Brumbies v Western Force - Live
full-time Brumbies 19 Western Force 17
80 The Force are camped deep inside the Brumbies' half but at the vital moment they commit a handling error! The Brumbies are awarded a scrum and Toomua soon puts it into touch. The referee brings proceedings to a close and the home side's players start their celebrations. It wasn't always pretty and the result could have gone either way.
76 The Brumbies show a willingness to run the ball and are soon deep inside the Force's 22! However, they soon commit a handling error and the Force try to counter-attack!
73 The Brumbies get another penalty after the Force are blown up for diving in at a ruck. White has an ambitious attempt but his shot sails wide of the upright.
70 The Brumbies get a penalty when the Force go off their feet at a ruck. Toomua replaces White as the goal-kicker but his attempt strikes the upright and the Force gain a reprieve!
68 White does well when he puts in a box kick which rolls into touch just outside the Force's 22. Stephen Moore is replaced by Anthony Hegerty.
66 The Brumbies do well to regain possession at the next break-dwon with a fine display of counter-rucking.
65 The Force get a chance to attack when they are awarded a scrum inside the Brumbies' 22 after Mowen knocks on.
60 Force flyer Napolioni Nalaga is stopped close to the tryline by a fine tackle from Coleman. Nalaga is bundled into touch but the Brumbies are blow up for being offside. From the resulting kick Stannard's attempt strikes the upright!
55 TRY, W FORCE, STANNARD! 19-17. Stannard goes over untouched after the Brumbies' defensive line eventually cracks. The fly-half misses with the conversion attempt.
54 The Force are trying to strike back! They are soon on the edge of the Brumbies' tryline but the hosts defend resiliently.
51 TRY, BRUMBIES, COLEMAN! 19-12. Robbie Coleman rounds off a great move in the left-hand corner after latching onto a long pass from Toomua. Christian.Lealifano does well in the build-up when he tears the Force's defence to shreds with a devestating line break. White misses with the conversion from the touchline.
48 White goes on a break close to the halfway mark. The ball is recycled and comes out to Mowen who kicks ahead. The Force gather the ball but committ a handling error in the process.
45 TRY, BRUMBIES, MOGG! 14-12. Jesse Mogg gets in for game's first try after running onto a pass from White off the base of the scrum on the Force's five-metre line. White misses with the conversion kick!
43 White puts Ben Mowen into space inside the Force's 22! The Brumbies skipper is stopped metres from the line by Sheehan.
40 The Brumbies get the second half started! The Force are soon on the attack but at a critical stage concede a turnover inside the Brumbies' half.
Half-time Brumbies 9 Western Force 12
40 Mogg goes on the run down the touchline inside the Force's half but he puts a foot in touch and at the resulting scrum the Force hooker Nathan Charles is blown up for nor throwing in straight. The resulting scrum collapses and referee Bryce Lawrence blows his whistle to signal the end of the half. It's been an even contest with both sides still feeling each other out. Very little enterprising play and let's hope the second half is more entertaining.
37 Nic Cummins does well when he takes a high ball from Toomua despite being under great pressure from Jesse Mogg.
36 PENALTY, W FORCE, KIMLIN! 9-12. Stannard puts his side into the lead after Peter Kimlin gets pinned for going off his feet at a ruck.
31 White gets an opportunity to strike back with another penalty for the Brumbies but his effort goes wide of the upright.
29 PENALTY, W FORCE, STANNARD! 9-9. Stannard adds the extras after Toomua is penalised for not releasing a tackled player on the ground.
27 The Force win a penalty just outside their 22 when the Brumbies are blown up for obstructive running.
25 White gets the ball from the base of the scrum under tremendous pressure from Brett Sheehan on the edge of his 22. He puts it directly into touch.
23 Matt Toomua puts the Brumbies on the front-foot with a beautifully weighted tactical kick which rolls out about five mtres from the Force's tryline.
20 This time it's White's turn to miss with a penalty attempt after The Force infringe at a ruck.
18 James Stannard has a shot at goal from about 40 metres out after the Brumbies' back-line are pinned for being offside. However, Stannard's shot is well short of the target.
15 The Force do well to string some phases together and are soon on the edge of the Brumbies' 22 until they commit a handling error in an attempt to cross the advantage line.
12 PENALTY, BRUMBIES, WHITE! 9-6. Nic White adds another three-pointer after Pocock is blown up for being off-side.
9 PENALTY, W FORCE, STANNARD! 6-6. Stannard adds another three points from a difficult angle to draw his side level.

2 PENALTY, WESTERN FORCE, STANNARD! 3-0. James Stannard gets the opening points after the Brumbies are penalised at a breakdown.
Kick-off James Stannard gets us started! David Pocock does well at kick off to win a turnover and the ball goes wide to the Force backs!
Team News The Force will take to the field without their regular full-back Cameron Shepherd who has been ruled out through injury. Shepherd is struggling with a leg strain and his spot in the starting XV has been taken by Alfie Mafi, with former scrum-half James Stannard named at fly-half following the pre-season departure of Willie Ripia. Former skipper Nathan Sharpe has recovered from his calf complaint and will partner Toby Lynn in the second row, with regular lock Sam Wykes (hamstring) ruled out. The side will be captained by Wallaby stalwart David Pocock. Fijian international Napolioni Nalaga will make his Force debut, as will Lynn, prop Salesi Ma'afu and outside centre Winston Stanley. Hooker Elvis Taione, lock Phoenix Battye, flanker Angus Cottrell, flyhalf Ben Seymour and outside back Sam Wara will also make their debuts if they are required off the bench.
Team News The Brumbies have a new coach in former Springbok boss Jake White and he has made numerous changes since his arrival. For this clash White has included six debutants. Lock Leon Power, a recruit from New Zealand provincial side Bay of Plenty, will make first Super Rugby appearance in the starting XV along with winger Jesse Mogg. Fellow rookies Ruaidhri Murphy, Scott Fardy, Zack Holmes and Joe Tomane are on the bench. Wallabies front rowers Stephen Moore and Ben Alexander have recovered from injury in time for Friday's match but the Brumbies remain without Australia centre Pat McCabe, who is close to making his return from a shoulder surgery. Robbie Coleman starts at full-back after playing in the centres last season. Fijian-born speedster Henry Speight is on the wing while Nic White will play half-back and Matt Toomua, a 2009 Wallabies Spring tourist, is the fly-half. Christian Lealiifano partners the hard-running Andrew Smith in the midfield.
Welcome Hello and welcome to Canberra for this Super Rugby opener between the hosts the Brumbies and the Western Force. Both teams have plenty to prove after poor campaigns in 2011 so expect an entertaining match.

Hi everybody,
Here is the article from Matin Dimanche. Big thanks to Yulia from patriciakaas.ru!
This is the translation:
In a phone conversation Patricia says that she didn't know the Zermatt Unplugged Festival. But everybody told her, that it is wonderful and that she will love the surroundings.
She will be staying there for a few days to enjoy it.
She also says that after "Kaas chante Piaf" she loves to do her own songs again. "Kaas chante Piaf" was very organised and within some borders and now she wants to do something more simple and natural.
So it will be 1,5 hours of acoustic songs. And the concert will be specially arranged for this occasion.
She also says that she was planning on creating a new album in 2015 and then touring in 2016. But she wants to live a life as a woman too. Not always only the life of an artist. So she wants to enjoy life a bit before being an artist again.

I am trying to take everything after the decimal and display it as a fraction. Couldn't find much for objective-c on how to accomplish this. I am using
double for my formatting of variables, not sure if that would matter or not. This is how I am formatting for output of my answer:
[theTextField setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f''", (myVariable)]]; This displays ok as decimal, but would really like it as a whole number and fraction (ie.) 7 1/2 instead of 7.5000. Thank you in advanced!
Well, I got it to display 7 1/16, but something with the math is off. Because it won't change from 1/16 even by changing the values that are getting divided. Where am I going wrong here? If anyone can actually get this to work correctly please post fully how its done. This is something that should be simple but isn't and way too time consuming. Please post fully how it is done. Thanks.
Update: If this answer isn't working for you check out my other post, this works! Convert decimals to fractions

Report: 23% Of Top Brands Have A Separate Twitter Account For Customer Service
One Twitter handle is no longer enough for many big brands. According to Simply Measured, a social analytics company, 23% of top tier companies have a dedicated customer service handle on Twitter. The segmented accounts allow brands to handle issues, give feedback and interact with customers. Of the top brands analyzed, only 15% of accounts had customer service interaction on Twitter 10 or more times a day.
Customers expect quick responses from their Tweets as well. 32% of customers believe they should see a response within 30 minutes . That's an expectation that brands simply haven't adopted. Currently 0% of the top brands averaged a 30 minute response. However, 92% of brand responses came within 24 hours.
For more information on customer service on Twitter see Simply Measured or view the full presentation:

What they discovered was that the phrase "science tells us we must..." has increased in usage dramatically over that time frame.

The authors suggest that this increased usage of science to tell us what behaviors we should pursue (as opposed to earlier science reporting merely saying that "such and such behavior has this negative consequence" and allowing people to decide what action to take themselves based on that information) has damaged the credibility of science in the minds of the general public.

Negotiate With Your Creiditors
Creditors do no like the hassle of collection proceedings. In order to avoid the collection process creditors will sometimes reduce the debtors expected payments, extend the time to pay, drop late fees or settle for a reduced amount. If your debts are not to high and you have some income, or you have assets you are willing to sell, negotiating with a creditor may be an alternative to bankruptcy.
Credit and Debt Counseling
The purpose of the credit counseling is to get you to sign up for a debt repayment plan instead of filing for bankruptcy. However, you will need steady income to be able to make payments to creditors. Before you choose a credit counselor or debt management plan you need to see if the agency has been approved by The Office of the U.S. Trustee. If you have steady income a counselor will contact your creditors and let them know that you have sought assistance and need time to pay off your debts. Both the counselor and creditors will decide how much you must pay and how long. You have to make payments to the agency and in return the agency will make payments to creditors. The agency will receive a small percentage of the money. The disadvantages of this option is that you do not have the protection of bankruptcy and if you miss a payment any one of the creditors can pull out of the plan.
Creditors Must Sue to Collect
Although I never advocate not doing anything and allowing creditors to sue, it may be an alternative to bankruptcy for certain debtors. Most creditors must sue you in court in order to get a money judgment against your income and property, except for taxing agencies and student loan creditors. However, there is an exception to the rule. A creditor that has collateral on a debt such as a car, can repossess the car or furniture when you default on that debt. If you are willing to give up your property such as your car in order to be able to pay off other creditors, this can also be an alternative to bankruptcy. Furthermore if you are sued in court and loose much of your property is protected, such as basic clothing, ordinary household furnishings, food, social security payments, unemployment benefits, public assistance, 75% of your wages.
Stopping Bill Collector Harassment
Although bankruptcy puts an automatic stop on most collection efforts as soon as you file, you do not have to file for bankruptcy to get creditors to stop harassing you. Federal law forbids collection agencies form threatening you, lying about what they can do to you, or invading you privacy. Under federal law you can legally force collection agencies to stop phoning or writing you by simply demanding that they stop. This is under the Fair Debt and Collections Practice Act, 15 U.S.C. 1692. Simply wright a letter to the creditor informing them that you want them to stop under the act.

I know it will sound ridiculous but i have a raging school girl crush on my boss. I don't have any intention of doing anything with him. I have had these feelings since past few months but never thought of sharing it with anyone. I tried a few times to distance myself from him but i couldn't as we work very closely together.It is kinda of cute how he helps me out if i have any trouble related to work or even personal. i never told him how handsome he is, as i am scared he may feel
I was quite taken aback to read about ICC's recently announced World Cup XI team that didn't have a single player from Team India. This comes as a bigger shock because Team India performed exceptionally well in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 where they won 7 consecutive matches before getting knocked out in the semi-finals against Australia.Moreover, MS Dhoni reached a milestone becoming the most successful Indian captain ever. Despite all this, not having any Indian cricketer in this list

With innumerable irrelevant bans, brutal rapes and murders, cricket World Cup snatch, political stirs, India has been on a roller coaster ride since five years precisely. I might not be as patriotic when it comes to being an Indian, but I sure see a brighter India in 10 years of time. If not major changes but at least a few alterations that would make this nation a country to live in at peace. Here are a few dreams that I have for India in 10 years.1.

A clear case of blatant sexual harassment, immigration officer Vinod Kumar allegedly harassed a woman at IGI airport. He went on to follow the victim along the escalator between the domestic and international transfer.

Or does she "have fun" with other men if her husband is not around? What kind of men are there at airports? Have a look at the

Team India might have lost the most crucial match in the World Cup 2015 tournament but ignoring the seven consecutive wins earlier in the same tournament, and calling them non-performers is just not cool.On top of it, the blame game and backlash at Anushka Sharma doesn't seem to come to an end. Fans, critics and even some media channels are blaming Virat Kohli's lady love Anushka for the cricketer's poor performance in the semi-final match against Australia and thus calling her the reasons for

Life awakes me today
alone was to me and not that lone
happy new days I seek to rebirth
why was today this and for tomorrow that
nothing comes to me in,
in the dark I bark so a lot
why was mummy so annoyed to me
she looked at me, sadly
just mean, huh??
sudden befall me
I took her for better
and she took it to be worst
heavenly God be-blessed
here comes the good she might turn
she wept till they come to her
she refused to go in until when I went on with her.

F is for family. F is for fortune. F is for fraud. F is for fate.
From the internationally acclaimed author of Measuring the World, here is a dazzling tragicomedy about three brothers whose father takes on the occult and both wins and loses.
Arthur is a dilettante, a wannabe writer who decides to fill an afternoon by taking his three young sons to a performance by the Great Lindemann, Master of Hypnosis. While allowing one of them to be called onto the stage and made a spectacle of, Arthur declares himself to be immune to hypnosis and a disbeliever in all magic. But the Great Lindemann knows better. He gets Arthur to tell him his deepest secrets and then tells him to make them real. That night, Arthur empties the family bank account, takes his passport, and vanishes. He's going to become a world-famous author, a master of the mystical. (F is for fake.)
But what of the boys? Martin, painfully shy, grows up to be a Catholic priest without a vocation. (F is for faith, and lack of it.) Eric becomes a financier (F is for fraud), losing touch with reality as he faces ruin, while Ivan, destined for glory as a painter, instead becomes a forger. (F is for forgery, too.) They've settled into their life choices, but when the summer of the global financial crisis dawns they're thrown together again with cataclysmic results.
Wildly funny, heartbreaking, tragic, Daniel Kehlmann's novel about truth, family, and the terrible power of fortune is a fictional triumph.
About the Author
Daniel Kehlmann was born in Munich in 1975 and lives in Berlin and New York. His works have won the Candide Prize, the Doderer Prize, the Kleist Prize, the Welt Literature Prize, and the Thomas Mann Prize. Measuring the World was translated into more than forty languages and is one of the greatest successes in postwar German literature.
Praise for F…
A New York Times Notable Book, an NPR Best Book of 2014, and a New Yorker Favorite Book of 2014
"Daniel Kehlmann's strange and endlessly provoking novel, F (Pantheon, translated by Carol Brown Janeway), is several things at once: it is a mutilated family saga (a dubious father and three hopeless sons); a comic novel about faith and the absence of God (and, lest that not seem remarkable enough, I'll add that it is a comic German novel about the absence of God); and a not merely clever meditation on what a fictional self is. Not merely clever but suggestive and powerful, because, like Jose Saramago, Kehlmann is interested in using metafictional questions to ask metaphysical questions. For him, the question "What is a fictional self?" leads to the question "What is this self we choose to call real?" In certain lights, F can seem a conventional tale of family woes, shaped around the life stories of the three failed Friedland brothers, Ivan, Eric, and Martin. Each, in different ways, is a fake or a fraud (one of the things "F" stands for in the book, along with "faith," "family," and "Friedland"). And there is pleasure to be had from reading the book in this way: these individual stories are full of detail and vitality. But the deepest delights—delights that offer consolation in a faithless or fake world—are to be found in the novel's beautiful and cunning construction, and in its brilliantly self-interrogating form." —James Wood, The New Yorker (Favorite Books of 2014)
"As with Thomas Pynchon's 'V,' or Tom McCarthy's 'C,' in Daniel Kehlmann's subtly yet masterly constructed puzzle cube of a new novel, readers and characters alike exist for a time in that hazy uncertain land, where there is not only the desire but the need to solve for x—or, in Kehlmann's case, 'F' . . . translated deftly from the German by Carol Brown Janeway . . . ambitious . . . elegant." —Joseph Salvatore, New York Times Book Review
"Kehlmann's prose is sophisticated and often dense, his musings on religion, art and life are intellectually rigorous, and his plotting masterful in the linking of the story's separate narratives with overlaps that, when revealed, surprise and shock the reader. . . . Kehlmann's rendering of life's mysteries. . . allow the reader a window to another world. . . as if looking (and listening) through clear, highly polished glass)."—NPR, All Things Considered
"F is Daniel Kehlmann's most technically accomplished novel yet." —Anthony Cummins, The New Statesman
"A comic tour de force, a biting satire on the hypnotised world of artificial wants and needs that Huxley predicted, a moving study of brotherhood and family failure, F is an astonishing book, a work of deeply satisfying (and never merely clever) complexity that reveals yet another side of a prolifically inventive writer who never does the same thing twice. That one of its central motifs is the Rubik's Cube is highly apt. . . . Yet F is also much more than an intricate puzzle: it is a novel of astonishing beauty, psychological insight and, finally, compassion, a book that, in a world of fakes and manufactured objects of desire, is the real article, a bona-fide, inimitable masterpiece."—The Times Literary Supplement
"Each son's tale reads like a satisfying novella, and the three eventually dovetail in a way that surprises without feeling overdetermined. . . . [Kehlmann] shows off many talents in F. He's adept at aphorism, brainy humor and dreamlike sequences. And he keeps the pages lightly turning while musing deeply. . .'"—The New York Times
"[A] lollapalooza of a family comedy, diabolically intricate in its layering of concurrent narratives and dryly hilarious at every mazelike turn. . . . F is splashed with vivacious, hilarious characters and incidents that, with distance and time, transmogrify into something quite sinister indeed."—San Francisco Chronicle
"The hallmarks of [Kehlmann's] style are speed, wit and a nuanced appreciation of the absurd. He often writes about geniuses and fools and the thin line between them. He's a specialist in the kind of irony that tells us more about a character, and ourselves, than sincerity ever could."—Guernicamag.com
"A testament to the fact that conceptual novels need not be devoid of people and that family novels need not be devoid of ideas and that some darkly funny, smart absurdity is always a good idea. Well worth a read." —Flavorwire.com
"F gets an A." —Harold Brubaker, Philadelphia Inquirer
"A tightly constructed exploration of filial tension and adult struggle. . . . a novel about ordinary people's self-discoveries. . . as Kehlmann's characters lay bare their troubled souls, we get a view that is comic and affecting"—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Kehlmann is a writer of great craft and imagination." —Adam Lively, The Sunday Times
"With the wizardry of a puzzle master Daniel Kehlmann permutes the narrative pieces of this Rubik's Cube of a story—involving a lost father and his three sons—into a solution that clicks into position with a deep thrill of narrative and emotional satisfaction. Kehlmann is one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today, and he manages all this while exploring matters of deep philosophical and intellectual import. He deserves to have more readers in the United States." —Jeffrey Eugenides
"F is an intricate, beautiful novel in multiple disguises: a family saga, a fable, and a high-speed farce. But then, what else would you expect? Daniel Kehlmann is one of the great novelists for making giant themes seem light." —Adam Thirlwell

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director

In a statement issued last week, the group said that "after sincere observation and reflection," they are demanding that the government scrap plans to build the base in Gangjeong village on Jeju island.
The statement further allege that the government has tried to buy off residents of the island to gain support for the base. "So more residents are faced with being deprived of their native home without reason," the statement said.

Things to do in District 1
Saigon's largest selection of English-language books, travel guides, and magazines is also a good bet for postcards, maps, and hard-to-find international newspapers.
Since the "Five O'Clock Follies" (the U.S. military's daily press briefings during the Vietnam War) were held downstairs, the rooftop garden—with its wacky Dr. Seussian topiary—became a beloved journo hangout, and remains an essential tourist stop to this day.
Owner-tastemaker Catherine Denoual's shop in the towering Saigon Centre mall, features delicately embroidered sateen bed linens in rich chocolates, golds, and caramels, as well as perhaps the world's most decadent silk charmeuse robe ($185), for your inner Marlene Dietrich.
Every expat in town eventually winds up on Pacharan's fourth-floor terrace (directly opposite the Park Hyatt hotel) for wine, sangria, and reliably good tapas on weekend nights.
Specializing in Art Deco furniture (both reproduction and antique), this densely packed multistory shop may have a corny name but it's been a favorite of expats looking to outfit their villas since it opened in 1998.
Peeling ocher walls, sun-bleached curtains, musty corridors, a fountain full of pond scum: Saigon's oldest art museum is atmosphere incarnate, like Miss Havisham's parlor gone tropical.
Inspired by the sumptuous textiles, rich palettes, and hotels of the 1940s, owner-designer Lim Du Mihn stocks a well-curated and eclectic trove of French, Chinese, and Vietnamese Deco furniture and accessories, including outsize teak-framed mirrors, paneled screens, and low-slung armchairs.
Along with the Archbishop's Residence, this ranks as perhaps the most graceful and visually arresting colonial building in Saigon, full of rococo flourish and wonderful wedding-cake detail.
Irony comes to Ho Chi Minh City at this perfectly named boutique that trades in Socialist-themed ephemera: Communist Party T-shirts, Uncle Ho coffee mugs, key-chains emblazoned with NVA tanks, and more.
Bespoke couturier Nguyen Cong Tri fashions runway-worthy satin and silk frocks at ready-to-wear prices (a floaty, turquoise chiffon dress for under $300). But don't expect a quick turnaround: it will take up to 10 days and a couple of fittings (shipping is available).
The fabulously embellished, often downright zany handbags of Hong Kong native and Hanoi resident Christina Yu are sold in Paris and London at three times the price; here you'll find her latest designs as well as a small selection of shoes and costume jewelry.
Stepping into L'Usine is a whole other sensory experience: the light-filled industrial space (polished concrete floors; exposed beams) holds a café, a gallery, and a bevy of casual-cool clothing labels—even a selection of vintage bikes.
This friendly store—one of many similar cotton shops on Le Thanh Ton—ranks as one of the street's best. The accommodating staff, which speaks halting but comprehensible English, will make simple embroidered cotton or linen sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and napkins to your specifications.
Parents of little girls thank heaven for Than Thuy, an unassuming shop packed to the rafters with adorable gingham dresses with Peter Pan collars, plaid jumpers, and eyelet nightgowns—all meticulously embroidered, stitched, and smocked by hand.
Valerie Gregori McKenzie, a French clothing designer based in Saigon, sells her breezy resort wear (sundresses, tops, and sarongs in soft cotton, silk, and linen) and yoga separates at this pleasant and well-run boutique, which emphasizes ethical sourcing of fabrics.

Interesting that it takes three months from RTM to shipment. Good timing for the holidays though.
quote:its official. In a post on the Windows Team Blog, Microsoft posted a picture of Steven Sinofsky speaking at the companys annual sales meeting, where he announced that Windows 8 will be made available on October 26. New computersin desktop, mobile, and tablet form factorswill be available on that date, as will upgrade editions of the OS, for users looking to update their current PCs.
I bet win 8 will change the way computers, tablets and cellphones work.

The Victory Garden
Light Up Your GardenSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
Host Jamie Durie visits the renowned Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California, to take a closer look at specimens that reflect light, absorb light or bring light into the garden. Meanwhile, gardening correspondent Paul Epsom is in New York City searching for a cleaner, greener Big Apple. The city is attempting to shrink its carbon footprint, and one of the ways it's succeeding is through the "Million Trees" initiative. The New York Restoration Project is behind this effort - planting trees one at a time - and it's starting to make a real difference. Finally, Chef Michel Nischan creates a delicious, healthy "three sisters" succotash featuring beans, corn and pumpkin.

Leaving the slum, then to Caspar (camping)
I've never been so happy to leave a hotel. This place was a DUMP.
We stopped by Point Reyes national park for some (more) good views, but mostly just enjoyed the scenery along route 1.
The dogs are doing well, as is the camper. We're happy Caspar is getting the help he needs, but sad to see him go.
We found a neat campsite with a beautiful ocean view (Caspar beach rv park), and settled for the night. Campfire w/ BBQ and beer. Life is good.
Off to San Francisco
... merging that it is very confused. We were able to bypass the city which was good (except Terry was hungry and we couldn't find a place to get off to eat but he got over it. ) He did find a Carl's Jr restaurant so everyone was happy. Our plan was to go to Carmel by the Sea (just north of San Francisco) and then to San Simeon where the Hearst Castle is housed. You can tour the castle and we understand it is very ...
Nice day on the Headlands and Fine Dining Splurge
Got up and decided to walk the headlands in town. They are also very beautiful and there were several school groups walking around as well. There was also a group that were coming back from kayaking out in the bay. The wind was really blowing but they did not seem to get in there way. They had to carry all of the kayaks up a narrow path up to the headlands where we were walking! Whew!
We saw some seals but not as many as we had seen the day ...
Mexican Poker
... to an attached small bar next door. It appeared that the Mexican population of Fort Bragg were in that bar. Something that I had never considered is that we were moving closer to the Mexican boarder and the Spanish language had became more prominent. We shortly found out that it was Spanish karaoke night which always brought a crowd. Around ten o'clock the singing commenced with no shortage of participants. A ...
Fancy in Fort Bragg
... ne Art verfr�htes Geburtstagsgeschenk.
F�rs Nachtessen gings zu einem italienischen Restaurant mit dem Namen Aurelios. Der Typ vom Hotel sagte, es gibt grosse Portionen da.
Und scheiss die Wand an, die waren gross. Wir hatten f�r den ganzen n�chsten Tag auch was zu Essen.
Fort Bragg war nur ein weiterer "One-Night-Stand". Bekommt eine ganz andere Bedeutung. Morgen gehts weiter nach San Francisco

Jennings facing World Cup fitness battle

June 1, 2011

Leinster flanker Shane Jennings has undergone surgery on a broken arm, leaving his hopes of making Ireland's Rugby World Cup squad in the balance.
The 29-year-old, capped nine times by his country, was injured in last weekend's Magners League Grand Final loss to Munster at Thomond Park.
Early reports suggest a lay-off of eight weeks, giving the former Leicester openside a chance of playing a part in Ireland's World Cup warm-up games in August.
Declan Kidney's men will play Scotland, France (twice) and England prior to the tournament in New Zealand, with Ulster flanker Stephen Ferris another currently on the injured list.
Munster's David Wallaces is the current holder of the Ireland No.7 jersey, with Jennings' Leinster team-mate, Sean O'Brien, also comfortable in the position.
