The Hawks will face the world's third-best player in Round 1, and it was only three seasons ago that Dwyane Wade willed the Miami Heat to a championship. Do the Hawks worry he might pull a Dallas-in-the-finals on them?
Said Al Horford: "Yeah, I do."
Said Mike Woodson: "Sure you worry about that. The great ones find a way. That's something we think about quite often."
Said Josh Smith: "He's one of the game's greats, but I don't worry about that. I don't think that way."
As majestic as Wade can be, the Hawks have one of the world's best dozen players themselves, and Joe Johnson tends to rise to most moments. In the first three games against Miami this season, Johnson scored only 16 fewer points than the league's leading scorer, and he did it while taking eight fewer shots. And Johnson's team won two of the three.
"It's a challenge," Johnson said, speaking of playing against the exalted likes of Wade and Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. "We play pretty much the same position. I have to guard those guys, and they have to guard me."
The Heat was in town Tuesday for a playoff preview that wasn't a preview. (When Wade doesn't play and Speedy Claxton does, you know it's garbage time.) This game meant nothing. The games that begin this weekend will tell us if the Hawks are as good as they've seemed these past six months.
"I know what we're capable of," Johnson said. "We can't come out hoping we're going to win. We have to come out knowing we're good."Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Although Woodson still describes his as "a young team," Miami is the club that figures to show its tender years in the postseason. Two key Heaters – guard Mario Chalmers and sixth man Michael Beasley – are rookies, albeit good ones. All contributing Hawks, by way of contrast, have experienced the playoffs before, and six of the top eight were part of the thrill-ride against Boston last spring.
"That [series] taught us how to play playoff basketball," Woodson said, and we're about to see if that's true. The Hawks seized on that Celtics experience to move from the No. 8 seed a year ago to No. 4 this time, and that's a major consideration. They'll have four games of the best-of-seven at Philips Arena, and we all know the Hawks – pause for effect – have never lost a postseason game on this hallowed hardwood.
And the wondrous Wade? Well, the Hawks have precisely the defenders to bother him – big, quick wingers to run at him with shot-blockers looming underneath. (Wade averaged 30.2 points this season, but only 25.7 in those three games against Atlanta.) As John Crotty, the Heat's radio analyst, noted Tuesday: "Dwyane had 55 against the Knicks last week and [it was almost like] he didn't take a jump shot. He just got to the rim. It's harder to do that against the Hawks."
Wade will have his moments, but not enough. These Hawks have been too adroit for too long to trip over Round 1. Said Smith: "The way it ended last year left a sour taste in our mouths. We want to write an even better story this year."
The belief here is that they will. Hawks in six.

Man, these Hawks gonna take it to da rim like cherry pie, know what im sayin? d-wade? more like medicaid…know what im saying? the heat gonna be tripped up like a duck in some applesauce, like a tuna in a tootsie roll, like scooby doo in a loop-d-loo baby! know what im sayin?

1st write up I ever posted on. Below is my post on Sekou's blog a few seconds ago. And I don't agree about your outlook on Wade's outfit.
Dwayne Wade looks like an old, English professor in those suits he wears. They got funny colors, probably has elbow patches, and those weird bow ties. Wade needs a fashion consultant!
Gardner just had another steal.
Hawks full bench playing against Heat's bench. Hawks winning so far, so the bench cancels out. Leaving the starters, where Heat has Wade, O'Neal, and maybe Chambers. Hawks have Bibby, JJ, Marvin of Mo, Josh and Horford. I will take our lineup anytime.

dwade is a star but he is going to need help, they can win a game or two but not a series, i hope super mario gets some minutes to go against wade, i think we just match up nice with them overall, hawks will take this in 5

I agree about Beasley… he's killed the Hawks the last two times he's played them, and if Miami has any chance of pulling off an upset it will be because he steps up and becomes a reliable #2 scorer for them. The Hawks have to find an answer for him. They will win this series pretty easily if they can shut down everyone else and let D-Wade get his, but if players like Chalmers or Beasley step up this series will be tough.
April 14th, 2009

I was at that game! It was awesome! Anybody (Mark Bradley?) hear anything about Thomas Dimitroff or Arthur Blank being at this game? I was sitting in the lower part of the upper level, and two guys came and sat down besides me that I swear looked almost just like Dimitroff and Blank, but i couldn't tell. It was probably just a coincidence, but just wondering if anyone heard that they were there.

Hawks can use mario west as a point defender if they wanted he seems to be a defensive stopper when tha hawks need it. hawks in 5 .. they dont have a answer 4 josh smith…..
April 15th, 2009
2:15 am
I think Miami is in huge trouble. The Hawks have a wide array of quality defenders to throw at Wade. The rest of his team is a D-League operation. I'm not one to overstate how good the Hawks are but I think this matchup is damn near ideal.
Also, notice the number of minutes West is getting lately? I have a feeling they are getting him ready for real minutes hounding Wade. Can't wait to watch him get up in his chin.

Mark, is it just my own oversight, or is there no AJC coverage of last night's Hawks-Heat game? I had to go to ESPN.com to get the story. Is this a symptom of the AJC's financial trouble? Whatever the case, I hope at least the sports page and you stay in business! We cross-Pacific expats from Atlanta depend on you.

WADE is angry that he is "the world's third best player." Why on Earth would you call him that? Why fuel his fire? Have you seen him play when he's mad? That's when he drops 50 pts and 11 assists.

They gonna be calling Atlanta Wade County when this series ends. No what I'm saying merbertmoover?. Wade was special this season and should get the MVP, but when the playoffs come, that's when he is going to give you his masterpiece. Put your seat belts on ATL. It's going to be a rough ride. Go Heat!!!!
April 15th, 2009

"So, Mr. Wade, your assessment of the regular season?
"I'm still angry," Wade said.
"Keep doubting me," Wade said. "Keep doubting us. Keep doubting our team. I like that."

Mr. Bradley
You are in sane the hawks will lose in 5 games D-Wade will destroy them The lack of knowledge you and Terrence More have is incredible!!! You have NEVER played a pro sport but know everything!! You are worse than Ol Man Bisher all of you need to resign you all suck!!!
April 15th, 2009

D-wade can score of course no doubt about that. but what about tha rest of tha team ..? he been on a roll this past month but he would need 55 points in every game this series just for tha heat to be in it.. The hawks can beat the heat at home .. can the heat beat the hawks in phillps ?? NO!!!

Hey Y'all:
Here we go!! THE PLAYOFFS. This is the start of ROUND 1 on Saturday for the NBA Championship of the World. Our Hawks are in great shape for the fight. We are ready to go toe to toe and have the artillery to be real nasty in this one. We have the youth, the girth, the heart, the players , and the charisma to take the belt of "CHAMPION". We have run our course this year of having a great home court record and improved on our road record. We were young last year. But this year, we are stil young but better with new and improved players. Our record attest to that. We are ready for the fight! We are digging in! We are chomping at the bits for Saturday to start the leather to popping the nets. It is on!! Our Hawks will be rested to challenge for the NBA Championship of the WORLD. And guess what? We haven't even done the "SHUFFLE" yet. It is time to show how hungry we are for this time of the year because it is our q"uest for the brass ring. itis our quest for the "Championship." ANd there are people in our way to get our prize.
April 15th, 2009
10:34 am
This is a bad matchup for the Hawks. Thankfully, tubby smith is not coaching the Hawks like in 2003 vs Marquette……………….
The Hawks should be able to win the home games which would give them the advantage but D Wade is the "X" facto that could pull off a win in ATL. The Hawks have been opossum on the road.
We will see. At least they are in versus wondering about which ping pong ball they were going to get.
April 15th, 2009
12:08 pm
These Miami fans are crazy….obviously they are like the rest of the star-crossed people who think that one great person can beat a balanced TEAM in the playoffs!
First of all, this is a bad matchup for Miami, because they won't be able to slow down the game in the half-court against a much more athletic Hawks team. Atlanta has been able to use their wing defenders to keep Wade away from the basket as much as possible.
I will admit this, if Atlanta is not careful Jermaine O'Neal could make life difficult for Horford and Zaza should they sleep on him in the paint. That said, Miami has no answer for Josh Smith and he will go wild on Beasley and Bibby will key the offense.
I see Atlanta winning this series in six.
April 15th, 2009
12:41 pm
Don't sleep on the Heat! We have work our tail off at home to keep Wade from stealing one of our home games! If that happens we will be in trouble on the road. Games 1 & 2 are crucial for Hawks success in this round.
We should also take note, that D-Wade does have help. O'Neal at center give them an inside scoring presence, ( were he in a Hawks uniform we would welcome him with open arms), so there is quality there. Mario Moon is D-Wade's (Robin, if Wade is Batman), dude flies thru the air and throws down on lob passes. They also have their Mario version, he just happens to play point guard, which we have not had an answer for a quick point all year (Example Rajon Rondo from last year), watch Chalmers end up at the rim on a consistent basis. They have a rebounder in Haslem, which creates second chance shots and a young slasher in Beasley, who if on, is a ligimate 2nd option….my point is don't think this is a One Man Band…just D-Wade.
If they don't DEFEND they go home…because Woody will not be able to outwit this young upstart coach of the Heat. Woody still at this late date does not know how to make in game adjustments…..regardless of our increase win total & 2nd trip to the playoffs!!

First, Joe Johnson is not one the best dozen players in the world. If you check out Hollingers PER Player Rankings hes not in the top 50 haha.
If cook, chalmers, janes, and moon consistently hit the 3 ball the haet will win easily.
April 15th, 2009
5:39 pm
Bradley, did you play ball competetively at all? If so, where? I would certainly like to know. Your credibility is suspect at best. Thos who can do, while those who never did write about it. Hey, were you and Terrence Moore teammates?
April 15th, 2009
5:39 pm
Full disclosure: I'm a Heat fan. Our team has been very inconsistent so far, but there's been flashes. Some nights its very true that Wade is the whole team. But our young guys do play better at home, and so does D-Wade. Especially in the 4th. So you better protect that homecourt advantage. Lebron will be named MVP soon and Wade will be… um… unhappy… about it, no matter what he says publicly. He wants a shot at Lebron head to head in the second round. You guys are in the way of that. Oh, and Beasley is averaging 25 pts and 13 rebounds in the last 4 games. Jamal Magliore will be a factor in this series behind O'Neal, who admittedly has been disappointing. I actually like the Hawks alot. Went to both games this year vs. Atlanta. Too bad we can't meet up later in the playoffs. Either way, should be fun. May the best team win…
April 15th, 2009
5:59 pm
Oh and I have my tickets for game 3 already. You better believe I'm looking for D-Wade to D-rail the Hawks!
April 15th, 2009
6:00 pm
Oh! Who's old enough to remember the last time we met in the playoffs. That was fun! The bench clearing brawl. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of clips from that series in the next few days.
April 15th, 2009
8:59 pm
Wade is not enough to win the series.
Chalmers will have to play well above his head.
Cook and Quinn will have to hit many 3s.
Beasley will have to be a 20/10 guy.
O'Neal will have to show us that he's been playing possum.
That's how Miami wins, with Jamario Moon chipping in some superb defense.
Otherwise….we're the better team, period.
Oh, and Spoelstra will have to throw wrinkles at us that Woody has trouble adjusting to.
Hmmm…that last one bothers me…
April 15th, 2009
10:03 pm
I think comparing johnson to tracy mcgrady is a fair assessment. Until he wins a few playoff series he will never be considered the superstar that you think he is.
April 16th, 2009
12:39 am
People don't realize how legitimate this Hawks team is right now… So much of the national media only focuses on D.Wade, therefor causing some people (commentators) to foolishly believe that the guy can "walk on water" and single-handedly win a 7 game series the Hawks (a much better team).
I also think that the lack of respect from the national media stems from the preseason predictions that were made…Now that the national media and certain commentators see that their predictions were foolish, no one wants to eat their words now…
April 16th, 2009
8:28 am
Love Hawks talk but staying on point was never my strong suit. Which is a segue to…
1) I'd like to see former Hawks/UGA player Dominique Wilkins considered by Mark Fox as a UGA assistant. I never advocated anyone as a head coach when Damon Evans was making his selection. (I figured Evans would make a solid — if not spectacular — selection, and Fox has more upside than not.)
About Wilkins: Yes, he's short a few Kemp Kilowatts of a UGA diploma, and he lacks serious coaching experience. But he knows bb and what metro high school coach wouldn't hang up with someone else to answer his call? Sure he's been out of the league a while but he still has the cachet to command the attention of current recruits. That's all I have to say on the subject. Leading to…
2) Sometimes people face adversity and it overwhelms them. Sometimes it absolutely makes them implode and ultimately destroys them. Other times — it's a wake up call leading to redemption.
Isaiah Thomas was a disaster as an NBA head coach. He was ineffective. Worse, he shamed his employer with a sexual harassment fiasco and he shamed his family. That said, it's a good sign that Zeke has landed at Florida International, and is coaching there pro bono. I'm not cynical enough to think he's trying to rehabilitate his public image. I'd like to think he's trying to do what he loves for the right reasons.
April 16th, 2009
9:30 am
These Heat fan flames and the national media are simply braindead. I agree with ATLsouthside that the "experts" want to validate their preseason predictions by showing that the Hawks were an 82-game fluke. They keep saying that we "started strong" and have faded since. Not true! We've had ups and downs, but we finished with some strong stretches (notably that long home stand). The Heat are much improved from last year, but they're still the far inferior team in this matchup. Wade may be the best player on the floor, but, as with KG in Minnesota, that won't carry you through a playoff series.
Hawks take care of business at home, take either game 3 or 4, then close out the series in game 5. (Then on to the slaughterhouse known as Quicken Loans Arena, sigh)…
April 16th, 2009
10:21 am
I'm ready for the Cleveland v. Atlanta match-up… I think we can hang with Cleveland… Of course the media will right us off, but they've been doin that the entire season. If you look at all the games against Cleveland, they were all close games… I think we can steal a few in Quicken Loans Arena

Let's reward long term thinking.
I'm tired of disasters occurring because of short term gains. Surely we ingest pollutants for short term gains, we lose jobs for quarterly gains and not decade gains and growth.
How can we increase the incentives associated with long term goals, planning, and larger rewards. Although I understand some long term goals don't reward as well or as quickly, but what can we change about our thinking to choose the long term goals, to choose to benefit ourselves and others.

Jul 20 2012: Myf. You're first response was just as revealing as your second.
It's fine! Honestly, it made me realize a few things:
1) In order to incentivize long term thinking, we have to teach it
2) Reflective behavior can sometimes limit one's ability to look forward
3) If we spent all the time planning, would we get anywhere?
4) You're right, we tend to not think about long term consequence of our actions, but sometimes in doing so, we create something that changes everything in ways we never thought could.
Your comments made me realize I have to stop popping people with hindsight and instead of saying I told you so, start asking, "Well. Now that this has happened, what can we do to prepare in the future? What should we look for next? How do we plan better?" etc.
Both responses, edited and non were perfect for me and made me think more. ::laughs:: Admittedly, I felt like a twat at first, but chewing on both allowed me to think. So, props to you Myf! You're awesome and I genuinely mean that!

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
Sixteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Aug. 6 through Aug. 12)
Date of News Release: 08/13/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 16 people died in 14 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 12, 2007.
Twelve of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and six of the victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one of the victims is unknown at this time. One of the fatalities was the result of a crash that involved the suspected use of alcohol. Four of the victims were operating motorcycles and three were not wearing helmets.
One double-fatality crash was reported in Hardin County and one in Henderson County. Two single- fatality crashes occurred in Oldham County and two in Russell County. Single-fatality crashes also occurred in Boone, Calloway, Hardin, Mason, Perry, Pulaski, Taylor and Wolfe counties.
Through Aug. 12, preliminary statistics* indicate that 524 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is 27 fewer than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 420 motor vehicle fatalities, 239 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 65 motorcycle fatalities, 39 were not wearing helmets. Of the 19 ATV fatalities, 15 were not wearing helmets. Nineteen pedestrians and one bicyclist have been killed. A total of 121 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Adorable Animal Being Adorable of the Day: Chris and Sandra sent TDW a charming email — "Only In Africa!" — complete with pic, about their friends' encounter with a real-life Pumbaa:
They had been away at a game park and on the first evening, while sitting in front of the fire in the bar, in walked a fully grown warthog. He walked over to the bar and without a word the bar man handed him a pillow.
He took the pillow in his mouth, dropped it next to the fire and promptly lay down with his head on the pillow and went to sleep where, apparently he spends the cold nights.
In the morning he's off into the bush again! My friend says that if the barman isn't there, he'll just grab a pillow off one of the couches!
Hard to say whether it's real, but here's hoping.
[thanks, chris & sandra!]

6 investing lessons I learned in kindergarten
These pieces of advice I got from my mother at age 5 completely changed my life.
When I went to kindergarten, it didn't take me long to get in trouble.
Ever Notice how some folks win the Lottery and or Play Sports yet are broke so quickly. So first things first, learn to control your spending and stay away from the Keeping up with the Jones. Of course, diversifying your skill sets always helps. Being a one trick pony can trap you longer term. Skills sets by the way, which are not only in demand now, but are so in the future.
Once you have put away enough CASH for a Rainy Day and have in place sound Discipline in dealing with everyday finances, only then can you start to consider investments. First rule is this, YOU CAN LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENTS IN STOCKS. Don't let folks try to scare you into stocks. You are not in some freaking Contest to prove yourself to others. It's your Life, not theirs.
Education, the more you read and understand about Stock Markets, the more informed choices you can make. Are there folks that are a Natural at it, sure. However, don't ever rely on you being so lucky. Never stop educating yourself about the Markets. Admit that you can be wrong and admit that you made a mistake. Nothing wrong with correcting mistakes. However there is totally something wrong in turning a minor Mistake into a far bigger one.
The Bigger the Risk, the Bigger the Reward, the bigger the possible failure. Understand what the risks are before you leap. IN the end, no broker, posters, or Website will refund money lost in the Stock Markets. You have to live with your choices, not them. What works for them, might not work for you. At the end of the Day, NextTimeUp made one very important observation, Capital Preservation.
I find it very difficult to have a gain of 10% "across the board" in dividends, and still be diversified.?
With the mixes we have, it's comfortable to realize maybe up around 6%, even close to 6.5-7% on a stretch....But going much higher, always seems to lock you into a few or couple Sectors..
There may be some hi-flier MFs that can offer higher paybacks, but again the "specific sector syndrome".
We don't invest in MFs nor ETFs....So maybe we should ??
But am happy with our diverse selections of about 20-25 positions.

|Wattle Point Wind Farm, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia
2012 was a sunset spectacular supreme – over 5 months road-tripping through 4 of the 6 Australian mainland states. And the Silver Bullet has racked up over 30,000 km since we bought it in February ...
So with the last sunset of 2012 only a few hours away, I reflect on the superb sunsets of 2012, and select the most superior for my 2012 Australian travel retrospective!
1 Wattle Park Wind Farm, South Australia
Sometimes inanimate objects make the best props, with the contrast of dark silhouettes against brilliant swirls of sunset colour requiring only a click to get a killer shot.
My favourite kind!
These wind turbines at the Wattle Creek Wind Farm on South Australia's Southern Yorke Peninsula obligingly faced the right way as the sun sank spectacularly behind them.

|River Murray, Waikerie, South Australia
2 Murray River, Waikerie, South Australia
Luckily, I had plenty of disc space on my camera – and a fully charged battery – as I watched colours changing over the Murray, part of Australia's largest river system, while the sun set behind me.
River town Waikerie (rhymes with 'Bakery' and is home of the great Waikerie Bakery) is an excellent base to explore the eclectic delights of the Riverland region.But after a hard day sampling local produce, birdwatching at Gluepot Station, visiting the historic Overland Corner pub, walking the town or catching the view from atop the mighty Murray cliffs, unwinding by the river while watching the ferry crossing as the sun sets is unbeatable.

|Lake Lascelles, Hopetoun, Victoria
3 Lake Lascelles, Hopetoun, Victoria
I lucked out with an awesome sunset in the Victorian Mallee as the clouds formed unbelievable designs through which the setting sun reflected on Lake Lascelles' mirrored surface.
Our campsite on the lake's shore was perfectly positioned to catch it all. I've already worked the shots I took that evening into my blog – but there are still more I'm yet to use.
Seeing more of this spot on my blog in 2013 is what they call in the blogosphere a 'sure thing'!

|Cadney Park, South Australian Outback
4 Cadney Park Homestead, South Australia
It takes a couple of days to reach the Northern Territory border after travelling north through the South Australian Outback, and knowing how far to the next available fuel is essential.
One of the pit-stops is Cadney Park, a station with a roadhouse, accommodation and caravan park in the middle of nowhere.
There's nothing to hem in a sunset with these wide open spaces – except the telecommunications tower! I could have shot around it, but it's vital to this remote outback oasis so it deserves to stay.
Don't you think?

|Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu), Northern Territory
5 Devils Marbles, Northern Territory
Amazingly, the actual setting of the sun is the least spectacular point of interest in the panorama of the Devils Marbles at sunset. The colours of the rock grow richer, shadows longer and the backdrop of the marvellous sky darker as the sun sinks into oblivion behind.
The campground at the base of the Devils Marbles – or Karlu Karlu as the local indigenous people know it – makes taking awesome sunset and sunrise shots pleasurably convenient.
Even if every other visitor to this beautiful spot has the same shots!

|Looking towards Kununurra over Lily Lagoon, Western Australia
6 Kununurra, Western Australia
The best sites at the Lakeside Resort and Tourist Park are at the waters edge. They're also the least desirable to the Grey Nomads who make up most of the park's clientele as they have neither power nor water. This meant we could take our pick.
Praise be!
Our massive site on the edge of Lily Lagoon gave us uninterrupted sunset spectaculars across the lake to Kununurra, And in the sunset's light, a red glow from the eyes of the lagoon's many crocodiles!

|Five Rivers Lookout, Wyndham, Western Australia
7 Five Rivers Lookout, Wyndham, Western Australia
Watching the sun set over Cambridge Gulf, into which five rivers flow makes Wyndham the site of one of Australia's most spectacular lookouts.
There's standing room only at the viewing platform atop the aptly named Bastion during peak tourist season, but hey! I know what MY elbows are for!!
Philip Peter King, who named the Bastion, is arguably Australia's best explorer, but is also one of Australia's least known. Why? Because he survived! Go figure!!
The Five Rivers – the Ord, Pentecost, Forrest, Durack and King (named for the explorer) – can all be seen from the lookout, but the whole of the magnificent panorama is just a little distracting ...

|Derby Jetty, Western Australia
8 Derby Jetty, Western Australia
Watching the sun set over water doubles its effect. And an inanimate object or two makes the shot even more dramatic.
But combine both these variables with the biggest tides in the Southern Hemisphere? Lets just say I could have filled this whole post – and several like it – with sunset shots from the Derby Jetty.
The dramatic effect of an 11+ metre tidal range can best be measured against the wharf, set on pylons over 12 metres above the floor of King Sound. While we only saw a baby 10.83 metre tide, and tides are only 9th highest in the world (go visit Saucy Kod for scenes of the Bay of Fundy, world's highest) it's an unbelievably awesome backdrop to the jaw-dropping sunsets.

|Sunset at Gantheaume Point, via Broome, Western Australia
9 Gantheaume Point, via Broome, Western Australia
Red rock, blue sea, endless blue sky. Dinosaur footprints on the rocks far below the lighthouse. Fishing, boating, birdwatching. A steady stream of travellers and locals exploring, swimming, gathering.
Gathering to watch the sun set over the sea – a sight so stupendous all other activity ceases.
Why do we travel?
This is why!

|Waters of Shark Bay, Western Australia
10 Shark Bay, Western Australia
The little fishing village of Denham, where we stayed in Australia's westernmost caravan park, has more to offer than meets the eye.
Of course attractions like the dolphins of Monkey Mia and Eagle Bluff, plunging down into the wildlife-infested green sea below are well known.
But the simple pleasures – like wandering along the foreshore watching the fishing boats come and go while the sun sinks into the water leaving a trail of glitter on the waves – are what will bring us back!
That, and the bakery!!

|Rainbow at Carnamah, Western Australia
11 Carnamah, Western Australia
The day doesn't always end with a glorious red sunset when we're on the road. And it didn't in Carnamah, a little town in the middle of the Western Australian wheatbelt.
AND wildflower belt!
A storm was brewing as we returned to the Carnamah Caravan Park after a tough day in the wildflower-viewing trenches. And as the sun set, the lowering clouds lit up to form a rainbow's perfect arch.
We took it as a sign to stay the extra day it took to uncover the best wildflowers we'd ever seen at nearby Tathra National Park!! No pot of gold – or was there???

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (161 votes).
In short: Very well organised friendly race.In full: Organisation was spot on. Mile markers were easily visible.Lots of encouraging marshalls and groups of locals who kindly turned out to offer support. Personally I prefer a one lap course but it was good to see that the problem with the underpass has been sorted out this year. I'll be back again next year. Thanks PPDate of review: September 9, 2013
In short: Superb event from Purple PatchIn full: Great race all around, pancake flat, great crowds this year, super-slick registration and race village etc. There have been some teething problems in the previous years, but this is a seriously good event now, fault free in my book. If only I was a little fitter!!!Sign me up for next time :-)Date of review: September 9, 2013
In short: brilliantIn full: very well organised , easy to see where to start lots of loos (important to me lol )the marshals were fantastic & also the residents were out to support you with jelly beans !!!I don't understand the negative comments im not sure what people expect sometimes !! I got a pb & a medal well happy Date of review: September 9, 2013
In short: Ah well, we're all different.In full: Third time of doing the MHM for me. Always found it first class, and this year was no exception. Distance markers came thick and fast, being in miles and kilometres, and staggered for the two laps. I quite liked this, and found them easy to spot, although as I live a few metres off the course, knew where to expect to see them. Problems with the first underpass which were encountered last year were full addressed. The organisation was faultless, Marshals plentiful, some were more enthusiastic than others, but all were efficient, and helpful. There seemed to be more support from residents than in previous years. Even the weather was just right, and the rain held off 'till on the way home. Only downside, was when my knee gave way at 5 miles, which slowed me down for the remainder of the race. Nothing whatsoever to do with the race of course, and I still managed to finish a little faster than the two previous years. I'll be back!! Thanks to PP, and all marshals and crew.Date of review: September 9, 2013
In short: MehIn full: Highlights: Car parking and bag drop. Cookham.Lows: High percentage of boring town centre and housing estate course, bl***y underpass, nice bit along river cut out of 2nd lap, final kilometre a bit of an obstacle course, bl***y underpass. 'Goody bag' consisted of cup of water and a banana. How long does it take to get results out!?Date of review: September 9, 2013
In short: Lovely flat raceIn full: Excellent organisation, brilliant marshals and a nice flat course in the sunshine, it doesn't get better than that!Date of review: September 8, 2013
In short: Fast and flat and very well organizedIn full: I second the comments below about smooth organization, especially of the baggage stow. A good event although a bit larger than other PP races. The course is flat and with long straight stretches, and distance markers in km and miles. I'd prefer some variety of terrain and incline, though, and the early start means it's the first train of the day from Reading, which can be unreliable. But these are gripes specific to me. Well done PP, another good race added to the local calendar.Date of review: September 8, 2013
In short: Will definitely be back next year....Date of review: September 8, 2013
In short: well organised event on a delightfulkly flat courseIn full: Two laps around Maidenhead starting in the town centre and going around a loop to the north of the town. Extremely well organised, good race village and facilities, and well marshalled. Roads closed to traffic and it's hard to imagine a flatter course. Worth a go!Date of review: September 8, 2013
In short: The perfect race for a PB!In full: Would certainly rate this as one of the best purple patch runs....once again very well organised. My son even took part in the Under 7's race which he really enjoyed! (great idea by PP). Managed a PB myself as well which I was pleased with. Weather was absolutely ideal for running which helped of course!. Will be back again for sure.Date of review: September 8, 2013

Gwinnett County police said Monday that black ice caused a deadly five-car accident on Ronald Reagan Parkway near Five Forks Trickum Road. The accident closed all lanes in both directions for several hours.
Five vehicles were involved in the incident.
Police said a pickup truck was driving alongside a car when the car suddenly slid on black ice and lost control. Both vehicles crossed the median into oncoming traffic.
According to investigators, the pickup driver was killed when his truck slammed into an SUV. Police said his son was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition and the driver of the SUV was also seriously hurt.
"All it takes is a light coating of ice," said Cpl. Edwin Ritter. "You travel around the curve at a high rate of speed, there's a good possibility you're going to lose control."
While police said speed was not a factor in the crash, the speed limit along the highway is 50 mph, which makes it difficult for drivers to slow down quickly when they spot black ice.
"I've lived in this area for 18 years," said Ashley Wallings. "As long as the road's been open, there have been a lot of issues when it is cold after it's been raining, like icy patches."
There are guardrails in the median along some spots of the highway. There are no safety barriers where Monday's accident occurred.
"If they need to be there, we need to put them there," said longtime resident George Cummings. "They tend to put them there after there's a bad accident. That's just the way it works."
CBS Atlanta News contacted Gwinnett County to find out what, if any, safety changes might be made along the highway. Late Monday, the county said it was researching that question.

Cleaning & Organizing
Laminate floor
Since this board is a little slow thought I would ask about this now though it is in the home we won't be at for a couple of months. Just bought house and it has laminate floors. The dog was used to laminate floors but being weird he was afraid of the floors and to get to one room from another he would run like mad without his body moving. Funny to watch.
After a few day I notice scratches on the floor. Laminate should not scratch! I did read that some cleaners leave a residue or it is possible the previous owner waxed it. It was suggested that the only way to remove this is a heat gun and scrapper. If this is true I'm in trouble because I cannot be on my knees that long.
Has anyone run into this problem? What did you do if anything? I cannot think of any other way to remove it if it is wax. Can you?
I had large dogs and laminate. Laminate can scratch. There are other ways to remove the wrong floor product, if that really is the case.
Laminate can definitely scratch. Chip and dent, too. And when it's new(er), it can be pretty darned slippery, too. Given enough time and moppings, the slipperiness gradually ebbs; but when mine was new, I refrained from walking on it in socked feet. I don't have dogs, but have heard plenty of stories about pets who had trouble with the slipperiness of laminates.
So don't assume there is wax on the floor, and be very cautious about using any kind of strong stripper to the floor - which almost surely would destroy a plastic laminate.
Vinegar and water in a spray bottle and a microfiber is all I ever clean our porch laminate with. The vinegar solution may also be a safe remover of any possible wax residue? Quarter of a cup white vinegar for a quart of water is what I mix. At least it won't hurt anything.
I know laminate can scratch as I did it with an unprotected chair leg. I don't know why I said it should not scratch. (Senior moment?). But we had laminate in our last house and my dog, who never walks when he can run, did not scratch that floor. Perhaps this is a lower grade of laminate?
We were only in the house a short time before coming north and I only washed 2, maybe 3 times using a diluted vinegar solution. Since I can't flood it or let any solution sit on it do you think it is possible repeated washing with vinegar (or something else) may help? I have a couple closets I can experiment in.
The reason I think it may be wax or some other surface coating is that when I rubbed a scratch with my finger nail it disappeared though there was a larger different looking area then.
My particular brand of flooring can be washed with ammonia solution, but I suspect not all can. You'd have to know your brand and check with the company. Ammonia should, of course, remove most waxy or greasy finishes.
And yes, the product comes in a bunch of different grades. Some would not be a 'scratchable' as others.
Since I have no way of knowing the brand I will use the information from yours Nettiejay. But I will try it in a closet first so if it dulls the floor it will not be noticeable. Thanks so much.

It looks like Randy didn't pay attention to those orders, though. His rep tells ABC News Radio Randy is doing fine and continuing on with his tour dates. The singer's Thursday show in Ogden, UT has been postponed to April 3, but no other dates were affected.

December 2006 (Palm Springs, Calif.) - In an ongoing series during its 30th anniversary year, the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA) cautions home buyers and sellers, as well as all individuals involved in real estate transactions, that there are myths and misconceptions associated with retaining the services of a professional home inspector. CREIA presents Part Seven of the continuing series "Myths & Realities about Home Inspections".
Myth: Only the home buyer should secure the inspection, a home seller doesn't need to get one.
REALITY: Home sellers are urged to utilize home inspections prior to listing their homes. By securing an inspection prior to placing a home on the market a seller can demonstrate good faith in disclosure, and combat any potential future argument that they were attempting to conceal the condition of the property. A professional "listing inspection" is just good business, it may facilitate a smoother transaction by putting potential buyers at ease, reducing negotiating points, and bypassing annoying or costly delays. However, it is imperative that a seller secures the services of a competent and qualified home inspector. A poor inspection can have a drastic consequence (it could be argued that a poor inspection was recommended for the sole purpose of hiding the true condition of the property).
Myth: A home inspection is not needed in a "sellers' market".
REALITY: It is a grave error for anyone to advise against securing an inspection, regardless of market trends or circumstances. Almost every home, whether newly built or a resale property, has unrevealed or unknown defects awaiting discovery by a qualified home inspector. These may include mere functional problems, such as plumbing leaks or a deteriorated roof, or could be major safety issues inside the electric panel or within the furnace. Anyone who recommends against home inspections is not looking out for the best interests of the parties involved. Where a buyer (or seller) unwisely elects not to secure the services of a home inspector, responsible brokers and agents (to protect themselves in the event of a legal dispute) will require a waiver be signed acknowledging that an inspection was recommended and declined, against the professional advice of the real estate licensee.
Make sure you retain the services of a qualified inspector who is trained and experienced in home inspection. It is also very important that your inspector be a member of a professional association such as CREIA to ensure qualifications and continued education. Since 1976, CREIA, a non-profit voluntary membership organization has been providing education, training, and support services to the real estate inspection profession and to the public. Inspectors must adhere to CREIA's Code of Ethics and follow the Standards of Practice developed and maintained by the Association. These Standards of Practice have been recognized by the State of California, and are considered the source for Home Inspector Standard of Care by the real estate and legal communities.
CREIA requires its members to successfully pass a written test of property systems and complete 30 hours of education each year. Members can accumulate credits through various sources of education including monthly chapter meetings, conferences, and other approved activities. CREIA keeps records to ensure that members are complying with the requirements. Educational topics cover a variety of technical subjects including updates and advances that affect property inspection and the business of real estate inspection.
CREIA is dedicated to consumer protection and education. To locate a qualified CREIA inspector near you click here or call CREIA at (800) 388-8443.

What do you think of the 08 Martins?
What do you think of the 08 Martins?
They will never perform (speed) as they say they will. Martin serves its place in archery and it is not in my house
It's started guys
Martin Makes a nice bow. I really like shooting the Firecat. But I really like My Elites they are smooth and accurate. The Firecat was a little slower. But there coming out with nice stuff.
No ifs and or buts Just maybee.
isnt martin that bow that is sold in discount sporting goods stores?
Sword, Git-A-Grip, Proline Strings
Actually I'm quite impressed. But still wouldn't choose one over an Elite.
Just questioning your post...."Martin rules" please clarify what you are talking about? I know Martin makes a fine bow but if it is your intention, on your first day as a member, to disrupt the harmony of this forum....Please don't.
XLR 60lb
XLR 70lb
Mathews Apex (sale pending)
Hoyt Protec
Suffer from BO-CD!
If you guys take a look at archery talk you will know his intent.Martin really should try to buy Elite out and then they would have something that actually performs.

NEWPORT NEWS -- A family of five was displaced on Saturday after a fire badly damaged their home.
Fire crews responded to the 700 block of 19th Street just before 9:30 a.m. and found a smoke coming from the second floor of a house.
Fire fighters entered the residence and discovered the flames were coming from an upstairs bedroom.
All occupants were able to safely escape the home before fire crews arrived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and the home has been condemned because of the extent of the damage.
The Red Cross is assisting an adult female and four children.

Welcome to the Aromantic Course Zone
Learn to make bespoke natural cosmetics, toiletries and beauty products with our flexible 1-day training modules!
A personal invitation from natural skin care expert Kolbjorn Borseth:
Welcome to the Aromantic Course Zone, where we have made it easier than ever for you to find the course that is perfect for your needs and to book your place online. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned professional I and other industry experts have designed a range of courses covering the different aspects of natural skin care - from treating specific skin or hair conditions and types to making your own natural cosmetic, beauty and aromatherapy products; either professionally or purely for fun as a hobby.
To read Aromantic's Course Policy, click here.
Over the years that I have been running these courses hundreds of people have benefited from the knowledge and experience that I am delighted to share with all of my course participants. Teaching is my passion and it is my personal commitment to empower as many people as possible to be able to make and use natural, non-toxic and affordable skin care products, either for themselves or for their own clients.
Mike Harmon
Mike started teaching many Aromantic's Courses, including our College Courses, soon after he first studied with me about 15 years ago. He also offers consultations via the Aromantic consultancy service.
I continue to be very involved in the design of the course materials and running of the courses, in the Autumn of 2010 I handed over the bulk of the actual course teaching to Mike, who brings his considerable knowledge and positive energy to every course. Course students love Mike's passion for what he is doing and appreciate the depth of his knowledge, not only in many aspects of the natural health field but in the Aromantic way of making products. Mike has a wealth of experience in the complementary therapies; he is a practising Naturopath trained in Clinical Aromatherapy and has continued to add to his therapies over the years with reflexology, iridology, colonic hydrotherapy, various forms of massage and ozone therapy. Aromatherapy has always been, and still is, his first passion.
I am very proud to have Mike on the Aromantic teaching team.
What will you make on our Courses?
On our Courses you will learn to make your own bespoke, natural, safe, cruelty-free, high quality and professional natural skin and hair care products, toiletries and cosmetics. These are just some of the courses to give you an idea of what types of products you'll make. We have other courses, please see 'Full Info' on individual course listings for in-depth information.
Aromantic Courses are a great way to quickly learn how to make products to:
Sell to your therapy or salon clients
If you're an aromatherapist, beautician, salon owner or any other therapist working in the field of complementary therapy, you can tailor-make natural cosmetics specific to your clients' specific needs/skin types and conditions and prescribe and sell to them directly. This add-on service is an excellent way to enhance your practice and to support your clients.
Use at home - for your family and friends
You may wish to be a 'homecrafter' or hobbyist who loves to make natural skin, hair and beauty care products for yourself, your family and friends. For a lot of Aromantic hobbyists, it's very important to them that they are in control of what they and their families put on their skin and hair. You, or one of your family members, may have a skin type or condition that you feel you need to take control of by making your own skin, hair and body care products.
Start or expand a Business
You may be starting from scratch or expanding your business or you may be a hobbyist or therapist who previously sold only to family and friends or therapy clients but now you want to sell to the public. Selling the professional, natural skin, hair and body care products that you have made can be very rewarding, fun and creative as many of my course participants and customers can attest to!
What makes the 'Aromantic way' unique?
We offer flexible training modules
As natural skin care leaders Aromantic offer courses that are flexible 1-day post-graduate training modules to beginners and professionals alike. If you are a qualified complementary or beauty therapist, Aromantic's short courses are an ideal way for you to expand your personal and therapeutic knowledge base, which will enhance your CV, making you more employable and opening up new opportunities. Aromantic, as well as our course designers and facilitators, Kolbjorn Borseth and Mike Harmon are highly regarded globally and we have customers from all over the world attending our courses. Whilst you are of course already qualified in your field to work to industry standards, our flexible training modules will give you a competitive edge.
We teach you how to make high quality professional natural products and then how to tailor-make them for you or your client's unique therapeutic needs
Another aspect of the uniqueness of the Aromantic approach to teaching is that we teach students to make professional-grade natural cosmetics, toiletries and beauty products and then we teach them to tailor-make the recipes by replacing or altering the amount of ingredients used in order to cater for individual therapeutic needs e.g. skin colour, type or condition.
We are on the forefront of natural and organic skin care innovation
We always search for innovative new natural and organic ingredients and make them accessible to our customers in quantities that they can afford. Our recipes only use ingredients that are the best on the market at the time as well as being the most effective for making professional products. This can be a challenge to find that right balance, but it is a challenge that we love! Kolbjorn has designed, developed and tested many thousands of recipes over the years and understands how the ingredients behave under different conditions and in different combinations.
The products made from Aromantic's recipes by our customers, students and Aromantic itself have effectively treated thousands of people suffering from serious skin conditions ranging from acne to eczema, psoriasis, skin scarring and blemishes to skin aging and hair loss.
Not just course providers, not just raw material suppliers
We are also unique in the sense that we help new customers and students through a whole cycle of knowledge sharing (in many different ways) as well as providing the raw materials and ingredients to make use of that new knowledge. We are not just course providers; neither are we simply providers of ingredients or raw materials.
We are passionate about helping you to understand the many benefits of using safe, natural, tailor-made skin care products and to empower you with the secrets that the cosmetic industry don't want you to know.
Aromantic Courses are affordable!
We offer cosmetic insider knowledge at very affordable prices. We are extremely committed to making Aromantic Courses as accessible and affordable as possible to all those who are interested in attending and I'm sure you will agree that the course fees are extremely low. In addition, we offer generous discounts to students, registered unemployed people and UK pensioners receiving Pension Credit, as well as substantial savings with our multi-booking discounts if you book more than one course in a single transaction. We even have extra discounts for products bought on course days.
What participants receive on Aromantic Courses
Aromantic courses are carefully designed to balance theory with the hands-on experience of making your own products. We explain the important principles and theory underpinning each topic and provide each student with comprehensive fact-sheets and recipes as hand-outs during the courses. We demonstrate the precise technique required for making each product before each student has the opportunity to try for themselves.
At the end of each course students are able to take home the products that they have made, as well as all the recipes and information required to continue making these products at home, in their businesses or in their therapeutic practices. Participants on Aromantic courses gain exclusive knowledge and learn many of the 'insider-secrets' of the natural skin-care industry.
There are scheduled sessions where we give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have about making skin care products or treating specific skin conditions and we always strive to give one-to-one support during the courses wherever possible.
Included in the Course Fees are:

How a man's body works
Keeping your sex life going despite cancer treatment
Be sure to ask your doctor or nurse these questions about having sex during and after treatment.
When will it be OK to have sex?
Are there any types of sex I should avoid?
What safety measures do I need to take, and for how long?
What birth control is best for me and how long should I use it?
How might each treatment affect my sex life?
Here are some things to keep in mind.
Learn as much as you can about how your cancer treatment can affect your sex life.
The first thing to do is talk with the members of your health care team about your sex life. You already may have asked about going back to work, eating, or pain. You have just as much right to know the facts about your sex life. When you know what to expect, you can plan how you might handle any problems that come up.
No matter what kind of treatment you have, you'll still able to feel pleasure from touching.
Few cancer treatments damage the nerves and muscles that help you feel pleasure from touch or having orgasm. You may have to change the way it happens, but you still should be able to feel pleasure and be satisfied. The few men whose cancer treatments affect the brain or spinal cord may lose the ability to feel pleasure from sex.
Try to keep an open mind about ways to feel sexual pleasure.
Some couples have a narrow view of what is normal sex. If both partners cannot reach orgasm through sex as they've always done, they feel cheated. But during cancer treatment, there may be times when that kind of sex is not possible. Don't give up just because your usual routine has been changed.
Try to have clear, 2-way talks about sex with your partner.
Keeping each other up to date with what's going on is key. Tell your partner what you learn from your doctor. If you feel weak or tired and want your partner to take a more active role in touching you, say so. If some part of your body is tender or sore, guide your partner's touches to create the most pleasure and avoid pain. Keep in mind that if one person has a sex problem, it affects both of you. It works best when your partner is part of the solution.
Boost your confidence.
Remind yourself about your good qualities. If you lose your hair, you might help yourself to look and feel better by shaving your head with an electric razor. Or try out different kinds of hats to find one you feel comfortable wearing. Or wear nothing on your head if that works for you. Eating right and getting exercise can help keep your body strong and your spirits up. Don't forget to take time to relax – movies, hobbies, or getting outdoors. Do what makes you feel good about yourself. Talk with your cancer team if you think you are depressed or struggling, or if worry is causing problems.
