Today is the first day on the ban on texting while behind the wheel. Sarpy County Sheriff t. Russ Zeeb says they are going to enforce this law just as any other secondary offense. He says they will be looking for signs that the driver is not paying attention to what is happening on the road.
"If you are texting and not paying attention to the wheel, it is easy to veer off. If they cross the line, hit the curb, roll through a stop sign, roll through a red light, whatever that is going to be."
Lt. Zeeb says the warning is out there that it is now a secondary offense to text while driving.
"I think education and public awareness are chapter one in the book. If they haven't learned from chapter one, chapter two in the book could be a citation and I think that will be an unfortunate event."
Lt. Zeeb reminds all with a license that driving is a privilege and these laws are made for your safety and the safety of others.
"I'd rather write a citation to you than go tell your family you have been killed in an automobile accident."
Lt. Zeeb says a secondary offense is similar to the seat belt law.
"It is like with the seat belt. I can be driving down the road and I approach your vehicle and I look over at you and you are suddenly go "uh-oh", and you are snapping your seatbelt across. It is going to be the same thing as texting."
Officers may have a tough time enforcing the law because of the difficulty in determining whether someone is texting or talking on the phone, which is not banned. Fines range from $200 to $500 dollars.

The theme for this one was "Lost" and it was written in late May of 2000. It's another one I tried to put a twist in at the end. I kinda like it.
The wild seas tossed the small sailboat unmercifully. The storm had come seemingly from nowhere, and only the incredible skill of the instructor kept them from capsizing. Nicole saw only sheets of rain and wild waves, and then she heard him yell a warning, as the tiny boat slammed to a stop and she was spilled out onto the wet sand of a beach.
Watching him work to save what he could in the driving rain and pounding surf, she thought back to when they met. He had a dark tan, sun bleached hair, and a well-maintained physique. He had been introduced as Ivan Carpenter, but quickly asked her to call him "Carp." She found him somewhat mysterious and a little aloof. He spoke only enough to convey the lesson, no matter how she tried to draw him out in conversation.
"Nicole! Mrs. Smethers!" It finally dawned on her that he was shouting to her through the gale. "Help me drag what's left to the tree line, and then we have to find some shelter!" Ashamed to have been caught daydreaming at such a time, she helped him drag the remains of the boat up into the trees. Then she followed him inland a little until he pointed to a thicket, saying," That will have to do; it's out of the worst of the wind and rain anyway."
They squirmed their way into the thicket, sitting on her towel that he had salvaged. Only then did she start to worry, as she was sure this was not the resort island. She knew there were other little islands in the area, but most without fresh water, so therefore uninhabitable. She started to feel cold and afraid, and found herself exhausted and shivering.
"Will we be okay?" she asked in a shaky voice. "How long before they find us?"
"This storm will blow over in a few hours at most, and they should find us by tomorrow," Carp told her. "It will be dark by the time the storm is gone, though, so we'll be spending the night here."
She started shaking worse with cold and fear; and he put his arm around her as the gale howled around them. She moved closer, and the combination of her exhaustion, with the warmth and confidence that he exuded, lulled her into a deep sleep.
She woke with a start. It was dark! Where was she? Then she remembered, and started to panic as she realized she was alone. But then she saw Carp just outside the thicket, and he had a fire going. She crawled out, and he handed her a cup of tepid water, and a piece of fish on a palm leaf.
"Where in the world did this come from?" she asked, amazed, but famished enough to take a bite first.
"Water came from the boat; rain filled the whole aft end, the way it's sitting. All the water we're likely to get, too. The cup was in your bag."
"What about the fish?" she asked as he handed her more.
"Easy enough to catch in these waters. Got it right at dark while you were asleep."
"Well, you're amazing; and I thank you," she said, making him look uncomfortable.
"I don't know about that. This whole thing is my fault, I reckon. Storm should have moved the other way but it sure fooled me. I'm really sorry about that. You'll get a refund for the lesson, of course."
She moved over to sit beside him. "Don't be silly; I'm just glad I had you to get me through it alive." She reached up and kissed him on the cheek, and found his blush endearing. She also found herself considering a whole night there, alone with him, as she always did think he was very sexy. But she was a housewife from Kansas, married faithfully for 20 years; and she believed that nothing was going to happen to ever change that. Yet, when he looked down at her and asked, "Are you warm enough?" she felt herself falling into those deep brown eyes.
"Please put your arm around me again," she said. "It was so nice and warm before." As he did, she moved closer, aware of every inch where their skin touched. She found herself snuggling tighter, and ran her hand through the hair on his chest. She tipped her head up, and her expression invited his lips to find hers. Everything else, including the cold, was forgotten... they were the only two people in the world.
It was a night of passion like none she'd experienced before. He raised her gently to heights she'd only dreamed about... pleasuring and guiding her... again and again.
She felt the warm sun on her skin, but still she fought waking, not wanting the night to end. She found herself wrapped in his arms, their bodies entwined, the memory of the night before so vivid in her mind. Then she heard a helicopter and felt sand against her cheek as it moved over them. She could no longer sense Carp's presence, and felt herself moving more and more toward wakefulness, though still trying to fight it.
"Nicole, wake up! It's the friggin' middle of the day and you're gonna miss the sailing lesson you made such a big deal about, if you don't get your butt up off that towel and get moving!" She found herself looking at the sunburned face of her husband. Snapping awake she looked around. She was on a towel on the beach at the resort, not lost on a deserted island.
Disappointment overwhelmed her... until she looked over toward the sailboats. There Carp was waiting for her, just like in her dream. He had given her something she would remember forever, whether he knew it or not.
"I'll see you for dinner." her husband said. "And you be careful now. I don't care what they say -- it looks like it may storm."
Nicole walked off... smiling.

One of the hardest parts of going abroad is having to leave behind your beloved pet; it is always a heart-breaking feeling knowing a part of you is remaining in the UK. However, thanks to the introduction of new laws, you are now able to take your furry friends with you!
Taking your pet away with you will require a lot of preparation, and the process is often time-consuming, so it may be a good idea to start preparations as soon as possible. The Pet Travel Scheme permits the movement of pet animals to and from the UK without the need for quarantine. Pets in the UK are not exposed to many of the diseases found abroad, so it is crucial to book an appointment with your vet pre-travel.
Your vet will discuss a variety of things with you, including whether your pet is fit to travel, whether they have an up-to-date pet passport, and available preventative treatments. We'd like to use this as an introduction and outline for taking your pet abroad, but if you require further information then please contact your local Medivet practice.
Rules will vary from country to country, however there are general requirements for travel in and out of the UK:
If you are transporting your pet in a carrier, it must be large enough for them to stand up and turn around in. Try to put a few blankets inside their carrier for added comfort.
To get your pet used to the carrier, place treats inside the carrier a few days before you travel so they get used to going in. Once they are comfortable going all the way in, begin closing the door for brief periods. Do not let them out if they start barking, as they will think that barking is the key to being released.
Assuming your pet will be anxious for the duration of your travels, it would be a good idea to spray Adaptil or Feliway in their carrier and on their blankets. This will make them feel more secure and relaxed.
On the day of travel, feed your pet as early as possible to avoid travel sickness, but ensure they have a sufficient supply of water for the trip. Absorbent bedding may also be a good idea for longer trips.
If you are planning on travelling abroad with your pet, contact your local Medivet practice to ensure you meet all the correct requirements. Your vet will be more than willing to give honest and specialised advice for your pet.

In Brooklyn she can be seen at Union Hall on her monthly show Comfort Zone which she hosts with singer/songwriter Julian Velard. Prior to NYC she performed and trained in Chicago at IO, The Second City and The Playground Theater. Brooke hails from the Detroit suburbs, loves Coney dogs, and she's my guest today in 10 questions.
RM: How would you most accurately summarize your first ten experiences doing stand-up? How much of a variance did you see in the reaction of the crowds over the course of those first few performances; and how much of those variances were you able to attribute to minor adjustments you were making to your set?
BVP: I think it's sweet you think I can remember things from over a decade ago!! Awwwwww. I'm so flattered! Ha — but honestly, I would say my first ten experiences doing stand up were overwhelming anxiety before getting onstage, then sort of blacking out while I was on stage and going into survival mode to tell some jokes. It's a really terrifying thing to try out and the first few times can be especially tough for introverted people like myself. I got some laughs but who knows if they were laughing at my jokes or my spazzy, near-puking demeanor.
RM: Which areas of your approach to the art of comedy have benefited the most from your formal training at Second City, TPT and IO? Did you have any sort of "Aha!" or "Eureka!" moment during your time at any of those institutions where you had a significant breakthrough that changed the way you looked at humor in general?
BVP: Learning to spontaneously create comedy with your improv teammates or sketch group is an invaluable skill, and made me realize you can make stuff up while you're doing stand up even if your act is more written and rehearsed. My favorite long jokes I tell are the ones where I leave myself room to play and find different, interesting ways to eventually get to my punchline. It keeps it fresh and fun for me which comes off to the crowd like I'm brilliant and just coming up with the entire bit on the spot, when the truth is the beginning and end are very structured but the middle could go anyway.
RM: What's the most interesting discovery you've made while working on the set of "Hack My Life"? So far, what has the best thing about getting to work with Kevin?
BVP: Every day on Hack My Life is an absolute treasure! The show really keeps us on our toes and you are forced to be flexible so I guess in a way I've discovered I'm capable of being a better host than I originally thought. So naturally, working with Kevin is the best because he is a total hosting pro and up for anything. He always brings awesome energy and antics to set and I've learned a lot from working with him.
RM: What do you guys have in store for Season Two of that show that is different from what took place during season one? Was there a lot of discussion about how that differentiation was going to be created between yourself, Kevin, and the producers? If so, what ideas did you have about how to make Season Two fresh while still maintaining the key elements of the format of the program?
BVP: Season Two just feels like we are hitting the ground running. We had such a great production team, I really settled into my role this year a lot more and we had way more fun. I think the episodes seem bigger and brighter and there was a lot of fun back and forth with the producers who helped us deliver good material that everyone felt happy with. Season One was awesome by all means, it's just that feeling of confidence that you can bring to season two because now you are a vet and know what's expected of you.
RM: Where do you think this ongoing American thirst for DIY projects and life hacks originates? Is it something more than just the desire to save money in a time where a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet financially?
BVP: People always want to save money if possible but I think hacks, for most people, are the most useful when you're in a jam and you suddenly remember this little hack you learned from our show or the internet or wherever. I really think they are great for situations like that as opposed to someone completely overhauling their life and hacking the shit out of their everyday routine.
RM: Why do you think that you and Giulia Rozzi work so well together? Was that a friendship that took several years to develop, or were you pretty sure within the first five minutes of hanging out with her that you were on the same wavelength and you would soon be collaborating?
BVP: With every year that goes by, I feel like Giulia and I take on a bigger and better project together. We knew from the get go that we were really like-minded and had so many similar personal life situations that helped us bond. Also, she cracks me up and vice versa so who wouldn't want to be friends with someone who thinks you're hilarious? We're viewed as a duo at times which is really fun and we've hosted music festivals together, two dog fashion shows in Brooklyn (which was the best thing ever), several incarnations of our live comedy show, birthdays, dinner parties, karaoke — the list goes on. It's just a natural progression that we also have pitched TV show ideas, written scripts together and now created a web series.
RM: For people reading this interview who have never had the chance to see a comedy show at Caroline's, how would you best describe the atmosphere of that room? What are the specifics of the setup itself which makes it a great room for any comedian to perform in?
BVP: I don't perform there as much as I used to, but when I was brand new to NYC that was mecca for me. I started my comedy in Chicago and while there are some wonderful and notable shows in that great city, something about Caroline's was so exciting and really made you feel like you were doing something right if you got on that stage. Every club has its upsides and downsides but Caroline's on an electric night with all the stars aligned has got to be one of my favorite places to perform in NYC.
RM: What can you tell us about your monthly show "Comfort Zone" that you do with Julian? How involved are you with the musical portion of the production; and what are the most important elements of a successful presentation that mixes comedy and music?
BVP: Before I started stand up, I really wanted to put together an indie rock band with all women. This proved to be harder than you would think and also, I was pretty limited on electric guitar so I was a terrible front woman. God bless you, Carrie Brownstein. Anyhow – so much time went by where I only did comedy and it really made me miss doing something musical. I had been a big fan of Julian's and over the years realized we had friends in common and our paths crossed more often. You could call it light stalking on my part, but I really had a hunch that we could have fun collaborating and I wasn't wrong. Our show comes back in November and we fully write and conceive a new song for each show. Obviously, he does the heavy musical lifting but I co-write lyrics and brainstorm the theme and style of our song. It's so fucking fun and was honestly even scarier to sing for a crowd that it was to perform stand up. We are a good team because I hold us to a really high standard comedically and Julian holds us to a really high standard musically so the result is a smart, funny and insanely catchy song.
RM: If you couldn't answer that it is equal parts both, would you say that comedy is more of an art or a science? Are there any elements of the brainstorming process that could technically be considered more scientific as opposed to artistic, and likewise is there anything about elements such as comedic timing which could be viewed as primarily artistic above all else?
BVP: It's certainly both but I lean more toward treating comedy artistically. BUT, I do think comics have a breakthrough when they discover their rhythm and their formula for delivering jokes — it's like you can plug anything artistic and weird into a very mathematical joke format equation. I know it when it's happening but I can't quite wrangle all of my stand up into a formula because I like long stories as well as short, nonsensical bits. My formula works really well for medium length jokes and you will see more consistency there.
RM: Which part of the comedic writing process would you consider to be the most pleasurable and why? Conversely, which portion of that journey would you say you dread the most? Why do you think you hate that part so much; and how have the answers to these questions changed since your first couple of years doing comedy?
BVP: I don't sit down and brainstorm new material as much as I used to. Your first couple years you have to generate a lot. I am currently in the mode of working smarter, not harder. I am going back to great ideas I had from several years ago and expanding on them. It's amazing how you ditch so much material over the course of a career but when I go back and work on it now, I'm so good at punching them up and knowing how to complete the thought process. It's literally like finding gold. Thanks, younger, dumber me! And to answer the question about the part I hate and don't do very often — I do not record my sets and listen to them even though that seems to be really common for a lot of other comics. Yes, you can learn a lot and get rid of bad habits and really tighten a set by recording and analyzing yourself but I loathe it to no end. I love being in the moment and if I have a bad string of shows I can ask a friend what they think I'm doing wrong or usually figure out what's going on — I definitely do not want to relive it and watch a recording of it.
RM: What's up next for you in the remainder of 2015 and beyond? Anything big in the works that we should know about?
BVP: I have a little bundle of television treatments, scripts, and other goodies that are out in the world at different stages of pitching and development. I am making season two of Seeing Other People (my web series) this fall and recording an album in early 2016.

Already shopping for the sunshine months and it's only February?! Lucky you! But if not, I know just the thing to get you in the spirit! After all there's just a few more snowfalls between now and bikini season. Take a peek at Accessorize's SS13 campaign featuring the rather gorgeous, and controversial, Kate Upton for inspiration.
The all-American model (who you'll no doubt remember from that Terry Richardson video) poses on a Barbados beach almost-covered in jewellery by the global accessories brand. She'll be seen wearing an equal or lesser amount of coverage in the upcoming release of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, for the second year in a row!
In this campaign, captured by Josh Olins, Upton shows a little less by way of skin and sports, and a little more tailoring and handbags, proving she can rock high fashion. Add this achievement to the list of others Kate's claimed in this year alone, which includes a Vogue cover, Superbowl adverts and a Sam Edelman campaign, and we think the buxom beauty is really changing the face (and body) of the fashion industry.
What do you think of Kate? High fashion hero or seriously sexy lingerie model?

Weaving a new website
Building a great website involves extensive user research and testing to make sure it's done right. Bass Coast Shire Council are calling out to their users – you – to find out what they need to consider as they plan their new website.
The current Bass Coast website has over 800 pages, and users often find it difficult to find what they are looking for and complete tasks online. Consolidating and mapping all of Council's information into a new website will require thorough research and consultation with users.
Bass Coast Shire Mayor, Cr Pamela Rothfield, explained that the new basscoast.vic.gov.au website will provide an important and helpful community resource.
"The community need to be able to access information and complete tasks quickly and easily. Enabling a smooth online process via a well developed website means we will be making the most of everyone's resources and time," Cr Rothfield said.
"Importantly, the new website needs to focus on the user and their needs. It should use common, community language and be orientated around the user and their reasons for visiting the website."
You do not need any experience or specific skills to be involved in the website development workshops. Council encourage any community members with an interest in communications, or who are simply happy to volunteer some time, to represent their community.
If you have any feedback on the current basscoast.vic.gov.au website, or would like to be involved in a community workshop to brainstorm and develop plans for the new website, please email your interest or feedback to email@example.com

Pioneer Missions had its roots in the Bergthaler Mennonite Church
of Manitoba. In the 1930s, people from this church felt the need
for their own mission program. In 1938, they held a missions festival.
Two years later they formed the Bergthaler Missions Committee to
investigate areas of need and potential service. Their first attempt
was a school for orphans in Mexico called The Home of the Good
Shepherd. This mission ended after a few years because of disagreements
and problems with the Mexican government. Even while the Mexican
school was nearing its end, the Bergthaler church was planning a
new mission. This time, they looked closer to home. (Mennonite
Pioneer Mission list of representatives.)
Mennonite COs had chosen northern teaching as their alternative
service. When they returned home after the war, they had told church
leaders of the desperate situation. These communities, the COs said,
needed for social and missionary help.
In the last portion of
this clip Henry Gerbrandt connects the CO expereince with the founding
of the Mennonite Pioneer Mission.
Bergthaler Mennonite Church accepted the challenge and established
six missions in northern Manitoba between 1948 and 1960. They were
Matheson Island (1948), Pauingassi (1955), Loon Straits (1955),
Cross Lake (1956), Manigotogan (1957), and Bloodvein (1960). Some
of these communities had Anglican, United, or Roman Catholic churches,
but they did not have regular services or resident priests. Historian
Peter Fast describes what the COs had seen in these communities.
the war, these men saw the need for a true Gospel witness. Many
were alarmed at the type of Christians produced on old established
church mission fields. A form of godliness was produced, steeped
in formalities and rituals. This situation gave these men all the
more impetus to seek ways and means of challenging the neglected
Indian and Métis with the Gospel of Christ. (Peter Fast,
Mennonite Pioneer Mission: A Venture of Faith, p.3) (Read
the purpose statement in the Mennonite Pioneer Mission publication).
of the natives were technically part of other churches, but they
didn't see their religion as connected with their everyday life.
For this reason, the Mennonites felt justified in sending missionaries
to these people. Besides being an opportunity for spiritual witness,
the Mennonite church also wanted to improve the living conditions
in these communities.
and Trudie Unrau started the mission on Matheson Island. In 1948,
it was home to 175 people. They relied on traditional sources of
income such as hunting, trapping, and fishing. The Unraus worked
to improve the religious and social lives of the people. (see
sample sermon notes) They organized the building of a
church and started religious education. Mennonite Pioneer Mission
also sent nurses to Matheson Island and encouraged teachers to volunteer.
The Unrau's took interest in the host culture and used an English-Cree
primer and vocabulary. (See sample
the 1973, the name of Mennonite Pioneer Mission changed to Native
Ministries. The terms pioneer and mission were no longer acceptable.
For many people, these words had unhappy connotations and implied
a superior sender speaking down to an inferior receiver. This understanding
did not accurately reflect the nature of the program, so the name
changed to Native Ministries. This change emphasized the equality
of all Christians.
the name, this had been the intention from the beginning. Jake Unrau
noted that he had much to learn from the natives. Even though he
had more formal education, he found that he was learning as much
as he was teaching. In Cross Lake, Ernie Sawatzky spent three weeks
on a trapline and attended traditional native dances to try to understand
the people better. This effort to understand native culture instead
of condemning it earned Sawatzky the respect of the people. In Manigotogan,
a Métis community, Jake Unrau organized the Wanipigow Producers
Co-op in 1963. This allowed fishers to sell their fish at higher
prices by presenting a united front.
the most successful mission was in Pauingassi. This small community
on Lake Winnipeg did not have formal reserve status. The government
had not provided a school and the members of the community were
isolated from the outside world. Only one person in the community
spoke English. The rest spoke Saulteaux (pronounced Soto). Alcohol
abuse was a problem, as was low employment.
and Elna Neufeld, former students at Canadian Mennonite Bible College
in Winnipeg went there to serve in 1956. Not only were they teachers
and preachers, but they also dispensed medical and legal advice,
and worked as mechanics and labourers. The most important reason
for their success, however, was their willingness to learn Saulteaux
so they could speak to the people in their own language. By 1976,
the resident missionary presence had ended. A number of natives
had been ordained as church leaders and now they were leading the
church in Pauingassi and reaching out to other native communities.
Native Ministries continues in a number of communities. It is committed
to both spiritual and social transformation. Although the name has
changed, the mission has remained the same from the time of the

By Joshua Balling
I&M Managing Editor
A small flowering shrub has brought construction on the Bartlett Road bike path to a screeching halt.
A number of Nantucket shadbush plants, prolific on the island but considered a threatened species in Massachusetts, were destroyed during construction of the path late last month, leading the state highway department and Massachusetts Natural Heritage to order the project shut down until a mitigation plan can be put into place.
Planners sent a proposed remediation strategy to Natural Heritage Tuesday which identifies a number of sites on either town or Land Bank property where shadbush already grows and can be encouraged to spread, transportation planner Mike Burns said. Once Natural Heritage signs off on the plan, which could be as early as today, the project can resume.
�The construction equipment disturbed some endangered species on Land Bank property. Because the permit was not adhered to 100 percent, the project was ordered stopped,� Burns told the Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission last Monday.
�We are reviewing what contingency plans need to be taken, and what remediation is necessary. I think we can get the project started soon enough. The order to stop was a directive of MassHIghway in conjunction with Natural Heritage.�
Town officials met with Natural Heritage and MassHighway representatives last week and left believing a resolution could be reached, planning director Andrew Vorce said.
�They got a commitment from the town that we would take their claim seriously, and work to address their issues. The Land Bank has offered to help, to identify some sites where there could be management to allow the plant to thrive,� he said.
Victor-Brandon Corp. is the paving contractor in charge of the bike path project.
�Apparently there was some miscommunication. The area where some fill was deposited close to the plants has been corrected. The area that�s been brush-cut, we will have to find some area to replant, and it will have to be at a 2-1 ratio. We are looking for a suitable area,� Vorce said.
That area could be town-owned or Land Bank property away from the bike path project, Land Bank executive director Eric Savetsky said.
�The chances are that whatever additional shadbush mitigation is necessary may have to happen off-site because the fairway of the (Miacomet) golf course is just through the bushes (adjacent to a portion of the path). We want to maintain a safety buffer between the path and the golf course,� he said. �The shadbush needs sunlight, so it would mean taking down some pine trees to allow it to grow. That�s not something that would help with safety in the area.�
Burns said planners have identified five areas for the potential encouragement of additional shadbush growth. Once Natural Heritage agrees, a specific site will be determined, he said.
Making the matter confusing is the Nantucket shadbush�s prolific growth on the island.
�Locally, this plant is quite common. It might even be the most common plant on the island. But globally, this may be the only place it can be found. Therefore, it�s endangered,� DPW director and NP&EDC member Jeff Willett said.
�Common shadbush is a weed. Whether Nantucket�s version is truly unique is where we are,� Vorce said. �Apparently there�s a different type of flower on the one on Nantucket. In order to challenge it, there would have to be a really detailed analysis done by a botanist. It might not be worth the effort.�
In other NP&EDC news last Monday, the commission elected Nat Lowell Chairman and Brian Chadwick vice chairman, accepted the appointment of Michael Kopko as its County Commission representative, and appointed Don Visco an at-large member.
The NP&EDC also named Jack Gardner its representative on the town�s Contract Review Committee and Linda Williams its representative on the Capital Program Committee.

I grew up in Scotland and first picked up a camera in my early teens. Back in those days it was all film camera's and manually focused lenses.
So began a long love affair with capturing images and creating composition.
In more recent years I have spent many hours learning both camera techniques and how to bring them into post processing. Needless to say my gear has also become much more sophisticated and I am proud to say I now shoot Nikon.
I live on the other side of the world in Sydney and have spent the last 8 years travelling extensively around the world. This is where my love of travel photography was ignited and I have been lucky to visit some amazing places.
In 2013 I made the bold decision to give up a lucrative professional career in the corporate world to become a commercial photographer. This was something I had always wanted to try and so far I love doing this.
So SB Photography was born offering a range of services to my clients including:
- Personal & Corporate Portraits.
- Group & Team photographs.
- Sport Action photography.
- Personalised design to meet client specific needs
So welcome to my site , I hope you enjoy my images and feel encouraged enough to leave some comments. It helps me a lot to understand what people like and find a pleasing image. You can also contact me directly:
Email: email@example.com
Mobile: 0401 973 346
Remember the composition is already there so go and capture it

New Faculty
EAPS is delighted to announce that Kristin Bergmann will be joining EAPS as an Assistant Professor in July 2015.
Kristin's multi-disciplinary research—stratigraphy, sedimentology, (clumped isotope) geochemistry, geobiology—focuses on reconstructing the record of environmental change from observations of sedimentary rocks from latest Precambrian to Ordovician time. To date she has worked on carbonate sedimentary rocks in order to better understand how the chemistry and climate of the oceans and atmosphere have affected the evolution of animal life over this time. Kristin's research connects well with EAPS geobiology, paleo-climate and paleo-oceanography, and surface processes groups and will add a new component to our field geology program.
She received a BA degree in Geology and Environmental Studies from the Carleton College in 2004, spent three years teaching earth sciences at Pennington High School, and is about to defend her PhD thesis at Caltech (supervised by Professors John Grotzinger, Woody Fischer and John Eiler). This summer she will start a Junior Fellowship with the Harvard Society of Fellows, to work with Professors Andy Knoll and Dave Johnston. She will join us in the summer of 2015, but being next door she will probably begin to engage well before then.
Search committee members were Wiki Royden (Chair), Noelle Selin, Taylor Perron, Sam Bowring, and Ed Boyle.

Sussex's crushing triumph over a lacklustre Essex side was not enough to see the hosts through to the quarter-finals of the Natwest T20 Blast, falling to progress after Somerset blitzed through Hampshire, vaulting their net run rate above the Sharks and sealing fourth spot.
Both sides entered the game knowing only a win would see them in the knockout stages in an incredibly tight South Group, with six teams still in the mix for the final two qualification spots. Essex had suffered a tight defeat the night before against Kent and came into the game knowing a quick victory was required to transform their weaker net run rate. Sussex had lost badly at the Oval last weekend but were in a strong position with the second best net run rate of potential qualifiers, and a home tie in front of a raucous Hove crowd. The Eagles were unchanged from their Kent clash, but Adam Wheater's injury appeared to leave the team a batsman light: the slew of all-rounders needed to fire if they were to win.
The Sharks have this week lost Ross Taylor back to New Zealand for personal reasons; the captain had been sub-par with the bat and had made questionable decisions with his bowling attack but offered valuable experience. Highly-rated left-arm quick George Garton replaced him in a side with six frontline bowlers.
Ryan Ten Doeschate won the toss and elected to field. Stand-in Sussex captain Ben Brown noted at the toss that he would have bowled also, but remarked that he was not hugely disappointed to be batting. Chris Nash and Luke Wright are one of the most experienced and prolific opening duos in domestic T20 cricket and set about setting up the innings with a flying start in the power play. Good opening overs from Mohammad Amir and Paul Walter strangled the free-scoring pair initially, but a swipe over mid-off in the Jamie Porter's third over set Wright on his way with a flat six. Nash hit his stride with a flicked six to the forward square leg boundary in the next over. Mohammad Amir returned for the fifth over and would have had Nash caught at deep square leg barring Callum Taylor losing the ball in the evening sun, and Amir's histrionics in response would later prove foolhardy. The 6th over went for twelve thanks to another legside six from Wright, 54-0 in thepower play a solid start.
The middle overs started superbly for the south-coast men, Ravi Bopara going for ten and then former Shark Ashar Zaidi's left arm spin being dismissed for 17. At 81-0 entering the 9th over 200 seemed a real possibility, but Bopara mix of slower balls and back of a length accuracy proved difficult to score off. Wright felt he had to accelerate, hoisting the medium pacer to long-off where Ten Doeschate took a superb catch, tossing the ball to himself to prevent stepping over the boundary. New man Stiaan Van Zyl didn't face a ball, called through for a suicidal single by Nash and run out by Dan Lawrence.
Nash and Brown tried to build, the latter fortunate when Amir lost the ball in the lights, dropping a simple catch at short fine leg (he would later lose sight of the ball again at cover). Nash reached a 35-ball 50 in the 11th over, his sixth of the season; fourth top run scorer in the Blast at the end of the group stage suggesting the veteran is far from finished at T20 level. Brown would go quickly, however, a leg side wide missed attempting a pull, pivoting out of his crease and quick work from James Foster off Simon Harmer stumped the wicketkeeper-batsman. Harmer bowled well, the off spinner's accuracy from around the wicket constricting scoring chances, figures of 1-26 from his four overs.
Laurie Evans was in next and solidified in a partnership of 68 with an increasingly hampered Nash, who was forced to call for a runner. Both displayed a range of strokes with clever dabs and flicks bringing boundaries backward of square. Nash's downfall came about attempting a paddle sweep wide outside off, clipping the top of his stumps on a well-timed scoop that otherwise would have careered to the boundary. Evans launched a couple of monster sixes and an audacious reverse flick for 4, taking the Sharks to 172-4 off their 20 overs. This seemed a par score, with the Sharks feeling they probably should have made at least 180 given the flying start. Amir's 19th over was outstanding with just three from it, the Pakistani displaying just how good a bowler he has become since his return to first-class cricket.
Essex knew at this point that they would have to chase down the total inside around 13 overs due to predicted outcomes elsewhere, a mammoth task that proved far beyond the Eagles on a pitch offering help to spinners and intelligent change of pace seamers. Sussex had opened the bowling with Danny Briggs and David Wiese extensively through the year and followed suit here, and it payed dividends in the opening Briggs over. Varun Chopra had made a century the night before but could only pick out George Garton on the midwicket boundary, a good catch dismissing the opener for 1. Wiese and Jofra Archer went for 20 in the following two overs as Dan Lawrence briefly frightened the Sharks, the youngster showing his immense potential and clean ball striking. The South African all-rounder Wiese is a canny and experienced operator and returned to claim both Lawrence and Bopara in his second over, Phil Salt at cover (on as sub for Nash) and keeper Brown taking good catches.
Briggs dropped a steepler off Archer and the Bajan ripped a yorker through Ten Doeschate but the flow of wickets was only briefly stopped, Chris Jordan's second delivery a leg side short ball that James Foster gloved to Brown. Spin twins Briggs and Will Beer bowled superbly in tandem: the former firing in his left arm orthodox and the latter tossing up leg spinners. Ashar Zaidi swept Beer's first ball to Salt who took another catch at deep backward square and Sussex eyed a quick victory to bolster their net run rate. Ten Doeschate's promising knock ended with a good catch at long on by a sprinting Chris Jordan to his left off Beer, and Callum Taylor was castled sweeping to plunge Essex to 65-7. The jugular was exposed, but the Sharks faced resistance from Paul Walter and Simon Harmer. They would later rue letting Essex get as many runs as they did.
News broke in the press box of Hampshire's home implosion, and Somerset's enormous net run rate swing. Tymal Mills, hampered again by injury, was on commentary for BBC Sussex and burst into the press box desperate to know the situation with regard to qualification. It was soon realised that Essex had got too many; Sussex were out on net run rate, Mills cutting a dejected figure as he slunk out muttering. The Eagles were eventually 117 all out, and the celebrations both in the crowd and of the Sussex players suggested they were blissfully unaware of the Ageas Bowl result. Surrey triumphed over Kent to secure third spot: Glamorgan and Hampshire already through, Somerset claiming fourth in the group.
The Sharks will be wondering what they have to do to progress in white ball competitions. Twice this year they have been confined to fifth spot, in the Royal London One Day Cup due to fewer wins despite a massively superior run rate. Rain had crippled both campaigns also. They will rue the tie against Kent and loss at Lords; both games should have resulted in wins with favourable runs required from the last over.
Essex will be disappointed also, but realistically will look forward to resuming their quest for the title in Division One with no more white-ball distractions. Sussex will resume their promotion charge in Division Two where again they may face a tight finish to gain the second promotion spot over Northants, Worcestershire and Kent. They will hope for a better outcome in that format, the Blast ultimately ending in dismay despite a big victory over the Essex Eagles at Hove.

S.D. Texas Holds that Amended Complaint Adding New Defendant Does Not "Commence" New Suit Under CAFA
BNA's Class Action Litigation Report (Volume 07 Number 04, Friday, Feb. 24, 2006, Page 119 ISSN 1529-8000) is reporting on Werner v. KPMG, LLP, --- F.Supp.2d ----, 2006 WL 295394 (S.D. Tx. Feb. 7, 2006):
An amended complaint adding new defendants to a class action did not commence a new suit for Class Action Fairness Act purposes because the new parties had already involved themselves in the litigation, a federal court in Texas said Feb. 7. . . .
[The Court interpreted] commencement under a complex Texas law allowing designation of "responsible third parties" [per Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 33.004, holding] the new defendants had become parties to the case prior to both the plaintiffs' amended pleading filed March 7, 2005, and the Feb. 18, 2005, enactment of CAFA.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's state TV is reporting that the country's president has criticized the morality police's use of violence against woman failing to observe the national Islamic dress code.
Hassan Rouhani's condemnation came after such an incident in Tehran was caught on video and went viral on social media channels.
Rouhani said Saturday that "promoting virtue and preventing vice" — the morality police's stated mandate — through violence is impractical. "Grabbing people's collars (to) promote virtue will not work," he said.
Iran's interior minister, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, had ordered authorities on Thursday to investigate the incident.
Lawmaker Tayebeh Siavoshi said Saturday that the female agent involved has been suspended from her job.
In December, Tehran's police said they will no longer arrest women for failing to observe the Islamic dress code.

South Florida Muslims join 1.25 billion fellow believers in the Eid ul-Adha, or Festival of Sacrifice, a major day on the Islamic calendar.
Eid ul-Adha commemorates a story in which Abraham offered his son as a sacrifice on God's command. God stopped him and provided a sheep instead. The Bible says the son was Isaac, but the Hadith, the collection of stories about Muhammad, says it was Ishmael, the ancestor of all Arabs.
The day also marks the culmination of the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Making the Hajj at least once is one of the five "pillars" of Islam.

Aquatint engraving with original hand color. Ca. 1827. Sheet size: 15 x 18 1/4". Inventory#: p501pmat. "Questa scena fu esequita pel Ballo tragico, La Vestale, composto dal Sig. Salvatore Vigano, e mefso sulle scene dell'I. R. Teatro alla Scala. La Primavera dell'Anno 1818." As opera reached a height of popularity and innovation in early 19th-century Italy, stage sets and scenery were increasingly viewed as art forms unto themselves. Enterprising artists and designers competed to create the most lavish, evocative, and visually engaging opera settings, and were so successful that their stage sets often competed with the performances themselves for an audience's attention and appreciation. Public criticism of various operas often revolved as much around the quality of the set designs as the beauty of the music, and audiences became increasingly discerning about the visual aspects of grand performances. Reflecting this tendency, Alessandro Sanquirico, a Milanese artist, was inspired to document the most striking sets at Italy's most celebrated opera house, La Scala in Milan. Sanquirico's vividly colored, masterfully drafted aquatint engravings capture the sumptuousness and sheer spectacle of these extravagant sets, often including costumed singers in the midst of a concert, and at the same time the artist brings the excitement of the performance to life in these remarkably vibrant illustrations. 0.

"We need to reclaim the word 'feminism'. We need the word 'feminism' back real bad. When statistics come in saying that only 29% of American women would describe themselves as feminist - and only 42% of British women - I used to think, What do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of 'liberation for women' is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? 'Vogue' by Madonna? Jeans? Did all that good shit GET ON YOUR NERVES? Or were you just DRUNK AT THE TIME OF THE SURVEY?" ― Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman
Feminism has been a contentious word for a while, and many young women seem to associate it, pejoratively, with certain outmoded ideas: man-hating, for instance, or hairy armpits. Women who define themselves as feminists are considered seriously unattractive -- or unattractively serious -- as if they can be conflated into much the same affliction. What is even more troubling, at least to me, is that population of women/girls who think that feminism is no longer necessary because the "battle for equality" has already been won. And yet, so many of the statistics that make up our lives (e.g., equal pay, sexual violence, rights over our own bodies) suggest otherwise.
In the past year, I've read some really strong UKYA books that take on feminist issues in ways that are brave, honest, provocative and deeply thoughtful. These books are holding a mirror up to our society and showing us exactly how much work still needs to be done. The word "feminism" certainly never appears in the speculative dystopia that is Only Ever Yours, but O'Neill gets her message across more than effectively. The mirror she holds up is distorted, definitely, but anyone should feel the horror of recognition of what shows up there. Am I Normal Yet? takes a more straightforward approach and engages in up-front consciousness raising.
Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale was the cautionary tale for my generation of young women seguing into adulthood. Written in 1986, my first year at university, Atwood's influential dystopia imagined a poisoned world where the birth-rate has fallen to an alarmingly low "no replacement" level. Although the true cause of widespread sterility was more to do with chemical warfare, women get scapegoated. The pill, abortions, educated women wanting to work rather than be mothers: all of this dangerous reproductive freedom is held up for blame. And then it is all taken away. Before long, women have no control over their own bodies; if they are fortunate enough to be fertile, they become vessels -- willing or not -- for childbirth
Atwood was writing in a post Roe v. Wade world, after the first (or arguably the second) wave of feminism. She noted the growing popularity of fundamental Christianity, and her novel served as a warning that hard-won rights for female equality were a slippery slope -- and that it was frighteningly possible to slip backwards.
As I was reading Louise O' Neill's Only Ever Yours -- which contains such deliberate parallels to Atwood's dystopic vision that it has been marketed as "A Handmaid's Tale meets Mean Girls" -- I kept thinking about Atwood's warning to women. In both dystopias, women are reduced and confined to one of three roles: wife/companion, concubine, or chastity/"martha" (in essence, a desexualised cross between a nursemaid and a prison warden). They are a sisterhood which is divided in every possible way and exists only to please and serve men.
Although the creeping religious fundamentalism that Atwood identified has certainly manifested itself, perhaps even more obviously in the Islamic faith than the Christian, the most profound cultural influence of our age has been distinctly secular: the rise of narcissism. Social media, reality television, selfies, You-Tube, the popularity of the Kardashians, and the list could go on and on. Can anyone under the age of 30, can anyone at all, escape from the picture-taking mirror we keep gazing into? Our smart-phone cameras are mediating our entire existence. The importance of physical appearance, the relentless pursuit of physical perfection and constant self-promotion are our culture's new holy trinity. Only Ever Yours is a truly frightening book, not only because it imagines what we could could become -- but because it identifies (and satirises) so accurately what we already have become. When the narrator of Only Ever Yours is punished, her internet privileges are taken away. It is as if her very self is being erased. "The need to record my life is as fundamental as my need to breathe. Without MyFace, I'm floating. I have nothing to anchor me down, to prove I exist."
In O'Neill's dystopia, women have been genetically engineered to the point that any notion of diversity has been almost entirely lost. As with Barbies, the prototype is exactly the same with slight adjustments in eye, skin and hair colour. Women, who are called "eves" and numbered like prints in the same series, read like a paint chart. Isabel, or rather"isabel", as women are never dignified with capital letters, is described as: PO1 Metallic Silver hair and #76 Folly Green eyes. Although the girls are told that they have been "perfectly designed", they are constantly exhorted to improve themselves. But that quest for improvement is limited, entirely, to physical appearance -- obvious intelligence, or any attempts to cultivate the mind, are discouraged. Curiosity, like anger, is an "unacceptable emotion". Every week the girls are ranked, according to attractiveness, and there is constant competition with no prize at the end. Although they are meant to be happy and positive, they live a goldfish bowl existence of staring at themselves all day and seeing nothing but flaws, magnified. Eating disorders and self-harm, as exemplified by isabel, are the only outlets for mental pain -- and the only ways in which the girls can "own" or control a body that has been created for a man's eventual use.
One of the most painful aspects of the society described in Only Ever Yours is the way that women are pitted against each other in an endless beauty contest. There is no way for friendship to survive in an atmosphere of constant competition. The Queen Bee character is called megan, and her cunning manipulations were almost unbearable to read. It was only after I finished the story, and had some distance from it, that I could partly admire megan for the way she utilises personal power in a pretty powerless situation.
Am I Normal Yet? is a very different kind of book from Only Ever Yours, but in many ways it is examining exactly the same kinds of pressures that are brought to bear on adolescent girls (not to mention grown-up women). Both books show how females mentally flay themselves with negative scripts, especially ones that have to do with being attractive and/or worthy of love. Both books deal with mental illness. Perhaps the major difference between the books -- other than the tone, of course, because one is a dystopia which makes its point through cruel satire while the other is both humorously and earnestly realistic -- is in the portrayal of female friendship.
The protagonist of Am I Normal Yet? is Evie, a 16 year-old girl who has just started Sixth Form College. Evie is hopeful that a new school will be a fresh start for her, but she is hiding a big secret: she suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Generalised Anxiety Disorder. Evie is on medication and sees a therapist regularly, but she feels constant anxiety about being able to maintain the "illusion" of "being normal". When she makes new friends, specifically Amber and Lottie, she suppresses the truth about what she has suffered: "mainly because they seemed to like who I was and I didn't want to tarnish the illusion."
One of the big themes in Am I Normal Yet? is the relationship between the sexes. For Evie, part of being "normal" is being in a romantic relationship -- but she keeps butting up against the harsh reality that teenage boys don't necessarily want the same things as teenage girls do. Evie and her friends set up a feminist support group, which they jokingly refer to as The Spinster Club, but while they discuss a variety of feminist issues, they ruefully acknowledge that the conversation seems to keep veering towards boys and the mixed signals they send. At the beginning of the book, Evie's therapist warns her against relationships with teenage boys: "they can make you overthink and overanalyse and feel bad about yourself . . . and they can make even the most 'normal' girls feel like they are going crazy."
The girls are pretty clued-up on not relying on boys for their own self-esteem, and yet the progress of the plot makes it clear that being jerked around tends to trigger negative mental scripts -- especially for Evie, who is quite vulnerable to the bad voices in her head. This book is terrific for educating readers about mental illness -- the character of Evie definitely "normalises" her condition by describing its symptoms and treatment in a very relatable way -- but one of the most interesting things it does it connect mental illness with the historical treatment of women. At the end of the novel, Evie makes the point that women are far more likely to suffer from certain types of mental illness -- depression, eating disorders, self-harm -- and that they turn powerlessness inwards. "I believe the world, our gender roles, and the huge inequality we face every day MAKES US crazy," Evie tells her friends in an impassioned speech at the end of the book.
The female friendships that Evie makes are an important part of her support system; being able to finally confide in Amber and Lottie is part of her growth. The book sends a strong message that female solidarity is of paramount importance to female mental health. If women don't stick up for each other, who else is going to do it?

John Cheever.
Today is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the American writer, John Cheever. Cheever (like Raymond Carver) specialized in the short story, and like Carver he wrote sketches of everyday life. His stories had an elegant simplicity and presented middle class suburbia as a place of sterility and coldness, manicured and polite but often dangerous and destructive to the newcomer or the outsider.
My first exposure to Cheever's haunting storytelling (though I didn't know it at the time) was via the film version of his story 'The Swimmer' starring Burt Lancaster. Cheever's short story had originally appeared in the New Yorker magazine in July, 1964. A man spends the entire story in swimming trunks, stopping in at every house with a swimming pool, telling people he's 'Swimming my way home.' The story starts with the character a braggart and popular wherever he goes, but the closer he gets to home the darker the encounters become and people shun him. None of this is explained in exposition but is shown in small disturbing scenes (coming across a hot dog wagon he knows he owns, which is now in someone else's yard, encounters with people he doesn't remember but they recognize him and shy away.) The final scene of the film when Lancaster arrives home to find it locked and boarded up with a cold wind blowing leaves in icy circles is unforgettable. He slowly sinks to a fetal position in the doorway. I was about 7 years old when I saw that and it has stayed with me to this day.
Cheever's original thinking about The Swimmer filled 150 pages of his notebooks, which he whittled down into a short story. In his formative sketches he was thinking of the classical story of Narcissus, who died gazing at his reflection in a pool of water. This becomes a thematic metaphor for the story as a whole.
His stories worked mainly by creating relationships of apparent civility but with worrying undercurrents. In that way he was the precursor to Carver, though Carver's cast of characters were a couple of steps down the social ladder from Cheever's. The magazine format with its generous wordcount allowed Cheever room to develop his narratives beyond the 'slice of life' (which he apparently disliked) into morality tales contrasting characters outer success with inner demons, in deft, subtle strokes.
Among his novels, 'Falconer' (1977) set in a prison, but metaphoric of society as a whole, is a classic.
Here is an article from The Telegraph in the U.K. about Cheever and his legacy.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- While the rest of the markets were hit by salvos of war talk, the prospect of conflict with Iraq had a mixed effect on the nation's weapons makers.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3 percent, but the Amex Defense Index DFI, -0.11% gave back $1.61 to $505.56. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Defense Index DFX, -3.12% slipped by 18 cents to $148.06.
Those two indices were indicative of the trading in individual stocks. Companies such as L-3 Communications LLL, -1.52% Northrop Grumman NOC, -0.97% and Teledyne TDY, +0.80% made strides while Integrated Defense IDE, +0.08% Boeing BA, +0.17% and Lockheed Martin LMT, -1.20% fell.
A major player in today's defense market, L-3 is providing key electronic components to various services. L-3 shares added $2.09, or 4.9 percent, to $44.44. Northrop tacked on 84 cents to $92.70. And Teledyne was up 5 cents to $12.45.
On the losing side, Integrated Defense has been on a downward spiral of late. The company gave back 72 cents to $11.16, for a 6.1 percent loss.
Talk of war always seems to hurt Boeing, which relies more heavily on commercial business than other aerospace firms. It lost 84 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $30.61. In a curious move, top Pentagon contractor Lockheed Martin lost 60 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $50.50.
United Technologies UTX, +0.42% which said Tuesday it would meet 2003 performance targets, lost ground at the outset but recovered by day's end. United Technologies had gained 95 cents Tuesday and built another 10 cents on that Wednesday to close at $63.95.

In May, Disney made it clear that selfie sticks were no longer allowed on rides. Now Disney World has taken it even further and has totally banned these camera aids from their theme parks, water park, and at DisneyQuest in Downtown Disney.
Selfie sticks were also banned at Disneyland Resort in California starting June 30, and at Disney parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.
Baggage Checks
Baggage checks are nothing new at Disney, but now looking for selfie sticks will be part of the routine bag check that takes place when you enter the park. Guests will have the option of turning in their selfie sticks to be picked up later, or they can take them back to their cars or hotel room. However, they will no longer be allowed in the parks.
Other Parks That Allow Selfie Sticks
Until now, Disney prohibited selfie sticks and other loose items on many of the thrill rides, and that is still the case at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but they, at this time, have not placed a parkwide ban on the camera accessory.
Sea World Orlando still allows selfie sticks into their parks as well. According to Disney's spokesperson, the reasoning behind the prohibition of selfie sticks has to do with safety concerns.
"We strive to provide a great experience for the entire family, and unfortunately selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." — Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty.
Disney admits several incidents have led to the change in policy. For instance, this week at Disney California Adventure park, a roller coaster was brought to a standstill after a passenger pulled out a selfie-stick to capture a snapshot. This resulted in the ride being closed for an hour.
Other Prohibited Items
According to their official website, selfie sticks have joined a number of other prohibited items including: Tripod stands or monopod stands that cannot fit inside a standard backpack, skateboards, wagons, inline skates, shoes with built in wheels, scooters, suitcases, coolers or backpacks with or without wheels larger than 24″ x 15″ x 18″. Coolers required for keeping medication cool can be stored in a locker or with Guest Relations.
Be sure to visit their website for the full list.

ALPENA — Gaylord High football coach Mark Mendolia breathed a huge sigh of relief as he walked off the field at Alpena's Wildcat Stadium Friday.
The Blue Devil program received a much-needed shot in the arm when senior Austin Samkowiak hit senior Trent Donker on a 62-yard scoring play with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter that gave Gaylord an 18-13 road victory.
"It was probably relief more than anything," said Mendolia. "It was really nice to have the kids sing the fight song and really feel like they accomplished something, instead of coming up short."

Take a look inside our latest issue, with epic features from some of the best events and primo locations around Australia.
Issue #166 of Australian Mountain Bike magazine has been out since early February, but if you haven't picked up a copy yet, here's a look inside one of our biggest issues yet.
We hopped across from the big island to the small island to put tyres to dirt at Maydena Bike Park, and while we already had a small gallery up last year, but we have a big piece on what's there now, and what's to come according to DirtArt head honcho Simon French. With rider feedback and our own experiences, it's fair to say the future looks bright. And big.
Throwing back to the 90s, we also dug into the history of the ever-evolving Kuranda Downhill in Tropical North Queensland. With a chat to World Trail's Glen Jacobs we got the back story on what might be one of the trails that helped kick mountain biking along for the whole of Australia. You can ride that very trail today.
Did you know Australia has one of the biggest multi-day mountain bike races in the world? That's right, with about 1800 riders the Cape to Cape is one of the biggest there is. But what's it mean to ride and race it for those who aren't in the limelight each day? We caught up with four very different riders to find out what took them to the mighty race in the west - and why we are likely to see them there again.
At the other end of the country, Australia also has one of the longest running marathon stage races in the world - the feared Crocodile Trophy. But is it the prehistoric beast some people think? Our Editor Mike Blewitt visited again to talk to the race winners, the organiser, and others in the event to find out what the real Crocodile Trophy is all about.
There's been a move towards wider rims for mountain bikes (and road bikes) and we had to wonder - what's best? With some help from DT Swiss and ONZA tyres we tested three different width rims to find out what internal width is best for aggressive trail riding.
Of course, we did a little bit more product and bike testing, including a full review of one of our favourite sets of DT Swiss wheels from the test, and the ONZA tyres. We also tested some great new Dakine trail gear, Shimano's AM7 shoes, Yakima's latest Dr Tray rack, and plenty more.
We put the Rocky Mountain Instinct BC edition through it's paces down in Tasmania, and countered the big wheeled, big travel bike with the new Whyte G-170 as well - which was flung down the mountain at Thredbo many, many times all in the name of writing a thorough review.
That's just a taste for what's in our current issue, but don't forget we've got two awesome competitions running at the moment. You can win a day of skills tuition with Chris Panozzo, and if you subscribe you might win a Merida One-Forty!

The Northumberland Gazette delves into the archives to remind readers of stories from the past.
10 YEARS AGO – Thursday, December 9, 2004
Plans to build a housing estate in Beadnell have been dramatically scaled down in the face of strong local opposition. Grainger Homes has submitted a planning application to erect 34 properties at Benthall – 102 fewer than originally proposed. But the new application is only for part of the seven-acre site. Campaigner Carole Field said: "I welcome the reduction and, if it was the original site, this would have been a significant victory for consultation with a community. However, the campaign goes on as we look to what might happen on the remainder of the site – lots of questions need to be addressed. Potentially we could end up fighting an application for as many houses as were originally proposed. Residents launched the Save Beadnell Village campaign earlier this year to fight the plans."
25 YEARS AGO – Thursday, December 7, 1989
Freddie the dolphin found himself the centre of national attention this week after a fishing boat landed an unusual catch. For when the Girl Hayley vessel trapped a 500lb Second World War mine in its nets off Amble Harbour, experts were left with a tricky dilemma – how to blow it up without harming Freddie. The drama began on Sunday morning when horrified skipper Peter Robinson, of Ladbroke Street, Amble, looked back and saw the explosive catch in his vessel's nets while fishing 20 miles north of Amble Harbour. He radioed the coastguard, who contacted the Royal Navy bomb disposal squad at Rosyth in Scotland. Overnight, Freddie's plight saw local and national media attention switch to Amble Harbour as experts debated how to safeguard the town's only bottle-nosed, finned resident.
50 YEARS AGO – Friday, December 11, 1964
Better road facilities are in the offing for Alnwick Infirmary. "Work on the widening of the present carriageway should be finished early in the new year," the Northumberland Gazette was told this week. When completed, the drive improvements scheme will have the effect of providing a modern roadway to the hospital in place of the years-old lane-like type of road, the bane of motorists because of its narrowness. It will also benefit the proposed central surgery to be built by the town's doctors. It is hoped the surgery will occupy about half-an-acre of land between the infirmary and the Great North Road. It will comprise a number of consulting rooms and a committee room. Provision will be made for dealing with minor accidents by way of surgery and parking facilities will be provided for up to 20 cars.
