Where I stayed
Lake Tekapo Grandview B&B
From Oamaru, we took the bus the next morning to Lake Tekapo which I had really been looking forward to. The views on the way were amazing because Lake Tekapo is about 700m above sea-level so you work your way up through mountains and we saw the most stunning blue lakes as you can see in the pictures
The next day, me and Catherine got a transfer to Mount Cook (the largest mountain in New Zealand) where we did a 4 hour walk through the Mount Cook National Park. It was hard work for an unfit person such as myself but I was proud of myself for doing it!
We reluctantly left the gorgeous Lake Tekapo behind and headed to Christchurch. This is where me and Catherine parted ways as she took a day trip rafting and I continued to a small town, that not many backpackers seem to go to, called Akaroa.
Akaroa is the most beautiful place I have been as yet in my life. It is situated on the Banks Peninsula not so far from Christchurch but it feels like a little paradise tucked away in the hills. It completely took my breath away as we came over the first hill and saw the various bays and villages
Today when I woke up in Akaroa I took a trip on the Fox II which is an old sailing boat (or ketch) where we saw other parts of the peninsula, some seals and a couple of dolphins! It was a good trip and a relaxing way of seeing the sights!
Tonight I am staying in Christchurch again and tomorrow I catch the bus to Kaikoura where you can do whale-watching and dolphin swimming!

Extensibility is a key feature of any card-carrying browser, and with such an expansive library of extensions, Google Chrome has given users more customization options than ever before. Just like iPhone apps, there increasingly seems to be a browser extension for just about everything. And the right combination of them can make using your browser a more enjoyable experience. In no particular order, here's our list of favorites that will make your browser more comfortable and useful than ever before.
1. Lazarus
This is one of those extensions that you might not use every day, but when you do, you'll be really thankful you installed it. Lazarus is a form recovery extension that temporarily stores things you've written in online forms and applications. If a page times out, crashes, or refreshes when you click 'next', all you have to do is click Lazarus' icon and it will autofill all of the fields that your browser so rudely deleted without your permission.
2. Hover Zoom
Similar to the popular extension Facebook PhotoZoom, Hoverzoom is a lesser-known extension that does the same thing — but on way more sites than just Facebook. Once installed, this add-on will enlarge pictures to their full size whenever you place your cursor over them. So rather than clicking on images and being redirected to a separate page in order to see them full size, all you have to do is hover. Although it doesn't work with every picture on the web, developers have worked hard to make it work on hundreds of the most popular sites on the Net, and they're constantly adding to the list. A must-have for lazy browsing.
3. AdBlock
As it is currently the most popular extension for Chrome, you've probably heard about this one. It's a powerful tool for blocking all advertisements on the Web — banner ads, flash ads, video ads, text ads, Facebook ads, and more. It runs quietly, and makes for a clean, distraction-free browsing experience, so its no surprise that over 7.5 million people use it.
4. Ghostery
We hate to break it to you, but browsing the Net is anything but private. Many of the sites you visit collect information on what pages you're viewing, the links you're clicking, and the time you spend on each page. Why? Companies pay big bucks for third-party data collection agencies to analyze this information so that they can deliver you precisely targeted ads — it's how Internet advertising works. Don't like being watched? Ghostery allows you to block over 1,000 different trackers and bugs, including Google AdSense, Facebook Connect, and a long list of others you've never even heard of. If you want to browse the interwebs without the accompanying paranoia of knowing your every click is being monitored and recorded, give Ghostery a try.
5. LastPass
Chrome already has a built-in password saving function, but it's not nearly as full-featured as LastPass. Essentially, LastPass saves all your passwords in a secure, locally encrypted vault, and will autofill username and password info when you click on the icon. You can also have Lastpass generate highly-secure passwords for you at the click of a button, which decreases the chance that they can be guessed by password cracking software or a mischievous roommate. Passwords are encrypted locally, which means that not even LastPass can view them.
Ever read the meta-description under a link listed in Google's search results, but after clicking the link you discover that the relevant snippet you just read has been lost among a sea of text? Google quick scroll saves you time and energy by highlighting the sentences that were relevant to your original query, and providing you with a clickable list of them in the bottom-right corner of your browser. If clicked, the page will quickly scroll down to the highlighted text — allowing you to find useful information faster and more efficiently.
7. Facebook Open Graph Redirect
If you spend any time on Facebook, there's a high likelihood that you've come across apps like SocialCam, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Viddy, and others that will post media your friends are watching/reading to your news feed. Its a cool idea, but it gets really annoying when you click the link and are forced to install the website's Facebook app before you can view the desired media. FOGR allows you to bypass all that and just go straight to the video or article that your friend posted without any pesky app installations.
Most computers come with some kind of native calculator application, but if you'd rather not switch between programs just to do a quick calculation, give this extension a try. Developed by Google, the powerful little calculator can handle just about anything you throw at it: two plus two, π×82, problems with mixed variables or archaic measurements, and much more. It also speaks English, so you can ask it things like "how many cups in a gallon" and it will still give you an answer. Just click the icon and Cloudy Calculator pops up as a drop-down window that will disappear if you click away, so you don't even need to navigate away from the page you're on.
9. BugMeNot
Let's say you're reading a blog or online article, and you feel compelled to leave a comment. Oftentimes, you're required to register as a member of the specific blog or site, or maybe sign in with Facebook. This can be a tedious process. BugMeNot allows you to bypass these kinds of compulsory registration procedures. If you happen to to be on one of the thousands of sites that the extension works with, an icon will appear in your Omnibox, allowing you to enter BugMeNot's login info with a single click. Like most extensions, it doesn't work with every site, but since users can add sites themselves, the list is growing rapidly every day.
10. Clickable Links
This is an extension that you honestly won't notice once its been installed, but if you were to uninstall it after using it for a month, you'd surely notice a difference. This one takes any URL or email address that isn't clickable, and turns it into a blue hyperlink. Nothing too complex here, but the small bit of added convenience makes using Chrome that much easier.
11. Offline Mail
If you regularly find yourself in situations where you're unable to connect to the Internet, but you'd still like to respond to a few emails, then this extension is for you. Mail can be read, responded to, archived, and searched without network access. As soon as Chrome is opened and an Internet connection is available, the extension will automatically synchronize all messages and queued actions. Essentially, it lets you do everything Gmail normally lets you do, and stores all those actions until it has a Internet connection and can actually execute them.
12. Speed Dial 2
Chrome's startpage becomes customizable with this extension, allowing you to skip scrolling through your ridiculously long list of bookmarks, and add buttons for the pages you visit the most. Speed Dial 2's clean and easy-to-navigate interface makes it a pleasure to use, and adds some panache to your startup screen.
13. Web of Trust (WOT)
You'll never have to worry about the safety of the links you click on ever again with WOT, a user ratings-based app that will let you know if a particular link is good or bad before you click it. Once installed, it will place a color-coded circle next to every clickable link on the Web, which informs you how safe the link is. Hover over the link to see more detailed ratings of the site like trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy and child safety. With a user community of well over half a million people, you can usually trust that WOT's ratings are accurate.
14. RSS Subscription Extension
If you're a fan of RSS, this extension is a must-have. Developed by Google, the program automatically sniffs out any RSS links on the site, and will display a familiar orange icon in your Omnibox that, if clicked, will give you a drop-down menu filled with available feeds you can subscribe to. At time of writing, it works with Google Reader, iGoogle, Bloglines, and My Yahoo, but users are free to add any Web-based feeder they like.
15. PriceBlink
Even if you don't do a lot of online shopping, this extension is awesome. By compiling thousands of different online retailers, PriceBlink compares the price of the items you click against thousands of other sites on the Web to find you the lowest option. It's got a minimalist, unobtrusive design that doesn't use much space when its working, and disappears entirely when you're not using it.
That wraps up the list, but if we left out any of your favorites be sure to tell us about them in the comments!

Well, as usual, it is a long time since my last entry.
Notice that ijbswa changes named, and is now named privoxy.
Things a, also as usual, pretty messy around here. A few updates:
- I'm now an Editor on the Linux In Brazil news site (see brain)
- Our new internet link, mentioned a earlier, is giving us a headache. Not as bad as the old one, but almost there.
- privoxy is aproching release 3.0
- I'm working on a news site engine. Basicaly, for the fun of it, but I think I'll turn it into a corporate portal engine, something I have been missing on the open software market

Slideshow: Bernd Rosemeyer - His Career in Photos
The new Mazda6 GX SKYACTIV-D GRAND-AM racers are brand-spanking new, so teething troubles weren't unexpected. Unfortunately, they came in the form of retirement for all three participating cars.
Here we see the #00 Visit Florida car, the first of the customer Mazda diesels, as it was towed into the pits after losing power on the track.
Considering that the #00 and #25 cars were driven for the first time less than a week earlier, perhaps problems like this weren't a surprise.

Having re-written the lyrics to John Lennon's current hit song 'Give Peace A Chance', the group of friends, all from North Clapham in London, took advice and sought John's approval. To their great surprise John raved about their recording and sanctioned its release. It was a one-off deal, and rather low-key. There was a press ad in America, but no publicity photographs.
The group found its name via the Apple Press Office when Derek Taylor's secretary Mavis Smith, warm cocoa-based beverage in hand, suggested 'Hot Chocolate Band'. Their two songwriters, Errol Brown and Tony Wilson, signed to Apple Publishing for a while, and showcased a couple of originals plus 'Give Peace A Chance' when John booked the band to open his Peace For Christmas UNICEF benefit show that December. Errol and Tony wrote 'Think About Your Children' for Mary Hopkin and, after Apple, the group scored UK hits in each and every year throughout the Seventies.

For a cool $600,000 in monthly rent, a one-of-a-kind mansionin the heart of Beverly Hills could be yours.
The 50,000-square-foot mansion, which sits on a hilltop inthe coveted 90210 zip code, boasts 29 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, even a nightclub.It also has a storied history.
"This is as legendary a view from a Hollywood movie ascan be," real estate agent Jeff Hyland said, pointing out the famous staircasefrom "The Godfather."
Once owned by magnate William Randolph Hearst and actressMarion Davies, the home was seen in the movies, "The Godfather" and "TheBodyguard." President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy even honeymoonedat Beverly Hills House.

There's probably already a thread about this, but oh well.
Did anyone watch TPM last night? I saw a little bit, but I generally don't watch them when they're on TV. The fullscreen was absolutely horribly done; most of the time you could only see half a face. It seemed like they had also zoomed in slightly, but I was probably just imagining that part. There were some pretty cool bumps though with concept art.
Also, in an e-mail yesterday, I got this:

| A trio of siblings quietly opened a tiny corner pub 20 years ago on Peachtree Street in Atlanta that served craft beer, liquor, and single malt Scotch along with "a really good hamburger." Although the original location of Vortex Bar and Grill closed when it relocated to a larger loft building a few blocks away, the crowds still pack the bar and its sister location in Little 5 Points for their juicy half-pound sirloin hamburger. But, be nice when you come here. The trio is known to physically remove rude clientele from its "Idiot-Free Zone."

| Since taking over the Harvard Spa, a small convenience store, in 1960, Joe and Joan Bartley's plan has been simple: to perfect the hamburger. They started small, setting up a small grill next to the greeting cards and paper goods that were sold in the store. As word traveled, the Burger Cottage took off. The homemade burgers, onion rings, sweet potato fries, frappes, and lime rickeys are served in a dining room that resembles a dorm room, complete with posters and bumper stickers, fitting, since Mr. Bartley's is right on Harvard Square.

According to Dr. Scott Sicherer at New York's Jaffe Food Allergy Institute, having one food allergy can put you at a higher risk for reaction to other foods.
A person may be generally predisposed to have food allergy and be allergic to multiple, unrelated common allergens such as peanut, egg and milk. Or, a person may be allergic to multiple foods only because those foods share similar proteins. He emphasizes that being allergic to more than one member of a food "family" varies by the food group, and should bediscussed with your allergist. Sicherer describes a number of relationships among food allergies:
- The peanut allergic have only a 5 per cent chance of reacting to other legumes. The one exception, he says, is the lupin bean. European studies have shown half of people with peanut allergies react to beans from the lupin plant.
- People allergic to one tree nut have a one-in-three chance of allergy to other tree nuts. However, certain nuts tend to pair together, Sicherer says. Cashews and pistachios are similar, walnut and pecan allergies can come together, and almond and hazelnut reactions sometimes go hand in hand.
- Although tree nuts and peanuts are unrelated foods, reacting to both is common. The odds vary by study, but Sicherer says that between one-third to half of peanut-allergic people also have a tree nut allergy.
- A third of the people in the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network's peanut and tree nut allergy registry also have an allergy to egg. Allergy to chickens' eggs also increases the likelihood of reacting to other bird eggs, such as quail.
- An allergy to one kind of shellfish puts you at a 75 per cent risk of being allergic to another crustacean.
- It you're allergic to one type of fish, such as sole, there's a 50 per cent chance you'll react to other fish, like cod or bass.
- Allergies to a grain, such as wheat, put you at a 20 per cent risk of reacting to another grain, like barley.
- Twenty two per cent of the nut and peanut allergic people in the FAAN registry are also allergic to milk.
- A person allergic to cow's milk has a 90 per cent chance of allergy to the milk of most other mammals. About 10 per cent of people who react to milk may also have a problem with beef.
- Allergy to fruit puts a person at a 50 to 90 per cent risk for reacting to other fruits, Sicherer says.

Viera Wetlands #2
About these wetlands…
This constructed wetland system consists of four shallow marshes and a deep central lake, each component surrounded by earthen berms. Constructed in 1998, the entire site totals about 200 acres.
In addition to polishing reclaimed discharge water from the adjacent wreatment facility, these wetlands were designed to support abundant native wildlife and a diverse mix of natural vegetation.
These wetlands and their adjoining properties provide habitat for several threatened and endangered species, most notably Crested Caracara, which can be seen almost daily. In November 2002, the first verified Mangrove Swallow sighting in the continental US was recorded at this site. In April 2008, this site was accepted into the Great Florida Birding Trail.
This Gigapan was taken with a Nikon D800 camera and a Nikon 28-300mm lens set at 300mm. This gigapan consists of 198 images stitched into one large Gigapan using the Gigapan Stitch.EFX 2.1.0161 software.

text: Hi all. First time poster long time lingerer. My first Lab I trained to hunt, great at birds in the decoys, ob in the blind , and simple cast. A good meat and potatoes dog. I then got Jelly her granddaughter shortly before Gina passed. When Gina passed I just couldn't bring myself to train. Jelly didn't lose many birds, she would go forever after a running downed pheasant. But she was not very good in the blind, no manners, my fault. When Jelly started to get to old, I started looking for a pup, joined a retriever club, went to there events, pitched in, and that was it the begining of it all. To see what these dogs are capable of I was hooked. My buddy lost his lab shortly before Jelly passed so he also got a new lab. I told him that I was going to run hunt test with my new one, I made a promise to Jelly that I'd never waste a good dog agian. So we both started on the path. We then started playing with field trial setups. and now we are out there everyday training. And we are both addicted. And lovin it.

Enrollment Exceptions
On a case by case basis, the Office of Financial Aid may make exceptions to scholarship enrollment requirements. Students dropping below full-time status prior to the end of the 100% refund period will have their scholarship cancelled for the term.
Circumstances include:
Full Tuition Scholarships
If you have a full tuition scholarship and are registered for more than 18 credit hours in any term, please send an email to email@example.com so that your tuition award can be increased to cover the additional tuition costs.
Special Circumstances
Please e-mail email@example.com regarding special circumstances that may affect your scholarship, such as co-op, internship, study abroad, or attending part time due to degree requirements or nearing graduation. Requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Undergraduate/Graduate Mixed Enrollment
Undergraduate scholarship recipients who are registered in both undergraduate and graduate courses during an academic term for combined full-time enrollment, must notify our office to ensure release of scholarship disbursements.
Leave of Absence
If you will not be attending an academic term due to circumstances such as a birth of a child, co-op, study abroad, being called to active duty by the military, etc., you may request a scholarship leave of absence by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. By doing so, you will be able to utilize your renewable scholarship when you return to Wright State University without losing a term of eligibility.
Summer Scholarship Requests
Renewable scholarships may be requested for use in the summer by contacting RaiderConnect each spring. You must be registered for summer classes prior to making your request. Please note that most scholarships require you to attend full-time. By using the scholarship during summer, one academic term of eligibility is counted and renewal stipulations (GPA and hours) apply.
Approval to use a renewable scholarship during summer is based on review of current academic progress, remaining eligibility and projected graduation. Your renewable scholarship for summer will be canceled if you do not meet renewal requirements after spring grades are posted. If applicable, your renewable scholarship eligibility will be reviewed after summer grades are posted to be sure you still meet renewal requirements to receive your award for the remainder of the academic year.
SAP Policy for Renewable Scholarships
The academic history of students receiving Academic Performance Scholarships and Miscellaneous Renewable Scholarships will be annually reviewed for two standards by the Office of Financial Aid to determine renewable scholarship eligibility:
- Cumulative GPA
- Number of credit hours earned during annual review (or cumulative credit hours earned)
The final review process for renewable scholarship SAP requirements is performed after spring grades are posted. If scholarship SAP requirements are met and the student has at least one term of unused scholarship eligibility remaining, the scholarship is automatically renewed and posted to the student's Award Notice for the following academic year.
NOTE: Students who have received scholarships from the category of College and Department Scholarships will have the renewal decisions made by the awarding college or department.
Cumulative GPA and Credit Hours Requirements
Students must meet both the minimum cumulative GPA and credit hours in order to maintain scholarship/award eligibility at Wright State University.
|SAP Status
|Minimum Cumulative GPA
|Credit Hours Required Per Year
|Good Standing
*In order to meet the 30 credit hours required, students should earn an average of 15 credit hours per semester.
|SAP Status
|Minimum Cumulative GPA
|Credit Hours Required Per Year
|Good Standing
*In order to meet the 24 credit hours required, students should earn an average of 12 credit hours per semester.
|SAP Status

|SAP Status
|Minimum Cumulative GPA
|Credit Hours Required Per Year
|Good Standing
*In order to meet the 12 credit hours required, students should earn an average of 6 credit hours per semester.
Calculating Renewal Eligibility Requirements
For scholarship renewal purposes, cumulative GPA and credit hours earned during the current academic year are reviewed. If the minimum required hours are not met, cumulative hours will be reviewed. For example:
- If the scholarship requires 30 credit hours per year, after 4 terms of scholarship eligibility are used, the student should have earned 60 credit hours (4 semesters x 15 hours per semester = 60 cumulative hours).
- If the scholarship requires 24 credit hours per year, after 4 terms of scholarship eligibility are used, the student should have earned 48 credit hours (4 semesters x 12 hours per semester = 48 cumulative hours).
Note: Cumulative credit hours also include Post-Secondary Education Opportunity (PSEO), College Credit Plus (CCP), Advanced Placement (AP) hours earned during high school as well as transfer credit hours.
If the total hours earned and cumulative GPA meets the requirement for renewal of the scholarship and the student has remaining eligibility, the scholarship is awarded for the following aid year.
If you do not meet the renewal requirements of your scholarship (hours and/or cum gpa), you will receive a letter via US Mail after all spring grades and adjustments are complete. However, students may attend the following summer semester to make up any deficient hours, and/or raise their cumulative GPA. If you are registered for summer classes, please send an email to email@example.com AFTER your summer grades have posted if you feel your eligibility status has changed. We are unable to review your eligibility until all your summer grades are posted.
Calculating Remaining Eligibility
Renewable Scholarships are awarded for 4 years (8 semesters) of full-time undergraduate study (except for transfer scholarships). For each academic term (semester) in which the student has not met the required renewal stipulations of the scholarship, one academic term of scholarship eligibility is lost.
SAP Status
- Good Standing: The student (a) has met the minimum required cumulative GPA and (b) earned the minimum required credit hours (or cumulative credit hours) during the annual review period for Good Standing. The scholarship is renewed and posted to the student's account for the following aid year based on remaining eligibility.
- Warning: The student has not met the SAP scholarship requirements for Good Standing. However, the student meets the requirements for Warning status and has remaining eligibility. A student is assigned a Warning status for no more than two academic terms, thus the award will be posted as eligibility permits. If, at the end of the Warning period, the student has not regained Good Standing, the scholarship is terminated. A student cannot be assigned a Warning after being assigned Good Standing by Appeal.
- Unsatisfactory: The student has not met one or both of the SAP scholarship requirements for Good Standing. The student is ineligible for the renewable scholarship for the following aid year. Students will remain ineligible unless they successfully appeal or re-establish eligibility on their own. Students may appeal one-time only for continued use of remaining eligibility. For each academic term (semester) in which the student has not met the required renewal stipulations of the scholarship, one academic term of scholarship eligibility is lost.
- Good Standing by Appeal: The student has successfully appealed an "Unsatisfactory" status and the renewable scholarship is awarded based on stipulations as stated in the scholarship appeal approval letter.
- Terminated: The student (a) has not met one or both of the SAP scholarship requirements for Good Standing and (b) had been assigned an Unsatisfactory or Warning status for a previous aid year and (c) has failed to regain Good Standing. The renewable scholarship has been terminated.
- Canceled: A finding of responsibility for a violation of academic misconduct will result in the cancelation of all university scholarships.
Students with a Warning, Unsatisfactory, or Terminated scholarship SAP status will receive written notification from the Office of Financial Aid via U.S. mail explaining the status and options available. To ensure receipt of this letter, please review your contact information in WINGS Express.
Appealing an Unsatisfactory SAP Status
Students who have been assigned an Unsatisfactory SAP scholarship status may submit an appeal. The option to appeal is only offered one-time during undergraduate studies.
To appeal, students must submit a written statement of their circumstance to the Office of Financial Aid. The letter of appeal should include an explanation that caused the difficulty and what steps will be taken to remedy the problem. Please include your University ID (UID) on all correspondence. Letters of appeal may be submitted via your Wright State University e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, by facsimile to (937) 775-4410, or mailed to: Wright State University, RaiderConnect, 108 Student Union, 3460 Colonel Glenn Hwy, Dayton, Ohio 45435. Students will receive a decision of the appeal via U.S. mail.
Appeals received for McLin, Wright STEPP or College and Department Scholarships will be forwarded to the appropriate individual/committee for review.
Reinstatement of Renewable Scholarship Eligibility
Students who have been assigned a Terminated or Unsatisfactory scholarship SAP status may re-establish eligibility on their own. University policy permits the scholarship to be reinstated when the required cumulative grade point average is achieved. To request a review for scholarship reinstatement, send written notification to email@example.com. For each academic term (i.e. quarter or semester) in which the student has not met the required renewal stipulations of the scholarship, one academic term of scholarship eligibility is lost.
Scholarship SAP and Federal Student Aid SAP
It is important to note that it is possible for a student to have a scholarship SAP issue and a federal student aid SAP issue at the same time. If a student has been notified of an issue with both SAP policies, they must submit an appeal for each issue. All appeals should be sent from the student's Wright State University email address. Scholarship SAP appeals should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on appealing an unsatisfactory SAP status for federal student aid, visit our Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal page.

London commuters likely rubbed their eyes on the way to work this morning watching 50 people trying to wriggle into an oversized pair of underpants at the city docks, and folks in Dublin did a double-take seeing 262 costumed Leprechauns file into a theater.
While onlookers might be forgiven for thinking the calendar had flipped forward to April Fool's Day, the underwear stuffers and charmed Irish elves were part of a contingent 300,000 strong around the globe competing to make history and gain entry into the world's most famed record book on the 7th annual Guinness World Records Day.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2012 (on this page)
The Guinness World Records is itself a record breaker: The best-selling copyrighted book in the world, it gets some 1,000 applications a week to make the mark in the 40,000 world record categories Guinness recognizes.
Stories from
- Craig Strickland's Widow on Their Last Conversation: 'He Walked Out the Door, Looked at Me and Said, "I Love You"'

- White House Responds to Petition to Pardon Making a Murderer Subjects Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey
- Family of Sandy Hook Victim Commends Florida Atlantic University for Firing Professor Who Questioned Massacre
- Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit Is Ruining Lives (According to the Internet, Anyway)
But each year, Guinness goes for broke in encouraging worldwide record-breaking in a 24-hour period — which makes for some unusual sights. Guinness editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday said at least half the fun is letting the everyman take a shot at immortality.Story: Two-faced cat sets record as oldest living 'Janus' cat
"You don't need to have a unique talent or possess super skills to take part in a world record attempt," he said. "That's the spirit of Guinness World Records Day — getting involved and having some fun.
"There are so many record attempts going on around the world on this one day that people won't have to look far for some first-hand recording breaking excitement."
Indeed, the records shattered on Guinness World Records Day spanned the globe: in Bologna, Italy, Micro Della Vecchia made a 15-meter long, 15,000 pound chocolate bar, while students in Mulhouse France fashioned a 15-foot-tall rag doll. In Australia, the largest group of ABBA impersonators ever assembled made their mark in history, while in China, 800 singles grouped to form the world's largest speed-dating event.
The Guinness World Records began in 1954 as a give-away book placed in local pubs to settle bar bets and promote Guinness Breweries' products, but when it became commercially available, it quickly rose to the top of best-seller lists.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2011 (on this page)
Along the way, the records listed in the book veered from the standard to the wacky. Trivia buffs looking for who is the world fastest human (Usain Bolt) or who has won the most Oscars (Walt Disney), won't find that info in the Guinness book — but they can find the most kites ever flown simultaneously (10,465 in Weifang City, China) or the most dogs gathered in costume (426 in Florida).
Story: Can you hear him now? Longest dog ears in the world
Some of the records set Thursday can warm the heart. Bernice Mary Bates of Pinellas Park, Fla., had her name added to the Guinness World Records Thursday in being recognized as the oldest yoga instructor in the world. A sprightly 91 years old, Bates began teaching yoga back in 1960, when most Americans couldn't tell yoga from yogurt.
But showing how keen the competition is to get into Guinness World Records, Bates had to prove her age — and just barely edged out yoga instructor Gladys Morris of Royston, England, who is just a few months younger.Slideshow: Guinness World Records 2010 (on this page)
Other U.S. Guinness winners recognized Thursday included the largest hula hoop workout, done by 221 students in New Port Richey, Fla., and the largest Soul Train dance, performed by 211 dancers in Berkeley, Cal.

Iodine is a trace mineral and a nutrient found naturally in the body.
Diet - iodine
Iodine is needed for the cells to convert food into energy. Humans need iodine for normal thyroid function, and for the production of thyroid hormones.
Iodized salt is table salt with iodine added. It is the main food source of iodine.
Seafood is naturally rich in iodine. Cod, sea bass, haddock, and perch are good sources.
Kelp is the most common vegetable-seafood that is a rich source of iodine.
Dairy products also contain iodine.
Other good sources are plants grown in iodine-rich soil.
Lack of enough iodine (deficiency) may occur in places that have iodine-poor soil. Many months of iodine deficiency in a person's diet may cause
Deficiency happens more often in women than in men. It is also more common in pregnant women and older children. Getting enough iodine in the diet may prevent a form of physical and intellectual disability called cretinism. Cretinism is very rare in the U.S. because iodine deficiency is generally not a problem.
Iodine poisoning is rare in the U.S. Very high intake of iodine can reduce the function of the thyroid gland.
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the food guide plate.
A 1/4 teaspoon of iodized table salt provides 95 micrograms of iodine. A 6-ounce portion of ocean fish provides 650 micrograms of iodine. Most people are able to meet the daily recommendations by eating seafood, iodized salt, and plants grown in iodine-rich soil. When buying salt make sure it is labeled "iodized."
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommends the following dietary intake for iodine:
*AI or Adequate Intake
Adolescents and Adults
Specific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or producing breast milk (lactating) need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.

TDK EB750 Headphones
" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum. The cord is also tangle free and feels very nice...." --thug behram
" Was generally attracted to these headphones by the wooden look and the odd buds at the end. Fifteen minutes later I was fairly shocked at the big package I got in such a small one. While these are great for portability, they are annoying when they get tangles (but that happens to all of them unless they are self retractable). All in all, great earbuds. " --thatnewguy15

There are some seriously crafty parents out there, like Lori Danelle who took shipping pallets and transformed them into the cutest toddler bed. So cute, in fact, you might even consider figuring out how to make this into your own adult size bed. Lori took two shipping pallets, cut them and pieced them together to make this eco- and kid-friendly toddler bed and even shares her hints and tips for the DIY project on her blog.
We first saw this amazing DIY project over at Design*Sponge as a before and after project and fell in love with Lori's great sense of style as well as her great use of recycled materials. The toddler bed would make for a super-fun weekend project that would end with your kiddo being super excited about their new "big kid" bed and even a great way to share the DIY and reuse mentality.
All you need are a two or three shipping pallets, some bolts and screws, 4 caster wheels, and various tools to cut and sand the pallets down to the right size. Lori gives a pretty good step by step with great photos to explain the process, which could easily be modified to create a larger bed for a regular twin or maybe even your own adult bed. Lori also gives a few good tips about pallets – make sure to look for pallets marked with a "HT" on the side, which stands for Heat Treated, instead of marked with "MB," which means the wood was treated with chemicals to protect it from insects.

Seriously?? I am all for reusing materials but this looks horrible. It would be more at place in a tent city than a child's bedroom. This is taking "shabby chic" a bit too far over the "shabby" edge.
I think it's adorable and want to know where I can order one! 🙂
Cuidado, los pallets generalemente se fumigan para poder ser exportados.
Beweare of toxic bug killers aplied to wood pallets for export
Old wood makes new concept of design,great…
That bed scares me because of the potential for staples and nails to work their way through the wood years or months later, and for the MASSIVE amount of bug spray applied to pallets to get them ready for export to the U.S. I'd never want my child sleeping next to that many chemicals.
I think it is a great idea and as a woodworker I can tell you that if it is prepared properly you won't have any stapes or nail to worry about. As far as the chemicals I would have to do some research. Yes some pallets come from overseas when things are shipped hear but a lot of the pallets that are around are made in the US. If you are worryed about the chemicals you could always use old barn wood or other types of recycled wood. Great idea thanks Lori.

While new tweaks are always welcome, i think activator does a fine job in the broken button scenario. I don't currently have any broken buttons but i have activator setup to lock with a swipe from the upper left corner of the status bar and that combined with Zephyr is a sweet combo. I rarely use the home or power buttons with this setup.
" SpotLight isn't very widely used anymore." - I wish someone had told me. I use it all the time. Guess I'm just a dinosaur.
I mainly use spotlight for Google and Wikipedia searches, but I still like it a lot for that. I would use it with Music, too, if it didn't turn off my full shuffle every time.

New York, March 31, 2011--The critical Ecuadoran daily El Universo, three of its executives, and its opinion editor could face jail time and hefty fines in a defamation complaint filed by President Rafael Correa last week. Correa should immediately drop the defamation suit and bring the country's press law into compliance with international standards on freedom of expression, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Click here for the Inside Ole Miss Sports Blog with Parrish Alford
ATHENS, Ga. – Ole Miss coaches knew their secondary would be a primary concern against Georgia, and Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray brought their fears to life Saturday afternoon.
Murray – when he wasn't getting sacked – torched the Rebels with four touchdown passes as the No. 7-ranked Bulldogs scored 37 unanswered points in a 37-10 homecoming win before 92,746 fans at Sanford Stadium.
Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) amassed 533 yards on 73 plays. The Ole Miss offense provided little help for its defense as it was held to a season- low 46 rushing yards and was forced to punt eight times.
"That was a pretty good beating Georgia put on us," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. "They whipped us, and offensively, we couldn't make any plays to give our defense much hope."
The Rebels (5-4, 2-3 SEC) sacked Murray five times in the first half but couldn't get to him over the final two quarters.
With cornerbacks Senquez Golson and Wesley Pendleton out with injuries – two of the Rebels' top three at the position – Murray produced big gains when he had time.
At one point in the third quarter, Murray was 13-for-19 for 315 yards, an average gain of 24.2 yards per per completion.
"I could sit there and use it for an excuse. You know as well as I do, those guys are our starters, and I'd rather have them back in there doing what they do," defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. "These guys are leading the East, and I think Mark Richt and his staff do a tremendous job." Not all of the secondary problems were of Collins' making. He was beaten for a 40-yard score when Brown got behind him in the third quarter for a 28-10 Georgia lead.
But before that, there was a blown coverage by safety Trae Elston when Murray started scrambling in the final seconds of the first half and threw 40 yards to Tavarres King for the points.
"We were in deep thirds, and our young safety floats over, so we've got two safeties in the middle of the field," Wommack said. "You've got to go through some experiences sometime. I hate to say that, but you've got to understand why."
Georgia's first touchdown – after Ole Miss led 10-0 – was well-set up and executed. The Rebels had early success in the run game, Murray's sold the fake by acting non-chalant in the pocket and hiding the ball from view. Then he turned and Marlon Brown for a 66-yard score.
Ultimately, Charles Sawyer was beaten too as Murray put an exclamation point on his day with a 23- yard pass to Rantavious Wooten and a 37-10 lead with 8 minutes, 29 seconds remaining.
Ole Miss took the opening kick and drove for a 34-yard Bryson Rose field goal. The Rebels made it 10-0 when Bo Wallace passed 13- yards to tight end Jamal Mosley.
The Rebels were up 10-7 when Denzel Nkemdiche recovered a Georgia fumble on the Bulldogs' side of the 50. Wallace's first pass was complete to Vincent Sanders to around the 15, but Sanders fumbled it back to Georgia.
That came within a sequence of four turnovers within a minute until Georgia settled in and took the lead near the end of the half.
Wallace hit 13 of his first 16 passes but finished 16 for 25 for 187 yards, a TD and an interception. "We were sitting on the sidelines with 20 seconds left telling each other, 'Hey, we've got to get better," Wallace said. "Maybe we're not as good as some people thought we were. We have five wins. We need one more win to be bowl-eligible, and we know we can win any football game we're in."

Summer Salon 2012: Rina Banerjee
The Indian born, New York City based artist Rina Banerjee has a love of materials, heritage textiles, fashion, colonial objects and furnishings, and historical architecture, due to their ability to disguise, animate, and locate their inherent meanings in her art work. She has said that her work explores "specific colonial moments that reinvent place and identity as complex diasporic experiences." Her preoccupation with the role of culture, mythology, fairy tales, anthropology, and ethnography fold into trajectories of race, exotic capital, and the forces of our migration-mobility, tourism, and global commerce. The tensions and desires created out of our individual, increased travel, and our access to information technologies, have perforated traditional boundaries, creating a malleability that reflects a globalized sense of space and a diminished experience of dominant culture paradigm.

In this inquisitive documentary about the complicated power of charity, a teenager in Africa builds a scrap-metal windmill in order to transform his village, but finds his entire life altered forever.
WILLIAM AND THE WINDMILL (Ben Nabors | Malawi | 92 min.)
In a tiny village in Malawi, a teenage boy decided to do something himself. Though forced to drop out of school for financial reasons, the boy hungered for knowledge, and borrowed books from the threadbare library. But like 98% of people in his impoverished country, his home had no access to electricity, no way to read after dark, after work. So he gathered bicycle tires and scrap wood, discarded tractor parts and flattened PVC tubing, and began to assemble a tower, the tallest structure for miles around. To power his house, 14-year-old William Kamkwamba built himself a windmill. He could now read at night, and charge a cell phone to communicate outside his village. Soon he was traveling the world, invited by powerful institutions and global leaders to tell the story of how a little bit of information, a little bit of help, had changed his life forever.
The beginning of William's story reads like a fairy tale, but whether he lived happily ever after is the central question of this intimate and thought-provoking documentary. Upon being "discovered," William was given many opportunities: he spoke at the TED conference, co-authored an auto-biography, went on lecture tours. But opportunities also open the door to stresses, and William sometimes struggled with the good will sent his way. The motivations of his sponsors appear beneficent, seemingly doing their best instructing him how to succeed (in their world). But it's also achingly clear that the shy and agreeable William has made tremendous compromises in the process of pursuing his new future.
And so this inspiring story of transformation also becomes a cautionary fable about the limits of charity, and the fissures across social divides that maybe cannot be bridged. As William embarks on a sponsored matriculation at an Ivy League university, not fully comprehending the nature of his situation and quietly wishing to return to anonymity, we don't know what's best for him. It's still an open-ended question.
You can be a part of William's story, and help his village, at www.movingwindmills.org
