Great gifts Review by Michelle
Value Quality Price
We have bought a few of these over the years as gifts for friends, and we have the penguin one for our 2.5 year old. They are perfect toddler bags - they are virtually indestructible, they are easy to wash, and they adjust easily. Whenever we've given them as gifts, we always hear back that they are a huge hit.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Our 2.5 year old uses his bag all the time - he fills it it with toys, and off he goes. We haven't had a chance to use the cold-pack feature, but I think we will this summer. (Posted on 1/4/11)

NORFOLK A long line of hungry neighbors and churchgoers formed out the door of the Visitation Parish Center at the Church of the Visitation, 3 Morris St., waiting to try several different ethnic dishes during the 30th annual Summer Social on Sunday.
The community came together between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to celebrate another year together and contribute to the church.
Its a church fundraiser, but its also intended to be a social event to draw people together in the summer, said the Rev. John R. Murphy, whos been leading the congregation for two years. Norfolk is a community with richness in the ethnic origins of the people. We try to highlight the background of the community with the foods that we share.
Hungarian, French, Italian, Irish, Mexican and American foods spread across tables, filling the parish center with several delicious aromas.
Nancy E. Demo, Norwood, has been chairwoman of the social three years in a row and has been a member of the church since 1990. She said the event began 30 years ago as an ice cream social, but has since grown into a much bigger event with about 200 people participating.
It has evolved into a summer social and festival of foods, she said. They thought it would be nice for our neighbors to share their cultural menu.
Ms. Demo said the event is a lot of work for everybody to put together and shes been helping out for more than 20 years.
A lot of what we do benefits the whole community, not just the church, she said. A lot of people use our facility other than just church people.
Under a large white tent in the churchyard, people sat at tables enjoying their meals while listening to live music from the Sweet Adelines Acapella North Chorus and Ray and Friends, a band of two fiddles and two guitars.
Many adults and children enjoyed the pastor plunge game that was set up in the yard, encouraging people to throw balls at a target to release the church leader from his perch into an icy pool of water.
The Rev. Andrew J. Amyot retired from the Church of the Visitation after 17 years leading the parish.
Its wonderful to see the number of people and its nice to get together, he said. It gathers the community together, but it draws from other communities as well.
Margaret D. Shepard was managing the beverages during the social. She said shes lived in Norfolk for 73 years.
Some of the people you dont see for a long time and its just wonderful to see them out, she said. Everybody has a wonderful time.

On Windows, the recommended way to run MySQL is to install it as a Windows service, so that MySQL starts and stops automatically when Windows starts and stops. A MySQL server installed as a service can also be controlled from the command line using NET commands, or with the graphical Services utility. Generally, to install MySQL as a Windows service you should be logged in using an account that has administrator rights.
The MySQL Notifier GUI can also be used to monitor the status of the MySQL service.
The Services utility (the Windows Service Control Manager) can be found in the Windows Control Panel (under Administrative Tools on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Server 2003). To avoid conflicts, it is advisable to close the Services utility while performing server installation or removal operations from the command line.
Before installing MySQL as a Windows service, you should first stop the current server if it is running by using the following command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqladmin"
-u root shutdown
If the MySQL
root user account has a
password, you need to invoke mysqladmin
with the
-p option and supply the password
when prompted.
This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility
mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell
it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL
root user, which is the default
administrative account in the MySQL grant system.
Users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Windows.
Install the server as a service using this command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install
The service-installation command does not start the server. Instructions for that are given later in this section.
To make it easier to invoke MySQL programs, you can add the path
name of the MySQL
bin directory to your
Windows system
PATH environment variable:
On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and select Properties.
Next select the Advanced tab from the System Properties menu that appears, and click the Environment Variables button.
Under System Variables, select Path, and then click the Edit button. The Edit System Variable dialogue should appear.
Place your cursor at the end of the text appearing in the
space marked Variable Value. (Use the
End key to ensure that your cursor is
positioned at the very end of the text in this space.) Then
enter the complete path name of your MySQL
bin directory (for example,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.5\bin), and there should be a
semicolon separating this path from any values present in
this field. Dismiss this dialogue, and each dialogue in
turn, by clicking OK until all of the
dialogues that were opened have been dismissed. You should
now be able to invoke any MySQL executable program by typing
its name at the DOS prompt from any directory on the system,
without having to supply the path. This includes the
servers, the mysql client, and all MySQL
command-line utilities such as mysqladmin
and mysqldump.
You should not add the MySQL
directory to your Windows
PATH if you are
running multiple MySQL servers on the same machine.
You must exercise great care when editing your system
PATH by hand; accidental deletion or
modification of any portion of the existing
PATH value can leave you with a
malfunctioning or even unusable system.
The following additional arguments can be used when installing the service:
You can specify a service name immediately following the
--install option. The default service name
If a service name is given, it can be followed by a single
option. By convention, this should be
to specify the name of an option file from which the server
should read options when it starts.
The use of a single option other than
--defaults-file is possible
but discouraged.
--defaults-file is more
flexible because it enables you to specify multiple startup
options for the server by placing them in the named option
You can also specify a
option following the service name. This causes the server to
run using the
LocalService Windows
account that has limited system privileges. This account is
available only for Windows XP or newer. If both
--defaults-file and
--local-service are given following the
service name, they can be in any order.
For a MySQL server that is installed as a Windows service, the following rules determine the service name and option files that the server uses:
If the service-installation command specifies no service
name or the default service name (
following the
--install option, the server
uses the a service name of
MySQL and
reads options from the
[mysqld] group in
the standard option files.
If the service-installation command specifies a service name
other than
MySQL following the
--install option, the server uses that
service name. It reads options from the
[mysqld] group and the group that has the
same name as the service in the standard option files. This
enables you to use the
[mysqld] group for
options that should be used by all MySQL services, and an
option group with the service name for use by the server
installed with that service name.
If the service-installation command specifies a
--defaults-file option after
the service name, the server reads options the same way as
described in the previous item, except that it reads options
only from the named file and ignores the standard option
As a more complex example, consider the following command:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld"
--install MySQL --defaults-file=C:\my-opts.cnf
Here, the default service name (
MySQL) is
given after the
--install option. If no
--defaults-file option had been
given, this command would have the effect of causing the server
to read the
[mysqld] group from the standard
option files. However, because the
--defaults-file option is
present, the server reads options from the
[mysqld] option group, and only from the
named file.
On Windows, if the server is started with the
--defaults-file and
--install options,
--install must be first.
mysqld.exe will attempt to start
the MySQL server.
You can also specify options as Start parameters in the Windows Services utility before you start the MySQL service.
Once a MySQL server has been installed as a service, Windows starts the service automatically whenever Windows starts. The service also can be started immediately from the Services utility, or by using a NET START MySQL command. The NET command is not case sensitive.
When run as a service, mysqld has no access
to a console window, so no messages can be seen there. If
mysqld does not start, check the error log to
see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the
cause of the problem. The error log is located in the MySQL data
directory (for example,
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL
Server 5.5\data). It is the file with a
suffix of
When a MySQL server has been installed as a service, and the
service is running, Windows stops the service automatically when
Windows shuts down. The server also can be stopped manually by
using the
Services utility, the NET
STOP MySQL command, or the mysqladmin
shutdown command.
You also have the choice of installing the server as a manual
service if you do not wish for the service to be started
automatically during the boot process. To do this, use the
--install-manual option rather than the
--install option:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install-manual
To remove a server that is installed as a service, first stop it
if it is running by executing NET STOP MySQL.
Then use the
--remove option to
remove it:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --remove
If mysqld is not running as a service, you can start it from the command line. For instructions, see Section 18.104.22.168, "Starting MySQL from the Windows Command Line".
If you encounter difficulties during installation. see Section 2.3.8, "Troubleshooting a Microsoft Windows MySQL Server Installation".

In case you receive "The system cannot find the file specified", remember that you have to install the service with the absolute path, in my case "C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --install". I added the \bin to the windows path, and I was installing the service only with "mysqld --install".

As mentioned earlier by another user, I fell into the trap of adding MySQL to start as a service via a command like
C:\> mysqld --install
The service is reported as being installed successfully, however, under the Services panel it shows the executable path as 'C:\mysqld' when in fact it is located under 'C:\mysql\bin'. I was working under the assumption that the mysql\bin directory had been added to the system PATH variable, but really you need to use absolute file paths when installing services. In my case, I used;
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --install MySQL --defaults-file=C:\mysql\my.ini
This starts the service automatically with Windows bootup, and will load the my.ini configuration file which you have to place within the mysql directory. For the first time however, you will need to start the mysql service manually, since the earlier command makes mysql start and end with windows shutdowns and restarts.
net start mysql
|Posted by bob eff on June 8 2008 4:16am
|[Delete] [Edit]
If you have problems installing the service on Windows Vista, just run the normal install and add the service manually with the following command:
use the sc create command in a dos window to add the service:
sc create MySQL start= auto DisplayName= MySQL binPath= c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1\bin\mysqld.exe
then if you need to alter any parameters, use the administrative tools/services utility
|Posted by Baruch Atta on January 14 2010 5:49pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Another "got-ya"... Make sure your my.ini file is in your MySQL directory, and the variables are pointing to the correct directories.
|Posted by Rich Wingerter on July 5 2011 3:09am
|[Delete] [Edit]
In order to overcome the "The system cannot find the file specified" message, I had to use the short 8dot3 names because my command program would not take the long names in quotes. Since I have mysql installed under EasyPHP on the D: drive, I had to use:
D:\progra~2\easyph~1.0\mysql\bin\mysqld --install
to get to mysqld in
D:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-126.96.36.199\mysql\bin
You can get the short names with the directory command:
|Posted by Dario Fumagalli on October 9 2013 8:00am
|[Delete] [Edit]
Beware, by reading these instructions it sounds like a name for the service is optional.
It's absolutely not, if you don't use a service name you get a cryptic:
Failed to install the service (Couldn't create service)
error message, that points to all but to this simple issue of not indicating a name.
|Posted by gur lavie on December 5 2013 7:55am

If you get the message "Can't install/remove the service"
Just make sure you run the CMD windows as Administrator

ATV Accident Increase In Florida Follows National Trend
By Olivia Langdon on December 11th, 2013 | Last updated: January 8, 2014 at 1:25 pm
ATV-related crashes occurred at a rate of about one per week in 2012 and 2013 in North Central Florida, and children were frequently among the injured or dead. Riders and officials alike agree: basic safety precautions and tighter focus on the state's helmet law would help limit tragedies.

At a time when we so often hear about the wrongdoings of our youth, it's good to know an event such as this is well-attended. Those kids should be commended for their actions.
Joining hands and praying around a flagpole in front of school in the early morning hours is not for everyone, and that's OK. If it's not for you, no problem — but for those who do want to participate, we applaud the school for giving them the opportunity to do so.
It's unfortunate that society dictates whether or not we can allow activities pertaining to politics and religion to continue. From saying the Pledge of Allegiance in our classrooms or a prayer before a sporting event, there are many who think these traditions shouldn't be allowed. We agree that people shouldn't be forced to participate, but we also believe those that want to should be able to do so.
The Michigan House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 4934 requiring classes in public schools to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each day. At the same time, the bill prohibits compelling a student to recite the pledge.
We are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world, and we are afforded many freedoms. Having the opportunity to express them by saying the Pledge of Allegiance in our classrooms or praying in front of the school should be a right for those who wish to participate.

Comments about Marmot Jena Jacket (Women's):
I haven't bought a down jacket before, since I recall puffy jackets as a kid being stiff, heavy, and inflexible. Glad I tried this one. It's very light and doesn't seem to restrict my movement at all. A size small is a bit large (I'm 5'2", about 100 pounds) that I can easily layer a fleece and light sweater under, though it seems warm enough without. The gray color is pretty, and it feels well made. Good pockets, too. All in all, I really like this jacket.

DEKALB Responding to customer demand for its products, Corning Inc. is planning to expand the size of its Canton manufacturing plant by 16,000 square feet and hire additional employees.
The facility on McAdoo Road, DeKalb, is referred to as the Canton plant and produces specialized glass products for the telecommunications industry, the U.S. Department of Defense and the aerospace industry.
Corning is experiencing growth in its customer base and needs space for working inventory to accommodate this growth, Corning spokesman Joseph M. Dunning said Monday. Its a good-sized addition that will be used for production and inventory.
Mr. Dunning declined to release specifics about the expansion, such as whether the company will be manufacturing a new product or increasing production of an existing product.
For competitive reasons, we cant be specific, he said.
Products manufactured at the Canton plant include radomes such as heat-resistant missile nose cones for the defense industry, and Polarcor, an optical glass, for the telecommunications and other industries.
Eventually the expansion will lead to the hiring of new employees, but the number of additional workers has not yet been determined. Construction is expected to begin this spring and finish in the fall.
We havent broken ground yet, Mr. Dunning said. Were still in the planning stages.
Contacted Monday, DeKalb Town Supervisor John M. Frary said he was pleased to hear the news.
I think its fantastic any time a local industry wants to expand in the north country and utilize the workforce in this area, he said.
Larry D. Denesha, who served as town supervisor until Jan. 1, when Mr. Frary took the seat, said the expansion also will increase the towns property tax base.
Its going to bring additional jobs and help the tax base. The trickle-down effect is huge, he said.
David T. Lucht took over as Canton plant manager in August, replacing Peter J. Aagaard. At that time, company officials said about 200 people worked at the Canton plant.

HENDERSON HARBOR Fort Drum soldiers will have an opportunity to navigate deeper waters around the north country with the donation of a boat from the family of Lt. Gen. Paul G. Cerjan, the 10th Mountain Divisions former assistant commander.
Patricia H. Cerjan, Gen. Cerjans widow, said she and her husband had owned the boat since 2005, but for the past few years the 32-foot Uniflite boat saw limited use, which gave her the idea of donating it to support the recreational offerings of the post her husband loved.
The mosaic fit together, she said.
Gen. Cerjan was one of a number of leaders who helped develop the post after the division was assigned to the installation in the mid-1980s, and also helped build community groups such as the Fort Drum Steering Council, now known as the Fort Drum Regional Liaison Organization, and the Northern New York-Fort Drum Chapter of the Association of the United States Army. He died in Florida in April 2011 at the age of 72.
The boat, featuring the divisions logo on the back, is named Climb to Glory III, representative of the divisions motto.
There was no other name for a boat in his mind, said Timothy M. Cerjan, Gen. Cerjans youngest son. The 10th was always on his mind.
Harold E. Greer, director of the posts Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation office, said the large boat was something the program would never buy on its own, and would allow groups of soldiers to go out into deeper waters than they could with its collection of smaller boats.
Weve never had that capacity, he said. He added that resources such as boats allow soldiers, many of whom come from outside the area, to get a better understanding of the regions natural resources.
Mrs. Cerjan said her favorite memory of owning the boat was going to Sackets Harbor with her husband and three children and diving off the back of the boat, which she hoped would continue with the new users of the boat.
Maybe theyll jump in the water and play too, she said.
Others attending the short ceremony at South Bay Marina were Brig. Gen. Mark J. ONeil, deputy commander for operations, Mr. Greer, and Michael T. Plummer, fellow 1960 West Point graduate with Gen. Cerjan and president of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division, along with a handful of soldiers representing the posts Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program.
During the ceremony, state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, presented Mrs. Cerjan a copy of the bill formally naming Interstate 781 the Paul Cerjan Memorial Highway. The road was dedicated in December.

Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Cultureby Ariel Levy
"The picture that Levy paints is more than a little grim: raunch culture, which is essentially misogynist, callow, simplistic and ubiquitous, breeds women-hating-women who angle for power with men and propagate more raunch under the deceitful guise of feminist empowerment." Christine Smallwood, Salon.com (read the entire Salon.com review)
"Sharp, witty, and utterly convincing, Levy's book is a call to arms for women who have fallen into the trap of phony feminism. The new Uncle Tom is a woman looking to the male chauvinist pig to find out who she is. If Levy's book has the impact that it merits, this won't be true for long." Larissa N. Dooley, Boldtype (read the entire Boldtype review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Meet the Female Chauvinist Pig — the new brand of "empowered woman" who wears the Playboy bunny as a talisman, bares all for Girls Gone Wild, pursues casual sex as if it were a sport, and embraces "raunch culture" wherever she finds it. If male chauvinist pigs of years past thought of women as pieces of meat, Female Chauvinist Pigs of today are doing them one better, making sex objects of other women — and of themselves. They think they're being brave, they think they're being funny, but in Female Chauvinist Pigs, New York magazine writer Ariel Levy asks if the joke is on them.
In her quest to uncover why this is happening, Levy interviews college women who flash for the cameras on spring break and teens raised on Paris Hilton and breast implants. She examines a culture in which every music video seems to feature a stripper on a pole, the memoirs of porn stars are climbing the best-seller lists, Olympic athletes parade their Brazilian bikini waxes in the pages of Playboy, and thongs are marketed to prepubescent girls. Levy meets the high-powered women who create raunch culture — the new oinking women warriors of the corporate and entertainment worlds who eagerly defend their efforts to be "one of the guys." And she traces the history of this trend back to conflicts between the women's movement and the sexual revolution long left unresolved.
In the tradition of Susan Faludi's Backlash and Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth, Levy pulls apart the myth of the Female Chauvinist Pig and argues that what has come to pass for liberating rebellion is actually a kind of limiting conformity. Irresistibly witty and wickedly intelligent, Female Chauvinist Pigs makes the case that the rise of raunch does not represent how far women have come, it only proves how far they have left to go.
"[Levy's] forays into a Girls Gone Wild shoot, several parties hosted by the neo-feminist group Cake, the lesbian subculture of New York and San Francisco, and the private lives of sexually active teenagers make for smart, acerbic reading." Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review
"An assertive blast, filled with punchy language and vivid images." Kirkus Reviews
"A piercing look at how women are sabotaging their own attempts to be seen as equals by going about the quest the wrong way, Levy's engrossing book should be required reading for young women." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Ariel Levy has become feminism's newest and most provocative voice." Cindy Adams, The New York Post
"With Female Chauvinist Pigs, Ariel Levy becomes feminism's newest and most provocative voice, brilliantly laying bare the contradictions and evasions and self-deceptions that pass for empowerment." Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point
"Ariel Levy strips the Girls Gone Wild culture of its cuteness in her provocative Female Chauvinist Pigs, arguing that post-feminist poster girls such as the Playboy Bunnies offer only faux empowerment." Vanity Fair
"Female Chauvinist Pigs is smart, alarming, and extremely funny. With nuance and humor, Levy has written both a convincing expose of sex and desire in contemporary America and an important cultural history. I'm giving a copy to my mother. And my sons." Cathleen Schine, author of The Love Letter and She Is Me
"As everyone knows — we people generally, Americans in particular — let sex drive us mad. Female Chauvinist Pigs is a heroic (and smart and entertaining and disturbing) stab at looking very sanely at one rampant form the insanity is taking these days. Ariel Levy understands that while we may defend to death every woman's right to look and act like a whore, it doesn't mean we're prigs if we find it unfortunate." Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century
"Ariel Levy has given us an important, lively, shocking investigative report about how and why — in an age of HIV/AIDS and religious fundamentalism — U.S. commercialism has mainstreamed pornography, popularized raunch images (and practices), and revived female 'bimbo' roles. This is a call to arms for women and girls who are being sold pseudo empowerment, phony liberation, and fake rebellion — instead of the real thing: freedom. A must-read for young women — and everyone else." Robin Morgan, author and activist
In this passionate report from the front lines, a New York magazine writer examines the enormous cultural impact of the newest wave of post-feminism.
A rallying call for a new brand of twenty-first century feminism—a feminism that is doable, cool, and, yes, even sexy.
"We live in a society where sex is used against women as much as its used by women. Sexy Feminism calls foul on that (and other) double standards—and makes manifest my frequent observation that feminists are almost always the sexiest people in the room." —Jennifer Baumgardner, author of Fem!: Goo Goo, Gaga, and Some Thoughts on Balls
Not your mothers feminism! A humor-filled action plan for an accessible, cool, and, yes, even sexy brand of 21st-century feminism
Feminism can still seem like an abstract idea that is hard to incorporate into our hectic, modern lives, but Jennifer Keishin Armstrong and Heather Wood Rudúlph show how the everyday things really matter. In an age when concern-trolling, slut-shaming, and body-snarking are blogosphere bywords, when reproductive rights are back under political attack, and when women are constantly pressured to "have it all," feminism is more relevant than ever. For many young women the radicalism of the Second Wave is unappealing, and the "do me" and "lipstick" feminism of the Third Wave feels out of date. Enter Sexy Feminism. Its an inclusive, approachable kind of feminism—miniskirts, lip gloss, and waxing permitted. Covering a range of topics from body issues and workplace gender politics to fashion, dating, and sex, Sexy Feminism is full of advice, resources, and pop culture references that will help shape what being a feminist can look like for you.
"Genius! Sexy Feminism is a delicious primer for budding feminists (and the feminist-curious), as well as a sigh of relief for long-term third-wave feminists who long to be understood and are tired of explaining our beliefs. Jennifer and Heather do an outrageously good service to us all by bringing feminism into its sexy, confident maturity." —Katie Goodman, feminist comedian and actress

To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS M Digital Camera features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces noise even further than the camera's sensor and the DIGIC 5 Image Processor alone. With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes four consecutive shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise than the traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution loss. Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks to this clever new feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better.

Holiday engagements turn to wedding planning in January, and more couples are considering the idea of eloping as a way of saving money and lowering stress. As a former English and French professor, I must admit that I wish I could tell other wedding venues who post up elopement packages for the bride and groom and 10 or 15 guests or more that the word "elope" doesn't mean taking along an entourage. That's called a Destination Wedding.
The word "elope," more than likely comes from an Anglo-French word "aloper," and means the couple runs off alone, often in secret; it often refers to those young couples who escape to get married without parental consent. Although historically couples eloped to the courthouse to be married by a JP, more recently couples are opting for something a bit more romantic and memorable. Gregg and I eloped. We left our families and friends behind and escaped to Aruba to be married on the beach. It was perfect.
Not everyone can get all the way to Aruba (heck, we haven't had the time or money to return ourselves) and many opt to come to San Antonio, so Gregg and I have made it our personal goal to provide a beautiful, romantic place for couples to elope, and we try our best to make the experience perfect for them too. We even take pictures and put them on a CD for them because we realized that was the one thing we were lacking — we don't have any pictures of us on our wedding day, except for the ones we took of each other.

International Dragon Boats for the Cure 2010
News from the Deep South in the Windsor/Essex area of Ontario. A couple weeks ago Molson Coors Canada was the proud beer sponsor of the International Dragon Boats for the Cure event held yearly at Tecumseh's Waterfront Park. Over 150 teams of 20 rowers paddled to raise funds for local hospitals to fight cancer. The Festival has donated over $1.3 Million since it began 7 years ago!
Molson's sales rep for the area was also on hand to present a $5,000 donation from the Molson Coors Donations Fund which supported the construction of a Memorial Dragon (above) in Tecumseh's Memorial Park.
Festival Organizers Beth Noakes and Gerry Orum with Molson Coors Canada territory rep Walter Hanson.
Total funds raised from this year's festival are still being tallied. Will update when we get the numbers. Cheers!

Perth hotels
What travelers to Perth are saying
Great Perth Hotel Deals with HotelClub.com!
The only major city on the 'other' side of Australia, it's easy to forget about little ol' Perth. Overshadowed by its extraverted siblings, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, Perth often gets shafted when it comes to the popular tourist trail. They say, however, that the best revenge is a life well lived, and instead of shaking its fist at those showy East Coast braggarts, Perth is more than happy to keep its pristine beaches, breathtaking sunsets and wide, traffic-free roads a secret.
The capital of Western Australia contains all the essential ingredients for the perfect getaway. Unshakeably sunny weather? Check. Bustling markets? You betcha. Exquisite eateries? Done. A thriving cultural scene? Yep. Friendly, laid-back locals? You better believe it.
The most remote city in the world with a population over one million, Perth is certainly off the beaten track, but the effort to get out will be rewarded. Hugging the beautiful Swan Riveris the Central Business District, which sprawls out into upmarket Subiaco with its leafy streets, trendy boutiques and grand colonial homes. You don't have to wander far west before stumbling onto wide, clean beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean. There's Cottesloe with its impossibly laid-back surfer types, Scarborough with its dazzling sunsets, and off the coast of Fremantle you'll find charming and historical Rottnest Island with its native quokkas.
With a melanoma-inducing 3000 hours of sunlight per year, Perth is just waiting for you to visit. And even if you don't, it'll continue to shine on without you.
Perth's Top 10
10. Perth Concert Hall This place has got some damn fine acoustics, so it's a bit of a must. Get your philharmonic on!

2. AQWA Visit this aquarium's submerged glass tunnel, gaze up at the sharks and thank your lucky stars that you're behind a thick layer of glass.
6. Perth Mint Watch them pour gold to create solid bars and marvel at the crazy coin collections. No guarantees about taking some samples home, though. Dang.

Perth LocalFremantle
Known locally as 'Freo', this culturally -diverse hotspot is actually a 30-minute drive southwest of Perth, but it's well worth a visit. Grab a coffee and take a stroll through the west-end streets, where you'll find beautiful Victorian architecture and heritage buildings. If you want to learn a little, check out both the Western Australian Maritime Museum (where you'll discover relics and artefacts from sunken ships) and Fremantle Prison, the place to learn about convict history. On the weekend, Freemantle Markets has a wide range of stalls and a fun (albeit slightly chaotic) vibe.
The home of the WACA (where West Australians indulge their love of cricket in the summer and Aussie Rules football in the winter), it's also Perth's entertainment district. The Burswood Entertainment Complex houses the Burswood Casino and a bevy of bars, clubs and restaurants. Put your lifesavings on black or pretend to be cool at a hip bar packed to the brim with beautiful young things.
One of Perth's cultural hubs. Check out the Art Gallery of Western Australia with its range of local and international art, much of it distinct to WA, while the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art provides another culture fix. Once you're done you can remove your pretentious black beret and take in an exhibition at the museum of people watching over a good coffee at one of Northbridge's trendy day spots.
By night, Northbridge is a hub of entertainment, and you can't stay in Perth without visiting the iconic Brass Monkey Hotel. It's the most photographed hotel in WA (and chances are you'll add to that statistic), but more importantly it boasts an incredible range of boutique Australian beers. The local Matilda Bay Brewery Redback Original will reaffirm your faith in the beauty of life. Even if you're not a beer drinker, don't leave without trying it
Swan Valley
A 30 minute drive from the city lies a mythical land of wineries, gorgeous scenery, wine, restaurants and more wine. Swan Valley is the place to indulge in truly fabulous local produce. Hit up the Sandalford Winery, one of Australia's oldest and largest vineyards, and sample a few (or a few more) award-wining reds and whites. Caversham Wildlife Park is also a fun attraction where you can watch native animals on their home turf while you work out which of you is sober enough to drive back to the city.
Rottnest Island
Grab a ferry from Perth to picturesque Rottnest Island ('Rotto' to the locals) and experience some of Australia's most fascinating coral reefs and pristine beaches. We're talking crystal blue waters and hot, white sands. The Basin and Geordie Bay are two of Rotto's finest beaches, but the island also boasts a rich colonial, convict and indigenous history. Check out the Aboriginal Burial Ground and the Oliver Hill Battery.
Unique to Rotto is the quokka – a small, native marsupial that is equal parts rat, gremlin and adorable. Imagine a basketball covered in fur hopping awkwardly along and you've got a rough idea. Local legend has it that the fig trees on the island had to be removed because after their fruit dropped it would ferment and be eaten by the quokkas, who would consequently become rolling drunk. Once you've seen them, the image of these pint-sized fur balls barrelling down Rotto's many hills will tickle your funny-bone the entire trip back.
Perth Eat & Drink
Melbourne and Sydney may earn the hats and stars, but Perth has a unique and innovative foodie circuit that constantly dishes up superb fare to rival that of its big-smoke rivals. West Australia has some of the best local produce in the country, and meaning Perth's restaurants can lay on the taste without the pretence or the pricetag of other major cities. If you get a chance, make sure you try marron – a land-dwelling shellfish and WA specialty with a delicate, lobster-like taste.
Hog's Breath Café An Australian fave! Fill yourself to the brim with a mammoth steak and chips.
150 East Riverside Bar and Restaurant Sit in comfy-yet-chic armchairs and enjoy a fine menu and wine selection.
Sail and Anchor If you love your amber ale, you won't want to leave this joint. Awarded '2010's Best Beer Venue', this place churns out beer showcases and beer-themed events every week, with a hearty menu to go with them.
C Restaurant Dine in the sky atop the iconic St Martin's Tower, with a fancy menu to match the fancy view. Brilliant for high tea if you're feeling decadent.
Boatshed Located on the picturesque Coode St Jetty, there's less seafood on the menu than you'd expect, but every item is sourced from the highest-quality produce. Try the scallops and pork belly for a delicious marriage of land and sea.
Gold This is for the Perth glam-squad. If you want premium liquor and premium eye-candy, this is your place. A mix of local glitterati and cashed-up miners looking to spend their hard-earned pay-packets.
China Town Kitchen A cosy, basic but very popular eatery catering to each and every Chinese-food fetish.
Dear Friends Award-winning food on a fairytale premises. The degustation will blow your mind and test the strength of that top button.
Pagoda Restaurant and Bar Sumptuous eats to the smooth and sexy notes of jazz. This historic building once provided accommodation to WWII soldiers.
The Loose Box A slightly creepy name for this gem doesn't take away from the fine, French cuisine. It's said to be suited to Perth's more adventurous tastes so bring an open-mind. Mundaring
Perth Events
While pint-sized fish may sound like an odd premise for a festival, the Fremantle Sardine Festival held every January is a guaranteed good time. Set along the Fremantle Esplanade, it will satisfy every foodie and rumbling tummy. We're talking heaps of food and drink stalls, and freshly-caught sardines served every which-way and ready for devouring.
Early February to the beginning of March each year sees the Perth International Arts Festival. Venues across the city get crammed with people wanting to experience the most electric and energetic displays of music, theatre and dance from both local and international stars.
Acrobats and gigantic puppets come together at the Fremantle Street Arts Festival in late-April. This unique experience brings cool people from across the globe and showcases awesome physical feats, comedy, circus-like tricks, sexy cabaret and more. This is a family-friendly festival with plenty of kooky characters mixed in.
Kings Park sees The Perth Wildflower Festival reels in thousands of green-thumbs and flower-fanciers every September – and has done for over 40 years. Not only are the flowers exceptional, there are lots of activities for the whole family for those who may not be quite so enamoured with the blooming beauties.
The Perth Royal Show in early October is an extravaganza of fun. Rides, games, great food and drink, art exhibits, animal shows, showbags galore and much, much more. Everyone's covered at this place. Expect to be shatteringly exhausted by the time you're done.

Perth enjoys sunny weather most of the year and has a relatively mild winter. You won't find a Perth local admitting that, though, and the spectacle of a city wrapping itself in scarves and overcoats when the mercury drops below a hardly chilly 18°C (64°F) is a sight to behold.
Summers can bring intense heatwaves and humidity, so the most comfortable months to visit are September to November and March to May.
Spring (September-November) averages around 24°C (75°F); summer is (December to February) a sweaty 30°C (86°F); autumn is a pleasant 21°C (70°F); and winter is 16°C (61°F).
What To Miss
Feeding quokkas on Rottnest Island. If caught, you'll get an instant fine. Plus, some of them can be a little antsy and may attack – and imagine having to 'fess up in your travel journal that a football-sized marsupial ran you off the island.
Perth in summer, if you hate heat. 42°C (108°F) days are common and the humidity will turn you into a sweaty ball.
While Perth is a relatively safe city, suburbs like Cloverdale, Balga and Armadale can get a bit dodgy after dark. They're mostly residential-based, though, so you're not missing much if you stay away.
Getting Around
Transperth provides all your bus, train and ferry needs. Plus, they have SmartRider passes (multiple tickets on the one card) to give you more bang for your buck.
If you want to re-visit the '90s, the Swan River has a great path on its banks that just begs to be roller-bladed on.
Taxis in Perth are reliable, clean and pretty standard in terms of fare. A trip from the airport to the city shouldn't cost more than $30.
More Attractions
The state capital of Western Australia lacks the buzz of Melbourne or the grand allure of Sydney but wins out in the charm department. With rapid population growth and urban development, Perth is a pretty Swan River city. The attractive skyline, visible from the water, is a wonderful vision to behold. A near vicinity to the Indian Ocean and Darling Scarp geological formation provides the area around Perth with majestic scenery. Indeed, because of sheer geographic chance, the city is a hub of industry, most notably in the realms of mineral sands, gold, nickel, diamonds and iron ore. As a result of the influx of outside investment, Perth is a diverse and vibrant city, with a quarter of urban inhabitants from overseas.
In relative isolation - the next city with a population over 1 million people is a 20 hour drive away – Perth better have some decent attractions in order to entice visitors. Thankfully, it has many that qualify as world class.
A cursory tour of Perth must begin with the Cultural Centre. The area defines a group of attractions in the Central Business District of premier tourist importance. They include the Art Gallery of Western Australia, State Library, State Records Office, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and Western Australian Museum. For art exhibits, interdisciplinary projects and various installations, the venues within the Cultural Centre represent the best of Perth.
A great distance from Sydney and Melbourne - and well outside powerful spheres of influence - Perth has a distinct and proud identity as a result. Evident in the music and theatre scene, the city is alive with great performances. The Concert Hall, home of the city Symphony Orchestra, and Exhibition Convention Centre both host major concerts. With a casino and several nightclubs, Burswood Entertainment Complex on Swan River is a popular draw as well. For sophistication however, head to His Majesty's Theatre, to see either the wonderful Western Australia Opera or Ballet.
The Big Day Out is the most famous festival in Australia. With stops all over the country, the outdoor music celebration has come to Perth since 1993. The festival features a diverse line-up of acts that hail from around the globe and range from alternative to heavy metal, electronic to acoustic.
The V Festival is another major Australian music tour that stops in Perth. With Virgin as the primary corporate sponsor, the festival draws some major names in international pop music.
A hotbed for athletic pursuits, with a surfeit of important events throughout the year, Perth is a paradise for rugby, cricket, soccer and tennis lovers. With teams or tournaments for each, there is never a bad time of year to be a sports fan in the city. The Swan River and other areas in particular, host a number of water sports events, from the Gravity Games to the Avon Descent.
Perth has a Mediterranean climate, with enviable conditions throughout most of the year.
- Winter (June to August) 6-21°C

Thousands of Indians crammed into telegram offices to send souvenir messages to friends and family in a last-minute rush before the service shuts down. July 14, 2013, is the last day that messages will be accepted by the 162-year-old service, the last major commercial telegram operation. In the days before mobile phones and the Internet, the telegram network was the main form of long-distance communication, with 20 million messages dispatched from India during the subcontinent's bloody partition in 1947.

Video — Kirill Kabanov Hurt; Left Wrist Cut Requiring Surgery (UPDATES)
Kevin Schultz
Update, Saturday 12:00pm: The official statement from the Sound Tigers:
Kirill Kabanov was cut in last night's game on the left wrist, had surgery last night & is expected to make a full recovery. There is no timeline as of now on Kabanov's return to the lineup. He will be reevaluated on Monday.
Thank you guys for all your support… Surgery went well.. Hope it is gonna hill quik… Thank you a lot again for supporting me and #BST
Update, 10:18pm: Mike Fornabaio tweets that Kabanov was "cut in the wrist."
Sound Tigers' winger Kirill Kabanov left tonight's game against Worcester with an injury. Kabanov got into a collision in the corner boards behind the Worcester net and then skated directly to the bench. Darryl Hunt, who covers Worcester for Sharkspage.com, tweets that it is a right hand injury and spectators who saw it said that it looked "serious."
Kabanov has a right hand injury…spectators that saw the injury say it's a serious. #WorSharks
— Darryl Hunt (@210Darryl) October 27, 2012
It's tough to tell exactly what happened. Kabanov goes into the corner to check #7, John McCarthy, and ends up tangled up at the feet of #29, Nick Petrecki. The camera then cuts away, so it's hard to see exactly what happened. If this is indeed serious, it's horrible for Kabanov and he would be the second Sound Tiger in a week with a serious injury.

Maryland Fisheries Scientist Wins Award of Excellence
5/23/2013 | Posted by kkingTags: Recreational, Commercial
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) congratulates Bill Goldsborough on winning an award of excellence in the area of policy and management at the spring 2013 meeting of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission on May 21 in Alexandria, Virginia.
Throughout his three decades as a senior scientist for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Goldsborough has been a steadfast advocate for science-based conservation and a central figure in forging agreements between diverse interests in Chesapeake and Atlantic Coast fisheries management. Most recently, he took a leading role in the campaign to establish a more conservative management framework for menhaden in recognition of their important role as a prey species for striped bass and many other marine resources.
