There's something fun about a tent. Even a little two-man tent has the feeling of adventure and something out of the ordinary. These days 'tent' can mean a lot more than the structure you put up in the backyard, the one that collapsed in the rain.
Tents have come up in the world.
Now canvas is not the only material you can make a tent from, there's plenty you can do with a tent. Many people are starting to think about the things they could do with a semi permanent tent structures because it's so much more flexible than a portacabin.
Different shapes, sizes and so many options
Just to take the lid of any preconceived ideas you might have of what a tent looks like, how about this? You can have a multi-story tent, with a beautiful balcony right around the first floor. Imagine that for a rainy day at the races.
The shape you're thinking of is known in the business as Clearspan. Its name comes from the tent structure which has no supporting poles or pillars in the inside no matter how big it is. These can be semi-circular, but they don't have to be. They can be shaped like the traditional kids drawing of a house, and they can come in many sizes from small to degree ceremony hall sized. These tents can be big enough to need a crane to put them up.
As these tents are really like a building without a foundation, they have to be cool in the summer heated in the winter. And to top it off, they must be strong enough to stand a couple of tons of snow on the roof. The word tent just took on a new meaning.

IRS Still Inattentive to Whistleblower Program Deficiencies, TIGTA Says
by Jeremiah Coder
Well over a year after an oversight report on the IRS Whistleblower Office was expected to be released, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration on May 10 finally made its findings public. Delivering more bad news about the Service's handling of the whistleblower program, the TIGTA report says that the IRS continues to experience "internal control weaknesses on the processing of whistleblower claims."
Examining the IRS Whistleblower Office was part of TIGTA's fiscal 2011 audit plan, which established the audit objective: "At the suggestion of the Congress, determine whether the IRS has taken effective corrective actions to address previously identified weaknesses in processing claims from whistleblowers. Specifically, determine if the Whistleblower Office's new procedures are contrary to Congress' intent and will deter whistleblowers from filing claims."
However, the report simply followed up its 2009 findings, rather than following the audit plan, and concluded that the IRS has yet to fix its internal systems to ensure that whistleblower cases are properly handled. "Corrective actions taken [by the IRS] have not been sufficient to appropriately accomplish the mission of the Whistleblower Program," TIGTA wrote. (For the 2012 TIGTA report, 2012-30-045, see Doc 2012-10018. For the 2009 TIGTA report, 2009-30-114, see Doc 2009-22190 or 2009 TNT 193-21.)
In particular, TIGTA said that the IRS Whistleblower Office has failed to "instruct employees to review the received date of a claim" in order to give proper data to internal and external stakeholders. And the report noted that the audit team was "unable to validate the accuracy of the received date [from the IRS] because independent and direct access to the case management system was denied."
In fact, TIGTA said it could not assure the public of the overall reliability of the IRS Whistleblower Office's information management system because the Service denied a request for direct access to the system, despite explicit statutory authority giving TIGTA access.
IRS spokesperson Michelle Eldridge countered the criticism. Addressing the recommendations from TIGTA and the GAO, Eldridge told Tax Analysts, "The IRS recognizes that improvements can be made in collection and the use of data in our management information system and that more can be done to oversee the evaluation of whistleblower claims." She added that the Whistleblower Office "is implementing several of these recommendations."
Timeliness Concerns
Senate Finance Committee member Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in a release said that "this report confirms my concern that the IRS isn't serious about processing whistleblower claims in a timely way," adding that "open-ended time frames don't get the job done." In contrast, "taxpayers are subject to strict deadlines and subject to stiff penalties for foot-dragging with the IRS," he said, meaning that "the accountability is one-sided."
TIGTA declined to make any recommendations to the IRS because the Service says it is still implementing the Government Accountability Office recommendations. The IRS seems to be taking its time with that process, saying that it intends to have changes in response to the GAO analysis in place only by the middle of October, 14 months after GAO's report and several months after its initial mid-spring goal. The IRS said it was waiting in order to incorporate comments from both GAO and TIGTA in its processing changes.
The TIGTA report comes after the GAO provided its own blistering assessment of how the IRS Whistleblower Office has operated since its creation after the 2006 changes to section 7623. GAO listed numerous factors that it said have hindered timely processing of claims and external communication with whistleblowers and their representatives. GAO tracks changes made in response to its recommendations, but its website does not yet indicate whether the IRS has implemented any. (For GAO-11-683, see Doc 2011-19195 or 2011 TNT 176-59. For prior coverage, see Doc
2011-19188 or 2011 TNT 176-3.)
Much of the criticism surrounding the IRS and the whistleblower program has centered on the time allegedly needed by the government to process cases and provide appeals rights of the affected taxpayers. TIGTA agreed that "timeliness standards for processing claims are not sufficient and consistent," and said that coordination with the operating divisions fails to "emphasize processing whistleblower claims timely." For example, the Whistleblower Office has no timeliness standard for providing section 7623(b) whistleblowers with a claim acknowledgement letter, or for issuing rejection
letters, the report stated. That contrasts with the process for section 7623(a) claims and with the limited period the Service gives whistleblowers to respond to IRS correspondence.
Gregory S. Lynam of the Ferraro Law Firm said that much of the blame for the delay rests not with the Whistleblower Office but with the subject matter experts (SMEs) and Chief Counsel attorneys who review the cases after intake before passing them along to the field. While the Whistleblower Office tries to pass cases along to SMEs within 60 days of receipt, "there is no control, and no consequence, for cases sitting on SME desks for literally years," he said. Lynam's recommendation is to eliminate SME review in its entirety.
"SMEs and Chief Counsel's Office must be held accountable for grossly negligent
delays," Lynam said, because "there is no mechanism to prevent the statute of limitations
from running" while under that review. "If the IRS cannot review whistleblower material in a timely manner, at the very least, the IRS should seek statute extensions and prevent
audit closures while reviewing whistleblower claims," he said.
IRS Ignoring Advice?
Grassley has expressed deep disappointment with the current situation. He recently chided the IRS for its slow response to the GAO's concerns about handling whistleblower cases, writing that "the lack of progress is demoralizing whistleblowers so that I am now concerned that whistleblowers will stop coming forward." (For the letter, see Doc 2012-9420 or 2012 TNT 86-33. For prior coverage, see Doc 2012-9702 or 2012 TNT 89-1.)
The potential federal income from the revised whistleblower program is substantial. TIGTA said in its report that section 7623(b) has "resulted in an immediate increase in high-dollar claims submitted to the IRS, some alleging hundreds of millions in tax noncompliance." Because section 7623(b) targets upper-earning taxpayers and businesses, the seeming ambivalence the IRS shows toward whistleblowers puts the government at odds with the administration's goals of making high-income taxpayers pay more and reducing the tax gap.
"President Obama should make [the whistleblower program] a priority," Grassley said. "While he promotes higher taxes on millionaires, his own administration is allowing big-dollar tax cheating to continue by letting whistleblower cases sit on the shelf. He could do a lot for tax compliance by lighting a fire under the IRS on whistleblowers."
Tax evasion continues while "whistleblowers who are trying to expose the wrongdoing are left twisting in the wind," Grassley said. "If the IRS and the Treasury Department really want to close the tax gap, they need to focus on cleaning up the processing of claims and issuing awards," he said. "For example, the whistleblower office director's approval of an award apparently has to be reviewed by an executive committee before a whistleblower can be paid. As I said in my letter last week, the IRS needs to get the process moving."
Scott A. Knott of the Ferraro Law Firm agreed with TIGTA that the IRS needs to improve the timely and effective processing of whistleblower cases. However, more attention should be given to the conclusion in TIGTA's 2006 report that those cases were highly efficient from an IRS resource perspective and that the program needed more structure to maximize its results, he said.
"It is important to continuously evaluate the performance of everyone in the IRS whose scope of work affects whistleblower claims," Knott said. "Based on their own data, the IRS should be doubling down on whistleblower cases not just as an enforcement tool, but as a means to discourage noncompliance." One frustrated whistleblower told Tax Analysts that the report's delay was a "detriment to Congress, U.S. taxpayers, and IRS whistleblowers" and would deter future whistleblowers from filing claims.
In response to the draft report, the IRS told the TIGTA audit team that the Service has implemented the new E-Trak case information management system since the 2009 report and that it is working to improve the system.

The trends and tendencies are moving toward quick or instant gratification and consumption. Fast food, instant coffee … and few seems to have the time to wait for the sublime experience …
A lot of this is contemplated openly by choice; wines are consumed earlier, often just after the release – without taking the time to mature the wine – let alone waiting until the wine is fully mature after perhaps 20 years of cellaring.
This is the choise of the modern world – and old collectors like me who love mature wines are saddened by this development, as I feel that most wines are consumed too early missing out on the ultimate experience of complexity.
However – this is how the world is today – and time seem to be the limiting ressource for most people .. hence instant gratification!
This does however pose another – and for me more serious problem – the fact that some producers seem to adapt the vinification towards instant or very early consumption – thus enforcing the tendency!
Instant Burgs!
I see more and more wines apparently made for early enjoyment and this does worry me, as one would expect that some of these will age rather rapidly – at the risk of developing less complexity than wines made for maturing.
I have seen quite some examples of this tendency over the last 15 years as the wines seem to age without maturing properly.
By this I mean – these wines age rather rapidly, seemingly without the time to develop full complexity .. as the wines start to show signs of decay or even collapse before reaching what I would call maturity, let alone being fully mature.
These wines will presumably never offer the full complexity of a fully mature Burgundy, as the wine apparently run out of steam well before they are fully mature – with the fruit retracting from the wine – or even worse in decay and or marked by oxidation.
The implcations of Instant Burgs
The thought of Instant Burgs can be very enticing – yet this could be the end of classic and mature Burgundies as we know and love them.
My experience with some of these early drinking Burgundies – could be a combination of relatively short elevage, low sulphur and low extraction – show that the point of maturing these often can be questionable. The tradeoffs often are loss of fruit and freshness – that will retract faster than maturity and complexity is gained. Hence enjoying the wines in their youth could well prove to be the best option – enforcing the tendency of early consumption.
A parallel to white Burgundies is somehow obvious – and should be seen as a strong and flashing warning light. The premox problems were, in my view, partly caused by the quest for earlier drinkability – i.e. to provide the consumers with instant gratification. In the end the consequences have been far more severe and has changed the drinking behaviour towards even earlier consumption due to the fear of premox …
Think before you buy!
If you drink and like your Burgundies young – within the first 5 years or so – then probably this tendency will not worry you, but perhaps it should!
The tendency is in fact changing the style and tradition of the Burgundian wines, and in the end the making of Instant Burgs could change the wines in a way that limits the ultimate complexity of the Burgundies as it diminish the impression and expression of the terroir …
Why pay 500 Euro for a grand cru when the complexity never unfolds, and the terroir is never expressed fully?
Whats the point of buying a Ferrari, if you are only driving in the very center of London!
I will return to this topic during 2018 – to explore and discuss further ..

"It's beautiful, and I think that's why we call it the crown and jewel of Lemont. . . . It's a gathering place. It's a great place to have, because there is a great sense of community in Lemont."
That's what the chairperson of the Lemont, Pennsylvania Village Association has to say about their town's granary, which has been gradually and painstakingly restored since the town bought it in the mid-'90s. This beautiful building has become a central community gathering place. They have an annual Christmas market with music, spirits, and local artists' wares! Haunted houses! Weddings! Concerts! Gourmet dinners! A 5K run! All taking place at--and funding the restoration of--this beautiful granary.
The thing is: in Sturgeon Bay, the restoration of our granary is already paid for. More than $1.5 million has been pledged specifically for this purpose. We already have an iconic building in the center of our town. Don't we want to save it?
I do.

Everyone is supposed to do the thing they're good at doing, whether two-part harmony, or rage.
Let me be the angry one. I'm angry enough for the both of us. I'm good at it. I've been angry since I was born the month Jimmy Dean sang Big Bad John all the way to number one.
The kitchen floor—ours is made of maple barn siding—that is not how to break a jar of honey. Real anger is smashing it on the ceramic counter beside the sink where we washed your hair when your left arm was mangled somersaulting with your horse.
It never would have happened if you hadn't named him Husband.
Hungry for love? Lots of bitter suck apples on this old tree. If you chew them slow enough the bruised ones turn to hard cider when you pout.
The secret to life is lettuce and propane. Why not make a salad and listen to Simon and Garfunkel while I go outside and fire up the anger?
Put down that gun, give me the knife. Your mother is dead. Your father is dead. Nothing to be done about that. But if you want the world to suffer as much as you then I'm your man. Just say the word and I'll crash that truck into the boy who pissed you off when you were eleven.
That fucking jar of honey…You call that anger? My grandmother can rage better than that with one hand tied behind her back and sick, diabetic feet that bleed when you look at them. Grandma Betty is nearing a hundred—it's hard to kill a prick, her words.
I know anger is your right, but so is making do. Life is a mess, but it's a lovely one. The floor never tasted so good.

I have a severe case of gold fever! Gold has been the hottest thing on scrapbook pages for more than a year and there's no sign of weakening. Right now, shiny gold foil paper is the latest trend item, but gold vellum is still holding strong.
Chickaniddy Crafts gold foil paper is one of my new favorites. It's a classic! I love to use it for die cutting small accents to my pages.
I first spotted this trend at the time of CHA Summer 2012. American Crafts brand Dear Lizzy, with famous front figure Elizabeth Kartchner, were releasing a gold polka dot vellum within the 5th and Frolic collection!
Not only was it a sheet of vellum, a paper type that made a big come back at that time and still is very much on trend, and not only were there polka dots in the design, which still is a very trendy pattern, it was GOLD! That shiny yellow substance lit up my eyes. I wanted it. I wanted more. Gold! It made me swoon, dance, laugh, squeal and acting silly in all kinds of ways! LOL!
And in the following months I hoarded as much as I could get of that gold polka dot vellum, deciding I would need no less than a life time stash of this classical piece. That was the right decision, because I am still using it on several projects every month.
The Dear Lizzy gold polka dot vellum is sold out everywhere and, sadly, discontinued. Fortunately, WRMK picked up that torch and they now have an entire line of metallic vellum sheets in gold, silver and copper. When I write this, Scrapbook.com have these vellum designs in stock. Don't delay too long to get them because, just as the Dear Lizzy vellum, they might be gone forever soon.
But one golden piece wasn't enough for me. After New Year's that same year, I started to use more and more gold in my projects. Here are a couple of the scrapbook pages I made back then. They are made from my very first Scrap Stash Kit 'Going For Gold', with gold, accented with greens like emerald (Pantone Color of the Year 2013!). You can spot pieces of the gold polka dot vellum on all of these pages.
Smart tip! In fact, if you look at all the pages in this article, I have a small selection of classical golden items in my stash, that are used over and over but with different colors and products. You don't have to buy it all, to follow a new trend. Choose wisely among the many products and you can stretch your stash. A little goes a long way.
This first layout (below), Country House morning, was featured on Two Peas' blog in February 2013. Here, I used some very old gold paper that I found in my stash, together with gold cord for the tag made from a Christmas paper from Webster's Pages. The title is made from golden glitter thickers and gold letter tiles from that very first golden collection from Dear Lizzy and American Crafts.
You can also spot some gold pearl stickers, a golden leaf and flower from Webster's Pages along with golden sequins and glitter tape. Yes, I really dug deep in my old stash to get as much golden items as possible because there weren't too many gold products on the market at that time.
Here's another page from that same series of New Year's Day story. Do you recognize that beautiful golden reindeer overlay from Hambly Studios? They closed down production the other year and are sorely missed. The designer, Allison Kreft is now making collections for Webster's Pages.
The wood veneer pieces (another hot novelty at CHA Summer 2012) are painted with my favorite gold mist ever: Heidi Swapp's Color Shine, Golden Lamé:
I continued to use gold through 2013. Here's a layout from September (The Autumn Twist Scrap Stash Kit). You can see how gorgeous the gold accents look with the deep orange and yellow autumn colors!
I am not done with gold, far from it. Here's a page from January 2014 (the Star Bright Scrap Stash Kit) where I used gold along with colors reminding of Radiant Orchid (Pantone's color of the year 2014).
From the same kit, I used gold together with pink for a more girly, but still elegant, look.
My final example is from the March Scrap Stash Kit Jackpot where we are working with the rainbow colors (huge trend this spring). On this page, gold is just an accent that highlights the other colors on the page.

Watching Amy Staats in her solo show, Cat-her-in-e, is like watching an entire collection of home movies squeezed into one body. Playing all of her relatives, she shrinks into shy, scared children, pulls her neck back to become an awkward, tall teen, and opens her eyes and arms to become a booming stepmom. More important than the skilled shape-shifting, however, is the overwhelming layer of nostalgia that hovers over Staats's performance. As it follows Amy's (her character's name) early reverence and later gratitude for her older cousin, Catherine, Staats's play is literally a thank you card: it begins and ends as she perches in front of a computer, writing to thank Catherine for her wedding gift.
Narrating one's youth is a familiar dramatic formula with a successful history, ranging from A Christmas Story to The Wonder Years. With that in mind, Staats isn't embarking on a particularly innovative or challenging mission. Hindsight almost guarantees hilarity and insight. Perhaps this is why the show is far more successful in its childhood portions. When everyone grows up, the play loses its pace and its place a bit.
We meet Catherine, a reclusive and aggressive type with a penchant for imaginative games and stories, when a 4-year-old Amy visits her relatives for Christmas. Catherine is 12 and not exactly an inspiring personality: she cheats at the Barbie Olympics and chases after her young cousins' dolls with a toy's severed head.
Nonetheless, the young Amy and her 5-year-old sister, Susannah, are obsessed with their older cousin and the schemes she weaves. They beg her to play and bait her to add more unusual details to her tales. The show is fueled by what is either Staats's fabulous memory or meticulous attention to fabricating details. The rules and intricacies of every game are explained to comical and touching effect, while her reminiscing zeroes in on the slightest sights and sounds of her youth.
Staats has a knack for nailing personal quirks and expressions, and it comes through in her multiple roles. To distinguish between family members, she assigns each one a particular (and usually unflatteringly funny) body language. It would be mere ventriloquism, however, if Staats just stuck to these usual postures. Instead, she takes the impressions a step further and ages each character as time goes on. Slightly, a sister's boyish slouching straightens, her own squeaky voice clears up, and her aunt's tight-faced squint seems to gradually pull her skin further and further inward.
With its canary-yellow color, boxy outline, and cinched empire waist, Staats's dress is both childish and womanly at the same time, allowing her to jump from Aunt Anne to a baby version of herself in a beat. Usually, the older women place their hands on their hips in some way, accentuating a shapelier figure, while the kids awkwardly slump in their bodies.
Of course, as the characters grow up, talk of marriages and careers replaces playtime. While Amy has started acting in New York and has seen some success, a thirty-something Catherine is living alone with her cats and still trying to put a medical school application together.
When an adult Amy invites herself over to her aunt's house after not visiting for five years, she feels awkward and unwelcome. "I realize I am trespassing," she says. The statement raises an interesting question: is the play itself a violation of privacy? While thanking her older cousin, Staats makes the contrast between Amy's exciting city life and Catherine's plateau so obvious that the resulting portrait of her cousin is far from flattering.
Ironically, the play seems most condescending when Amy tries to express her gratitude. The script sometimes treats her success as Catherine's biggest accomplishment. She explains that "61% of the things I've done in my life have been influenced by you."
This self-indulgence is the play's biggest flaw. It's reminiscent of the adage: "Enough about me. What do you think about me?" The audience is supposed to care about Catherine, but she fades in and out of the picture too much for us to truly understand her. Instead, we are left with a coming-of-age story that is mostly about Amy. It's an entertaining and often smart piece of theater, but perhaps Cat-her-in-e is the wrong title.

Good Thursday Mystical Beings!
I recently discovered the most wonderful place on Ball State's otherwise dreary campus, thanks to my dearest Fletcher. It is especially relevant in this time of bitter cold and snow. Girlicorns do not deal well with sub-zero temperatures, trust me.
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen me post this picture of my secret hideaway:
If you don't follow me on Instagram, SHAME. Are we even friends?
If it is just a horrible mistake that you aren't following me, I'm @hannahgbishop.
I forgive you.
Ah yes, the greenhouse. The Orchid Greenhouse is nestled gracefully between the small but charming Christy Woods and the power plant. It is a little difficult to get to due to all the construction over by West Quad but it is SO worth it.
It may be cold outside, but inside the greenhouse is warm. Like, 78 degrees warm.
The greenhouse is divided into three rooms, the first of which has a Tropical Rainforest climate. AKA actual heaven. It comes complete with a turtle and various types of frogs.
I named the turtle Harry.
Fletch and I sat in this room on a bench for a good 45 minutes just being warm
The next room is the biggest, and holds all of the flowers and plants you could ever imagine. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the smell, which is GLORIOUS.
Whoops, found another bench to sit on.
It's weird how out of touch we are with nature we are as human beings. Going to this place grounds you completely.
Again, it's 78 degrees in this room.
Also, there are more species of plant then you have ever seen in your entire life.
One of the most interesting things I discovered were these small pieces of bark with individual plants on them, fastened onto a metal grate.
Each piece is basically an entire world, on one piece of bark. They fascinate me.
Now last but not least, we are back to this room.
My favorite room. They call this "The Cold Room" (63 degrees) and it mimics the environment of an Ethiopian Cloud Forest.
It. Is. MAGICAL.
Like actually though, I think fairies live in here.
I used to be absolutely OBSESSED with fairies when I was little, and my childhood friend Sarah can definitely attest to that. I totally believed that they were real. I thought that one day I would discover them in the forest and they would take me to their kingdom.
But just LOOK at that magical moss overlooking a small stream. Fairies must live here.
They live in the tendrils of this hanging plant, for sure.
And this waterfall is definitely holding some secrets of it's own.
If you're looking for a relaxing trip to paradise here on Ball State's campus, visit the Orchid Greenhouse. Also, bring cash, because they take donations!
They even have some volunteer opportunities if you're looking for something to do with your extra time.
You'll know where to find me.
Shout out to Fletch for being the best companion a Unicorn could ask for.
My next post will be very exciting, because I will be in DISNEY WORLD.
Glitter and Rainbows,

Unlike 2018, this now means that you only need to purchase one jersey in 2019. To go with this initiative, the MC has also reconsidered the 'definition' of a Senior Referee to be: Senior status will be granted to any referee who is appointed to and officiates: A minimum of three (3) Open 2 Men's or Div 2 Women's matches or higher in any single season. Excludes Touch Judging. Previously identified Senior referees from Season 2018 will retain their Senior Status and are eligible for use of the senior jersey. Receipt of approval by the MC in cooperation with the Coaching and Development Manager that your performance, actions and behaviour when representing the Association is suitable to receive such recognition. If you are of the opinion that you belong in this particular group (past or present), we require you to reply immediately, indicating the size and quantity of the Senior Jerseys you would like to order. As we need to order these as a 'special' run and so as to achieve a timely delivery, you will only have until Sunday 9th December to place your order. The MC will consider your application based on your specific history with our Association and, only if denied, we will advise you of the decision. Please note that the wearing of the Senior jersey is not compulsory and you may choose to wear the standard uniform if preferred.

6 Insanely Romantic Italian Honeymoon Destinations
One thing that's almost as important as the wedding itself is the honeymoon that follows. Couples for ages have sought out distant lands to enjoy their first days of matrimonial bliss. Italy is one country that really amps up the romance with breathtaking views, stunning architecture and some of the best food in the world. The country is ripe with romantic opportunity, and you don't even have to look very hard for it. The most romantic Italian honeymoon destinations in no particular order are:
We've got 2 words for you: Venetian gondola. The gondola that navigates down the canals of Venice is iconic, featured in many motion pictures, television shows, books and more. As you gently sail by the city's most appealing attractions, you'll get really well-acquainted with the old-school charm that Venice has held onto over the centuries.
The vineyards of Florence provide an abundance of delicious wine in the heart of the Tuscany region, making it a perfect destination for wine-loving couples. A short bike ride into the countryside will give you the chance to catch some of the most stunning views in Italy, including historic castles and olive groves that extend as far as the eye can see. Many lovers also partake in the tradition of throwing keys off the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, a romantic tradition that's endured for many years.
This coastline destination is the place to be if stunning views are at the top of your priority list. Not only do you get to see what are likely the most insane views in all of Italy, you get to be right at the center of the country's most innovative and world renowned culinary activities. And of course, you can't miss out on the best pizzas that you'll ever taste! Naples is also host to some of the most intriguing historical sites like Pompeii, which is absolutely worth spending an afternoon.
Capri Islands
Speaking of Naples, let's talk about the islands located on the Bay of Naples. The Capri Islands offer anything that you could ever dream of, from natural charm to designer destinations that are guaranteed to enthrall your senses. The Blue Grotto tour is really where the caves look as if they're glowing. After even the briefest stay, you will no longer wonder why the Capri Islands are often referred to as "a real-life fairy land."
This harbor village is kind of like a hidden gem, and it's definitely worth seeking out. Portofino combines old-world rustic charm with modern-day influences to create a village that is truly a sight to behold. You can walk along the waterfront without worrying about crowds in this spot with only 500 residents. If you want all of the romance and passion of Italy without the stress of bigger cities, look no further than Portofino.
Waterfalls, scenic strolls and thermal springs make Tivoli a place that will remain in your memories for the rest of your life. Though the town is quite "quaint," it is bursting with the same kind of appeal that draws so many visitors to bigger cities like Naples and Florence.

The McDonald's mobile app works pretty well and has many features unique to this mega-chain. In addition to the requisite specials and locator is the ability not only to order food but to track your arrival at the restaurant for car-side delivery (if your local store is so-equipped.) For more on our experience with the McDonald's mobile app, read on.
I just had to share this adorable kid's-sized order of chips from Chipotle. What a cute little bag. And you may be surprised to learn that there was a decent amount of chips inside, maybe 15 or so. Plenty for one person.
Bookending this post are obligatory shots of an international Big Mac, this time from Madrid, Spain. I found this particular sandwich to lean more toward the vinegar side for their Special Sauce. The effect was a fast food burger that was rather bland in flavor. I lean on the sweetness and tang of the Special Sauce to offset the very dull taste of McDonald's standard burger patties. That was lacking here. Oh well, the worst Big Mac is still better than a lot of other foods!
Let's take a look at the menu:
For a limited time, McDonald's rolled out another food item with a name that's quite a mouthful: Sweet N' Spicy Honey BBQ Glazed Tenders. Whew. The marketing says these are "hand-tossed and glazed to order." Maybe, but what are these like in real life?
El Pollo Loco recently introduced a series of $5 "Craveable Combos" - each with a main menu item plus a side of chips and a soft drink. There are four such combos right now:
Above and below are pics of the burrito version.
Feast your eyes on the most perfectly prepared McDonald's fries I have had in ages. Where did I find such wonderful, golden brown, crispy delight? At DFW airport in Terminal C. Wow. I probably hit it just right, but they were ON THEIR GAME that day. Outstanding.
Since 2000, Fast Food Source has been the premier independent site dedicated to fast food lovers, offering fast food restaurant menus, and nutrition information, as well as fast food blogs, articles, forums, and fast food industry news. We offer fast food location information for over 50 cities and more than 80 fast food chains.

gingerbeardman started following Trickster
Hi gingerbreadman, Apologies for the late reply. I've looked everywhere for the Amiga Action and Amiga User International mags that I'm missing, to no avail. Let me know if you do go ahead with the order. I can see a number of the Amiga User International mags that I need at RetroGamingWorld, so that's what I'd start with. Cheers.
Thanks Kiwi! That's super helpful. To be clear Gingerbeardman, 1 out of the 10 magazines is in the older A4 format, whereas the other 9 will need an A3 scanner to capture properly.
I'm afraid I have no idea. I owned a lot of Amiga magazines in my youth, but sadly (aaarrrgghhhh!!!!) threw them all out when I got married. I didn't even realise that UK magazines had different dimensions until Kitsunebi informed me.
Hi Gingerbeardman (great name by the way)! Thank you very much for offering to help. I of course would prefer for any scans to be up to the standard of retromags to give something back to this community, but selfishly would accept any clean and legible scans. If you're up for it, there are a bunch of Amiga User International magazines at the Retro Gaming World shop in Stafford. I would buy 10 of them to start with and get them sent to your address. Please message me your address if this all still sounds good to you. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. I've checked out OutOfPrintArchive, but they seem so meticulous that they wouldn't get to any magazines I send them for years. Also seem very focused on Nintendo and Sega. If anyone from the UK stumbles across this topic and wants to scan some magazines, please get in touch with me.

Any scanners in the UK?
Trickster posted a topic in Magazine TalkThere are some very particular UK magazine scans that I really want to get my hands on. I can actually find quite a few of them for sale in the UK, but getting them shipped to Australia would cost a fortune. Is there anyone on this site that lives in the UK and would like to take shipment of some Amiga and Multi-Format magazines for scanning? My main priorities are to get scans of the following: 43 missing Computer & Video Games magazines 35 missing Amiga User International magazines 24 missing Amiga Action magazines I've noticed today that retrogamingworld have 16 of the missing Amiga User International mags. I'd pay for them if there's someone willing. I can also see a few of the Amiga Actions at Sell My Retro. Cheers, Tricky.
Nicely spotted Flicky! Well I guess that settles that. Thank you!
Actually, I think I can answer this myself. In issue #163, it has a section showing recently reviewed games, including some that were reviewed in #162. I guess it's just a very hard to find issue!
C&VG Issue #162
Trickster posted a topic in Magazine TalkDoes anyone know if this issue ever actually existed? It seems strange to me that I can't find anything about it anywhere. Even stranger is that Kiwi managed to scan all the issues either side of it, and Sega Retro has completely different scans of all issues either side of it too. Why is this issue missing everywhere? Can anyone find a cover for it? It would have been the May 1995 issue. Cheers, Tricky
Games you are currently playing or recently beatenI'm the opposite. When I start a game...I finish it. Well, for modern games anyway. Once you go back to the 80s, games were often impossible to finish or indeed never ended.
Games you are currently playing or recently beatenI always mix up playing retro games (mostly Amiga) with more recent games off Steam. When it comes to modern games, I'm what they call a "patient gamer". I always play games from about 7 or 8 years ago. It means I never pay more than $10 for any game, and my relatively inexpensive PC can play them all with all bells and whistles turned on. It also means that I never play games that are hyped up and then turn out to be shit. After many years, a solid perception of games' quality has arisen. Anyway, in recent times I've been playing through 2009 games for the first time, such as Batman: Arkham Asylum, Mirror's Edge, Borderlands and STALKER: Call of Pripyat. Right now...I'm 50 hours through Dragon Age: Origins. Once I'm done with that, it's onto 2010 I go (Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Amnesia, Metro 2033, Torchlight etc.).
Super Gaming - Issue 1 Summer 1991
Trickster commented on vice350z's file in Super Gaming
I have promising news Hoagie. I reached out to Pix and asked him whether he might get around to scanning in the rest of his PC Review magazines. Below is his reply: "They are on my to-do list but PC Zone is taking priority for the moment. There were only a handful of those available when I started also and I'd like to get as many done as possible before I move onto something else. I've barely scanned any of them for a year or two but should be starting up again within the next few weeks."
Alright. I had a go. Feedback welcome.
Wow. How strange that I've never heard of it. I guess it never reached Australian shores, unlike all the majority of Amiga mags and PC Gamer / PC Zone.

Underground Student Atheist Groups
Something which might be of interest, from Kimberly Winston @ USA Today:
Late one night over pizza, University of Dayton students Branden King and Nick Haynes discovered neither of them believed in God. Surely, they thought, they couldn't be the only unbelievers at the Roman Catholic college.
Last year, King and Haynes and a couple of other like-minded students applied to the administration to form the Society of Freethinkers, a student club based on matters of unbelief.
The university rejected their application — and rejected them again in September. Without university approval, the group cannot meet on campus, tap a student activities fund, participate in campus events or use campus media.
For now, they meet at a Panera cafe off campus, relying on word-of-mouth to draw members, up to about 15 now. And they are appealing the rejection.
"A religious campus can be a lonely place for someone who doesn't subscribe to faith," said King, now 23 and a graduate student in biology. "We want to reach out to these people."
The Dayton students are not alone. The Secular Student Alliance, a national organization of nontheistic students with 320 campus chapters, reports at least two other religious universities —Notre Dame and Baylor — have rejected clubs for atheist, agnostic, humanist and other nontheistic students. Students at Duquesne, a Catholic school, say they have little hope of approval on their first application this year.
All the schools say they rejected the clubs because they conflict with their Christian mission _ which perplexes some students who note that Duquesne, Dayton and Notre Dame approved Muslim and Jewish student clubs. Dayton and Duquesne have also approved gay student groups.
"The only difference between us and them is our club's agenda does not assume the existence of the Judeo-Christian God," said Stephen Love, 21, a Notre Dame student whose application was rejected twice. "I think those clubs should be allowed, but if they are going to use that line of reasoning to reject us they should be consistent."
The Rev. James Fitz, Dayton's vice president, said the school can support a gay student club without condoning the members' sexual orientation. Approving non-Catholic religious clubs is acceptable, too, because faith in God is involved.
"As a Marianist university we aspire 'to educate for formation in faith,"' he wrote in an email, quoting Marianist principles.
Many students say their peers are supportive of their nontheistic clubs. Others have asked why, if they do not believe in God, they chose a religious school in the first place.
Haynes and King came to Dayton after attending Catholic high schools. Andrew Tripp, president of DePaul University's Alliance for Free Thought, liked DePaul's urban setting and its service to Chicago's poor. Brandi Stepp said as an atheist she worried about choosing DePaul, but was drawn to its theater department's reputation.
"I thought I might have to keep my mouth shut about a lot of things," she said. "I was really interested in finding a community of like-minded people. I saw the SSA ad, showed up and had a great time."
Not all religious schools reject nontheist clubs. California Lutheran University has an active group that regularly cooperates with religious groups on campus, and DePaul has a thriving group that meets with administration support.
"Once they realized we were not going to march on the president's office demanding the de-Catholization of the university they were very amenable to our goals," said Tripp.
Suzanne Kilgannon, director of DePaul's Office of Student Involvement, said the club's goal of open inquiry into matters of faith — and non-faith — conforms to the school's Catholic mission.
"We looked at it as we are the marketplace of ideas, so how could we not have an organization like this?" she said. "Because it is important to study all sides of the subject — regardless of the subject — we felt like this club belonged here."
Other religious schools have arrived at the same conclusion. There are sanctioned Secular Student Alliance chapters at Southern Methodist University, Luther College, Presbyterian College and Iowa's Central College as well.
Jesse Galef, SSA's communications director, said some religious universities misunderstand the purpose of nontheist clubs. It isn't to promote atheism, he said, but to provide "a safe place" for students exploring nonbelief.
"Secular student groups promote discussion, and community and compassion," Galef said. "If the University of Dayton and other schools value these things they need to stop refusing secular students the same rights religious students have."
Galef has heard from Baylor students who said they felt threatened with expulsion because of their lack of faith. The Baylor Atheist/Agnostic Society, continues to meet, organizing through a private Facebook page with 69 members. No one in the group agreed to be interviewed.
Nick Shadowen, a philosophy major who proposed a secular society at Duquesne and is currently awaiting the administration's decision, sees a gap between religious and nonreligious students.
"A lot of students come from small, conservative towns centered around church where there is not a lot of discussion about atheists and so they are sort of forced to keep their opinion to themselves," he said. "This group is a chance to show the rest of the student body we are just like everyone else."
What do you read when studying religion (and nonreligion)?
Many people seem to think that I am a bit of a paradox as far as religion is concerned. Maybe this is true, maybe this isn't. But I thought it would be amusing to share photographs of the bookshelf immediately above my desk – this should give you an idea of the sort of things that I read, or am meant to be reading at the moment. Of course, there are hundreds of journal articles and library books… but these I actually 'own' myself. What do you think? Have you read any? Am I missing any classics? Answers on a postcard…

English Universities to become a Privilege for the Rich
Having seen a report on this on BBC Breakfast this morning, I had to look up the article and share it with you. According to the BBC:
Universities in England may be permitted to make extra places available for wealthy British students, under government proposals.
They would be charged as much as those from outside the European Union (EU).
Ministers say the proposal would free up publicly subsidised university places for poorer students.
Under the current system, the government sets a quota for the number of places English universities are allowed to offer each year.
From September 2012, universities in England will be allowed to raise tuition fees to up to £9,000 per year.
It marks an increase in the cap from the current level of £3,290.
Universities wanting to charge more than £6,000 will have to undertake measures such as offering bursaries, summer schools and outreach programmes, to encourage students from poorer backgrounds to apply.
The policy was developed as the government's response to a review of higher education funding by former BP chief Lord Browne.
Students from outside the EU pay higher fees and are not eligible for any grants or loans.
Under the latest proposals, wealthy students could pay higher fees for an extra place at the university of their choice as long as they meet entry requirements.
The move would enable the most popular universities to expand.
Universities Minister David Willetts said he wanted the government's forthcoming white paper on university funding to liberalise the system.
BBC Education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves said the proposals "would be controversial".
"Critics would argue the wealthiest families would be able to buy a place on a degree course," she said.
This is absolutely disgusting. Universities are supposed to be centres for academic excellence. Whilst I definitely agree with the 'critics' cited at the end of this article (that these proposals will lead to the wealthy being able to buy their university degree), I also have another, much more pressing criticism.
Universities aren't just magically going to be able to take on more students. If student places are being taken up by those who can afford to pay extortionate rates, then the number of places for 'normal' and 'poorer' people will decrease. Which people do you think universities will prefer to take on? Those who can afford to pay massive amounts'? Or those who they will have to provide bursaries and scholarships for?
I know the government will say that they will set quotas etc and ensure that this doesn't happen… but since everything they have said so far has turned out to be so misleading – 'we won't raise tuition fees'… 'okay we will, but only for a small minority of universities and courses'… 'we'll raise fees across the board. Hey, it's a difficult economic time' – this does not seem like such an unlikely scenario after all…
Rant over.

Tactics to boost your social media reach...
...without spending money
Whatever your freelance skill, whatever your product, if you are in the business of selling today you aren't doing well if you don't go Social. With powerhouses Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest all easily accessible and free, there are tools a-plenty at your fingertips to give you access to a bigger audience than ever before.
For all its potential, however, it can sometimes seem hard to grasp the great audiences hidden in the World Wide Web. Here's how we suggest you access as many prospective clients as possible, as effectively as possible:
Make a Perfect Plan
It's all well and good to communicate with the masses on these platforms but it's unlikely that your service or product is going to be everyone's cup of tea. You are chasing tangible, quantifiable results and these will not be achieved without a clear and concise plan. Do your research – what are you offering? Who would buy it? And what exactly are you hoping to achieve from your Social Media engagement? Whether you want to sell or simply spread the word, knowing what your end-game is and targeting your performance is the smart way to spend your time.
Make sure to open accounts across all major social media outlets, using the same business name universally to protect your brand. While it is worth having some form of presence in all areas, it is clear that some platforms are better suited to certain services. Looking at what influencers in your field are using should offer shortcuts that will enable you to concentrate your efforts.
Once your research is completed, put together a two week plan of what content you will share, on which platform and when. Any longer will not give you the flexibility to respond to the current events which affect the digital world and any less time would make it difficult to truly guarantee you a presence across all platforms.

I'm sure you have heard it many times over, "You are what you eat". It is a bit more complicated than that, but it does have a lot of validity. The food we consume on an every day basis is what gives us the necessary fuel to go about our lives. The quality of food has a direct impact on the quality of our lives. If we put garbage in, don't be surprised if you get garbage out. Some of the food we eat takes an enormous amount of energy by our body to process, and as a result it literally drains us of energy (this is why you get tired after an unhealthy lunch). Contrary to that, some food will provide you with hours and hours of sustained energy. The best option is obvious, so let's take a look at a few of the foods on both sides of the equation.
3 Energy Draining Foods
1. Sugary Breakfast Food: This includes things such as pastries, doughnuts, muffins, etc.. We might as well throw bagels into this category too. Sugar and white flour are major energy draining foods. These simple carbohydrates cause major spikes and dips in your blood sugar, leading to significant energy swings.
2. Greasy Fried food: This type of food that is high in "bad" (saturated) fat will once again cause fatigue and a temporary loss of brain function. Stay away from these foods when possible, as they also can lead to an array of other health problems as well.
3. Energy Drinks: It may sound strange that these can actually drain your energy, but they do. Most are laden with enormous amounts of sugar. The sugar/caffeine combination can cause a short term increase in alertness, but ultimately lead to a major energy crash.
So if you have found yourself feeling sluggish lately that might be why. But the good news is it doesn't have to stay that way. Take a look at three energy boosting foods that can help get you back on your game.
3 Energy Boosting Foods
1. Avocado: This food, which is technically a fruit, contains 20 essential health nutrients, and can provide you with a ton of great sustained energy. They are high in "good" (unsaturated) fat, which is a great, healthy energy source for your body. Avocados also help balance blood sugar levels.
2. Eggs: They are one of the most complete forms of protein you can consume, and is easily absorbed into your body for use. They contain essential amino acids which help fuel the muscles of your body. Be sure and find a good, farm fresh source for your eggs, as they are much more nutritious than traditional store bought eggs. Check your local farmers market.
3. Green Leafy Vegetables: These include the likes of spinach, kale, swish chard, dandelion, collard greens, and many more. Dark leafy greens are loaded with nutrients, including folate which helps your mood. Give a nice mixed green salad a try for lunch, maybe even mix in some egg and avocado for extra goodness.
Eating well is not difficult, but does take some focus to avoid all the temptations that are readily available and all around us. It is very easy to "grab something quick" at the store or your local fast food restaurant when you are hungry. Don't fall for the temptation. Plan ahead, and prepare for what meals and snacks you will need over the course of the day. This will help you enjoy life, and...
LIVE well. BE well.

How to make the most of winter fitness
By Tobias Mews
That's it. Enough's enough. It's time for a run. I've just got to get my arse off this chair and away from my desk. I need to breath fresh air and get my outdoor fix with nature.
I cast an eye on the clock. There's time before it gets dark. I close my laptop and grab my running kit.
Less than 10 minutes later, I'm about to head out the door but my hand lingers on the handle. Outside, the rain is literally bouncing off the pavement. In France, they have an expression for this, 'il pleut comme vache qui pisse,' which basically involves imagining a cow taking a leak. It's pretty grim. Maybe I'll go later, I say to myself.
It's a moment that every single one of us faces at some point in time, especially in the winter months when the evenings are dark, it's cold and there's an ever present ominous looking cloud floating above us.
But I remind myself that up in the hills, the trees, plants and grass are breathing a sigh of relief. They're happy. And as trail runner, it's also where I'm most happy.
Once upon a time, I might have spun on my heel and retreated into the warmth indoors. But I've learned that you can make a few simple changes to your mindset as well as your kit list, so that you can continue to make the most of your winter fitness, even when it's cold, wet and miserable outdoors.
Change your mindset and embrace the cold and wet
When I was an officer cadet at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, our directing staff often quoted the saying 'Train Hard, Fight Easy'. It was what they reminded us when we were leopard crawling on our hands and knees through a snow drift in the Brecon Beacons. As you can probably guess, in your case, it essentially means that if you train hard now, then when it comes race day it will be much easier.
Indeed, in the days leading up to a race, the state of the weather is probably the number one thing that will occupy your mind. But if you've already trained in every condition that nature can chuck at you, especially in those dark, cold and wet winter months, you'll have no nasty surprises. Whilst your competitors look at the weather forecast with gloom and doom, you'll be embracing it. You trained for this moment! Go get it.
Invest in the best running kit you can afford
My second suggestion is to invest in the best running kit you can afford. If you have the right gear, then you won't have any excuse not to head out of the door. And considering I train in the French Pyrenees, where rain and snow are as plentiful as sun, I know firsthand that by staying warm and relatively dry, you'll not only be more motivated to get out of the door, but you'll equally be less at risk of becoming ill.
So here's a list of the gear you need to ensure you have no excuse not to head outside:
- A head torch for those early mornings and dark nights
- A waterproof running jacket
- A hat to keep your head warm, and/or
- A peaked cap should it be raining. Keeps rain out of your face
- Long tights for those cold days
- A merino/cotton wool top combination to help wick away moisture and sweat but keep you warm
- Some warm socks that don't mind getting wet. Look for wool combinations.
- Gloves to keep your hands warm. They make all the difference.
- A Buff or similar type of tubular headwear to keep your neck warm should it be windy.
- Trail running shoes with a decent amount of tread, designed to work on wet and muddy trails.
- A reflective vest, should it be dark and you need to run on the road.
- A gilet. I find having my chest warm but my arms free a really good combination, ensuring I don't get too hot.
Be seen, be safe
Your safety on the trails during the winter months is of paramount importance. The weather is more variable and more often than not, can get a little more extreme. It goes without saying that if it's very icy or there's heavy snow and therefore a higher risk of danger, it's okay to skip a day of training. Or wait for a better weather window later in the day, when the ice or snow has melted. What you don't want to happen is that you slip on the pavement, fall on your coccyx and end up injured for 3 months.
Also, as per our packing list above, don't forget a reflective vest. [Ed: Aussie Grit Apparel's garments have reflective detailing, but you can never be too lit up]. There's nothing more disagreeable than running along a dark road (especially one without a pavement) whilst cars pass you by.
Tell someone where you're off running
Although it's good to be a creature of habit, as this helps us stick to our training through the winter months, we also have to be sensible. Therefore, if you're going out alone, especially on the trails, make sure you tell someone where you're going. And consider switching on the GPS tracking on your phone. You can use Google Maps or What's App, both of which have free live tracking (look for 'share live location'). Or you can subscribe to the 'Beacon' service that Strava offers, which allows your loved ones to know your location.
It's one reason less for your spouse or loved one to worry should you be late or stop for a coffee. And if you're lost or injured, it gives them a better chance of coming to your assistance.
Join a running club
This is by far one of the most effective ways to make the most of your winter fitness. When I first moved to London, I joined a running club called the Clapham Chasers. It cost me a grand total of £20, but it was one of the best investments I ever made. Come rain or shine, the scheduled runs guaranteed you'd never be alone. Running as part of a group gives you a feeling of solidarity and comradeship, knowing that you're facing what nature might throw at you together.
Find a running buddy
If you don't have access to a club, then at the very least find a running buddy. Having a friend to run with is not only a good idea for safety reasons, but from a motivational point of view, it's a lot more fun. It also means that you're much less likely to miss your run, should the weather take a turn for the worse, for fear of letting your friend down.
Create a daily routine, but be flexible
If you're at the beginning of your trail running journey, it's likely you've not created a routine. But by committing to go running at a certain time of day, say an hour before work, it becomes easier to stick to. However, if you see that it's raining in the morning and sunny in the afternoon, there's nothing wrong with postponing your run to later. Just remember, the longer you put it off, the more likely it is you'll miss it.
So what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate any longer. Open the door, head to the hills and breathe that fresh air. It's worth it. After all, it's only in the winter months that you'll find your true grit!
