Great location and beautiful Ocean views !
Hotel is easy to get to, has a nice view, and a good buffet breakfast. Lobby staff very helpful and friendly. On the negative side, isolation between neighboring bathrooms is poor, and we would have appreciated a few more amenities like washcloths and some Kleenex.
Great location but a couple improvements would help the experience: let people use the spa area pool and lounge. Bathrooms need to be updated, especially tubs, ours was moldy. Front desk staff not very friendly or helpful with knowledge of the surrounding area, couldn't help with directions to a major attraction only 35 km away. Plusses: Spacious room, great bed, great breakfast. There is a little protected sanctuary between hotel and beach full of chameleons, cool!
Lovely hotel and the staff were terrific - at the hotel and at the beach restaurant. great beach. Only issue was that the connection to the internet was unreliable and very variable - this became quite frustrating and cost several in our family a lot of time trying to access and complete work-related items - very frustrating when we wanted to be on the beach. One day oen corner in the lobby would be great but the next day there would be minimal to no connectivity.
This hotel is right on the beach and in a delightful seaside village. Every room has a direct view of the ocean. The grounds are nice and private with plenty of room around the pool to relax and not feel crowded. There is a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel gym, free for guests, helps you enjoy these with less guilt.

This gel does a good job of getting rid of the spots but I have noticed that they stay red for a while, even after they have gone down. I use this combined with my moisturizer (mix a little bit in with it) as well and it works a treat for preventing any further breakouts.

We bought this product after it was reccommended to us by a family member. I had thought it was just another blemish product and having 2 teenagers in the house did wonder if it really worked. They were so thrilled with the over night results I have been told not to buy anything else now! They find a pimple and put the gel on, in the morning it's gone. I highly reccomend this product for any person with a blemish problem.

Jet with ill boy quarantined, cleared at McCarran
LAS VEGAS (AP & KSNV) -- A commercial airliner was quarantined on the airport tarmac in Las Vegas for more than an hour Friday while paramedics and health officials evaluated a mother and a child who vomited during a flight from New York, authorities said.
Sick child creates Ebola scare at McCarran
Plane quarantined when child becomes ill at McCarran
An all-clear was given after officials determined the symptoms didn't meet criteria for Ebola.
The woman told authorities that she and the child had traveled in the African country of Gabon, Deputy Clark County Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan said.
Neither she nor the boy, about a year old, was hospitalized, Buchanan said. Their names were not made public.
McCarran International Airport officials said Delta Flight 495 from John F. Kennedy Airport was parked on the tarmac about 11 a.m. while officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Southern Nevada Health District responded.
The quarantine was ordered after authorities were told that a passenger who had recently traveled to Africa had vomited on board, airport spokeswoman Christine Crews said.
A CDC official said later that Gabon is not one of the West African countries affected by the Ebola outbreak.
The Boeing 737-800 flight had 166 passengers and crew members aboard, airline spokesman Morgan Durrant said. The passenger became sick within the last 30 minutes of the nearly four-hour flight, Durrant said.
Ambulances and CCFD vehicles surrounded the plane after it landed. Paramedics donned protective gear to examine the woman and child, Buchanan said.
McCarran spokeswoman Christine Crews said the flight was quarantined at the gate "after reports that a passenger who had recently traveled in Africa vomited on board the aircraft."
"Clark County Fire Department, the Centers for Disease Control and the Southern Nevada Health District have responded. After a thorough assessment, it has been determined that the affected passenger does not meet the criteria for Ebola."
UMC spokeswoman D'Anita Cohen said the hospital was contacted by the airport about two unconfirmed cases of Ebola-like symptoms. She said UMC staffers originally prepared for two patients to be transported to the hospital, but that alert was cancelled when officials determined that symptoms did not meet the Ebola criteria.
A county spokesman confirmed that no patients were being transported to UMC.
McCarran sent out a Twitter message at 1:32 p.m. stating all passengers had deplaned and nobody had been quarantined or transported.
The incident came a day before body-temperature checks begin for passengers arriving at Kennedy International from three West African countries experiencing the Ebola outbreak: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Screenings are slated to begin next week at four other major airports: Newark Liberty, Washington's Dulles, Chicago's O'Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport.
The CDC says early symptoms of Ebola include fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, severe headache, muscle and stomach pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting and unexplained bleeding or bruising. Symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to the virus, but the average is eight to 10 days.

Insanity Is Repeating the Same Stupid Cliche Over and Over
Posted on July 31, 2008
One of the worst cliches is the claim, frequently though most certainly incorrectly attributed to Albert Einstein, that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." This is, of course, false and trivially false at that.
Whenever I hear people say something along those lines, I wonder what they expect to happen if they flip a coin. Say, they flip a coin once and it comes up heads. Do these folks expect all future coin flips to come up heads until the end of time?
In fact there are so many counterexamples to this particular claim, that its hard to understand how it ever became popular cliche (unless the attribution to Einstein was sufficient).

it's more difficult to convince people that they've been fooled than it is to fool them
The only fundamental difference between us and them is our culture.
If you want the killing to stop taking guns away is not going work.
Our culture needs to change. We live in a county that has been killing people who (*)(*)(*)(*) us off since it's inception. It starts there, video games are a result, Hollywood is a result, Mass shootings are a result. So are 9/11 and Oklahoma City, and many many others.
It's so much deeper then guns or a type of gun. If you focus on the gun, take them away, people will still die, you won't solve the problem.

Lent begins today! Sign up for one of our Easter devotions.
6:1 Sabbath. A principal source of controversy between Jesus and the Pharisees was the right use of the Sabbath. They hedged it with repressive regulations so as to avoid the possibility of breaking the Sabbath. Jesus did not so much argue that the regulations should be relaxed as that they had misunderstood the Sabbath—it was a day on which good deeds should be done.
plucked and ate some heads of grain. This was permitted in the law (Deut. 23:25); that it was done on the Sabbath was seen by the Pharisees as unlawful.

Corruption is one of the primary facilitators of refugee smuggling. In order to fight this crime, and help refugees safely realise their rights, the international community must understand the intricate connections between corruption and refugee smuggling.
24 September 2015 - At the 2015 Global Investigations Review awards, the OECD collected the prize for the "most important investigations development" category. The OECD was given the award in recognition of its tireless work promoting foreign bribery enforcement around the world.
Vast amounts are lost to illicit financial flows, including tax evasion, money laundering, bribery and corruption. These crimes threaten the strategic, political and economic interests of both developed and developing countries. In a world of limited resources and increasing complexity, it is essential for government authorities to work closely together in a "whole of government" approach to best address these challenges.
Financial crime is one of the greatest threats to the economic and social well‑being of people living in all countries. Illicit financial activities such as tax evasion, corruption, terrorist financing, computer fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes are a global problem demanding a global response.
There are concrete steps that can be taken in achieving a culture of integrity. To achieve this, we work with countries to adopt a whole-of-society approach. That means all stakeholders, public, private and civil society, must work together to make it happen.
Fighting Illicit Financial Flows: Are Partnerships and Policy Coherence the keys to success?
Israël ne prend pas suffisamment l'initiative de détecter les actes corruption transnationale et d'ouvrir des enquêtes dans ce domaine, les autorités du pays n'ayant engagé aucune poursuite sous ce chef d'inculpation ces 7 dernières années, en dépit des 14 allégations de corruption transnationale portées à l'encontre d'individus et d'entreprises israéliens.
Le Groupe de travail de l'OCDE sur la corruption publiera son rapport sur les efforts réalisés par Israël pour lutter contre la corruption le mercredi 24 juin à 11h00, heure de Paris.

I finally got around to putting Herp Derp's (tiny) source code out there. I also removed the jQuery dependency because that was overkill. Version 1.6 has been released for Chrome and Firefox.
Wireless garage door opener v2
"Because my garage door doesn't need an operating system"
I admit – I went a little overkill with the Raspberry Pi garage door opener. A machine so complex was being used to do something so simple: Perform a button press. Why did it need graphics capabilities? A multicore processor? Cron jobs? It didn't.
Enter the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266. All the right junk in all the right places. A simple HTTP request to the Feather, and we're good to go.
With the recent release of iOS 10 I took it a step further. Could I get this thing to work with Siri? As it turns out, it's really not that hard:
Raspberry Pi, touch screen, and a bluetooth speaker
A really simple project that delivers!
- RetroPie
- An SNES-style USB controller
- A Bluetooth speaker
- The Raspberry Pi touch display
- Of course, a Raspberry Pi
The only 'gotcha' I came across was when sending audio to the Bluetooth speaker, the emulator I was using (snes9x, the default) got super choppy. This was resolved by adding pisnes as an emulator to EmulationStation and using it instead.

Destroying the web with a plasma ball
I plan to do a more thorough write-up on my plasma-ball project, but for now here's the video, some pictures, and a link to the repo.

3D Touch force values in Swift
We're going to see really cool stuff from this. I was curious if 3D Touch in the new iOS devices provided continuous values, or a few discreet ones (light press, semi press, hard press).
Excitingly, you get a nice float back.
Who's going to be the first to react to users squeezing their phones in a rage? #canfinallyhitstuffharder

Raspberry Pi Touchscreen LEGO Stand
I recently acquired a couple of the awesome 7″ Raspberry Pi touch screens. They're great except for one thing – how the heck do you hold it up out of the box?
Some third party manufacturers are selling stands, but can dirt-cheap LEGOs accomplish the same thing? Of course. I cooked this up in a few minutes. Three points support the screen perfectly, and a piece is added behind the USB ports to minimize sliding (though that hasn't been an issue at all).
A downside to this design is that two USB ports are blocked on this model, but you may not need them at all as in my case.
The Mac Pro gets an SSD part 2!
Welp, that didn't take long. After installing my new SSD I quickly realized I could do better. Upgrading to SATA III from SATA II for less than $60 was a no-brainer.
Installation couldn't be simpler either: All I had to do was attach the SSD onto the onboard slot and install the PCIe card. After powering on it booted right up, nothing else required.
The Mac Pro gets an SSD
Six years old, and now running even better: The Mac Pro gets a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD housed in an Icy Dock enclosure.
In hindsight I probably should've looked into a PCIe SSD to get higher speeds since my 2009 Nehalem machine has only SATA 2.0. Regardless, I'm loving the boost.
Edit: SATA 3 drive controller ordered!

Friday, September 6, 2013 - An overzealous fan arrested at John Cusack 's Los Angeles home on Tuesday (03Sep13) has been charged with stalking and harassing the movie star.
Elizabeth Pahlke has been hit with felony counts of stalking with a restraining order and attempted burglary.
The 45 year old was held by cops after she was allegedly caught trying to
break into the actor's Malibu property by climbing through a window and scaling a fence.
According to TMZ.com, prosecutors are demanding her bail be raised from $150,000 (=C2£100,000) to $200,000 (=C2£133,000).
Pahlke faces four years and eight months behind bars if convicted.

This collection includes all three phenomenally successful TOY STORY films.
TOY STORY was the first feature-length film animated entirely by computer, and is as chock-full of heart and warmth as any Disney cartoon feature. Young Andy's playthings, including the sardonic Mr. Potatohead, a Slinky Dog with a southern drawl, an anxiety-ridden dinosaur, and some very gung- ho toy soldiers, are led by Woody, a pull-string cowboy doll whom Andy adores. But on his birthday, Andy receives a self-possessed, gadget-laden spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear, who quickly becomes Andy's favourite. Soon the overlooked Woody becomes very jealous. However, when a turn of events leaves Buzz and Woody lost in the 'outside world,' they have to get along in order to find their way home.
TOY STORY 2 is the dazzling sequel to the 1995 blockbuster. Andy heads off to summer camp, leaving the toys behind to fend for themselves. In much the same way Buzz discovered he is a mass-produced product in the first instalment, Woody discovers that he is a valuable collectible spawned by a popular 1950s kiddie-puppet TV show, 'Woody's Roundup Gang' when he is kidnapped by an evil toy collector, Al McWhiggin. Through Al, who plans to sell him to a Japanese toy museum, Woody is reunited with the toy versions of his TV cohorts plucky cowgirl Jessie (Cusack), prospector Stinky Pete (Grammer), and trusty horse Bullseye. Woody must choose between seeing Andy grow up and forsake him and living a sterile but eternal life behind glass being admired but not played with.
Released to universal acclaim, TOY STORY 3 continues the high quality of its predecessors; with a heart-warming story, hilarious script, and stunning CGI animation. The movie begins with Andy leaving for college and accidentally donating his beloved toys -- including Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the Potato-Head family-- to a daycare. While the crew meets new friends, including Ken (Michael Keaton) and plush patriarch Lotso (Ned Beatty), they soon grow to hate their new surroundings and plan an escape.

Dry skin has a very low level of sebum (oil) and is usually sensitive. It looks parched, dull, and wrinkled. It lacks plumpness and appears dehydrated and shrunken.
Wash your face with a mild, soap-free face wash. Cleansing lotion gently cleanses the skin and helps to restore and replace lost moisture and natural oils. Use non-alcohol toners for dry skin. Always use a moisturizer during the day. It is advisable to use a night cream that contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids (or AHA's). AHA's are derived from sources such as milk, fruit and sugar cane. Protect your skin in winter by using protective cream.

Mike Mularkey and Jon Robinson enter second year together; Titans own two of top 18 picks in NFL Draft
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans embark upon the 2017 offseason with renewed optimism. In the past year, they named a new general manager and head coach, witnessed the continued ascension of their franchise quarterback, acquired key roster pieces, and experienced one of the franchise's best one-year turnarounds.
With stability at the top of the organization and a foundation in place, the Titans now shift their focus to free agency and the NFL Draft.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans (0-0) open the regular season this week by hosting the defending NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings (0-0). Kickoff at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for noon CDT on Sunday, September 11th.
The Titans, who carry into the game a three-game winning streak on opening day, are 30-26 all-time as a franchise in Week 1, including a 5-3 Kickoff Weekend record at Nissan Stadium.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans (0-0) begin the 2016 preseason this week against the San Diego Chargers (0-0). Kickoff at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for 7:00pm CDT on Saturday, August 13th. The contest is a preview of the two teams' November 6th regular season meeting in San Diego.
The game will be televised regionally on the Titans Preseason TV Network, including flagship WKRN News 2 in Nashville.

Nashville, TN – On the field, Titans fans will get their first glimpse of the team as constructed by new general manager Jon Robinson and Mike Mularkey, each of whom were named to their posts in January by controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk.
Although he is a native of Union City, TN, Robinson is a newcomer to the organization. Mularkey was hired as tight ends coach in 2014, promoted to assistant head coach/tight ends coach during the 2015 offseason, and then spent the final nine games of 2015 as interim head coach.

Nashville, TN – With the second overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected quarterback Marcus Mariota, the former Oregon quarterback and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner. Mariota later became the first quarterback in franchise history to start in Week 1 of his rookie season and recorded 12 total starts. He missed four contests due to injury.
Mariota unquestionably raised the bar for franchise rookie quarterbacks, breaking the club's rookie records for attempts (370), yards (2,818), completions (230) and touchdowns (19).

Clarksville, TN – Marcus West elected to follow Will Healy from Chattanooga to Clarksville and takes over as Austin Peay State University co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach in 2016. Previously, West spent seven seasons with the Mocs, coaching the defensive line.
West's time in Chattanooga coincided with Chattanooga's rise from Southern Conference also-ran to perennial conference champion.
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans enter 2016 with new leadership at the top of football operations. General manager Jon Robinson and head coach Mike Mularkey were named to their respective posts less than two weeks after the conclusion of the 2015 regular season, charged by controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk with building a consistent playoff contender.
It marked the first time since 1981 in which the franchise hired a general manager and head coach in the same off season. With the NFL Scouting Combine, free agency, the NFL Draft and the players' off season workout program on the horizon, Robinson and Mularkey have launched their efforts in earnest.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans have hired Mike Mularkey on a permanent basis, removing his interim tag and making him the 18th head coach in franchise history.
"The vision Mike presented for our football team during this search as well as the character, integrity, and leadership skills he displayed during the last two months of the season makes him the right coach for the Tennessee Titans," said Titans Controlling Owner and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors Amy Adams Strunk.

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle with Jon Robinson to serve as the team's General Manager. Robinson joins the Titans after spending two years as the Director of Player Personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We are thrilled that Jon has agreed in principle to become our general manager," said Titans Controlling Owner and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors Amy Adams Strunk. "As we visited with Jon and researched his career, his proven track record for scouting talent, leadership skills, and ability to build relationships make him an ideal candidate to lead our football operation. Jon is a proud Tennessean who is excited to be coming home, and we look forward to the future of our football team under his leadership."
Tennessee Titans announced Jon Robinson as new General Manager Thursday. (Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports)

Foxborough, MA | Gillette Stadium | TV: CBS
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans (3-10) travel to face the AFC East-leading New England Patriots (11-2) this week. Kickoff at Gillette Stadium (capacity 68,756) is scheduled for 1:00pm EST/noon CST on Sunday, December 20th.
This week's game will be televised regionally on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. Play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle and analyst Dan Fouts will call the action, and Evan Washburn will report from the sidelines.
Tennessee Titans tight end Phillip Supernaw (89) is tackled by New York Jets linebacker Jamari Lattimore (54) and linebacker Demario Davis (56) and safety Marcus Gilchrist (21) during the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium. The Jets defeated the Titans 30-8. (Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports)

Skip to comments.Miss California: "It wasn't about being politically correct but Biblically correct."
Posted on 04/21/2009 8:57:17 AM PDT by truthandlife
Check out the video on the Today show of Miss California, Carrie Prejean, claiming it wasn't about being politically correct but "biblically correct." She said it goes against what she stands for. She said she wouldn't change a thing and that she has a purpose and knows now she can go out to young people about standing out for what you believe in and stand up for what you believe in for anyone or anything even if it is for the crown of Miss USA.
Here is the link to the video: http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=a8b115bb-6b53-4cf7-86e0-6439e56bb803
How dare she have a personal opinion that Perez Hilton doesn't agree with.
We must obey God rather than man-and when the cost is big, then so will be the reward for being faithful.
Is Perez important or is he like most self-centered liberals in thinking he's the wo/man?
Fantastic. I have such huge respect for this gal. What an excellent role model not only for young kids but for many older adults that have found themselves cowering in the past three decades regarding the take over of our Judeo-Christian values by selfish, pleasure indulgent lunatic narcissists.
You go girl!
"Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!" Acts 5:29
God Bless her!
I'll bet that chubby little Perez crapped in his pants upon hearing the word "Biblical."
What is interesting is she is getting more interviews and more publicity than the girl who won it.
I'm very, very proud of this young woman. She didn't let the pressure to be PC outweigh her faith in Jesus Christ. If this was a test from our Lord - she passed with flying colors.
Is she married? Go Miss California!!
Mario or 'Perez' is a flea that has been given way too much attention.
I am so proud of her.
I am sure his head turned and he vomited pea green soup as well. I am so proud of that beautiful young lady. The evil troops when confronted can't handle the truth. :-D. Did you hear all the cheers for her? We all needed to hear that. This is the medicine and the sword to take our this evil swarm of fascists and their deception. When one stands up it gives us all hope, inspiration, and courage. God did use her and she stepped aside and let Him work through her. I am just so joyful.
"Sometimes irony is pretty ironic" Buck Murdock
Out of the mouth of BABES!
Yes. :-D.
What she should have said is "You're a shmuck for asking me this question? What's your motive?"
uh....MISS should be a clue.
Mad props to Miss California!
Who the heck put this loser in a 'Judges' seat to begin with? Does not speak well for anyone here; nor his 'judging peers' either. And why; would any political question be part of a pageant?
Outrageous; no matter how you look at this one.
The Pageant had better respond, IMHO. . .against this 'judge' - so-called.
That said, kudos to Carrie Prejean! She remains the winner that she was; before this pageant even began.
Liberals are so hypocritical. The woman gives her opinion to a topic of their choice and then they castigate her for giving it. So much for "free" speech in Liberal Land.
Three cheers to Miss California for standing up. Do you think there's a California House seat that she could run for in 2010 or 2012?
Uh-oh, the left is not gonna like this - a woman who is not only capable of independent thought, but is willing to stand up publicly for her Christian faith. Those things are big no-no's in Obamaland.
Perez reminds me of "The Impressive Clergyman"from The Princess Bride:
Impressive Clergyman: Mawidge. Mawidge is what bwings us togethew today. Mawidge, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam. And wove, twue wove, wiw fowwow you fowevah and evah So tweasuwe youw wove Have you the wing?
You have a good point on this one. Perez Hilton is a God hater and he probably knew Miss California went to a Christian college. He thinks he sabotaged her chances at winning but she now has a bigger platform than she would have ever had as Miss USA. God has a funny sense of humor.
What is also interesting is that Fox News had the "exclusive" interview with her yesterday and NBC gets on the bandwagon because they know where Fox's ratings are right now.
True, sort of like when Vanessa Williams got a career after being kicked out of the Miss America for her Playboy poses, while NO ONE knows the name of the woman who took her place.
It's fascinating that a gay male is so interested in a member of the female gender, which supposedly holds no inborn or genetic interest whatsoever for his type.
I would classify his behavior as hate-driven, tending towards criminal stalking...
I would bet that his behavior is covered by federal civil rights laws.
What truly doesn't bode well for the future of this country is that Perez Hilton was a part of the pageant and has an opinion that is given any status whatsoever by the media. He is a deviant in the truest sense of the word and made his bones by blatantly ripping off copyrighted photos. Absolute scum he is.
Matt, you really didn't get it did you. That really was a horses ass question.
I agree.
It appears the odds were stacked against her with some of the other judges as well. One of the other judges, a former beauty queen herself, said she agreed with "Perez", who's real name is Mario Lavandeira (Perez is his phony name). The other judges are hiding under his skirt and letting him do the mouthing off.
Carrie Prejean is truly a beautiful young woman, but more importantly, a Godly woman. She is a great example to young woman everywhere.
When The Opie and Anthony radio show goes ballistic on the side of Religious Right to Free Speech, you know you are being stupid. Them guys were screaming at how big of an idiot the guy was in defending himself.(and no, I won't admit to listening to them)
I don't know how people could expect that an event celebrating the young womanhood of America would include its denial as well. In gay relationships, as I understand them, someone is always the 'fe-male' so to speak. It's not like an American pageant (Miss America, USA, etc) would permit a drag queen as a contestant.
Biblically correct?
uh oh, she's a right-wing terrorist for sure!
She makes me want to go forth and multiply.
In his infinite widsom, Perez may have signlehandedly killed any chance of having overturned Prop 8. Who's the stupid b**** Perez?
What is interesting is she is getting more interviews and more publicity than the girl who won it.
Call it the Vanessa Williams effect. Nobody can name who was Miss America that year, but everyone remembers Vanessa. (I know that was a bad example, but I do think this will give her far more publicity than actually being Miss America.)
Great minds think alike. I was just specualating about liberals bearing remarkable similarities to the RUS (Rodents of Unusual Size) of the Princess Bride....
Here's the score...
Beautiful, gracious,courageous, principled, intelligent woman ..........1
Attention-seeking, ignorant, tantrum-throwing little faggot ..............0
This woman has more backbone than 99% of the (r)epublican party.
Miss Prejean actually said in one interview that she thinks Hilton is "an angry person."
Carrie Prejean, claiming it wasn't about being politically correct but "biblically correct."
Amen, amen and amen! :)
Hey, Rick Warren. Check out Miss Prejean. She's a perfect example of someone with a spine.

What's the point of a PPL scheme without child care?
For Tony Abbott's Paid Parental Leave scheme to be a true reform it needs to accompanied by affordable and accessible childcare, but the current system is already under considerable strain, as Madeleine Genner reports.
Paid Parental Leave has been top of the agenda during this campaign.
But many argue that a PPL scheme will only work with an affordable and accessible childcare system.
The Rudd Government says there are currently more than one million childcare places available—a 30 per cent increase under Labor.
But in some areas, getting a childcare place is still notoriously difficult.
We just can't have election promises thrown at childcare that are then eroded away—or taken away. We need to have a sustainable sector into the future for many, many years.Gwynn Bridge, president of the Australian Childcare Alliance
Dr Elizabeth Hill, co-convenor of the Work and Family Policy Roundtable, describes childcare as the 'elephant in the room' this election cycle.
'Childcare is a really important part of the effort to improve women's labour force attachment and productivity in the Australian economy,' she says.
'Paid parental leave of course provides an important cover for women and working families while they have a small baby, but the real issue is reconciling a family's commitments in the workplace and to their children once those early months are over.'
With two weeks still to go in this campaign we've only really seen a couple of childcare announcements.
Labor has pointed to its record so far. The Child Care in Australia report—released by the Government earlier this month—showed that the sector had experienced unprecedented growth in the past eight years, with fee increases remaining stable at around 6.9 per cent for nearly a decade.
The report found that one million children are now in some form of childcare—ranging from long-daycare to family daycare and after school arrangements.
Some of the credit for that increase can go to the Coalition—the final Howard budget included new support for childcare and parents and those changes weren't really felt until Labor came to power.
But most academics agree that the Rudd and Gillard governments have dramatically increased the level of childcare quality, access and affordability. Deb Brennan, Professor at the Social Policy Research Centre at the University of NSW, says not only the quantity but also the quality of childcare has increased.
'[W]e've seen the introduction of the national quality framework, which is a really big step forward because it gives us regulations for preschool and long-daycare and out-of-school-hours care right across Australia,' Brennan says.
'So that's the first time we've ever had consistent national regulations, and it means that we're improving quality and standards in quite significant ways.'
But some—and in particular the private sector—argue that those standards are also lifting the cost of childcare.
Brennan admits that quality improvement usually leads to rising costs, but says some of these cost rises have been ameliorated by Labor's childcare rebate.
'They've lifted that from 30 per cent of families' out-of-pocket expenses up to 50 per cent,' she says.
'That's been a significant measure for affordability, although it's not necessarily a particularly well designed piece of public policy. But it certainly has made an impact on affordability.'
During this campaign, Labor has made a few childcare promises. A Rudd government would provide more money for afterschool care, and this week Labor has announced funding for seven new projects which would focus on improving flexibility in the sector.
But it's clear there is more to do. Vicki Tierney, a mother of two who lives near Wollongong in NSW, says in her area the waiting list for quality child care can extend for years.
'When I had my first-born I had him on the waiting list before he was even born for a quality childcare down where I live,' Tierney says. 'And it took two-and-a-half years to get a spot, basically. I only got the call-up at the end of last year to say that he was guaranteed three days a week at the beginning of this year. So he's only been in proper childcare from the beginning of this year.'
'I'm due to go back to work in January. I only took six months off this time, just in terms of being able to afford—I need to go back to work. The only thing is, I'm not guaranteed a spot.'
'It's like you do the daycare drop-off and you see mums with other babies and you're kind of eyeing them off thinking, hmm, how far up the list are they? Because you know that they want a spot for next year as well.'
So far, the Coalition hasn't made any funded policies on childcare. Tony Abbott says that, if elected, he would refer the issue of childcare to the Productivity Commission. He has also suggested that in-home nannies could be subsidised like other forms of childcare.
Professor Brennan supports the call for the Productivity Commission to look at the sector, but she isn't a fan of the proposed nanny scheme.
'Australia has taken giant steps down the path of a quality, regulated system. And I think we need to be very careful before we consider going down the nanny path. That we don't throw out the incredibly valuable system that we're starting to develop in Australia.'
The call for a Productivity Commission inquiry is also supported by Gwynn Bridge, the president of the Australian Childcare Alliance which represents the private childcare sector.
'We just can't have election promises thrown at childcare that are then eroded away—or taken away. We need to have a sustainable sector into the future for many, many years, and not find that families are in this bind about every ten or twelve years.'
'We also support the fact that the Coalition is promising to set up a planning advisory system so that they can make sure services are built where the need is actually determined. And that will help the accessibility for families.'
In the end though, there's no going back to the workforce if you have to wait a couple of years to get a childcare place.

Gee, you mean there's not enough child care places, as in another Labor failure. How many child care centres were promised, and how many actually got built? Thankfully Labor supporters have some adults to whine at about this shortfall, otherwise they would still be relying on Labor. Oh, and the money's gone.

A lady on $150,000 pays $43,000 tax.
A lady on $50,000 pays $8,000 tax.
If Abbotts paid parental leave scheme is unfair, then how much more
discriminatory is the tax scale?

I believe the PPL is overly generous but seriously trying to link the value of the PPL scheme to child care places is ridiculous. My daughter (80K) earns more than her partner ($40k) so the new PPL scheme would mean she can stay home with here baby at $40k instead of having to return to work as the present inadequate and unfair scheme pays 10K. They simply can't afford the mortgage without the new scheme irrespective of future child care issues.
The argument here is like saying there is no point improving access in under developed countries to vaccinations or early childhood medical systems if you havent solved world hunger. It is better to have one step at a time in the right direction otherwise nothing happens at all..

I spend a lot of time in child care centres across the country and there are a number of issues raised in this article.
Vicki from Wollongong says she can't find 'quality' child care - so is the question of a lack of places or a lack of care parents deem as of a suitable quality.
If you want parents in the work force then subsidies are required.
I don't own or run a child care centre, I assess their $ value however to think all child care centre owners are wealthy and that the systen offers them some guarantee of wealth on the back of the government is wrong. Wages alone make up about 50% of turnover without super or leave entitlements (and the sector still acknowledges that workers are gnerally under paid but any increased costs will be passed onto parents), rent another 10%-12% - then you have consumables, food, insurance, repairs and maintenance, registration fees to be taken out of the remaining 30%-35% (after super and entitlements)
The sector needs on going support. To think it is the sector of the wealthy is a view of those with little knowledge of the sector

My memorably is that Swan put in place necessary funding and reforms for day care which was indeed generous and kicked off further placements. Now the Liberal Parental scheme is only copy cat of Labors loosening up the eligibility at the top end of salary scale which is great for mums and dads given ongoing salary creep. Now all sorts of figurs are being bandied about the actual costs which tend to make it the greatest reform since the Swany River dam and greater than NBN which is Labors showpiece . One puts money in mum and dads pockets ,back out into the economy, the other makes our business competitive and good for shareholders . The problem as I see it is Labor and Liberal have swapped roles again.

6 months fully paid maternity leave may encourage people to have babies, but I'm not convinced it'll keep women in the workforce at their full potential over the long run - it's not just being able to take the first 6 - 12 months off work that makes starting and raising a family feasible and affordable. Once you're juggling a couple of kids returning to the workforce full time gets wearying - rushing 2 or 3 children out the door early, rushing home late to throw a meal together, doing all household chores on the weekend, realising just how much time the kids are spending in someone else's care etc. If you're not earning much you start wondering why you're doing so much rushing just to send almost all your income to the daycare centre. If you're lucky enough to have 2 good incomes then you start wondering if you really need them both at full time or if your family life would be better with less money but more time together.
Most couples have at least 7 or 8 months' notice that a baby's on the way, and any who are planning for one should be working out if they can afford it by putting one income aside for a period before starting to try (especially higher earning couples). I'm all for a PPL scheme, but if the intention is to keep women in the workforce or encourage them to keep climbing towards senior corporate roles over the long run then the solution's less about an initial, overly generous shot of cash (perhaps to keep people hooked on spending their full incomes so the money goes into the market instead of being saved) and more about creating jobs that provide professional challenge, fulfilment and promotion opportunities that also enable people to have a satisfactory family life. This probably means encouraging the creation of meaty (and well paid) part time roles - these can be hard to find if you're trying to re-enter the job market.
Instead of more mothers climbing the corporate ladder, I forsee a situation where mothers return to full time work between babies for just long enough to qualify for another 6 months of paid leave and then drop down to part time (or stay at home mum) for the pre-school years of their final baby.

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games now available for download
After months of waiting, and the odd invasion of a city centre or two, Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is now available for download on the BBC's dedicated website.
Well, the first episode "City of the Daleks" is anyway. And only on PC at the moment (Mac owners will have to wait a couple of weeks - until June 15). But it's ready and absolutely free.
The plot sees the Doctor take Amy Pond to see The Beatles in 1963, only to discover that somebody, or something, has been mucking about with timelines, placing them in an alternate London populated by Daleks.
It's the start of a journey through the Who-niverse that will thrill fans young and old: "Players get to use the Sonic Screwdriver themselves, which is pretty cool," says head writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat. "And jump between different times. Plus, you'll meet one of the most evil creations in the whole of time and space. So whilst it's fun, it's also scary - exactly as an episode of Doctor Who should be."
Plot details and release dates of the second episode are yet to be revealed but, considering the Cybermen have been appearing in screengrabs of late, we suspect they might have something to do with it.

Cooperating Rivals
The initial tight relationship between VMware and Microsoft benefited both companies, Horschman said: VMware could virtualize Windows environments, which also gave it access to Microsoft clients. The two companies also have support agreements that make it easier for users to find help for their VMware-virtualized environments, he said.The key difference, Horschman said, is that Hyper-V is part of Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 operating system. Conversely, VMware is moving its hypervisor technology away from the operating system. The latest example is ESXi, released late last year, which is an operating system-independent hypervisor that can be integrated into the server or used as a stand-alone hard drive install. "It takes a huge chunk of the software out of play," which increases security around the virtual machines by separating them from the malware and other vulnerabilities in operating systems, Horschman said. "These are two fundamentally different views of where the hypervisor should go." Not so, said Jeff Woolsey, senior program manager for Hyper-V. "I would contend that [VMware's] ESX [Server] is an operating system," Woolsey said. He also said there is an advantage for users in having a virtualization hypervisor tightly integrated with the slew of capabilities Microsoft offers in Windows Server 2008. Woolsey disagreed with Horschman's assessment that Hyper-V is little more than a first-generation hypervisor, little more than what VMware was offering several years ago. Woolsey said a few dozen customers are running production environments on the Hyper-V beta, and that Microsoft itself is using the beta to run its TechNet and MSDN Web sites, which get a combined 4 million hits a day. "These have been running in Hyper-V since the beta, and there has been no problem," he said. He also pointed out there there are more than 175 servers that have been qualified for Hyper-V, and that the technology offers high-availability and failover cluster capabilities. That means if the physical server goes down, those virtual machines running on it automatically are switched to other physical systems. At this point, Woolsey said, the only key advantage VMware holds over Microsoft is the ability to migrate live virtual machines, something VMware offers in its VMotion technology. Woolsey said the live migration capabilities will be available in the next version of Hyper-V. He declined to say when that will be released. "We feel good about the performance and management" of Hyper-V, Woolsey said, pointing out that Microsoft testing showed Hyper-V outperforming ESX.
However, with Hyper-V on the horizon, the two are about to ramp up the competition knowing that they will have to continue cooperating as well. That doesn't keep the officials of either company from pointing out perceived weaknesses of the other.
