text: Cape Town - BMW South Africa has launched its sixth-generation 7 Series locally, claiming that the new luxury sedan is the "best BMW ever built".The 7 Series, first launched in 1977, has always been regarded as the "big daddy" of the brand - the most luxurious and sophisticated car in BMW's stable.Image gallery: 2016 BMW 7 SeriesIt's one of the ultimate 'presidential' cars in SA, a vehicle our politicians love being chauffeured in.Best BMW yet?Is it the best car BMW has built yet? That's debatable but more on that later. One thing is for certain though, the latest 7 Series is definitely opulent, spacious and built for the pleasure-loving driver.The automaker reckons "it's the pinnacle of what BMW can do in terms of luxury and innovation". With technology such as iDrive, integral steering, xenon headlights and night vision, the sixth-gen does not disappoint when it comes to in-car tech.New-generation enginesThe new BMW 7 Series range has been extensively updated with a V8 engine, two six-cylinder in-line variants, as well as a four-cylinder hybrid 2.0-litre petrol. All engines are mated to a specially-developed eight-speed Steptronic transmission.First up in the range is the BMW 750i (BMW 750Li) powered by a V8 petrol featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo technology (two TwinScroll turbochargers, direct injection, Valvetronic, Double-Vanos) - it arrives later in February 2016. Its 4395cc unit is capable of 330kW/650Nm. It reaches 100km/h in 4.7 seconds with a claimed top speed of 250km/h. Average fuel consumption is rated at 8.3 l/100km while CO2 emissions are 194 g/km.Then there's the BMW 740i 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology good for 240kW/450Nm. It reaches 0 to 100km/h in 5.5 seconds.BMW 730d 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel engine produces 195kW/620Nm and reaches 100km/h in 6.1 seconds.A BMW 7 series that can return 2.1 litres/100km?The fourth model is the plug-in hybrid 740e which features BMW eDrive technology. It's powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, with a total output of 240kW. This model will head into production in June/July and is set to arrive in South Africa later during the third quarter of 2016. Fuel consumption is rated at a claimed 2.1 litres/100km while CO2 emissions stand at a claimed 49g/km. What's it like to drive?I anticipated a sturdy drive and was expecting this massive car to feel sluggage behind the wheel, instead it's size belies its agility. The vehicle weighs 130kg lighter than the outgoing model, making it one of the lightest cars in its segment. This translates to smooth, comfortable driving on the road. The steering is as light as a compact car and the drive feels as if you're floating along the road even when flooring it. And of course overtaking is effortless.The 730d was almost as silent as driving an electric car even the more powerful 740i has an elegant, quiet drive on the road. Insulation is top-class in this model and road/wind noise is barely noticeable. There are also active air-vents, known as the active air-flap control system, with adjustable bars in the kidney grille. BMW says: "Whenever more cooling air is required, the additional bars automatically swing open. This combines with the flaps in the lower air intake to allow the supply of air for cooling the engine and brakes to be adjusted in a total of five stages as demands dictate. During the warming-up phase and when operating at low loads, the BMW kidney grille is closed completely to reduce air drag at the front of the vehicle."'Chews up corners for breakfast'Driving dynamics are taken care of with a host of technology - dynamic damper control, active electromechanical roll stabilisation and '2-axle' air suspension with self-leveling, means the 7 Series chews up tight corners for breakfast. The drive is supremely comfortable and the dynamic straight-six units are utterly enjoyable on the road. Even the pedals seem to be more delicate to the touch. Of course the accelerator pedal can be the devil, if you're not paying attention the engine can easily be coaxed into giving more and more power. What's newIn terms of looks, the new 7 Series seems to have gone back to its roots with lean design. Yes, it's still big and bold but that serious load of chunk from the outgoing model has been minimised. There's a host of innovation packed into the car. It's as if BMW has been working on redefining the term luxury in one model, namely its flagship.There are driver assistant systems galore, and it comes with all the bells and whistles one would expect from BMW's premier sedan.The highlights on the new car is its new remote parking control system and its uber cool remote key. You can literally step out of the car and park into a tight space in a garage or shopping mall parking lot, as long as you're only moving forward or back. The system will only be available locally in May 2016. The most impressive thing about this feature is its price. According to BMW SA's communications manager, Edward Makwana, this option will only cost you R7200 - that's cheaper than a satnav option or even sunroof from most premium manufacturers!Another nifty gadget is its smartkey which features its own touchscreen LCD to control the remote parking and other functions.The new 7 Series uses BMW's Laserlight, first debuted in the i8 sportscar. The BMW Selective Beam is dazzle-free, says the automaker, and can be specified for the new 7 Series as an alternative to the standard full-LED headlights. It has a bright, pure white light which shines 600m - double the distance of the LED headlights.No more buttonsI can't decide which is my favourite though, the fact that the car can park it self, or this new gesture control system which is a display control concept. The buttons on the centre console and facia can now be deemed irrelevant with this world-first innovation. With that said, there are still loads of buttons and the interior looks very much like any other BMW, except for these new integrated functions. Yes the materials are sensual to touch and quality is non-negotiable of the highest standard.You can use voice control or hand signals to control functions on the display. Hold your hand up and make circular motions in a clockwise direction and it turns up the volume, turn anti-clockwise and the volume is turned down. Make a swiping movement to the right and you reject an incoming phone call. The hand movements are detected by a 3D sensor. The gestures can be used for various functions. There is also the option of pairing a specific gesture with an individual choice of function, meaning you can customise. And if that's not enough there's also a new smartphone holder integrated into the centre console, which allows wireless, inductive charging for mobile phones.Driver assistant systemsSteering and lane control assistant, lane-keeping assistant with active side collision protection, rear-collision prevention and crossing traffic warning functions have been added to the Driving Assist Plus system. As one would expect there's an array of driver aide systems such as the usual lane departure systems and so forth. The neat thing about BMW's steering and lane-control assistant is that it actually jerks the steering wheel back into the lane you're supposed to be in when straddling lines. The traffic-jam assistant applies the brakes when you're too close to the vehicle ahead and is capable of slowing down/stopping if a vehicle swerves in front of you.Back-seat drivingI imagined the 7 Series to be the size of a mini-office in the rear. I would've liked to have driven long-wheel base versions (rated as the best legroom in its class) as I was disappointed by the legroom. Don't get me wrong, it's luxurious and spacious, there's just not as much legroom as one would've hoped.To be honest, I stretched my legs out further in an Audi A8 and the space I shared with my co-driver was more cosy than palatial.Other than the removable tablet which controls your seats, the entertainment system - yes you can change the volume or audio mediums in the front too and massage functions - there isn't much else. I was of course expecting to be able to control the world from the expectations which were set before driving this machine. The massage functions are adequate, not amazing, just adaquate. You get more of an invigorated Swedish kick from a Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG than this premier BMW. My co-driver could hardly feel the massage - which was set on maximum - and thought he was just 'thick-skinned'. Is it is the godfather of luxury?No, at least compared to its rivals. I think the technology in the new 7 Series trumps its rivals. Perhaps its the high expectations of wanting 'more car' for such a steep price tag. Is it the best car BMW has ever built? In terms of technology and engines, yes. The drive in the 7 Series is thrilling that's for sure but if thrills are what you're after you're better off purchasing an M5 or M6.More from BMWIf the 7 series is not your cup of tea, the M2 Coupe and the highly-anticipated M4 GTS is set to arrive later in 2016. For the more conservative driver, the X5 plug-in hybrid arrives towards the end of 2016.

Famed for her beach babe looks, Lara Bingle has spent the past tumultuous year in what sometimes felt like an out-of-body experience.
Struggling through a dark period after breaking up with rugby union player Danny Cipriani late last year, the model piled on the pounds as she nursed a broken heart.
But, thanks to a healthy eating and exercise regime, 25-year-old Bingle says she feels "in control" and ready to launch a new business venture.
"I've been quite large and now I feel like I am in my body," Bingle told The Sunday Telegraph. "Before I felt like I was forever fighting, eating like a rabbit, for what? Now, I enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. I am loving life."
Bingle plans to emulate supermodel Elle Macpherson's global lingerie empire and launch her own line next year.
"I definitely believe it is going to be as big as Elle Macpherson's ... It's the right time," she said.
Bingle rose to prominence, aged 18, when she was chosen from obscurity to star in Tourism Australia's $180 million global campaign "So Where The Bloody Hell Are You?" in 2006.
From her broken engagement to Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke to her history of driving offences, her role in a controversial reality TV show and her weight battle, Bingle has endured more than her share of struggles in the spotlight.
But now, in a steady relationship with Sydney fashion identity Gareth Moody, Bingle feels stronger than ever.
"I've taken control of all my business. I am the spearhead of the business. I wish it ran that way three years ago, I might have not had so many hiccups," she said. "But I have no regrets."

Happy Sunday, friends! Thanks for continuing to follow along with our Sweet Summertime Reads feature with Tara and Ginger! Today I'm deviating from our usual Shelve It post to spotlight an author I've fallen in love with, Melissa Walker. Watch my short vlog to find out why I love her books so much and then […]
Melissa Walker is such an interesting personality! I got to meet her recently at the Summer Love event at Books of Wonder (which I went to with Estelle) and talking to her made me even more psyched to read her book. Great interview!
I love Melissa Walker, SO MUCH! Thanks to you Magan & your undying affection for it, I recently read Unbreak My Heart and it totally broke my heart in the best way possible. I adore that novel, so so much. I loved what Melissa had to say about the gray areas. I find this to be true. OF COURSE cheating is wrong, but there is always so much to learn and grow from. Every story is different. I am happy to see a YA novel that touches on this in a positive way. Great interview!
Aw, Magan! I know how much you love this book and I really need to read it so I can love it too. I love her reasoning for the sailing. I never thought of it that way! Fantastic interview. 😀
Hey Magan! Great intro to the interview, I can tell you really love Melissa's books and I promise to read all 3! And, I love your top!
I really enjoyed the interview, I think it's sweet that Melissa gets homesick while on holiday, I totally understand!

It Looks Expensive, but It Was Designed to Cut Costs
Stunning is just one of the words that come to mind when you see this tiny house "Casa Mar Azul" located near Mar Azul, a coastal village south of Buenos Aires. The tiny house was built among a grove of pine trees, with holes incorporated into the deck and a roof overhang to accommodate the existing trees. The goal for the BAK Arquitectos was to design a low-cost and low-maintenance summer tiny house.
The tiny house has two bedrooms in its single level floor plan of only 721 square feet. The layout of this tiny home is very unique for a small house, with the BAK architects placing the bathroom at the center of the floor plan. The other rooms are arranged around the space, with a path circling the bathroom. Sliding doors allow the kitchen and private areas of the tiny house to be closed off from the living area as needed. Concrete was used as the main building material for its low cost, low maintenance and its ability to blend in with the grays of the surrounding forest. The raw concrete gives the interior a natural appearance, with the walls and ceiling offering some added character by the texture of the boards used to form them. The outer walls of the living area space are glazed to ensure that there is maximum light within the dark forest location. There are two skylights that align with the bathroom walls brining daylight into the center of the house.
The exterior fits in perfectly with its forest surroundings, with weathered wood used on the exterior of the tiny house, and a wooden deck that has trees growing right through the deck. Inside the use of lots of glass really brings the outside in, and makes the tiny house feel that more spacious. The wooden ceilings and use of lots of natural materials from glass, weathered wood, white walls, and concrete tie in wonderfully with this beautiful natural location. This tiny space is modern and beautiful and would be a pleasure to spend time in.
Tiny houses seem to be popping up wherever you look. Just when you thought you had seen the coolest tiny house design, along comes another one, to raise the bar even higher. A glimpse of the tiny houses you will see there include forest cottage in Sweden, Wood Studio house, Compact guest cottage in Portland, House Zilvar, Owl Tree cabin, tiny sod roofed house in Denmark, a grandmother's modern backyard cottage, The Birdhouse, tiny house in a Pasadena bungalow court, tiny cottage on the Oregon coast, the brick house guest suite, Savannah bungalow with wraparound porch, tiny shotgun cottage in New Orleans, coastal cottage on Grand Manan Island, Susan's tiny backyard cottage with a loft and stairs, Hillsborough River dock house, The Cubby and so much more.
These days it seems like everywhere you look you are seeing tiny houses from locations all over the world. It seems more and more people are thinking about tiny homes, and because of that you are seeing a variety of designs, styles and plans available to choose from. In this modern world many of us have become accustomed to living in larger sized homes, when it fact we really don't need as much space as we all think. Tiny house living is a lesson in simplicity and a break away from needing so much, in this consumer driven world we live in. We could all use a bit less stuff, and with that we could save some money and possibly afford to do more of the things we love.

On Wednesday, Mr. C had an off day. We have been planning weeks ago to go to Sunshine Coast but something always came up. More like a bout of Miss Procrastination. Despite the weather forecast saying that it'll be cloudy and rainy, we decided to take Miss Procrastination by the horns and brave the weather, come what may.
Mr. C, the driver for the day.
We headed out about 9ish in the morning. Greeted with a glaring sun shining over up in the clear, blue sky. Thank God Mr. C bought a pair of sunnies (aka sunglasses) for me last week. If not, I would have been blinded. Try driving here without sunnies during the day. Close to impossible. I tried that once and was rendered blind. I am not kidding!
We were headed straight to Eumundi, approximately 1 hour plus from Brisbane. Mr. C suddenly had a brainy idea to drop by The Big Pineapple that is situated on Nambour Connection Road at Woombye. And we have to pass Nambour on our way to Eumundi.
Mr. C remembered that his friend mentioned about this place before as it is one of Sunshine Coast's tourist attraction. It may just be a big pineapple and nothing much but it's what Woombye is famous for or if you're passing Nambour, you should just drop by.
They offer train rides around the plantation and even have a nut mobile! I think when I have kids in the future only will I bring them onto the rides and such. =)

They have a souvenir like shop where you can buy products made from pineapple such as sweets, jams, chocolates and the likes. As they have a macadamia factory too, they were selling macadamia products.
The Big Pineapple is 16 metres high and was originally opened on the 15th of August 1971.
You can go inside the pineapple and walk up a flight of stairs. Information on the farm and how pineapple's are processed is provided inside.
DID you know that...
That's a really loooong time.
View of the plantation from inside the Big Pineapple and high above the ground.
Mr. C trying to be cute.
That's me, pointing to the 16m high pineapple.
Entry is free but you'll have to pay for the tours as per the first picture above. It's best to go for the tour to see more of the farm, if not, basically, it's just taking pictures with the super tall pineapple and that's it.
Nothing much to shout about, really. But you can boast that you've been to the Big Pineapple.
Nothing much to shout about, really. But you can boast that you've been to the Big Pineapple.
First tour commences at 10.00am.
Trading hours are 9am-5pm everydayStay tune for the upcoming posts on my Sunshine Coast trip. Just too much to cram into one post. =)

Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Susquehanna baseball team could not salvage the doubleheader portion of its three-game series at Moravian, dropping both games on Sunday afternoon in Bethlehem. SU (12-11, 2-4) lost the first game 11-1 and fell 8-6 in the series finale.
The Crusaders managed just three hits in the opening game, with two from Ethan Rieker (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Twp.), who also drove in the only run. Ty Raubenstine (Elizabethville, Pa./Upper Dauphin Area) went 1-for-3 and scored the team's lone run.
Starter Luc Kocher lasted 1.2 innings and gave up six runs on six hits. Matt Lottes (Muttontown, N.Y./Long Island Lutheran) tossed the next 2.l innings and gave up four runs and Matt Roe (Freehold, N.J./High Point Regional) came in for the final two innings of play and surrendered one run on two hits.
Things started out promising for SU as the team opened the first inning with one run on a Rieker single. Unfortunately, that also marked the final scoring of the game for the Crusaders.
Moravian (15-10, 8-1) put one run on the board in the first to tie the game then broke through for a five-run second inning. The Greyhounds added two more in the third and fourth innings to grab a 10-1 advantage.
They added another run in the fifth to make it 11-1, which remained the final score as both teams were retired in order in the bottom of the sixth and top of the seventh innings.
Game two had a bit more offense for the Crusaders with six runs and eight hits but it was not enough to overcome a 12-hit effort from Moravian.
Mike Rucereto (Washington Twp., N.J./Bergen Catholic) collected three of those hits and scored three runs while Rieker added two more hits, which included a home run, and two more RBI.
Matt Boyd (Camp Hill, Pa./Camp Hill) pitched the first three innings and gave up four hits. Spencer Hotaling (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) gave up two runs in his two full innings and Brian Wendig (West Chester, Pa./Malvern Prep) surrendered two runs in his one inning of work.
Like the first game, SU got on the board first courtesy of a two-run homer off the bat of Rieker that plated Dan Wing (West Chester, Pa./Unionville/Catawba), who had reached on a single.
Moravian countered with a run in the bottom half of the inning for a 2-1 game.
Susquehanna put another two runs together in the second inning and the Greyhounds countered with another run as SU was able to push its lead to 4-2.
Moravian knotted the game at four with a two-run third inning before a Ken Kayama [(Koto-Ku, Japan/Solebury )Pa.)] triple down the right field line scored Rucereto to hand a 5-4 lead back to SU.
In the fifth inning, the Greyhounds took their first lead of the afternoon with two runs on three hits, also aided by an SU error, to make it 6-5.
Yet again the Crusaders managed to tie the game with one run in the sixth but the Greyhounds countered with a two-run sixth of their own that made it 8-6.
With one last chance to tie or take the lead in the seventh, the Crusaders left one runner on base as the game ended on a groundout to the shortstop.
SU travels to Albright on April 3 for a 4 p.m. game.

Stormy Bridesmaid Dresses & Gowns168 items
Why They Chose Stormy For Their Wedding
Inspired by the drama yet beauty of an impending storm, Stormy is a grey-blue that is calm yet fascinating. A universally flattering color, Stormy is especially ideal for Winter weddings with a modern edge. Stormy is just perfect for floor-length styles, whether constructed from sheen or coarser fabrics.
I just love rose gold to the point where basically all my jewelry is rose gold. I found these super gorgeous personalized rose gold necklaces for the bridesmaids, where each had their initials. It went perfectly with the Stormy bridesmaid dresses that we picked out, where rustic rose gold necklace just added the finishing touch.
- Lyla
I'm a photographer and my favorite subject to photograph is weather. I used to drive all the way out to the coast of where we lived in Massachusetts to photograph the clouds before a storm. It sounds crazy but I absolutely love it. Stormy reminded me of this; plus, it's just such a chic color.
- Nishy
I first discovered Stormy through our decorator, who painted our study that color. It soon became one of my favorite rooms in the house because Stormy just has such a calming effect, despite its name. So when it came time to choosing the bridesmaid dresses, I looked into Stormy dresses right away.
- Gina
Stormy has such a dramatic connotation, although the color itself is really beautiful. I really fell in love with the color right away on the website and it was even more beautiful when I saw it in person after ordering the fabric swatches. The bridesmaids also wore these gold and pearl headpieces with their Stormy dresses, which was so stunning!

UPDATE: The Queensland Health Minister has released a statement regarding this issue. The full text can be found here.
UPDATE: News Editor Rick Morton just spoke to Festival Executive Director Bill Hauritz about the decision to bring Meryl Dorey into speak.
Q: Does the Festival feel it appropriate to give a platform to a woman who has been officially discredited as any type of vaccination expert?
Bill: Look, I'm not going to get into that. There are a lot of discredited artists and talkers and singers and songwriters at the Festival and we're about giving a voice to a diverse range … something like 400 artists there.
Q: But surely if a singer/songwriter is discredited, that doesn't pose a public health risk does it?
Bill: Who says it is dangerous? There are a lot of people out there who believe this whole vaccination thing is not an open and shut case. Is anybody willing to say that all vaccinations are 100% safe?
Q: I don't think even doctors say that, Bill. Is Meryl billed as an expert for her talk?
Bill: I suppose she would regard herself as an expert, yes. Look, when this issue hit the floor yesterday I typed into Google 'doctors against vaccinations' and there are page and pages and pages of results of information. I wonder about the tactics of the science lobby.
Q: Why do you call it a lobby? That seems fairly indicative of your personal views don't you think?
Bill: I didn't mean to call it a lobby. I just get wary when people are trying to sell stuff on the Internet.
Q: I don't think scientists necessarily want to sell anything?
Bill: Look, it doesn't make a difference. We've already entered into contracts with Meryl Dorey and we cannot break those contracts now. We're 10 days away from opening the gates to the festival. The damage is already done.
Q: Is Meryl Dorey being paid for her appearance?
Bill: I honestly haven't seen the contracts. I'd say she isn't.
Q: Can you understand the backlash you have received? You know it isn't about diverse views. It's about spruiking information that has been officially debunked. Do you understand the issue many have with Dorey is that she is not a statistician, a researcher, a scientist and has no level of expertise as found by the Health Care Complaints Commission which ordered her to be upfront about her anti-vaccination stance?
Bill: Everyone has a right to their opinion.
Q: But surely not to their own facts? Are you worried people will boycott the festival now?
Bill: Let them, they have every right to.
The Woodford Folk Festival sounds like a quaint, fringe music festival. It's not. With more than 130,000 people attending the 2010/2011 event in Queensland it is one of the largest cultural events of its kind in Australia. Which makes it all the more troubling known anti-vaccine campaigner Meryl Dorey has been invited – again – to speak there. Mamamia finds it troubling because of this post we ran debunking the most common vaccination myths, the ones that Dorey and her misleadingly titled Australian Vaccination Network continue to willfully propagate. It's one of the most popular posts we have ever run on the site. So while Dorey has been given a platform to speak, despite having been discredited by major health agencies, it is a platform paid for by major sponsors. Including the local council and Queensland Government. So, why? Peter Bowditch writes…..
In 2010, Meryl Dorey, once (and maybe still) President of the Australian Vaccination Network, appeared as a speaker at the Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland. I wondered at the time why a festival devoted to community spirit and enjoyment should provide a platform for someone to preach a philosophy that can only cause harm to children, and I wrote to the organisers with my concern.
I didn't receive an answer, but Ms Dorey wasn't pleased that I had written and in her usual 'just missing the truth' style she claimed that I had asked them not to let her speak. I had done nothing of the sort, just said that I didn't think that what she would inevitably say was the sort of thing I would expect to hear at a folk festival. She can say what she likes where she lies as long as people are aware of her agenda.
She didn't appear at the 2011 festival, but she is booked in to give two talks at the 2012 event in January. I suppose this means the festival organisers aren't concerned about her message, and the presence of various other practitioners of weird science and ideas on the same stage just confirms this impression. I have no idea why anyone would associate folk music with the sort of things one would expect to see at a Mind Body Spirit Festival or even why there would be an overlap of audiences, but maybe things have changed since my Kings Cross troubadour days. Or, as someone once said, the answers are blowing in the wind.
What makes this Woodford Festival a little different is the range of event sponsors whom you would think would run away very quickly from any association with anyone opposing vaccination. And make no mistake, for all Ms Dorey's claims that she is not opposed to vaccination and just wants it to be safe she has never once in the more than a decade I've been dealing with her ever allowed that any vaccine is either safe or beneficial. She is not opposed to vaccines provided that they are never given to any person of any age to protect against any disease.
She has described measles (the disease which has killed more children than any other in the history of the world) as "benign;" she suggested the slogan "Shaken Maybe Syndrome" as a way of implying that Shaken Baby Syndrome does not exist but is always damage caused by vaccines; she provided strong support to a man imprisoned in the US for the murder of a ten-week-old boy, her support being based on the idea that the dreadful injuries to the child had to be the effects of a vaccine, not the actions of a violent man; she is on record as an AIDS denier; she said on television that "whooping cough didn't kill us thirty years ago and it's not kill anybody today". If she isn't implacably opposed to vaccinations then she hides any other position well.
In 2009 the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission took the unprecedented step of issuing a public warning about Ms Dorey and the AVN. This followed her refusal to agree to a request to display a notice on the AVN's web site saying that the organisation did not give medical advice, that it was opposed to vaccination, and that parents should get advice about vaccination from a competent medical practitioner. Ms Dorey is currently taking the HCCC to court over the matter. She needs to do this because the NSW Office of Liquor Gaming and Racing has withdrawn the AVN's charity status and banned them from recruiting new members or accepting donations. The OLG&R took the HCCC's public warning into account when making its rulings.
But back to the sponsors of the Woodford Folk Festival. One significant sponsor is the local Moreton Bay Regional Council. The Council has quite clear policies supporting vaccination and other public health initiatives, and Ms Dorey's message is diametrically opposed to these. In fact, if too many locals listen to her and believe what she says then the Council's public health activities could be severely undermined.
Another sponsor is the local ABC radio station. I know for a fact that the ABC has been told about Ms Dorey and her activities, so it is doubly distressing to see public money contributing to giving her a platform to spread harmful misinformation. The Queensland Government is also a sponsor, and again public money is being spent to encourage ideas which are in direct contradiction to the vaccination programs and policies of a government.
I don't want Ms Dorey silenced (to want that would be to follow the "principles" that she applies to any public forum that she controls, where the slightest dissent results in banning). I just want people to know that she is not a reliable authority on matters of public health and vaccination. She can say what she likes as long as others can point to her and say "Dangerous, uninformed, unscientific nonsense".
If you doubt the terrible consequences of a lack of vaccination, take the time watch Mia's heartbreaking interview with Toni and Dave McCaffrey whose daughter Dana died as a result of whooping cough. She lived in one of the least vaccinated areas in the country. The interview starts at 12:52.
If you are concerned by this turn of events, you can email the Woodford Folk Festival organisers on [email protected] or leave a message on their FB Wall here, email Moreton Bay Regional Council here or email the Queensland Government here.

National Roofing Partners specializes in commercial and industrial low-slope roof systems. Our Tier 1 Member Contractors are highly trained and certified, able to complete anything from minor repair and maintenance, to a full tear-off with a complete new roof system. NRP's Member Contractors have years of experience with various manufacturers and every roof system, from Single Ply TPO to Metal to Coatings. NRP can analyze the roofing needs of your entire building portfolio and create a customized program that meets those needs in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Whether it's damage from hail, wind, traffic on the roof, or just the passage of time — many instances of roof damage and/or neglect can be repaired without requiring a full replacement.
National Roofing Partners offers a variety of repair options to suit your budget requirements.
We strive to meet National Roofing Contractor Association standards in all of our repair applications. There may be times when a temporary patch is needed stop your roof from leaking. When that happens we schedule a return trip to make proper repairs.
Repair options are available for all types of roofs including most single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), Modified Bitumen , Built-Up, Standing Seam or Exposed Fastener Metal, Tile and Slate.
National Roofing Partners can advise you when it makes more sense to replace your roof rather than repair it. Our partners are full-service, Tier 1 roofing contractors who can professionally manage projects of any size.
Whether your main concern is cost, energy efficiency, appearance or durability — or any combination thereof, NRP can help you select the best roofing system for your facility. NRP has a full-time staff of Project Managers to assist our Partners with roof assessments & evaluations thus ensuring our clients of the highest value for their budget.
Warranties are available for the common periods of 10, 15, or 20 years. Some manufacturers even offer special warranty periods under certain circumstances. And of course, NRP warrants our work for two full years.
Preventative maintenance is an essential tool in keeping your facility leak-free and protecting the roof warranty. Most manufacturers' warranties require the warranty holder to perform minimal preventative maintenance procedures to prevent damage to the sub-roof components.
In addition to performing maintenance on your facilities, National Roofing Partners can help you manage the maintenance requirements of your facilities. The NRP Technology Solutions Platform not only allows you to track and view past maintenance, track warranty expirations, and schedule new work, but you can also track all your expenses over the life of a roof system from your own office computer, tablet, or smart phone via the Internet.
Whether your emergency is Mother Nature or disaster related, you can call us anytime. National Roofing Partners Customer Care Team is available 24/7/365, we welcome your calls before, during or immediately after severe weather events for prompt courtesy service.
Our clients simply call (866) 537-6034 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for service which is monitored around the clock. If you are not yet a NRP client, please call us at (866) 537-6034 and we'll connect you to one of our national account representatives.
Do you have multiple roofs in several locations which were installed at various times? National Roofing Partners can handle tracking their condition, maintenance, warranty status and eventual replacement.
• Track source of known leaks
• Identify compromised areas likely to cause future leaks
• Inspect typical trouble spots: penetrations, laps, flashings
• Check for storm damage
Roof systems deteriorate over time from normal wear, contractors (HVAC, etc.) working on the roof, severe weather and even building settlement. While manufacturer warranties may protect your investment for 10, 15, or even 20 years, this does not mean your roof is impervious to damage during that period. In fact, nearly all warranties require regular inspections and scheduled maintenance to remain in effect.
NRP partners are authorized contractors for all major roof manufacturers such as Johns Manville, Carlisle, Firestone, Sika-Sarnafil and many others. In addition to protecting and providing manufacturer warranties, we warrant all of our services for a period of one year or as directed by client protocol.
Tracking :
• Budget forecasting
• Repair vs. replacement cost effectiveness
• Scheduled maintenance
• Warranties
National Roofing Partners' Clean and Inspection process is designed to help you successfully manage the condition of your roof.
As part of our Clean and Inspect program NRP will:
• Photograph front of the facility
• Photograph roof overview
• Clean roof of debris, dirt and dust accumulated from standing water and waterways
• Inspect flashings and curbs (photograph defected areas)
• Perform non-replacement minor repairs as needed
• Photograph documentation of repairs (as applicable)
• Provide a complete SURVEY of the entire roof
• Provide a Recommended Work proposal for all visual defects needing immediate attention
Note: Minor repairs and debris removal are defined on a client to client basis but generally means small trash items or foliage (1 bag or less) especially around drains, in gutters, downpipes or scupper/conductor-heads. Minor repairs are limited to temporary seals with urethane sealant unless otherwise agreed upon.
Not all facilities are designed with heavy snowfall in mind and when a significant snowfall occurs, it's vital for building owners to monitor their facility's roof system and evaluate it for signs of distress. Some signs of danger may include some or all of the following:
• Sagging steel supports
• Splitting wood frame/supports
• Sprinkler heads forced down below ceiling tiles
• Doors/windows popping open or difficult to open
• Curving or bowing utility pipes or electrical conduit near the ceiling
• Creaking or popping noises
Low-sloped roofs are more at risk due to the freeze-thaw cycle and the associated draining issues. It is also important to keep in mind that the depth of the snow may be quite deceiving as this doesn't always indicate the weight of the snow. A foot of dry snow can weigh about 3-5 pounds per square foot whereas a foot of wet snow can weigh nearly 20-25 pounds. Heavy rain following recent snowfalls can be just as dangerous as its freezes overnight and adds to the overall weight load on the roof.
Snow removal as needed coupled with regular roof checks will go a long way in keeping your employees & clientele safe. Snow removal is a dangerous process and should be left to professionals like National Roofing Partners.
National Roofing Partners understands that managing a regional or nationwide roofing portfolio is a complex task requiring you to develop and maintain relationships with multiple roofing companies, negotiate multiple contracts and pricing programs, and utilize multiple service ordering and billing systems. This limits your ability to achieve consistent services and results.
Imagine the ease of use and peace of mind that comes from knowing that you can now utilize a single entity to receive consistently high levels of service, quality, and systems regardless of where your facility is located or the type of roof services required. How do we do that?
NRP Technology Solutions Platform:
• Robust database with redundant backup protection
• Your data at your fingertips via our client portal
- Reactive leak repair historical records including photos and leak mapping
- Roof diagrams in either CAD format or satellite images
- Detailed Roof Area data
• Budget Analysis Reports downloaded in spreadsheet format
- Forecast your expenses based on prior history
- Repair, maintain or replace based on real time data
• Schedule repairs, routine maintenance or roof surveys from your PC

By Robbie Blakeley, Senior Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – France got their World Cup campaign off to the perfect start with an easy 3-0 win over Honduras at the Estádio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre this afternoon (June 15th). A brace from Karim Benzema and an own goal did the damage to a limited Honduras outfit, who never looked like troubling the French following the dismissal of Wilson Palacios.
The game will be remembered for the first use of the innovative goal-line technology in the tournament. France's second goal was controversial in the extreme, Benzema's header rebounding off a post and Honduras goalkeeper Valladares spilling it over the line by millimeters.
The comprehensive victory leaves France top of Group E, ahead of Switzerland on goal difference after they beat Ecuador earlier in the day. The two lock horns on Friday at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.
France were dominant from the off as Honduras simply looked to soak up pressure in a futile bid to secure a goalless draw against one of the top teams on the planet. It was a plan doomed to failure.
In first-half stoppage time, Palacios barged Paul Pogba over in the area and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Having already been booked for an earlier fracas with Pogba, Palacios was given his marching orders.
Benzema tucked away the penalty to put France 1-0 up at the interval. The controversial own goal doubled France's lead on 48 minutes, and the game was over as a contest.
Benzema sealed the win on 71 minutes, blasting a shot into the roof of the net after Matuidi's initial effort had been blocked. The French domination was complete, and they can now look forward to Friday's big clássico with their European neighbors.

Public School has just announced the launch of Public School Denim, 'a made-in-New York denim collection bringing NYC to the forefront of denim craftsmanship'. The collection is for the guys and they have some very detailed washes on offer, as well as numerous different fits which you can see in the gallery below. I have also included some text from the press release so you can get a good idea what the brand is about.
The collection aims to cater to the needs of the new generation of creative╩╝s that yearn for cutting edge product with classic styling. Born and raised in New York City, Public School founders Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne have joined forces with denim veteran Tobias Levine to create the new men╩╝s denim line. The 2013 denim collection presents a range of fabric treatments and silhouettes that are not normally associated with denim. The collection will consist mostly of rigid and raw materials, as well as washed and wet-process styles all manufactured in New York.
Pieced goods will be developed exclusively with denim supplier Cone Denim at White Oak Mills, while some other fine materials will hail from Japanese denim mill Kurabo, as well as various Italian denim mills, such as selvedge denim and wide width goods. In addition to three classic jean styles – Straight, Slim, and Skinny – the Public School Denim Collection will feature a slim pant silhouette, creating a rotating "fashion" fit for every season. The tailored set has innovative pieces like a candle-wax coated canvas jean that molds to your body as it heats and cools, and chronoline waxed finished denim, as well as classics like an indigo over-dyed slim fit, and raw basics. The opening prices range from $165 to $390 for the more fashionable styles.

Finally: New Jay-Z in September
'The Blueprint 3' will be out on September 11.
According to Billboard and others, Jay-Z will announce a September 11 release date for The Blueprint 3 — via his Roc Nation label with distribution through Atlantic Records — at Sunday's Hot 97 Summer Jam show at Giants Stadium. There's still some disagreement over whether the deal with Atlantic is for all Roc Nation albums, or if it's just a one-off for BP3. Historians will remember that Jigga's original Blueprint album came out on September 11, 2001, so it's weird that he'd want to try that again. [Billboard]

Century €??
THE Women's Murder Club series (now on a TV near you) is based on James Patterson's numbered series of books (1st to Die, 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, etc).
The latest, 7th Heaven, is soaring up the charts. It's written with the don't-touch-that-dial skill of Patterson - every page has a new hook to drag the reader into the next shocking scene.
But maybe the characters and theme are getting a tiny bit tired in 7th Heaven. If you're not a fan, you may find it hard to get into the book.
The story: Michael Campion is the Boy in the Bubble, a teenager with a heart defect who has grown up wealthy and protected. He's an internet chess champion, but he hasn't had the normal experiences of adolescence.
When he disappears there's a kerfuffle of publicity and television pleading, and the police are called in to investigate. A tipoff puts him in the workplace of a Bambi-like young prostitute, and under questioning she admits to killing him and disposing of the body.
Separately, the San Francisco cops are investing a series of arson attacks. A pair of teenage psychos are killing the rich, targeting elderly consumerist couples and torching their houses.
The stories are impeccably researched, but the characters are strangely cold. No matter; Patterson can grab your interest and keep you reading.
I just wasn't crazy about the detective, the attorney, the reporter and the pathologist at the centre of the series. But millions of others love them.

Novice to Published Pro Photographer in a Few Short Years…
I love getting emails like the one I received a couple of days ago from a past student:
Hi Nick,
Just wanted to let you know that a wedding I photographed in April has been featured on the Love My Dress wedding blog today:
I'm super excited and could never have imagined that I'd be where I am now 3 years ago when I'd just had my one to one training with you (you probably couldn't imagine it either!).
Just goes to show what an amazing teacher and mentor you are.
Thanks very much,
Jo was typical of many of my students in that she had an "eye" for photography, a talent, and also had the passion for it. Photography was something she wanted to do.
Most of the work comes after the courses I teach and Jo had the determination to make it succeed and now runs a very successful, full time photography business with many weddings being booked each year.
Well done Jo and here is a link to more of her work and the article again:

Except for the zip code and dead-giveaway landmarks like the Seattle Public Library, it's hard to believe this newly revamped hotel is in the heart of downtown. The down-to-earth feel is carried throughout every inch of the property, from the sophisticated yet whimsical aesthetic in the lobby and guestrooms, to surprising services like the "didn't have room to pack" yoga bag that comes complete with mat and exercise bands. The scene at adjacent bar and restaurant, Sazerac, is a reminder of the city setting, though: it's a hot spot for locals and artsy types during the lively gourmet happy hour. Local musicians often perform in the airy lobby, too.

Being a Mompreneur is a Balancing Act
By Jennifer Schultz
I am a Libra and according to my horoscope sign, represented by scales, I am always looking for balance. This has proven to be my personal truth. Add to that being an entrepreneur and mom, and I am forever seeking the best way to achieve balance in my life.
I guess it all started when I first became a mom and was working full time. I wanted to be that mom that was involved with my child's day to day activities, whether it was making sure cupcakes were made for school, running my daughter to dance class or my son to soccer. So, I needed to save my vacation days for those important school concerts, mommy lunches or class trips. I planned my lunch time around errands that I needed to run for the kids or ran home to throw on a load of was. I even prepped for dinner sometimes if I knew our night was going to be taken up by running from work to pick up my children, eat a quick bite and then head to whatever activity was going on that night.
Now, with starting my own business, the balancing act continues. In some ways, things are easier when it comes to family life – ability to take off when I need to without having to ask someone else or making sure someone at work can back me up, do a load of wash or dishes if I want to and even work in my pajamas if I am not feeling well. Plus, I have the flexibility of being able to work at night to get a head start on my day, because you know what they say – "Work while your competitors are sleeping."
At other times, it seems like I have days that are all about running around and not getting much work done. Maybe I have to take my daughter to college and then pick her up in three hours, and then later that day pick up my son from school and then run back out to religion class.
What I have learned about the balance is, it is ever-evolving. There are definitely those days when everything runs smooth and then someone forgot their math book and it's no big deal, I continue on my merry way. Then there are the days where all the planning in the world just does not seem to help, as I forgot to take out the frozen chicken to defrost for dinner, and the only other choice is cereal or ramen noodles for dinner.
Here is what I have learned during my past year as Mompreneur:
- Keep two separate calendars – one for family activities and one for business activities
- Try to keep "business" hours – whether you don't get started until 10am and end at 4pm, doesn't matter, just trying to have defined hours will help.
- Try not to deep clean the house during prime work time. Doing a load of laundry or filling the dishwasher is good to get you up from your desk, but don't make your whole day become a cleaning day. Save that for evenings or weekends, unless your business model is busier on weekends.
- Enjoy the activities with your children. My son recently started coming home on the school bus as we took him out of aftercare to save money. These few minutes he and I get alone while walking home are not only new, but, create a small pocket of time where we talk about his day.
- Don't beat yourself up. If you don't get everything done on your list for your business because your time was devoted that day to family errands – take a breath and think about all you accomplished for your family that day. You can always get up earlier the next day to complete work you missed.
- Ask for help. Whether it be your significant other, your mom, your best friend or your children, know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
- Know when to stop working. In this digital world, we are always connected. Pick hours or a certain day that you will not work, no matter what. It's important that you don't get burnt out.
- There may be times, when you feel like you are going to pop like a bubble – it's ok to be frustrated. Make sure you are in touch with how you are feeling and take some time to write what's bothering you down on paper. Review the list the next day and that will help you to uncover what you might need to rebalance.
