Backpackers fly to the Gold Coast
'I'm A Backpacker... Get Me In Here!' contestants compete for the jungle title
The six competition winners of 'I'm A Backpacker... Get Me In Here!' have flown to the Gold Coast to compete for the title 'King or Queen of the Jungle.'
The six UK backpackers, Dave Brett, Andy Gosling, Chantelle Keady, Maire McDonnell, Sadie Rose and Nikki Smith, flew from Heathrow Airport to Australia on Saturday night courtesy of Qantas and were keen to compete for the crown.
Dave Brett, 22, from Chingford, said: "I hope I win, I really do, but even if I don't win I'm having the trip of a lifetime. I'm so happy to be going."
Andy Gosling, 26, from Windsor, said it was the Australian activities that he was most looking forward to: "The thing I'm most looking forward to is activities. We're going quad biking, we're climbing up a sky-scraper the day we arrive. I really thrive on adventure, and for that reason I'm going to win."
Chantelle Keady, 22, from Kingston, was a little more honest: "I think I'm going to win because there's nothing that I wouldn't do." No doubt she'll be put to the test.
All entrants to the competition were required to submit a one-minute video explaining why they wanted to win the trip to Australia. The entries were uploaded to gapyear.com's YouTube channel, and viewers were invited to vote for their favourite video by 'Liking' it. The winners were the six videos with the most 'Likes'.
'I'm A Backpacker... Get Me In Here!' was a great success, with nearly 30,000 video views and more than 4,500 votes. The competition was far reaching with organisers, entrants and enthusiastic observers sharing video content through Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
All six contestants will do a number of activities with Gold Coast Tourism including their very own 'bush-tucker trials'. What do you think they'll have to do?
You can follow the contestants live on our Facebook page and on the Twitter hashtag #imabackpacker to get up-to-date information. Also, you can see the story so far with our indepth feature and interview.

2011 Barbecue Summer Camp Story and Recap from the Houston Chronicle
Check out this story about our 1st Annual Barbecue Summer Camp that just occurred June 3-5. It brings back very tasty memories. Also, stay tuned for details on our 2nd Annual Barbecue Summer Camp planned for Summer 2012 in College Station. We expect the 2012 camp to sell out, so become a member of Foodways Texas for 10% off registration and to make sure you get first chance to purchase tickets. We had a blast at Texas A&M this year and can't wait for next summer. Hope to see you there.
Here's a clip from the story:
It's all in the smoke
The thermometer on the wall inside the pit room at Martin's Barbecue reads 104. But that's a good 10 feet from the heat source. Stand close to the pits, as Steve Kapchinskie does 12 to 14 hours a day, and you are basically being cooked, much like the brisket and pork ribs that have made Martin's the most treasured barbecue in the Byran/College Station area.
Kapchinskie, whose grandfather Martin began selling barbecue in 1925, will tell you, you won't find any flies in his work area. That's because they can't live in the smoky atmosphere, which is so thick you have to wonder how Kapchinskie does it day in and out. After a few minutes I'm stepping outside to grab oxygen that hasn't been consumed by oak fire.
Kapchinskie doesn't seem to notice the omnipresent fog-like haze that has colored the ceiling coal black. "My doctor said my lungs are great. I've been doing this since I was 12 years old and I'm 54," the third-generation pitmaster said with a smile. "But I work hard for it."
And we are grateful he does. No one seems to mind that it's still morning on the first day of our camp and we're wolfing down the best Martin's has to offer. We are brought here by Texas barbecue authority Robb Walsh, one of our instructors, who has written extensively about the various historical and ethnic forces – which he calls "cultural tectonic plates" – that have come to define the styles of Texas barbecue. Walsh is high on this 'cue shack, which he likens to a smoky time capsule.
Getting that smoke just right is the not-so-secret key to Martin's barbecue, or any other barbecue for that matter.
"My father and grandfather said to me to let the wood do the cooking."
Here, it's doing the cooking and all the talking.

There's an eclectic mix of materials that work together to enhance the ambience, including leather highlights around the centre console and, depending on which trim you opt for, attractive inserts on the dashboard. Breaking down the category scores, the car has a better adult protection score than a Kodiaq and Audi Q5, and beats the Kodiaq on child protection, too.
"Mazda's SKYACTIV Technology has given the CX-5 some of the lowest CO₂ emissions and highest fuel economy figures in the class, beating those of rivals such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. However, the CX-5 also has the space to rival them, because its interior is large and the boot a generous size. It handles exceptionally well for a large SUV, too, while the amount of standard equipment you get is plentiful considering the car's relatively low price."–WhatCar?, 2017.
What Car? Commented that, "the Mazda CX-5 retains its crown at the cheaper end of the large SUV class, helped in part by the revisions applied last year. Mazda has revised the suspension, refreshed the styling and improved the interior, infotainment and noise suppression. It remains spacious inside and usefully practical, and the ride is more forgiving. In short, it's a superb car made better."

I printed tags (free download) to match the papers for journaling and the title. I backed snowflakes and a swirl sticker with paper and trimmed around the edges for a contrasting look before adding them to my page. Red rick-rack adds fun and brings out the red in the background paper. Aqua mini brads at the snowflake centers finish the look.

Things to Consider when Shopping for Family Hot Tubs
If you were to decide the best places to create family time together, a family hot tub would be right there at the top. Hot tubs can't change the pace of modern life, but they will give you a reason to relax and enjoy each other's company. Also, family hot tubs are a great place to share time with your partner. Another benefit is that it can be easier for parents and teens to have conversations when relaxing together in the family hot tub. Whether you're having fun at a backyard gathering or enjoying a solo relaxation session, you must follow these tips for a great hot tub time.
Decide on Spa Size
When you are shopping for a family hot tub, you should keep in mind how much space you have to work with. Sometimes the toughest part of choosing your family spa is deciding how best to balance the people you want to accommodate with the amount of space you have available.
The comfort of the hot tub's seating is very important. To ensure that your comfort level is met, be sure to sit in the hot tub or spa before purchasing. It's also highly recommended that you "wet test" the spa; this will give you the best indication of how comfortable it is for you and other intended users. Comfort factors include seating depth and variety, lounge fit, access to hot tub controls, ease of entry and exit, and cushioned headrests.
Friends like to visit
Love to invite friends and relatives over for weekends, or just to visit? Then you need a family hot tub with lots of open seating and plenty of jets to pamper all your guests. Friends will enjoy dropping by for a relaxing soak and conversation. There is a tempting selection of luxury hot tubs with open seating priced for various family budgets.
Use Spa Boss Spa Shock
Spa Boss Spa Shock is a non chlorinating shock treatment for Hot Tubs. Spa Shock is an oxidizer and can be used with chlorine or bromine sanitizing products. It also works quickly in oxidizing many kinds of contaminants that reduce the effectiveness of your hot tub's chlorine or bromine. Spa Shock will not affect the water's pH level. Spa boss chemicals will help restore water quality and give a boost to the chlorine or bromine levels.
Think long-term quality
You should forego some of the "cheap hot tubs" that are made from inflatable plastic, or those which can be folded up and stored. You might not be paying for high quality materials when you buy these types of hot tubs - and it is most likely that the money you spend will only last for a few good years before you need to purchase a replacement. Look for a spa that is well-built, uses high-quality materials and components, and is backed by a reputable dealer and spa manufacturer
There are so many factors to consider in your hot tub purchasing process. Embrace these factors and see how a hot tub session can be a great way to break from the routine of the day and let go of worries. Let a hot tub create a welcoming place for communicating, bonding and just having fun in your backyard.

Large cap stocks in the S&P 500 index that have been buying back their shares for the past 5 years have outperformed the stocks of companies that used their free cash flow to pay cash dividends. That finding by Citi Equity Strategy boss Tobias Levkovich is a compelling theme to consider at the start of 2013. Buying back stock is more shareholder friendly than paying out more income annually to shareholders.
You would have more than doubled your money-- in a period the market indexes were flat-- by accumulating United Technologies,(UTX), Walgreen,(WAG), Microsoft,(MSFT), Unitedhealth Group(UNH), Johnson& Johnson(JNJ), Entergy Corp,(ETR), Time Warner Inc.(TWX) and Travelers Cos.(TRV)-- which would have not been a shoddy portfolio at all.
"The dividend theme continues to make sense in view of attractive yields relative to cash or Treasuries... but the consistent shrinkage of share count is meaningfully different than mere stock buybacks," the Citi Equity Strategy team wrote on Dec. 31, 2012.
This theme fits in with another decade-old Citi investing concept called "De-equitization," which suggests that using cash reserves that pay very little income, when compared to the cost of servicing high yield bonds, has the potential; "to become the list of the 10-year winners over the next few years." Definitely worth mulling over as you scrutinize your portfolio which may be weighted heavily for high-yielding stocks.
Another related theme is the view that "Dividend Aristocrats," stocks with "significant dividend" yields, are not necessarily overpriced by the market at the current time. Citi's list of "S&P 500 companies with the ability to raise dividends include American Express(AXP), Cigna Corp,(CI) Loews Corp,(L), Oracle Corp,(ORCL), Adobe Systems(ADBE) and Tyson Foods ClA,(TSN).
Citi also likes blue-chip stocks with free cash flow yields that are considered not especially risky due to the valuation in credit markets. Such stocks include Merck(MRK), yielding 4.14%, Chevron Corp,(CVX) yielding 3.22%, Bristol-Myer,(BMY), yielding 4.19%, DuPont,(DD), yielding 3.77%, or Verizon Communications(VZ) paying 4.71%.
I found provocatively sensible Citi's view to stay away from fad stocks in the social media world and to be wary of the automobile, Chemicals, and Capital Goods stocks that garner more than 20% of their revenue from Europe. Avoid trends in stocks. Recall what happened to energy stocks in the late 1970s, when oil prices spiked, defense names during the Reagan arms buildup in the 1980s, media and telecom in the late 1990s, housing shares in the mid-2000s, and social media in 2012. Damned fine advice.

If Nano goes to MP, it will be in Rajgarh
Shashikant Trivedi in Bhopal | August 27, 2008 09:51 IST
Though the Madhya Pradesh government has invited Ratan Tata informally for his Nano project, the factory can be accommodated only in the arid area of Rajgarh. Rajgarh falls on National Highway 3 and 12 and borders on Rajasthan.
The state government, according to insiders, does not have land in prime industrial areas, not even in Pithampur, which is known for its auto-component manufacturing units and a proposed a world-class digital auto testing track.
The state government does not have land in any other location or industrial area either. The Tatas will have to acquire the land privately, which will be another costly affair in terms of investment and social issues.
"Rajgarh is the only location where we have land for the Tatas," a highly placed government official in the department of industry said.
This area has one water source - the Ghora Pachhar river. Spread over 12,000 acres, the land is marked under the category "undeveloped", which means the Tatas will have to stump up at least Rs 300,000 per acre after development.

Francona introduced as new Indians Manager
The Cleveland Indians formally introduced new manager Terry Francona at a press conference Monday at Progressive Field.
Francona signed a four-year deal over the weekend to manage the Indians, but hopes to be around longer than that.
"I don't want to be a rental manager," Francona said. "I didn't want to come in worried. I want to be part of the solution. I want to stick around.
"I didn't come here to go to pasture."
Francona is the Indians 42nd manager. He takes over a club coming off a 68-94 season.
Francona led the Boston Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. He was let go last year after a September collapse in which the Red Sox went 7-20 down the stretch to miss out on a playoff spot.
He spent this season working as an analyst for ESPN.
Francona replaces Manny Acta, who was fired in September. Sandy Alomar Jr. managed the team in the interim to finish the season. He was the only other known candidate for the job.
Acta was ousted just before finishing his third season with the Indians. He compiled a 214-266 record in Cleveland, including a 65-91 mark this year.
Francona said he has not yet hired any coaches for his staff. Alomar could return as the Indians bench coach, but he also may be a candidate for other managerial jobs.
Francona has already reached out to several players on the Indians' young club.
"This is a clean slate for everybody," he said. "Dealing with players is fun. Dealing with young players is really fun."
Unlike the Red Sox, the Indians do not have a large payroll. Francona said that is not a concern to him.
"I don't care what players are making," he said. "I want them to play the game right."
Francona, 53, also managed the Philadelphia Phillies (1997-2000) and was with the Red Sox for eight seasons. His overall managerial record is 1,029-915.
The Red Sox didn't get the desired results by replacing Francona, as his successor, Bobby Valentine, was fired last week after one season.
One of Francona's 10 seasons as a major league player was spent in Cleveland, as he played there in 1988. He also spent the 2001 season in the Indians' front office after he was fired in Philadelphia.
Francona's 78-year-old father, Tito, who played for the Indians from 1959-64, was in attendance at the press conference.

Gabriel Aubry Claims Olivier Martinez Threatened to Kill Him: Report
Gabriel Aubry is seeking his own legal protection against the man he brawled with on Thanksgiving.
The French-Canadian model, who got into a knockdown, dragout fight with Halle Berry's fiance Olivier Martinez Nov. 23, has been granted a restraining order against the actor, TMZ reports.
PHOTOS: How Nahla has grown up
In his legal declaration, Aubry, 36, claims that, in the midst of their fight, Martinez screamed that he would kill Aubry if he didn't move to Paris. (Berry and Aubry are currently embroiled in a bitter custody dispute over their four-year-old daughter, Nahla. The actress and her new love had been hoping to move the tot to the French city, although a judge recently shut those plans down, arguing that the relocation would make it more difficult for Aubry to spend time with his little girl.)
Aubry also claims that Martinez approached him during a play at Nahla's school the day before Thanskgiving, and told him that he wished he "could beat the sh-- out of you right now. You're lucky we're in school right now. We're going to take Nahla right now and you're not going to follow us."
Nahla's dad's legal account paints a very different picture of last week's events than Berry and Martinez's tale. (The pair say Aubry was the one who "initiated" the fight.)
PHOTOS: Halle and Gabriel in happier times
Following the violent altercation, Berry was granted an Emergency Protective Order against her ex, a source tells Us Weekly. The temporary restraining order, which goes into effect December 3, means Aubry must also stay 100 yards away from the Cloud Atlas star, Martinez and Nahla.

Alternatively Sicomancy, Sychomancy, and Sycomanty.
Derived from the Greek sūkon ('fig') and manteia ('divination'), it is the art and practice of divining the past, the present and the future by figs and/or fig tree leaves, or sycamore leaves.
In one of its most common methods, the diviner's question or proposition is written in a fig leaf; the slower it dries, the more favorable the omen. If the leaf dries quickly, it is a negative portent.
In another form of Sycomancy, the diviner wrote names and questions on the fig leaves, which were then exposed to the winds. Those remaining furnished the answers sought.
Another form of this mode of divination employed techniques similar to Tasseomancy, where shapes and forms made by the tea leaves remaining in the cup after the tea was drunk are used for the reading. In Sycomancy, the tea was made from fig leaves.
There are hundreds of fig trees species, and in many different regions of the world they are revered as a Tree of Life or Knowledge.
In ancient Greece the fig was sacred to the god Bacchus, who was credited for its creation. The fruit symbolized reproduction, fertility, and wisdom. The fig is also mentioned 57 times in the Bible, indicating its importance. In Victorian England, if a woman dreamed of figs, it meant she would have a long, happy life, with riches and all of her wishes fulfilled. If she ever received a gift of figs that dried out, it meant ill luck and unhappiness.
A modern form of Sycomancy involves various messages written on slips of paper, rather then fig leaves. They are rolled up and then held in a strainer over a steaming pot of water. The slip of paper that unrolls first will have the correct answer. According to occult tradition, for this method to work correctly, one of the slips of paper must remain blank.

In another contemporary form of this type of divination, ivy leaves are used. They are to be placed in water for five days, and then collected for interpretation. If the leaves are still fresh and green, good health and fortune are in the person's future, but spotted, darkened leaves mean that illness or misfortune is in the horizon, in the same proportion as the number of such ominous blots.
Sycomancy, a form of Botanomancy, like most divinatory systems, is quite ancient, and has been practiced since time immemorial.

Rubbermaid Products: BPA status
BPA (bisphenol-a) has been all over the news lately and much of the attention has been focused on its presence or absence in children's bottles and toys. We were washing a Rubbermaid pitcher last night and started to wonder whether it and other plastic kitchen products we own contained BPA.
Many companies (not to mention the FDA) continue to defend the safety of BPA, yet acknowledge consumers' concerns about it. In this vein, we were pleased to find clear information (and visual references) on Rubbermaid's website about which of their products contain BPA and which do not.
If you own a bunch of Rubbermaid products the good news is that most are BPA free. If you want to be sure, visit their site to see photos and names of their products along with their BPA status.

Dice cards are great to use with preschool games.

Douglas County is part of a $200 million project that will add a managed toll lane on C-470 from Kipling Boulevard to Interstate 25.
The project is intended to ease traffic on the busy state highway that extends from the Denver Tech Center in the east to Littleton and Ken-Caryl in the west.
Art Griffith, transportation capital projects manager for Douglas County and project manager for the C-470 project through the C-470 Coalition, said existing traffic around Santa Fe Boulevard and C-470 is 70,000 vehicles per day, and about 100,000 vehicles per day on C-470 between the Quebec Street exit and I-25.
To put that into perspective, the current traffic on I-25 between Lincoln Avenue and C-470 is between 100,000-110,000 a day and that's with four lanes each direction, whereas C-470 only has two lanes each direction.
The coalition has recently secured $100 million in money from the Colorado Department of Transportation's Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships program. Another $90 million is expected to come from revenue from the managed toll lane. The remaining $10 million is coming from Douglas County.
Griffith said the lane will be an interior one going both ways and will be an open toll lane, as opposed to the closed toll lane along I-25. Tolls will be collected through transponders or license plate billing. The toll will be more expensive at times of high traffic and less expensive at times of low traffic. The full build-out to Kip-ling won't be until 2035 with this first phase from the South Platte River to I-25.
Also included in the project is the installation of auxiliary lanes for short distances between exits on the right side of each way of the highway.
"It's really good for people that rely on the interstate for short trips, so it improves the general purpose lanes so that's an element of the project that address congestion for the right lane of off and on traffic," Griffith said.
Construction is set to begin in 2015 and be completed by 2018, Griffith said.
The coalition, made up of jurisdictions along C-470 and other interested parties, began looking at solutions to address the congestion on C-470 in 2011. The options before them were to raise property and/or sales taxes, change all lanes of C-470 to toll roads or construct a toll lane and pay for it through fees.
Griffith said after a lengthy public outreach process that reached tens of thousands, the new toll lane was the popular choice.
Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert said the county is willing to put up so much money for it and had made it their number one infrastructure priority because C-470 runs through a very important economic corridor.
"Thirty percent of the state's entire (gross domestic product) is in The Denver Tech Center corridor," Hilbert said. "Getting people to and from work is going to be critical."
He also said he feels they are working ahead of the problem and that traffic will only get worse on C-470. It's also important for the continued economic growth of the South Metro area and Douglas County because if the congestion gets too bad, business owners will reconsider locating their companies in the area, he said.

Hello, world! I'm Gena – like Gina, but with an E. Welcome to the blog of Bake All The Things!
I fully admit to having quite the sweet tooth, so why not share my love of baking, eating, and indulging with the world? What started as a fun hobby after losing my job last fall has quickly morphed into a 'real' business…and I couldn't be more surprised with it myself!
Many of my favorite childhood memories include fighting with my younger sister over who gets to lick the beaters and who gets to lick the bowl when we 'helped' our mom make our family birthday cakes. When I had the opportunity last fall to shift gears from non-profit fundraising and event-planning, the thought of brownies and cookies and truffles as a part of my daily life sounded fantastic.
It didn't take long for me to find my baking specialty – rich, decadent treats just begging to be tasted! I enjoy learning to work with hard-to-find or extravagant ingredients, or with recipes that require multiple pots and bowls and include so many steps that three years ago I'd never have attempted them! I hope you'll take a look around my shop here and my larger selection on Etsy and find something to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Since I'm currently an online-order business, I'd like to use this blog to tout all things yummy and indulgent that DON'T fit in a shipping box. I can't wait to share my recipes for cool, creamy or iced desserts I simply can't offer to mail! I'll happily take the opportunity to wax poetic about fabulous dessert shops [and brunch – I loooove brunch!], trial-and-error-and-hopefully-successes in the kitchen, share handy hints and product reviews, and generally satisfy your sugar craving digitally.
I'm still trekking the steep learning curve of starting my itty bitty business, so we're all in this journey together. I invite you to share your comments with me on the blog whenever you'd like. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter or email me at email@example.com

Bavasi, McLaren to return for 2008 season
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, September 27, 2007
Howard Lincoln freely admits he doesn't come out of this season fully satisfied with the Mariners' results.
"It's a year of mixed emotions," the club CEO said Thursday in announcing that general manager Bill Bavasi and manager John McLaren will return in 2008. "I'm very pleased with having a winning season. On the other hand, I'm very disappointed with what happened in mid-August."
That's when the Mariners, after getting to 20 games over .500, lost nine games in a row to kiss the playoffs goodbye.
Still, when the Mariners were eliminated from the postseason Tuesday, it didn't take long for Lincoln and club president Chuck Armstrong to determine that Bavasi and McLaren had done enough right to deserve a return engagement.
"The two best guys for us right now," Lincoln said, "are Bill and John."
With the Mariners locked into second place, 2008 already is the focus. Bavasi, McLaren and their staffs suddenly are talking about little else.
As always, the Mariners need starting pitching, but Bavasi already made it clear he will not trade the players he considers his best prospects in exchange for pitching. Outfielder Adam Jones and catcher Jeff Clement will not be dealt, Bavasi said.
That may make it difficult for Seattle to get pitching, however, because there isn't much to be had at any price, and the price for tradable starters will be young talent.
Bavasi, with McLaren's backing, wants the organization's next step to be about bringing prospects Jones, Clement and pitcher Brandon Morrow to the forefront.
"We are at a point where we should be bringing in young kids who can make an imprint," Bavasi said in explaining his view of the future. "By that, we're talking about making it to the postseason."
The Mariners thought they were going to the postseason when they were 73-53 on Aug. 24. But after beating the Indians on Thursday, they are 12-21 since then.
Things got so bad during the slide of 13 losses in 14 games from Aug. 25-Sept. 8 that it seemed Bavasi and McLaren might be on the firing line. But while the playoffs went out the window, the club did rebound and will finish with a winning record.
"When all is said and done, we had a good year," McLaren said. "We got into the final week of the season in contention for the wild card. I think we've come a long way."
As has McLaren.
"I've grown with these guys," he said of taking the job after Mike Hargrove's surprising resignation July 1. "They know me. They trust me. I think we all have the same goal, which is to get the (World Series) ring."
The players seemed to be uniformly happy that McLaren and Bavasi are coming back.
Starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn said that under Bavasi's leadership, "things have gotten better and better."
"We didn't finish quite the way we wanted," Washburn said. "But we're in position now to have solidarity going into next season."
Outfielder Ichiro Suzuki said McLaren's return was something he'd hoped for when he signed a five-year contract extension midseason.
"When I think of my image for this team for next season," Ichiro said, "I think of Mac. Having him back seems like a natural progression, not just for myself but for the entire team."
The Mariners remain a work in progress; on that, everyone from Lincoln and Armstrong to Bavasi and McLaren to the players agrees.
"There's a lot of work to be done here," McLaren said. "It's something where we've got to get in and dig and do what's best for the club."
Lincoln said the club would not be scaling back its payroll, which was $113 million this year, ranking sixth or seventh in baseball, depending on whom is doing the calculating.

Names have always been the subject of magical thinking -- the ancient Romans buried lead tablets invoking the names of spirits, gods or the dead in order to curse their enemies, just as one example -- so maybe it shouldn't be too surprising that many people think uttering the name "James Holmes," like an unguarded mention of the name "Voldemort" in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, will cause bad things to happen.
Holmes, the suspected killer of 12 in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater last week, is the subject of a name-censoring campaign started by the family of one of his victims. As Times staff writer Molly Hennessy-Fiske reported recently, what started out with a simple tweet by Jordan Ghawi, brother of 24-year-old shooting victim Jessica Ghawi, has not only gone viral, it has found a sympathetic ear in the world's most powerful man -- President Obama declined to mention Holmes' name in a speech Sunday after meeting with Ghawi. Multiple politicians, media outlets and reporters, including CNN's Anderson Cooper, have also made a point of finding alternative ways to identify the accused killer.
The curse invoked by Holmes' name, according to some, will take the form of other mass shootings. Indiscriminate killers seem to crave fame and notoriety; take those away, the theory goes, and there will be no reason for troubled loners of the future to strap on weapons and shoot up the local post office/mall/campus/movie theater.

As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Simpson College Theatre Studies information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Simpson College.
Not all people working as actors in film, television, or theater are professionally trained. For example, Bob Hoskins didn't have any formal training before taking up acting. Universities may offer drama programs derived from the system of Constantine Stanislavski, which was popularized in America by Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler. Regardless of a school's approach, students should study human emotions, character interpretation, voice and dance.
While most modern theatre companies rehearse only one new piece of theatre at a time, and then perform that piece for a set run, retire the piece, repertory companies often rehearse multiple shows at once. Repertory theatre involves a group of accomplished actors, and relies more on the reputation of the group, rather than on an individual star performer. Further, actors who have worked together in several productions can respond to each other's nonverbal cues without relying as much on external direction or adherence to theatrical conventions. Beyond consideration for Simpson College talent search, you may think about St Lawrence University major list for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

They gave Sean Dillon a choice: life in prison or a suicide mission.
In the inky depths beneath Thunder Point, a diver discovers a priceless treasure: a German U-boat sunk in American waters three weeks after the end of the Second World War. Inside is final proof that Martin Bormann escaped Hitler's bunker and that he took with him the most explosive secrets of the Reich. Among them: the names of British Nazi sympathisers - some of them pillars of the establishment - and the devastating document known as the Windsor Protocol.
For the sake of national security, the U-boat must be destroyed. And no questions asked. Even if it means persuading Britain's most wanted IRA terrorist to take on the job. Sean Dillon, assassin, gun for hire, is about to be made an offer he cannot refuse....

Eating healthy and being active will give you the energy boost you need to stay alert and focused in school. Not sure where to start? Don't worry, chica, here are some ways to start leading a healthy and active lifestyle:
Eat breakfast
Having breakfast is better than having no breakfast because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Even if you are super busy or rushed, there are plenty of options to choose from. Some breakfast ideas include having a fiber packed bowl of oatmeal. You can top it with nuts or even try them with yogurt, too. Want a faster option? Try peanut butter on a piece of toast. Try saving those yummy pan dulces for the weekend. Kidshealth.org explains that foods with high calories, such as pastries or doughnuts, won't keep you full or provide you the necessary nutrients needed to stay energized.
Read nutrition labels
Reading nutrition labels are a great way to know what you put in your body. Foods with a good source of a nutrient has a percent daily value between 10% and 19%. If the food has 20% or more of the daily value, it is considered an excellent source of that nutrient. If you need help determining which foods are better for you, ask a parent or nutritionist.
Pack a healthy lunch and snacks
Ask your parents to help you pack a nutritious lunch such as dried fruit, sandwiches, or a hummus with whole grain pita. Or if you prefer eating in the cafeteria there are ways to pick out better for you foods, that will surely avoid the sluggish after meal feeling you may be used to. You can even bring an orange on the go to enjoy or even save for your recess break. Wake up your senses by sniffing that vitamin c fueled fruit for an even better effect.
Did you know?
- The color of the rice matters. Pick rice and breads that are brown in color. This usually means that it has whole grains which are great for your body.
- Other foods like bananas, cherries, whole dairy products, pizza, and creamy gravies or sauces can make you feel heavy and exhausted too.
- It's always important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. So bring a bottle or two to keep in your backpack to stay hydrated and alert.
Another great way to stay enthusiastically energized at school is staying active. Running, jump roping, dancing …. anything that keeps you active is good for your heart and energy. The exercise releases endorphins, which gives you that happy/energetic feeling. Having a good night's sleep, nutritious meals, and staying active are great ways to remain energetic and feel empowered for your education.

Weapons smuggling
A man held liable for the Omagh bombing should not be extradited to Lithuania to face weapons smuggling charges, a judge in Belfast ruled yesterday.
Mr Justice Burgess refused to order Liam Campbell's transfer because he was likely to be held in inhuman and degrading conditions.
Campbell (49), Upper Faughart, Dundalk, is wanted in the Baltic state over allegations he was part of an operation to acquire guns, ammunition and explosives from there and ship them into Ireland for dissident republicans.
Campbell remains in custody pending a bail application which could take place this week.

Pro 5060F Demo not for resale
The nature of today's network security threats has evolved. While basic L2-4 firewall functionality is still a mandatory element of network security, new breeds of dynamic attacks are wreaking more havoc than ever before. Not only can these attacks render a traditional firewall useless, they also require a constantly updated attack database that guarantees protection. And, they absolutely must have a hardware platform that can withstand the rigors of real-time intrusion prevention while maintaining strong levels of performance.
The SonicWALL PRO 5060, part of SonicWALL's PRO Series Internet Security Platform, is a high-performance, multi-service gigabit network security platform that protects users and critical network resources from the dynamic, sophisticated threats that put today's data-intensive networks at risk. The PRO 5060 integrates high-speed gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, content filtering and anti-spam capabilities along with advanced wireless LAN features, stateful inspection firewall and IPSec VPN into a single solution that is easy to deploy and manage. Available in both 10/100/1000 copper and copper/fiber interface versions, the PRO 5060 incorporates a wide array of networking and security features, making it the ideal solution for a multitude of applications.
In addition to gigabit stateful inspection performance, the PRO 5060 ships with SonicOS Enhanced, enabling business continuity and flexibility features such as ISP failover, WAN redundancy and load balancing, object and policy-based management and more. The PRO 5060 also comes standard with 2,000 Global VPN Client licenses, ViewPoint reporting software, one year of Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, 30 days of Content Filtering Service and gateway- enforced Network Anti-virus and 90 days of SonicWALL support. With SonicWALL's PRO 5060, get the performance you want and the protection you need.
Real-Time Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention. The PRO 5060 extends security from the network core to the perimeter by integrating support for SonicWALL's Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, delivering real-time protection against the latest blended threats, including viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, software vulnerabilities and other malicious code.
802.1q Virtual LANs. The PRO 5060 provides support for 802.1q VLANs using virtual interfaces with VLAN ID tag assignments. Virtual interfaces provide many of the same features as physical interfaces, including zone assignment, DHCP Server, and NAT and Access Rule controls.
Real-Time Blacklist Spam Filtering. The PRO 5060 provides the ability to use DNS to query Real-Time Black List (RBL) services that track well-known spam and open-relay SMTP servers, and to deny SMTP connections from servers that appear on the lists.
Dynamic RIP and OSPF Routing. The PRO 5060 provides full support for OSPF (Open Shortest First Path) and RIP (Router Information Protocol) dynamic routing protocols.
Powerful Content Filtering. The PRO 5060 supports SonicWALL's Content Filtering Service, providing an enterprise- class, scalable content filtering service that enhances productivity and security without requiring additional server or deployment costs.
Deep Packet Inspection Firewall. The PRO 5060 features a configurable, high performance deep packet inspection firewall for extended protection to key Internet services such as Web, e-mail, file transfer, Windows services, and DNS.
Integrated Wireless LAN Services.

ISP Failover and Load Balancing. The PRO 5060 offers the ability to designate one of the user-assigned ports as a secondary WAN port that can be used in both "active-active" and" active-passive" failover configuration, providing a highly efficient method for distributing or load sharing outbound WAN traffic.
Multiple Interfaces per Security Zone. Network administrators can group multiple physical interfaces on the PRO 5060 into logical "zones" for ease of management and flexibility. This provides tremendous flexibility, scalability and added internal security when deploying SonicWALL firewalls in various network topologies.
Object/Policy-based Management. The PRO 5060 provides the ability to define an object such as a user group, network, service or interface. When security policies change, the administrator can modify the pre-defined object and propagate the changes instantly without redefining rules. This enables businesses to implement and manage security policies easily and consistently.
Policy-based NAT. In addition to NAT (many-to-one) functionality, the PRO 5060 exposes control of NAT policies to administrators for one-to-one NAT, many-to-many NAT, one-to- many NAT, inbound Port Address Translation (PAT), flexible NAT (for overlapping IP addresses), as well as NAT policies on selective source/destination/source translations. The result is greater control and flexibility to support and manage various NAT requirements.
Comprehensive Central Management Support. Every SonicWALL Internet security appliance can be managed using SonicWALL's award-winning Global Management System, which provides network administrators with the tools for simplified configuration, enforcement and management of global security policies, VPN, and services, all from a central location.

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that can destroy and weaken plants by using their piercing sucking mouthparts to feed on sap from leaves, stems and fruits. Depending on species and food source, they can be black, red, brown, yellow or green. Commonly, adult aphids are wingless but still some of them can grow wings especially when their population gets high.
Aphids have pear-shaped bodies with long antennae; adult and nymphs aphids look similar. Most of them have two tiny short tubes known as cornicles bulging from their back end.
As they feed on plant sap, they produce large amounts of sugary fluid waste known as "honeydew". The honeydew produced by these insects can cover the gaps of the affected plant. A fungus known as "sooty mold" can be formed in the honeydew that multiplies on the branches and leaves, making them all black.
Life Cycle
During spring, an egg hatches, producing a wingless female aphid and soon give birth to many new wingless female nymphs. A female young nymph grows and increase in size and after a week, they give birth to another more nymphs. This process goes repetitively and will result to a large number of population. As their colony get crowded, some of the female aphids develop wings and fly off to another plants to build another colonies. Male Aphids develop during the late summer and early fall which mate with the female aphids and start laying eggs in the next winter. Generally, most aphids, except for the sexual forms, do not require to mate in order to reproduce. They give live birth to baby aphids, rather than eggs
Adults and nymphs aphids feed on plant sap, attacking mainly the stems, leaves, flowers and even the roots. The damage created by these insects is caused by the clogging of the plant's leaves with honeydew, the loss of plant's sap and the presence of fungi and molds on their honeydew.
Below are the indications that aphids are attacking and are slowly creating damage to your plants:
- Leaves start to look deformed, curled, stunted and turns yellow.
- Aphids may have been sipping sap if the leaves or the plant's stem are shielded with a sticky fluid. This sticky fluid is known as "honeydew" which can attract more insects, contributing more damage to your plant. Commonly, when aphids feed on trees, the sticky fluid they produce can drop onto cars, driveways and outdoor furniture.
- Flowers and fruits of your plant get distorted when aphids start to feed on them.
- Some aphid species cause galls to form on roots or leaves.
- Viruses may be transmitted to other plants by aphids.
- Branches and leaves of your plant will turn into black caused by a fungal growth that is developed in their honeydew.
Different Ways to Get Rid of Aphids
Below are the suggested solutions from wikiHow to mitigate the damage caused by Spider Mites
- Make Organic Aphid Sprays. Create an aphid spray using a mild detergent and water, or make a soapy garden spray. You could also try the more garlic and onion version here. Spray every two to three days over a period of a week – you must spray the aphids directly for this to be effective. You can also use garlic spray as an effective aphid controller.
- Consider using neem oil mixed with water. Or, add neem oil with OHN (garlic + ginger + molasses). Dilute the ingredients in water and spray directly below the leaves (where aphids hide). Spray repeatedly 3 times per week for a plant with serious aphid damage.
- Squash them. Provided you don't mind quite a bit of patrolling and squishing, you can be very effective at reducing the aphid population by manually squashing them. This is labour intensive and likely you will miss some, but combined with organic sprays, this can be very effective. Wash your hands well with soap after each session, or wear garden gloves.
- Companion plant. Plant your favorite roses or other aphid-attracting plants alongside aphid-discouraging plants. Aphids dislike garlic, chives, onions, mint, and petunias. Aphids love nasturtiums. Roses grown with garlic plants or chives are much less prone to aphid attacks and both have a beautiful flower of their own during flowering season.
- Release ladybirds. Ladybirds (ladybugs) feast on aphids. You can purchase the larvae in packs online or from specialist nurseries. Follow the release instructions carefully – they should be released right near the food (the aphids) and must never be released in an area that has been sprayed with pesticides.
- Blast them with the hose. Depending on how sensitive your plant is and your water usage restrictions, you can blast aphids off the plant with the jet stream of a hose.
- Try flour. Sprinkle flour over the aphids using a sieve or flour sifter. The flour will coat the aphids and they will drop off.
- Dig banana peel into the ground. Cut-up banana peels or use dried banana pieces for this. Dig the cut-up peel or dried pieces 2.5–5 centimeter (2.0 in) / 1–2″ into the ground around the base of every plant that aphids are attracted to. The aphids will soon be gone.

In 2003 Martin Banham, in his review of Frances Harding's The Performance Arts in Africa: A Reader, proclaimed that: 'The study of African theatre and performance has now firmly established itself throughout the academic world'. The truth of this statement is attested to by the numerous anthologies and books written about African theatre and performance within the first few years of the 21st century.
But what really is the place of African performance; theatre, dance, music and film, within the academy? What is the relationship between the 'academic world' and African theatre and performance? What, or whose purposes do our curriculums serve? How do our scholarship and theatre and performance practices intersect? What is the state of performing arts education in Africa and its Diaspora? What is taught/and not taught about African theatre and performance in different parts of the world? What of the question of language in African theatre and performance scholarship? The barriers of indigenous languages and divisions of Lusophone, Francophone and Anglophone.
These and other related questions generated by the sub-themes listed below are the focus of the 8th African Theatre Association's (AfTA) annual conference to be hosted by the School of Performing Arts, University of Ghana, Accra, July 9th -12, 2014.
We welcome abstracts for papers, of up to 250 words on any aspect of the theme and sub-themes. We also encourage proposals for performed presentations, workshops, film screenings and exhibitions/installations.
Please send abstracts/proposals in a word document as an attachment to the emails of the conveners.

I love my Swiffer sweeper. I have many, many hardwood floors to keep clean and Swiffers are a quick way to dust. What I don't love is the price of the disposable cloths that I need to continue to buy; they are expensive. So I knit myself the cover that the blogger in the above link recommended (actually I knit three of them).
Do I like them? I DO! A LOT!!! They picked up a great deal of dust from my hardwood floors. I like that I can shake them off and launder them and I really, really like that they are inexpensive to make. Actually, they were almost free for me to make because I had a huge cone of cotton yarn sitting in the cupboard in my sewing room. I think I bought it to make dishcloths years ago. I have been using it as string for I don't know how long, so it was nice to have a use for some of it.
I did my knitting in the car while my husband was driving so I made three covers. They knit up very quickly. Since I used 100% cotton yarn, I washed my covers in hot water before sewing them at the ends and testing if they fit the Swiffer, just in case they shrunk and I couldn't get them over my Swiffer. They did shrink but not significantly. In fact, I sewed my ends over 2 1/2 " instead of the 2" overhang that the pattern suggested.15" was more than sufficient width for my Swiffer, but then I have owned it since they came out with them, so maybe the newer ones are not as wide.
I used a neat and tight back stitch to stitch the end pockets.
Here's what my seam using the back stitch looks like on my Swiffer cover.

HILLVIEW – Councilmembers may opt to make the mayor's seat a full-time position when the next term begins in January 2015.
But, in reality, all they can do is change the rate of compensation.
Citing the size of the city and the amount of work which must be done, councilmembers talked in March about the need to make the mayor's position a full-time office.
However, city attorney Mark Edison said that while they may want the next person to work full-time hours, there is no way they can regulate how many hours that person might work.

The treatment of the shadow that develops under the eyes has become one of my favourite areas to treat. Many of my clients do not realise it is even possible until they have had a detailed consultation.
Manchester (PRWEB UK) 28 March 2014
The eyes are said to be the most expressive and attractive part of the face, but the delicate skin in the area is often the first to show signs of ageing.
While many non-surgical treatment practitioners shy away from this area, Dr Tim Pearce, founder and Clinical Director of SkinViva has developed his own unique method of rejuvenating the eye area by tackling the signs of tiredness such as under eye shadows or hollows, tired eyes, dark circles and tear troughs.
The under eye line develops as volume loss occurs in the face, often along with smile lines or the nose to mouth lines. The skin is delicate and thin and the fine dynamic facial muscles are in constant use as the eyes focus; with continuous movement as a range of emotions are communicated.
SkinViva's Tear Trough Anti-Ageing Treatment involves careful and highly precise use of the very latest injectable facial filler products to sculpt and smooth the hollows and dark circles that can appear around the eye. The process demands exacting skill and a particularly delicate touch, but results are instantaneous and highly effective.
Dr Tim Pearce MB ChB BSc (Hons) MRCGP explains more:
"One of the best things about this treatment is the natural looking results it delivers and how it instantly makes patients look less tired and generally fresher."
"The treatment of the shadow that develops under the eyes has become one of my favourite areas to treat. Many of my clients do not realise it is even possible until they have had a detailed consultation."
SkinViva's doctors use the very latest Juvéderm® fillers. Based on a formula of hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin but depletes over time, these fillers retain water to add volume back into ageing skin. Dr Tim Pearce favours Juvéderm® VOLBELLA®, which has a ground-breaking formulation which means a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid than other dermal fillers can deliver same effect. The product is an ultra-smooth gel known for a more natural look with minimal bruising and swelling perfect for the eye area.
Juvéderm® VOLBELLA is a temporary filler which has an estimated duration of 12-15 months. However, results in the eye area are longer-lasting.
Dr Tim Pearce continues:
"Because there is so little movement in the area, the treatment can last a very long time. I generally advise up to 2 years, but one of the first treatments I did has not needed a touch up in 5 years!"
A further appeal of the Juvéderm® range is the inclusion of Lidocaine local anaesthetic for a comfortable experience even in the sensitive eye area, especially when used with Dr Pearce's Tear Trough injection techniques.
Dr Tim Pearce concludes:
"The eye area is the most delicate area of the face to inject, yet clients often comment on how slowly and gently the injections are applied - it's very different to your last flu vaccination! This aspect of the injection makes it surprisingly comfortable to inject, with many clients reporting that it is a completely painless experience."
"However, the tear trough area does require advanced technique. If you are researching this area, be very sure that you only see an expert, it is not an area to trust to the novice or occasional injector."
At SkinViva, all cosmetic injections are carried out by experienced Aesthetic Doctors who have undergone specific training in non-surgical treatments. The team of Aesthetic Doctors practice in under the watchful eye of Dr Tim Pearce MB ChB BSc (Hons) MRCGP in a network of over 85 skin treatment clinic locations over the North West of England, including Cheshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire; in addition to their own flagship clinic based in the Castlefield area of Manchester.
SkinViva was established in 2008 and have an excellent reputation for delivering excellent results and high patient satisfaction through their professional skin treatments. Popular skin treatments include wrinkle-relaxing injections, dermal fillers, micro-needling and skin peels.

Old Bushmills Distillery Reviews
1733 reviews
Great Irish Tradition Jun 10, 2011
I had been studying during the evening before what to see in Northern Ireland and I quickly ended up with Giant's Causeway and the Bushmills distillery because they were two grewt spots but also situated almost next to each other. The Old Bushmills distillery is universally acknowledged as the oldest licensed distillery in the world. It is thought that distilling may have begun on the site as early as the thirteenth century.
Records have shown that whiskey was distilled, and consumed, much earlier than 1608 when James I granted the initial license to Sir Thomas Phillips, a local landowner. Other stories state amongst others that Sir Robert Savage, landlord of the town of Bushmills, was known to have fortified his troops with "aqua vitae" (whiskey?) in 1276. And the Book of Leinster accounts a feast in the town of Bushmills in 1490 where the local spirit helped to "down the food."
The Bushmills distillery is located on the edge of the town of Bushmills in Country Antrim, and the distillery is the first thing you see when you enter the town from the Belfast direction. I took me just under one hour's drive from Belfast even though Norman had suggested to me that it would take me a lot longer. Hiding its antiquity, Old Bushmills is markedly of Victorian-Speyside in design a result of its rebuilding after a devastating fire in 1885.
The position for the distillery was especially well suited, standing on the banks of St Columb's Rill, a local stream, that flows over peaty ground and into the River Bush, and which still provides the distillery with its fresh water supplies today.
In 1783 the distillery became the Old Bushmills Co. However local competition from legal and illegal distillers made trade difficult resulting in Bushmills to close and re-opened several times. The distillery was revived under the ownership of Samuel Boyd at some point in the 1880s. The distillery remained in the Boyd family until the late 1940s, when it moved from being a family concern through a succession of larger, corporate buyers, first by Bass Charrington and after that Seagrams; eventually it joined the Irish Distillers Group in 1972.
In 1988 Irish Distillers was the subject of a hard fought take-over battle between British giant Grand Metropolitan and French rival Pernod Ricard, of which the latter won. Irish Distillers own two distilleries, Bushmills and the modern Midleton complex near Cork. The whiskies produced go into Irish blends such as Jameson, Original Bushmills, Black Bush, Powers, Paddy and Tullamore Dew. The distilleries also produce Irish single malts such as Bushmills Malt, and Redbreast,
What is remarkable for a distillery is that the Bushmills Distillery has survived nearly 400 years. The distillery marked its Quad-century year in 2008. Throughout the years it has endured fires, wars, U.S. Prohibition, and punitive duties and taxes by governments wanting their share. The distillery is the only operating whiskey distillery left in Northern Ireland.
There were 23 active distilleries in Ireland in 1920, (134 in Scotland) this was reduced to three by the start of the 1950's. The Comber distillery closed in 1953, and the Coleraine distillery stopped distilling malt whiskey in the mid-1960s, and closed down completely in 1978.
Bushmills is triple distilled whiskey. There are three labels - regular "Old Bushmills". - A deluxe blend partner "Black Bush" and a "Bushmills Malt", launched in the mid 1980s. Bushmills Malt is available in 3 ages 10, 16 and 21 year old.
I didn't do the tour because when I arrived there I was not really sure of the weather and I didn't want to wander the Giant's Causeway in the rain. I therefore only entered the visitors' center and the shop where I bought a bottle of the Bushmills that only can be bought at the factory. I also bought a small bottle to Jamal whom I was to meet later that day in Dublin.
"It's not because the distillery is old that the whiskey is good... but rather it's because the whiskey is good that the distillery is old"

The home of Irish Malt Whiskey, the Old Bushmills Distillery is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world making whiskey since 1608. Single Malt Whiskies such as Bushmills and Black Bush are produced here and guided whiskey tours are available.
Whiskey the 'uisce beatha' – water of life in Gaelic has been distilled here at Bushmills since the 13th Century. But it was 1608 when the area was granted an official license by King James I to distil whiskey and has been making the finest Irish Malt Whiskey here for nearly 400 years.
Whiskies from 'Old Bushmills' are famed for their warm, distinctive taste and the art and craft of distilling them, which has been handed down for generations. All this can be experienced on a tour through the working distillery. The tour takes you through the processes from the water of the springs of St. Columb's Rill, the malting of Irish barley, its triple distillation in copper stills and its maturing in oak casks and of course the tour ends with a sample of one of the distillery's famous, Bushmills whiskies.
I went with a group from the over 50 club 'Cumann Cairdeas' from Donegal. We took the full tour, the film and most importantly the whiskey tasting session. It was brilliant and thank goodness someone else (the coach driver) was behind the wheel. I think I tasted 7 different whiskeys and bought a bottle of the 10 year old. Mmmmmmmm lovely but all I have now is the memory. Even if you don't like whiskey or don't drink it is fascinating and the distillery buildings themselves are amazing.
Getting there is fairly easy, buses brom Belfast and Derry, its well signposted and on the route to the Giants Causeway, but go the causeway first, cliffs, sheer drops into the sea and climbing don't sit too well with multiple shots of malt whiskey. - Be warned!

The work of artist Mario Zoots is incredibly creative, sexual and wonderfully weird. I've seen plenty of different collages but none quite as enticing as this series.
Each print appears collaged from a variety of images from a vintage Playboy magazine. Even though the outline is playful and naughty, when you focus on the entire picture, you'll realize that these prints are more art than erotica. Be sure to check out the gallery for more images from Mario Zoots.
