Ioan Gruffudd and Ruth Jones are the voices behind a new children's stage show which is touring theatres this summer.
The Igam Ogam Show combines real-life performers with puppets, a colourful, interactive set and plenty of singing and dancing.
Based on the children's animation, shown on S4C and Channel 5's Milkshake, the show will visit 10 theatres across Wales with both Welsh and English language performances.
The production – which is suitable for children aged two to six and their families – follows the mischievous little cave girl who likes nothing more than hanging out with her friend Roly. But as the pair bounce and tumble around her cave one day, Igam discovers a new friend… her shadow.
The Fantastic Four star Gruffudd and Ruth Jones, who created and starred in both Gavin & Stacey and Stella, have recorded the narration for the stage show, reprising their roles in the animated series, produced by Cardiff-based Calon TV.
Gruffudd has recorded the narration for the Welsh language version of the show, while Jones has provided the English voice-over.
A Coreo Cymru and Wales Millennium Centre production with Calon TV, The Igam Ogam Show marks a new direction for Cardiff-based WMC, which is famous for staging West End musicals but is now branching out into producing its own shows.
Carole Blade, creative producer of The Igam Ogam Show and Coreo Cymru, says: "I'm thrilled that two of Wales' most famous and well-loved stars are supporting this production.
"A lot of children coming along to the shows will have watched the television animation, so having Ruth and Ioan provide the narration is a wonderful way to provide continuity between the TV show and the stage show because the voices will be familiar to them – and their parents, too."
Cardiff-born Gruffudd, now based in Hollywood, says: "It's fantastic that The Igam Ogam Show will be touring in both Welsh and English. As a father myself, I know what a delight it is taking young children to the theatre."
The Igam Ogam Show will visit Aberystwyth Arts Centre on Sunday and Monday ; Lyric Theatre, Carmarthen on June 28 and June 29; The Welfare, Ystradgynlais on July 1 and July 2; The Riverfront, Newport on July 4; Neuadd Dwyfor, Gwynedd on July 9 and 10; Galeri, Caernarfon on July 11 and 12; Pavilion Theatre, Rhyl on July 16; Swansea Grand Theatre on July 22 and 23; Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl on July 24 and 25; Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff from August 1 to 3

CLEVELAND (AP) _ Polite, but pointed.
That was the tone of the latest debate between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, held Tuesday night in Cleveland. Clinton and Obama clashed over trade, health care and the war in Iraq. They also traded charges of negative campaign tactics.
Clinton said as far as she knew, her campaign had nothing to do with circulating a photo of Obama in tribal clothes while in Kenya 2 years ago. She said Obama's campaign had used the same type of tactics as Republicans. Obama says his campaign didn't "whine" when the Clinton camp released negative materials.
It was the 20th debate of the campaign, 10 months to the day after the first. It offered Clinton her last, best chance to slow Obama's drive toward the nomination. Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont hold primaries next Tuesday, with 370 delegates at shake.
Obama has won 11 straight primaries and caucuses.

"Thank God you're still here!" the teenage girl exclaimed to the young man behind the counter at La Rocco's in San Clemente. "We went to where you were, and you weren't there. Then someone told us you moved and told us to come here. Thank God you're still here!"
The move, which happened about six weeks ago, was no Long March for La Rocco's: It just went across El Camino Real, from one cute storefront to another. But the girl's relieved surprise just shows how quickly La Rocco's has established itself in Ole Hanson's mythical Spanish Village By the Sea. In a town where Sonny's Pizza has long ruled over the city's surprisingly vibrant pizza scene and Pizza Port is just fabulous, La Rocco's has become a treasure, a place so miraculous in its meticulous New York-style pie creations that the locals no doubt fear it'll move up the 5 one day for the big time. But I can't imagine such a place thriving anywhere else in OC, from the quick service to the employees, who appear to have been plucked from the pages of a Volcom fashion spread.
La Rocco's premise is as straightforward as the pier: a display case features premade, thin-crust pizzas. You order by the slice; the staff heats it up. No pastas, no oversauced sogginess—just custom pies, ones so perfect in their emulation of the East Coast they even please our token Jerseyite, Dave Lieberman. You can order the pizzas to taste, topping them with ingredients Southern Californians know and love such as sausage, black olives, jalapeños and anchovies. Trust the owners, though, and indulge in the house specialties. The baroque Bronx features just meatball, sausage and pepperoni on a tomato sauce as sweet as 'Nofre's breaks. Marvel at the Rhode Island, which uses serranos, avocados and a chipotle-based sauce to create the most unlikely Mexican foodstuff (what's with the shout-out to the Ocean State?) since the Choco Taco. Speaking of tacos, there's even a taco pizza, a blizzard of Cheddar on ground beef and sour cream—Cal-Mex at its most embracing.

Region: San Clemente
But the best class of pizzas here is the whites. The simple Whitestone—just ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan brushed with garlic—is a pungent beauty and a base upon which La Rocco's riffs to even better heights. Artichoke adds earthiness; Pauley's Special finds basil and tomatoes added on. I love the Yonkers because it adds the sharpness of Asiago to sautéed asparagus. The whites are the pizzas invariably being cooked to replace what just got ordered, taken in to-go boxes for a beach party or an after-skateboarding snack. La Rocco's leaving San Clemente? As likely as the 241 toll road being extended.

|Sula Creme Shadows and Lip & Cheek Tine
|Sula lip & cheek tint and creme shadows
These were not the type of cream eyeshadows that would dry up since there was no silicone oil and such in them, just a bunch of moisturizing oils which made me question the longevity. Anyway, the two I bought were Sparks Fly-a soft shimmery blue and Why Not-a shimmery golden green. Getting back to the ingredients, I find these similar to Julie Hewett's Hue Colours but not as thick, making them less pigmented but the sheerness and the softness of shimmer really makes them easier to work with than most cream shadow/liners. These also aren't greasy/creamy like other "cream" shadows, so the tendency to last really varies on the technique. Here, on my eye are wore it over an eyebase that had been set with powder. Worked out quite well with Sparks Fly. Not bad, right?
|Sula Creme shadow in Sparks Fly
There were other products in the line like soft pretty eyeshadows and powder blushes which have stained my brain, eventually will have to try those out too. Pencils and lip glosses were available too. This isn't a bad line at all for a drugstore brand. In fact, I find the line very refreshing both in color and packaging. Go try it if you see Sula at your store!

Air Jordan 12 Retro Low (Kids)
The Air Jordan XII (12) was originally released in 1996. Like many Air Jordan sneakers, it's design inspiration came from outside the world of basketball. In this case, it was the Japanese Rising Sun flag, with the stitching on the side panels representing the sun's rays. The Air Jordan XII was also the first Air Jordan to feature Zoom Air technology and sport the "Two 3" style on the tongue. Because of its extreme popularity, the Air Jordan XII has been re-released several times and is now available in an array of colors.

TNC Water Quality Monitoring
Water Quality Monitoring Requirements for Transient Non-Community Water Systems (TNCs) - TNCs must ensure that the system's drinking water quality is monitored according to federal and state requirements. Monitoring is necessary to help demonstrate that the water provided to customers is safe to drink. Monitoring requirements for TNCs can be divided into two general categories - testing for source permitting and routine monitoring. All samples must be analyzed by a certified laboratory and results submitted to the Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division (DWGWPD).
Additionally, based on local site conditions (e.g., geology and land use activities) and historical test results, the state may require additional monitoring to ensure the water is safe to drink. Such testing may include monitoring to determine if a source is under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI), monitoring more frequently for contaminants routinely sampled by the system (e.g., nitrate or total coliform), or monitoring for other contaminants (e.g., petroleum products). The DWGWPD will notify the system if additional monitoring is required. Here is a list of laboratories performing microscopic particulate analysis (MPA) testing.
Routine Monitoring
Total Coliform
If coliform is detected in a routine sample, the system must take three repeat samples and one source sample within 24 hours and five routine samples during the following calendar month that water is served to the public. Based on the results of the additional tests the system may have to notify their customers and/or issue a "Boil Water" notice.
*Based on the larger number of 1) the design capacity of the system's Water/Wastewater permit, or 2) the sum of the residents and the average daily transient population (total number of transients served per month divided by the number of days per month).
In addition to the routine samples, systems that are not in service year-round (e.g., seasonal campgrounds) must collect a total coliform sample before, but not more than 10 days prior to, service startup (i.e., serving water to the public).

Nirmal Jain of IIFL, however, says that the upward movement is only temporary and one should continue remaining cautious.

Additionally, Jain says the measures taken by the market regulators to bring in some semblance of stability are only temporary and the government needs to take corrective policy decisions to boost the market sentiment.
The Sensex closed at 19439.48 while the NSE Nifty rose 47.45 points or 0.82 percent to finish at 5859. The midcap and smallcap too saw brisk buying, which gained 0.7 percent each.
The domestic currency gained 97 paise intraday to 59.65 per dollar after Indian regulators clamped down on open positions that banks and non banks can take in the currency futures market. However, the rupee could not sustain above 60 level today, which trimmed gains from 97 paise to 48 paise at 60.14 per dollar. The currency had hit a record low of 61.21 in previous session.
Asian shares closed higher after upmove on Wall Street offset nervousness over higher-than-expected Chinese inflation data. Japan's Nikkei outperformed its global peers, rising 2.6 percent.
European markets rose 0.5-1 percent. European Union finance ministers agreed to give Greece some cash, but the 6.8 billion euro sum was not as much as Athens had hoped for. European finance ministers said this month they will give Greece 2.5 billion euros with the rest coming later, after the Greek government pushes forward on public sector reforms.
Back home, financials, capital goods, power and healthcare stocks gained.
Sun Pharma shares topped the buying list with 3.57 percent gains followed by Dr Reddys Labs and Cipla with 1-1.8 percent gains.
Infosys shares rose one percent for the second consecutive session today, ahead of April-June quarter earnings that scheduled to be announced on Friday.
Major bluechips HDFC Bank, L&T, Reliance Industries, HDFC, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India were up 0.6-1.7 percent.

Sugar stocks rose between 1-2 percent after the government notified a hike in sugar import duty to 15 percent from 10 percent.
Foreign institutional investors have net bought Rs 165.6 crore worth of equity shares today and domestic institutional investors purchased Rs 37.83 crore shares, as per provisional data available on NSE.
The Sensex ends the day at 19439.48, up 114.71 points while the Nifty closes up 47.45 points at 5859. About 1304 shares have advanced, 997 shares declined, and 144 shares are unchanged.
Equity benchmarks gained strength again in afternoon trade following further upmove in European markets on Greek deal.
It is a stable day for the market with the Nifty trading close to 5850 levels led by banks, pharma and capital goods. The Sensex is up 81.35 points at 19406.12, and the Nifty is at 5844.50. About 1166 shares have advanced, 933 shares declined, and 131 shares are unchanged.
The rupee is trading higher by 46 paise at 60.15 per dollar after the RBI and SEBI clamped down on open positions that banks and non banks can take in the currency futures market. Globally the dollar has retreated somewhat against emerging market currencies.
The market has managed to maintain momentum supported by strength in capital goods, pharma, power and consumer durables. The Sensex is up 112.18 points at 19436.95 while the Nifty is at 5850.70, up 39.15 points. About 1126 shares have advanced, 669 shares declined, and 109 shares are unchanged.

Gardening is waiting for the payoff
Sometimes, you have to wait for the payoff — especially when it comes to gardening. Instant gratification is nearly impossible where Mother Nature is concerned. It takes days for a freshly sown seed to germinate, months for a young tomato plant to bear its first fruit, and years for an acorn to grow into a beautiful oak tree. But, we gardeners know that good things come to those who wait, don't we?
One my favorite patiently awaited payoffs occurs at my house every spring. It's a beautiful show five or six months in the making. Every October, I labor in the garden, knowing that when winter's grip dissipates, I'll reap the gorgeous rewards of having planted hundreds of spring-blooming bulbs. Bulbs like daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, and hundreds of others, are an exercise in patience, but one that is so very worth it.
Spring-blooming bulbs are planted in the fall to allow them time to develop a full root system before they leaf out and flower, the following spring. Most are easy to grow, as long as you select varieties that are fully hardy in our area and plant them to the proper depth. A good rule-of-thumb for planting depth is to locate each bulb twice as deep as the bulb is tall. For daffodils, hyacinths and tulips, that means 6 to 8 inches, and for smaller bulbs, like Serbian squill, crocus, snowdrops, and anemones, 4 to 6 inches should suffice.
I greatly enjoy settling some of the more unusual spring-blooming bulbs into my back shade garden. They'll have access to sun here before the deciduous trees leaf out, and then their dying foliage will fade away among the emerging hosta, ferns and bleeding hearts. Each fall, I plant a handful of Puschkinia here and there, along with some wood hyacinth (Hyacinthoides) and glory of the snow (Chinodoxia).
I also find homes for spring bulbs in my front garden, but I have to be careful here, because this garden is in deer territory. Rather than turning to damage-prone tulips, I've planted my favorite deer-resistant daffodils, including "Fortissimo," "Pistachio," "February Gold" and my favorite miniature daffodil, "Minnow."
Another group of stunningly beautiful, deer-resistant bulbs are the alliums. Many have found a home in my front garden. These bulbs are relatives of onions and have an unappealing taste to not only the deer, but also chipmunks, mice and voles. I just bought five more Allium "Christophii" bulbs last week; they'll join the few dozen drumstick alliums I already have planted there.
When I plant my bulbs each fall, I know how welcome they will be after a long, cold winter. To me, waiting patiently to see the eventual results of your hard work is what gardening is all about.

The motion, raised a day after environmental protection groups protested against the auction of a West Kowloon site in the government's first land auction, passed by 13 votes to 10 in the geographical constituencies but was rejected 16-8 by representatives of functional constituencies.
Motion raiser Wong Kwok-hing, of the Federation of Trade Unions, said the screen-like building designs not only affect the city's airflow and aggravate the heat effect but also affect public hygiene and contribute to air pollution.
The site, situated at Hoi Wang Road near Yau Ma Tei, was sold for HK$4 billion to a consortium lead by Sino Land.
"It is almost certain the land developers who purchased the site will opt for the maximum 140-meter height limit and construct a few 40-story-plus buildings. This will affect the air flow of the area and further worsen the air quality in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei," Wong said.
Instead of relying on the nonbinding Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines, the government should enact legislation to limit the height and control the design of land development in the territory, Wong said.
Association of Democracy and People's Livelihood legislator Frederick Fung Kin-kee agreed with Wong's view that private developers would aim at maximizing profits instead of following the requirements stated in the guidelines.
"The absence of controls on building design and height merely paves the way for developers to utilize the highest allowable plot ratio to maximize their profits," Fung said.
"However, those who live in the shadows of such developments are the ones to suffer."
He said the government should, at least, strengthen the ventilation requirements on new buildings and structures to be built by the two railway companies - MTR Corporation and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation.
About 100 representatives from the Democratic Party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and the Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood staged a protest Wednesday outside the entrance to the Legco building.
They called on the government to act on and resolve the problem. Secretary for Housing, Planning and Lands Michael Suen Ming-yeung said the government had already adopted several measures with regard to town planning.
These included the requirement of air ventilation assessments prior to the launching of any development project.
He said a quasi-government body like the Urban Renewal Authority had also established its own set of standards and guidelines concerning air ventilation, of which its Kwun Tong redevelopment project was one of the examples.
Suen said the government had no plan to enact legislation to prevent private land developers from building screen-like buildings, as each development site had different settings, surrounding environment and other related factors, and it would be inappropriate to use a single set of standards for all developments.

I-20 speed limit could jump from 55 to 70 MPH
Updated: 02/07/2014 - If some lawmakers get their way you could really start putting the pedal to the metal on georgia interstates; increasing your speed from 55 miles per hour to 70 on some interstates. The Georgia House already gave it the green light now it's in the senate. News12 talked to drivers and the Richmond County Traffic Division for the pros and cons on the increase.

Press Editorial
October 9, 2012
By Staff
Join conversation at candidate forum
In 2008, fueled in part by the historic candidacy of Barack Obama to the highest office in the land, voters engaged in the political process in a once-in-a-generation way.
Though 2012 cannot recapture the sense of excitement, contests up and down the ballot merit some serious attention from Issaquah voters. So much attention is focused on the race for president, but Washington voters must decide important races for governor and other executive positions.
Voters also face a chance to make history through ballot measures to legalize marijuana and affirm the rights of same-sex couples to marry.
The ballot also includes choices for key legislative and congressional seats.
In order to inform voters about important local races, The Issaquah Press — joined by the American Association of University Women and the League of Women Voters — is cosponsoring a candidate forum for local races.
The forum is a chance for voters to learn about the men and women in the race for offices in Olympia, plus the race to represent Issaquah in Congress. The event starts at 7 p.m. Oct. 18 in the Council Chambers at City Hall South, 135 E. Sunset Way. Or, Issaquah voters can watch the forum live on ICTV Channel 21.
The federal government makes important decisions, yes, but decisions from lawmakers beneath the Capitol dome in Olympia also impact everyday life.
Thankfully, voters can make a choice in most local races on the ballot.
In state House races, incumbents Judy Clibborn and Jay Rodne could benefit from a robust challenge, but at least the no-contest races guarantee Issaquah residents continued, thoughtful leadership in Olympia.
Every local candidate in the 5th and 41st legislative districts agreed to attend. So did Issaquah Democrat Karen Porterfield, Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert's challenger. Reichert, however, does not plan to attend the forum.
The race to represent the 8th Congressional District in Washington, D.C., is unfolding on a landscape reshaped by redistricting. We had hoped for a chance to ask Reichert about how he intends to balance the needs of constituents on both sides of the Cascades for the first time.
Issaquah is home to spirited political debate and many people interested in what happens at all levels of government. We invite you to join the conversation at the candidate forum.

Ask the candidates if they think we should provide incentives (rewards) to illegal immigrants, such as drivers licenses and in-state tuition. Or would it help reduce the flow of illegal immigration by removing such incentives/rewards?

I watched the defensive linemen and linebackers work out at the combine (via NFL Network). Here are my notes:
- The two studs of this day were Aaron Curry (LB, Wake Forest) and Brian Orakpo (DE, Texas). Orakpo came up with a hamstring tweak late in his workout and couldn't finish, but he looked great in the drills and of course he looked great in school. Same for Curry. Both should be Top 10 picks.Orakpo's upper body is awesome and he's got great speed to go with it. The comparisons to DeMarcus Ware are already rolling in. I'm wondering how small his feet are, though ...
- I liked what I saw from Kyle Moore (DL, USC) and will investigate him further. Smooth 40 run, which is a blend of explosiveness and burst to go with speed.
- Michael Johnson (DL, Georgia Tech) also looked fluid and solid, but it was expected that he would have a monster combine (4.66 in the 40). Many folks are questioning his heart. I could see this guy landing in New England and becoming an animal. He's really gifted physically, but that's just part of the puzzle.
- Aaron Maybin (PSU) has had a good combine too, but seems like a tweener ... he's trying to put on weight (15 pounds in 3 months or so). He might just wind up being a pass-rush specialist and third-down player.
- B.J. Raji (Boston College) is a big piece of meat. Didn't run the 40 well but did display good burst off the snap and quickness and quick, quick feet, which is more important for a big man.
- The other big man I really liked was Terrelle Taylor (Michigan). He's big and very strong. Perfect space eater, maybe a nose tackle. Not sure on that.
- All of the USC players did well ... which makes me wonder if they were well-prepped for this event. I mentioned Kyle Moore ... Brian Cushing, Clay Matthews and the other linebacker, Kaluka Maiava, did fine. Rey Maualuga hurt his right leg on his first 40-yard dash and couldn't finish his workout, but he should still be a first-round pick.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out when Aaron Curry would go off the draft board. The Chiefs would be nuts to pass on him at No. 3 as he could be a sack machine and a run stuffer for them, lining up all over the field. Scott Pioli won't pass on his versatile talents ... but I think the Rams might also take a long look at him as their defense has struggled and Steve Spagnuolo could really pull off some crazy schemes with Curry and DE Chris Long in his arsenal.
Bottom line: Curry will be playing ball in Missouri in 2009.

The Hawks are an improved team while the Lobos remain a team in transition, one that's searching for their first win of the 2013 season. Centennial, for its part, took home what may have been an expected victory but a victory nonetheless in a 42-6 triumph over the Lobos.
The Hawks are now 7-2 on the season and 2-0 in District 3-4A, while Chaparral is 0-9 overall and 0-2 in league play.
"It was the general expectation throughout the team," said Centennial running back Joe Rowe. "We wanted to dominate this game."
The Hawks moved the ball throughout and had their way, as five of the team's six touchdowns came on the ground.
The nature of the contest - with Centennial essentially dominating from start to finish and facing a big contest next week against District 3-4A favorite Deming - made for a flat atmosphere at times at Field of Dreams.
"Some things I was pleased with and some things I was disappointed with tonight," Centennial head coach Aaron Ocampo said. "As a coach, I just told our players, you're doing a disservice to your team if you compare them to the squad across from them. We always want everything perfect, and we still have a long way to go as a football team toward reaching our potential.
When asked if the Hawks overlooked Chaparral at all knowing that a challenge against Deming awaits next weekend, Rowe said, "Not at all. We dominated this game and we wanted to go into Deming (after) dominating this game."
After finishing 5-5 in their first year of existence, Centennial is in fact an improved team from a season ago. With that being said, next week's road contest against the Wildcats should be a good measuring stick on where the Hawks stand.
Three of the Hawks seven wins have come against Class 3A programs (two against Ruidoso, one against El Paso Fabens). Two more came against Class 2A teams (Estancia and Hatch Valley) while the other two were against Class 4A programs - Santa Teresa and Chaparral - that hold a combined record of 1-16 on the season.
Deming, meanwhile, is 7-1 on the year and in first place in District 3-4A.
"They're the No. 3 team in the state. They've been solid," Ocampo said.
"Right now, I feel like we're a top-10, maybe even a top-eight, nine 4A team right now," he added. "We're going to see if we're a top-four, top-three 4A team."

Hundreds rally in Hobart's Parliament Park against latest push for Tamar Valley pulp mill
- From: Mercury
- January 28, 2014
ANTI pulp mill protesters rallied in Hobart today, as the recalled State Parliament sat to debate legislation for the controversial project.
Over 400 people attended the lunchtime rally on Parliament Lawns, where speakers included gardening personality Peter Cundall, the Tasmanian Conservation Trust's Peter McGlone and Lucy Landon-Lane from the No Pulp Mill Alliance.
Greens leader Nick McKim emerged from Lower House to announce that parliament refused to table his no-confidence motion in the Government.
Labor and Liberal MPs are expected to approve legislation to extend permits for the Tamar Valley pulp mill.
Constitutional law expert Michael Stokes warned the move would set a precedent.
"Equality before the law is the idea that everyone should be treated the same, that there should be no special deals, no changes in the law because particular special interest groups want it," he said.
"The reason why planning permits normally expire after four years is because things change.
"What we are getting here is a change in the rules so the permit is extended to 10 years."

Dave Dobbin, Hampshire is far more worthy of a "pristine" label than the industrialised banks of the northern end of the Tamar. Anyone who's been to the proposed Tamar site knows that there are multiple other industrial facilities in the near vicinity. And well said, Pat Ignazio - New Zealand thrives on green tourism yet has multiple pulp mills.
Don Rumney of Acton Posted at 10:33 AM January 29, 2014
Bill Rollinson, If you mark your ballot paper in any way other than your marks in the boxes, your vote automatically becomes null and void. Too many Tasmanians do not have a clue about the correct way to vote and this is the reason we have had very poor Govts. over many decades. People need to understand the difference between Federal, state and local Govts. then the senate and the other names such as upper and lower houses etc.
Pat Ignazio of Hobart Posted at 10:10 AM January 29, 2014
Let the Green's theatrics continue, dummy spits, rantings and any proponents for the Pulp Mill will be labelled bogans and red necks.. Nick's bluster inside the House, not what you would call award-winning, had me in tears as I watched him over several hours . Tears of laughter as I wondered if he was for real in his presentation. Similar mills are operating safely and efficiently in other countries including New Zealand. So why not here in Tasmania ? The vocal minority scaremongering and manipulating the truth in order to get their own way. Calls by McKim for a referendum are nothing but BS, the election result itself will unequivocally demonstrate the will of the majority of Tasmanians and the mandate they give to the incoming government .
Richard Moore of Hobart Posted at 9:35 AM January 29, 2014
Only hundres out of 500 000 Tasmanians. Wow, overwhelming majority there.....On opposite day. Bring on the Pulp Mill and the election. Down with the Greens and their puppet mates Labour.

Quick Guide to Taiwan
From the hustle and bustle of its capital Taipei to the delights of Taroko Gorge and the lush greenery and beaches of Kenting National Park, Taiwan has something for everyone.
Other Nearby Destinations
Our Top Tips for Taiwan Holidays
Taiwan's not as cheap as other Asian countries so make sure you factor this in when working out costs. It's still possible to have a holiday in Taiwan on a budget though, just so long as you book things like flights and hotels in Taiwan well in advance. You can also keep food costs down by visiting the many backstreet noodle bars and markets – Taipei's Shilin Night Market is an attraction in itself and you can pick up snacks such as an oyster omelette (a local favourite) for just a few pounds.
When to Go to Taiwan
The best time to take a trip to Taiwan weather-wise is from October to December or from March to May when it's warm but not sweltering and rainfall is at its lowest. If you plan to head into the mountainous regions though, the climate is pretty moderate all year round, but the weather is prone to sudden changes so your best bet is to pack for every eventuality. There are plenty of festivals throughout the year, so you may wish to book a flight to Taiwan to experience one. The Dragon Boat Festival, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is a colourful celebration not to be missed.

August 13 - British Olympic Association (BOA) chairman Colin Moynihan has today announced he will be stepping down from the position in November after seven years in the role.
The surprise announcement means that the 56-year-old will vacate the role a year before the end of his second four-year term expires in November 2013.
The former Conservative Sports Minister succeeded Sir Craig Reedie as BOA chairman in 2005 shortly after London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics as he beat the 1968 Olympic 400-metre hurdles champion David Hemery by a vote of 28 to 15.
He was re-elected unopposed in 2009 but has confirmed he will leave the role just a day after the conclusion of the London 2012 Olympics where he helped steer Team GB to a record medal haul of 65 medals, 29 of them gold.
"Today the press will be looking forward to what lies beyond the Games: to the United Kingdom's sporting future and the delivery of a real London 2012 sports legacy," said Moynihan in a letter to the National Olympic Committee.
"In this context of looking forward, I will let them know that I intend to hand on the baton smoothly and securely to a successor chair.
"I have given this a great deal of thought and I strongly believe that this is the right time.
http://www.insidethegames.biz/latest/18 ... a-chairman
He may have some good principles but he handled some issues badly and seemed to fall out with everyone!
Perhaps his departure signals a crucial stage in the power struggles between UK Sport, Sport England, Government, Youth trust etc.? And where does Seb Coe, in his new capacity as Legacy Adviser, fit in? The future direction of our sport is to a large extent governed by these key players. The BOA, however, is no longer a major player and its influence is severely curtailed.

The environmental issue is one that created a lively discussion as it should because we all live in this world. Recently letters to the editor have expressed ideas or opinions on the issue of plastic bags.
There are many ways that concerned citizens can help protect the Earth - which has been abused because of farming practices; fracking, which depletes the water; and our own cars and trucks, which release carbon dioxide into the air constantly, despite new rules and regulations.
As a people, we seem to only see certain things, such as plastic bags that are harming the environment, while overlooking something as close as our driveway. That doesn't mean we get rid of cars, just drive less and use public transportation, walk or bike, when possible. Using cloth bags is an option, but plastic bags do have reusable purposes.
We need to look at all ways to improve the environment, not just one small area.

i got some M4A audio files that i would convert in MP3's. Now my question is:
Is a M4A file with 256kbps the equivalent to a MP3 File with 320kbps. if it is so, can i convert the M4A File to a MP3 with a constant bitrate of 320 kbps? or should i convert it to the same bitrate of 256kbps??
thanks for answers

@Deimuddi1955 - Encoding music to a lossy format will change the audio, no matter what settings you use. The m4a files are probably lossy already (if they contain AAC, not ALAC). The good news about lossy codecs is they are designed to fool you; probably you won't notice the audio is changed, unless you use some of the lowest settings. So as Porcus implied, it would be wasteful to use higher settings than the minimum needed to not notice. 320 kbps would be very wasteful. Probably you will not hear the difference even at 128 kbps. Try it and see.
Listening tests have shown that people generally stop noticing the difference between the original and the lossy version at bitrate n for MP3 and at bitrate n-minus-something for AAC. But you shouldn't infer from that "if I decode 256 kbps AAC and re-encode it as 320 kbps MP3, it will be the same quality." It's the same quality if you can't tell the difference. If you can't tell the difference between the AAC and the content transcoded to 128 kbps MP3, then it's highly likely the transcoded material at all MP3 bitrates from 128 to 320 is the same, maximum quality.
Also consider if the 256 kbps AAC has some content (or noise) that it's preserving in the 16+ KHz frequency band. This content/noise may be beyond what you can actually hear in actual music, so it's wasting space in the file. AAC also happens to be much better than MP3 at handling content in that uppermost band. The MP3 encoder at 320 kbps may try a bit too hard to keep that content without messing it up too badly, thus sucking away precious bits from the lower bands that you can hear. But at a lower bitrate, the MP3 encoder may ignore that high-frequency content (or noise) and might produce better quality for you in the more-important lower bands.

Copperopolis Fire Protection District has named Murphys Fire Chief Steve Kovacs as its new fire chief as Calaveras County fire departments continue to find ways to combine resources.
Kovacs, 44, has been the Murphys fire chief for the past six years and will continue in that part-time role after assuming the Copperopolis position effective July 1.
He replaces Jeff Millar, who was forced to retire from the chief position after the California Public Employees Retirement System changed its rules regarding pensioners working part-time for other PERS agencies.
Millar had worked more than 28 years with Cal Fire before joining Copperopolis.
Raised in Arnold, Kovacs started his career in 1981 with the Ebbetts Pass Fire District. He was promoted to engineer in 1987, captain in 2000 and battalion chief in 2007 with that agency. Kovacs said he plans to resign from the Ebbetts Pass district shortly after stepping into the Copperopolis role.
The announcement comes less than a month after Copperopolis reached an agreement with Murphys to provide clerical services for the district after Office Manager Belva Bristol retired.
On July 1, the Foothill and Jenny Lind fire districts near Valley Springs will take a step toward consolidation with a joint powers agreement that puts them on track to becoming the Calaveras Consolidated Fire District.
The agencies have been sharing Kim Olson as fire chief since May 1 and Jenny Lind submitted a winning bid when Foothill sought a contract for its administrative services. Olson said Foothill and Jenny Lind will likely move from two to one board of directors soon after the JPA takes effect.
Unlike that arrangement, Copperopolis and Murphys will not share a chief position filled by Kovacs but each remains a separate job. Kovacs said his Copperopolis salary will be set at $78,000 annually, the mid-range in a stated salary span between $60,000 and $96,000 advertised for the position.
However, Kovacs does note "there are more and more agencies doing things together, sharing resources and equipment."
"We're trying to provide the same services to the public with less money," he said.
Olson thinks consolidation may become more common in an economically stressed county with 11 fire districts.
"There's talk," he said. "There's a lot of people looking at how we do more with less as we're dealing with lowered property tax (revenue) … it only make sense to look at consolidation."
Fewer districts require less reserve equipment, Olson said, which can be a major cost savings.

Offensive Lineman Commits
Nebraska added an offensive lineman prospect for the recruiting class of 2015 when Bradenton, Florida prospect Mirko Jurkovic Jr. gave his commitment to the Huskers yesterday. Jurkovic had an impressive list of offers that included Ohio State, Florida, Missouri, South Carolina, and more than a dozen other major conference programs.
Jurkovic is listed at 6'5" and 275 lbs. While that's a little light by the standards of a starting college lineman, it's certainly a size that would allow him to get to 300 pounds, which seems to be a magic number for offensive linemen playing for major programs. His height is sufficient for him to play guard or tackle, and there's some thought he would be capable of playing center as well. Versatility is certainly desirable given the way Nebraska cross-trains players on the offensive line and moves them around.
Jurkovic's father was an All-American guard at Notre Dame in 1991. He also has an uncle who played nine years in the NFL at defensive tackle. Like most NU linemen, he'd likely redshirt. Whether he could contribute one year later as a redshirt freshman would likely depend on how much good weight he's able to add over the next two years (including his senior year of high school).
Jurkovic was raised in Indiana but has been in Bradenton as part of the IMG Academy, preparing for the next level of football under former Florida State and NFL quarterback Chris Weinke. The Academy may best known for some of the tennis stars it has produced like Andre Agassi and Maria Sharapova, but it claims famous alumni in baseball, basketball, football, and soccer as well. It could well be this kind of focus by IMG that's made Jurkovic such a hot property.

6" D&G F/12 Refractor
I recently built an OTA around a 6 inch f-12 D&G lens for my twin brother Kevin's Zeiss IB mount. I've had 2 occasions to use the scope and felt a commentary with later updates could be useful to anyone enquiring about the performance of the scope.
The tube is 8 inch ali with a 3.2mm wall thichness and it is beautifully powdercoated white. The tube ends are powdercated black along with a dovetail tube-ring combination a result of my own imagination.
The mount is similar to a C-11 in terms of solidness and just manages to control the 17 kilogram monster.
A crayford focuser made by a local friend out of stainless steel has a Zeiss adaptor threaded into the end so a superb 2 inch Zeiss prism diagional can be employed with .96 1.25 and 2 inch adaptor rings.
After finishing this scope I drove over to Westland (250 km) with a friend to personally deliver the scope. It also happenned to be a very dark night and we quickly got the big refractor mounted balanced etc ready for action.
First light was on M42 and I did the honours with the first peek thru a 24.5mm Meade Wide Angle eyepiece. I was not disappointed the 5th and 6th star of the trapezium stood out easily! No sign of any chromatic aberation at this power anyway. The nebula showed amazing contrast and definition. It was immediately apparent this scope was no lemon.
I had my Celestron 8 with me for comparison. It is a very good example of a SCT and predictably was slightly brighter on all objects viewed. However it was obviously losing on the contrast stakes and NGC2070 the Tarantula Nebula and M46 with the lovely planetary proved this. Contrast was superb although the image wasn't brighter the sky was darker and more could be seen in several nebulous objects viewed.
Despite the limited aperture and long f ratio this scope is a real punchy deep sky performer. Stars are pinpoints very similar to my own 5 inch f-15 D&G refractor. There is only slightly more longitudional chromatic aberation in the 6 inch than the 5 which was quite a relief to us all as we feared it could be a problem. It clearly wasn't.
Gamma Centauru 1" easily split with black space between the components.
Startesting on Canopus -0.7 the in and out diffraction patterns were very nice on both sides. This was at 200 X! The lens snapped into focus and the image was very pleasing. In focus at high power stellar images were sharp and lean as one would expect from a high quality refractor. At one point we suspected very slight astigmatism in the lens however this has proved to be nonexistent.
Kev has used the scope on several clear nights since the first light and he is very happy with the performance especially on the moon. He has found it easily copes with 450 x with a zeiss 4mm ortho and virtually no false colour is visible even at this power. Save for some minor false colour this scope is a superb performer and would seriously push a good few top end apos.
We are both keen observers and Kev also owns a superb Zeiss APQ 100/1000 he picked up on tender for a steal when Zeiss went out of the telescope business 5 years ago.
