Travel to Jordan and experience the ancient city of Petra
Travel to Jordan and visit the rose-hued fortress city of Petra, which was the capital of the ancient Nabataeans - a mysterious people who carved a trading empire from the desert in what is now modern Jordan. Take time to explore the extraordinary beauty of Petra's rock-hewn architecture and to discover its history. There's also time to float in the legendary Dead Sea and see Jerusalem shimmering in the distance from mosaic-adorned Mt Nebo. This short break amid ancient wonders is the perfect way to cap off a voyage to the Middle East.
Spend a day taking in the majesty and mystery of unforgettable Petra. You will be blown away at your first sight of the Treasury.
From the top of Mt Nebo take in the views over Jordan.
Later journey to the lowest point on earth and experience the feeling of being weightless while you float in the super salty dead

Well, having volunteered to moderate this blog for the New Zealand/Australia time zone, I thought maybe I'd better actually introduce myself so you know who I am when I do terrible things to your entries. Just kidding. I'll try very hard not to.
I'm Bronwyn, I'm 52 years old, and I live in Dunedin, New Zealand. I work at the University of Otago's Biochemistry Dept, where I do a bunch of odd things, ranging from typesetting teaching materials, through web site maintenance and IT support, to illustrating journal articles and using molecular modelling & viewing software to help people with their research.
I live with four cats, and also have a grown up son and two small (and incredibly cute) granddaughters who live in Australia, so I visit them as often as I can.
I've been making bento-ish lunches for a few months, and have been subscribed to Maki's blog for a year or so now, but just registered last week so I could participate in the Five Week Challenge. I've been having trouble controlling my weight since I stopped smoking two years ago, so definitely come into the "using bento for weight control" classification. I very much enjoy reading Maki's blogs.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I live in NZ too! I'm in Wellington and have also been a lurker on Just Hungry and Just Bento for a while now. I'm hoping to join in with the challenge this week. My husband and I spend an insane amount of money on bought lunches, so bento'ing for me is about saving money and keeping healthy.
Its very cool to meet another NZ bento'er -there aren't that many of us it seems. I get so envious of all the cool bento accessories available overseas that never make it to NZ.
I promise not to be a troll during the NZ/Aussie time zone! haha.
Hi. I see from the other topic that you have also discovered Honeythief from Chch!. That makes three of us at least. We need someone from Auckland now - they actually have shops up there which sell bento boxes and things.
Hi Bronwyn - great to have you on board! :)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Hi guys, yes as mentioned I am here in Christchurch! We actually have quite a good showing here on this board for such a little country with so few bento supplies :)
I'm 34 and live in Christchurch with my hubby and our three chickens (mmm, fresh eggs every day). I work in an office in the city centre, and it costs me a fortune to buy my lunch every day so I am making bento lunches in order to save some cash. These days I am making delicious meals from scraps of leftovers that would previously have gone in the bin, so it's definitely making a difference.
BTW, there is a lovely lady called Sue who sells some bento supplies on TradeMe; I think she goes by the name of flatfrog. I bought a really cute lunchbox and some rice moulds from her last week. I have no affiliation with her other than as a happy customer, but she might be able to help us acquire a few supplies!
- Honeythief
I was in Auckland at Xmas and found quite a few bento things in a couple of Japanese shops in Queen St. Mostly in the Japanese $3 shop, in which everything is $3.49 - they don't count GST in the $3. There is nicer stuff in "Made in Nippon" but much less of it.
I am going to Adelaide in April for my younger granddaughter's 1st birthday (yay, I get to make a birthday cake again), and will have a look around the shops there. I'm happy to take orders, so long as they're not too large - I always take more stuff over than I bring back.
I went there over the holidays too! I'm from Wellington, I'm a stay at home mum (and part time student of Japanese at VUW) with three year old bento-loving twins and a bento-friendly husband. If you're making one, you may as well make three or four.
I have also bought a bento box from Flatfrog, but have found some of the things she sells (like the sushi roll makers) are cheaper in $3 Japan or even in Woolworths.
I'm hoping to make a nice big order from Jbox this year, I really want the Hello Kitty bento making set. My daughter is a big Kitty fan, we had Kitty and Shinkansen for their birthday cakes this year.
My Japanese/bento blog:
I have bought stuff from JBox, they're good - but the exchange rate is absolutely horrible at the present time. The yen has gone through the roof, and we now have the NZ rouble again. You might want to wait for a while. A good long while, the way things are going.
Does anyone know where you can get coloured wide elastic from? The one thing $3 Japan didn't seem to have was belts for the boxes.
Dorayaki, I thought I recognised your username! Should have known I might bump into you on here :)
I've searched everywhere I can think of in Chch for things like sushi roll makers and cannot find them anywhere. I've never heard of $3 Japan and can't remember seeing a Woolworths anywhere here (but being fairly new to the city myself it's possible that I just don't know where to look). Anyway, I figured it was easier to just buy from TradeMe than spend any more time traipsing around the city looking for specific items that might not even exist here :)
There is a weird sort of remnants shop very near my workplace in Christchurch and they often have things like wide elastic. I need some myself for my newest box and I had planned to check there this week. If they have something pretty I'll report back here and see if anybody wants some posted to them.
A wide ribbon with an elastic gusset would also work, of course. My mum used to make hairbands like that for me and my sisters when we were little.
Sounds good, can't wait to hear back from you. I had thought of dyeing some white elastic, but it seems an awful waste. You can get fluoro colours of elastic at Spotlight, but I don't want fluoro! And I don't like going to Spotlight, they have interesting stuff but don't treat their staff very well as far as I can tell.
The shop didn't have any interesting elastic this time around. Just the standard black, white, and navy, and one that was white and navy with some red bits. But I'll keep an eye open - they get new stock all the time.
Thanks heaps.
Where is the shop? I'm thinking of going up to Chch at the end of February for a weekend. Maybe.
The other thing I was thinking was a non-stretchy fabric strap with a velcro fastening. Could make straps out of matching material to furoshiki.
Whoa! I had not discovered flatfrog! You guys are awesome.
Yay for lots of NZers - proportionally high if you think about it.
RE bento belts - I make my own with black elastic and either sewing on it in coloured thread or embroidering. Lately I've just been using Lock'n'Load type boxes so haven't needed the belts so much.
I find the Asian Grocery Stores have good things like sushi mold and generally awesome lunchbox supplies for quite cheap. Never seen bento boxes though.
**Off to look at flatfrogs listings...***
Hey Jenny! Nice to share a forum with you again.
I got some belts from $3 Japan in December, there was a whole packet of them in two different sized. They weren't all that nice though. I think Maki has a post around somewhere about how to make them, they would look nicer. I also have one belt that came with my daughter's Hello Kitty bento box, but have lost the one that came with my son's Shinkansen one.
Here's a photo of my haul from $3 Japan at Christmas. I'm hoping to make a trip up there in the next few months, and will be happy to post things down if we don't find an Auckland member by then.
This shop would be the best place for bento boxes and accessories - there is one in Mt Eden and one in Glenfield (Auckland), the $3 Japanese shop can be hit and miss with their product range but Japanese Lifestyle is awesome :)

Daily links, Mon., Oct. 3: Church limericks (rated G), more fun than a border fence, and defending of altar girls, and temp marriage
Not much to report in the wide world of the web, but here's a couple of laughs and something to cry about.
Two bits of humor floating around: The Wimpy Catholic has a fun, tongue-in-cheek guide to rooting out illegal immigration, including this gem: "7. Spread scurrilous rumors about Dora the Explorer. If necessary, doctor up some incriminating frames." That should do it. High-powered theologian Joseph Komonchak collects limericks written during and about the Second Vatican Council at dotCommonweal, which shows that the pre-conciliar church did indeed have a sense of humor.
On to the ridiculous: America magazine issues an editorial in favor of altar girls; no, the editorial isn't ridiculous. The ridiculous part is banning altar girls. I'm waiting for the sign on the sacristy door that reads, "No girls allowed--except to clean up." With the "r" i girls backward of course. Sigh.
Must be Monday.
P.S. Oh yeah, I forgot Mexico's City's proposed solution to a 50-percent divorce rate: term-limited marriages. Hmm...

An 8-billion-gallon Renewable Fuels Standard, part of the energy bill (S.10) passed recently by the U.S. Senate, offers financial possibilities for Southwest corn and grain sorghum producers.
Even with this Senate action, a comprehensive energy bill remains a key but elusive goal for Congress. Currently, the House and Senate bills differ; a conference committee will work on a compromise sometime after the summer break. The Senate passed S. 10 by an overwhelming margin, 85 to 12.
Meanwhile, Texas farm and ranch association spokesmen say the Senate's action offers significant opportunities for improved profits as some of the regions' grain crops provide raw material for ethanol production.
Wayne Cleveland, executive director, Texas Grain Sorghum Association, says the RFS is a "strong positive for the grain industry across the United States. I feel that it will fundamentally change the industry."
Changes could include increased acreage, new markets, and better prices.
"Even though we are growing more (corn) we know we will be able to use it," says David Gibson, executive director, Texas Corn Producers. Corn is relatively cheap and with increased ethanol use the price could improve, he says.
The implications go beyond America's farm gates.
Steve Pringle, legislative affairs specialist, Texas Farm Bureau, predicts more home-grown fuels. "I think it (the RFS) will provide some solution to our current energy crisis," he says. "Texas producers will play a part."
"With consumer gasoline prices near the highest level in history, we feel it is imperative that Congress encourage production of fuels from farms and fields of the United States," says Dave Frederickson, National Farmers Union president.
Plant construction
Increased production will require construction of new ethanol plants.
Cleveland says 80 ethanol plants currently operate in the United States. They produce about 4 billion gallons of ethanol in one year at full capacity. The RFS would require 80 more plants to be built to meet the 8-billion-gallon standard.
At least four new plants will be considered for Texas. Construction could be under way within 18 months for one plant in Dumas and two in Hereford, depending on RFS standards and status of state funding for ethanol incentive, says Cleveland. "The proposed plants could produce up to 250 million gallons of ethanol a year, the equivalent of all the grain grown in the Panhandle."
Pringle says another plant outside of Fort Worth is being considered.
Farmers gain as producers and consumers. "Not only can we be suppliers of alternative fuels, but agriculture also is a major consumer," says Pringle.
Distiller's grain, a by-product of ethanol production, also benefits farmers. "Distiller's grain can be fed to both ruminant and non-ruminant animals, in wet or dry form," says Cleveland.
"It's a win, win," says Greg Shelor, vice president, National Grain Sorghum Producers. "Ethanol is the most promising value-added market for sorghum producers with 1 out of every 10 bushels going through an ethanol plant. We'd like to see the Senate get something done," he says.
Pringle concurs.
"The Texas Farm Bureau is extremely supportive of the 8-billion-gallon RFS, and hopes the House and Senate will agree," he says. "Bottom line, we need an energy bill on the president's desk ASAP."
The Renewable Fuels Standard offers significant benefits to America's farmers as well as to the nation's energy security. Agricultural interests want to see something soon.
American Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman voices strong approval for the Senate's action.
"Americans are one step closer today to energy independence because of the Senate's passage of comprehensive energy legislation," Stallman says. "The American Farm Bureau Federation is pleased the bill provides for an 8-billion-gallon renewable fuels standard by 2012, which is vital to U.S. agriculture and, ultimately, to passage of comprehensive energy legislation.
"The Senate energy bill will increase and expand our domestic energy resources, alleviate the supply and demand pressures on natural gas, diversify our energy portfolio, promote renewable energy resources and increase U.S. energy independence and national security."
'Strongest bill'
"The policy and tax provisions for the production and use of ethanol and biodiesel makes the Senate energy bill the strongest biofuels bill ever," says Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) President Bob Dinneen.
"The Senate has once again supported renewable fuels in a strong, bipartisan fashion. This message will resonate from one side of Capitol Hill to the other. We applaud Senator Domenici (R-N.M.) for bringing people together to face our energy challenges."
"I've always said, there is no silver bullet in the grain industry, but this would get pretty close," says Cleveland.

|Taxonomic Notes:
|Silva Jr (2001, 2002) argued that the tufted capuchins and the untufted capuchins (sensu Hershkovitz 1949, 1955) are so distinct in their morphology that they should be considered separate genera. Cebus Erxleben, 1777 for the untufted group, and Sapajus Kerr, 1792 is the name available for the tufted capuchins.
Cebus queirozi Pontes and Malta, 2006 in Pontes, Malta and Asfora, 2006, is evidently a junior synonym, or, as argued by Oliveira and Langguth (2006), unavailable for lack of a registered type specimen.
The species was transferred to Sapajus (Lynch Alfaro et al. 2012).

|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Lowland coastal rain forest and Montrichiardia linina swamp in north-east Brazil (Pontes et al. 2006), secondary forest, semi-deciduous seasonal forest, canopy at about 20 m and emergents about 25 m. Capuchin monkeys are arboreal quadripeds, they are typically found in the lower to mid-canopy and understory (Freese and Oppenheimer 1981; Fragaszy et al. 2004; Jack 2007).
Capuchin monkeys are frugivores-insectivores, including a wide variety of fruits, seeds and arthropods, frogs, nestlings and even small mammals, supplemented by stems, flowers and leaves. They are extractive, manipulative foragers. Typical group size for tufted capuchins is about 18 individuals, with numbers of females exceeding the numbers of males (adult sex ratio of 0.85). Pontes et al. (2006) recorded a group of 18. Males disperse. Both sexes take up linear hierarchies, the top ranking male being dominant to the top ranking female. Subordinate males are often peripheral (Fragaszy et al. 2004).
Adult male HB 36.8 cm, TL 37.8 cm, weight 3.0 kg (Oliveira and Langguth 2006)
Adult male HB 40.0 cm, TL 41 cm, weight 2.9 kg (Pontes et al. 2006)
Adult female HB 35.1 cm, TL 38.4 cm, weight 1.8 kg (Oliveira and Langguth 2006)
Adult female HB 36.1 cm, TL 38.0 cm, weight 2.5 kg (Oliveira and Langguth 2006).
|Major Threat(s):
|The major threats are hunting (for food and pets), and habitat loss and fragmentation (mainly through coastal development and sugar cane).
|Conservation Actions:
The species has not been recorded from any protected areas, though several are within range, including Guaribas Biological Reserve (2,714 ha), Barra do Mamanguape EPA (14,640 ha), Manguezais da Foz do rio Mamanguape (Area of Outstanding Ecological Interest; 5,721 ha), and Engenho Gargau RPPN and Mata Estrela RPPN. Surveys over its entire range are needed to establish habitat preferences, area of occupancy, and population numbers.
It is listed on CITES Appendix II.

Tony Knight, the founder of Knight Rifles muzzleloaders and a passionate advocate for muzzleloader hunting and shooting sports, died Monday in Iowa.
Knight was 67. He was born Dec. 21, 1945, in Kirksville, Mo. Knight was a veteran of the United States Army and served during the Vietnam War.
Knight's legacy includes a deep passion for muzzleloading and hunting, and encouragement of hunters young and old around the world. Knight was a gunsmith in Missouri when, in 1985, he founded Knight Rifles and created the modern muzzleloader with the MK-85. The company, which was moved to and headquartered in Centerville, Iowa, was one of the hunting and firearms industry's great success stories as hunters discovered improved accuracy and more options for ammunition and powder, helping spawn other innovations still being improved upon today.
Knight Rifles was purchased by Pradco Outdoor Brands and manufactured for years under the POB umbrella. But in 2009, the company announced it was ceasing manufacturing due to economic problems. The news was shocking but, given the economic climate, not entirely surprising given the competition from other companies and an overall decline in the hunting industry at the time. However, in 2010, Knight Rifles was purchased by Plastic Industries, Inc., based in Athens, Tenn., and continues to manufacture and sell Knight Rifles.
"Tony had a tenacious drive to make the world of muzzleloading better for hunters," said Mike Mattly, public relations director for Pradco Outdoor Brands-Hunting. "He started by making guns that were accurate, safe and reliable, then focused on improving muzzleloading hunting seasons in every state. If you have ever hunted with an inline muzzleloader of any kind, you have Tony Knight to thank."
Knight passionately lobbied openly and behind the scenes in numerous states for inclusion of his "inline rifle" for hunting seasons and for special muzzleloader-only seasons. He visited conservation board meetings, talked with state wildlife officials and legislators, and was available to writers and hunters for advice on muzzleloading information.
Similar to when compound bows began ushering in a new era in the hunting industry in the 1960s and 1970s, Knight's modern muzzleloader and its components did the same. From the days of loose powder, caplocks and flintlocks to his easy-loading rifles, improved bullets and pellet powder charges, hunters found an easier way to enjoy "smoke poles" when pursuing big game. State agencies began adding in-line rifles to hunting seasons and today they're just as much a part of hunting as camouflage and campfire tales.
Knight offered some insight to his history in this interview.
Knight is survived by his wife; Rose Knight of Plano, two children: Bill (Cyndee) Knight of Centerville, Michelle (Patrick) Robinson of Pella, four grandchildren, who were his greatest joy: Anthony, Grace and Gavin Knight of Centerville, Jack Robinson of Pella, brother; John (Patty) Knight of East Peoria, Illinois, sister; Bea (Jim) Hamilton of Kirksville, Missouri and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
We at Deer & Deer Hunting extend our sympathies to the Knight family, and offer our thanks and appreciation to Knight for his contributions to hunting.

OK, so the headline was a little bit of Rush Limbaugh-ism there. I don't really want Joe Banner and Jeff Lurie to fail, since their mission -- or so we've been led to believe -- is to get the Eagles' back to the Super Bowl, and to win it this time. Any Philadelphia football fan wants that with a passion.
Still, it would be nice to have an election every four years, so we could throw these bums out. When you think about it, being an Eagles fan is a lot like being an American citizen. You support the colors, whether it's the red, white and blue or the latest shade of green, and you celebrate the underlying principles, whether it's the Bill of Rights or a Sunday of hard-hitting football and tailgating in South Philly. But you don't have to blindly support your "government."
OK, it's not on the level of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney shredding the Constitution, but the Eagles' management sure is pretty heavy-handed when it comes to the concept of free speech. It's merely tacky and classless when they complain to the newspapers that other teams are getting more coverage than them (although the Phillies pretty much put that issue to bed by winning the World Series). It was chilling when they reached out to get WIP's Angelo Cataldi suspended for two days for criticizing Eagles' security policies over the air. (OK, he used the "n" word, as in "Nazis," but still...a suspension?), creating the no-doubt-desired perception that criticizing Eagles' management can be hazardous to your career.
Now we have this absolutely infuriating episode:
On game days, Leone served as the west gate chief. The gig required Leone to hustle to different areas of the stadium as needed. That was tough. His left leg is weaker than his right, and standing for too long gives him severe pain in his right knee and hip because that's where he shifts all his weight. While on duty, he sometimes needed a wheelchair to get around.
"They had me running all over the place like a nut, but I didn't care," Leone said. "I was so proud to work for them. It was my dream."
Last week, the Eagles fired Leone.
Like a lot of Philadelphians, Leone was upset when Dawkins became a Bronco. So he did what a 32-year-old does these days: He vented on Facebook. "Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver. . .Dam Eagles R Retarted!!"
The story's been out there for a couple of days, but if you missed it you should read the whole thing. Understood, the Eagles are a private company and are within their rights to fire an employee. A private company, but as the only pro football franchise in a football-crazed city, a kind of a public trust. A public trust that cares more about shallow public relations than their actual public. Reprimand this guy, sure, but fire him? The whole thing just feels like a metaphor for how Lurie and Banner view the "little people" who pack their stadium every fall.
I won't even get into some of their recent baffling on-the-field moves, losing Dawkins and their puzzling strategy for the offensive line (i.e., they don't have one). The most offensive line is the one coming from the Eagles' front office, that ultimately harmless criticism gets met with massive retaliation. By the way, I do have one quibble with Dan Leone, which is I don't like it when "retarded" is used as an insult, but I don't think that's what offended the Eagles.
So I'd love to see all of Philadelphia paraphrase Dan Leone, rise up and say in unison:
Dam Eagles R Screwed Up.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas became the eighth state Thursday to enact a near-ban on abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy, and by next week it could outlaw most procedures from the 12th week onward, which would give it the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
The Republican-led Senate voted 19-14 along party lines to override Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of a bill barring most abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy that was based on the disputed notion that a fetus can feel pain by that point. The Arkansas House voted to override the veto Wednesday. A simple majority was needed in each chamber.
That law, which took effect immediately but which will likely be challenged in court, includes exemptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.
Senate President Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, voted to override the veto, but later told reporters he wasn't sure the new law would survive a constitutional challenge.
"If it was an easy answer, then people wouldn't be raising that subject," he said after the vote.
After overriding the veto, the Senate voted 26-8 in support of a separate measure that would outlaw most abortions starting in the 12th week of pregnancy. In addition to the exemptions for rape, incest and the mother's life, it would allow abortions when lethal fetal conditions are detected.
The proposed 12-week ban, which would ban abortions from the point when a fetus' heartbeat can generally be detected through an abdominal ultrasound, would give Arkansas the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, said Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
"This extreme legislation would insert politics into women's personal medical decisions, and we urge Governor Beebe to veto it immediately," Richards said.
Beebe declined to say whether he'd veto the 12-week ban, and has until next week to decide. Unlike the 20-week ban, which took effect immediately, the 12-week restriction if enacted would take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns. The Legislature is not expected to adjourn this year's session until March or April.
The governor has said he thinks it's on even shakier legal ground than the 20-week ban, which he believes contradicts the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion until a fetus can viably survive outside of the womb, which is typically at 22 to 24 weeks.
Beebe said Thursday's override did nothing to allay his concerns about the new abortion restrictions, including the amount of money the state will have to spend defending them. Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office on Thursday estimated that the $118,000 the state paid in attorneys' fees to challengers who were successful in overturning a 1997 late-term abortion ban would equal about $163,000 today when adjusted for inflation.
"Nothing's changed from the standpoint of what I think the problem with the bill is," Beebe told reporters. "It's still the same problem it was before they overrode the veto."
Rita Sklar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, said she was disappointed with the Senate's override and said her group is considering suing.
"We are going to do everything within our power to protect the health and reproductive decision-making abilities of women and in this case that includes looking very carefully at litigation," she said.
Democrats who previously voted for the 20-week ban but against the override said they did so out of deference to Beebe and the concerns he raised over the measure's constitutionality.
"The budget's tight. We're working on giving businesses and individuals some tax relief. I don't think it makes sense to spend money on expensive litigation," said Sen. Larry Teague, D-Nashville, who is a co-chairman of the budget committee.
The 20-week near-ban is based on the disputed claim that a fetus can feel pain by then and therefore deserves protection from abortion. Those who support fetal pain bills say there is evidence that by 20 weeks, fetuses seek to evade stimuli in a way that indicates they are experiencing pain.
But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says it knows of no legitimate evidence that shows a fetus can experience pain. It says a fetus' brain begins its final stage of development between the 20th and 40th weeks of pregnancy, and that certain hormones that develop in the final trimester also must be present for it to feel pain. It's not known exactly when those hormones are formed.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks laws affecting women's health, seven other states have enacted similar fetal pain abortion laws. Similar laws in Georgia and Arizona have been blocked pending the outcome of legal challenges.
Mary Spaulding Balch, the director of state legislation for the anti-abortion group National Right to Life, applauded the Arkansas Legislature's vote overriding Beebe's veto.
"Basic compassion for human life demands that this legislation be enacted all over the country," Balch said.

For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone).

He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if J.B. doesn't come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, J.B. comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, J.B. stages a televised, nationwide competition called Million Dollar Arm in which 40,000 hopefuls compete, before two 18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal), emerge as winners. J.B. brings them back to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House (Bill Paxton). The goal: get the boys signed to a major league team. Not only is the game itself difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things even more complicated – for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach J.B. the true meaning of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial venture becomes something more and leads J.B. to find the one thing he was never looking for at all – a family.

The man who plans to wed Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean has broken his silence about the couple's romance, insisting, "We're each other's everything".
Frances Bean Cobain shocked the world when she announced her engagement to Rambles frontman Isaiah Silva in October, but she has revealed nothing about the low-key relationship.
But now he has opened up about the couple's very private romance, telling People.com, "We're each other's everything. We're homebodies. We don't go out to clubs, so you won't find us stumbling out of them with Lindsay Lohan. We stay at home, read books and watch (TV sitcom) Arrested Development."
And Rambles drummer Mark Kuchel, who is a mutual friend, insists the two are a perfect match and Frances Bean is such a devoted partner she shows up at her fiance's concerts whenever she can: "They're quiet and shy. They're a great couple."

Preliminary reports reveal that 40,301 deer were killed during the Nov. 10-18 firearm season, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
That is a decline of 27 percent from the 2011 record firearm season harvest of 55,400.
In addition to large numbers of deer lost to epizootic hemorrhagic disease, deer populations, permit sales and hunting success were impacted by a record drought and the elimination of Earn-A-Buck rules in some management units, where a doe had to be checked in before or at the same time as a buck.
The harvest total includes any type of hunting permit that was legal during the nine-day season.
Northeast Nebraska had the largest decline in harvest, while southwest had the least decline.
Numbers by region, compared to 2011, was as follows:
Northeast – 8,040 deer (down 43 percent)
Panhandle/Northwest – 5,505 deer (down 15 percent)
Southeast – 10,870 deer (down 34 percent)
Southwest – 15,886 deer (down 14 percent).

Rockstar Games comment on the possibility of a collector's edition, as well as some tidbits on the second trailer, for the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto 5."
I hope they don't have a collector's edition (or if they do then have one like GTA4 where I won't care about it) that way I can easily wait for the PC version instead of getting it on PS3.
About the GTA4 collecters edition... Lost the key to the lockbox, d'oh! The hip bag was OK but kinda cheap, shoulder strap broke 1st time I used it. The book & soundtrack were both good though. I hope they do west coast themed accessories with GTA5. I still have my GTA: San Andreas bandana!

The most under-rated British Indie bands of the 90s – Marion, Rialto and more
I have a theory that it takes a decade or two before we can properly appreciate the popular culture from an earlier decade. Much of what we love about the 60s, from The Beatles to Peter Blake, was hideously unfashionable in the 70s and didn't really return to the mainstream until the mid 90s. Similarly the shoulder pads and wonky keyboard bands of the 80s were held in high disdain for decades and it wasn't until …
Yoko Ono's John Lennon inspired menswear debut looks like a Nathan Barley joke
We're not sure what we should have expected from Yoko Ono's debut menswear collection for Opening Ceremony, revealed today. But had we thought about it logically, it'd probably have been something as barmy as what she's indeed delivered. Featuring neon pink shades, arse-exposing mesh trousers and the sort of abstract cock-and-balls motif that'd make Alan Partridge blush, it's like …

I like a good belt, me. From a thin braided offering to a chunky biker buckle, they're my proffered gravity-defying trouser accessory.

Nice and simple: Folk AW09 preview at End Clothing
Two introductions today, just in time for lunch time browsing – a look ahead to Folk's AW09 collection and a lovely site to preview the upcoming goodies. The Folk brand can always be relied upon to provide simple, no fuss clothing and accessories with a great use of colour. And AW09 looks like being no exception to the rule. Meanwhile, newly-discovered menswear store End Clothing is a revelation. Simple, clean navigation and a fantastic range of menswear on the casual-sportswear-outdoor-streetwear trajectory, I've found this site a pleasure to browse.
Filippa K Pre Fall 09
The delicate interplay between the different colours in the Filippa K pre-Fall collection really make it. A brick shirt, cornflower trousers and a pale dove bow tie, the colours are bright but slightly faded suggesting that high summer haze and intense heat. We particularly love the pleated trousers, rolled up they make looking smart a doddle.
Giles Deacon's second range for New Look hits stores on the 15th
Giles Deacon for New Look, one of the few designer X high street collaborations for men returns next week with another collection, featuring a selection of shirts, t-shirts, jeans and knits.
We like that the New Look collections are a chance to see Deacon's lighter take on fashion with witty t-shirt prints and bright colours. Hopefully we'll see see pieces which push boundaries a little more in future collections but as always it's baby steps for menswear.
Alexander McQueen Menswear SS 10
Alexander McQueen's menswear collections get more and more interesting by the season. This latest show was a clear departure in mood from his last show, 'The Queensberry Rules'.
There was still a menacing undercurrent, with vibes of tortured artist coming through, but the overall atmosphere was that of a more feminine creativity. McQueen's traditional rustic tailoring the look reminded me of some of the Italian workmen that the Sartorialist sometimes snaps.

This collection for Lanvin was typically elegant affair, with the très chic suits and kimono-style jackets. Irreverent touches like trousers and suits made from tie silk reinforce Elbaz's gentle sense of humour and sandals worn with socks gave a geeky twist to the look.
Yves Saint Laurent Menswear SS10
We're still playing post-Glastonbury catchup with all the menswear shows, but the collections have set the cogs in the cranium a-whirring. First up is YSL's collection, which features the director, Samuel Benchetrit's son lazing around a hotel room Nouvelle Vague style. The clothes themselves seem to be a mix of high-low tailoring and rock chic. Looking forward to seeing this in more detail.

Milan Prada Men's SS10 Catwalk Show
Working within the confines of the grey suit Miuccia Prada played around with masculine conventions. Slashed shorts and sleeves nodded to a violent outburst against formalwear. Shoulders are very much the focus, even without jackets they were shown off in tank tops and sleeveless cardigans. Textured tops and greyscale prints conveyed the feel of newsprint.

I know i can cancel the contract and pay a large fee for doing so....but when i asked my boss (korean lady) she told me just leave is ok they cant do anything about it. This is a little dishonest but i was wondering if there are any further dangers if i do so? I most likely wont come back to korea(not for many years anyways).

Please give a big welcome to Brenda Cooper! She's visiting the virtual offices to chat about her Ruby's Song series, and she brought along a copy of The Diamond Deep for one of you to win!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Brenda Cooper] Curiosity, passion, and fear drives me to write and talk about the future a lot. Techno-geek revolutionary bike rider. Loves dogs.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about The Diamond Deep?
[Brenda Cooper] Imagine coming from a farm in the hinterlands somewhere that hasn't been covered by the Internet yet into the middle of New York City. Only in this case, you're coming from a starship to the home that you left generations ago. You've struggled to even maintain your level of technology, and without the ship's systems, you'd be almost feudal. But when you get home, time and the network effect have turned it into something you barely recognize.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Brenda Cooper] I've always been fascinated with the Eva Peron story. I love the musical and the glittery legend parts of the story, but more importantly, I'm curious about how a girl from essentially nowhere can end up with such influence that she changes the heart of a country. I wanted to tell that story in my own way. Ruby is not Eva, and she lives in a very different place. So I got to play with some of my favorite techno-social ideas and worries while writing about a dynamic woman who uses a combination of grit, courage, sexuality, and performance art to change a society.
Ruby Martin is the primary in the story, modeled a bit on Evita including some of the good and some of the bad bits. She's not a kick-ass feminist with three black belts who almost never makes a mistake. I wanted to write a more complex character than that. In The Diamond Deep, Ruby is paired with Joel North, the driven leader of his society.
I worked in beats that echo the musical and other research I did on the real Eva Peron as well, but the story is also very different. It has very classic SF tropes and images, from robotic pirates to genemod humans. Readers don't need to know or care about the historical story, and anyone wanting an exact re-telling will walk away confounded. So Ruby's story is original, even though it has old roots. But I think the best stories ever have old roots that run deep into us.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Ruby?
[Brenda Cooper] Determined, Innocent, Passionate
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Joel is never without.
[Brenda Cooper] Worry.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Ruby's pocket?
[Brenda Cooper] A comb, money, keys.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What has been the most challenging part of writing this series?
[Brenda Cooper] It's a big story – and I had to fit the big story into two books. That meant I had to choose really carefully what to leave in and what to leave out. I think these are faster-paced than my other books because of it, so I think it was good. But being coherent with so few words to play with was a challenge.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Brenda Cooper] Wow. I'm going to go with genres here instead of individual people. I love hard science fiction because it gives me creative ways to read about the future and nice glittery ideas. I love folk music, especially the kind of rabble rousing slightly rocky music that came out of women's music movement, like Holly Near and the Indigo Girls. I also like musicals – we have season tickets to musical theater here and what I love about good musicals is that they compress story down the fine emotional bits.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Brenda Cooper] Time, sleep, and a warm dog at my feet.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Brenda Cooper] Neil Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" – the audio version where he reads it. Listening to Neil read his own work is a bit like a good cuddle next to a roaring fire.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Brenda Cooper] I love long bicycle rides (really long – like 100 miles at a time), walking the dog, travel, time with family.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
My website is at www.brenda-cooper.com. I can be followed on Twitter @brendacooper and I'm on FaceBook.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Thank you!

About the book:
What if a woman as strong and as complex as Eva Perón began her life as a robot repair assistant threatened by a powerful peacekeeping force that wants to take all she has from her?
The discovery ship, Creative Fire, is on its way home from a multi-generational journey. But home is nothing like the crew expected. They have been gone for generations, and the system they return to is home to technologies and riches beyond their wildest dreams. But they are immediately oppressed and relegated to the lowest status imaginable, barely able to interact with the technologies and people of the star station where they dock, the Diamond Deep.
Ruby Martin and her partner, Joel North, must find a way to learn what they need to know and to become more than they have ever been if they are to find a way to save their people.
About the author:
Brenda Cooper writes science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories. Her most recent novel is THE DIAMOND DEEP, out in October 2013 from Pyr. It's book two of a two-book series that started with THE CREATIVE FIRE. She has seven novels out and numerous short stories. Brenda is also a technology professional and a futurist, and publishes non-fiction on the environment and the future from time to time.
See her website at www.brenda-cooper.com
Brenda lives in the Pacific Northwest in a household with three people, three dogs, more than three computers, and only one TV in it.

Hi people can someone check this text ?
Thank you for your time and help
The glossary list contains expressions and terms used in" ........" process. Some of the terms are also connected to the "......." and are taken from the reports specifications.
The meaning of publishing the glossary list is to settle the "........."terms that would be a standard for future work. It would help to avoid the eventually misunderstandings during the communications for example between report requesters and developers.
With your "......" competence we would need your help with to verify if the terms and expressions in "........." glossary list are correctly defined, and make possible remarks about it, maybe suggest other definitions and the glossaries name.

Well as most of you know a couple of months ago Verizon lost it's case in a Federal Appeals court to keep the names of suspected music pirates private.
At the time Verizon said they would appeal it again, or attempt to have the US Supreme Court to hear their argument.
It looks like they aren't doing that now at all. Verizon handed over four names to the RIAA, and the RIAA has sent out cease and desist orders to them.

A Beautiful Start
A Beautiful Start
We're starting out this Thursday with fair skies and temperatures in the mid 50s to the lower 60s. Right now a large batch of rain has developed in central Oklahoma and it is currently moving to the southeast. Most of the rain should steer clear of us, but a few showers could manage to make a run for eastern Oklahoma.
This afternoon we'll have a chance for some isolated to widely scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder. The severe weather threat is very low today, but some showers could have some locally heavy rainfall.
Rain clears overnight with lows dropping to the 50s and the lower 60s across the area.

It's the one under Burning Bullets...Phone neutraliser
Today's cellphones carry a wealth of personal data and can even act as mobile credit cards. But they are all too easily lost or stolen.
Fortunately, Keith Cocita of California, US, has come up with a way to prevent valuable information kept on a phone from falling into the wrong hands. If a handset disappears for any reason, the owner simply calls it up and enters a secret code. This triggers the phone to wipe its internal memory, along with the contents of its SIM card.
Such a feature could potentially be misused, of course, or the phone might just have slipped down the back of the sofa. So to prevent a needless loss of data, the phone's charging cradle maintains a full record of all personal data kept on the device while charging the battery overnight. That way, the next time the phone, or its replacement, is charged up it will automatically be loaded with all the deleted data. Simple.
Read about the phone neutraliser patent here.

Nashua man suffers burns in incident under investigation by state, local officials
NASHUA - An Amory Street man suffered burns to his face, hands and upper torso Tuesday night in an incident which remains under investigation by Nashua police and fire and state agencies.
The man in his 30s, whose name fire officials did not release, was found at 3:55 p.m. suffering from burns outside his apartment at 11 Amory St., No. A.
Deputy Chief Michael O'Brien Sr. said the man had severe burns covering 20 percent of his body. He was treated at the scene by Nashua Fire Rescue and AMR ambulance workers and then transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center for further treatment.
O'Brien did not know the man's condition Wednesday morning and said it was likely the man was transported to a Boston hospital for further treatment.
He said when firefighters first arrived on the scene, they were told the man suffered the burns at another location. O'Brien said, however, there was evidence of a minor fire inside the man's apartment. O'Brien would not say what firefighters found inside the apartment but police were called to the scene.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, O'Brien said.
"It's an active investigation," he said.

Additional Information
At one point or another we have all been in a store looking for an outdoor boot that is lightweight, flexible and has the capability of keeping our feet dry and comfortable. Then someone asks if they can help you in any way, you tell them a description of what you are attempting to find, and they just look at you as if you asked where you could purchase magic beans. If that has ever happened to you, Rocky is here to save the day.
The Rocky 8" DeerStalker XCS Insulated Boot is the right choice for you! Just to give you an idea about how comfortable the #7419 boots actually are, the XCS in the title stands for Rocky's own Extreme Comfort System! The upper part of the boot is crafted with premium waterproof leather and displays nylon inserts in the quarter, shaft, and tongue. The inserts have the famous MOBU (Mossy Oak Break-Up®) camo print, which provides the #7419 boots with a very distinctive look. The tongue assists in blocking dirt and debris from getting into the boot, which is good because it will keep you from getting an aggravating rock in your boot while you are spending time outdoors. There's also a full, foam padded collar for your comfort.
The boots are lined with GORE-TEX® linings, which is good news for your feet because it allows for these Rocky boots to be durably waterproof and extremely breathable. This means that external moisture - rain, snow, or even puddles- will come into contact with your boots. Another great feature of the Rocky DeerStalker XCS boots that your feet will be incredibly grateful for is the 800 grams of Thinsulate Ultra insulation. The rest of your body might get cold, but this feature will make sure that your feet remain nice and toasty.
The polyurethane midsole gives you maximum cushioning that won't break down, while the DeerStalker lightweight all-rubber outsole assures that you receive long-term traction no matter where you end up outdoors.
If you are looking for a 8" outdoor boot that is designed to be lightweight, flexible and has the capability of keeping our feet both dry and comfortable, then the #7419 is the right choice for you!
- 800 grams 3M™ Thinsulate™ Ultra Insulation
- Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® construction
- Full-grain leather and CORDURA nylon

Police have identified two brothers found dead at their southeast Kansas home, but it's still not known how they died.
The Butler County Times Gazette reports the two were identified Monday as 53-year-old Jeffrey Neal Jones and 50-year-old Brett Alan Jones.
The brothers shared a home in Augusta, where police responded to a call Friday afternoon about a man who collapsed outside the house. Police Chief Tyler Brewer says officers realized that man was deceased, then went inside and found the other man dead.
Brewer says the deaths were not suspicious. The bodies were taken to the Wichita Forensics Center to determine the cause of death. The investigation continued Monday.
A joint graveside service is scheduled Thursday afternoon at Augusta's Elmwood Cemetery.
