Dear HG, So, condiments are sort of my favorite thing ever. What are your top picks for condiments that I can eat with anything and everything? Cuckoo for Condiments
Hey Cuckoo,
Condiments can be tricky! Some -- like full-fat mayo and regular sour cream -- can cause the calorie count of your meal to skyrocket. Others are completely guilt-free and can really zazzle things up. Here are some top picks... Green-Light Basics - In the worry-free condiment zone, stock up on these staples: ketchup (Heinz is the best), vinegars (balsamic, seasoned rice, etc.), salsa (regular, fruity, and southwestern), and mustard (yellow, honey, and more)! BBQ sauce is also great -- just look for ones with 45 calories or less per 2-tbsp. serving. As for mayo, go for the fat-free or light kind. And instead of standard sour cream, try fat-free Greek yogurt. It works perfectly as a swap! HG All-Stars - There are three condiments that are ALWAYS in my house and at the HG HQ. Frank's RedHot (Original) is perfect for making anything taste like Buffalo wings (click for proof!), and it's basically calorie-free. Newman's Own Lite Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing has amazing flavor and only 35 calories and 1.5g fat per 2-tbsp. serving. And Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise is like the delicious love child of Dijon mustard and creamy mayo. It tastes SO rich, yet it has just 5 fat-free calories per teaspoon! Show Stoppers - There are several exceptional condiments that are worth seeking out. Heinz makes a ketchup that's blended with jalapeños, and Traina has a sun-dried tomato option that is out of this world! Mustard lovers will flip for Saucy Mama's lineup, and Vivi's Original Sauce is tangy and unlike anything else I've ever tasted. One of our new favorite finds at Hungryland is Slawsa, which is a delicious combo of slaw and salsa with a sweet, tangy flavor. Each of these has 20 calories or less per tablespoon. There you have it, some of my favorite condiments. Looking for a few more? Check out the Sauces, Salad Dressings & Shelf-Stable Condiments section of the official HG supermarket list!
Hi HG, Any advice on choosing a multivitamin or other supplements? I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff! Vitamin Val
Hi Val,
Multivitamins are a great way to supplement your diet. I'm not a big fan of choking down a huge dry pill (really, who is?), so I tend to go with gummy vitamins (like the kinds by Nature Made), melts (VitaMelts ROCK), and chewables (like Flavor Burst Chews from Centrum). They taste great, which I love! But since I'm not a nutrition professional, I turned to my favorite dietitian, David Grotto, RDN, LDN, for his top tips on this subject. When it comes to picking a multivitamin, he recommends looking for an option that's both gender and age specific, since it'll be better tailored to meet your needs than other vitamins. And consider taking an omega-3 fish oil supplement, unless you're eating salmon (or other sources of omega-3s) two to three times a week. He also suggests talking to an RD or doctor to discuss specific dietary-supplement recommendations for your individual health needs. (Thanks, Dave!) In addition to my favorites, here are a couple of fun finds. These kid-friendly supplements from Voots are made from a blend of real fruits and veggies. And Vita Rocks are like the Pop Rocks of the vitamin world. Fun, fun, fun! Looking for foods packed with vitamins? Click here for some top picks and HG tips!

Dutch police say they have arrested a 19-year-old Romanian woman in connection with a major art heist from the Kunsthal gallery in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
In a statement, Rotterdam police said the woman arrested Monday was suspected "of involvement in hiding the seven paintings" by Matisse, Gauguin, Picasso and Monet, among others.
Three Romanian men were arrested in Bucharest in January on suspicion of involvement and remain in custody - but the paintings have not been recovered.
Police believe the works were brought to a home in Rotterdam where the woman was staying and removed from their frames shortly after the theft.
They said two of the men arrested were recorded on Kunsthal cameras acting suspiciously days before the Oct. 17 heist.
Romanian and Dutch investigators are cooperating on the case.

Conflict is inherently part of any industrial relations environment. With the advent of employee – management relations, conflict is bound to be and has always been present. This paper looks at conflict as it occurs in an organisation between employees and management and also government. Botswana has of recent witnessed a series of industrial relations conflict that can be categorised into three areas; union to union conflict; and union – management conflict and union - government conflict. Desktop methodology was used to collect information for this paper and some of the major events that have occurred in the Botswana industrial relations are referred to in this paper.

Kurt Nimmo
February 15, 2013
You know establishment liberals are desperate when they start throwing around the race card to defend their attacks on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
On Thursday, that's exactly what former D.C. cop and MSNBC script reader Chris Matthews did – he called the NRA's Wayne LaPierre a racist for daring to defend the god-given natural right of self-defense.
"Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Riots. Terrorists. Gangs. Lone criminals," LaPierre wrote for the Daily Caller on Wednesday. "These are perils we are sure to face – not just maybe. It's not paranoia to buy a gun. It's survival. It's responsible behavior, and it's time we encourage law-abiding Americans to do just that."
He also wrote that "the American people clearly see the daunting forces we will undoubtedly face: terrorists, crime, drug gangs, the possibility of Euro-style debt riots, civil unrest or natural disaster."
Unfortunately, the NRA boss discounted the primary reason there is a Second Amendment and safely framed his argument within parameters defined by the state.
"Gun owners are not buying firearms because they anticipate a confrontation with the government. Rather, we anticipate confrontations where the government isn't there—or simply doesn't show up in time," he wrote.
In fact, many Americans are buying guns fully expecting to one day fight government tyranny. As Andrew Napolitano has pointed out, the Second Amendment was written to protect the right to shoot tyrants, not skeet shoot (a reference to Obama's ridiculous claim – supposedly backed up by a photo – that he likes to go up to Camp David and skeet shoot).
Self-defense has nothing to do with the Bill of Rights. John Locke pointed this out when he declared the right to self-defense is the first law of nature. "And thus it is that every man in the state of Nature has a power to kill a murderer," he wrote in An Essay Concerning the true original, extent, and end of Civil Government.
Elsewhere on MSNBC, Alex Wagner also accused LaPierre of racism. "There's also a lot of racial – racism imbedded" in his statement about self-defense and the Second Amendment. "He goes on to impugn Latin America as these kind of dark nights with dark people in Brooklyn," she said in response to the undeniable fact Mexican and Latin American drug gangs are operating on American streets.
Novelist and guest Kurt Andersen contradicted reality by stating that "There were, not only not looters in south Brooklyn. Everybody was out helping everybody else…It was the opposite of that description." Mr. Andersen was apparently not paying attention when the "Sandy Loot Crew" displayed their pilfered goods on Twitter.
The feeding frenzy exhibited by the usual suspects on MSNBC and AOL's HuffPo reveal not only the distasteful slavering government-loving character of the corporate media's liberal caste, but also their complete disconnection from reality.
Residents in America's largest cities – from Chicago to New York and Los Angeles – know there is a criminal predatory class on the loose and it is their responsibility – indeed, their right – to defend themselves and their families, as Locke said in 1690.
Privileged MSNBC anchors and their liberal intelligentsia guests – chauffeured to and from guarded studios in limos – are apparently oblivious to this modern fact of life in America.

How do Marlins' top prospects fit Miami's needs?
This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.
Here's my look at the Marlins:
Short-term needs
Without a doubt in my mind, the Marlins have a chance to be one of baseball's most exciting teams. They are loaded with quality pitching and some very young position players that will only get better with experience.
For the coming season, I don't see any prospects breaking camp in the starting lineup or in the rotation. However, that said, last year we saw the introduction of exciting outfielders Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna.
PROJECTED 2016 MARLINS LINEUPProjecting the Marlins' 2016 lineup based on players currently in their system.
|J.T. Realmuto
|Mark Canha
|Avery Romero
|Colin Moran
|Adeiny Hechavarria
|Christian Yelich
|Jake Marisnick
|Giancarlo Stanton
|Jose Fernandez
|Nathan Eovaldi
|Andrew Heaney
|Jacob Turner
|Justin Nicolino
|Nick Wittgren
After making his debut in 2013 and winning the National League Rookie of the Year Award, one of baseball's finest pitchers, Jose Fernandez, is now the ace of Miami's rotation. For me, Fernandez is already among the top five pitchers in baseball.
So where do the Marlins go from here? Clearly, first base is an unmet need that does not brighten with the current class of prospects.
Long-term needs
Outfielder Jake Marisnick has played in 40 Major League games and has 118 plate appearances for the Marlins. I'm not sure if Marisnick can consistently hit Major League pitching. The center fielder hit .183 last season in his brief stint with Miami. But it was the same empty bat I had scouted in the Arizona Fall League. When I saw Marisnick in Arizona in 2012, his swing was awkward and he was reaching for pitches. But he plays good defense, has plus speed and a good, solid arm.
Third baseman Colin Moran had a fine debut at Class A Greensboro. A 2013 first-round Draft selection, Moran is a left-handed hitter who can handle the bat well, but he needs time and repetition. Moran has the type of tools that can stabilize a position of need for the Marlins. He has power and makes good contact.
Starting pitcher Andrew Heaney has a chance to be an excellent Major League pitcher. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound lefty has great size a power arm with a very solid repertoire and a mid-90s fastball. There are times, however, when he tries to throw too hard and he loses repetition on his delivery. So I've seen him be very good, and at times, mediocre.
In addition to his fastball, Heaney throws a quality curveball and solid changeup. Those three pitches make it tough on hitters.
Justin Nicolino, like Heaney, is a left-handed starter. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Nicolino doesn't throw as hard as Heaney. In fact, he usually sits at 88-91 mph. But Nicolino uses both sides of the plate efficiently.
Nicolino is crafty on the mound. He uses lots of offspeed pitches to cause deception. Nicolino's changeup might be his best pitch. He misses bats with regularity. Nicolino has a future in Miami's rotation, but he will have to improve the bite on his curveball and not lose any velocity off his fastball to be most effective.
If those two starters aren't enough in the pipeline, the Marlins will also be able to consider right-handed starters Anthony DeSciafani, Trevor Williams, Jose Urena or Austin Brice for their future rotation. Urena may be the furthest along of the bunch, having pitched in Miami's organization for five seasons. The others provide good balance to the left-handed Heaney and Nicolino.
Reliever Nick Wittgren offers the club a power arm as a potential closer. As one of the best pitchers I saw, Wittgren was dominant this past fall in the Arizona Fall League.
Catcher J.T. Realmuto provides some depth for the club behind the plate. Along with Rob Brantly, the Marlins have some stability to support newly acquired free agent Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Jeff Mathis also appears on the club's roster.
Realmuto is more of a defense-first catcher. He has excellent mechanical skills behind the plate, including good footwork and a strong arm. Offensively, Realmuto has some power generated by the strength of a 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame.
Second baseman Avery Romero finished the season playing at Class A Greensboro. He hit only .147, but that was a small 40-plate-appearance sample. Romero has a .265 batting average over two seasons.
Romero is on the rise for the Marlins and has the ability and the type of bat that might offer some sneaky power from the middle infield. At only 20 years of age, he is a raw player with upside on both sides of the ball.

Lincoln, Neb., Selected to Receive Green Design Assistance (NE)
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., Aug.12, 2011) - EPA has selected Lincoln, Neb., for green design assistance that includes incorporating green solutions to manage stormwater runoff and building pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods. The Agency will organize teams of urban planners and landscape architects to provide technical assistance as requested by Lincoln, Neb., officials.
"This project will address environmental concerns, enhance green infrastructure and help revitalize neighborhoods, spurring economic development in Nebraska's capital city," said Karl Brooks, regional administrator. "Plans include improvements to streets and alleys to make them more pedestrian- and bike-friendly. In addition, the project will enhance the work of local neighborhood and community leaders to connect Lincoln's historic area with the State Capitol building, which was completed in 1932."
Lincoln and four other state capitals were selected from a total of 23 cities that responded to a solicitation of interest by EPA. Through itsGreening America's Capitals program, EPA will also fund private sector experts to provide sustainable design assistance to Montgomery, Ala.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Washington, D.C.; and Jackson, Miss.
Greening America's Capitals is not a grant program, but provides direct technical assistance to communities by working with private sector experts and leveraging federal and state partnerships. In addition to helping the selected state capitals build civic pride and a greener future, this assistance will help create models that many other cities can look to in creating their own sustainable designs.
Lincoln is actively working to revitalize a densely built South Capitol neighborhood, which is 287-acre primarily residential neighborhood directly south of the Capitol. The city and neighborhood are addressing many challenges including a high number of older homes and businesses, aging sanitary sewers and water mains, and lower per capita income than the rest of the city.

For several years, high oil prices enabled the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to add large sums to their state coffers. Falling oil prices imply that some Gulf countries may need to draw on their depleted funds to cover their import bills. In this Center for Geoeconomic Studies Working Paper, Brad W. Setser and Rachel Ziemba examine the impact of the fall in global equities on the Gulf's large funds and explore how various oil price scenarios could shape those funds' future growth.

Wyclef Jean dropped the music video for his Trayvon Martin tribute song , "Justice (If You're 17)," on Friday, announcing its release on Twitter.
The artist and sometime politician first released the track on April 13, offering it as a free download. The song was produced by Prescribed and J. Williams (both also worked with the former Fugee on I Am, a short about racial profiling around the world, E! reports).
"If you're 17/ and you're wearing a hoodie/ You're on the phone/ Talking to your shorty/ Make no mistake/ There's one like you/ In every city/ You know the story," Wyclef starts out in the song.
There's no real effort at subtlety here; he lays out the story of young Martin as a Trayvon lookalike re-enacts his last tragic walk — talking to his girl, unaware that it's his last phone call ever.
"If you're 17 with a hoodie on/ watch out for the neighborhood watcher/ If you at the right neighborhood at the wrong time/ Neighborhood watcher/ This might be your last call to your girlfriend/ Neighborhood watcher/ Man, I feel for you, if you're 17."
Shots of a hoodie-clad Jean singing with the band are intercut throughout the video, and eventually we see another hooded figure, walking menacingly and then attacking Martin, tackling him to the ground, knocking his phone out of his hand. "He could have been the next President/ He could've been the next Steve Jobs," Jean wails. The video ends with the sound of a gunshot.
Wyclef isn't the first to create a song in memory of the Florida teen; Willie D. and Scarface of the rap group Geto Boys also came out with a song and video, "Hoodiez (The Trayvon Martin Justice Song!)," which features an even more graphic depiction of the attack. Both videos are intended to make viewers feel uncomfortable and queasy, and rightfully so. But there's also something to perhaps be said for respect for Trayvon's family and friends, who may not be ready to see his killing laid out so baldly.

In many manufacturing units compressed air is an essential source of power, and the quality requirements of the compressed air are often sky-high. Even if the air leaving the compressor station meets all requirements, it can absorb more condensation than what is acceptable on its way through the pipelines in the factory. This water is definitely not desirable in the production machinery. In fact, the condensation was a significant problem for the valve production in Nordborg - without quite knowing how to solve the problem. The simple solution turned out to be a refrigerated air dryer
By Helle Friemann Nielsen
Valves are produced in Nordborg, Als. Actually, a lot of valves. In department L3, where Danfoss A/S is producing its cooling valves, an average of 50,000 valves in a long line of different variants and materials are made each week. It is therefore of utmost importance that the production facility operates without any significant problems or interruptions. A large part of the work stations in L3 are pneumatically operated. The compressed air is used to activate valves, as well as open/close functions. The air is therefore an essential supply source, and Danfoss has sky-high quality standards for the compressed air.
Problems with condensation
Danfoss' L3 has a large subterranean compressor station, which delivers compressed air of the highest quality. Yet there were still problems with condensation in the compressed air. Not when the air left the compressors - but afterwards as the air passed through the supply pipes to the individual stations. "We could actually see how the water sat in the pipes", says Jytte Petersen, who is a purchaser for L3 and has an extensive knowledge of the techniques and production involved. She had worked for 10 years in maintenance and repair, before taking over the role of purchaser 12 years ago. "I certainly do know how things work." It was a big problem that the water was carried with the compressed air to the production systems, where the water caused significant damage to the valves, cylinders, fittings, etc. The components rusted and the water rinsed out the lubrication significantly shortening their life span. "One thing was significantly shorter service life spans for these components - yet another was the drop in task times for each work stations. In other words, that made our production slower." "In addition we experienced the grippers suddenly started losing things," she adds and continues: "Moreover, there were problems starting up, if for example, production had been shut down over the weekend. It required a little detective work in the morning to get the individual work stations up and running. Something with 'wiggling' the valves a little bit, repeating the start up, and so on." "We simply had no idea how we could solve the problem, because the compressed air was of the highest quality, so there was nothing else that could be done. We lived with the problem, and physically drained the water out of the pipes, as well as replaced valves and other components here and there when they gave out," states Jytte Petersen. "We joked about having ghosts in the machines, because there were no logical explanations for the numerous 'funny and puzzling' faults that constantly appeared.
A bit of a coincidence
It was actually a little bit of a coincidence, that the solution to the problem was found. SMC Pneumatik A/S, which has been a supplier for Danfoss for many years, was visiting for unrelated reasons and by coincidence, the conversation came upon the water problem.
SMC had the answer.
The solution was very simple and is now implemented in 12-15 machine stations around L3. "The solution was simply a refrigerated air dryer," says Ole Gert Jørgensen, who is the technical executive for SMC Pneumatik A/S. The refrigerated air dryers are physically placed on top of those machines, where the compressed air enters the machine. The compressed air is led through the refrigerated air dryer, which cools the air - whereby the air is dried, and the water content is drastically reduced. "Not all machines have a refrigerated air dryer. They are, in principle, located on the most critical work stations in the production, and on the first machine on the compressed air outlet pipe. The machines, which are connected to the same pipe also receive the dry, clean air," adds John Svendsen, who is a sales consultant with SMC.
Cause and mode of operation
"The reason why the compressed air releases condensation on its way through the supply pipes in the production, is for a start that it cools down on the way. It can, for example, also be due to operational stop in the compressor room's refrigerated air dryers or the conditions of the pipe and lack of ability to drain the pipes. Another cause is, when the air is transported through the pipes, high velocities can occur in bends and couplings between smaller and larger pipes - and here the water vapour condenses to water," explains Ole Gert Jørgensen. The air's relative humidity is normally 65% - of course depending on the temperature and humidity. It is impossible to produce compressed air without depositing water in the system, and a way to remove that water is needed. The best method is to chill the air and drain, whereby the water content is naturally reduced. "There is less water in cold air than in warm air," asserts Ole Gert Jørgensen. The refrigerated air dryer works by chilling the air to 3°C (from around 19°C in the supply pipes). Thereby reducing the water content in the compressed air from 18 grams per cubic meter to six grams. The surplus 12 grams of water is drained directly from the refrigerated air dryer, and practically speaking the water is tapped to a bottle under the machine. "We still tap water as before, but now in much smaller amounts, plus it is very controlled and regular," says Jytte Petersen. In short the water rich compressed air is fed into the refrigerated air dryer and is chilled with a heat exchanger. Condensation is removed by cooling and is drained automatically. The now cool, dry air is warmed afterwards and led out of the refrigerated air dryer. "Therefore there will also be a difference in the water content during the summer and during the winter. The air is warmer during the summer and absorbs more condensation. During the winter, when the air is naturally much cooler, the air contains less water.
A time before and after the refrigerated air dryers
"There was a world of difference in our daily life after the refrigerated air dryers were installed," says Jytte Petersen and adds: "All of the 'funny' ghosts in the machines have disappeared - and we no longer use our mornings on locating faults and detective work. The machines start exactly as intended. "From a strictly cost point of view it is also clearly different case. Before, we replaced valves, cylinders and so on, here and there, because they suddenly gave up. We no longer do that. Before on a yearly basis we replaced in the region of 125 valves a year, which came to an amount of around 90,000 DKK Now, I believe, we replace five pieces due to normal wear and tear," she states. In addition, replacing parts isn't just a question about the price of the valve: The entire work station needs to be shut down - and stoppages are as know expensive." "An item in the budget, which has changed notably since the refrigerated air dryers were installed, is the total man hours used on tracing faults and maintenance. Earlier it was a pretty large item. It no longer is," says Jytte Petersen. And she is supported by service men on the floor responsible for the machines. They can certainly see a clear difference in the daily work routine.

NEW YORK (AP) - Have a question for Selena Gomez? She says you'll find the answer in her new album.
NEW YORK (AP) � Have a question for Selena Gomez? She says you'll find the answer in her new album.
The singer-actress, who had her breakthrough on Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place" at age 15, says she knows she hasn't been too revealing in the past, but she's becoming comfortable in her own skin � and that's reflected on "Stars Dance," released Tuesday.
"Genuinely, the whole record is me being a woman and wanting to explore that and being comfortable in my skin and my body, and exuding confidence," said Gomez, who turned 21 on Monday. "People speculate or think what they want to think, but it's been really fun for me to kind of explore what I want to explore."
Gomez credits her daring role in the film "Spring Breakers" with helping her find comfort in her womanhood. She has similar energy on her seductive single, the Rihanna-esque "Come & Get It," which has officially broken her into major pop territory. The double platinum song has peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Even Beyonce posted on Instagram that she's a fan of the addictive track.
"I have so many people come up to me saying, 'I didn't know you sing that song. It's a little different than what you put out,' and that's a great feeling," Gomez said.
She'll kick off a 56-city world tour � where she'll play venues like the Staples Center in Los Angeles and Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. � in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Aug. 14. It wraps Nov. 27 in St. Louis.
Gomez talked about growing up, music and her relationships with ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and best friend Taylor Swift in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
AP: You turned 21 and released an album � is this your best week ever?
Gomez: It is. It genuinely is. Turning 21 and releasing my fourth record. ... I can't really believe the place I'm in. I'm superstoked. I think I always kind of backtrack, I always kind of say, 'OK, I'm going to put my all into (it) and hope for the best,' and when it happens, I get really surprised.
AP: You say this album is more personal. What's it like to reveal your true feelings on the songs?
Gomez: The last records ... were very processed and a little bit rushed in a way, so the fact that I had so much time to share my life story and just where I am was really fun for me. ... There were moments where I would kind of be a little emotional, talking about things I made sure I executed perfectly because it was such a sensitive subject. ... (And) being with the producers and being honest because I never really had time to do that before.
AP: What else do you want to do this year?
Gomez: I don't think it should be too serious at this point for me. I think I take my job seriously, but I enjoy my life and I enjoy my friends and I never really allowed myself to do that before. So I just kind of want to party with everyone.
AP: What's it like growing up with all the cameras?
Gomez: I attempt to be who I am and it's fun. At the same time, growing up doing what I'm doing can be a little crazy. You don't ever know, and obviously I have my off days. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes.
AP: It's different today for celebrities compared with 10 or 20 years ago.
Gomez: I do agree to a certain extent that it is unfortunate that I have to be a little more aware of being a kid and growing up and figuring out who I am, but at the same time, it's part of what I love. My mom always told me if I love what I'm doing and I'm having fun then just continue to do it. But if it's not fun for me anymore and I'm miserable, then I'm going to go back to Texas and quit it all, to be honest.
AP: Do you feel like the blogs and the celebrity Web sites play up your relationship with Justin Bieber?
Gomez: I think they do kind of blow it up in a way and I do think they want to have something to talk about, so that's the easy thing to do. ... I've known him for a really long time and we enjoy each other's company every now and then. But I'm definitely single and enjoying being that.
AP: What have you learned from Taylor Swift when it comes to making music?
Gomez: I think Taylor has been a really good inspiration in my life in general, not just the music side, just who she is. Taylor's been one of the strongest people I've ever known and she's been through a lot. ... Honestly I think if anything I aspire to be her in her personal life and how she handles herself publicly.
AP: You gave a shout-out to your Bible study crew in your album "thank yous." Is that an important part of your life?
Gomez: I think it's been important for me to kind of keep all of that part of me private just because I know it's such a sensitive subject for everyone and what I believe is maybe not necessarily what you believe and what everyone else believes. It is very important for me to acknowledge it because I'm not ashamed of it, but at the same time I know that people get kind of sensitive with it, so that was really for them.
AP: What it's like being a big sister? (Gomez's mother gave birth to a daughter last month.)
Gomez: It's crazy. There's a 21-year age gap, which is OK, but it's actually really amazing because we won't be fighting over boys or clothes, so I'll be able to be a cool aunt in a way. But I'm absolutely obsessed.

Claudie's Training Diary 3: testing times for the Andromède crew
Well, it's done. The Soyuz Taxi 2 crew has passed all its flight qualification exams successfully. Now we are waiting for the official ceremony on 11 October at Star City. That's when the Joint Approval Commission - it's made up of representatives from Rosaviakosmos, RKK Energia, Star City and various medical organizations - will announce the results. But we know them already.
Our operational qualification involved many different tests. First, there was the manual approach of the spacecraft during the last five kilometres to the ISS. If there is a breakdown in the automatic Kours radar system, the flight engineer - that's me - moves into the upper orbital compartment, sets up the backup laser measuring system and points it at the ISS through one of the viewports. Then I read off speed and distance data to the commander, still in his pilot's seat, which allows him to make the approach to the station safely. It's a kind of very precise ballet between the engineer and the commander, which we spent many hours practising; everything went well.
Then there was manual docking. For that, the commander plays the principal role. He controls the spacecraft's attitude jets and thrusters, while the engineer keeps a lookout and pays attention to the timing. No problems there, either.
Then there was another exam - individual this time - for the commander and the flight engineer. Either of us might have to fly the Soyuz manually from atmospheric re-entry until the parachutes deploy, if the automatic systems fail or if the spacecraft's trajectory is outside the autopilot's limits. On board, there is a useful little box that gives emergency control of the Soyuz roll rate, which adjusts the return trajectory and helps us find the best compromise between acceleration forces and impact point error: the idea is to keep accelerations below 4g and to land within 10 km of our target.
Both commander and engineer are trained in these manual procedures in a static simulator, but we had to pass the exam in a centrifuge - though we ourselves controlled the acceleration. We both came through OK.
The last test - the hardest and the the longest, too - is the full mission simulation. That involves just about everything: we had to go through every step of the mission. Orbital insertion; the first flight checks; orbital correction manoeuvres; approach; docking; undocking; descent. It took about ten hours, in our spacesuits, watched over by a team of experts who took turns devising more and more complex breakdowns and problems to throw at us. We came out of the simulator haggard and exhausted. But we still had a full debriefing session ahead of us before those same experts, who made us explain and justify every action we had taken.
It was a tough one. But we came out of it well -- top marks, in fact. I am lucky that I have no problems with the Russian language: you can't afford to miss even half a word in these situations, where everything depends on cool heads, analysis, foresight and fast decisions.
A few days before the full mission simulation, the medical board had passed us fit for flight. After that - it would have been Tuesday, 2 October - we organized a little party with our instructors to celebrate. Then we left for a few days' well-deserved break with our families in a rest centre not far from Moscow. It was a delight to enjoy the golden colours of the Russian autumn, as well as the presence of our loved ones - and the chance to relax.
In a few hours, we will be leaving for Baikonur for the first checkout of our spacecraft. The crew is ready: now we will see whether the equipment is ready, too.

Finding Your Middle Passage
She has traveled the world, lived abroad, encountered life-changing experiences, met interesting people while having the insight to understand the things she observed had the power and ability to unite a race of people so different and yet so alike in so many ways.
Meet award-winning novelist, Rosalind Kilkenny McLymont. She has a keen passion for the African Diaspora contagious enough that after one conversation with her about the subject you will begin to search for your own middle ground.
She's a wife, a mother and a strong woman with a black belt in Tai Chi. Rosalind has a sense of calm about herself as if life thus far has placed many pearls of wisdom in her purse of knowledge. She is patiently waiting for her next journey in order to share the experience with the world. Â
Saihou Saidy, Director of the Sankaranka Gallery of Contemporary African Art in Brooklyn, recently provided the perfect setting to Rosalind's literary experience. Dramatic actors performed scenes from her self-published novel Middle Ground, in one of the most unique book signings ever.
Surrounded by beautiful hand-made sculptures and paintings by African artists sent directly to the gallery from the continent, the literary experience brought three characters from Middle Ground to life; Shayna, Chrispin and Amina.
The performance of a story that deals with cultural differences and misunderstanding that causes divisions within a single race, immediately captured the audience's attention. It was led through several emotions, ending with a strong love connection. No surprise that a long line quickly formed afterwards as people wanted to buy Rosalind's book and continue the visual journey through her words and their own imagination.
Rosalind has first-hand experience on observing the cultural differences and similarities throughout the African Diaspora. She notes that if Black people around the world united and knocked down the walls of division, great things can happen. "I really wanted to educate and entertain at the same time,â€? she says. "To say 'folks here we are, this is who we are. Let's put our divisions aside and make something for ourselves.'â€? Â
Ask her about the commonalties and differences she's observed in the African Diaspora and watch as her beam with pride. She will tell you about Black people's natural sense of style, strong belief in God, the consistent representation of strong Black women, and common love of dance. "We are so alike throughout the Diaspora; we are different by the cultures with which we have been mixed.�

Profession split over coalition's decision to do away with 'red tape', with some fearing it could devalue the role of good design in planning applications
Profession split over coalition's decision to do away with 'red tape', with some fearing it could devalue the role of good design in planning applications
The government has announced it will scrap Design and Access statements for the majority of planning applications later this month.
From 25 June, the statements will only be needed for major developments: buildings more than 1,000m² and housing projects of 10 dwellings or more. They will also still be required for listed building consent, though the requirements in conservation areas have been relaxed.
The coalition's decision has split the profession. Some welcome the plan, described as a 'more proportionate approach' to planning applications, while others fear it will leave the public struggling to understand the design intention from drawings alone.
Robert Evans, of Matlock-based Evans Vettori, described the move as a 'welcome red tape-buster', adding that many statements often read as 'marketing spiel'.
Evans said: 'While it is helpful to articulate in writing the reason for a design being the way it is, on smaller projects this could be covered [simply] by a paragraph within the planning application form. Good design is a result of good designing, not good design statements.'
Chris Brown, of developer Igloo, agreed: 'The reduction in information requirements for planning applications is where government should have started the process of streamlining planning. Design and Access statements have very little to do with good-quality design, as we can see in poorly designed new buildings all over the country. Their removal for small developments will not be widely mourned.'
But, despite assurances by communities secretary Eric Pickles that the relaxation was based on industry-wide consultation – and though the RIBA has backed the shake-up – many architects remained unconvinced by the changes, claiming the public is ill-equipped to judge applications by drawings alone.
Andy Puncher of London-based ph+ said: 'Design and Access statements offer the public a narrative of a scheme, which [otherwise] is often difficult for them to read and understand.'
At best this move is careless. At worst, it's further evidence of the government's disregard for design quality
Stephen Harding, the RIBA's former head of public affairs, who worked with Richard Rogers in Parliament to get the statements onto the statute books, said: 'At best this move is careless. At worst, it's further evidence of the government's disregard for design quality. It makes it too easy for local planners to overlook the design elements of planning applications, leaving the rest of us to live with the consequences.'
Zoe Smith of ZS Architects added: 'Although one could see this as a loosening of bureaucratic red tape, it does raise concerns about the wider discussion of how we define and argue for good design.'
Meanwhile, David Bonnett, formerly a member of CABE's Inclusion by Design Group, said the change marked a 'worrying reversal for inclusive design, especially for housing' and feared for the future of the Lifetimes Homes standard.
He said: 'Lifetime Homes Standards, the benchmark for inclusivity in housing, are only reviewed as part of the planning process and are not covered by later approvals stages.
'This means that Lifetime Homes are now less likely to feature in small projects. 'I can only hope the minister will change his mind or at least encourage local authorities to adopt Lifetime Homes standards for all projects as part of local planning frameworks. To do otherwise simply shifts the burden of poor housing, once more, to a future generation.'
David McCall of Manchester-based OMI Architects agreed: 'This change will not speed up the process at all - it may actually embroil us in more complications. There is a potential that people won't understand the scheme, object and we will end up having to explain it anyway.'</p>
Other comments:
Anna Scott-Marshall, RIBA head of external affairs:
'The RIBA supports the government's decision to simplify design and access statements. Design and access statements remain crucial in providing an outline on design concepts underpinning a scheme at pre-application stage, but we recognise that they have not always been used in the most effective way.'
Peter Stewart of PSPCA, architecture and planning consultants:
'These statements were really just a way of codifying what was already being submitted by sensible applicants – particularly on major projects - to explain their schemes properly. Inevitably they became bureaucratised as a result of being made 'official'. The government guidance always said they could be short and simple and proportionate to the demands of the project – somehow local authority planners and applicants, between them, managed to overcomplicate them.
'I'd encourage applicants below the threshold, for scheme of any complexity or design ambition, to submit them anyway, to tell the story according to their own set of headings – in their own interests.'
Pascal Madoc-Jones, director of Madoc Architecture
'Any architect who cares about their work will always attach to a planning application a summary of design approach. This will always be couched in the planner language, drawing attention to the relevant clauses in the UDP that apply and how the design responds to them. The reason is pragmatic – to anyone who sits through planning committee meetings and sees screeds of back of the fag packet applications waved without regard to anything but the local policies knows that design is not a primary concern. A statement is a form of insurance the application will be judged by the same criteria as the average, and not treated differently because it is different, and thus problematic.
There's no connection between design quality and a bureaucratic requirement
'The planning process for anything but major projects relegates design quality to a nominal issue – in fact aiming to achieve it almost certainly commits you to a hard ride through the process. Instead of design hurdles, the number of bureaucratic ones seem to increase year on year. I will continue to write up some form of statement for the pragmatic reasons above, but I do not delude myself that there is any connection between design quality and a bureaucratic requirement.'
Richard Simmons, former chief executive of CABE:
'The government [in its response] says councils can still set design and access policies, and developers can explain their designs. I'm not holding my breath. If they do explain, where's the saving in red tape? If they don't, how will we know the interests of people with disabilities are being protected, and the public interest in good design is being safeguarded? Small developments can have a big impact on people. The government says it's big on accountability, so it shouldn't let designers and developers off accounting for their designs.'
Greg Lomas, co-founder of Foster Lomas:
'This is a terrible idea. The design and access statement is actually a key document in explaining a scheme and communicating ideas that may not always be obvious from the drawings. Also it's a skill to write a good statement - a marketable skill architects possess.'
Adam Knibb, founder of Adam Knibb Architects:
'This has the potential to lead to bad and potentially unresolved designs. Although the statement sometimes can feel like additional unnecessary work, it serves to encourage a stratified build up from concept to proposal – something that should be implemented on each project. But without the requirement at planning it might be found that some less design-orientated companies take a quick fix approach and won't consider a full design build up.
This has the potential to lead to bad and potentially unresolved designs
Nevertheless we will still continue to tackle each design on a specific site basis, building up from a concept to final design and producing background information - if not for the planners, then for the clients and ourselves.
Philip Breese, partner at WestonWilliamson + Partners:
'This will not overly effect design. It is no secret local planning authoirty officers are already overstretched and underresourced to the point we sometimes wonder if the thorough design and access statements we prepare are even read. Officers will continue to push hard those architects they know will deliver high quality design whilst on the flip side they will still allow through poorly designed smaller schemes to enable targets to be met, whether a DAS is provided or not.
'We shall not miss writing a DAS to reinstate a railing in RBKC but will continue to produce essential diagrams and sketches to explain our design development and conceptual thinking, no matter the size of the project. Final application drawings often can't and don't convey this thinking.
'Fees have never really crept up to adequately cover the time required to produce a good quality statement, particularly for the smaller jobs. So perhaps we are heading back to where we actually started before the requirement for statements was introduced in the mid noughties. The question being will clients now be looking for even lower fees on smaller jobs citing our workload to prepare an application is now less?'
Readers' comments (3)
As a consultant who advises mostly on small developments the D&A is by far the most costly and time consuming element of the application. It is a matter of a few moments to set out the necessary information in a few short sentences, instead, a whole additional document is required. Planning officers are, generally, competent enough to secure all necessary details of design and to consider access for almost all small schemes without it being set out in a D&A.
I am dealing with one application for a 24 square metre kiosk. The D&A from the original application was four times the length of to application itself! I am re-submitting after June 25th to avoid this.
Good riddance!
I reside on several design review panels across London Boroughs, and in some cases, the panellists are required to review schemes (some controversial/some small) by inclusion of wall mounted drawings and a presentation by the planning officer, minus Architect or Applicant. In these cases, the D&A forms an invaluable narrative and explanation for decision making both wrong and right. Invariably, a well formatted D&A reads true and reflects highly upon the application and design team to deliver quality, and in many cases this reassurance is important to local authorities. The current system is not infallible, and many abuse the format as a means to entice the poorly trained and the lay into thinking the scheme is delivering more than it can. The D&A is also often an excessive drain on resource and time. However, if programmed into the design development correctly and used as a record of progress, recycled regularly, it should not be a burden. Instead, a useful reference mechanism for the team, client and stakeholders. My view remains that the D&A is a useful and necessary tool. It provides an important reference tool for both local authorities and the wider community, and instils a degree of referential rigour allowing those reviewing, insight into chronic deficiencies within applications. A sense of proportion is all that is required however, and this isn't just a matter of scale, it is a matter of complexity.
D7S statements are a waste of time most planning officers dont read them.

Customizing WebCit
Look & Feel
The default WebCit installation will create an empty directory called
static.local. read more on Directories
You may place a file called
webcit.css into this directory. If its present, its referenced after the default stylesheet. If you
know CSS and wish to customize your WebCit installation, any styles you declare in
static.local/webcit.css will override the styles found in
You may also place other files, such as images, in
static.local for further customization.
Your customizations will not be overwritten later upgrades.
To ease the datamodel and deeper customizations possible then via CSS, WebCit younger than 7.50 has a Templating engine allowing to alter look & feel or to create whole new workflows and presentation layers with webcit without having to modify C-Code. The templating prints the Citadel generated data into html files (json or latex notation, you name it…) so you can modify the way Webcit looks and works.
To ease development webcit supports the Firebug Wildfire extension.
Wording / Translating
technical details
WebCit utilizes GNU Gettext to provide localization. As WebCit is threadded, you need threadsafe locale support if you want to provide per user/login locale support. They 're available in the GNU libc used in usual Linux Distributions, and Apples MacOS X. *BSD doesn't; if you need it, report a bug to them. You can however choose one locale every user will see.
Howto participate
Gettext is also the right way to change some strings, if you don't like ours.
If you want to create a translation, you should log into Uncensored! and ask if anybody already started this language. launchpad is used to guide the actual process of translating citadel.
Using Launchpad
At first you need to create a launchpad account, and sign in. Then head over to the translation page of citadel project. Maybe you also want to join the team.
- you should use the launchpad webinterface to edit your translation
- if you don't want to use the webinterface (you're in a train… ) you can download the template from launchpad, use one of the tools mentioned below, and upload it therere when ready (or a certain state was done)
External Translation tools
These external tools can be used to process the po-file downloaded from launchpad; it might be better if you're disconnected from the net. Note that Launchpads translator has the neat feature of sugesting translations from other projects with similar strings.
- you need at least an UTF8 capable editor (as the citadel project has chosen utf8 as charset for its po files, and in the end po's are just text files)
- you could use kbabel
- you could use the eclipse plugin
- you could use this web editor
- install the Emacs PO mode; it works like this:
- Find Next String: ,
- Remove Fuzzy tag: tab
- Next Fuzzy: f
- Next Untranslated: u
- C - CC → exit edit
- use the vim po tools
Hints about some strings
… before you ask… RSVP aka Répondez s'il-vous-plaît Is the term that the recipient of an ical-invitation should please answer this request.
Fuzzy translations
You need to watch out for fuzzy translations, as they're guessed by gettext and need to be reviewed. They also appear if the original string was changed (like formats added).
The fuzzy flag needs to be removed afterwards.
#: c-file the string is kept in #: fuzzy if gettext isn't shure what to do; remove this msgid "The original Message Text" msgstr "Your translation in some other or the same ;-) language"
test-driving your translation
Its always a good idea to test your translation so you can see how webcit combines some of your words and correct possible grammer errors; The calendaring section (and the editor) most probably is the most important section to inspect.
- edit webcit/gettext.c, search for
AvailLangand add yours, recompile and restart webcit to view your work
- upload your po file to launchpad (if they're not already there) and anounce them on Uncensored!

The 2013 SPAR Winter Field Day is over for another year, allowing us time to thaw out before the next one arrives. This year myself, Don VE3MNE, and Bill VA3WOW chose to go to a small uninsulated summer cottage on the shores of Leggat Lake, in Central Frontenac County for the weekend and operate from there.
The first surprise of the weekend was the lack of snow in Central Frontenac at this time of year, normally there is a couple of feet down, this year it barely covered the gravel on the road. On the positive side this made it a safe drive in to the site......which is always a bonus.
|Don VE3MNE working DX
The propagation numbers didn't look too promising as we left on Saturday morning. They were SFI-101; SN-44; A Index-6; and the K Index 3. But it actually wasn't that bad for us, most remote operating sites are very quiet, and Leggat Lake was no different. In fact we had a probable gain of 5 to 6 db compared to our home QTH's, as we had no background noise to fight at all at the lake.
First item on the agenda upon arrival at the cottage was to get the stove going, the place hadn't been used since last October was absolutely freezing. It took nearly 5 hours to finally get the place comfortably warm.......but we suffered through it.
We operated two HF stations, both of them FT-857D's, into simple wire antennas. The antennas of choice this weekend was a 31' foot vertical with nine 16' radials laid out on the snow, and a 66' longwire.
The 66' longwire was a bit of a last minute decision. Don and I had originally planned to use a 44' Doublet, and in fact had it in the truck to use, but we had also recently build some 9:1 Baluns for use with long wire antennas and this was the perfect opportunity to try one out.
The longwire went from the top of a 25' TV tower and was sloped down to lake level where it attached to the 9:1 Balun. A 31' radial was attached and simply laid out on the ice 90 degrees to the wire. The balun was actually just sitting on top of a 18" log out on the ice. Both antennas were up and ready by 1130, just in time for the 1200 start of the event.
Over the weekend we heard, and worked quite a few stations working winter field day. In the past we have been lucky to work one or two. Perhaps this is a sign that the event is finally catching on! We did work DX station after DX station, if we could hear them we could work them.
|This shows the 9:1 Balun location for the 66' long
wire out on the ice.
The propagation figures for Sunday were SFI-97; SN-55; A Index-18; and K Index 1. To be very honest we didn't notice any change in the bands or propagation on Sunday.
Besides South Africa we worked: Cuba, Azores, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Latvia, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Puerto Rico, UK, USA, Canada, and Russia......but alas, no VA3QV!!
It was a great weekend, good food, good wine, and a warm fire....just what the doctor ordered.
It's obvious that the Winter Field Day event needs a lot more advertising done to roust out more operators. It's a good time and has several options that will allow you to take part in it....and no, you don't have to operate from the field outdoors if you don't wish to. It was born out of the idea that not all emergencies and disasters happen in the middle of summer,and that we must be prepared to operate under all conditions...good and bad. It deserves to be better supported by the Emcomm community at large.
Thanks to Ross and Vicky for the use of their cottage.

It was just two nights ago that I returned to the Pearl after a much needed two days off. I returned to the boat around 10pm after a painstakingly long 3 hour bus ride from Dubrovnik, Croatia. The boat currently in Kotor, Montenegro. Customs was the most painful as when I had just nodded off to sleep we were all ordered to disembark for passport inspections. Ugh. The bus ride itself was a trip down memory lane, full of many travelers, far younger than me, and I too remembered when that was me many moons ago. Now was different. I wasn't travelling with the excitement of the unknown, I was returning to my job, my bed, my house (floating house albeit) and my new life.
You might find it strange to hear but for so much of the past few months this boat, the Pearl, has felt at times like a prison. Yeah its a 20 something million dollar boat with everything you could possibly need on here... trust me I packed the pantry... but it was in its own way my prison. There was no escaping when times got tough and nowhere private to go. Don't get me wrong I was loving my new job, loving cooking every day, loving getting paid to read recipes and food blogs and loving the new experiences, but something was just not clicking into place.
But two nights ago it did. I thought after my two day break I'd be dragging myself back to the Pearl, but in fact I was wanting the bus ride to be over so I could get into my own bed. As I boarded the passerail I knew I was home. And so it was then that I knew, and I felt that I've finally found my place here.
It's good timing I suppose as I recently signed a contract for permanent employment. Seems that the captain, crew and owners think I've found my groove also. I'm happy, I'm content, and I don't feel like I'm searching for anything. Well not right now. Not this minute. But give it a week or two...
So that's where I'm at right now, as I sit on the back deck of this beautiful boat in the heat and in the dark, happily people watching as they walk past and take posed photos in front of the Pearl. Theres a wedding close by and the music is loud and traditional... it's gorgeous. I really could sit out here all night. This town really is so so beautiful and to prove it i've posted a few snaps. Not too much food this post- apologies. But we all need a mix up once in a while. Decided to change the font too- it's all happening around here ;) E

Sick Drummer Magazine has uploaded drum-cam footage of drummer Cato Bekkevold of progressive/psychedelic Norwegian black metallers ENSLAVED performing the song "Ethica Odini" during the band's November 26, 2010 concert at the Knitting Factory in Reno, Nevada. Watch the clip below.
"Axioma Ethica Odini", the eleventh studio album from ENSLAVED, sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 16 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Axioma Ethica Odini" was released in Norway on September 20, in the rest of Europe on September 27 and in North America on September 28.
The CD's cover artwork was created by the Norwegian artist Truls Espedal, who has painted every ENSLAVED album cover since 2001's "Monumension".
"Axioma Ethica Odini" was made available as a special edition in gatefold seven-inch format with the entire album on CD and a seven-inch vinyl single as a bonus, as well as a regular jewel case and double vinyl. The bonus seven-inch single includes the songs "Jotunblod (Doom)" and "Migration".
ENSLAVED's eleventh studio album was recorded at three different studios in Bergen, Norway: 1) Duper; 2) Earshot (belonging to ENSLAVED members Herbrand Larsen [keyboardist/backing vocalist] and Ice Dale [lead guitarist]); and 3) Peersonal Sound (owned by rhythm guitarist/songwriter Ivar Bjørnson). It is the follow-up to 2008's "Vertebrae", which sold over 1,100 copies its first week of release in North America and debuted on the American Billboard Hard Music chart at No. 11 and on the Heatseekers chart at No. 49. In ENSLAVED's native country, "Vertebrae" entered the official chart at No. 20 and earned the band its third consecutive Spellemann award (the largest and oldest Norwegian music awards show, which is often referred to as the country's equivalent to the American Grammy Awards). "Vertebrae" also won Terrorizer magazine's coveted "Album of the Year" award for 2008.

From DCIST.com:
Confirmed - D.C. Start for the Giro d'Italia Not Confirmed
"There's nothing like that late-evening call from someone in the know telling you that the post you wrote on the massive international cycling stage-race coming to the District isn't really true. I dare say it, friends, but apparently the Giro d'Italia's coming to America isn't yet set in stone.
A source at the Washington Convention and Sports Authority tells DCist that while a reception will be held tonight at the Italian Embassy featuring Mayor Adrian Fenty, Giro organizer Angelo Zomegnan and other big-wigs, no formal announcement regarding the Giro's alleged start in the District will be made. The reception will merely allow a District-based working group to provide an update on the planning for the race.
The not-so-confirmed confirmation seems to have started across the Atlantic, when Italian paper Il Sole 24 Ore published an article claiming that the District would host both a prologue and a first stage in the 2012 Giro. Pretty much every cycling publication out there jumped on the news, and we followed. The news was even a surprise to some locals involved in the process, who thought someone in Italy had just leaked the news a little prematurely. But so far, everything is still in the planning stages, and Giro organizers have not given the green light for an actual District start."

Matthew strengthened to a hurricane Thursday afternoon as it swirled westward into the open waters of the Caribbean after hitting islands at the sea's southern entry with heavy wind and rain.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Matthew had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph with higher gusts and was moving west at 14 MPH, sitting 125 miles north of Curacao.
Hurricane Matthew was expected to pass to the north of the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, before shifting on a course that was expected to take it toward Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti over the weekend.
Thursday's NHC track had Matthew staying just to the east of South Florida next week, but that could change and a threat to South Florida is not out of the question.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba and the Colombia/Venezuela broder to Riohacha.
Gradual strengthening and a decrease in forward speed were expected into the weekend.
The storm crossed through the southernmost islands of the Lesser Antilles on Wednesday, dropping heavy rains and causing some wind damage. There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries as businesses, airports, schools and government offices closed throughout the area.
Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit told people on that island, where tropical storms have turned deadly in the past, to stay indoors as heavy rain caused flooding in some areas.
"We want to advise people to stay home as much as possible so as not to be exposed to the possible hazards out there. Be safe everyone and let us all pray for better weather conditions,'' Skerrit said.
Many trees fell on the island of Barbados and there were isolated power outages, according to its National Emergency Operations Center.
The National Emergency Management Organization of St. Vincent said about 90 people had been moved into emergency shelters because their homes were in low-lying areas that were expected to flood.
