No Wolverines selected in opening round
For the second year in a row, no Wolverines were selected in the opening round of the NHL Entry Draft. As expected, John Tavares, Victor Hedman, and one time Michigan State verbal commitment Matt Duchene went 1-2-3 in the draft.
Michigan recruits should see action in the second round, which kicks off at 10 a.m.
A few weeks ago there was a rumor trade between the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings that would have sent former U-M defenseman Jack Johnson to the Ducks as part of a deal for Chris Pronger.
Pronger did get traded on draft day, but it wasn't to the Kings. The All-Star defenseman, along with Ryan Dingle, was traded to Philadelphia for Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa, and a pair of first round draft picks.

But it was another page altogether that arrived at my house last week. "Recently, you submitted a request to the Denver Police Department for copies of any intelligence files, which might contain information relative to you," read the letter from Chief of Police Gerald Whitman. "At that time, you were advised that your name did not appear in any of the information. Upon further investigation of additional files, which were located, please be advised that your name does not appear anywhere in those files."
If a spy novel were crafted this clumsily, no one would make it past that first page.
To summarize the plot: Through an odd set of circumstances (okay, a blabby Lakewood police officer), this past spring the American Civil Liberties Union discovered that the DPD had been keeping surveillance files on citizens and activist groups that had been doing nothing more suspicious than exercising their First Amendment right to free speech. The ACLU sued the city to find out what was going on. Mayor Wellington Webb assigned three judges to get to the bottom of the mess, and they determined that when the DPD was setting up a new computer database a few years ago, untrained officers dumped information on hundreds of common citizens in with the rare actual felon. The resulting database contained the names of over 3,000 individuals and several hundred groups, some as suspect as the American Friends Service Committee, a recipient of the Nobel Prize. The judges recommended that most of those files be purged.
But before they were -- and at the request of the ACLU -- individuals and groups would be able to find out if their names appeared in the notorious spy files. And so starting on September 3, they could present themselves at DPD headquarters, fill out the "Request for Intelligence File" and wait while an officer went upstairs, checked the database and then handed back the form with one of two boxes checked: "a copy of the file consisting of ___ pages was given to the requesting party" or "the requesting party was not on the list of files due to be purged from the system, so no information was provided." A check in that second box could mean two things: Either your name had never been in the files and so could not be purged -- or your name had been in the files, and the judges and the cops thought there was good reason to make sure it stayed in the files, and so it would not be purged.
But it turns out there was another possibility: There was stuff about you all over the police department, and the intelligence bureau just hadn't been smart enough to find it.
Two weeks into the process, an officer discovered a cache of intelligence files that had never been catalogued. A tight-jawed Whitman moved six new officers into the bureau to search every nook and cranny for other errant information. And in the meantime, the DPD sent about 800 letters to those who'd already requested their intelligence files.
Lieutenant Judith Will, whose name is listed as a contact on that letter, has been working in intelligence for about six weeks now, reassigned from District 6. "The next round is reaching out to everybody," she says, "even people who haven't requested their files." People who received police honorariums, for example, who somehow wound up with the rest of the folks in the spy files.
At this point, nothing would surprise ACLU legal director Mark Silverstein. "First there was the fiction that everything had been put into the database and all the paper had been purged," he says. "Then on September 16, they announced the discovery of all the file cabinets of the allegedly purged files.
"We're interested in seeing copies of what people receive," he adds. "There's always the possibility that someone will receive the disclosure of documents we haven't seen."
Time to turn the page.

Remove Red Wine Stains From Linens
If your table linens are dotted with red wine stains thanks to a little extra merriment at the holiday party you hosted, follow this stain-fighting trick to ensure the mess gets properly cleaned up.
First dab the offending spots with white wine (yes, you read that right!) and let it sit for one minute. Then, immerse in cool water for 30 minutes. Spritz with a stain remover, like Tide Boost Pre-Treat Spray, and wash in the warmest water safe for the fabric. For best results, use non-chlorine bleach if the fabric allows.

Xbox Beats Ipad
Written by Pace LattinMay 13, 2012 # 9:29 am # Industry News, Specials # 7 Comments
MultiChannel News: Microsoft's Xbox 360 was the top non-PC platform for viewing professional digital video content and ads in the first quarter of 2012 — beating out iPad, iPhone and Android devices — although such gadgets represent only 4% of total online and mobile views, according to ad-management firm FreeWheel.
Xbox captured 28.2% of all non-PC/Mac video viewing in Q1 2012, versus the iPad at 27.1%, FreeWheel found.
Given that the Xbox has higher penetration (26% of all U.S. households, according to Nielsen) than iPads (15%) — and combined with the recent content deals Microsoft has struck with Comcast, HBO, Epix, YouTube and others — "it is likely that Xbox viewing volume will continue to increase," FreeWheel said in its Video Monetization Report – Q1 2012.
Microsoft last month expanded its advertising program for the Xbox 360, which lets content owners place 15- and 30-second spots in video content on the Xbox Live subscription service, adding ESPN and CBS Interactive's GameSpot and Last.fm to the network. The new ad features were enabled via an Xbox 360 upgrade in December. The Xbox Live subscription service counts nearly 40 million active members worldwide.
Still, non-PC/Mac viewing now comprises about 4% of all professional digital videos viewed, up from 1% in Q1 2011, according to FreeWheel. Moreover, monetization rates are lower on Xbox, iPad and other devices: Content viewed on PCs had nearly one video ad for each video view across all content lengths, whereas Xbox and iPad are well behind that at 0.31 and 0.40 video ads per video view, respectively.
"Video viewing volume on the Xbox and iPad may be on the rise, but the optimal monetization of these alternative devices still has room to grow," FreeWheel said.
Meanwhile, overall video ad loads in the first quarter showed no seasonal dip from Q4 2011, which FreeWheel said has historically occurred because of lower volumes of retail advertising and fewer product introductions in market at the beginning of the calendar year.
Another key trend in the first three months of 2012 was that mid-roll ads grew at a much faster clip than pre-roll ads, increasing in Q1 by 115% vs. 45% year-over-year, respectively, FreeWheel said. That indicates that additional long-form content is coming online overall and that publishers are making more mid-roll inventory available, according to the firm.
"The pre-roll was once considered the de-facto standard for digital video, but the increase in advertiser usage of mid-rolls is showing the high value of ads that live within pods between segments of professional content," FreeWheel said in the report. Mid-rolls now comprise 23% of all video ad views, up four percentage points from Q4 2011.
The data in the report is based on ads FreeWheel served on behalf of its clients. The firm served over 8.7 billion video ads in Q1 2012 and made ad decisions for over 11.6 billion video views. The report is available to download here.

interesting that IPAD has only 15% market penetration but was only a percentage point under XBOX for views.
This could mean that the future is bright for IPAD.

I'm a huge Xbox fan, and I can see why they have such a huge chunk of the market. I have both the Xbox and the iPad, but I spend a lot more on Xbox addons than I do on my iPad.

I never tried using both gadget, but I am quite impressed about this article, because it talks about that Xbox seems to be enhancing than the i-pad, maybe because about their feature they are not the same.

Any UK brewers here who have brewed good lagers without using a fridge? I understand that lagers should be fermented at 45-55 and lagered at 35-45. I live in a centrally heated bungalow. I would guess that the ambient temp. over autumn/winter is in the high 50s, maybe higher. UK winters aren't typically extreme. A couple of cold weeks near to freezing, the rest is rain! Any tips? How about bottling, putting in a cardboard box and storing at the back of an unheated garage/shed. Would that do the trick, or are the temperature fluctuations too great? The Germans initially lagered in kellers (caves). So maybe I should start digging! Mike
Mike 004, I was thinking about making beer with lager yeast. Have a temp. control for a used fridge, {which I don't have yet.} and even bought some lager yeast. Just waiting on cooler weather... The summers are sooooo, hot in Texas. These 'bomb chunkin terrists,' are everywhere. And now big ole storms are stiring up tornados, again. I have thought about digging out me a storm cellar, And a bomb cellar, But a brew cellar?... Hmmmm... A cave looks like a practicle way to: Roll them all into one, A multi-puropse cellar, or cave. Brew lager all year, not only in the cooler season, down in my storm proof, nucular proof, and hoards of starving masses proof, brew cellar! The fridge would be lots cheaper to run, down there. And if a tornado, a nucular bomb, or even the hoards of starving masses came on 'my '25' acres.' Looking for something to steal, I could adjurn to my 'hole', And with a few books, and enough ale and beer down there to last a long long time, with a gun safe, to keep stuff dry, I could take valuables, like ammo, rare books and pictures, my accordian, Hell, I may like the peace and quiet down there so much... I may never come out. J. Knife
I did a lager last winter and left it in the garage, but it get's pretty cold where I live. You might swing it the way you've described. I'd suggest possibly placing the fermenter in a plastic tub like a Rubbermaid and filling it with cool water, then draping it with a t-shirt to wick the water up and keep the temperature more stable. You'd probably want to change out the water every few days. Maybe even add ice (?).
I have to think someone has had good success with something as simple as a rubbermaid tote or a garbage can. It seems if you can insulate the outside of them and fill with water you could place a carboy inside and use something like frozen 2liter bottles with water to maintain the temps. It will be a little demanding but seems possible. I even wonder if adding some type of salt to increase the gravity of the water will aid in helping to maintain a more consistant temp.
Ray- You're on the right track. Everythig you said is a workable and often used idea. Necessity is the mother of invention and ignorance is bliss. I once came up with a way for one guy to do aerial cable TV construction alone, only to find out that they call it drive-off construction and that it was invented years ago. There goes my patent and prospective fortune !
Ain't he though ? Man after my own heart up until the part about the accordion. I'm a concert kazooist, myself.
>I did a lager last winter and left it in the garage, but it get's pretty cold where I live. You might swing it the way you've described.< I'm quite tempted to just pack a few bottles in a cardboard box with some newspaper insulation and then store them in the back of my external unheated garage over autumn/winter... Mike
I saw a thread on another brewboard (hint as to where it is) that showed a fellow that had cut a hole in the top of one of the Cube coolers Walmart sells so the Airlock would stick through. This thing was EXACTLY the right size for 6.5 gal carboy to sit down in. He filled it with water and put water bottles of ice down around the sides to keep temps lager like. PLUS this made it easy to move the carboy around as this Cube cooler has wheels on it. This sounds like a great idea to me. I dont have a lager or storage fridge...but I think I can afford this hobo hookup.
Studies show that three out of four people make up 75% of the worlds population.

Has there been a time in your life when you were so excited to go on vacation and then after a while were just ready to get back home? Well, that's exactly how I was feeling. In October 2008, I embarked on a new and exciting journey—but now I am certainly ready to go home. Don't get me wrong—I was thrilled to return to the homeland, visit new places, and see lots of interesting people, but North Carolina is where I belong.
Let me back up a bit and start at the beginning. I was hanging peacefully in my usual spot when my day was totally thrown into chaos. I was told that I was leaving for a trip, and for almost a year I have been traveling with an exhibition—Jan Lievens: A Dutch Master Rediscovered. My first stop was the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Then I made my way a bit west to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The last leg of my journey took me across the ocean to the Rembrandt House in Amsterdam. So many visitors looking at me and me looking out at new and different faces and spaces was a thrill. Now that the trip has come to an end, one of my caretakers from home has come to pick me up. She'll travel with me the whole way and ensure my safe arrival in Raleigh.
Stay tuned…I'll let you know how the journey home went.
This post is part of the series Follow Our Journey. Follow The Feast of Esther and six other works of art on the Big Move to the Museum's new building.

Averages for Lanzarote in March
Weather overview
In March, the average temperature in Lanzarote, Canary Islands rises from 18°C at the start of the month up to 19°C by the end of the month. Daily highs rise from 21°C to 22°C and daily lows rise from 15°C to 16°C.
In recent times, the highest temperature which has ever been recorded for Lanzarote in March is 32.7°C (March 12th 1981) and the lowest temperature ever recorded for this month is 8.3°C (March 1st, 1988).
March is ideal for holidaymakers who enjoy mild to warm temperatures and aren't put off by the chance of an overcast day every now and then. You won't need any more than a t-shirt, shorts and beachwear during the daytime, but you'll make good use of a thick jumper or light coat on an evening.
The average sea temperature for Lanzarote in March is 18°C. Everyone is different, so whilst some visitors might find this temperature to be too cold for swimming, others will find it perfect. Either way, it's the norm to see sunbathers and swimmers all over the beaches in Lanzarote in March.
During this month, the island receives around 14mm of rainfall divided between five days. Drizzle is the most common type of precipitation for Lanzarote in March, followed by moderate rain and light rain.
The rainstorm with the highest amount of rainfall which has ever hit Lanzarote in March struck during March 14th in 1995, when the island received 38.5l/m2 of rainfall in only 24 hours. Not surprisingly, that month saw the highest amount of rainfall since records began, with 46.1l/m2 across the month. On the other hand, March 2012 was the driest month ever, when the island received absolutely no rainfall at all.
The longest rainstorm which ever affected the island in March took place in 2011 and only lasted three days – proof as to how unlikely rainfall is in Lanzarote during this month. March 1991 was the wettest March for a long time, when the island received precipitation on 15 days.
Lanzarote enjoys an average of ten hours of sunshine each March, giving you loads of opportunities to work on your tan whilst on holiday.
Calimas and Siroccos (sand storms blown over from Africa) are a common occurrence in the Canaries throughout the year – including Lanzarote in March. Although these hot and sandy conditions don't pose any real danger, they can last between one day and one week and generally make everyone feel hot and uncomfortable.

Dates for the diary

Trofeo Sar Princesa Alexia is one of the biggest and most important events of the month, making it a must for any boat enthusiast.

Things to do
- If you're visiting Arrecife for the Trofeo Sar Princesa Alexia, make time to stop by La Recova Market. Whilst this market is great to visit at any time of the year, it's often busiest and has the most stalls when there's a festival or event going on, such as the boat regatta in March. The recently re-established market features a handful of stalls with artisans selling all sorts of handmade crafts, including jewellery, pottery, clothes, shoes, bread and plants. There's also a small café in the centre of the market where you can grab a drink or something to eat.
- With daytime highs of around 23°C, March is a great time to hit the beach. Playa Grande is the main beach in Puerto del Carmen and stretches on for over 1km, providing plenty of room for kids to play and adults to relax. Here you'll find soft golden sands, clear waters ideal for swimming, parasols and sun beds to rent, showers, changing rooms, toilets, vending machines, lifeguards and various water sports. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops in the area, too.
- Cloudy days are still a common weather feature in March in Lanzarote. If you're stuck for something to do on an overcast day, visit the Timanfaya National Park. Because the park has hardly any natural shade, it can be far too hot to visit in the summer months when the chance of cloud coverage is small. The Timanfaya National Park is one of the most popular attractions on the island and is made up of 100s of volcanoes and mini geysers. As well as wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere whilst snapping a few photos, you can also go on a camel ride to better explore the area.
- March is one of the best months of the year for surfing in Lanzarote, when the swells are consistent throughout the Canary Islands. If you're a beginner wanting to learn, or a pro looking to improve, sign up for a course at the Surf Camp and Surf School in Lanzarote. This company offers various courses for all levels and abilities, including beginner level, intermediate level and advanced level. There's even a course designed for enthusiastic surfers travelling with those not interested in the sport.
- Diving season in Lanzarote kicks off in March, making it a great time to book an excursion or course with a diving school. Safari Diving School in Puerto del Carmen is one of the most popular because it's the only one on the island situated directly on the beach. The school offers all sorts of diving courses – including BSAC, PADI, SSI and NAUI – as well as group diving offers, accommodation packages and try dives for beginners.

There's a great appointment for the Italian community on 26th of this month, the Gentoo Day.
I think we must find a solution, and partially we did, because we're running out of time.

The only doubt that remains is if even the "gentoo" text as written in the header of our site (http://www.gechi.it) breaks the gentoo guidelines, in other words if the "gentoo" text written with _that font_ is part of the gentoo logo (really similar to the one used on the gentoo site, but with a freefont as long as I've inspected).

Last, I wanted to donate some of my artworks, for printing purposes (posters I've already linked here, if you want I can reply) to the Gentoo Foundation, and let them be selled on gentoo store, what to do in this case? And what -if this happens (I hope so)- if we want to sell them too?

By the way, I really hope the modifications you suggested will be soon applied, I appreciate this.

for now, thanks for your time,

PROVO, UT, January 4, 2013 – When you get home from work, after you have peeled off your snow boots and multiple layers of weatherproof clothing, do you dream of soup? What about a dreamy creamy steamy velvety mushroom soup?
Although much of the country lies locked in winter's icy grip pummeled by nature's snowy violence, you can make a soothing warming soup to fight off the winter chill.
SEE RELATED: Recipe: A heart-stopping bacon appetizer for New Year's Eve
Fresh beautiful produce is hard to come by mid-January. Mushrooms never cared much for the sun anyway and right now mushrooms are looking gorgeous. In this recipe you can combine any varieties you would like.
Adjust the ingredients to suit your tastes. Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth or nondairy and vegan by using a cream substitute.
A few things to think about when making cream of mushroom soup: Darker mushrooms such as cremini, portabella, shitake, and oyster will make for a more grey soup. Some people will not be as keen on grey. All mushrooms turn greyish when cooked and white button mushrooms stay whiter than other varieties, but other varieties add more flavors and depth.
SEE RELATED: Powder at Waldorf Astoria Park City: French Alp cuisine found in Utah
This soup can be pureed or not pureed at all depending on what you prefer. Chives sprinkled on top are an incredible flavor enhancement and a vivid pop of color in an otherwise wintery looking soup.
Finely chopped green onion tops can be substituted for the chives. Grated parmesan or reserved sautéed mushrooms are also great garnish choices.
Serve this soup with crusty bread for dunking and sopping up every last delicious winter-defeating drop.
Cream of Mushroom Soup
SEE RELATED: Holiday Recipe: Homemade green bean casserole with onion rings
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 ½ pounds fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons sherry or apple cider
Salt and pepper to taste
Chives to garnish
In a large soup pot over medium heat, sauté onions in butter until soft. Do not brown the onions. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to low and cook covered for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove about 1 cup of mushrooms if you would like some mushroom pieces in the final soup.
Stir in cream. Puree remaining soup in batches in a blender until velvety smooth. Make sure it is very smooth or the texture will be off. Stir in the reserved mushrooms and sherry. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, garnish and serve.

So "justice" = "money"? I like this part: "Wealthy families did not file any claims in relation to the sinking of the Titanic simply because, in those days, people did not place a monetary value on loss of life, according to Crosbie." This is, of course, diametrically opposite to now, where thanks to lawyers there's a monetary value placed on absolutely everything.

It was approximately four months ago that I saw an advertisement in a Telegram edition (about 1/8 page ad) looking for names of people who might want to be a party to the class action suit against the provincial government in the case of moose vehicle accidents... I was appalled that a lawyer, of such impeccable standards would descend to such a level as to try and garner more respondeants to the suit when in the final analysis, he was really only fattening his own wallet with every claimant. In reality, he was asking Newfoundlanders to sue other Newfoundlanders because it would only be our tax dollars that inevitably pay if his money grab were successful... What next? If a squirrel crosses the road and a driver panics, is that yet another suit pending?? Oh, I forgot, he's looking to go back in history to suit J.P. Morgan for the sinking of the Titanic...Tough luck!!!

How hot and sticky is it in Siem Reap?

The Gaslamp is a great place to spend a day wandering in and out of shops. Many Hands Craft Gallery (302 Island Ave.; 619/557-8303) is a cooperative -- meaning the artists also work in the store in shifts -- of about 20 San Diego craftspeople who create pottery, glassware, stemware, baskets, photography, and stained glass. For women's clothing, check out Lulu Boutique (762 Fifth Ave.; 619/238-5673), with its Tocca dresses and sweaters, Susana Monaco Supplex sportswear, and Lonely Hearts lingerie. And then there's Shake Rag (440 F St.; 619/237-4955). It has a 10,000-piece inventory of vintage clothes -- baseball jackets, swing skirts, corduroy car coats, professorial tweed blazers -- sold to a funky seventies sound track. At the Cuban Cigar Factory, real Cuban expats use tobacco grown from Cuban seeds to roll cigars in front of you (551 Fifth Ave.; 619/238-2429). Gaslamp Books (413 Market St.; 619/237-1492) has an odd collection of used books and whatnot for sale.
Revive yourself inside downtown mainstay Pannikin Coffee & Tea (675 G St.; 619/239-7891). One of the original urban pioneers during the area's renaissance, this bright, warm, great-smelling café and brew-accessory emporium is where the natives go for their coffee fix.
a picnic in the park
On a sunny, 70-something-degree Sunday afternoon in January, I got my hard-to-impress best friend and a couple of guests together for a picnic in Balboa Park (visitors' center, 619/239-0512). As a child, I spent hours during school field trips seeing the how-science-works exhibits at the park's Reuben H. Fleet Science Center (619/238-1233). The park is also where I invariably fell asleep during performances at the Old Globe Theatre (619/239-2255). And, of course, there's the San Diego Zoo (619/231-1515) and the 1910 carousel. My friends were amazed that a quarter-mile from downtown, tucked away behind palm and eucalyptus trees, is a fun house of art and history and secrets.
We had two goals that day: to be outside, and to find the ideal place to eat our box lunches from Bread & Cie. Some parts of the park vary with the seasons. The 2,200 rosebushes in the Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden, for instance, which looked like nothing but rows of pruned-back shrubs when we were there, are in peak bloom in May. The day of our visit, we found our Shangri-la on benches overlooking Lily Pond.
After lunch, we strolled through the little cottages that compose the House of Pacific Relations (call the park visitors' center for more information), a veritable it's-a-small-world version of Asia; in the House of Japan, you sit on a tatami mat and drink green tea. We then headed to the San Diego Museum of Art (619/232-7931) and talked about men while we pretended to look at paintings. If we'd had kids with us, there's no way we would have missed the mummy exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Man (619/239-2001). Meanwhile, the lone guy in our group wasn't about to leave without seeing the Aerospace Museum (619/234-8291), which, with more than 85 flying machines, is an inspiring tribute to aviation history. As we left, my hard-to-impress friend said, "I have to come back. I could spend a whole week here and still not see everything." Exactly.
El Otro Lado (or, "the Other Side")
I was born in Tijuana, to a Mexican father and an American mother, so I'm always slightly exasperated when people say that Tijuana is "not really Mexico." "Tell that to the 2 million Mexicans who live there," I say right back. In fact, Tijuana is the fourth-largest city in Mexico, and the border between it and San Ysidro, with about 90,000 people passing across it each day, is the busiest in the world.
The problem is that the main drag, Avenida Revolución, is a bit of a joke. La Revo, as it's called, is filled with tacky shops, hustlers, and two-for-one margaritas. But if you're up for a little cultural adventuring and local culinary flavor, there is Real Mexico to be found in Tijuana -- basically anywhere except La Revo.
How to Get There
The rail route between San Diego and San Ysidro -- the last exit north of the border -- is so popular that San Diegans call the shiny red train that goes to the border the Tijuana Trolley (619/685-4900). Once you get off, follow the signs and the herd of people walking across. Taxis will be waiting on the other side. Many drivers speak English and all gladly accept U.S. dollars; just make sure to agree on a fare before getting in. I don't recommend driving, because you'd have to deal with buying insurance.
Where to Eat
A local friend suggested I try Cien Años (1407 Calle José María Velazco, Zona Río Areaf; 52-66/343-039; dinner for two $30; reservations recommended), a favorite place for her husband and her to go without the kids. The room is small and looks like a Cuernavaca cobblestoned-street café, with its pink stucco walls, bougainvillea vines, little archways, and dim amber lighting. The food -- new interpretations on traditional dishes and ingredients, such as crepas de huitlacoche (a black fungus that grows on corn) and cecina (grilled meat prepared with adobe chilies) -- is a culinary adventure, and is delicious.
My dad used to take me to La Fonda de Roberto (Sierra Motel, 2800 Blvd. Cuauhtemoc; 52-66/864-687). Throughout the meal he would point out, "Over there is the mayor. The guy in the brown suit runs the bullfights." It's that kind of place. La Fonda is well known for its chiles en nogada, which are stuffed with a spicy meat-and-nut mixture, covered in walnut sauce, and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. Because the dish comprises the colors of the Mexican flag (red, white, and green), you'll usually find it in most restaurants only around Mexican Independence Day (September 16), but La Fonda serves it all year.
What to Do
The Tijuana bullfights (Sundays at 4, May through October), with world-class Spanish and Mexican matadors competing at two arenas, still sell out every week, at El Toreo de Tijuana (Blvd. Aguas Caliente; 52-66/861-219) and Plaza de Toros Monumental (Playa de Tijuana; 52-66/861-510). They're gory and cruel, but they're also very Mexican.
surf's up, diva
My life as a Surf Diva started out as a pipe dream. I grew up around surfers -- guy surfers who made it very clear that they didn't want any girls taking up space on their waves. Which is why, no matter how much I wanted to be one of them, I never tried. That, and I thought there was no way I would ever actually be able to stand up.
So I was psyched when I heard about Surf Diva Surf School, a women-only school founded in 1996 by competitive surfer and local legend Isabelle ("Izzy") Tihanyi. I signed up for a clinic and headed for La Jolla on a 60-degrees-and-climbing Saturday. Our group consisted of several women from UC Santa Barbara, an engineer from L.A., an editor from Vogue, a woman who'd just had a cancer scare, another who had made learning to surf one of her resolutions for 1999, and myself. Thirty-two-year-old Izzy and her co-instructors, Cari and Heather, insisted they could teach us how to stand up and ride the waves. And indeed they did.
Izzy started surfing when she was six and put herself through college on a surf scholarship. Surfing is not just her life, but her life philosophy. After lessons about waves, etiquette (like, never steal another surfer's wave), and safety, Izzy told us how "the surfer who hesitates is lost. If you don't go a hundred percent for a wave, you'll get caught on the inside and you're history. The same is true in life."
That said, it was time to squeeze into a wet suit, grab a soft, skull-friendly long board, and hop on. We spent the majority of that day learning the pop-up, which consists in jumping from horizontal to vertical; and which, coupled with bent knees and arms out, makes you feel like a regular Gidget. On dry land.
Day two was big-surf day and it rained hard. The fact that all 15 of us got in the water is testament to the Surf Divas' contagious enthusiasm. That we stayed out there until our feet turned blue is due to the insane addiction of surfing. Catch a wave and you'll not only want another one, you'll have Izzy screaming what a "shredder" you are.
Afterward, we went to the Coffee House for hot chocolate. While we divas-in-training sat there, Izzy, Cari, and Heather let us know that they did not intend for us to just have a good time and call it quits. They told us how surfing helps you forget guy troubles, how even just waiting for waves is good meditation, how surfing is the best thing in the whole entire world, and how we should therefore surf from now to eternity. As if making Surf Divas of us all would be one giant leap for womankind.
Surf Diva Surf School 2160A Avda. de la Playa, La Jolla; 619/454-8273; two-day clinic $98 per person.

So sorry to hear this..
Aunt Mary is on a morphine drip and heavily sedated. They expect that she has less than 2 weeks. Still, Bill hopes to get down to DE to say goodbye. Aunt Mary, the only daughter out of six Irish siblings, was the family elder caretaker and the second Mom to all the kids. My husband feels terribly guilty that we did not get down to see her last summer. I hope he can let go of that.
In brighter news, Bill had an interview at a hospital yesterday. The HR lady asked him to keep the first week in June open. (New Nurse orientation) The job is in the Mental Health Unit. The Head nurse really liked his particular credentials and experience. One of his nursing school buddies recommended him.
WT. 219.1 Today will be my first official IF/DD. I am drinking only non caloric beverages until mid afternoon, then I will have a meal of about 500 cals. I would eventually like to do 2 of these/week.
All Star Band Practice today. We chose a name...Keep Your Day Job
Great news on the hubs job front. How is he feeling about it? I hope he can get to DE soon.
I am interested in hearing about how the DD's go for you. I am rooting for you!
P - I hope you know that I'm one of your biggest supporters (and a friend). I ask that you take a lot of care and really watch JUDDD/5:2. On the JUDDD board, there is a decent amount of discussion of UD/DD either causing binging behavior or significantly worsening things for those already with a problem. As much as we'd all like to lose weight (and I'm right there with you in terms of being willing to try almost anything!!!!), it is not worth your overall health.
So very sorry about DH's aunt. Yeah for the job interview. I will say a prayer for him. [I have found that professionally, who you know if often as important as what you know, for better or for worse.]
Thanks Ruth,
I'm not actually doing JUDDD. I am just doing a 20 hr IF day with 1 small meal. Tomorrow will be a regular lchf day which will be about 1400 cals. I guess I am doing lchf with an overall lowering of calories. When I do regular Primal days, calories will be higher.
I haven't stopped binging no matter what I have tried so this is just something different.
Your experimentation and determination to find what works best for you is amazing. You're an inspiration P
I LOVE the name of the band! Great name. lol
Bill: I'm glad he's finally gotten a hit in the job hunt. Hopefully that'll boost self-esteem and help the two of you appreciate each other that much more. Your husband and mine have a lot in common and we have a lot of up days and down days as a result. Hopefully this new job interest will create more up days for you guys.
I also wanted to say thanks for the support on my journal this morning. It really means a lot to know I have friends out there, even if they're hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles away.
love the band name!
fingers crossed for the hubs job. And yes that he can let go of the guilt for not visiting last summer and make it to DE soon!
My suggestion (unsolicited, so it is worth what you paid for it) is that tomorrow you not limit your calories, but work hard to mindfully eat lchf and stop when satisfied. Then you can go back to calorie counting the next day. I find that the day after a successful dd I am more aware of hunger and less afraid of it, so it is a good day to experience feeding the hunger so to speak. But yes the day after that is a dangerous one. rooting for you!

The Final Answer: A Tribute To The Legacy Of Allen Iverson
How quickly we forget. 36 years ago to the day, the legend of Allen Iverson was born. Only two years ago, the name Allen Iverson was relevant to the basketball world. Only five years ago, he was the icon, the NBA's ultimate non-conformist. If the Fab Five began the transformation, Iverson was its eventual monarch. But now he's a mere memory, swallowed by the unfamiliar anonymity of European basketball. Read More »

Green Box - the eco-friendly pizza box with built-in plates
June 21, 2010
Thought there wasn't much you could do with the design of a pizza box? Wrong. Environmentally Conscious Organization, Inc., (E. C. O.) has come up with what it calls the "Green Box" – a pizza box made from recycled cardboard with a perforated lid that you can easily turn it into four plates and a base that becomes a storage container for leftovers.
Clever design
It's nice to see a company redesigning such an established product. As the box folds down to half the size to function as a storage container, you might not have to rearrange your fridge next time you want to put your leftover pizza away. This, along with the other half separating into four "plates", gives it an advantage over other pizza boxes. E.C.O. also claims that it won't cost any more than a standard pizza box.
Recycled materials
Of course, the most environmentally friendly option for pizza eaters is to sit down and eat off a plate... or at least a reusable pizza box. But with literally billion of pizza's going down the hatch in the U.S alone each year and, according to E.C.O., around 70% of these being served in boxes, it's clear that this option isn't for everyone.
Tests have shown that if the original material used to make the boxes contains large amounts of "inks, adhesives and other substances", the food put into the boxes can be exposed to chemicals harmful to humans.
E.C.O. says it offers the option of using an FDA approved, environmentally friendly, vegetable based coating that can be sprayed onto the liner of the box or added to the 'wet' recycling process to make the box 100% recyclable.
Via Likecool.
Very little not to like here:) Even with anchovies.

Peter Martin21st June, 2010 @ 09:12 am PDT
I love this 150%! We do this anyway at my house, so it is nice to see a company being proactive in households all over. And the fact it doesn't cost anymore means there is no excuse for all pizza companies to adopt this eco friendly box!
Kate Thomas21st June, 2010 @ 02:24 pm PDT
Kate: It's a shame you didn't patent the idea first. Also I think you mean there is no excuse for all pizza companies NOT to adopt this eco friendly box! It is a good idea.
windykites122nd June, 2010 @ 09:27 am PDT
I am surprised this wasn't thought of long ago. I hope it catches on and becomes the norm in pizza delivery.
Gene Jordan22nd June, 2010 @ 10:24 am PDT
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?!?!?!?!! Pizza box cardboard is sturdier than most paper plates anyway!
Rudy2nd July, 2010 @ 01:55 pm PDT
Pizza boxes are such a part of everyday life. Seems like someone could coordinate a Green Challenge for other similar items and make it an open source/crowd sourced problem-solving opportunity.

"Big thumbs up from the whole family - including my superpicky brother who doesn't like anything. They were all devoured quickly.

"Very versatile base recipe. I planned on using pureed pumpkin, but couldn't find it in the store so I bought some yams instead. I boiled them and beat them & the other ingredients in the KitchenAid. I also added some crunchy peanut butter & oats per others suggestions. I omitted the salt as well as I didn't want him to have the added sodium, thou..."
"Yummy bread! Almost buttery or like a soft cornbread, though it contained neither of those ingredients! I left out the raisins & caraway seeds, but made everything else as is. I divided the dough into 6 and baked in a large muffin tin for about 25 minutes. They rose so high! Next time I'd cut back on the sugar as it came out sweet."

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Kind Love kindly keeping patients medicated
The only thing that kept me from going into Kind Love, formerly Herbal Connections, were the ridiculous ads on the former gym's building: closeups of a man's abs with text reading "9 out of 10 women prefer this to shopping" and a woman's-abs version declaring "9 out of 10 men prefer this to Monday Night Football."
Kind Love Phone: 303-565-3600 Website: www.mmjdenver.net Hours of operation: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Owner/Manager: Leif Olsen, Bruce Grainger Opened: February 2010, changed names in December 2010. Raw marijuana price range: $40-$50/eighth, $70-$90/quarter. Other types of medicine: Hash, hash oils, tinctures, edibles. Handicap accessible: Yes. (Handicap parking is in Homestead Suites lot)
Somehow the gym and dispensary were connected in my mind, and I wanted nothing to do with people selling me ganja who live for pharmaceutical supplements and Spandex. Ten seconds and a Google search could have proved me wrong, but I'm occasionally an ass and enjoy jumping to conclusions. Recently, though, a friend pointed out that while the billboards still linger, the gym is gone -- and I've been missing out on some good chronic.Google Image
Still a bit apprehensive about the place, I parked by the Petco and walked up the maze of stairs to the garden-level entrance of the odd little corner building. The lobby inside was quiet and nondescript, aside from the smell of cannabis blowing through the hallway. I checked in at a small receptionist area to the right in an alcove beneath a set a stairs leading up to the former gym before being sent through a door to the actual dispensary.
Owner Leif Olsen says he and his business partner are in talks about ways to take over the former gym space to create a cannabis-centric dispensary and coffee shop. But for now, the shop takes up just the basement of the funky corner building.
I was clearly wrong to have judged this book by its cover, because the inside was way nicer than I expected. The space drops down into a beautifully designed sunken lounge with painted white ceilings and wood trim that pops off the exposed brick and wood floors. Art from local artists hangs on the walls, and the owners have built a unique round bench around one of the building's support beams that otherwise would look awkward in the middle of the floor. I took a seat on a small red leather couch to the left of the entry and filled out some remaining paperwork while the budtenders helped out other patients across the room.
Olsen says that the shop started out as Herbal Connections and was paired up with a shop of the same name in the Highlands -- but as the two shops developed distinctly different philosophies and business models, he and partner Bruce Granger decided to split in December and rebrand as Kind Love. Among the differences: Glendale did not ban on-site consumption as Denver did, and patients would often gather in the shop's vaporizer lounge to hang out and medicate. According to Olsen, that relaxed, stay-and-chill vibe carried over after getting high on site was banned.
The bud bar is at the far end of the room, elevated from the rest of the space and separated off by wrought-iron railing. A large display cooler splits the wooden bud bar in the middle, creating two budtender stations. Herb jars are kept on four illuminated glass shelves along the back wall. Nearly twenty indica strains were on one side of a large flat-screen television that displayed the prices, while another twenty or so sativa strains were on the other. Spread around the room were various pipes and vaporizers for sale as well as a good amount of T-shirts and other swag. The shop also had a handful of concentrates on hand, though not as much variety as they could considering all of the different strains available.
My budtender was a soft-spoken, nice guy who picked up on my taste for herb quickly -- pulling more potent cuts like a delicious Tahoe OG, some deliciously sour Sour Diesel, and a not-so-sour strain called Sour Bomb that my budtender pointed out smelled more Afghani than anything. Everything he put in front of me was the best I have seen in a shop in weeks, reminding me that discount herb isn't always worth saving money on. My budtender also pointed out a crazy Purple Diesel that apparently tested at almost twice the CBD as THC. Olsen said the strain is in response to patients who have asked for meds that provide the pain relief without so much of the head buzz.
Farming is done at four separate spaces, and Olsen says his goal is to maintain enough product for the store while still maintaining boutique-quality. There were clearly strains I passed on, but overall Kind Love is close to reaching that goal. I tried not to take up much time, but I realized after about fifteen minutes of discussing herb that six or seven patients, mostly older folks, were waiting behind me. I apologized, made my choices and headed home to puff tough for the evening.

So I created a 8' x 8' raised vegetable garden. I used a good mixture of composted top soil, manure, and a couple large bags of Miracle Grow raised bed mixture, and tilled it all together with my existing soil underneath the bed. I have not got the soil tested yet, but by the looks of it I think I am in good shape. It is a very rich dark color, and seems to drain really well during rain showers. I have not planted anything yet, and don't plan to due so until late May. I started 2 (72ct) seedling trays in late November, but lost them all, because I forgot to bring them inside one night, and the temperature dropped well below freezing. I have since restarted my seeds, and they should be ready for transplanting by the end of May. Anyways, I guess I am just looking for any tips or tricks some of you may know with the raised beds. Not real sure about vertical growing to save space, since I am limited. I do plan on using a trellis system for my cucumbers, and peppers, but I am not sure if I can get anything else to grow vertically besides them, and obviously the tomatoes. I do appreciate any advice you all are will to share with me. |

The garden will get 8 hours of direct sunlight during peak growing time (Late May-August). |
Did you till all of the other stuff into your native soil or just layer it on top? I'm hoping the latter. |
Your bed looks great! Consider you may have a little trouble reaching plants in the center, unless you plan on walking through it. To save space, I would plant larger, trailing type plants such as squash on the outside perimeter to allow them to trail onto the grass outside your bed instead of over the precious planting space. Put all trellised items on the north end so they don't shade the smaller plants. Don't know what kind of peppers need to be trellised. The ones I've grown have all been bush types. Instead of trellising cucumbers, you could plant those on the edge and allow them to trail along the grass also. You seem to have ample space on the perimeters. Depending on where I'm growing my cucumbers, sometimes I trellis them, sometimes I let them trail. What exactly are you planning on planting? |
- Posted by chuckmaninohio none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 11:33
I tilled the existing ground before I put my new soil mixture on top, not together. As for what I plan on planting here we go, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Bell Peppers, Cubanelle Peppers, Brussels Sprouts, some Leaf Lettuce, Carrots, and Peas. My concern about letting my cucumbers grow on the ground is due to bad luck with discoloration, and rotting in the past, and that's why I wanted to try vertical growing for them. |
- Posted by chuckmaninohio none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 11:35
Also, thanks for the tip on trellising on the North end. I would not have thought about that. And yes, I do plan on leaving a small walkway through the middle for access to everything in there. I hate the idea of giving up that valuable space, but it's the area I had to work with. |
Yes, for trellising, you'll only have 8' along the north end. Everything else should be planted in front of it. That is going to be about 3 tomato plants and 2 cucumbers. Note that some of what you're planting are cool weather, others warm weather. Brussel Sprouts, peas and Lettuce are typically cool season plants (spring or fall). You would not plant them the same season as your tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers which are warm season (summer). |
- Posted by chuckmaninohio none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 11:56
Okay, so I will plan on getting my Brussels Sprouts, Peas, and Lettuces in the ground very soon. They are all about 3-4" tall now, and I feel they are ready for transplanting, but I just concerned about cold weather. I don't want to kill them all again. I will just keep the peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers in their pots until June. I think I will have to utilize some 5 gallon buckets for some of the bigger plants just to save space. |
When you leave that path in the middle in the bed, make it raised as well - place nice thick board as a bridge across your bed, you may put a brick or two under it in the middle to prevent bending. This way you are not going to compact the soil, while you walking and plants will use this space as normal growing space for there roots. |
one trick my husband uses is as he plants each plant he takes fish and cuts them up into little chunks and plants them with his vegetable plants. I know it sounds crazy but it works. All my neighbours and friends ask him what does he do to get his plants so big. plus after the plants roots get established we use coffee grinds and eggs shells which really helps them thrive |
- Posted by chuckmaninohio none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 18:12
My dad did all of that in his gardens while I was growing up, and always had the most beautiful veggies, and oh so juicy. Thanks for the reminder Autum :) |
- Posted by nancyjane_gardener USDA 8ish No CA (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 23:06
And that would be composting???? |
yes nancyjane it is a form of composting. Some use manure for it too. Your welcome chuckmaninohio glad to bring back good memories |
- Posted by courtneysgarden none (My Page) on Mon, Apr 28, 14 at 17:56
Next time skip the miracle gro - personal opinion - its not very natural. Your bed is too wide, two 4x8 side by side would have been better but maybe you can put a wide board down the center as a pathway? the whole point of raised beds is not to step on the soil which compresses it. |
I know those connectors you're using. Next year, separate the beds into 2 4x8s and you won't lose the space to a path. |
- Posted by chuckmaninohio none (My Page) on Mon, Apr 28, 14 at 22:40
Yeah it would have made a ton more sense to separate them into 2 different units. I wish I would have thought about that. |
Separating them is a great idea, but keeping the garden a few feet away from the house and out of the way of the drip line of your roof as you have it now is also a good idea. |

THE Rugby Football League has given its backing to Marc Green, the brand-new owner of Bradford Bulls, who today completed a takeover of the club.
Mr Green (pictured above), a successful local businessman who owns, manages and operates an extensive, multi-million pound business portfolio, this morning acquired the club having agreed a fee and terms with the administrator, which was later ratified by the RFL.
RFL Director of Standards and Licensing, Blake Solly, said: "We welcome the announcement that the acquisition of Bradford Bulls has now been concluded, a move which brings to an end what has been an unfortunate period of instability for a club that can now face the future with renewed confidence.
"We are sure Marc and his staff will receive a warm welcome from the club's supporters and indeed the whole Rugby League family.
"We would also like to place on record our thanks and appreciation to the official administrator David Wilson for the professional manner in which he handled this whole process.
"Whilst the considerable interest shown in purchasing Bradford Bulls meant that the administrator was unable to effect the sale as quickly as would have been ideal, the interest was also of sufficiently high quality to have provided some compelling evidence of the attractiveness of Rugby League clubs to investors and is a further endorsement of the appeal of the sport."

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
Australia is generally a safe destination with travellers enjoying unhindered travel experiences in terms of their personal safety and security. Our stable political system, well-maintained roads, low crime rate and high standard of health make it a safe and easy country to explore.
With common-sense, you can safely enjoy Australia's unique landscapes – from the vast outback to wild ocean beaches and pristine wilderness. However, as with all travel at home or away, you should observe the same precautions with your personal safety and possessions.
Here you will find practical information out about the health facilities and services available and website links for more detailed information.
A travel insurance policy that covers you for theft, loss, accidents and medical problems before you leave home is highly recommended. If you plan on doing any adventure activities like scuba diving, bushwalking or travelling in remote areas, check that your policy fully covers these activities. Remember to bring your insurance policy details and emergency contact numbers and with you.
Australia's public health care system is called Medicare and Australian hospitals provide world-class medical facilities and standards of care. The Australian Government has reciprocal healthcare agreements with some countries for medically necessary treatment while visiting Australia, however it is best to check your eligibility before you leave home and have appropriate travel insurance to cover your stay in Australia.
No special immunizations or vaccinations are required to visit Australia unless you have come from, or have visited a yellow fever infected country within six days of your arrival. However, regulations and medical advice can change at short notice, so check with your doctor and the relevant Australian Government websites before you leave home.
Medicine brought into Australia for personal use is subject to controls and must be declared on your arrival. It is recommended you bring a prescription or letter from your doctor outlining your medical condition and the medicine you are carrying. If you need to obtain prescription medicine while you are here, the prescription must be written by a doctor in Australia.
Much time and effort has been spent in recent years to ensure that travelling with a disability won't stop you enjoying all that Australia has to offer. If you have a medical condition or special needs, you will find plenty of services available. Speak to your travel agent about your specific requirements or visit the websites below to help you prepare before you leave home.
The Australian sun is very strong and can burn your skin in as little as 15 minutes in summer, so it is important to protect yourself all year round, even if it is a cloudy day.
The Australian Government has invested a lot of time and effort over the past few decades educating Australians about protecting themselves from too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, the major cause of skin cancer; the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia.
All Australian children now wear sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats to school; and many bathing costumes are now made using sun protective materials.
While travelling in Australia, be 'sun smart' and protect yourself against sun damage by wearing clothes that cover as much of your skin as possible, even when swimming; applying a high-level water resistant sunscreen regularly; wearing a hat and sunglasses that provide good protection for the face, nose, neck, ears and eyes; and sitting in the shade rather than directly in the sun.
Extra care should be taken in the middle of the day when UV radiation is most intense, and make sure you drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
The Australian Government's SunSmart UV Alert will tell you the time period when you need to be most careful and appears on the weather page of most daily newspapers and on the Bureau of Meteorology website.
Cancer Council Australia has developed a range of high quality, affordable sun protection products including sunglasses, UV protective clothing, sunscreens, hats, sun shelters, swim goggles, marquees, umbrellas and cosmetics, which are available online and from state and territory Cancer Council shops, department stores, pharmacies and other retail outlets around the country.
Most of Australia's population lives close to the coastline and the beach has long occupied a special place in the Australian identity. Australians love the water, and every day thousands of people flock to Australia's coastline to swim, surf, relax and have fun. But our beautiful beaches can hold hidden dangers in the form of strong currents and beach conditions can change dramatically for those who are not used to them.
Popular beaches are usually patrolled by volunteer lifesavers from October to April and red and yellow flags mark the safest area for swimming. Be safe and always swim between these flags and always swim with other people.
If you intend to go diving, check with a dive operator in the locality or contact the Diving Industry Association in the state that you are visiting for information on site conditions, safety regulations, licences, permits and diver rating requirements.
Australia's unique and extraordinary wildlife is one of our key attractions for visitors, but use common sense, and you don't need to worry too much about dangerous Australian wildlife.
Shark attacks in Australia are very rare. Shark netting on Australian beaches deter sharks, but you can further reduce your risk by always swimming between the flags on patrolled beaches and never swim alone.
Crocodiles live in rivers and coastal estuaries across northern Australia. When travelling near crocodile habitats, observe safety signs and don't swim in rivers, estuaries, tidal rivers, deep pools or mangrove shores. Also seek expert advice about crocodiles before camping, fishing or boating.
Marine stingers are often present in tropical waters from November to April. During this time you can only swim within stinger-resistant enclosures, which are set up on the most popular beaches. You will also need to wear protective clothing when swimming in these areas and always observe any warning signs.
Australia does have poisonous snakes and spiders, but bites are extremely rare and rarely fatal. When bushwalking or hiking, avoid bites by wearing protective footwear and using common sense. If bitten, you should seek immediate medical attention.
Australia's outback tracks are among the best four-wheel-drive journeys in the world, but driving in Australia's remote and rugged areas requires thorough preparation. Before embarking on an unescorted outback journey, check road conditions, ensure your vehicle is properly equipped and that you have a good map, extra provisions and an emergency plan. Make sure you inform someone of your expected arrival. Distances between towns in Australia are often hundreds of kilometres apart, so plan your trip accordingly. Be aware that mobile phones may have limited coverage in remote areas. If your vehicle breaks down in a remote area, always stay with your vehicle. This is the single most important rule of survival. Some roads should not be travelled unless part of a well-organised convoy.
If bushwalking or hiking check the length and difficulty of the walk and consider using a local guide for long or challenging walks. Check the Parks Australia website for the latest information on track conditions and hazards.
From time to time Australia experiences a range of 'natural disasters' including bushfires, floods, drought, heat waves, severe storms, and occasionally earthquakes and landslides. These events are often seen as part of the Australian national character and are part of the natural cycle of weather patterns in Australia.
Many Australian Government agencies have a role to play during significant emergencies. In the event of a health emergency, the Australian Government's Health Emergency website provides up-to-date information, important health messages, and health related response arrangements.
000 is the number for all emergency services in Australia. An operator will connect you to police, ambulance or the fire brigade. You should only call 000 in an emergency.

Joe Lansdale Does It Again: Jonah Hex's DC Showcase Presents Short Animated Feature
It was a great idea pairing Batman and Jonah Hex together on one, single dvd release. I don't know if anyone involved realizes it, but both stories center around an elder man, not meaning old and decrepit, but an elder statesman kind of figure, proven and tried and wise (or, at least, wise enough), trying to save the life of what is most symbolic about hope in the future, at least from a male perspective: a young lad. At least that's the way I'm interpreting it. (And I honestly think you might feel that way, too, once I'm finished. I hope you'll bear with me.) But, first, let me say a few words about what Lansdale has done in the exclusive DC Showcase Presents short (and if you don't buy the special edition of Batman: Under the Red Hood, you're a fool; it's only a mere $5 more expensive, and if you don't get it, you're missing an unbelievably great Hex story; but I've met you nuts before, so I know you're out there; just stay away from my Wal-Mart, okay?). He's encapsulated in eleven minutes a morality tale that highlights the same issue that drives the Red Hood story: retribution. Or you could call it vindication. Or morality. Or, you could ask the question, when and why is the life of one killer more valuable than the slew of innocent (well, in Hex's brutally wild Western world, the not so innocent usually) people he or she kills? Lansdale's very wonderfully conscious of this issue because he purposely places Hex in situations where he could rightly kill people in the name of self-defense but chooses not to do so in the name of an unwritten, never-spoken moral code. To wit, when a young man full of comeuppance who just has his body beginning to get its first trickles of testosterone and manhood decides to challenge Hex to a gunfight, and even goes so far as to attempt to draw on Hex (in and because of his inexperience, the pup never even clears leather), Jonah turns and punches him out. The boy loses a few teeth, but, in the higher moral order of the universe that Hex believes exists, that's better and more right than dying. And Hex had all right to kill him. But he didn't have to, and this boy's fault was being a boy, something that every young man has gone through. I did it myself. I'm embarrassed to this day with a bar scene of my own which will forever have the phrase, "The kitten's trying to tell the big cat where to get his milk." I could have been pulverized. Instead, I lived to see another day; a little tail-tucking was involved, but that was better than broken bones, burst lips, or black eyes. And that's the point here: the boy didn't deserve the ultimate punishment. That's, ironically, the same issue that Ras Al Gul capitulates to in Batman Under The Red Hood; because it was his actions that resulted in an innocent boy's death, he decides to make retribution, but saving him, he ultimately places the boy in a double-endimnity death by allowing him to be revived in the Lazarus Pit to, sadly, die another day. And the issue that haunts Jason Todd is why Batman allows the Joker to live to kill people another day. Anyway, I've strayed a bit from Jonah Hex. So, the Hex story is framed by the story of two possible mentors, Red Jack (a riff on Red Hood?) or Jonah Hex, for the young man who wants to be the next gunslinger in town. And that's the same thing Jason Todd is facing; he's had Batman as one mentor, but his hate for The Joker causes him to, strangely, become his protegee, even taking his Red Hood. Anyway, Joe Lansdale has created a morality tale centered around moral retribution in an eleven minute short. And he's made it damn entertaining. I find that kind of mixture in popular culture very significant. He's brought Hex to popular culture popularity in a bit over a dime what the movie couldn't do in nearly two hours. Where the movie practically ruined Hex, Lansdale resurrects him. Okay, whoops, with all this Lazarus pit stuff and how it turns out badly, let's just say that Lansdale spins a yarn in the classic Hex style. I'm worn out or I'd write more. I will say this: Don't you dare miss them Lansdale-penned, Truman-pencilled Jonah Hex motion comics. I've read them stories, so I already know: They're gonna be good stuff.
