Warning of the week: Channel Islands health care
Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney have been looking forward to a surge in tourism this summer, as British travellers opt for an "overseas" trip where they can still spend sterling. The islands have a special geo-political status that classes them as lying outside the EU. Therefore the usual intra-European rules do not apply. British visitors to the Channel Islands needing "immediately necessary" medical treatment have, until now, been covered by a bilateral health-care agreement. But the Department of Health says the treaty will come to an end next Tuesday, 31 March. From Wednesday, "Visitors from the UK are advised to arrange for adequate travel insurance in advance," says the department. Otherwise travellers will need to pay in full for health care.
Channel Islands residents travelling to Britain will also lose their entitlement to free emergency medical treatment on the NHS.
Bargain of the week: ski Easter
With only 13 days to Good Friday, late-booking deals for the school holidays are emerging for Austria – particularly for travel on Easter Saturday (11 April), the final departure date of the season for many packages.
Neilson (0844 879 8155; neilson.co.uk) is offering "two-for-one" lift passes in Austria as standard. If you are happy to have accommodation allocated on arrival, the company has a week departing Gatwick, destination Mayrhofen , staying on a b&b basis in one of the resort's guesthouses, for £321. From Manchester, also departing on 11 April, the company has holidays in St Anton for £395 per person.
Inghams (020-8780 4433; inghams.co.uk) offers a similar deal, based on flights from Gatwick to Innsbruck, with a starting price of £361 – including half-board. You can pay a supplement to guarantee staying in a particular resort, for example £49 per person for St Johann, or £98 for Mayrhofen.
Destination of the week: In tune with Serbia
The world music magazine, Songlines, runs a wide range of specialist tours around the world, through its Music Travel division (020-8505 2582; songlines.co.uk/musictravel). Destinations include Cuba and Cape Verde, but the most intriguing summer journey is to the Serbian village of Guca for the annual Brass Band Festival. The tour runs from 6 to 11 August, when 300,000 people descend on the village.
"For four days, there are 40 brass bands playing the local dances," says Songlines editor, Simon Broughton. "It's an unrivalled opportunity to experience the biggest, brassiest and Balkanist festival in Europe."
The basic price is £495, not including the cost of travel from the UK to Belgrade.

A/N: My thoughts after watching the Klaine scene in "New York" led to this – so spoilers for that if you haven't seen it yet (and if so, what are you doing here? Go watch it!). Enjoy.
Just breathe, Kurt told himself. Just keep breathing, move your hand normally - you're holding coffee after all and you don't want to spill it. Oh my god did he really just say that? He loves me? Oh wow he's still looking at me like that - that look that makes me melt every time. He really did say that. Oh I love him so much... oh! I need to respond...
"I love you too." Kurt said breathily, his face breaking into a smile, before he snapped out of the moment with the appearance of Sam and Mercedes. They chatted for a moment and then Blaine continued talking about his audition for Six Flags. Kurt kept up the light banter of conversation but he felt detached; the sound muffled somehow from the storm of delight taking place inside his mind.
He loves me, he loves me, he loves me! The mantra repeated over and over in his mind.
As they left the Lima Bean, headed to the record store, Kurt continued chatting with Blaine - he conceded that top 40 songs tended to be crowd pleasers, and Blaine performed them with aplomb, but suggested perhaps some accessible Broadway musical classics, or even Disney classics, would strengthen his repertoire. They kept chatting and debating as they walked through the stacks of sheet music at the dusty store.
All the while, though, Kurt's mind was swimming with memories, thinking back to the first time he saw Blaine - how he was struck, simply struck, with this beautiful boy who appeared out of nowhere, was kind, considerate, funny, and caused Kurt's heart to leap every time he thought of him. It was as if he'd had no choice - it wasn't just that Blaine was another out gay teen - rare as that was. From the moment Kurt saw him, even without knowing he was gay, the world around them seemed crashed and fade into the background. Kurt had eyes only for Blaine - with the intensity of an addiction - and something in the way Blaine looked back at him gave him hope that it could be real.
Those memories were the reason Kurt had been so taken aback by Blaine saying the three words he said at Lima Bean. Kurt had thought the words about Blaine in his head thousands of times, and had been on the point of telling Blaine almost every time he thought it. But he always stopped himself - it was too soon; maybe Blaine wasn't there yet; maybe he didn't quite feel the same way; maybe it would scare him away... the fear stifled Kurt's tongue while all he wanted to do was declare his love for Blaine and shout it to the world.
He wondered if his reaction at the cafe had seemed a little odd... or rushed. He'd been so paralysed by shock and amazement at first that when Kurt said "I love you" back he'd breathed it out quickly just to get it out without his voice squeaking or breaking up with the emotion of the moment. Blaine didn't seem to have thought anything odd about it - he continued chatting animatedly and had seemed very happy to see Sam and Mercedes randomly turn up at the Lima Bean - but Kurt's mind, in its dazed fog, couldn't be sure.
A thought stopped Kurt abruptly, while Blaine kept wandering down the aisle towards the musical scores. What if Blaine has carried on chatting easily because he's not sure of what he said - or not sure of what I said? Kurt pondered that point as Blaine continued around the corner, not having noticed Kurt was no longer a fraction of a step behind him. Kurt realised that he had been continuing to chat normally with Blaine although all the time his mind was elsewhere, processing what had happened. Maybe Blaine was just as unsure? Maybe he hadn't meant to say 'I love you' like that and the moment had just got away from him?
Kurt admitted to himself that their moment saying "I love you" hadn't been the most romantic (or at least not like in the movies or on stage) - they had been in a public place, unable to embrace, and while there had been music in the background it wasn't a great swelling score culminating in a long passionate embrace. Obviously it had been a wonderful moment, but the setting made it incomplete. He and Blaine needed to complete the scene, complete his dream in a more intimate setting.
"Kurt? What are you doing standing there like a statue?" Blaine had backtracked an appeared at Kurt's side. His playful tone snapped Kurt out of the fog, sounds and lights returning to their normal intensity as his consciousness reengaged fully with his environment.
"Hey are you ok?" Blaine moved towards Kurt. "I know you think a seminal Broadway classic would strengthen my audition repertoire but it's really just not me and I'm pretty sure it's not very Six Flags either." He reached his hand out to Kurt's arm. "Seriously Kurt," he asked again, "what's wrong?"
Kurt smiled and shook his head and body, clearing away the last of the fog. "I'm fine," he said, "and you're probably right" he sighed in defeat, "although I maintain Disney is definitely Six Flags and everyone loves those movies and those songs." He paused for a minute. "Can we..." he was amazed at how nervous and breathless he was suddenly feeling all over again. "Can we get out of here?"
"Sure," Blaine responded, surprised at the question. "I'll just pay for these," he waved a couple of music books in the air, "and we'll go."
Kurt felt his nerves fraying but he remained outwardly calm as Blaine chatted to the shop owner - charming as ever - before he finally finished paying and slid the books into his satchel. Kurt wasn't sure, but he thought that Blaine had glanced at him a couple of times, flashes of concern appearing on his features in between the light banter. His heart-rate seemed to rise exponentially as they walked out of the store and headed to Blaine's car. Kurt had decided what he was going to do. He was going to tell Blaine that he loved him - again. This time they would be in a private space, and there would be no doubt or uncertainty - for him or Blaine. This would be his moment.
Blaine hadn't tried to keep chatting, sensing that something was on Kurt's mind. As they settled into the car and Blaine turned the ignition, he placed his hand on Kurt's knee next to him and squeezed it lightly. "So where to?" he asked softly. Kurt looked around them. They were in the cocoon of Blaine's car but still in the middle of the town; life bustling around them. He needed somewhere private; where they wouldn't be disturbed. On a Saturday, that was a near impossibility in Lima, but then Kurt realised there was one place no-one would be.
"McKinley," he said. "I want to show you something."
If Blaine seemed surprised by Kurt's statement, he didn't show it. Instead he put the car into gear and drove out of the parking lot towards McKinley High. Upon arrival, they got out of the car and Kurt took Blaine's hand, leading him across the forecourt and to a side door to the left of the main building.
"This emergency exit doesn't lock properly from the outside and the fire code means they're not allowed to lock it from the inside," Kurt explained as he nudged it open, hand still clasping Blaine's, and led them inside.
The corridors seemed surreal without the day-to-day humdrum of a busy high school, and Kurt noticed for the first time how the light from outside bled through the high windows, shining on the lockers which in turn mirrored the light back onto the corridor, forcing them both to squint. He led Blaine to the auditorium, the heavy door closing with a low "boom" behind them as they walked in. It was pitch dark.
"This is kinda creepy all blacked out like this," Blaine said quietly, his heartrate increasing slightly as Kurt's fingers left his palm.
Kurt turned on the lights at the main control panel and they turned on, row by row, bang bang bang bang. On the final sound, a spotlight lit up centre stage in a perfect circle, the black floor shining by way of invitation. It was the only light on the stage.
"Come on," Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand again and they ran down the stairs and then up onto the stage. Once in the centre, Blaine turned towards the empty seats, shielding his eyes from the light and felt the familiar rush of excitement to be on stage.
"This is what you wanted to show me?" Blaine asked, a bit confused. "I've been here before you know - the benefit?"
"But you haven't been here," Kurt pointed to the floor beneath them. "I want to share this with you - sit down." The boys sat down, cross legged, knees almost touching, and faced each other under the spotlight. Kurt reached out both of his hands and closed his eyes as Blaine met him halfway with his hands. They held hands like that for a couple of minutes - as if in a meditative pose - their wrists resting on their knees; feeling the silent air in the auditorium surround and cushion them.
"You asked if I was ok before," Kurt broke the silence gently with his voice, soft and steady. He opened his eyes to see Blaine had opened his and was waiting patiently for him to continue. "I am better than ok Blaine." He continued, measuring his words to keep them from running together too quickly. "I said before that it's been a pretty good year for me, but I should have said that it's been a pretty good year for us. Before I met you... things had become difficult with school but even before then there had been something missing and I had been searching for something, someone, who would understand." Kurt felt his voice start to waiver and cleared his throat quickly. "As I've grown to know you, I've come to see we were in a similar headspace, even if our situations were different." Blaine nodded quickly, but said nothing.
"In the coffee shop earlier," Kurt continued, "you took me by surprise with what you said... In a good way," he added quickly, seeing a flicker of uncertainty in Blaine's eyes. "I mean, we were in such a public location and what you said seemed so out of the blue I even wondered for a minute if you meant to say it." He squeezed Blaine's hands sharply to stop him from interjecting. "Let me finish," he smiled a dopey grin at his boyfriend. "I most certainly meant what I said back to you, but I'm not sure if I said it or expressed it how I really wanted to - it was too rushed, I was too scared-" he stopped to take a couple of measured breaths before continuing, his voice low and gravelly. "And I'm still scared now, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life."
Kurt rose to his feet in one fluid motion, pulling Blaine up off the floor with him their hands never parting. He locked his eyes with Blaine's.
"Blaine," he said softly but clearly, his voice somehow filling the air in the auditorim. "I love you, with all my heart."
The air around them seemed to expand and then close in, a massive pocket of silent space contracting into a bubble around them. Kurt realised he was holding his breath and started to breath out silently, his eyes never leaving Blaine's. He then noticed a tiny spot of moisture forming under one of Blaine's eyes. He watched, in silent awe, as it formed into a tear and left Blaine's eye, slowly tracing down his cheek.
"And I love you, Kurt." Blaine's voice was almost a whisper, and he squeezed Kurt's hands even more tightly than before. "I meant it when I said it before, I mean it now, and I will continue to mean it more and more every time I say it - I love you."
The tear which had paused at Blaine's cheek ran slowly across the contour of his face to the corner of his lips. Kurt took a step forward, moving his hands to wrap them around Blaine's waist, as their lips met with a new type of kiss - surpassing any of the previous kisses they had shared. They deepened the kiss, pulling the other ever-closer until finally breaking for air, pulling their faces apart by a couple of inches only and keeping their arms wrapped around each other.
"So it's real then." Kurt said to no-one in particular, in wonderment. "We're in love."
Blaine nodded, and sniffed quickly while wiping the tears away from his cheeks. "Yeah," he replied in a whisper, "we sure are."
And they kissed again, the spotlight trained on them and only them, at the centre of the universe.

RV Freebie: 2016 BLM calendar planner going fast
We found ample space to mark down reminders on when we last dumped tanks, places we were supposed to be and when, and other useful notations having to do with our RV travels. And one of the best things about it -- we didn't pay a dime for it.
A few months back we sent a query into the California BLM folks asking about the possibility of getting one for 2016, and true to their somewhat bureaucratic hearts, we never heard a word back. Sounded like maybe it was too much of a good thing. But hold the phone (or the e-mail), today we hear the calendar/planner is back in limited supply.
Follow this link* to request your own copy -- but hurry, we don't know how long they'll last. [*Editor: We apologize. This link was good a couple of days ago when we posted this article, but they are apparently already out of calendars. I now went directly to the BLM website and searched for the offer and came up with a notification but no calendar offer. If they repost a link (if they get more calendars in), we'll update the link. We're sorry for the inconvenience.}

David Cameron has rebuffed a call by Boris Johnson for Britons who travel to Syria and Iraq to be presumed to be potential terrorists until they are proved innocent.
Downing Street said the Government would redouble its efforts to counter extremism following the beheading of the American journalist James Foley but stressed that there would be no "kneejerk" reaction.
Mr Cameron's spokeswoman said the security services and the police were not pushing the Mayor of London's idea. She also ruled out another attempt to bring in the "snooper's charter", which would give the services the power to monitor emails and internet use and has been blocked by the Liberal Democrats.
But the pressure on the Government to act increased when Scotland Yard revealed there has been a five-fold increase in UK nationals travelling to Syria or Iraq for terrorism purposes since last year. It said 69 suspected extremists have been arrested so far this year who planned to travel to Syria or fund terrorism there.
Video: British fighters call on Muslims to join wars abroad
Mark Rowley, an assistant chief constable, appealed to family members of potential UK terrorists to come forward. He said: "The biggest growth in Syrian-related investigations has occurred in London and the West Midlands. The growth of dangerous individuals poses challenges for policing, especially when nearly half of Syria travellers of concern were not known as terrorist risks previously. Hence, we appeal to the public to help identify for us aspiring terrorists - they may be about to travel abroad, have just returned or be showing signs of becoming radicalised."
Mr Rowley added that seizures of money which people had been trying to take out of the country to fund Syria-related terror activity had also doubled.
On Monday, Mr Johnson proposed an immediate change in the law to bring in a "rebuttable assumption" that people travelling to war zones without telling the authorities have done so for "terrorist purposes."
He also called for jihadists to be stripped of their citizenship, despite warnings from ministers that such a move would be illegal.
Number 10 said the Prime Minister was focused on a "patient and resolute" response to the "generational challenge" posed by Isis. His spokeswoman said: "People who insist on travelling to Syria and Iraq will be investigated by the police and the security services. In certain circumstances the home secretary can now remove citizenship from naturalised Britons. But we need to be clear on what are the measures we are able to do and what do the police and the security and intelligence agencies – what are the measures they want in order to be able to tackle that? That should be driving the discussion."
Harun Khan, deputy secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, warned that the Government's Prevent strategy to combat extremism had "failed" and was having a "negative impact". He told BBC Radio 5 that it alienated young Muslims and pushed them towards radical groups.
"Most young people are seeing this [as] a target on them and the institutions they associate with," he said. Many felt they would be viewed by authorities as potential terrorists if they went to mosques or joined other organised Muslim groups.Reuse content

Leo Bretholz made a daring escape from the Nazis by jumping off a moving train en route to Auschwitz. Decades later he led a campaign for reparations from the French railway that carried thousands of others to their deaths.
Born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Bretholz became a leader among activists who have called for reparations from governments and companies in Europe that aided the Nazi regime in its execution of the Final Solution. The controversial issue of reparations has figured prominently in recent considerations of a planned light-rail system in Maryland, where Bretholz settled.
The SNCF, the French railway system that historians say carried 76,000 people to Nazi camps, is the majority owner of Keolis, one of the companies invited to bid on the multibillion-dollar project. Bretholz was scheduled to testify before the Maryland General Assembly's House Ways and Means Committee on a bill that would prevent Keolis from winning the contract if the SNCF does not pay reparations to victims.
Bretholz had frequently recounted in speeches before lawmakers, schoolchildren and others his story of persecution and survival. He was born in 1921, to Polish immigrants in Vienna. His father, a tailor and amateur Yiddish actor, died when Bretholz was a boy. His mother supported their surviving children by doing embroidery. At his mother's insistence, Bretholz fled Austria after it was annexed by Germany in 1938. He recounted travelling by rail to Trier, in western Germany, and then swimming across the Sauer River to Luxembourg. There he was met by refugee workers who smuggled him into Belgium.
After the Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, Bretholz was deported to France. He entered Switzerland in 1942 but was returned to France and ultimately to the Drancy transit camp north-east of Paris. From there, he and thousands of others were sent east, bound for the death camp at Auschwitz, in what is now Poland. Years later, in testimony before the US House Foreign Relations Committee, he recalled the conditions on the train.
"For the entire journey, SNCF provided what was one piece of triangle cheese, one stale piece of bread and no water," he recalled. "There was hardly room to stand or sit or squat in the cattle car. There was one bucket for us to relieve ourselves. Within that cattle car, people were sitting and standing and praying and weeping, fighting."
In a recorded interview preserved by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Bretholz recalled his escape through a cattle car window on 6 November 1942. He and a friend removed articles of clothing, soaked the clothing in human waste from the bucket and repeatedly wrung out the moisture to increase the fabric's strength. The two men then used the clothes to force open the bars.
"We kept twisting the wet sweaters tighter and tighter, like a tourniquet," he told the House committee. "The human waste dripped down our arms. We kept going for hours, until finally there was just enough room for us to squeeze through. It was night. I went first, and Manfred helped me climb out the tiny window... He followed me, and we held on tight so as not to slip and fall beneath the train, and waited for it to take a curve and slow down. Then we jumped to our freedom."
Bretholz lay in a ravine and then moved into a village, where he received aid from a priest. He said that the Resistance provided him with false identification documents. He worked with the Resistance, falsifying documents and scouting Germans, and later helped refugees in France after D-Day. Of 1,000 people on his train to Auschwitz, Bretholz said, only five survived the war. Many of his relatives also perished.
He moved to the US in 1947, settled in the Baltimore area and ultimately became a US. citizen. He worked for much of his career in sales; at various times he sold textiles and cemetery plots and later managed bookshops.
He wrote a memoir, Leap into Darkness: Seven Years on the Run in Wartime Europe, with the journalist Michael Olesker. While acknowledging the extraordinary suffering of the victims of Nazi persecution, opponents of reparations note that many companies and individuals were coerced into co-operating with the Nazi regime; those people, too, faced threats of deportation or death. Critics also note the essential impossibility of undoing the damage of the past. But Bretholz was insistent.
"The train to Auschwitz was owned and operated by SNCF," he said before the House committee. "They were paid by the Nazis per head and per kilometre to transport innocent victims across France and ultimately to the death camps." He handed committee members a copy of an invoice. "SNCF pursued payment on this bill after the liberation of Paris," he said, "after the Nazis were gone."
Bretholz often said that there was one victim he could not forget. She was an elderly woman on his cattle car. "If you get out," she told him, shaking her crutch as he made his escape, "maybe you can tell the story. Who else will tell the story?"
Leo Bretholz, salesman and Holocaust survivor: born Vienna 6 March 1921; married 1952 Florine Cohen (died 2009; two daughters and one son); died Pikesville, Maryland 8 March 2014.

Youth Baseball Marketing Announces Coaches Email Database Mailing List - Nationwide
Baseball Marketing specializes in reaching the youth baseball market. With over 20 years of award winning marketing experience and a passion for youth baseball. We have what you need most - an email list of coaches and parents in all 50 states.
The company provides what clients need most - an email list of coaches and parents in all 50 states.
The company's mission is to: 1) bring valuable information to coaches and parents with the intention of improving the individual youth player's skills while giving parents options and the opportunity to save money through education and choices and 2) provide an opportunity for quality Baseball trainers, tournament directors and equipment sellers a way to advertise their services.
The company provides a comprehensive email database of:
* Little League coaches
* Tournament based coaches
* High school coaches
* List of leagues by state or region
* List of high school sport websites
The youth baseball market has exploded over the past 20 years. This is now a multi billion dollar market. Baseball Marketing provides the only nationwide list of youth baseball coaches email database. Until now, this list has been unattainable, or available on a limited basis.
The company provides services to:
* Batting cage owners
* Baseball trainers and instructors
* Tournament directors
* Baseball equipment sellers of all kinds
* College recruiting service providers
Baseball Marketing Director of Marketing Services John C. says, "After working in the industry as a trainer and tournament director, one of the hurdles the industry faces is a lack of communication between the providers and the coaches.
Youth baseball is one of the most expensive sports for kids: League fees, bats, gloves, batting cages, indoor training, tournaments, cleats, hats and other supplies all go into a season for every player. On average families are spending over $500 per year per child on youth baseball - many of these families spend well over that amount if you include travel teams. A high quality youth baseball bat can run as much as $400 - just for the bat. This is a booming niche market filled with affluent spenders.
John adds: "We have found that most individual providers in the industry are great at training players, but not as skilled at developing their marketing or web presence and attracting new customers. We have had great success at improving search engine ranking and website effectiveness for many local providers. They just don't have the time to deal with it, but it makes a significant difference in their ability to attract additional clients, especially in larger metropolitan areas where there might be 5 high schools within a 10 minute drive of each other.
The work is centered around preparing the client's internet presence (their resume) and then getting them in front of the appropriate audience via their email database of local coaches and parents.
The company offers:
* Professional Email Marketing
* Website Design and enhancement
* Search Engine Optimization
With affordable pricing and the ability to reach a regional or local database of baseball coaches email addresses, Baseball Marketing is helping their clients develop their businesses and at the same time bring high quality service options to local ball players.

The Israel Electric Company repaired high-tension lines situated in the area of the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv, Thursday evening, about two hours after a drilling machine hit the lines.
In addition to damaging the lines, the accident caused two closings of the highway between the La Guardia and Hashalom Interchanges, and disrupted railroad service that went through the area.

As the weather changes, a young woman's fancy turns to thoughts of sweaters. Warm, encompassing, figure-forgiving, fuel crisis-fighting sweaters. And, as we face another long hard winter, how much better than the waist-length knit is the full-length (or at least knee-length) knit dress, winter's equivalent of the shirt dress? Luisa De Paula, buying and merchandising director at www.my-wardrobe.com, says: "We have seen a 23 per cent increase in sales of sweater dresses against last autumn/winter and predict phenomenal sales this season."
There is a bounty of styles to choose from, whether Sonia Rykiel's merino wool patchwork dress, a hotch-potch of rainbow hues that recalls Elmer the elephant (£345); MHL's sturdy utilitarian grey British wool number (£165); Alice Temperley for Barbour Gold's gorgeous oatmeal Cambridge cable knit jumper dress (£249); or Jaeger's slate grey cashmere blend sweater dress (£199). Then there are the versions from high street titans such as Zara, Marks and Spencer – check out their Autograph stripe knitted dress with cashmere (£49) – and H&M, whose figure-fitting cable knit dress is a hit at £19.99.
Some designers have even chosen to specialise in the garment. Madeleine Thompson, a knitwear designer, explains its appeal thus: "There is nothing more luxurious, stylish or comfortable than wearing a cashmere sweater dress through icy streets to work on a January day." Take her pure cashmere oatmeal and charcoal striped Cobain dress, luxe but full of punky attitude (£297).
Chalk it up to coincidence or very smart planning but this season also marks the debut of an all-cashmere knitwear collection by Claudia Schiffer, which features a plethora of sweater dresses, from a divinely arty and deconstructed sweater/cape dress of pure cashmere (£435) to a ribbed ultra-subtle eau de nil merino and cashmere blend rollneck dress (£345).
"For autumn/winter 2011 I looked towards the 1960s for my inspiration," says Schiffer, "with A-line and tubular fitted dresses in earth tone colours. I wanted to develop a range that could easily move from day to night and allow women to feel comfortable, yet chic, in any situation."
Also 60s-inspired was the Sonia Rykiel collection. Nathalie Rykiel, president and artistic director, says: "The inspiration behind autumn-winter 2011 was a block party: fun and colourful. It's a story about a girl with an A-line dress and a 60s vibe." During the time of year that has the least amount of sunlight, brightness has a value all its own.
Yet not all sweater dresses are created equal and knowing what yarns are involved is crucial to making an informed choice. "Cashmere feels incredibly soft on the skin," says Schiffer. "However, I found that mixing cashmere with merino wool also works very well to maintain the structure and shape of the piece."
Thinner yarns such as cashmere also flatter most body shapes, though designer Peter Jensen favours 100 per cent lamb's wool for its traditional feeling and multitude of textures – from chunky to soft. He advises staying away from mohair sweater dresses because they tend to moult everywhere.
Most fashion insiders agree on the sheer versatility of the sweater dress, which can be dressed up with cuffs, heels and coloured tights or played down with big boots and leggings. "I like to use bold statement jewellery," says Schiffer, who recommends pieces by Kara Ross and Monica Vinader.

Blondie @ Foundry on First
Growing old in rock 'n' roll is one tricky beast, especially when you are Blondie, a band with a catalog defined by youth culture: sleek, sexy, funky, and ever stylish. Panic of Girls, the new record from Blondie, struggles with the contradiction. At 66, it's hard to think of singer Debbie Harry as the same fiery young woman who sang "Rip Her to Shreds," but on tracks like the group's cover of Beirut's "Sunday Smile" and "Mother," all you have to do is close your eyes and it's '78 again. Not that it's the goal of the band, per se. "Generally, we don't really try to reference the old stuff," guitarist Chris Stein says. "It just comes out sounding like us . . . with the instrumentation and vocals and stuff. I don't try to deliberately sound like Blondie; it just happens that way." Even if the band isn't focused on the past — and Stein's taste in modern pop like Katy Perry and Rihanna suggests that's the case — the record's best moment is "Love Doesn't Frighten Me," a surging power-pop blast that features Elliot Easton of The Cars. The record probably won't take over modern radio ("Everybody in the pop music scene is still all about youth culture," Stein says), but then again, the band's longevity surprises even Stein. "I never gave it a thought. I probably took too much for granted at the time."

Bargaining Frictions, Bargaining Procedures and Implied Costs in Multiple-Issue Bargaining
This paper explores how bargaining frictions and bargaining procedures interact to determine players' bargaining costs in multiple-issue bargaining settings. When bargaining frictions take the form of discounting and agreements are implemented as they are reached, issue-by-issue negotiation can generate bargaining costs different from those that occur if all issues are bargained simultaneously. These cost differences result in differences in allocations across bargaining procedures such that players disagree on the desired method of bargaining. Similar results hold for certain fixed-cost bargaining friction specifications. This analysis provides a potential explanation of both agenda bargaining and incomplete contracts.

Project Description
I have a VB6 project ([url removed, login to view]) that reads and writes data from a .dbf file. I have recently converted my CRM software and the data in the .dbf file is now stored in a SQL Express data file (seeing .adf and .pad extensions).
I need someone to remove my .dbf calls and replace the logic to read/write to the SQL database file instead. The project file is relatively small. I'm sure the field names have changed too, I can help mapping the old fields to the new names.
I have attached the project that needs to be converted to SQL. I can provide those file when the bid is won.
I have a 2nd project that is almost identical that the winning bidder will have the option to complete.

Black Seconds
Black Seconds
By Karin Fossum; Charlotte Barslund (Translator)
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Hardcover, 9780151015276, 272pp.
Publication Date: June 1, 2008
Suspicion immediately falls on Emil Mork, a local character who lives alone and hasn t spoken since childhood. His mother insists on cleaning his house weekly although she's sometimes afraid of what she might find there.A mother's worst nightmare in either case to lose a child or to think a child capable of murder. As Ida's relatives reach the breaking point and the media frenzy surrounding the case begins, Inspector Konrad Sejer is his usual calm and reassuring self. But he's puzzled. And disturbed. This is the strangest case he's seen in years.
"With sharp psychological insight and a fine grasp on police procedure, Fossum is easily one of the best new imports the genre has to offer."The Baltimore Sun
"In spare, incisive prose, Fossum turns a conventional police procedural into a sensitive examination of troubled minds and a disturbing look at the way society views them . . . A superb writer of psychological suspense."The New York Times

The 5 Nails on Vintage Florsheims. What purpose do they serve?

I have messaged Teacher but he hasn't logged in for some time. He used to work for Florsheim and knows the brand history very well.
I can only speculate that they served a need of some sort or were decorative indicators of the Imperial line. The old school thinking would lend me to believe they originally served a need but who knows?

I think the conclusion there boiled down to it not serving an actual purpose on a standard shoe.
I wonder if it is a nailed version of a pegged waist.

Unlikely for functional purposes. They are drove all the way through the insole even with a storm welt all the way around.

Just for clarification: I never worked for Florsheim. I sold them at an independent shoe store, back when they were USA made.
Hi guys. I'll be perfectly honest: I've never figured it out myself. I have those old shoes, and I've never noticed them making any sort of difference. Probably some marketing ploy. (The nails on the heels DO help quite a bit with wear and tear, though.)
Just for clarification: I never worked for Florsheim. I sold them at an independent shoe store, back when they were USA made.
The nails on the heels do make a major difference in wear. They are also hell on marble floors. I wore a pair to a meeting on the Hill once. Never again...
I am a very, very good skater. Can keep up with minor league pros level, at least in terms of speed, though I can't do agility drills as well as they can. Nearly always the best in any beer league or pickup game I'm in. Trust me, the skill does not help you much when it comes to nailed heels and polished floors.
Speculation on my part.
These are "Gunboats".
The first defining characteristic of a Gunboat is double soles (correct me if I'm off base here).
And when you add a second sole, you need the nails to keep the 2nd sole correctly attached to the first sole during the flexing incurred during walking.
The main reason I believe they are not cosmetic (ie just to facilitate sales) is that this shoe is literally one of the best manufactured shoes in the industry. Adding nails increases manufacturing costs without necessarily increasing sales to cover those costs. And here I maybe off base also because the Florsheim Company defined marketing practices for the industry.
This thread has gone silent, and I personally feel this is important information for the "flagship shoe style" of the Florsheim Company.
I'm hoping someone will dismantle an old pair and see if the nails are used to keep arch components in place, etc.
Also if folks know of anyone who worked in the Florsheim factories of this period, that will help also.
Continued speculation:
These nails enter the outer sole, pass through the double sole, and exit after passing through the inner sole (as pointed out by a member above). They must serve a purpose that mitigates a weakness at that point in the "sole system". However, what this "weakness" is, I don't know. And as I mentioned previously, it can be to keep sole components, like a metal plate in place (I assumed the nails straddle the plate). Once I get my hands on a pair that have no value, I'll have my local shoe repair guy disassemble them to see what can be discovered.

Ok, only sorta back... While I've been checking TeaChat somewhat frequently, I've been devoting virtually all my waking hours (and most of the time I shoulda been sleeping) to the creation of a new concept tea store.
Since I've left Adagio, I've been working on building the Tavalon Tea Bar in NYC. We're aiming to infuse tea with pop culture in a healthy and exciting way. How, you ask? We've got a DJ booth, fresh, young design and innovative blends of tea.
To make a long... long.... long story short (and not to promote another tea company too much-- I know I hated that when I was moderating!), we're announcing our grand opening to take place on April 28th.
I'd love to meet you all -- drop by soon and ask for me!
See you all soon,
Chris Cason
(ps.... If you have any further questions, please email me-- chris at tavalon dot com... I don't want to drag this along on TeaChat too long out of my deep respect for the guys at Adagio)
Chris is back!

Hello Everyone,
As you may have seen or heard, HCPL is moving their system servers to a new location this weekend. As a result all internet and database access that is provided by these servers will be temporarily unavailable, both online and in most of the branches.
Luckily, here at LSC-CyFair, we have almost 200 college computers that will have internet access, and database access (to some extent). All you need to use the computers is an HCPL library card or an LSCS student ID/library card (or ask about getting a guest pass).
Thank you

Well, the next time that happens, check out a few free apps and websites that will find the song and artist in just a few clicks. You can even find songs you hear in advertisements.

How to Restore Headlights PERMANENTLY
Headlight Restoration using Clear Coat. This video will show you how to clean and restore your headlights so they will never turn yellow or hazy again! You have seen videos on restoring headlights with bug spray, toothpaste, baking soda, and the kits you buy in the store, but all of these methods are temporary and eventually the haze and oxidation will come back. My method will first make the headlight clear by wet sanding and then put a UV coat on it to seal it in.

Lifetime LED Headlight Comparison & Install
Order at http://stomperoffroad.com/lifetime-led-headlights.html This video compares stock Jeep Wrangler headlights to Lifetime LED headlights. The Lifetime LED headlights are a great improvement over stock bulbs. Low beams output 2,000 lumens and high beams 2,600 at 22 and 30 watts respectively. High beams aren't noticeably brighter, just wider. The color temperature is 6000k, or slightly bluer than daylight. My only concern is water and dust getting into the light's exposed fans. Installation is simple and takes less than an hour with simple hand tools and tape. The connectors fit the stock plugs but wouldn't stay fastened. We had to use tape to secure them together and considered soldering them instead. The whiter color of the lights makes night time driving much easier thanks to more accurate color. So far oncoming drivers haven't signaled that the headlights are too bright. Besides proper fitting connectors, my other request is longer cables. The cable length limits mounting options and is a hassle in tight spaces. There is wiggle room in the Jeep but I foresee tougher installs on vehicles with less space.

Lady Gaga And Beyonce's 'Telephone' Video Premieres
Lady Gaga and Beyoncé unveiled the video for their "Telephone" collaboration on Thursday night (Mar. 11), and it more than measures up to the hype. Directed by Gaga's "Paparazzi" video helmer Jonas Akerlund, the "Telephone" clip is chock full of intrigue, prison fights, makeout scenes, mass poisoning and plenty of skin-baring versions of what you might call "outfits" (if strategically placed caution tape counts as such).
Even Beyoncé gets in on the high-concept fun, rocking black lipstick, driving a flaming "Pussy Wagon" (on loan from "Kill Bill" director Quentin Tarantino) and locking hands with Gaga at the end for a "Thelma & Louise" inspired finale. They don't sacrifice themselves like the superwomen in the movie do, though...instead, a "To Be Continued..." title pops up on the screen, which means this may not be the last we've seen of these two divas sharing the same screen yet.
Watch Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's "Telephone" video above, and tell us what you think.

You can say that again!
It is spitting snow here amongst the rain drops. It's 37 degrees outside so
nothing has frozen or frosted yet. What a miserable day to walk 5 dogs. Of
such is life.
Today is the annual Centerville garden seminar and plant swap. I've only
got three flats of plants to take in for the swap because of work, family
and other obligations, not to mention the weather. I decided not to pot so
much in pots this year as I ran out of them last year. I put a number of
smaller division in plastic baggies with their soil. At least it is neatly
contained. I know I'll get things at the swap that are freshly dug and in
box lids and grocery bags without soil. There is so much more I could take
if I had the time to dig it out. Maybe I'll have a yard/plant sale when I
get the rest out and potted up.
I've got to get plant labels made up! Everyone have a fabulous day!

Jon Stewart returned to the airwaves last night, following a long vacation during which he missed several major news stories. Stewart devoted the majority of his show Tuesday to the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, and how he believes many in the media are missing the point.
Stewart said it's foolish for commentators to accuse African Americans of race-baiting.
"Do you not understand that life in this country is inherently different for white people than black people?" he asked.
Months after Fox News's extensive coverage of the "War on Christmas," Stewart said its hosts are being hypocritical by getting so angry at something that primarily impacts white people, while criticizing something like Ferguson that primarily impacts black people as "race baiting."
He then went on to recap a recent encounter that a "Daily Show" corespondent and producer had while walking to conduct an interview. The white producer, dressed up as a homeless elf, and the black corespondent, dressed in a tailored suit, encountered a police officer who stopped the well-dressed African-American corespondent.
This, Stewart believes, speaks to a reality that some people don't understand.
"That sh*t happens all the time, all of it. Race is there and it is a constant," Stewart said.
"You're tired of hearing about it? Imagine how f*cking exhausting it is living it," he added.

The Bushnell Legend HD 8x36mm is a high-performance mid-sized roof prism binocular with outstanding optics. Its lightweight yet rugged magnesium chassis affords this fine optic a trim profile, while ensuring years of dependable use. This Legend HD is configured with fully multicoated extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses for optimum optical performance. These fluoride ED glass lenses offer an outstanding level of wide angle viewing performance - they provide amazing color rendition, enhanced resolution and vivid contrast while virtually eliminating chromatic aberration and color-fringing. The resulting views reveal distinct details that viewers with garden-variety binoculars would miss out on.
Each lens is custom-coated with Bushnell's proprietary ultra wide band A/R coating system to maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum (380-750 nm). This anti-reflective coating process optimizes each lens' brightness and contrast levels, while allowing colors to be rendered accurately. Finally, the exterior lens surfaces are treated with a water repellent Rainguard HD coating to minimize light dispersion from haze, mist, fog and rain.
This Legend HD sports a rugged yet lightweight waterproof housing with a magnesium chassis.

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is Fall TBR. This list is mostly books that I am excited about finally attacking after they came in at the library.
(Note: This is a very shortened version of the book stack that came in at the library. I had 45 holds come due at once. This is fine. This is normal. )
The Raven King, by Maggie Stiefvater
Because all my friends are jumping off this bridge shrieking about how fun it is, and I'm a completionist. So yayyyyy here I go. (YA Fantasy.)
Nobody Likes a Goblin, by Ben Hatke
So far I've enjoyed everything I've read by Ben Hatke, and this is from First Second, which is a frankly stellar graphic novel company. So bring on the picture books. I hear this one is about friendship! (Picture Book, Fantasy)
Radiance, by Catherynne Valente
All I know about this is space whales. SIGN ME UP FOR SPACE WHALES. On reflection, I've read some horrifying stories about space whales, so I'm really not sure why I'm so enthusiastic. Hmmm. OH WELL. (Adult SF, because I am a creature of dragons and jetpacks.)
Scarlet Epstein Hates It Here, by Anna Breslaw
I read a 5-chapter sampler, it was hilarious, I need to know what happens next. (YA Contemporary, because I'm trying to diversify my strict dragons-and-jetpacks diet.)
Wonder Woman At Super Hero High, by Lisa Yee
I'm prepping for the new movie. (JK JK I just like keeping up with what is going on in Middle Grade with tie-ins, etc, and also this has gotten adorable reviews.) (Middle Grade Fantasy.)
What Works: Gender Equality By Design, by Iris Bohnet
Katie read it and said it was great. I'm trying to read more non-fiction. Uuuuuuuugh okay I can do this. (Adult Non-fiction, because I'm trying to earn some grown-up stripes.)
Poisoned Blade, by Kate Elliott
The book this one is the sequel to was one of my favourites of last year, which you would know if I had ever written that "favourites" blog post. Oops. POLITICS AND COURT INTRIGUE AND THE SOCIAL SCARS OF COLONIALISM AND CONQUEST AND A ROMAN-INSPIRED WORLD. THIS BOOK MADE ME CARE ABOUT SPORTS. (YA Fantasy, because You Only Live Once, So You Must Live In As Many Worlds As Possible, i.e. YOLOSYMLIAMWAP.)
Once Broken Faith, by Seanan McGuire
The newest Tobey Date, and my birthday present from Bekki! I am caught between can't-wait-to-dive-in and oh-no-my-babies-i'm-afraid. I just care about everyone so much. (Grown-up Urban Fantasy. No dragons though. (yet?))
Return, by Aaron Becker
The long-awaited conclusion to the award-winning wordless picture book trilogy. A previous books in the series won the Caldecott Honour. I may have talked very fast and in a very high-pitched voice to Riley on the phone when I saw this was in at the library. (Picture Book, Fantasy.) (I started reading this while I was having blood drawn and it was so beautiful that it successfully distracted me.)
And finally, 1.
The Swan Riders, by Erin Bow
Sequel to last year's amazing The Scorpion Rules, which is hard science fiction sharpened to a needle's point and deployed with the precision of poetry. I am so scared. I am so excited. I have so many feelings and I am afraid of all of them. *reaches out to pet book and pulls hand back as though afraid of being burned*
So there's my top ten, inspired by the amazing and too-far-away Bahnree. Tell me yours!
