Greece has any of the most paradise symptom in the grouping, with over hundreds of Hellene islands that whatever say you can never terminate exploring in your period. Virtually every beach in Greece is perfect too, so filtering out the exceptional ones was a small erect.
We advantage with the beaches of the Kikladhes Islands, the Red Dirt Beach in Santorini Island beingness the most uncomparable out of my selections. Red lava cliffs, disgraceful and red dirt, it near sounds suchlike a representation from Mars. Notwithstanding, it couldn't be much contrasting. The cliffs plunk into the shoreline below which is met by the crystalize downhearted sea.
The exotic beach of Firiplaka would be up next. Situated on Milos Island, large rocks warrant the shoreline and crystalline actress mesmerize everyone who gets a amount to visit this bonnie beach. Another beach located on Milos Island couturier going to would be the Gerontas Beach… The mulct grayish soil and transparent actress complete the perfect situation and is a grade of what robust example truly is.
The most lovely tho' in Milos Island would but the most unequalled Sarakiniko Beach. With its dot person rough landscape against the turquoise gamey sea surrounding it, this beach is truly a formerly in a period moldiness see.
Road on, the beaches of Sporades Islands touch quite a few jewels as healed. Begin out with the Beaches of Agios Dimitrios and Chrysi Milia; the latter said to be the most splendiferous on the Island of Alonissos. They both differ in the signified that the sometime caters more to isolation whereas Chrysi Milia offers element sports and can get pretty jammed during the summer with group of puppylike and old walking its halcyon shimmered shores.
Works in the Sporades seats, the beaches of Koukounaries and Lalaria on Skiathos Island force their blond acquire of attention. Koukounaries, said to be the most favourite beach, is also said to be the most unspoilt beach of the Mediterranean.
If you're sensing for beaches in the Ionian Islands, cognition for the beaches of Mytros and Navagio. Myrtos is advised to have to most lovely beach on the Kefalonia Island and in the Ionian Islands, with its auspicious sands and turquoise vocalizer (almost unintegrated) and stony drop environment.
As for Navagio, this beach is likely the most famous of all the Hellene beaches, with its shipwrecked occasion on the white sands of the beach. This attractive paradise is tucked off so you'll exclusive be healthy to get there by dish, but rely me; it's writer than designer the 30minute trip.

Consensus opinion has landed on sanity but such a condition does not hold some political partisans to that standard. The calls for "civility" continue to refrain from the usual suspects despite the evidence that the sparking incident was a single individual's metal instability. Loughner had a long held dislike for Congresswoman Giffords, as early as 2007 by reports. In case time and history are challenging to one, no one except Alaskans had heard of Sarah Palin before the late Summer of 2008.
In 2007 Glenn Beck was a radio host and a CNN Headline News minor personality, but certainly NOT the media icon he has since become – Beck joined Fox about the same time Obama was sworn in as president. But Limbaugh and Hannity were around in 2007, so maybe all this is their fault, right? Still, I don't think so. And what happened to the calls for civility?
Is Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen comparing Republicans to Nazi's civil by any definition? How is removing any reference to war or fighting in political rhetoric going to make us a better nation? And if it were, why do the calls for civility seem to only emanate from the left toward the right? Isn't this apparent BS and PC efforts to quiet the opposition to progressivism?
Is it civil for Chris Matthews to call Congresswoman Michele Bachmann "close to a nut case?" Is it civility for Democrat Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee to characterize the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare as "killing people?" Isn't that the epitome of scare tactics, besides the fact that Congresswoman Lee is misrepresenting the facts, reality and truth? Oh and the lame brain Jackson Lee is, she claims repealing Obamacare is unconstitutional! What an idiot and liar too boot! I thought it was Republicans only who were guilty of scare tactics?
Have reader's seen the video of the South Carolina NAACP event honoring Dr. King? They chose a location that had a large statue of George Washington, and guess what? The NAACP folks built a wall around the statue of our first president. I guess President Washington was a Tea Party American?

How To Train Your New Dog
When you first bring your new dog home, it can be an exciting time for both of you. Sometimes, your dog may even get a little too excited! You're going to want that potty training as soon as possible, and there are other types of training you may be interested in as well. When potty training, always take your dog out the same door to use the bathroom. That way, your dog will know which door to go to when he (or she) needs to go outside. Always reward your dog for desirable behavior, too. That principle applies to more than just potty training, as we're about to see.
Other Behavioral Training
Some of the other negative behaviors you may want to train your dog to avoid are jumping, chewing, and begging. A lot of people have had success filling a soda can half way with pennies and then shaking it when their dogs do these things. They don't like that sound. Don't allow your puppy to do things you won't let them do when they're full grown, either. It confuses them. It's important to make sure your dog is getting plenty of exercise as well. That in and of itself will help reduce the frequency of some of these undesirable behaviors.
Basic Commands
Some of the basic commands you're going to want to train your dog to obey include sit, stay, and come. Besides being some of the most useful things for your dog to know, the good news is that these are also some of the easiest commands to train. It takes a lot of repetition and positive reinforcement, but eventually your dog will learn to recognize these commands. Effective means of positive reinforcement include treats, verbal praise, belly rubs, and additional play time. Training sessions should be short and frequent, too. This is the kind of thing that should be worked on throughout the day.
The Fun Stuff
Some fun, but potentially less useful commands you can tech your dog to obey include things like speak, roll over, shake, and play dead. They are slightly more difficult to train, but your dog should still be able to learn them after a reasonable number of repetitions. To teach speak, find out what makes your dog bark to begin with, like a knock on the door. Give the command, knock on the door, and reward your dog for barking. Eventually, your dog will obey the command without the knock. Before teaching roll over or play dead, you have to teach lie down, which is similar to teaching sit.
Remembering What Really Matters
Some dogs may have more trouble learning some of these commands than others, and some dogs may never learn some of them. All dogs should be able to eventually learn at least the most basic ones, though, and there's also one more thing that all dogs have in common: All dogs are loving, loyal and fun. That's what really matters. Just because your dog may not be able to complete an obstacle course, or even shake on command, doesn't mean he loves you any less.

I didn't read Norvs last interview as a cut on the players and AJ did have final say on talent other than the final roster. You can't build a house of brick if all you have is straw and sticks to work with. Meachem just couldn't get the x's & o's down coming from a trash and dash system, it didn't look like he can read a defense. Royal was a MASH unit unto himself and seemed to drop as many balls as he caught. The O-line is indescribable, maybe Harris' baptism by fire gave him a head start on next year but that remains to be seen. Hopefully whatever is left in the deep freeze, Dombo, Schilling and the Trout under the right guidance might be useful come next season. Defense I don't see as needing as much rework, SILB, one CB and a SS in addition to the foundation and they should be able to run with the big dogs. Of course this is taking into account the offense can sustain some drives and score TD's. Limit giveaways and some of the back to back penalties committed when in scoring position and killing even a FG attempt. Their first year under Pags has been better than the three prior years and they are young and still have a high ceiling above them. With the right GM and HC, I can't see them getting much worse than last year and I'm sure they can get better and compete. Who knows, with the right tweaks a strong push can lead to a wildcard spot with parity and injuries all being equal.
The Chargers basically need 4 new starters on the line (LT,G,C,RT). Two of them might be on the roster already (Harris at RT, Molk at C), and we can probably add a LT to start while keeping Gaither on the roster as a back-up (or the other way around). We could stand improvement at the TE position, and we need depth at CB. Other than that, this team is good to go. Our front 7 needs no real work whatsoever, except maybe to add another passrusher, with that being a luxury acquisition, rather than a desperate need. We could probably sign any RB off the street who can hold onto the ball if we can just get some road graders at guard or an OC willing to adopt a ZB scheme. I think that the bottom line with Norv's viewpoint is that this team is far away from being in the playoffs in the context of being able to get there using his scheme. I think that a HC/OC who actually fits his scheme to our personnel would likely find the task less impossible.
The OL was a huge problem, but that was created by AJ, and AJ is responsible for not providing even an OK backup to Gaither who has had injuries and laziness issues and for not providing anyone worth a crap at LG and continuing to ride the Clary wagon at RT. So although the OL was the biggest on field problem, that problem was a result of AJ failing to do an adequate job. So yes, AJ and Norv were the 2 biggest issues because nearly all other issues are a result of their failures
I was speaking more in general terms there than I was specifically about this quote. I should have specified that a little better. People seem to be of the belief that just because something is the truth that it means it's fine to state it anywhere and everywhere. That's not always the case. It probably is here, though. As for the rest, I don't think it's as unrealistic as Norv states it is that this team can make the playoffs next year.
Fun fact: Norv Turner is the only head coach in the history of the NFL to have 100+ wins and 100+ losses and a sub-.500 record.
Norv is right. But this is also part of the reason he should've been fired. He allowed it to happen and kept his mouth shut. He is too nice to be a Head Coach in the NFL. While AJ was f--king things up in negotiations, Norv should've been rocking the boat publicly and letting Dean know this was killing his organization. But that's not Norv's style. So he leaves with the respect of the players, coaches, and executives... but not the fans. I think he's comfortable with that. And at some point he'll be the OC on a team that ends up thumping the Chargers. And he'll smile big.
Can, but frankly I thought it was classy that he asked for the fans to be patient for the incoming regiem. I dont see it as negative or pot shots at all.
AJ explained it earlier this year. He felt that Gaither backed up by Dombrowski was the way to go. AJ clearly screwed the pooch on that one.
You know , listening to this BS from Norv makes me laugh. If Norv had any kind of nuts at all he would have been in AJs office demanding players and maybe questioning some of the moves and draft choices. But not Norv. He is such a milquetoast that he just sat quietly and watched it all happen. I put it all on AJ at this point. AJ hires a know toady/ yes man to be his coach and then walks all over him, just like everyone thought he would. We all said when Norv was hired that he would be a pantywaist and he was. But now Norv standing there and telling us all tht the team has run dry of talent... Well... No sh1t Sherlock. Why is it tat you never spoke up Norv and demanded real talent for tis team instead of sitting there with your lips locked and silent?
How the **** do you know what Norv said to AJ? Do you have some special knowledge of their working relationship?
If Norv was unhappy he could always have left (like Marty did) but he didn't, he was willing to go along quietly with every mistake AJ did.
Marty didn't leave, he was fired...... Dean fired him. If Marty "left", then Dean wouldn't have had to pay him what was left on his contract, now would he?
Norv's gone and good riddance. Who really gives a crap what he thinks now? IF he thought the team was so low on talent why didn't the guy say or do something? Nope- he kept his mouth shut- proving he was nothing but AJs "yes man". Nothing stinks of sour grapes worse than pooping on your GM on the way out the door. It doesn't take much in the nuts department to bad mouth your boss on the way out the door. When he should have said something- when it could have made a difference - he was quieter than the Sphinx on a hot Egyptian summer day.
I'd hazard to say that you haven't a clue what Norv did, or did not, say to AJ......... no ******* clue.

Skiing and time travel
Level of Lucidity: N/A Level of Cohesiveness:Lucid Intent? No
This dream has been viewed 137 times.
I was skiing with my family somewhere. Mom and I were together, I think because we wanted to do easier runs (blue and green). I seemed to be pretty bad at skiing. At the point where one of the blue runs intersected with the main drag (which we went down several times as a whole family before dad and Grant split off), there were three little jump things, which were labeled as double black diamond. They were apparently "extreme moguls". Later we were going to a food court area. To get in you had to walk through this thing that was a combination of a carousel and a revolving door. It blocked the entrance like a revolving door, but it had no partitions, had fancy benches and poles to hold onto, and occasionally it would change its direction of rotation. When I first got on I could hardly keep my balance, but then there was a helpful announcement reminding me of physics, and that it would be more stable on the inside instead of the outside. Once inside the food court area, I set down my stuff (which happens to have been my laptop, my bible and my notebook) on a table. When I come back after getting food, Cait and someone else are sitting at the table. I take my laptop and stick it in my backpack and they don't seem to notice, but as I reach for my bible, they question whether it's really mine (someone else comes up to the table at this point, a potential alternative owner to the bible). I look back at the table, and there's another bible sitting on it that looks almost identical to mine. I look at both, but its impossible to tell the difference between the two from the sermon notes, because it looks like my cursive handwriting (which is strange because I never write on the sermon notes, much less in cursive). Same thing happens for my notebook, but eventually I notice that one is strangely bound and doesn't have as many pages. Looking at it more closely, I figure out that it's a photocopy. I am then able to do the same thing with the bibles (the sermon notes are photocopied…no telling how they got the rest of the bible duplicated!). Apparently Cait and her friend thought it would be a good prank because they were drunk.
After skiing we (my family) were driving and dad kept on looking for different landmarks in the nearby mountains, including the ski resort. This was slightly scary, since he was the driver, and we wanted to look for the things in the mountains as well, so we didn't really want to look at the road for him.
Later we are staying in a tent with a couple of random people with superpowers. We're doing some sort of time travel, but one day we do it at the wrong time, which apparently screws things up. They say something about us "losing the first hour" and a baby is sitting outside of tent. It starts playing with animated toys, and the female person who is with us keeps on telling someone to "wake up" and I can't tell if she's talking to the baby or the small person that its playing with, or something entirely different. After a bit, it is apparently too late and we are transported somewhere else to fight some sort of boss person for doing time travel wrong. The female is very happy because we have 6 people instead of the normal two (she's screwed up before) and because we'll get multiplied and more powerful before we face the boss (it's some sort of effort to make the battle more fair or something) then we'll actually have a very good chance of beating him. The boss is a 2-D black and white shaman/priest looking dude, in the style of the people in Secret of Kells. We very quickly set up what he wants – we get stars to bow down to him and the moon to sing hallelujah for him. He seems awestruck, and then I wake up.
Additional Comments:
I had't noticed the vague Joseph-like reference in the end (stars and the moon bowing down) until now (3/23/12). Don't know if that was a recent memory, old memory, or just a coincidence at the time.

Forged and decorated in Moulins, this partly gilded steel set of gardening implements, enhanced by mother-of-pearl, is engraved with motifs of fruit and foliage, the products of their use. The set includes billhooks for removing branches and clippers that could be mounted on a pole. A pruning knife, saw, and combination hammer and auger to cleave tree bark for bud grafts are evidence of the care taken in trimming and directing tree branches.

Villanova took a commanding lead in the first half, and had to hold on for dear life in the end. When the smoke cleared, the Wildcats held on, beating Rutgers 77-71 in Big East Conference basketball Thursday night at the RAC.
Rutgers (13-17, 5-12) had a brutal first half, only scoring 19 points before turning on the jets in a losing effort. Four starters were in double-digits including Dane Miller who had 16 points and nine rebounds.
Both Myles Mack and Eli Carter shot woefully from the field, shooting 4 of 15 and 4 of 14 respectively.
Jay Wright had to be losing his mind, watching his team take a 28-9 advantage early only to see the Scarlet Knights come within one point. However, a win is a win.
Villanova (12-17, 5-12) has to be encouraged though watching Maalik Wayns. The junior looked much better on Thursday than he did against Georgetown, scoring 18 points while notching eight assists.
JayVaughn Pinkston also had a solid game with 18 points and Mouphtaou Yarou had a double-double with 10 points and rebounds apiece.
The loss continues the Scarlet Knights recent run of futility. Rutgers has lost six of seven.
Rutgers will host Senior Night on Saturday against St. John's.

Client: Bill Haigh, GIS Manager at Gippsland Water
Gippsland Water is undertaking field verification of the details of customer water meters. The project entails field officers walking a "meter route" and inspecting the meters on relevant properties to verify their location, size and type. To assist the five field officers to collect the information efficiently, Gippsland Water contracted Spatial Vision to develop a custom mobile application using ESRI's ArcPad.
The previous Customer Point dataset included a pseudo point representing water meters within a property, typically in the centre. A key functional requirement for the field application was the ability for officers to verify the location of water meters and record their true coordinates and position relevant to cadastral mapping. To support this role, Spatial Vision recommended the purchase of differentially corrected GPS connected (via Bluetooth) to a Pocket PC. The GPS is used to record the physical location of the meter with an accuracy of 1-3 metres. The Pocket PC includes a custom ArcPad mapping application to enable the officer to visualise the meter against a cadastre backdrop and snap the meter to the GPS location.
Before going into the field, each officer selects a meter route that is loaded onto the Pocket PC. In the field, the officer activates the GPS and custom application on the Pocket PC which will centre the map over the GPS location. The custom application allows editing of existing meters, creation of new meters, and updating of text details. When meters are updated, they change colour to indicate that they have been edited. Back in the office, the captured data is synchronised with corporate databases.
Within a few weeks of operation of the application, field officers identified asset data anomalies and started to contribute to enhancing the asset data management and the billing system in general. Gippsland Water is responsible for the provision of high quality water, wastewater and waste recovery services to Central Gippsland in Victoria and believes more accurate asset data will lead to better customer services.
Demonstrated Capabilities
- Understanding of current GPS capabilities
Design of system architecture and data model.
Understanding of the Windows CE Environment, including VBScript and synchronisation with desktop computers
Customisation of ArcPAD environment, data extraction tools and data-entry forms
Ability to understand water authority business practices
Ishara Kotiah was responsible for design of the data model and development of the product.
Technologies Applied

Toby Keith's Hits 50-50 Mark, Going Off Probation
The St. Louis Park bar and restaurant was able to raise food sales to city standards.
It's been a long year and a half for Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill, but the St. Louis Park establishment has finally hit the city's 50-50 food-to-liquor ratio and will go off probation. The bar and grill has had a probationary liquor license from the city since February of 2011, when Toby Keith's sales were at 31 percent food and 67 percent liquor. The city has required local establishments sell at least 50 percent food since 2000 in an effort to keep standalone bars out of St. Louis Park. As punishment, City Council can put non-complying locales on probation, impose fines, or even revoke liquor licenses.

The case against Paul Ryan for vice president
On Tuesday we made the case for why Mitt Romney should pick Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee.
Today we argue the opposite case.
* The Ryan budget: Democrats are salivating — not literally but damn close — over the prospect of Romney putting Ryan on the ticket, believing that by doing so Romney could cost Republicans not just the presidency but the House and Senate due to the controversial budget plan that bears the Wisconsin House Member's name.
Here's what David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Obama's campaign, tweeted out on Ryan and Romney Monday:
Interesting that Boehner weighed in 4 Portman as VP & not his own member, Paul Ryan. Is he feeling the weight of Romney-Ryan budget on GOP?
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) August 6, 2012
At the center of that budget is Ryan's call to fundamentally overhaul Medicare, a critical piece of the social safety net that has a huge impact in the life of many people older Americans.
Those older voters are also the most reliable group of voters in every election — and a critical constituency for Republicans. In 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain won voters aged 60+ by just four points, half the margin that George W. Bush enjoyed in 2004 among that same group.
To beat Obama, Romney has to improve on McCain's margin among older voters, and Democrats believe that will be simply impossible if he has to defend the Ryan budget every day between now and Nov. 6.
While Romney will undoubtedly have to push back against critiques of the Ryan budget, which he has praised publicly in the past, even without Ryan on the ticket, it would be a thousand times more difficult/complicated if the Wisconsin Republican was his ticketmate.
And does Romney want to spend the final two and a half months of the presidential campaign defending a budget plan he had no hand in crafting? He shouldn't.
* Congress connection = bad: People hate Congress — and Washington more generally. That Romney has never spent any time in either is a major plus for his candidacy.
Ryan, on the other hand, is very much a creature of the nation's capital. Not only has he served in Congress since 1998 — he's currently the chairman of the Budget Committee — but he also did stints as an aide to Sens. Bob Kasten (Wisc.) and Sam Brownback (Kans.) in the 1990s.
Ryan's tenure in Congress and his perceived closeness to the party leadership — all of whom blessed his budget proposals as the official document outlining their vision — mean that putting him on the ticket would make Romney answerable for everything Congressional Republicans have done in the past decade and, in particular, the last few years since they re-took the majority. Does Romney want to voluntarily take on that burden?
* Political acumen?: One of the most curious — and little known — facts about Ryan is that he is not a terribly political creature, preferring to immerse himself in the wonkiness of budgets rather than study the ebbs and flows of the electorate. (In keeping with that policy focus, Ryan lacks any significant political/consulting team around him.)
That may be all well and good for a Member of Congress but a lack of interest/acumen for the political game isn't a good thing in a vice presidential nominee.
(If you need evidence of the dangers of picking a veep with little natural political instinct and no one in their inner circle with deep experience in national politics, we have two words for you: Sarah Palin.)
Romney badly needs a vice presidential pick who can be a political asset not a neutral force politically or even a political liability. Ryan could be that on the campaign trail but based on what we know now, picking him would be a clear risk for Romney.

Too early to conclude elephant's involvement
| James Kon |
With regards to a recent case where a woman was found dead in Jerudong, the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) has refuted speculations that her body parts were scattered on the road.
At a press conference with the Criminal Investigation Department yesterday, senior police personnel disclosed that the body parts of the deceased were found in a specific area, and not on the road. The incident occurred where the elephant was located, they said.
The police said it was still too early to come to a conclusion that the elephant was not involved, as investigations are still ongoing.
He revealed that the police are working closely with the Forensic Department and pathologist to provide a clearer picture, however a full report from the pathologist is not ready. The report will be out once a thorough examination is completed.
Even if the pathologist's report is released, he said, "We will not be able to provide any information on the outcome because in an investigation, the pathologist's report is one issue and the circumstance surrounding it is a separate issue. We have to put the puzzle together and will have to take the case to the Attorney General's Chambers for further advice. As long as the case is not brought to the court, we can only provide limited information."
Currently the case is not categorised as murder and the investigation is undergoing.
On a separate case whereby a Filipino man was allegedly assaulted by several men last Monday night in Gadong, the police have revealed that there will be positive development in the case and an arrest will be made in the coming days.
Meanwhile, in the case of two Pizza Hut staff who were robbed in broad daylight on February 27, 2013 in the Gadong area, the police are currently looking for suspects relating to the robbery and seeking the public to come forward with any information about the case.
According to the police, it is confirmed that the staff sustained injuries from stabbing.
The police added, "All the cases are not connected . Things just happened randomly."
To further ensure the public's safety, the Royal Brunei Police Force will increase its patrol and presence in public places as a precautionary measure.

Pittman builds confidence
HUNTINGTON -- Elijah Pittman's pressure 3-point field goal kept the Marshall University men's basketball team afloat in a Sunday game at Hofstra.
Shaquille Stokes made a foul shot with 19 seconds left and Hofstra led Marshall, 85-82.
Marshall guard Dre Kane rushed the basketball past halfcourt. The Thundering Herd worked it around and four players touched it before Pittman caught it and shot.
Swish. Pittman's 3-pointer with seven seconds to go tied the game.
Hofstra eventually won, 103-100, in double-overtime, but Pittman sent a message to future foes, including the Nevada Wolfpack (3-1) that visits Marshall (2-3) for a 7 p.m., Saturday, game in Cam Henderson Center.
"That's really just out of my confidence," he said. "Just catch it and shoot. Just like in practice."
Marshall took a break from practice Thursday afternoon to help serve Thanksgiving dinners at the Huntington City Mission.
Head coach Tom Herrion hosted the team in his home for some turkey.
Pittman, a 6-foot-9 junior college transfer from Lamar State College in Port Arthur, Texas, shot 56 percent from the field and averaged 18.1 points last season while getting 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots per game.
So far, his transition to the NCAA Division I level has been smooth.
Kane leads the team with an 18.0 scoring average followed by Pittman's 14.2. Dennis Tinnon leads the team with an 8.2 rebounding average and Pittman is second at 6.8.
Pittman has connected on 24 of 45 field goals (53.3 percent), gone 7-for-20 on 3-point attempts (35.0) and is the Herd's top free throw shooter at 16-for-18 for 88.9 percent.
He also has 10 assists, five blocked shots and three steals.
Scoring comes easy, the Covington, Ky., native said.
"But that's not really what we need right now," he said.
Winning starts on defense, and Pittman said Herd players need to communicate with each other more and develop a "want to" attitude about playing defense.
Pittman said improved defense will turn the tables and get the season headed in the right direction.
"When it happens, it's going to be good," he said.

Brother and sister Jake and Elle came under fire in their Sunshine Coast, Queensland instant restaurant Costa del Sol. After talking the fine dining talk for the first four episodes of My Kitchen Rules, they served up a main of T-bone Steak with Mushroom Ragu, Silverbeet, Radicchio and Potato and Parsnip Gratin that judge Pete Evans described as "meat and three veg" and "pub food". Like Manu, he awarded it just 5 points.Law and business student Elle, 22, and performance and dance student Jake, 20, set fire to a saucepan and had to remake parts of their starter and dessert. Despite some amusing bickering – "Calm ya farm," Jake told a panicking Elle – they saved the dishes and proved they have what it takes to work under pressure. Their entree of Rabbit, Pancetta and Thyme Ravioli won them two eights from the judges, while their dessert of Orange and Basil Syrup Cake with Basil Ice Cream, Candied Orange and Toffee Shard landed them two nines.A total score of 65 placed them at the second bottom of the leaderboard, above Spice Girls Jessie and Biswa, who had launched a full on assault ("I taste it, I hate it," said Jessie about the Ravioli) and scored Jake and Elle a measly 1. The Spice Girls are on tenterhooks as they'll be leaving the show if South Australian romantics Lisa and Stefano score higher than them in the next episode.Check out when My KItchen Rules is on next on our TV Guide.
nothing wrong with T-Bone or am i just a plain old queenslander?. did anyone notice that Jake was up at Bundaberg cooking for the flood victims at tent city in his own time? i thought it was a good gesture. i am pleased the "spice girls" got eliminated tonight. i thought "spiteful girls" was a better name for them.
ReplyWhat is wrong with a good T/B love it !!! and i will no longer whatch the show until the indian dogs are in it))) 2 moust un educated person ( dogs) i ever seen .
ReplyWhats the big deal with a T Bone steak, is it not accepted in a resturant any more or is too enjoyable for the clients to enjoy at there venue, sort of comment I would expect from the spice dags, Love a good T Bone Steak a least you can tuck into it and enjoy rather than some of the other rubbish being cooked up lately
Replyjessie and biswa are most certainly the most sorest spiteful people i have come across on the show...all they have done from the start is look and talk every1 else down and tell them all they were going to get everything perfect including scores...and to add to that the fact all of their dishes were over 2 hours late from what i remember and they had the hide to say "no more boring dinners" to ad to the put downs of the other teams... yet they have had one of the lowest ever scores in the shows history for what i cann remember...aside from the fact they seem to not like very much variety of food if anything at all that they dont cook i mean come on what else could they add to the list of i dont likes in regaurds to food.....and now lucky for the show and other teams their is only one more team to cook because after their score and negative feedback which they didnt like they are giving extremely ridiculous and sour scores of 1 means to me that they are just trying to make the others feel bad with their nasty comments and keep their scores low because they failed at their chance...i hope they dont survive the next round because they just are not nice people in my opinion
Reply#$%$ all those claiming they won't watch the show again until something happens or someone goes. You'll keep tuning in just to get hot under the collar, and the producers of the show will have planned it that way. You're part of their scheme, like it or not!

Hi Tom, Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that Des Hammil has a book on Webers in addition to the one on SUs. My copy's packed with the other Hammil, Vizard and Bell books. Gotta dig those out as soon as it starts to cool off. Most of the newer additions to my library I ordered from Amazon, IIRC. Summer's finally arrived with a vengeance here in central Texas with temp bumping over 100, so it'll be a couple of months before I start digging around in a store room that faces due west. I also have a couple of Weber books from the '70s that list various engines, applications and include carb recommendation along with suggested choke sizes, emulsion tube number and (I think) suggested jetting. I'll see if I can't locate those. When I do I'll let you folks know and you can email me if you want to see what "the book" suggests for what you're playing with. These aren't carved in stone of course, but it should get you in the ball park. FWIW, Ron |

Tucker Hibbert Injury Update
Monday, April 2, 2012 | 11:25 AMMonday, April 2 - Monster Energy/Arctic Cat's Tucker Hibbert had a set back last week in his recovery from a grade four kidney laceration he sustained Saturday, March 17 in Wisconsin at the final ISOC National Snocross event of the season. After being released from the hospital in Milwaukee and spending two days at home, Hibbert started experiencing complications from the injury. He was hospitalized again Monday through Friday of last week.Due to the injury, Hibbert missed the second day of the ISOC Grand Finale in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin as well as Clash of Nations in Sweden. This was the first time in his twelve years of racing snowmobiles professionally he missed a scheduled event due to injury.
Hibbert will remain under close observation by his doctors the coming months. There is no realistic timeline set on his return to racing motocross this summer.
Tucker Hibbert:
"I've been really fortunate throughout my racing career to only have a few injuries and all of them have been either broken bones or torn ligaments. It's been hard couple of weeks because internal injuries are unpredictable. I'm thankful my kidney is healing, fully functioning and that I didn't end up having it removed. I haven't seen the video of the crash and I'm not sure what I hit. I didn't have one bruise or scratch on my stomach or back from the crash. I think my TekVest saved me from a much more severe injury. I'm thankful to be home again and am completely focused on my recovery."
Stay connected to his website along with his Facebook and Twitter accounts for updates on his recovery.

United Way sets $1.6 million goal for 2012 campaign
October 1, 2012 · 10:06 AM
POULSBO — United Way of Kitsap County has set a goal of raising $1.6 million in its 2012 Community Campaign.
"For the past four years, due to this very long recession, we have slowly slipped below our best campaign when, in 2007, we raised $1.86 million," board president Walter Washington said.
Funds raised will help support 36 community service organizations and programs in Kitsap County. See the list at www.unitedwaykitsap.org/our_work.html.
"We have lost $400,000 [in annual fundraising] during this recession," Washington said. "This year, the board deliberated and decided that we needed to push hard so we set a campaign goal of $1.6 million. We also set a board goal of $20,000 to help lead the way."
This year, United Way of Kitsap County celebrates its 75th year of serving residents of Kitsap County.
In 1937, residents of Bremerton came together and created the Bremerton Community Fund, which raised $12,630.63 its inaugural year. In the ensuing years, the fund was known as the Community Fund, the War Fund, Community Chest and United Good Neighbors. In 1970, the United Way name and logo were formally adopted and the vast majority of the nation's Community Chests and United Good Neighbors all became known as United Way.
All United Way organizations across the country are locally organized, locally operated by an independent board of directors who set local United Way policy and make all of the local funding decisions.
In 2007, the United Way movement raised more than $4 billion and became the nation's largest charitable organizations. United Way of Kitsap County had its best annual community campaign that year. Since then, the recession has taken its toll.
"If United Way is going to continue to be the go-to organization for community funding, we need to step up and make this the turn-around year for the annual Community Campaign" Washington said.
"We need to once again learn to be self-reliant and come together as a community to help those less fortunate. I ask you to look into your heart and help United Way begin climbing back toward that high-dollar campaign of 2007."

ROVI Corp. (ROVI) is a compelling long trading at about 11x forward EPS. This valuation is very attractive relative to management's guidance for 20% long term operating profit growth. ROVI has dominant market positions and a relatively high mix of high margin, recurring revenue. The company's growth is tied to several secular trends including growing media consumption on mobile devices such as tablets, smart-phones and laptops and the growth of Over-The-Top ("OTT") video services such as those offered by Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN) and Hulu.
Business Description
ROVI is a technology company focused on the discovery, delivery, display and monetization of digital entertainment. It is best known for its discovery intellectual property which almost all North American pay TV service providers such as Comcast (CMCSA), DirecTV (DTV), EchoStar (DISH) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) license in order to offer their customers an interactive programming guide ("IPG"). Licensing agreements vary but several sell-side analysts estimate that ROVI receives at least about 20c per month per subscriber for their IPG patents. The company also sells advertising inventory within these guides and its "metadata" which allows its customers to include cover art and information such as a short blurb about what a specific show is about. ROVI also does business with consumer electronics companies. These customers also license ROVI's IPGs as well as several other technologies such as DivX, a high quality video compression-decompression software library.
Investment Highlights:
- Increased number of use-cases will drive higher licensing revenue from new and existing customers. ROVI licenses its technology by use-case. Pay TV service providers have historically paid ROVI for the TV use-case. Now that consumers have a desire to be able to watch TV from any device that has a screen, service providers are being forced to pay ROVI more for the "TV Everywhere" use-case. The increased range of devices for video consumption has also increased the potential number of consumer electronics customers for ROVI. For example, Apple (AAPL) signed a licensing deal in 2010. Time Warner Cable has recently been advertising "In any room on any screen." In case you missed their Superbowl advertisement, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLgzdnfQej4
- OTT is a great opportunity. ROVI recently signed a licensing deal with Hulu. While Hulu is a relatively small service provider with only about 3 million subscribers, the deal shows the strength of ROVI's patents and increases the probability of a favorable outcome for the company's litigation with Netflix and Amazon. ROVI also has developed new IPGs that incorporate OTT that it is up-selling to its existing customers. It calls this "TotalGuide." For example, with TotalGuide, you can search for a specific show and get back not only when Comcast may be airing it, but also if it is currently available through your subscription with Hulu.
- Recent licensing agreements with LG and Hulu in Q1 de-risk 2013 estimates. When it gave 2013 guidance, the company was not counting on any revenue from Hulu. Management also guided for the LG licensing agreement to happen in the 2nd half. Bears are quick to point out the fact that management reiterated 2013 guidance following the LG deal. The company also reiterated the fact that 53% of the 2013 revenue will be recognized in the 2nd half. While it is possible that there is some deal slippage, I hypothesize that management reiterated guidance in order to have maximum negotiating leverage with customers for upcoming contract renewals and new licensing agreements. I find it very surprising that Street revenue estimates for Q1 at $152 million have been left unchanged when the LG agreement will likely represent close to $20 million of sales (since it includes a catch-up payment from previous shipments).
- Comcast and EchoStar agreements not currently being captured in earnings. Before it was acquired by ROVI, Gemstar signed a very large 12 year licensing agreement with Comcast and EchoStar for a total of $440 million. Since Gemstar was desperate for the cash, this was paid up-front and was supposed to be recognized as revenue over 12 years. However, when Gemstar was acquired, all this deferred revenue was written off. Consequently, ROVI currently has very large contracts with 2 large customers that it is not recognizing in its income statement. These deals are up for renewal in 2016 and should be renewed at much higher values because (i) ROVI will not be as financially desperate as Gemstar was in 2004 and will therefore likely not push for an upfront payments, (ii) the ARPU and number of digital subscribers at these customers is up significantly since 2004, and (iii) ROVI's patent portfolio is stronger. I estimate that EPS is currently effectively understated by anywhere from 30c to $1 and it is only a matter of time until the earnings from these two important contracts get reflected in ROVI's price.
- New management and improved capital allocation. At the end of 2011, the company replaced its CEO. A new CFO came on board in Q2 2012. Previous management significantly overpaid for an acquisition which was one of the main reasons the stock did so poorly in 2011 and 2012. While the company is still looking for acquisitions, the company appears to be being much more selective and focused. ROVI is actually in the process of divesting a small, money–losing business. Management took advantage of the weakness in the stock last year to accelerate a buyback and reduced the share-count by 5%. The CEO also bought stock in September of 2012.
- International service provider opportunity. The company has relatively lower penetration into the international service provider market. As ROVI increasingly goes after monetizing its patents internationally, its penetration in these markets should increase. Moreover, cross-border mergers can help ROVI's business. For example, Liberty Global's (LBTYA) recent announced acquisition of Virgin Media (VMED) will likely bring in a new customer if Virgin opts-in to Liberty's existing agreement with ROVI.
- Growth set to accelerate. The company has a couple of declining legacy businesses that are offsetting growth in other areas. The good news is that these legacy businesses are going to be very small this year just in time for revenue from new OTT customers and increased revenue from new products, increased international penetration and new use cases to accelerate growth. Management is guiding for 2014 revenue growth of 7 to 12% with the Street at the low end of this range.
A dream but not unreasonable scenario is that the stock's forward EPS multiple rises 50-100% to 15-20x and EPS also grows 60-100% over the next few years for a potential 100-300% return. At the same time, risk appears relatively limited given (i) the company's low multiple on EPS that is arguably not even including revenue from 2 of the company's large customers and (ii) the fact that the LG and Hulu deals were signed earlier than expected.
