Changes to Recreational Crab Net Rules in Port Stephens
New rules came into force in Port Stephens in May 2015 in regards to crab trap equipment. Existing crab traps and witches hats must be modified to lower the risk of turtle entanglement.
Given the high reported drowning rate of turtles in Port Stephens and recognition of the estuary being important for turtles, a trial of new crab gear rules is being implemented in Port Stephens requiring:
1) Recreational witches hats to be modified so that the entanglement net is not inverted when set, that is, the net must lie flat on the seabed significantly reducing its entanglement potential.
2) Recreational lift nets (or modified witches hats) may only be set or used between sunrise and sunset (i.e. no overnight setting).
3) A reduction in the entrance size of wide mouthed (rectangular, collapsible) crab traps (and other traps if necessary) to a maximum diameter or width of 32cm. This will still enable crabs to enter the trap but will restrict entry of non-target species such as turtles.
The rules only apply to Port Stephens. For further information download the fact sheet at http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/559275/recreationa...

Almost like clockwork, Starbucks introduces a series of new Frappuccinos throughout the year to lure you away from your regular coffee. So, it should come as no surprise that the caffeine empire has yet another blended coffee beverage up its non-existent green apron sleeves for summer, but what may surprise you is the flavor: horchata.
On Tuesday, Starbucks announced it is now serving the new drink -- the Horchata Almondmilk Frappuccino -- at most of its locations across the US and Canada. The borderline dessert in a cup features super sweet caramel and warm spice flavors, which the company claims is the perfect combination to end summer and help welcome fall. In other words, it's the prelude to pumpkin spice.
More specifically, the drink is made by blending Starbucks' almond milk, cinnamon dolce syrup, and coffee with ice. Then, the sugary concoction is topped with whipped cream, ribbons of caramel sauce, cinnamon, and sugar sprinkles, according to a press release. Think a regular Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino, but with the nuttiness of almond milk and some horchata-inspired flare.
Starbucks didn't say how long the drink will be available, but with the annual return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte likely only a few weeks away, it probably won't be long before the drink will be lost in all the sugar orange PSL insanity anyway.

Sellin Pier
The Sellin Pier leads out to the sea for almost 400 meters. Since 1998 the dream castle by the sea has been a landmark of the island of Rügen again. Whether in the light-flooded "Palm garden" stretching over two floors or the "Imperial Pavilion", reminiscent of the 1920s, you will always enjoy a clear view of the sea and the beach, surrounded by an unforgettable gastronomic ambience.
In 1906 the first, 508 m long panoramic pier in Sellin was built. In July 1920 a restaurant on the bridgehead burned down. In the winter of 1924, the brash ice ripped of the former pier from the entrance hall to the bridgehead. Consequently a new pier was built, but it was also demolished by drift ice in the winter of 1941/42.
In 1992, the foundation stone for a new pier was laid. In 1998 the two-storey T-Shaped building was rebuilt. The pier has a total length of 393 m.

Clinical Trials - GlossaryDownload
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are medical studies involving people. They are a way of testing treatments to ensure they are safe and effective. Clinical trials for sarcoma can look at:
- New types of treatment
- New ways of giving treatment, drugs or combinations of drugs to treat sarcoma
- New tests or scans to diagnose sarcoma
- New drugs or complementary therapies to control the symptoms or side effects of treatment
- The risks and causes of sarcoma, often by looking at genetic factors
All medicinal products are authorised and monitored in the European Union. See this useful infographic from the European Commission illustrating the life of a pill from clinical trial to use by patients.
Why might I consider joining a trial?
The decision to take part in a trial is individual to each person and their circumstances. Trials may not be for everybody, or you simply may not find a trial that is right for you at this moment in time. Common reasons people might decide to join trials are:
- To access a new or alternative treatment
- To improve treatment for future patients
- To give something back to the sarcoma community
"Not only are you helping future treatments for sarcoma patients, but you also feel some sort of achievement in yourself, that you are contributing."
Liz, clinical trials patient
Types of trials and treatments
Clinical trials are categorised under different phases. This is to do with how the trial is designed and what level of testing a treatment has had.
- Phase 1 trials look at how safe a treatment is. These trials may recruit from a wide group of people including healthy people and people with different types of cancer.
- Phase 2 trials look at how well a treatment works in a specific group of people. It may look at side-effects, and the safest and most effective dosages.
- Phase 3 trials compare new treatments with current practice.
- Phase 4 trials look at treatments that have been approved for use and may look at which specific groups the treatment works best in. They may also look at longer term side-effects.
Download our clinical trials glossary for more information.
Phase 1 and 2 trials are not normally expected to offer any direct benefit to patients taking part in them. Although, this does occasionally happen, patients should not expect it to be the case. It is important to remember that everyone taking part in clinical trials is helping to improve treatments for patients in the future.
Not all research for sarcoma requires directly taking part in a clinical trial. You can also get involved and help to improve treatment for sarcoma by completing surveys about your treatment, symptoms and quality of life.
If you have any questions about taking part in research contact our Support Line on 0808 801 0401 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Avalon has a wide choice of hotels available, but ones to watch for include Hotel Metropole and the Glenmore Plaza Hotel, both of which will place you steps from Avalon's pier and port. Other Avalon hotels such as El Dorado Terrace and the Casa Mariquita Hotel lie a couple of blocks or a few minutes' walk from the shoreline of Avalon Bay. A budget of around $100 a night allows you to look at options such as the Historic Hermosa Hotel and the Catalina Boat House.
During the high season in June to October, hotels in Avalon can easily set you back upwards of $250 a night. Los Angeles County's southernmost city gets busy in these warmer months, so it's wise to book ahead if you're hoping to stay somewhere like the Aurora Hotel & Spa or the Pavilion Hotel. Expect cheaper rates in November and March to May, the island's shoulder season. If you don't mind when you visit, you can find the cheapest hotels in Avalon during the low-season months of December to February.
If you're not one for hotels, no matter how cheap or luxurious, you might consider looking out for an Airbnb option. They're fairly rare in Avalon, although you may get lucky and find that one is available when you plan to visit. As a guideline, you can expect to pay between $200 and $300 for a night in a 1940s two-bed bungalow near the beach. You'll need to act fast, though; like the area's hotels, these Airbnb options get snapped up quickly.

A North-east Conservative MP is urging supermarket bosses to address a "fuel price lottery" for drivers filling up at different locations.
Andrew Bowie said motorists face significant disparities at the pump in different parts of his constituency of West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine and across the wider region.
A recent survey gave a snapshot of prices of 128.9p for a litre of petrol and 131.9p for diesel in Banchory but 131.9p for petrol and 134.9p for diesel in Stonehaven,
Outwith the West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine constituency, drivers in Fraserburgh can fill up on petrol for just 126.7p a litre, or in Huntly for 126.9p. The figures for diesel prices were 129.7p and 129.9p respectively.
Mr Bowie is writing to major supermarkets like Tesco to ask why there are such differences across the local area.
He said: "Drivers around the North-east are paying very different sums at supermarket pumps – sometimes relatively short distances apart.
"It is not right that you can fill up at one end of my constituency for two or three pence less a litre than at the other end. Yet prices vary significantly between Stonehaven and Banchory. There are even disparities in the price at pumps owned by the same supermarket."

The ability for pupils to choose when and where they would like to learn is becoming ever more important. At Ribblesdale we use technology and a range of other tools to enhance the great teaching that takes place within the classroom. Pupils at Ribblesdale each have their own one-to-one Windows 10 device, which is used to support learning both within and outside the classroom. Having access to their own device allows pupils to utilise a range of tools such as Office 365 and Doddle to help them progress further. It allows staff to formulate engaging lessons drawing on different opportunities, for example Minecraft Education Edition, to enhance the engagement and motivation of pupils.
One-to-one at Ribblesdale
At Ribblesdale, pupils have access to their own one-to-one device, to support the learning which takes place in the classroom and beyond. We use a Windows 10 device, which allows pupils to create and consume content. The production of work can be completed by typing on the detachable keyboard, utilising the touch screen capabilities or using the digital stylus. This allows pupils to choose the input method that bests suits them or the task being completed.
The use of the device is complemented by a range of different applications, ranging from traditional Microsoft applications such as Word and Excel, through to tools such as Minecraft Education Edition and Doddle. The device and the range of applications are used to complement the effective teaching and learning taking place at Ribblesdale.
The devices are managed by the school's IT support team, have full web-filtering both in school and at home and are fully covered should they get damaged. All required applications and updates are installed on the device, as and when required, ensuring the device is always up-to-date with the latest software.
The long established Minecraft is now available at Ribblesdale as Minecraft Education Edition (Minecraft:EE). Minecraft:EE is specifically designed to support teaching and learning in the classroom and beyond. At Ribblesdale, it is used in a variety of ways ranging from the construction of places of worship in RE, through to the visual representation of creative writing in English. It is also used extensively within Computer Science to bridge the gap between block based and code based programming languages, utilising the inbuilt 'Code Builder' features. Girls and boys alike relish the opportunity to use Minecraft:EE in a range of lessons, aiding understanding and bringing a range of subjects to life!
We are very excited to share our e-Learning platform 'Doddle'. This is a powerful web based learning resource, which provides opportunities for revision, assessment and reporting and to which all Ribblesdale pupils have access. It contains over 20,000+ resources, covering all aspects of the curriculum, at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
The Doddle software allows both pupils and parents to track progress across all subject areas, as well as complete homework and assessments that have been entered by the teacher using a clear and simple RAG rating (red, amber, green).
Parents have accounts so that they can see live data for their son or daughter and the topics they are studying. Pupils can learn and research topics independently, especially where they are still developing their knowledge and understanding. Each pupil has a personal Doddle homepage where they can access their homework to-do lists and where parents can view the work their child has been assigned.

Jim Kweskin and Geoff Muldaur play jug band favorites, old time jazz tunes, and classic country blues. They've perfected a low key, homemade sound that makes their skillful playing seem as easy as a casual conversation between close friends. The focus is on the music, and the music— even when it's heartbreaking —is always fun. They pick guitar and sing, and have also been known to perform on comb, kazoo, washboard, and jug. "There are only three white blues singers," guitar legend Richard Thompson once said. "And Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them." Whether Jim is the third is a matter of conjecture.
Geoff and Jim met in 1963 when they shared a bill at the Community Church in Boston. When Vanguard Records offered Jim a recording contract, he recruited Geoff for his band. The Jim Kweskin Jug Band stayed together long enough to record six influential albums and bring their unique style of folk music to national TV on the Steve Allen Show, the Roger Miller Show, and the Al Hirt Show, as well as appearing at the Newport Folk Festival and in the psychedelic ballrooms of San Francisco, where they played with the likes of Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Doors. Geoff went on to do a stint with Paul Butterfield's Better Days and recorded a pair of albums with his future ex-wife Maria Muldaur before embarking on his own solo career. Jim and Geoff joined forces in 2008 in a roots music all-star tribute to the Mississippi Sheiks. Allmusic.com praised the album, Geoff Muldaur and the Texas Sheiks, as "sounding like a loose, freewheeling, front porch gathering of longtime friends." Join these longtime friends for their latest freewheeling gathering, right here at the Freight.

As a showcase history of Christchurch on screen this collection is backwards looking; but the devastation caused by the earthquakes gives it much more than nostalgic poignancy. As Russell Brown reflects in his introduction, the clips are mementos from, "a place whose face has changed". They testify to the buildings, culture and life of a city now lost, but sure to rise.
This promotional travelogue, made for the Christchurch City Council, shows off the city and its environs. Filmed at a time when New Zealand's post-war economy was booming as it continued its role as a farmyard for the "Old Country", it depicts Christchurch as a prosperous city, confident in its green and pleasant self-image as a "better Britain" (as James Belich coined NZ's relationship to England), and architecturally dominated by its cathedrals, churches and schools. Many of these buildings were severely damaged or destroyed in the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.
The Ballantyne's Department Store fire of 18 November 1947 was — until the 2011 earthquake — Christchurch's biggest disaster. It claimed 41 lives and, as the narration says, was "one of the greatest civil tragedies New Zealand has known." Shot by National Film Unit crew who happened to be in the city for another film, Christchurch Fire shows the battle to beat the blaze: from the mass of hoses on Cashel St, to a fireman swapping a ciggie for a cup of tea. After the footage was rushed to Wellington, the film debuted in cinemas the night after the fire, and was also seen overseas.
The Christchurch music scene of 1982 gets a once-over in this Radio With Pictures report. Rob White of The Star acts as critic and guide, describing what's hot in the South Island's biggest city. A young Richard Driver provides his insights into what makes Christchurch bands so good, while various out-of-towners marvel at the quality of the lighting and sound in the local live scene. Amongst the local bands in the spotlight are The Narcs, the short-lived Thanks to Llamas and the Dance Exponents, who less than four months before this appearance had released their debut single 'Victoria'.
This 1966 edition of National Film Unit's magazine slot heads to Christchurch International Airport to explore weather measuring devices being launched there. Helium 'Ghost Balloons' are sent into the sky by an outpost of the United States' National Center for Atmospheric Research. Meanwhile Christchurch weathermen send up hydrogen balloons, read satellite data, and provide a flight plan for a U2 reconnaisance plane from the US Air Force. The pilot's preflight routine involves breathing pure oxygen to prepare him for the ultrahigh altitude plane's steep ascent into the sky.
TVNZ's long running religious and choral music programme visits Christchurch's Anglican cathedral. Before its devastation by earthquakes, it was the centre of the city and one of the most celebrated of its great Gothic buildings. It could also claim to be "the most visited, the most accessible and best known church in New Zealand". Host Graeme Thomson explores the cathedral, its chapels and bell tower and outlines its history. He interviews Dean John Bluck and introduces hymns and songs of praise sung by the cathedral's choir and an ecumenical congregation.
This National Film Unit film visits Christchurch roughly four years before the main event, to promote the city's readiness to host the Commonwealth Games. A comical potted history of New Zealand precedes a montage of young women cycling around Canterbury environs and a split screen catalogue of NZ tourist attractions, before getting into a survey of the venues. As the opening demonstrates, "there's always a traditional welcome awaiting our friends!" In 1973 the NFU completed a second film called Christchurch 74, before covering the games themselves in the feature-length Games 74.
In late 1989 U2 played to 60,000 at Lancaster Park. Exhausted by a relentless schedule and criticism of their recent explorations of American music, the band hoped for a short, fun tour with BB King. These performances were shot for music show CV. Reaction to show opener 'Where the Streets Have No Name' shows it was a good idea not to give up on the song during recording. After the classic 'I Will Follow', Bono invites a cool as a cucumber audience member up to play guitar on 'People Get Ready'. U2 went on to reinvent themselves in Berlin with the acclaimed Achtung Baby.
This collection looks at some of New Zealand's most significant national tragedies. Spanning 150+ years, it tells stories of drama, caution, hope and recovery — from the 1863 wreck of the Orpheus at Manukau Heads, to Tarawera, the Wahine, Erebus, Pike River and Christchurch. In the backgrounder, Jock Phillips writes about the collection, and the "common sequence" to disaster.
For a small country from the edge of the world, achievements on the Olympic stage are badges — silver fern-on-black — of national pride: precious moments where we gained notice (even if it was Mum's anthem playing on the dais). This legacy collection draws on archive footage, some rarely seen, to celebrate the stories behind Kiwis going for gold.

scrap.templates 8 (great for panos!), outdoor adventure stickers
Hi all! Kris here today with a fun cell phone how-to…
Without a doubt, photographers are huge winners of the smartphone competition between Apple's iPhone (IOS), Google's (Android), and Microsoft's Windows Phone. Just recently Nokia announced a 41 Megapixel camera on its most recent Windows phone the Lumia 1020! Perhaps the coolest new feature these smart phone cameras and apps have is fast and simple panoramic shots. On our recent trip to Montana, we couldn't resist at least one panorama shot every place we went and usually more than one.
This post is going to focus on the Panoramic capabilities of the most recent versions of IOS (6.0) and Android (4.2). The process is so simple, you can't help shaking your head in amazement the first time you try it. Here are the steps for both phones. If you are using an older iPhone or Android version, see the bottom of the post for third-party apps that can give you great end results, although not quite as simple to use. Again, keep in mind that you'll need IOS 6.0 or later or Android 4.2 or later to use the approach shown in this post.
1. Open the camera app and press the Options button at the top.
2. Press the Panorama button
3. Position the camera to the left most point of the panorama shot you wish to take. If you want to pan right to left, just tap the arrow and the direction will reverse. Now Press the shutter button (camera icon) at the bottom of the screen.
4. Move (pan) the iPhone continuously and slowly to the right. Be sure to keep the arrow moving along the blue line to keep the panorama as straight as possible.
5. Either pan for the full 240 degrees that is the default size, or press the done button when you have what you want.
6. Here are two quick final results I got by varying where I stood and the degrees I panned.
1. Open the standard camera app:
4. Press the blue capture button and the capturing process begins. Move (pan) the camera slowly to the right or left and notice how the progress bar below the image will move as you pan. You can wait until a full 180 degree capture is made, or stop at any point by pressing the blue button.
5. Once you stop, the panorama will begin to render. This may take a few minutes, depending on how powerful your phone is.
Here is the final image:
Add some word art
Now you can edit the image to your liking, including the addition of word art. Here's another example:
Still using an older smartphone?
If your smartphone is using an older operating system that doesn't support the newest native Panorama apps, there are some really good apps that might work for you. These will work a bit differently and might not be as simple, but will still provide excellent panorama shots. A web search will find you others as well, but these seem to be amongst the most used out there.
Coming soon, I'll show you how Google's "photospheres" and "tiny planets" have made the next leapfrog in panoramic technology. It is a decent bet that the next iPhone, due out this fall, will include a similar feature.
iPhone Panorama Apps:
Android Panorama Apps
- 360 Panorama
- Photaf (free)
Have fun shooting! Kris Shefveland and team

Tag: Oscar Pistorius (page 2)
So far, today's trial proceedings have gone very well for Oscar. His final witness, his physician and team doctor, is on the stand. The following is a recap from tweets of several live reporters in the courtroom:
Earlier today, the psych evaluation report of the state panel of experts was read into the record and accepted by both parties. Neither called witnesses to expound on it. The report found Oscar does not have narcissistic personality traits, and he has no history of abnormal aggression of violence. He has no personality traits typical of a rage killer, and he does feel genuinely vulnerable. Oscar has a history of feeling insecure and vulnerable, especially without prostheses
The report also confirmed Oscar and Reeva were in a loving relationship. There were no signs of abuse or coercion. [More...]

The prosecutor's ploy to have Oscar declared mentally ill didn't work. Doctors at the state hospital found he does not suffer from a mental disease or defect that prevents him from being able to tell right from wrong.
According to the Twitter feeds of reporters covering the trial, today's witnesses included a sound expert and the physician who amputated Oscar's legs. [More...]

The judge in Oscar Pistorius' case yesterday rejected forcing him to undergo a 30 day inpatient evaluation. Instead, saying it was not supposed to be punishment, she ordered an out-patient evaluation. The evaluation will take place at a hospital on the outskirts of Pretoria, and Oscar will be able to spend nights at his uncle's house, where he has been living since the shooting.
That's good news for Oscar and quick thinking by his lawyer, who suggested it as an alternative to the typical in-patient eval.. His family gave a statement afterwards, saying they were pleased by the decision.
The only people who seem disappointed are the journalists covering the trial, since it throws their schedules into disarray. [More....]

Oscar Pistorius is back in court as his defense team continued to call witnesses.
The defense psychiatrist, Dr. Meryl Vorster, testified as to Oscar's vulnerability as a double amputee, and the prosecutor asked to have the trial delayed and Oscar sent for a 30 day mental evaluation.
This is gamesmanship. The witness clearly stated Oscar knew the difference between right and wrong. There's no indication or defense claim he was insane or suffering from diminished capacity such that he couldn't appreciate the nature of his actions at the time of the shooting.[More...]

Reading through the twitter feeds of 6 journalists I follow who tweet the court proceedings in real time (rather than the media articles published after which selectively summarize the testimony, mostly in favor of the prosecution), here's what happened at the latest court session:
The defense called two more neighbors who live closer to Oscar than the state's witnesses. They heard bangs followed by a man howling in a high pitched voice. None heard a woman crying or screaming. One is a female psychologist for the Department of Labor who lives right next door or right behind him. She replicated the howling. The state's cross-examination of these witnesses was so short the defense ran out of witnesses and the trial recessed early.
There are now four neighbors who support Oscar's version of events. These witnesses were on the prosecution's witness list but were not called by rhe state. Instead the state called witnesses who lived much further away whose testimony was remarkably different but fit their theory. If the job of the prosecutor is not to convict but to see that justice is done, the state's failure to call these witnesses speaks volumes. [More...]

Oscar Pistorius is back in court after a two week recess. His first witness is the estate manager Johan Stander. Stander was the first person Oscar called after the shooting. He arrived at the scene almost immediately. Oscar told him immediately he mistook Reeva for an intruder.
Stander was on the state's witness list but was not called to testify. Oscar's co-counsel, Kenny Oldwage, is questioning Stander. [More...]
(11 comments, 1241 words in story) There's More :: Permalink :: Comments
Oscar Pistorius has completed his testimony. The prosecutor picked apart every little detail hoping to show his version of events was not possible. The state is pushing an alternate theory, however, it sounds like it's nothing more than "it might have happened this way." He didn't get Oscar to admit that any of the elements of his theory were correct. The state's theory is predicated on an argument between the couple, and given Oscar's denial and the lack of any other witnesses present, I don't see how the theory can be considered proved in any way, let alone by proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Here is the state's version, succinctly put on Twitter by reporter Barry Bateman, who has been in the courtroom every day:
(32 comments, 600 words in story) There's More :: Permalink :: Comments
The press seems to be fawning over prosecutor Gerrie Nel and his "bully-ish" cross-examination of Oscar Pistorius. I was not impressed. I was glad the Judge called him out over his inappropriate sarcasm and laughter and claims Oscar's emotional outbursts were manufactured.
"You possibly think this is entertainment. It is not," she told Nel. "Please restrain yourself."
I don't think he proved Pistorius is lying about his account. Nel is trying to get Pistorius to admit to Nel's interpretation of the facts, and when he won't, because he doesn't agree with Nel's interpretation, he blasts him as a liar and murderer and tells him to accept responsibility.
It's not the prosecutor's job to tell a defendant to accept responsibility for the crime for which he's on trial and denies committing. It's his job to ask questions and test his version of the facts.
Unless a defendant's story is so rehearsed it never changes, there are obviously going to be minor discrepancies. It's not surprising that Oscar's memory is better on what led up to the shooting than during the moments of trauma afterwards when he realized Reeva was dead. [More...]

After a week of recess due to the illness of of one of the judge's fact-finders, the Oscar Pistorius trial resumed today, with the defense calling Dr. Botha The topics ranged from the angle of the bullets to when Reeva last ate and emptied her bladder. When he was done, Oscar took the stand.From the reporters in the courtroom I follow via Twitter: [More...]

It was a dramatic day 8 at the Oscar Pistorius trial. The investigator who took over the case from the Hilton Botha, Colonel Vermulon, testified about the physical evidence. There are some serious problems.
Both sides now agree Oscar was on his stumps when he shot through the door, and after that, he used a cricket bat to bash in the door. Here's the rub: The state, which claimed at the bail hearing Oscar had his prostheses on when he shot at the door, now says he didn't have them on at either time: when he shot through the door or used the cricket bat. The defense says Oscar put them after shooting at the door and had them on when he used the bat.
In Oscar's bail affidavit, he says he shot through the door while on his stumps, then "I put on my prosthetic legs, ran back to the bathroom and tried to kick the toilet door open."[More...]

Last week, Oscar Pistorius' defense team spent a lot of time trying to get witnesses to acknowledge that they might have confused the sound of gunshots with the sound of Oscar bashing in the door to to the toilet with a cricket bat. Here's an interesting You Tube video of an experiment comparing the two sounds. Conclusion: If you weren't able to listen to both sounds for comparison purposes, you could easily mistake the sound of the cricket bat for the sound of a gunshot.
Here's a recap of yesterday's testimony. In a nutshell, Reeva was shot three times, in the hip, the arm and the head. She would have died within a few breaths of the gunshot to the head.

I've been watching the Oscar Pistorius trial live on the internet since it began Monday. They are still on the first witness.
The format of the trial is different than in the U.S. In South Africa, the defendant has the right to make a statement addressing the charges at the beginning, before the state gives an opening argument. Oscar's lawyer read a detailed statement, in the first person as if Oscar was speaking, refuting the charges paragraph by paragraph. He went through the facts of what happened, and it was much like what the affidavit from the bail hearing. (The only difference I could discern was that he said Oscar went to the balcony to bring two fans back. In the bail application, they said there was one fan.) [More...]

Oscar Pistorius goes on trial Monday in South Africa for the killing of his girlfriend and illegal possession of ammunition. Yesterday, a judge ruled parts of the trial will be televised and live audio will be provided for all of it.
The trial will take place in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
Eyewitness News, eNCA and MultiChoice are launching a 24 hour Oscar trial channel on Sunday.
The televised portions include opening and closing arguments and the state's witnesses. Oscar's testimony, and the testimony of his witnesses will only be available on audio. [More...]

Update: The Indictment and 107 person witness list is here, courtesy of journalist Barry Batemen of Eyewitness News. The first charge is the unlawful and intentional killing of a person. (On page 2 the indictment says it doesn't matter if the person killed not the person one intends to kill. In other words, the state doesn't have to prove he intended to kill Reeva Steenkamp, only that he intended to kill someone.) The second charge is illegal possession of 38 rounds of ammunition at his home. [More...]

This may have been the most long and drawn out bail decision ever. It went one way, then the other, for over an hour. It wasn't until the last 2 minutes you knew Oscar Pistorius was getting bail.

Hello. My name is Julian Phillips. Some friends and I started StemCellBaldnessCures.com back in 2008 when the first news reports appeared about new stem cell treatment for hair loss and other advanced hair loss products. At the time, it seemed as though the scientists were on the brink of a treatment for baldness. Since then, we've learned that, while the initial research that gave rise to those reports was real and truly revolutionary, the way to a practical, commercial treatment is littered with obstacles.
One of the companies that started the research stem cell treatments for hair loss, Intercytex, went out of business two years later… and another, Histogen, has been involved in court disputes over its technologies that have dragged on for years. Yet the research is continuing… and is FINALLY beginning to bear fruit.
The question everyone is asking is: Will the next few years FINALLY see hair loss products that really work? We received a partial answer early in 2012 when Japanese scientists revealed that they had successfully used stem cells to regenerate hair follicles in bald mice. If you haven't seen the video of this technology, I urge you to click on the link right now.
Hair Loss Products for the 21st Century
The other question people ask is: Short of a full-blown hair transplant, what practical hair loss products can I realistically use, right now, to slow down or reverse hair loss? One of the companies that has been involved in stem cell research for hair loss products is Aderans Research, and it is currently deep in its Phase II clinical trials for its new hair cloning technology that, if it works, could result in virtually limitless amounts of donor hair follicles being available for patients.
Another company, Replicel Life Sciences of Vancouver, British Columbia, is also in clinical trials of similar hair loss products: the attempt to extract hair follicle cells from someone's head, multiply them in a lab, and then re-inject the cells over bald areas of the same person's scalp, like reseeding a lawn. This website is dedicated to tracking these developments — and other new hair loss products, technologies and treatments for slowing and reversing hair loss in both men and women.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, on Friday in the face of criticism from the president, who wouldn't say if he still has confidence in Rosenstein.
Sessions broke from prepared remarks in a speech on human trafficking. He praised Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who is overseeing the special counsel's Russia probe, as well as the department's No. 3 official, Rachel Brand.
Standing on a stage with them, Sessions said both are experienced lawyers and "represent the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department."
U.S. & World
That's a departure from President Donald Trump.
After Trump announced on Friday the declassification of a disputed memo on the Russia probe, he was asked whether he has confidence in Rosenstein. Trump said, "You figure that one out."
The partisan memo alleges the FBI abused surveillance powers in its investigation into possible cooperation between Russia and the Trump campaign, prompting Trump to say, "a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves."
The FBI has declared it has "grave concerns" about the memo's accuracy, and Democrats have said it cherry-picks intelligence in an effort to smear law enforcement investigating whether Trump associates collaborated with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election.
After the memo was released, Democratic congresssional leaders warned Trump against firing Rosenstein or special counsel Bob Mueller based on the document, saying "we would consider such an unwarranted action as an attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation" comparable to the Saturday Night Massacre, when President Richard Nixon ordered his attorney general and deputy attorney general to fire the special counsel investigating Watergate, which resulted in their resignations.
The Democrats' letter to Trump was signed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and eight other members of the party's congressional leadership.

Webhostingpad Going Down The Drain
Posted by The Scroll Saw Lady on 4th October 2008
I have been a huge fan of Webhostingpad as my own webserve for over a year now. I have a number of websites and have always been very pleased with them and even promoted them to all my clientele. But suddenly, not so much a fan any more. I am not sure what is going on with them, maybe they are growing to fast and can't keep up with the growth, but, their service sucks as of late.My websites are up and running, but I have not been able to get into it for days to do any work on them. I have not been able to work on the Scroll Saw Lady Website in a week.
I have contact customer service several times and no one has gotten back to me. This is not the Webhostingpad that I had come to love.
I am very disappointed in Webhostingpad and at this point would no longer recommend them to any of my clientele. I will let you know how things go in the coming days and weeks, but right now stay clear of Webhostingpad.

Di ba sabi nila, you attract what you are. A person daw is like a living magnet. You invariably attract into your life the people, situations and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts. Natawa ako, kahapon kase nag taxi ako papunta Cubao and this driver na may bigote mega tingin sa 'kin…and nun pababa na ko, after ko magbayad, with konting chansing (alanghiya!) nag offer na ihatid ako sa bahay…
"San ka ba umuuwi? Ihatid na kita…"
"Sigurado ka manong, Pampanga pa ko, libre?!"
Hay naku! As if papayag ako. Manong talaga, you are sooo! Hmf! Sinabi ko nga na taga Pampanga ako kahit na diyan lang ako sa Valenzuela.
Kaya kayo tatandaan nyo yan….YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU ARE daw!! Napaisip tuloy ako bigla. Ganun ba talaga? I know naman a very good friend, in fact, she's my bestfriend….kilabot naman siya ng mga SEKYU, hahaha! Ano ba yan!
What type of person do you attract?
Your Result: You attract Yuppies!
You attract the very well-dressed, job oriented type of people. They usually have their finances together, are 'middle of the road' on most topics, generally happy with the 'main-stream' of things. If it is stability you are after, these are good people to attract, if you seek adventure, it may be time for an overhaul.
|You attract geeks!
|You attract artsy people!
|You attract rednecks!
|You attract unstable people!
|You attract models!
|What type of person do you attract?

Kabaliktaran naman ang sinasabi ng test na 'to. But why can't I find one? Therefore I conclude, pan-taxi driver lang ang byoooti ko. Waaaahhh! Wag ganun!

Global bonds recovered from a sharp selloff overnight but US stocks continued sliding and saw their worst day this week. The selloff in stocks came ahead of Friday morning's big May jobs report in the US – the last one before the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting.
First, the scoreboard:
- Dow: 17,905.58, -170.69, (-0.94%)
- Nasdaq: 5,059.12, -40.11, (-0.79%)
And now, the top stories on Thursday:
- There was chaos in global markets. German bund and treasury prices fell overnight, sending their yields above year-to-date highs that were crossed yesterday. The sell off paused during day trading, with the benchmark 10-year treasury note finishing near a session low of 2.30%.
- In a morning note before the open, Brean Capital's Peter Tchir wrote: "It is time to reduce US equity holdings for the near term and look for a 3% to 5% move lower. The Treasury weakness is NOT a 'risk on' trade it is a 'risk off' trade, where low yields are viewed as a risk asset and not a safe haven." And Tom di Galoma, head of fixed-income rates and credit at ED&F Man Capital Markets, told Bloomberg, "This is sheer panic in the market from the standpoint of what's been happening in Europe ... Most of Wall Street is guarded here as far as taking on new positions."
- The International Monetary Fund slashed US growth forecasts, and urged the Federal Reserve to delay its first interest rate hike until 2016, in a statement that crossed as the stock market opened. The IMF forecast that inflation is not likely to reach a level that warrants wage hikes until sometime in the first half of 2016.
- Greece got a new deadline on its €300 million-payment due to the IMF tomorrow. It has asked to bundle its four payments due this month into one lump sum it will pay in full at the end of the month. Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported the news, adding that the IMF is expected to approve the request. Greece owes a total of 1.5 billion euros.
- The SEC has sued PTG Capital and a Bulgarian trader over the bizarre buyout offer made to Avon last month. Avon's stock rocketed nearly 20% on May 14 after a filing on the SEC's Edgar website indicated that PTG Capital Partners was offering to buy Avon for $18.75 per share. Avon said it didn't receive any offer. The SEC alleges that PTG Capital used a fake notarized signature to apply for its Edgar login ID. It also claims Nedko Nedev, 37, unduly profited from the plunge through derivatives he owned.
- Crude oil prices fell more than 2% ahead of the June meeting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Friday. West Texas Intermediate crude, the US benchmark, tanked to a one-week low of around $58.16 per barrel. The market doesn't expect the 12-member cartel to make any changes to production levels, which it has increased to fight for market share.
- Initial jobless claims fell to 276,000 last week, versus 278,000 expected. That was the 13th straight week of a reading below 200,000. The 4-week moving average of claims rose to 274,750, still near a 15-year low, and the prior week's average was revised upwards to 284,000.
- Shares of Bio-Reference Laboratories surged by up to 40% on news it's being acquired by Opko Health for $1.47 billion. Opko Health said it would pay 2.75 shares for each Bio-Reference Labs share, which comes to about $52.58 per share. Opko is interested in boosting sales of its 4Kscore test, a blood test used to establish a "personalized risk score" for prostate cancer.
- Deutsche Bank has the most bullish forecast we've seen for Friday's jobs report: +275,000, with the unemployment rate falling to 5.3% from 5.4%. The consensus, according to Bloomberg, is for a 227,000 gain in nonfarm payrolls, and an unemployment rate of 5.4%. In a note to clients Thursday, chief US economist Joseph LaVorgna wrote, "the labor market inputs we use to project employment have strengthened meaningfully over the past month." He also cited the low reading on initial jobless claims in the survey week for the jobs report. We'll have full coverage in the morning.

|Thambapani 'copper-palmed' in Colombo

Thambapani 'copper-palmed' in Colombo
© Copyright 2001: Indian Express
Friday Mar 17 2006
Thambapani, meaning 'copper-palmed', is a garden restaurant with an ethereal ambience serving Sri Lankan cuisine. It is also an art gallery where local artists can display their works.
The food here is prepared with great attention to detail - both by way of the unstinting use of ingredients and spices which are ground, pounded (no readymade mixes) and the laborious hours spent in simmering the curries to achieve the distinct flavour. The food is referred to as 'island cuisine' and prepared exactly the way the Sinhala, Tamil and Muslims and those influenced by the Portuguese, Dutch and British did. Seafood is their speciality and what is remarkable is that there is no chef to run the show. It is managed by Romayne Wickremesinghe, a woman who I am told has vast experience in this area.
Thambapani has two indoor rooms and a lounge area, but we chose to sit outside in a small but delightful courtyard filled with trees, ponds and tables with shades. As we wandered through the restaurant, we noticed the artwork - flamboyant masks, abstract nudes, aboriginal cave paintings, colourful papaya trees - an eclectic collection.
The menu is pretty diverse. Some items are denoted as Thambapani specials like Singapore Chilli Crab (baked) and Red Snapper with mashed potato. I asked for Mulligatawny (spicy chicken colonial soup served with rice and lemon, SLR 225). It was thick and smooth without chunks with a subtle flavour enhanced with lemon squeezed in - decidedly worth having no matter how much Mulligatawny you've had before. Main course choices are vast and varied - four pages of everything from Portuguese Seafood Platter (an exciting combination of baked crab, grilled prawns, calamari, pan-fried fish accompanied by salad, fries or savoury rice and lemon butter sauce) to battered prawns, Thambapani fried chicken, mutton poriyal to vegetarian dishes like pasta primavera and Shepherd's Pie.
What comes to mind when you think of Sri Lankan food? Sri Lankan crabs, no doubt! But much as the sweet-fleshed Sri Lankan crabs deserve their fame, there's a wide assortment of curries, sambol (spicy side dishes), meat and seafood dishes, snacks and desserts that are distinctively Sri Lankan. The misconception about Sri Lankan food is that it is spicy. Not as much as people think. The modern cuisine, especially, is not spicy because not much chilli is used. It has been replaced with coconut milk, curry leaves, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin seeds so that the natural flavours of these spices and condiments seep through enhancing the colour and freshness of the food. We ordered pittu (SLR 375) with prawn curry, chicken curry and seer curry. Pittu is a mixture of fresh rice meal, lightly roasted and mixed with freshly scraped coconut, then steamed in a bamboo mould. It has a soft crumbly texture and is eaten with fresh coconut milk and hot chilli relish or curry. We also had Perratu Rice (SLR 450) with onion sambol - a very lavish serving.
Dessert included fruit mousse (passion fruit, mango, seasonal fruits) and Watalappan - both excellent choices. Jaggery pudding (SLR 200) looked intriguing as well but for a moment we were tempted to order the chocolate biscuit pudding (SLR 225). Next time, no doubt, we will. And given the children's fascination with Colombo and its beauty I think it will be soon!

Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are some absolute gems in this book (p376/770 where Eddie compares Tian's hopefulness at cropping a worthless field to his brother about to score the best heroin ever before he gives up for good; p404 where Mia eats a roast pig; and p714 in what for me was a 'point of no return' – a sublime sub-chapter lasting a paragraph and guaranteeing my complete attention to the end).
But… there are some annoying parts, too. I was constantly pulled out of the story by the endless sudden similes and segues in speech and narrative. There are also pages and pages written in italics that lend a detrimental jaded and dispassionate feel to the voice, as well as cause incredible eye strain – King is a master storyteller and does need to resort to such an amateurish trick to share a character's memories. And while Jake's maturity was more consistent in Wolves, Roland's took a step backwards with his nagging 'hurry up' finger-twirling during other people's stories.
The most annoying, though, was the constant change of Point of View (POV). I think the other books were all told from Roland's POV, so this one, in mostly Eddies' POV, was a nice enough change. But when shifting to the other POVs, King left out the smooth build-up required for such omniscience: sometimes the change was mid-paragraph, sometimes well into a chapter that had opened with Eddie and seemed to suggest Eddie's POV initially. It made for constant confusion and stopping and starting on my part.
However, the story itself was an immersive one. A sweeping saga, tying old loose ends while creating more new threads, visual and evocative, looping back on itself in well-handled complex ways. And that's why I'm giving it nearly full stars. Just like i>Gunslinger, this was hard to read, but I took it on trust and am glad I did.

This is an original hand-painted model cel from the Walt Disney Studios production of Peter Pan. This cel features the Native American Chief and was created at the studio by an animator who was performing a painting test. The overall measurements of the piece are 12.5" x 12" and the image itself measures 7.75" x 8.75". The cel is in good condition with some rippling that is more noticeable in the scan than it is in person. The cel is also paired with a color printed reproduction background.
