Gamers can already broadcast live images from PCs and videogame consoles. Soon, they'll be able to broadcast from mobile devices as well.
Videogame broadcasting service Twitch said it will integrate its service into mobile-app developer Gameloft's racing title, "Asphalt 8: Airborne." The service, which will be integrated through a downloadable update for the title on Apple's mobile devices, will allow players to broadcast live gameplay visuals to the Internet, much as they can do from other gaming devices already. Players can also stream images of their face and voice using the front-facing camera and microphone, Twitch said in a statement. Read More »

Some users of Sony's new PlayStation 4 have been creating video content that is not exactly what the manufacturer intended. Now at least one Web partner is cracking down on the practice.
Twitch, the popular San Francisco site where players can watch one another play videogames, says it has removed content created with Sony's new "Playroom" game and removing it from the the list of titles customers can watch. Read More »
Live video gaming platform Twitch has been on a growth tear this past year and has raised $20 million from investors to rip it up some more.
Unlike competitors Ustream, LiveStream, YouTube and others enabling individuals and companies to broadcast video to the masses, Twitch is focused on just one category: gaming. The company provides an online platform and community for gamers that features live streaming gaming events, personal streams of individual players in action, and talk shows dedicated to gaming.
Individual players who bring in large audiences to watch them play get a portion of revenue generated from advertisements on their stream. The company says some gamers are earning six-figure salaries by gaming full time on the Twitch platform, and it expects the number of gamers to grow when Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 consoles launch this fall and gamers can broadcast and view Twitch content with a single button.

Black Diamond Gizmo
Very light weight and affordable. If you like the K.I.S.S. method (keep it simple stupid), this is a great pick for a headlamp This time of year it seems essential to have a headlamp to run after work. It's dark at 430 and that's when I get out there. The other night I was on my jog and felt something bounce off my head, after looking around there was nothing to be seen. Then again it happened... Suddenly I notice it's pitch black and I'm not really sure where my feet are landing. Apparantly my… Full review
Deuter Pace 36
The Pace 36 is a weight-shaving daypack with a very light frame and wide mesh hip belt. I applaud Deuter for figuring out how to make a bag this light that is also quite comfortable. The pockets and features are things people can actually use; I would take this along as a winter day/summit bag. The Pace 36 can carry a surprising amount of weight comfortably, but it would not be my choice for consistently carrying more than 30 pounds on a regular basis. The simplicity that helps make this so easy… Full review
Marmot Nusku 2P
This Nusku 2 has become my most used tent. It packs small enough for use on a motorcycle or tobaggan and can be relied on in any weather. I was looking for a freestanding four season tent that had a smaller pitch than my Andromeda 2. I settled on the Marmot Nusku 2 based on previous experience with Marmot equipment and the design specs for the tent. I have used the tent in spring, summer, fall and winter and have found it to be a faithful addition to my equipment choices. It pitches quickly and… Full review
Friendly Swede Paracord Bracelet
Officially called "The Friendly Swede Adjustable Premium Paracord Bracelet with Fire Starter and Sharp Eye Knife," this paracord bracelet includes a useful emergency fire steel and a cutting implement that doubles as a fire steel striker in addition to about 17 ft/5.18 m of paracord. Quality components make this a good survival-style bracelet for anyone who doesn't mind the bulk of this hefty bracelet—campers, hunters, or anyone who wishes to be prepared for the unexpected. What It Is Paracord… Full review
SOL Escape Bivvy
A mylar blanket does a better job of reflecting heat. I've tested this bivy in temps from the 40s down into the teens. Every time I ended up colder than when I didn't use it at all. Instead of reflecting heat back to me, the Escape Bivvy seemed to conduct heat away from my body like a heat sink. I contacted customer service and their idea was that the bivy was compressing the insulation in my mummy bag. That sounded like a good theory since it doesn't offer much room with a sleeping bag inside. Full review
Kelty Men's SB 20
Testing the SB20 down to 13 degrees. After an exhaustive search for a shoulder season bag, I stumbled across the SB20 on sale and couldn't pass it up. I had looked at the Montbell bags, which were heavier and not as warm. The Western Mountaineering Alpinlite was 2 oz lighter, but was more than double the price at $540. Not a good price per ounce saved in my opinion. I knew that Kelty made bombproof backpacks, but I've never considered one of their bags, because they've always been too heavy. Full review
Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 2
All right. I bought this tent as a space saver for motorcycle camping. It saved space and was very light. However, I did not know that the ceiling height was so low at 38". I have to kick my legs into the vestibule to take my pants off and put my shirt on and vice versa. It would be a great tent for someone who doesn't mind the limited maneuverability. Overall, for what it was designed it does a very good job. No way of fitting two people in there. Full review

In My Life Lyrics - Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews
Review The Song (1)
there are places i remember
all my life though some have changed
some forever not for better
some have have gone
and some remain
all these places have thier moments
with lovers and friends i still can recall
some are dead and some are living
in my life ive loved them all
but of all these friends and lovers
there is noone compares with you
and these memories lose there meaning
when i think of love as something new
though i know ill never lose affection
for people and things that went before
and i know ill often stop and think about them
in my life i love you more
though i know ill never lose affection
for people and things that went before
i know ill often stop and think about them
in my life i love you more
in my life i love you more

almost better than the beatles | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/2007
I am a dedicated Dave Matthews Band fan and always enjoy their music. When i heard their remake of the Beatles "In My Life" I fell in love with it. It is the same exact thing except at a slower tempo and replaced some of th old out of style instruments. Not to mention Dave's voice was fit for the role.

I contacted the support and after a few days they came up with a new version that offers Seblod CCK support out of te box.
Great extension with even better support.
I can definitely recommend it.
I had an error on my page with one of the module settings.
Sent an Email to the developer. One hour later she released a bugfix update. Th error was gone.
I love this module and use it on many of my sites.
Many thanks to the developer!
Thank you for this positive review!
Always at your service!
And I'd like to seize the opportunity to say thank you to Maksim, who's just sent us a brandnew Russian translation!
I used it for replacing a link in a section list layout pointing to a category listing with a link pointing to another section listing.
E.g.: You have section A with categories I II III and section B with categories I II III, where conent of section B is really subordinate to content in section A.
Now you have a section listing for section A which shows the categories with links to their listings like:
category I
category II
category III
But actually you want to have the link to category AII point to a section listing for section B instead of pointing to a category AII listing.
Before I discovered ReReplacer it was not possible to do in Joomla! core (at least I wouldn't know how). Now I just replace the link to the category AII listing with a link to a section B listing. In the category AII description I have information about section B.
This is an easy way to accomplish unlimited nesting of sections within categories without having to use a CCK extension.
Saved me a lot of headaches. Thanks again!

Warner Bros has cancelled the Paris premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" and interviews with the cast following the tragic shooting at a screening of the film in Aurora, Colorado in which 12 people were killed and more than 50 injured.
The studio and filmmakers released a joint statement saying they are "deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."
Christopher Nolan, director of "The Dark Knight Rises" said in a statement on behalf of the cast and crew:
"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of 'The Dark Knight Rises', I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community.
I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime.
The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.
Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."
President Obama offered the following :
"Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado. Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded. As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come."
Aurora, a Denver suburb, is about 13 miles from Littleton, Colorado, which was the site of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.
Latest on the Auora shooting :
Our heartfelt condolences to everyone affected by this horrible, horrible tragedy.
May they rest in peace. And may Mr Holmes rot in hell.
No words at this time, just tears.
Life is too short.

May got on the November ballot after winning a spot in the primary as a write-in candidate. His presence as a Republican in the swing district that spans Tempe and Scottsdale posed a threat to two Democratic challengers.
The openly gay former lawmaker gained recent headlines for his brazen acknowledgement that he helped four "street people" get on the ballot as Green Party candidates.

Turkey ready to help Serbia and Bosnia, says Erdogan
Monday, May 19, 2014
ANKARA – Turkey is ready to offer every kind of help to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told Bosnian and Serbian leaders as Balkan countries face their worst floods in more than a century.
Sources close to the Turkish prime minister told Anadolu Agency on Monday that Erdogan called Bakir Izetbegovic, the Bosniak Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbian Prime Minister, Alexander Vucic, to offer assistance and his condolences for the loss of lives.
Balkan leaders thanked the Turkish prime minister for offer and also expressed their condolences for the 301 miners killed in the Soma coal mine disaster last week in western Turkey.
- Deadly floods
Turkey's Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency has already sent much-needed materials and equipment for use in search-and-rescue operations including a C-130 cargo aircraft and more than 100,000 sandbags, blankets and generators, the presidency said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Turkey's Cooperation and Coordination Agency and Turkish Red Crescent have also offered their help to the flood-hit countries.
The worst and deadliest floods in the Balkans since rainfall measurements began 120 years ago came after several months of rain fell in only a few days.
The death toll reported by Anadolu Agency teams in the region has risen to 35, while tens of thousands of people have been evacuated in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, which have called for international assistance.

Re: The hard question (20+ year old fans only please).
I'm 35. My first memory of wrestling is Hogan slamming Andre. Then Savage winning the tournament at WM IV. Followed by the MegaPowers angle. For some reason, I stopped watching between WM V and VIII but was back in the fold when I learned Bret Hart became the WWF World Champion. Then I found out about a small Indy promotion in my neck of the woods, and what do I see when I check it out for the first time? The Franchise throwing down the NWA belt and declaring himself the new ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World. I was there The Night The Line Was Crossed and was in the front row for Slamboree when Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan tore it up with the Nastys. The two greatest wrestling days of my life are Wrestlemania X and XVII. 17 in particular stands out as the peak of my wrestling viewing experience. TLC 2. Rock vs Austin. The gimmick battle royal!
For me, Benoit is easily the greatest ever in the ring, followed by some combination of Malenko and Guerrero. Michaels and Savage are the greatest all around talents ever. Rock and Jake The Snake are the best ever on the mic. Bryan is the current best in the world in the ring. Can't stand Ryback (at all) but I was actually rooting for him when it came down to him and Cena in the Rumble. That's how much Cena annoys me.
Look, I appreciate Cena. I work with elementary kids and have for years now. They all love Cena and it is through them that I "never forget" how kids view the product. My problem with Cena is that they don't use him right. He's a heel in the eyes of the older folks. Anyone who literally dumps a facsimile of human feces onto his opponent is a heel to me and it befuddles me that the audience is supposed to root for this character. But it's not just Cena. There are so many better combinations that can be thrown at us. Here's an example for WM 29 - Cena-Cesaro, Brock-Punk, HHH-Sandow, Rock-Bryan, Jericho-Ziggler, Ryback-Orton, and Shaemus/PTP-Shield. Just mix it up, please! I'm tired of Dolph-Kofi 2,456 and the idea of Rock-Cena II makes me want to vomit.
I'm not sure what keeps me watching, but I enjoy Cesaro, Bryan and Sandow. I also have a great feeling about Ambrose. I can say without any doubt whatsoever that I enjoy reading/talking about the various aspects of the business far more than I do watching the current product, that's for sure.

where'd that rooster go?
new design, not much to say.
what happened to that guy. he used to be in touch, but not anymore. nobody knows.
let's listen to calm, happy music.
I'm looking forward to wearing long sleeve shirts again.
the problem is, when I get bored at work, I like to study programming even though I'm fairly sure I'm a mediocre coder.
man, that music got real loud real fast.
love that goddamned ragged split ends hair. can't explain it.
stop eating the poison. it's everywhere and it will kill you.
this music is like glass. or a stream of water let loose from a hose.
the bassline provides consistent punctuation.
I've been trying to eat cleanly today. Let this be a reminder that I feel better when I eat better, cleaner food. No heartburn, no pressure, no taste of vomit at the back of the throat.
I have only drunk tea today, no coffee. To humanity's great surprise, although I have fought boredom this afternoon, my head has remained upright and I have not banged it against the desk.
I had a yogurt smoothie with the following this morning: blueberries, pecans, maple syrup (a small amount), chia seeds, whole milk yogurt and almond milk.
For lunch, I have leftover chicken over salad.
I also drank a large "multi-green" kombucha with spirulina, chlorella and blue green algae.
No junk food, no sugar, no cookies, etc.
I am trying to re-inform my body of what it means to feel full vs. overfull and therefore sick. So far, it is working well.
Monday isn't so bad when you've had a good weekend. Playing with your 3 year old making cars with Legos makes for a pretty good weekend.
I took him outside last night to show him the lightning before the storm. I held him in my arms and pointed out the miles-away lightning that lit up the massive storm clouds framed by the silhouettes of the trees. He held his ears even though there was no thunder.
Most of today has revolved around thinking and futzing. And pizza. Sketching would have been smarter.
I'm yet again at a point of being disgusted by my own body and eating habits. Things that I know I should not eat but have yet to be able to stop ingesting on a regular basis include: coffee, pizza, any convenient/chain-restaurant lunch options. My brain knows I should eat veggies and my hand reaches for chocolate.
A lot of experiences are mundane, especially within the confines of a 40 hour work week. I'm thinking that if a person wants to be happy, she needs to look for the wondrous things.
This can be simple enough. Look around at nature. There were two goldfinches snacking on a flower in our garden 6 feet from the front window over the weekend. They were a high-visibility yellow, the kind that people often refer to as "a color you don't see in nature".
Look around at the built world. Think about all the work that went into a simple public park, for example.
Watch the tea leaves scatter when you pour the water into the pot.
let's overthink this. let's do it real good.
I'm listening to Luna and trying to concentrate. Clearly not working.
I've been getting a lot of requests to just fill in the blanks with no discussion or thought. The equivalent of "just make some shit up and it will magically work".
I still giggle when I think about the words "they like to re-invent the wheel quite a bit".
My hands are craving physical work almost as much as you.
so much blue. and that hair again.
I found it, but it wasn't where I thought I had left it.
100 concrete steps down the cliff onto the rocky beach.
The business man has sandals in his office. They appeared to be quite worn. He would slip on some lightweight socks and brown penny loafers when he had a guest.

This is a deeply flavored, sweet and spicy sauce that is delicious drizzled over steaks or anything else that is rich and succulent like scalloped potatoes or mac and cheese. It smells so good while simmering and lasts a long time. A great go-to item to keep in the fridge. A staple at my restaurants.
This signature salad is served at Emeril's New Orleans and at Emeril's Orlando. It has been on the menu at Emeril's New Orleans since day one. Try it and you'll see why folks keep asking for it after all these years.
You can subsitute your favorite steak cut here. Filet Mignon, Ribeye, Strip, etc. would all be wonderful here, even if you can't find dry-aged. This is a TRUE steak house meal!
If you're looking for real steakhouse-quality creamed spinach, this is it. This recipe comes from Delmonico Steakhouse in Vegas, where it's a true crowd-pleaser.

Dachshund Painting, and other Animal Portraits
As I had mentioned in a previous post, I love to do portrait commissions.
I am currently working on this little painting of a Dachshund, done in a whimsical Folk art style, for an upcoming exhibition at my local art gallery. It is based on a wonderful dog my family owned called Simon, who loved to run outside and chase all sorts of creatures in his path. He was a very special pet, and this is my tribute to him.
I have done a few animal portraits in the past, and am always inspired to capture its spirit in a style that reflects its uniqueness. Here are some of them – and I do have a penchant for owls and cats! I do custom commissions for any kind of portrait, painting, tattoo design etc – please contact me if you are interested.
Watercolor portrait painting completed…
My portrait of Maggie is finished ! As described in my previous two posts, after sketching the initial outlines in pencil, I free-formed the rest of the composition, continuing to layer the watercolours, working around the dired pressed flowers, adding more detail to the peony fairy and the hair, more flowers, and brushstrokes reminiscent of those of Vincent Van Gogh, whose artwork Maggie loves.
Below is a detailed excerpt of the painting – please click on it for a larger view – it is a blend of watercolor, dried flowers and s mall touch of Caran d'Ache colored pigment pencil for highlights. The paper is Stonehenge smooth textured paper. I mostly use Rembrandt or Van Gogh watercolors, with touches of Chinese white for highlights. I am looking forward to my next painting – please keep an eye on my blog for my next project. You can purchase a beautiful print of this painting from my shop here.
Thanks for visiting!
Portrait Painting Progress….
This is the painting of Maggie so far – in my previous post I described the beginnings of this work.
Here, I have layered the watercolour on Stonehenge ivory paper, and filled in more details, like the fairy by the peony top right, and the cats. I have begun to blend the dried flowers in with painted flowers, too. I will be doing more of this, as well as filling out her hair, adding more small details and subtle highlights. What I love to do is basically free-form the painting; I have an idea of colours and composition, but mostly it's a process of playing with the paint, with the flow and feel of the painting….you can click on it to view it closer up.
A new portrait commission, and other portrait pieces…
I am always honoured to be able to paint someone's portrait. To me, capturing the essence of a person within a painting is not only a wonderful creative expression, but also an intimate journey into their soul…
This is the beginnings of a portrait of Maggie, a wonderful customer who was inspired by my Flora Fairy painting and loves flowers and her two cats, so asked if I could blend all of these together and create a portrait of her. As with the Flora painting, I am using dried pressed flowers I have gathered on my journeys around the world, and overlaying them with watercolours. The overall feel is ethereal, whimsical and delicate. You can click on it for a closer view.
Here are a few examples of portrait styles I have done over the years :
I love doing almost any kind of commissioned artwork, especially portraits. I prefer not to be too attached to defining the realism of the person ~ rather, I draw from my style which uses a quality of magical realism to enhance the uniqueness I see in my subject matter.
If you are interested in having your portrait painted, please contact me for further information on the process, prices etc. I would be very happy to hear from you!

Leda and the Swan watercolour painting progress
I am nearing the end of completing this little painting, which I have really enjoyed doing. As mentioned in a previous post, the concept is based on an ancient Greek myth of Zeus disguised as a swan who seduces the innocent Leda.
I wanted a kind of African nuance, but ethereal too, with allusions to flight and feathers; the dreaminess of Leda's imagination as she ponders Zeus's love…
The Painter's Journey – Part 1: Finding your painter's hands
Recently I received a very touching email from a young painter who wanted to know more about me and my artwork. She was especially interested and inspired by my painting technique and use of colour to express the elements portrayed in my work. Many people ask me where I learned how to paint the way I do – and the the basic answer is that I taught myself.
This will be the first of a few blog posts where I will endeavour to share my knowledge and experience painting with watercolours, acrylics, pen and ink, and maybe a few other things as well!
To start at the beginning of my artistic career – I was an obsessive drawer from the age of two, and by about 4 years old I felt a very strong urge to create images from my very active child's imagination in any way that I could; luckily my parents, being artistic themselves, encouraged and nurtured me all through my creative journey. Drawing came most naturally to me, but soon I intuitively began to experiment with colour, design and composition.
An elderly lady with whom I attended some after school art guided me to growing confidence in expressing my inner artistic vision, with the use of pattern, complimentary colours, symbolism and playfulness in art. I will always be indebted to Mrs. Smith in Johannesburg for the joy she instilled in me for the creative process that all humans inherently posses.
In grade 2 I traded a drawing I made of 2 giraffes kissing, for a chocolate bar, and from that time on I knew my art was worth something. I sold my first painting of a fairy holding a peacock when I was 15 years old, then when I was 19 I embarked on starting my own arts business, beginning with screen printed t-shirts of my fantasy drawings with unicorns, mermaids and cats. Here are the first commissions of that time:
Fantasy paintings for a child's bedroom
My style was still very linear and graphic, but later that I year I completed work for a more painterly, dreamier commission, combining the subject matter of a cat with a passion for the colour green:
Green Cat 1995
This Green Cat was done on canvas board, using a technique which I had developed in my final year at school for my art exam – a self portrait painted on stretched canvas using pen & ink, watercolor and acrylic. I found that the best way to learn to blend watercolours was the hard way: use a very difficult surface like canvas (primed) , to develop a respect and understanding of the more watery aspects of paints and how to make them work for you. The trick is to begin with a light wash of whichever colour will be dominant in your painting, and then work over that in gentle layers as your vision unfolds.
Self Portrait 1992
Mostly, however, I was doing very intricate black and white drawings using a technical Rotring drawing pen with archival pigment ink, which are great for steady line drawing because they steadily dispense the ink through a precision point with a continual flow, making the lines even and smooth and easy to fill in. Below are examples of this type of drawing, which were for a series of 3 commissions. I started with the faces and a rough idea in pencil of what the composition and organic shape of the composition would be, then just drew straight in ink using the process as a form of meditation. I still use this technique today, and never fully sketch my paintings or drawing out. I find it is much more authentic and spontaneous to rely on what comes naturally from one's imagination through hand and instrument, than to relay on sketching everything out first.
Here is a later example of this process at work in Fairy Cat:
Later, well into my 30's and living in Australia running a business Redwhisper Studio co-owned with John Robson, many customers there asked if I had been to a "Steiner" or "Waldorf" School because my artwork was so much like what the educationalist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner taught. This was completely fascinating to me: that I had never hear of him until then, but upon further investigation I realised that my intuitive painting was very much like his artistic educational vision – very dream-like, with bold and emotional use of colour and delicate blending of thoughts, impressions and the very colours themselves to convey the essence of the artist's inner world.
Ceiling, First Goetheanum, by Rudolf Steiner
What this said to me is that everyone has innate creative ability, and those of us who choose to express it through painting need look no further than our own intuition and imagination. Of course, this does take discipline, hard work and inspiration, but the tools are there inside us, just waiting to be unlocked and used.
More on how I explored this in the next part…..Thank you so much for visiting my creative blog, and please feel free to share your own creative thoughts, I would love to learn and share with you!

Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has urged Craig Bellamy not to rush into a decision over retiring.
The 34-year-old confirmed at the weekend that he had been contemplating hanging up his boots at the end of the season, having already opted to bring the curtain down on his international career following Wales' FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
But Mackay feels that the striker - who scored four goals in 33 league appearances in Cardiff's promotion-winning campaign last term - needs to delay his decision.
"I think the remarks from Craig about retiring from football have been made quite casually right now," he told WalesOnline.
"I don't think he's definitely made up his mind yet and that is a good thing. He has said he will retire from international football to spend more time with his family and everyone respects that after what he has given for Wales.
"I think with football in general though he has got to that point in his career when you do reflect upon things. You start to wonder what the future holds for you outside of playing. I had that very much myself too.
"But I think Craig has got time to consider that at the end of the season and make a decision."
Mackay made Bellamy his captain for their first season back in the top flight in over half a century, and the former Liverpool forward has started all three games, including a shock 3-2 victory over 2011-12 champions Manchester City.

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. - One juvenile justice program is breaking barriers by teaching troubled teenagers skills to help them get 'green jobs' - after serving their time.
Thanks to a new grant, AMI Kids Crossroads (a residential juvenile justice program in Punta Gorda, FL) is one of the first in the state to teach the eco-energy course.
Terry Malloy has been teaching for years, but this semester he's doing it a little differently stating, "Green is where the jobs are right now and in our job market, as anyone can tell you its pretty thin."
The 14-19 year olds spend up to nine months at AMI Kids Crossroads trying to get their lives back in order.
"Most of them are very far behind in school, so that's our first priority to help them catch up," says John Davidson, director of the program.
Students are learning how to set up and install renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines - allowing them to propel into the workforce or transfer the credit to a technical college.

Monson: BYU, though imperfect, deserves better from the Power 5
The more Tom Holmoe talked during his recent media summit, the more it became clear that he knows what you know that he knows that you know:
BYU isn't just an independent.
It is alone.
It has been left out by the five power leagues of college football, the programs by which the Cougars measure themselves, the schools and teams that have what they want: exposure, scheduling, access, relevance, opportunity and money.
As loners, they are not an exception. They are not Notre Dame, the program to which the Cougars attempted to tether themselves, or at least identify with and pattern themselves after. If the Irish could make independence work, then there was also hope for BYU.
Now, Holmoe said the series with Notre Dame is in question. Everything has changed, he said.
One thing remains the same: Notre Dame is Notre Dame and BYU isn't.
Notre Dame can navigate the churned, changed waters of college football. BYU might be able to stay afloat in that big, broad ocean, but nothing is certain. Not with leagues mandating that its members play nonconference games against teams from other power leagues, but then not granting BYU that same status or showing BYU the respect that status brings. On top of that, there's the more ominous threat that the P5, with its newly granted autonomy, could only schedule games against themselves. That would push BYU football off a cliff.
The Cougars deserve better than that.
They should be in a P5 league, or at a minimum have similar status.
Theirs is a proud football tradition that includes everything from a Heisman Trophy to a national championship, with plenty of Doak Walker Award winners, Outland Trophy winners, national player and coach of the year award winners mixed in. There have been many losses to powerful programs in that history, but also some memorable big wins. Their regular-season schedule has rarely been anything to shout about, a whole lot of their victories have been against dog teams, but in their independence they are attempting to remedy that.
BYU has top-drawer facilities, a great stadium and a large fan base.
There are numerous P5 schools that cannot match the Cougars' success or tradition, success and tradition that have been earned mostly via emphasis on football, on investing in football, on innovative coaching and developing some terrific players. They've had enough of an impact and presence on the college landscape to be included now.
If it were left to athletic directors, at least those in past years that I've interviewed, BYU already would be in the Pac-12. Based on performance of teams in the athletic department, football in particular, and the interest it creates, those ADs said they would have loved to have the Cougars aboard.
For reasons that go far beyond sports, the presidents went another way.
Utah made it in, and is going through the adjustments necessary to get acclimated. That's a good thing.
BYU got shafted. It's a good fit geographically, its student-body is mostly from the West, many from California, as are so many of its alumni and fans. The research-institution excuse is bogus, as was evident when the old Pac-10 went after certain attractive football schools, and failed. Cougar football would suffer growing pains in that competitively difficult environment, but would also adjust.
Now, the Cougars are doing what they can to get into the Big 12, a conference with only 10 schools and without a championship game — leagues need a minimum of 12 for that — and if it were left to Bronco Mendenhall, that's where BYU would end up.
In June, he famously told the Austin American-Statesman: "We would love to be in the Big 12. I would love to be a member of that conference." Then, he rattled off the reasons that affiliation made so much sense.
On Wednesday, Holmoe essentially said that BYU's position and what the school offers is known by the Big 12, and BYU certainly knows the advantages of being included. A stopgap could be the Cougars continuing to link up with such leagues by scheduling a slew of games with them. That is true with the Pac-12. BYU's future schedules are loaded up — and getting more that way — with teams from that league. An additional home-and-home series with Washington was just announced. It seems BYU is that sweet date that's hot enough to flirt with but not quite good enough to marry.
In the past, the Cougars developed a reputation for being crazy-hot, difficult to deal with — and that's a rep that they still live down. It would be interesting to know if they had to do things over again, if they would be a bit more pliable in their negotiations. Some of their unique demands — not playing on Sunday — might never be altered. But others, such as TV rights, might have been.
Either way, BYU teetering on the edge of the college football precipice, facing the reality of being left out, while other schools that have done less to deserve inclusion enjoy their inside benefits, is an injustice. BYU deserves better.
Holmoe knows that you know that he knows that you know that, too.

Everything about the trip was fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and offered help assistance with any queries we had.
The rooms were comfortable and exactly what we were looking for on our 11 day stay.
The holiday had the perfect balance of nights out for a few drinks, relaxing on the beach and also taking in all the attractions Cape Town has to offer. Sea Point as a location is ideal as you are not too far, bay car, from the CBD or Clifton beach/Camps Bays. - Anonymous
Very quite family freindly .The view at night out of this world. - Anonymous
The apartments are extremely nice. We were a group of 6 friends that rented the penthouse and our expectation were topped, a superb view and a very nice, clean place. We were also surprised to see that the apartment had anything you would wish for in the kitchen. The washing machine came in handy as well. The hotel is just minutes to walk from the restaurants and bars on Long Street. At the ground floor of the hotel we found a supermarket / sushi restaurant that came in quite handy. All in all, - Anonymous
Excellent staff. Beautiful rooms, very spacious, well furnished and very clean. Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of vegetation, nice pool area and the beautiful sight of the Table mountain right behind it. Will always stay there with any visit to Capetown. Highly recommended. - Anonymous
The spacious size of our 3 bedroomed apartment on the 6th floor was
lovely for our party of 6 adults. The kitchen area was well designed and
equiped and the beds were very comfortable. Lots of wardrobe space.The
Business area downstairs was very useful. Underground car park was good. - Anonymous
La Savina was the best hotel I stayed in when I was in South Africa. La Savina is centrally located. 2 min walk to the Canel Walk. 10 min taxi ride to VA Waterfront, 20 mins to Camps Bay. Great on security. If you are looking for a hotel that gives you the home feeling this is your hotel. Do not be mislead and stay in Downtown Cape town it is better to stay outside the city. - Gabriel
No cabman knew where the hotel locates. Teach them, please - Robert
This is a brand new hotel - open for just 2 months. Its location is on the fringe of busy downtown Cape Town, and is thus safe and secure, and within easy walking distance from all the major attractions including the popular VandA waterfront, and it is minutes away from the Convention Center. The hotel staff was excellent. - Cupido
Beautiful yet simple, trendy design, nice patio, great room, great cleaning staff and convenient location to convention center, or 7 minute walk to waterfront over a major/safe road. Concierge staff and security were friendly. Huge studio apartment, partial views of waterfront (beyond some Maersk shipping containers!). - Anonymous
The mountain view from our window was fantastic.
The lifts worked very efficiently.
Easy access to the parking garage was good.
Having a restaurant and shopping facilities close at hand.
As we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, the rose petal heart on out bed was a very nice thought. - Anonymous
Great hotel with very simply decorated rooms. We stayed in an ocean view room with a great balcony overlooking the beautiful blue sea of camps bay. Breakfast was very good with different offers each day! The muffins are amazing!! The staff was very welcoming and always ready to help and organize activities/tours. It takes around 5 to 10 minutes walking to get from the hotel to Camps Bay, which is great since it is quieter than the hotels present on the main road. We loved our stay at 3 on Camps - Anonymous
Balfour place is a hidden gem in Camps Bay. It has a stunning view of the sea and mountains. I would strongly recommend anybody who looks for some calm, but also prefers buzzing restaurants and beach in a short walk. The staff and Janet, the manager, was extremely helpful with all little specific requests. If I'm in Cape Town again, I'll definitely come back. - Anonymous
The room was really great, very comfortable and great view of the mountains from the balcony. It is a really short walk (5 mins tops) to Camps Bay beach with its assortments of great restaurants and bars. Off street parking was also handy. - Anonymous
We got a very good rate. The hotel is modern, luxurious enough and in a
great location, 15 drive to Cape Town City, but with plenty to do right
on the doorstep. We traveled with our 4 year old, and they made a comfy
bed for her on the floor, but as the Executive suite was designed with a
divide between the lounge/kitchen and the bed, we still had our
privacy, which worked out very well. The beds were super comfy and when
we asked for flatter pillows they were replaced immediately. More
Rooibos - Anonymous
Very comfortable, well located. It combines a quiet, "off the beaten path" location with a hotel that was within walking distance of all the best of Cape Town. Very helpful front desk with fantastic assistance in all things. A really great hotel and well worth the price. - Anonymous
