Liquor application and amendment fee increases - September 2014
Increases to application fees for liquor licences, approvals and authorisations will apply from 1 September 2014. All application forms will be updated by close of business 29 August 2014.
The full table of fees is available here.
Liquor Act review
The NSW Government response to the statutory review of the Liquor Act 2007 and the Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007 has been released.
The response, along with more information about the review is available here.
Extended trading hours for hotels and clubs for special events
Extended trading hours may be approved for hotels, and for registered clubs licensed after 1 July 2008, to coincide with significant special events. The current list of extended trading hours and dates is available here.
Alcohol restrictions for violent venues
Since October 2008, the Government has implemented a scheme to regulate licensed premises with high levels of assault and other violent incidents. The scheme is implemented based on violent incident data compiled twice yearly by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR). Venues with violent incidents attributed to them are categorised into three levels depending on the number of incidents. Special conditions and restrictions are applied to the venues depending on the level into which they are categorised. The latest information on the scheme and a full list of violent venues is available here.
2014 Easter trading hours and ANZAC Day tips
Each licence type has different trading conditions for the days on and surrounding the Easter long weekend. This fact sheet provides a reference for Easter 2014.
Venues trading on ANZAC Day are also recommended to plan ahead. Read this fact sheet when planning to ensure you have covered everything you need to.
Liquor licence freeze for parts of the City of Sydney local government area
A liquor licence freeze has applied to parts of the City of Sydney local government area since June 2009.
The freeze applies to the Sydney CBD Entertainment Precinct and the Kings Cross Precinct. Maps of the freeze precincts are available here.
Effect of the freeze
The freeze prohibits the grant of new liquor licences for hotels, general bars, registered clubs, on-premises licences for public entertainment venues (nightclubs), packaged liquor licences (liquor stores), and producer/wholesaler premises.
Extended trading, other than in respect of a small bar licence, along with any approvals that would result in an increase in the number of people entering these precincts to drink alcohol and/or result in an increase in the patron capacity of the licensed premises, also cannot be granted.

Cumulative impact of licensed premises research and trial of the Environment and Venue Assessment Tool (EVAT)
The Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing engaged the Allen Consulting Group to undertake research into the cumulative impact of licensed premises in NSW. The research comprised two phases. Phase 1 investigated the factors that contribute to the cumulative impact of licensed premises. It also provided the evidentiary base for Phase 2 of the research, the development of a tool to guide liquor licensing and compliance decisions. NSW Police, Government agencies and local councils, industry groups, business organisations, Liquor Accords, and community groups were consulted during this process. The research identified the economic and social impacts of licence density, and contributing external and market risk and mitigation factors. Density alone is not the sole cause of negative social impacts. The critical point to arise from this phase of the research is the disjuncture between private economic benefits associated with density which are important to those in the liquor industry, and the mostly public economic and social costs of density that are borne by residents, government services and the community in general.
The Environment and Venue Assessment Tool (EVAT), developed under Phase 2 of the research, recognises the broad range of net impacts, accounts for a wide range of risk factors, and supports risk mitigation. The EVAT takes into account both external factors that are beyond the control of either the proponent or the market (e.g. infrastructure and socio-demographic features), and market factors which are related to the liquor sector but are not necessarily the consequence of an individual operator (e.g. a large concentration of premises with extended trading hours). The EVAT is based on two individual assessments: location risk (which accounts for both external and market factors) and venue risk. The tool provides a consistent and transparent basis on which to make licensing decisions.
The EVAT is currently being trialled for new liquor licence applications in the City of Sydney and City of Newcastle local government areas. A further decision regarding the EVAT's use will be made following an evaluation of the twelve month trial and release of the research findings.

Changes to the liquor laws benefit licensees and the community
On 28 October 2009, changes were made to the Liquor Act 2007 to provide benefits to the liquor industry, while also assisting with enforcement of the law and community concerns about neighbourhood disturbance. Read more >>
Practical and real liquor laws
The current liquor laws were introduced on 1 July 2008 - the Liquor Act 2007 and the Liquor Regulation 2008 signalled a comprehensive reform, rewriting laws that had been in place for 25 years.
The laws allow for a variety of hospitality, dining and entertainment choices. The three key objectives of the current laws are to:
- regulate and control the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol in a way that is consistent with the expectations, needs and aspirations of the community
- facilitate the balanced development, in the public interest, of the liquor industry through a flexible and practical system of regulation with minimal formality and technicality
- contribute to the responsible development of related industries such as the live music, entertainment, tourism and hospitality industries.
Community expectations are a major driver behind the laws. So people working in the industry, such as licensees, need to:
- minimise harm associated with misuse and abuse of alcohol (including harm arising from violence and other anti-social behaviour)
- encourage responsible attitudes and practices towards the promotion, sale, supply, service and consumption of alcohol
- ensure that the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol contributes to, and does not detract from, the amenity of community life.

NHRMC's Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital receives $50,000 grant from Will Rogers Institute
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 17 July 2013 22:38
- Written by Super User
New Hanover Regional Medical Center's Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital was recently awarded a $50,000 grant from the Will Rogers Institute for the purchase of two new ventilators. The ventilators are specially-designed for neonatal patients, who often are born with underdeveloped lungs and need mechanical support to survive. "Adding the latest technology to our already clinically advanced technology will be instrumental to provide high quality care, save more lives and reduce the number of chronic lung complications that these infants can potentially develop," said Fernando Moya, M.D., director of neonatology at NHRMC's Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital. "The new ventilators purchased with funding from the Will Rogers Foundation are extraordinarily sophisticated and can measure with every breath the amount of air going in and out of the lungs of these small infants." The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at NHRMC averages more than 100 infants requiring assistance from a ventilator each year. Because their lungs are so small at birth, sometimes only the size of a fingertip, precision equipment is required in order to ensure the babies are getting exactly the right amount of air in the lungs. Two similar ventilators were already part of NHRMC's fleet, but with the growing need, the addition of the new machines is necessary to ensure more babies will be able to get the life-saving treatment they need. "The lungs of premature babies are predisposed to injury because the babies are born months before they are ready to start breathing air," said Mary Ellen Bonczek, chief nursing executive at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. "These machines are very good at targeting the tiny volumes that premature babies require. We are very grateful to the Will Rogers Institute for their generosity."About NHRMC's Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital: Opened in summer 2008, 195,000-square-foot Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital on the campus of New Hanover Regional Medical Center offers obstetrical care for routine and high-risk deliveries, welcoming more than 4,000 new lives each year. For babies born premature or critically ill, the hospital is home to a 45-bed, all-private-room Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the region's first. The Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital also has the only pediatric unit and pediatric intensive care unit in the region. Women admitted to the hospital needing gynecological treatment, including for gynecological oncology, are also cared for in the Betty H. Cameron Women's & Children's Hospital. For more information, visit nhrmc.org/ womensandchildrens.
About the Will Rogers Institute: The Will Rogers Institute is a program of the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, a film industry-sponsored charity named after the great humanitarian, philanthropist and entertainer, Will Rogers. Originally a hospital for tuberculosis-stricken Vaudevillians, the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital was established in 1936 and became a national training facility for doctors treating patients with tuberculosis. Building on that foundation, the Will Rogers Institute is today a national charitable health program focused on research of debilitating lung disorders, medical school training fellowships, and distribution of free health education materials to the general public.
The Institute recently became a national leader in providing life saving neonatal ventilator equipment to hospitals across the country.

Consumers have completed less holiday shopping this season
- 2:18 pm Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 by Allison Ross
Procrastinating on your holiday shopping? You're not alone this year.
According to a study done by the National Retail Federation, the average consumer had completed 47.1 percent of their shopping by the second week in December, down about 10 percent from the 52.6 percent they had finished last year.
Only 8 percent say they have completely finished shopping. Meanwhile, 41.2 million people say they have not even yet begun their shopping, up from 35.2 million in 2007. (The biggest procrastinators being — surprise, surprise — men, and, interestingly enough, 35-44-year-olds.)
Laziness is not the only culprit for this year's increased procrastination. For [More]

Goodwood FoS 2012
Bentley Models take Goodwood Festival of Speed by Storm
Bentley at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2012.
As sponsors of the world-famous event, Bentley had its largest ever presence, featuring a range of Bentley models past and present, at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2012, which ran from Friday 29th June to Sunday 1st July 2012.
The 'Home of Bentley' at Goodwood featured a range of Bentley models as well as a vision of the company's future - the EXP 9 F SUV concept. Joining the EXP 9 F on display was the Mulsanne Mulliner Driving Specification (MDS) and the new Continental GT V8 and the New Continental GT Speed - both of which also went 'up the Hill'.
Joining the modern Bentley models on the Hill were two cars from the Company's Le Mans heritage. The Bentley Speed 8 that was victorious at the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hours made two runs per day, as did the 41/2-litre supercharged "Team Car" that was raced extensively by renowned Le Mans winner and Bentley Boy Tim Birkin in the 1920s. Fresh from completing the Mille Miglia for the third time, the Team Car was driven at Goodwood by Bentley's Chairman and Chief Executive, Wolfgang Dürheimer.
Driving duties for the Bentley models fell to three modern-day Bentley Boys: Le Mans legend Derek Bell MBE, four-time world rally champion Juha Kankkunen and Guy Smith, who drove the winning Speed 8 across the finish line at Le Mans in 2003.
Images from this iconic event and Bentley's impressive presence can be browsed in our gallery above.

It's been an up and down season for the Lewis Cass softball team.
But the Kings were in postseason form in the opening game of the Class 2A Cass Sectional. They opened the defense of their sectional crown with a 4-2 win over Northfield.
The Kings (14-12) face Southwood (6-12) at 5 p.m. Wednesday in a semifinal game. Northfield finishes 15-9.
Cass senior Charlie Nolen pitched seven solid innings to pick up the win. The hard-throwing right-hander fanned nine and allowed just two runs (one earned) on seven hits and four walks.
Nolen's season has mirrored the Kings' in that it's been up and down. She's battled shoulder soreness at times this season but was feeling just fine on Monday.
"It was one of my better games," she said. "I've struggled a lot and I've been working really hard to get back to where I know I can be. I basically just thought positive because that's all you can do is just think about that. I just took all the negative thoughts out of my head and threw the game I knew how to throw."
Last season Nolen pitched the Kings to a sectional title, which included a 1-0 win over a previously undefeated North Miami team. But she had an injury to her right throwing shoulder that hampered her start to this season. She had some solid starts towards the end of the season and was in a groove on Monday.
"I started off with a bad shoulder. I wasn't pitching for three months so that really set me back a lot," she said.
The Kings also found their groove at the plate against Northfield senior right-hander Katelyn Shafer, who featured a good changeup. Shafer allowed four runs (two earned) on nine hits and three walks with four strikeouts.
Senior third baseman Brittany Cunningham went 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored to lead the Kings.
"I think the team did really well," Cunningham said. "[Shafer] definitely had a good changeup. We didn't let that affect us.
"We've struggled with getting ahead of teams and letting them come back, so that was a big thing, not letting them come back. Even with the bases loaded, everyone was up in the dugout and that helped a lot."
Nolen escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam with no damage in the top of the sixth inning when the Kings led 3-1. She got a pop-up back to herself and a strikeout for the first two outs and then fanned leadoff hitter Arie Kennedy for her ninth strikeout of the game to end the inning.
Northfield jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third when Caitlin Elzroth singled, stole second and third on very close plays and scored on an infield single by Abby Keaffaber that bounced off the glove of diving second baseman Jennifer Salsbery. Shortstop Cheyenne Dittmaier picked up the carom but her throw was just late at first with two outs in the inning.
The Kings bounced back with two runs in the bottom of the frame to take the look for good. Cunningham doubled to start the rally. Emilee McCoy moved her to third with one of her three successful sacrifice bunts of the game. Megan Carden followed with a deep fly to center that would have scored Cunningham anyway, but the ball was dropped for a two-base error. Courtesy runner Meghan Hall later scored on a throwing error on an infield single by Dittmaier.
The Kings added a run in the fourth after Kassi Zeck singled, advanced to second on a sac bunt by Ashton McClain and scored on another double by Cunningham. They scored another in the sixth to take a 4-1 lead after Cunningham singled, moved to second on a sac bunt by McCoy and to third on an infield single by Carden before scoring on a passed ball on what appeared to be a cross-up on pitches with runners on second and third.
The Norsemen scored an unearned run in the seventh on a two-out RBI single by Emily Shafer and had the tying run on first when Nolen got a ground out to second to end the game.
"This was definitely one of our better performances," Cass coach Jennifer Scott said. "Charlie pitched a great game and offensively we were patient at the plate and we were looking for the pitches that we could hit the best. We did a good job of adjusting to the changeup she was throwing. Defensively we played a pretty good game. We've kind of been up and down, we've not been able to put all three pieces together, and I think tonight we did a fairly good job of putting those pieces together."
Alexa Humerickhouse went 2-for-2 for the Kings.
Keaffaber went 3-for-4 to lead the Norse. Elzroth scored both of their runs. Kennedy and Callie Monce each added a base hit.
In today's action at the Cass Sectional, Manchester faces Wabash at 5 p.m. followed by Oak Hill vs. No. 5-ranked North Miami. The winners will square off following the Cass-Southwood game on Wednesday. The title game is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Should your taste in real estate lean more toward the "extraordinary" than the "ordinary," this striking Mediterranean-style villa in Manchester-by-the-Sea may be just what you've been hankering for. Built as a wedding present in the early 1900s, the house boasts a remarkable interior that masterfully blends Moroccan, European and Grecian elements not often seen in this part of the world, according to listing agent Alice Miller of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
"This is an extremely unique property that has been compared to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a gorgeous building designed to emulate a 15th-century Venetian palace," says Miller. "The estate was kept in the Stockton family for over 70 years, and now, it is ready for the personal touches of a new, discriminating buyer."
Setting the tone for what lies beyond, the grand foyer with travertine and marble flooring is simply awe-inspiring. Featuring a two-story atrium lined with arches and a trellised gallery, the architecture literally brings the "outside in." Flanked by semi-circular archways, this arresting space looks more like a ballroom than a simple entryway.
Equally commanding is the library/living room complete with rich walnut paneling, walls of custom shelving, a wood-burning fireplace, sunny Palladian windows and original old-growth fir flooring. Formal dinners are sure to be enjoyed in the truly elegant dining room highlighted by ornate moldings and trims, a fireplace, built-in settees and French doors to a bluestone patio. Thoughtfully adjacent is the spacious eat-in kitchen and a sunny morning room overlooking private grounds.
Looking down upon the aforementioned foyer and resembling a gallery of sorts, six bedrooms on the second floor will undoubtedly accommodate guests or the larger family. Each with its own fireplace and hardwood flooring, the master also features a large walk-in closet, separate sitting area, en suite bath and a charming Juliette balcony from which to take in the beautiful views below.

Just under 1200 runners participated in the first Richmond marathon. Few that were a part of that first race thought the event would live for another three and a half decades. Fewer still, thought they'd still be running in it 35 years later.
In fact there are just six men, called the "Old Lions", who have run in every single one of the Richmond marathons - and they're all set to participate in Saturday's race.
Bill Smith, 65, of Richmond; John Deeter, 70, of Glen Allen; John Loughran, 68, of Sandston; Garland Carlton, 72, of Richmond; Phil Gibrall, 63, of Richmond; and Wertenbaker Turner, 66, of Charlottesville, are the lone runners who are keeping the streak alive.
And for many of them, that's the only reason why they're running.
"No one wants to break the streak," says Loughran.
"You want to be the last man standing," adds Gibrall.
"It's more of a curse," laments Smith.
The men don't train with each other, but over the years they have gotten to known each other well. And there's a heavy mutual respect amongst the group - because they know what the others have had to go through.
While some of them were great runners in their younger days - a few of them can boast having recorded sub-3 hour marathons - now many just race to finish.
"We are allotted 7 hours, and most of us use most of the 7 hours," says Loughran.
The last Old Lion to drop out, did so after the 2003 race. Which means this will be the ninth race that this group has been the last six standing.
They all talk about how hard it is to train for this event now - "My family wishes I would've quit years ago," says the 72 year old Carlton.
But none of them are ready to quit anytime soon - they've put too much work into being a part of this ultra-exclusive club.

Pat: "One of the most oft-quoted myths about marriage must be, 'They lived happily ever after.' Does anybody really believe that? Even in the best of marriages, questions arise, problems occur, and conflicts happen."
Source: Pat Robertson. Bring It On. 2008. pg. 3.
Pat: "As much as possible, my wife and I make our major decisions together. But occasionally, something will come up that we can't agree on, or possibly a matter demands an immediate decision. In those cases, I will make those decisions and take the responsibility before God for them."
Source: Pat Robertson. Bring It On. 2008. pg. 5.
Pat: "I had an overbearing mother-in-law (who is obviously no longer with us!) with whom I found myself embroiled in numerous arguments early in Dede's and my marriage. She'd often say things that I considered outrageous. At first I made the mistake of arguing with her ... My mother-in-law continued to make her presence known, but it was absolutely amazing what a peace and calm came about in our home, as I learned to hold my tongue."
Source: Pat Robertson. Bring It On. 2008. pg. 52.
Pat: "I frankly would advise any man or woman with wealth in excess of $500,000 who is planning to marry a younger person to have a simple prenuptial agreement spelling out clearly the financial understanding between them. There is nothing unromantic in protecting either inherited or hard-earned wealth from the emotional vagaries of a marriage ... It can seem cold and calculating, but for those who have a large estate, or when children are involved, a prenuptial agreement makes sense."
David John Marley: "During his seminary training Robertson's commitment to his faith deepened, and this only led to more tension with his wife."

Kiefer Sutherland Talks THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST, Status of the 24 Movie, and Paul W.S. Anderson's POMPEII
by Heather Newgen Posted 1 year, 129 days ago
The Reluctant Fundamentalist is director Mira Nair's latest meditation of her distinctive subject matter: the exploration of East-West interactions and relations. The movie is based on Mohsin Hamid's book of the same title and follows the story of Changez (Riz Ahmed), a young Pakistani Columbia grad pursuing his professional goals in the corporate scene of New York and living the American dream until terrorism strikes the United States on 9/11 and he is turned into the enemy. Kiefer Sutherland stars as Jim Cross — the managing director of a high-end boutique Wall Street hedge fund company who hires Changez and becomes somewhat of a father figure to him. However, their relationship dissolves when a cultural divide forces Changez to choose between two vastly different worlds.
In this exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Kiefer Sutherland talked about the complexity of his character and why he wanted to do the film. He also gave an update on the status of the 24 movie and the Paul W.S. Anderson historical thriller Pompeii, in which he plays the villain. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

I've got a button tin, a nice red one with a plaid pattern that matches my own mother's button tin. When she first gave it to me I filled it with buttons snipped from worn-out clothes and buttons I'd bought at fabric stores. Once I brought home a big bag of assorted buttons from Value Village, and that filled the tin right up.
We regularly dip into the button tin, because there are so many lovely things to do with buttons. Sometimes I open it up and just stir my fingers through it like I did as a child. The girls like to sift and sort through the buttons, making piles of their favourites. They also enjoy stringing buttons together to make a gift, like Laura and Mary did when they lived in their little house on the prairie. Some of the very nicest buttons hang on a pipe cleaner loop, proudly displayed in our kitchen – a gift to Tom and I from the girls on our 11th wedding anniversary.
However, there are some buttons in the tin that I like to look at but never want to use. I always pass over the black ones that have obviously been snipped off a Canadian Naval uniform, and the little gold ones with the same Navy insignia on them. Who wore those buttons on his uniform? Whose fingers pushed them through buttonholes? There's a matching pin too. I'd never wear it on my own coat, but at the same time I don't feel right throwing it away either.
Seeing these particular buttons and pins as personal is illogical, I know. All the other thrift shop buttons were probably used on someone's clothing just as much as the sailor's buttons, and I have no qualms about using the ordinary buttons for my own clothes or projects. It is the weight of the symbols and the untold story that makes the sailor's buttons special. I imagine his wife snipping those same buttons off a coat when he returned home and placing them in her button tin. When she died, I suppose the people going through her things sent all the buttons off to the thrift store, and now, somehow, they're mine.
I wonder if it would be different if those buttons came from my grandfather's uniform? Would I sew them onto a coat of my own and proudly tell his story every time someone commented on the buttons? Maybe.
Those black buttons with the crown, anchor and rope imprinted on them will continue to float around the button tin awhile longer. I'm coming to accept that some buttons in the button tin will never be used. They serve a purpose simply being there, reminding me every time I pick through them that every one of these tiny objects carry their own life story, just like everything else in the world. Our objects interact with people from their creation until they biodegrade, and in most cases that is a tremendously long time.

She took off her dress and I took a peek
While thunderstorm played hide `n` seek
I begged 4 a kiss, she gave me 7
Our lips touched and it feel like heaven
Everything I want is what she does 2 me
She don`t blush cuz she`s so damn free
When she makin` love, it`s like surgery
And she say - "Ooh, I love U in me"
"I love..."
I promise myself not 2 come until she does
Then she took both hands and a liar I was
No man in this world could ever hope 2 last
When my baby downshifts and starts pumpin` fast
"I love U, I love U in me"
Our bodies sink in a pool of sweat
It`s the kinda love that U never forget (Yeah)
With U honey, I`m the richest in the world (So rich)
I don`t need money cuz U`re my girl
"I love U in me"
Everything I want is what U do 2 me
(Everything I want is what she does 2 me)
U don`t blush cuz U`re so damn free
(She don`t blush cuz she`s so damn free)
So free, yeah!
When U`re makin` love, it`s like surgery
And U say - "Ooh, I love U in me"
"I love U"
Yeah, yeah

At long last, we've made it here. The Grizzlies got past the Clippers 4-2, steamrolled the Thunder sans Russell Westbrook 4-1, and now they're starting the Western Conference Finals this afternoon in San Antonio against a Spurs squad that surely would love some revenge for 2011, when the eighth-seeded Grizzlies knocked off the banged-up but top seeded Spurs.
The storyline here is whether the Grizzlies' ridiculous team defense can overcome the Spurs' offense, and whether Lionel Hollins can adjust to the machinations of Darth Popovich. And whether the Grizzlies can (gulp) make the NBA Finals for the first time ever.
Let's talk it out!

Annie wanted themed trashy food for her party, I once again consulted friends, brainstormed ideas and came up with a sort of plan.
Drinks – I had green and orange cordial from Cottee's and water, along with green & orange cups and matching straws in teeny tiny wheelie bins.
The first round of food that went out:
1. Individual fruit salad in orange and green (Trash Pack) colours (rockmelon, honeydew melon, green grapes and pineapple) in green bowls with teeny tiny forks.
2. Honey Joys
3. Funky large milk bottle filled with lollies and a bowl of freckles – both left over from filling the trashy treasure hunt bags.
4. Individual bags of popcorn – I filled each popcorn bag with 1 cup of coloured popcorn.
Second round was hot food, one of my friends picked up $20 worth of hot chips for me, we simply put them out on the table in the takeaway box. Another friend gave me a bunch of cardboard hot chip cups and the children were able to fill their cups using some super cute teeny tiny orange tongs I found.
I also cooked up 2.5kg of cocktail franks in the dreampot, the stinky squids were too much prep, so I opted for some pirate flags that I tried to convince everyone were a toxic substance warning.
Third there was muddy slime jelly cups (and plain green and orange jelly shots for those kids who do not like food touching), all served with super cute teeny tiny spoons.
The mud at the bottom is Cottee's Instant Chocolate pudding, made using slightly less milk so it is a little firmer, topped with some gummy worms.
Finally the crowning glory, the birthday cake, made by a very talented mum at our school.
Drum roll please, presenting one very Trashie Trash Pack Cake….
It was a delicious chocolate cake inside with sour cherry filling – two layers of cake separated by a cake board for easy cutting
The lovely Cake Maker even provided 12 dairy free (nut free, natural food colouring) cupcakes for Heidi and other kids with allergies.
Mmmmm I'm hungry now looking at all those pictures

I understand where it's coming from, but it's misguided. We're hating on them because we're mad that they play an easy schedule and will very likely get a BCS bowl over us if they win out (note: Houston/Tulsa game still in progress).
While I understand everybody's frustration, we have to realize a few things.
1. Not so long ago, Boise DID play a soft schedule like Houston's this year. We wanted respect. Everybody said, "Play somebody." We wanted everybody to respect and recognize the talent of our QB. Everybody said, "His stats are good but he doesn't play anybody."
And now I see the same arguments coming from us Boise fans. Houston doesn't play anybody. Their schedule is soft. Keenum is overrated. Double standard among Bronco fans?
2. It's not Houston that is to blame for their schedule. They play who they can and have won. Period. This should sound very familiar to us, so I can't understand when we became such elitists that we can't give credit to a team and a quarterback that are in the same position as us a few short years ago and are, to an extent, still in.
You have to give credit where credit is due. Keenum is a good quarterback. Period. Houston is winning games. Period.
We as Boise State fans can't have it both ways. If we're going to advocate for our team's legitimacy, we can't turn around and call other teams and players overrated for doing exactly what we did. We sound more like the BCS apologists and "big boy" school elitist haters than Boise State fans when it comes to Houston.
We should be the very ones praising Keenum and Houston, not making the same lame-duck arguments against them that were (and still are) made against us. To go undefeated in any conference in division 1A is a feat to be lauded. How many teams, no matter how "easy" or "soft" their schedule can go undefeated or even have one loss in any given year? Very few.
I'm rooting against them in the Tulsa game, but that's only for our own ends (boost our SoS with a Tulsa win and a simple path to a BCS bowl). IF Houston wins, I'll be rooting for them the rest of the way. I think they can beat a lot of those top 10 teams and would love to see them do so.
I hope we as a fanbase can recognize the respect they deserve if we're to demand the same respect. Double standards just don't work for me.

Bill Nye and Ken Ham debating on creationism
While I think creationism is bonkers and the debate itself wasn't that great (talking past each other), I think this debate is good mental exercise. How would you argue the anti-creationist case?
It forces us to clarify and formalize how we come about inference and how we reason. We ought to be able to explain where creationism is commiting reasoning mistakes.

I'm wondering everyone's opinion about the various position battles on the team. I don't know that I can remember a time in recent memory where there were so many battles. I don't know if this is a good thing bc of depth....or that we just don't have premier, unquestioned talent at many positions. I suppose it's a little bit of both.
Lets start with the hot topic of the summer: offensive line.
obviously, Jeff will be at C. And it looks like Castonzo at LT.
what about LG, RG, and RT?
I'm thinking its gonna be either Ijalana or Diem at RT
then Either Ijalana or Devan at RG
and finally Charlie at LG
I realize I don't have Linkenbach or Pollack on this list...i just don't see either starting. But...to each his own.
Next we have the Linebackers.
I'm gonna go ahead and lock Bracket in @ MLB
But on the outside, it could pretty much be any combo of Sessions, Angerer(my selections), Conner, or Wheeler. Hagler?
Moving on to the Secondary.
At saftey we have Bethea locked in and I believe Bullitt. Some believe he won't be back, but I do. Who else do we even have? Francisco?? Silva??
At Corner, we have some very unusual depth due to multiple injuries. I believe it will be Powers and Hayden with Tryon bringing in the nickle duties. I don't know that polian will let tryon take haydens spot due to that massive contract he gave him. Also remember two years ago when jacob lacey came in as a nobody and played phenomenal? I like our depth at corner.
And finally, Defensive Tackle.
The biggest problem with this one is that we don't know who is going to be there.
Moala, Johnson, Muir, Nevis, Foster, Anyone else? Matthews? I'm thinking with the lockout we will start out Moala and Muir because Nevis is going to be on a curve. He may eventually replace Muir....but who knows. Johnson may step up as well. Time will tell.
Well that's what I think. Like I said, at this point, I can't think of a time, at least in the last 5 years, where we have had so many questions as to who is going to start. Let me know what you think. Call me out if I left someone out of importance or said something that doesn't make sense.

What to do? Even if you think it's funny or a hip turn of phrase, don't forget that "That's so gay" is hurtful. Just because it doesn't have the same bite as "fag" or "dyke" doesn't mean it's not harmful or hateful. It is. We need to stop using the word "gay" to mean dumb, stupid and worthless and to think before we speak (or post on Facebook). As Shannon Gilreath, a law professor at Wake Forest, explained to me last year, "Physical violence begins with bullying, name-calling and homophobic remarks. When nothing happens to someone [for making slurs], it escalates to violence." So, as teens say today: Don't go there.

I herd that the i phone is going to be a portable gaming system, do u think that it will have a chance against th Ds or psp?
Eh..I can see it having some more in depth games on it then the mini games you can already buy off of the stores but it becoming an actual platform? Doubtful. It's possible but in the comparison to gaming platforms such as The Nintendo DS or the Sony PSP, I doubt a possible iPhone gaming platform would cause many problems.
On another note, the DS already has a touch screen. The iPhone is way too overpriced to be only bought for gaming, so for those who already have it and are planning to buy it for its main features will really be the only ones playing it.

Morning, everyone! Claire here, with a great little project to add interest and storage to any space. Remember two weeks ago when I asked for your opinion on which side table you liked the best? You all had so many wonderful suggestions, but in the end, the votes leaned in favor of design #1. I'm so excited to share the final product… read more

We simply could not be more excited to show off the unbelievable florals from Kendra Scott's big night. The team at Merveille Flowers pulled out all the stops on this one, and the result is a breathtaking collection of oh-so-sweet centerpieces to perfectly offset the bejeweled theme.

You would think that this idiot would realize that at a time like now with all the Korean media attention on GI crime that any little thing committed by anyone associated with USFK will make national headlines:
PYEONGTAEK, South Korea, March 9 (Yonhap) — A U.S. Army mechanic working in South Korea was caught by police for threatening a South Korean citizen with a knife during a road dispute, officers here said Saturday.
A 48-year-old aircraft maintenance crew member from the 8th U.S. Army, identified only by the initial J, allegedly threatened a 42-year-old South Korean citizen, known as Choi, with a knife the previous day while having an argument over a near accident involving their cars on a street in Pyeongtaek, some 70 kilometers south of Seoul.
He has been handed over to the U.S. military police to face investigation, according to the Pyeongtaek Police Station.
The U.S. employee is also suspected of scratching Choi's car twice with the knife when Choi was trying to escape from the threat, it added.
Unable to retreat, Choi threatened J with a rock he had picked up and lied, saying he was a police officer, the station said. Upon hearing this, J fled but was soon caught by actual police officers.
The man, known as a Korean-American, was not intoxicated at the time, and admitted his wrongdoings upon his arrest, according to the investigators. [Yonhap]
Maybe this idiot was thinking that since I am a Korean-American contractor no one will realize that I am associated with USFK and thus can act the fool? The Marmot's Hole has more on this story to include the contractor saying that Choi nearly killed him by running a red light and when he confronted Choi through his passenger window he moved his car causing him to fall. When he fell he says Choi came at him with rock thus he went back to his car to get his fishing knife. The Marmot's Hole has a link to a Donga TV video where it is hard to make out who is at fault in this incident.
Even if this is all true the contractor will get the most of the blame and it is not because he is USFK. In Korea if you pull out a knife on someone it is like pulling a gun on someone in the US. It is a big escalation of the situation. Just ask the Private John Humphrey what happens if you pull out a knife even if you are being assaulted, choked, and beaten by a mob.

There has been a disturbing pattern emerging the longer I work a creative job, one I'm especially beginning to appreciate now that I'm in my second week of physical therapy for 'repetitive shoulder stress' and an 'unstable shoulder joint'. This occurrence after a year of ignoring shoulder aches and soreness was quite the wake up call for me. The ability to use my arm is my livelihood and being incapacitated in any major fashion could be disastrous! Luckily, my issue is only a moderate one which physical therapy is helping, but there is a bigger picture at work here.
Thinking back on things, I have gained about 15 pounds since I started working long hours at the computer and art desk. I've had stretches of mental and physical fatigue caused by overworking, tight deadlines, and just being downright lonely. Sometimes I'm so passionate and excited about my job, I just keep working and working without taking any breaks. Other times, I just can't get motivated. There is no inspiration, and worse, I start to lose hope that this job is not worth the mental and physical pain it causes me.
I can't help but feel much of the downturn in my overall health has come from a decrease in physical activity and social interaction. I feel loads better this year now that I have made a concerted effort to change a few bad habits. These are some of the things I've done that have helped to improve my health lately:
- Taking regular breaks. It's so incredibly easy to just keep working and working in a job that you are so passionate about! I learned the hard way if you don't get up at least once an hour from the computer or art desk, you're really doing damage to your neck, back, and shoulders. Nowadays, I have to get up or damage my joint more. I take a moment each hour to go and talk to whoever might be home, take a small walk around the yard, or to do a few Yoga stretches. I find the Tree, the Warrior, and the Cobra poses to be particularly helpful for my sore back and neck pains (and are pretty easy to do).
- Taking regular walks. I don't have a lot of time to run to the gym, so mainly I just take 30 minutes out of the morning and evening to go on walks. There's a gorgeous country road right near our house which I can walk on for this amount of time and never hit the end. A plus side is the healthy population of hawks, squirrels, blue birds, owls, and wildlife that dart around me while I walk. It's soothing for me to get away from the technology and meditate while I walk to the sound of nature.
- Visiting a gallery and being social. Internet friends keep me sane, but getting out of the house once a week to visit the local gallery helps me to meet other real living, breathing people who I can talk to, who are generally just as interested in art as I am. After long hours working alone, it sometimes feels like my life is passing me by while I'm toiling away trying to make a living at an unappreciated, underpaid job. A coating of stoic disapproval starts to settle on me and I have to shake it off by getting OUT, or risk getting really demotivated for my work. I've started attending local art organization meetings recently as well, which has been great for meeting other artists trying to make a business out of their artistic identity (we are not alone in our insanity!).
It's also been nice gathering a group of friends on Skype once a month for a 'drink and draw' event. There's just something nice about being able to listen to people I don't see often and draw random stuff. Using Skype also leaves your hands free so you can talk instead of type to chat! Great for actually getting art done at the same time. This has been especially nice when I can't afford to go to the local drink and draw because it takes gas and parking fees and, you know, finding a way to drive back later once I've sobered up. Drinking in the comfort of one's own home is (theoretically) safer.
- Working in a studio vs. working at home. Today was the first day of working at a small rental studio instead of at our house and I can already feel the productivity juices flowing! (Pics and video to come soon!) The space is a modest $200 a month ($100 since I'm sharing with my mom). Being there instead of at home has allowed me to focus solely on creative thought and the projects I have to work on, whereas at home, I am always compelled to clean the house (considering my workspace is my bedroom and office AND studio, it's very easy to fall into chaos). I also get distracted by what other family members are doing, or am around negative influences that don't provide the encouraging and positive attitude I need to maintain my level of productivity.
Another perk of the studio is that I can talk to the other artists there and not feel like a hermit. I can also talk to any customers that wander in and peddle my wares directly, which helps to put a face on my work, and theoretically encourages them to buy. I plan to add classes at the gallery to my repertoire of skills and activities as well, which will give me valuable practice at conveying ideas to others.
So I hope that this has been helpful to anyone who might be reading this and has found that the work-at-home freelancing artist is not near as glamorous as you expected it to be. Good luck to you, and remember to take regular breaks! I wonder what kind of health issues related to your creative work you all have dealt with and how you have dealt with them? Please share in comments!

Ace Frehley is in the New York groove.
The original KISS guitarist's new book, "No Regrets: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir," has just debuted at #10 on the New York Times "Hardcover Nonfiction" best sellers list – check it out here.
The book was published November 1, and Ace has been doing book-signing events around the country – and lots of media interviews – to help promote it.
Ace was recently on NBC's Today Show to talk with host Matt Lauer about the project; part of their conversation centered around Ace's past drug use, including cocaine, for which he had a code name.
"We called it Betty White," said Frehley. "If I was going to a party, I'd call up my buddy and say 'Is Betty going to be there?' And if he said 'she said yes,' then we'd know it would be there."
Co-written by New York Times journalist Joe Layden, the book is billed as "a funny, truthful, candid memoir about a hard-drinking, drug-addicted, music-loving guitar player who lived life as a rock star and survived to tell the tale."
Check out a free preview of Chapter 1 here.

ROGERSVILLE (WATE) - TVA is showing off its newest power plant.
It's called a combined-cycle gas plant that uses natural gas to make electricity. The plant makes enough to power around 500,000 homes.
The John Sevier Combined Cycle Gas Plant was dedicated on Thursday.
The new plant is located next to the John Sevier Fossil Plant on the Holston River in Rogersville. Thursday's dedication gave officials a first chance to see TVA's new natural gas powered plant.
After two years of construction the plant began operation in April 2012, ahead of schedule and about $30 million under budget.
"I'm just amazed. I was here when it was a level piece of land. In two years, they built this plant. It's up, it's operational, it's producing power," said U.S. Representative Phil Roe.
The opening of the gas cycle plant is an important step for TVA to provide clean and reliable energy throughout East Tennessee.
TVA said the gas plant will produce a cleaner and more cost-effective source of power for the region.
"This is a critical facility for us and has done a great job to ensure it has a robust and reliable power supply to serve the region," said Bob Dalrymbye, Vice President of Gas Operations for TVA.
The plant replaces two of the four units at the nearby John Sevier Fossil Fuel Plant. It also helps to meet more stringent EPA air quality standards.
"One of things they're looking at is nitrous oxide, sulfurous oxide and CO2 and mercury, and there are no mercury emissions from a gas-fire plant," said Roe.
In combined-cycle operation, residual heat from the gas turbine exhaust is captured to produce steam that generates additional electricity from a steam turbine.
The ability to run in either combined-cycle or simple-cycle mode provides voltage stability and reliability to the northeast region of the TVA system.
The John Sevier Cycle Plant is TVA's fifth owned or leased combined-cycle natural gas fired plant and the second of TVA's combined plants in Tennessee.
TVA is also working on the second reactor at the Watts Bar Plant where construction is slated to finish late 2015.

Objectives and Goals
Students will be able to describe the levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and explain its implications for learners.
Activities in this Lesson
- Quick Write Hooks / Set
Ask students to recall a class in which they felt the teacher genuinely cared about the students and did a good job of creating a positive environment. Have them brainstorm and write a response to the following questions (write on overhead, chart paper, or whiteboard):
- What do you remember about the physical environment? (i.e. room arrangement, wall decorations, etc.)
- What was the teacher's attitude toward the students and how was it conveyed?
- To what extent did the students know each other and work together? What role did the teacher have in building those relationships?
After 5-10 minutes of individual writing time, have several students volunteer to share their responses aloud.
Then, have students recall a class in which they felt uncomfortable or threatened, or a classroom in which the teacher did not have a positive relationship with the students (NOTE: ask students to refrain from using teachers' names in this portion of the discussion).
Finally, ask students how these different teaching styles / learning environments affected students' and their ability / willingness to learn in that class?
Accept several students' responses prior to moving on to the lecture portion of the lesson.
- Maslow's Hierarchy Lecture
Begin by explaining to students that the previous quick-write (i.e. the hook / anticipatory set) is directly related to one psychologist's theory of development -- tell students to keep the preceding quick-write in mind as they take notes.
Then explain that one of the pioneers of humanistic psychology was a man by the name of Abraham Maslow. He believed that all human needs could be categorized into a "hierarchy,"--a ranking of items in order of importance.
Ask students: which need(s) do you think is the most important to human survival and development?
Accept several responses before displaying Maslow's Hierarchy (attached resource) on an overhead projector, document reader, or simply writing it out on the white board.
Once displayed, have students take notes by drawing the hierarchy and then writing the description of each level as you explain them.
NOTE: During the lecture, it is important to emphasize that if ones' needs on the "lower levels" (i.e. physiological/safety/security) go unfulfilled, the person might be unable to fulfill her needs at a higher level (i.e. self-esteem / self-actualization).
Resources and Materials
- Maslows Hierarchy [ Download ] Maslow's Hierarchy
- Classroom Hierarchy of Needs Guided Practice
Now, ask students to think back to the quick-write at the beginning of class.
Ask students: How does Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs relate to students' ability / willingness to learn in a particular classroom environment?
Accept several answers.
Distribute the attached Understanding Students' Hierarchy of Needs sheet.
As a class, start from the bottom of the worksheets and brainstorm ways that teachers, schools, and fellow students can help meet all students' needs at every level of the hierarchy (for example: for the physiological level, students might write: keeping the school / classroom at a comfortable temperature, providing adequate light to see the text, etc. For the self-actualization level, students might write: teachers acknowledge students' personal interests/ hobbies and/or help to foster interest in causes that are meaningful to students).

Report: Sanchez staying with Tigers
(Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers have reportedly reached an agreement on a deal with free-agent pitcher Anibal Sanchez.
ESPN.com, citing Sanchez's agent, Gene Mato, reported Friday that the Tigers re-signed his client to a five-year, $80 million contract.
The Tigers apparently won a bidding war with the Chicago Cubs to retain the right-hander's services.
Sanchez arrived in Detroit with second baseman Omar Infante in a July 23 trade with the Miami Marlins. He went 4-6 with a 3.74 earned run average in 12 regular-season starts for the Tigers, then compiled a 1.77 ERA while going 1-2 in three playoff outings.
For his career, the 28-year-old has posted a 48-51 record with a 3.75 ERA since reaching the majors with the Marlins in 2006.
