The pace of cloud based services adoption is steadily increasing for businesses, according to a recent report from GigaOM Research and North Bridge Venture Partners. In 2013, 75 percent of those surveyed said they are using some sort of cloud computing solutions, up from 67 percent last year. The report forecasted that the industry will hit nearly $159 billion by 2014, a 126.5 percent increase from 2011.
There were plenty of shifts in this year's report, according to the companies surveyed, including the fact that businesses are increasingly recognizing the advantages of innovation and agility as core competitive benefits of implementing cloud technology.
Results from the report show:
- 52 percent of respondents use applications that advance business priorities and 36 percent use them to advance IT priorities
- 68 percent of both business and IT respondents see better migration to the cloud bringing at least equal or better total cost of ownership versus legacy hardware and software
- Software-as-a-service is the most popular use of cloud computing, as 63 percent of organizations utilize this, but infrastructure-as-a-service is the fastest rising model from last year, currently at 45 percent up from 35 percent last year
- The top two drivers are agility at 54.5 percent and scalability at 54.3 percent
"Self-empowered consumers and businesses are taking the lead, and in many instances, regardless of IT," Michael Skok, general partner at North Bridge Venture Partners said. "But IT is investing heavily by both adapting internal infrastructure and adopting public infrastructure to respond on demand, while managing the inevitable issues of compliance and regulation through hybrid approaches. And to realize the promise of the cloud, there is a clear call for the industry as a whole to help reduce complexity, and provide better interoperability."
Adopting early pays off
Another recent report, this one by a cloud computing solutions provider, showed that those who adopt the technology early see better results more quickly. Twenty-six percent of survey respondents were heavy users of the cloud and started to see their advantages of the cloud come in greater numbers than those who had just started using the technology. For example, 30 percent of those just starting in the cloud said they were given faster access to IT infrastructure versus 87 percent of heavy users.

Spring gobbler hunters may have an easier time blending into the woodwork this season.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission repealed a 1993 law requiring spring gobbler hunters on the move to wear at least 100 square inches of visible fluorescent orange.
"This is something that has been discussed for a number of years," said commission spokesman Jerry Feaser.
According to the most recent commission statistics, shooting incidents during all hunting seasons have declined from about 200 in 1980 to 46 in 2006.
Feaser said orange requirements started during the late 1980s, and by 1993 included, deer, bear, all small game and turkey seasons.
Shooting incidents during fall and spring turkey seasons have dropped from 53 to 9 between 1991 and 2006. Eight of the shooting incidents during turkey seasons in that time span were fatal.

Adria Airways will wet-lease an Airbus A319 aircraft to Eurowings on a short-term basis. The jet will commence operations on behalf of the German low cost carrier from December 1 and will be utilised by the airline for the duration of the month. It will be based in Munich and deployed on European routes, as well as on flights to Agadir in Morocco. Earlier this year, Adria wet-leased its equipment to fellow Star Alliance members Austrian Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines. From January 1, 2018, the carrier will wet-lease one of its Bombardier CRJ700s to Luxembourg's Luxair. A wet-lease is a leasing arrangement whereby the lessor provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance and insurance to another airline. In an interview last month, Adria's CEO, Arno Schuster, said, "We are seeing strong demand for our wet-lease services. Carriers value our flexibility and reliability, and know that we offer a good service to them. We are not just some unknown airline, we are a recognised carrier within Star Alliance. The wet-lease business helps us exploit our fleet better throughout the year".

I guess he refers to the fact that JP more often than not successfully leases out Airbusses / A319 to other airlines wheras JU doesn't. Remember that JU also has an A319 on offer for leases, previously even 3 of them that they wanted to lease out.Delete

Online dating service no money sex dating in midland california
Otherwise, perhaps you can convince some lucky person to come visit your lookout tower? So be sensible and keep your Facebook, Twitter, and other social sites separate from your dating life!
Sh'reen Morrison had been on an online dating site for only a few weeks before she realized that something was seriously wrong with the man who had been actively pursuing her by text message and email.
The truth is, we have great single men and women in all sorts of places.
So unless you are living on a mountain fire lookout tower somewhere, you'll probably find some great people nearby that you can try to seduce into a coffee date. When it comes to your personal life, some things are best not immediately shared with friends and family.
Now children are worried about their parents being hoodwinked by the scam artists who haunt online dating sites."I am a bit past age 50 --- well educated lady; (I thought that I was so smart that it couldn't happen to me --- my college education is no match for a professional criminal)," said one of a seemingly endless stream of scam victims who hav...
You already know to be wary whenever you go online, so you don't fall prey to the various types of scammers, thieves, con artists, hackers, malware-writers and other threats that proliferate on the Internet.
Morrison's erstwhile Romeo claimed he needed her to "lend" him ,000 to deal with one of the many crises he had fabricated.
On Valentine's Day, some singles may be inspired to step up their dating game. Amy Giberson, now 34, was reluctant to try internet dating again but she decided to give it one more shot in 2014. There are a slew of sites and apps to help singles find love and, for the most part, they work, according to Consumer Reports.
And if you're looking for love in an online dating site you must be extra-careful, because looking for love already leaves you emotionally vulnerable, but you can't let that vulnerability bleed over into other realms as well. More than 90 percent of the potential dates on are canceled subscribers, people who never subscribed, duplicates, or phantoms the company created to snare its a month subscription fee, a class action claims in Federal Court.
knows this, yet still collects .99 a month from its Subscribers, all the while perpetuating a scheme to the detriment and d... It's both the most coveted and elusive emotion of all time.
Are you dreaming of dating in California or romance in New York?
Or perhaps love in Beautiful BC, that cute single in Alberta, or online dates in Ontario?

With the help of my friend I have discovered the whole submanifold of people, writing on the stuff I am currently interested. The topic being geodesic PCA (or PGA). I was going through all the references from our groups (Johns Hopkins, Utah, Paris etc groups) and digging. Then a friend forwarded me a paper, which uncovered the whole trove of papers that I haven't discovered yet. There is a lot of mutual linking in that new submanifold, but very few links cross over to the subset of papers I was reading initially. Hence the difficulty in finding.
Of course, a google scholar search of "PGA" would have revealed them eventually. And in retrospect one can say "aha! here is the reference! how did you miss it?" But I guess before the AI is invented one has to carefully parse through all possible links on the topic. We are lucky to have google. It is difficult to imagine how one would search for an article before all the digitization.

Ran 5 miles before the sun rose on Saturday. Watched the sky turn pale opalescent shades of fuchsia, violet and navy. Then a soft glow of pink, like God doing a magic trick. "Look! I do this every morning, and each one is different!" What a show off.
I've been pondering the finite nature of our lives. Time is the most precious commodity we have. I don't know how much I truly have. I spend some every day, not knowing if this is the last day I'll have on this planet.
It hit me hard yesterday. The kids are growing up. Zac has one more year with us, then he's off to college. He towers over me and grows more manly by the day.
Ruby's not a tiny girl anymore. We got pedicures together on Saturday, her first ever.
"She's a pretty girl," the nail tech said. She proceeded to paint tiny flowers on Ruby's big toes, complete with a teensy gem in the center of each.
Ruby didn't know what to do with the compliment, in part because of the tech's accent. She's at the very beginning of having her own identity outside of Zac's little sister and one of our family. But Ruby doesn't think of herself primarily as pretty. She's an artist, an animal lover and funny girl who makes up her own songs and graphic stories.
She's always been pretty. She was a cherubic baby and a tiny, strong, cheeky little mite. No awkward adolescence looms in her future, as far as I can see. No prolonged geeky stage, with frizzy hair, hillbilly teeth and chunky glasses like me. No gawky, lanky limbs, refusing to stay covered by sleeves or pants like others I know who actually achieved height. Other than some unfortunate self-imposed haircuts, she's dodged the bullet of physical weirdness. If she and I had been classmates, I would have envied her natural beauty and funky sense of style. She looks good in everything. Of course, she hasn't tried on red overalls, my go-to outfit of 6th grade.
But what I'm trying to say is that it's okay to not have arrived yet. Time passes, yes, but it can make us better. We can change. We can grow into what's next for us; we're in a constant state of becoming. We don't have to like it. However, change is inevitable, like the passage of day to night. Nothing stays the same. One day, the world won't consider Ruby pretty any longer. Her inner, God-given qualities will remain. Let's make the most of it all.

Justin Bieber reaches puberty during tweet
NEW YORK, NY - Fans of Jason Bieber were stunned to find out that the young pop star reached puberty. The event occurred just as he was in the middle of sending out a tweet.
Justin was alerting fans to an upcoming appearance on Oprah when suddenly he began feeling odd, broke out in pimples and noticed his voice cracking. He immediately began a new tweet that simply reported, "Wow! I love girls!"
Fans were not sure how to react to the news of Bieber's puberty. Lindsey Twyman of Chicago asked, "Is his hair still going to be so cool? Because I want to marry him and I want him to look good in our wedding pictures." Abby Franklin of Nashville remained upbeat, "He is my hero, so if Justin is going to go through puberty, then I'm going to do it too so he won't feel alone!"
Bieber told fans via his website blog that he plans to tweet his entire puberty experience. "My fans can rest assured I will be tweeting from puberty every day. I'll be using the hashtag #BiebersPuberty."
It is unclear how the onset of puberty will affect Bieber's superstardom. Though it may cause his voice to change, there are no plans to rework the lip synching tracks he performs to at concert events.

For your first project, you will redesign a 2-page spread from a print publication. Your objective is to synthesize the form and content of the article. This means, you will need to read the article and try to understand the point of view of the author. Then you create a layout that supports that meaning… a healthy relationship of form and function.
Keep in mind, your objective is to redesign the article. Don't rely on what's already there. You should design not only a new layout, but also use new type, new images, new color, etc.
Speaking of new typography, carefully consider your type pairing (1, 2).
Also, develop a 6 or 8 column grid as the underlying structure for your article. Draw 15 layout thumbnails on the provided paper for Thursday.

Final does NOT mean Final!
We ask that you all keep praying for this adoption to be completed in the very near future and that once our case goes back to PGN it will be rushed through.
It has now officially been 2 years since we signed with the adoption agency and first fell in love with Madison through her referral picture.
2 comments:
We are so sorry to hear that you are still on this crazy roller coaster. You all remain in our prayers that this will all be over soon and that Madison will be home with her family. God will watch over Madison and bring her home soon. Jacob is getting so big. What a precious gift.
Take care and keep faith, Gregg, Kim and Kailey

I am so sorry that your adoption is still in this crazy system! I never imagined when I met you, 18 months ago, that this was even a possibility. I will be praying for your case, for your family and for Madison. Keep fighting for her. Any chance you can visit her soon?

Departing U.N. official calls Ban's leadership 'deplorable' in 50-page memo
The sooner the UN (Useless Nincompoops) is disbanded the better for the free world. This outdated, Marxist organisation needs to be treated with the contempt it deserves. It is corrupt and its sole purpose is to suck up our money (only the first world need contribute) for power and control of the world.
Knifed Ex-Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is now tipped to join this dinosaur organisation (as a Climate Change consultant – hahahaha). Yeah, like seeks like. Need I say more? Oh, and Australia (under Rudd) diverted international aid funds to UN voting countries – and hey, presto, Rudd has been offered a seat on the UN. Nothing to see here, move along.
UNITED NATIONS — The outgoing chief of a U.N. office charged with combating corruption at the United Nations has issued a stinging rebuke of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, accusing him of undermining her efforts and leading the global institution into an era of decline, according to a confidential end-of-assignment report.
The memo by Inga-Britt Ahlenius, a Swedish auditor who stepped down Friday as undersecretary general of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, represents an extraordinary personal attack on Ban from a senior U.N. official. The memo also marks a challenge to Ban's studiously cultivated image as a champion of accountability.
Shortly after taking office in 2007, Ban committed himself to restoring the United Nations' reputation, which had been sullied by revelations of corruption in the agency's oil-for-food program in Iraq.
But Ahlenius says that, rather than being an advocate for accountability, Ban, along with his top advisers, has systematically sought to undercut the independence of her office, initially by trying to set up a competing investigations unit under his control and then by thwarting her efforts to hire her own staff.
"Your actions are not only deplorable, but seriously reprehensible. . . . Your action is without precedent and in my opinion seriously embarrassing for yourself," Ahlenius wrote in the 50-page memo to Ban, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. "I regret to say that the secretariat now is in a process of decay."
Ban's top advisers said that Ahlenius's memo constituted a deeply unbalanced account of their differences and that her criticism of Ban's stewardship of the United Nations was patently unfair.

I really got a lot out of this session as it really opened my eyes to the investment Microsoft has made into the social computing space. They really did a great job of marrying the enterprise publishing world with social. Another trend that Microsoft has really latched onto is context aware solutions. The composite architecture patterns exposed in SharePoint 2010 really start to enable this.
In this session the presenter is talking about re-architecting a select few of Microsoft's internal knowledge management systems. They have already started to re-architect the site onto the SharePoint 2010 and was showing some real life demos. These KM systems currently has close to a 1TB of mission critical data. This repository holds mostly sales and marketing data to enable the Microsoft field.
As a previous user of this information it was rather clunky and it looks like MS thought so as well. They approached the problem in a rather simplistic manner by splitting content into directories and using the Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) method to ensure success. Additionally they scoped the project appropriately by just focusing on publishing and discovery of content.
Approach and Capabilities Needed
Key Challenges
- User Experience – Too many user experience makes it difficult for people to find what they need.
- Collaboration – Pages are documents and managed differently buy multiple teams
- Information Discovery – Search results aren't relevant and difficult to refine
I really enjoyed hearing about how they architecturally viewed the problem. it was clear they had a good separation of concerns in the architecture. This will ensure that the solution can expand to growing business needs. they talked about three logical layers to the architecture.
- Publishing – Working area for publishing
- Document Center – A place for authoritative finished content
- Shared Services Platform – Enterprise capabilities and information taxonomies
Using the concept of SharePoint or aspects of SharePoint as a Shared Services Platform is a notion I have been evangelizing for sometime and it looks like it is mainstream in the messaging from Microsoft both internally and externally.
Governance was talked about quite a lot and for obvious reasons. Keep in mind this was a case study on Microsoft and not authoritative guidance necessarily. The Microsoft culture is a lot different than most organizations. With that said, there was a lot of push back on governance. Two forces were at odds in the Microsoft implementation, governance (Maintain content discovery and authority) vs. enablement (empower more people to contribute). They defined the two as follows:
Maintain content discovery and authority
- One sanctioned place to get information
- Consistent layouts and branding
- Tight OOTB way to integrates pages and document
- Subject management experts have final word
Empower more people to contribute
- Just a few clicks to contribute to topic
- Rating tagging commenting
- No hang-ups
Their implementation use a bit more in the enablement category and rightfully so for their business. As the presentation went on more it was clear that Microsoft made a huge investment to put social computing at the forefront of the publishing capabilities.

Well. today marks a special occasion for me. I got into a size 14 today. This may not sound like a lot, but let me tell you where I am coming from. Before my weight loss journey, I was a size 26 without hope that I would ever see a size 14 ever again. The last time I saw a size 14 was right before I got married (24 years ago this June). Yes, they are still a little snug - but, I am wearing them today and they look good. I still have about 63 more pounds to go and a ways to go physically, but I am a very happy girl today because this means a lot. I will do my happy dance today while celebrating St. Patrick's Day.
Family Update:
Lee: Is amazing. He hasn't been feeling well lately so pray that he will get better soon.
Chris: Is almost as tall as his dad and is doing very well.
Jamie: Is changing so much especially lately.
Kobi: Dogs really don't change that much.
Penny: I think she is going to stay small which is okay for a cat.
Geoffry and Becca: Just found out last week that they are having a boy in August. We will go down to NC for a wedding and baby shower this summer. Can't wait to see everybody. Pray that Geoffry will swiftly find a job and that they will be able to secure housing before the baby comes.

ISRAELI troops and Palestinian gunmen traded heavy fire in a stand-off at a West Bank hideout yesterday.
A 16-year-old Palestinian boy died, shot in the back, and 20 others were wounded in the clashes in the city of Nablus, doctors said.
The stand-off came as troops sealed off a four-storey apartment block in a hunt for two fugitive members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

Screencasting is all the rage these days and with good reason. Using screencasting you can now communicate with your potential future clients in a way that is both personal and educational for them. In this 101 we'll take a look at what screencasting is and what benefits it holds for you.
What is Screencasting?
Screencasting is essentially broadcasting your computer screen and what you're doing on it in video form thus explaining why it's called screencasting. There are a number of reasons why you might want to screencast including the ability to create video how-to guides on how to use things like your site's real estate search, and suggestions on where a user should start when they use your site (example: Find town information under "Area Info". It's separated by region…)
Why Should I Start Screencasting?
Screencasting is pretty simple to do and it gives you another, more personal method of communicating with your prospective clients who visit your website than boring, plain text will. Imagine how many more leads you could generate with your IDX system if web users had an audio and visual guide to maximizing your site's real estate search functionality.
How Do I Start Screencasting?
First thing's first, you'll need a microphone or headset with microphone to record audio if you're going to give a verbal walkthrough while demonstrating during your screen recording. You will also need screencasting software to record and export your screencasting video. For Windows users TechSmith's Camtasia is a popular choice while Mac users will feel right at home using Screenflow.
Any Other Tips?
Don't worry about your first screencast coming out crappy. It'll take a few runs to get an idea of what kind of message you're trying to convey and how you want to show it. During my first screencast attempt I think I recorded it over 30 times before I got one I was happy with. That's not to say it'll take 30 times for each one but you will pick up new techniques each time through trial and error. What's most important is that you're giving it a shot in the first place.

do you ever feel cyber frustrated?
i do. i think social media is to blame.
just my opinion.
but seriously, why wouldn't it? i do not know what i would do if i was 16 again living in 2011. where you can feel inferior because so-and-so has 1,347 friends on facebook and you have 67. (however, my future self would not choose to have 1,347 friends on facebook. all those status updates? no thanks.) but, 16 year old self doesn't see it that way. it is all about you have more and i have less, so that makes me feel inferior.
or, let's blame twitter. i follow you, but you don't follow me. is that offensive?
or, let's get to the heart of the matter, blogging. i think blogging is my current self's downfall. i read these blogs were people post other people's pictures, deem them worthy enough to be considered "cool" to them, and have 500,000 followers. or, they talk about mom stuff.
basically, if i rip off other people's pictures and posts and talk about "mom" stuff, i should be ok?
humph. i guess i will try that.
can't hurt.
PS i want to thank those 7 people who took the time to write a comment last week. i thought i would have 23 people reading this blog, but 7 works too.
and that is heartfelt. passive aggressive is so 2010.

Panel votes 2-1 to restore job of Seattle police officer fired for dishonesty
A Seattle police officer fired for dishonesty will get his job back, along with back pay, after the city's Public Civil Service Commission ruled that termination was too harsh.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A Seattle police officer fired last May for dishonesty will get his job back, along with back pay, after the city's Public Civil Service Commission ruled that termination was too harsh.
Officer Eric Werner, 31, instead will be assessed a 30-day suspension, which will mean a deduction from his back pay.
Werner maintained he forgot about punching an agitated man when he was initially questioned in 2007 by Seattle police during an investigation into the man's complaint that he was repeatedly tazed.
Werner, during testimony last year before the commission, said he later remembered striking the man and decided to come clean while applying for a job with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office in May 2008. The hiring process included polygraph examinations.
The Sheriff's Office didn't hire Werner. But it notified the Seattle Police Department of his disclosure and, after an internal investigation, he was fired last May by interim Police Chief John Diaz for violating the department's honesty policy.
I grew up with Eric, and have known him since kindergarten. Last year he was even on my "Lame 30 & Over Basketball Team". He's been away from the job that he loves for 13 months during this process. Many people have been praying for him, and it is great to see this outcome. You can read the whole article here.

We'll be on the plane heading to Brussels where the weather for our arrival on Tuesday is predicted to be sunny with a high of a balmy 25 (F) and a low of 19 (F). There may still be snow on the ground left over from Monday.
We will be changing our dollars into Euros with a current exchange rate hovering around $1.39 to buy one Euro.
And we will hit the ground running with just a few minutes to drop our bags in the rooms, take a quick shower to revive after the overnight plane trip and then out the door into the wonderful city of Brussels.
This blog will not be updated every day but I will try to update as frequently as time…and Internet connections….permit.
See you at JFK tomorrow!

Our activities in South Sudan
The country has been devastated by civil war and extreme drought.
Since 2011, South Sudan has been independent from its large neighbour Sudan. About 77% of the 12 million inhabitants in South Sudan profess the Christian faith. The country has been suffering from war, drought and famine for years. The civil war, under which the Church has also suffered, have gripped the country since 2013. Our budgets for South Sudan flow above all into the formation of faith, infrastructure and refugee aid.
South Sudan, which has been devastated by civil war and extreme drought, longs for peace. Without the humanitarian aid of churches and aid organisations, people would fall into deep despair. Thousands upon thousands of the South Sudanese live in huge refugee camps.
We support the Church with funds for travel expenses, for example, so that priests can overcome what are ofen long distances to the camps by plane, providing people there with food and medicine and offering them comfor
» Peace must grow on a foundation of education and brotherly love. «
In addition to our aid in the area of mobility, we also promote the formation of
priests and catechists. We are deeply moved by the ofen altruistic commitment of many priests and missionaries, and also about the fact that they have not yet lef the country, despite the continuing violence and terror. This is why we will remain active in South Sudan.For with depopulated dioceses and an insufficient number of priests, the future of the Church is at risk here.

Finding Interview Subjects
The documentary planning is moving along well! The next big step is finding the right people to tell the story, and devising the questions that will get to the information we want.
How do we do that? First, choosing subjects. They should be people who interest us–because if we find them interesting it's a good bet that others will too. Finding friends and recommendations from friends are two good ways. Pre-interview over the phone if possible. Can the person put a coherent sentence together? Some people are great on paper (or digitally), not so much in real life. Try to get a feel for what the person might say. Don't conduct the whole interview, then try to go back with a camera…just ask one or two questions to figure out the person's expertise.
And how about those questions? First rule: open-ended. Don't ask a lot of yes/no questions. Or don't ask questions at all! "Tell me about your relationship and how it began." "Talk to me about the challenges you faced keeping in contact with your boyfriend/girlfriend." "How did/does ___make you feel?"
Composing the right questions to ask the right subjects–that's this week's challenge!

Instead of focusing on the negative, Picard placed his energy in participating in numerous triathlons, marathons and other events for different charities. His mindset on his challenges in life is "Overcome…don't stop living." His most current and biggest endeavor yet, happens this June 8th. Picard, in a specially made bike, will ride 3,200 miles from Miami, FL. to Spokane, WA., in an event called "Hands for Baby Jameson".

The Summerhouse
By Alison Prince Walker Books pound;5.99
The Dark Ground
By Gillian Cross OUP pound;10.99
By Lesley Howarth OUP pound;4.99
Lost and Found
By Valerie Mendes Simon amp; Schuster pound;5.99
Alison Prince has been writing excellent books for children for many years and has not been sufficiently appreciated. She can tackle every sort of story with great style, from family dramas to ghost stories, and her books for younger children are often enhanced by her own delightful illustrations.
Her latest novel, The Summerhouse, is of particular interest to teachers because the main thrust of the narrative concerns the cooperative writing of a story. At the heart of it is the professional writer, Stan, who is slightly mistrusted in the community as he is foreign (Polish) as well as being something of an irritable recluse. Some children from the local school make friends with him and together they fashion a story which is displayed to parents and teachers at the end of the novel.
The children are a mixed bunch, each one with their own history. They understand what Stan is trying to achieve and it is the mysterious misfit, Chokker, who brings magic to the tale in an unexpected way.
We are given two stories for the price of one: both the account of how the tale is collectively written and also what is being produced as the work progresses. The changes and amendments that the children come up with along the way are a model of how to redraft without going mad with boredom. This is a book full of wisdom about very many things from a writer who knows what she's talking about, and it's also a cracking good story.
Gillian Cross's new book, The Dark Ground, is the first part of a trilogy.
Robert finds himself in a jungle and has no memory of how he got there. The jungle is not all that it appears to be and there's great pleasure for the reader in deducing where it is and who it is exactly that Robert meets there. The struggle to find a way home is exciting and because it's the first part of a longer work, there are many adventures still to come.
In Colossus, Lesley Howarth takes us to Rhodes. Again, we have a story within a story, and deep in the inner tale there's yet another layer of narrative which relates to mythology. The beauty of the island is well described and the relationship between the brother and sister at the centre of the book is extremely well portrayed. There are bottom-pinching local youths and Greek gods; donkeys and a wonderful cat called Aristotle; and there's the Colossus himself in his myriad forms. This is the book to read if you wish to be transported to the Mediterranean without leaving your armchair.
Valerie Mendes has written a good and exciting book, Lost and Found, about three people who meet in and around Oxford. There's Daniel, living with foster carers across the road from his old house after his grandmother's death. Laura, a middle-aged woman he meets by accident, is also in mourning. Then a family moves into Daniel's old house and he's immediately drawn to Jade, the daughter, who spends much of her time caring for her younger brother Finn. But appearances can be deceptive and the plot twists and turns to its happy conclusion.

I loved this place. We visited on a busy market Saturday, and every place we considered was packed with people. So was the Southwark, but they have this cute underground dining area that had tables available. So we sat down.
The tavern itself is just like many others, with the old styling and the selection of beers. On this day, at least 50 people were spilled out on to the street and... more
Nice for a quick stop on a warm day. They have some rotating taps for craft beer and a full menu.
I had to try their take on onions rings. They were different from what I was used to in the US ; lighter and crisper. I liked them.
Visited August 2016 more
Mitch makes every little thing a perfect London Tavern experience. It's like the family experience you always want to have with ale to make it even better.
Go here. And ask for Mitch. more
Half of their beer taps were down when I went, but they still had bottles and happy hour wine. Grab a pint, and go sit outside. Buy some chorizo flavored crisps as well. They're delicious. more
We came upon the tavern and needed a drink & food.
Perfect spot.
We got our pints & fish & chips, steak sandwich. The
Food was very good., and so was the beer.
Upstairs has some tables but the real fun is downstairs. In a dungeon like setting we occupied Cell #4. Every table was reserved for the evening. Seems to be a very busy place between 6-9PM
We came between lunch-dinner so had ample of... more

Rory McIlroy sprints out of the gates at the U.S. Open
-For the best in U.S. Open coverage, follow Yahoo! Sports' Devil Ball on Facebook and on Twitter at @jonathanrwall.-
If there's one thing Rory McIlroy has learned to do in major championships with his eyes closed, it's get out fast and post a low number on Thursday. He posted an opening-round 63 at last year's British Open, followed it up with a 65 at the 2011 Masters, and on Thursday at Congressional he posted a 6-under 65 to grab a three-shot lead after round one.
Given McIlroy's recent record in major championships, you'd be inclined not to get too excited about one round of golf. All three of his brilliant Thursdays were followed by some unsightly numbers on the weekend, including his implosion at the Masters that saw him post 80 on Sunday and fall completely out of the tournament.
So be a pessimist if you want. But even if you don't believe this is the start of a memorable week, know this: McIlroy showed us something on Thursday with a flawless round of golf that didn't include a single bogey. He posted the largest opening-round lead in 35 years, and showed us that he's well on his way to forgetting about Augusta.
There are a lot of things to love about McIlroy's game, one of which is his front-runner mentality that always seems to have him roaring to the top of the leaderboard early in the week. But unlike most of the major winners that have come before him, McIlroy still doesn't have the finishing part down.
A perfect round didn't wipe away the pain of Sunday at the Masters, but it did go a long way toward proving the 22-year-old has what it takes to contend at a young age.
He's continuing to grow -- his trip to Haiti is proof of that -- on and off the course, and like most most twenty-somethings, he'll continue to mature every time he puts himself in a position to win. He's got a major championship worthy game, but he's still learning how to put all the pieces together and finish the job.
It's just one round, but based on the maturity and composure McIlroy displayed on Thursday, there are indications that make you believe if he gets a lead on Sunday at a major this time around, he may very well hold onto it.

St. Maarten is one of the Virgin Islands and happens to be shared by France and the Netherlands. The East half of the island is French and treated by many as the upper class part of the island, while the West half of the island is Dutch and treated as a much more plebian population. Personally, I didn't see much difference. The island is mountainous in the center and at some parts close to the shoreline, but is flat and coastal for a large portion of the island. Drivers drive on the right side of the road as they do in the US.
The day was sunny as we started but the forecast indicated some chance of showers later in the afternoon. We got an early start. Here is the general route.
Our Norwegian Jewel was berthed on the East side of Great Bay in the French part of the island. The port around the ship was mostly new with one and two story stucco or brick buildings containing small shops selling souvenirs, small bars, clothing stores, and some offices for real estate sales, rentals, attorneys, etc. Many of our shipmates didn't get out of this area. There was plenty to eat and buy. Many diving tour firms were hawking their tours at the pier.
We rode through the crowd and headed north around the built up area adjacent to the bay. This is a primary beach area for tourists on the island. People could have drinks on the beach, rent diving equipment, and shop for clothes immediately adjacent to the beach. This part is called Phillipsburg and houses many of the business from the French side. We intended to save our tour of Phillipsburg for the end of the bike ride. Behind the shops and living area of Phillipsburg lies the Great Salt Pond. We rode along the road between the Pond and the back side of Phillipsburg for the better part of a mile. Construction could be seen ongoing all along the road. Many of the homes used by the workers of French St Maarten were here, two story apartment buildings with laundry on the walkways. Many people used cars to get around, but I'm sure many also used mopeds and walked.
In the distance on the far side of the bay, we could see taller buildings, probably condos and time shares, which were relatively new and certainly upscale.
We made our way to the Belair section of town through an industrial area which probably supports the cruise and shipping industry. Soon, the rode began to rise and we encountered many serious hills, probably making their way up 500 feet at the lower levels and more than a thousand feet as we got to the overlook toward the Dutch part of the island. Looking back, we could see a very nice area which we learned was Little Bay. Although we tried to get there by road, we couldn't find a path. I now believe the tip of the point on the East side of Little Bay is not reachable by road. The several thousand people who live in these upscale apartments and condos get in and out by boat! But it seemed to be a very nice place.
We made it up most of the smaller hills, but we then turned to the road going over the big hill—the one that rose about 1500 feet or more. We definitely did not make it up this bugger in one ride. It took all of a half hour, several water stops, and not a little walking. At the top, we found a great lookout with a small café serving only water and other beverages. We stopped for a 20 minute rest. The building was topped with a six pointed star, but I doubt this was intended to be a Star of David. The proprietor was friendly and talked about what we would find on the Dutch part of the island. He warned us to be careful on the road down because some tourists are not as careful as they should be.
The way down nearly wore out our brakes, but it was a pleasant change from the way up. I vowed to find a way to avoid climbing this hill again on the way back. As we approached the bottom of the long hill, we could tell the difference between the French and Dutch sides of the island. We rode through slums and then casinos and bars and restaurants for this, the main part of the Dutch side. At Cole Bay, we rode onto the beach and Jessica even went into the water, again cooling herself off by dropping her head and hair into the Caribbean Sea. There were tourist vacation hotels along the beach and many people were outside playing volleyball, floating in the waves, reading and trying some of the beverages offered locally. We continued on for a significant flat portion of the ride around Simpson Bay, past low areas which were wet and barely above the water. We passed the Dutch airport (Princess Juliana) and moved into the Mullet Bay golf course. A ride through a golf course here was pleasant, but I don't think the course was of Jack Nicklaus quality. There were many foursomes on the course, but the balls were flying everywhere, seldom in the fairways. On our right for most of the ride through the flat area is a salt water pond called Simpson Bay Lagoon. As we rode around the lagoon, I recognized many large waterbirds which I had only read about before—herons and egrets, especially.
Moving north again, we eventually passed the border between the Dutch and French parts of the island. The street names took on a French hue and we were happy to be making time over the flats. Again, we began to see upscale homes, many being newly built. It seems the French are emphasizing homes and condos for their building boom while the Dutch are emphasizing casinos, hotels, and restaurants. We got to the north side of the Simpson Bay lagoon, where we began to see glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean north of the island. This reminded me of Kailua in Hawaii with beach houses, but much more spread out in St Maarten and with many more large trees. The houses were, in general, very secluded. The road shoulder was sandy, and this area is rightly called Sandy Ground. Having been on the road for almost three hours by now, we decided to look for a place to stop and eat, but the area had few commercial establishments. Eventually, we came upon a small seaside hotel called Le Buccaneer (I think this correct). We parked the bikes outside and entered an empty bar area with only a bartender apparent. He directed us outside to tables on the beach under palm trees. The site was gorgeous. We could see a harbor far across the bay with a few boats moving around. We chose a table and ordered. We settled for an appetizer with several separate portions of dips and spreads along with French bread. It was wonderful. I chose a conch steak platter and Yaffa chose a vegetarian plate. This was accompanied by beer and limeade. The meal was wonderful and perfect for tired bicyclists.
After about an hour at lunch, we embarked again for the remainder of the ride. We rode for a few miles just inland of the beach first through forested areas and eventually into the outskirts of the town of Marigot, with small two room houses and stores. We entered a more heavily opulated area with bars hotels, car repair shops, etc, and then turned south at a major intersection for the trip back to the ship.
This took us first through a mile of urban streets and then through rolling hills lined with cattle farms. We entered another more urban area as the route began to climb a 300 foot hill. As we topped this hill, we spied our choices for the homestretch. One choice was the short cut over the hill along a road which seemed to rise at more than 45 degrees as it climbed 1000 feet.
Option two was a less styeep route which would add several miles to our route. We chose option two and embarked on the climb which required a few rest stops and walking periods itself. Eventually we came back into site of the ocean and familiar roads from earlier in the day. We retraced our earlier route from Cole Bay back toward the Great Salt Pond and eventually onto the beach along Great Bay. This was the most difficult ride of my Caribbean and Yucatan adventures.
As we reached the beach in Phillipsburg, we stopped to look for curios at the shops along the beach. We also stopped at some of the high cost import stores to check out some of the clothes, but they were way out of my desired price range. The stores were very nice though. Finally, the ship was in site and we made our way into the protected port area through port security. Upon arrival at the ship, I headed immediately for the top level buffet where I imbibed at least four glasses of iced tea. This ride was one I was glad to have made, but one which I also was glad to be over. I looked forward to flatter routes tomorrow.

Turkish 'terror attack' claims 34 lives
A car bomb explosion ripped through a busy square in the Turkish capital Sunday evening, killing at least 34 people and wounding 125 others, officials said.
(CNN) — A car bomb explosion ripped through a busy square in the Turkish capital Sunday evening, killing at least 34 people and wounding 125 others, officials said.
The death toll could include one or two attackers, Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said.
"We condemn this terror attack and we say again, people who carried out this attack will never succeed," Interior Minister Efkan Ala said.
Scores of police cars, firefighters and medical personnel rushed to the scene. Security forces evacuated the area, the official Turkish news agency Anadolu reported.
Authorities haven't released details about who was behind the blast.
"It's too early to talk about who carried out this attack. The investigation is ongoing," a senior Turkish official said. "Our priority right now is the wounded."
The explosion apparently targeted a transportation hub where bus stops and a metro station are located in the Kizilay neighborhood, Anadolu said.
A bombing that targeted military vehicles in the capital in February killed at least 28 people.
Last week, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara warned of a possible terrorist plot to strike government buildings in the capital's Bahcelievler neighborhood, which is just a few minute's drive from the square where Sunday's explosion occurred.
CNN's Gul Tuysuz reported from Istanbul and Azadeh Ansari wrote from Atlanta. CNN's Catherine E. Shoichet contributed to this report.
