Want to know a secret about British castles? They really are the stuff of your wildest dreams. Dramatically situated, packed with history and scattered throughout the land, there's a castle for you whatever your particular interest. Here's a look at some of our famous British castles.
Capital Castles
British capital cities are all home to very different, very special British castles. The Tower of London would be merely a world-class castle were it not for the presence of the Crown Jewels, ravens and its thousand-year-old history. Edinburgh Castle rewards the wander up the Royal Mile. Cardiff Castle's Victorian renovation turned a medieval pile into something altogether more spectacular. But what makes these castles special is that they're part of a bigger heritage you can explore all over Britain. Don't miss them, but make sure they're not the only castles you collect on your way round the country.
The Best British Castle You've Never Heard Of
As one of the less famous British castles hotspots, Northumberland is a castle-buffs heaven, with over a dozen imposing fortresses paying testimony to the centuries of border tension with Scottish neighbours. Dunstanburgh Castle's remoteness ensures it's less heralded than most British castles, and yet this stunning ruin, only accessible on foot, is surely one of the nation's most atmospheric. Pack a warm jacket and boots and make a day of hiking along the coast from the fishing village of Alnwick, itself home to a fine British castle.
As Seen on TV
Eilean Donan Castle can come as a shock. Having driven, walked or cycled for hours, you can't escape the feeling that you've been here before. The remote fortress has featured in many films and TV shows, most notably Highlander and James Bond's The World Is Not Enough. As dramatically situated and visually stunning in real life as on film, Eilean Donan is an essential pause on the way to Skye or the northwest Highlands.
Volunteer at a Castle
The heyday of castle building went out with the era of swords and armour, but you can still get involved in the modern life of castles in Britain. The National Trust and National Trust for Scotland offer working holidays on a variety of properties, including castles. Other castles all over Britain recruit summer workers, both paid and unpaid so if your heart's set on one place, contact them directly.
Most Haunted British Castles
British castles wouldn't be the same without tales of rattling chains, blood-curling screams and headless horsemen. Glamis Castle in central Scotland claims to be the most haunted, though Northumberland's Chillingham has an equal claim to the title. Both are home to ghost stories by the dozen and regular spooky sightings. But visit any castle during winter or on a stormy night and you'll think each keep, tower and dungeon is home to an unhappy spirit.
Sleep in a British Castle
Fancy a night in a haunted castle? No problem - historic houses all over Britain throw open their doors to paying guests. Try Gloucestershire's Thornbury Castle or to truly sleep like a king, Warwickshire's Studley Castle. For something special though, try the Landmark Trust . They offer weekends and longer stays in historic buildings - not just castles but towers, pavilions and cottages of architectural and historic importance. They even have a 250-year-old pineapple-shaped house in Scotland.
Welsh Wonders
Wales has more castles per head than anywhere else in the world. British Castle junkies should aim for north Wales, where the coast and hills are packed with dramatic fortifications. Conwy, Harlech and Beaumaris are the best known, but castle connoisseurs will direct you to Denbigh, Ewloe and Criccieth. And if you need a change of scenery, there's the small matter of Snowdonia National Park or a day on the beach in Llandudno or Rhyl. For a full rundown of Wales' castles, check out the Visit Wales castles pages.
Castles for Kids
The clash of swords, rumble of jousting knights and shrill cry of falcons still rings out from castles across Britain - and the kids will love it. Two of the best places where kids can pick up some tips on the art of chivalry are Warwick Castle and Leed's Royal Armouries, but you'll never find a castle without dingy dungeons and a ghost story or two to delight junior visitors.
Not Quite Castles - But Don't Miss Them
Not every graceful heap of stones you stumble on qualifies as a castle. Many of Britain's most dramatic historic sites were abbeys, swept away by Henry VIII's soldiers during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Fountains and Riveaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire and Wales' Tintern Abbey are unmissable sights on a historic tour of Britain. And Britain's stately homes - the later incarnations of castles - can help fill in the historical gaps between the Middle Ages and the present day. Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire and Chatsworth in Derbyshire are two of the finest.

This was the second Putco Punch Grill I have installed, one for 06 GMC Yukon which was so easy to install and it transformed the front end look altogether so I ordered the second one for my 05 Ford Mustang. It was alittle harder to install this one with having to drill 4 small holes in the existing black plastic grill but it was well worth it. The finished look adds just the right touch to the front end. Thanks

Following the end of the Civil War, both black and white Floridians faced enormous political, social, and economic changes. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments brought a measure of political equality, which unfortunately would not last after the end of Reconstruction. African-Americans in Florida and the other states of the former Confederacy also faced economic challenges in the transition from slavery to a free market economy. In these southern states, a system of compensated labor was instituted in which many newly-freed slaves remained on plantations, often still run by their old owners, and agreed to work the crops in a manner similar to the pre-war years. As freedmen, however, they would receive a salary, or payment in the form of a percentage of the crop. Under provisions enacted by the state legislature, legal contracts were drawn up and signed by both laborer and planter. Overseeing these agreements were agents from the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, a government agency established to assist freedmen in the aftermath of emancipation.
A number of Freedmen's Contracts from this period survive in the collections of the State Archives of Florida. They are contained in a large collection of court records from Jefferson County, which is located just to the east of Tallahassee. Captain Alfred B. Grunwell served as the Freedmen's Bureau agent for Jefferson County from 1866 until the abolishment of the agency three years later. Negotiating labor contracts and settling subsequent disputes took up much of Grunwell's time. According to historian Jerrell Shofner, "[t]here were obvious cases of planters trying to cheat their employees, just as there were cases where recalcitrant freedmen tried to renege on their agreements. But there were also many genuine misunderstandings which required concessions by both sides."(1) Because few freedmen were literate, it was easy for them to be taken advantage of in written contracts. Many African-Americans also claimed that the written contracts were not the same as the earlier oral agreements upon which they were based. The agreement reproduced here was between Jefferson County planter S.B. Alexander and thirteen black laborers. The freed men and women agreed to "labor faithfully" on Alexander's Elbo Plantation, in exchange for rations and one-third of the cotton, corn, peas, and potatoes produced on the plantation. Laborers who became ill would have to pay for their rations, and white overseers would maintain discipline and settle disputes. Several types of farm tenancy such as this developed in the South during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with the end result being the economic subjugation of many African Americans.

- Finding Revitalize in WWS Parses
- Energy Gains per Class - Vortex Raid 7/21/09
- Comparisons
- Conclusions
Rambly Intro
Last night (July 21, 2009) was a good raid. DPS was overall spot-on, and we did Hodir hardmode with 15 seconds left on the clock, not to mention finally bursting through Thorim hardmode without a bloodlust. Kitarha (DK) was trying out a new frost spec (he's normally blood), and I had to pull out my Enchanted Broom to mop up the puddles of drool left by the ret pally and feral druid once they realized that they had imp icy talons.
I also haven't caught up on all the sleep I missed out on last week while helping run the camp, so I was a little loopy. I vaguely remember having a dance party at some point, running into Hodir with an army of Giant Sewer Rats, the prot pally and priest throwing cascades of flower petals at each other, a group of us giggling with the alliance players of Factum non Lacuna, having a Roflwolf look-alike contest (Roflwolf is our hunter's pet), and putting Abolish Poison on a couple people to reassure them that my cooking (the Fish Feast) wouldn't poison them.
It's been a while since I last looked at my numbers for revitalize, so I pulled up the wws report from last night and took a peek through.
Revitalize 3.1 and Log Parses
Revitalize is now much more difficult to numerically look at in a per-cast breakdown, if reverse-engineering from collected raid data. It can proc off of both Rejuvenation and Wild Growth, which are not recorded in the combat log as "casts," but as "gains" of the HoT: and with Wild Growth, any given cast may hit between 1 and 6 players (if glyphed)... as well as pets, summoned minions, mind controls, and even some few "vehicles" such as the trash to Mimiron.
The best sources we can go on to find revitalize's worth are to look at the raw data from combat logs, organized by sources such as WoWwebstats. If your raid has a webstats report up, you can find this data by browsing Abilities -> Energy -> Revitalize to see the full, consolidated list of how much total energy every player in your raid received from the procs. In the case of shapeshifting druids who collect energy, rage, and mana, you can go to their individual page and look at their Energies & Dispells tab to see the full breakdown of what they received.
|Remember that the larger your raid, the more your casts will be spread out among the group; in turn, the more druids in your raid that have revitalize, the more raiders will benefit. Thus, the percent breakdowns you may find for each individual player in your raid will vary based on group makeup, size, and additional talents or abilities your group may have, as well as how often your group feels the need to cast things like innervate, mana pots, mana tide, arcane torrent, and hymn of hope.
That said, let's take a look at my ten-man raid from last night.
Energy Gains Per Class
(Click to view fullsize)
The revitalize sections are colored in bright blue.
>25%: Revitalize is a large part of the (non-natural) energy gains for Cat Druids, DKs (even those with Butchery!), and Warriors, making at least a quarter or more of their power gains. This will, in turn, increase their dps and (for the prot warrior) threat. We can assume that rogues will receive a similar benefit as cat druids do, a safe assumption since I have looked at a rogue in our ten-man before (just didn't document it on the blog).
>9%: Revitalize did make up a significant chunk of the mana regen for the resto druid (myself) and the mage. The mage did not use arcane torrent as often as our priest, however. As for myself, lifebloom blooms were the vast majority of my mana regen, followed closely by replenishment; overall, revitalize does make up a great majority of my own passive mana regen. Granted, I did not have to cast innervate on myself much last night; those druids that are having mana difficulties will most likely find their innervate use outstrips their percent returns from revitalize.
<9%: I suspect the reason why it did not make up more of the priest's mana regen was because our priest regularly used Arcane Torrent to return mana to herself; the warlock in turn had lifetap. As for the hunter, ret pally, and prot pally, each had several more significant sources of mana return ranging from judgement of wisdom, spiritual attunement, arcane torrent, divine plea, viper, etc.
Percents vs Raw Numbers:
Looking at the raw mana numbers, I saw that similar amounts of mana were returned to the lock, mage, priest, and prot pally by revitalize; the hunter and ret pally received less raw mana off of revitalize over the night than those players. It is also important to note that revitalize will return a percent of the players' base mana: those with larger mana pools will recieve more mana per proc than those with smaller mana pools (such as hunters, enh shaman, and ret pallies).
The prot pally was our MT, so she was rarely without rejuv proccing away at her mana; thus, despite her relatively small mana pool, she recieved more mana overall than did the hunter or ret pally.
Variation in the revitalize procs and percent of total power regen is based on:
- How often I heal them
- In turn, how often they take damage that makes me heal them
- Size of target's mana pool
- Target's usual distance from the rest of the group (in range to catch WG splashes?)
- Proportion of resto druids in the raid with revitalize, compared to raid size
- How bored I get (and thus start throwing moonfire & hurricane rather than rejuv & WG)
- Whether the player has and uses Arcane Torrent
- What other tools that class/spec has to regen their power, and how often they use them
- Other mana sources available in the raid
Revitalize provides a nice background power regen for a raid with druids who make regular use of rejuvenation and wild growth in their healing. It often matches the power returns of Judgement of Wisdom and Mana Tide totems, though each raid and individual player will vary in how much it seems in comparison to their other power regeneration abilities. There are fewer abilities to restore rage, energy, and runic power, however, so to those classes without mana, revitalize is a particular blessing!
Your raid will benefit from the procs gained just through your normal healing. However, if you find your raid is not taking much damage and you have plenty of time and mana to spare, you can select individuals of your raid to cast on specifically to grant them revitalizes' power procs, effectively converting your mana (and a small mana cost at that, if you have Spark of Hope and Idol of Awakening) into power for your dps classes.
I have habit of making sure that non-mana users get rejuvs when I have plenty of mana and GCDs to spare, because it will increase their overall dps by giving them more energy/rage/runic power to play with. Mana users, on the other hand, vary greatly in whether or not they really need your rejuvs, and should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Things to keep in mind when giving out spare revitalize-proccing rejuvs:
- Is the target actively using their energy? If any player is sitting with a full bar of power already, extra procs of power won't likely be used.
- Is the group not in combat yet? Warriors and DKs and bears start with zero, and can use the procs for power in gaining threat or getting off early attacks/interrupts. Cats and rogues start with full energy, so there's little reason to give them a rejuv before combat starts.
- Most mana users have plenty of other alternatives to replenish their mana, so they will rarely need your gift of 1% mana procs. You are more likely to give an innervate than rely on revitalize procs to regen an OoM friend if you're at a point where the raid's not taking much damage, since it means that your own mana is probably quite safe and you don't need to hoard your innervate for yourself.
- Prot pallies who aren't taking much damage are not, in turn, regenning much mana through their Spiritual Attunement. If they are tanking, they should have a rejuv on them regardless, imo, but do keep in mind that your rejuvs and WGs can proc them back some mana even if it's not healing damage!

This is insane driving: A woman hit the median of a freeway, went airborne with her car, had the car roll over four times until she was was ejected from her seat and thrown onto the roof. Somehow, she's alive.
Police say that alcohol was a factor in this crazy driving escapade which only left her with non-life threatening injuries. After the crash—can it be called just a crash?—the woman gathered herself and tried to walk away from the accident. Yeah, that didn't really work.
Paramedics took her to the hospital to treat her injuries and police are still investigating this straight-from-the-movies crash. I just don't know how people who drink and drive survive these wicked crashes they get in. Thankfully and miraculously, no one else was hurt. [WBAY]

Flight attendants protest new policy on knives
WASHINGTON (AP) - The vice president of a flight attendants union says a new policy that would allow airline passengers to carry small knives is "outrageous."
Sara Nelson, vice president of the Association of Flight Attendants, says they have to deal with "unruly passengers every day." She says flight attendants are an aircraft's "last line of defense," and says the new rule puts them "in a much more dangerous position."
On Tuesday the Transportation Security Administration announced a policy change that would allow airline passengers to carry small knives, souvenir baseball bats, golf clubs and other sports equipment onto planes, beginning next month.
Appearing Thursday on NBC's "Today," Nelson said the policy change "cannot stand." She says even small knives can be deadly weapons.

Initially I will use two different sensors for obstacle avoidance. lidar for closer range 2D image of space (obscale avoidance, scanning ground before landing, maybe SLAM)
and laser rangefinder for long range 1D distance sensing (looking for high buildings, maintaining altitude precisely, maybe high speed obstacle avoidance)
I went with cheapo robopeak hobby lidar, which seems to work well, here is a git repo for the library (node and beaglebone) (I also considered a lightweight hokuyo lidar) and for laser range finder I'll go with something like SF02 from paralax
these might be used in combination with some simple IR or just cameras (need more CPU but could double as optical flow sensors) used to locate becaons for landing or grabbing things
Ideally, both sensors should have an unobstructed front view on pitch dimension, with aditional unobstructed jaw dimension for LIDAR. Both sensors need to be able to independantly rotate on pitch axis for compensation of the angle of the drone when flying, and for scanning up and down (going in through windows, looking down when landing, etc) maybe rangefinder should also rotate on jaw axis on some fast servos for looking around independant of the drone orientation. not sure yet.
IR and ultrasound were also options, they are cheap but tricky and unreliable, (ultrasound behaves extra badly due to propeller noise on drones) These things can be compensated for, but laser rangefinding will always afaik give more accuracy and reliability at a price.

With just three days until Manchester City jet out on the pre-season tour of the US, the transfer rumour mill is intensifying...
Familiar defensive names feature, plus there's a word on a young City striker making waves in Europe..
But first to one of the most highly rated players in the game, Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe, who has again been linked with City, this time by journalist Graham Hunter.
"Real Madrid, meanwhile, are wooing Mbappe's agents saying they will break the transfer record for this kid. Zidane, of course, has known Mbappe since he was 14," Hunter told Sky Sports.
"The battle is with Manchester City and they are persuasive and Mbappe is now thinking long and hard between London, Madrid, Paris and now Manchester. City are in that battle.
"At the moment it's hard to see him choosing Monaco over one of those, but none of clubs know who is favourite to sign this exceptional 18-year-old."
A number of news outlets have reported that City are closing on a move for Tottenham defender Kyle Walker, while another defender features - not for the first time - across the papers and pixels.
A report on Sporting Life reads: "City are also said to have been tracking Monaco left-sided defender Benjamin Mendy.
"The France international, who helped Monaco win Ligue 1 last season and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, is reported to be valued at around £40million."
Watch Sane's amazing banana shot from training below!
Away from the transfer window, the Manchester Evening News carries a piece on young City forward Lukas Nmecha.
Simon Bajkowski reported: "Lukas Nmecha was a relieved man after his last-minute goal helped England into the final of the Under-19 European Championships.
"The Manchester City teenager came on as a substitute against the Czech Republic and missed a brilliant chance set up by club teammate Isaac Buckley-Ricketts as the game approached injury time.
"But he improvised moments later with a clever backheel to send the Young Lions through to a final with Portugal.
"'I took my chance when I got it, the second one," he said.
"'It was just a relief, I tried to forget about it [the first chance] as quickly as I could and I could feel a chance coming.
"'Everyone was encouraging me, saying we'd get another chance, which we did and I took it! I've never scored in the 90th minute before, so it's probably the most important goal I've scored.'"
Watch this space...

ARLINGTON, Tex. – They were playing this week to decide the meaning of next week, and it's now clear that it will be winner take all when the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys meet for the NFC East title. The next question for the Redskins is, which outfit should they scout with the playoffs on the line: the Cowboys who can't solve the riddle of their dazzling but often fatally confused personality, or the terrifying Cowboys who know exactly who they are?
Do you expect the perplexing, dumbfounding Cowboys who suffered yet another upset loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in overtime, 34-31? Or the touchdown-a-minute monsters who almost won a game that seemed unwinnable? Do you plan for the team that can look like a still life? Or the one that can leave you thunderstruck with feats like two touchdowns in the final 3 minutes 35 seconds against the Saints?
Do you expect the strangely complacent team that allowed the Saints to possess the ball for a staggering 41:59 out of more than 64 minutes? Or do you brace for the biting, snap-jawed team that is never, ever out of a game with Tony Romo, who threw for 416 yards and four touchdowns and can make so much happen in such a short period of time? Their late fourth-quarter drives took just 1:10 and 1:14, respectively, the second one ending with Romo's 19-yard zing to Miles Austin on fourth and 10 with just 15 seconds remaining to force overtime.
"We had a lot of good plays," Romo said. "But we didn't get off the field on third down, and didn't stay on the field enough on third down, and that's not a good recipe. . . .We didn't make a play or two that can determine it."
What a confounding job it will be for the Redskins to game-plan against these Cowboys, who can't figure out whether they are giants or giant underachievers. There is no way to predict what they will get from the slope-shouldered, ambling Romo, so alternately easy and predatory. Or that stealth bomber Dez Bryant, who is either explosive or totally silent.
Against the Saints, the Cowboys had only 18 plays in the first half and held the ball for all of 8:12 — that's it. Yet on two of those plays Romo and Bryant combined on, get this, consecutive 58-yard scoring strikes in the second quarter, Bryant creating such distance from the Saints' cornerbacks that he practically soft-shoed his way into the end zone.
The Cowboys are in so many ways a physically loaded team with potential game breakers everywhere you look. Yet they are also a nicked-up, hurting team with a patchwork defense. One minute, DeMarco Murray runs like a threshing machine — on his first carry of the game lowered his helmet and literally laid out Saints linebacker David Hawthorne. Yet they are capable of forehead-smacking lulls. In the third quarter their drive chart read like this: a field goal, a three-and-out, a Murray fumble and a punt.
"We obviously messed up a few chances that we had," Austin said.
All season, the Cowboys have struggled to string together long possessions. Coming into Sunday, they had produced only 19 drives of 10 plays or more, the second-fewest in the NFL. What that suggests is that they tend to over-rely on Romo and big strikes, and they lack consistent execution. Despite their playmakers, they have a mysterious inability to grind and wear out the opposition. They can sting, but they don't punish.
It was that inability to sustain that hurt them against the Saints, and that the Redskins will undoubtedly study closely in the coming week. After their heroics to get to overtime, the Cowboys won the coin toss and should have been in control of their fate. Yet they couldn't accomplish anything except to get Jason Witten a new record: with two short catches, he broke the NFL's all-time single-season record for catches by a tight end (103) passing Tony Gonzalez. But the very next play was an incompletion to Bryant on a slant and they punted.
"We felt like we could have done stuff earlier in the game," Witten said. He added: "We felt like we had some momentum coming into the game and those mistakes early on really just cost you towards the end of the game. I just think these games come down to a handful of plays and we've seen it really the entire season but especially this year. When we've been able to make those plays, we win these games. When you're playing those tight situations, you've got to come from behind. Sometimes it's too big of an obstacle."
The problem with the Cowboys' habit of squandering is that it leaves them vulnerable to bad breaks when it counts. And a bad break is what they got in overtime, when Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne punched the ball loose from Saints wide receiver Marques Colston only to have it skitter a full 20 yards forward, where the Saints' Jimmy Graham fell on it on the 2-yard line, setting up Garrett Hartley's game-winning 20-yard field goal.
"It's tough. This team fights," defensive lineman Marcus Spears said. "We just believe it's not over until it's over and to actually have the opportunity to win the game and not get it done, it stings a lot, especially with what we're playing for."
It was the third game in a row in which Cowboys have had their fate decided on the final play. Yet we, and they, are no closer to understanding what kind of team they are. They remain a cipher at 8-7, a mystery opponent capable of anything.

|Comic Mischief
by Shelby Reiches
Super Monkey Ball began life as a stand-up arcade title, simply called "Monkey Ball." It was also one of the first titles to come out on non-SEGA hardware after they went multiplatform in the wake of the Dreamcast's demise and, to date, one of their most successful experiments from that early era. What other SEGA series has been so consistently successful so as to be a shoe-in on whatever new hardware plops down on the block? It's had entries on the GameCube, the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, original Xbox, Nintendo DS, the Wii, and even a 3D entry on Nintendo's latest handheld, the 3DS (there were also a couple of iOS versions in there somewhere).
Now it's coming to the PlayStation Vita. This should be a natural fit. But why do I say that?
The premise of the Super Monkey Ball series is akin to 8-bit classic Marble Madness, in which players would direct a marble as it navigated obstacle-laden levels. In Super Monkey Ball, though, players don't directly control the monkey in the ball, but the level through which it rolls. These levels take the form of obstacle courses filled with bananas, enticing players to not only navigate the difficult loops, slants, and ramps, while avoiding falling off, but to do so while skirting close enough to the edge to pick up precariously placed potassium-enriched fruit. It's a hard knock life for AiAi and his primate companions.
The Vita is a natural fit for such things because it has a gyroscopic sensor built in (and doesn't have the angle-based viewing pratfall to which the 3DS so often falls prey). Tilting the system to control the stage is very similar to tilting a Wii remote to accomplish the same, which was exactly how Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz controlled, and that one was sublime (the balance board-based sequel was less so). That said, those who find the tilt controls frustrating or unwieldy can rest easy: the developers are promising that the game will also allow one to control it with the Vita's sticks.
Super Monkey Ball games aren't just about their core gameplay, though. It's certainly the focus, but recent entries have been loaded with optional minigames that tend to take advantage of a system's more esoteric features. Banana Blitz, in particular, had dozens of minigames that used the motion controls and IR pointing with varying degrees of success. The vast majority, though, felt tacked on, a waste of gamers' time, and the value of that vast selection was subsequently diminished.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz aims to avoid that pitfall by condensing its selection down into eight minigames, which will most likely utilize the Vita's various features, including its touchscreen and (presumably) rear touch-panel in what will hopefully be unique and engaging ways.
Perhaps more interesting than that, though, is the potential of Super Monkey Ball's first Augmented Reality functionality (and one of the first such implementations on the Vita): By taking a picture of a real-world environment, players can have the game fabricate a brand new level for them, based on or inspired by the image that they used. When this was last seen, late last year, it was less than functional, but if it has improved significantly during the game's extended development, it stands as one of the most compelling uses of a handheld console's camera in recent memory. It's certainly a step up from projecting the game on your table or whatever, that's for sure. Levels created in this way can also be shared with others who own the game (and, of course, a Vita).

Super Bowl ads have already kicked off
Super Bowl XLVII Marketing Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, mobile devices all part of winning strategy
The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens won't kick off Super Bowl XLVII until Sunday afternoon, but the annual blitz of TV advertising on the big game has already begun.
Extending a trend that has coincided with the rise of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and mobile devices, advertisers like Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota, Taco Bell, Century 21, Doritos and Mercedes-Benz have already launched their Super Bowl campaigns online by posting teasers, related contests or full-blown versions of the spots that will air during the game.
Some, like one of Volkswagen's "Get Happy" spots, and another featuring supermodel Kate Upton getting a Mercedes-Benz CLA washed, are already generating thousands of views - as well as controversy.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
But generating buzz any way possible is the name of the game in advertising. And this year more than ever, that means getting it going before and during the game as well as after the final whistle blows.
Advertisers are "still using the Super Bowl as that 'big bang,' but what they're trying to do is extend the life of it," said Robert Tuchman, president of Goviva, a New York sports and entertainment marketing firm. "You couldn't do that 10 years ago, or even five or six years ago."
Ad evolution
The last time the Niners played for the NFL championship in 1995, the goal for TV advertisers was simpler - get as much mileage as they could out of one 30-second spot costing $1.15 million. The hope: make a lasting impression with viewers and see their ad become the talk of office water-cooler discussions the next day.
Apple's legendary "1984" ad, which aired as the Los Angeles Raiders were winning Super Bowl XVIII, remains the gold standard for spots earning lasting impressions.
But the evolution of YouTube as an online video site, the growing use of mobile devices that are now a required "second-screen" to the TV monitor, and the growing popularity of social media have all drastically changed the game for advertisers, who this year are paying a reported $3.8 million to $4 million per 30-second spot.
Today's strategy: Get people to watch commercials before the game, share them with their friends and family on Facebook and Twitter, and talk about the brands again after the game.
"Anything that keeps the conversation going," said Lucy Farey-Jones, partner and head of strategy for independent ad agency Venables Bell & Partners of San Francisco.
Choosing endings
Venables Bell is the agency behind Audi of America's new Super Bowl spot, which went online Jan. 24. It's a 60-second story of an insecure teen headed to his school prom who becomes emboldened by driving his father's Audi S6. The campaign also asked viewers to vote for one of three endings that will air during the game and include - like most of the commercials this year - tie-ins to Twitter and Facebook. By Tuesday, the video had more than 1.8 million views on YouTube.
A consumer study by Venables Bell backs up the new social-media-based strategy: More than half of Americans will re-watch the commercials, while 40 percent will share them, predominantly through Facebook. About 68 percent of Millennial generation respondents, a key demographic for advertisers, said they planned to share their favorite ad.
The study also said 42 percent planned to search for commercials to watch in the week or two before the Super Bowl, up from 32 percent two years ago. Also, 32 percent said they were likely to discuss the best commercial the next day, as many as said they would likely talk about the game's best play.
Further, 13 percent overall, and 21 percent of Millennials, said they would pay 99 cents to watch the Super Bowl commercials.
Tangentially, the study found that about 28 percent of Super Bowl viewers think they'll have a hangover on Monday. But even that's important to advertisers: Heavier drinkers were far more likely to share their favorite ads on Twitter and Facebook.
VW trailblazer
Two years ago, Volkswagen blazed a trail with pregame ads by posting its clever "The Force" ad, featuring a pint-sized Darth Vader, online four days before the game. The 60-second video went viral in a big way and to date has been viewed more than 56 million times on YouTube.
In context, that's slightly more than half the number of viewers for last year's Super Bowl, which was the most watched U.S. telecast ever with 111.3 million.
So this year, the big rush started last week. Coca-Cola posted a teaser to its "Coke Chase" commercial online on Jan. 22 and invited fans to vote for one of three groups chasing after a big bottle of the soft drink. The campaign ties in Facebook and a Twitter hashtag.
Twitter works with big brands to help them navigate its quirky world of hashtags, nuanced vernacular and quirky messaging rules.
Carmaker Lincoln - whose vehicles are generally seen as appealing to an older crowd - even used Twitter and celebrity firepower from comedian Jimmy Fallon to rebrand itself and build a Super Bowl commercial out of suggestions from Twitter users. That not only helps Lincoln appear more hip and modern but also reinforces Twitter as one of the go-to places when taking the public pulse.
Few tech spots
These days, Apple needs only to spit to gain attention and doesn't need a Super Bowl spot. In fact, only a few tech companies, including E-Trade, Cars. com, Samsung, Research In Motion and perennial GoDaddy.com are on the Super Bowl ad roster.
So barring a last-minute move, like the one Google made two years ago to air its "Parisian Love" search spot, the 49ers will be the only local company on the air during Sunday's game.

We love the idea of a salad topped with chicken and a delicious tomato mixture, but the one at Applebee's is straight-up SILLY. Feast your eyes on our beauteous bowl of greens...
Bruschetta Topping
1 cup chopped plum tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
1/4 cup chopped red onion (about 1/4th of an onion)
2 tbsp. drained and chopped roasted red peppers (packed in water)
2 tbsp. sliced black olives, finely chopped
1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
One 4-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet
Dash each salt and black pepper
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
1 stick light string cheese, cut into coins
2 tbsp. fat-free or low-fat balsamic vinaigrette
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for bruschetta topping and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
Spray a grill pan (or skillet) with nonstick spray, and bring to medium heat on the stove. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the pan. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Once cool enough to handle, slice chicken into strips and set aside.
Place lettuce on a large plate or in a large bowl. Add bruschetta topping and chicken. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping, and top with string cheese coins.
Top or serve salad with dressing. EAT!
Serving Size: 1 salad with dressing (entire recipe) Calories: 360 Fat: 11g Sodium: 988mg Carbs: 26g Fiber: 6.5g Sugars: 12g Protein: 37.5g PointsPlus® value 9* HG FYI: The recipe method of calculating PointsPlus® values counts the carbs, protein, etc., from vegetables -- even those with a value of 0*. If calculated without 0-value vegetables, this recipe has a PointsPlus® value of 6*.
The first question you might ask upon viewing the details of this Applebee's salad: How can a salad topped with grilled chicken and tomatoes be so insanely high in calories and fat? Our answer: The dressing is startlingly high in calories (and has THIRTY grams of fat!), and there are fried scoops of mozzarella on top of the salad. Your next questions (yup, there are more!): Why does this salad have fried mozzarella scoops, and what does fried cheese have to do with bruschetta... or salad? Our answers: We don't know, and nothing at all. When crafting our swap, we kept the cheese but ditched the greasy fried coating. (If you really want a fried-cheese fix, check out our recipe for mozzarella sticks.) And we whipped up our take on a bruschetta topping with lots of flavorful, guilt-free ingredients -- no oil needed. If you plan to visit Applebee's, brush up on what to order with our super-helpful guide. But if you want to enjoy a bruschetta chicken salad, throw together our version at home. The only question you'll be asking yourself after tasting our salad: Why didn't I make this sooner?

Ship wreck
Czech sail training ship La Grace ran ashore during the night of 26.10. at spanish coast near port Marbella. The accident came unexpected in several minutes; the anchor slackened in strong winds and main engine didn't start in time. La Grace hit the rocky shelf, lost her rudder and possibility to steer away from disaster. Waves pushed her against the shallow, where she's now lying, exposed to elements, taking on sand through hole in the hull.
Captain Josef Dvorský, navigator Petr Scheirich, master carpenter Vilém Pavlica – and others who fulfilled our dreams creating this magnificent replica of 18th century brig – are now trying to rescue the ship; a difficult, yet possible achievement. Enemies we face are time and weather. Waves act like hammers, slowly eating away what artisans created.
La Grace was repaired in spanish port of SotoGrande and launched aggain on 6. 8. 2013

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - John Podesta, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, is returning to the White House to advise President Barack Obama as he struggles to regain his footing after the flawed healthcare law rollout, according to a source familiar with the issue.
Podesta steered Obama's transition team in 2008 after he won the presidency. His arrival is a signal that the president, famous for taking advice primarily from a tight-knit group of advisers, is looking for some outside help as he seeks to regain momentum in his second term.
Confirming a report that first appeared in the New York Times, the source said Podesta had agreed to take on the role for a year.
He is the chair of the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning policy group that has close ties to the Obama administration. He is also a former adviser to Tom Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader from whom Obama has inherited other trusted staffers.
Podesta will help Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough, on issues related to the healthcare law, executive orders and climate change.

The 2010 Ford Edge the Blue Oval's midsize crossover, which was first launched in 2006 as a 2007 model and has remained largely the same since its debut save for the launch of the Sport model in 2009.
Offered only as a two-row five-seater, the Edge avoids the pitfall of having an undersized third row. The lack of a barely-fitting third row allows the Edge to offer ample legroom for all occupants plus enough space behind the second row for a good amount of their gear. There are numerous entertainment options plus Ford's now-famous Sync connectivity system.
All-wheel drive is available on most Edge models with a modest fuel-economy hit. Moving to all-wheel drive also exacerbates the front-heavy Edge's weight-problem, which negatively impacts handling. A redesigned Edge is waiting in the wings and aside from new styling inside and out, it will also be available with Ford's EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V-6. With these ready to arrive, dealers should be willing to deal to move 2010 models off their lots.
Bodystyles: SUV
Engines: 3.5L V-6
Transmissions: 6-speed automatic
Models: SE, SEL, Limited, Sport
With a new model waiting in the wings, the 2010 Ford Edge is nearly unchanged save for fuel-economy bumps of 1 mpg city and highway for front-drive models and 2 mpg city/1 mpg highway for all-wheel drive models. Also new is the Limited Interior Appearance Package, which includes Sienna leather upholstery and contrasting stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and shift knob.
All Ford Edge models come with a large chrome grille. Edge SEL and higher models come standard with fog lamps. Wheel sizes range from 17s on SEs to 20s on Sports that can be bumped up to 22s.
Depending on trim, the Edge can be had with a cloth or leather interior. Optional features include a nine-speaker stereo, navigation system, and rear-seat entertainment. Max cargo space is 69.0 cubic-feet with the rear seats folded.
The 2010 Ford Edge's all-aluminum 3.5-liter V-6 makes an adequate 265 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque, but there's no higher-power engine option. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission choice for both front- and all-wheel drive models. The somewhat heavy Edge, especially when fitted with large wheels, handles more like a full-size SUV than a midsize one.
The Ford Edge comes standard with compliment of six airbags, including side-curtain airbags for both rows. Other safety features include four-wheel ABS, stability and traction control, seatbelt pretensioners, and a crash severity sensor.
FWD: 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway
AWD: 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - U.S. Navy sailors aboard a supply vessel acted within rules of engagement last year when they fired on a small boat approaching at high speed off Dubai, killing one Indian fisherman and wounding three others, according to a Navy investigation made public Monday.
The July 2012 incident has been described by Navy officials as "regrettable," but it also highlighted the heightened security to protect vessels following boat-borne blasts such as the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors and the 2004 explosion of a dhow in Persian Gulf that killed three crew members of the USS Firebolt.
The U.S. Navy 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain, has taken steps to expand security escorts for port-bound U.S. ships and worked with Gulf officials to distribute fliers in several languages - including Hindi, Urdu and others common among the region's large South Asian labor force - advising to stay clear of Navy vessels.
There were initially conflicting accounts about whether the USNS Rappahannock, a refueling ship, used warning measures before opening fire on the 15-meter (50-foot) fishing boat, which the Navy said was approaching at speeds above 28 knots (32 mph).
But the Navy investigation said warning shots of .50-caliber tracers were fired as the skiff headed toward the bow of the Rappahannock, about 16 kilometers (10 miles) off Dubai's Jebel Ali port. It also said crew members used a laser device to try to warn the fishing boat.
A gunner aboard the Rappahannock opened fire with the .50-caliber weapon moments before the order to begin "destructive fire," but was deemed within the bounds of "self-defense in response to a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent," the investigation said.
"If I did not fire, I didn't know what kind of damage would have occurred on the ship," the sailor was quoted in the investigation, but he name was blacked out in the copy made public.
The report estimated the fishing boat came within 23 meters (75 feet) of the Rappahannock.
"Due to the high speed and short distances, the entire event occurred in less than two minutes, limiting the ability of the ship to employ other warning methods," said a Navy statement.
But it determined that the boat's fast approach led security teams aboard the Rappahannock "to make a reasonable assessment that the boat represented an imminent threat and was demonstrating hostile intent" and the "use of force was appropriate."
The U.S. has compensated the family of the Indian fisherman killed and given assistance to his three countrymen who were wounded.
But the incident brought diplomatic repercussions with both India and the United Arab Emirates.
Last year, Dubai's police chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, said their initial investigation suggested the fishing boat was "in its right course and did not pose any danger" and described the shooting as an apparent mistake.
The Navy investigation was done without assistance from the UAE.

John Dough Bakery, a locally owned cafe in the Shoppes at University Town Center plaza, has been purchased by local Kilwin's franchisee, Dennis Holly.
The bakery, which has served breakfast and lunch items and sold freshly baked bread at its 8527 Cooper Creek Blvd., location since 2010, will continue operations as normal said new owner, Dennis Holly. Cafe hours may be extended to offer a dinner menu in the future, he said, but the name and menu will remain the same. The store is opened from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Holly owns two Kilwin's locations in the region, on St. Armands Circle and in Venice, with his wife, Jan.
Former owners of John Dough Bakery will continue to bake bread and other goods at a new location outside of the Benderson Development-owned plaza which also houses a Bonefish Grill, Total Wine, and where a Nordstrom Rack will open later this year.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott wants to meet with President Barack Obama to discuss the federal health overhaul, including ways to make expanding the Medicaid rolls and setting up online health exchanges more affordable for states with tight budgets.
The request comes after the Obama administration said Monday that states can do a partial Medicaid expansion but that they wouldn't get the three years of 100 percent federal funding provided under the law. Scott had previously requested to meet with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to discuss his concerns that the law could burden state taxpayers.
"Well it's disappointing that Secretary Sebelius would take that position," Scott told reporters Tuesday. "As you know, my goal was to sit down with her, to understand on the exchanges, how we could do what Floridians want — we need lower healthcare cost, we need to constantly focus on access and quality.
Scott has been a vocal critic of the Affordable Care Act, but softened his position after the election, saying he's open to working with federal health officials to find a solution. But he's repeatedly expressed concerns about the potential costs to Florida taxpayers. Now he's one of several Republican governors who recently sent a letter asking the president to meet with them to discuss ways to make healthcare affordable and accessible.
"We care about those who can't afford their healthcare. We've got to be able to afford a healthcare safety net that our citizens are able to pay for," said Scott, a former healthcare executive.
Florida has two critical decisions to make. Lawmakers must decide whether they will expand Medicaid rolls. Officials estimate close to 900,000 residents could be covered under expanded Medicaid rolls by fiscal year 2020-2021, costing the state $330 million.
They must also choose whether to run their own online health exchange, an online marketplace where residents and small businesses can shop for healthcare coverage. They can also partner with the federal health officials on the exchange or let the feds run it entirely.
Federal officials extended the deadline for states to decide whether they plan to run their own exchanges to Dec. 15.
But Florida's Legislative session doesn't begin until March, and it seems unlikely the state will run its own exchange because it hasn't done the necessary legwork.
A Senate committee charged with overseeing the implementation of the health law had its first meeting just last week and seemed far from making any decisions.
Sen. Joe Negron reminded the committee that the state will spend about $21 billion on Medicaid this year. Medicaid covers nearly 3 million people — about half are children. Lawmakers say it must be overhauled because it's eating up about 30 percent of the state budget.
If Florida lawmakers decide to fully expand their Medicaid rolls, the Obama administration is offering to absorb the cost for the first three years and pick up 90 percent of the tab after that.
Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured rates and some of the most stringent eligibility requirements in the country for Medicaid. A family of three with income of $11,000 a year makes too much and single residents are not covered.

Dry vacuum cleaners
Universal motors are commonly used to drive the fan which produces the air suction.
It is supported by two small single row deep groove ball bearings normally with metal shields. The shields are designed with a special labyrinth to improve sealing capability. Internal radial clearance is optimized to meet the needs of high speed and low vibration. Lubrication consists of grease which can meet the stringent requirements of high speed and high temperature conditions. To improve sealing efficiency flingers can be used which are integrated into the inner ring. This improved resistance to dust ingress is achieved without affecting the speed rating of the bearing.
For very high speeds a special design is needed. This will depend on the specification required and may include customized ball sets together with reduced pitch diameter to reduce the high centrifugal forces involved.
Please contact your SKF application specialist for further information. SKF will be pleased to recommend the most suitable solution to the design requirements.

The release of the final Fallout: New Vegas story add-on, Lonesome Road, is still three weeks away. In the meantime, Bethesda Softworks will be releasing some of the holotapes we might be able to find in the Divide. In these, Ulysses will shed some more light on the Courier's history. Are you excited to finally meet the other, mysterious courier?
"Lonesome Road brings the DLC story arc to a close – events that were first hinted at in New Vegas and Dead Money come to pass, as the last of the DLC cast of characters, Ulysses, reveals himself. For a time, we just introduced him through the perspectives of other characters, a description of another Courier who wore an Old World flag on his back, and in Old World Blues, a mysterious figure who marked his presence through graffiti and holotapes left in the Big Empty. But those holotapes weren't the only recordings. Ulysses carried more on his journey back to the Divide, and used them to chronicle his past and yours. As your Courier will discover in Lonesome Road, these recordings of Ulysses are buried in the wreckage and storms of the Divide. As you walk the road, you'll have a chance to hear the history of the courier who has spent years hunting you down.
You can listen to the first of these recordings here.

Afghanistan protests to Pakistan over border
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan lodged an official protest with Pakistan on Monday after its forces allegedly came under fire along a contested stretch of their border.
Kabul's Foreign Ministry said no one was wounded in the incident, which took took place in the early morning in the same location where a firefight between Afghan and Pakistani forces killed an Afghan border policeman and wounded two Pakistani soldiers last week.
During that incident, a border gate built by Pakistan was damaged in the fighting, and Afghanistan had warned Pakistan not to repair it.
There was no immediate comment from the Pakistani government.
Ties between the two neighbors have been severely strained in recent months, and the mountainous region where the latest shooting took place has seen acrimonious exchanges between the two sides over the demarcation of their border.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai charged last month that Pakistan was setting up a border gate in the Goshta district without asking Kabul's permission. He ordered his ministries of foreign affairs, defense and interior to remove the gate and all installations around it.
It remains unclear how they would do that as Pakistan claims the facility is on its territory. But Afghanistan does not recognize the disputed Durand Line, the 19th century demarcation between present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan as its border. Pakistan accepts the line as the boundary between the two sides.
"Since the Durand Line has been imposed on Afghanistan, it was not acceptable to the Afghans and we cannot accept the Durand Line," Karzai said last week. "No government in Afghanistan will accept the Durand Line."
A Foreign Ministry statement said that the ranking Pakistani diplomat in Kabul was called in and a "strong protest" was lodged "about the unprovoked attack by Pakistani forces that used both heavy and light weapons against Afghan forces near the Durand Line in Goshta district, Nangarhar province this morning."
More than 1,000 people staged an anti-Pakistan demonstration on the outskirts of the capital to protest last week's incident.
The two neighbors often trade accusations that each side is firing across the border, and Pakistan has said in the past that it is targeting insurgents who are seeking to enter its territory.
Afghan accusations that Pakistan is allegedly trying to torpedo efforts to start peace talks with the Taliban have also contributed to deteriorating relations. Both countries have also accused each other of providing shelter for insurgents fighting on the other side of the border.
Also, Afghanistan has been deeply suspicious of the motives of Islamabad, which long backed the Taliban regime and has since seemed unable or unwilling to go after militant leaders taking refuge inside its borders.

Righteous Priest Saint Alexei Mechev
by Fr. Michael Knechten (from http://www.berdyaev.com/berdiaev/knechten/mechev.html)
Alexei Mechev was born on 17 March 1859 in Moscow. After having finished school he intended to become a doctor. But his mother wished to see him as a priest. So he starts by singing in the Church of the Sign (Znamenka). The parish priest of this church, Fr. Giorgii, is frequently cruel and also even beats him. But Alexei endures it all and thinks to himself, this priest serves as his teacher. He says: "Such people see our faults, which we ourselves do not see. They help us to fight against egoism."
In 1884 he married Anna Petrovna Molchanova. In the following years they had six children: Alexandra, Sergei, Petr, Olga, Sofiia and Anna.
On 19 March 1894, Fr. Alexei was ordained and became parish priest in the little church of Saint Nicholas on the Maple/Klennikach on the street Maroseika 5 (near the Metro Kitaigorod). For eight years he celebrated Divine Liturgy in an empty church. That was how long it took, until people finally started coming!
Fr. Alexei began readings in prisons and little restaurants. He gave religious instruction in the Winkler secondary school for girls.
His wife Anna then fell sick. She died on 29 August 1902. Fr. Alexei went to (now Saint) Fr. John (Sergiev) of Kronstadt to speak about his grief. Fr. John said: "Go to the people and share with their grief!"
And now Fr. Alexei became not only father for his own children, but also for all who came to him. He sees them all as his own family. He lives as a "starets" (religious elder) in the world. He follows the path of the Good Shepherd Who goes after the one sheep that is missing (Luke 15:4).
Fr. Alexei was small of stature, baldheaded and had an unkempt beard. His face was marked by the deep, intensive eyes. His riasa (cowl) has yet seen better days. In his little study there are many books, letters, prosphores/loaves on a tray, an epitrachil (priest's stole), a cross and Gospel book. The chaos everywhere shows that this priest has never spare time for himself. Always there is somebody waiting to see him. There come simple persons and those of the Intelligentsia, poor and rich, believers and atheists, persons with good and bad intentions, Orthodox and those of other faith-confessions and religion. Fr. Alexei is open and welcoming to all and he speaks with them for a long while. Others wait on the staircase or on the courtyard which becomes full of water when it's raining. Fr. Alexei is attempts to provide guidance and lead all these different persons on their way. And especially he wants to show them the importance of prayer.
His pastoral secret consists in knowledge of the heart (kardiognosia) and in compassion: People who come to him get the feeling, that he is looking into their inner heart. Fr. Alexei himself has no self-serving egoistic goals. So he is able to distinguish, if a goal is good or bad for a person.
He himself saw a lot of grief. So he has compassion for other people and he carries their burdens (see Gal 6:2). When they leave him, they feel that he is going spiritually with them. His commemoration book (pomiannik) contains hundreds of names. The proskomidia in Liturgy takes a long time, because he makes remembrance of all these names!
He had contact with the starets/elder Anatolii (Potapov, +1922) and the starets/elder Nektarii (Tichonov, +1928) of Opina Pustyn.
Upon seeing the demonstrations of unrest in Moscow in 1905 he weeps, because he foresees the coming misfortune of Russia.
As father-confessor to Nikolai A. Berdyaev, he counselled him, that he must go into exile, so that the world should hear his words.
Sayings of Fr. Aleksii:
(Against envy:) Wish good to all, and thereby you yourself are saved.
Are we right to despise other people?
We cannot bear the privations, grief and woundings of our egoism, and we don't thank the Lord that He lets our spirit grow on this way.
Don't want to realise big projects, but do that to which the Lord calls you.
Make the Christian Way real not with the intellect but with the heart!
Fr. Alexei died on 22 June 1923 in Vereia (west of the city centre of Moscow). His body was uncovered intact (undecayed: a mark of sainthood) in 1934 and laid in a new grave. His son Sergii, born 1892, becomes priest in his father's church of Saint Nicholas. He was himself murdered in 1942.
At the 13-16 August 2000 the Jubilee Synod of the Church of Moscow, Sergei was declared a New Martyr of the eparchy (sobor) of Moscow, and Alexei was canonised into the ranks of the Saints by the Moscow Church. The feastday of Righteous Priest Saint Alexei is on 9/22 June.
Отче Алексие, моли Бога о нас! Fr. Aleksii, Pray God for us!
