How long will it take to receive my grant?
Your grant will be deposited in your nominated bank account 2 weeks after you have been notified of the successful outcome of your application.
Does submitting an application guarantee that I will receive a grant?
Unfortunately there are a limited number of grants available and in most cases there are more eligible applications than grants available. Applications are assessed every four months and are assessed locally against criteria that reflect the needs of your local area.
How many grants are available in my local area?
There are 36 individual grants available in each metropolitan electorate and in non-metropolitan (provincial or rural) electorates 50 individual grants are available per allocation year (applications received 1 March - 28 Feb). For information on whether your electorate is metropolitan or non-metropolitan please visit the Australian Electoral Commission website.
Why do I have to be turning 12 years of age to be eligible for a grant?
The current age criteria for the LSC program was determined in line with research conducted by the ASC. The Junior Sport Framework entitled "Junior Sport Matters" The Junior Sport Framework is a resource that aims to assist all sporting organisations, to build safe, fun, quality and inclusive environments for the delivery of junior sport. Please visit the Junior Sport Framework webpage for more information.
Are Indigenous only teams eligible for Local Sporting Champions funding?
The Australian Sports Commission does not provide funding to support athletes and teams competing in Indigenous only teams or competitions. The Australian Sports Commission provides financial support through the Local Sporting Champions program and the Elite Indigenous Travel and Accommodation Assistance Program to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people competing in the mainstream sporting system. These programs assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate and develop through the mainstream pathway.
How is my application assessed?
At the conclusion of each round, all eligible applications from your local area are sent for assessment by an independent assessment panel for that area. The panel uses information included in your application as the basis for their assessment. Additional information such as results or selection into further representative teams can not be added to the application after the championship occurs.
The independent assessment panel comprises members from your local area and selection of successful applicants is made using criteria that reflects the needs of the local community. A number of factors are taken into account when assessing such as the quality of the application, how far the applicant is travelling and the level of competition among others. It is important to note that competition results do not effect the applicants chance of success.
Why does it take several months to find out if my application is successful?
Assessment of applications takes place every four months. With limited grants available in each area, assessing only three times a year ensures a consistent approach to assessing each application throughout the year. This may mean that applicants have to wait a little longer for an outcome but ensures all applicants are given a fair chance to receive a grant.
The championship I will compete at will be held before my application is assessed, Can I still apply?
Yes, you can still apply for a grant. In many cases if you are successful in receiving a grant it will be after the championship is held, this is due to the fact that assessment only occurs once every four months. If the championship has already occurred and you are successful for a grant then the grant is a reimbursement for costs associated with attending the championships. Remember that you must complete and submit your application prior to the championship commencing.

Whoopee Camp. The company made two late 90s Playstation games: Tomba,

audiences ignored them, and the company went bust in 2000 after only three

I recently unearthed my Star Wars comic collection (all 125 issuees and three annuals from Marvel) and will now set about the daunting task of rereading the entire lot. Anyway, we all know that Jek Porkins fills out the old orange flight suit quite a bit more than most X-Wing pilots. And of course he got quick fried to a crispy crunch. And it took over 20 years to get an action figure made. And he went on to play the obnoxious Lt. Eckhart in Batman. But the biggest insult? His death in the Marvel Comics adaptation (Star Wars #1-6) of A New Hope.
There is little real difference at firts. He's there at the Death Star run, he gets blowed up real good. But here's the rub. If memory serves it is Biggs who is depicted with a thought bubble as he flys by in his X-Wing following Porkins' demise, thinking, "You'll be avenged, fatty."
What was that all about?! Are we meant to feel better about Biggs' impending demise because of that underhanded declaration of vindication?

Stromchaser Bill Passes House
Posted By News On @ 6:25 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
As the Legislative Session winds down, lawmakers are still passing legislation, such as the "Storm chaser" Bill. These aren't the storm chasers that follow tornadoes to study or film them. These are contractors who follow storms and misrepresent themselves to homeowners whose property has been damaged. They often claim that their work will be covered by the homeowners insurance when it will not be, or charge a much higher price than an insurance company would. Representative Jarad Klein says the House felt it was important to pass this bill because storm season is approaching, and homeowners need to be protected. He doesn't know if the bill will pass the Senate, but hopes it does before storm season hits.

Lionel Messi
Basketball has LeBron James, hockey has Sidney Crosby, tennis has Roger Federer, and soccer has Lionel Messi. The lethal Argentinian striker has emerged as the defining player of his generation, the one footballer to which all others are measured. The reigning FIFA World Player of the Year has won every trophy there is to win with FC Barcelona, and is often mentioned in the same breath as Pele and Maradona, two of the greatest to ever don a pair of cleats. The only major difference is that the two soccer legends have led their respective countries to World Cup championships, and Messi has not. If he ever wants to be remembered as the best ever, Messi will have to prove to himself, and to the world, that he can dominate on the global stage.
AppealLionel Messi may not be the most handsome player on the pitch, but let's be honest: He could look like an overweight warthog and still land the most beautiful women in the world. That's just the way it works for athletes of his caliber. Overweight warthogs world over are ripe with jealousy, but sorry, fellas, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Past Messi conquests include childhood sweetheart Macarena Lemos and the blond, buxom bombshell Luciana Salazar, who's been called "The Pamela Anderson of Argentina." But after only a few years of womanizing, it appears as though Messi is ready to settle down with hometown girl, Antonella Roccuzzo.
SuccessLet Cristiano Ronaldo have his six-pack, reality TV stars and Vanity Fair covers. Lionel Messi is perfectly content racking up an endless array of trophies year after year, thank you very much. The two explosive rivals with the equally explosive ball skills are often compared and contrasted as the two best players in the world. It's Ronaldo, however, who oozes the charm and charisma of a superstar, but whatever Messi lacks in flash, he makes up for with finish.
At just 24 years old, the young Argentinian has already established himself as the undisputed best in the world, by winning every league trophy with FC Barcelona. His personal awards include (please bare with us) the FIFA World Player of the Year, European Footballer of the Year, the European Golden Boot, the UEFA Champions League Player of the Year, La Liga Player of the Year, the World Soccer Player of the Year, and the multiple-time Player of the Year of Argentina. And we're just scratching the surface here, folks. When we were 24 years old, we won second prize in the Norfolk County Fair's "Seven Layer Coconut Cake Eating Contest." Kind of similar, no?
Lionel Messi BiographyLionel Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, and at just 5 years old began playing at his local squad Grandoli, which was coached by his factory worker father. From the very beginning, it was clear that Messi had prodigious skill, and in 1995 he advanced to Rosario's Newell's Old Boys. Many believed the sky was the limit for young Messi, until he was diagnosed with a hormone deficiency that threatened his career. In a bizarre twist of fate, FC Barcelona agreed to cover the cost of enormous medical bills that every club in Argentina shied away from, provided he and his family move to Spain. A no-brainer, the Messi family set off to Barcelona, and Messi -- who was receiving proper treatment -- began to turn his attention to football once more.
lionel messi turns heads at barcelonaAfter soaring through Camp Nou's youth ranks, Lionel Messi made his senior team debut in 2004 when he was just 17 years old, becoming the youngest player to play in La Liga. It wasn't long before Messi scored his first goal for Barcelona, becoming the youngest player to ever score in a La Liga game for the Spanish side. As hype around the young protegee grew to an almost fever pitch, Messi continued to develop on the field, scoring goals in league play and Champions League action, while meshing well with Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho. Barcelona would go on to become champions of Europe that season, but Messi had yet to take the reigns of the powerful Spanish side.
lionel messi establishes himself as the next oneLionel Messi's second full season with Barcelona saw the young dynamo emerge as a consistent goal-scoring threat, striking 14 times in 26 matches despite an injury that saw him miss three months of action. But the goal that really turned heads came against Getafe in the semifinals of the Copa del Ray. In one furious run, Messi blew by what seemed like the entire team, before putting the ball past the goalie, reminiscent of Maradona's "Goal of the Century" from the 1986 World Cup. The stunning goal erased all skepticism of Messi's authenticity, and finally justified the nickname "Messidonna." By 2007, most of the soccer world considered Messi to be one of the world's best, but no one was prepared for what he would do next.
lionel messi emerges as the best player in the worldWhen Ronaldinho left Barcelona for Milan, the Camp Nou faithful expected their young protegee Lionel Messi to fill his lofty cleats. Fill them he did. And then some. After finishing second in FIFA World Player of the Year voting, Messi went on an absolute tear, scoring a total of 38 goals in all competitions en route to leading Barcelona to a Copa del Ray, the UEFA Champions League and the La Liga title. It was the first treble for a Spanish club in the history of the game, and Messi's nine goals in the Champions League led the tournament, making him the youngest winner of the Golden Boot in the tournament's history. After winning the UEFA Club Forward of the Year and the UEFA Club footballer of the Year, Messi's reputation as the best footballer in the world was no longer in doubt.
lionel messi soars to new heightsPerhaps the most shocking aspect of Lionel Messi's unprecedented success was that it all came before his 22nd birthday. Could this young superstar possibly get any better? The answer was a resounding yes. After signing a lucrative contract that would keep the young superstar in Barcelona until at least 2016, Messi continued his torrid pace, winning the 2009 Ballon d'Or and the 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year, beating rival Cristiano Ronaldo for both. After leading Barcelona to the FIFA Club World Cup -- their sixth title of the year -- Messi went on a scoring spree unprecedented in League football, including a series of hat tricks and an eye-opening four-goal game against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
In the last game of the season, Messi scored his 34th goal, tying Ronaldo for the all-time club record. Though Messi couldn't help Barcelona repeat their Champions League victory, he did lead them to their second consecutive La Liga title and scored a whopping 47 goals in all competitions.
Will lionel messi Ever bring home the cup?After Lionel Messi's poor performance for Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, some questioned his devotion to the national team, especially since Messi left Argentina when he was just a teenager and spent his formative years in Spain. The criticism was only compounded after Messi's lackluster performances throughout qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, which saw his country barely make it through. But Messi's career as an Argentina International hasn't been all bad. In 2005, Messi led Argentina to the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship by winning the Golden Ball and The Golden Shoe. Messi was also integral to Argentina's run to the 2006 Copa America final, and he won a gold medal with Argentina at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Although Argentina faired poorly at the World Cup, there's no saying what will happen next time around. With Lionel Messi on their side, one thing's for certain: They will not be underestimated.
Lionel Messi In 2011
Lionel Messi currently makes a reported $43 million a year, and he actually deserves it. This past season, the Argentine forward scored a jaw-dropping 53 goals in 55 appearances and led FC Barcelona to the Champions League title and the La Liga crown.

Welcome to CHMTL
Giuliano Di Bacco
Director of CHMTL
Established in 1998, the Center for the History of Music Theory and Literature (CHMTL) brings together various research activities and projects in the fields of music theory and historical musicology centered at the Jacobs School of Music, also in collaboration with other institutions in the United States and abroad.
Our aim is to serve the scholarly community by gathering, researching and disseminating documents relevant to the history of musical thought. While primarily focused on music theory, our work also aims to document the deep links between music and the other arts and sciences, which have influenced intellectual life from the medieval era to the present. Our earliest projects, first and foremost the Thesaurus Musicarum Latinarum, made pioneering use of technology and the internet by making freely available hundreds of music treatises in Latin dating from the Late Antiquity. In the twenty-first century CHMTL aims to continue to be at the forefront of research in computer-assisted studies of the music of the past.
CHMTL currently hosts projects managed by scholars based at Indiana University and elsewhere. We welcome suggestions and proposals from institutions and individuals engaged in research on any aspect of the history of music theory and literature, and on applications of digital humanities to musicology and related disciplines.
The launch of our new institutional website (November 2012) coincides with the start of a new phase of expansion of the Center. Current projects are being modernized and redeveloped (access to existing resources is still available via the old website while new sub-sites are under construction) and we anticipate embarking on new research and editorial initiatives, hosting workshops and conferences, and making available occasional fellowships for visiting scholars. As these plans develop, notices will be posted in our News page. Updates are also available via subscription to our mailing list and on Twitter.

Painted on the outer doors of an actual bookshelf, the painting depicts a view of the library of Father Giovanni Battista Martini, Bolognese composer, theorist and music collector (1706-84). Some forty books, mostly music theory titles, are visible arranged on the shelves along with sheet music and writing tools.

Boon or Bane - India's patent wars and its changing scenario
To say that the last few months have been tumultuous for the India pharma patent landscape would be an understatement. Indian pharma has witnessed a number of landmark decisions, that have far reaching consequences not only on international players but also on the domestic entities in the Indian market.
On November 2, 2012, India's Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) revoked Roche's patent on its hepatitis C drug, Pegasys, on the basis that it contained PEGylated interferon, which had nothing novel about them. This judgment was noteworthy on two counts. To begin with, the Pegasys patent was the first ever product patent granted in 2006 in India, after the adoption of the new patent regime. Secondly, the IPAB observed that a patent can be challenged not only by the patentee's competitor but also by groups that represent the sections of the population directly affected by it.
Mr Anand Grover, senior counsel and director, Lawyers Collective HIV/AIDS Unit, India, who appeared on behalf of Sankalp Rehabilitation Trust, the group that had challenged the Pegasys patent, says, "We are happy that the IPAB has recognized the element of public interest in setting aside undeserving patents and held the patients' groups, who are directly impacted by patents on medicines, and can challenge granted patents. This will be of importance, as concerned patients' groups will now have better clarity in challenging patents on medicines for HIV, cancer and other diseases."
Earlier in September, the Supreme Court of India revoked a patent held by Sugen (now Pfizer) for its drug Sunitib, citing the absence of any inventive step. Cipla, a generics giant, produces a much cheaper generic version of Sunitib. The revocation was followed by order by the Indian High Court order, banning Cipla from producing the drug, which as of now has been stayed by the Supreme Court.
This was not the first of such victories for Cipla. The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of Cipla in a patent infringement case over Roche's anti cancer drug Tarceva in September 2012. The battle, which had extended over four years, successfully proved that Cipla's generic version of the drug did not infringe on any patent. Earlier, Roche had applied for a patent for the polymorph B version of erlotinib (Tarceva), which was rejected on the basis of Section 3(d), since it was a variant without an enhanced therapeutic efficiency and hence not patentable.

This delicious recipe is a fruit-added version of crème brûlée. The original French dessert is exactly what its name implies--burnt cream. Sweetened and flavored cream, thickened with cornstarch, is broiled to impart a unique toasted flavor characteristic of this dessert.
If raspberries aren't available, try blueberries, or sliced strawberries, peaches or nectarines.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – While Mississippi mulls emulating educational ideas from Florida, a team of Tupelo school administrators used spring break to get a firsthand look.
Eight representatives from the Tupelo school district visited the Santa Rosa County School District on the western Florida panhandle to speak with educators there about the so-called "Florida model."
Mississippi lawmakers have recently debated reading initiatives, school choice and early education, based at least in part on ideas from the Sunshine State. Mississippi's Department of Education also is developing a new system of grading schools expected to borrow from Florida's accountability model, which uses ACT scores, graduation rates, dual enrollment and Advanced Placement results in measuring high schools.
"We wanted to go to a good district in Florida that was doing well on the accountability model and learn from them," said Tupelo Executive Director of Curriculum Leigh Mobley.
Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden met Santa Rosa Superintendent Tim Wyrosdick during a conference in the fall and was invited to visit the district, which is among the top performers in the state.
"You can study it, but it is nice getting to talk to individuals living it every day," Loden said. "It was the best workshop I've been to in a long time."
Assistant Superintendent Kimberly Britton, Special Education Director Mary Ruth Wright, Response to Intervention Administrator Amy Ferguson and Instructional Technology Specialist Kenneth Griswold joined Loden and Mobley, as did Tupelo High School Principal Jason Harris and Assistant Principal Art Dobbs. They spent two days in the 25,500-student district.
The team divided into smaller groups to study such topics such as the high school accountability model, professional development, the use of technology and pre-kindergarten, among other items.
"I felt like we have a good game plan as we prepare for the transition," Harris said. "It made me appreciate my staff and how hard they work."
Britton, who visited Santa Rosa's pre-kindergarten programs, said they were similar to Tupelo's Early Childhood Education Center. Mobley liked the way the district used model classrooms to train teachers on new initiatives.
"It was fabulous information," said Mobley. "They were very open and spent a lot of time with us."

Somalia: We cannot let the Somali people down, says humanitarian chief
Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos called for a coherent approach to addressing the humanitarian, development and political challenges in Somalia today at the London Conference.
Co-chairing a humanitarian event at the conference, Ms. Amos emphasized the importance of dealing with the immediate needs of millions of Somalis and the longer-term development issues critical to helping the country build resilience.
"As we deal with the immediate humanitarian needs of the people, we must also ensure longer-term sustainability in the country," she said. "We cannot let the Somali people down."
The conference, chaired by the British Government, brought together senior officials from more than 40 countries and international organizations. The participants included representatives from Somalia, UK International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. They adopted a communiqué that contains conclusions linking relief with longer-term recovery and resilience.
"Somalis have shown astounding resilience in the face of extreme hardship. They are ready to show the world they can rebuild their lives and their country with our support," said Mr. Ban.
As well as providing life-saving aid, humanitarian workers are prioritizing ways to restore people's livelihoods, including support for agricultural development, so that families are better able to cope and will become less dependent on aid.
Although the famine is over in Somalia, the humanitarian situation remains fragile; roughly one third of the Somali population needs life-saving aid, including food, water and health care. Diseases and high child-mortality rates persist, and more than 320,000 children are acutely malnourished.
The UN and aid agencies have asked for US$1.5 billion to provide basic aid and fund projects to help Somalis rebuild their lives in 2012. Over $480 million will go towards agricultural- and livelihood-support projects, including rebuilding roads and canals, providing cash-for-work schemes, and distributing drought-resistant seeds and fertilizers to farmers. However, the appeal is only 9 per cent funded.
"We have no more time to 'wait and see'. To any donors still wavering, I say: get off the fence. Help prevent another famine and offer new hope to Somalia," said Mr. Ban.

Research at Princeton
Posted October 13, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
From the advancement of mathematical theory and sociological understanding to the development of cleaner-burning fuels and novel electronic devices, research at Princeton aims to expand the frontiers of human knowledge and improve societal well-being.
Scholarship and research are essential aspects of the University's enterprise. Increasing fundamental knowledge and addressing real-world problems, Princeton scientists and scholars pursue research across the spectrum of intellectual inquiry. Every member of the faculty is engaged in scholarly research; each year the members of the faculty publish more than 2,000 scholarly documents. In addition, graduate students and upperclass undergraduates pursue independent research.
While many research projects begin with individual scholars and scientists working within their academic departments, many others are interdisciplinary and bridge academic disciplines. Research collaborations also extend well beyond the Princeton campus, reaching across the country and around the world.
For more information about research at Princeton, view current publications and the Dean for Research website.

Priceline (PCLN) shares are up $38.51, or 3%, at $1,321.51, after the company yesterday afternoon beat Q4 expectations but forecast EPS that fell short of consensus for this quarter.
There are no ratings changes today, that I can see, but price targets are zooming all around.
Analysts are generally looking past the lower Q1 profit view, most bulls viewing it as "conservative" in nature, and affected by an understandable step-up in TV advertising spend.
The focus is entirely on a speed-up in the metrics of the business, such as bookings growth.
Stifel Nicolaus's Michael Purcell reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his price target to $1,500 from $1,250, after raising his estimate for this year to $8.51 billion and $52.30 per share from a prior $8.36 billion and $50.49.
Purcell likes the acceleration in travel metrics:
Global travel remains in secular growth, and online booking is accelerating into the opportunity. 1) PCLN's room night growth of 37% to 63mn nights accelerated over the 36% in 3Q, 2) EXPE's 25% growth to 37mn nights accelerated over 3Qs 20% growth rate, 3) Orbitz posted 13% growth (ex-Amex), a mild deceleration over the 15% in 3Q. This is not to imply that acceleration will continue, but the rate of sequential deceleration is milder than feared. Bookings were up almost 38% this year (vs. 37% last year) to $39bn while gross profit (the barometer of topline growth) increased 40% to $5.7bn. Non-GAAP operating margins delivered by a mere 190bp to 46% of gross profit. We have continued to favor the higher level of gross profit growth over the concern over margin deleverage since absolute operating profit dollars drives shareholder value. Overall deleverage has been milder than expected.
Piper Jaffray's Michael Olson reiterates an Overweight rating on the stock, and raises his price target to $1,475 from a prior $1,400, after raising his estimates for this year to $8.52 billion from a prior $8.2 billion while cutting his EPS estimate to $53.70 per share from $54.55.
The company continues to defy what should be a slowing in growth given its size:
Priceline reported its 5th consecutive quarter of at least mid-30s (y/y %) bookings growth. Aggressive marketing spend (both offline & online), while accompanied by strong bookings growth still led to a contraction in non-GAAP op margins of 200bps; this was, however, favorable vs. our expectation of 390bps contraction. Q1 op margin guidance (mgmt suggested 290bps y/y op margin decline) specifies margin contraction as the company continues its offline booking.com marketing campaign in the US and expands this initiative into Canada, Australia, UK and other countries. While the impact of this expansion in offline marketing resulted in Priceline guiding EPS below consensus, we believe there is some conservatism factored in (see details below).
He's unfazed by the lower Q1 view:
We believe the company is guiding conservatively and are modeling for Q4 int'l (fx neutral) y/y growth of 32%, at the high end of the guided range (25-35%). We would point out that over the last 8 quarters since Q1'12, Priceline has beaten the mid-point of int'l (fx neutral) bookings y/y growth guidance by an average 820bps.
Ken Sena of Evercore Partners reiterates an Overweight rating, and raises his price target to $1,480 from $1,350, after raising his projection for the company's bookings:
On higher hotel room night growth, our 2014 bookings estimate moves up by 4% to $51.7bn (32% y/y) driven by both domestic and international. However, as the company moves further from opaque pricing which has a higher revenue contribution, there is resulting compression in take-rate. As such, we are only raising our gross profit by 2% to $7.6bn. Finally, on roughly flat margins, our EBITDA increases 3% to $3.52bn, or 31% y/y, ahead of the company's guidance.
He's also unconcerned about the forecast:
Guidance again was conservative as management called for roughly 250 bps of 1Q EBITDA margin erosion y/y, higher than our expectation of just 100 bps. Otherwise, the revenue outlook remained strong as total bookings growth of 28% y/y at the mid- point (or $11.3-12.2bn) was only slightly below our 30% estimate.
J.P. Morgan's Doug Anmuth reiterates an Overweight rating, and raises his price target to $1,450 from $1,210, after raising his estimates for this year to $8.58 billion in revenue from a prior $8.46 billion, but cut his EPS estimate to $51.42 from a prior $51.65, writing that "We are encouraged by Priceline's ability to sustain strong growth across all operating metrics, and we expect Priceline to continue to gain share in an increasingly competitive environment."
Anmuth raises his P/E multiple on the shares to 22 times:
Our $1,450 price target is based on ~22x our 2015E PF EPS of $65.22, (vs. our prior 19x 2015E PF EPS of $63.61). We believe a ~22x 2015E PF EPS multiple is reasonable given a 28% 2012-15E PF EPS CAGR. Our price target is equivalent to ~28x our 2014E PF EPS of $51.42. We expect Priceline to trade at a premium to its OTA peers (20x) given its higher growth profile and our forecast for margin expansion. Priceline continues to gain material share of the hotel reservations business, particularly through Booking.com in Europe, APAC, and in the U.S., and is expected to be a primary beneficiary of an improving global travel market.

Spent chunks of the last few days getting in to XSLT, after the indoctrination at the O'Reilly conference. Have now incorporated this in to the infrastucture of the FreeBSD web site.
The front page now sports an automatically generated list of most recent 20 news articles from the newsflash page. This is done by keeping the news information in news.xml, and using a stylesheet, index.xsl to do the work. Another stylesheet, news-rdf.xsl is used to generate an RDF format file, news.rdf containing the headlines which can then be syndicated to other websites, like Daily DaemonNews.
Now to start scattering XML/XSLT around the rest of the site as necessary -- this should help remove many of the Perl scripts that are littering the tree doing useful things with the content.
Work on the FreeBSD Handbook continues apace, as we prepare to get it ready for the second printed edition. Anyone that wants to help contribute to this effort is encouraged to look at the task list of outstanding items.

We set up our tents beneath a large boulder-ous mountain, that looked like a humongous elephant when looked at from the right angle. This mountain side was easy to clamber up due to the shaped boulders that formed it and we the walk to the top provided us with yet another remarkable location to watch the sun at work. Tonight was pure artwork. The sun out-did herself. The red and pink took turns shading the clouds and as the sky grew closer and closer to black, the horizon seemed to be ablaze. The sun was showing off.
The following morning, we were very excited to be heading towards the Himba tribes. They are a nomadic tribe that we would have to search out as the guides don't know where they will be by the time we arrive in their location. This was an incredible experience! These people live on virtually nothing. They build their huts out of mud, cow dung and plants. The women put clay in their hair and wear jewellery (which did not cover up their bare chests - no support bras needed here). The small nomadic village has a holy line just ahead of the holy fire. Guests are not to cross this Holy Line unless they are invited. The Himba people were very welcoming to us, and allowed a translator to describe their way of life to us, as well as to ask them our quetions. A certain sort of red stone is crushed into a powder and then spread all over their skin so that when we shook hands with them our palms and fingers returned to us a new color. Instead of bathing or having showers, these people 'smoke' themselves. They have certain herbs and plants that they burn in a small pile and then they quat over top of the smoke that it creates and the smoke provides them with an inect repellent as well as a skin cleanser. Imagine 'smoking' yourself every morning rather than having a quick shower!
Children had different haircuts depending on whether they were a girl or a boy, how old they were, and whether they were circumcised or not...and so on
The children have nothing, and yet seem so happy. They play tag and a 'Duck, Duck, Goose' type of game, as well as run around with small toy cars made out of wire that had been bent and shaped. Over all, there was very much information passed onto to us about this Himba tribe, but we will let you look at the pictures of them rather than rambling on about their culture.
Hugs and Love,
Dana and Trevor

Now, I guess I'll go first.
I remember going to opening day (there weren't many theaters that did morning shows unless it was a Saturday or Sunday) at the theater that no longer is a theater. My mom and dad got there before anyone else had lined up, so we went to the Burger King (which is still a BK) across the parking lot for dinner. I recall watching people start to line up, and my chances at being first gone like Fett down a Sarlaac. BTW, some friends I met later in middle/high school were apparently at that same theater that night, but I didn't know who they were yet. That was the only time I saw ROJ in a theater, prior to the SE in the mid/late '90s.
Others, on this Happy Birthday to ROJ day?

I finally had the chance to see the movie yesterday afternoon. In the fashion of most Spielberg movies, the cinematography was awesome, good actors and acting. Unlike other Spielberg historical movies like The Pacific (a must see) and Band Of Brothers, Spielberg left out several important aspects of Lincoln's political life.
Most notably was the 13th Amendment. This movie attempted to portray Lincoln for something he really wasn't. In 1861 Lincoln support the first 13th Amendment which failed to pass. That one supported the slave states to determine the issue on their own. The second 13th Amendment in 1865 freed the slaves. Lincoln support of the second 13th Amendment was purely political as he wanted to keep Foreign goverments from getting involved with our Civil War and not from some deep anti-slavery conviction that Lincoln possessed!
Just want to set the record straight

Quick question about a Cantina I'm building. I have the basic structure completed, and now I'm ready to start painting, however, the material I used for the walls doesn't give me the correct texture I wanted.
I was thinking about finding some very thin plaster, or the stuff you use to repair dry wall, and going over the whole structure with it, this way too I can cover up any small gaps or uneveness that have occurred.
After that though, what should paint should I use, or is this even a good idea? I'd appreciate any and all feedback or tips anyone can give me.

You're doing great! Just keep up the maintenance, and hopefully you will find your bigger tank.
I always takes a while to educate yourself on something new. There is always a mistake or two, so know that it's common for there to be learning curve and you won't know it all right away.

Reply to Andrea,
The reason I put the water in the pitcher is so it can get to room temperature before I use it. Don't want to add temperature shock to everything else baby's having to deal with. I understand that the water is safe chemically as soon as the conditioner is added.
Tiari, I am continuing with the water changes and the fin clamping has stopped.
Beth, thank you for the encouragement.
If y'all can think of anything else you've run into with Betta care and want to share it with me, go right ahead. I enjoy learning, and would like to know more about common mistakes ahead of time so I don't have to repeat them. :-)
Thanks again to everyone for all the help!!!!

Gorgeous, golden soup! Zesty ginger and tangy orange juice balance the mellow flavor of carrots.
Use an immersion blender to easily puree this soup right in the slow cooker. It's a handheld, wand-shaped blender with a rotary blade at one end that you can put right into the soup.
Gingerroot, has a very different flavor than ground ginger, and they're not interchangeable. To prepare the gingerroot for this recipe, simply cut away the thin skin, then grate.

IDF Blue Circle Champion, Charlie Kimball, has gained the support of his fellow Chip Ganassi Racing Team (CGRT) teammates across NASCAR, INDYCAR and GRAND-AM, to unite for diabetes.
During the weekend of April 5-7, Kimball's teammate Jamie McMurray and Kimball himself will sport "Race with Insulin" paint schemes at Martinsville Speedway and Barber Motorsports Park, respectively, to show that with the right management plan and "team" support, people with diabetes can start to get their diabetes on track.
In addition to the special paint schemes, all other CGRT cars will run blue tire rims to help launch the next evolution of the Race with Insulin™ campaign.
"If our team can help others understand that even with diabetes, you can live life to the fullest, then we are glad to help," said Team Owner Chip Ganassi. "Charlie is an emerging talent in the race car, and he is an even better human being. A program like this speaks volumes about him."

Brad Womack Rejects Both DeAnna Pappas, Jenni Croftby Free Britney at . Comments
For Jenni Croft, it was not meant to be.
For DeAnna Pappas, it was not meant to be, either.
Brad Womack threw viewers a curveball last night as The Bachelor star did not give a final rose to either of his remaining ladies - Jenni Croft or DeAnna Pappas - during the season finale. His decision left both in tears.
"The fact that he didn't pick either one of us is harder to deal with," said DeAnna Pappas, a 25-year-old realtor and bartender from Neunan, Ga., who was rejected after Brad Womack had sent Jenni Croft packing.
"This is one of the worst feelings in the world... telling someone how you feel about them and they kind of just reject your feelings," Jenni Croft, a 27-year-old Phoenix Suns cheerleader hailing from Wichita, Ks., said. "[That's] the reason why it's so hard for me to tell people how I feel."
Brad Womack sits alone with the final rose, having chosen to dole it out.
After both girls had gone and met Brad Womack's family, Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas each had one more chance to impress Brad during a final set of solo dates. Then it was time for the big showdown ... who would it be?
Neither. Brad Womack said that he could see both DeAnna Pappas (left) and Jenni Croft (right) being his wife and found himself in quite a quandary. In the end, he found a unique and historic way out of this jam.
ABC will air a special The Bachelor: After the Final Rose episode in which Brad will explain his move and Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas get a shot at some additional answers from Mr. Womack on Tuesday, November 20. Should be hot.
Hopefully Brad Womack gets his ass beaten with a sock full of quarters by both of these vengeful ladies. Now that would be a surprise twist.
Take a look at how last night unfolded, from the family visits to the final rose ceremony, read our comprehensive episode guide to The Bachelor ...

I was asked by the Melbourne Newpaper The Age to comment on an Irish Free Energy invention.
I received this lovely piece of fan mail from James Stephens in response:
"Better get a new email address. I'm forwarding this one to all the over-unity enthusiasts I know of (a lot) in hopes they may flood you with material that might allow you to see beyond the end of your nose."

The clash of civilizations will be won . . . by thte highest bidder
What happens when America's most lethal military contractor becomes uncontrollably powerful?
His election promised a new day for America . . . but dangerous storm clouds are on the horizon. The newly inaugurated president, Joseph Gardner, pledged to start pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq on his first day in office—no questions asked. Meanwhile, former president Kevin Martindale and retired Air Force lieutenant-general Patrick McLanahan have left government behind for the lucrative world of military contracting. Their private firm, Scion Aviation International, has been hired by the Pentagon to take over aerial patrols in northern Iraq as the U.S. military begins to downsize its presence there.
Yet Iraq quickly reemerges as a hot zone: Kurdish nationalist attacks have led the Republic of Turkey to invade northern Iraq. The new American presi dent needs to regain control of the situation—immediately—but he's reluctant to send U.S. forces back into harm's way, leaving Scion the only credible force in the region capable of blunting the Turks' advances.
But when Patrick McLanahan makes the decision to take the fight to the Turks, can the president rein him in? And just where does McLanahan's loyalty ultimately lie: with his country, his commander in chief, his fellow warriors . . . or with his company's shareholders?
In Rogue Forces, Dale Brown, the New York Times bestselling master of thrilling action, explores the frightening possibility that the corporations we now rely on to fight our battles are becoming too powerful for America's good.

RE:Color my world
The the most thought-provoking part of Kenny's presentation for me was the issue that we look at a fly based on how it looks in reflected light above water. Ken seemed to imply that the most typical situation while fishing is one where the fish is observing the fly in contrast. I agree those shots showng the translucent images of the smaller baits were eye-popping. Now, as the baits get bigger (macks, herring, adult pogies etc) they lose that translucent nature and become more opaque, that might be one of the reasons why as the baits get larger it is more important to match the size & profile instead of the actual coloration.
And then there's whole 'energy' thing........
RE:Color my world
Being one with the fly and trying to match what nature has conceived is what this is all about...and it's the inner joy that you feel, when you turn a pile of glitter and feathers into a functional extension of your imagination, that makes this passion so wonderful...and besides that, it's FUN and you get to meet some swell folks while you're at it. Chase that rainbow!
Color my world
Observed Kenny Abrames slide show at the Marlborough Flying Show this weekend. Not you typical slide show presentation, only two dozen pics. Lecture followed. All the shots were taken underwater featuring baitfish and crustaceans under normal light conditions. Not sure if all of them were taken on site. Some looked like they might have been taken as if you were looking through an Aquarium. Very interesting stuff though.
Some baitfish were front lit exposing the true colors of the prismatic scale. Others were backlighted, showing the bait as translucent, except in the areas of the organs of course.
Kenny analyzes and duplicates these color schemes that you see in his underwater shots. His line of saddle hackles reflect these earth tone hues.
A few years ago, a lamp manufacture (OTT) claimed clarity in true color reproduction. They claimed that their lamp produced the truest colors of natural light.
My question is, If you match the colors that you would normally see underwater at the tying vise, wouldn't that color scheme change once you submersed the fly under the media of water? Isn't it fruitless? What good is it really, when we try to match colors at the tying table? If we were doing dry flies, than I could understand, because you view them and fish them in the same light media.
I think I'll stick to my rainbow colors and prismatic color schemes and let nature take it's course. Any thoughts.

Still no useful code coming outta this parsec.
On the other hand, I could tell the author of a short Python program what it was doing and why. This is impressive only because I hadn't ever seen any Python code before and don't do object-oriented code. The nice thing is that I could finally see a reason for bothering with o-o design.
BTW, python looks cool and I can now see why there is a Make-Perl-Like-Python debate. Though I'm still not on the for side.
Canberra - The Windy City
Canberra is more beautiful than I had remembered. Perhaps it was the company :-)
Did the tourist thing - walked up Mt Ainslie. I'm so glad we did that before I'd seen the hill in profile - it wasn't nearly as strenuous as it later looked from the roof of Parliament House! The view from Mt Ainslie is gorgeous - and there's so much greenery in Canberra! It's a very pretty place.
Obviously, we also visited the new Parliament House, which is full of wonderful paintings. I had always wanted to see the Tom Roberts painting of Federation and now I have done! It's as dark as it looked in reproductions. As another tourist was saying - they didn't have any artificial light in 1901 and that's probably why the painting (set in the interior of a hall somewhere) is so dark.
Went to a couple of cafes and started to wonder if all Canberra waiters are on the effeminate side... it was almost like being in a Newtown cafe!
I was introduced to a number of books during my stay and have decided that I need to join a library and start on an extended reading list. I'll do this after I get back from Brisbane next week. One good thing about not having a life-partner is that I can get caught up in my own interests without feeling guilty.
One of the books I was introduced to links depression with pessimism. An interesting point is to assume that pessimism - the feeling or assumption that one can't - is the basis of (learned) helplessness and that this may be a causal factor of depression.
It's also interesting to read a philosophy PhD disagreeing vehemently with Freud's methods and conclusions...
lilo: The Corporation As
I agree with lilo's insight that a corporate entity is effectively a legal "person" which can display fear, hope and the need for instant gratification. In my recent experience, government departments can be described the same way. With bonus schitzophrenia for added fun.
ajv: Playing The Numbers Game
Unless you've got some proven, medical reason for getting to a particular weight, don't express your body-image in numbers. Expression of weight or self-image in terms of numbers (dress size, kgs, cms, BMI) is listed by Dolly as a cause for eating disorders in young women. I do understand you're neither female nor a teen, but that doesn't make you immune. YHBW!
Speaking of Newtown...
Canberra reminded me of a snippet of a Whitlams song, which isn't quite appropriate:
In love with this girl
And with her town as well
Walking 'round the rainy city
What a pity there's things to do at home...
If you haven't heard it - pick up the MP3 from their web site.

Pic of FattyQuote:
I have almost stuck with Chocolate Labs for the last thirty years, but when Alan Sanderfer won the Qual at Demopolis and "Fatty" came in season right after that we agreed to help him get her bred. She is due to whelp around the 20th of Jan. and has been in our house ever since she was bred at Greene, Lewis & Associates. She airs with our other house dogs (except with Lillie, Cleo's 5 lb. minie Snausuer, obnocious litle bitch, that barks at every thing) and gets along just fine. I was a little uneasy at first, since I had seen other Chessies that were protective of their space. Well, Fatty has been no trouble at all, is friendly, and even lets me take her temp when ever I want to check it. She is truly a love to be around and even youdels for us now and then. She has changed my mind about the breed as far as i.m concerned.
Now Alan has another younger liver Chessie bitch on his truck and was out at our place doing some training and let a yellow Lab out of its hole and in her excitement, she jumped up on me. The little Chessie taught her that she should not jump on "her people". Kind of supprised me, but I did not get jumped on any more. Beginning to like those frizzy coated brown dogs even more! Nice dogs, Bill

Family: Percidae, Perches and Darters view all from this family
Description 2" (5 cm). Mottled dark markings on sides and back, sometimes forming bands; brown to black in female; alternating reddish and bluish in male. Female yellow to white below. Male red to orange below. Dorsal fin banded in red and blue, colors brighter in male, duller in female. Other fins have blue bases in male; speckling in female. Three black spots near base of tail; in male an additional 2 yellow or orange spots.
Endangered Status The Watercress Darter is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered Alabama, where it lives in Jefferson County. This fish is native to three spring systems, and has been successfully transplanted in a fourth. Any species that exists in small, isolated populations in restricted habitats is extremely vulnerable. In fact, one of the spring populations was reduced to a single female when the owner of the spring introduced Grass Carp into the pond to crop the aquatic vegetation, on which the darter depends. That spring and its outlying habitats was purchased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and established as the Watercress Darter National Wildlife Refuge in 1980. The darter pond was revegetated and repopulated with darters, and a second pond was established for another population downstream.
Habitat Pools, ponds, and runoff from spring systems.
Range Jefferson County, Alabama

I can appreciate that Lego does not want to use brown for a Lando head because they claim that would establish the yellow heads as being ethnically white.
But I have to wonder, if yellow does not equal white, why the hell haven't they made a Lando figure by now? Just make him with a yellow head, give him a distinct moustache and black hair piece, and with the blue baron administrator garb I'll have a Lando figure. Sheesh, it's not like Lego sets out to create realistic likenesses.
Again, I do appreciate Lego's perspective but I think it's terrible that Lando has not been made yet. I don't know if they're influenced by the Simpsons, but within the world of Lego yellow is the fantasy color of humans. Hayden Christensen is white, and I have a yellow figure of him. Billy Dee Williams is black, but I can't have a yellow figure of him? Makes no sense to me, I urge Lego to get on with the business of adding a Lando themed set to my collection.
Since there is not a Dear Lego forum here, I hope that someone (hint hint JT ) might bring this up to them. And if you know anything else about this situation, I'd be eager to hear it.

Hi Paul, I used the 100-400 f4.5-5.6 @ 400mm with the Canon t2i which has a crop factor about 1.6 hence the 629.1mm focal length.
629mm focal length? What lens/combo are you using?
Thank you Gerald. I had the same feeling at once.
This is a great pano Karim. What I really like about it is that there's so much in it that you *can't* see when fully zoomed out. Makes the exploration all that more fun!

text: Sign Tracks and droppings seldom noticed. Best signs are molehills, long ridges heaved up by animal as it burrows near the surface of the ground, on lawns, in meadows, or in woodlands. These ridges differ from the tunnel cores of pocket gophers by being covered with leaf litter or small growing plants. Mounds of soil are often pushed out of burrows; such mounds do not contain an entrance.

Thread: Help with plants care/nutrients
Help with plants care/nutrients
Hey gang. We just added a bunch of live plants to our 20 gallon tank and want to make sure we give them what they need.
First off should we start a nutrient program as soon as they are planted or give it time before we feed them? If so how long?
It's a 20 gal high tank
We have a Nova Extreme SLR 48 watt T5 fixture with a Flora sun bulb and a Ultra sun bulb.
Here are the plants we have in the tank:
Floating: Anacharis and Water sprite
Planted: water wisteria, amazon sword, micro sword, Anubis nana, java fern, cryptocoryne undulata, cabomba, jungle val
We bought root tabs (API root tabs), have seachem Flourish (liquid)
Should we get anything else? Will we need to supplement with CO2? If so does Flourish excel work?
Am I missing anything? We don't want to go chemical crazy the goal is to give just enough to keep everything healthy! Hence the questions now before we start dong what we "think" is right.
We did read the nutrients sticky and will probably read it 12 more times! Lol
You wlll need the root tabs at about 2 tabs per plant every months.Liquid flourish at the normal dose would be helpful as well. no co2 will be needed for your system.
So with what I have now that's like 20 tabs a month. Seems like alot.
Should I wait a few days, week before I start and let the plants settle in or start right now?

With that light fixture, (2 T5HO bulbs, right?), you have a high light high tech tank. I think you're going to have to get serious with using CO2 and up your dosing with a complete fertilizer.
Light drives the uptake of nutrients. High light means high nutrient requirements. That includes carbon from CO2. Excel isnt going to hack it with 2 HO bulbs.
Until you get some experience with plants, I suggest dimming the fixture somehow. Either raise the fixture, or take out one of the bulbs, or put a screen between the light and the tank. If you dont cut the lights I believe you'll soon have an algae farm.
It's good that you're dosing Flourish with the API root tabs. API tabs are major nutrients only while Flourish is basically the trace nutrients. But your Sword plant is a heavy root feeder so I'd look at trying to get some of the trace nutrients down to the roots by using Flourish tabs. Flourish tabs are also basically trace elements but they are slow release unlike the API tabs.
Yes they are high output bulbs. Zoomed Florasun and Ultrasun to be exact.
So Api tabs in the tank spread around and the flourish tabs just near the swords? Or do those all over also and don't use the liquid at all?
As for Co2. I've been told excel is all I need with my setup and I've been told that excel will not help me and that I need to inject Co2.. I certainly don't want an "algae farm". Hell I bought this light on the advice of someone on the forums that uses zone on their tank.

I disagree somewhat with what's been said. A 20H is a tall tank, same as a 29 I believe and 48W directly on the tank with proper reflectors does not put your substrate at very high light. Medium-high is more realistic.
You should follow the directions on the root tabs to see how they should be spaced and how often they should be replaced.
For the plants you've listed, you don't really need a CO2 setup. Dosing a carbon supplement like Easy-carbo or excel will help, but you should be careful with these compounds as they are toxic to both fish and plants in high enough doses.
The cheapest setup you could hope get going would be a 20oz paintball canister with a proper regulator. However, these things run out fast and it usually involves some work on your part.
A 5lb CO2 can with a proper regulator that has a solenoid along with all the fittings and hosing without a fill will probably run close to $200.


text: Two years ago I set out on a mission to loose 35 lbs. I stepped on the scale today and passed that goal and have now set a new one. I've now got until June 12th this year which will be the big 50 to fit back into my wedding dress. So I have 2 and half months and I'm guessing maybe 12 lbs. Wish me luck!
