Snow-capped mountains and rocky valleys protected by castles and delighted by its mountain traditions and alpine flavours
The Valley of Aosta, evocative and spectacular : the mountains melt the castles to form one single scenery with the nature that surrounds them, making the landscape out of time.... where only the density of castles fills the spaces of natural beauty... leaving to the traditions the aroma of orchards as well as the hearths of the houses the scents from cheeses and smoked. Although the Valle D'Aosta is the smallest region it will never be unveiled at once. but will want, as only a charming woman knows how to do, to be slowly discovered Castle by Castle with the slow of a horse, of a carriage ... or a bike even if you're driving... and then we just let going to admire : from Castel Savoia, the elective residence of Margherita of Savoy, which dominates, from its lush rock garden where the scents of alpine flora and its rare essences and with its lookout the valley to the glacier of Lyskamm , in Issogne with the splendid Gothic Renaissance castle, in Verrès, thirteenth-century military manor, softened by the rich decorations of doors, windows and monumental fireplaces, perfect union between the majestic and mighty essentiality of the fortress with the elegance of the castle. and again Castle Ussel, with the prisons of the Challant and the Savoy,... and the majestic Cly Castle in Saint-Denis. up to the famous Fenis Castle, with beautiful crenellated walls and majestic towers, which was the hunting lodge of King Victor Emmanuel II, as evocative as fairytale! Without skipping Sarre Royal Castle, located in Lalex, Aymavilles Castle, with the 4 mighty angular cylindrical towers. to finish the circuit the Castle of Sarriod de la Tour, in the flat area, cultivated with orchard, protected by an extensive wall curtain and with its evocative overhanging position on the Dora River.
What experience are you thinking of ?
AOSTA VALLEY FOOD AND CASTLES TO TASTE WITH DINNER
A journey through the Castles and the foods, the Fontine, the Toma cheeses and the apple orchards that will make us taste the sweet atmosphere of the slow with our foodies pit stop with typical food tastings and dinner at local dairy
And it is precisely the breathing of the Castles the experience of today that will take us, crossing the apple orchards to reach Saint Pierre, at the foot of the castle, where "intoxicated" by artisanal and agropastoral products of local production, from the lard of Amard to the fontina, from the honey milleflowers to brandies, from Morgex wines to rye bread, we will make our first Foodies pit stop with a tasting happy hour. A visit to the Castle of Sarriod de la Tour, the complex architecture manor, composed of several buildings dating back to different eras. Don't miss the tower's stunning spiral staircase (the viret), the 14th-century frescoes of the chapel and the Head Room, the main representative setting, whose ceiling is supported by 171 shelves, carved in grotesque forms, and then climb up to Saint Nicolas, a village located on a small painoro at the foot of Mount Fallere, with a visit to the 17th-century church of St. Nicholas built on the edge of the cliff. We will continue to admire the silent enchantment of the central valley by touching small villages, where we taste Valdostani charcuterie, tomini, polenta , deer in psalms, tomes and fontina will be worth a second Foodies pit stop before proceeding so to Homene' S.te Marguerite, where to visit the little church frescoed with naif drawings and we will concud welcomed by a small dairy for an unforgettable tasting-dinner: that will be our last Foodies pit stop [....]

Rob Flynn is one half of the brother-sister duo behind Dublin rockers The Winter Passing who have been making waves since the release of their debut album ‘A Different Space of Mind’ in 2015.
The quintet followed up their debut with the EP ‘Double Exposure' in 2017 and have been touring Europe and the US extensively ever since. The band released their first new music in two years in the shape of single Original Sin in 2019 and have since followed it up with new single Resist.
We caught up with Rob as The Winter Passing prepared for the unlikeliest of gigs when they went head-to-head with UK act Milk Teeth playing the music of Britpop legends Blur and Oasis at their record company's Big Day Out event.
Note: This interview has been updated to include The Winter Passings latest single Resist - all questions date back to September 2019
Your debut album ‘A Different Space of Mind’ turned four recently (September 18th). How has your space of mind changed since then?
Yep, it’s been four years since we released our first album. So so much has changed since then in fact. Mentally, physically and sonically, myself and the rest of the band have changed since releasing that record! I feel like our sound has progressed a lot since then, our approach towards music and opinion on music is much sharper nowadays! It comes down to experiences really and learning from them.
The addition of Kev (O’Shea, drums) and Marty (Ryan, guitar) joining the band since that era of TWP for us has brought a new sense of energy and creativity.
How do you look back on that period now? Are there any aspects you’d like to change?
We were much younger and less experienced really! Honestly I feel like everything in life happens for a reason so sure yeah, if I was to do it all again there would be certain things we would have done differently but everything that did happen was meant to happen I suppose. I look back at that time now as a learning curve in my own life, I’m happy to see how much we’ve all developed musically and personally since then.
Following the release of that album you guys left FITA Records and signed for 6131 Records (US) & Big Scary Monsters (EU). How has being signed to two such reputable rock labels helped you?
It’s been really helpful in the grand scheme of things. It opened up many different doors in the music world for us that might have been impossible to open without their help. From playing shows in the US, touring in mainland Europe and all the press-related stuff that the labels sorted out for us! Both 6131 and BSM were labels we were avid fans of prior to being signed to both so it was a big milestone for us to achieve with the band when we began working with them.
Who are your favourite label mates?
That’s a good question, there are so many great bands on both those labels past and present! Julien Baker is a big one for us because of how incredible of a human she is and how close we are to her on a personal level. She released her debut album on 6131 a few weeks before we did so we’ve always been connected since the early days of us all joining 6131 Records at the same time!
It’s crazy for us to see how much support, love and care she has for The Winter Passing. For example, our van got broken into whilst on tour in Europe this year and she was one of the first people to send money to help with the damaged van/stolen gear. She was on tour in Asia herself at the time!
Culture Abuse would be another big one for me personally that released music on 6131, that band rule.
Big Scary Monsters has a pretty stacked roster of bands we love! American Football, The Get Up Kids, Martha, Kevin Devine, Joyce Manor and Woahnows are some of our favs that come to mind from BSM!
You guys worked with producer J. Robbins on your 2017 EP ‘Double Exposure’. How did that come about and what was it like working with such an established producer?
That came about through 6131 really. We had been talking about a follow-up release to our album with them for a while and originally we wanted to record in the UK but they had suggested J Robbins at his studio in Baltimore, Maryland. We were a little overwhelmed about it all I remember originally. It was a big deal to us to be travelling to the US to record an EP you know? It was also a worry from a financial point of view but we made it work! At the time there were only three members in the band (myself, Kate & Jamie) with a bunch of our friends filling in for live shows.
We were also in the midst of the busiest year of the band’s history from a touring perspective. We toured pretty much the whole way through that year with different tours and shows in Ireland, UK and the US every month basically. But we had a bunch of material at the time that we wanted to record so we focused in on six songs and they were the tunes that made up ‘Double Exposure’ in the end!
What was your main takeaway from working with J. Robbins?
The process was great, live tracking all the songs on the record was a cool approach to recording and I think it gave it a real garage feel to the recording that best represents our live sound! He was so great to work with, super encouraging and I feel like we left that studio a week later after recording ‘Double Exposure’ better musicians than when we first went in. His outlook and ethos towards music is all-round great and that really rubbed off on us, I feel.
You guys have flown under the radar in Ireland. Is that something you’d like to change, or do you enjoy the anonymity?
Yeah, we definitely have flown under the radar in Ireland over the years to a certain extent. I suppose it comes down to the type of music we play! It's not for everyone as they'd say. Many people dub us an ‘emo’ band and sometimes there’s a stigma attached to that word in Irish culture among musicians.
They seem to think it’s the music they "used to like when they were in school" so they’re almost ashamed to say they still like that type of music or whatever. If you think about it in reality, if a piece of music isn’t emotional in any way, is it good? More than likely not! In my opinion, ALL MUSIC IS EMO, across every genre and style of music.
But if emo is what people want to perceive TWP as, I’m fine with that! Whatever works, it’s just a label and every music act seems to have a label stuck on them. All it takes is one music journalist at a big publication to write “emo is cool again” and then our luck might change entirely.
In reality, we draw much more influence from garage, punk and indie rock. There are many different dynamics that make up The Winter Passing’s sound so we don’t like being pigeonholed into one description. Hopefully, we can prove that to Irish people with the newer pieces of music we have on the way!
There was a two-year gap between 'Double Exposure' and your new single Original Sin. What did you get up to in the interim?
We toured ‘Double Exposure’ basically as much as possible during that time! Around the time we were releasing the EP in 2017, Kev joined the band. That brought a new sense of creativity and flow, so we’ve been touring and silently writing a new album all through that time really.
Can you tell us the story behind Original Sin?
Fun fact about Original Sin. The day we got back from recording with J Robbins in Baltimore in October 2016, we were at a friends house in Richmond, Virginia and Jamie (guitar in TWP) and I were messing around playing guitars in the living room and Jamie played the chorus of Original Sin. I was like "wait, what song is that?" and he said it was just something he’d been messing with.
I always knew that riff would become the chorus of a single and it did. It’s a song about feeling socially insecure in the Irish pub setting and dealing with it. We recorded that song and another single in June 2018 in a studio in Northern Ireland. We wanted to record some music so people had something from us to fill the gap in between us doing another album!
Are you guys working on a new album or will Original Sin be an only child for a while?
I suppose this is a GoldenPlec exclusive but yeah we’re recording our sophomore LP this November over in England with producer Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor, Milk Teeth) at The Ranch Production House. So we will be releasing a new album in 2020! Original Sin isn’t actually an only child, in fact, she has a twin brother!!
When can we expect to hear new material and who have you been working with in the studio?
And another GP exclusive! We will be releasing a new single from the same recording session as Original Sin on October 1st worldwide called Patience, Please via Big Scary Monsters. We can’t wait for people to hear the new track!
You’ve been on tour in Europe with The Wonder Years recently. How has that been?
Yep, we toured with The Wonder Years earlier this year. It was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had as a band. Wonder Years have been a big influence on everyone in the band for years now so it was very surreal for us to do an entire tour on mainland Europe with them. They were so encouraging and supportive of us all. They made us feel so welcome from the get go! All the shows were great and it was great to perform to their audience every night.
You guys are playing a show covering Blur songs for your record company Big Scary Monsters’ Big Day Out. Blur seems like an unlikely influence. Are you big fans?
Growing up I was actually more into Oasis if I’m being honest, like everyone in Ireland really! But when BSM asked us about doing Blur I was intrigued and now, I’m honestly obsessed with Blur. They’re as awesome a band as Oasis are. In fact, Blur are proving to be a huge influence on the 2nd TWP album that we’re currently working on.
We’ve had a lot of fun learning these Blur songs. We have drafted in our good friend and well-known Irish DJ Handsome Paddy to play the Blur set in London. So it’s gonna be a special night and more than anything, some laugh!
How have preparations gone?
They’ve been going too well, we actually have the Blur thing down! Kate (vocals, Keys in TWP) has her cockney English accent down to a fine T!!
Can we expect to hear some Blur in Whelan’s next month?
Jaysus, GoldenPlec getting all the gossip in this interview! Yeah we’re gonna give Parklife a go in Dublin. Handsome Paddy is gonna join us for the laugh! It’s gonna be gas!
Milk Teeth are playing the same event but are performing Oasis tunes. Have you guys been having a bit of friendly craic in the build-up?
A bit yeah! BSM told us to get cheeky online with one another but I feel like both bands are made up of absolute softies, so nobody wants to insult each other like the real Blur and Oasis!
Why did you choose Limerick’s CASEVETTES as support for your upcoming show in Whelan’s?
We have a lost love affair with Limerick really. We have a lot of friends in Limerick and they have an incredible music scene down there. We’ve been well looked after for shows in Limerick in the last 12 months so we wanted to return the favour. We always knew when we booked the show we’d have a Limerick band play with us and our guitarist Marty being from there suggested Casavettes which we were all on board with having on the show!
Same question re Jacob. Can you tell us about your favourite tracks of theirs?
Jacob are a band we’ve been very close friends with for years now, we’ve supported them since day one when the band was just a solo project of their singer Joe Cleary. They released an EP earlier this year called ‘Tulips’ and it’s great! I suppose we knew we wanted Jacob on the show from the get-go also, Joe is one of my best friends! It’s always great playing shows with your friends and it’s always great to be able to help friends out with their art!

Future remains 'bright', say Williams
|By Jonathan Noble||Wednesday, February 25th 2009, 19:28 GMT|
Adam Parr, the CEO of Williams, says he can only see a 'positive' future for his team, despite Wednesday's announcement that major sponsor, the Royal Bank of Scotland, is to quit the sport.
As an independent outfit, Williams have faced a struggle in recent years to match the budgets of the big-money manufacturers - and the loss of a backer like RBS is not ideal.
But Parr remains upbeat that moves to reduce costs in F1 allied to Williams's already strong portfolio of sponsors means there is no reason to feel downbeat about the current situation.
When asked by autosport.com whether he felt that rule changes to reduce costs meant that Williams had a bright future in F1 despite RBS's plans, Parr said: "I do, although I know it is very difficult to paint a positive picture at the moment.
"What you have to think about is this - when I came into the sport a few years ago, I was sitting across from people (in team principals' meetings) who said money does not matter to us. Now, we don't have discussions like that any more.
"In order for Williams to be competitive and be in the frame for the past two or three years, we have had to spend beyond our means. For the next two years we will not do that, and we will be paying off a significant chunk of debt. We are (now) seeing a scenario where our means are not dissimilar to the rest of F1."
RBS has confirmed to the team that despite its pull-out plans, it will stick to its commitment to be a team sponsor until the end of 2010 - even though some of the costs of their sponsorship marketing will be reduced. The bank intends to cut its spending on hospitality by 90% this year and have cancelled trackside advertising for 2010.
The RBS deal is believed to account for 10 percent of Williams's total budget, and Parr said that against the backdrop of the bank's financial problems it was not a total surprise that they were choosing not to remain in F1.
"Obviously it isn't good news for the sport that someone like RBS is withdrawing," explained Parr. "From our point of view we have suspected for some time there was only a slim chance of them continuing beyond their current sponsorship term, and that is the end of 2010.
"The important thing for us is that the board confirmed to us yesterday and confirmed publicly today that they will honour the contract until 2010."
The announcement of RBS is not the only bad news that Williams have suffered recently on the sponsor front - with the team having lost backing from the Baugur Group, Lenovo and Petrobras over the winter.
However, Parr said that with other team sponsors having increased their budgets for this season - the main one being Philips – there were no worries about the short term finances for the team.
"We had 10 of our partners renew with us," said Parr. "Four of those partners that renewed or extended with us were major upgrades, and they at least doubled their investment 2009 compared to 2008.
"So, from a sponsorship revenue side, we came out pretty well year-on-year. The FOM revenues (television rights money) are stronger this year compared to last year, and we have significant cost savings coming through as a result of limited testing and a reduction in engine costs. As an example we are planning on using 20 engines compared to 55 last year.
"Overall we've got a very solid budget for this year. I don't want to claim to you it is everything we would like, but we are in advanced negotiations to bring new partners to the team for this season."
Parr said he also felt bullish that there were companies out there able to step into RBS's shoes and become major backers of Williams in the future.
"We have a budget for this season and it is reasonable budget. For 2010 the position is similar and 90 percent of the budget for this year is contracted for that year. And there will be further cost savings...I am confident that in time for 2011 we will have a very strong portfolio of sponsors in place. We have a broad range of partners and no individual partner is make or break for this team."
He also blasted recent reports in the media criticising RBS's involvement in F1 against the backdrop of the bank's funding from the taxpayer.

Singin' In the Rain
A silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood.
"If you've never seen it and don't, you're bonkers."
Stephen Garrett, Time Out
Directed by Stanely Donan and Gene Kelly (1952, 1h 43m).
Regarded as one of the best musicals in film, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN proves to be a timeless classic to this day. The film explores the struggles of a Hollywood production studio in the late 1920s as they are forced to transition to "talkies." With classic songs like “Make em’ Laugh” and “Good Morning” this wonderful musical comedy is a staple in cinematic history.

Ever wondered about the origins of poker? Well, it’s time to delve into the world of 5 Card Stud Poker. This popular poker variant, with its roots in the American Civil War era, is a game that’s both thrilling and strategic. It’s not just about the luck of the draw, but also about outsmarting your opponents.
What is 5 Card Stud Poker?
5 Card Stud Poker, often synonymous with an American Civil War setting, is one of the many variants of poker that continues to enthrall players worldwide. A blend of calculated strategy and a touch of Lady Luck’s favor, it offers a thrilling, cerebral gaming environment.
Unlike its counterpart, Texas Hold’em, 5 Card Stud Poker is distinct in its rules. Each player starts with two cards. The first card is hidden, known only to the player. The second is open, visible to all competitors. This setup introduces an element of intrigue and bluffs, setting the stage for strategic play.
Players then move through various stages. These are known as streets. A total of five streets exist in the round, with each new street dealing an additional card to the players. The tension builds with every step, with stakes skyrocketing as players strive to form the hand with the highest value. Players need a strategic approach, an understands of betting patterns, and a keen eye for opponents’ reactions.
The game’s beauty lies in the variety of hands possible. The Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, and Full House are some of the hands to look out for. And don’t forget, an ‘Ace High’ can occasionally outdo a flush.
5 Card Stud Poker is a fantastic way to engage the mind. It’s a battlefield of wits, incomplete information, and calculated risks.
- Take the time to learn the rules
- Understand the different types of hands
- Brush up on betting strategies
- Keep an eye on the other players
Remember, it’s about more than just luck in 5 Card Stud Poker. It’s the craft of strategy and a test of patience that can lead to the sweet taste of victory.
The Origins of 5 Card Stud Poker
5 Card Stud Poker’s journey into popularity began during an intense period of American history. Born in the midst of the American Civil War, it quickly gained traction, becoming a favorite pastime of soldiers. Its rapid spread is credited to the game’s simplicity and tactical depth.
The original version of this game derived from an earlier poker variant: the three-card game. Three-card variants were famous in the 19th century, but it was 5 Card Stud that really captured players’ appreciation. One of the reasons for its popularity was the added complexity with two additional cards. This change raised the stakes — and the excitement.
Yet, it wasn’t only inside the military that 5 Card Stud made its mark. After the war, returning soldiers brought the game back to their hometowns. Sparks of interest ignited all across the country, and the game swiftly became a staple in saloons and gambling houses of the Wild West. From there, it established a robust presence in the American gambling culture.
Expanding beyond the American shores, 5 Card Stud started commanding attention internationally. The game spread throughout Europe and Asia, thanks to soldiers and travelers. It became a significant offering in casinos worldwide and was featured in several classic Hollywood films — not only enhancing its reputation but also cementing its place in global poker culture.
5 Card Stud’s journey from wartime entertainment to a renowned poker variation is truly intriguing. It’s a testament to the game’s attractive balance of simplicity and strategy. That balance continues to be appreciated by enthusiasts, painting a vibrant picture of its historical path.
How to Play 5 Card Stud Poker
Learning to play 5 Card Stud Poker takes practice and patience, but once the basics are grasped, it’s a fun, thrilling game. Let’s dive into the details of playing this exciting variant of poker.
To start the game, each player is dealt one card facedown (known as the “hole” card) and one card face-up. The player with the lowest card showing then initiates betting. This is a crucial aspect of 5 Card Stud, as the first betting round set-ups the pace of the game.
Upon completion of the first betting round, the dealer provides each player with another face-up card. Known as “Third Street”, this phase sees a second betting round initiated by the player with the best hand on display.
The process continues with two more face-up cards dealt in succession – each followed by a round of betting. The stages are aptly named “Fourth Street” and “Fifth Street”.
It’s during these stages that the true strategic nature of 5 Card Stud comes to light. Players must carefully observe their opponent’s open cards, evaluate their probable combinations, and anticipate their next moves.
The game reaches its climax after the distribution of the fifth card. The remaining players reveal their hidden card – the proverbial “showdown” unfolds, and the player with the highest-ranking hand wins.
Remember, 5 Card Stud Poker isn’t just about the cards in hand, but also about the skillful analysis of opponents and understanding betting patterns. It’s a stimulating game that indeed requires a keen eye, precision, and a well-devised strategy.
As they say, practice makes perfect! So, don’t be disheartened if you don’t get the hang of it immediately. Keep practicing, observing, and adapting your strategy with every game. Soon you’ll find yourself mastering this traditional yet enthralling variant of poker.
Over time, you’ll begin to appreciate the game’s balance of simplicity and deep strategy. While tracing its roots back to the American Civil War, you’ll see why 5 Card Stud manages to retain its age-old charm, standing tall in the ever-evolving world of poker.
Strategies for Winning at 5 Card Stud Poker
In 5 Card Stud Poker, understanding and implementing strategy is crucial. Capability alone does not guarantee success in this historically popular game. Developing a dynamic approach helps one adapt to various game situations, increase their competitive edge, and substantially improve winning likelihood.
Betting strategically pays off big time in this poker variant. Assessing the strength of the hand at every street is vital. For instance, if the initial dealt hand is weak, it’s wise to fold. There’s no point in betting good money after bad. Alternatively, if they’ve got a strong starting hand, they should bet aggressively to rake in the pot.
It’s also essential not to overlook the hidden card or the hole card. The unseen element in the mix often swings the match and can be used cleverly by players to bluff and misdirect opponents. However, they must use this tactic wisely; the wrong move can prove disastrous.
Observation also plays a key role in this poker game. Watching opponents’ reactions allows players to determine strengths, weaknesses, and betting patterns. They can use observed tendencies to respond effectively. A player who’s good at bluffing, for example, will raise the bet, hoping their opponents will fold. On the other hand, timid opponents will fold even when they’ve got a good chance to win.
Studying the visible cards is just as important. It gives insight into opponents’ possible hands, helping to make educated guesses regarding hidden cards. A keen eye for the open cards on the table can significantly enhance decision-making and strategizing.
Practicing patience is integral to the game of 5 Card Stud Poker. A player can’t expect to win every hand. It’s important to wait for the right time to play their hand or initiate a bluff. Understanding the game’s pace and adapting one’s strategy accordingly is key.
Remember: to truly master 5 Card Stud Poker, a player mustn’t be afraid to learn from losses. Such experiences offer valuable lessons on identifying pitfalls, improvising strategy, and ultimately — improving their game. Thus, with practice and a well-planned approach, success at 5 Card Stud Poker stays within arm’s reach.
Common Mistakes to Avoid in 5 Card Stud Poker
When an individual first starts to play 5 Card Stud Poker, they’re likely to make a few common errors. It’s essential to identify and rectify these regarding progress in the game. This phase in honing your skill-set is as fundamental as understanding the basic rules or the game’s history and origin.
One of the most common errors newbies commit is playing too many hands early on in the game. Remember, patience is key in poker. It might be tempting to go all-in whenever you get a big card, but that’s not always the best strategy. Keep in mind:
- Attempt to assess the strength of your hand before betting.
- Unnecessarily risk-taking may lead to quick losses.
- Bide your time and wait for the right moment to strike.
Remember, it’s not always about having the best hand; it’s also about making your opponents think you do.
Another common pitfall for beginners is disregarding their opponents’ face-up cards. In 5 Card Stud Poker, maintaining a firm grasp on visible cards can dramatically influence your strategy. Don’t merely focus on your hidden card; instead:
- Use your opponent’s face-up cards to estimate what they might hold.
- Always be aware of the visible cards on the table to make an educated guess of the possible hands your opponents might have.
Finally, improper bankroll management is yet another area where rookie players often stumble. Winning in poker is not just about the cards you’re dealt; it’s also heavily dependent on your capital management ability. Consider:
- Setting a limit and sticking to it.
- Never betting more than what you’re prepared to lose.
- Avoid the temptation of chasing losses.
Remember, poker is a long game, played over an extended period. It’s not about who can win the most hands, but who can stay in the game the longest.
Mastering 5 Card Stud Poker isn’t just about understanding the rules—it’s about strategy and careful observation. It’s a game that requires players to anticipate their opponents’ moves and make calculated decisions.
The game’s rich history adds an element of charm, making it more than just a card game. It’s a piece of Americana, a relic from the days of the Wild West that has stood the test of time.
Avoiding common pitfalls is crucial for success in 5 Card Stud Poker. A player must remember not to play too many hands early on, ignore opponents’ face-up cards, or mismanage their bankroll. Patience, strategic analysis, and proper capital management are key to winning.
5 Card Stud Poker isn’t just a game—it’s an art. And like any art, it takes time, patience, and practice to perfect. So, keep playing, keep learning, and most importantly, keep enjoying the game.

Jason Conley certainly isn't one of college basketball's household names. He may, however, put himself in the record books.
The 6-foot-5 forward from VMI leads the nation in scoring at 29.6 points per game. If he wins the scoring title, he would be the first freshman to do so.
Freshmen only became eligible to play in 1972. Even so, only four sophomores have ever led the country in scoring, the last in 1974.
Conley, who redshirted last season, is also averaging 8.4 rebounds for the Keydets (8-14) and he has been very consistent as of late as he tried to hold off Henry Domercant of Eastern Illinois, who is second in scoring at 26.6.
Conley had 38 points in a loss to Villanova and has matched that career-high in each of the last two games. He has scored 30 or more in his last four games and has bettered that number 11 times this season.
He is shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from 3-point range, and 84.5 percent from the free throw line. There's no way to pigeonhole Conley.
"He's just incredible. There's nothing he can't do," Villanova coach Jay Wright said after Conley set the scoring record for an opponent at the Pavilion. "We just couldn't stop him. He's got range, he puts it on the floor, he gets out on the break, he finishes. He scores in every way."
Even if Conley waited a year to win the scoring title, he would join some impressive company.
The last sophomore to lead the country in scoring was Larry Fogle of Canisius. The others were Johnny Neumann of Mississippi (1971), Pete Maravich of LSU (1968) and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati (1958).
Both Maravich and Robertson went on to win the title again as juniors and seniors.
Expect to see that smile on Notre Dame coach Mike Brey's face for three more years. Really, it will be there as long as Chris Thomas is the point guard of the Fighting Irish.
The 6-foot-1 freshman has numbers any upperclassman would take a charge for.
He is averaging 15.9 points and 6.9 assists while playing 36.5 minutes for the Fighting Irish (16-6). What makes the 153 assists even more impressive is that Thomas has committed just 60 turnovers.
Brey admits he didn't have much choice about turning the team over to a freshman but Thomas' first season has the former Duke assistant thinking about the same thing happening in Durham.
"This is the Bobby Hurley lesson plan. I lived it. I watched it. I saw it," Brey said, referring to the two-time All-American who led the Blue Devils to consecutive national championships while becoming the NCAA's career assist leader. "Give the kid confidence and give him the ball. He and I have a great relationship, and I enjoy coaching the kid. I don't want to kill his creativity. You have to live with some stuff, but you know what, he doesn't make many mistakes."
Radford went 0-for-10 from 3-point range in its 70-52 victory over Charleston Southern last weekend. The bad night from beyond the arc ended the Highlanders' streak of 348 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer.
The last time Radford went 0-for on 3s was the season opener in 1990-91.
The record for consecutive games with a 3 belongs to UNLV and Vanderbilt. They have made at least one in every game since the line was installed for the 1986-87 season, a run of 494 games entering this weekend.
It's taken Northwestern senior Tavaras Hardy a while to find his touch from beyond the 3-point line.
He had four 3-pointers Wednesday night in the Wildcats' 61-49 victory over Michigan State, giving him nine in his last three games.
In his first 107 games as a Wildcat, Hardy had nine 3-pointers.
Even though it's getting near tournament time, football players are still having an impact on basketball teams.
Matt Jones, a freshman quarterback who joined the Arkansas basketball team Jan. 7, was limited to a total of five minutes in his first three games. But Razorbacks coach Nolan Richardson indicated this week that he's ready to see how much Jones can help.
"If he's going to help us, this has got to be the week we'll put him in," Richardson said. "He's going to work with the first unit more. We'll get a clearer picture. Where we're so weak is board work and he's not bad in practice."
Jones didn't play in the Razorbacks' first three football games but became an integral part of the offense and wound up with 592 yards rushing.
Meanwhile, senior forward Duane Williams left Buffalo's basketball team to pursue a professional football career.
Williams, who also played football at Buffalo, said he wanted additional time to train for the many NFL workouts he expects to attend this spring.
Williams appeared in seven basketball games for the Bulls, averaging less than a point a game.
He produced better numbers on the football field as a starting defensive end, recording 64 tackles, including nine for losses last season. As a junior, Williams earned an All-Mid-American Conference honorable mention when he recorded 53 tackles and led the team with nine sacks.
"We're disappointed to not have Duane, as he has done whatever we've asked of him during his time with us," coach Reggie Witherspoon said. "However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which he needs to pursue. We wish him the best."

Paso Robles, Calif.—Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is honored to introduce the Vanguard Weatherguard line of rifles, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard series that debuted in the early 1970s.
Since that time, Vanguard rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production hunting rifle —especially budget-friendly models. With its new Weatherguard rifles, the company combines the best attributes of the Vanguard with features deemed nonnegotiable by dedicated hunters and shooters.
The Vanguard Weatherguard rifles are accompanied with an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, they will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel. All the metalwork is protected with Tactical Grey Cerakote, for exceptional weather and corrosion resistance.
The heart of the Weatherguard rifles, the renowned Vanguard action, is affixed to an injection molded Monte Carlo Griptonite stock that features pistol grip and forend inserts and a right side palm swell that aids in shooter comfort and control.
As with other Vanguard rifles, the Weatherguard rifles are equipped with a match-quality, two-stage trigger that’s user adjustable pull weight. It also has the familiar three-position safety and fluted bolt with dual-opposed locking lugs of its siblings.
The Weatherguard rifles are offered in four different configurations:
- -The Weatherguard and Weatherguard DBM (Drop-Box Magazine), featuring a 24 inch, #2 contour barrel.
- -The Weatherguard H-Bar which features a 22 inch, #3 contour, heavy barrel (.740 muzzle diameter).
- -The Weatherguard Carbine features a lightweight, #1 contour, 20 inch barrel.
The Vanguard Weatherguard rifle is scheduled to hit dealer’s shelves by January 1, 2016. Contact your local authorized Weatherby dealer to order yours today.

Two ski resorts in the Caucasus Mountain offer affordable snowsports
Whenever a group of Dubai residents get talking about skiing, our competitive spirit comes out. We don’t boast about the black runs we’ve done, or the cheese fondue we’ve guzzled – no, no, no, we like to compete on visiting the most original country. While everyone in Europe goes to the Alps, we have the pick of intriguing locations like Iran, Georgia or Lebanon.
Well now there’s another name to add to the list, as the lush mountains of Azerbaijan will soon be transformed into a white winter paradise. This cosmopolitan country promises snowfall from mid-December till April, and with daily flights from Dubai to Baku, you can travel there in three short hours.
SHAHDAG'S SNOWY MOUNTAINS IN AZERBAIJAN
Once you land, you’re looking at another three hours up the mountain, but you’ll still be slope-side long before someone making the same journey to the Alps.
Here are two top resorts you’ll want to check out, and make sure you don’t miss Baku’s 'Cold Hands, Warm Hearts' winter fair in December and January. With traditional festive stalls selling souvenirs and gifts, and cafés serving hot tea and traditional sweets, it’s worth a stop on your way to the mountains.
TUFANDAG'S SNOWY MOUNTAINS IN AZERBAIJAN
Shahdag Mountain Resort is Azerbaijan’s biggest snow park, and includes high-class hotels, spas, restaurants, and an endless list of thrilling sports and leisure activities. Beginners and experienced skiers will love the 17km of manicured pistes, while off the slopes there’s a variety of activities including paragliding, cycling and cable car rides overlooking the magnificent mountains.
Tufandag Mountain Resort is located on the shoulders of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in Gabala. It boasts 15 km of slopes, a ski school, and plenty of restaurants. Skiing is reasonable in Azerbaijan, and a full day pass for adults costs only AED 65 and AED 43 for children aged 6-11.azerbaijan.travel/en/home


The first demonstration of a short-wavelength laser driven within a gas-filled capillary discharge waveguide is presented. This is the first time the collisionally excited optical-field-ionization (OFI) laser is driven in any waveguide. This paper presents spectra demonstating short-wavelength lasing, measurements of the transmission of the pump laser pulse through the waveguide, and simulations that show that the lasant ion stage is generated over essentially the whole length of the plasma channel.

I turned 26 this past year, and nothing says getting older like a rainbow unicorn party and making everyone dress up with you.Read More
The first thing on my list was to go walk the Harvard campus and visit the museums there. I felt like such an imposter walking through the campus. There were college students everywhere, so I really blended right in, sans a backpack. But it’s Harvard, you know, the place where all the studies and smart people and high IQ and stuff come from? I felt like everyone knew I wasn’t actually enrolled there.Read More
So Boston had a ridiculous winter. People were telling me around 110 inches. Meanwhile in Utah, it only snowed three times, which is awful for our water supply. The entire city of Boston was on lock down and buried under snow. Apparently the last of the snow only melted a couple weeks before we got there. A lot of spring flowers were just starting to come up, even though it was basically May. All the trees were in bloom though, so it was very pretty!
Alright, after my hiatus of blogging, I will try this again. We’ve done so many fun things this year and I want to remember them all! First off, a trip to San Francisco this past February. California holds so many memories for me. Yes, there are the family trips that I loved, when we went to Disneyland and Seaworld, but it is also the state that I have traveled to most often without my family. Two high school Music Department trips, where we smoked everyone in competitions for choir, orchestra, and band; one Disneyland trip with my best friend and her brother’s family; a trip with Colton’s family for a week-long stay at the beach; and the most recent, a college trip with my Murals class. I’d already graduated this past December but the trip was set for the end of February, so it was nice to see all my classmates again in a non-school setting.Read More
We spent a beautiful weekend in the Tetons for Valentine’s. The weather was supposed to be beautiful, everyone else seemed to be going somewhere south, and we’d heard reports that the Yellowstone bears were coming out of hibernation.Read More
We were staying at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. Definitely one of the poshier places I’ve ever stayed. When we left Salt Lake that morning, it was snowing on the mountains. Arriving in Arizona and seeing flowers still in bloom and palm trees swaying was a little unexpected. The resort itself had a sprawling green golf course, and the air was scented with some unidentifiable plant I spent days trying to find. (I literally walked around the hotel and smelled every leaf I could and couldn’t figure it out.)Read More
Growing up for Thanksgiving, my mom has often made her famous rainbow jello for a Thanksgiving side dish. With seven layers, it can get a bit time-consuming (if every layer has to sit for at least 45 minutes before you add the next layer… you do the math.) This year, I decided to try something a little different with the layered jello. I wanted to do something fun, so I searched for ‘polka dot jello’ on Pinterest.
It didn’t exist.
I tried other forms of the phrase, but nothing came up. Then the thought came to me.
I CAN MAKE SOMETHING ORIGINAL ON PINTEREST!!!!
Colton and I made a quick stop at the Parowan Gap. Petroglyphs line the 600-ft tall cliffs, some estimated to be at least a thousand years old. It’s such a bizarre natural feature. The landscape all around the Gap is virtually flat, and all of a sudden the rocks just jut out of the ground. Then beyond that it’s completely flat again. Look at the satellite view of the map below. There’s literally NOTHING around. Oh except the Little Salt Lake. Never heard of it? Me either. Colton’s dad, who grew up in Parowan, told us that you used to be able to find old arrow heads all around the area.Read More
Labor Day came around and we made plans to have a picnic at Liberty Park with some friends, Caleb and Megan. Colton made street tacos. It was a simple recipe and super yummy! He found it here at Simple Recipes. Megan and Caleb provided corn on the cob and the meal was perfect! We passed the time catching up and watching slack-liners cross from tree to tree. If you want a recipe with few ingredients to deal with and plenty of flavor, this is a great one to try out!Read More
I’m waiting for the day when someone will come up with an idea as brilliant as Harry Potter. I don’t think it will happen for quite some time. Half of my life has been spent waiting on Harry Potter books to be released at midnight and dressing up to go to midnight showings. And it has to be midnight, of course, so you will be the first to know what happens and no one will spoil it for you.Read More

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Election departments across the state are preparing for possible recounts after several races are too close to call.
It appears at this time that two races, one for a US Senate seat, the other for state Agriculture Commissioner, are headed for a hand recount. A third race, for Governor, appears to be headed for a machine recount.
Under state law, a recount is required when candidates are within one-half point when all the votes are counted.
If it reaches .5 percent, it automatically triggers a statewide machine recount. If it goes within .25, it triggers a manual recount.
In the Senate race, Governor Rick Scott declared victory over incumbent Bill Nelson with a margin of approximately 60,000 votes.
In a Senate race, Republican Rick Scott had 50.11 percent of the vote compared to Democrat Bill Nelson’s 49.89 percent. The .22 percent difference triggers a manual recount if the numbers hold.
In a hand recount, canvassers examine every ballot where the machine showed no one voted for the US Senate seat, these are called under ballots. They also look at those where the voting machine showed a voter marked both names, these are so so-called over ballots.
A hand recount will most likely also be held in the Agriculture Commissioner race where Republican Matt Caldwell leads Democrat Nikki Fried by a scant 4,000 votes.
In the Governor’s race, Republican Ron DeSantis had 49.62 percent of the vote compared to Andrew Gillum’s 49.15 percent. With a percentage point difference of .47, a machine recount is mandated if the numbers hold.
“Our campaign, along with our attorney Barry Richard, is monitoring the situation closely and is ready for any outcome, including a state-mandated recount. Mayor Gillum started his campaign for the people, and we are committed to ensuring every single vote in Florida is counted,” said the Gillum campaign in a statement.
Recounts, when it’s determined how many there will be and if they will be done by hand or machine, won’t happen soon.
In addition to tallying of last-minute vote-by-mail ballots, there’s also the issue of provisional ballots. Those are ballots where the voter didn’t have the proper ID or went to the wrong precinct. There are thousands of them.
On Thursday, canvassing boards will begin either approving or revoking provisional ballots.
All voters who submitted provisional ballots must confirm their vote in order for it to be counted. Voters have until 5 p.m. Thursday to fax, send a personal email or show up in person at their county’s Supervisor of Elections office to confirm they submitted a provisional ballot.

Counties have until Saturday to turn in their first set of unofficial returns. If the margin remains under 0.5 percent at that point, then Secretary of State Ken Detzner is required to order the recount.
A recount must be conducted before noon November 18th, when the official returns are due from each county canvassing board.
The Florida Elections Canvassing Commission — comprised of Scott and two Cabinet members — is slated to meet 9 a.m. November 20th to certify the election results.
Florida was the scene of a monumental recount battle in 2000 that pitted scores of lawyers against each other in the presidential race. George W. Bush won the presidency by 537 Florida votes over Al Gore after the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately declared an end to the counting.

Urban design is the art of shaping the physical environment of cities, towns, and other urban areas. It involves the planning and design of buildings, parks, streets, and public spaces, and it plays a crucial role in shaping the way people live, work, and interact with each other. With more than half of the global population now living in cities, the future of urban design is more important than ever. It is an ever-evolving field that constantly adapts to the changing needs and challenges of urban environments. As we look towards the future, there are several key trends that are likely to shape the direction of urban design in the years to come.
Image source: Paul Upward
The rise of sustainability, equality and technology
One of the most significant trends in urban design is the push towards sustainability. With concerns over climate change and dwindling resources, cities are increasingly focused on reducing their environmental impact and promoting sustainable living. This has led to a greater emphasis on green spaces, renewable energy, and sustainable transportation options.
In addition to sustainability, there is a growing recognition of the importance of social equity in urban design. Historically, many urban areas have been plagued by inequality, with certain neighborhoods receiving fewer resources and opportunities than others. Today, there is a greater emphasis on creating more inclusive and equitable urban environments, with a focus on providing affordable housing, accessible public transportation, and other resources to underserved communities.
Technology is also likely to play an increasingly important role in urban design. Advances in technology, such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, are already being used to improve urban infrastructure and services, and this trend is only likely to accelerate in the coming years. For example, smart city initiatives are being implemented in cities around the world, which use sensors and data analysis to improve everything from traffic flow to waste management.
Another trend that is likely to shape the future of urban design is the growing importance of public health. Cities are increasingly focused on creating environments that promote physical and mental well-being so this could mean more green spaces and outdoor recreation areas, which would lead to better air quality, and therefore improving health.
Finally, there is a growing recognition of the importance of cultural heritage in urban design. Many cities are working to preserve and celebrate their unique cultural identities, whether through public art, historic preservation, or other initiatives. This helps to create a sense of place and community identity that can improve quality of life and attract tourists and businesses.
In conclusion, the future of urban design is likely to be shaped by a combination of sustainability, social equity, technology, public health, and cultural heritage. By incorporating these trends into their designs, urban planners and designers can create more liveable, inclusive, and sustainable cities for future generations.

It’ll also crush the 0-100km/h sprint in only 3.7 seconds.
The GT Performance Edition is priced at $82,995 in Canada.
Deliveries begin this fall.
Ford’s approach is a smart one. For most of the new Mustang Mach-E’s specs and data, Ford’s opted to under-promise only to then see official numbers over-deliver. This strategy shines through with the GT Performance’s now official EPA-estimated range of 418 km.
When it was first announced, Ford teased that the hotly-anticipated Mustang Mach-E GT Performance was not only going to crush the 0-100km/h sprint but deliver a targeted 375 km range. The final number handily exceeds this figure by more than 10%.
“With Pirelli summer tires, MagneRide damping system, Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition drivers get the performance thrills of 0-100 kph in 3.7 seconds while being able to travel further with the final EPA-estimated range of 418 km,” said Darren Palmer, global director, Battery Electric Vehicles, Ford Motor Company.
Priced from $82,995 in Canada, the AWD 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance matches the Tesla Model Y Performance acceleration times for about $1,000 less. The Model Y’s range remains superior at an EPA-estimated of 488 km.
The GT Performance’s dual electric motor setup generates a combined 480 horsepower and an astonishing 634 lb.-ft. of torque. Deliveries of the GT Performance are set to begin this fall.

Route: Longford to Monaghan via Cavan
Points Of Interest: Granard Motte and Bailey, Clough Oughter Castle, County Museum Monaghan
Stand on top of Longford’s Granard Motte and Bailey and you can quickly see why the Anglo-Normans chose this site in 1199.From here, the panoramic view sweeps across five lakes, nine counties and – on a clear day – even the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Built on top of a ring fort – some say there’s even a castle concealed in this grassy mound.
Driving north, you’ll hit the wetland beauty of Lough Oughter, where you can arrange a boat tour at the Cavan Canoe Centre to see the remarkable Clough Oughter Castle. Rising up out of a small island in the historic Kingdom of Breifne, this early 13th century castle has seen much conflict and drama, but today it’s utterly serene.
Weaving through this lough-studded landscape you’ll find more hidden gems, such as Turbet Island.
Walk across a bridge and enjoy the beauty of this little fortification in the River Erne where the first European remains of the woolly mammoth were found. Find out more about Ice Age Ireland at the Monaghan County Museum, before dropping into Castle Leslie for afternoon tea. The Leslies are descendants of Attila the Hun, but fear not, they’re decidedly more sophisticated than their ancestor, and so is their incredible hotel.
Relax at Cavan’s luxurious Radisson Blu Farnham Estate and take a walk through the gorgeous woodland here with guide George Beirne. It’s a real escape into the wilderness.
Route: Monaghan to Louth
Points Of Interest: King John’s Castle, Carlingford’s Medieval Walking Tour, Dundalk County Museum
Driving out of the rural heartland of Monaghan’s Glaslough village, head towards the coast and the beautiful town of Carlingford.
At its heart is King John’s Castle, where the reputedly lusty and sinful King John of England stayed for three days in 1210. The castle went on to have an eventful history – it was attacked by Hugh O’Neill in 1596, was fired on by Jacobite forces in 1689 and was used as a hospital just before the Battle of the Boyne.
A great way to connect with the village is with a Medieval Walking Tour with tales of Viking raids and magical myths.
Enjoy a seafood pub lunch in PJ’s before sweeping around the peninsula south to the County Museum Dundalk. Here, among other fascinating items, you’ll find Oliver Cromwell’s shaving mirror.
Take a look into the Gothic church of St Patrick’s in Dundalk, before moving on to Drogheda – once one of the largest walled towns in medieval Ireland. Drive through St Lawrence’s Gate, and look up – you’ll see the Millmount Museum & Martello Tower, affectionately known as the “cup and saucer” – the very place where the Normans established a fort in the 12th century.
The Greenway between Carlingford and Omeath on the Cooley Peninsula is a 6.2km cycle and walking path, with beautiful views over the lough.
Route: Louth to Meath
Points Of Interest: Millmount Museum & Martello Tower, Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre, Hill of Slane, Slane Castle
Start the day with a stroll around Drogheda’s medieval charms; at St Laurence’s Gate you’ll really get a sense of the proportion of this mighty entrance. Twice, this huge gate withstood invasion – first in 1317 and then again in 1642. But in 1649, Oliver Cromwell finally overcame the town – more than 2,000 were massacred, with others sent to slavery in Barbados.
Join the Walking Tour of Historic Drogheda and you’ll hear about a lady who came back from the dead in the churchyard of St Peter’s Church of Ireland, explore the Millmount Museum & Martello Tower – once a military lookout to defend the town from invaders – or visit St Oliver Plunkett’s preserved head in St Peter’s Church. Hung, drawn and quartered in 1681, Plunkett’s head now sits in a vast gilded shrine.
Bid farewell to Drogheda for the green fields of the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre, where you can stand in the place where 60,000 troops fought in one of Ireland’s most defining battles back in 1690, before moving onto the Hill of Slane, where St Patrick lit his paschal fire.
Up next is Slane Castle, home to Henry Conyngham, the Eighth Marquess Conyngham, and well known for its massive outdoor rock concerts – check in advance for tours!
You’re perfectly placed to embark on the Boyne Valley Driving Route here, to take in the incredible sites of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, and the historic town of Kells.
Route: Meath, Kildare
Points Of Interest: Trim Castle, Maynooth College, Maynooth Castle
By more or less following the curves of the River Boyne out of Slane, you’ll get to Trim Castle on the south bank of the river.
This vast Norman castle is the largest in Ireland and was built over a 30-year period in the 12th century by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter, to help curb the expansionist ambitions of Strongbow. Protected by a ditch, curtain wall and moat, the massive 20-sided tower was a force to be reckoned with – although it was breached in 1995 by the mighty Mel Gibson while filming Braveheart.
Pop into Trim Castle Hotel for a relaxed lunch, before joining a Trim Historical Walking Tour, which delves into the town’s historical sites, including Sheep’s Gate and The Yellow Steeple – once home to a statue of Mary famed for its healing miracles in the 15th century.
Heading south, take a tour of the historic Maynooth University campus, where Europe’s college university chapel and Ireland’s oldest native tree both have their roots. Just next door, you’ll also find the ruins of Maynooth Castle, given to Maurice Fitzgerald by Strongbow in 1176.
A short final drive will bring you to the day’s end at the delightful Barberstown Castle. Once owned by Eric Clapton and now a luxurious hotel, the castle was erected to protect the village from the rebellious Ui Faelain tribe in the 13th century. It also makes a perfect stop for dinner.
Take the Float Through Time Tour on the River Boyne with Boyne Valley Activities, and view medieval castles from the river – some erected for no other reason than their blissful riverside location.
Route: Kildare to Kilkenny via Carlow
Points Of Interest: Carlow County Museum, Smithwick’s Experience, Kilkenny Castle Medieval Mile
Barberstown might be a hard place to say goodbye to, but it’s up and off to the Carlow County Museum next. Despite being Ireland’s newest museum, a visit here will catapult you back hundreds of years with its wealth of fascinating objects, including an original gallows trapdoor from 1835, through which a certain Lucinda Sly was executed.
Soak up the best of the town’s sights next with the Carlow Town Walk, which will bring you past the Liberty Tree that commemorates those killed in the 1798 rebellion; the ruins of Carlow Castle; and the elegant Assembly Rooms, once owned by George Bernard Shaw and used in the late 18th century for dinner, balls and musical recitals.
Stretch your legs in Kilkenny city next with a walk back in time along the fascinating Medieval Mile and Kilkenny Castle, before getting in gear for the Smithwick’s Experience. Celebrating over 300 years of brewing history, here’s where you can immerse yourself in the story of Ireland’s oldest beer brand.
Finish the night with a trip to The Field Bar and Restaurant for some well-earned refreshments accompanied by live music. The venue itself started life as an alehouse in 1620 – and its rustic menu is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
Kilkenny’s historic setting and vibrant atmosphere blend perfectly during its annual Arts, European Film, Sky Cat Laughs, and TradFest festivals, to name but a few. Marry up your trip to enjoy the festivities while you tour!

Daily water level monitoring began at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in the late 1950s when there had been relatively few hydrologic alterations in our watershed. Agricultural and residential development have since come to dominate the watershed, and a 55-year-long monitoring record has detected substantial changes in the swamp’s hydrology.
Despite no change in rainfall, our research team found significant changes in dry season water levels. We saw no change in the timing or magnitude of peak wet season conditions or in the hydroperiods of upland habitats (hammock forests and pine forests) or wet prairies. However, we found that hydroperiods have decreased 41% in marshes, 27% in bald cypress, and 23% in pond habitats, with the most notable change occurring between the 1990s and 2000s. The frequency of dry down at Corkscrew’s Lettuce Lakes increased from 22% of years WY1960-1999 to 81% of years WY2000-2015, with the duration of dry down increasing 41%.
This finding has significant implications for the health of our native wetlands and wildlife, risk of wildfire throughout our region, and ultimately for the availability of clean drinking water for Southwest Florida residents.
Details on the initial finding and a discussion of possible causes and implications can be found in our research report (below). New findings were published in 2021 and details can be found on this page.

By Ashly Moore Sheldon • July 22, 2021
Literature always has the ability to transport us to new and different experiences, but speculative fiction takes us into worlds and realities that are entirely original, utterly thrilling, and, often, oddly prescient.

A Psalm For the Wild-Built
Hugo Award-winner Becky Chambers's new solarpunk series offers hope for the future. It's been centuries since robots gained self-awareness and disappeared into the wilderness. But now one has returned asking: What do humans need?

In Rivers Solomon's genre-bending novel, a pregnant teenager flees the restrictive compound where she grew up, giving birth to her twins in the woods. There, forced to fight her pursuers, her body begins to undergo mysterious changes.
We're certainly adding some of these intriguing titles to our summer reading lists! Hopefully something here has caught your eye.

I bought the pizza dough (frozen) at Walmart and defrosted it last nite. Today I made my favorite pizza, ground beef pizza.
This is a closeup of one. Its pizza sauce, shredded Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni and covered with ground beef that has been browned with a bit of pizza sauce for moisture. I love my pizzas this way. Its definitely a whole meal when one has these.
Tip: Sprinkle a bit of cornmeal, very lightly, over your baking pans and the pizzas won't stick and you won't have any grease to deal with by just this added effort.
Have a Good Day!

Have you seen Dr. Michael Obrien?
July 12th, 2017Problem with Marilyn
Dr. Obrien is an excellent surgeon and His PA is awesome. They always take great care of my son. His staff member Marilyn is rude and lately incompetent and doesn't know how to do her job. She is extremely rude and refusing to get paperwork to the right people in order to get referrals approved. I have never had a problem till now and it is taking multiple calls to get the medical documentation to the primary care dr or the insurance for a follow up appointment to get results of an MRI. FYI both the appointment to see Doctor where he ordered an MRI and the MRI referral were sent in by Dr. Obrien's office, but now that it's time for the follow up appointment, she doesn't know how and says all referrals must be put in by the primary dr and the primary dr says they can but happily will put in the referral if they get the documentation from Dr. Obrien's office which she has still not sent. I hope I don't have to look for another doctor because of the attitude and incompetence of one of his staff members. This is the only time in 7 years of seeing Dr. Obrien that I have ever been upset with one of his staff.
March 17th, 2017Worst experience ever
July 11th, 2016
Answers all questions, doesn't make patient feel insignificant. Listens. #1 in my book! Kevin is the best PA EVER!
June 2nd, 2016Not impressed
After being treated like I was making up my knee injury because it didn't hurt when it was bent a certain way, It took three days to get the MRI ordered. Then they called the wrong place. Fortunately, I work at the correct hospital and got in quickly. A wee and a half after the MRI and 2 1/2 weeks after the office visit, no One has called me to tell me what the results mean. I have seen the results because I have access to them online. Five things were found. But I don't know what they mean. Should I still be walking around on this knee? Am I making things worse? Will it heal by itself? I think it's kind of crappy that they've had the MRI report for a week and two days and have not called. I know this because I know when it was faxed to them. When people have to pay for an expensive procedure and sit through it, the respectful thing is to give them a call and let them know the results. I will be switching doctors.
February 19th, 2015Good Doctor
August 27th, 2014
September 18th, 2013
Excellent experience. Very knowledgable. Surgery went great. I am now back to the activities i was performing before blowing out my knee and having Dr. O'Brien fix it. I would highly recommend!
June 7th, 2013Simply the best!
I was unsure as what to expect, which is typical of most patients visiting a new doctor. However, I am pleasantly surprised by the consistently helpful receptionists and reliable staff of Dr. O'Briens office. Though Dr O'Brien himself looks very young, and at first I must admit I was very apprehensive, in the end he won me over. With his undeniable knowledge, wonderful disposition, and unfailing tenacity Dr O'Brien was able to persuade me to stop ALL of my favorite activities. So, begrudgingly, I began ONLY cycling and upper body weights. Doctors orders! What seemed like FOREVER, was really only a few months, but I did it! The nerve damage in my leg has all but healed. Currently I am wrapping up my Physical Therapy, which has also proven to be extremely helpful. I am now back to my Tae Kwon Do classes, minus the sparring for right now. Thanks to Dr. O'Brien I am now "stronger" than before. I would highly recommend Dr. O'Brien to all my friends and family without hesitation.
July 26th, 2012Great Doctor
Dr. found what was causing pain, consulted with patient, and was able to prescribe medication, which has helped immensely.
May 21st, 2012WOULDN'T GO BACK TO o'brien, EVEN IF I WAS DYIN'!!

Metal Surface Preparations
Surface Preparations and Treatments
Canadian equipment works hard in some of the world's toughest -- and most variable -- conditions. Exposure to rain, salt, potash, snow, dirt, heat, and cold take their toll on untreated steel. Fortunately, we can help. Our fully equipped industrial paint shop provides a range of metal surface preparations and treatments for parts and equipment used in any industry. We also offer tile lining services.
Galvanizing steel involves coating it in a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. We are capable of hot-dip galvanizing parts and components of almost any size, either to be further treated with paint and protective coatings or for direct use in a range of applications.
Powder coating involves electrostatically affixing a dry powder to metal parts before curing the coating with either heat or UV light to produce a solid, durable coating. Powder coating has benefits over conventional paint treatments. It tends to be more durable, thicker, and less environmentally detrimental.
Before treating metal with treatments like galvanization, powder coating, and industrial paint, the surfaces must be treated to maximize adhesion. Some of these treatments are physical, like abrading the metal to increase surface area....
Other surface preparations involve chemicals that alter the attributes of the surface of the metal. They may increase surface area through pitting or corroding the metal, change its ability to adhere to paints and coatings, or prevent the treatment from damaging the metal beneath the pre-treatment....
Final treatments include anything from paint or tile lining to powder coating. At this stage, the components can be decorated to match your brand or flagged with colours for safety and visibility....

The Diavolezza ski area (2978-2295m) in Engadin-St. Moritz will open to skiers and snowboarders Saturday, Oct. 16.
Engadin St. Moritz is one of the first to kick off the winter season each year, two months earlier than the majority of resorts in the Alps.
The Diavolezza ski area is known for its excellent snow conditions and difficult slopes. It is also home to the longest marked and secured glacial downhill route in Switzerland, stretching 10 kilometres.
A ski pass for the Diavolezza costs CHF61 adults, CHF41 (13-17 years), and CHF20 children (12 and under).
The Cable Car Diavolezza will begin running Oct. 16, followed by the Corvatsch aerial cable cars and the gondola lift Celerina-Marguns Nov. 20.
Engadin St. Moritz offers access to a total of 350 kilometres of ski pistes in Switzerland's largest winter sports region. The 60 modern transport facilities offer fast access to the snow-sure runs set between 1800 and 2978 metres. The area's 88 downhill runs are also scattered with 37 mountain restaurants.
St. Moritz not only offers early skiing at high altitudes, but its winter events always draw the crowds: the St. Moritz Polo World Cup on snow Jan. 27-30 and the Gourmet Festival Jan. 31 to Feb. 4.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., 28-DEC-2007 10:15 AM According to market research firm IDC, Oracle is the overall leader in the worldwide embedded database management system (DBMS) software sector.(1)
IDC states in its latest report, “Worldwide Embedded DBMS 2007�2011 Forecast and 2006 Vendor Shares,” that Oracle’s 23.2 percent of worldwide embedded DBMS software revenue by vendor surpasses the next closest vendor with 14.1 percent. Additionally, IDC notes that Oracle achieved an annual growth rate of 23.3 percent, almost double the 11.7 percent growth rate for the industry as a whole. IDC defines embedded DBMSs as database management systems sold to independent software vendors and used as components within larger software or hardware products. IDC also notes that embedded DBMSs are typically optimized for performance and small footprint and have management functions that are handled automatically by either the database or application.
“As the world market leading provider of relational DBMS software, Oracle has been increasing its attention in the embedded DBMS market in recent years,” said Carl W. Olofson, Research Vice President Application Development and Deployment, IDC. “From 2004-2006, Oracle showed strong revenue growth in its embedded DBMS products. As they continue with strong investments in this space, large RDBMS vendors such as Oracle are likely to continue to grow ahead of the market during the next five years.”
“Oracle sees a growing need for databases that are embedded within our partners’ applications and devices, running in the data center, in the network, at the edge and in the mobile environment,” said Rex Wang, vice president Embedded Systems Marketing, Oracle. “By embedding Oracle databases, partners can deliver more complete solutions faster and at lower cost. Oracle is fully committed to serving the needs of embedded developers.”
Oracle offers developers building embedded systems the industry’s broadest selection of world-class embeddable database products to meet their specific application requirements, including:
* Oracle Database — for advanced relational database features in an embeddable package;
* Oracle TimesTen — for real-time, in-memory relational data management and caching;
* Oracle Berkeley DB — for high performance, non-relational data management; and
* Oracle Database Lite — for online/offline mobile relational data management.
Requiring virtually no human administration, these products are ideal for developers in industries such as telecommunications and high technology, which have demanding requirements for intelligent edge devices and services.
