Revenue the council received from resource consents has
dropped 54% in the past five years while applications have
dropped 11.4%.
Between the 2007-08 financial year and 2011-12 there had also
been a 53.5% drop in consents decided, figures released by
the Otago Regional Council show.
The most recent figures for last year up to November 9 showed
167 consents had been lodged and in the four months to
October resource consent fee revenue had dropped 6% compared
with what was expected.
Dr Selvarajah said in the past two years there had been a
reduction in consent applications.
There was a trend of new applications, as opposed to those
needing renewal, dropping since 2008 as the large number of
applications relating to new subdivisions declined, including
developments at Cardrona, Luggate and Jacks Point.
Publicly notified projects, the most costly, had dropped from
75 in 2008-09 to 12 in 2011-12 and decisions on publicly
notified applications dropped from 267 in 2007-08 to 74 in
''It's a reflection on the regional economy. Things seem to
have slowed down,'' Dr Selvarajah said.
A large backlog had been created in the mid-2000s because
demands outstripped council resources. There were also more
large projects, such as those related to Contact Energy, in
that period.
''A lot with sunset clauses requiring resource consents came
through - like [those] from old irrigation schemes - and were
sitting in the system.''
The council employed more staff to deal with consents and
then in 2009 the Resource Management Act streamlining process
required consents to be dealt with in a more timely manner.
''So from there it has gone down quite a bit.''

One of our LDAP client machines, which I cannot immediately fix or reinstall, occasionally starts creating thousands of simultaneous connections to our OpenLDAP server, to the point where the server stops responding to other clients.
Is there a way to limit the number of connections from each client machine so that other clients do not suffer? I can't find anything in the slapd.conf man page, but maybe someone more expert can suggest something.

Soldiers from Guinea have occupied a village in Ivory Coast as a decades-old border dispute flares up, Ivorian security sources said Monday.
An Ivorian soldier in the area told AFP, when reached by telephone from Abidjan, that "around 50 Guinean soldiers armed with Kalashnikovs" took over the village of Kpeaba.
Kpeaba lies close to the town of Sipilou, around 15 kilometres (nine) from Ivory Coast's border with Guinea.
"They have taken down the Ivorian flag and raised the Guinean one," said the soldier with the FRCI, the Ivorian army.
"The situation is tense, a contingent of FRCI troops is stationed seven kilometres" from Kpeaba, he said.
A member of the Ivorian police force said "the incursion and occupation date from the beginning of February."
The source added that the Guineans had ousted the Ivorian village chief and brought in their own on Saturday.
The dispute between the two former French colonies dates back to the days of independence, he said.
Guinea gained independence from France in 1958 and Ivory Coast followed suit in 1960.
"A joint Ivorian-Guinean commission is needed to settle this dispute" and "demarcate definitively this part of the border," the police source said.
The western region of Ivory Coast is the most unstable in the country.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• Jered Weaver did it again on Monday night at Seattle: He defeated the Mariners, allowing only one run in a seven-inning start. In each of his first five major-league games, Weaver has started, earned a win, lasted at least six innings and allowed no more than two runs.
The last pitcher who started his big-league career with such a streak was Don Schwall, who did it for the Red Sox in 1961. The last player to do it before Schwall was Boo Ferriss for the 1945 Red Sox; he followed that formula in each of his first seven starts.
In the era of the designated hitter, the only other American League pitcher to simply win his first five major league starts was Ben McDonald for the 1990 Orioles.
• Orlando Cabrera extended his reaching-base streak to 60 games with an eighth-inning single. It's the ninth time during the streak that Cabrera extended the streak by reaching base in the eighth inning or later.
• Scott Kazmir, all of 22 years old, won his 10th game of the season Monday, joining 23-year-old Justin Verlander at that level of victories. The last time that two pitchers in one league, each not yet 24 years old, had at least 10 wins by the All-Star Game was in 1988, when Greg Maddux (22) had 15 wins and Dwight Gooden (23) had 11 wins at the break.
• Alfonso Soriano hit two home runs Monday, giving him 26 on the season, including 20 from the leadoff spot. Soriano hit 38 and 35 home runs out of the leadoff slot for the Yankees in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The only other active player with three 20-homer seasons from the top spot is Craig Biggio, who has done it four times (1993, '97, '98, 2004).
• Justin Morneau drove in three runs, giving him 33 in his last 22 games since June 9. That's seven more RBI than any other player in the major leagues over that time; David Wright ranks second with 26 RBI since June 9.
• Roger Clemens, who had won 341 games entering the day, started Monday against Carlos Marmol, who had one win entering the day. In his penultimate start in 2005, Clemens, with 340 wins at the time, started against Ian Snell, who recorded his first career win that day. Before that game, there hadn't been a difference of at least 340 wins between starting pitchers since Warren Spahn's final major league start, on Sept. 27, 1965, when he had 363 wins and was opposed by Tracy Stallard, who had 11 wins.
• Clemens went only five innings for the win over the Cubs. It was only the seventh win of Clemens' career in which he pitched only five innings. By way of comparison, Greg Maddux has 21 five-inning wins in his career.
• The Brewers have 26 wins at home this season, and Milwaukee has come from behind in 22 of them, the most come-from-behind wins at home for any major league team. No other team has more than 17 come-from-behind wins at home this year. In 14 of those wins, the Brewers have come from at least two runs down, including in each of their last four wins at Miller Park. (No other big-league team has more than 10 home wins coming from at least two down.)
If the Brewers keep up this pace, it'll be one for the record books. The only team in major league history to trail in at least 80 percent of its home wins was St. Louis in 1897 -- a team that went 29-102 and won only 18 games at home. St. Louis trailed in 15 of those 18 wins, 83 percent. The Brewers have come from behind in 85 percent of their home wins this year.
• Felipe Alou won his 1,000th game as a manager Monday, making him only the second manager born outside the United States to win that many games in the major leagues. Baseball pioneer Harry Wright, a Hall-of-Famer born in Sheffield, England, won exactly 1,000 games between 1876 and 1893.
• Omar Vizquel hit his fifth triple of the season, giving the Giants two players, age 39 or older, with at least five triples. Steve Finley has hit eight triples this year. The Giants are the second team in major league history to have two players, each 39 or older, with at least five triples. The 1998 Twins featured Paul Molitor (42 years old at season's end, five triples) and Otis Nixon (39, six triples).
• John Smoltz snapped his winless start streak at seven games with a victory over the Cardinals. Smoltz's streak was the second-longest of his career; he failed to record a victory in nine consecutive starts during the 1999 season.
• Ben Wallace has accepted an offer from the Bulls after appearing in 470 games for the Pistons over the last six seasons. There are 36 players who have played for both of those longtime rival franchises. But the only one to play as many games as Wallace for one team and then play for the other is Dennis Rodman, who played 549 games for the Pistons before suiting up for the Bulls.
• Steve Yzerman announced his retirement after having played 1,514 games and scored 692 goals, all for the Red Wings. That's the most goals in NHL history by a player who spent his entire career with one team. Next-most: Mario Lemieux (690), Joe Sakic (574), Mike Bossy (573). The only player in NHL history to appear in more games, all for one team, is Alex Delvecchio, who played 1,549 games for Detroit from 1950-74.
Yzerman played 22 seasons with Detroit. Two other players in NHL history played 22-or-more seasons, all with one team: Delvecchio (24 seasons with Detroit) and Stan Mikita (22 seasons with Chicago). No one from the NBA or NFL played that many seasons with one team, and only six Major League Baseball players did it: Brooks Robinson (23 years with Baltimore), Carl Yastrzemski (23 with Boston), Cap Anson (22 with the Cubs), Al Kaline (22 with Detroit), Stan Musial (22 with St. Louis) and Mel Ott (22 with the Giants).
World Cup
• Roberto Carlos, who announced his retirement from international competition, played in 17 World Cup games for Brazil, the fifth-most all-time, behind Cafu (20), Ronaldo (19), Dunga (18) and Taffarel (18).

Say what you will about "The Amazing Spider-Man" and its sequel, which opens this weekend, but superhero movies have come a long way in the last few decades. Part of that has involved filmmakers embracing the characters as they appear in the comics.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is, in some ways, a more faithful adaptation of the character than most fans could have ever hoped for.
Just like some other iconic comic book heroes, though, Spider-Man has had a long and bumpy journey to the big screen, including numerous attempted versions that, thankfully, never quite came together — as well as a couple that did, but only in the loosest of senses.
Here's an overview of the strange, mostly forgotten history of some of the more out-there attempts at adapting Spider-Man for film and TV.
Steve Krantz's Spider-Man (mid-'70s) — The first in a long line of unproduced Spider-Man movies, this one kind of sets the tone for some of the oddball ideas that would follow in later years.
Krantz, who produced a couple animated series based on Marvel characters in the late '60s, including the Ralph Bakshi-directed "Amazing Spider-Man" that ran from 1967-1970, acquired the rights for a live-action movie in the mid-1970s. His initial plan? A big-budget fantasy musical.
He later rethought that and instead opted to just adapt Gerry Conway's seminal "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (from "The Amazing Spider-Man" No. 121-122), but with a 100-foot-tall robot and Nazis. The rights lapsed before he got around to filming either version.
"Spider-Man" (1977) — People still like to talk about how great the original Spider-Man trilogy was, referring to the Sam Raimi movies of the 2000s with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. What they don't always realize, though, is that those films weren't actually the original Spider-Man trilogy — not by a long shot.
That distinction belongs to a trio of made-for-TV titles starring Nicholas Hammond, an actor who's still probably better known for playing one of the Von Trapp kids in "The Sound of Music." The first movie, 1977's "Spider-Man," spawned a TV series on CBS ("The Amazing Spider-Man") that ran for two seasons. Those episodes were later cannibalized to make two sequel movies that were released theatrically overseas, "Spider-Man Strikes Back" and "Spider Man: The Dragon's Challenge."
While hardly comparable to any of the Sony movies, the 1977 "Spider-Man" did pioneer a few elements that some argue might have directly influenced the 2012 version of "The Amazing Spider-Man," including POV shots as Spidey swings around Los Angeles — er, I mean, New York.
Japanese "Spider-Man"/"Supaidāman" (1978-1979) — The 1970s were a busy decade for ol' webhead. As part of a licensing agreement with Toei (the company behind the "Super Sentai" series, which became "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" in the U.S.), Spider-Man also had his very own TV series in Japan.
Lasting for a total of 41 episodes, it saw him battle a panoply of building-sized monsters with the help of his giant robot Leopardon (what is it with Spider-Man and robots?) that could also transform into a spaceship. Oh, and in this version, Spidey, who spent his non-superhero time as a professional motorcycle racer named Takuya Yamashiro, gained his powers after being injected with the blood of an alien named Garia from the planet Spider.
Tobe Hooper's Spider-Man (mid-1980s) — No less bizarre than the Japanese Spider-Man was this unrealized concept for a live-action movie from the heads of Cannon Films, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus (cousins who were responsible for such gems as "Superman IV: Quest for Peace" and the 1987 He-Man movie "Masters of the Universe").

Vintage Syroco Wood Scottie Dog Bookends Pair
A pair of Syroco Wood Scottie dog head bookends, circa 1940's. Ever alert, the terriers depict finely detailed fur coats and collars. Each has a metal book slide base for securely holding your books.
One bookend has the original Syroco sticker which reads, "MADE IN USA – Syroco Wood – SYRACUSE NY".
Each measures 6 3/4" high by 5 1/2" wide.
They are in very good condition. No cracks and finish is excellent without worn spots. The back of one ear has a chip that is not visible whatsoever from the front and difficult to see without careful inspection from the back.
These handsome bookends would make a great addition to your library!
History: Although "Syroco" is used in a generic manner by some collectors to describe stylistic pressed wood collectibles, original Syroco wood was produced by The Syracuse Ornamental Company (hence "Syroco") of Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1890, the company initially made hand-carved decorative components for the furniture industry.
Demand was great and the company developed a process to mass-produce replicas of the carvings by compressing a mixture of wood, flour, waxes, and resins into molds. In the 1930s and 1940s the company changed its name to Syroco Inc. and manufactured a line of novelty items. Production of the decorative items was discontinued by about 1950.

ABB Buys Baldor for $3.1 Billion to Bolster Drives
ABB Ltd., the Swiss maker of factory robots and power transmission gear, agreed to buy Baldor Electric Co. for about $3.1 billion in cash to expand in the North American market for industrial motors and drives.
Shareholders of Fort Smith, Arkansas-based Baldor will receive $63.5 a share, ABB said in a statement today. That's 41 percent higher than Baldor's closing price yesterday. ABB is paying about 14 times Baldor's projected operating profit next year, compared with an industry average in the last five years of about 16 times, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Chief Executive Officer Joe Hogan has increased the pace of acquisitions as he puts Zurich-based ABB's $5.3 billion in net cash to use. He purchased software maker Ventyx Inc. for more than $1 billion this year, and made an offer for Chloride Group Plc, only to be outbid by Emerson Electric Co. Hogan said today he still has excess cash and will continue to seek deals.
"We see significant potential for ABB to use Baldor distribution to expand its drives business in the U.S., as well as a more general build out of its discrete automation business," said Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts led by Tim Rothery in a note to clients today.
Cost Cuts
ABB rose as much as 0.17 Swiss francs, or 0.8 percent, to 19.69 francs, and traded at 19.61 francs as of 4:35 p.m. in Zurich. The stock has lost 1.9 percent in value this year. Baldor rose as much as $18.15, or 40 percent, to $63.26.
The deal, in which ABB will also assume an additional $1.1 billion in debt, is expected to close in the first quarter.
Hogan is close to completing a $3 billion cost-cutting program, and ABB said today that integrating Baldor will generate more than $100 million in initial annual savings. The former General Electric Co. executive took over at ABB in 2008 with a track record of deal-making, including the purchase of U.K.-based Amersham Plc for about $10 billion in 2004.
Hogan told journalists on a call that he had had Baldor in his sight "for a while," and that the two companies came in close contact over the last six months. There are no signs of a counter-bid for the company, and ABB feels confident it is bidding an attractive premium, Hogan said.
"We've been looking at opportunities for over a year now," the executive said on the call.
Earnings Boost
The average premium paid for electrical-components companies over the past five years was about 14 percent, with $70.4 billion of total transactions during the period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The biggest deal in the period was Schneider Electric SA's $6.1 billion purchase of American Power Conversion Corp. in 2006, the data show.
"The strategic fit looks good, but comes at a price," said equity analysts James Stettler and Alasdair Leslie of UniCredit in a note to clients today.
The purchase will add to earnings in the first year, and existing management will be kept in place, ABB said. Fort Smith will become the headquarters for the combined motor and generator business for North America. Baldor's forecast earnings before interest and tax for 2011 is $294 million, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Baldor CEO John McFarland, who will step down at the end of the year and be succeeded by Chief Operating Officer Ronald E. Tucker, said his company backs the bid as being "in the best interest of our shareholders, our employees and our customers," according to the statement.
Industrial Drives
The U.S. company has about 7,000 employees and specializes in large industrial motors, a market ABB predicts will grow 10 percent to 15 percent in 2011 as new energy regulation comes in place. The company also makes power transmission products such as mounted bearings, enclosed gearing and couplings used in process industries, as well as drives and generators.
By 2015, ABB aims to reap more than $200 million in annual savings, and two-thirds of these reductions will be realized by 2013, the company said. Hogan said some costs will be reduced by bundling material purchases and removing Baldor's listing.
The offer for Baldor will start in December and is conditional upon at least two-thirds of Baldor shareholders tendering their shares, ABB said. Citigroup Inc. advised the Swiss company on the transaction, with legal advice from Kirkland & Ellis LLP, while UBS AG and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP advised Baldor.

Astro is a three reel classic slot which uses B3W technology. The slot includes a range of icons, various bets and the chance to win prizes during open play or whilst spinning a tarot wheel.
The slot uses a calming blue theme with three reels posted below a glimmering crystal ball. You'll also notice a wheel on the left hand side split into segments with star sign icons on them. This is used during the bonus round and we'll talk more about that later.
Reel icons follow a traditional look and feel and include icons such as 7's, bars and cherries etc. One icon which is a little unusual is the crystal ball which is your ticket to larger wins during the bonus round.
Players can use up to three coins which vary in value from 0.50 to £/€/$2 which means total bets range from 0.50 to $6. B3W has included the option to spin the reels automatically too which is handy if you are a fan of handsfree gambling, or want to avoid repetitive strain injury :-).
The Crystal Ball icon could be your route to big money prizes because the bonus round is triggered when one of these icons appears on the payline. This allows you to spin a wheel full of star signs which will pay up to 1,000 coins.
Astro is one of the simpler slots to come from B3W, but that doesn't make it an unpopular game. There's still huge demand for three reel slots and this one is particularly enjoyable because it offers additional features and multiple bets.
Prizes are impressive too, with the top payout awarding $10,000. You can experience Astro firsthand at any B3W casino listed below. Be sure to pop back to let us know how you rate it.

This paper proposes a technique for analysis and testing BPEL-based Web service composition using high-level Petri nets. To illustrate how these compositions are verified, the relationships between BPEL-based Web service composition and high-level Petri nets is constructed. By analyzing the structure of Web service composition based on BPEL, the corresponding HPN is constructed. The dynamism and occurrence are presented in HPN with guard expression with coloured token. After translation, the equivalent HPN of the Web service composition based on BPEL can be verified on existing mature tool, and the related researches on HPN, e.g. testing coverage and reduction techniques that have been studied deeply, can be employed in testing of Web service composition based on BPEL, optimized test case can be generated based on the HPN translated. An example is provided to illustrate the translation ruled and the automatic verify progress

Honey is a wonderful natural sweetener that can be used in main and side dishes as well as desserts. Although it is available throughout the year, it is an exceptional treat in the summer and fall when it has just been harvested and is at its freshest. Here, pastry chef David Guas offers recipes for family-style honey-glazed chipotle chicken, honey-glazed carrots and honeybee cupcakes.
For the chicken
- 4 legs (with thigh attached)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, kosher
- 1/3 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1/2 cup wildflower honey
- 1 cup Frank's hot sauce
- 2 each chipotles from can in adobo
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Baking Directions:
For the chicken: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients in a shallow bowl. Heat a 16" cast-iron skillet on medium-high and add oil. Dredge the chicken in the flour mix and place skin-side down and cook until well browned. Turn and cook the underside as well (2 to 3 minutes each side). Place the cast-iron skillet into a 375-degree F oven for approximately 15 minutes. While cooking the chicken in the oven, preheat stove-top grill. Once the chicken is removed from the oven, place in a large mixing bowl and add the sauce. Gently toss until well coated, then, using tongs, place the chicken (skin-side down) on the grill and cook until the chicken gets crispy again and sauce is sticky (3 to 4 minutes).For the sauce: Combine all ingredients over low to medium heat and simmer until thickened and has a syrup-like consistency. Serve immediately, perhaps with jicama slaw and cornbread.
- 12 ounces baby carrots (rinsed, peeled, kept whole)
- 3 tablespoons honey, your favorite
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seed
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
Baking Directions:
Bring a 4-quart pot of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Wash carrots, keeping the tops on. Peel the carrots. Cut the tops off. Place the carrots in the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes (remove a carrot to check if cooked properly — carrot should be just soft on the outside and hard in the center). Place the carrots into a 10- to 12-inch sauté pan on medium-high heat and add the honey, toasted cumin and curry powder. Continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the honey has thickened and coated the carrots well (like a glaze). Turn off the heat and add the butter, stir until the butter melts. Serve immediately.
For the vanilla-bean cupcakes
- 3 (12 oz) sticks unsalted butter (softened)}
- 1 pound granulated sugar
- 6 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean (split/scraped)
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher)
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the honeybee buttercream
- 8 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pound unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup honey (Tupelo or wildflower)
Baking Directions:
For the vanilla-bean cupcakes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the butter, vanilla bean, extract and sugar in a bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high level using the paddle for about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed and add eggs one at a time, allowing the eggs to incorporate fully before adding the next. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda together. Add the salt. Alternate the dry ingredients with the buttermilk into the bowl on a low speed (starting with the dry and adding with the dry in about 3 intervals). Portion the batter into cupcake paper liners (which are in the muffin pans). The batter should fill the cups about two-thirds. Bake for about 15 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the consistency by inserting it into the center of the cake. When removed, if the pick is wet, the cake needs more time. When done the pick should be dry. Allow the cakes to cool completely before topping with buttercream (about 45 minutes to an hour).For the honeybee buttercream: In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the yolks for 3 to 4 minutes. Combine the sugar and water, heat on high until the temperature reaches 240 degrees. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the hot sugar down the side of the bowl, until all is incorporated. Continue to whip at a medium speed until the yolk mixture thickens and cools down (about 5 minutes). Keep the speed at medium and add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time. Then add honey and blend until incorporated.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Andy Reid to Kansas City Chiefs 'imminent'
Well so much for Andy Reid to Arizona.
According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the former Eagles coach is set to become the boss in Kansas City.
A deal between the Chiefs and Andy Reid is not imminent following latest meetings. expect sweeping changes and announcement likely today…
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
La Canfora meant to say it was "now imminent", which he tweeted out shortly after.
Reid will not be traveling to San Diego or Arizona. Issues of staff and structure were hashed out today.
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
It's a somewhat stunning turn of events if only for the fact that as of Tuesday it was being reported that Reid was all but certain to be taking the Arizona job. However, the most high-profile coach on the market reportedly had a good interview with the Chiefs Wednesday, and decided to cancel scheduled visits to Arizona and San Diego.
Though Reid may (or may not) have been their top choice, the Cardinals can now turn their attention to current defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who they have interviewed twice already, Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who they are scheduled to chat with this weekend, and Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who the Cardinals have asked for permission to talk to.
No matter where they go, Arizona Sports 620's Kyndra de St. Aubin is reporting the Cardinals will not be conducting interviews Thursday.

The runs are nice & long which is nice because the chairlifts are SCARY old so you're glad once you get to the top & are off them and you still have some nice mountain time before going back on them. I like the runs and the terrain park and who doesn't love them having a half pipe? The only downfall of that is that you HAVE to go through the terrain park to get to the half pipe. I still struggle in terrain parks so i felt bad getting in the really talented people's way.
Their food is RIDICULOUSLY expensive.....literally it is NUTS. The "all u can eat breakfast buffet" at "Dantes" had a wide variety but the eggs were cold & runny (I'm by no means a cook but can do eggs better than that), the oatmeal runny & tastless, & the french toast sticks were overdone (didn't know you could even do that to them!). I will give props to the potatoes, they were good but this buffet was $13.00 a PERSON - PLUS your drinks!!!!! A hamburger or chicken sand was 6 dollars a la carte. I literally bought a package of instant oatmeal, a yogurt, a turkey wrap, a vitamin water, a small coffee & a rice krispie treat and it was $15.00 in the cafeteria!!!!!
They make up for it I guess by cheap alcohol. An entire pitcher of beer ranged from $6.00 - $7.50. So you'll be happy if you're a drinker.
The room rates were low but the rooms left a lot to be desired. They didn't even have a mini fridge! The water pressure was horrible. They did keep you well stocked on kleenex, toilet paper & towels though and I had no wasps.....thank god because I would have left (allergic).
We had an incident of someone pulling a fire alarm prank at 6am on a sunday morning and the resort did nothing to even apologize for it. You think that wing of the place should AT LEAST have gotten the crazy $$$$$ breakfast buffet comped but they didn't even say sorry much less do anything like that.
So just don't expect a luxurious hotel/resort experience. PACK FOOD for lunch, and look up a local restaurant called the "The Log Cabin" in Baraboo, WI and drive there (7-8 miles away) to eat instead of spending CRAZY amounts of money on their food. If you go there to board & socialize and only be in your room to shower & sleep then you won't even notice the room issues.

Australia's December PMI holds steady at 44.3, remaining in contraction territory for the 10th consecutive month. Among the "inhibitors" cited by respondents is, of course, the persistent strength in the aussie. Sydney rises 0.7% in its first chance to react to the big rally Monday in the U.S. Australia Index Fund (EWA) +17.3% in 2012.

Crema Catalana
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
Crema Catalana or Catalan Cream is the Spanish version of the French dessert, crème brulée. Due to the close proximity of Cataluña to France, some believe the famous French dessert actually originated in Cataluña! Wherever it originated won't matter as you eat this dessert, letting it dissolve in your mouth! It is a great dessert for Spring, since it is also called Crema de Sant Josep, or St. Joseph's cream, traditionally prepared on March 19th, St. Joseph's Day, the Spanish equivalent of Father's Day in the USA. This is a great dessert to make ahead of time, since it is very easy and requires 2-3 hours of refrigeration before serving. Make it the day before and leave it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Then heat the broiler, caramelize the sugar and serve! (Chill times not included).
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1⁄2 lemon, rind of, grated
- 2 cups milk
- In a pot, beat together the egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until thoroughly blended and the mixture turns frothy.
- Add the cinnamon stick and grated lemon rind.
- Mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp of the cold milk, when well mixed return it to the remaining 2 cups of milk.
- Pour in the milk.
- Slowly heat the mixture, stirring constantly, just until thickened.
- Remove pot from heat immediately.
- Tip: As soon as the mixture thickens and you feel resistance while stirring, remove the pot from the heat or the mixture may curdle or separate! The texture of the finished crema will be grainy instead of smooth and creamy, this is as it should be.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and ladle the milk mixture into 4 ramekins (individual serving size).
- Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
- Before serving, preheat the broiler.
- Remove ramekins with the crema catalana from refrigerator and sprinkle the rest of the sugar over each ramekin.
- When broiler is hot, place the ramekins under the broiler on the top shelf and allow the sugar to caramelize, turning gold and brown.
- This may take 10 minutes or so, depending on your broiler. Remove and serve immediately.
- If you'd like, you can serve the crema catalana chilled, but we think it has more flavor when served warm from the broiler.

We really liked this a lot but I will put a little less lemon in it next time because the kids didnt really enjoy it that much.
Very much enjoyed, a lighter, looser texture than creme brulee, with a delicate flavour, my husband was pleasantly surprised by this (for us) unusual dessert. Not difficult to make, I was quite nervous about over-cooking it, but it was fine. I made it the day before and let it sit overnight in the fridge, putting it under the grill the following evening. This made six desserts in small ramekins, for me. Thanks, Annacia!
This pudding has a wonderfully lemony flavor. Lighter in texture than a creme brulee and to me, other than caramelizing the top upon completion I am not entirely sure the two are similar. I used my kitchen torch for the final touch. I enjoyed this very much and will make again! Thank you, Annacia!

Ever get excited about a random sneak peek at a girl's panties from across the room? Like the look of a sexy bitch getting fucked with her bikini bottoms balled up in her mouth? Well, we know exactly what your dirty little mind is looking for. We picked up a few hotties off the street that looked like they're ready to try some fetishy fun with our hung and horny panty freaks!
Juan Cuba gives panty fans all the panties they can handle in this noteworthy new series. Panty Peek Freaks is all about the cotton panties — full butt ones, in particular — and Cuba makes sure they remain part of the scene from beginning to end.
The panties are always on to some degree. The girls either pull their panties aside, wrap them around their ankles, wrap them around their thighs or cover the dude's head with them. The panties even play a part during the pop shot — often stuffed in the girl's mouth as she gets splattered.

Santa Cruz Island
Today was an outstanding day on Santa Cruz Island. The weather was perfect! The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but it was not hot –at the end of the day it even felt a little bit cool. Conditions couldn't have been more suitable for our excursion's goal: getting to see Galapagos giant tortoises.
Some of our guests decided to visit the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park Service facilities. Read More>

National Geographic Endeavour
Surtsey & Heimaey
By mid-morning, National Geographic Explorer had reached the volcanic islands in the Westman Archipelago off the southern reaches of Iceland. We went straight to Surtsey and circumnavigated it for some amazing views of the island's geology. The variable patterns, shapes, and colors made for wonderful photographic opportunities (Figure A). This island is world renowned in that it suddenly appeared in late 1963 when a series of underwater eruptions built up a new land mass through the accumulation of volcanic debris that rose from the sea floor at a depth of 120 meters (400 feet) to reach a height of 170 meters (560 feet) above sea level. It has been a scientist's dream, in that it has allowed researchers to observe a sterile, new bit of landmass slowly take on life. Over time, various lichens, fungi, mosses, and vascular plants, as well as invertebrates and nesting seabirds eventually took hold on the ash deposits of the volcanic island. In the meantime, erosion has formed some impressive sea cliffs and decreased the overall size of the island by half over the past 50 years.
As our ship moved off from Surtsey, a call went out…killer whales! So, we headed in their direction for a closer look. Read More>

Vega and Visten Fjord, Norway
Progressing ever southwards, our exploration of the coast and fjords of Norway continued this morning with a visit to the charming island of Vega. Its population of just over 1220 people live mostly from farming, and in 2004 the Vega archipelago was granted World Heritage status, because of the importance of its cultural heritage and landscape, and in particular, its traditions of eider down production. We were taken around by local guides who delighted and inspired us with their knowledge of their environment and their deep connection with their distinctive inheritance. On walks around the island we learned how the islands had emerged from the sea 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age, forming the most developed 'strand flat' in the world, which is still rising at a rate of about five centimetres a year. We also learned how the acidic granites and the alkali sedimentary deposits had formed ideal conditions for wild flowers. We discovered four different kinds of orchids, in addition to a profusion of other flowering plants in all their diversity, while herons and the occasional eagle flew overhead.
In the main settlement of Nes, a museum and visitor centre provided us with wonderful insights into traditional and modern life in this community and, no less wonderful, provided us with another opportunity to enjoy waffles with all the trimmings in a lovely Norwegian setting. Read More>

Le Conte Glacier & Petersburg
If the word tranquility was assigned a color, it would assuredly be glacier blue. Setting out in our trusty inflatable boats we left the cozy comfort of National Geographic Sea Bird to explore the terminal moraine of La Conte glacier. A terminal moraine is the furthest point of advancement of a glacier, as it pushes through miles of landscape, bulldozing in front of it collected loose sediment. Upon its eventual retreat, this mass of rock and dirt is left as a significant topographical feature, and in this case acts as a prominent sand bar to the mouth of La Conte fjord. In this case the moraine has created a shallow band of water that at low tide strands larger icebergs that have calved off the face of the glacier and floated miles out toward the ocean. These huge hunks of frozen ice will remain stuck until the tide rises or they meet their inevitable fate as they melt and break apart in the comparatively tepid 40 degree Fahrenheit waters.
While fascinating from a geological perspective (and let's be honest, what isn't?), this setting is nothing short of stunning visually. Read More>

Kelp Bay & Red Bluff Bay, Baranov Island
After cruising through the night, National Geographic Sea Lion explorers awoke in the calm waters of beautiful Kelp Bay. Several guest explorers bushwhacked through the Alaskan blueberry, huckleberry and Sitka alder to explore an old growth forest dotted with 200-300 year old Sitka spruce and western hemlocks. Sphagnum moss blanketed the spongy ground with numerous species of mushrooms passively turning the dead forest into the nutrients needed to support the emerging seedlings of a diverse understory. With great effort guest explorers slogged their way to interior wetlands and muskegs to witness the plant diversity of one of Alaska's most common biomes. Meanwhile, other explorers ventured out in kayaks to watch sea otters and harbor seals rollick about Kelp Bay. Once the early morning explorers traded places with the early kayakers, and all seemed to be enjoying pleasant walks and paddles when suddenly a loud noise rang out—or did it? Those in kayaks were pleasantly surprised to see a humpback whale completely breach and then slam the water with percussive force. Hikers were baffled by the "bang"; however, all quickly preceded to the intertidal zone to witness either the 2nd or 3rd humpback breach. Expedition landing craft riders were fortunate to trail the humpback from the 100 yard distance mandated by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). This humpback continued to slap the water with its fins, perhaps playing, perhaps jarring krill that it then captured while feeding.
After all aboard, Birgit Buhleier, National Geographic Expert, shared her National Geographic sponsored "Critter-Cam" research wherein a camera is glued to dorsal side of a humpback whale to document their behavior. Read More>

Santiago Island
After spending two days on the western realm of Galapagos the National Geographic Endeavour arrived today to the central area of the archipelago. Early this morning, we anchored in the area of Espumilla Bay, located on the western side of Santiago Island. Our day began with a wet landing on a sandy beach, and from there we started our walk to the top of a small cone. While walking through the button mangrove forest, we observed some small land birds such as small ground finches, Galapagos mockingbirds, and Galapagos doves. Some of our guests took the option of the photography walk along the coast and found the many nests of the green sea turtles built several weeks ago. Another great sighting this morning was the Galapagos hawk; this is the top predator in Galapagos and it often hangs around the turtle's nesting area.
At the end of the walks we returned aboard and navigated during breakfast to Buccaneer's Cove, where we spent the rest of the morning exploring the coast and the underwater world from the glass-bottom boat, or by kayaking or snorkeling in deep waters. Read More>

We woke up this morning surrounded by a light, dewy mist amidst the high mountains of Nordfjord. The atmosphere was mystical and the staff set out to offer a variety of activities, including Zodiac cruises, bushwhacking, beach strolling, as well as kayaking in the calm and blue water of the fjord.
As we get out of the water we find the galley team already on shore collecting mussels for dinner and the birthday boy Teddy rodfishing from a Zodiac. Read More>

Lake Eva, Chatham Strait & Red Bluff Bay
Traveling south from Glacier Bay overnight, we traversed Chatham Strait and made our way along the east side of Chichagof Island. Our misty morning focused on Lake Eva and the surrounding temperate rain forest dominated by Sitka spruce and western hemlock. Kayakers explored the dynamic tidal lagoon, where river outflow from the lake meets the ocean. Paddling on a falling tide, they skirted a salt marsh, gravel spit, and the lower reaches of the estuary. Because this river provides ideal habitat for both adult spawning and juvenile development, it supports salmon runs of multiple species through the summer and fall seasons. Others of our group enjoyed walks of varied lengths through the stands of both second and old growth forest; a few brave individuals even went for a swim in chilly Lake Eva!
The complexity of the old growth forest creates many habitats, supporting thousands of species from soil microbes to insects to lichens to small mammals and bats. Read More>

National Geographic Sea Bird
Delos, Greece
We spent our morning exploring the fascinating island of Delos, a key religious and political center of the Cycladic world. Revered as the birthplace of Apollo, god of the sun, the island is said to be bathed in exceptionally bright sunlight; although that was the case today, a strong breeze kept us relatively cool as we toured the expansive site. In the sacred quarter of Delos, shrines and temples dating from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic era attest to a steady stream of pilgrims throughout antiquity.
Although uninhabited today, the island boasts some of the best preserved remains of Hellenistic residential structures. Read More>

Yummy! This was nice and simple and tasty. I'll have to try it with meatballs next time. My hubby loves his meat so I just used a pound of ground beef that I seasoned with season all, garlic salt, minced onions and black pepper. My son of course wanted 3rds.
EVERYONE loved this! The kids...the in-laws...it was a hit! Thanks!
My family flipped out over this meal! *even my super picky 9 year old said it was perfect!* I used 1 lb of ground beef for the meat and added a cup of diced fresh red onion. Will definitely be making it again :)

GRMN6612 - German Cultural History
What is Germany? Myth, Memory, Culture
In 2014, the British Museum opened their fascinating exhibition Germany. Memories of a Nation, a show that incited the visitor's active participation by distilling Germany's unique and diverse history in only one hundred objects on display, carefully chosen by curator Neil MacGregor. At first sight only vaguely interconnected, these 100 objects invoked the fragmented nature of Germany as a country—neither geographically nor historically, we can even speak of a German nation or history prior to 1871. Instead, a multitude of smaller German states with constantly shifting borders but distinct regional identities suggested over the centuries that "German" was a complex cultural instead of a geopolitical concept. This course traces this complex cultural history and identity from the Reformation to our days. Questions guiding our discussions will include: What is German? What factors define a national identity and which ones created modern German identity? What is the relationship between this historically complex identity and today's Germany as a nation-state? A study of myths and legends, master narratives, stereotypes and images from and about Germany will help provide answers to these and other questions.

GRMN6661 - The River Rhine
The River Rhine – Biography of a River in Historical Perspective
The river Rhine counts among Europe's most famous rivers - it has been called "Nile of the Occident" and "Heart of Germany". Carl Zuckmeyer, German writer and emigrant who escaped from National Socialism to Vermont, referred to the river even as "große Völkermühle" (a "blender of nations") and "Kelter Europas" ("Europe's wine press"). But what is this river's enigma, which seems to nourish so many myths? And: can a river actually "write" history?
This course will explore exactly this question. We will try to unlock the river's biography since the 19th century against its transnational and multifaceted historical background. On the one hand we will investigate the river's problematic history in the realm of politics, environment, traffic/infrastructure and economy. On the other hand we will look at its cultural history and what the river means and has meant on a more abstract level. There are numerous relicts (i.e. Loreley, the Rhine as a romantic icon) which are associated with the dreams and longings of people who came in contact with the river. What role has the Rhine played over the past two centuries in the formation of a peoples' soul and place of memory ("Erinnerungsort"), and in that sense how important has the river been in the self-definition of a people, especially Germans? And finally, what is the Rhine's current role within Europe? Area Studies

A nice tasting combo of juices, Engrossed, & a recipe well worth keeping around! I think this is the first time I've ever used pink grapefruit juice for anything! [Tagged, made & reviewed for Cupid's Choice Beverage Tag game]
This is so good that yesterday I made it 3 times. It's so easy to do. I was not able to get the big difference of color like Lynn got. Cause I used Tropicana Orange Juice. But the taste is wonderful. And the cranberry juice I got was not a big red. Thanks Engrossed :) Made for 123 hit wonders

St. Edward had several chances to end its season on a winning note Friday night.
St. Francis just doesn't want its season to end.
The Spartans held off the Green Wave on Senior Night in Elgin, just enough to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, with a 19-7 victory at Greg True Field.
St. Francis (5-4, 3-4) is playoff eligible with its 5-4 record, but stands at 32 playoff points, which may be on the short side for the Spartans to receive an invitation to the 6A playoff party.
"I didn't even look at (the playoff scenarios)," Spartans' coach Greg Purnell said. "We win 5 and pray."
St. Edward (2-7, 1-6) looked to make things a little more interesting after sustaining a drive for the final 6 minutes of the first half. The Green Wave converted a fourth-and-1 after drawing a pass interference call on a fake punt and a third-and-9 with a 9-yard run from Devontae Elam. Elam's run set up a first-and-10 on the St. Francis 11 in the closing minute of the second quarter.
Elam rushed twice for 7 yards, but quarterback Mike Castoro was off target on a pass as time expired preserving St. Francis' 13-0 halftime lead.
"We had some calls go our way," Green Wave coach Mike Rolando said. "We didn't quite execute the way we wanted to. We didn't score. I was real proud of our seniors, they played like warriors."
In response, Castoro busted a 47-yard touchdown run on the Green Wave's next drive cutting the Spartans' lead to 13-7 in the third quarter. St. Francis responded in the same fashion it had all game pounding the ball hard at the Green Wave defense.
Jack Pertrando scored on a 21-yard scoring run with 10:34 left in the fourth quarter. A failed 2-point conversion cushioned the lead at 19-7.
Pertrando finished the game with 130 yards on 25 carries.
"We were playing in a mud bowl," said St. Francis tackle and Michigan recruit Kyle Bosch. "It's a lot like our field. Getting a foot into the ground was especially important. It was really important for us to get the first score of the game."
Alex Alcantara's 35-yard punt return set up Pertrando first touchdown run. Alcantara returned the ball to St. Edward's 15-yard line. Pertrando took 4 carries and wound up scoring on a 3-yard surge into the end zone.
On the next St. Francis possession Dan Beck sprinted on the outside 59 yards down the field. A missed extra point left the Spartans with a 13-0 halftime lead.
