Holiday Accommodation at Port Douglas – Guest Review
The old Queenslander style of architecture set amidst all the lovely greenery, which attracts the birds so well, is a total delight. Apartments are very well equipped and the balcony is just the best spot to while away a few hours with a book in your hand and coffee or wine to hand as the days slip gently by.
The pool area has been very thoughtfully set out, with full protection from the strong north queensland sun and there is everything to hand for a very enjoyable barbecue beside the pool.
You can wander off over the road, through the paperbarks to Four Mile Beach, passing spots for light snacks and coffee on the way and a place for a full meal as well. This beach really buzzes at time of Carnivale, the family beach day is wonderful – something for everyone. Interesting shopping and eating in the main part of Port. Book a spot at "The White House" and enjoy it all."

"Recently we decided to visit far north Queensland to escape the dreaded winter chill in Melbourne. Everyone we spoke to said we should stay at the Whitehouse at Port Douglas. Imagine our disappointment to find that it was completely booked out at the time of our trip. Still we managed to sneak into the grounds during our stay. We were blown away. We will DEFINITELY stay there next time we visit which hopefully will be very soon. It had everything. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. And as for the apartments, gardens and pools well as expected they were 6 star (I think that is as high as the rating goes – otherwise it gets a better rating)."

Red Scarf In Tikal
One of the most beautiful Mayan sites in Central America is Tikal. Last summer I got the opportunity to visit Tikal. If you are a fan of ruins then this place is a must see. Note: If you do go be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, because you will be exploring which requires walking and climbing.

Although it's still early days and things may change, we're exploring using the barge as an interactive space where people can learn about new technology."

Neil Young, 'Chrome Dreams II' (Reprise)
Young has spent the balance of this century releasing albums terrible (Are You Passionate?), conceptual (Greendale), and gimmicky yet heartfelt (Living With War). So it's strange to encounter a record that's just like he used to make -- distorto riffs for their own sake and quasi roots rock with a tangible sense of loss and hope. The 18-minute "Ordinary People" will grab headlines for its epic workingman's blues, though the anthemic horns flatten the guitar burn. Per usual, his toss-offs -- "Dirty Old Man," "Shining Light" -- would flatter lesser songwriters. Now Hear This: Neil Young - "Ordinary People" WINDOWS MEDIA | QUICKTIME BUY: iTunesAmazon
Clockcleaner, 'Babylon Rules' (Load)
This Philly trio prefers to nuke first and apologize never. Their second album is not as kinetic, nor as indebted to Big Black as 2005's violent debut, Nevermind (the title should give you a hint of their bite-me worldview), but its sludgy, creeping noise still flattens everything in sight. And the occasional well-placed melody makes for an even smarter bomb ("Vomiting Mirrors"). While screamer John Sharkey's corrosive charisma works best when you don't know what the hell he's yelling about, his guitar howls volumes by itself. Now Hear This: Clockcleaner - "Vomiting Mirrors" DOWNLOAD MP3 BUY: iTunesAmazon
Baroness, 'Red Album' (Relapse)
Math metal was invented in Richmond's heavy punk scene, so it's not too surprising that while these epic mathletes joined up in Savannah, Georgia, the members originally hailed from Virginia. Gritty guitars harmonize like Destiny's Child, and the intricate, huge-sounding songs can't decide if they'd rather be in the gutter or reaching for the stars, so leader John Baizley howls about both. Like all good prog-inspired bands, they wedge in an acoustic interlude here and there just for kicks, but quickly return to riffs that knot up tightly without ever becoming Gordian. Now Hear This: Baroness - "Wanderlust" DOWNLOAD MP3 BUY: iTunesAmazon
Celebration, 'The Modern Tribe' (4AD)
With TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek producing, and cameos from Afrobeat collective Antibalas and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner, this Baltimore-based trio struggle to escape the shadow cast by their peers. Drummer David Bergander's ethnic rhythms (see Antibalas) drive Sean Antanaitis' atmospheric keyboards (see TV on the Radio), while Katrina Ford coos, wails, and shrieks (see Karen O). The theatrical pastiche is less chaotic than on 2005's debut but still hits snags: The insistent grooves lack dynamic drama, the instrumentation is overcooked, and Ford's vocals often feel contrived. Now Hear This: Celebration - "Evergreen" DOWNLOAD MP3 Now Watch This: Celebration - "Tame the Savage" BUY: iTunesAmazon
Thurston Moore, 'Trees Outside the Academy' (Ecstatic Peace!)
On the singer/guitarist's second, song-oriented solo album, he doesn't stray far from his main band's template -- the chord shapes are familiar (albeit acoustic), Lee Ranaldo's wonky leads are filled in by a violin (however mellow), and Trees Outside the Academy slots in beautifully with Sonic Youth's strikingly consistent 21st-century work. Moore's first solo record, 1995's Psychic Hearts, was reissued last year and has aged beautifully. This one will probably sound just as forward-thinking a decade from now, even the final track, a portrait of the musician as a 13-year-old performance artist. Now Hear This: Thurston Moore - "Fri/end" DOWNLOAD MP3 More on Thurston Moore: September 2007: The SPIN Interview BUY: iTunesAmazon
Qui, 'Love's Miracle' (Ipecac)
Fifteen years ago, the Jesus Lizard were the most explosive live band in underground rock, and David Yow was their manic, often inebriated, and frequently naked frontman. So hearing him come out of retirement with Qui, a noise-prog duo that's been kicking around L.A. since 2000, is a bit like watching Michael Jordan play horse. Qui's huffing skree just doesn't have the immediacy of the Lizard's Zep thud. But Yow's ragged bellow has aged nicely into a wheezing croon, and on the shuddering "Freeze," he artfully essays an ancient dirty joke about a penguin and a mechanic. Now Hear This: Qui - "Freeze" DOWNLOAD MP3 BUY: iTunesAmazon
Jason Isbell, 'Sirens of the Ditch' (New West)
Prior to leaving the group earlier this year, Jason Isbell was the best thing to happen to the Drive-By Truckers since Lynyrd Skynyrd. And on his solo debut, the author of incisive Truckers' tearjerkers "Outfit" and "Danko/Manuel" cranks out harmonized power pop ("Brand New Kind of Actress"), sticky Southern rock ("Try"), a powerful Iraq War lament ("Dress Blues"), and dark yet sprightly country ("The Magician"), all but one aided by his former bandmates. Given time, Isbell could be roots rock's Flannery O'Connor. Now Hear This: Jason Isbell - "Brand New Kind of Actress Song" QUICKTIME BUY: iTunesAmazon
Pig Destroyer, 'Phantom Limb' (Relapse)
Virginia's Pig Destroyer have been peddling high-octane, face-ripping, black-humor grindcore for a decade, and here they push their sound into an even fiercer realm. Guitarist Scott Hull's sweaty juggernaut riffs practically slice your flesh, but this is also a lyrics band, with J.R. Hayes screaming bon mots like "Your legs look so sexy out of context" and "Got no use for psychiatry / I can talk to the voices in my head for free." Phantom Limb is funny, sick, smart, and possibly the year's best metal album. Now Hear This: Pig Destroyer - "Loathsome" DOWNLOAD MP3 BUY: Amazon
Pissed Jeans, 'Hope for Men' (Sub Pop)
Of today's numerous punk bands reminding us that the Jesus Lizard and their queasy ilk didn't die in vain, this quartet of mopes from Allentown, Pennsylvania, might be the best. Their blown-amp sludge punk demonstrates, as noise-rock godfather Steve Albini once put it, "how fucking holy distortion sounds on just about anything." Amen, brother. Matt Korvette's hotfoot howl stays safely buried under landfills of guitar grumble and bar-fight drum pound, but he sounds like he's just dying to break out and rub himself on you. Of course he says he's "not a people person!" Who wants friendly scum? Now Hear This: Pissed Jeans - "I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)" DOWNLOAD MP3 BUY: iTunesAmazon
Neurosis, 'Given to the Rising' (Neurot)
As prog-metal bands multiply like flies on a rotting corpse (Isis, Pelican, Cult of Luna, etc.), these Bay Area vets produce the genre's heaviest album since Bill and Monica. "To the Wind" Rolodexes their skill set, from a gorgeous, spacey intro that mocks imitators with its casual beauty to full-contact rock to Scott Kelly's 29-second, senses-shattering scream. Track after track, pretenders to the throne are slashed and burned with detailed dynamics, elephantine riffs, and actual grooves. As Steve Von Till puts it on "Hidden Faces": "I. Will. See you coming!" Your move, Tool. Now Hear This: Neurosis - "Water is Not Enough" DOWNLOAD MP3 Now Watch This: Neurosis - "Given to the Rising" BUY: iTunesAmazon

Singer Brian Kennedy has caused amazement in Irish rugby circles after refusing to confirm or deny reports of a gay fling with a top international player.
The Sunday Independent carries the Kennedy story but doesn't say if the player involved is Irish or not.
According to the paper Kennedy, who regularly sings the Ireland's Call anthem before Irish matches, has been rumoured to have 'hooked up' with a well-known rugby international.
The Belfast born star, soon to publish his autobiography, simply refused to dismiss the rumour when he spoke to the paper.
"Oh dear. I can't confirm or deny," Kennedy is quoted as saying, just 24 hours after the Six Nations win over Scotland.
Kennedy did say: "What I like in a guy is old-school masculinity. I certainly would be very attracted to an alpha male guy. The bigger and stronger the better.
"I sometimes meet gentlemen who are at the top of what they do from a sports point of view.
"All you need to know is that they are some of the finest men on the planet. I'm friendly with some of them. And some from the other teams.
"I lived in England for a long time so I got to know one or two over there too."
Currently a judge on the Irish version of The Voice show, Kennedy also talked of his match-day experiences singing for the Irish rugby crowd.
"Coming from the Falls Road you can imagine standing on our big beautiful pitch - England on the one side, Ireland on the other, and our President in front of me," he added.
"There's no greater feeling. I feel so proud. You hear the whole crowd singing. In that moment you understand what it must be like to be Bono singing on a normal day."
In the interview, Kennedy did refer to his friendships with Irish rugby stars.
"I've met most of them and the ones I've met are very friendly. Brian O'Driscoll is obviously a total sweetheart," he said.
"I remember I had been particularly heart-broken at one point and I met him out socially. He had just started to date Amy and looked really happy.
"He asked me how I was doing and I was pretty upset and we had a conversation. The next day, he sent me a text saying 'you're a great guy, the right guy will come along I know it. And don't you worry about anything'. It's so sweet that he thought to do that.
"I'm pretty friendly with Alan Quinlan too, who is an absolute sweetheart of a man. He is an alpha male and very up for being vulnerable. Which is an incredible quality in someone so strong. I think that makes him even more of a man. We have a really good friendship."

PHOENIX -- Tracy McGrady shot out of a slump and Shaquille O'Neal shoved his way up the NBA career scoring list.
And there was a fracas in the waning seconds of the third quarter that resulted in two ejections and seven technical fouls.
Fast Facts
• Rockets guard Rafer Alston and Suns forward Matt Barnes were ejected with Tracy McGrady, Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Nash all receiving technical fouls after a scuffle.
• Houston improved to 5-3 this season with four of their five wins this season coming by 10 or more points.
• Shaquille O'Neal passed John Havlicek for 10th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
-- ESPN research
One-sided victories seldom have as many story lines as the Houston Rockets' 94-82 rough-and-tumble win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.
McGrady scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half, 15 in a brilliant third quarter, as the Rockets pulled away to lead by as many as 19 points.
McGrady, 1-for-16 shooting in his previous two games, made 11 of 18 shots, going 9-of-14 in the second half as the Rockets used a tough defense to dominate the Suns and spoil O'Neal's big night.
The Suns center scored 18 points to move past John Havlicek into 10th on the NBA career scoring list. O'Neal also grabbed 13 rebounds.
What was mostly a shoving match broke out just after McGrady's 3-pointer put Houston ahead 74-55 with 27 seconds left in the third quarter. Houston's Rafer Alston, upset after getting a shoulder from Matt Barnes, shoved the Phoenix player at midcourt.
"He just took a cheap shot," Alston said. "If you look at the replay, the ref is standing there watching it. It was a dirty play. Good thing he didn't connect and knock my teeth out."
Steve Nash rushed into middle of things and was pushed to the court by McGrady, who in turn was shoved down by O'Neal, who with one arm moved the entire scrum several feet.
"Somebody pushed Steve so I had to take care of my little man," O'Neal said. "It wasn't nothing serious, though, just a push and shoving match."
McGrady felt O'Neal's strength.
"The big fella pushed the heck out of me," McGrady said. "It's basketball, it happens and after that we just went back to playing. A big thing for us is we kept our composure and won this ballgame."
After coaches and officials separated the players, the referees huddled and decided to eject Alston and Barnes with double technicals. McGrady, Nash and O'Neal all drew technical fouls, an outcome that was greeted by a chorus of boos from the crowd. The net result was a technical free throw for Houston, which Yao Ming missed.
"It's just a physical game out there," Barnes said. "I tried to get through a screen and I guess I was too rough on him so he tried to retaliate. It was just a bunch of pushing. I really didn't think anyone should get thrown out because there were no punches thrown."
Yao Ming added 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Rockets, who led by 19 entering the fourth quarter.
Aaron Brooks scored 19 and Alston 15 for Houston. The Suns' Leandro Barbosa scored 18 on 5-for-14 shooting.
"We got back defensively and the guys followed the game plan with what we wanted to do," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "We wanted to keep them out of the paint and keep [Amare] Stoudemire from getting to the rim or the free throw line. We did a decent job trying to cover Shaq. It was a combination. I thought our guys did a good job and Phoenix had a tough night shooting."
Phoenix, the best shooting team in the NBA going into the game (51.5 percent), shot just 38 percent (32-for-85).
"Give them a lot of credit," Suns coach Terry Porter said. "We knew their guys were going to come in here and play much better than they did when they got embarrassed against the Lakers the other night. We just didn't have it."
Houston outscored the Suns 15-8 to start the second quarter, taking a 38-30 lead on consecutive jumpers by Brooks. The Suns missed three shots and had two turnovers in their last five possessions of the half to trail 44-37 at the break on Ron Artest's 18-footer at the buzzer.
Artest missed his first seven shots before his buzzer-beater. He finished 1-for-11. Stoudemire scored just two points on 1-for-4 shooting and didn't go to the foul line in the first half. He finished with 11 points, going 5-of-13 from the floor.
Game notes
With 26,402 points, O'Neal needs 267 to pass Dominique Wilkins into ninth place. ... The Portland Trail Blazers will retire Porter's No. 30 on Dec. 13. Three nights later, the Blazers will retire No. 30 again, this time for Bob Gross. Gross' ceremony comes the night the Suns play Portland. ... Nash's halfcourt basket at the end of the third was ruled no good after a review. ... The Rockets were on their fourth stop of a five-game road trip that ends Friday in San Antonio.

Overall Experience
Pretty good
06 March 2015
I was able to get a night of sleep before going back to work the next morning.
04 March 2015
Very nice suite, reasonable prices. Indoor pool was fun.
Overall Good hotel, but bad service
04 March 2015
The room itself was nice, breakfast, staff, everything great. But was here for business which did not reflect on my bill. Have been many, many times before with a fixed rate for business in the area. Was told would be so this time as well. When receiving my bill via email, none of the charges for either of the days matched the rate I was told I was being charged. Also, received a handicap room after specifically asking not to have one (the showers always flood the bathroom floor). Will be back in the area several more times over the coming months, but will not be returning to this location again!
Dont do it
03 March 2015
Did not care for this hotel at all. i chose randomly because they offer a discount for our company. Will choose differently next time.

Your images look good. Looks as if many ideas have spurred in the last couple of weeks.
Moving forward, I really want you to think about target users and how your relationships with NFPs might help you to make these upcoming tests more productive. Also, please consider how you will articulate the relationships with NFPs to your audience and critics and in your thesis overall. What role has/will your NFPs play? What have you gained from this relationship? What might you need in coming weeks from them?

Royal Navy in firefight with Somali pirates
(MoD) The Royal Navy described the boarding as 'compliant'
Michael Evans, Defence Editor and Rob Crilly
Pirates caught redhanded by one of Her Majestys warships after trying to hijack a cargo ship off Somalia made the grave mistake of opening fire on two Royal Navy assault craft packed with commandos armed with machineguns and SA80 rifles.
In the ensuing gunfight, two Somali pirates in a Yemeni-registered fishing dhow were killed, and a third pirate, believed to be a Yemeni, suffered injuries and subsequently died. It was the first time the Royal Navy had been engaged in a fatal shoot-out on the high seas in living memory.
By the time the Royal Marines boarded the pirates vessel, the enemy had lost the will to fight and surrendered quietly. The Royal Navy described the boarding as compliant.
Yesterdays dramatic confrontation, the latest in a series of piracy incidents in the Gulf of Aden in recent months, took place 60 miles south of the Yemeni coast and involved the Royal Navy Type 22 frigate, HMS Cumberland, which has a Royal Marine unit on board, on short-notice standby to engage in non-compliant boardings.
HMS Cumberland, on anti-piracy partol as part of a Nato maritime force, detected the dhow which was towing a skiff, and identified it as a vessel which had been involved in an attack on the Danish-registered MV Powerful earlier yesterday. The pirates had opened fire on the cargo boat with assault rifles.
Under rules of engagement which allows the Royal Navy to intervene when pirates are positively identified, the commandos were dispatched from the frigate in rigid-raider craft and sped towards the pirates dhow. The Ministry of Defence said the Marines circled the pirates boat to try and persuade them to stop.
As they approached, however, several of the pirates, a mixed crew of Somalis and Yemenis, swung their assault rifles in their direction and opened fire. The MoD said the Royal Marines returned fire in self defence, and then boarded the dhow a stolen Yemeni-registered fishing vessel.
The commandos found guns and other paraphernalia on board the dhow and a handful of terrified pirates. The MoD said it was unclear whether the Yemeni who died had been shot by the Marines or was wounded from a previous incident involving the pirates.
The gun battle was in stark contrast to the Royal Navys last encounter with a boatful of armed men - when crew members of HMS Cornwall, also a Type 22 frigate, patrolling in the Gulf in rigid raiders, were surrounded by heavily armed Iranian Revolutionary Guards in March last year. Eight sailors, including a woman, Leading Seaman Faye Turney, and seven Marines were taken hostage without a shot being fired, and detained for 13 days. The Commons Defence Committee described the incident as a national embarrassment.
Yesterdays battle signalled a new policy of maximum robustness for the Royal Navy on the high seas. Captain Mike Davis-Marks, a senior spokesman for the Navy, said: This is bound to have an impact on pirates who for the last two years have been getting away with seizing vessels and receiving large ransoms. Now suddenly theres the threat of death and this may force them to think again, but they are determined people, so well have to see.
The Russians claimed a helicopter based on their own frigate Neustrashimy had also taken part in yesterdays battle, though the Royal Navy knew nothing about it. The Royal Marine commandos who boarded the pirates dhow were supported by a Lynx helicopter from HMS Cumberland, the MoD said.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Are there any good lists of type design events this year? :)
This year is loaded.
Not counting the TDC non-Latin workshops that would be nice
to attend, I myself am shooting for no fewer than six (although
even if only 2-3 of those click I'll still be happy).
In chronological order:
Armenia mini-conference
2nd Istanbul conference
Bangkok non-Latin conference
There's also the India stuff, and TypeCamp.
By 'India stuff' you mean http://www.typoday.in - or is there more? :)
By 'Bangkok non-Latin' you mean http://www.bitsmm.org ?
India: yes.
Bangkok: no, but that looks cool too!
What event were you thinking of in Bangkok then? :)
Uh, I don't want to steal anybody's thunder... :-)
But I'll email you as soon as it's confirmed.
Not counting the TDC non-Latin workshops
I was just talking about my own schedule/finances,
and that just seems to much to hope for. But let's
see how things pan out!
BTW, it turns out that -due to the floods- BITS 2011 was
postponed. It will now take place on May 25-26 of this year.
James, all TDC non-latin workshops you link to were in 2011, and I believe the Hebrew one never happened. Are there going to be more in 2012?
All of those years should be 2012. I'll alert the TDC to the error.
News flash:
The Bangkok non-Latin conference has been postponed to July of 2013.
BTW, I'll be speaking at the Granshan conference in Yerevan and

Someone should put together a convention closer to SC.
[Brian, I like your new icon very much. Is there the rest of a typeface to go with this splendid 'g'?]
This year, I'll be at the RIT 'Reading Digital Symposium' later this month, and at ISType in Istanbul. Probably also at TypeCon, but that's not confirmed yet. Possibly at the Unicode conference in the autumn.
[John: Thanks. This came from some sketching and I drew the glyph by itself. I think it works best as it's own icon. I did try to make some matching glyphs but it proved rather difficult. Maybe some time I will try again.]

It's fair to assume that the last thing most people – even most late night hosts – would ask Ice T should they have him locked in a conversation is how he feels about Fifty Shades of Grey. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is not most people, and when Ice T (Ice? Mr. T?) appeared on his show last night, Fallon asked him about America's current cultural obsession. Ice T had some opinions! They're kind of great!

A new dance video for Sam Hunt's "Leave the Night On" exemplifies his willingness to push country music's boundaries further than perhaps anyone before him. It could earn him an ACM this spring, or maybe just a sweet performance of the chart-topping song. Hunt and hip-hop choreographer Matt Steffanina teamed up to create the video, available during this exclusive Taste of Country premiere.

Read More Kidz Bop, Vol. 16 is easily one of the most kid-friendly collections of songs that the franchise has put together to date. There are a few fun, danceable songs at the album's beginning and end, including Kristinia DeBarge's Rihanna-esque "Goodbye" and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" -- which is so goofy that it might as well have heavily Auto-Tuned kids' voices on it -- but ballads make up most of the collection. The Kidz Bop Kids' version of Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" and the covers of Beyoncé's brooding "If I Were a Boy," the Fray's "You Found Me," and songs by Nickelback and Shinedown are fine but unremarkable. Even Kidz Bop usual suspects like the Pussycat Dolls and P!nk are subdued this time around, with covers of relatively somber hits like "I Hate This Part" and "Please Don't Leave Me." "Circus," the first Britney Spears song to appear on a Kidz Bop collection since Kidz Bop, Vol. 6, enlivens the album, along with a version of Kanye West's "Heartless" and a cover of Hannah Montana's "Hoedown Throwdown," which ends up being less irritating than the original song from the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack. The new wrinkle Kidz Bop, Vol. 16 offers is its final song: Sinái Rose's "LOL" is an original, a brassy pop track based on text-speak. Will Kidz Bop continue to use its popularity to introduce new artists as well as reinterpret already established ones? Will there be Kidz Bopped covers of songs introduced on earlier collections? Only time will tell. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Read Less

Several speakers took potshots at senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra during a debate on the adjournment motion on black money in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
If it was Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who began his intervention with a reference to Mr. Advani's recent yatra, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad remarked that the octogenarian leader had taken the trouble to traverse the length and breadth of the country to create awareness of black money and corruption.
"I have an old relationship with Mr. Advani," Mr. Prasad remarked in chaste Hindi as members seemed to enjoy the lighter moments. As the then Chief Minister of Bihar, Mr. Prasad had cut short Mr. Advani's Ram Rath yatra in October 1990 and put him under house arrest.
In his intervention, Mr. Mukherjee said that he would have liked to know the outcome of Mr. Advani's yatra. He wondered why Mr. Advani had undertaken the arduous journey from one end of the country to the other.
In another attack at the Opposition, Mr. Mukherjee said he did not want to "win any brownie points" and would not indulge in providing "fancy figures" on the quantum of black money stashed by Indians abroad.
Referring to declarations submitted by BJP MPs that they did not hold illegal money in foreign banks, Mr. Mukherjee said: "Nobody will say he has black money," as amused members thumped their desks.
BJP youth wing president Anurag Thakur dwelt upon national security and wondered why even after a decade of the Parliament House attack, the convict Mohammad Afzal had not been hanged.
Union Minister for Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah (National Conference) sought to remind Mr. Thakur about the IC-814 hijack during the NDA rule and when terrorists were "escorted" by a BJP minister to Kandahar in Afghanistan. "Was India not a soft state at that time?" he asked to thumping of desks from Congress members.
Asaduddin Owaisi of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen trained his guns on the Sangh Parivar. He sought to know how much money the Sangh Parivar had collected in the name of constructing Ram temple during late 80s and early 90s. ``Where has that money gone? The RSS also got money from abroad, where has it gone,'' he said.
M. Thambidurai (AIADMK) said because of black money entire economy was being jeopardised. "It is product of corruption. It is a very serious matter,'' he said.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- There isn't much more pressure a team could face this early in the season.
No. 19 Memphis arrived in the Bahamas as one of four ranked teams playing in the eight-team Battle 4 Atlantis.Losses to VCU and Minnesota by a combined 22 points left the Tigers in the seventh-place game on Saturday, against a Northern Iowa team that had taken No. 2 Louisville down to the wire in the opening round.Chris Crawford and Joe Jackson, two of Memphis' better players who had been struggling, scored 18 and 15 points, respectively, in a 52-47 victory."If we were 0-3 nobody would want to be around me," Memphis coach Josh Pastner said. "Rocks would have been thrown and maybe it would hit the players. We'd have to look out for snipers after we got off the plane. What's important is we won. We needed some momentum."Memphis (3-2) was the only ranked team not to reach the semifinals and things didn't look so great late in the first half against the Panthers, who led 26-12 with 4:34 to play."We just didn't get some rhythm (in the tournament overall)," Pastner said. "It's a long season. There are going to be some peaks and valleys. This is a good team we played. They'll beat a lot of teams going forward. It's not easy getting back-to-back losses come into a morning game then get down 14 in the first half and come out with a win. I'm really proud of my guys. That's why we play these tournaments. That win is going to help down the line in March."Jackson, considered one of the better point guards in the country, entered the game with 12 assists and 11 turnovers and was averaging 8.8 points for the season. Pastner only played him 7 minutes in the 78-65 loss to VCU -- none in the second half.Crawford came in averaging 7.3 points and was shooting 31 percent overall and 21 percent on 3s. He was 6 for 10 on Saturday and made 4 of 6 from 3-point range."I put Chris at the point and Joe off the ball. I wanted to get Joe going and I wanted to get Chris going," Pastner said. "We're a better team when our guard play is better and it hasn't been good. So I wanted to get some mojo back on the perimeter, and we did."Crawford, who had 12 rebounds, hit a 3-pointer to start a 10-0 run that closed the first half and Jackson ended the spurt with another 3 to make it 26-22.The Tigers never really took control in the second half but they grabbed the lead for good with 4:04 left when Crawford scored on a layup to make it 42-41. Jackson's three-point play after a bad turnover by Northern Iowa's Deon Mitchell made it 48-41 with 36 seconds left. Crawford hit two free throws with 13 seconds to go to make it 52-44."I've been playing shooting guard all my life at the 2. It's natural for me to slide to the 2. I did it in my high school, that's all I did," Jackson said. "It has been a tough tournament for me. I have to continue to get better. Overall we got the win and that's the important thing."Right now it's not about the position I'm playing. I just want to make the team win. I don't care what position I play, as long as I'm on the floor."Crawford said he also just wants to do whatever he can to help the Tigers win."I'm very comfortable playing point guard," he said. "Getting my teammates involved and stepping it up on the defensive end, I just want to do whatever it takes to win."Mitchell led the Panthers (3-3) with 18 points and five assists, but Northern Iowa shot 31.4 percent (16 of 51), including going 7 of 27 (25.9 percent) from 3-point range."In the three games we have played down here, I thought our first 20 minutes was very sharp," Panthers coach Ben Jacobson said. "We moved the ball well and found guys in the right places. We rebounded better in the first two games. The hard part is we didn't have enough to show for it."The Tigers, who lost 84-75 to Minnesota in the first round, had 15 turnovers against Northern Iowa, many of them unforced against the Panthers' zone.Northern Iowa lost 51-46 to Louisville in the first round and 66-60 to Stanford in the consolation semifinals."I feel like the first few games we weren't flowing with our usual motion," Mitchell said. "This game we slowed it down. We needed a win and wanted it real bad so we just slowed it down and went through our sets."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Tips On Self-Publishing
I recently decided to self-publish a compilation of my work. It is something that Ive wanted to do for a long time, but have always put off for several reasons; the imagined cost, basic lethargy in editing the damn thing, and laziness when it came to mail-outs to publishers. If this sounds like you so far, you might be able to benefit from a few things I learned along the way. Below I will discuss almost everything you will need to know before jumping into a self-publishing project, some pitfalls to avoid, and approximately what to expect to come out of your pocket. (Im talking about money, pervert.)
Once I decided I was definitely going forward with this project, my first step was to find publishing houses/printers that offered the services that I wanted. There are many resources for this, but I found the below link most helpful in finding presses that would actually not only turn around a quote quickly, but were also willing to respond to questions in a timely manner:
At nearly every website listed on that page, you can fill out an online quote form and get either an immediate or emailed response. Prices will vary depending upon your options (discussed below), but those of you who have thought of pursuing this and have put it off for money reasons may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
While filling out a quote, you have a ridiculous amount of options. Dont worry about your budget yet. Worry about getting the quotes first, then seeing how you can tweak options to get the project in your bankroll ballpark. Go ahead and get a quote for your absolute ideal print options, then do a round of bottom-line quotes and compare the differences. However, before you do this you need to be prepared to answer a few questions this will save you a LOT of time and will help you decide which presses to bother submitting a quote request to (see especially #8 below).
The general options you should have ready to answer before spending time filling out quote forms are:
1. The SIZE you want your book to be. If you have to, go to your bookshelf and use a ruler to figure it out. This seems obvious, but the difference between 5.5x8.5 and 6x9 is slight enough for you to need to know this beforehand.
2. The TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAGES your project has/will have. If you need to estimate, thats fine, but keep in mind they charge X amount of cents per page, so try to put it close.
3. The PAPER TYPE you would like. I have not found the price difference between the options to be a major factor in my decisions, but just for your information, 50# white is going to be your cheapest option
and the pages will look it. I opted for 60# natural, mostly because Id like these books to last a long time.
4. COLOR SPECS for the text. Will you have pictures in color or any color other than black on the pages? In my case I do have a few pictures, but they are B&W and I am not concerned about a high quality, sharp image, so I simply put black text only, saving myself some money.
5. HOW YOU WILL SUBMIT THE WORK. Most of these companies are geared toward electronic submissions meaning MS Word, Adobe PDF, etc. will be sent to them through email or FTP. PDF is the preferred way to do this, and if you can get it in PDF format to look exactly how youd like it (called camera ready), it can save you a bundle of cash. In my case, I chose to submit an MS Word document, and its costing me an extra 20 to 40 dollars to do so. Basically be sure to calculate in any diversion from their preferred process.
6. COVER BINDING. Again, seems obvious, but whether you go with hardcover or perfect bind (a soft cover, glossy or matte) you are going to have a lot of options, so have a picture in your mind of what youd like your project to look like. I wound up going for a sturdier perfect bind (12pt), for reasons mentioned above, but I doubt the difference will be major and could have just as easily gone with 10pt. The cost difference between the two is fairly negligible.
7. COVER COLORS. Options here are usually single to several (4) color process. I wound up speaking with several people at several different presses, and was told that choosing the 4 color process is NOT going to show a big price jump in the job, so go ahead and go for it on the cover. On a similar note to the text options, the COVER FILE TYPE will matter also; just keep that in mind (see #5.)
8. HOW MANY BOOKS YOU WANT PRINTED. You want to know this before hitting the quote sites, because each house is different in the amount it will print. I wasted quite a bit of time early on getting quotes from presses that wouldnt do a run of less than 500. I my case, I wanted to start with a very short run of 50 and see how that did**. I went ahead and requested quotes from a few places that had a minimum of 100, because I wanted to see how that affected the price of the job, but I mostly focused on presses that would do very short runs. Some will do even one book at a time, but considering additional costs and set up fees, its not really worth doing runs of 20 or less.
** - Most of these presses are Print On Demand presses, meaning they will keep a copy of your files, and if you run out of books, all you have to do is call them and tell them to print up some more (even just one book at a time.) Very convenient.
9. BAR CODES. Ill discuss this below.
10. OTHER OPTIONS. These include: shrink wrapping options and proofs. A proof is what they mail to you so you can look at it before giving them the go ahead to do the run. This usually breaks down to either a text copy cheaper, or a fully copy of the book ridiculously expensive.
Now lets talk money. Your amount of pages isnt going to change, and each press will come up slightly different on that. It is NOT going to be terribly expensive. I have a 240 page project, with the above listed options, and my quotes ranged from 4 to 7 dollars per book with a 50 book run. The quote I went with was 5.07 per book, not bad at all, and that was for a range of 1 to 99 books. It was not the cheapest quote I received, but I liked the presentation of the quote, the accessibility of a sales manager to talk to, and the fact that the press I chose was an established name. Service will go a long way, so get comfortable with the people who will be handling your project. Now, the price for the books was great, but as with everything in life, there are the other fees. Be prepared for something similar to this** (Ive rounded the numbers):
Shrink wrap, sets of 5 = 3.00
Text proof = 10.00 (If I had chosen a bound version to look at, it would have been 75.00!)
File setup = 40.00
Text Conversion = 20.00
Cover Conversion = 20.00
Bar Code = 20.00
Shipping = varies
** - Remember, some fees can be dropped if you submit camera ready files.
So, for a 240 page book with a color cover, on nice paper, doing a run of 50 books, it costs approximately 400 dollars. $8 per book total, for the first run. If I decide to print more up in the future, it will be 5.07 per book, plus shrink wrap and shipping no other fees. And this price is with a few bells and whistles, not just the cheapest options. Im sure those of you looking to save as much as possible, or looking to do a larger initial run, can get the book price well below this amount.
What size run you want to do will depend upon what your intentions are for the project. You will need to consider this beforehand, because if you plan to sell it in bookstores or online you will need an ISBN number. A little bit I learned about ISBNs:
1. They arent cheap. The minimum you can buy is a block of ten, which is $225. There are also several other fees amounting to around $40. So, plan on coughing up $300 for a block. Always anticipate some hidden fee somewhere. The ISBN application form is here commerce.bowker.com/isbnsan/st…;
2. Im not looking to establish a dynasty with this ridiculous book of mine, so I figured there had to be a lot of authors out there sitting on unused ISBNs. There are, but the catch with ISBNs is that owners are not transferable. Basically, this means no sharing of ISBN blocks unless you can find an author willing to let you use one of his. The problem is that this puts the owner of the ISBN liable for many issues, and that you, the author, are reliant upon the owner of the ISBN block to update any information pertaining to your project that is associated with that ISBN. For example, contact or order information. Avoid a sharing situation.
3. So now you have an ISBN, how does it get converted into a Bar Code? Most presses can do it for you (for a fee, naturally). Ive read that you can convert it yourself cheaply with the proper software. A bar code, in most cases, is NOT required to sell your book, the ISBN is often sufficient.
4. They can be added to your project later if things really start to take off with your work.
There are marketing options out there for every level of project. In my case, I am choosing to self market locally in mom-and-pop bookstores that would be happy to feature a local author. I will probably mention it on DA and other websites where I feel someone might be interested. These are examples of small-time promoting you can do without an ISBN. There is always the option of eating the price of a book, and sending the book itself off for consideration of publication in chapbook contests and the like. I dont anticipate a lot of sales, and the furthest I may go is sending a copy in for review to a weekly magazine that my target market reads. Therefore, I am choosing NOT to get an ISBN/bar code, and in choosing so, can NOT sell it in larger bookstores or nearly anywhere online that is an actual marketplace. With the next run, I may add one I am simply taking the cautious approach. (see END NOTES below for more on this)
Some of you may be more ambitious and will get the ISBN immediately. Ive researched this a little, which should help you:
1. Many of your larger chain bookstores will actually be happy to feature a local author regionally. For instance, I visited a manager of a Borders bookstore. We took a look at her local interest section, which is where you will also find local self-publishing authors. Depending upon where you live, you will have a few or not to my surprise, Orlando had only ONE self-published author on the shelf. It was a fifteen year-old who had written about his religious beliefs and published it himself. The manager and I talked for a little bit, and she gave me the regional managers card. She told me that the regional manager usually will take a local self-publishing author and distribute their book regionally. Regionally, in my case, is 4 stores. And not only will the regional manager place it on shelves, but I was told that she will also set up and coordinate book signings for the author! I dont see why this wouldnt apply to other large chain stores as well, ESPECIALLY if you choose a press that has in-house marketing and distribution. So if you are going to market aggressively, be sure not to overlook your local options.
2. Presses/publishers that have marketing and distribution options are all over the link at the top of this article. Since I did not choose this option, I cannot recommend any one over the other. For those of you interested in this option, I did discuss it shortly with one press: www.lightningsource.com. … reply should give you an idea of what offerings to expect in this area:
If you choose wholesale distribution we would list your book in the databanks of Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com. Then for any orders that come to us through those channels we would pay you the wholesale price minus the wholesale print cost. Your only upfront cost is your set up fee plus 12.00 per year for keeping your title in these databanks. All marketing and promotion is up to you.
There is a service for every level of your project, including companies that do nothing but focus on marketing your project for you. A list can be found on the same website that is noted in the beginning of this article, here is a direct link:
I only glanced briefly at these, as for the scope of my project the services offered did not justify the price. For those of you thinking on a larger scale, that list should provide plenty of resources.
One last note I'd like to throw in - be prepared to EDIT EDIT EDIT. When you have gone over your work and are ready to send it off, go ahead and edit it again. For ANY change you need to make once they have the files, you will be charged. I cannot stress this enough. Edit your work until you are sick of looking at it, and then check it again for any mistakes. You are creating something that represents you and will outlast you, do it right.
If anyone has been seriously considering this and has questions after reading this, or is in the process and would like to bounce an idea or two off of someone else who has gone through the process, feel free to note my DA account. I check it occasionally.
Best of luck in your self-publishing pursuits all,
- nonculture
1. After a lot of searching, I did manage to find an ezine website that will supply you an ISBN for $30. I am currently waiting for a response as to whether or not just anyone can buy one from them for that price. If you are at this stage and would like to know, just note me. Keep in mind that this is still considered a sharing option which I dont recommend if you can afford to get your own. My plans, if I can acquire one this cheaply, are to print any run beyond my 2nd under my own ISBN. All that is required is that you list in your book that a previous version was printed with your shared ISBN. Here is the site:
2. This article does not mention copyrighting your work. If you have not done so, do it. It is much cheaper and easier than I thought. All you have to do is fill out a simple form and mail it in with a check for $30 and a copy of your work. In my case I am waiting to use my text proof for this purpose, though honestly this is probably later in the game than is recommended. Here is the link that steps you through the process:
