Show All Guides Questions Tips Photos Lonely Questions
To what height can I cut back a mature fig tree to get it to grow like a bush instead?
My avo-tree is now seven years old and is bearing fruit for the second year, why is it loosing so many brown leaves during springtime?
Can I put lime on my fruit trees, especially my citrus trees, and when do I do it?
I have been growing a dwarf orange tree indoors for several years. It continues to grow taller and appears to be in good health. The problem is that the branches and the main trunk are the same in diameter.
My tree had lots of mayhaw berries, but they were covered in a rust-like powder so none were fit to make jelly. What do I do for next year's crop?
I have a friend who lives about 50 miles away, at the foot of the mountain. On a tip from her wiser friend, she piled everything left from canning peaches in a heap in the garden.
Something is eating my leaves in my weeping cherry tree.
Can I get some information on planting peach pits?
Can I plant a sweet cherry pit and grow a tree?
I would like advice on growing dwarf fruit trees in a pot.
I have a fig tree that I planted 3 summers ago. It has grown well and is now about 7 feet tall. We have let 4 main shoots remain and cut back the others. We bought it at a flea market and I do not know what kind of fig it is.
I am trying to find an old apple tree variety that used to grow outside of our house. I know this variety is at least 100 years old and would love to replace the dead tree with a new one of the same variety. It is a late maturing apple, yellowish green in color, sweet and crisp.
I have several of these trees growing in my yard. They are volunteers, meaning they just grew up on their own. I live in the Pacific Northwest (Western Washington near Puget Sound). New ones grow up around the largest tree so I'm assume they are from seed from the tree. They have some white flowers in the spring and the fruit shown in one of the pictures is about the size of a jumbo olive and olive shaped or plum shaped.
I want to plant lilacs and also some fruit trees. Do you do that in the fall?

Rising concern over Syria's chemical weapons
Posted: 05/12/2012 Filed under: Gulf and Middle East Security, Manama Voices, Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation | Tags: Chemical Weapons, Patriot anti-missile batteries, Syria, Turkey 2 CommentsBy Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
Anticipating that Iran nuclear questions would feature prominently at the IISS Manama Dialogue, I set to work yesterday updating my briefing papers on the status and options. No sooner had I begun, however, than the phone began ringing, with calls from journalists asking about different kinds of weapons in two other countries in the region. Could we trust reports that Syria was mixing chemical-weapons components, and what were the implications of NATO deploying Patriot missiles to Turkey? Similar questions are likely to come up at the Manama Dialogue.
It is clear to me that there is good reason to worry on the first point, even if there is no guarantee that Syria really is readying sarin nerve-gas weapons by mixing the two main chemical precursors. The media reports of this are all sourced to unnamed US officials, and many simply echo articles on Wired's Danger Room and CNN from 3 December.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius stressed that the reports had not been confirmed. There are ample signs, however. The forceful, pointed warnings from President Barack Obama and other Western leaders reflect the alarming nature of the intelligence information being collected last week.
The Syrian government has vowed not to use chemical weapons against its own people. But if the Assad regime sees itself on the edge of overthrow, it might be tempted to turn to its most potent weapons, especially if it believes its own propaganda that rebel forces are foreign-backed. Damascus clearly possesses the aircraft and artillery needed to effectively deliver these weapons. Syria is also suspected to have 100–200 CW warheads for its Scud missiles.
Those missiles would serve no purpose in the kind of internal war raging in Syria. If border hostilities flared, however, Turkey could not be certain that Syria would refrain from using CW-armed missiles – hence Ankara's urgent request for NATO Patriot batteries as a defensive measure.
As I told Al Jazeera, Turkey's own systems are not sophisticated enough to defend against ballistic missiles. It has borrowed NATO Patriot batteries before, during the 1991 and 2003 invasions of Iraq, and will now do so again. By the time the batteries are in place in several weeks' time, the immediate danger may be over. However, NATO's decision to deploy the systems reinforces the warnings to Syria and reassures Turkey that it is not alone in time of trouble.
As defensive systems, the Patriot batteries will be configured primarily to engage ballistic missiles. Western officials stress that the batteries' deployment is not the first step towards a no-fly zone in Syria. Depending on where they are deployed, however, their 26 kilometre range will provide some reach into Syrian airspace. As the BBC's Jonathan Marcus reports, the batteries may also be intended to dissuade Syria from operating its aircraft too close to the Turkish frontier.
Turkey is far from the only nation in the region to field Patriot batteries. Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have all bought the system. If Manama Dialogue discussion turns to this topic, there will be plenty of participants who know what they are talking about.

About Us
At Brain Australia, we are committed to supporting critical brain research around the country. We look to educate the masses on the causes and symptoms of various brain disorders and look to find treatments and cures for diseases and disorders within the brain. Approximately 1 out of every 6 people will be affected by a brain disease or traumatic brain injury in their life at one time or another.
The only way for people to find out if they have a brain disorder and begin treatment is to know about the signs and symptoms. Too many people turn a blind eye to the symptoms that they experience every day. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, autism, and various other diseases and disorders are out there and there are various treatment plans out there if a person takes the initiative to talk to a doctor.
Brain Australia is committed to educating people on the disorders. If more people are aware of the signs and symptoms, they can listen to their body. Help is out there and we encourage everyone to simply take advantage of the resources that are available.
Countless research organizations are out there and we want to support these in any way that we can to help discover the reasons behind the disorders and seek more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for the various things that can plague a person's brain and cause them to be sick, unhealthy, or simply not themselves.
Our Mission
Brain Australia supports brain research to discover more about the causes, effective treatments, and find cures for the diseases and disorders of the brain. In our efforts we thank our research partners and supporting institution.
Our Vision
To be a part of something bigger and help brain disorders be eliminated.
How Can You Get Involved?
We are always looking for people to join Brain Australia and help with the brain research that we are a part of. There are always ways to raise money and get involved with fundraising opportunities. This money can be used to help with the education of the masses as well as to provide funding to the various research groups who are looking for cures and effective treatment measures for the various brain disorders, diseases, and injuries that exist.
Help us help the researchers! When you want to get involved at any level, we would love to hear from you. Contact us today by email or by phone.

Bick Corsa Carpentry took top honors in the Massachusetts Zero Energy Challenge, an energy efficiency pilot program developed by a statewide group of electric utility companies. Over the past year, five home builders competed to design and build super-efficient single-family homes that achieve zero or near-zero energy performance by combining best-practices HVAC installations, passive solar design, high-efficiency building envelopes, and renewable energy technologies.
After completion, the performance of each house was tested and verified by Home Energy Rating System (HERS) professionals. The highest-performing homes were selected for three top prizes totaling $50,000 and were announced on June 29 in an awards event at the Massachusetts State House.
The Zero Energy Challenge winners are:
First Place ($25,000): Bick Corsa Carpentry, for the Tina Clarke/Doug Stephens Residence, Montague, Mass.

Fourth Place: Mark Sevier, P.E., for the Sevier/Farb Residence, Sudbury, Mass.
Fifth Place: Bread & Roses Housing for the Alder Street Development, Lawrence, Mass.
"Winners of the Zero Energy Challenge are energy efficiency trailblazers who are helping to build wider awareness and use of cutting-edge techniques that result in dramatic home energy savings," Secretary Ian Bowles, Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, said at the awards event.

I purchased the eye and lip colour in mango and I love the colour. It really makes my face looked tanned. Long lasting and comfortable. Looks great with the Lise Watier lip gloss pink lady dabbed on top. Perfect! I think it would be interesting on the eye but most likely best for the lips.
SEPT '05: I AM SO SAD - THIS COLOUR & PRODUCT IS BEING DISCONTINUED - IF YOU LIKE IT GRAB AS MANY AS POSSIBLE & STOCK UP!! :( Now for the original review: Oooh i wish everyone'd lemming on this! It's absolotely FABULOUS: my HG eyeshadow/base. There are many colours, the one i've got is 'Lavande' = gorgeous colour: medium/light purple/plum/berry kinda mix. This colour doesn't make your eyes or skin tired.. in fact makes them pop. Comes in a large pencil format, purrrrfect amount of pigment, goes on smoothly, doesn't crease, doesn't transfer onto upper half of lid, doesn't seep, doesn't irritate = yay! i use this pretty much every single day (MAC Paint Artjam on the odd other day). It's a perfect colour for a Caramel coloured chicky with brown eyes, but my lighter coloured friends love the colour too. Often get complimented & asked about what i'm using. i use w/ L'Oreal Lineur Intense (black) or Bourjois Liner Parfait (prune) or Bourjois eyeliner pencil (praline) & any combo's gorgeous! Hope you get to purchase this marvellous product & enjoy! It's TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE! Will DEFINITELY REPURCHASE ad infinitum!

Native Instruments has released Compilation Volume 1, a completely free Kore Soundpack with 100 sounds and 800 variations. In fact, you don't even need Kore to use it: the free Kore Player will work. (I believe that means if you don't own Kore but do, for instance, own Massive, you could open up Massive-created presets and edit them in the full synth.)
There's lots in there:
- Percussive sounds from Tension
- Synth sounds from Absynth, Massive, FM8, Reaktor
- The fantastic Reaktor Animated Circuits pack
- Synthetic Drums
- Kits and grooves
- Multi-effects from Deep Transformations
Notably absent is one of our favorites from all year, Spark by NI founder and Reaktor "mastermind" Stephan Schmitt (see our interview). But there's enough in here to give you a good preview of what's contained in these packs – and to pass along to your friends if you want to show them a little of what Kore is about.
If you do own Kore, it can be a good way to look at what you can do with Kore controller assignments and variations in sound design, so well worth the download even if you're not a big preset fan.

The very talented gorilla on the rope, carrying leaves on her shoulder, is Mbeli. She is the daughter of the zoo's former silverback and his favourite female. After three years in Melbourne zoo, Mbeli came back last year. She has been introduced to Kibali, the current silverback (most important male in a gorilla group), in the hopes that they will breed. Mbeli is crazy about Kibali and spends hours trying to impress him.
Tracey Dierikx took this wonderful picture. She visits the zoo most weekends with another photo-buddy. "We love trying to get great photos of the animals doing different things, and basically looking happy, healthy, and having a great time," says Tracey.
Be sure to bring your camera next time you go to the zoo. You don't know what you will see! Animals make great photo subjects. Then you can post your pictures on the Taronga Zoo Facebook page.

Celebrating Diversity #12This edition of Celebrating Diversity I want to focus on two extremes of art: Extremely detailed and realistic works and minimal and abstract art. Both tendencies or trends have their place and time in art and history and are appreciated by many people. Not always does one person like both, but to me personally, art has always been more about feeling, than about complexity. Something simple can touch me emotionally as well as something blasting with details. Art is just as individual as every human being!

New version of the V939 - "6-axis gyro"
I just saw a Chinese thread informing that the new version of WLtoys V939 is on sale! It comes with a 6-axis gyro for self-stabilization. And for the record, there is no such thing as 6-axis gyro, but this is just what the Chinese have been calling 3-axis gyro + 3-axis accelerometers, for months or even years.
I wonder if the 3-axis accelerometers will make it too stable, too easy to fly. The thread in Simplified Chinese: http://bbs.5imx.com/bbs/forum.php?mo...89&pid=8658639 Note: The seller pages warned the package comes with an improved transmitter, which will only work with the improved V939 ("6-axis gyro"). It will not work with the older version of the V939. |

I'm not in the war but I followed the entire episode.
Sorry, it's nearing the end of my work day and my brain is fried - could not compute your explanation for now. The thing is I only have 2 batteries for my V939. I am using the non-balancing parallel charging harness, 2 batteries parallel connected to a JST each, then the other end to the charger. Set it to charge at 0.8A (0.4A each), 1S 3.7V. But before that, I would need to allow the batteries to self-balance, equalise for 10 minutes. With this new found device, I would charge it at XA, 2S, 3.7V. There is no need to allow the batteries to equalise. So back my question: This thing has 3 ports. I have 2 batteries. Will it charge? Or will the charger report battery error? Thanks. |

I thought you had several Micro sized quads = lotsa batteries. You can mix types: 250maH, 300mAh etc. as long as you charge at the correct current for the lowest. Don't multiply current up as you have (Actually not sure you should have done that in the first place, TBH): set to 0.4A (or whatever) as they each get that. |

... unfortunately with so much dirt flying around, nobody even EVER seemed to care Anyway, those are in my eyes the ideal way to charge the batteries, as you can use a "real" charger (like Thunder AC6 for example) and CONSTANTLY monitor WHAT is going on with the charge ... As for the 1S voltage meter ... I got MANY spares ... (ie, pm if interested ...) |

As for checking, I've got several of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330730909870 and they're great. They autodetect the number of cells connected and cycle through the different voltages on the display. For larger batteries (or several joined together in a balance charging harness) you can also set the discharged voltage you want them to 'alarm' at. Perfect for my AR.Drone when flying with the full sized Tx, as I can't see the flashing lights warning at a distance. Video here (not mine) shows one in action.

This product has been discontinued
I like this product cuz it makes my lashes look thick. It was recommended by a staff. Sadly its been discontinued but I'm sure there are much better mascaras by MAC available now.
Second tube? I think.
I love it! It's probably one of my all time favourite mascaras, only a pity it doesn't come in waterproof formulation. I do believe the secret lies in the brush, with the two different lengths - which can sometimes be a little hard to tell apart. nonetheless it works really well, and if it were cheaper I'd be repurchasing it a lot more.
This mascara looks really nice when I put it on. It coats every lash without clumping, but all day, or night, long it flakes off into a fine powder under my eyes making it look like I have dark circles. No matter how frequently I cleaned it up there would be more every time I looked in the mirror. It was exactly like I tried using black eye shadow on my lashes. I have never experienced anything like this in my 20 years of wearing mascara. I thought I must have gotten a defective tube, but a friend told me she threw hers out for the same reason. This stuff is the worst. I don't know what's going on with MAC these days.

It's a weird stubby little brush, but I kinda like it. Gives nice length and medium volume, manages to not flake. I do prefer fuller lashes, so even with 2-3 coats this doesn't charm me enough. When you apply 4 or more coats lashes tend to clump together b/c the brush is so short and the bristles too far apart to properly separate.

I was disappointed when I tried this product. The packaging is nice and the brush is big, which I love, but that's about it. The smell is really bad and lingers a long time. Once applied to my lashes, the mascara gave them a spidery look and after a second coat it was even worse. I've tried worse mascaras, but this one is definitely not in my top five. For reference, I have dark, medium thick eyelashes.
I really like this mascara (and boy, do I have quite a few). I get nice volume, length and seperation while still maintaining a more natural, "soft" look. My lashes don't look or feel dry or crunchy, no "spider legs" here. The brush can be a little confusing, though. It's two sided, and one side is for seperation while the other is for volume. I have a hard time figuring out which side is which, but I make due and I love the result. Love the chubby tube.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my 3rd tube of PlushLash and i feel like it really does work for me because with just about ALL of the other mascara's i've tried, high and low end, i ended up with black flakes underneath my eyes. So dry and flakey, or smudging up by my eyebrow, but with MAC plushlash, i don't get any of that and its amazing. I love looking into the mirror throughout the day and not seeing one black flake on my face. Also the brush is HUGE and i love the super huge, tarantula brushes, they tend to work better on my lashes that the plastic spikey ones. It is not clumpy at all, and with one coat, your lashes will be LONG and defined with no clumps. If you let it dry, and build up, you will get a very dramatic look. I feel like it really FLUFFS up my lashes. And a great thing is that even though it has great dependable staying power throughout the day, with no flaking or smudging, it isn't hard to wash off at the end of the day with your basic face cleanser. Wonderful.
The price here where I live is $16 dollars, and its not TERRIBLY expensive like dior or lancome, its about the price of two drugstore mascaras. So i can deal with it.

It's only good for volume. But it clumps and smudges A LOT. I always seem to have panda eyes after a few hours of wearing this.

Meal/Course - Dinner
In 1989, Sheldon P. Wimpfen, of Luray, Virginia, wrote that he had been a chili cook for fifty-five of his seventy-five years and that fact makes him an expert on the subject. He lambasted us for our "mistaken tales" about the origin of chili con carne. He enclosed as his evidence the first recipe ever used for chili con carne, dating from approximately 15,000 B.C. The ancient recipe which follows was invented by the Alaxsxaq Indians of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes on the Bering Land Bridge. He apologized in advance for any insult to whale lovers and wrote, "that's just the way they cook up there." This recipe and others can be found in the 12-part illustrated series "A World of Curries". You can read all about this unique Indian flavor here. Jambalaya is the kind of dish that can feed a big crowd. It takes a long time to cook, but it seems to get eaten pretty fast! Normally made with some combination of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage, this recipe takes on an exotic twist with smoky wild boar bacon, chunks of alligator tail meat and kangaroo sausage.
This low-fat, high-flavor recipe is based on one provided by the National Pork Producers Council. By using a commercial salsa, this simple-to-prepare chili can be ready to serve in about a half an hour.
The region located next to Mongolia, called Xinjiang, is noted for its barbecue lamb, or mutton, even though lamb is rarely eaten in other parts of China. In fact, the Mongolian tribes were the ones who introduced lamb to the rest of China. It's easy to visualize this simple barbecue being prepared by the nomads on the steppes of Xinjiang. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
Xinjiang, which borders Mongolia, is noted for its barbecued lamb even though lamb is rarely eaten in other parts of China. In fact, the Mongolian tribes introduced lamb to the rest of China. This simple barbecue could easily be prepared by the nomads on the plains of Xinjiang. Note that this recipe requires advance preparation.
This recipe is also attributed to Big Daddy. Since yak meat is impossible to find, substitute buffalo or very lean beef.

After posting a live review in my journal, the absolutely lovely super-moderator Trey politely informed me that it was being wasted in the member journal area and that she wished I had started a new thread about the band in the main forums... so after several days in the wilderness and beating myself up about it I decided to brave my first band related thread (apologies if this is too indulgent), and what better way than with a band that has moved me like no other... For those who don't know, I'd like to introduce you to.... [drum roll smiley] - (though completely pointless as I posted the name in the title bar)... Skunk Anansie.
I have nothing against woman fronted rock bands but in my opinion it's pretty rare for them to really RTFO... not the case here.
I've mulled over this endlessly to introduce songs in the most defining manner possible and much against my mental predisposition to chronology I'm starting from their last studio album from 1999 (after which they split before reforming this year)
I'll start with the dark stuff.
tragically I can only find videos for the singles (I don't like introducing with live versions) so will post some select cuts from here on out.
A Ballad and a great pop tune
...and 2 new songs from the impending Greatest Hits
Hey?... Are they great or what?

It's not unprotected now, it's built like the rest of the libraries. Binutils is using --execstack, needlessly, on all programs and libraries with assembly code. I'm seeing if I can patch Binutils to use --execstack only if it's specifically called for, instead of patching every program with assembly. Gzip and GnuPG have the same issue, except they added a ./configure option for --noexecstack. Java compilers are the only programs I can think of that actually need --execstack. > In the past, I can remember that the hlfs book contained e few > beyond-hlfs apps.; openssh, openntp and then openssl was part of the > "beyond" and if I recall it right it had to patched for ssp. > Was that pach also removing the execstack like the way above or was that > a "true" adaption of openssl? The patch for OpenSSL was for arc4random, but a small Sed command works just as well now. I want to use the BLFS wiki for changes to BLFS packages, I think it would benefit everyone better.

The Juke interior has bolstered front seats, a wide instrument panel and a center console inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in a high-gloss paint. The gearshift sits on top of the console, inspired by sports car driver/shifter positioning. Three interior colors are available: black, gray and black/red.
Another element of the Juke interior is the Integrated Control (I-CON) system drive mode selector, which offers three different throttle/transmission/steering response settings: Normal for everyday driving, Sport for a more intense performance feel and Eco for maximum efficiency. I-CON also serves as a central command center and display module, adopting different display colors and functions depending on how it is being used. In Climate mode, the display shows the interior temperature settings while the "buttons" display air-flow preferences. In "D-Mode," the buttons change to the three driving modes, and the display shows engine- and driving-related dials and information.
The 2011 Juke comes equipped with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with front air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags, seat-mounted driver and front passenger side-impact air bags and front-seat head restraints.
Juke features an independent strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. Juke AWD models offer a multilink rear suspension design. Front and rear stabilizer bars are standard on all models.
Juke's interior offers space for five adults. In the rear, a fold-down 60/40-split bench seat and flat floor provide flexibility for passengers and cargo.

Maybe its so that Dan can give a chance to let everyone write a review? Instead of denying the right of someone to submit a game that recieved a biased score of 1/10 because the person was banned for something, why not just fix it? Im pretty sure that would be a better soloution.
Or maybe, a bad score because someones holding a grudge over something that happened on a stupid DBZ game. Instead of complaining and bitching, and throwing petty insults, why dont you try to negotiate and suggest things that could.. I dont know, benefit to the reviewing system?

3 Not BadLottie1908 | 06/03/2008 | See all Lottie1908's reviews (69)This is an ok game to play with the family. But as you must be in teams, you need a minumum of four players for this to work well.Most of the challenges are good, but it can take a bit to get used to the controls. Also, some of the challenges involve you mimicking the use of an object, and the game does not alway pick up on what you are doing, which can be frustrating.Also, the game can take a good while to play. It is th first to 20 points, so when you only get 1 or 2 points if you win a game, and when the game cannot pick up what you are doing so you get no points, it seems to take forever.However, all that said ... you can have a mighty good laugh with it, especially if you can get a good group of you together. We played with 10, and we had fun.Overall, it isn't great, but definaltey not bad.My advice: good for family nights in, and if you can get it relativley cheap, buy it!
4 Great fun!Sunflower26 | 22/02/2008 | See all Sunflower26's reviews (2)Played this with a group of lots of different ages and its really good fun - a bit like the board game but funnier, its got a good mix of trivia, acting stuff out and puzzles. Really entertaining and has something in it to appeal to the whole family
3 Good... if you areWiiloveit | 31/10/2008 | See all Wiiloveit's reviews (18)Top 100 Games Reviewer All big board games have been successful because they all have either been easily accessible or good old social fun, which is why we took playing a family game of Cranium on the Wii with some caution.This rendition of the board game has several similarities with the original (the ability to play one of four different mini game genres, involving creativity, performing, thinking and words and the fact that you need a minimum of four players, two per team, before you can get anything going), but there are also many un-similarities. It's these un-similarities that make the Wii version of the game less appealing and less fun than the first, which is a real shame. First of all, you don't have somebody from the other team reveal the answer to you so that you can get playing, and instead you must read answers from the screen using some special "goggles" that come accompanied with the game. Although it can be slightly hard to read some of the text with the goggles, this is a well thought out alternative to the obvious problem many thought Ubisoft would be unable to beat.The other main differences we are thinking about here though include the fact that there isn't as much freedom as the board game. If a question is too hard for the kids (which happens several times on the "data head" mini games), you can't put it back in the pack of cards out of sympathy and try another puzzle. If a player was sooooo close to getting something right but couldn't click on the answer in time, you can't let them off, since the game automatically ends. And the un-forgiving-ness continues, as some mini games which require several puzzles be solved within a minute give you no points if you don't finish them all in time. If you were to complete six out of seven motions with the Wii remote, you wouldn't get a point deducted off the three or four you may have otherwise got, but instead you won't recieve any.Another bad point about the game is that most of it is completely random. You complete randomly chosen games (whereas in the board game you could at least choose the genre) and then compete to win a seemingly random amount of points. It is the first team to get a fixed amount of 24 points that wins the game, but when teams only get one or two points for some mini games, you can sometimes end up playing for ages, which drags out even longer when you're waiting for your turn, since there are no "everybody plays" style mini games in this edition.The bad comments don't end there though, when you also consider that the game doesn't even appear to remember which mini games you've already played, as on my third or fourth trek through the game, we were already getting some puzzles right since we'd seen them before.It isn't all bad however, as many of the mini games have been implemented quite well. The one where you have to shake the remote to the animations are fun, and the games with the drawing and music playback are also very addictive, if once again a little too hard for younger players and a little too hard for some casual gamers to control and get right within the sixty second limit. The fact that the game is also available quite cheap now and contains fifteen different varying puzzle concepts adds to the positive side, and if you can get around the fact that this feels nothing like the board game, there is plenty of fun to be had. One recommendation though: the frustration sometimes caused by this can be very, well, frustrating - so we wouldn't use this game to show off to your friends what your Wii can do, and we'd also only recommend this game for those with a good pop culture knowledge, with at lest one person aged in their teens or above per team.
1 Awful!!!RedWing91 | 05/01/2008 | See all RedWing91's reviews (14)Don't bother wasting your money on this junk! Worst game we have ever owned on any console. I wouldn't even give it one star but I have too to make this review. The games on this were rubbish, there weren't many of them and we always got the same.Weren't happy at all with this!!! 0/10
5 Craniumbelievably FUN! :)))bommskwad | 22/02/2008 | See all bommskwad's reviews (5)Got this for my mum and dad's anniversary present last weekend - all the family were round so we always get the wii out for a few party games!! We used to love the board game and this didn't dissapoint at all, went down a storm with everyone. Creative Cat and Star performer are hilarious! really clever use of the wii remote thoughout - highly recommended!

Volunteering abroad can be a great way to contribute to the global community and foster personal growth, and there are a wide range of opportunities available with many different organizations. Teaching abroad allows you to become integrated into a foreign culture, while helping your own students communicate in a global culture. Additionally, abroad internships are wonderful opportunities to use the theoretical or academic training you will receive at Barnard in a practical setting. Please see below for more information on ways to volunteer, teach and intern abroad. Please contact the Office of Career Development if you would like to make an appointment to discuss individual plans to volunteer, teach or intern abroad.
Many students seek to volunteer abroad to get international experience in a field of interest; learn about development issues; learn about another culture, language and way of life, while making a positive contribution; see a part of the world in a different light; or increase their personal marketability. You can go for a long or short-term placement, individually or with a group. For some opportunities, you pay for the experience; sometimes your travel or living expenses will be covered. If you have development experience, you can apply to be a project leader or for a grant to fund your own project. Whatever your experiences, in most volunteer positions you will find yourself presented with a wealth of possibilities beyond those outlined in the job description and you will be able to stretch your ingenuity and creativity.
After graduation, there are many ways in which students can teach abroad, whether it be teaching English as a primary, foreign or second language. When evaluating where you want to teach, consider the training and experience required for the country, school or program you are looking at and understand that teaching positions for Americans vary from country to country. Additionally, teaching abroad does have its risks and students should be aware schooling systems abroad can differ significantly from those in the United States.
Before teaching abroad, a few things to consider:
Some questions to ask about training programs include:
Cambridge Certificate (CELTA): This certificate has a solid reputation in the international teaching community and high levels of recognition among employers around the world. The certificate is not only offered in the UK, it is also offered in a number of countries around the world. They offer certificates a variety of levels and certificates to teach to a variety of ages.
Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL): This certificate is regarded as having equal standing as the Cambridge Certificate. It also offers training in a multitude of centers around the world. Trinity stipulates a minimum of 130 hours offered intensively over a minimum of four weeks or part-time over a long period. Also the future teacher must take a learning pre-course and requires observed and assessed teaching hours.
There are other TEFL certificates offered online and through other schools. It is highly recommended that you carefully investigate and research the certificate before you commit yourself to the program. There are also Training and Placement programs that will provide you with certification and a teaching placement. Many of these programs have costs associated with them and careful research should be done before investing your time, money and energy.

Many students want to learn first-hand the experience of taking the skills they have developed at Barnard to a more global context through study abroad and/or internships. While interning in organizations or companies in the United States can prepare you to work here, it is important to gain experience and knowledge through cultural immersion if you plan to live or work abroad in an international company or organization. In addition to practical experience, you can travel and get cross-cultural and language training, gain invaluable exposure to international industry, and network overseas and get contacts for further employment.
Before going abroad consider the following:

Stitched Leather Keychain
Cut and stitch a leather key chain for Father's Day with a geometric design. This homemade gift is easy to make and very stylish for Dad. Project designed by Jenya of MyEvaForeva.
Find this project in the free Father's Day Crafts: Blogger Edition 2010 eBook.
- Leather
- Scissors
- Chalk
- Sewing Machine
- Colored Thread
- (optional) baby oil
I first cut out two circles and one rectangular out of leather.
I used chalk to mark the corners. First I made the first four marks(like 12, 3, 6, and 9 on the clock). I then added two extra lines in between each of those.
Before I begun sewing I placed a drop of glue between the two layers to keep the pieces together. I started stitching from the "first" mark, skipping three, to the "fourth".
After I got the triangle shape I stitched towards the "fifth" mark and started stitching the triangle again by skipping three marks. I almost forgot to sew in the holder loop.
I made sure to finish all triangles and stitch along the edges. Then I erased the chalk and applied some baby oil to the surface and the edges of the finished key chain.

Via the Orlando Magic:
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, winner of the last three Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Awards, headlines the NBA All-Defensive First Team, the NBA announced today. Howard totaled 56 points overall, including 27 First Team votes.
Howard earned the 2010-11 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, becoming the first player to win the award three straight seasons. He led the league with 66 double-doubles, while ranking second in rebounds (14.1 rpg) and fourth in blocks (2.38 bpg). He recorded at least 1,000 rebounds and 100 blocked shots for the sixth straight year; since blocked shots were officially tracked in 1973-74, only Moses Malone has done it more (seven seasons). With Howard manning the middle, the [Orlando] Magic allowed 93.5 ppg, ranking fourth in that category.
Also selected to the All-Defensive First Team are guard Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics (39 points), forward LeBron James of the Miami Heat (38 points), forward Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics (33 points) and guard Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers (33 points). Garnett and Bryant each earn All-Defensive First Team honors for the ninth time, tying Michael Jordan and Gary Payton for the most in NBA history.
The NBA All-Defensive Second Team consists of guards Tony Allen of the Memphis Grizzlies and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets, center Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks, forward Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers and forward-center Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls.
The voting panel consisted of the NBA's 30 head coaches, who were asked to select NBA All-Defensive First and Second Teams by position. Coaches were not permitted to vote for players from their own team. Two points were awarded for a First Team vote and one point was awarded for a Second Team vote.

I'm tired of making 2009 comparisons. Yes, the Dwight-centered offense was clicking in 2009. Yes, guys were playing to (and beyond) their potential in 2009. Yes, Jameer Nelson shot the lights out from just inside the three-point line in 2009. Yes, the Magic were true contenders in 2009.
So this is my final plea. No more complaining and moaning about how this team has somehow fallen from grace and made more administrative mistakes than a scandalous charter school. This is it.
The guy who needs to prove himself more than anyone else this year on the Magic roster is Hedo Turkoglu. That is to say the guy who needs to come back to 2009 form is Hedo Turkoglu.
I'll start by saying this — Hedo was a thorn in my side in 2009. Now, before the mud slinging begins, let me explain. I am first and foremost a LeBron James fan, and despite my affiliation with the Magic, I will come out now and admit that at the start of the 2008-2009 season when the Cavs acquired Mo Williams, I hoped more than anything else that it would be the year that LeBron won his first title.
I watched those playoffs closer than I've watched anything before, and admittedly as a straight up diehard LeBron fan.
From the very first quarter of the first game of the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Orlando was going to win the series. It actually wrenched my gut. There was no way around it. This team was too hot, too fluid, too zoned, and had too many leaders, the most deadly of which was Hedo Turkgoglu.
Turk was a beast. He commanded the offense with veteran vigor. He shaped the way the Magic played, and I don't think I'm too far off in saying that he played like a captain — a leader.
It was not just his offensive threat, either. It was the fact that he was long (and confident) enough to stare down LBJ as if to say, "we don't give flying fart about who you are and how you've swept every team in the playoffs to this point. We are the Magic, and we are going to beat you."
It's this very confidence that Turk lacks now.
That confidence that stems from being an underdog — a blue-collar freedom fighter that would take a small market team to the top. People wonder why guys like Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus were so good in those playoffs. I'm not saying they lacked inspiration internally, I'm just making an argument that the 2009 Magic team was firmly anchored in the convicted, damn near cocksure attitude that seeped from Turk's pores.
It's that captain-esque confidence that made Turk who he was, and at the moment, he has seemingly lost it.
Quite honestly, at the end of last season Turk looked lost on the offensive end, lethargic on the defensive end, and indecisive when he had the ball. You didn't get the sense that he might be ready to elevate for an "in your face" three when he's on the wing. You didn't feel him moving to the basket and trying to outwit you in the pick-and-roll. He just looked tired, bored, over the hill, and sort of like he missed his shot.
Here's my theory. Turk has the capacity to be a great player, a smart player, a game-changing player, and a leader. The first thing he needs to do is decide that he can impact this team in unimaginable ways. We often call him a floor captain, but I think Turk needs to take on a role of team captain. And with Dwight's future in limbo, there is no reason why he shouldn't. He's a veteran, and a proven leader, and when he's in that mindset, he's dangerous.
I tried not to mention Dwight in this article, but I'm not convinced that Turk's play will have nothing to do with Dwight's decision to stay or leave Orlando.
I saw that 2009 team as that team you never want to face. Why? Well, for starters, you had Dwight Howard. But he wasn't the voice of the team. He wasn't the front line. My picture of the 2009 Magic was a dangerous squad that you couldn't even get to without going through Turkoglu. He was that pesky individual who made you think, "I can't even get to the meat and potatoes of this team without getting through this guy? Never mind then. I quit." Put differently, as a LeBron/Cavs fan in 2009 clinching my fists tightly during every playoff game, Turk was the guy I was most scared of.
Just think if he could get back to that caliber.
Now here's a quick excursus just to say that I feel sorry for Turk. I wish he had never left Orlando, and it's not totally his fault that he lost some of his swag in moving across the country and back. So I hope this does not come off as a condescending slam-fest where I have nothing good to say about Turk. I just see him as a key ingredient in getting Orlando back on track.
So there you have it. From this point on you will hopefully not hear a word from me about 2009 (unless it gets assigned). My final Christmas wish is for Turk to somehow get his mojo back.

Saturday, rain or shine, 12 of the midcentury-modern gems dotting the Alexandria enclave known as Hollin Hills will open their doors to the public as part of the neighborhood's annual House & Garden Tour.
As if you needed another excuse to don your best Betty Draper shift and shake up a fresh batch of Manhattans.
More than half a century ago, a collaboration by midcentury-modern master architect Charles Goodman and real-estate developer Robert Davenport led to a 225-acre, 450-home planned community that would eventually become one of the best examples of postwar contemporary architecture. Walking through the neighborhood today is like stepping back in time; many of the homes, constructed to be harmonious with the rolling hills in which they are positioned, have been painstakingly restored and outfitted in period-accurate furniture.
If you're an architecture buff, a Saarinen devotee, or, like us, just obsessed with all things midcentury-mod, this is a can't-miss opportunity to live the 1950s life for a few hours. Presale tickets for the self-guided walking tour have long since been snatched up, but you can still purchase tickets on Saturday for $25--as long as they last--at the main registration site (see the website for more information). Early birds will be treated to a brief orientation by architect Thomas Kerns, who's also a Hollin Hills resident.
If you can't wait until Saturday, the interior design department of the Corcoran College of Art and Design is hosting a lecture, "A Community Vision: Hollin Hills, Modern Then and Now," at the Corcoran Gallery Friday evening at 6 at the Corcoran Gallery. See the website for details.
