Our driver was exactly what we hoped and a little more: punctual, responsible trough out the entire duration of our trip, understanding and efficient, overall very proficient. Also, thanks to the support team who was very efficient with helping us locate our driver at the arrival ( it was our first time in Bulgaria and we were a little lost in translation). Thank you!
All went very well. He had a board clearly marking my name. He was extremely pleasant and courteous. Spoke a little English. Would use kiwitaxi again. Thank you.
The taxi driver was very open to conversation, entertaining as well as instructive and took care into making the travel as pleasant as possible while driving through the outskirts of Hamburg. Furthermore, he took me right to my hotel door in front of the airport even when he didnt actually have to! A wonderful experience. 100% recommend.
In case of Corona the Taxi Service was running without any complications. The driver was very friendly and kind. Drove very smooth. And the price was incredible. Thank you for your help in this strange time with Corona to helped us come home as soon as possible.
The driver was there on time, even at bit earlier, he was very courteous, and he arrived in Dubai well ahead of time whilst always driving carefully and observing the speed limit. The car was spacious and clean. So, all in all it was a very positive experience.
The driver was on time. He was easy to find. He was very helpful with the bags both at pickup and the destination. He knew where he was going and the vehicle was more than adequate for 4 people. What more could we ask for, very pleasant experience overall.
The driver was waiting for us with a sign as out train arrived. His car was clean and comfortable. He drove safely and knew the route. Very happy with the service. Thank you.
It was easy to make booking through the app. Once the booking is confirmed then they will send driver's number to be contacted. The driver arrived on time, the car is so big and clean. Beyond my expectation.
Good communication prior to trip from Kiwitaxi. Driver arrived on time was well presented in a good Lexus car. Drove professionally and safely. Am using again.
The driver arrived at my hotel just slightly before the pick-up time that had been arranged. He helped me with my luggage, has good driving skills and was courteous. I am very pleased with the service.

I know that it is Thursday, but it has taken me two days to get this post finished in between laundry, naps, MOPS, and all the other normal everyday happenings here.
Okay so I will admit that I am getting older, but I have to say that even though I was in bed by about 11pm every night this weekend, it was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. We had so many laughs and stories to share and time to just hang out. So here is how it went down.
Maddie had school- I thought that I would be taking her since on Monday and Wednesday she wanted me to take her, but grandma was already taking her, but nope she wanted grandpa to take her to school. So while she was at school I got the bathroom cleaned and then Lilly and I went and ran 2 errands before picking Maddie up. Emma of course, didn't want to leave the house, but more on that later. Grandpa went to play golf in the afternoon, Emma and Lilly napped and Maddie and I waited for Jill and Jay to get here from Minnesota. They got here around 1:30. Maddie played shy for about 5 minutes and then was wrestling with Jay. After the other girls got up from nap we all headed out to ML to get Chad from practice. Since we all know Chad's time management, we ended up running around at school for about an hour. We headed over to Champps for some dinner and then home to put the girls to bed and play some euchre. This was all in the course of lots of laughs because Jay fell of the curb, no one could remember what trump was and Jill kept forgetting about the left bowers. We then decided to call it a night knowing that the next couple of days would be long.
Chad was off to his game by about 9am and we all kept wondering if it was going to get canceled, because there was some rain, but it ended up not being enough to cancel. Anne and Fritz got dropped off around noon since they spend Friday night with some other friends. We waited for the Chapmans and then it was off to the mall to eat before the game. It seems that the food court is one of Maddie's favorite places to eat. We headed out to Chad's game, not knowing which field they were at, but we took a shot in the dark and headed to Madison Park and they were there. It was a good game, the kids played on the playground, we actually saw most of the game, Lilly got passed around, and it even turned out to be a pretty nice day. They ended up losing by one, but it was a pretty good game. Jay, Jill, Anne, Fritz, Lilly and I headed out to Germantown to drop some stuff off for Sunday and we hung out for just a little while before needing to get back to the house. We played cards, watched the Brewers, and laughed for the rest of the evening. The Chapmans headed down to my aunt and uncles for the evening and mom and dad went with for a little while. Once gain I might have been sleeping by about 11pm, but I still had a great time.
The big day!! We all were up and ready to go and got to church in a timely fashion. Lilly did great, I don't think she made a peep the whole service. Anne was relieved when uncle Kurt held her for the majority of the service. The other girls were a little loud, but we survived- even being in the front row. After the service we headed up to Germantown for lunch and a day of playing outside. All the kids enjoyed the swing set, the sandbox, and of course grandpa J's pond with the fish in it. Most everyone was on their way around 3pm and we spent the rest of the afternoon just sitting around talking and laughing. If you haven't guessed there is a theme to this weekend, talking and laughing. We got home and the girls weren't quite ready for bed, so we let them stay up for a little while. While Maddie was enjoying her peanut butter sandwich, Anne was enjoying telling her stories. Maddie was laughing and it was just so funny to listen to the two of them. I'm pretty sure Maddie thinks Anne is the coolest, even if she is a Mets fan. Anne and I headed to Kopp's for an after dinner snack, of course everyone else put in an order as well.
We were heading to the Brewers game- it was a 1:05 game. We were planning on tailgating, but decided to just cook the food here and then take it down to the stadium. We didn't have to hassle with a grill and all those things. The girls headed to the grocery store in the morning, but then had to stop at Kohls only because I was making fun of Chad for wearing a CC shirt, since he doesn't play for us anymore. So we all picked up a new Brewers shirt for the boys. Lilly also got some new Brewers gear too. We got the cars loaded up and headed out. We were only in the parking lot for about an hour, but the boys played bean bags, while we just sat and people watched. That is always fun at the stadium. Into the game we went. I knew that I wouldn't see too much of it since we had all three girls. Emma fell asleep in the 2nd inning, Lilly spent most of the game with Jill, and Maddie settled after about the 4th inning. It was a really quick game (2hrs 27min) and it even went into extra innings. The Brewers did end up winning, too bad they lost the next two. We went back out to the parking lot to wait for the traffic and then it was off to the airport to drop Anne and Fritz off. They got home with no problems. Jay and Jill headed back to Minnesota from the game too. We spent the rest of Monday just catching our breath.
The last couple of days we have been cleaning and playing catch up on the laundry. It is nice to think that the week is already almost over. Chad has his last day of classes today, student help day tomorrow, and then finals next Mon, Tues, and Wed. He has his regional baseball game tomorrow. Good thing it is suppose to be sunny and 70. If they win they play Tuesday. He is also heading down to Texas on Saturday afternoon. He is giving the graduation speech down at Concordia. It is a short trip, but I am sure that he will have a good time. I'm sure we will manage while he is gone. We are going to the Brewers game on Sunday with my parents and the girls. Maddie has school Monday and a field trip Tuesday and that is the last day. Then it is her birthday Friday. I think we are just planning on having some cake and giving her her presents on Saturday. Nothing too big, but a little celebration for her. I guess I should get going on that, since it is just about a week away. Any ideas, throw them my way.
Enjoy all the pictures from the weekend.

Hell's Bells
So there have been 19 home games for the Brewers and I have been at three of them. Now remember that Hoffman was also out for the beginning of the season, but last Wednesday we went to the game and I got to hear Hell's Bells for the first time in Miller Park and let's just say that it was awesome. The roof was closed because it rained throughout the whole game and so it was even louder and shook even more. It was cool to see what you know will be a future hall of famer do what he does best. He got the job done and I think it was all in about 10 pitches. Thursday was a day game and we actually thought about going, if I would have known how nice it was going to be I would have taken Maddie. Anyways, one of the pastors at mom and dad's church said that he was driving on 41 past the stadium when Hoffman came in to pitch and with his windows closed, he could hear Hell's Bells. Back to Wednseday's game- was so hoping that Weeks would have gotten that double to hit for the cycle. We then wouldn't have to always have the trivia question about Chad Moeller being the last Brewer to hit for the cycle.
You didn't think that I would post and not give a Lilly update. Well she is doing great, the girls still think that she is still pretty cool. I am waiting for the day when the novelty wears off. This past weekend Maddie went with grandma and grandpa Heff to visit the Pownell's in Iowa. They left Saturday morning and got back in the early evening Sunday. Chad had a game in Racine on Saturday. Emma, Lilly, and I headed up to Germantown to hang out and then Chad joined us later in the day. We stayed over there and on Sunday we finally got the swing set up. The boys took care of that while Christina and I did some yard work.
We are getting ready for Lilly's reaffrimation on Sunday. Jay and Jill are coming down on Friday and so I am hoping that we get some good card games in. Then on Saturday Anne and Fritz will be here and so I am sure that we will be heading to Chad's game as long as the weather cooperates, then we are just planning on hanging out since we all don't see each other that much. Monday the Brewers play the Cards and so some of us are going to that. Of course we just swept them down there and so I am hoping that we don't embarass ourselves here.
Maddie has just a couple weeks of school left- we are trying to get her to grasp the concept of summer vacation. She knows that she doesn't have to go to school, but doesn't quite get why it is such a big deal. She is going to VBS at grandma and grandpa's church since ours isn't having one this year. I am also thinking about putting her in tennis lessons through the rec department- she told me she would rather do tennis then t-ball.
Emma is still working on this whole potty thing. She is going every once in awhile, it is usually just a fluke. She is still not so sure about school, but I think it is growing on her. We will see how the summer and this potty thing goes. She has always been afraid of the carwash, but in the last couple of days every time we say that we are going somewhere, she has to make sure that we are NOT going to the carwash. I think she must have dreamt about the carwash or something. She is just so funny sometimes.
Chad has two weeks of school and then finals. Graduation is June 5th. He is going down to Texas on the 30th for graduation there. I know that he is looking forward to it. Baseball is starting to wind down. They have two conference games left, a tournament this weekend and then their regional game on the 29th. They got a 4 seed and so that means that they get a home game that day.
We are getting ready for summer here- just trying to get through the last few days of school without any major problems.

Mother's Day Craziness
So we came home from the hospital on Saturday morning and had some visitors later in the afternoon. Grandma and Grandpa J came over. Grandpa J had been in St. Louis when Lilly was born, so he had to get his time in. Aunt Kendra and uncle Kurt came with them and also Aunt Kathy along with cousins Luke and Ben drove up for the day. The came by and hung out for just a little while, but it was nice to see them and let them meet Lilly. Luke really liked her and just wanted to hold her. Ben wasn't as sure, but still wanted to check her out. The rest of Saturday we just hung out at home eating pizza and watching the Brewers. Ben and Christina came over for a little while in the evening and then it was off to bed (or to see what sleep we would get).
Lilly is actually a champion eater and sleeper. She is a little mixed up, but has been doing great. She eats just about every 4 hours and even sometimes about 5 at night. Chad has been letting me go to bed around 10 and he will feed her around midnight. She will usually sleep soundly until 2/2:30, but then gets a little restless. I can rock her back to sleep and she will sleep for another 2 hours or so. We will feed somewhere between 4 and 5 and then it is back to sleep until about 8am.
We headed to church on Sunday, some of the older ladies around us couldn't believe that she was just 3 days old. It was kind of funny to see their reactions, but she was great and slept the whole time. When we got home the Chapmans and Heffelfingers were already here. So that meant craziness was coming- 7 of 8 cousins were at the house for Mother's Day. We missed having the Pownell family, but will see them in a couple of weeks. Who was going to the Brewers game was still undecided, but eventually dad, Alan, Amy, Chad, and I went. So that meant that mom, Tracie, and Joel took on the 7 kids and no one had anything broken or bloody when we got back. They did great. Tracie cooked some lasagne and pizza for dinner, it was yummy. My aunt, uncle, and cousin Alex stopped over and the kids just went nutso because Alex was entertaining them. Chad, myself and Alex took Kate, Ben, Maddie, Ella, Sam, and Emma to the playground for a little while, while their parents were getting ready to go home. Ben and Christina stopped over again, very briefly, I think they were a little intimidated by all the chaos. Everyone was on their way home and we all just took the rest of the evening to relax.
Monday Chad took the day off and helped by taking Maddie to school in the morning. We had to take Lilly to the doctor to get her Hepatitis B shot- Emma was with us, but didn't want to stay in the room while Lilly got her shot. We picked Maddie up and made sure to let Mrs. Willer see Lilly, since Maddie made sure to let us know that we needed to bring her to pickup. We grabbed some lunch and then headed home for naps. Chad had a game and so he was off to his game. Tuesday it was just us girls and we did just great. It was a nice day and after grandpa got home, we headed out to Chad's game. Well grandpa, Lilly, Maddie, and I did. Emma was all ready to go and then we started walking out the door decided she wanted to stay home with grandma. It was a little windy at the game, but it was actually pretty nice. Today was school again for Maddie- grandma dropped her off on her way to work. She was going on a field trip to Greenfield park to learn about frogs, but then she said that they didn't see any frogs. Oh well, I guess it was a little too cold for the frogs. We are hoping we don't get too much rain this afternoon- we are suppose to be going to the Brewers game tonight, but we will see how the rain goes.
Here are a few pictures from me trying to get a good one for Lilly's birth announcements. Maddie got in on the shoot and even took a few herself.

Lillian Joy
7lbs. 14oz
20 1/2 inches
The girls came up with Chad in the later afternoon. They weren't so sure about it all right away, but I think there were too many people there. Grandma J, uncle Kurt, aunt Lydia, grandma and grandpa Heff, and I think they were a little intimidated. After the Germantown Janetzkes left and grandma Heff left for her meeting, they were a little bit more curious about Lilly and wanting to hold her. They each took a turn holding her, Maddie was a little more hesitant then Emma.
The evening was pretty uneventful- uncle Ben and Christina came around 7:45 and stayed until about 9pm. It made the evening go a little quicker for me. I let Lilly go to the nursery again for the night so I could get some sleep, I figure tonight I don't have the option of her going to the nursery. This morning Chad came around 10am and we were on our way around 11:15am. We were waiting for my doctor to come and let me go. The girls were very excited when we got home- and now Lilly is resting with grandma.
I am happy to be home and back in the real world. We will be taking it easy today since tomorrow the Chapmans and Chicago Heffelfingers will be coming for Mother's Day. So that means lots of cousins around tomorrow. Chad is taking Monday off, which will help since Maddie has school and Lilly has a doctor's appointment. His baseball game this morning was canceled, but we are still waiting for word about tonight's game. It would be nice if the game was canceled and we could all just hang out, but I'm not that worried about it. I'm sure more pictures will be to come.

Details of a new (old) Scott Lynch book
We haven't heard much about the book since, and it was assumed it would be delayed until some time after The Republic of Thieves (the third novel in the sequence) was published. According to Upcoming4.me, Gollancz have now indicated that the book will be published on 1 March 2013, with a length of approximately 100,000 words. Whilst rough cover art is provided, it's unlikely to be the final artwork as the image is a placeholder that has been used for several Lynch books in the past, and given that the art style has changed radically for the final version of The Republic of Thieves it's likely this will change as well.
As for The Republic of Thieves itself, it is still listed for a very late 2012 release but this date is - still - not finalised yet.
Note the source for the above appears to be Amazon.com, whose reliability is dubious.
Update: The release date of March 2013 is incorrect. It will follow some time after The Republic of Thieves has been published (whenever that is).

The date for the omnibus is absolute, unequivocal nonsense. Thank you for not taking whoever "update4me" is at face value on this one, Adam.
- 7 May 2012 at 16:08:00 GMT
- Adam Whitehead said...
Not a problem Scott.
I seem to have accidentally deleted another comment that was posted here (about the source being Amazon UK and not Amazon US). Sorry to the poster about that.
- 7 May 2012 at 17:13:00 GMT
I think you are being a bit harsh on the original source even though the info was taken from Amazon.
Which begs the question, who sets the date on Amazons? Do they pull it out of the hat or is it something that the publisher provides?
I understand the specific situation with Scott Lynch but if I'm preordering something I kinda expect the quoted date to be true
- 7 May 2012 at 18:17:00 GMT
- Adam Whitehead said...
Amazon asks publishers for dates and uses what is given to them. If the publishers refuse to give them a date, Amazon will pull a date out of their backside.
Why exactly Amazon can't have a 'tbc' category for their book dates, like they do for DVDs, music and computer games, is something that has never been explained.
- 7 May 2012 at 20:14:00 GMT
Ah that explains it, thanks a lot!
Simply unbelievable - i didn't have a clue.
- 7 May 2012 at 22:03:00 GMT
- Jamie said...
Adam (re: Amazon dates),do you know that for a fact, or is it a theory?
I certainly find it believable, but if so, it begs the question: why do they do that for books and not video games, DVDs etc....
- 8 May 2012 at 10:42:00 GMT
Back in April Scott Lynch did a reading from The Mad Baron's Mechanical Attic at the KGB Bar in New York.
Here is a link to the Fantasy Faction site about said event and film of Scott in action.

"Adam (re: Amazon dates),do you know that for a fact, or is it a theory?"
No, that's a fact. Bantam and Voyager refused to give Amazon any release dates for A DANCE WITH DRAGONS for most of the time the book was in gestation, so Amazon made up their own ones. This drove the author and the publishers up the wall as they got complaining emails from fans accusing them of missed dates when they hadn't actually given out any hard dates at all and it was all down to Amazon making stuff up.
- 8 May 2012 at 15:02:00 GMT
- Scott Lynch said...
I don't mean to be unduly harsh to whoever runs "update4me," but there were other simple check-ups that could have been made... an e-mail to me, or to my publisher, or a simple glance at the Gollancz blog and websites.
The Bastards & Knives omnibus basically shouldn't even BE in Amazon's database yet, but there was an initial mistake long ago that is difficult and tedious to explain. Suffice to say: The cat got out of the bag years in advance. The cat cannot go back into the bag. Amazon keeps giving seemingly random/guesstimated release dates to said cat.
Wackiness continues to ensue.
- 8 May 2012 at 17:11:00 GMT
- Jamie said...
Thanks Adam - very bad mojo from Amazon, and actually damaging to people and their reputations.
Scott, many thanks for contributing, and I hope it's visible that, in the midst of the wailing, gnashing and keyboard pounding, there are those of us who put you first and the books second - much as we love them.
Best wishes
- 9 May 2012 at 03:13:00 GMT
- Jamie said...
Also, one other point that may be worth mentioning is that I *believe* that Sub Press may have a period of exclusivity on the book before it's published through the normal channels?
If that's true, and taking into account that they put their titles up for pre-order way in advance of publication (and are smart enough to not give an exact date for that)the 2013 date becomes even more unrealistic.
- 9 May 2012 at 03:24:00 GMT
- Upcoming4.me said...
Hello, people from Upcoming4.me here to tone things down and hopefully explain.
First of all, Scott and everyone, we are deeply sorry and we hope we haven't cause any lasting harm.
To explain, we were not aware beforehand about the personal issues of Scott Lynch because we follow the books themselves and not the personal lives of the authors, so when we found that same information about the books is published on multiple websites such as Amazon, Waterstones, WHsmith, stating the release date, number of pages and even number of words, we were very happy thinking that the new book is coming out and thought the information to be correct and received from published. We weren't aware that the information is old.
Sadly, we were wrong.
I hope you understand that it was never our intention to cause harm or to misinform anyone, especially not an author whose work we love and respect.
We did bare fact checking but all the data we found searching pointed to one direction. Reported delays (ie on Gollancz blog that Scott mentioned) were concerned only with Republic of Thieves delays and not this book in particular (of we didn't find them) and, as i said, since we don't follow private lives of the authors we weren't aware something was amiss and therefore we are deeply sorry.
Unfortunately we don't and can't check every information we find on the internet directly from the authors and publishers since they usually don't divulge that kind of information to us, especially about future releases, and we are limited with time. We do this for free in spare time out of love for books and reading. I know that is not an excuse but i'm just stating it as it is and that in special circumstances like this mistakes are definitely possible.
Once again, we apologize for reporting wrong information.
There was no intention whatsoever in doing so and it took us minutes to rectify it after Wertzone reported it was incorrect.
We are deeply sorry!

What kind of other hidden secrets could Slave 1 possibly have underneath that cloaking device? Could it be it's a robot in disguise?
We know that Boba has been an agent of the Empire, an enemy of the Empire, and the scourge of the Solo's. But who does Slave 1 work for? We've always known Slave 1 to be one of Boba Fett's most powerful tools when searching for his prey. However, all this time, could Slave 1 have been an agent for the...Decepticons?
This March, Hasbro releases Wave 2 of the Star Wars Transformers action figure/vehicles. This wave includes non-other than Slave 1, which transforms into a rather odd looking robotic Boba Fett figure. Although it really has nothing to do with the actual Transformers and their story, this should be a load of fun for those of us who remember the 80's, and those who grew up on the newer versions.
See our Bounty entry for more about it.

CyanogenMod CM9 (Android ICS) on HP Touchpad
I finally got around to trying CM9 on my Touchpad and I must say it works pretty well (except for the webcam and microphone, which don't work at all).
It was fairly straightforward, but I didn't get everything right initially because the instructions I was referring to didn't point to the right files or files with the right names.
I am not going to do a tutorial — there are many out there — but I'll link to useful information and other hard-to-find information in this post.
Refer to instructions from here (but only download Novacom from this link — see below):

While Dunbar sat strapped to a seat in the orbiter, a crewmate a fraction of her
size discovered newfound freedom. Affectionately called "Smart Willie" by a crew
member, the fugitive fruit fly broke out of a research cage and to the best of anyone's
guess, his ultimate demise. First spotted by crew and watched on German television
in ground control, "Smart Willie" floated and tumbled about in the weightlessness
of space. Unable to fly, "Willie" grabbed onto any surface he could find, clinging
for dear life.
A miniscule speck with wings, Willie's similarities to human beings appeared downright
implausible. But there were many: the genes, cellular makeup, brain cell development,
and behavior. As it turned out, fruit flies – shuttle regulars - promised to help
extend missions by revealing the impact of space on the human body.
Willie spent his final moments contributing to the cause on board Shuttle Challenger
with a host of fellow fruit flies and eight human crew mates, including Dunbar on
her maiden voyage to space.
Nearly 30 years had passed since an 8-year-old scoured the skies over Outlook for
a small Russian satellite. Now she was seeing our majestic world from orbit with
her our own eyes.
At an inclination of 57 degrees to the Equator, Dunbar could see the South Pole
to her right and the North Pole to her left. She saw the Southern Lights – formed
by a combination of the Sun's particles and Earth's magnetic pole producing brilliant
color and light.
"You float there in front of the overhead windows that are now pointed at the direction
you're flying. And I could only think about being on the deck of the Starship Enterprise.
(laughing) You know, going where no man or woman has gone before."
The Washington native had done it. With a team of astronauts, she carried out roughly
100 experiments during that first mission and the flight was hailed a success.
In 1990, Dunbar returned to space (STS-32) chasing an orbiting satellite that had
been circling Earth six years. By the time Columbia, first orbiter of the shuttle
fleet, closed in on the satellite, the moving target had looped Earth nearly 33,000
times. The delicate dance involved a 178,000-pound (80,739 kg) orbiter and a 21,400-pound
(9,707 kg) satellite known as the Long Duration Exposure Facility or LDEF. The satellite,
taxied to space in 1984 by a shuttle, was soaking up all it could from the environment.
LDEF, held a treasure of knowledge about our outside world. But it had been orbiting
too long due to delays from the Challenger tragedy that temporarily grounded the
Space Shuttle Program. The satellite was slowly falling out of orbit. Waiting in
the wings for the dramatic rescue were some 200 principal investigators in nine
countries across the world. They wanted LDEF's data.
On a mission to snare the de-orbiting satellite, Dr. Dunbar and team began to rendezvous
with LDEF. Already hard to fathom for the layman, the stunt becomes impossibly tricky
when you consider the cramped quarters of Columbia's Cargo Bay. It was only 15 feet
(4.6 m) wide. LDEF stretched 14 feet (4.3 m). The Columbia team had all of 12 inches
(30.5 cm) to spare.
In a mind boggling maneuver, Dr. Dunbar nabbed the satellite with a 50-foot (15.24
m) robotic arm designed by the Canadian Space Agency. Slowly she began inching the bus-size satellite into the bay.
"I would not have been able to capture
it if (Mission Commander) Dan Brandenstein had not been able to maneuver the shuttle
close enough, in exactly the right spot so the arm could reach it," Dunbar says.
"That was key, because you have two bodies now orbiting the Earth at 17,500 miles
per hour (28,164 km/h). … You're always excited before and after, but in the middle
of performing, whether you're an athlete or a race car driver or a pilot, you are
really focusing on what you're doing. Everything you've done, in terms of training,
it's like your finals. If you've been in the middle of a final, are you thinking
about your emotions at that time? You think about answering the question on the
To those holding their breath back on Earth, Dunbar passed the test with flying
colors. LDEF appeared battered and bruised as expected - but remarkably intact after
six long years in the wilds of outer space.
It wasn't long before Dunbar ventured to the wilds of Star City, 20 miles (32 km)
or so from Moscow. The once top-secret Gagarian Cosmonaut Training Center invited
the best, brightest and bravest across the world to train for space travel. The
center was named for Yuri Gagarin, who rose to international stardom in 1961 when
he became the first human to orbit Earth. (Russia's first "cosmonaut" was a dog.
Sputnik II launched a canine named Laika into space in 1957.)
In 1994, Dr. Norman Thagard was ready to make history himself as the first American
to ride the Russian Rocket Soyuz to space. But Thagard needed a back-up and few
volunteered, according to Colonel Terrence Wilcutt, a NASA colleague. The Soviet
Union had collapsed, the U.S. presence there was minimal, and the winters were bitterly
But with three missions behind her, Bonnie Dunbar embraced the challenge. In nothing
flat, she had her bags packed for Star City. Dunbar made great Russian friends during
her 13-month stay and trained with cosmonauts Anatoly Solovyev and Nikolai Budarinan
to bring two countries, once at odds, closer together. The crew trained on a multitude
of experiments provided by both the U.S. and Russia.
On March 14, 1995, Dunbar witnessed history in the making. Thagard boarded the Russian
spacecraft Soyuz for a nearly four-month visit to Mir, the 135-ton Russian Space
Station that orbited Earth for 15 years. (In 2001, Mir was intentionally de-orbited
and broke apart over the Pacific Ocean.)
By this time, the protracted Cold War standoff between the United States and Russia
had thawed dramatically. Two nations stood on the brink of uniting in orbit to signal
a new beginning. Soon, they'd create a massive complex in space to pave the way
for the International Space Station. The Atlantis-Mir coupling would stretch 234
feet (71.3 m), the length of a Boeing 747.
It was June 27, 1995. Dr. Bonnie Dunbar was about to make her fourth trip into space
aboard Shuttle Atlantis (STS-71). It whisked away from Earth with five Americans,
two Russians, and a host of medical experiments on board. The flight marked the
100th mission for the U.S. space program and the first international docking in
two decades. Atlantis delivered cosmonauts Solovyev and Budarin to Mir and picked
up Dr. Thagard. To gauge the impact of space on the human body, the Atlantis team
conducted medical evaluations on Dr. Thagard and the two cosmonauts.
The United States and Russia were poised for the docking. "You can't make this unbelievable
transition from pointing weapons at one another to working together without bumps
in the road," NASA chief Daniel S. Goldin told The New York Times of the dark history
that had once plagued the two nations. "But the relationship is rock solid. This
proves that if you put your mind to something and search for common interests, you
can build bridges."
High above Central Asia and at breakneck speeds–the main engines of Atlantis fired
for 45 seconds. The orbiter positioned itself within nine miles of its target. "We
can see Mir's running lights," Captain Gibson told Houston. One more firing and
the two massive spacecraft almost connected.
"You never think about making history while you're there," says Dunbar. "If you're
doing that you're not putting all your brain cells where they need to be."
A support team spread across the world gave the OK for the link-up. "Houston," Captain
Robert Gibson radioed to ground controllers, "we have capture." Applause erupted.
Dunbar is still impressed the docking occurred on the first attempt.
U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts happily greeted each other in space. They
were hundreds of miles from the surface of the Earth with no hint of the Cold War.
Dr. Dunbar affixed an Atlantis-Mir crew patch on one of the station's switch boxes
marking the event.

This first photo is the focus of our attention today. Eileen is about 12 years old, in sixth grade most likely, about 1930. The physical photo I scanned is less than an inch square. Perhaps it was a school photo, but more likely, I think it was taken at a booth at a fair. They were popular in the 1930s... I have one of her and Dad later... This is my Mom, Eileen KINNICK, of course.
Just for the comparison, here she is, near her 80th birthday, in her last year or so.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Safety is top priority at Jacksonville's Gun Show this weekend following five accidental shootings Saturday at gun shows in other parts of the country.
All five of the shootings occurred as gun owners were unloading their guns or removing their weapons before entering the shows.
RELATED: 3 injured at N.C. gun show
"It doesn't shock me, but it's inevitable, it's a like a driver who drives 190,000 miles a year: you're going to get a flat tire," said gun show organizer Skip Gwinn. "You have people at shows like this who have handled guns all their lives. It shouldn't happen but it does."
Saturday's accidental shootings injuring five people occurred at gun shows Indianapolis, North Carolina and Ohio. Organizers in Jacksonville say wherever there are guns, unfortunately, there are also accidents.
"There is a renewed sense of safety here," said Gwinn. "Jacksonville Sheriff's Office) officers are examining the guns being brought into the show closely. They are asking gun enthusiasts if their weapons are loaded and are they carrying ammunition."
Gwinn said the weapons are tied so they can't be fired when they are brought into the show. A team of plain-clothes employee are also circling the Jacksonville Fairgrounds to make sure the weapons are not loaded.
"There's going to be accidents, no matter what happens." said gun owner Bob Gundel. "There are experienced people who have held guns all their lives. It's one of those things you can't avoid."
Organizers say President Barack Obama's proposed changes to existing gun laws has attracted people to the show who have never owned a gun, and with the inexperience comes mistakes.
"We have signs out front that say, 'If you have a gun, or even a concealed weapons permit, there are no loaded guns allowed inside the show.' And still some people bring them in. You'll see police officers there at the front, emptying rounds," said Gwinn.

But fantasy isn't all he writes. He helped me with a teen book that is soon (prayerfully) to be published and he is the student columnist in the current Heart and Mind issue (spring). Look for him, his pen name is Christian Ohnimus (rhymes with anonymous.)
Here is something that he wrote for the newsletter of the Holy Adoration Eucharistic Chapel:
After a fast-paced week full of school, work and extra-curricular activities, the quiet peace-time of holy adoration early Saturday mornings has been a wonderful way to tone it all down for me, and has been for years. With the constant hustle and bustle of everyday life, and the constant contact with sounds and noises that go along with it, there really is no better way to relax than to spend time with God, and chapel is the perfect place to do that. With the soft glow of lights, flickering candles, and most importantly, the very presence of God in the Eucharist looking down on the bowed heads of those at prayer, a quiet atmosphere ensues the moment one enters the chapel.
But holy adoration is more than a way to relax, it is a special time set aside to commune with God in ways that really are not the same when at prayer even in the comfort of one's own home. One seems to discover a content and quiet peace of mind the moment the door closes behind them, shutting out the busy world outside for a time; for chapel really is its own little world, detached from the material things just outside its doors, in the world, but not of the world.
Time should be set aside in prayer every day, of course, but attending chapel once a week gives one the chance to incorporate prayer into our lives in a way that really keeps us focused on prayer, placing God at the top of the list and just letting the rest of our lives fall into place around Him. Time spent talking to God through prayer, reading scripture and in meditation becomes even more potent when directly in the presence of the Eucharist and our awareness of the presence of God and the impact he has on our lives is enhanced beyond previous degrees to new levels that help to develop our spiritual lives so that we may come ever closer to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
This article brought me to tears.
Hope you don't mind a little mom bragging.

I am in the middle of migrating a Wiki database from WOS (www.chsoftware.net) to XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org) version 1.8.1.
I have successfully installed XAMPP on my notebook, but I receive the following error when I enter http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page into my web brower's address box:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM), expecting \\ (T_NS_SEPARATOR) in C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\includes\Title.php on line 640
I'm not familiar with .php file code syntax, but it looks like an incompatibility between WOS' scripting language and XAMPP's.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Pushing the gay TV envelope
Who is the bigger threat to "traditional marriage'': a gay suburban couple, or Rielle Hunter?
INTERVIEW: OLTL's Brett Claywell (Kyle)
"Every day he and I showed up together that we were working together, you can be sure we were running our lines," says Claywell. "We were wiling to go on a journey and open up our hearts in front of those cameras. There are some people out in the world, actors who say nobody's watching daytime, nobody cares, nobody's seeing us, they go through the motions, it doesn't matter. To us, we never had a day like that. That's why the rumors that came out were so offensive and hurtful and cruel."
"We celebrated at the GLAAD awards and hung out after," says Claywell. "Scott and his brother Chris [Evans, of Fantastic Four fame] are coming to my birthday in April in Vegas. I get to meet his real brother and hang out, and that'll be a good celebration for us, good closure."
Will Chris Evans Play Captain America?
Marvel Studios made Chris Evans an offer to play Captain America. But it's not set in stone. Y&R's Wilson Bethel was also up for the role.

Swajeski: "One thing that came to us right away [surrounded] James Mitchell [Palmer Cortlandt]'s passing. We love Palmer and his whole legacy. So, to be able to get in there, we decided to design a lot of our stories around him. It will be a Pandora's Box opening when his will is read. We wanted to use that and a lot of characters coming off of that. That was special to us."
Kreizman: "Angie and Jesse is another couple that we were really looking forward to giving a story. They've been under-utilized for a while, and we think they are great."

Oh great, more gay characters that are white. And HBO bought the rights to verbotene whatever, that german soap w/ a white gay couple. So HBO will probably make them both white. Sarcastic yay.ReplyDelete
When will they cast lgbtq characters that are of color to be the leads?

How Much do Double Hung Windows Cost?
Discussing How Much Double Hung Windows Cost
The cost for double hung windows ranges from $80 to $200 or more. The price varies based on the type of material, manufacturer, and size. Costs typically include the window, labor, and trim. In some cases, however, labor might not be included.
Type of Material
The type of material plays a major role in determining whether you will pay $80 for your windows or more than $200. The most common types of material for double hung windows are aluminum, fiberglass, vinyl, and wood. Wood is the most expensive material, followed by fiberglass and aluminum. Vinyl is the least expensive material for double hung windows.
There are hundreds of double hung window manufacturers to choose from, but several manufacturers are considered the most popular — and the most expensive. They include Andersen, JELD-WEN, Marvin, Milgard, and Pella
These companies and most others sell pre-made double hung windows in many sizes. If you can't find the right size window and it has to be custom made, the cost will be several hundred dollars higher — or more.
Double hung window size varies depending on placement and style. A small casement window for a closet or bathroom will cost less than an oversized window for a living room or dining room. Oversized casement windows are designed for openings as large as 5 1/2 feet x 10 1/2 feet', making them a challenge to install. This difficulty may increase labor costs.

Worries about being bitten by infected pigs at E3 2009 may have put a damper on the giant video game expo, but those fears haven't affected Nintendo's plans to exhibit its wares next week.
The company told Kotaku today it has not restricted international travel for key Nintendo employees due to concerns over swine flu, which may not actually be transmitted via pig bites. Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and president Satoru Iwata will make E3 appearances as planned.
"Nintendo has been carefully monitoring the situation worldwide and is taking appropriate steps to minimize health risks for everyone," Nintendo said in an official statement. "As of now, Nintendo has no travel bans in place, but is instructing employees whose travel cannot wait to take precautions, such as wearing protective masks and washing their hands frequently."
Companies including Capcom, Square Enix, and Koei have all expressed plans to limit travel to the U.S. amid health concerns. But Nintendo fans can count on smiles, not surgical masks, on faces at E3.
"Video game fans can rest assured that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata will be presenting during the company's E3 Expo media briefing the morning of June 2, and that legendary Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto will host a developer roundtable event later that day."
If anything, Miyamoto may be able to turn swine flu pandemic concerns into a strong game concept. And, no, Dr. Mario doesn't count!

Pilot scheme shows that giving naloxone to families of drug users saves lives
A pilot scheme has shown that providing family and friends with training and the drug naloxone seems to reduce deaths from overdose among heroin users and other opioids misusers, says the English National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse, a special health authority of the NHS.
During the pilot scheme 20 users overdosed, and carers gave naloxone to 18. All the users survived. Family members, partners, or other drug users are often first to find a user who has overdosed.

L'homme Ideal Cologne
Eau de Toilette
The ideal man is a myth. His fragrance, a reality.
Indisponible - CA$ 100.00
Guerlain decodes men's aspirations and creates for them a concentrate of ideal.
The ideal cologne? It has the energy of citrus, the charm of fresh, masculine almond and the classic loyalty of a musk and vetiver blend. Three elements which will turn you into the ideal man: sought-out and much-coveted.
The ideal bottle?
Masculine, luxurious, distinguished. The box, with its bold twist of vibrant blue, comes equipped with a flash code that invites you into a digital universe. The bottle's luminous matte white lacquer emphasises the purity of its minimalist design. The heavy cap, also in matte white, is resolutely masculine, its design recalling the world of watchmaking with a nod to the form of a classic winder.
Woody citrus
Guerlain's masculine almond is a new arrangement orchestrated around three accords:
The energy of a sparkling top note, fresh and lively with grapefruit, orange and bergamot.
The charm of a middle note that skilfully combines fresh almond and neroli.
The classic loyalty of an enveloping base note, swathed in the softness of white musks blended with the strength of Indian vetiver.
L'Homme Ideal Cologne was conceived as an unusual marriage of two contrasting notes: Indian Vetiver and fresh almond. The vividness of Vetiver - fresh and woody, lively and heady - is enhanced and intensified by almond, the olfactory emblem of L'Homme Ideal. A harmonious and bold alliance that combines the raw ingredients of Guerlain's heritage into a resolutely fresh and modern perfume.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
NEXT PTA MEETING: 7.00pm on Wednesday 15th January 2020 in Atom Cafe, Kennion Building.
The Blue School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) raises much-needed funds to contribute to the school and its enrichment. With the increasing financial pressures on schools across the country, the role that we play for the Blue School has never been more important.
We raise funds mainly through Glastonbury stewarding, the Blue School Lottery, and special events.
We are always keen to hear from parents with bright new ideas and who would like to help. This can be volunteer time, in kind skills, raffle prizes, sponsorship, corporate giving or anything else we haven't thought of!
Over recent years the PTA has proudly helped the school to purchase:
- School Council Building
- Minibuses
- State of the art digital lazer cutter
- Camping equipment to re-instate the Duke of Edinburgh scheme in school
We have also helped individual departments to purchase:
- Suite of iPads for Geography field trips
- Fox-proof fencing for the school chickens enclosure
- New sofas and paint scheme for the Learning Resources Centre
We want to not only continue but increase the funds we raise for the Blue School, and we need your help to do this. Harnessing the skills and connections that we know are out there amongst parents and carers will help your children and the school they attend to continue to thrive.
Want to hear more? Get involved? Make a difference?
Get in touch with us: email@example.com and/or come along to one of our friendly PTA meetings in Atom Café (next to Kennion Hall) at 7.00pm on the second Wednesday each half term.
Too busy already? You can buy a Blue School Lottery ticket for yourself or a friend on SCOPAY. Winning tickets are drawn quarterly; first prize now £200 + and the lottery alone has raised over £2,000 over the last year towards school fund-raising campaigns.Like The Blue School PTA on Facebook

You don't have to have the programming adapter button either. Just pull off the rubber side cover, there is a 6 pin connector there. Jam a key or pocketkife in the back two (upper and lower) contacts while holding the FCN key and it will go into programming mode that way. We use that feature all the time in the fire service

I just got an old UHF Bendix King, but when I put it in the programming mode it doesn't stay in that mode. It almost seems like the battery is shot. Will a bad battery cause this to happen?

Re: Bendix King Programming Instructions
If it cycles power due to a battery problem then that will cause it to exit program mode. NIFC has some nice programming instructions you can print and laminate for your wallet or pocket if you want.

Suffolk: Livestock tops fire service animal rescue list
PUBLISHED: 14:15 11 February 2013 | UPDATED: 14:15 11 February 2013
(c) copyright citizenside.com
TALES of cats being plucked to safety from tall trees and steep roof-tops by firefighters have been well documented.
But what may come as a surprise is that the vast majority of animal rescue missions carried out by Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) during the past two years have been to save livestock and wild animals. Figures released to the EADT by the service show that out of 139 animal rescues performed by fire crews in 2011 and 20 12, just 37 were for domestic pets.
Among the most common missions are saving animals from heights, freeing them from mud or water and 'lifting' heavy animals. Fire crews have also been called upon to perform 'underground' rescues.
SFRS recorded numerous incidences of deer that had to be released from metal railings, and 20 cases of wild birds that had become trapped high up in wires or netting. The more unusual cases included a squirrel stuck in the engine bay of a car in Mildenhall and a horse in Haverhill that became wedged after trying to jump over its stable door.
In most cases, rescue missions are a joint effort between RSPCA officers and the fire service. Once they have been rescued, the charity will usually pay to have any wild animal treated by a vet. According to an RSPCA spokesman, wild animals are given the same priority as domestic pets and livestock. He said: "We often send our inspectors out to deal with situations such as badgers or foxes caught in football netting or stuck in fencing. Any animal that is in need of our help, we would aim to get to as soon as possible. But as we only have about 400 uniformed staff in the UK who often cover vast rural areas and are under great pressures to respond quickly, we are massively grateful for the backing of the fire service."
He said criticism of the fire service for devoting resources to animal rescues was unfair, adding: "People need to be aware that firefighters are not neglecting other areas of their work to help with animal rescues. They will always prioritise if there's a fire and in the meantime, the rescue work helps sharpen their training and skills."
Suffolk's assistant chief fire officer, Phil Embury, said local people looked to the fire service for help in different emergency situations, including the rescue of domestic and wild animals in distress. He added: "Firefighters are professionally trained in a wide range of rescue skills, including large animal rescue awareness, and they carry extensive rescue equipment. We will always seek to provide humanitarian services and alleviate suffering in animals where resources allow and our crews see this as very much part of their job."

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team shut out NEC foe Mount St. Mary's on Sunday in Emmitsburg, MD, topping the Mountaineers by a score of 2-0. With the win, the Blue Devils improve to 5-11 on the season and 3-3 in NEC play.
Freshman Laura Gomez netted the game winner, notching the first goal of her career while senior co-captain Jewel Robinson scored the insurance goal with 20 minutes left in the second period.
CCSU dominated the field in the first half, managing to keep the ball deep in Mount territory for the majority of the period. The Blue Devils outshot the Mountaineers 11-4 in the first half alone, overall they prevailed in shots 23-12.
Despite the aggressive offensive front, the Blue Devils were unable to find the back of the net in the first period and the teams went into the locker rooms scoreless at halftime.
Gomez put the Blue Devils on the board just under nine minutes into the second half after junior Christina Boucher worked the ball to the front of the net. Robinson tapped it to Gomez and she finished the play for her first career goal.
In the 69th minute, Robinson dribbled past two defenders to take her shot, launching it low past Mount keeper Vicky Cocozza for CCSU's second and final goal.
Senior Nikola Deiter tallied seven saves in her first shutout of the season, the 14th of her career.
Of Central's 23 shots, 12 were on goal. Juniors Tori Sousa and Kerriann Welch each posted three shots, two on goal. Freshman Kelly Halligan notched two more on goal along with Robinson's two.
The Blue Devils will travel to Bryant on Friday, Nov. 1 for their final road game of the season before returning home to host the Wagner Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 3 for senior day. This Friday's contest against Bryant is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to Latin America and the Caribbean climbed by 16 per cent in 2011, driven mainly by higher investment in South America, UNCTAD's annual survey of investment trends indicates.
FDI entering South America rose by 34 per cent, while inflows to Central America and the Caribbean, excluding those to offshore financial centres, increased by 4 per cent (see figure 1). FDI to offshore financial centres fell by 4 per cent, the World Investment Report 20121 notes.
The report, subtitled, "Towards a New Generation of Investment Policies," was released today.
According to the publication, high FDI growth in South America was mainly due to its expanding consumer markets, relatively high growth rates and natural-resources endowment. In Central America and the Caribbean, excluding offshore financial centres, a more positive outlook in 2011 for the United States of America -- with which these countries have deep economic ties -- offset the impact of the weakening global economy on FDI. In 2011, FDI to offshore financial centres remained significant, representing 31 per cent of the region's total.
Although investors from developed countries increased their investment in greenfield FDI projects in 2011 (up 19 per cent), they have also divested more assets than they have purchased in the region's cross-border merger and acquisition market during the last three years, particularly in the case of European and North American transnational corporations (TNCs). This is occurring at the same time as the advance of TNCs from Japan and from developing economies. Examples include the acquisition by Mitsubishi (Japan) of copper assets in Chile from Anglo American (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) for $5.4 billion; and the acquisition by a Japanese investor group of Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. (Canada) for $724 million. Other examples are the purchase by two Chinese companies (Sinopec and Sinochem) of petroleum assets in Argentina and Brazil from Occidental Petroleum (United States) and Statoil (Norway) for the respective amounts of $2.4 billion and $3.1 billion.
The report says this trend is likely to continue in 2012 with the announced retreat of some major European financial institutions as they respond to pressure to bolster their balance sheets. The gap will likely be filled by local or regional institutions looking to become international in scope, the World Investment Report 2012 contends. Banco Santander (Spain), for example, announced the sale of assets in Colombia to Chile's Corpbanca for $1.2 billion, and ING (Netherlands) announced that it would sell its insurance and pensions businesses across much of Latin America to the Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana (Colombia) for $3.85 billion.
Outward FDI flows from Latin America and the Caribbean have become highly volatile since the global financial crisis, the report notes. They decreased by 17 per cent in 2011 after a 121 per cent increase in 2010. That increase, in turn, followed a 44 per cent decline in 2009. This volatility is due to the growing importance of flows that are not necessarily related to investment in productive activity abroad, as reflected by the high share of offshore financial centres in total FDI flows from the region, and the increasing repatriation of intra-company loans by Brazilian outward investors, which reached a record $21 billion in 2011.
A shift towards a greater use of industrial policy is occurring in some countries in the region, with a series of measures designed to build productive capacities and boost the manufacturing sector. These measures include higher tariff barriers, more stringent criteria for licences and increased preference for domestic production in public procurement. These policies may induce "barrier-hopping" FDI into the region; and appear to have had an effect on firms' investment plans. TNCs in the automobile, computer and agriculture-machinery industries have announced investment plans in the region. These investments are by traditional European and North American investors to the region, as well as TNCs from developing countries and Japan.
Short-term prospects of FDI to Latin America and the Caribbean are muted, the report says. The region is likely to remain attractive to foreign direct investors given its natural resources and its relatively higher growth prospects at a time of overall global uncertainty. In addition, the shift towards a greater use of industrial policy may induce "barrier-hopping" FDI into the region, and appear to have already had an effect on firms' investment plans. However, the uncertainty created at the global level by the European debt crisis is affecting the region's short-term prospects as well as FDI, which is likely to register, at the best, a slight growth in 2012.

Dauntsey's School headteacher Mark Lascelles hailed the school's A-level results.
He said: "An impressive 52.1 per cent, of some 400 entries, were awarded A* or A grades.
"With a splendid 20.4 oer cent A* grades for the 120 candidates, special congratulations go to the eight pupils who achieved three or four of the top grades."
He said the hard work of so many pupils and staff, at the independent school in West Lavington, were rewarded with fine grades.
He congratulated parents of the pupils and thanked them for their support and encouragement throughout their children's time at Dauntsey's.
