Bronco Abroad: Save money or save time on travel
Last years's Breaking News Editor Suzanne Craig chronicles her adventures while studying abroad in Sweden.
Some trips are worth it though, so research ahead of time is a good idea. Unless you are one of those lucky people who can fling money at a problem until it gets fixed, the money you save can be worth the time you spend.
An example is the Glass/Moose trip the local international student organization (VIS) set up. It was 150 kroner for the day trip, which is about $25 and it included a tour of a local glassworks, a couple hours in a glass-outlet mall for lunch and a moose nature reserve. Most of the cost was in the transportation. Considering there weren't any direct bus routes from town to the glassworks or the moose park, at least two, maybe three tickets would have to be purchased. Add in the walking distance from the nearest stop to the attractions in miserable weather and the direct bus-ride in company of friends starts to look priceless.
Other trips, like the trip to Russia, are a bit of a rip-off, but the extra cost is for the added convenience. Arranging a weeklong trip to Russia while taking classes, trying to learn a new language and going through day-to-day life in a new country is possible. It's just a hassle that some don't feel is worth it. So instead, they pay the extra money for someone else to do all the work.
Then there is the final classification, the trips that gouge your pocketbook for no apparent reason. The IKEA outing organized by the VIS was another day trip, this one amounting to 125 kroner, around 20 dollars. The bus tickets necessary to go to IKEA independently are 22 kroner both ways, even if it does take longer to get there than it did on the VIS trip.
The tickets were all VIS covered, so the convenience charge was 81 kroner, a little over 13 dollars. This may seem not a big deal, but why go on a trip to IKEA if you weren't planning to buy something there? According to students who went on the trip, they also barely had enough time to look around before it was time to leave.
"We got there and most of us barely made it through the display floor when… it was time to go," Maliha Kaya, a student from Turkey, said.
Day-trips can often be organized without the student organizations help and you'll not only save money, you'll be able to keep your own schedule without worrying about being left behind by a bus (which happens). Longer trips, especially those outside the country, are usually the better deal. Not all destinations are serviced though, so getting used to planning your own day trips can serve as practice for planning a big trip later on.
Another option could be to not go on any trips at all, but why travel abroad if taking advantage of that wasn't the plan? As nice as the university's surrounding area may be, there's a whole country out there you should at least try to see. Also, passports can't collect stamps without crossing a few borders. Save some money for the study abroad year to travel around, don't become an apartment lurker.

Oh boy...what have I gotten myself into!?ReplyDelete
Elizabeth and Renai ...ReplyDelete
By all means pass it on! I knew the Juneau crowd would get it. That was my stroke of inspiration while I was being pelted with snain at about 3,000 feet up Mount Jumbo this morning.
Karen ... Don't worry. You're moving to Anchorage. My friends in Anchorage have been a bit complainy about the weather over there this summer, but I bet they've at least seen the sun sometime in July.
- Julie in Alaska3:57 PM
Yeah, we had two sun-filled days in July in southcentral AK, I think. It peeks out from time to time, otherwise. It's 55 degrees and rainy/cloudy now. I am definetly charging up my SAD visor light today. It was hard to believe I was feeling so bad in the middle of the summer! But it still beats ice underfoot and temps close to zero for days on end....so I will take summer anyway it comes.ReplyDelete

I think I need some sort of medal for the first use of "TVC".
Anyway, how about it? Even though I'll be opening the figures and I wasn't around for the original vintage run, even I think the packaging is gorgeous. I love the idea of getting figures on the vintage cards that weren't around in the '70s and '80s.
*Uncle Owen - this is the one that gave me the idea for this thread. There's a great-looking new Owen coming in the Visionaries comic pack, but the coloring isn't 100% accurate to ANH. Wouldn't it be awesome if they repainted him and put him on the vintage card?
*Dr. Evazan - pretty sure this one is coming, but it will still be awesome.
*Grand Moff Tarkin - we need a new one, and there wasn't one in the vintage line, so this would be really cool.
*Slave Leia - could just be a repack, but would still be cool.
*Darth Maul - this one could just be a repack of the Evolutions figure, but a TVC Maul would be killer.
*Jar Jar Binks - this guy needs a SA update, and I'm sure he'd sell better on a vintage card.
*General Grievous - now that they wouldn't need to spend the money for a droid part, hopefully they would release the 2008 figure with a cape.
I'm also looking forward to the other prequel characters here, but don't need to list them all. So, what would you like to see?

I would guess LSU will be 3 point road dogs.
It will be highly entertaining. I'm not sure LSU will go on the road this early & win in Athens.

Just gotta count on Richt to "come through" for you Whos as he (and Murray) always do come big game time.
LSU/GA will definately be a good one. I haven't made up my mind yet but i think lsu will pull it out. It's just hard to have faith in GA for big time games.
After watching Alabama play saturday, it was apparant that a lack of motivation was present,but my goodness was it awful to watch, no 3rd down conversion until the 4thQ. On several occasions we had loss of yd on handoffs due to the back running to the wrong side of qb. Under 100yrds of rushing. Sheww it was ugly. I havn't seen bama not wanna be in a game so bad since the Sugar bowl vs Utah st yrs ago. They better get things together quick. I have a feeling no one is gonna have to get Ole miss up for Saturdays game.
On the flip side we did have some big time players sitting out and did play alot of second and third team player through out the game.
You are playing your ex OC, at home, and Nick Saban is the coach, and they couldn't get motivated? I think there may be other issues in Tuscalousa (missed spelled for the benifit of Rookie Trainer dude). D just doesnt look as fast as years before and the O line needs to get it together.
I hope we are both undefeated going into the game in Tuscalousa but I think one or both could have a loss going into that game.
Never mind just glanced at Ala. schedule and if they get by Ole Miss which I am sure they will. The rest is a cupcake schedule. Yea and good luck against those powerhouse SEC East team you guys play.
If LSU has a loss going to tuscaloser, it'll be @ the hands of Georgia. LSU OWNS STATE. The UF game just lost all appeal this past weekend. We play Ole Miss better @ Vaught Hemingway. It's really up to this weekend. Now upsets can happen & they could fall victim to a trap game here or there against one of the teams previously mentioned, but I don't think so as of today.

Everything looks good so far. The players arrive today and begin practice tomorrow. I'll be down in Tuscaloosa some next week attending practice.
On offense they'll be getting used to a little bit of new terminology under Coach Nussmeier as McElwain moved on to take the head coaching job at Colorado St., but it's still Saban's offense.. and it's still Alabama. Pounding the rock with a stable of talented backs will still be what opponents are concerned with. This offensive line is probably one of the best we've had since Bear's teams of the 60's. Barrett Jones is one of the most intelligent and versatile offensive lineman we've ever had. He's already made All-American at 2 different positions (Right Guard and Left tackle) and will likely make it three at his 3rd different position this year as he takes over at center for William Vlachos. He's already graduated and currently working on his Masters Degree.
We lost a lot of experience at the receiver position with Darius Hanks and Marquis Maze moving on to the NFL, but didn't necessarily lose elite talent. The youngsters taking over are much more talented. Kevin Norwood dominated the Sugar Possum in the national championship game 1-on-1. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of the H-back position recently with Preston Dial, Brad Smelley, etc.... but this year whoever plays that position is going to be inexperienced.
Defensively there's going to be some growing pains in the secondary as inexperienced young players will be required to learn Saban's complex pattern-match schemes. At least one JUCO prospect will be starting at the CB position opposite Dee Milliner. Jesse Williams is bench pressing 600 pounds, running in the 4.75 range, and moving over from DE to play a little nose tackle. A lot of these kids haven't necessarily been "starters", but they've had plenty of experience in sub-packages.
The talent and depth all across the board is exceptional. Bama's backups would probably be ranked a top 25 team.
The starters and depth chart will look similar to this:
QB - A.J. McCarron / Phillip Ely / Blake Sims
RB - Eddie Lacy / T.J. Yeldon / Jalston Fowler / Dee Hart
H-back - Harrison Jones / Brent Calloway
TE - Michael Williams / Brian Vogler / Malcolm Faciane

Rainforest Seafood Festival set for Ash Wednesday
MONTEGO BAY, St James — THE inaugural staging of the Rainforest Seafood Festival will be held at the Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex in Montego Bay on Ash Wednesday.
Organisers of the one-day festival are hoping to raise $5 million from the event, which will go towards the We Care for Cornwall Regional Hospital Foundation.
We Care is a non-profit, philanthropic organisation dedicated to remedy the regional hospital's dire need for additional manpower, basic health care equipment and infrastructual upgrades.
So far, the organisation, which was established just over a year ago, has raised roughly US$140,000 under the initiative.
Speaking at the launch of the festival at the Sandals Montego Resort in Montego Bay on Tuesday, Minister of Health Dr Fenton Ferguson commended the organisers for the planned fund-raising event.
"I am very happy to see that the proceeds for the festival will go towards Cornwall Regional Hospital and that the festival itself will be an excellent one because of the sponsorship and the artistes that will be performing," he said.
He stressed the importance of a public/private sector partnership, which, he noted, will make a difference in the provision of quality health care.
Meanwhile, a number of vendors from the Hellshire, Middle Quarters and Port Royal areas of the island will be among those highlighted at the festival.
The event will also feature a very impressive entertainment package, including stilt walkers, dancers, face painting, ground rides, and an organised children's village.
Performances by Ken Boothe, Beenie Man, I-Octane, Romain Virgo, Tifa, Chronixx, and Prodigal Son, also form part of the rich entertainment package.
"The festival will be an epicurean delight and will highlight the best of Rainforest's diverse seafood offerings through well-known restaurants and chefs," organisers say.
Comedians Ity and Fancy Cat will host the event.

John Stossel at Townhall.comIn Los Angeles, they spent half a billion dollars to build the most expensive school in America. They planted palm trees, put in a swimming pool and spent thousands of new dollars per student.The school is beautiful, but how's the education? Not so good. The school graduates just 56 percent of its students.
Three schools in Oakland that Ben Chavis started aren't as fancy, but the students do better. They get top test scores. And Chavis doesn't just take the most promising or richest students, as teachers unions often claim competitive schools do. Chavis' schools take kids from the poorest neighborhoods.
So what does the education Blob decide to do? Shut his schools down.
School board members don't like Chavis. I understand why. He's obnoxious. Arrogant. He probably broke some rules. For example, he's accused of making a profit running his schools. Horrors! A profit!
If he did profit, I say, so what? He still got top test results with lessgovernment money. Good for him!They said if charter schools must exist, the union should run one, and they "would create a school where all parents would want to send their children." So New York City gave the United Federation of Teachers a charter school of its own. The union boss called it an "oasis."
But what happened? Today, the teachers union school is one of New York's worst. It got a "D" on its city report card. Only a third of its students read at grade level. And the school still lost a million dollars.
Yet it's the union's model school! I assume they tried their best, staffed it with some of their best teachers. The union knew we were watching. But with union rules, and the Blob's bureaucracy, they failed miserably.

The perfect Christening gift to mark that special occasion and remember it always.
A natural stone pebble engraved with a christening cross and the name of your choice on a grey pebble. For an additional £8 you can also have one word or the christening or birthdate engraved on the reverse. This design cannot be engraved on our white pebbles, but see our full range for other white stone designs - these pebbles are great gifts for all occasions.
The Christening name or date should be a maximum of 8 characters ("Characters" are letters, spaces and punctuation eg: CHRISTINA is 9 characters) All letters are engraved as capitals. Dates are converted to numbers eg: 15th August 2011 will be 15.08.11
A stylish white gift box is available, tied with ribbon.
Grey - length range between 8-12cm. See other listings for larger pebbles with more engraving.
Please note:
The pebbles are not man-made. They are natural stones smoothed flat on river beds and may contain imperfections e.g. chips, fissures and cracks, mottling, colour blemishes and fine grey thread lines. Stones will vary in size, shade, shape and texture; if you order two stones they will not match. We have taken a rough, organic product and left it in its natural state, engraving the type like a stamp in the stone. We hope you'll appreciate the uniqueness of these natural stones, and treasure them as a personalised keepsake.

Propagator - Electric Windowsill Propagator Super 7Customer Rating
The electric heated base of the Super 7 windowsill propagator will transfer gentle heat to the compost in the seed trays, creating a perfect environment for germination. Vents in the tops of the seed tray covers allow for ventilation. The propagator runs on a 13 watt element, costing pennies per day to run.
The Super 7 electric windowsill propagator is best positioned - as the name would suggest - on a windowsill which provides lots of light, but not direct sunshine. North or east facing windows are ideal. The Super 7 is not for use in an unheated greenhouse; it has been designed for use in a house where the average temperature will not fall below 10°C.
The heated base of this electric windowsill propagator will boost the ambient temperature of the compost in the seed trays by an average of 8°C. For optimum results, it's worth checking the ambient temperature - the ideal compost temperature for germination is between 18 and 22°C. It may be that on warmer, brighter days, the electric propagator only needs to be switched on at night.

Journal Journal: Moved blog
This is TC
This is TC
I can't believe that there isn't a "google" topic...
Anyway. I've added google adsense ads to my book review site. The basic idea is that google already know what my page is all about, so it will be able to intelligently target ads at my site.
I seems to work - to some degree. My front page has some okay links at the moment:
* Free Sci-Fi News
* SF&F First Editions
* Free Reading Group Guides
* Robert Sheckley's Books
If I browse through my author pages, the Sheckley ad may or may not be there, but most importantly it in my robert sheckley page.
The not that great thing is that it isn't on my Dimension of Miracles page (it's a novel by Sheckley). Infact this page has nothing but charity ads, which I do not make any money of. I'll hold off my final judgement on this for a couple of weeks, and see if it changes as google (hopefully) gets to know my pages better.
Oh, boy am I going to make a killing on this? I think so! The last three days has given about 500 ad views, three clickthrougs and 18 cents(*) for me!
(*) no it isn't even euro's, but us$, so it's even more worthless...
Okay. I wiped the mandrak createde partitions, with Partition magic, thinking that I would start from scratch.
I moved the old "media" partition about a bit and made a bit more free space for Mandrake to gob up.
Took Partition magic about four hours to do.
After which my machine couldn't find the boot thing on my main drive (which shouldn't have been touched at all!). Strangely enough it found some strange Novell thing (which didn't get far).
So I quickly did a reinstall of mandrake, which installed a new Lilo, which luckily, could see both the old windows and the new mandrake partitions. Both booted fine and both could see my "media" partition.
BTW: I tried to boot knoppix on my old siemens notebook (350mhz pentium) - didn't work. Seems to be somekind of "cardmanager" problem, but it didn't help to disable the pcmcia detection, so I'll have to work a bit more on that.
So I decide to give installing something a try.
After reading a bit on distrowatch.com I decide for a mandrake distro. The three CD set seems to have a fair amount of application and a fair level of newbiee friendlyness.
My machine has two harddrives, the primary (a 40gb) has to partitions (windows and applications) and the secondary (a 25gb) is used mainly as a cache between me and the internet. Downloaded stuff that can be downloaded again. All partitions run NTFS.
So I decide on the second harddrive and free a 3gb partition on it with partition maqic. So I should be ready.
Boot on the first cd.
Wait a bit.
So I get to a series of questions. I like my OS to speak english, so I select that. Which means that I cant select a danish keyboard, until much later.
Anyway. Wide selections of applications to select from. I select as widely as possible, making sure that there's a mysql and an apache. No option for php, but I'm hoping that comes with the apache.
Remenber to use the "select individual packages" option on the buttom of the screen, which lets you select what to install.
Selecting the right partion:
Well. It didn't excatly have to be easy, but does it have to be this hard? Couldn't some descriptive names be used to select between these partitions? Anyway, I survived.
My ATI All-in-wonder Radeon video card wasn't regonized, so I selected standard video.
The installation process went fine. Setting up Lilo (the bookmanager) was easy.
select stuff about desktop, that I know nothing about ("please choose one of these desktops - no we will not tell you the difference between them2). I selected KDE. Seems to be the thing these days.
Hey it works. It seems fast. Mozilla works like a dream. It's definitly faster than on windows.
No sound, though. I've an onboard sound system on my crappy ecs K7S5A. Easily found a place in the config program where I could select another driver, which worked. Can't change the volume though. Will work on that later.
So things seem to work. I can browse the 'net (adsl connection configured it self, with out problems).
I can browse my NTFS partitions (read only) and play mp3 and divx files.
So I reboot to check that my windows is still working. It does.
Except that the NTFS partition on the secondary drive is dead. Windows keep on telling me that it's unformattede and if I would like to format it? Hell NO! I fool around with chkdsk and stuff for a bit, ending up with Partition magic, which sees the errors on the partition and fixes them.
Rebooting windows brings my partition back. Weew!
Rebooting back to Linux gives me... an error during boot. Something about the super-block in hdb7 (the NTFS partition on secondary drive). It thinks that the partion is something it calls "ext2". Do I want to fix it? No! Reboot and try again.
Same shit. Okay, this time I'm brave and answer yes to the "fix-it?" question. Automatic fixing procedure fails.
Reboot linux. Still no go.
Reboot Windows. Partition still good.
I guess that I'm going to have a problem as long as linux thinks that that the partition is ext2 and not ntfs. It annoys me, no end that it, can't just boot and leave the stupid partition alone. It really is a rather unimportant partition.
As a last thing before I go to bed, I boot on a Knoppix 3.2 CD just to see what happens. Everything is fine and I can see all partitions, both the ntfs ones and the ones created during the Linux install.
So if I could only find the boot script or whatever it's called, maybe I could remove or fix the mounting of hdb7.... but I got no clue.
So that was interesting.
I'll probably give the mandrage distro another hour or so and then wipe it, unless I get it to work.
So what Distro should I try next? I'm kind of thinking Debian or Gentoo...
I'm working towards doing my main home workstation totally microsoft free.
The first step was chancing to OpenOffice, which I really enjoy. But I'm still running W2K.
What I need:
- A good email program. I'm currently using The Bat! and PopFile for spam filter.
- Mozilla
- Graphics program. Currently using PhotoShop and PaintShopPro.
- php Development enviroment. Currently using HomeSite.
- Borland Delphi
- Video/TV capture software. I've a All-in-wonder Radeon card.
- A p2p program that works. Currently using eMule.
- An IM. Currently using Trillian.
So I did my first testing today. I downloaded and bootet on a Knoppix 3.2 CD. That worked supprisingly well. Lot's of software on that CD with lots of options. Definitly a CD that's going to say in my toolbox cd box (that I always carry with me).
There was a few problems. Mainly no sound and when I tried to play a divx it failed after a couple of seconds (with out warning or error message the window disappeared).
As to my software need list:
- Email: There should be lots of options. I don't really need all the (extreme) number options in the bat, now I can use popFile to do most of the filtering.
- Graphics: This is going to hurt. I've tried The Gimp for windows and frankly it sucks big time.
- php Dev. There should be good things out there. I just havn't tried them. Most important is good editiong, syntax highlight and projekt management.
- Delphi. Yrh. I develop (at work) for windows and sometimes I need to work at home. Can't really see a solution in this. Kylix isn't a solution as rewriting all the old applications to clx is impossible.
- All-in-wonder support: I got no idea if this is possible.
- eMule: I think that this exists.
- IM: This must exsist.
More later...
I kind of pooped today, when I wrote a reply on the Star Wars online game thing.
Complaing about a game bring only for North America and writing "Europa" in the subject of the note, is kind of stupid, when you think about.
Sorry, rest of the world.
Okay, my first journal entry.
I'll probably only be using this journal for complaing about moderations on my
1 1 was a race-horse, 2 2 was 1 2. When 1 1 1 1 race, 2 2 1 1 2.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
Halloween is approaching, so it's getting scary, creepy and cute.
Dot McCord of Pontotoc catches the spirit of the holiday each year, and her yard reflects it.
Her collection of inflatable decorations includes precious black cats, orange pumpkins and white ghosts, as well as death, itself, pulling a hearse, and a skeleton conducting a train bound for the depths of you-know-where.
"We didn't get many trick-or-treaters out here until we started putting out our Halloween decorations," McCord said. "Last year, I forget how many bags of candy we had, but it was a lot. We didn't have any left."
McCord's fascination for the spooky season is geared toward children. That includes her own great-grandchildren and all the others attracted to her home.
"I've always liked Halloween," the 74-year-old said, "but the biggest thing since I've gotten older is I enjoy the children. They're so happy. It means a lot to them."
She has about 20 different inflatables, and buys new ones on sale after Halloween to be ready for the next year.
"We start putting it all up on Oct. 1 and take them down on Nov. 1," McCord said.
That's when she converts to Thanksgiving, which is really a place-holder for Christmas, when McCord and her husband James empty a pair of storage buildings.
"Of course, Christmas is my time," she said. "I love Christmas, but this is fun, too."
Ghosts and ghouls
You won't find any inflatable decorations at Nichola Wright's house in Tupelo, but it's still a spooky sight.
"One year, we didn't do it and got swamped," she said. "People were like, 'What happened?'"
Ghouls, ghosts and witches hang from the trees, while large and small skeletons have run of the yard. There's a pirate skeleton chained to a tree, and another climbing out of the ground. The display has become a tradition for her husband, Mike, and their 12-year-old son, Andrew.
"They have to place everything just right," she said. "It's very particular where each piece goes."
On Halloween, speakers will blast out scary sounds, and strobe lights will play with the senses. There's a chance someone will be hidden behind a tree, so look out or you'll get a fright.
"We mix it up every year," Wright said, "so the kids don't know what to expect."
On the inside
Brandy and Lance Evans' New Albany home has a little graveyard in the flower bed. Cobwebs on the front porch frame a black cat with a pumpkin. But the real show is inside the house.
Black lace, cobwebs, spiders, pumpkins, witches and assorted bones are artfully arranged. It's Goth meets Martha Stewart.
"This is just for pure fun," Brandy Evans said. "I didn't do as much before the kids."
Evans keeps an eye out for unusual pieces, and friends call her when they spot something unique. She goes for creepy, but not gory and bloody.
"I don't want to scare them," Evans said.
Her children, Katie, 8, and Landon, 3, start asking about decorating time as Halloween gets closer.
"I get a lot of ideas from magazines," Evans said.
Adults have fun with the Halloween ambiance, too.
"We dress up and have a costume Bunco," said Evans, who creates Halloween-themed food for the event.
A little gore
Patrick Ross and Jimmy Blaylock, both of Tupelo, steer clear of cute when decorating their homes.
Ross lives across the street from Joyner Elementary School, so students can see spider webs, snakes and bats, as well as Freddy Krueger, Al Capone and Baby Jane.
It's an eerie view, even during the day. He's buried lights underground to brighten and frighten the night.
"Before I put it out, I didn't get very many trick-or-treaters," he said. "Now, I get a lot. Some of the people say, 'Thank you,' for putting it up."
Blaylock looks to TV for inspiration at his east Tupelo home.
"We love 'The Walking Dead' on AMC," he said. "It's the best show on television."
Throughout October, decaying zombies take over his yard, among other things.
"We have a spider web and I kept thinking it was missing something," "Blaylock said, "so we went out and bought two big spiders. Much better."
Blaylock and the rest were quick to say their decorations were for the kids, and maybe they were telling the truth.
But not the whole truth.
"I admit," Blaylock said with a chuckle, "it's a lot of fun."

Wow nobody posted about the end of the show? I thought it was a pretty good sendoff. I could've done without the Ryan/Kelly stuff but at least they kept it short. Michael was a nice touch. All in all it was a good way to go out imho.

"These Things Are Fun and Fun Is Good": Dr. Seuss Stamps Celebrate World Oceans Day
Posted On June 7, 2013 by Allison Schutes
Last week, I had the incredible honor of participating in the NAPEX First Day of Issue Ceremony for the United Nations Postal Administration's stamp commemorating World Oceans Day 2013.
The U.N. partnered with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to develop the stamps, which showcase the timeless characters of Dr. Seuss' book, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." Celebrating our connection with the ocean, the stamps remind us of how important it is to protect it.
The stamps—issued in three different currencies: U.S. dollars, Swiss francs and euros—are a further representation of the central role the ocean plays in our lives, regardless of what city, state or country we call home. "From near to far, from here to there," as the stamps say, our ocean is everywhere.


text: For someone so rich, Beyoncé sure was a cheapskate when she bought her fake pregnancy belly. The thing deflated when she did something so simple as sit down for an interview! (Also, in .gif form.) Whether Bey was faking it until her surrogate popped out a baby or what, she really should've gone the movie route and invested in a reliable fake belly. Consider the faux-baby bumps in our gallery—these have survived the slapstick of rom-coms and fight sequences in epic fantasy films. They could've made it through an eleven-minute interview.

This is fantastic. Now, they didn't just set these kids loose on the streets of Brooklyn. Prior to this event the school ran programs instructing them on how to safely cycle in traffic.
And Matthew Modine was there!
On Monday, May 31, 2010 it's Bike to Work and the Toronto Group Commute to kick off Bike Month. Take some inspiration from these kids and leave the car at home.

From the 'roof of the Swabian Alb' down into the 'grand canyon' of the Upper Danube Gorge, the Danube Peaks Trail offers spectacular vistas as it makes its way down into the valley.
The Danube Peaks Trail starts off on a high. From the observation tower on Mount Lemberg, at 1,015m the highest elevation in the Baden-Württemberg section of the Swabian Alb, you can see the Alps and the Vosges mountains on a clear day. The path down into the Danube Gorge offers very diverse scenery. Walking along the north-westerly edge of the Swabian Alb you can watch the gliders on the Klippeneck, Germany's highest gliding field. Be sure to allow some time to look around the medieval upper town of Mühlheim an der Donau. Along the trail you'll pass Kolbingen cave, regarded as the most impressive dripstone cave on the south-western Alb, as well as the Knopfmacherfelsen (button maker's cliff) and the dramatic Stiegelesfelsen rock formation.
The trail ends on a high note with the sudden appearance of mighty Beuron Abbey – the Upper Danube valley's cultural and spiritual centre.
Tip: Danube Gorge, Mühlheim to Beuron
The Danube valley narrows at Mühlheim, the river having carved its way from the Black Forest mountains through the hard limestone of the Swabian Alb. This has resulted in a canyon-like valley with precipitous cliff faces up to 150 metres high.

I think we all lost and gained from the CW. We all lost some freedom the framers intended, but we gained in prosperity with interstate trade, which would have been much more difficult without a powerful central government.
"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have...." Thomas Jefferson
Slavery is alive and well in Africa. Black slaves are common in many of the countries in Africa and they are owned by black people.
GO figure
states are sovereign. there would be no government without them. So to say they can't leave that which they created is kind of absurd. It wasn't the constitution that said anything about states leaving it was the declaration of independence. Also look at Jeffersons inaugural address. He stated "If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union, or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left to combat it." and again later in a speach he said "If any state in the Union will declare that it prefers separation ... to a continuance in the union .... I have no hesitation in saying, 'Let us separate." I guess I'm not to sure how the states didn't have a right to secede, they created the body known as the federal government and if the people of that state don't want to be a part of it any longer then how can the thing that it created tell you no. Do any of you let your children tell you what you can and can't do? It would be like you living in there house and laying down ground rules and then getting mad at you when you did something they didn't like but wasn't part of the rules...so you leave and they tell you no you have to stay.
Anyone that believes that the Civil War was about slavery simply chooses to ignore the historical facts. :rolleyes:

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.

Across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 23 percent of the land is used for agriculture and almost 12 percent has been developed. Most of the remaining land is forested. When the watershed is broken down by its major river watersheds (view map here), it is interesting that some areas, like the Choptank River watershed, are much more agricultural (48 percent), and others, like the Patuxent River watershed, are much more developed (32 percent). This is why a one-size-fits-all approach to reducing pollution across the region will not work.
As the population in the watershed increases, we are choosing to move away from city centers and live in bigger houses on larger lots. Sprawling, low-density residential and commercial areas result in additional infrastructure like roads and shopping centers that chew up forests, shorelines, and agricultural lands. And often, open areas between existing centers and sprawl eventually fill with more new development. This type of development increases stormwater pollution and degrades the health of our water.
The largest source of pollution to the Bay comes from agricultural runoff, which contributes roughly 40 percent of the nitrogen entering the Chesapeake Bay. Despite pollution-reduction efforts across sources, stormwater runnoff is the only major catagory of nitrogen pollution that is still growing (pollution from septic systems, a smaller source, is also growing). Because of population growth and related development, hardened surfaces—roads, driveways, parking lots—increased by approximately 34 percent between 1990 and 2007, while the Bay watershed population increased by only 18 percent.

John Wayne Parr is Making a Comeback
- Written by Rian Scalia
Last year, Australia's Muay Thai legend John Wayne Parr retired after fighting on his own first Caged Muay Thai event, knocking out Jordan Tai in the fourth round. It wasn't the first time that Parr had retired so naturally we wondered if he would come back again, and that's exactly what is happening.
Today it was announced by Joe Nader, promoter of Powerplay Promotions that John Wayne Parr is coming out of retirement this year, starting with a fight on April 19 for Powerplay Promotions in Australia. Parr signed a three fight deal with Powerplay Promotions, where he fought trilogy matches with Yodsanklai Fairtex and Mike Zambidis.
After that fight in April, Parr might possibly fight on another one of his successful Caged Muay Thai shows. Either way, it's great to have him back.

The feel-good Australian musical The Sapphires -- about a group of backcountry girls in the 1960s who decide to put together a pop group -- finally hits North Texas on Friday after wowing audiences at Cannes and at home, where it became one of that country's highest grossing films last year.
What's more intriguing than the movie's box-office receipts, though, is that it offers American viewers a glimpse into a culture they don't see much of: Aboriginal Australia.
With all the successive waves of Australian films, bands and actors that have landed on American shores in the past 30 years -- from The Road Warrior to Russell Crowe, AC/DC to Gotye -- indigenous Australia has been mostly invisible.
Part of that is due to sheer numbers. Aboriginal people make up less than 3 percent of the Australian population of around 23 million.
The other aspect is that, until relatively recently, Aboriginal culture was ignored or derided. Until 1967, Aborigines were officially considered part of the "flora and fauna" by the Australian government.
But that started to change in the '70s and has picked up steam more recently. In 1971, British director Nicolas Roeg made the pioneering Walkabout, the first time many filmgoers outside Australia were exposed to Aboriginal culture. Today, Aboriginal directors like Wayne Blair ( The Sapphires) and Ivan Sen (the glorious arthouse road film Beneath the Clouds) are telling their own stories.
If there's a through line in much of the film work by and about Aborigines, it is the overwhelming presence of a haunting, roughhewn Outback landscape coupled with the urge to return home.
With that in mind, if you find your interest in Aboriginal culture piqued by The Sapphires, here are nine films and one TV series worth checking out. All are available on DVD or through streaming services.
Walkabout (1971) -- Roeg's masterwork meditation on the schism between civilization and nature pairs two white children, lost in the Outback after their dad abandons them, with an Aboriginal boy who navigates them through his country's barren beauty. The boy was played by David Gulpilil, who became the first Aboriginal movie star and later appeared in Crocodile Dundee.
The Last Wave (1977) -- The first film from Peter Weir ( Dead Poets Society, Witness) to capture the world's attention is a haunting, understated tale of the coming apocalypse which, according to Aboriginal legend, will be by water. Richard Chamberlain plays a lawyer who, while defending a young Aboriginal man (Gulpilil) on murder charges, becomes obsessed with Aboriginal mysticism and the concept of Dreamtime.
The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) -- Based on a novel by Thomas Keneally (who also wrote the book that is the basis for Schindler's List) and directed by Fred Schepisi ( Six Degrees of Separation), Blacksmith is based on a 19th-century incident in which a young Aboriginal man went on a murder spree after years of abuse.
Beneath Clouds (2002) -- Like Walkabout, Beneath Clouds takes young people on a trip through Australia's "dead heart," but these kids are less innocent. Mixed-race Lena (Dannielle Hall) is heading to Sydney to find the white father she never knew, and Vaughn (the late Damian Pitt) is an Aboriginal boy who has escaped from juvenile detention. Together, their initial mistrust flowers into something resembling friendship. As director Sen's first feature, the beautifully shot Beneath Clouds is breathtakingly impressive.
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) -- Director Phillip Noyce is known for his big thrillers ( Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger), but he returned to his native Australia for this intensely moving story about "the stolen generations." This refers to the Aboriginal children who, between 1909 and 1969, were spirited from their families to be raised by white parents as domestics and absorbed into white society, theoretically for their own good. Amateur anthropologist Daisy Bates in 1938 came up with the phrase that summed up the attitude of the time: "to smooth the pillow of a dying race." But Rabbit-Proof Fence, a true story about three girls who refused to be maids and decide to go home, shows that resistance was very much alive.
Jindabyne (2006) -- The body of an Aboriginal girl found in a small-town river becomes a point of contention after a group of white fishermen decide to delay in reporting it. Laura Linney and Gabriel Byrne star in this compelling, well-acted drama.
Ten Canoes (2006) -- The first movie to be filmed entirely in an Aboriginal language, the slow, poetic and entrancing Ten Canoes -- about a group of tribal men hunting goose eggs -- was reportedly inspired by a 1936 photo of a group of Aboriginal hunters. It's narrated by David Gulpilil and stars his son, Jamie.
Samson and Delilah (2009) -- The title characters in this haunting, often wordless drama are a 14-year-old boy and girl who are outcasts from their Aboriginal community but not accepted anywhere else. The film, made by Aboriginal director Warwick Thornton, won the Camera d'Or for best feature film at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
Bran Nue Dae (2009) -- Not a great film by any stretch, but an infectious one. Based on a hit play, this musical about a boy (Rocky McKenzie) running away from his Catholic school in the city to get back to his Outback home has a winning sensibility. Sapphires co-star Jessica Mauboy, Geoffrey Rush and singer Missy Higgins are also in the cast.
The Straits (2012) -- This 10-episode TV series, about a family of drug suppliers in Far North Queensland and Papua New Guinea, has its soapish moments. It's The Sopranos at the beach. But kingpin dad (played wonderfully by Scottish actor Brian Cox), his Polynesian wife (Rena Owen, Once Were Warriors) and their four adopted indigenous adult children make for an enjoyably dysfunctional clan as they fight off rival gangs. The lush, tropical scenery is an added bonus to all the scheming and backstabbing. Available for streaming through Hulu.com.

Hey Hasbro,
How 'bout doing all of us just as devoted Star Wars fans a favor and making Jorg Sacul a Fan Club figure?
That's a pretty cheap shot that you would make this kind of figure an exclusive to the Celebration 2 crowd only and not the rest of the SW community. It doesn't matter if you change the packaging so the C2 attendees can feel like they got something special, but for all the rest of us that couldn't attend, we'd like this one too - without having to give up our first born or take out a 2nd mortage for one on eBay.

Combine the fabulous flavors of steak, peppers and cheese in hoagie buns for hot and delicious sandwiches ready in just 25 minutes!
Why it Works: Say Cheese!
Everyone loves the taste of melted cheese, but making a cheese sauce can be time-consuming. And if overheated, cheese can separate. Processed cheese, made up of a combination of different types of natural cheese (usually an aged cheese for flavor and a young cheese for texture), was invented to make melting cheese foolproof. Processed cheese manufacturers can change the color, flavor and texture of their product by starting with different cheeses. These cheeses are melted and then mixed with emulsifying salts—chemicals that stop the cheese from separating. The result? Melted cheese with no fuss.

By The Associated Press
Derrick Bean filed his income taxes at an H&R Block office in Los Angeles this month, and the 26-year-old left with something unexpected: a price quote on federally subsidized health insurance.
Using the information from his 2012 return, a tax advisor told the actor and waiter that he would qualify for significant government help and pay only about $65 a month in premiums under the federal health care law. If he skips coverage, H&R Block warned him, he faces a $95 tax penalty next year and $356 the following year.
"I was surprised to hear all that," Bean said. "It's good to finally see some concrete evidence that this is happening."
As tax season kicks into high gear across the country, millions of Americans are getting their first taste of the biggest change to health insurance in nearly half a century. Many of the changes in President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act take effect in January, when most Americans will be required to buy coverage or incur a penalty.
The individual effects and consequences of the nation's health care overhaul in 2014 are far from certain, but insurance companies, tax consultants and other financial planners are starting to offer cost estimates for next year and describe the penalties for inaction.
For many consumers, their 2012 tax returns will offer some of the first clues on what financial aid may be available and what coverage may cost.
"Your 2012 tax return is key to determining if you're eligible for any financial assistance on health insurance," said Meg Sutton, senior advisor for tax and health care services at H&R Block. "This law represents sweeping changes for how the middle class will get insurance."
The Internal Revenue Service and state insurance exchanges will rely primarily on 2012 federal tax returns, officials say, to verify people's income and household size and to help determine what premium subsidies are available. By October, state exchanges are slated to open for enrollment and allow comparison-shopping of health plans.
At an H&R Block Inc. office in Los Angeles, Cindy Salcedo Bravo, 35, flipped through a stack of drugstore receipts on a recent Friday morning as her 8-month-old son, Fernando, bounced on her knee.
She rattled off dollar amounts to her tax advisor, who tallied them for a potential deduction on medical expenses. Then they sorted through W-2 forms, investment statements and other paperwork.
As they wrapped up, tax advisor Blanca Chavez began the company's free health insurance review by asking the Los Angeles mother whether her family of six had health coverage.
Bravo responded that they have insurance through her husband's engineering job. Chavez reminded Bravo that her family could face a steep penalty if they lost employer-based insurance and didn't find new coverage.
"On my tax return? Regardless of my age?" asked Bravo, her reddish-black hair pulled back in a ponytail. "I didn't have any idea about that. I need to talk to my parents, because they don't have health insurance."
Nationwide, H&R Block officials are urging customers such as Bravo who have existing health coverage to examine the estimated cost of subsidized insurance through the new exchange since they may be paying more for their employer plan.
"A lot of people think, 'I have insurance with my job and I don't need to worry,' " said Frank Gomez, an H&R Block manager in Beverly Hills, Calif. "We're telling them to make sure you're aware of your options."
For customers who want more health care details, H&R Block refers them to insurers affiliated with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an industry group that represents Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans. That partnership stands to give those insurers valuable leads on potential customers. About 15 million Americans visited an H&R Block office last year, and it typically handles nearly 1 in 7 U.S. tax returns, according to the company.
Bean, the actor and waiter, is among the "young invincibles" that health insurers are eager to reach. Those young, healthy consumers can help offset the risk of too many older, sicker individuals enrolling early on and potentially driving up premiums in the exchange.
Bean said he earns less than $20,000 annually and welcomes any subsidy to make coverage more affordable. He said he has health coverage for another year on his parents' policy and saw firsthand the value of insurance when he broke his leg last summer.
"The medical bills started coming in," he said, "and they were pretty hefty."

Sincere apologies for my absence last week. I had a massive kidney stone — probably some kind of divine come-uppance for all those times I made fun of Christian rock. I invite those of you who hate me to take a moment to delight in my pain. And now, the news:
If you're thinking of dumping your girlfriend, now's a perfect time: TORI AMOS is preparing a stage musical, a graphic novel, and a "project of new music and visuals." Retreat now, boyfriends! Amos saturation approaching critical early-'90s levels!
As I write this, idealess pop-metal trogs DISTURBED have the #1 album in the country for the third time in their careers. I can't quite figure it out; usually, when something stupid tops the charts, you can use the ol' "idiots will buy anything" explanation. But seriously — they'll buy that? By the time you read this, however, the #1 slot should be safely held down by LIL WAYNE.
BOY GEORGE is set to headline the New York City sanitation department's "Family Day" gathering. Yes, there's a somewhat reasonable explanation for this, but I feel it'll be more fun if I let you draw your own conclusions.
If you've been disillusioned by all the recent arrests of major rappers, here's something to cheer you up: has-been arrests! Erstwhile regulator WARREN G narrowly ducked a drug charge, and COOLIO was hauled in for an outstanding traffic misdemeanor and released on $10,000 bail. I guess the biggest news here is that Coolio had 10 grand.
And, in the exact opposite of the usual legal news about rappers: New York governor DAVID PATERSON has issued a full pardon to SLICK RICK, wiping out the weapons charges that kept the rapper jailed for six years in the '90s.
Sure, having total recall for shitty music sounds like fun, but what's the last time you had ROB ZOMBIE's "Dragula" stuck in your head for six days straight? Kill me.
50 CENT has been embroiled in a heated legal argument with an ex-girlfriend over the ownership of a $2.4 million house on Long Island. Not long after his attempts to evict the ex were unsuccessful, the house mysteriously and not-at-all-suspiciously burnt down. Sometimes life just throws wacky coincidences at us out of nowhere, right 50?
In an apparent response to NAS's "Be a Nigger" single ("To all my kike niggers, spic niggers, guinea niggers, chink niggers/that's right, y'all my niggers too."), AMY WINEHOUSE has released a controversial new video in which she makes an equally electrifying lyrical statement: "Blacks, pakis, gooks and nips, gooks and nips." (Sung to the tune of "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes.") Many news sources interpreted the video as senseless, drunken, racist dalliance and not as a bold statement on today's racially charged climate. The nay-sayers also overlooked one important mitigating detail: Winehouse did the eye-stretching "Chinee" face during the song, a gesture that's long been a hallmark of sophisticated racial discourse.
Hey, YOU! Stop delighting in my pain! That's long enough!
OZZY OSBOURNE has won his libel suit against England's Daily Star tabloid, which reported that he was in ill health at this year's Brit Awards. The paper stated that the singer collapsed before the show and had to be scooted around on an electric cart. Had he not litigated, these allegations might have damaged Ozzy's sterling reputation as a virile, able-bodied, non-doddering rock-and-roll hunk.

Ladies and gentlemen, your grammar lesson for the day:
She remained stationary as a matter of principle. She gave stationery as a gift to her principal.
Homophones can be tricky. But while one should always strive to use the proper form for all words sounding the same yet meaning different things, the one nearest and dearest to our heart is stationery versus stationary.
Stationary, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means "standing still" or "not moving."
Stationery, according to the same source, means "writing paper" and "writing materials, as in notepads, pens, pencils, paper and envelopes."
One shouldn't feel too bad about confusing these two common words. In fact, they were once the same word and shared the same spelling. In the 1700s, "stationery wares" were sold by "stationers," i.e. booksellers who did not travel all about, but stayed in one place to sell their wares. They were frequently booksellers who also sold writing wares. Somehow, the spellings diverged into stationery (meaning writing ware) and stationary (meaning fixed and unable to move).
A common school house trick for remembering the proper spelling is to remember that station-ery means pap-er.

Late-arriving Spring means late tee times
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Many fairways and greens remain empty throughout the Coulee Region, causing headaches to golfers and golf courses alike.
"We don't necessarily dictate what happens, we can't control it, so that may be the most difficult thing," Forest Hills General Manager Keith Stoll said.
"It is what it is, as far as a start to any year," said Cedar Creek General Manager Dave Cornelius. "Last year was the anomaly, starting really early. This year, it's going to be a little late."
And with more rain in the forecast, "a little late" might be putting it lightly.19853122
"Obviously, everyone wants to get outside after a long winter, and so do I, but it will come soon enough," Cornelius said.
"It's kind of coming at its own pace, unfortunately. That's a little slower than last year," Stoll said.
There is one bright spot: the late start could mean better course conditions throughout the year.
"An early start has more of a result on the golf course because you play on it when it's not growing. Anytime this time of year, you're doing damage to it," said Cornelius.
"We've had some valued moisture this Spring that we've taken advantage of," said Cedar Creek Superintendent Darren Armstrong. "I think it will be a good year once we get it going."
"The benefit is that the golf courses are going to be in good shape," added Stoll.
So what will it take to finally get the courses opened up?
"We probably need four to five days of no rain, warmer temperatures and maybe some wind to dry things out," Stoll said.
"Obviously, we'd like to get some warm nights going so we can get some grass growing," said Armstrong.
So for a little while longer, the anticipation will build for that first perfect drive.
"I guess a little patience works for all of us, so it'll be soon enough and hopefully everybody will go gun-ho after that," Cornelius said.
