Just before I left for our New Zealand campervan trip in October, I wrote Part 1 to this post, sharing my concerns about if our holiday was really going to be a a holiday with an almost 2 year old. Well I'm back to tell you the truth about doing the campervan thing with a toddler. This was the first time we'd gone on a plane and on a proper travel holiday with Elliott.
Our holiday started off wonderfully, Elliott was an angel on the plane, he slept for a while, he sat and sucked on his lollipops or a while or happily watched the iPad, we didn't hear a noise from him. Our first night was in a hotel near the airport and all was good, we had the creature comforts we needed and space for Elliott to 'let loose'. The next day, we picked up the campervan and this is when we'd get a real taste for what it was going to be like.
This was our itinerary (we were going to do Milford Sound, but due to bad weather the roads were closed. Good for us, it was defintely too long a drive for Elliott).
Day 1 – Overnight in Christchuch
Day 2 – Christchurch to Lake Tekapo
Day 3 – Lake Tekapo to Arrowtown
Day 4 – Arrowtown to Queenstown
Day 5 – Queenstown
Day 6 – Queenstown to Wanaka
Day 7 – Wanaka to Geraldine
Day 8 – Geraldine to Christchurch and Fly Home
The scenery was amazing, I didn't realise there would be as much snow on the mountains as there was because the last time we visited it was winter. It was lovely to reminisce about our holiday there back in 2007, well before Elliott came along. We visited some of the same places and got photos in the same spots except this time, we have a lovely little addition. 🙂
|Lake Pukaki on our way to Arrowtown & Queenstown
|The first time Elliott has seen snow. We took him to Coronet Peak where we skied last time, luckily there was a little bit of snow left.
Some of the experiences with Elliott were wonderful and I'm very glad we will have them to look back on. But…would I ever do a campervan trip with a toddler again? No, I probably wouldn't.
For Mr. G and I as adults, it was very easy to drive long stretches and look at the beautiful snow capped mountains, the sheep, the trees, the rivers…but for Elliott, well he just can't do that like we do and we were well aware of that fact. What we didn't know is how long he'd last on each stretch. If he wasn't asleep, he could really only last 45mins to an hour at a time without having a meltdown because he wanted to get out and run around or play with something. Most of our stretches were around the 3 hour to 3.5 hour mark. We would make pit stops every now and then, but couldn't stop long otherwise we wouldn't reach our destination in time. In hindsight, perhaps it may have helped to have a longer trip but the budget wouldn't really allow for many more extra days.
Most of the time I found myself sitting in the back of the van, continually picking up the toys Elliott would
drop throw onto the ground in frustration or I would be holding the iPad for him and going from one video to another, sometimes repeating the same Peppa Pig episode 3 times in one drive. Have I mentioned how much we began to hate the sound of Peppa Pig? As usual, Elliott had so much pent up energy but he couldn't use it and on the days it was raining, it was so hard! We knew it was going to be like this, but we wanted to give it a shot and have no regrets.
Up on the mountain in Queenstown while waiting for Mr. G to do the luge, Elliott just wanted to keep running off down the hill, gee I got so much exercise that day! I remember at the Arrowtown holiday park, Elliott was fascinated by this huge Winnebago parked up on the hill, not overly close to our van. Multiple times a day, he'd run off over to this Winnebago and so we would have to keep going running after him. Being at a holiday park means that sometimes there are vans and other vehicles driving in and out, so we couldn't turn a blind eye. I don't blame Elliott though, he was just sick of sitting in the van only to be transferred into a pram to walk through the town. He wanted to walk around and discover because that's what he loves to do! I did bring along a little backpack which had a parent handle attached, but Mr. G was a bit apprehensive about using it for some reason .We haven't used it before, perhaps that's why. Anyway, I think you get it, there were few chances to sit down, relax, enjoy and take in the surroundings, this usually only happened during sleep time.
But, as I finish up this post about the holiday experience, I look at the photo of Elliott and I in the snow and I definitely don't regret it, no matter how hard and frustrating it was at times. We've learnt from the experience, we know what works and what doesn't on a holiday and what stimulants Elliott needs in those situations and best of all, we have the good memories and moments in time to look back on. No, I wouldn't do a campervan holiday with a toddler again, but I'm glad we did it and I would recommend trying it at least once because you'll not only look back on the memories, but look back and think 'Wow, we did that with a toddler? We can handle any type of holiday now.'
What have your experiences been like traveling with a toddler? Would you do it again?

Only Regret Is That It's Not A Hatchback... That's The Only One — A bit vanilla, but otherwise she's been bulletproof. Comfy, somewhat sporty, excellent if thirsty engine. What would make for exponential improvement though is another gear in the tranny, 4 doesn't cut it for the 2.5L engine, especially when driving in the city

Pros: Perfect commuter, can be sporty when provoked

1997 Acura TL 3.2 Premium FWDReview
1997 Acura 3.2 Tl Review (first Generation) — Performance is overall good: excellent high speed breaking and cornering, good acceleration, and melodic exhaust note. Build quality meets the high expectations one would expect from Honda/Acura. Appearance of the styling of the car is somewhat conservative, but has sporty features. Cost of ownership is a little spendy (premium fuel demanded and Acura certified parts recommended), but reliability makes up for much of the price (car is now 11 years old!). Fun to Drive!
Pros: Performance, Reliability, Value
Cons: Off-the-line acceleration (electronic shift transmission), Fuel economy (23-25 mpg on premium)

Police body defends controversial procurement deal
Sprint ii framework predicted to save £18m over three years
The National Policing Improvement Agency has defended its decision to force the Met in England and Wales to procure IT kit exclusively from the Sprint ii framework, citing cost savings in the two months since it was implemented.
This will scupper any lingering hopes resellers had that the NPIA would backtrack on its controversial ruling to buy through a single supplier, SCC, and revert to Buying Solutions Commodity IT Hardware & Software deal.
"In the first two months since mandation, the Police Forces in England and Wales saved £150,000 cash by using the mandated Sprint II Framework," an NPIA spokesman told The Register.
He said this was equivalent to seven front-line police officers and predicted the savings to ramp month-on-month, "leading to estimated savings of £18m over the next three years".
"Sprint II has saved Forces an average 4 per cent on prices previously paid and greater savings are being targeted through the greater aggregation of police spend with other Government bodies and standardising common IT items," the NPIA spokesman added.
The exact level of orders was not disclosed, but the spokesman revealed the savings included 8 per cent reductions achieved on IBM Lotus Notes licence renewals, around 40 per cent on HP hard drives, 10 per cent on graphics cards and 14 per cent on Adobe licence refreshes.
Disgruntled CITHS suppliers questioned how Sprint ii could possibly offer cheaper prices on kit given the lack of competition, but NPIA said the benefits included an open-book framework and centrally managed contracts to ensure more aggressive pricing.
"[This] gives buyers full price transparency over the cost price paid by the supplier in order to ensure value for money and a dedicated web catalogue that can be fully integrated into e-procurement systems to reduce the cost for placing an order," he said.
The mandate was in response to the Coalition's cost savings initiatives and Sir Phillip Green's highly critical report of government's fragmented procurement processes, which failed to pull together the collective buying power of public sector bodies, NPIA added. ®

The red carpet outside the Beverly Hilton was the site of "a severe outbreak of frizz," in the words of one hair stylist, thanks to a steady rain that kept things soggy but still couldn't dampen the spirits of Golden Globe attendees.
"How much do the ruined hairdos cost?" asked Sony Classics co-topper Tom Bernard. "And will there be lawsuits over the dresses?"
The downpour was strong enough, by L.A. standards, that the "Entertainment Tonight" interview tent had workers using poles to push the water off the roof to avoid a collapse.
But in the best tradition of Hollywood make-believe, none of the stars on hand seemed to have been hit by a drop of rain. They could have been walking through the Sahara, given the amount of moisture that was allowed to touch them by the cadre of umbrella-toting publicists.
(L'Oreal Paris was on hand to help alleviate the frizz factor, setting up in the ladies room of the BevHilton's International Ballroom with three makeup and hair pros for on-the-spot triage. The comestics giant typically provides this service for the Globes, but the demand was much higher this time around, the stylists reported.)
Despite the rain, the attendees maintained an upbeat tone, particularly among top execs.
Sony Corp. topper Howard Stringer noted that many of the nominated works had done well financially and said he hoped the awards season would "perpetuate the box office glow."
Fox Filmed Entertainment co-topper Jim Gianopulos echoed Stringer's sentiment.
"It's nice when the awards celebrate quality films. It's also not so bad when the box office does OK as well," he said.
Quentin Tarantino said he liked the added drama provided by the day's precipitation. With awards shows, "the more circus-y the better," he said. "This is la dolce vita."
U2's the Edge called the whole scene "fantasyland," but noted, "There's also a lot of real talent here."
George Lucas modestly noted that his role was to sit with Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree Martin Scorsese. "I'm what they call a seat filler," Lucas quipped.
Helmer Michael Haneke, whose "The White Ribbon" won for foreign-language pic, said as he walked into the Hilton that he's enjoyed his sojourn into a world that is at once familiar but also far beyond his usual experience.
"It's like Cannes," Haneke said, speaking through a translator. "Some good films are shown and there's also a lot of nonsense."

(Leiden 1660 – 1690 Rome)
An Elegant Lady with a Mirror
Signed and date middle left in the foliage: J. van Mieris/fecit. 16..
oil on panel
9 x 6 ½ inches (22.5 x 16.5 cm.)
Dealer Hermsen (on behalf of Gurlitt), Paris; Exported from France, October, 1943 (Louvre files, as Frans van Mieris); Sale, Tajan, Paris, 15 December 2009, lot 42 (as Willem van Mieris).
Otto Naumann, Frans van Mieris The Elder, 2 vols., Doornspijk 1981, p. 137, cat. B 27, fig. CB 27 (as possibly a collaboration between Frans van Mieris and Willem van Mieris).
Jan van Mieris, the oldest son of Frans van Mieris (1635-1681) and Cunera van der Cocq, was born in Leiden on 17 June 1660.[1] After a short apprenticeship in his father's studio, the latter, according to Van Gool, decided that Jan should continue his learning with the famous history painter Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711) in Amsterdam.[2] However, Van Gool states, the father finally dropped the idea because of De Lairesse's immoral way of living. Descamps suggests that Jan did go to De Lairesse's studio, but was soon called back by his father.[3] In 1684 Jan was witness to the intended marriage of his younger brother Willem van Mieris (1662-1747). In 1688 he was living with his mother at the Oude Vest in Leiden. He must have left for Italy that same year, for a letter he wrote to his mother from Venice is dated 14 January 1689. The letter confirms Jan's good health. Nevertheless, Jan had not sold any paintings yet and was planning to move on to Florence. Van Gool recalls that he was invited to the court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, but was sent off for religious reasons. Apparently he then moved on to Rome, where he unexpectedly died on 17 March 1690.
In the present painting a stylish woman looks toward the viewer, leaning over a balustrade, partly covered by an exotic carpet. Her mauve velvet cloak is rendered in the delicate manner that instantly reminds one of Jan's father Frans. In her left hand the woman holds a luxuriously decorated hand mirror; her right hand is opened toward the viewer, hanging over a balustrade. In front of her stands an opened jewelry box. The Italianate landscape in the background features a large house on the left, mostly hidden behind trees. In the distance a country house is situated on the banks of a lake, behind it rise mountains.
Due to Jan van Mieris' untimely death, at the age of 29, not many paintings of his hand are known. The rare extant works show that Jan was an ambitious young painter with a considerable and promising talent.[4] This may, for instance, show from the early reproductions after his works made by Amsterdam printmaker and publicist Abraham Blooteling (1640-1690), dating from the second half of the 1680s. One of these prints, Woman with a Purse, counterpart to Man with a Roemer Glass, depicts a young woman very comparable to our Portrait of a Woman holding a Mirror.[5] Dressed in an elegant gown, this woman has turned her head to the viewer in a similar way. She too has a frivolous curl hanging down to her forehead. Like the lady in the present painting, she holds up her left arm, this time dangling a purse. Typically, the arm is molded with the same curved grace as is the case with the woman holding the mirror.
Jan seems to have produced several related women's portraits. A comparable subject was auctioned in Paris in 1812.[6] It depicted a woman with a mirror, a tapestry and a jewelry box in front of her. However, the painting also included an old woman in the right background. As Peter Hecht points out, only very few paintings can nowadays be attributed to Jan van Mieris and most of the paintings mentioned in old sales catalogues are gone without a trace or turned out to be works by other family members.[7] In the case of Portrait of a Woman holding a Mirror it is the other way around. Before the painting's recent cleaning and restoration, when Jan's signature appeared, it was long thought to be by Jan's father Frans. As such it was catalogued when the painting was exported from France during the Second World War. In his 1981 monograph on Frans van Mieris, Otto Naumann rightly expressed his doubts concerning the attribution and suggested a collaboration between Frans and his youngest son Willem. Next to that, Naumann compares the painting with Frans signed Woman Weeping of nearly the same dimensions.[8] Indeed, the painting features an almost exactly identical tortoise shell coffer and stone balustrade. Further, both women bear the same facial features. Remarkably, this painting also includes an older woman in the right background. While Woman Weeping can be date ca. 1678, Portrait of a Woman holding a Mirror should be dated ca. 1685.

East Regional May
East RegionalMay 28, 2005
Full Results
Randall's Island, N.Y. - The Florida State track and field men's squad won the 2005 NCAA East Regional Championship on Saturday, May 28, 2005 at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in New York. The meet came down to the men's 4x400m relay with FSU ahead of Florida 89-84. With a second place finish in the 1600m relay, the Seminoles held on to their lead, winning 96-94, for the first title in three years of competition. The 4x400m relay was comprised of senior Greg Johnson (Miami, Fla./FIU), freshman Elliott Wood (Sydney, Australia/Narrabean Sports), junior Rafeeq Curry (Miami, Fla./ACE Academy) and NCAA East Region 400m Champion freshman Ricardo Chambers, ran 3:05.58 for the second fastest time in the meet.
Freshman Ricardo Chambers (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer) won the 400m dash in his second fastest time of the year, 45.64. The nation's leading 400m champion cruised to his first region championship adding ten points to the team score.
Just minutes before running the relay, Curry picked up his second NCAA East Region Triple Jump Championship, with an FSU all-time and regional meet record jump of 54'11.25" (16.75m). The five-time All-American heads to his third outdoor championship in as many seasons. Curry won the regional triple jump in 2003 during his freshman year. Teammate and senior captain Willie Johnson (Orlando, Fla./Edgewater) finished sixth in 50'10.25" (15.50m).
The women's 4x400m relay ran the best time this season, finishing first in the second heat and fifth overall in 3:38.50. First legs, junior Evelyne Cynthia Niako (Stone Mountain, Ga./Stone Mountain) and sophomore Dana Massiah (Trinidad & Tobago/Bishop Aenesty) kept the Seminoles in the top two spots through the first exchange. Getting the baton just three feet behind Clemson, junior Kim Adams (Stone Mountain, Ga./Stone Mountain) picked up the pace and passed Clemson's Sierra Hill on the third turn to hand off to junior anchor LaKendra McColumn (Lithonia, Ga./Southwest Dekalb) who cruised the final 400m for the heat win.
The men's 400m-relay had a strong second place finish, running 40.08 in the finals. The group, comprised of junior Derrick Baker (Miami, Fla./Northwestern), freshman Kenny O'Neal (Oakland, Calif./Skyline), senior Rhoan Sterling (Cambridge, Ontario/Toledo) and rookie Walter Dix (Coral Springs, Fla./Coral Springs), earned an automatic berth to the NCAA National Championships. The win moved FSU into first place with 32 points after seven events.
Dix became the second Seminole at the meet to win two regional titles in one meet, taking first in the 100m and 200m dashes. The 2005 ACC Performer of the Year crossed the line in 10.22 in the 100m. In his third race of the day, Dix moved into third on FSU's all-time list and broke the region record with a time of 20.23 in the 200m. It is Dix's fastest time this season.
After what seems to be a championship trend with a delay due to severe weather, South Carolina women's team claimed their second championship title this season, winning the NCAA East Regional Championship at Ichan Stadium on Randall's Island in New York, N.Y. on Saturday. The Gamecocks dominated the competition, totaling 102.25 points, 20.25 points ahead of runner-up Miami, with nine athletes and two relays advancing to the NCAA Championship. The men's team finished in a strong fourth place ahead of state rival Clemson, with five athletes advancing to the national championship.
"It was a fantastic track meet," said Head Coach Curtis Frye. "Our athletes did a wonderful job. It was a battle for our men to finish fourth and it was a goal coming into the competition for them to finish ahead of our state rival Clemson, who had a good meet. I'm really proud of them."
Starting off the final day of competition for the Gamecocks, senior All-American Chelsea Hammond finished tied for eighth in the high jump with a height of 5'7 ¼. However, the women's relays had a repeat performance of the SEC Championship, setting the tone by starting and ending the final day of competition in true championship fashion.
The foursome of All-Americans freshman Amberly Nesbitt, seniors Alexis Joyce, Erica Whipple and freshman Shalonda Solomon ran a close 4x100m relay early in the competition with Miami, who finished second with a time of 44.17. The Gamecocks, however, were not to be defeated, capturing the lead on the third leg and running away with the win on the anchor leg in 43.68.
Following the 4x100m relay, sophomore All-American Ronnetta Alexander and junior All-American Tiffany Ross-Williams ran a very competitive 100m hurdles that ended with both advancing to the NCAA Championship. Alexander, who ran her best performance of the season, finished second to North Carolina State's Ebony Foster, with a time of 13.29. Ross-Williams, who was seeded at No.1 in the region going into this weekend's competition, finished fifth with a time of 13.36.
The Gamecock success kept rolling as the women's team dominated the dashes. In the 400m dash, sophomore All-American Stephanie Smith ran an outstanding personal best to finish second in the event with a time of 51.54, advancing to nationals. Florida sophomore Tiandra Ponteen ran a meet record-breaking performance of 51.08 to claim first place. USC freshman All-American Natasha Hastings, who was seeded No. 1 in the event, ran 52.86 for seventh place.
The 4x100m relay foursome of Nesbitt, Joyce, Whipple and Solomon also represented the Gamecocks in the 100m final, with three advancing to the NCAA Championship by finishing 2-3-4. Leading the Gamecocks was Whipple who really stepped up her performance in true senior fashion this weekend in New York. Whipple had the second fastest time in the preliminaries and returned Saturday to finish second in the final with a time of 11.44, earning a trip to Sacramento. Solomon, who also ran 11.44, followed in third place, while Joyce ran 11.55 for fourth place. Nesbitt finished seventh for the Gamecocks with a time of 11.63.

Mecklenburg County is considering not paying a final $1 million installment to the U.S. National Whitewater Center as part of a seven-year, multiple-government subsidy to help fund the 400-acre park.
Under the agreement, the park would get up to $12 million in "service fees" over the seven years that began in 2006 and is ending. Since the center opened that year, it has included more than $1.7 million a year in its revenues from six governments: Mecklenburg and Gaston counties, the city of Charlotte and the Gaston County cities of Mount Holly, Belmont and Gastonia.
A million dollars has come each year from Mecklenburg. Under the agreement, the county would pay up to $7 million and the city of Charlotte, $2 million.
Yet Mecklenburg Finance Director Wanda Reeves is "absolutely considering" whether to withhold that final installment on the recommendation of county Park and Recreation Director Jim Garges.
"I am looking at it and making sure we'd be in compliance" if the county didn't pay, Reeves said. "We want to verify all the numbers before making a decision."
The decision is up to Reeves, who may decide as early as Monday. Withholding the payment wouldn't require approval from county commissioners.
The whitewater center's marketing director, Jesse Hyde, declined to respond to several questions about the potential loss on Friday, writing "we are not addressing this issue in the media."
The center's financial report filed with the county shows it had more than $4 million in operating profits – revenues over expenses – in the fiscal year that ended last Oct. 31. That is down nearly $350,000 from the previous year because of higher expenses such as wages, food and retail purchases, supplies, insurance and marketing.
Yet the $1.7 million from government subsidies was included in the revenues. The center, the report said, expected to collect that money early this year.
Reeves said the center is allowed to include the money it spent to pay down debts in its request for Mecklenburg's final $1 million. The center's financial statement said it paid more than $3.1 million last year and $2.9 million in 2012 in additional principal payments.
"The debt service is an allowable expense in calculating whether or not they qualify for the fee," she said. "They anticipated their operating income would not show a profit."
But it did, Garges said, relieving the county of any obligation to pay the final installment.
"The payments are based on loss," Garges said. "They're not in a loss position; so in our opinion, we don't believe we owe anything this year.
"They think we owe them money and that the numbers reflect that. That's not how we see it."
The nonprofit facility in northwest Mecklenburg sits on 400 acres of county-owned land, which it rents for $1 a year on a 40-year lease that ends in 2044.
Before it opened, the economy was booming and backers said the center might never need public money. They expected the center to pay off loans – from 40 banks and other private lenders – on its own.
But as the economy soured, the center was unable to pay off the principal of its construction loan and defaulted.
Yet in 2010, the lenders forgave $38 million of its debt, about two-thirds of its mortgage. Since then, the center has retired most, if not all, of the remaining $12.4 million in loans, in part by using the government subsidies, Reeves said.
The center's Hyde wouldn't say what impact the possible loss of the subsidies could have on the facility's operation.
Garges, who has been working with center officials, said he believes it is on surer financial footing.
"From where it was prior to the recession ... I think it is on a solid trajectory, particularly after a substantial part of the debt was wiped out," he said. "The whitewater center today and into the future is in great shape. They're very successful, and they'll continue to be.
"It's top shelf – one of the finest recreation facilities as you'll find anywhere."

The DC GOP and its attendants in the punditry are bent on diminishing the influence of conservatism generally and the tea party specifically. Its been this way for a long time. The DC GOP establishment mobilized all its resources, for example, to stop Ronald Reagan from winning the nomination in 1980. This opposition is mostly because adherence to conservative principles would force them to take positions that are unpopular in Washington's salons.
They will use virtually any election result to argue that GOP candidates need to "moderate" their position away from strict conservative beliefs. Even after the GOP wave election in 2010, the DC GOP argued that conservative, tea-party backed candidates had prevented the GOP from posting even more wins. After the Party's epic loss last week, conservatives are again being blamed for costing the GOP victory. It is utter bunk.
The truth is, conservative, tea-party backed nominees make terrible candidates–except when they don't. For every Sharon Angle or Christine O'Donnell, there is a Ron Johnson, Mike Lee or Marco Rubio. Yes, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock were flawed candidates, but so were establishment figures like Connie Mack and Linda McMahon. Bad campaigns lose. Sometimes these bad campaigns are headed by conservative candidates. Other times, by moderate, establishment candidates. Congressmen Dennie Rehberg and Rick Berg both lost high-profile, very winnable Senate races. Neither would ever be confused with a conservative, tea-party candidate.
And if the more moderate Republican loses a primary, that should be an indictment on their campaign or their record, not some negative reflection of the party's most loyal voters. Dick Lugar was on track to win his primary against Mourdock this year, until it was discovered that Lugar didn't actually have a home in Indiana. Only in Washington does it seem reasonable that an elected official can represent a state without actually living there. According to the DC GOP, Indiana primary voters "blew" a safe seat because they took offense that their Senator didn't live in the state. This thinking is exactly backward.
Conservatives and the tea party are the most misunderstood phenomenon in American politics. The overwhelming majority of us just want to be damn well left alone. The growth of the tea party was a gift to the Republican party. It provided an active and energized base of activists and volunteers who could be utilized in campaigns. In 2010, this organic outpouring produced the most decisive GOP victory in history. The GOP won seats up and down the ballot, capturing Governors' offices, state legislative chambers and an innumerable host of local offices.
And, then, the DC GOP squandered it.
By the end of 2011, the DC GOP was avoiding the tea party. Never fully understanding that the mainstream media is an active participant against them, the GOP bought into its narrative that the tea party were "extremists" who didn't fully appreciate how politics is supposed to work.
The GOP and the Romney campaign not only ignored their base; they neglected to even try to turn out their base. Worse, they didn't press any of their advantages against Obama. Fast and Furious? Never heard of it. Insider Trading? Yawn. Solyndra and GM/Delphi pension theft? Move along.
2012 represented a strategic mis-calculation by the GOP and the Romney campaign. They based their entire appeal to the mythical "center" of the American electorate. They would base their campaign on winning the support of low-information, low-propensity voters who are among the more fickle people in the world.
In short, the GOP ignored its base. In return, the base ignored them on election day.

MANILA (Reuters) - The United States and the Philippines will sign a new 10-year security agreement on Monday allowing American forces an increased military presence in the Southeast Asian country, senior government sources said.
The agreement is renewable based on the needs of the two oldest allies in the Asia-Pacific region, one of the sources said, asking for anonymity due to lack of authority to speak on details of the pact.
The signing ceremony will take place just a few hours before U.S. President Barack Obama holds a bilateral meeting with Philippine President Benigno Aquino at the presidential palace in Manila, part of Obama's week-long tour of four Asian allies.
Philippine Defence Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg will sign the agreement on Monday morning at the Philippine Armed Forces headquarters.

Until 2003, PayPal was the largest payment processor of real money online gaming transactions across the world. However, between 2003 – 2010 PayPal chose to stay away from the industry, before returning in 2010 in only those countries where real money gaming was legal. That's the reason why many players perceive that PayPal has been among the late entrants in the UK's real money mobile gaming industry. Slowly but firmly, it has been spreading its wings and has been collaborating with a number of sites which have become Paypal sites – only the licensed ones though.
In this particular article, we've put together a list of 10 best mobile casinos in the UK that accept PayPal for deposits and withdrawals.

Each of the Work Colleges evolved over time into what they promote today. All were founded through humble means: Students who wanted an education but could not afford one, and colleges with modest budgets that wanted to provide an education.
Work Colleges evolved from a practical solution—allowing students to work and assist with the college's institutional functions and operations. Today, that means everything from technology to accounting and finance, faculty research to kitchen operations, and farm chores to the President's office. Work College students do it all.
The seven Work Colleges are federally defined and follow specific guidelines and regulations. Each college has a work program structure that parallels that of an academic program including a Dean of Work and consequences for non-performance.
The current federal guidelines for the Work Colleges can be read here or downloaded here. They are not complicated, but in reality can be challenging to implement effectively. Although the Work-Learning-Service approach compensates student workers, it is very different from Federal Work Study. Here is an infographic that details how the two programs compare.
Student work does offset some campus operational costs, but it is Not about creating cost-saving measures or reducing operating costs. Managing a work program that can employ all resident students comes with its own set of direct and indirect expenses. The Work College model is holistic and touches on all aspects of campus and college life.
Following are some of the initial requirements and considerations for institutions interested in becoming a Work College. Federal guidelines require an eligible Work College:
- is a public or private nonprofit, four-year, degree granting institution with a commitment to community service;
- has operated a comprehensive work-learning-service program for at least two years;
- requires all resident students who are enrolled on a full-time basis, to participate in a comprehensive work-learning-service program* for at least five hours each week, or at least 80 hours during each period of enrollment, except summer school, unless the student is engaged in an institutionally organized or approved study abroad or externship program; and
- provides students participating in the comprehensive work-learning-service program with the opportunity to contribute to their education and to the welfare of the community as a whole.
A comprehensive Work-Learning-Service program must have the following components:
- is an integral and stated part of the institution's educational philosophy and program;
- requires participation of all resident students for enrollment and graduation;
- includes learning objectives, evaluation, and a record of work performance as part of the student's college record;
- provides programmatic leadership by college personnel at levels comparable to traditional academic programs;
- recognizes the educational role of work-learning-service supervisors; and
- includes consequences for nonperformance or failure in the work-learning-service program similar to the consequences for failure in the regular academic program.
Becoming a Work College requires a fully holistic approach and buy-in across campus stakeholders. It calls for as much philosophical shift as an operational change. Work Colleges view the Work-Learning-Service approach as tantamount to their missions.
Over and above eligibility requirements, institutions should assess what system changes might be needed to become a Work College. Here are a few initial questions:
- Does your college have a campus culture (supported by administration, faculty & staff, student body, Board or governing body, alumni and financial donors) that will embrace the tradition and dignity of work?
- Do you currently have a student-centered work culture on your campus?
- Do students contribute to institutional operations?
- Are student jobs supervised and/or evaluated for learning opportunities? What is the purpose of student work?
- How are students paid, if at all, and at what rate of pay?
- Is student work financially compensated? From what sources?
- Is there operational and management infrastructure that supports student work?

Join Forces with United 4 Children!
United 4 Children has been working to educate and support professionals in the St. Louis area for over 40 years. You are invited to become an affiliate.
United 4 Children offers two types of Affiliation with our organization:
} Comprehensive Affiliation
} Professional Affiliation
Comprehensive Affiliation
Comprehensive Affiliation is open to child care programs who are seeking professional development support via onsite services (Goal setting, administrative planning, consultation, workshops, classroom observations, Environment Rating Scales, mock accreditation walk through, feedback sessions, coaching, online social networking coaching, family education sessions, CDA staff coaching, and technical assistance). Service delivery is chosen by the program as part of the goals they set for the year, individualized based on program needs and supported by quality consultants. Services are delivered during the affiliation year, September 1 through August 31.
Each program receives ten units of service. Onsite individual consultation (Goal setting, administrative planning, consultation, classroom observations, Environment Rating Scales, mock accreditation) translates to one unit per one hour onsite. The exception to this rule is onsite program workshop delivery: since workshops take extra time to research, prepare materials, deliver, and process, 2.5 units are deducted for each one workshop hour.
Programs may choose: Two 2-hour workshops, two environment rating scales, or a combination of services.

Asin wants a hit Ghajini from Santa this year
What gifts do Bollywood stars want in their Christmas stockings this year? Read on to find out what Dino, Malaika, Amrita and others wish for, and how they plan to celebrate the day.entertainment Updated: Dec 27, 2008 10:05 IST
It will be a quiet Christmas with the family for most Bollywood celebrities this year. If Asin is hoping to catch her debut Hindi film Ghajini on Christmas, Malaika Arora is looking forward to a quiet Christmas lunch with her family and Celina Jaitley is happy she's in Geneva for a "white Christmas".
Asin: Christmas back home in Kerala used to be big. We had cakes and christmas tree, carols and candles. In Mumbai, we won't be doing much except going to Church mass on Christmas eve. But yes, I do hope to catch my film Ghajini on Christmas. Can you believe it? I still haven't seen it! I hope, the audiences will go to see Aamir's muscles but notice me also. The one gift I want from Santa? For Ghajini to be a hit<b1>
Dino Morea: Spending X-mas at home. My parents are down from Bangalore. So it will be family and a few close friends. I've got the Christmas tree up and decorated. We'll all go for midnight mass and an X-mas brunch that will probably go on till late evening with a free flow of wine and pudding.
Malaika Arora: Will go for midnight mass. And on the 25th have a quiet family lunch. Honestly, I want no gifts in my Christmas stockings.
Rensil D'Silva: I'm here in New York celebrating a white Christmas with my family. Don't want anything from Santa this year. It's about time someone got Santa something for a change, don't you think?
Amrita Arora: I'll bring in Christmas by going for midnight mass. We have a family lunch at home every Christmas. That tradition will never change. And since I have everything this year, I want Santa to get some peace and love for my loved ones.
Kelly Dorji: This year I've asked Santa to get me Kate Winslet. She has been a secret passion for years. Let's see if he does the needful. And this Christmas I'm going into silent meditation retreat with the art of living. It will take me silently to the new year.<b2>
Celina Jaitley: I'm in Geneva for Christmas. So it will finally be a white Christmas for me after many years. I'll be meeting friends and family on Christmas eve followed by an opera and then Christmas mass. I've been a good girl this year so I expect Santa to bring me all the things that I want including that someone special.
John Matthew Mathan: I plan to spend X-mas at home with family. What I'd really like this Christmas is a united India led by uncompromising leaders. For myself I want enough financial independence to be able to make the films I want to.

Sometime back in the darkest days of the George W. Bush years, a meme was making the rounds on the Left side of the Internet: "ZOMG! The US military has a plan to invade CANADA!!!!"
At the time, I took it as yet more evidence of the depressing depths to which our political discourse had sunk. The United States is a real country with a functioning military — of course we have a plan to invade Canada, just as Canada, a real country with a functioning military, has a plan to invade us. Any country more serious than, say, Luxembourg has plans to invade all its neighbors, plus plans to fight off invasion from America, Russia, Mars, and zombies.[i] "Having a plan" is not the same thing as "having a reasonable expectation of executing that plan," let alone "really really wanting to." Planning for highly improbable scenarios like a Canadian invasion, a zombie outbreak, etc. is how military officers get practice doing important parts of their jobs. Breathe easy, Saskatchewan — the Marines won't be storming ashore anytime soon.[ii]
In fact, I thought all large organizations behaved this way. Banks "plan" to get robbed all the time, right? Not that they really expect to – you know, given how extensive and expensive their security is – but they'd be fools not to have a contingency plan in place, right? I mean… right?
The Texans make me wonder. Professional football is pretty much the definition of a contingency-dependent business. Teams expect their players to get injured and miss time. So why do Rick Smith and Co. seemingly have no plan at all for replacing Deshaun Watson? Or anybody else for that matter?
Consider Rick's recent free agent moves. On November 3rd – that's five days ago – he signed QB Matt McGloin, another graduate of "quarterback guru" Bill O'Brien's ashram. But before McGloin could even start deciphering the terminology of BOB's legendarily complex offense, the Texans cut him in order to sign… Josh Johnson. In case you're wondering who Josh Johnson is, don't worry, the rest of the league is wondering the same thing – he hasn't suited up for an NFL team since 2013 and last attempted a pass in 2011. Remember 2011? Back when Adele ruled the airwaves, Green Lantern was on the big screen, and hair-gelled android Mitt Romney was thinking about maybe running for President?
This is not the work of a man who has carefully considered a basic part of his job.
Current starter Tom Savage has yet to play six straight quarters of professional football without getting hurt. He's been on injured reserve more times than he switched colleges. The dude's fragile, is what I'm trying to say, and there's a very good chance that the backup, whoever that might be, will be on the field this Sunday. A general manager who knew what he was doing would want the backup – again, whoever he is – to get in as much practice as he possibly can.
With Duane Brown, too, Rick seemingly flew by the seat of his pants. Risking injury by playing a guy one game, against the team he's about to get traded to, is, upon further reflection, not the Rick Smithiest thing a GM could possibly do. The Rick Smithiest thing to do is what Rick Smith actually did, which is trotting out the combination of Chris Clark, Kendall Lamm, and Julien Davenport at the second most important position in football and saying "we're good." I'm not saying the dead certainty he'd be running for his life every game definitely blew Deshaun Watson's knee out, but I'm not not saying it either.
And so it goes down the line. J.J. Watt was coming off two back surgeries; do you think he might miss another game or two? Nor is Jadeveon Clowney the paragon of long-term health. Shouldn't we have, I dunno, signed a D-lineman or two in the offseason, when a few guys who aren't Lamarr Houston might've been available? Ditto cornerback, where Kevin Johnson's walking boot, Jonathan Joseph's festering corpse, and Kareem Jackson were penciled in to start? You think maybe there were some depth issues there? Ditto inside linebacker, where only the magic of discount steroids kept Brian Cushing's 947-year-old thrice-repaired knees from starting again.
Rick Smith evidently saw none of this. This is not a man with a plan. We're going 3-13 this year. Can we finally fire this fucking guy?
[i] No offense to Luxembourg.
[ii] Wonder if anyone will get that joke?

Sometimes it's hard to figure out if a car just looks bad or was already in an accident. Now, we have proof. A company called FB-ONE recently plied their craft at turning this already regrettable Chrysler Crossfire into – get this – an homage to both Audi and AMG.
Yes, the two completely unrelated and hotly contested companies are finally represented on a single chassis. The creation receives a custom carbon-fiber body kit built by FB-ONE, and as you've almost certainly realized – the headlights from an Audi A8. There is one redeeming quality however; the Crossfire is powered by a 3.2L AMG sourced engine. It was on display at Monaco's Top Marques Auto Show, but don't expect royalty to be cruising in one.

Yumbolt brings back that old-fashioned flavour from the fabled hills of Humbolt Co. California. Yumbolt possesses a sedative stone with an outdoor aroma, she will often induce heavy eyelids with a satisfying smile from the first toke till the last taste remains. A producer of large succulent flowers, this girl will qualify for every grower`s wants and desires. Cannabis connoisseurs cannot resist her hypnotizing powers. Yumbolt is believed to have originated from Himalayans of Afghanistan and climatized in the mountains of Humbolt County California in the late 70`s. Several generations later in the early 90`s we were blessed with the cannabis seeds and then propagated them in Holland. Sagarmatha entered her in a Cannabis Cup and received an honorable mention. An outdoor sample from a customer in 2001 had similar characteristics as the samples smoked in Humbolt in the early 80`s.
These nugs often resemble dense, slightly golden frosted pinecones. Another amazing feature is the formation of tunnels of trichromes secreted on the tiny leaves that have curled in on themselves surrounding the tops.
Yumbolt will bring you high up in the hills and let you experience some real Californian sunshine.

What was the Cold War? McCarthyism The Decline HUAC Investigations Russia Vs. The United States
Started in 1945, before McCarthyism started in 1950
The USSR was spreading Communism throughout Europe.
This was the first time Communism had threatened Americans.
The cold war ignited the Communist "witch hunt" by McCarthy.

205 Communist members in United States Department of State
Set off era of paranoia and accusations Republican U.S. Senator from Wisconsin
Aimed to declare the State Department associated with Communists
Used his power as chairman to continue investigations on Communists The Cold War and it's Effects Relations to the Crucible Accused with no evidence
Government had too much power
If accused expected to give up associates
If accused your life is ruined
In Salem excommunicated from church
In Red Scare you become an outcast House of Un-American Activities Committee
HUAC investigated allegations of communist activity
Life became very difficult for those who were accused of communism Many individuals were persecuted and blacklisted
"Exiled from society"
Employers refused to hire you Even after the accusations ended life was not normal for the accused.
They were still outcast from society
Could not get another job for many years
This was true for both the witch hunts and communist hunts McCarthyism and Its Relationship to The Crucible McCarthy lost all influence he had
Government "apologized" to all who were accused.

Why Auction Off Your Property?
Sellers can expect a sale at the highest price available in the marketplace within 6 to 10 weeks, making it sometimes the easiest and fastest way of obtaining cash for your property. Putting your property on the auction block also creates a demand for the real estate and an urgency to buy. The auction stimulates the market through an intense and condensed marketing campaign putting not only local, but regional and/or national attention on your property thus, widening the buyer pool. Auctioning creates an opportunistic buying environment, causing buyers to react favorably and quickly and allows sellers to be proactive in their marketing plans. It places them in control of their success. If you're thinking of auctioning some real estate or personal property, or for more information on the auction process, talk to our Tucker expert Richard Chattin in auctioning!

Forces are used to apply additional behaviour to particles based on realistic physics. They can be applied globally to a scene, or only affect a specific cuboid region.
Multiple forces can be added to a single particle simulator. Forces can be added to a particle simulator using the icon to the right of the Forces group on the timeline or in the Controls panel.
All forces are affected by the particle mass property in Particle system -> Movement. Particles with greater mass will be less affected by forces.
|Active - turns the force on and off.
|Kill particles - particles will die when entering the force region.
|Kill mobile emitters - mobile emitters will die when entering the force region.
|Global - affects the entire scene. All particles will be affected regardless of position.
|Cuboid - force only acts within a specified volume, defined by the cuboid. You can change the dimensions and transform the cuboid. The Mask option uses the cuboid as a mask, hiding any particles that pass inside the volume or behind it from the camera's point of view.
There are several types of force.
Direction forces particles in a specific direction.
The strength and direction of this force can be adjusted and keyframed. By combining multiple direction forces you can simulate both gravity and wind in a single particle simulator.
Attraction forces draw particles towards a point in 3D space. When using a global force, this is the value of the force's center property. With cuboids it is the center of the shape.
The strength of attraction forces can be adjusted.
Detraction forces propel particles away from a point in 3D space. When using a global force, this is the value of the force's center property. With cuboids it is the center of the shape.
The strength of detraction forces can be adjusted.
Turbulence causes particles to randomly change direction.
|Smooth - smoother movement causes particles to change direction in a gentler manner.
|Seed - changes the random composition of the turbulence field.
|Strength - adjusts the strength of turbulence.

Build Guide by

Gangplank Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
For items, the stats that Gangplank needs to fulfill his support damage role are: Armor Penetration, Cooldown Reduction, Chance to crit, Damage and Health (among other forms of survivability). The described item build attempts to maximize all of these things.
Stage 1 (starting items):
Goals: Farm with Smite and Parrrley. Try and stay in your lane long enough to get to Stage 2 items.
Commentary: Starting mana regen remains about the same. Health regen suffers, but you make up for it with an extra health potion. Early game crit chance is dramatically less than before, but with the right lane partner, you should still be able to grab some early kills, especially now that you have so much armor penetration to start. Melee is quite viable in a lot of level 1-3 situations. Look for when your lane opponents overextend themselves. Most players won't expect Melee + Parrrley + Ghost to drop them before they return to the safety of their tower. Health potions will be your primary source of HP regen for the remainder of the laning phase. Buy more when needed.
Stage 2:
Goals: Use Smite and grab Golem buff. Begin using Parrrley non-stop to farm and harass your lane opponents. Establish lane control. Be mindful of other lanes that could use a Cannon Barrage to gank or push down a tower, or to thwart enemy ganks in other lanes.
Commentary: With the improved damage scaling on Parrrley, I have decided it is most prudent to rush an Infinity Edge. Missing out on chance to crit is okay so long as you can make Parrrley non-crit for a fair amount of damage early on. You can upgrade the Meki Pendant to a Chalice of Harmony, but I find I don't need it that much early. Later in the game, if I have 500 gold laying around, I will upgrade the to a Chalice for a little extra magic resist. Finishing an Infinity Edge fast (before 20 minutes if you can) is the way to go. The faster you get it, the more likely you are to snowball on the enemy.
Stage 3:
Goals: Team battles and pushes will start taking place, make sure to Parrrley the enemy DPS and use Raise Morale when appropriate. Use Cannon Barrage once the enemy is committed to the fight. Continue to grab golem buff if possible.
Commentary: Finish that Infinity Edge asap to take advantage of the buffed damage scaling. Even though you are no longer doing magic damage with parrrley, you still cannot neglect the awesome potential of cannon barrage, and hence should get Sorcerer's Shoes in anticipation of upcoming team battles. Other boots provide marginal benefit to Gangplank at this point in the game. It works well to grab it around the time that your Cannon Barrage hits level 2. Build up your chance to crit by grabbing another Cloak of Agility.
Stage 4:
Goals: The enemy's natural armor should be increasing now beyond your current penetration capabilities. Build a Last Whisper to keep up with their armor growth. Get your crit chance up more by grabbing another Cloak of Agility or Zeal. The Cloak of Agility gives you more chance to crit, the Zeal gives you some movespeed and a number of Stage 5 build options. Try to end the game now with your team, if possible. Your tremendous mid-game advantage will start wearing off. A well-executed Cannon Barrage could help win your team the game here. Winning one big team battle usually results in the enemy losing one or more inhibitors.
Commentary: Basically this part of the game is about grabbing more damage, armor pen, and chance to crit. This is the core build. Most games should end here. If the game doesn't end you will need to make some end-game decisions. Be prepared for Stage 5. HP and survivability will be crucial in this next stage.
Stage 5 (when the game just won't end):
Goals: Games can be decided upon how well you can use Cannon Barrage; Don't let your team down. Your mid-game advantage should be wearing off by now, and you will need a serious HP boost to keep doing damage. Gangplank will need HP and a targeted slow at this point because of his new dependence on doing melee damage in addition to parrrley. Sell the Chalice and grab a Phage. At this point you have several options, depending on how you built in Stage 4:
+ /or/ /or/ /or/
Commentary: In general, you want: Core build + Frozen Mallet/Trinity Force + Phantom Dancer/Other Defense Items. Trinity Force can actually give you a viable damage boost. In my opinion, since the nerf to Sheen, an early Sheen is no longer viable, but getting a Trinity Force in a late game situation could greatly improve your odds of winning. It's obviously all quite situational at that point. Stage 4 will determine how you build in Stage 5.
