Top 5 Ways UNJURY® Is Great for Seniors*
More than 1 in 4 Seniors don't get enough protein, according to long term clinical studies. Why? Sometimes you're just not hungry, or you're avoiding red meat, eggs, cheese. They are good sources of protein -- but they have fat and cholesterol.
The results can include weakness, tiredness, low energy, weaker immune system, reduced mental sharpness, and more. When not enough protein is consumed, the body takes protein away from your muscles, including heart muscle, to get the protein it needs.
UNJURY can help! It's highly-concentrated, high quality protein, that tastes great and is easy to use. Each serving has 20 grams of protein, as much high quality protein as 3 eggs -- without the fat and cholesterol.
A Great Tasting Protein Most lower quality protein shakes use whey protein concentrate; UNJURY uses only whey protein isolate. Not only do you get more protein and less lactose (milk sugar) -- you get an amazingly great taste. Create a great tasting protein shake, a fresh cold protein smoothie or add quality protein to your own recipes. Read more about UNJURY protein and its flavors below:

Champon (ちゃんぽん Chanpon?), also known as Chanpon, is a noodle dish that is a regional cuisine of Nagasaki, Japan. Due to the inspiration from Chinese cuisine, it is also a form of Japanese Chinese cuisine. Champon is made by frying pork, seafood and vegetables with lard; a soup made with chicken and pig bones is added. Ramen noodles made especially for champon are added and then boiled. Unlike other ramen dishes, only one pan is needed as the noodles are boiled in the soup. Depending on the season and the situation, the ingredients differ. Hence the taste and style may depend on the location and time of year.
Champon was first served by Shikairō (四海楼?), a Chinese restaurant in Nagasaki. According to the restaurant, it was based on a dish in Fujian cuisine, tonniishiimen (湯肉絲麵?)[1] In the middle of Meiji period, the owner saw a need for a cheap, but filling, meal that suited the palates of hundreds of Chinese students who came to Japan for schooling opportunities. Nowadays, champon is a popular specialty food (or meibutsu) of Nagasaki.
|Look up champon or ちゃんぽん in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The word champon may also be used for many kinds of random acts where things are mixed. It can also be used to describe the practice of mixing different types of alcohol on a single occasion.[relevant? ]

Episode #49
Pre and postgame tailgate action at the Raiders game on November 22, 2009.
Before the game, Raider Greg stumbled upon a large group of Bengals fans who were very confident that their team would defeat the Raiders on this day. We told them we would be back after the game, and they said "please do".
After the Raiders won the game 20 - 17, we returned to the same spot, but only found two Bengals fans there.....still a little shocked at the outcome of the game.
We also shared in the postgame Raiders celebration with Crusader Raider from London England, who was enjoying his first Raiders victory in 4 years. We also spoke with Raider Superfans Raider Jerry and Tuzak.

Top Food Baby Names
Has pregnancy hunger got you dreaming of delicious food baby names for your kid? You're not alone. In fact, even celebrity moms and dads are jumping on the food baby name bandwagon (or shopping cart)! You can slog through your favorite cookbook (or tabloid!) for name-spiration, or better yet, check out this list of wonderful and weird baby names inspired by food!
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin either began the naming-kids-after-food trend, or their choice of Apple for their daughter was simply a symptom of this (yummy) rising trend. If they name any subsequent kids Cinnamon, Cherry, Lemon or other delicious names on this list, they could totally open their own pie shop!
Gwyneth dresses Apple in the cutest outfits!
Name your daughter Pepper if you're hoping she'll add spice and flavor to your life. If you have a second kid, name her Salt and they'll be all set for a career in hip-hop. ("Push it real good!")
Comedic stars Sascha Baron Cohen of Borat and Wedding Crashers' Isla Fischer must have hit the salad bar a ton of times when expecting their daughter. Maybe that's why they named her Olive?
Check out Isla gushing about what a great daddy Sacha is (aww).
Although the name Margarita may conjure up images of frozen drinks with salt on the rim, this Latin form of Margaret actually means "pearl."
Supermodels must eat healthfully to maintain their awesome figures, so all that time in the produce aisle must have influenced Claudia Schiffer's name choice of Clementine, which is a small seedless orange. You might also remember this name from the mind-numbing song Oh My Darling Clementine. (Sorry if we got that stuck in your head now!)
Check out Claudia Schiffer's runway-savvy maternity style
Sweet, rosy and covered in soft down–it's easy to see why parents would pick Peaches as a term of endearment for their baby. But maybe Bob Geldof should've thought twice about putting this fruity name on his daughter's birth certificate!
Reuben is a classic Hebrew first name. It's also the name of a delicious sandwich made with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on toasted rye bread. Legend has it that a New York Deli owner created this sandwich for Charlie Chaplin. (Charlie's another cute baby name, but nowhere near as tasty sounding!)
You say "BAY-zul," I say "BAZ-il," let's call the whole thing off. Wait, this food-related baby name actually rocks! In fact, the herbal name of Basil was super-popular for boys in the early 1900s, which means it's retro-cool and due to make a comeback.
The name Coco isn't just chocolatey sweet, it's chic! The name is shared by legendary designer Coco Chanel and Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette's daughter.
Check out more mommy photos of Courtney and Coco!
Although the name Kale may most often be associated with the leafy green vegetable you wish your kids would eat, it's also a boys' name of Irish origins.
Lost's Josh Holloway and wife Yessica Kumala must have known that they'd be drinking A LOT of coffee as new parents when they chose the caffeinated name Java for their daughter.
Check out Josh picking up Pampers for his little Java.
Often a nickname for the girl's name Candace, the name Candy on its own sure is sweet. It also lends itself to some pretty sweet nicknames you can give your little darling, like "Baby Ruth," "Sugar Baby" and other labels encountered when trick or treating.
Sage is not only a fragrant herb that goes well with roast chicken, it's a classic unisex name and the one
Australian actress Toni Collette and musician husband Dave Galafassi chose for their daughter.
This name is straight outta the liquor cabinet–it's an alcoholic beverage made from distilled wine. Brandy peaked in popularity in the late 1960s/early 1970s (but the most popular type of brandy—Cognac–never caught on as a first name).
In the United Kingdom, redheads are often called gingers, from the ginger root's pinkish hue. That's how "Ginger Spice" Geri Halliwell got her Spice Girl name. Though she herself had a foodie stage name, she chose a floral name for her daughter Bluebell.
Check out Geri Halliwell's always-great hot-mama style!
Duran Duran front man Simon Le Bon and his model wife Yasmine named their daughter Saffron, one of the most expensive spices in the world.
Country-music singer Josh Turner gave his baby son this cheesy name. And that's not negative criticism: Colby is a mild yellow cheese similar to cheddar that tastes delicious on pretty much everything!
Feeling this tart and tangy fruit name? 'Cause whether you're a celebrity like actress Cherry Jones or just a regular happy mom or dad, a new baby daughter sure can feel like the Cherry on top of this big bowl of ice cream called life!
This classic girl's name is also the name for a shell-shaped French butter cookie. Its various spellings are also a popular choice amongst celebrity parents–Jon Favreau, David Duchovny and Téa ;a Leoni, even the King and Queen of Sweden chose Madeleine for their daughters.
Madelaine Duchovny sure inherited her parents' celebrity looks!
Cinnamon's a dessert-friendly spice but it also makes for an original foodie first name! (But then again, maybe we've been watching just a little too much Blue's Clues: Cinnamon is the name of Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper's second baby. The first is Paprika!)
Celebrity mom Tina Fey's daughter is named Alice, but her character Liz Lemon on 30 Rock is making Lemon a juicy trend for two reasons: Lemon fruit names and last-names-as-first-names are both very hot right now.
Honey's not just a name you call your partner when you need a back rub or the bathroom painted. It's a name plucked right from the pantry and it's rising in popularity. Actress Kate Winslet and Naked Chef Jamie Oliver both chose Honey as their daughters' middle names.
Hungry? We're starved! Go get something to eat and then check out more celebrity baby photos at CelebrityBabyScoop.com or more yummy baby names here on Baby Names World!

Energy Saving Tips
The energy we use in our homes is responsible for one quarter of the carbon emissions in the UK - and that's a lot of emissions. Of course, few of us can wipe out our carbon footprint completely, but we can all make our homes more energy efficient. It not only helps save the planet, it can save money, too.
How to insulate your home
Many of the properties in the UK lose heat through poor insulation or draughty windows. Let's start at the top of the house. If there is no insulation, a quarter of the heat in your home will seep out through the roof. So why not insulate the loft?
It doesn't have to cost much - probably between £100 and £350 - but it could cut your energy bills by up to £175 a year, according to the Energy Saving Trust. In other words, it would pay for itself after two years.
If your loft is already insulated, it's worth checking that the insulation is adequate. To enjoy the maximum benefit, experts recommend loft insulation that is 270mm thick.
Heat can also seep through the walls of your home. Most houses in the UK have either cavity or solid walls. If your home was built after the 1920s, it is most likely to have cavity walls. A cavity wall is actually two walls, with a gap or cavity in between. And if you insulate the gap, you can help to keep the heat in the house.
Cavity wall insulation can cost up to £350 to install, but it could reduce your annual energy bill by £135 a year. And you may even be able to get if for free. The major energy firms often have offers on for free or discounted cavity wall and loft insulation so look out for those.
Free insulation is also available for low income households and the elderly. Your energy provider should be able to tell you whether you qualify.
Homes with solid walls are a bit trickier - and pricier - to insulate. For example, if you were to tackle a three bedroom house, you could pay up to £13,000 for solid wall insulation. The annual saving could amount to £475, but it could still take more than 25 years to recoup the cost.
You wouldn't think you could lose heat through the floor of your home, but if you insulate under the floorboards you could save about £60 a year. Floor insulation costs about £100 if you do it yourself. A professional could charge up to £800.
Don't forget to lag the water tank to lock in the heat. A British Standard jacket should be at least 75mm thick and costs about £15, but it could reduce heat loss from the water tank by more than 75% - and knock about £40 year of your fuel bill.
It's also fairly easy to insulate the pipes in your home. You can buy pipe insulation from the local DIY store for as little as £10, which is less than the annual saving of £15.
Stop the draughts
If your home is very draughty, you are undoubtedly wasting heat - and money. But there are several cheap and easy ways to draught proof your property.
For example, you can buy draught proofing strips to stick around the window frames. You can also seal any gaps in the outside doors by fitting a keyhole cover, a letterbox flap or brush and a draught excluder at the bottom of the door.
Heat can escape through the gaps between the floors and skirting boards. Most DIY stores stock sealant to plug the gaps. Just make sure you don't block any air vents or your floorboards could rot.
Chimneys also let in the draughts. So if you don't use your fire, you could fit a cap over the chimney pot, or buy a chimney balloon that inflates to fill the gap.
Energy efficient glazing
If your windows are particularly old and draughty, you might want to consider installing double glazing. It will not only make your home more comfortable, but also more energy efficient. And that's not all. Double glazing could reduce your energy bill by about £150 a year, although the savings will vary depending on the type of windows in your property and the size of your house.
You can find out more information on the website of the Glass and Glazing Federation (www.ggf.org.uk).
Don't forget that if you live in a conservation area or a listed property, you will have to be careful that any alterations to your home comply with the appropriate planning rules.
Energy saving grants
If you are planning to make any energy saving improvements to your home, you could be eligible for a grant to help fund the cost.
The Warm Front scheme, for example, is available to people on certain income-related benefits, such as Pension Credit, who live in a property that is poorly insulated. You can also qualify if your home does not have central heating. Grants of up to £6,000 are available for improvements including loft and cavity wall insulation.
But restrictions apply - and if the work costs more than the grant, you would have to make up the difference yourself.
The Warm Front scheme is only available in England. Northern Ireland has its own scheme, known as Warm Homes. North of the English border there is the Home Energy Efficiency Programmes for Scotland, or HEEPS, and Nyth/Nest or Arbed in Wales.
Many local authorities offer grants to residents who make energy saving improvements to their home. You can find more details of the financial assistance in your area on the website of the Energy Saving Trust.
The government introduced the Green Deal in 2012 as a way to encourage people to make their homes more energy efficient. It is not a government grant, but a type of loan, so that consumers will not have to pay anything up front for energy-saving measures they install.
Borrowers will have to pay interest on the loan, but the so-called Golden Rule states that you should never have to pay back more than you save on your energy bills each month. The loan is also attached to your home and not you as an individual. So, if you move house, the new owner will take on the deal.
Easy ways to save money
You don't have to go to great expense to make your home more energy efficient. There are lots of cheap and easy ways to cut your fuel consumption - and your energy bills.
- A shower if usually more energy efficient than a bath, though it depends on the type of shower - and how long you spend in there. For example, if you stand for 20 minutes under a power shower, you might as well soak in the bath.
- Fill up your dishwasher before you turn it on - and don't run your washing machine with half a load.
- Kettles use a lot of electricity. But if you only boil the water you actually use, you could save around £7 a year on energy bills.
- If you are boiling water in a pan, put the lid on. You'll be surprised how much quicker it reaches boiling point.
- Turn off the tap while you are shaving or brushing your teeth as a running tap wastes more than six litres of water a minute. You should also try not to leave the hot tap running when you wash up. And if you have a dripping tap - fix it, or pour 5,500 litres of water down the drain a year.
- Most of us live in homes that are far too hot. If you turn the temperature down by just one degree, you could save about £55 a year - and you probably won't even feel any colder.
- The lights in your home typically account for about 20% of the electricity bill. A simple way to cut the cost is to fit energy saving light bulbs. If you swap one 40W traditional bulb with an 8W low energy bulb, you can save about £5 a year. The savings jump to £10 a year if you replace a 100W standard bulb with a 15W energy efficient version. It doesn't sound much, but if you replace all the bulbs in your home the savings can add up surprisingly quickly.
- Remember, too, that low-energy light bulbs can last ten years or more, compared with a one-year lifespan for a traditional bulb.
- Traditional light bulbs are now being phased out across Britain and the rest of Europe. The price of energy-efficient light bulbs has also come down and they now cost about £1.
- Most of us are guilty of leaving our appliances on standby overnight. But it's a habit we should break. The annual standby costs of a DVD recorder, for example, could be as much as £15, according to Which? And you could save more than £70 a year if you switched off all your electrical equipment when not in use.
If you are liable to leave your electricals on standby when you are asleep, why not invest in a device to turn them all off with one switch. They are simple to fit and widely available on the internet. Or you can buy a special plug that automatically turns off any electrical appliances that are left on standby for long periods.
Monitor your energy consumption
Most of us have no idea how much energy we consume every day, so it's difficult to see how we could make savings. But an energy monitor can help. Energy monitors are clever little gizmos that display your electricity consumption and the cost per hour.
Some will even beep when you reach a certain reading. They are a great way to track down the energy guzzling appliances in your home. Most people also find that an energy monitor triggers energy saving, with a typical saving of between 5% and 15% in the first year. Prices for energy monitors start at about £30.
Some utility companies will carry out a home energy check. Or you can complete an online check-up at the website of the Energy Saving Trust.
Generate your own power
If you are a real eco warrior, you might want to consider generating your own power. So-called micro generation could help you to cut your carbon emissions because you will be less dependent on fossil fuels.
You should also see a drop in the size of your energy bills. You might even be able to sell any surplus energy back to your utility company to make a profit.
Solar panels
There are various different ways to generate your own power. Solar panels, also known as solar photovoltaics, are one of the most popular. The photovoltaic cells basically convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used to heat and light your home.
It typically costs about £10,000 to install solar panels, though you should compare quotes from different firms to get the best price.
You will also find that panels that are built into the roof are more expansive than panels that sit on top. Solar tiles are more expensive still.
But there are savings to be made. The average 3kWp system can generate more than 2500 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, or about three quarters of the typical household electricity consumption.
You can also use solar panels, called collectors, to heat up water in a cylinder, as long as you have a sunny place to put the panels and a cylinder to store the water. You will probably also need a compatible boiler or immersion heater to top up the temperature of the water.
It costs about £5,000 to install a typical solar water heating system and the savings are not always as satisfying. You might be able to get most of your hot water from the solar panels during the summer months, but they are unlikely to heat up the water to a high enough temperature during the colder weather.
Typical savings are about £55 a year if you previously used gas to heat your water. You could save up to £80 a year if you replace electric immersion heating with collectors.
Wind turbines
Giant wind turbines are now a familiar feature of the landscape, but did you know that you can also fit small-scale turbines for domestic use? Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to generate electricity and there are two types of domestic turbine: pole mounted and building mounted.
It is much cheaper to install a turbine on the roof of your home - about £2,000. If you choose a pole mounted turbine you could pay more than £20,000. But building-mounted turbines tend to produce less electricity.
The Energy Saving Trust calculates that a large pole mounted turbine could generate around 10,000kWh per year. If you could earn money by exporting your surplus electricity to the grid, the income and savings could add up to more than £3,000 a year.
Ground source heat pumps
A ground source heat pump uses pipes to extract heat from the ground. The pump can even be used in the middle of winter because the ground stays at a fairly constant temperature throughout the year. You don't need a very big garden to accommodate a ground source heat pump, but you do need ground that is suitable for digging a trench or drilling a borehole. The pumps also work better with underfloor heating systems because they generate heat at a lower temperature than traditional boilers.
You should expect to pay about £15,000 to install a ground source heat pump. The savings vary enormously, but if you replace an electric heating system with a pump, you could save up to £600 a year. The savings if you replace a gas central heating system will be much smaller. Bear in mind that the pump is powered by electricity, although it should generate more energy than it consumes.
Biomass fuels
All the trendiest homes now have wood-burning or biomass stoves that burn logs or pellets to heat up the room. You can also install a biomass boiler that burns logs, pellets or chips and is linked up to the central heating and hot water system.
It's obviously a lot cheaper to install a stove than a boiler. You could probably buy a log woodburner and get it up and running for about £2,000, compared with about £11,500 for a biomass boiler.
The price of wood fuel varies, although it helps if you have somewhere to store wood so you can buy in bulk and cut down on delivery costs.
A wood-fuelled boiler could save you nearly £600 a year compared to electric heating. If you replace a gas heating system with a wood-burning system, you might save £100 a year.
If you live close to a river or other water source, you might be tempted to try and harness the power of the water to generate electricity. However, most homes are not suitable for hydropower, often because the water does not flow fast enough, particularly during the summer months. The installation cost of about £25,000 can also be prohibitive.
Whatever type of renewable energy system you decide to install, always check whether you need planning permission before you go ahead. You should also make sure that your home is as energy efficient as possible so that you don't waste any of the heat you generate.
Payment schemes
The government is in the process of setting up a Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to encourage greater use of renewable energy sources. However, the RHI is not yet available for domestic generators.
If you generate your own power, you might be eligible for the government's Feed-in-Tariffs, in which case you will be paid for the electricity you generate and use as well as the surplus power that you feed in to the grid. You can find more information on the website of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (www.decc.gov.uk).
Can I save money with Economy 7?
If you have an Economy 7 tariff, you get cheaper electricity at night than during the day. It sounds great, but it does not suit everyone. In fact, most experts agree that you will make only marginal savings unless you consume at least 40% of your electricity overnight.
Economy 7 is therefore most effective for people who have electric storage heaters and a hot water tank because they can warm up the heaters and the hot water overnight for use the next day.
It also helps if you can switch on your dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer at night when the electricity is cheaper.
If the tariff suits your lifestyle, you could save between £200 and £300 a year.
Most of the big energy companies offer Economy 7 tariffs. The cheap hours vary according to the company, as does the cost of the electricity. So make sure you compare prices.
You will also need a special meter, though your supplier should fit one for free or for a nominal fee.

Oh wow, you guys really liked James Bond Garrus! Please, have some more. I rather draw Garrus in suit than in his armor! (Besides, I have this thing for men's suits).
Ahahhaa oh god, Cait Sith's Theme, you had perfect timing! Now I shall call you Bond Garrus's Theme.

CLUG Notes May 4, 2007
Attendees: Anthony Lewis, Brandon Zimmerman, David Winney, Elizabeth Treadgold, Elmo Hunter, Jessica Wallace, Kevin McKay, Marti Baker, Michael Yocom
In discussions in IS and a variety of meetings it appears that we will not be moving to Office 2007 until the fall of Office 2008. Given the above deployment date:
- Software images will be available for basic testing available of Office 2007 in spring quarter 2008
- Software images will be available for full testing in summer quarter 2008
Office 2007 will be available via Citrix for instructors in next few weeks. Contact the Helpdesk for access.
Prentice Hall will be on campus on Tuesday, 5/8 to demo a simulation program that will allow instructors to teach the Office 2007 products without having them installed on the computers.
ACS is working to make 1 office 2007 test (and file conversion) computer available in ALD hall, the 4th floor of LYN Hall, and MLT 212.
There is no current plan to move to MS Vista in the labs. We will not make the move
until it is necessary for instruction.
What next?
- ACS will continue testing Vista
- Once we have a better idea when Vista will be needed we will need assistance from departments with testing to determine what will and will not run on MS Vista. We will also need assistance from departments in obtaining any updated departmentspecific software.
- This topic will remain on the agenda for upcoming CLUG meetings.
After summer quarter 2007 CWU will take on support of their labs in SQL. EdCC students will still have access to these labs.
ALD 102 will receive new computers and LCDs prior to fall quarter 2007. If time allows, the new equipment will be deployed during the break between spring and summer quarter. e are working with student government and the Library to see if all computers on the 3rd and 4th floor of the Library can be replaced.
We have put in a Tech Fee request to have the computers in ALD 101 replaced.
Perpetual Acct project
- We will not be not deleting student accounts and data at the end of this quarter.
- We will be keeping student accounts and data from quarter.
- The long-term goal is to be able to keep student accounts for 1 year after students leave. These students would still have access to Blackboard to get information or make up any incompletes. Students will not have local logon access to the computers in the computer labs when they are not currently enrolled. This should be in place for fall quarter 2007.
Learning Commons
- We are working with the Library to implement a Learning Commons.
- What is it? The Learning Commons (LC) is a one-stop study-shop that combines research, IT and learning support services under one roof to enhance the student experience. The physical location of the LC will be in the Library on the 3rd floor of Lynnwood Hall. Phase 1 will include combining the computer lab in the main area of the 4th floor of Lynnwood Hall with the computer lab in the main area of the 3rd floor of Lynnwood Hall. This will combine the services provided in both locations into one central location.
- When might it happen? Phase 1 should be in place for the start of fall quarter 2007.

Marketing Reports: How to Look Good No Matter What
For many marketers, the thought of reporting conjures up nightmares of Excel spreadsheets and a vortex of time-suck. You need to not only show the value of your work, but also present your results in terms your managers and clients will understand. Even worse, when a campaign isn't working out as well as you hoped, you need to quickly analyze why and make adjustments.
But reporting doesn't have to be a bad word.
In fact, Raven's fast and easy reports can have you looking forward to the end of the month as they help you analyze your campaigns, make necessary changes and show off your successes.
In this episode of Marketing Flight School, learn 1) the types of marketing reports you should run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis; 2) best practices for the data and analysis you'll include in your different reports, and 3) how Raven can help you build, brand, schedule and even automate all of your reports in minutes – not hours.
At 2:45, focus on reporting for yourself – how to glean insights to make smart changes.

Built on the industry of 'black gold', these days Wonthaggi offers a glimpse into Victoria's mining past as well as a host of outdoor activities and sweeping coastal views. Wonthaggi was home to Victoria's only winnable underground black coal, used by the Victorian Government in response to the disastrous New South Wales coal strikes at the turn of the twentieth century. Although Wonthaggi's State Coal Mine has retired from duty, there's still plenty to see and do. The mine's above-ground heritage features are open to the public, with historic buildings, interpretive displays, a picnic area and kiosk. The heritage walk around the mine site reveals a town that was controlled by the mine whistle, which is still heard at noon every day. Wonthaggi is also the starting point for the amazing 16-kilometre Bass Coast Rail Trail, Victoria's only coastal rail trail. This trail is best known for the trestle bridge at Kilcunda, which has a surf beach as its backdrop. Keep your walking shoes on and explore the Wonthaggi Wetlands, the North School Wild Flowers Reserve, and the Old Rescue Station - all easy short walks with wheelchair access.

Portland, located on south-west Victoria's Discovery Coast, is rich in rugged landscapes and marine life, colourful history, some of Victoria's finest surfing, sailing and fishing, and great local food and wine. Portland became Victoria's first permanent European settlement in 1834. Today it boasts more than 200 beautifully maintained heritage buildings and private residences, which can be viewed on the self-guided Historic Buildings Walk. For an insight into Portland's long seafaring history, visit the Maritime Discovery Centre. Portland's waterfront is alive with activity - see big ships from around the world come in to load up local produce and the local fishing fleet unload its catch.

Cape Bridgewater features some of the highest coastal cliffs in Victoria overlooking the deep-blue waters of Bridgewater Bay and a large breeding colony of fur seals. Beginning and ending at the Portland Visitor Information Centre is the 250 kilometre Great South West Walk. Try one section or tackle the entire walk and see stunning forests, river gorges, capes and beaches along the way. Portland is 362 kilometres west of Melbourne. Travel by car via the Great Ocean Road, Princes or Henty highways.
Take a trip to Ballarat in Victoria's Goldfields and discover rich history and heritage and a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Ballarat is Victoria's largest inland city and is famous as the site of the world's largest deposit of alluvial gold. The legacy of the gold rush is evident in the majestic architecture and wide tree-lined streets of the town. Admire the city's Victorian and Edwardian architecture, parks, gardens, statues and churches by following the visitor information centre's self-guided heritage walking trails. Pan for gold and watch the hustle and bustle of an 1850s gold mining settlement at Sovereign Hill. The 35-acre site includes shops, hotels, schools, a theatre, crafts, steam-driven machinery and two underground mines. Don't miss the dramatic Blood on the Southern Cross sound and light show, telling the story of the Eureka Rebellion. Visit the Gold Museum, located across the road from Sovereign Hill, and view the extensive and valuable collection of gold nuggets, alluvial gold deposits, gold ornaments and coins. Admire the magnificent collection of Australian art and the original Eureka flag at the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, Australia's oldest and largest regional gallery.

Tucked in between Gippsland's vast lakes, beaches and national parks, Victoria's Loch Sport boasts one of the most spectacular spots in Victoria. Situated east of Sale on a narrow spit of land between the sand dunes of Ninety Mile Beach and Lake Victoria, Loch Sport is home to some of the most beautiful bird life in Australia. The Lakes National Park is an ornithologist's delight, covering more than 2300 hectares of coastal flora and fauna. The national park features eucalypt and giant banksia woodland, with a spectacular show of wildflowers from August to November and one of the nation's best displays of native orchids. Enjoy a picnic and make use of the barbecue facilities in the park at Sperm Whale Head, and see the surrounding wildlife. Campsites are also available if the idea of pitching a tent and sleeping under the stars becomes too enticing. Cast a line in and hook bream, mullet, skip jack and flounder. River fishing yields some of the best bream in the area, or try ocean beach fishing for abundant open water fish. You can launch a boat at one of the many ramps along the foreshore. The shallow sandy beach of Lake Victoria at Loch Sport is favourite spot for swimming. Loch Sport is three hours from Melbourne along the M1 and the Princess Highway.
The Great Ocean Road region hugs the contours of Victoria's rugged south west coast and offers one of Australia's greatest and most spectacular coastal drives with a glimpse of the famous 12 Apostles. Start your journey in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula and discover beautiful beaches, great eateries, a fascinating heritage and an enormous range of recreational opportunities, from fishing and golfing to diving and surfing. Take in the colourful and lively ambience of bayside Geelong, Victoria's second largest city, or discover quaint Queenscliff's rich maritime history and heritage hotels. Follow the coast to the seaside resort towns of Torquay, Lorne and Apollo Bay for stunning beaches and water sports as well as incredible rainforest scenery in the nearby Otway Ranges. One of the most visited stretches of the Great Ocean Road is around Port Campbell. Buffeted by wild seas and fierce winds, Port Campbell's coastline has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of striking rock stacks that rise majestically out of the Southern Ocean. Known as the 12 Apostles, they are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Victoria. A helicopter ride to get a bird's eye view of these famous natural wonders is the ultimate Great Ocean Road experience. The Great Ocean Road is characterised by its rich maritime past. The historic towns of Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Portland give you a taste of seafaring village life, with their fishing wharves, preserved colonial buildings and maritime museums recounting the stories of ships that have foundered off the rugged shipwreck coast. The Great Ocean Road is a two-hour drive from the heart of Melbourne. The Great Ocean Road itself stretches for over 400 kilometres from Torquay to the South Australian border. Alternatively, take the inland route along the Princes Highway from Geelong to Warrnambool.
St Kilda Road is the tree-lined main artery of Melbourne's CBD and the gateway to lush parks and well-known landmarks. First stop is the beguiling National Gallery of Victoria (international collection) and the Arts Centre with its spire and action-packed calendar of performing arts. The Arts Centre Market has long been held on Sundays along the footpaths to the river. On the other side of St Kilda Road are the Domain Parklands. Bring a picnic lunch or just while away the day on Alexandra and Queen Victoria gardens' manicured lawns surrounded by fountains, statues and even a colourful floral clock. The Domain Parklands blend seamlessly into the seemingly never-ending Royal Botanic Gardens, home to thousands of plant species and native wildlife. The gardens feature lakes, observatories, a Children's Garden, a rainforest walk, themed gardens and lawns. Spend a summer evening at a theatre performance or catch a classic movie under the stars. Each morning and evenings throngs of joggers pound the gravel of 'the tan', a legendary running track encircling the gardens. Down by the Yarra River you'll find boat sheds and palm trees and views of the city skyline. Head to the King's Domain for a show at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, a shell-shaped outdoor performance venue with a fine pedigree. On the edge of the Botanic Gardens in Kings Domain sits the striking Shrine of Remembrance, a war memorial to the fallen soldiers of Victoria. The balcony at the top features wonderful views of the city. The historic Victoria Barracks are also located along St Kilda Road. St Kilda Road is the site of the annual March madness and mayhem that's known as Melbourne Moomba Waterfest.
The coastal town of Port Albert in Gippsland was Victoria's first established port and continues to operate as a commercial port and a recreational fishing hot spot. From the mid-1800s, Port Albert was the supply port for Gippsland's pioneers until the completion of the Melbourne-Sale railway in 1878. It has berthed ships from Europe and America and welcomed thousands of Chinese on their way to the goldfields. More than 40 Georgian and Victorian-style buildings still exist in the town, including The Port Albert Hotel, the oldest continually licensed hotel in Victoria. A beer and a meal of local fish and chips at the pub is a time-honoured ritual. Port Albert's reputation for recreational fishing sees its population swell considerably during summer, which has led to an increase in quality holiday accommodation in some of the town's historic buildings. The Port Albert Maritime Museum has an extensive collection of artefacts to browse in between scenic boat tours, fishing trips and bird watching. The Old Port walking trail is a tranquil way to spend a few hours, meandering through quiet coastal vegetation with glimpses of mangroves and salt marsh. Port Albert is around 220 kilometres from Melbourne, or 2 hours and 45 minutes by car along the M1 and South Gippsland Highway.
Just over the West Gate Bridge from the Melbourne CBD lies the picture-postcard nineteenth century world of Werribee Park, perfumed with the fragrance of thousands of roses, where it is also possible to embark on a wildlife safari. Werribee Park dominates the easily-accessible precinct of Werribee, encompassing the Open Range Zoo, Werribee Park Mansion, Shadowfax Winery, and the State Rose Garden. The Chirnside family originally owned much of the Werribee Plains and built Werribee Park Mansion, the largest private residence in Victoria, in the late 1870s. The 12 hectares of park include beautifully kept gardens and a farmyard area complete with authentic blacksmith facilities. Garden-lovers will be in heaven as they take in the sights and smells of the State Rose Garden, which boasts more than 4,500 plants in its collection. The best time to view the roses is between November and May. The Werribee Park Sculpture Walk intersperses contemporary sculpture with the splendid flowers. For a truly wild experience, come face-to-face with giraffes, zebras, meerkats, wallabies, emus and other grassland animals from around the globe at Victoria's Open Range Zoo Follow one of the many scenic trails winding their way through the You Yangs Regional Park through beautiful terrain. Aboriginal rock wells can be found on Big Rock. Watch migratory wading birds at the Point Cook Coastal Park during the summer months. The Werribee Park Precinct is approximately 30 kilometres from Melbourne, or around half an hour via the Princes Highway.

Recovering from cancer is not a simple process. First you have to follow your prescribed course of treatment. Then, there are follow-up appointments and other aftercare. It can take a while to get back to your normal activities. To help you make the transition back to your precancer lifestyle, ask your doctor and other specialists to design a rehabilitation program for you. Its goal should be to strengthen you both physically and mentally. Here are some specific items you might want to discuss:
Where you can get in touch with other people who have had a similar type of cancer who are willing to share their experiences, hopes, and fears?
How you can actively eliminate as many factors that increase your risk of the cancer coming back or developing a new cancer as possible?
Where you can find counseling for you and your family to help you keep healthy relationships during your care and as you transition back to your routine?
Where you can get help paying your medical bills?
Who can help you understand your rights at work and about keeping your job?
What kinds of physical activity are safe for you to do?

I feel I must remind you that it is undeniable, and may I say a fundamental quality of man, that when faced with extinction, every alternative is preferable.
I disagree. If I was the last man on the planet, I'd kill myself. If I was the last man on the planet with the last woman on the planet, I'd try to convince her there would be no point in re-population. If she didn't listen, I'd offer to impregnate her and then kill myself.
Seriously, jokes aside, I'd consider suicide over survival. I wouldn't care enough to keep going. I just don't see the point in it. I've actually thought a lot about this every time I watched any zombie film or while reading World War Z.
Why? It would be fun!

With the ever increasing dominance of Samsung and Apple in the UK smartphone market, it could be seen as an extremely difficult climate for a relatively unknown entity to break into. Chinese manufacturer ZTE, however, has decided to do just that with its new Grand X device. The company is actually the fourth largest handset vendor in the world, so the propensity for mass market penetration is undoubtedly there.
The Grand X is an Android device which aims to combine high-end features such as a dual-core processor and HD video recording, with a budget price tag. But with this market sector already populated with capable handsets such as the HTC One Vand Samsung Galaxy W, can the Chinese newcomer really make the grade? We got hold of a Grand X to find out.
Key Features
- NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor
- 4.3-inch qHD display
- 512MB of RAM
- 4GB internal storage (expandable via microSD)
- 5 megapixel autofocus camera
- 720p HD video recording
- 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera
- 110g weight
- 9.9mm thickness
- Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS
- Tegra Zone Games hub
- DLNA enabled
- Dolby Mobile sound enhancement
- FM Radio
- Facetones functionality
Design and Build
The design of the Grand X gives a clear aesthetic nod to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with its gently rounded corners and dark grey metal-effect bezel coming across as both attractive and reassuringly familiar. The phone has a definite premium feel in the hand thanks to its textured rear battery cover and contoured screen surround.
At 9.9mm thick it would be hard to describe the Grand X as svelte, however, the 110g weight does temper the handsets relative thickness meaning that it comes across as substantial without being bulky.
Screen Performance
Although on paper the 4.3-inch display's qHD resolution might come across as underwhelming, in practice it offers both excellent clarity and colour intensity. While there is nothing to trouble flagship handset displays such as the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III, the screen performs beyond the expectations that its limited resolution initially suggests.
Under the Hood
Featuring a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and 512MB of RAM, the Grand X has the engine of a solid mid-range device which is competent without being particularly inspiring. That said, in our tests handset navigation and operation was smooth and lag-free across all aspects of the software.
On board storage comes in at 4GB, although thankfully, this is expandable via the microSD slot to a much more useful 32GB.
Battery Performance
Packed into the device is an impressive 1600mAh battery, which offers around 30 hours of power under general use. As expected, this is greatly reduced when gaming or watching movies, but even then the power source still performed admirably during our tests with anything more than a daily charge rarely required.
Operating System and User Interface
The operating system of choice for the Grand X is a virtually untouched version Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Without any extraneous manufacturer UI getting in the way, the interface is refreshingly straightforward and as such, the handset offers a clean yet highly customisable user experience.
Fans of heavily stylised UIs will probably be left wanting with the Grand X due to the lack of visual garnish spattered liberally throughout the menus and options screens, but we found the unadorned version of ICS to be usable and a timely reminder of how good Android can be in its purest form.
Additional Features
Although ZTE has seen fit to leave Android pretty much unsullied, the company has added a few key software components to the handset. The Evernote Android app comes preloaded on the phone, offering both new and pre-registered users one touch access to reminders, photos and voice memos.
Also included is the TouchPal Keyboard app that allows users to customise and adjust keyboard input options including bespoke skins and layout adjustments. Although it's unlikely that this kind of app would be often used, it is useful to have sitting in the menu should text input methods need to be fine-tuned.
Camera and Video
The Grand X's on-board 5 megapixel autofocus camera offers impressive image results across a range of conditions with faithful colour reproduction and excellent levels of sharpness. The interface is once again stock Android and therefore minimalist but usable. Photo options are adequate but not plentiful, however, this does not dilute from the camera's abilities overall and the Grand X's image capturing capabilities are a real strong point of the device.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the handset's 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera, with the unit only managing grainy results with poor colour reproduction. The camera will be just about usable for video calling but beyond this its capabilities really are extremely limited.
High quality video capture is achievable via the front-facing lens featuring 720p HD recording capabilities. While the results are of a high standard we would like to have seen sharper results, especially in low light. However, for the casual user at least, the unit will be more than competent in the majority of situations.
Connectivity and Multimedia
With NVIDIA touting the Tegra 2 processor as the "mobile superchip optimised for entertainment", multimedia capabilities were always going to be at the heart of the Grand X's appeal, and it really does not disappoint. Gaming is at the core of the entertainment experience, with the chipset and that excellent screen combining to make for an immersive, smooth gaming experience. So confident is ZTE of the handset's gaming prowess that it has included a demo of the processor-intensive Riptide with device.
Access to the Tegra Zone gaming portal is also included with the Grand X, making it easy to get hold of titles specially optimised for the NVIDIA powerhouse.
An innovation particularly worthy of note is the inclusion of a new audio technology knows as Dolby Mobile sound enhancement. And what a revelation it is. Activating the software transforms the sound capabilities of the device, particularly when watching movie content. Admittedly, good quality speakers or headphones are required to really appreciate the enhancements it brings, but it really is as impressive as any audio software we have come across elsewhere.
An ideal partner for the Dolby Mobile software is the DLNA capabilities of the Grand X, meaning content can be wirelessly streamed to other enabled devices (including home stereos and TVs) and the same audio quality enjoyed. Although this is a welcome addition to the handsets armoury, we found the Fullshare app which accompanies it slightly muddled in its execution.
Messaging and social networking is pretty much as expected from a modern Android device, with menus minimalist in design and the usual suspects such as Facebook and Twitter preloaded onto the device. ZTE has preinstalled its Facetones software, which pulls Facebook images and updates to the screen whenever that contact calls you, on the Grand X, and although novel, this functionality struck us as little more than a gimmick.
Performance and Verdict
Overall, the Grand X is a solid handset which excels in some areas but stumbles in others. Features such as video recording and the front-facing camera are somewhat lacking, however, this is tempered by the phone's excellent gaming capabilities and the astounding Dolby Mobile sound enhancements.
As a newcomer to the UK smartphone market ZTE will undoubtedly win over some fans with the Grand X. Whilst by no means faultless, the handset does offer an impressive specification at what is expected to be an extremely competitive price. In a marketplace already bursting with capable devices, the ZTE Grand X might just stake its claim as a newcomer with real substance.
