Growing Support for
Smokefree Casinos
With state regulated and tribal gaming expanding at an exponential rate, casinos and other gaming venues are emerging as huge employers for local and state economies. Nationwide, casinos provide over one million jobs. Smokefree casinos ensure that these jobs don't sicken or kill the people they employ.
If smoking is allowed within a casino, both employees and patrons are at risk. Secondhand smoke exposure from commercial tobacco is known to cause heart diseases, lung cancer and other breathing problems.
The CDC has created an infographic Going Smokefree Matters - Casinos, which describes the impact of secondhand smoke exposure in these venues.
Palace Casino Resort in Biloxi has the only 100% smokefree gaming floor in Biloxi and in all of Mississippi. Its a great place to stay if you are in the area. Staff we spoke with love working in a clean air environment.
Get the facts. Read ANR's 4-page document on Smokefree Tribal Casinos and our Smokefree Casinos fact sheet on smokefree casinos in general.
We are proud to share the following video stories with you, as told by former and current casino workers, policymakers, and others across the country. We hope you are able to watch them and possibly even share them with others to raise awareness about the serious dangers of smoke in casinos, especially to gaming employees. If you have casinos in your area, please let them know you support 100% smokefree indoor air for worker and customer health. Ventilation systems do not protect people from the health hazards of secondhand smoke. Fighting For Smokefree Air: Secondhand Smoke in Casinos: This 16-minute documentary produced by ANRF invites you into the lives of casino workers and their struggle for a safe smokefree work environment. For more information or to get involved in the smokefree casino movement, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Treva's Story: Treva shares her story of what it
is like to work in casinos. Treva is now a casino dealer in a smokefree
casino and she loves it! President Ben Shelly talks about the importance
of taking care of the health of the Navajo people, including those working
at tribal casinos within Navajo Nation. This interview was conducted
after he had recently signed his Executive Order making all workplaces
commercial tobacco-free on the Navajo Nation (2011). His Executive Order
was later overturned and is currently not in place. Cynthia's Story: Cynthia F. has been dealing at
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for decades. She loves her job, but hates
the smoke. Cynthia, a nonsmoker, used to be much more physically active
but the daily exposure to secondhand smoke has made it difficult to
breathe and she can no longer do the things she once loved. Vinny's Story: After decades working at a smoke-filled casino, Vincent "Vinny" Rennich found out he had lung cancer. He had never smoked. Hear how he fought back, and won. Secondhand smoke cost Vinny part of his lung. Speaking up about it cost him his job. The good news is that lung surgery was successful, and Vinny is now cancer-free. He says his destiny now is to inspire others in the fight for smokefree air. Vinny now works in a smokefree casino, but there are many casino workers who don't have that option in their area Jane's Story: Jane K. started dealing in 1995. She talks about about what it is like to work in a casino. Both the joys of the job, and the one and only thing she says she didn't like: the secondhand smoke. She shares her story of what it was like to face the smoke day after day. Her doctor called it "the casino worker's disease... caused from the secondhand smoke". Shane's Story: Casino dealer Shane K. tells his story about what it is like to work in a smoke-filled environment and why no worker should be forced to work in an unhealthy environment. "People in Congress don't have to put up with the smoke. My CEO doesn't have to put up with the smoke, I don't know why I have to put up with the smoke" Sheryl's Story: Sheryl never smoked, but she worked
in casinos for decades. Ultimately, she developed throat cancer and
she lost her battle with throat cancer earlier this year. Sheryl Wilkins
was not only a great casino worker, she was a wife, a mother, and a
dear friend to many. She inspired us to keep educating people about
the dangers of secondhand smoke in casinos. She is dearly missed. James Repace, an expert in the physics of secondhand smoke, explains why ventilation is not an solution for addressing the health hazards of smoke in casinos. You can find all these stories and more on our YouTube page. We encourage you to share them with others to raise awareness about this serious issue. Thank you! |
CDC: Tips from Former Smokers
Bottom line, smokefree casinos protect worker health and save lives.
With the vast majority of casino patrons preferring smokefree air, public support
for smokefree gaming laws is at an all-time high.Smokefree casinos are becoming
the mainsteam norm. Some examples are the casinos opening smokefree in Ohio
- one of which even has a policy to only hire non-tobacco users. In Massachusetts,
over a dozen casino operators are competing for the four casino licenses. These
properties will have to be smokefree and will employ thousands of people. In
Colorado, casinos are investing and improving properties as smokefree entertainment
Get the facts. Read ANR's Secondhand Smoke and Casinos and our 4-page May 2015 document on smokefree casinos.

As more cities, counties, states, and entire nations enact 100% smokefree workplace laws, keeping casinos smoke-filled is no longer the status quo. In the United States, 20 states, Washington DC, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have enacted smokefree gaming laws.
Take a look at our list of U.S. Smokefree Casinos and Gambling Facilities. There are at least 500 state-regulated gambling facilities that are required to be 100% smokefree indoors. Of the casinos and other facilities listed below, most are required by state law to be smokefree. Additionally, gambling facilities marked with an * are not required by law to be smokefree, but are smokefree by their own corporate policy. This list does not include all off-track betting (OTB) facilities.
Despite opposition efforts to divert the message away from worker health with arguments of economic downturns, the evidence speaks for itself:
"We opened 100% smoke-free in 1997. We've expanded 100%
smoke-free. And even smokers thank us for it."
- Mark Kaplan, former Marketing Director, Taos Mountain Casino, Taos, New Mexico

Casinos are workplaces. Listen to this radio ad to hear casino employee Vinny Rennich's story. Vinny Rennich is the winner of ANR's 2007 Smokefree Hero of the Year Award.
The ANR Foundation is pleased to release "Fighting for Smokefree Casinos: Vinny's Story", the first in a series of personal interviews about secondhand smoke in casinos. The video series will contain interviews with casino employees, advocates, researchers and elected officials as they share their perspective on why casinos must be 100% smokefree.
Smokefree tribal casinos:
As sovereign nations, tribal governments are not required to follow state law, but given the significant negative health effects of smoking, and the disproportionate morbidity and mortality among Native Americans for use of and exposure to commercial tobacco, that many tribes are voluntarily making casinos smokefree and expanding existing commercial tobacco-free tribal policies to include casinos.

A 2010 study examined indoor air samples within over half of California's tribal casinos and found that both patrons and workers are gambling with their health every time they enter these casinos:

Ventilation does not work:
A federal report from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) shows workers in Las Vegas casinos are exposed to dangerous levels of secondhand smoke at work.
Results from the report indicate dangerous levels of secondhand
smoke exposure present at all casinos tested, regardless of ventilation
systems. Toxins from secondhand smoke were absorbed into workers' bodies at
growing levels during their shifts.
Authors reported the only way to protect the health of casino workers was a 100% smokefree workplace environment. The report also confirmed that ventilation systems cannot remove health risks.
Gaming industry workers typically suffer higher occupational exposure to secondhand smoke, putting them at greater risk for lung and heart disease and DNA damage. As has been proven time and time again, ventilation does not eliminate all the poisonous toxins and chemical components of secondhand smoke. The science is clear. Ventilation systems or air cleaning technologies may reduce odor, but they do not address the serious health risks caused by secondhand smoke exposure. Health studies of casino workers looking at actual bio-markers of exposure show that ventilation systems do little if anything to reduce worker exposure to secondhand smoke. Examples of bio-markers used to assess exposure to secondhand smoke include cotinine or tobacco-specific carcinogens like NNK. Secondhand tobacco smoke has a non-linear dose response, and there is no known safe level of exposure. Serious health impacts, especially to the cardiovascular system occur quickly at even at extremely low levels of exposure. The only way to eliminate the health hazards of secondhand smoke is with a 100% smokefree environment.

Why Choose Us?
At Swish Connect, we have a million reasons why you should be choosing us as your partner for online success. But here are just a few:
11 Years and Counting
With experience in the web industry since 1998, Swish Connect is one of the longest serving providers of web hosting and web design solutions in Australia. While other providers are popping up and closing down just as fast, Swish Connect goes from strength to strength with an enviable reputation for great customer service and reliability.
100% Australian
Swish Connect was established in Melbourne, Australia and we continue to focus on the online needs of individuals, small to medium businesses and corporations in Australia.
We are proudly 100% Australian owned and operated, and all of our servers are strictly based within Australia. We are Australian, and we focus on Australians!
45 Day Money-back Guarantee
We have an amazing track record of customer satisfaction, and we are so confident that you'll love our services that we provide a 45 day, unconditional, money-back guarantee on all web hosting plans. If you are dissatisfied with your service for any reason, you will receive a full refund if you cancel your account within 45 days of activation - now that's peace of mind.
Green and Carbon Neutral
Proving web hosting services used a LOT of electricity. All those servers, air conditioners, network equipment and the like use a massive amount of electricity. At Swish Connect, we take every step to ensure we are giving back.
We use 100% Accredited Renewable Green Power, and we offset our CO2 emissions to ensure we have a zero carbon footprint. Visit our
Green and Carbon Neutral
page for more details.
Legendary Support
We take Support to the next level. All customers are provided with all year round support - true 24/7/365 support when you need it most. The internet never sleeps, and neither do we.
We understand that your website needs to be online 24/7, and we understand that if it goes down it costs you money. We are always here to make sure that never happens ... and even if you accidentally delete all your files at 3am in the morning - we'll fix it for you!
The Best Hardware
We are dedicated to uptime, speed and reliability. To achieve this requires nothing short of the best hardware available on the planet. We only deal with premium hardware to ensure it can handle anything our demanding customers can throw at it.
While other web hosting providers are skimping on equipment, we invest heavily in hardware so that you can have peace of mind.
The Best Network
Utilising Australia's top bandwidth providers, we have established a network with growing capacity and faster response times than ever before.
The core network is fully redundant, from diverse fiber feeds to core switching Cisco networking equipment providing a truly multi-homed network for all traffic – local, national and international.
Daily Backups
Disaster Recovery is often overlooked as a critical part of any operation. At Swish Connect however, we have an almost obsessive focus on backups and disaster recovery. We don't just take backups ... we take backups of the backups of the backups. Confusing?
Essentially, every piece of data within our infrastructure is backed on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule. We then take backups of those backups, and then take another backup of those backups and store them offsite for yet another level of protection.
Realistic Pricing
At Swish Connect, we believe in value and affordability, but we also believe in realistic pricing that will allow us to stay profitable so that we can continue to provide the best services you can imagine.
Sure, there are hosts offering the world for $1.99 per month - but they never last - and when they die so does your website.
We aren't the cheapest, and we don't aim to be ... instead we aim to provide you the best value your money can buy, wrapped up in a level of peace and security that allows you to sleep easy at night knowing your website and emails are online, always!

The upper back of your legs, or hamstrings, consist of three muscle groups, which include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus. These muscles work together to perform two primary movements -- hip extension and knee flexion. When you run, your hamstrings draw your heels toward your buttocks. By building strength and power in your hamstrings, you can lengthen your stride and improve performance in competition. A combination of resistance training, hill or stair running and jumping exercises can help to firm up the backs of your legs.
Hamstring Curls
1. Attach an ankle collar to the low pulley of a cable machine. Secure the collar around your right ankle.
2. Stand about two to three feet away from the machine with your body facing the machine.
3. Raise and extend your right leg in front of you so it forms a 45-degree angle relative to your body.
4. Bend your right knee slowly to draw the lower leg up toward your buttocks. Form a 90-degree angle with your right knee.
5. Hold the peak position for a second and then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Perform eight reps for three sets and then repeat on the other leg.
Tuck Jumps
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend your knees and sink your hips down into a half squat. Keep your hands by your sides as if you're holding invisible ski poles.
3. Jump up toward the ceiling and simultaneously lift both knees. Try and touch your knees to your chest. Keep your arms by your sides and avoid using them to gain momentum.
4. Return to the starting position, first touching the ground with the balls of your feet. Perform 10 to 20 reps.
Hill Running
1. Perform a 10- to 15-minute warm-up run.
2. Select a slope that is about 33 to 273 yards long.
3. Shorten your stride as you run up the slope, maintaining the same turnover rhythm as your run.
4. Push off with a light ankle-flick for each stride without resorting to explosive and energy-wasting movement. Keep your feet low to the ground and your breathing cycle calm and regular.
5. Run through the slope's peak without slowing down. Gradually decelerate as you loop around to go back down the hill.
6. Accelerate the pace on your descent gradually, maintaining control of your lower body. Progressively lengthen your stride and increase your turnover.
7. Perform four to five hill runs. Boost intensity by increasing the number of reps or compressing the recovery time between hill runs.
Things Needed
- Cable machine
- Ankle collar
- Perform five to 10 minutes of light cardio to prepare your hamstring muscles for resistance training or jumping. Also, do dynamic stretching, such as forward and backward leg swings, through a comfortable range of motion.
- All too often a pop is heard when a cold hamstring muscle has been thrust into a high knee or leg extension. If you don't warm up and loosen your leg muscles prior to exercise, you can risk straining, pulling or tearing your hamstrings.

The two society girls, who star in the BBC2 fashion makeover show What Not To Wear, were knocked out as they slept by robbers who placed chloroform-soaked pad over their mouths.
While they lay unconscious in bed the robbers took credit cards and cash and even stripped their fingers of rings.
A friend of Susannah, a former girlfriend of Viscount Linley, said today: "They woke up one morning and their hands felt sticky, there was a funny smell in the room and they both felt hungover.
"Trinny doesn't drink at all and Susannah doesn't drink enough to make much of a difference. It transpired they had been chloroformed and all their jewellery had been stolen. The thieves had broken into the room with a plastic card and took everything - even the rings from their fingers."
The pair had been on the French Riviera to film an episode of their BBC2 show What Not To Wear from the Cannes Film Festival. Susannah, 39, is married to cigarette entrepreneur Stan Bertelsen.

Tie-Dye Tutorial
Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Welcome
Its been a long time since this blog has been used. Ive wiped the few posts clear and wish to embark on a new venture of craft creations and tutorials.
I was asked recently to create a step by step tutorial for tie-dyeing. Granted there are many tutorials out there, some seemed quite dated and i wanted to give it a fresh approach. Tie-Dyeing is very on trend at the moment, and with all the glorious weather we've been having in the UK, it seemed the perfect opportunity to brighten up my wardrobe a bit, with a little something new :)
I hope you enjoy.
If you are using a brand new t-shirt and you find its not taking up the colour, you can mist your top with a water bottle lightly and give it a little squeeze to help. Hope you have fun!

Easy, Tasty Sourdough Buttermilk Biscuits
Recipe by Red Apple Guy
If you have a sourdough starter, this is a way to significantly improve the flavor of homemade bisuits. For this recipe, feed your starter with equal weights of flour and water for a very thick batter consistency.
Top Review by Dust Bunny
Fabulous flavor. Best tasting biscuits ever! Delicate crunch yet fluffy inside. This recipe is a definite keeper! So easy too.
See Discussion:
1 ReviewIngredients Nutrition
- 2 cups self-rising flour (like Martha White- chilled)
- 1⁄3 cup butter (very cold)
- 1 cup buttermilk (cold)
- 1⁄4 cup sourdough starter (100% hydrated or thick paste consistency)
- more self-rising flour, for surface
- Heat oven to 450°F.
- All ingredients should be well chilled.
- In a bowl, add buttermilk to the starter and stir well to break up and dissolve the starter.
- Add the flour to a large, clean bowl and grate the butter into the flour stirring often or cut the butter into small pieces and mix with the flour using a pastry blending tool or a fork. Add the buttermilk mixing in more and more flour until all the flour is involved and the dough is sticky, gummy and on the verge of being "too wet". Add additional buttermilk if needed or flour.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and with flour on your hands make into a very soft dough, sprinkling a little extra self-rising flour over it all as needed until no longer sticky. Try not to work the dough at all or anymore than necessary for it to be consistent throughout. Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet or greased cast iron skillet.
- Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.

I watched this recently and wondered what any monitoring Starfleet outposts must have thought about the situation. How far out did the causality loop expand? Did it end around the vicinity of the Enterprise after it was thrown back? We know that time continued on outside of the loop, hence the sixteen/seventeen days that were lost. Shouldn't Admiral Necheyev have sent Picard a jingle to tell him to quit stalling and get to his next assignment? Edit: Surely the combined matter/antimatter explosions of the Enterprise and Bozeman colliding should have alerted Starfleet sensors that something was amiss. Especially FOUR matter/antimatter explosions in the same area of space in under three weeks.
"Well, I'M just glad we've decided that my progenitor wasn't an idiot for 90 years!" - my profile pic, holographic ship computer avatar and second officer of U.S.S. Triumphant, Lt. Cmdr Richard Bateson
We've never seen the entire main shuttle bay of course, but if we were to go by some of the blueprints released through the years and the known size of the door, it would take several seconds to vent the atmosphere. Yet the Enterprise does move sufficiently far to avoid the collision, with the shuttle bay's atmosphere as the only propulsion. So consider, part of the impulse drive includes "space-time driver coils" that reduces the Enteprise's mass, thus making it possible for the impulse engine's thrust to move the ship. Now from dialog the impulse engine were not producing thrust (neither were the maneuvering thrusters) , but if the driver coils themselves were still in operation, this would enable the thrust from the shuttle deck's open doors to move the Enterprise. Again, the Enterprise does move.
That is what I always thought as well. Also, remember that the Bozeman crew (what little we saw of them) didn't show any signs of deja vu or uneasiness like the Ent-D crew did. Captain Bateson had absolutely no idea that there had ever been a time warp.
But, that's giving them the credit of the mass-reducing coils operating. If they're not there's not enough mass being expelled from the shuttlebay to move the mass of the ship. Equal and opposite reaction. 6,000 tonnes is not equal to 4.5 million tonnes. The air in the shuttlebay can only move 6,000 tonnes, its own mass. It might slightly ever nudge the ship a teeny, tiny, iota of a bit. But certainly not to move as much, or as quickly, as we see it move in the episode.
I just thought it was only the E-D that was caught in the loop, and that the Bozemen essentially entered a portal or wormhole that was a single straight-shot to the 24th century. After all, the normal humans of the E-D figured out that they were in the loop, but were slowly suspecting that they might be going a bit crazy in the process (deja vu and the confusion that comes with it), and that was only 16 days. If the Bozeman was in a loop for 100 years, they would've been extremely frustrated to the point of insanity by the time they escaped, assuming they could detect residual memories the way our heroes did, which could culminate into what Bill Murray experienced in the middle of Groundhog Day before accepting his fate. However, judging by how calm and collected everyone on the Bozeman was, I doubt that they went through hell. (On the plus side for the E-D crew, if they die of old age, it'll probably be 16 days later than they were supposed to. Barring further time travel incidents, of course.)
You are aware that the maneuvering thrusters can also move the ship, or are you of the position that they generate four and a half million tons of thrust? The facts of the episode is that solely through venting the main shuttle bay the Enterprise moved far enough in the given time availible to avoid the collision. And in a zero gee environmet you actually don't need one to one thrust to move something.
We don't know enough about how the thrusters or really how anything on the ship works. Presumably the thrusters are powered by the same fusion reactors the impulse engines are and aren't chemical rockets. It's also likely the thrusters are also aided by any mass-reducing technomagic on the ship. And the facts of the entire series is that the ship can at it's best can move 2000 times the speed of light and converting matter to pure energy is done without much thought. What's your point? In the episode the ship had a major ship-wide power failure and the engines and thrusters were not available to them. Apparently they had only, at the minimum, two options available to them. Decompress the shuttlebay or use the tractor beam. Mass and Zero-G have nothing to do with one another. Objects in space still have mass and it still takes mass/energy to move that mass and to do it you need an equal or greater force. Saying "you don't need one-to-one" thrust to move something is like saying that if the ISS stops moving an astronaut can just get out and push. And not really "push" but just get out and give the ISS a single, quick, instant tap with the slightest of effort and the ISS will go flying away from him. And even if you don't need a 1-1 ratio I'm pretty sure a 1-750 ratio is giving them too much.
According to the ST: TNG Technical Manual, each of the Enterprise D's malnuvering thrusters generates about 510 metric tonnes of thrust. They employ a fusion reaction and emit plasma gas. In other words they eject material to generate thrust, just like a chemical rocket. And by venting the main shuttle bay the Enterprise moved. Incidentally the maneuvering thrusters on the old space shuttle produced 870 pounds of thrust, that about a 1 to 260 thrust to weight/mass ratio. So the thrust from the depressurizing shuttle bay could have been pushing against a much lower mass ... right? Let's try this, let's say that you want to push a stalled car. All by yourself. And the car weighs 4,000 pound. You're on a level road. Do you honestly think that you would have to push that car with 4,000 pounds of force in order to get it to move? Really? Realistically (unless you a strapping fellow) you going to be pushing with less than hundred pound of force, but you're still going to get the car moving in a short period of time.
I get what you're saying, I just stiil find it very, very hard to believe that single, instant, burst of air from the shuttlebay was enough to make the Enterprise fly out of the way so quickly and effectively.
Yeah, this is one of my favorite episodes despite all of the glaring problems. In order for the Bozeman to be caught in this loop, it needed to collide with the Enterprise D. So... it was in this just as long as the Enterprise. The initial impact is what caused the loop to happen. The distortion caused the Bozeman to jump forward in time, so they weren't stuck in a loop for decades. No way to leave a pod behind. As soon as the loop restarts, the pod is back in the bay. I think you're absolutely right Trekker4747, that the air from the shuttle bay wouldn't have been enough to push the Enterprise out of the way. The thing that always bugged me about this episode is that once the Bozeman is spotted, there is quite a bit of time wasted debating about what to do. In my version, Data would have sent a message to himself, some number or symbol that would have an association with the tractor beam [at least in Data's neural net]. The idea being that he use the tractor beam ASAP. Data would have known it to be right move and not wasted time considering Riker's suggestion. Get that tractor beam in action about 15 seconds or more ahead of when they actually used it in the failed loops and it would have been enough for the Enterprise to clear out of the way of the Bozeman.
If you're going to question the ending you might as well also question why nobody got the idea to randomize their flight path using cosmic radiation that would be different on every loop, guaranteeing that in the next few loops they wouldn't encounter the problem.
Or vent the flight deck sooner to give them room to spare. It occurred to me that solely using the tractor beam wouldn't have solved all of the Enterprise's problems, in addition to the collision (the bigger problem), the Enterprise was suffering power problems too, but soon after they moved that problem went away. I think it was simply moving from that one spot in space (directly inline with the throat of the space whatsit) that solve the power problem, they didn't have to change position by very much, but they did need to move. The tractor beam wouldn't have accomplished that.

With all his contradictions, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the fathers of modern literature and the Duino Elegies one of its great monuments.
Begun in 1912 but not completed until 1922, they are `modern' in almost every sense the word has acquired; yet Rilke was by temperament anti-moderhn, a snob and a romantic.
He was devoted to the three A's: Architecture, Agriculture, Aristocracy. The Duino Elegies aroused real excitement among English readers when the now-dated Leishman/Spender versions first appeared in the 1930s.
Stephen Cohn, the distinguished artist and teacher, has worked for over three years to complete this outstanding new translation.
Peter Porter writes: `Your translation must have grandeur, essential size in its component parts, and speed to catch the marvellous twists of Rilke's imagination.' He adds, `Cohn has met all these requirements.' These versions show a rare empathy with the originals and an instinct for the right diction and cadence.
They are, says Porter, `the most flowing and organic I have read.'

As crime increasingly crosses national boundaries, and international co-operation takes firmer shape, so the development of ideas and policy on the control of crime has become an increasingly international and transnational affair. These developments call attention not just to the many points of convergence in the languages and practices of crime control but also to their persistent differences.
This book is concerned both with the very specific issue of 'policy… (more)

Back to Our Beginning
by C L Scholey
Earth is under assault. Mother Nature is striking back. Tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, and massive flooding attack the world in a horrendous blow killing three quarters of the world's population. High temperatures broil certain areas whereas others are struck with sudden freezing. Amidst the chaos a woman, her three daughters and two friends try to make sense of it all as they battle for existence in a world run amok.
A safe haven in the mines up north is found after death and loss plague the survivors. The twenty-first century no longer exists. Time has become a game of survival. The seasons battle for dominance amidst the destruction. Life on Earth as we know it is no more.

Good value for the money. Room and bathroom is small, but perfect for 1 or 2 people. TV screen is tiny and far away, but that's my only complaint. This hotel is located just a couple blocks from the Nord station.

A man locked in a bitter development feud with a Perth council has resorted to extreme measures to eject a council worker from his land, picking up the man's car with a forklift and dumping it.
Video of the incident reveals the men locked in a verbal dispute before a forklift sweeps in, picks up the silver SUV and backs it down the driveway.
The incident took place on Brook Road in Kenwick, in Perth's southeast, on Tuesday.
The incident is believed to have been sparked by an ongoing fight between the land owner and Gosnells council over a development on his property, which has received public complaints.
The council confirmed the incident took place when a compliance officer showed up to investigate.
"Following an incident involving the property owner and city officers, statements have been made to Gosnells police who are now investigating," City of Gosnells CEO Ian Cowie told ninemsn in a statement.
WA Police confirmed the incident is being investigated but said no charges have yet been laid.

Educate the Girl, Empower the Woman - IPS ipsnews.net - 0 views
Picture a mother, hunching over a field with a Medieval-style hoe in hand, spending day after day tilling the soil under a beating hot sun - only to retire home to care for her family without electricity or running water.
This is not a 12th century image, but a typical working day for scores of rural women in today's developing world, where lack of access to education and technology has forced many to resort to traditional and often painful methods of livelihood. -
Women in Law and Development in Africa (WILDAF), a pan- African network bringing together individuals and organisations from 23 countries, is among the key regional groups tackling this issue head on.
WILDAF believes lack of knowledge about education rights, specifically among young girls, is one of the main reasons forcing rural people to endure lives of agricultural hardship. -
"We want to teach them how to develop projects, from tilling the ground to seeding, all the way through to packaging at an international level so the food will be accepted by everybody in other countries," she said.
Agu cited a project where female farmers of moringa – a nutritious African plant – were able to increase the efficiency and ease of production, through simple modern conveniences. - ...3 more annotations...

The typical asking rate per listing is in the $40's per square foot per year. The Victory Park region is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $4 per sqft per year. That's a 9% decline in rent.
Compared to the rest of the DFW Metroplex market, the Victory Park submarket has more expensive rates, and you'll need to pay a premium to be in this hot submarket.
In the last 90 days, 8 listings have been made available, which means new listings most likley are leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 23,440 sqft, there are still 0 new availabilities below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this market are around 7 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 2006 and are Class A.
A large portion of this region is residential, but there's plenty of office_space. Arts, entertainment, and restaurants are the dominant industries in this region. Most of the folk of Victory Park work from home. Commuting around 10 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Great post.Hence why in my opinion Rogers has to open.He is an opener a better one at that than Cowan.Warner has played some great knocks opening.Warner will obviously remain at the top.Rogers and Warner opening combination is the way to go.If Cowan is going to play the first test selectors neeD to ask themselves - Can he bat at 3,4?Is he a bétter fit thAn Hughes,Khawaja and WAtson?
Its hard but you have to try and guess what the selectors will do. I think they'll stick with Cowan so Warner opens with him. Clarke is at 5 and they'll stick with Hughes and Watson for his bowling. Questions are where to put them and who takes the last spot.
Judging from the unusual pattern of picking Usman for the squad but leaving him out of the team I think they'll pick Rogers as the last batsman. They might take the opportunity of using him as a human shield for Hughes then. I mean they've done it before. So Rogers at 3 and Hughes at 4. Maybe the idea is grooming Hughes for the 3 spot if Rogers does well. That leaves Watson at 6.
Haddin the keep.
Patpat, Sids and Lyon to bowl. I think the selectors want Lyon for the change up. Last bowling spot btwn Starc, Harris and Bird. Harris' fitness being the key. If he's a worry I think they'll pick Starc for his left arm variety and his usefulness with the bat. Therefore;
Cowan, Warner, Rogers, Hughes, Clarke, Watson, Haddin, Starc, Pattinson, Siddle, Lyon.
^that's pretty close to Australia's best team IMO.
Starc will likely miss out to Harris or Bird though. Which I think would be a mistake given Starc will probably relish the swing most of all of the bowlers.
A future attack of Pattinson, Bird, Starc is pretty imposing.
Wasn't Johnson ment to relish the swing in 2009, after using it so effectively against South Africa a few months before?
I really don't think Starc is one of Australia best three seamers for a test match at the moment. He has loads of potential, but he just isn't there yet IMO. He's a tad wayward and has never really swung it consistently from the stuff I've seen of him. He's also far too likely to have a meltdown where he delivers nothing but garbage for a long period, such as at the WACA against South Africa.
IMO, he's in the same camp as Finn, where he's his sides best bowler in one day cricket, but not quite there yet with the red ball. I think they'll both probably play the first test as well, but neither would be my first preference for either side.
Starc is our 5th best bowler. Should not play in the first test.
Want to be the online Don Bradman or Ian Salisbury?
Then join CW Cricket today. It's what all the cool kids desire.

RIP Hughesy 1988-2014
Johnson has never really been a swing bowler though. Very occasionally when all the moons align he does swing it - and even so I think people have sometimes misinterpreted seam movement for swing in his case (lots of deliveries in South Africa being a prime example) - but he's never been a consistent swinger of the ball. Starc on the other hand has always been a swing bowler; it's not something he's had to alter his game to try and add.
I'm not saying Starc should definitely play, but the constant comparisons with Mitchell ****ing Johnson are really beginning to grind my gears.
B-b-but Cribb, they're both left armers who can bat a bit called Mitchell. Of course they're comparable in every way
I have to agree with those saying Starc isn't quite there, but he does throw some variety into the attack (genuine swing, left arm, tall). I think the attack always looks a little more imposing with him in it, but I certainly have time for those saying there are better bowlers than him. I'd like to see Bird and Harris come before him.
Yeah, that comment was probably unnecessary, don't really know why I posted it. There were definitely people who thought Johnson would be more effective with a Duke though, and I do have my doubts about Starc suddenly gunning it with a dark red in his hand. I guess that was the comparison I was trying to make.
Also, people talk about how the Duke will help the Aussie swing bowlers, but they also seem to forget the fact that the Duke has a much more pronounced seam, which means the seam bowlers will be aided.
Anyway, this would probably be my Aussie seamers pecking order at the moment. Will probably be different after the warm up games, but for now.
1. Pattinson
2. Siddle
3. Harris/Bird
5. Starc
6. Faulkner
The first two are locks for the first test in my eyes. I'd probably give Harris the nod if he's fully fit and has proven himself in the warm ups. If not; Bird. The first five will probably all play a part in the series at some point anyway.
also, if there was a test not to play Lyon, it would be on this tour (not ****ing India)
Does anyone know what the broadcast rights to this will be and what sort of coverage will we get in Oz??
Obviously it will be on Sky, any FTA coverage??
The past 2 Ashes in England SBS have had re--broadcast rights and have done a bloody great job with it. I "think" I heard a while back that Sky Sports have sold re broadcasting rights over here to Channel 9?? Anyone confirm this??
And if Channel 9 do have it, what would be the chances of those muppets showing every session?? I fear they wont show it in prime time (play will start at 8pm Aus Eastern time) even though they do have the extra digital channels now.
Anyone got any insight or ideas??
I find it pretty lols that Australia get the Ashes on FTA whereas the English don't.
