The vast Northern Territory of Australia occupies about one sixth of Australia's total landmass. Darwin, the capital city of the territory, is a great place to be based, with an incredible range of truly unique experiences to enjoy - and the perfect gateway to exploring other parts of this incredible part of the world, also known in Australia as the Top End.
Situated on the edge of a vast harbour, larger by comparison than Sydney's, Darwin is Australia's only fully tropical city, with a fascinating diversity of people, culture, history and natural wonders.
Darwin, facing out over the Timor Sea, is a vibrant, exciting city that draws on its cultural diversity in its array of food, entertainment and lifestyle – and offers plenty to show off the Northern Territory's remarkable scenery from rainforest wilderness, desert to ocean and the abundant wildlife in each of these contrasting environments.
More than 50 nationalities are represented here, including the indigenous people whose history, art and culture is a must to learn about whilst here. Reflecting the many nationalities living here in Darwin, the food markets and local restaurants also provide a delicious culinary map to enjoy.
Darwin has plenty to offer the culinary adventurer. Buzzing street-side restaurants and bars, Darwin's cultural mix is deliciously represented in the many places to eat within the city. Fresh, local seafood, Asian food, Australian bush food, European food with a local flavour – and you always have the choice from 5 star fine dining to casual restaurants to delicious street stalls and cheap, good quality food.
An essential visit to experience the heart of Darwin's diversity is the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Market. Enjoy international cuisine from over 60 food stalls – Fresh, fun, cheap, good street food – Sri Lankan, Turkish, Greek, Cambodian, Japanese, Malaysian, Indonesian, local Australian – and eat on the beach as the sun sets over the Arafura Sea.
There are also arts and crafts stalls to browse for hand made items, local and international. Music, street performers, fire twirling, ice cream carts and fresh, tropical fruit vendors all add to the great atmosphere for all to enjoy.
Mindil Beach Sunset Market is held Sunday and Thursday nights during the dry season – check the website or information centres for details. Mindil Beach is about 2km from Darwin's city centre - an easy walk or jump on buses 4 or 6 instead.
The natural wonders of the Northern Territory's famous national parks of Kakadu and Litchfield are only a few hours' drive away and easily accessible by car or through organised tours. Enjoy the heart of Australia on a day tour of adventure and discovery. Towering termite mounds, waterfalls to swim in, wildlife to observe. Take a ride on the Adelaide River where you can spot huge crocodiles from the safety of the boat. Perhaps take the opportunity to go out on an ocean trip, fishing or sight seeing.
Families often enjoy the local adventure parks where visitors can see crocodiles or interact with other wildlife in the Top End. One such place is The Territory Wildlife Park, a 45-minute drive south of Darwin, allows you to see dingoes, enjoy their walk-through aviary, nocturnal house, goose lagoon, aquarium, billabong and monsoon forest walk.
Take the opportunity to explore the enthralling culture of the local Pudakul people on an authentic, nature-based experience. Learn about bush tucker (food) and traditional medicine, try blowing a didgeridoo, play the clapsticks, throw a spear and see basket and dilly bag making demonstrations. Discover the significance of Dreamtime and Djukbinj, the Rainbow Serpent and enjoy damper (bush bread) and tea.
Take some time to explore the well-appointed museums that explain and celebrate the city and territory's past. The history of this land is truly remarkable – the sad times, the good times – so important for us to learn about and acknowledge in this land steeped in culture. Stunning galleries showcase the region's rich indigenous art and offer explanations of the significance of each piece.
Tiwi Islands
A visit to the Top End would not be complete without a trip to the Tiwi Islands called Melville and Bathurst. The island of Bathurst is just a short boat trip from Darwin. There you can experience life in a modern-day Aboriginal community - learn about the rich and fascinating history and culture of the Tiwi people and take the opportunity to purchase examples of the unique and wonderful Tiwi Island arts and crafts.
Once you're done with adventuring for the day, you might like to watch a movie under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema in Darwin. Perhaps climb aboard a luxury yacht or an old 'pearl lugger' for a dinner cruise around Darwin's magnificent harbour at sunset. Or, just enjoy a simple sunset picnic with a cold beer and some local food.

Hub Editor In Chief
If you're looking for a reason to move to — or stay — in Huron Township, this may be it.
A report published by Safewise — which is a self-procalimed community focused safety organization — listed Huron Township as one of the 50 safest cities in the state of Michigan.
Released on August 3, the report combined Safewise research along with data from the most recent 2013 FBI crime reports to create a list of the 50 safest cities in Michigan. Included in these statistics were property crime (arson, burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny-theft) and violent crime (robbery, murder, aggravated assault, rape).
Safewise then calculated the chance of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people in each city.
Huron Township came in at number 50, just making the cut.
Statistics for Huron show a population of 15,607 with 2.43 violent crimes per 1,000 residents, and 13 property crimes per 1,000 residents.
All of the cities listed in the report had a minimum population of 5,000 residents.
"Residents in Huron Township don't have to wonder how safe their neighborhood is," the report said. "The city's Crime Mapping Service provides up-to-the-minute crime and incident information at the click of a mouse. The service also allows citizens to offer anonymous information they have about any crime reported."
Huron Township Police Chief Everette Robbins says that while making the list is a great thing, there is still room for progress.
"Although being in the top 50 safest places in Michigan is a start, we are striving every day to move up this list," he said.
"I truly do not believe that there is a place that is safer than Huron Township to live and raise a family. I think that some of the statistics that caused us to be at this number were caused by a few individuals that were responsible for the string of break ins late last year. They have since been arrested and are being held accountable. Couple that with the high visibility of our officers and I would expect a much better ranking in the future," he said.
Both Robbins and Safewise officials agree that a city filled with robust and vigilant community involvement will help it prosper and become a safe area for families and businesses to thrive.
"This is a great opportunity to get the word out to our residents to continue to be vigilant. Lock your doors and call immediately if you see anything out of the ordinary. Never hesitate to call us, our job is to respond and we are always happy to do so," said Robbins.
Other local cities that made the list include Sumpter Township at 34, Riverview at 36 and Trenton at 43.
In March 2014, a similar report was released by Safewise using statistics from 2012, listing Huron at number 24 in the top safest cities category.

The Hermitage At Pontoise - Pissarro
The embroidered
fragment at Lutterworth, which has been
attributed to the time of Wicklif, bears
characteristic devices of the later years of
the fifteenth century.
An altar-cloth* at Lyng, preserves the
remains of three vestments : (a) a cope of
blue velvet, with cherubim and seraphim,
double - headed eagles, and conventional
flowers ; (/3) small portions of a cope of red
velvet, with half-length figures of prophets ;
(y) small portions of a vestment of orange
velvet, with conventional flowers. Fragments
of the orphreys are also included.
At Littledean, an altar-cloth or herse-
cloth is made of pieces of tunicles, the orphreys
having figures of saints under canopies. A
desk-hanging at Sutton Bengerf is similar
to the cloth at Littledean. It has been much
mutilated in the process of transformation
from a vestment. The altar-cloths at Nor-

Pound Won't Be Beaten
The Pound is fending off assaults from all angles. Negative housing data and Mervyn's King's attempts to rein back the UK economic outlook with a serious dose of pragmatism haven't prevented Sterling from hitting yet further highs against the US Dollar.
Pound Sterling – UK Markets
The Pound has now hit its highest levels against the US Dollar since February. It is also heading for its biggest monthly climb against the Yen since March. The currency has however lost ground on the Euro this morning as the balance with the single currency remains volatile. GBP has predominantly remained buoyant despite Bank of England Governor Mervyn King's attempt to calm down focus on the recent positive UK Q2 GDP figures. King suggested that it was misguided to raise hopes too much for the economic outlook based simply on these figures. This emerged during yesterday's meeting between the Bank of England Policy Committee and the Treasury Select Committee. King's fellow committee member Andrew Sentence however continued in his attempts to suggest that inflation needs curbing via an interest rate rise countering King's sentiments. The Pound has also shaken off more news that has added to the evidence of a slowing housing market. Nationwide Building Society gave details of UK house prices falling in 0.5 percent from June to July on the back of Government cuts deterring potential buyers. Bank of England data has also revealed that mortgage approvals fell to a four month low in June.
US Dollar – US Markets
The US recovery has been further marred by durable goods statistics which have highlighted that orders fell by 1 percent in June. This was accompanied by a cautionary report from the Federal Reserve causing the Dollar to fall against most other major currencies. Markets will be watching tomorrow's Q2 US GDP figures and the weekly jobless numbers later today.
Euro – European Markets
The Euro has seen some fresh positive data today making gains on the Pound and the US Dollar. The economic outlook for the region is getting better. German unemployment has declined for a thirteenth month in a row as exports have increased; executive and consumer sentiment has risen in June; and companies such as the German Deutsche Bank AG and French Louis Vouitton SA have far over-achieved against analysts earnings estimates.
Other Currencies – Highlights
The Australian Dollar has fallen against the US Dollar following weak Q2 consumer price data that has lowered the likelihood of another interest rate rise. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand on the other hand has raised interest rates by 0.25 percent. This has initially caused the currency to slide back due to investment moves as the rise was largely anticipated. However the rise also was accompanied by the news that any further rises will be slower due to the ongoing fragility of the recovery thereby also dampening the outlook somewhat.

Magical Cappadocia
Here I am, at one of my bucket-list destination. Till today, I still can't believe I made my way to Cappadocia to experience not only the rich culture but the famous Hot Air Balloon experience. We had a total of 4 days to explore what Cappadocia has to offer us. From chasing Hot Air Balloons to squeezing through the smallest of tunnels at Underground cities, it was one of the most memorable journey ever and I can't wait to share it with you. Let's get to it!
A Magical Experience
Best way to get around? - What I would recommend is to rent a car and do a road trip around Cappadocia. If you're on a budget and what to experience fully, having a car will allow you to do so and have the flexibility to visit places at your own time. On the other hand, you can take a safer and costly approach by joining tours. These tours are readily available in the town center or at your accommodation (if they provide).
Cappadocia is a small town and most of the tourist places are an hour or so drive away from city centre. We rented a car hence, saving cost on tour prices which can be abit expensive compared to exploring ourselves. If you're intending to do a tour, there are numerous operators available at city centre. Do check with your hotel as well as they may offer such packages. Prices can be negotiable but don't be too aggressive with it, negotiate reasonably.
Generally, there are numerous activities and tourist attraction that you can visit such as Goreme Open Museum or walking along Valleys such as Ihlara or even squeeze through Underground Cities scattered around Cappadocia. 3-4 days in Cappadocia is more than enough to cover the attractions! If you're an avid fan of culture and history, I strongly suggesting getting the museum pass available at any museum ticket gantry.
When you're in Turkey, one of the main highlights would be embarking on one of the most magical rides ever - Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia. This has been on my bucket-list for many years and I'm so thankful for being able to experience such a journey. Words can't describe the feelings so, I'll leave it to my pictures to depict this amazing adventure.
Magical Cappadocia
Hot Air Balloon Journey
**Tip : There are many Hot Air Balloon operators in Cappadocia and prices vary per operator & season.
Do note that you can bargain for prices but do it respectfully. Thankfully I got mine at 120 Euros per pax (Originally 150 Euros) and was only available on that day due to bad weather. Check with your hotel if they can arrange at a better price! You never know, they can get a better deal! Shout out to Grand Cappadocia Hotel for arranging my ride!
One takeaway from this trip is to live life to the fullest. This journey has not only amazed me with picturesque scenery but instances that accentuate the meaning of life and how we all only got this one chance to discover who we are in this world. Experiences like this only comes once and I'm so glad I took this leap of faith.
All in all, my expedition to Cappadocia was nothing but amazing. I am absolutely thankful for such an amazing travel crew whom are willing to do anything just for the gram. (Especially Cynthia). It was great travelling with ya'll and hope we could do this again soon!
Till then, Cappadocia. You've been nothing but beautiful!

When you dream of a backpack, the symbol of the backpack can basically be viewed in one of two ways.
In one sense the backpack is an item that is used to carry things. You can carry all kinds of belongings in a backpack, and some people that go on long international trips choose to carry solely a backpack as a means of storing all of their own good. However some people choose to merely use a backpack as a means of transporting student items. If you are in high school or college there is a good chance you will use one. Therefore one way of looking at the backpack in a dream is as a tool for carrying things as it is seen in daily life for the most part.
The other way of viewing a backpack is that of a simple weight on the shoulders. As helpful as backpacks can be they can also be harmful in causing damage to the shoulders and back from spending too much time carry heavy goods back and forth using the backpack as a means to do so. Therefore when dreaming about a backpack, it can also have a connection to putting too much pressure on your shoulders. These two different ways of looking at backpacks in terms of a dream symbol shed light on the different interpretations that could come up of dreams that involve backpacks.
One interpretation of a backpack, which involves you seeing the backpack as a tool for carrying goods for you, is that you are packing up and leaving something behind. This is not to say that you are forgetting something but rather purposefully choosing to leave a place that is in some way in disagreement with you. You want to get out of the situation that you are in and are packing up the parts of your life that are most important to you in order to make your escape from an oppressive environment. Perhaps there is just something that you want to forget. This too could lead to you dreaming of backpacks. It means there is something that you need to pack up for, some kind of journey (which could be physical, spiritual, or emotional) that you are going to undertake soon.
Another possible meaning of a dream that involves a backpack is that of responsibility. The backpack symbolizes all of the weight that is being put upon you. This could be a physical weight as in physical duties such as work that are being added to your schedule and taking up all of your time to think and to be yourself. It could also take the form of mental weight. You are being given too many different ideas and perspectives and have no way to sort through them. People are entrusting you with too much of their personal baggage and you are trying to bear the weight. Do not let anyone take advantage of you. Try to maintain your autonomy.

i had a dream about going inside a backpack with my friend wearing a suite (coat and tie), and when were both inside the back pack it moves as if it was attached to the back of a tricycle and i saw everyone (previous friends in school who already graduated) going inside limo cars wearing gowns etc.

That�s all I remember

I dreamed of a backpack, 4 flat plastic rectangles and an old boyfriend who passed in January 2018. I had a sense that it was Denis and the sense that the plasic rectangles were 2 pair of shoes.
I dreamt that someone gave me a backpack to carry i put it on my back and tried to carry it but it brought me to the floor and i genuinely couldn�t get up as much as i tried until the end of my dream were i finally got up and then woke up

I dreamt I was playing soccer and I had a backpack on (I am a mother of 3). And no matter how many times I took the backpack off in the middle of the game. It was right back where it started .. on my back. I couldn�t get it to stay off no matter how many times I took it off. It made playing the game impossible and slowed me right down.
This is an odd one.. I was with some friends and then realised I had to run to the bus stop. I called my mum to come bring me to school because I was going to miss the bus, which I did but another bus came and I got on but I started crying because it wasn�t the bus I wanted and I cried even more because I left my bag outside a shop up the town. I was very upset about forgetting my bag.
very strange

I just had a dream that i wanted to go to this place that i used to often dream about going to (a fictional place but i start off and go past some real locations i know). I remembered this place and wanted to take this girl i am seeing but needed to take some things even though thinking now i did not. I ended up going the wrong way to meet her and away from where i needed to go to get to my destination and ended up walking through a busy shopping centre being held up by other people???

I had a dream last night that I was cleaning out my locker for the end of the year (even though I graduated over a month ago) and there were endless notebooks and binders and papers that I kept (I was telling myself I'd need them for college), but after cleaning everything out I realized I'd had 3 backpacks in my locker. In my dream I'd said it was for the 3 semesters of my last year, and although I'm pretty sure the meaning is straightforward is there anything else that I'm missing with these symbols? Everyone else was done and I was the last one cleaning out my locker, and there seemed to be an endless amount of papers that took forever to clean out.

Over 50 injured in Cuba road accident
Over 50 injured in Cuba road accident
Society 20.03.2017 | 09:51
HAVANA, 20 March (BelTA – Xinhua) – At least 55 people were injured in a
serious traffic accident outside the city of Bayamo in eastern Cuba.
The accident happened on Sunday morning when the driver of a passenger
bus lost control of the vehicle and careened into several trees, as he
traveled from Santiago de Cuba, the country's second largest city, to
Nuevita, in the north of the island.
A great number of passengers were injured, two critically, and were
taken to the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes provincial hospital for treatment.
Six children were involved, including an 18-month-old baby, and five
elderly people.

Millwood, J. & T. Heaton 1994. The Metropolitan Domestic Cat. Petcare Information and Advisory Service, Melbourne. UAM Conference Proceedings - Canberra 1994
In Australia in recent years, concern has been raised about the possible impact of cats, both domestic and feral, on native fauna populations.
Concern about the role of domestics cats in particular has led some groups to consider cat management options.
Management decisions are hampered, however, by a scarcity of scientific information on the interaction of domestic cats with native fauna.
Previous research has shown that domestic cats are catching native wildlife. But - how many? To date, none of the studies published have used sample groups which reflect domestic cat distribution, making it very difficult to draw conclusions about the behaviour of the cat population as a whole.
Most people live in highly urbanised areas. It was suspected that a survey conducted over the full range of
metropolitan populations would show that domestic cats in fact catch very few native fauna.
Petcare Information and Advisory Service (PIAS) thus commissioned Reark Research Pty Ltd, an independent market research organisation, to conduct a detailed survey of the metropolitan cat in all Australian capital cities (except Darwin). The sample group was selected to represent domestic cat distribution within each city, thus ensuring that conclusions could be drawn about the metropolitan cat population.
The survey was to provide information on the hunting behaviour of domestic cats and determine the size, age and neuter status of the metropolitan cat population.
1. To clarify the hunting behaviour of the metropolitan domestic cat, including:
- What creatures are caught;
- How many creatures are caught;
- How many native creatures are caught.
2. To provide detailed information on the metropolitan cat population, including:
- what percentage are desexed;
- changes in cat population over the last 12 months
3. To provide information on factors likely to effect cat hunting behaviour, including:
- confinement of cats by the owner to the property at night;
- tendency of cats to roam from the owner's property;
- wearing bells.
The survey was designed to provide complete coverage of the cat population within metropolitan Australia, covering the entire Statistical Division for each of the capital cities.
The metropolitan region included within the scope of the survey covers 62.7 percent of the private dwellings
throughout the whole of Australia. Within each city, sample selection was controlled to appropriately represent population distribution, and results were weighted accordingly.
A systematic probability sample of telephone 'white page directory' listings within postcodes classified as 'relatively low' to 'high' population densities was generated.
Over 4000 households were surveyed. The size of the sample group ensured that the maximum degree of error was limited to not more than + /-2 percent for all estimates relating to the total metropolitan domestic cat population.
The questionnaire was sequenced to establish a rapport between interviewer and subject, and invite an open and non threatening discussion of the cat's behaviour, thus reducing possible bias due to recent media coverage of 'cat issues'.
1. Hunting Behaviour
The proportion of domestic cats which caught prey.
- 41 percent of cats caught introduced mammals such as mice, rats and rabbits (vermin), and 2 percent caught native mammals such as possums or bats.
- 17 percent of cats caught reptiles or amphibians such as lizards, skunks, snakes or frogs.
- 19 percent of cats caught introduced birds such as sparrows and starlings, and 7 percent caught native birds such as magpies or honey eaters.
Overall, 56 percent of cats were reported to catch prey. (Note that as cats could catch more than one type of creature, the total number of cats catching prey is less than the sum of cats catching individual creatures)
The number of prey caught by domestic cats
Over the period 12 months to April 1994, native species were 33% of metropolitan domestic cats caughts.
2. Domestic cat population
- Almost one million households (985 000), that is 25.2 percent of households throughout the capital cities of Australia own a cat.
- The total number of cats living within those households is estimated as 1,397,000.
- Fewer households own cats than a year ago, and the number of cats per cat owning household has also dropped.
- In the past twelve months there has been a 10 percent decline in the metropolitan cat population.
3. Factors likely to affect cat hunting behaviour
- 39 percent of the cat population was securely contained at night.
- 79 percent of the cat population was reported to not roam away from the home surrounds during the day.
- The proportion of cats which caught any creature was lower for those cats which were confined to the house at night, than those which were allowed out.
- The proportion of cats which caught any creature was higher for those which wore bell collars than those which did not.
The findings support the suspicion that metropolitan domestic cats are in fact catching substantially fewer native fauna than previously supposed.
During the survey year, each domestic cat is estimated to have caught on average:
- One fiftieth of a native mammal;
- One fifth of a native bird;
- One and a third native reptiles or amphibians;
- Half of all creatures caught were vermin - mice, rats and rabbits.
Contrary to common perceptions that cat numbers are increasing, it appears the metropolitan domestic cat population is in decline.
- The metropolitan domestic cat population decreased by 10 percent over April 1993-1994.
- The vast majority (94 percent) of adult metropolitan domestic cats are desexed.
Bell collars do not appear to be effective in preventing hunting, although conclusions are difficult to draw as owners are more likely to place bells on cats which are proven hunters.
Those cats which spend most of their time around the home tend to hunt less.

Bites of My Life/
Last week was a mix of busy activities, parties and birthday dinners as well as cozy nights in, movie marathons and early bedtimes. Kicked off the week with my company Christmas party. I work with such a fun group of people to celebrate with, including Santa. Ate and drank at a few new restaurants (OKC's best kept secret, for the moment). Welcomed the first snow of the season, a Thunder win, and a movie marathon on the couch while bitter cold temps hung out outside.
Countdown to Christmas can officially begin. I can't believe I'm saying that. I'm looking forward to hopefully a busy week, then a slow weekend to really enjoy the holiday!
-Because it's not a holiday party without festive cookies. My fav.
-Santa Claus is coming to town, and company Christmas parties.
-Ditch the dishes, acorn squash becomes your bowl in last week's recipe post.
-Restaurant decor on point.
-The dreamiest european style cheese shop and bistro opened up in the neighborhood this week. Our experience had ups and downs, but if you are local please go visit En Croûte. Pronounced like this.
-Breakfast for dinner because lazy and an effort to clean out the fridge.
-Foodie friends are the best friends!
-Cozy tomato basil soup a la roomie was perfect for Sunday's high of 20 degrees...
-Trader Joe's Seafood Paella. YUP! (but I didn't eat the mussels, freaked me out too much sitting in a frozen bag for that long).

An Austin Energy lead line designer was working as a consultant for developers trying to get electric service plans approved — even as he was the person at the utility responsible for approving their projects, a city investigative audit released Thursday found.
Steven Salinas solicited work or worked as a consultant for at least eight developments within the region where he controlled plan approval, the audit said. His supervisor, Michael Pittman, knew of the jobs and didn't consider them a problem, according to the audit.
But auditors found Salinas violated city rules regarding outside employment, as well as misused city resources by using his city computer for the outside work. The consequences for that haven't yet been determined.
Salinas' city role as an electric distribution lead designer made him a point person for developers who needed to submit planning applications for on-site electrical infrastructure. He was responsible for reviewing and approving those plans.
RELATED: Audit: Austin music official failed to report employee's bogus invoice
The developers who hired him would pay him to draw up plans for telecommunication and gas service infrastructure for the same sites, the audit said. Salinas told auditors he would do that to ensure that infrastructure didn't interfere with electric lines.
He drafted telecommunication design layout for a 200,000-square-foot mixed-use shopping and entertainment development in 2014, then approved its electric service delivery designs for the city months later. He worked as a consultant for a condo and commercial business where he also designed its city electric service delivery plans in 2013 and 2016.
"Salinas' secondary employment with these developers might reasonably be expected to impair his independence in judgment or performance of his City duties," the audit said.
Salinas, 56, has worked with Austin Energy since 2010. Last year he earned $112,509.
Auditors were unable to determine whether Salinas' outside consulting work technically constituted a conflict of interest, because he wouldn't provide payment information to show whether he had a "substantial interest" — defined as earning more than $5,000 in a year — in the companies. Auditors found consulting files on Salinas' city computer, including two unsigned 2016 contracts totaling $30,000 and three 2016 and 2017 invoices totaling $30,000.
"While these fees could have created a substantial interest for Salinas, we were unable to determine whether any of these fees were collected by Salinas due to his refusal to cooperate," the audit said.
RELATED: Audit: Ex-Austin Water spokesman took favor after a pricey contract
In a written response, Salinas said he didn't solicit the jobs, but he was approached by the developers. He emphasized that his supervisor didn't consider it a conflict.
"I feel that I gave full cooperation by giving you my clients contact and information numbers … and still you were unable to constitute a conflict of interest as defined by City Code, which leads me to believe this should be a closed case," he wrote.
But the audit said Salinas cooperated with the auditors in part only after management got involved and never cooperated enough to provide documentation of how much money he earned from the developers. In an interview Thursday evening, he said he considered that private information and didn't believe he had done anything wrong.
"The way I see it, my work wasn't relevant to what I do at Austin Energy," he said. "Even the bosses, when they were told of the work, didn't see it as a conflict."
He acknowledged that he approved plans for companies who gave him money, but said he wasn't the person who granted final approval so he didn't see why it was an issue.
"That's the exact same question the city auditor asked," he said.
In a Wednesday memo, Austin Energy General Manager Jackie Sargent said utility management and internal human resources will begin "a comprehensive review of AE and City policies and procedures related to Outside Employment."
The department will now have to evaluate the information and determine what discipline is justified for Salinas, Austin Energy spokesman Robert Cullick said. That review will include looking at whether Pittman violated city policies by approving the jobs. Cullick noted that it's not normal for Austin Energy employees to have outside jobs in the industry.
"You have some things that are very clear and some things that are not clear," Cullick said. "An audit finding like this is not common at all for Austin Energy, and it's very serious."
Salinas said he hasn't been asked to end his consulting work, but, if he is, he will.
*This story has been updated to include comment from Salinas.

Last Saturday was epic. After a long, dreary, rainy and un-spring-like spring, we had 2 days of warm weather and sun. Spent Saturday hiking up the Bowl to play in the snow. Pleasantly surprised by the light powdery snow we found. Days like this one are special and pretty hard to repeat. Although, it's worth trying.
Here's a few shots.

Ta Ta For Now.....
With Summer in the rear view lm hell bent of saving a little of whats left for my somber transition into Fall. l cant say lm big when it comes to pickling/preserving - although have fond memories of my Mum sending us all on our annual mission to the end of the garden with pail in hands ready to load-up with gooseberries, black/red currants, raspberries any kind of berry...you name it. The trick was not to fall into the nearby nettles and get stung...or the darker side of this competitive fruit picking - be pushed by my disgruntled brother if l recall one or two times).
While back in the kitchen Mum (jolly apron on) would be sterilizing the jars, hunting down the large black pot from storage .....likely under a mountain of christmas ornaments.... and out with what looked like an ancient wooden spoon brightly stained with past years preserving efforts . Personally my favourite job would be topping each jar with a little parchment disc before sealing the top and away in the cupboard to make rich sticky jam (which typically was smothered on my Mums Saturday afternoon fresh baked bread), or fillings for pies winter months.
Not quite ready to go the jam route, l figured l would start off easy. Having heard of pickling watermelon rinds which is typically heard of from down south, l wanted to give it a go and see what this southern treat had to offer.
My pickled Watermelon Rinds with Ginger, Cinnamon, and Star Anise
4 Cups watermelon rinds, cut into 4 inch cubes
1 !/4 cup sugar
3 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes
2-3 Star anise (depending on how much you like anise)
1/2 lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks
Lemon rind from 1/2 lemon
1. Pop everything into a large pan with enough water to cover all the ingredients. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer uncovered for around 45 minutes. Strain the watermelon -- reserving the juice. Pop the juice back into the pan boil until glossy and thick - should take around 15 minutes.
2. With a pickling jar at the ready, spoon the mixture into the jar along with the syrup. Let it cool then into the fridge for up to a month.
Smashing along side some cheese/cured meats, pop it into a salad, or even in a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Sunday roast wouldn't go a miss too!
l had fun making it, loved how easy it was, and it brought back the pickling days with Mum way back when. Ta Ta For Now watermelon...

Best SL Christmas present ever: Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft has released her first mesh sets, and she sent them over to me to check out. Thank you, Santa!
There are two rooms available -- the Frezza Living Room, and then also a smaller set, the Frezza Christmas Living Room. Let's start with the Christmas room, since it's Christmas and whatnot.
Just gorgeous. And really, take away the Christmas decorations and you still have an amazing room for all year round. But specifically for the holidays, this is just brimming with great deco and adorable details...as The Loft sets always are.
The wood texture on the side table is superb. ♥ And look at these fabrics!
You just wanna touch that blanket, right? LOVE.
As for the entire Frezza Living Room - this is amazing mid-century modern goodness.
I love that color palette. Again, this room is filled with great little accents...Colleen has an amazing knack for adding in the simplest details with the greatest impact. These lamps are beautiful, and the little wooden birds are precious!
Let's talk about the fabrics again. Colleen has always had the best fabrics in all of SL, in my opinion. It's one of the very first things I fell in love with at The Loft, even back in 2007 when we were all young and innocent and sculpts were the breaking news.
I really don't know if I have the words for how much I love the couch fabric. It's so tweedy and delicious. The chairs are beyond gorgeous, and the texture on the orange pillows is so...real. That's the simplest description. So real.
If I can gush about textures just a little bit more...THIS is one of the reasons I think Colleen's textures are tops. Her shading is impeccable. The wood on the table and lamp, below, is gorgeous...but it's so much more awesome because of the light and shadow baked into the texture. And I show you the back of the couch because truly, the shading on the backs of the cushions as they are obscured by the couch frame -- that's art, my friends. This is how you give depth to SL furniture.
Get over to The Loft to check out the Frezza sets. There are a few more pieces to it than I've shown you here, and there are many, many more colors you can choose for the couches, as well. I should also mention that the sets do include a ton of animations and props...but I was way too excited about the textures to actually try sitting on anything. :) So be sure to check that out, too! Enjoy!

It's not only Grandma who had to compensate for all those lost tweedy birds.
Attack Of The Tweety Zombies Review
Other than the lack of side-scrolling adventure, Warner Brothers has done a terrific job integrating Sylvester within a spine-chilling Halloween arcade-all in good taste.
Hopefully, this will all be just a bad dream.

Marc Anthony plays the role of H�ctor Lavoe in El Cantante, the film he had been wanting and waiting to make for many years. Lavoe is a hero to salsa fans, famed for the artistry of his vocals and the intensity of his rhythm; his records with Willie Col�n during the early '70s were high points for salsa, and they paved the way for many vocalists to come (including one Marc Anthony). Anthony's physical resemblance to Lavoe is only passing, but no other musician alive could have done as much with this soundtrack tribute to Lavoe. Enlisting a variety of famed salsa musicians (including Yomo Toro, Marc Qui�ones, Bobby Allende, Milton Cardona, Jos� Mangual, and Tito Allen), Anthony and producer Sergio George reprise nine of H�ctor Lavoe's best moments on wax, including "Aguanile," "Che Che Col�," "Mi Gente," and the title track. The arrangements are very faithful to the '70s and '80s originals, except for occasional strings that work very well in context. Anthony and his group are dynamite, creating the type of excitement that's capable of bursting more than a few stereotypes and making newcomers to salsa realize that it's an incredibly important, incredibly artistic music. The tenth track finds Jennifer Lopez, Anthony's wife in the film and in real life, performing a pop ballad titled "Toma de M�," which functions pretty well as a love theme to El Cantante. For a direct look at what Lavoe meant to music, check out the two-disc compilation La Voz, but fans of the picture will want to own these songs as well.

The perfectly talented voice of Marc Anthony gives recognition to the pioneer of Salsa Music, Hector Lavoe. This album contains a smart choice of songs that directly coorelates with Hector Lavoe's tragic life which displayed his great joys and deep sorrows through his lyrics. This masterpiece gives a new generation of Spanish people an better understanding and appreciation for Hector Lavoe, who will always live on through his music. Bravo!

i'm totally thrilled to be done with this major project! i recently purchased an old dresser from Goodwill that cost $65 for my daughter's big girl room. i usually have the habit of undertaking a large project {such as painting furniture} and then it sits around for half a year {or 5} before getting done. my husband usually
tells me through gritted teeth lovingly reminds me to get it done or throw it out. so this time around i had the whole thing done in under a month! what progress!
i had a hard time nailing down the color i wanted to paint it. i really wanted to go bold and paint it a pretty aqua color, but knew i would probably get sick of it in 6 months and want to paint it all over again. i decided to go with a more timeless look and paint it Bedford Gray from the Martha Stewart line at Home Depot. then i painted the border Picket Fence White from the same line. i got my inspiration from this room below.
i love these color combinations. next on my list of things to do for my sweet baby girl: get her a big girl bed. i've been on a relentless hunt for a twin size metal bed frame, and i will not stop until i find the perfect one!
happy sunday!

Eggs are pretty amazing. We tend to only see (and eat) chicken eggs, but the eggs found in the animal kingdom - on land and in the sea - come in all shapes, sizes and colors and are incredible nutrient-providing shelters. The largest egg ever recorded is almost a foot long and belongs to the Whale Shark (though the eggs normally hatch within the female). In the bird world, the ostrich is the winner for largest eggs at 7"x5" (a standard size for greeting cards!) and the bee hummingbird wins for smallest (.02 ounces).
The direct connection to life that eggs embody create an appreciation and metaphor that has been brought into cultural and religious traditions. The most prominent one is tied to Easter where eggs are dyed various colors and in some cultures, painted with intricate designs.
Go bird watching!
If you want to see eggs in nature, try bird watching! National, state and local parks and recreation centers have classes and guides that will help you discover nesting areas. Have fun exploring the great outdoors (and when you find eggs, remember not to touch them!)
Craft with eggs!
There are so many possibilities that it's hard to find just one site to reference for ideas. (But I found one!) You can decorate real (boiled!) eggs; or blow out eggs to decorate the shells only; make necklaces or little animals with plastic eggs; draw, paint, mold or piece together materials into the shape of an egg; there's so many possibilities! See what supplies you have around your home and go to town!
Time to cook!
There are so many ways to cook an egg on its own...and then you can bake with them too! Exploring how eggs change when they are cooked in different ways can be a great way to engage your kids in the kitchen and get some protein in their systems! Eggs are great for any meal, snacks and desserts. Omelettes can be particularly fun because you can add vegetables into the mix and create a colorful incentive for your kids to eat some healthy meals. Happy cooking!

As a mum of two young toddlers I am constantly searching for ways to keep them occupied, amused and stimulated without resorting to tv. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a place for tv – Harrison has learnt so much from cbeebies and when I need to do housework it's a lifesaver! As a teacher, I'm aware of the importance of learning but more importantly, the value of creativity, imagination, play and fun!
This blog came about because of a negative comment I received on Facebook about posting photos of the activities I do with the boys, but the positive response I had from family and friends on Facebook and Instagram was overwhelming, with people saying I gave them ideas to do things with their own kids. With that in mind, I set up a Facebook group Activities 4 Kidz and then this blog, to share ideas.

We were talking about Cinnamon Buns the other day, so I figure, why not continue on that thread. I was telling you about my SIL's recipe that I have and how very good it is.
So here we go with my rendition of …
My SIL's Sticky Cinnamon Buns
1 C. Sour Cream
3 C. All Purpose Flour, divided
1 pkg. Dry Raip Rise Yeast
¼ C. Warm Water
2 Tbsp. softened Butter
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg, beaten
1 stick ( ½ C.) softened Butter
½ C. Granulated Sugar
1 Tbsp. ground Cinnamon
1 C. chopped Nuts
½ C. Raisins
Prep two 9 inch cake pans
(or a 9×13 inch pan with double the ingredients below) with:
1/3 C. Karo Syrup and ¼ C. Brown Sugar
Preheat the oven to 375⁰
Heat the sour cream over low heat in a small saucepan, just until lukewarm.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water; set aside to proof.
In a Food Processor, combine the warm sour cream, butter, salt, egg and yeast mixture with 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Add the remaining flour, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl; continue to process for 30 seconds.
Turn the dough out into a large, greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise until doubled in size (overnight is fine).
On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to 24 inches by 12 inches.
Spread the stick of softened butter all over the rolled dough, leaving a ½ inch boarder on the edge farthest from you.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter.
Now sprinkle the nuts and raisins.
Roll the dough away from you, as tightly as possible, into a jelly roll; pinch the edge together, placing the seam down on the countertop.
Cut into 16 even pieces and place 8 pieces, cut side down into each of the prepared pans; allow to rise for about an hour.
(I used a 9X13 rather than 2 9" round cake pans)
Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the pans half way through, until the buns are firm but not hard (an additional 15 minutes may be required).
Remove from the oven to cool for about a minute; then turn out onto a plate.

The Book of Duck was translated from Ancient Kennglish by our dear Pope Scoop. If you have translated Chapter Two, or have translated any more of Chapter One, feel free to add what you have translated.
The Book of Duck: Chapter OneEdit
As Duck was born, Kenny was happy. There were three wise urbans bearing presents, and a star twinkled above where Duck was being born. Many people watched the birth of Duck, but Duck was born as a duck.
Duck kept quacking and quacking and quacking. Katjaa was happy that he was alive and well but Kenny disliked the quacking. Kenny would often have to use 'stache earmuffs to stop Duck's quacking.
But Duck was not like all the others ducks, no, as he was born to Kenny, and that means he had Duck powers. The only thing he could do, however, was eat food and never be full. He'd always eat and eat.
One day, when Kenny and Katjaa were travelling, Duck kept eating all their food and Kenny and Katjaa had to starve until they found more food.
Despite Duck being annoying, quacking and eating all their food, Kenny and Katjaa were proud of their son.
The Book of Duck: Chapter TwoEdit

Lisa O'Connor/ZUMA Press/Splash NewsLast night's Academy Awards ceremony was certainly unforgettable, but not just because of that shocking Best Picture snafu. Oscars history was also made when the enormously talented Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor for his work in (the real) Best Picture, Moonlight, making him the first Muslim ever to win in an acting category. And as if that weren't enough, Ali -- a brand-new dad -- gave one of the most gracious and humble acceptance speeches in recent memory.
Ali's triumph wasn't a huge surprise -- many expected him to win for his powerful portrayal of a drug-dealing father figure. But the victory was no small feat. For one thing, the 43-year-old actor was competing against some serious heavy hitters: Dev Patel (Lion), Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals), Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water), and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea). For another, though he's recently appeared in a number of major roles (including as Taraji P. Henson's husband in Best Picture nominee Hidden Figures and as the villain Cottonmouth in Luke Cage), Ali's road to stardom has been a relatively long one, mostly due to the lack of starring roles available to black actors who aren't already proven box office draws.
But now that he's officially "made it," one thing is clear: Ali's current success is well deserved, not just because he's a gifted actor, but also because he seems to be a truly decent human being. His emotional acceptance speech was an exercise in humility and grace, a tribute to all the people who helped him along the way -- and who still help him today.

"I want to thank my teachers, my professors, my so many wonderful teachers," he said (after cracking an adorable joke about how his grandmother would want him to button up his jacket).
"One thing that they consistently told me ... Ron van Lou, Ken Washington, said it wasn't about you. It's not about you. It's about these characters. You are a servant. You're in service to these stories and these characters and I'm so blessed to have had an opportunity."
And we're all so blessed to have had the opportunity to watch Ali in action! His win would have been moving and important under any circumstances, but it's particularly poignant given Trump's Muslim ban and the current state of politics in general. Ali didn't mention his faith last night, like he did so beautifully during his SAG Awards acceptance speech, but he didn't have to. The meaning of his win was absolutely palpable, even watching the ceremony from thousands of miles away.
If you missed the speech, it's an absolute must-see:

If you don't come away from that thinking Mahershala Ali is a prince among men, well, maybe you should watch it again. And how sweet was it when the audience cheered at the news of his daughter Bari Najma Ali's arrival -- news he announced just two days before his groundbreaking win. Of course, he didn't leave out his wife, saying, "I just want to thank her for being such a soldier through this process and help and really carrying me through it all ..."
Truly, though, as Ali said himself, this wasn't just about him. It was about the character, which was about showing the heartbreaking reality of how disenfranchised and underrepresented people are forced to live in this world every day. The choices they're forced to make. The choices that aren't theirs to make at all. We need more actors like Ali, more stories like Moonlight, more voices like these to be heard in our society -- and we need them now. Congratulations to Ali for his magnificent accomplishment, and for making a difference!

Two large and stunningly beautiful new icons have been commissioned by generous benefactors for our Church.
They have been installed in the Transepts, facing the West doors to the Nave. They are located behind the glass windows in the new doors underneath the Blessed Sacrament and the large Crucifixion scene, at the crossing between Transept and Choir. The work of Maria Manuela Guerreiro, they represent the Archangels Gabriel and Michael.
Our Transepts already inspire a sense of God's presence and glory by their soaring height and fine architecture. In mediaeval times they would have been decorated by bright mural paintings: now only rather dimly visible in some places. May the holy Angels draw our many visitors to a true encounter here with the God of Heaven, whose holiness they ceaselessly sing.

On Monday the City Council voted to move forward with hearings on a proposal by Councilman William "Pete" Welch to build a "world-class" dirt bike facility in the city.
Welch wants the city to explore partnerships with the state and private businesses in order to come up with a plan to create a facility that could be a home to the burgeoning ranks of Baltimore's dirt bike riders.
Hearings will be conducted initially by the council's Parks and Recreation committee, chaired by Carl Stokes.
Speaking after the meeting, Welch said he will follow up on Monday's motion with a resolution requesting that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who has so far been publicly cool to the idea of a park, to form a special task force to consider the idea separately from the council's efforts. Such a task force would include legal and finance experts who could advise the city on liability issues and the details of any funding scheme, whether through public bond issues, private financing, or some combination of both, he said.
Welch sees the park as a cooperative alternative to the confrontational tack the city has taken with its bike-riding residents. While dirt biking is a common hobby among white suburban and rural Maryland residents, in the city of Baltimore, the pastime's young black enthusiasts have been branded as part of an outlaw subculture because it is illegal to ride the vehicles on public streets, the only terrain available to them.
Welch said that the city's attempt to quash the dirt bike phenomenon with law enforcement has failed, and is now in danger of becoming a flash point for conflict between police and the city's youth.
Two weeks ago a tense standoff with dozens of police, some equipped for riot control, at a weekly gathering of bikers on Reisterstown Road resulted in disciplinary actions for one officer after he was captured on camera by City Paper photographer Noah Scialom waving a gun at the crowd.
"When I see the police in riot gear, that sends the wrong message to me," said Welch.
"We just had a series of conflicts, what they call the uprising, back in April, and I don't want anything to even approach that," he said. "We have to provide choices for our children, not steer them in the wrong direction by not addressing the issue."
Welch was joined at the meeting by Kim Smith, the mother of a 21-year-old biker who died last month from injuries sustained when he was struck by a car on North Avenue.
Smith says that for her son and others like him, bike riding is a passion. She compares the city's suggestion that hobbyists simply give the pastime up to someone recommending a heroin addict "just say no."
As of today, Smith said, the dirt bike phenomenon has a dual nature, both a positive and a negative influence on young people's lives.
On the positive side, she said, is the fact that bike riding is liberating for its devotees, and gave her son, for one, an outlet for his natural talents as a mechanic. On the negative side, bikes are effectively outlawed anywhere within city limits, and young riders and sometimes bystanders are being injured and killed.
"Young people are dying in this inner city," Smith said. "I'm not the first mother, and I won't be the last."
Those negatives could be quickly erased with a dirt bike park like the one envisioned by Welch, Smith said.
Welch said a sanctioned park could also go a long way toward easing the deep animosity felt by many city residents toward the bikers, who generally have little regard for the rules of the road, stunting their way through traffic and generally freaking motorists out.
"Anything that's an urban sport, or has the potential to be an urban sport, is always extreme, and extreme behavior evokes extreme reactions," Welch said.
"I think when you take some of the danger out of it by having a venue, you go a long way towards getting rid of the vilification," he said.
Although reluctant to make the connection himself, Welch did say that in the run up to the council meeting Monday evening, perhaps a dozen different people had compared the potential benefits of a sanctioned bike park favorably against the failures of the Baltimore Grand Prix.
He envisions the park as a self-sustaining and perhaps even revenue-generating endeavor, complete with an annual competition that would attract national media.
"If I had a dirt bike park, I would put a Hip Hop Chicken, a McDonald's, and everything else outside, and it would work," Welch said.
