Oct 20, 2016 - Beechworth
20th October Shepparton to Beechworth… Quite a quick pleasant run today arriving around 11:15 and all set up so lunch was at Noon……. We had dramas with the little Grapefruits phone (no one spotted the deliberate error in the last post I inserted just to make sure you are reading). It would just go black at random so in Shepparton we bought a new one, this is where the problem occurred the new one needs a nano sim so we drove into Telstra to get a new sim and they were really helpful and swapped numbers over and sorted her contacts….

Jul 23, 2013 - Catch-up from Beechworth
Beechworth is a small town of much historic significance, situated in the north-eastern corner of Victoria. It was famous for its major growth during the gold rush days of the mid - 1850s. Many of its historical buildings are well preserved and the town has become a popular tourist destination amidst a growing wine-producing area. M'Home and I were very fortunate to stay a few days of each of several weeks on a 56 acre property six km out of Beechworth called Eagle Ridge. The owner was very much into wildlife and the environment and she had...Jump to full entry

Nov 12, 2012 - A Day in Beechworth
13th November Monday we decided to go for a drive to Beechworth. After programming Brandon [GPS] we set out. Taking us down the Hume freeway we travelled for 65 kms arriving in Beechworth we discovered we could have gone through Wodonga and it would have been a much shorter drive. Sometimes we wonder where he gets his information from. We opted to travel the shorter way back. What a lovely town full of history. After a delicious lunch at the Beechworth bakery we strolled around. Enjoying visiting the Historic Courthouse, Telegraph...Jump to full entry

Jul 28, 2012 - Me and Ned in Beechworth
We had a day trip around the Albury area and ended up in Beechworth – Ned Kelly country. I went through the Beechworth Courthouse where they were preparing for the Ned Kelly Festival next weekend. I was fortunate enough to meet up with Ned and he agreed to get a photo taken with me, lucky man. I ignored the policeman and didn't ask him for a photo – mongrel ! (he said he was used to that) And I talked with Ned's mother Ellen. We also went to the Beechworth Sweet Company and Barry got so excited over the selection of lollies he almost wet...Jump to full entry

3rd January – Up at 7am as we had an 11am flight to Melbourne to catch. Today's the day we meet up with my friends, Jenny and Andrew. I met Jenny on a Mark Warner water sports holiday in Turkey many years ago (the boyfriends we went with long since ditched…), and we used to live in Clapham together. Jenny is originally from New Zealand and settled in Melbourne a few years ago with her English husband, Andrew. I had met there 5 year old son, Ben, when he was just a baby, but had never met 17 month old Jack. I wish Australia wasn't so far...Jump to full entry

The Presence knob adds the right amount of 'attack' ensuring that your bass remains defined even with the most saturated settings. The output level control guarantees that you'll be able to get the distortion you want at any volume level.

Not dirty at all. I like it.
by achilles » Sun Aug 22, 2010 6:34 pmI thought Power Girl #15 was an excellent issue of the series. Winick is doing far more with Kara and her supporting cast in his what 3 issues so far than Palmiotti and Gray did in their 12. Which isn't to say P and G were bad, just that they favored a rather static form of storytelling that didn't really effect the characters, grow them, or change them---at all.
OTOH, Winick gives us the first one of PG's supporting cast I can distinguish from the others apart from Terra of course. And he shows us just how tough and resilient Kara is, and how she can direct a battle, thinking through things rather than just hitting. I get Herald, he's just reflexively anti-DC most days, and really, really hates Winick. But the one or two others who share his view on this issue I don't get.
Sure, there are a couple of minor quibbles, like the Kryptonite thing, which may or may not be Winick forgetting she's immune, (though someone pointed out it might also be Max making her think it was hurting her), or the lack of her putting Crash in the middle of the Atlantic, (which upon actually reading it seemed like it was something that would be a lot easier said than done with a Doomsday level guy---recall that Superman tried to get Doomsday into space and couldn't). But on the whole, this issue advanced Kara's story, presented her as not only a mega powerful hero, but one who had guts and brains to go with it, as well as a certain toughness and willingness to do a few not terribly nice things to win.
How the latter plays out with Nikko remains to be seen, though we seem sure to get him as a continuing character and sidekick to PG from comments elsewhere. Though he is one of many hacker type sidekicks in the DCU these days, he works in context of who PG is and what she's doing, and seems an interesting character in his own right.
And while taking the focus away from Terra takes away all of that relationship stuff that was nice and fun, it also allows more focus on Power Girl herself, and on developing her as a hero.
Perhaps not the best issue of the series, but certainly one of them on the whole. It did what it needed to do and moved the title character and the series along, setting up some good stuff for later issues.
by Flynn the Pirate » Thu Aug 26, 2010 2:53 pm
I agree with you on a lot of this. I thought the endings, both of the fight and the last page itself, were stellar. I'm really excited that this book is being worked back into the larger DC universe, as opposed to just sitting off in its own corner. Not that there's anything wrong with putting in its own sandbox, but having Power Girl interact with Brightest Day opens whole new possibilities for this book.
I'm also thrilled that she's actually getting her own honest-to-goodness cast of characters to work with. Has that ever really been something this character has ever had, outside of Terra?
by Arion » Tue Aug 31, 2010 12:27 pmI haven't read a PG story in ages .
by Flynn the Pirate » Tue Aug 31, 2010 1:12 pm
You're definitely missing out. I'd go out and pick up the last two issues, along with this ones, since they just started a new story arc with a new creative team.
It really is one of the two best DC books.
by achilles » Tue Aug 31, 2010 1:31 pm
She had a 'Lois Lane' character of her own back on Earth-Two whose name I can't recall off hand, but mostly her interactions were with other heroes.
by Herald » Tue Aug 31, 2010 1:48 pm
You're not missing anything in Winick's run. Just the usual Winick misery.
by Flynn the Pirate » Tue Aug 31, 2010 1:53 pm
Yet another point for this book.
by bkthomson » Tue Aug 31, 2010 2:48 pm
Winick is doing a good job on PG, sure it is not the same goofy fun level that Gray and Palimioti but I think what has been done so far has been a nice addition to the character.
by Arion » Tue Aug 31, 2010 5:42 pmOK, so there are different opinions about Winick in this thread. Why that doesn't surprise me?
by IvCNuB4 » Tue Aug 31, 2010 6:39 pm
ITT: Herald admits he gets miserable when it's not all tit jokes. and PG getting her outfit torn off every issue like Palmiotti and Gray did
by Herald » Tue Aug 31, 2010 7:47 pm
I don't consider "Now with the trademark Winick misery!" to be a nice addition to the character...
by Arion » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:20 amI haven't read Gray and Palmiotti run, and I haven't read Winick's run. So I feel like I'm completely neutral about them.
by GLX » Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:17 pm

|For Immediate Release
June 4, 2013
Carol Morris
|Memorial Bridge Float-in to Take Place June 17th
PORTSMOUTH - Archer Western Contractors (AWC) announced today that the float-in of the new Memorial Bridge center span is now scheduled for Monday, June 17th. This change in schedule means that the five-day river closure coordinated with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) will now start at 1 am June 17th and continue through 1 am June 22.
The revised schedule is the result of equipment repairs necessary on one of the large cranes. The crane was supporting work on the north tower construction that is critical to center span float-in when it was taken out of service early Saturday. Delivery of replacement parts was expedited and the crane was moved to the NH State Pier where the repairs will be completed by the end of Tuesday.
Although the four-day turnaround for repairs is relatively fast, the work made the originally scheduled June 10 float-in date impossible to meet. The new date was coordinated with the Coast Guard so that the channel closure would not take place during the weekend.
While the float-in will be delayed, AWC Project Manager Stephen DelGrosso said it is too early to tell if the bridge opening date will be affected. "We still expect to open the bridge to traffic in July," he said.
The USCG communications on the schedule adjustment is attached to this document for the public's information.

They say it's the most important meal of the day, whoever "they" are. Whether it is or not, I agree! I love breakfast. I enjoy morning routines. Coffee brewing, bacon frying, fresh fruit and the plethora of news and food photos streaming on my iPad to get my brain started for the day.
As much as I love making breakfast for myself, I eat out pretty often. I forget sometimes how it feels to create something yourself. I go through spurts of making breakfast every day to stopping by Bojangles every day. My life has no "grey area". I'm either eating really well or really horrible! I could be going for a run after work or being a couch potato.
I used to hate anything other than simple white bread as a kid. Anything with nuts or seeds was gross. I'm now in my thirties and wouldn't be caught dead buying white bread. I've found a love for seeded bread, specifically Eureka! Bread "Seeds the Day". I'm also a sucker for clever names.
Here are some local names and organic brands you'll see throughout:
Cloister Honey | Suarez Bakery | Trader Joe's | Dilworth Coffee | Applegate | Siggi's
Here are some of my proud creations.
1 | toasted bread with whipped cinnamon honey topped with sliced banana, frozen blueberries, fresh raspberries sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and honey drizzle
2 | raspberry black coffee, fresh fruit, slice of pumpkin loaf
3 | oatmeal waffle with fresh raspberries and pecans, organic maple chicken sausage
4 | vanilla icelandic yogurt topped with pumpkin seeds, frozen raspberries, sliced almonds and chia seeds with a side of black coffee and glazed donut
5 | toasted bread with whipped cinnamon honey, fresh fruit and local cottage cheese dusted with fresh ground nutmeg
6 | french toast made with seeded bread drizzled with local honey and a side of frozen blueberries, uncured bacon, small fruit smoothie and black coffee

What 2011 Will Bring
LG and Motorola have had been playing an unusually high-stakes game of 'dueling leaks' this week. First, the LG Star was tipped to Engadget. It was said to have a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, an 8 MP camera and the ability to record in 1080p. The Google logo on the back means a stock version of Android...probably 2.3.
The display is a healthy 4" and the launch date is some time "early 2011". That got the tech blogs salivating, and Motorola was quick to respond with these pictures of a dual-core Olympus smartphone with a giant screen. Rumors gave it Tegra 2, a 4.1" screen, 8 MP camera with 1080p recording, HDMI-out, a front-facing camera and Android 2.2.
Taken spec-by-spec, these phones don't differ much. A 4.1" display versus a 4.0" display. Identical processors and, presumably, RAM. Identical cameras (pending user reports) and front-facing cameras. Chances are, those are the specs we can look to see from most high-end smartphones through to the end of summer 2011. Next year's Evo and Galaxy equivalents may add in some RAM or larger/AMOLED screens, but the hardware will be broadly similar.
Both of these dual-core Superphones look like they will see multi-carrier launches. We can expect a wide spread of carriers for the Olympus. The Star's status as a With Google device makes me think we're unlikely to see it exclusive to any one network.
"4G" is going to become extremely common by the middle of 2011, especially among high-end devices. Which means that manufacturers will need to start looking towards new features to differentiate their products from a growing forest of nigh-identical handsets. Smartphone display size has continued to creep up past the 4" point. I think we'll see a healthy niche of "big" handsets at the 4.3-5" range.
It's worth considering Acer's smartphone/tablet. At 4.8", it is too large to fit in with the main file of smartphones. While most people probably won't want a phone that large, its other neat features (six-axis gyroscope!) and (likely) gaming focus will set it apart from the mass. It won't be the next Galaxy S, but it looks like one of those devices that could build a very loyal base of fans.

Industry: Aerospace
Location: Headquartered in Bellevue, WA
Web Site: http://www.qpm2000.com/
Headquartered in Bellevue, WA, QPM Aerospace is a leading designer and manufacturer of precision machined parts for the aerospace industry. QPM supplies parts to the world's largest commercial aerospace OEM's, including Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier among others, as well as military programs and regional jet manufacturers.
QPM Aerospace spent years on researches to maximize productivity through automation. One of the outcomes is NetInspect, a program that has been spun off and is now offered to other manufacturers for monitoring the capability of their processes. With the system, all traditional measuring devices, such as height gauges, calipers, and micrometers are monitored via network connections, so that all measurements are stored and analyzed.
Since implementing automation, QPM Aerospace's growth has been impressive. In the mid 90s, annual sales came to a little over $400,000. Today, this number has swelled to $18 million. Rising demand from airplane manufacturers has led QPM Aerospace to a conservative forecast of $50 million of annual sales within four years. Through its dramatic success, QPM Aerospace demonstrates that it is within the power of American manufacturers to eliminate the threats posed by foreign competition.

Roadside vendors who sell non-agricultural products are being discriminated against by Palm Beach County`s recently-approved ordinance, which prohibits their use of public rights of way, a Loxahatchee man charged Tuesday.
But county commissioners refused to react to the charges leveled by Frank Haas, whose wife started a short-lived roadside T-shirt business last July. Commissioners challenged him to go to court or wait until the ordinance expires if he wants changes.
Haas asked commissioners to put the ordinance on hold for further study, or at least put the issue to a public referendum.
The ordinance, which was approved in November, requires vendors selling agricultural or prepared food products to get a county permit and carry $200,000 in liability insurance.
It is the latest attempt over the past decade to regulate vendors operating on road rights of way. Commissioners said that after it remains in effect for a year, they will judge its success.
``People who are depending on (vending) for their livelihood are going to be put out of business,`` Haas said, adding that even vendors who qualify under the ordinance are having difficulty getting the permits required to operate.
``You need a Ph.D. to read the forms, a lawyer to understand them, and you need to be an explorer to get through the political maze that`s in them,`` he said.
Haas said the ordinance was enacted more because of pressure from businesses afraid of competition than because of concerns for safety or neighborhood complaints.

see, when you have so many kids, life is just one continuous party.
YIPEE! it's a jolly good time!
that is until I have to rack my brain to come up with yet another gift idea. oh how I despise that part.
and then I find myself pacing the toy section at Target, searching in vain for that perfect present. nope, too many pieces. nah, too baby-ish. no, too big kid-ish. too messy, too expensive, too chintzy, too noisy, too boring, too this, too that, too...
argh. I just don't know.
I've been up and down these aisles 20 stinkin' times, have canvassed the entire store and still, besides a pair of shoes for myself NOTHING!
ACK! what do I get her?
"can I help you find something, ma'am?" inquires the guy in the red shirt and khaki pants.
my sanity. have you seen it? sizzle.
"actually yeah, I need a gift for a 4 year-old girl. I'm like fresh out of ideas." (dude, have you not seen me wandering aimlessly up and down each and every toy aisle for the last 45 minutes straight?)
"well, my daughter turned 4 a few months ago and we bought her the game Zingo!"
Zingo!? bingo! why hadn't this brilliant mind of mine thought of a game?
and she loves it!
we celebrated Phoebe's birthday on sunday at the park.
Lewis and Phoebe gazed at the clouds for a bit.
while Sawyer played a rip-roaring game of croquet.
the spring sproing-y dinosaur was a hit.
while Sydni doted on Scarlett.
and did you know you can buy cupcake icing in a can? that comes with the decorating tips and everything? just squirt and go (and don't forget to wipe.) who cares that it tastes fake. it's all about the presentation. ;)
happy birthday to my big 4 year-old!
oh no! I just realized my birthday is next in line...
but then again, I'm pretty easy to buy for.
because I'm really not that picky.
well, maybe just a little.
okay fine, a lot. ;)

Revision Recap
1. Start the response as if you're replying to a letter (or an email, if that's the form the brief in the exam takes) – and try to remember to sigh it when it's finished.
2. When you discuss the ideas for your show and the storyline, you will need to say
a. how your show uses an ENIGMA CODE – i.e. how it sets up a problem to be solved or an issue to be resolved – probably pre-titles, like
CSI or the first episode of The Killing –
this will act as a hook for the audience.
b. how it fits elements of Todorov's narrative theory – but suggest that you say how there are a series of disruptions (e.g. putting a character in peril, like a cliff-hanger) and states of equilibrium throughout the episode in order to engage the audience so they continue to watch to see how things are resolved.
c. how it fits Levi-Strauss' ideas about binary opposition. Remember, the idea is that conflict drives narrative.
d. you should reference other shows you have seen or know about
3. When you discuss the two or three major characters
a. refer to aspects of characters you have seen in other shows, especially those who have been critical or commercial successes.
b. Think about the representational issues – try to have a strong female character or character from an ethnic minority – although there are some good examples, they do tend to be marginalised on television.
c. you could briefly refer to the other characters
d. explain how they can fit into Propp's character theory – you may have to merge some of his ideas and you may not be able to fit all types.
4. Remember that this is a popular genre across the age ranges, although its primary audience is often male, as reflected in the fact that the majority of the shows feature male lead characters. Not only are there many sub-genres (series that involve legal proceedings, like Silk or the historically set Garrow's Law; series that concentrate on forensics like Silent Witness or CSI; private detective series like Sherlock; series about criminals, like The Sopranos; series that take a broader look at law and order, politics and society, like The Wire) but there are also hybrid series that mix genres, like the paranormal investigations of The X-Files, or the comedy of A Thin Blue Line, or spy series like Spooks.
5. The timing of the show's broadcast is important and the intention is that it should appeal to and be suitable for a family audience. This doesn't mean no violence, just be aware that it should not be gratuitous. Guidelines state that the earlier in the evening a programme is placed, the more suitable it should be for children to watch without an older person. Programmes in later pre-watershed slots may not be suitable for the youngest children or for children to watch without an older person.
6. Therefore, you need to explain that crime shows have been criticised for too much violence and the possible harmful effect on vulnerable viewers, so you have toned down any violent content, EVEN THOUGH, LIKE MEDIA ACADEMICS LIKE DAVID BUCKINGHAM

7. You must make sure that you have no more than three long shots in the storyboards and ensure that the images you draw match your shot description. You ought to have at least one high or low shot so you can explain the significance of the camera angle. If you look at the editing on the Scott and Bailey trailer, you'll notice that straight cuts have been used, but don't shy away from using a dissolve to imply the passing of time. You ought to increase the pace of the editing (i.e. make the shots shorter) when you have an action sequence – and explain this. You'll need one shot with the show's title and a logo for the Crime Channel.
8. Make it easier for the examiner: number your shorts; put in the timings, camera angles
AND distances
and any kind of explanation as to why you've chosen that particular angle/distance and
/ 9. Sound – crescendo = build-up of sound/music so the audience can anticipate something happening; sforzando = sudden sound to shock or emphasise a scream or some diegetic noise. Diegetic = sound that comes from a source within the sequence; non-diegetic = sound imposed on the sequence. If you want music, think how tempo of the music can enhance the excitement of the scene. Remember: major key music usually relate to love, hope, joy and pleasure while minor keys relate to mostly gloomy, sad and anxious emotions. You won't have to pick actual music, but you could explain it in terms of the mood you want to convey – or you could stick with fast-paced music to enhance a chase/action scene…
10. I can't stress enough how vital it is to look at a couple of websites – for
and Sherlock, for example – to see how they are used to promote the shows. Look at various features, especially the
interactive ones that are used to engage the audience and give them a sense of
ownership so they will be more engaged and more likely to watch the show. Suggest
a twitter-style forum page. Look at the way they have links to social
networking sites – and check these out a home, because you will need to know
how they work. Look at the gimmicks these sites use –
clues about the show; information about the characters' backgrounds; virtual
tours around locations; interviews etc etc.
11. In terms of promotion, consider how the Crime Channel will have its own website, which will have a link to the website for your show, which could have links to other Crime Channel shows, so you are constantly cross-promoting each other.
12. Think about uploading the trailer to Youtube.

Development of a supply chain performance measurement model integrable to industry
Dissanayake, Chamila K
MetadataShow full item record
Researchers have claimed that most of the attempts to implement supply chain performance measurement (SCPM) systems fail. Major reasons highlighted state that existing measurement systems do not provide a definite cause–effect relationship among numerous and hierarchical individual performance factors, and the absence of universal consensus regarding suitable measures of SCPM. Many reviews indicate that there's still a little amount of reviews, theory development, framework and cases done on the field compared to empirical research. Also, many measurement systems lacked strategy alignment, a balanced approach and systemic thinking and there is no systematic way to identify the most appropriate metrics for a specific context. The specific purpose of this research therefore is to introduce a systematic mechanism for developing a SCPM model capable of measuring the supply chain (SC) performance internal to an organization using organizational quantitative data. A case study approach is used to demonstrate how to identify the SC performance hierarchy for an organization reflecting the strategic performance areas, and build up the regression relationship for the overall SC performance. Research identified Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model as a comprehensive framework for initiating the model development process; and identified SEM as the estimation technique to address the need of an aggregate measure of overall SC performance and a cause-and-effect relationship. 'Profit' and 'lead time' were selected for the direct performance measurement factors of overall SC performance for the final model in the case study context. Model run results demonstrated the existence of significant positive linear relationships between the SCOR performance categories: reliability, agility, asset management, responsiveness, and the overall SC performance in the given study context. Case study illustrated the mechanism to include or opt out the performance measurement factors from the model, and the managerial survey conducted with the organization established the validity of its final model. Researcher believes that the introduction of this systematic mechanism addressed several gaps in literature while adding to the few real-world case studies of a similar nature.

From Romania:
My three and one-half year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three months ago. His blood glucose was about 270 mg/dl [15 mmol/L] and the HbA1c was 9.7%. At that time, he was on 5 units of Actrapid and 5 units of Actrapid with 6 units of Mixtard, but we gradually decreased the insulin doses, in order to maintain the blood glucose balance. Ten weeks after diagnosis, our little boy went completely off of insulin, and 12 weeks after diagnosis, his HbA1c was 5.6%. Is it possible my son was misdiagnosed?
No, I don't think your son was misdiagnosed because his blood glucose and Hemoglobin A1c levels are, without question, consistent with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
I think you might be advised to keep your son on insulin treatment, even at a very low dosage, to try to prolong your son's honeymoon period. The findings you describe are typical of this honeymoon.

Enjoy the photos...let yourself go a little crazy this Halloween...take a walk on the wildside!

The eye one is most cary!! BrilliantReplyDelete
I'm always amazed by people who have such an amazing ability to be visually creative. I know this is inspiration to many - and that's a good thing. Guess I'm not into Halloween entertaining - bah humbug.ReplyDelete
Seems like you're having a blast with all this spooky creativity. Can't wait to see all the cool things you'll come up with for Thanksgiving. I'm going back to my simple Snickerdoodles cookies and tomorrow will probably make pumpkin pancakes.
I used these for our Halloween party and everyone loved the ideas! Thanks for all of your great ideas :)ReplyDelete
these are adorable i love the idea!ReplyDelete

They were ready to die.
Award-winning NBC News foreign correspondent Richard Engel and his three-man crew were blindfolded, bound and subjected to mock executions during their harrowing five days held captive by sadistic Syrian-government militants.
"You think that they're going to take you outside to execute you. We weren't physically beaten or tortured. It was a lot of psychological torture, threats of being killed," Engel revealed to NBC's "Today" show yesterday in a live interview from Turkey.
"They made us choose which one of us would be shot first and when we refused there were mock shootings," he said while appearing with two of his fellow released captives, NBC producer Ghazi Balkiz and cameraman John Kooistra.
The fourth captive was NBC News Turkey reporter Aziz Akyavas, who separately spoke to reporters.
"They pretended to shoot Ghazi several times," Engel said.
Kooistra said he was ready to meet his end.
"During the ordeal, I made amends with my maker," the cameraman said.
"I made good with myself — I was prepared to die many times."
Engel, 49, said, "We're very happy to be out. The last five days are some days that we would rather forget."
The three men appeared shaggy but relieved after a dramatic escape during a firefight between their captors and Syrian rebels on Monday.
The crew's ordeal began Thursday shortly after they crossed into northwest Syria from Turkey.
While traveling with the rebels, the three were ambushed by up to 15 gun-wielding men in ski masks.
One rebel was executed "on the spot," Engel said.
The rest were thrown into vehicles and moved to safe houses.
The NBC crew was kept together but not allowed to speak.
But the journalists still managed to communicate, peeking out from under their blindfolds when their captors left the room.
"It helped that I was actually captured with them," Balkiz said, "because we kept each other's spirits up."
While no one has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, Engel said the captors were "talking openly about their loyalty to the government" of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and wanted to use the crew members as hostages to win the freedom of forces held by the rebels.
NBC execs said they had no contact with the captors and received no ransom demand while the crew was missing.
The rescue of the four men came while they were being moved to another location.
Their captors ran into an unexpected rebel checkpoint, leading to a dramatic firefight.
Two of the captors were killed while others escaped.
The rebels then released Engel's crew, who returned to Turkey the following day.
At her home in Oyster Bay, LI, Engel's mother, Nina Engel, told The Post she was overjoyed that her son was safe.
NBC "has been fantastic in their support, comfort and reassurance," she said.
Richard Engel has worked for NBC since May 2003 and has reported from across the globe, including in recent years from Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt.

Dying Sungai Golok(kolok) wooing Malaysian tourists again
Sungai Golok: The problems in southern Thailand has taken a toll on this border town which has now become a ghost town awaiting an even painful end.
Once known for its vibrant nightlife, the sporadic bombings in Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala have made Sungai Kolok the last place Malaysians would want to visit.
However, district police chief Col Tangusat Wangsupa insisted that the town is safe for tourists.
"If you feel unsafe, I can arrange for one of my men to accompany you around the town any time of the day," he said during a goodwill visit by Malaysian journalists and Kelantan tourism representatives.
"I have my men at every corner of the street on a 24-hour basis.
"It is perfectly safe," he said, adding that visitors should not be intimidated by their presence.
Tangusat added that local tourism had almost come to a standstill because of the unrest.
The trip was organised by the Kelantan Tourism Action Council, led by its chairman Datuk Abdul Aziz Derashid.
It aimed at boosting both the Kelantan and Thai tourism sectors.
Sungai Golok was once popular with Malaysians who made up almost 9070 of the visitors.
A mere 45-minute drive from Kota Baru, this cowboy town was also a shopping haven which drew more Malaysians on weekends.
For shoe seller Siti Ratcheni Soma, 28, business has been so bad that she is thinking of doing something else.
"I see fewer and fewer people coming over here.
"The presence of the police and soldiers does not help at all." she added.
Noraini Hassan, a local resident, shared the sentiment. She hoped that Sungai Golok would return to its glory days of being the second Haadyai.
"Nowadays, you only see locals here. They are not big spenders like Malaysians," she said.
"If this goes on, I believe that this town will die before the year ends and all of us will suffer."
Narathiwat deputy governor Nipon Narapitakul said government agencies were making efforts to pull in the tourists to the provinces through a promotional blitz.
"We will woo our friends in Kelantan to come here.
"I assure them that it is safe to come here as the violence has gone down."

The towns along the Eastern Cape's Sunshine Coast have been enjoying a major influx of tourists and holidaymakers since the start of the festive season, and local agents are expecting a significant number of property sales to follow.
"St Francis Bay, Jeffrey's Bay, Kenton-on-Sea and Bushman's River are becoming increasingly popular and their populations more than triple over the holiday season," says Brendon Lahana, the Chas Everitt International franchisee in St Francis Bay and Jeffrey's Bay.
"St Francis Bay, for example, hosts some very popular holiday events like Billy's Beach Rave and a New Year's Eve party that keep people coming back year-after-year, and the rental market is extremely busy over the season".
"In addition, this is a peak selling period for us and we expect to conclude between 10 and 15 sales by the end of the holidays, with more sales to follow in late January and February after people have gone home and had time to consider properties they have seen. Rentals here range from R3000 to R15 000 per day in season so many people calculate that if they are going to spend their holidays here it would make more sense to buy".
"And property prices in St Francis start from around R550 000 for a one-bedroom apartment and range all the way up to R23m for an exclusive home on the Canals, so there really is something to suit every type of buyer."
In nearby Jeffrey's Bay, famous for its surfing beaches, large family homes are available for between R2,4m and R5m, Lahana says, and prices for three-bedroom holiday apartments close to the beach start at around R600 000.
Further up the coast, between Port Elizabeth and East London, lie the tiny – and increasingly sought-after – seaside villages of Kenton-on-Sea, Bushmans River, Cannon Rocks and Boknes.
These offer leisure home buyers real hideaways in beautiful natural surroundings, says local Chas Everitt International franchisee Steve Tredoux, and they are increasingly being targeted by high net worth buyers who value their privacy.
Holiday homes in these enclaves are priced from around R800 000 for a three-bedroom cottage to about R2,7m for a five-bedroom, three-bedroom family home with sea views and spacious entertainment areas.
However, Tredoux says, there are also some spectacular luxury homes here that have been built to take advantage of panoramic sea and river views, and prices for these start from around R5m and range up to R10m for a five bedroom, five bathroom lodge on the banks of the Bushman's River, and R12,8m for a six bedroom, six bathroom New Orleans-style home with guest suite and cottages close to the beach in Kenton.
"And now, thanks to our group's recent affiliation to the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) network, we have exceptional opportunities to market such properties to the wealthiest property investors around the world via several global platforms and via a true global network of high-end property brokers."

Park District food plan smart, city-oriented
RPD's bid to bring local food into its facilities should be a model for others to follow
By Shane Nicholson
Managing Editor
Think about the fare on offer at your typical Rockford Park District function. Left underwhelmed by the stock concessions vendor options? Thankfully, RPD agrees.
The district announced last week that it would begin accepting bids on two locations at RPD properties: the Skybox at Sportscore II's Indoor Sports Centers, and at the still under-construction SportsCore Downtown.
"In 2014, the Indoor Sports Center, along with our Sportscore Complexes, were the top visited sites in Rockford, meaning millions of people frequent these two locations all year long. We are looking for a restaurateur who will complement our world-class facilities and enhance these top sports tourism sites by providing a distinctive menu, amazing ambiance, and first-rate customer service," said Jessica Steinberg, RPD's Senior Manager of Operations, in a statement last week.
And it's true. These locations attract loads of out-of-town parents having to entertain kids between games, trying to decide between a third hot dog or a second order of nachos to hold them over until they get back to the familiar options near the East State Street hotel strip.
But suppose they could partake of some selections from local establishments. Suppose they enjoy their grub from Locally Owned Sitdown X. One could imagine they would find time to visit their meal provider's main facility, or perhaps venture out to some more of Rockford's homegrown eateries and forgo the chains nearer their weekend resting point.
A trend has been seen across the country in recent years as sitdown-style mid-market restaurants (your Chili's or Texas Roadhouse stylings) have reeled in their numbers as patrons find more reasons to embrace the local movement, even if they're not locals to the area. The net result is a boon for the communities that, like Rockford, have seen local entrepreneurs and restaurateurs respond: more local jobs, more tax revenue, more money kept in the area instead of being moved on to a corporate ownership group housed in a Delaware entity.
Now we have a local body of government taking up the flag as well. It's a welcome sign of progress for the Rockford area, that the Park District views the prospects of a local vendor being more appealing to its wide range of patrons.
Sources tell The Rock River Times that the groups behind the Prairie Street Brewhouse and the Giovanni's family of restaurants are at the top of the heap in a bidding process set to close Sept. 15. Both would be a massive step up for the Park District, and give visiting parents a better taste of what's available in Rockford than any concession stand could.
RPD should be applauded for this simple, progressive solution, one that will benefit not only its own facilities but also the local business community. Give people in Rockford for just a couple of days at a time more reason to spend money that stays in Rockford when they get back on I-90 and head home.
These types of decisions are the small ones a city can embrace that pay dividends across multiple city industries. Show people what one local industry can offer and they're likely to entertain more, whether it's local shops, music outlets or other entertainment options.
Well done to the Park District for providing such another outlet for local businesses to thrive. And well done to whatever teams win these bids–not only a mutually beneficial solution but a Rockford beneficial one, as well.

I attended the fiscal court meeting, on June 6, and the Taylorsville City Commission meeting, June 7. The funding of EDA was among the first items on the agenda at both.
At the Monday fiscal court meeting, the EDA executive director gave a presentation and then had her supporters express their support of her and the EDA.
After some discussion, the court voted not to fund the EDA and then they moved the $30,000 to the account to fund a consultant for the new planning and zoning laws.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has already said he isn't interested in the Blu-ray disc format, and he recently reaffirmed that position in reply to customer email.
According to Mac Rumors, Mr. Jobs responded to a customer's email asking why the recently updated Mac mini doesn't include a Blu-ray disc drive by stating "Blu-ray is looking more and more like one of the high end audio formats that appeared as the successor to the CD — like it will be beaten by Internet downloadable formats."
He added that the online movie industry is transitioning into free services such as Hulu and rental services like the iTunes Store. "We may see a fast broad move to streamed free and rental content at sufficient quality (at least 720p) to win almost everyone over," Mr. Jobs said.
For customers that have been hoping Apple would eventually add Blu-ray compatible drives to its computers, it looks like they'll be waiting a long time.

With Donald Trump all but wrapping up the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, HBO host Bill Maher bid a fond farewell to the other GOP "douchebag" candidates who have fallen by the wayside during the 2016 primary season.
Modeled after the "In memoriam" clips seen on the Academy Awards, Maher explained, "We say a fond goodbye to the people who made it so memorable, and so please help us right now say goodbye to the people who made this possibly the most f*cked up election ever."
What followed were clips of candidates ranging from Chris Christie looking like a hostage during a Trump speech, a sad Jeb Bush imploring town hall participants to "Please clap," and Carly Fiorina falling off a stage before she and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz fell out of contention.
Watch the video below from HBO:

Investigators combed through a collapsed theater stage at a Southern California high school Sunday, trying to determine why it buckled during a performance that sent 25 students to the hospital with mainly minor injuries.
Police, firefighters and medics responded to a call Saturday night after the wooden stage gave way at Servite High School, an all-boys Catholic school in Anaheim.
About 250 students from nearby Rosary High School, an all-girls sister school, were singing and dancing on the platform when they fell five feet, Anaheim police Lt. Tim Schmidt said.
Injuries included broken bones, bruises and scrapes.
The likely cause appeared to be too many students on stage and too much weight on the platform, Schmidt said. "It was a weight issue," he said.
Inspectors will double-check the school's stage permit to determine if it's up to date. They will also review whether the permit included a weight restriction or a limit on the number of people who could be on stage. The investigation is expected to take two weeks.
The stage was extended out in the 1980s to provide more square footage, Schmidt said. It was the add-on that collapsed.
"We're lucky that no one was seriously injured," he said. "It was a quick, sudden collapse, and the students fell right away."
More than 600 students, parents, faculty and alumni were in the auditorium at the time of the accident.
The students were performing in "Red and Gold," Rosary High's annual musical theater challenge since 1971, in which teams prepare for six weeks to put on choral, dance, drama and other performances, according to the school's website.
"Thank you for your prayers and support during this time," Rosary Principal Judy Luttrell said in a statement posted on the school's website after the collapse. "We ask that you continue to pray for our students. We thank you all, the Servite community, and the responders for their calm assistance."
In a statement, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange said it was "an unfortunate accident." The diocese said an internal investigation was underway.
Servite High School was founded in 1958. Its sister school, Rosary, opened in 1965.

The Synagogue erected between 1861 and 1863 is the outstanding masterpiece of the Hungarian romantic architecture.
It was by designed by Ludwig Förster, who was among others the designer of the Synagogue in the Dohány Street of Budapest as well.
The Synagogue of Miskolc is the largest living, operating church building in the region.
The neo-Romanesque-Moresque church having its east front on the Kazinczy Street was designed by Ludwig Förster (1797-1863), Viennese architect, renowned as the designer of the Synagogue in the Dohány Street of Budapest. The building works were carried out between 1856 and 1863. The close relative of the building is the Synagogue in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, also the masterpiece of Förster.
The three-naved, basilica-type arrangement is visible also on the appearance of the building: the middle projection on the main façade closed with low bent pediment rises above the side-aisles. At the level of the lofts – except for the foursome opening above the main entrance – the walls are broken through by triple and on the side façade by twin-windows.
On the east and west main façade we see rosettes in Moorish style, ornamented with arabesques. The facades are closed by arcading surbases. The interior is divided by slim cast iron clustered columns to wider main and narrower side aisles, each covered by 3 Bohemian vaults also among iron vaults.
Among the clustered columns above the entrance hall and in the side aisles, lofts for women were established, supported by iron columns. In the interior we can see the columned, eclectic Thora holder, the hazzan's pulpit and in the middle the bima (Thora reading table) encompassed with cast iron fence, and candelabra at the corners.
The involute, orientally ornamented wall-painting is the masterpiece of M. Horowitz. At the gate wings of the main entrance and the staircases meander, foliated neo-Romanesque armatures are visible.

The 2017 Rockefeller Christmas Tree Will Be From State College
Sure it's not even Halloween yet, but as temps drop the Rockefeller Center is gearing up for its annual celebration of the holidays. At the center of the New York City display is one of the most photographed trees each Christmas, and this year's is from close to home.
The Rockefeller Center revealed this afternoon that State College is the home of the next massive Norway Spruce that will decorate Midtown Manhattan this year.
If you guessed State College, PA, you got it! Join us November 10th as we welcome this year's #RockCenterXMAS Tree to the Plaza.
— Rockefeller Center (@rockcenternyc) October 30, 2017
The Rockefeller Center dropped a few hints on Twitter throughout the day as it teased the announcement of where the massive tree currently roots. Trained eyes can see Beaver Stadium looming in the background of the initial tweet and photo of the tree, but the hints got more and more specific for those who missed that nugget.

Spotted: Beaver Stadium.
Here are some other hints posted on the Rockefeller Center account before the announcement was made:
Days are spent listening to fans cheer on their team at a football game
For which the home team's mascot & nearby mountain share a name.
— Rockefeller Center (@rockcenternyc) October 30, 2017
It is here that the largest university creamery can be found
But this location is most known for its blue & white devotion, just ask around!
— Rockefeller Center (@rockcenternyc) October 30, 2017
Crews will cut down the pine on November 9 and transport it to New York, arriving on November 11. Once erected and decorated, the annual tree lighting ceremony will take place on November 29.
The tree will remain on display until January 7, at which point it will be taken down and turned into lumber that will be donated to Habitat for Humanity. So not only will the State College spruce be the center of attention for millions of holiday visitors, but also the support system for a family in need.
