This dish had great flavor. It was however, very very mushy, and I left out the last one third cup water. Baked for an hour and a half to dry it out some and still was very mushy.

Mine turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't bake it long enough?

The pediatric externship program for respiratory therapists is designed to provide the advanced student of an accredited, registered respiratory care school with the skills, knowledge and experience specific to pediatric respiratory care. This program is designed to complement and enhance the respiratory school curriculum and to prepare the student to function in the field of pediatric respiratory care.
This program can accommodate up to eight externs annually. It begins with applicant interviews in June and July and ends upon graduation from the accredited respiratory school. The didactic portion of the program begins in August and ends in December. It is 16 weeks in length and consists of one day a week of training related to specific pediatric respiratory diseases and therapies. Upon completion of this didactic study, the student will receive an internal Certificate of Completion for the Pediatric Respiratory Externship Didactic Program.

It is expected that therapists participating in this program will not accept employment at another facility while employed at Children's during the externship program and until graduation or termination of employment. This precludes employment as a student therapist at any other facility. Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the director of respiratory care services.

Who Wins In The Google-Arris Deal?
Adam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) snatched up Motorola Mobility this spring, its intents were clear. The company was after Motorola's smartphone patents. However, the deal came with a little extra baggage – the Motorola Home division. The division operates with significantly lower margins than Google's core business, which worried investors back in the spring. Now, those worries can be put to rest as Google found a buyer for the business earlier this week in Arris Group (NASDAQ: ARRS).
I've been told investing is a zero-sum game. In every transaction, there's a winner and a loser. I stubbornly refuse to believe that this is always the case. I think the deal between Google and Arris is a great example of a win-win deal.
Google Wins
The deal is a clear win for Google in my opinion. It's a software company, and that is where it excels. Motorola Home carried operational risk for Google in that it had to move hardware units – not its forte. That's why Google has essentially been trying to get rid of the business since it first bought it in the packaged deal with Motorola Mobility.
It's interesting that Google, a company that seemingly has its hand in everything tech related, is willing to get rid of a piece of one of its business segments. This shows great control from leadership, and a dedication to its core capabilities along with a focus on the expanding mobile market.
The $2 billion in cash will go to help bolster Google's outstanding balance sheet. The deal also gives Google $300 million in Arris stock representing 16% ownership. This makes Google Arris' largest shareholder. I believe this will turn out to be a good investment for Google, as you'll see.
Arris Wins
In exchange for $2 billion in cash and $300 million worth of stock, Arris is able to add Motorola's cable box and cable internet modem to its portfolio. It also gains access to a slew of new patents from Motorola in areas such as digital-rights management and video processing. The stock deal also gives Google incentive to support Arris at every turn through licensing deals, and creates great potential for a partnership between the two for Google's forays into living room technology.
The biggest improvement in the outlook for Arris is that the deal diversifies its current customer base. Prior to the deal, Arris generated about half of its revenue from two customers – Comcast and Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC). The newly acquired Motorola Home will diversify sales so that five accounts make up half of revenues. This makes the company's risk more systemic instead of based on the growth of two companies.
Moreover, Arris is better capable of synergizing Motorola Home than Google. The company expects to take 12 months to reach the full potential synergy of the two companies. There are big plans in the works. Incorporating internet video delivery and multi-screen experiences for cable subscribers is just the tip of the iceberg. Arris also plans to integrate Motorola's expertise in cloud computing analytics and security and its advanced networking capabilities into its portfolio as well. The significant increase in research and development scale will increase Arris's growth potential as well.
As streaming media becomes increasingly popular, Arris combined with Motorola stands to help cable providers offer a competitive product to typical streaming fare like Netflix and Hulu. Video on Demand service often requires cable boxes capable of internet video delivery. Providing new equipment to customers will allow Time Warner and other cable companies to keep up with the move toward streaming video through the internet.
It's also worth noting that Google has agreed to carry the liability of a potential liability from a lawsuit by TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO). In the case TiVo wins a large settlement, Arris's liability is capped and Google will foot the rest of the bill.
Overall, the company expects the deal to create a significant accretion in earnings per share of $0.15. Additionally, strong cash flows from the resulting synergy will allow the company to pay down the debt it used to finance the acquisition. At an interest rate of just 1%, the amount of debt is definitely manageable.
The deal provides Arris with a better diversified customer base and product portfolio which enhances its relevance in the marketplace. Furthermore, it increases the company's R&D scale allowing it to keep up with market changes and grow faster. Finally, the deal will help Arris generate more than enough cash flow to cover its debt obligation. Even after the acquisition caused a 10% jump in stock price, I still believe this one has room to run.

Hello again, just had a more indepth look into your sketchbook. Some definite improvement from the start, and I like how you've been practicing 'larger' body types in the previous pages.
Think I'd like to see some studies of larger women before you dive right in there, for a while you've been focusing on more 'toony' and simple figures/faces- which is fine, but not when you're tackling a new body type.
Some good people to look for would be Beth ditto, etc.
Anyways, some really good stuff, so keep up the good work.

try to focus more on internal structure. all your characters look fairly weak, like they're going to fall over at some point. consider weight and gravity more. linework isn't the most important thing in the end, it's about having a strong fundamental base structure that you can rely on. take a building for example.. the important thing is the integrity and symmetry of the construct, not the paint or the decor (although that's important too - but for later).
also, try not to be so content with others feedback here. sometimes it can be misleading.. i see a lot of comments that aren't very useful or constructive.
No responses today, sorry for that - I'm really tired and kinda in the middle of a large artistc crisis, but many thanks for your support folks.
I've finally managed to finish a piece today for my girlfriend. Other than that - just some crap I'm even too ashamed of to show. I hope the next day will be better.

Way back near the beginning of your sketchbook, you'd been drawing for just two months. I've been at it for three years and I wasn't as good as you were back at that point. Granted, I drew manga and nothing else till just recently, but I'm willing to bet that that's some amazing skill for that amount of time. And now, you're even better. The quality of the art and the speed at which you progress motivates me to try my best as well.
This girl holding a bunny is awesome, and the
color choice is great. This painting got me so relaxed.
I forgot my aches instantly, that I got from the rotten tomato
that I eat this morning. Your girlfriend will be pleased with this
present for sure. Way to go.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Smoke and haze greeted fans as they descended on to Pullman for Homecoming 2012 to watch the Cougs take on the University of Colorada Buffaloes.
Click through the photos to see pictures of the smoke KREM 2's Darnay Tripp captured on his way to Pullman.
The game kicked off at 1 p.m. at Martin Stadium. School officials decided to carry on with the game despite deteriorating air conditions. Whitman County urged people Friday to cancel outdoor activities because of poor air quality. Pullman police echoed those recommendations on Twitter.
WSU barely took the win the last time these teams met in October of last year. The Cougs led the Buffaloes 31-27 in that game.

Help Your Child Get Ready to Read
Published on Saturday, February 13, 2010 - 10:31am
Literacy Skill
Vocabulary development is knowing the names of things, feelings concepts and ideas.
The best practices for early literacy programming in libraries have been established based on current brain and educational research. When these strategies are implemented with story times at your library, children's foundations for reading success are enhanced.
At Chevy Chase Library we use singing, fingerplays, following directions with music, and reading books aloud to children to help develop vocabulary with new words introduced.
Some examples of good books that support vocabulary development are:
- 10 Little Rubber Ducks by Eric Carle
- Lemons Are Not Red by Laura Seeger
- The Napping House by Don and Audrey Woods
- Snowballs by Lois Ehlert
- Mr. Grumpy's Outing by John Burningham
Use these picture books as a jumping off point for conversations. Say the names of things in the pictures. Use harder words or new words with similar meanings.
Ask questions that start with "who, why, how, and where."
Remember to keep it short and fun, and enjoy the time with your child.

(WNFL)- Milwaukee Brewers' right-hander Wily Peralta has been solid, even though he lost two of his last three starts. Peralta had a relatively stingy E-R-A of two-point-one-four in his last three outings -- but the Brewer offense scored only three total runs during those appearances. Tonight, he expects a little more run support when the Brewers host Pittsburgh again. The Crew has won three straight while scoring 16 runs in those games -- five of them last night, as Milwaukee improved to 7-and-1 over the Pirates this season. Peralta is 4-and-2 overall, with a two-point-one-seven E-R-A. Pittsburgh will put up left-hander Francisco Liriano, who's still searching for his first win of the season. He has lost three decisions, and his E-R-A is almost four-and-two-thirds. Liriano has dropped four consecutive road starts, dating back to last September. He escaped with a no-decision last Friday night despite giving a three-run homer against Saint Louis.

In the midst of July, many of us are fortunate enough to have some time for a summer vacation. We plan a trip with the family or go to visit friends. We may drive, fly or take a train. Summer vacation is something that many people look forward to and is something that has been ingrained in us since we were children. Vacation is something that is part of our culture. Many movies are about travel and vacation, from the old Bob Hope movies to Chevy Chase going cross-country on a family vacation to Wally World to more spiritual journeys, such as Martin Sheen walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain in the movie "The Way."
Vacation is something that all of us need from time to time, to recharge the batteries and relax with family and friends. There is an excitement that comes from going somewhere different, even if it is a place you have been before. And the journey itself can be just as interesting as the destination.
The journey is also a way to describe our spiritual lives. We are all on a journey back to our heavenly home, and we are invited to live our lives with this destination in mind. The Christian life is one of pilgrimage, of seeking to return home to God. We are given a roadmap in Scripture, in the teachings of Jesus, to help us live lives of integrity and justice. We are called to live lives of faith, hope and love.
As we continue our summer vacations, let us be mindful of the journey of faith. While summer is a time for relaxation and vacation, it can also be a time to renew our faith. Through prayer, through service, through spiritual reading, we can take some time to grow deeper in our faith and understanding of God's call in our lives. Let us be rejuvenated in our pilgrimage of life and follow Christ more closely in a life of loving service.

-On Wednesday, we went out to eat dinner at Neighborhoods in downtown with the Original 4 and one of her BFFs. She's always wanted to go there and she loved it! The waitress was so chill too cause she gave her some good tasting beer ;)
-On Thursday, we went clubbing at Belo downtown, and we got in for FREE! Even though Belo isn't that great of a club, free is always great :) It was so much fun to dance with someone you know and love. But since it was Belo, the music wasn't too great (a lot of replays, but at least they only played You're a Jerk 2 times instead of 4 from the last time I went to Belo), a small cup of water cost $3 and you only get 1 refill, and there were a ton of older creepy dudes. But hey, it was FREE! So it was good enough for me ;)
-On Friday, I ate Wingstop for dinner with Shirley and the best part: her Surprise Birthday Party. So Rocio and I planned her party about 2 weeks beforehand, and the secrecy was a success! I told Shirley that I was going to take her to a Frat party up at UCSD, so she would get in the party mood ya know? She believed me and no one ever spoke about it, and so we went to Sean's house cause I "had to pick up alcohol and drop off a vacuum (the vacuum part is part is real LOL)" and when the door opened, I just heard a big SURPRISE! and then a very loud song of Happy Birthday! It was amazing and when I see the photos people took, Shirley was just awestruck. I'm so thankful so many people came to surprise her and party it out! It was such a fun night, even though I lost in BP, but seeing Shirley so happy made me feel amazing. On another note, I told Shirley beforehand that she'd get smashed at the party, and I was RIGHT! She took 11 shots, and she got messed up!!! I had to hold her for like half of the night cause she would always fall down! I lost count at like 10 for the amount of times she fell, it was hilarious. She visited the trashcan at the end of the night, and in the morning throughout the entire day she felt so bad and couldn't remember a lot of things that happened that night, and what do I say? I told you so :)
I wanted Shirley to have a lot of fun that week, and hopefully she did! She left her teens and I hope she had a great beginning to her 20s. She deserved all the fun and if she's happy then I'm happy. Now she has to wait one of the longest years of her life until she can reach the big one: 21! She told me she never wants to drink like that Friday night ever again, but uhh Shirley, that was only age 20…I'm pretty sure she's gonna want to drink more later this year hahaha! Oh how I love her so much :)

Wairarapa women will be inspired when four local women appear as guest speakers in the Bubbles and Inspiration series but just who they are will be kept secret.
The series is an opportunity for Wairarapa women to share stories and ideas, and to socialise and has been running since 2008.
Co-organiser Carissa Fairbrother said this would be the last event for the year, although they already have speakers confirmed for 2013.
She said rather than have one speaker, they have chosen a selection of Wairarapa women to share snippets of their lives and advice.
"It's not so much 100 per cent on their stories, it's sharing their expertise in various areas," Mrs Fairbrother said.
The event aims to celebrate the year and to bring some inspiration for the next.
Mrs Fairbrother said there will also be a chance for people to support the community by donating food items at the door, which will also encourage the festive spirit.
The evening will be held at Copthorne Resort Solway Park from 5pm on November 26. Tickets are $10 per person and contact info@bubblesandinspiration .co.nz for more information.

' By Kathleen Montoya Senior reporter of The Signpost frrfPi 4 I Campus The student senate is onlv in existence to rubber- i f j im stamp the decisions of the f 1 la K administration and has no L ..... J j real authority to serve the interests of the students, according to Social Science Sen. Treg Julander and Education Sen. Dan Cooper, who resigned Monday. "What possible use are we serving here when we really don't have any power?" Julander asked. "I cannot in good conscience go on receiving a scholarship for not doing anything." The administration does not care what the senators or the students think, Julander said. "All I see is the students being crapped on." Cooper echoed Julander's statements saying that participation in the student senate is a meaningless endeavor, and added that he was disappointed in the performance of some of the other senators. "I have chosen no longer to be part of this meaningless menagerie of insecure individuals who seek self-actualization by trampling others," he said. Cooper said he was following the advice of Louis L'Amour: "Do not let yourself be bothered by the inconsequential. One has only so much time in this world, so devote it to the work and people most important to you." Cooper walked out to a small round of applause, quoting Cicero. "Politicians are not made, they're excreted," he said. The remaining senators passed an amended resolution that will replace the weekly convocation program with a bi-monthly convocation. The original resolution had called for a monthly convocation. The majority of Weber State College students do not attend the weekly speaker bureau, the resolution said. To improve attendance the sponsors suggested that the convocation budget remain the same and that higher quality speakers be hired. "The students feel that their money should be spent better," said Natural Science Sen. Jodi Budge. Budge collected 500 student signatures, supporting a change from weekly to monthly convocations. Open Hour Chair Tracy Peterson presented statistics that indicate students support the weekly convocation program. In a survey of 200 students at a convocation, Peterson found that only two students supported a monthly convocation. Having a monthly convocation would decrease attendance because of the inconsistency it would create, Peterson said. "People are not going to take the time to figure out whether this is the week they're having convo," she said. She also questioned the premise of the resolution that spending more money on each speaker would increase the quality of the speakers. "Just because you have a big name, doesn't mean you're a quality speaker," she said. (See ISSUES page 12)

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1990-02-28, Vol. 50, No. 58
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

It's football Friday, so we are back with another week of our NFL picks. We will just briefly remember last week, as it was not good. I took an 0-3 week right on the chin, dropping the record to 18-25-2. Officially, a .500 season is out of the question, but we can use the last two weeks of the year to attempt a return to respectability.
Let's not dwell on the past, let's look ahead. Here come the picks for week 16 in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE! Here we go……
COLTS AT CHIEFS: We start in Kansas City for game number one. The Chiefs, led by Jamaal Charles of five touchdown fame, take on Andrew Luck and the Colts. The Chiefs may have clinched a playoff berth, but they are still right on the heels of the Broncos for the top spot in the AFC.
On the other hand, the Colts have clinched their division, and will be either the third or fourth seed. The Chiefs' offense is just looking too good right now. The Chiefs are favored by seven, and it's a good pick. Take the….
Chiefs -7 over the Colts
GIANTS AT LIONS: To Detroit for the second game of the week. The Lions are favored by nine, as they remain in the fight for the final playoff spot in the NFC. The Giants enter, playing out the string of a rough season, with a lot of turnovers from their quarterback, Eli Manning. It has not been the best year for Big Blue to say the least, and it has had some wondering if Tom Coughlin will be back.
Do the Lions win this one? Probably. But one thing is for sure, the Giants will play hard for coach Coughlin. Pair that with the facts that one, the Lions have only covered this spread three times, and two, they are on a two game losing streak with the offense not playing well, and I don't see them covering here. Take the….
Giants +9 over the Lions
RAIDERS AT CHARGERS: To San Diego for the final game. The Chargers come in with a 7-7 record, still in the hunt in the AFC, although they will need to win out and get help. The Raiders play out another season, coming in with a 4-10 record. The Chargers will win this one at least by the 10 they are favored by. Take the…..
Chargers -10 over the Raiders
There you have it, your three picks for week number 16:
The Chiefs, the Giants, and the Chargers
Good luck everyone. Enjoy the weekend slate of games.
Also, check out this cool blog article from Best Tickets on NFL penalties across the league. They look at data since 2009 and provide insight on both teams and individual players.

It's impossible to measure how many lives John Arnold touched, or how many people he reached out to, or how much food he put on the tables of hungry families.
The former executive director of Feeding America died Sunday after a six-year battle with prostate cancer.
Wiping out hunger was more than just a job for John, it was his passion, and it started at a young age.
He told the story over and over again about how, as a seven-year-old Boy Scout, he saw an elderly woman digging for food out of a Dumpster.
"I freaked, somebody's grandmother eating garbage," said Arnold. "I have never been quite the same person since."
At 17, he went to war, serving as a Marine in Vietnam, fighting in an area called the Arizona Territory, named that because it looked like a desert - the jungle destroyed by Agent Orange. At the time, he didn't think much about being exposed to the chemicals. Besides, once he got home, there was too much to do.
He got his degree from William James College, now known as Grand Valley State University.
John was working as a paralegal in Springfield, Ill., when he started one of the first food banks in the United States.
A true pioneer in food banking, he set out to change the way charity food systems worked.
In 1989, John moved to Grand Rapids and took over as executive director of what was then called Second Harvest Food Gleaners.
That's when his reputation as a "maverick" really kicked in.
First, he changed the way food was collected, tracking down millions of pounds of food that was going to waste, tossed out because of misprinted packages or smudged labels.
John sent trucks across the country to pick up food and bring it to West Michigan. Then, he revolutionized the way that food was distributed with a common-sense approach: let people choose the food they want, the food they'll eat, instead of giving them a pre-packaged, one-size-fits all bag.
Always wiping away a tear, John would explain that the least we can do when people are hurting is let them keep their dignity.
John dedicated the next three decades of his life to ending hunger. His methods became the blueprint for food banking around the world.
Then in 2006, he received devastating news.
John was diagnosed with an advanced form of prostate cancer, linked to his exposure to agent orange in Vietnam.
He called it a distraction. The ex-Marine vowed to fight two battles at once, one against hunger, the other against time.
In December of 2010, he stepped down as executive director of Feeding America.
He spent the past year focused, for the first time, on himself. John spent time with family, reflecting on his life and the countless lives he changed.
He's leaving us with a challenge to pick up where he left off.
"We can't solve all the world's problems, divorces and fires and things, but we can sure make sure nobody in West Michigan goes hungry, and that's what I'm all about," Arnold said.
John leaves behind his wife, Jeanne, and son Jeff.

To the Editor: In an interesting review, Dr. Klein critically examined four meta-analyses "that claim to quantitatively compare the benefits of psychotherapy to pharmacotherapy in patients with psychiatric disorders" (p. 1204). The article dealt with some important aspects of meta-analyses that must be taken into account in evaluating their conclusions. For example, Dr. Klein correctly pointed out the economic and ideological consequences that may play a role in claims derived from meta-analyses. Although we agree that a meta-analysis is no substitute for direct comparisons in adequately designed studies, we have some remarks concerning his selection of the meta-analyses discussed and his comments.
First, he discussed two meta-analyses of panic disorder that were published in 1995 and 1989 but paid no attention to our more recent meta-analyses from 1997 and 1998 (1, 2). In these studies, we addressed several criticisms that he made. We did control for a possible publication bias toward positive results (it probably would not change the conclusions for panic disorder), checked for potential differences between a wait-listed control group and a placebo group (we found comparable effect sizes), and performed quality assessments (we found no relationship between quality and outcome). In both meta-analyses, we found that the combination of antidepressants and exposure in vivo was superior to either therapy given separately.
Second, Dr. Klein discussed our meta-analysis of treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (3) and criticized the noncomparative effect size we used because it was "vulnerable to several artifacts" (p. 1208) without specifying these artifacts. He also stated that "since only one of the 86 studies directly compared psychological with pharmacological interventions and showed no significant a priori distinctions between the two treatments, this conclusion [that behavior therapy is more effective for the treatment of OCD than antidepressants] goes far beyond the data" (p. 1208). As we pointed out in the introduction of the article, the scarcity of direct comparisons was precisely the reason we undertook the meta-analysis: as a next-best answer to the question of relative efficacy. Unfortunately, to our knowledge, even to this date no direct comparisons of antidepressants and cognitive behavior therapy in OCD have been published. We hope that the field picks up the recommendation to conduct comparative studies in both fields.

DeWalt DCK290L2 Cordless Hammerdrill / Impact Driver Combo Kit
DeWalt DCK290L2 20V MAX Cordless Hammerdrill / Impact Driver Combo Kit
- DCD985 20V MAX hammer drill's 3-speed all-metal transmission allows for a surprising 535 unit watts of output, powering through even the toughest concrete and masonry drilling applications
- 1/2" ratcheting chuck's all-metal frame allows for extreme bit retention
- DCF885 impact driver puts out 1,400 in-lbs of torque, strong enough to make short work of frozen or over-torqued nuts and bolts
- The driver's built-in LED lights illuminate dark work areas
- Kit also includes two 20V MAX Lithium Ion batteries, a fast charger, 360 degree side handle (for increased control over your hammer drill), belt hook, and a contractor bag
Drilling holes in dense concrete and masonry or extracting over-torqued nuts and bolts should only be attempted by those equipped with the most efficient tools at their disposal. Normally you'd reach for a corded or pneumatic hammer drill, because battery power isn't nearly as reliable right? Au contraire, haven't you heard about DeWalt's new DCK290L2 Hammerdrill/Impact Driver Combo Kit? This kit is part of DeWalt's ground-breaking 20V MAX Lithium Ion series; containing two of most ergonomic and efficient tools on the market. The DCD985 Hammerdrill is equipped with a patented 3-speed all-metal transmission. When that is combined with its 535 unit watts of maximum output, it equates to a flawless concrete or masonry drilling job every time. Don't worry about your bit; the 1/2" all metal ratcheting chuck retains your bit like never before. Don't forget about the included impact driver; the DCF885 weighs about 3 lbs, and yet it can still put out about 1,400 in-lbs of torque, enough to dislodge even the most stubborn nuts and bolts. No matter where they hide, you will be able to find them and work in the dark, thanks to the built-in LED lights. This kit also includes two 20V MAX Lithium Ion batteries, a fast charger, 360 degree side handle (for increased control over your hammer drill), belt hook, and a contractor bag; all of which tie together this essential package.
The DCK290L2 includes:
- One (1) DeWalt 20V MAX* 3.0 Ah Li-Ion Premium 3-Speed Hammer Drill - DCD985

A new Darwin dawns as the Top End city whets more than merely appetites for the deluge of wet season tourists.
Venice has its canals, Athens its antiquities, New York its zeitgeist buzz. Darwin has its storms. At this time of year, the Top End capital is where serious weather-watchers clamour to be.Tourism stylists call it the "tropical summer" or the "green season", but to locals it is simply "the wet". With good reason: during January, the wettest month, Darwin can expect to receive almost half a metre of rain.It is true that the Top End can be hot and sticky between November and April, with average daytime temperatures in the low 30s, cooling to mid-20s overnight. It is also true that the rain at this time of the year transforms the place into a lush wonderland dotted with frangipanis every shade of yellow, orange, pink and red, under brooding grey skies that flash and crackle. The storms scud in over Darwin Harbour, dumping torrents of rain, and the locals take their shoes off to cross the streets. But before the monsoon arrives, usually in December or January, most downpours are brief, generally occurring in the mid- to late-afternoon, sending up plumes of steam from the roads. A storm can cool the air dramatically, often dropping the temperature to 25 or 26 degrees. While the Top End receives most of its visitors in the perfect-day-after-perfect-day dry season (May to October), those who come during the wet find that it's a good time to experience Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks without the crowds. About 100km south of Darwin, Litchfield National Park has waterfalls cascading from a sandstone plateau and is dotted with huge magnetic termite mounds. It is usually accessible all year round, although most 4WD tracks are closed during the peak of the wet season and some swimming areas are closed during heavy rain. World Heritage-listed Kakadu, located about 250km east of Darwin, is renowned for its towering escarpment and waterfalls, Aboriginal rock art and spectacular floodplains. A scenic flight will allow you to appreciate waterfalls such as Jim Jim and Twin Falls, which are at their most torrential during the wet season when road access is closed.Fishing tours – in Darwin Harbour or beyond, or on one of the Territory's extensive river systems – operate all year but the "run-off" at the end of the wet season gets barramundi (and therefore barramundi fishermen) excited. Around March is the best time to bag a barra.It seems the lure of the Top End during the wet season is less of a secret than it once was. Rachel Beaumont-Smith, general manager of Darwin Harbour Cruises, which runs trips on the schooners Alfred Nobel and Tumlaren, says she is seeing more tourists during the traditionally quieter months. "In comparison with 10 years ago, things are incredibly different," she says. "The peak time was always June to August, but we now run Tumlaren all year round except February. We have up to about 36 people [on the vessel] in the dry season, 15 to 20 in the green. It's a bit more exclusive, a bit more personal at that time of the year."Although the company's policy is to cancel the cruise and reschedule if the weather makes it unsafe or unpleasant, that is rarely necessary. "It's usually just a brief downpour," Beaumont-Smith says. "Last wet season we had interstate guests who thought it was fantastic. It's actually quite a selling point. We had farmers from country New South Wales [where it has been extremely dry] who just loved seeing these big, fat drops of warm rain. People are going, 'Raining? Fantastic, it's wet!'"We have such a huge harbour and the majority of the vista is green bushland – so there's nothing more amazing than seeing a squall of torrential rain coming across. Because they're quite compact and you can see them, you can go around them. The temperature drops and it's beautiful."Then there are the frogs. "The frog choruses are absolutely spectacular," says Graeme Sawyer, coordinator of FrogWatch, an organisation that aims to protect native frogs and reduce cane toad numbers. "Rain often triggers the choruses of green tree frogs – basically it's the male's advertising call. At night in town, it's predominantly green tree frogs. Further afield, in the immediate vicinity of Darwin, you'll hear up to 26 species chorusing."Chorusing frogs, cool rain and the crackle of lightning… the sounds of a wet season in the Top End.Darwin city has its charms, too. Attractions such as the museum, art galleries, fish feeding and Crocodylus Park are open year-round and easy to get to. Parap Markets are held every Saturday, and the markets at Rapid Creek and Nightcliff – where you can try a fiery pawpaw salad for a real taste of the tropics – operate every Sunday.The city is transforming and debate flares – in the media, in cafes and on back verandahs – about issues such as whether tall buildings with generous setbacks will enhance or destroy "our lifestyle". Twenty or 30 years ago, there was little debate and plenty of ad hoc construction. Darwin prides itself on having twice risen from ashes and rubble – once after it was bombed repeatedly by Japanese forces during WWII and again after Cyclone Tracy in 1974. These days, it's recognised that the way Darwin develops is as important as the fact that it's developing.The Northern Territory Government's blueprint for Darwin's growth is called Creating Darwin's Future – A Tropical Harbour City. It includes, among other things, construction of a WWII museum next to Parliament House and development of a "ribbon of green around the CBD". It's long-term. In the short term, the city's face is already changing. Much of the transformation centres on Mitchell Street – Darwin's backpacker strip and the location of many of the best and brightest bars, restaurants and other attractions. It seems every time you turn your back, there's a new place to drink in Mitchell Street. The latest addition is Monsoons, a bar that tries to mirror its tropical edge-of-Asia location. Dark-grey, burnished concrete floors inset with granite reflect the dark wood and cane furniture, tiled columns and a carved timber camel. It's the spot of choice for lunching public servants and offers a range of salads, burgers and curries.Next door, Wisdom Bar and Cafe and, a couple of blocks down, The Tap on Mitchell attract locals and tourists to outdoor tables for cool drinks and pub grub. For food that's a cut above, the relocated and expanded Hanuman serves excellent Thai, Indian and nonya dishes and now offers the option of dining outside on a broad timber deck – complete with two spirit houses. Tables made from coconut shell, topped with mismatched plates, are a quirky counterpoint to the high-tech look of the long bar, which changes colour before your eyes. In the same complex as the new Hanuman, the Darwin Entertainment Centre has redeveloped its front facade and created the Stars Deck, an indoor-outdoor bar that opened in October and caters for the theatre-going crowd. Downstairs, there's a new branch of the respected central Australian indigenous art retailer Mbantua Fine Art Gallery, representing the artists of the Utopia region.Across the road, the Noodle House has expanded from its Knuckey Street origins into bigger and more salubrious premises. Inside it's cool and dark with glowing pendant lights. The menu offers the same favourites as the first Noodle House, as well as the house specialty, steamed chicken and rice.Also in Mitchell Street is the $29m Crocosaurus Cove, which will bring saltwater crocodiles and reptile displays, with associated shops, to the CBD.One street over, in Smith Street, the long-awaited Chinatown development has so far provided only extra parking and Signatures cafe, which is building a strong clientele of workers grateful for another lunch option. But Chinatown stage two, a couple of years away yet, promises to celebrate Darwin's Chinese heritage with a range of eateries and shops.Even Smith Street Mall has changed. Paspaley Pearls has relocated into a lavish, mall-side showroom. New retailers in or near the mall include RM Williams and several boutiques selling designer gear: Epiphany for clothes, The Bungalow and Lotus Life Concepts for accessories and homewares.Come this time next year, Darwin will also have a new convention centre, wave lagoon and public spaces as part of the dramatic redevelopment of its waterfront. Troppo Architects has been chosen to design the restaurant that will be a focal point for the waterfront project and, it is hoped, Darwin's food scene. Meanwhile, everywhere you look, the cranes stand out against the skyline. It's almost as if the city is being rebuilt a third time.

Top End locals mostly experience tropical downpours from their backyards and verandahs. Visitors can replicate that local feeling at a number of restaurants and bars that have broad verandahs or paved outdoor areas with enough shelter to keep you dry – most of the time, at least. To see a storm coming in over the sea, try Crustaceans on the Wharf, Pee Wee's at the Point, Evoo at Skycity Darwin or the Turtle Bar at the Beachfront Hotel, Rapid Creek. For an "at home in the tropics" vibe, go to Char Restaurant @ Admiralty or Essence at the Airport Resort, where a heavy downpour will create a cool mist that envelops outdoor diners.Window on the Wetlands, which is less than an hour's drive south of Darwin, allows you to see storms rolling steadily in over a dramatic floodplain. One of the best spots to spend a humid afternoon is Nightcliff Swimming Pool, set on a clifftop by the sea and cooled by fresh breezes. You can keep swimming even when it's raining – an unusual and surprisingly pleasant experience – but you will have to leave the water if lightning gets close.

If you ask Michael Bisping, he is far and away the No. 1 middleweight contender to UFC champion Anderson Silva.
It's not Chris Weidman. It's not Vitor Belfort, whom Bisping is about to fight. It's not Tim Boetsch or Alan Belcher.
Oh, and it's certainly not that guy with a Strikeforce belt around his waist… Luke Rockhold.
More MMA
"Luke Rockhold? By all accounts he and Lorenz Larkin should fight and the winner of that fight — if not both of them — go over to the UFC," said Bisping on Thursday night's edition of MMA Uncensored Live on Spike TV.
"Are they gonna come over and be number one contenders? Are they gonna come in and take the belt? I don't think so. You're in Strikeforce, come over to the UFC and earn your place."
As a matter of fact… yes fact… Bisping believes Rockhold's belt rightfully belongs around his waist.
"Let me put it like this," said the brash Brit. "I've sparred with Luke Rockhold recently and let's just say, I'm the unofficial Strikeforce champion.
"These are the facts."

LOL!!! Gotta give this guy some credit for actually believing the garbage that comes out of his mouth
haha this is hilarious, he must have read and took every lesson he learned in chael sonnens truth talking 101 to heart
I like Bisping more and more. Entertaining both in and out of the octogan
i think bisping has hanging out with nick diaz, hes clearly smoking something.
no, cause if he was hanging with diaz he would actually know how to fight.
He doesn't know how to fight? That's just stupid.
Bisping chaelling his name into the conversation. Whateves.
Bisping is wrong. I just declared myself the unofficial Strikeforce Champion. And I'm retiring undefeated at 0-0.
He deserves a shot before Weidman does…
Rashad said the same thing about Jon jones he was wrong
So, he wants the interim belt and strikeforce belt? He's getting desperate. Lets get him a cardboard cut out belt to shut him up until Belfort lays him out
I don't care for Bisping but the guy was on TV joking around. Don't think he was serious, just ragging on Rockhold and saying he thinks he is in line for a shot at the belt ahead of him, which I 100% agree with. Rockhold is a good guy and I'd be rooting for him to whoop Bisping's ass, but A) I don't think it would happen and B) he needs to fight someone else in the UFC before he even deserves a shot at Bisping, let alone the belt. I'm disappointed Strikeforce is going under, but lets be honest, it was a proving ground for guys who wanted to be in the big show all along. Anybody who says they were content being in Strikeforce is either lying or scared, in my opinion.
i just sparred with floyd mayweather, im the unoffical pound for pound king of boxing… Bisping would get throttled by Rockhold and get sent home crying back home to Britian just as he did when Henderson taught him about circling to the left.
love how bisping talks all the crap about how he deserves a title shot but every time he is in a number 1 contender fight he either gets ko'ed or doesnt do enough to get the dec. the only fighters he has fought that were ranked top 10 very hendo wandi and chael
I wonder what Luke is thinking about this.
lol I love Bisping. Such a character. And he is right. Guys cant just come over to the UFC and think their top contenders even if their the champs. There is a long list of guys in the UFC to go through to earn your spot. Bisping has been fighting in the UFC for years now and only has losses to the best and only been finished once. Luke R vs Belcher would be a sick fight though IMO and Lorenz Larkin vs Vitor Belfort.
Hate him if you want, but Bisping is the No1 contender.
LOL. Bisping chanelling his inner-Chael!
He may be the "unofficial" Strikeforce champion, but he's the official UFC douchebag.
Bisping: King Nothing

Ain't it funny how time flies?
We all say that. In fact, the meaning can vary. Consider how, say, 50 Cent or Janet Jackson use it.
For lawmakers in the state capitol - time flew right past them and into the record books when they failed this week to reach a deal on how to close California's $19 billion deficit.
Friday will mark the 79th day the state has gone without a resolution to its annual spending plan. The last record was set two years ago at 78 days.
"We are not proud of the fact that this is the latest we've gone without passing a budget," said the governor's spokesperson Aaron McLear. "We don't want this be the latest we've gone without signing the budget."
Well, they'd better hurry. The latest that a California governor has signed a budget is Sept. 23. That's next Thursday.
So, with their project incomplete and their clients (that's us) waiting for the end result, the lawmakers are working overtime to get a deal, right? Well, maybe.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento, who leads Democrats in the state Senate, hinted that legislative leaders could work through the weekend.
Hey folks, why don't you lock yourselves in a room and get this done? As Miss Jackson sings:
But time never ends
Let's find the time to get together once again
Someday soon
Yes, soon. Please.
