When You Get ThereA Department of Conservation Ranger and one or more representatives of the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi meet all visitors arriving by the 360 Discovery ferry.
The tracks are either hard surface, grass, or boardwalks, with many wooden steps, so if you have a child in a pushchair be prepared to do a bit of lifting. Better still bring a backpack for your baby or toddler. Alternatively the pushchair can be put on the trailer attached to the truck and will be driven up to the Visitor Centre for you. Mountain buggies are more suitable than regular pushchairs for the majority of tracks.
Guided Walks
When you visit Tiritiri Matangi you have the option of taking a guided walk from the wharf up to the Visitor Centre (next to the lighthouse). For first-time visitors especially, this will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the Island. Guides can tell you about the plants and animals you see (and hear), about the history of the Island and how the forest has been restored. Two routes are used for guided walks. The shorter route (Wattle Track) takes about an hour to an hour and a half; the longer route (Kawerau Track) takes up to two hours, perhaps longer depending on what you see en route.
Bookings for guided walks are made with 360 Discovery at the time that you book your ferry ticket - phone 09 307 8005. The number of guides we allocate for each trip is dependent upon the number of visitors who have booked a guided walk. So to avoid disappointment on the day, please book your guided walk prior to arriving on the Island.

November 27. The Day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. It wasn't long ago that Black Friday stood unchallenged and unflappable as the make-or-break epicenter of the annual retail calendar. Then this thing called the Internet made getting great deals 24/7 a lot easier than waking up at three in the morning and standing in the dark and cold with a horde of frantic shoppers still digesting their pumpkin pie.

Well, as an art form, the nude vastly pre-dates the Greeks...in the form of fertility figures and other religious/spiritual contexts. To say it was the Greeks seems to show a little cultural bias.
The use of the word "horndog", while descriptive, cheapens the over-all effect of the piece in my opinion. And "robot" (devoid not only of sexuality, but also free thought) doesn't quite seem to be right either.
Perhaps a paragraph differentianting between sexuality and sensuality would be helpful.

We already heard from Google that it will press forward with its Google TV ambitions along with the new Chromecast dongle, and this FCC filing for a Sony device may reveal what the future holds. Dug up by GTVHacker team member cj_000, the NSZ-GU1 internet player has a model number that follows all of Sony's previous Google TV set-top boxes (NSZ-GT1, NSZ-GS7 and most recently the NSZ-GS8), so there's little doubt about which family it belongs to but there are other questions. Unlike Sony's previous Google TV hardware it actually has an FCC filing, dated June 20th and credited to manufacturer Wistron, and it comes with a USB cable. The notes also show a test layout (after the break) suspiciously similar to the one found in Google's FCC documents for the H2G2-42 Chromecast.
Does this mean it's a Sony-branded Chromecast device? While it's possible, there are a few differences that suggest it isn't. The NSZ-GU1 has an IR blaster like other Google TV boxes, and Bluetooth where the Chromecast doesn't include either. The power adapter it's tested with also could be overkill for a simple dongle-like device, but its input rating is very similar to what's listed on the MST3K power adapter that shipped with the Chromecast. We couldn't find any other information to base a final decision on (update: other than a hit on the A1: Dev SD benchmark), hit the source link to take a peek at the filing for yourself and see if there are any clues we may have missed.

text: For the last 2-3 years I have been shooting almost exclusively B&W, slowly learning to take control of the image from beginning to end. Occasionally a little Portra or the Leica v-lux for color. Just last night I stayed up later than I should, with the loupe and light box, going over some 3-8 year old slides from my love affair with Velvia. Most of these didn't impress me all that much at the time, but I was shocked at the nearly 3D detail and how the colors leaped off the film. Digital is easy and gives nice, accurate color, but it just doesn't measure up in image quality. It makes me want to drag out Mom's old projector to see them at life size.

|Derivation and Validation of a Simple Exercise-Based Algorithm for Prediction of Genetic Testing in Relatives of LQTS Probands.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22042885 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background-Genetic testing can diagnose long-QT syndrome (LQTS) in asymptomatic relatives of patients with an identified mutation; however, it is costly and subject to availability. The accuracy of a simple algorithm that incorporates resting and exercise ECG parameters for screening LQTS in asymptomatic relatives was evaluated, with genetic testing as the gold standard.Methods and Results-Asymptomatic first-degree relatives of genetically characterized probands were recruited from 5 centers. QT intervals were measured at rest, during exercise, and during recovery. Receiver operating characteristics were used to establish optimal cutoffs. An algorithm for identifying LQTS carriers was developed in a derivation cohort and validated in an independent cohort. The derivation cohort consisted of 69 relatives (28 with LQT1, 20 with LQT2, and 21 noncarriers). Mean age was 35±18 years, and resting corrected QT interval (QTc) was 466±39 ms. Abnormal resting QTc (females ≥480 ms; males ≥470 ms) was 100% specific for gene carrier status, but was observed in only 48% of patients; however, mutations were observed in 68% and 42% of patients with a borderline or normal resting QTc, respectively. Among these patients, 4-minute recovery QTc ≥445 ms correctly restratified 22 of 25 patients as having LQTS and 19 of 21 patients as being noncarriers. The combination of resting and 4-minute recovery QTc in a screening algorithm yielded a sensitivity of 0.94 and specificity of 0.90 for detecting LQTS carriers. When applied to the validation cohort (n=152; 58 with LQT1, 61 with LQT2, and 33 noncarriers; QTc=443±47 ms), sensitivity was 0.92 and specificity was 0.82.Conclusions-A simple algorithm that incorporates resting and exercise-recovery QTc is useful in identifying LQTS in asymptomatic relatives.

Michael Bay lashes out at "unhappy actors" (AKA Hugo Weaving)
Michael Bay On Complaining Actors: 'Be Happy You Even Have A Job'
The Huffington Post | By Christopher Rosen Posted: 10/18/2012 11:36 am EDT Updated: 10/18/2012 11:40 am EDT
Michael Bay has shot back at "Transformers" voice actor Hugo Weaving without even mentioning Weaving's name.
"Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs?" Bay wrote. "With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasnt 'artistic enough' or 'fulfilling enough'?"
Weaving, who voiced Megatron in Bay's three "Transformers" films, called the work "meaningless," while also saying he never even met Bay face to face. In his retort, Bay cites THR as publishing Weaving's comments (again, without mentioning Weaving by name), but the original interview was published by Collider. (HuffPost Entertainment picked up Weaving's remarks as well.)
"Thats a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially," Weaving said. "It was one of the only things Ive ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didnt care about it, I didnt think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I dont regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if its meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I dont mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things."
Weaving isn't the first "Transformers" star to ding the films. Megan Fox famously compared Bay to "Hitler," while also claiming that the films were dangerous. "Shia [Labeouf] and I almost die when we make a 'Transformers' movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."
LaBeouf, who has often spoken out against projects he didn't like -- "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" among them -- also knocked the franchise.
"We got lost [on the second movie]. We tried to get bigger. It's what happens to sequels. It's like, how do you top the first one? You've got to go bigger," LaBeouf said. "Mike [Bay] went so big that it became too big, and I think you lost the anchor of the movie. ... You lost a bit of the relationships. Unless you have those relationships, then the movie doesn't matter. Then it's just a bunch of robots fighting each other."
For Bay, that kind of talk is exhausting.
"What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job - let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America," he wrote.
For more from Bay, including his offer to any actor not pleased with their "unhappy job money," head over to MichaelBay.com.
The link to Bay's website at the bottom of the article seems to be bad. Perhaps Bay posted a message and then later took it down? Don't know.
On one hand, I kinda agree with Bay here. Hugo Weaving knew what he was getting into, and did it
three times
(at apparently 200K a pop for less than two hours work each).

ViewNX 2 and P7700 NRW files.
Jan 14, 2014
So I downloaded the latest version of ViewNX2, 2.8.3, but it will not show thumbnails for NRW files from my Nikon P7700. Unsupported file, it says. (The new version got rid of the older version of View NX2 as expected, but also removed an earlier ViewNX (not2) which up to this had happily co-existed with NX2. I liked having two version available.) I don't have the copy of NX2 that came with the camera. Any ideas?
Nikon Coolpix P7700

i AM STILL BF BUT TRIED TO GIVE HER WHOLEMILK AND SHE REFUSES IT. SHE WILL DRINK A TON OF WATER THO. ARE YOU DOING BOTH?
We are still breastfeeding 3-4 times per day, but LO recently started liking whole organic milk from a sippy with meals -- he used to hate it and would only take water with meals. I just kept offering whenever I remembered, and he started taking it!
I'm glad my LO isn't the only one refusing milk. I thought I was alone.
LO has dairy issues, but we did a milk trial a few weeks ago. She barely took a few sips and wanted nothing to do wiht it... and threw up a little while later.
She has taken to coconut milk, and has been drinking maybe 3-5 ounces a day between meals (she's only wants water at meals). She might would drink more if we weren't still BF 3-4 times (I'd like to wean soon, I think). I tried mixing some almond milk in wiht her coconut milkt he other day, and she threw her sippy at me. I tried drinkignt he almond milk myself, and I think the unsweetened stuff is pretty disgusting (but the sweetened is wayyy too sweet).

There really is no comparing the FE2 with the OM4. I love Nikon gear, and my old black F is my favorite SLR camera, but for a light, compact, and feature-packed camera, the OM4 is nearly impossible to beat. Others have mentioned the meter, which even the latest digital wonder cameras cannot compete with, but there is also the brighter finder, a diopter adjuster (the FE requires screw-in diopter lenses), and, with the T cameras, the ability to use the F280 flash at any shutter speed. The OM is also smaller, and a bit quieter than the Nikon.
As for lenses, I find the plain-Jane Zuiko 50/1.8 lens to be my favorite. Nikon lenses may be more sturdy, but they are also more heavy, and don't seem to focus with the same smoothness/preciseness as the Olympus lenses. Also, I prefer the quality of the images from the Zuiko 35, 24, and 21mm lenses over their Nikon equivalents.
But, after all that I have written above, I actually shoot an FM3A. I feel that the OM system is superior in several ways, but I find Nikon equipment more suitable to myself.

22 cu FT of space makes this the largest cargo box. With the box moved all the way to the front, there is about 1/8" of clearance between the top brake light and the bottom of the box, when the hatch is open. Love it!! With the aerodynamics, we saw a small change in MPG driving the speed limit. When the box is at full load capacity, it will flex. You will need to help the box close fully when locking it. (especially in the front, where there is the most flex) Use the tie down straps. The load will shift during your drive. The box is rated at 110 lbs of capacity. It will handle more.

THE ADVANCE in speedy communication across the Plains came like a whirlwind. On September 15, 1858, the Butterfield stage line made possible the carrying of messages from the Missouri frontier to the Pacific Coast in twenty-five days. In 1860 the Pony Express cut the carrying time to nine days, but before this romantic courier system was well started, plans were laid for extending the telegraph across the vast space of plains and mountains.
On June 16, 1860, Congress passed an act "To facilitate communication between the Atlantic and Pacific States by electric telegraph." This act directed the Secretary of the Treasury to subsidize a telegraph line from the western border of Missouri to San Francisco, in an amount not exceeding $40,000 a year for a period of ten years. Bids were to be received, and the government was to award the contract to the lowest bidder.1 The act specified the completion of the line by July 31, 1862. It also stipulated that a ten-word message from Brownville, Nebraska, to San Francisco should not cost over three dollars and that government despatches should have precedence over all other messages. The Smithsonian Institution, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and Naval Observatory were to have free use of the line during the period of the subsidy.
Hiram Sibley of New York, inspirer and promoter of the act, secured the contract with its subsidy in the latter half of September, 1860. Sibley was president of the Western Union____________________

Solanum bullatum
Solanum bullatum is a species of plant in the Solanaceae family. It is endemic to Brazil.

References and More Information
Solanum bullatum is not clearly related to the other species of sect. Brevantherum. Its rather furfuraceous pubescence allies it with sect. Anthoresis while its accrescent calyces and glabrate upper leaf surfaces place it close to S. leucodendron and other species in sect. Lepidotum. Indeed, Dunal (1852) regarded his S. macropus (based on S. bullatum Vell.) as a member of sect. Lepidotum. S. bullatum provides evidence for the close relationship of sections Brevantherum, Anthoresis, and Lepidotum. It is characterized by young branches and peduncles sulcate; stem hairs partly dendritic, nearly furfuraceous; leaves coriaceous, glabrate above; calyx accrescent in fruit; rays of hairs often variously twisted.A type specimen of S. bullatum is unknown. The illustration in Vellozo's plates from the Flora Fluminensis (1831, vol. 2, tab. 104) is definitive in essential characters and Roe (1972) suggested this plate was a logical choice for a lectotype but did not effectively lectotypify S. bullatum by stating ambiguously that it "may be regarded as type in lieu of a specimen".

Gareth Bale joins Real Madrid from Spurs in £85m world record deal
Real Madrid have broken the world transfer record to sign Tottenham forward Gareth Bale.
The Wales star has agreed a £300,000 per week, six-year deal after sealing an £85.3m (100m euros) move which eclipses the £80m Real paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
"It's very important for Gareth to throw his heart and soul into this move.
"He's got it all and ability-wise he is phenomenal. The only question is whether he's got the mental strength to cope with such a big transfer and the spotlight that will be immense in Spain.
"But it's a fabulous opportunity for him and the important thing is he really needs to grasp it with both hands."
"I have had six very happy years at Tottenham but it's the right time to say goodbye," said 24-year-old Bale.
"We've had some special times together and I've loved every minute of it."
Bale will have a medical and then be presented to the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu at 12:00 BST on Monday before speaking at a media conference.
He added: "I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave a club where I felt settled and was playing the best football of my career to date.
"I know many players talk of their desire to join the club of their boyhood dreams, but I can honestly say, this is my dream come true.
"Tottenham will always be in my heart and I'm sure this season will be a successful one for them.
"I am now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in my life, playing football for Real Madrid."
Bale joined Spurs as a left-back for £10m from Southampton in 2007 and scored 26 goals last season as he was named both the Professional Footballers' Association's and Football Writers' player of the year.
Bale's season-by-season Premier League stats
- 2012-13: Played 33, goals 21, assists four
- 2011-12: Played 36, goals nine, assists 10
- 2010-11: Played 30, goals seven, assists one
- 2009-10: Played 23, goals three, assists five
- 2008-09: Played 16, goals 0, assists 0
- 2007-08: Played eight, goals two, assists 0
His representatives told Spurs at the end of July that he wanted to speak to the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's claim at the start of August that they were "in talks to find a solution" to the transfer angered Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas, but the clubs have now reached a settlement.
After his side's 1-0 loss to Arsenal, Villas-Boas said: "Bale is a wonderful player. He is going to join Real Madrid so we wish him all the best.
"He left us with some great memories from last season."
Bale, who becomes Real Madrid's fifth signing of the summer, paid tribute to both Southampton and Tottenham for developing his career.
He said: "I am well aware I would not be at the level I am today were it not for firstly Southampton and then Spurs standing by me during some of the tougher times and affording me the environment and support they have.
"I would like to thank everyone at the club; the chairman, board, staff, coaches and players, and, most of all, the fantastic fans who I hope will understand this amazing career opportunity."
Spurs have been busy in this transfer window, signing seven players for a total outlay approaching £105m.
Tottenham's summer signings
- Argentina forward Erik Lamela (Roma, £25.7m, pictured)
- Brazil midfielder Paulinho (Corinthians, £17m)
- Spain striker Roberto Soldado (Valencia, £26m)
- Belgium winger Nacer Chadli (FC Twente, £7m)
- France defensive midfielder Etienne Capoue (Toulouse, £9m)
- Romania centre-back Vlad Chiriches (Steaua Bucharest, £8.5m)
- Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen (Ajax, £11.5m)
Brazil midfielder Paulinho has arrived from Corinthians for around £17m; forward Roberto Soldado has signed from Valencia for £26m, and Roma playmaker Erik Lamela has joined for a reported £25.7m.
Their other summer arrivals are Nacer Chadli from FC Twente for £7m, Etienne Capoue for £9m from Toulouse, Romania centre-back Vlad Chiriches from Steaua Bucharest for £8.5m, and Ajax's 21-year-old Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen for £11.5m.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy admitted he did not expect to have to plan for the season without Bale.
"Gareth was a player we had absolutely no intention of selling as we look to build for the future," said Levy.
"He is a player whose career we have fostered and developed and he was only a year into his new four-year contract.
"Such has been the attention from Real Madrid, and so great is Gareth's desire to join them, we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season.
"We have, therefore, with great reluctance, agreed to this sale and do so in the knowledge that we have an exceptionally strong squad to which we have added no fewer than seven top internationals.
"More importantly, we have an immense team spirit and a dressing room that is hungry for success."
Bale's sale could now trigger a series of deals involving other Premier League clubs before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Monday.
Southampton will receive £2m as a result of the move but that figure could have been 10 times as much, had they not decided to allow Spurs to buy out the player's 15% sell-on clause in 2007.
At the time, Southampton were struggling financially and so decided to sell the clause back to Tottenham for £3m.
As part of the deal, Southampton got Spurs youth goalkeeper Tommy Forecast although he never played a senior game. So instead of an £11m windfall, Southampton will have to make do with a £2m Fifa solidarity payment, which comes their way for developing the player.

I didn't believe in God until I witnessed Gareth Bale 2012/13. He's a phenomenon, a miracle creation.
Forget CR7/Messi/Iniesta - Bale's the best player in the world. If I owned PSG I'd have paid Spurs £250m no problem.
He was the definition of one man team last season. Messi/CR7 are surrounded by class at their clubs. Bale had poor team mates in comparison.
Madrid have signed THE soccer God

If Bale is worth 90 million then Rooney is worth 900 million. Real just got made the biggest mugs in the history of man. The only world class thing about Gareth Bale is his diving

FIFA must be allowed to set the price of players not the clubs
This is ludicrous that Daniel Levy puts that sort of a price on an individual
If you think FIFA must set players' price give me a thumbs up so that the world knows

People moaning about Bale's money. So Sad
Maybe if you worked as hard as he has you would have deserved riches. Through hard graft I now excel at my profession and as a result I'm fairly wealthy.
More working, less moaning - try it guys

Spurs DID not selling G bale quick enough to scamper Arsenal's chances of signing Real's players
Why aren't people complaining about this?
This is illegal and Spurs should be reported and maybe ducted points
They are enemies of football. Why is the FA not deducting points, or something?
Levy why
Comment number 345. Posted by Fortuneon 1 Sept 2013 19:05
A one season wonder - Real are fool.
As an expert in all things soccer, I have watched this man play more than anyone. My conclusion is that he is a one trick pony, a 'glamour player'
Walcott would have been a better option

Out of curiosity your job is what exactly?
I'm actually an investment banker and my bonus this year was probably more than your total salary for 'a job I wouldn't survive in'
Footballers live an awful life with people constantly harassing them. Bale deserves what he gets

I am planning a week on the Katy Trail, one end to the other, during the first week of July. It will be credit card type camping, with my wife going along to hunt for antiques and a wine shop.
Should I use my touring bike, currently with 700x32 tires, and just change the tires to 37 or 42's or maybe even 45's? My touring bike is set up for ultimate comfort, I ride 100 miles a week or more on it now on blacktop, and it is my favorite.
Or, would I be better off to take my hardtail mountain bike, currently with 26x1.95" road tires, and maybe change those to a 1.4 or 1.5" tire? I don't ride it as much, but do ride 20 to 30 miles once in while on packed gravel.
Both bikes can accomodate a set of panniers for a long day trip so the ability to carry what I need is not an issue.
Any thoughts on tires and bike to use?

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Symbols'.
The value of icons lies in their ability to communicate with visitors or users in a more intuitive and effective way. Jakob Nielsen, the maestro of usability, postulated few years ago that "recognition rather than recall" is one of the basic heuristics for user-friendly design. In fact, it's necessary to "minimize the user's memory load by making objects, actions, and options visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the dialogue to another. Instructions for use of the system should be visible or easily retrievable whenever appropriate."
Icons are supposed to achieve just that. And this is why it's useful to actually use them both on your desktop and in your web design. They can reduce the complexity of the design and make it easier to get from point A to point B.
In the overview below we present some of the fresh high-quality free icons which you can use for your desktop; we also showcase free professional icon sets, buttons and vector graphics you can use for your web designs. You might know some of them, but hopefully not all of them. Not all listed freebies can be used for commercial projects, however you can use all of them in your private projects of for you personal purposes. Please read the disclaimers carefully before using the icons - they're changing from time to time.
You can also scan through the icons-related articles we've published before:
We continue to collect best freeware and stock symbols, buttons and icons. Here are few sets we've stumbled upon over the last few weeks.
IconCool collects Icons for Windows XP. There are 16 icon sets, which can be downloaded for free. Most of them include original icons from Microsoft.Read more...
We've all been there: sitting in front of a new design layout, we realize that something doesn't fit, is even disturbing, but we have no idea what it is and how we should improve the page. Sometimes, line-height can do the job and sometimes background can completely change the impression on the visitors - in fact, sometimes the smallest design elements we overlook can drastically improve the readability of a given text.But if your attemps to change the layout haven't beart any fruits, maybe you were looking in a wrong place. To improve the usability one can use a variety of methods and techniques - in fact, many of them will be presented in the next articles on the Smashing Magazine.Read more...

News agencies not covering IPLComment on this story
London – The Associated Press and other international news organisations have suspended coverage of the Indian Premier League cricket tournament that starts this week in the United Arab Emirates.
IPL organisers have barred photographic agencies that have traditionally covered cricket from working at the one-day international tournament, which is made up of city franchise teams.
organisers say a small selection of pictures taken by its own photographers will be made available to the media.
The tournament is run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the sport's governing body in India. International media have not covered the last three editions of the IPL as well as tours to India by Australia and England because of similar restrictions.
AP is working with the News Media Coalition, a consortium of international media, to try to resolve the issue. – Sapa-AP

Additional Information
About FAPEFAPE, the Foundation for the Assistance of Small Businesses, is a nonprofit, socially-minded institution that provides loans to micro-entrepreneurs across Guatemala.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

However, if your flash meter can read directly in Lux-second then it takes out all the above variables and that is all you need.
Personally, I 'calibrate' my sensitometer with some known film, like Ilford D100. There is a precedent in the literature on using film for this type of calibration.
Also, did you see the lengthy discussion about Bill's EG&G sensitometer and how he was able to check it with a flashmeter?

I am worried that someone take advantage of him being a senior citizen he was told by 1 mechanic without looking at vehicle that it would cost 500-600 dollars

Dan Marino: $13.5 million for autograph (and house); Marlins' groundbreaking;
Ten bedrooms. Twelve bathrooms. One autographed Dan Marino football.
Price tag: $13.5 million.
Marino's home in Weston is for sale -- actually, for sale, again. It was a couple of years ago.
"You in the market?" Marino asked then, when I was out there.
"Let me check my savings account,'' I said.
To show how far he's come: When Marino signed his rookie contract in 1983, he splurged on a few things: A satellite dish for his parents in Pittsburgh (which was so big they had to cut down the buckeye tree in their backyard); a new stereo system; and a lease on a Hollywood condo.
Marlins stadium groundbreaking: The date for the new stadium's groundbreaking was set for July 18. The question is whether more people will show up for that than Monday night's 4-0 win against San Francisco.
Rookie Sean West might be just what the Marlins needs: Some hope on the back-end of the rotation.That makes a couple of quality starts in four attempts for West. He has a 2.22 ERA and opponents are batting .159. On Monday, he entered the seventh with a no-hitter - then showed afterward he has a a little bit of Yogi Berra in him.
''The no-hitter was on my mind the whole time, but I tried not to think about it,'' he said.
NBA Finals: I still give the Magic a chance this series. Game 1 was a throwaway. In Game 2, the Magic guards shot 6 of 26 and Courtney missed a layup chance to win the game in the final second (too bad, as it would have gone down for Stan Van Gundy as one of the great coaching plays in NBA history). I still have the Lakers in 6. But the Magic isn't out of this.

New Zealand services sector activity, which accounts for about two thirds of the economy, expanded for a ninth month in January, underpinned by a six-and-a-half year high in new orders.
The BNZ-BusinessNZ performance of services index increased 0.5 points to 58.1, the highest level since November 2007, and was up from 53.3 a year earlier. A reading of 50 or higher indicates the sector is in expansion, while a reading below 50 indicates a contraction.
The PSI was led by new orders/business with a reading of 66.1, its highest level since June 2007, followed by activity/sales with a reading of 63.2. Employment rose 2.6 points to 55.2. Supplier deliveries fell into contraction with a reading of 47.7 from 52.9 in December, as did stocks/inventories with 45.6, down from 54.2.
"The surge in new orders fits with the other story of the latest PSI, that of inventory slimming at a rate of knots," BNZ economist Craig Ebert said in his note. "In short, service sector firms look to be caught short on this account."
Still, Ebert said that was a sign of "surprisingly strong upswing in demand."
The seasonally adjusted BNZ-BusinessNZ performance of composite index, which combines the PSI with the performance of manufacturing index, increased 0.2 points to 57.9 on a GDP-weighted basis, and was up 0.4 points to 57.4 on a free-weighted basis.
Today's PSI showed Otago/Southland had the fastest expansion at 60.2, followed by 57.9 in the Northern region, while Canterbury/Westland was at 50.1. The Central region experienced its first contraction since March with a reading of 48.6.
Retail trade remained the most positive sub-sector at 66.3, followed by wholesale trade at 62.1 and accommodation, cafes and restaurants at 61.4. Property and business services reported a 52.2 reading and transport and storage 50.1. Health and community services activity showed a contraction at 44.7, due to the summer holiday break.

EDIT: Closed It's been 6 years since I was last at Alio (5 Baptist Street, Surry Hills). I refuse to link to the post because I sound exactly the same with only marginally better photos haha oh the shame! So birthday dinner was awhile go and my memory is all kinds of fuzzy thanks to
wine, old age general gold fish memory but the stand out of the night was the freaking incredible Antipasti Plate ($30)! That there is a board of awesome! Slices of bresaola, salami, ribbons of prosciutto, gorgeous coppa, salty sweet spanish white anchovy, creamy buffalo mozzarella, wedges of grana padano, marinated mushrooms and olives, truffled dwarfed peaches and cheesy bread sticks with a freaking spicy Nduja salami paste. Why so tasty?!
Thanks to the unbelievable downpour that hit Sydney, I couldn't resist ordering the Stracciatella, a soul warming Roman chicken broth with cheese ravioli ($22). The brilliant staff knew the boy and I were sharing this and were lovely enough to split it into 2 bowls for us <3 Just as well too because I think I wouldn't have shared because it was so tasty!
I've been stalking justlikenonna and colepiper over Twitter and IG and knew I had to get the risotto which changes every coupla weeks. The flavour of the week was the incredible pecorino with a drizzle of 25 year old balsamic vinegar ($30) over perfectly cooked risotto that had the right amount of bite and creaminess in it.
Noods cannot resist the Linguini alle vongole ($30) with garlic, chili and parsley as he has a weak spot for all in the clam kingdom and clears the plate in record time.
The antipasti plate looks like all kinds of deliciousness and ha, I just made risotto on the weekend. And how sweet that they preemptively split the soup into two bowls for you :)— Helen (grabyourfork) Jun 18, 01:48 AM #

text: Apple relaxes app development rules Technology 09 September 10 by Duncan Geere CC-licensed: Cristiano Betta Apple, in response to complaints from developers, has opened up its App Store reviews process, just a little. The company has promised to permit third-party development tools after banning them earlier this year, and has promised to publish review guidelines, so that developers know whether they'll meet the requirements before they submit.In April, Apple changed the license for its software development kit to ban development tools which were used to port apps built in Flash, Silverlight, Java and other languages over to the iPhone. The move kicked up an almighty fight between Apple and Adobe, and led to Apple CEO Steve Jobs writing an open letter which tore into Flash.Jobs wrote: "We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform."Apple's latest statement backs down from that position, saying: "In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need."In addition, the company has bowed to pressure to publish the exact guidelines that its staff use to decide whether or not a particular application can be approved to the App Store. Developers have long complained that the process was too opaque, and that apps were being rejected without much detail on why."We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store," said the company in a press release.Update: John Gruber at Daring Fireball has got his hands on the guidelines, and they're remarkable. They sound like they were dictated straight out of Jobs' mouth. One says: "We have over 250,000 apps in the App Store. We don't need any more Fart apps." Check out the full list at the bottom of this link. Comments To tell you the truth, I don't care anymore what apple does. Apple broke my heart as a designer- Developer. Therefore, I have become an loyal Android Developer and as that I will remain. Anyway, Apple its lying. The real story is this one " analysts say competition from Google's (NMS:GOOG) Android mobile operating system — and concerns about greater antitrust scrutiny and Apple's reputation taken a hit— also played a role in Apple relenting".

Key Quotes:
"Most traded in ranges no wider than 30 pips over this 24 hours".
"Nevertheless, the dollar continues to stand victorious, at least in the short term, having recovered ground against most of its rivals".
"Stocks edged slightly higher, both in Europe and the US, as no news from the Mid East hit the wires. As for the EUR/USD, the par lost the 1.3400 level, but held above 1.3370 immediate support, entering Asian session with the hourly chart showing price below 20 SMA and indicators below their midlines, for the most flat".
"In the 4 hours chart however, price is finding intraday support at its 20 SMA currently around 1.3375, while indicators aim slightly higher above their midlines: a clear acceleration below 1.3370 is required to confirm some downward momentum, whilst the upside remains capped by 1.3430/40 price zone".
"Support levels: 1.3370 1.3330 1.3295".
"Resistance levels: 1.3450 1.3475 1.3500"

Farscape or Babylon 5?

Yeah the "head bones" on the Minbari are actually two separate ridges that grow out and back from the temples and fuse where they meet in the middle. The "bone" itself is not actual bone but more like horn or antler and through binding and carving can be shaped into specific styles. This is why religious caste Minbari (and especially females) have a more ornate, smooth look while those of the warrior caste have a more rugged (and probably more natural) rough hewn style. It also grows more with age, hence Lennier's looking the way it does. If you look back it actually grows over the course of the show.
I always thought the female Minbari had a rounded crested look while the males were all rougher and spiked.

text: Full Size Knight Statues from Medieval CollectablesThese medieval knights are full sized statues that are as tall as a human or bigger. Full sized medieval knights are perfect for the entrance to your home, hallway or office. They will not rust like your normal steel armour knights because this medieval knight is made of cast resin. The knight's armour is highly detailed showing flutes in the armour and intricate designs. The medieval knights are holding a weapon of choice in one hand in front of him, while standing on a rock ledge or wooden base.

"I like the homegrown product, I just do. I feel comfortable with it. And maybe somewhere in free agency or via some trades, we may have missed somewhere along the line, but I just felt I just like the players here. That's where I've gone. I not saying that we're not going to ever draft a foreign player or sign one, but it hasn't been at the top of our priority list."
