Newspapers won't be saved by Google
Google announced today that it is phasing out PrintAds, with all operations discontinued by March 31. Its CEO's promise last June to help save newspapers apparently was only valid for one year or the next bad quarterly earnings report, whichever came first.
The move has been interpreted as a cost-cutting move, but in many ways the upside was more important for the newspapers than it ever was for Google. In fact, with PrintAds gone, Google will continue to help destroy the once-omnipotent local media monopolies, by commoditizing them. Now, the newspapers have one less hope for survival and the bad news will keep on coming. (PaidContent notes that the competing Yahoo Newspaper Consortium will continue).
Tuesday also included ominous news from America's premier newspaper property, the New York Times Company. The parent of the NY Times announced it sold $250 million in convertible debt to the world's largest man, a politically-connected monopolist, who Time dubbed "an investigative reporter's dream":
Did the New York Times Company have any choice over who put money into the firm? Probably very little. The newspaper industry is viewed as a poor investment. Several newspaper chains are already in the process of liquidation, particularly Journal Register and Gatehouse. The third largest newspaper company, McClatchy (MNI) is in deep trouble. A number of the nation's largest dailies, including the Rocky Mountain News, are for sale and some will be closed if they do not find buyers.NYTco shareholders were apparently not thrilled at the prospective dilution (or perhaps the terms of the debt), pushing the "A" shares down 7.8% or $72m. (The family-owned class B shares aren't publicly traded.)
PaidContent notes that the alternatives — dumping distressed properties at depressed prices — were even worse. Of course, pouring money to keep the existing businesses alive assumes that current valuations are near the bottom of a notoriously cyclical industry, rather than a mere waypoint in an irreversible slide towards oblivion. Right now, the trendline clearly supports the latter interpretation.
By coincidence, on Seeking Alpha today Jeff Jarvis offered an imaginative (and relatively complete) list of alternative revenue models for newspapers.
Newspapers have known for years that they will have to make the transition from paper to an online-only business. The imperative is to use their existing revenue streams and (most importantly) supply of unique content to establish a new sustainable revenue model before the printed paper goes away. Otherwise, they will just be one voice in a more crowded, democratic and commoditized 21st century media market — and one with a demoralized workforce trapped by memories of 20th (or 19th) century industry paradigms.

Page 29 - TEARS, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy Autumn-fields, And thinking of the days that are no more.

Page 51 - I am much at a loss to conceive what part of my conduct could have given encouragement to an address which to me seems big with the greatest mischiefs that can befall my country. If I am not deceived in the knowledge of myself, you could not have found a person to whom your schemes are more disagreeable.
Page 18 - THE DAY IS DONE. THE day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight.

These are the words which have been often dolled upon and always used in the prayer for relief in every plaint. The essence, meaning and ambit of these four words enhance the discretionary power of the court to another level. They are often repeated but it is not often realized what sense of power these words provide. Before getting into its whole genesis we also have to understand from where it originated and what is the real meaning provided by it.
I do not know in what sense its should be taken but India has been a country which has proved to be one of the most flexible country in accepting new cultures and laws, be it Islamic Laws after the invasion by Arabs or English Laws during British period. This has been a very major reason in the development and acceptance of this principle across our legal system which is still prevalent. The word equity allows courts to use their discretion and award justice in accordance with natural law. In practice modern equity is sometimes limited by substantive and procedural rules, but this is not always the case. This principle mainly developed after two or three hundred years the origination of common laws and was developed to provide remedy in cases where damages where unsuitable remedy and fairness was needed to be introduced in the legal system. It basically started from England and slowly got its hold in all Commonwealth countries. Its basic meaning is eveness, fairness, justice and is used synonymously for natural justice. It is used as in contrast to strict rules of law. It can be said as in true sense of application of what seems natural just and right instead of application of strict rules leading to circumstances which may be unfair. This was introduced in India in the year 1781 in the presidency of Bengal which enabled the courts to use their discretion power above the rule of Hindu or Mohammedan Law so as to provide fair justice as demanded by the situation. Later this was not predicted that it would lead to confusion and chaos in legal system that time because every judge used the discretionary power every time up to his standards and thinking.
Varden Seth Ram v. Luckpathy: In this case the Privy Council pointed out that the company's court didn't have any prescribed law to which their decisions was to confirm so they were directed to follow the basis of justice and good conscience.
Sheo Ratan Singh v. Karan Singh where even the English Laws were not followed as it was held to be against doctrine of justice and good conscience.
Secretary of State v. Rukminibai: It was held that any Indian Court which seeks to apply common law should know its extent keeping in mind the extent of justice, equity and good conscience.
One of the other important judgments in this respect can be Menka Gandhi v. Union of India where principle of natural justice was recognized and applied and also in the case of TVS Finance and Service Ltd. v. H. Shiva Kumar where the judgment was also based on natural justice.
The main essence which can be drawn form this is that no person is left without justice. Justice is the end which is desired hence should be delivered by sometimes more than what law prescribes so that there is no one who feels oppressed with the feel of justice being undelivered. This says it all: If law is the means then justice is the end. There are some interesting views of Justice Iyer on this respect: Natural justice is virtue of virtues and not merely a sense of righteousness or wrong. It has being in existence since humanity came about in existence and are supposed to remain in existence until humanity derives its existence because they enthrall their existence not from pen and paper but from humanity psyche in its purest form. Lord Atkinson once said in this respect: Might is Right. Law is might, justice id right but justice which is natural is mightier than might.
Justice Iyer is a champion in this respect by implanting his views in his judgments too and the case of BANGALORE WATER SUPPLY & SEWAGE BOARD ETC. v. RAJAPPA & OTHERS is one such example where he said to protect the oppressed from being oppressed is what law is all about, this is what natural justice calls for and thus gave a new definition for the word 'industry'. Even if provision in form of law is to be checked then Section 151 of Civil Procedure Code is an example in this respect.
The main point that is to be noticed is that this principle was not based on any exact law hence lead to lot of judgments opposed and contradictory to each other. The often use of words "public policy", "good faith", "fairness" etc. in this respect itself express the whole meaning but some good judgments have been delivered in this respect too. The main conclusion which we can take from this respect is that no doubt these principles do help in controlling atrocities and injustice in various aspects where law is not codified properly, or be it in a just way, but it should also be seen that it enables the judges and gives them that extra power in addition to what they already have to decide the fate of parties which can sometimes be dangerous or biased. Therefore it is up to us for which side of coin we want to see or which shade in this respect we want to ignore.

Fitness tests for Cheetahs stars
Two of the Cheetahs' key players face late fitness tests ahead of the team's decisive Super Rugby encounter with the Blues in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The Cheetahs, who have a bye in the final round of league action next week, must beat the Blues to guarantee themselves a first-ever appearance in the Super Rugby play-offs.
Fullback Hennie Daniller, a late withdrawal from last week's disappointing loss to the Stormers, and Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen, who took a blow to the leg just above the knee in the match at Newlands, will both face fitness tests on Friday.
Coach Naka Drotské named a team that shows two changes from that which started in Cape Town last week.
Daniller has been named at fullback, after missing the game against the Stormers with a knee injury that flared up at the captain's run.
If Daniller passes his fitness test, then Willie le Roux will start on the wing – where he was originally named, before shifting to fullback in the late switch. Rayno Benjamin is on standby to slot in on the wing again.
Sarel Pretorius played on the wing in last week's late change, but Benjamin will get the start this week, with Pretorius staying on the bench.
Oosthuizen, who took a heavy blow to the leg just above the knee, have not been able to train this week, but has also been named in the starting XV and will be given a run on Friday to test his leg.
Trevor Nyakane, who is on the bench, will start in Oosthuizen's place if he fails a fitness test and Caylib Oosthuizen is on standby to take a spot on the bench.
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Riaan Smit, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Rynhardt Landman, 4 Lodewyk de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (captain), 1 Coenraad Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Petrus Vermeulen, 19 Johannes Prinsloo, 20 Sarel Pretorius, 21 Elgar Watts, 22 Rayno Benjamin.
Date: Saturday, July 6
Venue: Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein

Young Samuel Earle of Bexhill died in 1648 not long after his father.In 1649 John Earle the immigrant left for Virginia.On 27 Nov. 1652, John Earle was named in a Chancery Bill (Office of Public Records, Somerset House, London) with his aunt, Mrs. Joane Earle Smith Morse of Nye, Winscombe, Somersetshire, as guardian of six minor children: Edward, Elizabeth, Thomas, Joseph, James and Mary Earle.Mrs. Morse was named c0-guardian because John Earle was in Virginia.This record was investigated by Burke, the eminent English genealogist, who accepted Nye as the home of John Earle of Virginia and so listed it in "Prominent Families of the United States of America", stating that the Earles of South Carolina are entitled to use the arms of the Earle family of the west of England (Somerset and Dorset)."

Texas Children's Hospital hosts conference on rare birth defect
The Texas Children's Hospital in Houston recently hosted the Symposium on Congenital Coronary Anomalies.
According to a release from the Texas Children's Hospital, "A rare birth defect in the heart associated with sudden death in young athletes was the subject of a first-of-its kind conference held at the Texas Medical Center on Dec. 5-6. Hosted by the Texas Children's Hospital, the conference addressed a condition known as 'anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery,' or AAOCA. AAOCA occurs when a coronary artery arises from the wrong location on the main blood vessel, the aorta. Children and young adults with this condition can die suddenly, especially during or just after exercise. During the conference, doctors discussed the most appropriate imaging and surgical techniques, identification of risk factors, various management strategies based on available evidence and how to best counsel patients and families about treatment and exercise."
The announcement was made Dec. 12.
The Texas Children's Hospital is at 6621 Fannin St.

So last year I did this thing called "The Twelve Essential Tracks of Christmas," and people seemed to like it, so I thought I'd add a few more every year. I can't guarantee there won't be fewer than or more than twelve more, hence the open-ended title. Anyway, these are more tunes without which my Christmas still really isn't complete. They were brutally cut out of the final edit for The Twelve. So, consider this the expanded edition.
This installment might be considered cheating, because it's a threefer. From Amy Grant's first Christmas album (simply titled A Christmas Album), these three songs are strung together in a continuous sequence: Michael W. Smith's hit "Emmanuel," a different take on "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and a joint collab between him and Amy on a modern "Christmas Hymn." The editing is so seamless, and all three so good, that I thought, heck, why not just find the gapless version on Youtube, feature that and call it a day? My personal favorite is "Christmas Hymn." It's an underrated, beautifully written classic not unlike something the Gettys might craft today.
A note on "Emmanuel": Every single year we pull this one out, my family and I can't help noticing its rather embarrassing (awesome? embarrassingly awesome?) similarity to the soundtrack for Ladyhawke. We couldn't get through a workout to it yesterday without adding a running commentary of quotes from the movie. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, neither you nor your parents grew up in the 80s. Or if you did, this essential piece of 80s pop culture somehow flew (*cough*) under your radar. Here, let me fix that for you…
Have some more 80s kitsch lurking in the attic of your memory that you can't quite identify? Call now at 1-800-PLACETHATSYNTH. That's 1-800-PLACETHATSYNTH. Our operators solemnly swear to spin nothing but Mannheim Steamroller for your Muzak-listening pleasure while on coffee break.

Mayers, Oduya agree to new deals with Hawks
The Blackhawks on Tuesday announced two contract extensions and one note of organizational disappointment.
Defenseman Johnny Oduya received a three-year extension and forward Jamal Mayers was re-upped for another year, but it was the party pictures of Patrick Kane from his well-publicized sojourn to Madison that were front and center in a conference call featuring Hawks general manager Stan Bowman.
"We discussed it with Patrick; we've handled that internally," Bowman said, addressing the issue publicly for the first time. "We're obviously disappointed with how it played out and Patrick is aware of that fact.
"At this point, it's a private matter. Out of respect for Patrick, we're not going to comment further. We're going to look forward."
Oduya, 30, paced Hawks defensemen with 3 assists in the playoffs and had 5 points and a plus-3 plus/minus rating in 18 regular-season games after being acquired on Feb. 27 from the Winnipeg Jets.
"We brought Johnny in to try to solidify things down the stretch here and I think he played a big role in the turnaround of our team," Bowman said. "It was pretty evident that his style of hockey complemented our style."
Oduya's deal is rumored to be worth just upwards of $3 million per season.
"I knew I wanted to come back," Oduya said. "I felt that Chicago was a good place for me and I'm really happy about this chance."
The return of Mayers, 37, is a slight surprise considering that after playing the first three playoff games against Phoenix, he was on the sidelines spectating as the Hawks were eliminated by the Coyotes.
Mayers had 6 goals, 9 assists and a team-high 91 penalty minutes in 81 regular-season games.
"You look at the whole season and try not to look at the way things ended," said Mayers, whose deal is rumored to be in the $650,000-range. "I thought I still had a lot to give."
More signings:
The Hawks also announced three-year deals for four of their prospects: goaltenders Mac Carruth and Kent Simpson, forward Joakim Nordstrom and defenseman Klas Dahlbeck.

Effective Landing Pages: Get Out of Your Own Way and Convert
If you build it (and optimize it), they will come. But what good is that if they turn around and leave? It's not enough to have a well-optimized page, you need to have a page that is compelling and converts. We've all clicked through to websites that rank well, but once you get there you have an instant, visceral reaction that you want to leave. Ugly. Dated. Unprofessional. Untrustworthy. Confusing. If you aren't paying enough attention to how well your website manages the visitors you get, you are turning away business that is on your doorstep. Search engines are not clients, are not customers. So how can you effectively influence the people who are once they've found you? Here are some tips to help ensure that your website's landing pages are effective, not just existent.
Step One: Actually Have Targeted Landing Pages
Sounds obvious, right? But too often companies rely on their home page or other general information page to do all the heavy lifting. These pages are important, and it's tempting to funnel all your SEM eggs into a couple baskets, but having landing pages targeted toward a given service, market segment or promotion can be far more effective than a catch-all page. Target the page to the message, and if there are multiple pages to go through make sure the user's path is compelling and clear. The fewer steps you put between the user and the information you want them to see, the more you'll minimize bounce rates.
Decision-Making Methods
People make decisions based on a wide array of factors, and those factors can vary quite a bit. One site visitor may be looking for hard data to back up your claims. Another may look for cues establishing credibility and social adoption. When putting together an effective landing page, it's important to consider and address the different ways people make their decisions.
This concept of how people think and decide has been broken out many different ways (for example, the famous Myers-Briggs personality types or a nice analysis by Forty's James Archer). But for creating persuasive landing pages it's helpful to think of two sets of criteria:
Rational vs. Emotional
Rational decision making revolves around practical concerns: what is demonstrable, verifiable, logical. They aren't enchanted by brand loyalty, they just want the brass tacks about features and functionality and make their decision accordingly.
Emotional decision makers on the other hand rely more on intuitive cues. How do they feel about your company? What do other people say about your services or products?
An effective landing needs to address both these mindsets. Here is an example taken from the home page of 37signals.com.
The clean, well-organized page addresses both decision making processes. The areas in highlighted in red show the emotional triggers – attractive visuals, establishing the large community, showing videos of real users. At the same time, an appeal to the rational is made with use data, pricing, and specific credible companies who have signed on.
Systematic vs. Impulsive
Systematic decision makers are slow and methodical in their process. This may be to take time to parse facts and compare features (rational) or to research ratings and develop a trust level with your company (emotional).
Likewise, impulsive decision makers are quick to judge. They have their criteria and are looking to have it reinforced or they're moving on. They'll look for main points and calls to action that address their needs, whether it be that you're credible and more effective (rational) or easy-to-use and low-risk (emotional).
Let's look again at the 37 Signals home page:
We see how the same content works on the systematic as compared to the impulsive. The systematic decider has links to plan details, they can take time to parse data, watch videos or peruse testimonials. For the impulsive, there are the quick points highlighted: Millions of people! Brands you recognize! Cheap, easy, low-risk, now!
By including these various approaches in a clean, easy-to-skim design, they have ensured that whatever their visitor's decision style, there will be compelling content there to speak to it.
Keep It Simple, Stupid
Many a landing page has been undermined by trying to be everything to everyone. Too much clutter, too many options, and text as long as a Tolstoy novel. Avoid the pitfalls of excess with a less is more attitude:
- Have a clear call to action. When you squint your eyes at a web page, the call to action should still stand out. If it blends or competes with the other design elements it probably isn't being identified strongly enough. Whether it's filling out a form or finalizing a purchase, you don't want there to be any doubt for the user about what the next step is.
- Keep content brief as possible and well-organized. Readers skim. Use as few words as it takes to get them where you want them to go.
- Show, don't tell. A picture is worth 1000 words. However you want to phrase it, visual indicators trump the best-phrased copy every time.
- Avoid distractions. Know what you want your page to do. When the user is on the checkout page of your online store, you don't want them signing up for your blog. When they're on your contact page, you don't want them wandering off to follow you on Twitter. For squeeze pages where you're trying to convince a user to share their contact information on the spot, that might mean even removing navigation and links to the rest of your site. Different pages have different goals, so tailor the content to suit those goals, and remove the shiny objects that might distract users from converting.
There's a lot that goes into creating landing pages that perform well, but starting with these fundamentals will put you on the path to conversion instead of confusion.

Great article, David! Less is more is absolutely the way to go. Basecamp is a great example of that. We've found that in all things relating to landing pages you have to test. Continual and statistically valid improvements are one of the top contributors to effective landing pages.
David Gould Sep 28, 2011
Thanks Chelsea! "Continual and statistically valid improvements" is an excellent point as well — improving pages in an ongoing process, based on data from analytics and optimization testing.

1. Don't Ask Why
Consider dropping the word why from your vocabulary. Though it's tempting to ask someone with dementia questions such as, "Why did you do that?" or "Why don't you like your soup today? You liked it yesterday," he or she really has no idea what's causing particular behaviors. The disease has likely stolen the ability to reason or evaluate.
Why it backfires: You risk causing unnecessary anxiety by making your loved one feel like he or she is being "tested" -- and is failing.
2. Don't Shout
Some people have a natural tendency to raise their voices around the elderly. The trouble is, Alzheimer's and other dementias may affect many parts of the body, but the ears aren't among them.
Why it backfires: Raising your voice can startle someone who didn't pick up on other cues you were coming. Or it can be perceived as threatening and angry, even when you're just asking, "Do you want some coffee?"
3. Don't Answer the Same Question Over and Over
You can feel like you're aboard the merry-go-round if someone with dementia gets on a jag of asking, "What's your name?" "Where are you from?" "What time is it?" You want to be polite, but you can't be driven crazy, either.
Why it backfires: It's much more stimulating for your loved one if you shift to fresh topics. Try saying something likely to get a response, such as, "You must miss your childhood in Canada" (old memories last a long time) or "Tell me about your knitting" (an immediate interest).

It is believed that the boy, who had been staying at his mother's, took the car for a drive after deciding he wanted to go to his father's house.
Officers began looking for a red Pontiac Sunfire on Monday morning, after a member of the public called the police about seeing a young driver behind the wheel.
The boy's mother was unaware her son and car were missing as she was working a night shift.
Chief of Caseville Police Jamie Learman said he feared the boy would crash as the car veered to the right on a rural road and fishtailed.
Learman eventually sped ahead and tried to box-in the Sunfire with the help of a Huron County sheriff's deputy who was behind in another vehicle.
The boy was eventually pulled over by the police and no one was hurt in the incident.

In the first part of this series on sacred music, I described the meaning of sacred music, the music of the Church's sacred liturgy, as distinct from "religious music." In this second installment, I shall explore, from a historical perspective, the Church's role in guiding and promoting authentic sacred music for more fruitful participation in the Sacred Mysteries by the clergy and lay faithful alike.
The Second Vatican Council proclaimed that "the musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 112). This led the Council fathers to decree that "the treasure of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care" (ibid, 114).
Sacred music in Judaism before Christ
The dual task of preserving and fostering sacred music remains a crucial one for the Church today. But to understand what the Council is asking of us, we must not only know what sacred music is in general (as we explored in the previous installment in this series) but also how the Church has carried out this endeavor in history.
The Church inherited the Psalms of the Old Testament as her basic prayer and hymn book for worship. With these sacred texts she also adopted the mode of singing that had been established during the development of the psalms: a way of articulated singing with a strong reference to a text, with or without instrumental accompaniment, which German historian Martin Hengel has called "sprechgesung," "sung-speech."
This choice in Israel's history signaled a concrete decision for a specific way of singing, which was a rejection of the frenzied and intoxicating music of the neighboring and threatening pagan cults. This way of singing the Psalms, traditionally viewed as established by King David (cf. 2 Sam. 6:5), disrupted only by the Babylonian exile, remained in use at the coming of Christ. Sung with respect to and during sacrifice in the Temple in Jerusalem, the early Jewish Christians assumed this tradition into the sacrifice of the eucharistic liturgy.
Sacred music in the early Church
After Pentecost, the first centuries of the Church's life were marked by the encounter of what was a Jewish-Semitic reality with the Greek-Roman world. A dramatic struggle ensued between, on one hand, openness to new cultural forms and, on the other, what was irrevocably part of Christian faith.
For the first time, the Church had to preserve her sacred music, and then foster it. Although early Greek-style songs quickly became part of the Church's life (e.g., the prologue of John and the Philippians hymn, 2:5-11), this new music was so tightly linked to dangerous gnostic beliefs that the Church decided to prohibit its use. This temporary pruning of the Church's sacred music to the traditional form of the Psalms led to previously unimaginable creativity: Gregorian chant — for the first millennium — and then, gradually, polyphony and hymns arose.
In preserving the forms which embodied her true identity, the Church made it possible for wonderful growth to be fostered, such that centuries after that original restriction, the Second Vatican Council boldly proclaimed that her treasury of sacred music is of more value than any other of her artistic contributions.

6 Life Tips from Animals
Adam Verwymeren, Networx
Animals inspire us, entertain us and keep us company. But the animal kingdom also offers us plenty of tips and tricks on how to live smarter and more efficiently. Freed of human burdens, these creatures live a life far more natural than the ones we live. So let's tear a page from their books and take a few cues from the animal kingdom.
Go Vertical: A vibrant ecosystem of small animals gobbling up all the ground-level edibles creates an interesting problem: Scarcity down below while a bounty hangs in the tress up above. Giraffes have evolved an interesting solution to this problem: Go vertical. For dwellers of cramped apartments that always seem to be running out of space, take a little inspiration from the giraffe. Start using more vertical space to solve your scarcity problem. Stackable crates, shelves, hooks and pulleys are a great way to fit more stuff in less space. C'mon, you know you want to do a little DIY carpentry.
Love Your Kitchen: The mere sound of a can of tuna or bag of dog food being opened can send a pet sprinting to receive its meal. Pets understand the importance of the kitchen and mealtimes. Unfortunately for many of us, our pets have more structured and better eating habits than we do. Eating has become a mindless act to be done in the car, while walking down the street or sitting on the couch, rather than a moment to be cherished. So make your kitchen and your mealtimes special.
Be Satisfied With What You Have: Fans of the amazing Maru — the house cat that loves to nest in any box no matter the size — can take a lesson from this pet's playbook. You don't need to demand the best and nicest furniture to be comfortable. An old hand-me-down couch — the human equivalent of Maru's beloved cardboard boxes — can be better and more comfortable than some expensive stylish designer sofa. So learn to appreciate what you have.
Ditch the Clutter: Sure, cats love iPads and birds love shiny bits of foil, but for the most part, animals surround themselves only with the necessities. If you've filled your home with countless knickknacks and gadgets, maybe it's time to strip down to the essentials. By getting rid of the clutter, you can boost your efficiency and find some peace. (Read organizing tips from NYC-based Feng Shui expert and Networx writer Ann Bingley-Gallops).
Image via YouTube
Stock Your Pantry: So that they always know where the next meal is coming from, many animals like chipmunks and platypuses can store large amounts of food in their cheeks. Learn from their example and always keep a well-stocked panty in your home. Sure, you're not likely to perish in a snowy field or Tasmanian stream for want of a meal, but you never know when friends might drop by unexpectedly, or you develop a hankering for a sandwich.
Don't Fear a DIY Project: While they may not have mastered complex tools, animals are infinitely resourceful. Birds build their homes from grass, sticks, twine or whatever else they can find. Beavers construct complex dams with little more than a set of teeth. If these animals are capable of such feats of construction, surely you can hang a shelf or put together some Ikea furniture. So quit putting off those DIY projects and living in fear of the how-to guide. Pick up some tools and build something.

Britton Hill - Florida Highpoint is a 0.2 mile out and back trail located near Defuniak Springs, Florida and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and walking and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
wheelchair friendly
kid friendly
historic site
At 345 feet above sea level this is the lowest state highpoint in elevation. The state has done a nice job erecting a maintained highpoint pull-off for highpointers in the small town of Lakewood in Florida's western panhandle.
This really isn't a trail or a hike. It's a park celebrating the highest point in Florida, thus the reason for my visit. Loved checking another high point off the list (and the lowest of all 50 high points), but I don't think I'll be back.
A trip you have to make if you want to get all 50 high points :) and a nice little pit stop on the way to the beach!
There is a short 0.7 mile nature trail that loops around Florida's high point. No perceivable elevation change. Dense understory. Picnic shelters and a small wetland.
We had been to Ft. Walton Beach so we decided to stop here on the way home. Many signs on roads in the area point you to here. Reaching this high point is a matter of parking your car and walking 20 yds or so to the monument. However, word is to reach the actual Florida high point, you have to go on the trail in the woods to the SW of the picnic shelter.
Worth doing because it is a state high point even though their are buildings in Miami taller than this peak lol. But certainly nothing special. You drive right up to the highest peak, and then their are just a few short trails around the park that you could do to atleast say you hiked the highest peak. As expected, it is our least favorite high point hike yet. But I will say that Florida has done better then some other states and has a nice sign and monument talking about the peak.
This high point is basically overlooking a field. You cannot tell your even on the highest point but would make a nice stop for a meal or something like that.
Worth doing because it is a state high point. Not strenuous or long, you actually drive up to the parking lot, the high point is right there and they have a little 1.5 mi. nature walk around it.

Genovese Basil Bread
One thing that I have in abundance this time of year is basil. It's something I absolutely must plant, along with tomatoes, onions, swiss chard and my other herbs. For years, I've had this recipe for Genovese Basil Bread that I found on the King Arthur Flour website, but I just never got around to making it.
When I finally made it, it was declared absolutely yummy, so it's an instant favorite in our house.
This recipe is made in a similar fashion to french bread, so you'll roll out the dough with a rolling pin and then roll each piece up jelly-roll style.
The recipe makes four individual-sized loaves, so if you've got a hungry clan, you'll want to make several batches!
Genovese Basil Bread
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Cups Fresh Basil Leaves, coarsely chopped and lightly packed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 package dry yeast
1 cup very warm water (105-115 degres F)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a bit more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Heat oil in a heavy, large skillet (I love my cast iron skillets!) over low to medium heat. Add basil and garlic and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Dissolve the yeast in water in a small bowl. Let it stand for ten minutes.
Mound 2 1/2 cups of the flour onto your work surface or in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Add the dissolved yeast, basil mixture, salt and pepper to the well. Mix the ingredients that are in the well, and then incorporate the flour. Knead on a lightly floured surface until it's elastic, adding a bit more flour if it's sticky, for several minutes.
NOTE: You do NOT need to incorporate all 3.5 cups. Just add flour until it's only slightly sticky. This is a sticky dough, so don't try to add flour until it's smooth and firm or your bread will turn out rock-hard.
Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl, turning once to coat with oil, and then cover it to let it rise until it's doubled, about 45 minutes, depending on the warmth in the rising space.
Grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough. Knead it on a lightly floured surface until it's smooth, about three minutes. Cut the dough into four pieces and then roll one out on a lightly-floured surface to an 8 x 5 1/2″ rectangle. Roll it up jelly-roll style, starting at one long end. Transfer to the greased baking sheet, seam side down, then do the rest of the pieces the same way. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, until the pieces are doubled.
While they're rising, preheat your oven to 450 degrees farenheit. When the rolls have risen, slash the tops diagonally along the top about three times. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until they're golden in color and sound hollow when you tap on the bottom of a roll.
Serve warm with REAL butter!

Alfonso Soriano Might Be Blind
Chicago Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano is probably going to be out for the rest of the year following upcoming knee surgery. While he's out, he's apparently decided to get a full physical.
Up first: his eyes. Soriano thinks he may have a problem with his eyesight, and wants to have an extensive exam.
"Not like a normal test," said Soriano, who added that he can't tell a difference in his sight from other years but wonders if an imperceptible difference has contributed to the worst-hitting season of his career. "I had four or five people ask me about that."
Players have their eyes checked every spring as part of their team physicals. But the exams aren't extensive. CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.
The examination in spring is, apparently, a glance into the ocular cavity: yup, you have eyes. Next.

In the end, the Eagles did not lure an assistant away from a Super Bowl team or poach a coach from the college ranks in selecting their next defensive coordinator.
Instead, according to sources, new coach Chip Kelly hired former Browns linebackers coach Billy Davis on Thursday, the timing of which will be questioned.
The Eagles did not confirm Davis' hiring, as they have not for any of the additions Kelly has made to his staff over the last three weeks.
But when they finally hold a news conference to introduce the new faces, Kelly and general manager Howie Roseman will surely be asked: If Davis was their top choice, why wasn't he hired immediately?
Davis was available as soon as Browns coach Pat Shurmur - who will be the Eagles' new offensive coordinator - was fired on Dec. 31. The Eagles were granted permission to interview Davis not long after Kelly was hired Jan. 16 but did not meet with him until Jan. 27.
The team waited 11 days before deciding on Davis, presumably because they were waiting for one of the Ravens or 49ers assistants. Baltimore linebackers coach Ted Monachino and San Francisco defensive backs coach Ed Donatell were the two most prominently linked to the Eagles.
Donatell reportedly was blocked by the 49ers from interviewing with the Saints. Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome said Thursday that no team formally asked to speak with Monachino or any other Ravens assistant.
There was also speculation that the Eagles were waiting until after national signing day to announce that a college coach would lead their defense. Georgia's Todd Grantham had been mentioned as a possibility.
But Davis, 47, ultimately proved to be the choice. The Eagles brass will cite Davis' four years of experience as an NFL coordinator, along with his familiarity with both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, and claim that he was their top target.
The delay suggests otherwise, but that doesn't mean Davis can't be a success.
When Andy Reid became Eagles coach in 1999, his first choice for defensive coordinator was Marvin Lewis, who opted to stay in Baltimore. Reid's second choice was a coach with little NFL experience as a coordinator named Jim Johnson.
Johnson, of course, brought nastiness along with an intellect to the Eagles defense for the next decade. Davis' task is to turn around a unit that has lost its way since Johnson died from cancer after the 2008 season.
Last month, Kelly said he was looking for "shutoutability" from his defensive coordinator.
Davis helmed defenses with the 49ers in 2005 and '06 and with the Cardinals in 2009 and '10 that displayed little "shutoutability." They weren't exactly teeming with all-pros, either.
His defenses in San Francisco finished 32d and 26th in yards and 30th and 24th in points. In Arizona, they were ranked 14th and 31st in yards and 11th and tied for 26th in points.
Davis' challenge appears greater than Johnson's, however. In retrospect, Johnson had a strong core on defense with safety Brian Dawkins, cornerbacks Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor, defensive end Hugh Douglas, and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter.
Davis will inherit defensive ends Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham and linebacker DeMeco Ryans, but he will have question marks in cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, safety Nate Allen, and defensive end Trent Cole.
Rodgers-Cromartie, who will become a free agent in March, reached the Pro Bowl in 2009 under Davis.
Davis is expected to employ a hybrid 4-3 and 3-4 defense, much like the one he used in Arizona.
Davis has an NFL pedigree and ties to the Eagles. His father, Bill, was an assistant with the Eagles under Dick Vermeil. The younger Davis was an Eagles ball boy during that time. Bill Davis later ran the Eagles' personnel department in the late 1980s.
Billy Davis played quarterback and wide receiver at the University of Cincinnati. He began his coaching career in 1991 as a graduate assistant at Michigan State. He worked as a defensive assistant with the Steelers from 1992 to '94.
He was Carolina's outside-linebackers coach from 1995 to '98. Davis then bounced around with the Browns, Falcons, Packers, and New York Giants before landing in San Francisco in 2005.
The 49ers went 4-12 and 7-9 in his two seasons as coordinator. He then became the linebackers coach with the Cardinals for two seasons before being promoted by Ken Whisenhunt.
The Cardinals finished 10-6 and 5-11 in Davis' two seasons as coordinator before Whisenhunt fired him.
New line coach. The Eagles rounded out their coaching staff by hiring Alabama's Jeff Stoutland, 50, to coach their offensive line, a league source said.

Exploring Potential Training Group is a training development agency that helps companies create custom digital learning experiences which deliver lasting behavioral and organizational change by leveraging the power of video, story, and interactivity.
How We Help You Achieve Your Training Goals
At the pinnacle of educational success is learner engagement. We fuse our expansive media production experience with tested instructional strategy and the latest technology to make eLearning entertaining and effective.
The result is training that employees actually want to use and that moves organizations toward the achievement of business and performance goals.
We begin with your business outcomes in mind so that we can assure each new skill being developed is in complete alignment with the long term success of your organization.
Our Process
We know you're not providing training just for the fun of it. Your organization has a vision, goals you're moving toward, and a team of people working to achieve them.
We begin our journey by first taking the pulse of your organization, department, and learner segments. We get complete clarity on your company and departmental objectives and performance goals – and how your people, processes and procedures contribute to overall organizational success.
Through this process we help to identify opportunities for increasing efficiencies, skills and results through custom training and learning automation solutions. Although each company's needs are different, your challenges may fall into a few main categories:
- New Employee Onboarding & Company Culture
- Technical Skills
- Safety & Compliance
- Product Knowledge
- Systems
- Customer Engagement
- Leadership Development
- Change & Transformation Management
To truly create lasting behavioral change in learners, it is most effective to customize the message for specific learner segments. We help you uncover the Strategic Learner Buckets unique to your company that employees fall into by identifying their general makeup, role, learning preferences and motivations.
This initial analysis will be the guiding hand for instructional and content decisions throughout the creation of training material.
Whether you're looking at developing a single training course, full curriculum, or entire bottom to top organizational learning & development strategy, our training deliverables are driven by your business goals, performance objectives, and a solid understanding of your employee characteristics.
By leveraging the analysis compiled in Phase 1, we lay out a strategic approach to bridging the gap between where employees currently are and what employees need to know / understand / apply / analyze / synthesize / evaluate / create in order to achieve your desired performance outcomes.
Our instructional design approach takes into consideration content, technology, and delivery method for effectively reaching our targeted learning segments.
We look at all available tools and forms of content delivery like eLearning, Live Action Video Scenario, Blended Learning, Gamification, Simulation, Virtual Instruction, Interactive Live Stream.
Together we agree on methods for assessments, measuring success, and milestones to effectively demonstrate your return on investment.
The end result is a clear and detailed Employee Learning Road Map and Learning Architecture so you know exactly how we'll get from where you are to accomplishing your training, departmental, and organizational goals.
We create training content that people get excited about consuming. Away with boring training. Period.
Employee education should be an engaging, cohesive experience that maintains the quality of media we're used to interacting with on a daily basis.
We engage award-winning media production specialists to produce your training content alongside expert instructional designers. The result is educational content that is both entertaining and effective.
To achieve this, we utilize our unique Interactive Training Design Process (ITDP), which ensures learning effectiveness through a potent combination of solid research, effective pedagogy, engaging storytelling, video and interactivity.
Interactive Training Design Process (ITDP)
Step 1: Research
We start by reviewing existing content including any materials you may already have, collecting & analyzing topic research, and working with subject matter experts to ensure we have a complete picture of the topic at hand so that we deliver best-practice-based training.
Step 2: Blueprint
Next we begin to shape the details into a form that makes sense to others; most specifically – to your target learner segments. We create a blueprint of the training as a detailed pedagogy.
Step 3: Storytell
This is where the magic comes in. This is the point where our team performs the alchemy of transmuting solid information into a fluid learning journey where your employee's attention glides smoothly through the educational material, absorbing, applying, and solidifying knowledge and skill along the way.
Facts, figures and research content transforms into powerful story elements, metaphors, situations, and examples that are created intentionally to address specific learner segments and effectively communicate information in an understandable way.
Step 4: Visualize
All training we do involves video because of its tremendous power to capture and maintain attention, effect emotion, and influence behavior.
We take the facts, scenes, story elements and ideas from the previous steps and solidify all of the content into scripts and storyboards with full detail and clear visual direction.
Step 5: Interact
Our final step is to enhance the effectiveness of the content delivery by injecting interactive elements. Interactivity contributes to the overall learning experience by increasing retention. This doesn't have to only apply to the full execution of complex scenarios, we also utilize methods for integrating interactive elements into the most basic training efforts to maximize results.
We use mockups and wire frames to demonstrate interactive elements during this phase.
Whether you've got the content or we're starting from scratch, this is the phase where we really start piecing instructional content together and infusing it with direction and vision for high quality engaging presentation.
This phase allows you to pre-visualize the end product and see exactly how specific tactics will help you reach your objectives through creating these interactive learning experiences.
At the end of this phase, we end up with a detailed pedagogy, content outlines, scripts, storyboards, mockups, prototypes, and other supporting content ready to be created in its final form.
In this phase we take scripts, storyboards, outlines and mockups – and bring it all to life.
Our agile team of award winning media producers, directors, videographers, editors, designers, audio engineers, animators, and artists go to work producing all of the individual pieces of media and final content for your training.
Based on what the learning plan laid out in the previous phases calls for, you end up with combination of high quality assets like graphics, voiceover, sound effects, animations, motion graphics / kinetic text, infographic animation, whiteboard illustrations, enhanced screencasting, live action video, fictional drama video, instructor led video, interviews, simulation scenes, interactive video scenes.
The style of everything produced is aligned with your brand and feels consistent with your company culture while practically and effectively addressing performance needs.
In this phase we take all of the separate video, audio, graphic, and written content elements created in previous phases and we tie them all together in a consumption framework.
If the desired end result is an eCourse, we have the flexibility to author it on nearly any preferred course authoring software. We deliver any variety of your preferred formats and include original assets and the master course files in our deliverables to maximize your flexibility on the back end.
If your organization has a Learning Management System (LMS) in place, we will work with what you have and design for and deliver content to that platform.
If you don't have an LMS in place, we will help you find the best options for delivering your training content to employees.
We take steps to ensure our deliverables are mobile friendly and follow web accessibility guidelines.
Before you roll training out to your organization at large, we'll work through a pre-flight run. We recommend this beta-testing stage where we gain valuable feedback and insight into the success of training content within target learner segments.
Gathering feedback and analyzing user data will help us to identify any areas of dissonance, disconnect, or disengagement, which all could detract from the goals of the messaging.
In addition to traditional targeted surveys and focus groups, we go deeper by tracking and analyzing behavior in user sessions so we can learn and adjust to be more effective at getting through to our target learner.
There are actually parts of this process that show up in earlier phases, like in testing scripts & storyboards during Development, or reviewing video scenarios during Produce.
We utilize a process called Targeted Learner Evaluation (TLE) where we maximize the effectiveness of training and efficiency of training creation by receiving critical feedback at strategic points. So, by the time we get to the Pre-Flight stage, we have eliminated any surprises and improved our product in the process.
Now it's time to generate awareness and enthusiasm around your training within your organization.
We work with you to develop a communication strategy and implement the AIDA model within each target learner segment to gain interest, support, and commitment to the training.
Here we leverage elements like traditional marketing materials, digital marketing, course video trailer, testimonials, social media strategy, live stream Q&A and more.
About Us
We're a team of award-winning producers, instructional designers, writers, directors, editors and animators who are passionate about creating engaging video based training.
We specalize in creating high-impact eLearning for all industries and sectors. From technical training, soft skills and leadership development, to the complete automation of onboarding and company culture training efforts, we fuse video, storytelling, and interactivity to maximize learner engagement and the success of training goals.
Our deliverables leverage the latest in eCourse and digital learning development through fully interactive simulations, live action video, fictional scenario scenes, whiteboard illustration, motion graphics, game based training, and virtual reality. We support blended learning efforts through virtual instruction and interactive live steaming solutions.
Our team is agile and adaptive, so whether you need one critical course or curriculum, to an entire multi-year program – we are your partner in learning.

Well my friends, I've discovered a Lost World Golf adventure like no other, take a deep breath and dive right in.Cheltenham Milton Keynes Stevenage
Facilities include; 36 holes, late night bar and restaurant. Coming soon.
Space explorers, it's time to dust off your moon boots and take giant strides to one of our three nine-hole golf courses, taking you from Mr Mulligan's secret airship hangar to a crash landing on the moon!Newcastle
Ahoy there me hearties! I've been exploring and came across some spiffing splendid adventures that I think you might enjoy. Come, follow me to a pirates' paradise.Castleford Milton Keynes Nottingham Woking
Dinosaurs have to be one of the most fascinating stories from this captivating universe we live in. Oh you think they weren't real? Well let me show you what really happened through a game of adventure Golf in Sidcup or Tonbridge.
My Jurassic memories have been carved through 18-hole outdoor adventure golf courses so far but I have only just scratched the surface with what really happened. Dinosaurs also live under water, in caves and in the sky so who knows what next adventure will be added to the portfolio.
We all love Dinosaurs, so why not scatter them across the land to create the perfect family day out. Looking for things to do with the family and friends? Look no further.
My adventures are not always outdoors and some of the most frightening of journeys have been under the sea and in caves like no other. These creatures leave you gasping for air as you stay silent and do your best to not get noticed.
As I look back on my past, it leaves me no choice but to continue to demonstrate these eye-catching memories through the Lost World. The adventure must continue with Food and Beverage, no explorer can survive without this. We must therefore build more adventure golf courses with restaurants and bars.
Expect to see some new indoor venues with the whole shebang of glorious recollections. Perfect for evening activities, nights out and group parties whether you are celebrating a special occasion or a corporate work do. Rain or shine, this adventure continues.
