With the playoffs on the horizon, I wanted to put together previews of each series, but more specifically, I wanted to put together the type of previews I'd want to read. Bite-sized, few stats, and little splash of opinion for seasoning. This is my attempt at providing that.
1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 7) Ottawa Senators
Head-to-Head in 2013: Penguins won all three match-ups this season.
A stat: The Penguins have three players in the top three (including ties) in playoff points, which Sens goalie Craig Anderson posted a .950 save percentage in round one.
Goal differentials: Pittsburgh +46, Ottawa +12
Shots-per-game: Pittsburgh: 30 (11th), Ottawa: 33.1 (1st)
Shots-against-per-game: Pittsburgh: 29.2 (16th), Ottawa: 31.3 (23rd)
PIT: Tomas Vokoun: .919 save percentage, 2.45 goals-against average
OTT: Craig Anderson: .941 save percentage, 1.69 goals-against
Top scorers:
PIT: Sidney Crosby, 56 points in 36 games
OTT: Kyle Turris, 29 points in 48 games
Reason to watch: I feel like Pittsburgh so rarely has their entire team healthy, that we don't really know what to expect from them, but we should find out in this series, as they've finally got all hands on deck. That offensive prowess versus the Craig Anderson's amazing goaltending this year should be exciting. Speaking of health, the Sens finally have most of their team back too.
Lately: Pitt beat the Isles in six, Ottawa beat the Canadiens in five
PIT: 24.7% (2nd)
OTT: 15.9% (20th)
Penalty kill:
PIT: 79.6% (25th)
OTT: 88% (1st)
Special teams evaluation: League's 2nd best PP (plus addition of Iginla) versus league's best PK. FUN.
Injuries: Jason Spezza (back, but he's been skating, so who knows), and Patrick Weircoch (lower body)
First game: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. EST
Flippant barstool opinion: Clash between two teams that seem to be on the rise, should be some run-and-gun hockey, I'm excited for this one.
Closing thought:
I actually think Ottawa's tracking in the right direction with the return of Karlsson and Anderson during round one, but they're running into a fully healthy Penguins team that's just stocked full of too many weapons. As Scott Lewis said today on the podcast you can almost feel the Pens being like "fine, they'll score some goals, we'll just go get more." It's tough to imagine Ottawa being able to hang when their leading scorer would've finished seventh on the pens in scoring (behind Crosby, Kunitz, Dupuis, Letang, Neal and Malkin), and their best player is a defenseman who thinks offense-first.
Prediction: Penguins in six.

Please scroll down to see the pics. Photo-bucket must have moved the pics and they didn't show up here, although I could see them at their site. I couldn't edit this post, so I made a new one. Also Victory is Liberty and the one I labeled Big Daddy is 'probably' fragrant bouquet. I really should take a paper and pencil with me on future walks with my camera. |

Great post, thanks for the pics! The picture labeled Big Daddy looks more like the First Frost liner you posted below it or Sagae. Vanessa |

Really enjoyed seeing your pictures. That Victory does look gorgeous. |
Pretty sure it's Big Daddy Vanessa. The vein count is different, but they do look alike, I think they will be quite different in a short time. Thanks to you and to you, newhosta lady, for the kudos. Enjoyed the walk around. Jon |
Good start to spring Jon! And much further north, the 60 plus F warmth yesterday coaxed the first pips out of the ground. Lady Isobel Barnet is usually the first up and this year is no exception. She was a single eye in 2005, was split in 2010 and is a very respectable 34 pips this year. Last frost here is typically about May 20 so a few weeks yet to go - I expect the other hostas all to show in the next week or ten days. Doug |
Wow thanks for the tour Jon. Weather all this week should be quite warm so things will be happening rapidly here. Must get my camera dusted off! Jan |
Doug, I have all together too many spots that look just like your example or are still just dirt. Our latest expected frost here is tomorrow, but since the temps keep getting into the 30s at night, I think all bets are off for the last frost date. Thanks Jan, look forward to your pics. Jon |
- Posted by hostafreak 6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 12:59
Good to see plants come up up north,Jon! Yours look like mine did back in early April. Good to finally see pics from someone else! Phil |
Thanks for the pics! |
Thanks Phil and stoc. I am sorry it is still not straightened out, but I don't dare try and edit it. The last picture is Sieboldiana, Elegans. Jon |
Jon- I have this picture in my head of you crawling around on you hands and knees with a camera in hand. I totally understand your excitement. Sometimes I "caress" the soil trying to feel a hard little eye getting ready to appear. I discovered too that you don't want to ever edit a post with a photo in it unless you are prepared to re-do the whole thing over again. -Babka |
Babka, Luckily not much of my property is level so I don't have to lay down so far...usually, but anything for the better picture. With these 60 degree days, you can almost watch everything grow before your eyes. I don't know what it is with photo-bucket and me lately. It seems when I exit the web page it refiles the pictures and they disappear to another location, somehow. I think I am going to exit first, go back, and then go through the trouble of getting and copying the links. It still isn't what I wanted, but twice through the pictures and enough is enough. Jon |
Looking good Jon ! I love this part of the year when they are just emerging and unfurling. So much action happening in the garden itŌĆÖs hard to keep track on a day to day basis. Keep us posted as they grow on. :) Ludi |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Tue, Apr 30, 13 at 0:14
Yeah, I figured all those eye level photos had you down on the cold cold ground. Me, if I can pick up the pot, it gets placed where I don't have to crawl around. Getting too old for that. Jon, just about every batch of photos I take I have to make a quick trip outside to read a label or identify a hosta in the background. Sun glaring off the tags can be really irritating. And then I still have some which are reluctant to break dormancy. Someone (Gesila? Babka?) asked on another thread why I still had hosta dormant. I'll try to account for it in another thread. Not here. Enjoy your emerging beauties, Jon. Impressive! |
Ludi, I can now look out the window and see a forest of stalks ready to unfurl. We still have temps in the 30s, but you can smell the earth again. Mocc, I have no labels (far less of a collection than you) and I keep overestimating my ability to remember where each picture was taken. I can remember the names when I am at the location, but, one patch of mulch looks pretty much the same when I download the pics. Thanks to you both for the compliments...it makes the dirty knees worth it. Jon |

Yoga Aids Computer Users
Yoga instructors may want to incorporate traditional vision exercises into classes in order to benefit participants who work daily at computer screens. Computer workers who practiced yoga for 60 days improved visual comfort and reduced "dry eye," according to a study published in Head & Face Medicine (2006; 2 [46]; www.head-face-med.com/content/2/1/46).
Since yoga practices are known to reduce eye strain among people with progressive nearsightedness, researchers at the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation in Bangalore, India, conducted a study with employees of a local software development company to determine whether yogic practices could assist professional computer users.
Two hundred and ninety-one male and female employees participated in the trial. An office assistant randomly assigned individuals to either the yoga group or the wait list control group. Members of the yoga group practiced yoga for 1 hour per day, 5 days per week. Practice consisted of 15 minutes of asanas, 10 minutes of pranayama, 10 minutes of joint exercises, 10 minutes of trataka or visual cleansing exercises and 15 minutes of guided relaxation. The trataka included two sets of eye exercises: (1) shifting the eyes in eight directions, while moving an extended thumb to direct the gaze; and (2) looking at a flame at eye level without blinking, while focusing and defocusing their eyes. Control group participants spent an equivalent amount of time engaging in their usual recreational activities.
After 60 days, members of the yoga group reported reduced visual discomfort. Study authors suggested that these improvements were the result of an improved ability to focus while remaining relaxed, which may have increased the blink rate that provides more eye lubrication. Previous studies have shown that individuals blink more when relaxed. Researchers noted that a limitation of this study was that improvements in comfort were based on self-reporting, rather than on well-recognized objective indicators of visual discomfort. More study was recommended, since yoga could provide a safe, beneficial, nonpharmacological treatment for a prevalent problem among office workers.

This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):
Ten minutes ago, I woke up from a doze slipped into while reading and taking off my shoes. Both legs stretched out in front of me, I awoke with my right foot entirely asleep, as both feet rested on the seat of a folding chair. When I gingerly started lowering my feet to finish removing […]

MDAH Plans Events for Historic Preservation MonthMay is National Historic Preservation Month, and the Department of Archives and History will celebrate it with a guided walking tour of downtown Jackson, presentations at the Old Capitol Museum, a statewide conference in Natchez, and other activities. Architectural historians from the department will lead the downtown walking tour on Saturday, May 1. The tour begins at 10 a.m. on the steps of the Old Capitol Museum and explores the city's architectural gems. The tour is part of the international movement Jane's Walk, in honor of the urbanist Jane Jacobs. The Old Capitol Museum will also highlight preservation issues in Mississippi when it hosts the History Is Lunch series on Wednesdays throughout the month. Architectural historian Todd Sanders, Historic Natchez Foundation former director Ron Miller, architect Robert Parker Adams, geologist David Dockery, and Mississippi Heritage Trust director David Preziosi will be featured speakers throughout the month. The talks will begin at noon and will be held in the House of Representatives Chamber. The Mississippi Historic Preservation Conference will focus on the sustainability movement in historic preservation. The two-day meeting begins May 6 at the Eola Hotel in Natchez. Topics will include practical ways to make historic buildings more energy efficient, the durability of historic materials, and how preservation fits into the "Green" movement. The conference is co-sponsored by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the Mississippi Heritage Trust. Petitions, Protests, and Patriotism: Mississippi Women in Preservation, 1890–1950, a special exhibit at the Old Capitol Museum, will run through the end of May. The exhibit explores the impact women had on the early preservation movement in Mississippi. The preservation theme will extend into June with the third annual "Preservation Boot Camp," June 17–18 at the William F. Winter Archives and History Building in Jackson. Participants will learn how to put historic preservation programs to use in their community. "Boot Camp is an intensive training opportunity for historic preservation commissioners, building department staff, elected officials, and Certified Local Government Coordinators, as well as individuals interested in historic preservation," said seminar coordinator Michelle Jones. "There is not a more comprehensive training on the fundamentals of historic preservation policy in Mississippi than is offered at the annual Boot Camp." For more information about events scheduled for Preservation Month, call 601-576-6940. |

This is my answer to having a personalized guide book to Darwin, so make a cup of tea or have a glass of wine and start to get really excited about coming to The North… I hope the information will help you have the break of a lifetime! We do not charge or receive a commission for any of these arrangements. They are purely guest recommendations that have been successful for many. Our aim is to give you an overview of your choices in our lovely Tropical City
The Airport is approximately 10 minutes to the city and to all our properties.. If you do not have a hire car arranged from the airport, we will arrange a pick-up transfer for you. Taxis are often overwhelmed with lots of arrivals all at the same time and a transfer is an easy way to get out of the Airport! Around $65 - $75 depending on your arrival time and if you are delayed through customs.
We have many great Guest Comments regarding Darryl Window on 0417 832 836 who has a great hire car/limousine service. He is friendly, efficient and knows his way around beautiful Darwin.
Be aware that the Airport Shuttle bus from the airport does go to many hotels and accommodation places and may take a considerable time to arrive at YOUR destination.
If you arriving by The Ghan, a transfer is essential The railway terminus is 20 minutes from the city and you will probably want to settle in and get your 'land legs' back rather than wait for a bus transfer which does take some time after loading bags and waiting for multiple passengers to different hotels. This same situation applies to Gold and Platinum class and sometimes after a long trip and arriving at Dusk you do not need a 'mini-tour' of the hotels in Darwin Taxis are hard to come by simply because it is a 40 minute round trip and no guaranteed fares. Ask about our VIP Ghan package when you book..Darryl can be booked also for this trip. Nice to be whisked away!
CAR HIRE: Jamie at the Airport for Thrifty is known for his very sharp pencil when it comes to prices for vehicles. His number is 0408 010575 If you are thinking of having a car, please let us know as we can arrange a villa with a car. We call it our Villa Combo and it comes with a Champagne Lexus RX 330 and works out very economically for this level of class and style.
The first couple of days I would use to acclimatize to the sunny weather, enjoy the fabulous villa or apartment and make some forays out for the following activities
If you are travelling to Darwin in the Dry Season May to September, please note that most of the restaurants that we recommend (being the most popular) are often booked out in advance. Please try to reserve your seats early to avoid disappointments. I have given phone numbers where possible. We are also happy to make these arrangements for you if you let us know what you would like to book. It will save time for you and you can relax.
The perfect way to chill is a professional and authentic Chinese Massage in the vibrant Tropical Air It is guaranteed to have you relaxed in no time and the perfect way to unwind after trying to clear the desk. We have had recommended to us a lady masseur visiting from Taiwan. She is working at a local Chinese Medicine store training local people in the art of massage, but does a mobile Chinese Massage on request We can arrange this for you
All our properties are in the enviable position of being close to some brand new restaurants, beauty salons and other shopping opportunities It is the perfect solution to stay in an elegant and boutique residential luxury estate but be able to access some of the facilities of the larger establishments. Some suggestions for you follow:
Please note that South Sea Pearls Farms in Australia and Paspaley Pearls started in Darwin. Even if you are not buying pearls, it is fantastic to view the wonderful and beautiful jewellery in the gorgeous Paspaley retail showroom in the Smith Street Mall.. Do not be shy - the staff are friendly and you are more than welcome just to see the wonderful items they make without any obligation to buy.
Prices are surprising low and seem much more competitive than in the major cities.
Whilst you are in the Smith Street Mall, you can view Di Croco right next door to Paspaley and see the beautiful crocodile bags, shoes, hats (great for the racing carnival) and accessories made from this prehistoric creature.. Again something in all price ranges. Ideal for corporate gifts or a unique present for a friend
Around the corner opposite the park on Bennett Street to the Karen Brown Gallery to view her latest Aboriginal Art show –In the art gallery, casual visitors very welcome to browse although serious investors should be sure to visit.
Framed Gallery on the Stuart Highway is also an extra-ordinary mix of territory artists, glass and crafts, fabulous aboriginal art and well-known international - standard artists. See the stunning Geoff Todd that they have in the window.. Perhaps the new Brett Whitely?
Just opposite Framed on the Stuart Highway is a local secret the Warung BU AMYE - it serves only lunch and dinner and has authentic Indonesian and Timorese Food. It is good, very fresh local herbs, large serves, good value and run by a lady (Ibu Amye) who has been in Australia and the NT for 22 years. Old style shop, very modest decorations but an interesting change of pace with excellent food. Just go, no bookings
A 'newcomer' to the restaurant scene is the long awaited Italian Restaurant run by the famous local John Spellman from the Mississippi Queen – His new venture on the corner of Gardiner Street and McMinn Street is Spellman's Tramontana - Italian for the North Wind. It is open for lunch and dinner and offers private facilities on a mezzanine level (ideal for a larger special or corporate function) and a lovely dining room under which has had a great deal of time and effort spent on it Not too expensive and not too formal although it is more suitable for adults. 0889411123
Just a few minutes away at Sky City Casino are three restaurants worthy of consideration. For fine dining or something a little romantic Evoo has a beautiful verandah overlooking the sea (just for viewing sunsets not for eating) and has a new menu to celebrate its re-opening after the post Christmas break. The Dragon Court is a quite wonderful Chinese Restaurant. Ask for a seat in the main dining area to experience the drama of the sizzle dishes and see the mix of multicultural patrons that this restaurant attracts. The Italian offering is Il Piatto presided over by the Executive Chef himself so wood-fired pizzas, authentic Italian Food and great views over the lawns to the sea. Call 088943888 for any of these restaurants.
Owners of popular Istanbul Cafe recently launched this gorgeous restaurant onto the Darwin dining scene, and ever since it has been buzzing with enthusiastic diners, Eastern music and live belly dancing on certain nights. With characteristic vibrancy and flair, the owners have pieced together an exuberant Turkish atmosphere to complement their time-honoured Turkish cuisine. The decor is stunning ¬– marble flooring, dazzling chandeliers, artistic friezes and handcrafted cabinets It is in Knuckey Street in Darwin
Try the newest restaurant Manolis Greek Taverna in Smith Street up from the mall just near the Commonwealth Bank for really beautiful home style Greek Food. Owned by a well known local Greek family, It is casual and licenced and quite fantastic. Meatballs, wonderful seafood pasta, homemade dips to die for.. and deserts are really authentic. A nice change.. Buy a cute 200ml bottle of Ouzo for a treat to share and wind down Greek Island style
(08) 89 819120
I would have a brunch (breakfast starts at 9am) at the Cornucopia Café attached to the Museum and Art Gallery. The coffee is excellent as is the food and very reasonably priced. For lunch they do a great Energy salad as well as all the naughty things! You can arrange a table right on the sea which is both relaxing and very special. Again locally owned by Willie and Linda who are experts after 15 years or more..
Take some time to go through the Northern Territory Art Gallery and Museum. It is on the waterfront and has a very significant art collection both Western and Aboriginal, a maritime museum which is particularly of those boats involved in pearling and south east Asian trade ceramics etc.
Remember the Telstra Art Awards in August which is hung until October every year. It is our answer to a showing as significant to Aboriginal Art as the Archibald Prize is to Art in Sydney. Paintings are for sale at very reasonable prices and worth seriously considering. Most artists chosen to exhibit for this prize reach some great heights.
On display is a 17 foot crocodile called Sweetheart and lots of exhibitions including a virtual Cyclone Tracy exhibition and a display of the tropical interiors and house facades of the time which is fascinating even if you went through it! The sound of the wind is simply unforgettable. There is also an interactive children's room which means that Mum and Dad can have coffee etc undisturbed knowing the children are busy and amused. There are times advertised for the supervised room on arrival to the Museum.
Also for those who love a breakfast, the Roma Bar in Cavenagh Street was where Nicole Kidman had a breakfast visit when in Darwin. It is true that Nicole is a vegetarian and so had the vege breakfast made for her which was an omelette made with whites only.. Now you are up to date! And yes, she was with Keith. AND they were really very pleasant people and lovely to the staff. (That's the great thing about a small tropical town, everyone knows everything !) The Roma Bar is a bit of an institution, with people like Gough Whitlam in his heyday and a great mix of theatre and lawyers and business people congregating for great coffee. It is very casual, a little run down but if it was in Paris it would be very 'faconable' on the Left Bank The food is hot, is home-made and will fill you up ready for a day of exploration. And you can have fresh local fruit, pancakes, there is a great choice.
Another lovely place for breakfast is YOTS at Cullen Bay. No need to book unless Cup Weekend or Super Car Week Open for breakfast until 11am and then lunch and dinner If Evan is cooking as he often does on Sunday - watch out.. The full breakfast will leave you gasping for air (and full until dinner) and the Eggs Benedict are worth a try.. Again right on the sea but with an air-conditioned area which is nice as the weather can feel a little warm after a very good coffee or three
For those who need a little extra help with either Child-care babysitting so you can relax, or if you have an elderly parent or someone on holidays with you that does require a carer or some excellent company, Paula is your lady. She is a mature, well presented and very well known Darwin lady who has vast experience in caring. Her off-sider Bernie is a wonderful lady as well, and with exceptional experience. Paula helped me with my own mother some years ago. Mum had Alzheimer's, lived with us and on occasion we had P aula come over. Mum loved Paula and really enjoyed her visits. Our guests who have had her for one reason or another, recommend her highly – This might just give you a little break away that you badly need. Her email is email@example.com and her phone number is 08 89457774 or 0418 898870
While we are on the subject of care, there is a perfect place to hire all sorts of aids and mobility aids called "Keep Moving" 08 89475122. They are extremely helpful and if you speak to them about your requirements prior to arriving, then we can have the required item waiting for you in your accommodation.
There is a bus (One open air and one air conditioned) called the Tour Tub. For approximately $30 you hop aboard and it does a circle going from one attraction to another. You can pick this up in the city or at the Museum and go to the next point of interest and so on getting on and off as the spirit takes you. They go from the City to the Museum up to the Gunnery and War Museum at East Point and down to the Wharf All the attractions close to town. The other thing that I think you would like would be the underground oil tunnels from the War which is deep under Government house. You access this area via Kitchener Drive and you will see the new convention centre as well. This is the area in which Nicole Kidman was filmed for the movie "Australia" This movie is a must see before coming to Darwin. It is much more Top End than Hollywood!
For those who would like a swim without 'Sweetheart' the crocodile, we have a new beach called City Beach which is salt water and protected from four legged intruders, AND a wave pool (like a smaller Wet and Wild Water Park) in the parklands near the convention centre. Nice place for a picnic and ideal if you have kiddlie winks. All that energy is sure to be put to good use! As most of our properties are within a short distance, it means you can enjoy peace and quiet from YOUR accommodation but enjoy the 'let your hair down' style of the fun park when it suits you.
After visiting the wharf precinct, visit the Indo Pacific Marine facility which has all the tropical fish and corals from the salt water – a very good exhibition run by a very knowledgeable local man John and his wife Helen who serves complimentary fresh tropical fruit in season to his guests.
He also has a small café attached with some tropical light lunches. Of note is that Indo Pacific Marine has an evening Coral Viewing for the fluorescent corals that sparkle and glow at night. We call it CORALS BY CANDLELIGHT If there is a minimum of 6 bookings for the evening (and they do not have to be all from your group) John the owner and a great Chef has a wonderful Darwin fresh seafood dinner on tables on the lawns, fresh wild Barramundi – something a little different and VERY tropical This happens year round so fantastic for the storm chasers as well! Special dietary needs will be catered for with some advance notice. You can call on 08 89 811294
The Paspaley Pearling Exhibition is right next door so a great little interlude right at the edge of the ocean.
For sea-food while you are in the area, you could try Crustaceans on the Wharf. It is positioned overlooking Darwin Harbour and casual with a good menu. We do get good reports from our guests although the restaurant is not as acclaimed as Hanuman (08)89818658 The wharf also has an area of diverse food outlets similar to a the Street Markets of Newton Circus in Singapore and offers Thai, Indian, Ice-cream and good old fashioned Fish and Chips which makes for light casual breezy sea dining. On Sundays it is a local hide-out so you can see lots of people enjoying the virtues of cheap dining right on the Ocean with amazing sunsets and breezes. .
You can also visit "The Office" in Cavenagh Street, in Darwin which is a sister property to Cornucopia Café.. Good coffee, this is a trendy central position (Ideal after you have stocked up on provisions at Woolworths, just close by) Geoff Todd paintings and hard edge finishes make this an interesting architectural arty stop.
If you are going to visit our beautiful Parliament House on the Esplanade, just near the Government House and the Supreme Court with its exceptional Aboriginal mosaic tile floor mural, there is a very nice café. Very Rumpole and great service and food as suits our learned friends. And surprisingly well priced!
You could have afternoon tea in town at Duck's Nuts in Mitchell Street Darwin, next door to the Cinema. Duck's Nuts has an Austrian Pastry Chef (Kurt) and excellent coffee. A new secret: Duck's Nuts have attracted a new breakfast chef CHRIS with an excellent resume and breakfast is now a real feature. I tried his potato and rosemary frittata and it was very, very good And yes I did succumb to the beautiful Eggs Benedict, but if I am to believe local folk-lore, no calories in anything in the tropics. Chris was from the Saltwater Café, famous in Adelaide now we are lucky to have him here.. Please note if you need a birthday cake or a wedding cake, this is the place to go. Cakes are VERY reasonably priced and can be done at fairly short notice. I had a cake made for a guest for a 12 year old son with a red painted Ferrari picture on it for $45 and it was the perfect cake. Kurt is on (08)89415033
Hire a car and head off to Berry Springs – a natural spring and the Territory Wildlife Park – there is a train to take you around should you not want to walk too far. See the beautiful aviary and the tree-top walk, the aquarium with crocodiles and enormous barras floating above you, and the kangaroos, dingoes and buffaloe. You can take a quick side trip from there into Darwin River Dam, great for a picnic lunch but no swimming or water sports, just a view of the magnificent dam and the reason that Darwin never runs out of water. Our dam is currently 100.8% full.
Then travel a few more miles 'down the track' and spend the evening at Rum Jungle Bungalows, located at the Gateway to Litchfield National Park. Accommodation in the park area can be a bit lack-lustre so we recommend using Rum Jungle as a worthy affordable base. Sue Mornane, the owner of these quaint, eclectic tropical cabins (6 in total) is a local historian and she has wonderful 'secret' places that most tourists do not find. She will give you a mud map of the best of them and away you go!! Her guests always see fantastic things. Her number is 89760555 www.rumjunglebungalows.com.au
Do the bed and breakfast package which is very reasonably priced Sue makes wonderful coffee in the middle of the jungle so a great good value place to know about.. And right next door is the Butterfly Farm. View the butterflies, but with Rum Jungle next door, you do not need to stay. Spend the day in Litchfield Park at the fantastic waterfalls and termite mounds etc.
Return to Rum Jungle for another night.
In Batchelor village, there is a great little tavern with big country steaks and a great cook in the kitchen. The old-fashioned kind, hot fresh food and great chips (and they are those special tropical kind with no calories! And yes, you can have some vegetarian options as well.
You can book Tess from NT Indigenous Tours from here for her tour of Litchfield as well. She will pick you up..
Next day early off to Katherine to do the early morning Gorge Trip. (must be in Katherine at 8.30am to get on the 9am boat. Can be too hot later in the day) Most of our guests prefer not to stay in Katherine.
On the way back visit the Adelaide River War Cemetery which is fantastic, very beautiful gardens and an amazing insight into the invasion of Northern Australia.
Unbelievably Darwin and surrounds was bombed more heavily than Pearl Harbour (and by the same Squadron Leader who led that attack) A part of Australia's history that is not well known. If you see or have seen the MUST SEE movie "Australia", the scenes of the bombing of Darwin are not exaggerated, they are not even the half of it. In fact the whole movie is a fair representation – and of our men – very Hugh Jackman (I said that for my husband !) and our life up here in the North. Make the time to see this epic movie before arriving, you will have a great feel and a better understanding of the tropics, its adventures, hardships and delights.
Have Lunch at the Adelaide River Pub with fresh barramundi and chips. Back to the cool of Rum Jungle or carry on back to Darwin.
Something a little special and a great deal different is the Kakadu Culture Camp run by the inimitable traditional owner Jenny Hunter and her partner Andy Ralph. What a trip! Awarded just recently by the prestigious Australian Gourmet Traveller, this trip is one which really brings home over a few days the different ways in which our Aboriginal Culture has evolved and survived. Voted by Australian Gourmet Traveller readers and presented in Sydney on 27 May 2010, Kakadu Culture Camp claimed victory in theIndigenous category for providing Australian travellers with an outstanding local holiday experience. It is a trip that does challenge and inform so worth considering. www.kakaduculturecamp.com
This is a brief idea of things to do but I am more than happy to help you with even more.. There is so much to do up here including having a well-earned break The locals are a pretty friendly bunch, everyone feels that they have places that must be seen, so do not be shy to just ask a local. We think it is the relaxed tropical air that makes the difference. If you come up all stressed and hyper, a day or so in Manyana Land will see you as chilled as if you have been away for weeks.

Acer Chromebook 13 review
The Acer Chromebook 13 is the first Chrome OS laptop to use Nvidia's energy-efficient Tegra processor.
The Acer Chromebook 13 is the first Chrome OS laptop to use Nvidia's energy-efficient Tegra processor.
Acer wants you to be able to buy your child a sturdy laptop you won't have to replace in a year. The Chromebook C740 might just be the one.
Acer's TravelMate B115 looks to undercut the world of 11" models with price, portability, touch and nothing else.
Acer's Aspire E5-551 looks to pull ahead of the competition using AMD's latest APU.
The Aspire Switch 10 is an affordable hybrid tablet, powered by an Intel Atom processor, with a detachable keyboard dock.
The Acer Aspire S3 is a slim and light laptop with Ultrabook styling – but it doesn't cost a scary amount while also fitting in a dedicated GPU.
Acer is back in the gaming laptop scene in a big (15-inch or 17-inch) way with the Aspire V Nitro series.
UpdatedBarely a gaming laptop and barely an Ultrabook, is the Acer Aspire V7 the product of a giant identity crisis?

Interesting... but I would not recommend using a spray bottle to apply it to the infected mold area.
QUESTIONS: Without a microscope, have you ever seen a single mold "spore" just sitting there? Of course you haven't. When you are looking at mold that needs to be treated, you are looking at TRILLIONS of mold spores just sitting there.
A mold spore is like a seed. One mold spore relocated to another environment that will allow it to grow will do just that, it will grow.
Back to my point... "I would not recommend using a spray bottle to apply it to the infected mold area." When you use a spray bottle (or worse, a bug sprayer), every time you squeeze the trigger and a burst of vaporized liquid moves from the nozzle toward the mold infected area, the air being pushed by the moving (pressurized) spray is blowing millions of mold spores causing them to go airborne. We then breath them in, they get into our eyes AND they land in other areas that currently is not infected, but could be infected if the environment that it needs to start growing again is right.
Mold mitigation is much like putting out a fire! What does a fire need to burn? Heat, Fuel, and Oxygen. Take one of those things away and fire can not exist. Mold is similar in that it meeds, mold spores, food (such as drywall, wood, paper etc. etc. etc.) and MOISTURE. Take one of those things away and mold growth can not exist.
I hope this has been helpful... I just wanted to put in my two cents regarding mold mitigation.

This is so comfortable. I searched and searched for a chair. It had to be one that swivels and either rocked or glided. I got the swivel/glider. It's not a show piece but I'd take the comfort of it any day over showmanship. It glides smoothly (I had a rocker for years) and the swivel is better than sliced bread. I'm an older woman with health issues and use it as my "woman-cave" chair. I watch TV, read and generally relax in it. I can see where this would be wonderful for new mothers too. By the way, I got the microfiber Taupe and do like it a lot. If you want comfort and a small area to place it in, this is it!!

I have this chair at my daughter's nursery. I ordered it with the bliss ivory fabric and it's stunning. It does get dirty pretty fast and it's hard to clean. I have to use the stain remover spray and just try to wipe it clean with a rag.. It's very comfortable and i have received plenty of compliments. It's on the smaller side which i love because it's not taking that much space. And like the other review mentioned, it costs a bit more than an average glider but it is beautiful, those other gliders can't even compare to this one. This is a glider AND a decoration piece !

I will be using this chair to feed my baby and rock my baby. I love it because it is a real chair and not like the ugly gliders out there that cost just as much. The wheat color was much lighter than I anticipated but it still is gorgeous. I'm very happy with my purchase even if it was a bit above budget.

On April 10, 1889, Samuel Langhorne Clemens wrote this one-page letter in response to an invitation to speak at the University of Missouri. Walter Williams, founder of the university's journalism school, had attempted to arrange an appearance by Clemens and Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Clemens, who was living in Hartford, Connecticut, and engaged in several pursuits, declined. Using characteristic humor and knowledge gained during a recent visit to Thomas A. Edison's laboratory in New Jersey, Clemens quipped: "While Watterson, by himself, is a useless carbon loop, & I, by myself, am a useless wire, we are an electric light when we combine."

In the year AD 2006, the Helic Republic, Zenebas Empire and Guylos Empire decided to sign a peace treaty and work together to save a dying breed of ZOIDS Community in Singapore. A lethal concoction known as ZoidsPoison.com was formulated by the General APM of the Helic Republic to "poison" the homo sapiens, the only extended species of the primate family Hominidae to start loving and buying zoids.
The ZoidsPoison website was created to reach out to all Zoiders and toy lovers both in Singapore and overseas. It aims to be a useful and entertaining way for one to get to know ZOIDS and will feature information on the latest news of ZOIDS merchandise and events.
We welcome all contributions of articles and commentaries for this site from our readers. If you have comments, suggestions or contributions, please write to us at email@example.com.
Realizing My Dream, Your Dream
It has not been easy for the past 3 - 4 months. I had to juggle between work, family and wallet to get this website up and going. I have been searching for a long time for a dedicated One-Stop ZOIDS website in ENGLISH with a discussion forum in Singapore for a long time before deciding to start on one.
ZOIDS community is rather small in Singapore. But it is still a sizable force to be reckoned with. However, many Zoiders prefer to remain anonymous for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reasons may be, we welcome you to contribute actively to this site without inhibitions.
Many of us don't really like to be bound by too many rules and regulations. Zoidspoison forum will not be restricted to purely constructive posts. Zoiders like to hear personal comments and opinions on ZOIDS. As long as you are not a flamer or a troller who post questionable threads, we welcome you to poison us with your ZOIDS knowledge.
Make a ZOIDS friend first. Buy a ZOIDS toy later.

My daughter is moving from the Midwest to a small (maybe 3-400 sq ft) apartment in NYC. It doesn't have a closet, just a small storage unit under a bed loft that she hopes to put a rod in. Anyone have suggestions for an online source for a great wardrobe or wall unit with either doors or an area for baskets. She's been looking online at various places (Crate & Barrel, West Elm, and others), but I thought I'd see if anyone here had actual experience in purchasing anything like this. |

Try Ikea. They have a lot of closet inserts, wardrobes, etc. |

NYC is undoubtedly expensive, but you don't know until you ask. I called a number of local closet guys (not the sleek 'Classy Closet' type folks--they are expensive) real, local small business owners. I got custom closets throughout my house and they were about 10% cheaper than IKEA and I didn't have to put them together, haul cumbersome boxes, etc... Some contractors don't like to play the game, but I give everyone a sample size and ask them to quote me a price over the phone. I've already figured out what IKEA will cost me, so I waste a couple of hours on the phone (put on a phone headset and clean my toilets at the same time, so really, I'm out nothing.) You come up with an interesting price, I'll have you come out and give me an in home estimate. In the closet instance, it really came out to my advantage to use local folks. |
Gothic Cabinet Craft. They have a number of stores in NYC. |
Thanks for the replies. Initially we'd both thought IKEA; however she's trying to buy things here in the midwest & have them shipped to NY (new employer paying for moving). There is no IKEA remotely close to where we're at in the midwest and it can't be ordered online. Contacting a "closet" type place could be a possibility but she's concerned about the time to make the contacts & meet w/ salespeople. She's just out of Law School & starting with a firm so she's anticipating minimum 12-15 hour work days. The Gothic Cabinet Craft site looked interesting. She's been looking online & found a few more trendy/contemporary items she likes from Thomasville available through a local furniture dealer. I do appreciate everyone's responses. |
I was surprised at the lack of closet space when I moved to NY from Chicago. I ended up buying an amoire. If you're near Chicago, there are plenty of furniture outlets that have great ones. Crate & Barrel, Carson's and Macy's are all in Naperville (about 45 min. west of Chicago). |

Hi, I have found a wardrobe closet especially designed for small spaces. But I'm not sure if this is available in your place, but anyway I will still attach the link for you to see if this is the one that you're looking for. |

Congressional Report: For-Profits Are a Bad Deal for Students and Taxpayers
A new congressional report confirms what many have long known: for-profit higher education companies are looking out for their wallets, not their students. Students are amassing high levels of debt to attend these institutions, but too many receive only worthless credentials or no credentials at all. Instead of focusing on improving these troubling statistics through better instruction, the congressional study shows these companies are spending larger portions of their revenue on marketing, and lobbying to protect their lucrative business model.
The report, released by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), is the result of a two-year investigation and highlights many troubling aspects of the for-profit industry. For instance, students enrolling in four-year for-profits face only a 28 percent chance of graduation. And 46 percent of these students take out private education loans (compared with only 9 percent of students at public institutions). The combination of low graduation rates and high student loan debt is a dangerous mix and may explain why the industry is responsible for nearly half of all student loan defaults, even though it enrolls only 13 percent of college students.
Judging by how they spend their money, these companies clearly prioritize the good of their shareholders over that of their students. The study found they spend nearly 23 percent of revenue on marketing, 19 percent on profits, and only 17 percent on instruction. In 2010, these companies received 25 percent of all student-aid funding spent by the U.S. Department of Education. Exploiting the 90-10 loophole, they aggressively recruit veterans in order to capture their education benefits. And their efforts are paying off: 37 percent of post-9/11 GI Bill funds and half of Defense Tuition Assistance benefits now go to for-profit companies. It is estimated that in 2010, 82 percent ($32 billion) of the revenue taken in by the for-profit companies investigated came from taxpayer funds.
The results of the congressional investigation prove that for-profit companies are a bad investment for students and taxpayers. The report urges the federal government take several important steps toward protecting students from the for-profit industry, including reducing the amount of revenue the companies can pull from federal sources back to 85 percent; banning their use of federal dollars for marketing, recruitment, and lobbying; and setting minimum standards for student outcomes. It is crucial that we hold these companies accountable for the results they deliver to our students.
