Bodmin Moor
The Jamaica Inn in Cornwall
Copyright: Maigheach-gheal License
The Jamaica Inn, Cornwall.
The Jamaica Inn, which is close to the bleak, windswept and desolate Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, has a long-standing reputation of being one of the most haunted places in England. It is a former 18th-century coaching inn that has been extended twice up until the 19th-century and was made famous by the British novelist Dame Daphne du Maurier DBE who featured it in her short story "The Birds" and her classic novel "Jamaica Inn". Jamaica Inn was built from 1750 to cater for travellers passing by.
A number of spooky foreign voices are said to have been heard by staff and guests particularly in the Smuggler's Inn, the restaurant, the stable bar and one of the guest rooms - room four which is named Harry the Pedlar. There are reports of cold spots, lights, TV's and showers suddenly coming on at night in various rooms, a vicious, malevolent highwayman who walks straight through locked doors, possibly the spirit of Jack Travellis a notorious smuggler who was put to death close by, a young anguished mother carrying a baby who stares back at you in a mirror (normally room five), and young smugglers who roam the courtyard during the night. Horses and carriages with metal rimmed wheels have also been heard moving in the cobbled courtyard but when guests look out of the window they see nothing. The courtyard is always empty.
The Jamaica Inn is home to many ghosts and spirits, and frequent sightings are claimed to be seen in the old menacing and spooky stable block where many people fear to go. The attic is not popular either! One other famous ghost is thought to be the spirit of a stranger, possible a sailor, who was murdered on Bodmin Moor and many believe that he is returning to finish his last drink in the bar. He is sometimes seen sitting on the wall outside the inn but his spirit doesn't speak or make any acknowledgement. His identity remains a mystery to this day. There are also reports of a man found hanging by his neck from a nearby tree.
The television programme Most Haunted have said that the episode they recorded at the Jamaica Inn was one of the most spookiest and scariest they have ever done.

Cheryl Tweedy is getting real about her difficult pregnancy and revealed that she "hated" the nine months before the arrival of baby Bear, who she shares with boyfriend Liam Payne.
Speaking to The Sun, the 34-year-old confessed, "(Being a parent) changes your life completely but in the most amazing way. But I've had the best six months of my life. Really. I hated being pregnant. A lot of stuff went on and I just didn't enjoy it."
The Fight For This Love hitmaker who took a break from the spotlight during her pregnancy explained, "I didn't stop for 14 years — literally on the roller coaster. And then when I got pregnant I thought, 'Right, I just don't need this stress.' So I relaxed." She welcomed her baby boy in March, 2017.
Revealing that her life as a mother has been "perfect", she told the British outlet, "It's been actually over a year but it's been perfect for me because it's reset the mind-frame. And I feel actually better coming back. I feel more relaxed, I just feel I've sat into my own skin. I feel so good."
Gushing about her boyfriend and the father of her son, she called Payne a "wonderful man". Cheryl and Liam confirmed their romance in February 2016. They were first linked the previous December after being re-acquainted at the 2015 X Factor final by fellow judge Simon Cowell who played Cupid.
The Strip That Down singer previously opened up about his son Bear and revealed that he began crying when his six-month-old son "learnt to blow raspberries". He told Melty in September, "When my son learnt to blow raspberries, he would copy you, it was funny, it's hilarious."
"I was crying with laughter in the end, it was just so funny because he kept just going 'brrrrrr'. When we couldn't do it he was like, I really wanna do it but I can't remember what that noise was, it's so funny to watch," Payne said.

We are excited to announce that the milk depot is now open at Owatonna Hospital. The opening was touching example of the power of community. Mom, Katy, donated 3,000 ounces with her first son. When her son, Artemis, was born she donated milk. When he died of SIDS at 6 months Katy continued to pump and donate her milk!
The milk depot is named after Katy's son, Artemis. Pictured with Katy are the nurses Lori and Melissa who spearheaded the Owatonna Milk Depot project.
Minnesota Women of Today donated the freezer for this location.

Without wishing to be clichéd, the kitchen really is the heart of my home. It's where I spend virtually all of my time apart from sleeping. I cook for my family, but it's also where I make my living, creating recipes and writing cookbooks.
My London flat is open-plan and not very big, but it has everything that you need. My knife rack is on the wall close at hand. I could probably cook with my eyes closed, I use it so much.
We've got high ceilings, so my Kilner jars of pickles sit on top of the cabinets. I love fermenting food, it's a great way to add crunch and sourness to dishes. My perfect kitchen has a counter looking out over the room. I like being involved in the conversation when I cook, and cooking at a counter is very social. It has a professional-style stainless-steel top that's easy to clean and can take hot pans without any worries about damaging it. It's a psychological thing. Stainless steel makes me feel like I'm back in a restaurant kitchen – it gets me into work mode.
The tiles are stylish and simple but quirky, and the dark cupboards are contemporary but functional. You pick up too many smudges with a white kitchen. I know I'd get one dirty quite quickly. Practicality wins every time for me, though I still appreciate style and I use items on display, like my jars and chopping boards, to add character and decoration. I always have a sturdy mortar and pestle – a real smasher. I think lots of cooking is still best done in a tactile way. You get better results doing, say, a pesto by hand. It's like gas hobs. Gas is really reactive and primal.
I've only recently allowed a microwave back into the kitchen. We got rid of the last one but we've just had a baby and I've relented because otherwise sterilising everything becomes a pain. He's only ten weeks, but I can see myself writing children's recipes in the future, and I'm planning to strap him to my chest and cook – whether he likes it or not. Here, I've tried to create a good-looking kitchen that's also functional. I've used the traditional chef's triangle, having a hob, fridge and sink each on a point without anything impeding your route. It's more efficient that way.
Two ovens are a luxury. It's not just about capacity, it's being able to cook different things at the optimum temperature at the same time. Grundig's Divide and Cook oven does this in one unit; it's like having a double oven in the space of a single oven. Thanks to the ceramic divider I can use the whole oven or split it into two. It also comes with a meat optimiser, so you can just set it to how you like your meat cooked. I hate wasting food, and I think we should applaud initiatives such as Grundig's Respect Food campaign, which is a commitment to reducing food waste and developing appliances to keep food fresh for as long as possible.
At home, I give myself a Ready Steady Cook challenge to clear the odd bits left in my fridge. Typically, I'll have a fridge forage on a Monday or Tuesday when I haven't got round to doing the weekly shop, so I'll make a dish from the last of the greens and gnarly bits. Broccoli and cauliflower stems often end up being thrown away, but they are actually delicious. If in doubt, add anchovies, Parmesan, bacon and/or an egg, and you've got the makings of a decent meal.
Ed Smith, is a cook and author of 'On the Side: a Sourcebook of Inspiring Dishes', and the food blog, www.rocketandsquash.com
The key accessories that bring Ed Smith's ultimate kitchen to life
My actual oven is pretty dirty because it's constantly in use. Sometimes if I've slow-cooked lamb or roasted something pungent, fats and odour can linger. I don't really want that when, immediately afterwards, I may want to bake a cake or a refined dessert. Of course, with Grundig's Divide and Cook oven, I can cook two dishes at the same time at two different temperatures with no mingling of odours. It also has a self-cleaning function, which saves me so much time and mess after I've been cooking different dishes. Grundig GEZST47000BP Divide and Cook, £899, grundig.co.uk
This kind of blue-grey has an elegant moodiness to it, which I think is more contemporary than a wooden kitchen. I'd happily paint my living room this colour, so I like the idea of taking it into my kitchen as a space I want to enjoy spending time in. Farrow & Ball "Stiffkey blue No 281", £43.50 for a 2.5l emulsion,], farrow-ball.com
The Japanese have a great history of knife-making – just think of Samurai swords. I find steel ones to be slightly thinner and lighter than European-style knives, which I think explains why Japanese knives are really popular with professional chefs over here. A good knife is essential in the kitchen, and the best are refined, reliably sharp and make endless hours of cutting and slicing a pleasure. Misono UX10 Gyuton #711 and Honesuki #741, £210 and £245, knivesforchefs.co.uk
I'm a bit of a coffee snob and this pour-over kettle is one of my geekiest gadgets. With a regular kettle, you dump all the water in at the same time and it just rushes through the grinds, but with this spout you have complete control as you pour. Hario V60 Buono Large, £55, hario.co.uk
I find most barstools rather ugly – clunky and over-designed — but do see the value of being able to eat or sit at a kitchen counter. These Swedish-made ones are very neat and timeless. Sleek stools aren't comfortable most of the time, but the cork tops on these buck the normal trend. Hem "Drifted", about £200, hem.com, hem.com
Using spun iron frying pans is an old school way of cooking — rather than having a non-stick coating, they build up a really durable patina over time as you cook with them. They are very no frills but I enjoy that. I think they've an innate style. Netherton Foundry 12in (30cm) spun iron pan, £57.50, netherton-foundry.co.uk
Pestle and mortar
I use a pestle and mortar all the time to smash up garlic or grind spices. Some things just taste better when made by hand. There is something about the flavour of a rustic, hand smashed sauce or paste that just isn't there if you use a machine to blitz the same ingredients. Granite, £42.50, souschef.co.uk
I suppose my apron is like my work uniform. It gets me into the mind-set of cooking and creating. Enrich & Endure makes really well designed aprons, with classy stylistic elements that won't go out of fashion. Plus they are made from this beautiful, tactile linen, which just feels really nice to put on. Enrich and Endure 'Hubbard', £65, enrichandendure.com

The Conscious Collection
I make bespoke Mala Bracelets and Necklaces (including Japa Malas), each piece is intuitively made, I meditate and tune in and am usually shown by my guides, an image of the mala that needs to be made for you and the beads I need to use. It is a beautiful gift.
The Malas within the conscious collection are deeply personal and very much signify where each individual soul is on the life path. You may find that your mala serves to support you for a situation you are going through or with you for life. Live a life filled with love, laughter and infuse your self-care time with empowering words and meditation. Your beautiful mala will serve as a reminder each day to live mindfully and in gratitude for all you have experience d and learned.
I use a range of semi-precious gemstones. The gemstones used are cleared of any imprints from its journey in the post and are charged under the full moon prior to its use in your mala. I use either 6mm or 8mm beads high quality beads (AA+ or AAA+). I do not add any fancy spacers as these malas are not designed to be a fashion statement but rather a tool to aid your meditation, healing and gratitude practice. Each mala is completed by sealing the circle with a tassel, bead or pendant.
Creating your mala:
I create each mala within sacred space, I meditate and ground myself and light a candle to thank the universe for all my blessings and once I have connected with my guides and higher beings of light I begin to infuse a powerful mantra into each bead and knot which becomes your intention going forward, I repeat this 108 times. In the Buddhist tradition, each 108 beads represent the number of worldly desires or negative emotions that must be overcome before attaining Nirvana. We are simply going to use it to count prayers and as a tool for our own personal manifestation process and gratitude practice. I place an intention for the mala once it is complete and allow it some time to rest to integrate the intention. I smudge and empower each mala with Reiki and ask the beings of light to allow these to work for your highest and greatest good.
Please see the Maae FB page for further details and latest commissions.

Bracelets: £25
childrens bracelet: £15

Knowing about local authors and buying their books will support the writing community near home and may also give you an advantage in finding someone to visit or Skype with your club.
A local independent bookstore is also likely to know who is writing excellent books within your community.

The women will lose the services, leadership and championship points of four graduated runners in All-American Heather Wilson, Kim Partee, Laura Mortimer and Katie Moravec, all whom contributed tremendously to the strength of the program during their four years. Replacing the points from those who have left the program will be extremely difficult but the team will still strive for excellence heading into the Championships.
All-American Elise Tropiano returns as one of the best runners in the country and will look to lead a very strong distance group consisting of Sophie Galleher, Nicole Anderson, Hallie Schwab and Liz Dalton. Caitlin Murphy earned All-American honors as a member of the DMR and will look to lead a strong mid-distance contingent including fellow NCAA performer Zandra Walton.
Tri-captains Carly Levenson and Kate Silverman will be instrumental in leading a very talented long sprint crew of Molly Priedeman, Mary Doris Reggie, Susie Wasserman, Zoe Pagonis and Hoiwan Cheung. The short sprinters should be able to rack up quite a few points in both relays and open events with Jenny Mancino, Jennifer Rybak (Hurdles, multi), Matti Baker, and Kat Loomis leading the charge.
Sarah Leyman had a huge first year throwing for the team, and should get a lot of pushing from first Jordan Roehl. Several other first-years could have an immediate impact, as Shannon McKenna, Eliza Schalch, Melissa Sullivan, Laura Zaccagnino and Chelsea Whipp could turn some heads during the season.
The men lose the leadership of several seniors but will return nearly their entire team from last season, as well as the return of some key members who were abroad or injured. Jimmy Swanson will look to build upon his breakthrough season in the 800 and 1500, and this could be the strength of the team as Jack Kiley will return from a year off. Steve Stewart and Kit Callahan are back and healthy, and first-year runners Steve Corsello and Ben Scheetz have both run some very fast times.
Harrison Lakehomer, Peter Foote, Carlyle Eubank and Will Yochum should all play a big role in the distance events and should get plenty of support from Eric Holaday and sophomores Ben Mears and John McGrail. Anthony Fuller and Keith Pendergrass will head up the sprint crew and several guys who did it for the first time last year should gain valuable experience that will enable them to see some big gains this year. Chris Eaton and Ryan Bone are football converts who threw last spring, and they should pick up where they left off and bolster the throwing events.

Demetrius Thigpen
Demetrius Thigpen
Extraordinary Thoughts for the Ordinary Mind.
His story is no different than many youths, born in a metropolitan area riddled with drugs, crime, and plagued with addiction. Demetrius, the middle child of three siblings was raised by a single mother due to the absence of his father. Demetrius had to experience at an early age just how detrimental addiction was and the damage it can do to a family. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, drugs, crime, addiction, and violence were the norm; and it was a life expected for most. With the lack of jobs and the poverty this city had to offer; Demetrius's mother did the best she could in raising her two young children all on her own. With the loss of her job combined with the recession, the trajectory of their lives would shift from barely getting by to barely being able to keep the lights on. By the time Demetrius was graduating high school, majority of the kids he grew up with had already begun to employ the lessons our environment had taught them; and many had already received the outcome. Demetrius was faced with the cruel realization about his future and what he could get out of this city. Eventually, this led him to make a tough decision at the tender age of 18; join the United States Marine Corps upon graduating high school.
The time came and he enlisted in 2009. Demetrius has served 10 faithful years. Throughout his service he has faced obstacles and overcame adversity; he also deployed to different countries in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force. These tours along with many other challenges would go on to transform him into the man he is today. A Sergeant and Martial Arts Instructor Trainer within the United States Marine Corps, Demetrius has had the privilege to train, lead, guide, and mentor fellow Marines.

Developer: Coffee Stain
Publisher: Coffee Stain
Platform: PC
Release Date: April 1, 2014
Rating: N/A (T+ suggested)
You've probably head the stories about it. You've even heard the legends and the myths. Since time immemorial (or whenever the YouTube videos surfaced), the world has been set ablaze with frenzy for Goat Simulator. What began as some sort of UE3 physics tech demo has been crafted into a perverse playground of pandemonium. Hoof firmly planted in cheek, Goat Simulator asks one question: Are you goat enough?
Whatever you've heard about Goat Simulator, it's all true. There are scores of wacky secrets and hidden goats to uncover by rampaging around and blowing things up. For a game that's $10 and couldn't be more of a $10 game, there's a surprising amount of Easter eggs scattered around for you to unlock. My favorite is the Demon Goat after you've done a certain activity at a certain place. To tell you would spoil the hilarity but believe me, it's amazing. Especially when you get the Demon Goat and start hurtling through the air like a haywire missile.
Wrecking stuff to earn combos and massive points is all there really is (and needs to be) to Goat Simulator. There are some collectible statues and cool locations on the game's one map but once you finish finding everything, you've seen just about all the game has to offer. Amazingly, a free map and new goats are in the works so don't cancel your imminent Steam order just yet. At $10, you're already getting a ridiculously comedic romp that's perfect for showing off to your friends. Oh, and local multiplayer is in the works. Just try and imagine that.
Obviously this game is insanely buggy. While most other titles would be panned for glitches, Goat Simulator revels in them. They produce the weirdest and most amusing moments, like falling through the ground for no reason. The game also isn't a looker but I doubt you're playing this for fancy next-gen graphics. You're here for the comedy, and boy does it deliver.
Goat Simulator revels in its own stupidity. If you enjoy slapstick comedy and absurdity to the extreme, this is absolutely a must-own. It's so terribly awful and hilarious that it's practically begging to be played through. The low price and upcoming content packs mean you really have no excuse not to goat this a try. It'll crash (for which there's an achievement) and there's virtually no depth to it, but Goat Simulator succeeds at what it set out to do. Plus, trading cards. What's not to like?
I'd tell you more about the game but you need to experience it for yourself. Words don't do the insanity justice. If you've ever hated or feared goats, this ain't the game for you. Otherwise, click that buy button and prepare yourself for an experience unlike any other goat.
+ You play as a goat
+ It's $10
+ Free content updates
+ It's buggy
- It's buggy
Now, perhaps you've scrolled down to find some sort of score on this here review. Since Goat Simulator is less a game and more an idiotic sandbox of bedevilment that I can't actually assign a score to, I'll let my words of wisdom above show you the way. The description above should help you to decide whether or not Goat Simulator is for you. If it's not sufficient, feel free to throw angry comments and/or goats at me.
Goat Simulator is as stupid as it looks, but that's why it's brilliant.
Experience it for yourself and let me know what you think!
Disclosure: This game was reviewed using a digital copy that was purchased with the reviewer's own funds.

Chances for the purchase of a particular product are very strongly linked to the content of the customer's shopping basket
Shopping basket analysis gives an opportunity for building reliable prediction models which increase chances for the sale of the product. Basket analysis can be used to indicate the location for the product display that increases the likelihood of purchase or – due to direct knowledge about shopping baskets – to prepare appropriate targeting actions both as a part of a shopping trip and path-to-purchase.
A universally known manufacturer of soft drinks conducted a test in which customers leaving the cash register were offered a new product in a promotional offer. On average 7 % of the customers accepted the offer. The shopping basket analysis revealed that, for instance, the percentage of customers who decided to purchase the new product was two times higher (14%) among the buyers of energy and isotonic drinks. The new product matched the shopping mission and needs of customers who tend to buy such products. At the same time it became clear, in vicinity of which category the producer should locate their product.
Using basket analysis can lead to increasing the likelihood of the product purchase even by several hundred percent in comparison to a randomly selected location in the store.
- Ask yourself: What is the involvement in the category? Does its character indicate people would be likely to devote time to asses alternatives on the shelf/display?
- Observe customers' behaviour in the store and compare sales data with the shelf layout – is there anything clearly indicating the priority rule effect?

I was finally able to get pictures to load. So here's just a quick post for show & tell.
First my chulu hat. It's a bit more red in person.
Here's dad's hat. The colors look very true in the picture. See how high the stripes are? I'll tell him it's his halo!
My current WIP, ready to work the toe. I don't feel like such a sock loser anymore. This is more my speed of socks...chunky yarn...no 10,000 stitches! I better getting cracking on this, it's supposed to be in the 20's the next few nights! Will certainly need warm slippers.
Finally, the offending Goblet of Fire pages. It's hard to see, but it's there...page 210, page 179! Managed to squeeze in two more chapters before falling asleep last night. I'm off work again Friday and hoping to read all day. Doesn't look promising though, looks like we may be going away. Oh well, it's not like I've never read it (for the record, this is the 3rd time I'm reading it.)

Westwood wants to not only showcase her exemplary styling skills, but also host The Pop Up Courses to teach, motivate, and inspire aspiring image consultants.
Ebony Westwood started this business based on her own idea/frustrating and overwhelmed experiences. "After college I found herself totally LOST on what to do and what steps to take to make my dreams a reality especially since I had 0 industry connections. I majored in fashion marketing and I soon realized 1. I don't want to be a marketing specialist and 2. Nothing that I learned those 3 years would actually help me get a JOB in the ever-changing industry. So I took my experiences and everything I learned and create a source where ambitious fashionistas could know exactly how to navigate the industry when they make a decision to embark on their fashion dreams. I knew that this idea would fill a need in the market place. Many aspiring stylist would ask "How did you get started?" or "How can I get started?" among other career specific questions." Westwood vision for this brand is to create a supportive event for aspiring fashion stylist. This event can serve up to 50 men and women, or more!

Good Sunday morning friends! I have a fun little song for you to listen to this week. I love it because it talks about all "the stuff" that drives us all crazy and then reminds us that God uses it all in some way to draw us closer to him. Wonderful, isn't it?
Quick update on my week with Made To Crave. This was a good week. I saw a decreased amount of cravings. While I can't say that I'm craving every health food that is out there I can say that I'm not craving chocolate nearly as much as I used to which is a wonderful feeling. I keep reminding myself that "you crave what you eat" and since I was eating not healthy foods for a long time it is going to take a long time to stop craving it.
I lost 1.5 pounds this week. I'm now into the area of trying to figure out exactly how much I should loose as, though I'm still in my healthy weight range, I know if I go to much lower I will have a hard time maintaining it. So, we'll see how this week goes. How was your week? You don't have to leave specifics. Just let me know how your eating is going. If you are doing the MTC study where are you at? What did you learn this week?
Well, enjoy the song! I'll see you tomorrow with another Paper Pretties card but if you just can't wait 'til then they are having another birthday party hop today that you can join in on right HERE.

News HELP FOR LANDLORDS WHO HAVE TENANTS THAT DON'T PAY RENT
Published by Natalie on 26th January, 2018
Lengthy eviction processes mean that tenants can go almost a year without having to pay rent while strict laws about evicting a tenant means it can be months for a landlord to repossess a property.
Why take the risk? If you are a landlord worried about tenants not paying, then sign up for our let only or fully managed services which include our new specialist tenant eviction service. The comprehensive cover is available free of charge to all landlords using Payton Jewell Caines.
The facility includes a stand-alone pre-paid eviction service along with provision for gaining possession in the event of a tenant rental default, failure to vacate or breach of tenancy agreement. This includes solicitors costs, court costs and a bailiff if required. You will be covered for the first 12 months of the tenancy agreement with the option to renew annually.
Sara Hawkins, Rentals Director for Payton Jewell Caines explains: " The eviction process can take months, and many tenants do not pay rent during this time even though they are legally required to do so.
"Although this new eviction service does not recover unpaid rent, it does give peace of mind that eviction costs will be covered. The first six months of any tenancy is a high-risk period so our landlords will have total peace of mind. Of course, those using our Rent on Time service have the added protection of knowing that their rent will always be paid on the due date no matter what. It guarantees the cash flow on your property portfolio as it will pay the rent on time, every time, even if the tenant defaults!"
Please call 01656 869000 or click here to find out more.

School Sports Day Events
This term we successfully completed sports events for children in the Early Years, the Infants and the Juniors. One of the most pleasant aspects of these days is the opportunity to meet so many parents & carers, and your attendance helps to make these events a real success. I would like to thank Andrew Cooper and Natasha Pasha for their organisation of these events. For Ms Pasha, these were her last sports days as she will be leaving us and relocating away from Ealing at the end of term. We wish her the very best for the future.
After a hugely successful sumer fete last week, we have enjoyed a week of sports day events and greeted our year 6 pupils following their return from a residential trip to France.

THE European Union agreed stricter gun rules on Tuesday but balked at a proposal for a complete ban on the most lethal semi-automatic weapons such as the Kalashnikov.
Reuters reports that the measure is part of an overall tightening of EU rules that govern the purchase and sale of such weapons since two Islamist gunmen shot dead 12 people in the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015. Militants killed 130 people in attacks in Paris in November last year.
Proposed in 2015 but disputed by the bloc's 28 nations, the rules restrict access to some high-caliber weapons and make it easier to track guns to avoid them being sold on the black market.
But amid opposition from Europe's gun lobby, the European Commission's plan to prohibit private citizens from owning weapons like the Russian-made AK-47 failed to obtain enough support from member states.
"We have fought hard for an ambitious deal that reduces the risk of shootings in schools, summer camps or terrorist attacks with legally held firearms," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in statement.
"Of course we would have liked to go further."
Gun-control legislation differs widely across the EU. Some countries sought exemptions on buying and selling semi-automatic firearms for groups ranging from shooting clubs to collectors.

Plenty of Wiggle room
It's not just children and their parents who are fans of The Wiggles these days. The popular children's band has been cultivating lifelong followers.
Having formed in Australia in 1990, the band often hears from early fans, now adults, bringing their own children in to see the group. It's all "a bit scary," according to Jeff Fatt, the Wiggle in purple known best for falling asleep during shows. But it's not even that — the group has a teenage fan contingent, as well.
"It's probably a funny sort of thing, but we also get teenagers coming up to us, because they've had such happy memories of The Wiggles growing up," Fatt said from a tour stop in Kingston, Ontario, just minutes before taking the stage. "It becomes cool for them to like us again, because it's so far left of center as a teenager. As a preschooler, you get to the age of 6 or 7 and it becomes uncool."
The Wiggles 'Go Bananas!'
Where: Palace Theatre, 19 Clinton Ave., Albany
When: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
How Much: $42, $32, $22, $12
More Info: 465-3334, www.palacealbany.com
But parents need not worry about teenagers being at the band's Wednesday evening performance at the Palace Theatre. According to Fatt, it doesn't happen that often.
"You might get one or two, but with that many children, they just stand there," Fatt said, laughing. "But when it does happen, they do make themselves known."
Big on touring
The Wiggles — Fatt on keyboards, guitarist and bassist Murray Cook (who wears red), multi-instrumentalist Anthony Field (blue) and new lead vocalist Sam Moran (yellow) — might just be one of the hardest working bands anywhere. With roughly seven to nine months out of each year reserved for touring, the group still finds time to release multiple DVDs and recordings each year, not to mention filming their TV show, which is syndicated in the U.S. through digital cable channel Sprout.
"It can be difficult on the go; we have families," Fatt said of the non-stop schedule. "I'm unattached, so it's more interesting to me."
The Wiggles' current touring cycle is in support of "Go Bananas!," released early this year. Both the album and the show are focused on animals, with songs such as "The Lion is King" and "Monkey Man" featuring the group's usual mix of sing-along fun and educational lyrics. And of course, favorite characters Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus all make appearances as well.
When Fatt spoke with The Gazette, The Wiggles had been on the road for roughly three weeks on their North American tour. Touring is usually the highlight for the guys, as it allows them to interact with their fans.
"Probably the nicest aspect of that is that usually before the first show of the day, we get to meet children with special needs and disabilities," Fatt said. "You just feel so great doing that. These children don't get a lot of the opportunities that normal healthy children do, so it's a wonderful feeling."
The album is Moran's third with the group, at least. He came aboard in 2006, replacing original lead vocalist Greg Page, who developed a chronic illness, orthostatic intolerance, which causes fatigue and loss of balance. Moran's transition, according to Fatt, has been smooth so far.
"He's become sort of like part of the furniture; people have really accepted him quite well," Fatt said. "it is entirely different, because Sam has a different vocal quality; his register is different, the keys we choose are a bit different than what we had with Greg. I think Sam has more of an operatic style of singing."
Vocal support
He also gets some help on "Go Bananas!" from an unlikely source — fellow Australian singer Kylie Minogue is guest vocalist on "Monkey Man." She connected with the group through her involvement with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which the Wiggles also work with.
"She mentioned in an interview that her nephew is a big fan of The Wiggles, so we took her up on that," Fatt said.
She also appears on the album's accompanying video release, along with other guests, including Australian actor John Waters. The proceeds from the album and video all go to UNICEF, as well.
"She's just a totally great person, really lovely, down to earth," Fatt said. "You always think people that are very big stars, oh, they're difficult to work with — no; she's fantastic."
The group's songwriting process is a collaborative affair, with everyone contributing equally to lyrics and the music — which ranges from '60s inspired pop such as what Fatt and Field played in their previous group The Cockroaches, to R&B, and even some funk.
"I think the music [is the most challenging part to write], more in the sense that you want to try and come up with something different than what you've done before," said Fatt, who as the only member of the group without a background in early childhood education, focuses mostly on music composition, although he does dabble in the lyric-writing process, as well.
"Lyrically, you have to try to maintain the simplicity of what children will relate to, simple concepts. The danger is making things more complicated than they need to be; children are at home with repetition. What we write are pop songs or jingles, which is something that really appeals to children."
Young perspective
As with any entertainer, The Wiggles must always keep their audience in mind.
"The difficulty is, I guess, in being an adult, you're trying to come up with something more than you actually need," Fatt said. "We're always looking at who is our target. What is it to a child? You should always be asking yourself that question — will they understand what we're singing, what we're talking about?"

Last week Tom and I took advantage of the '3 days for 11' deal that the Easter Holidays and Royal Wedding were offering and went to Paris for a few days. Neither of us had been before, and what with it being one of the most famous cities in the world, were really excited about it.
I would like to point out at this point, before any of you have any preconceptions of where this blog post might be going, that no, there was no proposal. If Tom were going to propose to me, it is more likely to be in the vegetable aisle of Lidl than up the Eiffel Tower.
Anyway, here is a description of my time in the city of love summed up with things that I learnt while I was there.
1. Parisian self service ticket machines don't accept notes. Therefore we had to queue for half an hour to buy our metro tickets into the city. This resulted in Tom having a face like this:
2. Paris has double decker underground trains which are awesome and shit all over London's underground.
3. A lot of Paris smells like wee – unfortunately I don't have a picture that depicts this.
4. The Eiffel Tower is as big as you'd expect it to be.
5. The Mona Lisa, on the other hand, is not.
6. If you are under 26, an EU resident and have your passport on you, you get free access to most tourist attractions. Again, no photo representation of this, but those of you that know Tom, will know it made him very happy indeed.
7. Every hour from 9pm the Eiffel Tower sparkles like it is made from diamonds and is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
8. The French clearly don't like 'Hangovers'.
9. Underwear however, they will happily shout about:
10. As will they vaginas:
11. The traffic at the Arc De Triomph really was terrifying
12. My boyfriend's sexuality is at times, questionable.
13. Paris cakes are the best I've ever seen
14. A picture of my housemate Fee. No relevance whatsever – but she always complains that I never mention her in my posts.
Au Revoir!

Writer Gridlines don't show
I have the latest version of Writer installed but selecting the Display Grid or Snap to Grid button doesn't do anything, is there another setting I need to activate first?
First time here? Check out the FAQ!
I have the latest version of Writer installed but selecting the Display Grid or Snap to Grid button doesn't do anything, is there another setting I need to activate first?
Same problem but I solved! first Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Appearance. then in "custom colors" scroll till "text document" > Grid I choose a vivid color like "purple" (only to see better). second Tools > Options > LibreOffice writer > grid > select "visible grid", resolution to 0,30 cm (both horizontal and vertical), subdivision 3.
I found the same issue when opening up documents created in OpenOffice. None of the other solutions helped, so I saved document into a CSV, opened it up if Libre, and problem solved. Not the best workaround, but it solved the problem, perhaps the issue is the was OpenOffice saves files...
I'm a new LO user and find that the grid turns on but is so faint I couldn't see it at first. So I changed the default color to Black. I tried some others (like Red) but they didn't really help.
Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Application Colors>Text Document>Grid. The pull-down has the colors you can use.
I'm just guessing about this being your problem.....

Bakers batter their way through episode four of Great British Bake Off

Find out how our local bakers got on in batter week
After hitting the headlines this week, lovers of The Great British Bake Off were able to sit down and watch some baking, rather than worry for the show's future.
Plans to move the show from BBC to Channel 4 were announced just days ago, but on Wednesday night the attention was firmly back on the kitchen, to find out how Kent's bakers got on.
This week Jane Beedle from Beckenham and Rav Bansal from Erith both faced the new challenge of batter week - a first in the show's six year history.
Beckenham's baker was the first to wow judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry, with her 'meat and two veg' filling inside her Yorkshire puddings.
Despite acclaim from Hollywood, Jane's Yorkshires failed to rise and couldn't claim top spot in the opening round.
Rav faced a difficult episode, and was even considered as one of the contenders to go after a nightmare technical round was followed by a similarly disappointing array of churros in the showstopper round.
But the Erith baker managed to scrape through to next week, as the judges deemed Kate Barmby the weakest baker of the week and she was sent home.
Meanwhile a sterling performance from Croydon's Benjamina Ebuehi granted her the star baker crown for this week.

Pitchfork Media, the groundbreaking, national on-line bible for all things indie-rock gives a shout out to the Rock the Garden line up, the Sculpture Garden, and Walker's upcoming Dosh engagement to boot.
"The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden– adjacent to the Twin Cities' Walker Art Center– is one of the more beautiful spots in the Midwest (that picture doesn't really do it justice). Featuring ornate landscaping and gargantuan sculptures from the likes of Alexander Calder, Claes Oldenburg, and others, it's a surreal, almost magisterial spot, and sounds just about perfect for a concert.
What luck, then, that in celebration of its 20th birthday, the Sculpture Garden is hosting a pretty great one. On June 21, the New Pornographers, Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, and hometown heroes Cloud Cult will, rain or shine, hit the outdoor stage for the Rock the Garden celebration. Happy birthday, place with the big cherry spoon!
Oh, and if you happen to call the Twin Cities home or happen to be in town for a Twins game or something, you'll have a chance to see local boy Dosh— along with Andrew Bird, Jel, Fog, and others– at the Garden's World of Dosh concert May 3."

Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Astronomy program gives students the tools and the knowledge they need to reach for the stars. Working in the Campus Observatory Complex, an exceptional environment that takes advantage of Prescott's high altitude and clear skies, students get to master astrophysics, quantum mechanics and more through hands-on experiences with the instruments that unlock the secrets of the skies. Students also have access to the Hubble Space Telescope and research programs at NASA and the National Science Foundation.
While most astronomers hold advanced degrees, there are astronomy careers that do not require graduate study, including space-based and ground-based observatory technician and operators, astronomical instrumentation development, commercial and military satellite operations, secondary education, science journalism, and financial analysis.
The Bachelor of Science in Astronomy degree is housed in the Department of Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences.
B.S. in Astronomy
The Bachelor of Science in Astronomy is a program designed to prepare students for work in space-related and aerospace-related industries, academic and government research laboratories, graduate studies in astronomy and astrophysics, and other careers such as science education. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects such as planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies, as well as the Universe as a whole. Astronomers apply the fundamental laws of physics to celestial objects to understand the appearance and behavior of those objects. Students will explore objects ranging from the nearby (e.g., the Solar System) to the farthest reaches of the Universe and its origin (e.g., cosmology and the Big Bang).
In addition to classroom learning, students will gain hands-on experience with astronomical equipment, such as telescopes and sophisticated electronic cameras, using the Campus Observatory Complex. Students will learn how to plan, execute, and analyze astronomical observations. In their senior year, students satisfying course and GPA requirements have the option of completing a senior research thesis project in an area of interest that overlaps with the research interests of a supervising faculty member. Opportunities also exist before the senior year for student-faculty research projects. Whether contributing to the fundamental knowledge of astronomical objects, furthering space exploration, or engaging in one of an additional variety of available careers, graduates of this program will be prepared to become leaders in space-related fields.
Admission Requirements
To enter this program, students must have completed four years of high school science and mathematics, demonstrating a high level of competency. Successful candidates for this program will be prepared to enter Calculus I, Physics I, and General Chemistry and must have a good command of written English.
Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science in Astronomy is a 120 credit hour program that can be completed in eight semesters. The list of courses below comprises the complete requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Astronomy. The list is organized as a "vertical outline" according to the year and semester in which the courses would normally be taken. While it is not a requirement that the courses be taken during the year shown, students should be aware that several courses in each academic year may have prerequisites and/or corequisites. Therefore, it is recommended that students keep their schedule as close as possible to the one shown below. Before registering for a course, check the course descriptions to ensure that all prerequisites and/or corequisites are met. Note that prerequisites for a course are only considered met if the student obtained a grade of "C" or better in the prerequisite courses.
Students may not pursue both an Astronomy B.S. degree and a Space Physics B.S. degree. However, also note that the degree requirements for the first three semesters of both degree programs can be satisfied with the same courses. Thus, a student who is making appropriate progress in either the Astronomy or Space Physics degree programs can switch to the other program after the third semester with a complete transfer of credit from one program to the other.
About the School
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's western campus is located in Prescott, AZ, north of Phoenix and a day trip away from Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and picturesque Sedona.

Arianna Huffington sits down for a deep conversation with fellow podcast host and "Human Guinea Pig" Tim Ferriss. The author, speaker, investor and productivity guru is the author of four #1 best-selling books—most recently, Tribe of Mentors.
Arianna and Tim delve into several topics ranging from mental health and mindset to stoicism and being fearless.
Tim explains why he thinks "Human Guinea Pig" has done well, and why his love of podcasting gives him an advantage over other people who are just "doing it out of obligation, or guilt, or fear of missing out:"
I think part of the reason the podcast is done well…is that I really genuinely love doing it. I would be doing something like that and having these conversations anyway because I love doing it. And if you come into anything, say podcasting or using a new social media tool, and you're doing it out of obligation, or guilt, or fear of missing out, you're going to have a really hard time competing against someone who also happens to love doing it. You're not going to have the endurance, you're not going to have the resilience to compete against someone like that.

Drive a Stake into the Heart of the Global Warming Scare Stories
Christopher Booker comments on the Global Warmists.
"When future generations come to look back on the alarm over global warming that seized the world towards the end of the 20th century, much will puzzle them as to how such a scare could have arisen. They will wonder why there was such a panic over a 0.4 per cent rise in global temperatures between 1975 and 1998, when similar rises between 1860 and 1880 and 1910 and 1940 had given no cause for concern…" Taken from Christopher Booker at the Telegraph. Read him here==>> XX
I see it slightly differently. Politicians sought power. Environmentalists and the news media sought relevance. Sadly, we took them at their word and did not question their motives.
Politicians told us that we have sinned and they can save us. A segment of society agreed. That segment wanted to tear down industrial society. Industrial society is a world they do not understand and could never build. "Global warming" offered politicians and environmentalists a chance to rule over everyone. All the politicians, environmentalists and the media had to do was give up their integrity.
It was a small price to pay since they had so little.
June 27, 2014 7:15 am
"… did not question their motives… " That would be one of the most difficult things for people to comprehend. Everyone, even the hermit in his caved, has some ulterior motives. Normally, a hermit can't do much damage, other than maybe to himself. But with politicians people need to understand it's very different: they have been shown to use incredible sums of public moneys to achieve either nothing or even do harm, just to aggrandize themselves. And the worst and costliest is, if a politician wants to leave a "legacy". A hundred presidents, a hundred legacies and you're dead.

Sunday, 20 January 2019 06:17 Jim Ecker
Wilson, a gifted 6-foot-7 forward from Des Moines, has gotten better in just about every category this year.
He's averaging 20.6 points and 8.2 rebounds, compared to 14.1 points and 6.6 boards last year when he was named a second team JUCO All-American.
His ballhandling is better. His passing is better. And his free throws, a bugaboo last year at 46.2 percent, have climbed all the way to 66.1 percent after going 5-for-5 Saturday.
And his defense? Spectacular.
"I think he's probably the best defender in the country," said Kirkwood Coach Bryan Petersen, not prone to hyperbole.
Wilson stuffed the stat sheet again Saturday as the fourth-ranked Eagles tamed 15th-ranked NIACC, 83-65, in an ICCAC conference game at Johnson Hall.
He finished with 25 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks, two steals. He had three splendid dunks in the first four minutes to set the tone, two on terrific lobs from Luke Appel.
Wilson is not a big talker, but he's happy with the way he's been playing this season.
"I feel like my game has gotten a little better overall," he allowed. "I'm still working every day on everything. Free throws were something I really wanted to get good at in my sophomore year here."
Wilson led all NJCAA Division II players in the nation last season when he hit 69.2 percent of his shots from the floor, mostly right around the rim where he does most of his damage. His percentage has slipped a tad this year to 68.4 percent, good for sixth-best in the country. He was 10 for 13 from the floor against NIACC.
"He's been awesome," said Petersen. "He's been a big-time leader for us. Probably the most important thing, he sets the tone for us every day in practice. When he's hooked up and ready to go, we have really good practices."
And the Eagles have enjoyed some really good games, raising their records to 16-2 overall and 5-0 in the league.
Wilson is a tremendous leaper with strong hands and a genuine love for the game. He'll be playing NCAA Division I basketball at South Dakota State next season.
"He's got some extremely good gifts that God blessed him with," said Petersen. "He's long, he's athletic.
"He's got the length, he's got the speed and athleticism, but I think upstairs - mentally - he really wants to get it done."
The NIACC Trojans were averaging a healthy 97.7 points when the day began, but they struggled to get into the 60's against Kirkwood. The Eagles clamped down on defense and attacked NIACC's zone traps with reckless abandon.
"That was a good win. We did a lot of good things," said Petersen.
"We feel really good about it," added Wilson. "Coming in, we knew they were a pretty good team. We did a really good job of executing and following the game plan."
Allante Pickens and Connor Kasperbauer both hit three 3-pointers and scored 11 points. Appel finished with 13 rebounds, seven assists and seven points. Brady Sartorius contributed nine points off the bench.
James Harris scored 11 points for NIACC (12-3, 3-1).
NIACC (65): Harris 4 3-4 11, Hamilton 0 0-0 0, Hardrict 3 1-2 8, Matthews 4 1-2 9, Dean 1 1-5 4, Lang 2 3-3 9, Roberson 3 1-2 8, Wanjara 0 1-2 1, Jo. Walker 0 2-2 2, Ja. Walker 1 2-4 4, Sampson 3 0-1 6, Kelly 1 0-0 3. Totals 22 15-27 65.
KIRKWOOD (83): Sims 1 4-6 6, Pickens 4 0-0 11, Kasperbauer 4 0-0 11, Wilson 10 5-5 25, Appel 3 0-0 7, Thedford 0 3-4 3, Sartorius 4 0-0 9, Dee 1 0-0 3, Clark 0 0-0 0, Stephenson 1 0-0 2, Biernacki 0 0-0 0, Gosnell 0 3-4 3, Arrington 1 0-0 3. Totals 29 15-19 83.
Halftime - Kirkwood 45, NIACC 31. 3-point goals - NIACC 6 (Lang 2, Hardrict 1, Dean 1, Roberson 1, Kelly 1), Kirkwood 10 (Pickens 3, Kasperbauer 3, Appel 1, Sartorius 1, Dee 1, Arrington 1).
