A Union's Difficult Balancing Act
It can get a little complicated for the union to make decisions. It's not uncommon to have situations where individuals or smaller groups within the bargaining unit have potentially conflicting interests. For example, two union-represented employees get into a fight. Each claims that the other started the fight. It can be hard for the union to sort out how to advocate for both of these union members' interests at the same time. Just as the larger society makes decisions that balance the interests of different groups—whether it's more fair to raise money by raising the income tax rate or the sales tax, for instance—so must our unions.
—Adapted from The Union Member's Complete Guide, by Michael Mauer

Lust and cruelty. Sep 13, 2010
by Sivvie
This beautifully costumed drama encompasses Mary Boleyn's story as well as her sister, Anne's. Scarlett Johansson plays her demurely, although from historical accounts, she was thought to be of loose morals. It is Anne (Natalie Portman) who is portrayed as the schemer, driving King Henry VIII wild with desire by remaining just out of his reach.
The whole film is imaginatively photographed while being disconcertingly pristine clean, so that the Boleyn girls' hair shines with what would appear to be modern conditioners, their clothes never appearing muddy, and Eric Bana as Henry being very well turned out, with a trim beard and well-cut hair. This does take away some of the ambience of the times when hygiene would have been very loosely adhered to. But a small carp, when the film is entertaining and competently acted. A stand-out performance is by David Morrissey as the Duke of Norfolk. His strong interpretation of the part gives the film a firm frame on which the drama can unfold.

Hi guys,
I am pretty new to WordPress and I have a question about creating a custom page template.
I successfully created a custom template and applied it to a page. But, it seems as though that this template (based on the way I created it) is specific to one page.
So, is this method generally used for a single page. For example is it best practice to create an 'about us' page template and apply it to the 'about us' page then create a 'gallery' page template and apply that to the gallery page etc.
If not, how do I go about editing the html in each page instead of doing it inside the specific page template?

John Engler, the former three-term governor of Michigan and current president of the Business Roundtable, calls the House Republican budget proposal a "courageous exercise" and says it has "intriguing ideas" regarding tax and entitlement reforms.
"I think the budget itself is a...courageous exercise," Engler told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. He went on to praise House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan's efforts to address runaway entitlement spending, calling it "pretty responsible."
"My question is, who is Ryan negotiating with?" Engler added, noting that he wants to see an alternative from the Democrats in order to foster a debate about tax reform and entitlement spending.
Engler has been president of the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs and business leaders, since 2010.
As the faceoff in Wisconsin enters its most critical stage, America finds itself bombarded with an array of polling data designed to provide insight into the thinking of citizens (not always registered voters) on the standoff between Governor Scott Walker (and the state's Republican legislators) on one side and organized labor (along with their Democratic legislative backers) on the other.

9 years ago…
August 2002: I've started my first "real" programming job, I was an intern at Intel working side by side with intelligent and talented engineers on a performance monitoring tool for Linux. A lot has happened since, I switched a few jobs, sometimes I worked for big enterprise and sometime for a small startup until I ended up on my current position in a company that is neither (or both).
I wrote software that did video processing, ecommerce and helped people write better unit tests (I hope) mostly (but not only) in C++ and .NET languages where I felt most comfortable.
In the last nine years I learnt quite a lot in the since I wrote my first void main - on my first job I leant how to write code, on my second job I learnt how to write code fast but only on my previous job did I learn how to write code well…
In every job and every project I had a the good fortune to find guru that could teach me something and with each lesson I improved not only professionally but also as an individual.
All in all it's been fun ride, it's not over - I'm just stopped for a minuet too look back and take a breath.
I can't wait to see what would happen in the next nine years.

Mom: Billy wash your hair with this shampoo.
Billy: Mom I can't wash my hair with this shampoo.
Mom: Why?
Billy: Because this shampoo says for dry hair, and mine are going to be wet!
I just can't stand how everyone lately seems to be saying "I mean" before they even start their sentence. Or "I know" "You Know" "Or Whatever" "Like" "Know What I Mean". All of the people saying these things to me sound very stupid.
How can all these people be graduating high school when they don't even know how to speak!! College kids even talk like this!! Even doctors are now into saying the word "So" before all their sentences. There is no such thing as English anymore. Our world is falling apart.
I owe my parents a lot, especially my mom and dad.

After news surfaced about a baby being left in a shopping cart outside a grocery store, social media went on fire and condemned the infant's mother, Cherish Peterson, who admitted that she made a "mistake."
Peterson, mother of four, is now being charged with a misdemeanor of child endangerment, though initially, numerous outlets reported that police believed she made a mistake.
Local news stations reported that police took the abandoned baby to a nearby salon wherein a witness said the Arizona mom came back after two hours. Peterson said she came back to the grocery store in a frenzy, 40 minutes upon realizing that 2-month-old baby Huxton wasn't in the car with her other three children. more >>
Rosa Robles Loreto, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, has spent over a year living inside a Tucson Presbyterian Church because she fears U.S. immigration officials will deport her.
Robles Loreto has received sanctuary at Southside Presbyterian Church (USA) since Aug. 7, 2014, and vows to stay until immigration officials provide assurance that they will not deport her and separate her family.
"It's like I lost a year," she commented in a Fox News Latino report. The 42-year-old woman has two sons, ages 9 and 12, who were born in Mexico and have grown up in the U.S. She has lived in Tucson since 1999, but returned to Mexico to give birth to them. Her husband and sons are all living in Arizona illegally, but do not face deportation because no one has reported them to immigration officials. more >>
Taylor Swift recently donated $50,000 to a young fan who is battling Leukemia after the girl's family led a viral campaign to get the pop star's attention.
On June 25, Naomi Oakes, an 11-year-old Christian girl from San Tan Valley, Arizona, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and she chose Swift's Billboard chart topping hit "Bad Blood" as her "fight song." The rare form of cancer will require a six-to-nine months hospital stay as part of Naomi's course of treatment, which has devastated the Swift fan because it means she will miss the Grammy award-winning singer's Aug. 18 concert in Phoenix.
Naomi received tickets to Swift's show as a Christmas present and had made plans to attend with her "bestest best friend Piper" before she received the heartbreaking diagnosis at Cardon Children's Hospital in Mesa. more >>
Less than a month after two gunmen opened fire at a Muhammad cartoon drawing contest in Garland, Texas, a former U.S. Marine has planned to hold a similar event as part of an anti-Islamic protest in front of a Phoenix, Arizona, mosque.

Eight conservative Arizona pastors have banded together to teach a sermon series to their local community titled "Progressive Christianity: Fact or Fiction," but one local United Methodist Church pastor, who holds more progressive views on the Bible, says they're trying to alienate people who don't interpret the Scriptures literally.
The series will be taught at eight different Fountain Hills churches and is being advertised on large billboards in front of each of them.
"It's a sermon series dealing with some of the essential tenets of Christianity — that being the deity of Jesus, the validity of Scripture, the literal, physical resurrection of Christ and the atoning sacrifice of Christ," said Christ's Church of Fountain Hills pastor Don Lawrence, one of the eight pastors preaching the series, to The Christian Post. more >>
An Arizona-based, self-professed faith healer has filed a lawsuit against a transgender atheist blogger who posted a video attacking his claims that he can heal people of diseases, such as cancer, AIDS and diabetes.
Adam Miller, an ordained minister and faith healer who claims to have had a near-death experience in 1977 and has the ability to heal people, recently filed the suit against Stephanie Guttormson, who serves as operations director for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science and has publically criticized Miller as being a "charlatan, swindler and snake oil slaesman," and not a medical practitioner.
While The Christian Post wasn't able to contact Miller, and his website and YouTube videos have been removed from the Internet, this reporter did receive a response from Guttormson who spoke openly about the lawsuit. more >>

Nice easy interface
I`m impressed with the ease of use. I use Google Voice for texting with friends that don`t have iMessaging as well as giving out my Google Voice phone number to folks I don`t want to have my real number.
The interface on this app is very easy and intuitive. It is easy to set up and very simple to use. As much as we may want to hate Google, this sure is a great app for the iPhone and iPad!
iPhone Contacts integration, but still want GV contacts
So I can now call contacts on my iPhone, which is great. But why remove contacts list in GV itself? Personally I sync iPhone contacts, Mac Contacts, and Google Contacts. But there are still times when the three are not in sync, and I still want to access Google contacts. (Especially when you have groups and filter by groups, iPhone contacts are not helpful.)
Another really neat feature in this version is Click2call, which is the real reason I wanted to use Google Voice on iPhone. This way, I can use the handy dialer/contact list to make calls using my home phone or office phone; even when making phone calls using iPhone itself, I can add my GV number as "fav" and save minutes. (You can even tell GV "don`t use for calls" from iPhone.)
One point: GV is never meant to be anything like Vonage (sic) and Skype. If you don`t find Google Voice useful, this app is useless.
Universal APP needed
Needs either a universal app or a separate one for the iPad.

Open and frequent communications from senior management. Solid excellent strategies that management was able to communicate and get all associates to commit to as well. Excellent benefits and sincere concern for their associates.
As the organization continues towards a Management structure that reduces the amount of family influence they need to guard against becoming just another company and away from the very special family run business formulated by core principles that is one of the many foundations for their success.

Strong Brand recognition and fun products to sell Limited benefits for part time associates
New leadership team prefers to hire externally over promoting within. The latest technique is to demote associates who have been doing a job for sometimes many years to a lower position and require them to train their replacement. New leadership team is so business focused that the principals established by the founder's are no longer important, people are no longer important...just the bottom line. It used to be a fun enviorment to work, No longer. There is no praise for a job well done just critisizsm for what is not being done fast enough.
Advice to Management
Stop treating associates like underlings, unqualified, and stupid. Lose the attitude that everything that was done before you started was wrong and that you are there to correct it all. Treat people with respect.

Major Court Challenge on How State Allocates School Funds
By ABBY GOODNOUGH
Published: October 12, 1999
A state judge will hear opening arguments today in a case that poses the most serious challenge yet to New York State's method of financing public schools. The case mirrors lawsuits around the nation that have often forced states to allocate more money to poor schools.
The suit, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan and which has already cleared several court hurdles, argues that the state's school financing formula has deprived city students of their right to a ''sound, basic education'' under the State Constitution. The plaintiffs, a coalition of advocacy groups called the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, also accuse New York State of engaging in racial discrimination by giving a disproportionate share of school aid to districts outside New York City, whose student body is overwhelmingly nonwhite.
If successful, the lawsuit could end the state's tradition of meting out almost $13 billion a year to schools based largely on political deal-making. It could force the state to raise taxes to provide more money for schools in New York City and other poor districts, or to find another way to increase state aid to those school districts sharply.
Under the current formula, the city receives 35.5 percent of the state's education aid, even though it enrolls 38 percent of the state's public school children, according to the suit. Two and a half percentage points equal $318 million a year.
''The question is whether all children are entitled to a decent education in this state, and that means whether poor and minority children are entitled to the resources necessary to provide them with an adequate education,'' said Joseph Wayland, a lawyer for the Campaign for Fiscal Equity. ''We know what it takes, we know they don't get it, and the state is responsible for that shortfall.''
The suit, filed in 1993, is similar to cases in other states that seek to define an adequate education and force the state to provide it. In New Jersey, a 28-year school financing battle ended last year when that state's highest court accepted Gov. Christine Todd Whitman's plan to improve curriculums and school buildings in urban districts. The court also ordered Mrs. Whitman to end a spending disparity between the wealthiest and poorest districts.
And in Connecticut, the state's top court ruled in 1977 that the school finance system was unconstitutional and ordered the state to come up with a more equitable formula. A more recent suit charging that inequities still exist is now in court.
In New York, the school financing suit that goes to trial today follows a 1982 case in which the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, dismissed a similar challenge brought by a Long Island school group. That group based its suit on spending disparities between poor and wealthy school districts, and the court ruled that such disparities did not violate the State Constitution.
The current case, however, focuses on whether the state has failed to insure that students in poor districts receive the minimally adequate education required by the Constitution.
The state tried to have the Campaign for Fiscal Equity's suit dismissed, but the Court of Appeals ruled in 1995 that the case could proceed in the lower courts, and laid out an unusually detailed blueprint to help the trial court determine whether the current system is unconstitutional. A ''sound, basic education,'' the court wrote, ''should consist of the basic literacy, calculating and verbal skills necessary to enable children to eventually function productively as civic participants capable of voting and serving on a jury.''
But while many school financing suits have charged that the education in poor districts is inadequate, New York's case is one of only a handful that also include a civil rights claim. In its 1995 ruling, the high court said the state's school financing system could be found in violation of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 if the plaintiffs could prove two things: that the system had a ''discriminatory effect'' on minority students and that other ''less discriminatory alternatives'' were available.
The United States Justice Department bolstered the civil rights claim last month when it filed a brief saying that the circumstances described in the suit would be a violation of Federal civil rights laws.
Lawyers for the state say that they will argue that New York City gets a disproportionately low share of state aid not because the formula is discriminatory but because the city has relatively high property and income wealth. Under the formula, municipalities with the least property and income wealth get the most state aid, the lawyers said.
''The formula is not based on race or even on population; it's based on wealth,'' said Martin Bienstock, an assistant attorney general who will argue the state's case. ''The state gives less aid to New York City than it does to the rest of the state, on average, because New York City is relatively wealthy.''
Mr. Bienstock said the state's lawyers would also argue that school financing was mostly a local responsibility and that state aid to schools was ''not designed to fully equalize, but to offset to some extent, the differences in wealth from district to district.''
The state will also argue that city schools receive plenty of money, and question whether the Board of Education makes good use of those funds, lawyers for the state said.

Sony Xperia Kumquat leaked picture hits the web
This might not be the first leaked image that we've seen of the supposed Sony Xperia Kumquat (or the Sony Ericsson ST25i Kumquat as it is also being called) but it's definitely the clearest.
The last image of the not-yet-official Android handset was a tiny glimpse of it amongst a line-up of other Sony handsets, with no indication as to just how similar looking it was to the Sony Xperia S.
Packing the same brightly lit notification bar along the bottom than the handset Pocket-lint got hands-on with in Vegas at CES, the Kumquat is said to be a touch thinner than the Xperia S though and the icon sizes hint at a lower screen resolution.
We've heard that it will be packing a 3.5-inch display and we've now got a suggested resolution of 480x854 (FWGA) to go with that. We'd already heard word of the purported 1GHz NovaThor U8500 CPU and the 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording skills.
The phone pictured here features the Sony Ericsson logo but it's likely to lose that by the time it hits officialdom - probably next month at MWC - to be replaced simply with a Sony tag.
Recently, we told you about a list of 11 as-of-yet unconfirmed handsets that will be coming from the electronics giant before 2012 is up.
The list includes the Xperia Nypon and the Xperia Kumquat, which we've heard murmurs of before, as well as the Pepper, The Tapioca, the Tapioca DS, the Hayabusa, the Atlas, the Mint, the Affm, the Lotus and the Olive.
2012 looks like being a busy year for the now-flying-solo Sony mobile division.

Como and it's beautiful lake
... but happily I do move on pretty quickly.
David and I talked and looked into coming home maybe a few days to a week earlier, as we didn't give enough thought to the jet lag issue (was really bad when we returned from Vietnam last year). As it is now we only have 4 days at home before we return to work. Unfortunately it will cost well over $1000 each to do this, so that won't be an option. Doesn't matter; we will just be tired.
We enjoyed a nice ...

Thank you for all your comments about the blog but we haven't quite finished yet! Still about 24 hours before we'll be on our doorsteps, a whole city still to explore and at least one more blog post!

Been very busy last couple of days - just had time to catch up and I am a few days behind. We drove up to the local car ferry in Trezzamo The ferry was quick, we drove on and sat on the top deck for 10 minutes. When we arrived in Bellagio we had a lovely relaxing look round and a little shopping trip. We sat in the Hotel Du Lac ...
Venice and George Clooney's wedding!
George wasn't on the train we took from Milan to Venice, but he was spotted by by a couple in our party, near the Town Hall after the civil ceremony. We had a great hotel between the Rialto Bridge and St Marco. On Friday evening we explored the local cicchetti bars (similar to tapas) with our fellow food and wine tour members.
On Saturday we took water taxis from our hotel to Tronchetto where we met ...

After we got the luggage in the room, we set out to find a restaurant the desk person recommended for pizza. Well, it ...

Sure, you drink plenty of water, eat a variety of vegetables and make sure you get enough protein in a typical day.
But, do you know many people are forgetting to add one thing to their diet that's crucially important not only for weight management but for a healthy gut?
It's fiber and not enough Americans are eating it. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, only about 5% of Americans eat enough fiber.
What you eat or don't eat in this case – wreacks havoc on your gut. A diet low in fiber, as well as other factors, including how much sun you get and the supplements you take, can change the compositions and function of your gut flora, essentially weakening your health.
Such health problems include:
- Constipation
- Hemorrhoids
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Weight Gain and Obesity
- Diabetes
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Colon Cancer (cancer of the large intestine)
Fiber and Your Digestive System
Your digestive system is lined with muscles that massage food along the digestive tract from the moment food is swallowed to the time it's passed out of the bowel.
Dietary fiber helps in preventing constipation as well as diarrhea as it simultaneously works to soften your stools while solidifying the watery stool making it easier to pass.
Having a diet loaded with foods high in fiber can help your digestive system to function in an efficient way.
Additionally a fiber-rich diet might also reduce the chances of hemorrhoids and related diseases.
Fiber and Weight Loss
Did you know fiber helps you lose weight? Want to know how?
Meals with more fiber provide more food with fewer calories and it adds bulk without energy.
Soluble fiber forms a gel in your body slowing down:
- The process of emptying the stomach
- The transit time food travels through your digestive system
It also delays the absorption of sugar from the intestine. This helps maintain the level of blood sugar and prevent a rapid rise in the blood insulin level – which is linked to obesity and increased risk of diabetes.
When people eat a fiber-filled diet, their gut benefits from this food and helps create healthy gut.
According to a study at Stanford University, people who had a high level of the gut microbe Akkermansia muciniphila – a strain responsible for leanness – and increased their fiber intake, lost weight, had better cholesterol and reduced risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
But, don't worry, if you don't have plenty of Akkermansia muciniphila in your gut, eating a diet rich in fiber increases their population, aiding in better health.
Fiber and Blood Cholesterol
There is good evidence soluble fiber reduces the level of blood cholesterol. When your blood cholesterol level is high, fat get deposited along the artery walls.
This can make them narrow, which can be dangerous and can lead to a high risk of coronary heart disease. It's believed that soluble fiber lowers the level of blood cholesterol by binding the bile acids and then passing them out through the bowel.
While all this talk about your bowels and stools isn't something to talk about at the dinner table, having a healthy gut and digestion starts with the foods you eat. Let's look at ways to increase your fiber intake.
Easy Ways to Increase Fiber Intake
You might think you're getting enough fiber in your diet. After all, many foods are fortified with fiber, right?
Well, the type of fiber manufacturers use, inulin, doesn't have the same effect as natural sources of fiber from whole foods.
So, when looking to add more fiber, choose whole foods rather than fortified foods.
If you don't know how much fiber you should get, men should shoot for 38 grams of fiber and women should aim for 25 grams of fiber a day. Here are some ideas to get some more fiber in your body:
- Eat breakfast cereal such as barley or oats.
- Switch to multigrain bread and brown rice.
- Snack on dry fruits, fruits, and nuts instead of low fiber biscuits and cakes.
- Include an extra vegetable in your daily evening meal.
- Eat more legumes.
Don't Forget the Fiber
Leading a healthy life can sometimes seem like an uphill battle. You try to eat a healthy diet, avoid processed foods and supplement with vitamins and minerals.
But, as long as you remember to eat a well-balanced meal and include plenty of vegetables and water in your diet, you won't have any problems losing weight or keeping your gut healthy.
Here at The Allergy Kit you'll find plenty of remedies for your health problems – from leaky gut to acid reflux.
And when you include our kit in your health plan, you won't have to worry anymore about your allergies or health problems.
Over to you – what steps are you going to take to increase your fiber and lead a healthier life?

Thomas Vermaelen believes Arsenal are good enough to beat any opposition, claiming that even when their results have not backed up the claim their performances often have, ESPN has reported.
The Gunners are currently sixth in the table, a point behind Everton and four adrift of Tottenham Hotspur, who hold the final Champions League qualification place. Arsenal were knocked out of the League Cup by League Two side Bradford City, who went on to reach the final, and face Blackburn Rovers in the next round of the FA Cup. The Champions League, meanwhile, sees Arsene Wenger's side face Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
Vermaelen however is confident that if Arsenal are at their best, they can see off all challengers. The Belgium international said: "You could see it from the start of the season that this team has a lot of potential. We have enough quality in this team to beat anybody.
"I think you could see that in the games we played against top teams. We didn't get the results we wanted, but I think in some parts of the games we played well."
Arsenal on Saturday play Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, the sight of a 2-1 victory in the league last season, the winner scored by Thierry Henry. But a week later the sides met at the same venue in the FA Cup and the home team were victorious, winning 2-0.

AJ Styles Responds To Hulk Hogan's Dismissive Comments Towards Bobby Roode
by Amish Patel - October 15, 2011
AJ Styles has responded to Hulk Hogan's dismissive comments regarding himself, Bobby Roode and others during an interview Thursday on Busted Open on SiriusXM Radio.
He wrote on Twitter, "Frustration setting in when your own guys bury the company that u have worked so hard for…….. Brother!"
When asked whether Roode, who will challenge Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Champion tomorrow night at Bound for Glory, is ready to be the top guy in the organization, Hogan replied, "Nah, he's not ready."
The wrestling legend explained, "He's not the next guy. Ya' know, they might think he is. Dixie Carter might think he is. The whole world might think he is. He's not the next guy. If I had to bet money on anybody and really be serious about betting money on anybody, I'd say Jeff Hardy is the next guy if he keeps his act together. Um, that's what you gotta to have, man. This is much more than being a wrestler, this is crossing barriers, medias, ya' know media barriers, and, and entertainment barriers of all kind. Getting your character down verbally has 90% to do with getting over. I just have a very strong feeling Kurt Angle's going to clean his clock performance wise, and carry the match, and basically remains the champion. He's training for the Olympics. He's had some up and down moments, and I think this is not gonna be a down moment for Kurt Angle, so I'm betting that farm on him."
Regarding Styles being the top guy in TNA, Hogan said, "It's never too late. I mean, I just don't know."
He added, "I, when I first came in all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed a couple of years ago, I had a ton of suggestions which I was kind of pushing real hard, which I thought would take him to a crazy, crazy level, and nobody responded. So, I don't know at this point. I have my ideas, but a lot of things that I believe in, and what I feel from the crowd, and what I know. The little I know about this business. Sometimes, it's either taken and used, or used and it doesn't work, or it's not used at all. So, it's just..it's my opinion. I don't know at this point."

It's perfectly dry, not too high in alcohol, firm in tannins, and deeply flavored in dark stone fruits and berries. And then there are the freshly crushed peppercorns, black, red, green and white. Could be the perfect barbecue wine.Editor's Choice.

Hit the ground running
... having quite a quiet weekend, that included a visit to the Melbourne market again for meat, we were on our way back from picking up my car - a faulty transmission issue, but not one that was recognised on their system; Edd was going to sort it out the next week by driving it until it played up, then go to the mechanic and prove them wrong. It was still under new car warranty until December, so we had some time.
We also went to the storage ...
The left hook
... directed to the inspection section of the airport and I showed another officer my landing card, holding up the beautifully painted Bali pot, seriously hoping it wouldn't be confiscated; I could have drunk it between buying it and arriving, so it would have been an opportunity missed and good tea wasted. I was definitely going to ask if I could keep the container though, if all else failed.
We were asked to follow the big green dots on the floor with arrows ...
Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
Today the boys headed off for a Footy match while Christine took time to wander the Queen Victoria Market and other areas of downtown Melbourne. As an ode to little Jack, Caleb and I went to Hungry Jacks for lunch - aka Burger King. There was lots of hustle and bustle on the streets with many fans outfitted in either Essendon or Carlton jerseys and scarves. We walked the Yarra River towards the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). This is where the Cricket World Cup final was played a few ...
I Can Tell The Food Is Better Here...
... I need to put this live chicken in my checked bag or carry on. Anybody had this problem before?!? I'm afraid I may have to ring its neck to keep it quiet going through security, and I'll be honest I was looking forward to some fresh eggs on that 17 hour plane ride home. This was the place for souvenirs though. There were a couple hundred dealers to choose from, and they would cut prices if you just looked ...
Part 1: The Wonderful Country of Oz
... SMASH! Skutes fumbles the precious, innocent 1L of vodka to it's horrifying demise. Well. Australia 1 - Fed N' Skutes 0.
Next order of business, taxi ride to our hotel. Now, we booked this hotel because it was close to the airport. You would think this would be a reasonable fare, given the proximity between Point A and Point B are within 15 km of each other. Wrong again. $45 dollars to go 15km, and for all you Mathletes out there, that's $3.00 per km! 3 whole ...
