NBN rollout delays leave dozens of Hobart tech firms in the lurch
- From: Mercury
- August 06, 2014
AT least 50 central Hobart businesses are living an NBN nightmare, with companies across five city buildings waiting more than a year for a connection, the state's peak IT group says.
TasICT says despite fibre running past the front of the buildings, businesses inside are unable to get a connection because NBN Co is struggling to deal with multi-dwelling units.
TasICT executive officer Dean Winter said time was running out for the businesses, many of which were tech companies, with the copper network due to be cut off in some parts of the city in December.
"We're now aware of at least five Hobart CBD buildings that NBN Co has been unable to connect. There are probably many more," he said.
"These businesses are operating with no certainty about their ability to access an NBN service.
"In some cases, federal regulations mean they're not even allowed to establish a new ADSL connection while they wait."
NBN Co said at last count there were 300 residential and commercial multi-dwelling units connected in Hobart, with work under way to connect a further 220.
Mr Winter said the problems experienced by businesses was just the tip of the iceberg.
In an opinion piece in the Mercury today, Mr Winter:
SAYS the rollout is going more slowly than other states and, at the existing rate, could take another 16 years.
TALKS about the continuous "horror stories about businesses and households who simply want to connect to the NBN that has been rolled past their premises but can't".
URGED Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to "come to Tasmania, outline what the issues are and outline a plan to resolve them".
Mr Winter told the Mercury that at Ionata Digital in Collins St, 20 businesses in the City Mill Building in Morrison St and about 10 businesses in the Westella building in Elizabeth St were still waiting to be connected – a year after putting in an order.
Mr Winter said organisations representing two other multi-dwelling unit buildings and about 20 more businesses had told him they were still waiting for NBN connection.
Ionata Digital managing director Martin Anderson said he ordered an NBN connection as soon as it became available in Collins St in mid-2013.
But after nine months waiting and no connection in sight, the business moved a few doors down on assurances from NBN Co that there would be no problem connecting in their new premises.
Mr Anderson says that the NBN actually isn't available in the new building yet.
Ionata Digital was unable to reconnect to ADSL because the street was NBN ready and are now relying on an expensive, slower wireless service to conduct their business.
"We absolutely want (NBN), the bandwidth would make a huge difference to us. We have 10 people working in the office all using one connection and pushing huge files around," Mr Anderson said.
"There is Fibre in the Street outside the premises, so it's frustrating. The fibre has been there since last year, but we can't get connected."
NBN Co spokesman Andrew Sholl said NBN Co was moving to "fibre to the basement" in multi-dwelling buildings in an effort to avoid having to install a separate box at every unit.
He said Ionata's building should be ready for service by the end of this month.

Peter, great analogy. If the rest of the world's countries that our economy interacts and competes with had six lane highways to their homes and a Lamborghini in their garage then yes, I would ask my government to do whatever they have to do to try to keep up with them. How can they afford to inject into their infrastructure that much but we can't? They would be getting to work much faster, wasting a little less time each day, boosting productivity as a whole. This seemingly innocuous benefit would incrementally become a major component to us falling behind in the race for the mighty dollar. If you think that IT and its unforseen possibilities are not the future of the World's economy then we are at complete odds of agreement.
Peter Troy of Kingston Posted at 10:35 PM August 07, 2014
Yes Bastion, and according to your logic it would be lovely if we all had a 6-lane highway to our front door which is the equivalent of fibre to the home. Together with of course a matching Lamborghini in the garage! And of course given the convenience of such an infrastructure you'd have absolutely no qualms about the cost to the taxpayer! As I say even my grandson's high school economics exposes the inanity of your logic!
Bastian Dwyer of Glenorchy Posted at 7:25 PM August 07, 2014
I wonder if, looking back, the people above would agree that the government's massive undertaking a long, long time ago to install a National Narrowband Network (the NNN we can call it, or CTTH - Copper To The Home) was a waste of time? Comments back then would have been sprayed around like "Why would I want a telephone in my house when there is a perfectly good one at the post office (CTTN)", or "I'm fine just listening to my wireless, thanks" and "why are we wasting our money on this rubbish, my newspaper get delivered fast enough". Perhaps they then mumbled and grumbled when an ADSL router requirement was rudely added in place of their beloved 56K modem? "Websites and my emails load fast already", "Pictures coming up within 30 seconds is fine for my family's requirements", "I have a TV for videos, thanks", or the mightily relevant: "I ordered ADSL 8 months ago and they still haven't installed the DSLAMS! Compensation please!?" Further to that a cruel ADSL2+ upgrade forced down their unwilling throats. "The horror, when will it stop?!?!?" IT WON'T. If you want to stay relevant in this Information Age you MUST keep investing in information communication technology!

We had a great story in this morning's paper on Mike Bellotti's transition to athletic director, written by George Schroeder. Here's the link.
Among the insights Schroeder details is the change in style from Pat Kilkenny to Bellotti:
If you're looking for what distinguishes Bellotti from his predecessor, start with that. In two-plus years at the helm, Kilkenny's management style was to define the goal, then entrust the details to subordinates.
"Mike's a hands-on guy," said Hawkins, who's worked with Bellotti for years in the football program.
"I'm probably about 180 degrees (different from Kilkenny)," Bellotti said. "I'm not a micromanager, but I really want to know and understand what everybody is doing."
But these are tough financial times for all athletic departments, and Bellotti is getting dropped right into the thick of it:
Oregon remains in better fianancial shape than many of its counterparts in college athletics. The school is one of 19 athletic departments that is self-sufficient. And a $100 million pledge from Nike founder Phil Knight will be used as a backstop if department operations costs outstrip revenue.
But as the budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 was being prepared, the head coaches of every sport and directors of every department were asked to identify potential cuts of up to 10 percent. Though the final budget hasn't been released, Bellotti said the cuts probably wouldn't go that deep — but "it's going to be tightening the belt."
Schroeder writes of the trust and confidence Oregon's coaches express in Bellotti, in the wake of three firings in the department this year:
During the last school year, Kilkenny relieved head coaches of three women's sports of their duties, and men's basketball coach Ernie Kent dangled in uncertainty for several weeks near the end of a difficult season.
All four fell short of a standard Kilkenny expressed last winter in an interview with The Register-Guard: Oregon would provide the resources to compete, and coaches in every sport would be expected to consistently finish in the top half of the Pac-10 Conference, which typically translated into a postseason berth.
That might be part of the reason for whispers about an undercurrent of dissension and dissatisfaction among coaches and other staff members.
Several coaches, staff members and others declined to comment or deflected questions about whether winning — or creating revenue — had taken precedence over people and the student-athlete experience. But the phrase "Wait until July 1," when Bellotti takes over, was uttered frequently, if not for attribution.
Again, here's the link to the full story. It's definitely worth your time.

The girls from The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard are back today, which mean I am officially screwed on the title-related joke front. But that's alright, because today's girl, Kathryn Hahn, is funny all on her own. The talented comedienne has been a bit player in tons of comedies like Anchorman, Step Brothers, and… um, Reservation Road. That was supposed to be funny, right? On the small screen, she is well-known for her time on "Crossing Jordan," where her role Lily was created specifically for her by the show's creator, Tim Kring. I guess Kring saw that Kathryn had "The Goods." COUNT IT!
A word from Kathryn: "To be worked into a show that was in production and on the schedule, is an amazing stroke of luck."
It's not luck if you have the looks and humor on par with Ms. Hahn. (I struggled to not repeat "The Goods" joke just then; it's too easy) Check out more hot photos of Kathryn after the jump!

For this show, Mr. Cardinal has selected images from Texas, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and California. Subjects range from scenics to rare bird species with a variety of "Old West" subjects as well.
"I was particularly inspired this spring by a road trip to the Western United States that my daughter Annie and I took along the lines of Steinbeck's 'Travels with Charley,'" he said. "While we didn't lodge in an RV like Steinbeck did, we did amble our way through parks and small towns with an eye for appreciating special sights that may not be there much longer."
Mr. Cardinal leads small-group photo safaris to Africa, Asia and Alaska, as well as to destinations in the continental United States. He specializes in rare and endangered animals and environments.
The Allegro Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Persimmon sale for charity
Local youth Lisa and Sara Hewitt, members of their philanthropy group, ChAngels, are hosting their third annual persimmon sale at the family-owned shop, Beltramo's Wines and Sprits, 1540 El Camion Real in Menlo Park, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21.
The sale of organic, locally harvested persimmons is a tradition started by the girls' mother, Diana Beltramo Hewitt, who peddled persimmons as a girl. Her stand featured the fruit accompanied by a family dessert recipe incorporating the persimmons. Her daughters and friends are carrying on the tradition, this time for charity.
ChAngels is a mother-daughter philanthropy group, founded in 2007 with the goal of effecting change on both a local and global level by collecting and earning spare change. Other members are Atherton and Menlo Park residents Annie and Lily Barnett, Sarah and Kate Lucas, Melissa and Alison Freeman, and Kim Guthrie and daughters Jessie and Clara.
Go to thechangels.blogspot.com for more information or call Kate Lucas, founding member of ChAngels at 568-0395.
Members, who range in age from 8 to 11, have been involved in a number of charitable activities, including collecting shoes for homeless children, donating books to Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, and making toys and collecting supplies for animals at Pets in Need.

Military adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says, "The boldness and foolishness of Israeli officials in threatening the Islamic republic have put Israeli citizens one step away from the cemetery" • Hezbollah vows to hit U.S. targets if Israel attacks Iran.
An aide to Iran's supreme leader said Israel's military threats had "put Israeli citizens one step away from the cemetery" and that Hezbollah was ready to hit back.
Yahya Rahim-Safavi, military adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a former commander in chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, said the increasing threats from Israel to strike Iranian nuclear facilities were "foolish," the Iranian Students' News Agency reported on Friday.
"The boldness and foolishness of Israeli officials in threatening the Islamic Republic have put Israeli citizens one step away from the cemetery," he said. "If, one day, the Israeli regime takes action against us, resistance groups, especially Hezbollah ... will respond more easily."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made increasing hints in recent weeks that Israel could strike Iran and has criticized U.S. President Barack Obama's position that sanctions and diplomacy should be given more time.
The heightened rhetoric has stoked speculation that Israel may attack before the U.S. elections in November.
Hezbollah has said any attack on Iran would be met by strikes against Israeli and U.S. targets in the region, even if American forces played no role in the attack.
"A decision has been taken to respond, and the response will be very great," Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a TV interview this month.

(PP341) Role of homologous recombination in the alpha particle bystander effect for sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations.
Nagasawa, Hatsumi*,1, Peng, Yuanlin1, Wilson, Paul1, Lio, Yi-Ching2, Chen, David2, Bedford, Joel1, Little, John3, 1 Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, Fort Collins, CO, United States2 Department of Radiation Oncology, Dallas, TX, United States3 Center for Radiation Sciences and Environmental Health, Boston, MA, United States
ABSTRACT- The bystander effect for sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations (CA) was examined in hamster cells lines deficient in either DNA-PKcs (V3 cells, deficient in non-homologous end joining, NHEJ) or Rad51C (irs3 cells, deficient in homologous recombination, HR). Cells synchronized in G0/G1 phase were irradiated with very low fluences of alpha particles such that <1% of the nuclei were traversed by an alpha particle. Wild-type cells showed a prominent bystander response for SCE induction; an even greater effect was observed in V3 cells. On the other hand, no significant induction of SCE was observed in the irs3 Rad51C-deficient bystander cells irradiated at various stages in the cell cycle. Whereas a marked bystander effect for CA occurred in V3 cells, the induction of CA in irs3 bystander cells was minimal and similar to that of wild-type cells. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that HR is essential for the induction of SCE in bystander cells; however, HR is unable to repair the DNA damage induced in NHEJ-deficient bystander cells that leads to either SCE or CA. Several additional mutant cell strains deficient in other HR proteins are currently being examined. This work was supported by grant DE-FG03-01ER63235 from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Key words: homologous recombination, bystander effect, alpha particle, SCE

Historic windows at Cottage Grove Armory restored by hand
COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. - Amy McAuley removes the windows in the historic Cottage Grove Armory with an ease born of experience.
"I'll take these pins out of each one, and it just slides out," she said.
Her goal isn't to replace the old windows but to restore them.
Window conservator Amy McAuley has brought her unique know-how to the old Cottage Grove Armory. The city purchased the Armory to make it into a community center.
McAuley's job is to fix the window sashes.
"I've worked on a lot of historic structures in this state and this building holds a special spot for me," she said.
The city won a state grant of $25,000 to help pay for the work.
"We've started basically renovations on the worst 35 windows in the building and having them repaired," said Richard Meyers, Cottage Grove City Manager.
The sashes are the old wood frames around the windows. Don't look for power tools. This work is done with hand saws and planes.
"It is a passion and if you ask me to stop doing it, it would be like asking me to stop breathing," said McAuley, the owner of Oculus Fine Carpentry in Portland.
"She is recognized as the top expert in historic window restoration," Meyers said.
McAuley said windows are the gateway to the soul of a building, and projects like this one here at the Armory are right up her alley.
"So I want to try and match the graining as much as possible," said McAuley as she illustrates a repair called a Dutchman Patch.
She works to match the grain of the new wood with the wood in the old sash from 80 years ago for a lasting repair.
McAuley said her family's history in the military, with many veterans, gives this job extra meaning.
"To get an opportunity, to kind of give back to all those soldiers that have come through here is a great honor," she said. "It's hallowed ground, this building."

Missing devices and low mid-range and the "old" Galaxy S i9000. Samsung has yet to assess the time to port the new version on the high-end device and then verify that everything is replicable also on line cheapest device (however, only WVGA). Thus were not yet evaluated the choices for the Galaxy W and the like.For the high end, however it comes out of a roll which should begin in Q2 2012 although there is uncertainty about the dates.Full translation via Google Translator
As noted from the message above, Samsung has yet to finalize the list and there maybe more devices be added to the upgrade list so don't be disappointed if your devices not in the list. And we also learn that most of the devices are expected to get the ICS upgrade on Q2 2012.

Create an airbrushed finish with Dream Liquid Mousse by Maybelline.
I am in love with this foundation!!!! It goes on so nice and it is not heavy at all. You can barely tell that I have it on. I have also noticed that it doesn't rub off on things. It is very light and really gives you that airbrushed look without the machine. I will definitely be purchasing this in all the shades for my MUA kit that I am currently building. My face is extremely sensitivee to everything so the fact that it didn't break me out was a plus as well. When I use it, I apply it with a sponge and I set it with a light powder. My face has such a nice glow to it and I just absolutely love it!!!!
The "airbrush" finish advertised is really more like "matte and kinda cakey." I think the formula is great for people who have basically good skin already and don't need to fuss with lots of primer, concealer, powder, etc...
I ended up looking totally overdone every time I tried to incoorperate this product into my makeup routine. I won't be buying this one again.
This is probably my favorite foundation. I typically don't use foundation because I think it looks too unnatural but this gives the perfect amount of coverage. The texture is creamy and feels great on the skin, its blends nicely too. It also photographs great without any white cast. I actually prefer this over my $45 Makeup Forever foundation. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an everyday foundation.
I love the Dream Mousse line, but this one was completely off. It feels sticky and cakey without even putting it on, it creases as soon as it dries, and it's just bad. Coverage is horrible. Overall I do NOT recommend.
Absolutely HATE this product. Even when using foundation primer this foundation would accentuate my pores, not cover them up for a flawless pore free finish. What a bunch of bull! I took it back and got my money back.
Now, I know some of the reviewers said that this is not good on oily skin. I have this foundation and I have combination/oily skin, but it does not make me any oilier than I am. The best way to apply it is in patting motions and this can be done either with a stippling brush or a sponge. Just take a dab and pat it on. Then take a setting powder and with a sponge, pat then roll over the foundation. You will get the desired coverage that you want that way. It is a great overall foundation!
The coverage is great but it's not for oily skin. This works best for Dry to Normal skin. The formula itself is very smooth and glides on nicely.
My skintone in the middle of Honey Beige & Caramel, so I just mix the two. Besides that, I love this foundation. Since it's a mousse, the key is to apply it lightly, then layer if needed. A lot of people I know have problems with Maybelline's Mousse foundations because they aren't applying it properly. The coverage is good. I recommend using a primer if your planning to wear it for most of the day.
This foundation is a dream! covers really well and feels so light i forgot i was wearing any. This is my first maybelline foundation in 10yrs as i found their products made my skin very oily and would quickly slide off my face. But, now i'm a convert and this product really does work and my face doesn't go oily like it did and the product stays. This item also works very well with their age renew primer.

Aerobic exercise can reduce fatigue in cancer patients
Aerobic exercise can help relieve the fatigue often associated with cancer and cancer treatment, according to a Cochrane review.
Researchers looked at 56 studies involving a total of 4,068 cancer patients. Half of the studies were carried out in people with breast cancer.
Those with solid tumours benefited from aerobic exercise, such as walking or cycling, both during and after cancer treatment.
Other forms of exercise, including resistance training, did not significantly reduce fatigue.
"Exercise may help reduce cancer-related fatigue and should therefore be considered as one component of a strategy for managing fatigue," said the researchers from the University of the West of England.

Back in the saddle again!
With all apologies to Gene Autry, I'm glad to be here once again to bring you our weekly linkfest.
Before I get too far along, I want to give a big thanks to Chris for covering for me last week. I loved the coining of FOGG. Well done sir. Well done.
While I was unable to find any actual chupacabra, I did have a celebrity sighting of the 80s variety. It seems the Bangles were staying at the same hotel I was and they ended up in the dining room with me and the rest of the expedition last Friday night. Susanna Hoffs is holding up well true believers.
Before we give you the links, we have to give you a slice of cheesecake. Don't worry, I didn't forget.
Say hello to Katherine Heigl. Formerly of Grey's Anatomy, Ms. Heigl returns to the big screen this weekend starring opposite Ashton Kutcher in Killers. It will be interesting to see if she turns on Kutcher the way she turned on Judd Apatow after the success of Knocked Up. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, on to the links.
An event Chris says he could compete in.
Just in case you might want to know what next year's Green Lantern movie is about before you see it.
George A. Romero sets the record straight on zombies' diets.
The Big Four – LIVE! – June 22 at a cineplex near you!
Newscaster heat! It's not just for FOX anymore.
In memory of Dennis Hopper – Eggplants.
A more expensive, but far more entertaining, path to salvation when the greys come down.
The politics of the Apocalypse.
How the War on Drugs makes us ALL less free.
More pictures of Chris Hemsworth as Thor!
AT&T puts a foot on the throat of its iPhone users.
The truth about bottled water.
This is a movement I think I could get behind.

Teaser from the feature length documentary For Thousands of Miles.
We waited at the highest switch-back in Cascades National Park for Larry to pass and ride down into the valley. We took a lot of footage from this ledge, it was a very beautiful spot to spend an hour.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

ORLEANS–Shaquille Urie scored arguably the prettiest goal of the season for Lake Region, heading the ball past Hazen's Murphy Simmons seven minutes into the second half to secure the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon.
Lake Region got off to the hot start, and if it wasn't for Simmons heroics in goal, the score would have been much more lopsided.
His first big save came against eventual goal scorer Urie.
Jeremy Dean had the ball deep in Hazen territory when he lofted a cross into the middle of the box.
ST. ALBANS–Ruffie Palin's header in the 31st minute provided the only scoring Wednesday night, as North Country earned its' first victory of the season with a 1-0 decision over the Bobwhites.
BFA (1-4-1) gave the Homecoming crowd plenty to cheer for in the opening minutes with a series of great chances, and had a handful of shots at a wide-open net late. Falcon goalkeeper Logan Fortier made a few great stops, but most of St. Albans' chances flew wide of one post or the other.

Each and every day, our story as a 400-bed gospel rescue mission proclaims the wondrous love and work of our God and Savior. Just when it seemed Eugene had no room for a mission, God had something far greater in mind.
It all started in the 1950s. Back then, the former Shield of Faith ministry operated a small mission on the second floor of an old store in downtown Eugene, where the Eugene Hilton stands today at Sixth Avenue and Willamette Street.
Hungry, homeless men came to the upstairs location for meals and gospel messages. No beds were onsite, other than for workers, but the little mission provided a brief respite for souls left to the streets and rails. When Shield of Faith changed the course of its ministry and the mission risked closure, God moved the hearts of local businessmen to continue the venture for His wandering lambs.
Thus, on December 11, 1956, the Eugene Mission was born, incorporated by Jack W. Gossard, Robert B. Freeman and John Huber.
"I know the plans I have for you"
Picking up where Shield of Faith left off, the fledgling Eugene Mission continued to feed homeless men each evening in the old storefront downtown. But then, just years later, the mission itself became homeless.
The city of Eugene had big new plans for downtown, and those plans did not include an old storefront where crowds of transient men gathered each evening at mealtime. Time for the mission to go.
And yet, God had much bigger plans for his ministry. In 1962, the Eugene Mission relocated to 1925 Roosevelt Boulevard. Once again homeless men had a safe haven for a hot meal, though still no place to spend the night.
After dinner, the men returned to the streets. That same year, God called Ernie Unger, who had been working as a shift supervisor at the Rosboro mill in Springfield, to replace Roy Gable as the mission's new executive director. Ernie would hold the job for half a century and, with wife Pat at his side, help guide the mission through dramatic changes.
In 1967, a new building on First Avenue, the mission's current site. Cafeteria for meals, and now something very big and new: 50 beds. No longer would the mission have to send homeless men back on the streets after their evening meal. Today? More than 400 beds for men, women and children. Now as then, Eugene's one and only overnight shelter for the homeless.
In 1971, day room. Warm, dry place for guests at all hours, not just overnight. Laundry facilities; haircuts; lounge area.
In 1979, a women's center with 50 beds. Separate from men's quarters. Refuge for homeless women; help for domestic abuse, addictions. Dining hours scheduled separate from men. Today, beds for up to 60 women.
In 1998, a mother and children's center with 34 beds. Children greeted with teddy bear, bed quilt, new school clothes. Play area. Moms, children never separated; help for moms without jobs, homes. Save haven from domestic abuse. Separate dining area during women's hours in cafeteria.
In 2011, a month shy of his 77th birthday, Ernie Unger stepped down as executive director. During his 50-year tenure, God had expanded the mission from a simple place for meals to an 11 building campus on 7.5 acres, all along First Avenue. For our new executive director, God called longtime corporate executive Jack Tripp from Massachusetts. Jack, who had been a senior executive for various Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies, was quick to hear the Lord's call. In both of their hearts they heard the Word of God:
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
With his extensive corporate background and management experience, Jack has a unique skill set for meeting extreme new demands on the mission: upgrading technologies and systems, and a desire to share the mission's purpose and ministry with a new and expanded audience – all the while continuing the mission's core purpose of food, shelter, gospel and restoration to record numbers of God's lost sheep.
Sheep who, more and more, often face life challenges far beyond their poverty. But we know the One to whom they belong. And we know the One who holds our future — just as He has directed our past.
In 2013, a brand new women's center, providing expanded shelter and personal services to Oregon's fastest growing homeless population. Currently sheltering 65 each night, the hope is to eventually staff the center to be able to serve over 100 women each day.
Also in 2013, a new one-year Life Change program for men and women was launched, with the goal to transition graduates to housing, employment and a vital relationship with God.
In 2014, we changed our tagline from "Help for the homeless since 1956" to: "A Wellness Shelter for the Homeless" to keep pace with directional changes as we emphasize health and wellness – emotional, physical, mental and spiritual – for the guests who come to the Eugene Mission.

Rock Bar & Kisik, Ayana Resort, BaliPosted by Bali, Beach, Featured, Resorts, Seafood, Travel | Categories:
It was our last night in Bali and although we had both enjoyed ourselves thoroughly we couldn't help but feel that we had preferred our recent trips to Thailand. The over commercialised vibe along with the abundance of Australian tourists made our holiday in Bali feel a little bit like we hadn't actually left Australia. Not that this was necessarily a bad thing, but I do love the experience of being in another country. I guess we shouldn't really try to compare the two and regardless of their differences I am still looking forward to returning to Bali; perhaps next time we might get a bit off the beaten track.

I have to be the worst person in the world at keeping secrets. I don't know how the Boy does it but consistently for some years now he manages to crack the puzzle on what his Christmas gift is from me. It frustrates the hell out of me! So this year I thought I'd go way outside the box from the usual gift giving we normally do and instead I decided I would get him a holiday …. and I would come along of course!
Now obviously the first place that came to my mind was Thailand as our love affair with this country continues and I really wanted to organise a trip to Bangkok with a detour via Hua Hin for some beachside relaxation. But after some investigation with our travel agent, I soon realised that with a wedding to save for; going to Thailand during its peak season was realistically out of my budget! She suggested we go somewhere a little closer to home such as Bali. Being only three and half hours flight from Perth it seemed like the perfect place to get in a quick amount of much needed R&R.
Chez Gado Gado, Seminyak, BaliPosted by Bali, French, Restaurants, Travel | Categories:
Bearing in mind that our mini-break to Bali was a spontaneous and relatively unplanned trip the holiday's budget was a little tighter than I am normally accustomed to. It was our fourth night and we had already eaten at some very impressive restaurants such as Ku De Ta and La Lucciola. These were wonderful meals but they came at prices that are comparable to those back in Perth. To add to the situation it is only a year before our wedding date (WOOT!) and the boy was getting justifiably concerned about our spending habits knowing full well that we still had our Sydney trip the following week!
Once again by recommendation, this time from one of our travelling companions who came with us last year in Phuket, we made the journey in the torrential monsoon rain to the more built up southern part of Seminyak to Chez Gado Gado. On entry into this opulent venue I started to worry that I had inadvertently chosen another pricy restaurant. Thankfully after scanning the menu I was relieved to see that things were all very reasonably priced despite the external appearance of the restaurant being quite fancy.
La Lucciola, Seminyak, BaliPosted by Bali, Featured, Italian, Restaurants, Travel | Categories:
After our decadent meal at Ku De Ta there was some discussion amongst our friends on Facebook which lead to a number of alternate dining recommendations being given. We decided to follow their advice and booked a table at La Lucciola which was conveniently in Seminyak where we were staying. To the Boy's satisfaction we also managed to book the hotel car in advance and dodge being over charged by local taxis. He is not the biggest fan of the whole rorting system of taxis in Bali and this was cause of many complaints from him.
The restaurant is located right up on the beach but unfortunately we arrived just after sunset so we missed the view as the golden sun had already plunged into the sea. Despite this, I was still amazed at what a stunning setting; the restaurant is surrounded by lush gardens and Koi ponds facing out directly onto the beach. It faces towards an area of beach on the northern end of Seminyak beach which is much quieter and more peaceful than the main area.
Ku De Ta, Seminyak, BaliPosted by Bali, European, Featured, Restaurants, Travel | Categories:
It was our first night in Bali and our refreshing welcome drink served at our villa was a much needed treat. It had taken us no less than an hour and a half to travel a mere twelve kilometres through bumper to bumper traffic from the airport to Seminyak. Once we had checked into our villa and discovered the free minibar wasn't very well stocked, we decided to head out into the town in search of something to eat and drink. I had been given a long list of eating venues from friends back home so I started at the top of the list and chose Ku De Ta.

i-INCURR - TCC's portal that houses course and program information and curriculum guides.
The college's career and technical programs are designed both to prepare students for employment and to provide additional education for those already employed. They meet the increasing demand for technicians, paraprofessionals, skilled craft workers, and specialized clerical workers for employment in industry, business, government, and the professions. Programs include preparation for agricultural, business, engineering, health and medical, industrial, service, and other career and technical fields.
Three different lengths of programs give students convenient options. Career studies programs supply basic skills and may be completed in one or two semesters. Certificate programs add more advanced training and general education courses. They generally last two or three semesters. Associate of Applied Arts (A.A.A.) and Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) programs are two-year degrees that include both basic and advanced courses in the major field as well as general education requirements. All programs, whatever the length, may offer more than one track, or area of specialization.
In most cases, courses included in the career studies and certificate programs apply to the two-year associate's degree. Many students complete career studies or certificate programs, find employment, and then continue to upgrade their skills and earning power by completing the A.A.A. and A.A.S. degrees.
The A.A.A. and A.A.S. degrees are generally considered non-transfer degrees, meaning that courses taken to earn the degree may not transfer to four-year colleges or universities. Some A.A.S. programs, however, do transfer to specific four-year schools as the first two years of a baccalaureate degree program. Students planning to transfer should meet with a transfer counselor to plan their program and investigate the requirements of transfer institutions before choosing electives.
In addition to the college's general admission requirements, students are required to complete placement tests in reading, composition, and mathematics. The college has a required developmental program for students who need to remedy deficiencies in these areas.
In order to graduate with the associate degree, you must meet the college's computer competency requirement.
Some programs are not offered on all campuses. Most general education classes, such as English, social sciences, and humanities, can be taken on any campus.

In-form Agyemang-Badu provides brilliant assist in Udinese draw in Serie A
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Follow Akyereko on Twitter: @Akyereko
Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu was a brilliant architect for Udinese as he set up their opening goal in their 3-3 draw with Genoa in the Italian Serie A on Sunday afternoon.
The Liverpool and Arsenal target tailored in a wonderful cross from the right for the Serbian Dusan Basta ito gracefully volley past the keeper at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Badu has hit top-form for Udinese and his contribution has been key for Les Zebrettes' revival.
Udinese took a 3-1 lead but allowed Genoa to fightback and snatch a point from the game.
Ghanaian midfielder Isaac Cofie was unused by Genoa as he warmed the bench..

Carol Morley's hotel drama is let down by a serious lack of a compelling story.
What are they doing next door? Edge, a fiction film directed by Carol Dreams of a Life Morley, takes a peak into the rooms of various guests at an unfashionable cliff-top hotel.
It's winter, fog hangs in the air and holiday spirit is noticeable by its absence. Elly (Maxine Peake) is a mysterious redhead who wants to be alone. Wendy (Marjorie Yates) thumps around her room with a noose. Two teenagers (Joe Dempsie and Nichola Burley) arrive for a less-than-romantic rendezvous. Only Glen (Paul Hilton), an aspiring guitarist, cheerfully invents songs and remains buoyed by a canine-like faith in future appreciation.
The back stories of each guest do acknowledge the preoccupations of modern life, issues ranging from money, fame, spiked drinks and abortion. Yet, however interesting each issue may be, when delivered as matter-of-fact dialogue within the flowery walls of the hotel, its power to shock quickly withers. In order to compensate, the guests spill out revelation after revelation to the point of farce.
It doesn't help that the character at the heart of the plot, Elly, hardly utters a word for the first half of the film. "You've got this amazing energy around you," Glen tells her, but it's a lie. The camera hangs back and allows them mumble.
Apart from the English accents and a red telephone box, Edge seems refreshingly disconnected from the the obvious reference points of British cinema. An early shot of the cliffs covered with snow could be an outtake from a nature doc like Frozen Planet. Where drama does survive, it is thanks to the skill of the actors.
Yates is convincing as Wendy, succeeding in making the old woman both abrasive and pitiful. The reserved young Polish cleaner Agata (Anna Wendzikowska) is also a good foil.
Burley, who recently played Isabella Linton in Wuthering Heights, manages to transcend her cover girl looks and inject some madness into her role as a teenager bent on revenge. The moment where she whips out a blow torch and uses it to transform a coat hanger into a branding iron is far more original than the film's official climax.
An opportunity to see another film by Carol Morley after the brilliant Dreams of a Life.
There's a reason nobody talked about this one. What's on the telly?
A film with a brooding atmosphere, but a compelling story is MIA.

Davis School District students participate in Advanced Astronomy Camp
Davis School District students participating in last week's "Advanced Astronomy Camp" at Farmington Junior High School and Northridge High School got to take the universe home with them at the end of the week.
Each student received his or her own telescope.
Campers could hardly wait to get their hands on their Celestron telescopes, which cost about $50.
Students received their optical instruments Thursday. It was definitely the highlight of the week.
Besides the prospect of owning a telescope, what drew future Sunset Junior High seventh-grader Davis Jensen to the camp?
"It's the stars, really," Davis explained, thoughtfully. "They're really cool. They make patterns like Orion. And then with this [telescope], it says you can look at the rings of Saturn."
When he grows up, Andrew plans to become a scientist, a sixth-grade teacher or he'll "save up and own a lot of Burger Kings."
Farmington Junior High eighth-grader Andrew Miller attended because he's fascinated by "Greek stuff."
"The Greeks and Romans basically figured out all the constellations," Andrew said.
For Martin, a science teacher, it was refreshing to teach in this setting because these youngsters have a "sincere desire" to learn astronomy. For many kids, science is just another class they have to take. But for these campers, they're here because they want to be, for the most part.
"It makes it so much easier," he said. "They're staying on task. They want to know about what's going on. They're not asking random, off-the-wall questions. It makes the teaching job a whole lot more enjoyable."
The district decided to host the camp -- which drew 26 students -- to commemorate the International Year of Astronomy.
It was 400 years ago, in 1609, that Galileo first peered into space aided by a telescope. That same year, Johannes Kepler published Astronomia nova , which contains Kepler's findings on the motion of Mars.
At camp, students learned to identify constellations, stars and deep-sky objects. They monitored the sun with a solar filter, measuring the time of day as the ancients did.
They visited Weber State University's Ott Planetarium for a star show, built and launched bottle rockets, and toured Northridge High School's observatory.
Dedicated last month, Farmington Junior High teacher Greg Domgaard says it's the only observatory at a public school in Utah.
Far from a shack, the building --- which was dedicated last month -- has an automated retractable roof and houses a $50,000 telescope, which was donated by a private citizen.
Not all of the campers were children. Clinton Elementary School sixth-grade teachers Jody Kadel and Sybil Jemmett participated in the $150 camp alongside kids.
In sixth grade, students spend half the year learning about astronomy. Kadel and Jemmett hoped to pick up a few pointers on how to better teach the unit.
"These guys are incredible," Kadel said. "I've learned so much just from watching these guys. I need to get that transferred over to my kids in my class."
Aside from improving their teaching repertoire, the teachers admitted they were just as giddy to receive their telescopes as the students.

Albertus Magnus College is pleased to introduce the Accelerated Master of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies for adult students who wish to complete their Master's Degree at a fast pace. Since we recognize that most adult students must juggle family, career, and other responsibilities, we offer classes in the evening at a flexible schedule. However, what makes our program unique is that our classes are shortened to eight week modules (instead of the traditional sixteen week semesters.) Therefore, our students are able to complete twice as many courses in the same timeframe as those students who attend traditional colleges!
The Liberal Studies Program offers the adult learner the opportunity to explore the social, humanistic, and scientific dimensions of our world through graduate-level study. Unlike more narrowly focused graduate programs, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies broadens the mind through many different disciplines. Students will develop their critical thinking, communication, and research skills through a lively engagement with important ideas and informed class discussions.
Master of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies is offered in three flexible formats:
"The Liberal Studies program at Albertus Magnus immersed me in the disciplines of history, literature, religion, creative writing, philosophy, anthropology, and psychology. The incorporation of these disciplines in my life has led to a deeper understanding of self, transcendence, nature and how I fit into society. The journey was wonderful!"
– Emily G. Coyle, Class of 2005
In its dedication to a liberal arts education, Albertus Magnus College affirms its fidelity to the life of the mind and of the human spirit. The Albertus philosophy is that training in the liberal arts is an excellent preparation for a fulfilling life. Accordingly, this liberal arts program leads the student through an integrated study of the human person and of our human community in its various cultures and civilizations, and in its approaches to the natural world. The program accomplishes its goals by providing the student the opportunity to think critically upon, and to communicate clearly about certain inter-related themes as ground for understanding our world. Through this integrated frame of reference, provided in a trans-disciplinary context, this program offers a broadened mode of inquiry into, and conceptualization of, the issues and ideas encountered. In summary, the Liberal Studies Program is dedicated to the realization of the Dominican ideal to search for truth in all its dimensions.
Students take a total of ten classes (30 credits) and complete a Final Project (3 credits), for a total of thirty-three credit hours. All students take the Liberal Studies seminar in "Examining Culture and Civilization," and choose their remaining nine courses. Some of our current classes include "Drafting the Self," "Moral Leadership," "Cultural Anthropology," "Women and Society in Early Modern Europe," "Human Genome," and "The Eye of the Heart." With faculty assistance, students design their own Final Project, which may be a creative work, a traditional thesis, or a combination of both. Some recent Final Projects have explored the nature of art and mysticism, offered poetic and musical compositions, and interpreted Shakespeare's Hamlet!

Does Guest Blogging Really Benefit SEO?
Matt Cutts posted a video last week explaining how Google views guest blog posts. He explained that they see two types of guest posts, and how Google reacted to each kind.
The first type are the high quality, insightful posts that people really want on their blogs. These are contributed by bloggers with more experience as a way to share their ideas with a wider audience. They can also be by up-and-coming bloggers, posting on well-known blogs to build their own audience. These bloggers have something unique to say. They are excellent at expressing their ideas and they write posts that people enjoy reading.
The second type of guest blogger does things completely differently. These are the bloggers that contact multiple blogs at a time, offering a 'unique' guest post in exchange for a link back to their site. Some may even pay to place their blog post on your site. These bloggers are interested in just one thing–they want a link. They usually aren't interested in writing an excellent blog post or sharing their viewpoints, and their posts reflect that. They're mediocre or worse, and no one is jumping to read them.
Google tries to reward the first type of blogger, and usually ignores the second. This is inline with Google's commitment to quality and user benefit over just playing the SEO game. They want you to guest blog because you have something fantastic to share, not because you want some extra SEO love.
Matt forgot one kind of guest blogger, though. Not everyone who guest blogs falls into those two categories. Sometimes, guest blogging is part of building a community. You find a blogger that really meshes with your style, or who can add something new to what you're offering, so you agree to exchange posts. You both benefit equally; one blogger isn't more popular than the other. While this might not greatly benefit your SEO right away, it can improve the number of people reading and sharing your work. This will eventually turn into a better reputation, or a more recognizable brand, which will improve your SEO.
Does guest blogging improve your SEO? It can, but only if you're focusing more on quality and building relationships and less on improving your SEO. That doesn't mean, however, that you should ignore the rules of SEO for guest posts; keywords (and how you use them) still matter. Just don't write them solely for the purpose of improving your SEO.
Have you ever been contacted by a blogger just trying to earn a link back to their site? How did you respond?

CUMBERLAND — It was standing room only as a large gathering of Cumberland police officers, as well as their families, crowded the Town Council's chambers Wednesday to witness the swearing-in of Cumberland's two newest police recruits.
Officers Josh Vaughn and Gregory J. Pomfret were officially sworn in at a 20-minute ceremony presided over by Police Chief John R. Desmarais. Mayor Daniel J. McKee swore-in the two officers.
In his remarks, McKee said the town is proud to have two officers with local roots serving in the Cumberland Police Department, a nationally accredited police department.
Of the approximately 15,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States and Canada, only 450 — including Cumberland — are accredited.
Accreditation serves to distinguish participating organizations as having met professional standards of conduct and service.
"It's great to have the Police Department here and to have two young local kids with roots to the town joining our Police Department is very exciting," McKee said. "We're blessed when our young people stay with us. These two officers also represent the best in the application pool and ranked in the top 10 percent of their class."
"These two officers rose through the ranks of our recruitment process and attended and graduated from the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy and tonight they are here with their family and friends," added Desmarais.
Vaughn was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. At the age of 14, he and his parents moved to Cumberland, where his mother grew up.
Vaughn graduated from Cumberland High School and then joined the Marine Corps, attending boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. He spent a year in Japan and traveled throughout Southeast Asia, conducting humanitarian missions in the Philippines.
He was re-assigned to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and was deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In 2006, he married his wife, Ashley, and later welcomed a baby girl. That same year he was honorably discharged from the Marines.
Vaughn moved to Lincoln, Nebraska to pursue a degree in criminology at the University of Nebraska.
In 2010, Vaughn and his family moved back to Rhode Island and now live in North Smithfield.
Pomfret was born in 1985 in Woonsocket. In 1988, his family moved to Burrillville where Pomfret attended and graduated Burrillville High School. While at school, Pomfret played football, baseball and golf.
He attended Rhode Island College where he earned a bachelors degree in operations management in 2008.
He worked in sales and marketing at Liberty Mutual Insurance in Westborough, Mass., and in inside sales at Invoke Solutions in Waltham, Mass. He also held down a second job tending bar at the Crystal Lake Golf course in Burrillville.
Before he was recruited to the police force, he worked with special needs students at the Rhode Island Transition Academy in Warwick.
Both officers will be assigned to the Patrol Division.

If you've ever eaten traditional Duchesse potatoes, you'll love this recipe for Duchesse potato cakes! I was compensated for this post as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser, but all content and thoughts expressed in this post are my own.
So how is my version compared to the original? I amped up the flavor with bits of roasted red peppers and finished them off with a drizzle of my zero carb Parmesan cheese sauce.
Yes, you read that correctly… I'm going to show you how to make one of my favorite comfort foods, Duchesse potato cakes, with potatoes that I purchased from my local Pick 'n Save store, which are topped with a roux-based cheese sauce that has NO carbs. Are you ready?! Let the indulgent food happiness begin!
Hi… my name is Becca and I'm crazy for carbs! Well, in this particular case, the Heaven-sent carb known as potatoes. Growing up in a German household with 8 mouths to feed meant that my mom used potatoes in a LOT of recipes. They're economically priced and they're filling, so it's obvious why she chose to cook with them, and why I picked up that same habit. Besides, they're so versatile! I've used potatoes in everything from casseroles and soups to side dishes, and of course, I just love to eat them on their own! I loved potatoes so much as a kid that we had a baked potato bar at my 13th birthday party. Everyone chose their own toppings, including broccoli and carrots that I had picked from my mom's garden… it was SO much fun and SO delicious! Oh, and once I got into culinary school and learned about finger potatoes and my absolute favorite variety, purple potatoes, I was smitten all over again.
If you've been hanging around this blog for a while, you likely know two important things about me. One, I'm trying to control my intake of carbohydrates. To that end, portion size has been the key to my low-carb eating success, Second fact about me is that I'm a lazy chef. If there's a short cut to be taken in the kitchen, I'm the one who'll take it. Hence the reason that these are perfectly portioned Duchesse potato cakes and not mountainous piles of potatoes that have meticulously piped from a pastry bag. Do a search for Duchesse potatoes and you'll see what they traditionally look like. Pretty as a picture, but huge in portion size and really time consuming to prepare. They're perfect for presentation purposes at a fancy party, but when they're just going to be devoured by two carb-loving adults in the presence of two crazy felines, why bother? Bring on the easy presentation, please!
I noticed something special when I shopped at #MyPicknSave last week. The layout of the produce section has really improved. Look how pretty and organized it is.
I even stopped by the Pick 'n Save Facebook page to let them know how pleased I was about the changes that I noticed. They appreciate knowing things like that. I love whoever handles their Twitter page, too. They're always quick about responding to questions.
- Potatoes are 80% water and 20% solids
- A 5.3 ounce potato has about 100 calories, zero fat grams, 4 grams of protein, and 23 net carbs (carbs minus fiber)
- Each year, the average American eats an average of 50 pounds of fresh potatoes, 55 pounds of frozen potatoes, and 17 pounds of potato chips!
My Duchesse potato cakes recipe will make you 8 patties, each weighing about 5 ounces, so even with the addition of egg yolk and a little drizzle of my no-carb Parmesan sauce, you're looking at just over 100 calories per cake. Not too bad for comfort food if you ask me.
Duchesse potatoes are basically mashed potatoes without the milk, but an egg yolk is added to give them color and consistency so that they can be piped from a pastry bag. If you're watching your cholesterol, you're vegan, have allergies, or you're avoiding eggs for any other reason, you can use an egg substitute and it'll work just fine. I found roasted red pepper STRIPS at the store, which gives another star to the convenience factor of this recipe. Just chop them into bite sized pieces and you're good to go. If you can't find jarred roasted pepper strips, don't worry about it. Just use the regular kind and cut them up the same way. I brushed the tops of the Duchesse potato cakes with an egg wash to give them a little added color. An egg wash is just an egg that's mixed with a Tablespoon or so of water. If desired, you can use an egg substitute in this case as well.
I want to give a public shout out of thanks to the great folks in the #CollectiveBias community. All of the team and the bloggers I've worked with have become like family to me. A big virtual hug to all of you for being so awesome and for allowing me to create recipes for the brands and companies I adore…like Pick 'n Save!
I ALSO want to thank you, my sweet readers, for stopping by to read my posts. By doing so, you're helping to keep me in the business of creating new recipes, which has been a complete joy and dream come true for me. I hope that my recipes and stories give you just what you need to keep your stomach AND your spirit well fed.

- 40 ounces (2.5 pounds) russet or golden yellow potatoes
- 2 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk, plus 1 whole egg (for egg wash)
- 2 Tablespoons water (for egg wash)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste, if desired)
- 1/4 teaspoon white or black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, diced small
For the Parmesan Sauce
- 1 liquid cup (8 ounces) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white or black pepper
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
- Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into quarters. Add potatoes to a large pot, add enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, then bring to a boil over high heat. Once potatoes are fork tender, drain water and return to the pot for a minute to absorb excess moisture.
- Mash potatoes with a potato masher or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment to remove large lumps . Once potatoes are mashed, change to whip attachment If using a stand mixer, Add egg yolk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and whip until creamy and smooth, but be careful not to over mix or your potatoes will become gummy and dry.
- Add red peppers to the bowl and combine with your hands, forming mixture into patties approximately 3/4-inch thick and 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Transfer to prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Bake on top rack of oven about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Use this time to prepare the Parmesan sauce.
Parmesan Sauce
- Add butter to a medium sized saucepan. Melt over medium heat and whisk in Xanthan gum. Allow mixture to cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk. (If you add it too quickly, it won't incorporate with the roux and your sauce will separate.) Add cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until combined. Drizzle over baked potato cakes and garnish with chopped parsley.

Two years after Andrew Garfield made his debut as Peter Parker, Spidey is back in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," and like the sequel itself, he's much more comfortable in his own skin.
Picking up as Peter and his first love, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) are graduating from high school, everything is in a state of flux.
Still haunted by the death of her late father's (Denis Leary) dying words, Peter is flailing a bit in his relationship, but he's slowly earning the city's respect as the masked crime-fighting vigilante.
During a routine outing, Spider-Man saves Mark (Jamie Foxx), a bumbling-but-brilliant Oscorp employee who just wants to be seen.
His kind words convert the man into an unsettling Spidey devotee before a lab accident leads to a much bigger transformation, into the electricity-absorbing Electro.
The terrifically-rendered Electro quickly becomes a modern-day Frankenstein's monster, becoming the villain the world assumes he is, accompanied by some groan-inducing expository dialogue and a regrettable dubstep soundtrack that will inevitably age the film in a few short years.
Raising the bar in its use of CGI, the combat scenes between Spider-Man and Electro are visually innovative in a way that is nothing short of astonishing, potentially at the cost of the makeup budget for one of the film's other baddies.
Speaking of which, despite initial fears of a sequel overloaded with villains, the nearly two-and-a-half hour movie is nothing of the sort.
While much of "The Amazing Spider-Man" felt a bit like a rehash of the first Tobey Maguire-led "Spider-Man," necessitated by the title character's origin story, the follow-up also pays off the 2012 blockbuster's most interesting subplot: the disappearance of Peter's parents.
During his obsessive search for truth, Peter is reintroduced to his childhood friend, Harry Osborn, who was shuffled off the boarding school nearly a decade ago.
Dane DeHaan plays the latest iteration of Harry, a flamboyant, hard-edged teen who is handed a great deal of power (and responsibility) due to his estranged father's failing health.
Both sons of Oscorp's founding fathers, family secrets have entangled the boys' futures together, all while creating deep cracks in the foundation of their friendship.
"Spider-Man" succeeds in large part as a superhero movie simply because it would still make a powerful coming-of-age story if stripped of all its comic book elements.
Peter's complicated feelings for Gwen and the pain and confusion that stems from his parents' abandonment ring true in a way that often feels hollow within the genre.
Wisely hinting at "sinister" things to come, this solid second entry forces Peter to gather his strength in the face of profound loss, as there are surely even greater adversaries to come.
Rated PG-13, in theaters Friday.

On 6 April 2012, UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration, the new name for the UK Border Agency) changed the Tier 5 visa rules to allow a dedicated scheme under which pre-registration employment is allowed, prior to you leaving the UK. You will not require an employer to sponsor you. Instead, under the special Tier 5 scheme, you will have to be sponsored by an 'overarching body' (see the UKBA register of sponsors). The College of Optometrists and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society are both established as 'overarching sponsors' for pre-reg students in their respective sectors.
UKVI have also made it possible to switch in the UK from a Tier 4 (General) or old-style Student visa into Tier 5, if:
After your pre-registration, it will not be possible to switch from a Tier 5 visa into Tier 2 without first leaving the UK and applying from abroad. By applying for Tier 5 you are in effect declaring to UKVI that you do not intend to pursue a career in the UK. This means that you will not be able to commit to working for your employer after the pre-reg year. For those who wish to complete their UK registration and then return home to practise, this is not a problem.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society will sponsor MPharm graduates under their Pharmacy Professional Sponsorship Scheme (PPSS). This will only be available to MPharm students enrolled in the UK on Pharmacy programmes who will graduate in 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015. If you wish to work in the UK for a while after the pre-reg (not possible with Tier 5, see below) it might be better to apply under Tier 2 (General), where the minimum annual salary for pre-reg students is £20,500. UK Visas and Immigration expect that migrants will have obtained or applied for their Tier 5 visa prior to starting their pre-reg placement.
The PPSS was introduced specifically to support those overseas (non-EEA) pharmacy students who were studying pharmacy at GB universities at the time of the closure of the Tier 1 Post-Study Work (PSW) visa in April 2012, and who:• Graduate in 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 with an MPharm• Have a pre-registration position (supernumerary) with a GPhC accredited premises• Earn below the Tier 2 salary criteria; or whose placement is split i.e. six months in industry and six months in hospital• Are RPS members.
If you meet the above criteria and are eligible to apply, you need to do the following:
1. Read the PPSS handbook on the RPS website for more information on how the scheme works.
2. Apply for your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) no more than 3 months before your pre-reg placement is due to start. You will need to complete the PPSS application form which is on the RPS website. There are sections that must be completed by yourself, your employer and the School of Pharmacy (Aston). You will need to book an appointment with Monjur Ahmed in The Hub as she will need to complete the School of Pharmacy section of the application form, check it is correctly and fully completed, see original copies of your documents and verify photocopies of them. Without the verified copies of these documents the RPS will not issue a CoS to you. Once the application form is complete and all relevant documents are copied and verified, Laura will send this to the RPS on your behalf.
3. The RPS will issue you with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) confirming that they will sponsor you for the duration of your pre-reg placement. You will need the CoS for your Tier 5 GAE visa application.
4. Apply for the Tier 5 GAE visa. You should book another appointment with Monjur Ahmed in The Hub before you apply so that he can check your visa application form and documents.
5. Ensure that you have £945 of funds held in your account for a consecutive period of 90 days, with a closing balance dated within 28 days of the date of application. Funds must not fall below this amount during the 90 days.
For more information please read the FAQs on the RPS website.
Alternatively you may be able to apply for the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme visa. This visa is only available to 18-30 year olds of certain nationalities but if you are eligible to apply it will give you permission to work full-time in the UK for 2 years. See the Tier 5 Temporary Work webpage for further details.
The RPS will only sponsor MSc OSPAP graduates to do their pre-registration year if they have graduated in 2012 or 2013 (and no later). The current RPS guidelines for the PPSS state that OSPAP students graduating in 2012 or 2013 will be eligible as long as they have obtained the OSPAP MSc. Those with the OSPAP PG Diploma are not eligible to apply. If you enrolled on the OSPAP course from September 2013 onwards then you will need to be able to apply for the Tier 2 General visa if you need a work visa to do your pre-registration in the UK. If you graduated from the MSc OSPAP course in 2012 or 2013 please contact Monjur Ahmed in The Hub to find out if you may be eligible for sponsorship from the RPS to do your pre-reg placement.
International BSc Optometry students at Aston who will require a visa for their pre-reg placement have a number of options:
You may be offered the opportunity of continuing your studies by doing the MOptom alongside your pre-reg placement. If you decide to do the MOptom you will be able to extend your Tier 4 Student visa until the course end date of the MOptom plus an extra 4 months. This will cover you to do your pre-reg. As the pre-reg will become a work placement as part of the course you are allowed to do this full-time on a Tier 4 Student visa. It will also be easier to apply for a Tier 2 General visa if you want to continue working in the UK after your pre-reg placement has finished. Please note that the Tier 4 visa cannot be extended after the MOptom has finished even if you have not yet completed your pre-reg but you may be able to get sponsorship from the College of Optometrists for this (see below).
The College of Optometrists will sponsor BSc Optometry graduates under their scheme for pre-reg students. Those students who decide not to take the MOptom may be able to get a visa under Tier 5 instead. You won't be able to work in the UK after your pre-reg if you use Tier 5 (see below), so all students are advised to take the MOptom and extend Tier 4 where possible. The College also state on their website that they will not allow students to start their pre-reg until the Tier 5 visa has been granted and received, unless they are taking it as a placement as part of the MOptom programme.
This visa is only available to 18-30 year olds of certain nationalities but if you are eligible to apply it will give you permission to work full-time in the UK for 2 years. See the Tier 5 Temporary Work webpage for further details:
