At first glance, the anonymous silver/ grey supermini we've come to view at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire looks generically modern – the pert little car looks "right", and it's difficult to believe that it was created in the middle of a maelstrom; a potential bestseller that was killed before it ever saw the light of day.
They say there's nothing like a little bit of pressure to put things into sharp perspective, and in the early Eighties, BL had the weight of the nation's expectations on it. Finally, it needed to deliver its long promised recovery after years in the post-Allegro Red-Robbo dominated doldrums.
The initial signs hadn't been good for the "product-related recovery", though – the Metro had a reputation for unreliability, and the Maestro/Montego twins were unloved by all. What Austin-Rover needed was something to sex up its range. That car was coming, though there was just the small matter of £400m of taxpayers' money to get it up and running.
From the end of 1982, Austin-Rover designers at the new Roy Axe design studios in Canley, near Coventry, had been beavering away on the styling of a Metro replacement, codenamed AR6.
The plan was to use the K-Series engine, which was under development, sitting on conventionally sprung suspension, and to feature a massive, airy interior. As a British answer to the Fiat Uno and Peugeot 205, the AR6 certainly ticked all the right boxes – on paper at least.
However, the AR6 programme coincided with a radical upheaval in BL's fortunes. In the early Eighties, the company was still miles off making any kind of serious profit, and as Margaret Thatcher's government remained the majority shareholder, it was Westminster that was calling the shots as far as funding was concerned.
A titanic struggle between the then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Norman Tebbitt, and BL's chairman, Ray Horrocks, erupted over financing future model plans. Around £250m was released to develop the K-Series engine, but a further injection of funds to get the AR6 into production would have to wait for an upturn in the company's fortunes.
In the end, that never came, and neither did the money. The government's will to continue funding BL evaporated, and plans to sell the troubled company were quickly cobbled together. AR6 was put on life support – and cash-strapped product planners responded by retaining the Metro, and extending links with Honda for all of its upcoming models.
Ford made a bid for Austin-Rover at the beginning of 1986, but Thatcher vetoed the sale to the Americans at the last moment, still smarting from the after-effects of the Westland crisis. That left no alternative but to slash all spending and prepare the company either for flotation or to be sold to a UK bidder.
That, tragically, sealed the fate of the AR6 once and for all – and despite cheerily optimistic internal product planning documents that spoke of a 1988 launch date, describing it as an aluminium-bodied 100mpg supermini to beat all comers, the bitter truth was that the project was nowhere near advanced enough to carry through to production.
The tantalisingly fuzzy scoop images of the AR6 published in the press in 1986 were, in fact, taken on the eve of its death. And, after that, the car disappeared completely from view – the assumption being that it had been destroyed in the turmoil of the Rover (*ée BL) sale to British Aerospace in 1988.
However, it was donated to the British Motor Heritage Trust, and remained buried, unseen by outsiders, until a recent re-shuffle of the museum's exhibits.
Roy Axe, the design director who oversaw the styling of the AR6, was shocked to discover that it still existed. "It's amazing to see it again," he says. "That car started life in our design studio as a simple mock-up of how one of our superminis could look in the future, given some decent funding. Once it had done its thing of impressing visitors to the studios, we passed it to BL Technology, who then turned it into a mobile test bed."
Sitting in the weather-worn prototype today, it's clear that the AR6 did meet its design and marketing-led brief: it's incredibly airy inside, and has room and a driving position that the Metro could only dream of.
The Metro was Austin-Rover's biggest selling car by a long way, and the dealers were clamouring for a more capable replacement with which to tempt buyers back into their showrooms. Salesman Tim Wellington recalls: "The Metro appealed to all of our customers, and when we received the sneak-preview of the AR6, our hearts leapt for joy; here was a car that would sell itself to our buying public, building on the strengths of the car it replaced and taking the concept to a new level."
When the political storm of the mid-Eighties robbed us of that car, however, the company's chances of long-term future survival were almost fatally damaged.

Scientists predict an eruption and collapse of the Cumbre Vieja volcano. A single tsunami created by such event could threaten the sustainability of the city of Miami, Florida. Given the endless events that have proven nature''s ability to damage urban centers, there is no alternative but to design effective evacuation plans against these threats. In the past, U.S. cities such as New Orleans were not adequately prepared for natural disasters. The fact that New Orleans'' levees required immediate maintenance was well-known, yet U.S. government officials opted to withhold the necessary funds. Following Hurricane Katrina, planners were assigned the task of rebuilding a city that by then seemed foreign to them. A potential tsunami lasting a short period of time could be deadlier than the relatively longer-lived Hurricane Katrina.

Dear Parents and Students
Welcome to Monmouth Comprehensive School
In our school we encourage everyone to have the highest expectations of themselves and each other as together we Learn to Lead our Lives.
We are proud of our students' academic achievements. Just as importantly, we are a school that cares. We believe that students need to feel comfortable and secure in order to learn and, as a school, we put as much emphasis on creating a supportive and happy environment as we do on academic success. We achieve both.
I look forward to working with you to ensure the very best learning and life for the young people in our care.

Faculty Leader: Miss A Pearson
Welsh as a Second language is taught to all students in Years 7 to 11 and AS and A2 Levels are also offered to Sixth Form students. 20% of the population of Wales speak Welsh fluently and this figure is rising. Amongst 3 to 15 year olds, the figure is 40%.
Research shows that understanding more than one language allows us to think more flexibly and creatively. Learning Welsh opens the door to experiencing a different culture of music, literature, TV and radio. A qualification in Welsh is now widely sought for careers including the Welsh Government and Local Government, the media and teaching.
At MCS, students are given many opportunities to use their Welsh outside lessons. The weekly Clwb Cymraeg (Welsh Club) holds a variety of activities. There are also regular visits to the Urdd Centres in Llangrannog and in Cardiff Bay and trips are arranged to the Millennium Stadium to watch Wales playing football and rugby.
Students start Year 7 with a wide range in their experience of Welsh. Some will have had regular lessons at primary school, whilst others are just starting out! For those students transferring from primary school in England, the Faculty offers offers a 'Croeso i Gymru' (Welcome to Wales) day of introduction to the Welsh Language and all things Welsh in July!
In learning Welsh in Years 7, 8 and 9 our emphasis is on enjoying learning and using everyday spoken Welsh. Students learn through a wide variety of games, role plays, conversations and use of the internet. Topics covered include School, Time, Holidays, Family, Sport and Entertainment. The four subject specific skills areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing are all developed but the greatest emphasis is placed on speaking as well as the skills that are to be developed as part of the Year 7 Integrated Curriculum.
The annual school Eisteddfod is an exciting highlight in the school calendar. Each year students compete in their tutor group in an array of competitions to win the Year Cup. The climax of the day is the awarding of the Eisteddfod Chair which is given to the student who is judged to have written the winning Welsh poem.
At Key Stage 4 students choose either the Full Course GCSE or the Short Course GCSE. Both lead to a GCSE qualification grades A* to G but the Full Course covers twice as much content. 25% of the overall GCSE mark for Full Course and 50% for Short Course is allocated to Controlled Tasks which consists of spoken and written tasks.
Welsh as a Second Language is also offered to AS and A2 Levels. Students are able to study the Welsh language plus a variety of topics including welsh literature, poetry, films, dramas and short stories.

I can now officially say "THFPPLLL" to those who maintain that self-published authors are losers who can't get accepted by publishers. Circlet Press has accepted my story "Fears Moon Woman" for their upcoming shapeshifter erotica anthology "Like a Moonrise."
The story features Rabbit Runnels, the hapless, gentle deputy from Scryer's Gulch, but stands alone. The Gulch will remain PG-13, but it was fun to get poor ol' Rabbit laid.
I haven't seen the contract yet, so I don't know when exactly I can put it up here. When I do it'll be in the Patron section.

"I love this hot or cold, by itself or as part of a larger meal," says Sera Pelle of this cauliflower dish that's a vibrant yellow from turmeric and fragrant with cumin, cilantro and mint.
- 1 cup safflower or sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- Sea salt
- 4 heads cauliflower, halved, cored and cut into 1-inch florets
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 425°. In a small bowl, combine the oil, cumin, turmeric, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
On 2 large rimmed baking sheets, drizzle the cauliflower with the spiced oil and toss well to coat; season with salt. Spread the cauliflower in an even layer and bake for about 1 hour, until browned and tender; switch the baking sheets halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, in a pie plate, bake the pine nuts for about 1 minute, until toasted. Let cool.
Transfer the cauliflower to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, cilantro and mint and serve.

In the previous year England had suffered their first ever home defeat when the Hungarian Olympic champions won 6-3 at Wembley. Later England had gone to Budapest and lost 7-1. Yet this club match was so dramatic and the claims on behalf of Wolves and English football so inviting of further challenge that it became the final conclusive evidence for the need to instigate the long- discussed European Cup.
The Honved side included Puskas, Kocsis, Lorant, Czibor and Bozsik, all of whom had been members of the Hungarian team who had inflicted the hammering of England at Wembley as well as appearing in the 1954 World Cup final. So on the face of it Wolves achieved revenge, but it was a victory chauvinistically overplayed by the press of the day. In fact, Honved were at the end of a long tour and, for the international players, an exhausting year. Even so there is no doubt that this was a memorable, vivid drama. Peter Wilson, at that time the doyen of popular journalism, concluded his Daily Mirror report: "I may never live to see a greater thriller than this. And if I see many more as thrilling I may not live much longer anyway."
In France, L'Equipe's football editor, Gabriel Hanot, quietly put the match into perspective by saying Europe should wait for Wolves to play in Moscow and Budapest "before proclaiming their invincibility". He also mentioned Milan and Real Madrid who, with accurate foresight, he suggested would challenge the claims made on Wolves' behalf. Within the week L'Equipe had set out its plans for a European club competition, which the European authority took up, but the following year the insular Football League refused to sanction Chelsea's appearance in the first tournament.
Before meeting Honved at Molineux, Wolves, the League champions, had beaten the visiting Moscow Spartak under floodlights (a novelty in those days) and drawn with First Vienna, but it was anticipated that the "Mighty Magyars", the spine of the superb Hungarian national team, would be much tougher. That toughness was questioned by the Wolves fans when, before the match, the Hungarians came on to the pitch and threw them flowers. The friendly but completely alien gesture was met with embarrassment and a few shouts suggesting that the visitors were a bunch of pansies. Far from it.
Wolves spent the first 10 minutes attempting to control Honved's deceptive, constantly changing tactics. First the Hungarians attacked wide, then there would be a long ball from defence to attack followed by a succession of short passes. Bert Williams, the England goalkeeper, stood up to it all until a free-kick by Puskas to the head of Kocsis resulted in his being stranded. Wolves missed chances, Honved took another, Kocsis sending Machos away to beat an on-rushing Williams.
Wolves gathered themselves and Farago, in the Honved goal, had to save from Wilshaw, Broadbent, Flowers, Swinbourne and Smith. Honved were reduced to counter-attacks and fighting back against the almighty sound of a packed ground. Farago remained an acrobatic barrier. He also dealt with the accurate crosses from the winger Hancocks. Then Hancocks moved inside, was fouled by Kovaks and successfully took the penalty himself.
Honved were clearly troubled by Wolves' incessant pressure which seemed to be raised on the waves of sound from 60,000 voices. They conceded an equaliser in the 76th minute. It was a goal typical of the best of Wolves' accurate long-ball game: Slater out to Wilshaw, a centre and Swinbourne heading in.
Wilshaw soon attacked again and this time his centre was volleyed in, again by Swinbourne. Williams still needed to save at the feet of Czibor. Wolves held firm, but their inspired victory was something of a delusion. They were better organised than England had been but Real Madrid, with wins in the first five European Cup finals, were soon to make the nation accept that both at national and club level they had fallen behind in the skills of a game they invented.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO – Be prepared! Don't forget clothes to protect you from cold, heat, or rain. Use maps to show you where you'll be going & so you won't get lost. Learn about the areas you visit. Read books & talk to people before you go. The more you know the more fun you'll have.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH – Stay on the main trail to protect nature and don't wander off by yourself. Steer clear of flowers or small trees. Once hurt, they may not grow back! Use existing camp areas – camp at least 100 big steps from roads, trails and water.
TRASH YOUR TRASH – Pack it in, pack it out. Put litter, even crumbs, in trash cans or carry it home. Use bathrooms or outhouses when available. If you have to "go," act like a cat and bury poop in a small hole 4-8 inches deep and 100 big steps from water. Place toilet paper in a plastic bag and put the bag in a garbage can back home. Keep water clean. Do not put soap, food, or poop in lakes or streams.
LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND – Leave plants, rocks, and historical items as you find them so the next person can enjoy them. Treat living plants with respect. Hacking or peeling plants can kill them. Good campsites are found, not made. Don't dig trenches or build structures in your campsite.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE – Use a camp stove for cooking. It's easier to cook on and clean up than a fire. Be sure it's OK to build a campfire in the area you're visiting. Use an existing fire ring to protect the ground from heat. Keep your fire small. Remember, campfires aren't for trash or food. Do not snap branches off live, dead, or downed trees. Instead collect loose sticks from the ground. Burn all wood to ash and be sure that the fire is completely out and cold before you leave.
BE KIND TO OTHER VISITORS – Make sure the fun you have in the outdoors does not bother anybody else. Remember that other visitors are there to enjoy the outdoors too. Listen to nature. Avoid making loud noises or yelling. You will see more animals if you are quiet.

Reducing Child Marriage in Ind
The elimination of child marriage has finally reached the global policy agenda with the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. This achievement required many years of investments in research and evidence generation, programming, advocacy and lobbying. Dedicated organizations, such as Girls Not Brides, have been set up and in recent years we have seen an increase in international donor funding for programmes to reduce child marriage. Ending child marriage is a corporate priority for UNICEF's child protection, gender equality and adolescent empowerment work globally, across Sout

Admittedly, there are few Academy Award-winning movies in the giant monster film genre, but nobody said that guys in rubber monster suits were supposed to produce highbrow, intellectual art.
With the recent release of the new Godzilla film, there will be a spotlight once again placed on the giant monster and his/her/its place in film history.
Keeping that in mind, here's a very subjective listing of the five all-time greatest giant monster movies:
Godzilla (1954)
The original Godzilla may not have been the first giant monster movie, but it certainly was the biggest and most influential, generating 27 sequels, billions of dollars worth of merchandising, and even a Saturday morning cartoon. Arguably, this tale of a giant nuclear radiation-spawned lizard is also the best of the genre, given its original concept and the overall limitations of special effects at the time. The fact that a new Godzilla movie is generating so much mainstream buzz-sixty years after the release of the original-serves as testament to the awesomeness of the story.
King Kong (1976)
Fans of the King Kong story will argue about which of the three major motion pictures is the best telling of the classic tale. However, the 1976 version, in this subjective opinion, offers the best blend of mega-pic bang and solid storytelling. A classic story fit into giant monster intrigue, King Kong is very close to being the king of the genre.
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
One of the many, many films in the Godzilla series, Destroy All Monsters is the Battle Royal of giant monster movies, featuring many of the all-time Japanese favorites like Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and several others in a planet-wide battle for control of Earth. Forget the silly story about alien mind control, just focus on all the cool building-crushing giant monster action.
The Blob (1958)
The original version of this giant monster classic features Steve McQueen in his debut role as a leading man. Unique in the genre, humanity faces the threat of being sucked dry by a growing, pulsating blub that originated as the ugly, gooey center of an Earth-bound meteorite.
Jurassic Park (1993)
The fifth slot on this list is very much open for debate and could've gone to several other films. However, because of its special effects wizardry and the overall strength of the story, this tale of dinosaur rejuvenation gone horribly wrong gets the highly subjective nod. Epic without being gaudy, Jurassic Park is simply a darn fine movie.

Suicide Prevention Brochure- English
RESOURCE NAME: Suicide Prevention Brochure- English
TARGET AUDIENCE: General Public
LANGUAGE: English and Spanish
This four-panel, pocket-size brochure provides information about warning signs, how to find the words to offer support to someone and a link to the campaign website for national and local resources (www.suicideispreventable.org).
Printing/Construction - There are two versions of this brochure; both are customizable. Use the standard brochure named "Customizable Brochure" to send to a printer. Make sure your printer is aware that this file contains crop marks and bleeds.
Use the brochure named "In House Customizable Brochure" to print on your home or office printer.
To customize, use the highlighted field, preplaced in the PDF document and located on the white talk bubble, to add your local crisis number and/or website. (You can also send directly to print if you do not wish to add information. Once printed, you can add a stamp or sticker, if desired, to customize the brochure for your county.)
When printed flat, the brochure will be 17" wide by 5.5" tall. This brochure is a double gatefold, which means it folds into itself twice from the center (for information on fold: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/glossary/g/doublegatefold.htm).
After folding, the brochure will measure 4.25" wide by 5.5" tall. We recommend printing full color, double sided, on opaque white 40–60 lb. weight paper. For best results, we recommend sending this piece to a printer; however, you can print from your home or office computer. You will need to print on a tabloid size sheet of paper (11" x 17") and fold your paper in half so that your brochure is now two-sided. From here, you can proceed with the double gatefold as described.

Mrs Allen on All Fours
Develop the Perfect Relationship with Your Pet
This is a dog training book, but of course my inner 12 year old boy was laughing at the title. Maybe because they use "Mrs. Allen" instead of her first name. It just sounds funny in a naughty way.
I can't speak to Mrs Allens's dog training abilities or the quality of the information, however, I am a bit put off by a lot of self-promotion of her products. I usually like to skip these kind of books when possible.
How did this title get out of an editorial meeting approved?
More doggie books:
Are the images broken for anyone else or is it just me? I've been having computer problems all morning so I just want to double check.
Broken for me.
I can't see the photos either, no computer problems here. A pity, this sounds hysterical!
still broken
Not working for me either.
I couldn't see the images in my feed reader (it's probably still referencing the original problem post) but I can see them on the post itself. Well worth it!
For a second I thought that was Joan London!
It's her non-smile smile that's getting to me with this one. (Now that the images are working.) She looks like she's just smelled a really bad fart but not letting on.
What's that, Lassie? The book fell down the well? Get help!

For most skiers there are two main alternatives: a quick crossing from Dover or Folkestone to Calais or Boulogne; or a longer one to Normandy or Holland, preferably undertaken at night.
I'm a fan of the latter approach, which for most residents of southern England means you can leave home in the evening and be on the autoroute or autobahn bright and early the next morning, and can reach, without strain, a wide range of resorts within the day.
There are two main groups of useful routes. For those based west of London aiming for the western Alps, the obvious crossings to consider are Portsmouth to Le Havre (P&O) and Portsmouth to Caen (Brittany Ferries), then on French motorways via Paris to Geneva, Chambery or Grenoble. For those based further east heading for the Swiss or Austrian Alps via the German motorways, the main long-crossing alternatives are Harwich to Hook of Holland (Stena Sealink) and Sheerness to Vlissingen (Olau).
If you don't fall into one of these two categories, the equations become more complicated: you will want to weigh up the journey to the embarkation port, the distance from disembarkation to resort, the timings and relative costs.
Both companies operating the western routes offer two basic kinds of fare: component ones, in which you add up the fare for your car and for each passenger, and inclusive fares, which cover the car and up to five people. Both are lower if you return within 10 days.
Two adults travelling together will find Brittany Ferries' inclusive fares cheaper than their component ones, but will find the converse with P&O. There is little to choose between the two companies, although Brittany Ferries has the edge. Assuming you travel overnight, a total fare of about pounds 185 will buy a two-berth cabin with washbasin from P&O, but a cabin with shower from Brittany Ferries. If you're going for more than 10 days, you'll pay about pounds 215 for the same facilities.
Not surprisingly, inclusive fares look even more attractive to a larger group sharing a car. A family of four occupying a Brittany Ferries cabin with shower pays pounds 226 for 10 days, pounds 256 for longer. P&O's inclusive fares become more economical than their component fares for a group of four, but work out quite a bit higher than Brittany Ferries if you opt for a shower.
On the eastern routes, the operators offer a similar choice of component and inclusive fares, but with an additional complication: Olau's inclusive fares vary
according to when you travel, Friday and Saturday nights being appreciably more expensive.
Overall, fares on eastern routes are considerably higher than those on the western ones. Two adults sharing a cabin comes to pounds 272 with Olau, pounds 336 with Stena Sealink; for a family of four, inclusive fares become attractive, totalling pounds 338 with Olau (if you avoid weekend travel), pounds 376 with Stena Sealink. The fact that German motorways are free (whereas tolls in France mount up) doesn't fully compensate for these higher fares.
On the shorter crossings from Dover and Folkestone, you have three possible modes of travel: conventional ferries operating from Dover by Stena Sealink and P&O; Hoverspeed's hovercraft from Dover; and, rather confusingly, Hoverspeed's catamaran (or SeaCat) from Folkestone.
Price comparisons here are normally simplified by the irrelevance of cabins. The cheapest is the last: the 50-minute journey by SeaCat costs pounds 112 for two, pounds 121 for a family of four or five. In contrast, the 35-minute hovercraft is the most expensive at pounds 138 for two, pounds 150 for the family.
Conventional ferries take 75 to 90 minutes to cross the Channel and, near as dammit, cost the same: pounds 125 for two (component fare), pounds 135 for the family (inclusive fare). Single adults planning to take two children should note that they can save a few pounds with Stena Sealink (which charges pounds 10 per child) rather than P&O (which charges the full pounds 25).
Sally Ferries' Ramsgate to Dunkirk service strikes me as an unhappy compromise: at 2 1/2 hours, it is too long to appeal in the daytime and too short to be satisfactory overnight. Not surprisingly, there is compensation in the fares, which are similar to SeaCat's: pounds 115 for two, pounds 122 for a family.
Sally, Stena Sealink and P&O all offer special ski deals, packaging ferry fares with continental motor insurance and other benefits - and adding another layer of complexity to these already intricate cost comparisons.
P&O's Ski Fare and Stena Sealink's Ski-Link provide winter sports insurance. For two, they are identically priced at pounds 159; for more, Ski-Link becomes appreciably more expensive. Sally's package provides snow chains but not winter sports insurance and costs pounds 139 for five. The Sally and Stena packages are slightly more expensive at peak times.
Whether you can make the best of these packages will depend on your circumstances. Finally, if you're tempted by the insurance- based ones, don't forget to check the terms of the policy.Reuse content

Robbie Williams set for Valentine's wedding
Robbie Williams plans to get married on Valentine's Day (14.02.10).
The 'Bodies' singer only got engaged last week but is desperate to make Ayda Field - who he has been dating for around three years - his wife, and has earmarked the romantic day as a possible wedding date.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Robbie doesn't want to have a long, drawn-out engagement. When he gets something in his head, there's no stopping him. He's asked all his friends and family to keep the entire week free leading up to February 14, so they can have a week-long celebration before Valentine's Day."
The 35-year-old star is hoping to whisk loved-ones over to Santa Barbara, California, for the ceremony and he has already looked around two prospective venues.
The nuptials are set to be a star-studded event, with his former Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange and other celebrity pals set to attend.
The source added: "He has asked best friend Jonathan Wilkes to be best man and it's likely Take That will perform."
Lady Gaga's extravagant show
Lady Gaga splashed out £52,000 on the huge bathtub used for her performance on 'The X Factor' last year and has already overspent by £2 million on her US tour.
Lady Gaga spent £52,000 on a bath tub.
The 'Bad Romance' singer - who describes her stage show as "ostentatious and over-the-top" - is making a heavy loss every night she performs on the North American leg of her 'Monster Ball Tour, even though every concert is sold out, which has so far overspent by £2 million.
The massive costs have been run up by her elaborate stage design, costumes and props, including the giant bath she used while making a promotional appearance on UK TV talent show 'The X Factor'.
A source said: "The concerts are losing money hand over fist because they've spent a fortune on pricey costumes, technical equipment and elaborate set designs. She spent £500,000 on one stage alone.
"But Lady Gaga gets what Lady Gaga wants. Her wardrobe is huge and she wants to shock - and that costs serious money."
According to her spokesman, the 23-year-old star just "doesn't care" about the financial side of things.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I can't comment on figures but it wouldn't be a surprise. Gaga puts everything into her live shows. I wouldn't want to be her accountant."
While she has already overspent massively, Lady Gaga's bills are expected to soar significantly again as she recently revealed she is planning a completely different set for the European part of her tour.
She said: "For the next version of the 'Monster Ball', which is going to be in February when I begin in the UK with my arena tour, I'm throwing out the stage. My team thinks I'm completely psychotic. But I don't f***ing care what they think.
"Just to give you an idea, the stage is about four times the size of the one we're on now and conceptually, it's completely different. One thing that has been lost over the past 10-15 years, in pop music, is the idea of showbiz. And this is definitely going to bring that back."Posted on 6 Jan 2010 10:30 to category : Band / Celebrity News

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Ibis Wien Messe Vienna
Quando chegamos não encontravam nossa reserva. Por conta disso deixei minha bolsa de mão junto com a bafagem num sofá do hotel. Cheguei no quarto sem a bolsa, a máquina fotográfica e as fotos de Praga e Budapeste. Não esquecerei jamais este episódio. Depois dos fatos da chegada, o hotel não foi uma experiência de todo ruim. Desjejum razoável, quarto bom e bem localizado.

text:
Malala was born on 12 July 1997 in Mingora, a town in the Swat District of northwest Pakistan. Her father Ziauddin Yousafzai was a learned man and advocated education for the girl child. In 2009, as the Taliban's military hold on Swat intensified, Malala began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym, about fears that her school would be attacked and the increasing military activity in Swat.
On 9 October 2012, as Malala and her friends were traveling home from school, Malala was shot with a single bullet which went through her head, neck and shoulder. The Taliban's attempt to kill Malala received worldwide condemnation and led to protests across Pakistan.
Malala became a global advocate for the millions of girls being denied a formal education. In 2013, Malala and Ziauddin co-founded the Malala Fund to bring awareness to the social and economic impact of girls' education and to empower girls to raise their voices, to unlock their potential and to demand change. Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on 10 December 2014 and contributed her $1.1 million prize money to financing the creation of a secondary school for girls in Pakistan.
Here are the three life lessons that we must all learn from Malala:
1. Stay strong and stand for yourself:
Despite being in a state of constant danger, Malala braved all odds to acquire education at the young age of eleven. She resisted the status quo and took a stand for herself and did what she felt was right. She spoke up, against the Taliban rule as she anonymously started her own BBC blog. She inspired people to see the wrongs and the injustices that went along with this oppressive rule and faced resistant terrorist organizations just because she firmly believed in herself.
2. The art of persuasion and conviction:
Malala could convince the world that oppression was being inflicted on her and she could win the support of the world for her cause. She could only do that, as she had mastered the art of persuasion. She found that her life, her struggles, and her sacrifice made the most effective story and hence, she worked on herself to make it known.
3. Be yourself
This life lesson may be something that you have read everywhere: Be yourself. But this is indeed the most effective and the most authentic way of communicating. She shares instances from her life—some lighthearted, like how she loves to tease her brothers and her obsession with arm wrestling, and some poignant, like her concern for her homeland and her insecurities about being a teenager. She is unapologetically herself, and that makes her look authentic and genuine.
Malala is truly an inspiration for all the girls across the globe, as she not only did she take a stand for herself but consequently, she took a stand for all the girls and the boys who could not attain education due to the many wrongs and injustices inflicted by terrorists on common people. She is a beacon of hope in a wronged world and we sincerely hope that her cause becomes a reality soon.

We pray:

especially in the wonders of our outback.
May our spirits be lifted to rejoice with the sand
and the wind and the wild of the outback .
May it be so with us.
Hymn (Cont.) "Spirit of God, Creation's Force" (Tune: 'Fulda', 88 88)
Spirit of power and truth and grace,

bestowing gifts, producing fruits,

"Spring Has Now…" (Tune: 'Blackburn', 76 76D) 63 SLT
Spring has now unwrapped the flowers,
day is fast reviving,
life in all her growing powers
toward the light is striving.
Gone the iron touch of cold,
winter time and frost time,
seedlings working through the mold
now make up for lost time.
Herb and plant that, winter long,
slumbered at their leisure,
now be stirring green and strong,
find in growth their pleasure.
All the world with beauty fills,
gold and green enhancing;
flowers make glee among the hills,
set the meadows dancing. (PCantiones, 1582)

Take the eucalyptus leaf you received at the door,

and share with the person next to you

and been embraced by the Southern Cross.
All We remember and rejoice.
Away from the busyness of life and in the silence of this place,
let us now give thanks
for the outback, filled with a mysterious silence!
Sung reflection:
All As this day dawns in beauty,
we pledge ourselves
to repair the web. (Carol P Christ/swc)
Earth is a sanctuary, a sacred planet
filled with the presentness of God.
All A home for us to share with our kin. (Norman Habel/soc)
Readings from our broad Religious Tradition
Two readings from our broad religious tradition shall now be read by (NN).
From the world around us:
"In the Kimberley..."
By Bruce Prewer. Australian Psalms/15.
This outback landscape
is not the right place
for camera and video;
its scale is much too big,
its colours too rich
and a person too small.
The best we can do
is just be here,
overawed by it all.
If that is how it is
with one small parcel
of an ancient land,
why am I so quick
to wordily dogmatise
about the mind of God?
In such sublime territory,
isn't awed worship
the only way to be wise?
Traditional Gospel:
Matthew 20:1-15 (Inclusive text)
The reign of God is like a landowner
who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for the vineyard.
After agreeing with the laborers for the usual daily wage,
the landowner sent them into his vineyard.
The owner went out about nine o'clock
and saw others standing idle in the marketplace; he said to them,
'You also go into the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.'
So they went.
The owner went out again about noon and about three o'clock, and did the same.
And about five o'clock the owner went out
and found others standing around; and said to them,
'Why are you standing here idle all day?'
They said, 'Because no one has hired us'
to which the owner replied:
'You also go into the vineyard.'
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to the manager,
'Call the laborers and give them their pay,
beginning with the last and then going to the first.'
When those hired about five o'clock came,
each of them received the usual daily wage.
Now when the first came,
they thought they would receive more;
but each of them also received the usual daily wage.
And when they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, saying,
'These last worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us
who have borne the heat of the day and the scorching heat.'
But he replied to one of them,
'Friend, I am doing you no wrong;
did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
'Take what belongs to you and go.
I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you.
Am I not allowed to do what I choose
with what belongs to me?
'Or are you envious because I am generous?'
Contemporary Exploration
Silence for Personal Reflection
A Celebration of Faith (Optional)
In response to the word reflected on, let us stand
and share a celebration of faith.
The people stand as they are able
We celebrate a God
All who lives and speaks in sunsets,
in love-wrapped gifts,
and fleeting butterflies.
We celebrate a Christ
All who honoured our humanness,
who climbed trees,
skinned knees;
who laughed and cried,
loved and wept, bled and died.
We celebrate a Spirit,
All who mystically joins us
to people everywhere,
and incorporates us into Christ.
We celebrate a church,
All seeking, however imperfectly,
to act justly, love mercy,
and walk humbly with our God (Adapted. Dorothy McRae-McMahon/eoj)
Sharing 'The Peace'
Let us take a moment to celebrate each other.
The peace of God is here… to stay. (Iona)
All Thanks be to God.
You are invited to share the peace with your neighbours
Hymn People stand as they are able, to sing
"Big Bang" (Tune: 'Amazing Grace' or other suitable CM tune)
We seek the source of all that was
of all that is to be;
the ground of being, source of life
that set creation free
The cataclysmic cosmic force,
God's rollercoaster ride,
may give a glimpse back into time
as particles collide.
For here we watch, observe, compute
and try to understand
the time before we even thought
what physics might demand.
But even if we comprehend
or wonder at these things,
Higgs boson, quasars, pulsars, quarks,
we need the faith God brings.
The test of all we ought to be
is in the common place,
our depth of kindness, strength of love,
that demonstrate God's grace. (© Andrew Pratt 10/9/2008 (email@example.com )
People sit
"Holy Mystery, Holy Wisdom" (Tune: 'Austrian', 87 87D)
Holy Mystery, Holy Wisdom
Wholly Love who guides our way,
Loving Presence, Source of Being,
Now transform us day by day.
Words of Scripture tell our stories,
Voices rise in gifts of song,
Calling us to loving action,
Faith-filled as we journey on.
We are partners in creation,
Bound by love to all around,
Seeking justice and compassion,
Sharing truths that we have found.
Spirit - Source of Inspiration,
Love - our song along the way,
Holy Mystery, Holy Wisdom –
Source of hope with each new day. (© Gayle Simonson, 2005)
Reflections and Prayers
Care Candle:
We are people of all ages who enter this space
bringing our joys and concerns.
Joys and Concerns shared
Focused Thoughts:
Listening Response:
In the light and beauty of day
All We give thanks in awe and wonder.
In the dark and stillness of night
All We dream of healing and hope (Gretta Vosper/wwg)
And so we take this flame and light our special care candle.
The Care Candle is lit
v2 When we are grieving or sad,
When we are challenged,
When we need help,
The flame of this candle guides us out of the darkness.
v3 When we are cheerful,
When we celebrate,
When we accomplish a great task,
When we return to a place that makes us happy,
The flame of this candle reminds us
to share our happiness with others (Adapted. A Palmer)
The 'Abba' Prayer: (Optional)
You are invited to pray in the spirit of the Lord's Prayer, and in your original language, as that is appropriate
All God - heart of the world:
revealed through every aspect of creation:
understood through our awareness.
May we honour the holiness of creation and act accordingly
so that your love is reflected in the way we live.
May we always be thankful for the food we eat
and the friends we have.
May we forgive those who transgress against us
and be forgiven for our own.
In the freedom of love may we live as your heartbeat
and not be compromised by hesitation.
Through our freedom, may your justice
be seen and heard and experienced
forever and ever. Amen. (Sherri J Weinberg)
With the Children
Children gather on the conversation mat
"Somewhere someone:"
The kingdom of love is coming because:
All somewhere someone is kind when others are unkind,
somewhere someone shares with another in need,
somewhere someone refuses to hate, while others hate,
somewhere someone is patient - and waits in love,
somewhere someone returns good for evil,
somewhere someone serves another, in love,
somewhere someone is calm in a storm,
somewhere someone is loving everybody.
Is that someone you? (jke)
Our offerings for the celebration of life in this place and beyond,
and our gifts of bread and wine, shall now be received.
By our smallest actions, we become part of a bigger world.
The smallest giving can be an expression
of the good spirit of generosity and caring.
May we carry through the doorway of each new day
this good spirit of generosity and caring. (Adapted. Francis Macnab/h)
Centering Words
The earth has gone the round of seasons:
from the vibrant green of spring's new life
to the lush richness of warm summer,
to the brilliant fulfillment of riotous autumn,
to the generosity and self-giving of winter.
Now we gather again, touched by the promise
of new life in the spring.
As we celebrate the renewal of life and hope,
we also celebrate the presentness
of the Spirit of Life and Hope and Creativity,
everywhere around and within us.
No matter who you are, or where you are
on life's journey, you are welcome
at this table with it's symbols of God's Creative Presence.
All In company with all who seek nourishment at this table,
we come to celebrate community, and to share
these life-giving symbols. (Jerry Stinson/adapted)
v3 In the early spring, pale green blades of wheat
broke through the earth's surface.
v4 This hand of mine began to take shape millions of years ago
as the first leaves stretched out for nourishment and light.
v5 Eons ago the earth itself was glowing with heat
as it separated itself from the sun.
All (singing) You send your breath.
And they come to life.
You give the earth
the bloom of youth. (Smith & Taussig/mt)
v3 By mid-summer the wheat stems sway heavily
in the breeze for acres and acres
of green and golden earth.
v4 The early species of kangaroo,
able to move quickly and nimbly in a way
we can only imitate, learned which plants
were best for them to eat and sought them out.
v5 The ground we stand on carries in it
the remnants of volcanos and oceans
which once dominated the landscape.
All (singing) You send your breath.
And they come to life.
You give the earth
the bloom of youth.
v3 This morning we gather around the bread,
which comes from the wheat in the paddocks.
v4 This morning we celebrate our oneness
with the plants and the animals,
which precede and surround us.
v5 This morning we remember we are earth people,
united with each other and to all on this globe
by the ground under us.
3,4,5 One body, one history, one home for us all.
All (singing) You send your breath.
And they come to life.
You give the earth
the bloom of youth.
3,4,5 One body, one history, one home for us all.
All (singing) You send your breath.
And they come to life.
You give the earth
the bloom of youth.
3,4,5 One body, one history, one home for us all.
All (singing) You send your breath.
And they come to life.
You give the earth
the bloom of youth.
The Tradition
On the night of his arrest, so the story is told,
Jesus shared again a meal with his friends.
He took the bread, offered thanks, broke it,
and gave it to them, inviting them to eat.
Bread broken
Afterwards, he poured a cup of wine,
offered thanks, and gave it to them,
inviting them to drink.
Wine poured out
And we remember…
v3 Life grows from the earth.
The kernel of wheat lives in the soil before it breaks ground.
As it stretches itself skyward, it also reaches deeper into the earth.
v4 Water and nourishment blend with sunlight as the stalk
begins to produce kernels of its own.
v5 This bread holds those kernels, that sunshine, that soil and water.
As we take it into ourselves, we affirm our own roots in the earth.
This is the ground we stand upon,
the earth yearning to be inside us.
It is the life we have taken in order to live ourselves.
v3 Life flows toward us from the Source beyond us.
It is a stream that creates us anew each day.
v4 It is a stream that wants to make its way through us.
A stream that flows through the city and country.
v5 A stream that readies a harvest in every season.
This is the life we have received from the earth
and from our forbearers.
This is the pulsing energy that has made a home in us
and that we give on (Smith & Taussig/mt).
To eat and drink together reminds us of the deeper aspects of human fellowship,
for from time immemorial
the sharing of bread and wine has been
the most universal of all symbols of community.
Bread and wine served
After Communion
We give thanks that we have gathered together in this sacred place,
and been refreshed at this table.
We rejoice in the giftedness of each person here.
We are grateful for who we are for each other.
May we go forth into the world in courage and peace.
Hymn "We Are Not Our Own" (Tune: 'Nexus', 89 85) 317 (1-2) SLT
We are not our own. Earth forms us,
human leaves on nature's growing vine,
fruit of many generations,
seeds of life divine.
We are not alone. Earth names us:
past and present, peoples near and far,
family and friends and strangers
show us who we are.
Remain standing
Parting Words
As we prepare to leave this sacred space where we have worshipped together,
let us return to our school and work enlivened and renewed...
The Community Candle is extinguished
Hold again the eucalyptus leaf in your hands
as you go forth into this week.
v2 Will you care for creation?
All We will care for creation!
We will nurture the outback!
We will celebrate life!
v2 This we know, the earth does not belong to us,
All We belong to the earth.
Words of Blessing
Go in peace to claim the life of Christ within your midst:
and may the earth be warm under your feet,
the rain bring the gentle flowers
of the bush bright around you,
and the wind blows as the breath of the Spirit before you.
All Amen. May it be so.
Rainbow Blessing
v3 May your inner ear
hear the cries of Mother Earth.
and may you respond with empathy.
(A blue coloured cloth - The Voice from the Deep - is put in place beside the cloths from previous weeks)
v2 May your enquiring mind explode
when you discover the mystery of Wisdom
encoded in the blueprints of nature.
(An indigo coloured cloth - The Wisdom of Nature - is put in place)
v1 May the compassion of the cosmos,
and the empathy of Earth,
stir within you a consciousness
of a spiritual force in nature
that shares pain,
heals hearts,
and nurtures hope. (Norman Habel/rm)
Hymn (Cont) "We Are Not Our Own" (Tune: 'Nexus', 89 85) 317 (v3-4) SLT
Therefore let us make thanksgiving,
and with justice, willing and aware,
give to earth, and all things living,
liturgies of care.
Let us be a house of welcome,
living stone upholding living stone,
gladly showing all our neighbours
we are not our own! (Brian Wren)
