It's early summer in Provence, the sky is sharply blue and the midday temperature agreeably toasty but it's not yet too hot to be tiresome. France's magic date – le quatorze juillet – which signals the descent of southbound hordes via the Autoroute du Soleil – hasn't yet arrived. This (along with autumn) is my favourite time to visit.
Down in the cellar of the Famille Perrin estate, Charles Perrin, one of seven siblings and cousins working for the family firm, has set bottles and glasses on top of an up-ended barrel for a tasting. We sniff, sip and spit, first a white Châteauneuf du Pape (who knew?), then a Roussanne-rich blend from old, low-yielding vines. Charles keeps up a steady and engaging patter, with animated explanations of every step each wine has had to take before reaching our glasses. "Our job is to talk wine," he admits with evident relish, "We travel the world telling the story of Perrin wines." Eighty percent of their production is exported, with the US their most important market.
Then we take off into the reds with a series of Beaucastel's celebrated Châteauneuf du Pape from several different vintages. There's plenty of talk, first of those famous, smooth, sunbaked stones in which the vines are improbably rooted, and then of the chilling effects of the fearsome mistral which blasts down the Rhone at regular intervals throughout the year.
We discover why a Beaucastel Châteauneuf is different from those of other estates: of the 13 grape varieties permitted in the mix (some of them in both red and white expressions), the Perrins use a higher proportion of Mourvèdre grapes than their peers; and we learn why it can taste subtly different from year to year – it's all about the blend of those different varieties, whose composition is decided on after frequent and regular tasting, an exercise that gives rise to intense debate and lively discussion amongst the whole family team.
Our cellar business completed, we rattle off up a stony track in Charles's 4 x 4 to one of the Perrin vineyards in Gigondas. It's situated just beneath the Dentelles de Montmirail, a jagged limestone outcrop that dominates the skyline for miles around. Here, another upturned barrel with a magnum of chilled Perrin white wine awaits. To the west the sun shows signs of sinking below the skyline. The vineyard tractors have fallen silent; all we hear is an insistent chorus of crickets punctuated by occasional birdsong.
The crowning part of the programme is dinner down in the village of Gigondas at L'Oustalet, the small restaurant on the village square that's owned jointly by Chef Laurent Deconinck and the Perrin family. On the terrace, where it all happens in summer, there's room for around 40 guests – best of all is the huge table built around a gnarled olive tree that seats at least a dozen and serves as a sort of Stammtisch or communal table.
There's a small page of seasonal suggestions, plus a 3-course petit menu at €60, a 4-course menu classique at €82 and the 5-course grand menu blowout at €96. You can also take the wine-matching option with your chosen menu: €32 for 3 glasses, €44 for 4 and €52 for 5. Check the website for what's currently on the chef's mind, but in early summer you can expect the likes of stuffed courgette flowers with asparagus and summer truffles, red mullet on black rice, spring lamb, truffled pecorino and a violet-infused fresh bilberry creation for pudding.
Given that the restaurant is jointly owned by the Perrin family and the chef, you might expect the wine list to major on Perrin wines to the exclusion of almost all else. Here's the surprise: it's a proper treasure chest of France's top drops, with – logically – the southern and northern Rhone forming the backbone. But – hooray – it's not all Châteauneuf du Pape at over €300 a pop: there are plenty of lesser-known, (relatively) affordable treasures whose prices hover around the €40/€50 mark. Best of all there are at least 25 different wines offered by the glass.
And if, after all this talk of L'Oustalet's alluring wine list, you're concerned about how to get home, remember there are three delicious rooms in the narrow street up behind the restaurant, so you can drink with impunity and without a thought for who will take the wheel. (The breakfast's not half bad either…)

CtiTV's news channel (中天新聞台) was fined NT$500,000 (US$16,500) yesterday for broadcasting derogatory comments about female participants in the Sunflower protest movement in one of its popular night-time talk shows.
The channel's News Tornado (新聞龍捲風) program upset many viewers after one of its regular guests, Peng Hua-gan (彭華幹), commented on the appearance of two female participants in the movement against the government's handling of the cross-strait service trade pact.
Based on an episode recorded by the National Communications Commission (NCC), Peng said that one of the women wore a "provocative" low-cut shirt, hot pants and thigh-high boots, which he said made her look "super hot." He then moved his hands over a photograph of the woman as if to suggest that he was unbuttoning her shirt.
Peng then pointed to the photograph of another woman, who was wearing a see-through chiffon blouse while sleeping on the floor of the Legislative Yuan's main chamber during the siege.
Commenting on the photograph, Peng said that this was why many people decided to cancel their tickets to the annual Spring Scream music festival in Kenting, because the festival would offer nothing like this to see.
Rather than stopping Peng from making any further comments, the show's host, James Tai (戴立綱), encouraged the conversation.
The NCC received more than 1,000 complaints within just two days after the episode was aired.
Facing mounting criticism, Peng and Tai later apologized in the program for their comments.
As of yesterday, the number of complaints about the episode had reached about 9,000, the commission said.
NCC spokesperson Yu Hsiao-cheng (虞孝成) said that the episode was viewed by an independent content review committee. Of the 19 committee members, 16 voted that the channel be punished and three voted that the channel be notified to address the situation.
The NCC commissioners affirmed the penalty recommended by the committee, which was to fine CtiTV NT$500,000 for violating the Satellite Broadcasting Act (衛星廣播電視法) by airing content disrupting public order or adversely affecting good social customs or norms.
"Even though this particular infringement was recorded for the first time in the past two years, the committee members deemed it a very serious violation, as the program aired comments that objectified and discriminated against women. The starting fine for a serious violation is set at NT$500,000," the commission's Communications Content Department specialist Lin Huei-lin (林慧玲) said.
The commission also asked the channel to submit a report on how the channel's ethics committee works to control the quality of its programs.
The commission said that the channel is scheduled to renew its license at the end of this year, adding that it would take the violation into consideration when it reviews the channel's license renewal application.
The channel has recorded eight violations in the past two years prior to this matter, with the total penalties topping NT$2.3 million.
They included infringements of the Sexual Assault Crime Prevention Act (性侵害犯罪防治法), the television program classification system, regulations separating television programs and advertisements, as well as the Protection of Children and Youths Welfare and Rights Act (兒童及少年福利與權益保障法).

Our monthly peace camp is a visible witness to Aldermaston's preparations for nuclear war and a consistent site of opposition to nuclear weapons, and all forms of war. In order to maintain the camp, we have had to campaign for our freedom to protest. AWPC has always campaigned against Britain's nuclear weapons, in a variety of different ways. Since 2002 our primary focus has been to stop the facilities for the next generation of nuclear weapons being built at Aldermaston and Burghfield. We also run a SERCO shareholders campaign. We work with other campaigning organizations and direct action groups towards ending nuclear weapons production at Aldermaston, and the decomissioning of the UK's current nuclear weapons system.
freedom to protest
As well as campaigning directly against Britain's nuclear weapons programme, over the past 24 years, we have maintained our right to protest in the proud tradition of women's protest and resistance. There have been repeated attempts over the years to get rid of the camp by the Ministry of Defence and the companies which run Aldermaston. In 2009 we finally won the right to camp on Ministry of Defence land outside the fence at Aldermaston.
Serco is one of the three companies that make up AWE-ML - the joint venture company with the contract to run AWE Aldermaston and Burghfield until 2025.
Serco are a UK FTSE-100 company with diverse contracts which include managing detention centres, prisons, hospitals, schools and public transport. Typically almost 30% of their turnover comes from the "defence" sector worldwide.
Because Serco are floated on the London stock exchange it is possible for AWPC - and others - to hold shares in the company. Shareholders are entitled to attend the company's AGM, ask annoying questions and arrive on their doorstep requesting an inspection of the accounts.
Here you can find all stories relating to AWPC's Serco shareholder campaign.

I'm going to laugh if someone pulls an Expendables 3 on QT. That would make three for three. Four for four if they leak the trailer as well.
As for this...meh. More histrionic pseudo-historical nonsense dressed up in bloodied rags.

So the teaser got leaked. Good. Can't wait to see tarantino going ape sh*t.

Quentin Tarantino becomes pissed that the trailer leaked and refuses to make the film....again.

This movie will be fantastic.

Hope this will be Django quality and not Death Proof garbage !!!

I hope its better than his last "western". DJANGO UNCHAINED sucked; my second least favorite film behind DEATH PROOF.
on August 21st, 2014 at 6:48:34 PM
Quentin Tarantino is a master at his craft. I love that he always releases his movies on Christmas. Its like his gift to the world!
on August 21st, 2014 at 6:50:09 PM
Quentin Tarantino has never made a bad movie in my opinion. No director can really compare.
on August 21st, 2014 at 7:26:00 PM
^ Jackie Brown, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, Kill Bill 1 & 2. Yes, great artist and film maker. Yes, mediocre writer who could benefit from the aid of a partner. All of the above mentioned films while well crafted are forgettable homage masturbation. But, hey. Some people like watching other dudes jerk off.
on August 21st, 2014 at 8:30:58 PM
Don't care for this film....ever since Kill Bill Vol.2 I haven't seen a QT film...Kill Bill Vol.2 just put me right off him.

You can call this H8teful Nine. I hate you. Not only do you rip off Prince in using the number 8 so "wittingly" in the name, but you rip off Sergio Leone in that "teaser".
You are worthless and a liar.
Go pull a Robin Williams, crossed with a David Carradine, followed up by a Ryan Dunn, you overrated, hackneyed piece of dog turd.

East Sussex County Council is working with Action in Rural Sussex to support the development of Good Neighbour Schemes to prevent isolation and loneliness
East Sussex has one of the largest populations of people over the age of 85 in the country, and around 10 per cent say they feel lonely.
The schemes, run by co-ordinators in towns and villages, link people in communities that need support with volunteers who are able to help.
Hartfield, Forest Row and Rotherfield already have successful 'Good Neighbour Schemes', with Wadhurst launching a Befriending Scheme in September.
Volunteers offer transport to doctor appointments, help with shopping, gardening and housework. They also help with letter writing and filling out forms or just pop in for a cup of tea and a chat.
Audrey Mark Fort, who benefits from a Good Neighbour Scheme in the Wealden area, said:
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the volunteers who come to see me
Audrey is unable to walk on her own after having a fall and was spending more and more time alone at home. But thanks to a Good Neighbour Scheme, Audrey now receives regular visits from volunteer Jennifer McInness.
Audrey said:
I wanted someone to talk to, as it's quite lonely when you can't get out and it's helped me so much. Jennifer and I have a really nice relationship.
Jennifer, a widow herself, visits Audrey twice a week and takes her out for a walk, picks up shopping and keeps her company:
It makes me feel good to do something worthwhile. It's nice for me to meet different people and I am there for Audrey if she needs me or wants to talk.
The day to day running of schemes is carried out by a local co-ordinator with the support of voluntary organisations.
Teresa Gittins, deputy chief executive at Action in Rural Sussex, said there were a number of established schemes but others that needed more volunteers to offer help and support.
Being a predominantly rural area, there are a lot of people who need help with transport to appointments and shopping trips, but we are keen to encourage schemes to offer more befriending services.
People think there are council services that could be looking after vulnerable people in communities, but the Good Neighbour Scheme is breaking down the 'them and us' barriers. It is making people realise that they should do something to help.
To find out more about the Good Neighbour Schemes, get recognised as another source of help or to volunteer your time, download a Good Neighbour Scheme Toolkit. Or contact Teresa Gittins on 01273 407306 or email email@example.com.
Other sources of help
There are also other many social groups being run by local voluntary and church groups in the Crowborough area for those who find it hard to get-out on their own. In June national charity Contact the Elderly established a new social group in Crowborough, and there are also community transport schemes run by All Saints Church and Wealdlink.
If you already run a scheme in the Crowborough area make sure details are included on the CrowboroughLife Community pages.

What Is Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is a blood disorder. It cuts down the amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin that the body can make. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the organs in the body. Hemoglobin is a part of red blood cells that help grab oxygen at the lungs. Low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin can lead to anemia. Anemia can result in a low level of oxygen in the body that interferes with normal bodily functions.
Thalassemias are split into two main categories. The categories are based on the part of hemoglobin that is affected:
- Alpha thalassemia: based on the alpha part of hemoglobin
- Beta thalassemia: based on the beta part of hemoglobin
What Causes Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is caused by faults in specific genes. It is an inherited disorder. This means the affected person received the faulty genes from the parents. The severity of the thalassemia will depend on the number of faulty genes that a child inherits. There are four genes needed for hemoglobin, two from each parent. The number of genes that are faulty will determine the severity and subtype of thalassemia:
- In alpha thalassemia
- One abnormal gene: silent carrier, no signs of illness but can pass the condition on to the child
- Two abnormal genes: thalassemia trait, may have mild anemia
- Three abnormal genes: Hemoglobin H disease, moderate to severe anemia
- Four abnormal genes: most severe form called Alpha hydrops fetalis results in fetal or newborn death
- In beta thalassemia
- One abnormal gene: Thalassemia minor, carrier with mild anemia
- Two abnormal genes: Thalassemia major known as Cooley's anemia, may have moderate to severe anemia
Risk Factors for Developing Thalassemia
Factors that increase your chance of thalassemia include:
- Certain types of thalassemia are associated with ancestors from certain parts of the world:
- Alpha thalassemias: Southeast Asia, Malaysia, and Southern China
- Alpha hydrops fetalis: Southeast Asian, Chinese, and Filipino ancestry
- Beta thalassemias: Africa, areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, and Southeast Asia
- A family history of the disorder
Thalassemia Symptoms
Silent carriers will have no symptoms. For others, symptoms most often begin within 3-6 months of birth.
Symptoms of mild or moderate anemia may include:
- Feeling weak and tired
- Shortness of breath
- Lightheadedness or headaches
- Cold hands and feet
- Pale skin
Symptoms of severe anemia include:
- Lack of interest in activity
- Pale appearance
- Poor appetite/feeding
- Dark urine
- Jaundice
General symptoms of thalassemia include:
- Slow growth and delayed puberty
- Enlarged and fragile bones, including:
- Thickening and roughening of facial bones
- Bones that break easily
- Teeth that don't line up properly
Thalassemia can also lead to complications such as:
- Increased risk of developing infections
- Enlarged spleen
- Heart failure
- Liver problems
Diagnosing Thalassemia
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Blood tests will be done to measure levels of:
- Hemoglobin
- Red blood cells
- Iron
Thalassemia Treatment
Treatment will be based on the type and severity of anemia. Mild forms may not need treatment. More severe forms may need:
Blood Transfusions
Blood transfusions will help provide healthy new red blood cells. The blood comes from a donor and is carefully screened before it is delivered in a transfusion.
Repeated blood transfusions can lead to high levels of iron in the blood. This can damage the heart, liver, and other vital organs. Certain medications can bind to the iron and carry it out of the body through urine.
Bone Marrow Transplant
Healthy stem cells from a donor's bone marrow are injected into your vein. The new cells travel through the blood into the bone cavities. There, they can produce new normal blood cells. This may be a cure in some.
Thalassemia can cause the spleen to enlarge. An enlarged spleen can make anemia worse. A splenectomy is a surgery to remove the spleen. It may help reduce the number of blood transfusions that are needed.
General Health
Complications and impact on your daily activities may be reduced by following basic healthy lifestyle tips:
- Eat a well-balanced diet. Your doctor may also recommend supplements like folic acid
- Include regular physical activity
- Take steps to prevent cold or flus. Wash your hand often. Avoid crowds during flu season. Get vaccinations as recommended.
- If you have thalassemia and you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about any special steps you need to take.
- Go to all medical appointments as recommended.
Thalassemia Prevention
This disease is inherited. Blood tests and family genetic studies will show if you are a carrier. A genetic counselor can discuss the risks of passing on the disease.

Monte shared a message about discernment at NOLA Church Sunday morning, and while there was so much food for thought, the biggest takeaway for me was when he said, "If you don't like your relationship with God, change it." This isn't going to be a post about that even though that's really important, but the statement can apply to practically anything in our lives.
I've been feeling down a lot lately, and today I decided to do some things to change it. Last night I spent some time singing and playing piano (if you can call what I did playing) just to break through some of the nervousness that I feel when I think of playing in front of people. I did it a lot growing up because my parents made me, but now I'd like to because I enjoy it. I'm passionate about singing, so maybe at some point I could feel the same way about keys. if not, it will still be fun to do it from time to time.
I changed up my lunch routine a bit today too. I went to Whole Foods and ate a healthy, hearty lunch, then I picked up a spa water (okay, two) to bring back to the office with me. I drank my fruit infused water instead of coffee, and it made me feel healthy and a little fancy. (It doens't take much. Ha.)
I also spent some time on my rooftop after work today. Having a snack and drink in your bed is gross and depressing, but do it by the pool, and it's awesome. I had a couple of friends over too, and while we were up there a nice guy offered us some of the steaks he grilled. I had a few bites, but I grilled some stuff as well.
After that I hit the gym with my aforementioned friends. Two out of three of us didn't feel like it, but thankfully, the one who did convinced us to do it too. I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill, which feels a lot better than nothing.
I also signed up to do a 5k with another friend on May 30th. She'll reach the finish line before I do, but I'm fine with that. We'll both leave with finisher metals anyway, and there will be someone waiting to take a picture of me. (Ah, the perks of being slower.)
I can't say that I feel 100% better and completely amazing yet, but I can honestly say that I feel so much better than I did yesterday.
Now I'm going to curl up under my blankets, spend a few minutes reading the Bible, then have a good night's sleep and pray that I can stay focused and empowered again tomorrow. (That may not be easy because I have to have a conversation that I'd rather not have tomorrow, but I'll worry about that later.)
I'm here, and I'm trying to jump out of my comfort zone to change what I don't like while rediscovering my worth, which I seemed to forget for a while. Overall, I'd say I'm on my way back to the right track.

That's quite under what would be/should be expected... not for 50 minutes at least. In the HSC the minimum expected is 800 words for 40 minutes. In the HSC, I typically wrote 1600-1800 words for my business reports in 50-60 minutes, and for economics I was able to write over 2000 words in about an hour. Depending on your writing speed, 1300 may or may not be too much. For me, in 45 minutes, I typically wrote 1500-1550 words, but I think I was a machine back then... LOL. Well at least that's what people always suggested... I could never write anywhere near that now that the HSC is over!!! I struggle to write 1200 in 40 minutes now!For my assessment my teacher suggested at least 800 for 50 minutes.
That may be effective for English, but it's not wise to do it for humanities subjects... you need to have the ability to write essays on the spot for these subjects, using the knowledge you have attained through your study. there are far too many options in terms of the number of questions that could potentially be asked in an essay question for a humanities subject such as business studies or economics, so you are basically wasting your time memorising an essay which has a very small chance of coming up. unless you have been given the question before hand, I would recommend that you focus on learning the CONTENT rather than learning an essay. but even if you have been given the question before-hand, remember that this is not the sort of experience you will have in the actual HSC exams and in the trials and in other potential school assessments... so you're best getting into the habit of making essays and formulating responses that suit the question right then and there rather than going into the exam with pre-conceived ideas as to what the question is going to be.What I usually do is write my essay and memorise it. Make sure it answers the question and have it around 800-1000 words depending on how much you can write. When you have almost reached your conclusion, look at how much time you have left. Keep some extra points in mind in case you have time to go into more depth, so you can add it in if necessary. If there is no time then dont worry about it. Just keep how much time you have left in mind, in case you need to cut your report down even further. Hope this helped!
lol fuck off.For a prepared question, you should be able to write at least 1400 words in 45 minutes. For unprepared, at least 1000 words. That's pretty much the standard if you want to guarantee yourself at least a band 5 since if you write enough, you're pretty much keeping yourself above a certain mark (say, about 15/20)

Latest News
$2 million in jewelry stolen from Paris Hilton's home
About $2 million worth of jewelry was stolen from socialite Paris Hilton's Los Angeles home early Friday. Police said it appears a burglar ransacked Hilton's bedroom. some time between late Thursday evening and 4 a.m. Friday.
The individual does not appear to be a professional burglar based on the investigation so far, law enforcement sources said.
Police said that Hilton was not home at the time of the burglary and that the house is equipped with a security system. In addition, the gated community has its own security force that police said was helping them to identify the burglar.
"I expect we'll be able to apprehend the culprit here based on some of the information we have," said LAPD Deputy Chief Charlie Beck.
In initial public statements the department said the burglar broke open a locked door. But sources close to the investigation say the burglar may have entered the house by other means.
LAPD sources said they have not ruled out that the suspect may be familiar with the mansion and neighborhood.
Investigators said they do not believe the incident is connected to a string of burglaries in recent years that have targeted celebrities and the wealthy in the Westside and Hollywood Hills.
Friday's incident was not the first time Hilton has been the victim of a burglary. In 2004, several thousand dollars in jewelry, money and other valuables were taken from a home she shared with her sister, Nicky Hilton.
Hilton acquired the 7,500-square-foot Mulholland Estates property last year for more than $5 million. In October, she took talk-show host Ellen Degeneres on a televised tour of the estate, which includes numerous portraits of Hilton, a stripper pole and an array of immense chandeliers.

Dean Martin. So cool and so talented. I'm a huge Frank Sinatra fan, but Dean Martin is right up there with Frank as one of the top entertainers of not only the 20th century, but all-time. Another favorite of mine, Steve McQueen, was also nicknamed the "King of Cool", but Martin got there first.Read More

"Announcing itself with a blast of amplified harmonica, "The Jack of Harps" CD proves over 10 tough, excellently recorded tracks that John Németh & The Jacks are stellar exponents of retro-style blues (with a touch of William Clarke-inspired jazziness on "Fetch That Wood"). The original songs, including the excellent off-kilter "Late Night Hour," the soulful "Up To No Good," and the stoptime "Love Zombie," flash humor and quirkiness in appropriate measure. While Németh's confident vocals and big-toned harp are center stage, The Jacks display an enviable command of dynamics and interplay. Don't miss this." – Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue

District proposition seeks $179 million
By Blanca Gonzalez
December 30, 2007
There's no heat in the Proposition C campaign headquarters on Midland Road in Poway, but Lorene Joosten and Sabrina Butler make do with space heaters from home and an extra sweater or two.
Despite the chill, Joosten and Butler expect a warm response from voters Feb. 5 when residents decide on the Poway Unified School District's $179 million bond measure.
A survey conducted in September found that two-thirds of likely voters would support the bond, which would allow the district to finish school renovation projects that were supposed to be done using a $198 million bond measure approved in 2002. The district was unable to complete all of the projects planned for that money.

This week was Teacher In-service.
Yes, I know we homeschool.
And I am the teacher. Still.
I am preparing for our 10th year of homeschooling. Did you hear what I said? TEN years of homeschooling!!!! I never wanted to homeschooling to begin with, and we are celebrating a decade of schooling at home. Even now, I often wonder how I got here! God's sense of humor I guess!
This year will also see my biggest challenge to date: one child in high school, one child in middle school, one in elementary, and one in Pre-K.
Needless to say, as I am finishing up a week lesson planning, my head is almost spinning around, 360 degrees, like some creepy horror show homeschooling mom.
It goes like this:
Okay, let's get this show on the road! Time to plan high school Biology! Great! Cells, classification, biology stuff. Do I have the lab equipment? Dissection kit? Okay, that should get us through the first month. Done.
Now, printables on the letter "A", how to tie a shoe, and small-motor manipulatives. Oooo, I must remember to find that recipe on how to make play-dough at home.
Okay, enough preschool. Moving to elementary history. Ah, this year we are studying the Medieval ages! Fun! Knights, castles, swords, Illuminated manuscripts-joy, joy! making the daily assignment calendar. Ooo that reminds me -
must work in time for Latin for the oldest two. Oh, but we have to schedule around The Young Adult's 3x a week math class.
Oh no! Did I forget about math when I scheduled First Lego League meetings?
Where is my master calendar? Not that one - the color-coded one!
And the middle schooler must finish up his grammar program. Where is that book?
See my head spinning?
I know - I chose to homeschool! And what is more, I am making an extra effort to be organized. I figure that the more organized I am, the better the big boys can work on their own.
Oh, but I need to find a few lesson plans on The Deerslayer. I hated what we did two years ago.
I am hoping school starting up will not kill my efforts to get in shape. Being tons overweight, in spite of diet and exercise, I have made a bigger effort to ramp up what I am doing to workout. All fine and good. But it really needs to survive school. It sounds so easy - just 30 minutes!
Did I order those math books yet? No, I did not. I do not even want to contemplate how much the school books are costing this year.
But 30 minutes while doing laundry (never-ending), directing school, and yelling at boys who would rather play Minecraft than decline Latin nouns. Plus, every time I work near the floor, the cat suddenly wants to cuddle with me. Nevertheless, it must work!
Shoot! I have to get those lesson plan for The Hobbit finished up! In less than two weeks, I will have 15 middle school coop students waiting for me to dazzle them with Tolkien!
Ah! One more week of planning! Buh-bye, summer 2012!

Shoes constitute a large section of many women's wardrobes. There is something about shoes that simply appears to create ladies insane. Shoes are available in a lot of types and alternatives and are available in and out of trend so much that it's hard to match what is in and what is out. Smooth shoes seem to constantly stay in type; it might be the convenience aspect, plus they make it more straightforward to understand during the day.
Shoes have already been around for some time, especially smooth shoes included [ss_single_title], there is proof that points for them being around since twelve hundred BC. The very first foot treatments later to become called shoes were flat shoes within the type of sandals. They certainly were made from delicate leather that covered round the foot; there was very little sign regarding that was correct or left. Until around eighteen sixty shoes were produced with no contour whatsoever for them to indicate the left in the right, each footwear was produced a similar. Around nineteen seventeen the very first sneakers, individuals with rubber bottoms and fabric uppers was made. These rubber soled types became highly popular with males and flew off the racks.
Each goes beyond rubber soled canvas topped sneakers. They are produced from many components into many types. You will find flat shoes which are dedicated to dress wear, they are nicely decorated with rhinestones along with other baubles to create them stand-out and dress-up and attire. You will find types which are basic and practical which are designed for everyday wear. There's also types which are designed for wear in the home. House slippers for wear athome are available in an enormous selection; some are also humorous and represent fuzzy creatures or cartoon figures. They are nevertheless produced in sandal kind much like their sometime ago ancestors, except you can now quickly inform the left in the right. You will find types which are focused on sports activities, dancing, beach wear; the listing is unbelievably long and detailed.

Contrary to public perception, few overseas-born elderly Asians own a house and many are living in poorly maintained dwellings.
The impact on the health and wellbeing of older Asians is set to be discussed at a two-day international health conference in Auckland starting tomorrow.
The Asian and Ethnic Minority Health and Wellbeing Conference will also focus on maternal health, primary health and community care, cultural competency and workforce development.
"There's a big concern over the poor living conditions, low rates of home ownership and the general unfamiliarity with New Zealand housing among the older Asian population," said Associate Professor Elsie Ho, University of Auckland's director of population mental health.
"It's probably worse in Auckland because of the high property prices, but current immigration policy means we will see older migrants from Asia continue to come."
Nearly six per cent of all Asians living in New Zealand, or 27,309, are aged 65 or over.
Ho said a study was underway to explore the impact of housing situation of older Asians and its impact on health and wellbeing.
"The older Asian migrants are really dependent on their children, and there is a small number who are being left here to fend for themselves after their children move back to their home country or somewhere else," Ho said.
A 2013 Official Information Act release revealed that nearly 3000 migrants who brought their parents here, 31 per cent from China, had permanently left New Zealand.
Chinese community leader Susan Zhu said many Chinese elderly faced loneliness, isolation and language difficulties.
"One solution is to have culturally appropriate rest homes, and the need has become even more pressing with this revelation of low home ownership rates," Zhu said.
Another conference speaker Dr Ruth de Souza, a Melbourne-based educator and researcher, will be addressing the role of culture in perinatal mental health.
Drawing on her work within maternal health services here and in Australia, she will be proposing ways how culturally safe care can be rethought.
More than 150 health practitioners, service providers, policy makers and researchers will attend the conference at the university's Tamaki Innovation Campus.
People aged 65+ home ownership rates
• European - 84%
• Maori - 63%
• Pacific - 50%
• Asian (NZ-born) - 81%
• Asian (overseas-born) - 68%
• Asian new settlers (under 10 years) - 60%

Linking hyperlocal blog posts and councillors: a simple solution
At last Saturday's Talk About Local unconference, I chucked out an idea and problem I'd been playing with for a few weeks: how to show links to hyperlocal site blog posts about a given councillor, committee, meeting or what-have-you. We've got pages on over 8000 councillors over at OpenlyLocal and it would be good to show links to stories about them when they are written about by hyperlocal sites.
The solution I'd come up with was pretty simple, but seemed like it would have legs, and more to the point be easy to use: the pingbacks that WordPress and many other blogging systems send out (unknown to most users) when they link to another website. A pingback is a very short message to say: hey, I've linked to this page on your site from this blog post on my site.
Normally unless the thing you're linking to is another blog (in which case it often appears in the comments), the pingback is ignored, but it doesn't have to be. So my idea was to set up a pingback server on OpenlyLocal so that if you linked to a councillor, committee, meeting or poll (possibly soon candidates and documents if the interest is there), we could then link back to the piece (together with its title and few words of excerpt).
As with the OpenlyLocal widget, I got the excellent Philip John of the Lichfield Blog and JournalLocal to test it out once I'd built it. He updated three recent posts about Councillor David Smith, the departing leader of Lichfield council, with links to the OpenlyLocal page about him, and this is the result:
Thus your readers get links to more info about the councillor, meeting, committee etc, and you get more links and Google juice back to your site (it also acts as a loose webring for hyperlocal blogs covering the same area). One extra point, this service will only list pingbacks from approved entries in the Hyperlocal Directory. That way, we don't have to worry about spamming from non-hyperlocal sites. As ever, comments welcome below.
10 Responses
Nice, elegant solution – I love it. Any chance council websites can be in the approved list? Would love for press releases featuring councillors to show up too.
Chris 3 questions:
1. Will it work with Ning? (with & without membership walls)?
2. Do the links to the OL page have to be in a post when it's first published or can they be added later?
3. Do links in comments get picked up?
Will it work with Drupal?

Each week the haunting wail of the common look opens Field Notes. The loon's cry always brings to my mind large, clear mountain lakes rimmed by lush coniferous forests, a handsome pair in their formal back and white courting plumage calling across the quiet water.
Large lakes because this heavy-bodied, small-winged bird requires a long runway, skittering across the water's surface to become airborne. Clean lakes, because the loon hunts visually. And quiet waters because loons abandon a nest if overly disturbed by people's activities.
So imagine my surprise when last winter, I was hanging out on a warm beach in the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, and across the water comes that plaintive cry. Loons, no doubt about it! There in the desert south, among cacti, saltwater, brown pelicans and blue-footed boobies were three common loons there for the winter. Could they have been from Montana? Possibly. We really have no idea exactly where Montana loons go in winter. Common loons are recorded as far south as Baja, California and the Gulf of Mexico. They will winter on nearly any large body of open water where there is an abundant food supply and little disturbance.
These loons had not a trace of their breeding plumage - they were in their vacation duds: informal brown. Wintering loons generally keep their individual foraging territories during the day and then congregate in loose groups, called "rafts" at night.
Winter is not an entirely easy time for loons, though. In recent years, biologists have discovered massive die-offs of loons on winter beaches - especially the Gulf of Mexico. It seems that loons pick up mercury and lead in summer waters: mercury accumulated through the food chain pollution and lead from fishing sinkers. Over time, these toxins collect in the loon's body, causing serious illness. But why large die-offs in winter? The loon's winter molt is an incredible energy drain when they must consume large amounts of food, and this stress increases the mortality of birds weakened by toxin poisoning.
To end this on a positive note, loons are still hanging on in Montana - especially because of the work of volunteers and biologists, who put up buoys near nests each spring to reduce disturbance while the loons are incubating. And now that "loony" wail makes me think of not only pristine Montana lakes, but where I'd like to spend my next winter vacation!

Here's the graph of the average proportion of a set's part that are specialised each year/decade:
Or, if you prefer, a graph of the proportion of sets each year that contain more than 50% specialised parts:
Conclusion: Sets these days are not full of overly specialised parts - they're pretty much the least specialised they've ever been!
Update: I wouldn't pay too much attention to the startlingly high results for the 50's and 60's since, for reasons explained in the updates and comments below, they are known to be erroneously inflated to some degree. I'm in the process of trying to fix this.
The bad years of the late 90's and early 2000's, when specialised parts supposedly proliferated wildly, are clearly visible on the second graph, but they're perhaps not as bad as you might have expected. On the averages graph, they don't seem that bad at all. I guess we tend to focus on the worst examples from those years, without acknowledging that the majority of sets weren't that bad.
What you can clearly see on both graphs, beginning around 2006, is the effect of stricter controls on set designers' use of specialised parts. In David Robertson's book, Brick by Brick, he says:
"As a result [of the new rules], on average, at least 70 percent of every LEGO set, whether it's a LEGO City box or a new play theme such as Ninjago, is now made up of standard, universal bricks."Lo and behold, by 2007 the averages graph is below the 30% mark and has stubbornly stayed there ever since.*
So that's what I found. Let me know what you think in the comments, or carry on reading to find out the details of the data collection, including some known flaws.
In my next post, which will follow shortly, I'll be breaking the data down by themes and looking at things like whether licensed sets are more specialised than non-licensed.
Update: Another flaw, which I just noticed as a result of the very first comment, is that older versions of basic bricks end up counting as specialised because they were phased out before having the chance to appear in lots of themes. I think this accounts for the unusually high proportions of specialised bricks and sets in the 50's and 60's. Luckily, since Bricklink appears to have labelled these older versions in a consistent way ('[item #]old'), this should be reasonably simple to fix.
To some extent this error actually cancels out some of the error from double counting counterparts mentioned below, since in sets where less common older bricks appear as counterparts, they will be cancelled out by the more common versions.
In my last post, you may remember that I found the proportion of basic bricks and plates has fallen over time (in a limited sample of sets). That may seem completely at odds with the results in this post, and may partially be explained by older versions of basic bricks counting as specialised. But I think it's mostly because the definition of specialised in this post is closer to the AFOL's definition ('can't be used for anything else') rather than the traditionalist's definition ('isn't a cuboid brick or rectangular plate').
All data was collected from Bricklink using a web scraping program I wrote in Python. I'm happy to share the code, but be warned that it isn't pretty. A lot of the flaws below could probably be fixed with smarter web scraping, but I'm not willing to spend huge amounts of time figuring it out in the near future. If anyone reading is good at Python and/or web-scraping and would be willing to help out, let me know, and I'll make the code public so we can all work together on improving it.
The data is not weighted by the number of each part in the set. So if a set contains one specialised part and fifty 2x4 bricks, it still counts as 50% specialised. To be honest, I did this because it made the data scraping easier. I'm happy to discuss how this will have affected the results in the comments, but if you want it done differently you'll have to help me rewrite the code!
I removed all sets that Bricklink puts in the Duplo category, as well as any set with Duplo in its name (this catches educational Duplo sets and the like). While Duplo bricks are compatible with normal Lego bricks, they never show up in any Lego sets, so Duplo sets always come out as 100% specialised and skew the data. Contrast with Technic, which shows up in normal Lego sets all the time.
I also excluded any set with less than 10 types of part, to get rid of the majority of little promo sets and advent calendar builds etc.
The parts counted are anything in a set's Bricklink inventory that Bricklink defines as a part. Which is to say any part whose catalogue entry has a URL including P=[part number]. This excludes minifigs (deliberately) but unfortunately doesn't exclude stickers or counterparts. Again this is something that I found too complicated to fix, and since stickers and counterparts rarely make up a huge proportion of a set's parts, it hopefully doesn't affect the data too much.
One final flaw I only spotted after digging into the data for my next post is that if a part appears twice in the same set in multiple colours then it will count once for every colour. So if a set has 20 different types of part and 3 of them are the same specialised part in 3 different colours then, assuming no other specialised parts or colour variations, the proportion will be 3/22, rather than the 1/20 I'd prefer. I don't think it will have made any difference to the overall trends however.
I think that's all that needs mentioning - if you want more details, just ask.
* Amazing, right? I randomly chose 25% of categories as the threshold and it just turned out that this squared very nicely with recent averages being below 30% specialised. I definitely didn't try out a few different thresholds on a sample of recent sets until I found one that placed the average just below 30%. No siree!

SPOKANE, Wash. - The Santa Clara University women's soccer team captured its third straight West Coast Conference title with a 5-1 victory over Gonzaga this afternoon at Martin Field in Spokane, Wash. Freshman forward Tina Estrada scored two goals to lead the Broncos to their seventh overall league championship with an undefeated 6-0-1 conference mark. It marked SCU's fourth undefeated conference season in the league's 12-year history. Santa Clara also improves to 12-3-5 overall. Gonzaga ends its season with its best overall (11-8-0) and league (3-4-0) records in conference history.
Junior Leslie Osborne crossed the ball in to freshman midfielder Tiffany Roberts to score the first goal for Santa Clara in the 16th minute. Roberts' header went past Bulldog goalkeeper Ashley Haugen for Roberts' fourth goal of the season.
Junior Bree Horvath gave Santa Clara the two-goal advantage as she took a shot from seven yards out in the 23rd minute to claim her unassisted goal. Horvath's fifth goal of the season gave the Bronco's a 2-0 lead at intermission.
In second-half action, Gonzaga held off the Santa Clara offense until the 70th minute, when Osborne scored her team-leading 11th goal of the season with a header off of senior forward Kristi Candau's corner kick.
Estrada began her scoring run in the 77th minute, as she found a shot from nine yards out from redshirt freshman midfielder Bonnie Bowman. Just six minutes later, Bowman again found Estrada, who shot from 10 yards out and gained the 5-0 lead. Estrada now has six goals on the season.
Despite the overwhelming offensive attacks of the Broncos, Gonzaga senior Patty Blankenship scored her first collegiate goal in her final collegiate contest from six yards out. Annie Hawkins was credited with the assist as she passed it to an open Blankenship on the left side of the net for the final score, 5-1.
The Broncos dominated the game as they out-shot Gonzaga 17-3, with 11 corner kicks to the Bulldogs' 1. Haugen tallied seven saves for the Zags, while first-half goalkeeper Julie Ryder made one save for the Broncos.
ESPNews will broadcast the selection show for this year's NCAA Championship on Monday, November 10 at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. The Broncos will begin their quest for national bragging rights and aim for their third straight College Cup appearance--and 10th overall--when the NCAA Championship begins the weekend of Nov. 14. Individual schools will host the first through fourth rounds, with the 22nd annual College Cup being hosted by North Carolina State University and the Capital Area Soccer League in Cary, N.C., on Dec. 5 and 7.

Who should Arsenal start in attack against Villa?/
Along with the mercurial Jack Wilshire, Carlos Vela remains the stand-out individual from Tuesday night's Carling Cup win.
The Mexican hitman had whetted our appetites already with his fine performance against Sheffield United, and it seems only a matter of time before he is considered a regular in the first team squad.
One report today from someone at Osasuna said he has to work on his consistency, and I noted a significant drop in his involvement after he missed a great chance midway through the first half, denied by Chris Kirkland as he tried to go round the Wigan goalkeeper.
But the way he took his goal in the second half was actually quite predictable, given that he did something similar against the Blades, and it underlines what a special player we have on our hands.
No wonder Arsène Wenger thinks he is such a prospect.
Continues to Poll...
On reflection, although I still think Nic Bendtner could have done more with the chances he had against M*nure last Saturday, I agree that he did cause some problems and held the ball up pretty well.
It's arguable whether Manu Adebayor would have done much better, given how much his form dropped in recent weeks – and the break for injury will hopefully re-ignite that determination in him that we saw when he first arrived.
Vela has already shown in cameos that he has what it takes to cope in the Premier League, though Wenger is notoriously slow in giving young prodigies too many opportunities.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger reverts to the formation we used last weekend, with Bendtner being supported by Abou Diaby.
But Aston Villa have lost their last two Premier League games and, with John Carew struggling, may use Gabriel Agbonlahor as a lone striker with Ashley Young playing a supporting role.
The best way to counter that would be to attack and keep the Villa midfield and defence pinned back.
I would love Wenger to be brave and give Vela a starting berth alongside Bendtner, but I can't see it happening.
Sadly, despite scoring two goals, I don't think Jay Simpson has a future at Arsenal. He took his chances well and has the pace and strength to make a great career for himself.
Maybe he has the same prospects as Bendtner but I have a strong feeling that Wenger doesn't fancy him. He hasn't even featured on the bench for us this season and I wouldn't be surprised if the Carling Cup simply serves as a shop window for him.
Remember Anthony Stokes scoring goals every week when he went on loan to Scotland? He was quickly shipped out to Sunderland. Scotland isn't the same as England and Simpson was player of the Year when he played for Millwall last season, but I don't think Wenger is convinced.
Remember, Simpson only got his chance because Adebayor and RvP are out, meaning added game time for Bendtner. When Eduardo is back as well in a month, is he going to be happy as sixth choice striker behind Vela as well?
Who do you think should start in attack against Villa?

Op to sideline Fabianski for season
Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is set to miss the rest of the season as he requires surgery on a damaged shoulder.
• Wenger slams Blues transfer hypocrisy
Fabianski broke down with the problem during a warm-up ahead of Arsenal's match with Manchester City on January 5 and has been sidelined ever since.
And now the 25-year-old Poland international's campaign appears to be over after finally establishing himself as Arsene Wenger's first choice goalkeeper.
"The doctors expect me to take a long break," Fabianski said. "But we'll see if that will happen."
Fellow Pole Wojciech Szczesny will now get the chance for an extended run in the first team, and the young keeper admits he had a hand in causing Fabianski's injury.
Speaking to sports.pl, Szczesny said: "I was warming Fabian up before the game with Manchester City and I took a very powerful shot. He made a beautiful save but also got an injury. I didn't do it on purpose, I was just doing my job.
"I feel stupid about it. I even told him it would have been better if he didn't save that shot. I take advantage of my team-mate's misfortunes."
At his press conference on Thursday morning, Wenger confirmed the news.
"We had bad news for Lukasz Fabianski because he needs surgery on his shoulder," he said. "He has decided after having seen a few specialists that he will have surgery in Germany.
