I've noticed at least twice this new fashion thing where woman wear dresses made in gold stretchy material, better suited for Halloween costumes of like, Cleopatra, or little dancers. Little Miss Sunshine would be better suited to wear this gold stretchy material. Not Jordin Sparks on the American Idol finale, and not Cate Blanchett when she was on the Red Carpet. And not three of the four Sex and The City women at their NYC premiere. (Only Cynthia Nixon opted out.)
Even Jennifer Hudson went for a shiny metallic alien suit.
It's not flattering. Not for anyone. It looks like aluminum foil and saran wrap on Sarah Jessica Parker, it looks soooo uncomfortable and even painful on Kim Cattrall, It looks like an 80's prom dress on Kristin Davis, and it is very "this should be saved for an Ice Skating competition" on Christian from Project Runway.
Which reminds me of just one more reason to boycott this movie until it comes out for free on cable. I may be the only woman on earth who doesn't care about this movie. I did enjoy the first two or three seasons but kind of got bored with the show after that one episode where they went to LA, and I really do not want to "get Carried away".

text: Hopefully it is better than the ones that denied Georgia a piece of the Tennessee river - just about one mile off... Interesting topic in "How the States got their shapes" on History channel. -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-bounces at febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-bounces at febo.com] On Behalf Of Michael Baker Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 5:40 AM To: time-nuts at febo.com Subject: [time-nuts] USGS Benchmark accuracy...? Hello, Timenutters-- There is a USGS survey benchmark on the side of the road just a half-mile from my house. Any guess as to how accurate these are? I parked my pickup truck over the benchmark with the LH box and antenna ( a 10 year-old Trimble surveyors antenna). I only let LH run for an hour-- I am not sure how I could leave a LH box out there for a long survey period without running the risk of theft. The survey marker is about 20 feet off the side of the road in a grassy area and marked only by a 4-foot-tall plastic USGS geodetic pole next to the buried concrete post. The head of the marker post with the brass plate on the top is flush with the surface, but covered with grass. I had to scratch around to find it. There is also a second concrete post in the ground about 30-40 feet away-- apparently you line up the two concrete markers to give you a true cardinal direction.

Last week our actors Kevin O'Brien, Julian Ahlquist and Molly Comer headed down to the studios of EWTN in Birmingham, Alabama to film scenes for The Quest for Shakespeare, a new 13 part series which will be hosted by Shakespearian scholar and author Joseph Pearce.
Joseph makes a compelling case for Shakespeare's Catholicism, and our actors help demonstrate this by performing several scenes from the bard's plays as well as by portraying various historical figures who knew Shakespeare, who studied him, or who were effected by the persecutions of the Elizabethan monarchy.
The series is scheduled to premiere in January of 2009, and will be available on DVD as well.
"Working at EWTN is a tremendous experience," O'Brien notes. "It's a miraculous place, and everyone there is dedicated to his or her faith in a remarkable way."
O'Brien and his actors played over sixty different characters in 56 scenes between them, including scenes from King Lear, Hamlet, As You Like It, Richard II and more. Watch for The Quest for Shakespeare on EWTN!

MORGANTON — Sir Walter Raleigh, our state capital's namesake, started North Carolina by sending the first European settlers to Roanoke Island at the Outer Banks. They tell the tragic tale of the Lost Colony whose settlers disappeared into the mists of time, marking the failure of Raleigh's dream but a harbinger of things to come.
That's what they told me in school. And they were dead wrong.
But I don't blame my schools. Because my history teachers back in the day did not know.
So I traveled here to one of my old stomping grounds where once upon a time I plied a newsman's trade. This time, though, I came seeking historical truth and to see our history books being rewritten.
European settlement in North Carolina actually began along an obscure creek running down from the Blue Ridge Mountain crest not far west of here in the hometown. Nearly 20 years before Raleigh's Lost Colony the Spanish actually got things started.
Much like the Vikings who came to Newfoundland before Columbus discovered America, the Spanish came to North Carolina before Raleigh's settlers discovered the Outer Banks. The Vikings forced us to rewrite our history books; we await to see about the Spanish in the N.C. foothills.
The Spanish colony failed, as did the Lost Colony after it and the Viking colony before it. But had the Spanish succeeded here, Carolina del Norte would've been far different today. And you just might've been reading this newspaper in Spanish right now.
OK, here's the story. Spanish soldiers set out from modern-day Parris Island, S.C., of Marine-base fame. They traveled up what we now call the Catawba River and settled initially in January 1567 at an Indian village named Joara.
The Spanish called their beachhead Fort San Juan, with a population of 30 soldiers. It became the largest of six Spanish settlements and the culmination of nearly 30 years of Spanish exploration in our region. They believe another settlement was on the Yadkin River at modern-day High Rock Lake in Rowan County.
After about a year-and-a half, though, our region's natives had had their fill of the Spanish, responded with war and wiped them out. Who says the Indians never won?
Then Englishman Sir Francis Drake burned Spanish St. Augustine, Fla., in 1586, opening the way for the English to come to Jamestown, Va., in 1607 and the rest, as they say, is history.
We didn't know all of this until 2005, when archaeologists hit the jackpot and found Spanish artifacts at the site of an old Indian village at the conjunction of what we now call Upper and Irish creeks north of Morganton.
There'd been stories of early Spanish settlement in our region but no evidence. In 2013 archaeologists concluded that they had indeed found the remains of a Spanish fort, the first European settlement in North Carolina. Scientific research continues.
To learn more I dropped in on the first-ever Spanish & Indian Colonial Trail Festival last month that commemorated the 450th anniversary of the settlement's founding.
The festival's highlight was a first-ever reenactment of the initial meeting of Spanish and Indians with a short history lecture by the project's lead archaeologist.
"The Indians had been expecting them for weeks," archaeologist and college professor David Wilson told a festival crowd of a couple-hundred. The Spanish had been tracked by the natives.
After flag-waving Spanish colonial reenactors from modern-day St. Augustine marched into a re-created Indian village in a very nice Morganton park along the Catawba River, Wilson told the crowd that the natives at the time, "were not simple people." The visiting Cherokee Warriors of Anikituhwa, a dance and Indian-history group, played the role of the host Indians who exchanged trade goods.
"They understood diplomacy," Wilson said of the earlier natives. "They had not seen people like this, though."
The natives turned against the Spanish. "We can only imagine why," Wilson said.
The Spanish probably ran out of items to trade, the archaeologist speculated. The Indians "decided this experiment was too one-sided," Wilson said.
He told me afterward that the Joara Indians' descendants would help form the Catawba Indian Nation that still exists today.
The Morganton-based Exploring Joara Foundation, which hosted the festival, is trying to get the word out. It has a new museum exhibit that will be traveling around the state.
"There is so much history here," Wilson told the crowd. "We can only imagine."
Stephen Harris returned home to live in State Road.

Apple iPhone 6 Rumors: Next-Gen iPhone Could Feature NFC Technology, Morgan Stanley Says
Apple Inc.'s (NASDA:AAPL) upcoming iPhone model, presumably called the iPhone 6, could feature near field communication, or NFC, as the core technology for the handset's mobile payment system, according to a new report Tuesday.
Craig Hettenbach, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, said in a recent note to investors that NFC is ready for market and the iPhone 6 could pave the way for its widespread commercial adoption, MacRumors reported, adding that Netherlands' NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:NXPI), which supplies the M7 motion-sensing chip found in the iPhone 5s is expected to provide the necessary wireless hardware for the technology.
Here is an excerpt from Morgan Stanley's note, according to MacRumors:
NXP is well positioned to participate in Apple's mobile payments ecosystem. The company signed a licensing agreement with a customer in Q4'13, who we believe is Apple, related to its emerging ID business. A recent patent filing by Apple revealed potential use of NFC and secure element, which we think could be embedded. NXP has also accelerated R&D spend to support a new program related to the IP deal, with revenue expected in 2H, lining up well with the launch of iPhone 6. We see this potentially adding $250mn in sales and EPS of $0.25 in 2015.
Apple, which has implemented technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for short-range communication features including AirDrop and iBeacons, is also rumored to be exploring NFC as an alternative.
According to a recent patent application, Apple was investigating a secure, NFC-based wallet that allows customers to make purchases wirelessly through their phone. The company was also said to be updating its in-store point-of-sale system with one that supports NFC, MacRumors reported.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at KGI Securities, also said in March that Apple was building NFC chips for the iPhone 6, a claim that was echoed by Brightwire earlier this month, saying that the iPhone-maker has reached an agreement with China UnionPay on a mobile payment service.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook also admitted during a earnings conference call in January that the company is interested in the mobile payments segment.
"The mobile payments area in general is one that we've been intrigued with. That was one of the thoughts behind Touch ID," Cook said.


text: It started out with so much promise: Google Allo, a new messaging app that would take on Apple's dominance. And it even came with end-to-end encryption — but there was a catch. You had to turn on the encryption first which, in an age of paranoia, wasn't enough. That drew ire from privacy experts and security researchers alike — even Edward Snowden took a swipe at it. He called the app "dangerous" and "unsafe," and advised users not to use the app until the default encryption issue was fixed. What did Google do to fix the problem? Nothing. It reversed its position entirely and began storing messages indefinitely — for every intelligence agency to see.

For day 2, my gal gave me a gorgeous stoneware nativity scene. I love nativity scenes!
She also gave each if the kids a bag of Christmas chocolate. They love it! For Kearsyn, she gave a baby's first ornament which is wonderful because I hadn't gotten her a first ornament yet.
Thank you so much!!

Some truths seem truer than others
A few years back humorist Dave Barry created a list of observations which he titled Twenty-five things it took me over 50 years to learn. Here's a taste..."They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never be peace in the Middle East. Billions of years from now, when Earth is hurtling toward the Sun and there is nothing left alive on the planet except a few microorganisms, the microorganisms living in the Middle East will be bitter enemies."

Barack Obama packs them in...sometimes
The media were all atwitter yesterday when reporting about the whopping 75,000 granola eaters who gathered in Portland to worship the ebony Messiah. What they weren't so atwitter about was reporting that many of those were likely there just to see the heavily promoted free concert by the popular regional band, The Decemberists. But hey, why let a pertinent fact or two get in the way of promoting the chosen one?
This reminds me of a few weeks ago when his holiness only drew about 12 members of his cult to a rally in North Carolina. Of course the paucity of devotees was never mentioned and on television the crowd appeared much larger. Fortunately, Mary Katharine Ham of Fox News fame was there to capture the moment in pictures.
No Tears For Senator Kennedy

I hate to be so distrustful
Is it just me or does anybody else suspect that Killer Kennedy's seizure is about to be used for a political statement? What statement you may ask? Why the "Kennedy is old, he could die anytime, ergo, McCain is a walking time bomb so should we really elect someone so close to death" ploy. I see Kennedy or his spokesman saying that Ted fought the good fight for his people but he really is and has been for some time, past the age of serving in such an important position. I know this view is very cynical but what is it about the left that makes anyone think they aren't capable of such dirty pool? Stay tuned for further developments.

Political Correctness in da house
For the past five years my eldest daughter, Lady Selfish, has worked as a cashier for a large national discount store. This afternoon she told me about a new policy that has just been implemented at her workplace.
As is common in retail outlets, merchandise has a way of winding up in the wrong place. For example,
because they are rude, thoughtless idiots a customer may pick up a football in the sporting goods department and after deciding against the purchase, leave it in housewares. In this company these out of place items are referred to, quite appropriately, as foreign. Yeah, you guessed it. Apparently someone within the company has complained that using the word foreign is offensive, so now the new term for goods that are not where they belong is re-shop. That--the taking offense at such a benign term and the overreaction to it--is a perfect example of the hyper-sensitive, perpetually offended, politically correct world the left has created.

White American Fear
When I was young, back in the '70's and '80's, the word most used by the leftists to describe conservatives was greedy. The Vietnam war was all about greed, any action taken in the middle east was all about greed, fighting(and eventually defeating) the Soviet communists was all about greed. You get the idea. The leftist's contention was that financial gain was the only motivator for the Conservative. They screeched from every rooftop that white Americans would enslave any minority, murder any peace loving people, sell any Grandmother(including their own) if there was a profit in it. The fact that there are millions of middle and lower middle class Republicans rendered this claim idiotic but of course that didn't stop the screeching. Over the years we got used to it and learned to ignore it much like the annoying hum of an old kitchen appliance.
It would appear, that lately, one of them stopped spewing venom long enough to realize that calling us greedy wasn't infuriating us the way they wanted. This is proof, by the way that, the screaming snot slinging, radical letfist CAN learn, but like an inbred child who grew up on a steady diet of lead based paint chips, it takes them longer. So they changed words. Make no mistake, we conservatives are still greedy but now what we mainly are is... wait for it....SCARED!
That's right, according to the grass eaters on the left, white American Conservatives are scared of almost everything. We are afraid of negroes, we are afraid of illegal aliens, we are afraid of muslims, we are afraid of homosexuals, and communists, and strong(abrasive) women, and public vulgarity, and drugs, and body odor, and bad breath, and... wait a minute I just noticed that all the things we are supposedly afraid of are things that they embrace and/or worship. Interesting.
Anyway back to my point. While I realize that this is just more baseless, childish name calling, I feel the need to address it, once. Although I am a white American Conservative, I speak only for myself when I say that I am not afraid of negroes. I'm tired of them. Tired of their shameless whining and bitching, tired of the inordinant amount of crime they commit, and tired of watching serious and important people pander to them. I am not afraid of illegal aliens, not afraid just tired. Tired of hordes of unwashed, uneducated, unhealthy, surly squalids pouring into my country illegally in an attempt to turn it into a third world cesspool remeniscient of the one they are fleeing. Same with the muslims and communists, no fear just tired disgust. These two groups have proven time and time again that the things they bring to the table are vile and unwanted by civilized people. It's long past time for us to stop tiptoeing around and come down on them like Thor's Hammer, once and for all. As far as homosexuals and strong(abrasive) women go, I'm not scared of them and I don't hate them, I just want them to shut up. Please?
Michael Moore's crockumentary, "Bowling for Columbine" is an example of the left's attempts to portray the least fearful group of Americans as dangerously scared crazies. His assertion that gun owners and concealed carry permit holders have weapons because they are irrationally afraid of crime, is like saying that anyone with a spare in their car is irrationally afraid of flat tires. When you think about it, it's almost funny, in a sad depressing sort of way.
In the big scheme of things, like the old kitchen appliance that's hum has changed pitch just enough to be annoying again, we will soon learn to give the left's new word for us all the attention it deserves.
His peace loving Obamaness
Our future president is going to solve America's international problems with an age old and proven technique, he is going to talk to our enemies. What wisdom! The good news is that the people who want us dead (see muslim) will change their ways and views due to this brilliant ploy! No more war! No more tension! No more enemy! My heart is filled to the brim with love for this sage of sages! Stupid, imperialist George should've thought of this years ago. He and Saddam could've shared some tea and biscuits, partook of the Harem, and worked out a great deal for both teams. Stupid stupid George. Luckily the vastly experienced in world policy Obamaman will take clean up the mess of poor stupid George. Wow times are about to be good! My hope has been rekindled! Oh and more good news is, all of the American hating peoples ( see islam) is pulling for him too! I even bet those wiley old Chinese, Russians, and Koreans from the north are pulling for him too. With all that love from our future allies how could anything go wrong?

Shoes fit for a King
My cool quotient is already so high that I was reluctant to do this post. Didn't want to seem all braggy and stuff. But I got over that.
These super cool custom Reebok NFL licensed Dallas Cowboy sporty sport shoes were delivered to my door this morning for no other reason than I live. They were a gift from my little brother who works for a national sporting goods concern. Check 'em out. They even have my name sewn onto the heel--which I scratched out of the photo--as extra proof of my coolness.

Tolstoy pegs Al Gore and his global warming minions
"I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."

Muslim Father Speaks - Daughter Still Dead
A couple of weeks ago we brought you the story of the 17 year old Iraqi girl who made the fatal mistake of falling in love with a British soldier and was subsequently stomped, choked and stabbed to death by her Muslim father. Well, not entirely by her father. Loath to miss out on the fun and excitement of snuffing out the life of their beloved sister, her two brothers chipped in until she was good and dead. Boys will be boys.
Now that things have settled down a bit and he has recovered from his two hours of incarceration, our Islamic father of the year has given an interview in which he tells us his only regret is that he didn't kill his vile daughter at birth. Surreal.

John McCain still Sucks
Make no mistake, I believe that McCain is the lesser of the three evils from which we get to choose. Still, I am dismayed at how poor a choice he is. He is against drilling for American oil in places where a lot of that oil happens to be. He believes in man made global warming and intends to take action in that regard. He is an illegal alien sympathizer and intends to take action in that regard. He is against making moHAMmed's murderous minions uncomfortable in order to extract information that will save Americans and their allies. And while he doesn't like to talk about it, he snuggles up to some vile leftists on issues like unilateral personal disarmament. Just saying these things about the REPUBLICAN candidate for President makes me "throw up a little in my mouth".
Things are going to get ugly in the general election. The far left will attack McCain as a phony hero, and they will be correct. Good, conservative republicans will be forced to defend his indefensable claim to the title of hero. The lefties will use his own admissions to breaking the Military Code of Conduct and accepting special treatment, against him. They will quote the words of men of higher rank and longer captivity who don't believe his claims of torture. They will trot out many North Vietnamese who will recount ALL of the preferential treatment he recieved as an Admiral's son. And finally,surely, someone will point out the idiocy of his claim to have refused early release in order to foil the communist propaganda coup. Since when does a PRISONER dictate to his CAPTORS? How does that work? And why aren't prisoners all over the world doing it? The fact is, if the NVA had wanted to release McCain they would have and he couldn't have stopped them. This particular lie is an insult to our intelligence. Am I the only one who sees this? Hello, is anybody there?
As I've said before, I admire and appreciate John McCain's service and his suffering. But I despise his claim to be something that he is not. Heroes are not mythical creatures, they exist and there are many of them among us. Unfortunately and despite his claims to the contrary, the Republican nominee is not one of them.

He did it again
Can you believe that that old devil, George W. once again allowed or ,better yet, caused another natural disaster that killed lots of people. He did absolutely nothing to prevent, warn or relocate the Myanmar people from the devastation of that massive typhoon. First his global warming policies CAUSED the storm, then his total apathy for humanity allowed so many to perish. It may be worse than that tsunami he caused a few years ago. Damn you George Bush, damn you.

In a Nutshell
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of men better than himself.

How will you die?
He who must not be named has created an interesting post about the odds of an American dying of a particular cause. I've never been all that good at analysis but if I understand the numbers, to give yourself the best chance of living to a ripe old age, stay away from automobiles and buy a gun.
Tales of the Reconquista
Thousands of hispanics converged on Seattle a couple of days ago. I'm not sure why, but my guess is that an image of the Virgin Mary appeared in someone's toilet. Whatever the reason, while they were all gathered together they decided to have themselves an Immigration March. Good times. If you like to read inspiring protest signs go here and knock yourself out.
I may have to rethink my opposition to illegal immigration after this. After all, mexicans will spell words that Americans won't.
P.S. One of the signs confused me. You'll know it when you see it.

Avian Influenza continues to Kill - Viets report 12th bird flu deathTopics: Health Issues
A 10-YEAR-OLD girl has died from bird
flu in southern Vietnam, becoming the country's 12th victim of the
disease in the past month, a doctor said today.
The virus has claimed 12 lives in Vietnam since December 30 and 32 since the end of 2003. Another two patients are in stable condition in Hanoi after testing positive.
Twelve people have also died in Thailand from the virus that has swept Asia since December 2003.
Early Saturday, a 13-year-old girl also died from bird flu a week after her mother, aged 35.
For more information on bird flu read a previous Hyscience post.
Update: Possible Cambodian case also - hat tip (Roth Report).
"Vietnamese authorities are waiting for test results on a 25-year-old Cambodian woman who was hospitalized on Jan. 28 with a high fever and died Sunday. Her lungs had been badly damaged."

Mark is generally very reliable, in my experience. The only issue he sometimes has is that as a novice player, he doesn't know everything about everything when it comes to airsoft guns (reference the non-PCS Tanaka issue from a couple of months back). I'd guesstimate that 95% of his customers are satisfied with the product + service, but you can't please everyone - he does try, though.
Sometimes delays happen that are out of his control (for example, a overseas retailer liek WGC who shows a stocked item on a website; Mark places the order on behalf of a customer, and unknown to him the item is out of stock. He waits a week or more for it to ship, waits as the order clears customs, he gets the box and finds something is missing. Then he has to go back and track down what was ordered and why it's not iin the box, and the customer has already been waiting weeks or months).
I think it's important to understand that now, more than ever, there will be delays in getting items, especially special orders. With only a few retailers left, the ones that do exist are swamped, and they can't control what CBSA do with the packages once they get to customs.

text: 28 July 2017 by Angelopedia Mark Latham praises Esma Voloder for integrating Australian culture 28 Jul 2017 | Angelopedia Miss World Australia Esma Voloder Australia Oceania Media commentator and Islam critic Mark Latham, who is also a former leader of the Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition, has come to the defense of newly crowned Miss World Australia Esma Voloder. He praised EsmaVoloder for throwing away the burqa and integrating Australian culture. Mark says that Esma is a good example of an Islamic woman who shuns the burqa, hijab. She should also be praised as a good role model for other Islamic women, as she is panned on social media for defending her faith. Now Latham has weighed in on the debate by suggesting that more Muslim women should follow the footsteps of the beauty queen, and not controversial former ABC presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied. Mark complimented Voloder on her lifestyle on his show "Mark Latham's Outsiders" and said, 'In the case of Esma Voloder, isn't it good to see a Muslim woman there not living her life according to the fundamentalist teachings of the Koran, Speaking on his online show.' Voloder opened up to Confidential this week saying "life is too short for negativity" following the backlash. "I forgive them … I feel it comes from a lack of understanding," she said at the time and "I am hoping to break down the barriers by just being me."

I was a rabid Laker fan in that period
and you identify what I think of as the Celtic strategy, a lot more than 'slowing down the game'. It was to make it a much more physical game - knock down the other guy when all else failed. Kareem and Worthy spent nearly as much time at the foul line as they did under the net.
I know Sirota's point is merely to say that you don't play the other team's game, and I certainly agree with him on the tax cuts.
I do advocate clotheslining Mitch McConnell.

Ryanair is calling on UK airports to enforce a two-drink limit after it was revealed the number of passengers arrested for drunken behaviour increased by 50% in the last year.
The airline has already banned customers from drinking duty-free alcohol on flights and stopped people flying from Glasgow Prestwick and Manchester to Alicante and Ibiza from bringing it on board the aircraft at all.
The company is now urging airports to ban the sale of alcohol before 10am and to limit the number of drinks per boarding pass to a maximum of two.
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "This is an issue which the airports must now address and we are calling for significant changes to prohibit the sale of alcohol at airports, particularly with early morning flights and when flights are delayed."
But MirrorOnline has seen a list of individual crew targets on alcohol, cigarettes and even scratchcards, for each flight a member of crew works.
In an email about "August Targets" to staff, seen by the Mirror Online, each crew member is instructed to sell four "liquor" drinks, nine "hot or cold drinks" from the bar and five scratch cards per sector.
It also says each individual member of crew should sell "two cig and two alcohols" per sector - as well as giving other targets for snacks, confectionery, fresh food, perfumes, cosmetics and gifts.
Staff are also told when selling snacks to "link sell with liquor" - and "all crew" are instructed they "must sell until 15 minutes to landing" on every sector.
"Individual targets will be checked and monitored daily," the email says.
A sector, in airline terms, is a portion of an itinerary, or journey, which may consist of one or more legs - with a leg being the portion of a journey between two consecutive scheduled stops on any particular flight.
An employee who contacted MirrorOnline - and wanted to remain anonymous - said 'all they care about are sales.'
The member of staff also further claimed staff are "threatened everyday with disciplinary action."
The anonymous employee told Mirror Online: "Ryanair state that not much alcohol is sold on board yet they (set) the targets that their cabin crew in London Stansted bases receive everyday.
"Cabin crew are threatened everyday with disciplinary action."
The call comes after figures obtained by BBC Panorama from 18 out of 20 police forces with a major UK airport on their patch revealed a surge in arrests for drunken behaviour on flights or at UK airports.
There was a total of 387 in the year to February 2017, up from 255 in the period from February 2015 to 2016, according to the statistics .
Ally Murphy, a former Virgin Airlines cabin crew manager, told Panorama: "People just see us as barmaids in the sky.
"I was pulled into an upper-class bed by a passenger who was feeling particularly lucky I guess.
"They would touch your breasts, or they'd touch your bum or your legs, or I mean I've had hands going up my skirt before.
"It's rage inducing, and you shouldn't have to deal with that.
"I guess I never reported it to the police because sadly, and this is completely wrong and only really occurring to me now, you kind of just accept it as part of the job. And it shouldn't be."
Another cabin crew member, who was unnamed in the programme, said airline workers had found "countless" litre bottles of vodka and they felt that Alicante, Ibiza and Palma were among the worst routes.
Alexandra Wilms, of the Balearic Ministry of Tourism, called for "high fines" to try and deal with the problem as "these kinds of people don't understand any other thing than really getting punished by paying a lot of money" while Airport Operators' Association chief executive Karen Dee rejected suggestions airports are irresponsibly selling alcohol.
Ms Dee said: "The sale of alcohol per se is not a problem. It's the misuse of it and drinking to excess and then behaving badly."
Panorama also points out that the UK aviation industry brought in a voluntary code a year ago.
It recommends that airports and airlines should work together to limit disruptive behaviour and sell alcohol responsibly.
Most of the big airlines and airports have signed up to this.

I went to the ballet with a friend who has seen significantly less theatre than I have. As we were lazily browsing our programs, he turned to me and said, "Now, you'll have to tell me if this is any good or not, because I don't really know much about ballet."
Suddenly I was struck silent. Who am I to tell someone what is "good" ballet? Can't we allow ballet to speak for herself?
When I was just a dawdling school girl, I took ballet classes. I knew my arabesque from my glissade and could pirouette with the best of them, but this didn't give me any license to turn and say what made a ballet piece beautiful or good.
A truly "good" piece of art (dance, monologue, or painting) doesn't need a critic to come along and declare it good. The art can stand on it's own. This is what makes art so powerful; we can all come together to appreciate a piece because it shows us something beautiful or true about the world and the people in it. The art speaks directly to us individually, and then we all say collectively that it is good.
In the moment, I mumbled an answer about knowing it's goodness by the movements being aesthetically pleasing, but I later realized it didn't matter what I said to him. He would soon come to know what "good" ballet is truly like. We witnessed some remarkable dancing that evening. While I was moved to tears, I could hear him sighing with contentment when a group of ballerinas swept us away into their world with their balancés and pas de bourrées.
He knew, and I knew, and everyone in that theatre knew that we had just seen a "good ballet," yet no one had to tell us so.

I never thought I'd be starting a blog, but becoming parents quickly changes your views on a lot of things. Parker has thrown us for quite a ride in the first few days of his life and this seems like the most logical way to share our drama with the rest of the world. Here's to hoping that our life becomes more blah, blah, blah soon!

Snowpocalypse Reminders
With this said, I decided I need to make a list of things to do before the next snowpocalypse. There were some things we said we learned after the 2009 White Christmas in the Falls, and we didn't do them this time. So the next time something like this hits (which will probably be when Parker is in college), we will be prepared.
1) Park one car in the garage and one car on the street. This way you have two options for driving and may not end up with ice/snow drifts blocking both cars. Both of our cars are currently trapped in the garage indefinitely...
2) Make sure both cars have gas so you can run the heater if you get stuck somewhere. I did fill up both cars on Monday, a lot of good that did.
3) Stock up on several days' worth of meals. But more importantly, stock up on anything you might possibly need to bake with. I've been inspired to try some new things, but then I realize I'm missing key ingredients in the pantry. Some of these essentials include: flour, white & brown sugar, shortening, buttermilk (fun biscuits), whipping cream (why not), baking powder & soda, cocoa powder, cream of tartar (for snickerdoodles of course), you get the idea.
4) Stock up on crafting supplies so you have something to show for your hours of sitting around. I wish I could beam myself to a Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's, or Michaels for some spray paint, scrapbooking paper, and styrofoam wreaths. At least I have burlap, rubberbands, and recycled baby food jars to keep me entertained for now. Give me another day and I may start mod-podging the bookshelf in the back closet.
5) The next car we buy will have four-wheel drive. It will be totally worth the extra money when you get stuck in the mud at a deer lease or ranch, or when you have a freak snow storm in Texas.
6) Purchase some sand and the big bags of Morton's rock salt and hide it in a corner of the garage. I thought it was dumb that our Wal Mart was selling rock salt in December, and now I could use it on my driveway or break out the ice cream maker we got for our wedding eight years ago and have never used.
7) Get our heating and air conditioning units serviced in the fall and spring - just in case. Our bedroom heater went out on Wednesday after the rolling blackouts. Apparently, the thermostat that was installed last June was only programmed for stage one heating. What is stage one heating, you may ask? Its a low-blow and low-flame on the gas furnace. When it's 12 degrees outside, you need stage two heating with high fan flow and high flames. We're back in business and the repair was free since the unit was only seven months old.
8) Marry your best friend and have lots of patience. I don't think Benton and I have ever been stuck together for four plus days with no interaction from other people. We're both very extroverted and don't spend a lot of time "sitting around" the house. We are the opposite of homebodies - more like awaybodies. I may not have earned any money this week, but at least he has been able to have conference calls and be home with me and Parker. Its a good thing we like each other or we might have gone crazy by now!

Glad to hear you survived though it looks like more is on the way. Maybe it'll all be the good stuff this time. Just saw your pic in the church newsletter. That's the church we belong to as well. We were a part of the Epiphany class and wish we could continue the bonds that were forming. Hope you find a way to get involved. That's also where Allyson went to school and it was a bonus for us Love Stringfellow. Garrett will go one year there before heading off to kindergarten!ReplyDelete

Cherry Lateral File Cabinets - The need for structured storage has existed since history started to be recorded. Filing techniques have become a required part of business life. Now, with all the with the help of of the file cabinet that is cell, keeping organized is more easy than ever. File cabinets are already number one when it comes to space-conserving, and now they've been highly convenient as well. Mobile file cabinets are extremely little cupboards, created to be moved.
These compact cupboards make moving, archiving and arranging a piece of cake. Simply maintain all documents that are current at the end of the year, then inside, transfer these cupboards to your archive location and empty into the archives. This eliminates hrs of transferring flat documents to boxes, moving them down the corridor to the records room and then re-filing them. Together with the cupboard that is cellular, you merely cart everything at once.
These allow for easy meeting set up. Meetings can run for extended durations of time and nothing makes them seem longer than being forced to break look up a specific bit of information or every time somebody needs to pull a file. With one of these type of cupboards, everything could be offered in one room. All of the documents needed for the matters of discussion could be placed in the meeting room forward of time growing productiveness and drastically lowering wasted time.
These tiny, lightweight, cupboards are also perfectly sized for the home-office. They're about the same size as a night stand and serve two purposes. They and they provide storage-space that is organized and an additional work surface, respectively. The home office is typically a compromise because of room limitations that are extreme so a dual-purpose little bit of furniture like a mobile file cupboard is extremely of use.

Preparing Faculty to Be Inclusive Teachers (Institute)
- About Us
- Academic Culture Programs
- Teaching Programs
- Scholarship Programs
- Career Planning Programs
- Events Archive
Through a semester-long institute participants will have the opportunity to hone their skills for appreciating, leveraging, and responding to diversity within their classrooms. Participants will gain knowledge in areas associated with inclusivity and multiculturalism (e.g., race/ethnicity, nationality, ability status, etc.) and tools in managing group processes and difficult dialogues, addressing inflammatory and prejudicial comments, becoming aware of microaggressions and how to prevent them, and fostering more inclusive, equitable learning environments. Participation will enhance agency and confidence in making classroom environments more multiculturally-minded and will create a community around issues of inclusive excellence.
Faculty participants will make progress toward these program outcomes:
- Bringing together a community of faculty committed to teaching for diversity and inclusivity,
- Reviewing literature, research, and best practices on inclusive pedagogy,
- Developing specific teaching strategies for inclusion and diversity, and
- Increasing awareness and confidence related to issues of diversity.
Faculty participants will make progress toward these teaching outcomes:
- Appreciating pedagogy—the art and science of teaching and learning--as a significant higher education endeavor,
- Identifying factors that influence pedagogical choices,
- Creating assignments and/or courses that support higher-level learning (deep learning),
- Designing and offering courses or curricula that align learning objectives, assessment, and learning activities,
- Articulating how current pedagogical choices reflect disciplinary norms,
- Practicing the integration of scholarship and teaching,
- Integrating knowledge of student development models in teaching philosophies and practice.

im growing up that way,
not sure who is the one that influenced me,
but yea, that's me.
i've been keeping a lot of secrets to myself,
which i dont even know who can i talk to.
keeping secrets to myself really made myself feel extremely exhausted=(
but whatever it is,
im not a person that simply believe in people,
i guess that's the reason i chose to keep all into myself.
not i chose to not believe in others,
just people keep betraying me for no reasons,
that's why im really not dare to trust anyone anymore.
world is cruel isn't it xp
i'll still have family- people that really trustable,
i will choose to tell them when im really unbaerable on something that keep disturbing me for long time.
but but ..
not everyone think the same way,
people cant bare me after i told them my problems,
cause i will keep begging them for a solution even though i dont wish ti change anything.
so conclusion, keep everything to myself , pretend im okay with it, im happy with it is the best way for me isnt it xp
yea! bring happiness to people instead of sadness is the best thing ever! =)

There are long white stem like pieces that look like they were the root of the feathers that are no longer there. I don't know what to do about this! From the little information I quickly found on my lunch break it looks like they are molting. Is this possible? I thought they only molted in the fall? Please help! EKK pictures to follow

World number one Rafael Nadal booked his place in the quarter-finals of the Sony Open after thumping 14th seed Fabio Fognini in Miami.
Nadal, who is bidding for a maiden title in this competition, dropped just one game against the overmatched Denis Istomin in his last match and was equally impressive in a 6-2 6-2 victory over Fognini.
The 27-year-old Spaniard did not lose a single point on serve in the first set, with Fognini pushed to the limit by the top seed's powerful groundstrokes.
Fognini was well below his best and fell 4-0 down before stopping the rot in the fifth game, but the Italian could not impose himself on Nadal's serve and duly lost the first set before being immediately broken at the start of the second set.
Nadal, a runner-up in this tournament on three occasions, was rarely stretched thereafter and duly wrapped up victory inside 62 minutes against an opponent who made 35 unforced errors.
The 13-time grand slam champion will next face 12th seed Milos Raonic in the last eight, with the Canadian ending lucky loser Benjamin Becker's run in the competition with a 6-3 6-4 victory.
Second seed Novak Djokovic was also rarely troubled in a 6-3 7-5 win over Spain's Tommy Robredo and he will next face Andy Murray, who defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4 6-1, in a mouthwatering encounter.
Djokovic has an 11-8 lead in the head-to-head meetings with Murray but the Serbian will be champing at the bit for revenge after losing in the final of Wimbledon in 2013 when they last faced each other.
Meanwhile third and fourth seeds Stanislas Wawrinka and David Ferrer both exited the competition after suffering three-set losses.
Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka battled back from losing the first set to Alexandr Dolgopolov to take the match to a decider, where the 22nd seed found his rhythm to seal a 6-4 3-6 6-1 victory.
Ferrer, meanwhile, lost a gruelling contest against Japanese 20th seed Kei Nishikori, who triumphed 7-6 (9/7) 2-6 7-6 (11/9).
Nishikori will meet Roger Federer next after the Swiss hammered Richard Gasquet 6-1 6-2, while Tomas Berdych set up a quarter-final tie against Dolgopolov with a 6-3 7-5 win over home favourite John Isner.
In the women's event, world number one Serena Williams cruised into the semi-finals by crushing fifth seed Angelique Kerber 6-2 6-2 in 62 minutes.
She will face Maria Sharapova in the last four after the Russian sealed a 7-5 6-1 victory over fellow former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.
However, Sharapova must end a dreadful run against Williams in order to progress to the final of this competition for the fourth successive time, having lost her last 14 meetings with the American.
Top seed Rafael Nadal and reigning Aussie Open champ Stanislas Wawrinka posted straight-set victories in the third round at the WTA and ATP Miami Masters hardcourt tournament on Monday.
French Open champ Nadal needed just 59 minutes to rout Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan, 6-1, 6-0 while Wawrinka cruised into the fourth round with a 7-5, 6-4 dismantling of Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France at Crandon Park.
"I'm happy with the way I was fighting, the way I stayed positive in the game," said the 28-year-old Wawrinka. "Even if I was wasn't moving or playing so as well at the beginning, I stayed with him.
"I was fighting with myself to get control of the point."
Nadal, who has finished runner-up in this event on three occasions, will next face 14th-seeded Fabio Fognini, who battled back to beat Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Swiss Wawrinka will square off against Alexandr Dolgopolov after the 22nd-seeded Ukrainian rallied for a 3-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7/5) win over Dusan Lajovic.
Wawrinka has already won two titles this year, including claiming his first grand slam win in Melbourne in January. His best previous finish in Miami was a straight set loss to Nadal in the round of 16 in 2009.
Like Nadal, Canada's Milos Raonic barely broke a sweat on Monday.
Raonic, who dropped only five points on his serve in the match, reached the last 16 for the first time after being forced to withdraw from third-round matches with injuries the past two years.
"I just generally improved, especially on second serve returns (and) taking advantage more of those opportunities," Raonic said.
He next faces German Benjamin Becker, who beat Slovenia's Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 7-5.
"It's going to be a tough match but it's up to me," Raonic said. "I've got to play well. If I do, I can always give myself an opportunity to do well."
Seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych downed Portugal's Joao Sousa 6-2, 6-4, while 10th-seeded John Isner posted a 7-5, 6-3 victory over 18th-seeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain.
The American Isner will face Berdych in the next round.
On the women's side of the draw, world number one Serena Williams breezed into the quarter-finals while Russian fourth seed Maria Sharapova battled through three sets to advance.
Top-seeded defending champion Williams routed US qualifier Coco Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-1 in 78 minutes to book a last-eight matchup with German fifth seed Angelique Kerber.
Sharapova rallied to defeat Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 after two hours and four minutes while Kerber took six minutes longer to eliminate Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 1-6, 6-3.
Williams smashed 17 winners to only 11 unforced errors and denied her compatriot on all six of her break-point chances to book her 13th quarter-final in 14 Miami appearances.
"It was a much tougher match than the scoreline showed," Williams said.
Williams owns a 3-1 career edge over Kerber, whose lone win came two years ago on the Cincinnati hardcourts.
"I feel better than I did in my first few matches, though, so I hope I can keep going forward," Williams said.
Four-time grand slam champion Sharapova, a five-time Miami runner-up, is still seeking her first title at the hardcourt event.
"It's not like I didn't have my opportunities in those finals. I just didn't take them. That's why you come back and hope for another chance," Sharapova said.
The Russian made 10 double faults, half of them in the first set, and served no aces but improved as the match progressed and in the final set won five of 12 points off the Belgian's first serve and seven of nine off her second serves.
Next up for Sharapova will be Czech eighth seed Petra Kvitova who beat Serbian 12th seed Ana Ivanovic 3-6, 6-0, 6-0.
Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia also advanced by beating Venus Williams 6-1, 5-7, 6-3.
Two-time winner Roger Federer and defending champion Andy Murray eased into the fourth round of the ATP and WTA Miami Masters, producing efficient wins in heat and humidity Sunday.
Fifth-ranked Federer pounded Dutchman Thiemo de Bakker 6-3, 6-3 in just over an hour while British sixth seed Murray downed practice partner Feliciano Lopez 6-4, 6-1.
Ivan Lendl, the coach from whom Murray recently parted, was sitting in the player box to watch his former protege's triumph.
Federer, 32, broke for victory in the final game, with de Bakker saving a pair of match points but also double-faulting at a crucial moment. Federer secured his 21st match win of the season when a backhand from the Dutchman floated long.
"I'm feeling really good with my game," said Federer, who next faces French ninth seed Richard Gasquet. "My confidence is high and I'm moving well. I'm excited about how I've been playing."
Federer said he will need to gather information on Gasquet, whom he last played in November at the season-ending event in London.
"We've played many times and I'm not sure how he's playing right now," he said. "I have to find out a little bit."
Murray polished his record to 9-0 over Lopez in only 73 minutes. The Scotsman, who does much of his off-season training in Miami, improved to 21-6 in the US city.
"I don't know how hot it was, but when we came over at like 9:30 it was already 80 Fahrenheit (23 Celsius) and it was extremely humid. They are not easy conditions," said Murray.
He now faces French 11th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who outlasted Marcos Baghdatis 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), 7-5.
Murray has won eight of their nine ATP meetings, the most recent last year on grass at Queen's.
Tsonga fired 16 aces
Tsonga trailed a set and was down 5-1 in the second-set tiebreaker when he suddenly found some much-needed form, rallying to win after two and a half hours.
The Frenchman fired 16 aces and needed only one break of serve to make the winning difference.
"It seemed like a very tough match," Murray said of Tsonga's win. "A lot of tight games towards the end. He did well to come back."
Also advancing was Chinese world number two Li Na, the reigning Australian Open champion who dispatched American Madison Keys 7-6 (7/3), 6-3.
Li spent nearly an hour surviving the first set, saving two set points on the serve of 38th-ranked Keys. The American committed a backhand error on her first chance and double-faulted on the second before Li got the break for 5-4 in a set which eventually went into a tiebreaker.
Li won the decider on the first of four set points to seize the momentum. She then saved a pair of break points in the final game and won after one hour, 41 minutes.
"It was a pretty tough match," Li said. "She played well, big serve, big forehand, especially when she was 3-1 down and then come back 5-3 up and served for the first set.
"During that time I didn't think about too much. I say, 'OK, try to hit the ball, try to do what you have to do, and I think saving the set points at least kept me in the first set.
"This changed the match a little bit, because after that I was feeling her level drop."
Li won despite seven double faults, 26 unforced errors and just 11 winners. She will next tackle either Carla Suarez Navarro or Kaia Kanepi.
Polish third seed Agnieszka Radwanska, last week's Indian Wells runner-up, beat Russia's Elena Vesnina 7-5, 6-3 and next meets highly-rated 19-year-old Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.

So, many things had to be done to get our ship ready for war. We all moved into 'action rig' instead of normal day clothing. All loose equipment down to seat covers were removed, the logic being that anything that could foul a damage control pump should be ditched. Of course my cabin was on the same deck as the flight deck and if water had got that high then maybe things had really gone wrong. It was quite funny how some things got out of proportion. There was a move to remove some of the flight deck markings to make the ship less visible - what?!! Darken ship procedures became very de rigeur. Showing a light at night was meant to be fatal. Bit of a shame then that they had to turn on the damn things so we could land back on the deck at night. At the same time they painted a bloody great black stripe down the funnel and sides of our Type 42 destroyers so they weren't confused with the two the Argies had. Some clown even suggested we should carry our gas masks as they could be used to help escape from a smoke filled compartment - going against the last three thousand years of safety thinking - if there's smoke, there's no bloody oxygen and no gas mask is going to help. Me, I carried the case but it contained my actions station mug, chocolate and other come in handy stuff. So on we go to beards....... As the photo shows below some of us were rather proud of our face fungus (even if Fiona hated it). One day a ships memorandum appeared saying that they all had to be shaved off because of the danger of making 'flash burns' worse. Of course we all wore anti flash hoods when needed but apparently, once again all safety thinking of previous years was thrown out of the window. Despite protests we were told to bloody well get on with it. So I attempted my revenge. I produced a further spoof memorandum saying that it had been decided that as beards were a burn hazard then so was all body hair and therefore all of it had to be shaved off. I was hoping that that the next day someone would turn up bald and shiny but unfortunately no one took the bait, probably because they thought the whole thing was stupid in the first place.
Shiny, happy, hairy, people.
So this is what I spent the next three months wearing. The green suit is my 'goon bag' a dry suit designed to increase survival time in the water not unlike modern diving dry suits. It was uncomfortable enough for one flight but I wore it all day every day. The nine millimetre pistol almost killed me. We were issued them for self defence if we came down in the islands, but there was nowhere really to keep it, so I wrapped it in a duster and kept it in the bottom ankle pocket of the suit. After the war I found that it had worn a hole in the inner lining of the material which meant my goon bag would have been useless. The blue thing on a strap is my standard issue life jacket, I had a much better one in the aircraft and that is what I would have used. Oh and the white thing around my neck is my anti flash hood to protect me from flash burns on my now smooth shaven beardless face!!!!
