Photo: Associated Press In this image taken on February 18, 2013, traditional Irish coffee is served in glass mugs as shown in Concord, N.H. Coffee, Irish whiskey and cream. Taken separately they're a tasty trio. But combine them just the right way and in just the right proportions and they get even better, transforming into a drink that can perk up the grayest day. We're talking Irish coffee, of course, a drink that's especially popular around St. Patrick's Day, but good any time you want to add some zing to your caffeine. The secret, said Larry Silva, general manager of the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco — the original source of the drink in the U.S — is how you put the drink together. The cafe serves up 2,000 Irish coffees a day. Take that, green beer. At the Buena Vista, Irish coffee starts with a stemmed, 6-ounce glass that's been preheated with hot water. And both of those elements are critical. A bigger or smaller glass would throw off the coffee-booze balance. A cold glass results in a tepid cocktail. For a touch of sweetness, the Buena Vista recipe adds two cubes of sugar, though other recipes call for brown sugar. The cream, meanwhile, should be fresh and just slightly whipped — nothing from an aerosol can. As for the whiskey, in general, what you are seeking is a smooth whiskey that won't fight with the other flavors, said Silva. This isn't the time to pull out that peaty Scotch. But don't be afraid to use something good. "Using a premium spirit elevates any cocktail," said John Concannon, a California vintner who has teamed with Ireland's Cooley Distillery to develop Concannon Irish Whiskey, which also makes a good Irish coffee. Though it seems likely people have been introducing a drop or two of whiskey into coffee for a while, the drink as a cocktail was popularized in Ireland at the Foynes port, precursor to Shannon Airport, in the 1940s when chef Joe Sheridan decided to pep up some coffee with Irish whiskey to cheer chilly travelers. The drink was much appreciated and one of the passengers is said to have asked, "Was that Brazilian coffee?" Sheridan jokingly answered, "No, that was Irish Coffee," and a tradition was born. San Francisco newspaperman Stanton Delaplane tried the coffee while flying from Shannon Airport in 1952 and on his return got together with Jack Koeppler, then-owner of the Buena Vista, to recreate the drink. The trickiest part was getting the cream to float on top, something that was solved by whipping the cream just a bit, then pouring it carefully over the back of a spoon into the cup. Looking to brew a little Irish cheer yourself this St. Patrick's Day? Try this classic recipe, or the chocolate-laced variation. Irish coffee Depending on which version of the "original" Irish coffee you subscribe to, it is sweetened with either 2 sugar cubes or 1 teaspoon brown sugar. For a rich and chocolaty take on Irish coffee, stir 2 tablespoons of milk chocolate bits into the coffee at the same time as the sugar. Once the chocolate bits have melted, proceed with the recipe. Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 1 Boiling water Hot coffee 2 sugar cubes or 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey 1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream, lightly beaten (but still pourable) Fill a large coffee cup with boiling water to preheat it. Let it stand for about 1 minute, then empty the glass. Fill the glass three-quarters full with hot coffee. Add the sugar, then stir until dissolved. Stir in the whiskey. Top the coffee-whiskey blend with the lightly whipped cream. To do this, hold an overturned spoon over the coffee, then slowly pour the cream over it. The goal is for the cream to float on top of the coffee; do not mix it in. Part of the Irish coffee experience is drinking the hot coffee through a layer of cool cream. Recipe adapted from The Buena Vista Cafe, San Francisco

Twas a perfect day for a fresh air wintry stroll. The sun arose in the sky and was time to take in a different view of The Lake District than getting high on the mountains. I realised that it had been a while since I took the time to walk around one of the lakes themselves. Off I headed to Keswick, the start point of an old favourite, Derwentwater. A perfect length, about 10 miles around, for a days casual walk and with variety all the way.
Clockwise this time I thought and off I trundled down to the waters side and beginning at the touristy bit. Hope park to the right with frozen pitch and put and cray golf courses and then the water reveals itself. Calm and quiet, so far removed from a busy Summer's day when the masses come to this corner of the lake. Quiet, still, mountain tops reflected in the lake.. Today was going to be a good day.
A mile or so after starting off the tourist track turns to a pleasant nature path for those that want to take in some miles along the shores. Grassy inlets, wooded tracks, pebble beaches. Crags rising high to the left signalling you are into Borrowdale as over the Lake and refected within the line of peaks known as 'catbells' rise up.
Today I had views all down the valley to see Castle Crag rising proud and dramatically before Scafell range. This walk is one of those must do in each season ones. The Summer for instance has the beauty and green of Borrowdale in bloom. The bottom end of the lake is signalled by Lodore Falls Hotel, this is where you keep an eye of for the gate on the right, a turn into more extreme beauty, away from the road completely. The new bridge over the River Derwent and sturdy walkway over the swampy surrounds are true signs that this walk and side of the lake has been made truly accessible for wheelchairs and prams. This area in the South West corner, underneath Catbells, a marvel on the eye and underfoot. Woodlands, marshes, sandy shores and birds of all kinds everywhere, even deer apparently but I have not yet seen one. The area is called Brandlehow, the first piece of land ever bought by the National Trust (1904). All made possible by donations at the time to stop it being turned into a housing development. The way things could have swung eh?
In fact this whole side of Derwentwater, heading North with the lake on the right hand side, is a blissful walk. Skiddaw and Blancathra rising high above Keswick ahead. Today with a snowfall on their peaks pointing into the blue sky. I took my time on the way back round to Keswick, I was in escapism mode, and not high up for a change, and I darn well loved it.

Just booked a mini break for late Jan to do this walk – well almost. Not there for long so need to do cat bells as well. Can't wait! Would be great to have the weather you had on the day you took those beautiful pics.
Probably one of my most favourite places in the lake district, those pictures have captured the essence brilliantly.
In fact I'm asking myself why I'm not there right now.
Beautiful photos from one of the worlds most beautiful places. Thank you for taking us on this tour of Derwentwater.

iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial
CmdrTaco posted more than 10 years ago | from the but-thats-so-tiny dept.494
sdimbert writes "Rumors of a new, smaller, "iPodJr" have been floating around the Rumor Sites for a few weeks (as well a here at Slashdot). But now, the rumors have gained credibility and become more substantial. London's Evening Standard reports today (30 Dec 03) that "Apple has announced a cut-price mini version" of the iPod, "costing 65 [~115 USD], which will be able to store 800 songs." Despite the assertion that Apple "announced" the product, there is no mention of it at their official News Page or their product page for the iPod."

If this 1936 Ford coupe looks familiar, it should, and not just because of its obvious Westergard influence, or its similarity to the Calori or Jon Fisher coupes. It's because you've seen this car on the pages of Rod & Custom before-at the bare metal stage. Subscribers even saw it on the cover. This time, however, it's finished, it has racked up some mileage under its tires, and the teething problems have been ironed out. At least owner John Mearns would like to think they have.
We're not sure he could stand pulling it apart even one more time. "Everyone [who's worked on it] hates this car," he told us. "It seems cursed! The 'rebuilt' 265 Chevy engine originally fitted lasted 2,000 miles, then only 800 miles after the second rebuild." Of course swapping it out meant stripping all the front sheetmetal from the now-finished and painted coupe. "That's when I replaced it with a fresh 327 from Taylor Engines and I haven't had any trouble since. The trans has been rebuilt too since it's been on the road, and the power steering rack had to be replaced." John hastened to add that none of the problems were in any way the fault of anyone who worked on the car, but were down to parts he supplied. He also didn't mention the first roof chop, which very nearly saw the project stop before it got underway.
We won't repeat what we wrote about the car in that bare metal feature back in June 2008, but after John had the roof chopped, badly, by an un-named shop, he could barely look at the coupe for over six months. Then he struck up a conversation with Jeb Scolman, of Jeb's Metal & Speed, at the airport terminal on the return leg of a trip to the Mooneyes show in Yokohama in 2006, during which Scolman agreed to come over and look at the coupe. With John keen to get the project back on track, Scolman, with his usual calm and calculated demeanor, said, "Let's fix the chop. If we can do that we'll do the rest."
Of course you know "the rest" as the coupe stayed with Scolman until it went to the paint shop. It was the first full build Scolman undertook when he branched out on his own under the Jeb's Metal & Speed moniker.
With John taking on the role of designer/architect and Scolman tasked with executing the ideas that formulated from their discussions, the goal was to build a car that was at a glance a late '40s or early '50s Westergard-style car, but one that was not a dead copy of anyone else's car out there. That's not easy because there is a pretty narrow design path to follow or you run the risk of having it look too modern or not fit the genre. "We used styling cues from the Calori coupe, Jon Fisher's car, and some others we saw along the way, whose owners are unknown to us."
Inspiration also came at shows. For instance, John and Scolman were walking the rows of cars at the Lone Star Roundup when they spied an old Ford '36 three-window coupe that had '34 Chevy hood sides with its nose protruding from the cars around it. The long horizontal twin louvers on the hood sides immediately grabbed their attention and the decision was made right then to do the same. John sourced a complete hood on their return from Texas, and in a twist of fate, it turned out to be from a Master DeLuxe, which has three rows of louvers and still had the stainless trim intact. Until that point, John was unaware of this trim option, as the hood he'd seen in Austin had been from a standard coupe. Of course, those trim pieces suit the style of the '36 perfectly!

Breaking news, come and get it!
eTalk was the first to announce that Selena Gomez will be hosting We Day Vancouver! On October 22, thousands of students and educators will fill Rogers Arena to celebrate world change. It's going to be the coolest field trip EVER, and we're so grateful that Selena is joining us for her second We Day, this time as host!
Last year, Selena hit the We Day California stage to share her personal story and hopes with 16,000 youth. "All I really want you to know is that you are changing the world," she told a screaming crowd. "I'm not changing the world, you're changing the world, and that's amazing!"

And here is a livestream
NEW YORK (May 29, 2014) – Actress, multi-platinum recording artist and UNICEF Ambassador Selena Gomez just returned from a visit to Nepal, where she traveled to bring attention to children in need within the country and across the globe. During her trip, Gomez saw firsthand the impact of UNICEF's programs that help children survive and develop. She had an in-depth look at UNICEF's work focused on education, nutrition, health and protection.
"This visit to Nepal was extraordinarily powerful—at times, devastating and heartbreaking, but also incredibly inspiring," said Selena Gomez. "At first when you witness children living in extreme poverty you wonder how it is possible that they can be deprived of their basic human needs and rights. Then you talk to these children and you see hope, promise and a bright future. This generation of children believes they can make a difference, and they take action. It starts with quality education and leadership opportunities, like those UNICEF is providing. I'm so proud to serve as a UNICEF Ambassador and be part of a greater movement to help the world's children."
During her trip, Gomez visited the child-friendly Satbariya Rapti Secondary School, supported by UNICEF, that has a safe, interactive, creative and fun learning environment for students. After observing children studying math, science and language, she sat down with members of a 'child club.'
"It was amazing to learn from these young boys and girls about how they are influencing their peers as well as adults on issues that have an impact on their lives," said Gomez. "Many of the children I talked to expressed a desire to be future leaders in their society, and I was moved to hear them emphasize the importance of education."
Music was in the air at the Satbariya school as the child club members broke into a Nepali folk song, playing musical instruments presented to them as a gift by Gomez. She later joined students as they performed traditional dances of the Tharu community.
Gomez met UNICEF-supported Female Community Health Volunteers in Gangaparaspur Village and learned about their efforts to reduce illness and death among children and mothers. "It was incredible to learn about the services being provided by these volunteers. They're dedicating their time to helping women stay healthy during pregnancy and deliver their babies in a safe environment," said Gomez.
In Hapur Village, Gomez met with the women of the Paralegal Committee and the Gender-Based Violence Watch Group who mediate cases of conflict, divorce, domestic violence, child abuse and more. Gomez spoke with a couple of survivors who had been helped by the Committee. Later that day in Dokrena/Khaira Village, Gomez interacted with youth and came to learn how they act as change-agents in their communities, spreading the message about the importance of sanitation facilities and hygiene. Gomez saw these adolescents perform a skit about sanitation and practiced proper hand-washing techniques with them.
In the village of Kohalpur, Gomez met with young people who had been recruited into the armed conflict that ended eight years ago and learned how, with UNICEF's support, they reintegrated back into their families and society. "It was difficult to hear about the harsh lives these girls led in the camps, but I was inspired by their motivation to build a better future," said Gomez.
Calling the trip an "eye-opener," Gomez said, "The children of Nepal have taught me that with a lot of passion, optimism and hard work, anything is possible. That's the message I would like to convey to young people across the world: Believe in your dreams and pursue them."
Selena Gomez is a recording artist, actress and designer. A UNICEF Ambassador since 2009, Gomez has played an active role in advocating for the world's most vulnerable children by participating in numerous campaigns, events, and initiatives on behalf of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, including headlining charity concerts and serving as a previous spokesperson for the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. This was Gomez's third trip on behalf of UNICEF. She previously visited Ghana and Chile.

Selena Gomez has just hired a brand-new management team!
After parting ways with her mom and stepdad, Mandy and Brian Teefeyearlier this month, the 21-year-old actress has signed with WME and will be represented by new managers at Brillstein, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Selena's big move is signaling a shift to try and find more adult projects likeSpring Breakers rather than the Disney fare that she is known for.

It sounds like Selena Gomez can be secure in the knowledge that she has a loyal, concerned friend in Demi Lovato.
The fellow pop stars and former Disney Channel princesses had dinner together just last night in L.A., the pair enjoying a girls' night out hours after Selena's ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber was arrested for alleged DUI in Miami.
So, how is Selena doing now that the aftermath-spotlight is inevitably following her around as well, considering her history with Justin?
"We're really, really close," Demi said of Selena, talking to On Air With Ryan Seacrest tonight at the KIIS-FM pre-Grammys party, one of the bashes leading up to Sunday's Grammy Awards.
"And," Demi added, "any advice I had for her, we talked last night and—you know—it's between us. But I love her so much."
The longtime pals have known each other since the child-actor audition circuit back when they were little girls.
"We have an incredible friendship," Demi continued. Selena "is strong! She's doing really well right now!"
The "Skyscraper" singer, whose hair is currently dyed a perky pink, also agreed that Selena is looking great. "She's doing really well right now and I'm really happy for her," Demi said.

Selena Gomez says working on her film "Rudderless" that's debuting at Sundance — and even dodging paparazzi at the indie film festival — has been an escape from "the everyday madness that I've got to go through."
"I could just wear my own clothes and not have to worry about anything and just be with these cool people," Gomez said in an interview Monday alongside actor-turned-director William H. Macy and the film's star, Billy Crudup.
Macy picked Gomez for a small part in his music-filled directorial debut after seeing her in "Spring Breakers" last year.
"I was stoked," Gomez said. "I was about to go on tour and I knew it was going to be a year long. I kind of get this panic attack when I know I'm not going to be on a set for a year. Just because I do love both a lot."
So the panic attacks subsided after stepping on set with the cast that includes Anton Yelchin, Felicity Huffman and Laurence Fishburne? "Yeah, what does that say about me actually?" Gomez said, laughing. "That's exactly what happened. It felt good. It felt like I got to be just in that world and kind of step out of it all."
The film revolves around a father who discovers his son's musical talents — and then some of his own musicality — after his son's death.
When asked when Gomez found her musical talent, she said, "I don't think I have yet.
"No, I'm actually serious," she said, as Crudup laughed next to her. ""I started music when I was 14. And I had like four Number 1 club songs before I was even allowed in a club. So I think that journey still kind of is happening for me. . I've never really had the opportunity to share a lot of that side of myself through lyrical content. So that's stuff that I get to explore later."
"Rudderless" is set to premiere Friday as the festival's closing night film.

Selena Gomezs star may have risen through her work on the Disney channel and her pop music, but it's no accident most of her movie career has been more independent than mainstream.
"I'm just drawn to this kind of stuff," Gomez told me last night at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was promoting her latest film, Rudderless. "There's a sense of freedom that I'm given in the indie world where I can just go and play and be a part of a really great cast. These crews, they really love what they're doing. That's just fun to be able to step into."
In Rudderless, a father discovers his deceased son's demo tapes and lyrics. He forms a band to play the music to help him heal. Gomez play's the son's girlfriend.
"It's pretty dark," Gomez said, adding, "She's in a lot of pain. She's angry. "
Gomez says it's not hard for her to go those dark places.
"I find myself comfortable in that stuff—I don't know what that says about me," she said. "It's a good contrast to what I am all the time and being on tour and all that life."
She shot her work in just eight days.
"I was about to go on tour," Gomez said. "I get anxiety when I know I'm going to be off a set for a while so I rushed there."
Gomez first showed her indie chops in Spring Breakers, the 2012 hit in which she plays one of four college girls who get involved with a drug dealer while on spring vacation. In the film, Gomez is seen dancing around in her underwear and doing drugs.

Selena Gomez had a great 2013, and one of her milestone moments was turning 21! But to her dismay, the first time she went out to a bar she didn't get carded.
Backstage at #Z100JingleBall, she told JJ that when she goes out, she prefers a glass of wine or Jack and Coke.
When JJ asked about some of the negative responses to her single "Come And Get It," she said, "I think people can't handle growing up," adding, "I'm getting older and I'm confident in myself."
Selena went on to talk about how she's not one to talk badly about other female artists, "Everybody has their own thing… there's so much room for everyone."

Thanksgiving is a time of year to reflect on what we're thankful for and give back. For Vanessa Hudgens, that includes being inspired by her longtime pal Selena Gomez to get involved with UNICEF this year.
"Selena loves working with UNICEF so much. She is just such a beautiful, stunning person on the inside with all that she does. I see how much she cares about the kids and how they've really touched her life," Hudgens revealed to omg!. "I was aware of UNICEF and their amazing deeds and I was excited to take part, as well."
The 24-year-old actress is starring in a new PSA for UNICEF's "There for the Philippines" campaign — which supports the immediate and long-term relief efforts for children and families whose lives were upended by Super Typhoon Haiyan — and has an important message this holiday season about helping others in need.
"It is simple. We all have moments where we need help. Right now the Philippines is at a time where they need our help more than ever," Hudgens shared. "Typhoon Haiyan was something that really affected me. I am part Filipino and I just feel like I have a connection there and I love kids. I dropped everything I was doing and rushed over and did the PSA."
On Thursday, the brunette stunner tells omg! that she'll head to the Thanksgiving table with her friends. "I am so fortunate right now that I have a bunch of friends who are super welcoming me into their homes and into their families for Thanksgiving."
But she emphasized that the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan won't be far from her thoughts. "Anything can you give, it is a blessing that will come back to you two-fold."

Everybody loves a princess.
When a young boy named Sam asked his father for a DVD of Sofia the First – an animated series voiced by Modern Family's Ariel Winter about a 7-year-old girl about to become a princess – a touching story unfolded in line to check out at a Walmart.
Sam's dad wrote about the experience on Facebook and his post ended up on Reddit, where it quickly went viral.
"So, here's how Sam became the proud owner of Sofia the First DVD," he writes. "On Saturday, the kids and I headed to Wal-Mart to get diapers, before picking up Erin at the Fine Arts Center. We are in line, and there is a display of Sofia DVDs next to the line. Sam says, 'Oh boy,Sofia the First … I love Sofia the First … can I get this movie?' "
"And I say, 'No Sam, we have more than enough movies right now' … which is very true. Then the following dialogue: MORON IN GAMECOCK POLO SHIRT AND BRAIDED BELT: 'And those are girl movies … you don't want to grow up like a mommy, you want to grow up to be like daddy.' "
Sam's dad continues, "ME: 'Actually, I just want him to grow up to be whatever he is supposed to be … and if that's a boy that likes princess movies then great.' MORON: 'You don't think that will make him funny.' ME: 'I sure hope so.'
"MORON: 'I don't mean that kind of funny, I mean he might like other boys.' ME: 'And I'd love him just as much … and he'd probably smell better as a teenager.' "
Sam's dad explains that the "Moron" then moved to another line.
Then, he writes, "OLD LADY behind me in line: 'Let me buy that movie for him. You just made my day.' And that is how Sam came to own Sofia the First."

Linen should be stored in a
cupboard that allows for air circulation, as linen is subject to mildew. It
should be stored away from direct heat. Do not put damp linen in a plastic bag,
as it will trap moisture. Do not store linen in a cedar chest, as the cedar oil
vapor will damage the linen. Linen is subject to damage from moths and
insects. If your linens have small holes in them, insect damage is the likely
culprit. Linen should be stored with a
lavender sachet, as lavender is a natural moth and insect repellent.
Rub the stained area with glycerin. This loosens the grease before applying liquid shampoo. After 15 minutes rinse and, if the stain is still present, pour boiling water through the area.
Soak immediately in cold water, then apply glycerin and rinse with cold water. Next, rinse the cloth with vinegar and rub with a liquid detergent. Wait fifteen minutes before rinsing again. A little salt paste can be added at the end before rinsing. If the stain is old, try using club soda.
Linen should be washed in hot water and left to dry naturally. Do not dry linen in the dryer. Never use bleach on linen, as it will damage the fiber. Use an oxygen-type cleaner instead. Linen can be ironed when slightly damp, and such takes a lot of the hard work out of ironing linen. If the linen is too dry, then spray it down with water from a sprayer bottle. This will relax the fiber, making it easier to iron. Never iron a fold into a linen. Always place a fold with the fingertips. Ironing in a fold will damage and eventually tear the linen.
A PDF booklet with information on how to wash, iron, and store Altar Linens is included with any purchase. After your purchase you will recieve a link with the Order Confirmation.

Arizona Cardinals
How did the Arizona Cardinals spend their bye week?
The bye week came at a much-needed time for the Arizona Cardinals.
While the Redbirds certainly limped into their Week 10 hiatus on the heels of a five-game losing streak, not all of their time off was spent on the practice field.
The Cardinals got back to the fundamentals this week, but after Thursday's practice the team was given the weekend off to regroup.
Since the hectic 17-week season keeps players away from their families during the holiday season, any time an extended reprieve from the field is granted, everyone jumps at the opportunity.
Here's a taste of what members of the Cardinals were doing with their respective weekends:
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett kept tabs on some of the top-ranked teams in college football.
Boston college was not trying to beat Notre Dame!! But oh we'll!— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) November 11, 2012
Kicker Jay Feely happily played the role of cheerleader on the sidelines of his daughters' soccer games.
My girls rocked their soccer games this weekend! Awesome to be there. Abby-3 goals, Olivia-8 goalsLexi- amazing game at goalie#Proud Dad— Jay Feely (@jayfeely) November 11, 2012
Punter Dave Zastudil returned to his hometown of Cleveland to spend some quality time with family.

Starting quarterback John Skelton returned to his alma mater Fordham University. And while the Rams defeated Lafayette 36-27, Skelton admittedly missed the Arizona sun.
Back in NY... But nothing beats AZ weather this time of year. Cold and snow on the ground at JFK.— John Skelton (@johnskelton19) November 8, 2012
But leave it to Larry Fitzgerald to have the most fun-filled weekend. He spent his time off with strength coach John Lott at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.
Spent some time today with Coach Lott and his family at Disneyland! bit.ly/SDL4Sr— Larry Fitzgerald (@LarryFitzgerald) November 10, 2012
Arizona returns to the practice field on Monday. They will travel to Atlanta next Sunday to take on an 8-1 Falcons squad.

Since the founding of Sicklebill Safaris in 1998 Phil has led well over
30 trips to Papua New Guinea, these have ranged
from private clients with particular needs such as family groups,
parrot enthusiasts and photographers, to hard core world listers.
A truly impressive list of birds has been seen. These have included
26 species of bird of paradise including Brown, Black, Buff-tailed and Pale-billed Sicklebills, Princess Stephanie's and Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, Carola's, Wahnes' and Lawes Parotia, Blue, King-of-Saxony, Greater, Lesser, Emperor, Crested and King Bird of Paradise. We have also seen such marvels as New Guinea Harpy Eagle, Victoria and Southern Crowned Pigeons, Flame Bowerbird, Long-billed Cuckoo, Shovel billed Kingfisher, Superb, Red-bellied and Hooded Pittas, 5 species of Paradise-Kingfisher and many more. Additional highlights included Fire-maned Bowerbird, New Britain Bronzewing, Nicobar Pigeon, Bismarck Boobook and an undescribed species of Microeca Flycatcher.
We have unrivalled experience in the Bismarck (New Britain and New Ireland) and Admiralty Islands (Manus) where over 50 endemics can await the intrepid birder including Black, Finsch's, Grey and Red-knobbed Imperial-Pigeons, Violaceous and White-necked Coucals, Black-headed Paradise, White-mantled and Bismarck Kingfishers, Meek's Pygmy-Parrot, Superb Pitta, Bismarck, New Britian and Manus Boobook Owls, Bismarck and Admiralty Pied Monarchs, Rufous-faced Thicket-warbler and Manus Rufous Fantail.
Since the peace settlement we have been able to lead several
trips to Bougainville seeing such great species as Sanford's Sea-eagle, Woodford's Rail, Solomon's Boobook, Bougainville Monarch, Bougainville Crow, Ultramarine Kingfisher, Duchess Lorikeet, Pied Goshawk and Claret-breasted Fruit Dove.
From our beginnings in New Guinea it
was logical that we expand and branch out to cover the whole of the
Pacific area. Our guides are, between them, arguably the most
experienced tour leaders in this region and we can offer tours to suit
all ages, budgets and birding needs. Our current tour catalogue (see
the link below) gives some idea of the areas we cover and some of the
birds you can see on the various tours. Feel free to enquire about the
possibilities of any other areas you are interested in as we may be
able to help you there. We have world wide experience and even if we
cannot take you ourselves can often recommend itineraries and guides
for you to contact. Please also feel free to ask about our specially
customised tours which link birding to other interest. For example we
have run PNG trips which combine birds with looking at the local
culture and orchids.
Phil Gregory: Phil has been interested in birds since the demise of the steam trains at about age 11. Born in England he first came to Australia in 1977 with the intention of staying but got sidetracked, and spent the next twenty years living and birding in Nigeria, Zambia, the Falkland Islands and Papua New Guinea. He was for several years the editor of Muruk, the journal of the Papua New Guinea Ornithological Society and is the author of The Birds of the Ok Tedi Region and several papers on Papua New Guinean birds. He is currently working on a Bird of Paradise and Bowerbird title for Pica Press.
Special interests include field identification, vocalisation, taxonomy and distribution. He has been guiding occasionly since his African days, and became full time in 1998 when he sidestepped the joys of being an international school principal which he found was seriously impeding his birding. He now leads several tours a year throughout the Pacific Region and has recently resumed his tour leading in Africa.
Dr Guy Dutson:
Guy Dutson is a world authority on Pacific birds and has led many tours to the region. He established and ran the BirdLife International Pacific programme from 2000-2005, being based in the U.K. and Fiji. Working for BirdLife and as a tour leader enabled him to visit most of the Pacific islands as well as many Asian and African countries. Before working for BirdLife he spent a year researching birds of Melanesia (PNG to New Caledonia) for a forthcoming field guide and series of papers.
His interest in the region was ignited when he led a Cambridge University expedition to PNG and the Solomon islands in 1990, which included putting the Superb Pitta on the map. His university expeditions took him repeatedly to the Philippines and Indonesia, rediscovering the Cebu Flowerpecker and Tanahjampea Monarch. In a previous life as a veterinarian, he worked in the UK, Ethiopia and South Africa. He wrote most of the Pacific Islands species in BirdLife's book Threatened Birds of the World and edits these species for the Handbook of the Birds of the World. He is now busy writing several papers describing and splitting South Pacific Species. He pioneered tours to the Solomon Islands where he has unrivalled experience and local contacts to find the rarest birds. His many tours to PNG have been notable for their high number of species seen and he's not too bad at finding owlet-nightjars.

My Little Inkmaster
Amber is the minion I feel like I have the least influence over. Then I catch her practicing her lettering and drawing tattoo designs while we all watch one of our very favorite shows – Ink Master.
Today, as my 10-year-old lamented spending his $53 on the wrong gadget, I "joked" that he should have spent it on someone less fortunate.
"Like who?" he asked, "a poor kid".
He sat for a second and said "Dad. I've never seen a poor person".

William Henry Davies

George Sullivan
'Sheep' by W H Davies, submitted by George Sullivan 12 Nov 13
WHEN I was once in Baltimore,
A man came up to me and cried,
"Come, I have eighteen hundred sheep,
And we will sail on Tuesday's tide.
"If you will sail with me, young man,
I'll pay you fifty shillings down;
These eighteen hundred sheep I take
From Baltimore to Glasgow town."
He paid me fifty shillings down,
I sailed with eighteen hundred sheep;
We soon had cleared the harbour's mouth,
We soon were in the salt sea deep.
The first night we were out at sea
Those sheep were quiet in their mind;
The second night they cried with fear —
They smelt no pastures in the wind,
They sniffed, poor things, for their green fields,
They cried so loud I could not sleep:
For fifty thousand shillings down
I would not sail again with sheep.
Lefty Profane
The man could see a century into the future. What a pitch perfect description of the Obama economic plan: Poor men need not go up so much as rich men should come down. Shared misery. Amen.
George Sullivan

Panetta Headed for Far East
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will soon be traveling to China and Japan, amid escalating tensions in the region including tussles over several disputed islands in the East China Sea. This will be Panetta's third trip to Asia in 11 months, reflecting the Pentagon's ongoing shift to putting more military focus on the Pacific region. The trip will also include a stop in New Zealand.
Panetta's stop in Japan is also likely to include discussions about the deployment of V-22 Ospreys there.

This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Last time during our class we spoke on the topic of online blog sites, especially focusing on the topic of "news" and we enthusiastically spoke of the vast transformation filters, platforms such as blogs have provided…
Now we started off with the acknowledgement of news as having a stronger cultural burden to be about the dissemination of facts BUT at the same time, it's yearning to be aesthetically and emotionally attractive.THUS news doesn't always simply convey factual data.
1. Authority
The credibility of news sources, seems to be given to the already well-known news giants, but within the social realm of news credibility is somewhat dependent on popularity of the particular user, for example on Facebook there are people who regularly post or actively share articles on their wall, ie. peer influence
2. Speed/time/amount:
The sheer amount and speed of information or news:
An analogy from Anthony Giddens given in class got me thinking: 'in pre modern times, people struggled to gather food, but now Giddens puts it, the word "diet", is irrelevant because now in the affluent world everyone is on a diet, watching out for an over abundance of food.
From a scarcity we have now shifted to a mode of constant consciousness about how much we intake, we are more aware of and aptly trained to question credibility of sources, a "pick n mix" approach to news has increased amidst this flood of news.
For example, choosing to follow certain people on Twitter shows how we cater what information we wish to be receiving.
This brings me to the next transformation we discussed, has the speed and instantaneous mode of news flow caused a "numbing" effect on us? Has this degraded the value we once held in news?
3. [News] values/ Newsworthiness
The online world has been constantly throwing complex questions towards the values of news.
Going back to the Giddens' analogy, has news morphed into an explosive food fight?
Are we just being 'thrown', and 'throwing at' one another news and not being able to properly digest it all? Luke mentioned the 'push versus pull' concept of news as a medium, it reminded me of my CNN phone app, to me of course, the constant notifications of "breaking news" which pops up like little text messages made it feel like a push medium, while the YouTube citizen journalists I follow such as Phillip Defranco ,
(here's a link to one of my favorites) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLE5XUDNHFE
To me Defranco makes news a pull medium, because he packages and presents news in a simple to follow and entertaining format.
5.Ubiquity: 'ambient journalism'/'ambient news'
Finally, all of the above ties into the question: Has news become background noise?
Lost in Communication
The scene that really struck me from the film, He's Just Not That Into You was of 'Mary' (played by Drew Barrymore), where she speaks of the problem in communication we are faced with today. I have the link to this very clip above, I recommend viewing before you read on!
I would like to call this syndrome the 'communication disorder,' a sense of confusion that is present in our lives due to the excessive methods of communication we have been bombarded with through different digital platforms, in addition to what now seems almost "archaic," the telephone. As you can see in the clip, Mary talks about having to go from voicemail, to email on blackberry, to text and the endless number of portals, yet frustratingly being unable to reach true "verbal contact" which is still far from in-person communication.
I was reminded of this very clever and insightful point put across throughout this film, as we were carrying out an in-class experiment last week of putting together a 3-minute YouTube video on the theme of "my digital life." A segment of our groups video was devoted to the debatable advent of online communication, whether it has brought us into greater connection or if it has actually disconnected us, in a sense the level of fragmentation which is focal to the online experience (ie. cite: 'Mary').
Of course, I have experienced both ends of the spectrum, Facebook and KakaoTalk (instant messaging application for smartphones) have enabled me to be part of the lives of friends overseas but I can also deeply relate to Mary's frustration, of having to go from portal to portal and almost getting lost, or forgetting the very subject of communication in the process.
This brings me to the cover story of the Timemagazine I came across in 2009 (June 15th issue), which had a 6 page spread on Twitter, titled, quite ambitiously (this is my opinion) as, How Twitter Will Change The Way We Live (in 140 characters of less). My "pathetic" thus failed attempt at joining the Twittersphere may have rendered a doubtful impression on the claims of this article. However fast-forward a year and a half later, it seems that Twitter has undeniably taken the form of a strong tool for mass outreach, like a digital megaphone which can be heard on an immense geographical scale to bring together those who hear the message spoken through the "Twitter-me-phone" in 140 characters or less. Here I have the recent mass-political rallies brought together through Twitter in mind.
Steven Johnson, author of this article speaks of his skepticism at first, 'a communications platform that limited you to a couple of sentences at most. What was next? Software that let you send a single punctuation mark to describe your mood?'
So I'm left thinking, pondering, questioning about where all of this is headed…
Have online platforms brought us greater connectivity or fragmentation? Is it bliss? Bringing greater room for freedom of speech or simply the freedom to express? Or have they limited and confined us to a mere info page, status update or tweet?
"Confessions of a tech-savvy wannabe"
This being my first blog,
I just had to share this video and not just because I happen to like Sam Grobart's (featured tech reporter for the NY Times) sheer, yet irresistable dry humour, but because it encompasses so much of what I want to say.
Grobart's blatantly represented persona as "geek" with the bulgy glasses, short curly hair, knit with shirt collar, the classical music in the background and not to forget the absolute pinnacle of his geek persona, to pioneer the equation: 2xHB =MRUA.
This persona once shunned to the un-trendy borders of society, fast forward a couple of years and now we see the idea of "computer geek" completely born anew which I would like to argue as being updated to the attractive term: "tech savvy," (as Wiktionary kindly informs me), is a contraction of the term "high-tech savvy" ironically coined back in 1984.
At one point I was seriously suspicious about the whole origin of Apple's logo, if it's power is enough to make me drool over simply watching the promotional video of their next product (my newest infatuation, the iPad2), then could it by any chance be suspect to some unknown cult? Could the apple in Apple's logo be "the apple" which tempted Eve into selling over her soul to the devil? Luckily, my sheepish theory was found to be false and I now simply see it as fetishization.
But this deeply, (I want to say) "innate" desire to be "up-to-date," in attempt to avoid the horror of hearing "get with the times" from my freshman brother, I find doesn't just apply to technological gadgets but to all online activity in general. This includes social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, blogging and even smart phone applications like Skype or KakaoTalk and of course the list is inexhaustible.
This practice I find myself engaged in is perhaps a modern day example of what Jean Baudrillard was describing in The System of Objects as a 'dangerous drive conjured up by the neo sorcerors of consumption, this drive, not to liberate anybody with a rousing call to happiness rather, merely to resolve tensions, a freedom merely by default.' However, the new will be the new-old tommorrow, simply there is no possible way to keep up, yet I find myself in the vicious cycle of continuously striving to. A tension I seek to be liberated from, which has become my "dangerous drive."
Does that make me one of the millions that are prey to the all-consuming conglomerates out there?
I'm afraid the verdict is, yes.
So then my hopes of being tech-savvy under the reign of the neo sorcerors of consumption are probably lost. Commonly shared theory is, Apple has probably already made up to iPhone10 but are just taking our money one iPhone at a time.
As Jenkins puts it, we are perhaps just helplessly,
"hoping to get a glimpse of tomorrow before it's too late."

NHL, PSLs, BCS, and other Thankless Sports Issues
Thanks for Nothing, Sports
11/19/12 in NHL | Wards_Page | 248 respect
Thanksgiving is upon us, people. Time to count our collective blessings for such things as having a roof over your head, being gainfully employed, and the bounty that is Kate Upton. Depending on your rooting interests, there are also plenty of things to be thankful for when it comes to sports. But, unfortunately, there are just as many things to not be thankful for when it comes to our games. And isn't it just a little more fun to point out faults? Here's a short list of shortcomings in sports. As Maggie in Caddyshack would say, "Tanks fer nuttin'!"
NHL Lockout. Gary Bettman + Donald Fehr + Hundreds of unemployed hockey players and thousands more peripheral employees = absolute misery for hockey fans. There's plenty of blame to go round in these types of situations but, let's be honest, it's Gary Bettman's fault that the NHL season is slipping away.
Personal Seat Licenses. Thanks a pantful, NFL, for the single biggest ripoff in professional sports since the 9-dollar beer. Charging loyal fans thousands of dollars for the right to keep their season tickets is just f**ked. What the hell is a seat licence anyway? Does this mean if you have a seat license at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey you're entitled to sit in that seat when Bruce Springsteen plays there? No? Really? So what the hell is this license good for then?
BCS. Notre Dame is not the best team in college football. Not even close. Yet they appear destined to play for the National Championship. This sytem and its evil Hal 9000 computers cannot be put out to pasture soon enough.
ESPN. Roll call: Stuart Scott, Chris Berman, Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, Mike & Mike, Herm Edwards, Colin Cowherd. Matthew Berry, Suzy Kolber, Lee Corso, and a bunch of ex-jocks screaming at the top of their lungs at each other every Sunday morning. Please make it stop. Does anyone else see corporate arc similarities between ESPN and MTV. Neither is what it started as and both now suck.
Bud Selig. The Strom Thurmond of Major League Baseball, Buddy boy was supposed to reitre in 2009, then it was 2012, now it's 2014. Don't believe any of it. The owners are paying this dried out bag of bones upwards of $20-million per year. Why on earth would he keep his word when he's pulling down that much just to fill out a suit?
Rob Gronkowski's Broken Arm. No, I'm not a Pats fan but Gronkowski's like the only guy on my fantasy football team that I can count on week in and week out. I know it's selfish but with superstar receivers on teams that can't score like Larry Fitgerald, I was really counting on starting a two tight end offense the rest of the season with Gronk and Jimmy Graham. Oh well.
Fred and Jeff Wilpon. The inept father and son ownership team of the New York Mets. I won't even waste time laundry-listing their myriad crimes against the Mets and their fans. These two turkeys are strictly for the birds.
OK, sorry to burden everyone with the annual pre-Thanksgiving rage cleanse. I feel much better now. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
I have been all over the Queen Mary many times, and also have been involved in a few ghosts hunts, including one that was featured on Celebrity Ghost Stories. I always suggest to people to stay on board the ship, because you have access to many areas. It is one of my favorite places.
The Queen Mary was used as a set for many films, including Chaplin, SOS Titanic, and was the inspiration for the SS Poseidon used in the original Poseidon Adventure. The actual model of the SS Poseidon is nearby in San Pedro in the Maritime Museum.[Gene Murrell, 07/02/2014]
My husband used to be a tour guide for the Ghost & Legends Tour that is not meant to be scary, just hokey and fun. That tour is 35 minutes long. There used to be special effects 10+ years or more ago but the ship has gone through a lot of owners thru the years and the funds have not helped to improve what has broken down on that tour.
There is a more detailed haunted tour that is 1 hour long called the Haunted Encounters Tour. The Queen Mary is beautiful to visit day or night but due to vandalism in the last two years, you cannot get on the ship for free anymore. You have to pay a few dollars per person but that money can go towards eating at one of their restaurants.
During December they decorate the ship to show off its beauty.[Monica Threadgold, 05/23/2013]
B474 -- an extremely haunted room. Our night was terrifying![Mike Larson, 08/11/2011]
The Queen is worth a trip on her own. The views, the observation deck bar, the architecture and decor is fantastic The haunted tour? Not so much. Even though the ship has honest-to-goodness real ghost stories, the tour feel totally phony and has no real connection to the ship's history. It feels like a fourth-rate amusement park.[Raphael, 07/29/2010]
Dick Clark is suing the operator of the Queen Mary ocean liner, alleging that fraud and breach of contract prevented construction of a music-themed museum as part of a $150-million tourism project.... [04/27/2002] Complete News Story
