GOP schooled on education politics
Republicans thought this would be the year to make education their winning issue, but not so far.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
Republicans thought this would be the year to make education their winning issue, but not so far.
All Policy is Local: Pre-K on the campaign trail
Sen. Lamar Alexander has an ambitious plan that ultimately might not go anywhere.
Written in alignment with state education standards, the books are seen as overly ideological.
States are scaling back and, in some cases, putting off decisions until Obama is out of office.
A judge reaffirms a ruling that struck down laws governing job protections for California teachers.
The two Republican governors who repealed Common Core this year get very different results.
The Louisiana governor alleges that the Education Department has violated federal law.
The superintendent races are cauldrons for a sizzling debate about the Common Core.
The former Arkansas governor says the standards have become too compromised.
Democrats have embraced pre-K in their platforms for years. Now, Republicans are getting on board.
Top promoters of the standards conclude they're losing the broader public debate.
All Policy is Local: Education examines how education policy issues are affecting the 2014 midterm elections.
They're out to oust incumbents, especially Scott Walker, Rick Scott and Rick Snyder.
Common Core standards push aside his old policy that flunks third-graders over a reading test.
An appeals court rules the University of Texas can use affirmative action on a limited basis.
The American Federation of Teachers, which once fully backed the standards, urges revision.
Universities, she says, are violating federal law by failing to investigate sexual assaults.
Lily Eskelsen García will become the voice of roughly 3 million teachers at a critical juncture.
Leaders fear the court could undo laws that would decimate union membership.
John White is displeased with the governor, saying he had no authority to do what he did.

2. Manuel Neuer
Club: Bayern Munich
Wage: £5.6 million-a-year
No one can rival Manuel Neuer for presence between the sticks. When a player lines up to take a penalty they have a huge target to hit. That target shrinks significantly when the Bayern Munich goalkeeper stands in their way.
Playing for the best club in the world, Neuer was always likely to be high up on the list. He has performed exceptionally for Bayern Munich as they continue to dominate the European and domestic stage. They are on course for an unheard of double treble this season.

CHARGERS NOTES: Defense steps up in red zone
DENVER ---- The Denver Broncos put together a few long drives on Sunday, but never reached their destination. The Chargers' defense made sure of that.
The Broncos entered the red zone four times, and left with nothing ---- not even a souvenir field goal. The Chargers were at their best when backed into a corner, clamping down on the Broncos' attack when it counted most.
"Red zone defense is all about elevating your game," outside linebacker Shawne Merriman said. "You'd rather not let a team get down there in the first place, but you have to man up if they do and keep them out of the end zone."
That happened each time, twice because of timely takeaways. Shaun Phillips sacked starting quarterback Chris Simms deep in Chargers territory and forced a fumble that was recovered by defensive back Steve Gregory.
The second time, the Broncos were even closer. Denver running back Knowshon Moreno fumbled near the goal line in the second quarter and again Gregory was there to pounce on it.
Jacques Cesaire was credited with forcing the fumble, which occurred just inches from the end zone, but it was unclear exactly how the ball came loose.
"Those turnovers in the red zone changed the game," Chargers tight end Antonio Gates said. "If they score points there, it's a close one."
Victory was rarely in doubt during the Chargers' 32-3 win, thanks in large part to a Chargers defense that was consistently stout in the red zone.
"We pride ourselves on not letting them in," Gregory said. "It's our motto down there to buckle down and do whatever it takes to keep them out of the end zone. That's our mind-set, and we've been executing it well."
Especially over the last two games. The Chargers have given up just two touchdowns in their last nine red zone situations.
"We've got a good scheme and good players executing it," Chargers coach Norv Turner said. "That combination has allowed us to play well. We are continuing to grow in terms of how physical we are, so it's harder to run down there."
Another pregame dustup
There's no love lost between the Chargers and Broncos. There was a verbal skirmish before the week 6 matchup at Qualcomm Stadium and there was some trash talking again on Sunday afternoon.
The conflict started between Phillips and Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, who reportedly said "we own you" to Phillips during pregame warm-ups.
Phillips responded with some jawing of his own, and carried it on with some of Denver's linebackers. There was some shoving between linemen during the game, but it was otherwise a clean, yet physical, game.
Clary starts, doesn't finish
Right tackle Jeromey Clary took his place in the starting lineup on Sunday, which seemed unlikely after he missed a week of practice with a sprained right ankle. He played most of the game and did so effectively without a limp.
In the fourth quarter, however, the other ankle acted up in a big way. Clary aggravated his left ankle on third-and-goal from the 6-yard line and was carted off the field.

Parts of a Butterfly
A butterfly's body is divided into three main sections, the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. Each body section has very different functions, and all are needed for the butterfly to live.
All insects, including butterflies, share a common overall body design. Photo courtesy L. Shyamal.
A butterfly's head is full of extremely important organs that allow the butterfly to sense what is around it and to feed. On the head, you will find:
Top: a Silver-spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus). Bottom: a butterfly's proboscis seen through a scanning electron microscope.
- 2 Antennae (singular: Antenna)
Attached at the top of the head. Antennae are sensory organs used to pick up chemicals in the air, which may be anything from the smell of flowers to the scent of a potential mate. They also help with balance and in detecting motion. Think of them as the butterfly's version of a nose.
- 2 Compound Eyes
Unlike human eyes, which each have one lens, each of a butterfly's compound eyes is made up of many smaller "eyes" called ommatidia, which each have their own lens. The butterfly's brain stitches the information from all of these tiny eyes into a picture of the world around it. Butterflies likely don't see the crisp, clear images that we see as humans, but they make up for it in other ways! Since the ommatidia in their compound eyes are all pointed in slightly different directions, butterflies can see forwards, backwards, above and below themselves all at the same time. As well, butterfly eyes can see ultraviolet light, which humans cannot. This comes in handy, since some flowers and even other butterflies have special markings on them that can only be seen in ultraviolet light.
- 1 Proboscis
The proboscis is the butterfly's mouthpart. It is used like a straw to suck up liquids such as flower nectar, water, fruit juices, leaking tree sap, animal sweat, or other things depending on the species. When in use, the proboscis looks like a small wire coming out from under the front of the head. When not in use, it coils up tightly like a spring under the front of the head. Butterflies are only able to sip on liquids with their proboscis and are unable to pierce or break skin.
A butterfly's thorax is a powerhouse that has everything a butterfly needs to move and fly around it's environment. On the thorax, you will find:
Above:the thorax and leg parts of a Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides).
- 6 Legs
These are attached to the underside of the thorax. Each segmented leg has 5 sections, but the 3 that are easy to see are the femur, tibia, and tarsus. Think of the femur as the "thigh", the tibia as the "shin", and the tarsus as the "foot". A butterfly's legs have the same function as our own, helping them to climb and walk. However, did you know that a butterfly's foot also helps it to taste? Special sensors on each tarsus pick up chemicals from the surfaces they walk on, which helps the butterfly to sense tasty liquids or identify host plants for their caterpillars. This is one reason to avoid picking up butterflies when possible – the creams and chemicals we put on our hands can be hard on their feet!
Why do some butterflies look like they only have 4 legs? Some butterflies, including very common species like the Monarch, appear to have only 4 legs. This is not because they have lost two legs. These butterflies come from the family Nymphalidae, or the brush-footed butterflies. All brush-footed butterflies do have 6 legs, but the first pair of legs is very reduced, and are tucked against the thorax and hidden in the body's fuzz. You will only see these legs if you can carefully pry them away from the body with tweezers. These reduced legs have lost their function in this family of butterflies, and are not used for walking.
- 4 Wings
Although it may appear at first glance that butterflies only have two wings, if you have a closer look it becomes obvious that each side of the body has a forewing and a hindwing. The wings are covered with coloured scales, which are basically tiny flattened hairs that give colour to the wings.
Butterfly scales are so small that without a microscope they just look like coloured dust, and they are delicate enough that they will brush right off the wing if they are rubbed. Scales are unique to butterflies and moths, and they come in three varieties: pigmented, diffractive and androconia.
Pigmented scales get their colours from pigment chemicals they contain, which absorb some light and reflect the rest. Over time, pigment scales can fade, because eventually the pigment chemicals break down. This is why some butterflies fade when kept in collections that are exposed to light.
Diffractive scales get their colours by diffracting light, a similar effect to using a prism to split white light into a rainbow. Diffractive scales give off brilliant metallic and iridescent colours, and do not fade over time because they have no pigment chemicals to break down.
Androconia scales are scales that produce pheromones instead of colour. Pheromones are chemicals that butterflies release into the air to communicate with other butterflies of the same species, and are usually involved in helping butterflies find a mate.
A butterfly's wings are used for flight, but also have many other functions. Patterns on the wings can help camouflage the butterfly, warn predators that a butterfly is poisonous, surprise or distract predators with flashy displays, and help a butterfly attract and communicate with other butterflies of its species. In the case of poisonous butterflies like the Monarch, the wings are also an excellent place for storing toxins (though you would have to eat them to get sick).
A butterfly's abdomen may not look like much on the outside, but inside it holds vital organs that the butterfly needs to survive.
Above:the abdomen of a Clipper butterfly (Parthenos sylvia).
- Digestive Tract
Most of a butterfly's digestive tract is housed inside the abdomen. This is where the butterfly processes foods and wastes.
- Spiracles
These are tiny holes found along the sides of the abdomen that let air travel into tracheal tubes in the butterfly's respiratory system, allowing it to breathe. Unlike us, a butterfly's mouthparts are not involved in breathing! Although spiracles may also found on other parts of the body, most of them are located on the abdomen.
- Reproductive Organs
All of the important male and female organs involved in reproduction are found in the abdomen, located towards the tip. The abdomen is also where the eggs develop and remain until a female butterfly lays them.
It is worthwhile to note that there is no such thing as a stinging butterfly. Butterflies have no stinging organs or venom in their abdomens, or anywhere else in their bodies. So don't worry about having a butterfly land on you – they are completely harmless, and you should consider yourself lucky!

Microsoft puts end to Windows 98 support

Microsoft pushes out Windows patch ahead of timeJanuary 5, 2006
Putting Vista in the fast laneAugust 8, 2005
The slow road to Windows XPJune 14, 2005
Eight years after launching Windows 98, Microsoft is finally washing its hands of updating and plugging security gaps in the aging operating system.
The software giant originally planned to pull the plug in January 2004, but decided to extend support because of the increasing competition from Linux.
This time round, Microsoft is hoping that the remaining users of Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition will upgrade to Windows XP, according to Peter Watson, chief security advisor, Microsoft Australia.
"Microsoft works closely with leading retailers to undertake promotions such as upgrade discounts to encourage users to upgrade to Windows XP," Watson told ZDNet Australia.
Analyst firms estimate that there are still between 50 million and 70 million computers running Windows 95, 98 or ME.
Hardest hit by the cancellation of support will be home users and schools, according to Michael Silver, research vice president of client platforms at research group Gartner, who agrees that support has been extended to fight off the threat from Linux.
"Consumers and schools will be most affected by this announcement because they will no longer get security fixes," Silver told ZDNet Australia. "I suspect that Microsoft's original extension of the Windows 98 support date a couple of years ago was, in part, to make sure Linux was not brought in to replace these systems."
Silver believes that as far as the overall security landscape goes, the prospect of millions of unsupported PCs is a "cause for concern." In addition, he said Microsoft may be pressured into creating a fix if there is a serious virus outbreak.
"Microsoft has not fixed every hole in Win9x, but I'm not sure they've been attacked, either. If Microsoft sees a Win9x attack in the wild in the next few months, we would not be surprised if they issued a fix--wide-scale outages are not good for their customers or for Microsoft--but since there is no automatic update, users may not be able to get the fix in time," said Silver.
Silver believes that some users may decide to switch to Linux instead of upgrading to XP, but he said existing applications that require Windows are likely to stop a mass-migration.
"School PCs are likely more at risk. Win9x PCs used regularly on the Internet need up to date security software. Some of these users--companies, schools and governments--may switch to Linux or Mac, but application issues often makes that an expensive option," Silver said.
Dropping support justified
Microsoft's Watson said consumers have the choice to use any version of Windows and dismissed any suggestion that Microsoft has a responsibility to secure older versions of its software.
"This issue is not unique to the IT industry. For example, there are many people on the road who choose to drive the latest cars with the latest safety features, such as ABS brakes and air bags. But at the same time, there are many others who are happy driving their cars which may not have these features," he said.
"It is not the responsibility of automotive manufacturers to have their customers acquire the latest technology. This is the same issue for makers of mobile phones, washing machines, dishwashers, TVs, fridges, radios and so on," Watson said.
However, Watson said Microsoft would try to "encourage" users of Win9x systems to upgrade to XP.
"Microsoft encourages users to upgrade to Windows XP and provides information which helps educate users on the benefits of upgrading, but it is ultimately the customer's choice," he added.
Gartner's Silver said that although there are still millions of Windows 9x users, compared with alternative operating system vendors, Microsoft's support schedules are still "better than most."
"Most software vendors and hardware vendors are no longer developing Win9x drivers for their new products--and have not been for some time now. Further, most free Linux distributions are supported for a year, some for two. Microsoft has supported Win98 for eight years, 98SE for seven years, and Windows ME for six years," he said.
"These do not meet Microsoft's current enterprise standard of 10 years--they shipped before the 10-year policy--but they're better than most," Silver added.

- Several "critical" flaws remain unpatched in '98.
- The pull-quote has me baffled:
"If Microsoft sees a Win9x attack in the wild in the next few months, we would not be surprised if they issued a fix." --Michael Silver, research vp of client platforms, Gartner
Is this guy joking? Several major security flaws are outstanding in Windows 98 and Microsoft has not bothered to patch them (despite only -now- not "supporting" '98) because it would take "too much effort". Michael obviousally has never heard of this.

- So what?
- Windows 98 is a dinosaur. Sure, some people keep it around because they have legacy apps that require it but they should NOT be connected to a corporate network let alone the Internet.
If you are still running that OS and connect your computer to the Internet, you deserve every attack you get hammered by.

- "Silver believes that some users may decide to switch to Linux instead of upgrading to XP".
That's exactly what I did. I had an older laptop with Win98SE on it and I just converted it to Ubuntu Linux. It was easy to install and it's very user friendly. It takes a little time to get to get to know Linux, but I can deal with that, especially for the price (FREE!).
I'd rather go Linux or OS X than XP. I don't care what flavor of Windows it is, there's way too many flaws in it. I have another laptop with XP and it gives me nothing but grief, no matter how many times I update it with fixes and patches. I'm looking forward to the day when I can get a Mac to replace it, then I'll be completely Windows free! Free at last!

- One thing said wrong:
- "Silver believes that some users may decide to switch to Linux instead of upgrading to XP, but he said existing applications that require Windows are likely to stop a mass-migration."
-err, if it'll run on Windows 98, odds are very good that WINE, Crossover Office, or Transgaming's plugins for Linux will run the thing.
Or, if all else fails, Win4Lin on Linux (www.win4lin.com) running an instance of Win98 in it will certainly operate the program, but at the same time keep the machine a lot more secure than a windows-only install would.
If someone is still running Win98 nowadays, it's because 1) their current package OEM computer fulfills their needs, runs just fine, and doesn't require a new computer purchase (makes perfect sense IMHO), or 2) there's something about the newer versions of Windows that they simply do not like (bloat, too resource-intensive, etc)
Microsoft isn't going to be able to do much to capture either crowd...

- Windows 98 on my machine was terminated in 2001 after I upgraded then to Windows 2000. Win98 came with my old Dell PIII 850 with 128MB of Ram. When I noticed too many BSOD and problems with stability I gave it up and never looked back.
Win98 had its day but now it's over. Move on. If your business still runs on 98, move on.

- XP on Celeron 400 and 433= GO TO XP !
- Because I did not need the PCs that I got as surplus I actually reformatted and installed XP Pro SP2 on a DELL Optiplex G1 Celeron 400 with 320 MB SDRAM and an HP Brio BA-200 Celeron 433 with 160 MB SDRAM. Both have original 5400 (DELL) and 7200 (HP) rpm hard drives... I added the SDRAM scavenged from even older PCs..
Both are online wirelessly for web surfing with free Avast Home 4.7 and AdAware 1.06.
The HP has Front Page and I update webs with it wirelessly using 768bps DSL hooked to a 802.11g wireless router.
DELL support site says XP will not run on that Optiplex, maybe HP says the same: I have not cared to waste an hour to look.
Conclusion: buy more memory, save your files, get your program install CDs, get Windows XP, reformat and install it. Maybe buy some more memory. No need for 512 MB to a 1GB of RAM; these old PCs won't support much anyway.

- Stay away from XP, far far away. Micro$loth is thrashing about in
the tar pits, ready to become extinct. Run away and find
something that actually works.
Then you can actually *enjoy* your computer, instead of working
for it. Besides, XP will become a dinosaur soon as well and you'll
be forced into the lumbering cow (Longhorn - sorry, it's now
Vista). Yes, they will be able to force you, since they slip their
killswitch onto your machine as a critical update (they call it
WGA, or Windows Genuine Advantage; although they should
have called it WGD, or Winblows Genuine Disadvantage) ...

- Would that be licensed XP?
- If that's licensed XP (pirated software is illegal and more difficult to use because of WGA), do you realize that it would cost more than a Celeron 433 Mhz is worth? Are you talking about the discounted OEM? That doesn't sound practical because it expires when that old computer expires. Or do you mean the 3x the price standard retail box? You'll be able to migrate that to newer boxes later on, but heck, that costs much more than that old box is worth.
Institutions like schools and many business already have these licenses for 98SE and they run the software they need (an Office suite, openoffice.org perhaps?) and a browser.
Finding the money for legal upgrades to XP is going to be the problem, so you can expect that a big chunk of these users will stay with the OS that they have licenses for.
In the meantime, even if Microsoft drops support for these older OS, there will be white hats who will make the patches. And for many of the 98 installations, not having the latest patches is not an issue if the machines are not internet connected (e.g. a school typing lab, or clerical staff at the office).

- I'm still gonna use Win9X
- I work in a small business that has mostly Windows 98SE and ME machines. People keep saying to upgrade to XP, but XP doesn't run very well if the PC has 64MB of RAM and a Pentium 2 processor. Also, some of you keep forgetting that a lot of people can not afford to do both a hardware and or a software upgrade. As a computer tech, I've loaded every possible defense on all of the company's computers (Spybot, AVG, all Windows Updates, Norton Internet Security Firewall, etc) because a lot if internet research is done. Since I've been working here, I have seen no successful attacks of any kind. For the Win9X users out there, if u can't do the upgrade, make sure u protect your system.

- An idea for Microsoft
- They should put the 2000 Professional Upgrade on the market and make it cheaper than XP Home. That way, people with old machines can upgrade to something a bit more secure and affordable and Microsoft will get what they are after....the money. Its better than leaving millions of people with PC's open to attack and it'll bring in a lil extra pocket money to Microsoft. Everybody's happy.

- It had to happen sometime.
- To those who think this stinks, I have to ask, just how long should a company offer support for it's products? 8 years is quite a long time. It's well past the warranty period for anything of any kind that you can purchase (computers, televisions, automobiles, microwave ovens and on and on).
Windows 98 is horrendously out of date. If you can't afford to upgrade, then I'd suggest staying with it and taking the risk.
Besides, most security holes in operating systems aer overblown anyway. You'd have to go to a lot of trouble to have most of them affect you, the ordinary user.
The other option is switching to Linux. Many Linux distributions will run quite well on a PC designed for Windows 98/ME.
Linux does have a learning curve and it's not quite as simple to use as Windows, but there is all kinds of free online support via web forums and mailing lists. I use both Windows XP and Linux myself.
But just like Windows, Linux distributions are only supported for so long. In fact, most are supported for 2 years or less.
But in that case you easily upgrade to a new distribution (at no cost) with any number of free (as in no cost) distributions.
Popular no-cost distributions include (but are not limited to) Fedora Core, OpenSUSE, SUSE*, Mandriva, Debian and Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu**.
I'd recommend using the XFCE desktop (GUI) with any of these distributions if you have an older computer. It runs much faster than the more popular KDE and GNOME desktops. You can install XFCE on any of these quite easily (just check any of the forums or mailing lists for any of the above distributions for details.
If any of this is greek to you, use your favorite Internet Search engine and you'll find lots of help on the web.
If Linux is too intimidating for you, than your best bet it to bite the bullet and get a new computer. The cheapest most inexpensive computers nowadays will be *vastly* superior to any computer that came with Windows 98/ME installed and can be had for as little as $350.00 (I'd recommend spending at at least $500.00).
I just found a (CNET rated "Very Good") PC for just under $500.00 that has a 2.2 GHz CPU, 1 GB of PC3200 SDRAM, on-board ATI Radeon Xpress Video,a 7200 RPM 200 GB Hard Drive and a Dual Layer DVD±R/RW drive.
That computer (which is quite a bargain) makes any PC designed for Windows 98 look like a Dinosaur (and them some).
*These distributions offer both no-cost and commercial (you have to buy it just like you have to pay for Windows) versions. The no-cost versions are usually released a bit later than the commercial versions (but do include security updates) and are downlodable just like the non-commercial distributions.
**Xubuntu is based on and supported by Ubuntu. It's default desktop is thee faster XFCE (as mentioned above) which makes starting off with XFCE quite easy. Kubuntu features the KDE desktop and Ubuntu itself features GNOME. As previously mentioned, KDE and GNOME run slower than XFCE and it's particularly noticeable on older computers.

5-1 Louisville after five innings.

Janish: 1-for-2 double, 2 RBI
Thompson: 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K
I miss Adam Dunn.
The DSL Reds won 9-6.
Juan Duran went 0-for-3 with two walks and his 7th stolen base. He's in a 0-for-15 slump but is still drawing a great amount of walks for a 16-year old.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Danny Dorn throws out a runner at home to end the top of the 6th inning. Lookouts still trailing 2-0.
Daryl Thompson - 6ip, 6h, 2bb, 2K, 1ER. 5-1 Louisville lead.
That should be Thompson's final line as he's over 100 pitches.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Billings is about to get underway.
Alex Buchholz enters tonights game with a .362/.464/.511 - .975 OPS.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Billings went down 1-2-3 in the first on what sounded like 2 very good plays on Buchholz and Means.
Thompson has thrown 109 pitches through six innings but hit for himself in the top of the 7th. Surely they won't bring him back out for the 7th.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Tom Gordon's son is batting leadoff for Ogden tonight against the Mustangs.
Herrera in for Thompson.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Dickerson to Cinti, Henry to Louisville, Patterson and Valentin DFA. Time to get it done, Walt.
Cumberland was pulled early...

I wonder if that's related to the Stubbs promotion
The lowest acceptable payroll amount for ownership to show they are not greedy pigs is 15 million more than they are currently paying. No matter what that currently is.

T-Mobile Will Have iPhone 5 Nano-SIMs From Mid-October
Looks like T-Mobile's serious about getting you to come to their network with your unlocked iPhone 5, even if they still don't have a deal in place to sell them directly. What you see here is that T-Mobile is already ordering nano-SIMs, and you'll be able to slap them into an unlocked iPhone 5 starting in mid-October. You won't get LTE, of course, but if that doesn't matter to you, you might save a few bucks.

This option produces, not the consensus sequence itself, but an encoding of the "quality" of the data used to create it. The categories of data and the codes produced are shown in the table. For example 'c' means bad data on one strand is aligned with good data on the other. Contigs can be selected from a file of file names or a list. Output is in staden format.
The contigs for which to calculate a consensus can be a particular "single" contig, "all contigs", or a subset of contigs whose names are stored in a "file" or a "list". If a file or list is selected the browse button will be activated and if it is clicked an appropriate browser will be invoked. If the user selects "single" then the dialogue for choosing the contig and the section to process becomes active.

Kourtney Kardashian Thinks She Knows the Sex of Her Second Baby
By now, everybody knows Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her second child with on-again-off-again beau, Scott Disick, but there's one thing nobody knows: the sex of the baby!
Sporting a cute black dress, Kourt looked anything but preggo when People caught up with her at the reality family's recently launched Kardashian Khaos boutique in Vegas. But the barely-showing beauty revealed a few deets about her very real pregnancy, including that she doesn't know the baby's gender – yet. Apparently it's still too soon to tell.
As for whether Kourt will know the baby's sex by the time her due date rolls around in spring 2012, the Kourtney and Kim Take New York star told the mag, "I think so."
Think so? Ugh. The suspense is killing us!

Network Rail hopes its proposed £15 million Forth Bridge Experience would make it one of Scotland's major tourist attractions.
It proposes building a visitor centre on the North Queensferry side connected by step-free ramp to two lifts which would whisk visitors to the top of the bridge. The visitor centre would also offer education and exhibition facilities, catering, Forth Bridge-themed retail and a special function venue.
Plans for the South Queensferry side are a visitor reception centre which would be the starting point for guided bridge walks. The route would pass along the south approach viaduct on a path underneath the track, followed by a climb to the top of the southern Queensferry tower using a walkway.
Network Rail is inviting the public to give their views on an artist's impressions of the proposals. David Dickson, Network Rail acting route managing director for Scotland, said: "We're keen to hear from as many people as possible, whether you're excited about visiting the bridge or completely petrified by the prospect."
The reception centre on the South Queensferry side would be a short walk from Dalmeny station. More information can be found at www.forthbridgeexperience.com.

text: Silo garages are cylindrical garages with a single, centrally positioned mechanism used to park and retrieve vehicles. The central mechanism moves vertically and rotates simultaneously allowing the vehicle platform to move to and from one car parking spot to another very quickly. Typically silo garages are installed underground, and are most suitable where soil conditions are particularly unfavorable, but can also be installed above ground. Single or multiple parking modules are possible with silo garages but typically only one vehicle can be parked or retrieved at one time.

My Top 3 Summer Cape Winelands Spots
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
There is something about sipping a chilled glass of premium white wine on a bright, sunny day, surrounded by acres and acres of gorgeous greenery that simply screams summer in the Cape Winelands.
With our rich and tasty viticultural history and endlessly beautiful estates, it's quite difficult to choose my favourites but here are my top three Summer Winelands spots:
Cascade Country Manor
Romantic doesn't even begin to describe this Paarl gem, which boasts an on-site natural cascading waterfall, unparalleled views of the olive groves at the base of the Klein Drakenstein Mountains and 15 luxury rooms, including a honeymoon suite , complete with a ceiling mirror and other sensual aides.
Often used as a wedding venue, the Manor is owned by Volker and Maika Goetze who were married on the grounds themselves. In addition to producing their own olive oil (which is also used in their luxurious Spa treatments), this boutique hotel offer a range of outdoor activities, including hiking and mountain bike trails, short drives to nearby historical sites like the Nelson Mandela statue at Groot Drakenstein Prison.
Top tip: When booking your spa treatment, request it for outside, alongside the waterfall, for an all-natural experience!
Location: Cascade Country Manor, Paarl

Beau Constantia
Conveniently situated along the City Sightseeing Bus 'Wine Route so that you can drink and have fun responsibly, this beautiful winery in Constantia truly lives up to its name with breathtakingly vistas and outstanding wines.
If you're popping by, do try their canapés and wine tasting special. For just R 135, you can savour a variety of delicious themed canapés and five of their superb wines in their amazing tasting room, perched just above the spectacular vineyard.
Did you know? Beau Constantia produces two premium red blends, each hand-crafted to its own unique style by winemaker, Justin van Wyk and named for family members, Lucca and Aidan.

Delaire Graff Estate
This Stellenbosch winery is just one of the decadent stops along the newly launched Foodroutes, South Africa's first premier online portal for foodies, but definitely my favourite.
Whether you are enjoying a lavishly prepared meal at their restaurants, milling about and admiring the contemporary collection of South African art and sculptures, staying the night in one of their luxurious rooms or simply admiring the amazing views from the terrace, Delaire is worth the drive.
Fun fact: You can book and plan your unique foodie experience and itinerary via Foodroutes.

The Beatles have often been accused of stuffing drug references into their lyrics. Now, Russia's chief expert in drug abuse has announced he is holding the Fab Four responsible for promoting drugs across the world back in the 1960s.
"After The Beatles had gone to expand their conscious in Indian ashrams they succeeded in implementing this idea – to change one's mental state with drugs – into people's minds," Evgeny Bryun told Interfax news agency.
Among The Beatles' songs allegedly containing possible drug allusions is "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" written by John Lennon and recorded in 1967. Some maintain, the very title of the song could be a reference to the drug LSD, due to the initials taken from the song's title.
"Doctor Robert", co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is allegedly awash with drug references. One of the most striking and obvious being that drug dealers are often called "doctors."
Some claimed that "Happiness is a Warm Gun" – another hit written by John Lennon – was a metaphor for a syringe loaded with heroin. "I need a fix, 'cuz I'm going down / Down to the bits I left uptown."

Welcome to Michigan Lakes!
We are all about Michigan lakes. Life on, in and near Michigan's lakefront brings a richness that rewards for a lifetime. Have a story or comments on your experience? You can be one of the first to share it with the world on our Michigan lake directory.
Images of Grand Mere
All along the west coast of Lower Michigan, from its southern shores to its windy northern points, a vast tract of sandy beaches and dunes has created a landscape like no other—austere, often otherworldly, always beautiful. Swimmers, sun worshipers, and kite fliers use much of it to good advantage, crowding the state parks along Lake Michigan in the summertime, and pricey homes stand like sentinels along many miles of wooded dune tops.
But there are also places where you can go and find plenty of peace and quiet. Grand Mere State Park by Stevensville, Michigan, is such a place. Go there and you can find enough people to keep you from feeling totally isolated, but also enough space to find all the solitude you could hope for if you want it. Located off of I-94, eight miles south of Benton Harbor at exit 22, the 985-acre park includes a lovely little picnic area and playground situated on the southern side of North Lake. Farther south, a half-mile-long nature trail winds through the woods along South Lake toward a long stretch of open sand dunes and, ultimately, to the beach.

Dream Engineering
by Alison Bick of Short Hills NJThird Place (grades 7-9)
I woke up with a start. Running full speed to my computer, I turned it on impatiently and began to type. The thought that had disturbed my sleep had come to my mind at last. This of course was the "Engineering: improving our world essay." For weeks, I had researched engineering starting with the past and learned that all Seven Wonders of the World existed because of engineers. I researched what engineers did today and found they affect everything from the food I eat, to the plane I took to visit my grandma in Pittsburgh and from the computer I type on; to the ball I kick at soccer practice. All of my research was interesting, but it had all been written about too many times. Last night it came to me, like Archimedes, an engineer of ancient Greece, Eureka! I dreamed what to write. I decided to write about dream engineering, my term for engineering in the future.
This past night, I dreamt of eating some cheerios with milk. As I sat there, eating my cereal an ad popped up for Tropicana Orange Juice.
"Egads!" I had exclaimed, "How did they do that?"
Lo and behold standing next to me were three men in lab coats, who turned out to be engineers. The first man stepped forward and said," I am a packaging engineer. I made the box that not only keeps your cereal fresh it also contains a transceiver that communicates with the pieces of cereal to make the ad pop up. The next man stepped forward. He told me, "I'm a food engineer and I designed machinery that inserts biodegradable transceivers in each piece of cereal so the ad popped up."
"I am a communication engineer," the last man explained, "I got the advertisement to the cereal box by managing the data flow from the advertiser's internet site to the box."
I was about to ask, "What schools teach this advanced information?" when my dream was interrupted by a commercial for an iPod. It was extraordinary.
I said to myself, "How could anyone stop my dream like that with a commercial?"
Just as the last word tumbled out of my mouth, three white coat men stood before me again. One of them, the communication engineer, I recognized but the other two I did not.
The communication engineer from my last dream segment stepped forward, "You must remember me from before," he boomed.
"Yes of course I remember. you are the communication engineer," I said.
"Yep. Well I organized the data so it would flow to a transceiver in your brain so the dream would have an advertisement."
The next two engineers stepped forward together. "I am a bio chemical engineer and this is my friend who is an electrical engineer," the man closer to me said.
"What we did was we teamed up to make a transmitter that accepts the data from the communication engineer. The biochemical engineer," the electrical engineer told me, "made a transmitter that would not harm the human body. I made the electrical current flow smoothly through the brain not harming the brain cells. So that is how we made the ad pop up."
From these three engineers I began to ask, "How does the electrical current flow in to you brain without harming the person?" but like all good dreams I woke up right before I could ask.
Here I am now, typing and trying to save my thoughts. Maybe my dreams were not just thoughts. Maybe in my dreams I did see a glimpse of the future. I hope that I will see in a few years if my dream becomes a reality or maybe I will become an engineer and make these small thoughts reality.

Liverpool 1-2 Barnsley, 2008
Barnsley recorded a famous victory at Anfield thanks to a last-gasp winner from skipper Brian Howard.
The victory was even more impressive given that the Tykes came from a goal behind.
Dirk Kuyt had given the Reds the lead, before Stephen Foster headed level.
Liverpool pushed and pushed for a late winner, but the final chance fell for Howard who fired into the bottom corner, sending the visiting fans into raptures.

iMAME4all gets experimental support for iCade [Jailbreak]
iMAME4all is a Jailbreak app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that emulates arcade games supported by the original MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) version 0.37b5. In simple terms, it allows you to play over 2000 retro arcade games on your iOS device, as long as you can find the ROM's of the games.
As of today, you can download version 1.7 of iMAME4all that will enable iMAME4all to work with the iCade cabinet. That's right, you can now use that expensive iCade cabinet you bought for some real old school retro arcade fun! The best way to use the two is in full screen portrait mode.
This is an awesome way to enjoy MAME and if you are a real old school arcade lover, it's simply a superb combination. The latest version has not filtered through to the Cydia store as of yet. If you can't wait, there is a DEB file which you can manually install. I just wish I could get my hands on an iCade in the UK for a reasonable price!

iMAME4all gets experimental support for iCade [Jailbreak]
I have installed the 1.6 experimental beta 2 with iCade support, but the sound is ugly. I hope the 1.7 sound is much better. But it's a great fun to play the old arcade games on my iCade/iPad! ;-)
1.7.1 is out now but here's a video of it in action using 1.7.0

The beginning segment, at the school et cetera, was the closest that Star Trek has gotten to "Ender's Game." While this novel isn't that good, that was the general feeling I got as I was reading it. The characterisations were consistent and superb throughout the novel, and to differentiate between the different plotlines, the author simply uses different fonts. It was a neat effect.
It is clear when reading this book that Robinson is a fledgling author. While the vocabulary is okay, the sentence structure is somewhat elementary, but this doesn't really hurt the novel, because it is a lot better than some of the drivel we've seen before when it comes to ST books.
This book is written in a series of first-person entries into Garak's journal, which he has arranged into an interesting order and is sending to Dr. Bashir. Although the premise and writing are clear, the presentation was a little dissapointing. These didn't feel like journal entries; I can't picture anyone writing a journal looking like that.
Still it was an interesting, sometimes thought-provoking, and always fascinating view of life through Garak's eyes. Kudos to the author for a job well done!
The book basically follows three timelines: One starts in Garak's youth, just before he goes off to join an academy, and progresses to about the middle of "Emissary". A second starts just before "Tears of the Prophets" and continues to near the end of "What You Leave Behind". The third goes from shortly after Garak's arrival on Cardassia after WYLB and shows important events in the rebuilding of the planet.
This is a wonderful novel, and it is a tribute to Andrew J. Robinson's knowledge of his character, and the others in the series, that he was able to create this story without a ghostwriter or co-writer.
I recognized the character Garak, the Cardassian "taylor" of Deep Space Nine, from the title of the novel as much as from the cover art depicting him in a pensive mood holding an Edosian Orchid. So far as I was aware when I picked the book up, I had never heard of Andrew J. Robinson, though in fact I had... more about the author later.
A Stitch in Time is set up as a sort of Barbourian diary, if you will. It begins in the present with a letter to Garak's friend, Dr. Bashir, sojourns alternately between two different points of Garak's "fateline", each progressing generally forward. Time and all its permutations is very much woven into the fabric of the book. I suspect that the title, having its base in reference to a popular saying related to tayloring, ("a stitch in time saves nine", for those who somehow missed this lesson at Gramma's knee), is also a metaphor for a short span of time... or perhaps Garak's life.
During the time that the television series was still in production, Garak's past, and indeed present, were somewhat of a mystery. This novel fills in the gaps of his earlier life and gives a vivid picture of what life in a militaristic society must be like. Reading this, I was very much reminded of George Orwell's 1984, though it ends on an upnote rather than the despair of the future that permeates Orwell's novel and the outlook of his character Winston, though I suspect that if Winston were a Cardassian... well, I digress.
The tone of the novel is somewhat somber, and one can easily envision "plain and simple Garak" at his keyboard in a ruined Cardassian city amid pots and sherds with orchids, sewing machines, thread, fabric, and such littered around him as he puts the final touches on his narrative and the cover letter to Dr. Bashir he is sending along with it.
I found much to reflect on in this story.
A Stitch in Time is currently available as an ebook or in paperback, #27 in the Star Trek Deep Space Nine series. Buy this book. It is the best Star Trek novel I have ever read, though, My Enemy, My Ally is a close second.
Oh.... the author? Andrew J. Robinson? He is the actor who so brilliantly potrayed Garak on the television series where he was introduced.
Very, very well done, Sir!

The summer break seemed shorter and anything but routine around the Old Dominion athletic department, where everyone prepared for the most significant change in 40 years.
Old Dominion's move to Conference USA is the most substantial since athletics jumped from Division II to Division I in the mid-1970s. Now, as then, there is as much apprehension as anticipation.
"It's exciting, it's nerve-wracking, it's invigorating, it's fun," athletic director Wood Selig said.
- Improved Heinicke leads ODU offense into new territory
- ODU's need, desire for new football stadium not surprising
- ODU and women's basketball coach Karen Barefoot agree to new deal
- College Sports
- Basketball

Old Dominion University, 5115 Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, VA 23529, USA
ODU's move was official July 1 and the school had 15 months to prepare following the May 2012 announcement that the school had accepted an invitation to Conference USA. But as the 2013-14 school year commences, the realities of the move are increasingly apparent.
Travel and the accompanying costs ratchet up for a league that stretches from southeastern Virginia to south Florida and west to Texas, a far cry from ODU's previous home in the relatively tight Colonial Athletic Association.
C-USA also represents a competitive step up almost across the board, compared to the CAA. Selig said that the move to Conference USA essentially amounts to a job promotion for nearly all of ODU's coaches, without moving a muscle.
"For me, fear of failure is a great motivator," Selig said. "We're going off into the great unknown, in the level of competitiveness in Conference USA. Our goal is to put all of our 18 sports in position to win conference championships. I'm very curious to know how we're going to slot in, in terms of our place within the conference."
Football certainly is a step up, to the Football Bowl Subdivision from the Championship Subdivision. Conference USA men's and women's basketball are rated higher than their CAA counterparts, though the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) might be a more flawed gauge than usual because of the departure of the league's marquee men's program, Memphis, and membership changes.
Men's soccer and baseball are often rated among the top five leagues in the nation.
"We're very much a flagship sport in Conference USA and we're treated that way," men's soccer coach Alan Dawson said. "It's all about venues. It's all about playing on good fields and in good weather. Hopefully, what comes with that is good soccer."
Because Conference USA doesn't sponsor all of the sports that ODU fields, several of the programs sought affiliate membership in other leagues. Wrestling and the Monarchs' historically successful and top-shelf field hockey program made out well, with field hockey joining the Big East and wrestling now in the Mid-American Conference.
Field hockey plays a nationally-challenging schedule anyway, but the Big East gets the Lady Monarchs into the talent-rich Philadelphia area and throughout the northeast.
"It's probably the best thing that ever happened to the program," wrestling coach Steve Martin said of the move.
The Mid-American already has a handful of nationally-ranked programs, including affiliate members Missouri (the Southeastern Conference doesn't sponsor wrestling) and Northern Iowa. The MAC sent 40 wrestlers to the NCAA championships last spring — 30 automatic qualifiers and 10 at-large invitations — while the CAA sent 21.
"You're not going to qualify nine or 10 guys to the national meet," Martin said, "but the guys that get in are going to be higher seeds and have a better chance to get to the podium (and qualify as All-Americans.)"
As members of the MAC, the Monarchs will be a regular presence in wrestling hotbeds such as Michigan, Iowa and Ohio, which helps scheduling as well as recruiting.
Indeed, the flip side of the increased travel for ODU's teams is broader exposure for the school and an expanded recruiting footprint. Florida and Texas have beaucoup athletes in many sports, and the fact that the Monarchs will compete in those states, and all over the south, should open doors.
"From that standpoint, it helps us elevate the program," baseball coach Chris Finwood said. "If you look at our recruiting the last couple years, we've gotten kids from Hawaii, California, Arizona — places where the sun shines a lot. This move gets us into a lot of warm-weather places."
Travel costs jump significantly — Selig said they aren't likely to know just how much probably until after the first of the year — and there are some challenging road trips.
Women's soccer, for example, has a Friday-Sunday road trip in September, to West Virginia (Marshall) and then Miami (Florida International). An October trip has a Friday game at Rice and a Sunday game at Southern Miss.

Are you better off today then you were four years ago? Bloomberg is! He personal wealth has increased while he has been in office.
Talk about BS!! This guy has gotta go! Bloomberg is out of touch. What has he been doing during his last two terms? Now he wants a third term to do what - raise taxes - decrease services and don't even get started with the school system. He has increased the graduation rate by lowering the standard. Passing is 55% and of that you get 15% just for showing up!
Staten Islanders DON'T PUT BLOOMBERG BACK IN OFFICE. We hold the key to his re-election. Don't vote for Bloomberg.

For those of you for whom the theory of a single gun-nut drunk on white power shooting up a Sikh temple because he thought they were Muslims sounds like some kind of meth-addled crazy talk, here are some alternate explanations courtesy of Alex Jones eminently reasonable Info-Wars blog.
First, the official info-wars report:
UPDATE: A separate source has corroborated the other eyewitness claim – a family member whose parents were victims of the shooting said his parents told him there were "multiple shooters" involved in a "coordinated" attack.
An eyewitness to the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin says that a team of four men dressed in black carried out the massacre, contradicting the official narrative that a lone gunman was the culprit.
Just like the 'Batman' massacre, after which eyewitnesses clearly stated that James Holmes had an accomplice, today's tragedy in Oak Creek is already throwing up questions that may suggest a wider plot.
Speaking with the Associated Press, an eyewitness stated, "Between ten and ten-thirty, four white males who were dressed darkly, dressed in all black clothing, came in and opened fire on our congregation."
With the federal government already labeling the shootings a "domestic terror incident," the narrative is already being manufactured to blame the tragedy on conservatives and libertarians, as well as demonizing the second amendment.
President Barack Obama is already positioning himself to politically exploit the incident. Top Democratic strategists have previously welcomed the prospect of domestic terror incidents as a means of boosting Obama's poll numbers and helping him re-connect with the American people.
The "filthy homosexual luciferian mafia scum" theory:
As I stated in a previous comment on another subject – all related in the grand scheme of things. 350,000 Russian troops here training with US military, and ready to rock and roll in the slaughter/round up of US citizens and gun confiscation. These shooters in Aurora, CO and here at the Temple are Russian Spetznaz troops being directed and armed by soetoro and his handlers via the cia and military black ops. Look for much more death and mayhem to occur by the hands of the enemy that be, while being blamed on so called "White Crazies". These filthy homosexual luciferian mafia scum will stop at nothing to destory our freedoms, liberties and our Constitutional Republic. Get ready to defend yourselves and your families at all cost folks – the LineInTheSand is being drawn…
Praise God Almighty through the Blood of Christ Jesus!
The UFO & Exxon theory:
The first witness is Amardeep Kaleka an EMMY award winning director. His father was shot. He is currently working on a documentary called 'Sirius' with Dr. Greer which aims to expose a lot of the secrecy surrounding the UFO subject. It will also expose the suppression of technologies that would eliminate the need for fossil fuels.
Could you elaborate on that? Oh, here we go:
Also, Armadeep Kaleka is also a filmmaker that is currently working on a project called "Sirius". The film is about the government suppressing knowledge of technology that could liberate the world from dependency on oil and nuclear power. And, replacing that with clean, sustainable, free energy that would threaten industrial and financial institutions. The work of Tesla is examined and why the FBI seized his research, as well as many other scientists that claim to have knowledge of technology that is being kept from the world to line the pockets of world banks. Again, perhaps not conspiratorial, but very interesting.
The Race War theory:
U.S. government is so corrupt they are now working on having as many people as possible be against each other. Trayvon Martin did not work for a race riot, but that was orchestrated to. Fast and Furious for all to be against Mexicans, but that back fired and discovered to be a ploy to grab the guns from citizens. Colorado shooting in a predominently black neighborhood is now discovered to be staged. Why not have shooting people go into a holy temple and start shooting to instigate that kind of uprising? Think for yourself instead of going along with what one person says.
The Illuminati did it:
This year in AMERICA the presidental elections big topic is going to be "Gun Control"
I heard this with my own ears in France on the radio, after the batman theatre shooting!
Among the many cards of Illuminati card game "called Illuminati New world order" created by steven Jackson at late 80?s ,launched at mid 90?s , there is a card called "GUN CONTROL". Interesting.
Wait! No! It was CIA Manchurian Ultra Zombies:
You can count on this being a staged shooting.
We all predicted that there will be more and more of these CIA brainwashed MK ultra zombies used to attack innocents with firearms and blame it on all gun owners, our second amendment rights, all conservatives, patriots, constitutionalists and libertarians so they can enact total gun bans and arrest and interm all of us who will stand in the way of their new world order communist overthrow of our country.
Off topic, but this just in: the Mars Curiosity rover is just as fake as the moon landing:
NASA/JPL LANDS ROVER ON MARS, IMAGES FOLLOW, ROVER IN MOTION, STAY TUNED FOR MORE DISCLOSURE. Live feed below:
Big f'ing deal.
Our government has probably lied to us about this BS as much they have most of everything else throughout history.
No man has ever set a damned foot on the moon either. It's all a lie by our government.
The Van Allen radiation belts around the Earth kill everything that gets near them.
There isn't any possible man made structure that can ever be made to proect any living creature that will withstand the lethal mega-dose of radiation from the Van Allen belts.
Do a google search on it or watch a movie called "When Astronauts Attack".
Okay. Back to reality…. like the Super Satanic Soldiers of The Black Awakening:
It's called the Black Awakening, like the Pentacost for the devil
Even if you disagree with Christianity and/or it offends you, I sincerly wish that Patriots would educate themselves on this concept from Mr. Dizdar who has spent decades in the trenches of this bowel of the NWO. It is what 'they' the 'trained super soldiers' are saying…..getting over Dizdar's faith and listen to what these people believe, think and are planning for. It will affect you regardless of what you believe. They do.Watchman76 says:August 5, 2012 at 11:44 pm
As a Christian I am well aware of the spiritual battle taking place and how late the hour is. Thanks for the link, I had no idea there were over 4 million sleepers! My discernment tells me that Mr. Dizdar is the real deal. I can't believe I've never come across any of his videos in the past. Thanks again!
And, finally, you liberals are somehow responsible:
Infowars- can you show any proof whatsoever that "Obama has staged shootings"? Not from conspiracy writers, not from Infowars conjecture, but actual investigative journalists?
If not, then you should retract this headlinePhoenix30 says:August 5, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Can you prove it wasn't? Witnesses are reporting up to four shooters. No live news from the scene was allowed. Witnesses were asked to stay off their phones. Why? Who benefits?
Also the headline was a question. Assumptions can be wrong, even supposed facts can be wrong. But a question can not be wrong because its not a statement but a query. The reasons these questions come up is because we know the media lies, and we know for sure the government lies. That's a fact. Even the lamestream media has said that. Yet at the same time the media says to believe everything the government says. But they lie too.
Oh and liberals? Liberal translates to me "Immoral". Period. Liberals are not patriots. Liberals are immoral, sarcastic, prideful scum. I HATE liberals. Absolutely hate them. I think I agree with about 1% of what they go on about. Otherwise they are 99% idiotic. Tired of the damn liberals, who are the shame of the United States.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
All that money wasted on sending you to the Manchurian Illuminati Zombie Super Luciferian Soldier summer camps and this is the thanks we get?
Very disappointing.

Is there anything better than the thrill of a theme park? The rides making your stomach do somersaults. The haunted house making you jump into the arms of a loved one. The food and drink threatening to return as you race from attraction to attraction.
The adrenaline rush, laughter and general pleasure we receive from what is essentially a lesson in what not to do to your body, may well be against every fibre and natural urge in our being, but that's the fun right?
So this Easter, when you've got the kids running around with energy to burn, why not try one of the country's biggest and best theme parks for a few days and stay in one of our comfortable and affordable hotels? With that in mind, here are three very good reasons why Alton Towers is the ideal destination this school holidays.
1. The rides
Where else would we start but the rides? The reason everyone goes to Alton Towers is for the speed, the height and the sheer scale of their rides This Easter is no different.
Don't be fooled, The Smiler is no walk in the park but in fact the world's first 14 loop roller-coaster (with some smiles thrown in of course!) Expect phases such as The Inoculater, The Tickler and The Giggler to get you holding on to the edge of your seat and laughing all the way.
And that's not it either, you've also got the spooky TH13TEEN, the mind-blowing Air and Rita Queen of Speed to name but a few!
2. There's something for everyone
It's not all about heart in the mouth action, there really is something for everyone at Alton Towers this Easter. Try and keep dry on the Congo River Rapids, shiver your timbers in the park's pirate-themed aquarium known as Sharkbait Reef and for the little ones, there's CBeebies land, featuring Justin's House Pie-O-Matic Factory and Mr Bloom's Allotments.
3. See it all at your leisure
Rather than racing around trying to cram everything in to one day, why not take some time out this Easter and get a great night's sleep with our comfy king-size beds, with four fluffy pillows and a cosy duvet. You'll wake up feeling fresh and ready to go. See our hotels near Alton Towers
Then, whether there are queues for that one ride you really wanted to go on, the great British weather has its way and you don't fancy wearing one of those ponchos, or you just want to turn your trip into a nice bit of quality family time, you can do all of the above, as and when suits it you and your loved ones.

So Glee season 1 has gone bye-bye, but not before producer Brad Falchuk, Jane Lynch and executive producer Dante Di Loreto handed out some behind-the-script juice. Apparently the Will/Emma kiss wasn't scripted(!!!). Falchuk, who directed the episode spilled, " I didn't tell Jayma [Mays] it was coming. We shot all of Matt's [Morrison] coverage first, and a master, and then when we got to her coverage, I pulled him aside and told him to kiss her. Her reaction is totally real."
Falchuk also revealed that all those tears were 100% real too. He said, "Just so you know. No one needed any help crying. They all did it on their own without the use of tear enhancers. Those kids are all obnoxiously talented." No harm indulging in some plugging!
Di Loreto discussed the possible return of Jonathan Groff and Idina Menzel. According to him, Groff "did a great job. He's the nicest guy in the world. He came out on the tour with us and the audience loved him. I sure hope he gets a chance to come back on."About Menzel, he added, "I hope there's an opportunity for her to be back. I think she's a really interesting character."
Jane Lynch (who just married to her girlfriend, yay!) revealed that her character Sue Sylvester isn't going to go all sweetness and light either, despite having saved the day in the finale episode. She's still going to bring more bad-assitude next season. Despite that, she added, "Still, we know she's got a heart underneath it and that makes it easier for us to take all the terrible things she says and does. We know she's human and that makes her character lovable." Check.
But perhaps the most exciting news is this: Glee is also going to visit Comic-Con in San Diego next month! Be prepared for some gleeks gone wild!
