During World War II, the Czech resistance assassinated Nazi General Reinhard Heydrich. The Germans retaliated by randomly selecting the small village of Lidice for punishment. All of the men older than 16 were lined up and shot. Women were sent to concentration camps where many died. Most of Lidice’s children were shipped to Poland, where they were gassed.

This traveling exhibit, created by the Czech government, tells in 19 panels the why, where, and how of the Nazi military’s notorious revenge.

Veteran re-enactor Charles Everett Pace brings his one man show to Kansas City to portray prominent abolitionist and social reformer Frederick Douglass.

Born enslaved in 1818, Douglass successfully escaped from bondage in 1838 and quickly rose to the front ranks of leading abolitionists, becoming the most famous black American of his day. In the years leading up to the Civil War, his incisive anti-slavery writings and mesmerizing speeches reached broad audiences in the United States and the British Isles. Following emancipation, Douglass continued to lecture and write on civil rights issues, including women’s rights and desegregation. He wrote several versions of his autobiography between 1845 and 1892.

Huge search operation as wildlife volunteer John Harvey missing on Canterbury nature reserve for 12 days

31 January 2013
by Danny Boyle

John Harvey went missing at Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, near Canterbury

by Gerry Warren

The family of a wildlife volunteer missing for 12 days on a Canterbury nature reserve is clinging to hope he might still be found alive.

The search for 54-year-old John Harvey at the 600-acre Stodmarsh reserve has now become the biggest operation in Kent for two years.

It is feared the nature expert (pictured right) might have encountered trouble while attempting to take photographs in the reserve.

A search party of more than 50 police, volunteers and dogs were joined by Mr Harvey's partner Stephanie Austin, 59, and 28-year-old daughter Claire Harvey on Sunday.

Mrs Austin, who has been with Mr Harvey for 21 years, said: "We just wanted to go there ourselves and thank everyone who is trying so hard to find John.

"It's a huge effort and they are marvellous. He's out there somewhere and we haven't given up hope they will find him."

The police officer leading the investigation said he had no reason to suspect Mr Harvey had wanted to harm himself.Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, near Canterbury

DI Jon Holl said: "We are still treating it as a missing person's inquiry. One theory is that Mr Harvey, who was very keen on nature and photography, went to the reserve in the evening in the hope of catching some atmospheric pictures.

"We believe he had his camera equipment with him because it is not at his home or in his car. But it is possible that he may have got into trouble in the cold and icy conditions.

"We are doing everything possible to try and find him and are grateful to the Kent Search and Rescue volunteers who have been lending their expertise and support.

"We have even had a specialist team from Ireland come over with sonar equipment, which they have been using to search the river

"But the terrain is very difficult. There are many reed ponds and the water is more than 6ft deep in places.

"Now we plan to put up the helicopter again to take some detailed aerial photographs of the reserve to see if they reveal anything."

Mr Harvey - who lives in Monkton Road, Minster, Thanet - and works as a Unipart salesman across east Kent, was reported missing on Sunday, January 20. His Ford Focus car was found in the reserve car park on Tuesday last week.

Now it emerged he was a highly-regarded volunteer for the Woodland Trust and was named volunteer of the year by the charity in 2011 and knew the local nature reserves well.

Mrs Austin said: "John is passionate about nature, and particularly trees, and regularly gave talks and slideshows.

"He knew the reserve well and the snow at the time would have changed its atmosphere, which he may well have wanted to photograph.

"The woodland has been a lifelong passion of his and even when we went away on holiday, he would be up at the crack of dawn to go for a walk and take pictures." Missing John Harvey with partner Stephanie Austin

Police have issued a poster in a bid to find out if there have been any other sightings of Mr Harvey, whose Ford Focus was last seen heading down Sturry Road towards Sturry at about 9pm on Saturday, January 19.

He is described as white, stockily-built, and 5ft 8in tall, with brown receding hair. He was last seen wearing black trousers, a black jumper, a black coat and black shoes.

Anyone with information that could help in the search should phone Kent Police on 101.

Mission Staff

Ambassador/ Permanent Representative Ambassador/Deputy Permanent Representative Counsellor 1 covers 5th Committee Counsellor 2 covers 6th Committee Consul Officer Administrative Attaché United Nations New York

The Kenya Mission to the United Nations serves as the Kenya delegation to the United Nations. Through diplomacy, negotiation, lobbying and daily monitoring of UN activities, the Mission’s main objective is to advance Kenya’s interests at the United Nations in critical areas namely: political, economic and social as well as legal, military, public diplomacy and management interests. The Mission covers a wide range of the Ministry’s Foreign Policy objectives, from peaceful resolution of disputes to protecting the environment as well as promoting sustainable development. The Mission externalizes Kenya domestic policies in a wide range of thematic issues and areas of interests to the country.

The Mission conducts multilateral and bilateral relations with representatives of the 193 UN Member States, over 30 Observer Missions, many Non-Governmental Organizations with observer status and the United Nations Secretariat, which serves member states. It also works with UN Funds and Programmes such as UN children’s fund (UNICEF), the UN Developmental Programme (UNDP), the UN Gender Entity on Women (UN Women), and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) amongst others.

The Kenya Mission implements the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from which it implements specific multi-lateral mandate based on an annual performance contract it signs with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). This means that the Mission in New York promotes the same Mission, Vision and Core Values as contained in the MFA’s current Strategic Plan and its Service Charter, although, the service charter is adapted to the specific roles and functions of the Mission and its circumstances.

This year, 2013, Kenya is celebrating its 50 years of independence and 50 years anniversary as a member State of the United Nations; Kenya became a member of United Nations (UN) on 16th December 1963 and has since played a pivotal role in shaping international multilateral diplomacy here in New York.

Kenya is actively represented in all the six committees of the UN, ensuring that our national interests and views are taken into account in all areas, levels and circumstances. Other areas of focus include the reforms of the Security Council, improvement in the UN finances and strengthening of the UN capacity to deal with economic and social issues, peacekeeping and peace-building and conflict prevention amongst others. Kenya has been in the forefront of efforts to develop practical proposals for reforms of the Security Council, ECOSOC and the UN in general to make the institutions more responsive and strong to deal with modern challenges.

Ambassador/Permanent Representative

It takes exceptional skills and dedication to fully leverage the opportunities for a country like Kenya that exists in a place like the United Nations. The Kenya Mission to the United Nations, despite its small size and limited staff cohort, has proven itself time and again to be up to the task and to have the skills and the dedication to fully engage in the interest of the Kenyan Republic and it's people.

Ambassador/Deputy Permanent Representative

The United Nations Headquarters in New York is the busiest and the most exciting environment I have worked in yet. There are 193 countries and over thirty (30) Missions with observer status represented here. It is truly a beehive of activity. The Kenya mission to the United Nations is rated as one of the key and significant missions represented here. Kenya enjoys a high and respected profile.

Kenya to host Conference on South-South Co-operation: 1 - 3 December, 2009

The United Nations General Assembly on 6th October, 2009 adopted a resolution deciding on the convening of the United Nations High-Level Conference on South-South Cooperation from 1-3 December, 2009 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Conference will be the first after the establishment of South-South Co-operation framework 30 years ago in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Conference in Nairobi was scheduled to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action that laid down the principles and modalities for co-operation among developing countries. Its main objective is to review progress and challenges within the South-South Co-operation framework.

South-South Co-operation is a broad framework for collaboration among countries of the South in political, economic, social, environmental and technical domains. It takes place on bilateral, regional, sub-regional and intra - as well as inter-regional bases. Developed countries and international organizations support and reinforce South-South Co-operation through arrangements referred to as triangular co-operation.

The resolution adopted yesterday, among others, decides on the venue, dates, main theme and sub-themes as well as expected outcome. It also urges all countries, partners that include non-governmental organizations, United Nations organizations and financial institutions to participate in the conference in accordance with the rules and procedures of the UN General Assembly.

After the adoption of the resolution, H.E. Ambassador Zachary D. Muburi-Muita, Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations, New York, delivered a statement. In which he expressed appreciation to the President of the General Assembly for his spirited efforts to ensure the Conference takes place as had earlier been decided in other related UN resolutions. He pointed out that the Kenya Government strongly believes in South-South Co-operation as a viable mechanism for promoting the development of the South, including through sharing of experiences, promotion of trade, transferring appropriate and affordable technology and investment. It is because of the critical importance of South-South Cooperation that the Kenya Government offered to host the conference as part of our contribution to a noble objective.

The Permanent Representative called upon all Member States, the United Nations system and other stakeholders to fully co-operate and support the preparatory process. He observed that the adoption of the resolution brought a high sense of urgency to all stakeholders. Each one had a responsibility that must be discharged efficiently and effectively.

H.E. Ambassador Muburi-Muita seized the opportunity to express appreciation to all countries for accepting and supporting Kenya's offer to host the Conference. He further welcomed all delegations to Nairobi to experience traditional Kenyan hospitality. The Conference is expected to play an important role in boosting tourism as well as the image of the country. It is expected that the Conference will attract between 2,000-3,000 participants.

Frigid Temps Causing Problems for Tires

  •  Check tire pressure once a week
  • Get flat tires changed and repaired immediately

Cheyenne, WY (KGWN) - The below freezing temperatures affecting Cheyenne residents, are also affecting their cars. As temperatures plunge, air molecules shrink, causing tires to deflate at a faster rate. And when temperatures drop more than 40 degrees overnight, it can speed up that process even more.

Check your tire pressure more often than usual -- the air pressure can fluctuate from five to ten pounds in colder temperatures. If pressure is low, fill the tires immediately, if you continue to drive on a low tire, it can cause damage to the rim and the tire, and may need to be replaced rather than repaired.

Filling tires with nitrogen makes them deflate slower, so ask a tire store or garage about using a different gas.

Home Gear Strollers Lightweight Strollers

2012 Pliko Mini - Fire by Peg Perego

Item # :  888487013634
Price :  $249.99
The lightweight stroller tha stands up alone when folded.
Boundless freedom thanks to the compact size, lightness and great practicality.

The sky is the limit. With Pliko Mini there are no limits to your outdoor adventures. The very idea of a folding stroller was born with its older brother Pliko. Now Pliko Mini is taking things a step further. It can be with you when you go to kindergarten, when you're shopping and when you are getting in and out of the car. Its compact size, light weight and great practicality will offer you infinite freedom. If you're planning on chasing kites, clouds or butterflies during the weekend, Pliko Mini can be with you.

It only weighs 12 lbs, but it has all of the classic Pliko qualities. It's the youngest member of the Peg Perego Pliko family but it can stand up alone, guaranteeing perfect hygiene at all times, even when you need to "park" it. With a backrest that reclines to more than 150 degree, it is suitable and type-approved for children right from the very first months. And it's a Pliko, so it is a paragon of practicality. You can fold it up with one hand and you don't even need to bend over.

Being approximately 19 inch wide, 40inch high and 33 inch deep gives you a lot more freedom. There's not a single elevator door, supermarket checkout aisle, streetcar or bus where Pliko Mini will fail to move with agility. However, the true revelation comes when setting off for a trip. Pliko Mini will fit in any trunk and leave plenty of room for other items thanks to its astonishingly compact dimensions when folded up: just 37.5 inch height, 19.25 inch width and 13 inch depth.

  • One hand umbrella fold, without the need to bend over

Pac-12's head of officials resigns after controversial comments

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Ed Rush resigned Thursday as the Pac-12 Conference's basketball coordinator of officials following comments during internal meetings before the league tournament that appeared to target Arizona coach Sean Miller.

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement that "I want to express my appreciation for the great contribution Ed made to basketball officiating for the Conference during his tenure, particularly in the area of training and the cultivation of new officiating talent."

Scott told The Associated Press a day earlier that Rush made an "inappropriate joke" before the Pac-12 tournament semifinals offering a group of officials $5,000 for a trip to Cancun if they called a technical foul on Miller, but that every official interviewed confirmed "nobody thought they were getting a reward."

The public perception of inappropriate behavior still proved to be too much.

Rush is a former NBA official who also served as the league's director of officiating. He was a consultant to the Pac-12 before becoming conference coordinator of officials last year.

"I would like to thank the Pac-12 for giving me the opportunity to lead a group of officials who are working so hard to make the Pac-12 the best officiated conference in college basketball," Rush said in a statement. "My first and highest concerns have always been the integrity of the game of basketball and the honor of the craft of officiating. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, my decision to resign reflects my strong desire to see the Pac-12 officiating program continue to grow and thrive."

Officials whistled Miller for a technical foul during the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament against UCLA for arguing a late double-dribble call against Wildcats guard Mark Lyons. Arizona lost the game 66-64.

Miller went on a memorable postgame rant about the technical foul, waving his arms while repeating "he touched the ball" five times in a row. Miller was later hit with a $25,000 fine from the Pac-12 for what the conference said was for confronting an official on the floor and acting inappropriately toward a staff member in the hallway.

Scott had said Arizona officials alerted him to Rush's remarks the night of March 17, a day after the league tournament. He said he launched an investigation into the matter the next day, and he concluded that it was not a "fireable offense."

 Make the Most of Social Security-Kiplinger

Make the Most of Social Security

Deciding when to begin collecting Social Security benefits could be one of the most important retirement-income decisions you'll make. Although it can be complicated, some excellent tools are available to help you figure out your optimum claiming strategy.

SEE ALSO: Maximizing Social Security Benefits

AARP offers a free Social Security benefits calculator that gives you a good idea of how large a benefit you can expect, based on when you claim it. It works for both married couples and singles, including those who are widowed or divorced. But if you want a more precise picture of the impact on your monthly and lifetime income—and are willing to pay a modest amount for recommendations that could lead to thousands of dollars of extra income each year -- go to SocialSecuritySolutions.com. Use promotion code KIP for a 10% discount on personalized reports that range from $20 to $125 (the top-tier package includes live consultations with a Social Security claims expert). In most cases, it makes sense to wait until your normal retirement age -- currently 66 for anyone born from 1943 through 1954 -- to collect benefits. At that point, two things happen: You are no longer subject to the earnings cap (meaning you can continue to work without jeopardizing any of your Social Security income), and you can get creative with your collection strategy to maximize your benefits. In 2012, you lose $1 in benefits for every $2 you earn over $14,640 if you claim benefits before age 66 and continue to work.

Strategies for couples. Couples should try to maximize household income over their lifetime. To do that, sometimes it makes sense for the lower-earning spouse (usually the wife) to collect benefits early, at age 62, and the higher-earning spouse to delay claiming benefits for as long as possible, earning an 8% delayed-retirement credit for each year up to age 70.

Although the wife's retirement benefits will be permanently reduced by 25%, collecting benefits early will have no impact on her more valuable survivor benefit. If her husband dies first -- and she is at least normal retirement age at the time -- she will be entitled to 100% of the monthly amount he received during his lifetime.

In some cases, a spouse who has little or no work history (again, often the wife) may be eager to collect spousal benefits -- worth up to half of what the main breadwinner receives. The husband can exercise a strategy known as file and suspend. That means he can file for his benefits at 66, entitling his wife to receive spousal benefits immediately; then he can suspend his own benefits until age 70. A different strategy may work better for dual-career couples with similar lifetime earnings. As long as one spouse is receiving benefits and the other spouse waits until normal retirement age to claim benefits, the second spouse can restrict his claim to spousal benefits only. That means he can collect half of his wife's benefits now and delay receiving his own benefits until age 70.

Collect on your ex. Normally, to be eligible to collect on your former spouse, you must have been married for at least ten years and you may not be currently married. You can collect benefits as early as age 62 (but earnings limits apply) as long as your ex is old enough to be eligible for benefits -- even if he or she has not yet collected them. It doesn't matter if your ex has remarried. But if you are divorced and wait until age 66, you can restrict your claim to spousal benefits only, allowing benefits based on your own earnings record to accrue delayed-retirement credits. Then you can switch to your own benefit, assuming it's larger, at age 70.

ANN VOGEL | Try new twists with Eggs Benedict

Classic Eggs Benedict is an indulgent breakfast treat, but if you let the summer harvest inspire your cooking, you can replace the heavy Canadian bacon or ham with plenty of fresh-from-the-garden ingredients or with an alternate protein such as salmon.

Here's a quick way to make the classic rich Hollandaise sauce, but using a blender instead of a whisk.

Blender Hollandaise Sauce Recipe

3 egg yolks

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

10 tablespoons unsalted butter

Melt the butter slowly in a small pot without letting it boil. Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne in the blender, and blend 20-30 seconds or until the mixture lightens in color. Turn the blender to its lowest speed and slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Continue to blend for a few seconds. Turn off the blender and taste the sauce; adjust flavor with additional salt or lemon juice. If you want a thinner sauce pulse in a little water.

Makes about 1 cup of sauce, enough for 4-6 servings.

Now, try some alternatives such as these Salmon and Bagel Benedicts and a Veggie Benedict with a Lighter Hollandaise. Get creative with veggies. You can completely omit the starch and replace it with a stack of layered veggies, or replace the traditional English muffin with a tortilla or a giant portabella mushroom.

Salmon and Bagel Egg Benedict

serves 4

4 bagels, split

½ pound king salmon, divided into 2-ounce portions

8 eggs

Hollandaise sauce (see recipe above)

1 tomato, sliced

1 avocado, sliced

paprika or chili powder for garnish

Preheat oven to 400 F. Place fish in a large baking dish and add enough water to just cover fish. Bake fish for 10 minutes or until opaque. Remove from baking dish and keep warm. Prepare Hollandaise sauce.

Prepare eggs: In a saucepan or skillet with high edges bring water to almost boiling so white bubbles form on bottom of pan. Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Crack eggs into water keeping whites close to egg yolks. Gently spoon water over yolks and cook for 3-5 minutes or until whites are firm. Remove eggs from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Trim ragged edges with kitchen shears.

Toast bagels and top with layers of tomato, avocado, salmon and egg. Spoon hollandaise over eggs, sprinkle with paprika or chili powder and serve.

Veggie Benedict with Lower Fat Hollandaise

4 eggs

1 red bell pepper

1 large portabella mushroom

1½ cups chopped and cooked spinach, well drained

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar

4 slices bread

3 tablespoons butter?

2 tablespoons lemon juice

zest from ½ lemon

1 egg white

Preheat oven to 375 F. Cut bell pepper into 4 lengthwise strips. Cut mushroom into slices. Toss with olive oil and roast on baking sheet in oven for 20-25 minutes. Fill a saucepan fhalf way with water, add vinegar and bring to boil. While water is coming to a boil, begin making hollandaise sauce.

Melt butter. Add lemon juice, zest and egg white and cook on low heat until lightened, while whisking constantly. Remove vegetables from the oven.

Gently crack eggs and slide the white and yolk into boiling water. Cover the pan and lower heat to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Warm the spinach. Place toasted bread on plate, top with spinach, and then with roasted vegetables, divided evenly. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove eggs from water and set on top of vegetables. Top with sauce and parsley and serve.

Cable worker shocked and thrown by power line on Bainbridge Island

Cable worker shocked, thrown by power line

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — A cable worker was shocked and thrown about five feet through the air when his pickax hit an underground power line in Bainbridge’s Meadowmeer neighborhood Wednesday morning.

The man, who is a contractor for the Comcast cable company, was conscious and appeared uninjured when the Bainbridge Island Fire Department arrived at the scene on Hart Lane just before 11:30 a.m. He was taken to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton as a precaution.

“He wasn’t showing any outward symptoms but he did have contact with a very strong energy source,” Bainbridge Fire Marshall Luke Carpenter said.

The power line carried about 7,000 volts, Carpenter said.

The accident blew a nearby fuse and temporarily cut the power for several houses in the immediate area.

T'Hawks Movin' On Up

Before the Puget Sound Tomahawks begin their fifth hockey season in Bremerton, the team will have a new coach and a better league classification.

The Northern Pacific Junior Hockey League was given Junior A-Tier III status from USA Hockey this week, which means the league will be able to bring in more skilled players and put better teams on the ice. The Nor-Pac was a Junior B team last season, a step below Junior A. The Tomahawks finished the season 14-30 overall.

Also, Puget Sound general manager Morris Malakoff said the Tomahawks have hired Chadd Olson, a former goaltender from Colorado, as their new head coach. Olson takes over for Josh Reis, who resigned after one season.

Malakoff said the league's decision to move from Junior B to A gives the league more prestige and a more stable financial future. Players will also have a better chance of getting noticed by college scouts.

"You're libel to get more exposure at Junior A," he said.

Even though the Tomahawks are now among the A teams, the league is at the lower level, Tier III. United States Hockey League is Tier I Junior A, while leagues like the North American HL are Tier II. Players in the USHL can make the move to Major Junior, which includes the Seattle Thunderbirds and Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League.

"We've moved up, but we're at the bottom of where we moved up," said Malakoff, who was still pleased with the league's decision.

The league will remain a tuition league, which means players pay between $4,000 and $6,500 to play. The cost is set by the league itself with teams determining the final cost. Puget Sound requires its players to pay $5,000.

Malakoff said when the announcement was made of the team's upcoming open tryouts (July 27-29), his e-mail inbox was flooded with players interested in playing for the Tomahawks.

"Within hours my mailbox was full," he said. "I'm hearing from kids all over North America, who I don't think would have come if it was Junior B. That means we get to sort through a better class of players."

As does the rest of the league.

"You should see bigger kids, you should see faster kids, more skilled players," Malakoff said. "I think it's a step up.

"I think people will see a better brand of hockey. Are we the Seattle Thunderbirds? No, we're not our goal is not to put kids into the NHL, I mean we'd love to have that happen. Our goal is to get them into college."

Tryouts Upcoming

The Puget Sound Tomahawks will hold open tryouts July 27-29 at the Puget Sound Hockey Center in Tacoma, the home practice facility for the Tomahawks, for the upcoming Nor-Pac Junior A Hockey League season at the Bremerton Ice Skating Center.

Players interested in attending the tryouts should contact Tomahawks general manager Morris Malakoff at gm@pstomahawks.com. The cost for the three-day camp is $150 and includes a practice jersey. Players must be registered with USA Hockey and be no younger than 14 years old or have had their 21st birthday as of Sept. 1.

Tryouts begin Friday evening with two more on-ice sessions and a dryland session on Saturday. Sunday's showcase game will take place at the Bremerton Ice Skating Center at 9 a.m. The public is invited to attend and admission is free.

"With the league being promoted to Junior A status this year, the Tomahawks will be playing at the elite level in North American junior hockey," said Malakoff. "That gives players an excellent opportunity to show their talents to collegiate and professional scouts with an eye to taking their game to the next level."

The camp is also an opportunity for new Puget Sound coach Chadd Olson and his staff to evaluate talent and assemble a competitive team, Malakoff said.

League Shake Up

For the second year in a row, there will be new teams added to the Northern Pacific Hockey League and a team leaving.

Choice or Nature

December 7th, 2004 at 9:59 am by David Farrar

I see Paul Adams has said “The ‘homosexual lifestyle’ should not be portrayed as normal to children, he said. “It is not genetic, it is a choice. We were born male and female as far as I am concerned. We are one or the other.”

I’ve always wanted to ask someone saying that, well when did you decide to be heterosexual. Chris Matthews in the US has done just that, asking Jerry Falwell:

MATTHEWS: How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: Oh, I don’t remember that.
MATTHEWS: Well, you must, because you say it’s a big decision.
FALWELL: Well, I started dating when I was about 13.
MATTHEWS: And you had to decide between boys and girls. And you chose girls.
FALWELL: I never had to decide. I never thought about it.

Wonkette has more on it. Very very funny.

Iowa, Nebraska State Fairs vie for Omaha visitors

by KIX101.1 /1230 KFJB News Department posted Aug 15 2014 9:58AM

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Fair's new home in Grand Island places it closer to the center of the state, but the move from Lincoln four years ago has created a potential opening for Iowa.

Iowa State Fair organizers are working to attract visitors from Omaha, which sits halfway between Nebraska's fair in Grand Island and Iowa's in Des Moines.

Both fairs are advertising to Omaha residents, but organizers say they aren't competing. They argue that the fairs are scheduled at different times of the month, and offer different concerts and events.

Marla Calico of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions says fairs want to draw as many patrons as possible, but attendance alone isn't the best way to measure success. Sometimes, revenue will increase even when turnout is down.

Floating market, Bangkok

Practical Info about Bangkok

Getting around the city

The Skytrain (BTS) has two lines running above Bangkok's central areas, while the Bangkok Metro has one route and covers areas not connected by the Skytrain. The Metro intersects with the Skytrain at three points and has 18 stations, with frequent services running until midnight. The bus system has always been the main form of public transport, but it should be used with care due to pickpockets. The most interesting way to get around is on the waterways of the Chao Phraya River where numerous river taxis, long-tail boats and large waterbuses make most tourist sites easily reachable for about THB 10. Tuk tuks (colourful three-wheelers) are the standard way of making short journeys and are cheaper and quicker than regular taxis, but fares should be negotiated before boarding. Metered and un-metered taxis are air-conditioned, but be aware that drivers don't carry much change. Any taxi or tuk tuk can be hired for a day's tour of the sights. Bangkok also has free bikes for tourists for two set routes along the river; the east side goes past some of the biggest temples, while the west side goes through more residential areas.

GMT +7

220 volts AC, 50Hz. Both flat and round two-pin plugs are used.

The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks, hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger businesses.

The international country dialling code for Thailand is +66. The outgoing code is 001, followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 00144 for the United Kingdom). City/area codes are in use. To dial a mobile in Thailand an 8 must precede the city code. International direct dial facilities are available throughout most of the country. Mobile phone networks cover most towns, cities and holiday resorts; operators use GSM 900, 1800 and 1900 networks. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport

Getting to the city

The Airport Rail Link (ARL) is the fastest way to get to central Bangkok. The service runs from the first floor of the airport and connects you to the MRT underground at Makkasan City Interchange Station (MRT Phetchaburi Station) and the BTS Skytrain at Phayathai Station. The cost of a ticket starts around THB 45 for a single fare and around THB 90 for express tickets. Public buses run several routes from the Transport Centre to Bangkok, while the Airport Express provides air-conditioned coaches between the airport and first-class hotels in downtown Bangkok. There is also a Limousine Service counter on the 2nd floor of the Arrivals Hall.

Car rental

Car hire is available from Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Sixt and Thai Rent-a-Car. Bookings can be made at the Car Rental service counter at Arrivals.

Airport taxi's

From the airport passengers can catch a taxi from the departure terminal. Travel time depends greatly on traffic but is at least 30 minutes and can be much more. An exit fee is expected to be paid by the passenger although this can be paid at the end of the ride. Passengers can request the driver use the expressway which will cost a small additional fee. Rides will cost between THB 200-400.

Currency exchange is available on Level 2 at Arrivals, and ATMs are located throughout the terminal building. Public telephones are widely available. A tourist information service is located in the Arrivals hall on Level 2, duty-free shopping and a myriad of restaurants, wine bars and fast food outlets are also available.

Short and long-term parking is available at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Short-term rates range from about THB 25 for the first hour to about THB 250 for the day. Long-term rates start at about THB 20 per hour and go up to about THB 140 per day.

Wifi is available throughout the airport and it is free in some areas, mainly the concourses.

2009 Sequoia Grove Carneros Napa Valley Chardonnay

SKU #1065259 Connoisseurs Guide

 *One Star* Green apples, fresh pears and a light bit of oak are combined in the youthful, slightly narrow aromas of the mid-sized youngster, and, if not an especially big or weighty Chardonnay, the wine is rounded and fairly complete with open and accessible flavors that invite early drinking.  (10/2011)

K&L Notes

A pretty California Chardonnay that leans more toward the lemon curd and orange end of the Chardonnay spectrum. There are hints of almond skin and orange blossom to give the wine lift and texture, and it moves seamlessly from attack to finish, with grace and style.

This is California Chardonnay with grace and balance. Citrus, orange and lemon, but a touch of richness that delves into lemon curd, a kiss of oak to add texture and depth, with acidity that is well integrated and seamless.

By: Chris Miller | K&L Staff Member | Review Date: 5/29/2011 | Send Email
Here's another lovely little Chardonnay from an unsung but stalwart producer of the varietal. I remember back in the late 90's when I was just a wee lad in the wine biz having a distributor lunch at this winery, and sipping on this Chardonnay (not this vintage of course) and wondering how this hippy surfer from Santa Cruz ended up sitting at this lunch, staring at the Mayacamas above the Robert Mondavi winery across the street, and being like, "damn, life is good". Retasting the 2009 brought me back; a nice, ever so lightly oaked wine with pretty appley flavors, no overtly heavy malolactic quality, nice natural acidity. Just a refreshing sipper for these upcoming summer months. Yes, life is good. Enjoy. CM

Additional Information:

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world. Click for a list of bestselling items from the United States.

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year. For our entire selection of California wines, please visit this link.
Specific Appellation:

- Just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, Carneros is kept cool by Bay breezes and thick fog, and has long been famous for cool-climate pinot noir, chardonnay and sparkling wine based on the two varietals. Warmer pockets have proved interesting and promising homes for syrah, cabernet and merlot.

Refuge Allows More Time to Comment on 'Invasive' Cattle PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 05 February 2014

0.9 MB | Download MP3 | Open in popup

Lauren Rosenthal/KUCB
    Southwest Alaska residents will have a few extra weeks to weigh in on invasive cattle near Kodiak and Sand Point.
    The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge was supposed to stop taking suggestions on how to handle wild cow herds on Wosnesenski and Chirikof islands last week.
    Refuge manager Steve Delehanty says they've already gotten about 100 comments. But they decided to keep the door open for a few reasons:
    “Partly, it just gives people more time to put their thoughts together and give us their ideas. But partly, it is procedural. We have to publish a notice in an official government publication called the Federal Register.
    Legally, the refuge has to take comments for a full 30 days after the notice goes up. So Delehanty says they’ll be accepting emails, faxes, letters, and phone calls from residents through February 20.
    The refuge started this process because they're worried about how the cattle are affecting ecosystems. Wosnesenski and Chirikof islands are uninhabited. But scientists have found eroded salmon streams and trampled archaeological sites there. And they’ve traced that damage back to the cows.
    Both islands are publicly owned. In the last few months, the refuge has hosted meetings in Sand Point, Homer and Kodiak to gauge public opinion.

    Delehanty says there wasn’t a lot of consensus -- some people think the herds are pesky, while others have come to rely on them.
    “In Sand Point, a lot of the discussion focused around Wosnesenski and a lot of passionate expression of value for the animals just as a meat resource -- as something that people in the community use by harvesting a beef or two, occasionally.
    The public comments will used to write up an environmental report and a proposed plan of action for each island.

Starring Tradition Celebrates Russian Christmas
Tuesday, 07 January 2014

This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
            While the holidays are over for many folks in Kodiak, they’re also just beginning for some. Today is Russian Christmas, a holiday celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church, which follows the Julian calendar. Alutiiq Museum Director Alisha Drabek said the holiday often spans multiple days, and is best known for the practice called starring.
             “The caroling or starring that happens here in Kodiak and throughout Russian Orthodox faith is anywhere from three nights to several more, but here locally they practice a three day caroling celebration. So after church services on January 7, the parishioners gather after the evening church service and start at Father Innocent’s house, and sing songs, traditiaonl Alutiiq caroling songs, Russian Orthodox Church songs, usually around eight to nine songs with a small group of people.”

             Drabek said from there they travel to the Alutiiq Museum second and sing songs and then go on to other houses within the church community.
             “They bring with them the church star. And it symbolizes when the wise men followed the star of Bethlehem to find the birth of Christ. So they’re bringing that star to each home of the parishioner families that are on the list to be honored in that way.”
             Drabek said she wasn’t sure exactly how large the Russian Orthodox community is in Kodiak, but she said they spend about five hours on each of the three nights traveling to different houses and there are usually about 25 people that join in on the caroling.
             The entire Kodiak community is invited to watch and celebrate the starring at the Alutiiq Museum. Drabek said the carolers should arrive around 6:30 p.m. tonight and everyone is invited to come and learn a little bit about the Russian Orthodox faith and enjoy some traditional Christmas songs.

View Full Version : FO: Black Forest stash scarf!

01-09-2012, 04:59 PM
Well I'm really digging up some stash! Yarn that is also way too expensive to let go wasted. Gah! I admit, when we were on vacation back in 2008, I stumbled across a little LYS in a teensy mountain town...and she had the most incredible yarn...and I impulsively bought all the Naturwolle she had. :shrug: Her little shop was set up in what would be the 'sitting room' of her little cottage on Main Street. At the time, the shop was named The Loose Blue Moose. Now how cute is that! She had me at Hello.

This scarf used up every last gram of the yarn! Now THAT feels good.
(Naturwolle Black Forest Yarn (http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/ingeborg-michels-gernsbach-naturwolle-michels-multicolor), by Muench Yarns, Germany)

This little 2x2 ribbed scarf, simple as it looks, really kicked my butt. Talk about fussy! Gah!

On a 3rd GO, I finally arrived at a good color scheme and pattern numbers!

Here (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ArtLady/2x2-rib-scarf) are my project notes.

This photo is unblocked. 3-1/2" x 55"

I put blocking wires into the side edges of the scarf, pinned it out to 6" x 52"...and lightly misted the scarf. When it's dry I'm hoping it will hold the 6" width. If not, I still don't think it will snap back to the 3-1/2". It will be wider than that.

01-09-2012, 05:33 PM
Very cool!!!

01-09-2012, 10:29 PM
That's a great looking scarf--and a very efficient one (yarn wise, not time wise), too!

01-10-2012, 12:09 AM
Your eye for color, balance, and design is incredible. Again, very nice.

01-10-2012, 01:30 AM
Wonderful little scarf! :cheering:

01-10-2012, 09:28 AM
Great colour distribution, looks crisp and effortless. Great design, worth the time spent.

Wow! Great-looking even if butt-kicking while in progress. Worth the effort, wouldn't you say? :thumbsup:

01-11-2012, 08:02 AM
Beautiful scarf! The color scheme looks so pleasing and natural you'd never know that it took a bit of doing. Lovely work and finished project.

01-11-2012, 08:48 AM
The scarf is done blocking, and it turned out be PERFECT! Just as I'd hoped, it retained the greater width! Before blocking it was 3.5", ribbing being a powerful entity....but after blocking, it is staying put at 5". YAY!

Help - forgot to add reinforcing thread - should I frog back?
oh no - in the rush to work on my socks when I started my heel - I forgot to add my wooly nylon reinforcing thread to the yarn.

I'm using the Dream In Color Classy yarn for dh's Thuja socks.

I've already finished the gusset and probably 5 rounds of the foot of the sock.

Should I frog back all the way to the beginning of the heel to add the reinforcing thread?

If you think No - should I then add it when I get to the toe and should I bother adding it to the 2nd sock?

Here's a great accessory for the kid in your life.

With spring celebrations coming up, you can outfit your favorite guy -- or girl -- in this classic knit tie with a twist.

Knit in sock yarn that makes its own design, you can have a one-of-a-kind tie. Don't limit this accessory to boys only; I think it would look wonderful on a girl, paired with a feminine blouse.

Knit in the larger size, this tie is perfect for adults, too!
