Complying Presentation
Complying Presentation
Understanding a complying presentation under a letter of credit.
Malik from Pakistan is asking a question regarding the responsibilities of the banks against presentations of documents. Below you can find his question.
Dear Sir,
I request you to please answer the following questions for my better understanding, and also please give example if possible. In how many days Import L/C opening bank should send the payment or discrepancies to beneficiary of Sight L/C. Some persons saying 3 days and some saying 5 days, which one is correct under UCP 600.
Dear Malik,
A nominated bank, a confirming bank and the issuing bank must determine whether presentation is complying or not maximum five banking days following the day of presentation. This is governed under UCP 600 article 14-b as follows: "A nominated bank acting on its nomination, a confirming bank, if any, and the issuing bank shall
have a maximum of five banking days following the day of presentation to determine if a presentation is complying."
There are two options available for the banks after they receive a presantation:
Option 1 : Determining a non-complying presentation
Option 2 : Determining a complying presentation
Non-Complying Presentation :
If issuing bank determines that the presentation is not complying then issuing bank may refuse to honor. The issuing bank decides to refuse to honor, it must give a single notice to that effect to the presenter, in other terms to the beneficiary. Once the issuing bank sends its
single notice
to the beneficiary a maximum of five banking days following the day of presentation then its responsibility will be ended to the beneficiary under a non complying presentation in terms of UCP 600 rules.
Complying Presentation
If issuing bank determines that the presentation is complying then the issuing bank must honor. If credit is available by sight payment you should expect to receive your funds within couple of days after the end of the 5 banking day period.

Crowd Cheers As Akshay Kumar And Saif Ali Khan Shake A Leg To Main Khiladi Tu Anari
Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar, who has made us laugh her lungs out with a number of his roles in Bollywood films, judges The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Recently, actor Saif Ali Khan had visited the sets of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge to shoot an episode, where the actors shared the stage and had a dance-a-thon!
Akshay and Saif have done several films together such as Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Tu Chor Main Sipahi, Tashan, Yeh Dillagi, to name a few. But the duo's performance on Main Khiladi Tu Anari was certainly a treat for the audience. In a statement to DNA, a source from the sets, said, "When the two met, there was a lot of cheer from the audience. The two then took the crowd by surprise by shaking a leg to their hit track, Main Khiladi Tu Anari."
Akshay and Saif bonded a lot on the sets of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. Post their amazing performance, Akshay said, "I hope you guys liked this. But I have to say that really miss Chinni Prakashji (choreographer) today. Today had he been here, this performance would've been so much better. The two were seen bonding a lot and also pulling host Elli Avram's leg."
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge has returned to television after nine years. Recently, on the first episode, the comedy show had witnessed great one-liners and a hilarious act of comedian Raju Srivastava, who had appeared as a guest artist. The Great Indian Laughter Challenge is judged by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar (the super judge) and mentored by comedians internet sensation Mallika Dua, Hussain Dalal and stand-up comedian Zakir Khan.

Freaky Ali: Movie Review and Ratings – This week's another release 'Freaky Ali' starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui is in the comic terms and is sure to touch your funny bones which is based on Happy Gilmore by Tim Herlihy.
The Story
As mentioned, the story is based on Happy Gilmore by Tim Herlihy where the protagonist is a Ice hockey player. The story is based on the similar lines where Ali (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is an extortion debt collector for the local goon along with Maqsood (Arbaaz Khan). One day he goes to the golf course to collect extortion and has to wait for many hours for a man to give him the money. While on the course, the man tries to finish the hole but cannot. Ali claims the hole is easy, so the man asks him to show it. Ali puts the ball in just one swing as he is a gifted natural swing in Golf. This not only surprises the man, but also the acquaintance who is with him. While his talent is discovered, the golfing instructor convinces him to become a golf pro. He makes enemies in the process with the current Golf champ Jas Arora and the infatuation with the manager (Amy Jackson). What lands up is when a simple extortion debt collector becomes a golfing sensation, and along the way of him becoming a champion.

Overall Review
A more polished direction would have made the comedy work better. The romance between Ali and Amy Jackson's character is very forced. There are a few inconsistencies in the film which doesn't connect the audience. What works for the film are the dialogues and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The humour in the dialogues play to the gallery, some even going below the belt. The jokes on old men and speech defects may not appeal to everyone but Nawazuddin Siddiqui once again proves that there is no genre that is difficult for him.
Also this is Sohail Khan's first film where he directed without Salman Khan or himself in any role. We have seen serious roles by Nawazuddin, but here he is seen romancing with the mainstream heroine.
Ratings: 3 / 5 Stars
Director: Sohail Khan
Producer: Sohail Khan
Cast: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Arbaaz Khan, Amy Jackson, Jas Arora
Story based on: Happy Gilmore by Tim Herlihy
Cinematography: Mahesh Limaye
Music: Sajid- Wajid

Serious Sam 3: BFE (no, that does not stand for Best Friends Edition) stands as a testament to the old school of shooter, where levels were large and maze-like, enemy AI simply determined how fast they ran straight at you, keycards were still in vogue, and our heroes could carry twelve ridiculous weapons at once. As anachronistic as a game of this style is in 2011, it's a welcome one - a reminder that the past was really fun, but sometimes progress can be a good thing.
Once again, the game takes place in an abandoned Egypt, and Sam needs to, well, shoot everything that moves, activate two alien artifacts, kill the Guardian of Time and save Earth. Along the way, Sam will crack wise with Duke Nukem-style one-liners, but unlike Duke's latest foray, they won't have you recoiling in horror each time. At worst you might groan at the cheesiness, but I had a good chuckle at a few of the better ones.
Curiously enough, the first couple levels of the game are poorly paced. When playing a Serious Sam title, one expects certain things, and picking off enemies in groups of two for the first 20-30 minutes is tedious. Luckily, by the end of the second level, things pick up, and you'll be murdering enemies by the thousands in no time. Each level is enormous, packed with secret areas, and are well-suited to the massive combat scenarios you'll encounter.
I'm not kidding when I say massive. The Sam games are notable for the sense of scale they present, and the same goes for the combat. By the time things get really rolling, your average combat setpiece will have thrown at you the following:Approximately 50-100 fodder soldiers with handguns, machine guns or shotguns About 50 spider-things who spit acid from afar 25-30 skeletal horses who charge you and hurl balls & chains at you Maybe 10-15 large melee enemies A wave of 5-10 bulls 20 bionic brains with legs who shoot lasers 5 bigger bionic brains who shoot rockets An assortment of other large enemies/demons who hurl fireballs or rockets at you.
Now keep in mind that this is EACH combat sequence, and most of the time you're fighting all of those enemies at the same time. It's exciting and you feel like a complete and utter badass when you manage to survive.
Warning: Sam is not a licensed Optometrist. He will not correct your glaucoma.
The weapons are familiar, but fun. You have your basic machine guns, shotguns and rocket launcher, but a few really stand out as fun. The minigun (that you never have to reload, natch) will make short work of enemy waves, the Devastator, which is basically a rocket/grenade launcher with a sniper scope, and of course Sam's Cannon. Yes, a cannon. It shoots cannonballs that are larger than Sam himself. A new addition are contextual melee attacks where you can do such things as rip an enemy's eye out/head off or even pull out their heart Mola Ram-style. (Kali-mah!)
I mentioned keycards in my opening paragraph, and SS3 will brutally remind you why games have moved on. While the huge levels are great combat arenas, there are two extended sequences in the game which require you to not only grab a keycard, but then use THAT keycard to find four seals hidden around the area to open a locked door. Like any good old-school game, there are no tooltips or hints to nudge you in the right direction, so unless you're some kind of savant (or playing in co-op), expect to spend some extra time hunting 'em down.
So the campaign is fun, albeit familiar. Let's talk co-op. Specifically, let's talk sixteen-player co-op. You heard that right. Serious Sam 3 supports 16-player drop-in/drop-out co-op either online or on a LAN across all of its game modes. Sixteen. In a shooter. Hell, it even supports 4-player splitscreen online on a PC using a mix of gamepads and mouse keyboard.
Sixteen players may seem like an awful lot, but Croteam has done a few things that keep things fun. Most importantly, all items are dropped for every player. There's no competition for armor, health or ammunition. With such large levels, getting separated is a real possibility, so each player's location & distance from you is helpfully displayed. The idea of having sixteen Serious Sams running through the world is kind of silly, so all of the multiplayer character models are available to use in co-op. Me? I was an old man in a gold sequined suit.
The campaign mode is easily one of the most chaotic experiences I've ever had in a game, but let's back out a bit. You have several options for co-operative play. There's Standard, which gives each player 3 lives per level before they must spectate. Classic allows everybody to respawn infinitely, and Coin-Op grants the entire team only 3 lives to share. Don't like any of these options? You can set up a custom game and control everything from whether enemies scale to the number of players, player respawn counters and even the grace period in which a player is invulnerable post-respawn. Oh, and infinite ammo.
The minigun is a great way to bring the house down at parties.
If you want to coordinate with your teammates and be challenged by the game, you definitely want to be playing on Standard of Coin-Op mode. But for my money, the real fun in the game is had when you play on Classic mode with fifteen other players. It's pure, unadulterated chaos. It's like playing DOOM with God mode turned on, and yes, it's mindless, but it's an absolute riot and has to be experienced to be believed. It's so much fun, that even though I needed to turn this review in, I replayed the entire campaign mode in one sitting prior to finishing this writeup.
Even though the combat in the campaign mode can feel a bit like survival modes in other games, Croteam has included a separate Survival mode with two maps, and it's about what you'd expect. I had some fun with it, but the real draw is the campaign.
Everything's not all wine and roses with the co-op, however. While the online play is mostly stable, I was never able to have a lag-free play session, which led to some frustrating deaths. Additionally, more than once I ran into bugs that made completion of a level impossible. Luckily, it's possible to restart a level via the in-game voting system.
Ultimately, Serious Sam 3 is a really fun shooter, but I can't help but feel Croteam could have mixed up the formula a bit. While the co-op is the star of the show, the singleplayer experience doesn't shine nearly as much solo and definitely suffers from a case of having done it all before.

In the Ultimate Fighting Championship, there are numerous fighters that have competed in other promotions and been champions elsewhere that have yet to find UFC gold. That is the story with UFC welterweight contender Jake Shields. Shields was the EliteXC welterweight champion when that promotion went under and was the Strikeforce middleweight champion before moving to the UFC and its stout welterweight division.
Since entering the UFC, Shields has done 1-2-1NC and in a middleweight bout with Ed Herman, got the victory, but later had it overturned after failing a drug test. Despite that hiccup, Shields has had a solid career. What are the biggest fights of his professional mixed martial arts career and what has been the outcome in those big fights?
EliteXC: Unfinished Business vs. Nick Thompson for EliteXC Welterweight Title
In this 2008 fight, Shields fought Thompson to determine who would crowned the first ever EliteXC welterweight champion. Coming into the fight, Thompson had won 12 in a row on the independent circuit and was the Bodog welterweight champion. Shields needed just 63 seconds to lock on a One Armed Guillotine Choke and claim the title.
Rumble on the Rock 9 vs. Carlos Condit
Long before either fighter made it to the UFC, they competed in the finals of the ROTR welterweight tournament. Today, Condit is one of the best welterweights in the world, but in 2006, was still an up and coming star. The fight went the full 15 minutes and Shields walked away the victor via unanimous decision.
EliteXC: Heat vs. Paul Daley for EliteXC Welterweight Title
In his first and only title defense in EliteXC, Shields defended the title against the London native. This 2008 fight was long before Daley made it to the UFC and became known as the guy who punched Josh Koscheck in the face after their fight. At this stage in his career, he was a raw talent that had difficulties putting together winning streaks. In this fight, Daley lasted until the second round with Shields before getting caught in a Straight Armbar.
Strikeforce: Nashville vs. Dan Henderson for Strikeforce Middleweight Title
In his first and only title defense in Strikeforce, Shields took on the MMA legend Dan "Hendo" Henderson. Shields was coming off his decisive victory to win the vacant title against Jason "Mayhem" Miller and was facing one of the most talented opponents in his career. Fighting in front of a raucous crowd in Nashville, Shields claimed the victory via unanimous decision.
UFC 121 vs. Martin Kampmann
After defeating Henderson, Shields ventured into the UFC for the first time in his career. Having competed in just about every major promotion in the United States, Shields was ready to take on the best in the UFC. In his first fight in the UFC, he dropped down to welterweight and took on Kampmann in a UFC welterweight title eliminator fight. This fight between Shields and the Dane went 15 minutes and was extremely close. At the end of 15 minutes, it was Shields that claimed the victory via split decision.
UFC 129 vs. Georges St-Pierre for UFC Welterweight Title
His win against Kampmann gave Shields the chance to compete for the welterweight title against GSP. At this stage in his career, Shields was 26-4-1 and was riding a 15 fight winning streak. He had proved he was the best welterweight fighter outside of GSP and wanted to take his title away. Unfortunately for him, he may have been the best fighter in the division outside of GSP, but the difference between GSP and everyone else is substantial. GSP easily won via unanimous decision.

From Stewie abducting the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, to Peter befriending Jesus Christ, to a time travelling incident to World War II, this season of Family Guy certainly could not be faulted for sheer variety. While there were a couple of genuine stinkers and missed opportunities, there was certainly enough good to give fans of the series something to cheer for.
While we've all been yearning for Stewie to one day snap out of desperate gayness and return to his world domination-seeking ways, he did turn out to be the center for some of the best moments of the season. Some standout moments include the kidnapping of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, marrying Lady Redbush (Lois) as King Stewart III, to beefing up unnaturally with the help of steroids. If something truly funny happened on Family Guy this season, Stewie was usually part of it – more so than any other character.
Brian, unfortunately was terribly misused this season. He's degenerated into nothing more than a soapbox for the political views of the writers, and it's been a bit too heavy handed as of late. He's also been quite a jackass lately – his conduct in "We Love You Conrad" was particularly loathsome. Brian's over-use as a political soapbox isn't the only tired element of the season – Meg's long running gag as the forgotten, and easily dismissed, "black sheep" of the family is also getting old; but enough about Meg. Brian was right in the center of one of the season's best episodes- the time travel period episode titled "Road to Germany".
"Road to Germany" was something special. From some spectacular animation, to some hilarious laughs with Stewie dressed up as Hitler, to the highly entertaining storyline, this episode set the bar to show what Family Guy is capable when it's firing on all cylinders.
There were other period/themed episodes this season that didn't fare as well. The finale, "Peter's Progress" was pretty bland, and most of the Stephen King novel centric "Three Kings" was pretty mediocre. Only the Shawshank Redemption moments really stood out.
There were some fantastic pop culture references this season. Peter's absolutely hilarious take on the infamous tirade by Christian Bale from the set of Terminator: Salvation and Cleveland's use of the "Boom Goes the Dynamite" catchphrase stand out as some of this season's best.
Other highlights from this season include Bonnie finally giving birth to a baby girl named Susie (who Stewie instantly falls in love with) as well as the musical proclamation that "Everything's Better With a Bag of Weed" from the episode titled "420".
There were a couple of absolutely terrible episodes this season with little to no redeeming qualities. Episodes like "Baby Not On Board" or "The Juice Is Loose" were horrible, and highlighted how bad this show can also be if the writers choose not to put in any effort. Thankfully, there weren't too many stinkers like these ones this season.
Taken as a whole, this turned out to be a very competent season for Family Guy. While there weren't too many classic episodes, most of the episodes were relatively entertaining and funny. "Road To Germany" stands out as the season's best, but there were more than a few laughs to be had throughout the season. The writers did take the time to come up with more story-driven episodes, and a few of them worked really well. It'll be interesting to see where things go in season 8 now that Cleveland's migrating to his own series.

Imagine how good this cake has to be if it managed to convert Tilli who wasn't really a dessert person and Ružmarin, who thought a dessert without chocolate is just not one worth making. We successfully avoided carrot cake at cake shops for quite a while, but when Tilli's dad introduced us to this little wonder, we were sold. Now Ružmarin asks for carrot cake for her birthdays, and Tilli for just about any occasion he can make up. To keep up the charm we try not to bake it too often and save it only for special ocassions. We have converted quite a few carrot cake skeptics into lovers and thought it was about time to share with the rest of the world too. It sounds weird, but when you take your first bite your mind will be blown.
As a welcome bonus, this cake is the easiest one you can possibly make. Once you get the carrots grated, it's just a matter of minutes before you get it in the oven. The batter will look quite unappealing at some point, but if you persist you shall be rewarded :) You can also skip making it a layer cake and serve it in one thick, moist, juicy layer, with the creamy, tangy frosting on top.
As a little extra, here are a couple of pictures from Zagreb at that time of the year when the autumn is falling into winter's grasp.

We smelled this one coming when a Washington resident called Wednesday wondering why she couldn't find anything on pressdemocrat.com about the illegal immigrant who started all the fires that have devastated this region.
The answer is simple, we told her. Because it's not true. But as we know in this era of fake news, to paraphrase an old Mark Twain saying, lies can orbit the globe several times before the truth even gets logged on.
The source of this story was none other than Breibart News, an alt-right website that has shown a willingness to go to any length — and depth — to profit from the misfortune of others by disseminating fake news to generate web traffic and sow discord. Breitbart reported on Tuesday that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency had been turned down by Sonoma County on a detainer request for an undocumented immigrant who was arrested "on suspicion of arson in Wine Country fires that have killed at least 40 residents." Info Wars repeated the news, and now, in the minds of their followers, it has become fact.
"It shows how the supervisors and sheriff who ignored helping ICE can lead to personal disaster to thousands of people," Robert Casper of San Rafael wrote in a letter to The Press Democrat. "Will you apologize to those that lost their homes?
To make matters all the more ludicrous, Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of ICE, gave credibility to this nonsense by issuing a statement castigating Sonoma County's handling of the man's arrests. He said it left the community "vulnerable to dangerous individuals and preventable crimes," he said.
Sonoma County Sheriff Rob Giordano, who had tried to squelch this bogus story earlier in the week, was right to fire back, saying that Homan's statement was "inaccurate, inflammatory and damages the relationship we have with our community." Yes, sheriff's deputies arrested a homeless individual, identified as Jesus Fabian Gonzalez, in Maxwell Farms Regional Park in Sonoma on Sunday on suspicion of starting a fire, one he said he started to keep warm. But the fire was put out quickly. Moreover, the fires that swept through this region started a full week before this arrest. As Giordano noted on Thursday, "There is no indication that Gonzalez had anything to do with these fires, and it appears highly unlikely."
Making matters worse, the ICE chief gave the impression in his statement that Gonzalez has been released, leaving the community "vulnerable." But Gonzalez remains in custody on $200,000 bail.
If Homan truly believes that Gonzalez is the threat that he contends, he should have no problem securing a federal warrant to have him held for ICE. The Sheriff's Office has said it would honor such holds. But our guess is Homan knows he's unlikely to find a judge to go along with it because anybody who takes time to investigate this case will see it for what it is. Hogwash.
The county has enough going on without having to deal with inflammatory stories that serve only to demonstrate that Breitbart is as phony as the news it promotes and Homan is simply unfit for office.

1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.
no not with both installed yes with only one
This could be your board or it's BIOS, check with Asus to see if their BIOS or the board's geometry supports multiple NIC's or not. They may not feel this was important since it is not a server board.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

High security at Lourdes to protect pilgrims from those whose religion Pope says is peaceful
[Or is it to protect pilgrims from the likes of those Alt-Rightists in Charlottesville?]
Pope Francis has declared: "Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence."
So why the high security at Lourdes? Send those extra police officers home. Ground that aerial team. End those traffic controls. Retract those bollards permanently. It's a religion of peace! What are Lourdes authorities so nervous about?
"Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:14)
"High security in Lourdes ahead of annual pilgrimage," The Local, August 14, 2017:
Worshippers can expect bag searches, traffic controls, and increased numbers of police officers on duty in the run-up to the Feast of the Assumption on August 15th, a key date in the Catholic calendar.
Lourdes is one of the world's most important sites for religious tourism, with the shrine marking the spot where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in a grotto to Bernadette Soubirous, a poor shepherd girl, in 1858….
Authorities stressed they had no knowledge of a particular threat to the site or the festival, but Béatrice Lagarde, the prefect of the Hautes-Pyrénees département, told local media that "there is no reason to downgrade the security system put in place last year".
"We are taking into account that the national threat remains at a high level," said Lagarde at a press conference outlining the measures.
Police presence has been reinforced, with an additional 300 police officers and soldiers deployed. That includes a team of 30 within the sanctuary itself, police dogs, and explosives specialists.
A further aerial team will also monitor the situation at the site from a police plane, as well as ensuring that bans on drones in the area were adhered to. A network of 30 cameras in the religious site and the city will allow further monitoring in real time.
The municipality has worked on traffic controls, aimed both at reducing congestion and crowding and guarding against possible attacks using a vehicle, such as the horrific truck attack on the Nice promenade in July 2016. The site will be pedestrianized thanks to a system of retractable bollards.
Just three of the 12 entrances to the sanctuary will be accessible, with anyone entering the site subject to bag searches. Additionally, authorities have banned processions outside the site from between midnight and 6am….

Microsoft cannot pay employees well
Lately, I have read about how Microsoft is unable (or unwilling) to actually pay it's employees well. The pay system is simple, it's not about preformance, it's about popularity. Unless everyone and their grandmothers know who you are, you're pretty much fired. Check the blog at minimsft.blogspot.com for links to news articles.

Travel Date: May 15, 2013
Last year, my wish to watch the famous Pahiyas Festival finally happened in an instant decision. No itinerary or preparation, we drove all the way to Lucban, Quezon with just a map and cameras.
The Pahiyas Festival is held every 15th of May, where the people of Lucban celebrate good harvest in honor of San Isidro de Labrador. At the town proper, the houses are creatively decorated with fruits, vegetables, rice stalks, and leaves to symbolize prosperity of their agriculture.
During the festival and procession, we walked all around the town center to watch the parade and see the houses boasting their designs. The parade includes carabaos decorated with vegetables and fruits, higantes, cowboys on their horses, and ladies dressed in indigenous materials designed by local designers. We got hungry from walking, so we ate pancit habhab, one of the most popular dishes of Lucban, served on banana leaf. There was no spoon and fork, so you'll have to eat it straight from banana leaf. We also tried their kiping, colourful leaf-shaped wafer made of ground rice.
Pahiyas Festival is truly one of a kind. And if ever you haven't experienced it yet, you better plan your trip on May to watch it, since it's an annual event.

Yay! Week 7 done. I ran with Laura's podcast for runs 1 and 2 but I decided to try my own music for run 3. The time certainly seemed to go a lot quicker. However I learnt a couple of lessons.
(1) it seems to be a mistake to change my running tempo to match each song.
(2) I got stitch at 12 minutes and then discovered I was singing along under my breath.
I did enjoy sailing past the winning post with Iggy Pop though. I'm going to be running back to Laura for w8r1 but will have a look at other people's running playlists.
Thanks for all your support,

The recommendations came in quickly when we asked our community about things to do in Cairns.
Visit the town of Kuranda was on the list. And to get there you suggested we go up the mountain on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, and then come back down on the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
You can do it the other way around, but the thinking behind this strategy was three-year-old Savannah would fall to sleep on the way down to the rocking of the old train.
Sounds good in theory, but she's a stubborn one our little girl. She didn't sleep a wink and probably a good thing for her as she would have missed half the fun and half the scenery.
The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway experience
The Skyrail was opened in August 1995, and at the time was the longest gondola cableway in the world.
There's quite the story behind its construction. Due to it operating above a World Heritage protected national park, there was no access to the forest by road to build the towers supporting the cableway.
Construction workers and engineers had to hike in and out each day wearing protective gear over their shoes so they did not damage such a divine environment. The material for the towers had to be dropped in piece by piece by helicopters! So you can rest assured that no part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforest was hurt in the process.
As a result, we now get to sit in a gondola and glide for 7.5km over the top of pristine rainforest for a deeper look at this fascinating part of the world.
The views out to Cairns and the lush rainforest of the Tableland Valley were impressive.
We were in the Diamond View Gondola (extra $15 adult, $7.50 child). If your nerves are up to it you have a glass bottom floor, and gorgeous views down to the varying vibrant shades of green of the canopy in varying vibrant shades of green.
When a space in the thick foliage opened up we could even peek way down the bottom layer ferns scrambling for the sunlight.
We of course, had to do the obligatory foot shot.
The Skyrail cableway experience takes about 1.5 hours one way, which includes two stop overs along the way.
Red Peak Station
At the first stop, the gondola descends into the rainforest canopy at Red Peak. There is a short boardwalk through the rainforest. Check for times for free ranger guided tours so you can learn a little more about the flora and fauna of the area.
I loved seeing the big kauri trees.
Barron Falls Station
Coming into Barron Falls Station you will get glimpses of Barron Falls Gorge. Hop off and spend time soaking up the views of Barron Falls.
Even though we visited at a time when the water level was not high, it was impressive to imagine what it must be like in full flow during the wet season.
There's a bit of history in the area left over from the hydro electric days. Walk along the path to check out the old flying fox used to transport people and goods across the gorge during the construction of power station.
There is a rainforest interpretation centre, which is good for the kids to learn a little more about why this is such a special and protected area. Be aware of any roaming cassowaries, which are frequently spotted in the area.
Djabugay Guided Aboriginal rainforest walk
The Djabugay tribe are the traditional owners of the rainforest area and the 40 minute guided tour gives a fascinating insight into their culture, their language, stories and how they lived with the land.
You'll be amazed at how much food is readily available in the rainforest and why we don't eat it.
Even more amazing is how they found ways to make the poisonous foods safe for eating. Not all though – don't eat the bright red berries in the wild in Australia. Bright red is the colour for poison!
You'll walk through the rainforest down to a small billabong and river.
We especially loved the sharing of a few dreamtime stories down by the waterhole – the one about the water fairies wowed the girls. I couldn't help but peek behind the fern trees to try and find them too.
I loved when our guide spoke about how so many of their beliefs and creation stories and similar to those around the world, proving that we all come from the one source. How else would we think and believe in the same way?
This is the truth my travel experiences have shown me and I loved this inherent wisdom of his people sharing the same.
Cost: $20 adults, $10 kids, $50 family
Kuranda Village
Kuranda is a quaint hinterland village, often referred to as the hippyville of the Atherton Tablelands. Although don't be expect the markets to be anything like Byron Bay or Bellingen.
There's not a lot to see and do although plenty of the people in our community raved about the Koala Gardens, Butterfly Sanctuary, and Birdworld. At this stage, we were getting a little wildlifed out. So we passed.
There are a few market areas, and again, due to being kinda marketed out, we weren't that overly enthusiastic about them.
But, I did find (or it chose me) the most divine mookite crystal from Western Australia. How could you not be drawn to the patterns and colours in this rock?
It came right in the midst of my complete awe and fascination with the Aboriginal way of life and wisdom so I just had to buy it. It's a sacred rock that was used by the aboriginal tribes in special ceremonies to connect with the Dreamtime and spirit world. I also read online that it helps reduce the signs of aging!
Vanity comes racing in! It sits by my bed every evening to work its magic!

We decided to walk back to Kuranda Railway station for our return trip home via the 3 km rainforest walk.
This was a beautiful board walk, my favourite part was the final stretch along the esplanade and river. There was the most divine afternoon light which was dappled amongst the melaleuca trees and along the river bank. We even saw a crocodile swimming on by (a freshie!) It was so serene.
Except it wasn't as our timing was off so we had to speed walk along here to get to the train. I was most disappointed as I could have chilled there with that energy for some time.
The Kuranda Scenic Railway experience
If you're into train journeys, great engineering feats and history then you'll love riding the Kuranda Scenic Railway as it winds down along the McDonald ranges heading back into Cairns.
I don't know much about engineering – nor am I interested – but I was pretty impressed.
This famous railway winds its way on a journey of approximately 1 hour 45 minutes between Cairns and Kuranda. Commentary explaining the history of the railway and the rainforest is given throughout the ride.
It was a pretty journey through the rainforest over bridges and through tunnels hand-made by North Queensland's pioneers over 100 years ago. We passed a couple of waterfalls tumbling into deep ravines, and stopped to see Barron Falls. I think the view from the Skyrail side was better.
Splurging for a gold class seat on the train (extra $48 per person) would be a great option if this was a high on your bucket list thing to do. It includes food and alcohol. Yep. good train journeys go well with a glass of shiraz.
The Facts
Transfers are $18 per person. Or you can purchase transfers there and back from your accommodation.

Here's former state Rep. Lenville Evans' announcement that he'll seek term-limited Sen. Bobby Glover's seat in 2010. Evans is a Democrat. Cabot Mayor Eddie Joe Williams has said he'll run as a Republican.
And our Garland County bureau reports from Hot Springs this senatorial news:
Republican Rep. Bill Sample announced this morning at the Hot Springs Convention Center that he will seek the Senate seat of Terry Smith who is term limited. He is expected to be unopposed in the Republican primary and then face the winner of the Gene Shelby and Rick Saunders battle in the Democratic primary. Saunders and Shelby are both term limited representatives.
Lenville Evans, a former State Representative, announced today his intention to seek the District 28 Senate seat as a Democrat. District 28, consisting of parts of Arkansas, Lonoke, Prairie and Pulaski counties, is currently represented by Senator Bobby Glover who cannot run for re-election due to term limits.
"I believe my 6 years as a member of the House of Representatives and as a former Mayor and City Council member gives me the insight and experience to serve in the Senate. I know how important it is to work on issues that deal with education because that is the best way to secure our children's future. I am also very interested in making sure our cities and counties receive equal funding. It is imperative we keep our towns and counties viable. I also believe we need to repair and upgrade our infrastructure because without good roads our economy will not improve."
Evans previously served 3 terms in the House for District 15 which consists of parts of Lonoke and Pulaski counties. While in the House he served on the Transportation, Agriculture and Economic Development and the Energy Committees. He also served as Chairman of the House Management Committee.
A rice and soybean farmer, Evans previously served in the Arkansas National Guard and is a Board Member of the Lonoke County Co-Op. He and his wife, the former Sandra Hudgens, have two children, Tammy and Bill. They are members of Lonoke Baptist Church.

Taco Cupcakes
These taco cupcakes combine all the elements of tacos but are so much easier to eat. These Superbowl snacks may be gone by kickoff!
Taco Cupcakes
This is a basic recipe, but feel free to customize it with your favorite taco toppings, seasonings and flavors.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Brown some ground beef with a small diced onion and discard any excess juices. Combine with your favorite taco seasonings. I made a blend of cayenne, chili, paprika. Add a pureed chipotle pepper and salt and mix well. If you are using store bought taco seasoning use 1 1/2 Tablespoon. For a vegetarian alternative, try mushrooms instead of beef.
- Finely dice a little red and yellow pepper – or any color combo you like.
- Spray a cupcake pan with nonstick spray and place a wonton wrapper into each cupcake slot. Don't do this until your other ingredients are ready because the wonton wrappers can dry out and become hard to work with.
- Spoon a few black beans into your wonton bowls and top with cheddar cheese.
- Slice a wonton wrapper in half and lay half of it over the black beans and cheese to create another wonton layer.
- Spoon on the ground beef and sprinkle on the diced peppers and cheddar cheese.
- Bake your taco cupcakes for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and everything is warmed through. Keep an eye on them so the wonton wrappers don't burn.
- Serve your taco cupcakes with toppings like guacamole, cheese, sour cream and salsa.

'Heterophobia' as hotel bans straights May 28, 2007Posted by C.A.R.D in Card, Discriminate, Discrimination, discrimination against lesbians, Equal Opportunity Act, Gay, Heterophobia, Heterophobic, heterosexual discrimination, Homosexual, homosexual hotel, hotel bans heterosexuals, straight, The Peel Hotel.

An Australian hotel popular with gay men has won the right to refuse entry to heterosexuals and lesbians, officials and the owner said Monday.
The Peel Hotel in Melbourne won an exemption from the Equal Opportunity Act to prevent insults and abuse directed toward gays in its bars and nightclubs, owner Tom McFeely told AFP.
"The hotel predominantly markets itself towards homosexual males, towards gay men and we want to protect the integrity of the venue as well as continue to make the men feel comfortable," McFeely said.
"When large numbers of heterosexuals or even lesbians are in the hotel that changes the atmosphere and many gay men can feel uncomfortable."
The landmark decision by a civil tribunal gives the establishment — which does not offer accommodation — the right to refuse entry to people considered a threat to the safety and comfort of its patrons.
Helen Szoke, the chief executive of the Victoria state government's Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, said the Peel Hotel's gay clientele had experienced harassment, hostility and violence.
"(They) also have felt as though they've been like a zoo exhibit with big groups of women on hens' parties coming to the club," she said.

Hoteliers chasing the pink tourist pound have joined criticism of a law outlawing discrimination against homosexuals.
The hotels, which cater for the thriving "exclusively gay" tourism market, say that they should be exempt from the Sexual Orientation Regulations as they will be forced to accept heterosexual guests.
Some say that a ban on "gay only" advertising could put them out of business.
There were also concerns that some heterosexual couples might be unhappy if they unwittingly booked into a gay hotel.
John Bellamy, who runs Hamilton Hall, in Bournemouth, described the new laws as "discrimination against gays". He said: "We are a unique venue and we only admit gay and bisexual men. Under this law, we would go out of business. This so-called anti-discrimination law is actually discriminatory as it discriminates against gays."
Another hotelier, Mark Hurst, co-owner of the exclusively gay Guyz hotel, in Blackpool, said that his gay clientele would feel uncomfortable mixing with straight customers.
The hotel had been catering for the gay market for the past 20 years, but only went "exclusive" last year because of customer demand.
He said: "It's not all good news at all. I don't welcome it one little bit. We intend to stay 'men only' exclusively for as long as we can.
"When we had a mixed environment, with gay, bi and heterosexual customers, people didn't behave as they naturally would.
Lawsuit Questions Gay Roommate Preference February 1, 2007Posted by C.A.R.D in Card, Discriminate, Discrimination, Gay, Gay Roommate Preference, Heterophobic, Heterophobic Discrimination, Heterosexual, Homosexual, homosexual Roommate Preference, Lawsuit.

Everyone knows finding a roommate is an exercise in futility-when it's not a real-live reality show, "Weirdoes of the World." In New York especially, where rents have reached, as the New York Times put it (in an article about the booming business in private detectives ratting out people renting under false premises), rents have reached "the exosphere," finding a roommate is a not-so-small cottage industry.
That's why a recent case in California's Ninth Circuit Court in Pasadena is raising eyebrows. The case brings up a host of issues about stating specific preferencing in roommate ads, not least of which is sexual orientation.
The suit alleges that advertising such preferences is, in fact, discriminatory and violates longstanding and sacrosanct federal Fair Housing statutes. The Fair Housing Council's of the San Fernando Valley and San Diego against Roommates.com filed the suit. Although it has yet to be decided, both housing groups have been looking at Craig's List ads as well.
They'll probably find plenty to buttress their argument. Craig's List's roommate ads have become notorious for the finicky and sometimes downright kinky specifications.
According to the Ninth Circuit lawsuit, if a straight woman were to advertise that she is seeking a gay male roommate, it could be seen as potentially discriminatory towards applicants who aren't gay males. For the record, Craig's List posts "stating a discriminatory housing post is illegal" at the top of its real estate pages.
On any given day in New York, however, a city that is universally acknowledged to be bursting at the seams, thousands of people are looking for a place to live. For those without the means to afford their own space-and in New York's hyperinflated real estate market-that includes many, many more souls than anywhere else in the United States-finding a roommate with an apartment and lease is often their only hope.
Bigotry Against Christians Now Entertainment for NBC and CBS January 12, 2007Posted by C.A.R.D in Christian, Christians, Citizens Against Racism and Discrimination, Discriminate, Discrimination, Homosexual, Jesus.

World Net Daily is reporting two stories that show that bigotry against Christians on television is becoming almost common place. The first involves the show "Late Night With Conan O'Brien":
NBC has plummeted to the level of CBS, with a late-night skit that blatantly mocks Christianity by portraying Jesus as a homosexual voyeur, a stunt that would have been instantly condemned nationwide if it had focused on any subject other than Christianity, according to a pro-life leader.
"The NBC and CBS television networks may be rival corporations, but they have one thing in common," he said. "Both networks have allowed programming that blatantly mocks Christianity."
He told WND in an interview that the fact that such ridicule is allowed in the U.S. reflects more on Christians than on non-Christians.
"We've been put in the back of society's bus. The bad thing is we're willing to do it. If we responded like blacks, Jews, you name the different groups, homosexuals… If we responded like they do, only in love, this kind of thing wouldn't happen. It wouldn't be tolerated here," he said.
In the latest episode, O'Brien introduces the skit: "Our last new character's heart is in the right place, even if he's a complete idiot. Please welcome … the homophobic country western singer."
Then a middle-aged man wearing western clothes comes out from behind a curtain and starts to play a guitar and sing:
Oh I love you Jesus
But only as a friend.
You touched my heart but I hope
That's where the touchin' ends.
You're always lookin' over me
When I need a higher power.
But you better look at somethin' else
When I'm in the shower.
"The idea that anyone would think about the Son of God in this way is simply appalling," Scott said. "The inferences that permeate the song are utterly disgusting."
Scott said he's written to Kevin Reilly, president of NBC Entertainment, objecting to the airing of this material.
"I notice the song was not about a Rabbi. I notice the song was not about Buddha. I notice the song was not about Muhammad. If it had been about any of these, the network would surely have disallowed the airing of such garbage," Scott said in the letter. "But since the song was about Jesus Christ, nothing was done."
The other case involves the show "Two and a Half Men":

LOS ANGELES — A heterosexual former Los Angeles police officer is suing the department, alleging she was fired after complaining about alleged discrimination by her gay supervisors, according to court papers obtained Monday. Cindy S. Perez, who alleges wrongful termination, sexual orientation discrimination and retaliation, is asking for unspecified general and punitive damages. Lt. Paul Vernon, an LAPD spokesman, declined to comment on the lawsuit filed last Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
"Being that this is a court case is in litigation, there is nothing I can really say about it," Vernon said.
Perez, 38, of Buena Park, was hired by the LAPD as an officer in July 1994 and was assigned to the Pacific Division in 2000, according to her court papers."(Perez) was aware that LAPD's Pacific Division was and had been a lesbian-friendly environment and had treated non-lesbian females … differently," her lawsuit states.Heterosexual female officers at the division were targeted for harassment and negative employment actions and were not given the same opportunities as lesbians, she alleges.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil: Brazil's lower house of Congress has passed a bill making discrimination against homosexuals a crime punishable by at least a year in jail, the bill's sponsor said Friday.
The bill, passed Thursday, makes discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation a crime equal to discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender and national origin — which have carried prison sentences since 1989, said Congresswoman Iara Bernardi.
The bill now goes before the Senate, which has not yet set a date to vote.
Betto de Jesus, director of the Sao Paulo-based Brazilian Association of Gays, Lesbians and Transgendered People, said the law would give homosexuals federal protection for the first time.
"We always wanted to have homophobia be considered a crime equal to racism," he said.

Will Hollywood and the news media repudiate Will Ferrell's ridicule
of Southern white Christian males as well as Mel Gibson's Anti-Semitic comments?
Don't hold your breath!
By Dr. Ted Baehr with Dr. Tom Snyder
This week, in the wake of the media storm over Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic comments during a drunk-driving arrest, one of the six major Hollywood studios will release a comedy starring self-described lefty Will Ferrell, called TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY. A satire of the NASCAR racing scene, the movie is a racist, bigoted work that ridicules the Bible Belt, Southern white men, Christianity, Jesus Christ, the family, and American masculinity.

For forty years, the United States has lived with a variety of government programs applying preferential treatment based on race or gender or both. These programs have generally been limited to education and public contracting.
Recently, in a 2-1 decision, a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision which may provide a foundation for applying preferential treatment to freedom of speech. If allowed to stand, the decision could authorize local governments to set varying limits to free expression, depending on the race, religion, or sexual orientation of the listener.

– It's okay for guest houses catering to a homosexual clientele to discriminate against heterosexual couples, women, and lesbians, the Commission on Gender Equality ruled recently, saying it is a "necessity in our democratic society."
The Human Rights Commission received an official complaint against two Amsterdam guest houses over a year ago, stating that the resorts were billed as "men only." The Gay and Lesbian Alliance initiated the action after claiming to receive 107 complaints of discrimination from women, lesbians and heterosexual couples who had been turned away, Pretoria News reported yesterday.

Flyers offering cash rewards for the killings of homosexuals participating in the upcoming World Pride Jerusalem Parade have been distributed in the city.
The flyers, which promise nearly $5,000 to "anyone who causes the death of one of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah," were found in mailboxes in several Jerusalem neighborhoods, including the ultra-orthodox Mea Shearim area, the Jerusalem Post reported Tuesday.
Ynetnews.com reported the flyers, distributed by a group called the "Red Hand for Redemption," decried the march, scheduled for Aug. 10, saying: "During this parade, 300,000 corrupt animals are anticipated to march through the holy city of Jerusalem, waiting avidly for the chance to put themselves on display before our children and our sacred Torah. They will try as hard as they can to defile as many of our innocent children as they can," Ynetnews.com reported.
The Jerusalem Post said there have been several unconfirmed anonymous reports that the event's organizers were considering moving it to Tel Aviv

Previously in Laser Cutter with iPad and Raspberry Pi we used laser cutter using Raspberry Pi. However, it turned out that starting GUI on Raspberry Pi and opening a browser at the same time is too heavy to carry out a regular operation.
This time, finally we got the "Raspberry Pi 2 Model B", so we tried to use our product, Smart Laser Mini (laser cutter) using the "Raspberry Pi 2 Model B."
Since Raspberry Pi 2 is very small, we attached an acrylic plate next to the control board of the "Smart Laser Mini".
It is look good and fitting well when viewed from the front.
If you placed about 7 inches monitor it should not be taking a lot of space, but because there was only 23 inches monitor that supports HDMI so it is taking more space as in the picture.
The "Raspberry Pi 2 Model B" was much faster than we expected.
When browser, it was not fast like a Intel computer, but if you are using it to operate the laser cutter, it is just good enough. Also you can buy it for about $40. It should be a good investment since it seems to be useful in many situations.
