Santa Margherita Ligure: 19-20 September 2015.
It took place in the enchanting setting of Santa Margherita and the entire Gulf of Tigullio Nucci Novi Trophy 2015, from this year's competition for the class D-One.
Riva del Garda, 4-6 September 2015.
It ended last weekend the European Championship class "D-One", valid for the Italian crews as Italian Championship, organized by Fraglia Vela Riva del Garda.
The ITA D-One fleet made visitors from GBR and HUN very welcome indeed to beautiful Alassio in mid-May.
Full report to follow, but congratulations to Mario Rabbo (ITA 135) on a dominant performance and championship win. Second place was Tamas Szamody (HUN 10), third Alesssandro Novi (ITA 101) and fourth Giles Chipperfield (GBR411).
Alassio lived up to all its reputations: practice day was gloriously sunny with 25kts from the South West and huge rolling waves. 16.0kts achieved on the D-One GPS! Then we had rain and 5kts from the North East, followed by a day of overcast light Easterlies. But then we finished with the most perfect of all sailing days : baking sun, force 3, tight racing. Sailing simply does not get better than this day.
Many thanks to an excellent race team from CNAM Alassio and to all our friends in the class who made the journey. We will all be back.
Il giorno di apertura della Gold Cup si è presentato con condizioni impegnative,i concorrenti provenienti da 9 nazioni si sono svegliati nella splendida cornice della baia di Alassio con un bel sole e una brezza che è durata tutto il giorno. Durante la giornata c'è stata grande alternanaza nelle parti alte della flotta, con Nick Craig alla fine in testa seguito dal ceco Peter Fiala a 4 punti e Uberto Crivelli Visconti, neo campione italiano 49er.

Tag Archives: Britney / Brittany
How Britney Spears saved the world (well . . . at least McKinley High) – A Recap of Glee's "Britney / Brittany"
First, let me start by saying how INSANELY happy I am that Glee has made it cool, again (at least, temporarily), to listen to Britney Spears music! Because . . . and I'm going to come out and say it right now . . . I'm a BIG FAN! You know, people can say whatever they want about Britney. For example, they might comment on her poor taste in men . . .
. . . uninspired fashion choices . . .
. . . or her "Toxic" relationship with the media . . .
But, even the HATERS have to admit, her music gets toes tapping and pelvis' gyrating, like nobody's business!
When I first heard that Glee was doing a Britney-themed episode, I was so excited, that I took the liberty of jotting down some song ideas for the cast. Some of those songs actually ended up in the episode.
Others did not.
Here are a few that, for whatever reason, didn't make the cut.
1) Womanizer
Premise: Now that she's baby-free and single, Puck wants back in the Febray Pantalones, pronto. However, Quinn's seen the way her former beau acts around the women who's pools he cleans . . .
. . . and she's not quite convinced he has the "staying power" for a long-term relationship.
2) Lucky
Premise: Quinn Febray and Santana Lopez — every girl wants to be them, and every guy wants to do them. But not even popularity can cure a lonely heart.
3) Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
Premise: Emma comes to clean to new beau, Carl Howell, about her Energizer Bunny-esque virgin status . . .
4) Circus
Premise: It's Sue Sylvester's world. The rest of us just live in it . . .
5) If You Seek Amy . . .
Premise: Brittany's hidden feelings for Coach Beiste cause her to explore the true nature of her sexuality.
6) Oops, I did it again . . .
Premise: Despite being involved in a very serious relationship with Mike Chang, Tina comes to the conclusion that she may have unwittingly been leading on her ex-beau, Artie.
7) Drive Me Crazy
Premise: See explanation above.
So, now that we've covered some of the Britney songs we DIDN'T hear on this week's Glee, let's talk about the ones we did. When the episode opens, Mr. Schuester is leading the kids in a discussion about what he would like this week's theme to be: Easy Listening Music. (Ugh! What a lame episode THAT would be . . .). Not quite down with his Kenny G or Michael Bolton, Kurt . . .
. . . has a better idea. He suggests the crew perform a Britney Spears song at the homecoming pep rally. Will says, "Absolutely NOT!"
Will considers Britney to be a "bad influence," just because she "shaved her head" and "tried to bash in the headlights of a car with an umbrella." (Seriously, lighten up, Will. I mean, who HASN'T done that, at least once. Right?) Most of the Glee kids bitch and moan about Wet Blanket Will's Anti- Britney proclamation. However, to everyone's surprise, Brittany agrees with his decision.
Apparently, having the name "Brittany S. Pearce" has given our girl quite the inferiority complex. No matter how many times, she's propositioned K-Fed for sex, shaved her head, or called Matt Lauer for an "exclusive interview," Brittany has just never quite been able to live up to the legacy of the songstress with whom she shares her name. I feel your pain Britney. My name used to be Maddy O. Na . . .
Meanwhile, for reasons that didn't quite make sense to me, Will invited Emma's new dentist boyfriend Carl Howell (John Stamos) to talk to his Glee clubbers about the importance of dental hygiene.
An impromptu teeth investigation, reveals that SOME Glee kids have been SERIOUSLY neglecting their chompers. The worst of these offenders, by far, is Brittany, who "never brushes her teeth" and "gargles soda after every meal because she thinks Dr. Pepper is a real doctor." It's a wonder this girl has any teeth left at all!
Because Crest is for weenies . . .
Over at Dr. Howell's office, America's Sexiest Dentist demonstrates preferences for (1) knocking out ALL of his patients with anesthesia (even if they are just having their cavities filled, or getting a "killer" bleach job); and (2) rocking out to Britney Spears, while he works. Under the influence of some pretty heavy drugs, Brittany fantasizes herself right into a Britney Spears' video . . . or should I say a "Brittany S. Pearce" video. In the video, Brittany sings "Slave 4 u" (Who knew actress Heather Morris had such amazing pipes? Why hasn't she been given a solo sooner?), while rocking some of her namesake's choicest outfits . . .
. . . or lack thereof.
When Brittany awakens from her stupor, she has a few less cavities, and a completely altered outlook on life. "Are you a cat?" She asks Uncle Jesse from Full House.
"How could she possibly find out my secret? I've never told ANYONE!"
Later, Brittany returns to the dentist with Santana, who, despite having perfect teeth, insists on being put under, so that she too can have a Britney Spears-themed hallucination. Dr. Howell, who is starting to eerily resemble Michael Jackson's Doctor Conrad Murray, more and more, with every second of airtime (R.I.P. MJ!), reluctantly complies. The two besties, SHARE a fantasy, in which they both perform Me Against the Music. Santana takes on the Madonna role . . .
. . . with Brittany, of course, filling the Britney Spears part . . .
Fans who were hoping for a MTV Movie Awards-style smooch between the two young ingenues . . .
. . . ended up being sorely disappointed here.
However, the fantasy did end with a nice cameo appearance from Britney Spears, herself, in which she told Brittany that the cheerleader was sweet, and (despite NEVER BRUSHING HER TEETH) actually had really good breath.
"Pssst, I'm only saying that to get my Dr. Pepper endorsement money."
The next day at Glee Club, a newly confident Brittany announces that she is more talented than Britney Spears (and Rachel Berry). Therefore, she now wishes to sing ALL the club's solos.
Kurt notes wryly, that Britney Spears music has given Brittany the confidence she needed to wake up from her dimwitted, seemingly lifelong, haze. But Will STILL refuses to let the Glee kids perform a Spears song at Homecoming. In his trademark diva fashion, Kurt overdramatically accuses Will of being too "friggin uptight" . . .
As a result of his outburst, Kurt gets sent to Useless Principal Figgins' office.
"Hey! At least I didn't (1) cut your funding; (2) threaten to cancel Glee club; or (3) take Sue's side in an argument against you, this week."
Unfortunately for Will, Dentist / Wanna Be Shrink, Dr. Carl TOTALLY agrees with Kurt, about the whole "being too uptight" thing.
Carl can tell just how tightly wound Will is, by how much he grinds his teeth. His "loosening up" advice to Will? Eat lots of sugary candy, and buy a fast sports car you can't afford. (OK. I'm going to say it. This guy is officially the WORST DENTIST EVER!)
Now, given his estimated age (early 30's?), Will should, theoretically, still be about a decade away from a proper Mid-Life Crisis. However, that doesn't stop our favorite teacher from purchasing the same "rad sports car" his dentist has, and using it to try to win back Emma. Unfortunately for him, she is unimpressed . . .
To make matter's worse, Will's ex-wife / permanent cock block, Terri . . .
. . . randomly stops by to warn Will that, if he keeps this up, he won't be able to afford the weekly support payment he's required to mail her by law. And this BIATCH still thinks she's getting Will back? Man, I hope Mr. Schuester is not that massive of a MORON . . . However, I fear he might be.
Sorry, Schue! You know I meant that in the nicest way possible. Don't you?
Meanwhile, Finn is stressing over the fact that having been kicked off the football team, makes him officially "uncool."
But Rachel, who has always been uncool, thinks this is GREAT NEWS. "I want to be the only thing that makes you happy. You know the two of us can only work out, if we are both losers . . . Now, I won't have to decide what song to sing at your bedside, when you are in a coma."
Ahhh, such romantic words! It's a wonder, Finn doesn't bone her right there in the hallway!
During her turn in the dentist chair, Rachel has a vision of herself as the Sweet, but Secretly Slutty, school girl in Spears' debut video Hit Me Baby, One More Time. "Is this real life?" Rachel slurs woozily, upon awakening from her anesthetized haze . . .
Apparently, in "real life," McKinley High School has NO DRESS CODE, whatsover. Because, the next day, Rachel decides to wear the outfit in question, FOR REAL.
The whole school ADORES Rachel's new look. And Finn, though obviously titillated, is also more than a bit jealous of the attention his girlfriend is receiving, as a result. "This isn't like that time I dressed all 'Sad Clown' Sandy from Grease," insists Rachel.
Really? Because it seemed EXACTLY like that, to me.
Rachel explains that Britany Spears has finally helped her to realize that she is beautiful, and can, therefore, dress like a whore, without repercussions.
Now that everyone thinks Rachel is a TOTAL Ho-bag, she is suddenly very popular. Therefore, she finds it totally OK for Finn to rejoin the football team . . . if he can.
Later that day, Sue Sylvester contacts Will to warn him of the dangers posed by teens' excessive consumption of Britney Spears.
"Oops . . . I . . . did it again — made a weird 'O' face at the camera"
Sue then recounts the depraved tale of Jacob . . .
Sorry! Wrong one . . .
That's him!
. . . whose intense lust over the newly slutty Rachel, resulted in him sitting naked in the school library, fantasizing about her.
. . . and, while it was a funny scene, the description of the "naked butt sweat stain" Jacob left on Sue's office chair, was just a bit much . . . I think . . .
Meanwhile, Artie's dentist chair-fueled hallucination, which featured him as a football player, alternatingly lifting weights and glaring at Tina, while singing Britney's iconic song "Stronger" . . .
. . . somehow resulted in his and Finn being invited by Coach Beiste to join (and in Finn's case, rejoin) the football team.
I know. It didn't make sense to me either. The song was fun, though!
Upon hearing the news, Rachel — who has since shifted back to wearing Grandma clothes, and fears that Finn's refound popularity will be the death knell for their relationship — offers Finn an ultimatum. Football or her!
I'm still waiting for the episode where Rachel tries to become a cheerleader and / or a football player. Everyone else in the club has . . .
This time, when Kurt makes his umpteenth speech about how Britney Spears is a positive influence on the Glee clubbers, Will surprises them all by saying "Yes," to his request that they perform a Britney song at Homecoming . . .
Did I mention that WILL will be performing the number WITH THEM?
In a performance that's very cool, but a bit creepy, in the "Will sort of fondles his underage students" kind of way, the Glee kids ("fresh off their last place finish at sectionals") perform Toxic, at the pep rally.
The performance drives the teenybopper crowd SO wild, that Sue is forced to pull the fire alarm. Her impulsive move ends up only resulting in more chaos. Sue, gets trampled and sprains her neck. Meanwhile, Jacob grabs some guy's ass and gets punched in the face. When its all over, Sue, now sporting a neckbrace, threatens to sue Will for his part in the "School Sex Riot," using her new lawyer, the ubiquitous, Gloria Allred.
Do I smell another Very Special Guest Star?
Sue also notes, quite accurately, I think, that Will owns more vests than the cast of Blossom . . .
90's television at its finest!
Later, Emma tells Will that he shouldn't try to change himself, because he's "wonderful just the way he is." (Yeah, she TOTALLY still wants him to cash in her V card . . . Don't you DARE deny it, you Unpopped Cherry, YOU!). Inspired by Emma's words, near the end of the episode, Schuester trades in his fancy car for the old jalopy he cried in during Season 1. He then watches glumly, as Emma rides off into the sunset with Uncle Jesse from Full House.
In the final moments of the episode, Rachel, realizing that she has, once again, been a TOTAL ass (as she generally is EVERY episode), dedicates a beautiful interpretation of Paramore's "Only Exception" to Finn, who she loves dearly, and is going to let stay on the football team, after all.
So, what if Rachel only came to her senses, after manipulating Quinn to seduce Finn — thereby testing the latter's loyalty to his and Rachel's burgeoning relationship. We've all gotta start somewhere, right?
Be sure to tune in next week, when Finn becomes all "born-again," after Jesus appears to him, in his morning toast . . .

Shut up and SING! It's almost time for Season 2 of Glee!
If last Sunday's Gleek-tastic Emmy opener put you in the mood to watch your favorite show about singing and dancing teens, Glee, well then you've come to the right blog post. Unfortunately, I don't have quite enough clout in the entertainment world (read: "no clout at all") to show you episodes from the show's groundbreaking Second Season, which is set to premiere Tuesday, September 21st, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
However, I DO have plenty of mildly spoilerish intel about the new season, complete with a few pretty pictures, and some relevant YouTube videos. These should tide you over, while you eagerly await the season premiere.
So, what are we waiting for? Let's get GLEEK-Y!
For starters, here's the new promo for the show, which aired just a few days ago on Fox.
Pretty cool, right? Now, let's breakdown what we've learned about Season 2 so far . . .
Season 2 of Glee is slated to have 22 episodes. The first few episodes will air on Tuesday at 8 p.m on Fox. These early episodes will culminate in a SPECIAL extended episode, which will air following Superbowl XLV.
Following that episode, Glee will move to the much coveted Wednesday at 9 p.m. timeslot. And, you know what that means? More sex, drugs, and violence ALLOWED by the censors!
So far, the producers of Glee have released titles for the first THREE episodes of Season 2, along with brief synopses of each. In the first episode, entitled Audition, New Directions will be forced, due to more budget cuts, to bring on additional members — a task that will cause tension between on-again, off-again couple, Rachel and Finn.
Two auditioners likely to "make the cut," are foreign exchange student Sunshine Corzan, played by YouTube sensation and master songstress of the Philippines, Charice (more on her later) . . .
Newbie Sunshine duking it out with Rachel Berry in the school bathroom, to the tune of Beyonce and Lady Gaga's Telephone.
. . . and transfer student / football jock, Sam Evans (played by Chord Overstreet) . . .
Just like another one of our favorite Gleeks, it appears that Sam's "talents" will be discovered in the shower. How convenient for those of us scouring the net for shirtless shots of the actor to use in future recaps. Just saying . . .
Sam is described by producers as being a protege and eventual rival of Finn's. It is also rumored that he may be an upcoming MAJOR love interest for one Kurt Hummel.
The second episode is entitled "Britney / Brittany." This one will obviously be the much talked about "Britney Spears-themed episode," comprised entirely of songs by the aforementioned artist, and featuring a cameo appearance by Spears herself.
Heather Morris (as Brittany) posing with Britney Spears — I can see a resemblance. Can't you?
The show's third episode, entitled "Faith," will be religous-themed, and feature songs including R.E.M's "Losing my Religion" . . .
. . . and Barbara Streisand's "Papa Can You Hear Me."
Other episodes airing this Season will include a Rocky Horror Picture Show – themed episode . . .
. . . during which the cast of New Directions will undoubtedly perform the Time Warp dance.
Another episode will feature the cast singing entirely ORIGINAL songs. There will also be a second Madonna-themed episode.
In the Season 2 finale, the cast will head to New York City, to compete in the national Glee club competition. There, they will most likely perform Jay Z and Alicia Keys' anthem to the Big Apple, "Empire State of Mind."
"New Directions" for our original Gleeks
If the scoop about Kurt's new love interest enticed you, there is plenty more where that came from! Speaking of Kurt, Mike O'Malley, who warmed everybody's hearts with his performance as Kurt's Dad, Burt Hummel, has been upgraded to season regular status . . .
. . . as have our two favorite "mean girl" Cheerios (and possible lovers?) Heather Morris (Brittany) and Naya Rivera (Santana) . . .
Our favorite love square, starring Rachel, Finn, Quinn and Puck, is said to be in full effect next year. However, a NEW love TRIANGLE will ALSO invade the Glee club. This one will star, the loveable Artie, quirky goth, Tina, and awesome dancer, Mike Chang.
Sources say that when the season opens, Tina will be dating MIKE, having dumped Artie, due to his poor social skills and frequently rude comments.
New Cast Members and Guest Stars
Earlier in this article, I mentioned the cast additions of Chord Overstreet . . .
. . . and Charice.
What I DIDN'T mention was that Charice's character's singing voice will be SO impressive, that it will enable her to make a play for Rachel Berry's crown as Queen Bee of New Directions. Listen to her sing this rather impressive cover of Beyonce's "Halo" (a song which just so happened to be performed on the show, by Lea Michele's Rachel Berry last season), and compare for yourself.
Another addition to the cast will be John Stamos . . .
John will be playing that dentist boyfriend of Emma Pillsbury, Carl Howell, who was briefly mentioned last season.
Although I sincerely doubt John will be singing on the show, fans of the oh-so-cheesetastic 90's sitcom Full House, will likely remember that he CAN, in fact, sing. This will become evident in the VERY retro clip, below.
Also featured in Season 2 will be Cheyenne Jackson, who's character will replace Idina Menzel's Shelby Corcoran as the coach for New Directions' rivals, Vocal Adrenaline. Since I am nothing without my journalistic integrity, I've decided it is absolutely imperative that I provide you with a picture of Cheyenne in his underwear . . .
I will not, however, be providing you with an equally scantily clad photograph of our next new cast member. Dot Jones will appear as McKinley High's new football coach, and rival to BOTH Sue and Will Schuester, Shannon Beiste.
Beware of THE BEISTE!
Other Glee guest stars will include Carol Burnett . . .
. . . who will play Mommy to, none other than, Sue Sylvester . . .
Speaking of Sue, Javier Bardem will guest star as one of her exes.
Woah! Maybe I should start wearing track suits.
Susan Boyle will also guest star as the Singing Lunch Lady.
Look for songs by Billy Joel . . .
. . . Coldplay . . .
. . . Paul McCartney . . .
. . . Courtney Love . . .
. . . and Led Zeppelin . . .
. . . to be featured on the show.
Oh, and just in case you CAN'T wait until September 21st to get your Glee fix, the Complete First Season of Glee DVD set will be available for purchase on September 14th.
You can preorder it (at reduced cost) here.
Of course, September 14th is still over a week away. Is that too many Glee-less days, for you? If so, worry not. Glee: The Beginning, a young adult novel said to function as a prequel for the series, is available in stores, RIGHT NOW!
You can order it, by clicking here.
Not much of a reader? Low on cash? That's OK. I've got something for you too. To conclude this Glee-themed post, I have provided, for your viewing pleasure, a video of that fabulous Journey Medley, performed by the New Directions, during the Season 1 finale. And, just in case, you didn't see it when it first aired, you can find a picturesque recap of the entire episode right here.
Well, that's all I've got, for now. See you on September 21st! Until then, happy Gleek-ing out!

The conflict between India and Pakistan in Kashmir apparently escalated significantly overnight, as Pakistan claims it shot down two Indian warplanes, captured two pilots, and conducted six airstrikes against ground targets on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LOC). As with Tuesday's Indian airstrikes on Pakistani territory, both sides dispute many of the details of these aerial engagements.
According to the Pakistani military, India provoked Wednesday's battle by launching mortar rounds into Pakistani Kashmir, allegedly killing six civilians. Pakistan claims it shot down two of the Indian jets, one of which crashed in Pakistani territory, resulting in the capture of the two-man crew.
Pakistan then conducted a retaliatory strike in which its planes locked their targeting radars on six Indian ground targets to demonstrate their capabilities but then fired their ordnance into empty spaces to avoid causing any damage or casualties.
"This was not a retaliation in a true sense, but to tell Pakistan has the capability, we can do it, but we want to be responsible, we don't want an escalation, we don't want a war," Pakistani spokesman Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The Indians disputed Pakistan's account, claiming its forces responded defensively to more than a dozen instances of heavy weapons fire from Pakistani forces into Indian territory that wounded five Indian soldiers.
"The Indian Army retaliated for effect and our focused fire resulted in severe destruction to five posts and number of casualties," a military spokesman said.
India said its air force repelled a serious Pakistani effort to strike ground targets, losing only one plane in the conflict. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said only one Indian pilot is "missing in action" and his government is attempting to determine if Pakistan has him.
"The Pakistan Air Force was detected and the Indian Air Force responded instantly. In that aerial engagement, one Pakistan Air Force fighter aircraft was shot down by a MiG 21 Bison of the Indian Air Force. The Pakistani aircraft was seen by ground forces falling from the sky on the Pakistan side," the Indian Foreign Ministry stated.
"In this engagement, we have unfortunately lost one MiG 21. The pilot is missing in action. Pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody. We are ascertaining the facts," the statement added.
India also reported a military helicopter crash on its side of the Line of Control that killed at least four people, which could account for Pakistan's tally of two Indian aircraft destroyed.
Pakistan, however, backed up its claims by displaying identity documents taken from two Indian prisoners and displaying video of a single injured, blindfolded prisoner reciting his name and service number.
India shut down six airports near the conflict zone on Wednesday, including the main airport in Kashmir at Srinagar, while Pakistan shut down its airspace entirely and canceled all commercial flights.
Indian officials said evacuation plans are in place to move civilians away from the LOC if the conflict escalates, reporting "panic among the people." Pakistan said it has already evacuated thousands of civilians from the border area, leaving behind only those civilians with ready access to concrete bunkers.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan gave a televised address on Wednesday, offering talks with India to de-escalate the situation.
"History tells us that wars are full of miscalculation. My question is that given the weapons we have, can we afford miscalculation?" Khan said, alluding to the nuclear arsenals both countries possess.
"If we let it happen, it will remain neither in my nor Narendra Modi's control," he warned, naming India's prime minister.
"We should sit down and talk. I once again invite India to come to the negotiating table," he said.
"India does not wish to see further escalation of this situation. India will continue to act with responsibility and restraint," Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said at a meeting with the foreign ministers of China and Russia.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi interrupted a scheduled speech to a youth festival on Wednesday to attend a security briefing. Modi halted his address, waved at the audience, and departed in haste after an aide handed him a report on the Kashmir situation.
Update, 9:35 Eastern: India expressed outrage over Pakistan's treatment of the captured pilot, calling it a "vulgar display of injured personnel." The Pakistani military released an updated statement that it has only one Indian pilot in custody. Indian and Pakistani forces reportedly exchanged heavy fire across the Kashmir LOC on Wednesday morning.

Chelsea Manning Begins A Hunger Strike In Prison: 'I Need Help. I'm Not Getting Any'
Andrew RobertsEntertainment Writer

The latest chapter in Chelsea Manning's story follows a decision the whistleblower and current inmate is making on her own. Currently serving 35 years in prison after being convicted for six counts of espionage, Manning announced her identity as a woman soon after being sentenced and has sought assistance with gender dysphoria from that point on. Her difficulty in attaining this help from prison officials and U.S. government reportedly led to a recent suicide attempt and has now led to Manning protesting her treatment via a hunger strike.
In a statement released via Fight For The Future, Manning details her situation to this point and highlights how she feels she has been mistreated while incarcerated:
"I need help. I am not getting any. I have asked for help time and time again for six years and through five separate confinement locations. My request has only been ignored, delayed, mocked, given trinkets and lip service by the prison, the military, and this administration."
"I need help. I needed help earlier this year. I was driven to suicide by the lack of care for my gender dysphoria that I have been desperate for. I didn't get any. I still haven't gotten any."
Manning cites her reported suicide attempt within the statement and is also facing punishment for the alleged incident that includes "indefinite solitary confinement" and extended prison time. All of this underlines Manning's reasoning for committing to a hunger strike according to the statement:
"I am no longer asking. Now, I am demanding. As of 12:01 am Central Daylight Time on September 9, 2016, and until I am given minimum standards of dignity, respect, and humanity, I shall—refuse to voluntarily cut or shorten my hair in any way; consume any food or drink voluntarily, except for water and currently prescribed medications; and comply with all rules, regulations, laws, and orders that are not related to the two things I have mentioned."
"This is a peaceful act. I intend to keep it as peaceful and non-violent, on my end, as possible. Any physical harm that should come to me at the hands of military or civilian staff will be unnecessary and vindictive. I will not physically resist or in any way harm another person. I have also submitted a "do not resuscitate" letter that is effective immediately. This shall include any attempts to forcibly cut or shorten my hair or to forcibly feed me by any medical or pseudo-medical means."
Manning concludes by saying she will continue until her "permanent incapacitation or death" and plans for this to last a long time. Fox News reached out to the Army who claimed they were looking into the situation.

Jewish cemeteries desecrated in South Africa
Vandals damage four graves in Strand, near Cape Town; community blames vagrants, not anti-Semitism

Graves were vandalized in a South African Jewish cemetery over the weekend, prompting calls from global Jewish organizations for authorities to increase their vigilance against anti-Semitism.
Four graves were reportedly damaged at the cemetery in the town of Strand, 50 kilometers southeast of Cape Town.
The local Jewish community filed a complaint with police.
A spokesperson for the South African Jewish Board of Deputies said the incident was not a case of anti-Semitism. "Vandalism of graves is unfortunately a relatively common occurrence in South Africa," Charisse Zeifert told The Times of Israel by email. "While we have in the past had Jewish graves specifically targeted, as shown by the daubing of anti-Semitic graffiti, this is not the case in the Strand. The perpetrators here appear to be vagrants sleeping in the cemetery.
"While the SAJBD Cape Board had reported the matter to the police, it was to lay a criminal case. The community has put measures in place to prevent similar instances from occurring."
It was the third such incident in a week, following vandalism at two other Jewish cemeteries in the same district.
Nonetheless, Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog warned in a statement that anti-Semitic incidents around the world "don't let up for a moment" and called on countries to step up action against the phenomenon.
"I appeal to governments around the world and to law enforcement authorities to not take it lightly, and to take a firm hand against any manifestation of anti-Semitism," he said.
World Zionist Organization vice chairman Yaakov Hagoel urged South African authorities to find the culprits before the violence escalates and leads to bloodshed.

The mountain of coal outside the Rogers No. 3 shaft of the Palmer Coking Coal Co. operation near Black Diamond shows the extent of coal-mining activity that is still being carried on in King County.
Coal is moving once again through the streets of Black Diamond, Friday, April 15. Four trucks from Moulden & Sons of Enumclaw, began bringing coal into the Palmer Coking Coal Company's washing plant at the north end of town.
"Don't buy your miner's lamp yet!" Hugh McIntosh, public information manager for Seattle City Light, cautioned the Voice last week.
BLACK DIAMOND — Their addresses may be the same, but they really are two communities—one old, one new—in and around this historic Southeast King County town.
The coal industry built Black Diamond a century ago. It was a bustling mining town with colonies of Welshmen, Italians, Slavs, and Finns—and a population three times larger than today.
But oil replaced coal in most of America's furnaces, and Black Diamond already had begun fading by the 1930s. Today its best known export is bread from the bakery. The hills around town produce only a pittance of coal.
Even so, the mineral's imprint on Black Diamond is everywhere. A mountain of slag and a coal car by the highway mark the entrance to town.
A stone in the cemetery tells, in Italian, of three men who died in a 1910 mine explosion. Many of Black Diamond's homes are old coal-company houses, built before World War I.

Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition is the definitive release of RDR. Not only does it include the original game, you also get the meaty Undead Nightmare DLC right out of the box along with all the other maps, missions and outfits that have been released.
Once an outlaw, Marston turns away from the life of crime after a heist goes wrong and he's left for dead by his fellow gang members. In the course of three years the man sorts his life out and gets a wife, son and farm to call his own.
Marston is forced back into the gunslinging business when the Justice Department asks him to bring his former friends down. When he refuses, the government agents resort to holding his family hostage unless he does what they ask. This is the bit where the player jumps in, playing both sides of a war between the lawless and the lawful; with the latter appearing to be just as corrupt as the former.
Using a control method similar to that of Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption offers a huge open world that changes dynamically depending on your actions. You can choose to either be a good-natured bounty hunter or a vicious outlaw escaping a bounty. Wherever you go, your reputation will precede you.
A vast array of weapons and items can be picked up and used in play, and if you're having trouble with any of it you can simply engage the Dead Eye mode to pick off individual targets in a slow-motion manner. With certain weapons, you can even pick different body parts on the same enemy.
Along with the length of the single-player campaign, Red Dead Redemption contains a large multiplayer mode for online mayhem, with traditional gaming lobbies replaced with open worlds similar to that of Marston's land. Deathmatches can be played, as well as hilarious rounds of gold bag grabbing. Be the best in the West!
Undead Nightmare is the first add-on pack that brings a whole new single-player campaign to the wild west. The new story takes place in-between the "home" period of Red Dead Redemption's main plot, and the end of the game itself. That's the time elapsed when John Marston rebuilds his ranch, which Rockstar imagines is a period that lasted several months.
As Marston, your objective is to find a way to stop a deadly virus outbreak that is turning the West from Wild to Feral, while uncovering the mystery as to how it all started in the first place. There are several graveyards dotted around the world map that appear to be the source of the zombie invasion. If you want to progress through the Undead Nightmare episode with as little hassle as possible, you're going to need to seek out these graveyards and use the torch – a new weapon – to burn the cursed coffins that reside within them. This will give you some time to explore the land at your leisure while keeping the overall zombie population low.

Q: Recording video with flash and send videofile to server Everyone knows that recording a video with the user's webcam is possible with flash in the browser - but all the solutions I found until now involve a rmtp server that accepts a stream from the flash app. Is there a way to use webcam recording without such an extra media server?
The usecase I want to implement is the following:

Show the user the output of his webcam on the screen. The user can hit a record button which will trigger the flash app to record 5 seconds of video material. The recorded video should be sent to the server as .flv file where it can be processed later.

Since the video will only be a few seconds long the amount of data is not a problem. But my actual question is: Is this somehow technically possible to do in Flash?

A: You could use a jpg encoder (adobe core libs) to store a small series of jpgs as bytedata, zip it up (also adobe core libs) and send that to your server to be uncompressed and turned into an FLV. Warning, this could lead to quite large memory consumpsion if either the length is too long or the frame rate is high!

A: You can use a third-party service in the cloud.  In that case you don't need to have a media server yourself.  You could probably use an online service like Nimbb to record and then move the FLV file to Amazon S3 or your own server.

Kress Family Trail Description
The 3.1-mile Kress Family Trail in Roxbury occupies the former route of the Shepaug Valley Railroad (the Shepaug, Litchfield and Northern Railroad). The railroad was famously known as the "crookedest railroad east of California," meandering 32 miles to cover a distance of 18 miles as the crow flies. The trail charts a serpentine course through the river valley, linking the Orzech Family Preserve to the River Road, Erbacher, and Golden Harvest Preserves. The Roxbury Land Trust manages these natural areas.
The best place to start is the entrance to the Orzech Family Preserve on Botsford Hill Road, near the sky-blue barns of Orzech Farm. There is parking here, as well as a kiosk with a map and tips for encountering wildlife (bears, specifically). Past the gate, you will find yourself plunged into a fairy-tale forest, where rows of slender hemlock trees envelop the trail in a leafy embrace. Offshoot hiking paths peel off from the rail-trail, taking travelers deeper into the woods. Blue blazes mark trees along these paths for navigation.
Although you can catch glimpses of the Shepaug River between the trees, Volunteers Bridge offers the best viewpoint of the watercourse. This quirky wooden footbridge was built by—as you may have guessed—volunteers from Roxbury, and clearly takes its inspiration from truss railroad bridges of years past. It's located 1.4 miles from the trailhead. Across the bridge is the River Road Preserve, with picnic tables, a map kiosk, and more trails. Back on the trail, the route winds through verdant woodland and bucolic meadows to finally end on Minor Bridge Road.
Though the trail is open for cycling, its uneven surface makes for a bumpy ride in places. You are welcome to bring your dog, but dogs must remain leashed.
The Roxbury Land Trust has built a small parking area at the northern end of the trail; it's located off Botsford Hill Road near Route 67. To reach the parking lot: From I-84, take Exit 9 for CT 25 toward Brookfield. Head north on Hawleyville Road/CT 25, and go 3.5 miles. Turn right onto CT 133 and continue on it 6.3 miles, then take a right onto Clapboard Road. In 1.2 miles, make a right turn onto CT 67, and in 1 mile make a final right turn onto Botsford Hill Road. The entrance to Orzech Family Preserve will be on your right.
(There is another parking area at the Minor Bridge end of the trail, but it is for Roxbury residents only with a risk of a $90 fine for those who park without a permit.)

Peaceful Scenic Trail
July, 2016 by mimikuehn
This trail runs along the Shepaug river and past / through beautiful fields. It is used for walking, biking and shoe shoeing. It is PET FRIENDLY. There is a parking lot at the entrance where you will also find a picnic table. The trail is covered by a canopy of trees for most of the ride. We took the trail to the open field where it moves around and brings you back
Nice Trail along the Shepaug River
May, 2013 by ctsoxceltsfan34
Nice flat dirt trail which takes you along the Shepaug River as well as wooded lands. The path had bikers along with hikers, joggers, and sone furry friends as well (dogs). Most of the trail is shaded but there were a few spotswhere you would get some sun.
Will def return in the future. I did not give 5 stars as i did not complete the entire trail this first time.

In Pictures: Wheelchair no impediment to Hong Kong's frontline protest photographer
by Guest Contributor 23:22, 22 August 2020 20:58, 23 August 2020
By Kevin Cheng
Tommy Wong is a Hong Kong protester-turned-journalist with a difference. He reports on the city from a wheelchair. Born with muscular dystrophy, his condition has not hampered his ability to cover events during the past year of political discontent.
"I am no different from most people, both physically and mentally. The only difference is that I have an electronic wheelchair as my legs," Wong told HKFP.
Photo: Kevin Cheng/United Social Press.
After attending peaceful pro-democracy marches in Hong Kong last year, initially against an ill-fated extradition treaty with mainland China, Wong could not join the protest front lines due to safety concerns. Undeterred, he decided to continue to report on calmer events and joined local pro-democracy media platform White Night Media.
Commenting on the biggest difference between being a protester and a reporter, Wong said it was not being able to incorporate his opinions into reporting: "Being a reporter, we have to be objective in our reporting and be critical of what is happening at the frontline. Though we cannot be completely neutral, I have to try hard to be objective in order to report the truth."
"To stand one step back makes me feel less emotional. When I was a protester, I was overwhelmed by my feelings, but now I have another perspective."
In the course of his reporting, he has been motivated by the kindness of strangers, who clear the way for him when they see him approaching, wearing a yellow press vest. Others have offered him food and water.
"These are very kind gestures. Some people might think the work I'm doing is tough, so they encourage me. Care from passersby during the protests have left a very warm and deep impression on me," he said.
Although the Disability Discrimination Ordinance dictates requirements for barrier-free access facilities for the city's disabled, Hong Kong's narrow streets and its abundance of stairs and escalators can still make it a difficult and inaccessible city to those using wheelchairs.
"It only takes one elevated step… and I can't pass through," he said.
Being a wheelchair reporter comes with other challenges: "I have to hold the camera and to control the wheelchair at the same time. To do two things at once is the most challenging thing for a wheelchair reporter," he explained.
Another cause of frustration also comes from the police. Being a handicapped reporter has not exempted him from mistreatment: "Once when I was in Tuen Mun with my friends, we passed by the police and I heard them say 'Wow, how come a [handicap] like him be a journalist?" he said.
" I think as a public servant, [the officer] should not say discriminatory things like this to journalists or citizens."
Once, while covering a protest in Sha Tin's New Plaza, police closed off most exits and started deploying pepper spray and using batons within the mall. The only available exit was a narrow door connected by a step. This meant Wong was effectively trapped within the building with the riot police.
Recalling the pandemonium, Wong said: "It was chaos, the police don't care if you are in a wheelchair or not. They push forward with their batons. They might or might not hit you – it was so crowded and you cannot just leave. It was dangerous."
But these dangers have not shaken his resolve. Asked whether the people close to him are scared for his well-being while he is at work, Wong dismissed concerns: "Not really. I am not worried."
"I will do as much as I can. I don't live with my family, I don't have a girlfriend. I take responsibility for myself. My friends and family know the risks that I'm taking and remind me to be careful."
"Shooting from the frontline is risky but I think what I am doing is right. I have chosen my path, and will stand firm."
Being a wheelchair reporter enables him to see what others do not see and add new angles to reportage on the city, he said: "I should not give up because it is scary. I choose to do it because it is worthwhile to do so."

In what may seem hard to believe, two £1 Million raffle tickets are yet to cashed in by their ticket holders. This means that there are two EuroMillions raffle players out there unaware that they are millionaires. To an avid lottery player, this can be shocking, as other than being glued to their television station during the EuroMillions draws; they know the winning numbers by heart!
Both the tickets were bought in Nottingham and Doncaster, England last month. The ticket holders have until September to claim their prize. If by then, nobody comes forward to claim the winnings the £ 2 Million will go the National lottery Good Cause Fund. The fund has raised £27 Billion since its inception in 1994.
The raffle is an extension of the EuroMillions lottery. Players in the EuroMillions raffle win by matching the raffle number at the bottom of the ticket. Each EuroMillions raffle ticket is worth a whopping one million Euros. The winning raffle number on the unclaimed tickets was LHZ360128 and FGL789613.
The game comes with a guarantee of making a UK Lottery player a winner every Tuesday and Friday. Players can play the Euro Millions lottery online £11.4 Million jackpot here.
