We woke up excited about our adventure for the day. I made us bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, we had our coffee and got ready for our adventure. Jim called for an Uber so we would be able to, as they say bar hop and he'd be happy. Our very first Uber ride arrived around 10:30. Takes about a good 20 minutes to get there he dropped us off.
We bought tickets for the trolley ride tour. The whole round trip ride has 15 stops, we rode a good half-hour and our first place we got off was Marathon Motor Works. They have a marathon car that was built before Ford there's eight left and there was four of them there, Ford Company put them out of business, here's some pictures.
A lot of cool gift shop areas it was a Hair Salon Spa in there all kinds of old tools, Jim love looking at, the machinery.
Jim also did a whiskey tasting there five different types of whiskey. Then we got back on the trolley and rode some more. We got off near the end and then went to eat lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. There were two guitar players in there, that is what brought us in, they were so good. The food wasn't bad either kind of pricey.
Then we did our bar hopping, I think Kid Rock's Bar was the first one we went into and that place was hopping .
there was another bar where a guy was playing Garth songs, called Big Shotz.
Then we went back to Kid Rock's Bar, different group was playing but it was really good.
we are die hard Survivor fans I realized it would be on in about an hour. So Jim called Uber, and it's amazing how fast somebody is there, they picked us up and we got home right before 8 I took a quick shower and a snack, Jim packed up some stuff outside because we leave tomorrow and we watch Survivor and worked on the blog. Which ended one fabulous day in Nashville Tennessee.

The Supreme Court will decide software development's future in Google v. Oracle
The final steps are being made in the Google v. Oracle copyright case, which will put the fate of programming in the hands of the Supreme Court.

Ten years ago, Oracle desperate to monetize its failed Sun purchase sued Google to squeeze profits out of its use of Java APIs in Android. Oracle won its point, that application programming interfaces (API)s were subject to copyright. Now, Google, having gotten the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to reconsider Oracle's court victory, is laying out its plan to save software development.
That's not hyperbole. As the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) states, "allowing copyright on APIs is a terrible idea for computer science." That's because almost all modern software depends on open APIs. When your web browser works with Amazon, Apple, Microsoft -- any complex site really -- it communicates through APIs. When your smartphone shows you the weather, directions to your doctor's office, or a video, it uses APIs to bridge the gap between services and servers and your devices. And, it goes on and on.
Even Microsoft, no friend of Google, sees its argument. In a SCOTUS filing, Microsoft stated: "Consumers ... expect to be able to take a photo on their Apple phone, save it onto Google's cloud servers, and edit it on their Surface tablets."
Historically, APIs weren't copyrighted. While valuable, there's nothing creative about an API. It just spells out how external programs can work with the program or service. As Uri Sarid, software integration company MuleSoft CTO, wrote about this case several years ago, "APIs are quite utilitarian, like an ATM machine's operation: slide your card here, punch your code there, select from a menu, and expect cash in return. How could that be copyrighted?"
Oracle argued Google had infringed Oracle's copyright by copying into Android the "structure, sequence and organization" of 37 Java APIs.
U.S. District Court of Northern California judge William Alsup, a programmer in his own right, tossed out the jury's verdict. He wrote that an API is merely "a long hierarchy of over six thousand commands to carry out pre-assigned functions. For that reason, it cannot receive copyright protection — patent protection perhaps — but not copyright protection." Oracle lost its patent lawsuit long ago.
Even if APIs were copyrightable, Google argued that it could use them for free thanks to "fair use." As Alsup explained, "The policy behind the right of fair use is to encourage and allow the development of new ideas that build on earlier ones, thus providing a counterbalance to the copyright policy to protect creative works."
All programmers know this. But what's common sense to programmers is incomprehensible to some judges. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled Google's Java API work wasn't fair use. In a puzzling decision, the court ruled that because Google's use of the Java APIs was "overwhelmingly commercial," Google couldn't use them under fair use. Weird.
Now, before its final court case, Google is refreshing its arguments that it has a perfect right to use the Java APIs. This is about far more than just the Java APIs. As Kent Walker, Google's Chief Legal Officer, argued:
Open interfaces between programs are the building blocks of many of the services and products we use today, as well as of technologies we haven't yet imagined. An Oracle win would upend the way the technology industry has always approached the important issue of software interfaces. It would for the first time grant copyright owners a monopoly power to stymie the creation of new implementations and applications. And it would make it harder and costlier for developers and startups to create more products for people to use.
Oracle, of course, has a different take. An Oracle spokesperson said, "While Google would prefer to live in a world unencumbered by intellectual property rights, in the real world copyrights are an essential protection and incentive for innovation. Oracle offers several licensing options for Java. Ethical developers and businesses around the world continue to recognize the value of Java and take advantage of our licenses to drive innovation and profit. Unfortunately, Google opted to ignore standard industry licensing policies and build its business by stealing Oracle's IP."
Ironically enough, Charles Duan, Director of Technology and Innovation Policy at the R Street Institute, a Washington, DC non-profit think tank and Google ally, recently argued that Oracle itself is guilty of copying Amazon's S3 APIs. "In order to be compatible with S3, Oracle's "Amazon S3 Compatibility API" copies numerous elements of Amazon's API, down to the x-amz tags."
This underlines just how important open, copyright-free APIs are. Even Oracle can't work without them. No one who makes modern software can live without open APIs. If Oracle were to win the case, it may well live to regret it.
For the sake of the future of software development, we need SCOTUS, nine people with no programming experience to speak of, to make the right call. We can only hope they will.
The Google v. Oracle case is expected to be heard in March 2020. We may see a decision as early as June.

Variety reports that Sony Pictures has pulled the plug on Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of Moneyball (thanks to Rob Neyer for the link).
Even in the climate of heightened studio caution, the turnaround news on "Moneyball" is surprising given that the project had reached the equivalent of third base. It was just 96 hours before the participants were ready to take the field, following three months of prep and with camera tests completed and cast and budget in place.
…Aside from actors like Pitt and Demetri Martin, Soderbergh is using real ballplayers — such as former A's Scott Hatteberg and David Justice — as actors, and he also has shot interviews with such ballplayers as Beane's former Mets teammates Lenny Dykstra, Mookie Wilson and Darryl Strawberry. Those vignettes would be interspersed in the film.While Soderbergh is confident his take will work visually, Columbia brass had doubts on a film that costs north of $50 million. That is reasonable for a studio-funded pic that includes the discounted salary of a global star like Pitt, but baseball films traditionally don't fare well on the global playing field.
This is a shame but not a surprise. Back in the summer of 2003, I interviewed Michael Lewis and we talked about how difficult it would be to make Moneyball into a movie:
Bronx Banter: Have you sold the movie rights to "Moneyball" yet?
Michael Lewis: I didn't have much hope that anyone would buy them. Because I can't really see how you could make it into a movie—a good movie, anyway. What happens is, if somebody bought it for the movies, you'd have to create some sort of female role. They would just have to. You just have to twist so much. Having seen "Liar's Poker" get bought for a lot of money, and then completely mangled in the creation of the script, and eventually never getting made. If they can't make that, I can't imagine how they can make this. There have been, oddly enough, some feelers from people who say they want to buy the rights. A lot of things sell, that shouldn't sell, accidentally. That might happen, but I'd be really surprised if it ever became a movie.

I really agree with lewis' assessment. The story is too cerebral. And cerebral stories rarely turn into big box office grossers.
What would be interesting is if some indie writer figured out a way to make it on the cheap and release it independantly. Might make a very interesting small movie.

Reaching "the equivalent of third base" and failing?
Why does that sound familiar?

"This ain't football. We do this every day."
--Earl Weaver


The newest Marvel movie is on a record-breaking roll, but here's how "The Avengers" or "Black Panther" could wind up being master of the MCU.
Globally, "Avengers" set another record with $641 million, which jumped to $725.5 million on Monday. It could cross $1 billion by the end of the week — and China doesn't even open until May 11.
As "The Avengers: Infinity War" makes records fall with a snap of its fingers, its biggest challenge is an inside job. The 2012 release of "The Avengers" holds the benchmark at $705.8 million domestic adjusted; which Marvel film — "The Avengers," "Black Panther," or "The Avengers: Infinity War" will come out on top?
For the last month, it's appeared that "Black Panther" would fall just short of "Avengers." But over the weekend, the race became more interesting: Despite losing 15 percent of its theaters, "Black Panther" saw its gross decline just four percent. The eight non-Marvel films in the top 10 dropped 47 percent-75 percent.
That brings "Panther" to $688.4 million, $17.4 million short of "The Avengers." In its 11th week, that normally would be a bridge too far, but on this trajectory it could see another $20 million in its theatrical run, for $708 million. And while "Deadpool 2" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" open this month, with "Panther" at #5 this weekend it could play many top-grossing theaters as long as Memorial Day.
That record-breaking opening weekend makes the idea of "Infinity War" reaching $706 million seem more than plausible, but it still represents a challenge. That 2.7 opening multiple is plausible; "Avengers" had a three-times multiple, while "Age of Ultron" was 2.4 times.
By comparison, "Black Panther" stands at a 3.4 multiple, and "The Force Awakens" at nearly 3.8. However, "Panther" became a cultural phenomenon while "The Force Awakens" was timed to maximize Christmas play time.
The status of "Infinity War" as cultural phenomenon remains to be seen, but it definitely faces "Deadpool 2" (also Marvel) in its third week and "Solo" (also from Disney) the week after. Neither "Black Panther" nor "Force Awakens" had that problem in its first months.
If "Infinity War" performs at "Ultron" levels, it makes $619 million; at "Avengers" levels, $774 million. Of course, there's no guarantee of any level; "Batman vs. Superman" only managed to double its opening. And as a rule, higher openings face a multiples handicap since they accrue so much business at the start.
Clearly, we have a three-film race for the biggest Marvel film of all time. And between "Black Panther" and "Infinity War," adjustments won't be needed.

For too long, the federal government, like many other parts of industry, has been lax in making sure that all workers have a thorough security background check. Hiring skilled information technology professionals requires patience in the hiring process even if you need that person today. I cannot impress upon you enough how "wonderful" a programmer looks on paper compared to what you find when you dig a little deeper.
Everyone knows that the weakest link is behind the security machine. As a former airline employee in HR, I am deeply concerned that federalizing baggage screeners without a lengthy security check would be a grave mistake, as would maintaining contract employees on a government network.


As the cold weather starts to set in, more and more potholes may start to appear on roads – a dreaded issue for both drivers and local councils. New research presented in a scrolling animation reveals just how deep Scotland's pothole problem goes, and it is far worse than it appears on the surface.
A freedom of information request by Confused.com, the driver saving site, reveals a total of 154,310 potholes were reported to the region's councils in 2016 – more than in any other UK region. Each local authority was asked for the minimum depth of a road defect to be considered a pothole, and this figure was aggregated against the total number to reveal a depth of over 6km (6,364m). The animation allows users to visualise the true depth of the region's potholes combined, scrolling passed iconic recorded depths such as the bottom of the English Channel (174m), Loch Ness (230m), and the Mediterranean Sea (5,270m). Users can then scroll all the way passed the Mariana Trench (11km) and the world's deepest man-made hole (12.3km) into the Earth's upper mantle (30km) before arriving at the combined depth of the UK's 1,033,486 potholes. This is over 40 km deep and 3.7 times the depth of the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.
The animation also allows users to drill down to specific local authority areas, and Edinburgh comes out on top for having the deepest pothole problem of the region.
Having this many potholes can be a very costly job for councils, as they fork out for repairs, as well as compensation to victims of damage caused by the craters in the road. In fact, a third of motorists in the UK say their car has been damaged by a pothole.
The total depth of potholes in North Ayrshire is estimated to be 117 metres and we believe that most of those are probably on Arran!!

The truth about food underlying every other approach to diet on the planet! Before there was vegetarianism, veganism, Aryuvedic diets, The Primal Diet, ethnic diets, grain-based diets, and every other man-made approach to eating food there was (and still is) Instinctive Eating. End the confusion around diet once and for all. Find out how our biology is inherently designed to interact with food. Just like every other animal knows how to eat naturally without a diet or recipe book, humans can too!


I have ARFID, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which for me basically means I was terrified eating because I would unintentionally vomit after eating because I was restricting so much that my body couldn't process food (simplified, non-scientific version ). I went into residential treatment and just graduated my Day Program treatment, and am now continuing outpatient. My treatment team thinks I am around my set point, and I didn't restrict because of body image issues.... but after seeing my body at a "restored, healthy" weight, I can't help but to have some major judgement about my body, particularly in my stomach. I just feel and look so bloated all of the time, to the point where I believe I look pregnant. I know the re-feeding process is long and complicated, and fat usually tends to store in the abdominal area first (to protect your organs), but I am just so embarrassed sometimes, especially after I eat. I'm trying to tell myself that this is a process and a journey, nothing is immediate... But I'm beginning to feel super self-conscious and uncomfortable, more than ever.
I'm beginning to worry that maybe I do have body image issues... I know sometimes anorexia and ARFID can go hand-in-hand/is underlying.
I'm not quite sure what I'm asking here, I guess I just need some encouragement and reassurance that my weight will balance out... Thank you!
I agree with the above poster. I know when I was in treatment and some of the girls were gaining weight and reaching that equilibrium they'd make a lot of comments about how 'fat' they were being made too be. However, as time got by they accepted it more and one girl even admitted that she looked good that way.
Gaining weight when you have an Eating Disorder can always be disconcerting. I don't know much about the ED you had but even if weight wasn't a huge factor behind it, it's going to be a shock to put the weight back on.
I would suggest that you talk to your treatment team about it just so you can keep them up to date about how you are feeling.
Maybe you could do something nice for yourself when/if you are feeling low about your body like go getting a pedicure and a manicure. Or, if you are comfortable go get a massage. There are other things you can do as well. If it were me I would go buy a book!
I hope that this helped and I am wishing you the best of luck. If you need anything feel free to message me.

Nuclear factor-κB; Nuclear factor-kappaB
NF-κB (Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) is a protein complex that controls transcription of DNA. NF-κB is found in almost all animal cell types and is involved in cellular responses to stimuli such as stress, cytokines, free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, oxidized LDL, and bacterial or viral antigens. NF-κB plays a key role in regulating the immune response to infection. Incorrect regulation of NF-κB has been linked to cancer, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases, septic shock, viral infection, and improper immune development. NF-κB has also been implicated in processes of synaptic plasticity and memory. There are five proteins in the mammalian NF-κB family: NF-κB1, NF-κB2, RelA, RelB, c-Rel.

NF-κB transcription factors are critical regulators of immunity, stress responses, apoptosis and differentiation. In mammals, there are five members of the transcription factor NF-κB family: RELA (p65), RELB and c-REL, and the precursor proteins NF-κB1 (p105) and NF-κB2 (p100), which are processed into p50 and p52, respectively. NF-κB transcription factors bind as dimers to κB sites in promoters and enhancers of a variety of genes and induce or repress transcription. NF-κB activation occurs via two major signaling pathways: the canonical and the non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways[1].
The canonical NF-κB pathway is triggered by signals from a large variety of immune receptors, such as TNFR, TLR, and IL-1R, which activate TAK1. TAK1 then activates IκB kinase (IKK) complex, composed of catalytic (IKKα and IKKβ) and regulatory (NEMO) subunits, via phosphorylation of IKKβ. Upon stimulation, the IKK complex, largely through IKKβ, phosphorylates members of the inhibitor of κB (IκB) family, such as IκBα and the IκB-like molecule p105, which sequester NF-κB members in the cytoplasm. IκBα associates with dimers of p50 and members of the REL family (RELA or c-REL), whereas p105 associates with p50 or REL (RELA or c-REL). Upon phosphorylation by IKK, IκBα and p105 are degradated in the proteasome, resulting in the nuclear translocation of canonical NF-κB family members, which bind to specific DNA elements, in the form of various dimeric complexes, including RELA-p50, c-REL-p50, and p50-p50. Atypical, IKK-independent pathways of NF-κB induction also provide mechanisms to integrate parallel signaling pathways to increase NF-κB activity, such as hypoxia, UV and genotoxic stress.
The non-canonical NF-κB pathway is induced by certain TNF superfamily members, such as CD40L, BAFF and lymphotoxin-β (LT-β), which stimulates the recruitment of TRAF2, TRAF3, cIAP1/2 to the receptor complex. Activated cIAP mediates K48 ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of TRAF3, resulting in stabilization and accumulation of the NFκB-inducing kinase (NIK). NIK phosphorylates and activates IKKα, which in turn phosphorylates p100, triggering p100 processing, and leading to the generation of p52 and the nuclear translocation of p52 and RELB[2][3].

Club Statement: Paul Glover and John Stubbs Appointed as Directors
Paul Glover and John Stubbs join the Farsley Celtic Board.
Farsley Celtic are delighted to confirm the appointment of Paul Glover and John Stubbs to the Farsley Celtic Board as directors, subject to FA approval.
Paul and John will be familiar faces to supporters at Farsley, with both having long associations with the club.
Paul Glover has been at Farsley for many years and will be recognisable to all as the stadium announcer, whilst he has more recently taken on the role of the groundsman at the Citadel.
John Stubbs is a long-time supporter of the Celts, and this summer led the revival of the Farsley Celtic Supporters Club, purchasing a minibus to provide transport to away games.
The addition of Paul and John to the Farsley Celtic Board will provide fresh and unique insights as we look to progress on and off the pitch.
Chairman Paul Barthorpe said: "Appointing Paul Glover to the board is for me one of the most natural appointments we could have made.
"Paul is Farsley Celtic through and through in every way possible. Having experience as a previous director at the club, his wealth of knowledge about the club and lower league operations, his levels of passion and dedication to the club, alongside his experience as a business owner, really do make him a standout and obvious choice.
"The appointment of John to the board represents a significant shift in the club's mentality in terms of direction and leadership, and for me John adds something that Farsley and indeed most other clubs don't and have never had at a boardroom level.
"John will provide important balance in the decision-making process and his input will have a significant impact on the future development of the club across all aspects.
"He is a very well-respected member of the local community, as he is both on and off the terraces at the club, and he has worked wonders with the supporters club in recent times.
"He brings with him a level of passion, loyalty and dedication to the club that is absolutely unquestionable. John also has significant knowledge of running businesses with a welcome and refreshing level of straight talking and honesty that is incredibly valuable to the club moving forwards."
Welcome aboard, Paul and John!

Learning the anxiety symptoms can be very useful since anxiety can be very debilitating and it is classified as a disease.
In its most extreme case anxiety can show itself as a panic attack. Here, however, we will focus on the general symptoms of anxiety. A lot of the symptoms are the same for stress, so don't be surprised if some sound familiar. The fundamental difference is that anxiety can have a much more sudden and severe effect than stress usually has. Click here to learn the difference between stress and anxiety symptoms.
I encourage anybody who has medical questions to consult with their doctor!
These are just some of the most common symptoms of anxiety that are being experienced. If you are suffering from anxiety, you might recognize some of the symptoms. If you do not recognize any of the symptoms above, but you think you may suffer from anxieties consult your doctor first: Just because you do not see any of the symptoms I list here does not mean that you are "safe" so to speak. Like stress anxiety is an individual thing.
We all have fears, and many of us have anxiety (some even believe we all have several anxieties). It can be very handicapping for anyone.
Do not be too scared though, there are many treatment options and a lot of thing you can do yourself. Click here to see more about the different anxiety treatments.
If you have experienced anxiety and overcome it, I would like to hear from you if you are interested in telling your story on this site.


France lacks both the mean and the will to properly tackle corporate bribery of foreign officials, an OECD panel said on Tuesday, calling on Paris to tighten its laws and hike fines.
With only 33 bribery investigations and five convictions since a bribery ban came into force in 2000, France is failing to net enough offenders given French firms' extensive interests abroad, the group monitoring an OECD anti-bribery pact said.
"The applied and available penalties, along with the lack of any recourse to measures to confiscate the proceeds of corruption do not appear to be effective, proportionate or dissuasive," the group said in a report.
"France should increase the maximum fines and make full use of confiscation and additional penalties that are available under the law, in particular debarment from public procurement," it added.
Thirty-nine countries including most of the industrialised world - but not China and India - have signed a 1997 convention to combat bribery in international business transactions.
The convention was drawn up by the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and signatory nations are monitored by working groups made up of officials from other member countries.
While French authorities have not breached the convention, they frequently interpret what constitutes bribery too narrowly, allowing cases to slip through the cracks, the report said.
It found that French authorities too often did not pursue foreign bribery cases on the grounds that the offences took place outside of French jurisdiction, even though evidence could often be tracked back to France.
The group also said France did not devote enough resources towards tackling foreign bribery by French firms, which it said also explained the lack of success in prosecuting offenders.

Kuerden's History of Lancashire
Manuscript notes in the author's own hand
Dr Richard Kuerden (1623-90?) of Kuerden near Preston, was a staunch loyalist, educated at Oxford and Cambridge. A physician by training, he began the task of compiling material for a history of Lancashire with Christopher Towneley of Carr Hall, near Burnley.
Kuerden and Towneley transcribed family papers, wills, pedigrees and deeds, believing that their work would help 'retrieve the Glory of their Palatine out of the Monumental Ashes' of the Civil War.
The project was frustrated by Towneley's death in 1674 and, although Kuerden issued proposals for publishing a five-volume history of the county, his work and that of Towneley has survived only in manuscript form.
Kuerden's manuscripts, which are written in a virtually illegible hand, contain copies of many items that are now lost and they have been heavily consulted by successive generations of Lancashire historians.
Two of Kuerden's manuscripts are held at Chetham's. This volume was given to the Library in 1704 by the author's family.

Agreements within employment contracts and employee handbooks continue to be subject to strict scrutiny by the NLRB. In a recent decision, the Sixth Circuit enforced an NLRB Order finding multiple NLRA violations for prohibiting employees from engaging in "collective bargaining." The issue should be of interest to all employers given the common misconception that the NLRA only applies to unionized employers.
The NLRA applies to union and non-union employers, with certain exceptions. "Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection…." The Act also states that it "shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer … to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed" by the Act.
In Nat'l Labor Relations Bd. vs. Alternative Entm't, Inc., the court focused on the employer's requirement that employees sign an agreement that all disputes relating to employment would be resolved through arbitration. The agreement also stated that a claim could not be arbitrated as a class action. When an employee complained to management about changes to his compensation structure, he was told not to speak to other employees about the issue. The employee was soon after terminated.
In its decision, the Sixth Circuit upheld the NLRB Order finding NLRA violations for barring employees from pursuing class-action litigation or collective arbitration of work-related claims, for forbidding an employee from discussing a proposed compensation change with coworkers and for firing that employee for discussing the proposed change and complaining to management.
The NLRB Order demanded the employer offer the terminated employee his job back, make him whole for any loss of earnings or benefits, cease and desist from maintaining policies in violation of the NLRA, and to post a written notice to all employees informing the workforce that it violated the NLRA.
The Sixth Circuit joins others, including the Ninth Circuit and Seventh Circuit, in holding arbitration provisions mandating individual arbitration of employment-related clams violate the NLRA. Employers are well advised to revisit the language in their employee handbooks to ensure compliance with the NLRA.

Arriva "strike" - update on 06.12.21
Following a ballot, agreement has been reached between Arriva and the Drivers' Union - in consequence all Arriva connections from other parts of North Wales into the Snowdon Sherpa network included here have reverted to operating normally
Gwynfor have made changes to the Sherpa timetables for Winter 2021-2022 commencing 1st November
Basically the "S2" reverted to a 'one bus' operation similar to last winter, BUT some journeys run slightly EARLIER than during the summer. However the "S4" and "S97" services have been re-cast (still making limited connections at Pen-y-Pass), whilst the "S1" and "S6" services have again been "suspended" for the winter..........
.........see below for the latest known information also updated other pages on this website
In view of the late official information - at one time Operators were legally required to give at least 56 days notice of any change - ANY PAGE ON THIS WEBSITE DATED BEFORE 29th OCTOBER SHOUD BE REGARDED AS "STILL TO BE FULLY UPDATED"
Please bookmark this page NOW to see if any further information has been made public - using the date below as a quick guide to check if this page has been amended since your last visit
from the North Wales coast to the mountains of Snowdonia
WINTER WEEKDAY TRIPS from LLANDUDNO, CONWY and
Llew Jones "T19" fast connections
along the east side of the Conwy Valley
along the west side of the Conwy Valley
Llew Jones "19" slow connections
via the
Conwy Valley
and Betws-y-Coed
larger buses may operate on
some journeys at busy times
"S2" Betws-y-Coed - Llanberis
Gwynfor Sherpa - all year
"S97" Pen-y-Pass - Porthmadog
- via Beddgelert (for "S4" to Caernarfon)
B E W A R E ....................... !!!
Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found
The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the
Snowdon Sherpa Bus network
REMEMBER..........
Due to so many last-minute changes to the various services in the area, unfortunately many official websites (including the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner") continue to show journeys which have either been "CHANGED" or sometimes even "WITHDRAWN"
Where known, these are also included below as a warning - to help avoid you being caught out !!!
Please bookmark and revisit nearer the time to check if there have been any further known changes since your last visit to this page
Journeys shown on this website with a "strike through" line are still operating, BUT it is NO LONGER possible to get a (bus) connection back to the start location of the page - eg
Thrughout Snowdonia there are unfortunately numerous cases of "sub-standard" connections which are NOT recognised by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner" (as they are less than 5 minutes) - eg
Although this website strongly advises you NOT to 'chance' them..........
..........they are included to draw your attention to the fact that if everything is 'spot on time' and you are "very quick" - it can sometimes get you to your destination considerably earlier
This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available..... and to encourage greater use of the network
also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
Snowdon Sherpa
Mondays to Saturdays - 1st November 2021 until further notice
except Public Holidays Christmas Monday 27th December, Christmas Tuesday 28th December and New Year Monday 3rd January

* - whilst in theory it is just possible to catch the earlier 1715 "T19" journey from Betws-y-Coed
- as it is less than 5 minutes, it is NOT recognised as a connection by the TravelineCymru "Journey Planner"..........but if everything is spot on time and you are quick, it will get you to Llanrwst or Llandudno VERY much earlier
All it needs is the 1650 ex-Blaenau Ffestiniog to depart Betws-y-Coed slightly later (as it did until Saturday 29th August 2020)
..........unfortunately as this IS NOW THE LAST JOURNEY OF THE DAY - it is PROBABLY THE WORST EXAMPLE
of 'FAILED' INTEGRATED TIMETABLE PLANNING IN SNOWDONIA
(if you miss it, your ONLY OPTION NOW IS TO CATCH THE 1802 TRAIN at Betws-y-Coed (SOME TICKETS MAY NOT BE VALID) AS THE ARE NO LONGER ANY LATER CONWY VALLEY BUSES !!!!!
- if this causes you inconvenience or additional costs, write/phone/email the operator (Llew Jones - 01492 640 320),
Conwy CC and/or TrawsCymru and ask them to retime the 1715 "T19" journey slightly later to RELIABLY connect

Wrestling Observer Flashback–03.07.94
November 23, 2017 November 23, 2017 by Scott Keith
So with the year in PPV finally caught up, let us venture back to the world of 1994 again, with rumors of Hulk Hogan jumping to WCW heating up. But first, we finally close the book on Jerry Lawler…
– On 2/23, Jerry Lawler settled his case in the pre-trial hearing, accepting a deal where he plead guilty to witness harassment in return for all other charges being dropped. Lawler was assured that he wouldn't have to serve any prison time, and he was sentenced to 12 months suspended sentence and two years of probation. If Lawler doesn't break any laws during the five years following the deal, the conviction will be expunged from his record. (Well, luckily there's no law against drinking too much Diet Coke and having sex with underage girls. Er, hold on…)
– The rather pedestrian ending to the case is a stark contrast to the wacky series of twists and turns that characterized the saga. Lawler went on TV that week and thanked everyone involved (without mentioning the charges he plead guilty to) and said he didn't hold ill will towards anyone involved. Privately, however, he wasn't so nice towards the prosecutors, accusing them of proceeding with the case only because he's a local celebrity and they wanted to make an example out of him.
– Although the WWF has maintained all along that Lawler would be brought back once the legal issues were cleared up, with a rumored appearance at Wrestlemania X as Owen's manager, no contract has been signed yet, and in fact he might not go back due to the long travel days.
– The WWF may have accidentally leaked the main event finish of Wrestlemania, based on a TV taping on 2/22 where Luger stole the WWF title belt from Jim Cornette in an interview segment that wasn't taped, and then came out wearing the belt for an interview segment that WAS taped, to be aired the week after Wrestlemania. However, it could be a swerve, with Bret Hart winning the title instead, although history has shown that every other time they'd done this kind of thing, it wasn't a swerve. (Holy shitballs, how come that didn't make the Unreleased DVD? That's the kind of awesome sauce I would have loved to see! Also, it was of course totally a swerve.)
– Over to Japan, where Antonio Inoki announced his retirement on 2/24 at Budokan Hall. He'll have 5 to 7 more matches, counting down to his final retirement match on 01.04.95 at the Tokyo Dome. (You'll pardon me if I'm skeptical about the veracity of this retirement.) He announced that he wanted matches with everyone from Hulk Hogan to George Foreman before his retirement kicked in. Dave says don't hold your breath.
– Meanwhile, Satoru Sayama decided to un-retire, announcing that he would have his first match since 1985 against Masashi Aoyagi sometime in October. However, he also announced that it wouldn't be a pro wrestling match, it would be a SHOOT.
– Jim Ross's WWF contract won't be renewed when it expires in March, which is something of a surprise on one hand but completely not a surprise in any fashion on the other hand. JR was never really a good fit in Titan, plus the whole Bell's Palsy thing. For the moment, announce teams will be Vince & Johnny Polo on Superstars, plus Gorilla & Stan Lane on Challenge. The sticking point is believed to be that Vince wanted Ross to become more of a comedic character, who would wear a black cowboy hat and become "Good Ol' JR" as a play on JR Ewing. (Jesus, can you even IMAGINE Jim Ross going along with that silliness?)
– The timing of the move is odd, since Vince is under indictment and they're desperately in need of people to be announcers. And while WCW is also in need of announcers, Ross has made too many enemies, most notably the duo of Tony Schiavone and Jesse Ventura, to be seriously considered for another run there. So his future in the wrestling business is probably bleak.
– Speaking of Ventura, he decided to take an ill-timed vacation to Hawaii just after Bobby Heenan arrived, and Bobby essentially won Ventura's job while Jesse was gone.
– Back to Japan, where the crazy story of the UWFI and their "16 man tournament" grandstand challenge to Maeda got crazier, with Maeda actually ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE. Not only did Maeda come out and say he'd be happy to enter the tournament, he offered to send 9 of his top guys from RINGS to be a part of it. So on the UWFI show after the challenge, Takada got on the mic and clarified that they didn't want some kind of 9 v. 9 team series, and really he wanted a one-on-one match with Maeda in the first round of the tournament on 4/3 to settle things for good. Dave thinks that if this is an angle, it's a hell of an angle. (Well, Maeda was definitely not in the tournament, so who knows.)
– The lineup for the second "Ultimate Fight PPV" was announced for 3/11, with another one-night single elimination tournament. It'll once again feature Ken Shamrock and be filmed in Denver, CO, with the winner getting $60,000. This time around, groin shots are LEGAL.
– The World Wrestling Network finally ran its first TV taping after months of delays, at the Manhattan Center on 2/28. The taping was largely "mediocre", aside from a main event between Terry Funk and Sabu that was described as "incredible" and ended in a double countout at 18:21, rated at ****3/4. (C'mon now, was it Dave Scherer who sent in that rating?) The show drew 390 people, seemingly all hardcore newsletter fans. The promotion had tons of problems with the state commission and no advertising, and there's no plan about where the tapes will actually be shown. The show was largely squash matches featuring ECW talent, and Kevin "The Convict" Wacholz. (Was that gimmick REALLY such a cash cow that he needed to desperately cling to it through multiple names and promotions?) Dave is also amazed that whenever a new promotion comes into New York looking to run opposition to Vince, the athletic commission finds all kinds of problems with the show and undiscovered medical issues that never seem to plague Vince. Sabu broke two tables during his match with Funk and smashed a bottle on the ringpost, sending glass flying everywhere, which was a bit of a dangerous situation. Dave just hopes that Sabu saves his money before the inevitable happens and his time runs out. (Which he did not, but I guess that's why Kickstarter was invented.)
– Seiji Sakaguchi held a press conference and announced that the winner of the 4/16 "All Star Juniors" tournament would be given the WWF junior heavyweight championship belt and would be the "Super Junior Cup champion". (Sort of how the J Crown started, I guess.)
– Also in Japan, there's some guy named Rio Lord of the Jungle working for FMW, who appears to be the same person as Jungle Jim Steele in WCW, and Dave's skeptical that there's actually TWO Ultimate Warrior lookalikes who wear "Fred Flintstone ring wear". (And yet, here we are. Rio is of course the future Renegade, even more ironically.)
– On the 2/28 show in Memphis, JC Ice faces former partner Wolfie D in a "Boys in the hood" match where the winner gets to spraypaint the loser. (As if people getting spraypainted will ever get over.)
– The THRILLSEEKERS debut for SMW on 3/7, and the first video for them aired this weekend and was "said to be one of the greatest wrestling music videos ever done."
– Darryl Van Horn got the funniest line of the week on SMW TV while complaining about the unfair treatment of his man Prince Kharis, saying that they should change the name of the promotion to the PTL Club because "it's the Jim and Tammy Show every week."
– Also, Prince Kharis, who does a mummy gimmick, was listed in the most recent Japanese Super Catalogue as being 3000 years old under "age". Dave thinks it's hilarious because everyone is so amazed that Baba can still work, and he's only 56!
– Victor Quinones, the booker of W*ING in Japan, launched his own promotion there with a marathon taping for a new promotion called IWA, which was naturally taped in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (Oh god, I'm gonna have to bust out the chalkboard meme again, aren't I?)
– Oh hey, how do you know we're reading a newsletter from 1994? The new promotion Oregon did a gimmick where someone used a "Nancy Kerrigan stick" on someone else's knee for the finish, with the guy laying in the ring yelling "WHY? WHY? WHY?" Even in 1994 Dave is sick of hearing about Nancy Kerrigan. (I'm assuming he's not going to see the new movie about it, then.)
– Ric Flair was officially made head of the booking committee and immediately turned himself heel in preparation for the feud with Hulk Hogan.
– WCW, the company that most recently drew 690 people to the Omni for a loaded show, is already planning on a 50 city tour of the Flair-Hogan feud, leading to a blowoff at Starrcade in the 65,000 seat Georgia Dome. (Yeah, good luck there.)
– WCW is also teasing that Flair will defend the title on the 5/22 Slamboree PPV against a "6-7, 300 pound blond former World champion", which would seem to narrow the choices down to Sid Vicious and Barry Windham, but Sid isn't under consideration and Barry doesn't want to do it.
– WCW also redesigned the WCW Saturday Night set at Center Stage and debuted "Wildcat Willie", the WCW mascot. They also taped the famous Rude-Sting contract angle that people were talking about in last week's Observer.
– WCW was trying to get Mr. Perfect, but his WWF contract doesn't expire until December so it turned out that there was very little they could actually do.
– The Earthquake v. Ludvig Borga match scheduled for Wrestlemania has been changed to Quake v. Adam Bomb because Borga isn't coming back from his ankle injury any time soon.
– And finally, Bill DeMott (Crash the Terminator) got a tryout and lost to John Paul both nights of the tapings, not getting much of a reaction. Indy guy Rocko Gibraltar, doing some kind of "garbage man gimmick", looked terrible, but had a hot-looking finisher that was a tilt-a-whirl powerslam. (So DeMott can add "lost a job to Duke Droese" to his resume.)

NXT – November 22, 2017


Clint Johnson has written a book that works on many levels. This is a concise biography of Jefferson Davis. This is a look at the last days of the Civil War and early Reconstruction. This is a history of the flight of the CSA Government from Richmond and the capture of Jefferson Davis. This is a history of a government trying to solve a problem, what do with an unwanted prisoner. All of this is tied together with and intelligent lively writing style that is easy and fun to read.
The author looks at all of this from a Southern Reconciliation Tradition giving the reader a new perspective to often missing in this type of book. The author never strays into Lost Cause Tradition staying firmly grounded in very solid history. This is an important item as this subject is a minefield. In lesser hands, this could easily be a Lost Cause rant or mindless mumbling. What we have is a detailed account of Davis from the fall of Richmond to his release from imprisonment. This is not the United States Government at its' best. The book contains a good legal discussion of the issue of treason vs. rebellion, civil vs. military courts and what might happen if the government lost this case. This can be a lot to understand but the presentation is clear and the issues understandable.
My problem with this book is footnotes. Only quotations are footnoted and the source listed at the end of the book. The reader is forced to determine which of several quotations they are looking for as page number is the only reference. This is a real problem considering the issues discussed. In about ten pages, covering Lincoln's views on Reconstruction there are no footnotes. Many of the discussions in Johnson's Cabinet meetings have the same problem. With proper detailed notes, this would be a five-star history that should be in every Civil War library. Without them, this informative entertaining read presents a number of things that need to be investigated.
I just finished reading American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House and it had the same style footnotes. I've never seen them before and I hope this isn't a trend.
Thanks James. I saw this in a bookstore not too long ago and couldn't decide on it so I didn't pick it up. Sounds good but I think I'd have to agree with you about the notes issues. Sounds tough to deal with.
The author told me his publisher forced this style of "footnotes". My understanding is it is cheaper and the publishers don't care if it upsets us.
If you check the history section in a chain books store, this "style" is common. I have commented on this in a number of reviews. Some authors are very agressive in defending this style or their book, pick one.

How Art Thou Wrong, Ms. Northup? Let Me Count the Ways
Jan 19, 2010Michael Green
In my recent letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal, I responded to Ann Northup, a commissioner of the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), who wrote a misleading editorial in The Journal, opposing new federal legislation that protects children from lead in toys and other consumer products.
Why would a government official charged with protecting people from hazardous consumer products rail against legislation that improves her agency's ability power to do just that? I'd be speculating if I answered, so I'll mention what seems clear: Northup (one of two Republican Commissioners at CPSC) seems less interested in children's health than in perpetuating myths, falsehoods, and half-truths about the new rules.
Wrong Once
Northup claims that the law makes it impossible for companies to produce many common children's products. "This means such ordinary items as zippers, buttons, belts, the hinge on a child's dresser—and even that bicycle from Santa Claus—are outlawed," she says.
SPOILER ALERT #1: Santa Claus doesn't make bicycles; factory workers in China do.
SPOILER ALERT #2: The law doesn't "outlaw" zippers, hinges, and other components of kids' products; it simply requires that they be made without lead. Is Northup really suggesting that it's impossible to make buttons without lead? It's not.
Wrong Twice
Under the new law, strict lead limits for toys and other children's products are mandatory for the first time. The law also increases CPSC's authority to stop the import of hazardous children's products, and it bans the resale of recalled products. Instead of applauding these prudent new protections for children's health, Northup wants to weaken the law and lower the age range of children protected by it, suggesting that, because lead is more dangerous to younger children, older kids don't need legal protection.
Lead exposure is harmful at any age, and since lead accumulates in our bodies, eliminating early exposures is an important way to minimize later risks. Recent studies show that adults exposed to low doses of lead over time have impaired mental abilities and have more problems with high blood pressure, kidney problems and other health woes. Lead also poses a heightened threat to young women and their babies. One recent study showed that women with higher blood-lead levels have higher rates of miscarriages, and other studies have found a significant decline in the IQ of children of women with higher blood-lead levels.
Wrong Three Times
Most worrisome, Northup incorrectly claims people can not absorb lead from materials other than paint. Wrong again.
For more on this, see the 2007 Consumer Reports article about two Minnesota children with elevated blood-lead levels. Researchers traced this lead directly to numerous lead-contaminated household items the children played and interacted with, including a vinyl diaper bag, toys, and several other children's products. Which is to say, Ms. Northup, that the lead in these products can, in fact, be absorbed by people.
The Minnesota family is hardly unique. In fact, other lead sources such as toys, household products, and other consumer items are responsible for approximately thirty percent of elevated blood-lead levels in kids. While paint in older homes remains the primary source of lead exposure to children, it is just one of many materials that poses a lead threat to kids.
Wrong Four and Five Times
Northup complains that certain brass pieces on toy cars are needlessly subject to the new lead laws. She claims that lead in "substrate" metals – the metal base below a plated or coated surface – is not "bioavailable" and thus cannot harm children. She also says that tests showed that the brass exposes children to "less lead than the Food and Drug Administration allows in a piece of candy." There are two items to correct here.
First, coating lead does not make it safe. Jarnell Brown, a four-year-old Minneapolis boy, swallowed a metal charm and died from lead poisoning in 1996. What killed Jarnell? Substrate lead that was entirely coated. The fact is that plating is neither durable nor effective at encapsulating lead.
Second, when Northup compares regulations on substrate lead to those on lead in candy, she either misunderstands the science or consciously attempts to confuse people. The FDA standard on lead in candy regulates the total amount of lead in the product – that is, how many units of lead a child would ingest along with the candy. But the brass test that upsets Northup doesn't actually measure the amount of lead in the brass; it only measures how much lead comes off in a laboratory wipe test. (Finally, I've gotten around to discussing the meaning of brass wiping.)
But that's where the jokes end. A child sucking on the brass or swallowing it could actually ingest a much higher, potentially lethal, dose of lead. Northup's comparison is an apples-to-oranges shell game that obscures serious risks to children from unneeded lead in toys.
Fortunately, Ms. Northup didn't write the new federal law, which cuts through phony arguments about "absorption" and "bioavailability." Northup waxes nostalgic for the good ole days when convenience and profits trumped children's health, and she urges Congress to return to lead standards that were based on a reckless question: how much lead is it ok to dose our children with?
The new federal lead rules require manufacturers to answer a more precautionary question: how can we eliminate unnecessary lead in products for children? The new law is a strong and long-overdue health standard, and it is based on the scientific consensus that, where children are concerned, we should eliminate every possible lead threat. Conveniently, it is also the standard that parents demand when they buy products for their children.
Far too many children suffered lead exposures while waiting for the new law. But after years of fighting, we finally have strong federal regulations protecting our kids from lead.
If only the leaders of the agency empowered to protect kids from lead agreed their job was important.

US employers added modest 113,000 jobs in Jan.; unemployment falls to 5-year low of 6.6 pct.
WASHINGTON – Hiring was surprisingly weak in January for the second straight month, likely renewing concern that the U.S. economy might be slowing after a strong finish last year.
The Labor Department says employers added 113,000 jobs, less than the average monthly gain of 194,000 in 2013. This follows December's tepid increase of just 75,000. Job gains have averaged only 154,000 the past three months, down from 201,000 in the preceding three months.
Still, more people began looking for work in January, and some of the jobless were hired, reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent. That's the lowest since October 2008.
Cold weather likely held back hiring in December, economists said, but the impact faded in January. Construction firms, which sometimes stop work in bad weather, added 48,000 jobs last month.
