Despite being at the forefront of hybrids and touchscreen laptops, Lenovo has been surprisingly slow to climb aboard the Chromebook bandwagon before now. Instead, the company has released only a couple of business or education-targeted Chromebooks, leaving mainstream consumer models to Acer, Samsung and others.
The Lenovo N20p and N20 are the first consumer Chromebooks from Lenovo, announced the same day as Intel and Google's May 2014 press event on the future of Chrome OS. The N20p in particular is a second-gen Chromebook, evolving beyond the basic clamshell of the first wave of Chromebooks.
If there's any doubt that Chromebooks are a big business already, just take a look at any list of best-selling laptops. Two of the three most-popular laptops on Amazon right now are Chromebooks (with the top slot occupied by the Asus T100, a Windows hybrid with a Chromebook-like price).
The N20p and N20 both have 11.6-inch 1,366x768 screens, and are reasonably slim for low-cost laptops, at about 18mm thick. The N20p adds a touch screen, a feature found on only a handful of Chromebooks (such as the Acer C720p and Lenovo's own Thinkpad Yoga 11e), and a hinge similar to the one used on the IdeaPad Flex line. That means the display can fold back up to 300 degrees.
That allows you to flip the screen part-way over and use the system in what we like to call a kiosk mode, with the screen pointing toward the user and the keyboard tray hidden from view. You can also flip the entire assembly upside down and use it in a table tent mode.
Missing from this setup, however, is the full 360-degree hinge found on the Yoga line, including the Chrome OS Chromebook Yoga 11e. Having used both Flex and Yoga systems extensively, I can say that the Flex-style 300-degree hinge always feels half-finished in comparison, and I have yet to discern a reason, aside from creating separate price structures, for the Flex or N20p hinges not to fold all the way back.

Having a touch screen on the N20p version certainly makes it more modern-feeling and there are uses for it, but at the same time, Chrome OS is not designed with touch in mind in the same way that Windows 8 is (or Google's other OS, Android). It will be interesting to see how Google or Chromebook makers try and adjust the OS to make better use of touch.
The N20, starting at $279, will be available in July, with the $329 N20p following in August.

Toronto After Dark, Day 2: Crave
Somewhere inside, everyone has an idea of who they feel they should be. Life does not always pan out as we intend; perhaps we are not bold enough, perhaps we are not strong enough. What if these visions of the road not taken began to haunt our every dream? What would then happen if we threw caution to the wind and followed these thoughts? More importantly, what would happen if we didn't?
Aiden (Josh Lawson) is a crime scene photographer grappling with these questions in Crave, a vengeance-fantasy-slash-character-study from director Charles de Lauzirika. His day job has left him feeling powerless, disconnected, and desperate to regain control of his life. Two paths lay before him: to escape into a normal life with his lovely neighbour Victoria (Emma Lung) or embrace his dark fantasies and fight back against the evil he sees all around him.
How this plays out proves to be unexpected at times, which keeps things interesting. There are some pacing issues throughout, particularly in the second half, and Aiden makes a number of seemingly random decisions for someone whose head we spend a lot of time in.
However, with a good mix of dark and light comedy, slick noir-inspired styling, and some great acting and chemistry, Crave makes for a solid psychological thriller. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Hushamok: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
by POPSUGAR Moms 16 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The Hushamok baby hammock ($430) has garnered all kinds of adoration from the interior design world for its unusual shape, but I can't help but wonder if it's too modern for most baby rooms.
It was designed to appear "womb-like" and cradles the child in a washable cotton hammock with a padded base. Would you let your lil one hang in a Hushamok?
4 years
This is an old topic but I thought I would add our family's experience. We bought the Hushamok and are thrilled with it. In fact our son who is 3 and a half months and 15lbs (90% for height and weight) will only sleep on his back when he is in it (he will not sleep on his back any other way). The Hushamok is super easy to put together, and moving it from one room to another for naps is a snap. It is sturdy and travels well.We put it in the included travel bag and checked it curbside (it qualifies as standard sized luggage so no over size charges) Our son slept like a baby (no pun intended) since he slept in his own bed no matter where we were in the country. We are going to buy the My Seat when he outgrows the bed so he can continue to use it.
4 years
I used the Amby baby (got it used) and it was amazing. We used it for an entire year--definitely worth it. This one is too pricey for me, but I love how it looks, I'm trying to find it used!
4 years
I'm going to try and talk my G.F. out of it right now. Almost $500 for something you can use for 6 months! Let's not get started out on the wrong foot here. Who can afford that kind of nonsense?
alethia037 6 years
I think it looks really cool, but I voted other because it is so expensive! I could make something similar for a lot less!
macgirl 6 years
Darn it, I clicked the wrong one. I like the looks of it. A bit pricey for two months worth of cradling though.
schnappycat 6 years
This does look much like the Amby bed, which is supposed to be great. The price however? Not so great.
kikidawn 6 years
kindo, I really like the look of the one you posted about.
apma 6 years
This doesn't look like a baby could use it for more than a couple of weeks. Not for $430. That's a waste of money for people of any income level.
RosaDilia 6 years
No thanks. It has more of a decorative purpose than its intended use. After the baby has outgrown it, probably in a month, I guess it can be switched and used as a planter.
kindo1313 6 years
A similar bed (the Amby Baby Motion Bed) was a lifesaver for us. My baby refused to sleep anywhere but in my arms until we got the hammock. After that, he started to actually take naps! I don't know about this one, but the one we have is totally safe and is even recommended by Dr. Sears. My son stayed in it until around 9 months, when he wanted to roll over and sleep on his tummy.
smhooper 6 years
i think it's a cute idea!!! i would use one for my baby!
imcs 6 years
i think it looks super cute!!!
redheadkimie 6 years
Looks kinda dangerous to me. One wrong move and baby's on the floor...No thank you.
Greggie 6 years
The concept is great. In reality, paying $430 for something I could only use for a really short amount of time is ridiculous.
KATIEMARIE 6 years
I voted no, but after thinking about it - it might work. But only for the first few months, after that no way jose. Unless you had them swaddled really well. In the apartment I live in now, before I came some people said there were hippies that kept their baby in a hammock, and I mean a real hammock. It does look pretty cool though.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - An emergency siren is out of commission after it went off unexpectedly Monday morning in Manitowoc.
The siren at Stangel Elementary School sounded twice between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m.
According to Manitowoc Fire Chief Todd Blaser, the city's 10 sirens are tested every Saturday.
City sirens are activated with a changing tone for one minute in the event of a severe thunderstorm warning; three straight minutes in a single tone for a tornado warning. The rest of Manitowoc County's sirens will only sound in the event of a tornado warning.
Blaser told FOX 11 that city electricians have removed the defective siren's electronic components and are sending those parts back to the maufacturer.

USTAR, the state economic development program under scrutiny for inflating job and revenue numbers, faced a tough reception at the Utah Legislature Tuesday.
"I believe over the last few years that there's been a culture of untruth and lies come out of this group," said Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City. "You've told us good things today. I want to believe these things [but] ... if I was an investor right now, today, I think I'd probably still pull my money out."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative was started in 2006 to create jobs, businesses and tax revenue by leveraging university research. The state has invested $334 million of public money to build facilities at the University of Utah and Utah State University, lure top researchers and commercialize technology.
USTAR officials appeared before the Business, Economic Development and Labor Appropriations Subcommittee Tuesday to respond to an October legislative audit that found they touted the creation of thousands of construction jobs that no longer exist and contracts that hadn't paid out yet, among other problems.
While new chair of the USTAR governing authority Greg Bell said the program is fixing the issues uncovered by the audit, he pointed to the $258 million in external funding USTAR-affiliated researchers have brought into the state over the last seven years.
"USTAR is on track, it is well-governed, it is fulling the promises outlined in the original prospective," said Scott Anderson, governing authority member and Zions Bank CEO. The program is searching for a new executive director after Ted McAleer resigned this month.
But legislators questioned whether that funding, most of which comes from federal research grants, is really creating high-paying jobs and expanding the state tax base.
"I have seen this movie before and I know how it ends," said Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden. "The legislature is not going to keep funding this if you cannot demonstrate real progress. It's just not going to happen ... I'm not sure USTAR needs to exist to get grant money."
While technology can be lucrative, it's not an immediate payoff, said Tom Parks, vice president of research at the University of Utah.
"You have to write a lot of licenses ... to generate a lot of licensing income and you have to wait on average 10 years," he said. Over the last 30 years, the U. has had about 13 technologies that have each made more than $1 million, he said.
The U. didn't usually have the funding to recruit senior researchers until the creation of USTAR, which has helped attract faculty who create inventions, file patents and get licenses issued four to eight times more often than the average faculty member, Parks said.
Florian Solzbacher, a professor and CEO of Blackrock Microsystems, said the program is important for both the researchers it brings in and the mindset it signals.
"Having a state that essentially manages to invest the way Utah has and take that 20, 30-year perspective, that is what I would like to see," he said.
But the average salary for a USTAR-created job is now $24,000 a year, though supporters say that will triple as the companies grow and develop over the next 20 years.
Utah State University's Robert Behunin, vice president of advancement and commercialization, said that USTAR is involved with programs for clean coke mining and making artificial spider silk for applications such as artificial ligaments.
"It is very robust and it has made a difference in our community," he said, pointing specifically to a Utah Transit Authority grant for electric buses he said the university could not have gotten without USTAR.
Though the legislators didn't make any decisions about the program's annual funding of about $20 million, few seemed to come away satisfied.
"Over the next week we're going to have a long line of people marching in here asking us for money," Reid said. "Demonstrate to me what the return on investment is for this state ... this is business and economic development, this is not the charity line."

The ever-popular Carolina Clash Super Late Models roar back into action at the half-mile Lancaster Super Speedway with round one of the Championship Chase for the series paying $4,000.
Earlier this season, it was Fergy time at Lancaster Super Speedway as one of Dirt Late Models most popular drivers Chris Ferguson captured the Clash win at LSS on May 31.
Lancaster County teams will be moving into the jamboree portion of the preseason tonight – Friday, Aug. 15 – with three squads in action at two locales.
Region IV-AA foes Andrew Jackson and Buford will play in the annual Camden Shrine Jamboree at Camden's Zemp Stadium.

Youth was served in a big way Sunday afternoon, Aug. 9 at the Lancaster Golf Club.
Lancaster High School freshman golfer Brady Hinkle, 14, would be considered a youngster by age, but he was the man of the hour at the LGC.
Hinkle notched a stellar three-under 141 (72-69) to take the LGC championship on an overcast day.
Hinkle, a zero handicap golfer, posted a nine-shot victory over defending club champion Mike "Red Man" Kennington, who finished with a six-over 150 (72-78).
Michael Knight
For The Lancaster News
There was plenty of action for dirt racing fans at Lancaster Super Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 9.
u In the Late Model main event, Timbo Mangum and the Rock Hill "Bad Boy Ben" Watkins were in the front row. When the green flag dropped, Mangum, Watkins, Johnny Pursley and David Yandle battled for the lead.
Is there anyone who does not recognize this brilliant comment from the movie "Forest Gump?"
I'm sure that the scriptwriters who penned this statement never imagined how mainstream this observation on life would become.
The year is 2014. It is again time for a mid-term election. Is there any doubt as to the outcome of this exercise in futility?
In about 90 days, the people of Lancaster, Chester and Fairfield counties will go to the polls to elect a new circuit solicitor, known as a district attorney in other areas.
Much will be made of the backlog of pending criminal cases in our circuit during the solicitor's election and it is, of course, a tremendous issue, particularly in Lancaster County.
After months of speculation by residents and revision by sales tax commissiners a plan for a proposed 1-cent capital project sales tax was approved by Lancaster County Council on Monday, Aug. 11.
Parents who drop off car riders at A.R. Rucker Middle School won't be able to access the campus from Pageland Highway until early November.
Accusations of hidden agendas and leaked confidential information were lobbed from both sides as talks between Lancaster County and I-77 Alliance officials fell apart earlier this year, according to a series of emails released last month.
If you commute to Charlotte or regularly travel on U.S. 521, you might want to contact members of Lancaster County Council and ask what they are doing.
They passed the Panhandle Highway Corridor Overlay District so they could fix it. Now is the time to fix it.
Often it has been said, the devil is in the details.
"Our goal is by bringing the buildings forward, creating landscaping, it's going to slow down the traffic," said the county's consultant from North Carolina.

The Student Life Office matches roommates based on this information and assigns rooms. Residence hall choices are honored based on date of receipt of enrollment deposits, and students usually receive their roommate and residence hall assignments in mid-July.
Why do students feel safe at LR?
The safety of our students is a top priority at LR. We employ Security Officers 24/7, and the campus is located in a safe, residential area of the community. Campus emergency phones and enhanced campus lighting are just some of the ways we keep our students safe.
What about Greek life, clubs and other organizations?

LRU makes no claim or guarantee that credits earned will transfer to another institution.
Does enrollment at LR or completion of an LR degree program guarantee me employment in my chosen career?

Christopher's "el Corazon" Mission Flat
House Call
Name: Christopher
Location: The heart of the Mission 'el Corazon', San Francisco
So this is my Mission flat. It has gone through many changes over 8 years that I've been there, but finally it seems to have reached homeostasis. I am happy with it.
The styling draws heavily from the 1960s. I have always been inspired by the optimistic faith in the plastic future and technology that the early the mid-century aesthetic captures. I think it is the last period who's faith in the future went completely unchallenged. The decay of that simple Utopian sensibility is as beautiful in it's naivete as it is tragic.
Traditionally, I have been a modern purest but in embracing the florid quality of my 1900 Queen Anne flat, I have lately been contrasting my danish modern pieces with more baroque elements. I love the tension.
Thanks, Christopher!

The living room is perfectly feminine.
I like the combination of mixing formal and casual elements. Who needs a rule book?!
ladymantle - I kinda like the mix of midcentury and early 20th/late 19th century details (I think that's what you didn't like?). I think it makes the place look comfortable but still elegant. I especially love the feel of the living room. I guess to each his own! :)
awallnut - lol guess you beat me to it:P
Love your place! Where did you find that stunning blue coverlet? I have been looking for one just like that!
I wish there were more pictures...
I really, really like this. It's not really my style, but I love it.
Nice! I wish I could see more though
Not feeling the animal hides draped over the chairs or the dead bird on the wall in the living room but i dig everything else!
I find the color combination in the LR incredibly different and soothing. Garden looks intriguing.
That living room/salon is gorgeous! Too formal for me to live with, but I still love it greatly. :)
Also, I really love all the plants, particularly in the bedroom. Could I get the names of those plants, by any chance? Thanks!
Fascinating color combos- love the peach/gray/olive in the living room.
I'd love to see more of this apartment!
full house tour please! I love the mix of styles, the jungle in the bedroom, and the beautiful quality of light throughout.
oh. my. goodness.
this is stunning!
I love this apartment. I've seen it in person, and all I can say is MORE, MORE, MORE! Really, these few images don't do it justice. The amount of time and energy in that kitchen just blows me away. It's truly genius. And what Christopher can do with a Christmas tree is out of this world.
"Could I get the names of those plants, by any chance?"
Seymour, Audrey, Orin...
...Hey - Where's Audrey II?
Absolutely Beautiful!
That bedroom is gorgeous and magical!
Love the kitchen - where are the table and chairs from? Thanks!
I love the silverware! Where can I get that same style?
Where is the pic of Christopher? I have been in this apartment many times and it is lovely. There is almost something for everyone in each space and these pics really do not show enough of the mastery throughout the flat. House tour and more pics please!!!
That living room is just spectacular. I love the unusual mix of styles!
House tour please?? These pictures are fabulous! I'd love to see more, especially of the dining/kitchen area.
I really enjoyed the little bit of this house I saw. It's so lush, vivid and fertile! I would actually like to see an house tour.
I'd like it if there were no stuffed ducks etc.
LOVE the colors in the living room. Just gorgeous.
@ladymantle: Work boots with a ballgown!? Maybe, but you say that like it's a bad thing. Design is supposed to be about mixing elements in unexpected ways. There is nothing more boring, design-wise, than a room from one era. You're constructing a living space, not a museum exhibit.
Furthermore...which is supposed to be the workboots? The beautiful, well-made, luxurious moldings, or the beautiful, well-made, luxurious Danish furniture? Both examples speak to refinement and quality craftsmanship. That could never clash.
Never seen curtain rods hung 3/4 of the way up a window before with long curtains. That was the most surprising element in a charming house call.
Oh, I just love this house! I need to see more of it!
I really enjoy this and would love to see more. It's interesting to read folks who interpret the living room as feminine, because I was impressed with how it felt gender balanced AND used peach at the same time.
How do you dust a duck? Do moths etc not infest it?
Otherwise, love the living room
Ballgowns and work boots? ok ...I guess, I'd have to agree, if you mean there's tension. If I had my way, I'd have an Eichler in the hills. What I got was a Queen Anne and in the flats. I had to rectify the disconnect as best I could. ...or maybe you meant ball gown taste on a work boot budget in which case I'd agree then too.
The dead animals are grotesque. Absolutely. The grotesque baroque movement began as an attempt by artists to inspire empathy and disgust simultaneously in the viewer. Nailed it. I dust them as needed with a damp cloth. They have damage which I think adds to the macabre quality.
The usual indoor suspects: monstera, pothos, yucca, ficus, begonia and tillansia. available anywhere (in SF try my girl Flora Grubb)
Grey, olive, and PEACH? I was telling myself grey, brady green, and jute. At first I thought, 'no that's just a trick of the color levels in the shot' then I realized I probably just in denial. omg, there IS some peach. yikes. It used to be only grey and green. I wanted to add warmth and pick up the teak.
The 3/4 curtain decision did two things. The windows are rickety, divided aluminum from the 40s. I wanted some direct light for my plants but hated seeing my pillows sun fade. The rod is hung to hide the division and allow for some direct exposure.
At the risk of calling attention to my own folly, I agree, I have never seen a curtain grommet I liked. Along with tab top, I hate them. Furthermore, the hardware that shows is embarrassing. Still, at some point you have to concede to what you can find. Shopped for curtains lately? Tab top and grommets rein. I hung them telling myself they'd get tailored shortly. It never happened and there they hang. I think the fabrics were good choices.
Overture, thanks. I love a good read. Thank you everyone else for your interest. I too hope you'll be seeing more...
-Christopher Radcool Reynolds
In a mini tour why in the world are we seeing silverware and socks on a line? What a waste.
I thought this home was lovely. Not really my style but very relaxed, love the colors and cheefulness, and all of the plants in the bedroom.
More, more, more...I want to see more!!!!! In fact I beg to see more. I'm not too proud. Christopher you have done an amazing job...I LOVE it!!!
Beautiful place! Just one thing... the dead fox is... um, distasteful.
I really love the living room in this house. We have chairs that are almost identical to the green chairs in the picture. While I like the color, I have never been able to figure out how to make them work in our home. Thank you for the inspiration! They look great here - maybe we don't have to recover ours!
Please. In a "House Call" with only five shots, we have to see two vignettes--a table setting and a clotheseline? I seriously do not see what the point is of these shots, as artistically interesting as they may be. The first three photos gave me the idea that I would like to see more...and then I was (once again) let down by AT's failure to edit the submitted images appropriately...
House tour please!
I would love to see more in a house tour as well.
Christopher, your bed linens are really striking my fancy. Can you tell me where you got them, particularly the blue bedspread?

Here, I'll sum it up for you: PTR economy ≠ live realm economy.
With all of the exciting changes coming in Patch 4.3, many players are hitting the PTR for the first time (myself included). So it's a good time to point out how differently players behave with their gold and goods on the PTR from the live realms. We shouldn't draw any conclusions from the PTR's AH about how live realm players will spend/save their gold.
The most valuable information on the PTR is about any changes made to the sources and uses of goods, be they raw or crafted or looted, such as new profession patterns. I suspect we'll be hearing much more about that in the next Gold Capped.

Will the Belo Monte Dam project on the Amazon River cause more harm to the environment or will it be a good source of energy for Brazil?
The Amazon rainforest is an internationally recognized epicenter of biodiversity. Countless campaigns to stop the cutting and burning these rainforests have fallen on deaf ears. Now the Brazilian government plans to build what would be the world's 3rd largest dam [1] on the beautiful and ancient Amazon River. The Belo Monte project would span the Xingu River with 3 different dams: 233MW Pimental, 233MW Bela Vista, and 11,000MW Belo Monte. In addition, two artificial canals must be built to divert the river, which together will span more area than the Panama Canal.
These dams will have a myriad of negative impacts on the local environment. Construction of the dam will cause about 400-640 sq km land upstream to become flooded for a reservoir - an area equal to the size of Chicago. The town of Altamira will be flooded as well as countless acres that house the region's tribal populations. The impact on biodiversity includes 6-8 species of fish endemic to the Amazon River that will likely go extinct as well as a 2% decrease in the total forested area of the Amazon rainforest.
Organisms endangered by the construction of Belo Monte cannot verbalize their traumatic destruction of their ecosystem, but the indigenous people of the Amazon can; they are currently protesting the construction of the Belo Monte project through an "occupy" movement.
Belo Monte project is the first of many dam projects planned for the Brazilian portion of the Amazon River. Do these indigenous people have a right to decide what happens to their ancestral homeland? Or is the Brazilian government in the right by providing power for the majority of their country? Will the Belo Monte become the Belo "Muerte" dam (aka dam of death)?
Here's a 10 minute video that covers the impact the Belo Monte dam on the Amazon:

May 15 2013: Sorry if this has been stated/asked already, there are too many comments to sort through at this point. Although we have covered in class that it is exceptionally hard to assign a dollar amount to biodiversity, has anything been done to try to calculate the revenue that will be lost due to the environmental disruption caused by this dam? If it could be calculated and pointed out that the loss of biodiversity would generate a lot of loss in the terms of money, it might be a more convincing way to stop the project. Even obscure costs should be pointed out (such as cost for treating a higher number of malaria cases due the increased mosquito population that the dam will bring about.) Do you think it is possible/have you found anything in your research about the long term cost of the dam?
May 15 2013: I would assume that most of the costs are highly subjective. For example, in the video, it showed how flooding from the dam would put part of a city underwater. Well you can put a $ value on the property loss, but you can't put a value on the lives of the people who lived there, which would be destroyed. Another example is the habitat destruction that would lead to population losses in various species. Not to sound crude, but it's the middle of the freakin' jungle, so those animals that would die aren't likely to have much of a dollar value, but that doesn't mean that their loss would be low-cost (not taking into account biodiversity loss).
May 15 2013: I was wondering this as well because I think you can put a value on lives lost or changed. insurance companies tell us everyday how much they think our assets and lives are, and we are repaid appropriately for their loss. However, I'm wondering if they're getting well compensated for this inconvenience and loss of their own personal assets or has the Brazialian government ignored their cries for help. So as not to ignore the loss to biodiversity because they obviously can't easily be paid back, but would some other de-forestation projects be created from the profits of these dam building and mining operations?
May 15 2013: Derek: Even though it's the middle of the jungle I think there must still be a market value to all the fish in the area. I imagine the extinction of certain species will indirectly bring harm to some valuable wildlife. But again, it's hard to assign value to these types of thing especially with such an unpredictable outcome.
Patrick: You bring up a good point. I would imagine the people in the city would be compensated, but probably not the tribes.

Louisville To Host National Preservation Conference This Fall
Tuesday June 15, 2004
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that Louisville will be host this fall for the 2004 National Preservation Conference sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The conference, which will be held from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3, is expected to attract more than 2,000 people to Louisville from across the country. The theme for the conference is "Restore America: Communities at a Crossroads."
"In winning the conference, Louisville beat out Memphis and New Orleans – a testament to our preservation commitment and Kentucky's unique heritage," Abramson said. "Hosting the conference provides a great opportunity to showcase our wonderful historic neighborhoods, regional heritage, cultural diversity and the close ties that exist between communities in Louisville and Southern Indiana that make us a region."
Louisville's Brown-Forman Corporation is serving as the principal conference sponsor.
Abramson also said the community is examining ways to ensure that it preserves some of its most important historic structures such as the old Marine Hospital in the Portland neighborhood.
Abramson, who was joined by conference leaders and officials with the Kentucky Heritage Council, announced this morning that progress has been made in saving the structure. Nearly $2.5 million has been secured in federal, state and local funding for the building's preservation.
Last year, the Marine Hospital - a National Historic Landmark -- was listed by the National Trust as one of America's eleven most endangered historic places.
"The Marine Hospital has been a building at a crossroads for some time," Abramson said. "I'm pleased that significant dollars have been earmarked to ensure that this important building is no longer on the endangered list."

The Entrance, an hour-a-half's drive from Sydney and Newcastle, is situated on a narrow strip of land next to which Lake Tuggerah flows into the ocean. As such, inhabitants of The Entrance enjoy access to both a pristine coastline and an intricate lakes system and visitors have plenty of water-based attractions to choose from. On the eastern side of town, Wyrrabalong National Park boasts a whole host of natural attractions for travellers to explore. And in town, visitors can take part in The Entrance's thriving market culture. A number of holiday rentals boast water views and are located within easy reach of everything The Entrance has to offer.
As you would expect from a community surrounded by bodies of water, travellers and locals have access to a wide array of aquatic activities. In the summer, the lake system of Tuggerah, Budgewoi and Munmorah is ripe for fishing. Bring your own gear or hire some from the bait and tackle shops in town. Bream is known to swim through these waters. Before fishing, please take note of the protected species you could catch and are legally required to return to their habitat unharmed. (The Entrance's official website has further information on the subject.)
Aside from fishing, prawning is another popular pastime at The Entrance. Head over to the mouth of Tuggerah Lake on summer evenings and bring the whole family, as the shallow, crustacean-filled waters are safe for little ones to wade through. If fishing and prawning aren't of interest to you, you can enjoy a number of water sports, rent out a boat for the day, or simply relax on safe, patrolled The Entrance beach as the kids splash around in the waves. Lastly, don't forget to attend a pelican feeding at Memorial Park, every day at 3:30pm.
Once you've had your fix of waterfront fun, you can discover the Central Coast's breathtaking scenery on foot, with various bushwalks available to visitors.

The park stretches for 5km both north and south of The Entrance and benefits from marked paths for easy orientation. Hike or drive up to Crackneck Point Lookout, a popular spot for whale watching due to uninterrupted ocean views. If you have more time, drive 21km north of town to the Munmorah State Recreational Area, where additional bushwalks can be undertaken. Your efforts rewarded with equally sumptuous sea views.
Even shopping at The Entrance involves being outdoors- and close to the water. The Entrance Waterfront harbours a number of restaurants, takeaway joints and fashion boutiques, as well as a children's playground. This area makes for a nice stroll, especially in the warmer months, as you can stop at one of the delicious ice cream shops and enjoy a cold treat only steps from the beach.

If you're travelling to the Central Coast in September, do not miss the Gathering of the Clans in the neighbouring town of Toukley, a large Scottish festival with bagpipes, a parade, outdoor theatre, arts and crafts stalls and plenty of family-friendly activities.
With summer highs of 24C and winter days reaching 17C, the Entrance provides an ideal escape for visitors no matter the season. Thanks to the Central Coast's moderate climate, many activities, like the ever-popular pelican feeding, run year-round. If you're looking for a holiday buzzing with action, be sure to visit in the summer or during school holidays, when The Entrance is at its busiest.

Story compliments of ESPN Europe had 563 million international tourist arrivals in 2013. Antarctica, on the other hand, had about 150,000 visitors, although only 35,000 were technically tourists, as the bulk were researchers and scientists. The World Tourism Organization, which monitors these comings and goings, barely recognizes Antarctica -- it's not even present on its tourism-growth infographic.
Just 100 years ago, explorers were aborting their expeditions -- or, worse, becoming permanently detained in the vast frozenness that is the bottom of the world. In December 2013, the Akademik Shokalskiy, a Russian research ship, became bound up in sea ice, and the 74 people aboard had to be rescued. All things considered, 150,000 visitors in a year is quite an astonishing number.
But surfers in Antarctica? Until last year, the only surf trip to Antarctica was in 2000, when then-Surfer magazine editor Steve Hawk and photographer Art Brewer put a small exploratory crew together (including brothers Chris and Keith Malloy, whose younger brother Dan would soon venture on an expedition of his own). While they did stumble upon a few waves, the surf was relatively uncooperative, and the idea of the bottom of the world being the next surf Valhalla was more or less abandoned.
Chilean big-wave surfer Ramon Navarro had tracked massive waves in Chile for eight years before proposing an Antarctica trip to Red Bull. "We really wanted to do something great that nobody had done before," he said. "With those guys [Red Bull], you can say, 'I want to go surf Antarctica,' and they like those kinds of crazy ideas."
With the Red Bull team, 34-year-old Navarro spent two years researching and orchestrating the mission to tap into a fresh source of supersized waves. He also enlisted surfer/filmmaker Dan Malloy, 35, to come along for the adventure. "This was my first trip with him. It was really fun. He loves to surf, loves challenges and he had no problem with the cold water."

During a news conference in Jersey City Monday, Gov. Chris Christie didn't hold back when discussing how he felt about the nation's leaders in Washington D.C.
At one point in the news conference, the New Jersey governor blasted the leadership in Washington D.C., telling the crowd he had no idea what they were doing.
"If anybody in this room thinks they understand Washington D.C., please come on up, stand behind the podium and you give the answers," Christie, referring to the automatic budget cuts that went into effect Friday, said.
Clips from Christie's news conference were posted to his official YouTube page later Monday and were tweeted out through his official Twitter handle.
"I don't understand it, I don't understand why they haven't fixed it already," Christie said.
The New Jersey governor recommended leaders in Washington D.C. sit in a room and not leave until the nation's budget problems are fixed.
