|Key Info
The cottage was refurbished in 2006 and dates back over 130 years. Lovingly restored the property retains all its character and charm, whilst benefiting from modern comforts, such as air-conditioning and DVD or television (if you want it!).
Outside, the property enjoys complete privacy in its own grounds, with a tennis court, BBQ and bar, gardens, swimming pool and almond groves.
Visitors can benefit from the inspiring beauty and tranquillity of Mallorca.. A drive from one side of the island to the other can take less than two hours, but in that time the visitor can stop to gaze out towards Africa from awe inspiring rugged cliff tops, cross the spectacular Tramuntana mountain range, or leave the car to hike to pristine sandy beaches only accessible by foot.

The Balearic Islands region
Many people know that Mallorca is the most popular tourist destination in Europe, and is arguably one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, largely because of the stunning variety of its scenery, the warm hospitality of the islanders and the richness of its food and drink. There are two main resorts for people who are looking for only sun, sand and nightclubs, and then there is the rest of the island -so carefully protected against over-development by the proud Mallorcans that stars like Michael Douglas and Claudia Schiffer choose to holiday here.
Just 10 to 15 minutes drive to the centre of Palma, with everything this historic city has to offer.
Above the Old Harbor rises the cathedral (La Seo), a massive sandstone structure begun about 1230 in Early Gothic style but not completed until the 16th and 17th centuries, with three doorways, a beautiful south front (14th century), two 19th century towers and a bell-tower of 1270. From the terrace on the south side of the cathedral there is a magnificent view of the bay.
Palma itself could fulfill many holiday requirements, history and art, shopping, restaurants and night life.
For golfers, again Mallorca has many highly rated golf courses and particularly handy is the Marriott Son Antem golf complex and spa just five minutes drive from the farm.
Mallorca is well know for it's stunning beaches. The following are all within easy access from the farm
Arenal is the nearest. Go back to the roundabout which accesses the Via Centura (main road) & take the 2nd exit. The road runs parallel to the Via Centura. Follow directions to Arenal
Sa Rapita. Travel on the main road in the direction of Santanyi & exit at junction 23. Follow the road towards the coast. There's a great restaurant at the Marina (bit pricier) & a great beach.
Es Trenc. The other end of the beach at Sa Rapita. There's more parking here, although the car park is a bit of a hike to the beach. Follow the main road in direction of Santanyi & follow signposts to Es Trenc.
Cala Figuera. A lovely fishing village on the East coast. Head towards Santanyi & you'll soon see signs for Cala Figuera. There's a beach before you get here called Sa Salines but we've not tried it yet!
Mallorca has so much to offer and there have been many books written about the island, from historic market towns, to stunning beaches and idyllic fishing villages, mountain walking, fine dining, all can be explored from Casa Fortuna, with excellent access returning to a very private place.

"Wonderful villa"
We had such a lovely time at Casa Fortuna. We hired the villa as the finca was already booked. The house is beautiful. It's modern, light and very spacious. All the decoration, is excellent. The bathrooms are of a very high specification, with great showers. There are aircon units in all rooms. Despite very high temperatures, we found we only needed to use the units in the bedrooms and they were excellent. We loved the extensive outside areas, especially the pool and the sofas on the covered terrace. The villa and finca are well positioned in that neither overlooks the other. We didn't try the tennis court as it was so hot, but it looked very well maintained. The views from the villa and terraces were amazing. Those of Palma bay were far better than I imagined they could be. There is a local caretaker, a real gentleman, who lives offsite to contact if there are any problems and he ensures the grounds and pools are kept very clean. The complex is in an ideal position for visiting all the island. You will need a car or be prepared to use taxis however as I don't think there are any bus stops nearby. We had a fabulous time and have no hesitation in recommending the property and we would definitely love to return in the future.

A few years ago when I used to mess around with making skins for these emulator things that I hardly ever played, I was a bit disheartened to find you couldn't use high quality backgrounds or even position or scale them within the emulator controls. The limit was a horribly low 640x480 and gradients showed up with ugly banding.
I've had a boring week so went back to the Xbox after a few years away and downloaded some supposedly HD skins to see if this old bugbear had been ironed out and they're just some 640x480 pics like always..
Can we ditch these age old restrictions now, in 2011 and have some UI upgrading for our HDTVs?
Here's some clean, simple, hopefully good-looking screens to use (I know some of you are fans of the PMIII bland stuff, yuk) You'll be hard to convert. There's no intro or loading screens (why would you want one?), obviously no settings ini (but it's obvious where the text should go), no music, sounds or those little popup screens. I would have included the latter things if I could test this out futher, but I haven't even got the FTP cable at home. I've done away with calling them the likes of MednafenX-NES.... and just put proper logos. Much cleaner. There's only one screenshot placeholder because I don't dig the multiple screenshot + boxart + video thing. That's madness, never-ending madness. I just wanna play the game with minimal fuss.
So, If you like these, can you please show some support to the devs for changes, thanks.
Main Menus, Game Select and Config screens:
And one for the Super Nintendo that I'm not 100% with and is there even an Xport/Madmab emu for it? Idk.

Norine Hammond was chosen Thursday night to take over the 94th District House seat recently vacated by the death of Rep. Rich Myers.
The selection came after a weighted vote of county Republican Party chairpersons from six of the seven counties in the legislative district.
A date for Hammond's swearing in to fill the remainder of Myers' existing term will likely be next week. The ceremony for the two-year term will be Jan. 12.
Hammond of Macomb served as Myers' legislative aide for 14 years.
She is active in the Republican Party, and her aide work included constituent issues, attending meetings in Myers' absence and setting up meetings and seminars for the office.
Myers passed away about 10 days ago after a battle with cancer. He held the seat for 16 years and was most recently re-elected in November.
Prior to his death, Hammond said Myers encouraged her to consider seeking the seat.
She said she is anxious to begin work.
"There are so many issues right now that the state has to address," she said. "I really hope to work toward a middle ground."
One of the biggest issues Hammond said she sees is attracting jobs to the state.
"Everything trickles down from that," she said. "Everything comes from people working."
The 94th District covers McDonough, Hancock, Henderson, Warren, Fulton, Mercer and Mason counties.
Party chairpersons from each of those counties, except Mercer, interviewed six candidates in Macomb on Thursday before the vote.
Each party representative then cast ballots for their choice equal to the number of votes Myers received in the last election. Those totals were: McDonough - 6,545 votes; Hancock - 4,920 votes; Warren - 4,280 votes; Mason - 3,252 votes; Henderson - 2,092 votes; Fulton - 1,807 votes and Mercer - 410 votes.

Roundup: Splitter Returning to Form
by: Luis Fernández - Director of International Scouting
March 6, 2007
Player of the Week:
Tiago Splitter
Its official:
Tiago Splitter
is back. After playing in pain for months, he once again looks like the same old intense, aggressive and active player we always knew. Its a completely different feeling from what he transmitted just a few weeks ago. His quickness, athletic reactivity, the way he chases after rebounds, his renewed confidence looking for the basket his body language speaks for itself.
It didnt make sense. It wasnt logical that a guy who had always been distinguished by his intensity and activity on court, a hard-working player such as Splitter, suddenly looked so passive and soft. As we have told you here a few times, it was almost certainly a matter of the back problems that apparently seem resolved now.
Tiago couldnt have chosen a better moment to show up again. Right in the middle of the Top-16 fight in the Euroleague, and with
Zoran Planinic
back on court after his finger injury, Splitters improved contribution should be able to help take Tau Vitoria all the way back to the Final Four. Indeed this week was a triumphant march for Tau over its rivals. Lottomatica Roma was no opponent in the Euroleague, never being able to find any answer to the offensive and defensive power displayed by the Spanish team. Tiago had 18 points (a season high for him in the competition) and 5 rebounds. Style-wise, it was his typical performance, playing basically without the ball to look for spaces in the paint and punish defensive rotations. But he was much more active searching for these options, while looking more confident and quick when it came to attacking the basket for the layup, or eventually for the two-handed dunk. The same could be said about his defense, significantly improved from previous weeks. He could even successfully contain perimeter rivals in defensive switches.
The Brazilian looked even better in the ACB League. For some stretches, he was everywhere, being a part of almost every play, whether offensive or defensive, that occurred on the court. He was the cornerstone for Tau building an early lead in the first quarter that pretty much left Unicaja Málaga knocked out. Splitter settled for 15 points and 8 rebounds, staying particularly aggressive in the rebounding department. He grabbed some excellent boards with opposition on both ends of the court, not backing down from contact and exploiting his quickness.
Offensively, Tiago was very active in the low post, trying to score in one-on-one situations, although with mixed results. He was called for travelling twice and committed an offensive foul, although they were all nice post moves. On the other hand, he forced fouls himself, delivered some solid passes out of the low post whenever he was double teamed, and also displayed a very nice finish extending his right arm under Daniel Santiagos left to release a layup.
Hopefully, Splitter will be able to stay healthy for the remainder of the season. If this happens, expect him to have a very good shot at cracking the lottery. While some people might be tired of hearing his name (it seems like forever since he first declared for the draft), we shouldnt forget that hes a seven footer that, when healthy, delivers day in and day out at the very top level of international basketball.
Taking a Long Look at
Vladimir Stimac
, who is tearing it up for Lacplesa Alus in the Baltic League. This week, the Serbian big delivered a couple of superb performances leading his team to the victory. Against Atletas, he had 24 points, 18 rebounds and 4 steals; facing Panevezys, he produced 31 points, 17 rebounds and 3 steals. Stimac belongs to the Lithuanian powerhouse Zalgiris, but was loaned some weeks ago to Lacplesa Alus. Having already played five games there, he has enjoyed an immediate impact for his squad. Vladimir averages 22 points, shooting a ridiculous 76% from the field, and 13 rebounds, while Lacplesa Alus has gone 4-1 in the Baltic League since his arrival. Its pretty impressive, regardless of the mediocre competition level.
Born in 1987, Vladimir is another member of that extremely talented Serbian generation, which weve spoken of ad-nauseum, so deep that he has only played with the National Team in the 2005 U-18 Championship, where he was a secondary guy. Chances are his role with be significantly bigger this summer at the U-20 stage.
Photo: ELTA
Hes a 6-10 inside player who makes a living in the paint. Quite strong for his age, Stimac uses his big body perfectly in the low post, displaying nice moves and solid footwork, while enjoying an excellent ability to put the ball in the net around the basket, as he uses both hands and looks quite reliable with the semi-hook. Vladimir is a smart guy who makes good decisions and plays pretty well off the ball, while he enjoys good hands and shows a high level of activity on court. Thats how Stimac makes up for his limited athleticism, trying to make the most out of it with intensity and aggressiveness, which helps him tremendously on defense and rebounding, areas where he shows good positioning and the attitude to get the job done.
However, if we talk about potential, his athletic shortcomings and the fact that hes an undersized center are not the most intriguing combination. In simple words, he doesnt look like an NBA prospect at this point at all. Still, his emergence in the Baltic League was too spectacular to ignore here.
State of the Prospect: Whos Hot
Yi Jianlian
completed the CBA quarterfinal series with another superb stat-line: 32 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks. Indeed Guangdong has swept Shangai (3-0) following Yis impressive production, with averages of 30 points (67% from the field), 14 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. Truly
Yao Ming
-esque numbers. Its interesting to note that, while Yi built his scoring effort with mid-range jumpers in the first game, he stuck to dunks and layups in this third act, finally taking full advantage of Shangais weak inside game. Actually, he only shot one jump-shot, and it went in. Instead, he looked for his points in the low post (where his unpolished footwork was exposed once again), cleaning the offensive glass (he grabbed 5 offensive boards), in transition plays or moving without the ball to find open looks under the hoop. On defense, he didnt put in much effort, lacking focus and intensity.
Nikita Shabalkin
erupted for 34 points and 5 rebounds in the first game of the FIBA EuroCup Challenge against PizzaExpress from Cyprus. The Russian forward stayed almost perfect, missing one lone field goal and a free throw. His team Samara lost the game by two points, but remains well positioned for the second leg of the semifinals, to be played at home in Russia, in order to advance to the final. Although this is obviously a very weak competition, Shabalkin stands third in the scoring column with 22.2 points per game, which is not bad at all.
Anton Ponkrashov
managed to dish out a whopping 14 assists (a career-high, as far as we know) in CSKAs blow-out victory over Sibirtelekom-Lokomotiv. He only needed 27 minutes on court to reach that impressive figure, truly amazing in international basketball. But there was more, as he scored 17 points with no field goals missed, while he rounded out his performance with 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Ponkrashov is just a terrific playmaker who suffers from CSKAs depth and demanding level to get more consistent playing time, particularly if we talk about the Euroleague.
Marco Belinelli
delivered 29 points and 4 rebounds in Climamio Bolognas victory over TDShop.it Livorno. This is only the second victory on the road for Climamio this season in the Italian League, and more will have to come if this Italian powerhouse wants to advance to the playoffs. Curiously, this is the third time Marco reaches this point mark, but only in this occasion his team ended up winning the game. Anyway, he continues climbing up the Italian scoring leaders chart, now standing fifth with 18.3 points per game.
Danilo Gallinari
s sweet momentum continues. This weekend he had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in Armani Jeans Milanos victory over Premiata Montegranaro. The Italian wunderkind has scored in double digits in 6 out of the last 7 games, averaging 15.1 points over that span.
Manuchar Markoishvili
had 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals leading Olimpija Ljubljana over Crvena Zvezda. It was an excellent game against a quality rival in a very solid season for him. Perhaps Markoishvili doesnt impress as much with his potential anymore, but hes becoming a productive player in the European scene.
Stanko Barac
emerged again with another big game, leading Siroki over Geoplin Slovan with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. His production grows as the season advances, just confirming his status as one of the most intriguing prospects in the Adriatic League this season.
State of the Prospect: Whos Not
Mantas Kalnietis
barely received any playing time in the last two games Zalgiris has played in the Baltic League: a grand total of 6 minutes and no points against ASK Riga and Lietuvos Rytas. Coach Grigas doesnt seem to trust the young point guard enough to run Zalgiris offense. Actually, both were difficult games (a close victory against ASK and a painful loss against the archrival Rytas), and it was
DeJuan Collins
taking over the playmaking duties. It comes to reflect the fact that Kalnietis still is not a reliable point guard, and even if he enjoys all the tools to become an excellent player, he needs to improve in basic areas related to his decision making, such as distribution of the ball or setting the proper game rhythm. The potential is there, but it seems it will take him a bit more than expected to figure out how to effectively take advantage of his wonderful physical/athletic conditions.

The Salvation Army served up a rich tradition today, feeding those in need.
Turkey, stuffing, and everything that goes along with it were plentiful at the Elks Lodge in Grand Junction. The Salvation Army's volunteers served up nearly 1,000 plates piled high plates. The Thanksgiving feast was free of charge and a shuttle bus was even provided to take people to and from the homeless shelter.

The 2015 Front Line Defenders Award
The 2015 Front Line Defenders Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk was presented to imprisoned Chinese HRD Guo Feixiong.
At the ceremony in Dublin City Hall on Friday morning, 11 September 2015, Irish author and playwright Sebastian Barry presented the award to Guo's wife, Zhang Qing, and daughter, Yang Tianjiao (Sara).
The annual award is co-presented by the Al-Jazeera Media Network.
The Front Line Defenders Award is presented annually to one human rights defender who has made an exceptional contribution to defending the human rights of others in their country. Around the world human rights defenders are smeared in the media, arrested and intimidated and accused of undermining the interests of the state or involvement in terrorism.
The Front Line Defenders Award recognises the legitimacy of their work and highlights its vital importance in creating more just and equal societies.
The Jury, consisting of: Mr Pat Breen TD, Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, Senator Averil Power, Mr Ruairi Quinn TD, Mr Sami Alhaj, representing Al Jazeera and Ms Noeline Blackwell, Board of Trustees, Front Line Defenders received nominations from 27 countries. All 5 finalists for this year's Award are either in jail, in hiding or face the threat of jail because of their peaceful work defending the rights of others.
"As we celebrate the courage and commitment of 5 exceptional human rights defenders it is a matter of deep concern that all of the Finalists for this year's Front Line Defenders Award are either in jail, in hiding or face the threat of jail simply because they have the courage to defend the rights of others" said Mary Lawlor, Executive Director, Front Line Defenders, following the jury meeting which took place in Buswell's Hotel in Dublin.
The Finalists for the 2015 Front Line Defenders Award were:
Juan Carlos Flores Solís, Mexico, an environmental rights campaigner, was recently released from prison, but has a charge pending, because he led the opposition of local peasant and indigenous communities to the construction of a gas pipeline on their land near an active volcano.
Diane Marie Rodríguez Zambrano, Ecuador, LGBTI rights activist and the first trans woman to stand for public office in Ecuador has been threatened, intimidated and even kidnapped because of her work promoting the rights of the transgender community. Despite the constant pressure she refuses to give up.
Guo Feixiong, China a Chinese legal activist, also known as Yang Maodong, has been repeatedly jailed and brutally tortured for challenging corruption, defending the rights of human rights defenders, minority groups and small farmers whose land had been confiscated. He is currently in prison awaiting sentencing.
Rasul Jafarov, Azerbaijan one of the most prominent HRDs in Azerbaijan, was arrested on bogus charges of " illegal enterprise, tax evasion, and abuse of official power. A lawyer by profession, Rasul Jafarov is Head of the Human Rights Club and Coordinator of the Art for Democracy campaign, which has launched several campaigns against politically-motivated imprisonment, including the Sing for Democracy campaign which took place in the run-up to the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2012. On 16 April Rasul was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, recently reduced by 3 months.
Yara Sallam, Egypt - Egypt is a human rights lawyer with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR). On 21 June 2014, she was arrested on the day of a peaceful demonstration against the controversial "Protest Law." On 29 October 2014, Yara, and a number of other activists, were convicted on these charges, despite the absence of credible evidence and clear inconsistencies in police reports of the event. She was sentenced to three years' imprisonment,three years' police monitoring and a fine of 10,000 Egyptian Pounds (approx. €1,000). This sentence was later reduced on appeal to two years' imprisonment, two years' monitoring and no fine.

I remain steadfast in my opinion re: sandals and flip flops on men -- it's a heinous attack on the public orbs, akin to shitting in an elevator that the entire world is riding in. To unleash your hairy misshapen feet for the sake of comfort (they're not even that comfortable) is so selfish, it's criminal.
Exhibit A
Would you date him? Would you befriend him? Would you please euthanize him?
Exhibit B
Why bother? Why bother with the gladiator straps? Just glue a rubber sole to your feet, you disgusting gnome.
Exhibit C
I was going to let him slide just because those sandals are interesting enough to be cool. Then I realized those feet belonged to a white guy and those aren't white guy sandals. For that he gets both testicles removed for parading around in sandals he bought while on a wife-hunting trip to Burma.
Exhibit D
I rest my case, I can't do this anymore.
I taste vomit in my mouth.

Photos: Minor league report – a look at how 12 of the Rangers' best prospects fared this week (July 8-14)
Photo: Vernon Bryant/Staff Photographer
Jurickson Profar, SS, double-A Frisco: Profar smacked five hits in 15 at bats for Frisco this week, including home run No. 10 on the season. He continues to mash left-handed pitching, posting a .961 OPS against lefties so far this season, and he's eased any worries of a second-half slump by hitting .326/.388/.581 in 11 games since the All-Star break. But that was just the tip of the iceberg during a big week for Profar -- the 19-year-old also homered in the Futures Game, an All-Star Game that showcases the best young talent in the minors, and he was also named the No. 1 prospect in baseball by ESPN's Keith Law.

Marino: great passer or great QB?
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Aug 04, 2005
NBCSports.com contributor Mike Celizic wrote a thoughtful study Thursday of former Miami quarterback Dan Marino, who joins the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend.
Celizic deserves praise for two reasons:
One, he differentiates between a great passer and a great quarterback. Marino is the greatest passer of all time. He holds virtually every passing record in the book. So it's hard to dispute this assertion. But there's far more to quarterbacking than just passing the ball. Most of it is about leadership. Hey, when a general loses a war, we don't celebrate his brilliant open-field tank tactics. Celizic, then, concludes that Marino is not one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. It's harsh. It's cold. But that's the way field generals are judged – on the battlefield and on the gridiron.
Second, Celizic backs up his commentary with Cold, Hard Football Facts (calling us "an iconoclastic" Web site). He dug deep into our archives and found this little gem from our infancy, "The Marino mythology," and used some of our data in his story.
In the article, we address many of the most pervasive myths that have propped up the Marino legend over the years: he had no defense, had no running game, had to carry undermanned Dolphins teams himself and was a big-game quarterback. All of them are false. We won't rehash the data here. You can, of course, check it out for yourself. Suffice it to say, few quarterbacks were put in a better position to win Super Bowls. When Marino came out of college in 1983, he joined the defending AFC champions – a team led by the league's No. 1 scoring defense, a top ground game and the winningest coach in NFL history. If that's not a formula for Super Bowl success, such a formula does not exist.
The biggest flaw we could find with the greatest passer of all time is something that has befallen many a field general: hubris. Marino seemed to believe that his proficiency throwing the ball was a skill that would carry his team to victory. It was not. At least not in the postseason. You know, if your tanks are destroyed every time you order a full frontal assault, maybe it's time for a different tactic. Marino never found one, believing in the end that his full frontal aerial assault would sooner or later break playoff defenses.
Does Marino deserve to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer? Absolutely. He's the greatest passer in NFL history. But just don't confuse that with being the greatest quarterback of all time.

"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." Anyone who's listened to the Man in Black's 1968 live album At Folsom Prison (Columbia) knows that's how the record kicks off. What you may not know, before watching Bestor Cram's Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, is that the crowd of prisoners was coached not to applaud the vocalist when he appeared onstage, but rather to save their hollerin' until he greeted them first.
I kind of expected Cram's doc to simply let the album roll alongside images from the day though the concert wasn't filmed, San Franciscoraised rock photographer Jim Marshall took reams of still photos but it reaches way beyond the music. Cram, whose filmmaking credits include episodes of Frontline and other politically themed works, emphasizes the record's importance to Cash's career, drawing on interviews with Merle Haggard, Cash bandmates, and others, and focuses in particular on how it bolstered his regular-man image as a prison-reform advocate, although the performer himself had never spent significant time behind bars.
Of particular interest is Cram's investigation into the life of Glen Sherley, an aspiring musician who was jailed at Folsom when Cash came to play. The night before the show, unbeknownst to the inmate, Cash crash-coursed Sherley's song "Greystone Chapel." He then performed it live as a stunned and flattered Sherley watched from the front row. The two men, who looked and sounded alike, formed a bond that led to Cash guiding Sherley's music career after his release. But as Sherley's children recollect, it's one thing to be a famous, if bedeviled, star singing about prison, and another entirely to be an ex-con trying to grapple with the music biz.
Also among this year's Noise Pop Film Festival offerings: a Wilco concert doc; a look at the career of Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams; a short film about Bible-flinging '80s rockers Stryper; a tribute to indie record stores; and a "cinebiography" of Os Mutantes' Arnaldo Baptista.

Good evening!
My plans for a decent afternoon walk were abolished by the gloomy, gloomy weather the city was smote with all day. Ah well, given that I'm starting to feel sore from this morning's yoga, I guess I could spare my leg muscles any more exertion.
Before heading out to pick up the kids from school, I enjoyed a sad, sad Luna Bar (Nutz Over Chocolate) sitting by my rainy windowsill:
A Somber Snack on a Soggy Day
Once at work, my stomach kept pestering me to put something in it, so I had some string cheese and my usual Yerbe Mate:
I also feel the need to show you the adorable (Huge) sugar cookie the little girl I watch baked and decorated yesterday. Get this, she drew a picture of a flower in a field using edible ink ! Insane!
What Is the Recipe for Adorable Again?
Dinner was quickly scarfed down because I had to quickly rally up (and feed) three kids in order for them to come to my apartment for a couple of hours (the parents were hosting a school reception at their apartment for grown-ups only). I ordered take-out for everyone from Burger Heaven (I had to, they have a kid-friendly menu) and got myself a HUGE Chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread (I only ate half) with a nice side of grilled veggies, and a couple french fries. The whole ordeal left me stuffed to the max:
The kids and I had an awesome, fun time at my place (I burned off some of dinner's calories by dancing with the toddler). I wish you could all see how absolutely adorable these children are, but out of respect for the family's privacy, I will not be posting any pictures of them on this blog.
After I dropped the kids off at their home, I came home and unwound by enjoying a tea fusion of Kava and Chamomile w/Skim Milk and Honey. I don't know if any of you have tried Kava , but man, that stuff practically gets you drunk. It's weird, though, because it's a super lucid, peaceful kind of buzz. I find I can't drink it during the day because people start telling me about my local AA Chapters due to how tipsy I get from it.
On that note, I'm sleepy. Goodnight!

Just a small thing that has troubled me for some time - it may seen like a joke, but I'm genuinely curious.
In the catholic faith (the only one I know), god is always referred to as a man (He, the Father, et cetera...) and the only woman prayed to is Mary (not a godess, but as the mother of Jesus, son of god). This always appeared to me to be a way to make women into second class members of the church (that and a whole lot of other things in the catholic…Continue

When talking to theists, the theist will eventually say something to the effect like "It's part of
gODs plan".
Hmmmm......To me, when I make a plan I'm not sure of the outcome though I hope for a
positive outcome.
Lets say I want to go from Florida to Arizona. So...I get out my maps, calculator, pencil
and paper and make a list of what I need to do. THIS IS MY PLAN
Will my plan have a positive outcome? It's unknown till I reach…

I consider the Cosmological Argument the best argument for a creator God. Given the theme of this blog, I don't consider it a particularly good argument, but it is the best none the less. What follows is the most fair, if not conclusive, rebuttal I have to give.
The argument from the origin of the universe, or the Cosmological Argument dates back to the beginning of apologetics. If you are interested in the history, Google it. I plan on…

Health Indicator Report of Gonorrhea Cases
Although much less common than chlamydia infections, gonorrhea, caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is a priority public health concern in Utah. Untreated gonorrhea infections can damage the reproductive systems of both males and females. Females with gonorrhea infection are at risk for developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and both men and women may become infertile as a result of untreated gonorrhea infections. Also, susceptibility to infections such as HIV also increases when an individual has gonorrhea. Furthermore, pregnant women with gonorrhea can pass the infection to their infant during delivery, potentially resulting in ophthalmia neonatorum. Gonorrhea can spread to joints and become systemic (disseminated gonorrhea). In addition to the cervix and urethra, the rectum and pharynx are also possible sites of gonococcal infection.
Gonorrhea by Race/Ethnicity, Utah, 2013
NotesRates were calculated by dividing the number of cases within a race/ethnicity group by the population within that group and multiplying by 100,000.
Data Sources
- Utah Department of Health, Bureau of Epidemiology
- Population Estimates by Age, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for Counties in Utah, U.S. Bureau of the Census, IBIS Version 2013
Data Interpretation IssuesReported gonorrhea rates are calculated by dividing the number of cases within the population of interest by the total number of persons within that population, then multiplying by 100,000. It should be noted that because of the relatively small number of gonorrhea infections reported in Utah, rates can be volatile: a small change in the number of cases can noticeably change the rate. This change may look significant, but, statistically, it may not be. Caution is strongly recommended when interpreting small case numbers and rates.
DefinitionRate of newly reported cases of gonorrhea by date of diagnosis per 100,000 population.
NumeratorNumber of newly reported cases of gonorrhea by date of diagnosis.
DenominatorNumber of persons in Utah.
Healthy People Objective STD-6:Reduce gonorrhea rates
U.S. Target: Not applicable, see subobjectives in this category
Other ObjectivesRelated Healthy People 2020 Objectives STD-5: Reduce the proportion of females aged 15 to 44 years who have ever required treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). STD-6: Reduce gonorrhea rates among: * 6.1 Females aged 15 to 44 years; * 6.2 Males aged 15 to 44 years.
How Are We Doing?Following a doubling of Utah's gonorrhea rate from 2003 to 2006, when the rate peaked at 35.2 cases per 100,000 population, Utah's gonorrhea rate decreased annually to the lowest reported rate of 9.8 in 2011. In 2012, the rate increased to 16.8 cases per 100,000 population. The rate increased again in 2013 to 32.8 cases per 100,000 population, a 95% increase from 2012. In 2013, gonorrhea rates in the state were higher in males (39.6 cases per 100,000 population) than in females (26.0). Rates in females increased from 9.4 cases per 100,000 population in 2012 to 26.0 cases per 100,000 population in 2013 (177% increase). The highest rates of gonorrhea in Utah in 2013 were among males aged 25 to 29 (123.7 cases per 100,000 population) and males aged 20 to 24 (105.6).
How Do We Compare With the U.S.?Gonorrhea rates in Utah are well below rates in the U.S. In 2012, Utah's gonorrhea rate ranked 45th in the nation. The overall rate for gonorrhea in the U.S. in 2012 was 107.5 cases per 100,000 population. Nationally in 2012, gonorrhea rates were higher in females (108.7 cases per 100,000 persons) than males (105.8 cases per 100,000 population). Gonorrhea rates were highest among females aged 20 to 24 (578.5 cases per 100,000 population) and females aged 15 to 19 (521.2). The next highest group was males aged 20 to 24 (462.8 cases per 100,000 population). [CDC. ''Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance'', 2012.]
What Is Being Done?Persons who test positive for gonorrhea are confidentially interviewed by a disease intervention specialist from a local health department to educate the patient, ensure proper treatment, and to obtain sexual partner information for follow up. This process potentially prevents the spread of infection and reduces the likelihood of the patient becoming reinfected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends that patients with gonococcal infections be treated with a combination gonorrhea/chlamydia antibiotic therapy regardless of chlamydia test result. The Utah Department of Health Communicable Disease Prevention Program, along with local health departments, currently provide STD presentations upon request to a variety of organizations, agencies, and facilities.
Available ServicesLocal health districts have STD (sexually transmitted disease) clinics located at their local health department where adolescents can be tested and treated for STDs at minimal or no cost. Planned Parenthood has locations throughout Utah that also provide STD services at minimal cost. Condoms are available at these locations free of cost. STD presentations are available through the Utah Department of Health upon request. The Utah Department of Health also has educational pamphlets available. The Utah Minor's Consent Law allows adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17 years to be tested and treated for an STD without the consent of a parent.

I'm using the plug-in contactform7. I'm trying to validate my site however the contact form code is messing that up since there is a "/" at the end of the coding when there shouldn't. Contact form doesn't have any way of editing the coding that goes into my codes [at least I don't think there is]. Contactform7 doesn't need any copy and pasting of any code, it is done automatically. So is there anyway of fixing this issue?
My site URL is http://www.smasheddreams.net

Port Melbourne Plaques
Busy today looking for accommodation in Singapore, so here is a half prepared prepared post I made earlier.
These plaques are sprinkled along Beach Road in Port Melbourne. Quite moving in some ways. The first and last refer to overseas arrivals and departures to and from Station Pier and probably Princes Pier too.
It would have been a place of much sadness and tears, joy and laughter and nervousness at meeting strangers or arriving in a new land.
9 comments:
The most famous Port boy -aside from champion full forward Fred Cook, who ended up doing time- was Tommy Lahiff. Tommy was a skinny little bloke who actually played a few games for Port, but was best known as Harry Beitzel's tinny-voiced sidekick on Saturday arvo footy broadcasts. Where anyone else couldn't get into the rooms after a game Tommy was always let in, and you'd hear his high-pitched interviews with players, coaches etc.ReplyDelete
"Are you there,Tommy?" Harry would say, and there'd come this high-pitched squeal: "Yes Harry" and away he'd go.
I've got a documentary taped from the ABC years ago. It's all about Port Melbourne and features Tommy quite a bit. He mentions the changes, including how you can't walk into a Port Melbourne pub wearing dirty overalls any more, and he tells a little anecdote which illustrates perfectly the lost style and bonhomie of pre-latte inner Melbourne. It's about a bloke who owned "a big Amercan car" parked on a vacant lot: "You'd hear it start up about four in the morning on a Saturday, and by about ten oclock that day everyone in Port would have money."
Yep Cazzie, but I remember them.ReplyDelete
Harry was the first public figure I knew to have a hair transplant; and it looked like a wig stitched onto his head.ReplyDelete
Harry Bizarre, we called him.
And yes he also got involved in a swindle, being described in state parliment by that Scottish bloke as "that blue-ed sue-ker Beitzel!" Poor Harry.
Recall that dreadful transplant. He wasn't selected for television work because of his looks was he.ReplyDelete

The Influence of Significant Others on Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Intentions regarding Dietary Supplement Use among Adolescent Athletes
Dunn, Michael S., Eddy, James M., Wang, Min Qi, Nagy, Steve, Perko, Michael A., Bartee, R. Todd, Adolescence
Dietary supplement use has increased significantly over the past decade. The use of supplements among adolescents seems to be influenced by their beliefs and attitudes. The influence of coaches, parents, and athletic trainers also may be important. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine whether attitudes are a better predictor of adolescents' intentions to use dietary supplements than are subjective norms, and (2) to assess the influence of significant others (coaches, parents, and trainers) on attitudes, subjective norms, and intentions among adolescent athletes. Adolescents (N = 1,626) who were enrolled in grades six through twelve in nine public schools completed a self-report questionnaire that measured attitudes, subjective norms, and intentions regarding dietary supplement use. Results indicated that attitudes were a better predictor of intentions to use dietary supplements than were subjective norms. It was also found that trainers had more influence on the attitudes, subjective norms, and inte ntions of adolescents regarding supplement use than did parents and coaches. Implications for prevention are addressed.
Dietary supplement use has been on the rise in the United States (American Dietetic Association, 1994), with sales increasing from $3.3 billion in 1990 to $9 billion in 1997 (Klebnikov & Moukheiber, 1998). It has been estimated that between 42% and 56% of adolescents use dietary supplements (Kim & Keen, 1999; Krumback, Ellis, & Driskell, 1999; Massad, Sheir, Koceja, & Ellis, 1996; Sobal & Marquart, 1994a). Reasons cited for supplement use include improving athletic performance, gaining muscular strength, and increasing energy level (Sobal & Marquart, 1994a). The use of supplements seems to be influenced by beliefs and attitudes; significant others also may be influential.
Only a few studies have assessed these sources of influence on dietary supplement use (Sobal & Marquart, 1994a, 1994b; Marquart & Sobal, 1993; Graves, Farthing, Smith, & Turchi, 1991; Krowchuk, Agnlin, Goodfellow, Stancin, Williams & Zinet, 1989). One study found that 62% of adolescent athletes believed supplements improve performance, with 50% consuming dietary supplements (Sobal & Marquart, 1994b). Another study found that 70% of adolescent athletes believed dietary supplements were effective, 72% felt it was appropriate to use dietary supplements, and 95% believed dietary supplement use presented little or no risk (Krowchuk et al, 1989).
Coaches have been cited as a prime influence in regard to dietary supplement use among adolescents (Douglas & Douglas, 1984; Krowchuk et al., 1989; Sobal & Marquart, 1994b), yet studies have shown that the majority of coaches have no formal training in nutrition (Graves, Farthing, Smith, & Turchi, 1991; Spear, 1994). Spear (1994) found that 32% of coaches in Alabama high schools recommended protein supplementation and had obtained their information from lay health and fitness magazines, 49% did not know the dangerous side effects of supplement use, and 62% instructed their athletes to take vitamin and mineral supplements. Sossin, Gizis, Marquart, and Sobal (1997) found that coaches felt responsible for providing nutrition information, although as a group they scored only 59% on a nutrition knowledge test. Thus, coaches may not be qualified to provide dietary supplement information.
Parents have also been cited as a major influence (Douglas & Douglas, 1984; Krowchuk et al., 1989; Sobal & Marquart, 1994a). Parents seem to influence adolescents' supplement use through conversations about the possible positive effects. Krumback et al. (1999) found that female athletes were most likely to receive dietary supplement information from family members.
Athletic trainers are a third source of influence. Studies have found that trainers are not as influential as coaches and parents, but they are better prepared to give nutritional advice (Graves et al. …

Red Sox Complete Three-Game Sweep in New York, Posada Apologizes
Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz hit home runs as the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 7-5 to complete their first three-game series sweep at Yankee Stadium in seven years.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia added his first homer last night for Boston (20-20), which has a .500 winning percentage for the first time since starting the Major League Baseball season with a 0-6 record.
The Yankees have lost a season-high five straight games, all at home, to fall to 20-18 overall.
"When things are going bad, they're going bad," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said at a news conference. "We've got to turn it around."
The Yankees took a 4-1 lead after two innings on homers by Andruw Jones and Curtis Granderson.
Youkilis tied it with a three-run home run in the top of the third inning and Ortiz's homer put the Red Sox ahead in the fifth. Yankees starting pitcher Freddy Garcia allowed five runs over 5 1/3 innings and took the loss for the third time in his past four outings.
Jon Lester allowed four runs over six innings to improve to 5-1 for Boston, which has won five of six meetings this season with the American League Eastern Division-rival Yankees.
The Red Sox last swept a three-game series in New York on April 23-25, 2004.
Jorge Posada walked as a pinch-hitter for the Yankees in the eighth inning, when he received a standing ovation from the New York crowd. Posada said he apologized to Girardi and Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman, one day after he was demoted to the ninth spot in the batting order and then took himself out of the lineup.
"I just had a bad day," Posada, who is batting .165 in his first season as designated hitter, said in a televised interview. "It's been a frustrating season so far."
Girardi said he wasn't surprised by the reception Posada, 39, received from Yankees fans when he came to bat last night.
"Jorge is loved in our clubhouse, loved by the fans and has meant a lot to the organization," he said. "This has been a great player for a long time."

Also I seem to recalled not all of the images in that portfolio are nude in any case. Even the infamous bull whip one isn't a nude.

The star of Boston Legal, Stargate, Sex, Lies, and Videotape and this fall's NBC drama The Blacklist will play the powerful, rampaging robot in Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron. UPDATED with Joss Whedon's reaction.
1. Marvel Studios announced Thursday morning that James Spader will play the villain Ultron in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
2. Spader has made a career out of playing an eccentric oddball who is so much smarter than everyone else that he can barely condescend to be in the same room with them.
3. Ultron, in the Marvel comics at least, is a robot entity so intelligent and powerful that he decides all of humanity needs to be wiped out, which is sort of the ultimate in condescension.
So one at least on that level, Spader's casting makes a lot of sense. And writer-director Joss Whedon recently told Entertainment Weekly that Ultron is "not a happy guy, which means he's an interesting guy. He's got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff." All of that sounds very much up Spader's alley.
4. But Spader is about to star in NBC's upcoming drama The Blacklist, one of the more promising new series of the season.
Marvel's announcement said Spader was "playing" Ultron, not "voicing" him, which implies Spader will be physically shooting the role via "performance capture," like Mark Ruffalo did with The Hulk in The Avengers.
The pilot for The Blacklist, however, is very Spader heavy. It is being sold largely with his face, and NBC seems particularly bullish on the show. So if it lasts until the spring, when The Avengers: Age of Ultron is expected to go into production, Spader, Marvel, and NBC could find themselves in a scheduling pickle. Not an insurmountable one, but tricky nonetheless.
5. Spader is also known for…how to put this? Taking on roles that are really, really kinky.
Does this mean we'll get a scene in which Ultron angrily yet amorously spanks Iron Man? Joss Whedon, are you paying attention?
6. UPDATE: Instead of some light bondage, it seems perhaps Ultron and Iron Man may eventually team up against the leader of a local street gang.

YA-The setting of this historical/fantasy novel is Roman Briton. Eilan, a Druid girl who has been raised in the cult of the Goddess with the priestesses wielding the power, has fallen in love with a young Roman named Gaius. He is a half-Briton whose mother was of the Druid tribes and whose father is a powerful officer in the Roman legions. The clash between these two cultures and the eventual hope of unification through Eilan and Gaius's son is one of the book's many story lines. Bradley does a masterful job of creating the flavor of the period and the two diverse cultures, as well as strong female characters. With its elements of love story, intense emotions, and mysticism, Forest House will appeal to YAs.

The forbidden love of a druid priestess and a Roman soldier mirrors the clash of cultures in Roman Britain in the latest novel by the author of The Mists of Avalon (Ballantine, 1985). The novel evokes an age when three major religions maintained an uneasy coexistence on the island of Britain. Eilan, a daughter of goddess-worshiping druids, and Gaius Marcellius, a half-British Roman, live for the coming of a legendary future king to unite the warring islanders. Bradley envisions the "old religion" as a refreshing blend of classic and revisionist concepts, adding a distinct flavor to her seamless weave of history and myth. Most libraries will want this for their fantasy collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/93.

Remember Me
Original member and lead guitarist, Don Rogers, will be leaving the band at the end of the month. With increasing desire from the band to tour more consistently, Don's dedication to his family makes it hard for him to keep up with an extensive touring schedule. Don's sound is synonymous with Green Genes and his lightening fast guitar riffs and blazing solos will be impossible to replace. While heads hang low in Lexington, fans are still confident that the band will continue to grow with the new line-up. Rehearsals have long been underway to get the new member to the Genome up to speed, and reports from practice have been overwhelmingly positive. The band has already signed with a national booking agent and is planning to play close to 100 shows in the next year, so keep your eyes and ears open because Green Genes is headed your way.
The farewell shows begin with a Special 4.20 show at the Fishtank in Lexington. This is an early show (7pm) since clubs have to close at 11pm on Sundays. Broken Grass will be opening. Don's final appearances with Green Genes will be on April 24th and 25th at the Fishtank so don't miss it. WE'LL MISS YOU DON!!!!!
