TIP: click each question to see the answer.
Where can I find the current schedule of event cities and dates?
Click here to visit
our event page for current tour information.
How does Women of Faith select the event cities?
There are a number of factors that go into deciding where to hold an event. The most obvious need is a venue that will hold enough women, but there are many other things we take into consideration, such as proximity to other events, professional teams' schedules, etc.
Can you make an announcement for me at an event?
We are delighted when women choose to celebrate special occasions at our events. However, due to the number of announcements that must be made in order to keep the event flowing smoothly it is extremely rare that we have the opportunity to make birthday, anniversary, or other personal announcements and still stay true to all that God has called us to accomplish over the weekend. Thank you for understanding.
I lost something at an event. What do I do?
All found objects are turned in to the event venue. Please contact the facility and ask for their Lost and Found department. If you lost a credit/debit card, contact your credit card company or bank immediately and inform them your card has been lost.
Is this event available in Spanish?
Yes! Live, simulcast translation is provided via radio broadcast. Those who prefer Spanish may bring their own listening device with headphones or check one out from the limited number available at Guest Services; the frequency will be announced on the JumboTron at the event. No special seating is necessary for Spanish translation.
Is sign language interpretation provided?
Yes! A special section is set aside for those requiring sign language interpretation. Please be sure to request this section when you register.
What should I wear to Women of Faith?
There is no dress code but for your own comfort we recommend the following:
Comfortable Shoes. We love a good pair of heels as much as the next girl, but bear in mind that you will be walking, standing in lines, and most likely climbing steps, so choose your footwear accordingly.
Layers. It is extremely difficult to regulate the temperature in large spaces like arenas and auditoriums. A light jacket or long-sleeved shirt can make a big difference to your comfort.
A Smile! If you can't manage to bring one with you, we'll give you at least one before you leave.
Is there a quiet place I can go to pray at the event?
A room will be set aside for those who need a quiet place to pray. If you're interested in serving as a prayer room volunteer, please contact
Debbie Stuart
Do you provide child care?
No, the large-scale setting and crowds make that impractical. We do offer a room for nursing mothers.
Are seats reserved or general admission?
Most of our events have reserved seats, but some are general admission. Please see the event page for your city's event for more information on the seating at your event.
Registration & Prices
TIP: click each question to see the answer.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major debit/credit cards are accepted for both online and phone registration.
Can I register at the box office the day of the event?
Yes, as long as the event is not sold out.
How much does it cost to attend a Women of Faith event?
That depends on which event you wish to attend and where you want to sit. Visit
and select your desired event to see pricing options.
Why do I have to go to Will Call for my registrations?
Usually this is because there is not enough time between your registration and the event to ensure that your registration will arrive in time. For faster service, please bring your printed confirmation email with you.
When will I get my registration packet in the mail?
You may expect it 2-4 weeks prior to your event date.
Are there opportunities for volunteers?
We need the services of several hundred volunteers at each event. Volunteers either attend the event free of charge or earn free registrations for another. Learn more about volunteering at a Women of Faith event—including how to sign up—in the
Volunteer section
Can I bring my child? Is there a reduced rate for children?
Girls in their teens frequently attend and enjoy the events, however the length of the sessions and the arena setting are not ideal for young children. We encourage you to make other arrangements for younger children so you will be able to enjoy the program uninterrupted. A room will be available for nursing mothers at the event. Children under 2 years of age will be admitted to the event without a ticket provided they sit on a guest's lap and do not occupy a seat. Any child 2 years of age and older will require a ticket; there is not a reduced rate for children.
If I can only come to part of the event, do I have to pay full price?
Yes. We do not offer partial registration, however some women share their registration with another who can attend the part of the event she cannot.
Why is there a Service Fee?
In most, if not all, of our venues, we are charged a fee for each person in attendance. This small fee partially offsets that cost so we can continue to spread the message of God's love and grace to as many people as possible.
Speakers & Artist
TIP: click each question to see the answer.
I want show my talent/my friend's talent at an event. How do I go about that?
We appreciate your desire to share your gift with others. However, our talent is booked well in advance and our events are structured in such a way that we do not have time to add segments and still stay true to all that God has called us to accomplish over the weekend. We pray God will guide you every step of the way as you pursue opportunities to use the gifts He's given you.
Will I be able to get an autograph from the speakers/artists?
In most cases, speakers and artists will be available during the break following their message/concert to sign books, CDs, etc.
Where can I find out more about the speakers/artists?
You'll find more information about our current speakers and artists in each the
event information page
for each city.
Food & Drink
TIP: click each question to see the answer.
What type of vendors are at the arena?
This varies by facility. Please check the Web site for your event's venue for information.
How long is the lunch break?
Please see your
city's event page
for the schedule of that event.
What if I have a medical condition that requires a special diet?
Most arenas say (on their Web sites) they will make exceptions to the "no outside food or drink" rule for medical conditions. You will need to contact the arena directly to request an exception. We recommend you get it in writing so you'll have something to show the security guard at the door when you arrive.
Can I bring food/drinks with me?
Unfortunately, virtually all facilities forbid bringing outside food and drinks into their building. If you want to pack a something to leave in your car for tailgating/snacks during breaks, that's just fine. If you want to bring an empty water bottle to fill at a water fountain inside, that's probably fine, too. (Clear bottles are recommended.) Other goodies are banned. Sorry! Those rules are outside our control.
Are box lunches available? What is in the box lunch?
Please see your
city's event page
for more information about box lunches at your event.

and a Volunteer Coordinator will respond to your email.
What about parking, hotel and travel expenses for volunteers?
Volunteers are responsible for any parking fees, hotel and travel expenses.
Several friends and I are volunteering together – will our seats be located together?
Each volunteer will have a seat in the arena.
Where will my seat be located?
We make every effort to provide excellent seats for our volunteers, but sometimes we are restricted by a variety of factors, such as building size, total attendance, production issues, etc. Your volunteer seat will most likely be located close to where you are volunteering.
May I sign up my friends to volunteer?
No. Each person must individually apply to volunteer. This ensures that they have read and understood their volunteer commitment and responsibilities and have agreed to them.
Please encourage your friends to apply to be a volunteer!

TIP: click each question to see the answer.
What does Women of Faith believe?
Women of Faith is a Christ-centered organization with a Biblical world-view. We believe the Bible is the only inspired Word of God, breathed into existence by Him and inerrant in its revelation. We believe there in only one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that God has revealed Himself through Creation, history and the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. We believe humankind is separated from God through sin/rebellion and can only be reconciled into a right relationship with Him by putting our faith in the perfect/sinless life, substitutionary death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, we believe we are saved by divine grace alone, that there's nothing we can do to justify/save ourselves. We also believe that after salvation, the Holy Spirit indwells believers and enables us to grow in our knowledge and understanding of God's love and therefore to live in a way that honors Him. Finally, we believe the Bible encourages unity among followers of Christ, corporate worship (church), Bible reading, prayer, community and compassionate care for the poor.
What denomination is Women of Faith?
Our mission is to encourage women and teens from all walks of life to grow in an understanding of God's love and grace, faith and spiritual maturity through a relationship with Jesus Christ. All women are invited to attend, regardless of age, race, religious background, or lack of religious background. We are purposefully broad in welcoming every woman to our events, no matter where she is in her journey of faith. The gospel message is given at each event. We understand that denominational ties are important to many people. However, we've found that it's best to focus on our common beliefs in Jesus and His saving grace rather than our differences.

Can I donate money to Women of Faith? Is it tax-deductible?

What is a Women of Faith Simulcast?
Simulcasts offer Women of Faith an opportunity to expand the Women of Faith event experience that many of you experienced as ticket holders into venues and churches across the nation. There are cities across the world that will not have the opportunity to host a live Women of Faith event due to logistics and travel schedules of our speakers and guests.

What happened to my image/avatar?
We recently upgraded our website; while the web address (womenoffaith.com) remains the same, a lot of things moved behind the scenes. If you've ever moved to a new home, you know that something inevitably gets lost or left behind in the process. In our recent move, the images that had been uploaded by members of the Women of Faith Community 'fell off the truck' and did not make it to the new place. You'll need to upload another image (or the same one, if it's still your favorite) to the new site . . . maybe you can consider it an opportunity to freshen up your online look!
How do I leave comments on the blog? / Why can't I leave comments on the blog anymore?

OK I am BURSTING with excitement to show you these. Not sure what it is, but I just find these things SOOOO CUTE!!
I have been noodling over what I can do with these full-sized Hershey candy bars for a few weeks. I finally decided to deck them out in a Santa suit. I got lots of inspiration for these on the web…so I cannot take credit. There are lots of great versions out there, but I pulled most of my inspiration from Wanda's creation on her blog. Thanks Wanda for sharing these, they are great!
Similar to the hot cocoa ones I did a few weeks back, these too are "sliders". When you untie the ribbon & pull…a candy bar comes out!
The ends are glued shut & I used a paper crimper tool to finish off the ends. I got that idea HERE from Dawn's video.
- Red Cardstock = 6″x6″ (scored @ 1/2″, 3.25″)
- White Cardstock = 6″ x 2.25″, punch edges with SU! Scallop Border Punch
- Black strip (Santa's Belt) is 3/4″ wide
- I cut the belt buckle using Paper Doll Dress Up (buckle for Pilgrim hat, then I just trimmed the belt part off) – set to Real Dial Size ON at 1 inch.
- Black circles (buttons) are 1/2″ circles.
- I punched the hole for ribbon right through the top button with my Crop-a-Dile!
Thanks for checking these out! I hope I left enough info to help you make your own. If you follow Dawn's instructions – the dimensions are pretty good to get the basic concept of the slider down.
I have LOTS more to show you this week…getting ready for my big fair this Saturday, EEK!

Justin Bieber's really good to his fans.
The more I know about Justin Bieber the more I think he's a sweetheart. I think I maybe what I thought was just a virus is actually Bieber fever? I thought I was immune to it because I'm 26, but apparently not.
Anyway, a whole shit ton of his fans were hanging out on the street outside his hotel room, and because he's young enough to not be completely exhausted by fame yet, he stepped out onto the balcony and gave an impromptu performance of Boyfriend through a megaphone.
Everything about this video is super cute, not gonna lie.

The latest issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy performed a global quantitative assessment of the colorectal polyp burden in familial adenomatous polyposis by using a web-based tool.
Dr Patrick Lynch and colleagues from Texas,USA developed a global quantitative tools of the familial adenomatous polyposis colorectal adenoma burden.
The team posted videos on treatment before and after celecoxib for 6 months, to an intranet with an interactive site for scoring.
Global adenoma counts and sizes were scored from videos by using a novel Web-based tool.
Baseline and end-of-study adenoma burden results were summarized by using 5 models.
Correlations between pairs of reviewers were analyzed for each model.
Interobserver agreement was high for all 5 measures of polyp burden.
The research team reported that both polyp count and polyp size had better interobserver agreement than measures based only on polyp count.
The measure in which polyp counts were weighted according to diameter had the highest interobserver agreement.
Dr Lynch and team conclude, "Treatment reduced the polyp burden by these measurements in 70% to 89% of patients."
"This novel, web-based polyp scoring method provides a convenient and reproducible way to quantify the global colorectal adenoma burden in familial adenomatous polyposis patients and a framework for developing a clinical staging system for familial adenomatous polyposis."

Long-time beer drinker Ross Lewis casts his eye over drinks from here and abroad.
Catch up with other drinks on The Sip Archive
Somewhere along the line Australia claims Cougar Bourbon as one of its own.
Sure, the bourbon is made in Indiana and exclusively shipped here to an overseas-controlled CUB.
But Australia is the only place that sells the whiskey with the green label so there is a fondness for the drop.
So it is with some pride that the country has celebrated a recent honour for the bourbon.
According the Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, the arbiter of good drinks of the distilled kind, Cougar is a more preferred beverage than Jack Daniel's or Jim Beam.
Murray's guide rated Cougar at 95 points, above the Beam at 93.5 points and the Jacks at 92 points.
So the brand has rejoiced in the mark by launching its first marketing campaign in five years.
Cougar also has a new, hip flask-style, bottle that has already hit the shelves. It fits in with the rule that Cougar is aged in charred oak barrels for at least five years.
That's good news because Australia is the No.2 world market for bourbon with the highest per capita consumption.
The makers of Cougar are trying to convince consumers to go "Straight Up" with the company's new marketing series.
But CUB will continue to produce its Cougar Bourbon and Cola or Dry plus its Cougar XS and Cola ready to drink items.

Arriving in Freetown in a dark storm

However, we arrived safely in Freetown, Sierra Leone on Saturday night at around 10.30pm. This was a little later than expected because of a delay in Dakar, Senegal, apparently due to the president of Senegal deciding that he wanted to take off at the same time as us.
After arriving at Lunghi airport and passing through immigration ( an "interesting" experience it was a further 10 mins along the main airport road (dirt track) to the "Hovercraft port" i.e
There is rarely any electricity in Freetown so we saw little on the night we arrived but as we woke in the apartment we are sharing with 2 retired English accountants and a retired HR Director from BP in Holland (sometime it hard to escape work, no matter how far you wander!) we had the most amazing view of Freetown Bay. By this time it was Sunday morning and as the apartment was next door to a Pentecostal Church we had our very own Gospel music concert for most of the morning.
The first two weeks in Sierra Leone is spent on "in country training" on culture, security, politics etc. The incoming volunteers appear to be a good bunch of people from a wide range of backgrounds and countries, UK, USA, Kenya, and Philippines etc
The people of SL are amongst the friendliest I have known, everyone says hello and wants to talk and they really seem to appreciate what the VSO and other development workers are doing.
A week later After a week or so we are beginning to get used to the heat and much of the training is very helpful if somewhat long. The stuff on the history of Sierra Leone and their culture is very interesting especially when you realise that, whilst they have recently held democratic elections, the Chiefs and the Secret Societies still have a huge influence on what goes on (apparently it is best to keep on the right side of the Chiefs and stay the hell away from the secret societies! Generally speaking we are pretty bored with the training and just want to get on with the job.
On arrival we were give an allowance to set ourselves up with essential equipment, food etc
We have been to the beach once since we have been here and have been to several restaurants, Vietnamese, African, and Pizza and are making the most of it as things will be very different when we get to Bo.
Leaving for Moyamba
It usually takes about 8-9 hours to travel the 150 miles to Bo as the roads are so bad but we also have to drop two volunteers of in Moyamba which is about halfway there. An added concern fro the journey is that "Clive's law" has come into force and I have an attack of diarrhoea the night before the journey and spend most of the night in the bathroom before getting up at .00am.
We are supposed to leave at 6 but eventually leave Freetown at 7.00. Thankfully, copious hits of Imodium keep the stomach problems under control for the journey but nothing to eat for the day (One of my personal objectives for this year was to lose weight and I seem to be well on track so far)
The drive through the town is something else! Considering SL, according to the UN, is the world's second poorest country, it sure has a lot of cars. After around 2 hours we leave the environs of Freetown and hit the tarmac highway which last for around 10 miles and then it is bone shaking dirt track pretty much all the way to Bo.
The trip up country takes us through some pretty amazing and varied scenery, savannah, hills, rainforest, bamboo forests, rice paddies etc. It is really sad to see the burnt out villages along the way, a remnant of the civil war. Many are now being rebuilt and it is easy to pick these out as they have straw roofs rather than the preferred corrugated iron. Most of the walls in the village house are built of mud and straw, only the wealthy can afford concrete.
As we arrive in Moyamba to drop off Victoria, a HR Consultant (I told you it was difficult to escape work!) and Dale, who is working on an HIV/AIDS project it is our first sight of a Sierra Leonean town outside to the capital. Moyamba is very spread out and it takes us some time to find the house where Victoria and Dale will be staying. We finally find it next to stream (from where they will apparently get their water)
Onwards to Bo
After lunch (not something I dare risk yet) we leave for the final leg to Bo. On the way the 4x4 support vehicle has a fuel blockage and the driver Bernard, has to fix this and then drive the remainder of the way on full choke - good job he has plenty of spare fuel. We pass through lots more villages as we approach Bo and see lots of school kids walking the miles between the villages as the leave school for the day - all are waving and genuinely seem pleased to see us (or perhaps we are just a novelty).
We finally arrive in Bo around 6.00 only to find that our house is not ready for us to occupy! Just what we need after a day like today!!!
a few days later and still no house!! More to follow.....

1. Bridgemen guard standing in a tight arc on the 50, tearing off their shawls and tossing them to the ground in front of them.
2. A couple of corps have done this in the last few years....
Drums and horns go silent while the whole guard snaps their silks around 180 degrees...love that sound.
The tops:
Phantom '05 - everything that Sage did from the silks to the costumes to the movement IMHO was the most complete guard routine I have ever seen put on the field.

I think the guard stuff during the Pines Of Rome Star show was pretty awesome.
There's also a few rifle sections that stand out - most notably Anaheim, SCV and of course The Blue Stars for their uniforms alone.
But way before that there were the young women in St. Joseph Patron Cadets who ( I believe ) in 1966 were the first to actually twirl their flags as part of the show ...
That was pretty awesome for the time.

Old school, but the classic Rockford File (and all it's variations, especially the 27 incarnations) still kills it. I wish a corps would bring it back.
Yep Rockford File was legendary in those days and way cool.

You mean the '78 rifle line, pulling off that shapeless cover-up to reveal those Blues Clues Halloween costumes? Sorry, not one Hoffman's more inspired visual concepts,imo. To be honest, I'm wondering how Bobby talked those girls, at least a few of whom were hard-nosed Bayonne kids from the St. Andrew's era, into wearing those things.
1. Bridgemen guard standing in a tight arc on the 50, tearing off their shawls and tossing them to the ground in front of them.
Bridgemen had a great corps that year. But if you're talking capes as a high-impact guard effect, I'd have to go with Dutch Boy '88's opening statement. Definitely more wow factor than the teddy bear outfits.

BECKLEY – A 24-year downtown tradition is wrapping up another successful year with a crowd of hundreds.
The annual Fridays in the Park in downtown Beckley welcomed its last crowd for live music and food this afternoon.
The long-time Raleigh County tradition highlights local performers, vendors, and offers a fun hangout for locals to enjoy the weather.
Fridays at the Park runs from May to August and officials are already looking forward to another summer in 2015. And you can expect more of the same.
"You know if it's not broke don't fix it," says Beckley Events Director, Jill Moorefield, "And it's been working out for years and so we are looking forward to another great year next summer."
Moorefield adds there's still one more gathering – without the music – at the park next week
"What's left for this year is our Kids Classic festival out at Lake Stephens this weekend, runs through next weekend, that will be uptown (too)."
The Kids Classic runs through September 7. The parade in downtown starts on Saturday at 11 a.m.

As the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey looms ever closer, a new production video has hit giving us some insight into the production's nerve-wracking, hair-pulling last-minute rush to complete the film mere days before its initial release.
The video blogs posted by director, Peter Jackson have been satiating fans jonesing for some Shire action with a side of Lembas bread since the production of the film trilogy began in early 2011. While the film is set to hit the production's native country of New Zealand in just a few days on November 28, non-Kiwi fans still have a little while to go until the wide release on December 14. Thus, there's plenty of useful goodies for those who won't get to see the film for nearly three long weeks.
Until then, enjoy the latest entry into Peter Jackson's behind-the-scenes odyssey featuring a few new tidbits like footage of giant dwarf-eating trolls speaking with cockney accents, gratuitous goblin-ganking, and the fascinating fundamentals of digital beard mechanics.

Central have kept their unbeaten record over the Bay of Plenty Indians thanks to two half-centuries by Peter Woods and Cameron Payne.
The top-order batsman were in scintillating form in oven-like temperatures at Smallbone Park at the weekend.
In temperatures which reached into the 30s, Central were asked to bat first after losing the toss.
The Central batsmen went about their task with vigour and looked to have the reading of the pitch and the Indian bowlers.
Woods, who has been showing some nice form with the bat this season, led by example - the captain top-scored with a well-struck 54. Payne was equally impressive, compiling a solid innings of 53.
The pair were helped by fellow top-order batsman Kane Spiers who chipped in with a quickfire 23.
If Central were guilty of one thing it was not accelerating the innings. At one point the side were 174/3 in the 45th over and looked on track to score in the region of 270. But to the credit of the Indian team, who never gave up, and their bowling attack, who kept chipping away, they managed to restrict the side to 229 all out in the 47th over.
Prashant Dhanjee and Ajit Shetty were the best of the bowlers, both with 3/30, and Charoan Bariar contributed with 2/40.
In the past, the Indians have been known to flounder when chasing a total, but although they lost a couple of quick wickets, at one stage late in the innings a 62-run partnership between Charan Bariar and Jayvant Danjee made the side look likely of chasing down the target.
But when Bariar was adjudged lbw to a ball looking like it was going down leg, it was the beginning of the end and the side were eventually bowled out for 177.
Top-scorers for the Indians were Bharat Popli with 70 not out, Bariar with 21, and Dhanjee with 24.
Meanwhile, in the other rounds of the Williams Cup, Greerton set an impressive target of 312/5 against Mount Maunganui with Brett Hampton striking a majestic 125. He was joined in the runs column by Cameron Neal (62), Elliott Timoti (52) and Suhkdeep Sidu (31). The Mount's best bowler was Brian Jurisich with 2/59.
The Mount had little answer to Greerton's slogfest and were bundled out for just 88. The Mount's wickets were shared among Campbell Thomas (4/24), Murray Jarvis (2/4), Hampton (2/21) and Sidu (2/39).
Cadets were too strong for Tauranga Boys' College. Batting first, Cadets compiled 221, Ben Christensen top-scoring with a beautifully struck 107. He was joined by Josh Evemy who got a solid start, hitting 23.
The best of the bowlers for Tauranga were Henry Conway, who grabbed five wickets, and Mark Orchard, helping out with 2/43.
Tauranga could muster only 138 in their run chase, with Alex Oakley top-scoring with 43, backed up by Tom MacRury (34) and Gareth Wallace (21).
Cadets' bowler Sean Davey was unplayable, snaring three wickets for no runs in his spell. Ben Christensen picked up 3/31 and Scott Steward 2/42.
East Bay United's target of 110 was never going to be enough against a fired-up Te Puke side. Dean Butterworth was the best of the United batsmen scoring 28, with Stephen Ford (25) and Alex Yates (23) the only other two batsmen to get a start. United were troubled by some tight bowling from Mitch McCann (2/14), Josh Dwight (2/28) and Luke Erikson (2/28).
Te Puke managed to run down the total, scoring 112/7 with McCann top-scoring with 23. Ford was the best of the United bowlers with 3/30.

Incorporeal is still free for your Kindle – through February 18th.
I've completed edits for In the Flesh and I hope the book will be available very very soon.
In other news, the rights to three books have reverted to me -
Beauty and the Feast
Daughters of Persephone, Book One Exile, Book Two Return
Daughters of Persephone, Book Three Reborn, Book Four Red Demon
I'm happy about this new challenge. I'll be working on re-writes and covers.
While I'm working, I can't seem to stop this song from playing in my head:
I Will Always Love You, written by Dolly Parton, and performed by Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard. This scene is so haunting in retrospect.

EuroVelo 7
- realised
- not_realised
- planned
The northernmost point of the EuroVelo network is located here, on top of a 307-metre high cliff on the northern Norwegian island of Magerøya. Plan your trip and try to reach the North Cape between the 13th May and the 29th July and you will benefit from the Midnight Sun and from surprisingly hot temperatures (20°C) just below the Arctic Circle - an amazing experience.

The itinerary of EuroVelo 7 – Sun Route passes through the most North western region of Finland: Enontekiö municipality. Here you can cycle alongside herds of reindeers in this wild area of Finnish Lapland where the local Sami people have always practiced reindeer's husbandry. Between Sweden and Norway, this region is famous for its attractive mountainous landscapes and for having the highest occurrence of Northern Lights in Finland - brave cyclists can enjoy it on average two nights out of three if they reach the region during the dark months of winter.

On cyclists' way towards the sun is the city of Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden. This city is located just in front of its "sister city" Copenhagen and they form together the Oresund region, the most populated area of Scandinavia. The city is really cyclists friendly and is worth a stay before joining Denmark and leaving Scandinavian soil. The different attractions of the city such as its museums the stay really enjoyable.

The section of EuroVelo 7 – Sun Route along southern Italy's western coast is full of attractions. Archeological sites (including Pompei and Herculanum), the city of Napoli, wonderful beaches and sumptuous palaces can all be found here. Perhaps the jewel amongst all these attractions is the Amalfi coast which has been designed both by nature and human activities for thousands of years. The breathtaking scenery composed of natural areas, small fishing villages as well as grand architectural marvels make this a true 'must see'. Photo credit :dgavrile
Moens Klint is a unique place to experience the blue sea, the green forests and the famous white cliffs of the island Moen.
Reichstag, Berlin, Germany
The Reichstag building was constructed to house the Reichstag, parliament of the German Empire. It was opened in 1894 and housed the Reichstag until 1933, when it was severely damaged in a fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse. The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on 3 October 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by internationally renowned architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag. The roof terrace and dome of the Reichstag Building offer an incomparable view of Berlin's parliamentary and government quarter.
The traditional point of arrival of Via Romea Francigena is Rome, the Italian Capital and also the city of the Holy See. After recovering from their exertions with meals of pasta, cyclists will have to plenty to visit in this lively city. The city of Romulus and Remus is full of monuments including the Coliseum, the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon from Ancient Rome, the Papal Palace and the Sistine Chapel in Vatican, the famous Trevi fountain and so much more. You'll soon see why it's known as the Eternal City. Photo credit: Bert Kaufmann
Upon reaching Malta, cyclists will almost certainly have found the sun - it averages 300 days of sunshine per year! While Malta and its neighbor Gozo form the smallest EU member state, they contain three UNESCO sites and visitors will find numerous otherthings to do, such water sports, hiking, visiting the exciting city of Valetta, sampling the great Mediterranean cuisine and of course…relaxing on the islands'many sunny beaches! Photo credit: Christian
The Danish capital city is known throughout the world for the large numbers of cyclists and therefore people arriving in the city by bike will be well catered for. The city's name comes from "merchants' harbour" and its setting on the Baltic Sea makes it a very pleasant destination for a stop. Using the cities' bike lanes, cyclists can admire the streets of the old town, the royal palaces as well as the famous mermaid - the symbol of the city thanks to the children's author Hans Christian Andersen.

When following EuroVelo 7 – Sun Route through Austria, cyclists must definitely stop in Salzburg – the city of Mozart! The fourth-largest city in Austria has a wonderful cultural heritage and has been listed as a UNESCO site. The combination of the Gothic-style of some of its oldest buildings, including parts of the castle overlooking the city, combined with the baroque style of the buildings designed by Italian architects during its golden age in the eighteenth century, reflect the city's importance as a meeting point on Northern and Southern European cultures.

Děčín Castle, CZECH REPUBLIC
The château of Děčín overlooking the town with an impressive rose garden is the last stop at the Czech-German border and also a gateway to the cross border national park Bohemian-Saxonian Switzerland National Park.
Capital of the Czech Republic and one of most beautiful cities in the world, Prague is famous for its large castle complex, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with its remarkable astrological clock as well as the winning combination of lots of fantastic architecture and the wonderful setting on the Vltava (Moldau) river. Whilst you are there try out the world famous Czech beer! Photo credit: NunoDantas

The number of households that now can send emails, shop online and watch YouTube videos soared in Ohio in the past 30 months, a new report shows.
Nearly 87 percent of Ohio households have access to high-speed Internet service, according to a survey released this week by Connect Ohio, a group that promotes Internet access. That figure is 25 percentage points higher than in a similar survey taken in October 2011 and is better than the national average of 78.6 percent.
Nearly 99 percent of Ohio households have access to the slower broadband service with a download rate of 768 kilobytes per second.
Availability doesn't necessarily mean households buy the service, but in Ohio, 72 percent do. That rate slightly surpasses the national average of 70 percent, Connect Ohio officials said.
The results — in particular, the 25 percentage-point improvement in access to service — are good, said Stu Johnson, executive director of Connect Ohio.
The increase "is evidence of Ohio's providers investing in increased capacity," Johnson said. " There's been tremendous investment from all of our (telecommunications companies) and service providers — AT&T, Frontier, Century Link."
Between 2011 and 2013, for instance, AT&T invested more than
$250 million in its wireless and wired networks in the Columbus area alone.
However, the progress has come in providing faster Internet speeds in areas already served, he notes. "The percentage of Ohioans with less than (768 kilobytes) availability remains unchanged," Johnson said.
Southeastern Ohio is among the areas considered underserved.
Many residents and businesses in Ohio's rural Appalachian counties still lack access to broadband Internet service, said state Sen. Joe Uecker, chairman of the Ohio broadband and technology caucus.
"Accessibility issues still exist, particularly in Appalachia," Uecker said. "Stakeholders must continue to focus their efforts on this area to promote economic development and educational opportunities in the region."
Connect Ohio's maps indicate that the county with the smallest percentage of households with broadband service available is in Appalachia — Noble County, at just
62 percent. By comparison, Franklin County has 99 percent available.
"We are a data-savvy state in our urban environments," Johnson said. "It's much easier to increase capacity than to get that initial service hooked up."
But even in urban areas, where Internet access is available, some households do without Internet access.
"It's price," Johnson said. "The non-adoption we find in Columbus is all about price. If we were to roll out a very cheap product in Columbus, we'd move the needle significantly. But we could do the same in Appalachia and wouldn't move the needle, because there, it's also about digital literacy."
Most home Internet users would find a download speed of 25 megabits per second more than adequate for their needs. At that speed, it would take less than five minutes, for instance, to completely download a feature film, according to industry statistics.
The slower 768 kilobytes per second, by comparison, would take
51 minutes to download the same movie.
Nonprofit Connect Ohio, a subsidiary of Connected Nation, has tracked the adoption of broadband technology and computer use in Ohio since 2010 and produced color-coded maps that show where high-speed Internet service is available or adopted.
Among the findings of the new study:
• Since October 2011, the number of Ohio households with access to broadband service of at least 10 megabits per second download has risen 16 percentage points, to 90 percent.
• During the same period, the number of Ohio households with access to broadband service of at least
50 megabits per second download has increased 22 percentage points to
83.7 percent.
• The lightning-fast speed of 100 megabits per second download is available to 8 percent of Ohio households, an increase of 7 percentage points since October 2011.
• Ohio ranks 22nd among states in broadband coverage, according to the National Broadband Map, which is created and maintained by the National Telecommunications and Information Agency.
This is the ninth broadband availability study released by Connect Ohio.

"I Agreed to WHAT?!" Re-envisioning License Agreements and Privacy Statements
License agreements and privacy statements are common features of software and software services, but less than 2% of the population actually read them. While many companies have little motivation to compel users to read such agreements, there are nonetheless times when it is advantageous to effectively communicate legal terms to one's user base.
In this talk, I present results from research redesigning the software license agreement process. In this work, we explored alternative interaction designs as well as new visual designs. Our most successful result, a Textured Agreement, is a visually redesigned software agreement that captures people's attention, conveys the personal relevance of the content, and increases the ease with which one can navigate and read the agreement. Results from an experimental study show that this design significantly increases reading time and is preferred by users. Furthermore, our data indicate these results are not simply due to the novelty of the design, but, rather, due to the particular set of design elements chosen. Our study also sheds light on the efficacy of providing summaries, an oft-proposed means of addressing the license agreement problem. In our experiment, we found that users read summaries, but then ignore the full agreement, a result that cautions against their use in practice.

The Cincinnati Reds made some serious offseason moves to allow them a good shot at a division crown, or at least a playoff berth.
Spring training is underway, and there are many players in Goodyear, Arizona all competing for a spot on the 25-man roster that will be headed to Cincinnati for the start of the season.
Some on the list will be obvious, while others are on the bubble and will continue to float along or burst.
Let me start this list by giving you the obvious choices, which should be expected by almost all Reds fans: Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Scott Rolen, Ryan Ludwick, Drew Stubbs, Jay Bruce, Devin Mesoraco, Ryan Hanigan, Chris Heisey, Bronson Arroyo, Mat Latos, Mike Leake, Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey, Ryan Madson and Sean Marshall.
That list is comprised of 16 players, meaning there are nine bubbles which will float on to Cincinnati, while the others will go to Louisville, one of the other minor-league squads or sent walking.

The French (Soccer) Revolution
France is falling apart.
The French national soccer team is refusing to practice, the day after striker Nicolas Anelka was sent home for failing to apologize for a profanity-laced tirade aimed at Raymond Domenech — France's coach — during the team's loss to Mexico earlier this week (Quelle insulte!).
C'est une révolution!
From ESPN:
France team director Jean-Louis Valentin says the national team is refusing to train following a dispute on the practice field.Valentin also says he has resigned from the French football federation, shouting that he was "ashamed" of the team.
The team arrived at training Sunday but a few minutes after taking the field, fitness coach Robert Duverne stormed away from an argument with coach Raymond Domenech. Duverne threw his accreditation badge to the ground after the heated discussion and walked away.
The players then boarded the team bus.
When asked about his team's refusal to play, Domenech is said to have scoffed and muttered, "Let them eat bobotie."

This is what happens when you let your mouth write a check your Octagon skills can't cash.
On Saturday night in the co-main event at UFC 170, Daniel "DC" Cormier embarrassed Patrick Cummins in a minute and 19 seconds, earning a TKO victory. Cummins was a late replacement after Rashad Evans tore up his knee 10 days before the fight.
Both men brought exceptional wrestling backgrounds into the fight, but the difference on Saturday night was DC's striking. His hand speed and punching power were just too much for Cummins. Cormier first hurt his opponent with an uppercut out of the clinch.
He never let up and continued to bomb him with hard right hands as the staggered Cummins tried to recover.
Cormier was in fantastic shape in his first fight at 205 pounds. He moved well, but still displayed the power necessary to gain advantageous positioning in the standing grapple. He quickly maneuvered himself to a position to throw the strikes that ultimately ended the fight.
Cummins and Cormier had crossed paths in their training past, and apparently the former had gotten the best of those encounters. On Saturday night, Cormier proved that practice and a real professional fight are two different things.
Trash talk from Cummins seemed to ignite Cormier. Cummins claimed to have made Cormier cry in a training session years ago. The talk was a violation of an unwritten training rule, and Cormier did not take kindly to the chiding.
He was bursting at the seams to get a chance to shut Cummins up. How confident was Cormier that he would win? Take a look at the plugger and Twitter message in this tweet:
Don't forget guys, after party at twin peaks tomorrow night. Come and hang with me. Great place , great food. DC pic.twitter.com/uuHDQlT34S— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) February 22, 2014
Before the win at UFC 170, Cormier came off a bit bland, but the emotion and mean streak that were brought out of him for this fight will do wonders for his popularity.
Per this tweet, Sherdog Rewind agrees:
That whole Cormier/Cummins thing, that's how you get a guy over. Cormier a deeper character now.— Jack (@SherdogRewind) February 23, 2014
Longtime fight fan Rosie Perez was certainly impressed. She tweeted this after Cormier's win:
Oh Snap! #Cormier is no joke! Ended it quick, nasty and mean. @dc_mma @OfficialDurkin @ufc #UFC170— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) February 23, 2014
DC has his eye on climbing the ladder at light heavyweight. Obviously, Jon "Bones" Jones is at the top of that heap. Cormier has a few guys to fight through before he can challenge the champion.
Per Mike Johnston of Sportsnet, Cormier is trying to slide into an opportunity to accelerate his ascension up the ranks.
Daniel Cormier on Jon Jones vs Glover Teixeira: "If either of those guys get hurt just insert me into the lineup." He's ready. #UFC170— Mike Johnston (@MikeyJ_MMA) February 23, 2014
It still remains to be seen whether Cormier is ready to challenge Bones. Cummins was seriously overmatched, but there is no doubt how good Cormier looked at 205 pounds. Cormier will need to beat someone a little more highly regarded at 205 before we're able to determine that.
If he continues to shine the way he did on Saturday night. Cormier could be one of the biggest stars in the UFC in 2014.
Follow me. I dig combat sports.

Here are my renderings of the Maserati Quattroporte's smaller brother, the Cinqueposti sedan. Renderings were based on Tesla Model S. I got the name Cinqueposti from cinque + posti. Cinque means five; and posti means seats in Italian.
Initially I wanted to render a Jaguar X-Type from the Tesla, as the Model S looks so similar to the Jaguar XF. But I also feel the Model S looks Maserati-esque.
Original Pictures:
Thanks! Yes, the Tesla Model S is more of a hatchback, like the Porsche Panamera. I made the Maserati Cinqueposti more sedan like 3-box profile.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
We've got the first details on the next mission-based DLC pack for Saints Row: The Third from a newly revealed set of Xbox 360 Achievements. The pack is called The Trouble With Clones and it will sell for 560 MS Points, if the Xbox360Achievements.org update is to be believed (it hasn't been wrong yet).
The 10 new Saints Row: The Third cheevos offer a possible total of 100 GS in unlocks. The tasks are nothing exciting -- kill X number of these, destroy Y number of this, finish Z mission -- but the tools you'll use sound fun. There's a Swarmitron which, based on the "Eye of the Bee-holder" Achievement title, probably shoots bees at people. You'll also get to shoot at the world with something called a "Saints Flow fireball."
The full list of Achievements can be found after the jump, but beware: one of them is a bit spoiler-y. I've also thrown in Amazon's product listing, which lays out the basic story for the next DLC pack.
- B.A.M.F. (10 GS) - Defeat 15 enemies at Technically Legal using only melee attacks.
- Public Enemy #1 (10 GS) - Destroy 45 Police and Swat Vehicles while protecting Jimmy's car.
- Weird Science (10 GS) - Complete mission 'Weird Science'.
- Eye of the Bee-Holder (10 GS) - Spray 25 rabid fans with the Swarmitron.
- Sting Operation (5 GS) - Destroy 5 Steelport Guard vehicles during mission 'Tour de Farce'.
- Tour de Farce (10 GS) - Complete mission 'Tour de Farce'.
- Supaa-Excellent! (10 GS) - Shoot down a helicopter with a Saints Flow fireball.
- Send in the Clones (5 GS) - Kill a Brute using only melee damage while under the influence of Saints Flow.
- The Johnnyguard (10 GS) - Prevent Johnny Tag from taking damage on the Magarac Bridge.
- My Pet, Monster (20 GS) - Complete all missions for "The Trouble With Clones..."
And here's the Amazon product description: "Help the Saints' biggest fan, Jimmy Torbitson, stop his Saints clone from terrorizing the city by using the new Bee Gun and unlocking the true power in Saints Flow. In the end, maybe even save a lost friend in the process."

We'll be interested to hear what Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback learns during his trip to Israel this week.
Hoback was joined by fellow Conservative MPs David Sweet and Ted Orpitz along with Liberal MPs Carolyn Bennett, John McCallum and Senator Grant Mitchell.
The trip was arranged by the Centre For Israel and Jewish Affairs, a non-partisan group that advocates on behalf of the nation to Canadian lawmakers.
In a situation where there is no black and white to all but the most ardent supporters of either side, it appears that the fix is on what they'll learn.
Shimon Fogel, CEO of the CIJA, admitted as much to The Canadian Press.
"My hope is that they will get (from) either Palestinian leadership that they meet with or the Canadian representative to Ramallah and the Palestinian Authority ... some insight into some of the other perspective," he told The Canadian Press.
"But for us the issue is very much focused on what Israel has had to endure, what precipitated this particular hot conflict and some of the underlying issues that really have to be addressed."
It's fairly obvious that there won't be a Hamas stop on this particular sightseeing trip.
The Canadian lawmakers who are in Israel are not stupid people; surely they realize that this trip can't hope to explore the multi-generational successes and failures in the region and the deeply held hostilities.
World leaders have devoted much time and effort to making inroads and failed.
In this western film, as the lawmakers take their seats in the theatre, they would do well to remember that nobody is wearing the white hat, regardless of what might appear on the screen in front of them.

There's nothing like staging a huge outdoor event to bring the rain.
Whether it's a multi-day sporting event, a fair of a music festival, putting a whole bunch of people in a confined space seems to be like a giant magnet for bad weather.
For the parade on Monday night, dark skies started to form in the hours before the event was set to start and the weather radar showed a single city-sized storm bearing down on Prince Albert just in time for the parade.
Magically, the storm took a hard turn to the southwest after leaving a few drops of rain.
A forecast with nary a cloud for the week has since changed and there is a chance of rain on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
For our friends over at the Provincial Exhibition who have put hundreds of hours into the annual extravaganza, we wish them luck.
Maybe this will be the year that the clouds continue to bear down on us, only to magically skirt the city at the last minute.
After all, this year there's a precedent.

A 55-year-old man said he was bound with duct tape and beaten with a hammer, a board, and fists during two days that he was held in the basement of a South Toledo home because he lost a pit bull that belonged to his assailants, according to police.
Last night, Jada Farthing, 30, of 556 1/2 Carlton St. was being held in the Lucas County jail on felonious assault and kidnapping charges in the case.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Robert Lawhorn, 30, of 2158 Mellwood on the same charges.
An additional suspect, a male in his 20s known to police only as "Ding-Ding" from 511 Miller St. was wanted.
The victim, Anthony Pierson, was in St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, where he is in good condition after suffering from lacerations and other wounds.
Police were called when the man arrived in the emergency room.
The man told officers his ordeal began Wednesday after he lost a pit bull that belonged to the alleged assailants.
While walking in the central city at West Bancroft and Forest Avenue, the victim said he was punched and thrown into a vehicle by Mr. Lawhorn, who took him to Ms. Farthing's basement where he was bound and tortured for two days.
The victim was released from the basement Friday and was in such pain that friends made him go to the emergency room, police said.

"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"I was very satisfied with the product I received. The colors were very vibrant and looked just like the photograph. I was able to read everything clearly over the photo and on the back of the card. Would def. recommend using wedding paper divas!!"
"the quality of the magnet is great, the print is beautiful, the colors are so vivid, the picture could be better, but thats because my picture was taken with a celphone, so the quality is not the same than one taken with a professional camera. My only complain, is that the picture on the magnet could of be bigger, the picture looks a bit small for the size of the card. In general, is a beautifuly made card, great quality."
"I ordered Save the Date magnets for my daughters wedding. They are amazing. Beautiful texture and the quality is great!!! Thank you for such a wonderful job."
"This save the date worked perfect for our engagement picture. The picture size works great with the text so it does not look "too busy" and is easy for guests to read. We chose more of a script font that matched the save the date text. Can't wait to mail them out to our guests!"
