Are you wondering what you might see during Las Vegas to Death Valley tours ? Here is a virtual tour - an itinerary plan in pictures of some points of interest in Death Valley you may visit (weather permitting). Please note that the actual tour may vary from provider to provider and may include only some of these Death Valley attractions.
Not far from the Scotty's Castle, there is an interesting place known as Ubehebe Crater, that you will visit during a Death Valley tour.
This Ubehebe Crater appeared as a result of a powerful volcano eruption - so strong that the volcano itself was destroyed. Although the crater is over 2,000 years old, it's considered young and therefore it's not yet covered with grass and bushes.
The Devil's Golf Course is an area that you might explore during Death Valley tours. This is a large plateau covered with dry salt crystals that grow upwards and create weird sounds that you can hear when the air stands still.
The Racetrack Playa is the most mysterious place in Death Valley - it's a flat, level plain of clay, around which are scattered so-called "sailing stones" that apparently move all by themselves, leaving prominent furrows, or tracks. Hundreds of stones of all sizes, from very tiny to huge ones, move in different directions. Sometimes the stones move alone, sometimes in groups.
Scientists have been trying to explain this phenomenon, but years of research did not help to solve this mystery!
Another interesting stop during Death Valley tours from Las Vegas is the ghost town of Rhyolite. During Gold Rush, the small town was home to some 16 thousand people - gold miners and service providers who came here in hopes to get rich. Rhyolite developed very quickly in 1905, but declined almost just as quickly. When the main gold ore was exhausted, people started abandoning the town and in 1920 it was already empty.
Close to the ghost town of Rhyolite, you will see a Goldwell Open Air Museum, created by Albert Szukalski, a sculptor from Belgium. This is a museum of sculptures of ghosts, just in the spirit of an abandoned ghost town.
Another likely stop during Las Vegas to Death Valley tours would be Furance Creek Ranch, where you will visit a small open air Borax Museum. Although the museum is small, it has some interesting historical artifacts such as wagons, carriages, and an old train.
One of the highlights of Las Vegas to Death Valley tours, Scotty's Castle is a small oasis in the middle of a desert. The Castle, also known as the Death Valley Ranch, attracts visitors with it's Spanish-style architecture and beautiful green gardens.
Scotty's Castle was built in the 1930 and is an engineering wonder, considering the times. It was equipped with a climate controlling system, electricity, water, and had a refrigerator storage. Inside the castle you will find Spanish carpets and curtains, Italian porcelain, Belgian lace and other riches.
Due to flood in October 2015, Scotty's Castle is closed. The castle has a very interesting history that you will learn during Death Valley tours. But to give you an idea - its history is connected with two people.
The first was the actual owner of the house Albert Johnson, a financial magnate from Chicago who built the castle for himself and his wife Bessie. The second was an adventurous entertainer and story-teller Walter Scott, or Death Valley Scotty, who lured Albert Johnson into Death Valley with lies about a gold mine that he supposedly found.
While there was no gold, Albert Johnson found something else in there - good health, and decided to move there permanently. And Johnson was actually amused and didn't mind a bit Scotty's stories that the castle is being built on the money he received from finding a gold mine, that Scotty told everyone around. Eventually, these two very different became friends and lived happily ever after together with Bessie in the castle.

In 2016, Samsung Electronics’ “UP TO 3742- Top of the Ridge” exhibition used Samsung Galaxy mobile devices to capture the stunning beauty of Taiwanese mountain ridges and to present them to gallery visitors. In 2018, Samsung Taiwan has continued to honor its commitment to the protecting the environment by enlisting corporate volunteers to combat erosion at Hehuan North Peak. Volunteers each carried 1kg of rock and soil to repair paths by hand, creating eco trails and raising awareness of environmental sustainability. Samsung Electronics Taiwan has also officially launched a two-year maintenance program for mountain trails in the Hehuan North Peak area.
Hehuan North Peak is ranked as one of Taiwan’s most beautiful mountains and is considered a “friendly” entry-level peak. The breathtaking scenery can be seen from winding mountain paths which pass through groves of arrow bamboo. Due to high tourist numbers, the canopy has sustained severe damage, resulting in serious erosion to the hiking trails.
Starting May 2018, Samsung Electronics Taiwan began to implement the two-year “Hehuan North Peak Trail Adoption Agreement” with the Taroko National Park Management Office. In addition to the joint promotion of environmental education activities, every two months Samsung Electronics Taiwan will send volunteers on a six-day visit to repair and maintain the hiking trails at Hehuan North Peak, clean the area around the “Little Valley” campsite, and inspect and report facility damage.
Each step of the trail takes roughly one hour to repair. Suitable stone and mud are collected locally and transported to the construction site on foot. The stone has to be chiseled and combined with mud to build edged paths that will help combat water damage and soil erosion, taking into account the direction of the slope to provide appropriate drainage for the repaired trail surface. As every aspect of the repair project is intricately connected, Samsung Electronics Taiwan’s employees underwent pre-trip training and complete altitude acclimatization, making sure they were effective in their volunteer activities.
The original story, in Chinese, is available at Samsung Newsroom Taiwan.

Amazing! I have a picture of you and I on my wall and another of Sandy and I. Sometimes I look at it and wish for that year back. I learned so much about God and friendship and music. :) I loved your post. My kids love to sing so maybe il get my husbands guitar out today and play some :) I gave mine away thinking those days were done.
Great times we had...i think part of it that helped was that we had limited outside worldly influence. Like movies or tv. Or unlimited internet. We were "forced" to be wise with our time.
Anyway...the camera i use is one matthew bought for me 2 Christmas' ago. Its a canon eos rebel t3. I love it so much! Oh and i always edit with picasa.
this is Sandy but it says I am Shane...lol. Yes. This has also been on my mind since I started listening to Steve Pettit again. I always listened to it the summer before college. It caused my thoughts to be on the Lord. When I look back, that summer and the first year of college was when I was closest to the Lord. I really think that was because of how often I was playing my guitar and singing to the Lord. And like Mrs said, back then I didn't have as many distractions like I do now. It's so easy to waste an hour on the internet when before that wasn't an option. I am glad you posted this because I want to start making changes like this in my life.
Also, I know you all live across the country now, but I will be in PA in the summer. Maybe we can have another worship session?

A drinking life isn’t a happy life. Drinking cuts you off from other people and from God. One of the worst things about drinking is the loneliness. And one of the best things about A.A. is the fellowship. Drinking cuts you off from other people, at least from the people who really matter to you, your family, your co-workers, and your real friends. No matter how much you love them, you build up a wall between you and them by your drinking. You’re cut off from any real companionship with them. As a result, you’re terribly lonely. Have I got rid of my loneliness?
I will sometimes go aside into a quiet place of retreat with God. In that place, I will find restoration and healing and power. I will plan quiet times now and then, times when I will commune with God and arise rested and refreshed to carry on the work which God has given me to do. I know that God will never give me a load greater than I can bear. It is in serenity and peace that all true success lies.
I pray that I may strengthen my inner life so that I may find serenity. I pray that my soul may be restored in quietness and peace.
“…a Power greater than ourselves….” “God as we understood Him.” These words introduce spirituality in the Twelve Steps. They are the first two references to God, and they are worded that way for a reason.
Today, I will respect other people’s understanding of God, as well as my own. I will not allow others’ judgment of my beliefs to cause me anxiety and distress. I will seek to grow spiritually in recovery, with or without the assistance of a particular religion or denomination.
Man can live his truth, his deepest truth, but cannot speak it.
Your warm generosity and consistent support are enough to melt even an icy heart today. Simultaneously, keep your vanity under control and your popularity rating goes through the roof. There’s no need to come on strong to demonstrate your power or importance. Others will observe your compassionate leadership by virtue of the thoughtful and useful actions you take. Be at one with the best possibilities of any given moment. When your heart is open, your aura naturally shines as bright as sunshine on snow.

"Investigation of Postglacial Sediment Storage and Transport in Garnet " by Lisa M. Tranel, Amber Ritchie et al.
The Teton Mountains are shaped by interactions between glacial, fluvial and mass wasting processes. In this study we investigate the influence of process interactions on quantitative estimates of erosion rates based on sediment transport and accumulation. Sediment characteristics were measured on talus fan and stream channel deposits. These observations were used to evaluate weathering and rounding, which can indicate transport history and mixing between the two deposits and processes. Talus fans were studied to quantify the stability of fan surfaces and determine the frequency of material transport. Streams were studied to determine the efficiency of meltwater flow to move sand and coarser materials deposited on talus surfaces. Similarities between sediments in the fluvial and talus deposits support strong coupling between these processes. Streams are capable of moving smaller sized talus materials, however active rockfalls continue to supply new sediment and limit stream incision. The source of recent rockfalls appears to be ridges at high elevations or along north facing walls indicated by the frequency of surface weathering and lichen cover on selected talus fans.

When #tuttle was attracting a crowd of about 80 people every week at the ICA, the old-school networking entrepreneurs came a-sniffing. “How can you do this?” they asked. “You’re supposed to keep people out, that’s how you make people want to join, then when you’ve created sufficient demand, people will be eager to pay to get in, but still you keep it exclusive and the demand and the prices grow and grow.” And I just said “I don’t know. I can’t be bothered with all that. If people want to come, let them.” And they continued to make a living at it and I didn’t make a bean. And I’m happy with that.
On the other hand, there were people who came and said “Oh, I know how to get you more people here. You should be having speakers and a theme every week and have a website so that people can join in online.” And I said “No. That’s not what I’m interesed in, thank you. If people want to come who can’t come, then they can start their own.” If I was feeling polite.
I’m still attracted to the idea of a club that’s just as big as it needs to be. It’s not for everyone and it’s not trying to be. But it’s also not keeping anyone out if they want to be a part of it as long as we’ve got space in the room. And if we don’t have enough space, perhaps we need a bigger room or another branch.
I’m thinking about this because I’ve been looking at ello which seems to want to be Facebook, but nicer, without the ads, but with no clear sense of what’s going to support mass participation other than ads and avoiding the question of how the current investors are going to make their money. There was quite a kerfuffle when it arrived, because we do seem to want something other than Facebook and Twitter and the rest, but this really doesn’t seem to be it.
And then along comes tilde.club which feels much closer to #tuttle territory. It’s not meant to be a social network. It’s just a server with a bunch of user accounts, like the account I had at University until 1996. Many of the users are re-creating that early web vibe, but others are just using it for writing again and the social aspects of simply writing and linking to other people’s writing are being explored and rediscovered. All just on one server. And only restricted because there’s only so many people you can support. If you want to do your own, then you can do your own.
When I suggested we call the London Social Media Cafe “The Tuttle Club” there were a few people who bristled at the word “Club” but I think it’s what I want. A club that has me in it. And my friends. And some people that I don’t know yet, but might find interesting to talk to.
So I bought the tuttle.club domain name. And it’s making me think.

Shares of Crown Resorts Ltd [ASX:CWN] have copped a beating in today’s trading, down 8.79% at time of writing.
The blow is particularly harsh after Crown’s share price hiked nearly 20% Yesterday, with the company announcing a ‘confidential takeover proposal’ made by Las Vegas-based high-end hotel and casino operator, Wynn Resorts Ltd [NASDAQ:WYNN].
The proposal, which involved an acquisition consideration of 50% cash and 50% Wynn shares, had an implied value of $14.75 per share. Thus investor excitement was understandable.
This morning, however, Crown announced on the ASX that discussions between the two companies had terminated, resulting in today’s heavy price drop.
It seems Crown jumped the gun on this deal, thinking a public announcement regarding the discussions fell under the umbrella of ‘confidential’. Alas, that is not the case.
As reported by the ABC, Wynn Resorts abruptly ended the talks once they caught wind of Crown’s ‘premature disclosure of preliminary discussions’.
Indeed, Crown’s price sensitive Tuesday ASX announcement does seem to conflict with its message insisting ‘there is no certainty that these discussions will result in a transaction’. What’s more, Crown initiated a pause on trading pending the announcement, clearly aware it would have a significant impact on investor interest.
In fact, there’s no way a near AU$10 billion buyout offer from a $21.9 billion Wall Street-listed company would bypass a rock of the share market.
Both casino companies have seen their fair share of controversy. Founder Steve Wynn himself sold his stake in the company last year, resigning from his chairman and CEO positions due to sexual misconduct allegations.
In 2016, Crown faced the jailing of 16 staff members in China on illegal gamble promotion charges. Not long after that, the company retreated from international expansion plans, including one to build a casino in Las Vegas. This resulted in Crown having to sell the vacant Wynn land for $370 million.
Is it game over for a Wynn-ing deal?
Despite their current bitterness towards Crown’s lack of discretion, today’s turmoil by no means ends all possibilities of a future Wynn/Crown deal.
In fact, Crown’s boasting of the potential deal may work in their favour, as revealing their openness to such offers may see interest from other operators. Hard Rock International Inc is a potential suitor according to Deutsche Bank analysts.
As for Wynn, they are looking at expanding their Asia reach beyond its Macau property. Their interest in Melbourne-based Crown reflects their desire for offshore expansion.
‘When Wynn reacted to this, it showed that they just didn’t like the way that the game was being played and decided to take their bat and ball and go away.
However, Crown still needs to complete their $2.2 billion Sydney casino, and also deal with the wavering commitment of Aussie billionaire James Packer to the company. Packer resigned from the board of his family company Consolidated Press Holdings last year, which holds a 47% stake in Crown.
Crown has fallen in value by 20% since the middle of last year, and profits failed to reach expectations. The company attribute this to the slowdown in the Chinese economy, meaning the usual big gamblers are now less likely to spend the big dollars when they travel to Australia.
PS: With both Crown and Wynn seeing the potential, but also the weaknesses, in holding a substantial market in China, it seems prudent to understand just how lucrative this area of the global market will become.

Camping at Easter: go on a night time egg hunt!
Are you camping at Easter?
If you are, and you have children with you, here's a camping idea that the kids will love to do around the campsite at night.
It's easy and you can get everything you need at a supermarket or one of those $2 shops that are around the place.
An Easter Egg hunt at night!
Snap the glowsticks to activate, and put one in each egg mould. Then you hide the eggs and let the kids run around the camp area, and see which one finds the most.
As an additional incentive, put a small solid egg inside - that way the kids get the glowstick and a chocolate!
And come Easter Sunday, these plastic eggs are a great way to hide more chocolate eggs around the campsite.
We (or should I say, the Easter Bunny) fill the plastic eggs with smaller chocolate eggs the night before, and know that during the night, no animals or bugs have got to the chocolate!
Children love the Easter Egg Hunt in the morning, and are impressed by the Bunny's ingenuity too!
Want more tips about Easter camping - then we have more ideas for you.
Or try this campfire recipe - Easter S'Mores.

The N1K2-J Shiden-Kai is a Rank IV Japanese fighter with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB), 6.3 (RB), and 6.0 (SB). It was in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.
The N1K2-J is a versatile plane that has its great acceleration and rate of climb as the main advantage. It lacks the impressive low-speed manoeuvrability of its preceding plane in the Japanese research tree, but it can still turn against most of its fighter opposition and win the engagement. The N1K2-J's battle rating presents the potential challenge of flying against fighter jets, against which N1K pilots will have to use their high sustained rate of climb, not to be left low and vulnerable against faster enemies, as well as to use their turning ability far superior to that of the average jet.
The N1K2-J can carry one of the following additional load outs, under the wings. The rockets were designed for anti-air usage versus bombers, however they are quite inaccurate and only one salvo can be fired in RB/SB. Make sure to select a detonation range before spawning in. Feel free to experiment, 300-700 m are common values. The bigger 250 kg bombs are useful in long enduring games, were few players are left and victory is determined by the last ground units. Ignore the 60 kg, your cannons will do more damage in the long run.
Cockpit feature good all around visibility. The quite high mounted gun-sight allows for good sight in deflection shots, if a bit of rudder and aileron are applied.
Top speed and acceleration is an issue with stock aircraft. Compressor and New Engine greatly help. Having access to Offensive 20 mm belts is helpful for gaining options of ammunition types.
Kawanishi Shiden-Kai Model 21, Kawanishi N1K2-J (code name ""George"") Marine Interceptor-Fighter.
A single-seat, all-metal monoplane fighter with a closed canopy. The ""Shiden"" holds a unique place in the history of airplane construction. This land-based interceptor was based on the N1K1, which had been designed to support amphibious operations.
The first prototype N1K1 ""Kyofu"" (""Mighty Wind"") was flown on May 6, 1942, and mass production began in May of 1943. However, when the first seaplanes started to arrive on the front, the situation in the Pacific theater had changed so that this type of plane was simply no longer needed. Therefore, a land version project of the fighter was developed as a private initiative, based on the Kyofu. Originally it was planned that the only distinction between the two planes was that the Shiden-Kai would have retractable landing gear instead of floats, but it was quickly decided that the engine should be replaced with a more powerful alternative. A four-bladed propeller with a diameter of 3.3 meters was selected for the plane. Such a large propeller size, along with the mid-wing aerodynamic design, forced the plane to be fitted with elongated, telescoping landing gear struts which folded during retraction.
The land-based version made its first flight on December 12, 1942. The prototype's private designation was the X1, and in mass production its designation became N1K1-J ""Shiden"" (""Purple Lightning""). Production began in August of 1943.
The new fighter proved to be an excellent interceptor. However, its operation was complicated by the frequent failure of its engine, the Homare 21, the complex design of its chassis, and its ineffective brakes. Consequently, the number of the N1K1-J's non-combat losses was very high. The next model of the Shiden was designed to eliminate these shortcomings.
The aircraft's redesign began simultaneously with the N1K1-J's military trials. The N1K2-J's first flight was made on December 31, 1943. The production model was designated the Shiden-Kai (""Purple Lightning Improved"") Model 21 Marine Fighter-Interceptor.
The new model, like its predecessor, featured a 14-cylinder air-cooled radial engine, the Nakajima Homare 21 NK9H, with a takeoff power of 1820 hp. It also retained the basic wing construction and armament of the N1K1-J. However, the Shiden-Kai was really a new plane. During the planning phase, special attention was given to ensuring ease of production and, at least to some extent, the use of readily available materials. The Shiden-Kai, unlike its predecessor, had a low-wing design which allowed the use of conventional landing gear. The new design was finally rid of the N1K1-J's main operational problems.
The shape of the fuselage was completely changed and somewhat lengthened, and the vertical tail fin was completely redesigned. The empty weight of the aircraft was decreased by 240 kilograms.
The N1K2-J was armed with 4 Type 99 Model 2 20mm wing-mounted cannons. The inner pair held 200 rounds of ammunition each and the outer held 250 each (900 rounds total).
On the two pylons suspended underneath its wings, the aircraft could carry two 250-kg type 98 or two 60-kg type 97 bombs. Or, it could carry unguided 60-kg No.27 rockets. In addition, an extra 400-liter fuel tank could be installed under the fuselage.
Because its center of gravity was towards the plane's rear, the N1K2-J was somewhat difficult to control, and was usually flown by experienced pilots (especially former Zero pilots) after they underwent retraining.

When I print a document, nothing is printed. This used to work before upgrading to Precise.
As well, could you please attach all relevant information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems ?
I'm not sure if I have the same bug or not, but printing also no longer works for me after upgrading to Precise.
in the cups log, which looks different from the above, so maybe I have a different problem.
Marius, could you test if the update resolves your issue?
I will be able to test this in two weeks.
As the original poster of this bug report is not available in time for verifying this SRU, I ask everyone else reading this, especially the reporters of the duplicates and the people who reported "me too" via a comment or "Does this bug affect you?" to test the proposed package and report here whether it solved the problem. We need user feedback to be able to make the package an official update.
Please especially follow the instructions of comment #20. After that, follow also the instyructions of comment #18 and comment #21.
Installing cups-filters from precise-proposed fixed the problem for me.
I had enough trouble stumbling through the process of applying the fix, that perhaps someone with more experience could articulate the process clearly for other users.
1) Add precise-proposed through the Ubuntu Software Centre->Edit->Software Sources->Updates tab -> Pre-Released Updates check box.
2) Run Update Manager, deselect everything except OpenPrinting CUPS Filters, and apply the change.
Jordan, thank you for testing. Marking as verified.
This also solved the PDF printer issue on my 12.04 installation (Brother printer). Bug 1005000, which I just marked as a duplicate. What's the best way, if possible, to apply this patch to an 11.10 installation?
Installing cups-filters from precise-proposed fixed the problem (bug 1004479) for me.
Awesome! Thx. for fixing this so quickly!
ive tried what it says in here, but it is still a problem to me, i cant print pdfs.
If you have installed all updates, please open a new bug report.

Round five of the U.S. Championship produced the most fighting chess so far at the 2011 U.S. Chess Championship and U.S. Women’s Championship. Players of the Black pieces won an astounding six games, and half of the games went into the sixth hour. Three-fourths of the games ended with a winner, and even the defending champion could not get an easy day off.
GM Sam Shankland, tied with Hess in Group B going into the round, did not attain such a stable position. He entered the preparation of GM Alexander Shabalov, and for 14 moves his opponent played automatically. After accepting an exchange sacrifice, Shankland found his pieces tied down and his supposed material advantage illusory. “None of my rooks ever did anything,” Shankland said.
Talking to Shabalov after the game, Shankland said, “You beat me like four games in a row with Black. It’s not fair.” Shabalov replied, “I would still trade places with you.” Shankland stays with three points, while Shabalov’s win got him to two out of five. Shabalov is still mathematically alive to finish in the top two of his group, if only barely. When asked what he has left to play for, Shabalov joked, “There’s always money!” Each place difference for the non-qualifiers is about $1,000 difference.
GM Larry Christiansen entered the round in sole possession of third place in the group, but he yielded that placement to GM Alexander Onischuk after losing their head-to-head battle. “I didn’t get so much from the opening even though I knew the line,” Onischuk said. Though the win puts him in third place for the time being, Onischuk was quick to explain that he has to work in the last two rounds. “Still it’s not clear if I’m going to qualify,” he said. Going into the tournament, Onischuk was a heavy favorite to be a qualifier to the semifinals.
In other Group B action, GM Yasser Seirawaran recovered from a slow start to win his first game of the event by besting GM Ben Finegold after the latter willingly entered a complicated but losing king-and-pawn endgame. Finegold felt frustrated after the game. While he resigned in a losing position, he said that the variation Seirawan prepared to continue with was not the best and would have led to a draw.
In Group A, both GM Yury Shulman and GM Gata Kamsky protected their lead by negotiating draws. Shulman’s draw versus good friend GM Varuzhan Akobian came without too much fuss, but Kamsky had to work for quite some time against GM Alexander Stripunksy. Kamsky closed the entire position by locking up the pawns but a determined Stripunsky fought hard to open an avenue for attack. After exhausting all resources, Stripunsky settled for a split point. Kamsky was highly critical of his own play, but both he and Shulman remain in the drivers’ seats with 3.5 out of five.
GM Ray Robson failed to catch up as his knight got ensnared on the a-file against 15-year-old IM Daniel Naroditsky. Robson extricated his knight, but at great cost, and his younger opponent eventually barreled down the edge of the board to win the game. “He defended like a tiger,” Naroditsky said. “He was down to five seconds each move but he found the best move each time.” Both Naroditsky and Robson now sit at 2.5. The even score is outstanding for the former but represents a missed opportunity for the latter.
GM Alexander Ivanov and GM Jaan Ehlvest also drew their complicated queen versus two rooks ending.
In the U.S. Women’s Championship, IM Irina Krush moved into sole possession of the lead for the first time in the tournament by winning her fourth game in a row. Krush outmaneuvered FM Alisa Melekhina in an equal ending to get to four points. Melekhina insisted she is playing well but is not finding any luck in her games. Early tournament leader WGM Sabina Foisor suffered her first hiccup of the event. She lost to IM Rusudan Goletiani, but Foisor remains tied for second place with two rounds to go.
Equaling Foisor with 3.5 out of five is WFM Tatev Abrahamyan, who won for the first time ever against IM Anna Zatonskih. Despite having an extra queen, bishop, and pawn about to promote, Abrahamyan almost threw away the win. “I finally play one good game and I can’t finish it well!” she said. After her king took a long walk to the other side of the board, Abrahmyan found shelter and netted the point. Zatonskih will need to move quickly in rounds six and seven to qualify for the semifinals.
WGM Camilla Baginskaite won her third game to continue to come back from an opening-round loss. Her victory over WIM Irina Zenyuk moved her to 3.5 and with a great chance to qualify. The top four women are Krush with 4/5 and then Foisor, Abrahamyan and Baginskaite with 3.5/5.
In round six, the young Naroditsky will face defending champion Kamsky. Asked what his strategy was, Naroditsky joked that he would be “groveling,” a term chess players use to mean they are hoping for a draw. Christiansen will be desperate against Hess, and Shulman will try to keep place against Robson.
The top four women need to do little more than to play for draws, so Zatonskih will need to find a way to win as Black against Goletiani.
After winning the postponed game versus David Navara on January 1st, Alexander Morozevich took up on the leader Francisco Vallejo Pons in round five of Reggio Emilia tournament. The Spanish Grandmaster was probably surprised in the opening as he spent loads of time until the move 16. However, he managed to find a good continuation and make a draw in the endgame.
Michele Godena appeared solid with white against Vassily Ivanchuk, but black was persistent and eventually broke his opponent into making a couple of dubious moves. Ivanchuk wins the game and moves ahead to the second place with 3 points.
The 1st Rapid “Torneo di Capodanno Reggio Emilia” was held on January 2nd with the participation of strong Italian and foreign players. The winner was WGM Yulia Kochetkova, second place was for FM Andrea Stella, a rising young Italian player, and 3rd place for Italian women Olympic player IM Olga Zimina, all with 6.5 out of 8.
Sanan Sjugirov defeated the defending champion Peter Svidler in the fifth round of the 2009 Russian Superfinal Championship, helping Alexander Grischuk to leapfrog and take a clear first place with 3.5 points. Svidler opened with the usually reliable Caro-Kann, but something went terribly wrong and his fort broke down after only 20 moves. In the final position white has multiple threats against the weak black pawns and shaky King.
Alisa Galliamova keeps the pace in the women section and wins fifth consecutive game, this time against Marina Romanko. Nadezhda Kosintseva is slowing down, and with another draw falls a full point behind the leader. Ttaiana Kosintseva surges forward, Romanko and Stepovaia are firmly tied to the bottom of the crosstable.

English Grandmaster Nigel Short convincingly won his second trophy at the Sigeman Co Chess Tournament, full point and a half ahead of the second placed IM Nils Grandelius. What makes his win even more significant is that the tournament consisted of only five games. Going back to the first round report by GM Stellan Brynell, we read – “In today’s edition of Sydsvenskan, the biggest newspaper in southern Sweden, Lars Grahn noted that during the opening ceremony Nigel Short mentioned that if he played a single lifeless draw during the five rounds, the organisers should have the right to demand that the starting fee be paid back”. Short kept his promise.
To the delight of the local audience, second place goes to 16-years old Swedish hope IM Nils Grandelius. He played extremely well and signed wins against top Grandmasters Ivan Sokolov and Emanuel Berg. Tomi Nybäck of Finland pulled a nice win in the final round to reach 50% score and shared third place.
IM Melia Salome won the Georgian derby against GM Nana Dzagnidze in yesterday’s round of the European Women Chess Championship to break through to the top four. Dzagnidze enjoyed some advantage with White pieces and probably missed a better continuation while Salome was trying to redeploy the passive Bishop. Another inaccuracy, probably in time trouble, allowed Black to capture a vital pawn and then ruthlessly convert the material into full point.
Lilit Mkrtchian made a good appearance from the Black side of the Caro-Kan to enter the leading pack. Grandmasters Hoang Thanh Trang and Monika Socko played an exciting game on the top board, but Black had a good counterplay after the Trompovsky opening and final draw was a fair result. Also take note of GM Arakhamia-Grant’s brilliant attack against IM Sopio Gvetadze (game bellow).
The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is steeped in history – much of it military. The name Gibraltar comes from the Arabic name Jabal Tāriq meaning “mountain of Tariq” named after the Berber Umayyad general Tariq ibn-Ziyad who led the initial Moorish incursion into the Iberia peninsular in 711.
The Battle of Gibraltar occurred in 1607 during the 80 years war, which saw the entire Spanish fleet destroyed by the Dutch in a little over 4 hours. Then, in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession British and Dutch troops captured The Rock in the name of the Hapsburg claimant to the throne, Archduke Charles. However, Gibraltar was eventually ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 – and has remained in British hands ever since.
Since then, Gibraltar has been the subject of many sieges but it’s geography makes its military capture difficult. Indeed, The Rock was vital to the Allies Mediterranean and North African campaign in the second world war. The Axis plans to take The Rock, codenamed Operation Felix, never came to fruition.
So perhaps it is fitting that a fighting game such as chess should find a home in Gibraltar – I’m sure that many players wish their defences were as impenetrable as The Rocks!
There are no players left on maximum points after Vasilios Kotronias drew with Michael Roiz. But this was no “Grandmaster” draw as peace only broke out after 76 moves. Slovenian GM Alexander Beliavsky joined Kotronias in the lead on 4½/5 by defeating Nana Dzagnidze by proving that his bishop was better than her knight in the endgame. There are no less than 12 players just half a point behind the leaders. Joining Roiz on 4/5 are Socko and Gashimov (draw in 30) and Golod and Avrukh (draw in 77).
And on board 10, the highest rated Swedish player, GM Emmanuel Berg (2606), scored a comfortable win against Theo Hommeles (2410) of the Netherlands. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Qd2 The Richter/Rauzer Attack. 7…a6 8.0–0–0 Bd7 9.f3 b5 10.Nxc6 Bxc6 11.Ne2 Rc8 12.Nd4 Bb7 13.Kb1 Be7 14.h4 h6 15.Be3 Nd7 16.g4 Ne5 17.Be2 Bxh4?!
Two boards farther down, two of the strongest women players, GM Pia Cramling (2548) of Sweden and IM Jovanka Houska (2392) of England were locked in a titanic struggle which saw the following position appear after White’s 47th move.
Peter Svidler won nicely against Mikhail Gurevich, whilst French GM Arnaud Hauchard will no doubt be delighted to have defeated reigning champ Hikaru Nakamura. GM Berkes and GM Del Rio also won to complete the twelve on 4/5.
Some things in Gibraltar have a distinctly British look!
Report compiled by Sean Hewitt and John Saunders with games annotated by Sunil Weeramantry.
Alexander Morozevich drew Alexei Shirov yesterday and retained the lead after the fifth round of Mikhail Tal Memorial. Ruslan Ponomariov moves up on the crosstable after scoring a fine win against Peter Leko’s Marshall Attack. Pono employed a “naive” 18. Bc2, which apparently drops the pressure along the a2-g8 diagonal and allows easy f5-f4 for Black. This is exactly what Leko tried to do, but White gave a pawn back to exchange the Queens. In spite of White’s pair of Bishops, Leko was probably holding even before missing powerful 34. Rf1! after which Black position collapses.
Azeri star Shakhriyar Mamedyarov mentioned on a couple of occasions that opening repertoire with Black is his weakest point. Against Gata Kamsky, however, he reached a perfectly playable Sheveningen Sicilian without problems. At one point, Kamsky went for enterprising 21. Bg7!? instead of regular 21. Bc3, but the problem was that Black is not forced to take the Bishop. Mamedyarov seized the advantage with correct 21…Bxc2! and converted later into full point.
Wednesday (14 CET): Live game commentary by GM Vladimir Dimitrov and live blog with the Chessdom team in Sofia. See you there!
Levon Aronian tried to keep Vassily Ivanchuk’s king in the center by sacrificing a pawn but it hit him back in the head because the beautifully placed black Queen was destroying white’s pieces’ coordination. The last resort was to try and give up a Bishop to collect some queenside pawns. Ivanchuk then transposed to the position where he had two Rooks and a Bishop against white’s lonely Queen, and once the black King reached safety, Aronian was forced to resign. Ivanchuk won all games in the first half of the Mtel Masters, leaving the 2nd placed Topalov 1.5 points behind.
Veselin Topalov was in great mood today and simply blasted Bu Xiangzhi off the board after black made a few inaccuracies in the Slav defence. Topalov is now 2nd with 3.5 points, point and a half behind Ivanchuk, but with same distance ahead of rest of the field. Ivan Cheparinov – Teimour Radjabov finished in a draw with perpetual check, since black successfully defended in the bayonet variation of the King’s Indian defence.
More news coming in today, FIDE once again extended the deadline to receive bids for Kamsky – Topalov WCC semi-final match.
Round 5 of the 2008 Gausdal Classics’ GM-group A saw the substitution on the top as earlier leader Chanda Sandipan lost to Kjetil Lie, while Gregory Kaidanov gradually outplayed Øystein Hole from slightly better endgame to earn a full point. GM Lie was inspired to attack on the Sheveningen Sicilian and clinched the win with a pretty final attack, see the game bellow.
GM Gopal started aggressively with black, even sacrificing a pawn in order to give more air to the pair of bishops, but GM Macieja never lost the control and was able to make a draw. Eric Moscow persistently defended slightly weaker endgame against IM Krush to finally reach a deserved draw. Irina Krush now has to score 3 points out of four remaining games in order to obtain GM norm.
More Gausdal Classics coverage on the official website.
Ural are firmly holding the lead after five rounds following their win in the derby match against Economist 1. It wasn’t all easy though, Teimour Radjabov beat Evgeny Alexeev but Gata Kamsky lost to Pavel Eljanov. Alexei Dreev brings the key point in the longest game on the 6th board.
Finally one decided game among the participants of the forthcoming FIDE Grand Prix, Peter Svidler broke Boris Gelfand’s Petroff defence to lead Finek Gazprom in the demolition of Moscow “64″. Vugar Gashimov was also successful and his win made the difference that rose Shatar Buryatia to the 2nd place in the crosstable. Vassily Ivanchuk wins Ukrainian derby against Ruslan Ponomariov and Alexander Morozevich forced legendary Anatoly Karpov to resignation way after the 100th move.
David Navara started to move forward after beating legendary Viktor Korchnoi in the fifth round. From the White side of the Tarash line in French defence, which Korchnoi knows better than his own backyard, Navara gained strong initiative on the kingside after Black’s sloppy Kf8-Kg8. Striking 28. c4!! marked the decisive advantage for Navara, who quickly finished game with couple of accurately calculated blows.
Mihail Marin employed rare 10…g6 in the Open Ruy Lopez against Zoltan Almasi. Curiously, Viktor Korchnoi already played this against Anatoly Karpov in their 1978 WCh match, but also against Almasi on 2002. Almasi deviated from this game with 12. Nd4, but Marin replied with new move Qd7. However, resulting structural damage, combined with the weakness on c6, proved to be too much for Marin and he was forced to give over right before the time control.
Ni Hua steadily increased space advantage against Sergey Tiviakov’s Scandinavian defence to finally reach a positive transformation in the pawn structure. Concentrated heavy pieces on the kingside allowed cute sacrifice 36. Rxg7 to force Black’s resignation.
Ibragim Khamrakulov was the only one to score a win in the 5th round of Ciudad de Pamplona and reach 50% score. On the Black side of Queen’s Indian against Alexander Beliavsky, and in virtually harmless position, Khamrakulov played a squence of resolute moves (15…Qc8, 16…Bb4, 17…Qe8!) to grab the initiative. Beliavsky didn’t defend precisely and was forced to resign on 27th move.
The game between Baadur Jobava and Maxim Rodstein will attract plenty of attention from opening theoriticians. Rodstein defended in Semi-Slav Botvinnik variation in which even Kramnik and Topalov were defeated. Fierce tactical battle emerged after Jobava improved the line with 21. Rfc1. At the end of the day, Rodstein forced perpetual check in the Queens endgame.
Gabriel Sargissian – Wang Yue and Sergei Movsesian – Francisco Vallejo Pons also finished in draws. Vallejo Pons is leading the race with 3.5 points after five rounds, Gabriel Sargissian is knocked on the bottom end with 1.5, while all the others are standing in the middle with 2.5.
Vladimir Kramnik beautifully converted microscopic advantage in the Knights endgame against Alexei Shirov to take the sole lead after five rounds of Tal Memorial 2007. Other game were drawn, but not without fireworks.
Dmitry Jakovenko tried to attack someone for the first time, but Peter Leko is not only ultra-solid defender, he’s also capable of counterattack. Jakovenko still managed to save a draw after employing some imagination.
Gata Kamsky handled Chebanenko Slav defence without prejudice and played active in the center to slowly exchange pieces for slightly better endgame. It seemed like his Bishop will outpower Evgeny Alexeev’s Knight, still white Rook and pawn mass allowed him to escape with a draw.
Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Boris Gelfand engaged in a popular line of Meran defence that was wildly explored in early 90′s. Timely exchange sacrifice allowed Gelfand to take a central pawn and achieve wonderful activity. Mamedyarov captured less important b-pawn, but his Rooks were lacking open files and he had to agree on moves repetition.
Magnus Carlsen could have been a bit over-aggressive in Sveshnikov Sicilian and that can be dangerous against a player like Vassily Ivanchuk. White won a pawn and transefered into Queens and Bishops endgame. Nevertheless, Carlsen defended tenaciously and managed to achieve perpetual check being two pawns down.
Anand plays his first game for OSC Baden-Baden e.V.
With every round the European Club Cup chess championship get more and more exciting. Round 5 saw three top derbies and one “local”. Besides, on board 1 for OSC Baden-Baden e.V. entered the world champion Viswanathan Anand.
The current leaders Alkaloid had a difficult match against the gaining speed Linex Magic – Merida. On board one the clashed was a flashback of the Mtel Masters 2007 – Mamedyarov – Kamsky. Mamedyarov was building his way to victory move by move. Kamsky was defending well in a difficult position until the endgame where he seemed to be giving his pawns away and was totally outplayed by Mamedyarov.
However, that could not help Alkaloid, since Linex proved to be really magical. Michael Adams defeated Kiril Georgiev, Rublevsky did not have any problem against Volkov, GM	Cheparinov won against GM	Nedev and IM Candelario Manuel Perez defeated yet another GM – Dragoljub Jacimovic. GM	Sargissian could not get the victory against GM	Kozul, but eben in that case Linex Magic – Merida won the match 1½:4½.
The second seeded Ural Sverdlovskaya took on the solid team of Ashdod City Club. Board 1 clash between Teimour Radjabov and Pavel Eljanov finished a draw. WCC participant Alexander Grischuk had no problems against Boris Avrukh, and GM	Shirov and GM	Dreev gave the convincing 4½:1½ victory to Ural Sverdlovskaya. This makes the team first in the current standings, with the same points as Linex Magic – Merida and Tomsk, but better tiebreak.
The 200+ average ELO difference counted for Tomsk-400 as they passed over 1. Novoborsky SK. Tomsk won on all boards, it 2 match points, 6 game points, and second place in the current standings.
All eyes were set on OSC Baden-Baden e.V. – Cannes Echecs, where the World Champion Viswanathan Anand appeared on board 1 for the German team. He played with Kazhgaleyev (ELO 2599) and finished a draw in 22 moves. This draw theoretically substracts 3 points from Anand’s rating and brings him under 2800. However, there is a lot of time until the next rating list update.
OSC Baden-Baden e.V did not have any problems, even though the top three boards (Anand, Svidler, and Carlsen) were held to draws. GM	Bacrot, GM	Nisipeanu, and GM	Nielsen had no problems and the match finished 4½:1½.
Round 5 of the European Club Cup had a strong “local” derbies. Chess Club Zeljeznicar Sarajevo (board 1 Predrag Nikolic) met the 4th seeded Bosna Sarajevo (board 1 Vassily Ivanchuk). Even though the games were very exciting, there was no surprise and Bosna Sarajevo won 1,5:4,5.
Beloved Semi-Slav didn’t help Alexander Onischuk against Magnus Carlsen’s inspired play. Norwegian bravely bolted b7 pawn and with series of unique moves, particularly nice was 29.b4 and 30. a4, took the full point. This leaves him in an early lead, full point ahead of competition.
Once again, Bu Xiangzhi annoyed his opponent by spinning the Queen along the “a” and “b” files. Prior to that, Motylev tried pawn sacrifice, but it didn’t work well and he suffered 2nd consecutive defeat. Other games were drawn without too much happening.
World Champion Vladimir Kramnik is on a good way to win his 8th Dortmund Sparkassen. Currently he is leading with 3.5 points out of 5, with “easy” schedule in the remaining two rounds. Kramnik will face Arkadij Naiditsch, whom he beat at the last-year Olympiad, in round 6 with White pieces. Last round he is playing Black against Russian champion Evgeny Alexeev. The two have never played before.
Viswanathan Anand and Evgeny Alekseev, who just saved tough position against Naiditsch in 5th round, are half point behind Kramnik. Dortmund Chess Meeting goes as expected, with only five decided games out of 20 played. The main problem is obviously the clumsy 8-player single round-robin, where players are not eager to take too much risk.

Broadband is fast internet service which makes you connect to the worldwide very easily. Okay, it's not quite that simple: Broadband in telecommunications refers to the signaling method that handles a relatively wide range of frequencies, which may be divided into channels.
That is really a nice information. I am already having this 256 connection and I hope the new migration is without any additional (hidden) charge.
This sounds good!!!...Now iam having Rs250 plan and now the speed changes from 256Kb to 512Kb...Wow thats COOLLLL..

Inside Line has a follow-up test with the Audi RS4 Cabriolet.
"Did you hear it?" That's what everyone who drove the 2008 Audi RS4 Cabriolet came back and said. They'd start talking about the 420-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 and say, "Did you hear it?"
Start the V8 and fly through the six gears with the greatest of ease. The mechanical music is pure bliss. If Beethoven composed a car, this is what it would sound like. Not simply loud and boisterous like an American V8, but instead pure and very powerful, with a classically German timbre.
The shift lever for the six-speed manual transmission is gorgeously trimmed with leather and aluminum, and while the throws between gears are long, the shift action is light and you never miss. The throttle tip-in is very aggressive, and while it makes stop-and-go traffic a little too challenging, racer boys will like the light, anxious engine response.
The aluminum pedals have rubber inserts for grip, even when you're wearing winter boots, although this all-weather friendliness also means the pedals are a little too widely spaced for easy heel-and-toe downshifts. Meanwhile the RS4's sport seats envelop you in a supportive shape that's upholstered with Audi's distinctive, luxurious leather.
The steering wheel is an instrument of ergonomic correctness, with a thick rim to fill your palm and a complete array of remote controls for the electronics and sensibly placed stalks within reach of your fingers.
This is a great place to be — efficient and proper, yet seriously luxurious. Plus a sunroof that's as big as the sky.

The eccentric PayPal billionaire doesn’t just invest in Silicon Valley tech companies. He’s giving money for crazy projects that do everything from get power from the weather to find ways to program human cells like computers.
Paypal Co-Founder Peter Thiel isn’t the kind of guy who invests in mindless smartphone apps that make lots of cash. He’s not anti-software by any means; he has sunk millions into accounting software company Xero. But Thiel also doles out cash to companies doing things that aren’t just world-changing–they seem insane (in a good way). Could we expect anything less from the guy that’s funding a floating startup incubator for foreign entrepreneurs?
Thiel’s latest investment–a $300,000 bet–is in AVEtec, a startup from Canadian engineer Louis Michaud that wants to harness the energy created by tornados. Michaud doesn’t want to chase tornados a la Twister; he plans to generate man-made tornados that can be safely switched off if necessary.
Michaud’s design features warm air blown into a hollow cylinder, where it turns into a “controlled vortex” (aka a tornado) that’s supported by the temperature difference between the heated air in the cylinder and the atmosphere. No carbon emissions are produced, no energy storage is required, the device can produce 200 megawatts of electrical power (the same as a coal power plant) and power can potentially be produced at just three cents per kilowatt hour.
Now Michaud just needs to build the proof of concept–a project that will be helped along by Thiel’s cash. He’s working on a 131-foot-tall, 26-foot-in-diameter prototype at Lambton College in Ontario.
AVEtec is one of 12 startups that Thiel is funding through Breakout Labs, a program of the Thiel Foundation that the organization calls “a revolutionary, revolving funding model through which successful projects fund the next generation of daring scientific exploration.” Some of our other favorites are listed below.
An alligator purse that doesn’t require killing an animal. A burger that keeps cows intact. That’s the far-out dream of Modern Meadow, a startup that could have test tube leather ready for large-scale production in five years. To make leather, the startup biopsies a living animal, isolates the necessary cells, multiplies them in a bioreactor, centrifuges them into spheres of thousands of cells, layers and fuses cell aggregates, matures the cells in a bioreactor, and harvests the skin tissue. All for your guilt-free leather accessory.
“At this point, the goal is to create products that are both biomimetic–very, very similar to real leather–and also to look at ways that we can improve upon it and make products that are superior to traditional leather,” CEO Andras Forgacs told Co.Exist in an interview earlier this year. Down the line, Modern Meadow will move into test tube meat. Why buy a cow when you can get the meat from a lab?
This company has the ambitious goal of creating a universal system for gathering and identifying airborne toxins. The research for the project is being conducted at the Northwestern University Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Inspirotec is working on two different models: a portable air collector that collects samples which can be analyzed in a lab (available in 2013), and a more-ambitious sounding next-generation portable collector that allows for real-time monitoring. The Inspirotec website explains that “It is based on well-established biological detection methods and connects with smart devices allowing for mobile applications.” Funding from Breakout will be used to create a proof-of-concept device.
This startup, founded by a computer security expert, is taking a programmer’s approach to disease treatment: The company wants to program patients’ cells to become tiny drug factories. The website explains: “Within 50 years, we will program human cells like we program computers. Envision a stand-alone device capable of modifying a patient’s cells to manufacture biologic-based therapies for a wide range of disease including cardiovascular disease, cancers, infectious diseases, and lysosomal storage diseases. Programming a patient’s cells to manufacture their own treatments could dramatically reduce therapy costs.” With the price for certain cancer treatments hovering over $100,000 per year, that’s a big deal.
Within 50 years, we will program human cells like we program computers.
Immosoft is testing its methods first with a rare genetic disease called MPS I. If the company is successful, it will program the human immune system to generate cells that secrete enzymes to treat the disease, first in genetically modified mice before moving on eventually to humans. Immusoft has already conducted a proof of concept for its treatment where B cells were modified from a healthy human to create antibodies that neutralize HIV.
Organ transplants are tricky, time-sensitive things–if an organ isn’t transplanted within hours, there’s a decent chance it will be rejected. That doesn’t bode well for patients, who may have a perfectly good organ waiting for them–on the other side of the world. Arigos Biomedical is working on high-speed methods to cool organs for long-term preservation. One day, patients may be able to receive organs that have been preserved for months or even longer.
Arigos doesn’t have a website (that we can find, anyway), but co-founder Tanya Jones told the Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal: “We’ve done all the math that we can do to prove that this method will work … now it’s a matter of actually beginning to use organs. We are hoping to basically have all the pictures and all the proof necessary.” First up: testing the technology with animal organs.

Coaching is about discovering what you want to do, finding the best way to do it and then doing it. It inspires, motivates and guides you to better your life in a focussed way. You learn to take responsibility for, and love your own successful life.
What am I doing to get what I want?
What has stopped me from getting what I want in the past, and how can these obstacles be removed?
What will life be like when I have what I want?
As a life coach, Suzy's skill is motivating people to discover and reach their own dreams. As humans we value the challenge to explore our capacities and recognise our potential, but sometimes we impose limitations that prevent the expression of that potential; 'I can't do that'. Working with a coach enables us to recognise where we may be stopping ourselves doing things and believing in our capabilities, and therefore not reaching our full potential. We can all do much more than we realise.
Suzy's years as an adventure athlete and skiing the highest mountains in the World have given her lots of experience in setting, working towards, achieving, and not achieving goals. She has developed a belief that the best way to be happy in life is to set goals without having the anxiety of achieving them. For her, it is the journey, what happens as you go towards the goal, which is important and uplifting. "Action without attachment to the fruits of the action" (Timothy Gallwey).
Engaging Suzy as your life coach, you will be inspired by her enthusiasm, success and happiness, and then learn to create your own.
Suzy offers one off sessions, courses and group work with teams.

I'm working on Ruby gem for Databox API and I needed a way to test it locally under different versions of Ruby.
Databox is the mobile dashboard for executives and the most advanced business intelligence tool for smart-phones. Basically they provide endpoint to witch you can push your data and their wonderful client will display it perfectly on your smart-phone. Check out their homepage for more information.
The easies way is to use different Rubies with different gemsets and then execute RSpec inside it.
Then write scripts that looks somethings like this.
The Bash script will loop over SETS and execute RSpec for each set. The output will look something like this.
P.s.: If you are using Travis for your CI. You can easily add this to your .travis.yml. and Travis will run your code with different versions of Ruby each time you push your code. Read more about this functionality under choosing Ruby versions and implementations to test against.

A woman was horrified to find her father’s grave in Coventry covered with a huge pile of soil.
Ian Hunter’s grave and the neighbouring resting place at Canley Garden cemetery and crematorium were left under a mound of earth around 4ft high after workers dug another burial plot.
Mr Hunter’s daughter Amanda said the family keep the grave in an “immaculate” condition and were shocked by what they saw when they visited the cemetery on Wednesday night.
Is this the worst parking in Coventry?
Amanda told the Telegraph that there was space nearby that the soil could have been placed instead.
She said: “My mum and my niece went up there to water the plants and they have completely buried my father’s grave and the grave next to his.
“It’s absolutely disgraceful, I am horrified. It looks like they have been completely buried.
“My mum said she has never seen so much earth, I am going to kick off.
“They just cannot do this, I have never seen anybody’s grave here with soil dumped on it.
“Why would you put it on people’s graves, especially when there is empty space nearby? Maybe we would understand if they were derelict but I don’t think that would even be okay.
The family are due to mark the anniversary of Ian’s death and his birthday.
Amanda said: “We’ve been making sure it’s immaculate. My dad’s first grandchild is on its way and he’s going to be named after him.
“We have never not kept the grave tidy, we go every night. My mother is heartbroken.
“You cannot even see the grave now, there’s so much soil.
“I didn’t even know it was my dad’s grave when I saw the photos.
Amanda Hunter at her father's grave with her mother, Joy Lydster.
“My mum is 73 and we’ve spent so much time tending to the grave, we put fresh plants on there and we’ve only just paid to have it reset, because it’s 17 years this year.
After speaking to staff at the cemetery, Amanda claims she has been told where her dad is buried is classed as a lawn area and this is why the area was used to dump the soil.
She added: “He has been here for 17 years and we have never been told that.
“They say it was on our paperwork but we weren’t aware and it’s never happened before. There were other options but they chose to put it there and that’s why it’s upset me so much.
Amanda Hunter is pictured at her fathers grave in Canley Crematorium, CAnley, Coventry. When they dug a grave next to his the soil was dumped on his grave, destroying all the planting in the process.
A spokesperson for Coventry City Council said: “Part of the process of creating a grave may, on occasion, result in soil temporarily being placed on a neighbouring grave until the interment has been carried out, as the soil needs to be located as close to the excavation as possible.
“We do appreciate that this can be distressing for people visiting a family grave and we make every effort to avoid this where possible. The grave is restored to its proper condition as soon as possible.

20 percent of women will suffer from depression. Many seek treatment from primary care providers, but up to 50 percent may go unrecognized and more go untreated. Recognition and treatment of depressive disorders in pregnancy and during the postpartum period is critical for the healthy outcomes of both the mother and infant. Postpartum depression is identified as a major depressive disorder with postpartum onset. It is a major depressive episode that usually begins within the first four weeks following delivery. It can be extremely variable in both severity and duration. Symptoms include the following: fatigue, changes in appetite or sleep, dysphoric mood, loss of interest in usually pleasurable activities, psychomotor agitation or retaliation, recurrent thoughts of death/suicide, feelings of worthlessness or guilt (especially failure at motherhood), and excessive anxiety over the child’s health.
Because of depressive episodes, up to 32 percent of women may alter their future childbearing plans by resorting to either adoption, sterilization or abortion.

UPDATE: Kashrut is under Rabbi Dolinger of Rhode Island. See below.
In a recent announcement on their blog, the farm-to-table dairy / vegetarian Boston-based restaurant chain, Clover Food Lab, is becoming kosher. This includes all of their kitchens and food trucks. In fact, Clover’s HUB restaurant (Cambridge), food trucks, and large catering orders are already certified kosher; all other restaurants will be kosher within two weeks.
Clover has a half dozen restaurants and another 6+ food trucks in the metro Boston area. Use the map below to locate their restaurants and food trucks.
Additionally, Clover has been getting prepared foods into Massachusetts Whole Foods stores, which with the kashering of their catering kitchens mean that too will be kosher later this year!
Clover is kosher certified under the supervision Rabbi Barry Dolinger of Congregation Beth Shalom in Rhode Island.

Love comes around the corner and can come up with the strangest ideas. At some point, these ideas can be translated into different circumstances. For some, the scale to which it transcends in may be minuscule. But for others, it can be as grand as the fireworks in the sky. That is why there is no way you cannot deny creativity when it comes to weddings.
In the most festive event in a couples lives, everything has to be perfect to a point that you could not have written it any better in a storybook. But these days, the term perfect has its different set of meanings. Depending on the couples preferences, the perfect wedding can be perceived in different ways. And for such, one cannot just deny that creativity eventually takes its course.
For instance, look at the wedding attires. Sure, a gown and a tux would look nice. But it's so common already. Nobody wants to see the same thing over and over again! It's time to change it up a bit. Make the groom wear something elegant but in a way, edgy. Go for a suit that is not monotonic in color. Or in this case, any color that is not black. Don't wear a bow. Wear a tie instead.
For the bride, it's time for something more edgy as well. A cute cocktail dress may work in this case. Though none of the suggestions above are actually quite different from the theme, keep in mind that you are not actually changing it up. Instead, you are adding to the regular twist that comes along with weddings. Keep in mind that the solemnity of the wedding still has to be there no matter what.
Speaking of solemnity, the song that you choose can also put things in perspective. Some people tend to go with the regular wedding hymn when the bride walks down the aisle and then forget that there are much better choices out there in terms of music. Explore a bit and see what you can play instead. For example, Gravity by John Mayer is relatively new at this point in time when it comes to wedding songs. Why not try something like that? Or in other cases, you can go about with other songs that seem to possess that solemn hymn that couples are bound to be looking for. Take the time to look into what you can do for your wedding.

Is it just me or do people consider intelligence to be a highly desirable trait? What I do know is that some people can be seen smarter due to their daily habits and attitude. Are you smarter than the rest of us?
Why is it hard you ask? Well the issue is that people have egos and insecurities and being surrounded with people who are smarter than you can make you feel super bad about yourself.
So, what can you do to reap the benefits from a team of super achievers without feeling too bad about yourself? How do you know if someone is smarter? Perhaps you are smarter and not really aware of some of the traits you have?
I’m sure some of these might sound familiar as you go through life like being messy, adapting to all kinds of situations easily, having an open mind about things, admitting when you don’t know something, you worry a lot, you are a Night Owl, you are very curious, your jokes are slightly better than everyone else and you enjoy hanging out with yourself. Just a few traits of intelligent people.
So, without further-ado, here are some tips and traits that might help you distinguish smart people from the not so smart people or perhaps you would just like to take them in so you seem smarter, who knows? Let me know in the comments section below and enjoy my tips that could help along with some habits you might want to learn to give you that smarter edge.
Curiouser and curiouser – so says Alice in Wonderland.
And like Alice, highly intelligent people have a wonderfully childlike curiosity about the world around them. All they want to know is how things work, what makes people tick and things like how the universe came into existence. They ask questions, always. The thirst for knowledge is never fully quenched.
Smart people act on the questions their brain immediately asks them when they are presented with an object or situation. They are genuinely interested in the size, color, shape and meaning of everything around them.
Curiosity: a person who recognises when they don’t know something and uses that as a cue to seek more information, is probably an intelligent person.
2. Become king or queen of questions!
You will notice that when you are surrounded by smart people, your first impulse might be to hide your ignorance. This might come back to bite you because if you don’t ask questions, you’ll never learn. I was always taught from a small age; the only stupid question, is the one not asked.
As much as asking a question is good, considered intelligence is simply also the ability to remember things well. Don’t ask questions that were already answered. Observing something or paying attention is not enough. The trick is to retain that information. Practice, practices, practice… and soon you will develop new techniques to learn and retain new information faster.
The best advise here is that if you have been hired or even become the boss, have something to offer the team and focus on your strengths, rather than your lack of knowledge.
Also, learn from your mistakes and know that smart people reflect on errors all the time. Everything is a matter of trial and error and have you actually heard an intelligent person complaining? They don’t because they reflect and learn and move forward.
Also, how else would you know what your strengths are? A baby cannot walk without falling, right? Errors are how the brain learns. When you make decisions, neurons are activated and if those decisions were wrong, the activated neurons are suppressed.
It doesn’t really take that much of a smart person to realise when a decision is wrong or were your strengths and weaknesses lie.
Becoming comfortable among smart people isn’t something that happens overnight. Getting to know and learn from truly smart people, can be a very lengthy process. So, don’t think you will fit in right away. Take your time, get to know them and learn.
Taking your time can also help you re-evaluate your views. What comes to mind when I mention intelligent famous people? Did you say scientists? You mean like Albert Einstein? Did you know he altered his theory of general relativity? Which means he took his time to re-evaluate his work and efforts.
Train your brain to take its time and adapt to new situations and information – you will only get smarter with time.
5.	Don’t worry so much!
People who take risks without thinking things thought don’t always come across as the most intelligent.
People who worry constantly about the past and the future tend to be deep thinkers who take calculated risks based on the facts they’ve spent a lot of time weighing up on.
A smart person is aware that the average human being runs into several pointless distractions every day that only serve a negative purpose in their life. They know how to ignore this and focus on using the best of their abilities to be productive for their own well-being.
You might not be as smart as the rest but there is still one sure factor you have 100% under your control. You might not be able to control whether you are the smartest person in the room but what you can control, is how prepared you are.
You might not look smarter but you can always work harder than someone else. My secret is that you work extremely hard at your craft until you fit in. Work ethic is everything!
We all know someone who likes to say how great they are, but intelligent people know that their actions speak louder than words. If you want to be taken seriously and respected by co-workers and friends, let your hard work prove your worth.
This one sounds simple, doesn’t it? This is one of the most punted tips out there. You might not out-expert the experts but if you pick up a diversity of books, you can contribute that key piece of advice from the left field knowledge base. If you try to absorb enough information, you could contribute a perspective that is different without being completely idiotic.
Nobody achieved anything monumental just waiting for it to happen. Making smart decisions takes effort. You need to read, do research and work hard to achieve your goals.
The more you compete the less you are learning and accomplishing. The day you accept the fact that there are smarter people than you out there, is the day learning becomes much easier. Don’t compete, contemplate.
What’s more, working hard and making your own success is the key secret to happiness.
"The greatest glory in living life is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall".
I hope these tips help you and if you have any more, please feel free to mention them below in the comments section. Take care and be blessed.
