Breaking Bad is canceled. It is airing half the final season this year, half in 2013... but it is already canceled.
Stewart, do you not understand the difference between a show being canceled as opposed to a show that has come to its final Season. Were "Mash" or "Cheers" "canceled"? Cancellation of a show happens when the ratings are poor, which is clearly not the case for "Breaking Bad" since its Season 5 premiere set ratings records for the show, which is available on Cable and Satellite, but not DISH Network.
Is there any guarantee those will even be run? It wouldn't be the first time shows were 'in-the-can' but never aired.
Again, that situation occurs when a show struggles in the ratings, not the case here, despite your aversion to AMC shows.

Racks & Mounts
Jan 12, 2012 4:55 PM, By Mark Johnson
Racks and mounts serve a number of practical purposes: They help organize and securely hold various types of equipment. They help position the gear ergonomically for access or viewing where it can operate most effectively. And they help secure it from theft. In their most basic form, racks and mounts are utilitarian workman-like tools. With added engineering and design creativity they can also exhibit a certain elegance that's generally only appreciated by those with a technical bent.
Mounts are used for attaching speakers and videos monitors to walls; suspending projectors, displays, and speakers from ceilings; and are used in a multitude of applications including boardrooms, digital signage, and home theater. As flatpanels become more ubiquitous sources for visual communication and entertainment, the methodologies and available products for handily positioning the screens in our sightlines has likewise increased. There are slim mounts that provide a low profile against the mounting surface to mounts that cantilever out and provide a wide range of motion side to side, as well as tilt and even rotate for landscape or portrait orientation. Many mounts available have the word "universal" included somewhere in their names. That generally refers to the ability to attach just about any make or model display to the mount. That is due to compliance with the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS), also known as the Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI), which are standards defined by the Video Electronics Standards Association. The original and still most common, MIS-D 100, specifies a 100mmx100mm-square bolt pattern. Additional patterns were established later to accommodate larger displays.
Traditionally, racks held amplifiers and system processing for sound systems. Many refer generically to racks as "amp racks" regardless of what's actually in it. If it's used for installed AV, it's probably in a rack or on a mount of some sort. Form factors for racks can be freestanding, wall-mounted, or even desktop. They can be gangable, where modular racks attach to one another for installations that require multiple racks. All racks hold to a standard mounting rail spacing width of 19in. as set forth by the now-defunct Electronic Industries Alliance. The height of the products to be mounted in the racks is typically stipulated in rack units (RU), which is 1 3/4in. high.
Some manufacturers specialize in racks, some in mounts, and some produce both, so it's a good idea to check the manufacturers websites if you're looking for more than one type of equipment mounting solution. For mounts, we'll look at examples of flatpanel wall mounts. The racks in this showcase are standalone models intended primarily for permanent install.
The Atlas Sound FMA series provide the ability to configure the rack to specific requirements. The rack features 11-gauge adjustable rails with hash marks to indicate rack unit increments. Increased rack width provides for better cable management and working space. The racks are available in a variety of depths and heights.
Audio Video Metals features the Floor Mount Pull Out Rotating Rack, which facilitates access to the sides and back of the rack even when the rack is positioned flush to a wall surface. The rack proper extends full and can rotate left or right with locking positions at 45 degrees and 90 degrees.
The Raxxess series from Chief features the CPROTR captive rotating rack. Designed to facilitate installation, wiring, and maintenance, the freestanding rack pulls out of the enclosure and rotates 90 degrees. It's also a good option for locations with restricted access to the back of the rack. The rack is available in 35 and 42 space heights.
The STR series of racks from H.O.M.E. (now House of Commercial Product but originally stood for House Of Metal Enclosures) are available in five different heights that features an 11-gauge bottom panel, 11-gauge mounting rails, and 16-gauge side and top panels, and can be assembled in the field. The 16-gauge removable front door features a three-point locking system.
Lowell Manufacturing's LXR-IAV pre-assembled racks come ready to go with the most commonly used accessories already installed. These include a utility shelf, vent panel, AC power strip, cable-management bar, and casters (quantities depend on size of rack). The finish is a black powder epoxy.
The new BGR equipment rack from Middle Atlantic Products features the patent-pending LeverLock interior management system that facilitates cable management as well as mounting of small devices on the interior sides of the rack. It's available with optional solid, vented, or Plexiglas front doors.
The R8010 slide and rotate rack system from Penn Elcom slides forward and rotates for access to the back of the rack. It includes a hinged cable-management system that allows extra cable to be neatly run and enables the rack to move forward or back.
Racks Unlimited features a 38RU 19in. rack with an adjustable depth of up to 28in. The company's website offers the ability to build your own rack for your specific needs selecting items and accessories from their menu. Features include L-shaped adjustable mounting rails, removable side panels, a smoked Lexan front door with vents and lock, and lockable rear louver door.
The Winsted V8801 70in. Pro Series I rack is 40RU high (70in.) and features vented side panels for convection cooling when fans are employed. The rack uses adjustable 14-gauge front and rear rack rails, and a variety of vertical and horizontal lacing bars for cable management are available.

At the time our company was started, the e-cigarette industry was full of bulky, complicated e-cigarettes. Even the mini-style e cigarettes contained multiple parts- making them difficult and messy to use. Our founders saw tremendous potential in the product, and sold the two-piece mini e-cigarette design to make it more user-friendly.
Our ecigarettes are intricate in design, but easy to use. You just put a cartridge on, and start puffing. But the internal processes are far more complex. When you take a drag, this activates the sensor. The sensor triggers the smart chip. The smart chip, which is in charge of turning the battery cell on and off, at this point activates the battery.
The activated battery heats up the heating element inside the cartridge (also called an atomizer). The atomizer vaporizes the eliquid, turning it into thick, realistic vapor that you inhale. Contained within the vapor are nicotine and flavorings. This whole process takes milliseconds - from your perspective, you take a drag, enjoy the flavor, and exhale.
Better yet, the e cigarette vapor is almost odorless. The odor might linger for 1 or 2 seconds, but it is generally the smell of the corresponding e-liquid flavor, and can be quite pleasant. You can enjoy a vaping session, usually 10 to 15 puffs, and seconds later, no one else will be able to tell.
In today's ever-expanding e-cig market, the Green Smoke® brand stands apart. While everyone claims to have the highest vapor volume, richest taste, the longest lasting batteries, and industry-leading quality, the real proof is in the pudding (or vaping in this case).
See what our customers are saying on Facebook and Twitter. Look at customer reviews of our e-cigs. Our quality - independently verifiable - shows. The tremendous amount of time, energy, and money that we invest in research, development, and quality control is clear, once you try our e cigs.
Still unsure? Check it out. We back our words with action, and guarantee your total satisfaction. You can return every one of our ecig starter kits for 100% money back - we'll even pay for the return shipping. How many vapor cigarette companies offer that?
Additional benefits? We also sell nicotine free electronic cigarettes, for those who want all the pleasure of vaping, but no nicotine. And even better yet, we're more than happy to offer you a Green Smoke® coupon to lower your initial starting costs. Just because.
Experience for yourself our starter kits. They have everything you need to use ecigs successfully, at the best ecig prices for you. Our no-hassle refund policy lets you try something new and exciting with peace of mind. So make the move - Green Means Go®. Shop kits now

UEAPME and ACCA are delighted to invite you to a roundtable discussion that will seek to exchange views and practical experiences on how to encourage a rescue culture and how new rules could make cross-border insolvencies more efficient and appropriate to deal with the demands of businesses operating on an international basis, though without jeopardising legal certainty and creditors' rights.
A panel of experts will namely discuss whether the scope of the EU insolvency framework is sufficient or needs to be expanded to include pre-insolvency proceedings, whether there are problems with its interaction with other aspects of EU and national law - such as recognition, enforcement and national regimes, whether the costs of cross-border restructuring or reorganisation are disproportionate, and the challenges faced by the insolvency of groups
Panellists will also address how insolvency law can best address the needs of enterprises, including SMEs, and how legal procedures in cross-border insolvencies can be made less costly/bureaucratic, and assess to what extent harmonisation of insolvency law could facilitate further harmonisation of company law in the EU.
Insolvency law must strike the right balance between several objectives and foster discipline and transparency in financial management. It shall firstly try and avoid liquidation of potentially viable companies in facilitating their rehabilitation. When such a rehabilitation proves impossible, it aims to ensure orderly market exit of inefficient entities in protecting creditors' rights while safeguarding the interests of shareholders and customers.
The EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings came into force throughout the European Union, with the exception of Denmark, on 31 May 2002. It governs how the bankruptcies of both companies and individuals should be coordinated between several EU countries and aims to improve legal certainty as well as to encourage cooperation in cross-border cases. Ten years on from its introduction considerable changes in the economic and political environment, including the recent financial crisis, galloping globalisation and businesses relocations, require taking a fresh look at the regulation. The European Commission is thus now seeking to improve the current framework and remediate problems linked to its implementation and the disparity that arises from different national insolvency laws.
With about 600 businesses liquidated every day, insolvency is an essential part of a modern single market. It is the right timing to assess the general effectiveness of the EU insolvency regime and if there is room for improvement and modernisation. In the current financial climate it is also timely to consider whether the EU framework and national regimes do enough to encourage the rescue of viable businesses that are experiencing pressing short-term problems.

Four Chicago Public Schools saved from closing list; fate of remaining schools up for vote today
BY LAUREN FITZPATRICK, JON SEIDEL AND DAN MIHALOPOULOS Staff Reporters May 21, 2013 4:22PM
Esteban Burgoa at the Chicago Board of Education Headquarters, continues the protest against school closings which the board is expected to vote on Wednesday, May,22, 2013. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
The Board of Education
David Vitale, president, appointed May 2011.
The former president and CEO of the Chicago Board of Trade, Vitale currently chairs the Urban Partnership Bank in Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit and has a long banking resume.

Four Chicago Public Schools are no longer up for closing this year, a fifth wouldn't close until next year and a sixth school would be spared from the staff reboot known as a turnaround, the Chicago Sun-Times learned Tuesday.
CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett is expected to withdraw her recommendations to shutter Marcus Garvey Elementary School and Mahalia Jackson Elementary School on the South Side; Leif Ericson Elementary Scholastic Academy on the West Side, and George Manierre Elementary School on the Near North Side, according to a source familiar with her deliberations.
She will postpone the closing of Miriam G. Canter Middle School until June 2014 and let Clara Barton Elementary School improve itself instead of firing its staff and turning it over to the Academy for Urban School Leadership, the source said.
If the board approves all of her remaining recommendations Wednesday, a maximum of 50 schools could close in June.
Byrd-Bennett considered feedback from board members and from community hearings in changing her mind on the six, the source said. She apparently agreed with some comments from hearing officers for Manierre and Jackson, who condemned her previous decision to close the schools.
As Manierre's hearing officer noted, the school has attracted multiple million-dollar investments from outside partners, including literacy investments and a library from Target; an early math project from the Erikson Institute; a Write2Win pilot project, and an expansion of the Child-Parent Center P-K to 3rd Grade program. Planned development in the Old Town area should boost Manierre's enrollment as well. Sources said safety concerns about sending children to Jenner were not at issue in Byrd-Bennett's decision.
Jackson's officer pointed to its unique program specifically designed for children with hearing impairments and for children learning to be sign language interpreters, through a partnership with Columbia College. And the Aurburn Gresham neighborhood school is a model for inclusion, or integrating children with special needs into general-education classes.
Byrd-Bennett recognized Garvey as a model for social-emotional learning in the district, applauded for helping children develop empathy and problem-solving skills. And the Washington Heights neighborhood school had an unprecedented amount of community support during the closing process.
Ericson is the only magnet school on the closing list, a rare option for parents in East Garfield Park on Chicago's West Side.
As for Canter, in the Kenwood neighborhood, which would not accept new students in August, many of its seventh-graders moved from Shoesmith Elementary, closed last year, which potentially would have sent that class through four schools in four years by the time they enter high school.
Barton, in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, is no longer under consideration to have its staff fired because it has been undergoing a kind of turnaround of its own, investing in its own staff, the source said.
Byrd-Bennett declined through a spokeswoman to comment Tuesday. It's not yet clear whether the STEM and IB programs promised to receiving schools Sumner and Jenner will still open there.
Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis, who has called for a moratorium on all school closings, called Manierre's removal "a start": "This is just too many schools to close."
The fate of the remaining 50 schools lies in the hands of the six people known as the Board of Education, all appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel: David Vitale, Jesse Ruiz, Andrea Zopp, Henry Bienen, Mahalia Hines and Carlos Azcoitia.
For a school to close, at least four of the members must vote Wednesday to approve it. The board has no tie breakers, so a 3-3 vote will end in that school remaining open, according to CPS.
Board members are expected to take a single vote on the group of schools they all agree on. Where they disagree, they will vote school by school.
Public participation for the meeting, which begins at 10:30 a.m., could last for two hours; all 60 speaking slots have long been filled. Byrd-Bennett is then expected to present her recommendations on 50 closures; 11 proposals to put multiple schools under one roof, and five — no longer six — turnarounds.
Then the board votes.
Ald. Robert Fioretti (2nd) said there may be a few schools that are pardoned at the last moment, but he thinks that would not be significant.
"That way, Rahm can pat himself on the back and say to people, 'Here's what we've done for you,' " Fioretti said Tuesday, calling the school closures "the most ill-conceived process anyone has ever seen."
Fioretti said CPS officials have not provided "clear and concise reasons for the closings," instead variously arguing that poor performance or underutilization make the moves necessary.
Ald. Howard Brookins (21st), the head of the City Council's Black Caucus, said he does not understand how CPS can avoid pardoning 13 schools that hearing officers said should remain open.
Brookins said the recommendations of the hearing officers — former judges — should be heeded unless it is shown that any of them made glaring mistakes in their analyses.
"How do you handpick judges as hearing officers and then turn around and say they didn't know what the hell they were doing?" Brookins said. "What do we then say to people who went out to the hearings? That they shouldn't be respected? That their opinions don't stand for anything?"
He added: "I like Rahm. I'm not trying to bash him. I just don't know who is advising him."
Mayor Rahm Emanuel wouldn't answer questions directly about what happens if the school board fails to approve the school-closure plan as recommended — "You don't know what they're going to do, so that would be premature," he said.
But he said he wants the board to take its responsibility to Chicago's students seriously, and that's what he said is happening.
"The board still has questions," Emanuel said. "To this very moment they're still doing the responsible thing for children by interviewing and analyzing stuff. So they've taken their responsibility seriously. Didn't just take the first list and say, 'No.' "

The second prong of the Small Scale Local Farm Food Safety Program has already been beta-tested by the Yolo County (Calif.) Farm Bureau. Designed to train growers, it is a seven-hour course that can be sponsored by small co-ops, school districts and other entities that want to ensure their local suppliers have adequate food safety programs.
The course includes information about how to develop food safety programs and manuals, as well as mock audits. Garrison said participating growers will be able to submit their manuals and self-audits for review by trainers.
The third aspect of the program is intended to help growers follow through with food safety plans and better connect with customers. It includes software for personal computers and an app for mobile devices so local growers will be able to show customers what they have done in regard to food safety practices.

LED/LCD Monitors
Jun 6, 2013 2:51 PM, By Bennett Liles
Falling prices and expanding roles for flatpanel displays have pushed them into more applications while broadening the feature sets for these devices. Growing in screen size and popularity, the LED/LCD units have ventured into the daylight with new screen surfaces, high brightness, and wider viewing angles for digital signage installations. One of the more interesting developments has been in touchscreen applications with larger and more durable indoor/outdoor models. Here, we have a look at a wide group of the newer displays with 24/7 operating reliability and other modern capabilities.
BenQ has combined the features of touchscreen technology with multimedia connectivity to produce the T650 interactive flatpanel, and provide a more immersive classroom media experience. The Optical Sensing Touch Technology allows a USB 2.0 connected computer to be controlled by touching the T650 display screen while the ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness to suit the classroom. Sound from media sources is heard through built-in 12W speakers, and there is an external speaker output. The 65in. diagonal screen provides 1920x1080 resolution. The 178-degree horizontal/vertical viewing angle allows students to see a bright picture from the edges of the room. Video inputs include HDMI, DVI, VGA in/out, component, S-Video, and composite video. Remote control is on RS-232 (in/out). Other features include automatic scheduling, picture-in-picture, and built-in videowall support.
The High Definition Series video LCD monitors from Boland Communications are available in a range of sizes topping out with the new 72in. model. With resolution up to 1080p, the monitor can input HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, DVI, composite, S-Video, component, and PC VGA. It is capable of showing aspect ratios of 4:3, 16:9, 1.85:1 in adjustable presets and other features include digital adaptive comb filters, picture-in-picture, picture-by-picture, 10-bit digital processing, and 1400:1 contrast ratio. The display light source is composed of color-match fluorescent lamps, and there are five variable color temperature adjustment menus. The unit weighs 68lbs., and has a VESA 100 and 200, 10-32/M5 mounting pattern.
For digital signage applications, Christie Digital Systems has introduced the new FHD55-W LED edge-lit, LCD outdoor display with a 55in. screen, 1920x1080 resolution, 6.5 milliseconds response time, and landscape or portrait orientation capability. This all comes inside an IP56, NEMA 4 weatherproof housing. The unit has inputs including DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, composite, component, and S-Video. It can be remote controlled through its RS-232 port or by infrared on the 3.5mm mini jack. Audio can be input and output on 3.5mm jacks, and it includes two integrated and weatherproof 4Ω, 10W speakers. Also featured are picture-in-picture, Image Retention Frame Motion (IRFM) mode, DACS cooling and filtration system, and aspect ratio control. Without the mount, the unit weighs 121lbs. and it is only 4.8in. thick.
The LD4710 47in. digital signage display from HP includes an Ethernet port, which can be used with HP's Network Sign Manager software to enable immediate changes to network connected units. There is also an onboard Media Sign Player to run pictures, movies, and music from a USB drive. For videowall installations, the bezel size is only 0.7in., and the monitor includes a DisplayPort loop-through to simplify cabling. With a brightness figure of 700 cd/m², the LD4710 can be mounted in high ambient light environments where its 1920x1080 resolution screen can be viewed at an angle up to 178 degrees horizontal and vertical. In addition to the DisplayPort in/out, the unit can accommodate HDMI and loop VGA video signals, as well. Also controllable on an RS-232 loop-through, it has options including a pair of 10W HP digital signage speakers.
For large digital signage applications, Hyundai offers the 82in. D825ML CCFL backlit LCD display with a metal frame and 600 cd/m² brightness. Operating either in landscape or portrait orientation, each unit can be daisy chained for RS-232 control, and HDMI, VGA, component (BNC), and composite video signals in videowall installations. Its bezel width of less than an inch and a half is an asset. Features include automatic cooling and power control, along with 1080p native resolution, 178-degree viewing angle and an onscreen display menu. Among available options are touchscreen function and tempered glass. Audio can be input separately for the PC, component, and composite video inputs. The unit weighs 296.6lbs. and has a 1540mmx600mm VESA mounting pattern.

The Composers
(Jacob Ludwig) Felix Mendelssohn
One of the leading German composers of the 1830s and 40s, Felix Mendelssohn's music is often cited as evidence of the growing tension between musical Classicism and Romanticism in the post-Beethoven generation.
Described by Schumann as the 'Mozart of the 19th century', his style, fully formed by the age of 20, combines Mozartean grace with the drama of Beethoven and the complexity of J S Bach. Many of his orchestral, choral and chamber works are firmly established in the repertoire, and he remains a popular figure with concert-goers.
Born the son of a Jewish banker in Hamburg on 3 February 1809 and secretly baptized into the Protestant faith, Mendelssohn's early musical education was supervised by his mother. Along with his talented sister Fanny, he displayed remarkable ability on a number of instruments and as a composer.
At the age of 12 he had already written, and seen performed, a fully produced Singspiel and had composed numerous works in other genres. A solid general education and trips around Europe exposed him to new literary and musical influences to build on his knowledge of Bach, Mozart and Haydn, and by 1825 he had written his first masterpiece, the String Octet. This was followed in 1826 by another remarkable work, the Midsummer Night's Dream overture, pointing to his love for Shakespeare.
Following the study of legal history, geography and aesthetics at the University of Berlin, Mendelssohn embarked in 1829 on a musical tour of Italy, France and England, meeting Goethe along the way. While in Britain he undertook a walking tour of Scotland where the Symphony No. 3 and Hebrides overture were conceived. Indeed, Mendelssohn was a frequent visitor to England throughout the rest of his career.
In 1833, Mendelssohn was offered a position as Düsselfdorf music director. His energies were devoted to reviving the oratorios of Haydn and Handel, having already presented a revival performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion in 1829. This no doubt prompted him to begin his own oratorio, St Paul in 1834.
A move to Leipzig occurred in 1835, where Mendelssohn served as municipal music director and conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Over the next 12 years, he turned this orchestra into one of Europe's most prestigious ensembles.
International fame was secured in 1836 by his decision to direct the 18th Niederrheinisches Musikfest in Dusseldorf; shortly after he married Cécile Jeanrenaud, daughter of a Huguenot minister. A time of personal and professional happiness, Mendelssohn was constantly in demand to conduct the major music festivals of Europe.
In September 1841 he was appointed Kapellmeister to Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, and charged with the task of trying to revive Berlin's musical life. Mendelssohn's duties were never clear and he continued to return to Leipzig to conduct, eventually resigning the Berlin position in September 1844. Meanwhile his Leipzig efforts had helped found a new Conservatory and won him an honorary citizenship of the city.
The last years were dominated by the composition and performance of his great oratorio, Elijah . However in 1847, returning to Frankfurt from England, Mendelssohn was shattered to hear of Fanny's death. Mendlessohn's own demise was not far off either and, after suffering a number of strokes, he died on 4 November 1847 and was buried next to his beloved sister.
Mourned internationally, his reputation suffered in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries due to the anti-Semitic views of Wagner and, later, the Nazis who banned his music. However, in recent years, the quality and attractiveness of his music has won him a loyal following among concert-goers.
Related Composers: Schubert, Beethoven, Berlioz, Mozart, Weber, J S Bach, Handel
The eight books of Lieder ohne Worte (Songs without Words) span virtually the whole of Mendelssohn's composing output. Written between 1829 and 1845, they are varied collections of piano miniatures with song-like textures. Sometimes lyrical, at other times virtuosic, these pieces were composed for salon performance in the homes of the wealthy.
Book VIII, published posthumously, was composed between 1842 and 1845. Highlights of this set include a sprightly tarantella (No. 3) and the serenity of the closing Andante.

"The block" is the term for a century-old form of cruising Melbourne's city arcades that to this day takes in cutting-edge artwork, independent fashion, imported music and stunning design. Start at Block Arcade, which links Collins Street and Little Collins streets via a glass canopied, mosaic floored laneway and be tempted by the cake displays at Hopetoun Tearooms, decadent jewellery and homeware window displays, rollicking tunes at the subterranean Basement Discs, and a selection of al fresco eating options. Cross over to Royal Arcade, which is guarded over by the giant statues of mythical figures Gog and Magog. The high glass roof of the arcade houses shops dedicated to babushkas and boardgames, jewellerya nd sweets. High end fashion and streetwear can be found up an unassuming set of stairs beneath the clock. Back over Collins Street to Flinders Lane is Cathedral Arcade, featuring an impressive dome, stained glass and leadlighting. Local experimental fashion store Alice Euphemia is a Cathedral Arcade stalwart, as is the American vintage purveyor Route 66. Beneath Degraves Street is Campbell Arcade, where commuters are given something to smile about by the latest installations from the Platform Artist Group, one of Melbourne's oldest artist-run initiatives. Decent coffee is also readily available, as is indie fashion and accessories, hip-hop vinyl, and a world of 'zines. All the cafes, bars and restaurants scattered around "the block" ensure you can maintain your energy levels to do it all over again. Any tram along Swanston or Elizabeth streets will deliver you to Collins Street and Block Arcade, or hop off at any of the 13 stops along the free Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle route.
The Great Ocean Road region hugs the contours of Victoria's rugged south west coast and offers one of Australia's greatest and most spectacular coastal drives with a glimpse of the famous 12 Apostles. Start your journey in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula and discover beautiful beaches, great eateries, a fascinating heritage and an enormous range of recreational opportunities, from fishing and golfing to diving and surfing. Take in the colourful and lively ambience of bayside Geelong, Victoria's second largest city, or discover quaint Queenscliff's rich maritime history and heritage hotels. Follow the coast to the seaside resort towns of Torquay, Lorne and Apollo Bay for stunning beaches and water sports as well as incredible rainforest scenery in the nearby Otway Ranges. One of the most visited stretches of the Great Ocean Road is around Port Campbell. Buffeted by wild seas and fierce winds, Port Campbell's coastline has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of striking rock stacks that rise majestically out of the Southern Ocean. Known as the 12 Apostles, they are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Victoria. A helicopter ride to get a bird's eye view of these famous natural wonders is the ultimate Great Ocean Road experience. The Great Ocean Road is characterised by its rich maritime past. The historic towns of Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Portland give you a taste of seafaring village life, with their fishing wharves, preserved colonial buildings and maritime museums recounting the stories of ships that have foundered off the rugged shipwreck coast. The Great Ocean Road is a two-hour drive from the heart of Melbourne. The Great Ocean Road itself stretches for over 400 kilometres from Torquay to the South Australian border. Alternatively, take the inland route along the Princes Highway from Geelong to Warrnambool.
Travel through the charming villages dotted around Victoria's Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges region and celebrate the enriching effects of water, from the luxury spas, the decadent food and wine, the lush environment, the thriving arts and crafts community, and the holistic therapies. Travel just an hour north-west of Melbourne to an area boasting the greatest concentration of naturally occurring mineral springs in Australia. Daylesford and Hepburn Springs were built up around these springs and you're spoiled for choice of spa and wellness centres, each using the water's mineral properties differently to ensure maximum relaxation and wellbeing. Head to these towns for the added indulgences of restaurants serving sumptuous local food and wines, luxury accommodation, and shops and galleries displaying unique local wares. Impressive mansions, striking landscapes and some of Victoria's finest gardens combine to create the old world ambience of the nearby Macedon Ranges. Tour Mount Macedon's heritage gardens, explore the 19th century streetscapes of Woodend and Kyneton lined with art and craft galleries and vintage emporiums, or visit the legendary Hanging Rock, the haunting backdrop to The Picnic at Hanging Rock book and film. The Macedon Ranges is also a cool-climate wine region known for producing outstanding sparkling wine, pinot noir and chardonnay. Visit the cellar doors of over 40 wineries and spend time chatting to winemakers. Find excellent shiraz and cabernet in the wineries around Sunbury. You'll also discover an abundance of local produce, with even the smallest regional towns offering award-winning restaurants, provedores stocked with the best local preserves, farm gates selling the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses and meats. Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges region is just an hour north-west of Melbourne along the Western Freeway or the Calder Freeway.
Make Gisborne your starting point for a journey through Victoria's historic goldfields and indulgent Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges region. Spoil yourself at local wineries and stroll through rugged state parks and lush botanical gardens. Enjoy country delights in a cosy cafe or savour a picnic lunch beside Jackson Creek. Plan your trip to the Macedon wine region, where you can meet winemakers and taste their vintages at cellar doors. Improve your game at the Gisborne Golf Course. The ancestral home of the Woiwurung people, Gisborne has a rich and varied past as a stopping point for diggers on their way to the goldfields. Admire heritage buildings that detail the town's 160-year history. Wander the leafy streets searching for treasures in antique and craft stores, or time your trip to visit the popular Gisborne Market on the first Sunday of each month. Venture into nearby Lederderg State Park and spend a day bushwalking or rockclimbing. Test your kayaking and rafting skills on the Lederderg River, or just enjoy a spot of swimming or fishing. Discover 500 million years of geological history in the 300 metre deep slate and limestone gorge, or mountain bike along the tough trails. Gisborne is about 45 minutes from Melbourne along the Calder Freeway.
The picture-book alpine village of Mount Beauty more than lives up to its name from its prime location at the foot of Mount Bogong, Victoria's highest mountain. Tucked into the fertile Kiewa Valley, Mount Beauty is surrounded by welcoming farm gates offering the freshest locally-grown produce, tranquil Kiewa River with its abundant fish, and a handful of wineries making the most of the distinct terroir. Combine premium sparkling wines with a gourmet lunch in stunning surrounds at Annapurna Wines or gobble up French fare and pinot noir at Bogong Estate. The stunning Alpine National Park offers excellent hiking and mountain biking and some of the freshest air you'll breathe. The High Plains and their historic huts are best explored on horseback in honour of the courageous and skilled cattlemen who once roamed the High Country. Mount Beauty's proximity to the ski resort of Falls Creek makes it a great place for wintery weekends, skiing and snowboarding on the mountain and staying in the village's indulgent alternatives to on-mountain accommodation. Mount Beauty rocks out to blues, roots and world music at its annual music festival each April. Magnificent views of Mount Bogong and the Mount Beauty village can be seen from Tawonga Gap, and the scenery is increasingly breathtaking on the 230-kilometre Bogong Alpine Way (part of the Great Alpine Road), looping through Bright, Mount Beauty, Falls Creek and over Mount Hotham. Mount Beauty is almost 400 kilometres or four hours from Melbourne on the Hume Highway.
Settled during the gold rush of 1855 as 'New Bendigo', St Arnaud in Victoria's Grampians region boasts postcard-perfect heritage streetscapes and the distinction of a pub for every couple of hundred residents. Grand old buildings with cast iron lacework verandahs line the streets of St Arnaud, originally dubbed 'New Bendigo' but soon renamed to honour the Commander of the French forces in the Crimean War, Jacques le Roy de Saint Arnaud, who lies buried with Napoleon in Paris. This history is celebrated at the annual At Arnaud Festival in November. In 1861 the town's streets were surveyed by W.M. Wills who later tried unsuccessfully to cross the continent with fellow explorer Robert O'Hara Burke. St Arnaud's historic precinct features the 1866 post office, the old court house, Victoria's oldest fire station, and a host of notable pubs for refreshing drinks and chats with the locals. St Arnaud's manicured gardens and surrounding bushland can be surveyed from the lookout atop Wilsons Hill. The town is edged by St Arnaud Range National Park and Teddington Reservoir with their abundant native flora and fauna, and nearby lakes and rivers that are well stocked with fish. St Arnaud is approximately 240 kilometres from Melbourne, or just under three hours by car along the Calder Freeway and the Wimmera Highway.
Discover refined regional recreation in Horsham, the capital of the Wimmera district and home to manicured botanic gardens, art and cultural treasures, and sweeping sunsets over the renowned Wimmera plains. Horsham lays claim to a relaxed, country atmosphere and a moderate climate. Originally grazing lands, the Wimmera became better known for wheat production and Horsham was quickly developed as a centre of economic activity for the region. The banks of the Wimmera River and the striking surrounds were immortalised by artists Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan and still provide inspiration to a dynamic arts community. Artistic and cultural treasures abound at the renowned Horsham Regional Art Gallery, housed in a 1930s art deco building, and the Wool Factory produces some of the finest wool in Australia. The William Guilfoyle-designed botanic gardens on the banks of the Wimmera River will account for many hours. With a host of things to do in and around the town, Horsham is also an excellent base for exploring the surrounding natural attractions, including Mt Arapiles-Tooan State Park, Little Desert National Park (where you can spot the intriguing Mallee Fowl) and the northern Grampians. Be inspired by the rock climbers as they test their skills on the daunting Mt Arapiles and capture the sunsets that can be seen on the vast flat plains of the Wimmera and the northern Grampians. Horsham is the region's showcase greens golf course and is recognised as one of the best public courses in Victoria. Come for the Horsham Golf Club Annual Tournament in September or the Racing Cup Carnival in October. Horsham is 301 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and is a 3.5 hour drive. Travel by car via the Henty, Glenelg or Western highways. Coach services are available daily from Melbourne.
Venture off the High Country's beaten tracks and stumble upon tiny villages like Chiltern, which came of age following the discovery of gold in the 1850s. These days over 20 buildings in Chiltern are registered or owned by the National Trust. Wander through the village's well-preserved nineteenth century streetscape and imagine you're on the set of an Australian period film. Take a self-guided walk past the historic post office, courthouse and masonic hall, as well as the original police cells. Visit the Federal Standard newspaper office and Dow's Pharmacy and discover how much things have changed since the nineteenth century. Visit Lakeview House, the elegant former home of distinguished author Henry Handel Richardson, who penned the Australian classic The Getting of Wisdom. Uncover goldfield relics and native bird life on quiet forest trails through the Chiltern Mount Pilot National Park, and enjoy 360-degree views over the countryside from the Mount Pilot Lookout.
Absorb the heady mix of Australian-Chinese history, sumptuous aromas of Asian cuisine and contemporary nightlife as you enter Melbourne's Chinatown through its imposing arches. Explore the nineteenth century buildings on the strip of Little Bourke Street between Swanston and Spring streets that comprises Australia's oldest Chinatown, now intermingling with hip bars and fashion boutiques. Feast in renowned Chinese and Asian restaurants such as Shark Fin, Supper Inn, Dragon Boat and Westlake where yum cha is the word for brunch, or try the fabulous Flower Drum, Cantonese fine dining at its best. Choose the perfect spot for dinner as you stroll under streetlights, lanterns and neon lights. Afterwards disappear down a laneway or up a flight of stairs for cocktail sorcery at the Croft Institute, New Gold Mountain or Fad Gallery. Learn the Chinese-Australia story at the Chinese Museum in Cohen Place, and get the hidden history with a guided walk through Little Bourke Street's buildings and laneways. Each year Chinatown hosts many traditional Chinese festivals and activities such as the Asian Food Festival and the Chinese New Year. Reach Chinatown by walking two-and-a-half blocks north from Federation Square, or taking any tram along Swanston Street to Bourke or Lonsdale streets. You can even catch the free City Circle Tram to Parliament House on Spring Street, then walk to Little Bourke Street, or jump on the free Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle.
El Dorado is nestled on the banks of Reedy Creek, downstream from the historic town of Beechworth and at the end of the Woolshed Valley. It is central to the Rural City of Wangaratta, the renown Milawa Gourmet Region and to the famous wine region of Rutherglen. Although little of the original architecture remains, miners' cottages, churches, public buildings, almond orchards, ancient fig trees and mining relics are a reminder of the town's bustling past. The name El Dorado came long before gold was discovered. In 1841, Captain William Fury Baker a settler and previously a Royal Navy Captain, renamed his Barambogie property, near Chiltern, "El Dorado". Here, Baker had found his utopia, his 'pot of gold' and the means to a rich life. Little did he know that hidden beyond the boundary of his property lay vast wealth with several floors of alluvial gold and tin and that the miners to come would adopt the name El Dorado for the town. In recent times El Dorado has attracted people seeking a quiet country environment and lifestyle within short distances to larger towns. While in El Dorado explore the History Museum (formerly the school), and El Dorado's three historic churches. Visit the cemetery, walk along Reid's Walk through the mining areas, and drive or ride the Woolshed Valley and read the interpretive panels telling the stories of the mining era. The immense Heritage listed Cock's El Dorado gold and tin mining dredge floats at its resting place on the edge of town and is well worth a visit or picnic and swim at the local Top Cut, a large open sluice mine area.

Filipino folk fusion band SamaSama Project will perform Oct. 27 in Frankfort. | Supplied Photo
Updated: October 3, 2012 6:03AM
The Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club will host a concert by the Filipino folk fusion band SamaSama Project at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at Lincoln-Way East High School, 201 S. Colorado Ave., Frankfort.
"We are excited to bring the SamaSama Project to the Lincoln-Way area," said Margaret Semmer, president of the Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club. "We hope area residents join us for this special concert as we celebrate Filipino-American Heritage Month and learn more about another culture."
The SamaSama Project, which fuses Filipino traditional folk music with contemporary music, performs regularly at cultural festivals, museum shows and commercial/private engagements in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Last year, the group performed at the Pope's World Youth Day MacroFestival Concert in Madrid, Spain.
"Their music and their rich culture have been influenced by a number of foreign settlers, including the United States," said Rotarian Jan Paul Ferrer, who helped bring the group to the Lincoln-Way area. "When you open up your mind and look at diversity … you will find there are a lot of similarities (between the American culture and Filipino culture)."
The group includes Baron Cabalona
on drums, Ran Sevilla on guitar, Lee Maningas on bass and Louella Cabalona on vocals.
"We have diverse music (in the Philippines)," said Cabalona, who explained how the country has been occupied and influenced by a number of countries through the years, including the United States, Spain and China.
As a result, their art and music reflect influences from the American, Spanish and Chinese cultures.
Tickets are $10 and $25, with limited sponsor and VIP tickets priced at $55 and $100.
Information: John Lachat, (708) 802-6576 or Ferrer, (708) 692-0393.

ISSUE 23 - The Hope & Hype of MOOCs
President's Report
Trends and tipping points
Many of us are interested in new and emerging technology trends. We speculate about which advancements will be big hits, changing how we live or work—and which will surge, but then fall quickly, ending up in the dust bin of invention. Exploring the trends that will impact the work of libraries is a vitally important part of what OCLC does.

My biggest question is if this will only be available as a book or will they also make it available in a box set, so you can get a few minis with it as well.
Book only?
Posted 29 July 2011 - 12:15 AM
Posted 29 July 2011 - 01:28 AM
It will probably just be a book. I think i prefer if its just a book.
Posted 29 July 2011 - 02:16 AM
I'm pretty sure it is just the book- they already have the Dust Tactics box sets as an entry level for new players.

Yes and no. Dust tactics is a different game. I would like to see the option as a book and a option of a box set.
It makes no sense to force TT players to get Dust Tactics as a requirement (they might not want the DT rules and tiles). It makes perfect sense to buy DT for the minis, terrain, dice and discount value, but forcing people to buy a $60 game and a presumably $40 book for a starter set is kind of silly, when they could have a Dust Warfare boxed set with 30 minis and 2 walkers for $75 for the new only interested in TT rules/play crowd. Plus a perfect way to bring back Sigrid and Joe.
Posted 29 July 2011 - 04:31 PM
Way I see it, my friend, is that the revised Core Set was designed for this purpose...since it includes no tiles! (only a poster)
Yes, it will inlcude a DT revised rulebook, but you could consider it a freebie, since most probably we wil be able to donload it for free. Meanwhile it will be new customer´s choice to either buy the carboard tiles and updated card pack if he wants to play DT, or the D:W rulebook if he prefers TT.
I dare say that future new faction sets (Vrill, SSU) will have this same standard (small rulebook, poster tile and minis) instead of the DT original starter set standard.
What do you think?
Posted 30 July 2011 - 03:18 AM
im hopeing this book will have a good back ground / time line in it
Posted 30 July 2011 - 11:36 AM
Look at it this way
With how the single unit boxes are priced any DT content that is not compatible with DW is basically cheap or free. aside from the campaign heroes i dont see anything to complain about.
Buying the units for the original base box costs about 200 if you buy them as unit boxes (note you don't get heroes but you do get extra mech/ troop options)
one thing to consider is what kind of extra equipment will be used to play DW, do we need new unit cards? rulers? tokens?
Posted 31 July 2011 - 05:34 AM
I'm expecting just the book. But between now and then I am buying and painting my armies and looking forward to the release of Dust Warfare.
Posted 31 July 2011 - 02:07 PM
I have my box and love it. If I didn't have I would buy it. Like said above for the price of the minis everything else is a freebee. Can't wait for this book to come available.
Posted 01 August 2011 - 02:52 AM
I think Aldarion has the right of it- the Revised Core Set IS the Dust Warfare starter- the Dust Tactics rules are basically just a 'quick start' rules for the set, for all intents and purposes.
Posted 03 August 2011 - 03:32 AM
Exactly! It´s no coincidence that it´s all being launched and announced on the next GenCon.
Also it´s the redesign of the game marketing done by FFG, since the original boxes were produced and to be marketed by AEG with a different company mentality.
Revised and DW are something like DT v2.0, in my opinion.
Hope DT really becomes massive in audience and competes with WH40K!
Posted 06 August 2011 - 05:01 AM
I don't think it could really be a 40k competitor, more like another game folks can play. GW is just too big. I could see it being like warmachine or flames of war as far as popularity goes. The hardest part is gonna be getting my friends to want to play, so having 2 armies from the DT sets will help there, and then I just gotta hope they want to start their own army instead of knowing they can always use one of mine I think in general a lot of folks don't want to invest $500 in a new army for a game they think not enough people play. (I know a DT / DW army won't cost $500, but because of 40K a new player will probably think that's the case at first)
Posted 06 August 2011 - 05:12 AM
The game will have more appeal and more chance of "competing" with 40K once they finally get a few extra forces out and enough "sub" forces for people to have differing armies.
Once we get the Sino-Soviets and the Vrill and rules for Majestic 12 your friends who currently only sponge your non-used force (Axis or Ally) may go "oooh Russians" and there you go.
And once there are enough forces so I can do a "all Brit" or "Mainly Brit" Ally force or to differentiate from Blutkreuz and other German/Axis/Japanese/Italian forces.
Which is another reason I think the game (Both Dust Warfare and Dust Tactics) would benefit from normal troops/tank options.
Posted 08 August 2011 - 03:05 AM
The revised core set doesn't contain any tiles? Interesting to hear.
Dust wouldn't be able to compete with 40K, as that game is too big to take on. Dust can certainly stand up as a great game in its own right if they manage to take the confusion out of things - FFG Dust vs Dustgame.com models, differing scales on Dustgame.com models and the like.
Needs more than two forces at the moment as well, but we'll see what happens later this year in respect to that.
DW could certainly stand to gain from the 40K people looking for something different though. Especially as Andy Chambers name is involved.
Posted 08 August 2011 - 08:30 AM
I think the revised core comes with posters you fold out, instead of tiles. Guess they're trying to save money that way. At $80 though it still seems like a great deal for a bunch of models, even though the old core set was a better deal. Going forward I think it would be cool to see the Dust warfare book bundled with a bunch of models, but different stuff than what comes in the Dust tactics core.. so people could buy one of each and get a nice army when you combine the models from both.
Posted 09 August 2011 - 06:00 AM
I doubt they will bundle the book with models. The book only option is the best way to go. From the onset I think most DW players will come directly from DT and will already have a good amount of minis.

That is true. But if I have never played and suddenly wanted to. It would be $50 for the core book and then about $70 for a bundle of miniatures. Or if you get it cheap somewhere, $50 for the bundle. That is a $100 buy in. Overall not too shabby. Go in it with a buddy and its reasonable.
But still, make a new box set for Dust Warfare, throw in 3 squads, 2 walkers and a hero and you would newbies and oldies buy it alike.
Posted 09 August 2011 - 08:48 AM
Book only... I never got the impression it would be released in any other format. Or at least, the if it is the book will be available by itself in addition to any bigger sets.
Posted 23 August 2011 - 01:32 AM
I also beleive it's *only* a book.
I prefer it that way, but in any case, i wouldn't mind having extra goodies if it was more than a book.
More dices are always good,
Some terrains thingies maybe?,
A couple of new heroes?
Posted 23 August 2011 - 03:55 AM
Might come in a book only purchase and an alternative book bundle (dice, templates and a couple of minis) for those totally new to the game or those who want to expand. Perhaps new heroes specific to a faction.

Miscellaneous information
Victor Eijkhout (born 1959 in Arnhem, the Netherlands; currently residing in Austin TX, USA) is a long-time multi-instrumentalist with a history of playing in, and writing for, wind ensembles, jazz and pop bands and other combinations. His formal musical education is in piano, recorder, flute, viola da gamba, but he knows his way around church organ, bass guitar, various percussion in struments. His collection of world winds includes caval, dixi, hulusi, ney, shakuhachi, xiao, and Native American flutes; he has a CD "Flutecore" of Native American flute music. In recent years his composition activities have targeted the recorder, writing both faux-renaissance pieces and more intuitive pantonal pieces. He does not adhere to any formal system: the ear is the sole judge of the composition.
Since he is a kind soul, Victor makes his music available for free, but would appreciate getting a copy of concert programs if you decide to play his music.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has now published its response to the recent consultation on proposals to criminalise squatting. The consultation paper, entitled 'Options for dealing with squatting', received over 2,000 responses. As a first step, the Government is proposing to make squatting in residential properties a criminal offence.
The offence would be committed where a person:
- was in the building as a trespasser having entered as such;
- knew or ought to have known that he or she was a trespasser; and
- was living or intending to live in the building.
Section 7 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 already makes it a criminal offence for a trespasser to fail to leave residential premises when required to do so by or on behalf of a 'displaced residential occupier' or a 'protected intending occupier'. While this allows those who are effectively made homeless by squatters to take action, it does not protect landlords or owners of second homes.
At present, the Government is not planning to criminalise squatting in commercial premises. Part of the reason for this is to prevent the occupation of buildings during protest activities from being caught by the new legislation. Crispin Blunt, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, said, "Stopping short of criminalising squatting in non-residential buildings represents a balanced compromise. Squatters who occupy genuinely abandoned or dilapidated non-residential buildings will not be committing the new offence, although their actions will rightly continue to be treated as a civil wrong and they can still be prosecuted for offences such as criminal damage or burglary. Neither will students who occupy academic buildings or workers who stage sit-ins to protest against an employer be caught by the offence."
The legislation will not apply in situations where the property has previously been occupied legitimately, such as where tenants fall behind with their rent payments.

The growing number of Hispanics in the U.S. has made them an increasingly vital political constituency -- but that doesn't mean they are a single voting bloc. Hispanics, like all Americans, are a diverse group who find their interests represented in a variety of parties and political philosophies. And the desire for good jobs, education, and affordable health care are also concerns shared across the board. When the topic turns to immigration, the political lines become sharper -- but not always in the ways you might think.
At Radio Ink's Hispanic Radio Conference, you can learn the answer to the most important question there is: "How do I increase the ratings on my Hispanic radio station?" That's the title of a panel to be led by international radio programming consultant Bob Perry, talking with top programmers who understand the biggest opportunities and initiatives for Hispanic formats today.

In recognition of his contributions as an artist and humanitarian, Jose Feliciano will be presented with the Medallas de Cortez Distinguished Leadership Award, following a keynote address he will make at Radio Ink's Hispanic Radio Conference, being held March 10 at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego.
