Today, HP made several announcements regarding their Z line of Desktop and Mobile Workstations and Displays.
There's fast, then there's Solid State Drive (SSD) fast when it comes to storage solutions. It seems that every manufacturer claims that they have the best, fastest, and most stable solution, but for photo, video, and design applications, our definitions may seem a bit skewed. Enter the new CalDigit AV Pro external storage solution.
The ABEO Pro 283AGH is a versatile aluminum tripod from VANGUARD that allows you to place your camera in just about any shooting position you can imagine. This particular model also includes VANGUARD's GH-300T grip head with a convenient built-in shutter release.
The Rhino Slider Carbon is a camera slider based on two exposed carbon fiber rails capable of carrying loads of up to 10 lbs. The rails are mounted on a cleverly designed pair of feet that can be placed at any angle to accommodate for uneven terrain. Nothing on this slider requires you to use any tools. You can mount, remove, and fix everything by hand.
Shooting up to 45 bracketed images for HDR unattended, time-lapse, bulb ramping, focus stacking, and a hyperfocal distance calculator all wrapped in a device the size of an iPod—that's the Promote Control.
The action and adventure camera market is hot, with photographers and adventurers recording their exploits on ski slopes, at the race track, on the water, or in the urban jungle. The Drift HD Ghost is a solid camera packed with features, such as 1080p video, 11 megapixel still images, and HDMI connector.
The Edge 80 Optic is the newest addition to the Lensbaby Optic Swap System. It's a tilt-shift optic that, when tilted, creates a sharp area of focus through the photo that's bordered by a blur.
As many industries and consumers migrate toward cloud-based storage, there are still advantages to physical drive solutions that don't require any Internet connection, and many offer speeds that are simply not possible for most consumer connections. Factor in drive performance and the addition of an mSATA SSD card (sold separately), and you have the Drobo Mini.
The BALLED Pro lights are LEDs that output a fixed 125 lumen. They're suitable for object and food photography, can help with portrait shooting, and are great as a portable lighting kit when shooting video interviews.
The ring light look has been popular among fashion photographers for a while, but recently, it's been making its way into other types of photography. Flashpoint has released the most affordable option for a constant ring light, the 14″ Fluorescent Dimmable Ring Light.

What Women Want (2001)
Critics Consensus: Even though Gibson is a good sport in his role, What Women Want is a rather conventional, fluffy comedy-romance that doesn't make good use of its premise.

Critic Reviews for What Women Want
All Critics (143) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (65) | Rotten (56) | DVD (24)
It should be called What Moviegoers Want, because it appeals to both sexes, without pandering to or demeaning either of them.
It's a romantic comedy with a distinctly modern, delicate but sharp, satirical cutting edge.
For a while, anyway, it's very funny.
English's attempts to fit The Women into a modern setting are intelligent, but that, unfortunately, does not suffice, because the film is so limp in so many other ways.
Though it isn't quite Oscar material, Mel Gibson gives what may be the most entertaining big-star performance of its year.
What Women Want may seem like a one-note sitcom sort of movie, but it's funnier and a layer or two deeper than that.
Takes a promising idea and buries it under subplots and speeches that don't know when to quit.
...is there some clause written into [Helen Hunt's] contract that says she must have a scene in which she cries?
The premise for What Women Want sounds like, and is, the dumbest thing going.
Meyers finds exactly the right bubbly tone for the material then wisely steps out of the way to let Gibson and Hunt work their magic.
Lo que ellas quieren es una comedia ligera que narra lo que todos los hombres quisiramos saber: Qu rayos piensan las mujeres?
The women are basically innocent victims of male piggishness The men are all cads.
This brand of empty, mass-marketed entertainment is in need of a serious genre overhaul
Mel Gibson won't rest until you love him as much as he loves himself.
Nancy Meyers' wry What Women Want is all kinds of better than Nora Ephron's coincidence-laden Meg Ryan comedies...
certainly funny and entertaining, but it also strikes at some deeper truths about the contemporary state of male-female relationships.
This movie doesn't pretend to be substantial, but it's still just barely passable as light fare.
Un gui�n inteligente y honesto muestra como ambos lados del universo humano son totalmente diferentes entre s�, complementarios y sumamente complejos
Audience Reviews for What Women Want
Unintentionally uncomfortable film that asks we accept the premise that the only real conversation between the sexes can happen when pigs can fly...uhh, I mean when men can read women's minds. Nice chemistry between the leads but; Alan Alda: wasted. Delta Burke: wasted. Marisa Tomei: wasted.More
Super Reviewer

A clever romantic comedy in which we see Mel Gibson playing Nick Marshall, a chauvenistic advertising executive (a role that is probably close to his real life persona)who takes what he wants and has little regard for the people around him, notably the women. His life is turned upside down when his promotion is snatched from under him by the employment of Darcy Maguire, a smart, attractive female with a reputation that could rival his own.
While trying to adjust to the new woman rule at work, an accident leaves Nick with the abolity to read the minds of all the women he comes into contact with, equipping him with the tools to better control his family, sex and most importantly work life.
An interesting concept that is well executed with a good on screen chemistry between Gibson and Hunt. Another one that falls into the category of 'girls films for guys' and is worth a watch whatever your sex.
"If you know what women want, you can rule! "

I tend to agree with you, but have just grown to accept it. As an athiest, the idea of a higher power is absolutely absurd to me, and incredibly frustrating that people use it as some kind of a compass.
i still remember the day I officially realized I didnt believe it. I grew up with Jewish faith and my parents would send me to Jew sunday school, and one day they brought a halocaust survivor in to speak to a bunch of us 10 year olds. And he told some story about almost getting caught when he escaped Auschvitz and how that was some kind of miracle. And i remember thinking, wait a second, 6 million others died, why was saving YOU a miracle? It's not like you went on to do anything other than live a normal life.
But I'm hardly surprised by that stat. As someone said, if most people believe in God, then why shouldnt they believe a God affects the outcome of a football game. But I do question whether or not anyone on the Mane TRULY believes Boob Mojo or sitting in your lucky seat truly affects the outcome of games. I sincerely doubt it.
I have to wonder that, if society is still around in 5,000 years, if the idea of God is looked upon widely as absurd, much like today's society views Greek Gods.

PS3 Controller is old and less functional
Jet Set
Yeah, I saw this awhile ago. Funny how the wii has vibration, tilt sensing, and a light pointer. Shit, nintendo could do that, I would expect Sony to do the same or better. Oh well, rumor has it is that Sony doesn't have the rights to put the vibration feature in their controller. That sucks, how did they mess that one up.
although PS3 is still better than its competitors
although PS3 is still better than its competitors
Jet Set
The rumour you are looking for is the legal case they lost over the Force Feedback
Immersion Corporation owns various patents for haptic feedback technologies, including U.S. Patent 6,275,213 and U.S. Patent 6,424,333 covering vibration feedback in video game controllers. In February 2002, Immersion sued Sony and Microsoft for patent infringement of both patents because the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox both include vibration feedback in their respective controllers.4 (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070119/dannenberg_03.shtml#_ftn5) Microsoft settled with Immersion in July 2003,5 (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070119/dannenberg_03.shtml#_ftn6) and continues to include haptic (vibration) feedback in its controllers to this day.
From U.S. Patent 6,424,333
The Goliath that is Sony instead chose to continue litigation...to no avail. In March 2005 Sony was hit with a $90.7M judgment and a permanent injunction against the manufacture, use, sale, or import into the United States of the infringing Sony PlayStation system including PlayStation consoles, Dual Shock controllers, and the forty-seven games found by the jury to infringe Immersion's patents.6 (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070119/dannenberg_03.shtml#_ftn7)
While Sony could begrudgingly pay the judgment, given the PlayStations prominence in Sonys marketing and business efforts, the injunction is no laughing matter. The injunction was stayed pending appeal of the decision to the United States Federal Circuit, which hears all patent appeals. The oral arguments were heard October 3, 2006, and January 8, 2007; however, as of the date of this article, no decision has been issued.
Regardless of the final outcome of this case, Sony decided not to include vibration feedback in its controllers for the PlayStation 3 due to alleged incompatibilities between force feedback and the motion sensing technology used. However, given the still pending threat of a permanent injunction from the Immersion lawsuit, the Immersion patents are proof that a good patent can alter the course of business of even the largest competitor, and have earned a spot on the list.
although PS3 is still better than its competitors
Haha, wat defines better? LOL
Sony's architecture is shit. They are running like a Saturn right now.
Fanboys never die do they.
Ive been supporting Sony for a while now. I buy there products because I have had a good history with them. But Thats kinda weak theres no librating function on the pads, very poor thinking there.
Non of you can front on the Wii either, play it before you judge.
Homie kinda looks like a chubby Beavis...
But anyway, It's just the fact that Sony decided to scratch the feedback due to that lawsuit. Don't let them lie to you and say it would throw off the gyros, there's technology out there to counteract that and a few companies offered it to Sony and they declined. Cheap bastards.
Jet Set
In my eyes, throwing the Feedback off is more of a miss than having Gyro. I just can't imagine playing without it. It brings so much more realism to the game, And you will go Gyro with your controller wheter or not you have it in it.
Damn...I was rooting for Sony but I think the Xbox is gonna take over this go round. If the Xbox 360 can get a decent number of quality games and build up a library of diverse and overall quality titles like the Sony systems had...Microsoft will do very well for themselves.
^....for a little while. I still think Sony wins the marathon in the end. I like how Nintendo abandoned the kind of competition those two are having with each other for the sake of originality and carving their own niche
Jet Set
It's the Playstation brand that is as strong as Mickey Mouse and Nintendo at the start of the 90s.
Dr Zayus
I might buy a PS3 in a couple of years when the price drops (a lot) but this seems like a bit of a joke on their part. That and the huge thing with Blu-Ray, UMD, Viral Marketing and all that shit, they seem to be slipping a bit. I'm pretty happy with the Wii I bought anyway, so no dramas.
Jet Set
Some people are even saying that NO DISC is the future. Content delivery is going to be network based. Pretty much seems right in sight of the paperless office.
It seems a certain group of people took the libetry to help SONY with their Rumble. I so hope they would release it.
Sony on SplitFish Rumble: We Haven't Spoke
Sure, they could make it rumble -- but that doesn't mean talks are or will start.
By Luke Smith (http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5519593), 01/31/2007
http://media.1up.com/media?id=3181050 Yesterday's report (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3156806) on an Edmonton-based company, SplitFish, announcement that they have developed a way to have Sony's SIXAXIS controller rumble without infringing on Immersions patents (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151621). In our report we speculated that this didn't mean a deal between Sony Computer Entertainment and SplitFish was nigh, or even necessarily plausible -- the release was SplitFish announcing that they "had the solution" to what they believe are Sony's woes.
Speaking to 1UP on the SplitFish's rumble technology, Sony Computer Entertainment America said the following: "We have had no contact with this company and continue to have no plans to include FF [force feedback] in SIXAXIS."
SplitFish Could Make Sony's SIXAXIS Rumble
It's another 'if the price is right' situation.
By Luke Smith (http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5519593), 01/30/2007
http://media.1up.com/media?id=3180021 Immersion's well documented (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151621) legal mess with Sony Computer Entertainment regarding their rumble/force feedback technology still hangs in legal limbo. There may be another solution to Sony's rumble, if they want it, according to hardware manufacturers SplitFish.
The Edmonton-based company claims their new dynamic force feedback system will work in Sony's PlayStation 3 controller, SIXAXIS. SplitFish's PR recognizes that Immersion's patents required them to approach the problem of rumbling the SIXAXIS from a different angle (rather than infringing on Immersion's "rotating mass force" system).
Does this mean Sony's SIXAXIS is set to rumble sometime this year with help from SplitFish? Not quite. The press release, issued by SplitFish, has no ties to Sony (if they did, there would've been a joint release announcing the partnership and Sony released nothing this morning). SplitFish is announcing that they have the ability to make Sony's controller rumble without infringing on the existing Immersion patents. Should Sony decide that rumble technology is something they want to employ in a SIXAXIS revision, SplitFish may have a solution -- if Sony is willing to pay.
netscape check two
I didn't want to make a new thread about this question, but has anybody used a third party PS3 controller before? I wanted another controller, so I recently got one cheap off of Ebay from Hong Kong. It looks just about identical to the regular Sony controller. At first, I wondered why a USB flash drive(memory like stick) came with it. lol So do all third party PS3 controllers need this usb memory stick plugged into the PS3 in order for the controller to work?
buying third party pads is such a minefield of bad quality product. I always stick with the official pads just for peace of mind, except of course if it's something like an arcade stick.
netscape check two
Yeah, it was only about $18 and with free shipping, coming from Hong Kong to the US, so I don't expect it to last as long as my official controller. lol

Glen Tay
One of Perth's lovely red brick structures, this home features tall ceilings, deep baseboards and bright, airy rooms. The large covered porch is reminiscent of earlier times and is juxtaposed nicely with the interior's clean, modern decor. Striking wallpaper in the hallways, a spacious new kitchen featuring a cathedral ceiling and a gas fireplace in the dinette are eye-catching. A charming third-floor loft with views to the Tay and the wonderful staircase leading to it will delight the eye as well.
Nestled among the trees at the end of a gently curving walkway is this red-brick gem of 1890 vintage. The welcoming front porch leads to lovely rooms where natural light floods in through large windows. The distinctive double-brick construction speaks to the quality of the original home and a spacious two-level addition built two years ago is a natural complement. Works by a local artist add a touch of playfulness and pops of colour throughout the home.
This quintessential sturdy red brick farmhouse welcomes you with its expansive front porch and majestic maples. An inscription on the stones of the basement would indicate that the house, known locally as the Stafford House, was built in 1906 and was home to the Stafford family for several decades. Original flooring in the upstairs, a charming back staircase, and lovely wood trim speak to heritage craftsmanship. A recently renovated area, the spacious dining room and kitchen overlook the idyllic countryside.
The Chambers House
3248 Drummond Concession 2
966 Christie Lake Road
330 - 8th Concession
Documented as the Chambers House circa 1834, this home exudes an irresistible charm that comes from good bones and a true labour of love. Its restoration has been an exceptional effort to maintain the defining characteristics and charm that are representative of the Ontario Cottage style stone house. Preservation of wooden lintels and even charred stones from a long-ago fire are just some examples of how this home showcases a respect of this area's heritage and history.
Known as Miramar Farm for more than a century, this home with its Nepean sandstone exterior has an impressive presence with its grand columns at the front entrance, a second-storey balcony and original pine brackets adorning the roof lines. The beautiful curved dormer, which is eye-catching even from the road, is a rare feature in area homes. The date plate inscribed in the keystone over the balcony denotes 1862 as its vintage and its storied history of ownership includes prominent local names.
When new looks timeless is an apt description for this cozy timber frame home built three years ago by its owners, graduates of local heritage trades and masonry programs. Front landscaping done with multi-tiered stone, an exterior done with beautiful cedar shakes, ceilings which use log rafters re-purposed from old buildings and wood painstakingly tea-stained are just some of this home's special features. An impressive post-and-beam back portico has a view into the bucolic countryside.
The Yarker Barn House
312 - 8th Concession, Perth
20 Mill Street
Prepare to be wowed!! The soaring ceilings and massive hand-hewn timbers in this handsome post-and-beam home lend a whole new meaning to re-purposing history. The Yarker Barn House is so named for its origins as a barn in Yarker, Ontario, the bones of which highlight the workmanship and artistry that once went into many farm buildings. Now a warmly elegant home, it shows a respect for the preservation of our past while embracing the future.
This charming home with its welcoming yellow board and batten exterior boasts many original and interesting interior features. The tongue-and-groove pine doors with thumb latches, wood beams in the kitchen overlooking the Tay, and floors in the living room and upstairs are all original. Construction methods used would indicate the house was built in the early 1840s. The home has been lovingly maintained by the present owners for 37 years and renovations have remained true to its heritage.
CFUW could only hold these very successful annual major fundraisers with the participation of the community. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who have again supported this very worthy cause.
The major tour sponsor again this year is Coldwell Banker, Settlement Realty and our eight unique homes this year are individually sponsored by:
In addition, local florists and decorators give their time, talent and skills to decorating these homes beautifully in the Christmas spirit and they include:
Our media partners include EMC, Lake 88 and Valley Seaway Homes all of which assist greatly in promoting this amazing Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour.
Our generous Donors step up every year and contribute to our house fund and they include this year: Allan & Partners Inc., Bank of Montreal, Costello andCompany, Glen Tay Transportation, Kathrine Stolee M.D., Nephin & Winter and Tackaberry & Sons Construction.
Local restaurants and St James Anglican Church donate a percentage of their ticket-holder meal sales or donate gift certificates which are raffled off with the income donated to the house fund and this year all those participating are Bistro 54 Italiano, Coutts Coffee Shop, Maximilian Dining Lounge, Mex & Co., Michael's Table, O'Reilly's Ale House, Perth Golden Arrow Pub & Eatery, The Crossroads Tea Room, The Masonry Restaurant and Market, The Red Fox Tavern and The Stone Cellar.

Thank you to everyone!
Mark it on your calendar. Suggest to your friends that they do the same. The ninth annual C.F.U.W. Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour is scheduled for December 6 and 7, 2014 from 10:30am to 3:30pm daily.
Eight unique homes will be featured on the tour, some historic and some modern but all lovely. They will have been transformed for the holiday season by gifted local decorators, and will be sure to inspire your own decorating. While you are in historic Perth, you can also enjoy our annual Santa Claus Parade on the evening of December 6 and visit the dazzling display of Christmas trees in the Crystal Palace.
Local restaurants, as well as St. James Anglican Church, will offer specially priced lunches to ticket holders during the tour.
Informative bookmarks have been distributed to area businesses which provide more details about the tour. They will serve as reminders to invite your in town and out of town friends to join you for this annual Christmas Season kick-off in Perth. Many visitors have told us that they now make the tour weekend an annual event for reconnecting with family and friends.
Not only is the tour a fun way to see special homes, it also provides an opportunity to invest in the future since all proceeds are used to provide educational awards to deserving and needy women and young girls in their pursuit of advanced education. Proceeds also support literacy and other educational initiatives in area schools and libraries. Since the tour began, over $125,000. have been distributed in Lanark County.
The Canadian Federation of University Women is a voluntary non-profit organization committed to the improvement of the status of women, human rights and to the promotion of Education.
Once again we are aided in our efforts by substantial sponsorships from our local community and we sincerely thank all participants. .

RMA studies considered a broad array of mission architectures to find a promising approach. The resulting "point design" could then, as an option, be subjected to a full mission study.
The Mercury Lander mission concept study was performed by the Space Department of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Glenn Research Center.
The purpose of this RMA study was to determine the feasibility of a landed mission to Mercury. This mission concerned fundamental science questions that can be best, or only, addressed by conducting surface operations such as those for determining Mercury's bulk composition, the nature of the planet's magnetic field, surface history, internal structure, and surface-solar wind interactions.
Science Objectives
• Characterize major and minor elements of the chemical composition of Mercury's surface.
• Characterize the mineralogy and structural state of the materials at Mercury's surface.
• Investigate the magnitude and time dependence of Mercury's magnetic field, for at least one location on the surface.
• Characterize geologic activity (e.g., volcanism, tectonism, impact cratering) at scales ranging from regional to local.
• Determine the rotational state of Mercury.
Mission Design
The architecture for the flight system of the Mercury Lander was based on a three-stage concept consisting of a cruise stage, a braking stage, and a final descent and soft-landing stage. Because of the complexities associated with a landed mission to Mercury, analysis of scientific instrumentation was not included in this study, which focused instead on the viability of flight-system and landing elements.
The 2018-2023 time frame was chosen for launch, with landings planned approximately 5 years after launch; specific dates would be dependent on trajectory type. Landed operations would be modest in scope, with 22 contiguous days planned for science operations and a possible extension of 68 more days, depending on mission success.
Mission Challenges
Because a landed mission to Mercury is extremely challenging with respect to a launch energy and relative velocity, two trajectory approaches were considered:
• A ballistic/chemical approach fitting on the edge of Atlas V 551 constraints; and
• A low-thrust option using a solar-electric propulsion (SEP) cruise stage that would be dependent on high- temperature solar cell technology that has yet to be developed beyond the cell level.

Five Best Omakase Spots: Chef Chooses at Nobu, Blade, Macchialina, Naoe, Copperbox
Sometimes ordering can be difficult. We hate having to make the difficult decision between a delicious pasta or a cut of meat. We worry the table next to us will order exactly what we should have. Sometimes though, we're lucky enough to have a compatible dining companion who's willing to share a few plates, and a great server that works with us to create the perfect order.
Blade's Fontainebleau Roll
Placing that perfect order is rare, but it doesn't have to be. Options such as chef's selection, daily special or omakase (the Japanese version of a chef's selection which literally means to 'entrust') take away the pressures of choosing the best combination, and entrust this task to our chef. Often times, we'll get more for our money and are enabling our chefs to reach their full culinary potential -- they are the experts after all.
More and more, Miami chefs are asking diners to just trust them. When we got the news that the Fontainebleau's sushi bar, Blade, was adding an omakase dinner to its menu, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. This Short Order writer had spent the last few days binge watching David Chang's Mind of a Chef, and with close to eight hours of straight-up Asian-inspired food porn under my belt, I was ready to taste and explore whatever the chefs at the Blade had planned. What we got was eight courses of perfectly paired, fresh and thoughtful dishes starting with a ginger-infused tuna tartar served over crispy filo dough sticks that made a playful nod to spaghetti and meatballs.
Blade Tuna Tatar Blade's Sushi and Sashimi platter
It was clear right from the start that half the fun of omakase was interacting with our chef and witnessing his spontaneity first hand. The other half was the freshness. It was as if our fish had been swimming earlier that day -- in fact it had been. Dishes progressed from light to heavy and included asparagus wrapped in Madai, AKA fresh snapper topped with chimi-yuzo mash, mussels served in broth that took over an hour to make, sea salt cold-smoked salmon, a generous sushi and sashimi platter, and the popular Fontainebleau role. After almost three hours, we had tasted a vast selection of the offerings and were not the least bit envious of the gargantuan rolls being ordered by the rest of the restaurant that only demonstrated a fraction of what the chefs were capable of creating. The omakase dinner is available for $95 and is offered exclusively at Blade's intimate 10-seat sushi bar from 5 to 10 p.m.; reservations are required 24 hours in advance.
Blade's offering of an omakase dinner alongside a traditional menu is perfect for those who want the chef to take the wheel, but take comfort in knowing there a safety menu waiting in the wings. Diners looking to ease into trusting their chefs can check out Macchialina's five-course chef selection for $45 a person.

It's truly amazing the things that trigger inspiration for my blog…how about this one: neck hair! I was on my way to an event in NYC when I looked over at the cab driver and saw his neck hair was long enough to consider his hairstyle a mullet. *pause* Yep, that long. Now, I completely understand that neck hair can get long in-between haircuts, but allowing it to grow to the point where it's fighting your neck for space in your shirt is UNACCEPTABLE. Quick remedy, consider a tapered neckline. With this option, the back hairline will grow out in a manner that keeps the style looking…

It is roughly 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills but sprawls 90 km (56 mi) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south. Named in honour of Queen Adelaide who was born in Germany, the consort of King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for the only freely-settled British province in Australia. Colonel William Light, one of Adelaide's founding fathers, designed the city and chose its location close to the River Torrens in the area originally inhabited by Indigenous Australians of the Kaurna tribe. Light's design set out Adelaide in a grid layout, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parkland. Early Adelaide was shaped by religious freedom and a commitment to political progressivism and civil liberties, which led to world-first reforms. As South Australia's seat of government and commercial centre, Adelaide is the site of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street and in various districts of the metropolitan area. Today, Adelaide is noted for its many festivals and sporting events, its food, wine and culture, its long beachfronts, and its large defence and manufacturing sectors. It continues to rank highly as a livable city, being in the Top 10 in The Economist's World's Most Livable Cities index.[4] History Location of Adelaide within Australia Prior to British settlement, the Adelaide area was inhabited by the Kaurna Aboriginal nation (pronounced "Garner" or "Gowna"). Acknowledged Kaurna country comprised the Adelaide Plains and surrounding regions - 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adelaide was established as the centre of a planned colony of free immigrants, promising civil liberties and freedom from religious persecution, based upon the ideas of Edward Gibbon Wakefield. Wakefield had read accounts of Australian settlement[8] while in prison in London for attempting to abduct an heiress, and realised that the eastern colonies suffered from a lack of available labour, due to the practice of giving land grants to all arrivals.[9] Wakefield's idea was for the Government to survey and sell the land at a rate that would maintain land values high enough to be unaffordable for labourers and journeymen.[10] Funds raised from the sale of land would be used to bring out working class emigrants, who would have to work hard for the monied settlers to ever afford their own land.[11] As a result of this policy, Adelaide does not share the convict settlement history of other Australian cities like Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Hobart. Adelaide's early history was wrought by economic uncertainty and incompetent leadership. The first governor of South Australia, John Hindmarsh, clashed frequently with others, in particular with the Resident Commissioner, James Hurtle Fisher. The rural area surrounding Adelaide city was surveyed by Light in preparation to sell a total of over 405 km2 (156 sq mi) of land. Adelaide's early economy started to get on its feet in 1838 with the arrival of livestock from New South Wales and Tasmania. The wool industry served as an early basis for the South Australian economy. Light's survey was completed in this period, and land was promptly offered to sale to early colonists. Wheat farms ranged from Encounter Bay in the south to Clare in the north by 1860. Governor Gawler took over from Hindmarsh in late 1838 and promptly oversaw construction of a governor's house, Adelaide Gaol, police barracks, hospital, and customs house and a wharf at Port Adelaide. In addition, houses for public officials and missionaries, and outstations for police and surveyors were also constructed during Gawler's governorship. Adelaide had also become economically selfsufficient during this period, but at heavy cost: the colony was heavily in debt and relied on bail-outs from London to stay afloat. Gawler was recalled and replaced by Governor Grey in 1841. Grey slashed public expenditure against heavy opposition, although its impact was negligible at this point: Adelaide in 1839, looking south-east from North Terrace from Cape Jervis in the south, and to Port Wakefield in the north. Among their unique customs were burn-offs (controlled bushfires) in the Adelaide Hills which the early Europeans spotted before the Kaurna people were pushed out by settlement. By 1852, the total population (by census count) of the Kaurna was 650 in the Adelaide region and steadily decreasing. During the winter months, they moved into the Adelaide Hills for better shelter and firewood.[5][6] South Australia was officially settled as a new British province on 28 December 1836, near the The Old Gum Tree in what is now the suburb of Glenelg North. This day is now commemorated as Proclamation Day in South Australia. The site of the colony's capital city was surveyed and laid out by Colonel William Light, the first Surveyor-General of South Australia, through the design made by the architect George Strickland Kingston.[7] In 1823, Light had fondly written of the Sicilian city of Catania: "The two principal streets cross each other at right angles in the square in the direction of north and south and east and west. They are wide and spacious and about a mile long", and this became the basis for the plan of Adelaide. Light chose, not without opposition, a site on rising ground close to the River Torrens, which became the chief early water supply for the fledgling colony. "Light's Vision", as it has been termed, has meant that the initial design of Adelaide required little modification as the city grew and prospered. Usually in an older city it would be necessary to accommodate larger roads and add parks, whereas Adelaide had them from the start. Adelaide 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia silver was discovered in Glen Osmond that year, agricultural industries were well underway, and other mines sprung up all over the state, aiding Adelaide's commercial development. The city exported meat, wool, wine, fruit and wheat by the time Grey left in 1845, contrasting with a low point in 1842 when one-third of Adelaide houses were abandoned. Adelaide one year of deficit was recorded, but the price paid was retrenchments and lean public spending. Wine and copper were the only industries not to suffer a downturn. Electric street lighting was introduced in 1900 and electric trams were transporting passengers in 1909. 28,000 men were sent to fight in World War I. Adelaide enjoyed a postwar boom but, with the return of droughts, entered the depression of the 1930s, later returning to prosperity under strong government leadership. Secondary industries helped reduce the state's dependence on primary industries. The 1933 census recorded the state population at 580,949, less of an increase than other states due to the state's economic limitations. World War II brought industrial stimulus and diversification to Adelaide under the Playford Government, which advocated Adelaide as a safe place for manufacturing due to its less vulnerable location. 70,000 men and women enlisted and shipbuilding was expanded at the nearby port of Whyalla. The South Australian Government in this period built on former wartime manufacturing industries. International manufacturers like General Motors Holden and Chrysler[13] made use of these factories around Adelaide, completing its transformation from an agricultural service centre to a twentieth-century city. A pipeline from Mannum brought River Murray water to Adelaide in 1954 and an airport opened at West Beach in 1955. An assisted migration scheme brought 215,000 immigrants of many nationalities, mainly European, to South Australia between 1947 and 1973. The Dunstan Governments of the 1970s saw something of an Adelaide 'cultural revival' - establishing a wide array of social reforms and overseeing the city becoming a centre of the arts, building upon the biennial "Adelaide Festival of Arts" which commenced in 1960. Adelaide hosted the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix between 1985 and 1996 on a street circuit in the city's east parklands, before losing it to Melbourne.[14] The 1991 State Bank collapse plunged both Adelaide and South Australia into economic recession, and its effects lasted until 2004, when ratings agency Standard & Poor's reinstated South Australia's AAA credit rating.[15] Recent years have seen the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar race make use of sections of the former Formula One circuit. Adelaide General Post Office in 1950 Trade links with the rest of the Australian states were established with the Murray River being successfully navigated in 1853 by Francis Cadell, an Adelaide resident. South Australia became a self-governing colony in 1856 with the ratification of a new constitution by the British parliament. Secret ballots were introduced, and a bicameral parliament was elected on 9 March 1857, by which time 109,917 people lived in the province.[12] In 1860 the Thorndon Park reservoir was opened, finally providing an alternative water source to the turbid River Torrens. In 1867 gas street lighting was implemented, the University of Adelaide was founded in 1874, the South Australian Art Gallery opened in 1881 and the Happy Valley Reservoir opened in 1896. In the 1890s Australia was affected by a severe economic depression, ending a hectic era of land booms and tumultuous expansionism. Financial institutions in Melbourne and banks in Sydney closed. The national fertility rate fell and immigration was reduced to a trickle. The value of South Australia's exports nearly halved. Drought and poor harvests from 1884 compounded the problems, with some families leaving for Western Australia. Adelaide was not as badly hit as the larger gold-rush cities of Sydney and Melbourne, and silver and lead discoveries at Broken Hill provided some relief. Only 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adelaide Adelaide Metropolitan Region has a total land area of 870 km2 (340 sq mi), and is at an average elevation of 50 metres (160 ft) above sea level. Mount Lofty is located east of the Adelaide metropolitan region in the Adelaide Hills at an elevation of 727 metres (2,390 ft). It is the tallest point of the city and in the state south of Burra. Much of Adelaide was bushland before British settlement, with some variation swamps and marshlands were prevalent around the coast. However, much of the original vegetation has been cleared with what is left to be found in reserves such as the Cleland Conservation Park and Belair National Park. A number of creeks and rivers flow through the Adelaide region. The largest are the Torrens and Onkaparinga catchments. Adelaide relies on its many reservoirs for water supply, with Mount Bold Reservoir and Happy Valley Reservoir together supplying around 50% of Adelaide's requirements. Geography Urban layout Adelaide's metropolitan area Adelaide is located north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges. The city stretches 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km (56 mi) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the 1888 Map of Adelaide, showing the gradual development of its urban layout Adelaide is a planned city, designed by the first surveyor-general of South Australia, 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Colonel William Light. His plan, now known as Light's Vision, arranged Adelaide in a grid, with five squares in the inner City of Adelaide and a ring of parks known as the Adelaide Parklands surrounding it. Light's design was initially unpopular with the early settlers, as well as South Australia's first Governor, John Hindmarsh. Light persisted with his design against this initial opposition. The benefits of Light's design are numerous; Adelaide has had wide multi-lane roads from its beginning, an easily-navigable grid layout and a beautiful green ring around the city centre. There are two sets of 'ring roads' in Adelaide that have resulted from the original design. The inner ring route borders the parklands and the outer route completely bypasses the inner city through (in clockwise order) Grand Junction Road, Hampstead Road, Ascot Avenue, Portrush Road, Cross Road and South Road.[16] Urban expansion has to some extent outgrown Light's original plan. Numerous satellite cities were built in the later half of the 20th century, notably Salisbury and Elizabeth on the city's northern fringes, which have now been enveloped by its urban sprawl. New developments in the Adelaide Hills region facilitated the construction of the South Eastern Freeway to cope with growth. Similarly, the booming development in Adelaide's South made the construction of the Southern Expressway a necessity. New roads are not the only transport infrastructure developed to cope with the urban growth, however. The O-Bahn Busway is an example of a unique solution to Tea Tree Gully's transport woes in the 1980s.[17] The development of the nearby suburb of Golden Grove in the late 1980s is possibly an example of well-thought-out urban planning. The newer urban areas as a whole, however, are not as integrated into the urban layout as much as older areas, and therefore place more stress on Adelaide's transportation system – although not on a level comparable with Melbourne or Sydney. In the 1960s a Metropolitan Adelaide Transport Study Plan was proposed in order to cater for the future growth of the city. The plan involved the construction of freeways, expressways and the upgrade of certain aspects of the public transport system. The then premier Steele Hall approved many parts of the plan and the government went as far as purchasing land for the project. The later government elected under Don Dunstan Adelaide shelved the plan, but allowed the purchased land to remain vacant, should the future need for freeways arise. Some parts of this land have been utilised for transport (eg the OBahn Busway) while other parts have been progressively subdivided for residential use. In 2008 the SA Government announced plans for a network of transport-oriented developments across the Adelaide metropolitan area and purchased a 10 hectare industrial site at Bowden for $52.5 million as the first of these developments.[18][19] Climate Climate chart for Adelaide J F M A M J J A S O N D 20 13 25 40 60 81 75 67 60 46 32 28 29 29 26 23 19 16 15 17 19 22 25 27 17 17 15 12 10 8 7 8 10 11 14 16 average temperatures in °C precipitation totals in mm source: Bureau of Meteorology[20] Imperial conversion J F M A M J J A S O N D 0.8 0.5 1 1.6 2.4 3.2 2.9 2.6 2.4 1.8 1.3 1.1 84 85 79 73 66 61 60 62 66 71 77 81 63 63 59 54 50 47 45 47 49 53 57 60 average temperatures in °F precipitation totals in inches Adelaide has a Mediterranean climate, where most of the rain falls in the winter months. Of the Australian capital cities, Adelaide is the driest. Rainfall is unreliable, light and infrequent throughout summer. In contrast, the winter has fairly reliable rainfall with June being the wettest month of the year, averaging around 80 mm. Frosts are rare, with the most notable occurrences having occurred in July 1908 and July 1982. There is usually no appreciable snowfall, except at Mount Lofty and some places in the Adelaide Hills. Governance The Adelaide metropolitan area is divided between eighteen local government areas, including, at its centre, the City of Adelaide, 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adelaide Parliament House, Adelaide on North Terrace houses the Parliament of South Australia which administers the CBD, North Adelaide, and the surrounding Adelaide Parklands. It is the oldest municipal authority in Australia and was established in 1840, when Adelaide and Australia's first mayor, James Hurtle Fisher, was elected. From 1919 onwards, the City has had a Lord Mayor, the current being Lord Mayor Michael Harbison. Adelaide, as the capital of South Australia, is the seat of the Government of South Australia. As Adelaide is South Australia's capital and most populous city, the State Government co-operates extensively with the City of Adelaide. In 2006, the Ministry for the City of Adelaide was created to facilitate the state government's collaboration with the Adelaide City Council and the Lord Mayor to improve Adelaide's image. The state parliament's Capital City Committee[21] is also involved in the governance of the City of Adelaide, being primarily concerned with the planning of Adelaide's urban development and growth. Chinatown on Moonta St in the Market precinct. Demography As of 2006 Census, Adelaide had a metropolitan population of more than 1,105,839, making it Australia's fifth largest city. In the 2002-2003 period the population grew by 0.6%, while the national average was 1.2%. Some 70.3% of the population of South Australia are residents of the Adelaide metropolitan area, making South Australia one of the most centralised states. Major areas of population growth in recent years were in outer suburbs such as Mawson Lakes and Golden Grove. Adelaide's inhabitants occupy 341,227 houses, 54,826 semi-detached, row terrace or One dot represents 100 persons born in the UK (dark blue), Greece (light blue), China (red), Italy (light green), Germany (orange), Lebanon (purple) and Vietnam (yellow), based on 2006 Census town houses and 49,327 flats, units or apartments. Persons of high-income are concentrated on the coastal suburbs (such as Brighton and 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Glenelg), eastern suburbs (such as Wattle Park, Kensington Gardens, St. Peters, Medindie and College Park) and inner south-eastern suburbs (such as Waterfall Gully and Unley). Almost a fifth (17.9%) of the population had university qualifications. The number of Adelaideans with vocational qualifications (such as tradespersons) fell from 62.1% of the labour force in the 1991 census to 52.4% in the 2001 census. Over half of the population identifies as Christian, with the largest denominations being Catholic (22.1%), Anglican (14.0%), Uniting Church (8.4%) and Eastern Orthodox (3.8%). Approximately 24% of the population expressed no religious affiliation, compared with the national average of 18.7%. The large number of churches in Adelaide has led the city to develop the nickname City of Churches[22]. Overall, Adelaide is ageing more rapidly than other Australian capital cities. Just over a quarter (26.7%) of Adelaide's population is aged 55 years or older, in comparison to the national average of 24.3%. Adelaide has the lowest number of children (under-15 year olds), which composed 17.8% of the population, compared to the national average of 19.8%. Overseas-born Adelaideans composed 23.7% (262,367) of the total population. The north-western suburbs (such as Woodville and Athol Park) and suburbs close to the CBD have a higher ratio of overseas-born residents. The five largest groups of overseas-born were from England (7.3%), Italy (1.9%), Scotland (1.0%), Vietnam (0.9%), and Greece (0.9%). The most-spoken languages other than English were Italian (3.0%), Greek (2.2%), Vietnamese (1.2%), Mandarin (0.8%), and Cantonese (0.7%).[23] Adelaide Adelaide Convention Centre, situated next to the River Torrens over 15% per year since 1990. The electronics industry in Adelaide employs over 13,000 people, which is more than the automotive industry. Almost half of all cars produced in Australia are made in Adelaide.[24] The global media conglomerate News Corporation was founded in and until 2004 incorporated in Adelaide and is still considered its 'spiritual' home by Rupert Murdoch. Australia's largest oil company, Santos (South Australia Northern Territory Oil Search), prominent South Australian brewery, Coopers, major national retailer Harris Scarfe and Australia's second largest listed investment company Argo Investments Limited call Adelaide their home. The collapse of the State Bank in 1992 resulted in large levels of state debt (as much as A$4 billion). The collapse had meant that successive governments had enacted lean budgets, cutting spending, which had been a setback to the further development of the city and state. The debt has recently been reduced with the State Government once again receiving a AAA+ Credit Rating.[25] The South Australian economy, very closely tied to Adelaide's, still enjoys a trade surplus and has higher per capita growth than Australia as a whole.[26] Economy Adelaide's economy is primarily based around manufacturing, defence technology and research, commodity export and corresponding service industries. It has large manufacturing, defence and research zones. They contain car manufacturing plants for General Motors Holden, and plants that produce electronic systems that are sold worldwide for applications in medical, communications, defence, automotive, food and wine processing and industrial sectors. The revenue of Adelaide's electronics industry has grown at Defence industry Adelaide is home to a large proportion of Australia's defence industries, which contribute over AU$1 billion to South Australia's Gross State Product. 70% of Australian defence companies are located in Adelaide. The principal government military research institution, the Defence Science and Technology 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adelaide disproportionately higher than the other regions of Adelaide at 8.3%, while the East and South are lower than the Adelaide average at 4.9% and 5.0% respectively.[30] Education The Adelaide-built Collins class submarine HMAS Rankin Organisation, and other defence technology organisations such as BAE Systems Australia and RLM, are located north of Salisbury and west of Elizabeth in an area now called "Edinburgh Parks", near RAAF Base Edinburgh. Others, such as Saab Systems, are located in or near Technology Park. The Australian Submarine Corporation, based in the industrial suburb of Osborne, was charged with constructing Australia's Collins class submarines[27] and more recently the AU$6 billion contract to construct the Royal Australian Navy's new air-warfare destroyers.[28] Mitchell Building, University of Adelaide, from North Terrace. Education forms an increasingly important part of the city's economy, with the South Australian Government and educational institutions attempting to position Adelaide as "Australia's education hub" and marketing it as a "Learning City".[31] The number of international students studying in Adelaide has increased rapidly in recent years to 23,300, of which 2,380 are secondary school students.[31] In addition to the city's existing institutions, foreign institutions have been attracted to set up campuses in order to increase its attractiveness as an education hub.[32] Employment statistics There are 466,829 employed people in Adelaide, with 62.3% full-time and 35.1% part-time. In recent years there has been a growing trend towards part-time (which includes casual) employment, increasing from only 11.6% of the workplace in 1991, to over a third today. 15% of workers are employed in manufacturing, 5% in construction, 15% in retail trade, 11% in business services, 7% in education and 12% in health and community services. The median weekly individual income for people aged 15 years and over is $447 per week, compared with $466 nationally. The median family income is $1,137 per week, compared with $1,171 nationally.[23] Adelaide's housing and living costs are substantially lower than that of other Australian cities, with housing being notably cheaper. The median Adelaide house price is half that of Sydney and two-thirds that of Melbourne. The 3 month trend unemployment rate to March 2007 was 6.2%.[29] The Northern suburbs' unemployment rate is View over the north ridge and central part of the Flinders University's hilltop campus, taken from the south ridge. 8 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adelaide University followed suit in 2007 and established a postgraduate campus in Victoria Square alongside the Heinz College. Another leading institution, the University College London, will establish its first international campus alongside Carnegie Mellon and Cranfield University in 2009, with postgraduate courses commencing in 2010.[32] The two hundred year-old Royal Institution of Great Britain is also establishing an Australian counterpart in Adelaide which will formally open in 2009.[37] At the level of primary and secondary education, there are two systems of school education. There is a public system operated by the South Australian Government and a private system of independent and Catholic schools. All schools provide education under the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or, to a lesser extent, the International Baccalaureate (IB), with Adelaide having the highest number of IB schools in Australia. One notable secondary school is St Peter's College, which has educated more Nobel laureates than any other school in Australia, and is tied for third internationally behind New York City's Bronx High School of Science and Stuyvesant High School. The Hawke Building, part of the UniSA, City West Campus The tertiary education system in Adelaide is extensive. There are several institutes of TAFE South Australia throughout the city which provide vocational education and training. Additionally, there are three public and two private universities, all ranked within the world's top 400 in the Times Higher Education magazine, (formerly The Times Higher Education Supplement).[33] The University of Adelaide, with 20,478 students,[34] is Australia's third-oldest and a member of the leading Group of Eight. It has five campuses throughout the state, including two in the city-centre, and also has a campus in Singapore. The University of South Australia, with 36,000 students,[35] has two North Terrace campuses, three other campuses in the metropolitan area and campuses at Whyalla and Mt Gambier. Flinders University, with 16,237 students,[36] is located in the southern suburb of Bedford Park, alongside the Flinders Medical Centre. Carnegie Mellon became the first foreign university to open in Australia when it established two postgraduate campuses in the citycentre in 2006: the Heinz College Australia in Victoria Square and the Entertainment Technology Centre in Light Square. Cranfield Culture Sideshow Alley at the Royal Adelaide Show circa 2005. While established as a British province, Adelaide attracted immigrants from many non-English speaking countries early-on, including German and other European non-conformists escaping religious persecution. The first German Lutherans arrived in 1838 bringing with them the vine cuttings that they used to found the acclaimed wineries of the Barossa Valley. 9 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the Second World War, Italians, Greeks, Dutch, Poles and many other European nationalities came to make a new start. An influx of Asian immigrants following the Vietnam War, and more recently many African refugees, have added to Adelaide's multicultural mix. These new arrivals have blended with dominant Anglo-Saxon culture to form a rich and diverse cuisine and vibrant restaurant culture. Adelaide North Terrace. The Art Gallery of South Australia, with around 35,000 works, holds Australia's second largest state-based collection. Situated adjacent are the South Australian Museum and State Library of South Australia, while the Adelaide Botanic Garden, National Wine Centre and Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute are located nearby in the East End of the city. The Adelaide Festival Centre, on the banks of the Torrens, is the focal point for much of the cultural activity in the city and home to the State Theatre Company of South Australia, with other venues including the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and the city's many smaller theatres, pubs and cabaret bars. The music of Adelaide has produced various musical groups and individuals who have achieved both national and worldwide fame. This includes the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, the Adelaide Youth Orchestra, rock bands: The Angels, Cold Chisel, The Superjesus and Wolf & Cub, roots/blues group The Audreys, internationally acclaimed metal acts I Killed The Prom Queen and Double Dragon (band) and popular Australian hip-hop outfit Hilltop Hoods.

American musician Ben Folds used to base himself in Adelaide when he was married to Australian Frally Hynes. In addition to its own WOMADelaide, Adelaide attracts several touring music festivals, including the Big Day Out and the St Jerome's Laneway Festival. Arts and entertainment Adelaide's arts scene flourished in the 1970s under the leadership of premier Don Dunstan, removing some of the more puritanical restrictions on cultural activities then prevalent around Australia. It was at this time that the renowned Adelaide Festival of Arts and Fringe Festival were established, and over time they have spawned sister events including the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Adelaide Film Festival, Adelaide Festival of Ideas, Adelaide Writers' Week and WOMADelaide held predominately in the autumnal month of March. Other festivals include FEAST, one of Australia's four main queer culture celebrations; Tasting Australia, a biennual food and wine affair; and the Royal Adelaide Show, an annual agricultural and state fair.

Adelaide is also home to the Adelaide Christmas Pageant, the world's largest Christmas parade. Media Newspapers in Adelaide are dominated by News Corporation publications — Adelaide being the birthplace of News Corporation itself. The only South Australian daily newspaper is The Advertiser, published by News Corporation six days a week, while the Sunday paper is the Sunday Mail.

All of the five Australian national television networks broadcast both analogue PAL and high definition digital services in Adelaide. They share three transmission towers on the ridge near the summit of Mount Lofty. The two government-funded stations are ABC TV and SBS TV. The Seven Network and Network Ten both own their Adelaide stations (SAS-7 and ADS-10 respectively). Adelaide's NWS-9 is affiliated with the Nine Network and was owned by Southern Cross Broadcasting until the sale to WIN Corporation in May 2007. Adelaide also has a community television station, C31 Adelaide. The Foxtel pay TV service is available as cable television in a few areas, and as satellite television to the entire metropolitan area. It is resold by a number of other brands, mostly telephone companies.

Adelaide's professional Association football team, Adelaide United, play in the ALeague. Founded in 2003, their home ground is Hindmarsh Stadium, which has a capacity of 16,500 and is one of the few purpose-built soccer stadia in Australia. In 2008 the Cronulla Sharks, an Australian NRL franchise, and the South Australian Government announced a 3 year contract in which the Sharks will play a single home game each season at Hindmarsh Stadium.

The Australian Grand Prix for Formula 1 racing was hosted by Adelaide from 1985 to 1995 on a street circuit in the city's eastern parklands.[14] The Grand Prix became a source of pride and losing the event to Melbourne in a surprise announcement left a void that has since been filled with the highly successful Clipsal 500 for V8 Supercar racing, held on a modified version of the same Sport The main sports played professionally in Adelaide are Australian rules football, Association football and cricket. Adelaide is the home of two Australian Football League teams: the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power. A local Australian rules football league, the SANFL, is made up of nine teams from around Adelaide. Most large sporting events take place at either AAMI Stadium or the historic Adelaide Oval, home of the Southern Redbacks cricket 11 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia street circuit. The Classic Adelaide, a rally of classic sporting vehicles, is also held in the city and its surrounds. The World Solar Challenge race attracts teams from around the world, most of which are fielded by universities or corporations although some are fielded by high schools. The race has a 20-year history spanning nine races, with the inaugural event taking place in 1987. Adelaide 2009, at the former governor's request, the state government chose to drop this name and instead transfer the Royal Adelaide Hospital name to the proposed facility. In addition, major upgrades would see the Flinders Medical Centre become the primary centre for health care for the southern suburbs, while upgrades for the Lyell McEwin Health Service in Elizabeth would see that become the centre for the northern suburbs. The trio of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the Modbury Hospital and the Noarlunga Hospital would become specialist elective surgery centres. The Repatriation General Hospital would also expand its range of specialty areas beyond veterans' health to incorporate stroke, orthopaedic rehabilitation and aged care.[39] With the "Global Financial Crisis" of 2008, it remains to be seen if and how these initiatives will proceed. 180-degree panoramic view of the Southern Plaza with Parliament House, City Sign (foreground), Adelaide Railway Station/Casino/Hyatt Hotel and Festival Centre shown left to right. Infrastructure Health Adelaide's first hospital is the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH). Founded in 1840, it is one of the major hospitals in Adelaide and is a teaching hospital of the University of Adelaide. It has a capacity of 705 beds. Two other RAH campuses which specialise in specific patient services are located in the suburbs of Adelaide - the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre in Northfield, and the Glenside Campus Mental Health Service. Three other large hospitals in the Adelaide area are: the Women's and Children's Hospital (305 beds), which is located on King William Road in North Adelaide; the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (340 beds), located in Woodville and the Flinders Medical Centre (500 beds), which is located in Bedford Park. These hospitals are also associated with medical schools - the Women's and Children's and the Queen Elizabeth with the University of Adelaide and the Flinders Medical Centre with Flinders University. In June 2007 the State Government announced a series of overhauls to the health sector that would see a new hospital constructed on railyards at the west end of the city, to replace the Royal Adelaide Hospital located at the east end of the city. Should it go ahead, the new 800 bed hospital would cost AU$1.7bn and be named the "Marjorie Jackson-Nelson Hospital" after the former Governor of South Australia.[38] However, in Transport Tram at new City West terminus, en route to Glenelg. Being centrally located on the Australian mainland, Adelaide forms a strategic transport hub for east-west and north-south routes. The city itself has a metropolitanwide public transport system, which is managed by and known as the Adelaide Metro. The Adelaide Metro consists of a contracted bus system including the O-Bahn Busway, metropolitan railways, and the Adelaide-Glenelg Tram, which has also now been extended as a metropolitan tram through the city centre. Road transport in Adelaide has historically been comparatively easier than many of the other Australian cities, with a welldefined city layout and wide multiple-lane roads from the beginning of its development. Historically, Adelaide was known as a 12 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "twenty-minute city", with commuters having been able to travel from metropolitan outskirts to the city proper in roughly twenty minutes. However, these roads are now often considered inadequate to cope with Adelaide's growing road traffic.[40] Adelaide has one freeway and two expressways; the South Eastern Freeway, connecting the city with the Adelaide Hills and beyond to Murray Bridge, the Port River Expressway connecting Port Adelaide and Outer Harbor to interstate routes and the Southern Expressway, an interchangeable one-way road connecting the southern suburbs with the city proper. The Gawler Bypass skirting Gawler is another expressway style, high speed inter-urban corridor. A third expressway, the Northern Expressway (formerly the Sturt Highway extension), a northern suburbs bypass route—connecting the Gawler Bypass to Port Wakefield Road—started construction in 2008. There are also plans for major upgrades to busy sections of South Road, including road widening and underpasses of Anzac Highway (under construction), Grange Road, Port Road and the Outer Harbour Railway Line, during the first stage.[41] Adelaide International Airport, located in Adelaide's west, is Australia's newest and most advanced airport terminal and is designed to serve in excess of 6.3 million passengers annually. The new dual international/ domestic terminal replaces the old and ageing terminals known locally as the 'tin sheds', and incorporates glass aerobridges and the ability to cater for the new Airbus A380.[42] In March 2007, Adelaide Airport was rated the world's second best airport in the 5-15 million passengers category at the Airports Council International (ACI) 2006 awards in Dubai.[43] The airport is designed to handle 27 aircraft simultaneously and is capable of processing 3,000 passengers per hour. Unusually for a major city, it is located only about seven kilometres (4.4 mi) from the CBD. Parafield Airport is Adelaide's second airport, mostly used for general aviation. It is located eighteen kilometres (11.2 mi) north of the CBD. Adelaide Aerial view of Happy Valley Reservoir in early 2007 and retail sales of gas and electricity. Some of the major companies are: TRUenergy, which generates electricity; ElectraNet, which transmits electricity from the generators to the distribution network; ETSA Utilities (formerly a government-owned company which was privatised by the Olsen Government in the 1990s), which distributes electricity from transmission companies to end users; and AGL Energy, which retails gas and electricity.[44] Substantial investment has been made in maintenance and reinforcement of the electricity supply network to provide continued reliability of supply. Adelaide derives most of its electricity from a gas-fired plant operated by AGL Energy at Torrens Island, with more coming from power stations at Port Augusta and Pelican Point, and from connections to the national grid. Gas is mainly supplied from the Moomba Gas Processing Plant in the Cooper Basin, and is piped to Adelaide and other areas within the state.[45] A small part of supply also comes from wind turbines at Sellicks Hill, and a trial of more turbines on city buildings is underway.[46] Adelaide's water supply is gained from its reservoirs: Mount Bold, Happy Valley, Myponga, Millbrook, Hope Valley, Little Para and South Para. Further water demands result in the pumping of water from the River Murray. The provision of water services is by the government-owned SA Water.

Ready for some new Angry Birds Space levels? Rovio has released an update for the game in the Google Play Store called "Pig Dipper." An obvious play on the name of the most popular constellation there is, this update brings the birds and pigs to an entirely new galaxy filled with water-filled planets. Strange aquatic life — like over-sized jelly fish bug-eyed ducks — roam the lands, and the pigs won't have to worry about their inability to swim as they have boats to keep them afloat.
The new levels introduce a new element of physics for those looking to foil the plans of these evil pigs in some creative ways. The update also includes three new power-ups: Flock of Birds, Space Egg and Pig Puffer. We imagine that last one might inflate a pig to the point that it explodes, but whether or not delicious bacon, ribs and pork chops fly everywhere remains to be seen. Rovio also makes sure to note that the Ice Bird and Pig Puffer react quite interestingly when they hit water, so give it a shot and see what happens
You can find a free version of Angry Birds Space in the Google Play Store, of course, but don't go into that expecting not to run into some ads. For an ad-free version that costs $.99 be sure to park it right here.

Many believe they are alone in this world. Even with family, numerous friends and instant phone/internet connection to a world with over 7 billion people; they still feel alone.
One day I awoke to the voices, sight, smells and evidence of a Higher Power/Creator I had felt around me since age five. I heard and felt I was not alone and to honor my divine gifts. Find your joy Michelle, I, Creator, will remind you I was told. Soul Fragments are the energetic make up of you, your company, your family, combined. How we are composed is how we create in the world. My specialty is reading your energetic composition.
For some, having these gifts might seem terrifying. For me it was finally the confirmation that prompted a career path blending business, science, and honor to mankind. It is the study of the realms of conciousness that align the human soul to a Higher Power/ Creator.
Information from that which many call a Higher Power/ Creator can come in a variety of directions. I am able to communicate, feel and see this Energy in a room, just like if you and I were sitting and talking at a coffee shop. Direct, clear and concise. Loving, supportive and accurate; with a view more expansive then what makes sense to me at times.
We all have our journey of discovery to Truth. My petri dish is filled with the agar of life. Welcome to a world in which you are supported and loved. A world in which the science of the human spirit, a lifelong quest for many, may finally make sense.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your journey. You are why I do what I do.
Psychic Medium/Medical Intuitive/Energy Practitioner
