Beyond Elevator Speeches! A Process for Influence
Abram, Stephen, Information Outlook
My airplane book this month is How to Have a Beautiful Mind by Edward de Bono (Vermillion). It's a great book. I don't know how I missed it when it came out in 2004 since I love to read de Bono. Anyway, it's about how to be interesting and how to chat with nearly everyone, how to debate, listen and disagree well--all things I can learn to do a lot better!
It has made me think about how to make libraries beautiful in the mind and interesting to people who matter.
At Internet Librarian in October, I had the opportunity to hear and introduce Joe Matthews, an old friend of SLA and author of a number of books on how to make the financial and value arguments for libraries and librarians. His latest book is, The Bottom Line: Determining and Communicating the Value of the Special Library (Libraries Unlimited, 2002). He told powerful stories of the impact of libraries. One memorable one was the six-figure bonus awarded to a special librarian for saving the company over $20 million.
We must talk about the result and less about the line-item budgeting. Without a doubt, nearly every innovation we try to make in libraries today involves some investment of dollars and time as well as commitments to riskier technologies and pilot projects. To achieve our technology and program goals we have to get folks at all levels on our side and excited. How?
Elevator Speeches: No Magic Beans
Over the past few years we have heard a lot about the special role of elevator speeches--those sound bites for when you have the ear of a key decision maker or influencer for a few floors. We're told to craft a few short stories or facts and install them in the heads of these folks. Then, magically, good things could happen. There are even many examples of where this strategy worked. I love this tactic, but let's remember that it's just a micro-skill and we can't leave our communication strategies up to chance encounters. Let's learn how to make our magical moments. What would be steps to move into deeper conversations with our decision makers and key influencers? There are two simple things we need to know first.
How do ideas grow?
Sometimes new ideas look like they arrive fully blown. They don't. People follow a very specific process whereby they come to accept new ideas. It's a simple five-step process. First, you need to have the awareness that some product, process, or concept exists. Advertising and PR help here.
Then, and don't neglect this step, people have to be interested in it. This isn't always the case. If you're not interested in reality TV, no amount of awareness activities will engage you in the next step, evaluation. This is your first major yes/no step. Will I invest any more energy to know more about this idea by researching or trying it? Would I even invest as little energy as typing the word into Google? Getting to trial moves your target audience of decision makers from evaluation to where they can make a decision about adoption. So, understand this short process: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, adoption.
When you ask someone with power to adopt your ideas--to invest time and effort in supporting, financing or discussing them--without filling in the first four steps, you're more likely to fail.
This process can happen very fast. For example, a new chocolate bar with an exciting flavor can get from awareness through adoption in seconds. I just discovered dark chocolate M & M's. Time from awareness to stomach: minutes! Now, suppose the new ideas are a suite of complex processes and technologies like Web 2.0 or Library 2.0 or intranet repositories. We'll see the market taking years to absorb and integrate the solutions promise here.
Second tip: Your idea needs to have five qualities to be more easily acceptable to the people you desire to invest their enterprise's energy and money in. Overall, the idea's benefits must be visible in some way. …

Multimodal User Interfaces
From Signals to Interaction
your country
Where multimodal signal processing meets multimodal human computer interaction...Signal Processing (SP) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), two very popular scientific areas, are brought together to provide solutions to a series of great challenges in the field of multimodal interfaces. Focus is on multimodal interfaces that respond efficiently to speech, gestures, vision, haptics and direct brain connections taking advantage of recent developments in both HCI and SP.
The book presents a common theoretical framework for fusion and fission of multimodal information using the most advanced signal processing algorithms constrained by HCI rules, described in detail and integrated in the context of a common distributed software platform for easy and efficient development and usability assessment of multimodal tools. The book also demonstrates the use of the multimodal framework for the development of a set of applications in the areas of edutainment, interfaces for disabled people and interfaces for medical applications.less

Almost one year since Spirit Aerosystems broke ground at the Global Transpark, progress on the new facility is on schedule to open by end of 2010.
The five hundred thousand square foot facility sits on 304 acres of land. It will be the anchor site for the Global Transpark, in Kinston.
Spirit will construct the center fuselage of the newest airbus 350 X-W-B. While the company promises to employ close to a thousand people once they've opened, they've already been a boost to the economy.
Spirit specializes in constructing the one of kind, airbus 350, which is a new family of mid-size wide body airlines that should roll out in 2013.

In the opener, Clark (18-8, 6-6) built an 8-1 advantage through five innings before Grays Harbor (4-21, 1-9) got to within 8-4. Clark added two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to seal the win.
Connor Perry went 3 for 4 with a double, triple and four RBI. Bud Collura also had three hits, and Jordan Entriken was 2 for 4 with a double and three RBI.
Clark had a four-run lead twice in the second game, but Grays Harbor scored five in the sixth inning to surge ahead 12-7 and get its first division win.
Nick Woods was 3 for 4 with a double and RBI, and Collura was 2 for 2 with a double and two RBI. Andy Breshears was 2 for 4 with two RBI.
Next for Clark is a four-game set with Green River. Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Kindsfather Field, and Sunday's twinbill is scheduled for Auburn.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
No One To Fight

"If you can't skate and play, you just stopped your team from having four lines," Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said Tuesday. The Wings, as a result, don't have a traditional enforcer. "The league's flying out there," Babcock said from Detroit. "And if you think you can play three lines, I think you're wrong. I myself could be wrong, but I don't think you can. I think your players all should be able to contribute." Are the Wings worried when they face a opposing team with an enforcer? Not really. Just ask Laraque, the NHL's most feared fighter. "Teams are discovering that if you don't have a fighter, it doesn't matter," said Laraque. "If you play a team with a fighter, even though your team doesn't have one, does it matter? What's he going to do? Who's he going to fight?..."read on

I love Sebo vacuums but Felix is better than X5

Highly recommend this vacuum
I've had this vac for several years and love it! I was tired of the utensils falling off my old vac and of the wands coming apart mid-use.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey -- 8 Big Differences Between The Book And Movie
By Katey Rich 2012-12-11 16:04:58 comments
Gandalf meets with The White Council.
Because the action in The Hobbit is entirely limited to what happens to Bilbo, we don't see anything he doesn't-- including this meeting between Gandalf, Galadriel, Saruman and Elrond, which Tolkien describes in the appendices. The scene is a chance to bring back familiar faces from Lord of the Rings, of course, but it also gives a little extra weight to the story, once again helping lead into the heavy drama of Lord of the Rings. This all happens while Bilbo and the dwarves are hunkered down in Rivedell, which in the book happens over several weeks, but seems to be just a day or two here.

Glory comes with a price
Bennett is about to be dragged through mud
Clay Bennett has a chance to be a hero. Has a chance to walk into the Ford Center in the not-too-distant future, 19,000 homefolks strong chanting his name and singing his praises. That sounds like the night of a lifetime and has to appeal to even a stoic like Bennett. But before that glory gets here, before Bennett and his buddies are grand marshals of a Welcome-the-Sonics parade down Reno Avenue, there's a price to pay. Bennett, the front man for the Oklahoma City businessmen who want to bring the NBA to their hometown, is about to be dragged through the mud in Seattle. And with all that rain, there's plenty of mud in Seattle. Bennett announced Friday that he filed relocation papers with the NBA to move the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City. Will the Sonics arrive next season or 2010? To be determined. But etch this in stone: Bennett is a dirty word in the Pacific Northwest. Here are a few things Bennett has been called in public since becoming the Sonic owner a year ago. "Duplicitous salesman. Truth-challenged. Artful Dodger. Thin-skinned. "In the spotlight as graceful as Britney Spears dancing on MTV." Ouch, ouch, ouch, double-ouch and hitting below the belt. And all that came from just one Seattle wordsmith, Steve Kelley of the Times. Sometimes, Bennett has company. The entire ownership group has been called robber barons, evil doers, fat-cat burglars, not-so-good ol' boys, Oklahoma City bullies, carpetbaggers, fat cats and suits from the South. Bennett says he's been surprised at the venom tossed his way, but he shouldn't be. This is what happens when cities are threatened with losing their ballteams. We can see that in Seattle's response the last couple of months. Seattle has gone on the attack, with the court case to keep the Sonics from arbitration over the KeyArena lease and constant and pointed remarks by city leaders that they will not stand idly by as the Sonics scoot out of town. This is going to get nasty, and the best thing is to remember it's nothing personal. Nothing personal against Bennett, nothing personal against Oklahoma City, which will be on the receiving end of plenty of snide remarks coming from LatteTown. This always happens when franchises move. Fifty years after Walter O'Malley moved the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, his name still angers New Yorkers. When O'Malley threatened to move, fans carried signs that said "O — Biggest Bum of Them All" and "O'Malley — Brooklyn's Hitler." The New York Times' Arthur Daley wrote that "the only word that fits the Dodgers is greed." Years later, Howard Golden, past borough president of Brooklyn, said, "People still equate what O'Malley did with the knife that struck on Pearl Harbor." History exonerated O'Malley. New York City politics squelched O'Malley's reasonable demands for permission to build a new ballpark in Brooklyn. New York politicos played chicken with the Dodgers and lost. The cities almost always lose. In Baltimore, Bob Irsay was vilified after taking the Colts to Indianapolis, but Baltimore eventually built a new stadium and swiped the Browns from Cleveland. Art Modell was vilified for moving those Browns, but Cleveland very soon built a new stadium for the new Browns. In Charlotte, George Shinn was Public Enemy No. 1, but soon after he took the Hornets to New Orleans, Charlotte put up a new building and got the expansion Bobcats. In Houston, Bud Adams was lampooned for moving the Oilers to Tennessee, but Houston quickly built a new stadium for the expansion Texans. Build now or lose your team and build later. That seems to be the options for a major-league city. Franchise owners possess a precious commodity, and like it or not, you have to play ball with them. And if you don't, you vilify them. Bennett and Co. will try to negotiate a quick exit from Seattle, and Seattle will in turn try to make Bennett look like a bad man. A very bad man. Hope he's got thick skin. Either that or the vision to see the day when he goes from villain to hero.

The gold one, in the background? Is that a gold Phil SLR?
paul maybe....
Ah, I bet that's it. I forgot you can get Pauls in gold.
My guess would be a Gaansari. which is just a Paul, anodized gold.
but it's surrounded by crazy anodized NJS bling, so that makes me unsure......
That picture is great. It has three levels of mystery to it. 24 bucks says that was taken at Yojimbos or some other blingy bike shop.
god we're such dorks. like we're hunting UFOs or something...
I just figured that was a pile of old 80s BMX crap.
Haha. It was indeed taken at Yojimbos. The wheels there are mine and Marcus has been keeping me updated with photos. It's funny because every time he sends me photos of the stuff I'm buying there's a whole slew of random parts lying around in the background. It's become a game for me to try and identify all the random parts lying around.
fwiw i've seen gold anodized shimanos from the 70s/80s. They looked just like campy records.
+2,000,000Originally Posted by transplant
that's at the shop. it's a gold Paul hub surrounded by gold anodized Nitto 123AA bars, and a mix of gold anodized & silver Nitto Jaguar stems.
We layed out all the gold stuff we just got in so we could drool over it.
Do the golds match well?

Maybe its just me but I think all the gold **** is hideous. I prefer the stealth look to bling.
Took a city like new orleans to kill a man like johnny thunders,
a man who died with his guitar in his hands.-MCD

I don't suppose you know how much they cost too?Originally Posted by shants
trackstar has some gold suzues in stock, along with some other bling.

What is it?
If you are like me you have hundreds or even thousands of images and videos ever since you got your first camera, some taken with a normal camera other with a digital camera. Through all the years you believed that until eternity you would be able to remember the story behind every single picture, you would be able to remember the names of all the persons on your images, and you would be able to remember the exact date of every single image.
I personally realized that this was not possible anymore, and especially for my digital images - but also for my paper images - I needed a tool to help me describe my images, and to search in the pile of images. This is exactly what KPhotoAlbum is all about.

First, let's step back and see how our March forecast verified:
For March the forecast was for an "average" month regarding the temperatures. Through the last 30 days we had our extremes, but after calculating through Wednesday, we averaged about 62° for our afternoon highs. The average for March is 63°, which means March finished a bit cooler by roughly a degree. Precipitation officially came in around 3.84". The forecast was for a below average March thanks in part to La Niná. The average rainfall for March is 4.07". Overall it has been a cooler March and a drier one (by about .23"). Not a bad forecast!
Looking Forward:
The last time we got together and talked about an extended forecast I mentioned the influence of cooler Pacific sea surface temperatures (La Nina). Not much has changed since then except that the outlook for a weaker La Nina by June is slowly coming together. As sea surface temperatures return to normal, our monthly trends will also follow suit. That being said, April should come through about, if not slightly below average. The second week of April may snap us back into some cooler air, but overall we should rebound to the April average of 71°/72°.
The precipitation forecast may be a little trickier to pin down. As La Nina weakens, we would then infer/forecast a slightly wetter month, but with a lack of moisture in the air and in the ground (think soil moisture evaporation), the two factors may cancel out to a monthly rainfall total around 3.19".

7 Celebrity Moms Who Were Pregnant Brides
Monday, August 19th, 2013
When I decided to take the plunge into matrimony at 5 months pregnant, I found some comfort in knowing that there were other brides out there who understood my situation.
There are a lot of, shall we say, unique challenges to walking down the aisle when you're expecting, so I admit that I loved seeing celebrities who made toting a bridal bump look not only completely doable, but downright glamorous.
These ladies made sporting a bridal bump look glamorous.
I know how hard it can be to stand up when other people seem to be judging, so in an effort to capture some of that glamour, I present my round-up of celebrity mamas who got married while pregnant.

Jelly Belly Candy Company, formerly known as Herman Goelitz Candy Company and Goelitz Confectionery Company, manufactures Jelly Belly jelly beans and other candy.[3] The company is based in Fairfield, California, with a second manufacturing facility in North Chicago, Illinois and a distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. In October 2008 the company opened a 50,000 sq ft (4,645 m2) manufacturing plant in Rayong, Thailand where it produces confectionery for the international market.[4]
Jelly Belly Candy Company, manufacturer of Jelly Belly jelly beans and a wide range of confections, is a family owned and operated business now in its sixth generation of candy making. The family traces its roots to Gustav Goelitz, who came to the United States in 1866. He built a successful confectionery business: Gustav Goelitz Candy, in Belleville, Illinois.[5] Gustav Goelitz's younger brothers, Albert and George, emigrated to America a few years later joining the family business. The Goelitz name developed a reputation for quality confections as the brothers expanded operations and by 1898 were specializing in candy corn and other mellocreme candies (also called butter cream), a new type of candy. The second generation of candy makers moved to North Chicago opening the Goelitz Confectionery Company plant in 1913.[5]
Herman Goelitz, second generation candy maker, moved to the west coast to start his own business, Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The company eventually settled in Oakland, California in 1924. In 1960 Herman Rowland, Sr., fourth generation candy maker, joined the Oakland, California family business. The family decided to expand the company products making jelly beans, Chocolate Dutch Mints, America"s first gummi bears, and jells. "One of those new products was a small and very flavorful Mini Jelly Bean [developed in 1965]."[6][7] The Mini Jelly Bean center was flavored with natural flavoring, an innovative idea, instead of just the outer shell.
Ronald Reagan was introduced to the Mini Jelly Beans in 1966. "The then California governor had quit smoking years before and turned to popping candy as a"substitute."[8] Reagan wrote to Herman Rowland, Sr. while governor, "It"s gotten to the point"where we can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around a jar of jelly beans. We owe you a special measure of thanks for helping keep our state government running smoothly."[8]
In 1976 David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, collaborated with Herman Rowland to create a jelly bean using natural purees. Using the Mini Jelly Bean concept "...the Jelly Belly innovation was to flavor the chewy insides as well""[9] David Klein sold the first Jelly Belly jelly beans in an ice cream parlor, Fosselman's, in Alhambra, California in 1976. The first flavors were Very Cherry, Tangerine, Lemon, Green Apple, Grape, Licorice, Root Beer, and Cream Soda.[10] It was David Klein's idea "...to sell them as separate flavors instead of a variety pack and he came up with the name "Jelly Belly" [instead of] "Goelitz Mini Jelly Beans." "[11]Source: Wikipedia

Thankfully for my own state of mental well-being, it was playing at Acti's booth, and while it's yet to be released to the general public, some enterprising soul filmed the clip and uploaded it to YouTube. There's no sound (well, no Van Halen Sound...DJ Shadow fans are well-catered for, however), but there are details, like:
- There are 25 Van Halen tracks in the game
- There'll be "3 signature Eddie Van Halen guitar solos"
- There are 19 other bands included on the disc, including Queen, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Blink-182, The Offspring and Weezer. None of whom I associate in the slightest with Van Halen.
- It appears only four of the band's all-time roster are making the cut: Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen

SpaldingCon on Publishing
Agents & Editors: When, Why & How to Connect, with Leslie Daniels (This session is full.)
Join Leslie Daniels, a veteran of publishing and a three hat wearer (agent/editor/writer) with insight and strategy on getting your work out there, for a 2-hour seminar on agents and editors. Open to the first 15 SpaldingCon participants who sign up for the session. This session will take place Friday morning and participants may also sign up for a workshop. (This session will be concurrent with other sessions.)
The Personal (Narrative) Is Political (and Cultural): Using the News to Frame Your Essays for Publication, by Erin Keane
The personal essay is a useful calling card and platform-builder for any writer, not only memoirists and essayists, and there are more online outlets than ever publishing high-quality first-person writing. As the culture editor for Salon.com, one of the first successful online-only culture and politics magazines, I'm particularly interested in publishing compelling narratives that personalize our wider cultural conversations. In this session, we'll discuss why you should consider submitting to online magazines like ours in addition to your literary journal submissions, best practices for pitching editors, and why you should pay attention to pop culture and politics (even if you're allergic to one or both).
Panel on Submitting to Literary Journals and Small Presses: how to find places to submit and tips on writing query letters.
(Sessions about production for dramatic writing alumni are discussed below.)
SpaldingCon with Workshop
The workshops are full but email (email@example.com) to be put on a waiting list in case of cancellations.)

SpaldingCon as Conference: Dramatic Writing
Script Review: Rather than spending time in workshop, dramatic writing alumni will receive a full-length script review (playwriting or screenwriting, 100-120 pages, 1 per participant). The script will be reviewed by a professional writer, who will make margin notes, provide a 3-4 page letter of comments, and have a 30-minute conference with the alum. These scripts are due by August 15 (or soon thereafter; let's talk). (Once participants have registered, instructions on how to submit the script will be emailed.)
The script review and all the sessions below are included in the SpaldingCon registration fee; however, if dramatic writing alumni do not wish to have a script review, they may attend the conference on Friday and Saturday only for $150 and attend some of the following sessions.
Lectures and other sessions:
- Helena Kriel and Larry Brenner will present a 2-hour faculty lecture of interest to playwriting and screenwriting on the TV series Breaking Bad (suggested pre-assignment: watch the first season).
- Eric Schmiedl will give a lecture for playwrights on how to write plays that address topics of current interest, such as environmental, horror, or LGBTQ.
- Recent graduate Andrea Nasfell will present a lecture on the business of screenwriting: "The Game of Hollywood: An Overview of The Biz"
- Michael Dixon, former Associate Artistic Director of Actors Theater and author of a book on craft will present "Breaking from Realism: Narrative Strategies for Theatre in the 21st Century" for playwrights.
- Larry Brenner will present a session for screenwriters on how to take a pitch meeting, which includes a discussion of 3 different kinds of pitch meetings.
- Screenwriting alums will give their pitches (on their own script or based on Larry's lecture) and get feedback from faculty. A follow-up session will allow alums to revise and pitch again after hearing the feedback.
More about Andrea's talk: The Game of Hollywood: An Overview of The Biz
In the board game Life, there are many paths to success. The same is true when writing for Hollywood – there are as many roads as there are screenwriters, and everyone's experience is different. In this Game of Life-style lecture, we'll explore the divergent paths through the industry and answer many of the questions writers ask. Queries or contests? Studio or independent? Why are there so many titles for producers? How do I get in the Guild? And most importantly, when do I get paid? By the end, we'll trace a screenplay's progress from "FADE OUT" to the 99-cent DVD bin at Walmart, and all the steps in between.
More about Larry Brenner's talk: I've got a pitch meeting. Now what?
Not all pitch meetings are the same, and it's normal to have anxiety before taking one. In this lecture, we will discuss different types of pitch meetings, and how to prepare for each in turn. What is expected from the writer in a pitch meeting? How much preparation should you do? What questions should you ask a producer when going after an assignment? How is pitching different for film and television? What role does your representation play in any of this?
More about Michael Dixon's talk: Breaking from Realism: Narrative Strategies for Theatre in the 21st Century
How can playwrights write theatrical text that better reflects "life as it is" in the 21st century? Can playwrights develop their unique voice within a context that resonates in this new millennium rather than echoing cultural priorities of the past? This talk offers a few ideas that can guide playwrights away from conventions of realism and toward more theatrical and imaginative forms of theatre. Resources: Michael Dixon's book Breaking from Realism: A Map/Quest for the Next Generation (Smith & Kraus) and available on Amazon.com.
Michael was the Resident Director of The Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis, Literary Director of The Guthrie Theater, and for 17 years Literary Manager and then Associate Artistic Director at Actors Theater in Louisville. To learn more, see: http://www.michaelbigelowdixon.com/
More about Eric Schmiedl's talk: Wrestling with the Market: Writing to Outside Prompts and Needs
Theatre is a collaborative art. It is one of its most celebrated hallmarks. However, sometimes this means that the generative impulse for a project might not come from the playwright. Theatres commission new works to explore themes or celebrate heroes. Contests want to address topical issues or specific social concerns. How do we as writers address these requests with authenticity? This lecture seeks to find ways of shaping writing exercises to help us create meaningful theatrical works that thoughtfully address outside needs.
Registration opens July 1 and ends September 20. Register and pay by August 20 for the early-bird price of $450! After August 20, the cost to register is $499. (Dramatic writing students who wish to take part in SpaldingCon without the script review can participate for $150, and should email Karen Mann at email@example.com before registering.)

"Sun City, Ideal First Visit To South Africa" Top 5 Page for this destination Sun City by Mikebb
Sun City Travel Guide: 312 reviews and 836 photos
I had been wanting to visit Africa for many years but never managed it as my wife was very concerned about safety. When we decided to take a cruise to Alaska during June 2007 I said we would buy Round The World air tickets to break up the long flight from Australia.
I chose Sun City on the edge of the Pilanesburg National Park and approximately 200 km from Johanesburg for our 4 day African stopover. Our package included private return transfer from the airport to our accommodation in Sun City; the journey taking close to 2 hours with many interesting sights along the way including the isolated sprawling" settlements" of the indigenous population.
Many people believe that Sun City is limited to the luxury Hotel, Palace Of The Lost City or the casino. For those more active and interested in activities outside their hotel accommodation you can enjoy wildlife safaris to the various game parks, a game of golf on the international standard Gary Player course, jogging trails, Motseng Cultural Village or just walk around the grounds and enjoy the magnificent gardens and forest.
We visited Sun City mid May and had beautiful clear days with blue sky, however be prepared for cold nights and mornings with the temperature falling to 0 Centigrade. We were caught out with not bringing enough warm clothes.
This park covers 50,000 hectares and was formed by volcanic eruptions over 1.2 million years ago. The area has been populated for thousands of years by local tribes and then white settlement mainly for farming. In 1979 the district was proclaimed a National Park and over the next 15 years the land has been restocked with game and the scars of human settlement removed.
A 110km peripheral Big Game fence was erected over the very rugged terrain and it now contains a vast variety of wild animals including the "Big Five". During our safari we saw elephant, black and white rhino, giraffe, zebra, hippo etc.
We found Sun City and the Pilanesberg National Park to be a most enjoyable holiday, a fantastic introduction to Africa and a yearning to return and enjoy other parts of this exotic country.

What a wonderful time you had here! Great page and lots of nice photos! Saw Sun City on Getaway years ago, looked pretty impressive and a wonderful place to visit.
this was the dreams of Sol Kerzner realised, during the "independent" years of Bophutoswana and Lucas Mangope. Anybody know where these two or their offsrping are doing nowadays?
Interesting travel pages on Sun City with interesting tourist attractions such as Waterworld, Animal Farm, the Palace and the Casino. Thanks for your great virtual tour. Thanks also for visiting our South Korea travel pages. ~ho & pang
What a fabulous place, Mike. I just love your photos of the animals in the National Park and of course, the elephant story. I had a similar experience in Mykonos with a flock of sheep and a donkey!
Enjoyed all your photos and detail. Great place for kids - small & tall - is that a falcon in your photo? Grazie, <(•¿•)>
I am so glad you found your wallet - I hate it when tourists lose things never to be found - it could have spoilt your holiday, thanks for visiting my pages.
You have worked hard and very well with your tips and photos that are very interesting
This certainly is a mecca for local in the country and many from the world. Good job of presenting the things to do.
Hi Mike! Nice to see you enjoyed Sun City (some people says it's too commercial, but I liked it still)...nice pages, Greetings from Arizona, Norman :)
Interesting page! Your photos of the animals are brilliant!

American World Pictures has acquired the worldwide rights to both "One Long Night" and "Triloquist," and will screen both for buyers around the world in the Cannes Market. "Night" is a Latin-themed comedy thriller starring Alison Eastwood, Karen Black, Ed Begley Jr. and Jon Seda. Directed by David Alfaro Siquerios (who recently won the Houston Film Festival's Best Director award for the film), the film "appeals to a worldwide audience," says American World Pictures President Mark Lester. Lester's other acquisition, "Triloquist," is written and directed by Mark Jones ("Leprechaun.") It follows two teenagers on the run from their murderous dummy.

Jump to Recipe View more meat free recipes sides
I don't have the best knife technique ever but sometimes I like to pretend that I have mad chopping skills. I especially love breaking down cauliflower. Once you get the core out you can just get into the zone cutting up the florets into tiny, bite-sized pieces. I love how cauliflower are fractal – no matter how small you cut the florets, you can still tell they're cauliflower!
Cauliflower is one of those versatile vegetables that you can pretty much do anything to. Like my ultimate favourite vegetable, potatoes, they taste great boiled, steamed, baked, stir-fried, deep-fried and best of all, roasted. Roasting at high heat gives cauliflower a sweet, almost caramelized flavour. The florets end up soft, but not mushy. Roasted cauliflower is like cauliflower candy, no joke. I'm pretty sure I can eat a whole head myself.
Cauliflower were on sale recently so I went ahead and bought two. Excessive? Maybe. But for someone who falls into food obsessions, two heads of cauliflower is nothing. We've been eating roasted cauliflower for three days straight and counting and I'm loving it! Do yourself a favour and jump on the roasted cauliflower train – it's a very tasty ride!
Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
serves 4 generously as a side dish
- 1 head of cauliflower cut into small florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the cauliflower in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Line a large baking pan with tinfoil for easy clean up. Spread the cauliflower out on the pan and roast, stirring occasionally if needed, until tender and golden brown about 25-35 minutes, depending on the size of your florets.
I love roasted cauliflower! My fiance and I cook it a similar way, only we add lemon juice and cheddar cheese on top before we put it in the oven. It's amazing!
I love this! It's simple, healthy and tasty – win, win, win!
Roasted cauliflower is the best–certainly a far cry from the soggy boiled cauliflower of my youth. I think my favorite way to eat it is as a garnish for a thick tomatoy or peanutty soup or stew.
I love roasted cauliflower.I'm always interested to read other recipe's to see if anyone has any clever spins, but olive oil with s&p is the simplest and the best. i'm all for the browner the better!
i believe this is the best way to eat cauliflower. great work!
Awesome recipe! Gonna use this and make some cauliflower puree :)
I'm going o try this tonight, I hope my man likes it!
How gorgeous is that cauliflower!
do you need to boil it?
I always feel like I've got mad knife skills when I'm breaking down a cauliflower, too! I'm probably doing it all wrong.
Roasted cauliflower is so addictively good! I could easy snack on a whole head of it after coming out of the oven!
Still one of the best recipes I've found in a long time, thanks.
Nice, simple recipe!
A good trick – to really get a nice sear on the florets (and for that matter, on any roasted veggie) – is to stick the roasting pan in the oven (sans foil) while it heats. Then toss the florets on teh pan and put it in the oven. So good!
Mmmmmm… I like cauliflower especially with the cheese, then is the most delicious… Very good!
Add a little thyme in with the salt and pepper. From tasty to gourmet in seconds.
I like to make cauliflower soup by roasting on the stovetop in a large pot with an onion and pat of butter until soft. Then add a box of chicken stock. Simmer for 15 minutes then blend. One of the best simple foods ever.
Now this is an add on that I will try with the roasted cauliflower , sounds delicious!
The stem or the core of the cauliflower is just as good! I just take a pairing knife and remove the fibrous outer layer, then chop up into little pieces and toss along with the florets. It's delicious!

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
modric an interesting situation
according to the press chelsea might increase their offer to over £30m.....which Spursw will accept.....modric is unsettled so will he give 100%....and there is another ingredient in the mix.....evidently the lyon midfield ace Pjanic(who is getting rave reports from the scouts) is available for £10m.....should we sell Luka,buy this whizz kid and use the extra cash for more buys.....or should we retain a reluctant Luka?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Retain him. I think I read something on Sky Sports the other day which said Modric has forgotten about his dream to Chelsea and that Redknapp had convinced him to stay for at least one more season.
Also, Juan Mata. We DO NOT need some weak little player like that. We already have Modric, Kranjcar, VDV and Giovanni Dos Santos as possible playmakers already. The fact that we'd be willing to outbid or "highjack" Arsenal's bid by doing 22m is outragous. These papers really are stupid, why would we pay that much when we struggle to sign 15m for Damiao [which we should have got...] and 15m Vucinic.
- 2 Replies to E-E-E
Mata would be a great signing as he's got great quality anywhere across the line and would link well with bale, What I dont understand is he has got a 13.5m release clause, so why offer 22m?..Also dos santos is set to go in Aug, and Kranjkar is likely to go if Modric stays, and with Jenus, Bentley, Palacios going if we can find buyers, then that leaves us short in MF, so,Mata..Pjanic.and Afelley would be good replacement's...That and two striker's ( at least ) would give us great chance of CL,.......The latest paper rubbish is that now the chav's have missed out on Pastone, their going to come back with a 40m bid for Modric, and I wouldnt be surprised to see Man u make a bid if they dont get Sneider, so if we do lose him then those players will be ideal, and if he stays they'll be fantastic additions
yes also mata is at a CL team & can go to arsenal who are a bigger team than us & are in the CL!
so why would he choose to come to us.
its not realistic.
someone like the lyon player or marin are much more realistic signings (if modric goes).
id be disappointed if we accepted 30m for modric.
35m is the going rate for a player like modric.

What most of these "men" aren't taking into consideration is that most abortions which happen after 5 months have nothing to do with birth control..and everything to do with the health of the mother or fetus.
What's particularly sad about this bill is that in addition to banning abortion after 5 months with no exception for the health of the mother or fetus and no exception for rape or incest...the bill also drastically cut funding for women's health and family planning services.
Listen..I find the idea of any woman having an abortion as a form of birth control distasteful and wrong...but the reality is there are a thousand other reasons that women make this painful decision or have it made for them
I guess what will happen in Texas is that you will have a situation like you had last year in Ireland. A woman, 5+months pregnant discovers that her baby is not going to continue to develop and a miscarriage is imminent. The woman..unable to have a safer procedure to terminate the pregnancy (because of an abortion ban) was forced to endure a painful miscarriage..one that resulted in complications that caused her to bleed to death.
No doubt..a woman somewhere in Texas will have to meet the same fate before the "men" in charge realize it's just not their business.
I ask all the "men" in this forum who are in support of the TX bill. What if that were your wife, sister, daughter? Would you still feel that they are expendable for the sake of principle?

These days it's generally accepted that being addicted to sex is a debilitating and genuine problem, one we should have sympathy for. Am I the only person who feels a little bit like – hang on! - about all the 'understanding' and 'awareness' of this pressing problem to society? Or does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that it might not be 100 'a jolly good ruse dreamt up by randy selfish people'? Let's examine the facts.
Sex addiction doesn't seem to bring with it the life-threatening consequences that other, more traditional addictions do. Alcoholics, for example, risk damaging their liver, terrible shakes and eventual yellow jaundice and death. Cocaine addicts risk a collapsed nose and spending thousands and thousands on their habit. Yet, if it's bonking, or the pursuit of bonking you are hooked on, you end up with . . . friction burns? More trips to the clap clinic than average? You simply can't argue it's the same.
Another issue is that only blokes seem to suffer from it. David Duchovny, Russell Brand, Tiger Woods... they've all spent time in 'Sex Rehab'. Hmmm. These are all pretty rich, powerful individuals. They'd be offered a lot of opportunities whether or not they took them up, then when their reputation is jeopardised by getting caught out with their mucky paws in the biscuit tin, they realise, in a life-changing epiphany like a thunderclap, that THEY'VE GOT SEX ADDICTION! Really? What about when a female celebrity behaves badly in public? Think of Lindsay Lohan or the late Amy Winehouse. They're much more likely to receive an unflattering nickname than a wave of sympathy for their condition.
Non-celebrity sex addicts do exist, but it's not glamorous, it's really rather dark. In the words of Eric Benet (who went to sex rehab after cheating on Halle Berry) said; "Sex addiction is a real thing, you know. In retrospect, it's not what I would label my situation". The reality of rehab includes child sex abusers and rapists – some of whom might be receiving therapy as part of their sentence.
No one could argue that Russel Brand's filthy yet fascinating back-story harmed his career, in fact, it seemed to give him quite the rock 'n' roll edge over other stand-up comics. But compared to the anonymous people whose lives have been destroyed by succumbing to extremely harmful compulsions, it's almost insulting, and certainly unsavoury if being 'addicted to sex' is used as a convenient public relations exercise.

Sweden honors centenary of WWII hero WallenbergBreaking News
Sweden will commemorate the centenary of the birth of Raoul Wallenberg in 2012 with a series of postage stamps and a touring exhibition about the World War II hero credited with rescuing tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews.
Organizers launched a photo exhibition about Wallenberg in Stockholm on Tuesday, and two new stamps that will go on sale in May. The exhibition will tour Hungary, Germany, Russia, Israel, the United States and Canada next year.
As Sweden's envoy in the Hungarian capital of Budapest from July 1944, Wallenberg saved 20,000 Jews by giving them Swedish travel documents, or moving them to safe houses. He also dissuaded German officers from massacring the 70,000 inhabitants of the city's ghetto.
However, he disappeared after being arrested by the Soviet army in Budapest in January 1945 and his fate has since remained one of the great mysteries of WWII.
The Russians have claimed Wallenberg was executed on July 17, 1947, but have never produced a reliable death certificate or his remains. Unverified witness accounts and new evidence from Russian archives suggest he was still alive years later....

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- The nation is focusing on a largely rural swath of upstate New York that has taken on unusual relevance for a special congressional election in an off year.
The race toward Tuesday's election started about five weeks ago with three candidates and is ending with two.
They are Democrat Bill Owens and surprise contender Doug Hoffman, a member of the state Conservative Party.
Republican Dierdre Scozzafava (skoh-zuh-FAH'-vuh) dropped out over the weekend and backed Owens after Hoffman supporters complained about her support of abortion rights and same-sex marriage.
Top Republicans including former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty have endorsed Owens instead of the party-picked Scozzafava.
The seat has been in GOP hands for decades.
