text: The only real shock with Michael Frayn's German political history lesson Democracy would be if it doesn't transfer after its world premiere run at the National. In the NT Cottesloe, the piece was well received last night by an audience of dignitaries and well reviewed this morning by the broadsheet critics. Even Peter J Davison's slick two-tier set looks more suited to a West End playhouse than the South Bank complex's smallest auditorium. Producer Michael Codron - the third of the trio of Michaels (playwright Frayn and director Blakemore being the first two) who've banded together on numerous West End hits, not least 1998's multi award-winning Copenhagen - is probably already thumbing through his diary. Meanwhile, Democracy is currently booking up to 4 October at the Cottesloe, where it's running in rep.

We'd suspected it for a while, but now we're sure: Audi hearts China.
After showing off its Cross Coupe Concept at the Beijing auto show last year, Audi has just unveiled the production Q5 - a small SUV in the mould of the BMW X3 - at the same show.
Yes, it's yet another soft-roader, but it looks like a tidy effort from Audi, so let's dive straight into some Worthwhile Facts.
The Q5 - which will be built in both Germany and, yes, China - sits on the same platform as the A5 and A4, which means it has a longer wheelbase and lower overall height than most of the small soft-road crowd.
It's a far more understated creature than its big brother Q7 - although it retains the same trapezoidal grille up front, the Q5 doesn't look half as keen to devour unwitting pedestrians.
The visuals can be beefed up, though, with an S-Line bodykit, or there's an 'offroad style kit' with underbody protection and the like if you'd prefer.
The Q5 will launch with a choice of three engines: a two-litre turbodiesel, a lively sounding two-litre TFSI petrol engine and the range-topping 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel. The latter develops 237bhp but a whopping 369lb ft of torque, which will see the Q5 to 62mph in 6.2 seconds and on to 139mph while returning 36.6mpg.
It'll also come with the option of Audi's new seven-speed S-tronic gearbox - the Q5 is the first car to get the twin-clutch transmission, but expect to see it pop up elsewhere very soon.
As you'd expect, the Q5 gets permanent four-wheel drive, with 60 per cent of the torque feeding through the rear wheels in normal driving conditions - 'for a rear-focussed style that enhances driving pleasure', according to Audi - but can vary the front/rear bias depending on road conditions.
Or off-road conditions: Audi reckons the Q5 will do the business on the muddy stuff, too, and says the car will climb slopes of 31 degrees and cross streams half a metre deep.
We'll find out when the Q5 arrives in Britain at the very end of this year. Expect prices to start just under £31,000 and rise plenty rapidly from there.

Extracts of the hearing in front of the EP of Catherine Ashton, Member of the EC designate in charge of Trade
End production:
First transmission:
After the resignation of Peter Mandelson, replacement Catherine Ashton hoped for a smooth takeover of the role of Member of the EC in charge of Trade. With trade policy exclusively in EU hands, the Commissioner is a major player on the world scene. So Catherine Ashton faced close questioning on 20 October 2008 before the Trade Committee of the EP on her suitability for the job. Members from the Development and Foreign Affairs Committees also asked questions. After the hearing, Members of the EP decided on whether to recommend the full Parliament approves her appointment in a vote on 22 October. Catherine Ashton had been until then a Labour Member in the British House of Lords, the Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council in Gordon Brown's first cabinet in June 2007. She is an economist and previously held positions as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Education and Skills, Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Department for Constitutional Affairs, and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice. She brings with her significant European experience, including steering the Lisbon Treaty through the British upper chamber and dealing with EU justice and home affairs issues in her previous positions.

Exterior view of the European Parliament in Strasbourg
Catherine Ashton, Member of the EC designate in charge of Trade, talking with Members of the EP before the start of the hearing (3 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that she is someone who regards herself as strongly pro-European; her British and European identities have always pulled her in the same direction rather than apart (3 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that she is an experienced negotiator who knows how to build bridges; she led significant changes in the British Health Service and she was appointed to the British House of Lords in 1999; from that position she has been British Minister for both Human Rights and Justice (2 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that plenty of people have noted that she would be the first female British Commissioner and the first female Trade Commissioner, to which she says: it is time; it would not be credible to suggest that she has mastered every detail of European Trade Policy in ten days; but she comes to that position with years of relevant experience in government and business and strong convictions about how trade should work and what it means to live in a global economy (3 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that she was born and grew up in Lancashire, which used to be the heart of the British textile industry; she knows what communities go through when industries rise and fall; whatever the end result of economic change, no matter how great the overall benefits for the societies, they have a responsibility to the people whose lives are changed in the process; that is why Europe's social models matter more that ever in a world of rapid economic change
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that she thinks there is a role for trade in helping the EU meet the Millennium Development Goals and tackle climate change; the point is that trade and open markets are a means to an end, never an end in themselves; they should not allow the European trade policy to produce social or environmental results in Europe, or anywhere else, that are counter to the wider European policy goals (3 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that if approved by the EP, her first visit will be to Geneva to assure Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), that the WTO and pursuing a successful Doha Round remain absolutely central to Europe's trade policy (2 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that we are being forced to think about what we do best; that does not mean, for instance, getting out of farming, it means focussing on the specialist and traditional agricultural products which are our strength (3 shots)
Catherine Ashton (in ENGLISH) saying that she does not believe that the answers to any of our problems - and that includes the current financial crisis - lie in reversing the current openness of the global economy; she believes they lie in managing economic globalisation better

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Tuesday, June 30, 2015
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Italian mega-producer Carlo Ponti's resumé reads not only like a checklist of the golden highlights of postwar European cinema, but as a testament to the creative vision of a maverick -- a filmmaking revolutionary defiantly unafraid to take enormous career risks. In the final analysis, Ponti's consistency in gracing the pinnacle of success and breaking new filmic ground time and again -- in Italy, Great Britain, and Hollywood -- is virtually unprecedented in moviedom. Born December 11, 1913, in the hamlet of Magenta, Italy, on the outskirts of Milan, Ponti studied law as a young man and launched his own practice as an attorney before entering filmmaking with the Mario Soldati-directed period epic Piccolo Mondo Antico in 1940, starring Alida Valli. That picture's twin commercial and critical triumphs enabled Ponti not simply to continue his production-oriented work, but to ride the crest of Italian neorealism by collaborating with the top helmers in Italy as the '40s progressed, including Luigi Zampa (Vivere in Pace [1947], Cuori Senza Frontiere [1949]), Alberto Lattuada (Il Mulino del Po [1949]), Renato Castellani (Mio Figlio Professore [1946]), and Pietro Germi (Gioventu Perduta [1947]).

When same-sex marriage became legal in Minnesota, the Betty Crocker cake brand donated custom wedding cakes to three couples when they tied the knot.
It proudly stated: 'Betty celebrates all families…. We don't want to be old fashioned.'
Now Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay organization Family Research Council, wants his followers to take their collective sweet tooth elsewhere, Right Wing Watch reports.
During a radio broadcast this week, Perkins called Betty Crocker's role in the 'counterfeit' weddings 'a recipe for disaster.' He then urged listeners to boycott Betty Crocker, a brand owned by General Mills.
'At Betty Crocker, the only thing they're mixing up is their priorities,' Perkins said. 'When you're at the store, think outside the Betty Crocker box!'
Betty Crocker is hardly the first brand to be boycotted by Perkins' group. Companies such as Starbucks, Target, and JC Penney have been targeted for a variety of pro-gay actions.
Betty Crocker's parent company, General Mills, is headquarted in Minnesota.
'Unfortunately for General Mills, the majority of Americans think natural marriage is anything but old fashioned,' Perkins claimed. 'And they've made it tough on companies like Target, Starbucks, and JC Penney who disagree.'

After Ted Cruz gave an interview at BuzzFeed HQ on Monday, BuzzFeed surprised him with a script to audition for The Simpsons now that Harry Shearer is retiring.
The comedian responded to the historic Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage that came down Friday by posting a video to YouTube during which he declares, "Congratulations, gays."
Democrats have a fever, and the only prescription is more Bernie Sanders.
If there's anything you can say about Donald Trump, it's that he's consistent and doesn't back away from a fight.
In a recent radio broadcast, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said he doesn't think that gay people have experienced the same level of discrimination as black people.
Following last week's Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, Chris Christie said that clerks and law officials, even if they disagree, need to uphold the law.

Comcast recently hacked, customers should change passwords
Comcast subscribers are now recommended to change their passwords after the NullCrew FTS hacker group successfully hacked at least 34 Comcast servers. The hack took place earlier in February, but didn't receive much attention, and many Comcast users were still unaware they faced any type of security exploit.
All 34 Comcast mail servers fell victim to the same exploit.
Much to the delight of the hacker group, when originally targeting Comcast, a Comcast Twitter support team member naively asked "Hello, how can I help?", in which the group said, "Fix the vulnerabilities in your mail servers before we pwn them?, taunting the oblivious customer service rep.
Comcast is the biggest U.S. ISP and appears to have neglected closing a security hole in which the NullCrew FTS team was able to collect information - and didn't share customer data in a public pastebin - specifically targeting e-mail accounts.
Smart HDTVs, streaming products help drive connected living room
Manufacturers have finally figured out how to attract consumers to connected high-definition TVs (HDTVs), using third-party Web-based apps to draw in users. Smart TVs will capture the "majority of television shipments" this year, and more U.S. consumers will have smart TVs than connected TVs by 2015, according to Business Insider.
Original Web TVs initially seemed appealing, but were wrongly predicted TV viewers would want to use the TV to browse the Internet in a traditional manner. Some companies embrace open platforms, such as LG, Roku and Google Chromecast supporting open source, while Apple, Samsung and other companies rely on closed infrastructures.
Apple TV and Roku set-top boxes lead the market for streaming devices, though Google Chromecast also sold a large number of units. Apple TV racked up 8 million units shipped during all of 2013, while Roku shipped 4.5 million units.
Google nixes pornographic content on Chromecast
Google may have opened up the Chromecast SDK for developers, but don't expect to see any porn through the $35 product - banning any content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, and sexually-explicit material.
Google also warned child porn supporters that the authorities will be notified whenever discovered. From the Google fine print:
"We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child sexual abuse imagery. If we become aware of content with child sexual abusive imagery, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution."
This isn't a big surprise, as Google decided to turn down porn-related apps from its Glass product, with the company trying to get its product supported for all audiences. Gambling apps also are banned from Chromecast, including online casinos and sports betting apps that reward gamers with cash or other currency.
Google launches Chromecast SDK, as consumers await flood of apps
Less than one year after the public launch of its Chromecast HDTV dongle, Google has finally opened up the software development kit for developers trying to get in on the fun. The Cast SDK was previously available, but was in a restricted form as Google worked with exclusive partners to give them earlier access to create Chromecast apps.
"With the Chromecast, we're resetting consumer applications," noted Rishi Chandra, Google Chromecast director of product management.
App developers now have the ability to integrate Chromecast apps with Google Android, Apple iOS, or Web-based apps - and Google developers believe the potential for Cast-enabled apps is huge - joining Netflix, YouTube, Chrome, and a small number of apps Google immediately included support for from launch.
Time Warner Cable loses subscribers, rivals lick their chops
Cable provider Time Warner Cable suffered through another turbulent year, losing 831,000 paid subscribers in 2013. The No. 2 broadcaster in the United States lost 119,000 during Q1, 191,000 in Q2, 306,000 in Q3, and 215,000 subscribers in Q4 - but still has 11.5 million video subscribers in the United States, though that number is expected to decline further.
Several companies have shown interest in trying to acquire Time Warner Cable, with Charter Communications expected to raise its bid for the struggling cable provider. As Time Warner Cable continues to lose subscribers, both Charter and Comcast are likely to show great interest in picking up the company.
Although there are disputing reports of cord cutting, in which subscribers go to Netflix and other online-based services, cable and satellite providers are clearly struggling. Premium subscription channels such as HBO and Starz are increasingly opening up content through connected TVs, tablets and smartphones, which will continue to increase.
AT&T patents a system to limit high-bandwidth users
AT&T has recently filed for a patent that would institute a credits-based system. The new system is designed to allow AT&T to lower the bandwidth allotment for file-sharers, but the implications of the patent go much further than that. The new patent could have a chilling effect on content distribution networks, including Steam, Origin, and Netflix.
The patent, titled "Prevention Of Bandwidth Abuse Of A Communications System", would theoretically allow AT&T to create Internet plans that would only allow access to certain sites or protocols. The patent has a brief description:
The user is provided an initial number of credits. As the user consumes the credits, the data being downloaded is checked to determine if it is permissible or non-permissible. Non-permissible data includes file-sharing files and movie downloads if user subscription does not permit such activity. If the data is permissible, the user is provided another allotment of credits equal to the initial allotment. If the data is non-permissible, the user is provided an allotment of credits less than the initial allotment

Opera spells out the 5 TV web trends to follow this year
The wide adoption of connected high-definition TVs opened the door to great potential for consumers accessing apps, streaming video, and other dynamic content. Software maker Opera recently shared several web trends that consumers can expect to see from connected TVs and other entertainment devices in the living room.
Opera believes Internet video will explode on TV in 2014, as the amount content also drastically catches up. Next, TV apps are going to become more relevant and viewers will become more comfortable using these types of apps as the overall experience improves. Due to new connected technology apps available, TV ads also are going to become interactive, providing a more targeted, entertaining experience.
Moving forward, smart TVs will become even more affordable, so casual consumers will be able to explore different options available. As more people begin to upgrade their TVs and purchase newer models, the amount of content will also increase - on-demand, Netflix, Hulu, and pay operators are expanding their streaming offerings.
'Connected' home technology on the rise, future looks interesting
The growth of connected technologies will also drive demand for apps which have typically only found their way to smartphones and tablets. Since refrigerators, thermostats, and other connected home appliances typically don't rely on a traditional GUI to operate, apps are the best way for home owners to interact with smart technology.
"As users continue to adopt and interact with apps, it is their data - what they say, what they do, where they go - that is transforming the app interaction paradigm," a Gartner analyst recently noted. "In the next three to four years, apps will no longer be simply confined to smartphones and tablets, but will impact a wider set of devices, from home appliances to cars and wearable devices."
For example, an app would send out an alert via the connected refrigerator to the owner to notify milk - or another staple food item - is running low.
Despite the growth of connected technologies, after a recent security study discovered at least one connected refrigerator was part of an organized botnet, security issues will clearly need to be addressed.
Your refrigerator could be sending out spam, according to researchers
A recent botnet with more than 100,000 hijacked PCs and electronics also included at least one refrigerator, according to security research group Proofpoint. The botnet also relied on "multi-media centers" and connected high-definition TVs, though this is the first public disclosure of a smart refrigerator - and household appliance - used in an organized botnet.
The 'Internet of Things' continues to frighten researchers trying to determine guidelines on how to defend connected devices that are able to connect to the Internet. Despite the security threat, consumers are expected to embrace the Internet of Things, though provides "great promise for cyber criminals," according to security experts.
These types of attacks targeting connected devices will only increase, security researchers warn, as more consumers begin to use smart refrigerators, washers and dryers, and other common household appliances.
Google Fiber registration has arrived for residents in Provo, Utah
If you're a resident of Provo, Utah, then this news is right up your alley: Google is now accepting registrations for its gigabit Internet service, known as Google Fiber.
The high-speed broadband will include any customers sitting on the former iProvo network, a fiber-optic backbone that was installed, and later sold to Google. Google did note: "We can't install fiber to everyone in Provo all at once, so we're going to work in waves, starting with the North Park area next month and finishing in the Foothills area hopefully by the end of this year".
Provo residents can choose from three different service plans, with the minimum offering 5/1Mbps, which will cost you a $30 one-time fee for installation. Higher tiers are available, with Gigabit Internet on offer for $70 per month, or a Gigabit Internet + TV offer for $120 per month.

Looking for Ms Not So Perfect
I'm a kind, caring man who works a lot and is looking for someone to spend time with on the weekends. I'm looking for someone who can add a little levity to my life and likes to go out and do things. I'm not looking for Ms Perfect. I am, however, looking for someone who can become a good friend. I am a hopeless romantic and probably the last remaining Mr Nice Guy. I believe any type of relationship is based on trust and trust has to be earned. Without trust, there can be no relationship. I am a Virgo, henceforth I do have my quirks. I am also a very straight forward person and will tell you (as politically correctly as I can) what's on my mind. I have lived a very diverse life and am looking forward to more diversity. I prefer a woman with a few extra pounds on her. (20 or 30 at the most) I'm looking for a woman who knows how to laugh at life and is generally glad that her eyes open each day. I don't really care what someone believes in as long as they believe in it and have an open mind. (devils advocate is one of my favorite topics). I like to have good conversations about the oddest thing.an After all is said, if you looking for someone who knows how to enjoy life, does their own thing, cares about your opinions and feelings and wants nothing more than to treat you as you deserve, then give me a ring d we'll see what we see.

New DWI procedure in Miller County takes delay out of blood test By Nick Hehemann • Jun 20, 2014 versageek / Flickr Miller County authorities now have a new way to conduct DWI investigations. The new method makes it much easier for officers to attain search warrants when administering blood draws from suspected drivers. Supreme Court rules necessity of warrant in most DWI blood draws By Jacob McCleland • Apr 17, 2013 WallyG / FLICKR The United States Supreme Court ruled today in a Missouri case that police cannot take a blood test from a drunk driving suspect without a warrant, during a routine drunk driving arrest. Court weighs warrantless blood tests in DUI cases By Associated Press • Jan 9, 2013 Brian Turner / Flickr The Supreme Court is considering whether police must get a warrant before ordering a blood test on an unwilling drunken-driving suspect. The justices heard arguments Wednesday in a case involving a disputed blood test from Missouri. Police stopped a speeding, swerving car and the driver, who had two previous drunken-driving convictions, refused to submit to a breath test to measure the alcohol level in his body. On mid-sized farms By Rehman Tungekar • Jun 21, 2012 Frank Morris / Harvest Public Media This week, we'll hear the final installment of Harvest Public Media's Farmer of the Future series.

Last Tuesday, while Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney campaigned in Florida, Buddy Roemer walked toward Zuccotti Park. He carried a briefcase and wore a navy suit, a red tie, and loafers. The park had reverted to its pre-Occupy state—construction workers on stone benches eating sandwiches—but on the sidewalk a half-dozen protesters shouted, with varying degrees of coherence. One of them, a man holding a can labelled "Donations" in one hand and a cat in the other, asked Roemer what he was doing downtown. "I'm just here to listen, man," Roemer said, as he dropped coins into the can.

Ulysses S. Grant brought a Newfoundland dog named Faithful to the White House. Faithful belonged to Jesse Grant, the son of President Grant.
NCNE Rescue and Referral Service
The goals of the Newfoundland Club of New England Rescue & Referral Service (NCNERRS) are as follows:
In the best interest of the dogs and to save time and avoid misunderstandings please fill out the NCNERRS Adoption Application and return it to NCNE Rescue, 40 Durham St., Nashua, NH 03063 before calling about a particular dog.
Rescue Volunteers Needed!
NCNERRS desperately needs your help! Rescue Volunteers are at the heart of everything Rescue does. We can't do this important work without you.
NCNERRS Volunteer Questionnaire
For more information, please email us at email@example.com or call 1-855-NEWFIES (639-3437).
Adopting a Rescue Newfoundland
NCNE proudly maintains a rescue and referral service for the purpose of finding good homes for displaced Newfoundland dogs. Newfoundlands come into Rescue for a variety of reasons. Sometimes families need to give up their Newf, because they do not have adequate time to spend with the dog, allergies or health problems, financial reasons, or behavioral concerns. People often buy a puppy and don't anticipate the size of an adult or the commitment of time, grooming and training. Other families are faced with personal crises. Some rescues are the victims of neglect or abuse.
A veterinarian evaluates every Newfoundland that comes into Rescue. All rescued Newfs are brought up to date on all core vaccinations and are spayed or neutered. We test for tick-born illnesses including heartworm and Lyme disease and a battery of blood work is performed, including a full CBC/Chem Screen. NCNERRS is committed to providing care for any treatable illness or injury. Rescue volunteers also make careful assessments of temperament and behavior.
In order to make the best possible match between the Newfs in rescue and you, we have a multi-step adoption process. Once we receive your completed adoption application, we will check the provided references and make arrangements for a volunteer to visit your home and family. Home visits are NOT white glove inspections; they are the best way for us to get to know you and your family better and help us determine what type of dog would best meet your needs. They also give us the opportunity to discuss Newfoundland care and safety issues as well as personally answer any questions about the breed or the adoption process.
Our goal for each Newfoundland rescue is to place them in a home with caring people who will make them a life long family member.
For information or assistance, please call 1-855-NEWFIES (639-3437) or email us at NCNE Rescue
Surrendering your Newfoundland
We understand that giving up your Newfoundland is a difficult decision, but we realize that in making this choice, you are thinking about your dog's best interests. We are here to help. Above all, please be honest; we understand your dog may not be perfect, but the more we know then the better we are able to find the right new home for your dog. Your dog deserves a second chance to find a wonderful home, and by providing us with the detailed information, you will help the NCNE Rescue & Referral Service better accomplish this goal.
Every dog is placed in an approved foster home until an appropriate permanent home is found. In all cases the best interests of the dog is paramount. We applaud your decision for giving your dog a second chance for a good life through this program.
Note: We can only accept purebred Newfoundlands into NCNE Rescue.
For information or assistance, please call 1-855-NEWFIES (639-3437) or email us at NCNE Rescue
Happy Tails
.Here are some of our Rescues who have completed the journey to loving new homes.
Donate to NCNE Rescue
Our adoption fees do not cover all of the costs involved in operating our rescue service. We gratefully accept donations of any amount. If you would like to help us re-home and rehabilitate these amazing dogs, please send a check to:

Yunnan Province serves as a hub of NGO activity in China allowing students to closely examine the evolution and modes of operation by which these organizations must work with the government in order to accomplish their objectives.

Students can rapidly advance their Mandarin through the program's intensive language component, which yields six academic credits. Interested students may also select to undertake an additional 60 hours of intensive Chinese in lieu of the traditional independent study project, granting them a total of ten language credits.
Excursions to Dali, Lijiang, and Zhongdian
Program excursions bring students into close engagement with local scholars, medical, and development professionals, as well as Daoist, Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian religious leaders. Learn more about the program's excursions.
Living with host families--through the program's two homestays--allows students to experience daily Chinese life in urban and rural settings.

Psy's "Gangnam Style" ranked 64th on the U.S. Billboard's singles chart, The Billboard Hot 100, when it was updated on Thursday, the highest slot achieved by a Korean artist to date.
The previous record was set by Wonder Girls, who placed 76th with their song "Nobody" in October 2009.
Along with the Billboard 200, a chart for albums, the Billboard Hot 100, which ranks singles based on online and offline sales, is the most prestigious music chart in the U.S.
As Psy has yet to release an official album there, industry insiders forecast the song will keep on climbing.
Meanwhile, Psy was chosen as Koreans' favorite singer in a poll conducted by Gallup Korea on Thursday, placing first with 19 percent and beating Girls' Generation, who were voted the best act in Korea for a third consecutive year.
The respondents in the Gallup poll were able to choose multiple favorites.

Rate was $0 which reflects ROD price. Nice quiet park near the marina, river, and quaint town of LaConner and other nearby attractions. We enjoyed sightseeing during our week here. The downside were frequently fly-overs by NAS Whidbey Island and the extremely tight RV spaces. Probably won't stay here again. - hr08

This has gone downhill over the years. 1/2 of the sites are now unusable for all but the very smallest of RVs. They don't cut back on the shrubs/trees and roots have heaved on a lot of the sites so you can't back in. We will Not be coming back again. - PugetSound

TTN rate. This park could rate higher if there was satisfactory TV and Wi-Fi reception. Our cell phones worked fine but the Wi-Fi hotspot at the lodge was stone cold, for nearly two weeks, and our cards were intermittent. Weekend breakfast OK. The staff was receptive but noncommital. Since the CG is treed and dark its a little dreary this time of year. This is our home park but we still have issues with condition of some of the amenities and facilities. Some sites do have full 50 amp water/sewer/electric upper sites. Most of the remainder don't have sewer. There are 3 dump stations on the way out. Fuel prices at service stations on the reservation are lower than those in surrounding towns. If you are looking for seclusion and peace and quiet (except for being in the flight path for Navy fighters in and out of Whidbey Island NAS) this is the place. We will return when the need to come back home overcomes us. - SilverBear
Jul 2014 - $0.00
Nice park in a wood setting. Quiet and we had a site with full hookups. I have Verizon and could sometimes text but there was no phone or Internet reception. Television channels are reruns of old sitcoms. Hot tub was being worked on. They have an outdoor movie on the weekends and serve breakfast and lunch. There are planned activities. We are Thousand Trails member so there is no daily cost to us. We will return. - rolling homeless

Perspective-Correct Texturing
Thatcher Ulrich has created a perspective-correct texturing demo using triangle texture mapping. To quote Thatcher: "Old software-rendering tricks ride again!"
Thatcher explains how it works:
The subdivision method is fairly simple; the idea is that each triangle edge is tested to see how badly it needs perspective correction. Each edge is tested independently. Each edge that needs subdivision is bisected. This gives 8 cases for any triangle (each edge can either be bisected, or not), generating between 1 and 4 output triangles. Then the process is applied recursively. Because it is edge centric, adjacent triangles make the same decisions for shared edges, and there are no t-junctions.

This ain't Dehydration.
No how, no way.
He iv fluids yesterday, in my experience you're right as rain after they do that and you get some sleep.
And in all my experience you fall asleep immediately once you get the fluids.
You get dehydrated like that after working out in the sun or playing 3 overtimes in a row or something like that.

Anything that is sharp can be life threatening
It is not an easy task to explain to young people that they need to be responsible, and always protect themselves against HIV- all the more so when access to both protection and reliable information is limited. With help from Chigwirizano activists, orphan children at Nhaacamba School have gained knowledge and confidence about what HIV and AIDS are, and how to stay safe. They can now share these assets with their peers.
Fifteen-year-old Flor Costa is getting her hair braided by a friend, Aida Juliana. They are both 15, and are Grade 5 students at Nhaacamba School in Changara district. Flor exudes confidence when she explains, "If the man will not use protection, you will have to say no!" Her friends around her agree-it is important to protect oneself against HIV, and the responsibility always lies with both partners.
Fernanda Rosa Gaviao, an activist from the NGO Chigwirizano, has been working with the young people at Nhaacamba school for two years. They meet, talk and prepare theatre shows that explain the various risks. "It is very important to explain to children, early on, how to protect themselves against infection. This is a job that I believe will save many lives."
The children that Chigwirizano works with are mostly orphans, and Flor is one of them. The School Awareness Programme for HIV Prevention inspires children to make their voices heard in various ways, teaching them about the importance of HIV and AIDS prevention. The most appreciated feature is the theatre shows. "The work we do here has many different parts, but we always try to remind the children and keep the dialogue on HIV and AIDS going. The children like the theatre shows; they lead to discussion, and there are always many questions," Ms. Gaviao explains.
Flor talks about the different ways one can contract HIV. "It is not only by not using protection," she says. "Everything involving blood can be dangerous; you can never share the same razor or needle with anybody. It can be expensive to get your own, but everything that is sharp can be life threatening."
As an aspiring professor, Flor says that she would like to remind her students about the dangers of HIV: "I would teach them everything I know, it will be my responsibility." She would like to stay in Nhaacamba to teach; "This is my community, I belong here," she says.

Why is The Muppet Movie rated G?
Official MPAA Rating: The Muppet Movie is rated G for
In typical Muppet style, this movie is full of slapstick antics and physical comedy, including animal attacks, gunshots, roughhousing, car chases, pies in faces, and self-defense karate chops.
A more serious sense of peril exists in a scene where a character is kidnapped and held hostage, and another is threatened with having his mind erased by an electrical-shock-producing machine operated by a man with a German accent who makes a couple of Jewish references. In another scene, a group of armed men and a hired assassin engage in target practice before confronting their intended victim. Romance is introduced into the script when Miss piggy falls in love-at -first-sight with the web-footed hero (amounting to lavish daydreams and a couple of kisses). Later, Kermit and Rolf the Dog bemoan the frustration of not being able to live with or without women. An experimental drug cause a creature to grow unusually large and an alcoholic beverage is served in a restaurant.

This passage is narrated in a soothing baritone Don LaFontaine style voice. Ah, that's better.
J'aime and Christian Sparrow first met in their teens at Nauset Light Beach on Cape Cod. Christian, a native and J'aime, a wash-a-shore from Connecticut, would spent time together at a family cottage not far from the old lighthouse.
Growing up on 'the sandbar', they shared a profound appreciation for its salt-seasoned environment and unique residential habitat. But most of all, they were — and clearly still are — oddly obsessed with birds.
Gulls cruising the coastline, sparrows lurking in the pines, crows surveying their territory from wires and tree tops; Christian and J'aime would watch birds forage, flock, and vanish like ghosts.
Born out of these observations was the recognition of a well-balanced reciprocal relationship a bird has with its environment. They help each other renew, evolve and thrive. This connection is what inspired the idea for Sunbird.
After a decade living in Northern California where J'aime immersed herself in local food culture, and Christian persued his interest in visual communications, they moved back home to the Cape.
In 2011 they hatched Sunbird; an evolving idea that encourages us to live more like birds — on the fly.
Along the way the Sparrows met Karen Densmore, a loon as it turns out (the water bird!). They became fast friends, worked on the truck together, and today are Sunbird partners!
Karen brings to the table years of experience, including running her own successful neighborhood restaurant in Boston, Truc, and so much more.
Sunbird is about staying curious, inspired, being real and feeling alive. Every customer we serve and every person we connect with helps cultivate this idea, and sets it free.
We are a flock of locals, wash-a-shores and visitors alike who enjoy living on the fly.
Join us ☺

Stay updated with all the latest happenings at Techjoomla. From news about the developments in your favourite extensions to Tips & Tricks about the Joomla CMS, Framework & Development.
After we aquired jomLike & jomGive from our friends at CorePHP last August, we had promissed both existing subscribers as well as our custommers of exciting & ground breaking changes & features to both the extensions. jGive a full rewrite of JomGive was released soon after to add tons of Features & native Joomla & CB support besides JomSocial. It has since become immensely popular with the community for any needs related to Donations & Investments.
And now, its time for a rewrite of jomLike ! We have revamped the entire code base to add some really awesome features & many many extension integrations. This Labs post will give you a walkthrough of what we have in store for you.
The name is changing to signify that our new Likes system will work with or without JomSocial. You will be able to extend it to practically any Joomla extension. It will do everything jomlike did & much more !
jLike carries forward the Likes & Dislikes feature of jomLike. We have improved it quite a bit though. It much pretier with Bootstrap & the ability to use classes to change icons using classes & Font Awesome. You can rename the text & use jLike in any way you want.. As a likes dislikes system, Favourites or Bookmarks system !
Its so flexible that wehave one client using it with a Shopping cart as a wishlist !
Show a nice set of people who have liked the content just like Facebook. We can get your user's avatars from Gravtar, JomSocial or CB.
Turn on this feature & users will be able to add Labels or Tags to content. Labels can be set as public or private . Awesome way to manage stuff they like.
This feature will allow users to add a quick note against any link they like. This note or annotation can be private or you can set it to public & it will be more like a comment. This gets our implementation of Like much closer to Facebook & adds some more Zing on top !
All extra features can be switched on or off as per your requirement. Whether you want a Vanila likes system or a full featured one is completely under your control !
When we release, jLike will ship with 25+ inbuilt integrations for various extensions including all popular CCKs, Joomla Content, Popular Shops & Galleries & much more.
If you find jLike doesnt yet support the extension you need OR you are a extension developer & want to add support for jLike, our simple API will let you integrate in as little as 5 lines of code ! The API Docs Are already out !
jLike is written in native Joomla MVC & has lots of inbuilt plugin triggers to let you override & extend as much as you would like to. Plus it comes with Native support for Joomla 2.5 & 3.0.
Hmm... Thats about it for now, that is ! When will it be released you say ? Well it would be well justified to say that its just around the corner !

This is unbelievable! Rose not included! Lame! The reason he gives isn't good enough to exclude Pete. With all due respect, Sabo shouldn't be included.
This is unbelievable! Rose not included! Lame! The reason he gives isn't good enough to exclude Pete. With all due respect, Sabo shouldn't be included.
It's his painting. He could put a Reds cap on Underdog if he wanted.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
There are a few that should be behind Pete on that inclusion list. Crazy.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.
John Wooden
I couldn't get the picture to come up. But without Rose its incomplete. I wouldn't consider buying one at any price without him in it.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Some truly terrible choices. The article says he included Ewell Blackwell from the 1940 world champs, but Blackwell first joined the Reds in 1942.
How does he select Paul Derringer from the 1940 Reds and leave out Bucky Walters? Walters was the NL MVP in 1939 and lead the NL in wins in 1939, 1940 and 1944.
Where's Frank Robinson?
Where's Edd Roush?
Leaving out Rose is crazy. He may as well put Underdog in the picture as Raisor suggested.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
Where is Perez? Nice painting, weird choices.
Let me pick the players and I might pay 250 dollars or 50...
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
It is bad enough that he snubbed Rose, but he puts JB in a very small portion of the picture. I guess he had to move the greatest catcher of all time and arguably the greatest Red of all time to a more obscure place in order to fit Chris Sabo in a more prestigious spot!
.....and he really plans on selling these things for $250 each??
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
Any painting or list of Reds great must include Pete Rose, Frank Robinson, and Vada Pinson. Spuds does not belong. Period. If you're going with Chris, why not include Gene Freese, who had a wonderful 1961 and nothing thereafter. There could be an argument for Junior Griffey, but I'll keep quiet so as not to start a firestorm,
I find fault with any document or work of art pertaining to the long history of the Cincinnati Reds that doesn't include Frank Robinson or Pete Rose.

Bruins look for some payback - 0 Comments
The last time the Bruins faced the Tampa Bay Lightning, they were still searching for their rock bottom of the 2011-12 season. There are a lot of candidates for that distinction, but the 6-1 drubbing the Bolts handed the B's on March 13 just might have been that bottom. And coach Claude Julien hopes his team hasn't closed the mental book on that one as they prepare to meet the Lightning in the final of four matchups against Tampa. The Lightning have a 2-1 edge so far.
"It's never a bad thing to feel a little bit of the sting," said Julien.

No more thermarest for me!
One of the best purchases I've made. It is great to be able to sleep the whole night without waking up because your arms are numb or your hip is sore. If you are a side sleeper, get this pad. The r-value isn't as high as a thermarest, but I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in warmth.
