Our trips around Ushuaia
This our route out to the islands and the mythical Martial Glaciet
Shelley and Scott
The beached tugboat in Ushuaia
Day 19 – Sunday 30th October
Slept in a little because we figured that being Sunday not much would be open…and we were right. After our breakfast we walked once more down the hill into the centre of town and the streets were near deserted. The day was a little overcast but we figured it would still be a good day to head up the mountain to the Martial Glacier. Found the spot where we could catch the bus from and the ticket seller explained with his very best English that the Ski lift that gets you half way up the mountain wasn't working and that the last section of the walk was off limits due to lots of snow. Shelley had left the room this morning without her gloves and coat so the thought of trudging through snow immediately cancelled the day's activities.
Instead we thought we would have a short walk around the harbour and maybe book a cruise for this afternoon. On this walk we discovered the wreck of an old tugboat that had been deliberately run aground as an attraction and the towns glistening new casino. We always seem shocked when we see these large casinos in
A lone seal
small towns but then Australia has a small one in every single pub.
After walking for an hour we went onto the area that contained all the kiosks selling tickets for the harbour cruises. We had spoken to two others a couple of days ago to get an idea of what they had to offer and costs, and today we had a chat to a guy at Rumba Sur. He offered us a 5 and half hour cruise down the Beagle Channel seeing all the sights for $300 pesos each. Was about the best deal so far but Shelley managed to quickly haggle him down to $250 pesos (AU$55) each. Despite Shelley struggling with the Spanish she can still beat people down in price…..maybe we should go looking for a used car.
It was now 1.30 and the boat wasn't going to leave till 3.30 and it then wouldn't get back till nearly 9 so we decided to have some lunch before we went. On the way back up to our hotel there is a take away food joint called Prontos, where we had got some Empanadas on our first night so we thought we would get some more today
A group of seals
for lunch. The woman running it comes across as a bit of a hard case but appears to have unlimited reserves of patience with our bad Spanish. I think she was happy to see us back and helped us through the ordering process. Got a bag of freshly cooked Empanadas with some papa fritas (chips) and a coke and took it back to our room where we could sit around our table and make pigs of ourselves.
At 3 we wandered once again down that bloody hill, and down to the port. Had to pay a $7 peso port tax before we could get on the wharf to our boat, which we have encountered on other cruises and I often wonder why this isn't just done when you buy the ticket…another one of life's little mysteries.
Our boat the "Ushuaia explorer" is perhaps the biggest boat doing the cruises down the channel but because of Shelley's motion sickness, I figured big is better. We initially sat inside but once we got underway we made our way up to the roof where we had a better view. The first sight on our cruise was "Isla de los Lobos" which is nothing
Sleepy seals
more than a large outcrop in the middle of the channel that is covered in sea lions. The boat was able to get right up to the island so we could get a great view of the ugly beasts. From what we could make out there appeared to be a few different species, and although most were a motley brown colour there were a couple jet black ones. Most of them were snoozing peacefully but we did see more than a few arguments, sort of reminded me of the Australian Parliament.
The boat carefully coasted around the western end of the island for about twenty minutes before moving on. It wasn't till we cruised downwind of the island did we appreciate the absolute putrid stench of the sea lions, and it had people running indoors to get away from it.
Next stop was Isla de los Pajaros, where we got a great view of the nesting Cormorants. These birds build large mud nests that cover the top of what is a rather small rock outcrop. Thankfully the birds didn't stink as bad as the Sea lions, so it was a little more pleasant when we moved on to our next
more sleepy seals
stop which was the Eclaireurs Lighthouse. The lighthouse is rather small and really not much of a sight but it is regarded as a symbol of Ushuaia and does make a great postcard shot.
From there we headed down the Beagle Channel for another hour passing the Chilean town of Port Williams, which although not as large as Ushuaia should rightfully hold the honour of being the most southerly town in the world. We had contemplated spending a day here for bragging rights, but it is expensive to get the boat here and we were just happy to see it. At around 6 we reached our final destination which was Isla Martillo Pinguinera….or in tourist speak "the penguin Island".
We slowly made our way around the island to the little penguins came into view and then the boat silently glided in and ran aground right on the beach in front of the penguins. I can't say that this was environmentally sound or that it would be the kind of thing they would allow in Australia, and we kind of felt guilty to be part of it, but that wasn't going to stop us trying to get some good shots. To
give the operators their due, they did come in silently, and they landed away from where some were swimming. They had also advised everyone to remain quiet and surprisingly most people did. The penguins seemed completely unperturbed by this large boat full of people landing on their beach but I guess they get it all the time and have grown to accept it. The boat sat on the beach for a good half an hour which gave everyone ample time to get perhaps once in a lifetime photos of these amazing creatures. Down the beach from the boat a whole group were diving in and out of the water, which kind of looked like "bath time". While we sat there others came swimming in beneath the water and they were moving so swiftly they looked more like a blur till they suddenly leapt from the water and landed on the sand. They would sit there for a brief second and then pop up on their feet and waddle off in such an awkward fashion that you could barely believe they had been that same underwater flash.
Shelley was in seventh heaven and was grinning from ear to ear as she
The Eclaiaireurs Lighthouse
snapped away with her camera. The extent of her happiness is in the proof that today she took 347 photos, but don't panic we won't post them all nor will we be having a slide night on our return. By the time the boat slowly drifted off the beach and we started back, the sun was sinking and being replaced by dark clouds and our hands were frozen stiff. Rather than stand on the roof for our return we took the wise choice of sitting in the warmth of inside the boat. Because Shelley had saved us some money on the ticket we splurged on a great coffee and a slice of lemon meringue pie from the café inside the boat.
We headed straight back to Ushuaia at full speed and only paused once as we cruised past the wreck of a great old ship that had a magnificent old cliper bow. While i was photographing the guide mentioned something in Spanish that said that the ship had sunk here in 1912 but other than that we knew no more. We arrived back at Ushuaia around 9, just as the town was starting to light up for the night. We
Scott in front of that lighthouse
made our way back into town and had dinner once again at Tarte Sara. Like the other night the place was packed and the food sensational, and tonight we both enjoyed a great feed of pasta washed down with locally brewed beer. When planning this trip, I always thought that doing this cruise was going to be a must and was going to be sensational, and thankfully it exceeded all our expectations.
Day 20 – Monday 31st October
We had decided come rain hail or shine today we would finally get up that bloody mountain behind Ushuaia and see the glacier. We got up early and had our usual feed of toast for breakfast. Shelley was a bit disappointed because they didn't have any bananas and had to make do with an apple, but at least she can get tea here.
Before we could head off to the glacier we had some chores to complete, and first was to look into getting a ticket out of town. Only 2 companies run buses out of here and we had already got a quote off one so we checked out the other and found out they don't run buses on Thursday, so
The view looking back to Ushuaia
that sort of narrowed our choices. Even if they had run buses on Thursday they were the same price and left at the same god forsaken time of 5.00am, so there was no avoiding stumbling out of town before day break. We moved onto the Post Office to post a card and discovered a line that stretched out the door, so we resolved to come back maybe at another time….you will get your birthday card eventually Dad.
Final stop was the tourist information bureau where we wanted to get some details on getting to the Glacier. The guy was able to give us a map and advise us that we couldn't walk all the way to the glacier because of heavy snow cover, and also told us that we were best to just get a taxi there and back as it was the same cost of the bus.
We are always apprehensive about getting taxis as they are never quite as cheap as people say they are but to our great surprise this one was even cheaper. The taxi up cost AR$30.50 and the taxi driver was happy with us not only not giving him a tip but only charging
One Penguin
us the AR$30. This was the second time we got a discount off a taxi in Argentina….who said all taxi drivers are mongrels?
We were dropped up in the mountains behind town at the foot of the non-functioning ski lift, and I cursed the operators all the way up for forcing us to walk. The path up was along the dry ski run that was nothing more than a very steep wide gravel road interspersed with large boulders and mud patches. It was hard going but we finally made it to the top of the ski lifts which was at the point where the ground started being covered with snow. A sign warned not to proceed unless properly equipped to deal with icy and slippery paths….who reads signs?
The path was mainly dry gravel but there were heavy patches of snow and lots of muddy bog holes to sink in. We followed a stream further up the mountain till it disappeared beneath the snow cover, and not far past this we hit the sign that said we couldn't walk any further. I was sort of keen to get up on the thick snow and keep going as you could see
2 penguins
the foot prints of others that had done it. The thing that stopped me was the knowledge that somewhere beneath all that snow was a very cold stream of water, and the last thing I wanted was for one of us to end up in it. We spent some time taking in the view and where we were in the world before heading back. We spotted a bridge across the stream that had a path leading up to a landing with seats so we took the detour. On the clear landing was a sign that explained the names of the mountains we were looking at and also showed us that the very small snow drift we saw on the peak of the mountain in front of us wasn't a snow drift but was actually the last remnants of the Martial Glacier. We had been under the assumption that I was just around the bend of the mountain from where we had stopped and that we had missed our chance of seeing our first Andean Glacier, but there it was hanging above us all that time.
We were so glad the walk up was great and the scenery sublime because if
Group of Penguines
all there was to the walk was seeing a "spludge" of snow on the side of a mountain we would have been pretty upset. I wonder if anyone has thought of challenging them in court as to their definition of "Glacier". There may well have been a glacier here but we had missed it by about 10,000 years. In a bid to get a better view down to Ushuaia I took Shelley across soggy marsh land and then up a steep snow bank till she couldn't feel her toes and we turned back.
On the walk back we had in front of us the wide expanse of the Beagle Channel, heading east, and held captive by snow peaked mountains on both sides. We took photos as we constantly do but they never seem to capture the moment. It had been well worth the expense and walk up, it just wasn't what we had expected. Finally got back down to where the taxi had dropped us off and thankfully another was waiting. Got the taxi back down to our hotel for AR$31, so that getting a taxi there and back had only cost us 1 peso more than a bus.
Shelley with friends
rest of the afternoon was taken up by blogging and sorting through the photos to put on our blog page. At around 6 we headed out for dinner and decided to have a couple of beers at an Irish pub before getting a feed. We would generally rather put our head in a lions mouth than turn up at an Irish pub whilst travelling, but Argentina has yet to catch on to the idea of "pubs" so it was a chance to have a quiet beer before eating. Unfortunately it wasn't open when we walked past and when I peered into the darkness through the glass doors I spotted a life size replica of the most Irish of symbols, a R2D2 robot. It made complete sense to me to spot that in an Irish pub in Ushuaia???
We just decided to push onto the restaurant where the bar staff greeted us like locals, which is probably the universal sign we have been in the town too long.

Tell Us: Should Front Desk Staff Be Trained to Deal with Computer Issues?
Last week, I spent a night in a five star hotel in Singapore – one of its top ones, no less. The room was, obviously, beautiful. The pools (plural) were to die for. I arrived late and went straight to sleep. I woke up, swam, had breakfast, and turned on my computer. And found my computer wouldn't connect to the WiFi.
I have a Mac, and this sometimes happens. So I did what normally works – left it a few minutes, restarted it, adjusted the settings. Several times. And it still didn't work.
I knew it wasn't a problem with the WiFi, because my phone was connected. So after a few more restarts and a bit more fiddling, I called the front desk. This has happened about four times in the past, and each time connecting me to the IT dept has solved it by manually assigning the IP address. In fact, the first time this happened – at the Allegro Chicago – the IT guy said that they often have this issue with foreign-'born' Macs. It was not a big deal.
A woman answered and I explained the problem, asking to be connected to someone in IT. "Maybe it's a problem with our WiFi," she said. "I don't think so," I said, "Because my phone is connected. This has happened before, and it was a Mac issue. I just need to assign a manual IP. Is it possible for someone from the IT dept to walk me through this?"
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" she replied.

St. Regis Bora Bora Bringing the WiFi to One and All
Spending time not paying attention to your significant other just got that much better in paradise, as The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort has flipped the switch for complimentary WiFi all across the resort. Of course we're kidding, no one would ever take a Facebook or Instagram break while on their honeymoon; however, if an exception ever arose this hotel has you covered—ha!

Hilton Worldwide Will Free The WiFi for All HHonors Members in August
It's been broughten.
Hilton Worldwide will begin offering ALL members of their HHonors program free WiFi starting in August. Additionally, HHonors Diamond members will receive premium WiFi complimentary starting in the second quarter of this year.
Currently, only gold and diamond members of HHonors can receive free standard WiFi. Average WiFi rates in-room at Hilton are about $12.95 a day while premium WiFi is $16.95 a day.
Hilton finally joins the ranks of Starwood, Marriott, and Hyatt who began freeing the WiFi for their loyalty members late last year. (But if you're keeping score, IHG was the first to do it for real in July 2013.)
You will have to book your room with Hilton to get the free WiFi and obvi, you need to be a member of HHonors but Hilton has also made the WiFi free for members who book through corporate travel partners, an advantage over other hotel brands.
Let the countdown to August begin!

Does the Danieli Have the Strongest WiFi Signal in Venice?
WiFi options from a ferry 10 minutes away from St Mark's Square
Fast, free WiFi is, in our opinion, a basic hotel right. Mobile WiFi? That's an amazing added extra. WiFi that's so strong the signal stretches across the city? Monsieur, now you are really spoiling us.
So hats off to the Danieli in Venice, whose WiFi signal is so astonishingly strong that we were picking it up all over Venice last week.

Which Country Has the World's Best Hotel WiFi?
While we're on the topic of hotel WiFi today....
As we travel and review properties, we're constantly pressing hotels to improve the quality and reduce the price of the WiFi they offer guests. It should be free and fast, and we applaud those who make it an expected and reliable amenity. (Also of note, we applaud the FCC for smacking down hotels attempts' to block WiFi hotspots. Cough, Marriott, cough.)
This week, a company called Hotel WiFi Test used those exact two criteria to create a hotel WiFi "State of the Union," if you will. The company released data that ranks the top cities and countries with both the best and the worst hotel WiFi.
Basically, the company crowd-sourced data from travelers and aggregated it to make a usable study. Overall, it tested 4,000 hotels worldwide, including 241 in Manhattan.
A few takeaways that stand out:

Don't All Freak Out at Once, But the Free WiFi Revolution Has Reached Monaco
Ah, Monaco, a place so ridiculously, frivolously expensive that most of the hotels expect you to pay for WiFi. Pay for WiFi? Well, not if you use their basic service, of course – but if you want something that does more than pull in a single email every hour or so, you usually have to pony up for a faster connection (notable exception: the Fairmont, which gives free WiFi to members of its Presidents Club).
So huge news from Monaco this week with the news that the Columbus has become the first Monegasque hotel to offer free, highspeed WiFi to all its guests and visitors. It's a 50MB connection, with an auto-login – so no annoying passwords to re-enter, and your login lasts a month, so if you only stay a night, you know where to hit up the bar for some work time.
And if you really can't believe that no hotel in an entire country has done this before,
then you haven't been to Monaco this is what they say:

How Refreshing to Hear That 'WiFi is a Right' at Virgin Hotels
Nearly a week later, we ares still fondly remembering our time with the Virgin Hotel Chicago, the first-ever Virgin Hotel to open.
While wining and dining the Virgin was great, as was experimenting with new
positions chambers, there was something that Doug Carillo, vice president of sales and marketing for Virgin Hotels, told us that has really stuck with us this past week. And that's Virgin Hotels commitment to free WiFi.
For us, it's always been that we feel WiFi is a right, and we need it to live. If we don't have it and its not working fast enough, then we are failing the guests.
Wow. It's only taken more than a decade but someone finally understands this.
Indeed, getting on the WiFi network at Virgin--whether a hotel guest or a visitor elsewhere on property--is effortless. Just find the Virgin Hotels network and hop on. It's that easy.
Because WiFi networks can be expensive to build and maintain, or rather, because hotels often use this as their excuse for charging for WiFi, we asked Carillo if maybe Virgin was bumping up the room rate to make up for the cost of offering unlimited free bandwidth to guests and pretty much anyone just passing through. Nope. Here's what he said:

Cheers! Marriott Won't Be Blocking Your Personal Hotspot After All (And The WiFi is Free)
It's the first WiFi victory of 2015! Marriott International has abandoned its quest to block your personal WiFi hotspot at their hotels.
The hotel giant told Inc. (in an article which we also quoted in) that guests at Marriott-managed hotels will be able to use their personal WiFi devices, citing customer response. However, Marriott said they would "continue to look to the FCC to clarify appropriate security measures network operators can take to protect customer data."
That sounds a bit ominous but whatevs, your personal WiFi hotspot is safe.
Meanwhile, TODAY IS THE DAY that Marriott begins to free their WiFI for all guests. So long as you made your reservation through Marriott.com (or the mobile app or the reservation hotline) and you are a member of Marriott Rewards. Got those two things? Then WiFi is free. Whee!
Staying at a Marriott and reading this story using free WiFi? Let us know how it's going!

Provenance Hotels Have Also Freed the WiFi for Their Guests
The Sentinel Hotel in Portland
We saw a bunch of hotels give up their WiFi charges towards the end of last year but there's one more hotel group that is now offering WiFi free and easy in 2015--Provenance Hotels.
The Portland, Ore.-based hotel collection has eliminated Wi-Fi fees for overnight guests at Hotel Max in Seattle, Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Portland's Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe and Sentinel, and Hotel Preston in Nashville. (Hotel 1000 in Seattle, which joined Provenance in July, already had free WiFi.) Even better, the company has spent the past year "upgrading the Wi-Fi experience at the company's hotels with fiber optic internet to increase bandwidth, speed and capacity."
And when the group opens the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in New Orleans later this spring, the WiFi will be free there as well. Really, there's nothing more to say except, "This is so awesome. Now, who's next?"

Everyone Chime in Now: Should Hotels Block Your Personal Hotspot?
Before the holidays, we explained that as hotels begin to make Wifi more available and, most importantly, free, they are simultaneously policing the use of personal hotspots on their properties.
Marriott is leading the charge in the crack down. When it filed a petition with the FCC to make its policy legal, a debate erupted. The two sides of the argument are pretty straightforward:
Team Hotspot Blockers as represented by Marriott: Cybersecurity. They're concerned that unauthorized access points will make it easy to hack into a hotel operator's network and threaten guest privacy. In addition, too many hotspots could clog up the network, reducing both personal and hotel Wifi performance and speed. And the resulting bad WiFi service could translate into bad reviews.

Your Kind Spanish Room Mates Will Hook You Up with Free WiFi Around Town
Free inroom WiFi is, of course, essential (we think) for a hotel stay. But free mobile WiFi to take around town? Now there's something exceptional. But then, we always did think Room Mate Hotels were exceptional.
Travel journo and HC Twitter chum David Whitley checked into Room Mate Oscar in Madrid this week and found that it gives guests a free mobile WiFi router to take around town with them. Turns out that's not just an Oscar thing – Room Mate has offered this service in all its Spanish hotels since July.

2014 Must-Have Hotel Amenity: Free WiFi
It's that time of year again: the 2014 HotelChatter Awards! Today and tomorrow, we'll be showcasing the best (and worst) of hotels over the past year. But we couldn't do it without you! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or shoot us an email. And the Award goes to...
It's almost as if they knew. We (and you) have long been advocates of free WiFi being essential to hotel stays; but many of the big chains didn't want to know.
But the tide is turning, and 2014 will go down as the year the WiFi revolution really came to pass. In the last two months alone we've seen Marriott, Starwood, Hyatt, Sandals and Taj all announce they're freeing the WiFi (with a couple of easily taken care of caveats from Marriott and Starwood). And free WiFi is the most important factor in choosing a hotel for British guests, according to a slightly-biased-but-we'll-take-it-anyway survey for Amba Hotels, which is promising the fastest connection speed in the world.

How Transformative Was 1968?
By Susan Lewis
The musical Hair opened on Broadway, and 2001: A Space Odyssey was at the movies. It was also in 1968 that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, and 14,000 American military personnel died in Vietnam.
A transformative year across American culture, 1968 is explored in a new exhibition that's now on view at the National Constitution Center. The 1968 Exhibit runs through September 2nd, 2013.

Final Report on Recommened Optimal Response System Available
Following receipt of public comments and input from the Technical Peer Review Panel, the Summary Report describing a recommended response system for the Aleutian Islands areas is final and available in both LOW RESOLUTION and HIGH RESOLUTION versions. This report is based on other project reports from both Phase A and Phase B of the AIRA which are available on the Documents page.
AIRA Final Summary Report - high resolution (20.5MB)
AIRA Final Summary Report - low resolution (5MB)
Aleutian Islands Subarea Plan and Committee Meeting
The Aleutian Islands Subarea Committee will be meeting on March 20th in Anchorage, AK a the Dimond Center Hotel, Chesloknu Conference Room from 1:00PM to 4:30PM. The purpose of this meeting is to review the status of the plan update in preparation for the public review. Representatives from regional local governments, state and federal agencies, and industry are welcome to attend.
Proposed Routing Measures for the Aleutian Islands
UPDATE: On March 13, 2015, the Navigation Communication Search and Rescue Subcommittee of the IMO approved the proposed routing measures and areas to be avoided that were developed as part of the AIRA. The proposal will move forward to the Marine Safety Committee (MSC) for consideration in June 2015.
In December, the U.S. Coast Guard submitted a paper to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the upcoming session of the Subcomittee on Navigation, Communication, and Search & Rescue (NCSR) titled, Establishment of Five Areas to be Avoided in the Region of the Aleutian Islands.
The proposal aims to establish five recommendatory areas to be avoided (ATBAs) in the region of the Alaska Aleutian Islands for vessels making transoceanic voyages through the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean adjacent to the islands. In most areas, the proposed ATBAs extend no further than 50 nautical miles from the shoreline of the islands, with a few areas of greater distance. The 50 nautical mile buffer allows for repair or time to launch an emergency response effort to a foundering vessel before it runs aground and damages sensitive resources. It will also reduce the possibility of ships grounding on the shoreline due to negligent navigation.
The identification and establishment of routing measures such as areas to be avoided in the Aleutian Island region has been a recommended risk reduction option of the Aleutian Island Risk Assessment project. The proposed routing measure will be discussed at the IMO NCSR Subcommittee meeting scheduled the week of March 9-13, 2015 in London, England.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY , Ga. -- Newly installed National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Albany-Dougherty Branch President Marvin Jones says his immediate goal is simple -- get the local chapter on the same page with state and national leadership.
The Albany-Dougherty branch has a tumultuous past year, looking horns with the state NAACP over fees, which eventually resulted in the ouster of the entire local leadership last month.
Now with new executive officers in place and a new office at 136 N. Magnolia St., Jones said last week that the local branch has reopened its doors and is looking toward a brighter future.
"I'm not going to accuse anyone of anything, but our first priority will be to follow the NAACP constitution and all its by-laws to the letter," Jones said. "When we venture out on our own and start working on our own ideas is when we get into trouble."
Jones, 70, is a graduate of Monroe High School and worked for 31 years at Merck, much of that time spent as a master negotiator as president of the International Chemical Workers Union
In addition to Jones, new officers are David Williams, first vice president; the Rev. Rogers L. Chatmon, second vice president; Princella Stegall, treasurer; Mary James-Ingram, assistant treasurer; Tammy Green, secretary; Geraldine Hudley, assistant secretary, and Eunice Bankston, youth adviser.
"We want to make sure that we as a group maintain continuity with the state and national offices," Jones said." We want to work to grow our branch membership and make ourselves attractive to others so people will want to be a part of our unit.
"We also want to work closely with local businesses to create a good hiring and working environment for all of our citizens."
And how does he view the current state of relations in Albany and Dougherty County?
"As a young child I remember my mother telling me I couldn't drink from certain water fountains, and that stuck with me. I couldn't figure out why. After all, it was just water," Jones answered. "We've made a lot of progress since those days. We don't have to go to the back of the bus anymore, but we still have a lot of work to do."

This is a mashup between Juan Maclean vocalist Nancy Whang and Gavin Russom (who appears to have deaded his Black Meteoric Star moniker). It's called a remix—understandably, that's a way cooler denotation than mashup—but basically grabs Whang's vocal, echoes it out and sits it atop Russom's flirty spiral synths of his own creation, weighted by drum machine karate chops. It really highlights Whang's versatile strength, the flexibleness of her voice, as she sounds just as at home over the silk of the original and the hard chop of Russom's remix.

An artist's impression of the winning development, Esque Mosman by Helm.
A boutique residential development of just 29 apartments slew its giant opponents in Thursday's Urban Development Institute of Australia awards.
Helm's Mosman project, Esque won the President's Award over 14 other finalists, including the mighty One Central Park at Chippendale.
General manager of Helm Mark Monk accepted the award from Pierre Abrahamse, the national development director of last year's winner, Crown Group, only after being prodded by his tablemates.
Fraser Property Group and Sekisui House's One Central Park viewed from Chippendale Green, photo by Simon Wood.
"I wasn't really listening," a shocked Mr Monk said. "We were up against some pretty big projects. I just didn't expect we'd win."
Other finalists included the futuristic Crown Green Square by Crown Group, Stage One of Woolooware Bay, Bluestone's mixed-use development owned by Cronulla Sharks, Spring Cove at Manly developed by Oakstand and Denwol, and the Defence Housing Australia's Crimson Hill project in Lindfield.
Esque's popularity in the market was confirmed when a large majority of the apartments sold within two weeks of release in the tougher market of 2011.

Going against local agents' advice to build small one- and two-bedroom units, Helm engaged PCA Architects and built half the development as large three-bedroom apartments.
Twelve of the 14 three-bedders sold on the first day of release.
Helm has just sold out another boutique development, Laurier Cremorne, well ahead of schedule. It will launch its next project in Neutral Bay later this year.

"It's lovely that Esque has been recognised, especially for our team, who work enormously hard," Mr Monk said. "It takes a hell of an effort to produce a product of that quality."

"I think I broke my foot," said Balsley, who continued his duties.
The Padres are already without bullpen coach Darrel Akerfelds, who has been away from the team for two weeks while undergoing treatments in his 16-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Yonder Alonso says he felt the sting of his new home for the first time Wednesday afternoon.
Alonso hit two doubles to the fence in right center. Alonso thought the second one was out.
"I have hit some solid, but that was the first time I really thought it was out and it wasn't. But that's just the way it is."
Maybe not beyond 2012.

Rising star Molly Ranson gets bloody in 'Carrie'
NEW YORK This much is clear as Molly Ranson prepares for her latest role: There will be blood.
Not a lot, perhaps. Not buckets. But just enough. After all, there has to be some of the red stuff if you're playing the title role in a re-imagined musical based on Stephen King's novel "Carrie."
"It'll look good. It'll look real," says Ranson, the 22-year-old actress who is playing the bullied teen with telekinetic powers in the off-Broadway remake at MCC Theater. "It's going to be done really beautifully and subtly - artistically, kind of abstract."
The scent of blood will certainly be in the air, no matter how it's handled onstage. The original musical "Carrie" was actually booed by some in the audience when it appeared on Broadway in 1988 and lasted only five performances after opening night, losing $8 million and becoming the most expensive flop in Broadway history at the time.
But Ranson, sipping lemon-ginger tea at a downtown cafe on a recent morning before heading into the nearby Lucille Lortel Theatre for rehearsals, seems completely unworried about the musical's horror-story history.
"People should come to it with new eyes and ears and be open to a completely new experience," she says. "If they loved the original, I think they'll love this, but they should know it's not the original."
The re-imagined "Carrie" has a bit of old and new. The original creative team - Lawrence D. Cohen, Michael Gore and Dean Pitchford, who were responsible for the book, music and lyrics - have reunited under the baton of a newcomer: director Stafford Arima, who also helmed "Altar Boyz."
More than half the songs are new, the structure has been changed and the story is told from a different point of view. The cast is also new, of course, with Tony Award nominee Marin Mazzie playing Carrie's religiously fanatical mother, the part played by Betty Buckley onstage.
And yet so much rests on the slender shoulders of Ranson, a petite, polite New Yorker with a disarming smile who is making her professional debut in a musical. One thing in her favor is something she shares with Carrie: Underestimate her at your peril.
Ranson already has two big Broadway credits to her name - "Jerusalem" opposite Mark Rylance and "August: Osage County" - and two high-profile turns off-Broadway in "The Burnt Part Boys" at Playwrights Horizons and the musical "Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice" in Rochester, N.Y. She also is road-tested, having performed "August" in London and Sydney.
She can do it all - comedy, drama, singing, dancing, stage and film. She found herself in such demand that she lasted only a few months at New York University during her freshman year before taking a leave of absence to be on Broadway. Oh, and she also just shot her first film, the indie "Franny," playing a promiscuous teen who is murdered and stuffed in the back of a car.
Ranson is pinching herself, but very quietly. "I guess I didn't really think about it that much," she says. "If you think about it, you'll weird yourself out. I'm just kind of going with the flow and enjoying every moment."

I Corinthians 15:57-58 (AMP)
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].
Crawling into the gym pressing my physical being with inner determination rather than natural strength, I was tired. Exhausted. Worn out. For more than two months, my spiritual, emotional and physical being has been pressing hard against the "mountain" before me. It has not moved a bit. As though standing at the base with my hands on my hips and surveying the height and sheer mass of such an obstacle – I am perplexed. Not to mention now I was "sick" and tired with a true ailment requiring medical intervention. As I climbed aboard the elliptical just hoping to make it to the end and shake the clouds from my head, my body screamed "why"! I had to stop and ask myself the same thing. Why didn't I stay home and just rest? Which led me to wonder if stubbornness is my strength or downfall? I refuse to let go or give up. My competitive nature drives me. With each turn of the wheel as my feet began to "walk" the course of my workout I became lost in my thoughts as I do most nights. This time I was looking at the mountain of obstacles before me and wondering why I cannot seem to get over them. I began to remind myself of all the promises that the Lord has whispered to my heart daring me to put my faith and trust in Him as He is my only hope. So why the struggle Lord? How much more pain? Will I make it through the frustration to see your Glory on the earth? I thought we would be victorious but I feel the sting of rejection and see no way to win. Throughout the contradiction in my heart and mind, my eyes are fixed on the pedals beneath me mesmerized as my feet instinctually keep moving even when my human nature is to stop. The big wheel keeps turning and even though my body screams to stop – my feet just keep going. Lord, you promised us victory. You have called us more than conquerors. Why all this? If we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and word of our testimony, why should be wining? What am I doing wrong?
Endurance is not about all the times you try and fail – it is the one time that you refuse to give up. It is not based on who comes in first but is reserved for the one who is determined to finish the race despite great adversity or overcoming all obstacles along the way. Sprinters don't need endurance but those who run a marathon do. It is the longest mile that demands less of our flesh and all of the Spirit to get over. God has given us the victory. We are more than conquerors. But in order to claim our reward and experience all that God has prepared for us requires making it to the end with our faith intact. We must learn to be firm, steadfast, immovable always abounding in the Work of the Lord. We must be constantly aware that everything that we do with the Lord in the forefront of our mind will never be futile or considered a wasted moment. Such a revelation will always require being emptied of self to receive more of His Spirit.
Psalm 73:25-26 (AMP)
Whom have I in heaven but You? And I have no delight or desire on earth besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my heart and my Portion forever.
My daughters and I live on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Not exactly what I would consider, the sustenance of champions but it works for us. I have found that using squeeze bottles of jelly cuts down the time it takes to make all of our lunches. However, to get the jelly that is on the bottom of the bottle to come to the top and squeeze out is a violent process. I must shake it hard upside down until it oozes down to the opening. Sometimes I must beat the bottle to loosen the contents so it will unceremoniously fall to the bottom and be released. Welcome to the world of conquerors and overcomers in Jesus Christ. You are going to be shaken, pressed, pushed, and almost crushed until you are empty. Who wants all that? Those who desire the Lord require such violence to remove all those things that have taken the place of the Lord within us. The point of such occasions is so that we delight and desire the Lord more than anything else. Our flesh must fail and heart give out in order to firmly grasp God and cling to Jesus Christ our Rock, Strength and Portion forever.
Colossians 2:6-7 (AMP)
As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.
Deep roots require breaking through hard soil making it soften to receive the seeds that will grow into the massive potential of its Creator. Seeds do not look like much when they fall out of the packet. In fact, they must be buried in the soil to die to return to life. We are created the same way. Unless we allow our physical man to die to self which means traveling to the end of human strength to experience the supernatural power of a Living God, we will never experience the life of overcoming conquerors in Jesus Christ. We must be united with Christ which means conforming our ways to His Way. You will never have strong roots that hold you firmly in place during every storm with a superficial relationship with the Lord. The roots of our being must be firmly planted deep as we become fixed and founded by faith in Jesus Christ. This allows us to mature spiritually which is what prosperity really is. Prosperity means to come to maturity. The more our faith is confirmed and established by faith, God's Goodness gives us more reasons to abound and overflow in thanksgiving and praise. Those who dig into the Presence of God by faith and refuse to move will be sorely tested. The enemy is seeking who he can steal from, kill and destroy. You are the prime target because of your close proximity to Jesus Christ. You have the power to overcome. You are made to be more than a conqueror. Do you have the strength of strong roots to stay strong, come to full maturity and bring forth fruit in season and out of season as you trust and rely fully on the Lord? "And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]. (Psalm 1:3)
Ephesians 6:12-15 (AMP)
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God, and having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.
Spiritual warfare cannot be won without spiritual armor. I battle my body in the gym to prove to it who is in charge. Maybe you are thinking – that's ridiculous and shallow. When was the last time you battled your flesh to do the right thing rather than what you really wanted to do? This is no joke. That's why people have trouble with prayer and fasting. They do not want to commit the time to prayer or resist the flesh to fast. It makes me laugh when during a fast someone will say that the Lord called me to fast everything except coffee or caffeine. What I have found to be true is that the one thing you are most desperate to hold on is that which the Lord requires. We must pay close attention to our spirit man in every situation and be sure that we are constantly preparing for confrontation with the enemy. We are not wrestling true flesh and blood but our human nature to rebel against God's Way. We are fighting the lie of the enemy which always requires the Truth of God's Word. We must strive to remain righteous taking full advantage of God's Protection and Strength. I must be confident in the Strong Power and Constant Presence of God in my life even in the midst of loneliness and isolation knowing that He will never fail or forsake me. (Deuteronomy 31:6) He has given me a firm foundation of faith in His Word. It is up to me to make it my testimony. (Psalm 118:88-90) It tells me of God's Love that is faithful forever. It established the earth and is all part of His Plan. This allows to walk and not fall – run and not stumble because I can hold on His Instruction. (Proverbs 4:12-13) This is the premise of my life and reason for my existence to pursue the Lord, find Him and hold on to Him both now and forevermore. God's Love is the inspiration for my life if I put my faith in it and believe that it is real. "Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength! Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God's love for us)." (I Corinthians 16:13-14) When I learn to live wrapped up in God's Love, I will not get caught up in this world.
Matthew 21:21-22 (AMP)
And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive.
The facts of life do not change the providence of God's Purpose and Plan for my life because it is all inclusive. Not a detail was left out for my good, so no time is wasted when committed to the Lord even my past. When I give my past, present and future to God firmly relying and trusting Him without doubt, I will have the kind of faith that makes miracles a reality. Not because of anything I do, but because I have allowed Jesus Christ in me to take over. It is in such a surrender and commitment to the Lord that He trains me for battle and to win every war. (Psalm 18:32-36) The Lord gives me the strength to walk His Way which is so much higher than my own. He enables me to stand firmly and make progress at dangerous levels of faithful obedience in places I never thought I could go. He teaches me how to fight and win the good fight of faith. Salvation is my shield of protection also labeled by faith and belief that produces confident hope in a very present God! His Grace allows room for any missteps or mishaps along the way. I have nothing to fear anymore. (Psalm 112:7-8) My heart is firmly fixed. I am trusting and believing in the Lord with a steady and established heart that allows my mind to be at peace with my circumstances and situations knowing that NOTHING is impossible by faith. (Matthew 17:20) No longer do I fear sudden terror or panic labeled chaos. I do not fear the storm but embrace the change that is coming. The Lord is my confidence. He is firm and strong. He will keep my feet from getting caught in the enemy's trap or fall to his lie. (Proverbs 3:25-26) I must only choose to pursue one thing – to remain in His Presence all the days of my life utilizing the Gift of Righteousness that is His Gift to me.
Proverbs 31:17-18 (AMP)
She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm. She tastes and sees that her gain from work [with and for God] is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night [of trouble, privation, or sorrow, warning away fear, doubt, and distrust].
God created me with purpose. He has given me all the provision of His Kingdom to utilize on this earth. I step into His Presence through grace using the righteousness He has given me. I allow my heart to be broken so He can fill me up. I endure the pressure and stress of this life as He molds me and makes me into a useful vessel. I am not afraid because I trust the Lord. He has planted my faith and it is growing into confident hope. I choose to prosper and be brought to maturity in Christ by accepting the good times and the bad as all part of His Plan for my own good. He is my only hope. So in the meantime, I will gird myself with His Strength spiritually, mentally and yes, even physically. I will be strong and firm because He made me that way. I will taste and see that the Lord is good because I have chosen to walk in His Way and do His Will focusing all my effort in becoming a light to this world. Even in the darkest night, the Light of His Love will not go out but shine through the cracks of this broken vessel. I will not give up although every part of my mind, soul and body cries out for relief. Why? I am more than a conqueror so I will have the victory. (Romans 8:37-39) I accomplish this only one way! I must fully rely and depend on the Love of God to prosper my life in every situation. Jesus conquered the world for me so who better to trust? (John 16:33) Conquerors are subject to human weakness. We get tired. We are stressed. We get sick and tired sometimes. The only difference between overcomers is under achievers is that overcomers never give up. It is not in their nature because they are filled with Christ! "Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. "(I John 4:4) With live in this world but since we are not of it, we have a definite advantage. We must not be afraid to use it.
I Peter 5:8-10 (AMP)
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [[a]in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.
I have come to realize over the last few years that if I can overcome my flesh and allow Jesus Christ to reign in my life – all I do is win. When my strength is failing and heart on the verge of breaking, if I will just press on and make it through that moment – I win, I overcome and I am more than a conqueror. "Brethren, for this reason, in [spite of all] our stress and crushing difficulties we have been filled with comfort and cheer about you [because of] your faith (the leaning of your whole personality on God in complete trust and confidence). Because now we [really] live, if you stand [firm] in the Lord." (I Thessalonians 3:7-8)
Hebrews 12:12-13 (AMP)
So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, and cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured.

Perry Watch: Reliant manager brushes aside criticism of prayer event sponsor but says stadium 'wouldn't want to rent to al-Qaeda'
Rick Perry's Day of Prayer at Houston's Reliant Stadium has drawn sharp criticism from supporters of the separation of church and state. But the stadium's manager strongly defends his decision to allow the meeting organized by a group that has been denounced as a "hate group" by some liberals.
"If any group came by that was presenting a program that we didn't feel was in the best interest of the community, I think it would be doubtful the building would be rented to them," says Mark Miller, whose company contracts with Harris County to operate the Reliant complex.[Read More]

K. Keerthivasan
PATNA: She moves with measured strides. She hits the shuttle flat with power and panache, straining every sinew. There aren't many players who can play quite like Saina Nehwal in India. In the domestic circuit, women are not used to her pace and style of play. Junior National champion Aditi Mutatkar (PSPB) found the speed at which Saina (PSPB) played quite unnerving in the women's final of the BSNL senior National badminton championship at the Secretariat Sports Club here on Sunday. Her best was not enough as Saina, the top seed, raced to a 21-19, 21-16 to clinch her maiden women's singles title from three successive finals.
A deceptive player, Aditi fought back from being down 1-7 in the first game to take the lead 13-12 when Saina netted a return. Aditi matched Saina at the net and from the baseline with some delicate drops.
Initially, she created problems and was dominating the rallies. But once Saina started to get her drops and overhead smashes going, Aditi had no choice but to relent. When Saina is set, it's next to impossible to even contemplate defeating her. That's exactly what happened in the second game.
Keeping cool
"This time I was playing under pressure. In the rush to win, I committed a lot of mistakes. Later I told myself to keep my cool and it worked," said the 17-year-old. Chetan Anand (PSPB) has been consistent right through the Open Nationals. Barring the loss of one game to Ajay Jayaram, he has been literally dictating terms.
His choice of shots and his overall fitness have been of relatively high standard. Against Anand Pawar (Air India) in the men's final, Chetan proved to be the better player at the net and from the backcourt to emerge a deserving 21-18, 21-17 winner.
"I prepared for the Nationals a good one-and-a-half months in advance. I didn't play tournaments during the tournament. I am happy with the way I played throughout. I trained hard with SM Arif Sir and Govardhan Reddy and it paid off," said Chetan, who last won the title in Hyderabad in 2004.
It was not that Anand Pawar failed to rise to the occasion. It was just that Chetan hardly allowed Anand any leeway. Anything remotely short, Chetan was doubly quick to rush to the net and finish the point.
In the second game, once Anand changed racquet when trailing 8-5, he simply wilted.
The women's pair of Jwala Gutta and Shruti Kurien (PSPB) has ruled the double scene for the last six years. With the exception of the 2002 Lucknow Nationals, the duo has been winning regularly, a run that started in the 2001 Jaipur Nationals.
It was a hat-trick of National titles for the men's doubles combination of Rupesh Kumar and Sanave Thomas (PSPB).
The men's singles champion received Rs. 27,600 while the women's winner got Rs. 23,800.
Lalu Prasad, Union Minister for Railways, gave away the prizes.
The results (finals):
Women: singles: Saina Nehwal (PSPB) bt Aditi Mutatkar (PSPB) 21-19, 21-16.; doubles: Jwala Gutta/Shruti Kurien (PSPB) bt B.R. Meenakshi (PSPB)/Aparna Balan (Ker) 21-17, 21-11.
Men: singles: Chetan Anand (PSPB) bt Anand Pawar (AI) 21-18, 21-17; doubles: Rupesh Kumar/Sanave Thomas (PSPB) bt V. Diju (PSPB)/JBS Vidyadhar (AP) 21-9, 21-19.

Earlier this month when Netgear announced new ReadyNAS products ($900 – $1350) that incorporate TiVo functionality, I reached out to the companies for more info. And, without having seen the feature in action, it sounds pretty much like what we'd expect… Sort of a TiVo Desktop port allowing you to offload shows to the NAS for storage and to later retrieve them from a network folder found within the TiVo UI.
Netgear also informed me they're the first TiVo-compatible DVR network storage solution to alleviate local capacity concerns, so I asked TiVo about HP's earlier TiVo MediaSmart implementation (recently updated, thanks Alex). Apparently, HP's solution ($550 – $700) is also legit but the company didn't go through the evaluation process that would allow them to be labeled "TiVo Compatible." Whatev?
Both Netgear and HP solutions are nice additions if you happen to be in the market for a NAS, but I'm not sure TiVo integration is compelling enough to sell the device on its own. Then again, as a digital cable subscriber treated like a content thief by Cox Communications, I can't offload anything but recordings of local network programming (and one premium they missed). Making me a less than ideal candidate.


text: It's prom season once again for a Texas high school and while on their way to the big dance, Jenny (Renée Zellweger) and her friends decide to take a detour through the woods. The night takes an unexpected turn after they accidentally crash their car and find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere. With few options, they decide to seek help in Darla, a seemingly innocent insurance agent whose office is located not too far away. After Darla calls for help, they set out back to the scene of the crash believing they'll soon be rescued. But their return is met with terror as they run into Leatherface and his insane brother Vilmer (Matthew McConaughey). Taken to an old farmhouse, they're greeted by the rest of the crazy, cannibalistic clan and it looks as if this is their last stop.

PH booters' SEAG stint looks dim
THERE won't be a football team to the Myanmar Southeast Asian Games this December if the country's SEAG task force strictly follows its criteria of choosing only sure winners and potential gold medalists for the national delegation.
"Inclusion to the delegation will be based on the criteria. The team has to pass the scrutiny of the task force,'' said Philippine chef de mission Jeff Tamayo, who heads the task force along with Philippine Olympic Committee chair Tom Carrasco, sports commissioner Iggy Clavecilla and Romy Magat of tennis.
Composed of under-23 players, the men's team didn't make it past the group stage during the 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia after losing four of its five elimination-round games.
The Philippine Football Federation also wants to send the women's team known as the Malditas and added it is ready to fund both squads with help from sponsors.
Tamayo said he would like to see the Malditas compete in the 11-nation meet but the women's team has no track record to speak of in the games.
Aside from football, futsal is also uncertain of playing in the SEAG.

Papyrus holds a paper-dress runway show
Fri Sep 16 2011

Last night, we popped over to paper-goods purveyor Papyrus, where a fashion show inspired by greeting cards took over the Soho store. Invitees schmoozed and sipped champagne while perusing the new line of handmade 3-D cards ($28) created by Project Runway alum Rami Kashou. To help celebrate the stationery collection's launch (and close out Fashion Week), Papyrus invited students from the Pratt Institute School of Art & Design to submit sketches of wearable dresses made entirely from the store's wares. Six winning designs were chosen to be produced and walk the runway; among them was an Alice-in-Wonderland dress featuring a card-and-box--constructed flared skirt, a mermaid dress designed to look like scales and leftover fishing net using various types of wrapping paper and Organdy ribbon, and a royal-blue evening gown constructed from periwinkle wrapping paper and various gift cards that was presented as the grand finale. But our favorite of the bunch was 19-year-old Semaj Bryant's gothic ensemble constructed of motorcycle cards, ribbon, tissue and a lightweight cotton fabric.
