Ian was the grizzled old leader of a scratch band of young neophytes , and together they had the whole place a'rockin ' till the wee small hours . Late in February a seasoned , well-practiced , race-hardened , swashbuckling , supremely confident Italian team began its series against little ol ' New Zealand , who had not yet sailed a single race . We assume that you have completed the laboratory introduction and ' An introduction to wordprocessing ' since the module will involve experimenting with text / type styles , formatting and page layouts . Also , as it was " so close " she included a short trip to the south of France to visit her brother Steve who moved his family there in January to run a small village pub . We looked around the museum of the notorious District Six , a thriving multiracial district that was razed by the apartheid government to the world 's outrage and is still a wasteland 30 years on because everything that they tried to build there disappeared quietly overnight in surreptitious " midnight shopping " expeditions by ex-residents . Ian was in Alberta , Calgary and nearby ( in the mountains ) Canmore , with a flying visit trip to Edmonton and to see our friends in Camrose . The first , in March , took in New York ; a conference at Princeton University in New Jersey ; seminars at NEC Research and Drexel University in Philadelphia ( where who should turn up but Robert Aish , a friend from Essex days thirty years ago ) ; a " distinguished visiting lecture " at Texas A & M University ; a visit to ex-colleague Lloyd Smith ( the man who originally hired Ian at Waikato ) at New Mexico Highlands University ; Grand Falls , Colorado ; and the annual Data Compression Conference at Snowbird , a ski resort outside Salt Lake City . With Ian she did the world-famous Crypt Lake hike , which starts with a refreshing boat trip across the windswept waters of Waterton Lake to land on the other side , climbs steeply past Hell Roaring Falls , carries on for miles and miles up a glaciated side valley , switchbacks interminably and very steeply up to a 20 metre tunnel in the rock through which you have to crawl ( leave your claustrophobia behind on this trip ! She agreed with some trepidation , not being used to this age group , However , the kids were amazingly responsive and a good time was had by all . She is now the Visual Merchandiser ( VM to the cognoscenti ) responsible for about 25 stores ranging from Sydney all the way to way south of Canberra . Using the techniques developed in the ' Intro to Database Management Systems ' and ' Advanced Database Management Techniques ' modules , you can then create your own database . " In August Pam turned fifty , and we had the brilliant idea of spending the day trail riding . " international " event that is always held in the US - - it is unusual ( unique , actually ) for a non-American to be in charge . And the Waikato Sympathy Orchestra ( they hate it when Ian calls it that ) has been going from strength to strength , with gigs at the local winery ( Sunday lunch and opera songs ) , and the local Christmas festival ( Hallelujah chorus with a choir of 1500 ) , as well as some very challenging concerts of " serious " music ( Dvorak 's non-New-World symphonies , listen out for them , they're fantastic ) .
