I've never used Satin Ice before so I can't make an actual comparison. But I do use MMF and have had similar issues with it still melting. Humidity is the real threat to all kinds of fondant. Also beware of cake carriers or other sealing containers that increase moisture levels.
It really depends on what you used the fondant for but here is a summary of my thoughts/advice:
If they are fondant decorations/toppers I try to make them at least a few days in advance so they can set. Considering a solid fondant figure won't dry completely I sometimes add tylose powder to make it more like gumpaste and aid in hardening. I've also used marshmallow treats to shape a large object and then wrap that in a thin layer of fondant. It definitely holds better shape and dries easily - no issues with melting.
As far as covering cakes in fondant I've heard that using the "cardboard box" trick helps with condensation. Package the finished/covered cake in a cardboard box (completely enclosed if possible but the more surrounding cardboard the better) and stick everything in the frig. Some even go as far to wrap the cardboard box in plastic wrap. When you remove the cake keep it in the box which will absorb the moisture. As the cake comes to room temperature it will give off some perspiration but that should dry - just leave it be and keep it in the box. Obviously, if you bring a cake out of the frig and into a hot/humid room or outdoors it's at greater risk. Plan ahead and get the room cooled with a/c. Then decrease the a/c so you can gradually bring the room and the cake closer to its natural state. By then the cake should be okay and you can bring "out" for serving. It should be fine as long as you don't expose it to heat for too long or put it in direct sunlight.
Another important factor is what you used to frost underneath the fondant - assuming this was a fondant covered cake. A buttercream with a high water content (i.e. cream cheese) will give off tons of moisture. Many people hear rave about using ganache under a cake. It smoothes very well and will set nicely to create a nice foundation for the fondant.
Here's a great recipe for LMF (named after the creator I think) that I really love. It has a "special" ingredient that helps make the fondant very soft but stable. And it tastes really good. This makes a decent batch (about 4lbs) so reduce the recipe if you're not sure and just want to try it out. I highly recommend it for figures, cut-outs, and covering. http://artisancakecompany.com/2012/11/the-best-marshmallow-fondant-recipe-ever/ Best part is it's way more affordable than buying the pre-made stuff.
I've noticed with other basic MMF recipes that it can become too soft sometimes especially when I'm coloring it red or black and need to add a lot of gel. If you only need one color you can reduce the water in the MMF recipe and sub your food coloring gel to add at the stage it calls for water. It's important to get your fondant to a soft but workable consistency before using it. It shouldn't feel too sticky and if it does add more powdered sugar. You want to be able to pull it apart like taffy but still have it "break" if that makes sense. Also be careful if you're using shortening to grease because that will obviously soften the fondant. Some prefer to use cornstarch over powdered sugar to dust when rolling out fondant. Others like using a silicone mat and no powders at all. You gotta find out what works best for you. But it sounds like your first Satin Ice experience wasn't a good one.
Wow - sorry for the extremely long response! I hope some of this info. can help you in one way or another. Most important of all - don't give up! You were smart for making a trial cake. Better luck on your final run :)
For the most part, when it's hot and humid, it won't matter what standard fondant you're using--it will sweat. If the cake and fondant are cooler than the ambient air, it will sweat the worst.
Massa Ticino Tropic by Carma is a fondant that is specially formulated for hotter, more humid climates. I know people who live in south Florida, the Caribbean, etc. who swear by it. I've used it, but not under extreme conditions, and it's a lovely (but pricey) product. I don't know what about the formula helps it to deal better with heat & humidity.
When I first started using it, I would give a sample of my old favourite and this one, and tell them the price difference if they ordered carma's, every person, with one exception, chose carmas.
It's never "just cake!"
You may get a cake for $way to little but you won't get this cake!
It's never "just cake!"
You may get a cake for $way to little but you won't get this cake!
I have not had quite the extremes of humidity as mentioned above, but have worked in very hot temperatures. I use Massa Grischuna neutral from Albert Ulster Imports. I like it because it handles beautifully. It sets up to a dry satiny finish very quickly, and I have never had it sweat or soften. It tastes so good, like those Brach's white nougat candies with the gels in them. I eat it straight out of the bag. The flavor is why I prefer it to the Massa Ticino Tropic which is also wonderful to work with and still far better tasting than Wilton or SI. . It comes in 13.2 lb buckets, and of course lasts practically forever. It is 4.78 a pound. With shipping (to California from New York, comes in 2 days) it is 6.68 per pound. I think it is worth every penny. It is not worth the few dollars saved to compromise on the first thing that everyone sees. The company is wonderful. It is all I use. I think Wilton and Satin Ice taste awful. I buy it if it is on sale, and use it for cake boards and figures unlikely to be eaten.
The people at Albert Ulster are so nice, they might even send you a sample. http://www.auiswisscatalogue.com/505023.html
No problem.
You an get it in a smaller quantity at a marginally lower price from
fondant source .com (run it all together for the actual website).
If you put in cakecentral as a code at checkout, I believe that you still get a 10% discount. Their shipping is usually reasonable, too.

Jan. date to rule on BP $4.5B plea deal over spill
By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press
December 11, 2012 | Updated: December 11, 2012 5:46pm
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge will decide next month whether to accept a plea deal that calls for BP PLC to pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties for its role in a deadly 2010 rig explosion and the massive oil spill it triggered in the Gulf of Mexico.
To resolve a Justice Department probe, the London-based oil giant agreed last month to plead guilty to criminal charges involving the deaths of 11 workers and to lying to Congress about how much oil spilled from its blown-out well.
After a closed-door meeting Tuesday with attorneys, U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance scheduled a Jan. 29 hearing where she will either accept or reject BP's plea agreement with the government.

Describing someone who does not feel entitled to the position (in terms of 'power') as a WIMP is unfair - what has happened to HUMILITY!
In the book "Good to Great" a study found that CEOs that had been promoted to that position from within the company, frequently out of necessity, and had the humility to acknowledge they were not gods, led their companies better than the flashy alpha males who might lead their companies for a few years of intense growth, but arrogance makes them over confident and they make bad choices.
Being humble and being a wimp aren't the same. I think the study proves that people who don't necessarily think they deserve their position of power are more likely to be fair and honest. I would prefer leaders like that any day over lying, cheating, hypocrites.
'Half of 105 participants were asked to write about a past experience in which they had legitimately been given a role of high or low power.' How do you halve a sample of 105 participants?
To echo several other commenters - this is exceptionally good science writing.
Only thing - I'd expect a link to the article - which can be found on Galinsky's homepage here:
Obviously the "wimp" sentence was intended with a big "wink" - but I'm still curious what's going on here. The way "illegitimate" is created in the experiments is to prime the subjects with a situation in which they were powerful/less for illegitimate reasons. It would be really interesting what people were thinking there.
In my own research one (non-US) unionist told me that he preferred to deal with business leaders from the time of universal conscription, because they had experienced illegitimate power - is something like that going on here?
Or is it awareness of (social?) injustice that makes people more lenient on others? (note that hypercrisy is present among both powerful and powerless primed subjects).
I get the feeling that some posters missed the point of the article. It was not that we need to attract more honest people to power, after all it was the (statistically) *same* people who acted entitled when they imagined themselves in positions of deserved high power and who were 'honest' when primed to low or undeserved high power.
That the corruptible might be attracted to power would make things worse, but it's not a precondition for what was seen in this experiment.
Of course, even given the statistics, there were no doubt many who were not corrupted by power. I would have loved to see if they found any at least semi-reliable predictors of 'incorruptibility'.
In India the day you are elected as a MP,or State legislator or secure a job as a police official or state government official you think you can flaunt your position,earn money by dishonest means and generally get away with it.
Why? We Indians dare not penalise the rich, powerful and mighty.
This unfortunately has gone into our national DNA
CA-Oxonian is probably right about power-seekers being driven by evolutionary biology. Narcissism gives them a head start as they believe they are destined to have it. And power probably is the best aphrodysiac as adoring mates seem to be amoral. They do not question too deeply how the powerful acquired their power. But the equation is far from simple. Those who fail to grasp power will try to wrest it from the powerful and topple them, as they too are driven by biology. Power-seeking is therefore a high-risk, high-return game. Corruption may pay off for a while. But it's Big Boys' Rules, and power-abusers are fair game and often miscalculate and underestimate their foes. How many offspring did Hitler leave? None. What happened to Saddam Hussein, and Ceausescu, and Mussolini? They came to a sticky end. Could these "leaders" be described as evolutionarily successful? Surely the best evolutionary strategy in a post-Tamerlane (might is right!) world of the rule of law and democracy is to seize power by fair means, stay above criticism, and become a wise, honest leader of impeccable integrity loved by all. Then you get all the benefits of power (resources and mates) without being tainted with and made vulnerable by corruption.
Great article apart from the "Alpha-male vs Wimp" suggestion. Empathy is the most underrated Leadership competency which is vital in the 21st century when knowledge is no longer power and telling people what to do just does not work (either socially or neurologically). Also the alpha-male vs wimp comparison has nothing to do with values. Great leaders think, feel and act beyond their ego.
An interesting article about an endlessly fascinating topic. Well done The Economist, more please!
I'm surprised that narcissism has not been discussed at all in this analysis of the relationship between power and corruption. Power seems to attract those with narcissistic personality disorders (NPD) as bees to honey. They seem to share many of the character traits of those who are easily corrupted by power, entitlement being just one example.
There are some advantages to having narcissists in charge. They have drive and get things done, so long as those "things" accord with their own vision, and their craving for affirmation. But a problem arises when rules get in their way, in which case, so much the worse for the rules.
Some time ago an acquaintance who was proud of his lifelong socialist credentials and his compassion for his colleagues became a manager in his firm and gradually developed a taste for power, frequently talking about his ambition to climb further up the greasy pole. But when his colleagues joined a union and fought back after they were illegally laid off, he took it as a personal affront and a threat to his career ambitions, threatening to crush them and perjuring himself in court documents. It seemed as though high-minded socialist principles and the rule of law could be sacrificed to his own ambition without any sense of irony or awareness of self-contradiction or hypocrisy.
It's not power that corrupts. Power can often be used wisely. We need checks and balances, and wise leaders who refrain from using power to line their own pockets and feed their own internal agendas.
If fewer people were Yahoos, imbeciles,crooks and scoundrels, we would need much less state to regulate their unwanted behaviour.
Interesting article, bravo to the Economist.
Thought provoking and informative, it raises some questions -
1) What is it that inspires people to want to be in positions power?
2) Is the pre-power belief of what it might be like in a powerful position the same as the actual being in a position of power?
3) What constitutes a successful person in a powerful position, and by what means do they get there and continue to remain in that position?
4) How do high-powered individuals thrive and succeed particularly when faced with adversity?
--very funny and provocative ending to article--
So Lord Acton was right....what next? His solution was liberty, but it appears that power on a micro level also corrupts. What does this mean in a business setting, where many people are in positions of power or could be led astray by feelings of entitlement? We're not talking about 1 dictator ruling a country here, but thousands of bosses, etc contributing to companies. Is there a difference?
For more discussion on this issue, and lots of insightful questions, check out the Acton School of Business' blog at
Most decent and intelligent people shun positions of power when they are offered the opportunity to take them. The thought of lording it over and ordering other intelligent autonomous beings around appalls them. Normally, only those with deep feelings of insecurity and a need to boss others around will seize the chance. Far from being wimps, the reluctant ones are sound and mature.
Some valid points made in comments if perhaps repetitive what's interesting to note is the Evolutionary take on it and its failings. If as Evolutionary theory suggests Power is acquired for means of survival (better choice of partners and propagating genes) then what is to be made of Power for the Betterment of Mankind as a whole? - Would that be perhaps delegated to females under Evolutionary theory propositions? Is that reductionist and does it in turn absolve individuals of certain responsibilities?
Another point to be made (at the risk of being repetitive) - What are the proponents underlying one's belief that they are capable (and even entitled) to be in a position of power? - Would that be previous experiences, as illustrated in the studies in this article? - Does that imply that for instance individuals who haven't experienced empowering experiences will not be inclined to climb the greasy pole? Is it the contrary? Or is it the individual's perception and response to an experience that determines whether they consider themselves to be of a certain caliber?
As a citizen of a small country I can see how those political "hidalgos", (heraldry title for those "sons of someone") meaning high position people, feel this way in most of political positions they reach under this parameters.
There you can see how those social revolutionaries call these kind of political as "oligarcas" meaning people who reach positions where can get finantial benefits corrupted on detriment of the poor, because they "deserve" it... this may be a good reason for socialist and Chavist guys to claim a revolution... changing who's in charge of "managing" the peoples money for the same reasons...
Hypercrisy and Corruption
The people, who are in the higher position, are treated as talent people in their work, no matter how they get the position. Therefore, not only themselves see them special but also the world tread them special.
It just likes climbing the mountain. When people standing on the top of the mountain, they feel great, super and others feel like they are heros. At the beginning they enjoy successful achievement, later, however, they start to enjoy to be worshiped and to be looked up or looked down to others. They start to think that they have experienced a lot to achieve what they have right now, therefore, they should be entitled to have privilege
First this is a very interesting study indeed.
some conclusions: in the western system of democracy everyone who runs for any type of office and win it is a hypocrite and corrupt to some extent.
- Only people who are given the power by a higher authority are "clean" but they are "wimps"
- Clean = wimp
- Wimps are clean because they are afraid of "Alpha" individuals who has no power!!!
Hmmmm very interesting indeed....
Another interesting observation: corruption is part of eastern and Islamic cultures as seen by European artists eyes (and article writers)
Nice explanation of some interesting research indeed.
But one has to wonder about the last few lines touting the choice between Alpha Males/Femals vs Wimps ... thats seems like a fallacy of false choice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma
There is no reason to settle for the lowest common denominator in all of us.
Do those elevated into a position of power, whom at first felt they do not deserve the position, eventually move into a mindset of self-entitlement as a result of holding such a position for some period of time? If the answer is yes then the study would further support the idea that power corrupts all – It just takes some time for it to occur.
It could be interesting to verify a common thinking,(in many countries),that if you do the law, you are above the law or, if you execute the law, you can digress from it. I would like to add that the reference made to gender is unfounded or not supported by the research reviewed in this article unless the was an equal number of men and women in the groups.

Reedo, I just got a pair in. Yes, it's waxy (but not crazy or really shiny) so I washed it (smelled weird so this was necessary), hung it dry and it seems duller now. Maybe it will get even duller/more matte with wear and subsequent washing.
I sized down 1. Decent fit; not a bad pair of cheap beaters.
I normally wear 29 in everything; sized 28 on these. They're a touch loose in the waist - measurements reported on their website are accurate - but fit well everywhere else. Didn't measure the hem, but the're probably around 6.75 - 7 in (this may scale to 7-7.25 with larger sizes), very close to an old pair of APC's I have.
Fabric is okay, not really shitty, not especially heavy/dense/luxe. 2% spandex or poly or whatever, so there's a bit of stretch. For $50, I am not complaining, especially because the fit is generally good/how I like them. They're certainly an adequate stand-in until I find something better. I would have grabbed the T000's but those are long gone on the website.

cool, thanks guys. makes me feel more at ease. i usually use usps all the time but this last semester is getting absurdly busy and has taken precedent to selling of things so i haven't been shipping stuff nearly as often for the past few months (or posting/browsing fashion forums). i wouldn't have even noticed but the buyer messaged me about it expressing concern that it didn't update. doesn't help that i didn't sleep at all last night so i'm probably not making the soundest reactions. looks like one of the packages has updated since i posted even. kinda throws the theft idea out the window.
so one package sent within the country has been delivered. the other one sent by ems to canada still hasn't updated tracking. i had to go back to the post office today and was told someone probably just missed it with the scanner. i dropped it off on monday. 3-5 day delivery is guaranteed, so it should have been delivered around today or tomorrow. i can get a refund on shipping, but would still be out some money (and a backpack). anyone been in similar circumstances and know what i should expect? i'm still hoping it will turn up in the next week or so and be delivered a bit late - it wouldn't be the first time i've seen something like that with usps, but it's not common and i know it could be lost.
well fuck me it came today, shit is floppy as fuck

why this is a random fashion thought: because, if i took that place, there's a chance I'd be stepping over someone's sleeping mother while walking to my closet.

so I was apartment hunting on craigslist today. i found a one-bedroom in a pretty good neighborhood with a great rent and got excited until an e-mail exchange revealed I'd be sharing that one-bedroom apartment with another tenant and his mother. whaaaat

The King reclaims his crown
PARIS -- Five years ago, a swashbuckling, 19-year-old Majorcan strode into Roland Garros.
He wore his dark hair long, almost to his shoulders; his white capri pants were midcalf; and a sleeveless green shirt showcased his bulging biceps. His raw, willful game found a home on the red clay. Two weeks and seven victims later, he owned the place.

Rafael Nadal is 24 now, a pirate no more. The shorts are shorter, and so is the hair. His shirt has sleeves, and his muscles exhibit less mass but far more definition. His game is bigger and infused with offense -- even when defense seems like the only option.
Nadal won four consecutive French Open titles, but last year a scowling Swede named Robin Soderling ended a run of 31 straight victories in the fourth round. One year later, on an overcast Sunday, the king reclaimed his crown with a vengeance.
Playing the kind of breathtaking, ethereal clay-court tennis of which he alone is capable, Nadal wrecked Soderling on Court Philippe Chatrier, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
Later, after two separate sprawled-in-the-dirt celebrations, Nadal sat alone in his changeover chair, his face buried in a towel, and sobbed. It was precisely then when you could see what this tournament means to him. Nadal has now won 38 of 39 matches at Roland Garros.
"Very, very important for me," Nadal said. "One of the most important victories in my career I think. It was a difficult year for me last year. It was difficult to accept the injuries and everything."
What was he thinking about when he hid his face from 15,000 spectators?
"I don't know," Nadal said. "I was there crying. It was a real emotional moment for me. The moment, after a lot of nerves, a lot of pressure. A difficult year after you win the title, you lose your tension."
Three-time French Open champion Mats Wilander was impressed. "He's a much, much more complete player than he used to be," Wilander said. "He's playing faster, hitting the ball with lower trajectory and deeper, too. He's serving better, too, moving the ball around."
It was the fifth title for Nadal at Roland Garros, achieved in only six years. Only Bjorn Borg, with six French Open championships, has won more. The silver-haired Swede turned 54 on Sunday; you have to wonder whether this time next year, he'll have company in the record book here.
More statistical housekeeping: Nadal concluded the clay season with 22 consecutive victories, winning 51 of 53 sets -- including all 21 sets at Roland Garros. Nadal also had a clean run in 2008, something only two other men achieved here, Borg (twice) and Ilie Nastase.
Although Nadal played cleanly, Soderling didn't play at his best. "I didn't play as good this year as I did against him last year," Soderling said afterward. "I didn't serve as well. I wasn't hitting the ball as clean.
"It was a tough today. I didn't really get into the match. He was playing extremely well. He didn't miss much, but I had to really fight today."
Nadal meandered through the field here, never really getting stressed until he was forced into two tiebreakers by Nicolas Almagro in the quarterfinals. Perhaps inspired by the magnitude of the moment, Nadal played his best match of the fortnight.
In the second set, it was like watching a collection of Nadal's greatest hits: the heavy, hooked forehand down the line that starts over the doubles alley and breaks sharply down and over for a winner, the artfully carved drop shot that has so much rotation it barely bounces, the cross-court backhand from well behind the baseline that barely clears the net and exits the court at an impossibly acute angle.
The match was decided in a few quietly desperate points of the second set. Serving at 0-1, Nadal saved four break points and then crushed Soderling with some searing stuff. In the fifth game, Soderling hit what looked like a winning forehand, but Nadal not only ran it down but also flicked a backhand stab that traveled cross-court past a baffled Soderling.
Nadal was asked about his ability to summon supreme concentration in break-point situations. He referenced the weekly ATP World Tour statistics package.
"I am No. 1 on break points saved," he said, laughing. "Specialist."
Soderling, who knocked Roger Federer out of the tournament in the quarterfinals to become the first man to beat defending champions in back-to-back years, didn't play all that badly.
Forced to be aggressive because of Nadal's defense, Soderling wound up with 13 more unforced errors (45) than winners. Nadal had a positive net of 12, equaled Soderling's seven aces and did not have his serve broken once.
This was Rafa's seventh Grand Slam singles title, vaulting him past Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg and into a tie with John McEnroe and Wilander. He now trails the remarkable trio of Andre Agassi, Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors by only one.

Nadal, who first attained the No. 1 ranking two years ago when he won the French Open and Wimbledon back to back, returns to the commanding position he occupied for 46 consecutive weeks.
It's not too early to wonder whether Rafa can win that rare double again this year.
"This is the best I've seen him play," Wilander said. "He'll be very tough to beat at Wimbledon as well."
Nadal said he was nervous before the match. He also admitted he had doubts last year about whether would ever return to the form of a Grand Slam champion.
"Sure," he said. "Everybody have doubts. I am not an exception."
Nadal was asked which was more important, the No. 1 ranking or another title at Roland Garros.
"I was crying after the match," he said. "The last thing I was thinking was the No. 1. I was thinking of the title and all the hard work."

Sheriff weighs in on gun control
In mid January, President Barack Obama issued over 20 executive orders related to gun control on the federal level. On Thursday, Jan. 24, Sheriff K.C. Hamp, the chief law enforcement officer for Tunica County, discussed the new protocol and its implications on citizens in this community.
"I support the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment giving citizens the right to bear arms," Hamp said. "I echo the ban of law enforcement around the nation of keeping high power assault weapons out of the hands of gangs, terrorists and the mentally challenged."
Hamp said an assault weapon, also commonly known as a machine gun, belongs in the hands of law enforcement officers and the military. Weapons that have the capacity to fire many rounds and "hurt a lot of people" should not fall into the hands of just anyone, he said.

The trip took around about 2 hours (it was quite boring). When we arrived, we were informed of our sleeping arrangements and all the boys were in the first cabin. The next day we went to our first activities: Mid-Ropes & abseiling. At first I didn't want to do mid-ropes but I ended up doing it in the end. On Wednesday we played rocket ball and did possum pull. Rocket ball was my favourite because you got to shoot a tennis ball with a giant slingshot. Possum pull was where ten people had to pull one person up about 20 metres high. That afternoon we went for a bushwalk and did the tower of tremble. Tower of tremble was where we had to stack a tower of milk crates as high as we could while balancing on top. Our record was 9.5 levels. On our second last day we did archery, it was fun. After that we did bush craft. It was my overall favourite. I learnt some bird- calls and tasted tea. On the last day, Friday, we cleaned up the cabins and had lunch and left. By William Hagan The Lessons from Yandina As you may be aware, two weeks ago, a hardy group of students from years six and seven ventured to the Maranatha Camp at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast. Now that the clothes have been washed (burned?), the photos indexed and the welcome-home meals digested, it's time to reflect on what we learned and why we learnt it. To me, as a teacher, the camp was not about sleeping bags and second helpings. It was not even about the ropes course and bushcraft. While these things were fun, I'm sure the children themselves will report widely on them. I would rather focus on the lessons the children taught and showed me during the five days. Three things stood out to me. First, they had a go. Activities like the ropes course and possum pull can be daunting. This is doubly so if one has a dislike of heights, sudden jerking movements and wedgies. Nonetheless, they had a go. Even the ones who baulked on the first attempt made a second effort and tried their best. Some first time baulkers completed the whole course unaided. On some activities, stu- dents had to wear a harness and pull as a team. I saw children gird themselves and act as one, arms linked urging each other to make headway. Secondly, the students volunteered to help out. Often the people on kitchen duty either needed extra help, or for some reason were a little late. On these occasions, there was always a band of people ready to don the rubber gloves and serve the starving masses. Finally, and for me, most importantly, at no time was any student ridiculed or made to feel small when he or she did not under- take a task beyond his or her comfort zone. When a child froze on the ropes course there was nothing but encouragement, fol- lowed by genuine jubilation from all when the job was done. I even saw a year six boy approach a year seven boy who had felt the stress of heights. When down safely and recovering, the shaken lad was met with an arm around the shoulder and the em- brace of mates bonded by effort and achievement. This single moment was enough to make the whole camp a worthwhile ven- ture. For the above reasons and several more, I am extremely proud of all thirty two children who participated on the Yandina camp. Hearty thanks need to go to Mrs Domotor and our three parent/grandparent helpers, Lisa Kilov, Mark Stace and Shirley Stray, without whom the camp would not have been as great a triumph. At Norfolk Village State School, we teach the children to be safe, learners and respectful. At camp we also saw a glimpse into their character. It gives me cause to be proud of my school, my colleagues, and my students. Simon Yung On Sunday the 2nd of August year 6 and 7 set off to Canberra at 3 pm. At 2:30pm we were all at the school waiting to load our bags and get on the bus. We were all excited to go, even though we knew it was going to take 18 hours to get to Canberra. On the bus we were watching some movies. While we were on the bus the bus driver was talk- ing to us about all of the Australian icons along the way. When we got to Canberra, we quickly got off the bus and grabbed our bags with excitement, got to our cabins and made our beds. We then had breakfast and set off to Parliament House. At the New Parliament House we did a role play and learnt how to propose a bill in the House of Representatives. Next was the visit to the Old Parliament House. First we spilt up into two groups. Group one went to the Library. In the old days both the Senate and the House of Representatives were both al- lowed to use the Library. Group two went to an activity room which displayed all of the Prime Ministers from the past to the pre- sent. Then we had lunch. For lunch we had Subway. The War Memorial was our next stop. We learnt lots of really interesting facts about the different wars that Austra- lians have been involved in. While we were exploring we saw the grave of the Unknown Soldier. After that we went to Discovery Zone. In Discovery Zone there are a lot of hands on activities and you can dress up like real sol- diers. Then we stayed to the end of the day for the closing ceremony. Lastly, we drove back to our cabins, our school group stayed in the Peewee Lodge. Once we settled in we went to have dinner. After dinner everyone was excited to settle into their beds and went to sleep, as we had a very busy first day. The best highlights of Canberra camp were C.S.I.R.O, Questacon, Dinosaur Museum, Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Taronga Park Zoo. There were many other things that we did but these were the highlights because: The C.S.I.R.O. was fun because we got to see a 3D movie and what the scientists are working on for the future. Questacon had a free fall slide that was 6-7 metres high. Another highlight was a house that you go in and it shows you what it's like to be in an earthquake. The dinosaur museum was really interesting because it was really dark and late at night. The tour guide would give you facts about the different dinosaurs and would shine the torch at the interesting parts. At AIS we walked through lots of training facilities where some of the athletes train on a daily basis. They had a facility for visitors called Sportex. We did lots of hands-on activities like rock climbing, skiing, rowing, bike riding and lots more. At Taronga Park Zoo we saw lots of cute baby animals like the baby elephant and even meerkats. The baby chimps and the pygmy hippo were our favourite. We would like to thank our bus drivers and all the teachers and parents for taking us on the Canberra camp. We had a fantastic trip!!

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"This means tremendous joy to you, I know, even though you are temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials and temptations. This is no accident — it happens to prove your faith, which is infinitely more valuable than gold ..." (1 Peter 1:6-7 PH)
In order to build your faith, God will give you a dream. Then, he'll urge you to make a decision. But then he'll allow a delay, because in the delay he matures you and prepares you for what is to come.
The truth is, you'll have difficulties while God delays. This isn't because he doesn't care about you or that he's forgotten your circumstances; rather, it's one of the ways he pushes you toward the deep end of faith.
As God delays, you'll face two types of difficulties: circumstances and critics. This is a natural part of life. God designed it this way because he knows we grow stronger when facing adversity and opposition.
When Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt into the desert toward the Promised Land, he had one problem after another. First there was no water. Then there was no food. Then there were a bunch of complainers. Then there were poisonous snakes. Moses was doing what God wanted him to do, but he still had problems.
David was anointed king, and then for the next several years he was hunted down by Saul. Joseph had a dream of becoming a ruler, yet he was sold into slavery and thrown into prison on a false charge where he languished, forgotten. Imagine the difficulties Noah had building a floating zoo!
The Bible says that when Moses died, Joshua was appointed the new leader. Moses led the people across the desert, and then Joshua led them into the Promised Land. Did he get the easy part? The Bible says that when the Israelites entered the Promised Land, there were giants in the land. Even in the Promised Land there were problems!
God does this because he is building our faith and character. When we finally come to a place where the difficulties become so bad, where we've reached our limit, where we've tried everything and exhausted all our options, it is then that God begins a mighty work through us: "This means tremendous joy to you, I know, even though you are temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials and temptations. This is no accident — it happens to prove your faith, which is infinitely more valuable than gold ..." (1 Peter 1:6-7 PH)

Growing up down there: me and my pubic hair
Why should young women feel ashamed of their perfectly natural 'lady gardens'?
We have been duped. So many young women I know are having their pubic hair torn from their skin because their partner wishes or expects them to do so.
I have had more than one partner request that I remove all my pubic hair, and I confess to having been conflicted. I mean, they would clearly find me more attractive that way. That must mean I am unattractive now. I've even encountered a man who told me, with a suggestive leer, that the idea of a woman undergoing the pain of waxing that area "just for him" gave him tremendous pleasure.
Hygiene is one thing, looking like a prepubescent girl is another. I've always kept myself groomed, but I've always felt rather ashamed. Given my experience, that's hardly surprising.
A new partner
When I started seeing someone new a few months ago, I was forced to address that shame in a way that many of my female peers don't. I found myself in a relationship with that rare and wonderful creature: a male feminist. He declared that every woman he had ever been with had been completely hairless, and he thought this was silly.
When he asked me why I subjected myself to uncomfortable and irritating maintenance for the sake of an arbitrary male preference, I could not give him a sensible answer.
My reason for grooming myself to fastidious excess was the belief that the way I look naturally – which, incidentally, I had not seen for years – is repulsive. That is not a good reason. In an attempt to challenge myself, I wanted to see what would happen if I simply let my hair grow.
As I watched it return over time, I was astounded by my own discomfort. It was growing where it "shouldn't". Its expansion across my previously prim groin felt invasive. Like an uncontrollable, drunken female, it reeled across my body with unacceptable confidence.
My sense of conforming to what is considered acceptably feminine was lost, and I did not feel comfortable. I was breaking all of the rules set out for women of my generation, and I felt I could not be anything but ugly.
How odd, then, to encounter a man who neither fetishises nor vilifies a real female body as it is in its natural state, but simply accepts and rather likes it.
I'm no less uncomfortable, however. The fact that it took a man to inspire me to challenge myself in this way shows that I have, at least to some extent, been complicit in my own duping. I'm not the only one.

Stevie Blue,Check your facts. McCain and Obama are somewhere between a statistical dead heat and Obama winning by around 4 points. Obama's largest lead in any major poll is 7 points. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2... this election is still close. I'm pretty confused as to why and how. I think picking the right VP will be crucial, as both candidates have serious weaknesses. Nobody votes for a candidate becasue of their VP, but it is a way to send a message to the electorate, gives a lot of free publicity, and can allay the fears of the electorate. I'll be interested to see who the candidates pick. For Obama I would agree, like I have been for years before I even knew who was the nominee, that Bill Richardson is the best VP candidate for the Democrats, although Sam Nunn or Joe Bidden are good choices also. Obama needs to go for a conservative (not in the political sense) pick that above all will do no harm. Positively, the candidate should add some national security experience to the ticket without undermining the change component of his campaign. McCain is trickier. If he could get him to do it, Colin Powell would be the best pick. Other interesting picks could be Bobby Jindal (Governor of Lousiana and first Indian governor in American history), the Governor of Alaska, Michael Bloomberg, Condoleeza Rice, and Rob Portman. Each of these have huge flaws, but aside from Rob Portman, each one would change the dynamic of the campaign, which should be McCain's goal at this point.
I'm all for Bill Richardson. He comes across as both intelligent and funny, not to mention his long resume - something which Obama does not have.
And yeah..if nothing else, with Bill Richardson we will be sure to have some funny campaign commercials.
McCain would be best served by choosing a strong conservative hispanic. This would provide a reason for conservatives to vote for McCain, and would also allow him to focus on border security, while attracting the hispanic vote.
The other good option for McCain is to choose the Alaska's governor. She would appeal to disgruntled women, and also help McCain hold the conservative voter. Another advantage is her very strong appeal as a honorable, squeeky clean politician (she is famous for fighting corruption in Alaska).
Fellow political junkies, facts must be faced. Obama is 8-10 points ahead of McCain. Gas is $4. Everyone's worried about the economy - not McCain's strong suit. The media are so in love with Obama that they have not called him on his shameless, albeit politically savvy (Bill Clinton anyone??)movement to the centre. By election day Obama's position on Iraq will be close to McCain's. This is not going to be a tight election decided by one or two states. It is likely to be a blow-out. The only concern for Team Obama is complacency.
Laura Bush, McCain's VP.
I must say, it seems like for the evangelical vote electing a Mormon would be almost as bad as electing a Muslim.
Lexington must really want Obama to win if they are recommending Romney as McCain's VP pick. McCain needs to be bold and come out swinging if he wants to win.
I would think that the Obama ticket would gain needed credibility on its "post-partisan," bipartisan message with a VP pick who actually had shown some evidence of practicing it. (Because, no matter how one cuts it, Sen. Obama has been no great shakes at crossing party lines)As a Republican, I'd really like Bill Richardson.
How 'bout that handsome blue collar, white-trash-kissing, man with the 400USD haircut?
I too am curious to find out exactly what gregarious is a code word for. I feel that Bill Richardson acquitted himself very well in the leadership campaign and came across as far more authentic than most of the other candidates (notably Mitt, whose stiff phoney-ness chilled me). I suspect that Mr. Richardson is a formidable grass roots campaigner who would be an asset to the Dem. ticket.
Biden may shoot his mouth off, but even when he does, most of the time, people agree with him (example: calling Bush's appeasement charge "bullshit." He also is more down to earth than Obama and would probably have an easier time connecting to working class voters than a lot of other choices. Sure, Biden's a double-edged sword, but in this election year, when Obama's taken chances, he's been smart about it. If he picks Biden, you bet Biden'll be the right choice.
To VAReal,Yes, gregarious is a code word. i.e. Bill Clinton is a very very gregarious man. hint hint.
Evan Bayh would be an excellent choice on numerous levels. He brings extensive executive (two term governor) and foreign policy experience (two term senator and meber of Foreign Relations Committee) to the table and because of his moderate, middle-America reputation he helps with Obama's message of reaching out to voters across the political spectrum and of competing in all 50 states, including the "Red states." He also could help secure Indiana's 11 electoral votes, where according to several polls Obama is already competitive even without Bayh on the ticket. Bayh's popularity in Indiana and history of running campaigns and serving in statewide office for twenty years also provides spillover benefits in neighboring states like Ohio and Michigan, which are crucial to Obama's victory. Furthermore, Bayh, at age 52, brings a great deal of experience to the table without also stepping on the generational change appeal that Obama wants to project (like older politicians like Nunn, Biden, etc. would). And don't forget about the importance of the optics of selecting a running mate that looks like an all-American guy with a pretty, successful wife and twin 13-year-old sons for all the photo ops with the Obama family during the campaign. He was also Hillary's national campaign co-chairman, so his selection would also help bring any remaining Hillary holdouts to Obama's side. Bayh is also the type of politician that would play well in states like Virginia (where he went to law school and lived protions of his life) and other border states like Missouri and Iowa, as well as states like Montana, Colorado, and the Dakotas, because his brand of politics is very similar to the views of many people in those states. And lastly, since one of the tenets of picking a runing mate is to pick one that won't do harm, Bayh would be great because he's been in public life all his life (with his father having been a longtime US Senator and presidential candidate) and has a reputation for being squeaky clean. And while some people might say Bayh is boring, as your article does, that would not be a bad thing for Obama because he has all the charisma the campaign needs. Boring actually would probably appear more like experience, thoughtfulness and stability to many voters. So, in my opinion, Bayh is the best choice available to Obama.
To mel 1776: "spit" is the edited version of the quote, "piss" is what Cactus Jack actually said (as far as we know)
I honestly don't see why everyone keeps bringing up Mark Warner as a potential VP candidate. I have no issues with his qualifications. In any other year, he would certainly be a valuable choice by any Presidential candidate. But Mr. Warner is running for Senate for a seat that has perhaps the best chance in the nation of switching parties. Why on earth would the Democrats want to throw that chance away when there are so many other good choices for Mr. Obama.
Am truly confused by the author's claim that Bill Richardson is 'too gregarious' to be Veep. Over-qualified, perhaps, but how does a politician get to be 'too gregarious'? Is that a code for something else? Personally, I think he'd be a better choice than the Virginians mentioned, given that the Dem party would like to have a clear majority in the US Senate, and not take a chance on losing either Sen. Webb or Mark Warner (who is likely to be elected to the Senate in Nov.). Richardson's hispanic heritage could appeal to Latino voters who are lukewarm about Obama.
Armand is right that Bill Richardson deserves his own paragraph or his own article.A better article would be digging into the Obama strategy that has ceded Florida because of its Jewish population and ceded W. Virginia because of its bigoted population.Instead he is spending July 4th in Montana and hoping the black population will win him Georgia. This is disastrous. This year is handed on a silver plater to the Democrats. Focus on the economy, focus on Florida, Ohio and Penn and write your inaugural address.Forget Montana and Georgia!

The Middle Ages
Time-Hopping Romantic Comedy The Middle Ages
Full Price
Our Price
From A.R. Gurney, one of America's most prolific playwrights, comes The Middle Ages, a zany romantic comedy about a would-be free spirit whose turbulent individuality is in direct opposition to the stodgy world he's determined to escape. Set in the trophy room of a stuffy men's club, the play centers around the rebellious Barney, who's chafing against the narrow virtues of his family when he professes his undying love for Eleanor. Even Eleanor's marriage to Billy, Barney's brother, can't change how he feels. Over the course of 30 years, Barney and Eleanor's relationship evolves and, through a series of illuminating flashbacks, we learn that history only repeats itself when lessons are not learned.

The Pembrokeshire region
Wales is a place of natural beauty and diversity. The north east of Wales features some traditional seaside towns and spectacular views and is a great place to stay. The West coast has some great coastal walks and lovely sandy beaches to discover. Surfing and dog walking is popular in this area. The north west has highlights including Mount Snowdon and the Isle of Anglesey in this magical part of Wales; you will find a break here relaxing or if you fancy going for a climb then it would be adventurous. The south coast of Wales has sandy beaches but also the benefit of access some of Wales' largest cities including the capital Cardiff. The Brecon Beacons are full of steep mountain escarpments, waterfalls and spectacular views. In mid Wales you will begin to discover the appeal of the Valleys. And finally, Pembrokeshire has jagged coastlines, secret bays and some of the finest coastal towns line this area and you can see why people return every year to holiday there.
Cardigan is a town in the county of Ceredigion in Mid Wales. It is situated on the estuary of the River Teifi, at the point where Ceredigion meets Pembrokeshire. With just a short drive to the coast it's a great area to enjoy a holiday in Mid Wales.

Re: So What Are you Reading?: Generations
Sho wrote:
39 words and long? Oh you non-German-speaking run-on sentence virgins.
Again, "run-on sentence" does not mean "long sentence." As Wikipedia puts it, "A run-on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction." For instance, this is a run-on sentence:
It's cold in here, I should put on shoes.
This is not:
It is cold inside my apartment this morning due to the unseasonal lows we had overnight and the outdated temperature controls in my apartment building; therefore, my feet are chilly right now, and I would probably be more comfortable if I put on a pair of shoes.
The former is a run-on because the two clauses are improperly connected. It could be fixed in any of the following ways:
It's cold in here. I should put on shoes.
It's cold in here; I should put on shoes.
It's cold in here, so I should put on shoes.
The latter is a rambling and needlessly long sentence, but it isn't a run-on, because the independent clauses have conjunctions or correct punctuation connecting them.
Now pardon me while I put on my shoes. It really is pretty dang chilly in here.

Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
By night, Brian Johnson sings in the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. But by day, AC/DC's frontman drives balls to the wall.
When he was a young boy growing up in a working-class English town, Brian developed what would become a lifelong passion for cars, trolling junkyards and even pretending to drive the family car. From there, he steamed up the windows of his old Mini Cooper as a teenager, spent untold time in hygienically challenged tour buses, was chauffeured in leather-trimmed limos, and raced cars to a checkered flag.
Featuring guest stars Cliff Williams, Malcolm and Angus Young, and many, many others—even Arnold Schwarzenegger—Rockers and Rollers is a tribute to Brian's obsession with four wheels. By turns surprising, poignant, funny, and maybe a little bit bawdy, these are the stories of a man who drives as hard as he rocks.

Brian Johnson was born in Dunstan in Gateshead, England. After working various jobs in Tyneside and fronting local band Geordie, he joined AC/DC in 1980. He lives in Sarasota, Florida, and Rockers and Rollers is his first book.
Praise for Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir…
"It's surprisingly refreshing that Johnson's lively memoir basically has little to do with writing about life with AC/DC--it's really all about cars."
