Curses, Foiled Again, and Again...
Trip Start
Jun 08, 2010
Trip End
Aug 26, 2010
It was still raining, albeit lightly when I was ready to leave my hotel. I checked the weather on-line and there was a chance of rain and significant clouds predicted for the whole day. I had been hoping the weather would clear-up in the afternoon and I could go to the outdoor activities then, but it didn't look good. When I got over to the Old Town, the rain had stopped at least and an occasional blue patch of sky was visible amongst the gray. Given the bad weather forecast, I decided that was as good a time as any to visit the fountains, but I'd still skip the mountain-top.
The fountains were indeed running, and there were quite a few people in the tour. A guide gave the tour in German and English, doing German first then repeating in English. Hellbrunn Palace, was commissioned by the prince-bishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems as a location for parties and other festivities. He seems to have been somewhat of a prankster, if not a jerk, which I'm sure is a fine line. There were several instances where the water was used to drive mechanical or musical devices, but most of the fountains were intended to soak unsuspecting visitors.
In particular, the first set of fountains we saw may not have been appreciated by all of his guests. There was an outdoor table where food was served. In the middle of the table was a tub for holding ice or water that could have been used to keep wine cool, so that part was nice. The trick was a fountain built into the seat of each chair (except for the bishop's, of course). The fountains were triggered at the end of the meal and sprayed quite the gush of water up the guests' pantaloons.
Modern guests to the garden could also expect to get wet. The guide usually demonstrated the fountains by squirting unsuspecting visitors. It took some members of our group longer than others to figure out when she said "and there may be a surprise in store..." they should not stand in front of anything that looked interesting. Of course, since it had been raining earlier, we all had our rain gear and umbrellas on, so that may have taken some of the edge off of it. The little kids still did quite a bit of squealing and jumping, though, and because it was raining and a bit cool, instead of hot and sunny, there was slightly less enthusiasm for getting sprayed than there might have been in August. I managed to avoid any big soakings, but probably would have gotten quite a bit wetter if I hadn't been wearing my jacket.
I dried-off on my way back to the bus stop. In addition to the fountains, there was also the gazebo used in the Sound of Music (although only for exterior gazebo shots, the filming of the "16 Going on 17" musical number was actually done in a sound stage) and a few of the staterooms of the palace to see. I started to go to the staterooms, but there was a large group of middle school children in the lobby. They had run the museum out of German audio guides and seemed likely to acquire all of the English guides as well. I knew my next stop was going to be a visit to the staterooms of the prince-bishops' residence back in Salzburg, so I decided the Hellbrunn staterooms weren't worth braving the crowd.
Back in town, before the staterooms I wanted to check out something called the Catacombs near St. Peter's Monastery. The Salzburg brochure said they were originally built by early Christians. I expected something like a cross between the catacombs from St Stephen's in Vienna and the early-Christian burial site in P�cs. When I got there, I discovered they were nothing like either site.
Even the Catacombs-specific brochure (as opposed to the general Salzburg brochure) said the term "catacombs" was inaccurate. It was basically just two small rooms cut into the cliff above St Peter's Cemetery. There were altars in both rooms, one which may have actually been from early-Christian times, and the traces of a mural, but that was it. As much as I love things cut into cliffs, it was underwhelming. My favorite part was actually the common grave at the entrance to the "catacombs" with paintings of Death or skeletons in various scenes, but that was just a part of the regular cemetery, and not actually catacombs-related. At least the catacombs were free with the Salzburg Card.
With the "catacombs" complete, I was on to see some staterooms. Unfortunately, when I got to the Residence, I discovered the staterooms were closed until Saturday. I think for some sort of renovation, or update of the exhibits, but I didn't bother to ask as I sulked away to console myself with a giant chocolate covered pretzel. On the plus side, the sky had cleared and the sun had come out.
Needing something else to do, I flipped through the brochure that came with the Salzburg Card and found a tour of the Festival Hall was free and started in just over an hour, leaving plenty of time for me to sit on the stairs watching the now sunny plaza and eating my comfort pretzel. It turned out to be a pretty good place for people watching as some sort of matinee was starting the the Festival Hall and there were plenty of people in fancy dress coming and going.
The Festival Hall tour started out strong. We got to see the Big Hall when stagehands were busy setting things up for a performance. Like the Vienna Opera House, the Festival Hall never did the same show two nights in a row, so everything had to be torn-down and set-up every day. It had a much shorter season than Vienna, though, with the venue mainly being used during the Salzburg Festival, which took place for a few months in the summer. During that period, they would go from around 100 employees to over 2000.
The rest of the tour was disappointing. Because there was a show in the Small Hall (aka the Summer Riding School from the time when it had animal shows), we couldn't see that one. There was a third hall, the Hall for Mozart, but we weren't shown that one either. Instead, we got to see a lobby, an intermission room, and many pictures of the parts of the Festival Hall we weren't shown for real. The Sound of Music did film in building, but in one of the two halls that were currently closed.
The tour also kind of dragged because it was another German+English tour. Saying things twice at Hellbrunn Palace gardens wasn't a problem because the blurbs were quick: "On your right is the Orpheus Grotto, there may be a few surprises inside...". For the Festival Hall, though, the guide would talk for several minutes before switching languages, which would leave the half of the group that didn't understand to wander aimlessly, both physically and mentally.
Continuing on down the road, I made my next stop at the Toy Museum. It was much more like an actual museum than the one in Kecskem�t, with pieces arranged for display and captions like: "Painted figures from 1832 with original packaging". The toy museum at Kecskem�t had more of a playful, folk art feel, while the Salzburg museum felt cold and business-like. However, the Salzburg museum did have several stations setup for children to play various games, mainly dress-up, so a French-speaking family visiting the museum at the same time as me was easily keeping their little girls entertained.
Included in the same building, and I think same ticket, as the Toy Museum was an exhibit of musical instruments. For some reason, Austrian museums keep translating the adjective to describe their musical instrument displays into "ancient" when it should probably have been "historical". At any rate, I just skimmed this particular exhibit. It was of course not possible to give the museum a fair assessment when I had just seen the collection in Vienna. There was no audio guide, but it did have a box on the wall where you could select from a few languages to hear a description of some of the instruments as well as how they sounded.
With the weather still mostly clear, I decided to give Untersberg a try. The bus ride out to the mountain took longer than I expected, almost a full half-hour. By the time I got there, the clouds had begun to reform. On top of that, the cable car was at the very bottom of the mountain, so going up to the top would have taken a 45 minutes round trip (including about 15 minutes at the top). With the bad weather creeping in, little chance to beat it to the top and the possibility of missing the last bus back to town, I decided to skip the mountain and just return to Salzburg.
I made it back around 5:30pm, so most of the museums were closed, but my Salzburg Card did cover a visit to the Stiegl Brewery World. It included admission to a museum, a "hands-on" brewery tour, and something called an "adventure brewery". I wasn't a drinker, but I also didn't eat salami and I still went to the Szeged Salami and Paprika Museum, plus the brewery was free (with Salzburg Card) and open.
By the time I made it back to Salzburg, it was pouring rain. Walking to the stop for the brewery bus, I discovered my umbrella had numerous small holes in it. I hadn't noticed before, but this rain was heavy enough to drip through them. In addition to switching buses, the brewery museum was also a little outside of the old town and a few blocks from the city bus stop. There wasn't a map to it's location but I did have the address on my Salzburg Card brochure so I was able to find it. The rain had slackened some by the time I made it to the front door, although a bit of thunder had begun.
The brewery museum was fine as such things go, with a little about beer making, a little about beer history, a little about the company history, etc. It turned out "adventure brewery" just meant micro-brewery, so there was no adventure involved. I also never saw anything I would describe as a "hands-on tour", although I suppose there were parts of the brewing exhibit you could have touched if you wanted to.
The most creative part of the museum was a station where you could select from about 20 countries around the world and hear someone ordering beer in that language. The other exhibit I liked was a discussion of how beer quality declined during WWII. The high-quality Stiegl beer was made with 12degrees of wort. After 1939, the degree declined as the government limited the amount of grain available for brewing in order to save the rest for bread and livestock feed. At the low point, it was down to 2.7degrees. In the first year after the war, full 12degree beer could be made at the brewery again, but only for US troops, who had brought all of the ingredients over from the US. There was a picture of the brewery from that time that had a sign, in English, "No US soldiers allowed except on official business." I guess some of them must have tried to sneak an extra bottle or two.
So, it wasn't the finest day of my trip, but maybe that was for the best so I would be a little less bummed-out about things coming to an end. On the way to my hotel, the rain had stopped and I paused on one of the pedestrian bridges over the Salzach River to stop and look back at the old town. There was a musician playing nearby and it was a nice end to the day.

Forget Jason Bourne….meet Aaron Cross. Universal has the tricky task of enticing viewers to be 'Bourne' again (ha ha) with a new installment in the franchise that links to the past mostly in name, and has a new face in Jeremy Renner leading the charge. And while the teaser trailer did a good job of keeping things mysterious while promising to deliver on action, the new full-length trailer, which just premiered at Apple, puts Renner front and center and gives a more complete picture of the world we're going to be stepping into.
As was noted before and is heard again here, Aaron Cross is "Treadstone without the inconsistency." He's part of Outcome, another program designed to build ruthless assassins, and it looks like instead of one agent gone rogue like Jason Bourne, the whole thing is coming undone. David Strathairn is back trying to manage the damage control, and while it seems the decision has been made to put down many of the agents of the field, there is something about Aaron Cross that makes him less expendable, but still a major threat.
Rachel Weisz emerges as the co-lead here, running alongside Cross as he fights to stay alive, and she seems a bit in the dark about just what the nature of Outcome is. We also get our first look at fellow agent Oscar Isaac, whose loyalties are uncertain. Still kept somewhat under wraps is Edward Norton as the villain, but it's kind of refreshing not to have the whole game given away. Nicely woven in are nods to Jason Bourne — his name etched in some wood, his face on a computer screen — and as writer/director Tony Gilroy told us recently, the events of "The Bourne Ultimatum" figure in the background in the opening ten-to-fifteen minutes of "The Bourne Legacy." But an interesting and exciting concept emerges here: the 'Legacy' is much more than just a simple sequel — it appears to be running in a parallel overlap from the events of 'Ultimatum.' Pretty damn clever.
The action looks brisk and exciting, and Renner seems solid in the lead. All in all, "The Bourne Legacy" looks very promising and we'll see the results when it opens on August 3rd. Watch below, or check out in HD over at Apple.

Chaska Quilter and I met on the Board, and we live about 5 miles apart. We met at a Senior Center, had coffee and talked for about an hour. We exchanged Names and phone numbers and have been friends ever since. We have been to a meet and greet, and a quilt show together and periodically have lunch and "show and tell" It was fun meeting someone older and just relax and talk and also share questions and answers about our mutual hobby.
I would love to meet some other quilters/embroidery. I'm on my own here and go to classes by myself and figure things out on my own, etc. My daughter is doing a little but it would be nice meeting others. If I ever make it back home WV, I'm supposed to get in touch with someone on here but it'll be after winter when I go up and couldn't make it this yr. I can understand how some are skiddish about meeting others they don't know. You don't know if what they are saying is true or not. My sister has went thru that twice. The first turned out to be a person in a "gang, group" from overseas posing as US military men, thankfully she figured it out in the beginning and didn't send him any money and then she just met a guy from MA and also had a bad experience; he wasn't who he said he was as far as personality. I don't think I have the nerve to meet someone from an online dating like alot that I know do. But another quilter, I'd be ready.
When we travel I usually arrange through the message board to met a quilter that lives near where we will be staying. My DH always accompanies me to where we meet, no home visits or dark and empty streets, just a bright and lively quilt shop. It's nice to put a face to someone you've 'talked to' on the message board.
I noticed that the assumptions have been that it's someone from the QB ... perhaps not!
Not that, that makes a big difference in the meet-up reasons pro and con.
Safety is always an issue. Privacy needs to be respected.
The other person has given you her reasons and that needs to be appreciated and respected.
Perhaps with time, she may change her mind. Perhaps not.
I have met a few QB members ... though only after getting to know them somewhat here.
I probably would not have agreed to meet them, if they'd only posted 14 times (as is your case).
Yes indeed, I would be hesitant to meet up.
Another thing ... I hesitate to say it ... though it could be a factor ... your screen name of MissusFear, may be cause for reluctance to meet.
I'd be okay with it, if it happened by accident. I would join the guild if I wanted to be around other quilters.
This may have been legit as well as all responses on here; but this is the Internet. People join different groups all the time (remember Craigslist in the news?) with the intent of not joining for the reasons and basis of the groups, but as stalkers and whatnot. I would want firm solid proof I was meeting who I was. You just never know. I would not meet anyone unless I could do a background check. There are ways of doing this. Just saying....
Sad so many have had bad experiences. Not how the world should be, should it?
I don't understand the reference to posting 14 times QuiltE. You can say it, haha, get that all the time. My last name is Fear. I met another QB member, we met at the park. We had a lot of fun. Not a big deal. I respect the other person's privacy. Just had seen that she had met with other QB members and thought it might be fun. Was just looking for perspective. Clearly you perceive me as a threat for only posting 14 times and my last name is Fear. Please check again. That is my blog entry count.
I ran into the nightmare from Hell on this board. I mentioned that I was interested in going to the quilt show in Lancater. I should've picked up the signals in the PM's.. but I'm a bit trusting.. Anyway, I drove, and she really had mental issues. I figured that we had a bit in common, as she is a nurse, and I am in family practice.. She was retired, and as we were driving, I kept thinking how was she able to get through nursing school.. Life goes on.. I am planning on getting together with two members for a trip to a fabric store, and lunch.. I can't wait.. I also went to the house of another member a couple of times, and could've sat, and talked with her, and her husband for hours. They are the most wonderful people. I look forward to taking them out to eat, and hang out with them.. I owe them.. She advertised that she had old quilting magazines that she was throwing out..

There's waste and confusion among the six trade- and business-focused agencies that the White House wants to consolidate. That's the conclusion of four panelists who debated the merits of the proposed merger at the American Enterprise Institute, a free-market Washington think tank.
The experts disagreed, however, on the best solution.
Their conversation may foreshadow the one lawmakers are likely to have as they consider a bill that would give President Barack Obama the authority to consolidate agencies. Combining the Commerce Department, the U.S. Trade Representative and four other agencies into a single department that could foster economic growth and job creation would be the President's first use of the authority, Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Jeff Zients said in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Online Chat: DJ Kachman, the Veterans Affairs Department's director of mobile and security technology transformation lead, on April 10, at 1 p.m.
'Fragmented' system for business
There's good reason to focus on these agencies.
When it comes to government services for businesses, particularly with regard to trade, the United States has the most fragmented system in the world, said Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Jitinder Kohli.
"It's hard to think of another industrialized nation with so many fingers in the pie trying to make their country successful for the long term," he said.
He painted a picture of each agency pointing to another one, claiming that they are responsible for the country's economic policy as a whole. But in reality, he said, even the National Economic Council inside the White House is too busy "putting out fires" to set a long-term economic agenda.
"There's certainly duplication among some of the activities of these different agencies, particularly on trade promotion rather than trade liberalization," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Vice President of International Affairs John Murphy.
That's an important distinction to chamber members. The Obama administration is more focused on enforcing current trade laws and promoting exports than negotiating new trade agreements, he said.
"When the administration comes along and says we'd like to move USTR and subsume it under these trade-promotion functions, that means that the trade-liberalizing function — which the business community regards as very important and we have a lot of priorities that we'd like to talk about — is not going to be well served," he said.
Thorny issue in election year
The chamber wrote a letter to Obama last month detailing its concerns about moving USTR into a larger department. But Murphy said his members had not been spending a lot of resources on lobbying lawmakers because they did not believe it was necessary.
Lawmakers are reluctant to deal with such a thorny issue as the agency reorganization during an election year.
Trade attorney Gary Horlick predicted that agricultural interests with the ear of Congress would stop any merger from happening.
"The agriculture community has a close connection to USTR," he said. "The idea of moving it to the Commerce Department, which, historically, doesn't care about agriculture and tramples on it, strikes me as unlikely."
Rethinking interagency process
And some would say it isn't necessary anyway.
"It's not reorganization that's needed, but a rethink of the interagency process," Murphy said. The chamber would like to see the small USTR beefed up with more resources and detailees from other agencies.
That may seem like a more palatable solution than uprooting and merging six agencies, but Kohli countered that it's not a practical one.
"It's easy to argue for small amounts of additional money in every corner of government," he said. "It's very hard to make big decisions on how you actually make government work better for the long term."
During Gordon Brown's tenure as prime minister in Great Britain, Kohli oversaw a small but powerful regulatory agency that became part of a bigger agency focused on competitiveness. During the transition period, he dealt with issues of morale and productivity among his 100-or-so employees, he said. But by the end of the transition, they had more might as part of a larger agency.
"Having someone responsible for competitiveness — a person who could bang their hands on the Cabinet table and say, 'This is really important to us and this is the right way to make policy' — mattered," he said, adding that the agency's productivity rose after the merger.

Maybe someone else can help you with the crank/chainring question as I'm unsure about that issue.
But 11 speed will work on any road/tri bike. There is nothing special required about the frame other than it has a derailleur hanger in the back (fixie/single speed frames won't work) and either an area for a clamp on or braze on front derailleur. These things are not specific to 11 speed...they are specific to road/tri bikes. Campy has been 11 speed for a long time and people have no problem swapping between 8/9/10 speed Shimano/SRAM and Campy on the same frame.
What you do need to be concerned about for 11 speed (or if you wanted to move to Campy) is your rear wheel. Certain free hub bodies can/can't accomodate an 11 speed cassette. You can check with your wheel manufacturer on those specifics.

Well, CDG averaged 44 (125 SR) in the Ford Trophy last season, 70 in PS, the pie loves that ****. Broom had a very poor PS and FT.
Printable View
As I've said before, I have found de Grandhomme's entire career in New Zealand to be rather odd. I was a very keen follower of Zimbabwean cricket around the time of Colin's move and the perception of him as a youth cricketer was that of a genuine, classy top-4 batsman. He opened more often than not and very good things were said about his technique and application. He did very little bowling at this point although I was aware that he bowled "a little bit of medium pace" and yet when he turned up in the Auckland side at first he was there for his bowling as much as his batting. That's what I first found surprising, but even now that he's become known more as a batsman-who-bowls-sometimes, he's an Afridi-style lower middle order basher. He doesn't even bat in the top four at club level very often does he?
Do you know if he made a conscious decision to change his game at some point or was I just given bad info about what sort of player he was from the start?
Ah ok, didn't see those. Did see Ellis's runout - how poor was that?!
That innings was almost Van-Wyk-like :ph34r:. If De Boorder does stack up the runs this season he could make a decent case to be next in line ahead of Watling.
Boult and Wagner pretty unlucky not to have a wicket so far. Will be interested to see what McClenaghan looks like in comparison to those two.
edit: Hrmm first ball five wides
McClenaghan looks a definite rung or three below Boult and Wagner. Wonder if he could gain a bit more pace through the crease... may be restricted by previous injuries.
Boult :wub: Just bowled a testing delivery to one of the India lefties (Menaria) who had absolutely no idea and edged to slip.
Pace wise, how was Mitch? He always goes for runs but seems to get wickets. Looks like we have a chance here, the 5 bowler is the thing I'm worried about. CDC mixed with Worker I guess, will be interesting when they are brought on. Cant afford to drop the pressure or they will get a partnership underway.
Wow, Ellis just bowled one that absolutely took off. Wicket has mostly been fairly true from what I've seen, though with some decent seam movement. Still laughing at the shot from Menaria to Boult - the shot of many a young subcontinent batsmen on first trip to NZ, who has been spooked by the bounce and seam movement.
Haha run out at non-striker's end!
I saw him from ball one in NZ and he was never a top four option - apart from club cricket, obviously. He's always been very decent technically but application as we all know is where it falls over sometimes. He came to Howick for one season in 2004-05, didn't say boo to a goose, scored not a lot of runs and took not many wickets and we all thought we'd seen the last of him. He came back, boomed a ridiculous 100 in a one-day club final and went on from there. His bowling was a conscious work-on from about 2008, and he improved quite a lot - took 20-30 wickets in a four-day season from memory - but got tendonitis in a knee and had to reel it in.
I dunno if you got bad info, he could well have been in Zimbabwe. He's definitely top four at club level, opens in limited overs and four in two-dayers when available. He's too good for that level by a long way. His bowling is also good at that level, bowls away shape and a slightly heavy ball which worked well at FC level until he was injured.
Unfortunately today was another typical Colin innings. 14 off 12, four off his first ball, almost played on with his second, then plays a horrific shot to hole out off a leggie on a green one. They picked him for NZ as they backed themselves to get the best out of him but it hasn't happened yet.
That's no surprise - Mitch hasn't bowled in a match since March. He's supremely fit and carrying no injuries but is slightly rusty, and a bit bulkier (muscle wise, there's not an ounce of fat on him) than end of last season. 3-42 is a pretty damn first hitout for him, even if it was on a green one and luck went his way a bit. I was going to say he'll get quicker as the series goes on but he's off to South Africa with the Aces come next week.
And Blain, I take it the last C in CDC stands for cricketer...!
I didn't see the Ellis runout, what happened? Derek did used to be a run-out merchant from what I remember...sneaky lil bastard.
Haha...that innings had more class than Kruger could ever hope to have. Great use of the crease, perfectly timed innings until he unfortunately nicked one.
Ellis pushed the ball straight to cover, de Boorder came screaming down the wicket looking for a quick single, Ellis didn't move until de Boorder was halfway down, and barely made it halfway before being run out. It's difficult to know for sure whose fault it was without sound. But it was Ellis' call to make, he was clearly hesitant and there was never really a run in it, so I'm gonna say Ellis had the right to feel aggrieved.

NCAA rules changes are prompting Big 33 officials to play the summertime all-star high school football game earlier in future years.
This year s Ohio-vs.-Pennsylvania game in Hershey, Pa., is set for July 23, but next year s game is tentatively scheduled for June 17.
Big 33 executive director Mickey Minnich said college coaches told him they will try to get as many incoming freshman as possible into summer school to give them a jump on their academics. That could mean a diluted talent pool for the Big 33 game.
We don t have much of a choice if we want to get the best players in the state, Minnich said. I know we could be running into some [high school] graduations with that date, but we ve pretty much got to have it then because most summer sessions at colleges start that following week.

Story highlights
- 35 are dead and 15 are missing in the deadly derailment
- At the site, a worker blacked out and three firefighters were injured
- A couple of buildings near the site were unstable and had to be demolished
- There are dozens of train cars still at the scene
Two more bodies have been found at the site of last week's devastating train derailment in the Canadian town of Lac-Megantic, authorities said.
The death toll now stands at 35, with 15 people missing, Quebec provincial police Lt. Michel Brunet told reporters on Sunday.
The accident left Lac-Megantic reeling and facing a big job of rebuilding. It also shocked and outraged the rest of the country and prompted a national discussion on rail safety.
The 73-car train had been parked in the neighboring town of Nantes for the night and its engineer had gone to a hotel.
The train got loose and slammed into the center of the town on Saturday, July 6. Tank cars full of oil exploded and burned in the heart of Lac-Megantic's commercial district.
Along with the deaths, around 40 buildings were leveled and other nearby structures were affected.
Crews demolished a couple of unstable buildings, a move that aided their search for more remains, Brunet said. He said explosives were not used in the demolition. There's a possibility that bodies could be found at those locations.
"The crews are doing everything they can to find the bodies," Brunet said.
Three firefighters received minor injuries, Brunet said Sunday, and they were treated at the scene. One worker pumping liquid from a tank car blacked out and was taken to a hospital.
He said hot temperatures were brutal and slowed down workers, but they were regularly relieved in shift rotations. About 60 cars are on their sides at the scene.
The strewn train cars haven't been moved yet, but that job will be done gradually in the coming days.
"There are still 60 cars that are on their side. They have to be moved one by one," he said. "We don't know what we're going to find in those cars."

Nearly 30 years ago, the California Court of Appeal announced its landmark decision in San Diego Federal Credit Union v. Cumis Insurance Society, Inc., 162 Cal. App. 3d 358 (1984), holding that if a conflict of interest exists between an insurer and its insured arising out of possible noncoverage under the insurer's policy, the insurer is obligated to offer independent counsel to the insured, which is to be paid for by the insurer. Shortly after the issuance of the Cumis case, the California Legislature passed Civil Code section 2860 to codify and clarify the rights and responsibilities of insureds and insurers when a claim of conflict of interest is asserted.
Since that time, a number of decisions have weighed in on the scope of the right to Cumis counsel and the meaning of section 2860, and the most recent decision is Federal Insurance Company v. MBL, Inc., decided August 26, 2013. Significantly, MBL confirms that not every reservation of rights entitles an insured to independent counsel.
Following the filing of an environmental remediation action against a dry cleaner for PCE contamination of soil and groundwater, the dry cleaner filed a third-party action against MBL, a supplier of dry cleaning products. MBL retained defense counsel, who tendered MBL's defense to multiple insurers and requested that the insurers provide MBL with Cumis counsel.
While all of the insurers accepted the defense subject to various reservations of rights, only one, Great American Insurance Company, agreed to the retention of Cumis counsel. The rest of the insurers contended that their reservation of rights did not create a conflict of interest that required the appointment of independent Cumis counsel.
In June 2008, all of the insurers except Great American filed an action for declaratory relief against MBL, seeking a declaration that they were not obligated to provide independent counsel based on their various reservations of rights, which they contended did not create any conflict of interest between them and MBL. Shortly thereafter, Great American filed a separate action against MBL for declaratory relief also seeking to establish that it did not need to provide Cumis counsel, and it further filed a claim for contribution against the other insurers seeking to have them share in the cost of such counsel. The actions were later consolidated.
The trial court granted summary judgment to the insurers, finding there was no actual conflict of interest and thus no right to Cumis counsel. The Court of Appeal affirmed.
After detailing the development of the of the right to independent/Cumis counsel under California law, the Court of Appeal emphasized that
not every conflict of interest entitles an insured to insurer-paid independent counsel. Nor does every reservation of rights entitle[] an insured to select Cumis counsel.
For example, the court advised that where the coverage issue is independent of, or extrinsic to, the issues in the underlying case, or where the damages are only partially covered by the policy, there is no right to Cumis counsel. Rather, it is only when there is a reservation of rights and the outcome of that coverage issue can be controlled by the defense counsel retained by the insurer is independent counsel required to be appointed.
MBL contended that there were conflicts of interest because the insurers reserved their rights as to the applicability of various pollution exclusions, the policy limits for each accident or occurrence, and that there was no coverage for any damages outside of the insurers' policy periods. In the context of this case, however, the court found that none of these reservations created a conflict of interest triggering the right to Cumis counsel under section 2860. The court also found no conflict on interest merely because some of the insurers were defending other insureds that had interests adverse to MBL.
MBL further argued that the insurers' "general reservation of rights" provided the basis for a conflict of interest. To this, the Court of Appeal concluded,
To the extent MBL contends the Insurers' general reservations of rights gave rise to a conflict of interest, we reject that argument. General reservations are just that: general reservations. At most, they create a theoretical, potential conflict of interest – nothing more.
Finally, as to Great American, which had paid MBL's independent counsel, subject to a reservation of the right to seek reimbursement from MBL, the court concluded that since Great American was not obligated to pay those fees in the first place, it could only seek reimbursement from MBL itself, and not from the other insurers who had no obligation to provide Cumis counsel to MBL.

Bangkok part 2
... didn't have a clue that the others were around….. Such a surprise!
This obviously called for a night out and bowling it was!....mega bowl has
nothing on Bangkok though…..more of a nightclub with extra lanes!
Thailand is very religious and we had to visit a temple
(there are so many) in the temple we saw lots of different Buddha's and saw the
biggest reclining Buddha in the world. A huge 45 meters ...
The beginning

In fact, another tuk-tuk driver told us the same thing moments later and offered the same tour. I was reluctant and suggested we come back later and in the meantime we check out the nearby popular temple, Wat Pho.

Potentially Dangerous "Kissing Bugs" Expanding from Texas to Oklahoma
(KFOR) Experts say with a changing climate, Oklahoma could be hearing a lot more about the kissing bug. They used to be limited to South America and then Mexico but now, they've arrived in Texas.
Amanda Franson had never heard or seen of the Kissing bug, also known as the Assassin bug. When I showed her son Austin a picture, he knew exactly what it was.
"I have this bug book about true bugs," said Austin Green. "It said something about assassin bugs that kind of look like those but their skinnier."
Austin knows that over time the bug can kill you, and University of Oklahoma professor Ken Hobson says we need to know more about it also.
"We really don't have very much information on all of the locations that they're in," says Hobson. "This is a developing area of concern where we really need more information."
The kissing bug attacks at night, biting the mouth and eye area.
"As we sleep at night we're warm and it's just an easy place to get a meal," says Hobson. "Then when we wake up in the morning it's like what was that, and you've got a little wound there."

Good Morning Boutique Divas!!
It is wet and raining in my part of Missouri this morning. We missed the damaging storms, but had a lot of heavy rain. Better than snow in April, right??
I just finished my second and final cup of coffee this morning. What about you? Do you have a busy day? I have a hair appointment this morning. I always look forward to that!
The new products will be here tomorrow, but I didn't want us to miss our Thursday chatting! (because really...I was afraid you might think I forgot...like my age was catching up with me )
We do have a new club this week! It's a beautiful one from Elisha!

Written by Gregg Brekke
Tom Petty is right: the waiting is the hardest part.
The rock star theologian's wisdom is especially relevant to me in this Advent season. Like many pastors, I am what is known as "bi-vocational." I serve a congregation that is too small to pay me a full time salary so I have another job on the side to pay the bills. At the end of the year, however, that job will end.
For the past few months I have been seeking a new job. Yet as anyone who has spent their days sending out resumes in this economic climate can attest, there are few jobs to be had. Often, it feels like you're sending your resume into a black hole - never to be seen or heard from again. In heartier years I would have had numerous interviews by now and perhaps even a job offer or two. But with so many people competing for so few jobs I'm lucky to even get my application acknowledged, much less called for an interview.
So, I wait - joining the millions of others who are hoping that one day their savior - in the form of a job - will come. Some have certainly been waiting longer than me, those so-called "99ers" who have exhausted their 99 weeks of unemployment insurance. Still others are now facing the holidays without those extra few dollars since Congress failed to extend unemployment benefits.
I certainly hope that my own wait for a job will not take that long, but I have no way of knowing how the future will unfold. Like a kid at Christmas, though, I'm antsy to see what God has in store, hoping it is what I've been hoping and praying for, and if not, that I can be gracious in receiving whatever the gift turns out to be.
While I am trying to be patient in this time of waiting, I'm not enjoying myself. We humans are not good waiters. We hate waiting and have created a "want it now, get it now" culture of instant gratification. After all, the prosperity preachers tell us if we believe rightly and do the right things, God will bless us with a lot of stuff, right now. Such teachings lead us to believe that God has abandoned us in those times when we find ourselves down to our last dollar and waiting for an opportunity to get back to work.
In these times, we tend to cry out, "How long, O Lord?" How long must we wait for our lives to get back to normal? How long must we wait for that badly needed job? Perhaps it's not the best time to point out that those who waited on God in the Bible tended to wait a very long time.
As David Timms, in his book Sacred Waiting points out, Noah waited 600 years before God established the rainbow covenant with him after the flood. It was 100 years before Abraham was granted his promised son, and Moses waited forty years in the desert before being sent to deliver his people from Egypt. Even David, God's chosen one, waited a decade for his throne. I suppose I should be happy if it takes me a year or two to find a job.
While those Biblical examples may provide cold comfort to anyone trying to feed their family in these tough times, it does affirm the advice of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who told us to "trust in the slow work of God." Everyone who has waited on God has been blessed in one way or another, and usually not in ways they had planned.
This, I believe is the blessing of waiting - it forces us to rely on God and nothing else, not our own thoughts, plans, or ideas. Instead, we must transform our waiting from a time of frustration to a time of complete trust in the Holy.
Theologian Henri Nouwen wrote: "For many people, waiting is an awful desert between where they are and where they want to go." What waiting teaches us, however, is how to be at home in the desert, how to embrace this time of dryness and uncertainty and instead of being impatient for its end, sink deeper into the sweet mystery of right now.
This is where I find myself at the moment - in the desert struggling between overwhelming worry and total surrender to God's will. Perhaps, for the first time in my life, I deeply understand the importance of Advent, and what it truly means to yearn for a savior.
"Come, Emmanuel."

Have you ever heard the saying, "Your lack of planning does not create an emergency for me?" I love that saying and wish life really worked that way. But it doesn't. The fact is that other people's lack of planning creates emergencies for me all the time (and honestly, sometimes it's me creating the emergencies!). But if I refuse to help because they weren't organized, I feel (and look) like a jerk.
So what do you do when you're dealing with people who are chronically unorganized and keep creating emergencies for you? Sometimes these strategies can help:
- Anticipate. Sometimes you can see the situation coming. Because of past experience, you know what's going to happen. In that case, you prepare yourself mentally to deal with the emergency because now you know it is coming.
- Plan Ahead. This takes anticipating a step further. You anticipate the emergency and you come up with a solution beforehand so it's not an emergency for you.
- Remind. This one doesn't always work but it's worth a try. If you know something's coming up, remind the person involved in case they are willing to go ahead and act on it in a timely manner. I've used this strategy a lot in the past. Some people appreciate it and some don't. I worked with a music minister who did not appreciate it. He was a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants person and any reminders felt like nagging and pushing. I learned to back off and let the chips fall where they may. It was very frustrating for me and I didn't end up working with him much longer.
- Do it yourself. If you know what's going to be needed, sometimes you can take care of it yourself. Again, some people appreciate that and some don't. My boss at the law office where I worked loved it. He'd come in at the last minute, tell me what he needed, and I already had it ready. But he was unusual in that he was a great delegator.
- Keep your routine tasks up to date so you can take the time to handle an emergency without creating a new emergency. That same boss at the law office tended to throw last minute things at me all the time – many that I didn't see coming. So my daily strategy was to get as much of my regular work done as soon as possible so that when he threw an emergency at me, at least my regular work was caught up so I could focus on the emergency.
The bottom line is that not everyone is organized and that's just the way it is. Rather than fight it, it's best to just accept it and do what you can to deal with it. As Julie Morgenstern says: "You can't always control what life throws at you but you can control your response."

It's Emmy season! Ballots for the initial round of voting are due June 21st. Every single show is theoretically eligible for nomination. Even 'Hank.' Nobody has a chance to watch everything during the season. So how are Television Academy members supposed to make up their minds? That's where the Emmy promotional campaigns come in. In pursuit of little more than bragging rights, networks and studios will go all out to secure nominations for their shows. There are full page glossy advertisements in industry publications. But the heart of the Emmy marketing campaign is screeners — DVDs of selected episodes of virtually every television series. The networks pull out all the stops, with artistic packaging that makes even the most mediocre shows look awesome. The screeners are a snapshot into the minds of the networks. A show that it gets its own screener package is considered to be a contender. One that is only available as a download on the official Academy website does not stand a prayer. Sorry 'Amish Grace.' The screeners also reveal which episodes networks and studios think are the season's best, and which networks know how to mount an awards campaign. Check out our guide to Emmy schwag.
Network/Studio/Show: HBO
Package Design: Book style box containing separate volumes for series and movies. Supplemental screener for 'The Pacific.' Even more screeners of more recent HBO movies were sent out in a second package.
Screeners: Two pages of blurbs from positive reviews of each series followed by DVDs featuring multiple episodes of each series.
Overall Impression: This package exudes class. Watching these screeners will be a meaningful, intellectually rewarding way to spend your time, like reading Proust.
Other Observations: HBO has high hopes for the Seinfeld-flavored 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' There are six episodes on its screener, but only two or three of every other show. Not coincidentally, Curb is the only slam dunk nomination for HBO this year. The network no longer has the buzz that it did in the 'Sopranos'/'Sex & The City' era. Comcast HBO Subscribers: watch all of 'The Pacific' here.
Network/Studio/Show: Showtime
Package Design: Bland flat booklet. Inside are two page spreads about each of Showtime's original series. The best tagline: 'Dexter': All the Mad Men You'll Ever Need. Oh, snap.
Screeners: Four DVDs, each featuring two episodes of three different series. Showtime's package also includes a code with a link to a site that has the full season of each of the shows. This means that Showtime has essentially given all of the TV Academy members a free year of Showtime.
Overall Impression: Showtime went with substance over style. The packaging is dull, but the links to the full seasons of all of their series allows people to actually make informed votes. Some of the episodes had yet to air at the time the package was sent out, so the network is willing to let their shows get spoiled in pursuit of awards. There is a definite hierarchy of shows. Serious Best Drama Series contender 'Dexter' is the first show in the booklet. The obscure 'Lock N Load' closes it out.
Other Observations: By encouraging people to watch additional episodes online, Showtime is catering to the younger, internet savvy Academy members. That makes sense. How many 80 year old retirees will enjoy 'Weeds' anyway?
Network/Studio/Show: AMC
Package Design: Two shiny gold booklets held together by an AMC "consider this" rubber band. One booklet is all copy. The cover reads "story matters here." The other contains DVDs. Ultra glossy presentation, with 16 pages of critics quotes and gorgeous photos of' 'Mad Men.' There are even costume sketches and a close-up photo of Don Draper's contract with Sterling Cooper, as AMC angles for costume design and production design awards. 'Breaking Bad' gets another 16 pages. The lackluster remake of 'The Prisoner' gets 12.
Screeners: Six episodes each of 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad.' Interestingly, 'Breaking Bad' has the first six episodes of the current season, while Mad Men's is a best of season three. 'The Prisoner' gets three episodes.
Overall Impression: Your day is over, premium cable. AMC is the new home of classy smart television that you and all your other media industry friends watch. Pay no attention to 'The Prisoner.'
Other Observations: The photos of the cast of 'Mad Men' are so beautiful that they could be framed. Now that Bryan Cranston's gotten two Emmys, isn't it time for pretty, pretty Jon Hamm to get his?
Network/Studio/Show: FX
Package Design: Bare bones packet containing three DVDs.
Screeners: Split amongst three DVDs are screeners of single episodes of 'nip/tuck,' 'Rescue Me,' 'Sons of Ararchy,' 'Justified,' 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' 'The League,' and 'Archer.'
Overall Impression: Even though it has some good programming, FX cannot be bothered to mount a real Emmy campaign. Sorry, 'Justified.'
Other Observations: If they are only sending out a single episode, networks almost always send out episodes written by the series creator. But SoA's episode, Balm, was written by Dave Erickson & Stevie Long, not creator Kurt Sutter. In the random trivia department, Fred 'The Wonder Years' Savage directed the 'It's Always Sunny' episode.
Network/Studio/Show: NBC/Universal
Package Design: A stack of DVDs against a rainbow of backgrounds that unfurl to form the NBC peacock. This is arguably the most creative thing NBC has done all season.
Screeners: Separate DVDs for every single Universal studios show, including duds like 'Trauma' and 'Mercy.' Comedies get two episodes, dramas just one. It's NBC's entire line-up, plus, incongruously, the Universal produced 'House,' which airs on Fox.
Overall Impression: More colorful! We are not including any blurbs with the DVDs because we are as mortified by last season as you are! Suck it Conan! We sent out an episode of 'Jay Leno's Tonight Show,' but not yours, even though your final week had a great shot at winning an Emmy.
Other Observations: Universal seems to have used a helpful color coding system to denote quality. All of its likely Emmy contender shows ('30 Rock,' 'The Office,' 'Parks and Recreation,' 'Community,' and 'House') are up front in green. The quality long shots ('Friday Night Lights,' 'Parenthood') are in blue. Skip the rest.
Network/Studio/Show: TNT
Package Design: A long, white rectangular hardcover booklet. Each TNT show gets two pages. Shows are listed in alphabetical order. This means that the strongest Best Drama Series Emmy contender, 'Men of a Certain Age,' is buried in the middle of the booklet.
Screeners: Two DVDs which feature single episodes of all TNT's dramas. There are a couple more episodes of each available on the Emmys website.
Overall Impression: TNT knows drama. It does not know how to put together an interesting Emmy campaign.
Subtle Messages: There are none. This is dull, dull, dull.
Network/Studio/Show: 'Glee'
Package Design: A DVD cover asks "When was the last time a show made you sing?" It opens to reveal head shots of all of 'Glee's main characters, most of whom appear to be singing. Except for Quinn, Emma, Teri, and Puck, who are apparently too cool to be photographed with their mouths open. The back has a photo of a slushie with the tagline "now comes in super loser size."
Screeners: A DVD of the episodes "Pilot","Wheels" and "The Power of Madonna."
Overall Impression: Somebody put some thought into this package. Fox did a good job of picking strong episodes. The pilot seems like a sure bet to be nominated for Best Comedy Series and Writing.
Other Observations: Surprisingly, the cast is listed in alphabetical order, with no special mention of Jane Lynch and no recognition for Best Guest Star Contender Mike O'Malley. Watch the latest episodes of 'Glee' here.
Network/Studio/Show: 'Family Guy'
Package Design: A DVD cover featuring Peter dressed like Precious. The tagline "Family Guy: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire. Vote for us or you're racist." Inside, the joke continues: "Celebrating diversity: written by 8 WASPS, 6 Jews, 2 Asians and 1 Gay." There are no credits, so it is impossible to match the writers to their backgrounds.
Screeners: A DVD of three episodes.
Overall Impression: Whether or not someone finds this funny is a good litmus test of whether they will enjoy the show. It would have been a lot funnier six months ago.
Other Observations: The decision to go after Best Comedy instead of Animated Series, against the likes of 'Modern Family,' 'Glee,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' and 'Big Bang Theory' is misguided. Watch full episodes of 'Glee' here.
Network/Studio/Show: 'How I Met Your Mother'
Package Design: A big square with a photo of the cast in suits from the Girls vs. Suits episode. It opens to reveal a pop-up of Barney hanging on a lamp post.
Screeners: A DVD of three episodes affixed to a piece of black cardboard so it looks like an old fashioned record.
Overall Impression: This show is clever and fun. Pop the DVD in your computer right now.
Other Observations: The DVD was sent out by the studio behind the show, 20th Century Fox. There is not a single mention that the show airs on CBS. Watch the latest episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother' here.
Network/Studio/Show: 'Friday Night Lights'
Package Design: Two sided cardboard rectangle. The left side quotes the L.A. Times, "the best dramatic series in the history of television. That's right: history." The right side says, "See for yourself." It opens to reveal a thoughtful essay about the show along with an invitation to watch the enclosed DVDs of the entire current season. There is a glossy booklet filled with rave reviews from both critics and fans, and photos as well as a list of all the major awards the series has won.
Screeners: DVDs of the entire current season.
Overall Impression: What the hell is wrong with you, Academy? This is the best show on television and you have shown it no love. None. So we're going to shame you into doing the right thing.
Other Observations: This lavish package was sent out by the show's cable home, DirecTV. NBC/Universal just sent out a sad little DVD in its Peacock pack. DirecTV really seems to care about this show. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Watch the latest episodes of 'Friday Night Lights' here.

My IPad kicks my wifi connection out. This doesn't happen on my IPhone ever. Does anyone have this issue?
Two possible solutions. First, the easy one.... Try switching the iPad completely off and then on again - it's known to fix a whole load of unexplained problems and even Apple recommend you do this about once a week. Press and hold the Power button until the slider control appears, accept the offer to switch off, wait until the screen goes completely blank, then switch on again by pressing and holding the Power button until the white Apple logo appears. It then takes a few seconds for the iPad to power up and the orientation control is disabled during this time so don't worry. See if this fixes the problem. If it doesn't one of our other moderators has suggested this... ------------------ This has resolved many issues and worth a try. -* - Sometimes after you perform a upgrade from say iOS 3. to iOS 4.2 *the iPad or iPhone wifi or 3G speeds *may be slow.* - This is an easy fix which does work. Please do the following: -* 1. Go to Settings->General->Reset 2. Then select "Reset Network Settings" (this will not erase ur devices content, music, videos, email, etc. It will only erase any WiFi networks you have defined). 3. Once your device completes the action and gives you the normal home screen or Passcode screen, go ahead and power your device down and once you are sure the device is fully powered down wait an additional 60sec to allow internal components to fully discharge. 4. After the 60sec is up, power on your device again and re-add any encrypted WiFi networks you had defined. 5. Enjoy the "back to normal" WiFi and 3G speeds like you had prior to the OS upgrade.* -* __________________ Cheers Col col.bris, Brisbane Australia Forum Rules. Please Read. ------------------------------ Hope one of these works for you Tim
I don't know whether this is what you're experiencing, but my wifi just stops working occasionally. The symbol is still up in the corner, but no data is transferred. (other wifi devices on the network continue to work). I've found that turning the iPad's wifi off and back on restores the data flow. I've only had this happen on my home network.
If you keep on disconnecting from your wifi then there's something wrong with your wifi connection. I been using apple gadgets for the past years and never encountered wifi disconnection not unless there's something wrong with my wifi modem. Sent from my iPad
New guy here. New to iPad 2 as well. I'm running 4.3.3 as my operation system and I'm having the standard issue of the iPad losing wifi on my home network. I haven't ventured out of the house yet to see if it stays connected to other networks. It really seems like whenever it goes into standby mode the connection is lost. I've gone through the steps of powering down the iPad and also resetting all my network connections. I read a thread that apple wasn't too concerned about this because it wasn't a big problem. By reading the threads, I think it's a bigger problem than what they think. It would be nice if there was an easy fix. Anyone out there know of anything else I can do? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Jono Colorado
Mine does it away from home and has no set pattern. Sometimes it does it every few minutes, sometimes not all day, sometimes in the middle of a download/upload. Mine showed up when I updated to 4.3.1 and my wife's on 4.2 does not have the problem. When it happens the lights on my wifi router and modem flash for about 5-10 seconds like data is moving at home. I've tried all the solutions I've seen on this forum to no avail. When I go to settings the iPad shows it's connected to the network but the connecting icon above it is spinning like it's trying to connect to a network Support Our Troops! This post was Tapatalk approved
There are a fair few threads regarding iPad wifi drop out. The problem has to be backwards engineered if a solution is to be found. Which I don't know how to perfectly do. But I do have a theory..... I do know the only constant in all these complaints is the iPad. Ipad hardwares are the same for every single model. Even the various versions of the iOS don't differ in this respect. So the different item here, the 'spanner in the works', must be the wifi router of the user. this is the only item that changes from user to user and why there's issues. I've always had perfect wifi reception likely, but in work it can sometimes be dodgy at best. Same for all other fellow employees with their devices. We know this is a wifi router issues. Don't assume that your router is flawless just because it works on other devices. Or just because it's yours Apple can't cater perfectly for making a perfect wifi connection with every router. Each and every router follow standards, but there is no set 'must', so components in each manufacturer's routers differ, meaning Apple can only please most of the people most of the time with their divice's wifi equipment. You've either got the right router or you haven't. My last 'cheaper' router was great for my iPod touch, but iffy with my smart phone. I now have a new connection and router and all works perfect. Put my old router back in the mix and it's dodgy again. Try various router security configurations That's my theory anyway
Reading threads since coming on here, the trend has been the router, most of the time, I personally haven't had problems, maybe because it's a BT HOME HUB but I agree with you. from Somerset UK on my iPad using IPF app
