This is actually fairly old news, but since it's never been discussed here as far as I know and recently resurfaced, I thought I should share the news.
First article of him directing: http://www.variety.com/article/VR111799 ... id=13&cs=1
Article about screenwriter being attached: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=57499
Article about Emmerich's challenges in a Foundation movie:
http://io9.com/5378571/director-emmeric ... foundation
I'm a huge Isaac Asimov fan, as the signature implies, and I'm really not sure how to feel about this. The Good Doctor hasn't had a good track record when it comes to film adaptations. The Nightfall movie didn't care about faithfulness at all. The Bicentennial Man movie, while enjoyable and fairly faithful, couldn't decide if it wanted to be a normal Robin Williams comedy or a tearjerking drama film (it did not help that Disney advertised it as a full comedy. I had yet to discover Asimov when I saw the movie, and was...surprised, to say the least). And the less said about the I, Robot movie, the better.
Now, on one hand, Emmerich claims to be an Asimov fan and that he was disappointed by the I, Robot movie, and wishes to make the movie as faithful as possible. There's also a competent screenwriter attached.
On the other hand, this is Roland Emmerich! He's practically famous for not caring about being scientifically or historically accurate. I know you can't expect perfect factual accuracy from movies, but sometimes I feel Emmerich deliberately goes out of his way to get things wrong. (Mammoths building pyramids?) So him directing an adaptation of a book that's both a work of hard science fiction and a giant historical allegory doesn't bode well. Not to mention the Foundation series has generally been regarded as unfilmable simply because of the huge timespan it covers. The first book alone (and Emmerich says he wants to make a trilogy out of the first three books) covers 197 years with four different main characters. How can Emmerich handle the complex mythology of Foundation when he couldn't even handle the complex mythology of Godzilla?!
But it can go either way. I guess we have no choice but to wait for more information. Can I hear some opinions from other Asimovians, though?

4 Tech Stocks Under $10 to Watch
DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>5 Big Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today. Advanced Micro Devices Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD) is a semiconductor company with manufacturing, research and development, and sales and administrative facilities throughout the world. It provides processing solutions for the computing and graphics markets. This stock closed flat at $3.90 in Thursday's trading session. Thursday's Range: $3.86-$3.9452-Week Range: $1.81-$4.65
Thursday's Volume: 25.48 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 29.35 million From a technical perspective, AMD moved slightly off its intraday low of $3.86 and right above its 50-day moving average of $3.71 with decent upside volume. This stock has been trending sideways inside of a consolidation chart pattern for the last month, with shares moving between $3.69 on the downside and $4 on the upside. Shares of AMD are now starting to move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above the upper-end of its recent sideways trading chart pattern. That breakout will hit if AMD manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.98 to $4 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in AMD as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $3.71 or above more support at $3.69 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 29.35 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then AMD will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from July that started at $4.65. Any high-volume move above $4.65 will then give AMD a chance to tag $5 to $5.50.

Oh my, oh my. There is no use trying to hide it, this was meant to be a roulade - a chocolate and lime curd roulade! My attempt at rolling the sponge was an unmitigated disaster. It was my turn for a sinking heart when I found out what Chele had chosen for this month's We Should Cocoa challenge - to make a Swiss roll type cake. These are not my forte by any means. Out of the three roulades I've made, I have been slowly improving, but I seem to have regressed with this one: this is the worst I've done yet and just when I wanted to impress most too. There were a number of factors that contributed to the mess, chief amongst them being my limited patience. However, I think I undercooked the sponge a little and I just didn't make enough of the mixture to fill the tin properly. I was trying to make a sponge that wasn't too thick and therefore easier to roll - ha!
Luckily, where this has failed on the all important visual factor, it succeeded hugely on the even more important one of taste. Forget this as cake, it was a delicious and decadent dessert which CT and I mmmmd and ahhhd our way through with silly expressions of pleasure on our faces.
You may not want to emulate me here, but this is how I did it.
- Melted 50g 70% dark chocolate over a bowl of hot water with 1 tbsp of lime juice.
- Removed from the heat and left to cool.
- Beat 2 duck egg yolks with 60g caster sugar until the mixture was pale, thick and custard like.
- Sifted in 1/2 tsp ground ginger and stirred carefully.
- Stirred in the melted chocolate - also carefully.
- Whisked the 2 duck egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff.
- Folded in 1/3 at a time.
- Spread onto a 20cm x 29cm Swiss roll tin lined with baking paper and baked for 10 mins at 180C (2 minutes more would have given a firmer sponge I reckon).
- Removed from oven and immediately turned onto a sheet of baking paper dusted with caster sugar.
- Rolled this up whilst hot and left to cool (the theory being this would form it into some sort of roll shape that would lesson the cracking when rolled later).
- Mixed 125g of mascarpone with 2 tbsp of lime & ginger curd.
- Unrolled baking paper to find my sponge was in bits - oh b*****.
- Too disheartened to make the attempt again, I had a quick change of plan.
- Divided the bits up into 4 and layered them with the mascarpone filling to form a vague likeness to a roulade.
The cake was rich and squidgy and tasted divine. The creaminess of the mascarpone filling and the tartness of the lime were like yin and yang - creating a heavenly harmony and the ginger formed a subtle backdrop to the main event.
This creation was so delicious, I've decided to name it after my home town, Liskeard. Eton Mess is certainly yummy but why shouldn't a modest market town in Cornwall have its very own culinary delight? Next time I'll serve it in a glass - it might look better that way. After an unpromising start, I feel I've snatched a worthy victory from the jaws of disaster.

With the announcement of Yooper's Troll-Brewery Tour in mid September, I am asking about the interest level in having another Brewday at my place. It would be on a Saturday or Sunday, although events of this nature, with traveling across the state required, would make a Saturday date more desirable. I have ample room for tenting or camping, but limited in-house accommodations for overnighters-and subject to early registration. Thinking of a similar event to last year, and should weather be uncooperative, we can use my expansive indoor space in the Hobby Shop. You'll want to bring 50% distilled/RO water to brew down to light colors, but an IPA or darker is quite satisfactory with 100% of my well water. I would expect from last year's overall experience that there may be high interest, but timing and coordination of logistics are going to be critical to allow attendance. Unsure at this point if 11, 18 or 25th, as I am awaiting a reply from Yooper as to her Arrival In Local Area, but if desired, this could be done on any of these dates; though earlier is preferential due to weather.EDIT: For those that have not previously attended, I ask, for your sake, that you do not bring children, because it just wouldn't be right.
Count me in!!!!
I think we can make it the 18th. Bob is pretty noncommittal, but I think we could manage it.
Oh, and Xiang, it's a good thing Bob is banned, or I'd be really pissed about your signature!
I'd like to come, but I fear my summer of goofing off may be at a close by then. If I don't start getting ready for winter, I'll find out first hand how cold the garage is at night! But you guys figure out a date and I'll see if I can make it. The only thing that I know for sure going on in Sept is a trip to Chicago to visit the museum and aquarium. Some weekend in the middle.
Dang, I'd really like make it out there and put some faces with the names, but my weekend's are packed in Sept. What city are you in?
That's right, I almost forgot about the killer pork loin. Homer, make that too!!! Z's bacon wrapped bbq chestnuts, Leon's porketta and Bob's fish were the bomb. The food at the brew days have rivaled the beers for sure.

I've golfed a few rounds with these clubs and I absolutely love them!! I decided I needed to change out my old Callaway Diablo Edges and I made the right choice. Plus, the hybrids are now my favorite clubs! Very consistent shots that are very straight.
DanP from North Carolina | 7/31/2014 7:44 AM
Nice looking, very easy to play. To my surprise, the hybrids are becoming two of my favorite clubs.
Zoob from Omaha, NE | 5/8/2014 10:10 AM
I had played Ping Eye 2's for 30 years and finally got over my separation issue of my long endeared irons. The Speedblades fly longer and straighter with a similar feel that the Pings have when the ball comes off the iron.
David L from Kansas City, MO | 5/1/2014 8:08 AM
Irons play longer, hybrids and irons have good sight lines and have good workability overall. Enjoying the feel and experiencing a lift in scoring with these irons
Deryl E from Bryan, TX | 4/4/2014 10:45 PM
Hit these irons much straighter than my Nike Pro Combos

According to his Twitter feed last night, RL Stine was "sitting in a hotel room in San Antonio, suffering thru the Yankees game." He was tense, he said. Here's hoping all that is worn off by this afternoon when he heads over to the H-E-B Plus! store at 6818 S. Zarzamora to announce the opening of the first H-E-B Literacy Center. He'll be joined by costumed actors from The Magik Theatre – Children's Theatre of San Antonio.
The fun starts at 4:30 p.m. with a news conference, followed by a book signing from 5 pm to 6 pm. Those in line at 6 pm who don't get a chance to meet the author will be offered the chance to purchase one of 50 pre-signed books. From 6 pm to 7 pm, an H-E-B Story Time will be offered.
The entire event is open to the public.
Designed to serve as a "community hub", the literacy center will feature kid-sized tables and chairs, a rocking chair for the grown-ups, an expanded kids' library section, and a stage to host monthly store events with characters from children's literature.
H-E-B has plans to open one more literacy center in San Antonio this fall at the store on SE Military.

don't do what i did!
Yesterday i couldn't stand the migrane that i had for one day longer, so i went to the clinic where my doctor is and saw the doctor on call. he took alot of time with me and checked everything out, well when it cam to my blood pressure apparently i was a ticking time bomb, it was so high. so he sent me to the emgerg. dept. at the hospital, where they were expecting me. the nurse came and took the info and then the doctor came, and i was put on an IV for the pain and was given 2 prescriptions for the migranes. So all i can say is take care of yourself and if you are tired slow down or just stop altogether. i finally think though that things are going to change in our house after this little scare my family had. i came home and slept for about 12 hours. so please, take things a little more easy things could have been alot worse for me! debbie
Oh, Debbie...I'm so very sorry you had to go through that. However, if "things" change in your home, perhaps it was a wake-up call that eventually could have been more severe. You're so involved with your community, with trying to juggle umpteen things yourself, tend to your two children and Al, that there's just nothing left for you, is there? A bubble-bath can't wash away all the stresses of each day.
Slow down, Sweetie....drop some things and take some serious time to just "be" with Al and your children. You're fortunate they're good kids....they'll understand that you can't be all things to all people all the time! I know we try to drive it into each other here to take time for ourselves, but it is difficult, isn't it? We always seem to be the last on our extensive lists! Some things, Debbie, have got to go bye-bye! It's OKAY just to sit and do nothing sometimes! You don't have to fill each moment...they're filled enough...put on your earphones and play Mozart, or a Gregorian Chant CD, or anything to help with your blood pressure and stress. There are relaxation CDs out there with your name on it! Go find one! Or borrow a few from the library until you know what relaxes you best.
Debbie....when I get to ThunderBay I expect to see a healthy Debbie! Got it, Chickie? Atta Girl.
Now make those changes and REALLY take care of yourself!!
HUGGLES and Blessings
Debbie, You had a wake up call....lady....as Linda put it so well....take care of yourself....hope and pray that the meds. the doctor gave you will help with the migranes. Please know that you and your precious family are in my prayers...wish we were close...I would steal you away for the day and we would go to lunch and then to a movie....doesn't that sound fun....how about you just getting in the car....take the day to do something you want to do!!! Al and the kids will be o.k. God Bless and let us know how you are feeling. Nora
Yes! I certainly did have a wake up call, and i hope that it never happens to anyone of you, all my dear wonderful friends! i have already started being selfish, i got up made number one son get to work on his own and come home too - guess what he did it! (oh stupid me!) dear daughter stayed home from school and we watched videos laying on the couch (something i never allowed before!) started knitting a sweater for ME (lopi kit all yarn and pattern - 8.99 from my fav. store). made an easy meatloaf for supper and stayed in my pj's except to go to a&p for hamburg for the meat loaf -- linda saw sandra with her head in the ice cream cooler that she was stocking -- didn't talk to her but she looked fine! so i hope this is one worry off your mind. nora i hate driving in this city, the drivers here figure red lights are for everyone else--i think i would be safer at a bank hold up than driving here -- and i'm not kidding. also gas is now 99.9 cents a litre! so anyways i'm off to read and hope my little scare scared everyone else because as care givers we do need our valued "down time", sleep well everyone and thanks! debbie
Debbie, hope you feel better. I used to get migraines often, and boy, they are no fun! I think it is Nature's way of telling you to slow down, and I'm glad you took some time for yourself...continue to do so. Be sure to keep track of your blood pressure too! My thoughts are with you.
Atta Girl, Debbie! And you're NOT being "selfish", Honey...you need down-time like everyone else does: if we don't care for ourselves, we'll be no use to anyone else.
I just knew your kids would be a wonderful support for you...I had to smile at you and your DD lounging around watching videos all day...love it!! Ah, Girl....please continue to care for yourself and don't fall into past routines, okay?
As for Sandra with her head stuck into the ice-cream cooler....ROLF!!...wait until I tell her that! HAHAHA!!!
It's good to have a spy in ThunderBay!..snicker....
Hope you have a lovely day knitting that sweater for yourself....if this yucky weather continues, you could be wearing it now! ;-D
ps...Don't worry Nora, Sandra and I know what to do with this Chickie when I get there later this summer! ((wink))
BIG HUGS and Blessings
Debbie, So,so good to read your post. I also knew those great kids would come thur for you. You are a great Mom and they know it....just let them do for you!!! Gas in Missouri has gone down...some. Continue to rest...and watch that blood pressure....don't know if you have those machines in stores that you can take your blood pressure...but everytime I go to pharmacy I take mine....several years ago I started having trouble and had to start taking meds. to keep mine down. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Linda....I am excited that you and Sandra will be taking care of Debbie....as we all know she is the best....wish I could come along....we all could have alot of fun. God Bless!!! Nora
Missouri isn't too far from us, is it? Whoa!!! Nevermind! I just saw the shows that are playing at the Branson Music Hall and I think we should meet you THERE! LOL!! The Rat Pack!!! Red Hot and Blue!!!! Ahhhh...now wouldn't that be nice?!
However...let's see...from Jefferson City to Sault Ste Marie, Michigan at our border..is..um...15 hours of driving time, then another 9 hours to ThunderBay....yikes...that's a wee excessive, isn't it? Just for lunch? And believe me, having been to ThunderBay (sorry, Debbie, but...you know...), I have a feeling Missouri is a tad more exciting! hahaha!!!
My DH and I are taking a wee road trip in August...to Stratford, in Ontario...... http://www.stratford-festival.on.ca.....(so cute! Quaint...you almost expect to see Shakespeare on the street!) to see a couple of his plays, then down and across to Michigan...we love that state; so much like Ontario...we want to visit Frankenmuth again, then Birch Run (OUTLET MALLS!), then up to Mackinaw City and a few trips over to Mackinaw Island, then up to the Sault and west to ThunderBay! We had planned to return home from the Sault when Mom was still living here, but now....we have no time limit! ;-)
Oh! Debbie: I emailed Sandra and asked her what kind of diet program was she on, because sticking her head into the cooler with ice-cream isn't on MY list!! LOL! She said to give you heck for not yanking her out and saying "Hello"! ;-D
Well, girls...time for a lay-down...was at my doc's today and as I thought...asthma>cold>bronchitis>border-line pneumonia! Woohoo. Just what I needed. So it's new drugs and rest time!
Take good care, my Friends!!!
HUGS and Blessings
Linda first things first how are you? i feel more sorry for you than i do me!! i've lived with these stupid migranes forever for about 30 years or so, but finally i did find someone who listened to me! i sure never expected it from a doctor on call (this is where you go to your own clinic and you don't have an appointment and you see whoever will see you, very common in our city as over TEN thousand people do not have a doctor, and you can only go to these clinics if you have a family doctor at the clinic you go to, if not they send you to emerg. - As we say only in canada!). well i woke up with a migrane and decided to get the prescription filled - are you all sitting down - it was for 12 wafers, i only got 6 at a cost of 106.90 (it isn't imitrex). well good news i laid down, for 45 minutes and it was gone! i'm on cloud nine right now no pain it's unbelievable! to celebrate i left the dishes, sat down and started making a foundation piecing tote bag, and of course talking to you all!
i wish we could all meet, i think we would all have a great time! I remember winning tickets to see meryle haggard and jeannie frickie (and i had a migrane on that night too), but we had a great time. I've been on that circle route - family vaction time, and we had such a great time, and it was when Al still was walking, being stupid in the car and singing songs, and other things! I think any city is better than here, another restaurant closed down, a mill is closing, some university staff is on strike, it's a bad city to live in right now our down town is like a ghost town! well thank you everyone again for thinking about me! freezing cold and 26 degree and it snowed on and off all day today! debbie

Steven Moffat has discussed why the regeneration of John Hurt's Doctor into Christopher Eccleston's Doctor in last year's Doctor Who 50th anniversary special was cut short.
The scene in 'The Day of the Doctor' ended before viewers could fully see the Ninth Doctor's face.
Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine in the latest issue, Moffat revealed: "It was one thing to include [Eccleston] among all the other archive Doctors, as they flew in to save the day — in fact, it would have been disgraceful to have left anyone out — but placing him in that scene might have given the impression he'd actually turned up for filming, which would have been crossing the line."
He added: "Not taking part in the 50th was a difficult decision for Chris, taken after a lot of thought and with great courtesy, and not respecting his wishes would have been grossly unprofessional and disrespectful to a good man and a great Doctor. Number 9 may not have turned up for the celebrations, but there would have been no party without him."
Series 8 is currently filming in Cardiff and will begin airing on BBC One in the autumn.
> Here's everything we know about Series 8 so far.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Obama attacks AP after they expose lies, suppresses freedom of speech
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
May 14th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) If you catch the Obama administration in a lie, you'd best keep quiet. That's the message being sent to the Associated Press by Obama's enforcers. Using sweeping authority of questionable integrity, the administration has seized phone records and other information from the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A year ago, the Obama administration told the American people they had "no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the (May 2) anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death."This was a blatant lie because the administration had plenty of evidence, and they used it to foil a plot to destroy a U.S. bound airliner over the Atlantic on the anniversary of Osama's death. This was supposed to be kept quiet, but when the AP broke the news about the success, leaked to it by a government insider, the Obama administration was furious. Now, a year later, Obama is taking revenge, seizing phone records related to more than 20 telephone lines assigned to the AP and its staff. According to the AP, more than 100 journalists are thought to be caught in Obama's dragnet as he angrily seeks the source of the leak within his administration. Obama is the most aggressive and chilling president when it comes to prosecuting journalists who participate in government whistleblowing. To date, he has prosecuted six people who he claims have provided classified information to journalists. This is more than the number prosecuted under all previous presidents combined. The problem in this case isn't so much Obama's attempt to find the leak in his administration as the overbroad and aggressive method in rooting it out. Normally, subpoenas are narrowly crafted and the government works with organizations to obtain the specific records required to conduct their investigation. In this case however, Obama scooped up a broad swath of records and he did so without notice. The action was so swift and broad that it remains unknown if a judge or grand jury ever signed off on the subpoena. This use of power by Obama is designed to do two things. The first is to cast a wide net to catch leaks from within his administration. The second is to have a chilling effect on journalism. Journalists have a duty to report credible information given to them by sources, which are protected with confidentiality. This policy protects government whistleblowers who may expose abuses of power, corruption, and other scandals that the American public has a right to know. Journalists and editors normally exercise discretion and restraint when handling information they know may be classified. Not everything is reported if it poses a significant threat to national security. However, sometimes the government uses the excuse of national security to justify its crimes and its lies, as it did before the American people in May of 2012. When the AP exposed that lie, Obama lashed out. Fortunately, the truth is emerging and Obama is doing much to expose it by lashing out at the press. Already Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has signaled his disapproval at Obama's strong-arm tactic. "They had an obligation to look for every other way to get it before they intruded on the freedom of the press," he told CNN. It's possible Rep. Issa may investigate this abuse of Obama's power, but only after he finishes investigating Obama's behavior on the Benghazi incident and his use of the IRS to stifle and chill opposition. A pattern is emerging about Obama, and it isn't very pretty. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

How to Make Albondigas Meatballs
Albondigas means meatballs in Spanish, but in English the word refers to a specific type of meatball that is used in many traditional dishes in the Spanish-speaking world. Albondigas meatballs are commonly found in soup and are also often served in a tomato-based sauce as tapas or small plates like appetizers. This article will show you how to make albondigas meatballs.
1Combine ingredients for albondigas meatballs in a large mixing bowl.
- Tear 2 slices of white bread into very small bits or make them into breadcrumbs in a food processor.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl with 8 oz. (225 g) ground beef, 8 oz. (225 g) ground pork, 1 medium onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 tsp. (5 ml) oregano and .5 tsp. (2.5 ml) ground cumin.
- Use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add 1 beaten egg to the meat mixture and mix well again.
Ad -
2Shape the albondigas meatballs.
- Divide the meat mixture into pieces large enough to roll into .5 inch (1.25 cm) balls. You should end up with 35 to 40 albondigas meatballs.
- Each meatball should be small enough to be eaten in one bite.
3Heat 2 tbsp. (10 ml) of olive oil in a 12-inch (30 cm) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Reduce the heat if the olive oil begins to smoke.
4Cook albondigas meatballs.
- Add half of the meatballs to the olive oil in the pan and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are well-browned on each side. This should take about 10 minutes.
- When they are brown, remove the albondigas meatballs from the frying pan and place them on a large plate lined with paper towels.
- Bring the oil back to temperature and add the other half of the albondigas meatballs.
- The albondigas meatballs are now ready to be covered with a sauce, added to a soup, or served as they are.
We could really use your help!
LCD monitor repair?
- Consider using a tsp.-sized (5 ml, restaurant-size #100) cookie scoop to shape albondigas meatballs. Cookie scoops make it easy to create albondigas meatballs of a uniform shape and size.
- Albondigas meatballs can be frozen. Simply place them a few inches apart on a baking tray lined with plastic wrap or parchment. Place the tray in the freezer and when the albondigas meatballs are frozen, transfer them to a zippered freezer bag for storage. To defrost them, simply place them a few inches apart on a tray in the refrigerator. They should be ready for use in a few hours.

My logo basically depicts each word of logo title "International Festival for Cultural Diversity". The colors of the logo depict the Earth colors i.e. shades of blue, green and browns.
The Human figure is also made of different shades of Earth colors (blue and green) which signify International and Individual identity/culture. The limbs of the Human figure are constructed in a joyous way to signify the word "festival".
The base of the logo is in the form of a complete puzzle which signifies that although human beings are different from each other, just like each piece of puzzle is different from other but when they are joined together they show a complete picture i.e. it is unity in diversity.

Worst. Day. Ever. I was delayed going to work out because I was talking to my boss, Todd called in the middle of my work out, my shoe was untied, and I dropped my iPhone on the treadmill. Then I had to run home to make dinner for a friend.
At least I made it to my place before her by a solid 5 minutes.

Alan Gray lives at East Ruston Old Vicarage, in north-east Norfolk, just over a mile away from the coast. When he first arrived in 1973 it had been empty for two years and there was no garden to enjoy. Since beginning the transformation on two acres back then, extra land - and hard work and creativity - has taken the garden to over 32 acres.
The Old Vicarage is open from March 25 to October 27 in 2012. You can visit 2-5.30pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. Standard entry is £7 for adults, £1 for children (ages 3-14). Dogs are not allowed in the garden.

Finding the minimum information for church records
To find an individual's place of death in church death records, you must at least know the individual's name, and either the name of the church where the ceremony was performed or the name of the clergyman that appears on church death record. If you do not have the minimum information to find a church record, you can either: Get help finding some of the minimum information by selecting the following item, click the Back button at the top of this window to return to the list of other places where you can find places of death, or read the paragraphs below for a few additional tips. Finding church records If you can find out the denomination of your ancestor's religion, you can try contacting all of the churches of that denomination in the area where you believe your ancestor lived. If they have records from the corresponding time period, they should be able to tell you whether or not your ancestor was a church member. If their records do not go back far enough, they may be able to tell you if any other churches of that denomination existed in the area at the time and where their records may be. The International Genealogical Index (IGI), available through the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on both microfilm and the FamilySearch computer, contains references to some church records. To search through the IGI, you only need to know your ancestor's name, although knowing approximate birth and death dates and the area where your ancestor lived will help you narrow your search. When you find the name of an ancestor in the IGI, you can order microfilm copies of the records through the Family History Library. Try finding a marriage certificate -- it will probably list a clergyman or church. If the individual lived in the same area throughout his or her life, the same church may have performed both the marriage and the burial ceremony. Finding places of death If the individual was a veteran who served and was killed in the Korean or Vietnam War, you may be able to find a place of death through the death records in the Military Index on the FamilySearch computer at your local Family History Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Family History Library has all other wars indexed on microfiche. You only need to know the war and the veteran's name. Local community and genealogy libraries may also have war indexes. Contact individual libraries for their holdings. Make sure to check photo albums, scrapbooks, diaries, and family Bibles at home. See the topic Finding information at home for more information.

Qualifying Has Begun
Making it into the USDGC Open Flight will be no easy task this year. With room for less than half of the typical USDGC pro field, only the best will find their way to Rock Hill, S.C. Two disc golfers that have a great chance of winning spots right off the bat when qualifying commences at the Memorial (Feb. 29th – March 3rd ) are Josh Anthon and Avery Jenkins.
The two elite golfers from California are in the hunt at almost every tournament they play in including the USDGC where they've appeared a combined 19 times.
For the first time, the Championship will be divided into two flights of 72 players. The Performance Flight brings players of varying skill sets to Winthrop Gold using Performance Scoring, while the Open Flight will host the best of the best to determine the US Champion under stroke play.
This year only the top 20 from 2010 will be exempt from qualifying in the Open Flight. Everyone else including past US and World Champions have to secure a top five score at one of nine regional qualifiers.
Jenkins, the 2009 World Champion, barely missed exemption with a 21st place finish in 2010. Though he seemed surprised past World Champions weren't exempt, he thinks Open Flight qualifying should be a level playing field that produces a top-notch group.
"That's what you're looking for. You're looking for the best competition," said Jenkins, 33, who finished runner-up in the 2007 and 2008 USDGC's.
Jenkins, who recently returned from a disc golf ambassador trip to Taiwan, said he always looks forward to the start of the season that includes the back-to-back tournaments of the Gentlemen's Club Challenge in Las Vegas followed a week later by the Memorial in Arizona. Since the fairways and greens are so fast at the Memorial, he plans on using a lot of spike hyzer shots so the disc will stick its landing. Last year he finished 16th at the Memorial, but in 2009 he was second.
The way Anthon, 30, has been playing the Memorial lately, he'll have a USDGC spot locked up if he continues his stellar play. The last two years he's finished second at the tournament.
Anthon, who broke the Winthrop Gold Course record in 2009 with a 53 (-15) and later finished 3rd , was unable to compete in the 2010 USDGC because of an ankle injury. Last season the injury flared up occasionally, but he now believes his ankle is nearly back to normal.
Along with those Memorial near misses, Anthon has also finished second at the last three World Championships. Most would say that's pretty amazing, but getting that close to a win leaves Anthon with a sour taste. He said it's all about making key shots at the right time, which is what he attributed to winning the NT Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open last year.
"Those are the shots sometimes that mean the most," said Anthon, who has been busy fixing up cars in the off-season.
After both men sat out last year's USDGC Performance Edition, the two are ready to qualify and get back to Winthrop. Though both men would like to see the Championship return to its original format, they seemed encouraged at this year's new direction.
Along with winning the Worlds, claiming the US Championship is always Anthon's yearly goal. Jenkins too is looking for another stellar year – and one that includes another major win would be just the ticket.

Hello again!
Spring has truly arrived here in Tokyo. The cherry blossoms have bloomed and the roads are now speckled with pink petals. I guess it's part of the magic but it's a little depressing that it only lasts for ~2 weeks. I haven't even had a chance to really enjoy them yet! If the weather permits, I'm hoping to take an outfit post with the sakura this weekend so fingers crossed!
I never thought I would but I'm totally digging this flared midi skirt trend (also called midi circle skirts). This black one from F21 is the one and only I own so far. Key words – so far ;)
Also, as a side note, I truly believe that a nautical striped top should be a closet staple. It's as versatile as a plain white/black tee but with so much more personality. It suits everyone and most importantly, it never goes out of style!
These photos were taken about 2 weeks ago when the weather finally started warming up. Woo hoo, bare legs! Goodbye tights!
The last few ones were taken in Yokohama, specifically, near the red brick warehouse (http://www.yokohama-akarenga.jp/ – sorry, Japanese only!). They often have events like beer/food festivals, art fairs, markets, etc. taking place in the open area. You'll also find the ever so popular Bills restaurant in one of the brick warehouses. Be warned, the lines are always ridiculous. I think you can make dinner reservations but you would have to do so several weeks in advance so plan ahead! The restaurant photos at the end of the post were taken in Grip (http://grip-yokohama.com/), an organic restaurant also in the warehouse. Atmosphere 9/10, food 7.5/10.
The red brick warehouses are right by the water so it's great as a walk in between shopping at the numerous Yokohama malls or restaurant-hopping in Chinatown :)

Top Performers
Nebraska: R. Gallegos 30 Pts, 4 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl
Minnesota: R. Williams 23 Pts, 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk
MINNEAPOLIS -- Their confidence shaken and their record bruised by the rugged Big Ten, Rodney Williams and the Minnesota Golden Gophers badly needed a breather.
Nebraska's arrival couldn't have come at a better time.Williams snapped out of a funk to score 23 points and No. 23 Minnesota got a much-needed confidence boost with an 84-65 victory over Nebraska on Tuesday night."There's definitely relief," said Williams, who was 8 of 13 from the field. "When you lose four in a row and come home to play, you have to protect home court. For us to do it in impressive fashion like we did, I think it's a big confidence builder."Andre Hollins scored 14 points and Austin Hollins had 13 points and five assists for the Golden Gophers (16-5, 4-4 Big Ten), who snapped the four-game losing skid that caused them to plummet in the rankings."Our psyche was shaken pretty bad," Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said. "I thought we really had just shot ourselves in the foot in every loss we've had. Tonight we did a better job."Ray Gallegos scored 30 points for Nebraska (11-11, 2-7), which committed 13 turnovers to offset some impressive shooting. The Huskers shot 54.5 percent for the game, but were outrebounded 36-19 and forced just six turnovers by Minnesota.Gallegos, who made 12 of 17 shots including six 3-pointers, didn't get much help. Brandon Ubel scored 13 points and Shavon Shields had 10.The Gophers started the season 15-1, with the only loss to Duke. Expectations started to swell as the victories piled up, and they climbed to No. 8 in the AP Top 25 before they hit the skids. Losses to Indiana, Michigan, Northwestern and Wisconsin threatened to spoil things as the Gophers followed a familiar script under Smith.Three years ago, the Gophers lost six of eight games in Big Ten play. Two years ago they went a stretch of 10 losses in 11 games and last season they dropped the final six games. During their latest swoon, Smith seemed to anger some players, Williams included, with his blunt assessment of their failings after losses.Williams scored just two points in the loss to Wisconsin last weekend continuing a troubling slump for the athletic power forward. He scored eight of the team's first nine points against overmatched Nebraska, throwing down two dunks in the process to get the Gophers rolling."When he dunked on the first possession, I thought to myself, `Uh oh, here we go," Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. "Looks like the gut feeling was right. He was outstanding."After a brief rest, Williams didn't stop. He kept attacking the overwhelmed Cornhuskers, even adding a rare 3-pointer to the mix. It was an encouraging sign for the Gophers, who desperately need their high flyer to get back to the difference-maker he was during the nonconference portion of the schedule if they want to get back into the hunt. But dominating lesser competition has never been an issue for Williams. He's always been able to use his superior athleticism to leap overwhelm them.It's when the Gophers are going toe-to-toe with bigger, more physical opponents that Williams tends to disappear. He combined for nine points in two losses to the Badgers and Northwestern last week, going 3 for 17 from the field and finding it difficult to get to the basket for easy dunks."We did some things today to try to get him some freedom to come out and move a bit more," Smith said. "He's been going up against some pretty big guys. Tonight he didn't have to do that. They didn't really muscle him. ... He's capable of doing that all the time. That's my expectations of Rodney."The Huskers did their best to make a game of it, shooting 64 percent in the first half. Gallegos scored 20 points, hitting four 3-pointers, and Nebraska got back in the game when Smith subbed out all five starters midway through the first half.But the Huskers turnovers made it difficult for Miles to slow down the pace, a strategy that Northwestern and Wisconsin used to great success against the Gophers. Williams' final soaring dunk gave the Gophers a 73-53 lead with 5:05 to go."Lord knows we've had enough negatives over the last two weeks," Smith said. "Enough garbage. But garbage in, garbage out."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

It probably wouldn't happen again. Even in 1991, when the newish director of the Queensland Art Gallery first went to see Queensland premier Wayne Goss, success seemed anything but inevitable.
Doug Hall had something novel in mind: a three-yearly survey of the contemporary art of the Asia-Pacific region.
But it came with a price tag: an immediate $100,000 funding fillip for the 1993 show, plus two more $275,000 tranches for the next two.
The early 1990s recession was in full swing, Kevin Rudd among the Goss staffers looking to cobble a surplus together. On the plus side, the premier had also made himself arts minister. Anyone could be an administrative and political reformer, he reasoned.
He wanted to change the way Queenslanders saw themselves.
Hall sold his new project as the mirror his political master was after. For the director, who had taken over the gallery four years earlier, it was an attempt to even up the odds in the interstate gallery fight, in which QAG had always been "an orphan", he says.
Until 1982 the Queensland Art Gallery didn't even have a permanent home, one reason most regional galleries had better historical collections. "There was nowhere you could tell a coherent story in the QAG collections," Hall says. "They were always fractured. We didn't just have holes, we had chasms."
Goss liked Hall's idea, even if it was anything but clear at the time how or whether it would work. The art of the region was still largely seen as of ethnographic interest rather than as contemporary art.
But that too was changing, not least as Bob Hawke and Paul Keating stepped up Australia's engagement with the region, particularly China post-Tiananmen Square. Yes, the idea was a risk, Goss told Hall, but it was an acceptable risk. The Asia-Pacific Triennial got its $650,000.
Twenty years later, the APT, which opens its 20th anniversary exhibition in December, is widely recognised as the show that changed not just QAG's fortunes but Queensland's, and gave Australia a place on the world visual arts stage.
Indeed it would have a fair claim to being the country's most important show, an immediate hit whose impact has only grown with each iteration. The 1993 APT was seen by 60,000 people. By the second show in 1996, that audience had doubled. A decade later it hit 750,000 when the APT opened QAG's new twin, the Gallery of Modern Art – appropriately, given the show had almost spawned it.
The Peter Beattie government announced the $100 million project, centrepiece of the redevelopment that has turned the south bank of the Brisbane River into a cultural precinct, in the wake of APT 3 to capitalise on the show's profile and cement Queensland's standing as a contemporary art centre.
Queenslanders, it seems, had found their mirror. QAG estimates locals visit up to four times per show these days. All up, 1.8 million people have seen the six APTs, about 22 per cent from interstate, with 17 per cent of last year's audience from overseas.
QAG's acting director, Suhanya Raffel, who first came to work at the gallery with the second APT in 1996, says simply: "Our reputation has been built on it".
"It made the gallery," agrees Melbourne dealer Anna Schwartz. "It turned Queensland into an international player and locally it changed the pecking order between the galleries."
Nothing encapsulates the upending of the old order as neatly as the fact that the grand old lady of Australian galleries, the National Gallery of Victoria, chose QAG's director Tony Ellwood as its new head in February.
With its unparalleled historical collection, the NGV had been seen in some quarters as slow to embrace the suddenly game-changing art of our times.
For his part Ellwood has always said he was only building on the strength and direction originally established by Doug Hall with the APT and GoMA.
Then there is the show's international impact. The APT not only helped reposition the art of the region as contemporary art, surfing the Chinese and subsequent regional art waves along the way, in the last decade it has also spawned imitators from Busan and Gwangju in Korea to Singapore, Taipei, Yokohama and Guangzhou and Shanghai in China.
"It has been extremely important in opening up the art of Asia, particularly China with artists like Ai Weiwei, but more generally to the attention of people who went on to make a lot of money," says Schwartz.
The director of Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, remembers watching the APT unfold from the other end of the world back in 1993, when she was still heading Birmingham's Ikon Gallery in the UK.
"I was really interested in it before I even moved here," Macgregor says. "I sent one of my curators out. It was part of that whole opening up of the art world; the challenging of the supremacy of London and New York. Suddenly curators started timing their visits to Australia to coincide with it."
To Weekend Financial Review film critic John McDonald, who has covered successive APTs for The Sydney Morning Herald, the show has done nothing less than "repositioned Australia as a central player in the cultural arena".
"In the old days, we could only be an outstation of Europe or the US," McDonald says. "The APT has given Australia a chance to get away from the provincial hang-ups we have had since the beginning.
"It has also coincided with the rise of Hong Kong and Singapore as serious hubs for international art. All the big international galleries and auction houses have put down roots in the region because that's where the action and money are, and where the next wave of prominent artists are coming from. Twenty years ago many of those countries didn't have a developed market or much of an art scene," McDonald says.
"They've developed very rapidly and are probably standing much higher in the esteem of the world than Australia. China is of course huge, but India and Korea are big too, and Thailand, and Indonesia is the next big thing."
Which is where the APT has been particularly kind to the QAG. Unlike other biennales or triennials, the APT has always been acquisitive, collecting and commissioning work as part of its curation. The idea was always to put together at least one coherent collection. It just happened to be of the art of a critical region at a critical moment.
The upshot has been that the gallery has ended up holding a collection, particularly of Chinese art, that could never be put together today. Take three buys from the second APT in 1996. In one go, the gallery acquired for $100,000 Cai Guo-Qiang's famous gunpowder works, now worth well in excess of $1 million, Takashi Murakami's crazed Mickey Mouse figure Mr. DOB now worth more than $1 million, for $30,000, the same price it paid for Zhang Xiaogang's Three Comrades, from his now-famous Bloodline series, now worth almost $1 million.
Then there's Xu Bing's A Book From The Sky, one of the seminal works of Chinese contemporary art, bought for a song and now worth millions.
As for China's hottest dissident, Ai Weiwei: "We probably have more of his work than any museum in the world, some of it gifts, given our long relationship," QAG's Raffel says.
The Seventh APT, which opens in December and runs until April 2013, is in every sense a culmination of all that has gone before. The confidence of the region as a new world art centre is everywhere on display, from the almost endless variety of the Shanghai art machine that is MadeIn Company, a production outfit for art and art shows, which was founded by artist Xu Zhen, to Zhou Tiehai's riffs on Chinese and European art, churned out by assistants. Both reflect – and critique, but predominantly celebrate, madly, exuberantly – the consumerism and endlessness of China, a country in which literally anything can be made on any scale.
That vastness of ambition – and consumption – is there too in another of the show's centrepieces, Indian born, UK-based Raqib Shaw's extraordinary 9 metre long Paradise Lost . Painted with a porcupine quill and deploying everything from cloisonné techniques techniques to rhinestones and glitter, it is the magnum opus of a current market darling, 10 years in the making.
The intellectual energy that has always underpinned the show is also evident in the Papua New Guinean ritual decorations for temporary houses that have been realised as large-scale artworks. Meanwhile, its geographic reach has been extended yet again, this time into West Asia. Asia has, after all, been a reasonably elastic concept.
Along the way, the show has become more "polished", Macgregor says. "It used to be sprawling and it's become more conventional – which is good and bad," she says.
The challenge for the show, says Hall, the man who dreamt it up, is to ensure "it remains the protruding nail in that Japanese sense. It's now one of many. The difference between the APT and many others is it's done for artistic reasons," he says. "Others like Singapore are state exercises in artistic diplomacy, they're not as grand and noble."
