Angry Seal apologizes for Twitter 'rant'
SYDNEY—British singer Seal apologized Wednesday for a series of stinging tweets in which he said he "can't wait to go home", switching instead to profess his love for Australia.
Seal launched an attack on what he called Australia's "trash media" after his fellow judge on talent contest "The Voice Australia" Joel Madden was kicked out of his Sydney hotel over drugs.
The Daily Telegraph tabloid Wednesday ran a front-page story on Good Charlotte singer Madden, saying a small amount of cannabis had been found in his penthouse room and he had been asked to leave the apartment.
No charges have been laid against the American, who issued a statement saying he hoped the incident had not caused "too much drama".
But Grammy Award-winning Seal weighed in on his side.
"Way to respect a guest in your country trash media, way to make us feel welcome," he tweeted early Wednesday.
"Keep it up … sure we'll be back next year. And yes, I say we, because it's just a matter of time before you gun us all down.
"I for one will not stand by and watch you attempt to destroy my Brother, you gun one you gun us all!"
He also rounded on The Star casino complex in which Madden's hotel was located, saying "Shame on the Star…you ask him to meet n greet a cancer victim in your hotel then send police to his room?? Nice… very classy… keep it up Judas. I'm done here."
Seal, known for his hits "Crazy" and "Kiss From a Rose", later blamed being away from his children for 11 weeks for the outburst which ended with him saying: "Can't wait to go home".
"I want to apologize for my rant earlier. Joel is one of my best friends and I was really hurting for him," the backtracking star, formerly married to supermodel Heidi Klum, said on Twitter.
"I want to say I have loved being in Australia, I've loved working on The Voice and with an incredibly talented group of Australian artists."
As well as Seal and Madden, Australian singer Delta Goodrem and Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin are on the television show's judging panel.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is currently going through a some troubles at the courthouse. After not showing up for court recently, the actress is now forced to wear a SCRAM bracelet to monitor her alcohol consumption. She's no stranger to the monitoring bracelets, she had to wear one back in 2007.
She's been a busy girl as of late, and Lindsay Lohan paid a visit to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in New York City on Thursday night (March 6).
The "Mean Girls" actress, who posed for pictures with her fans on her way to the studio, was in great spirits as she recounted to Jimmy her experience just a few weeks ago during the inaugural episode with him as host.
Ready for a return to the spotlight, Lindsay Lohan taped for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Thursday (March 6).
The "Mean Girls" star stopped to pose for pictures with fans as she exited an office building in a black coat, white skinnies, and black heels.
In the wave of the controversy enveloping her life, Lindsay Lohan is making her way back, set to appear as a guest star in an upcoming episode of "2 Broke Girls."
TVLine reported that the 27-year-old actress will play a girl named Claire Guinness, a bride-to-be who asks Caroline (Beth Behrs) and Max (Kat Dennings) to design her wedding cake.
She has been a target of tabloid headlines for years, and now fans and viewers alike will finally get the chance to learn (a small part) about the real Lindsay Lohan.
The 27-year-old actress will be taking part in an eight-episode reality show on Oprah's OWN network, and on Tuesday (March 4), the first trailer was released.
Tying up some more loose ends from her past, Lindsay Lohan just got rid of a personal injury case against her.
According to TMZ, Nubia Del Carmen Preza filed a lawsuit in 2012 claiming the "Mean Girls" star struck her with her Maserati as she was pushing a baby stroller in West Hollywood.
It's been a long wait, but Lindsay Lohan's documentary series debut is finally just a few weeks away.
Preparing for the launch, OWN released a sneak peek picture of the eight-part series, featuring the "Mean Girls" star.
She made her smash film "Mean Girls" 10 years ago and Lindsay Lohan is determined to keep in touch with her former cast mates.
On Thursday (February 13), the "Georgia Rule" babe took to her Instagram account with the snapshot with Daniel Franzese with Rajiv Surendra, who played Kevin G in the hilarious 2004 comedy.
She's come a long way since her days on the "Mean Girls" set back in 2004, but Lindsay Lohan hasn't forgotten where she came from.
The "Georgia Rule" babe posted a photo with her former costar Daniel Franzese via Instagram last night, and it looks like they're still close.
She was pretty cranky about losing one half of her $75,000 fur coat while clubbing last week, and now it turns out Lindsay Lohan's pricey pelt has been returned.
According to TMZ, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice just happened to be at LiLo's table at 1Oak on Thursday night (January 30) and when she left he noticed the fur coat and took it home.
Having a little fun with her mobile phone, Lindsay Lohan snapped a sexy selfie while hanging out solo on Thursday evening (January 30).
The "Mean Girls" actress put on a 'cat ears' headband and wrote I (Heart) U on the mirror as she posed for the photo.

LIMA Ś The smiles were unbeatable.
A ball presented by the Allen County Minority Caucus of the Democratic Party in honor of President ObamaÆs second term in office was held Monday night at UNOH Event Center. The event included dinner, a band and dancing.
ōTo me, itÆs a history thing. Everybody couldnÆt go to Washington. Give them something to enjoy,ö said Charles Thomas, the event chairman.
Thomas has been to Washington, D.C., for inaugurations in the past and knows first-hand that standing in the cold for hours and not being able to see much isnÆt too much fun.
ōThis way, weÆre right here enjoying it in the warm building and everything,ö he said.
Proceeds from the $40 tickets benefit the caucus and will be used to support the party, Thomas said.
Did he believe everyone at the event was a tried-and-true Democrat?
ōThere might be somebody between the sheets,ö he said, laughing.
Sheila Frueh, of Lima, attended with her husband, Gary, and other friends and family members. They enjoyed the opportunity to be out and celebrate the big occasion in a formal way.
ōYou donÆt get to dress up very often,ö Frueh said.
College student Morgan Johnson, of Lima, was glad to attend with her friends.
ōI just think this is really, really important that IÆm able to be here with my friends on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day,ö Johnson said.
If not for King, ōObama wouldnÆt be in office,ö Johnson said.

Dolphins Name Each Other With Signature Whistles
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Dolphins have previously shown the ability to perform simple math, rescue people and even spot mines for the military. A new study from British researchers shows that the marine mammals are capable of doing something else once thought to be unique to humans – call each other by name.
According to the new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, individual dolphins have a signature whistle that they use to identify themselves and each other.
Marine biologists had previously suspected that individual dolphins have a unique name, but the new study from scientists at the University of St. Andrew found that dolphins respond to hearing their identifier by repeating it back, as if to say, "I'm here!"
"If we look at complex ability in communication in human language, one of the key features that is important to us is that we can copy sounds, we can invent new sounds," study co-author Vincent Janik, a biologist at St Andrews University, told The Guardian. "We can then use those sounds and attach some kind of meaning to them and use them to refer to objects and to refer to external things in the world."
Dolphins make a wide range of noises for a multitude of purposes – including for mating or echolocation. However, Janik said the signature whistles are most often used when large groups of dolphins meet out in the open waters.
"Other contexts are particularly when groups meet at sea, they exchange information about who is present before the groups join, almost like a greeting," said Janik. "You also often find them between mums and calves if they get separated."
The researchers said they were experimenting to see the extent to which dolphins were using their vocalization skills for identification purposes.
To reach their findings, the UK team observed a population of between 150 and 180 dolphins living off the eastern coast of Scotland. Individual dolphin's signature whistles were identified and recorded. Signature whistles were then played back to an entire group of around 20 dolphins. The researchers digitally altered the dolphin voices to keep the animals from hearing a familiar voice, While still being able to distinguish the whistle.
"The way you see who is responding is to listen for the signature whistle to see if the animal produces its own whistle back to you when you play its whistle," Janik said.
In addition to whistling their own signatures back, the dolphins often turned their attention to the researchers' boat after hearing the call.
"The interesting thing about these is that they are not voice recognition," said Janik. "In humans you can have different people say the same word and I'd still be able to tell who's speaking. What we also do is have names, so they are very different call types."
"The dolphins do the same thing, they're developing a completely new call type, a melody or whistle, which is not dependent on their voice features," he added.
The researchers noted that understanding how dolphins use these types of call could help us to understand the development of our own language skills.

SETH — They're celebrating at Sherman High School and throughout the Boone County area after the Tide softball team earned its first trip to the state tournament last week.
Sherman defeated Fayetteville, 18-0, to claim the Class A, Region III title. The win came after the Lady Tide breezed through the sectional, defeating Valley twice in the double-elimination round.
Then, the Tide beat Man in the semi-regional before crushing Fayetteville to gain their first trip to Jackson Park in Vienna where the state tournament is played.
The Tide kicks off action there in the opening round on field 3 of the Jackson Park complex. Before their win over Fayetteville, the Tide had won only three other sectional tournaments to even make it to the regional round.
Veteran Tide Coach Jim Henderson, who earlier coached Sherman's boys basketball team, said he was "thrilled" Henderson told a reporter he was showered with congratulations when he arrived at the school Friday, hours after his team's win over Fayetteville Thursday evening. "It's a special moment," he said.
Sherman, whose up-and-down regular season contributed to a 20-13 record finished sixth in the final Class A state poll. Their 9:30 a.m., opponent, was fourth in the last rankings. Their won-loss record is not as good as Sherman's, however.
Sherman can trace much of their record to an extremely tough regular season schedule. They played three games against defending Class A champion Buffalo, winning one. They also fell to Double A's number five team, Ritchie County; Class AA number one Herbert Hoover and number two Sissonville, as well as Class AAA number four Logan.
But all three previous regional squads did not accomplish what the 2014 Lady Tide did. "You should have seen the smiles on the girls' faces," said Henderson. "They knew this was a special, first-time deal."
Henderson said the current team owes a debt of gratitude to past Sherman teams and their accomplishments. "This one is for all our previous teams that came so close," he said.
"Those kids' names are still in our record books and the community remembers them."
Henderson maintains the tougher competition helped his squad. Sherman, which has been a Class AA school at times in the past, basically played at Double A schedule, he said. "I think if you're ever going to be really good you have to play a challenging schedule."
A basic rule of high school softball is that an outstanding pitcher assures a team's success. Sherman has such a pitcher in ace junior Kylie Wells. She threw a one-hitter against Fayetteville and drove a home run against Man in the semis. Most coaches maintain handling the pitching is the main concern at state tournament time. With pitchers limited to the number of innings they can toss in a day, a key is to make sure the ace pitches just the number of innings required to win.
Junior second base player Jordan Lewis tops the team in batting average, with a .371. She also stroked five triples. Catcher Hali Jarrell, a senior, is batting .366. Senior Baylee Harless, a four-year starter at shortstop, hit .356, slugged five home runs and ten doubles. Harless has signed to play college ball at WVU Tech in Montgomery.
Although most state softball tournaments have been plagued with rainy weather, often postponing games, the forecast for Parkersburg, Vienna and vicinity was for clear skies as the week began.

My Stay At Jury's Inn Cork
My family and I stayed at Jury's Inn Cork Friday night and Saturday night.
Overall, the stay wasn't bad, but it wasn't the greatest economy hotel I've stayed at either. Initially I booked a room for Saturday only, but decided to see if we could come a day early. Luckily for us, Jury's Inn had a room for us Friday. However, this seemed to cause some confusion for the entire weekend and beyond. I was called on my mobile phone by the front desk staff on Saturday as I was site seeing asking how many nights I intended on staying which was weird because I confirmed my 2 day stay with the very same front end staff when I checked in. Twice. It does not inspire confidence to be asked several times how many nights you are staying.
Additionally, the website we booked through implied that Jury's Inn had a pool and free parking. Imagine my frustration when we pulled up and the parking lot of 25 spaces was full and was first come, first serve. We had to pay for parking a couple of blocks away. Additional frustration came when we asked about the pool--there wasn't one. Instead, for a €5 per person fee, we can go a couple of blocks a way to another hotel and use their pool. Dinner was poorly cooked and took way too long to deliver to the table. I had the swordfish and it was so overcooked, it had lost any flavor and was the consistency of rubber. The other meals were nearly as bad. If we hadn't been so hungry, we would have sent it back. But, as it took such a long time to get food to the table, we decided to just grin and eat it. The room itself was clean and tidy. It worked great for our needs. The only improvement would be to remind other guests that hallway noise travels into other guests rooms so quiet is necessary in the hallways. We were woken up by LOUD guests returning to their rooms late. Overall, I would not stay here again. There were cheaper hotels available. The reason I booked this one was the free parking and the pool.

I print ilfochrome classic and use a cold laminator to mount them.
You can get an extremely smooth mount(of course everything is relative) if you use a sander with 100 grit on gator board, and then use light pressure to apply the adhesive and print to the gator... of course you could also use milled aluminum which is beautiful! or masonite.... I would sand the masonite, and make sure the aluminum doesn't have any sharps spots or burs that would hurt your rollers,if you have a cold lamiator.
Otherwise the hinge mounting is best!
Good Luck.

I dont really know what to do...about a month ago my DHs grandfather accidently (or so he told us) helped a man and a woman steal almost 300 dollars of groceries from a grocery store. He picked them up in his car and helped them load the groceries and apparently didnt know they had stolen them all. well when the cops asked him about it at first he said he didnt know b/c the woman was his friend and he didnt want to get her in trouble but when the cops threatened to arrest him a few days later he told the truth getting the man and the woman arrested. The woman somehow made bail even tho she is rediculously poor, lives out of her van, and trades sexual favors with my DHs grandfather for money, food, ect...(im not saying I agree with it but thats his business) the man did not make bail and sent my DHs grandfather an email blackmailing him and saying he would send some friends to the house if he didnt respond. I told him to take the letter to the cops immediately but he refused and would not explain why. Now nobody else in the house is worried but I am because for 90 percent of the day and night I am the only person in the house with my LO. I will be moving in with my mother in a little over a month but they wont have space for us until then and they are already rushing to get the space ready for us. I dont have anywhere else to go and I am really afraid for my childs safety as well as my own. Any suggestions as to what I should do? I would go to the police myself but I have no proof of the letter as grandpa got rid of it and I doubt anyone would back up my word as they all seem intent on ignoring the situation.

Of the Pope and the Lenten season
More News from Tessa R. Salazar
popular .
The Vatican Conclave's election of the 266th Pope, the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, who has adopted the papal name Pope Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, provides new meaning to the season of Lent, which is being observed by all 1.2 billion Roman Catholics in the next two weeks.
Known as a man of simplicity and humility, Saint Francis of Assisi is also the patron saint of animals and the environment. In fact, St. Francis of Assisi's feast day on Oct. 4 is celebrated with a blessing of animals.
If indeed, Pope Francis, the only non-European Pope in more than a millennium, intends to emulate St. Francis of Assisi, then simplicity and humility not only toward other human beings but also toward all of God's creations—big and small—would be the order of the day not just for the new Pope, but for all Catholics.
And this should provide something for Catholics to reflect upon more deeply during the Holy Week. It is, after all, the only days of the year when the faithful is firmly requested to forego eating animals.
Lenten 'sacrifice'
The spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, as lived by Pope Francis, places a deeper level of compassion to this Lenten "sacrifice" of the Catholic.
It is a sacrifice which, as more studies have pointed out, has turned out to be beneficial not only to our bodies, but to the environment as well.
The heart becomes "younger" when it isn't exposed to fatty foods and animal products, explains nutritionist-dietitian Blecenda M. Varona, DrPH, MPH, RND. "We hurt our endothelium by eating fatty foods and animal products," she explained.
Shunning meat also helps the environment to heal itself, and helps feed more hungry people. According to Frances Moore Lappe in "Diet for a Small Planet," the production system that generates our grain-fed meat diet not only wastes our resources but helps destroy them. The meat-eating habits of the wealthy around the world support a world food system that diverts food resources from the hungry. According to Jeremy Rifkin in his book "Beyond Beef," about a third of the world's total grain harvest is fed to cattle and other livestock, while as many as a billion people suffer from chronic hunger and malnutrition.

Qatar and Louis Vuitton: a suite match
LVMH Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, the French luxury goods conglomerate part owned by Qatar, has expanded its hospitality division with the acquisition of the Hotel Saint-Barth Isle de France on the Caribbean island of Saint Barts.
The latest addition to LVMH's growing portfolio of five-star hotels consists of 39 rooms, suites and villas and was bought for an undisclosed sum. Other luxury hotel portfolio already includes properties in Paris, the Maldives and Oman.
LVMH was formed by the 1987 merger of fashion house Louis Vuitton with champagne and liquor makers Moët Hennessy. Sovereign wealth fund Qatar Holding holds a 1.03 percent interest in the company, which was valued at around 699m euro ($914m) last year.
LVMH's profits for the first half of 2013 rose two percent to €2.71bn ($3.6bn), the Paris-based company said last month. Total sales for the six months were also up 5.6 percent to €13.7bn.

WADESBORO, N.C. A massive sinkhole is disrupting residents in Wadesboro, and the issue is not expected to be fixed for weeks.
The sinkhole opened up on an access road off of Highway 74 last week but has now expanded to roughly 50 feet wide and 20 to 25 feet deep, officials said.
A 30-year-old pipe from a nearby river runs underneath the road and couldn t handle the increased water pressure that resulted from heavy rain recently.
The sinkhole must be fixed by Claude Smith, a property owner in Rockingham, and construction may take at least six weeks. Smith owns the property and rents it to several area businesses.
A McDonald s, Pizza Hut and Harvest Ministries Church and Homeless Shelter are just a few of the places that lead to the road.
Roughly 10 people at the shelter had to be evacuated due to the sinkhole, and officials are working to find other areas to hold them.

PH to host next World Economic Forum
popular .
DAVOS, Switzerland—After President Benigno Aquino's debut at the World Economic Forum annual meeting here, the Philippines has agreed to host the next annual WEF summit focused on East Asian concerns.
Aquino announced in a chat with Philippine journalists covering him Friday night (Swiss time) that the Philippines would host the WEF East Asia Summit in 2014.
Myanmar is hosting this Asian-focused regional WEF summit this year, taking over from Thailand's hosting in 2012.
"Of course, it will not be as widely attended as the one here in Davos. But again, it puts us at the center stage of the world map for that period, which is something like July or so," Aquino said.
The WEF East Asia summit is attended by about a thousand business leaders, policy-makers, academicians and civil society.
"The details will have to be worked out. It was offered to us and I accepted hosting the event," he said.
The President met with WEF founder and executive chair Klaus Schwab, a German economist, during his visit to Davos.
Deemed by many as the de facto private sector representative of the world, WEF is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
The theme of the 43rd World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is "Resilient Dynamism" given various challenges faced by the global economy.

Kevin Garnett gives Ray Allen the cold shoulder
|10.30.12 at 9:05 pm ET
Just before coming in and making his debut for the Miami Heat to a standing ovation at American Airlines Arena, Ray Allen went over to the Celtics bench to shake hands with Doc Rivers and assistants Kevin Eastman and Armond Hill.
The look from Hill was chilly but nothing compared to when he tried going around Eastman and tap old teammate Kevin Garnett on the left shoulder. Garnett didn't budge as the above .GIF from www.gifulmination.com shows.

As 2013 comes to an end, it's time for Australian employers start actioning their end of year employment checklist.
1. Annual Shutdowns
Many Modern Awards require employers to provide a minimum of four weeks' notice of an annual shutdown. Notice must accordingly be provided immediately to Award-covered employees in order to comply with these provisions.
Civil penalties apply for breaching Award provisions relating to leave and other notice requirements.
Employers should also check leave provisions in Enterprise Agreements, employment contracts and leave policies for notice requirements for Award free employees.
2. Reminders of Required Standards of Behavior at End of Year Functions
To minimise vicarious liability risks, pre-party reminders should be sent to employees:
3. Work Health and Safety Considerations
A risk assessment of the end of year party should be undertaken to identify whether factors such as the location and nature of the end of year party warrant additional safety measures such as transportation and security arrangements.
A risk assessment should also be conducted for workplaces operating on 'skeleton staff' arrangements over the holiday period and appropriate measures implemented to minimise identified risks.
4. Probationary Employees
Employers should identify whether the probationary period of any new employees will finish during the holiday season. Appropriate action should be taken now to ensure that probationary employees do not inadvertently 'fly under the radar' and become eligible to bring an unfair dismissal claim in the New Year if their employment is ultimately terminated.
5. Preparation for Anti-bullying Measures Under Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)
Employers can take the following steps in the final weeks of 2013 in preparation of the commencement of the new anti-bullying measures on 1 January 2014.
The above actions will assist employers in welcoming a happy, safe, harmonious and legally compliant New Year.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Hart boys soccer team found ways to survive and advance.
SANTA BARBARA - Heads were held high as the final buzzer sounded at Santa Barbara High School on Friday night.
Last year, the Hart High girls soccer team won its quarterfinal game on the road, in penalty kicks, and against the No. 1 seed in its division.
Talia Roth is a writer's challenge.
At this point, it's become a force of habit for the Canyon girls basketball team.
The way the Hart girls basketball team came out of the gates on Wednesday against the Tustin Tillers and knew what their opponents were going to do in the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division IIA playoffs, one would have thought that the Indians watched hours upon hours of film.
It might not always be easy or straight forward.
Different place, different team and higher stakes.
Hart High point guard Myles Franklin drove to the hoop late in the fourth quarter only to be knocked on his back by a Cerritos High defender.
LOS ALAMITOS - The Valencia boys basketball team took its four-point loss to the Los Alamitos Griffins on Tuesday extremely hard.
Several players on the Hart girls soccer team have been here before.
The Canyon girls soccer team had done it before, and in the second round of the CIF-Southern Section Division II playoffs, it needed to do it again.
It didn't seem to matter what the West Ranch boys basketball team did on Tuesday night.
Trinity Classical Academy boys basketball head coach Jeremy Haggerty put it plainly when he talked about senior player Ryan Brooks.
The most dominant basketball team in the Santa Clarita Valley was, well, dominant on Saturday night. And the Valencia Vikings weren't necessarily that sharp either.
Chad LeDuff could've walked away from the CIF-Southern Section Individual Sectionals on Thursday empty-handed and still have been remembered as one of the Santa Clarita Valley's best boys tennis players ever.
When it comes to today's Santa Clarita Valley track and field competitors, they all have their motivations.
Clint Ross regularly slides out of bed and turns on baseball highlights, maybe a clip of David Ortiz launching a home run out of Fenway Park or Clayton Kershaw punching out a batter with an arching curve.
What Hart, Valencia, Saugus, Santa Clarita Christian and Trinity baseball have done is unprecedented in Santa Clarita Valley history.
Bianca Tinoco sat in the bleachers at Arcadia High School on a Saturday afternoon in April.
Success in sports, generally, is often predicated on knowing your opponent - their strengths, weaknesses, tendencies and oddities.
Kyle Ensing has made a massive impact on Valencia High School volleyball these past three years.
Chase Wheatcroft was the perfect representation of what Saugus baseball has been all about this postseason.
The second round has not been so kind to the West Ranch softball program in recent seasons, as the Wildcats have seen their season end there in three of the past four years.
CALABASAS - Which start was better - Hart's CIF-Southern Section Division I opening-round two-hit shutout by Jack Ralston on Thursday or its second-round one-hitter by Paul Richan on Tuesday?
A groundbreaking season for Albert Einstein Academy softball came to an end Tuesday at Centinela Park in Inglewood.
The Trinity Classical Academy baseball team entered postseason play last week with two things going against it - it had never won a playoff game and it ended the regular season on a five-game losing streak.
The Santa Clarita Christian baseball team is doing everything it can to show how easy playoff baseball can be.
As difficult as the challenge was a few days earlier, Valencia boys volleyball had an even bigger task ahead of it on Tuesday.
An April victory over Pacifica gave Valencia softball hope when the No. 2 seeded Mariners came to the Vikings' home field on Tuesday for a CIF-Southern Section Division I second-round game at Valencia High School.

For technical writing to be effective, you have to get your message across. And that, in turn, means proper planning.
"Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think."
— Niels Bohr
Writing is often divided into three stages: prewriting, writing and rewriting.Prewriting
At this stage, decide the purpose of writing a document. Fix the objectives, gather data and find out the type of audience (readers).
Plan the writing. Decide what portions of the data gathered have to be used.
You may have to adopt diverse strategies for effective prewriting. The strategies may vary with the situation. While gathering data, keep in mind the "six honest serving men:" who, what, why, when, where and how.
You may have discussions with the people in the organisation to decide the content. A brainstorming session may help. Prepare an outline, discuss it further and modify it using the feedback.
Prewriting is sometimes called invention. Inventing in this context implies finding an idea or argument to which you had been exposed, but which does not easily spring to your mind. In other words, you should apply your mind with concentration to crystallise what you should present in the document.
Accuracy, relevance and significance of the matter should be kept in mind during the process.
If you intend to prepare a thesis based on experimental research, you will divide the document into four convenient parts — problem, method, findings and discussion. The results should provide accurate information. Your experiments should be repeatable.
Decide the type of illustrations and graphics. If you feel that storyboarding will be of help, use the technique. Storyboarding involves sketching each page of your document to help visualise its final form. This will be of significant help in creating web content.
Start writing the document keeping in mind the objectives as well as clarity, conciseness, accuracy, logic, sequence, organisation, ethics and graphics. Although you know where you are heading towards, the reader has access only to the lines that he is reading at a particular moment. It is your duty to lead him to useful destinations through easy-to-travel paths and fulfilling his expectations. As you proceed, organise your train of thoughts wisely. Though you have planned your matter during the prewriting stage, it is a good idea to go on planning throughout the writing process. Perhaps, a better idea that will improve the text or the graphics may strike you. Such ideas often come up as you write. The original plan need not be a straightjacket.
As regards style, we may remember what Bill Stewart, an American journalist, once wrote: "For something simple, 10th grade language structures will do, but if it's really hairy stuff, back down to 8th grade or so. Think about what your audience knows and doesn't know, and what they want and don't want. Express things in terms of what they know and want, not what you know."
One significant aspect that is rarely mentioned is the need for developing typing skills. It is a great pity that many experts in professions use the computer as novices, using only two fingers, though God has generously given them 10. Though typing speed can never match the speed of thought, a reasonable speed of typing will prove to be a great advantage when you prepare documents. A few hours spent on developing typing speed and accuracy will help you greatly during several years of your career. The need for depending on others even for typing a quick mail or making a correction in a document can prove to be a serious handicap on occasions.
Those who use computers for writing should make it a habit to save the document frequently and keep back-up copies, lest they should be left with nothing in the event of computer failure.
You have put your ideas on paper or in the computer file. But they may not be in the best form possible. Your option is to revise and improve it. Any draft permits revision for improvement. This is an essential process in any writing, and not something that may be done, only if you have time for it. Perfection is something you cannot attain, but certainly something you can attempt. Not only correction of errors, but upgrading the document in content, style, and presentation, with perfection in mind. Filling gaps in information, removing redundant words or expressions, replacing a long word with a short one, simplifying sentence structure, providing better graphics, rearranging paragraphs for better logic, writing sub-titles and highlighting for emphasis are elements of revision. Documents such as a user guide that are to be read by thousands of non-specialists may have to undergo revision several times.
Depending on the nature of the document, you may make changes. Add an FAQ for pre-empting readers' queries. Introduce bullets or numbers replacing long text that carries several related points. Expand and explain rare abbreviations, unavoidable jargon and acronyms as they appear first. Remove obscure words and expressions that your readers may find difficult. Remove offensive phrases, if any, and soften the tone, ensuring enjoyable communication. Confirm precision in visuals. Check and recheck formulae and numbers to make the final document free from errors. Split sentences and paragraphs that are too long. Proofread. Provide more of white space, if necessary. In brief, make the document more reader-friendly. However, you should remember that in any technical writing, content is more important than form.
You may have to stand in the reader's shoes and try to see if you will get the message, even if you had no knowledge on the topic. A good idea is to field-test the document. You may give it to a few readers of the type targeted by you. Ask for their candid comments. Let them tell you the difficulties they encountered while reading. Approach their remarks with a positive frame of mind and improve the document to meet its objectives.

Aussies anxiously await hometown hero
The Aussie fans have an unequivocal passion for tennis. But after all these years, they still agonize for a hometown Grand Slam champion. Is a revitalized Lleyton Hewitt the answer?
Updated: January 13, 2009, 5:17 PM ETBy Ravi Ubha | Special to ESPN.com
The Aussies making the news this year before their home Grand Slam are certainly an interesting bunch. Lleyton Hewitt, who needed hip surgery in August to save his career, is on the mend, while the controversial Jelena Dokic attempts to resurrect her career yet again. A guy once tipped as the next big hope and a feisty baseliner round out the varied cast. Here's a closer look:

Not much to report on for today.
We went to a tour around Westgate Lake & Spa Resort this morning, on Turkey Lake Road. It's a fantastic concept and we were sold until they told us it wouldn't be our home resort and the one we were in fact purchasing in was out the back past AKL. Thankfully we hadn't signed anything at this point and told them it wasn't for us as that resort was too far out and we like to be central.
So that was our morning wasted :(
This afternoon we went to Florida Mall as we needed some clothes for the cruise, came out $300 lighter.
Had a late lunch at Ruby Tuesdays - very tasty.
This evening we popped over to DTD which was heaving, so today's photos are a couple for there tonight.
Tomorrow will be photo heavy as we're at AK in the morning and MGM in the afternoon. We're also transferring to Art of Animation for 3 nights from tomorrow too, so be prepared to be bombarded :)

Rome Angels and Demons Half-Day Tour
Reviewed by: Valerie H, May 2015
Grazie, Roberto!! Best guided tour my husband and I have ever taken.
If you're a fan of Dan Brown's novel or the movie although it deviates a little from the book, you must take this tour.
In the span of 4 hours, Roberto guided us through the entire story as we visited sites around Rome mentioned in the book. His knowledge of Rome and her history, the Vatican, and the artists who helped build Rome is exceptional! Roberto wove in facts and Roman history, educating and entertaining us throughout our journey.
Not to be missed!
Reviewed by: Christian B, May 2015
this was so much fun and extremely interesting if you read the book-it really made it all come together! Massimo was great at identifying the book fiction from the truth and spelling it all out-loved it! st angelo's is a must see-it was great and had wonderful views all around. we really liked this. loved the other churches we visited, too. there was a metro strike that day... traffic in rome was horrific yet the bus driver was able to keep the schedule-just amazing--kudo's to him
Reviewed by: virginia g, May 2015
I'm 52 and my son is 18 - we both enjoyed this tour. Roberto was a very engaging guide who mixed the story with historical truths in a delightful manner. Definitely recommend this !
Reviewed by: Martin M, May 2015
Guide really knew his stuff and he did a great job adding local color to the story.
Reviewed by: markgreyjoy, May 2015
This was definitely the highlight of our sightseeing experience during our visit to Rome. I was a little dubious whilst reading the description as it stated that you will be basically traversing back and forth across Rome and I thought you had to walk. This was not the case, to my joy. To get to the different places on the tour, a tour bus was provided, with a commentary of the story and the history of certain parts of Rome that were relevant to the story.
There were two tour guides as our group was fairly large, but our guide, Roberto, was amazing. He was able to immerse you in the story of Angels and Demons with ease, and he was so funny that it just made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
When we arrived in Piazza Navona, we had a 15-30 minute break to chill out for a bit and were offered a complimentary drink, which was a nice surprise.
My favourite part of this trip was the Santa Maria della Vittoria church where the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa statue by Bernini was housed.
All in all, a must for all who are travelling to Rome. You will enjoy it immensely, and be laughing the entire time. You won't even notice the 4 hours go and by the end, you will be wishing for more.
Reviewed by: Susanne G, May 2015
Great tour!
Our tour guide Robert was very entertaining and full of information about Rome.
I would highly recommend this tour money well spent

"Being multi-lingual gave children many more concepts to work with"
CHENNAI: Education is no protection against the Hindutva ideology, said Yash Pal, former chairperson of the University Grants Commission at the Madras Institute of Development Studies here on Monday. In an informal, wide ranging discussion entitled `Contemporary Issues of Social Concern,' he talked about the flaws in the current education system, the pressure of modern living on relationships and the growth of terrorism.
Being multi-lingual gave children many more concepts to work with, he said. The National Curriculum Framework that he has been involved with envisioned the textbook as an attempt to understand, not as the source of fixed truths. However, schools expressed unwillingness to include subjects like music in the syllabus, he said.
The education system was heavily weighted in favour of memorisation, rather than understanding. This was becoming an obstacle to the spread of scientific temper.
Mr. Pal defined `scientific temper' as `perspectives of science.' It gave the learner the ability to see the larger issues involved in any specific instance and establish a relationship between `the distant and the close.' The Hindutva ideology and religious fundamentalism had supporters in the scientific community. Such ideology had to be understood not simply as superstitious or irrational belief but as a product of growing disparities and obsession with `security.'

"I just received these invitations in the mail and LOVED them. Everything was perfect and the design specialist was great to work with. Would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas and can't wait to order my Thank you cards."
"I looked at SO MANY wedding invitations. These were the most beautiful, highest quality, gorgeous and most reasonably priced. I am going to use them to make our programs and order thank-you notes. I HIGHLY recommend this product!"
"I picked these for my wedding invitation, and decided to spend the extra money to have them printed on pearl paper. I could not have been any more pleased. They are so beautiful! I was shocked at how much I loved them. I didn't think I could love a wedding invitation, but wedding paper divas proved me wrong! They're customer service is way beyond excellent, if that's even possible! If I need ANYTHING else for my wedding, wedding paper divas will be the ones I give my business to."
"I picked the Raspberry color and detailed everything in the card in the special instructions portion - bc i needed my invites to be in Spanish! And the turnaround was fantastic - the designer sent it back just as i had detailed and I was able to proofread and approve and the delivery was fast. Great quality - i used the square edges on this design and it just looks so nice and elegant the raspberry is a beautiful magenta / fuchsia tone which are the colors of my wedding. Really liked the way these invites turned out. Thanks!"
"This card turned out even better than we had hoped for, well worth the price Anyone who orders wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas is in good hands."

Shoofly Chardonnay 2012
Chardonnay from South Australia, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Shoofly Chardonnay is crafted with a touch more care, using carefully ripened fruit with just a touch of oak resulting in bright, juicy flavors reminiscent of grapefruit and melon. On the nose, this zippy Chardonnay offers aromas of tropical fruit, peaches and melon while on the palate; grapefruit and lemon zest are complemented by zingy acidity. This youthful wine is drinking great now and will develop more complexity over the next three years.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Soft in texture, with pretty pear and green guava flavors on a sleek frame, lingering gently on the finish."
Australian Wine Companion - "Good quality Adelaide Hills chardonnay has been largely left to communicate its message without embellishment, other than a well-judged touch of oak. Very good value."
Shoofly Winery
Shoofly's winemaker Ben Riggs is a native of McLaren Vale and has been crafting some of the region's finest for two decades. Ben knows his stuff and where to get it – his roster of grape growers is one of the most sought after contact lists in the country. Premium regions produce the best fruit and the grapes come from a "who's who" of Australian growers and viticultural neighborhoods – Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and Heathcote. View all Shoofly Wines
About South AustraliaMcLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, South Australia produces some of the finest red wines of the country, and some say in the world. White wines gain their reputation from the distinctive Rieslings of Clare Valley and Eden Valley.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

This are great full zip paints.... They are better then a lot of rain paints out there because they have little belt buckles on both sides to help hold them up... And this is nice with your pack belt on because they don't get pulled down... I think they are worth the price...
Have worn these pants thus far in rain, sleet and snow far both trail running and skiing. The California rains have been legendary/terrible in late 2014 but these pants have been more than up to allowing me to stay warm and comfortable no matter what mother nature had to dish out on any particular day and that included both a blizzard day and a frigid monsoon if that's not a self contradictory term.
