Keep your kids healthy at school
Dr Cindy Pan shares her tips to keep your kids healthy throughout the school year. more
Are you recovering from a huge power bill? The good news is that you don't have to be an environmental scientist to save energy. You just need a few tips to get you started - and soon, you'll be saving on that annual power bill!
Look for signs that you may be using more energy than you really need. Leaving power on in unused rooms, soaring electricity bills and wearing shorts in the middle of winter are probably real giveaways! Cut a little energy and you'll be saving money in no time.
The article was written by Anne Armansin, Energy Efficiency Advocate for Origin, for Kidspot, Australia's number one parenting website.

iBooks: no iTunes when it comes to dominating the market
December 29, 2010 | 9:42 am
By Paul Biba
Publishers Weekly has an overview report, with the above name, on the iBookstore and its place in the market. Here's a snippet:
Not everyone is embracing the iBookstore, though. At this time Oceanhouse Media — the leading publisher of children's digital book apps on Apple's App Store, with the exclusive right to make apps of Dr. Seuss's work — is not planning to sell there. "We believe that in order to have an effective digital children's book you need a level of interactivity that cannot be provided for with iBooks," says Oceanhouse Media president Michel Kripalani. "Only apps can deliver this high level of interactivity, and much of the work is custom to each specific title."
Oceanhouse Media has sold more than half a million Dr. Seuss digital book apps since its first release (How the Grinch Stole Christmas!) just one year ago, says Kripalani. With 140 apps on the app store, it sells "many thousands" of apps per day, he says.
One reason: they're inexpensive compared to iBooks. "Personally, I believe that many of the books on the iBookstore are overpriced," says Kripalani. "Why spend $14 on a static digital book when you can have a fully interactive Dr. Seuss, Berenstain Bears, or Mercer Mayer book for $1.99 to $3.99?"

Morning Links: SEO for book publishers. Top 100 biographies to read in a lifetime
Weekend Links: Snow day reading. A day in the life of a devoted Apple user
Morning Links: Used eBook sales coming? In defense of self publishing
Also, iBookstore should have an app to read on a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Apple needs a webstore so you can buy without using iTunes. Prices are way too high. It isn't always possible to redownload a book you have already bought.
Amazon did it right right from the beginning. -
As an Apple user I am convinced that, basically, their heart is not in iBooks. Jobs has clearly not engaged with it in a serious way and until that happens it will languish.
It will probably always be true that custom coded, screen size optimized apps will provide creatives with a richer palette that is possible with ePub and the other eBook formats, that gap may narrow with the advent of ePub version three. We'll see what happens then.
But the larger question is whether a "fully interactive" remake of a classic children's story is really more engaging? Has anyone actually done any empirical research into what kids (not their parents) prefer?

Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Vines
Title: Vines for side of home
Answered by: Nan Hampton
Can you suggest a native vine for Central Maryland? The intent is for the vine to grow up the southern face of a vinyl sided home to make the home more attractive but also to provide some reduction of heat gain to the wall from the southern exposure.ANSWER:
Here are four vines that are native to Maryland and are commercially available. You can search for nurseries and seed companies that specialize in native plants in your area in our National Suppliers Directory. All four of these vines have the added feature of being attractive butterflies and/or hummingbirds.Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper)
Lonicera sempervirens (trumpet honeysuckle)
Passiflora incarnata (purple passionflower)
Wisteria frutescens (American wisteria)
Depending on how rough the surface of your house is, you might need to add a trellis or some framework for the vines to climb on (e.g., monofilament nylon lines attached to stakes in the ground and to the eaves of the house).

How to Eat an Entire Bag of Chips
Step by step instructions from Johnny Tubesteak of johnnytubesteak.com.
Step 1:� Find a bag of chips that your wife has been hiding on you because you cant be trusted with them.
Step 2:� Take the bag of chips with you as you sit down on the couch and turn on the television.
Step 3:� Mentally plan to eat a ridiculously small number of chips, like 3 or maybe 4.
Step 4:� Put your hand inside the bag of chips and let muscle memory take over.
Step 5:� About 15 minutes later, notice with incredulity that the bag of chips is half gone.
Step 6:� Be genuinely disgusted with yourself, calling yourself names like disgusting tub of lard and fat pile of crap.
Step 7:� Close the bag of chips and set it on the coffee table.
Step 8:� After approximately�5 minutes, begin reasoning with yourself by choosing one or more of the following excuses:�A) I really didnt eat that much today.� B) Ive been pretty good about eating healthy lately.� C) Life is�really stressful right now.� D) I coughed a few times today and they always say that you should feed a cold.
Step 9:� Reopen the bag of chips and insert your hand.
Step 10:� About 15 minutes later, notice that all that is left in the bag are crumbs and broken pieces of chip.
Step 11:� Lie to yourself and pretend that you are incredulous, even though you knew that this would happen as soon as you opened the bag of chips the second time.
Step 12:� Restart the reasoning process with both of the following excuses:� A) There is no point in putting a bag with only crumbs and broken pieces back into the cupboard.� B)�Once this bag is finished, I wont have anything left to tempt me all gluttonous desires should be forever eliminated.
Step 13:� Pull every last crumb you can grab out of the bag and quickly shove�them into your mouth.
Step 14:� Pour the remaining, ungrabbable contents of the bag into your mouth and lick all chip residue off your fingers.
Step 15:� Within the next 5 minutes, pass out as your digestive system steals all bodily energy in an attempt to begin processing the overwhelming task you unexpectedly assigned to it.
Step 16:� Find yourself awakened in shame by your wife the next morning, with an empty bag by your side and small bits of chip strewn across the couch, attached to your clothes, and nestled within your facial hair.
Step 17:� Tell yourself that you will never do this again, even though you know a statement like that lost all meaning years ago.
Step 18:��The next time you are at the grocery store, purchase a bag of chips�to prove to yourself that you can, in fact, eat only a few chips without devouring the entire bag.
Step 19:� When you arrive home from the grocery store, notice that your wife has hidden the new bag of chips because you cannot be trusted with them.
Step 20:� Repeat entire sequence.

Milborne Port Movies, in conjunction with Somerset Moviola, are showing the film "The Imitation Game" (Certificate 12A)
During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offence of homosexuality - little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Based on the real-life story of Alan Turing, who is credited with cracking the German Enigma code, "The Imitation Game" portrays the nail-biting race against time undertaken by Turing and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of the Second World War.
Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war and saved thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on.
The Imitation Game stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing and Keira Knightley as close friend and fellow code-breaker Joan Clarke with some scenes filmed locally at Sherborne School.

Milborne Port Opera is staging a new work by MPO member Neil Edwards, a talented writer, composer and arranger. "Spring Fate" is his third play to be put on at Milborne Port. It is comedy musical theatre from the Edwardian age at its best. Lovely music, great choral singing and some stunning solo songs from an award-winning company. It will also be very funny. Think a spying mystery set to music in Downton Abbey, with some "Allo Allo" and "Carry on" humour thrown in.The story is irrelevant (almost), but it concerns a gaggle of foreign spies masquerading as guests or performers at a grand country house party, trying to steal British state secrets from the aristocratic owners. Will they get away with it? Great characters, great music and a lot of laughs.The show is being staged straight after Easter. April 8-11. Ticket price will be £10.00.Tickets go on sale in March.

PoliticsGreek PM survives confidence vote George Papandreou to hold power-sharing talks with opposition after ruling Socialist party wins vote 153 to 145. 05 Nov 2011 10:03 GMT | Politics, Europe, France, Germany, Greece Al Jazeera's Barnaby Philips says Greece is now likely to ratify sweeping budget cuts demanded by IMF and EU George Papandreou, Greece's prime minister, has survived a confidence vote, calming a revolt in his ruling Socialist party with an emotional pledge to step aside if need be and seek a cross-party government lasting four months to safeguard Europe's new debt agreement. Papandreou won the critical confidence motion with a vote of 153-145 in the 300-member parliament early on Saturday after a week of drama in Athens that horrified its European partners, spooked global markets and overshadowed the Group of 20 summit in the French resort of Cannes. The threat of a Greek default or exit from the common euro currency has worsened the continent's debt crisis, which is already struggling under bailouts for Greece, Ireland and Portugal. "The priority is the security of the country, continued [rescue] funding, adhering to the debt deal and our continued presence in the euro, and all other initiatives need to avoid danger for the nation" - George Papandreou, Greek PM Evangelos Venizelos, the Greek finance minister, said the new government that will be formed would last until the end of February. But opposition leader Antonis Samaras, who had demanded Papandreou resign and a new government be formed that did not include members of any political party, called for snap elections. He did not say whether his conservative party would join coalition talks, due to be formally launched later on Saturday when Papandreou meets the country's president. "The masks have fallen; Mr Papandreou has rejected our proposals in their entirety. The responsibility he bears is huge. The only solution is elections." Papandreou's government came under threat this week, much of it internal, following his disastrous bid to hold a referendum on a $180bn European bailout agreement. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips, reporting from Athens, says the rebels within his party fell back into line - given the undertaking - that he would stand down. "Although he didn't say that, many people feel that George Papandreou will step down, because he said he was "not wedded to the position of prime minister" and would not necessarily head the new government of national unity. "This remains a big area of conjecture and uncertainty."'Governed without turbulence' Our correspondent says the other area of concern is the fate of the official opposition. "The New Democracy party insists that an early election was the only solution for Greece. "So by implication of the vote - the main opposition party would be left outside of this new national unity government - as they all voted against Papandreou in today's vote, it begs the question of: How valid is this new government? "It is a moot point and will trouble people as there is potential for more political uncertainty and a lack of consensus that will have repercussions that will be felt way beyond this small country. "Which is precisely why we are paying so much attention to tonight's vote," our correspondent said Papandreou told parliament before the vote that he would go to the Greek president on Saturday to discuss formation of a broader-based government that would secure the euro zone bailout, Greece's last financial lifeline, adding that he was willing to discuss who would head a new administration. In Depth Q&A: Eurozone debt crisis Map: Eurozone members Profile: George Papandreou Programmes: Buying time in the eurozone He warned that calls for early elections would be "catastrophic" and said Greece must implement the bailout plan to avoid re-defaulting on its debts. "We, the Socialist party deputies, carried the cross of reform ... But one group in parliament is not enough. This great task requires sincere and broad support,'' Papandreou said, stressing the transition must be as smooth as possible. "The priority is the security of the country, continued [rescue] funding, adhering to the debt deal and our continued presence in the euro, and all other initiatives need to avoid danger for the nation." Papandreou said his main interest was to stabilise the country's economy, and he was open to negotiation as to who would lead the new government. "We must proceed in an organised way. And regardless of developments, the country must be governed tomorrow without turbulence," he said. He was forced to withdraw the referendum plan on Thursday after markets and European Union leaders reacted with hostility to the idea, and his legislators and ministers rebelled and called for him to step down, accusing him of endangering the country's bailout. The threat of a Greek default or exit from the common euro currency has worsened the continent's debt crisis, which is already struggling under bailouts for Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Protesters opposed to the government's austerity cuts gathered outside the parliament in Athens ahead of the vote. "Some 3,000 demonstrators have come into Syntagma Square, or Constitution Square, and they are outside the parliament building which is protected by riot police. They are chanting 'thieves! Thieves!' against the members of parliament," Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reported on Friday. Through waves of austerity policies demanded by the nation's international lenders, Papandreou has carried the parliamentary group of his party with him, despite much criticism within the ranks, but defections have left him needing every vote to survive.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Premium room gave me wondrous views through romantic windows to the small park opposite and space to relax after a long flight. Gorgeous bath for my jet lagged muscles.
The room/apartment was brilliant, well equipped, roomy, very clean and well appointed.
The room was lower ground floor which was a big problem with the noise of the underground. Asked for upper floor room but no joy!
Great location Great and helpful staff
Room on ground floor too noisy, cold
Enjoyed exploring an unfamiliar part of London - beautiful location. Convenient for Lancaster Gate Tube.
Our accommodation was on the lower ground level and was very hot and stuffy.
i needed a copy from the invoice from staff after i left and i send an email to the account receivable and payable and they didn't contact me
Staff were very friendly. Especially that lovely night manager. Our room (203) was perfect for us. They gave us some free milk for tea. We wanted to check out an hour late (generally it's 10am) and there was no problem and it was free of charge.
-Paint works and smell of the paint. -They didn't give the room proposed here. No garden or city view. -No view at all. Looking to a small yard and you can see other guests' windows in front of you. -There is no mention of existence of lower ground. -Not quiet although they promised for a quiet room. You can literally feel the tube going close to you.
Staff very helpful.
Nothing really - room a bit too warm for me.
Great location Good response from staff to an issue
Tiny, Tiny, Tiny studio Bed right next to radiator - not ideal No laundry facilities available as ground floor being redecorated
Well equipped, brilliant location. Clean and tidy. Bed was very hard bit a bed is a personal thing. Needs better lighting in kitchen but I was not cooking so didn't worry me at all
It's a quite place.
The bedroom is too crowded and facilities are not enough.
Location. Fair price. Clean. Very welcoming.
- The little shampoo bottles in my room had hair on them! - The TV on my room's wall was not straight and I couldn't get it to stay straight! - Not straight forward paying by AmEx.
Staff very helpful, just ticked lots of boxes for a couple with teenagers
Window didn't close properly so a bit noisy
Pleasant and very helpful staff. Perfect location very close to tube stations
Very friendly staff Location next to Hyde Park is perfect
Booking process was very frustrating (I booked with the company credit card, which they didn't accept, while Booking.com did accept it) Shower head was broken (leaking water aside from the head) Way too hot inside. Difficult to lower the temperature.
The one bedroom apartment is spacious enough for a family of 4-5. The room is well decorated and fit for purpose. Location wise is second to none. Quite west end street with only 1-2 stops away from marble arch and oxford st.
The room service is only once a week. Should be at least once every 2-3 day
Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from Paddington station. Great if you want to use the Heathrow Express. Helpful staff, nothing too much trouble. Very close to Marble Arch, Oxford St, Lancaster Gate tube. Highly recommended.
The first ground floor family room we stayed in was close to an external vent, and noisy, but the staff shifted us into another room without any fuss. We turned all the heating off, as it was very warm.
Good area
Surprising planned my vacation 6 months ago n booked room 5 month ago but really bad on hotel parth to give us poorest with out windows room as if we have booked at last moment when booked premium apartment we expect window in room Very hard to believe staff at reception not ready to accept cash need only card for payment which I found first such hotel ie apartment where cash not accepted only credit card Staff should learnt more on courtesy whether Asian or black courtesy should not be limited to white which I found
The morning receptionists are very kind, help you a lot with lovely atitude. However, the night one is a man who just wanna do nothing, trying to say lots of excuses to explain his bad, what's more, fake attidute only when there's a elder person shows up. Never consider this apartment anymore. It's so difficult to find such a bad receptionist for this hight price rent apartment or hotel. The hotel should seriously think if this person is not suite his positon.

Chemocurl zn5b/6a Indiana(zone 5/6)
It's just something that is going to happen, since members don't post that their offers are closed, or those replies go unnoticed.
I just closed the 2 most recent ones in Big RED font so hopefully those 2 will sink.
It is pushing all of the recent posts down so we cant see them.
Feel free to start a new thread, maybe changing the subject line a bit, to maybe attract more replies.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Saskin Takes The Stand & Gomez Talk Is False
by Paul on 08/27/08 at 09:06 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Disgraced former NHLPA executive director Ted Saskin is scheduled to testify tomorrow on behalf of the NHL and against the interests of the union he once represented, in an arbitration hearing that has critical implications for the Rangers, The Post has learned.
The issue at hand concerns the status of drafted European players who do not sign before June 2 of the second calendar year following their selections. Article 8.6 of the CBA states that clubs lose their rights to such players if they are not signed on or by that date.
continued and I thought I would also point this out from Brooks in the same story…
Contrary to falsehoods circulating on the Internet, the Rangers have never considered trading Scott Gomez to clear cap space for Sundin. Nor will they.
added 11:38am, from Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo Sports,
Follow the bouncing B.S. ...
A hockey rumor "blogger," whose hit-to-miss ratio rivals that of a visually impaired Imperial stormtrooper, reported that the New York Rangers are going to trade center Scott Gomez in order to open up cap space to sign free agent Mats Sundin. The Vancouver Canucks were named as the likely destination.
This naturally sent places like the HF Boards into a speculative tizzy, because really why else would they exist?

National business
Accused fraudster Loizos Michaels has claimed a $3 million fraud case against him is a "beautiful set-up" by his enemies and a "corrupt" Serious Fraud Office.
Michaels, who is facing 31 charges relating to losses of more than $3 million, is accused of creating an elaborate web of deceit that convinced several prominent New Zealanders to invest money in outlandish schemes, including a proposed takeover of the SkyCity casino group.
Several Crown witnesses from New Zealand and Australia, including National Party president Peter Goodfellow and former All Black star Jonah Lomu, have testified that the smooth talking Greek-Australian said he was related to a wealthy Cypriot family that controlled a major shipping line.
In the Auckland District Court today Crown prosecutor Christine Gordon put dozens of propositions, allegations and statements of witness evidence to Michaels, to which his consistent answer was "rubbish".
Michaels was in a combative mood in answering questions and at times addressed other Crown witnesses sitting in the gallery and railed against the SFO's investigation procedure.
In one exchange Gordon alleged that Michaels had also misrepresented himself to Janet Jackson in order to progress a purchase of 12 apartments at Jackson's Sacred Waters property in Taupo.
The Crown says Michaels agreed to pay $12m for the apartments but wanted Jackson to make an advance payment of $360,000 to act as security to ensure the sale went through.
Michaels rubbished earlier evidence from former All Black Lomu that he was not aware his name would be used by Michaels to progress the property deal.
"Jonah was a delaying tactic and he knew about it all the way," Michaels said.
He said the sale and purchase agreement was "not real", would not be signed as a legal document, and was designed to stall the sale while Jackson got her business partner up to speed.
Asked by the Crown prosecutor whether he saw any similarity between the "payment up-front" deals he had done with Jackson and several other people, including Christchurch Casino chief executive Stephen Lyttelton, Michaels said any link was "rubbish".
The case continues.
