Support grows for suspended teacher
Updated 2:02 pm, Thursday, December 22, 2011
From coast to coast, parents, colleagues and former teaching peers and students have deemed New Milford High School social studies teacher Stephen Flanagan's paid suspension this week a grave injustice.
Many fear his reputation has been tainted by a gross misinterpretation of his long-standing respect and devotion to students.
Mr. Flanagan, a 26-year high school veteran who teaches AP history and other related courses, this week was placed on administrative leave after a staff member filed a formal sexual and other harassment complaint against him, based on his absence from two meetings in order to meet with a student.
For confidentiality purposes, much of the complaint narrative, including what was observed, is blacked out to protect the identify of the student or students.
Superintendent of Schools JeanAnn Paddyfote said the matter is under investigation and she could not elaborate on any details, including whether or not this relates to one or more students, or if they are male or female.
The staff member who filed the complaint has also not been identified.
Wendy Faulenbach, the chairwoman of the Board of Education, said district officials are charged with such investigations, and the board must "honor and respect the integrity of the process, and see where that takes us.''
The matter will be referred to the board only if disciplinary action were to be taken, and should the teacher opt for a board hearing.
"I hope the investigation finds its own solution,'' Ms. Faulenbach said.
Mr. Flanagan has not been able to be reached for comment.
On Facebook, a page has been created to support Mr. Flanagan.
A petition has been created and signed by hundreds to ask the Board of Education to reinstate him.
Students all week have been posting comments on Twitter and Facebook about their affection and respect for his teaching and willingness to go the extra mile for students.
"I think niceness is being turned into a crime,'' she said.
Ms. Lawson's father, David, is a member of the Board of Education.
Angela Chastain, a parent and PTO leader whose eldest son is now enrolled in Mr. Flanagan's AP history class, said Mr. Flanagan is "hugely popular'' with students and she hated to hear this news.
She said she is unaware of what occurred, but hopes the administration tends to the matter as quickly as possible.
"I just hope it's not true,'' said another parent, Lisa Terlizzi. "He seems like he is so there for the kids. I hate to see someone's reputation ruined by such an accusation. But if it's true, we need to know that.
"For the sake of the students,' she added, "I hope (the administration) does what they have to do and does not drag this out.''
NMHS social studies colleague Wisdom Jarvis said Friday the reality is that teachers walk a tightrope.
They are encouraged to be caring and sensitive to student needs in and out of the classroom, he said, yet are instructed to do so without physical contact -- handshakes only.
As for Mr. Flanagan, Mr. Jarvis said he has never observed any questionable conduct with students.
"In my experience, I have never seen him have anything but the upmost respect for the well-being of students,'' Mr. Jarvis said.
Retired colleague Brock Putnam said he finds it puzzling someone would complain because a fellow teacher missed a faculty meeting, and was late for a second, to meet with a student.
In his two decades at the high school, Mr. Putnam said, he attended many such meetings and found they were often "contrived to create death through boredom.''
"As a colleague, (Mr. Flanagan) was one of the great, outstanding teachers out there, somebody who always was going the extra mile or two for students,'' Mr. Putnam said.
Mr. Putnam said he is dismayed the administration may be attempting to "marginalize'' a teacher with "unquestionable integrity.''
"My heart goes out to Steve," said Mr. Putnam. "He's a great, gracious gentleman.'
"In my experience, I have never seen Stephen Flanagan have anything but the upmost respect for the well-being of students.''

Sagano Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
This top high level Japanese restaurant makes me very disappointed，this is my first time tried this restaurant , we ordered summerlicious menu, the food is not Japanese style at all! I ordered the chicken for main entrée, chicken taste not good ,especially very hard......and the candle Holder on the table is dirty......I won't come to this restaurant again for sure. Only good thing is the view and the service.
My husband took me to Sagano to celebrate my birthday. We had the special menu that included soup, bento box with shrimp and veg tempura, chicken teriyaki skewer and beef teriyaki skewer, couple of California roll and two pieces each of salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi. It also included green tea ice cream for dessert. Excellent value with variety. It was really good value and nice to have a little of different items. Loved it. Would recommend this restaurant. Also service was quite good. Loved the view. Will go back.
Service was good from start to finish. Waitress was very polite. We got a nice table by the window facing towards downtown Toronto. You could actually see the CN tower. We chose the Deltalicious option so it was $39.95 and it came with soup, salad, bento box (tempura shrimp and veggies, California roll, sashimi, rice, teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef and sautéed veggies), ice cream and green tea. We couldn't finish it! You do have to grab a paper slip when you park but the restaurant will validate your parking and you won't have to pay.
Dinner was delicious. Avocado salad devine. Teriyaki beef tenderloin was flavourful and tender.
What we could have done without was the restaurants refusal to accept the OpenTable rewards cheque. First the server refused. Then the manager without an explanation - he simply stated that they don't accept any cheques. Apparently, they only accept reservations through OpenTable and nothing more. Left us with a bad taste.
We had the Bento Box which was plenty of food and provides a bit of everything. Definitely quality sushi. Very fresh! Only down side is it is a bit pricy. Slightly lower price would encourage me to make this a more regular thing instead of just a special occasion.
The view is lovely, especially at sunset.
I took my family there for my partner's birthday partner but we were very disappointed by the limited menu items and what they did have was extremely overpriced. The view was not what I thought it would be as I was expecting a view of "Toronto skyline" but really it was a view of Hwy 401. The food was tasty but I wouldn't go there again for dinner. Perhaps lunch is more affordable. They charge downtown Toronto rates but are located in a Scarborough hotel.
We were the only ones in the restaurant so it was quiet (not always a good sign, however we were early). The food was very good, we had the bento box special the tempura was excellent very light and not greasy. The sushi and sashimi were fresh. The service was very good all were very polite.
The only issue we had was there was a set of stairs we were not aware of which was not great for my mother who has a walker. And when we tried to use our open table cheque to pay they would not accept it.
We found the atmosphere to be best part of our experience. It is quiet with Japanese music playing in the background. All the staff were friendly and accommodating The layout of the restaurant creates spaces that allow you to have an intimate dining space. The food is reasonably priced and fresh.
I spent a year in Japan and this place brought me back. The server was dressed in a yukata, japanese music played in the background, and the courses were filling and tasty! My only complaint would be that the meat portion was small. Otherwise a great dining experience.
Compare to the previous visits, it was a disappointing experience. The service was untimely, food quality not up to par, maybe just equivalent to some of the all-you-can eat establishments. The only bright spot was the black cod. A total waste of the ambience and the view of this once fine dining spot.
We went to Sagano in Vancouver before, service there was much better. No one greet us when we arrived, we need to find our table since our friends arrived first. No one ever ask us to register our car for parking there. The wait staffs are not attentive, our teas were never refill throughout the dinner. The wait staff who serve our soup almost soap her thumb inside. Salad and main courses presentation looks like fast food style. Quality is definitely not match such pricey Japanese restaurant. The only pros is we have a window seats table
Sagano provides you with romantic setting and great service, very appropriate for a couple's night out. However the food wasn't very special, the plates presentation was sub-par and its taste was at times a bit blend. Would recommend it for the view, not the menu.
The way they serve the customers need to be improved. Every single dishes that the waiters put it down to the table need to be soften. We were having conversation. All a sudden I heard is the dish hitting the table glass. Not only my table. Even my neighbors' tables. How hard to put down the dishes softly.
I'll keep it simple and sweet; food and service was above par. If you like semi-fine dining Japanese restaurants this one is extra special because it has a great view as well. It is also good because they are in collaboration with Group-on, so if you're looking to save look no further!

Ramps remove risk of fork lift accidents
02 February 2017
BrightHouse, the rent-to-own retail chain, has improved safety and the carbon footprint of nine UK distribution centres by modifying its loading bays using specialist mobile pedestrian ramps from Thorworld Industries.
BrightHouse’s loading bay alterations have been implemented as part of a company-wide plan to heighten operator health and safety, while minimising packaging waste and reducing delivery vehicle emissions.
Rob Higgins, a key member of the BrightHouse operation team, said: “We’d found that the practice of loading heavily packaged, shrink-wrapped pallets into distribution lorries using forklifts carried potential for accidents, required additional internal lorry space for fork lift manoeuvre, and generated both pallet and plastic waste. So we wanted to look for ways to make the delivery process leaner and safer."
A mobile pedestrian “Walkramp” designed and manufactured by Thorworld Industries provided a flexible solution for the manual loading of vehicles; removing the risk of fork lift accidents, the need for additional packaging, and requirement for space to be allocated for safe fork lift truck operations.
Thorworld’s engineers assembled an initial ramp on a test site, enabling operatives to trial the “Walkramp” over a three-month period. With high tensile aluminum floorplate entry ramps, rear casters with deadman’s brakes, hydraulic hand-pumps and 1000mm handrails, the ramp proved successful in achieving the company’s goals. The provisional apparatus was therefore retained, and eight additional ramps were assembled within BrightHouse’s other UK distribution centres.

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants,” says local-food evangelist Michael Pollan, and though his books have been translated in at least sixty-five languages including Urdu, Chicken wasn’t one of them. Even if it were, it would be lost in translation on my willful mob. Can you say “Eat food, lots of it, mostly Matthew’s plants.”
Breakfast of Chickens: The apple blossom special.
My Dilemma with Omnivores is their lack of discrimination. They seem to pick up on the coddled pheromone trail I’ve invested into my favorite varieties an go for those first. Just when a long-awaited apple, pear or tomato is heavy with itself, it’s pecked or gnawed into oblivion.
Chickens are über-omnivores: They’ll sample, trial and taste almost anything, even chicken (don’t ask). And they’ve become so unhinged lately by the delirium of Spring that they’ve even taken to browsing the blossoms off of fruit trees in the orchard. Who does that?
I’m not alone, of course. I just have a larger produce department than most home gardeners, and a few too many fowl wandering the aisles.
Annual Lamium purpurium carpets the orchard. Also known as henbit, it’s chicken candy.
I spoke about “Growing Beautiful Food” at a big garden conference last month in Connecticut, where the Master Gardeners were many, and the Q&A was mostly about predation. “Yes, it’s all very pretty, and thank you for your lovely presentation, but what about the critters? How do you keep them out? This was the idée fixe: Beauty is negotiable, plundering is not.
And while I implored them to sacrifice a few peonies for eggplant, they couldn’t get passed the loss factor. Though growing things is always fraught with peril, growing food–no matter how beautiful, healthful, and environmentally responsible—is asking for trouble. Of course, in the long haul, not growing your own, or not supporting those who do it locally and organically, is the real worry; It will be no accident when we just can’t feed ten billion people on chemically saturated agricultural land that’s dependent on a diminishing supply of petroleum. So a few wayward chickens or nibbled greens are the least of our worries.
I’m seeking absolution, I suppose; having come in from the urban cold of not knowing (or caring) where my food came from, to caring deeply and deciding to do something about it.
I came from cities – physically, psychologically. From the bump and bustle of urbanism. No planting, no growing, no harvesting. And yet, here I am in mid-life, an organic farmer, feeding my family, feeding neighbors and CSA members; lost in a headlong swoon for this crazy, sexy piece of earth, and unable to imagine a life without it.
Spring at Stonegate Farm: One sexy piece of earth.
So I let the chickens have their barter share: They lay, I look the other way. A dilemma resolved by a kind of rural détante. Sometimes letting go can be the very thing your life needs. -Mb

Our tangled galaxy of heirloom tomatoes has started to glow with color this week, and – barring a love apple apocalypse – we’ll be in fruit until frost. Caught below in flagrante delecto, they seem oblivious to blight, sun-colored and heat-swollen. Yes, there is something remarkable about a warm, unruly ravel of tomatoes, the kind of sensual squalor you don’t get from neatmarshalled rows tied up with string.
Love apple comes from the French (who else?), who thought the pomme d’amour was an aphrodisiac. The Germans had their Liebesapfel, the Italians theirpomi d’amore. It seems this little fruit gets around.
But these are tough times for the pommed’amour, and the plight of tomato farmers across the Northeast has hit prime time: Both the New York Times and NPR ran pieces on the fungusamungus, and Orange County’s black dirt region was singled out at particularly hard hit.
And the big box stores like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Lowes – where the buyin‘ is cheap – seem to be complicit (surpirsed?).
So we can add a medieval black death of tomatoes to the minus column this year. Here’s a link to the Times article: Outbreak of Fungus Threatens Tomato Crop.
My advice: Savor every sweet, local l
We Go Both Ways
Neat, marshalled rows. Efficient, very German.
The sprawl method: sensual squalor.

10429. And behold it is a stiff-necked people. That this signifies that they do not receive influx from the Lord, is evident from the signification of "stiff-necked," as being not to receive influx; for by the "neck" [cervix and collum] is signified the conjunction and communication of things higher and lower, thus influx (see n. 3542, 3603, 3695, 3725, 5320, 5328, 5926, 6033, 8079, 9913, 9914), and by "stiff" is signified that which resists and refuses, thus that which does not receive. This people is so called because they were in external things without what is internal; and they who are such, refuse all influx out of heaven or from the Lord, for influx comes through what is internal into what is external. Therefore when the internal is closed, there is not any reception of the Divine in the external, for only that is received which flows in from the world, thus only what is worldly, bodily, and earthly. Moreover, in the other life, when such persons are seen in the light of heaven, there appear as it were grates of teeth, or as it were something hairy, or as it were a bony substance without life, instead of a head and face; for the face corresponds to those things which are of the internal man, and the body to those things which are of the external man, and the neck to the conjunction of these.
 It shall here be briefly explained what is meant by being in external things without what is internal, as is said of that nation. Every man has an internal and an external, for the internal is his thought and his will, and the external is his speech and his action; but the internal with the good differs very much from the internal with the evil. Each has an internal which is called the internal man, and an external which is called the external man; the internal man being formed according to the image of heaven; but the external man according to the image of the world (n. 9279). With those who are in the good of love and in the truths of faith, the internal man is open, and by means of it they are in heaven; but with those who are in evils and in the consequent falsities, the internal man is closed, and by means of the external they are in the world only. These are they of whom it is said that they are in external things without what is internal.
 These indeed also have interiors, but the interiors with them are the interiors of their external man which is in the world, and not the interiors of the internal man which is in heaven. These interiors (namely, those of the external man when the internal is closed), are evil, nay, filthy, for such persons think solely of the world and of themselves, and wish for those things only which are of the world and of self; and think nothing at all about heaven and the Lord, nor do they wish for them. From this it can be seen what is meant by being in external things without what is internal.
 As such was the nature of the Israelitish nation, therefore when they were in a holy external their interiors were closed, because these were loathsome and unclean, that is, were full of the love of self and of the world; thus of contempt for others in comparison with themselves, of hatred against all who offended them, of ferociousness against them, and of cruelty, avarice, rapine, and other like things. That this nation was of such a character is very evident from the song of Moses in Deuteronomy (32:15-43); where it is described by the command of Jehovah; and also from Jeremiah throughout; and lastly from the Lord Himself in the Gospels.

Resstende contributed to the implementation of the Bassi Business Park renovation project in Milan. More specifically, over 1,200 internal sunscreens F 101 systems were custom-made with ceiling fastening, on all the continuous glazing of the architecture. The international prestige of Resstende is in fact linked to the high quality and exclusive design of the modern and innovative technical blinds, enhancing the essentiality of the contemporary style furnishings. For this reason, it was chosen the fabric Silkshade Alu in light grey colour, characterized by a linear structure that gives the rooms a timeless minimal elegance, supported by the sheen of the fabric that recalls that of silk. Its 3% apeness factor allows you to maintain external visibility and an effective anti-reflection effect, ensuring excellent visual comfort to better enjoy working environments. Furthermore, being a fabric with an aluminised back it reflects the sun’s rays, ensuring a comfortable temperature even during the summer months.
Once again the screen system designed by Resstende manages to integrate harmoniously to offer a remarkable visual impact and an effective solution to the needs of the client.
Angelo Vismara, Resstende Sales Technician, said: “The construction site was particularly stimulating for us, not so much for the technical complexity, but for the considerable quantity and for the high standard of the finishes required. Specifically, it was an opportunity for us to expand our knowledge network in architectural firms and manage a project aimed at the tertiary level. Given the excellent result, the hope is that, with mutual satisfaction, we will be able to continue the collaboration relationship also for future projects.”

Paccar is recalling over 3,800 Kenworth trucks due to an issue with seat belts on the 15 affected models.
According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Oct. 26, the recall pertains to model years 2018-2024 Kenworth T800 and W900 vehicles, as well as model year 2020 Kenworth T660.
“An additional spacer may have been added to the joint that connects the seat to the seat belt tether and buckle, causing an unsecured connection,” Paccar said in its notice to NHTSA.
The company said that in the event of a crash, the unsecured connection “may not properly restrain an occupant,” increasing the risk of injury to the driver of the vehicle.
Paccar added that to remedy the issue, dealers will inspect and remove the additional spacer and replace the bolt, if needed, at no charge.

I’m still way more tired than what is advisable for a normal human, but I figured that I might as well stay up until the evening and sleep in the night like normal people – So this is me staying awake!
I decided that I would try and make an effort to make a better drawing than the last one. This is a cat called Savannah, from SavannahsPawTracks.com. I couldn’t stand for the photo of this cat laying back, so I decided to draw it.
As usual, I have a little difficulties with the small details. This perspective in particular renders the head really small, and my drawings being of rather small dimensions in the first place, it was really hard not to mess up the face.. Which I did a little.. It’s a shame, because I really love this cat’s expression !
This’ll be the last one for today. I’ll grab a bite, and then I look VERY much forward to get some sleep!

Cute as a button
Isn’t she? 😉 Thanks for your comment
oh my gosh!!! your drawing took my breath away. I had forgotten to send photos of Savannah and Sage and then this showed up. It is just lovely and one of my most favorite photos of Savannah; we call her Nana. I think the face is fine. She has never ever been trusting enough to lay on her back like that again. It was about 18 or more months ago. I love this and you for giving me such a marvelous image of my precious rescue cat Nana. We have only had her 3 years. She was 5 years old when we brought her home and she was and still is very traumatized from the cruelty of people and likely others cats as she must have been outside and threatened. She is afraid of other cats but is now tolerating Sage. bless you
Thanks a lot. I’m glad you like the drawing and that Nana has found a good family to stay with!
would you please send me your email address again so I may send a photo of Sage for you to put in your queue? thanks so very much
Hi – You can send me a line through the “contact me” page and I’ll respond with my email!
We love this drawing of Savannah…..it looks like her and I think we remember this photo of her from the blog……………her showing her tummy which is one of those “ultimate trust” things for cats and Savvy being a rescue – well – it’s perfect for her! Well done Thomas.
Thanks a lot 🙂
I think you’ve handled the foreshortening really well.
Thanks. I find that foreshortening generally is much easier when i draw from photos and the subject is already an image.. At some point I’m going to try something more complicated in “real life” (in lack of a better word)
You did a great job with Savvy!
We think this is a great drawing of our pal Savannah!
I always struggled with foreshortening when I took some art classes in college. You did very well with it here. 🙂
Thanks a lot 🙂
I think it sums up Savvvy pretty well Thomas..:) get some sleep hahhah 🙂
I did 😉 Thanks 🙂
Great drawing of Savvy! The perspective is excellent and I live how you captured the curled toes!
Haha, thanks.. I like those toes..
I love the picture of Savvy!! She is a great pal and she has learnt to do that – showing trust after having had a not very nice start in life!!
Love this one, every part of it.
That’s my furriend Savvy, she looks a lot like me…and we have the same hobby 😀 Great drawing again, Thomas 🙂 They’re all great, also the doggies on the other pages. You’re super good. Pawkisses <3
Thanks a bunch 😉
What a great drawing of my BFGF (best furry girl furrend) Savvy! You rock!

Recently we have seen a crunch on our physicians in the Bow Valley. With some doctors leaving the community we are now in the unique position of having no physicians accepting new patients. This creates a challenge for all of us as we try to keep our community and ourselves in optimal health.
At the Bow Valley PCN with the support of our physician members we are doing what we can to hasten recruitment and find ways to help make this community more livable and appealing to healthcare professionals. In the meantime, we are very grateful for our excellent doctors currently living and working in the valley.
As patients, what can we do to make the most of our current healthcare services? And what can we do to minimize the impact on our overburdened physicians so they are able to offer the highest level of care? Most appointments are 10-15 minutes long, including paperwork, so our physicians often find themselves working after hours to complete their work in order to give the best one-on-one care to their patients.
Here are a few suggestions on what you can do to make the most of your appointments:
If you do have a doctor and a second address in a city centre such as Calgary or Edmonton, please consider finding a doctor in one those regions where doctor shortages are less of a problem. Your doctor can likely recommend someone who would be a good fit with your needs.
For those who do not have a family doctor, please be patient as organizations in the Bow Valley work to address this shortage. Walk-in appointments can booked with a physician at Banff Alpine Medical Clinic (please call ahead 403-762-3155). Please note that this clinic is not accepting new patients does offer appointments for single-issue visits (e.g. urinary tract infections, injuries, STI’s).
If you require urgent emergency care please visit the Banff Mineral Springs Hospital or Canmore General Hospital.

A Marion man is lending his skills in Thailand to help rescue 12 boys and their coach trapped inside a cave.
Thanet Ntisri is a crucial part of the rescue mission that, as of Monday morning, had saved eight out of 12 boys from the inside of an underwater cave, according to KFVS news.
The boys, ranging in age from 11-16, have been trapped in the cave system since June 23, after heavy rains flooded the network.
Ntisri, who is originally from Thailand, is a groundwater expert and also co-owns the restaurant THAI-D with his wife, Yada Natisriin, in Marion.
According to the restaurant's Facebook page, Ntisri is in charge of maintaining the water level inside the cave.
"He pumps the water out of the cave and leads the exploration team to stop the water from entering the cave through sinkholes," the post said.
According to KFVS News, Natisri was doing charity work in Thailand when the 12 soccer players and their coach became trapped in the cave by floodwaters.
As of Monday morning, eight boys had been rescued from inside the cave.

A recent study suggests that supposedly gluten-sensitive people may actually be dealing with a sensitivity to something other than gluten.
Led by researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway and Monash University in Australia, the study was published in the journal Gastroenterology.
While about 13 percent of people believe themselves to be gluten-sensitive due to symptoms like feeling bloated after eating foods like bread and pasta, reports suggest that only one percent of people actually have celiac disease, which can cause a severe autoimmune reaction to gluten that includes symptoms such as diarrhea and indigestion.
The new study suggests a sugar chain called fructans, not gluten, is what many people are sensitive to. Both fructans and gluten are found in wheat, barley, rye, and more.
“Gluten was originally assumed to be the culprit because of celiac disease, and the fact that people felt better when they stopped eating wheat,” Monash University’s Peter Gibson told New Scientist. “Now it seems like that initial assumption was wrong.”
Gluten sensitivity is a controversial subject, with some research suggesting non-celiacs show no difference in symptoms between food that does or doesn’t contain gluten. Nonetheless, it has since spawned a number of food lines that are gluten free.
In the new research, 59 non-celiacs who ate a gluten-free diet were asked to eat special cereal bars. One bar contained gluten, another fructans, and the third had neither. The study participants were split into three groups, with each person eating one bar a day for a week, before having a week’s break and then eating the next bar. They didn’t know which bar was which.
The results showed that the fructans bar triggered bloating 15 percent more than the control bar, and also triggered gastrointestinal symptoms 13 percent more. However, the gluten bar was found to be no different from the control bar.
The study results suggest that gluten sensitivity may not be misdiagnosed in many cases, while fructans may instead be the cause. This could increase the popularity of foods that are low in fructans but high in gluten, like soy sauce, while also lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes for people that were on a gluten-free diet.
Another possible culprit in the gluten controversy is the herbicide called Roundup. Roundup and other herbicides contain a deadly active ingredient to wheat and barley known as glyphosate. Glyphosate causes inflammation over months and years of exposure, leading to consequences such as gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, to name a few.
Many Americans may have gluten intolerance and not know about it. Here are 10 Warning Signs of Gluten Intolerance Everyone Ignores!
For those with celiac disease, most celiac disease treatment starts with changing what you’re eating. Celiac disease causes more than 200 symptoms, but with a proper celiac disease diet, many symptoms are avoidable.

Few years ago Gavin and I stayed at a rural farmhouse few miles outside the historic medieval town of Granada at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Granada is located in Anadlucia, Spain, and is probably one of the most popular tourist attractions of the entire country due to its rich heritage, stunning location and the world famous, Alhambra Castle.
Due to the Moorish conquest of present day Andalucia over two thousand years ago, the city retains its Islamic influences in architecture, music and food. The “El Albayzin” or the old Arab quarter of Granada is a maze of narrow cobbled streets dotted with whitewashed houses and quaint cafes perfect for seesha smoking and sunset watching from one of its numerous terraces.
The other area of note in Granada is the gypsy quarter of Sacromonte, which before the Spanish civil war, was home to thousands of gypsies and bohemians. When walking through it these days you can still come across an impromptu performance of flamenco at one of the many tapas bar that have sprung up in this area.
Of course, the reason that tourists flock to Granada is to see the magnificent red stone fortress, alcazab, and palace, alcazar, of Alhambra which was constructed in the 13th century by the Moorish kings as the primary residence and defence fortress of the Kingdom of Alhambra. The beauty and symmetry of its architecture, intricate stone work, slender columns, fresh water pools and fountains scattered around well tended gardens can evoke emotions in the most cynic of us. It really is quite a sight and I would highly recommend making an advance reservation for a visit using the ticketmaster website as the number of visitors each day are strictly controlled.
All of this brings me to the reason I started typing this post: our unforgettable stay at an authentic Andalucian working equestrian centre and farmhouse. We rented out part of the living quarter of rural casa “Cortijo de Camara” and had a splendid experience. Our living room in the cottage overlooked the stable with at least half a dozen horses and an open barn with turkeys and roosters. This traditional Andalucian house with white washed walls is superbly decorated with local pottery and crafts. Because we went there soon after Christmas (on new year’s eve, to be precise) the Christmas decorations were still up and that gave the whole place a lovely warm feel. On the first night, Gavin made a roaring fire but during our stay it progressively got warmer (this is Spain, remember!) and we got to throw open the windows for some much needed sunshine.
Many interesting day trips are also within reach of Granada as it is in close proximity to the mountains and the rugged coastline. One day I will write a post about the palaeolithic caves of Nerja and the hobbit houses of Gaudix that you can easily visit from Granada but for now here are some photos.

PANAJI: The Mhadei case has been scheduled for the Supreme Court’s next hearing on August 5, 2024.
Within eight weeks starting on February 8, all three riparian states Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra are free to submit additional written submissions, with a maximum length of ten pages.
After almost seven months, the matter was brought before the Supreme Court on February 8. The subject matter was heard for the last time on July 10, 2023.
Karnataka had indicated that they wished to submit more papers and documentation.
The court declared, “The necessary may be done within a period of three weeks from today.” The SC has requested that a nodal counsel be nominated by each of the three states in order to bookmark the convenience compilations.
The Goa government has also filed a special leave petition (SLP) challenging the Mhadei Disputes Tribunal’s award over allocation of water by three riparian States.
The matter was earlier twice listed for hearing for two consecutive days first in the last week of November and again in the first week of December last year. But it did not come up for hearing and was posted for hearing after Christmas and winter vacation.
The SLP filed by the Goa government in July 2019 was last heard in July last year. Goa government has challenged the decision of the Mhadei Water Dispute Tribunal (MWDT) granting Karnataka 13.42 tmc (thousand million cubic feet) of water for its Kalasa-Bhandura drinking water-cum-irrigation project.

While Wimbledon has been shaken by tremendous upsets in the early days of the tournament, there are still some terrific matches to watch as the round of 16 approaches.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer saw their way to early exits in the opening rounds, but top-seeded players like Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer and Andy Murray are still firmly entrenched in a pursuit of a Grand Slam victory.
And, of course, the stakes are immensely high for the both Djokovic and Murray.
For the world No. 1, winning at Wimbledon is almost an expectation, especially with Nadal having already exited the tournament in shocking fashion. Until someone proves otherwise, Djokovic is the man to beat.
But Murray has plenty of motivation for completing the improbable. As has been widely noted throughout the tournament, a British player hasn’t won the men’s singles championship since 1936.
Despite missing the French Open with a back injury, Murray has yet to lose a set at Wimbledon, quelling many of those concerns as he eyes a potential finals showdown with Djokovic. Early round upsets aside, there’s plenty to watch for in the fourth round of the event.
Let’s take a look at three particularly intriguing round of 16 matchups and break down the importance of each as we inch closer to crowning a Wimbledon champion.
3. Andy Murray vs. Mikhail Youzhny
After cruising through his first two matches in straight sets, Murray appears poised to make a serious run at the title this year. With Nadal and Federer both out of the tournament, his path seems a little clearer.
No. 20 seed Mikhail Youzhny can’t be taken lightly, though. Apart from the very real possibility of an upset in keeping with the theme of Wimbledon this year, Murray also has to dodge a player who has notched two straight-set victories through three rounds.
Still, Murray was absolutely dominant in his three-set dismantling of Tommy Robredo in the third round, and it’s hard to envision a scenario in which the world No. 2 doesn’t continue his masterful performance with a win in the round of 16. At least for now, the British still have a very real possibility of ending the curse with a Murray victory this year.
2. Bernard Tomic vs. Tomas Berdych
David Ferrer may be a more intriguing player to watch for the remainder of the tournament, but the prospect of a Djokovic-Berdych quarterfinals matchup is reason enough to put this match on the map.
Apart from the obvious talent in this round of 16 contest, there’s also the possibility that Berdych skates past Tomic for a shot at repeating his Rome Masters success against No. 1 Djokovic after besting the top seed 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in that event. It’s never good to look past an opponent, but Berdych certainly has reason to feel confident if he escapes Tomic.
Still, Tomic isn’t going to make that easy. The 20-year-old stunned No. 9 seed Richard Gasquet in four sets on Friday to notch a round of 16 appearance, and he’ll be riding a lot of momentum into this showdown.
1. Novak Djokovic vs. Tommy Haas
Tommy Haas has been around a long time—or at least long enough to know that an upset over the top-seeded Djokovic would bring him exponentially closer to a finals appearance with only one seeded player remaining in the bottom half of the draw.
At 35, Haas has battled numerous injuries to get to this point in his career, and while it may be winding down, he has proved through the first three rounds that he still has enough in the tank to give Djokovic a run for his money.
Unfortunately, he was in this situation at Roland Garros and didn’t enjoy the result he would have hoped for.
In the quarterfinals at the French Open, Djokovic rallied to a three-set victory over the 35-year-old in dominant fashion. This rematch has the potential for some fireworks, but Djokovic certainly has the upper hand.


It is not every day that the chairman of one of Britain's biggest businesses is blind-sided by the Leader of the Opposition. But that was the position Sir Roger Carr found himself in on Tuesday when Ed Miliband, son of a Marxist academic and the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Prime Minister, announced that he would be introducing a policy thick with the whiff of Eau d'1970s price controls.
"If we win the election in 2015 the next Labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017," Miliband told an enraptured audience in Brighton. "Your bills will not rise. It will benefit millions of families and millions of businesses."
Sir Roger, the chairman of Centrica, the owner of British Gas, was astonished. With volatile wholesale markets and ever increasing environmental costs, a price freeze could only mean one thing a squeeze on margins and an attack on the very commercial future of the business.
The knock-on effects, he knew, could be calamitous. Not only are billions of pounds of forward contracts on gas imports vital for Britain dependent on counter-party confidence that Centrica will be able to pay its way, investment in new infrastructure is governed by investor confidence that there will be a suitable return on capital employed.
Lose that, and shareholders would quite rightly demand either the money is invested elsewhere in Centrica's global business (such as high-returns America) or is simply returned to
So when Robert Peston, the BBC's business editor, called to seek Sir Roger's response, the FTSE veteran was more than ready.
"If prices were to be controlled against a background of rising costs it would simply not be economically viable for Centrica, or indeed any other energy supplier, to continue to operate," Sir Roger said. "We are all concerned about rising prices and the impact on consumers, but we also have a very real responsibility that we find supplies to make sure the lights stay on."
The following day the full impact of Miliband's price pledge was revealed. With Centrica and SSE's share price sinking, Neil Woodford, Centrica's largest shareholder, told the Telegraph that the Labour leader's move was tantamount to "economic vandalism".
"Here we have a serious politician, standing up and saying what he said, which I think at a stroke torpedoed any chance that any of that investment will happen between now and the next election," Woodford, the head of Invesco Perpetual, said.
"If Centrica and SSE cannot make any money supplying electricity to the retail market then they won't supply it. The lights will go off, the economy will shut down."
The proposal by Miliband variously described as bold or the move of a lunatic has sparked a furious debate.
What is the real reason behind ever rising bills, at a time when profit margins are broadly stable? Is it right that Miliband can claim that the energy companies are to blame, when a large part of the increased costs are down to carbon and
environmental targets put in place when he was energy secretary under the last Labour government?
As the Conservatives gather in Manchester this weekend for their annual conference, the semblance of a fightback by the energy giants is starting to formulate.
As The Sunday Telegraph reveals today, Centrica and SSE are both pushing for a new deal with the Government. You delay some of the more onerous green targets, they are arguing, and we will take the pressure off bills.
It seems the Coalition, at least the Conservative side of it, is nibbling with strong suggestions that the complicated Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) scheme for insulating thousands of people's
homes could be watered down.
Yesterday, George Osborne gave a clear signal when he said "you have to constantly assess the value for money of your energy policies and obligations".
The original ECO deadline of March 2015 for the programme which could cost up to £4.5bn could now be pushed out as far as the end of 2016.
Centrica and SSE see this as a double win. The environmental work will still be done, but on a slightly slower time scale. For the Government, the upward pressure on bills the ECO scheme costs make up a significant part of what consumers and businesses pay would be delayed until after the next general election.
Both sides of the political debate know that the increasing cost of energy bills is a toxic issue. In 2007, a typical British Gas dual fuel customer bill came in at £838. By last year, a stream of inflation-busting price rises had seen that figure rise more than 40pc, to £1,188. Yet over the same period, household incomes have risen just 3pc.
The Big Six suppliers insist they are not to blame.
"Around half a dual fuel bill is energy bought in global markets, one quarter is regulated costs for using and upgrading energy networks, and around 10pc are 'stealth taxes' put in place by successive governments to fund low carbon energy, social policies and energy efficiency schemes," Alistair Phillips-Davies, chief executive of SSE, said. "For the record, 5pc is VAT and around 5pc energy supply business profits."
Nine in 10 people, he claimed, had no idea they were paying such "stealth taxes" through their energy bills. "Perhaps it's little wonder when politicians conveniently forget to mention them, and the fact that they backed them."
Politicians such as Miliband, who served as Britain's first climate change secretary in the last Labour administration, drove into law a uniquely demanding target to cut this country's carbon emissions by 80pc from 1990 to 2050.
To do so, Britain would need to spend tens of billions of pounds on new wind farms, nuclear plants and yet-to-be-invented green technologies as well as drastically cutting carbon emissions from draughty old homes. Back in 2009, Miliband was prepared to defend those costs. "There is no low-cost energy future," he declared. Going green would be expensive but so too would the alternative of relying on fossil fuels.
The price of fossil fuels has undeniably contributed to the rise in bills. Wholesale energy costs accounted for £378 of a typical bill in 2007. By last year that figure had reached £568.
The costs of carbon-reduction policies have now started to add significantly to bills, too. Some £112 of last year's £1,188 annual bill accounted for "environmental and social policies", up from just £33 in 2007.
Phillips-Davies and Tony Cocker, the chief executive of E.ON, both called for the Government to ease the pressure on consumers by taking the charges off bills.
In a letter to Miliband, Cocker wrote: "At a stroke you could remove a large cost from energy bills simply by moving these costs to general taxation."
The problem is only going to get worse. According to Credit Suisse, costs for the Big Six energy suppliers combined are likely to rise by £3.2bn per year in coming years necessitating a 6pc to 7pc annual rise in household fuel bills "even with flat fossil fuel prices".
There will be significantly more subsidies for new plants, as well as the rising costs of paying National Grid and other network companies that operate Britain's gas pipeline and electricity cables. These charges, set by the regulator Ofgem, have already risen by £75 since 2007, accounting for £283 on a bill and will rise further as companies undertake major upgrades and construct power lines to remote wind farms.
Suppliers say the ECO scheme - just one of a myriad environmental policies - is poorly designed, inefficient and will inevitably drive up bills. Analysts at Citigroup estimate that, all-in, bills could rise a further 50pc by 2020, "mainly due to the impact of government policies, renewables subsidies and network costs".
Peter Atherton, energy analyst at Liberum Capital, has long warned of a potential affordability crisis over the costs of the decarbonisation drive. "The energy consumer is being asked to fund the entire cost of the programme," he noted earlier this year.
"If at any point the consumer becomes unable or unwilling to pay the cost then the decarbonisation policy will fail."
"The big test for the sustainability of policy will be the willingness of future governments to defend both rising consumer bills and the profits that will inevitably flow from the hundreds of billions of pounds of investment that the government policy calls for."
Last week, the crisis arrived. All eyes are now on how the Government will respond. Will they back down on some of the green tariffs or will they ape Labour and accuse the energy companies of profiteering?
Sir Roger Carr is hoping that David Cameron and his ministers choose the pro-business option. British Gas says that social and environmental levies contributed £112 to a typical dual fuel bill of £1,188 last year. This includes:
£23 from each household to pay the so-called Renewables Obligation, which subsidises wind farms
£6 to pay "Feed in Tariff" subsidies for household solar panels and other green technologies
£22 costs of EU emissions schemes
£49 costs of carrying out obligatory energy efficiency schemes, under which companies had to install carbon-saving measures such as cavity wall insulation and new boilers in customers' homes
£12 levied on all customers to pay for bill reductions to the poorest customers

It’s become pretty clear in recent times that vinyl is experiencing a revival, despite the proposed conspiracy that the record labels did their best to off the wax format with the advent of CDs its resurgence is something that’s had ongoing effects through the industry. From saving retailers who are otherwise suffering from the decline of physical sales, to audiophiles claiming vinyl as the last bastion of the album format.
The moral of the story? Much like a record spinning on the platter, ‘what goes around comes around’. A sentiment that’s best illustrated by the news that arguably the most important band of the modern era are re-releasing their influential catalogue on vinyl.
On November 13th, EMI will finally deliver what fans of The Beatles have been waiting for since the digitally remastered CD and downloadble versions were released in 2009 – all 12 of the band’s studio albums, as well as the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack and the Past Masters compilation on vinyl.
The new vinyl releases are the remastered stereo versions and will be available individually, while purists can take solace in the fact that the label is planning to release new mono versions of the albums in early 2013.
There’s also a limited edition set that will contain all 14 releases across 16 LPs, as well as including reproductions such as the Sgt. Pepper’s cutouts, the posters that came packaged with The White Album as well as a new hardbound book filled with photographs and chapters dedicated to each record’s era.
The collector’s set will contain all 14 releases across 16 LPs, as well as including reproductions such as the Sgt. Pepper’s cutouts, the posters that came packaged with The White Album as well as a new hardbound book filled with photographs and chapters dedicated to each record’s era.
As for the quality of the new vinyl remasters, a press release vows that “the restored versions were compared side-by-side against the original vinyl pressings (loaded into Pro Tools), and then again auditioned in the same studio where all recent Beatles projects, including [Cirque De Soleil’s 2006 mash-up album] Love, were mixed.”
Such quality would have have certainly helped UK Mathematicians who finally cracked the mystery of how to replicate the unique chord that begins ‘A Hard Day’s Night.’
In related news, Mark Chapman, John Lennon’s killer who last month seeked parole 31 years after he was convicted for murder, was denied for the seventh.

Canada had established complete sovereignty as an independent country, although the monarch is retained as sovereign. In 1999, Nunavut became Canada’s third territory after a series of negotiations with the federal government.
Is Canada truly an independent nation?
Canada has complete sovereignty as an independent country, however, and the Queen’s role as monarch of Canada is separate from her role as the British monarch or the monarch of any of the other Commonwealth realms. Canada, like some other Commonwealth nations, maintains the Queen as head of state.
Is Canada still under British rule?
Many Americans may not realize it, but Canada is still tied to the British monarchy. Queen Elizabeth served as Canada’s head of state for nearly half of its time as a country, and remained a popular figure among Canadians right up until her death on Sept. 8 at age 96.
Why is Canada not an independent country?
An independent nation
In 1982, it adopted its own constitution and became a completely independent country. Although it’s still part of the British Commonwealth—a constitutional monarchy that accepts the British monarch as its own. Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada.
Does the queen rule Canada?
The Queen’s Role
As in all her realms, The Queen of Canada is a constitutional monarch, acting entirely on the advice of Canadian Government ministers.
Does Canada pay taxes to England?
Canadian taxes don’t go to the Queen. No member of the royal family receives anything directly from Canada. But Canadians taxes go towards providing accommodation, transportation, and security when they’re in Canada or representing Canada. This isn’t different from what a country has to do for foreign dignitaries.
When did Canada really become fully independent?
Canada Act, also called Constitution Act of 1982, Canada’s constitution approved by the British Parliament on March 25, 1982, and proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on April 17, 1982, making Canada wholly independent.
Who can declare war in Canada?
A declaration of war by Canada is a formal declaration issued by the Government of Canada (the federal Crown-in-Council) indicating that a state of war exists between Canada and another nation.
Why is Canada separate from America?
The British suspected the Americans had plans to take over Canada and so in 1867, Great Britain granted Canada dominion status with permission to self-govern. Great Britain retained control over defense and diplomacy. The move was largely viewed to safeguard against American takeover of Canadian territory.
Can The Queen overrule the prime minister?
The monarch remains constitutionally empowered to exercise the royal prerogative against the advice of the prime minister or the cabinet, but in practice would likely only do so in emergencies or where existing precedent does not adequately apply to the circumstances in question.
Does Canada give money to the Queen?
What do Canadians pay to the Crown? Each Canadian pays approximately $1.55 to the Crown, totalling almost $59 million annually. These fees go to the Governor General, who not only represents the Queen but also carries out the parliamentary duties of the sovereign in their absence.
Who does Canada belong to?
Although the person of the sovereign is shared with 14 other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, each country’s monarchy is separate and legally distinct.
Monarchy of Canada.
|King of Canada|
|Heir apparent||William, Prince of Wales|
|Residences||Rideau Hall, Ottawa La Citadelle, Quebec City|
|Website||Monarchy and the Crown|
What was Canada called before Canada?
the North-Western Territory
Prior to 1870, it was known as the North-Western Territory. The name has always been a description of the location of the territory.
What is Queen Elizabeth salary?
The Queen received an annual £7.9 million a year from the civil list between .
Who owns the most land in Canada?
The largest single landowner in Canada by far, and by extension one of the world’s largest, is the Government of Canada. The bulk of the federal government’s lands are in the vast northern territories where Crown lands are vested in the federal, rather than territorial, government.
Who owns the land in Canada?
So, Who Owns Canada? The land of Canada is solely owned by Queen Elizabeth II who is also the head of state. Only 9.7% of the total land is privately owned while the rest is Crown Land. The land is administered on behalf of the Crown by various agencies or departments of the government of Canada.
Is Canada a nation state or nation state?
Places like France, Egypt, Germany, and Japan are excellent examples of nation-states. There are some States which have two nations, such as Canada and Belgium. Even with its multicultural society, the United States is also referred to as a nation-state because of the shared American “culture.”
Why doesn’t Canada fit the nation state concept?
-State that Canada doesnt fit into the nation state concept because its citizens follow many different religions, and it has regional political parties.
Why is Canada a multinational state?
According to Canadian political philosopher Charles Blattberg, Canada should be seen as a multinational country. All Canadians are members of Canada as a civic or political community, a community of citizens, and this is a community that contains many other kinds within it.
Is Canada binational?
Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching 8,891 kilometres (5,525 mi), is the world’s longest binational land border.
What are examples of stateless nations?
They are thus “stateless nations”. Examples of stateless nations: The Kurds currently reside in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey, but they have not established an internationally-recognized state based on their national identity.

Nothing Ghetto (Ge Ge Ge) is a single by pdkotetsu that was self-released in 2013. The genres for this are footwork and juke (both are very similar to eachother).
This is a really nice and the sample material gives it an interesting and unique vibe. Cut up somewhat odd singing and acoustic guitar over a very hard to dance to 808 assault. Juke and footwork are purposely hard to dance to and this would qualify. The beats shuffle around and stutter a lot. This is a really nice track. Also pdkotetsu is part of ピクニック・ディスコ, who I’ve posted about before here: ♥♥♥

I've enjoyed the Welsh Open so far. The snooker's been good, the crowds have been good and we've had the right mix of shock results and top players getting through.
Marco Fu could well give Ronnie O'Sullivan problems today. He is 7-7 on career meetings with the world champion - an excellent record and better than most can boast.
Fu beat O'Sullivan 9-6 in last season's Royal London Watches Grand Prix final. He also won 5-4 at the China Open, although on that occasion O'Sullivan resorted to bashing the balls around in the decider.
O'Sullivan doesn't particularly like playing the Hong Kong potter because Fu is methodical and keeps his emotions inside, so that he remains an inscrutable presence at the table.
The latest chapter of O'Sullivan v Fu is live at 1pm UK time.
The other main TV match tonight pits John Higgins against Neil Robertson.
Higgins's form comes and goes. He didn't put much practice in for the event as he took his wife and three children to Center Parcs for a holiday over the weekend.
Nevetherless, the twice world champion is always a danger and Robertson will have to play better than he did against Jamie Burnett to stay on course for a second Welsh title, having won in Newport two years ago.

On Fox News today, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) came right out and says what the rest of the Hill is already thinking:
“This whole Goldman Sachs thing — isn’t that a little odd that all of a sudden, right at the height of this legislative period, we suddenly have the SEC filing suit against Goldman Sachs? I think the timing is very suspect.”
[. . .]
“There’s something terribly wrong here and I don’t know what it is, but to do that right at this particular time, yknow, the timing is very suspect in my eyes.”
UPDATE: And true to form, the tireless Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) wants answers:
“The timing of the SEC’s filing of a civil securities fraud action against Goldman Sachs has created serious questions about the commission’s independence and impartiality,” said Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, in a letter to the SEC on Tuesday.
An SEC spokesman had no comment.
Issa is asking Schapiro to provide information on whether any SEC employees or commissioners told the Obama administration or key Democrats and Democratic campaign committees about its plans to charge Goldman before the case was publicly announced.
“The events of the past five days have fueled legitimate suspicion on the part of the American people that the commission has attempted to assist the White House, the Democratic party, and Congressional Democrats by timing the suit to coincide with the Senate’s consideration of financial regulatory legislation, or by providing Democrats with advance notice,” Issa said in the letter.

MIAMI, FL JULY 8, 2019 – Hotel Connections has named Mike Appleton its new CEO and hired Jefferey Humin in a push towards global expansion.
Appleton is succeeding Kenneth Shanley, the longtime industry veteran who has held the position of CEO since founding the company in 1997. Shanley, who marveled at the company’s “humble beginnings out of a small hotel room which I used as an office in midtown Manhattan,” remarked how he was “incredibly proud of how far this company has come; now providing cutting-edge solutions and reliability on a global scale.”
Shanley’s penchant for innovation will certainly be missed at the helm, as in the two decades since he launched his pioneering solution for crew logistics management, the company has grown to serve over 60 airlines worldwide and process 8 million room nights annually with 7 global operations centers and 350 full-time employees. Nevertheless, he is proud to be leaving the company in good hands.
“Mike has proven his leadership and will continue the path I set forth in our future innovation and global expansion,” said Shanley. “I am pleased to pass the torch of CEO to him, and will be watching closely to see how he brings to life technologies that reimagine the possibilities for converging the leisure and professional traveler experience.”
Appleton, who formerly served as president of Hotel Connections, has been critical to growing the company’s international footprint over the last 5 years most notably with the recent additions of Etihad and Japan Airlines. Appleton brings a wealth of experience to the position and industry, having previously worked in the financial services industry at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse.
The announcement comes in the wake of several key leadership changes at the organization. In June, Hotel Connections appointed Jeffrey Humin as their Chief Revenue Officer. Humin joined the company from Sabre, where he spent the last six years running the business development team focused on growing revenue for the Sabre Airline Solutions division within an ecosystem of 100+ strategic partners.
Shanley stated, “We are incredibly excited about the direction our company is taking and the key structural changes we have made recently. These changes will allow us to continue to scale our business for the tremendous growth that we have been experiencing and to continue to provide a world-class customer experience led by the most innovative technology solutions on the market.”
