By: Mark Townsend and David Glick
In a world where we're bombarded with advice on going green, authors Mark Townsend and David Glick take a refreshing line and tell us how NOT to go green. Indeed, they're here to help us f**k up the planet good and proper. And it's easier than you think. An irreverent celebration of environmental doom and gloom, 50 Ways to F**k the Planet takes the 'eco-handbook' in an outrageous new direction, exposing fifty very real and very scary threats facing the world today and showing just how entertaining and easy it is for us to make them worse.
Punctuated with checklists and handy hints to f**k things up faster, this book is for those who want to stop pretending they are responsible world citizens and just get with the party. How much you get involved is up to you, but don't be fooled into thinking that doing nothing is any better.
From the familiar bumblebee, whose dwindling numbers has huge repercussions on our food chain, to the environmental implications of the smoking ban, the topics cover endangered species and declining terrain as well as social (mis)conduct and the devastating effects of commerce. Outspoken and unabashedly brazen, this is your ultimate countdown to the end of the world.

Toy Storyon May 3, 2012 at 12:01 am
Things we considered scary in the old movie, in ascending order: Sid, Sid's dog, the Monkeys. Because you just know that these guys are what's really making the world of Toy Story tick, their howling ways hiding the economics of toy-world, their approval making or breaking the careers of any good plastic that comes in their way…

We often go to sleep with our stomach upset, and that is almost always due to a heavy meal. This can be a reason for poor digestion, heartburn and acid reflux, while also interrupting our sleep. But luckily, this problem can be treated in a natural way, by using a mixture of coconut milk, ginger and turmeric, as they can relieve the symptoms easily.
Because of the nutritional content of the ingredients and their powerful properties, the remedy works perfectly. The coconut milk contains some healthy fats, and it also has antimicrobial properties, which can be very helpful in preventing problems with the digestion. On the other hand, turmeric is a powerful anti – inflammatory agent, which can help in relieving inflammation in the digestive tract lining and prevent ulcers because of its antiseptic properties.
Here we have some of the health benefits of turmeric:
– It heals and soothes the digestive tract;
– It detoxifies the body by stimulating the liver and improving bile flow;
– It cures cancer;
– It can reduce pain and fever;
– It prevents ulcers;
– It relieves arthritic pain;
– It improves circulation and acts as a blood thinner.
Besides the before mentioned ingredients, this remedy also contains honey and black pepper. Black pepper is needed in boosting the absorption of curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric, while honey has rich nutrient content and numerous health benefits that further improves the remedy.
Needed ingredients:
– 2 cups of coconut milk;
– A piece of sliced ginger or a teaspoon of ginger powder;
– A teaspoon of turmeric powder;
– A tablespoon of organic honey;
– ¼ of a teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Here is how to prepare it:
This is a remedy which is easily prepared. All the ingredients, except honey, should be mixed together into a bowl and they should be also cooked in a saucepan for 5 minutes on low heat. In the end, let the mixture to cool down for a couple of minutes and then add the honey in it.
This drink will help you in soothing your stomach,it will improve your digestion, as well as prevent acid reflux. You should try it yourself and you will be amazed by the results!

There is a healthy competition ecosystem in the technology sector. Consumers have many choices when it comes to laptops, phones, music players and other gadgets.
I read this blog post about "Why Windows" and loved the walkthrough from the early days of the beige box to what we know now… This is definitely worth a read! It touches upon Windows Phone 7 and how it goes back to the true 'Windows' meaning.
Here's a snapshot, read the full article here. There are cute graphics along the way to explain the author's view

Dear Budget Fashionista: What are the best places for bargain shopping in Las Vegas?
A: Personally, I think the best places to do real bargain shopping in Las Vegas is at the outlets (read below my comments on pawn shops). Las Vegas has more shopping outlets per capita than probably any other place in the world. which is just fine my me.
Las Vegas Bargain Shopping
At the Fashion Outlet Las Vegas. you'll find a pretty good Williams Sonoma Outlet, as well as outlets from companies like Coach, Last Call Neiman Marcus, St. John Knits, Tod's, Burberry, etc. at the Fashion Outlet Las Vegas. It is about a 10-minute (around $10) taxi ride from the strip or you can use the shuttle from the MGM Grand.
Head to the site, to get more information on the outlet (as well as a link to a coupon to save an additional $3.00 off the shuttle service). Make sure you get a discount book with coupons for additional savings at the mall.

My almost 12 year-old daughter- likes to hold her hand up in front of her face when I take a picture.
This same girl has managed to take A LOT of pictures of herself with my phone.
I want to protect my kids and I want to encourage them to interact with peers using face to face conversations, not through electronics. It is easy for me to become frustrated with her keen interest in social media.
Then I remember what it was like to be an 11 year-old.
From 3rd to 10th grade I lived in a town different from my school. This town was not only 20 minutes away from my school, it was also a long-distance phone call. Meaning if a majority of my classmates wanted to talk to me on the phone, it would cost extra money. Money that a majority of our parents were not willing to pay.
It was my "first-world" problem of the late 80's and 90's that I resented.
It was my "first-world" problem of the late 80's and 90's that I resented.
In 2015 in the world of my daughter, the kids don't call each other up that much. Her classmates in particular use Instagram. When she approached me about getting account, I was quick to say no. There are several books in print dedicated to the subject of the evils of the internet and its affect on children. I haven't read a single one because I use the internet daily, I don't have to be told it is not a safe place for kids and sometimes, adults.
The reality is, it is no longer 1990. Soon enough my kids will have complete autonomy, they will go into the world and make their own choices. One of my jobs as a parent is to guide my 21st century children through their culture, without it consuming them.
|Jane began taking pictures of her self with our ipod way before she had much access to the internet. The "selfie" craze might just be a human nature thing.
|Elliot having a go.
upside to the new account, she doesn't fight taking photos as often as she did.
This was at the 6th grade send off at TCS. A special time at school to say good-bye and pray for the 6th graders as they head off to middle school.
| Only thing that makes it better is Elliot doing a photo bomb at the Whitecaps baseball game. Both my kids- bonus!
I think I have found his motivation for taking pictures.
Although 21st century issues can be frightening to me, they really aren't all that different from when I was a kid. It comes down to the heart of the matter and I will continue to reach out and connect with my kids in the physical and virtual world.

Getting beyond a feet-first pencil jump and joining the older kids in the deep end is a big deal at this age. Help her take the plunge:
Go the distance. In deeper water, she'll need to have the endurance to swim from the middle of the pool to the ladder, as well as the ability to tread water for one minute (in case there's a wait to climb out).
Quiz her on safety. Katrina Ramser-Parrish, a swim teacher in Novato, CA, and creator of Squidkid.org, a swim-instruction resource for parents, likes to probe her wannabe divers. "I'll suggest to the kids that we head over to the shallow end to get started. And if they don't object, then that's my signal to review some basic safety." (If they're old enough to dive, they're old enough to realize they should never attempt it in less than six feet of water.)
Look before you leap. Make sure your kid knows not to jump unless the area in front of her is clear. Also, she should ask the lifeguard if there's an age or height minimum to use a diving board.
Ease into it. Start by having your child sit on the pool's edge with her arms pointing straight out (like they're glued to her ears) and her fingers curled downward. A kneeling dive is next: one knee down, her butt up in the air, and the toes of her other leg on the edge of the pool so she can push off. A standing dive is the last position, when she's got the other two moves down pat.

It doesn't, but I know it is. I left it on a wall charger for a whole day and it wouldn't take much of a charge still. I followed
I definitely don't see it being the motherboard, seeing as the player responds, the 'install firmware' thing is working, the Zune logo pops up, ect.
Battery's in Carson, CA right now, so it should be here Friday (or maybe tomorrow if I pick it up at the post office).
I DID get it to reformat though! Connected it to my lappy and it worked (pretty sure I was doing it wrong before). Now let's see what happens...
EDIT: ... It still won't install the firmware. -_- Same C00D124F error.
moar edit: I'm starting to think I should look around on Amazon or somewhere for a non-working Z30 with an HDD problem and put the new parts in there.
Or maybe I have a DOA new hard drive. Or maybe Microsoft just manages to make awesome things with horrific flaws.
EDIT 3: For some ungawdly reason I decided to open it up and try putting the old hard drive back in and seeing what happened. Can't get it in, so I just put the new one back in, left the battery and back off and just plugged it into the laptop. It's doing what it did in the first post! Or either the motherboard it derping the hard drives up or it was a DOA hard drive. Either way, brb, gonna scratch my eyes out.
EDIT 4: (6:15pm, PDT, Saturday) I got the battery. ... the cord's too short.
Oh wait, it bends. Okay.
Put the original hard drive back in. The reason I had problems before is because the hard drive has a tiny black thing that clamps onto the ZIF cable, and I was trying to put the cable in while it was clamped. Huh.
Let's see what I can do with the new battery.
All it does with both hard drives is stay on the Zune logo with nothing happening for a few minutes, then goes to step 5 of whatever saying to contact support.
I think I just need a new Zune...

Sure to creep out more than a few privacy-concerned Instagram users, SnapQuest is a newly launched project that allows users to see photos from around the world.
Constantly updating in real time, Snapquest relies on open privacy settings in order to operate. When a user enters the site, they must choose a location they'd like to view and from there can choose a particular 'pin' on a map for a more accurate picture of a given place. The feed then uploads random photos from users in the area. Providing a huge array of photos from a wide audience, this is an addicting although guilty pleasure.
More than likely to conjure up a fair bit of controversy, this is a slightly violating but intriguing site sure to change the way users understand Instagram.

13 hours and 900 miles later I'm now in Albuquerque.😁 Thank goodness for Murph's cruise control! The Texas panhandle was the worst part. I can't say enough about how great my Connie performed. I think she wanted to keep going to California!
I'm thinking Taos, NM to Southern Colorado. Then over to Utah.

Some idle soul has done the world a favour by amalgamating wartime newsreel clips from the British Pathé and Japanese NHK archives.
As the running time is quite substantial, what follows is a breakdown of the bits of most interest to wargamers (not that the rest isn't worth watching, particularly for those wishing to see a leafy Bangkok unsullied by today's congestion):
00:04 Primary school members of the Yuwachon youth movement participating in irredentist marches.
0:54 Arrival of a Laffly S15R bearing Japanese mediators.
00:59 French troops, including one cheeky-looking chap in a non-regulation beret.
01:42 Thai reservists presenting arms to the Franco-Thai-Japanese armistice commission.

Keeping Hope Alive
As Jones reminded us, we should not have been surprised at the intensity of the backlash that has developed against th Obama administration. We would have been naive to expect that as soon as a more progressive administration came to power, opposition would melt away. He compared the ongoing struggle to the three part Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is an epic saga we are in the middle of, and the Orcs are not fading quietly away. Instead they are gathering their forces for counterattack. In another nice analogy, he compared President Obama to the captain of the Titanic, whom we elected after the ship had already struck the iceberg, and who is attempting to steer the ship forward with a gaping hole in its side.
Jones also recalled that he was born in 1968, the year the dream was assassinated, and he only realized the momentousness of what occurred that year when a fellow student asked his kindergarten teacher about Bobby Kennedy and she immediately started crying. I was 14 in 1968, and the events of that year had a profound impact on me as an impressionable teenager who was something of a political geek. As Jones said, it took 40 years to pick up the pieces and resurrect the dream again. We have to maintain hope and keep working for change, because we can't allow the dream to die again for another generation.
3 comments:
I enjoyed this blog very much. I was also 14 in 1968 and the events had a huge impact on me as well.ReplyDelete
To enjoy it as much as I do I had to overlook this point made by you:
"Jones might be expected to be bitter in light of his own Sherrod-like experience".
Sherrod was massively screwed. No doubt. But I don't think Jones' experience is the same. Anymore than the description of Bush's motivation for invading Iraq, Rangle's ethics accusations, Spitzer's downfall, Rev Wright's fall out, etc. We should be held accountable for our words and our deeds. In my view, Sherrod was an example of horriblew new reporting. Jones made his own bed. Not in a legal sense like Bush, Spitzer and Rangle, but more like Wright, with his words. Apparently Obama and his advisors agree.
I agree with you that Jones's situation is different from Sherrod's. Jones would agree also, I think. He acknowledged in his speech that he resigned voluntarily and it was his own past that caught up with him. But there are also some similarities in the way he was targeted by the right in an unfair way.ReplyDelete
He was targeted, for sure. Left targets right and right targets left. Palin -- big target. That's politics. I suppose the left feels the right is harshest. I all suppose the right feels the left is harshest. As someone who considers himself in the center, I believe both sides are equally guilty and frustrating. It's no wonder we struggle to find worthy candidates!ReplyDelete

A much lower proposal of 150,000 Naira per player of the victorious Golden Eaglets has been tabled by the sports ministry after a proposal of 750,000 Naira-a-player was rejected by the Presidency as "too much."
The Federal Government, according to africanFootball.com, has rejected an initial proposal by the sports ministry to reward the Eaglets after the team won a fifth FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile last month.
This week the government warned that next year will be tough for the country because of the poor economy and has moved to reduce drastically government spending.
"The proposal has been reviewed after the first rejection. We wait for the green light from the Presidency on the date for the reception and the reward," a sports ministry official told africanFootball.com.

I have never really had a New Years resolution, so this year I finally decided I wanted to make one.
Starting January 1st I will be blogging at least once a week. This is challenging for me, because I run empty of ideas easily.
By writing this post and telling about my New Years resolution, I think it will make it easier for me to keep the "promise", but we'll see about that one!
Have a great christmas and a happy New Year!

Speaker asks for an inquiry
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver referred sexual harassment complaints about one of his Democratic majority members to the Assembly's ethics committee on Friday.
The allegations came in complaints from three women in their 20s who quit working for Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, 62, claiming his behavior and comments were abusive and offensive and created a hostile work environment. Two of the women indicated to their lawyer that they didn't think that going to Silver with their concerns while they were still working for the lawmaker would have ended their problems.
The women filed a notice of claim with the state Attorney General's Office on Thursday, the same day they also mailed a complaint to Silver. Both documents list Niagara Falls lawyer Johnny Destino as their attorney. The complaint told Silver that the women were subjected to a "pattern of outrageous and appalling behavior by Assemblyman Gabryszak" during their work in his office at different times between 2011 and 2013.
"I really wanted to contact Speaker Sheldon Silver and tell him," Kimberly Snickles of North Tonawanda wrote in a statement. "But with all of the Vito Lopez cover-ups that actually surfaced on my first day of work I did not think there would be any recourse." She was referring to Silver's handling of accusations of sexual harassment of young female staffers by Vito Lopez. The Brooklyn Democrat resigned from the Assembly last May. Silver attempted to resolve the accusations against Lopez by two women with a confidential monetary settlement. However, even after that deal, more complaints of harassment by Lopez surfaced.
Silver was sharply criticized and faced calls for his ouster for not referring the first set of complaints about Lopez to the Assembly Committee on Ethics and Guidance. At the time, he promised not to repeat that mistake. On Friday, through his counsel, he asked the ethics panel to investigate the allegations about Gabryszak, using the outside lawyer the committee has retained for such probes.
The complaint sent to Silver listed alleged incidences in which the Erie County assemblyman made inappropriate statements and sexually tinged jokes and observations about female anatomy in his legislative office.
The women said they felt degraded and confused. Annalise C. Freling, Grabyszak's former communications director, reported becoming so self-conscious of her boss' attention to her appearance that she stopped wearing makeup and doing her hair before work. Destino wrote that Gabryszak's conversations involved his escapades with prostitutes, strip clubs, affairs with assemblywomen and massages with "happy endings."
A spokesman for Silver, Michael Whyland, called the accusations "very disturbing" and said that Silver was unaware of them before Friday.
"The Assembly is committed to a safe and respectful work environment for all its employees and we take all allegations very seriously," Whyland said.
The women's notice of claim preserves their right to sue within a year. It says they seek monetary compensation and a judgment.
The notice also says that two more former employees of the assemblyman will come forward with similar allegations. The Depew politician, married with an adult daughter and son, declined to comment.

Tsuki Kotegaeshi Ura??
Please visit our

Terry Donaghe
Hi all,
I'm testing for my 5th kyu (USAF) in a couple of weeks and I was going over the list of requirements with my wife last night (she's already 5th kyu). On the list is Tsuki Kotegaeshi omote and ura. The way we always practice in class - we do it with a tenkan, grabbing the hand, stretching out and then doing the technique. How the heck do you do an ura version of that?
She had no idea and didn't remember testing for that back in February. I don't think I've seen it or I just can't visualize it.
Can anyone spare a clue? Either way, I'll find out tonight in class and do a followup...
It's different in different place so ask your instructor not a bunch of geeks at computers :)
As I understand it, KG is normally done ura (to the rear) with a tenkan. It can be done omote with a tenkan though too. Some places differentiate this way, others by the size of the tenkan, or by doing another tenkan or an irimi movement after the first blending tenkan - on the ura side.
Hope that helps some, can't do any of them myself.
Anyone got pictures handy?
Terry Donaghe
Ok - maybe what we're doing is already ura - but in that case I'm not sure what the omote version would be, unless it's just spinng around another time, but that doesn't seem right either. Oh well, I'll find out tonight. Just pre-test jitters.
Kotegaeshi omote usually starts with an irimi to the "inside" of the tsuki (with an atemi to the face) -- kind of like the opening footwork to yokomenuchi shihonage. The footwork is also very similar to iriminage omote as well. Yes, this sort of question is probably best handled by asking your instructor...
-- Jun
I always thought that omote tsuki kote gaeshi was done by just simply doing a walking step to the inside. This would put you in Ai hamni (spelling?) And then you do Kote Gaeshi from there. Ura you do the tenkan. Thats what i think if i remember correctly.
Check with your sensei!
Janet Rosen
I have learned two very different footwork/body movement patterns for what is called the omote/ura versions of this from training in two different schools, so YES you really have to find out what YOUR dojo expects to see!
Dirk Hanss
Wanna be totally confused?
When we do the omote, we do the same tenkan to take the hand and then step again in front of uke (omote) to do the kotegaeshi - at least at 5Th kyu testing level.
Regards Dirk
Many schools determine omote or ura based on the direction and positions of the final movement. You might tenkan and "catch" the punch in the same manner for both versions, but omote or ura may be based on what you do from there, be it pulling uke around to the rear by his attacking arm and throwing him (ura), or by stepping back to his front and throwing him there (omote). There are numerous other variations, and perhaps your instructor prefers his own interpretation. This is why you should speak to him/her or to a senior student for the preferred way(s). Do not be afraid to ask your teacher these questions directly, as all knowledge begins with the words "I don't know".
I wanted to second Janet, it really is best to ask someone in your dojo what your sensei wants to see. I'm USAF, too and train with Peter Bernath, we're Eastern Region. I'll try and help you.
The key whether something is omote or ura is the end of the technique -- at least for the USAF. Think of which direction are you going around uke? If you go behind, it is ura and if you go in front, it is omote. You can open with tenkan and then end with omote. To figure this out -- say you do a tenkan, then stretch the uke out and to the technique. When you do the technique do you step in front of uke or do you step behind the uke? If you want to do ura after a tenkan you need to step back with your front foot, the uke will go backwards. You're taking uke's balance backwards in this ura version. If you are doing omote after a tenkan, I believe you will stetch them out and then step forward with your front foot at an angle in front of uke. Here you will be taking uke's balance forwards in this omote version.
Of course what I just wrote makes sense, to me. If it makes no sense to you, then that is really why you need to ask someone senior than you or your sensei.
For the omote version, try the following.
Do you best irimi-tenkan entrance and get to the typical position (you should have had the "option" to hit the uke on the way to that place). Tap the striking arm almost like you are dribbling a basket ball. If your entrance is timed well they should still have some power going forward and their arm should bounce just a bit back up from your tap. That is a cool thing to feel, because if you nuture that connection, it will make things a lot easier for you. Avoid grabbing and yanking their arm toward you or pushing it down, instead touch them and drop you hara a bit while you lengthen your arm forward and away from where you are standing. They will start to drop into a hole. (I do this as I'm completing my tenkan). Before they hit the bottom of that hole, "roll" (more like a rocking chair rocks forward really) your hand from hand-blade across your palm towards your thumbnail and continue guiding them forward, down, and now a bit back towards where you are standing. It has to be an arc of you will fight against the motion. If you catch them like this, you can move omote or ura from there without much resistance. I typically start to roll my hand in the oposite direction when I want to start leading them to the position to fall. The main thing is that you basically draw their arm away from their center, and then drive it right back into their center - but steer it away at the last second using your "other hand" (the cross lateral one) so that they fall instead. I hope this makes sense. If not, thanks for trying to follow my crazy verbal explanation. (It's much easier to just show someone and say do it like this.)
Terry Donaghe
THanks for all the suggestions everyone! One thing that I really love about Aikido is that there's not very many definite things. There's so many different ways to do every single technique, and some techniques have very different names according to which "style" of aikido you practice.
Anyways, I asked my sensei last night after class, and his take is for omote and ura (as opposed to the tenkan version) to tenshin with my front foot, and grab under uke's fist and twist kind of like the beginning of shihonage and turn uke out of the way while applying the kotegaeshi grab and then either stepping in front of uke and doing the throw for omote or behind and tenkaning for the ura. It makes sense, kinda. I'll have to practice.
The other amusing bit is that when I looked at the big USAF poster listing the testing requirements, for tsuki kotegaeshi, it justs lists tenkan - not omote and ura. But, since I asked and since sensei spent some time to show me after class, I get the feeling I had better be prepared to do that during the test. :D
Thanks again everyone! It's really cool to see different takes on how to do this!
You should really just ask Glen, and I'm sure he would clarify it for you. I believe the omote version is done without the full pivot after the tenkan, while the ura is with a full pivot after you tenkan. I could be wrong though. Good luck on your test.

It's become a grand tradition here at ComingSoon.net for us to go to Las Vegas for the annual exhibitors convention CinemaCon (formerly called ShoWest). For the third year in a row, Caesar's Palace is the home for CinemaCon and as in past years, hundreds of exhibitors and theater owners will gather to find out what the studios have to offer their audiences over the next few months.
As usual, we've gotten there a bit early to check out the posters on display, some of which you can see below and others you can check out in our 2013 CinemaCon Gallery.
Like last year, Paramount Pictures gets to kick things off with their presentation on Monday night, and besides showing footage from J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, they're also planning on showing Michael Bay's Pain & Gain, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, in full.
20th Century Fox will have their own presentation as well as showing The Heat, a police buddy comedy that pairs Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy with Bridesmaids director Paul Feig, which was originally going to have an April release.
Walt Disney Pictures will be showing the DixarPixar animated prequel Monsters University as an incomplete work-in-progress and showing footage from Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger, starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp.
Warner Bros. will show more footage from Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (which debuted at CinemaCon last year), Todd Phillips' comedy The Hangover Part III (a long-time favorite among CinemaCon attendees) and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. Who knows? Maybe they'll even show some footage from Peter Jackson's second "The Hobbit" movie.
CBS Films will be showing their upcoming summer comedy The To Do List starring Aubrey Plaza ("Parks and Recreation") and Bill Hader, whose wife Maggie Carey wrote and directed the movie.
Besides the above, there will also be presentations from Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures and Lionsgatethe former two really blowing us away last year with their presentations without bringing talent to help get the exhibitors excited.
Stay tuned this week as we present more pictures, interviews and write-ups on the footage we see, and you will definitely want to follow the Weekend Warrior Twitter as that's where my first reactions will be posted.

The eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between the British government and the IRA hunger-strikers does not dominate the daily lives of the thousands of Belfast residents outside the city's republican ghetto areas.
They have no relatives involved, they do not feel directly affected, and for them life goes on as normally as possible.
The stores are open and well-stocked. There have been many good bargains in the shops to attract those customers who still have hard cash, despite the economic recession that has pushed overall unemployment in this province to 21 percent. Cinemas, hotels, and theaters are still doing a brisk business, and people are even opening new restaurants.
A recent bombing spree by the Provisional wing of the illegal Irish Republican Army (IRA) badly damaged two leading hotels and a section of the city center. But Belfast is used to bombs. The people have grown thick skins. They are no longer easily shocked or jolted from their normal stride.
The attitude of businessman Harpur Brown is typical. He is the manager of the downtown Europa Hotel, one of the most famous on the international newsman's beat. It has been bombed and attacked, directly or indirectly, 28 times since it opened 10 years ago. Today it remains open and flourishing.
Mr. Brown, a dapper man who has been with the Europa since it opened, is optimistic. "For years I was so busy that I rarely was able to go outside the hotel," he said. "We are still busy, but when I walk around Belfast now I am still amazed at the quality and range of goods in the shops and at the number of people about."
Another man who keeps a careful eye on his own accounts is Roy Heybeard, artistic director of the Ulster Actors Company. Mr. Heybeard is an ambitious young actor and entrepreneur who, with the aid of public grants, helped to turn the ailing arts theater into a center for quality drama and family entertainment. He took over the theater five years ago and has helped to fill empty seats with musicals, rock concerts, and Irish kitchen comedy.
He learned about profit and loss the hard way.
"Recently we put on a play about a man injured in the Ulster troubles," he said. "It was a good play and well-staged, but it emptied the theater. People don't want this kind of reality. They want escapism. If they know that we are staging a comedy, they will come to the theater to get away from the depressing news. The situation has been bad during the hunger strikes, but personally I am optimistic. I think that we will stay on here and entertain people for a long time to come."
This kind of guarded optimism is echoed in the most unlikely places, including the home of Westminster member of Parliament Gerry Fitt, who lives near the republican ghetto of New Lodge. His home has been attacked on several occasions by Provisional IRA supporters and it is now heavily fortified with wire mesh and security-screening systems.
Mr. Fitt is a former sailor and a folksy Ulsterman who has kept an ear to the grass roots of his native city during the 16 years that he has represented West Belfast in the British House of Commons.
"I have fought and won more elections than any Irishman, alive or dead," he boasts. And he has figures to prove it. He fought 23 government and local elections in the 23 years of his public life and lost only four. The most traumatic was in June this year, when he lost his seat on Belfast City Council because of his opposition to the hunger strikes.
Mr. Fitt believes that the atmosphere in Belfast and elsewhere is slowly moving against the hunger strikes.
"People are beginning to realize that behind the hunger strikes are ruthless men," he said. "Those on the fasts are living in their own little world which is divorced from reality. The Provisionals really think that they will put pressure on [Prime Minister Margaret] Thatcher by enlisting the support of President Reagan, Chancellor Schmidt, President Mitterrand, and others. But they are living in the world of Walter Mitty."
Mr. Fitt also believes that the Provisionals will back down first.
"The body of a dead or a dying hunger striker has been a more lethal weapon in the Provisional armory than an Armalite rifle, but it is my opinion that in the end the Provisionals will be he first to blink. They are not getting anywhere with Maggie Thatcher."
There are many who strongly disagree. Indeed, there is no open sign that the Provisionals are beginning to crack, even though Catherine Quinn helped to bring her son Patrick off his fast by asking doctors to intervene, and the Rev. Denis Faul, a prison chaplain closely identified with the anti-H-blocks campaign, recently advised the prisoners to suspend or end their protest.
So while this deadly and complex battle continues, Belfast and most of its people go about their business as usual. Mr. Fitt summed up the attitude: "I don't know of any people in the world who would have come through so much and still have survived with such resilience and a sense of humor."

I love it when a good fashion mystery gets solved, and last week Style Salvage unearthed the names of the two siblings we featured recently on Love the Look.
They're called Dee and Ricky and they make the cute Lego heart badges snapped by the Sartorialist and sported by Kanye West. They come in classic red, multi or for the dead inside, black. It's too late for Christmas but they would make a perfectly non-soppy Valentine's gift, or even better a post-Christmas treat for yourself should Santa's haul prove to be disappointing.

Low ratings for Bush visit on 'No Deal'
President Bush's guest appearance in support of an Iraq War veteran on Monday night's "Deal or No Deal" didn't bring much luck to the contestant -- or the show.
The NBC game show matched its lowest Monday rating ever despite the much-publicized visit by the commander-in-chief. The two-hour "Deal" was seen by 10 million viewers and earned a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49 and a 7 share, down 27% from its prior season average.
Bush had taped a special message for contestant Capt. Joseph Kobes, a U.S. Army transportation officer who served three tours of duty in Iraq. Kobes won a Purple Heart and Bronze Star and volunteered for his second and third deployments. "Deal" host Howie Mandel dubbed him "the ultimate American."
But during his game, Kobes said "no deal" one too many times, going from a $144,000 offer to accepting a mere $26,000. At the end of the episode, however, Kobes ended up tripling his take-home total to a respectable $78,000 during a spin of the "deal wheel."
"I'm thrilled to be on 'Deal or No Deal' with you tonight," Bush said during his taped message. "Come to think of it, I'm thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days. Howie, I don't know if you're free to come to come to Washington anytime soon, but I have to reach an agreement with Congress on the federal budget. How'd you like to host a $3 trillion 'Deal or No Deal'?"
Monday night also saw the return of the CW's "Gossip Girl" (2.4 million, 1.3/4) to originals in a new time period. Replacing the usual comedy block, "Gossip" was up 8% versus its pre-strike average. Along with an on par "One Tree Hill" (2.8 million, 1.4/3), the dramas gave CW its best overall Monday ever in its target 18-34 demo.
Overall, CBS won the night with comedies "Big Bang Theory," "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men" and "Rules of Engagement" and drama "CSI: Miami" (averaging 11.5 million, 4.0/10).
ABC was second with "Dancing With the Stars," "Samantha Who" and "The Bachelor" (averaging 13.2 million, 3.5/9).
NBC came in third with "Deal" and "Medium" (averaging 9.9 million, 2.8/7).
Fox had "Bones" and a "House" repeat (averaging 8.3 million, 2.6/7).

I am using SatPC32 to control a pair of IC706MkIIG's. The CAT control with the SubTone "T" feature does not enable the subtone when trying to use AO-51. I enable the sub tone on the IC706 Uplink xcvr, toggle the T button to T1, but as soon as CAT control changes the frequency to allow for doppler shift, the tone function is disabled in the xcvr by the program even though T1 in the program is still enabled. What is the correct instruction code to enter in the SubTone.SQF file in SatPC32 for the IC706. The current command line in the file reads: AO-51,67.0,$3F,1. Any help is greatly appreciated. 73, Robert W6RQR _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Maine event
That's where we were in case you were wondering.
We left our troubles - the pink slip, the house full of fleas and a mildly depressed cat mourning the loss of her canine pal - to fester while we spent two weeks in a presidential hometown in the upper U.S.
We saw family.
And old friends.
We even met some new ones.
During the course of two weeks we had many laughs, however the best came on the last day of the recreational program at KBIA. We stayed past swim lessons so Ittybit could take part in open swim.
The Champ wasn't interested. No amount of convincing could get him back in the water.
"No. No. I'm not swimming. Nope. Not going in. Not swimming."
He was content watching from the sidelines and eating his bag of chips from the snack bar.
He noticed his swim instructor had removed her sweatshirt and was getting into the pool.
To swim with another little kid his age.
"I'm going swimming now!"
Just in time.
Even with all the excitement (and the anxiety that comes with it), I have to admit It feels good to be back home.

Obituary for the Old Barkley Times
Madeline J. Dog, 113.75 in dog years, was suddenly called home to snarfel the big beach in the sky on Wednesday, July 27, 2011.
Born on a Columbia County farm in mid-April of 1995, Maddy Jerk Monkey Hose Dog, as she was affectionately called by family and friends, was the smallest and quite possibly the homeliest of a large, multi-generational family.
Her mother, whom she knew only briefly, was a black Labrador-mix and was whispered to be the canine predecessor of the OctoMom. Her father, whom she never met, was known as That Bastard Who Got Over the Fence. Both have reportedly returned to the breeding ground in the sky.
Madeline is survived by her adoptive family: Siobhan, her adoptive mother; Jed, some guy who never formally signed the paperwork and always referred to her as "YOUR DOG IS BEING A JERK"; Annabel, a foster sister, who misses her but kinda wants a puppy; and Silas, a foster brother, who would feed her from his plate accidentally on purpose.
She is also survived by a cat, Ariel, who was a late-in-life friend and not entitled to bragging rights.
Madeline was predeceased by at least one sibling, a direcl litter-mate named Chester, who, became affluent in adoption and who, in the early years, was reunited occasionally with his sister by way of dog-sitting. He was tragically struck and killed by a car in his prime. The motorist was never located, however there was some question as to whether Chester bore some culpability in his own untimely death, as he was rumored to have been a car chaser.
She was also predeceased by an adopted sibling, Maggie Dog, who was her dearest and closest canine pal for more than a decade.
She often referred to herself as "one member of a two-dog wolf pack."
Madeline was estranged from her remaining siblings.
She bore no children, a credit to her natural abilities of entertainment.
Also ... the result of spaying.
Madeline was educated in the style of 4-H Obedience (Method trained) and won praise for her recitals of limited runs. She never flaunted her abilities outside the spotlight, however, refusing most performance requests.
Her favorite pastimes were playing with her Squeaky Nun toy, drinking out of the toilet, begging for food, stealing food not quickly provided to her, knocking over small children and licking pants.
She was a lover of balls, sticks and playing fetch. She refused to "drop it."
She enjoyed yearly trips to Maine, where she loved to romp on the beach and chase after dogs owned by former presidents of the United States. She also liked to reinforce the point that she would not perform (nor would she "drop it") for the Secret Service. Luckily, she was never harmed as a result of these hystrionics.
She especially enjoyed trips in the car to just about anywhere ... the grocery store ... around the block ... the end of the driveway. Anywhere except the vet. In her youth, she would curl up in the back window of her adoptive mom's old, Civic hatchback. People from all over the country would wave and laugh as they drove by. Her mom couldn't see them, however, as Madeline was a large dog and often would block the rear views.
She also enjoyed watching the opening sequence of "The Slaves of New York," a movie based on a Tama Janowitz novel and featuring a Dalmatian named "Andrew."
She was also known for barking intermittently, jumping up and running out of rooms for no apparent reason, and other occasional irregularities.
She was not known for her humanitarianism, however she was modest. She didn't like to make a big deal out of staying by the side of people who were in the throes of painful back spasms. She often reveled in looking at them nervously and with undue concern, though she did not like to be known as a "Nervous Nellie."
She would prefer people just forgot she ever cavorted with a cat. That was AFTER she got the cataracts. She truly thought it was a meowing, battery-operated toy one of the foster kids had dragged home.
Near the end of her days, she enjoyed sleeping, eating and pooing, sometimes all at the same time. She also enjoyed barking at her family when they sat out on the porch. They would let her out. She'd want to go back in. Then out. Back in. She wasn't indecisive, she just assumed the family being OUTSIDE was completely unnatural. She wanted them inside, staring at the TV where they belonged.
The end came quickly for Madeline. However, she always liked to keep them guessing. For the past three years she had gained considerable skill at clutching her chest and shouting: "This is the Big One, Elizabeth. I'm comin' to join ya, honey," and then recovering completely.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but she is looking forward to being reunited with her friend and beloved sister, Maggie, so they can relive their kibble days.
A private burial was held after bedtime.
Contributions in lieu of flowers, preferably pigs' ears or some other delicacy based on a dare or bi-product, may be sent to the humane society of your choice.

AS I approached our resort hotel in this northwestern corner of Florida, I wondered if I'd taken a wrong turn. The architectural style and soft peach stuccoed exterior seemed to say Bermuda, but the hospitable manner in which I was greeted was definitely Deep South. ``Welcome to Bay Point, ma'am. We're glad you're here.''
And I, for my part, was glad to be at Marriott's Bay Point Resort, near Panama City Beach. My husband had arrived earlier to check out the golf courses. I checked out the resort's spacious lobby, from which the surrounding peninsula was in full view through the three-story-tall Palladian windows. The scene of the marshes, sailboats, a strip of white sand beach, emerald green water, and a nearby island made me reluctant to leave this hub of activity for our accommodations in the newer expansion.
Bay Point Yacht and Country Club was already a popular vacation spot when Marriott came in last year to expand and enhance it, making it the 22nd of Marriott's world-class resorts. The American Automobile Association has given its ``four diamond'' seal of approval to this resort, which includes 450 hotel, villa, and suite accommodations, 12 tennis courts, five pools, and a full-service 145-slip marina, on 1,100 acres. The diversity here attracts families as well as groups for conventions. Our villa bordered the golf course and provided a private balcony from which we enjoyed spectacular Florida sunsets.
Bay Point is a wholly contained community. Its five restaurants, four lounges, two clubhouses, and retail shops definitely kept me on the peninsula. A stroll on the private beach and a dip in the Gulf provided even more of an incentive to spend all my time at the Point. In addition, the beach was an excellent vantage point from which to observe boat departures to nearby Shell Island, a paradise of sea oats and sand dunes. Other on-site activities included children's programs and schools for sailing and golf.
Those who want to develop sailing skills will have sea stories to savor after enrolling in Steve Colgate's Offshore Sailing School. The Sunday-to-Sunday course begins at $884 and includes double-occupancy accommodations in the hotel or the lakeside or fairway villas. By the time certificates are awarded at the graduation dinner, new sailors are well versed and experienced in the art of sailing. Shorter courses are available; also classes in racing and sailmaking.
These other activities and the grand style of the resort were mere lagniappe for my avid golfer spouse. Golf was why we were there. Since we'd played the original course, Club Meadows, on a previous trip, it was golf on the Lagoon Legend, designed by Bob von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. The new $4 million-plus course exceeded our expectations. The 7,080-yard, par-72 course is one of only three in Florida to feature lush bent-grass greens.
Hole No. 13 encompasses a six-acre swamp reached by a walkway; Holes 16 and 17 border water. In total, water comes into play on 12 holes. The 18th hole is especially difficult. Golfers have to shoot over the lagoon to a fairway - then back to the mainland, where the green perches on the edge of the Grand Lagoon. Golf pros tout the course as ``a shotmaker's dream.'' Since my game of golf would not be recognized by a pro, their dream became my nightmare.
The course should be analyzed before playing. We quickly discovered why Bay Point has developed the advertising theme ``A monster lurks at Lagoon Legend.'' Golf package rates are lowest during winter season, Nov. 1-March 30.
I found time to look into another aspect of the resort, the Bay Point Yacht Club Marina. Harbormaster Scott Burt said that up to 100-foot yachts can be berthed at Bay Point, the largest private yacht marina on the Gulf Coast. Full-service amenities are available at the marina, within walking distance of the resort.
Boaters heading south are using America's newest river, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The Tenn-Tom is navigable, safe, and scenic. It's a major project of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The waterway is a connecting artery between the Ohio, upper Mississippi, and Tennessee Rivers. Tenn-Tom bypasses the busy lower Mississippi River, cutting hundreds of miles off the trip south. The waterway ends at Mobile, Ala., an eight-hour yacht trip from Bay Point.
If you go
Marriott's Bay Point Resort provides shuttle service from Panama City's airport. Air passengers are served by Atlantic Southeast/Delta, Eastern Metro, and Continental Express. Write the resort, at 100 Delwood Beach Road, Panama City, FL 32407, for more details. Telephone (904) 234-3307 (within Florida) or 800-874-7105 outside the state. For boating brochures and navigation charts on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, call the Development Authority at (601) 328-0812.

Michael Berkeley
"Berkeley's detailed and inventive score fizzed in frequent and sustained collision with the emotional charge of Rilke's verse"
Guy Dammann, The Guardian
"it bristles with wit and lyricism, while giving other composers and librettists a lesson in how to drape operatic tradition in modern clothes"
Andrew Clark, Financial Times
"Berkeley's imaginative orchestration holds the attention throughout"
George Hall, The Guardian
"Cerebral, sometimes belligerent, though lightened with lyrical flights and delicate colours, it resounded splendidly through the Albert Hall."
Geoff Brown, The Times
Michael Berkeley was born in 1948, the eldest son of the composer Sir Lennox Berkeley and a godson of Benjamin Britten. As a chorister at Westminster Cathedral, singing naturally played an important part in his early education.
He studied composition, singing, and piano at the Royal Academy of Music but it was not until his late twenties, when he went to study with Richard Rodney Bennett, that Berkeley began to concentrate exclusively on composing. In 1977 he was awarded the Guinness Prize for Composition; two years later he was appointed Associate Composer to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Since then Berkeley's music has been played all over the globe and by some of the world's finest musicians.
His work has been commissioned and performed by artists including Andre Previn, Sir Colin Davis, Mstislav Rostropovich, Heather Harper, John Harle, Nicholas Daniel, Huddersfield Festival, Cheltenham Festival, London Symphony Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales (where he was Composer in Association for three years), Carducci Quartet and Nash Ensemble. His music is regularly heard at the BBC Proms, where his commissions have included large-scale works The Garden of Earthly Delights, Songs of Awakening Love and Concerto for Orchestra.
He has composed three operas; Baa Baa Black Sheep, premiered in 1993 and based on the childhood of Rudyard Kipling; Jane Eyre, his second collaboration with David Malouf, which has been produced in the UK, Australia and America; and most recently For You written to a libretto by Ian McEwan and commissioned by Music Theatre Wales which was also recorded by Signum Classics.
Berkeley's significant orchestral work, much of his chamber music and his operas, is available on CD as part of the Chandos Berkeley Edition.
He has been was Artistic Director of the Cheltenham International Music Festival, where he premiered over a hundred new works and initiated a policy of having a contemporary work in every programme, built the music programme for the Sydney Festival in Australia for three years and, with Judith Weir and Anthony Payne, jointly directed the Spitalfields Festival. He has, for several years, been the featured composer for the New York Philharmusica. He currently presents Radio 3's Private Passions, which won the Broadcasting Press Guild's Radio Programme of the Year Award in 1996, and for nine years was Chairman of the Governors of The Royal Ballet until 2012.
Michael Berkeley was made a CBE for services to music in the Queen's Birthday Honours published on June 16th 2012 and was appointed a non-party political member of the House of Lords in 2013.

'Haiku' World Premiere, performed by pianist Clare Hammond
Presteigne Festival, August 2016
Michael Berkeley's Haiku took the form of a series of sharply etched vignettes inspired by the contrasting movement of various birds encountered in the Welsh Marches. Astutely arranged, these glinting shards of material juxtaposed darting, hyperactive explosions of sound with more measured activity, ominously loitering.
Musical Opinion
Clarion Call – Music for Septet and Octet
Berkeley Ensemble, Resonus Classics (March 2014)
The disc opens with the newest work, Michael Berkeley' s 2013 Clarion Call and Gallop for septet which was written specially for the Berkeley Ensemble... A high spirited and buoyant piece, it has a very distinctive texture with much high clarinet writing against spikier textures from the other instruments with the whole having a lovely transparency and airiness, combined with a very strong character.

Into the Ravine
Carducci Quartet ,Signum Classics CD (February 2014)
A study in the varied colours available from oboe and string quartet, reaching an intense unified climax.
Anthony Burton, BBC Music Magazine
Michael Berkeley's finely wrought Oboe Quartet (2012) – a single movement spanning 18 minutes – is texturally transparent and plangent in expression.

For now, it's back to regular programming for me----This means playing catch up with the work load that I've left behind.
Special thank you to my wedding partners, friends and family who have made our big day the best it could ever be. I am especially touched by those who flew in from across the country (and world!) just to celebrate with us!
Honestly speaking, I've never been this happy in my life. THANK YOU.
Be back soon!
