Who is responsible for An Camas Mòr?
What is An Camas Mòr?
A Proposed New Community at An Camas Mòr; it would include space for up to 1500 residential units (subject to regular review) with associated business and community facilities and infrastructure provision and would not be completed before 2032.
It is on the other side of the River Spey from Aviemore and would be initially accessed by road from the Coylum Bridge to Nethy Bridge road and, more directly, by a new off road path and cycle route from close to the Rothiemurchus Fishery entrance. Here, as the community grows, there would be a new road from the electricity substation across the Dell Farm to An Camas Mòr.
It is hoped that the first homes will be ready for occupation in 2015; the first phase is expected to include 40% affordable homes prioritised for those on local housing lists and the rest for the open market. It is expected to accommodate the needs for new housing and premises in the area for 20-25 years and more.
One of the reasons for starting in the East is that An Camas Mòr could be a small hamlet from the start, including workspace and homes and community space appropriate for its size. The design would enable it to grow incrementally from this into a village with a population similar to that in Aviemore.
The start of An Camas Mòr would enable the opening up of the Aviemore Park with access to space for playing fields and other recreational activity. So An Camas Mòr could be of considerable benefit to Aviemore community facilities. How and to what extent future community facilities would be provided would depend on the success of community initiatives.
An Camas Mòr would be planned to be:
What would be the relationship with Aviemore?
How do you ensure that housing will go to those who need it locally and not get farmed out to those out with the CNP on housing lists?
It is currently planned that 40% of the first 200 homes will be for people of local housing lists. It is expected that some of these will for Social Affordable but most will be mid market rent with a right to buy aimed at being suitable for people in local jobs.
What will the buildings look like? Will you try and make the buildings fit into the local surroundings?
What we do know at the moment is that for the environmental impact assessment and the Proposed Masterplan Report the fronts of houses on the street will be coherent and have natural proportions, roofs will be pitched at 47.5 degrees and not be reflective, walls will not be white and most buildings will be close to the street with the emphasis being on back gardens. Lighting would be mainly fixed to buildings and not shine upwards and there would be no dark doorways or corners. Most of the community would be in woodland – the majority of which would be located to the rear of gardens and on the perimeter of the village.
A public meeting was held in September 2011 at which people were able to indicate the types of building they liked and talk to the master planner.
If I buy property in An Camas Mòr and move in 2015 will I be living on a building site for the next 15 years?
An Camas Mòr would be phased so that whilst there would usually be building taking place it would not be close for long and the intention is that construction traffic would not pass through occupied areas.

Chunhua Zhao
Chunhua "Joy" Zhao wasted little time making a mark in her first year as the Saluki diving coach. Zhao was named MVC Invitational Diving Coach-of-the-Year at her first MVC Invitational Meet, after coaching then SIU freshman Brandon Birchak to the 1 and 3-Meter titles and a MVC Invitational Diver-of-the-Year award. Birchak was also named all-MVC Invitational on both boards.
In addition to the MVC Invitational success, Birchak and former senior Adam Peper both qualified for the NCAA Zone D Meet in Houston, Texas. Birchak finished ninth in the 3-Meter and 12th in the 1-Meter, while Peper finished 11th in the 1-Meter and 13th in the 3-Meter, representing SIU well.
Peper (2nd) was also named All-MVC Invitational in the 3-Meter dive and earned all-MVC Invitational Honorable Mention honors in the 1-Meter (4th) dive.
Andrew Flor and Ben Palacios each finished in the top eight on both boards, earning all-MVC Invitational Honorable Mention honors. Andrea Johnson (8th in 1-Meter) and Nadine Shawah (5th in 3-Meter), two of the three women Zhao coached, also earned all-MVC Honorable Mention honors.
The former international diver came to SIU in 2003 with 20 years as a diving coach, ranging from the international to high school levels, in addition to her personal experience as an international diver in China.
Zhao has also continued the tradition of a strong personality on the pool deck, and carries a strong knowledge of the sport, and an attention to detail consistent in SIU's diving coaches.
She comes to SIU from Fresno State University, where she was the women's diving coach from 1999-2003. At Fresno State, her divers qualified for the NCAA Zone Meet and reached the Western Athletic Conference finals every year, placing a diver as high as fifth in the WAC finals. During that same time she also served as the head coach for the Fresno (Calif.) Diving Club.
From 1997-99, Zhao was an assistant diving coach at the University of Nevada, where she coached Lang Rao, who finished second at the 1999 NCAA championships. In 1999, she also was the head coach at the Carson Valley Diving Club.
Prior to coaching in the U.S., Zhao held three international coaching positions in her native China. From 1993-97, she served her second stint as the men's and women's diving coach for the Tianjin Province Diving Team.
During her four years, she had a woman's diver win the silver medal on the platform at the 17th World University Games, a gold medal at the 2nd Youth Games of China and a bronze medal at the 1996 Chinese National Meet. She also coached Sang Xue to a silver medal at the 1998 Goodwill Games. Her work earned her the Excellence in Coaching Award in 1992 and 1993.
She also served as the diving coach for the Chinese National Team from 1989-93, where one of her divers finished fourth in the women's platform dive at the 25th Olympic Games (1992), second in the platform at the 7th World Cup and second in the platform at the 16th World University Games.
Zhao began her coaching career as the men's and women's diving coach for the Tianjin Province Diving Team from 1983-89. During her time there, two of her male and female divers qualified for the Chinese National Diving Team.
Prior to coaching, she competed internationally as a member of the Chinese National Diving Team from 1977-79, following four years (1973-77) as a member of the Tianjin Diving Team.
Zhao received her bachelor's degree in physical education in 1989 from Tian-Jin University in her hometown of Tianjin, China. She lives in Carbondale with her husband, Mark Liu, and their sons, Matthew and Charles.

This review is part of a ten-car comparison of large sedans. The Impala is ranked second place of ten.
2nd place: 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ
Summary review
The Chevrolet Impala was late to the party of moving full-size sedans upscale, but General Motors has done an impressive job with it.
Before its 2014-model redesign, the Impala was a relic that rode on a 1980s platform. Its space efficiency; interior layout, style, and quality; and driving dynamics were clearly subpar. It was simply a relatively cheap way to get a car that was physically very large (even though the cabin didn't provide a ton of usable space).
The new Impala is nothing like that. Ride and handling are up there with the best in the class. Interior space efficiency – while still not outstanding – has improved, and the seats are far more comfortable. And the Impala's cabin has the style, quality, and technology that are appropriate in this class and at this price range.
It certainly isn't cheap anymore, though. Sticker prices have gone up, and rebate have gone way down. Expect to pay nearly $37,000 for a well-optioned model, at a discount of just some $2,500 off the MSRP.
And although it's a commendably solid car, the new Impala still doesn't feel as much like a luxury vehicle as some buyers might demand for that price. The ride isn't as hushed as some of the best, the seats not as coddling, the in-dash screen not as slick. The car also suffers from especially poor rear visibility.
Are these niggles? Sure. But at this price, it's reasonable to be demanding.
Nice to drive
The old Impala offered neither good ride quality nor agile handling. Presumably attempts to make the car handle like it was designed in the 21st century overruled maintaining a 1980s-style ride softness, so the car wasn't competitive in either way.
The 2014 model is a huge upgrade. Ride isolation could still be improved, with part of the problem likely being the large 19-inch wheels, but the Impala is still among the smoother-riding cars in this class; bump absorption and body control both impress.
The Impala pulls off this ride quality without affecting handling. The first impression is that the car has extra-light steering, but it firms up promptly at speed and feels natural and responsive. The suspension is sorted out well enough to keep the Impala from leaning and plowing when it's pushed. It's not sports-sedan agile, but it stands apart from most competitors.
Like the steering, the Impala's acceleration feels lazy in gentle driving. You have to really dig in to get the 3.6-liter V6's 305 horsepower, but it's strong once it does come. The EPA projects 22 miles per gallon in mixed driving, which is within the normal range for this class, albeit on the low side of it. Two four-cylinder engines are also available, one of which as a gas-electric mild hybrid.
Where the Impala would benefit the most from a bit of extra investment is noise suppression. It's hardly a noisy car, even by the high standards of this class, but it's a notable just-okay point in a package that's otherwise quite strong. Stifling road rumble from "modest" to "hushed" would make the Impala a more thoroughly premium car.
Stylish cabin
Although the first impression of the Impala's steering response isn't too impressive, the cabin doesn't wait to dazzle. The tested car's "Mojave" orange leather signals that this Impala isn't ordinary. A leather piece that arcs its way along the top of the dashboard, then matching another piece atop the door panel, adds a splash of style – especially in orange. (More muted color schemes are also available.)
But the once you're past that flash, the rest of the cabin materials are pretty ordinary. Which is not to say that they're cheap, but just not all that fancy for the upper $30,000s. Though the open expanse is interrupted by a spear of woodgrain trim, the passenger side of the dash is mostly simple plastic – the stylish leather arcing far from the passenger. Some competitors are dressier.
Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system also isn't fancy. It's properly sophisticated and mostly works well, but the screen's graphics appear dull next to some competitors. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the screen itself so much as what it's programmed to show – basic, grayish icons of varied sizes. If you like simple, you'll like the Impala's display screen, but it's out of place with the effort that was put into the rest of the interior styling.
Audio controls are also needlessly fussy, requiring too-frequent visits to the infotainment system's menu. The climate controls, though, are simple and cleverly place the temperature display at the center of the temperature dials, a feature that deserves to be plagiarized.
The Impala has well-shaped comfortable front seats, with a good mix of cushioning softness yet underlying support. As in the Ford Taurus (though not as egregiously), a large, tall center console can crowd the Impala's front-seat occupants. For better or for worse, it makes the cabin feel more confined – if you don't want to feel like you're in a full-size car, perhaps you'll find it a welcome coziness, but don't expect to feel like you can spread out.
You won't have to question whether you're in a big car when you look rearward, though, and constrained visibility can make it intimidating. It's especially poor straight back thanks to the high rear deck. Whereas you usually have a "parcel shelf" between the rear seat and rear windshield, the Impala has a bulge that extends upward about six inches. A car stopped behind this Impala at a red light was invisible save the very top of its roof. Forward visibility is fortunately better than in the Buick LaCrosse, but use great care – and frequent checks of the backup camera – when reversing this Chevrolet.
The high decklid does pay off in the Impala's trunk, which is one of the best in this class at 18.8 cubic feet. Besides the sheer volume, this trunk is also well-shaped and has a conveniently large opening. One slight issue: The trunkliner is roughly cut around the hinges; most cars at this price design the liner with the hinges in mind to avoid this.
Rounding out the Impala's user-friendliness is a roomy rear seat. The cushion sits lower than ideal to allow for more head space – which is still more adequate than generous – but passengers should nonetheless be comfortable.
The Impala is a standout product in general, checking the right boxes for style, comfort, feature availability, and driving dynamics. But something intangible is missing that keeps it from getting the overall win. It's found in little details that add up – a bit of extra cabin noise here, a middling piece of cabin trim there.
Even several cars in this class that are overall inferior to the Impala – including GM's own Buick LaCrosse – could be convincingly mentioned as alternatives to luxury-brand cars. But the Impala just isn't quite at that mark. It's a highly impressive mainstream car – and indeed, like most of today's good mainstream cars, a fairly luxurious one. It's just not making the jump to the next level the way this comparison's winner does.

Staying in the "Big Brother" house is the name of the game in order to get to the final prize of $500,000. Being in an alliance can be key to the houseguests strategy to stay in the house as long as possible. Houseguests of the "Big Brother 16" have a variety of alliances and they seem to be ever changing.
This morning, July 8, at approximately 8:58 a.m. PT, live feed subscribers watched as "Big Brother 16" Team America member Donny took Cody aside and confided in him that he thinks that "Big Brother 16" houseguests Devin, Amber, Caleb and Frankie have a final four deal. Donny told Cody he does know this for certain, it is just a gut feeling he has and he could be wrong. When Donny told Cody not to trust anything those four "Big Brother 16" houseguests say and Cody agreed.
Donny told Cody he does not open up like this to most people and that he trusts Cody more than anyone else in the "Big Brother 16" house. Listening to Donny speak to Cody it is obvious that Donny has been very observant of the houseguests since move in day. Many fans, though they find Donny likable, have called the groundskeeper from Ablemare, N.C. a floater. After his chat with Cody, it is obvious that Donny is not a floater and it appears he may have introduced a new way to play the "Big Brother" game.
Sitting side by side on of the oversized lawn chairs Donny very bluntly told Cody that he is here to win this game. However, Donny told Cody, if he cannot win the game he would vote for Cody, if he does go to jury and has a vote. Cody assured Donny that he trusts Derrick and Christine. Cody revealed to Donny that everything Frankie has said to Christine she immediately comes to Cody and tells him.
Even though Donny and Derrick are in the Team America alliance he does not completely trust Derrick. Cody and Donny agree that they can trust Hayden. Donny said that Hayden has all the components to play the "Big Brother" game. Donny and Cody agreed that Hayden is smart, strong and has the social ability to stay in the game and go far. It is possible that fans will see a final three of Donny, Cody and Hayden.

Another healthy aspect of tea: ovarian cancer prevention
As per a study published in Archives of Internal Medicine (December) women who consume two or more cups of tea daily over a period of time may lower their risk of ovarian cancer compared with women who do not.
As stated by Susanna Larsson and Alicja Wolk, "We observed a 46 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer in women who drank two or more cups of tea per day compared to non-drinkers," These are researchers of the National Institute of Environmental Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden.
AdvertisementResults of the study were that each extra cup of tea consumed per day was associated with an 18 % lower risk of ovarian cancer in study participants.
The sample size of the researchers was 61,057 women between 40 and 76 years of age. These subjects were studied for tea consumption and ovarian cancer risk.
During 15 years of studies that began in the late 1980s, 301 women in the study group were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. A 46 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer was found in women who drank two or more cups of tea per day compared with non tea drinkers. Therefore the conclusion was that tea is instrumental in reduction of ovarian cancer in women.

Is Kim K having a secret wedding? Apparently Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might be forced to get married before their scheduled May wedding date. On April 12, The Mirror reported that the couple will be prohibited from officially tying the knot in Paris in May as planned because the law in France states that foreigners must live in the country for 40 days in order to get married there legally.
While Kanye West does own an apartment in France, the mayor will have the final decision on whether or not to take that into account. Technically West doesn't "live" in France and he isn't a "resident" so he and Kim might be stuck. This means that the couple will get their marriage license and actually be legally married here in The States before they head to France to film their "big day."
A Kim K secret wedding wouldn't be super surprising because it's not like she and Kanye are trying to be sneaky about it. The fact of the matter is that they were recently informed that getting married in Paris as they had planned probably isn't going to work. By getting married in The States before heading overseas, the couple will technically be saying their vows twice -- but it will be the first time in front of family and friends (and the world).
According to Hollywood Life, Kim Kardashian is planning on wearing two wedding dresses on the day of her wedding. Kim has chosen designer Riccardo Tisci to design the second dress that she will be wearing -- likely to the reception. The first dress is reportedly still a toss up (even though Kim's wedding day is only one month away) between Lanvin, and Monique Lhuillier. As far as style, it has been reported that Kim will be wearing something more fitting and less "poofy" like she previously wore when she married Kris Humphries.
If Kim K is forced to have a secret wedding, chances are the paparazzi won't know about it. However, a marriage license is considered public record and it won't be hard for a site like TMZ to get their hands on it. Kim and Kanye will have to get married as close to their wedding day to avoid this.

As more and more gay men are becoming fathers, a new website has been launched to offer advice, assistance and support. According to a June 14 report by the Associated Press, two Austin men who are facing the challenges of fatherhood as a gay couple designed the nonprofit organization to help other men in their situation.
As first time fathers, Brian Stephens and Andy Miller launched The Handsome Father back in April after both felt they were alone in the process of raising their 7-year-old son, Clark. They did have straight parents around them, but none could offer advice or guidance in the process of adoption. As Stephens and Miller felt they had no mentors to turn to, they are now those mentors and just a few months after The Handsome Father's launch, the couple is holding its first Father's Day celebration in the form of a brunch for gay fathers on Sunday (June 15).
It is a great outlet for gay fathers and fathers-to-be as the website is designed to provide the leadership and information Stephens and Miller felt was missing when they went through their adoption process. The website's mission statement says, "We believe that every man can be who he is and be a father. We foster a community of support to connect, equip and inspire gay fathers and fathers-to-be. We envision a world where all fathers find a community of support to grow and nurture their families."
The website offers stories, blogs, a mentorship program and give links to other sites that may be helpful. There are different levels of membership and the response has already been strong as the Facebook page already has about 1,200 followers. The Father's Day brunch is just an example of the type of gatherings Stephens and Miller hope to organize through the website. They hope to hold other events in other cities nationwide. Stephens feels the website is in itself is progress. He told the Austin American-Statesman, "Just the fact that it's out there, what a difference that makes."

Rob Fulford, head coach at Huntington Prep High School, demonstrates the "3 Man Position with Charge" drill. This drill works on closeouts, defensive positioning in relation to the ball, communication, and help defense.
Drill Summary:
The drill has three offensive players on the perimeter with three defensive players along the baseline to start. A coach on the baseline will roll the basketball out to one of the three offensive players on the perimeter. The defensive player, who will be guarding the ball, will closeout with hands up and using short, choppy steps. Depending on where the ball is, depends on where you closeout to. If your man is two passes away you're on the helpline. If you're a pass away from the ball, you're denying the pass. When the ball is rolled out to a player on the wing, he will drive it. The defensive player, who is on the help line, must meet the ball outside the lane to take the charge. Once the player takes the charge, his teammates, who are not participating on the on the baseline, must help his teammate up.
Point of Emphasis for the Drill:
1) Communicate/Talk
2) Closeout on the Ball Under Control and with Active Hands (Trace the Ball)
3) Know Where You Are in Relation to the Basketball
4) Take the Charge Outside the Lane

Rob Fulford has been the coach for one of the top high school basketball programs in the U.S. over the past couple of years. Here you will see a drill called "Group Pick & Roll Shooting", where Coach Fulford puts his team through a side pick and roll breakdown drill. Huntington Prep uses a good amount of side ball screens in both transition and half court offense. The beauty of this drill is that it gets all three players involved.
Drill Setup: You only need two baskets for this drill.
Athlete Movements: The drill starts as the post player sets a side ball screen for the guard around the free throw line extended. The ball handler uses the ball screen and drives middle. The post player then rolls to the basket. A perimeter player in the corner replaces in the area where the ball screen was set. The main point of emphasis for this drill is that the three players involved need to read the defense and see if there is going to be help defense on the post player rolling to the rim. If there is no help, the player rolling to the rim gets the ball for a strong finish. If there is help on the roller, the replacement player should get a three-point shot on the wing. At the end of the drill, each player gets a touch and a shot.

Huntington Prep (WV) has produced such stars as Andrew Wiggins (Top Recruit for the 2013-2014 College Season) and Gorgui Deng (Starting Center for the 2013 National Champion Louisville Cardinals). Head Coach, Rob Fulford, has his team perform the 'Ironman Drill' which Huntington Prep uses to promote toughness within its basketball program. It is made up of four components, three of which are on the defensive end of the floor.
Athlete Movements: The player in the drill first must contend with contact in the post. That player is pushed and bumped. Second, that same player must dive for a loose ball near the opposite sideline and simulate tipping it to a teammate. Next, that same player must simulate being in help defense inside the lane and taking a charge from a coach, who drives middle. Finally, that player caps off the drill by receiving a length of the floor pass and converting a layup or dunk down on the opposite end of the court. Not only does this drill teach toughness, but it also encourages enthusiasm among the team.
Teaching Points:
1) Accept that there is contact in basketball
2) Proper timing when diving for a loose ball
3) Make sure your shoulders are square and feet are set when taking a charge
4) Sprint the floor and time getting to a long pass for a layup

Huntington Prep Head Coach, Rob Fulford, has produced 23 NCAA Division I basketball players from 2010 – 2013 including Andrew Wiggins and Gorgui Deng. Help defense is the name of the game in this next clip which features both the "Sword Fighting Drill" and the "Help & Recover Drill." The "Sword Fighting Drill" is used to practice stopping dribble penetration into a gap of the defense and then recovering. While the "Help & Recover Drill" uses the same concepts except in a 3-on-3 setting.
Player Movements: In the "Sword Fighting Drill", players pair up across from each other and simulate coming together to stop a dribble drive. They will touch hands to stop the ball and then recover or close out to their man with a hand up to contest a potential shot. Coach Fulford stresses quickly stepping in to help and then to step out to recover. This is a simple drill but it really drives home the need to recover with a hand up if that ball handler kicks the basketball to a shooter after he is stopped driving middle.
In the "Help & Recover Drill", three perimeter players are looking to drive the ball into the gaps of the defense. The defenders must help or pinch to stop the dribble. As with the "Sword Fighting Drill", the defense must recover with a hand up to contest a shot when the ball is kicked out to the perimeter.
Teaching Points: React quickly and stop dribble penetration (Prevent gap penetration). Recover quickly with a hand up to contest a potential 3-point shot

Under Rob Fulford, Huntington Prep has finished ranked in the top 6 nationally in all of the major national high school basketball polls over the past two years. In "Zig Zags", Coach Fulford reviews the fundamentals of a defensive stance along with the movement of playing the basketball defensively. This is a drill Huntington Prep does regularly to reinforce the importance of defense and ball pressure.
Player Movements: After going through this drill first at half speed, in order to warm the team up and review stance, the team goes all out. The drill starts in the corner with players sliding to the elbow, half court at the sideline, opposite elbow, and then opposite corner. Once a player completes the drill on one side of the floor, he will sprint to the next corner and do the same movement in the opposite direction.
Drill Essentials: Players need to stay low, slide without crossing their feet, talk, hit the floor when changing direction, and have active hands.
Drill Tips:
1) Talk/Be Loud
2) Stay Low in Your Stance
3) Slide
4) Head Up
5) Active Hands

I bought the dress at the Bridal Collection in Denver. I felt like a princess on my wedding day. The details on the dress were elegant and beautiful and I loved that I could have a big dress even though I am short. It didn't overwhelm me but was still my fairy tail dress. The color is called Ivory/Oyster. It is slightly off-white which makes it look even more elegant.
- Alterations: The dress was shortened since I am only 5' fall. I wore 2.5" heels and it was altered to fit perfectly for my height plus the heals. I also had cups sown in (I am either a B or C cup usually). The dimensions of the dress are 33.5" bust, 25" waist, 36" high hip, and 34C bra size.
- Preservation Method: It has not been cleaned and will need to be cleaned once you get it. Nothing was spilled on it so the cleaning would just be a normal cleaning needed right before your big day. I am happy to send more pictures if wanted.

Dominic Kinnear rung the changes but it still wasn't enough to change Houston's woes as the Dynamo fell to a 2-0 loss against Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday night.
Sporting were also coming in with a winless streak, missing Graham Zusi to World Cup duty, but they saw their streak come to an end with an impressive victory.
The win is especially impressive considering that Sporting were reduced to ten men just 21 minutes in to the match, making the result incredibly frustrating for Dynamo.
Houston made a significant change, after three straight losses Tally Hall was relegated to the bench, allowing Tyler Deric to make just his second MLS appearance.
The match started up in difficult circumstances with two injuries, one to each side, putting both sides in even more trouble as both already had too many players out injured.
Sporting KC lost Paulo Nagamura in the fifth minute as he came off second best in a challenge with AJ Cochran resulting in a reported concussion for Nagamura.
Houston lost a player of their own within the first ten minutes as David Horst was forced off the field with a leg injury in the eighth minute, which brought on Eric Brunner.
In the 21st minute Sporting KC's task got harder as Toni Dovale was sent from the field after being shown a straight red card for an elbow on Alex Lopez.
Despite that Sporting KC looked the more dangerous side, with Lawrence Olum proving a dangerous player and constant threat to the Dynamo defense.
Houston's best chance came around the half hour mark when Lopez was able to hit a shot from distance that dipped on to the goal but was well saved to keep the match scoreless.
In the 41st minute Kansas City very nearly took the lead but were denied as Brunner was able to recover from a Dynamo mistake and hack the ball off the line to keep it scoreless.
But in stoppage time Kansas City broke through as Brunner turned villain, unable to control the ball on the edge of the area, allowing Soony Saad to break through and score the goal that put SKC in front.
Houston tried to hold on in the second half but they never looked like scoring an equalizer as Kansas City remained in control.
In the 70th minute Sporting Kansas City wrapped things up as another Houston mistake gave them a penalty as a Cochran hand ball allowed Dom Dwyer to step up and hit the penalty to seal the win.

Phew! Considering it's supposed to be Armageddon Week, the housemates seemed to be having a whale of a time in tonight's highlights show.
The arrival of the newbies, especially Biannca Lake, appears to have given an injection of, ummm, spirit into proceedings.
And who would have thought that being a webcam girl didn't involve anything sexual, and is just about people chatting? WHO KNEW?
Here's how it all played out in our liveblog earlier this evening...
Good evening and welcome to our Big Brother liveblog. We'll be kicking off once the show starts on Channel 5 at 10pm.
The last time we saw the housemates, they were in a state of fear and confusion.
Armageddon Week was underway, and all of their luxury goods had been snatched from them, with a brutal regime replacing their relaxed existence.
What's more, three new housemates have moved in, and their presence is giving the originals the jitters.
Tonight, we'll see wild speculation about what the newbies might really be up to – maybe they're on a secret mission from Big Brother, perhaps they're running things as the latest Power Housemates?
Things hot up as the new housemates integrate, with Biannca Lake homing in on Winston Showan, while revealing one of the originals to be a 'webcam girl'.
Cat. Among. The. Pigeons.
Who is the cocky housemate who says that he doesn't need the £100k prize money and that he'd 'throw it up in fireworks' if he won?
And which housemate is on the receiving end of a lapdance from Biannca while admitting that she's been 'diagnosed with bisexuality'?
Plus, the time is approaching for the newbies to evict one of the originals, but who is it going to be?
All that and more from 10pm; and don't forget you can throw in your thoughts and feelings on the Twitter – we're at @MirrorTV.
Did you know we have a TV & film page on Facebook? Check us out here.
Boobs? Was them boobs?
Biannca has been in the house for ONE DAY and she's already waving her chest potatoes around in the face of anyone who gets in the way.
What's the betting she'll have made a bongo movie in the diary room by the weekend?
See? Armageddon Week isn't going far enough for my liking.
It's great that the new housemates are enjoying a posh breakfast in their luxury pad, but how are the originals suffering?
Make them watch footage of the newbies eating their croissants, or pipe the smell into the Armageddon wing of the house.
I love how Biannca is just piling in and spreading fear and paranoia throughout the house, like some kind of parasite.
It looks like Danielle is in her sights, which might be part of Biannca's plans to do a sex with Winston.
But what about Helen? She's vowed to spill the beans about the house's queen bee too - when is that coming?
The original housemates are all pretending to please with the newcomers, aren't they?
They're particularly impressed with their ability to put their cards on the table, be exactly what it says on the tin and all of that what you see is what you get rubbish.
I half expected someone to add: 'Yeah, they're much better than us. We're a pack a two-faced weasels really.'
Steverly? It's STIMBERLY! What's wrong with everyone?
Meanwhile, Danielle's Webcam Girls documentary secret is about to splurged all over the house, by Biannca of course.
Here's a preview of Danielle trying to explain her hidden career to best pal Ashleigh. It all sounds totally innocent.
Bit awkward for Steven there - turns out that he said he would be prepared to have sex in the house in order to win the £100,000 prize.
Bet Kimberly feels like a million dollars after hearing that.
Well, maybe a hundred grand.
There's nothing sexual about being a webcam girl, says Danielle. Nothing dodgy. Of course not.
It's just two people, total strangers, chatting to each other. Probably chatting about football or weather. Like a couple of geezers in a pub.
Completely unsexy. Of course.
Further explanation from Danielle - her webcam girl career is just about chatting to people, nothing more, nothing weird.
She says that some girls strip down to their lingerie and do sexy stuff, but Danielle just does normal chatting stuff. Not weird.
'I'm not a bigheaded b***tard,' says Steven, which he follows up by disclosing that he doesn't even need the hundred grand BB prize.
Hang on Steve - saying that makes you look a LITTLE bit bigheaded if you don't mind me saying.
He says he'd send the prize up in a firework if he won. Hey - why not give it to charity instead? Research into a cure for bigheadedness?
Awww... Steven's cute when he's embarrassed and raging.
It was lovely to see him pretending to be amused then as Ash described hearing Stimberly going at it under the duvet the other night.
If it wasn't for the fact that he turned crimson and slapped a fake grin across his face, you'd be certain that he was loving the banter...
Wahey! Looks like we're back to where we were a week or so ago, before peace broke out.
Namely that the housemates are all getting drunk and asking each other deeply personal questions - which can only end well.
Hang on - have they ALL had threesomes and same-sex experiences? Is that what goes on these days?
Apart from Danielle, obviously, who keeps her clothes on and talks to blokes on webcams about the fluctuating fortunes of the Euro.
There we have it - the first topless lap dance of the current Big Brother series, and it took the introduction of Biannca to make it happen.
It might have been Helen who handed over the imaginary twenty quid and got Biannca's boobs waggled in her face, but if you ask me, Ash was enjoying it more.
Want to know what Ash dreamt about later that night? Here you go.... hmmmm... Pauline? Really?

Prevent animal abuse against zoo animals by strictly supervising all exhibits
Animal cruelty in Chinese zoos is not uncommon. Despite frequent criticism and supposed "crackdowns," zoos in China are still seeing an alarming amount of animal abuse towards the zoo animals. Recently, a lion and lioness were mercilessly pelted with snowballs at Hangzhou Zoo. Action must be taken to prevent further instances of abuse like this from occurring again.
The snowball attack was initiated by a sole individual but he was later joined by others. This young man started the attack simply because he thought it would be hilarious to pelt the lion and lioness with snowballs. Those who participated in the attack ranged from adults to children. Visitors of the zoo need to remember that animal abuse is an unforgivable act of cruelty, not entertainment, and it is up to zoo management to provide adequate protection for the animals.
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

New Orleans Saints linebacker Nate Bussey tweeted that he will be promoted to the active roster from the practice squad.
The rookie who was drafted in the seventh round out of Illinois has been on the practice squad all season.
The Saints have not confirmed the transaction and remains who's roster spot he'll be taking.
Bussey is one of two players expected to be named to the team's 53-man roster, the Saints reportedly signed guard Eric Olsen from the Washington Redskins practice squad. At least one spot is expected to be open if running back Mark Ingram will be placed on injured reserve because of the toe surgery.

Form validation engine 2.0 is live
by Cedric Dugas on January 17, 2011
As said previously a rewrite of the validation engine has been in the work for sometimes and today it is finally live, the API changed a lot, might be a good idea to have a look at the new documentation if you are upgrading.
I will be updating the documentation today, but the most up to date doc will always be the readme on github. The legacy 1.7 documentation and download can be found under package when you hit download on github
Time to stop squeezing ketchup (inside joke) and hail to the beast.
22 comments
Awesome!!! Thanks for the awesome validation tools! Cheers!
Hello Cedric,
I don'y know if you speak french, so I'm gonna try with my poor english
You have many orthographical mistakes in the french js.
I corrected them, where should I send the corrected file ?
>>> Never mind, I found your email, and I just sent it 2U
Tnx for your nice work
It looks like you don't use standard html5 attributes like requied
Is it possible to add support for it?
Can I use this script in my commercial project ?
I will do not remove any lines from script!
Jack, the project is free, for whatever you want to do with it
@Petr It could be moved there, but not for now
great new version !
However, how to validate a form cut under "tabs" ?
Each tab contains a part of the form with fields but only one tab is displayed at a time, while other parts are hidden with css style.
When using validate, only fields which are displayed are validated, others "css hidden" fields are not validated.
Thanks a lot for your Job !
Great to find it's been upgraded. It's so nice ..
I would like to know how to stop form submission after validation. Just like click submit, it validates the form, but not submits the form, appreciate if anyone would help.
@Frak you can use onValidationComplete
:), thank you.. I just figured it out.
My logic was:
first: validate the form values; then if( $('#formID').validationEngine('validate') == true), then submit the form values to another php file to process via POST method. and now, it's just working as I expected. very nice and thank you.
But when I was still cheering for what I've done, another problem just started bothering me. The scenario is like I would like to validate a field which is gonna have an email address, and then ajax it with database. After I spent some time on reading all API documentations and the sample source codes, I decided to use codes like following:
// turn ajax form on, and bind #formID to validationEngine;
$("#formID").validationEngine({ ajaxFormValidation: true, });
then in the form code, I wrote it like:
but it doesnt work, and even nothing logged in java console (i'm using firebugs). then I tested validate options one by one, and I found when I use ajax only which means without 'required' and 'custom' fields, it actually works.
I looked into the validationEngine.js code, but I'm really js newbie and got no luck. Do you have another suggestions please? thanks in advance…
oh, well, the code was filtered..let me simpy omit some tags.
(input class="validate[required, custom[email], ajax[ajaxUserCall]] text-input" type="text" id="user_email_user" name="user_email_user" value="")
Great validation script.
One small issue, the email validation does not seem to work on the iPad or iPhone (Safari). It marks up correct email addresses as "Invalid email address". Any ideas on how to fix this?
This issue seems related to the email validation regular expression. When I use my own custom function and regular expression it works fine on the iPhone and iPad.
The regular expression I'm using for email validation:
I'm sorry, but I think finally I got the reason why I thought it didnt work.
input class="validate[required, custom[email], ajax[ajaxUserCall]] text-input" type="text" id="userEmail" name="userEmail" value=""
It seems that any error messages about custom[email] will not show up uless you submit the form. I'm just used to the previous version of validationEngine, and was curious why it didnt work,
Again, thank you for you reply, and it's really sweeet project.
What versions of jQuery are the validation engine compatible with? Will it work with jQuery 1.3?
I know 1.4 is a vast improvement on 1.3, but a large number of Drupal 6.x contrib modules are not compatible with 1.4, so we're stuck with 1.3 for the time being.
i have a question about validation with a custom Func:
I have 3 inputs but only one of them is required.
this rules are only called when i enter a value into the input?… not good…
Second try:
this rule is excuted every time I validate the form. It doesn't matter if one of the other inputs has a value.
Any idea?
@ jesper, it will not work with 1.3 from what I know, I had a 1.3 package but unfortunately I do not support it anymore
@traedamatic we currently have a bug with non required input
@Frank will have a look, ajax had a rewrite
@Robert thank, will change the regex
No problem Cedric. I think it was related to the previous email regex not allowing uppercase letters, but the iPhone and iPad default to making the first letter uppercase.
Thanks for a great validation tool.
@Frank I am working on doing some example for the ajax form validation
Your validation is great and has a nice unobtrusive UI. However it would be nice to be able to create validatable fields in javascript.
Currently on form.validationEngine('attach'); the code binds all the blur events to validate the form. I have parts of the from that gets dynamically added after the page load. It would be nice to be able to attach the validation function to those dynamically created field too.
Is it possible to change a field CSS style when an error is detected ?
This is a very nice validation tool. Thank you.
I'm new to jquery and have a question. I have a form with two submit buttons. The first continues to the next question, the second to the previous. I would like to turn of validation when I go to the previous question. How do I do that?

This stronghold, originally controlling the river, is dominated by its tower. It gained historical importance when the Tyrol rulers transferred their mint here in 1567. It was at Hall that the silver thaler, accepted throughout Europe, was minted until the early 19C. Visitors can see the mint, which reopened in 1975. The castle houses the Town Museum. From the top of the Münzerturm, there is a splendid view of Hall and the 2 726m-high Bettelwurf.

One day, we'll own a beach house. Everything inside will be nautical themed, but not in a tacky Crab Shack way. More like, J. Crew summer catalog photo shoot style. You get it, right? Anyway, in the mean time, we're stockpiling adorable little touches, like these Memory of Falmouth Salt and Pepper Shakers ($60).

Watching a sea of leaves reflected on a lake in a thousand and one hues, deep in a magical forest that never fails to preserve its silence... this must be the meaning of fall!
Imagine a forest where greens turn to yellows, yellows to reds and reds to browns. A forest that offers all the magic of smoky mountains, crystal clear lakes, majestic trees and no end of flowers. Let there be in that forest not one lake but many. Let them be covered in a sea of leaves, of every color. Colors that fade into another color but never fade away... Shall we go to such a dreamland, you and I? Shall we turn an ordinary autumn day into a child-like fantasy? Shall we spend summer's last moments in such a spot? If your answer is yes, then our destination is the Seven Lakes.
We cast off the weariness of the 42-km drive from Bolu city center in no time at all. No sooner had we reached the Seven Lakes than we found ourselves in the middle of an autumn fairytale in which all the colors of nature were reflected in harmonious array. We delve deep into the forest to discover the lakes whose names become synonymous with day trips and weekend getaways. As you view the Seven Lakes from the Kapankaya Viewing Terraces along the way, you will feel you're in an eagle's eyrie. And the nature hike you start from the shores of Büyükgöl, the largest of the region's lakes, proceeds along a trail that could be termed easy. Right next to Büyükgöl, which reaches a depth of 15 meters, is its little sister, Deringöl. Taking a break at Dilek Fountain, confluence of the springs that feed the lake, is a Seven Lakes tradition. Our next stop are the rock formations known as Gülen Kayalar, or the Smiling Rocks, since they resemble the profile of a person with a grin on his face. This time we encounter another lake, Nazli Göl, whose slightly tremulous surface reflects fall's most beautiful colors. It's not for nothing that it is also known as the Waterfall Lake, for the powerful springs that seep into the lake bottom here form a tiny cascade. After a few moments of restful reflection on the play of light and color on the lake surface, three more small lakes await us in the environs: Kurugöl, Sazligöl and İncegöl, named poetically 'dry', 'reedy' and 'dainty' lake.
Scattered through forest so dense as to almost blot out the sun, the lakes are flung out across two separate plateaus 800 meters above sea level. Following a well-marked road created for touring the national park easily, you can comfortably see all the lakes in a couple hours. While seeking the lakes, each one of which is associated with a beauty in keeping with its name, you will be accompanied by blackberries, mushrooms and the rustle of leaves underfoot. But even when you've seen the lakes, their surprises still don't end. It's as if we are in a tunnel of trees that form a natural canopy against the chill winds. The ruins at Köyyeri indicate that this was once a Byzantine settlement. The highest point of the region, which slopes down from north to south, is the hill known as Eğrikiriş Tepesi at 488 meters, the lowest point Kirazçati at 465 meters. Boasting one of Anatolia's loveliest mixed forests, this region is a virtual plant and tree museum. Formed mostly by beech trees, the dense forest cover is complemented by oak, hornbeam, alder, pine, fir, birch, elm, poplar, ash, hazelnut and linden. Each tree seems to have been set in place according to an architectural master-plan. Red, green, yellow, brown and purple, the Seven Lakes resemble a painstakingly painted pastoral canvas.
Every season, indeed every month, has its own special look and color at the Seven Lakes. Don't be abashed if you encounter the colorful rockroses known as labdanum in spring, and cyclamen growing around the roots of trees throughout the summer months. The water lilies floating on the lake surface meanwhile bloom both summer and fall. Our stroll continues along paths shaded by trees that soothe the soul and transport us to other realms. We would like to see the deer breeding station that appears on the regional settlement plan. But we learn from the officials that there are no deer here at the moment and that those raised in past months have already been released into the wild. Every nook and cranny of the Seven Lakes is a different world. A broad expanse where the trees thin out a little is decked with picnic tables. The appetite is unlimited in this oxygen-rich natural environment. On condition that you bring your own provisions of course, for there is no place to shop in the area. There is no way you will get your fill of the Seven Lakes in a day or two. But strolling through a forest that never fails to preserve its silence, accompanied by myriad scents and the light sifting down through the tree branches, and seeing their silhouettes reflected on the lake... such is autumn at the Seven Lakes.
Lake Abant, Gölcük, Sünnetgöl, Karagöl, Lake Çubuk, Lake Karamurat, Lake Çağa and even more... Did you know that Bolu province boasts a total of 84 lakes, 14 of them natural? An Apple Festival will take place 14-20 October at Lake Seben, which is tipped to become Abant's next rival in popularity. Thirty kilometers from Bolu, this lake is encircled by the pristine Black Sea highlands.
