"We've always wanted a boat, so when Geoff took early retirement, we said, "Why not!" rather than let the money sit in a bank.
I would definitely recommend it - I'm so glad we did it! We bought our boat last November and haven't regretted it, not for a minute. Well, ok, apart from perhaps when we had that downfall the other week and were in a lock getting drenched. It was torrential!
When we were looking for a boat to buy we saw this Aqualine narrowboat at New & Used Boats. It was seven years old, but its last owner had mostly kept it static in a mooring so its engine was still like brand new when we bought it. For us this boat is exactly what we wanted. It's been designed as a reverse layout with the bedroom at the front and kitchen at the back, which is great because Geoff can talk to me as he's driving along. Once you've had your first boat, you learn what you want most from the boat design. If we could buy a boat now, knowing more about the practicalities of boating, I don't think we'd change anything apart from perhaps having a longer bow with a bit more room to sit.
There was the excitement of finding the right boat for us, then there was the first journey. We set off in July and we're just pottering round the Four Counties Ring... starting off at Stourport, on to Anderton then to the Peak District and Macclesfield. We moor overnight and move on most days, except for weekends. We've been on the go since seven this morning so we're going to stay here for a bit and do a bit of fishing.
It's a really sociable way of life on the canals, and because the boat is so close to home everyone wants to come and visit, even friends from work. My sister visited last week, and the week before Geoff's brother visited us and we're having our grandchildren here tomorrow. They're six and eight and absolutely love coming to a boat to see their grandparents!
I'm really enjoying our first summer on our own boat. Since about 2000 we did holidays on hire boats, and loved it. But then we found ourselves cycling down the canal every weekend just to look at the boats...so that's when we thought, "We've got to get one!""

Are Lionfish Hunts Making It Harder to Kill Them?
Costa Rica, Montserrat, St. Eustatius . . .
Luggage fees: the bane of the traveling diver. You may be the best bargain hunter when it comes to scoring airfare deals to Indonesia, but if you don't know how to cut down on dive gear, photo equipment and personal items, your savings will be eaten up in excess baggage costs. These days, finding an affordable flight to a dive destination is only half the battle. We asked our Undercurrent contributors -- heavy-duty travelers -- as well as our readers for their tips on saving money and shedding weight to hedge the cost of flying.
When checking in for the domestic part of your trip on a major carrier like United, Delta or American Airlines, you probably know the drill: $25 for the first checked bag, $35 for the second checked bag and 50 pounds maximum for each one bag. If you're flying overseas and taking a second bag, the rates can range from $40 to $100. If you want to take a third bag, no problem, but expect to pay between $100 and $200 to check it. But did you know that some airlines, both domestic and international, now have a maximum weight for your carry-on bag? According to Ken Kurtis, owner of the dive shop Reef Seekers in Beverly Hills, CA, who routinely leads dive trips worldwide, "if your plan was to pack all the heavy stuff into your carry-on and stow it above your seat, you may be in for a rude awakening when you check in and your carry- on suddenly becomes your $100 third checked bag. Some airlines have a buried-in-the-fine-print weight limitation on your personal bag as well, which may be as low as 20 pounds."
One easy -- though not necessarily cost-effective -- way to get around that is to fly first or business class. "Many airlines allow customers riding up front a weight allowance of 70 pounds per bag, and they check up to three bags at no charge," says Kurtis. Dan Shepherd (Clifton Hill, MO) is a believer. "I've done about everything that can be done to cut bag weight but now, I always check the business-class fares, as sometimes they're cheaper or just a few dollars more than paying extra bag fees. You get the perks of businessclass check-in and short security lines, and after a long flight, you are one of the first off the plane and don't have to stand in line at immigration for hours.
If you want to use miles to convert to a first or business class ticket, you can do so starting 330 days before your desired flight leaves, but Gary Luff, who writes the blog A View from the Wing, says you don't have to book on that exact day. "The best availability tends to be between six and nine months out. Two months out is tough -- the seats that open up early are long gone." Still, keep checking. Some seats may become available later, though often at higher mileage costs.
If you don't want to buy a first-class ticket for a Caribbean dive trip, the long-term saving option is to join the rewards program of the airlines you regularly travel with. You can get, say, a Delta Visa card or United MasterCard that will give your first bag checked for free, advance boarding privileges, and accelerate your level of status faster. Henry Schwarzberg (Mobile, AL) uses an American Express Platinum card (the annual fee is $450), "because it provides up to $200 in reimbursement for excess baggage fees." The card earns miles on Delta and several international airlines. Many airline-branded credit cards offer baggage deals, so it's worth looking into these if you want more benefits for your long-haul dive trips.
If you're changing airlines while in transit on a dive trip, the weight limits for the first airline might not be the same as the second, so you may need to pack based on the more restrictive weights. That's a common occurrence in Indonesia, where its domestic carriers often have strict luggage limits, plus separate allowances for sports equipment. Fly Garuda Indonesia, says underwater photographer and Undercurrent contributor Maurine Shimlock. "Garuda allows 66 pounds per person."
What Dive Gear Should You Schlep?
You may decide to skip the 5-mm wetsuit if you're going to the Caribbean in July, but otherwise, readers have different opinions on what gear to bring on an overseas flights. Some go to great expense -- maybe a couple grand -- to switch from their perfectly serviceable gear to new lightweight gear, so hopefully they make enough dive trips to amortize the cost. Take Joel Snyder (Tucson, AZ), for example, who tired of schlepping 35 pounds of dive equipment. "My first move was to switch to the Scubapro Titanium regulator -- this saves more than a pound if you don't have a DIN regulator. Add an integrated octopus into the inflator (dropping a hose and a heavier regulator) and an air-integrated computer, and you're five pounds lighter. Miflex or similar hoses help lighten the load. I also traded in the heavy Scubapro fins for Force Fins. They're lighter, smaller and have more than enough power. In my 'save a dive' kit, no individual tools. Multitools, yes. Dives lights are similarly optimized: I swapped out a 4D light for a 3C LED light, and got more light and a longer burn time. My wife and I use two REI duffel bags, adding up to 50 pounds for the both of us, including neoprene. I have not given up any safety or compromised the gear in any way."
vest. "She got away with it."
Jim Reilly (Lafayette Hill, PA) focused on lightening his BC. "First I replaced my comfortable, thickly-padded BC harness with a DIR-style rigging made from a single belt of material. It digs into my shoulders above water, but I don't notice it underwater. I replaced the chrome belt buckle with one of high-impact plastic. I also eliminated the neat-looking but unused D rings, leaving only those absolutely needed for diving. I also replaced my BC bladder with a smaller, lighter one and replaced my stainless-steel backplate with one of aluminum. Overall, I saved about five pounds."
John Woolley (Olympia, WA) uses a regulator bag as his all-purpose shoulder bag. "It will hold my regulator, prescription mask, dive computer, I-Pad, camera, and passport. Because it is my 'personal item,' it escapes eagle-eyed airline employees who have started weighing carry-on bags. It also guarantees that the most important dive items stay at my side."
Why not just rent it all, says regular Undercurrent contributor Bret Gilliam. "Many excellent resorts and liveaboards offer complete equipment packages for a low rental cost, or they include it in your trip fee. The Damai liveaboard in Indonesia includes all gear, wetsuits and even dive computers in their fare. All you need to do is show up with a carry-on bag with your lightweight tropical clothes."
Kurtis also favors renting gear, except he brings his dive computer and hoods. "You're already used to your own computer, and you know how it displays and looks. I also bring two hoods for a variety of water temperatures."
But if you want to bring your own trustworthy dive gear, there's no reason to fret about the cost, says Shimlock. "People need to not freak out about paying overweight fees in foreign locations, especially if they keep their luggage weight reasonable. When you add up daily rental fees for complete sets of gear, it could well be more than the overweight baggage fee you pay. When I purchase domestic tickets for dive photo trips, I tell my guests that it includes X amount of overweight, and that the charge for extra gear is X. We also check in as groups, which spreads the luggage weight to a per-person average. Some people come with just a carry-on, others with 100 pounds of luggage, but it usually evens out, and often there is no extra charge for anyone."
Or you can get creative in getting your dive gear on without paying for it. Fred Turoff (Philadelphia, PA) says, "Back in the days of carting around rolls of film and batteries, I bought a many-pocketed vest to load with heavy stuff to wear on planes. I've never been asked to get on a scale before boarding, so this allowed me to take items that otherwise would have produced an overweight-luggage charge."
While on a puddle-jumper on the last leg to Sorong for a Raja Ampat trip, Bill Gleason (Kentfield, CA) saw a woman boarding the plane wearing her BC as a travel vest. "She got away with it." Next month: What clothes you really need to pack (and not), and paring down your photography gear.

MONTREAL -- For Montreal Canadiens and their rabid fans, its seventh heaven. In a fight for their playoff lives, the Montreal club pulled off a convincing 4-0 win against the Boston Bruins on Monday night to force a seventh and deciding game in their Stanley Cup playoff semifinal series. To hear their fanbase, a do-or-die Game 6 win against their hated rivals from Boston was never in doubt. "Incredible! The Habs are the best, did you see that win?," yelled Andrew Giannakis, breathlessly, as he emerged from the arena. "They scored the first goal and the rest is history." As with Monday night, Montreal is faced with a must-win situation in 48 hours if it wants to continue being the only Canadian team in the NHL playoffs this year. Some, likes Charles Mondon, can feel the playoff fever in the air. "I dont think there is no better place to cheer for hockey than Montreal," said Mondon, sporting a Max Pacioretty jersey as he smoked a cigarette outside the arena. "No disrespect to the rest of Canada ... here in Montreal, we bleed hockey, we breath hockey, we eat hockey, we sleep hockey." Mondon predicts a close contest on Wednesday night -- a three-goal game that could really go either way. "To be honest with you, Game 7 against Boston for round two is the best feeling in the world," Mondon said. "I think were going to beat them." Montreal and Boston is considered one of the greatest rivalry in sports, and that battle is playing out again this post-season. The Canadiens and Bruins have met a whopping 34 times in the NHL playoffs, with the Canadiens having won 24 of those series. Things have been different in recent years -- the Bruins have taken the last two series in 2009 and 2011. But fans are hoping for a reversal of fortunes, like Devon Pattemore of Yorkton, Sask., a lifelong Habs fan who finds herself in Montreal for a conference during a playoff run. Sporting a well-worn Saku Koivu jersey, she came out to watch the third period outside the Bell Centre with a few hundred other fans who peered into a restaurants giant screen from outside the eatery. "Theyre just a faster team and I just believe in them," said Pattemore, predicting a Montreal Game 7 victory. "On Wednesday night well be at a pub (in town) watching." The last time the Canadiens beat the Bruins in the playoffs was in 2008 and it was largely overshadowed by what happened once the game was done. A thrilling, emotionally charged seventh game win ended with smashed windows, tear gas and arrests. Police cars were set ablaze and stores looted when a festive celebration turned ugly. But in a city known for its hockey-related rioting, security has not been an issue so far in these playoffs. There was a heavy police presence downtown on Monday night, but few revellers made it up to the downtown core. Clusters of officers were gathered at every street corner and in front of storefronts that might be susceptible to looting. Security guards hired by some businesses milled about and there were no large gatherings on a crisp May evening. And by the end of the night, Montreal police reported no major incidents. Nicolas Otamendi Argentina Jersey . Ferguson told Uniteds in-house TV channel on Saturday that he has no immediate plans to walk away from the game, and that he still hungers for more trophies even after 25 years in charge of the club. Lionel Messi Argentina Jersey . The midfielder had an operation on Saturday, and is set to miss seven Premier League games, the third round of the FA Cup and the semifinals of the League Cup. http://www.argentinasoccerauthentic.com/Manuel-Lanzini-Copa-America-Jersey/ . Lowry and the Raptors officially announced a four-year US$48 million dollar deal Thursday. The deal was reported last week but couldnt be made official until Thursday, when the moratorium on signings was lifted. "They were real factors. I did my homework. Sergio Aguero Argentina Jersey . -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are disappointed, though not discouraged. Maximiliano Meza Jersey .Dawson also birdied two of the last four holes to reach 12-under 132 on TPC San Antonios AT&T Canyons Course. He won his only title in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event in 2002 in the Web.com Tours LaSalle Bank Open.Im not going to lose any sleep, believe me, Dawson said. I used to be a perfectionist, but my attitude now is to play like Im in the pro-am.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Kole Calhoun homered and drove in three runs, Albert Pujols also went deep and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 8-4 Friday night. Jered Weaver (7-4) won for the sixth time in eight starts, allowing two runs, five hits and four walks in six innings. His teammates staked him to a 7-1 lead through four. The All-Star right-hander, pitching at home for the first time since his two-hit, 2-1 victory against Houston on May 21, struck out nine and improved to 8-2 with a 1.70 ERA in 11 starts against the White Sox. Angels sidearming righty Joe Smith hit Alejandro De Aza and Adrian Nieto with consecutive pitches in the eighth, and nearly plunked Adam Eaton with his next offering before retiring him on a soft line drive to first with the bases loaded. Pujols capped the Angels scoring in the bottom half with his 15th homer and the 507th of his career. Adam Dunn capped his three-hit night with a two-run homer off Ernesto Frieri, his 10th this season and the 450th of his career. Andre Rienzo (4-3) lost his third straight start, throwing 72 pitches over 3 2-3 innings and giving up seven runs on nine hits. Over the previous 15 games, White Sox starters had a combined ERA of 2.03 -- including a 5-2 loss to the Dodgers in which all five runs against Jose Quintana were unearned. Chicago, starting its third straight series in Southern California after losing two of three to San Diego and winning two of three from the Dodgers, slipped 3 1/2 games behind AL Central-leading Detroit. After this series, the White Sox return home for a four-game showdown with the Tigers. Calhoun got the Angels off and running with the second leadoff homer of his career, driving Rienzos third pitch of the game to right-centre. Mike Trout followed with a single, stole secoond and scored on a double by Josh Hamilton that ended his drought of 27 at-bats without an RBI against White Sox pitching.dddddddddddd De Aza got Chicago on the board in the third, leading off the inning with his fifth home run and first in 33 games since his two-run shot off Tampa Bays Jake Odorizzi on April 28. The White Sox loaded the bases with a single by Nieto and two walks, but Weaver minimized the damage by slipping a called third strike past Dunn. The Angels increased the margin to 7-1 with five more runs in the third. C.J. Cron hit a two-run double inside first base, Hank Conger snapped an 0-for-18 drought with an RBI single and Calhoun added a two-run double inside first base. White Sox rookie sensation Jose Abreu ended up with a gift double in the second when his high fly fell in short right-centre between Trout, Calhoun and second baseman Grant Green. But Weaver struck out Dunn and Alexei Ramirez before retiring Dayan Viciedo on a fly ball. Dunn drove in Chicagos second run with a fifth-inning single. NOTES: White Sox LHP Chris Sale and Angels LHP C.J. Wilson will miss each other by one day because of the way the rotations shake out for this series. In Wilsons last two starts against Chicago, both coming six days apart in May last season, Sale beat him 3-0 both times -- including a one-hitter at U.S. Cellular Field. ... Weaver fanned Abreu in the fifth for his 1,300th strikeout in the regular season. ... The Angels are 32-20 when Calhoun plays, and 0-7 when he doesnt. ... Hamilton played in his 900th regular-season game in the majors and his fourth since coming off the disabled list. ... Weaver has allowed a home run in five consecutive starts, one shy of his career-worst stretch, when he gave up at least one in each of his final six outings of 2012. ' ' '

Proceed down Clay Street from the Pedego Electric Bikes of Edwardsville store, one block, to Randal Street. Turn left onto Randal about a half mile to Rose. Go left on Rose, one block, to St Louis Street (Poag Road). Turn right on to St Louis Street and follow the bike lane to University Drive. Cross St Louis Street and pick up the Delyte Morris Trail to SIUE. Once you are on the trail you will pass by numerous great photo opportunities including Cougar Lake.
The Delyte Morris Trail passes through the largest university campus in the US. Watch for the sign to the Gardens at SIUE on the left as you head toward the center of campus. There are numerous access trails leading up to the campus buildings. Allow plenty of time to ride around campus and a stop at the Student Union Building where you will find a Starbucks and other eateries.
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to cruise through the university and become familiar with one of the prettiest university campuses in the country. Return to the trail and continue through the woods. Stay left at the junction with Bluff Trail about one half mile down a gradual sloping ride to the bottom of the bluff.
Bluff Trail crosses Bluff Road just past the SIUE Sports Complex. Before you cross Bluff Road you will see a Log Cabin up on the hill to your left. There is a Porta-Potty on the south end of the parking lot just off Bluff Road at the access to the Stadium.
Continue South on Bluff Trail to the intersection with the Nature Trail across from St Paul's UCC Church. This trail veers right toward Pontoon Beach and Granite City. You will cross University Drive (divided highway) twice and take up the Nature Trail back toward Edwardsville. There are Porta-Potties at the trail junction and about halfway back to Edwardsville.
The Nature Trail gets a little bumpy due to tree root growth so proceed with caution. It is also a gentle climb from Bluff Road to the intersection with Goshen Trail.
You are now back in Edwardsville where you may want to grab a sandwich or a pizza at Peels or Mike Shannon's before continuing on your final leg back to your starting point. If so, go under SR 159 and take the Nickel Plate Trail on the left out of the tunnel, about an eighth of a mile to the path that leads out to the sidewalk. There is no cross walk here so we suggest you dismount and walk your bikes across the street to the strip mall where the eateries are located.
Return to the trail intersection and follow the Goshen Trail to the left and back into the woods.
You will come to SR 157 where you can leave the bike path before you go under the road and climb the hill up to street level. If you follow SR 157 you will see the new Route 66 Monument on the right just before Schwartz Street and the old Edwardsville High School, now Lincoln Middle School, on the left. Follow Schwartz to Covington and Covington to St Louis Street where you will see Pedego Electric Bikes.
Alternatively, follow Goshen Trail to the intersection with the Watershed Trail. Turn right onto the Watershed Trail and follow it until it ends. Turn right about 50 feet then left onto Clay Street. FollowClay to St Louis Street and you will be back where you started.
Go right at the Doll House Antique shop (red building). The Watershed Trail begins about 50 feet on the left.
Turn left at the intersection with The Goshen Trail. You can also take a right here and go up to the bridge over the creek for a great view of the water below. Then turn around and head back to the Goshen Trail past the intersection with the Watershed Trail.
The Goshen Trail passes under Poag Road (St Louis Street) and SR 157. There is access to the bike lane and sidewalks on both sides of SR 157. The shell station at the corner of SR 157 and Schwartz is a good place for a break. Notice the new Route 66 Marker on the corner across from the old Edwardsville High School. The American Legion Golf Course is across from the Grade School and is another good place for a break.
Mike Shannon's and Peel's Pizza make good lunch stops. This will involve going under SR 159 to negotiate your way back to the restaurants via the Nickel Plate Trail. In about an eighth of a mile, take the paved path that leads to the wide sidewalk .Carefully walk your bikes across the road to the strip mall.
Continue on the Goshen Trail until you cross over the Heritage Trail below you and break out of the woods. You will see a trail intersection on your left. The access to the Heritage Trail loops to the left and joins the Glen Carbon Heritage Trail and the trail head parking lot. If you continued on the Goshen Trail, you eventually pass under Interstate 270. The trail ends at SR 162 near Troy. There is no Bike Lane on SR 162. Turn left onto the Heritage Trail and head toward Glen Carbon.
Things to see and do: Wooden Nickel restaurant just up Glen Carbon Road; Miners Park and the Red Caboose; Honor Roll Park Military Memorial on the North Side of Glen Carbon Road and theYanda Log Cabin. Don't miss the Glen Carbon Heritage Museum and the new Glen Carbon Centennial Library. There are restrooms in Miners Park and at the parking lot at the intersection of the two trails.
After your stopover in Glen Carbon, head toward Edwardsville on the Nickel Plate Trail to the intersection with the Goshen Trail.
Take the Goshen Trail to your left (before you go under SR 159) and head back to your starting point. When you come to the intersection with the Watershed Trail turn right and follow it until it ends. Our store is at Clay and St Louis Street.
If you are too exhausted to go the additional 30 minutes, you can exit the path at SR 157 and take the sidewalk or bike lane along SR 157 up to St Louis Street (2nd stoplight), turn right and proceed two blocks to Pedego Electric Bikes of Edwardsville on the left.
Proceed down Clay Street from the Pedego Electric Bikes of Edwardsville store, one block, to Randal Street. Turn left onto Randal about a half mile to Rose. Go left on Rose, one block, to St Louis Street (Poag Road). Turn right on to St Louis Street and follow the bike lane to Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Total Distance is approximately 6 miles. To avoid this stretch of road, we can deliver your bikes to the interpretive Center to begin your ride.
Begin your ride with a visit to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. At approximately this location, The Lewis & Clark Party started their exploration of the Northwest territory and quest to find a navigable route to the Pacific Ocean. There are many exhibits and displays including a cutaway full scale model of their boat on display. Take advantage of the restrooms located just inside the entrance.
The Confluence Trail starts at the picnic grove just east of the entrance to the interpretive center. In about one half mile you will see the entrance to the Lewis & Clark Observation Platform where you can climb to the top for a spectacular view of the surrounding area and view of the Mississippi and Missouri River confluence.
The trail follows the Mississippi River which turns West at SR 140. Continue about 6 miles to the entrance to the Great River Museum and the Melvin Price Lock and Dam. Don't miss the opportunity to climb the path to the roof of the Museum which is accessed from the south east side of the museum, for a great view of the river and the Locks. The main part of the museum is at the locks building about a quarter mile on up the road from the new portion of the museum. Take a walk out onto the observation deck of the locks to see the barges as they pass up and down the river.
The Confluence Trail ends at Russell Commons Park. You can continue on by following the road where the trail ends about 100 feet where the trail heads up the hill and winds its way to the newWaterfront Park, the Argosy Casino, and crosses over SR 140 via a green iron bridge (bike friendly) into downtown Alton. From here you can access myriad antique shops and restaurants.
Keep in mind that while in Alton, you are approximately 10 miles or about 1 hour (plus) from the Lewis & Clarke Interpretive Center. If you are riding all the back to Edwardsville, you should allow a little over two hours fro your return.

The University of Breslau awarded Brahms an honorary degree in 1880 and he reciprocated by writing an overture. Brahms conducted the piece at the University on January 4, 1881. The overture includes student drinking songs and retains the gay atmosphere of college life. Heard are: Wir hatten gebauet em stattliches Haus (We have built a stately house), played by the brass choir; Der Landesvater (The Land Father), given out by the violins in the orchestral version; Was kommt dort von der Hoh (What comes from afar) by the woodwinds and strings, and, finally the magnificent Gaudeamus igitur (Wherefore let us rejoice), by the whole ensemble.
- Program note by University of Houston Moores School of Music Wind Ensemble
Academic Festival Overture (Akademische Festouvertüre), Op. 80, by Johannes Brahms, was one of a pair of contrasting concert overtures -- the other being the Tragic Overture, Op. 81. Brahms composed the work during the summer of 1880 as a tribute to the University of Breslau, which had notified him that it would award him an honorary doctorate in philosophy.
Initially, Brahms had contented himself with sending a simple handwritten note of acknowledgment to the university, since he loathed the public fanfare of celebrity. However, the conductor Bernard Scholz, who had nominated him for the degree, convinced him that protocol required him to make a grander gesture of gratitude. The university expected nothing less than a musical offering from the composer. "Compose a fine symphony for us!" he wrote to Brahms. "But well orchestrated, old boy, not too uniformly thick!" Brahms, who was known to be an ironic joker, filled his quota by creating a "very boisterous potpourri of student drinking songs à la Suppé" in an intricately designed structure made to appear loose and episodic, thus drawing on the "academic" for both his sources and their treatment.

Sen. Duckworth visits mastectomy boutique
Updated Thu October 10, 2019
CHICAGO - Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., met with breast cancer survivors during a visit to the Second Act Mastectomy Boutique here. Duckworth is the lead sponsor of the Breast Cancer Patient Equity Act, S. 562, a bill that would expand Medicare coverage to include custom breast prostheses for women recovering from mastectomy surgery. During the event, Duckworth heard from several breast cancer survivors, some of whom have had access to custom prostheses through private payers but have been denied access by Veterans Affairs, Medicare or other private payers that follow Medicare guidelines. "This was a wonderful opportunity for Sen. Duckworth to hear directly from constituents on the importance and impact of passing this legislation for breast cancer survivors," said Nikki Jensen, vice president of Essentially Woman, who attended the event. S. 562, introduced in February, has four co-sponsors; a companion bill in the House of Representatives, H.R. 1370, has 34 co-sponsors.

Valdera has long standing experience in working with marble, always using only premium quality marbles and stones selected from the best quarries. Valdera was established by Luciano and Silvano Lenzi in 1970 and has now expanded to include the input of the next generation and collaboration with Italian designers such as Giogio Soressi.
High quality marble, artisan workmanship and Italian design combine to realize unique products which never go out of fashion. Valdera's tables are realized entirely from design to packaging in Valdera's factory in the Tuscany hills between Pisa and Florence. The factory is only a few kilometres from two of the most important Italian quarries, Carrara and Siena. As each stone is different, being a natural product with colour and patterning variations each item is unique. The simplicity of form and design of these original pieces lets the inherent beauty of the marble take centre stage and honours the wisdom and skill of generations of Italian craftsmanship.
If you have any special requirements please enquire in store as custom orders may be possible.

Dog owners are being reminded that under regulations in force since March 2016, all dogs over 12 weeks of age must be microchipped and registered on an approved database.
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed TD issued the call to dog owners and also urged anyone thinking of giving a puppy or a dog as a Christmas present to buy or adopt from a reputable source, and to make themselves fully aware of the significant commitment, including financial, that becoming a pet owner represents. Seeing a pup in its home environment with its mother is a good way to verify this.
He said that the microchipping regulations impose obligations on both buyers and sellers. "I understand this is a significant change in the way people are accustomed to buying and dealing in animals. However, these rules are vital to enable early reunification of lost dogs with owners, protect the welfare of dogs and to protect animals against sheep worrying".
Creed also reminded parents thinking of buying a dog as a pet for Christmas to give careful consideration to the future care of the animal. "A number of animal welfare groups have recommended that people do not buy puppies as Christmas presents at all. However, if you are going to do so, please buy or adopt from a reputable source. A reputable dog breeder will have ensured that pups they sell are correctly microchipped and vaccinated and have the right paperwork. These procedures provide reassurance that the dog has probably been raised in proper conditions. There is no such reassurance where dogs are bought illegally and of unknown provenance".
"If you are thinking of getting a dog this Christmas, make sure you are fully aware of what is involved in caring for it, including the financial commitment.

Grant and Sinatra

The Grant Colyer Files
A life of Music
Grant is a man of many talents and guises. A chance remark a few months ago led me to discover a past life of his.
"I have always felt I could play the saxophone."
This single clue coupled with a lounge that features Brooklyn Bridge, a large Frank Sinatra portrait and a memorable photograph of Grant in his Frank Sinatra singing gear caused me to reevaluate those band members surrounding Frank.
https://www.ravenecho.com/static/383/4cd88c81a82f3a54e40a73ef9bd6e32a.jpg
The Tommy Dorsey Band was arguably the greatest of those working with Frank in his long career.

Very quickly after some hit and miss searching I homed in on pure gold data. The complete band with names attached!

As we now know overlaps can occur in linear time especially as consciousness is a quantum phenomenon and we can exist in multiple lives through time. Typically we have found that as we end one life we are already beginning a new life in a continuum of crossover.
Grant is a powerful conscious being and capable of existing simultaneously in more than one physical body. He maintains that he remembers being shot by the Nazis as a Jew in WW2. This could well have been a parallel life.

The new self-isolation rules in Wales and what you have to do to come out of isolation
The Welsh Government cabinet met on Thursday and announced that people who test positive will now be able to end their isolation early if they produce negative lateral flow tests
Ruth MosalskiPolitical Editor
Rules around self-isolation in Wales are changing (Image: Matthew Horwood)
Wales' rules around self-isolation if you've tested positive for Covid are changing from today.
From Friday, December 31, the length of time people in Wales have to self-isolate if they test positive for Covid will change with the 10-day isolation period cut to seven if a person has a negative lateral flow on days six and seven. You can read more about that here.
That brings Wales into line with England and it is hoped it will ease pressures on the health service and businesses who are reporting high numbers of staff absences as people self-isolate.
Read more: Huge increase in number of people in hospital with Covid in Wales
What do I have to do to end my isolation?
If you test positive for Covid you need to self-isolate for seven days.
On days six and seven of that self-isolation period you should take lateral flow tests 24 hours apart.
If these tests are positive you should continue to self-isolate. If they are negative you can end your isolation.
Speaking on Thursday about plans to change the isolation period First Minister Mark Drakeford said: "The health minister published a written statement on December 23 about reducing the self-isolation period from 10 to seven days, on the basis of two negative lateral flow tests taken on days six and seven, from January 5. We will introduce this change tomorrow (December 31).
"This means people who have tested positive for Covid-19 must self isolate for seven days. On days six and seven of their self-isolation period they should take lateral flow tests and if these tests – taken 24 hours apart – are positive they should continue to self-isolate.
"We are bringing the change forward because the balance of harms has changed and the rising number of cases risks our ability to deliver critical services."
Are any other rules changing?
All other rules for Wales are remaining the same and Wales will remain at alert level two until the next review takes place. That is due to happen on Friday, January 7.
It means that restrictions on groups of people meeting indoors and outdoors remain – as does the ban on nightclubs opening meaning they will stay closed for New Year's Eve. Rules about sporting fixtures, including the cancellation of events like parkrun, remain in place.
Concern remains about the impact high coronavirus cases numbers is having in Wales, particularly on the health service. Figures on December 30, showed the latest seven-day infection rate across Wales, based on the week up to December 25, has risen to 1,092.5 cases per 100,000 population – the highest figure at any stage of the pandemic.
Mr Drakeford said on Thursday: "Today a review has taken place of the public health situation over the Christmas period. It has deteriorated in the last week as the Omicron wave has arrived. We have seen a marked rise in cases of coronavirus – the majority are likely to be caused by the Omicron variant.
"This is similar to the position in the rest of the UK. Over the last few days record numbers of infections have been identified and the overall seven-day case rate has risen to more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 people across Wales.
"Cases are highest among 20- to 29-year-olds and 30- to 39-year-olds. We are also starting to see the cases rates increase in the older age groups. Hospitalisations remain lower than in previous waves but these too are starting to increase.
"The overall Covid-19 bed occupancy has grown by a third over the Christmas period. This is a combination of both Omicron and Delta cases.
"The number of confirmed Covid-19 patients in hospital has also increased to 446 on December 29. This is 49% higher than the same day last week. We have not seen a rise in the number of Covid-19 patients needing critical care."
Why you shouldn't share pictures of your lateral flow test online
The First Minister again urged people to get vaccinated. "The concentrated attention on vaccination has also led to increases in the number of people coming forward for first and second vaccinations in December. It is never too late to be vaccinated in Wales.
"I want to place on record my thanks to all those who have given up their time this Christmas to help protect others and to all those people in every part of Wales who have made coming forward for vaccination their priority too. If you have not yet had your booster please make it a priority. It is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself against this awful virus."
He also said that Wales has a "significant stock of lateral flow tests, sufficient to meet our needs over the weeks ahead".
The full list of rules in place for Wales
A limit of up to 50 outdoor and 30 indoor spectators can attend community sports events
Social distancing of 2m is required in offices and all public premises but people must work from home if possible
A maximum of six people can meet in public premises
Licensed premises have to take additional reasonable measures to protect customers and staff
A maximum of 30 people can attend indoor events and a maximum of 50 people at outdoor events
People attending weddings or civil partnership receptions or wakes should take a lateral flow test before attending
Nightclubs are to close
The rules are different to the rules across the UK. The UK Government has already said its rules will stay in place until the new year while on Wednesday Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Omicron variant was now responsible for 80% of Covid-19 cases there as she warned the spread of the strain is "developing rapidly".
However the First Minister confirmed she will not introduce tougher restrictions at this stage saying the situation in Scotland's hospitals was "broadly stable".
In Northern Ireland rules are that there must be table service only in bars and restaurants, 2m social distancing in offices, and guidance on household gatherings.

Alamo Drafthouse Offering Private Theater Rental During Pandemic
Photo By Author
As we continue to explore what a new "normal" (if that even exists anymore) looks like in the moviegoing industry, Alamo Drafhouse Cinema offers a tempting proposition. For only $150, you can rent out one of their auditoriums for a screening of your choice, for up to 30 guests. You'll be able to pick from 40 different titles, which range from family-friendly animated adventures to beloved classics to big-budget blockbusters. The program is called "Your Own Private Alamo," which launched this week on Alamo Drafthouse's website.
It should also be noted that while the rental costs $150, there's also a minimum $150 food and beverage purchase. But then again, if you have 30 guests, odds are some of them will be hungry. Especially since Alamo Drafthouse is known for its gourmet menu and extensive list of craft beers. Guests will also need to purchase their own tickets and select their seats, which they can do online. Of course, it's up to you to decide what they will be watching. Selected titles include Jaws, Jurassic Park, Casablanca, The Breakfast Club, Trolls, and many more. The full list of available movies is listed on the program's homepage.
There is one catch, however: "Your Own Private Alamo" is currently only available at two locations: Austin, TX and Denver, CO. If you live in one of these places, lucky you! While Cinemark has begun offering a similar deal in select locations, this private screening setup is still far from normal. As thousands of theaters remain shuttered across the country, however, opportunities like this allow cinemas to bring in some type of income. And something is better than nothing.

It's hard to believe that everyone in my house is now potty trained, sleeping through the night, and eating regular food. The past eight years were a whirlwind, but we reached the light at the end of the tunnel and things are getting easier in some ways.
On to the party! Popsicles are Molly's most favorite sweet treat in the world so it was no surprise that she'd choose a popsicle theme for her birthday party this year.
I started with this printable package I found from Cupcake Wishes Store on Etsy. It was exactly what I was looking for and the colors the perfect coral, peach and yellow.
It was the perfect afternoon for a backyard party, with the exception of the 15 minute rain shower we got as the guests were arriving but it passed over quickly and the kids barely noticed.
We had 16 kids attend and they all enjoyed an afternoon of popsicle fun. We ate popsicles, played pin the popsicle on the stick, made popsicle crafts, and hit a popsicle shaped pinata. Molly had a fantastic time and was very happy with her popsicle birthday party.
I set up a long kids' table on the patio and decorated with pink, yellow and orange. I made the runner for the table using colored popsicle sticks.
Have you heard of kinetic sand? If not, you should get some! It is sand that has a soft texture but never dries out and does not make a mess. It is fun for the kids to play with. I used two boxes of it to create the centerpiece. I found the sand at Michael's Crafts.
For the place settings, I taped a sign from the printable collection under a clear plastic plate to create personalized party ware. And wrapped a napkin and a water bottle with a strip of striped paper to add a little color to it. I only served finger foods, so utensils were not necessary.
Each guest sat in a chair which I personalized with their name and printable sign from the printable collection.
This is the treat table. The banner was made using popsicle sticks which I covered with Washi Tape, paper printables from Cupcake Wishes Store on Etsy, and ribbon. I glued popsicle sticks into a star shape for either side of the banner.
Molly wanted cupcakes instead of a cake so I made strawberry flavored cupcakes from a box with white icing. Did you know Mike and Ike's look like popsicles if you stick a toothpick in them? So cute and so easy!
Can't have a popsicle party without popsicles, so I put them on ice just before the guests arrived.
Carrie Budke of AngelCakes made the popsicle shaped cookies. They came out super cute.
I always like something healthy on the table, so I opted for watermelon which I cut into triangles and put them on a popsicle stick. An instant watermelon popsicle- I bet they would be great frozen too.
I was short one table, so at the last-minute, I decided to bring a bookshelf outside and used it to hold the party favors and a drink station as well. It worked out really well. I used the sand bucket to hold the ice and served regular and pink lemonade in these beverage containers that I recently found at Kohl's. I love them! This station was a hit with the kids. They got a kick out of filling their own drinks.
For party favors, each guest got a personalized favor box with a popsicle mold to make their own popsicles, a popsicle bubble necklace and a freezer pop sleeve from Metal Mom Boutique on Etsy and a bundle of Freezer Pops.
I set up a little seating area for parents who stuck around with some "Poptails" and treats for them to enjoy as well. A poptail is a little Prosecco or Champagne poured over a popsicle. Yum!
Decorating my yard is a challenge. We don't have any place to hang things from, so I borrowed this idea I saw on Pinterest…pool noodles and wood strips make cute little popsicles. I stuck these around the yard and in the garden.
The kids each got a little bag to collect pinata treats. The pinata got busted open after two hits but at least Molly was able to get a shot at it.
For the Pin the Popsicle on the Stick game I personalized a paper popsicle for each guest and simply glued popsicle sticks on the striped paper. At first it served as a nice backdrop and decoration for the party.
Then all the kids were blindfolded and had to try to stick their popsicle onto one of the sticks. Many were able to land on or close to a stick.
In addition to the games, I had popsicle crafts set up on a craft table. They were able to decorate popsicle stick frames, foam popsicle magnets, and popsicle scratch art.
I think the best part of the party is when they all sat around together eating popsicles.
All in all it was a beautiful day and beautiful party for a beautiful four-year old. I'm glad I can make her party theme dreams come true. Happy Birthday, my sweet Molly. Mommy loves you!
I'm interested in your decorations for parties, my daughters birthday is few months from now and i want to know more about your decorations. Can you please get back at me, thank you.

Look at a guitar speaker's frequency response chart and you'll see three commonly accepted ranges: lows from 20 to 200 Hz, mids from 200 Hz to 2 kHz and highs from 2 kHz to 20 kHz. With respect to these divisions, the fundamental guitar frequencies are all low to mid range; however, the sound we hear from each note we play also consists of harmonic frequencies in addition to the fundamental. To get an idea of what the fundamental would sound like on its own, just play a note ...
Answered by Annamarie Volkman on Mon, Mar 22, 2021 1:07 PM
Boosting in the 3kHz to 4kHz range brings out harmonics, pick noise and transients, but be careful, the ear is most sensitive in this frequency range, so a little bit of boost goes a long way. When you need a guitar to cut through a mix or live performance setup, boosting this range will help.

Acoustic Guitar Frequency Range The acoustic guitar's tone spans the frequency spectrum more brilliantly than most instruments. Its fundamental frequencies mostly sit in the 100-500 Hz range, but its sound extends all the way upwards to 15k-20k Hz, especially when it is strummed with a pick.

The main purpose of guitars in a band are to provide the mid-range frequencies, so it's very rare that you should have this setting on low.

La Liga 20/21 Predictions
Valladolid vs Barcelona Prediction: La Liga Match on 22.12.2020
Barcelona will be hoping for a stronger showing in the second half of the season in La Liga, as they come into this pre-Christmas fixture against Valladolid in fifth place.
Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction: DFB-Pokal Match on 22.12.2020
La Liga Preview
There has been a resurgence from Barcelona over recent weeks, but they will still face a challenge if they are to finish at the top of the league this season. Barcelona are currently eight points off the top of the league, but have been showing good form over their last three games. The Catalonian giants have won two of their previous three games, but were unable to make it three wins on the bounce in their last fixture. Barcelona were held at the weekend by Valencia. Lionel Messi equalised for the home side on that occasion, before Ronald Araujo put Barcelona in front. The league didn't last for long, as Valencia managed to get themselves level with 20 minutes remaining. Barcelona dominated the ball in that game, and would have been bitterly disappointed that they didn't claim the three points that their performance warranted.
Valladolid find themselves at the opposite end of the table, as they are fighting for every point that they can get. Their form certainly hasn't been underwhelming over recent weeks, as they have lost just once in six outings. Valladolid remain in the bottom three on goal difference, and have won three of their previous six. They are also unbeaten in two La Liga outings, as they have won once and drawn once. The Spanish side were held in their last game, as they scored late to claim a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. Raul Garcia scored the late equaliser against their Champions League-chasing opponents on Saturday night.
Valladolid vs Barcelona Head To Head
Valladolid have beaten Barcelona on just one occasion in 15 attempts. That win came back in their home fixture in the 2013-14 season. Since that victory, Barcelona have won the last four games against their opponents. Barcelona have kept clean sheets in three of those four wins. The last meeting saw Barcelona run out 1-0 winners.
Valladolid vs Barcelona Prediction
Valladolid have proven to be a tough team to beat in their last six matches, but this will be a completely different challenge for them this weekend. Barcelona should have the quality to get the three points on the road.

UPSOUND, cheering and chanting (English) "Bernie's back"
FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus125376
Basking in loud chants of "Bernie's back," Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders resumed campaigning weeks after being sidelined by a heart attack and told supporters he was ready to resume "the epic struggle" for the White House.
Energized by thousands of backers gathered for a Queens rally, the 78-year-old Vermont senator said, "When I look at this huge crowd, brothers and sisters, I have no doubt that the political revolution is going to sweep this country, sweep (US President) Donald Trump out of office and bring the change that this country has long needed."
He said he was "more ready than ever to carry on with you the epic struggle that we face today. I am more than ready to assume the office of president of the United States."
To raucous applause, he declared: "I am back."
It was the start of what he is calling a "vigorous" return to campaigning as he tries to give his stagnant bid an instant shot of energy.
Among those who introduced Sanders from the stage was New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders' latest high-profile endorsement.
Sanders had emergency heart surgery this month but insists that he's more committed than ever to the 2020 race.
With the first voting contests less than four months away, he has some work to do.

Google to investigate missing photo of Churchill
Jun 15, 2020, 5:00 am SGT
https://str.sg/JPv8
LONDON • Google yesterday said it would look into the disappearance of World War II British leader Winston Churchill's photo from a top search results list of the country's former prime ministers, amid controversy over his record on racism.
The search giant said the removal of Churchill's photo from its horizontal list atop search results for former British premiers was due to an automatic update and "not purposeful", but apologised "for any concern". It noted that the issue applied only to its so-called "knowledge graph" listing and that many images of Churchill were still easily found on its search engine.
"We're aware an image for Sir Winston Churchill is missing from his knowledge graph entry on Google," the firm's search liaison arm said on Twitter.
"We apologise for any concern. This was not purposeful & will be resolved. Images in such panels are automatically created & updated. During an update, they can briefly disappear."
The statement added that the photo would be restored to the list as rapidly as possible.
"We'll want to explore exactly why an automatic update caused it to disappear & see if there are any improvements in those systems to address."
However, the change provoked a swift backlash on social media. "Mind blowing if this is deliberate policy, @Google," said Conservative lawmaker Simon Clarke. "Western Europe would almost certainly be enslaved if it wasn't for the man whose photo is now absent."
Britain's WWII prime minister became engulfed in controversy after a Black Lives Matter protest in central London last weekend led to his statue being defaced with the word "racist".
The vandalism was widely condemned but Churchill critics also argue he was consistently bigoted and discriminatory to non-whites during his lengthy political career.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who wrote a biography of Churchill, has called his targeting "absurd and shameful" and said anti-racism protests have been "hijacked by extremists".
Thousands of self-styled "patriots", backed by far-right groups, assembled in central London last Saturday vowing to guard statues and memorials there.

Latest figures from the Garden Centre Association (GCA) show an almost 7% increase in sales for December, leaving the year in positive territory.
Top categories were restaurants, farm shops and outdoor plants, which were up 17.73% compared to the previous year.
Food hall and farm shop sales were up 9.9%, clothing was up 4.44% and catering sales were up 11%.
Christmas sales were up 6.54%. Gift sales were also up 2.39% compared to the previous year.
GCA chief executive Iain Wylie said: "In a month where Christmas and gift sales tend to dominate the categories, it was really interesting to see that outdoor plant sales came out on top instead.
"Of course, it was all down to the Great British weather as we enjoyed a much milder festive season than usual, so people were able to spend longer sorting out their plots and preparing for the new season.

Q: How does g++ find the Standard libraries So I'm currently trying to compile something with a newer version of g++ (4.7) than the version of CentOS 6.5.
I'm running supports through yum. I've got a 4.7 g++ binary ready to go, and switched the linking so that /usr/bin/g++ links to the binary I want.
This has been working, but now g++ can't find any of the c++ standard libraries (for instance <algorithm> and <iostream>).
I was wondering how g++ loads these libraries / where these libraries are kept so I can figure out how to get them to properly import!
Thanks!

A: If you have multiple installations of GCC you can direct the gcc|g++ frontend (/usr/bin/{gcc|g++})
to use the tools, headers and libraries of any of them by means
of the -Bprefix
option, where prefix is an installation prefix.
For example, I have GCC 4.9.3 installed (per distro) with prefix:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9.3

and also have GCC 5.2.1 installed (also per distro) with prefix:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.2.1

If I invoke:
gcc -B/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9.3...

then I'm using the 4.9 tools, headers and libraries. If I invoke:
gcc -B/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.2.1...

then I'm using the 5.2 tools, headers and libraries. If I omit
-Bprefix then I get my latest installation (5.2).
