The world's best city rivalries: why travellers reap the benefits
Posted on Mon, 14 Dec 2015

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.
Of course, there are times (like in the wide open spaces of the outback) when travelling in our own custom-built all-terrain vehicle is the most practical and flexible option. Depending on which trip you're on while in Australia, you may find yourself travelling by:
Travelling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavour to provide travellers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.

Best time to visit Australia
Being such a large place, Australia has a wide range of climates so all year round there is somewhere great to visit.
Summer (December to February) can get very hot, but is perfect for beach-going and other outdoors activities. In the far north it is also the wet season, which can get quite humid and some beaches may be closed due to jellyfish or 'stingers'.
Winter (June to August) is pleasant and dry in the north but can get quite cold in the south, especially in Tasmania and Victoria where snowfall is common.
Spring and autumn are great times to visit Australia as the weather is milder, but still warm enough for swimming in northern areas.
Regardless of daytime temperatures, nights can get very cold in the desert areas of Central and Western Australia, so prepare accordingly.
The main school holiday period is from Christmas to late January, and is considered the peak travel time within Australia; expect popular tourist spots to be crowded during this time.
Culture and customs
Despite the differences, there are many things that unify the people of Australia. Sports, in particular cricket, soccer and football (Australian Rules) are played and watched by the masses, irrespective of age, race, gender or income. Large sporting events like the AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup Day and the Boxing Day Cricket Test have universal appeal for Australians.
Australians relish public holidays, with national and state holidays offering locals time to relax with friends and family over a barbecue or picnic. Making use of Australia's natural environment is also paramount during this time, with outdoor activities like bushwalking, swimming at the beach or lazing in the park popular with locals.
Eating and drinking
Intrepid believes that one of the best ways of experiencing a country is by eating! Whether you're sampling street food, savouring a cheap eat or indulging in a banquet, there are endless options to choose from wherever you are in the world.
Australia is a land that has been built by immigrants and these multicultural influences are evident in the wide array of food available. In the cities it's possible to find world-class Vietnamese, Turkish, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Indian restaurants, as well as excellent gastro-pub fare. Head to the outback and you'll find authentic 'bush tucker', simple campfire meals and sizzling barbecues.
Things to try in Australia
1. Fresh Seafood
With such an impressive coastline, it's no wonder fresh oysters, prawns, mussels and 'balmain bugs' are devoured by locals and savoured by visitors. For those on a budget, there's nothing wrong with eating fish and chips on the beach.
2. Wine
Australia creates some of the best wines in the world at South Australia's Barossa Valley, Western Australia's Margaret River and New South Wales' Hunter Valley. Don't miss the chance to taste some.
3. Beer
Whether you're downing a can of VB in Victoria or sipping micro-brewed ale in Sydney, sharing a beer with mates is a social experience not to be missed when in Australia
4. Hot Pies
An Australian classic – savoury meat pies (or vegetable pies for the vegetarians) are best eaten with tomato sauce, and are easily found served in city cafes, country bakeries and football matches around Australia.
Geography and environment
Despite Australia's large landmass, most people tend to live in urban, coastal cities. Faster-paced cities like Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne hold much of the population, as do regional satellite cities such as Albury, Dubbo, Bunbury, Townsville, Newcastle and Geelong.
Outback towns have a unique flavour and a distinct way-of-life; things are slower here and due to smaller populations, space is plentiful with most locals relying on agriculture for a living. Venturing away from the city to visit the outback and rural areas of Australia is highly recommended as it gives travellers the chance to see a different side to Australia.
History and government
Early History
The land now known as Australia was inhabited by an indigenous population for thousands of years before white settlement and colonisation. Aboriginal tribes lived an independent lifestyle with the land providing all that was needed for survival; hunting, fishing and the gathering of berries and other edible plants provided sustenance for people. Tribes were largely nomadic – this allowed them to move around to find game and water and enable the land to regenerate in their absence. Tribal groups had different customs, rituals, music and language dialects, although the concept of 'Dreamtime' is a common theme in aboriginal culture and spirituality.
Rock paintings, middens (shell heaps) and other archaeological sites give us clues to ancient dreamtime stories, daily life, rituals and even the arrival of the white man. Central and Western Australia are particularly rich in ancient rock art and paintings, with some sites open to the public for viewing.
Recent History
Naval explorer Captain James Cook set foot on Australian soil in 1770, claiming the eastern coastline as British Territory. Australia was soon seen as a solution to overcrowding in British prisons and a way to expand the reach of the British Empire.
In 1788, 11 ships arrived from Great Britain carrying convicts, marines and settlers. The arrival of white settlers changed the face of Australia almost instantly. Much of the indigenous population fell victim to starvation and disease, with foreign diseases like small pox and loss of land devastating the aboriginal population. Colonisation soon expanded throughout Australia, with separate colonies being set up in Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria. Thousands of convicts and settlers arrived to populate the new colonies, essentially giving birth to modern Australia. Convict life was hard, with long days spent toiling in a harsh environment with the unforgiving climate making life difficult. Brutal physical punishment, public hangings and death from disease and malnutrition were commonplace. The free settlers also suffered, as limited access to healthcare and fresh produce created medical problems and malnutrition.
In the 1850s, Australia experienced a new wave of immigration due to the Gold Rush. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from China, Britain, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Germany and France flocked to the Victorian goldfields to find their fortunes in the gold frenzy. This new wave of multiculturalism would be the first of many for Australia.
In 1901, the separate colonies united to form the Federation of Australia, meaning the nation was then governed under one constitution. Sir Edmund Barton became Australia's first Prime Minister, governing the Commonwealth of Australia until 1903 when he stepped down to become a judge of Australia's first High Court. A little more than a decade later, World War I was declared. Australia's participation in World War I gave birth to the Anzac legend – the spirit of mateship, courage and honour that embodies the Australian way of life. Later on, Australia also participated in World War II, as well as the Korean War, Vietnam War and other conflicts and peacekeeping missions.
More recently, Australia has prospered with a strong economy based on tourism, agriculture and the export of resources and minerals like coal, iron and gold.
Top Picks
Top 10 Places To See in Australia
1. Uluru
Nothing will prepare you for seeing Australia's most famous landmark for the first time. An important part of Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, this ancient monolith is a photographer's dream as it changes colours with the sun; from dazzling orange to dusty purple.
2. Great Barrier Reef
See the world's largest reef system - so big it can be seen from outer space! This World Heritage site, just off the coast of Queensland, is home to whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks, colourful coral and more than 1,500 species of fish. Go scuba diving or snorkelling to explore this incredible underwater world.
3. Twelve Apostles
Although there's actually only eight 'Apostles', these spectacular limestone rock stacks are a popular tourist spot along Victoria's Great Ocean Road. Formed by erosion that began 10-20 million years ago, the stacks rise majestically from the churning Southern Ocean. Hit the boardwalks, tracks and viewing areas for spectacular views.
4. Kakadu National Park
This region is a place of breathtaking beauty and incredible biodiversity. Steeped in Dreamtime history, Kakadu nurtures a staggering variety of landscapes and wildlife. Venture deep into the wilderness and discover gushing waterfalls, deep gorges, shimmering waterholes and rocky outcrops adorned with 20,000-year-old art.
5. Sydney Opera House
Set against a backdrop of that famous bridge which spans the sparkling harbour, the Opera House is one of Australia's most iconic sights. Those familiar sails, adorned with more than a million white tiles, host thousands of events and performances each year. Catch a show to admire the ornate interior, or take in the spectacular view from a ferry.
6. Kimberley
From deep gorges and dusty outback roads, and lush rainforests to idyllic billabongs, the landscape of this beautiful region is truly enchanting. A trip to the Kimberly can be as active or relaxing as you wish - hike past the strange 'beehive' domes of the Bungle Bungle Ranges, explore underground caves at Tunnel Creek or simply relax on white sand beaches.
7. Daintree
With verdant tropical rainforest stretching to white, sandy beaches, the Daintree is nothing short of spectacular. This complex ecosystem in Far North Queensland is home to a prolific amount of wildlife including frogs, reptiles, bats and butterflies, as well as the highest concentration of primitive plants species in the world. Australia's largest rainforest is a true natural wonder just waiting to be explored.
8. Wineglass Bay
With its white sand, crystal-clear water and distinct crescent shape, Wineglass Bay on Tasmania's gorgeous Freycinet Peninsula is a pristine paradise. It's easy to see why it's often voted as one of the top 10 beaches in the world! Hike a trail to the summit overlooking the bay for breathtaking views, or descend to the beach and set up camp. Go snorkelling to discover colourful fish and perhaps some playful dolphins.
9. Clare Valley
This beautiful wine-producing region is famed for its delicious local produce, picturesque scenery, friendly people and, of course, its fabulous wine. Explore back roads lined with vines and go wine-tasting to sample the very best drops this region has to offer.
10. Blue Mountains
Covering over one million hectares, the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains is rich in verdant rainforest, dramatic waterfalls, looming forests and an abundance of wildlife. Greet the iconic Three Sisters and wander the boardwalks to soak up this breathtaking area of Australian bush.
From large malls and boutique shopping strips to weekend arts and crafts markets and vintage shops, Australia is a top place to shop. Shopping in Australia may not be cheap, but there are plenty of unique finds and original souvenirs to bring home.
Before heading home, check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to import certain items back into your home country. New Zealand, for example, has strict quarantine laws.
Things to buy in Australia
1. Indigenous Art
The quality of Aboriginal art is excellent in the Top End and Central and Western Australia. Be sure to buy from reputable galleries and organisations to ensure authenticity and fair prices for artists. Community-run organisations are typically the better choice.
2. Opals
If you're looking for one, Coober Pedy has the best quality and variety on offer.
3. Pearls
These precious gems are plentiful in Broome due to the booming pearling industry.
4. Modern Art
Melbourne and Hobart are modern art and craft hot spots, making them great places to pick up one-of-a-kind mementos.
Festivals and Events in Australia
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
This festival reaches a colourful crescendo with a dazzling street parade full of camp icons, vibrant costumes and energetic dancing.
Darwin Beer Can Regatta
Only in Australia can you find an annual regatta full of boats made of beer cans! Darwin's Mindil Beach comes alive each year with music, beer can boat racing and thong-throwing contests (flip-flop for you non-Australians) – an event unique to the 'Top End'.
AFL Grand Final
Anxiously anticipated by many – the Australian Rules Football Grand Final is a great time to be in Melbourne. Tickets are notoriously scarce but pubs, clubs and backyards overflow with people watching the 'Big Game' and celebrating (or commiserating) afterwards.

fit From left, physical activity workers Jade Crompton and Joanne Mangall, dietician Chris Greaves and advisor Jill Harrison
Charlotte Dobson, health reporter / / News
TACKLING childhood obesity is top of the agenda for health bosses across Bolton.
Just last week a government study revealed an 11-year-old Bolton girl who weighs almost 23 stone was among the heaviest children measured in the country.
Figures released in April showed that more than one in five schoolchildren in Bolton — 21.2 per cent of Year 6 children — are obese.
This meant that Bolton had one of the highest childhood obesity rates in the country as England's obesity rate stands at 19 per cent.
Now new figures show that the average among Year 6 pupils has dropped to 20.7 per cent and it is thanks to preventative initiatives and projects that these figures are decreasing.
But what daily challenges do these children face and what is being done to help them?
Chris Greaves is a paediatric dietician and works on the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust's Children's Healthy Weight team.
He says the key to improving children's health is about positive activities and education.
Mr Greaves said: "There are so many challenges for these youngsters. Some of them come to us and say they are the fattest person their friends know and that's a horrible thing for a young person to feel.
Promoted stories
"When they first come to see us they initially chat about what they have to eat. The most important thing is to make them feel comfortable.
"Often the problem is down to their environment and to be honest, it is surprising that more of us are not overweight.
"Most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle and as human animals we are meant to roam for eight-to-10 miles a day.
"One third of 11-year-olds are overweight and it's surprising more are not. The problem is that the food available to kids is so calorie high. A lot of them don't realise that a McDonald's meal contains more than 1,000 calories.
"But you can't always blame it on the parents. For example in more deprived areas such as Farnworth, around 50 per cent of people are overweight and that is just considered as normal. Plus it is a very difficult issue for people to talk about, even parents, because it is so sensitive and that's part of the problem.
"It is even difficult for health professionals approach the subject.
"And there's the issue of advertising and how these calorie high products are portrayed, such a Lucozade. Even the Olympics was sponsored by McDonald's and Coca Cola."
The Children's Healthy Weight team sees youngsters on a voluntary basis and run a 12-week programme in Farnworth where children attend two sessions a week.
Half of the sessions are spent learning about nutrition and food groups and the second hour is spent doing physical activity.
"Our project is about motivation and improving confidence," added Chris.
"It's my job to get kids passionate about being healthy, not saying you should eat less. It's amazing to see the transformation of some of the kids when they get their confidence back."
Mum Tracy Wills took her daughter Sophie-Leigh Jones Wills to see the Healthy Weight Team when she was concerned about her daughter's appetite.
Tracy, aged 36, of Breightmet, said: "I initially took Sophie-Leigh to the GP because I thought she might have diabetes. She has always drunk excessively and I was just concerned. That's how we found out about the Healthy Weight Team.
"I'd never introduced her to chocolate and it wasn't the type of food she ate, more the amount she ate. It was like she could never accept she was full up. It was difficult also because Sophie-Leigh is so active. What I needed was the support and I just thought this can't go on.
"The Healthy Weight Team were fantastic and we both went on the course. They make it really fun for the children, even when describing all the different food groups.
"It's not about how big or thin the children are, it's about learning how to be healthy and active and I think the government should focus more on that. Sophie-Leigh loved it too and I think now she has a much better understanding of what to eat within her diet."
Sophie Leigh, who will be going into Year 6 at St Osmunds RC Primary School in September, said: "I really liked the cooking sessions and the dancing, boxing and swimming. I really liked the teachers too."

I can't open pdf files on the net anymore after installing Reader XI. I uninstalled it, rebooted, etc., to no avail.
Something may have gotten corrupted on your system. I would unintall Reader, then use the Reader Cleanup Tool (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrob...) and install it again. If that does not help, you can try to modify the settings in Reader's Preferences>Internet category. Try e.g. to turn off all three settings and see if that makes Reader work again. If that works, turn one on at a time and retry.

in response to PeterNityoI can't answer everything but I can give you some experience that I have that might shed some light on your concern. My iPhone does allow me to manage multiple email accounts. I don't understand the different email accounts available but the iPhone does allow me to check internet based email accounts such as hotmail and yahoo. In turn, I use Outlook 2003 to access these email accounts for emails that are too large to read. What I like about the iPhone, is that there is a setting called PUSH that allows emails to be pushed immediately to your phone as if it was a text message. I am not sure if this is an iPhone feature or an email server feature. I also notice that once Outlook sends/receives, the emails that are on my phone get removed whether they are read or unread and then placed onto my computer with Outlook.
Jon Markle Mar 28, 2010 9:45 AM
in response to PeterNityoShort answer: Yes. Without any problem.
You can set up any e-mail account you wish, separate from the others. I have 24 different accounts on my iPhone, from hotmail, yahoo (including ymail and rocketmail), gmail, .mac, and bellsouth. You can send and/or reply to any e-mail using whichever account you wish. Very user friendly.
dvscrobe Mar 28, 2010 9:56 AM
in response to Jon MarkleJon, do you have a simple answer for me on the Push feature? I'm steering the thread away a little but I think you completed it. I have an ATT.net account. Under selections, "Fetch New Data" "Advanced" "email account name" there are three selections provided, "Push" "Fetch" "Manual." I noticed that when I set up an ATT.net sub account for my daughter's iTouch, the "Push" feature was missing.
Jon Markle Mar 28, 2010 10:44 AM
in response to dvscrobeNot sure I understand your question completely.
On my iPhone, my primary .mac account is set to push. My secondary .mac account (alias) only has the option for "fetch".
All of my Bellsouth/att accounts, sub accounts have the option of either 'Push", "fetch" or "manual". I am not familiar with the iTouch, there may be something different in the settings for that device.
dvscrobe Mar 28, 2010 10:46 AM
in response to Jon MarkleThanks for checking Jon, someone on this forum did have a problem with the Push feature missing. I am sure it applies to the iTouch as well.

in response to dvscrobeSome providers do not offer the option, so it does not appear in the settings. I don't know which ones. But, it seems to me, off the top of my head, to do with sub-accounts in some cases, and whether or not it's IMAP capable, webmail based, or POP.
Here's what I see on my iPhone:
Fetch/manual only: Gmail, .mac sub-account, clear.net (which uses gmail).
Fetch/push/manual: bellsouth.net (including sub-accounts); yahoo mail (including ymail and rocketmail); .mac primary account;
AOL has no options for PUSH/FETCH.
So, my best guess is that this option "fetch/push/manual" is driven by the ISP, rather than the iPhone.

in response to Jon MarkleHas anyone found a solution (is there an app out there) that seperates your email accounts on your iphone screen. I know when i receive an email in mail, but i dont know when i have received a new email in my other accounts. its a pain to have to check it on my own to see if i have new ones and to go 3 clicks into my account. i hope there is a solution, because i am starting to question leaving my blackberry!
Jon Markle Apr 5, 2010 10:06 AM
in response to WAXPAPERONLINEI'm no expert. Just a user.
If I understand your question, you have several accounts: one .mac account and three other IMAP accounts from other services, not associated with .MAC?
My iPhone keeps all accounts separate. I don't think it can be set up any other way right now. How do you have your settings configured on the iPhone for each account?
I may not understand your question . . .

Bizarre Clip In Bonnie Kate Rescue Cell Footage From Aurora Theater Century 16
- Uploaded by Extraett on Aug 22, 2012
- Views: 1265
This is kind of a weird sequence. First there's this weird edit on the tape, (was like that when I got it) These guys are sitting there talking to this cop. The conversation cuts in to the end of a convo they are having, sharing first reactions, "They set this up" "It was planned" "Psychological Warfare" Then somebody says "Thats what they were trying to make the impression I was doing, that whack man" That indicates to me that he was responding to something said just previously, that wasn't recorded. Really would have been interesting to see that part of the footage that was never recorded.

There was a long thread on Quinn - its moot now. He's traded to the Broncos for a backup FB, a 2011 6th rounder, and a conditional 2012 draft choice. Oh how the mighty have fallen (btw I would have preferred him to Feeley).

There was a long thread on Quinn - its moot now. He's traded to the Broncos for a backup FB, a 2011 6th rounder, and a conditional 2012 draft choice. Oh how the mighty have fallen (btw I would have preferred him to Feeley).
All depend on what is the 2012 pick, but right now what a steal by the Broncos.
Poor Browns.
Why are we overrating Quinn so badly here? If he was the QB of the future, it's the post-apocalyptic future where the Rams are the only NFL team left, careening through the ruins of Middle America in a beaten up Winnebago and a refurbished M-2 Bradley.
AJ Feeley had like 5 good games as an Eagle 5 freaking years ago. Can we stop making excuses for crappy signings?
If you want to talk about passing on a QB, AJ Feeley was sitting on his couch while 150 players were picked before him 5th ROUND. If you recall, the Eagles passed on him - TWICE. Then the Dolphins picked him up (and they had NO QB at the time). I'll give you one guess what they did - they PASSED ON HIM.
Recurring theme here - after the Dolphins passed, the Chargers picked him up. He was 3rd string, and I'll let you guess again what happened. He was cut, because he is terrible, and the Chargers - you guessed it - PASSED ON HIM.
So, recent history - AJ Feeley threw 7 picks in two games last year. CLEARLY, he is a physical specimen and Quinn just can't compare.
Look at this from a 3rd party perspective and not from a "anything Rams do I will blindly support" perspective. AJ Feeley signing makes the Rams look like idiots if we plan on starting him, and with that kind of money we may well be.
Broncos got one helluva deal. Yeesh. Quinn has not been able to highlight his talent, is paid less than AJ 3rd string Feeley, and other teams are making plays for him. We didn't. But make your case for AJ Feeley over Quinn - so far it has been "Quinn was sitting in the green room and got put out of his misery". Lets compare apples to apples - recent performance, contract, upside, and so forth. Quinn wins, hands down.
Still, if McDaniels could help turn Cassel into a star in New England, maybe he can make Quinn serviceable at the NFL level. He'll certainly have more talent to work with in Denver.
It's been funny how people bash the thought of signing Quinn with the idea that he's the second-coming. No one said give up a first for him BUT the question is whether we would get more value out of a 6th for NEXT year plus a low pick for the year AFTER. The comparison is not that he's some great hero, but whether you would rather have Feeley on your squad at $3M per with no draft choices given up; or Quinn on your squad for $700K and one very low round pick two and three years from now (ie, what have the Rams gotten out of their 6th and 7th round picks?).
You know that Feeley is a less than ordinary career backup (btw Quinn has more starts than Feeley!); while Quinn is a young QB who has not performed well, but COULD still have some upside.
While I don't love Quinn, I like him better than Feeley, especially at that price.
Is there a chance that Quinn can make some miraculous turnaround in Denver? Sure there's a chance, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

Best Sports Moment (2006)
Mavericks Win Game 7 in San Antonio
It's like picking our favorite child. Or choosing just one Basia ballad to squeeze onto the iPod. Dallas Desperados quarterback Clint Dolezel threw 11 touchdowns in one game. Area teams swept the Class 5A, 4A and 3A boys' high school basketball championships in Austin. And the Dallas Cup soccer tournament hosted a spunky team from war-torn Iraq. But nothing made us feel more alive--like we'd arrived--than the Mavs' 119-111 overtime victory over the hated Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals last May 22. The Mavs advanced to the Finals and got within 6:30 of a 3-0 lead over the Miami Heat, but there wasn't a bigger combo of relief/joy than eliminating the Spurs. It started with Dirk Nowitzki's gutsy drive to the basket and three-point play in the last minute of regulation. We were all Dallas in Wonderland. Our star had matured. Our team had finally conquered its nemesis. This just had to be our year. And then, with an assist from Mayor Laura Miller's premature plans for a parade, the biggest collapse since Bob Dole ran out of Viagra.

Had the same problem, come to find out ATT has changed their email setting again...
"Note: AT&T's POP/SMTP settings have recently changed to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net. However, if you are using the old settings, they will continue to work."
Work until this week I guess...
Here is the link and the new settings:
- Email > Top Solutions > Email server settings (POP and SMTP)
Email server settings (POP and SMTP)
The following mail server settings will work with all AT&T email domains: @ameritech.net, @att.net, @bellsouth.net, @flash.net, @nvbell.net, @pacbell.net, @prodigy.net, @sbcglobal.net, @snet.net, @swbell.net, @wans.net.
Email Program Settings Field: Enter: Incoming (POP) inbound.att.net Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server: POP3 Incoming/Outgoing User Name: Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., email@example.com, email@example.com) Incoming mail port #: 995, secure connection (SSL) checked Outgoing mail port # 465, secure connection (SSL) checked
Note: When updating the secure server settings, check the SSL check box first and then update the port number if necessary.

I had the same problem with Entourage 2008 on my black MacBook. Updating my sbcglobal.net accounts to the new inbound/outbound att.net settings fixed the "correct root certificate is not installed" problem. I spent way too much time researching this; just unbelievable that att never contacted its customers with this change.

Russ G Jan 20, 2012 1:18 PM
in response to Kevin Bean
I had the same problem, intermittently anyway. In speaking with an AT&T rep I learned that the problem may go away if you use your browser to log into your mail account periodically. If you don't log in that way then after a period of time you will be given one of those jumbled passwords on your monitor that you have to type into a text field in order to proceed. Since this cannot be done with Entourage, that's where the glitch may originate: Entourage receives the query to type in the password jumble and chokes on it because it isn't a web browser. The fact that you get one of these text jumbles when using your borwser indicates it's been a long time since you logged in with your browser. Try logging in that way and see if the problem goes away.
BTW, I tried changing my server settings as indicated in the post by iChop (above) but it didn't help. I also confirmed with the AT&T rep that the previous settings I had were correct pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com. HTH.

Hello iChop,
Thank you very much for your reply to Kevin Bean -- that answer was just what I needed! Changing the old POP and SMTP from names with Yahoo in them to inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net immediately fixed my difficulty in Entourage. (aside: looks like AT&T is dumping Yahoo too.)
They should change your rating from 'Helpful Answer" to "Correct Answer"

I'm trying to convert custom values to tax and I have problem with that.
some values are transfered completely(or it seems like), in some cases it does it only for one custom val. and in some cases it moves anything. :(
Don't know if the problem can be a special sign like ' " | and numbers as well. if you like I can send you the access to a test page so you can try it your self. I just figured out it wont work, if there is a number such as "Sikora Erik, 2046" but I don't know if this is the case or if something causes the problem before it reaches this custom field.
wp 3.0.1.
(btw. it always says after the "go" > "A name is required for this term" but it works as I mentioned)

We begin with a three-alarm fire, first from the New York Times:
Unprecedented Level of Human Harm to Sea Life Is Forecast
A team of scientists, in a groundbreaking analysis of data from hundreds of sources, has concluded that humans are on the verge of committing unprecedented damage to the oceans and the animals living in them.
"We may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event," said Douglas J. McCauley, an ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a co-author of the new research, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science.
But there is still time to avert catastrophe, Dr. McCauley and his colleagues also found. Compared with the continents, the oceans are mostly intact, still wild enough to bounce back to ecological health.
Next, via the Washington Post:
Scientists: Human activity has pushed Earth beyond four of nine 'planetary boundaries'
At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a "safe operating space" for human beings. That is the conclusion of a new paper published Thursday in the journal Science by 18 researchers trying to gauge the breaking points in the natural world.
The paper contends that we have already crossed four "planetary boundaries." They include the extinction rate; deforestation; the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and the flow of nitrogen and phosphorous (used on land as fertilizer) into the ocean.
"What the science has shown is that human activities — economic growth, technology, consumption – are destabilizing the global environment," said Will Steffen, who holds appointments at the Australian National University and the Stockholm Resilience Center and is the lead author of the paper.
And this from the Guardian:
Rate of environmental degradation puts life on Earth at risk, say scientists
- Humans are 'eating away at our own life support systems' at a rate unseen in the past 10,000 years, two new research papers say
They found that the changes of the last 60 years are unprecedented in the previous 10,000 years, a period in which the world has had a relatively stable climate and human civilisation has advanced significantly.
Carbon dioxide levels, at 395.5 parts per million, are at historic highs, while loss of biosphere integrity is resulting in species becoming extinct at a rate more than 100 times faster than the previous norm.
Since 1950 urban populations have increased seven-fold, primary energy use has soared by a factor of five, while the amount of fertiliser used is now eight times higher. The amount of nitrogen entering the oceans has quadrupled.
All of these changes are shifting Earth into a "new state" that is becoming less hospitable to human life, researchers said.
From the report:
The Pope draws a conclusion, via Reuters:
Pope says climate change mostly man's fault
Pope Francis said on Thursday he believed that man was primarily responsible for climate change and that he hoped this year's Paris conference would take a courageous stand to protect the environment.
The Pope said his long-awaited encyclical on the environment was almost finished and that he hoped it would be published in June, ahead of the U.N. climate meeting in Paris in November.
Speaking to reporters on the plane taking him from Sri Lanka to Manila, he was asked specifically if man was mostly to blame for climate change.
"I don't know if it is all (man's fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature," he said.
Next, some good newws [?] from the London Telegraph:
Haggis is the cure for American obesity epidemic, say peers
- President Obama urged to drop ban on sale of haggis in the US
The United States should lift its ban on the import of haggis in an attempt to tackle the country's obesity crisis, a leading medic has said.
Lord McColl of Dulwich, a retired professor of surgery, said American Scots were being deprived of the "wholesome" food and as a result dying of obesity.
Lord Winston, a leading fertility doctor and television presenter, told the Lords that haggis was "revolting" but if it could be used to curb obesity it should be promoted in Glasgow.
And what constitutes Groundskeeper Willie's favorite dish? From Wikipedia:
Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach.
On to outbreaks, first with Jiji Press:
Bird Flu Outbreak Confirmed in Okayama Pref.
An outbreak of highly pathogenic bird flu has been confirmed in the western Japan prefecture of Okayama, prefectural government officials said Thursday.
Chickens that died at a poultry farm in the city of Kasaoka tested positive for H5 subtype avian flu virus in a genetic test, the officials said.
This was the fourth case of highly pathogenic bird flu in Japan this winter, following two in the southwestern prefecture of Miyazaki and one in the western prefecture of Yamaguchi last month.

6 more California measles cases tied to Disney outbreak
California health officials confirmed that six new measles cases are connected to an outbreak at Disney theme parks last month, bringing the total number of illnesses to 32.
The new cases include five in Los Angeles County and one in San Diego County. Craig Sturak with the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency said Thursday that the latest case in his area posed no threat of public exposure.
Officials were working to confirm additional possible cases in San Diego County after several people showed up to an urgent care clinic with measles symptoms. Sharp HealthCare spokesman Curtis Ippolito says the La Mesa clinic closed after patients arrived Wednesday morning with fevers and rashes. He declined to say how many people were involved or whether they were related.

Cholera outbreak kills 20 in oil rich Rivers State of Nigeria
The outbreak of Cholera in 11 communities in the oil rich Rivers State in south-eastern Nigeria has claimed 20 lives, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Sampson Parker, has confirmed.
Parker told journalists in Port Harcourt on Wednesday after visiting the affected communities in Andoni Local Government Area that the outbreak was reported on January 5.
"So far, 171 cases have been recorded with 20 deaths in the outbreak which was reported on January 5. The Local Government Area Rapid Response Team with State Emergency Response Team, have responded swiftly," he said.

Rwanda faults imported bed nets for surge in malaria infections
For a country that has been acclaimed as a role model in the fight against malaria, Rwanda's story has now somewhat become worrying.
Malaria skyrocketed by over 30 percent to one million cases in 2013, while the most affected, Kirehe District, reported more than 40, 000 cases in December last year, up from 37,812 in November.
According to the Rwandan Minister of Health, Agnes Binagwaho, the worrying situation is being blamed on sham mosquito bed nets imported from Netprotect – a Danish firm.
After conducting investigations, the government is now awaiting approval from its Justice Ministry to drag Netprotect to court for providing nets that did not serve their purpose.
On to China and another epidemic, via People's Daily:
China reports over 100,000 new HIV/AIDS infections in 2014
China reported 104,000 new HIV/AIDS infections in 2014, up 14.8 percent from the previous year, the country's central health authority revealed on Thursday.
Wang Guoqiang, vice head of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, said that the overall rates of infection and number of HIV/AIDS cases have stayed at a low level.
China has provided anti-viral treatment for an additional 85,000 HIV/AIDS patients last year, an increase of 21.2 percent compared with 2013, Wang said at a national conference on disease control.
Wang said despite the low pandemic situation, the spread of the disease in certain areas is still high.

Race is on to save banana from fungus wilt
A global plan to fight Fusarium wilt, a fungus spreading from Asia to Africa and the Middle East, is needed to prevent the world's most popular banana variety from disappearing.
The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and 30 other organisations have estimated that a strategic global plan to contain the disease could cost US$47 million to implement.
The fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical Race 4, or TR4, is a destructive one that afflicted Asia for more than 20 years, affecting China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan, as well as northern Australia.
Its appearance in Mozambique in early 2013 raised the alarm of cross-continent spread, and sparked moves to devise the global plan, the main goals of which were discussed last month during a meeting in Rome where the FAO is based.

Chris Marrero, released by the Nationals earlier this fall, has found a new home just up the road: Baltimore.
The Orioles have signed the 25-year-old first baseman to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to Baseball America.
Marrero, the Nationals' highly touted first-round pick in the 2006 draft, was outrighted off the club's 40-man roster on October 24 after a disappointing eight seasons with the organization during which time he hit just .232 in 39 big-league games. He continued to be a productive offensive player at Class AAA, hitting a collective .281 with a .353 on-base percentage over parts of three seasons at Syracuse, though his power numbers (25 homers) remained a disappointment.
Whether Marrero can finally realize his potential in Baltimore remains to be seen. The Orioles obviously are set at first base with Chris Davis, who mashed a club-record 53 homers this year, but their designated hitters were woefully unproductive, hitting a collective .234 with a .289 on-base percentage.
Marrero will need to prove he can hit big-league pitching for average, but he'll also need to prove he can hit for power the way he was expected when the Nationals touted him as the organization's top prospect.

Well I have not had my mare tested to see if she is IR but I have heard its not a bad idea to feed them like they are either. She is a VERY easy keeper and was obese for quite some time before getting her back with me. She is now slowly getting back into shape and loosing weight but she still needs to loose more!
I board her at a barn. THe area we live in is pretty much not very horse friendly. Vets are non-existant pretty much....most people do their own shots and a small animal vet will come out to tube for mild colic anything serious we have to haul to UGA which I believe is a 3-5 hr drive if i'm not mistaken. We pretty much live in the woods. :( I'm realizing that if I am dealing with a IR horse that it could be hard to get her tested for it without hauling her (we don't own a trailer)
So I was wondering as a precautionairy measure to try to feed her as an IR horse to see what that would do? It can't hurt right? I have access to BP. Right now she is on a 6% fat feed..i don't know if it has a name or not the BO said she has her food specially made?? Its a pellet type with 6% fat that's all I know. I don't know how hard it will be to get her to let me switch food??

Janus Shares Fall on Margin Worries
(JNS - Get Report) fell 3% Thursday after UBS downgraded the stock. The setback came a day after the Denver-based asset manager reported some modest good news, saying assets under management rose 5% last month.But on Thursday, Janus shares slipped 56 cents to $16.21 after UBS analyst Glenn Schorr cut the stock to reduce from neutral, saying the stock price is "ahead of the fundamentals." Janus shares have risen some 23% off their Sept. 28 low. Schorr says he expects margin pressure to continue to hamper Janus. He says the scheduled December outflow of $1.9 billion by ING, to be followed by another $2.5 billion outflow in May, will weigh on the shares. ING startedJanus
withdrawing funds from Janus
this year after worries about the company's poor performance.
Schorr notes that Janus has made some strides to stabilize itself since last year's mutual fund scandal, but he says the company still has its work cut out for it. Janus has reported improving sales this year, but Schorr points out they remain below 2003 levels.
Late Wednesday, Janus said assets under management rose to $137.4 billion in November from $131.3 billion at the end of October. Janus said total net outflows, not including money markets, were approximately $151 million in November. Including money markets, total net inflows in November were $183 million -- a marked improvement for a firm that has struggled over the past year to retain investors after playing a high-profile role in the mutual fund scandal.
The company attributed the growth to strong fund performances by its $9 billion
(JAVLX) and $2.3 billion
(JSVAX) funds. Those funds are respectively up 17.6% and 19% this year. The firm's Intech unit, which uses a mathematical approach to investing in stocks, also showed strong results with inflows of $1.4 billion.

The Perils of Filming Police
Friday, June 15, 2012
It is not illegal to film police, but there have been several instances of citizens being arrested because the police didn't want to appear on camera. Bob talks to Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, who has been doing workshops with police around the country about the right to film police in the line of duty.

Comments [2]
Howdy, I just included the following on a related blog post made to CopBlock.org and wanted to share it here as feedback (http://www.copblock.org/17173/the-perils-filming-police):
Overall the episode communicated some great information, such as noting that police employees should welcome filming as it creates an objective record, but as with most news sources, the podcast was not without latent bias:
Host Bob Garfiled and guest Mickey Osterreicher framed interactions between humans through a lens that categorizes them as either an "officer" or "civilian." Such a distinctions denotes that differences exist, which only perpetuates a flawed reality that allows for the institutionalized violence and rights-violations that today exists from one perceived group toward another group. Here at Cop Block we know that badges don't grant extra rights.
By conflating the actions of some individuals to an entire geographical area - such as "Baltimore" doing this or that - it only reinforces the bad idea that certain people, based on their place of employment, can speak for others and it very literally shapes the conversation and absolves actors of personal responsibility. After all, it's not "Baltimore PD" that beats, maces or kills someone, but an individual, who is responsible for their actions. Language is important.
The most realistic alternative to accomplish the stated goals was completely overlooked. Though the "culture of policing" was rightly singled-out as being flawed, both the host and guest readily admit that transgressions of rights continue to occur. Despite legislation and other policy re-writes the double-standards still occur. And they occur since a distinction for those wearing badges is believed to exist.. Garfield and Osterreicher fail to take their views to their logical conclusion and advocate that policing, like any other good or service, could be better provided through consensual interactions.
I was preparing to comment on this story when it was announced Rodney King has passed. If anyone has ANY doubt why documenting the police, in the same way they do us, watch the video of his beating. Had it not been for a single brave citizen with a camera, none of us would have known that beating, and thousands of others, are regular police practice.
Camera light is the best disinfectant.

Stepping out to promote his new film "Prisoners" (in theaters now), Jake Gyllenhaal stopped by the set of "The Queen Latifah Show" on Friday (September 20).
Refusing to have a serious conversation with the talk show host, the 32-year-old actor sarcastically revealed how popular he thinks he is.
He's been busy promoting his new flick "Prisoners," due in theaters Friday (September 20), and yesterday (September 18) Jake Gyllenhaal showed up at ABC Studios in New York City.
The "Day After Tomorrow" hunk looked handsome in a grey suit with a black button-up top as he scurried out the studio door following his interview on "Good Morning America."
They've been all over the United States and Canada to promote their film, and on Thursday night (September 12), Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal premiered "Prisoners" in Beverly Hills.
Both hunky actors were dressed to the nines in suits as they obliged the waiting shutterbugs before heading inside the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
He's gearing up for the premiere of his upcoming flick "Prisoners" and during promotions, Jake Gyllenhaal covered VMAN magazine's 10th anniversery issue.
While rocking a few poses for the Hedi Slimane-shot spread, the "Donnie Darko" hunk chatted about his acting career and also revealed what kind of roles he really wants.
He's been a busy boy as of late, and Jake Gyllenhaal plugged his new movie "Enemy" at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday afternoon (September 8).
The "Brokeback Mountain" star attended the big premiere while sporting an understated-yet-dapper black suit with a powder blue shirt and black tie.
Filling the room's hunk quota, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman attended the press conference for "Prisoners" during the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday (September 7).
Posting his own snapshot of the two prior to the big premiere, the "Wolverine" star tweeted, "Not only a great actor but a great mate. #prisoners #jake #amazingtalent."
They're two of Hollywood's most handsome, and most successful actors: Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. And they were up in Canada Friday (September 6) for the premiere of their new film, "Prisoners," at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In a great mood for his appearance, Jake Gyllenhaal stopped by the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Tuesday (September 3).
The "End of Watch" star looked handsome in a black suit and matching tie as he waved to fans and photographers outside.

The year of affordable Android tablets has begun
It seems like forever ago when the only Android tablets on the market were the ones trying to compete with Apple's iPad line at the $499 price point and above. Fast forward to today and affordable Android tablets are fairly common, though not quite ubiquitous. Might that change this year? Well, we're off to a good start with Acer announcing two new Iconia slates starting at just $130.
Starting at the lower end, Acer's Iconia B1-720 is a 7-inch Android tablet aimed at new tablet owners and families looking for an additional slate for the kids. It has a thin design that houses a 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage flanked by a microSD card slot, built-in Wi-Fi, 10-point touch support, and Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. Acer says it will be available by the middle of this month for $130 MSRP.
If you have a few more pieces of eight to spend, Acer also announced the Iconia A1-830, a slightly larger tablet with a 7.9-inch IPS display and 1024x768 resolution. It measures just 0.32 inches (8.15mm) thin and weighs just 0.84 pounds, but wields an Intel Atom (Clover Trail+) Z2560 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. It also has 802.11n Wi-Fi, a rear-facing camera that captures 2560x1920 video, a front-facing camera with 1600x1200 capability, micro USB port, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD card slot, and Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. This will will go for $180 $149 when it becomes available later this quarter.
Acer sent Maximum PC an email letting us know of a last minute pricing change. The new price of the Iconia A1-830 is $149 instead of $180 as originally announced.

We just found out we are expecting #3 (EDD 1/15/12!) DH and I are super excited. We have 2 boys, (2yr old and 8 month old) already. Our oldest has special needs, CP, CVI, Epilepsy and he was born with his esophagus not connected to the stomach, got that corrected at 2.5months but still has to be VERY careful with what he eats because his esophagus is SO narrow.
ANYWAY. With #1 we weren't married and my parents are old fashioned and weren't super pleased. Then with #2 we had JUST gotten married and my parents were worried about #1 and were not super pleased. They are AMAZING grandparents once the babies are here but not excited or even happy when I have shared the news.
#1 gets therapy 4 days a week and will start "school" 2 days a week this fall at CCVI (Childrens Center for the Visually Impaired, our local center, its AMAZING). I am a SAHM and since I started that #1 has been making all sorts of progress, feeding himself, gaining weight, starting to finally ARMY CRAWL! He got a gait trainer (a medical walker) and has been walking in! Talking all the time, a YEAR with no seizures!
I'm rambling...
I am just so frustrated because I am going to tell my parents today about #3 and I know they are going to just lecture me, and ask a bunch of questions and probably not say congratulations. I get that they are my parents and they worry for me because they love me so much but it would be great to still get a little bit of joy. DH makes good money and we will be fine in that department, by the time #3 comes the older ones will be SO independent. I just wish for ONE out of THREE pregnancies I could tell my family and just receive smiles and hugs and joy!!!
Does anyone else have very involved, worry-some parents/inlaws? That even though you are an adult and don't ask them for help/money or ANYTHING still treat you like their teenager???
