Melody Waterworth's music sees her through Open Mic UK heats
Posted: September 22, 2012|
Somerset is proving to be full of music talent, with a Glastonbury girl making it through to the next round of the Open Mic UK comptition.
Melody Waterworth, 15, was given the big thumbs up by judges at the Open Mic UK auditions. This is a national talent competition to find the UK's best singers, singer/songwriters, rappers and vocalists.
She will compete against fellow central Somerset hopefuls Lee Rahn and Jonny Shipton, who have also made it through to the regional heats.
Melody, a pupil at St Dunstan's School, has performed in many school productions, with the Glastonbury Town Players in pantomime, and most recently she staged a one-woman show at Wells Little Theatre with the help of her singing teacher, Kate White.
She is now in the running to compete for a place in the National Final within The O2 in London early next year.
If she is successful in getting through to the national final, Melody will battle it out to win a recording contract for the overall winner, as well as coverage and promotion on MUZU.TV, development classes and recording studio time.
She said: "I'm very excited to be singing on the stage at St George's, Bristol, and I need all my friends and supporters to buy tickets for the event and to come and cheer me on and vote for me."
The regional final will take place on September 30 at 12.30pm and will feature a special guest performance as well as contestants.
All ticket holders who vote will be entered in a prize draw to win £100 worth of festival tickets.
For further information and to buy tickets, costing £8 each, please contact Jo Waterworth on 01458 834405.

The way I see it… His fellow gang member brothers raised the money for his bail… Then they raised the money for his lawyer… Since he lost the case they will now raise the money for his appeals… They will also help pay for his commissary during his appeal… They will help support his family while his case is being appealed… And they will visit him on every visiting day…
Then when his appeals are exhausted and he is still denied his freedom his fellow gang member brothers will pay any fines imposed on him and they will visit and support him for the next 50 yrs… They may even consider paying for the cost of his incarceration… Because this is what gang member brothers do for each other…
I wish they would stop referring to our children as prostitutes It dehumanizes them and de-criminalizes the acts of those that force them into this kind of life Behind each one of these children is a person that should be in prison
kevininjc: It seems that these surprise inspections are aimed at the drivers of these vehicles If the main root of the issue is to be addressed then it should be addressed at the owner/operator level and at the local government agency responsible for allowing them to operate They are the ones responsible for allowing these vehicles to be on the road You mention drivers with illegal licenses Well shouldn't the owners be checking to make sure that they are legal? You say they don't care then shouldn't local government be closing down their businesses?
Why is local government allowing for these operations to continue operating without the proper documents such as proper insurance, background checks of all drivers hired, proper credentials and safety? Forget about surprise inspections on the drivers and the buses how about surprise inspections on the owner/operators and local government to make sure that they are doing their jobs correctly. Maybe then the surprise inspections out on the roads would not be needed
It seems that it is a much needed service and shutting it down will only hurt those that depend on it as I once did So that should not be the answer The answer should be local government enforcing laws at the correct level. And that level being those responsible for the licensing (local government) and operating (owners) of these businesses Stop the abuse of the little guys (most drivers) trying to make a living in what seems to be a hostile environment
I know when I was living in the area they were instrumental in helping a lot of people get around If that is still the case then the ability to operate in a safe manner should be afforded to them Instead of fining them give them the opportunity to make the necessary repairs so that they can continue to operate in a safe manner Also what training if any do the drivers receive in order to acquire an operating license Maybe the training needs to be revamped Is it even working
Very well said....
Seen comments to the affect of the girl was wearing high heels, a wig and it's a known area for prostitution So therefore the 22 yr old girl was not referred to as someone's daughter, someone's sister, someone's niece… It seems that we don't realize that a lot of these young ladies are the ones in the missing posters (Elizabeth Smart) Or are being held against their will, have been kidnapped and forced into this under world. It seems that we don't realize that somewhere down in Florida a family is possibly looking for their 22 yr old child that has been kidnapped, forced into prostitution and is now in critical condition We need to change the way we think These are our children we should be taking care of them

The University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Lab is seeing cases of bloat in cattle 20 days earlier than normal, said Craig Carter, lab director.
"From Jan. 1 through April 3, the UKVDL has confirmed seven cases of bloat in Central Kentucky," Carter said.
Bloat, or frothy bloat, is a life-threatening disease in cattle that can occur when animals ingest young, vegetative legumes. The most common legume grazed in Kentucky is white clover, but cattle can also get bloat from grazing alfalfa and red clover.

Switch Building is a 7 storey apartment and art gallery building at 109 Norfolk Street in the Lower East Side, New York City.
The building consists of four floor-through apartments, a duplex penthouse, and a double height art gallery on the ground and cellar levels. nARCHITECTS provided full architectural services for the project, including all interior design.
The project's design emerges from a creative interpretation of some of
the narrow constraints imposed by zoning and the developer's needs.

While this certainly doesn't represent every method possible, it's a good way to introduce you to some options. And never forget the power of super glue - you just have to make sure you get it right the first time!
Step 1: Materials
To do these samples, I chose a pattern to use, appropriate colors of el wire in the thinnest gauge, fabric, invisible thread, embroidery thread, and grommets.
El wire from thatscoolwire.com.
Step 2: Trace your pattern
Trace your pattern onto your fabric. If using a dark fabric like this one, I suggest the following method:
Rub a light colored chalk over the back of the pattern.
Position the pattern over your fabric, chalk side down.
Trace over the pattern with a blunt tipped object.
Voila! Pattern traced and easily erased once you're done with it.
Step 3: Basic Application
This is probably the simplest technique for adding el wire to a fabric that doesn't fray.
Determine the points at which you want the el wire to run over the front of the fabric, and where it will dip back underneath. This gives you crisp edges and produces a better finish than if you were to overlap the wire and tape off the parts that you don't want glowing.
If you are using a fabric that frays, make sure to dot these places with fray check or white glue.
Make small slits in the fabric at these point. Feed the wire through the fabric, and secure with invisible thread by hand. The last image shows you what the back side of this piece looks like. Not a bad idea to secure the loops on the back with your invisible thread or glue.
Here's a little costume I made: http://www.instructables.com/id/Light-Up-Costume/
And here is an awesome jacket from enlighted: http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-add-EL-wire-to-a-coat-or-other-garment/
This is a groovy fire skirt by la (though maybe not your style) http://www.instructables.com/id/Fire-Skirt!/
And here's some awesome wall art by GlowWireGuy: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-EL-Wire-Art/

U.S. equity options ADV increased 5.7% compared to February 2012, but decreased 9.8% from January 2013 levels. Trading volumes in European cash equities were down 9.8% year-over-year, but rebounded up 12.8% month-over-month.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 795 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by BusinessTravel123 Nice Hotel I really hate the huge hotel/casino's, so this hotel size is perfect. Was a little bothered by the oder at the hotel, some spots within the hotel really smelled terrible. I cannot pinpoint the smell but it was annoying. December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Momster COMFORTABLE ROOMS, OK LOCATION If you're looking for a nice stay, very comfortable bed/shower but off the strip then this is great. It is walking distance to the strip and all the excitement, but I sort of enjoyed being away from it at times. December 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mesa2013 Aging Hotel Used to stay here a lot. First time in a while and the Hotel is in need of many updates. Also, $19.95 resort fee? I get free wifi for Platinum status and they didn't even deliver a newspaper. Not to Westin standards anymore. December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by keto1957 Poor toilet paper Much too rough, need to be softer like the previous brand. December 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by B123 Review 1. BILLING ERROR I booked this hotel using SPG points, however, the staff also charged my Amex card while SPG also deducted points. When I reported to Amex to rescind the charge since points were used, the hotel denied that I used points. Although I sent a copy of the points statement (where the points were clearly deducted for my stay), Amex and the hotel still denied the use of points and kept the charges on my credit card. Therefore, I was charged on my credit card. I have been trying to rescind either the Amex charge or the point deduction and hopefully SPG can just reverse the points. This has been an ordeal that I have been trying to reverse for 4 months now. 2. HOTEL DESIGN/COMFORT I did not feel like this hotel was very up to date. The fixtures in the lobby and elevator are old and there were many "wear and tear" issues on the elevator. Hallways and rooms/bathrooms/showers are also very old. The upkeep of this Westin is poor compared to other Westins where I have stayed in the past. December 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by UALCrew Maintenance needed Tub did not drain and I can't believe the maid for the 6th floor didn't notice this when she cleans the tub. Tile going into bathroom and around commode needs to be replaced as it is worn and changing colors. November 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rock66 Location Good location, off the Strp, but close to it. Attention to the guests is much better than big hotels on the Strip, which might be newer, but lack in personality and customer care. Plus they are way too big. The Westin though needs to renew its room which are not up to Westin standards. November 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BizMan100 Needs a makeover This hotel is great, but it is in dire need of updating and a makeover. It seemed worn out. November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cocoa916 Great customer service! Had a one night stay at the hotel. Location is not on the strip, but very close proximity, which for me, is very nice. What impressed me most, was the staff in the lobby made themselves readily available to assist guests. Very attentive! Also, Sean had excellent service at the front desk. Very courteous and great SPG recognition. I feel that the hotel works very well as a team to provide excellent customer service. November 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scott Not what I expected from Westin The staff is extremely friendly and they will give you points for everything, but the rooms were old and outdated. This is not what I expect from the Westin brand. Compared to other places I could have stayed in Las Vegas for the same price, these rooms are very antiquated and run down. November 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KB228 Great Hotel Right off the Strip This hotel is in a good location to get to almost anything on the Strip as it is only a short walk (one block) to Las Vegas Blvd. The hotel staff is friendly and, while the casino is small, it has everything you're probably looking for. The restaurant in the hotel is "meh." The service is nothing to write home about and the food is average. The hotel does have 24 hour room service, which is great and the sea salt fries are fantastic. I would recommend this hotel if you're headed to Vegas. November 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lioness Very Disappointing The moment we entered the lobby I said "I expected more." Our room had a ring of dust and dirt around the entire baseboard perimeter, the tile base was missing in places in the bathroom, the air conditioning could not be adjusted, the satellite reception for the television was intermittent, at best. Plus the pool was caution taped off, with no explanation. This property is NOT Westin quality. The staff was helpful and pleasant, but that was the only thing pleasant about our stay. We'll never go back. November 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Emjay Not the nicest Westin We love the Westin brand and i was excited to stay in this hotel. The hotel was nice, but the rooms were small and the bathroom felt cramped. The shower was rusting in areas. We brought our three young children and had planned on swimming for a few hours each day but the heater was not working. They arranged for us to use a pool at a nearby hotel which was a nice gesture, but still not as convenient. The hotel advertises that it is smoke free, but it still reeks of smoke mixed with air freshened. November 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tom111 Not a good experience We reserved a King-bed room through phone to the Westin reservation desk. When we arrived, the receptionist said there was only a double-bed room available. So we had to take that room. When we got to the room, it had a very strong smell. We thought it would go away after a while. But it stayed the two days we were there. There was also a bad smell somewhere. It really bothered me when I slept on the left bed. Anyway, the two days were not a good experience. November 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by cptspg1 Not Westin quality Previous reviewers complained of smoke...Westin's answer? Spraying large amounts of their "signature scent" everywhere...to a nauseating level that gave me horrible headaches, made it difficult to breath and made our stay miserable. Pillows need to be replaced. Marks all over the ceiling and walls. Was told a director would contact me in 2 hrs, no one ever phoned. The breakfast was of very poor quality (the fresh fruit is the exception). I could keep listing my complaints however due not wish to waste any more time on this place and want to move on. November 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scarab Great hotel for families and business The hotel makes me feel comfortable from the moment I stepped in the hotel. Staff makes their utmost effort to satisfy the guest and exceed his expectations for most of the time. SPA is top quality. It is clean neat and message is great.. Variety of food in the breakfast needs to be increased. Cheese has to be available in the display. Only ham and pork are available, but fish and beef should be provided. I recommend the hotel to my family, and my friends November 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tony36 This hotel tries hard but is not Westin quality Great location for the hotel. Just short walk from the strip. Hotel needs updating and should be listed as a Four Points hotel not a Westin. Pool area needs a lot of work. Staff are great! I expected a Westin hotel. November 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SPGLoyalfamily1 AIr Conditioning not working , Pool Heater not working The hotel staff was polite and professional. The lobby staff was satisfactory. We became unsatisfied once we arrived to our room. The room was 78 degrees when we arrived. We lowered the air to 67 and went to bed. We woke up all night, the air temp never got below 76. I spoke to the front desk in the morning and they up a repair man. He was also very pleasant and polite. However, the problem was not fixed. I went to the front desk again the next morning and they tried yet again to fix the problem. Bottom line, we stayed in a hot, uncomfortable room for the three days. Prior to our stay, I confirmed twice that the pool was heated. The pool was not heated. The water temperature was 60 at best. It did not even heat up during the day. When we spoke to the pool staff there, they said the heater had been broken for several weeks. When you have young teenagers, that cannot go in the casino to gamble, you need to have a comfortable room and pool to relax by. I complained at check out again and they said they would give us a 2,000 points. The hotel was 16,000 points a night for the night we used points for and $220 for the other night. How does 2,000 points make up for a sweltering hot room and ice cold pool. The weather outside was about 70. So it was more comfortable outside than in our room. November 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by creid45 Poor construction and room availability The rooms were th most noisy I have ever had while staying at a Westin. The walls were paper thin as well as the above and below noise. It was not the quality construction associated with the SPG chain. The halls had multiple level changes. In addition, there were only small rooms available, there was a lack of suites and comforts associated with a Westin. The staff were great, all levels of staff were engaging and professional. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SueW Excellent W enjoyed our stay, comfortable room, close to the strip, friendly employees. November 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CJNOUT Amazing attention to detail and Customer Service Brian at the reservations Counter was amazing! He was very conciensious to fulfill my special requests. Housekeeping was exceptional. I would HIGHLY recommend a Stay at this facility!! I will be back soon! November 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Davie12 The staff is honest & responsive The night Manager was very friendly and helpful with our player cards. My wife left her wallet in the room and didn't realize it until an hour later. She called the hotel and spoke with the Manager, Samantha. Samantha kept my wife on the line and sent a Security Agent to our room to see if the wallet was there and they found it. We drove back to the Westin to pick up the wallet. Everything was in place; we can't thank the staff enough for following through and being so honest. My wife was a disaster. Thank you! November 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ChicagoTraveler15 Hotel needs to be upgraded and needs better housekeeping The hotel is in a good location near the strip but not on it which made it a little easier to access during periods of heavy traffic. This is an older hotel not up to Westin standards. The bathroom had mold growing in the grout and was dirty (dust) in corners of the bathroom. The shower curtain was so long, I walked on it when in the shower. My bedside light was broken. The part where the lightbulb is screwed into the light was almost seared off and hanging by a thread under the lampshade and is probably a fire hazard. Room service was accurate and quick. However, on the last day, the room service waiter accidentally bumped the tray into a wall and a glass of iced tea fell off and shattered all over the carpet. Housekeeping came quickly. They picked up the shattered glass and vacuumed but did not clean the carpet in any other way so it was still wet and full of iced tea. So, cleanliness is a problem in this hotel for multiple reasons. Staff were friendly and helpful except in the Starbucks where they don't do many of the extras that other Starbucks will do like toast a bagel or provide butter instead of cream cheese.

Rated 5 out of 5 by keto1957 Great Location Awesome hotel just off the Vegas strip. Great music too. October 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mikec009 Outstanding! I attended a convention in Las Vegas (Wednesday to Friday) and we stayed at a large hotel on the strip. I extended my stay for the weekend but moved to the Westin Las Vegas Hotel and experienced a drastic upgrade! Yes, the Westin is not as palatial and opulent as some of the other strip hotels, but it's perfect for the business traveler and being a block from the strip means you don't have to battle with constant crowds. What a relief! I most appreciated the wonderful customer service from every employee that Westin is known for. The food and service at the Suede restaurant was outstanding. Lastly, I really appreciated the complimentary room WIFI that actually functioned properly. Excellent stay - thank-you! October 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tweetu Great Place and Hospitality. Our stay was very much pleased with the fabulous assistance on room decorations from Randi and excellent suite setup by Brian. Excellent express room service and commendable effort by Randi and her team. Spa packages were not in the best interest when compared across vegas. October 23, 2013

Pizza in Naples near Port
My husband and friends will be in Naples on a cruise in November and are looking for a place to have great pizza near the port.We only have about an hour, including getting there. Wish we had more time!
I'm not sure you can make it, because the port of Napoli is a huge area comprising many different docks and getting from the long docks to the city streets requires walking across large parking lots. So without knowing exactly where the ship is docking, it is hard to give reliable advice.
But if you want to make a mad dash for it, this might be your best bet: Pizzeria del Popolo in the piazza Mercato
Although pizza is a fast food, and some hole-in-the-wall places like this zip it out in the blink of an eye, they can also have a lot of customers and you have to wait your turn. Ask your crew to spend a few moments in advance reading up online about what to expect in a pizzeria so they know how to order what they want. The word for "to go" is "asporto" if you are running out of time and need to take it with you in a box.
Good luck!
I agree that an hour will be awfully short - the port area is large and Im not sure where your ship will be and now long it would take to get in. Even if you grabbed a cab, the time would be quite brief t to actually have a meal. However here is a list of very fine pizzerie in Naples http://www.lucianopignataro.it/a/le-4... - at least a couple of them would be fairly close. Also if you get onshore google maps indicates a fair number of pizza places on or near the big street that runs around the port, You might look into La Masardona, in the Mercato, for example http://www.lucianopignataro.it/a/napo...
re: jen kalb
Thanks. I've come to my senses and figured out a way to have a long,leisurely lunch. I'll check out the pizzeria link.

More on Mambo's, San Rafael
I went there for a lunchtime take-out order, and noticed that the hours had changed. They're no longer serving lunch M-Th, but do serve 11-11 Fri-Sun. Also, I spoke to the owner, who said that she will be adding some vegetarian options to the menu (still cooked homestyle), AND they will serve traditional mofongo as a special order. She suggested calling ahead, as mofongo takes some time. I'm going to try this next time, and will report back.
Thanks. Looking forward to your report. Don't care what anyone else thinks. I really like this place.
re: Mick Ruthven
The owner told me that she had no free time at all with the old hours. I actually prefer to have the 3 days of all-day dining available, since they were pretty strict about their lunch closing time. We're often looking for a late lunch/early dinner spot, so I do hope they manage to stick around.
re: gauchogirl
I'm not really sure if the service has improved, since I've been doing takeout. I will say that each time I've come in lately I've been greeted pleasantly, and the diners that were seated appeared to be taken care of. Overall, things just seemed to be moving a little better.
And, in the interest of equal time for Mambo's, here's a photo of its exterior.
I hope Las Camelias across the street paints itself a lurid violet.
Sol Food post and photo -
Since I did eat here, here's more.
The infamous neon palm trees light orange or green. Here's the green one -
As someone pointed out, the meu doesn't include the Cuban sandwich, but the kitchen will make one on request if it feels like it. Apparently this is also dependent on someone being available to run a couple doors down to the donut shop to buy a french roll. Takes a little time.
The sandwich is enormous with the roast pork and ham cut into thick slices, big slabs of swiss cheese and a big roll.
I must say this is the first time I've had Romaine lettuce on a Cuban. Overall impression was not salt, salt, salt, and not that great. The bread is grilled on the cut edge and not pressed. Too much meat, and the roast pork was just salty with little other seasoning or the craved garlic. Even when I drenched it with the mojo served with the tostones, the Cuban got boring awfully fast.
What I did love though were the tostones, shown here -
Much better than Sol Foods', liked the crisp edge and greater firmness to them, remarkably ungreasy. The mojo is delicious, made with vinegar and orange juice, plus garlic and other seasonings. No sour oranges, but very tasty nevertheless.

The Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens have been captured by artists since their creation in 1879. The aspect most frequently depicted is the south-east corner from Nicholson Street; then come views of the south entrance with the Hochgurtel fountain and pleasure lakes framing the magnificent façade.
The south-west corner of the building is poorly represented in artistic renditions, but some terrific images from the 1880s and early 1900s do exist, as these examples (all in the museum's collection) demonstrate.
Museum staff, archaeologists and architects working on the World Heritage, World Futures project studied these images carefully when planning the garden reconstruction. As artistic interpretations they cannot be taken literally, but they provide a sense of what the site must have looked like in its early decades, and how it was used by visitors to the Exhibition Building and Carlton Garden.

Bullwhips and Stock Whips from Kangaroo or Red Hide
Hand Built to suit you and your needs
Aussie Whip Maker - Red Hide
Red Hide is a type of cowhide that has gone through a specific tanning process. The Red Hide bullwhips are all hand crafted to fit you and your needs; custom built to suit your hand size and the type of work you specify.
Red Hide
Red Hide is the name given to a type of cowhide that has gone through a specific tanning process. As the name suggests the final product is deep red colored leather. The quality of any cowhide depends on the original hide. Scars can create weaknesses in the leather. Young cattle have more stretch in the hide, which is not desirable for whips. All leather will stretch but if the strands at the end of a whip stretch too much then they are more susceptible to break.
Australia's whips are truly the best in the world. This is not necessarily due to the fact that we have some of the best whip makers in the world, but also because we have some of the best leather for whips in the world.
Red Hide BullwhipsLoaded and balanced, these are great bullwhips to withstand a lot of wear and tear. The 12 plaits give them plenty of fluent motion. The variety of lengths from 7, 8 and 9 feet cater for people's personal preferences. Taller stronger people may prefer a longer whip.
Available in:
7, 8, and 9 foot x 12 plait Red Hide Bullwhips – These are the top of the range Bull Whips in terms of number of strands. 12 strands create a nice fluid whip. Personal preference will decide which length to choose. Taller stronger people may prefer a longer whip.
( N.B. Red Hide Bull Whips are available only in 7, 8, and 9 feet by 12 plait)
Red Hide Stock Whips
These loaded and balanced whips are recommended for people who prefer a heavier whip. They are a 6 plait, which gives greater weight to the whip. They are also leather loaded, which means that more weight is put into the belly of the whip. The belly of any whip is the most important component. If a whip has no belly it will not crack effectively. All Aussie Whip Maker whips have the appropriate amount of weight in the belly.
A loaded and balanced whip refers to a whip that has the right amount weight in the belly in the right spot through out the whip. The length of the handle is also matched according to the length of the whip. These whips come with an 8 plait red hide handle that is popular for greater grip on the handle.
Red Hide Available in:
3 ft kids whip
Ideal for kids up to 7-8 years
4 ft yard whip
Suitable for kids 8-10 years, also used when stockmen use motor bikes or trikes and by stockmen for close work such as in cattle yards - hence the name yard whip.
5, 6, 7, feet in 4 Plait
These are Stockmen's/women's work whips. The 5, 6 and 7 foot Red Hide Stock Whips all come with a 4 plait red hide handle. The Red Hide gives the handle greater grip, which is needed on work whips.
5 foot Red Hide Stock Whip
A great whip for anyone starting off in whip cracking and wanting a whip that will take a lot of wear and tear. Great for any kid around the age of 10 and up. What I would class as a good all round whip, whether it be for stock work or routines.
6 foot Red Hide Stock Whip
This is the preferred whip of the majority of stockmen and women. It is the most common whip used off horseback, if a short whip is used off a horse then it is has a greater chance of cracking in the horse's ear or on the rump. You need a longer whip that will crack further away from the horse. This is also a good length whip for routines. The longer whips give a more flowing and graceful style.
7 foot Red Hide Stock Whip
This is a common whip used by tall strong men who prefer a longer whip for a greater noise. Also a popular used whip off horses where people need greater reach. This is particularly true for stockmen who are working with wilder cattle that are inclined to run at the horses. The stockmen may need a longer whip to keep the wilder cattle at their distance.
NOTE - Red Hide
- The 6 plait Red Hide Stock whip is available only in 6 and 7 foot lengths, on an 8 plait half plait handle.
- The following Red Hide whips are in 4 plait only - 3 feet kids whip, 4ft yard whip, 5ft stock whip, 6ft stock whip, 7ft stock whip.
See our Bullwhip and Stockwhip pages
We guarantee our product and its delivery safe to your hands. If there is any problem, we will sort it out. Thousands of people world wide own and love our whips... If you want quality and traditional workmanship, trust an Aussie Whip Maker whip!

The author's intentions are clear from the very beginning: he wants to change the way computation theory is taught to undergraduates. He says, "The abstract branch of theoretical computer science that we shall call 'computation theory' typically appears in undergraduate academic curricula in a form that obscures both the mathematical concepts that are central to the various components of the theory and the relevance of the theory to the typical student." Accordingly, he presents an approach that emphasizes the mathematical underpinnings of computation theory. He believes that a deep understanding of the "big mathematical ideas" and operational control over them are the best ways for the typical student to incorporate these ideas into practical use. The intended audience includes advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.
The pillars of computation theory are three, according to the author: the concepts of state, encoding and nondeterminism. State refers to a stable configuration of a system, something that "comprises the fragment of its history that allows it to behave correctly in the future." Encoding is essentially a mapping of one computational problem into another that allows a solution in one to be translated to a solution in the other. Nondeterminism is a fundamental notion that explains the apparent computational difficulty of many important computational problems. Among other things, it incorporates the P vs. NP question and the theory of NP-completeness. The reader will struggle to find explicit definitions of these three pillars in the text; the author's approach suggests that we will come to know them when we see them.
The organization of the book follows naturally from the three pillars approach. There is an introductory section with mathematical preliminaries that includes, for example, a discussion of formal languages as well as background on graphs and trees. The section of the book that focuses on state revolves around the Myhill-Nerode theorem that gives a rigorous characterization of the notion of state. This section also includes an extended discussion of finite state automata and their generalization as abstract online automata.
The treatment of encoding begins with a discussion of countability and uncountability, and then moves on to the meat of computability theory. Starting with representation of computational problems as formal languages, the author proceeds to the halting problem, reducibility and the concept of semidecidability.
Complexity theory is the focus of the section on nondeterminism. The discussion begins with nondeterministic automata and Turing machines, continues with descriptions of time and space complexity and then defines and explores the classes P and NP, NP-completeness and NP-hard problems.
This approach to computation theory has an elegance that is mathematically appealing. But that elegance comes with a pedagogical cost. The author's treatment demands a level of mathematical maturity and comfort with abstraction that may be a significant challenge for the average student. A typical computer science student might not be able to make meaningful practical connections without a good deal of additional support from an instructor. For the rarer student whose interests run to theoretical computer science, this would be a challenging and attractive book.
The author provides a set of sample exercises at the end of the book. These are not clearly associated with specific sections in the text. While this is not a bad idea in principle, this is another feature likely to work much better with strong students. For more typical students there are no exercises directly tied to the immediate text and few anywhere that are more routine — the kind many students need to ground themselves in the subject.

Perfect protein bars!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The smores flavor is my absolute favorite, but all these flavors are pretty good. I don't dislike a flavor yet, these bars are a great protein bar for the outdoors. 1 bar is 20 grams of protein! These bars are thick and very filling, I usually eat mine in 2 parts or share with a friend. These bars would work as a meal replacement. These bars are very expensive if you purchase individually, I highly recommend grabbing a 12-pack!

Auburn QB Cam Newton isn't the only draft prospect whose character has come under attack. Coaches rave about Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett's arm and his ability to make all the throws but worry about his ability to diagnose NFL defenses and have challenged him in interviews about his past alcohol use and rumors of drug abuse.
"There been times when I have not come off the best way," Mallett told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "Once people get to know me, they will find out what a great kid and great person I am.
"People have called me cocky and arrogant but I have a lot of confidence in our team and the people around me. I wasn't trying to make it sound like it was all about me because it wasn't.
"I can lead a team to a championship. I can learn quickly and adjust on the run."

Striking workers employed by Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold's subsidiary in Papua have dropped their minimum wage increase demands from $7.50 to $4 an hour, the All Indonesian Workers Union said on Monday.
Virgo Solosa, an official from the union, known as the SPSI, told the Jakarta Globe that they considered the demands, up from the current minimum wage of $1.50 an hour, to be "the best solution for all."
Virgo said Freeport management were currently offering $3 an hour.
He said the union was also demanding that striking workers that had been fired by the company be rehired without sanctions.
"It should also be applied to contract workers," he said. "There should be no sanctions and both sides should learn a lesson from the strike."
The Grasberg mine is estimated to be running at 5 percent of its full capacity during the crippling strike.
Virgo said the $4 an hour figure was approved, employees would work to catch up on the lost production.
The union and Freeport management are meeting again today.

Candid Camera: People Who Got Exposed And Put On Blast On Tape In The Most Embarrassing Ways- By Bossip Staff Categories: Caught Creepin', Caught Looking Busted, Divorces
Nobody wants to be put on blast, but it's even worse to be put on blast as a celebrity when millions of people can see it. Here are some celebrities that had cover-ups and they got put on blast either on camera, their cell phones or some other random form of technology.
Rick Ross - Rozay had everyone fooled into thinking he was whipping work in the kitchen. People bought into the hood image, but that fell apart when photographs of him in his cop uniform as a parole officer hit the world. Fortunately for him, he was able to bounce back. But it was still super embarrassing.
Ray J - He was all "I. TOUCHED. THAT. N*GGA!!!!" about his Friday Night Sissy Fight with Fabolous. But that's all he did...touch Fab. When the real footage dropped, Ray was singing a different tune. And he'll probably be singing that tune next weekend in Floyd Mayweather's living room when he reprises his role as Floyd's personal Chuck E' Cheese's puppet.
Shaq - Diesel has had all his plus-sized dirty laundry exposed in the last couple of years. He got saucy texts sent out to his side-pieces hit the net. We wouldn't be surprised if his Big Diesel picture hit WSHH soon.
Kobe Bryant - We all know how he got caught in Colorado. But the best part came from his police interrogation where Kobe wondered why his buddy Shaq never got caught even though he "does this all the time". Ouch. Recorded dry snitching on your teammate? Bad form.
R. Kelly - Oh you DON'T have a thing for little girls? Of course you don't. So who was that underage young'n you were peeing on in that video? Right. Though the court said he didn't do it, the video proved it all.
Young Buck - Buck is a hardcore rapper. He's hood. At least he was until he got caught recorded on 50 Cent's phone crying like a little itchbay about his problems. He pretty much hasn't put out a song since.
Leann Rimes - Tabloids always lie, right? Still, they caught Leann and her extramarital affair with Eddie that eventually led to their marriage. That's a bad way to get caught.
Tiger Woods - Tiger got caught messing with those low-end Becky's but the worst part came from the voicemails he left with his whores. He was all "this is Tiger Woods, y'know, the golfer. The one with the wife." When those messages and texts came out, it was all over for him.
Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake - They denied and denied and denied their chop sessions. But a recent hack revealed that Timbo was chopping down those tiny cakes. So much for him trying to get back with Biel.

Mitt Romney Is The Top 1%
A picture of a money-grubbing top Republican presidential candidate throwing hundred-dollar bills around like they are pennies has surfaced? No way, I don't believe it… A photo of Mitt Romney and his high finance buddies playing around with $100 dollar bills like there worthless is flying around the web today. The best part is the photo is black and white which almost makes being a douchbag look classy. [Gawker]

Ticonderoga Students attending schools in the Adirondack Park are at a disadvantage.
That's the feeling of Ticonderoga Central School District officials, who are asking the state to create a special fund to help finance education within the Blue Line.
"The children living within the Adirondack Park are being under-served as a result of the inability to financially support their educational institutions beyond the local property tax," said John McDonald, Ti school superintendent. "This problem will continue to grow unless communities within the park can grow their tax base through economic development. However, that is not a likely scenario based on the regulations that exist to keep the park as a natural preserve to benefit future generations."
The Ti school board has adopted a resolution asking the state to create a special fund for Adirondack schools and is asking local school districts and other officials to join in the campaign.
"It may be pie in the sky, but we need to do something," McDonald said. "The reductions in state (school) aid and lack of economic growth place a tremendous burden on local taxpayers. The property tax levy is our only source of revenue.
"The new property tax cap adds to this dilemma as it now limits the only source of revenue schools can influence to meet the rising costs of mandates, pension, health insurance and other elements related to operating a school system," he said.
The money for the education fund could be generated by those who use the Adirondack Park, McDonald suggested.
"Since the Adirondack Park was established and is constantly touted as the 'playground' for the state, it's only fair that those who benefit from it should help those who live in it," McDonald said.
Besides limited economic development, Adirondack Park schools have other issues, McDonald noted. Most are rural and small, many with declining enrollments.

The sky's no longer the limit for Land Rover North America as an LR3 (Discovery 3 in Australia) has accomplished something no vehicle has ever done before.
In the second instalment of the 'Designed for the Extraordinary' marketing campaign which kicked off earlier this year, a 2006 LR3 (Discovery 3) is filmed boarding a C-130 Hercules cargo plane. Once airborne the Hercules crew used the LR3's navigation system to direct the plane from Nice, France to the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. At a height of 2,743 metres (9,000 feet), the navigation system equipped in the LR3 was able to accurately direct the plane to its destination.
University of Texas at Austin researchers lead by Ivan Ramirez have discovered what they believe to be our sun's sibling, a so-called "long-lost brother" believed to have resulted from the same space cloud as our star. The discovery could increase understanding of our solar system.
The Toshiba Corporation is in the process of buying up the better part of OCZ Technology, the maker of consumer and enterprise solid state drive (SSD) storage devices. OCZ last month filed for bankruptcy, having been unable to comply with its loan terms with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. The purchase price is $35 million and is being made through a bankruptcy auction process.
Today the OCZ Technology Group, Inc., made clear their state of affairs, and things are looking bleak. The creators of high-performance solid state drives for computers of all sorts noted that they'd be filing for bankruptcy and that Toshiba had entered an offer to purchase their assets. These two companies have already substantially completed negotiations and OCZ noted that they believed all material terms had been agreed to.
Ever since scientists determined Pluto as no longer an official planet in our solar system, we frankly started to forget about the tiny rock floating around outside of our solar system. However, scientists are making the dwarf planet relevant again, and they now need our help to name Pluto's fourth and fifth moons, which were just recently-discovered.
We don't know how T-Mobile truly feels regarding getting left out on the next device coming from Apple this fall, but we do have some leaked staff notes explaining how staff can combat customers and explain the Android offerings vs the iPhone 5 iPhone 4S.
Well folks, today I've just received an awesome Android smartphone thanks to Samsung. This being the Galaxy S II for AT&T I'm a little excited that these are finally here in the US. I've gone ahead and snapped a few pictures for all you hopeful readers planning to pick one up. What lies below is our quick hands-on video as well as a few lovely photos of the AT&T flavored SGSII. We've seen plenty of the Galaxy S II already, but this is the closest to the original (international model) here in the US as the others have a larger display. More details can be seen below.
T-Mobile's version of the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy S II was revealed at the big US debut back on August 30 along with variations for AT&T and the Now Network. However, T-Mobile has yet to confirm a launch date for its version nor reveal the processor. But now, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy S Support team may have let that last bit slip via Twitter.

"Obama often speaks as if he is an outside observer of his own administration — condemning excessively long prison sentences while hardly ever using his clemency power to shorten them, sounding the alarm about his own abuses of executive power in the name of fighting terrorism, worrying about the threat to privacy posed by surveillance programs he authorized. Now here he is, trying to distance himself from his own administration's refusal to reclassify marijuana." -- Jacob Sullum in his piece, Obama, Who Evidently Has Not Read the Controlled Substances Act, Denies That He Has the Power to Reclassify Marijuana

And then proceed to rip into him with an ad hominum attack, completely failing to respond to the actual argument.
Rather than complain that he's an echo chamber writer, how about actually saying what, if any of those statements was wrong. Obama has repeatedly said one thing while doing the exact opposite, up to recently condoning THC use in words without the actual concrete actions to support them, when it would take mere hours for him to reclassify THC away from Schedule 1.
Obama certainly appears as though he has no real control over the military complex.

Recipe by Keiko
"I've found a lot of recipes for Buffalo Chicken Soup but none of them seemed just right. After tailoring elements from all the recipes I found into the perfect one, I came up with this. This soup is creamy and smooth with a hint of spice from the buffalo sauce. Serve it up with a dollop of sour cream and some mozzarella sprinkled on top."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
3 stalks
celery, diced
1 small
onion, diced
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
half-and-half cream
3 cups
1 cube
chicken bouillon
2 cups
cubed cooked chicken
1/4 cup
buffalo wing sauce, or more to taste
1 1/2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
This was excellent. I made a few tweaks that I think contributed to the success. In addition to the onion and celery, I sauteed two hatch chiles (could use anaheim peppers) to give a little heat / flavor. I used 2% milk instead of half-and-half -- there is enough fat content already, and the flour creates all the thickness necessary. I then used 3 cups of chicken stock instead of the 1/3 diluted ratio suggested, which reduces the amount of salt needed but adds a lot of flavor. I used two large roast chicken breasts for the chicken. For the hot sauce, Frank's is a must for authenticity, though it is not particularly hot, so 1/2 cup was about right for me. I would also advise that you wait until the soup is essentially 100% done before adding hte cheese, and then add it in small batches so that it melts in evenly. All in all an excellent soup and one I will make again.
If you like wings, this is a good recipe. I grew tired of it quickly, and found it needed more "chunks of something else" in there to keep it interesting.

My husband and I loved this soup. I forgot to buy celery, but didn't miss it. I used leftover chicken from the Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken from this sight, which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was easy and outstanding. I got two great meals from a $4 chicken. If you like buffalo wings, you'll really like this soup. Try it with a salad and the dressing you usually like on your wings--ranch or blue cheese. Enjoy!
simply Awesome! My family love it!
When my husband said, "this actually really does taste like a buffalo chicken wings" I knew we had a 5 star recipe. I wanted to add carrots (but mine were gone bad) because I think that will only add to the complete buffalo chicken wing experience, so I definitely would add a carrot or 2 next time. Also, top the soup with a little crumbled blue cheese for even more authenticity. Other than that, the recipe is perfect in it's ratios. Yum!
Yummy. Needed a little garlic powder, but that's it. Used 2 cans low sodium chicken broth in lieu of boullion/water and then a bit of boullion granules for extra chicken flavor. Used leftover Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken from this site. Added a bit more buffalo sauce too. Yum Yum Yum. if you're a buffalo lover -- this is a great way to go!
This recipe was a big hit! I made it on a whim after a search for what to do with some leftover chicken I had. It tastes like slightly spicy cream of chicken soup. The only changes I made were to boil my (bone in, skinless) chicken breasts and then use the strained boiling water instead of using plain water and a bouillon cube. Looking forward to the leftovers for lunch today!
Even better the next day! This soup only gets better as the flavors infuse with each other. When making it, I find blending the flour with the half&half before adding to the pot keeps it from clumping. We also like to use Pepper-Jack cheese in place of the cheddar for added spice and occasionally dropping a little crumbled blue cheese on top of a bowlful for the full "wing" experience.

Good phone, hard to access the users guide, to find answers.

It is a good phone, but I do not know how to access the voice you hear when dialing my number, or how to lessen the number of rings before the answering machine comes on.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Cheap phone for a cheap price. Do not buy!
By Phonemom3
from Boston, MA, USA
I thought I was saving some money by buying a less expensive phone. Many times I have tried to answer the phone only to be disconnected. I have also , many times, pressed "talk" and have been unable to get a dial tone. "connecting" flashes endlessly while I wait. The same thing happens when attempting to read caller id and my phone book. This phone is a piece of junk. I am currently looking at new phones to replace this one. Do not buy this phone!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
The first part of the volume is actually quite good with many tense and interesting scenes. Something of an antidote to the boring padding that marrs the earlier volumes, but there is nothing to justify making his readers suffer through those sub-standard sub-plots. There is some ropey writing, especially where he's overly earnest in bewailing the deaths of characters that, despite the 2000 pages of this long novel, he's not taken the time to really make us care about. While I can understand why this is the only commonly read section of the Musketeers' saga after The Three Musketeers, my main emotion on finishing it was relief.
I was surprised that the book was very different from the movie! It is the tale of the failed attempt on the part of two former musketeers to place the identical twin on the throne of Louis XIV. All of this takes place in the first few chapters and the rest is Louis getting even.
Well, that was a real downer. People die, noble plots are thwarted, good men are sent to prison. The title is a little misleading, because surprisingly little of the book is about said man - the brother of the king, whom Aramis tries to install in his place from the very first chapter. I still love all four Musketeers, but this story seemed less about them and more about French politics. I think. To be honest, I had a lot of trouble following it. I kept confusing people, especially since most of the noblemen had two or three names each. It was nice to rejoin Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and d'Artagnan, but I would have rather spent the time with them off on adventures, and not as old men who barely see each other anymore. I suppose it's not a bad way to round off your Musketeer collection, but definitely don't start here.
This translation was not so great. I'm not convinced, even in Dumas's time, that people would say "What does that signify?" instead of "What does that mean?" or "Do you comprehend?" instead of "Do you understand?" It made everything sound stilted and weird.
Now that's a saga. Not this book specifically, but the whole of the d'Artagnan novels (or romances as they are often styled). I can hardly organize my thoughts because the end affected me so much. I cried. Seriously. This is only the third book to ever make me cry (counting Of Mice and Men which really shouldn't...it makes everyone cry, doesn't it?)
I came to this section of the story with preconceived notions of what the story would be. Not from any one source, but from this novel's reputation in general. I thought there would be a lot more about the twins, the switch and the repercussions of that switch. Strangely, it is all over and done with very quickly. Fouquet spoils everything by being an idiot and Aramis and Porthos have to literally run for their lives. Phillippe is put into yet another prison and is never heard of again. It was so strange. I kept expecting d'Artagnan to spring the guy or something, but no, he deposits him on the island, mask in place and that's it. The rest of the story is about Fouquet's downfall, Louis's perfection of his power and what happens to the four as a result.
Their friendship is one to end all friendships. Porthos forgives Aramis for his duplicity. Athos wastes away with Raoul gone. Aramis schemes mightily to get them out of their predicament. d'Artagnan's attempts to save them are thwarted by Louis's counter-orders and secret spies. It's painful to watch. Especially since I really wanted (and expected) them to retire into old age in one of Porthos's estates, sipping Alsace wine and talking about the glory days. OMG I was not prepared for what an absolute downer the whole ending was. I had tears streaming down my face for all of the deaths. Especially Porthos's since his was one of such sacrifice and his character was so much larger than life. At the very end I had the urge to go right back to The Three Musketeers and start all over again.
And with that I have turned the last page and yes, it ends on 5 stars. It was such a wonderful adventure. 2700 pages of wonderful characters, stories, plot developments, schemes, adventure, love, witty dialogues and just pure revel-in-the-moment page-turning imaginings. It was everything I wanted to read and more and it's sad to think this is the last book. It'll be hard I think to go back to the book 2 that I had skipped to read this.
Going back to what the editor wrote:
""Bragelonne", too long, too mixed, too ambiguous -- and with too much melancholy -- will never have, despite our intentions, the notoriety of the other two. Consequentially though, it prolongs them and completes them. "
I disagree with the beginning of this thought. The book was instead just right, perfectly adjusted and well plotted. And yes, it completes the series marvelously. What a wonderful feeling.
If I were to have one complaint it would be about the final two chapters and for those who do not know how the story ends, feel free to stop reading here now.
The book was originally going to end when d'Artagnan is in the cemetery, however, the director of the magazine in which this book was published insisted that d'Artagnan be given a death "as much for us as for you". I disagree with that statement. The book had already ended beautifully with d'Artagnan contemplating death and ultimately saying that God would tell him when his time would be as he declared for the others. And that's what it should have been for d'Artagnan was always master of his fate. Instead the end was cheapened because Maquet (Dumas' writing partner) did what the director said. Our hearts had just experienced an ending and then we were brought right back into a story unwillingly just to be spit back out again a chapter later. It was bewildering and made his death comic. Not the end d'Artagnan deserved, despite what the director thought.
However, that is my only scrutiny. Otherwise, the book is a triumph for me.
