Over the years, I've been to Sydney, Australia a handful of times, exploring it more and more and getting a local taste through all my wonderful friends there. After spending two wonderful weeks there last month, I wanted to share my 15 favorite things to do and see in this laid-back, warm, sunny, and gregarious city.
13 Ways to Explore Sydney on a Budget
I recently went back to Sydney after years away and I was reminded of something about Sydney I had forgotten: its high prices. The truth is that Sydney can burn a hole in your wallet quicker than actual fire. If you want to enjoy the best this city has to offer on a budget and still have fun, here are 13 ways to save big.
My 18 Favorite Things to Do in Melbourne
Melbourne is one of the funkiest cities in Australia and is often considered the country's culture capital. I've been to Melbourne four times and can honestly say it's my favorite spot in the country. There's so much to see and do in this place! This post is all about my 18 favorite things to do in Melbourne.
Ten Reasons to Visit Australia
Australia is one of the most remote countries in the world and, ironically, one of the most popular places to visit, especially among backpackers and budget travelers. Because of its distance from the US, not many Americans tend to visit Australia. The flights are long and expensive, and when you only have a few weeks […]
Coral Bay: My Beach Paradise
We all have that spot in the world where all is perfect and all is paradise. Mine's Coral Bay, a small town in Western Australia with one-road, one bar, one supermarket, three restaurants, and three hotels. In this post, I explain why I love Australia's hidden gem (and why I'm hesitant to spill the beans on it!).
Conquering My Fear of Heights
I hate heights. SERIOUSLY hate heights. Which is ironic, considering how often I fly. Any bump in the air and I grab onto the seat like Paris Hilton grabs onto bags of cocaine. I won't even go near ledges or cliffs. And if someone does manage to get me up an observation tower, it takes […]

Deciding to quit smoking can be a very healthy choice that can increase your life span, decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke and improve your stamina and immune system. However; actually quitting can be very difficult. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance and if you have been smoking for any length of time, chances are you don't really want to quit. Many people turn to nicotine patches, gums and pills that, while relieving the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, merely prolong the nicotine addiction. If you want to quit in a healthy, safe and natural way, these effective and natural methods of quitting smoking are for you.

Lobelia: Lobelia is probably the most effective natural method of quitting smoking. The herb has a powerful effect on the nervous system that induces a calm and relaxed state. Lobelia should be taken with care as it can be toxic in large quantities. Lobelia produces a chemical reaction in the brain that is similar to the effect of cigarettes. This means that careful doses of the herbs can replace your cravings for nicotine while you are suffering withdrawal from the chemical. The FDA restricts some uses of Lobelia due to it being toxic.
St. Johns Wort: St. Johns wort is an herb that is often used to treat depression in patients. This herb has been studied and found to be an effective aid in helping patients to quit smoking. One study showed that 37% quit smoking when taking St. Johns Wort then when not taking the herb. However studies also show that the effects of St. Johns wort do not last long term, should you quit smoking using the herb, you might have some return of cravings when you stop taking the supplement. St. Johns wort should not be taken with prescription or over the counter medicine. St. Johns wort is also not recommended for long term use, for women who are pregnant or nursing or for those who suffer from bipolar disorders.

Ginseng: Ginseng has been used as an effective natural cure by the Middle East for hundreds of years. The root releases chemicals that help to prevent the release of the chemical dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is the sensation of 'high' that smokers get after receiving a nicotine rush. Taking ginseng will not lessen your nicotine addiction however; you can take ginseng so that if you do break down and smoke, you are not rewarded by the calming rush of nicotine. This helps to prevent you from craving the rush and therefore helps you to stop smoking.
Herbs & Tinctures: There are many herbs and tinctures that can be used in combination to alleviate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Valerian can help you to sleep and overcome insomnia, Lemon Balm and Chamomile can help you to relax, give your body a soothing rush and can help to calm irritability and mood swings. There are many herbs that you can use. Try drinking them in teas for the fastest results or taking pills or supplements forlong term use.
Smoking is one of the most addictive habits, yet nearly half of Americans who once smoked eventually quit. To help you quit smoking, visit the Quitting Smoking section of WebMD and you'll find in-depth information here on successful smoking cessation techniques, nicotine patches, and other products.

It should have been a great couple of weeks for the government. They might not have had an actual hand in the production of a set of figures that would have bolstered any other leader on earth. They may well be being blown by the forces of the global economy and have little control over events, like a rudderless ship being tossed about on the high seas. Alternatively, they may be the architects of a renaissance of sorts, either way, it is a government's job to take credit for the good news. And there was such a lot of it about.
Government borrowing was down £700m in one month. That sounds like a lot, even to an investment banker. OK, public sector borrowing still stands at £12.8bn, but it's a start.
The take in tax revenue was up. This indicates a more robust picture of health. More taxes equals more activity - the corpse is twitching. A 3.7% rise in tax revenue and £42bn flowing in to HMRC is a pretty good result. You would think we would have heard about it.
To allay the fears of the anti-cuttists there was news that government expenditure actually rose, not fell. It was up by 3.7%.
What did fall was unemployment. That's right, it actually went down, by a not too shabby 50,000 people and the number in employment rose to the highest figure ever recorded - almost 30m persons in employ. There was a concomitant drop of 4,000 people claiming jobseekers allowance.
There was more: inflation is down. The consumer price index fell from 2.5% to 2.2%. Despite that figure being used to calculate the rise in a range of benefits, the state pension will increase by the higher figure, that is, it will go up by a larger sum than inflation. No cut there.
If you include mortgages in the mix, inflation was down to 2.6% from 2.9%.
Some economists are calling the end of the recession.
All great news, or at least great statistics, which a switched-on government could use as a weapon to batter the opposition, cow a revolting populace and blot the inky ire of a slavering press.
And did they? Well...no, because they spent the entire time on the ropes being punched about the chops by Andrew Mitchell's gate gate and then George Boo Osborne's First Class Debacle. That's all the press talked about all week. The government looked out for the count. Even leader of the opposition Hopeless Ed was allowed to land a few jabs. It could only have got worse if Jimmy Savile had been found to be Cameron's dad.
The Great Forehead-o, Prime Minister Dave even shared in the approval of no less an august institution than the Nobel Committee which awarded him co-ownership of their Prize for Peace. He responded by refusing to collect it. He actually started a war about a peace prize!
I know times are hard, and there is a push to cut spending on all but the most vital of projects, but perhaps a new PR whiz would be a good investment for the coalition. Someone who could persuade them against snatching defeat from the jaws of success.

Susan Farmer, who in 1982 became the first women elected to statewide office in Rhode Island when as a Republican she ousted a longtime Democratic incumbent to become secretary of state, has died after a protracted battle with cancer. She was 71.
Former Secretary of State and public television executive Susan Farmer has died after a long fight with cancer.
Farmer became the first woman elected to statewide office when she won an election for secretary of state in 1982. Former Providence Journal political columnist M. Charles Bakst said Farmer was the leader in a wave of GOP women winning political office.
"Republicans led the way in this state. Five of the first six women who were elected to office were Republicans," said Bakst. "She was a liberal Republican. In her day, that was the thing to be."
Malcolm `Mac" Farmer III was once one of Providence's best known Republicans, a city council member with a sharp eye for financial and legal issues. A prominent lawyer, Farmer was a staunch moderate and supporter of civil rights who was a well-regarded voice of reason on a council riven by ethnic and partisan grandstanding . He is the husband of Susan Farmer, a Republican who in 1982 became the first women elected to statewide office in Rhode Island when she won as secretary of state.
The YWCA Rhode Island is out with its 5th annual Women Holding Office Celebration. This year the YWCA will honor two path-breaking Rhode Island women political figures with the Isabelle Ahearn O'Neill award. Republican Susan L. Farmer, who in 1982 became the first woman elected to a statewide office in Rhode Island when she was elected secretary of state, and Kathleen S. Connell, who became the first Democratic woman to win statewide office when she was elected secretary of state in 1986.

Honesty compels: Bucs far from good
Hubert Mizell,
The St.Petersburg Times
, published 2 October 1995
Bucs win! There's little else to blow from the Tampa Bay trumpet. Winning ugly does beat losing pretty. Trent Dilfer was knocked silly, but Casey Weldon came out of Tampa Bay's bullpen to get a nice save. Carolina's NFL infants dramatically outplayed the Bucs, failing to celebrate Win One only due to four Panther-party-pooping turnovers.
Let's be candid, no matter Sunday's bottom line for Tampa Bay. Today's newspaper reaffirms that the Bucs have a 3-2 record, rising within a half-game of the NFC Central lead, but did they really approach levels of proficiency that would suggest a rare non-losing Tampa Bay record is likely in 1995? Not if we're honest.
Let's you, me and Diogenes lend our skeptical ears to the Bucs' locker room, checking to see whether they know what we know. That the defense must be 25 or 30 percent more efficient, plus their offense getting maybe 40 percent better, if this is to legitimately become "A New Day in Tampa Bay."
Don't bother asking Sam Wyche. Tampa Bay's coach was a bit lower on the sugar than usual Sunday, but he is prone to goody-goody analysis. He can sound like a commentator who's coming from somewhere between Capitol Hill and Fantasyland. But, from elsewhere in the Bucs' lair, from Dilfer the kayoed QB and from newly imported Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Rusty Tillman, you and I and lamp-swinging old Diogenes found there is candor and realism that simmers among the people who are paid to put owner Malcolm Glazer's product on the field.
"We s-----," said Tillman, whose defense had been the reasonably stable axis around which Tampa Bay's early season had rallied. "We've got to be more disciplined and learn to play our defense the right way."
Steam came from his ears. "It's the worst game I've ever been around as a defensive coach," Tillman assessed. "You're not going to win much in the National Football League playing like that. I chewed their butts out at halftime. They'll get it again Monday. You've got to be hungry every single day. What happened out there was embarrassing."
Were the Bucs lucky to escape? "Big time," Tillman said.
I liked the fire coming from Rusty's nostrils. I loved his Rusty honesty. So often, I've wondered whether the Bucs needed more coaching bootprints on their behinds. I'm not suggesting that Wyche, Tillman and coaching comrades should constantly come after players with an angry ax. But, without question, all 53 of Tampa Bay's employed athletes should understand, in case some are prone to residence in Giddy Land, that the Bucs must dramatically turn up their defensive and offensive flames from Clemson Sunday. I mean, if these fellows really are serious about going from double-digit-loss seasons to legitimate accomplishment.
Now let's move over to Dilfer's stall, where the struggling Tampa Bay quarterback is gulping Advil to fight the smashing headache that followed his Carolina-created concussion. Tone down your lamp, Diogenes, the kid's eyes are killing him.
But, even in pain, while remembering little from a game that had bang-bonged him into mental oblivion, Dilfer nonetheless had an accurate and admirable view of where the offense stands, plus where it needs to be. "We aren't putting drives together like we should," Dilfer said, showing Tillman-like openness. "We don't really know what's causing our breakdowns. We have a good, experienced offensive line. Our receivers are great. Errict Rhett can really run."
Veteran center Tony Mayberry dittoed Trent's concern. "We've not been satisfied all season with our offensive production," the sixth-year pro from Wake Forest said. "We're not completely on the same page. We have not at all played to our ability."
Back to the dinged QB. "We're just not getting the job done," Dilfer said. "I am absolutely part of the problem. I've got to learn faster and do my job more efficiently. It makes no sense of our offense to be as off-key as it has been. If we continue to play offense like this, we are never going to turn our 3-2 record into a 6-3 or some other numbers that are really good."
But the Bucs did win. They are 3-2, a half-game behind the division-leading Green Bay Packers. Let's keep some perspective, both pro and con. Another thing: Weldon, despite taking only one snap in practices in the weeks leading to Clemson, did enough good work to get the turbulent Tampa Bay ship steered past the baby Panthers.
Embarrassment was heavily threatened. "We've got to play better, but it's a great feeling for me," said Weldon, a former Florida State quarterback in his fourth NFL season of waiting his turn to play. "I probably learned more from this game than from the rest of my pro football career."
Dilfer had a puny 3-for-12 passing afternoon, although some footballs were thrown after he'd been knocked silly. Weldon completed 9 of 20. It was just enough to keep the Bucs from being sunk by a franchise that has never won a game.
Weldon's first appearance was a one-play cameo. Dilfer then returned, having convinced Wyche that he was okay after being smacked in the head. Casey became openly angry at his head coach. "I knew Trent didn't know where he was," Weldon said. "How did I know? Well, Dilfer looked twice as goofy as he usually looks." Casey grinned. "Quote me on that," he added. Weldon's relationship with Dilfer is competitive but extremely friendly. Casey did some really good work," Dilfer would say, "but he needed to do something right, after the way I hammered him playing cards Saturday night."
They'd beaten Carolina. Escaped the first-year Panthers. But everybody knew in the locker room, at least being honest with themselves, that production must improve if 3-2 is to grow into something really good.

Good morning all! I am asking all of you who read this to continue praying for all those in the path of the horrible hurricane which once again is headed toward the Gulf Coast of the U.S. For those who live there or have lived there in the past, memories of Katrina's devastation are still too raw and now they have to go through this again.
For people who have never been to this part of the States, it might be hard to understand why people live in area that is prone to horrible hurricanes, but for many this is the only home they have ever known. They returned after Katerina or never left because their roots are here. There is so much more to the Gulf region beside what people see of New Orlean. Much of produce, sugar, oil and many other commodities are produced here. We will all feel the impact of this deadly storm.
Please keep all people in this region in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

The refugees, mostly members of the Karen ethnic group, have been living in camps in Thailand. But funding for the camps is dwindling as international donors turn to what they see as more urgent crises.
Thais are mourning King Bhumipol, who died Thursday and was a beloved figure. They have far less faith in the crown prince.
Revelations of forced labor in Southeast Asia's seafood trade have led to legislative action by Congress that will strengthen the power of customs officials to reject tainted goods.
Some 15 million people worldwide are denied basic rights because they lack legal nationality. Thailand, which has one of the world's largest stateless populations, is trying to tackle the problem.
The economic superpowers are vying to construct megaprojects across the continent. Countries like Indonesia have much to gain.
Authorities arrested a man on the Thai-Cambodian border who is accused of being a main plotter and organizer of the Aug. 17 terror attack on a Hindu shrine in Bangkok.
An informal collaboration between police and more than 100,000 motorcycle taxi drivers has informed the footwork that led authorities to detain suspects in the case. Twenty people died when a bomb exploded at a Hindu shrine two weeks ago.
Raids at two apartments in Bangkok led police to issue warrants for two more suspects in the bombing at a Hindu shrine that killed 20 people two weeks ago.
Thailand's police chief did not offer details about who else might be involved in the deadly attack, though they asserted that Thai citizens were involved. At least 20 people died in Monday's bombing at a shrine.
Monday's bombing at a Hindu shrine at a downtown junction killed at least 20 people, including several Asian tourists who were praying. Police said a second botched attack Tuesday at a pier used the same type of explosive.

Thousands of Rohingya Muslims are fleeing by sea from Myanmar, abetted by human smugglers whose crews later abandon ships mid-crossing. The surge in sea crossings has led to finger pointing among neighboring countries.
Southeast Asia is in the grips of a spiraling humanitarian crisis. Around 1,600 migrants have landed on the shores of Indonesia and Malaysia in recent days.
Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar who face persecution at home are making perilous boat crossings to Thailand and Malaysia, provoking strong reactions from regional governments. Thailand is a hub for human trafficking.
The discovery of the camp was a sharp reminder that little has changed despite repeated assurances by authorities that they are addressing the root causes of human trafficking.

Pro-democracy activists in Thailand have used a symbol from the dystopian movie franchise to signal their anger at the country's coup – and military rulers have had enough.
Amnesty International released a report today saying it has credible reports that detainees in Thailand have been tortured since the Army seized power in a May coup.
A fake Facebook application run by the Thai government tricked hundreds into disclosing personal information. It comes as Thailand's military rulers increase media censorship.

Bajrang Dal objects to Leone's presence in Indore; Ekta Kapoor unfazed
Ekta Kapoor is determined not to skip Indore even after members of Bajrang Dal objects to Sunny Leone's proposed visit to for promotion of her film 'Ragini MMS 2'
Unfazed by threats from the saffron brigade, the team of Ragini MMS 2 — which stars Sunny Leone — has decided to visit Indore next week for the film's promotions.
Ekta Kapoor and Sunny Leone
Bajrang Dal activists had taken exception to the former adult film actress's entry into the city and even warned the owner of a mall against allowing the crew inside.
However, producer Ekta Kapoor is determined not to skip Indore from her list of promotion venues. "Indore is an important market and we have written to the authorities concerned seeking entry to certain places. At the end of the day, it is about connecting with the audience," said Ekta.
Pinku Chhabbra, owner of the C-21 Mall that the Ragini MMS team has selected as a promotional venue, said, "Sunny's past could be an issue with some people. We are aware that the Bajrang Dal members may create problems for us, but she is welcome to our mall."

Man heard telling alleged victim to drop the case
Updated 11:09 pm, Tuesday, July 10, 2012
ALBANY — A rape defendant was recorded on a jailhouse phone begging his alleged victim to drop her case against him as he conceded there was "something seriously wrong" with him, according to evidence played in court Tuesday.
Marc Pham, 37, asked the woman — who later died in a death not ruled suspicious — not to pursue rape and sodomy charges against him for his alleged attack on her inside a Hackett Avenue apartment on Sept. 18. He is now on trial on those charges in Albany County Court.
"I go back to court Wednesday. Please, don't press it, OK?" Pham asked the 25-year-old woman days after the incident from the Albany County jail, where calls are recorded. "I was caught in the moment. I was so overwhelmed."
The woman sounded unmoved as Pham continually pleaded with her not to send him behind bars. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of charges of first-degree rape, criminal sex act, criminal contempt and tampering with a witness. That is more time than he apparently expected he could receive, according to the recording.
"I want to know what's going on with this — I'm looking at 10 years!" Pham told the woman. She responded, "Even if I wanted to, I can't help you."
Pham later told her, "There is something seriously wrong with me. I know that."
The woman responded, "You need (expletive) help!"
Pham, who was arrested on the day of the alleged rape, went to trial Monday before Judge Stephen Herrick.
On Tuesday, Assistant District Attorney Chantelle Schember told jurors that on Sept. 18, Pham violated an order of protection and approached the woman. When she spurned his advances, the prosecutor said, Pham pushed the woman to the floor, forcibly raped her and forced her to engage in oral sex.
His attorney, Andrew Purrott, said the encounter was consensual.
Among the first witnesses Schember called was Dr. Lindsay Stokes, who examined the woman using a rape kit at Albany Medical Center Hospital. Stokes said the woman had scratches on her right shoulder and had felt pain in her vaginal area, but had no tearing or bleeding. She said the woman's appearance was consistent with her account of being raped. The doctor said the woman told her she had asked Pham during the attack, "Why are you doing this?" He responded, "Because I love you," the doctor recalled the woman saying.
Schember rested her case late Tuesday. The defense is expected to start its case at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan - The Marines dubbed it the "Mega Convoy," a rolling wall of armored vehicles and load trucks that stretched for more than a mile.
An armada of roughly 30 vehicles and 80 Marines with Combat Logistics Regiment 2, Regional Command (Southwest), departed their motor pool here in the pre-dawn hours of Aug. 22, embarking on one of the largest logistics patrols since their arrival in Afghanistan in mid-July.
The massive line of Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles and Logistics System Vehicle Replacement tractors moved its way along paved desert highways and off-road paths. Clouds of dust made it nearly impossible to view the entire length of the convoy as the vehicles pushed north.
The multipronged combat logistics patrol pooled the defensive capabilities of two separate convoys in a consolidated effort to resupply Forward Operating Bases Shir Ghazi and Shukvani in Helmand province.
The "Mega Convoy" split into two sections. By mid-afternoon, both groups of Marines reached their respective FOBs, conducted offload operations and hunkered down for a night of rest. The two sections reintegrated the following day for the return trip to Camp Leatherneck.
In addition to resupplying FOBs Shir Ghazi and Shukvai, the convoy hauled numerous vehicles back to Camp Leatherneck as part of continuing retrograde operations in the province.
The entire operation took less than two days to complete. It will serve as a model for future convoy operations supporting the various outposts and FOBs throughout the area.

for National Geographic News
Extensive whale and seal hunting in Antarctica over the past 200 years appears to have triggered a shift in the diet of Adélie penguins, a new study suggests.
The seabirds abandoned fish in favor of krill, shrimp-like crustaceans that are a major component in the diets of fur seals and baleen whales.
The finding supports a theory that Antarctic sealing and whaling led to a krill population explosion, and the penguins apparently took advantage of the surplus.
"We have some pretty good direct data that penguins were switching to krill when it became highly available," said Steve Emslie, a biologist at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington.
Emslie is the co-author of a paper on the findings reported earlier this month in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Penguin Fossils
Emslie and colleague William Patterson of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, based the finding on analysis of more than 220 fossil eggshell fragments ranging from the past 100 to 38,000 years.
The proportions of certain forms of carbon and nitrogen in the eggshells tell the researchers what type of food the penguins ate in the days before laying their eggs.
For most of the past 38,000 years, the penguins ate a variable diet heavy on fish, which are higher up the food chain than krill. The birds changed to krill a few centuries ago.
"This implies a huge ecological dietary response by the penguins in relation to some change in their environment," Keith Hobson of Environment Canada, the nation's environment agency, commented in an email.
The dietary shift coincides with the advent of whaling and sealing in the region, suggesting the sudden abundance of easier-to-catch krill was a preferable high-energy food source, Emslie said.
Hobson, who was not part of the research, said such an explanation is plausible but only makes sense if accompanied by a reduction in fish supply.

After graduation from the Clerical Seminary and Clerical Academy in Moscow, he returned to Georgia. During his study in the Academy, Catholicos-Patriarch Melkisedek III assigned him as a priest Ilia (Like Elijah) to the Batumi Cathedral Temple. Afterwards, he was promoted to hegumen and, in 1959, to archimandrite.
On August 26, 1963, he was consecrated as the bishop of Shemokmedi. From 1963 to 1972, he was the first rector of Mtskheta Clerical Seminary. In 1967, he became archbishop of Tskhum-Abkhazia and elevated to the rank of Metropolitan. On December 25, 1977, he was inaugurated as a new Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II by the Synod.
In 1978-1983, Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II was president of the World Council of Churches (WCC). His Holiness and Beatitude has received the highest church awards from the Patriarchs of the Orthodox Churches of Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and almost all other orthodox churches. As a productive theologian and church historian, he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Theology from the St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in New York (1986) as well as from the Academy of Sciences in Crete (1997) and St. Thikon's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania (1998). He was also elected as a Real Academician of the UN International Academy of Information.
Ilia II is an Honorary Academician of the Georgian Academy of Sciences (2003) and of the International Academy for the Promotion of Scientific Research (2007). In February 2008, His Grace was awarded the David Guramishvili Prize.
During his patriarchate the Georgian church regained its influence and prestige. In 1988, the Mtskheta Clerical Seminary was moved to Tbilisi, and a new clerical academy was founded in the city. On the initiative of Ilia II, a lot of clerical seminaries were established in the Georgian territories. After many centuries, the historic Gelati Clerical Academy was re-established, and Gelati Academy of Sciences was founded.
During the 20 years of Ilia II's patriarchate, the number of Georgian eparchies has grown from 15 to 33, the number of monasteries, up to 53; On his initiative, the biggest cathedral of Georgia, St. Trinity, was built in Tbilisi. Many clerical publications and newspapers were founded and the new Bible in the modern Georgian language was published.
This is very little information on His Holiness and Beatitude, Archbishop of Mtskheta-Tbilisi and Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II's contribution to Georgia's spiritual development.

Last year Today show host Savannah Guthrie announced that she was engaged to longtime boyfriend Mike Feldman, and over this past weekend the two walked down the aisle in Tuscson, Ariz., where Guthrie grew up.
But that's only half the story. The 42 year old is also four months pregnant. She's been keeping the news a secret, and probably wanted reveal it when she was officially married, but either way Guthrie is completely over the moon, she says.
"We are so excited, overjoyed and feel so blessed," she stated.
In addition, the 5'10" beauty said she and Feldman were planning to get married at a later date, but once they found out they were expecting, they bumped the wedding date up a bit, and Guthrie said she was relieved to tell the public about her pregnancy, because she was finding it harder and harder to hide her belly.
"We set the wedding date, I bought my dress, and then I found out," said Guthrie, as she spoke about the wedding and her pregnancy on Monday's Today show. "So I did a little praying....I feel great, and actually I'm happy to tell the world because I can't suck in this gut anymore."
According to Guthrie, her and Feldman will be having a summer baby, and the two told their wedding guest about the pregnancy during the reception.
We did! pic.twitter.com/Rn73rpsRai
— Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) March 17, 2014
"Savannah looked at Mike, and said, 'So should we break some news?'" an inside source revealed. "'Okay. I, we, are four months pregnant.'" It was an explosive moment. Everyone was on their feet, cheering."
Some of Guthrie's NBC colleagues were in attendance including Willie Geist, Chuck Todd, Al Roker and her Today show co-host Matt Lauer.
From 2005 to 2009, Guthrie was married to television producer Mark Orchard, and during an interview with Vogue, she alluded to the fact that her job got in the way of her first marriage, but that was never her intention, she said.
"I would never put my job before my family," noted Guthrie. "I have all the same hopes that most women have. I want to get married and have kids; it just hasn't happened."
Well, now it has happened, so mission accomplished for Ms. Guthrie. A big congrats!

Extracts from the Campbell Street Gaol Gate-book
Compiled by Laurie Moody
Part Eight
This is a continuation of the series on Rural Offences. The following is a list of offenders who were tried at country police offices or courts, usually before the local justice of the peace. Found guilty, they were sentenced to varying terms of imprisonment in the Campbell Street Gaol in Hobart.
Pontville (98) is the town selected for Part Eight. A search of BDM records was undertaken for each person mentioned, but unfortunately in some cases this did not always provide information.
The use of 'aka' indicates 'also known as', Van Diemen's Land appears as VDL, New South Wales as NSW, Campbell Street Gaol as CSG, Ticket of Leave as TOL, Conditional Pardon as CP, Births, Deaths and Marriages appear as BDM. It must be noted that the gate-book records show most transported convicts as being free settlers hence the free in Italics. It is also to be noted that females were only sent to CSG from 1888. The use of [?] indicates possibly more than just one.

I have heard of the black walnuts in ammonia way of making stain, but this is different.
Left over coffee... something seldom found in my home, balsamic vinegar and teriyaki sauce?
I have heard of the black walnuts in ammonia way of making stain, but this is different.
Left over coffee... something seldom found in my home, balsamic vinegar and teriyaki sauce?
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Is it better than Vinegor & steel wool?
I'm not where I can watch it now, but I'll check it out. I have used really strong tea + steel wool disolved in vinegar to ebionize wood. I used it on Borg SPF (I think it was spruce), but I imagine it would have worked better on oak or something with a lot of tannins. Still, the two together worked pretty well. I'll post pictures when I get the chance. The steel wool/vinegar by itself left the wood a medium brown.
They really never give you a good look at the wood but from what little I could see it didn't do much staining. And the formula was pretty vague, too - some coffee, a little balsamic vinegar ans some teriyaki sauce. What proportions of each? Sounds like something good for a sound bite but not very practical.
You'd best be careful of "vegetable dyes". They might fade out soon.
When I made the spinet harpsichord in my movie,I used a old formula of powdered oak galls,steel chips and vinegar. This was in 1974. The dye was an intense jet black. The sharps were pearwood on the original we were copying,and so was the repro. Over the years,the black has become a bit brownish,which is o.k.,since the original is that way too,and such is the nature of early stains. 18th.C. furniture was a lot more colorful than we see it today. The mahogany furniture was made redder than we see it today. Many times,the mahogany is so faded that it is hard to tell from walnut today.
I've experimented with just about everything for ebonizing. The best for me is buying dye concentrate. It's cheap in the end, and lasts forever, so I'm rarely out of stock. It gives the most consistent, clearest results. Steel wool and vinegar has a high 'neato cool' factor, but it has been unpredictable on anything but oak and walnut (for me).
I have also found it invaluable for controlled darkening of other colors .
Transtint (liquid) and Transfast (powder) are both available from Woodcraft & Rockler. The Transfast is cheaper, but personally, I find it a pain to mix and strain. Failure to strain has led to spotting for me. The Transtint is just so darn easy - and comes with it's own dropper cap, so it's fairly clean to use. If yr a hobbyist like me, a single 2oz bottle will last a long time.
The only caveat is that some people find the Transtint/Transfast blacks a little 'blueblack' for their taste.
The 'truest' black was found here by someone to be India Ink. I'm fine with the TT's.

Is it tough to get noticed when your hotel is located just one block away from two enormous, much more famous hotels? If you're The Huntington Hotel in San Francisco, the answer is a resounding no.
The Huntington, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, sits atop Nob Hill, a spectacular neighborhood where, one block away, looms the
The 12-story hotel was built in 1924 and originally operated as one-bedroom hotel apartments until 1947. In 1950, the hotel's owner, Eugene Fritz, gave the hotel to his daughter, Dolly, so he could pursue other real estate ventures. Together with her husband, Newton Cope, the pair undertook a major renovation of the Huntington that filled it with antiques and original artwork.
Today, the six Cope children run the place. John Cope is president of closely held Nob Hill Properties, which also owns the La Playa Hotel and Cottages-by-the-Sea in Carmel.
Sitting in the hotel, which was once surrounded by mansions owned by the railroad barons of the day, one can hear cable cars running up and down the impossibly steep hills. Some rooms have views of San Francisco Bay, though most peek out onto the city, Grace Cathedral or the Pacific-Union Club.
The lobby and rooms are appointed with china cabinets filled with Asian-inspired pieces and soft-hued furniture that looks and feels lived-in but is somehow elegant at the same time.
In 2001, the Huntington transformed what was its second restaurant into an 11,000 square-foot spa that features an indoor pool, fireplaces, wellness studio with Pilates and yoga classes, feng shui-inspired treatment rooms, fitness equipment and steam and sauna rooms. The large pool area spills out to a large outdoor deck where, weather permitting, guests can indulge in a pedicure while soaking up city views and sipping cucumber-infused water.
The Huntington's other crown jewel is the Big 4 Restaurant, so-named for the four big tycoons of the Central Pacific Railroad in the 19th century: Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Collis P. Huntington and Mark Hopkins. Dark and manly, with deep colors and a club-like atmosphere, the Big 4 features an adventurous menu of wild game as well as American fare.
The restaurant and bar area is plastered with a great collection of 19th-century railroad artifacts and California memorabilia.
Hotel Particulars | Should You Stay Here? | Rates & Information
Checking into the Huntington, you do get a sense of its past life as a hotel apartment building. The small elevators are padded and lined with deep red fabrics, the hallways are narrow and feature a mail chute on each floor. After settling in, guests are offered tea or sherry.
The large windows tilt open enough that guests can almost smell the waters of San Francisco Bay. The soothing, only-in-San Francisco sound of the ding of cable cars can be heard faintly from the guest rooms. Guests can hop on a car, which stops in front of the hotel, to get to the magnificent shopping in Union Square or culinary delights of Fisherman's Wharf, where some of the best crab sandwiches can be had from vendors who set up outside the restaurants.
If your lungs and legs can take it--the hills surrounding the Huntington are long and among the steepest in the city--walk around the neighborhood and marvel at the rows of Victorian homes. San Francisco is the perfect mix of urban chic and outdoorsy crunch. There are many amazing sights within three miles of the hotel, including the Marina Green, the lively park with a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The hotel offers free car service to a few select destinations between 8 A.M. and 4 P.M.
The spa offers a wide range of massages and scrubs, facials, nail care, waxing and light therapy, which is said to reduce the signs of aging. Massages are offered in-room, and Patio Pedicures are performed on the deck, along with a glass of champagne.
The hotel's not all about fun, of course. For business travelers, there are meeting rooms that can hold up to 75 people, and each guest room offers free high-speed Internet access via DSL.
Overview | Should You Stay Here? | Rates & Information
The Huntington caters to a mix of families, tourists and business travelers. Business people will find the rooms have all the standard accoutrements, not to mention the hotel's luxe, quiet lounge and restaurant for business meetings.
The rooms are bigger than average, a reminder of its decision not to downsize rooms when it transitioned from apartments to a full-service hotel.
The location can't be beat. In fact, the hotel spokesperson couldn't help but point out the Huntington, unlike the nearby Fairmont and Mark Hopkins, is actually on the top of Nob Hill, rather than near the top.
The Huntington is a welcome change from some of the larger, busier, louder hotels of San Francisco, the kind of place where the doorman compliments your appearance on your way out for the evening.

hip dysplasia
Definition: a chronic degenerative condition producing lameness in animals, of highest prevalence in particular dog breeds. Laxity of ligaments about the hip joint permits erosion of weight-bearing surfaces, which is exacerbated by strenuous exercise in rapidly growing dogs. Etiology is multifactorial. Radiographic correlation with clinical signs is poor.

Chicago Bears: Vernon Gholston Coming in Under the RadarAugust 4, 2011
Defensive end Vernon Gholston had monumental expectations when he was drafted by the New York Jets. After three seasons, he has yet to record a sack, and the most tackles he's made in a season is 17—hardly worth being the No. 6 overall pick, let alone being drafted at all. He's a mystery, that's for sure, and he's certainly not the first defensive end to be labeled a bust.
Gholston recorded 14.5 sacks (a school record) for Ohio State in 2007. He totaled 21.5 sacks in his college career, so there were questions about him being a one-hit wonder.
And maybe he was, but he was never a 3-4 stand-up linebacker, which is the position the Jets drafted him to play at. Granted, he actually did convert back to defensive end after 2009, but even then he received very little playing time.
Maybe his practice habits weren't impressive, or maybe the pressure of his huge contract was too much for him to perform.
So the Bears take a low-risk chance by signing him, and giving him the opportunity to jump-start his career. Chicago runs a 4-3 defense, and it's at its best when the defensive ends are getting pressure on the quarterback.
Also, playing opposite Julius Peppers will only help. We saw Israel Idonije have a breakout season (one he owes many thanks to Peppers for), and all over the league defensive ends such as Ray Edwards (playing opposite Jared Allen) are left to go one-on-one with the offensive tackles. What more could a defensive end dream for?
To add to the "Peppers factor," one thing Ohio State defensive players all have is versatility. Peppers loves to switch between the two defensive end spots, so that plays right into Gholston's strength as he did the same thing at Ohio State.
Bears fans shouldn't expect a sudden explosion of sacks this season from Gholston, but Rod Marinelli is known for getting the most out of his D-linemen. And the Bears do need pass-rushing help since they consistently only rush four.
Gholston arrived to training camp with zero expectations. The pressure of being the No. 6 overall pick in New York City is long gone. He's a physical specimen at 6'3" and 260 pounds, so the raw talent is still there.
He still has to make the team, so it's a little too early to dream any bold predictions, but I'll do it anyway: Vernon Gholston not only records his first career sack this season in a Bears uniform, he becomes a key contributor on defense and possibly starts alongside Julius Peppers.
What does every player labeled an "NFL bust" want? A fresh start. A chance to prove himself. And now Gholston has one with the Chicago Bears.

Development of BMW's new compact 1-Series Sedan continues in Europe where our spies nabbed a prototype testing in a production suite that now includes real lights on both ends.
BMW provided a very close view of what their 1-Series saloon will look like when it arrives next year with the 'Concept Compact Sedan' at the Auto Guangzhou 2015 in China last November.
Comparing the study's profile to this prototype, it appears that BMW might have added a few inches in height and length to the rear section, while shaving an inch or two from the front overhang, improving the car's proportions and stance in the process.
What hasn't changed is the German manufacture's decision to base the 1-Series sedan on their modular front-wheel drive UKL platform shared with the X1 and 2-Series Active Tourer models, with the option of their xDrive all-wheel drive system.
BMW's minivan will also be the powertrain source, with a similar mix of 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four–cylinder turbocharged diesel and petrol units paired to six-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions.
While some recent reports have suggested that the 1-Series will be sold exclusively in China, others have said it will be a global model that will land in the USA and Canada in the first half of 2017 to compete against the existing Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA sedans. If it is a global car, then we can surely expect to see an M Performance variant sporting the same tweaked B58 2.0-liter turbo four with over 300-horses mated to BMW's xDrive AWD system that will be employed on the upcoming X2 sports crossover.

Don't blame the MAC. If Hawaii can't schedule home games, then nobody can. The promise of playing a game at Hawaii is a great recruiting tool. If their AD can't capitalize on their wonderful opportunity (an opportunity that no other school has), then Hawaii can't blame anyone but themselves.

text: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — You might call them an extremely pumped up pair of Reeboks. A 71-year-old shopper and a sales clerk at Dillard's in the Indian River Mall said they found more than $5,200 in cash stuffed in the toe of a black Reebok sneaker Tuesday morning, according to a report by the Indian River County Sheriff's Office. The store clerk had brought out the shoes from a stockroom box when the customer asked for a pair of size 10 shoes, the report states. The customer found the money when he was trying on the shoes. He reached in the sneaker, expecting to grab some tissue paper normally stuffed inside shoes, but grabbed a wad of cash instead. The store's accounting department did not have any money missing from the store's safe, the report said. The manager at Dillard's told the Sheriff's Office the shoes likely had been previously purchased and returned, based on the way the shoes were laced; the lacing style was different than the way the factory laces them. But there's no Cinderella to this tale for now. Since the owner of the money couldn't immediately be found, it was turned over to the Sheriff's Office for evidence. Sheriff's spokesman Jeff Luther said the cash will be held for 90 days and advertised as lost property. The Sheriff's Office policy is if no one claims the property in three months, it goes to the person who found it. The mall customer who tried on the dollar-filled shoe declined to comment. A Vero Beach man found $5,210 inside a shoe at a store in the Indian River Mall Tuesday. Here's the breakdown of the cash by denomination, as counted by two deputies for the Indian River County Sheriff's Office: •26 — $100 bills •39 — $50 bills •33 — $20 bills

Miracle in Action
Ani Luana Parizal was born at 26 weeks gestation. Entering the world at 720kg (1pound 9ounces), in berkley CA. on Feb.14,2013. She was delivered per C-section, and was assessed and taken immdently to the NICU. She initially was breathing on her own but as night fell, I was updated that she had to be intimated, to help her breath easier. It all happened so fast as a mother, I was concerned but so uninformed about Preemie babies, i couldn't fully process everything that was happening. Soon after birth she required a common heart surgery called a PDA ligation. Which was quite frighting, but went successful. Ani's dad and I had been warned by doctors that, her journey home would be a up and down roller coaster, one step forward followed by two steps back. We had no idea what to expect. All we could do was Pray. A short while after her heart procedure, her tiny belly was descended and all the test to find out what was the cause was unsuccessful. She was then transferred to CHO(Childrens Hospital Oakland) to resolve the belly concern. Upon arrival, we were informed surgery was necessary. She ended up have multiply surgeries on her intestines, in which they had to remove more and more intestine,ultimately leaving her with a condition called Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). She was finally stable enough to come home Nov of 2013. Ani home coming was not that of her older brother who was born full term. Ani came home with a broviac that had 2 IV pumps infusing TPN and a special Lipid called Omegavan in to her 20hrs a day. This Broviac line is her life line with out it she would not survive. Since the section of intestines were most of our nutrition is absorbed is gone, this is how she gets her nutrition. She also came home with a feeding pump and G-tube connected to her belly. Along with a Detailed plan of care from the doctors. She requires home nurse to care for her IV needs and medication . Its different with a special needs child, you become so emmuresed in the health care world and the condition of your child when you are around the "normal" parents with "normal" kids, your like ummm thats "weird" lol. One thing that i just love to see is children eating. See Ani doesnt eat meals, she has recreation eating therapy in hopes to keep her from having food aversion which is a typical condition kids with feeding tubes get. She struggled with that for a while but we are now gaining ground. With each milestone such as sitting up for instance took Ani way long to reach due to such a long hospital stay, we see it as a miracle. For it she Ani truly is, her chances to live was not 100% and to know to be told by doctors and nurse that She will have to FIGHT to go home, left me personally shaken. like a movie clip i played the moment i found out i was expecting, the plans i had for her nursery never in that clip was there a doubt that i may not bring my baby home and never did i think i would be a parent of a special needs child.I had to seriously seek GOD in what was going on. I remember feeling guilty like i did something ate something that caused Ani to have to suffer the trails she was in. Questions would lead to more questions...even now i have questions..but you see Short Gutt is still kida of new in a way, its not like cancer were you have it they treat with radiation and chemo and it goes into remission. short gutt is treated individually every case is different, you see what has worked for most and try it. The future for Ani as far as her condition is we strive to increase the volume of tube feeding and decrease her IV infusion. to ultimately be 100% entrial feed and dependent. and once we do that we work on getting her to receive bulos feeds which are like interal feeds. It will be a long slow process. With Ani even in her motor skills she takes baby steps. I learn from her so much. When you slow down and take each moment of growth at a segment at a time you are truly LIVinG. You are embracing the moments of growth. Each time she has her PT and is taught a new leg rotation or transition move I witness the miracle of life. There are so many segments to just roll over but i would have never known had i not had Ani. Is it hard Of course, Is it overwhelming Yes. the whole month of March we had an appointment except for 3 weekdays. follow up here, test there, ER visits...do i wish Ani was born like her brother full term and health as an ox? NO! I wouldn't know how to trust God for the MOMent, I wouldn't know how to excersise Faith, I wouldn't know what a beautiful dance life is with out my Miracle in Action....ANI!

UFC 145: Is the UFC Trying to Give Rory MacDonald an Easy Win?April 18, 2012
This is not meant as disrespect towards Che Mills. I'm sure he's a dedicated athlete and a fine fighter. But millions will tune into his bout Saturday night in Atlanta, the semi-main event of the evening no less, and ask themselves and their buddies a single, pertinent question.
Who the hell is Che Mills?
Less important than who Mills is, although for the record he's a British striker with solid standup and a limited ground game, is what he represents. For years, the UFC has thrown its prospects straight into the deep end of the pool to sink or swim on their own merits. No more.
Mills is a creature thought to be extinct in the modern UFC—an opponent.
An opponent isn't the same thing as a tomato can, but there's no doubt that diminutive is being tossed towards Mills right and left on MMA message boards the world over. No, an opponent is a different sort of fighter altogether.
He's solid and dangerous and could conceivably even win the fight. But that's not why he's there. The opponent is usually a legitimate fighter picked out from the crowd to allow the star to shine. He will have a weakness that can be exposed. If the going gets tough, this can be used against him, a real-life Konami cheat code of sorts.
For Mills, that's the ground game. Tap "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, A, B, A" and Mills will find himself in world of hurt, at the star's mercy.
Here, the star is Rory MacDonald. Just 22 years old, the Canadian prospect has all the potential in the world. The UFC rushed him a bit early in his career and Carlos Condit took advantage. This time, they want to do it right. His potential is too vast to do anything else. His coach, Firas Zahabi, believes he could be the next Georges St-Pierre, and Zihabi knows a little bit about that—he's been Georges' lead trainer for years.
For the UFC, this is smart business. It's important to build fighters into stars, marketable commodities who can sell tickets and pay-per-views. That doesn't happen organically by winning some and losing some on the undercard. A star is born when a fighter wins, often and impressively.
That's what this fight is. A high-profile opportunity for MacDonald to work some magic and win in impressive fashion. That will allow him, down the road, to step into the main event without anyone asking that awful question—who the hell is Rory MacDonald?

Two accused in CFCC student's murder talk about the crime, impact
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — It has been just five days since 19-year-old Joshua Proutey was murdered in downtown Wilmington. Tonight, WWAY's Matt Ray was the only TV reporter to talk to two of the suspects.
"I just want to tell me mom I love her," Daniel Henry, 17, said, "and my brother and my dad."
"I'm not as tough as I look," Henry said wiping away tears. "I get stereotyped so much.
Henry, 17, said he wishes he could change what happened.
"If I could rewind back, I would've stepped in front of the bullet for Josh," Henry said. "He had more going on for himself than me."
Henry, the youngest of the group accused, says his life is over because of someone else's actions. He and investigators say Quintel Grady shot and killed Prouty. Henry also apologized to the Proutey family for their loss.
"I don't want no sympathy. I just want justice," Henry said. "Yeah, give me time, but don't give me life. I did not pull the trigger. I can't control what somebody else do."
Chris Cromartie, 23, is also charged in the killing.
"I was gonna give it about a week or two, and then just turn myself in if they didn't find any leads, but it took about a couple days, and they were knocking at the gym door," Cromartie said. "My mind is crazy right now. I have not slept since I've been here (in jail). It's not because of the case itself. It's because I have insomnia."
Cromartie said he knew he could have stayed to try and help Proutey after the shooting, but it was too late.
"I could have did CPR, but CPR was not going to help him out," Cromartie said. "But to Joshua's family, I apologize."
Cromartie, Grady and Jasmine Dottin are in jail without bond. They could face the death penalty.
Because Henry is a minor, his bond is set at $2 million. He faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
