Like most of us, I keep a number of secrets safely in my breast. There's the one about liking country music, for example. Or my wish to shout to the rafters that Donald Rumsfeld's "There are known knowns" speech was the most brilliantly cogent utterance by a politician in modern times and that he was therefore shamefully traduced for giving tongue to it. And I never made it through the first episode of The Wire.
But buried most deeply is the fact that ever since childhood I have always got a little bit excited about budget day. I think originally it was the idea of having all that money to play with. Imagine being the person who gets to allocate not just millions, but millions of millions! The first time I heard the word "billions" I became a little dizzy with delight. For the next few years I tuned in hoping to hear more words that had hitherto been confined to comic books and playground tests of the outer limits of the human imagination - zillions! No, kajillions! No, kabillionzillions! Of course, we never dreamed that, by the time we grew up, mucking about with millions would not be the sole province of the chancellor of the exchequer but that of anybody who was prepared to throw on a suit, hurry down to the square mile and invent credit default swaps. Foolish children.
The excitement has somehow endured into adulthood even though, as a non-smoking, non-driving, non-procreating, not-much-drinking, non-capital-gaining, non-inheriting, non-small-or-medium enterprising member of society - in fact, I think technically I'm a mineral - the budget usually has a pretty minimal effect on my life. I thought getting married would make things, fiscally at least, more exciting, but it turns out I was misinformed. It just means there is an extra person in the house to help lose all your receipts.
But this year ... this year, things are different. For this year we have a chancellor without any money. Not a scrap. Everyone should be excited, for it means that anything could happen. He could drop the battered red briefcase to the ground, scrunch his eyes closed and start clapping his hands feverishly and chanting, "I believe in fairies! I do! I believe in fairies!" He could make it to the dispatch box and stand there for three hours, hands clapped to his face, his mouth a black "O" of horror while younger backbenchers show the benefits of 70s progressive education by miming begging bowls and mounting a series of "austerity tableaux" behind him. Or maybe he and Gordon will dress up as Steptoe and Son and do the whole thing as a double act - a mini-circus to distract us from the fact that there is no bread. Perhaps they will pawn the woolsack to provide a series of special effects and disappear at the end in a puff of smoke, never to be seen again.
But what I'm really hoping for is that Darling will get about five minutes into the traditionally anti-climactic (to me, at least - I am, remember, sitting at home with a bottle of cava and a variety of cheesy nibbles and making a day of it) dreary spiel before being elbowed aside by Gordon who can no longer stand the thwarting of his true nature. "Get oot ma way, man!" he will cry, inexplicably turning from son of the Kirkcaldy manse to a Glaswegian bouncer, "I cannae listen tae yer nonsense any longer! Ahm setting aside yon executant nature of today's business and making it injunctive. Ye goat a fuckin' problem wi' that, I'll see yez ootside wi' a spanner later." Whereupon he will deliver unto us the budget for which his prudent, parsimonious soul has surely been yearning. Waste, ski trips, colour television and upgrading mobile phones will be outlawed. Each family to be allocated an annual number of lavatory flushings. Child benefit to be withdrawn and the money used for mass sterilisation, starting with the English. Laughing to be taxed at 65%. Nobody to be allowed to purchase or eat jam and butter together. "Pick one! And not the jam!"
And the strange thing is that, in a nation that still believes that the advent of the jammy doughnut was an immoral advance that would eventually end in the west's collapse under the weight of its own decadence, will breathe a heartfelt sigh of relief. We will work willingly in black and white and deal in real florins and farthings once again. The millions and kajillions will be gladly banished once more to the lurid comic strips and childish imaginations from which they came and where they should, for all our sakes, this time firmly stay.
I am, you may have realised by now, at least eight parts retired colonel, but at the risk of completing the metamorphosis, I must share with you the discombobulation I felt during a shopping trip last weekend. I had gone out to buy a pair of high heels for a party and I found a wide selection of candidates in every shop I went into. This, however, is only good news if you do not know that I take a junior size 13 in shoes, which is roughly the size of the average six-year-old's feet. Every shop stocked an array of platform, wedge, kitten and a variety of other heels for which I do not have the exact names to hand. None of them was under two inches high - which, trust me, puts a noticeable amount of strain on a tiny foot and is more than enough to alter my comfort level and the speed at which I can walk. God knows what kind of impediment it creates to a six-year-old's attempts at dashing round the playground. It occurred to me, as I looked round at the children strapping on the footwear that I was contemplating for my party, that we have arrived at a point where it is almost impossible, without Herculean effort, to dress even the youngest girls non-sexually. I am almost glad that it is now only pipe and slippers that beckon me.

A clinical simulation lab was completed in time for the first cohort of Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) students beginning in semester 1, 2016.
The lab is the practical learning hub for students enrolled in the graduate entry course, based at the University of Sydney Westmead campus.
Nursing students undertake more than 800 hours of clinical practice, in addition to professional learning and lectures at the Westmead precinct during the two-year course.
"In the clinical simulation lab, students will have the opportunity to learn a range of clinical skills such as hand decontamination, wound dressings, catheterisation, medication administration and intravenous therapy" said Dr Jacqueline Bloomfield, Associate Dean (Education) Sydney Nursing School, before the lab was launched.
"Students are supervised in the lab, but are also encouraged to engage in independent learning through practice sessions".
The clinical simulation lab complements the already impressive teaching expertise at Westmead.
"The Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry have been at Westmead for over 25 years. It's really exciting that nursing can now join our colleagues in multidisciplinary approaches to improving health and health care at this precinct" said Sydney Nursing School Dean Donna Waters.
"The cohort of nursing students studying at Westmead will be offered the same world-class teaching as that already offered at Sydney Nursing School's Mallet Street campus" said Professor Waters.

April 11, 2016 Pack O Game: one pouch, 8 games the size of packs of gum
I'm a sucker for highly portable games. Hive Pocket (paid link) is one of my all-time favorite games, period — and it just happens to be pocket-sized.[1] I also dig Love Letter (paid link), which supports four players and, at least in the US, was more or less solely responsible for making microgames a thing.

We like playing board games as a family, and it's always a fun challenge to find age-appropriate board games that all of us will enjoy. It's easier to find age-appropriate games that only my daughter, Lark, will enjoy, and we play those, too — but the sweet spot is when everyone is genuinely engaged. Looking […]

Back in January, Epidiah Ravachol issued a fun challenge: Play 51 games in 2015.

I've been curious about solo (or solitaire) board gaming for a while now, and while I recognize that it likely sounds weird to folks who aren't into board games — and, honestly, it still seemed a bit odd even to me until I tried it — it really isn't much different than sitting down to […]

HANOVER, Ind. – The Yellow Jacket women's basketball team traveled to Hanover to take on the Panthers in a pivotal rematch of one of the best games in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference this season. DC won the first meeting on December 8 in an 85-80 overtime thriller. The Jackets were unable to complete the season sweep on Saturday, as Hanover pulled out an 88-76 win over DC.
The two squads began the game by picking up right where they left off from the showdown in Defiance, as the first half featured a highly-entertaining 20 minutes of play. Both sides came out firing in the opening stanza, as the teams traded baskets back-and-forth throughout much of the half.
Neither team was able to build any substantial lead nor momentum, as the largest advantage from either side in the opening frame was four points. There were a total of nine lead changes and five ties throughout the first.
In the waning seconds before the half, DC's Maggie Neanen grabbed an offensive rebound off a miss from Kim Bingley and hoisted up a last second shot that fell at the horn to give the Purple and Gold a 40-38 lead going into the break.
Defiance's Kim Comden was nearly impossible to contain in the first 20 minutes, as the senior scored 18 point on 8-12 shooting to carry the Purple and Gold attack.
The Yellow Jackets came out of the halftime break and controlled the first 10 minutes of the final frame, as Defiance outscored the Panthers 22-13 to open up its largest lead of the day at 62-51.
Hanover refused to go away, as the Panthers quickly ripped off a 9-0 run to make the contest a single-possession game and cut the DC lead to just two points with less than nine minutes to play.
Defiance responded with a trey from Neanen and a layup courtesy of Hannah Harshman to increase the Jacket lead back to seven. However, Hanover's Courtney Prater was not to be outdone, as the senior scored six unanswered points to trim the Purple and Gold advantage to just one point at 67-66 with 6:50 remaining on the clock.
The Jackets desperately tried to cling to its lead but was unable to do so, as the Panthers completed the comeback with a layup from Alicia Hopkins with over five minutes left in the game to make the score 71-70 in favor of Hanover. This was the first Panther lead of the second half, a lead the home team would not relinquish for the remainder of the game.
Hanover went on to close the game on a 19-6 spurt to seal the win at 88-76 and split the regular season series with the Yellow Jackets.
The Purple and Gold finished with three players in double figures on the afternoon. Comden led the way for Defiance with 22 points on 10-20 shooting from the floor, including 2-3 from distance. The senior added nine rebounds and three blocks to her performance.
Other Jackets to score 10 or more were Bingley and Erica King. Bingley matched a career-high with 14 points by going 4-7 from the field and 4-4 from the charity stripe. King added 12 points in the losing effort, as the junior did most of her damage from three-point land by connecting on three triples.
The loss is Defiance's third in conference play and drops its HCAC record to 7-3 on the season, while the Jackets' season record moves to 10-7. The Purple and Gold remain on the road, as the squad travels to Anderson for an HCAC matchup against the Ravens on Wednesday, January 23 at 7:30 p.m.

View from the webcam along the Riviera
Beach umbrellas open, smiles, hospitality, free wifi, quality structures and services at unbeatable prices: the coastline most loved by Italians, and others, will put its best foot forward and invites you to spend a relaxing vacation along the 110 km of beaches from Cattolica to Comacchio.
Bellaria Igea Marina
The calm waves, that softly give way to the sand and the welcoming bathing establishment are the perfect invitation to dive into the sea at one of the most beautiful beaches in the Rimini province.
For those who have yet to see it, this is a glimpse of one part of the beach in Rimini, well taken care of and well outfitted with lounge chairs and sunbeds. And those who reach the first bathing establishments will see the majestic Ferris Wheel.
At the end of viale Ceccarini, there is piazzale Roma, an arena hosting the most prestigious concerts of the "Green Pearl". A magical place during Pink Night, in the company of the biggest Italian music stars!
Where Romagna meets the foothills of the Le Marche region, the Queen of the Adriatic sits, given this name for the beauty of the landscape and seaside of this ancient fishing town..
The beach of soft sand sloping towards the sea with its umbrellas and chairs welcomes families with its calm and relaxing atmosphere dedicated to hospitality.
Piazza del Popolo, the heart of downtown, surrounded by ancient UNESCO monuments with their splendid mosaics, is ready to welcome citizens and tourists alike for the great "Ravenna Festival".
Hugged by pinewoods and ancient salt mines, this ancient seaside town and city of salt, a true natural oasis full of bird-life, with serene beaches, is reflected in the calm waters of the canal among the nets and smells of the sea.
Milano Marittima
One hundred years ago a group of people from Milan accepted the challenge of Giuseppe Palanti to build a Milan beach, giving life to an elegant location with a verdant pinewood, fashion shops and cutting-edge locals.
Porto Corsini
The camera pointed towards the beach of the Ravenna Lido and the Adriatic sea, near the old pinewoods: in real time you can keep a "vigilant watch" on the sea conditions. In July, this beach hosts Spiagge Soul and the festival Women on the open sea.
The view from the webcam starts in Piazza Duomo, and runs over the ancient scalloped roofs of this city of art, sweeping over historic buildings showing the streets that lead up to the Estense Castle, the symbol of Ferrara.

I have never gone past The Bank Job, whether on foot or by car, without feeling drawn to its theatrical setting. I look at the people sitting in the window, without focusing on their faces, as if they're part of a play and I just want to join them. I hadn't actually gone in for a while though and it's already celebrated its third birthday.
As you walk in everything changes. I sit on my barstool and I notice the crowd around me dancing and having a good time and all that stuff about being in a play goes out of the window. I still like the low lighting, the very polite waiting staff, the bare bricks on the walls, the cartoon characters on the walls with their huge eyes and the overall vibe. So much so that I can forget those questionable twists in their cocktails.
The bar team headed by Dimitris Tsalas (pictured) includes Thanos Tsekouras and Konstantinos Stefanakis. I try the Tutank-jamon, made with Highland Park single malt infused with jamon, thyme honey and just to be bald I choose the option with chocolate bitters. The cocktail is served in a classy, old fashioned glass but choosing the chocolate bitters proves to be a bad idea as instead of adding sour notes, it just covers the jamon which was the element I found the most intriguing. On the other hand the Spicy Crusta, a take on the classic Brandy Crusta but actually closer to a Cointreau based Sidecar, with Herradura bianco tequila, chilli, cinnamon, lime (instead of lemon) juice, liqueur and orange peel was refreshing, with good acidity levels. The Kentucky mule (Woodford bourbon, lime, home ginger beer) was overpowered by the vanilla syrup which took away what a classic bourbon mule is supposed to be. It made me wonder whether there is really a need to mess with the classics, especially when the new version has nothing to bring to the table. It may be just me though as other than that, I would happily return to The Bank Job. I love the space, the uplifting atmosphere, the happy faces behind the bar, their 'guest bartender' evenings, the good soundtrack and the fact that you can enjoy your drink and actually hear what the person next to you is saying.

Before leaving for Flinders Island, I had researched the possibility of sailing and found that it was possible with Furneaux Freight. What seemed to be a good idea turned into a scenario full of complications such as sailing on the tide out of Bridport. Compared with the $460 return airfare, the meagre $105 for the sailing is quite a bargain. But I had to get to Bridport first.
Furneaux Freight: Keeping Flinders Island Running
by Roger Findlay
Having chosen to fly from Melbourne, I was more determined to see the relatively small Furneaux Freight vessel arrive. Jeanette isn't just shoes and handbags! No, she also became quite excited as the dot on the horizon (Matthew Flinders) entered the deep water harbour of Lady Barron.
Not knowing the exact time of arrival, we were at the harbour early. There wasn't a lot of action so we entered the office belonging to the Tasmanian Ports Authority. It was right on smoko but the three guys were so helpful. For immunity from regulations, I carried a hi-vis vest and presented an innocent face! Not only did they inform us of the time of arrival; they also advised us on where to buy fresh scale fish and crays. Local knowledge you can't beat.
Lady Barron: Flinders Island Comes Alive
Close to arrival time, the activity increased. Lady Barron came alive. Those waiting for their supplies and provisions were anxious for their delivery to be first off the ship. The Roberts stock and station representative was hoping for a quick turnaround so that his Port Welshpool-bound cattle could be loaded.
Short of being asked to perform the duties of longshoremen, we felt actively involved in tying the vessel, lowering the off-ramp and unloading the freight. As with many things, all did not go to plan. A delay and frustration was caused by a bundle of lengthy steel that couldn't be fork-lifted past the vessel's vertical gunwale. At this point, I was happy to be a spectator and not the poor sod climbing over slippery salt-sprayed steel to find a solution.
Furneaux Freight: Essential Supplies for Flinders Island
A mainland city dweller would have no idea of the importance of this weekly ritual. Without it, the people of Flinders Island wouldn't have fuel, new or second hand cars, building materials and most foods. Oh, I forgot grog and nail varnish!
The unloading/loading operation was expected to take about six hours and it was time for us to lunch at the nearby Furneaux Tavern. From the window we watched the activity on the harbour.
We had placed our lunch order and Jeanette had requested grilled, crumbed whiting. After a few minutes the professional looking chef appeared in his tall hat. He asked if the order could be changed and apologised for not having bread crumbs. Then he pointed towards the harbour and stated that the he was waiting for the crumbs to be delivered from the Furneaux Freight boat! Now we may come from Gerogery West where it takes two hours to watch 60 Minutes, but…

The increasing availability of old TV shows on DVD has made the usefulness of a nostalgia-fest plus clip job like CBS' latest, The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited, even more pointless. Why sit through an hour of some of our most cherished television personalities valiantly attempting to triumph over the inevitabilities of age and an even creakier script, when you can buy or rent the sparkling original version of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-66)?
The premise for the special is oddly bleak: Van Dyke's Rob Petrie and Rose Marie's Sally are asked by their old employer Alan Brady (Carl Reiner) to become his comedy writers again…and compose a punchy eulogy for him before he dies. Mary Tyler Moore's Laura notes that Rob and Sally haven't worked for Alan in 40 years, and never much liked the tyrannical boss to begin with. So why do it? Money: Alan's offering a lot of it, and Rob wants Laura to have the dance studio in Manhattan she's been dreaming of owning. Sally observes, "We don't have any integrity…remember, we're television writers."
Well, once upon a time, Rob and Sally and their now-dead partner, Buddy (Morey Amsterdam, who passed away in 1996), did have integrity; they fought for their jokes with the usually unseen Alan and more often with his stooge-henchman, the also deceased Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon died in 1984). The script, written by Reiner — the original show's creator — turns what amounts to another episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" into a cynical reinterpretation of the entire series. The tone is sometimes inadvertently brutal: "I went to Gregory Peck's funeral," snarls Alan, "and that's the kind of funeral I want!" Sheesh: poor Peck, reduced to a punchline.
Also making appearances are Rob and Laura's neighbor Millie (Ann Guilbert, last seen on TV on "The Nanny" and looking so much older than Moore that a Botox joke and a line about Laura's younger age had to be added) and Jerry Van Dyke as Rob's brother Stacy. There's also an exceedingly odd solo appearance by Larry Mathews, who played the Petries' son, Richie; he talks into a phone for a few minutes at the top of the show and is never seen again.
The last half of "Revisited" is dominated by snippets of classic "Van Dyke Show" moments, including a terrific montage of Buddy's bald jokes aimed at Mel. Seeing these glowing black-and-white segments just makes you want to catch a rerun or snag a DVD for some good times, rather than these ambivalent ones. "Dick Van Dyke Show": A+; "Revisited": C-

Crazy Legs look to follow up from their Club Kelly EP with this Tech and Club inspired EP from Sega Bodega 'Ess B'.
The first single taken from 'Ess B' is a collaboration track with London based artist Shy Girl entitled CC. It is accompanied by an official video, which sees duotone visuals perfectly capturing the very sub heavy b-line against an in your face top line and vocals.
The track 3310, a reference we can assume from the accompanied artwork, to the classic Nokia is perhaps the first track we've heard in a while, that we've been dying to get our hands on.

A Multi-Screen Smartwatch Might Actually Be a Brilliant Idea
What sets the Doppio concept-designed and engineered by Teddy Seyed, Xing-Dong Yang, and Daniel Vogel-apart from a device like the Nintendo DS is that the layout of its two screens can be constantly re-arranged to facilitate different uses. Rotating one of its screens 180-degrees would switch it from displaying a clock face to music playback controls, while placing them side-by-side would see the two displays working together as a single larger screen.

I wanted to take the time to send a huge shout out to all of our Facebook family and friends. In the three years I've been a part of the roleplay and now indie author world, I have met so many wonderful people. Most importantly, I found the love of my life, my V.L. In October, we'll celebrate our third anniversary as a couple. That makes my heart happy. That happiness overflows as we are able to do what we love, write love stories that touch the hearts of our readers.
Facebook has also allowed me to meet some of the most supportive and beautiful people in the world...yes...the world. Three and half years ago, if someone had told me I'd be a published author, I'd have laughed myself sensless. When they added my writing partner would be born and bred UK, my cover artist would be a lovely soul from down under, and my editor and beta readers would span the globe, I'd have offered them a straight jacket and some "happy pills." I would have been wrong...and that is a blessing I realized on Saturday.
I went to speak at an author's luncheon. I had to tell a roomful of readers how I got started and how I worked. I was nervous and then Lachi showed up with his winning smile, jaunty stroll and the confidence only a vampire king can possess. I did apologize to the assembled that he was only in my head and that they couldn't see the beautiful David Gandy look alike as he was downright sexy! As they laughed, giggled, and shifted in their seats thinking I was a french fry short of a Happy Meal, I realized that I wasn't just representing myself. I was there to represent the hardwork and dedication of my beautiful angel and the wonderful extended family we share on Facebook. As V.L. and I have constantly said, we would not have the success we've enjoyed without all of YOU.
It's not just that you buy the book, or leave reviews...although those help tremendously and Please Please Please don't stop....did I say please?? Okay, just makign sure...anddddd....back to the subject.....it's the constant words of encouragement, the way you make us laugh, yes even the pokes....they brighten our day or night as the case may be. You deserve your own round of applause and if you listen right not...you can hear me clapping, stomping and whistling as I cheer for you.
Thank you. Two very small words to convey a wealth of feeling. All my love.
Laziel baby, I love you always. Congratulations, I'm so proud to be your writing partner and your life partner.

R.I.H. DOMA...Rest in Hell...that about sums it up. As a writer of M/M erotic romance and as a member of the LGBT community, I must say it was with great relief and supreme joy that I watched and listened as DOMA was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. In Grand Slam, Spencer escaped rural Alabama to live in a northern state where gay marriage was more accepted. He found true love in the form of one gorgeous CPA, Brock Kinckaid. I enjoyed writing this story, enjoyed seeing these men get their HEA.
Now, I am more overjoyed that many Americans will now share in this same joy. Being able to marry the person that you love is a right no American should have ever been denied. Our country was founded by Pilgrims seeking freedom from religious persecution. They left their familes, their country and all they knew to find a world where they could live as they chose. Every Thanksgiving we celebrate their strength and bravery in forging ahead to a new world. On Wednesday, June 26th, a large number of Americans once again found that freedom.
Sadly, the fight is not over. Only 13 states allow same sex unions. Like Spencer, I live in rural Alabama, a state that does not recognize its citizens' unalienable right to marry the person they choose. As most of my friends know and as my family knows, and thankfully embraces, I am engaged to my writing partner, VL Moon. The Supreme Court's decision gives us hope that we can live in the US as a couple the same as every other American; however, that will not happen in Alabama. At least, not yet. The fight continues in the United States, the fight for equality in ALL US States.
So, Rest In HELL,DOMA, it's where you belong. With luck, the States' statues banning same sex marriage will soon join you in the fiery pits. I for one will dance on the graves of injustice.

So this is the first time ever for me....It's snowing outside, I'm curled up in my ohh not so sexy pj's after laughing so hard at keagan Kruze trying to be an agony Aunt i just had to go to his post and play. I'm so lucky...I'm warm, loved beyond words and happier than i have ever been.
The mayhem of the last few days has been intense. Author pages have been made. Twitter account set up, a website to blog and promote in and a million and one people and friends to thank. What an amazing journey it's been. I truely never thought i would see the day something co written by me would ever make the grade. But here i am, green...new to the mass panic that my first published work has bought me. I'm dizzy with elation and wish i could personally thank and hug everyone of my wonderfully kind and thoughtful friends. To the amazing people where i work...Yeah you crazy loons...you are a riot. You make every day great and keep a smile on my face through even the darkest days. I love you for that and for being there for me along with my family who have always been there to cheer me on. The unstanding from my amazing two boys who just roll their eyes and think ....Gawds what the hell is she up to now. I love you. Even though we drive each other crazy at times (Mostly because i huff & puff to much).
But for the most part it's all down to a small group of the most amazing people who are more than just friends. Because without fate bringing us together I would never have been brave enough to take that first shakey step into the world of story writing. You gave me confidence, guided me and supported me and at times damn well kicked my arse. We've come along way together, through good times and bad, and we're still here, a testiment to real friendship and what it means to us as a group. I don't need to name you...each one of you know exactly who you are and what you mean to me.
I can hear J T as she laughs in the background and the sound of it makes me smile. We're laughing so hard and yeah...you guessed it. People are getting stabbed!! Keagan...crazy as ever!!! Makes the funniest damn agony aunt ever. But i love her laugh and so want to hear it ringing through our home as we sit together and write. It will happen. Karma's on our side. She is my muse, my inspiration and the reason i am dizzy. She cracks that whip and boy do i jump! I'm an author...a writer of the insanity that lives in my mind...a little scared..maybe, a little green...hell yes. But loving every second and wondering what comes next?

Phillip Island Australia is a great place to visit! You come here for
the wildlife and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, in my opinion, parts of it have
become a little too touristy. There's now everything from ten pin
bowling, helicopter rides to crazy golf, so it has lost its edge for me.
But even saying all of that, I think it's still worth a visit - especially if you have kids!
It is approximately 140km East of Melbourne. It's another great stop off along your Sydney to Melbourne Road Trip or longer East Coast Australia road trip.
The island itself is 24km by 9km. The best way to get here is by car. It's well signposted off the main Monash Freeway (M420 is the exit) and then there is a bridge that takes you straight onto the island.
You can get day tours from Melbourne of course.
It's not actually too far from the Mornington Peninsula and therefore the Great Ocean Drive. So you could incorporate a day trip to Phillip Island Australia as part of this trip if you so wished.
If you are on the Mornington Peninsula, you can actually get a passenger ferry across and they run ferries to coincide with the Penguin Parade too.
This is a great place to experience some up close and personal time with Penguins Koalas and Pelicans And on top of all that, you get to see some lovely sandy beaches with a rugged coastline. You can go further and enjoy a guided tour of the Grand Prix site, or visit the island's chocolate factory, but for me, it's all about the scenery and the animals
Meet the Penguins The Phillip Island nature Park is where you get to see most of the animals. The reason this is so great is that they are all in their natural habitat - this is not a zoo. So, you have to patiently wait until sunset and then you get to see these very cute penguins waddle out of the water and up the beach to the safety of their sand dunes. You'll find more information here on the Cowes Penguin Parade I'd recommend buying your tickets in advance as in the summer there can be queues.
Koala Conservation Centre (near Cowes) This gives you the chance to see Koalas in their natural habitat. You get to walk along boardwalks which are at the same levels as the tall trees so you get excellent viewing potential. It's seeing these lovely creatures in the wild. The above experience is very different to the Maru Koala and Animal Park. Here, it's more like a small zoo with a chance to hand feed kangaroos and have your photo taken with a Koala. The Maru Animal Park encourages patting of Koalas . It depends how close you want to get to those Koalas.
Pelicans (San Remo) The San Remo Fishing Port is a good place to see the Pelicans. They feed them every day at about 11.30am and give an interesting talk about the pelicans. It's free, although you are asked to make a donation at the end!
The chocolate factory was fun too and a great way to spend an hour or so, especially if you have kids.
If Motor sports is more your thing, then you can head to the famous Grand Prix site. There is usually something going on that you can watch and there is a museum and shop to browse around. You can also see glimpses of the beautiful scenery and coastline.
These are the best things to do, in my opinion, on Phillip Island but even just stopping in a couple of the villages within the island is really good too. Newhaven is great if you fancy a bit of fishing. Rhyll has a nice beach for you to stroll along.
For more of an atmosphere and somewhere to eat/drink, head to Cowes. That said, Cowes is really the touristy hub so avoid this area if you want a more authentic scenic stay on the island
Certainly one of the Australian Islands worth visiting.

On April 8th Mayor Nancy Shaver joined neighbors for a walk around the neighborhood.
We started at the Methodist Church at Riberia and King and were joined by folks as we made our way down each street. Mayor Shaver was able to chat with neighbors and issues and items of interest were pointed out on all of our streets. She was able to get a very personal perspective of our neighborhood. We were blessed with great weather so it was wonderful to be out and about.

We discuss what Apple may launch at the 22 October in the above video report.
Apple on Tuesday sent out official press invitations to its 22 October event, which we expect will see the unveiling of an iPad 5 and iPad mini 2, as well as new Macs and some new software, too. Here, we take a closer look at the 22 October event invitation and its design to speculate over possible clues hidden within it.
Apple is well-known for its cryptic event invitations, in which the company has previously hidden hints about what to expect during big keynotes. It looks like this invite is no exception, so here we take a closer look to see what we can uncover about the 22 October event.
Of course, we won't know for sure what Apple has up its sleeve until 22 October rolls around, but we can't resist trying to decode the invitation in order to satisfy our craving for more information.
Find out more about what to expect from Apple's 22 October event here.
The tagline
Apple's tagline is a massive tease: "We still have a lot to cover."
It's been little more than a month since Apple's last special event that saw the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s launch, so we expect that's where the word "still" comes in.
We can only assume that "a lot" is referring to Apple's iPad line-up, the iPad and the iPad mini, which are both due for a refresh this month.
We also expect that Apple is preparing an update for its MacBook Pro range, as well as the Mac mini, which are the last in Apple's Mac line-up without Intel's Haswell processors.
Additionally, there have been rumours that Apple is working on software updates, too, which could include iWork, iLife and Aperture, as well as a release date for OS X Mavericks.
New iPad Smart Cover coming?
Finally, the word "cover" could be significant. With the new iPhones, Apple launched new case ranges. We've heard reports that Apple is working on a redesigned Smart Cover for its flagship iPad, as the iPad 5 is expected to be thinner and lighter than its predecessors.
We are slightly concerned about the possibility iPad cases, as we are less than keen on the cases for the iPhone 5c that were unveiled on 10 September.
The design
Again, Apple has opted for a colourful invitation for its next event. In June, Apple's WWDC 2013 invite was colourful, and the event itself saw the preview of the new, colourful iOS 7. The invite for the 10 September event was also colourful, with bright circles scattered across it. It later became clear that this was a clue to the colourful new iPhone 5c.
New iPad mini colours?
We haven't heard many rumours or seen many leaks of a colourful iPad, but it is a possibility. Some expect that Apple will make a plastic iPad mini with a similar design to the iPhone 5c, but we don't think that'll arrive until next year, if at all.
Perhaps the colours are a hint at colourful new cases that will "cover" the new iPads, instead.
Alternatively, the colours could hint at a more vivid display for the iPad mini 2, which many are hoping for. But we're not entirely convinced that the iPad mini 2 will have a Retina display, as it could prove to be a costly addition. However, the invitation that accompanied the launch of the Retina display MacBook Pro was also brightly coloured.
Maybe a little farfetched but still a possibility is the relationship between the colours used in the invitation and the Aperture logo, as they're largely similar.
It's also been pointed out that the floating leaves are very similar to the Photos icon in iOS 7, so perhaps the iPads are about to get a camera upgrade.
We'll update this article when we uncover more clues within the invite. If you've spotted any, let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter.

Simplicity. Ordinary moments. Everyday stories. My heart is often captivated and curious about these breaths of time that God has surrounded me with. I think God's visual miracles are His way of pointing Himself to me.
Thank-you for coming by & seeing a part of me that loves to express my thankfulness to the Creator who made everything that is beautiful.

The unpaved road that deflects off the Palani Road from Sembatti crossing in Dindigul taluk makes me feel that I am going to encounter very few people on this journey. The crossroads at Athoor village also look deserted. It is early Sunday morning and that could be one of the reasons. But two kilometres down the narrow winding road, my vehicle is lost in a sea of humanity.
Left with no choice, I move at a snail's pace with the crowd that is headed for the Sadayandi temple by the roadside.
I then speed up my drive through paddy, groundnut and chilli fields with emerald slopes full of cardamom trees forming a majestic backdrop.
A mild sun penetrates the veil of clouds and occasionally I steal a glimpse of a flock of birds flying across. After a few twists and turns on a heavily pebbled muddy tract, dotted with mango, banana, coconut and palm trees, I hit a dead end — a verdant valley surrounding the placid waters of the stunning 400 acre monsoon-fed Kamarajar Lake. This is quaint Athoor, largely free from visitors.
Around the brimming water body, there is a profusion of flowering shrubs attracting a variety of butterflies.
Magenta and white bougainvilleas, hollyhocks, zinnias and other flowers cascade down from well-manicured gardens that circle the lake.
Suddenly I hear the tinkle of bicycle bells and a group of foreigners cycle past me. I am already lost in the idyllic rustic setting where the only other sound is that of chirping birds. The raspy and whiney sounds of crickets and cicadas add to the avian orchestra.
Almost from nowhere a coracle appears in the middle of the water navigated by a lone boatman. He offers me a ride for Rs. 100. I hop on for a lazy float with an eye on the morning sun piercing the mist on the mountain top. The lake turns incandescent.
There are plenty of water birds around the lake. A variety of hardwood and marsh provide good birding habitat and you are up close with 160 varieties of birds here including 35 migratory species.
As I follow the trail, I see humming birds, peacocks, waterfowl, egrets, woodpeckers, sun birds, painted and adjutant storks, kingfishers, herons, cranes, warblers, eagles and a variety of ducks. But there are more and Athoor is a real treat for the bird lover.
By now, the group of foreigners returns, each carrying big garbage bags full of plastic bottles and wrappers from around the temple.
Incidentally, each of them owns and runs a resort around the lake. "We practise responsible tourism," they shout out to me. It is this hard task of maintaining the region as a "zero waste zone" that adds to the beauty of Athoor.

Investigation Launched After Nigerian Man Boards U.S. Plane With Expired Boarding Pass, No Passport
A Nigerian national boarded a Virgin America flight from New York to Los Angeles last week without a passport and with an expired boarding pass that did not belong to him, Fox News confirms.
Authorities are looking into how Olajide Oluwaseun Noib boarded Virgin America Flight 415 at John F. Kennedy International Airport on June 24 without a valid passport or identification.
Mid-flight from New York to Los Angeles, a flight attendant noticed Noibi was sitting in a seat that was supposed to be vacant. Noibi showed the attendant the expired boarding pass that was in someone else's name, and then showed him a University of Michigan identification card with his picture on it.
University of Michigan spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said that Noibi is not a current student, but was enrolled as an engineering student at Ann Arbor between 2004 and 2006.
The boarding pass belonged to a man who said his boarding pass went missing from his pocket on his way to the airport June 23. Noibi boarded the plane with the expired pass the next day.
Noibi was arrested Wednesday when law enforcement officials saw him trying to board another flight and discovered he had "10 boarding passes in various individual's names," according to an FBI affidavit obtained by FoxNews.com.
Noibi has been charged with being a stowaway.
Los Angeles FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says that when the Virgin America flight crew determined the man had an invalid boarding pass, law enforcement was notified and was asked to meet the plane on arrival early Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport.
There was no immediate threat to the aircraft so the flight wasn't diverted, Eimiller said.
FBI Agent Kevin R. Hogg met the flight and detained and questioned Noibi. "He wasn't arrested at that time. Beyond traveling without a ticket there was no immediate threat," Eimiller said.
"He wasn't actually charged and arrested until [Wednesday]. A U.S. District Court hearing Wednesday was postponed until Friday at 10:30 a.m. PDT. He's still in custody pending that hearing," Eimiller added.
"Every passenger that passes through security checkpoints is subject to many layers of security including thorough physical screening at the checkpoint," Transportation Security Administration spokesman Greg Soule said in statement Thursday. "TSA's review of this matter indicates that the passenger went through screening." TSA would not comment on what else happened, citing an ongoing FBI investigation.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
At St. James, we know that everyone has their battle to fight, their cross to bear, their road to travel. Our Care Ministry helps those who have some bumps and unexpected turns along the way. We offer a place of safety and healing for people struggling relationally and behaviorally through hospital visitation, support, consultation, prayer, meals, cards, referrals or transportation. Everyone shares the responsibility of care to those that need it.
Counseling + Addiction
Don't struggle alone. There is a community of believers who are here for you.
Stephen Ministers are made up of dedicated, trained church staff and volunteers who walk alongside those in need, offering a supportive ear, care & prayer, sharing both God's word and His love. They help guide you in your journey from brokenness to wholeness.
Confidentiality is a priority. All medium-to-major life issues requiring long-term professional relationships will continue to be referred out to licensed professional counselors, therapists, and psychologists in the Tampa Bay area. If you think you would benefit from the services of a Stephen Minister or would like to be trained to volunteer, please contact Pastor Dwight Loomis.

Born Ruffians Unveil New Album, Art; First Impressions of "Say It"
By Staff on February 25, 2010
Born Ruffians
Say It
Release date: June 1
1. Oh Man
2. Retard Canard
3. Sole Brother (click here for an exclusive preview)
4. What To Say
5. The Ballad Of Moose Bruce
6. Higher & Higher
7. Come Back
8. Nova Leigh
9. Blood, The Sun & Water
10. At Home Now
First Impressions:
- If Born Ruffians' 2008 debut album Red Yellow and Blue was the result of a talented and precocious gang of freshmen, their follow-up, Say It (scheduled to come out in early 2010), would be the project they left college for to head to the pros — a pronouncement that not only are they smart and ambitious to make it on their own, but they know they are ready to make it in the big time and aren't looking back.
- The album was recorded in Toronto and mastered in Brooklyn.
-"Oh Man" is an up-tempo rocker that starts the album off with a bang. Mitch Derosier's bassline is groovy.
-Lead singer Luke LaLonde's distinct vocals set the tone of the album.
-"Retard Canard" initially sounds like a classic garage-rock tune, but it evolves as the drums and bass build. The mix sounds really tight.
-"What To Say" is a lo-fi beauty that's catchy and will have you bobbin' your heads.
Key Tracks:
"Oh Man," "Retard Canard," "Sole Brother," "What To Say"
The Canadian trio will see their exposure rise with this record. With a plethora of lo-fi, indie-pop gems, Born Ruffians could be the next big buzz band to emerge from Canada.

Sunday Jan 27 10:00am
Sometimes known as "bare attention" or "peaceful abiding" Shamatha practice begins with chants and then alternates sitting and walking meditation. The practice of meditation is basically a process of getting to know yourself by becoming familiar with your mind. The Buddhist view of the mind is that it's always awake. Its nature is awareness and compassion.
"Whatever meditation practices we may do, they are all intended to increase our mindfulness and awareness, strengthen our sense of inner peace, and improve our ability to deal with our emotions as well." — Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
Everyone Welcome.

Our shop
Company history
Year 2012 to future
How innovative traditional handcraft with new ideas can be, shows Barbara Madl the youngest daughter of the family Madl, in her new shop in Rosenheim (Duschlpassage). Thereby she continuous in the fourth generation of "Madl Pelze" fur business in Rosenheim. Barbara Madl is the address for fashion in fur and leather. The new shop (Max Josefs Platz 12a) has been renovated with new ideas and passion to offer in a nice surrounding a big assortment of lamp skin and leather wear for women and men. At the same time the offer include fur jackets and –vests as well as customized made anoraks with fur lining. Furthermore the young owner sells accessories like fur and knitted caps with or without fur, fur scarfs and lamp skin gloves already to fortunate prices. Certainly she can also renew your old fur coat into a new modern one. Individuality is important. Barbara has grown up in the business since small. She has been finished successfully her furrier exams with a design price 2005. Following Barbara Madl has studied industrial engineering and management in Rosenheim, worked and traveled for a global company in Asia, America, France and Germany for 5 years. " My international experience has offered me insights of global working, which helps me leading my own company in a new direction". Fur with modern accents can be presented extremely creative. The modern and partially very colorful articles are available for women and men. All customized products are still designed and produced in the workshop in Zaisering, where her parents produced and sold fur coats the past years under the label Madl Pelz + Leder. Together with her parents, Gabi und Josef Madl, she builds an optimal team. Decades of experience joint with new innovative ideas of the new generation are a great base to fulfill high customers' demands.
Year 1982 – 2012
1982 the company form changed again in Madl Pelze GmbH, which was led by Josef Eduard Madl junior with the big support of his wife Gabi Madl. Since 1982 up today many things have changed in terms of fashion, economy and politics. Leatherwear won more on importance. That's why the product assortment and the company name was changed again to Madl Pelz + Leder. Today international collaboration is self-evident. Production- and manufacture processed have improved all the time. Besides a high number of design prices at furrier competitions Josef Madl won satisfied customers, which also stick to him after the movement from Rosenheim to Zaisering 1995.
Year 1950 – 1982
1950 Josef Eduard Madl consigned the company to his children Josef und Marille Madl. They continued the furrier's trade under the company name Pelzhaus Geschwister Madl and moved from the Münchner Straße 20 to Heilig-Geist-Straße 18. At that time the fur business globally grown to the zenith. The people had accumulated needs in every aspect of life after the Second World War. Fur was expression of happiness and wealth in life. Every different types of fur had a significant value in the society. As a consequence tanning methods and different ways of conditioning fur was developed and improved further. Also pattern and fashion were inspired by the big demand. The company Geschwister Madl bought patterns of Dior in Paris. Continuous visits at trade shows around Europe and a series of prices at the German furrier competition were the reason for a great reputation in Germanys fur fashion world. Josef Madl developed a couple of different manufacturing methods and got patents for the needed tools. Marille Madl left the company 1970. In the following year Josef and his wife Maria leaded the company under the name Madl Pelze.
Year 1922 – 1950
The company was founded after the First World War. At that time the electricity supply was just in the beginning and much machinery didn't exist so far. That's why a furrier factory looked very different in comparison to today. Everything started with fur trade. The local farmers and hunters sold fur from the surrounding area like mole, muskrat, hamster, marten, fox, weasel, badger, etc. The skins were tanned at the local tanner. Furriers and milliners used these skins to produce fashion out of it. Everything was customized single production.

E-books are the fastest growing segment of the book market. And self-published authors are fnding an audience of readers for their titles due to the low cost of setting up a title on an e-publishing website such as Amazon's Kindle, Barnes and Noble's Pubit, Apple's itunes or Smashwords.
Self-publishing e-books isn't expensive nor is it difficult. All an author needs to create an e-book is Microsoft Word, some photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop Elements for their covers, an e-mail address and a bank account to deposit royalty payments in. Most e-publishing websites such as Amazon or Pubit will convert the Word Files to e-pub or Mobi, the two leading formats used by the markeetplace.

A Wake-up Call for Better Jewish Education
It seems clear from the recent Pew survey (full survey available here) that many American Jews are assimilating. The inter-marriage rate among American Jews has been steadily climbing since the 1970s and has now reached 58% for all Jews, and 71% among non-Orthodox Jews. For those of us who find these statistics sad, scary, or concerning, they should serve as a wake-up call. Our community's Jewish education is failing, and we must improve it if we don't want to see the inter-marriage rate continue to grow.
Let me explain. People don't get married just because they're attracted to each other (at least I hope not). They get married because they want to spend their lives together. They get married because they have things in common, which generally include similar values, lifestyles, interests, and experiences. Those similarities are significant factors in the decision to build a future together. Therefore I believe one of the primary causes of the high inter-marriage rate is that most Jews feel they have just as much in common with non-Jews as they do with other Jews. Sure there may be differences, like I celebrate Hanukah and he celebrates Christmas, or my family does this and her family does that. But my guess is that most Jews don't consider the differences significant or important.
For many Jews the truth is, aside from celebrating Jewish holidays (if and when they do), their day-to-day lives are similar to their non-Jewish friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Many Jews are also under the impression that Jewish values are virtually the same as American values, atheist values, and the values of other major religions. We all value charity, kindness, and human life, right? For Jews who don't understand the uniqueness of Judaism and Jewish values, and don't live their lives in a uniquely Jewish way, we shouldn't be surprised that they're inter-marrying. Why wouldn't they? Jewish educators have not done a good enough job teaching them what it means to live Jewish lives, or inspiring them to do so.
Many Jewish educators discuss Jewish values by focusing on values we share with other groups to the exclusion of values that are uniquely Jewish. They focus on values like charity, environmentalism, or treating others the way we want to be treated, and downplay values like Shabbat, kashrut, and learning Torah. They probably do this because they think it will be more engaging to their target audience. But if we downplay the values that are uniquely Jewish, we're really engaging them in a less meaningful version of Judaism.
Don't get me wrong, Jewish values that are shared by non-Jews are still important values to learn and live by. In fact, we should be happy when society at large values things we value. But it's important to also teach values that are unique to Judaism. We need to teach that Judaism is unique and special if we want to cut down on assimilation. Furthermore, when we teach values that don't seem unique to Judaism, we can still teach them in a specifically Jewish way. Let's take tzedakah (giving to those in need) for example. American society values charity as a positive thing, which is evident by tax breaks among other things. But tzedakah isn't actually the same as charity. Tzedakah literally translates as justice, and the Torah teaches that Jews are obligated to give 10% of our income to those in need. The Jewish obligation to give because we believe it's just is unique from the American value of charity as a nice positive (but optional) thing.
We need to teach young Jews how Jewish values are unique. We need to teach them how living Jewish lives is special, and we need to inspire them to do so. This needs to be a focus not only for formal Jewish educators, but also informal Jewish educators, Jewish communal service professionals, Jewish parents, and everyone who participates in Jewish life and the Jewish community. We all need to take responsibility for educating the next generation since we all have an impact on the Jewish community and the Jewish lives others experience.
Exact Jewish theology and practice will differ by denomination and by individual Jew. But if we want our grandchildren and great grandchildren to be Jewish, and if we want them to have a Jewish community that's thriving and not dying, we must teach our children, students, and fellow Jews that Judaism is unique and special. We must teach them values unique to Judaism. We must encourage and inspire them to do meaningful things in their day-to-day lives that are uniquely Jewish. If the next generation of Jews thinks of Judaism as a unique and special part of their lives, maybe the next survey will show us results that give us pride instead of concern.

Each month, their kits inspire me to try new techniques and practice old ones in new ways. The Take Wing collection inspired me to make a book. This book is a twist on a dimensional book I developed a few years ago (my older posts have full tutorial details).
It uses several layers of bookboard on the cover to create a dimensional niche. The thick covers and size of the pages reminds me of "big-little" books I used to read.
Three layers of thinner bookboard are used on the cover. Between the second and third layers I placed punched circles to simulate clouds, and the bird was mounted on a piece of bookboard to lift it above the clouds (but below the surface of the cover of the book).
For the inside pages, I cut a 12 x 12 sheet into 4 x 6 pieces and one 8 x 8 piece for the back cover. On the 4 x 6 pieces, I used a Sizzix die to cut a fancy edge. This creates a little extra space in the book, and a cool decorative effect. Because the pages are 4x4, they are perfect for showcasing a photo collection.
What else did I use here?
- A chicken wire stencil from Crafter's workshop for the textured pattern on the cover
- I used a brayer with a foam attachment and a Kaledacolor ink pad to create the vibrant stripes
- The Be Still stamp from Club Scrap for the swirls (I used the wood stamp, but similar swirls are still available on this lovely unmounted sheet)
- Club Scrap Retreat stencil from 2011(no longer available) for the bird - traced onto shrink plastic first
- Elements of Style stamp from Stampin' Up! for the swirls on the bird - be sure to use StazOn ink for stamping on shrink plastic. It just works best.
Next on our hop is the fabulous Debbie Weller. I can't wait to see what she has planned for this month!

Both men here believe they should be GSW Heavyweight Champion currently instead of Stevie Shields. So to see which one will get the shot at the current champion, we have decided to put them at opposite sides of the ring and see who comes out on top. They have collided in the past a few times at GSW, but this time we have a feeling that "friendly sportsmanship" will not be part of the equation. As Brute VanSlyke and Kevin Graham both stand in the way of what the other man wants. The chance at dethroning the current champion.
PPW Outlawed Photos
1/16/16 PPW Outlawed Results
PPW Outlawed, Hazleton PA - It was the battle of the big men at PPW Outlawed when Brute VanSlyke along with his Brute Squad in his corner went 1 on 1 with Bull Hightower. The big men battled back and forth both inside and outside the ring trading stiff shots and whips into the rails. Hightower was attempting to mount a comeback after Brute was able to gain control inside the ring and eventually able to knock Brute off of his feet. VanSlyke regained the upper hand and was even able to hit a massive T-Bone suplex on the large Bull Hightower. The two once again began trading hard shots and just as Bull was going for the kill, the Brute Squad entered the ring attempting to attack Bull who was able to fight the Squad off. But while Hightower had his attention on the Brute Squad, VanSlyke was able to lock Hightower in the Asiatic Spike and pick up the win.
