I am working on a project that requires reliable access to historic feed entries not necessarily available in the current feed of the website. I have found several ways to access such data, but none of them give me all the characteristics I need.
Look at this as a brainstorm. I will tell you how much I have found and you can contribute if you have any other ideas.
Google AJAX Feed API [http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/] - will limit you to 250 items
Unofficial Google Reader API [http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/2005/12/google-reader-api.html] - Perfect but unofficial and therefore unreliable (and perhaps quasi-illegal?). Also, the authentication seems to be tricky.
Spinn3r [http://spinn3r.com/] - Costs a lot of money
Spidering the internet archive at the site of the feed [www.archive.org] - Lots of complexity, spotty coverage, only useful as a last resort
Yahoo! Feed API [http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/2005/12/my-yahoo-feed-a.html], Yahoo! Search BOSS [http://developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/] - The first looks more like an aggregator, meaning i'd need a different registration for each feed and the second should give more access to yahoo's data but i can find no mention of feeds.
[thanks to Lou Franco] Bloglines Sync API [http://www.bloglines.com/services/api/sync] - Besides the problem of needing an account and being designed more as an aggregator, It does not have a way to add feeds to the account. So no retreival of arbitrary feeds. you need to manually add them through the reader first.
other search engines/blog search/whatever?
This is a really irritating problem as we are talking about semantic information that was once out there, is still (usually) valid, yet is difficult to access reliably, freely and without limits. Anybody know any alternative sources for feed entry goodness?

Sony doubles profit forecast for FY'13, full report expected May 9
Sony has confirmed that its financial report for the year ended March 31st 2013 will go public on May 9, and the company has confirmed its profit projection for the year has doubled.
GI.biz reports that Sony's profit forecast leaped from ¥20 billion ($201 million / £130 million) to ¥40 billion ($403 million / £261 million).
The increase suggests that the deprecation of the yen and the strong performance of Sony's financial services division has helped boost the company's profit as a whole.
Sony's operating income forecast has risen from ¥130 billion to ¥230 billion, following the sale of its shares in M3, and the consolidation of three Asian offices into one division.
We'll have more once the May 9 report drops.

In this brief and highly accessible book for general readers, distinguished physicist-turned-theologian John Polkinghorne presents a reasoned account of the Christian view of the world as seen by the one of the world's leading interpreters of the interface between science and religion. Drawing from his experiences as a scientist and a theologian, Polkinghorne argues that Christianity presents a credible and compelling worldview that can be taken seriously even while fully understanding the importance of science.

Easter eggs sweet but not ethical
Only 3 percent of the global chocolate supply is ethically certified to have been harvested without the use of forced, child or trafficked labour. A new report released by World Vision says if Australian chocolate companies paid a levy of 2 cents in every 10 dollars of chocolate sales, exploitative child and trafficked labour in the cocoa industry could be abolished.
Source: AM | Duration: 3min 7sec

TONY EASTLEY: As you bite into your chocolate Easter eggs this weekend, spare a thought for the exploited children and trafficked labour used in the cocoa industry.
As it is, only three per cent of the global chocolate supply is ethically certified to have been harvested without the use of child or trafficked labour.
A new report released today by World Vision says a small levy on chocolate sales could put an end to the nasty side of the industry.
Alison Caldwell reports.
ALISON CALDWELL: Most of the world's cocoa comes from West Africa where children as young as eight-years-old are taken from their families to work in the cocoa fields of Ghana and Ivory Coast.
World Vision's CEO Tim Costello says consumers should think about them when they buy their chocolate eggs this Easter.
TIM COSTELLO: We're eating cheap chocolate because of trafficked children, child slavery, hazardous labour, and it's so simply fixed. It's simply fixed by as much as two cents extra on a $10 chocolate bar.
So little is being spent on cleaning up the supply chain, it's been a voluntary regulatory process and it's proved to be really an abysmal failure. The prime minister - former prime minister of Ivory Coast spoke out very clearly. He said if the chocolate companies paid fair prices then we could eliminate child labour, that's what it comes down to.
Fair pricing, certification, spending a fraction of what they're spending on advertising chocolate and it's a $100 million industry here in Australia, would clean up that child labour.
ALISON CALDWELL: Things are changing slowly - this year one of the biggest players in the market, Cadbury will sell a fair trade-certified Easter egg.
Fair trade ensures workers in factories and farmers are paid a decent amount for the work they do.
The question is will consumers pay more for ethical eggs? AM visited a supermarket in Melbourne's inner south east.
VOX POP 1: Definitely - even if like grandma could make chocolate here in the area I would prefer to buy it from her instead of big companies that exploit not only children but also our money.
VOX POP 2: Absolutely, yes, I would.
VOX POP 3: I hadn't really given it much thought to be honest.
VOX POP 4: There's certain chocolates that I do buy for that reasons and for the genetically modified chocolate as well.
ALISON CALDWELL: World Vision is asking chocolate companies to put aside two cents for every $10 worth of chocolate sold to abolish the use of child labour in cocoa harvesting. Do you think that would be a good idea?
VOX POP 5: Yeah definitely but I mean then again you never know how much people are sticking to their word, I mean I'm fairly sceptical, how much can you trust - but that's a great idea though. Is anyone doing that?
ALISON CALDWELL: Last night AM checked the shelves of the two major supermarket chains and struggled to find any ethical chocolate Easter eggs.
World Vision's Tim Costello says they're out there.
TIM COSTELLO: Don't just be paralysed - actually choose to eat fair trade chocolate. Choose to say to the supermarkets you get more of this in and you'll have my business. That's better than guilt.
ALISON CALDWELL: Chocolate has replaced coffee as Australia's biggest-selling fair trade product with sales growing from $4.5 million in 2009 to $74 million last year.

ComedySportz and Irish dance among events to check out this week
Laugh it away
If laughter could cure ovarian cancer, the collaboration of the Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance and ComedySportz over the last 12 years would have made it a thing of the past. But it can't, though money can help. So the two groups are again putting on "Comedy for a Cause." Let's hope the 13th annual laugh-riot does the trick. It will take place Thursday at 5:30p.m. at American Serb Hall, 5101 W. Oklahoma Ave. The evening begins with a buffet dinner followed by a raffle drawing. Then ComedySportz takes over with family oriented entertainment. The evening isn't over until all auction items are sold. Tickets are $35 and $5 for children ages 5-8 (younger children are welcome for free). The donation of a nonperishable food item gets the givers an extra raffle ticket. »Read Full Article
Roger Hodgson supersizes Supertramp tunes at Potawatomi concert
Funny that one of Supertramp's most famous songs is the singalong love fest "Give a Little Bit." As a performer and as a composer, Roger Hodgson, co-founder and a former chief architect of the pop-flavored progressive rock band that achieved stardom in the '70s and '80s, doesn't seem to understand the definition of "little bit."
That was abundantly clear at Hodgson's show at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater on Wednesday, the first of a sold-out, four-evening residency running through Saturday. Surprised? Don't be. As Hodgson stated at the start of the show, Supertramp broke out in Milwaukee — and judging by the series of standing ovations — people in Milwaukee still adore Hodgson. »Read Full Article(6)

Contrasting productions demonstrate power of 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Is it really possible to grow tired of "Fiddler on the Roof" — a musical, which, as Alisa Solomon notes in her extraordinary book on "Fiddler," has seeped into our culture "like no other musical before or since"?
Both the Fireside Dinner Theatre in Fort Atkinson and Children's Theater of Madison obviously don't think so. Last weekend, both of these Wisconsin companies opened their fifth productions of "Fiddler," featuring veterans Ed Flesch (Fireside) and Brian Mani (Children's Theater). And since I, too, can never have my fill of "Fiddler," I hit the road to see both of them. »Read Full Article

Congratulations! The Frond End Editor plugin is phenomenal!
I have one question/feature request:
Currently, the front end editing functions only seem to be working for users with Admin permissions. I'd like to allow any user who has contributed a Post on my site to be able to edit their own posts in place from the front end. Is this currently possible? I don't seem to get the option at the moment.

"I used this design for my son's baptism and it is just beautiful. The quality of the card is wonderful and the design is simple but elegant. I would highly recommend!!"
"I love this invitation. I personally took my sons photo from home in his baptism outfit & when I uploaded from tiny prints I chose to do black and white. The photo fit perfectly, unlike some other invitations I've tried in the past. I picked the square shape for no additional charge. When the invites came everyone LOVED them! They look beautiful and thats why I always order from tiny prints."
"Ordered for son's baptism last minute. I love this invitation, it was simple to make and still very elegant. Lots of compliments on it- now I'm going to make a thank you card! You won't be disappointed!"
"Loved how you can personalize the invitation used it for my sons baptism got lots of good complements ;) received it on time , the picture was crystal clear can read everything love it"

I have used Pleasures for years. It makes me feel good about myself when I wear it. I am amazed also that other people notice it too. Complete strangers that wait on you in stores comment, "you smell so good" and want to know what I use. When my grand daughter was born after I cuddled her my daughter in law said, now she smells good like Nana-- you can never start them too young!
Written by Peggy Mead on November 12, 2015
This is the fragrance you wear on your first date when u want to leave a great impression. I dated this guy and all he could say my pillow smells just like your perfume and it makes me miss you when your not there
Written by Ms Flo on October 10, 2014
The Pleasures perfume I ordered came promptly. The price was great-the large bottle cost the same as the small bottle at a local store. The fragrance shimmers with beautiful flowers, crisp violet leaves and the low notes create a lovely foundation for the delicate scents to dance upon. It's the only perfume in which I like the top, middle and low notes. People always compliment me when I wear it and I wear it every day!

GE: Compact CFL
For every CFL you install, you'll save around $30 in electricity costs over the bulb's lifetime. But the bulky ballast, which sits between the threaded end and the glass, prevents the bulb from being used in common fixtures such as recessed lighting and desk lamps. GE miniaturized the electronics in the ballast, so the bulb looks more like the lightbulb we're used to and fits almost anywhere an incandescent can go. The new 15-watt bulbs, with light output equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent, should last 8,000 hours.

From Our Editors
Though a dessert display case, rustic wooden tables, and exposed-brick walls ground this eatery's casual neighborhood appeal, the food at Lillies remains decidedly upscale but still approachable. A team of chefs draw from Italian culinary traditions when crafting Mediterranean seasonal dishes—including gourmet pastas, roasted lamb, and gourmet eggs benedict—trumped up with demi-glaces and aiolis. Bartenders concoct cocktails and martinis in between pouring international beers and wine to complement the cuisine's distinctive flavors. During warmer months, guests can enjoy their meals on the patio, where Mediterranean touches, including indigo mosaic-tiled tables and olive-oil waterfalls, reflect the cuisine's heritage.

Mitt Romney Incapable of Correctly Reciting Famous Political Aphorism
Come on, Mitt. It's just four words.

In an 1895 newspaper column, "Mr. Dooley," a character created by the writer Finley Peter Dunne observes: "Sure, politics ain't bean-bag. 'Tis a man's game, an' women, childer, cripples an' prohybitionists 'd do well to keep out iv it." The saying — minus the part about women and cripples and prohybitionists — stuck, and has become a popular political aphorism to this day. You'll often hear it mentioned in a discussion about negative attacks. For example:
Reporter: "Your latest ad claims that your opponent shoots baby ducklings for sport. Does that cross a line?"
Candidate: "Well, as they say, politics ain't bean bag."
As the Republican race has gotten nastier over the past month, the vast gulf between bean bag — which may have been some kind of turn-the-century Skip-It — and politics has been remarked upon with increasing frequency. Especially by Mitt Romney, as recently as this morning. The only thing is, he never says it right. Ever:
''As someone said a long time ago,'' he told a Friday night crowd on the subject of how campaigns can get a little rough at times. ''Politics ain't beanbags.''
"I'm ready for what anyone wants to bring my way. Got to have broad shoulders in this business. As — as was said long, long ago, politics ain't beanbags."
"Anything wrong, I'm opposed to. But, you know, this ain't, this ain't the bean bag."
"Politics ain't bean bags and I know it's going to get tough."
"There's no question that politics ain't bean bags."
As far as we can tell, Romney has not accurately recited the aphorism a single time during this entire campaign. Nitpicking? Sure. Romney is usually only off by one letter. Still, "politics ain't bean bag" has been repeated for over 115 years now. It's four words long. It shouldn't be too difficult to master.

We continue to see the decay of our national infrastructure. Another bridge collapse. This time, in the State of Washington. The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board was quoted as staying this should be a "wake-up call." Our economy continue to be teetering. The masses are in a quandary of uncertainty. Think for a minute on what made this nation an economic power-house? Today, we focus on money and ignore what made us the most productive nation in the world, infrastructure. The scheme we currently have is all about money, called monetarism.
Let's help the federal government, with the debt problem. Seventy percent of Alaska is owned by the federal government. At a recent town hall meeting, State Senator Cathy Giessel stated, if Alaska was a sovereign nation we would be tenth in the world in our natural resources. A Washington Post reporter suggested the federal government sell Alaska (Dec. 14, To Solve Our Debt Problems, Let's Sell Alaska).
I am sure China would be interested in purchasing Alaska. More gold left in the ground than has been taken out. Untold mineral resources. Fish to feed their growing population.
Alaskans have about $40 billion invested in our Permanent Fund. Dollars invested in businesses and nations throughout the world. Most believe dollars are wealth. In the end, dollars are only a tool used to help the people, prosper. Our dollars, created by the private Federal Reserve Bank are accepted around the globe. They are backed, by nothing more than the "good faith and credit" of the American people.
Last week, during the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, Mayor Navarre read three proclamations. Two concerned behavior I have observed over my lifetime, Domestic Violence and Workplace Bullying. Assembly member Linda Murphy made comments about the Mayor's proclamations. She commented how she experienced domestic violence, at a time, when it was not talked about. She also stated how the mayor was going to show us where all the bullies are. She chuckled at the end of her second statement. She acted like she had no clue, what the mayor was referencing.
Moody investor service warns of weakening of Germany's banks. According to an article in the New York Times (October 19), Moody believes Germany has too many banks. They are quoted as saying "Intense competition and low interest rates are causing margin pressure that will likely further erode already-weak bank revenue and profits."
As I stood listening to the speakers at the recent groundbreaking ceremony for our new Central Peninsula Hospital Radiation Oncology Center, I got to thinking. The politicians and hospital corporate board members kept slapping themselves on the back for a job well done. They were able to secure an additional $2 million from state government, to bring the building start to fruition. The Hospital Corporate Board did change their behavior to accomplish this endeavor. They decided to work with an independent physician, instead of threatening him, as they did the independent surgeons.
In 2002 my wife and I moved to Alaska from Michigan. One of my last nursing jobs there, was in the Emergency Room of Cheboygan Memorial Hospital (CMH) in Cheboygan. It was the largest employer in the County and opened its doors in 1942. They filed for bankruptcy in March of this year after losing 7 million dollars in 2011. On April 3, 2012 they closed their doors leaving all 403 employees without work. There are now daily prayer services and rallies attracting 2000 people wanting the hospital to reopen.
In 2002, Alaskans overwhelming supported the development of our natural gas through an All-Alaska Gasline. Ten years later, we the people, continue to wait. Why do our Alaskan Legislators continue to beg Washington DC and the oil companies to build the All-Alaska Gasline?
In April of 2009 I spoke to the Borough Assembly concerning the management style at Central Peninsula Hospital. I thought is was strictly the behavior of senior management. I was wrong. It was and still is the direct result of the Hospital Incorporation Board.
I warned the community about the destructive management style at the hospital. The Borough Assembly ignores the behavior. So the destructive behavior of the corporate board continues.
Often it appears the USA believes the economic world revolves around us. It reminds me of leaders of the distant past who believed the Universe revolved around the earth.
We need to understand, our mere 308 million people is a drop in the bucket to the global population.
Emerging countries are organizing as economic powers. Billions of people are moving forward without us.
Soon we will need to recognize the economic world does not revolve around us. Will we understand or just ignore the truth and destroy ourselves? As Bob Dylan said "Times, they are a-changin."

WASHINGTON -- It's been just more than a year since Barack Obama was sworn in as president of the United States of America, and he still hasn't gotten around to converting the bowling alley in the White House into a basketball court.
But even without any 10-foot baskets in the building, the Lakers' arrival to the East Wing of the White House on Monday to be recognized for their 2008-09 NBA championship sure made the whole place feel like a basketball arena.
"The only thing that is better than watching basketball is playing basketball, but I'm 48 and soon to be 49, and it's a little harder these days to move around on the court, especially when you're playing against guys who are half your age," President Obama said near the start of his remarks. "But I still get enormous, enormous pleasure from watching great athletes on the court, and nobody exemplifies excellence in basketball better than the Los Angeles Lakers last year."
Obama spoke for a little bit more than seven and a half minutes, running up to the lectern to start his presentation like a player who runs from the bench to the scorer's table when his coach tells him he's going in the game.
Like any effective sixth man, he made the most of his time.
Obama first turned his attention to Phil Jackson and joked that Jackson could help out Congress by handing out books for Republicans and Democrats to read so they could start playing like a team.
"I'm especially excited to meet Coach Phil Jackson, the Zen Master," Obama said. "I've been a fan of Coach Jackson's ever since his days running the triangle offense in Chicago. I want to congratulate him on his 10th NBA title, the most in history, but I do want to point out that six of them came with the Bulls."
He has shown his support of the NBA before in his presidency, filming a special public service announcement for halftime of the 2009 All-Star Game in Phoenix and famously drinking a cold one while taking in a Wizards game from courtside seats, but Obama made sure to represent his Bulls in particular Monday.
"You remember this?" Obama asked Magic Johnson, turning around to pantomime Michael Jordan's "spectacular move" in Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals when Jordan switched the ball from his right to left hand in midair for a layup. "[The Lakers] won the first game, so they were feeling cocky [John] Paxson was hitting all those shots anyway, that's not why we're here."
Johnson just flashed his signature smile and reveled in the exchange afterward while the team relaxed in the Diplomatic Reception Room and snapped photos on the South Lawn.
"What can you say when the president of the United States can trash-talk to you?" Johnson asked. "Normally I have a good comeback, but this time I had to let him slide. It was a special moment in time that I will always remember that the president of the United States, President Obama, trash-talked Magic Johnson. He was the only man on earth that I ever let trash-talk me and not say nothing."
Obama said that Kobe Bryant was "one of the most competitive players I've ever seen," before mentioning that if he had a broken finger like Bryant did, he would "have trouble getting out of bed," much less leading a team on the court.
"We had a good exchange in the back," Bryant said, beaming. "We shook each other's hands, and he immediately pulled his hand back, he wanted to make sure he wasn't squeezing the finger too tight. It was great."
Bryant wasn't the only player Obama singled out. He gave credit to Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol and Jordan Farmar for their charitable contributions toward relief in Haiti. He mentioned Shannon Brown: "I was also told that Mr. Brown right here intends to win the dunk contest," and he quoted Lamar Odom.
(Odom told a reporter that he would need to get the audio from his tape recorder so he could always hear the time the president said his name. Lakers trainer Gary Vitti overheard this and said, "Lamar, this is the White House, everything's recorded in here," without missing a beat.)
All in all, Obama mentioned six of the 12 current Lakers by name in his speech, sounding more like a fantasy basketball owner than like the leader of the free world.
"Obama is very familiar with basketball, and he knows most of the players by their names; some of the other presidents didn't," said Jackson, who was making his sixth White House trip as a returning NBA champ. "They weren't basketball fans to that extent."
The most poignant moment of the afternoon occurred when Obama left the stage to greet some of the players' families sitting in the front row. While the President shook hands with Bryant's two daughters, Lakers executive vice president Jeanie Buss could be seen mouthing the words, "That's so cute" while wiping away tears.
"That's the coolest part about it, seeing my wife and our two daughters sitting there," Bryant said, as proud as I've ever seen him, his cheeks literally flushed red from how hard he had been smiling as he watched as a proud father.
"They're fully aware of who he is, they've studied him already, so it's pretty cool to sit there and watch them actually meet him."
But the day really was about basketball.
As much as Obama was honoring the Lakers, also he was honoring the game that has been his constant companion since long before there was Michelle in his life. He was basking in the game that means as much to him today when people call him "Mr. President" and his focus is his country winning a war in Iraq as it did to him in his youth when people called him "Barry" and his focus was his team winning a state title in Hawaii.
His love affair with the game has led to some criticism (one late-night talk show joked that Obama's NCAA bracket -- which he filled out on ESPN, successfully predicting that the University of North Carolina would be the champion -- was the only thing that has gone right for him since taking office), but it's a genuine part of who he is, not some childhood hobby he still clings to like Peter Pan.
There's a life force to basketball that sticks with you once you dedicate yourself to the sport.
I saw it this morning at the airport in Toronto at 6:30 a.m. when I found myself talking to a Western Conference assistant coach who travels to do advance scouting for his team.
It turns out we both grew up in the Philadelphia area playing hoops, me as a sub on my high school team, him as a starter at a small Division III college there. Instead of staring silently into our Starbucks cups and wiping the crusties out of our eyes, as the rest of the people waiting at the gate were, we found ourselves immersed in a "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" type conversation connecting the dots between all the coaches and basketball lifers our lives had in common even though the man is 20 years my senior.
If I ever ended up in an airport with President Obama, I am 100 percent certain that I could just as easily have an impromptu conversation with him about how he thinks his brother-in-law Craig Robinson's Oregon State Beavers would match up against my Syracuse Orangemen.
"He's a guy you'd love to have a Coke and a smile with," Johnson said so perfectly. "He's not a president that you're not familiar with. You feel like you know him already."
Basketball hit the big time Monday.
The members of Congress in attendance were introduced as "Lakers fans" before they were referenced by their full names, and when Obama exited the presentation, a pianist in the foyer adjacent to the East Room played "Sweet Georgia Brown" -- the Harlem Globetrotters' theme song -- rather than "Hail to the Chief."
"It's just a special feeling being the first NBA team to come here to the White House [with Obama as president]," Bryant said after he presented the president with a yellow Lakers jersey with "OBAMA" and the No. 1 on the back and Fisher handed him a basketball that had been autographed by the team.
Sometimes teams give the president the specialized uniform in a frame and the signed ball in a Lucite case.
Maybe the Lakers figured the president could use a jersey to wear and a ball to play with when he finally gets that court put in.

The Duchess of Cambridge made being a princess look easy but the Royal tour was less demanding than those of decades ago, writes Jordan Baker
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 27, 2014
WHEN little girls dream of being a princess, they dream of tiaras, gowns, and handsome princes. Perhaps that's what Kate Middleton imagined, too, when she first glimpsed William as a 10-year-old schoolgirl.
But being a princess in real life is not so simple. Yes, there are jewels, palaces and handsome princes.
But there is also constant media scrutiny to be wary of, thousands of well-wishers to seem interested in, outfits to get right, stairs to potentially trip on, speeches to bungle, hemlines to be blown by the wind.
There's the certainty that every move you make — every smile, every handshake, every footstep, every hairstyle, every little moment of intimacy with your baby son — will be dissected and judged by millions.
And there is the pressure to live up to the expectations set by your princess forbears, who, in Catherine's case, was the impossibly beautiful, impossibly beloved and impossibly tragic Diana, for whom all this was just too much.
She charmed onlookers across the country with her smile, her empathy, and her gentleness. She revealed a cheeky sense of humour.
And she showed herself to be a tender, loving, hands-on mother.
She didn't put a foot wrong, even on Manly beach, where she navigated the sand in high-heeled wedges.
On her first two tours, and often in Britain, Prince William has held her hand. She was the P-Plate princess, who has been introduced to the royal arts carefully, for fear she be overcome, as Diana was.
This time, she held her own; away from the intense scrutiny in Britain, she was trusted with solo engagements and speeches, and she was confident enough to let her personality shine through.
So many images of this tour will linger in our memories; chubby Prince George in the bilby enclosure; the sunset walk in front of Uluru; tears at Bear Cottage; their solemn respect for our dead soldiers.
But perhaps this tour will be best remembered as the blossoming of Princess Catherine.
In 1954, at a chalet in Gippsland, a door flew open, and Prince Philip bolted out. A pair of tennis shoes flew behind him, then a tennis racquet, and then a furious Queen Elizabeth II, demanding he come back.
With her husband safely inside again, and some inaudible words had between them, the Queen calmly walked outside to talk to the embarrassed film crew waiting to film her with kangaroos and koalas.
"I'm sorry for that little interlude," she said. "But as you know, it happens in every marriage. Now, what would you like me to do?"
Both parties require more empathy and patience than the average newlywed.
Charles and Diana had been married for only two years when they embarked on their 1983 tour of Australia with baby William.
According to one biographer, Diana already felt lonely, unhappy and abandoned by her husband but Charles, although a kind man, struggled to understand his young wife and was confused by her histrionics.
Those issues were simmering at home, but were magnified in the pressure cooker of a six-week tour.
No one foresaw the media interest in Diana on the trip; it was unprecedented even for the royals. And Diana was not yet the media savvy woman she would one day become.
She was shy, mousy, and deeply insecure.
"Diana was overwhelmed, and when she came to Australia in 1983, she was breaking down in tears behind closed doors," says Gordon Rayner, royal correspondent for London's Telegraph.
"No one had told her what to do, there was no template, there was no one who said, 'your job is this'."
Charles worried about the attention. "How can anyone, let alone a 21-year-old, be expected to come out of all this obsessed and crazed attention unscathed?" he wrote to a friend.
"Although he concealed it nobly and even joked about it, it was nonetheless humiliating for a man who since childhood had been the centre of attention wherever he went, to be upstaged by his wife, a novice on royal occasions," Ms Bradford writes.
William was only a baby at the time. But he was a witness to the marriage breakdown in its later years, and understands better than anyone the forces that pulled his parents apart.
He is determined it will not happen to him.
"The people he will listen to are his father and the Queen, and they will have a lot of sympathy for his position," says Rayner. "What they are desperate to avoid is another Diana situation."
The Duchess has still not had to deal with a full-time public workload.
Her time in north Wales, while William was working there, then her pregnancy and maternity leave, gave the palace an excuse to limit her duties so she could learn the royal arts gradually.
"It does take a while to learn to do all these things, it's not that easy," says Rayner. "They have to have a one minute conversations with 100 people in the space of the day.
"If you are the Queen or Prince Charles, that's every week.
"They have to make the person feel they have engaged with them, listened to what they said, and they can't repeat themselves all the time, it would be very obvious if they have these set lines.
"They weren't going to do throw her in there and make her do that from day one, they got her gradually used to it."
The result, royal watchers agree, could be a how-to guide in princess training.
Catherine is still a little rusty in some aspects — she does have set lines when she meets people, as opposed to William's spontaneity, and she's only just learning how to greet people while giving photographers a good angle, as the queen does.
But this tour has been Catherine's most confident yet.
She is poised, polished and looks like she is enjoying herself.
"The Far East tour, because there was a row over (topless) pictures, was almost a case of them having to get through it.
"What's been noticed on this tour, is they are much more of a partnership of equals. She seems perfectly capable of doing things on her own, she doesn't need him to be looking out for her the whole time."
Another advantage the Cambridges have is the strength of their relationship.
In 1983, Australians marvelled at how in love Charles and Diana seemed to be, little knowing how quickly the fairytale was crumbling.
William and Kate knew each other for almost 10 years (perhaps too long, according to tabloids, who dubbed her "waity Katie"), and went to university together. Catherine is six months older than William.
Royal blood aside, they are equals.
They prioritise their relationship. They spent a week together at the Maldives while George stayed with grandma, and William gives Kate all the support Diana once so desperately craved.
"He chose very well, she is perfect princess material," says the Daily Express royal correspondent Richard Palmer. "She is very elegant, and very stable. They both seem good for one another."
ALICE SPRINGS put its best foot forward that historic day in 1983, when Prince Charles, Princess Diana and Prince William began their six-week Australian tour.
After shaking clammy hands and swatting flies on the tarmac, they were driven to the comfortable, if velure-heavy Gap Hotel, which had been nicknamed the Alice Palace for the occasion.
They checked into rooms 303 and 305, and presumably left William with his two nannies before creeping through a gap in the wire fence to spend the afternoon sunbaking beside a local car dealer's pool.
William and Catherine's 10-day trip might sound luxurious in comparison, but they have their own challenges to deal with, the most difficult being a global audience, celebrity culture and a 24-hour news cycle.
While Diana faced intense media scrutiny in her final years, she never had to contend with the voracious appetite of the internet.
News sites shared around the published pictures of Kate, William and George minutes after they were taken, particularly in America, where the couple is adored without any of the cynicism they face in Britain.
"There was less obsession with celebrity in (1983)," says Rayner. "Now (William and Kate) are celebrities as well as members of the royal family.
"They are A-listers; they outshine even most of the biggest Hollywood stars. How much of it is people who are fans of the royals and how much of it is people who are fans of celebrity, it's hard to say."
"Prince William is very headstrong," says Rayner. "He has his own ideas about how things should be done. If he says this is the way we are going to do it, it's very hard to argue with him."
Again, William has learned from the mistakes of his parents and grandparents. When the Queen and Prince Philip toured Australia in 1954, they were here for 58 days.
They arrived by ship and traversed the country by road and un-airconditioned rail, following an itinerary that Truth newspaper described as "nonsensical and unpardonable" in its pace.
The Cambridges' tour has been a relaxed one, even by today's standards. When Charles and Camilla travel, they have eight engagements a day; during this tour, the royal couple had two or three.
There have been no formal events, such as state dinners or balls. In Sydney and Canberra, Catherine was able to duck home and see George between appearances, and they only spent one night away from him.
"I think that's the main way you see William having influence over this tour," says Richard Palmer.
"I got the impression they don't want to be taking George out on walkabouts, introducing him to lots of people on the street, that might be too much for him. They have arranged the tour so they can be with him most nights; usually on a royal tour it's common to move from city to city."
"There's a bit of a PR strategy where they don't want to over-expose her. William and Kate together as a couple are a hugely valuable commodity, and if they were out every day, that would lose some power." Australians have been captivated by the princess, but from a global perspective the headline act of this tour was a baby boy.
"It feels quite historic," says Rayner. "It's the first time since 1983 that it's happened. George is the royal family's not-so-secret weapon.
"People in Britain haven't seen Prince George, so it's quite a big scoop for the Kiwis and the Aussies and I think that's quite deliberate.
"Less is more with the royal family, and they know that one 30-second photo opportunity with Prince George coming down the stairs will get enormous coverage. It's the Prince George tour."
WE might have lapped up every minute of the Cambridges' visit, but according to Rayner, Australians lag behind Canadians and New Zealanders when it comes to enthusiasm for royalty.
"The Canadians are mad for the royal family," he says. "You don't really feel that anybody there dislikes them.
"You don't really feel that when you go to New Zealand or Australia, either. But you do have that element of republican protest."
"The latest opinion poll seems to suggest that even Australians are coming into the fold," says Palmer.
Their visit has indeed been, as Palmer put it, a "bit of glitter" to brighten up our news bulletins. But now they are gone and Australian taxpayers are left with the bill, was it worth it?
"Some of our country's most famous tourism attractions have provided perfect backdrops for images beamed around the world," he says.
Analysts estimate the visit could drive up tourism spending by $50-$60 million from Britain alone, while search data from booking website trivago.com.au suggests a 41 per cent increase in interest in destinations visited by the royal couple.
But the Australian Republican Movement doesn't.
"We have a warm sense of friendship and affection for the UK and, of course, for these celebrity visitors from the UK and there's no doubt the relationship is one we want to have," says spokesman David Morris.
"It doesn't any longer serve a purpose as representing Australia; the royal family represents Brand Britain."
When Charles, Diana and William visited in 1983, then prime minister Bob Hawke was hoping Australia would become a republic by 1988. He even wanted Charles to be the first governor-general, a proposition that reportedly appealed to the prince.
More than 30 years later, the monarchy's place in Australia is as strong as ever. After this tour, it is likely to be stronger.
"I am sure the opinion polls will be affected by this visit," says Rayner. "It's part of the reason they come. Every time there's a big royal tour it keeps those numbers down in terms of people who would like a republic. They're a benign bunch. It's difficult to dislike them."
Yet even if we welcome the institution, individual royals cycle in and out of favour, as Diana, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Edward, Prince Charles and even the Queen can attest. Public adulation is ephemeral.
"At the moment it's Prince Andrew who's struggling to get any positive publicity," says Rayner. "Prince Harry has had his spell and I am sure at some point in the future William and Kate will go through a phase where they are not so popular."
That's difficult to imagine. In Australian eyes at least, the affable prince, beautiful princess and chubby princeling can do no wrong.

Thank you for this recipe!
Yum! Not only was this recipe great on quail, but we loved the spicy and garlicy marinade so much, I used it on some boneless skinless chicken thighs and broiled them. They turned out wonderful as well. Thanks for posting this one - it's a keeper.
The quail looked beautiful but the marinade over powered the delicate flavor of the quail. I marinated them overnight perhaps if they had only been in the marinade for a couple of hours it would not have been so strong. The marinade has excellent flavor and I would use it on chicken just not on quail. Sorry Jan I love your recipes but this one was not for me

There is barely a dry eye in the house as an autistic boy dances his way into the hearts of the audience in tonight's Britain's Got Talent.
Eleven-year-old Jamie tells the judges on the talent show that he also had problems with his legs when he was younger.
He says: "Before I started dancing I had orthopaedic boots and splints up my back and my legs because I used to walk on my tiptoes a lot.
"When I started dancing, my tendons just got looser and looser until I never had to wear them any more." Judge Michael McIntyre asks if he is at school and Jamie replies: "My mum is home schooling me because I'm autistic."
As he performs at the audition to huge cheers from the crowd, mum Sheila cries backstage and show host Ant McPartlin admits: "I'm going as well here."
Also on the ITV1 programme from 8pm are saucy variety act Girls Roc and catsuit-wearing violinist Alexandra.
Novelty act Nathan, 21, spreads it on thick by making a picture of Michael's face out of toast and Marmite.
Judge Amanda Holden says: "You love it or hate it – I love it." She also says Simon Cowell should sit on a throne when he returns to judge the live finals.
