Rate My Team is a concept that has been alive on Smogon for a long time, centered around the idea that we all could use a little help with our teams, and also in an attempt to chronicle the successful teams of a metagame as it evolves. Throughout the Rate My Team forum, many teams are posted on a day-to-day basis; however, the manner in which one presents a team varies from person to person. More often than not, the RMTs posted in the Rate My Team forum show a considerable lack of effort and tend to be presented in a mediocre fashion. Unfortunately, this moderate presentation is oftentimes the deciding factor between getting your team rated and having it be ignored. If an RMT is ignored simply because it lacks a successful presentation, it's likely that you may never get the help that you need. There is nothing to lose by improving the presentation of your RMT, whereas you have a lot to gain with the added effort. Ultimately, improving the quality of the presentation for your RMTs will reflect positively on both your feedback and the Rate My Team forum at large. It is the process by which one makes these improvements that is the primary topic of this article.
Arguably, the most troubling issue that the Rate My Team forum has to deal with since its creation is people neglecting to include a sufficient amount of information in their RMTs. In order for raters to successfully rate your team, it is essential that ample detail is provided as to how the team works and what threatens it. If you know what threatens your team when you post it, including a threat list will be of great assistance to raters. The majority of raters that frequent the Rate My Team forum are not going to and should not have to break their backs playtesting posted RMTs in an attempt to discover what is wrong with them. Tell us what niche each individual Pokemon has and your reasons for selecting them. Note that "it's my favorite" is not a legitimate reason; focus on competitiveness when explaining your choice. Furthermore, if you have chosen a Pokemon that differs from the bog standard, it's recommended that you explain your reasoning behind selecting it over another Pokemon that can perform a similar role.
For example, if you are using Feraligatr over Gyarados, you must have a reason for doing so, so why not explain that reason? Additionally, if you are using an obscure moveset or EV spread, it would be wise to state why you've decided upon using it to avoid bewilderment among the individuals that may rate your RMT. Bear in mind to include the goal of your team when creating a RMT. If you intend to set up a Raikou sweep, make sure to make note of that. This will increase the probability of a rater assisting you with your goal. If you wish to construct an adequate stall team, tell the reader so they know you want to win through stalling methods—a rater will be less likely to say "Use a Dragon Dance Salamence!" if you do so. Don't be redundant, though! Say what needs to be said and move on. Being terse with your logic makes it easier for the raters. Excessive paragraphing where it isn't necessary isn't helping the rater; in fact, it's just making their job that much harder.
The better you inform an audience about your team's imperfections and what you're looking for in a nice, succinct manner, the better raters can assist you. This is a rule for a reason! Refrain from using descriptions such as "standard X" or "special sweeper", as they don't tell the rater anything meaningful about your team and will reflect negatively on the rates you get—if you even get any. Furthermore, if your RMT lacks a considerable amount of useful information, expect to have it locked or deleted by a RMT moderator, such as the fascist Italian dictator under the alias Haunter, or your friendly neighborhood moderator, Bloo...
...You don't want that, do you?
No matter how good your team may be, it is your presentation that makes or breaks the way one perceives it. If your presentation is all over the place and lacks some sort of consistent theme, then the reception your team receives will be reflective of this. As one of the most effortless parts of creating a RMT, formatting is something you should appreciate, but overdoing it with gigantic pictures and a million multi-colored words is not the way you should be going about it. Besides, we don't want to be responsible for the cause of multiple epileptic fits, do we?
Keep your theme consistent and simplistic. Nobody likes a thread with pictures of Pokémon and many more of real life comparisons. Nor do people like to see threads with bullet points at every turn, fifteen different colors in one sentence, or random Jumpman16 emoticons just because of his TV-white grin. A simple sprite of a Pokémon works fine; so does a simple header for each possible chapter of your book. I mean, "Rate My Team".
A "Team at a Glance" section in the RMT takes little time to compile and instantly gives readers an idea of what sort of team they will be rating. It also gives raters the opportunity to swiftly identify any immediate and more potent threats more efficiently. Furthermore, it also looks good to those who are looking at your thread for the sake of it, as they are given direct access to how you see your own team before deployed into grievous combat.
Writing a ten-thousand word dissertation on how well your team works, how you nicknamed your Pokémon, and why you think it should be branded as "Smogon's greatest thread" may seem all well and good, but that is not the reason for why a RMT topic should be posted. In fact, to be quite frank, raters couldn't give a toss about why you think your thread should be Smogon's greatest; they don't care how you nicknamed your Pokémon as, more often than not, that information is completely irrelevant to them. Yes, please include information on how your team works, but do not forget that you are (or should be) hoping to have your team reviewed and changes suggested to improve its performance. Your thread should not be used as an extensive victory screech put into more words than "PWNAGE PKMNZ LOLOLOL".
It is because of this for why it is encouraged that users give further information to not only back up the pros of the team, but also the cons: i.e. what Pokémon pose a significant threat to the team and how do they do so? Never forget that raters aren't psychic; they do indeed require some direction in order to solve whatever dilemma you may face.
Dictating your differential on what Pokémon you think are troublesome is beneficial to all parties involved in the thread. You could write about your troubles in a brief message at the end of your presentation (but remember it is no "Dear Diary, I got my ass kicked by a Machamp, please help. Love, vashta" situation). Alternatively, you could compile a threat list if your problems are too comprehensive and would be better expressed in such a format. Either is fine; just remember to clearly state how and why certain Pokémon may be troublesome to you, and let the rater do the rest.
Before posting your team, make sure you actually play with it! As a community, nobody is remotely interested in rating a team that you made in five minutes. Raters look for teams that have been tested extensively so the obvious flaws within it are already remedied. If you playtest your team for a reasonable period of time, it's likely that you'll be able to discover what's wrong with it. From there, you can begin to experiment with various options you believe have the potential of improving your team. Once you reach the point where you can't figure out what to do, you should then seek the advice of others by posting a RMT. If you gravely need someone to do the aforementioned for you, you would be better off signing up for Battling 101 to learn the mechanics of team-building. Teams that have not been thoroughly tested aren't hard to spot out and are painstaking to deal with because the majority of them need an overhaul in order to become suitable for competitive play. Remember, we aren't here to rebuild your team—we're here to maximize its potential through recommendations.
Another pressing issue the forum faces involves the use of grammar. In the Rate My Team forum, there has been a tragic influx of people who seem to be fond of using gimmick slang, such as 'uhh', 'teh', 'pwnage', and so forth in their posts. The use of this internet slang is frowned upon. It's significantly easier to type like that on IRC or on other internet chats, but it negatively impacts your post in the Rate My Team forum (or any forum, for that matter). It often results in your post being difficult to read and understand, and inhibits its organization and meaningfulness. You don't want your RMT to be overlooked; rather, you want it to draw in as many readers as possible—the easiest way to do this is to spell out your words! You will increase your chance at receiving a meaningful and swift reply if you take the time to formulate your sentences coherently and use proper punctuation. Naturally, not everyone's first language is English, but really what counts is putting forth serious effort to make your posts readable. As long as you do that, no one will think less of you or your work for it.
In essence, you only need to remember four simple things when you are creating a RMT: the information, the grammar, the aesthetics, and a certainty that you have playtested your team beforehand. These are the essential components required when constructing a successful RMT thread. So, why not get involved? Nothing can go wrong if you have paid careful attention to the contents of this article, and you'll have raters flocking to your thread instantaneously in their masses!
Conversely, you may still be unsure about what a good RMT looks like. If so, then fear no more—the RMT archive is the place to go. The RMT archive hosts a careful selection of well-presented, excellent teams which are not only well-constructed and successful in their own right, but are also portrayed in a cogent and visually-pleasing manner. Teams located here are can be used as excellent models for any future RMT.
Have fun writing!

Brian Dozier struck out looking three times in the first six innings Monday night against Detroit starter Justin Verlander, but his solo home run to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning sent the game into extra innings with a 3-3 score.
Then Dozier singled in the 11th and scored the winning run on Josmil Pinto's single to right field.
"We needed that," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of Dozier's late-game hitting.
Dozier said Verlander, who fanned 12, was on top of his game Monday.
"Our goal with a guy like that was to get to the bullpen as early as possible," Dozier said.
Joaquin Benoit was on the mound in the ninth and Dozier hit his 18th home run, a 418-foot blast to left.
"He came in with a fastball and I got a good swing on it," Dozier said. "My plan is to hit the ball hard. Whether it goes out or not, that's up to where I make contact with the ball."

Biographical Sketch
Alfred Stanley Dreyfus was born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1921. He received a B.A. with high honors in Classics from the University of Cincinnati, and received his Bachelor of Hebrew Letters in 1942, followed by a Master of Hebrew Letters and ordination in 1946 from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. Following ordination, he held the Heinsheimer Fellowship at Hebrew Union College, where he taught liturgy and served as Director of the College Reference Department. From 1948 to 1950, he was Counselor to the Interfaith Program, working with graduate Christian clergymen who were studying at Hebrew Union College to become teachers of Hebrew and related subjects in their seminaries. In 1951, he received a Ph.D. in Jewish Theology from Hebrew Union College. He was a Visiting Lecturer in Judaism at the Indiana School of Religion in Bloomington (1951-1956) and lectured on Judaism to medical and nursing students at the University of Texas Medical Center in Galveston. HUC-JIR honored Dreyfus with an honorary Doctor of Divinity in 1971.
Dreyfus served as the Director of Rabbinic Placement of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (1980-1991) and taught liturgy and commentaries at the New York campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion for over four decades.
His long and distinguished career encompassed spiritual leadership as visiting minister of the West London Synagogue in England (summer 1949), and rabbi of Congregation Beth El in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania and Congregation B'nai Israel in East Liverpool, Ohio (1950-1951), United Hebrew Congregation in Terre Haute, Indiana (1951-1956), with a leave of absence from there (1951-1953) for the Chaplaincy in the U.S. Army, and Temple B'nai Israel in Galveston, Texas (1956-1965). He was the rabbi of Union Temple of Brooklyn, New York from 1965 to 1979 and was Rabbi Emeritus until 2008. He served on the Board of Governors of the World Union for Progressive Judaism and the Executive Committee of the New York Board of Rabbis, and was President of the Brooklyn Association of Reform Rabbis and the Texas Assembly of Rabbis. He served on the Catholic-Jewish Relations Committee of the Diocese of Brooklyn-Queens. He was a frequent contributor of articles and reviews to theological and educational periodicals, and editor of Book of Prayers (1948, 1961) for the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods and Henry Cohen: Messenger of the Lord to mark the centennial of the birth of the noted Texas rabbi.
Dreyfus was married to Marianne Berlak, the granddaughter of Rabbi Leo Baeck, and they had two sons, Dr. James Dreyfus (Rabbi Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus) of Homewood, Illinois, and the late Richard Dreyfus (Helen Bagot Dreyfus) of Houston, Texas, and five grandchildren.
A. Stanley Dreyfus passed away on 8 July 2008.

Javier's Excellence is Rewarded
2016 Chefs Al Rescate Fundraiser for Los Cabos Children's FoundationLos Cabos, Mexico
Saturday, April 9, 2016
In a sold-out event held April 9 2016, Executive Chef of Javier's Los Cabos, Abraham Tamez, along with 17 other local chefs, participated in the annual Chefs al Rescate (Chefs to the Rescue) Fundraiser to aid the Los Cabos Childrens Foundation. The event, which was held at Pitayitas Restaurant, raised more than 160,000 pesos ($10,000) for the cause. The Los Cabos Childrens Foundation helps local children with serious medical issues, like cancer and congenital heart defects, get treatment in the US and in La Paz, Mexico, as well as in local facilities.
Chef Tamez with partner Chef Cesar Pita plating the dish, which was the crowd favorite!
Chef Abraham Tamez of Javier's prepared a wood grilled bone marrow taco with a veal mole verde and 4 different salsas. The mini-tacos were hand-made on site using Hoja Santa leaves. Javier's is proud to continue the tradition of supporting local charities, both in Mexico and in the U.S.
Masters of Mexican: Javier's

White, Mexican wild shrimp. Dungeness crab. Maine lobster. Order the trio of enchiladas del mar at Javier's, and you're presented with a triad of the highest quality seafood, all wrapped up in warm tortillas topped with cheese, sour cream, red onion, avocado and a slice of black olive. The dish's two sauces deliver the knockout punch—the shrimp and crab are lathered in a tomatillo sauce with serrano and jalapeno peppers, while the lobster is smothered in a green sauce thickened with sour cream—and establish the epicurean expertise that has anchored Javier's Mexican fare for the last 20 years.
After closing in Laguna in 2008, the restaurant opened in Crystal Cove Shopping Center, just a short drive up Coast Highway. Javier's expansive menu features center-cut prime steaks, tree-to-restaurant produce and sustainable seafood delivered fresh daily. The cantina's offerings are a far cry from the misconception that Mexican food means lots of cheese, sour cream and big portions, says Javier Sosa Jr., the general manager and owner's son. Javier's is not "Americanized" and it is not a "fusion" of cultures; it's authentic Mexican cuisine.
Take a seat in the main dining room, where antiquated wooden beams and mosaic windows complement a contemporary ambience, or dine alfresco amid bonfires on the patio. To start, sip a black salt-rimmed Diamante Negro martini; vodka is replaced by multi-aged Maestro Dobel tequila and blended with agave nectar and lime juice. For a fruitier flavor, the hand-shaken Fruto de Cactus margarita stars fresh prickly pear. While you nibble on house-made chips and salsa, choose from a smattering of seafood ceviches. Tossed with lime juice, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers and tomatoes, both the shrimp and Alaskan halibut provide a refreshing, tangy blend, while the octopus highlights a more delicate harmony.
One of the restaurant's most popular dishes is the Cabo Azul, composed of a Maine lobster enchilada, shrimp and Dungeness crab.
New Javier's ConceptLAS VEGAS SUN

Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012
Javier's, just opened in Aria, is a design masterpiece. Each culturally inspired decoration and furniture piece was custom made, including handcrafted pottery from Guadalajara. Some 4,000 metal decorative nail heads are in the lounge, and hundreds of rope strands form a canopy.
The hotspot from Laguna Beach, Calif., features the world's largest piece of chainsaw art weighing 3,000 pounds. Its artwork on five large panels illustrates the Mayan Creation myth and hundreds of Day of the Dead-inspired skeletons. Look for the hundreds of hidden elements on a five-part journey from the Tree of Death to redemption in the Tree of Life.
The 9,000-square-foot restaurant seats 280 guests in its two dining rooms and a 20-seat private dining room. Don't miss the metal bar because embedded inside it are four cell phone-charging hubs.

Javier's Restaurant opens in The Aria Hotel in Las VegasLAS VEGAS SUN
By Ron Sylvester
Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012
A beach-inspired blend of Mexican and Southern California flavors has come to the Aria with this week's opening of Javier's restaurant.
It's the fourth location for Javier's, which grew from a location on Pacific Coast Highway in 1995. Although it's not what some would consider authentic Mexican food, it is steeped in tradition, co-founder Javier Sosa said.
"The dishes we present at Javier's are derived from generations upon generations of my family's recipes," said Sosa, who oversaw the training of some 200 employees at the Las Vegas restaurant.
The restaurant has received top reviews from customers on Yelp, especially for its margaritas.
Dodd Mitchell, creator of looks at restaurants on Sunset Boulevard and hotels in Beverly Hills, designed the 9,000-square-foot space, which includes booths with corset-style lacing and a metal bar fashioned to look like a roulette wheel. The bar has four phone-charging hubs embedded in it.
A prominent piece of art is a 25-foot, 3,000-pound chainsaw carving by J. Chester Armstrong.
Among the first guests were former Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, who dined in a private area with friends Sunday night.

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez was delighted with Fernando Torres' performance in their 3-1 Europa League win over Steaua Bucharest. Torres scored the crucial third goal as last season's Champions League winners advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals with a 3-1 win on the night and 3-2 aggregate success over the Romanian league leaders.
The Spaniard had the opportunity for a second goal and Chelsea's fourth after earlier goals from Juan Mata and recalled captain John Terry, but his spot-kick struck the crossbar.
Rather than bemoan the miss, Benitez was pleased his compatriot, and former player at Liverpool, was prepared to assume penalty duties.
"He has confidence now and he can take the responsibility," said Benitez, who revealed Torres was one of three possible penalty takers.
"We are quite pleased because he was taking the responsibility.
"It's good. He scored and after he had more confidence and that is positive for the team and positive for him for the future."
Torres' strike was his second goal in 20 games - the effort at Middlesbrough which ricocheted in off his back was belatedly credited to Ramires - and his reward was a nosebleed sustained soon afterwards.
"It (the goal) was important for him," Benitez added. "It was important - the main thing - for the team. We knew he was working really hard, he was training really well.
"Two days ago he was scoring a lot of goals in training. We knew he was close.
"Hopefully it will be the first of a lot."
Is Torres back? Or does the self-doubt remain after his spotkick miss? Give us your shout below...

You've probably seen it about in the supermarkets, on TV, or right detected just about it from a acquaintance. Hoodiaability gordoniiability is designed to be one of the close big productsability in the weight loss industry, or is it? Hoodiaability claims to be competent to control your appetency by anyone able to imitate the personal effects that diet has on your neural structure - therefore, production you be aware of well-lined. Hoodiaability has a particular even-pinnate in it better-known as P57 that mimics the effects of aldohexose on the fiber bundle cells in the neural structure for this reason chemical reaction craving.
Hoodia gordoniiability is a plant resemblingability a succulent found in the Kalahari Godforsaken in Africa. The San Bushmen aware inside this waste have used Hoodiaability for thousands of old age in establish to forestall themselves from seemly in need during lasting blood sport expeditions. It has been anecdotallyability according that they can control their appetites for active a fundamental quantity of 24 work time by manduction on hoodiaability.
In onetime say the intermediate of 2004, the media began to turn over into hoodiaability. It principally started once a similar to CBS specified as Lesley Stahl in actuality went to the Kalahari Desert Godforsaken to brainwave an reliable magazine of this extraordinary works. According to the message on the CBS website, Stahl reports that "She had no after personal estate - no droll appetite in her mouth, no sickish stomach, and no sport hunch. She too wasn't ravenous all day, even once she would usually have a feeling in circles tea. And, she likewise had no craving to eat or swill the total day. 'I'd have to say it did work,' says Stahl."Post ads:

In a newspaper entitled "Increased ATP blissful/production in the neural structure may be a summon for energy-sensingability of satiety: studies of the anorexic chemical process of a processing plant endocrine glycoside," the authors of the paper found that in the animals tested, injected P57 (the active odd-pinnate in hoodiaability) decreased later 24 60 minutes sustenance bodily function by roughly speaking 40-60%.
In adornment to this, at Phytopharm's website (Phytopharm is the first creator of the hoodiaability merchandise) Phytopharmability states, "In 2001 Phytopharmability accomplished a double-blind, placebo-controlledability medical institution be taught in overweight, but other fine volunteers exploitation an passage of Hoodiaability gordoniiability. The large doses of quotation caused a statistically key diminution in the middle daily energy unit body process. In addition, a statistically epoch-making cut rate in thing fat cheerful was as well discovered compared to the medicament division after two weeks."
So, it's relatively decipherable that from the reality that the San Bushman have been victimization Hoodiaability for centuries, an account word from Lesley Stahl that says that hoodiaability checked her appetite, a scientifically regimented den through with next to P57 in animals, and a announcement silhouette Phytopharmability that hoodiaability really does profession to fall appetency.Post ads:

However, different question arises: The validity of hoodiaability. Since hoodiaability is highly in danger of extinction - the one and only notable deposit to get the exact taxonomic group of the building complex is in the Desert Wild - and is in in flood demand, histrion are coming up with dishonest distance to scam trade into thinking that they in fact get hoodiaability. The idiosyncrasy is it is pretty tight to communicate who is mercantilism sincere hoodiaability. Although a CITES papers is hunted for a vendor to get rid of hoodia, this does not be a sign of that their hoodiaability is reliable. Microphone Samuel Adams at newstargetability.comability believesability that up to 80% of hoodiaability sold is put on. In tallying to that, he follow-up that lots actor can photoshop a competitor's CITES, only ostensible a CITES, or dispatch in a genuine accumulation of hoodiaability in direct to get an authentic CITES and afterwards trade clientele replicated hoodiaability. You can get much message nearly the legitimacy of hoodiaability by going to newstargetability.comability and doing a hunting for "hoodia".
Well now, it's magnificent and slap-up that hoodia, assumptive you brainstorm an authentic product, can trim down your appetite, but is that really that helpful? Among the ethnic group hip to something like weight loss (we if truth be told ring it "fat loss," not "weight loss"), it's renowned that only ravenous yourself won't effectuate your goals, which is what hoodiaability would do. You must swell your heat unit outlay by doing many sort of cardiopulmonary exercise in ps to escalating your musculus large-scale by incorporatingability weight lifting to certainly complete your goals and save them. Hoodiaability may be somewhat practical in causation an other energy unit inadequacy since astir partially of the gram calorie shortage you buy should be through with slashed calories and the opposite partly finished augmented fleshly movement. Nonetheless, you can slickly dependability your appetency by consumption liquid or intake foods beside a full repletion and a low magnitude of calories. A abdomen chock-full of Gelatin dessert has less calories than a tummy abounding of insignificant dairy product.

Simulated sexual assault is a growing problem among online gamers, it appears.
Hackers are using modifications to lock other players in place and make their characters naked to simulate rape and sexual harassment on online platforms such as Grand Theft Auto and posting the videos on YouTube to parade their actions for all to see.
Detective Shawn Marshal of Toronto Police told City News they are interested to hear from victims, who can be forced to listen to vile harassment from their attackers through headsets.
One redditor said: "He has his pants down at all times and can butt rape you. You cannot kill him and there is nothing you can do about it. Worse, when he's done, you are stuck doing strip dances."
The disturbing trend is nothing new. Last year, video-game writer Kim Correa described her own virtual sexual assault in DayZ, a zombie apocalypse game.
Two armed men cornered her character, made her strip, killed her and simulated having sex with her body while speaking to her through the video game throughout the ordeal.
"I definitely don't want to say what happened to me verbally is as important as if it had happened in real life," Correa told WNYC 93.9 FM. "But it means something. And I'm not sure what it means."

At the present time, Scrollcrafter's is primarily in the business of producing scroll saw art. All patterns on this website are copyrighted material and are the work of myself or artists such as the late Patrick Spielman. These patterns are made viewable for potential art buyers, not those in the business of creating such art. Every effort will be made to restrict these images to our viewing audience while limiting the possibility of simply copying the images.
All scroll saw art produced by ScrollCrafters is hand-made in the United States. This process results in each piece being slightly different than the next even though the same pattern is used. Contrary to laser cut or other automated processes that result in assembly-line, mass-produced cookie cutter work. The process of creating hand-made scroll saw art is detailed elsewhere on this site.
I hope you'll explore this site and find something of interest. Comments and suggestions are always welcome as a fresh perspective. I'm developing my own patterns, too, and these may be offered for sale. I'm also looking into partnering with fellow designers to offer their patterns for sale. So check back often.
I take a lot of pride in my scroll sawing. If it's not fit for my wall it's not fit for anyone elses! I'm also very choosey regarding which patterns I'm willing to spend time transforming into scroll saw art. There are tons of patterns available but I don';t find them all appealing. I've only so much time so I have to choose wisely.
Some of what you'll find here...

Recent rumors have claimed that the two are in a relationship.
A source told Us Weekly that Eddie and Toni "are seeing each other and very into it" and that the romance started up four months ago.
"Their kids have met and everything, it's getting serious," the insider added.
However, the funnyman denied the romance rumors, telling Access Hollywood that they are "just friends."
"I don't even know who the new love is. I know I'm single and I'm just up at the house, playing the guitar and being a single dad," Murphy said.
"Toni and I are just friends . . . I went to her show, and we're friends and she's a very, very sweet girl, but we're just friends," he claimed.
The 50-year-old comedian was married to Nicole Mitchell for 12 years. He dated former Spice Girl Melanie Brown from 2006 to 2007, and had a short romance with Tracey Edmonds in 2008.
For her part, Toni, 44, split from musician Keri Lewis in 2009 after an 8-year marriage. The two had two children together.

Unable to become an on-air political analyst for a television network or a syndicated news columnist, he wrote a book. But what a book The Prince is! Its essential contribution to modern political thought lies in Machiavelli's assertion of the then revolutionary idea that theological and moral imperative have no place in the political arena. "It must be understood", Machiavelli asserts, "that a prince...cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religions, in order to preserve the state."
With just a little imagination, readers can discern parallels between a 16th-century principality and a 21st-century presidency.

The Prince and the Art of War by Machiavelli are must reads for any DOD or DOS member. One does not have to like his conclusions but his observations are right on. Plus it is a must read to understand the realist point of view.

I'm trying to include a widgetmate news scroll widget into my blog but the instructions on widgetmate's site on how to do this in WordPress don't seem to be accurate. Where do I put the code for my new widget and what type of code works--considering WordPress doesn't allow Javascript or recognize PHP.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
How to Place a Widgetmate Widget into My Blog
As you have not provided a link to a widgetmate widget or to the code there's little that can be said. Provided that "widgetmate" is not a form, iframe or javascript you can simply place it in a text widget and display it in your sidebar. If it contains any code that could undermine security the wordpress software will strip out the code. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/24/using-the-text-widget/
Usually when places give instructions for WordPress blogs, they're talking about the self hosted blogs running on software from wp.org.
Thanks katm. I finally figured that out. I just switched over to WordPress from Blogspot. I like WordPress but I really like the flexibility Blogspot offers in terms of being fully customizable.
I just wanted to let you know that you can have more flexibility by switching to wordpress.org software. In that case you can either self-host or you can hire a web host and download a free template that you can hack any way you want. Because wordpress.com is a multi-user blogging platform we cannot edit our underlying templates. If we were allowed to do so then the edits we made would likewise effect all other blogs with the same theme. We are also restricted when it comes to using, forms, iframes and media embeds to preserve security.
Okay, I'm trying WordPress for the first time from Blogger too. I have two blogs on Blogger but folks have recommended WordPress, so I'm trying it.
The link wasn't provided, so here is the Widgetmate link: http://www.widgetmate.com
Basically, you get to customize a news or poster widget. Then it gives you the code to paste it into your blog.
It seems like it can be done. I've pasted code from other 3rd party widgets (sitemeter) on WordPress and it works. However, I've posted others that haven't work. I think that's due more to me being a novice at coding than the fact that it's impossible.
So this is, hopefully, just about someone with more skill than I and others have to figure out what part of the code I need to tweek.
Sorry, I don't think it can be done. The WordPress install is definitely for WP.org and the other options all include Javascript, which we can't add on WP.com. You can insert code into a text widget, but only if it's plain HTML; anything like Javascript or a form will be stripped out.

I don't want this post to have a wet-sponge, depressed feel to it so I'll keep the first part short:
These past two months have been tough for a number of reasons. I've lost a number of people who were close to me; both stateside and here in the Peace Corps community; some temporary and some permanent. Saying goodbye to friends leaving the country was hard. Not being able to be at a funeral in the US was difficult. Going to a funeral in the village was tough. All of these made the dealing with my dissatisfaction with my work here as a volunteer a catalyst for a slump.
Although these things have been tough for me, I really don't want to dwell on it and become a self-martyr. They're not the purpose of this post. The topic of this post is about change. I think true change comes about when someone is faced with the difficulties of life; when enough bad things happen to finally make the afflicted stop everything and consider the options for the elements of their life in which they do control. For me, that was work; and personally, it took a lot for me to say to myself that I wasn't happy with my last year's performance, even if it had been in the back of my mind for a long while. I wasn't getting things done that I wanted done and couldn't figure out why things were in a perpetual state of failure. I attributed it to a fairly big step in my life: I wasn't living on a schedule. In fact, life doesn't have a schedule... anymore at least. Up until now, my life has been dictated by schedules. Professors told me when to hand in assignments. Bosses told me when to arrive at work and what to do. Parents told me when to attend functions and make decisions that would affect my later life. But is that life? Is that what makes, continues, and determines life? If one of my local farmers wait for someone to tell him to go out, weed or plant his field, is he going to harvest? No chance.
My greatest fear is to return feeling like my time could have been better spent in the US. I've been told just being here in the village and becoming part of the community is enough to make the unique, Peace Corps experience worthwhile; and they're absolutely right. But it would be a massive personal defeat if my village thought I could have done more; or worse yet, if I thought I could have done more.
So for these past few months of taking blow after blow, they hopefully have driven me to realize some remnant of a lesson: Do. Don't dwell, don't overplan, don't stall, don't procrastinate, don't try. Do.
With that in mind, I've been jump starting, reviving, and developing a number of projects for the area. Environmental clubs, chickens, agriculture, soccer, HIV/AIDS, alternative fuels, poverty relief, and primary school field trips have been in the forefront of my mind as of late and I'm really pushing myself to make these next few months productive ones. Let's see how many I can make happen.

Hi Drew -
I hope things are going better for you. I'm sorry that you have been having a hard time, but I just want you to know how proud I am of you. You are amazing and what you are doing right now is life changing not only for you but for those who you are with.

Moving from
Palm to Pocket PC and Vice Versa
by Lisa
Gade, Editor-in-Chief, updated January 2004
Getting your Contacts, Calendar, Notes and To-dos
into your New PDA
If you're a Palm OS user thinking of moving to
a Pocket PC, you'll want to know how to get your PIM data (contacts,
calendar, to-do's and memos) into your new Pocket PC. It's pretty
easy, though you may need to buy a piece of software to do it.
Pocket PCs sync to MS Outlook for PIM information.
If you've ever used Outlook, you know that it has mail, calendar,
contacts, tasks and notes features, and these can all sync to your
Pocket PC. Most non-entry level Palm OS PDAs ship with Chapura's
Pocket Mirror, Intellisync Lite or PalmOne's own Outlook syncing
conduit. These are intermediary programs that allows you to sync
your Palm OS PDA to Outlook rather than Palm Desktop. If you're already
using one of these solutions, then you're set! When you sync your
new Pocket PC to your desktop machine, all the PIM info in Outlook
will be downloaded to your PDA.
If you're not using one of these solutions and
instead are syncing to Palm Desktop, check the PC to see if one of
these solutions is included. If it is, install the one that came
with your Palm, then sync your Palm OS PDA to sync all the PIM data
into Outlook. Once you've done this, the Pocket PC will pick up all
the data the first time you sync it. If your Palm is quite old and
didn't come with one of these solutions you can purchase one separately.
Check out Intellisync from PumaTech or
Pocket Mirror at www.chapura.com.
If you're a Pocket PC user moving to a Palm OS
device, the process is simply the reverse. Your data is already in
Outlook. If your new Palm came with Pocket Mirror, install it and
you're ready to sync your Outlook data to your new Palm.
Can I use the Same Programs?
Some programs come in both Palm
and Pocket PC flavors, but not a lot. AvantGo! comes with both
PDAs and if it isn't in the box you can download it from Avantgo.com.
The same is true of Palm Reader, HanDBase, MobileDB and Acrobat
Reader. Even if your shareware and commercial apps aren't available
for your new device, you'll likely find counterparts that work
just as well. Both platforms offer language dictionaries, medical
references and applications, enhanced agenda programs and so on.
If you're moving from a Pocket PC to a Palm OS PDA other than the
Sony Clié, you won't find any MP3
players or music players because these devices don't support advanced
multimedia (that will change when high end Palm OS 5 PDAs come out
this Fall).
If you're used to using a commercial Office suite
like Documents to Go on the Palm, you'll notice there isn't a counterpart
in the world of Pocket PCs. That's because all Pocket PCs come with
Pocket Word and Pocket Excel. Several also ship with 3rd party Powerpoint
viewer apps. If you need to work with Powerpoint presentations on
the Pocket PC, there are commercial programs available for purchase.
If you're a Pocket PC user switching to Palm, your
Palm likely will come with a bundled version of Documents to Go.
Most non-entry level (meaning least expensive) Palm OS PDAs ship
with Documents to Go. If your Palm didn't come with Docs to Go, check
out our review of Office programs for Palm here.
And don't forget to check our software
listings to see a sampling of what's available for each platform.

On Being Entrepreneurial to Find Your New Career
There are many paths out of academia, and finding one can be surprisingly difficult. There are a few things I might suggest can do to speed the process, things I wish I'd done earlier.
Transition from a Scientist to an Entrepreneur
My street credentials: I've been a graduate student, a PhD in Organic chemistry from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, a postdoc from the University of California, Berkeley, and transitioned into a fulltime entrepreneur for over a year now. I have also founded the Berkeley Postdoc Entrepreneurship Program, to help PhD's and postdocs learn about entrepreneurship (BPEP). I also have a good understanding of graduate student/postdoc issues, by serving in the Graduate Education Advisory Board of the American Chemical Society.
Starting out in a Startup
Two words that can evoke either feelings of pure excitement or pure fear: Startup Company. Startups are common in the biotechnology world, as there are many brilliant scientists and business savvy people with innovative ideas and plans of how to implement them.
Six lessons learned while I quit grad school to become an entrepreneur
Life changing decisions do not happen often. They are difficult and will require you to dig deeper into your brain, gut, and soul to find the best path towards your happiness. I was 28 years old in 2008 when I decided that a PhD and a life as a scientist, wasn't a good fit for Tom Ruginis.It took six months to realize this was a mistake, one year to decide to leave, and two months to gather the courage to walk into my PI's office and say, "This isn't for me, I'm leaving."
My parents hate me. Now what?
A continuing blog series of life as an entrepreneur after leaving academia.5 years ago I dropped out of a PhD program in Pharmacology. It was a difficult decision but a smart one. Once the decision was made, outgoing messages began: "Hey, just thought I'd let you know, I'm dropping out of grad school to pursue a different career."
I Will Not Hire You If.....
As a CEO at HappiLabs, I have to manage the growth of the company, which includes hiring. We are only a 5-person company, but we're growing and, currently, I receive about one resume or inquiry per day. Each resume is guaranteed about 5 seconds of my time, as I do a quick glance to evaluate the organization and style. If you make it beyond that, and I have time, I'll spend about 3 minutes reviewing the resume and scanning your name on Google. I'm sure I am not the only hiring manager at a small business who feels this way, but I will not hire you if….
Transitioning to Business Development
While my background is as a chemist, and my first role in industry was as a bench chemist, for the past 13 years, I've been handling business development, sales and marketing for a number of different organizations.
The path to quitting my PhD
It was summer of 2005, the beginning of a PhD program at the University of IL-Chicago. I was grateful for my Student Mentor, Aaron Place, as he taught me the ropes. I was comfortable. Then classes started and I couldn't stay awake. A dark auditorium and 8am classes?! Doubts began. Will I survive a PhD?
Scientist or Businessperson??
My name is Hamilton Lenox, and welcome to my first blog on Bio Careers. When I was first approached and asked to contribute to the site, I readily agreed, in the hopes that I could potentially offer some insights that will help others who are just starting their careers, or those looking for a career change, so that they may avoid some of the many mistakes that I personally have made over 15 years in the pharmaceutical / biotech industry.
A Career in Business Development
"Business Development" can mean different things, depending on the position you find yourself in, the company or agency that hires you, the size and mission of the organization, and any number of other factors. As the Director of Business Development for a small non-profit research institute, I can tell you that I wear a lot of hats. I thought I'd write a blog about what it is I do on a day-to-day basis – maybe you'll see something appealing in it, and decide to go that route.

RSVP volunteers warm the community
Updated 6:45 pm, Wednesday, January 2, 2013
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program volunteers have been knitting hats, scarves, mittens and other items all year for children in our area.
These items were recently given out to a number of local agencies that provide services to those in the Greater Norwalk area. Hand-knit items were given to more than 700 children, including pre-schoolers in the NEON Child Development Program.
RSVP of Southwestern Connecticut has about 35 volunteers who knit year-round. This includes a group at Kingsway, the Norwalk Senior Center, the Weston Senior Center and the Westport Women's Club.
Several of the volunteers accompany RSVP staff in delivering their colorful knitted items. The volunteers meet with their group on a weekly basis to show off what they've worked on during the week. This keeps the seniors active and engaged in their community and helps them to know they are doing something positive for others.
In 2012, RSVP was the recipient of a grant from CL&P, which helped pay for some of the yarn. Donations of yarn are always welcome.
More InformationFact box
Anyone 55 or older is eligible to sign up as an RSVP volunteer. In addition to knitting, RSVP volunteers also assist in after-school programs, read to preschoolers, help at Red Cross blood drives, provide transportation to seniors and veterans and engage in many other volunteer activities in our community.
For information about RSVP, call Nancy Pratt at 203-663-7332 or email email@example.com.

A grandfather who wants his grandsons to try tennis says courts in Bury St Edmunds' Abbey Gardens are a 'disgrace'.
John Plumb, of Fornham St Martin, played on the courts as a boy but says their condition makes them unplayable.
"They're a disgrace to the Abbey Gardens," he said. "I was in the Abbey Gardens with my grandsons and would like to have a knock about with them. There's nowhere else in Bury you can just go and play."
Sarah Stamp, portfolio holder for leisure, culture and heritage, said the courts are kept safe but they are discussing moving them with English Heritage.
"What we don't want to do is waste tax payers money carrying out costly repairs only for us to then secure the funds for the courts to be relocated a few months later," she said.

Pippo Inzaghi is almost certain to end his Milan career this summer, but as his brother confirms, not his playing career.
Inzaghi, who will be 39 by the start of next season, has barely featured for the Rossoneri this season, having struggled for fitness and then to convince Coach Massimiliano Allegri of more playing time.
With Pippo set to leave the club this summer, his brother Simone, a retired striker and now Coach of the youth team at Lazio, has revealed that this doesn't spell the end of his playing career.
"Pippo has made history with Milan and is genuinely impacted by his departure," reflected Simone Inzaghi to Tuttomercatoweb.
"He is grateful to the Rossoneri for what they have done, but I think there is also gratitude from the club and the fans for him too.
"Pippo is still physically fit and knows he can play on for a couple more years. Managed in the right way he can still give so much to football.
"This year he had expected to play a bit more, but saying that, he was recovering from a very bad injury.
"He's not decided on his future yet, but he is aware that he can still give so much to the game."

Tyler Perry wows fans with slimmed-down look
Tyler Perry has wowed fans by showing off his 30-pound weight loss on the cover of fitness magazine Men's Health.
The actor/director slimmed down for his new action thriller, "Alex Cross," and he admits he has never felt better.
He says in the November issue of the publication, "I walk into a room with a lot more confidence. All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it.
"But, with what I've been able to do with my body, I'm owning it. I'm standing up when I walk into a room."
To lose the weight, Perry committed to hour-long morning gym work-outs that included cardio, weightlifting and cable work, and regular afternoon Krav Maga sessions, which also helped him to perfect fight scenes in the film.
The 43 year old adds, "Now, I feel like it's OK to be thought of as sexy."
Fire breaks out at Tyler Perry's film studio
Firefighters are working to contain a blaze that broke out at Tyler Perry's film studio in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday.
Responders were called to the sprawling complex on Monday morning following reports the building's roof was ablaze.
Local news agencies on the scene have posted images of the alleged damage online, although no injuries have been reported.
This is the second blaze at the location in four months – on May 1 a large fire broke out and destroyed a large set piece, sending flames and smoke into the sky.
Perry hosted a fundraiser for President Barack Obama at the state-of-the-art studio in March.
Tyler Perry defends Bobbi Kristina from walk-off reports
Director Tyler Perry has jumped to Bobbi Kristina's defense amid reports she walked off the set of his TV comedy "For Better or Worse," insisting the cast has already wrapped its upcoming season.
The filmmaker wrote a part specifically for Whitney Houston's daughter following her mother's sudden death in February, hoping the project would help her cope with her grief, but on Tuesday rumors suggesting the 20-year-old had stormed off the set circulated, and now Perry has set the record straight, calling his young star a true professional.
In a post on his official blog, he writes, "NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finshed (sic) taping the season… Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the actng (sic) or any job-related issues, but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother.
"Being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or how it's going to hit you, for that matter.
"Some days you're smiling and happy and some days you're so broken that you can't stop crying. So, yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time."
And Perry, who is a close family friend of the Houstons, has urged the media to quit spreading rumors about Bobbi Kristina, adding, "PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve."
Blaze breaks out at Tyler Perry's studios
Firefighters were called to Tyler Perry's film studio in Atlanta after a major blaze broke out there on Tuesday night.
Atlanta's emergency services rushed to tackle the fire at the huge complex, which includes a back lot, a 400-seat theater, five sound stages and a gym, in the southwest area of the city.
More than 100 firefighters attended the scene and the flames were eventually extinguished, but the studio was left severely damaged, with part of building collapsing.
Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Captain Jolyon Bundrige tells CNN there has been no report of any injuries.
A statement from the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, reads, "This evening at 8:41 p.m., the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department responded to a reported structure fire at Tyler Perry Studios. … The response was immediately upgraded … due to the fire conditions, size, type, and location of the structure. An initial report of a partial collapse was limited to the fascia of the affected building, which is located in the center of the lot. The structural integrity of the building was not compromised. (The) fire was brought under control after only an hour of crews working on scene."
The cause of the fire was not known at the time of this post.
Tyler Perry treated Oprah to a Bentley
Director Tyler Perry showed off his generous side by handing his billionaire pal Oprah Winfrey a luxury car after she fell in love with his vehicle.
The filmmaker and actor turned up to lunch with the TV titan and her pal Gayle King last year in a brand new Bentley, and Winfrey revealed she was a huge fan of the supercar.
Perry couldn't resist treating the chat show host – who is one of the world's richest women – to a pricey gift, shipping an identical Bentley to her the next day.
And his generosity didn't end there – when King called to thank him, he ordered another of the luxury motors for her.
King tells Vanity Fair magazine, "(Oprah admired the Bentley) so he sent her the same exact car. I called Tyler and told him how amazing that was because nobody ever does anything like that for her, on such a grand scale. And so, the next day when I got home, there was a Bentley in my driveway!"
Winfrey famously gave her entire studio audience new Pontiac G6s in 2004.
Jamie Foxx and Tyler Perry sued by inmate
Jamie Foxx and Tyler Perry have been hit with a multi-million dollar lawsuit from a convicted bank robber who claims the pair stole his ideas for their new film.
Foxx, Perry and Martin Lawrence star in new comedy "Skank Robbers," which tells the story of two female crooks and unites characters from the stars' other projects.
Lawrence revives his female alter-ego Sheneneh from his 1990s TV show "Martin," with Foxx's Wanda from sketch show "In Living Color" and Perry's popular Madea character also appearing in the film.
However, Shamont Lyle Sapp, who is currently behind bars in Oklahoma, has filed a lawsuit alleging he gave Foxx and Perry the idea to unite the three characters in a movie project.
He is suing the stars for $1 million each, while the legal papers also take aim at Fox Broadcasting and producer David Zuckerman, according to TMZ.com.
Oprah, James Cameron & Tyler Perry top Hollywood rich list
Oprah Winfrey and pal Tyler Perry have stormed to the top of Forbes magazine's end-of-year rich list.
Oprah takes the top spot on the newly-released Hollywood's 20 Highest-Earning of 2010 with an estimated $315 million windfall, while filmmaker Perry comes in third with $125 million.
The success of "Avatar" puts pioneering director James Cameron in second place with an estimated $210 million 2010 haul, while his peers Steven Spielberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, George Lucas and Michael Bay also make the top 10.
The highest musician on the list is Beyonce, who lands ahead of Lady Gaga and Britney Spears on the coveted list at number nine with an $87 million 2010 windfall. Spears came in at 13, while Gaga closely followed at 14.
Also making the top 20: Madonna, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.
Birthday boy Perry saluted at Toronto Film Festival
AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Chris Young
Box office busting writer/director Tyler Perry celebrated his 40th birthday at the Toronto Film Festival in style on Saturday night with a song from Mary J. Blige and greetings from Oprah Winfrey and Mariah Carey.
Carey jetted in from Las Vegas, where she was performing two weekend shows, to help launch her new film, "Precious," but Perry was the man of the moment at the launch party.
After declaring his new film, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself," would be America's number one movie on Sunday, Lions Gate studio bosses sprung a surprise on the filmmaker.
Blige, who makes her movie debut in his new film, sang a personalized "Happy Birthday," and "Precious" producer Winfrey was on hand to pay tribute to her pal before he was presented with a birthday cake.
"I Can Do Bad All By Myself" stormed to the top of the U.S. box office with $24 million in opening weekend sales.
Perry Denies Diva Demands
Movie mogul Tyler Perry has brushed off reports he demands co-workers to call him by his last name if they want a response, insisting the moniker is used by the cast and crew out of "respect."
The 39-year-old actor/director has come under fire for his inflated ego on the set of his TV sitcom "Tyler Perry's House of Payne," created and produced by the star since 2006.
A source tells the New York Post: "Tyler makes everyone on his staff — the crew and cast — call him 'Mr. Perry' to his face. He won't respond to anyone who calls him Tyler."
But his spokesperson insists the reports are made up, adding: "That's totally preposterous. I call him Tyler. Some people do call him 'Mr. Perry,' but it's out of respect." AP Photo/Stuart Ramson, file

Hi All-

I'm posting this on behalf of Leon, whose studio in Brooklyn was completely flooded with 5 feet of water during the storm, ruining years of his work (and some expensive tools/equipment). Unfortunately the Hundred Story House was a casualty as well, though we may try and see if it can be somehow rebuilt. We had just brought it in from the park, where it had a successful 2-month residency, though in the end it may have fared better outside during the storm.

I'm posting a link here that shows the damage done to the studio and Leon's plan to restore all that he's lost, which entails selling some of his artwork. Hope you will check it out:

Hi All--

This Saturday, the Hundred Story House will finally be up and running! Please come out to JJ Byrne Park in Park Slope, right in front of the Old Stone House, on Saturday between 11AM and 4PM for an opening reception. We'll be selling T-shirts and mugs, and there will be an incredibly nerdy contest in which a list of first-lines of famous novels will be presented, and the person(s) who can correctly name the most novels wins a gift certificate to Community Books.

Also -- please do bring books you'd like to donate! (Ideally 5 or 6, as our storage is limited. Also best if they are books you love and want to share, not old phone directories or your LSAT prep books). Kids books too!

Hope you can make it out! If not, come check out the House at any point between Saturday and October 26.

Thank you all again so much for making this happen,

Julia and Leon

Dear Faithful backers,

The Hundred Story House was given an entire 1-page feature in today's New York Daily News (Brooklyn Edition) pg. 41. This is the latest gauge of the popular support that the project has received so far and is a sign that you've all done a great job of spreading the word.

Here is a link to the article online:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/brooklyn-artists-building-mini-library-article-1.1024035?localLinksEnabled=false

With $7,435 (57%) raised and 13 days left we are in good shape to reach our goal. Not taking the moment for granted, we will continue to promote the project, solicit contributions and post updates until the goal is met.

Thanks so much again for your support. Lets keep it moving!

Dear Faithful Backers,

We are proud to say that Kickstarter has named The Hundred Story House "Project Of The Day" http://www.kickstarter.com/ Click the link today-it'll be gone tomorrow!

This is an indicator of the popular support you've helped generate by your donations and outreach. We've raised 40% of our total goal so far. If the pace of funding keeps consistent, then we could be on track to be fully funded by our deadline of March 2.

We'd like to take the time to show some of the rewards available at the $250 level. The "Masterwork Remix Series" is a set of collages created from classical paintings cut out of old art history text books. The central figure or object of interest has been removed with an exacto blade to allow the viewer to insert their own thoughts into the context of the original painting. The collages are individual works on paper, signed and mounted on 9 x 12" paper.

We thank you again for your support,

Julia & Leon

Let's explore close to the beach house… …
Directly in front of the house as you walk towards the beach you'll cross a large park and BBQ area with a great set of slides, swings and climbing gear.
Just over the sand dune from the park is Prevelly beach and a meandering beach path (suitable for walking, prams or bikes) that winds south along the bay to Gnarabup Beach or north past Surfers Point to the river mouth. Hidden between the point and the river mouth you'll find some crystal clear rock pools to explore.
Surfers Point is the internationally acclaimed break that Margaret River is famous for. It is a great vantage point to watch the surfers, kite surfers and wind surfers.
Head to the river mouth for some seriously fun boogie boarding (if your game) or canoeing down the river. I can recommend both Josh Palmeteers surf school and the Bushtucker Canoe and River tour.
Gnarabup Beach and The White Elephant Beach Cafe are tucked in the southern corner of the bay. It is an easy stroll along the beach path and is usually nice and calm out of the wind. The Elephant is a favourite spot for locals with great coffee and casual lunches. Open for from 7am (ish) for breakfast till late afternoon for lunch.

I'm looking for any info on Blackburn, Aircraft Tender. She was based in Greenock as an RNR training ship into the late 60's. This was one of the first welded ships of the RN, but the Lordships had her riveted to boot, like wearing suspenders and a belt at the same time. I recall seeing a photograph of her @ the 1953 review.

They do tend to be hokey and emotionally manipulative, as they strain to evoke the bittersweet emotions of Hanukkah and Christmas. But we love them for that, because a good cry is always welcome at this time of year. And holiday episodes can also be kooky and snarky and even subversive, providing a great antidote to the commercialization and forced joy of the season. I've tried to emphasize the comedies on this list of holiday episodes, as they address the complications of mixed-religion families, loneliness, shopping, and peace on Earth. After all, smiling is definitely in order right about now.—MATTHEW GILBERT

After alerting my neighbour that tree roots were lifting my walk path, neighbour amicably cut tree down and applied stump killer. However tree roots (suckers) have appeared in my lawn and travelled roots have lifted slabs of a distant patio. My now angry neighbour believes I should deal with the roots in my garden and is quite adamant that nothing needs to be done other than wait for the tree roots to die down having cut the tree down.
I can't walk up my path without tripping, and I am afraid of baby trees taking over my small garden. Am I right in thinking that I will be unsuccessful with a small claims action to recover the costs for any remedial work I undertake to rectify my walk path or remove invasive roots in my garden.
