on the second and got runners in first and second with no outs in the fourth but kept coming away empty.
Im thinking that we had him, Fairweather said. We had him on the ropes and we should have beat him right there in the middle innings. And the whole game would have changed, the complexion would have changed. He would have probably gotten taken out.
We just couldnt quite get the hit, Fairweather said. We had the guys in the spots the runs were right there for us to knock in and we cant get it done.
The lack of hitting was even more pronounced with the pitching efforts of both starter Andrew Thatcher and Matt Hudson. Thatcher allowed five hits over four-plus innings but only one of the three runs were earned.
Hudson pitched the final inning and a third, giving up a lone hit and walk.
Prairie scored a run in the first on two singles and an error. The two runs in the fifth inning came virtue of no hits but on two hit batsmen, two walks and an error.
I still thought our defense was good enough to win, Fairweather said. We just didnt get it done on offense. I was really pleased with Andrew, and I was real happy for (Hudson) to come in and slam the door on them.
But the bottom line was the lack of hitting. Designated hitter Ryan Cosgroves single to start the fourth frame was the Wolves only hit.
I take responsibility for that, Fairweather said. I told these kids that I need to go back and re-look at how Im coaching hitting because we need to be able to hit people like that.
There are better pitchers than that out there, Fairweather said. (Gomez) did a nice job and my hats off to him but we should be able to hit that. We should be able to hit that.
After the game, Fairweather apologized to his team for the short season.
Its too bad, Fairweather said. They are a fun bunch of kids and I love everyone of them. Its just too bad to be done.

Check out this week's twenty best below and if you think your weekly rotation has some sick heat that'll crack next week's Top 20, don't forget to submit – easy instructions are right below!
Air Jordan IV 'Thunder' – Wesley – VA
Nike LeBron VII 'All Black Everything' – Bright – NY
Nike FlyKnit Racer USA – Cement_Greyman – TN

self-promotion is the mating call of the thumbs down
Im sorry im just salty about loosing to concords
I may be in the minority on this but my vote went to those Platinumposites. Sick stuff. Those Zoom Rookies were a close second though.
I appreciate it sir
I voted for the bruce lee Kobe's cause I always wanted those secrectly, but Celtics pride wouldnt let me do it. Lol
Platinumposites, 8 Miami Nights, Yeeze's 1 or FlyKnit. Hard to choose one.
i voted for the Zoom Rookies. I just wish ppl would stop instagram-ing every pic

40 year old dad repping Cityrail! Got a few shots like that myself...
Not a fan of Kobe, but those "Bruce Lee" kicks are sweet.

Dude getting married in concords is tough but my vote....red suede XXI's. Oh and look for melo to go off on the celtics tomorrow night. Let's go knicks
oh i forgot ....see them yeezy 1 pics....they look way better than the yeezy 2's all day. the yeezy 1 is a cool looking shoe. that yeezy no. 2 ..weird looking. But whoever getting the 2 probably aint buying for the design anyways.
way to go to the dude tying the knot in the Concords that's a true J head. When i get married ima get married in my js and when my time is up best believe ima get buried in my js. >:)
Wearing Concords at your wedding? SMH

I actually wear my kicks outside, I'm sitting on the bench at my store Red Carpet Shoes.
might not be a high pride kick but i like the flyknit kix they are "fly"
Sole collector zoom rookies are SVSM Lebrons did it for me! But how can you not vote the dude who got married in his Concords?
Agreed. Thunders or SVSMs for me but congrats to dude on his wedding day. Hope he has many more anniversaries to come
undefeated 4's are so near perfect damn. one of the better executed colorways in a long time... they probably would have sold out if they were a regular release. i just like four's though! they the sh*t
they probably would have induced multiple homicides if they were released.....

Asked Thursday about playing in the Alamo Bowl despite fans' "lofty expectations" for the Texas program, the 15th-year coach of the Longhorns was blunt.
"I think the proud thing about Texas is we're at a point where there's such a high standard that really, unless you win all the games, there's concern," Brown said. "The process started three years ago in 2010, a very poor year. There were some changes made … Last year, we really stepped up defensively and did well. I was proud of that.
"I really believe we're headed in the right way, the right direction."
In Austin, many fans believe the only "right way," and the only acceptable path, is toward national championships.
When No. 15 Oregon State meets Texas in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29 in San Antonio, it will be the Beavers' biggest bowl game match-up since the 2001 Fiesta Bowl, when OSU thumped Notre Dame, 41-9. Besides the Fighting Irish, OSU has never played such a nationally recognized and marquee program.
Texas' football history is littered with success.
The Longhorns have won four national championships, the most recent coming in 2005, when a Vince Young-led team completed a dramatic comeback in the last minute to beat USC 41-38 in the Rose Bowl. That win completed a perfect 13-0 season for Texas.
The Longhorns also won national titles in 1970, 1969 and 1963. Texas was awarded the UPI national championship in 1970 before the Cotton Bowl against then-No. 6 Notre Dame, a game in which the Longhorns lost 24-11.
Brown has a 149-43 record in his 15 years at Texas, but Longhorn fans would tell you the last few seasons have been unacceptable. Texas has a 21-16 record in the last three years, with no bowl appearance in 2010, a first in the Brown era. Just four seasons ago, Brown led Texas to a 13-1 record and runner-up finish in the national title game (No. 2 Texas lost 37-21 to No. 1 Alabama). To Longhorn fans, it probably feels more like four decades ago.
In the last three seasons the Longhorns have gone 11-15 in the Big 12. In its last 11 games against Top 25 teams, Texas is 1-10. This has led to grumbling from some fans that Brown's stay in Austin should be over.
After missing the postseason in 2010, Texas rebounded last year with a 21-10 win over California in the Holiday Bowl. 2012 will mark the Longhorns' second Alamo Bowl appearance: They beat Iowa 26-24 in the 2006 Alamo Bowl.
When Texas found out about its Alamo bid last week, players acknowledged being grateful for the chance to go out on a high note.
"A couple of years ago we didn't get to do that, so you can't take these opportunities for granted," safety Kenny Vaccaro told the Dallas Morning News.
When it comes to running the football, Texas has a storied history.
Campbell (1974-77) was the first Texas player to win the Heisman, in 1977. He finished his career with 4,443 rushing yards, establishing himself as one of the best running backs of all time in the now-defunct Southwest Conference.
Williams played for Texas from 1995-98 and was the second Longhorn to win the Heisman. He still holds the career school rushing record with 6,279 yards.
Texas has 16 players who have rushed for more than 2,000 yards in their careers (Young, a dual-threat quarterback, rushed for 3,127 in three years at Texas.) In comparison, Oregon State has just eight players who have gone over 2,000 yards.
Cedric Benson, who played from 2001-04, is second on the all-time rushing list with 5,540 yards. Campbell, Williams and Benson all won the Doak Walker award, given annually to the nation's premier running back.
In 2005 behind Young and Jamaal Charles, Texas led the Big 12 in rushing with a 275 yard-per-game average.
But as the Longhorns have struggled the past few years, their ground attack — or lack thereof — might explain why.
This season, without a premier back, Texas finished eighth in Big 12 rushing average at just 148.4 yards per game.
But make no mistake: Even after a season that didn't live up to the hype (the Longhorns were ranked No. 15 in preseason polls) Texas fans will expect a win over Oregon State.
The Beavers are a 2-point favorite on Dec. 29, but that matters little to those who root for the Longhorns. Brown understands that.
"I'm fortunate to be at a place where the standards are very high," he said. "We're going to fight to make sure we get back to those standards. If you ask me if I'm happy with three years of non-BCS games, I would say no. That's for me (and) everybody else."
-- Lindsay Schnell (I came, I saw, I tweeted)

"The impact on the county from the storm as we wake up this morning, for what it could have been, has been light," Sims said.
However, salt accumulation from spray picked up by wind off the Gulf of Mexico may have been responsible for the failure of two power substations affecting 11,000 Baldwin EMC customers in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and north toward Craft Farms, said Karen Moore, spokeswoman for the utility.
The outages occurred between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Power was restored quickly, and shortly before noon only about 25 customers were still out, Moore said.
Moore said it had not been confirmed that saltwater spray was responsible for the substation problems. But salt has accumulated on power lines to the point that the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach fire departments are out hosing down the lines. "That salt gets on the lines and homes start having flickering lights," Moore said.
This afternoon, Baldwin EMC is sending crews to assist with power restoration in McComb, Miss. Baldwin EMC is helping the Magnolia Electric Power Association in McComb. The crews will spend the next couple hours preparing for an estimated departure of 2 p.m.
Meanwhile, flooding on Mobile Bay still covers much of the Causeway, which cannot be reopened until water recedes and the Alabama Department of Transportation clears debris from the roadway.
Fort Morgan Road is open to traffic, but there is still water on the road and motorists were being asked to proceed with caution, Sims said.

Considering North Korea such a danger is nothing new for me. More than 12 years ago, I told people to watch North Korea for a serious threat to the U.S. Most people thought I was kidding, or stupid.
Now that there's nothing but threats from North Korea, I'm not feeling vindicated. I'm feeling that I wish I could figure out what we should do about it.
Missile launches. Nuclear tests. Cyber war?
What are we to believe?
If we are to believe photo evidence, we don't have much to fear. North Korea has released doctored photographs of hovercraft landing on a beach and jet planes in flight. They have released photos of North Korean leaders that appear to show plans being drawn for missile strikes that, according to the map, would include Austin, Texas. The same photos show clearly obsolete computers.
So, is Kim Jong-Un really that stupid? Or is this all a wily effort to make us think North Korea is the Mayberry of Global Powers?
Despite my previous warning about North Korea, I have, in the present, steadfastly believed that the country is all talk.
But what IF those stupid bumpkin photos are staged? How could a country working with old computers and Photoshop be capable of launching covert cyber attacks?
Well, maybe this has all been misinformation, misdirection.
On the home front, there have been statements of what sounded like determination to defend ourselves and our allies. Even if a North Korean missile cannot reach the continental United States, one could hit South Korea and perhaps Americans stationed in Okinawa.
Listening to the news on the radio while I was out and about this weekend, I heard reports that we had lost track of the mobile missile launchers in North Korea. It sounded kind of desperate — while saying we're not worrying about them, we suddenly sounded worried that we didn't know where they were.
Yeah, I'd like to think that a North Korean cyber attack would mean all the Mario Brothers' characters would suddenly look like Kim Jong-Un, but I can't tell.
There must be some way to swat irritating little countries that threaten us, like ticks, mosquitoes and other tiny bugs that carry contagion.
I don't want to espouse another war. When I was much younger, I recognized that it was old men who create wars and young men who die in them.
I don't want to be one of those old men.

THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED Mountain View Bed & Breakfast
A spacious old house offering a woodsy escape.
This rambling house was built in the Colorado foothills in the 1920s as a writers' retreat. It is totally out in the country, the kind of place where you can sit on the verandah or in the hot tub and watch deer and elk meander by. It is also ideally situated for exploring Red Rocks Park, paddling or skating on Evergreen Lake and dining at Tivoli Deer or The Fort. The four rooms in the main house and one in a nearby cabin are uniquely decorated with antiques, vintage photographs and handmade quilts. The cozy Rose Room, tucked up under the eaves, has a skylight above the queen-sized bed. The two-room Fireweed Cabin is decorated in a Southwestern theme and has a gas kiva fireplace. The innkeeper is a gourmet cook, so guests can expect breakfast fare such as blueberry cheese pancakes with honey-smoked bacon or smoked salmon eggs Benedict with dill hollandaise sauce.

December 6, 1999
The Eastside and Seattle are nationally known for having the third-worst traffic problems in the United States.
Lake Washington imposes commuting challenges between the Eastside communities and Seattle. And growth in the technology and related industries has added vehicles to the roads faster than construction, funding, and public support for an expanded transportation system have responded.
To address this daily problem and seek recommendations that can be supported by local citizens, political groups, and state regulators, the Trans-Lake Washington study was authorized and funded by the State legislature in 1997.
Forty-seven members representing public agencies, neighborhoods, businesses, and advocacy groups met for 14 months to identify a set of "reasonable and feasible solutions" to improving mobility across and/or around Lake Washington. Monthly newsletters, surveys, workshops, and websites also provided citizens an opportunity to become involved with the process.
On July 16, 1999, the Trans-Lake Washington Study committee produced a list of recommended actions that may combine to provide additional capacity, improve reliability, reduce demand for highway travel, and reduce impacts on neighborhoods. Their focus was on motorized and non-motorized options in the SR-522, SR-520, and I-90 corridors.
Recognizing that the traffic solutions are regional in scope and interconnected in use, the proposals integrate freeways, HOV lanes, bike lanes, and bus/rail systems. The group also looked at and coordinated land use plans, trip reduction goals, and transportation pricing plans.
A summary of the committee's endorsements include:

"There were some courageous people who bent over backwards to meet in the middle. We encompassed some very diverse desires and came up with a plan that put in a priority basis what the region should look at first," stated Paul Cowles, Northshore businessman and former Bothell Councilmember, who served on the committee.
Next, the recommendations will be presented to the Transportation Commission, legislature, Sound Transit, Puget Sound Regional Council, and locally-affected governments, including Woodinville, Bothell, Redmond, and Kirkland. An environmental analysis must be completed before any work can begin. Impacts on neighborhoods and sensitive areas, air and water quality, and endangered species must be evaluated.
Decisions must be reached on which governmental agencies will manage the environmental impact statement (EIS) process. Funding must be obtained. It is predicted that any construction is years away.
"Implementation," continued Cowles, " will first begin 10 years from now. Improvements won't happen quickly."

The work of scholars such as Arthur Burns, Jeremy Gregory, W.M. Jacob, Frances Knight, F.C.

The previous chapter referred to the contribution of the Evangelical Revival to reform in the nineteenth century.

For as long as historians of British Christianity have been studying the nineteenth century, they have been talking about church reform. In part, this is because the participants in nineteenth-century British Christianity, and particularly the Anglican ones, became obsessed with it. ...
The Low Countries
Belgium and the Netherlands have gone down in history as the 'Low Countries'. In terms of geography (a considerable part is deltaic) and politics (the Burgundian states in the later Middle Ages, the Benelux now), they to some extent still form a unit. As was pointed out in Volume I, however, the Southern and Northern Netherlands went their different ways once the dust of the Reformation had settled. ...

"Outside cats" are a politically incorrect breed these days. A myriad of concerns - from communicable diseases such as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus to the possibility of being hit by a car - prompt responsible cat owners to keep their kitties in the house.
But, as common sense should tell us, there's no indoor substitute for fresh air and sunshine. And some creative owners have come up with ways to contain their cats while giving them a chance to exercise their God-given right to stalk bugs and sun-worship for hours.
"It's a relatively new idea for people to construct enclosures and playpens for cats. But it's a safe way to let them enjoy the benefits of butterflies and birds," says cat behaviorist Marva Marrow of Hesperia, Calif. "I'm seeing some beautiful solutions, such as gazebos with screens that were fit into people's gardens in harmonious and aesthetic ways."
Cat enclosures are a snap for do-it-yourselfers.
One approach is to construct a frame out of two-by-fours, then enclose it with poultry netting, chicken wire or chain link. (Be sure to create some sort of a door so you can have access.) Ambitious souls can engineer it so the cat has access from a kitty door or open window in the house.
Homeowners with screened-in porches have ready-made enclosures that their cats can enjoy.
Apartment dwellers with balconies and porches can find ways to screen and kitty-proof them, too.
Marrow builds inexpensive but hefty outdoor enclosures out of wire-coated shelving often used in closets.
"You can build them to your own measurements and specifications, and they become free-standing enclosures," said Marrow, who uses plastic cable ties to lash the panels together to make sides and a roof.
She also uses them to fashion bay-style build-outs attached to windows, so the cat can go out whenever he wishes. (Sometimes a wire dog crate can be retrofitted for this purpose as well.)
For couch potatoes, the great outdoors can be a little overwhelming at first. "If they're not used to it, they're paralyzed with bewilderment," Marrow says. "Then a butterfly comes by, and all of a sudden they're really energized."
No matter what your blueprint or materials, keep the following in mind:
Think vertical. Cats are climbers, so they appreciate different levels and lofty perching spots.
Try cat trees, or stout branches from the real thing. Because they are height-bereft, cat tunnels are only "marginally interesting" to the twitchy-tailed set, Marrow notes. If you must have them, use them to connect one vertical enclosure to another.
Nurture your green thumb. You can plant lots of kitty-friendly plants in and around your enclosure. Consider aromatic but safe plants such as lavender and that all-time feline favorite, catmint, which self-seeds generously.
Beware of gaps. Cats can be crafty escape artists. Make sure your enclosure is securely anchored, with no gaps. "If cats can get their head through something, they can usually get their body through, too," Marrow warns.
Be shady. While cats love to sunbathe, they also need a refuge from extreme heat. Marrow puts a shade cloth over a portion of her enclosure.
Provide water. Water-circulating foundations are appealing to many cats. If you want to make food available, Marrow suggests placing the food dish inside a larger, water-filled dish to prevent ant invasions.
Remember nature's call. If your cat doesn't have access to his inside box, place a small sandbox in a sunny corner of the enclosure.
Consider the humans. If the enclosure is large enough, think about features that would make it inviting to two-leggers, such as lounge chairs or maybe a hammock.

ALBANY - After losing 14-3 to Schalmont in last year's Section II Class B championship game, the Johnstown baseball team earned its shot at a rematch Saturday.
The sixth-seeded Sir Bills pounded out 14 hits on its way to a 12-3 win over second-seeded Saratoga Central Catholic at Bleecker Stadium.
"That's a great hitting team," Saratoga Catholic coach Phonsey Lambert said of the Sir Bills. "Aaron [Mraz] does a good job with them and I enjoy playing teams like them."

Much of the damage was done by senior shortstop Matt Szurek, who belted two home runs on his way to a 4-for-5 effort at the plate that included six RBIs and four runs scored.
"This was probably the best game of my life," Szurek said. "I've been in a slump, and I've been working hard to get in a groove."
Seven different Johnstown players had at least one hit. The Sir Bills scored their first five runs with two outs in the first, second and third innings.

"We worked on our two-strike and two-out approaches in practice," Johnstown coach Aaron Mraz said. "It really showed today. We did a lot of damage on two-strike counts and with two outs. We put the ball in play today."
Johnstown got started quickly, getting back-to-back two-out singles from Szurek and Jon Heroth in the top of the first.
Connor Rodecker drew a walk to load the bases and Szurek scored the game's first run on a passed ball to make it 1-0.
Article Links
Saratoga Catholic got singles from Ryan Czarnecki and Jake Moline in the bottom of the first, but Johnstown starter Richie Lee got out of the jam, getting Kyle Bailey to ground out to end the inning.
In the top of the second, the Sir Bills added three runs on an RBI single by Joe Henderson, a single by Dan Nellis and a two-run home run to left centerfield by Szurek to take a 4-0 lead.
After giving up two hits in the first inning, Lee kept the Saints off the bases in the second and third innings, ringing up five strikeouts.
The Sir Bills added another run to their lead in the third, getting an RBI single from Steve Forker that scored Adam Caputo, who had reached on a single.
Johnstown pushed its advantage to 8-0 in the top of the fourth, getting RBI singles from Szurek and Lee, while Heroth added an RBI sacrifice fly.
Saratoga Catholic scored its first runs in the bottom of the fourth on a three-run home run by Jake VanPatten to make it 8-3.
"We had enough runs that their home run didn't hurt us," Mraz said.
Johnstown answered with three runs of its own in the top of the fifth, getting a three-run homer from Szurek to make it 11-3.
Auty replaced Lee on the mound in the bottom of the fifth and put the Saints down in order.
The Sir Bills scored their final run in the top of the sixth. Lee led off the inning with a double before Caputo singled to center. After a walk to Henderson, Auty drew his third walk of the game - this time with the bases loaded - to give Johnstown a 12-3 advantage.
Auty kept the Saints scoreless in their final two at-bats to help the Sir Bills seal the win and a return trip to the title game.
"Saratoga Catholic is young and we're experienced," Mraz said. "We didn't come in with nerves. We've got a lot of confidence and it makes a difference. We've been playing well all year. We've been steady."
Szurek led Johnstown with four hits, while Nellis, Caputo, Lee and Henderson all finished with two.
Lee earned the win for Johnstown, allowing four hits, striking out seven and walking two in four innings of work. Auty pitched three innings of scoreless relief, keeping the Saints hitless, striking out two and walking one.
"We're kind of trying to pace out our pitching," Mraz said. "Richie [Lee] pitched on short rest and I was just looking for four or five innings from him today. He did a good job and then Ryan [Auty] came on and closed the door over the last three innings."
Saratoga Catholic finished its season with a 16-4 overall record.
"In order to experience a peak, you've got to experience a valley," Lambert said. "You've got to learn how to win the big game, and we took a lot of good things away from today. We had a great year."
Johnstown advances to the Section II Class BB championship game to face top-seeded Schalmont on Wednesday at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy at 7 p.m. Schalmont blanked Albany Academy in Saturday's other Class BB semifinal contest.
"I want to face Schalmont," Szurek said. "We're looking for redemption after last year."

Brandon Lang, Levi Brown and Boris Lee are still on the board. Instead, the second Troy player selected in the NFL draft on Saturday was cornerback Jorrick Calvin.
The Arizona Cardinals selected Calvin (5-10, 182) in the sixth round with the 201st overall pick. The Baton Rouge native did not play in 2009 after being ruled academically ineligible, but posted a 4.46 40-yard dash at Troy's Pro Day. He posted 76 tackles, two interceptions and nine break-ups as a junior in 2008.
Trojan defensive end Cameron Sheffield was also drafted on Saturday, going to Kansas City in the fifth round.

Tue. 11:50 am: Woman sentenced in attempted burglary
WARREN – Mindy Sierra, 33, of McDonald will spend two years in prison after she pleaded guilty this morning to charges stemming from an attempted burglary in which her accomplice was shot to death.
Trumbull Common Pleas Judge Andrew Logan sentenced Sierra to charges of attempted aggravated burglary and a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter.
Sierra is one of four people charged in a July 12 incident when accomplice Terry Allen was killed by a shotgun blast through the front door of the Niles-Cortland Road home of Roy Hahn, 41. Hahn was cleared by authorities.
She was accused of being involved with the planning of the burglary and dropping off three men at a Niles home which they planned to burglarize for scrap copper.
Prosecutors have said the three men and two women planned to steal copper from the home and use the proceeds to go to the Trumbull County Fair.

Hi and welcome to my second trip report on A.net. I hope you will enjoy it!
Everything begins as usual with that I sit at the computer and "surf" on various travel sites to possibly find something of interest. For some reason, I begin to look for prices to Beijing in August and caught the route ARN-KBP-PEK-ARN for 3500SEK (360€, 500USD), with Aerosvit and Air China. Aerosvit (!) Are you sure? But wait!
I ask my girlfriend if she would consider a week in Beijing in August. The answer was a short, NO! -Oh, but the price ... Do you know how cheap it is? Well, I just have to accept, there will be no Beijing. But the ticket is still far too cheap to not book! However, I realize that I must look for something that we both will enjoy.
I hints now and then "it's really good shopping in Beijing" .. Plays apparently no role since it is apparently too hot and there is a shortage of beaches.
About a month later it starts to loosen. -Beijing might be interesting anyway! I check if the price is still active the dates we can go and the week after booking was completed.
Aerosvit ... Aerosvit! Is this really a company you want to fly a longer distance? Absolutely, I say! Absolutely not, many people say to me. -It 's like flying with Aeroflot! Absolutely not I say! You can not compare theese two airlines. Aerosvit is what Aeroflot once was. That is worse. I have flown with this airline before and find that it is an ok airline to get from point A to point B, when everything works. I googled around and realize that about 75% of what I read on various forums is negative. But as usual, I'll take people's "opinion" light. A large plus with this combination is that there is a direct flight to Stockholm.
The flights:
The taxi pick us up just after six in the morning. I wanted to be at the airport on time because Aerosvit in Stockholm refused to seat us before departure. We were first in line and got seats 17F / G between Kiev and Beijing. Good!
The plane that will take us to Kiev was late to Arlanda the night before so it will be a delay of about 2h. It makes us absolutely nothing, then I'd rather sit and wait at Arlanda than at Borispol.
Date: 20 august 2011
Route: Arlanda - Kiev
Flight: Aerosvit VV270 (Op Windrose Aviation)
Seat: 28C
Aircraft: EMB 190
Flight time: 2hrs 08mins
Registration: UR-WRG
1st flight on Windrose Aviation
1st flight on a EMB 190
Eventually there will be bus out to the apron where Windrose E190 is waiting for us. Registartion was UR-WRG and we ended up almost back on row 28A / C.
It was not too much people on board this Saturday morning
A little cramped but ok for a flight at 2h. (I'm 183cm)
The service aboard was orange juice and a polar sandwich. The service in general was like my previous experience with Dniproavia and Aerosvit. It is not unpleasant but remember that you'll never get a smile. When the inflight service is over flight attendants kept too themselves until it was time to make the cabin ready for landing.
Alternatively, let the girls do the job and take a nap. (Yes, he belongs to the crew)
Date: 20 august 2011
Route: Kiev - Beijing
Flight: Aerosvit VV181
Seat: 17G
Aircraft: B 767-300
Flight time: 8hrs 13mins
Registration: UR-VVF
2nd flight on Aerosvit
7th flight on aB 767-300
A happy girlfriend enjoying the sun before it's time to climb aboard the 767 where we will spend the next 9h. Reg UR-VVF, which incidentally was the same aircraft I flew last year then to BKK
Blue and yellow!
However, our aircraft was the same old white paint
On board, it's not much that is new. Blue chairs and large screen TV.
Still red pants but this time much better room for the legs. The girlfriend fell asleep immediately and I put the iPhone headphones in his chair and looked at what was offered on TV.
I agree! The food don't look very good. But luckily it tasted better than what it looks. The bred was very dry and disgusting.
Warm towels handed out before breakfast room started. Or towel and towel, a warm napkin that smells citrus.
Breakfast was really good, very tasty. But same dry bread
The flight was quite normal, nothing much happened.
Date: 28 august 2011
Route: Beijing - Arlanda
Flight: Air China CA911
ATA: 16:29 (40 min ahead of schedule)
Seat: 53A
Aircraft: B 777-200
Flight time: 8hrs 40mins
Registration: B-2068
3rd flight on Air China
7th flight on a B 777-200
After a pleasant week in Beijing, it was time to fly home!
B-2068 had the honor to fly to Stockholm today.
Yes I know. Still red pants. No I have not used them for a week Legroom was OK. Air China in Stockholm, let us choose the seats before departure. 53A / C it was. It was fortunate that we choosed seats before departure. When we got to the airport, it was a full flight and no windows / aisle seats left. It is horrible to sit in the middle of a long flight like this one when the seat configuration is 2-5-2
The drinks came in either plastic or paper cups. Free drinks on board, including alcohol, which Aerosvit not offer.
I had the meat and it was not very good, but the Chinese beer was really nice.
A dark cabin picture
View somewhere over the Chinese dessert
Nightmare? Absolutely not! Of the two flights to Asia with Aerosvit and Air China, I have only positive experiences. You often get a ticket for a great price. No hidden fees a la Ryanair and (almost) full service onboard.
Just have to share with you an anecdote from my first trip with Aerosvit to Bangkok. At the airport before boarding, I went up to shoot the aircraft and there stood two ladies who started talking to me. They thought it was so nice that they did not have to fly with Aeroflot as one of the ladies son said that it is a horrible company. So I thought, and smiled. I let them live on the illusion that Aeroflot is a bad company and Aerosvit is so much better.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The problem with playing them online is that there hard to find, most online casinos only feature the American style slots. However, we have tracked down some of the best UK style fruit machines with features that we could find online. Thankfully Ladbrokes Casino online have a dedicated section of UK only fruit machines, each one has various bonuses, features and skill stops.
You can view video previews of the best games below, the good news is you can play all these fruit machines for free over at Ladbrokes casino, a try before you buy deal that you can't beat!
As you can see from the video previews above Ladbrokes Casino has a great selection of pub style fruit machines, in total Ladbrokes has over 100 fruit & slot machine games to play.
