DEFINITION of 'Mini Forex Account'
A type of forex account that allows the trader to enter positions that are one-tenth the size of the standard lot of 100,000 units. A one-pip change in a currency pair (based in U.S. dollars), is equal to $1 when trading a mini lot, compared to $10 for a standard-lot trade. Mini lots are available to trade if you open a mini account with a forex dealer.
BREAKING DOWN 'Mini Forex Account'
Mini forex accounts are commonly used by beginner traders who are looking to gain experience in the forex markets. Traders are not limited to only trading one lot at a time, so these accounts are ideal for increasing exposure as trading confidence builds. To make an equivalent trade to one standard lot, a trader can just trade 10 mini lots. By using mini lots instead of standard lots, a trader is able to customize the trade and obtain greater control of his or her risk.

So many bones were broken to make this.
Just when you thought that you'd seen everything in sports, something entirely new happens.
Last night in game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Blackhawks and Ducks were tied 2-2 with about 11 minutes left in the second overtime. Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen stopped a Patrick Kane shot, but the rebound popped up in the air right in front of the net. The Blackhawks' Andrew Shaw then pulled a move from the soccer world, jumping in the air and headbutting the puck into the net.
Mitt Romeny and Evander Holyfield had their big charity boxing match in Salt Lake City on Friday night.

Once in a while, the social media gods send us a gift. Today, it comes courtesy of the Discovery Channel, which was just doing its Discovery Channel thing by tweeting out a little flightless Antarctic bird factoid:
The NFL has come down hard on Tom Brady.
A reporter became overly emotional as she read the baseball highlights over the weekend.
The St. Louis Cardinals swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in their recent series, which is a sad state of affairs, but shouldn't be difficult news to deliver if you're a sports reporter.
Remember "Deflategate"? The NFL released the so-called Wells Report earlier today (full doc here), the result of a months-long, extensive investigation into whether the footballs used in the Patriots-Colts AFC Championship Game back in January were illegally tampered with. So were they? According to the report, probably.
The 2015 NFL Draft ended late Saturday in Chicago. Now that all 32 teams have finished making their picks, let's see which franchises and players fared best (and worst):

Married Couples Who Intentionally Chose Sterilization For Contraceptive Purposes And Lasting Repentance
by Monsignor Charles M. Mangan
A common theme that has resounded for over three decades is that many�if not most�Catholic married couples in Western countries are currently demonstrating in practice their rejection of the Church�s authoritative and binding teaching that proclaims that each occasion of sexual intercourse must be open to the transmission of human life. While one may dispute numbers and percentages of those Catholics involved, a fair judgment of the situation reveals that especially since the �Sexual Revolution� of the 1960s, a significant portion of Catholic married couples has used or is presently using some form of contraceptive.
As is increasingly well-known, there are some devices implanted, chemical formulae injected, and even other products taken orally that are routinely referred to as �contraceptives� but are in fact effective after conception has occurred, thereby making these abortion-inducing agents (�abortifacients�). Sadly, a large section of the public, cutting across boundaries of race, economic status, education and creed, are woefully ignorant about the abortifacient quality of Depo-Provera, RU-486, the Intrauterine Device, the �Morning-After Pill,� Norplant, the �emergency contraceptive� and in some cases the common �Pill.� Therefore, literally millions of persons throughout the world are �silently� aborting, thinking all the while that they are preventing conception when in fact they are unwittingly snuffing out the lives of preborn children.
But all is not lost. True sorrow, resolute amendment of life and deep awareness of the Truth, inspired by the Holy Spirit Who is the Lord and Giver of Life and the Master of the Truth, are possible. By yielding to God�s abundant grace, a married couple who are contracepting or aborting may humbly surrender to the Truth, acknowledge their sin and sincerely repent of their error. How? By stopping the process of contracepting or aborting. Authentic repentance demands the avoidance of any and every method of contraception and those forms that parade as contraceptives but are in reality abortifacients.
However, imagine a married couple who have done something permanent in order to prevent conception. The husband has undergone a vasectomy or the wife a tubal ligation. There immediately appears to be a substantial and ongoing problem. How can this couple show their genuine sorrow since the effect of the direct sterilization continues unabated? May they ever be really reconciled to their Creator, thereby shunning their sin and the prevailing ethos of the Culture of Death and assume their place in the Christian community as those who give good example to others and testify to the Truth, notwithstanding the not insignificant cost?
This essay offers guidance for married couples who deliberately selected sterilization to prevent conception. Although the teaching of the Catholic Church is the foundation for this article, the remarks herein are not limited to Catholic married couples who chose to be sterilized so as not to conceive but are germane to persons of all faiths and to those of no faith, because the doctrine of the Catholic Church is based on Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Natural Law�the trio of sources expressing the One Truth that sustains and applies to everyone without exception.
It is hoped that all married couples who intentionally chose to be sterilized so as not to conceive but who seek forgiveness and a new beginning in Christ and those married couples in the same category but who have never thought much about the vital importance of rejecting the sin of direct sterilization and the subsequent urgent need of conversion will benefit from these brief reflections.
The Nature Of Sterilization
Germain G. Grisez and John F. Kippley�each a Catholic layman, husband and father�treat this issue and have provided excellent material for careful pondering.
As Grisez keenly and succinctly observes, sterilization intended as a means of birth control (often referred to as �direct,� �deliberate� or �intentional� sterilization) is intrinsically evil, for it fails to promote the good of the human person because of its adamant refusal to accept the inherent procreative (�life-giving�) dimension of the marital act as built into it by God. (The other inherent aspect of the marital act is the personalist [unitive]or �person-uniting� dimension.)
No benefit to the person as a whole can justify any procedure which brings about sterility and is chosen for that very purpose. In no way does sterility as such truly benefit anyone; it only facilitates sexual intercourse�the distinct act in and through which some benefit is expected�by excluding conception. Thus, the intention of choosing sterilization is contraceptive, and the sterilizing act is at ...

pls i need an answer on this as it is an activity that is bound to affect my marital relationship. sexual intercourse is an activity for myself and my spouse, but the fear is having children that we can cater for. Now if one or either of us is in the mood and we know its not safe as it will definitly lead to pregnancy, what then should we do? Following the natural birth control, a couple may only be able to get involved sexually like 4 times in a month! so what now happens to the remaining days of the month if the couples, as said earlier are in the mood? Lets remember that this is one of the reasons st. Paul encouraged marriage in the book of 1st Cor. 7. Instead of persons to burn, should get married. one cannot afford to be having Children every year as sexual intercourse will definitely lead to pregnancy if carried out in an unsafe period. Truelly i am confused and need help. what should i do in this regard? Its urgent please.
Thank you.

The Egyptians used birth control thousands of years ago. There is nothing wrong with a couple deciding when they feel they can have childen and how many they can handle, financially and emotionally. Much better than the abuse and poverty we too often see. This article is unbelievable and I totally disagree with it. I thankfully left the Catholic church as have two of my children. My husband, who was a seminarian, had a vasectomy and feels absolutely no guilt about it. It seems you want women to be barefoot and pregnant. The church should address the majority of Catholics who use birth control and priests should tell them in Sunday sermons that they are terrible sinners and must repent or leave the church. I am sure the pews would not be filled the next Sunday and contributions would be few.

I was not raised Catholic. I was raised in the post modern contraceptive age. Every message of my life from childhood onward. From my parents, my grandparents, the media, the school ... Everywhere I turned the message was reinforced ... That led to a multitude of sins .. which culminated in choosing a tubal ligation at the age of 27; 6 months after the birth of our second child. We were in a financial distress, my mother had died at the age of 46 of breast cancer (I later learned she'd had 3 abortions in her life) and I was terrified beyond all reason at the thought of having another child we couldn't "afford."
IT WAS BY FAR THE WORST AND MOST HORRIBLE DECISION I'VE EVER MADE. It's ruined my life, the lives of my kids (they have been deprived of siblings) and especially permanently (how that word seemed benign at one time) damaged my marriage. I will never enjoy true trust and intimacy with my H. I have repented of this sin, and yet will pay the price into old age ... Because it can never be undone, I can never truly turn from this sin and live a life filled with joy and peace.
Please, everyone reading this: do not take this action. And tell everyone you know not to do this ever! Spread the word that this is monstrous thing that is happening and it's ruining people's lives and our culture.

I just read this comment today - 10-8-10 - seeing how the archbishop of our archdiocese has taken so much into his own hands to spread things about other groups in our society. I wondered what he would do if I went to communion with a sign saying I had a tubal done the morning after our last child was born. After having 5 pregnancies, my health seriously compromised, I decided to do this with the Dr.'s advice. My husband and I both agreed it was the best thing so I could be here to raise our two beautiful children we had worked so hard to get. Why would God almighty judge me for this? Are you stating it would be better for me to die than be here to raise our children and see our grandchildren? I've never had one bit of remorse about this procedure and yes, I did it intentionally. I don't believe God judged me for that and no amount of talk will convince me otherwise. Would I be denied communion like the gays and lesbians are from Neinstadt? I'd just go elsewhere and have my own personal communion of our Lord. Everyone is entitled to this - a group of men appointed by the boys club does not have the right to do this or portray those of us as sinners. Let them be the first to cast a stone.

Does the Church permit sterilization under any circumstance; especially women?
Was watching documentary on Mozambique - where doctors are in short supply. They are training mid-wives to take on responsibility of birthing and
C-section. Then, assigning them
to rural areas. A mid-wife delivered a still-born and then took it upon herself to sterilize the mother because she felt that another pregnancy would kill her. This is why I'm asking. Also, this country is a former Portuguese colony, and although not mentioned in documentary - some of these mid-wives are Catholic.

I'm sterilized for 6 years and loving it. I'd do it all over again in an instant! I guess Catholic clergy doesn't have to worry about this issue, huh?

Stock prices opened higher on Friday as investors digested data that pointed to tame inflation and strength in consumer spending. "The retail numbers are where the action is at," Jim Paulsen, chief investment officer at Wells Capital Management, told Reuters. "With all the concerns about the consumer, and the fact a number of retailers suggested weaker sales this week, this is a big number." The blue-chip Dow industrials moved 17 points higher in the first few minutes of trading, as sentiment was helped by McDonald's Corp.'s upbeat profit outlook, which offset a downgrade of Citigroup Inc.

Haha. I've been doing exactly the same thing...worrying that I don't feel pregnant enough, and thinking that maybe I had more symptoms a different day. I went out on Monday and bought a 2 pack of FRERs (they were on sale for $7 off at the drugstore - woohoo!). Like yours, my test line showed up instantly and was super super dark, and then the control line was much fainter than the test line. I've still got the second FRER waiting for the next time I'm not feeling pregnant enough, lol! I'm sure we'll start feeling more pregnant soon!
Thanks everybody EDD 1/6/2010

As the week one contest against the San Diego Chargers approaches, it becomes increasingly clear that DeAndre Levy won't be suiting up for the Detroit Lions. A groin injury will be holding the star linebacker out, and it appears Josh Bynes will be the man forced to step into the weakside linebacker spot. It goes without saying that the Lions will miss Levy. Not only was he a key...

On Oct. 6, 2011, she called the police because Pragana took her car keys during a fight, according to Salt Lake County District Attorney Gill. When officers arrived, Pragana told them that when he was angry he thought it wiser to drive away. Alexander says Pragana took her children to the den after the officers arrived. "You better make them believe," were his parting words, she says. The police told her they could see she was scared and that they would return, she says, but they did not come back. UPD filed it as no more than a "domestic argument," Gill says.
In mid-October, Alexander and her children moved out of the Kearns house to an apartment. Once she had a safe place for her family to live, she felt ready to turn in Pragana. Why it took her so long to turn him in, she says, reflects the highly complex, frightening situation she was in with her partner. "I can see how they look at me as a co-conspirator, but, once again, this is my life and my children's life on the line. So, no, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to die."
She also says there were cultural issues at play. "Our way of life, we don't get cops involved in things," she says. "People are afraid to call the police; that's simply how it is."
"Why Didn't You Leave?"
On Oct. 26, 2011, Alexander called 911 and told the dispatcher she had information "about All-A-Dollar robberies, Family Dollar robberies and gas station robberies," according to a police report, and left her cell-phone number and her first name. Detectives identified Alexander through her cell-phone number and found the Oct. 6 domestic-violence incident in their records. UPD and the District Attorney's Office drew up a search warrant for Pragana to do a DNA swab to check against the DNA profile they'd secured from several victims.
After Unified Police Department detective Isaac Pace called Alexander several times and left messages, on Oct. 30, 2011, she called him back in the late evening and they spoke for an hour.
They agreed to meet on Halloween, but that day, she says, she couldn't get away from Pragana. She "did not honor this appointment," Pace wrote in a report. UPD was concerned their lead on the serial rapist had disappeared. Pace texted and called, but a scared Alexander says she didn't pick up because Pragana was sitting next to her. The next day, Pace arrested her for an outstanding traffic-related warrant, handcuffed her and took her to the station.
"I've got to get [Pragana] in custody right now," Pace told her. "I need your help to do that. We're not sleeping till I get him in handcuffs."
By then, UPD had had officers watching for Pragana at his house. The information Alexander had given them, Gill says, meant the officers now had probable cause to arrest him.
On Nov. 1, UPD, Taylorsville detectives and U.S. marshals arrested Pragana at a North Salt Lake warehouse where he was working. He fought and tried to flee officers, who Tasered him before they got the cuffs on him. Pragana was charged with a misdemeanor for resisting arrest.
Alexander was released by the police and returned to her home, only for her and her children to be evicted, she says, after employees at the apartment complex recognized Pragana from the TV-news coverage of his arrest.
UPD's victim advocate Nubia Pena found Alexander and her children shelter at the YWCA, a high-security complex for domestic violence survivors and their dependents.
Several days later, Pace and Pena gave her $500. Alexander felt they were paying her off to go away. Miller feels differently. UPD "realized the situation she was in, placed her in shelter care and also gave her money to live off of until she got on her feet."
On Nov. 4, 2011, Alexander says, she gave the authorities seven pages chronicling Pragana's abuse of her, which included disturbing details of two sexual assaults. No charges, however, were brought against Pragana based on Alexander's complaints.
District Attorney Gill says that the story she was telling attorneys and different agencies "continued to evolve in complexity and the seriousness of offenses." That complexity, he says, "did not readily or easily render [itself] to be subject to cross-examination" on the stand, further undermining any possibility that Pragana might be charged based on her complaints against him.
"The perception we throw every possible charge we can at him is not accurate," UPD's Hutson says. "DV incidents, be it right or wrong, are not nearly as notorious as abductions, kidnappings or people being robbed at gunpoint." In addition, "historical DV reports are extremely difficult to prove. They come down to 'he said, she said.' "
Michaela Andruzzi, formerly a senior sex-crimes prosecutor at the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office, now works as a defense attorney. She says that stranger rape, while a rarity, arouses public emotion, so "there's a premium put on it" when it comes to investigating and prosecuting such cases. However, intimate-partner sexual violence does not come with the same cachet. Such claims by victims, while far more prevalent, are also often viewed more suspiciously by detectives. "They can't blame a victim when it's a stranger rape, but when it's a DV rape, they can look at you and say, 'Why didn't you leave?' " Andruzzi says. Alexander says a detective asked her that exact question.
Andruzzi argues that a victim of domestic violence "in a sense is almost like a child. You're going to expect a child to turn a parent in? You feel almost powerless." Then, to suffer, as Alexander did from Pragana, sexual assault "is the worst thing that can ever happen to you," the ex-prosecutor says. "It's like surviving a murder. You go on with the rest of your life, but nothing is the same."
In March 2012, Alexander met with prosecutors at the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office to see what they were going to do about Pragana's assaults upon her. The short answer was nothing. "They kept saying I was an accessory, I was made comfortable by these crimes. What about me makes you think I don't deserve justice?" she says now. "All it would have taken was some black ink on white paper. At least he would have admitted what he was doing to me was wrong."
"Be a Good Girl, Or I'll Shoot You"
On March 9, 2012, as part of a plea deal that cut his charges almost by half, Pragana pleaded guilty to eight counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of aggravated kidnapping, an attempted aggravated kidnapping and two counts of aggravated sexual assault. The court dismissed 22 other counts, although Pragana would have to pay restitution on all 39 counts he was charged with.
In late May 2012, prosecutor Matthew Janzen filed a motion seeking a 35-year sentence for Pragana. He would be 58 when he got out, at which point he would be deported to Brazil. Janzen wrote that "there are now 19 lives permanently affected by [Pragana's] criminal actions," and then listed them by initials. In an e-mail included in the court file, 22 victims were listed by name. Neither list contains Alexander's name.
Pragana's attorney, Michael Peterson, asked 3rd District Court Judge Robin Reese not to accept a letter Alexander submitted to the court, since she was not listed as a victim, "and what she's talking about is not any of the criminal activity he pleaded to." Peterson questioned her "motivations and agendas," given "what was going on with my client and Ms. Alexander at the time these crimes were occurring." If Peterson fought that hard not to let Alexander's letter in, Gill asks, how much harder might he have fought to impeach Alexander as a witness?
Pragana came before Judge Reese for sentencing on June 11, 2012. Prosecutor Janzen cited a "chilling" comment by Pragana in his pre-sentencing evaluation. His crimes, Pragana told a prison official, "started off to help my family and neighbor, then overpowering people and having a handgun made me excited to do the sexual assault." Janzen questioned whether Pragana should ever be a candidate for parole.
Janzen described one incident where Pragana sexually assaulted a robbery victim so violently that he caused her to vomit. "Do it right, be a good girl, or I'll shoot you," he told her. In her statement of assaults submitted to the authorities the previous November, Alexander had accused Pragana of doing the same thing to her.
While Judge Reese accepted Alexander's letter into the court record, his comments did not bring the validation she might have hoped for. "She may have had some complicity in the crimes, and by writing this letter she is trying to excuse herself of her behavior," Reese said, shortly before sentencing Pragana to 35 years.
"I never had a chance to tell my side of the story," Alexander says. "I was never able to say anything on my behalf." While some in law enforcement see a contradiction between her wanting to be protected as a domestic-violence victim and wanting to confront Pragana in court, she disagrees. She wanted him "to face what he did to those poor women."
The Healing Process
In the months since Pragana began his prison sentence in Gunnison, in central Utah, Alexander took courses in domestic-violence and sexual-assault crisis counseling and started a nonprofit called The Mended Wounds Association, which she hopes will assist domestic-violence victims hold offenders accountable.
In the summer, Alexander gave birth to Pragana's son, Thristian. "What's so heart-aching for me is to have to see my son's beautiful face and know, one day, I'll have to answer some really serious questions. I'll have to explain not only to my children but [Pragana's] child why's he not here."
Miller, for one, hopes Alexander can heal. "I do want her to be who she's destined to be. But it's got to be on her terms. It's a process she has to go through, and it looks different for every victim."
One detective familiar with the case argues that Alexander's bravery should be commended. UPD Detective Tim Duran, who worked Pragana's ATM robberies in Taylorsville, says regardless of her motivations, many people in the valley owe Alexander a debt. "I'm thankful she came forward. I'm sure all the other victims are glad too." While his agency had DNA on Pragana and would have gotten him eventually, he believes, "his violence was escalating, he was becoming bold. She sped up the process. She probably saved some other people being attacked or robbed. I'm glad he's off the streets."
Ultimately, Alexander wants the police department and the District Attorney's Office to acknowledge "how this case was handled from the beginning was inappropriate, wrong." Her concern is for those in the future who bring allegations of domestic violence and rape to the criminal-justice system. "I'm worried how people after me are going to be treated. Are they going to be judged, or are they going to be helped?"

Jervis Bay is famous for the whitest sand in the world, and its crystal clear waters. Discover the tranquil bush settings within the National Parks. The centre of the Jervis Bay tourist haven is Huskisson, and one must stop and have a beer at this icon, basic accommodation is also available. Jervis bay from Sydney takes approx 2 hours driving time.
Jervis Bay is a naturalist delight, bounded with pristine beaches within the Booderee National Park, it is ideal for all activities, hiking, rock climbing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The bay is 15km long and 10kim wide with little villages scattered around like Vincentia, Hyams Beach, Calla Bay, Myola, and Currarong.
There are bay beaches such as Green Patch, Murray's Beach, Hole in the Wall and surf beaches like Caves, Wreck Bay and Bherewerre. This area is a MUST to do and one really needs two to three days to explore this amazing destination. If time is limited at least do a bay cruise at Huskisson www.dolphincruises.com.au to see the resident blue nose dolphins.
Is a little gem of a village, discovered by George Bass in 1797, the Aboriginal name means" place where sea makes noise".It is surrounded by beautiful beaches, harbour and two rivers. Kiama is famous for the "Blow Hole", which spouts water high into the air. You could spend a whole day in this area exploring the Minnamurra rainforest, Seven Mile Beach, Jamberoo action Park, Bombo Headland and the Carrington Falls and Cathedral Rocks.
Kiama has plenty of accommodation available for all types of budgets and needs. The best kept secret is the East Beach Holiday Park which sits on 35 acres on absolute beachfront. Choose from waterfront units, villas and cabins. www.eastvanparks.com.au or www.kiama.com.au for info on other accommodation available. I highly recommend staying a day in this area if time permits.
From Kiama take a detour via Gerringong and Gerroa to Nowra. Look for the sign post on your left saying "Gerringong Tourist Drive", which crosses a railway line. It hooks back onto the highway at the beginning of the bridge at Nowra. Alternatively, you can continue on the highway and visit the cute historical town of Berry.
Driving time approx one hour south of Sydney. - make sure you do the coastal road from Sydney National Park.
You can also catch a train from Central Railway Station to Kiama.
Drive down South to Wollongong from Sydney and stop off at the Scenic Pitstops dotted along the way for views such as the one shown in the Photos. I took lots of great photos from this lookout point, it is so high up that the photos look like they are being taken out of a plane. Its a shame i cant post more !
We went to a small cafe in that location, Sublime Point lookout (one of four lookout points at Bulli Lookout) and continued onto Thirroul Beach.
For tourist going in tours, you will most likely be going into the Jenolan Caves and nothing else... quite a boring journey I would say...
Though it is interesting to see how the caves were formed... but for a more nature seeking person like me, I prefer to take another path..
There is a path beside the caves which its a hiking path for abt 3km... where you can walk and climb to see a bird's-eye view of the formation of the caves....
Both Bass and Flinders were born in England. Bass joined the Royal Navy as a surgeon's mate, when he was eighteen.
Flinders joined the Royal Navy in 1790, at about the same time as Bass, and served training as a navigator.
Bass and Flinders later sailed together in 1795, on the voyage to New South Wales.
Both were in their early twenties. Together, they explored the coastline adjacent to the Port Jackson settlement using two small boats, both of which were named "Tom Thumb."
In 1797, Bass was then given command of a whaleboat with a crew of six to explore the coastline south of Sydney.
Bass later spent a few years in trading ventures to the New South Wales colony, around the Pacific Islands and to South America. His ship, "Venus" disappeared on one such voyage in 1803.
On Flinders' return to England in 1800 he was appointed to command a scientific expedition, to carefully map the south-west coast of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.
In 1803 Flinders was captured by the French on the Island of Mauritius. The French held him until 1810, claiming he was a spy, after which time he returned to England.
2 hours drive out into the country down south near Wollongong you be transported to a different world to Sydney. Lovely pasture land, farmland, national parks, and many villages with lots of potteries, craft shops, and interesting small eateries worth visitng.
It is really much different to Sydney - which many people come for the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Bondi Beach - I highly recommend the southern Highlands.
Jervis Bay is only 2.5 hours from Sydney but it seems a different planet. It has the world's whitest beach, some nice villages and natural parks and the way to Jervis Bay is pretty as well. Stop at one of the wineries in Berry, chill out on Seven Mile Beach and check out the blowwhole in Kiara.
Go to Kangaroo Valley, kyaking. Its excellent. You go off in your kyak, loaded with your tent and bbq and stop wherever you see a nice little secluded beach, its cheap too, about $130 for two people over night hire of the Kyak and tents
The South Coast from Sydney... most people head north but the coast south of Sydney is my personal favourite... Quiet, clean and and untouristy. Must-sees include Kiama, Seven Mile Beach National Park, see pic, (1.5hrs from Sydney), Minamurra Rainforest,Jervis Bay National Park and Pebbly Beach where you can see kangaroos playing in the surf... The Train runs to Kiama for a nice day trip but you really see a lot more with a car.
North,South,East and West of Sydney is surrounded with lush green scenery and hills,can it get greener than this?

Arina Rd, Bargo

South of Sydney... A place called Stanwell Tops. There used to be lots of handgliding here. This shot taken at 5:30am, a very windy morning.

Check_mk 1.0.38 for Web Admin, Backup and Simulation
Mathias Kettner has released his check_mk Nagios plugin in version 1.0.38. New features include a Web-based admin tool, a backup function and a simulation mode.
The check_mk plugin for large Nagios installations adds a small Web app component in the new release. It brings the Multiadmin tool to the Web that enables and disables checks and notifications, acknowledges service problems and schedules downtimes.
Also new is the backup and restore mechanism. The
check_mk --backup
command secures local configuration and runtime data, independent of path or file ownership, to the
directory in a tarball. The
option deletes files not contained in the backup.
The third new feature is a simulation mode whereby target hosts are never contacted during the test run, allowing for drun runs of check_mk installations. It is enabled by setting
in the main.mk file.
Kettner also fixed some bugs and modified a few more details for check_mk. Information along with GPL source code, Debian and RPM packages are on his check_mk project page.

The perfect spot for relaxed lunches, and early evening drinks and bites, Kaspar's all-day offering also features succulent meats from the grill alongside lighter bites and cured fish platters at the seafood bar.
If youre heading to Le Menar I would suggest taking your appetite and more importantly a plus one or maybe even a two or three. Glancing at the extensive menu youll be hard pressed to place your order at the cosy North African restaurant in the heart of Fitzrovia. Eager to try as much as possible I order about seven courses and to my horror they are all absolutely delicious. The Spiced Lamb Rack (lamb cutlets) might be the best I have ever had and the side of Smoked Aubergiene Moutabal is honestly heavenly. Other favourites included the scallops that were so fresh I could well have been sampling them from the fishing boat, from which they were caught. The chef Vernon, was a delight and is happy to provide recommendations for the evening if you are unsure. And best of all he wasnt the least bit judgmental that my guest and I managed to devour all seven courses
Set in the heart of Marylebone, 108 Brasserie has been about for a while but an exciting new menu and a trendy bar scene has attracted a new clientele as well as maintaining its already incredibly loyal fans. The evening menu is made up of simple yet British foods and there is probably at least one thing that you are yet to try, coming as a sigh of relief in the city where most people can recite the menus of their favourite restaurants. I sampled, with some interpretation, the crispy pig cheeks and they were the perfect balance of exciting and moreish new flavours. The Octopus Carpaccio is also worth a recommendation not only for its impressive freshness but also for the pure beauty exuded on your plate. It may sound far from fast food but the service couldnt be more efficient. In fact when the desserts took more than five minutes to arrive I was met by an almighty apology and two glasses of whisky. I am becoming ever so much more patient.
London is saturated with restaurants offering top quality fish, but Beirut-born brand Salmontini just went and trumped them all. Nestled in swanky Belgravia, Jason Bassili's new haunt has made its way over from the Middle East - and we are welcoming it with open arms. Offering unparalleled luxury in the coziest of settings, the Pont street eatery is the perfect date night setting. Possibly the most sumptuous sushi currently on offer in the capital, the team are putting their own spin on the classics. Menu highlights include 35 days aged Rib-eye steak served with Dauphinoise potatoes and wild mushrooms, Crispy California Maki with crunchy tempura crumbs and a Salmon Kaware drizzled with black truffle oil.
Spring is in the air and its bringing the freshest new flavours to the belt as YO! Sushi unveils a major shakeup of its authentic Japanese menu. From Japanese Seabass Ceviche to Yuzu Cured Salmon, the new dishes celebrate the joy of Japanese cuisine at its best. YO! Sushi also becomes one of the few UK restaurants to offer a most delicious delicacy - Albacore Tuna - which will excite fans in the forms of either Tuna Tataki or Nigiri with Truffle Ponzu. To really put a spring in your step, the latest superfood seaweed is in abundance on the belt and Miso Dumpling Ramen and Beef Curry Ramen join the ranks of the super popular ramen dishes on offer.
There is a certain satisfaction that comes with a dirty burger after work. However, fast food is often met with fast judgement and so let me introduce you to the after work dinner quickie that just got posh. Pizza Union located in Shoreditch is now my not so shameful after office eatery. Inspired by the crispy pizzas of Rome Pizza Union serves authentic Italian food in record timing. Once you have selected a pizza from the extensive list you order at the counter and collect your pager that will inform you when your order is ready. Youll have to try and resist the temptations that scatter the tills including olives, nuts, and dips. The interior features informal benches meaning you can go unnoticed as a lone dinner and munch away in peace, avoiding U.W.A (unwanted waiter attention.) My pizza was as good as any you would get from a sit in restaurant chain and easily a third of the price. Pizza Union is open all day (11am 11pm), seven days a week.
It is not uncommon to expect small portions at a fancy restaurant, however at this one youre allowed to order more than one! The Providores in trendy Marylebone is perfect for those of us who just cant decide. Their extensive menu features miniature takes on classic dishes with the aim being to choose three mini meals. It is all a bit disorientating to begin with but you neednt worry - the friendly staff are right on hand to explain all. I decided on a freekeh salad, followed by a blue cheese soufflé and the restaurants signature dish the beef pesto. I was not disappointed, the beef was cooked to absolute perfection and the garlic dressing had a divine flavour that sat beautifully with the silky pesto. The only problem I can see with the Providores is everything is tasty and small enough for you to be gagging for more. It will certainly keep me coming back with my order of three beef pestos at the ready.
So often I head out for dinner and order a steak and receive several up-turned noses for ordering chips (a food critic ordering chips pah!) But I dare you to find anything that goes quite as well with a hefty steak. Luckily for me I have found a place where they encourage this kind of behaviour. Rowleys, tucked round the back of Piccadilly, provided the perfect setting for myself and guest to gorge ourselves on comfort food (including sticky toffee pudding) after an August down pour. The steak is what Rowleys is famed for with its 36-year-old reputation still attracting new customers. We ordered the house special of Entrecôte which, is served in a sharing dish (where you have ample opportunity to sneak more than your fair share) and is served with unlimited fries that could very well be the tastiest Ive had in months. It seems I am not alone in my quest for a carb loaded side. You can have your chip and eat it too.
The Blues Kitchen has recently opened a second venue in trendy Shoreditch. Located on Curtain Road it is the East London sibling to the original Blues Kitchen which opened in Camden in 2009. The Blues Kitchen will offer Texan BBQ, live music seven nights a week, and showcase one of the biggest bourbon selections in the UK. Open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner, the Texan BBQ menu will feature cuts of beef and pork, smoked in-house for up to 16 hours over a blend of hickory, oak, mesquite and fruit woods, some imparting flavour and texture into the meat. Options include Smoke roasted chicken or Slow smoked beef brisket, all served with fries and slaw. A 110 gallon lobster tank, installed into centre of main bar as a unique design feature, will house live lobsters from Scotland, available to order. It is an all round treat whilst remaining unpretentious, hurry and get booked! We anticipate a big hit!
