There are reports that Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is still keen on Newcastle United right winger James Milner.
James Milner – one of Newcastle's best players this season
Milner spent a season at Villa Park on loan for the 2005-2006 season and played 33 times for Villa and scored 3 goals. Aston Villa of course were very close to securing the Leeds born native but when Newcastle failed to sign Mark Viduka, James was recalled from Birmingham around 6pm on the last day of the summer transfer season – 31st August – whoops.
Not a good way to treat the then 19 year old youngster, but James took it all in his stride. He is very mature for his age, and only wants to play football. James had an excellent season playing for Glenn Roeder in 2006-2007, and played 53 times for Newcastle and scored 4 goals.
The Daily Mirror are reporting that Martin O'Neill is willing to pay Newcastle £8M for the talented winger, to add some balance to the Villa midfield.
Not sure what the most forceful and polite way to say this is – but absolutely no chance!   Nice try.
Comments welcome.

I actually think it is a good deal for newcastle!
This lad is full of heart, but lack of pace and skill.
His crossing is horrible. More of a cross and hope rather then aim and cross!!!
8M is a good deal considering nufc bought him for 5 M. He should go. Our wingplay this season
is S**** except for ocassional inspired N'Zobia.
8M can be used to entice more talent wingers.
My Team for Monday:
Beye Edgar Faye Enrique
LuaLua Butt N'Zogbia Duff
Martins Owen
Bench: Forster, Diatta, Smith, Barton, Viduka
I know for some reasons, Smith will be included in the team, much to my detest because he just hasn't earned the right to wear the black and white stripes. No goals as a striker, no assists as a midfielder, no dribbles and crosses as a makeshift winger and no stopping in goals leakage as a defensive midfielder. No doubt he's a fighter, but thats just about him, isn't it?
I think the team i've listed has a nice blend of youth and experience. And if it doesn't work out for the youngsters, Edgar and LuaLua, we always have cover on the bench.
Still looking for that 1st win to kick-start King Kev's 2nd reign.
Keep the Faith
Howay the Lads
I'm up for selling our whole midfield, lock stock and non-smoking barrels.
Zog no longer has the confidence or passion and so it's probably best he's on his way.
Milner – makes a few chances, looks good against 2nd tier teams, may well progress to be a very good player. all in all I'd take 8 mill….. because I think we can do better for the money.
who are we going to get for £8m to replace him?
bentley? i think not, not for that price
quaresma? see above
arshavin? possibly
the point is, in todays market £8m is nothing, especially for an english player at that age. darren bent cost double that, carrick cost more than double that. i think if villa bid £8m for jimmy we should offer them £6m for agbonlahor and £7m for ashley young, then see what their reaction is. £8m is laughable
the point is that both, MILNER and ZOGGY are jungsters and they should accept that! If we manage to bring in for example McGeady both are not anymore first choice!
DUFF and MC GEADY will be first choice on each side as wingers with ZOGGY and MILNER we have fantastic promising jungsters as backup. That's the way it should be! Selling any of them would not make any sence in our situation…why open another construction place if not needed??
lets be honest, why would he want to be at newcastle in a relegation battle? or if the worst happens and you get relegated i think young james would walk to villa.
your not a big club, you all have delusions of grandure, keegan is the laughing stock of football, as is your owner along with the wise contingent.
play for oneill or play for keegan who is clearly years out of touch with the modern game?
your all as confused as your top brass and it amazes me that no one outside newcastle can see it.
I'd love to have Milner back at Villa. Under O'Neill he should blossom into a fantastic player. I think he'd come as well – we're a club firmly on the up and should challenge for Champions League next season. You guys are going to have another couple of years of transition before you can even consider challenging for top 6 – We've just been through our transition and are arguably still in it, but next year we'll be a force as we have a great core to our squad and a big transfer budget to add to that (plus yet more cracking youths coming through). If Keegan gets it right I can see you pushing on in a couple of years because you've got a good base of a team, good support, rich chairman, etc., but the problem will be attracting the better players when you're not in a European competition, and even more so when you're in the bottom 8 teams every year as you have been recently. At least we're currently in the top 6, so look at least a little bit appealing to players (for the first time in years!).
Good luck in the relegation battle – can't see you being dragged anywhere near it with the quality you've got.
hi Hadji,
I'd like Lennon to join Newcastle because he is fast and he is better than Milner. I would prefer Bentley because of his range of abilities – passing, crossing and scoring from distance.
So i'd swap Zog for Lennon but not both.
You may well be right ronaldeano – in which case we are all smoking out of our ar$es. BUT where there is smoke there is fire?
firstly. to sell milner would be a massive mistake, he is a great player, and as soon as he has some good players to play alongside he will make a large jump from the plateau from which he is currently in. he is amazing jimmys amazing, get him back in our team.
if lennon is available in the summer i am sure keegan will take a long hard look at him because he is another great player for the future.
Sorry, Milner is not a great player. His distribution has been average. His crossing is mostly poor. He scores good goals BUT how often?
The best we have? yes,
Good ? – at times,
Potentially very good ?- maybe.
Great? Where's the evidence?
Just because he's the best we have it doesn't make him great. I don't even put Bentley in the "great" class – yet!
Leo you're absolutely right mate,if we wanna be big again we have to think big.
All these top 4 teams have adequate replacement for all their players.
Ex:Ashley Cole gets injured they have Bridge
Xabi Alonso doesn't play they have Mascherano
Cristiano Ronaldo-Nani
If we wanna become big we have to keep our best players which we have at the moment and buy better one in order to have competition.
We have to have at least 2 class players playing on the same position.
At the moment we don't have that.
To everyone under 40 – welcome to the real world of Newcastle United –
Good players making their name and then moving on to a bigger club – Beardsley, Waddle, Gascoigne, Ginola, Shearer ( oh hang on – not him).
For a few golden years, we had more money than any one else and the tables were turned – but this is the way its gonna be for a while
Englands Michael Owen is the last big name we will attract – look what happened to him – and if we get relegated , dont bother looking for the word loyalty in the football dictionary – just get a revolving door fitted to the changing room.
but we wont get relegated……
There is no way we should even consider selling Milner for 2 reasons:
1. Even though he is not the finished article yet (needs to be more consistant with crossing etc) he is still young and full of potential. If we can finally put together a solid team of staff under keegan then this can be worked on. Or even make him an attacking midfielder.
2. We only have Milner in the 1st team that is a right winger!! If we sold him we would need to look for 2 new right wingers (depending on how quickly we promote Lua Lua).
We need to build on our young talent, get rid of the older, not good enough players. Keep the young players with potential and buy some experenced quality players to help them progress.
Somebody once said we are not a selling team. Don't get me wrong – Butt, Smith, Viduka, Carr, can go for nothing. There are better wingers than Milner (who may be in our reserves), but it smacks really of another media attempt to disrupt and destabilise the team even further. They have it in for the "Geordie Nation" and if we were anybody else we could take them to the race relations board. There seems to be a definite campaign in some papers against us and NUFC! Leave Milner alone. Have Smith instead!
Mike – there is an awful amount of frustration at Newcastle now. Your're right we can hardly be a big club in the Chamionship and since Bobby Robson left we've done nothing.
When you say big club for Newcastle 50,000 home gates – surely the fans deserve better – and we are currently the 14th richest club in the world.
But cannot disagree that we're not wich or big in term sof winning trophies – but hope springs eternal in the City of Newcastle. 😀
If we stay up or go down it's quite apparent that he isn't getting any better imo. The quality of his final devliery is shocking. Some of you guys really need to stop mistaking effort for talent. I've watched games this year where he's run for 90 mins and acheived the square root of f**k all.
Put it this way, a drop to the chmapionship should mean investing and developing the obvious quality youth that are coming through and tbh he becomes surplous at that level imo.
However, to stay in the premiership he should become nothing more than a squad player and if someone wnat to pay 8m for him bite there bl**dy hands off!
A quick thanks to some of the Villa fans who have given some good contributions to this blog but some others who seem to be from the other side of the world please do one!

Source: Start a Blog in 6 Easy Steps – beard with a blog
Some great tips on starting a blog.
I started this blog 3 years ago tomorrow (February 13, 2015) because I wanted a place to share stuff other than strictly Facebook.
It took me some time to really get a focus on what I wanted to post on my blog, starting out with news stories that I had found interesting and eventually I decided my blog was a perfect way to share the devotions that I read and listen to every day. I also post occasionally about technology and programming, but my main focus is devotions.
At the start of 2015, I made it a goal to start learning some web programming, and I wanted to have my own site where I could try things out. I started looking for a good, reliable web hosting provider and settled on DreamHost. I decided to have a TLD (Top Level Domain) of ".info" because at the time it was one of the cheaper TLDs. I also liked that DreamHost was very much for free speech.
I then decided I also wanted to have a blog and I knew that WordPress was easy to use and extendable platform and so installed it on my site. DreamHost offers many "1-click" installs and they make it very easy to get your site up and running. I'm not much of a designer and so I settled on one of the default themes in WordPress and have customized it with various widgets. One thing to be aware of though is that each widget you add also slows down the loading of your pages.
Also, when I first started my site, it was on a shared server, which was fine when I just had a few hundred posts, but as my blog grew it consumed more RAM and so eventually I had my domain moved to a VPS (virtual private server) which allowed my site to basically seem like it was on its own server. This has helped my site immensely.
The WordPress plugins I use are primarily for spam, security, backing up my site and optimizing it. I also use Jetpack so that whenever I post to my blog it will publish links to my various social media.
I find blogging fun and a good way to help spread God's Word to the nations, as well as sharing what I think other people will enjoy reading. I am still learning as I continue posting, but that really is the best way to learn: making mistakes and also trying new things. I observed what other bloggers did on their sites and modeled mine based on what I saw.

By transforming forecast accuracy measurement and through the application of control charts, Intel has minimized the "garbage in" and gained additional value from their optimized inventory plan.
Learn how Intel leverages coefficient of variation COV efficacy, control charts and inventory optimization to:
- • Reduce inventory while improving service levels
- • Appropriately qualify and weigh data within the historic samples
- • Automate data collection to run MEIO weekly, cutting the process from a month to a matter of hours

Letting go
On the first day of school, I walked her right to where her class was lining up by the door and went inside with her (not into her classroom, just to the doorway). The second day I walked her to the line but didn't go inside. Yesterday and today I said goodbye at the school yard fence (pretty much where I would drop her off from the car, if I just stopped on the street in front of the school) and said good bye to her there, and let her walk the 20 or so steps to her line by herself (but stayed and watched until she went in). I asked her today how she felt about it (there are still quite a few parents "hovering" near the line, but there are also many kids there that don't have a parent watching and waiting) and she said she was okay with it, so I think she would manage okay if I just dropped her off at the street. But would I be okay with it? Yes, it would be more convenient, but it just doesn't feel quite right to leave my baby unattended.... (there's a crossing guard at the street, but I'm not sure about playground monitors - I haven't seen any around Annika's door). So, when is the right time to let go? Am I rushing things, or not?
I'd love to hear some of your experiences with this (specifically sending your first child to kindergarten - I know it will get easier with the second child. And preferably reasonably current stories - I know things were different "back in the day", but this is the time we're living in now). Please leave me a comment here, or on Facebook. Thanks!

When Joelle went to kindergarten, she was bussed. So she hopped on the bus and was out of my sight straight from there. She was on the "late" bus though, which meant that she didn't have a lot of time between getting to school and heading inside...but it was never a concern for me. But with after school they're also on the late bus which means that they have that extra time outside at the end of the day instead of in the morning. I have never had a worry though and I think the more confident the parents are, the more confident the child is likely to be. As much as we want to hold on to our children, I am a strong advocate of letting go...or at least loosening the reins. :)
If I were you in your shoes, I would be totally fine leaving her. But every parent needs to be comfortable with their own decisions.

I'm quite heartless. I shipped my oldest daughter off on the bus for her first day of kindergarten and let 'er fend for herself!
Sorry, I know that really doesn't apply to your situation! But I also really think kids are tougher than our society allows them to be. She's not really alone or unattended on a school yard full of kids and will be fine on her own.

Kindergarten is tough. My kids take the bus, but they get off and go straight inside. In your situation I would pull up as far ahead as I could in the line and wait to watch my kid, just to make sure. I would probably do this until I was comfortable. I would make sure she knew where to go, what happens if we're late, what happens if we're early. There should be a teacher/monitor out there to make sure all kids get inside and none are left in the yard when the bell rings.

I'm in this same predicament - I have to drive Wyatt to school (even though we literally live a stone's throw away) because I also have to bring Paige to daycare and get to work for 9am....but they don't open the doors until 8:50. If I stay with him outside, I am late for work. I'd like to let him just stay by the doors - there are lots of other kids and some parents there now (not sure how long that will last!), but he's such a cautious kid that he's not okay with that yet.

Sound Check with Emii
Written by Trent Davis
Emii has taken the world by storm with her infectious beats and rocking style. She first gained attention on the gay dance floor with "Mr. Romeo," her smash collaboration with hip-hop legend, Snoop Dogg. Next came last winter's ode to the six-inch pump, "Stillettos," a track that remains a favorite among drag queens and fierce runway fashionistas. Even Logo continues to run its music video on its countdown show, alongside the latest videos from Rihanna and Beyoncé.
In addition to music, Emii has taken the plunge into film. She'll star in the upcoming sci-fi/thriller Starship: Rising, playing the sharp and opinionated Jolli, a young girl forced to leave her home planet to embark on an unforgettable journey into space and beyond.
Music fans can get a sneak peek of some of the film's action in Emii's next two music videos. "Freakier Freak" and "Time to Move On," her next two tracks to hit clubs this spring, were both filmed on the movie's set. But it's the lesbian action in "Freakier Freak" that's sure to catch the attention of her gay fans. In the video, Emii gets her freak on with a girl, kissing her and yes, very much liking it.
Let's cut to the chase, Emii. What's up with the lesbian kiss in "Freakier Freak?"
It will soon be revealed. The video for "Time To Move On" is actually a prequel to "Freakier Freak." It will provide a little bit of insight to the chaos of the "Freakier Freak" video.
Are two girls kissing still considered taboo?
Not for me!
Who is one famous chick you might try experimenting with?
I haven't met any incredibly geeky famous girls yet. But when I do…
Would you describe yourself as the girl next door?
No, that label is usually reserved for the cute, kind, and unassuming girls we all went to school with. I'm sure I have my cute and kind moments, but if I'm not doing something music, movie, or martial arts-related then I'm playing video games or reading comic books. I've tried baking pies but I don't want to burn my house down so I stick to what I know.
Is "Freakier Freak" encouraging fans to be gentlemen in the streets but freaks in the sheets?
Yes! Love the one you're with in the sexiest way possible and drive them absolutely wild in bed. Gotta let that freakier freak flag fly!
Do you think people need to lighten up when it comes to what other people do behind closed doors?
It's no one else's business what two or three, or even more consenting adults decide to do with their naughty bits. We all have varied beliefs on sexuality, but we have no right to judge others based on differences of opinion. And just because you don't agree with someone else's lifestyle doesn't mean you have to let it turn into hatred or violence. Live and let live.
Is there anything you won't do to please a guy?
I definitely have my limits, as most people do. But I'm definitely not vanilla.
Do you jam to your own music?
I'll jam to my own music with my friends when they decide to blast my music in my presence. Hey, why not? But I've really been on a Bruno Mars kick lately. I listen to everything from Cake to Akon to Foo Fighters.
Why are you releasing "Freakier Freak" and "Time to Move On" at the same time?
I call them the odd couple. They're so different but they're also two of my favorite songs.
It's a flashback to the early nineties when artists would release record singles with an A and B side.
You got it!
The A is the track that matters, the one that has the most commercial appeal. Which track is the A and which one is the B?
Don't make me choose. I love them both. They're two sides of the same coin.
How so?
We all have our naughty and nice sides.
Even you?
Sure. I just love combining a lot of naughty with a little nice.
What's "Time to Move On" about?
We all get into situations where we end up trapped in a comfort zone. We're not happy but not willing to do anything about it. Although it might not be the easy choice, we have to let go of the things that hold us back or hurt us. Life is too short to get stuck.
It's often hard to tell the right time to move on.
When you know that something isn't right, you gotta go. Even if it's just in the back of your mind, you have to listen to your gut because sometimes we push our feelings back. Make a change before regret kicks in.
Are you always moving on?
I guess you could say that. My friends are always surprised at how quickly I let things go. If something doesn't work out or I have a bad experience, I don't let it get to me. There's no point. I suppose that means I am constantly moving on and forward.
What's next?
That's a loaded question! More music, more touring, more filming, more everything! I'm ready to rock and I'm not slowing down.
"Time to Move On" and "Freakier Freak" and their remixes are available on iTunes now. Visit www.emii.net.

Agency: M&C Saatchi
Client: Foster's
Foster's is 'throwing down the gauntlet' in the standard lager sector with a new multi-million pound media campaign that urges lager drinkers in the UK to tap into the famous Aussie No Worries attitude to life – and to 'Get some Australian in You.'
The brand enhancement programme, which begins in June, will encompass new TV, cinema and radio advertising, digital activity and CRM work maintaining Foster's marketing momentum throughout 2009.
Created by M&C Saatchi with media planning and buying by MediaVest, to reach Foster's 18 – 34 year old target market, the new campaign will launch with two 40-second executions, 'Backpacker and 'Deep Sea' that will be screened on terrestrial and satellite TV from mid-June.
Each ad shows the lead character in a stressful situation which – by virtue of being part Australian – they respond to in a typical No Worries fashion leading to the new end-line "Foster's – get some Australian in you."
Brand Manager for Foster's at Scottish & Newcastle UK, Natalie Clearie, said, "Foster's is an established performer in the standard lager sector and humour is a weapon that has served the brand well in our advertising over the years.
"The new campaign reverts to the brand's rich advertising history and returns to its Aussie roots to bring back the No Worries attitude to life that Foster's intrinsically embraces."
She added, "Our research showed us that, now more than ever, people yearn to re-connect with a stress-free world and Foster's is the perfect beer brand to facilitate this."

This post is dedicated to those of you who like trekking. Curitiba is surrounded by "morros" or hilly mountains which offers stunning views of the surrounding atlantic rainforest. There is plenty to explore just under an hour drive from the city.
A Brazilian friend of mine is an avid trekker and he got me inspired to explore some of the mountains around Curitiba. I made a promise to myself to climb one mountain per month in the upcoming winter. It's a great activity for the colder months when the temperature drops, making walking uphill manageable. Depending on the difficulty of the trek, you can bring your kids and there are always great spots for a pick nick. Some places also have simpler restaurants or "lanchonetes".
Keep in mind though, that it can be a bit of a detective work to find out how to get to the trails, as it is not always very well signaled. Using a 4-wheel drive is not necessary, but it helps as some of the dirt roads can have some irregularities, especially after rain. Fill your bag with plenty of water, snacks, repellent, sunscreen and binoculars. To maximize your experience, pick a clear day with reasonable temperature and low chances of rain. To help you start, I gathered a few tips from my own climbs, including some useful websites.
Morro dos Perdidos
This mountain of 1500m is situated ca 1-hour drive south of Curitiba. You need to pay R$10 reais per person to the park manager at the bottom of the hill. Just beep when you arrive and he'll open the gate for you. If you're lucky, the park manager's dog will follow you up the hill (ca 1km), and show the way to a beautiful waterfall. There is a sign "cachoeira" which is not difficult to miss. You can park off the main dirt road and make the rather easy walk into the rain forest to the waterfall (ca 10 min). There are some natural pools below waterfall where it's possible to swim. We estimated the temperature of the water to 18 degrees C – chilly, but refreshing. You can drive, walk or mountain bike the remaining dirt road to the top of the mountain (ca 5 km) where you'll find a weather station and a spectacular view over the valley.
How to get there
Take highway BR-376 for ca 50 km direction Garuva/Joinville, Santa Catarina. Pass the water reservoir Vossoroca. Right after the lakes you will pass the Rodoviara Policia Federal station. This is just after KM 662. Now pay attention – after the police station there will be a curve. In the middle of this curve there is a road to the right. There is no time to think – just turn! Once you've done so, there is a small sign confirming you have arrived to Morro dos Perdidos. The road thereafter divides into two – take a right. Soon you will reach a small farm and a gate, where you need to get the attention of the park manager and pay.
Waterfall, view and the "persistent little friend" from Morro dos Perdidos
Morro do Canal
This is a slightly more adventurous trek due to the steepness of the trail. You'll need 1.5-2 hours to reach the peak of 1396m. Much of the trail consists of iron ladders and chains, so you need to feel comfortable climbing. Well up at the top you can enjoy the panoramic view of various lakes, surrounding peaks, and the towns of Antonina and Paranaguá. Falcons are guarding from the rocks and on clear days you see them circulate above the valley. At the bottom of the trail you need to pay 10 reais for the parking. There is also a simpler restaurant with restrooms.
How to get there
From Curitiba, take highway BR-277 for ca 30 km, towards Piraquara and the coast. Pass the Renault plant on your right. Take the last "retorno" right before the "pedagio". Drive ca 900 meter in direction Curitiba and then take a right on the small dirt road with the sign "Caminho Trentinho". It's basically the first road to the right. In the next T-cross, take a right. In the next crossing, follow the sign "Chacara Santa Barbara". By the next sign of the chacara, take a left. Thereafter there will be signs indicating Morro do Canal.
Below I have listed a few nice trekks which have sites with reasonable explanations.
Clube dos Aventureiros
Site in Portuguese which lists trekking trails all over Brazil, including maps and directions.
Parque estadual do Pico Paraná
This park has several mountains. The tallest is called Pico Paraná.

Crowdfunders who bought Innis and Gunn shares on Crowdcube could be in for a windfall, as company founders weigh up an offer from a US private equity firm looking to buy more than a quarter of the Edinburgh-based craft brewery.
According to a report in The Scotsman, Connecticut-based L Catterton has made an offer that values the company at around £52 million, and the brewery "said it was recommending that shareholders accept the offer."
L Catterton likes to call itself 'the world's leading consumer growth investor' and is proud of its association with LVMH, the global luxury goods brand, including Bernard Arnault himself.
The valuation is a small premium to the price (£49 million) at which the crowd bought last autumn, but the new owners will be able to position Innis and Gunn in an impressive portfolio of quality brands.
Founder and largest shareholder Dougal Sharp told Business Insider:
"The craft beer category is booming globally, and this is a hugely exciting opportunity at the right time for us to build strongly on the solid foundations that have been laid to double our 2015 turnover by 2018.
"Innovation and quality have been at the heart of Innis & Gunn's success since day one, and this continues to drive us forward.
"Aside from providing additional capital to accelerate our growth plans, we believe L Catterton will strengthen our business with unparalleled expertise in brand building and a deep understanding of global consumer markets, sharing our vision and supporting our continued expansion and growth."

Hello beautiful…
My name is Christine Miyo Camilleri – the practitioner of "Light of Re".
I originally hail from the land "downunder" – Sydney, Australia, with London being my home (well at least one of them) for the past 7 years. I first realised my love of bodywork over a decade ago when I undertook advanced training in Remedial Massage. Soon afterwards, I began exploring beyond the physical, which eventually saw me graduating as a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist as well.
My intuition then led me to explore the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. I enrolled in a self-care workshop and this turned out to be a real game changer. I left feeling inspired and empowered, yet at the same time pretty mad that as an educated woman I didn't know certain things about my body, questioning why I wasn't taught this at school!
It became very clear that I both wanted and needed to be of service to women; and went on to become a Certified Arvigo® Practitioner (including Arvigo® Spiritual Healing) and a Fertility Awareness Educator.
You can say that I'm very passionate about empowering women. Integral to this is supporting us to reconnect with our bodies and cycles. Not only so we can make informed choices about our reproductive and sexual health but to realise our own innate power and wisdom!
My treatments are bespoke, honouring that each and everyone of us is a unique individual. I blend all the various techniques I've learnt over the years and work holistically – meaning that I work with all aspects of you – the physical, emotional and spiritual. I only use organic oils and products to ensure you don't get any nasty chemicals into your body.
Aside from that, I love being out in mother nature – exploring as much of the world as possible together with my sweetheart. Oh, and I do love me some laughter – it really is the best medicine!
Blessed be.

I realize how hard it must be for those who live in fear. Most people are over afraid of that spark: courage, which smoulders in every human being. But few dare to blow the ashes away and kindle the only thing which destroys fear. The rest of the cowardly lot whimper and shrink until they reach their imagined heaven.
A few questions I am usually asked:
"Why are you on the road with your kid?" Because I am not a mediocre human ox, because I like fresh air and a change of scenery and mainly because I like to go away from petty slaves, slave-drivers, and spiritual shysters.
"How do you manage to get by?" Where I can't get by, I cheerfully float around, giving the snare a wide berth.
Don't you get tired travelling so much?" Yes, I am getting tired from stupid questions more than from anything else.
"Don't you go through hell with a kid on the road?" Yes, but I manage it, and to watch her dance is a pleasure.
A few more stupid questions: ...."Are you going to vote for Hoover?" Why, no, I am going to vote for Nero.
"Do you not think, we have reached the bottom of this depression?" No, not quite, but capitalism is slowly and surely collapsing.
"Do you think that a new administration will restore good times again?" Yes, for human insects.
"Does not your kid need a kindergarten?" Why no,
not at all. She is already going to college. .
Liberia, La., Oct. 1932.—Having dwindled into a mere spectator, I can now lean on my oars, gaze wistfully before me and float like a phantom. One sees through everything, when one is no longer a slave to anything. Therefor a fourth dimension's distance then and there spreads a gorgeous panorama, free from man. Alone and content to be so. Even those are heavy who long to fly from themselves. He who roams, reflects, and best of all, he learns to be silent, providing the free spirit is maturing him.
Company: I have had my little daughter, Miriam, wivh me for the last fourteen months. She is now four years old—a healthy, cheerful little bird. We have roamed through most states in the Union and we are forever drifting into fresh channels. She is alert and she senses people quicker than I can manage at my best. I have decided that there shall be no alien influence in her plastic years. Many hands were stretched out offering her a home, but I knew that her sprouting wings would be clipped, and that should not be. For her there is only one home, and that is wherever we are together, regardless, under what circumstances. Let her sup in the love of freedom. A fig, for all smug security and another one in the face of obstacles. We wander without money and that is not to be sneered at. It often takes the full speed of my wits to manage things. We have hitch-hiked about eighteen thousand miles in the last five months.
HOBOES: I have chatted with many hoboes on the open road—hungry fellows, badly in need of food and clothes, but more so in need of the light which understanding brings. They have merely grasped the fringes of mankind's plight, and are in the thrall of proclivities, in spite of abounding time to observe, and to connect the Why, and the Wherefor. Most of them are sluggish brutes, and it will take a long time for the master's whip to penetrate and to sting properly. For a steaming plate of pork-and-beans fills them up and they snore soon after. A slave who is not a rebel, is a snail doomed to be stepped on and crushed. Once a slave. rebels, he reaches upwards. I am doing all I can to enlighten them when we meet. Light is net denied those who climb. Let those who submit, crawl in the mire. A bone is the goal of a dim" shrivelled soul. They should at least be fed and clothed properly—they are harmless and there is more than enough, why torture them? But a leech must suck and swell until is bursts. The class-conscious worker stands up and demands. I like the spirit which inspires him with courage. Well, lone eagles do not roam in packs.
RICHMOND, TEXAS, Main Street. A greater caricature man could not have created out of waste matter for the amusement of the Satirist: Bible spiders, pick-pockets, fake healers, fortune-tellers, and crooks* Main Street is the market place of the nation's spiritual poverty. It surely is a veritable paradise for nocturnal creatures. Woe to him that haggles here for a living in this twilight-world of buzzards. Main Street lingers in the memory like a mocking imp 'til laughter relieves loathing. Only he who can dance through the mire without getting filthy, should venture here. It is a coiled cobra at night, and a shark in broad daylight. It should be fenced in with barbed-wire. Visualize the rest according to your methods of extermination. No conscience and scruples are needed here.
HOTELS: We have slept in various places. Yes, there is much poverty, dirt and ignorance in this world.
RESTAURANTS: How can mankind be well, when it consumes so much garbage?
BOX CARS: Have you ever travelled in that royal push-car of the down-trodden? How it shakes, dreams into oblivion, how it drains the energy of the hopeful one. One surely rides to the dumping ground in this infernal contraption of modern transportation, unless you are very robust. You will do well not to ride in it too often. I saw many young boys wrestling for dear life with this octopus. Hunger, dirt, weariness, loneliness, and worst of it all, they are going nowhere. Lost, dispaired, branded for life with ugliness, bespattered with scum! Have you ever been to the bottom and seen a few things?
VICTORIA, TEPCAS. Best I like the silent man on the road. Like a ghost he passes, and soon he vanishes; a glance his greeting, and a smile his farewell. His is a kindred soul. I gather the chrystalized thoughts which he scatters on desolate roads. He smiles to me like a tender child and I know his infinite patience, his love which only death will singe. Such a man is not a victim, but a victor. How I wish there were many more like him. There are few, far too few to spread warmth over the bare and dismal roads —devoid of thinking man.
ECCENTRIC TRAMPS. Now and then I meet and talk to a solitary eccentric individual, a forlorn and forever homeless man, near or over the half century mark. He is like grape juice turned to vinegar. He shrivelled before he ripened. I console him as though I were his older brother and as if I knew what he fears most. He fears to die like an animal on the open road or starve to death like a hounded beast in its cave. One such fellow carried a tool box with him. He sharpens knives and scissors. Between little jobs he eats little and seldom at that. With him he carried Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." He was a German without a trace of the goose-step within him. "I know," he said, "that I am lost—still Heinrich Heine should have taken a longer walk and Wolfgang Goethe (he then smiled significantly) that man should have taken a good walk too. Every thinker should go over the road for a few years, at least. As for myself," he continued, "I have staid on the road a good few years too many." And now he can't get off the road, 60 that his freedom has turned into oppression. 4iI am its slave and I lost my friend. Good day, and do not feed vultures." I felt his woe, my eyes were moist and Miriam tried to cheer me up that day.
CITY PARKS AND PUBLIC SQUARES. Now and then we take a day off and loaf—a flve-cent bag of roasted peanuts and squirrels keeping Miriam busy, while I look over the human wrecks; each one a cracked vase, seldom a well-balanced one. However, I had my surprise in Mobile, Alabama. A young fellow in corduroy pants walked up to me and without preliminaries introduced himself as Nietzsche's monkey.
Well, he was keen-witted and soon we were busy dissecting Leonardo da Vinci and afterwards we were playfully pummeling a few modern writers, (he calls them cheap punks.) I was minus a quarter when we parted, but it was a good race while it lasted.
ON THE BEACH AT MIAMI, FLORIDA. A fellow accosted me pretendedly for a match, actually for a discussion. This lasted a whole day. He was a bit too tense for me, otherwise I liked him very much, although his fruit grew on the north side of the tree. It was edible, anyhow, even if not luscious. He has yet to learn how to support the heavy limbs with laughter, lest they break.
A RTJBBER-NECK DYSPEPTIC. Here is a fellow who is miserable between horse-shoe games. He comes up to me and wants to know point-blank, whereto I am travelling. "Oh, my dear fellow, that is a question which only concerns me, but, if you insist, I am on my way to Jerusalem. Yes, sir, I am leaving this country." "Her mama, is she dead?" he questioned. "Well, there you are again. Now, she is not dead, but in China, waiting for irie. We are to meet there to enjoy a good plate of rice." "Is that so, well I'll be darn—folks surely travel now-a-days." "Yep," I said, "they sure do. Well, so long, and good hick to you. Good day, sir!"
DUST. In the shade of a tree I saw a bundle of rags. On closer inspection I found a remnant of what was once a man; a grimy traveler with one eye—his shoes wide open all over. A layer of dirt served him as clean linen, socks he wore none and had none. He was muching a piece of white bread, the crust was a dirty brown. "Look here, brother, I have a thermos bottle full of hot coffee. Will you have some?" "Will I, son, just pour some out for me." I did, a first, second and third cup. "Are you long on the road?" I asked him. "Yes my lad, since I remember myself. Why? I wanted to know. "Ah," he said, "I don't want to lie to you. I did not think I was much good for anything else, and so it went up to now." "Well, good day, Old Timer." "Good luck, my lad, and thank you."
CHAINS: There have been tense months in my young life. Times in which I longed to roam and yet could not be free. I take good care to remove or avoid all approaching obstacles, so that the road will be open hensceforth. Yes, to anchor for a while, now and then, and leave the harbor whenever stale odors invade it. I shall conclude with the remark that there are kind people and lots of people who mean well, but do not know how. And you can even find a profound man though you may have to travel from one end of the country to the next and that this is not the worst world for a gadfly to live in. If you do not think so, please, let me know why.
COMING AND GOING. As I travel about in search of a place where to settle and rest I find that where it is favorable I cannot stop more than a night and at the most a day or two for they are continually busy keeping the door bolted against hunger. My friends are hard-pressed or would they be my comrades were it otherwise? Every morsel of food given to me and my child is a noble sacrifice. How can I then stay much longer? Therefor always the farewell handshake, forever relieving them in their barracks where they are fighting tooth and nail against this monster which is clawing away at the breast and throat of mankind in its frantic effort to exist. This money system against which we must all of us prepare a grave, is dying.
MY SONG ON THE ROAD. I see a car coming. We get out of the way. The next thing we pray that he gives us a ride because it is getting late and we are weary. At last we reach town, but now what shall we eat. In this cursed system, Chow dogs are fed and bathed, but our share is rotting away on the fields or in warehouses, or is wasted in other ways. We don't know a soul in this town and where shall we sleep?
What a song if I may say so myself.

Thank you for a super weekend, having never been to the event I was very impressed. Very good selection of vehicles, thanks to the owners for bringing them far and wide for us to enjoy. Negatives - only one, the cost of the programme and vehicle supplement was high, £12 for two booklets. Highlights - Good to see a mix of new and old vehicles, the London dart was great, but a tad too small for the routes it was allocated, I had to stand. Southdown National was brilliant and well driven as was the Merseybus Olympian coming out of Cowes with a good load up the big hill.

Hello Scott
Thank you for your email and kind comments.
We are sorry you paid £12 for your programme and supplement. You should have only paid £10. The supplements were discounted to £4 on production of a programme.
We thought that the event was really excellent this year, especially the new boarding arrangement at Newport Harbour and the lady announcing bus departures at the museum in Ryde should get a special mention - she was brilliant with her banter and efficiency. Tony Guyett

Great weekend, with my sister who lives in Ventnor. Some pubs rather expensive, some not much idea how to keep & serve real ale, others a joy to visit - most for the first time. Best idea of the weekend was getting rover tickets so we could use the service buses if the old'uns were not available, and getting home in the evening.

It has been my second year of this and yet again it exceeded my expectations. The layout for loading buses in Newport was the much better.
I make it a social weekend with friends who all enjoyed the time as well. We are all looking forward to next year.
Thank you and the drivers for an excellent weekend.

This the second year I have done this and this year it was evident that there wasn't enough space on the buses/buses running. May I suggest that entry on the buses is by programme only - £6 for weekend's bus travel is still very good value - so as to give the people which did buy programmes the opportunity to get on a bus.
Gary Tewkesbury
Hello Gary,
Thank you for your suggestion. However, as much as we would like to restrict travelling on the buses to those who have bought a programme, it would be illegal under current Ministry of Transport legislation. Put simply, we cannot charge for travelling on the buses; this includes selling tickets or wristbands or the compulsory carrying of programmes.
We just have to rely on the goodwill of those who bought a programme - to whom we are very grateful!
Very good event but constructive criticism The lack of a queuing system at the bus museum meant that things there were very chaotic which resulted in buses leaving almost empty as folk couldn't get to the front as there were too many other people waiting for other services. would suggest that you put in place a similar system that was in place at Newport, it worked brilliantly!!!! Overall very enjoyable.
Richard Morrison
Hi Richard - thanks for your constructive feedback.
We are going to implement some form of the queuing system as used at Newport for Ryde next year, we've already been working on a plan whilst it's fresh in our minds.
We came over from Germany to enjoy the Island and the festival. Great idea, looking forward to coming back again.

A huge thank you to EVERYONE involved in any way with this fantastic event !
Being a lover of buses, character pubs and the Isle of Wight - I was so warmly anticipating this event for a long time beforehand. However I am still amazed by the superb organisation, hard work of all concerned and the utterly genuinely friendly and convivial feel of the whole event - so befitting of the Isle of Wight and its people.
I have a rich collection of treasured memories from this great event but probably the two which stand out as unexpected and unplanned gems are
1) being aboard A686MWX climbing out of Ventnor towards Shanklin at 1850 on Saturday in the dark and with a brilliant and merry group aboard,
2) the joyful atmosphere in The Fleming Arms, Binstead on Sunday afternoon - the lovely band playing, charming beer festival and dedicated staff.
There were so very many more too which I hope to add to next year ! So many thanks to all concerned !

Just wanted to say what an absolutely fabulous weekend its been again, and to say thank you very much for all the hard work youve put into organising it.
This was the first time I had visited this event, and I was blown away by the scale and complexity of it. Having read of 70+ vehicles last year, I thought I should try coming over this year, and the weather forecast (and my advance purchase programme) was the final decider.
I was just over on Saturday, and didn't really travel that far (Bembridge, Newport, Seaview) but it was an amazing selection of vehicles and surprisingly easy to get a seat on the older stuff (WKJ787 and EGO426 being personal highlights). The organisation that goes into this event must be colossal, huge thanks to everyone involved.
The only things that would improve it for me would be to get the vehicle supplement in advance - I spent most of my Bembridge trip trying to plan the rest of my day and hence missing the scenery!
Martin Smith
In order to make the Vehicle Supplement as acurate as possible, we have to leave printing to the last minute.
Thank you for your prompt reply to my enquiry regarding taking dogs on the buses. We were welcomed on every bus we travelled on - with smiles & cheeriness!
What a brilliant, very well organised event. We spoke to many people - Islanders & holiday makers who all said the same as us. So, please pass on our thanks to all of the volunteers/helpers/drivers who took part. We shall certainly be taking part next year - looking forward to it already!!
King regards - Dawn & Paul Clive & not forgetting Jodie the dog too.
Just wanted to say what an absolutely fabulous weekend its been again, and to say thank you very much for all the hard work youve put into organising it.
Ive worked in the bus industry for 38 years and know exactly the volume and complexity of what youre doing every year, and it has been excellent again.
Quick question: is it the same weekend next year please?
Kindest regards
David Shadbolt
We have now confirmed next year's dates which are Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th October 2018.
Brilliant organisers, especially at Newport Marquee - and the very loud young female (star of the weekend) organising the passengers at Ryde. And finding a replacement bus, I was on the flat tyre bus at St Helens late Sunday afternoon.
Suggestion, re-position the Newport Marquee - so we all get a good view of all of the buses, and so that we only queue under the Marquee when it is raining.
Suggestion, mix up the buses, so that single deckers and double deckers are on all routes.
Suggestion, more capacity needed on routes to/from Ventnor, and on Ryde to/from Shanklin. Seemed to be too many buses, and fairly empty, for Newport-Ryde.
Bus supplement did not have enough "non bus" info - needed to slightly more highlight the age of the buses, and whether single deck/double deck/open-top.
What are the dates for 2018?
David Erridge
Thank you for your suggestions, David. We will take them into consideration when planning next year's event.
(dates TBC - see above)
How many people used the weekend as a free bus ride around the Island and deprived real ale enthusiasts of a seat?

Observed the day is being used as a "free pub crawl" by many with no bus interest...

Just a quick note to say what a triumphant event the Beer and Buses weekender was.
The Isle of Wight Beer and Buses weekender brought all manner of people together for a madcap few days of vintage travel, fine real ales and good local food. It was so much fun and a fine example of a gloriously British escapade. We are definitely all aboard next year!
This is such an asset to our calendar, I really think this could be an international event! Big well done to all those involved.

Excellent event and very well organised. Loved the new method of queuing on the quay at Newport, made it so much easier to get the right bus.
The Culver Haven Inn was our favourite pub, very welcoming, great service even when a bus arrived and 60 people descended on the pub the queue was dealt with quickly and with a big smile. The Sunday Roast was also excellent. One comment I would make is:- don't put on one of the oldest buses on the very first Newport to Ryde service of the day, most people on the first departure were going to Ryde to connect with other routes. It was great to ride on CAP 229, but it struggled to get up the hills and consequently arrived nearly 15 minutes late into Ryde which then made onward journeys very challenging.
Overall a fantastic event and we are already looking forward to 2018.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Just a few lines to thank all concerned in making the rally truly enjoyable. We attended with our bus (GJW43N) & it was a pleasure that our 33 passengers thoroughly enjoyed. Please convey our sincere thanks to all in making the event run so smoothly.
Best Regards
Tony & Pam Reekie + GJW43N
A great event - and a lot of co-ordination with so many buses.
The timetabling was a little optimistic with buses running 30 minutes late on some routes - very dull on busy main roads
It was also a shame that there was only a bus every hour from Shanklin to Ryde (especially when the incoming bus is late). Half hourly, travelling via culver haven , would have been better.
Was there a reason why Freshwater was cut off? I know there were roadwork's.
Ventnor rugby club a real discovery - not contender for favourite pub but definitely the best beer!
Favorite Pub - Joes Bar / Culver haven tied, Chine close second
Stephen Blann
The simple answer to your questions Stephen, is "logistics" - We simply do not have enough vintage buses that can make the climb up to Culver Haven or nimble enough to navigate the Freshwater back roads that would be necesary to get the pubs.
4th beer and buses and better every year, although more people. Having a 'fast' and 'slow' X was a little confusing, is there a spare letter? Glad to see more pubs/businesses taking it seriously, also drinkers in period costume etc.
Favorite Pub - Three Bishops

Another excellent weekend. The queuing system worked well, however being inside the marquee meant it was impossible to see the buses while queuing. Any chance of stopping at the Stag in Lake next year? True the pub's not a Real Ale pub, but I was staying with a friend in Lake and it would be much more convenient than having to get to and from Shanklin each day.

Thank you for your suggestions Matthew. We will take them in to consideration next year

Good morning Tim - firstly, thankyou for your prompt reply to my enquiry regarding taking dogs on the buses. We were welcomed on every bus we travelled on - with smiles & cheeriness! What a brilliant, very well organised event. We spoke to many people - Islanders & holiday makers who all said the same as us. So, please pass on our thanks to all of the volunteers/helpers/drivers who took part. We shall certainly be taking part next year - looking forward to it already!!
Kind regards - Dawn & Paul Clive & not forgetting Jodie the dog too.

Comments - Fantastic event. Very well organised, proud of the Isle of Wight! A must for next year. Cheers
Favorite Pub - All good

It seemed more organised than last year and we hardly had to queue at all in Ryde bus museum (although this was Sun c.11am and last year Sat). The extra - porta - loos in Ryde were noted and appreciated, but a bit conspicuous for women I think - right where all the buses were dropping off - could they go round the corner next time? All the drivers and stewards were very friendly and helpful. Our (Kent) visitors and we all really enjoyed it, thanks very much. Great advert for the island!
Favorite Pub - The Volunteer in Ventnor's new owners coped manfully with the massive influx; also the Royal British Legion in Ventnor had a BBQ on the go which provided some much-needed sustenance to soak up the beer! ;o)
Sally Brushfield
A minor criticism (except for those waiting there) - the 14.40 Sunday route J from Newport went straight past Whitwell Church without stopping even though there were about 6 people waiting there and plenty of seats, made worse by the 14.10 being full.
Favorite Pub - Traveller's Joy
Stuart George
Apologies to those effected
Wonderfully organised - great enthusiasm on part of drivers and vehicle owners. A really creditable process of organisation - a very enjoyable day

A highly recruited athlete, Erik Turner played 4 years with the nationally ranked Cornell University, where as a member of the Big Red he won three Ivy League titles, made 3 NCAA tournament appearances, and one Final Four Appearance.
Erik began playing lacrosse at the age of 12 through the influence of his younger brother. As a multi-sport athlete, Erik was immediately passionate about lacrosse because of the dynamic nature of the sport. Erik loves to share this passion for lacrosse with younger athletes while helping them form their own positive relationship with lacrosse.
Erik has a strong background in box lacrosse. After playing for the minor box lacrosse club in his hometown of St. Albert, Alberta, he was selected first overall in the RMLL Jr. A draft. Following a strong junior career where he amassed 273 total points in 70 games played, he was selected fourth overall by the Edmonton Warriors in the 2015 RMLL senior draft. In 45 games of senior lacrosse he has scored 195 total points. Erik has competed in elite box tournaments across the world. These tournaments include the Presidents Cup, LASNAI, Sin City Box Classic, and the Ales Hrebesky Memorial where he won a tournament championship in 2016.
His field lacrosse career has taken him to a variety of different places. From the ninth grade Erik identified that he wanted to play lacrosse in the NCAA. In order to afford himself the best opportunity to achieve this goal he attended three high school lacrosse academies. He went to Vimy Ridge Academy, The Hill Academy, and St. Francis Xavier Academy for grades 10, 11, and 12 respectively. Each academy gave him the opportunity to play with some of the best players in his age group, and also be exposed to some of the best coaches in the country. In grade 12, Erik was invited to participate in the Adrenaline All-American game, which showcases some of the best high school players in North America.
Erik began his coaching career when he was 16. After graduation from Cornell he obtained a personal training certification in order to further assist players in developing their athletic abilities. Erik has coached for a variety of local organizations and clubs including the GELC, Rams, Wizards, Titans, Rebels, Rams, Raiders, Posse, Warriors, Rock, Crush, Blues, and Razorbacks. He is very passionate about helping young athletes develop as athletes and people. Erik believes that sport is a great tool for creating good behaviours and habits.
Erik brings a wealth of knowledge about the game as well as the NCAA recruiting process, and is very excited to bring his experience and connections to help lacrosse players reach whatever level of play they wish to achieve.

With the recent news in the UK that over 3,000 straight 'A' students will be turned away from their chosen universities, one 'A' student is rather celebrating a victory in the world of business.
Jared Marcus Wright, who appeared on his school's 'A' honour roll list, has also attained his first leadership level, that of Regional Director, in a well established natural food supplement company. And Jared is only five years old! He graduated recently in fine style from kindergarten and his 'A' achievement, coupled with his business achievements are cause for double celebration.
Jared told Mannatech's Leadership in Action magazine: "My aunty enrolled me in Mannatech. I am so happy that I am a Mannatech toddler because by the time I grow up there might not be many jobs around. It feels great to be a Regional Director already. I also graduated from kindergarten recently and I was on the 'A' honour roll list. I guess all this means I am famous. When I grow up I want to be a Platinum Presidential Director and then I will be really, really famous! Thank you Aunty Joy and Uncle Roy and Aunty Cynthia and everybody at Mannatech."
In today's economic climate, this is not merely a cute story. Whether he realizes it or not, Jared has joined the ranks of financially literate business owners who have money working for them instead of them working for money or merely exchanging their time for money.
Robert Kiyosaki expands on this and other ideas in his book, 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'. In his money quadrant theory, Kiyosaki highlights the difference between owning a job (self employment) and owning a business, which gives the business owner the leverage to invest in order to create further wealth.
University students, and people at any stage in their working career, would do well to pay attention to these ideas. Straight 'A's are great, but the truth is that one can no longer depend on the efficient working of the old paradigm of achieving qualifications in order to guarantee a good job for life.
One would do much better to take a page out of the book of such people as Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and other business owners who are aware of the financial education that is seldom taught in schools and universities.
By the time he is actually old enough to appreciate the strength of his position as an associate and leader in his own business, it is likely that Jared's business will be turning over enough so that if his 'A' academic record continues he will neither struggle financially through university, but neither will he be dependent solely on those 'A's to take him, if he's one of the lucky ones, to the next stage in an uncertain career.

|When a vowel comes before the letter 'r', it has a sound different from short or long vowel sound. For example, 'a' in 'ant' has a short sound, 'a' in 'frame' has a long sound, but 'a' in 'farm' has a sound that is neither short nor long.
Other examples of r-controlled vowel sounds are in words such as barn, yarn, soccer, fern, bird, shirt, nurse, fork, short, etc.
Directions: Fill in the r-controlled vowel or the letter pair ar, er, or, ir, ur for the following words. Say the word aloud and observe the sound of the vowel. Use a dictionary to find the meanings of these words and use the words in sentences. Write five more examples of words with r-controlled vowel sounds.

I'm brand new to this website.
This just happened and I wanted some info
I was dreaming I was almost asleep in my bed. I then started to get that AP feeling when I realized I was lucid dreaming. I started to focus on that feeling and the sky. Here is where it gets a lil weird. Right when I was about to take off, my kitty jumped and stayed on top of me as to stop me from leaving. In real life he never just does that. Am I just dreaming or is there something there? Any input would be great as I'm not good at either yet. Thanks

Re: lucid to astral safe and real or not?
Sounds like you began a WILD! Read the articles on this site for more info on that the best advice I would have is go with it, though this is hard the first few times as it's a very odd feeling. 'Going with the flow' and relaxing is the best way to start a lucid dream from here. As much as it might feel like it, you aren't going anywhere other than inside your own head, so don't panic and enjoy the experience.
Dreaming is my drug

Hello everyone! Everyone's heard of the Great Barrier Reef, but how many of you have heard of Ningaloo? Not many, I'm sure. Let me tell you, it's one of Australia's best-kept secrets.
Ningaloo Fringing Reef
- Only a few yards off shore, you can wade on in. Waddle your flippers to the water and swim right out. There's a reason it's called a fringing reef, and not a barrier reef!
- Exotic marine life- Whale sharks arrive between March and July, these massive gentle creatures love to swim with people. Keeping in mind, they aren't actual sharks- rather the world's largest fish, at up to 40 feet long! Between June and November watch humpback whales and see rare turtle species hatch on guided, eco-interactive trails in January and February.
- Grab your snorkel and swim through coral lagoons and gardens in calm, protected Coral bay. Meet graceful manta rays, dolphins, and brightly colored fish. Amateurs have just as good an experience as certified SCUBA divers.
- Big skies and adventures. It's the shoreline and the red desert Outback that makes Australia famous. Explore two ecosystems in one! From four-wheeling to camping amongst mangroves, there's plenty to do on land and in the sand.
- Name- it's pretty cool, eh?
- It's a bit far. Ningaloo is off the West Coast of Australia; so let a professional work out the logistics for you.
- Infrastructure. Hotels, flights and tour operators are limited so book early, especially during Whale Shark season
Great Barrier Reef
- It's a living masterpiece! One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Barrier Reef is 1000 miles long and is so big, it can be seen from outer space.
- Infrastructure. A plethora of options for flights, hotels and tour operators to suit every budget and style.
- You can smell the rainforest in the air. The shoreline has some of the oldest in the world. The Daintree, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is twice as old as the dinosaurs!
- Sailing. With wind in your sails, venture from Port Douglas for Low Isles, a secluded jewel discovered by Captain Cook in 1770. Or charter a boat from Hamilton Island or Airlie Beach and coast through the turquoise water of the Whitsundays.

- Tourists. 1.6 million people visit per year. The boats are mostly large people-movers. To get an individual, personalized, unique experience is hard to come by.
- Distance from shore. The reef is about 1.5 to 2 hours away- in one direction, and that's on a high-speed catamaran. Unfortunately, you can't see the reef while wading off the beach. It's called a barrier reef for a reason.
A Clownfish in a Sea Anemone Image: Tourism Queensland
Wherever you go, do it soon. Scientists predict that 95% of the corals living on the Great Barrier Reef will be dead by 2050 and Ningaloo's estimates are similar. Once the corals go, so do the fish and other marine life. It takes only one-degree temperature increase to kill coral and the oceans are only getting warmer, no matter how you look at them.

MJR> Both from Latin "vendere", which was usually encountered in CL via its MJR> passive form "venire". RB> I'm not sure what you mean by 'usually encountered in CL via its passive RB> form "venire"'. I misinterpreted a statement in my dictionary. Under vendo, I *thought* it said "usually passive veneo, q.v.", but it really just said "passive usually veneo, q.v.", which is a completely different story. Sigh. RB> In any case, I think it'd be helpful to make it clear that RB> the 'passive' you are speaking about is 'vēnīre' (to be sold) with long-e RB> in the first syllable, and not the far more common 'venīre' (to come) with RB> short-e in the first syllable. Yes, indeed, I should have made that clear, since "venire" has survived into the Romance languages and is therefore much more familiar to most folks. MJR> Classical Latin had four verb conjugations, seem to have collapsed to MJR> fewer in the Romance languages. RB> In Iberian Romance, yes - elsewhere, no. Yup, here we have another case of Marcos not knowing what he was talking about, which I admitted in an earlier message. :) RB> The Classical system is, more precisely: RB> RB> 1a. -āre long-a stems (nearly all traditional 1st conjugation) RB> 1b. -are short-a stems (stare, dare) RB> 2a. -ēre long-e stems (the traditional 2nd conjugation) RB> 2b. -ere short-e stems (the traditional 3rd conj. of the 'mitto, RB> 3a. -īre long-i stems (the traditional 4th conjugation) RB> 3b. -ere short-i stems (the tradition 3rd conj. of the RB> 'capio, capere' type) Interesting way of breaking it down. RB> What has made the picture confusing in French, Italian and Romanian is RB> that quite clearly there was much confusion Ah, so it was the confusion that confused things? That *is* clear. ;-) RB> In fact the development from VL to the modern RB> Romance verb groupings is a complicated matter, way beyond the scope of a RB> single email. There was a great deal of confusion, as endings weakened, RB> more irregularities created by phonetic developments and subsequent RB> ironing out of irregularities by analogical remodelling, i.e. real RB> natlangs behaving like real natlangs :) Right. Weird stuff. About which I obviously know a great deal less than other folks on here, so I'll just shut up and go back to reading my copy of Penny's _History_of_the_Spanish_Language_. :) -Marcos

Rees-mogg hits back at Anna Soubry claims over Brexiteers 'infiltrating' Conservatives
Rees-mogg is the Member of Parliament for North East Somerset since the general election of 2010
HARDLINE Remainer Anna Soubry has been ridiculed after she claimed that the Conservative Party has been "infiltrated" by Brexit supporters. The pro-EU MP who has opposed party policy to support the historic referendum vote to leave the EU in 2016 has found herself in a small minority in the Tory party.
But Ms Soubry has hit out claiming that Leavers have infiltrated the Tories and suggested they should not be allowed to stay in the party.
But senior Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg pointed out it in an apparent reference to Ms Soubry, who reportedly joined the SDP before it merged with the Liberals to form the the pro-EU Lib Dems, that the Tories have welcomed converts from other parties.
Defending the surge in membership from former Ukip members, he said: "The Tory party has often welcomed converts from other parties, even one or two who flirted with or even joined the SDP.
"This is not infiltration but the normal flow of political opinion."
Former Ukip candidate George Eustice is currently a Tory MP and minister for fishing.
In her outburst Ms Soubry Tory former said that party chairman Brandon Lewis needed to act.
She said: "We are on a membership drive at the same time as the likes of (Arron) Banks are urging members of Ukip and other hard Brexiteers to join our party to topple the leader and destroy Government policy.
"I've called on the party chairman to end the membership drive until we can be confident we are not being infiltrated by people who are not Conservatives."
The original claims that Ukip members were infiltrating the Tories came from ex-justice minister Phillip lee after the Daily Express revealed that most of the party's members in Dagenham had switched to the Conservatives.
Peter Harris, the former Ukip Dagenham candidate and London organiser, told the Daily Express that joining the Conservatives was the best way to ensure Brexit.
He said: "I no longer believe Ukip is the way to achieve that and I now believe that joining the Conservative Party and like minded people within it we will be able to achieve more because after all the Conservative Party are in Government."
Former Tory minister Robert Halfon described Ms Soubry's intervention as "bonkers" on Twitter yesterday.
He said her view amounted to saying that "if any of the 17million who voted for Brexit join the Tories that is somehow infiltration."
He added: "If the Soubrites are so worried and have so much support then let them get hundreds of activists who have their point of view to join.
"I wouldn't mind - the more members the merrier."
Another Tory MP said: "We seem to have allowed a lot of people to join up who used to be in Left-wing parties.
"Chris Grayling and Greg Clark were in the SDP and Liz Truss was a Lib Dem - they are all the Cabinet. Rehman Chisti, who is a minister, has been a Labour candidate.
"Perhaps it doesn't matter if you've previously been in a Left-wing party."
Theresa May spoke out about the Tory membership row earlier this week
Former Ukip donor Arron Banks, who was blocked from joining the Tories earlier this month, said yesterday: "I was a Tory member and donor up until 2013 - I left over the referendum.
"For the party chairman Brandon Lewis to pick and choose the members they like seems a dangerous path. Many might think I'm more Conservative than Anna Soubry."
A leaked memo from Conservative Campaign HQ yesterday revealed that local Tory organiser have been put on alert to scrutinise potential new members.
The memo, from the party's head of membership Natalie Crosby-Jones urged local officers to refuse membership to people "whose declared opinions or conduct shall, in their judgement, be inconsistent with the objects or financial well-being of the association or likely to bring the party into disrepute."
Theresa May spoke out about the Tory membership row earlier this week when she was questioned about the issue during her visit to Africa.
"My understanding is Aron Banks membership has not been accepted - because he is somebody who has actively campaign against the Conservative Party," the Prime Minister said.
"What we have seen in the party over the last few months since the beginning of the year, is we have been working to increase in our membership and seen a steady increase.
"What we have been doing, we have been doing it since beginning of year is working to increase membership and seen a steady increase."

It is never a wise idea to dive into the world of auto repairs without any prior knowledge. Try not to get off on the wrong path at the outset, but rather learn everything possible by reviewing the information that follows. You will be surprised at what you learn.
Keeping a good battery charger in your vehicle is always a wise choice to avoid being stranded. Dead batteries are a common occurrence and you'd be able to aid other drivers who have broken down. Know where the cables should be connected and how. It is sometimes different for different cars.
Know what your costs will be before handing your keys over to the mechanic. If a certain cost confuses you, don't hesitate to clear this up with the mechanic before allowing him or her to make repairs to your vehicle. You don't want to be shocked by a huge bill to pay.
You do not have to contact a mechanic every time your car has problems. You can fix some things easily. Research into auto repair online may help you identify the problem. If it is a basic issue, attending to the repair yourself could save a considerable amount of money.
Be sure to wash your car often so as to prevent rust. Although all cars rust at some point in time, it is possible to delay this from occurring by washing off salt and chemicals immediately. Protect your paint with regular waxing.
Look for online body shop reviews for any business you're thinking of patronizing. The Internet is a great resource to find out how people really feel about a certain garage. Use this information to choose a shop that you're comfortable with giving money to.
Make use of these tips as you get ready for the next auto repair. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed or spend more money than you have to, simply because you have a lack of knowledge. Take charge of your car repairs, understand the options, and come out on top by making the best deal possible.

…our first 75 edible blue honeysuckles in 2006; in 2008 we added 1,000 U of SK haskap plants. Our orchard currently contains 2,617 plants including: HASKAP (U of SK) – Borealis, Tundra, Indigo Gem, Indigo Yum, Honey Bee, Aurora; HONEYBERRIES – Berry Blue, Blue Velvet OP crosses, and EASTERN HEMISPHERE ANCESTRY OP SELECTIONS – Amfora, Dimzas, Fialka, Leningradski Velikan, Kitoy, Morena, Nymfa. We also have a few of OUR OWN OP EBH NON-VARIETALS.
We were a part of the development of Haskap Canada from its first organizational meeting. Our goal now is to compassionately give away this exceptional fruit to the poor, the homeless, those to whom this extremely healthy food is least available.
Our orchard is chemical free in all respects, and is protected from all outside contamination. We are licensed propagators with the University of Saskatchewan and produce plants for free distribution to people who are likewise willing to openly and freely share their fruit.
This blog is simply a record of our orchard and may not apply to your orchard, plants, skills, or goals; it is certainly not meant to be a guideline by any means, but may be useful in comparing similar results in similar conditions.
