On Thursday, November 8, the JCC Denver is proud to conduct the first-ever Annual Dinner and Celebration at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and we want to see YOU there!
Wait, hold the phone––this isn't the first Annual Dinner. This has been a cherished event in our community for years!
And you're right, dear friends. But this year, it's a little different. This year…it's a celebration of where we've been and where we're headed. Our 2018 Annual Dinner and Celebration is the ultimate conceptualization of our new motto: "It's a New Day at the J." Where better to echo this effort than our re-envisioned Annual Dinner?
This year, we are thrilled to honor and celebrate the 34 transformational donors who funded the historical transaction that took place in June. These donors stepped up and led our community through this transitional time, and if that isn't something to celebrate…we don't know what is (Cheers to that extended cocktail hour, right?).
You might be asking yourself, "Why did they do it? Why now?" The answer is simple: these donors, above all else, love and believe in the J. They understand the positive impact that the JCC has on our Denver community, and for that reason alone, we are positively elated to celebrate their support and generosity.
At the dinner, all 34 benefactors will be honored throughout the night, including visual representation and highlights of the heart-felt reasons why they decided to step up at this pivotal moment in the J's history. During the award ceremony, all 34 honorees will receive a Robert E. Loup Hineni Award Medal of Honor––a representation of their continued philanthropy and volunteerism in the Jewish community.

Regardless of whether you're working for a company where you're comfortable or you're working somewhere that you despise, it is always very important to consider work place safety and the consequences that could come about from it. Work place safety is not always taken very seriously by employers which is why it is crucial that employees look out for their safety.
The work place is usually a busy place and your employees might even be too busy to do anything about safety procedures. However, implementing safety measure within the company is very important and required.
If you're somebody who is struggling to feel comfortable in your job, the tips that are given will definitely come in handy to you.
Whether you're a construction worker and you're always worried about the warehouse safety solutions that are in place or you're a woman in a desk job who gets verbally harassed by other employees, it is always important to consider your own safety.
The Correct Posture
One of the common things that we forget in terms of our safety and wellbeing is the importance of maintain good posture because if you're at a desk job where you're spending majority of your time seated behind a desk, it is important to maintain good posture and find a comfortable chair that will not cause you discomfort.
If you're sitting in the wrong manner, this can cause a lot of discomfort for you and it can even lead to serious injuries and back pain that could alter and change your life in a big way forever.
Report The Issues
Whether you're being harassed verbally in your day job or you're coming across safety hazards, it is very important for you to inform your higher management or your superior about these kinds of issues so that action can be taken and the safety of the employees ensured.
Reporting the issues that you come across is the best way to ensure the safety of the employees and also help bring light to some situations that seem to be occurring within the confines of your work place.
Reduce Your Stress
We all know that stress can have very negative effects on our bodies and even out mental health and therefore, it is very important to reduce your stress by taking breaks from time to time and allowing your mind to not get overwhelmed.
Burnout is something that many people experience so if you want to avoid experiencing burnout, you definitely should work towards reducing your stress levels.

Grief Education
Who is Your Role Model for Healthy Grief?
I often ask others, "Who was or is your role model for healthy grief?" As I wait for their reply, I can see their mental rolodex whirling through the list of significant people in their lives. Nearly 100% respond, "I don't have anyone."
As a grief educator I am passionate about raising grief awareness so that we, as a culture, can be better prepared to grieve well and/or support someone who is grieving. These are the ways you can learn about grief or grief support from our services:
- Video
- Blogs
- Facebook posts
- Articles
- Cards and book
- Grief coaching
- Seminars
- Workshops
- In the workplace
- For the Spiritual community
As we meet "new friends," Steve and I are open to join in any conversation about loss, broken hearts, trauma, sorrow, and mourning. We find that people want and need to talk about their pain. We are willing to listen and they are relieved to be heard.
2 Primary Focuses for our Grief Education
- First we want those who grieve to learn how to grieve well, since few have had a positive role model. We offer practical healthy grief options; teaching those who mourn the most current and reliable information about grief, healthy grief options, and physical and spiritual realities for the varied seasons of grief. Grieving well means being intentional about interacting with one's suffering in ways that bring relief to your broken heart. The goal is to learn how to use tangible tools for moving towards a healthy emotional adjustment to the loss.
- Second, yet equal in importance is our interest in training people to become skillful comforters for the grieving. It is possible to learn new skill sets to confidently support others going through their grief. We can learn what is best to say or not say when we are with a grieving friend or stranger. Whether in the workplace or in a spiritual community, all benefit by becoming skillful at supporting and comforting those who grieve.
So glad you've come this far in learning how Comfort for the Day can help you. Keep going to discover more.

BY RHEA MANILA SANTOS Twitter: @allaboutmanila FRESH SCOOPS 12/21/2012 11:22 AM Save Busy with different charity events as the World Food Program National Ambassador, KC Concepcion admitted she has been busy traveling with the non-government organization to various areas that need help. "Galing lang ako ng Nepal for the World Food Program. Last December 12 naman pumunta ako Davao dahil dun sa nangyari habang fresh pa yung nangyari. Sumulong na kami ng World Food Program as always together with the government dun sa Davao," she shared.KC revealed she already gave herself an advanced Christmas gift for this year. "Siguro yung Brazil trip. Yung ma-experience ko na yung manuod ng Madonna concert sa ibang bansa ulit. Talagang for me Queen of Pop talaga si Madonna eh, no matter kung sino pa yung mag-emerge na magaling na artista. Madonna is still the Queen of Pop and I was so happy to see it in Brazil," she shared.KC also said that 2012 was a good year for her career and she looks forward to getting the chance to perform more in 2013. "Naku siyempre yung X-Factor was really a big highlight of my life, of my career and my year. Siyempre naumpisahan ko na yung pag-host ko sa mga ganung klaseng show like X-Factor. I hope and pray na meron ulit akong show na ganun para tutuloy yung hosting ko at the same time gusto ko pa mag-perform maybe on ASAP basta singing and dancing, performing talaga," she added.For her holiday plans, KC admitted that her rumored French suitor has plans to celebrate Christmas in the Philippines with her. "Siguro tingnan na lang natin kung ano ang gagawin niya but for now hinihintay ko lang kung meron siyang maging moves kasi parang nagpaparinig yata siya na parang gusto niyang pumunta ng Pilipinas to experience yung Paskong Pilipino. That would be nice. That would nice para maipagmalaki naman natin kung mag-party ang mga pinoy lalo na during Christmas, yung kapaskuhan," she said.KC said she feels flattered he would choose to spend the holiday with her. "Oo first time niyang makakaita ng parol, first time niyang makakatikim ng Noche Buena, first time niyang makakaita ng gulo ng Pilipino kapag masaya. Ganun po," she said.The 27-year-old host-actress said she is not in any hurry to get into a relationship right now with anyone. "Ayoko pang pangalanan kasi baka mamaya hindi pala yun yung gusto ni God pero sana kasi sobrang okay yung pagkatao nung lalakeng yun so sana ganun yung makatuluyan ko," she said. KC also shared the best lesson she has learned about love this year. "Talagang the right man will really pursue and pursue against all odds," she said.When asked if her suitor has seen her sexy new pictures for a liquor brand, KC said she is not worried about what he will think. "Hindi ko naman pinapakita pero siguro kung pumunta siya dito makikita rin niya yung mga yun," she said. Although she showed a sexier side in the calendar, KC said this does not mean she will have a bolder image in 2013. "Hindi ko maintindihan kasi yung question na kung tuloy-tuloy kasi para sa akin lahat ng babae, pati nga ang mga bekis eh sexy talaga. So parang kung ipagpapatuloy, siguro habang babae ka, habang beki ka, you know you're sexy naturally naman talaga," she said.KC also added that this does not translate into doing sexier scenes onscreen as well. "Siguro hindi rin yung parang todo todo. Hindi naman ganun yung gusto ko. parang hanggang dun lang siguro ako. Hindi naman ako yung over pa dun. siguro yun yung pinaka-limit ko talaga and hindi rin naman ako sanay na gumawa ng ganun di ba. Dapat maganda lang naman yung kalabasan niya," she said.For more Kapamilya updates, log on daily to Push.com.ph and follown @Push_Mina on Twitter. Tags: Celebrity 0 SHOW COMMENTS

July was a great month. I was busy with work and busy with traveling. After long time I travelled for a work abroad to a new client. As you might know I dont do overnights anymore. So I stay with a client whole day till 22 oclock and then I go sleep to my own hotel room. I like to sleep alone, is it more relaxing. But I understand that many of you wanna real girlfriend experience, so they dont agree. But one man from Stockholm did so I visited him for 24 h and had my own room 🙂 We did a lot of sightseeing as it was my first time in this beautiful city. As I love nature I was surprised in the city is a lot of green and lake, such a fresh air and relaxing enviroment, in such a city I could live 🙂 Just it was cold, but this you expect. Nice trip 🙂
When I came back home the day after I went to visit a girfriend to her cottage – house. It was sunny and warm and her son was there too, so we went to swim to a small lake near and in the evening we barbecued sausages on the fire. She has very nice house with a big garden, I had my own room there and I slept like a baby, it remind me a bit our summer cottage 🙂
When I speak about our summer cottage I went there for a weekend with my father. This time was there also my brother with his girlfriend. In the afternoon, while they were working in the garden, I went to a city swimming pool near. The water is always so cold! But few people and great big pool so I always enjoy there 🙂 In the evening we did barbecue on the fire beying happy we are all 4 together 🙂
I also had 12 hours work daytime with a client I know him for 3 years. As he knows Prague I planned a trip to a city Carlsbad, 1,5 h by car from Prague. And it was the first time I drove a client in my car 🙂 That day was there a world famous film festival. He has never been there and liked it a lot. Carlsbad is for me nicer then Prague. Smaller, with a beautil nature and amazing architecture. And the film atmosphere with a lot of people and markets was unforgettable! We didnt see any movie, but had a long walk and lunch enjoying the beautiness around 🙂
I also went to a leech treatment after long time! This time I had to travel to this woman to another city and because it was a bit far and I didnt wanna travel bleeding back I booked a hotel near so I toke it as a vacation 🙂
From curiosity I went to a health studio for a test of food intolerance. I have no alergy, but wanted to know if there is something I should not eat. I went possitive to wheat, cow milk and crab.
And the last thing I went to visit a friend – client (the one who has vinothek in Germany) for 3 days. We did some sightseeing as always and even the weather was not good I enjoyed the relax time there 🙂
So! Thats all :-)) I am sorry I wrote this blog later then usual, but as you can see I was busy 🙂 Next blog will be also very interesting, you can be looking forward 🙂
I love summer because there is always so much going on! You can travel, swim, have a beer in a beergarden, days are longer, so much positive energy.
I hope you are also having a good time and if you wanna spicy up your life you can have a good (and passion) time with me 🙂
Yours Lucky

Menchie's vs. Yumz: Frozen Yogurt Battle
September 29, 2016
Alex: Team Yumz
Ever since it has been one of the first frozen yogurt places in town, Yumz Frozen Yogurt has had its share of competition, to say the least. The fro-yo bar was the first of its kind, with customers choosing their own self-serve flavors, completing their desserts with an array of toppings.
Places such as Yogen Fruz, Yogurtland, Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, and classics like Dairy Queen and Dairy Mart have always been fan favorites.
Emma and I decided to find out once and for all which place had the "cherry on top." After eating cake batter fro-yo with cookie dough and strawberry boba from both Yumz and Menchie's, I decided that Yumz reigned supreme.
Yumz offers 10 yogurt flavors, which include the basics: chocolate, vanilla, cake batter, and peanut butter. Seasonally, they offer several tarts and sorbets, including georgia peach, raspberry pomegranate, and lemon.
Their local competitor, Menchie's Frozen Yogurt, offers 14 flavors, including caramel frappe and vanilla latte for the fall season.
Personally, I think Menchie's flavors are a bit over the top and they should leave the caramel frappes and vanilla lattes to Starbucks.
Frozen yogurt toppings can make or break the tasty treat. Menchies offered 32 toppings, including the typical candies and cookies. However, their topping selections lacked fresh fruit, with only four choices of strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and pineapple. Yumz offered 35 toppings, with a greater variety of cookie choices. They also offered an astonishing eight options of fresh fruit.
Where Yumz has fewer yogurt choices, it makes up with toppings, which I think are way more important.
Lastly, let's talk price. Most fro-yo places charge their customers by the ounce. Before I reveal the prices, remember we are talking about broke teenagers here.
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt charges its customers $0.54/ounce. Coming in at a full $0.08 cheaper is Yumz at $0.46/ounce. This means that no matter how much fro-yo customers purchase, it will always be cheaper at Yumz. I do not know about you, but price is a major factor when I decide where to eat.
Both places had fun, colorful environments with upbeat music playing. Although, Yumz did offer comfy couches to lounge on while Menchie's only had the standard table and chairs.
So next time you are deciding on where to go to get a sweet treat, I highly recommend Yumz Frozen Yogurt. Its topping choices, fresh fruit, and cheaper price are worth it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Emma: Team Menchie's
Alex and I took a quick trip to find the best frozen yogurt in the Area. We went Yumz, which is located off of Randall Rd. and Menchie's which is located in the Algonquin Commons. At both places I got chocolate and vanilla yogurt with strawberries.
Personally, Menchie's stood out, although they did not have as many toppings as Yumz and was more expensive, (54 cents per ounce, opposed to Yumz at 46 cents). To me, the fruit tasted more fresh, and the flavor choices were incredibly unique. At Menchie's you have choices like seasonal choices and choices like caramel latte, ice cream sandwich and pineapple sorbet, along with the classics, unlike at Yumz where the flavors are limited.
Also, although the prices at Menchie's were more expensive, the cups are much bigger, the Yumz cup was almost half the size. To me, the yogurt taste didn't differ that much between restaurants, but the fresh toppings at Menchie's were the "cherries on top."
Menchies only had fresh fruit including but not limited to strawberries, kiwi, and banana slices. Unlike at Yumz where I could only focus on the obviously canned pineapple. Both restaurants service was mediocre, and the customer count was about the same.
Overall, they are very similar, I could find the same name brand candy toppings like Oreos, Heath, Kit Kat, ect. I also thought it was interesting that at Yumz the toppings relating to nuts were easily contaminating the other toppings. Unlike at Menchie's, where the candy and nut topping options where all contained with lids. So, if your child or family member has a nut allergy, I would be careful at Yumz, since the toppings are so easy to contaminate.
At both places and I had no problem finding what I wanted, but to me Menchie's just has a little more to it. The atmosphere at Menchie's is more kid friendly, with kids drawings on the walls, bright colors filling every corner, and little characters as mascots, while Yumz decor is obviously more modern and casual, as a perfect example, Yumz has a couch for customer to enjoy their yogurt, while Menchie's is sticking to the traditional tables and chairs.
All in all, they both mostly serve the same food, but not in the same way. I recommend Menchies to anymore looking for fresh ingredients, and a kids friendly environment.

As more and more course materials and textbooks transition into the digital world, students hope to find some financial relief from having to purchase expensive physical copies. On average, undergraduate students spend about $1,200 a year on textbooks and course materials.
This affordability crisis is worsening as textbook prices increase annually, and students have few alternatives to avoid these costs. Most recently, a new culprit has emerged in the exploitive textbook market: the digital access code.
Many UCLA courses require that students purchase digital access codes to view and submit course assignments, as per a California Public Interest Research Group survey done last year. A good number of students quite literally have to "buy their grades" – or at least, the materials that will help promote strong performance.
What is more outrageous is that students often cannot purchase digital access codes individually. Only 28 percent of all digital access codes are sold individually, according to a report by Student Public Interest Research Groups, a set of groups that advocate for causes such as affordable textbooks. This means that many students are forced to buy full textbook bundles, which typically include the physical copy of the textbook and other supplemental materials.
In short, what publishers advertise as a cheaper alternative to physical textbooks is a ploy to profit at the expense of accessible education.
The average cost of an access code purchased at most campus bookstores, according to Student PIRG's report, is about $100. This means the extra costs could be substantial if a student is taking multiple classes that require several access codes per quarter.
With just textbooks, students had alternatives if they could not afford the required texts for their classes – they could rent or borrow books, for instance. With mandatory digital access codes, however, students lose this freedom and are forced to use their money to pass their classes.
The extra costs incurred by digital access codes are unnecessary, especially if the codes are merely used for homework and quiz submissions – something UCLA can already facilitate through CCLE. The additional costs can also force students to downgrade meal plans or take out more loans if they are in difficult financial situations.
For the more than seven million students who rely on the Federal Pell Grant, including 39 percent of Bruins, there is already enough financial burden on the plate with the high cost of textbooks. These students do not need additional "required" costs on top of textbooks.
The Undergraduate Students Association Council's Financial Supports Commission at UCLA will be partnering with CALPIRG to advocate for textbook affordability and alternatives to digital access codes.
We, as students who are forced to pay into corporate greed, should stand in solidarity with these groups against the requirement of purchasing digital access codes. Students have the opportunity to participate next week, when FSC and CALPIRG members will be reaching out to professors individually to pose alternatives to mandating purchase of access codes.
Many students already find it difficult to afford a UCLA education. Bruins who are forced to purchase digital access codes should reach out to their professors individually about these issues and articulate the injustice of this practice.
We have the right to demand the removal of the financial barriers that digital access codes impose on students.
Please join us by lobbying your own professors or joining us on our professor canvases to get sign-ons to voice our opposition to access codes. The FSC and CALPIRG will be on Bruin Walk on Wednesday explaining how to go about meeting with professors to talk about alternatives to access codes. We hope you will help us in making UCLA more affordable for everyone.

We've recently launched our exciting new website, WhatsTheListPrice.com, a specialised search engine for finding all the vendor prices of hardware such as servers, switches, SFPs and routers. Whilst you can already do this using various methods, WhatsTheListPrice.com brings all the vendor's retail prices together. Whether you're looking for a part from industry leaders such as Cisco, Fortinet or Juniper, you'll find all of the prices here. There's numerous benefits to using whatsthelistprice.com:
All the vendors, all the prices, one roof
With IT becoming consistently more important and prevalent day upon day, you're undoubtedly a busy IT professional if you're looking for parts. Whilst you can easily find prices on the websites of the vendors, this takes time. If you have many parts that you need across an extended range of vendors, this can take up a lot of time. With WhatsTheListPrice.com, you can not only find all major vendor products that you need in one place but you also have the prices without having the hassle and waste of time searching. This makes it an excellent resource for IT professionals who quickly need GPL prices for whatever reason.
If you're an IT reseller who's required to demonstrate the retail price against the discounted price to your customers, this is the perfect tool for collecting the prices swiftly. You can also use the website to quickly find the actual market price to compare it against what other suppliers are offering you. With our up-to- date prices, this will help you find out whether you're going to be getting a good deal.
Prices constantly updated for accuracy
As an IT professional, you'll be aware of the regularity of changing vendor list prices. Prices last time you searched may be different when you're ready to submit your prices to your customer. Since you're inevitably busy, we've done all the hard work for you, enabling a quick search on WhatsTheListPrice.com to provide an easy and quick point of reference.
WhatsTheListPrice.com is continually updated by our team so that our website always displays the current list price. This means that when you need to double check the prices, you can once again just come straight to our website to find out the up-up-to-date prices.
Discontinued parts don't disappear
When parts become end-of-life ad discontinued by the manufacturers, vendors will often make those prices unavailable. This can be frustrating when you know that the part is still available, just not still produced.
With WhatsTheListPrice.com, we keep the parts and prices listed so that you can still easily find them. Despite the part being end-of-life, this means that you can still find all the details required as the part will still be available until it is sold out.
Get a discount from us
Whilst our new website gives you all the GPL of the vendors, nobody wants to pay the list price. As it's our website, we've also included a fantastic feature that can get you a substantial discount on the list price for exactly the same product!
Using the 'Price Enquiry' button, you can come through to the Square 1 Products website which will then give you the option to request a quote. This means that you can get a quote from us using the WhatsTheListPrice.com website, giving you a huge saving.
We're looking forward to hearing from you soon and hope that you find the new website useful. Need any assistance placing a quote? Please contact us on +44 (0)1925 530 111 to speak to one of our friendly staff.

i just got a reply from the guy he said they are as he bought them and he didnt replace the insignia i dont think theyre right now when youve got a decent helmet crap insignia spoils it so if i sell these i will advise as regards the insignia.
i just got a reply from the guy he said they are as he bought them and he didnt replace the insignia i dont think theyre right now when youve got a decent helmet crap insignia spoils it so if i sell these i will advise as regards the insignia.
Both the tropenhelms look a bit odd to me and I would like to see better and more detailed pics if possible, including makers marks or size & date stamps. That eagle on the 2nd tropenhelm does look strange.
the only thing looks odd is the insignia i think
personally i havnt got a problem with the helmet it looks like this one WWII German Tropical Pith Helmet - Afrika Korps (item #884817) the insignia i do agree with the comments though
national shield on first tropenhelm looks to have been on helm for a while and consistant with other age??
There is nothing wrong with the pith helmets originality I think the shields are ok. There were many makers of the shields. The left side of the helmet is in rough shape which would make me pass on it.
I really like the ulans cap. Do not change any insignia on it period. I would love to have it just the way it is.
thanks Steve for that after rooting i found a insignia from a auction room that has got roundish bottom and also a variation in insignia, i agree with that now has there is a variation on some of the luftwaffe cap insignia i own.
Also the Uhlan cavalry czapka i woulnt touch a thing either this one is for sale as is another the guy did have a napleonic shako too i just missed.
Im still not fully convinced about the second pith, apart from the decals, their positioning is strange, the seams of the helmet are not central therefore the decal on the right is placed too far back, the pith liner is suspect to me , it has no holes in the edge for comfort fitting to the head and the outside leather rim appears to be new leather with no wear at all, the sweatband looks very new with no wear and i can see no maker marks unless they are behind the sweatband, do you have any more detailed photos
I think both tropenhelms are the same type of copy, with fake ageing (the rust spots etc...) and fake insignia. The poor quality of the construction and incorrect liner attachment are fairly obvious faults not seen on originals. Agree with all that Davejb said.

The cellist Laura van der Heijden has won BBC Music Magazine's Newcomer of the Year award for her critically acclaimed debut album '1948' (Champs Hill Records, 2018) which focuses on music for cello and piano from the Soviet era.
The former Young Musician of the Year Winner (2012) and pianist Petr Limonov were presented with the award last night at a ceremony at King's Place, London.
Van der Heijden and Limonov's recording also won a prestigious Edison Klassiek Award last year. Awarded annually for outstanding achievements in the music industry, the Edison Award is one of the music world's oldest prizes.
Speaking about this latest accolade, Laura van der Heijden comments: "I am delighted that 1948 has been awarded BBC Music Magazine's Newcomer of the Year. Making this CD has been an incredibly rewarding project, musically, emotionally, and intellectually. My appreciation of the immense value of great art, music, and literature in Russian-speaking countries sparked the initial idea for 1948. The further we delved into the lives of the composers included on the CD, the more important their relationships to the political climate of the time became to me. These powerful works provide us with the opportunity to try to understand their ways of coping in such a difficult time."
Petr Limonov adds: "It is a great honour for me to be a part of this project which focuses on the different ways composers of the time responded to both the meaningless violence of the Second World War and restrictions imposed on freedom of artistic expression. These problems are truly timeless and universal, and I believe directing public's attention towards them is a duty of every artist of today."
Champs Hill Records' Alexander Van Ingen says: "It was intensely rewarding to record with Laura and Petr for this album; they are both exceptional musicians with strong command of their instruments and a deep understanding of this music. Theirs is a first-rate musicianship and partnership, and I am delighted that this album has won recognition from both BBC Music Magazine Awards and the Edison Awards: much deserved. As a label, Champs Hill Records aims to support the very best young, emerging talent, and Laura & Petr are just that - exceptional young artists with something to say. It is a privilege for us to record with them and we wish them every success."

iv. "Just resting!"20 November 2005 at 07:41 | Posted in Circadian rhythm | Leave a comment
Tags: Child
My wise grandmother lived with us (or vice versa) on a farm. All the animals slept, not just the people. Some seemed to sleep just barely – they'd look at you with one eye. Grandma and I studied them all. They (we) all needed rest to grow and be healthy, she said. I'm sure she decided to use the word "rest" and not sleep, as we all knew that I spent hours in bed not sleeping. We developed the agreement "Just resting". When Mom would look in on me at 1 or 2 a.m., I'd chirrup "I'm just resting, Mama!". She'd look so ridiculously sleepy.
I'd try to grow and be healthy. I was tall for my age, which proved that it worked!

Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer 2.0 to release on Tamil New Year?
Akshay Kumar who is currently prepping up for the Republic Day release of his upcoming film PadMan, is now thinking about the release of his film with Rajinikanth called 2.0.
It is being said that the makers are eyeing Tamil New Year for the release of the film as they want to bank on the holiday season that starts from mid-April. A source from the South Film industry said, "The makers seem to have understood the potential of releasing the film in April as the family audience will be looking out opportunities to watch good movies in theatres. So, it will be a good decision to release 2.0 in April. Let's not forget the film is rich in VFXs and kids will love to watch such film. Baahubali makers clearly understood this and released the second part in April."

Something new we decided to try this year was an outdoor scavenger hunt. Our little ones loved it! They raced to see who could find all the items first and win a prize, although in the end, we had to allow a grasshopper-for-snail substitution.
Snails seem super plentiful at home, but would you believe there wasn't a single snail shell to be found in all 2000 acres of the beautiful ALERT Academy campus where we were camping? Leastwise, there were none we could locate in the few wooded acres we searched.
If you'd like to print copies of our Scavenger Hunt cards to use on your family's next camping adventure, click on the image above to download a free PDF version that you can store and print from your own computer.
Happy hunting!

Advisers should jump on SMSF opportunity: Vanguard
While the majority of attendees to Vanguard's Adviser Forum today are recommending self-managed superannuation to clients, this is not necessarily translating into work for advisers, according to a live survey.
"With SMSFs, a lot of advisers have dipped their toe in the water, but there's still a huge opportunity being missed," Vanguard Adviser Services head of intermediary distribution Michael Lovett told ifa.
"It's a market that is self-directed so a lot of advisers can still get into that space," he added. "The sector is not for everyone, but advisers should think about it as an opportunity."
Drawing on recently released Vanguard-Rice Warner data, Mr Lovett said only 50 per cent of SMSF trustees have enlisted the services of a professional financial adviser, indicating a "huge opportunity to convert the other half of the market."
According to the data, there was $133 billion total cash in SMSFs as of mid-2012, with $50 to $70 billion in excess cash, ie. "cash that they normally wouldn't be holding but are holding for return reasons with term deposits being quite high."
Mr Lovett said that the eventual movement of this excess cash into investment offers a significant opportunity to advisers.
While trustees value control over investment decision-making, "research suggests they will pay for advice where they feel they are getting value," he said.
Other findings of the live survey include that 50 per cent of advisers in attendance say they are "hopeful" about investment markets, while 35 per cent are "optimistic," with only 15 per cent indicating they are "fearful" or "unsure."
In addition, 82 per cent of attendees said they would be recommending a "diversified portfolio" in 2013, with 9.28 per cent issuing a preference for Australian equities, and only 0.42 per cent choosing term deposits.
These findings reflected Vanguard's mantra of "diversification and sticking to strategic asset allocation through thick and thin," Mr Lovett said.

For the manufacturer of the #1 Most Used Desktop Printer 2018, there's a new printer around – the Formlabs Form 3.
The Form 3 is a Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) printer. This new technology balances speed and detail to give intricate prints quickly. Adaptive layer height allows for you to print the non-detailed parts of your model more quickly (at a lower resolution), whilst retaining the high resolution required for the intricate areas.
LFS gently flexes the tank to release the newly cured layer. This technique allows for much less force on the printed layer and no lateral peel force is necessary. Because of this, the supports are very light touch – a simple twist should remove them completely from the model.
The Form 3 brings in the ability to set off a print remotely. Orientate and support the model as required in PreForm, Formlabs' printing software, and send it to the printer from wherever you are. Design and prepare your model at home in an evening and come into the office to have it printed in the morning.
For those of you already familiar with the Form 2, you'll be pleased to know that your cartridges, build plates, finishing kits, Form Wash and Form Cure are all compatible with the Form 3. The only things that are not cross compatible are the tanks due to the different peel mechanisms.
There are ten Formlabs resins that can be used with the Form 3 immediately, these are: Grey, Black, White, Clear, Draft, Tough, High Temp V2, Durable, Castable Wax and Dental Model. Others are in compatibility testing and certification and should be released shortly. You can also use third-party resins with the Form 3 by using Open Mode.
Find out more about Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) ™
If you have any questions about the Form 3, or you would like to discuss anything further, please get in contact with our team on 01765 694007, or email email@example.com
Here's some downloads we think you might be interested in that relate to this product:
Here are some of the common questions we get for Form 3 Extended Complete Package, if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01765 540 115.
Can I use Form 2 consumables with the Form 3?
Cartridges, build platforms, finishing kits, Form Wash and Form Cure are compatible between the Form 2 and Form 3.
Tanks are not compatible between the Form 2 and Form 3.
Can I use the Form 3 for biocompatible printing?
Biocompatibility is certified for an entire workflow. This is in process for the Form 3 but has not yet been finalised, so at the moment the Form 3 is not recommended if biocompatibility is required.
How is the Form 3 different to the Form 2?
They use different technologies. The Form 2 is a stereolithography (SLA) printer, the Form 3 is a Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) printer. For a deeper comparison please see our downloads section.

The weaving on this fun scarf was finished quite awhile ago, but I needed to weave in ends and cut the fringe to the desired length. Why does the finishing take so much longer than the actual weaving? But no matter, without further ado, here is my fun, soft and colorful scarf.
I bought this yarn on a whim at JoAnn Fabrics because it was something new at the time and so so soft.
I bought two balls of variegated, two balls of the green and two balls of orange.
A couple of the kids were having fun with poses with this scarf.
More color! You can't have enough color!

A sealant is a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Teeth with these conditions are hard to clean and are very susceptible to decay. A sealant protects the tooth by sealing deep grooves, creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.
Sealants can protect teeth from decay for many years, but need to be checked for wear and chipping at regular dental visits.
Reasons for sealants:
What do sealants involve?
Sealants are easily applied by your dentist or dental hygienist and the process takes only a couple of minutes per tooth.
The teeth to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned and then surrounded with cotton to keep the area dry. A special solution is applied to the enamel surface to help the sealant bond to the teeth. The teeth are then rinsed and dried. Sealant material is carefully painted onto the enamel surface to cover the deep grooves or depressions. Depending on the type of sealant used, the material will either harden automatically or with a special curing light.
Proper home care, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new sealants.
An appointment with this doctor is always a pleasant experience. Let's face it; none of us enjoy a visit to the dentist office! Yet; Dr Dougherty and his staff are like visiting family. Kind, friendly, personable and true leaders in the top of their field. I have been a patient here since 1994. I have traveled many miles each year and trust my dental needs to only these professionals, the finest in the field!!!

Loved my cleaning!! Everyone is so friendly and I appreciate the personalized care!

Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Several days prior to this Tuesday before Christmas, a new colleague and friend of mine, Aaron Hipp, mentioned that he was interested in a return trip to see the owls. Several weeks prior, Aaron and another new colleague and friend, Stephanie Zayas, had joined me for an owl prowl. While Charles and Sarah did not duet a great deal that night, we had a good time following them to The Second Catalpa, The Right Hand Tree and eventually Charles to The Bare Tree on Wildlife Island. After the prowl, we enjoyed a beer and a bite at The Boathouse before we headed home.
As Aaron's work strongly involves public parks and I spend hundreds of hours in Forest Park, it was natural that we became friends and associates. Kudos go to our mutual friend and colleague, Chad Henry, for suggesting to Aaron that he speak with your friendly neighborhood owl man and park patron. Chad is a big booster of the owls, the park and my work with them.
As Tuesday, December 22 drew closer, Aaron mentioned that his charming wife Pam and Pam's mother Maria, who was visiting for the holidays, might join us. Of course, I welcome all interested parties but I reiterated to Aaron the need for proper apparel now that we would be visiting the owls one day after the first day of winter. I need not have worried. When Aaron and I arrived at the park and we met Pam and Maria, a four-time marathoner in 2009 alone, they were suitably decked out for cold-weather owl prowling.
In the course of many owl prowls, formal or informal, that I have led, I have always made a point to address the apparel one should wear especially in cold weather. Unfortunately, my advice has not always been heeded to the fullest:). An owl prowl is comprised of two extremes: fast, quiet motion or quiet combined with a complete absence of motion. In cold weather, this means that you must dress in quiet, abundantly warm clothes. Over the course of this evening's hour-long prowl, I did not hear a single whine, fidget or complaint from Aaron, Pam or Maria about the cold weather. Bravo!
I gave Pam and Maria a quick tour and history of the owls and their nesting spots and offspring. We began to hear Charles hoot so we headed for The Quintet Conifers. Both Charles and Sarah were in his favorite conifer. I directed them to close but discreet viewing positions and it was great to see their draws drop at the sight of these two gorgeous owls.
First Charles and then Sarah flew south to a large dead deciduous tree not far from The Bushy Tree and The Second Catalpa. They had used this tree a fair amount in recent weeks and did so this evening. They continued a duet that had begun in The Quintet Conifers. The duet increased, decreased and then increased again in pace, intensity and intimacy.
At several points I thought that mating would happen at any moment. Having recently seen the footage of Charles and Sarah mate on December 19, I could tell that my fellow owl prowlers were keen to see them mate in person.
Sarah flew to a nearby tree and the duet continued. From our perspective, I thought that her new position made her physically inaccessible to Charles for mating. Perhaps it was Sarah's position or it was not in the cards or our discreet but four person presence was too much but mating did not occur on our watch. Charles went bombing off east and the disappointment in not seeing them mate was palpable.
We still had Sarah in our sights and then she joined Charles by flying in an easterly direction. It looked like she was heading towards The Eastern Tree but may have paused on her way. Indeed she had paused as keen-eyed Aaron found her in a deciduous tree near The North-South Path. She stayed there briefly before she went flying off to The Eastern Tree. We hustled over and just as we reacquired her in The Eastern Tree she made a gorgeous flight past The Four Trees and over McKinley Drive.
As we reacquired her on the east side of McKinley Drive we saw a muskrat swimming in the waterway below us. Pam, in particular, was pleasantly surprised to see this aquatic rodent. This was a very gutsy muskrat as he seemed completely unfazed by us. Sarah flew off northeast and again we gave chase. We found her by Deer Lake but she continued on northeast. We finally reacquired her in the sloping tree immediately west of the Franz Siegel statue. Moments after we found Sarah she blasted off east, about as far east as I have ever seen her or Charles go.
We decided that we had pursued her enough and we headed back to where we had parked. I was preparing to walk home when someone suggested dinner at The Boathouse. We all agreed but found that they are only open for dinner Thursday-Sunday during the fall and winter. Rats. Plan Bs were discussed and we quickly agreed on the new Central West End location of the excellent pizza purveyors, Pi. Knowing that my life might be forfeit if I went to the new Pi for dinner without my girlfriend, Wendy, I asked the others if she could attend. They graciously and heartily welcomed her. I called Wendy and before the word "Pi" had finished escaping my mouth, she said yes. We drove the short distance to Pi, Wendy joined us a few minutes later and we had a great meal with engaging and wide-ranging conversation. Maria saved the best surprise for last when she generously and kindly treated us all to this excellent repast. Thanks, Maria!!

By Frank HolmesStrengthsThe best performing precious metal for the week was palladium, up 4.22 percent on improving expectations for the automotive industry where palladium is principally used to clean gasoline emissions.According to ZeroHedge, a new trend is gaining popularity in China digital gold gifting. Tencents digital gold packets, known as microgold, are backed by the countrys biggest bank and allow users to send funds that track the real-time value of gold over the WeChat platform. An ICBC document shows that during the Lunar New Year, WeChat users sent 70,000 microgold packets across the platform worth $14.5 million.Gold ETFs recorded inflows over the past two days totaling nearly 9 tons, reports Commerzbank, reversing more than half of outflows previously seen this month. Noting a drop in net long positions to their lowest level since the beginning of the year during the run-up to the Fed meeting, one analyst wrote that this means there is ample upside potential for gold. As seen in the chart below, we are seeing the longest losing run for the dollar since November, reports Bloomberg, as gold advanced to its highest level in three weeks on haven demand amid a global selloff in stocks.WeaknessesThe worst performing precious metal for the week was platinum, down 0.03 percent. Investors are not as excited about platinum versus palladium, as the former is more important in cleaning up emissions from diesel engines. In fact, diesel engines have been cited for their high level of particulate output and may face greater regulation in the future.The Democratic Republic of the Congo warns that proposals by the Trump administration to suspend Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act will undermine both stability and security, reports Bloomberg. A roll-back in this law would encourage an escalation in the activities of non-state armed groups, said Mines Minister Martin Kabwelulu in a letter to the SEC dated March 13. A London-based advocacy group called Global Witness even said that suspending the law would be a gift to warlords and corrupt businesses.Robert Burgess writes for the Bloomberg Daily Prophet this week, warning investors that it may be time to prepare for the Trump correction and forget about the Trump trade. Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller recently said that the last time he remembers equity investors being as bullish as they are now was in 2000 and that didnt end well. If the markets really thought Trumps policies would juice up the economy then the dollar would be the prime beneficiary, the article continues, but instead the greenback is on an epic slump.OpportunitiesBy most objective measures, we are deep into the longest period ever of excessively easy monetary policy, said Stanley Druckenmiller. Bloomberg reports that Druckenmiller sees the U.S. in the biggest and longest dovish deviation from historical norms during his entire career. His solution? Some regard it as a metal, we regard it as a currency and it remains our largest currency allocation.A rebound in exploration by global miners could see spending hit $18 billion by 2025, writes David Stringer of Bloomberg. Exploration budgets are on the rise after hitting an 11-year low of around $10 billion last year when companies cut costs in the wake of a collapse in prices, according to Richard Schodde of MinEx Consulting. Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, also notes the cut seen in gold production from mines run by majors, saying there are no new big mines being built in the world today. A boost in appetite for exploration could lead investors to focus more on the exploration and development companies as we go forward, as those companies will be the ones making new discoveries.Golden Star Resources has announced its exploration strategy for 2017 in a note this week to investors. Sam Coetzer, President and CEO, had the following to say: During 2016 our focus was on delivering our two underground development projects, but I am pleased that we are now in a position to turn part of our focus back to exploration. I believe strongly that our assets present an exploration upside opportunity, with both Wassa Underground and Prestea Underground having the potential to expand production on an annual basis and extend their mine lives beyond the current seven and five years, respectively.ThreatsDetour Gold released its updated life of mine plan this week, with the main impact being lower production, a higher strip ratio and higher costs over the next five years. The company also recapped its fourth quarter 2016 financial results, noting that its adjusted loss of 3 cents was well below consensus of a 4-cent gain. Investors that are in love with Detour, or worse, married to the company, could be feeling an Allied Nevada-like moment if the gold price doesnt improve.In its annual report, Copperbelt Energy Corp says that Zambias High Court is expected to rule on a three-year dispute over tariff increases to the copper mining industry. If the court rules in favor of the increases by the energy regulator, Copperbelt will owe state-owned Zesco $276 million, reports Bloomberg, with the cost being passed on to Glencore and First Quantum.On Tuesday, equities dropped across the globe as investors start to question President Trumps ability to enact his pro-growth policies, reports Bloomberg, casting doubt on the so-called reflation trade.http://usfunds.com/

Aaliya's family is trying to halt Lifetime from making an Aaliyah biopic, saying that the outfit is too small to capture the scope of her life. They want a big studio to produce the film. The family is consulting with a lawyer to forfeit Lifetime from using any of Aaliyah's music, photos and videos. Aaliyah's cousin, Jomo Hankerson:
The problem that we have is that Aaliyah was an icon and she deserves an iconic tribute, not a Lifetime movie. They didn't reach out. I don't know why they didn't reach out. We want a major studio release along the lines of What's Love Got to Do with It, the Tina Turner movie. This needs A-list actors, A-list talent that can breathe life into what we think is a phenomenal story.

The Sky Blues have never failed to score against the Posh at home, and have won twice as many games as the visitors in the head to head records…Coventry City face Peterborough United in SkyBet League One tomorrow, and fixtures between these two sides have always produced goals.
City have won eight out of the 15 meetings between the sides, with the Posh winning four. There have been three draws overall, the last of which occurring two years ago: a 2-2 draw in the Championship.
There has never been a 0-0 draw in this fixture and the Sky Blues possess a fantastic home record against the Posh, with the last defeat coming all the way back in 1962. The scoreline on that occasion was 3-1 to Peterborough, the fixture being held in the old Third Division.
The last seven home games for City against the Posh have seen them score two goals on three occasions, three goals on three occasions and four goals once!
That impressive statistic continued last season when on boxing day the Sky Blues recorded an impressive 4-2 win against a side who were aiming for automatic promotion.
With the Posh only winning one of their last four away games, tomorrow promises to be an intriguing affair. With City and Peterborough scoring in nine of their last ten games combined, there is every opportunity of a goal fest at the Ricoh Arena tomorrow.

Redric Y.
University Y Student Center
When Redric was a teenager, he wandered in to the Y on a Friday night with his friends because they were bored. He's been coming to the Y ever since.
Although Redric was attending Late Nite and morning hoops regularly, he was not great at basketball. After having his name repeatedly skipped to play, he decided he needed to pick up his game, and did that by coming to the Y even more.
"I was always at Tacoma Center at 4:45am for two years working on my game," said Redric. "They never skipped my name after that." Beyond getting better at basketball, the Y has had a significant impact on Redric's life.
"The Y has opened me up as a person," said Redric. "I went from the quiet shy kid to the confident person I am today. The Y has also helped me grow as an athlete because all the other people who come from different athletic backgrounds play at the Y."

Want to lose your faith in humanity? Go and read today's Dear Prudence column over at Slate.com.
It's more of the same old story: evil, mean, bad MAN impregnates innocent, kind, loving WOMAN and she intends to keep the baby. Well, okay. That's her right, and there is no getting around it. Women DO and MUST have complete sovereignty over their own bodies.
It's actually a "friend" writing in to Prudie. The man in question sounds just lovely, too. He called MissInnocent "dirty" and he was "jealous" and he called her a "slut" and oh my! MissInnocent is clearly A) a genius for wanting to perpetuate THOSE genes, and B) obviously telling the complete and absolute truth because no woman ever lied to her friend when she wanted to keep a baby but ditch the Daddy in the trash heap.
So what is the dilemma? Well, MissInnocent isn't sure whether she should just keep the pregnancy a secret and deny her child a father OR go ahead and rape Daddy for 18 years of child support. What to do, what to do? Prudie's advice: keep the baby a secret. Prudie advises MissInnocent to tell her child "Mommy and Daddy didn't know each other very well and she doesn't know where Daddy is". She ends by delightfully hoping "the father scuttles back into a hole and never gets wind of the amazing news".
Scuttles. Back. Into. A. Hole.
Oh fuck you so hard, Prudie.
Let's start with Prudie's unquestioning acceptance of the fact that the man in question is "bizarre, disturbed creep". Imagine assuming that of COURSE he's a drug-dealing, illiterate thug because he's BLACK. It's not much different to assume a complete character assassination is true, because hey, he's a MAN. Even if the man in question IS a disturbed creep, can we at least not point out that MissInnocent is a fucking retard to want to bear this man's child?
Second, the idea that fathers are nothing more than sperm donors who can be vanquished from their own children's lives at the whim of a woman is completely and disgustingly cruel to the child in question. Children are not property. They are human beings with an absolute, inherent right to know their own origins and to have a meaningful relationship with the person who contributed HALF THEIR GENES. I'm speechless that this is even up for debate. Just tell your child you don't know where Daddy is?
Oh, but Prudie, of COURSE we know where he is: scuttled in a hole. Christ. You fucking bitch.
Now let's get to the real issue: should MissInnocent rape Daddy's bank account for the next 18 years to support a child he may have ZERO interest in fathering? Let's assume the pregnancy was unintended. It is up to MissInnocent to decide whether the child is born. MissInnocent has the power of life and death. She may kill that baby at any stage of the pregnancy, up to and including murdering that baby the day before she is due. It's unfair, it's cruel and there is NO WAY around that. MissInnocent MUST have that power.
So what power should the father have? Over HER body, none. Not one ounce. No way. What he should have power over is his OWN body, including the right to determine what he will do with the money and resources HIS OWN BODY produces. Whether he uses his mind or his brawn or both to generate income, that income is the direct result of the labor of his own body, and he MUST have the right to decide how to use that income. If MissInnocent wants to bear a child, she can bloody well do it with her OWN resources.
Yes, you read that correctly. CHILD SUPPORT SHOULD BE 100% VOLUNTARY.
No man should be able to force a woman to carry through a pregnancy she did not intend, does not want and has no intention of accepting responsibility for. And that's a two way street. No woman should be able to force a man to use his body to pay for a child he did not intend, does not want and has no intention of accepting responsibility for.
That's the price for women's complete and total sovereignty over their own reproductive capacity. You may abort any baby, at any time, for any reason from your body. And the father can abort YOU, any time, for any reason, from his BANK ACCOUNT.
Want to end single motherhood? Make it ILLEGAL to compel men to pay for children they don't want. How many single mamas will be hopping on the BabyDaddy train when the BabyDaddy can NOT be forced to provide a lifetime of cash benefits? Want to reduce the incentive to divorce for no particularly good reason? NO CHILD SUPPORT. The children go to the parent who can provide for them. End of story.
Oh my! Why, that would mean that DADDY would almost always get custody.
But, but, but … then we would have to agree that FATHERS are just as important as mothers. Well, we can't have that, can we?
The hell we can't. Dear Prudence would never be able to get away with such hate expressed towards a religious group, an ethnicity, a racial group, gays or lesbians, disabled people, ANYONE AT ALL, really. Except MEN.
Unacceptable. Fuck you Prudie. And fuck every woman who reads that crap and thinks it's just peachy advice. What can you do about it? You can donate to the fastest growing political cause in the West.
And you know what? It's not even about the FATHER'S rights. At the end of the day, every child has a RIGHT to grow up knowing their own fathers, the vast majority of whom are decent, loving, wonderful men who will shelter them with love, guide them with respect and teach them with honesty and intelligence. Oh, does that surprise you?
Ask yourself why. Don't think feminism has taught our culture to hate men? Then think carefully about WHY the idea that men are kind, decent, loving, wonderful and worthy of respect seems like such an odd thing to say. It was easier to believe the disturbed creep story.
And as for MissInnocent, here's some advice: think about that child. Not yourself, not your friends, not the cute little outfits you plan to buy for the baby to wear to daycare because you won't survive without a partner to support you financially. Think about the BABY. And know that if you DENY her a father, if you raise him alone, you have significantly reduced his or her chances to have anything approaching a decent life.
You get to decide if you want to be a mother. But no matter what little lies you spin in your own twisted mind, your child has a FATHER. All children do. I wouldn't count on him scuttling into any holes.
Lots of love,

I decided to catch Cape Town's MyCiti bus into town, to attend the Open Book Festival, held in the CBD. After all, I have my pre-loaded bus card, so why not? Fighting city traffic and hunting for a parking never appeals to me. The bus had to be the better option.
All went according to plan from my local stop, to the City terminus. What a good idea this was! Now all I had to do was find out where to catch the last bus to take me to the Festival venue at the Atholl Fugard Theatre. So I approached the nearest MyCiti official and asked which bus I should take to the District Six Museum, knowing that it was around the corner from the Fugard.
I know I said District Six Museum but what the official heard was only the first part. She told me there was a District Six stop. So: I boarded. The bus ploughed up Adderley Street, into Darling Street, past the Castle, and up the hill to Cape Town Tech. At which point I had a nasty sinking feeling. I knew that my intended destination now lay half a kilometre behind me, but the bus forged on. Sure enough, there was a District Six stop, but it wasn't where I needed to alight! By now, we were too far advanced for me to jump off and walk quickly to the theatre. Sometimes you just gotta relax, and admire the view. Which I did, for the next half hour.
The higher we ascended, the more spectacular the views. First the narrow streets of Woodstock, gentrified cottages and pricey eateries; then the hodge-podge of shabby Salt River shops and backyard dwellings.
Ahead were the narrow, narrow streets of Walmer Estate, which our bus driver tackled with verve , causing me to feverishly repeat my mantra. Up and round and round, to the windy heights of University Estate, a fantastic view of the harbour far below – vessels, oil rigs, cranes, and the Atlantic.
Down, down we plunged at breakneck speed towards the maelstrom of Salt River traffic circle which is a crazy roundabout of trucks, bakkies, cars, motorbikes all converging on a mammoth traffic circle – I clung onto my seat grimly as our Lewis Hamilton-wannabe driver charged round the circle, back up into Salt River Main Road which I knew would ultimately lead us back to the City terminus. But not before we'd missed several cars by a whisker in Salt River, and had an altercation at the bottom end of Adderley Street, where the road narrowed down to one lane and a cheeky white Corsa thought it would nip smartly in front of our bus … The Corsa lost out, defeated by a storm of angry hooting from our driver.
I think I used up my day's allocation of adrenalin, but I loved seeing the flower sellers in Trafalgar Square, loved the cypresses and green grass of the upper mountain slopes, the harbour views, the tatty peeling charm of Salt River – and miraculous to report, I boarded another bus, got off at the correct stop, dashed up Harrington Street and made it to the venue in time. Phew!

GI Jobs magazine again puts FHSU on lists of Military Friendly schools
08/20/10 kc/kb
HAYS, Kan. -- For the third year, Fort Hays State University has been recognized as a military-friendly school by GI Jobs Magazine. FHSU made the top 15 percent of all schools nationwide and is eligible for additional resources designed to maximize recruiting efforts to prospective military and veteran students.
The criteria for making the Military Friendly Schools list includes efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students and results in recruiting military and veteran students and academic accreditations.
"The university works hard to put its best foot forward for all students, including all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who take classes from us while serving at their duty stations around the world," said Dr. Joey Linn, associate vice president for student affairs and registrar.
"It is important to meet the needs and expectations of the different segments of our student body," he said. "Soldiers, sailors and airmen all over the world have given us very positive feedback about the flexibility of our academic programs, the affordability of our tuition and our outstanding faculty."
"We are an institution where active duty military personnel and veterans receive all the help we can give them and they can use all the benefits they have earned by their service," said Dennis King, director of FHSU's Virtual College and Learning Technologies.
"Being designated as a military-friendly university in GI Jobs magazine helps us get the word out to active duty and veteran students," he said.
As a military friendly school, FHSU will be included in a basic listing in GI Jobs magazine's "Guide to Military Friendly Schools," which publishes in September. This list offers veterans guidance on which schools are doing the most to embrace them as students.
The Virtual College delivers course work to students at locations and times that fit their busy schedules. It delivers mediated courses in degree and non-degree programs from FHSU's College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Leadership, College of Education and Technology, and College of Health and Life Sciences through various formats, including but not limited to interactive television, video, DVD and the Internet.
To learn more about the military-friendly schools list, go to the Web site, www.militaryfriendlyschools.com. The site includes interactive tools and search functionality to assist veterans in choosing schools that best meet their educational needs.

Well, I can't share the happy snaps from my glorious holiday last month (I could actually, these days, courtesy of Apple, but it's not the same as those slide nights of old). However, here's some random observations on what I've been reading, on holiday and since, that I'd like to share:
Adrian McGinty's splendid 'Sean Duffy' crime series is set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Been around a few years, but I've only just got to them. I started with the sixth, and most recent (I've since read the first, and you could start anywhere). I found the title irresistible, Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly (nod to Tom Waits). And the book was too, first-rate dialogue, plotting, characterization, and a cool, laconic cynicism, totally right for the time and place of the 'Troubles'. It's a cracker of an opening, with Duffy digging his own grave as reward for solving the crime, and the standard holds from there.
Dervla McTiernan's The Ruin is also first-rate crime fiction set in Galway, Ireland, and a very good first novel. To call it a police procedural is to sell it short, such is the intricate plotting and interweaving of forensic policing with authentic characters, moral dilemmas and a rich sense of Ireland's complex past.
The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer: again, a new author for me, but this American novelist has been around for more than twenty years (interestingly, The Wife (2003) has just been released as a film). I will read more of her. The Female Persuasion is witty, thoughtful and insightful, and full of brilliant, sharply observed life. It's deliberately arch title begs the question of what kind of legacy second-wave feminism has left for contemporary young women. A coming-of-age story with a slightly improbable air of optimism at its end, and some glaring constraints of artifice in plot, this is nonetheless an incisive, thought-provoking, imaginative book for our times.
Warlight by Michael Ondaatje: a wonderful writer, whose books are few and far between, so it's great that Warlight doesn't disappoint. Elegiac, and beautifully manipulative in the way it reveals a mysterious, concealed past, this is a story which thrills is it unravels its secrets. Only a craftsman of Ondaatje's skill could carry it off.
White Houses by Amy Bloom: is a short, but densely and intelligently written novel about a much-covered subject, the 'White House' of Franklin, and, more significantly, Eleanor Roosevelt. What gives it a unique, and fascinating perspective is that the 'inside' story is being told through another real-life person, Lorena Hicock—aide, close companion and sometime lover of Eleanor. I found the book a small miracle of compressed wit, at once moving and full of acerbic observation about politics and power.
The True Colour of the Sea by Robert Drewe. I'll never forget the excitement and thrill The Bodysurfers created more than thirty years ago. It was a superb collection of stories, that, almost in one book, turned our attention from the bush to the beach as the focus of Australian life. In August, we have a new collection of stories, where subjects big and small, comical and serious, are fleshed out with the ocean as setting, or participant, or giving us 'true colour' —vibrant and engaging
Her Mother's Daughter by Nadia Wheatley: I'm part-way through this absorbing, and very moving memoir. It's an important document in Australian social history (both of Wheatley's parents played significant media roles in, after World War 2, when they worked collaboratively together. But theirs was a profoundly unhappy marriage, and at the core of the book is a tribute to the mother who died young, and whose life she celebrates.
Lastly, an invitation to come and hear Leigh Sales, on October 2nd, when she will mark the publication of her new book On any Ordinary Day with an event at the Seymour Centre (booking details here). Essentially a book about how ordinary people endure the unthinkable, (the subtitle: Blindsides, Resilience, and what Happens after the Worst Day of Your Life, tells it all), this is also a very personal story, and Sales brings her formidable journalistic skills, and great compassion and wisdom to her subject.

The right to be called a Texan is a privilege that all Texas residents, current and past, speak of proudly. While for many the process to become a Texan requires living in this great state long enough to fall in love with the place (which rarely takes long) or to be born here, there also exists a more formal way to become a Texan that few may know about. This process takes place at the whim of the governor when they decide to proclaim a special someone an Honorary Texan.
Some may wonder, "Why is it a big deal to become an honorary Texan?" After all, isn't Texas just another state? Well, that would ignore the fact that Great Britain's favorite candy bar ever is the Texan. What other great state is so sweet to taste and so grand in size? Alaska may be the largest state, but it cannot boast of chocolate-y sweetness. Idaho may have the Spud Bar, but that only has a regional northwest impact by their own admission. The international impact of Texas finds its symbolism in this lil' tasty treat (never mind its defunct status). There is even a grassroots movement to free the Texan from candy purgatory! (insert Texas secession joke here…)
Also, what other state produces such pride from its residents? For example, if you travel internationally and run into a Texan, ask them where they are from and you don't hear, "The U.S." Instead, you hear, "Texas!" This reaction seems to be due to the pure awesome-ness that one finds in Texas. Heck, if you don't believe me then just listen to former NFL coach and legendary Texan Bum Phillips!
So, now that the greatness of Texas is settled there just remains the matter of giving a more comprehensive list of honorary Texans. These men and women have been chosen for various reasons – some more confusing than others – but we can truly call them family now that call Texas their home (like some other home-grown Texans). Be sure to honor these honorary Texans by checking out the tasty side of Texas at www.texastreats.com!
