Whilst most hostels don't have any age restrictions, there may be some hostels that are unsuitable for young children or guests with disabilities. It is always good to double check before hand.

Yes - YHA is perfect for groups and we can cater for all sizes and ages. Depending on your needs, sole-use of the hostel may be best, whilst we can also provide educational and activity packages to keep you entertained during your stay.
The majority of our hostels are licensed to sell alcohol and some even have a bar, so you will not be permitted to bring your own. Where a hostel is booked on Exclusive Hire or where a license does not exist, you will be able to bring your own alcohol. Exceptions to this may apply, so please check with your chosen hostel prior to booking if this is important to you.
Unfortunately pets aren't allowed at Youth Hostels. This is a consideration of other guests who may be allergic, as well as the logistics of pets staying. We do however accept registered assistance dogs – please stipulate this when booking.

Some meals can be pre-booked online or through the YHA Contact Centre prior to your arrival. Have a look at some of the food we have available at our hostels here.
We have camping available at several YHA locations as well as glamping, camping pods, camping barns, huts and cabins. Have a look at our Camping and Cabins accommodation here.
Hostels are great places for groups to enjoy a break away. YHA Exclusive Hire allows you to hire out the whole of the building for you and your group at a set price during the year.

You don't have to share a room if you don't want to. Plenty of Youth Hostels have private rooms, family rooms and some even have ensuite bathrooms. Remember - sharing rooms is a fantastic way of meeting new people and what hostelling is all about...plus it's cheaper!

Youth Hostels are a fantastic 'home from home' when travelling. Hostels provide quality accommodation with affordable prices, which means you can see and experience more of what you want, without paying high end prices.
You can be assured of a warm welcome and comfortable and clean accommodation. Certain hostels have facilities that are more suitable for families, individuals, groups or outdoor enthusiasts.
Affiliates cover areas where we have no YHA hostels. They are accommodation providers which are recommended by YHA but aren't YHA hostels. Therefore there will be different terms and conditions when booking and you will be unable to use your YHA membership.
Meal times are as you'd expect, however timings vary slightly from each hostel. If you would like to know meal times, please ring the appropriate hostel.
All our hostels vary checking-in and check-out times. Just double check when you book and if in doubt give us a call!
At YHA, we're proud to be the number one place to meet new people. That's why; at all YHA locations you can book a bed in a shared single-sexed room for your visit. If you prefer your own space, some of our Youth Hostels offer private rooms, which can be booked for individuals, couples, families or groups.
Any luggage that doesn't contain valuables, such as clothes and toiletries are usually left in your room. We recommend that any phones, cameras, laptops, passports etc should be kept on your person or safeguarded. Most larger hostels will have a safe or lockers, however some of the smaller ones do not. Theft in hostels is fairly uncommon, and we'd like to keep it this way. Just have a think before you leave the room and if you've left anything of worth and value. Unfortunately, Youth Hostels are not held responsible for any lost or stolen items.
Wi-Fi is available in social areas of selected Youth Hostels (eg. dining room, lounge, etc). In a limited selection of hostels, Wi-Fi is available in the bedrooms. Wi-Fi is free to YHA guests.
Anyone can stay at Youth Hostels! YHA is open to all and everyone is welcome.

Neither shipwreck, amnesia, kidnapping nor deception can keep these star-crossed lovers apart! The Coltrane Saga, Book 6 When Colt Coltrane meets Russian prima ballerina Jade O'Bannon it is a case of love at first sight. But tragedy strikes when, on a voyage to America, a raging storm wrecks their ship, and Jade sees Colt swept overboard. Rescued from certain death by wealthy businessman Bryan Stevens, Jade slowly allows herself to think she might begin to love him. The only thing holding her back is the belief that Colt might actually be alive. Then at a glittering ball, Jade is jolted by the sight of Colt. When it appears he does not recognize her, she thinks he is pretending due to each of them being married to someone else. But then she discovers he suffers from amnesia due to the blow to his head when he fell overboard. Jade knows she cannot just announce the truth to Colt, that it will take time to ease into the reality of their situation. But, as when they first met, the two are inexplicably drawn together and fall helplessly into each other's arms?and in love. Too bad Bryan is willing to do anything to keep what he believes is his--Jade. This book was originally published by Avon Books in September, 1988.

Admission for P -12 classes - Thanks to the recent support of Canaccord Wealth Management, Primary – High school students from across Nova Scotia receive FREE admission when visiting with their class. Self-directed and guided groups must book ahead to participate in the Canaccord Free Access School Program.
Guided Tours - Our tours are conducted by a specially trained group of guides who will be making every effort to make your trip to the Gallery an enjoyable and enriching experience.
Self –Directed Visits - We strongly recommend that if you are bringing a group on a self-guided tour that you visit the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia before bringing your students. This will help you plan your tour and relay information to your chaperones.
Arrival - Please arrive on time but not more than 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled time. There are other groups visiting the Gallery and following your scheduled time will help with the flow of groups. For guided tours, your guide will meet you at the main entrance. Buses may stop on Hollis Street to let off and pick up your group - there is, however, no designated parking for AGNS.
Check in: Please have the group leader report to the front desk attendant. Be sure to inform them which school you are from and the head count of both students and adults.
School Staff and Chaperones – School staff and chaperones are responsible for the students. It is their responsibility to ensure that students and adults follow gallery rules. This ensures the safety of the students as well as the artworks. We strongly recommend dividing the class into smaller groups and assigning chaperones to oversee each smaller group. Please feel free to pre-assign students in small groups. Our maximum number of students per group is 15.
We require that at least one adult accompany your group for every 10 elementary students; or every 15 high school students; or every 8 students if it is a self-directed visit. There is a maximum ratio of 1 adult to 5 children. Any additional adults are charged ½ price admissions ($6). Lead teacher is exempt from this ratio.
1) Oil and dirt from our fingerprints leaves residue that over time causes deterioration and discoloration of the art. Touching could also cause immediate damage to artwork so please don't touch the art.
2) Keep a distance of an approximate arm's length from you and the artwork. This helps minimize potential touching or damaging the artworks.
3) Food, drinks, and gum are not permitted in the Gallery.
4) Visitors are permitted to take photos without a flash. The light from the flash significantly and irreparably damages artworks.
5) Students may use pencils to complete their assignments or sketches but pens are not permitted in the Gallery
Coat and Backpack Check - We ask you to bring a minimum of things with you to carry. You will be asked to check all coats, bags, backpacks, umbrellas, etc. Backpacks are not to be worn on your back in the Gallery. If they cannot be checked, they must be carried at your side. This prevents unintentional "bumps" into the artworks.
Scavenger Hunts / Worksheets – Pre-planned activities can be an important part of the students' visit as they can directly connect with classroom curriculum. Please emphasize to students and chaperones that it is not a race! We suggest keeping the students in smaller groups under the guidance of a chaperone to complete the activity.
Lunch and Snack Time – We do have a space to allow groups to eat their lunches and snack. This space must be booked ahead of time as we have many groups visiting the Gallery and this space may already be reserved. Please contact the Assistant Curator of Education ahead of time about the availability of the space. One studio seats 30 students. There is a nominal fee of $10 to use the studio spaces.
Fire Alarm - In the event of a Fire Alarm, the General Assembly area for the AGNS is the Ferry Terminal (Lower Water St.). Unless otherwise directed, Docents/Guides/Staff will escort students & chaperones to the General Assembly area and remain with the students until directed to return to the building by the Chief Fire Warden.
Cancellation - In the event of a tour cancellation, please contact Laura Carmichael as soon as possible.

The Murray engine is the earliest American supercharged engine still in existence. In 1911, Joseph J. Murray began design of air-cooled, valveless, 2-stroke, supercharged rotary engines, with the first model tested early in 1912. The engines were developed by the Murray-Willat Company, and built by the American Motors and Aviation Company, where Murray briefly served as Secretary-Treasurer. Murray engines were built through 1914.
This model followed the earlier 18.6 kW (25-hp) and 52 kW (70-hp) engines, and used an improved vane-type supercharger. Murray's engines never flew, but this artifact was installed in a Murray-designed monoplane that served as a prop in two early movies produced at Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, Saved by Wireless and Civilization. The aircraft was heavily damaged during production of Civilization and apparently not used again. The artifact is mounted on its original metal test stand.
Gift of Miss Vera C. Murray.

Is handwriting your sore point? Then, there's help at hand..
Ever had the experience of having the teacher's angry red pencil across your notebook and the comment "Please improve your hand writing!"? If so, have you done anything to improve that all important aspect of your life — handwriting?
Priti Govindaraj of Write Right Handwriting Classes, offers remedies to tackle this problem. She works on two fonts — cursive and print. With an hour for a class as she does not want it too taxing for the child. She has also formulated her own workbooks.
For a good hand
A student with bad handwriting needs structured help and not just blind practice.
Even if the child is in Std. XII, he/she has to begin at the basics. The foundation has to be strong. Don't leave it too late. Now is the time to act, for good handwriting leads to self motivation. Good presentation can make you score well and this will bring in great results.
Some tips:
The pen/pencil must be held in three writing fingers — thumb, forefinger and the middle finger.
Keep your legs together, back straight and the other hand on the book while writing.
Sit at a table.
Good light and ventilation helps.
The book must be at an angle of 40°.
There should be a distance between the head and the book.
Use only ink or gel pens.

Lily Aldridge: "I've never really been picked up. I don't know if I'm not that cute or what, but I don't really get hit on. I get like whistled at sometimes and I'm like [flashes thumbs up sign]."
Selita Ebanks: "''Oh, where are your wings because it looks like you fell from heaven?' Psh, I've been wearing wings forever, I don't need your wings. I got my own wings."
Q: So after the show's done, will you indulge in the holiday season and pig out?
Candice Swanepoel: "Actually, this year my problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy, I've been traveling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy. I've been eating steak and everying so I'm actually looking forward to eating some lighter food after this."
Lily Aldridge: "I love Thanksgiving. It's my favorite night of the year, food-wise. My mom makes the best turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes -- it's fantastic."
Selita Ebanks: "Tomorrow I'm stopping at a McDonald's to get my McFlurry with extra Oreos, OK? I have deprived myself of goodness for the last few months and I am ready to indulge. But for Thanksgiving, my family, I've been hiding from them. Because I'm such a good cook -- Ii'm gonna pat myself on the back -- my family, they're like, 'There's no one else that can cook for us, you have to come!' They're sending me the menus that they want, their requests, and I'm like, 'You guys are crazy. You better go to some restaurant and order some food.'"

2014 best baby and toddler products: Ease of use
1 / 25
Strollers that collapse easily, diaper bags with smart storage spots, bottles that practically clean themselves: Moms give high marks (and a lot of loyalty) to thoughtfully designed products that make their daily parenting hassle-free. See the winners in the Ease of Use category here.
2 / 25Baby Bathtub
Fisher-Price Aquarium Bath Center
Why moms love it
This Fisher-Price tub gets high marks because it's easy to use and doesn't take up much space. Moms love the easily removable soft sling that rests your baby just deep enough in the water for a bath. Endearing extras: Aquarium-themed toys help keep your baby distracted and entertained. Plus, its soft edges cushion your forearms and wrists while you bathe your little one, a temperature guide helps you get the water just right, and a little hook lets you hang it up to dry.
Cost: $44
What moms say
"This worked well for my children. It was easy to fill and empty, it was durable, easy to clean, and it was easy to bathe my children in."
"We purchased this tub before our son was born, and I appreciate that we never had to replace it. And if we have any more children, we can use it for them because it's still in good condition. It's lightweight and easy to use. I have no complaints!"
3 / 25Baby Bottle
Playtex Nurser with Drop-Ins Liners
Why moms love it
This bottle's disposable plastic liners make for quick cleanup, a big selling point for moms. The large nipple was also a plus for many moms because it made their baby's latch more like breastfeeding.
Cost: $3 each plus cost of bags
What moms say
"The larger nipples make this bottle similar to the breast and help the breast-to-bottle transition go more smoothly."
"I love the ease of the disposable drop-in liners. It makes washing bottles so much easier and quicker."
4 / 25Baby Carrier
Ergobaby Performance Baby Carrier
Why moms love it
The Ergobaby carrier won first place by a large margin, and moms can't sing its praises loudly enough. They appreciate how easy it is to use (although some said it was easier to fasten if a second person helped), the three carrying positions, the fact that it's washable and durable, and how comfortable it is to wear for hours at a time.
Cost: $135 to $140
What moms say
"Hands down the best baby carrier I've owned. Easy to use and never hurt my back."
"I love everything about this product – easy to wash, comfortable for my baby and me, great all around."
5 / 25Baby Monitor
Motorola Digital 2.8" Video Monitor MBP33
Why moms love it
Moms appreciate the ability to talk to their baby through the monitor, as well as the room temperature sensor, LED sound alerts, night vision, and five built-in lullabies. Some reported a short battery life and occasional sound interference, though.
What moms say
"The picture is very clear. It is easy to use, and I like the music options."
"I love everything about this monitor! We have recommended it so much that several friends have purchased it for their children as well!"
6 / 25Baby Toy
Sophie the Giraffe
Why moms love it
Moms hail Sophie as a simple toy that's truly top quality. The legs and nubby horns are easy for a teething baby to manipulate, and the squeak is just loud enough to keep a baby entertained. Another plus: no small parts to break off or clean.
Cost: $23 and up
What moms say
"This is the perfect toy for teething. It's also small enough in areas for a baby to handle it easily."
"I love that I don't have to worry about parts coming off and my baby choking. Sophie is very durable and easy to clean."
7 / 25Booster Car Seat
Graco Affix Backless
Why moms love it
Moms love how easy and straightforward the Graco Affix Backless is to use and install. Unlike most simple boosters, this one can be secured using your car's LATCH system.
Cost: $35
What moms say
"It's reasonably priced, durable, and lightweight but sturdy."
"A great price, and very comfortable, according to my son."
8 / 25Breast Pump
Medela Pump in Style Advanced
Why moms love it
This beloved pump (well, as much as a breast pump can be loved) earned top marks in nearly every category and scored the number one spot for its ease of use, looks, and value. Moms appreciate the discreet carrying case, quiet motor, and steady suction.
Cost: $245 to $340
What moms say
"This pump was well worth every penny. I used it with all three of my kids, and my sister used it with her three kids. All we had to do was buy the extra parts like tubing, flanges, etc. I love that it worked with a hands-free band, so I was able to pump while I worked."
"Loved the product. Easy to use and I love that you can pump directly into the special bags to freeze your milk!"
9 / 25Convertible Car Seat (TIE)
Safety 1st Complete Air 70
Why moms love it
This is a brand parents trust for its consistently strong safety ratings and love for its thoughtful design features, including side-impact protection, easy-to-adjust harness (no clumsy rethreading!), and five-position headrest. The Complete Air came in first place for quality – so it could last you through child number two.
Cost: $135 to $170
What moms say
"I love it overall. Easy to install, clean, use. Seems very safe, gives me peace of mind."
"I love that it reclines, so when she sleeps, her head doesn't just hang there."
10 / 25Convertible Car Seat (TIE)
Graco My Ride 70
Why moms love it
It's easy to see why many praise this convertible car seat. It's simple to install and use, and not as hefty or awkward as other models on the market. The My Ride 70 doesn't skimp on safety features, and it has thoughtful design touches, such as the two integrated cup holders that make sense for older kids' sippy cups, snacks, or toys.
Cost: $128 to $160
What moms say
"Easy to move from vehicle to vehicle."
"Very durable and good value for the money."
11 / 25Crib
Babi Italia Crib
Why moms love it
Clean lines, classic design, and good quality are just three reasons the Babi Italia crib ranked high with parents, who also appreciated how easily and quickly it switched from crib to toddler bed. The crib's molding trim adds a stately feeling to any nursery.
Cost: $350 and up
What moms say
"Very high quality product. Will last for generations, and has a nice design."
"Beautiful and well-constructed."
12 / 25Dad-Friendly Diaper Bag
Eddie Bauer
Why moms love it
Moms rated this bag the easiest to use of the pack, thanks in part to its many pockets as well as its changing pad and wet clothes pouch. They also gave it high marks for value and its dimensions – not too big, not too small. With a style that's more briefcase than baby bag, it appeals to dads as well as moms. And it'll grow with your family, thanks to the durable rip-stop nylon fabric.
Cost: $29 to $35
What moms say
"I liked that it was compact. The compartments are good."
"I love the overall product. Lots of pockets, and it's unisex."
13 / 25Diaper Bag
Vera Bradley
Why moms love it
Cheery, distinctive prints on a lightweight but durable quilted fabric are part of the popularity, but the well-though-out interior pockets (almost a dozen), top zipper design (for rooting around with one hand while holding your baby in the other), plus a terry-covered changing pad and pacifier clip make this a winner when it comes to ease of use. Moms also praised how easy it is to toss into a washing machine when the grime builds up.
Cost: $100 and up
What moms say
"Enjoyed the design and many pockets. It was also comfortable to carry."
"I can throw the whole bag in the washer. I love it especially after traveling to wash off all the grime from airports and such."
14 / 25Diaper Pail (TIE)
Dekor Plus
Why moms love it
The Dekor Plus was a winner in both the ease-of-use and looks categories. There's no twisting or pushing – you step on the pedal, drop the diaper in, and go. It's available in interesting, design-savvy colors like gray and sage green. And while the company offers scented liner refills, many moms successfully use regular trash bags – adding to the ease and convenience.
Cost: $40
What moms say
"I like the look – very stylish – and it does what it promises. I also like that I can use normal trash bags in it. The protection against kids and odor is good, and the little hook to cut the bag comes in handy. It's an almost perfect product."
"It never smelled – can't say more than that!"
15 / 25Diaper Pail (TIE)
Munchkin Arm & Hammer
Why moms love it
Moms had plenty of praise for the odor-containing power of this pail, with its built-in baking soda dispenser and a sealing system that kicks in when you close it. The refill bags cost about 50 cents each, though – the only unpopular part.
Cost: $30 to $39
What moms say
"I've recommended this to every new mother I know and everyone has purchased it. It's worth the money, durable, and extremely easy to use."
"I don't like that you have to buy specific bags for the pail. However, out of all the ones that have you do that, these are the least expensive."
16 / 25Double Stroller
Baby Jogger City Mini Double
Why moms love it
The City Mini Double won this category by a wide margin. It also had top scores for value and space saving. Moms love the double version for many of the same reasons they love the single – the easy-fold action, the smooth ride and maneuverability, and the sturdy but lightweight construction. It's versatile, too: With a car seat adapter, it can function as a travel system.
Cost: $449
What moms say
"I love this stroller. The colors are bold and bright and unique. It's narrow enough to fit through a standard doorway, but roomy enough for two comfortable kids – not sure how they do that. Easily breaks down to fit in a trunk."
"Love everything about this stroller. Durable, easy to fold, looks great."
17 / 25Highchair
Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair
Why moms love it
A quarter of the moms on the awards panel use this little chair. It won in four of the categories – ease of use, space saving, durability, and value – and came in second overall. Moms love its compact size, durability, and easy-to-clean design.
Cost: $45
What moms say
"Best thing I ever bought. It fits perfectly on any chair, is truly portable, and cleans up easily. My second child is now using it and it's still in great condition."
"I love this product because it saves space in my kitchen and doubles as a booster as kids get older."
18 / 25Infant Car Seat
Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat
Why moms love it
Chicco slides into first place for creating a car seat that's easy to install, with a handy bubble indicator that lets you know if the angle is off when you snap it into place. It also nabbed first for looks and quality, thanks to a streamlined design, attractive color schemes, and highly durable seat materials.
Cost: $190
What moms say
"Very easy to install in the car. Straps are also easy to adjust."
"It's easy to clean. Also, it fits into my small car and the straps are very simple to adjust."
"Light, but safe. That's all that matters."
19 / 25Jogging Stroller
Bob Revolution Jogging Stroller
Why moms love it
The BOB ranked best in ease of use, as well as quality, good looks, and value. Not only does the suspension feel luxe, there are high-end details like easy steering and a generous sunshade.
Cost: $359 and up
What moms say
"I love that I can steer this with one hand. It's great on all terrains and easy to fold and open."
"It's rugged and durable! Runs great, cleans easily, comfortable."
"This is the best stroller for jogging (or doing anything) one-handed – a requirement if you need another hand for another child. I can steer with one pinky if the wheels are filled properly."
20 / 25Lightweight Stroller
The First Years Jet Stroller
Why moms love it
Not only is it a featherweight 11 pounds, the Jet is easy to fold and unfold – important given that this is a travel stroller for many parents. Features like a multiposition recline, large parent console, spacious basket, and generous sunshade make this a great value, too.
Cost: $50
What moms say
"Inexpensive, but still good quality."
"It has held up through overseas travel, off-roading, daily use, and airports."
21 / 25Play Yard
Graco Pack 'n Play with Reversible Napper & Changer
Why moms love it
It's just the right combination of convenience and simplicity – not too tricked out and not too spare, moms say. Once their babies were no longer infants, several moms said they used it as a travel crib and considered it easy to pack up and tote. Some said they'd like more gender-neutral colors and designs.
Cost: $85 to $100
What moms say
"I love that the changing table fits right on top, and the extra level for naps is awesome too!"
"Our first is 2, and we still use it with him and our second child. Love it."
"I was able to use it as a changing table and then as a bassinet. Now we use it when we travel."
22 / 25Potty Seat
BabyBjӧrn Toilet Trainer
Why moms love it
Moms appreciate the seat's size and simplicity, and the fact that the waste goes directly into the toilet, avoiding the dump-and-clean part of potty training. Also great: Kids can put it on and remove it themselves using the handy rubber ring.
Cost: $30 to $35
What moms say
"Nice and small, and you don't have to clean a potty after every use."
"I love this product. This was probably our single best baby purchase after diapers."
23 / 25Standard Stroller
Baby Jogger City Mini
Why moms love it
A high scorer across several categories, the City Mini comes from the company that built its reputation on lightweight, maneuverable strollers for urban use. This stroller glides over sidewalks and curbs with just a gentle push. The City Mini's price also hits a sweet spot in many parents' budgets.
Cost: $190 to $250
What moms say
"I purchased this after months of research. I finally tested it out at a baby store and brought it home immediately."
"I love this stroller! Once I got used to it, I wanted to use it all the time. I love knowing that I can use it even when my baby's much older."
24 / 25Toddler Toy
Lego Duplo Deluxe Bricks Box
Why moms love it
Lego has built up tremendous brand loyalty from kids and parents alike, so it's no surprise that these chunky toddler-sized blocks are a winner. They're colorful, practically indestructible, and great for all stages of toddler play, from solo to parallel to sharing. And because the bricks are bigger than the classic Legos, moms feel safe letting their kids explore.
Cost: $50 and up
What moms say
"My daughter loves these blocks. They are her favorite toys out of many choices."
"These grow with my child and are big enough for my littlest to enjoy as well."
"I like the box they are packaged in. I also like that they are big enough so that I don't have to worry about my child's safety."

PORTLAND More than 400 people have filed police reports about car vandalism in Portland since May and investigators said it doesn t appear to be slowing down.
Police said they re not sure whether the vandalism has been the work of one or many criminals. They also haven t been able to come up with a motive.
Damage has been estimated at more than $100,000 already and investigators said that number is likely higher because not everyone files police reports.
Background: Tire slashing damages could total $120K
Police said the cases have stretched across nine different neighborhoods on the east side of Portland. The vandals have been puncturing the side-walls of tires. This makes it impossible to repair the tires, so they must instead be replaced.
Other people have found huge holes cut into their convertible tops.
More: Vandals carving into SE Portland convertibles
One victim, who joined the detective on the case Wednesday, had a message for whoever is to blame.
You re not making a point. You re just being annoying. And why hurt people and why hurt their property -- for what? She asked.
Police do not have any suspect descriptions so they have offered a $1,000 reward with the hope that it will encourage someone to come forward with tips that could break open the case.
Anyone with information that may help investigators was encouraged to call the Portland Police Bureau.

Karton offers recycled cardboard creations for home furniture
Measuring 203 cm (79 in) in length and 30 cm (12 in) high, the "Paperpedic" bed is made from 100 percent recyclable cardboard and can be assembled within minutes
Aside from the Paperpedic Bed, Karton's range include chests of drawers, TV units, room partitions and cardboard animals which can be decorated and painted
Each piece of furniture is delivered as a flat-packed paper stack and can be put together without any tools or glue
Wollner says Karton won't be resting on its laurels, with some ideas to expand its range already in the pipeline
Article Summary
It's generally only when its time to pack up and move house that the typical homeowner encounters large quantities of cardboard. In bicycle helmets and vacuum cleaners, however, we have seen some innovative applications for the material beyond its use as lightweight and durable packaging. Karton, a cardboard furniture company offering everything from beds to room dividers, takes a similar approach, yet aims to go beyond the novel and make its paper constructions a charming and practical part of your living solution.

'Friend' briefs admitted in trade suit
— Granting of Canadian filings a surprise.
— Arguments slated July 13.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last week accepted a large number of amicus curiae briefs—also known as "friend of the court" briefs—in the appeal of an approved preliminary injunction banning the reopening of the U.S. border to Canadian live cattle. The court was also asked to reexamine an earlier request for intervener status in the late July permanent injunction hearing regarding Canadian beef and live cattle.
While several U.S. groups, on both sides of the issue, were expected to have their written opinions taken into account by the court, there was some surprise when the Canadian Cattlemen's Association (CCA), the federal government of Canada and Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) had their "friend" briefs accepted.
Amicus curiae briefs permit those affected by the outcome of a case to provide relevant information for consideration by the judge or judges deciding the matter.
Legal experts said that a lot of courts won't allow non-U.S. entities to have much say in domestic U.S. lawsuits, particularly when the litigants are both domestic and the case impacts a domestic industry.
"We're very encouraged that the (appellate) court granted CCA and other groups that will be impacted by the outcome of this case the opportunity to have input," said CCA President Stan Eby. "The economic future of CCA members, the cattle producers of Canada, will be hugely impacted by the outcome of both the appeal of the preliminary injunction, and the hearing on a permanent injunction that will be held in U.S. District Court for Montana."
Last Tuesday, both CCA and ABP filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit asking for its request for intervener status in the permanent injunction case to be reinstated. The permanent injunction case is scheduled for oral arguments July 27 in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Billings.
CCA's brief says that CCA has both a significant economic interest in the outcome of the proceeding, and an equal and related interest in how the U.S. structures and implements its BSE regulations. The briefs also argue that Judge Richard Cebull abused his discretion by "failing to accord deference to the voluminous and scientifically substantiated record entered by USDA, while at the same time adopting, often verbatim, unsupported and inaccurate conjecture offered by R-CALF (United Stockgrowers of America)."
Other groups in favor of resuming cattle and beef trade with Canada who had their amicus briefs granted last week included the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, American Farm Bureau, American Meat Institute, and National Meat Association.
Sixty-seven state, regional and national organizations have filed an amicus brief in favor of keeping the injunction in place. Lead organizations in that filing included the Organization for Competitive Markets, the National Farmers Union, Consumer Federation of America, Public Citizen and a very large group of state and regional producer organizations that make up the Cattlemen's Competitive Market Project (CCMP).
Oral arguments on the injunction appeal have been set for July 13 in Seattle, WA. The three-judge panel to hear the arguments has not yet been selected, however, they could be known sometime during the first week of July, according to an appellate court clerk.
The hearing on the permanent injunction request is scheduled to begin July 27 in Billings, MT. Unlike the preliminary injunction, which bans just Canadian live cattle from entering the U.S., the permanent injunction request includes a ban on all Canadian beef from crossing the U.S./Canada border.
Several sources said it would be unlikely that Cebull would rule on the permanent injunction on the same day oral arguments concluded. However, legal experts said they didn't expect him to rule on the temporary injunction on the same day as oral arguments were presented, which he did.
Cebull reinstated the ban on Canadian live cattle on March 2, five days before USDA's final rule regarding cattle imports from "minimal BSE risk" countries was scheduled to go into effect. R-CALF cited several shortcomings, including a lack of "scientific facts" and public health concerns, in the final import rule, with which Cebull agreed.
The clerk with the appellate court said that CCA and ABP's appeal for intervener status in the permanent injunction request had not gone through the judge allocation process last week and would probably not be ruled on until early- or mid-July. — Steven D. Vetter, WLJ Editor

Pune : Some residents of Sayyad Nagar have demanded a ban on the radical right wing radical group Hindu Rashtra Sena (HRS), after the eruption of communal riots in the city. The riots broke out in the Hadaspur region, after the members of the HRS killed a 26-year-old hardware engineer Mohsin Shaikh, on allegations of posting a derogatory post on Shivaji Maharaj and the late Bal Thackeray.
Residents who have suffered during the riots have decided to write a letter to the state Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a ban on the outfit headed by Dhananjay Desai, on charges of disturbing the communal harmony in the city.
One of the local residents of Sayyad Nagar, Akbar Shaikh, said that the HRS is spreading hatred in the society, and diverting the minds of youth for wrong doings, which is dangerous for the communal harmony of the society.
"The government has banned the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), after the members of the organisation were found to be involved in terrorist activities. Why is the government then taking time to ban outfits like the HRS, whose role has been established Shaikh's murder," he questioned.
He added that the head of the HRS, Dhananjay Desai, has a history of making hateful and inflammatory speeches, against the Muslims community, and there are several cases registered against him in various police stations across the city

What is '777'?
It's a worldwide on-the-hour prayer chain. God's people are praying seven days a week at 7:00am and 7:00pm for the Holy Spirit's presence in our families, leaders, churches, and communities. Praying any hour, on the hour, a person will unite with thousands of others in another time zone around the world, bringing unity. "A chain of earnest praying believers should encircle the world . . . to pray for the Holy Spirit" (Review and Herald, January 3, 1907).
Get the free InPrayer app for iOS/Android to remind you of the prayer times and bring you the daily devotional.
January-June focus: Mission to the Cities
Mission to the Cities is an emphasis of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on sharing Jesus' love and the hope of His soon return with people in urban settings. It envisions initiatives in more than 650 of the world's largest cities, starting with New York City in 2013 and running through 2015. Comprehensive outreach activities will be as varied as the character of each city, and will include LifeHope Centers, community events, health seminars, small groups, and reaping campaigns.
- The church members and church leaders working in these cities
- The people yet to be reached with the Gospel
- The world divisions and unions to develop strategies for reaching the large cities in their territories
- The thousands of outreach activities and reaping events currently taking place
- The strongholds of Satan to be broken, and relationships with Christ to be established
- Plans and activities of all thirteen divisions and attached unions (Middle East and North Africa Union) regarding "Mission to the Cities".
- Integrated focus of all Seventh-day Adventist media activities to provide for massive evangelistic emphasis around the world.
- Full understanding and usage of Comprehensive Health Ministry ("medical missionary work") allowing all church members to meet people's needs and follow Christ's ministry of service to others.
- Deeply spiritual and evangelistic perspective of every church administrator around the world as they point church members to Christ and the unique mission and message of the Seventh-day Adventist church founded on Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:6-12; and Revelation 18:1-4 which have been entrusted into the hands of God's end-time church. We must beseech the Lord to help pastors and church members to never lose the prophetic identity of who we are as the Seventh-day Adventist Church—God's remnant church at the end of time.
- United evangelistic and witnessing activities of every Seventh-day Adventist man, woman, and child around the world empowered by the Holy Spirit's power as we submit to His leading in our lives. This will keep us active in God's service combatting apathy and complacency through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each life. Total engagement and active participation of every church member around the world is a key to the final proclamation of the Loud Cry. As we submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, this will allow Christ to make us one, thus fulfilling Christ's prayer of John 17 as we understand our role in this world as a prophetic movement and fact the end of the great controversy leading to Christ's soon return.

unsweetened cocoa powder

Excellent as is - without the icing. These bake up with a soft inside. I included the chopped pecans, but sans the raisins. They were a big hit.
I love this recipe. This is one I grew up with!

Disappointing. The cookies turned out dry and tough and bland; I couldn't taste the spice, even though I added an extra tablespoon halfway through, and the flour overwhelmed the trace sweetness. I did substitute yoghurt for the buttermilk, but I don't think that this is the problem. :(
These turned out well! Soft and tasty. You jsut have to make sure they don't bake too long. I added some extra spices - maybe twice as much cinnamon (and I didn't have cloves so I did nutmeg instead). I'd like to try them frosted - maybe with a flavored frosting, because they do have a fairly mild taste.

The offer is stiffly valued with limited visibility on the revenue front in the medium term.
Shanthi Venkataraman
Investors can avoid the initial public offer of Bhagwati Banquets and Hotels. The valuation is at 23-25 times the annualised earnings for FY-07 on an expanded equity base.Peers such as Sayaji Hotels and Kamat Hotels are available at better valuations on a one-year forward basis.
While the foray into Surat augurs well for the diversification and expansion of the catering and banquet businesses, the scale of its project poses execution risks.
With the project set to come up only in December 2008, the potential upside to revenues in the near term is limited.
BBHL operates the "Grand Bhagwati" hotel, located in a prime entertainment and shopping area in Ahmedabad. The 37-room property appears to be more sought after for its banqueting facilities, with income from rooms accounting for only 15 per cent of revenues so far.
This makes the business different from conventional hotel companies, where room revenues drive profits.
BBHL also undertakes outdoor catering, operates food courts and manages rooms and restaurants of the Karnavati Club in Ahmedabad.
In the first nine months of FY-07, the company recorded revenue of Rs 25 crore and profits of Rs 3 crore. BBHL is now raising Rs 90 crore (including promoter contribution of about Rs 20 crore) to fund the setting up of a 100-room property at Surat, a textile hub and famous for its diamond industry.
The proposed property is likely to enjoy a locational advantage being closer to the airport and the industrial centre of Hazira.
However, hotels in Surat are unlikely to enjoy the kind of occupancies and room rates of Tier-I cities, with Ahmedabad still likely to be a stronger destination for conventions because of its international connectivity.
Most big industrial facilities outside Surat also have their own accommodation to cater to the needs of their visitors, which limits the scope of demand.
Profitability concerns
BBHL has till now been in a more stable business space as it relies on wedding banquets and other functions to drive income from food and catering, which is non-cyclical.
However, with a 100-room property, the thrust may have to shift towards increasing occupancies; an inability to do so would hamper profitability.
This challenge might become more severe as several top players are planning budget or low-end hotels in Tier-II cities such as Surat, which are known to be more price-sensitive.
The hotel is expected to come up in December 2008. With no triggers for revenue growth in the immediate term, profit growth may fail to compensate for the huge expansion in equity base.
Offer details: About 1.85 crore shares are on offer to the public at a price band of Rs 36-Rs 40. Of the total shares on offer, 10 per cent will be compulsorily allotted to QIBs (Qualified Institutional Buyers).
If QIBs do not subscribe to the extent of at least 10 per cent of the offer, the money collected will be refunded.
The offer opens on April 18 and closes on April 25. The lead manager is Chartered Capital and Investment.

Honda "feeling" by Wieden & Kennedy London
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 16 December 2011 08:53AM
The ads will run across TV and radio until the end of December in a bid to promote responsible drinking.
The TV spot, created by Anomaly New York, features a group of friends waiting to go to various social functions, including a wedding, football game and a music gig.
One of the friends nominates himself as the designated driver and is seen at the end of the ad drinking a Bud, with the strapline which reads, "Designate a driver and enjoy the good times."
The 30 and 60 second radio ads feature a Bud "coach" giving a rousing team talk ahead of a night out, stressing the importance of a designated driver.
It states that the one thing every team needs is a leader who's going to drive the team to victory, making sure everyone gets home safely because "it is the most important thing".
Vizeum handled the media planning and buying.
Iain Newell, western European marketing director at Budweiser, said: "As a company, Anheuser-Busch InBev is committed to delivering on our dream of being the 'Best Beer Company in a Better World'.
"Our efforts to promote responsible drinking are an important part of achieving that dream."
Budweiser launched its first "designate a driver" campaign in June last year to promote responsible drinking during the World Cup.

Fabulous Ice Phenomena
Winter creates some wonderful ice formations, and the natural phenomena known as frost flowers and hair ice are two of the most intriguing, such as these photographed at Savernake Forest; however they are not made from frost but are actually ice crystal formations that come up from the ground.
Look Out For Active Bumblebees This Winter
To most of us the sight of a bumblebee is a clear sign of spring or summer and the warm weather that we at least hope for at these times of the year. However since the late 1990's, an increasing number of sightings have been recorded of Buff-tailed Bumblebees during the winter months, particularly during December and January.
Unseasonal Sightings
The recent mild weather has seen reports of some unusual wildlife sightings. Many sightings are much later than usual, such as butterflies being spotted in December; others are occurring many months earlier than normal.
One in Five Plants Are Now Threatened With Extinction
A new report A Vascular Plant Red List for England by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) reveals one in five vascular plant species are threatened with extinction, including the Wiltshire County flower, the Burnt-tip Orchid.
Rare Small Ranunculus Moth Spotted
The Small Ranunculus moth (Hecatera dysodea), which has in recent years reappeared after a period of extinction in the UK, has been recently sighted, outside the WSBRC's office! Not only was this rare species spotted, at least 20 of the small green caterpillars were counted on one plant, a fantastic sighting.

These are tons of fun for the cats. They do tend to spend a lot of time lost under the fridge, couch, stove and any other appliance or piece of furniture tne cats bat them under. They are soft enough that they do not hurt if you accidentally step on one.
Pros: fun
Cons: get lost under furniture easily

Final trailer for Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' released - watch
Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson star in the eagerly-anticipated WesternBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
The final trailer for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained has been released - scroll down to watch it.
The film, Tarantino's first since 2009's Inglourious Basterds, is a Western set in the American South during the 1800s. It stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a freed slave who teams up with a bounty hunter, played by Christoph Waltz, in a bid to murder a gang of killers called the Brittle Brothers. If successful, Django will secure his own freedom forever and liberate his enslaved wife.
Kerry Washington appears as Django's wife, Broomhilda, while the stellar cast also includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Tarantino regular Samuel L Jackson.
The latest trailer features plenty of gun-toting and some choice glimpses of DiCaprio's performance. The actor is tipped for a Best Supporting Actor nomination at next year's Oscars for his role as Calvin Candie, the ruthless but charming owner of the plantation where Django's wife is enslaved.
Several previous trailers for Django Unchained have been released and you can watch them here, here and here. The film is scheduled for release on December 25 in the US and January 18 in the UK.

Rep Power:
Before I got refrigeration I used to think I wanted an engine drive system. This was because I was familiar with them from chartering as most charter boats have an engine driven system. When I started cruising full time I opted for a 12v system. In my mind it is by far the better system for cruisers.
Most 12v systems are cheaper to buy and easier to install.
Cruisers spend most of the time at anchor and you don't want to run your engine twice a day just to keep the reefer up. Wth solar and wind there is no need to run the engine. The downside is that you will require a larger battery bank.
A friend of mine opted for engine driven before he took off cruising. While he was still here he had to empty the fridge at the end of every weekend. With a 12v you can keep it running with shorepower charging the batteries and don't have to lug everything home Sunday night. When he was in Venezuela for the hurricane season, the marina was very reasonable but he was segregated with other engine driven fridge boats in an undesireable section of the marina because he had to run his engine every day.
Just my two cents on what's the "better" system for cruising.

The Thrama Matic Plus/50 lenses are great for flat/low lighting. The lens is not very dark and they're supposedly not designed for bright sunlight... but I use 'em anyway. No complaints.
The frame/lens does collect some sweat but not nearly as bad as some other shades I have tried. I'll admit that I don't "prespire", I sweat, lots of it. I doubt any lens would be totally sweat-free for me.
The low-down: a great pair of glasses. You will be happy looking like a bug-eyed martian... and I mean it. 4 chilis for value since they can be found at good prices. 4 for overall only because of sweat.

Great fit. Good protection for contact lens users. The lenses are very good optically, but the real strength of these glasses is the different lens tints available. The Matic 50 lens is perfect for racing in overcast and shaded area because it allows you to pick out obstacles in dim light better than any other glasses I've ever used. And it still will work in bright light because of the color of the tint.
They look a little bit stupid...remember that this isn't a fashion show. In really slow and hot conditions they may cause your face to sweat.
