another one i did was felton, chandler and JR for westbrook lol
association mode is so addicting (and franchise mode in madden) but i wish they would make it a little more difficult or at least improve the trade logic. lots of times you can do a trade that will leave the other team with too many good players at 1 position and nobody at another position. also the rotation logic is really flawed. i do my own rotations but all the cpu rotations are way off.
for instance if a team has 2 shooting guards, 1 is rated 79 the other is rated 77, the 79 guy will start and play over 30 minutes and the 77 guy will play like 15 minutes or less. not really logical since there isn't a big gap between the 2 guys. also they don't factor in real "sixth man" roles. also if a team doesn't have a great center they'll still play him starter minutes rather than splitting up the minutes between the backups and other power forwards.
i should have been a game developer or some kind of idea developer for video games. i actually had a general idea for a game like "the sims" a few years before it came out. i always thought it would be cool to play a game where you control peoples' lives.

Shakespeare never wrote a better comedy than As You Like It. Every note on the laugh scale is piped to perfection. Romantic conflicts? None more entertaining. Cross-dressed lover? The smartest of them all. Motley fool? The best of the lot.
The Rhode Island Shakespeare Theater (TRIST) is putting all that on display, adapted and directed by Bob Colonna into two fun-packed hours, in free performances through June 17. Since the setting is the Forest of Arden, it's being presented outdoors at the Roger Williams National Memorial (282 North Main Street, Providence).
This production opens furiously, signaling the high energy to come. Two brothers are having a heated argument that soon becomes physical. Elder brother Oliver (Ryan Hanley) had been instructed by their deceased father to see that younger brother Orlando (Patrick Cullen) is educated and otherwise provided for. Annoyed at his angry objection, Oliver arranges for a wrestler to hurt him badly — "I would as lief you break his neck as his finger" — in upcoming public competition. (Don't worry. His neck remains intact.)
Meanwhile, the duchy of the rightful Duke Ferdinand (Mishell Lilly) has been usurped by the evil Duchess Fredericka (Charlotte Markey). (Easy there, Shakespeare scholars: the names have been changed to protect the available cast members.) Although Rosalind (Kristina Drager) is the daughter of the banished duke, she has been allowed to stay at court because her best friend, Celia (Lydea Irwin), is the evil duchess's daughter.
Soon both young women find themselves in the Forest of Arden, since the duchess has grown furious at the common folk's sympathy with Rosalind. To travel safely, Rosalind dresses as a young man and they pretend that Celia is his sister. (A wonderful touch is having Irwin carry around a silver clutch purse, in a forest or not, since she is, after all, a spoiled rich girl.)
Orlando has already fallen in love with Rosalind at first sight. She isn't averse to the notion, but being a strong, independent-minded woman she has more fun with the opportunity than he does. Drager's best scene as Rosalind is when she is making fun of Orlando; in her male persona she pretends she will cure him of love for Rosalind if he will daily woo "him" as her. This recurring interplay is one of the things that raises the comedy above Shakespeare's other faraces, though Orlando fails to recognize the sweetheart merely because her long hair is under a cap. Maybe Elizabethan lovers had some kind of follicle fetish.
Mark Carter is terrific as Touchstone, deftly wielding the fool's rapier wit on such occasions as explaining to the young women how he can swear on his honor whether or not he has any. Carter extends the clowning around with physical humor that draws audience applause when he elaborates on the various ways he might murder someone. Director Colonna plays Jaques, but though the character is spoken of as "Melancholy Jaques," he isn't presented as sorrowful but rather as a wry observer of human folly. He gets to recite the seven ages of man speech, which begins "All the world's a stage/And all the men and women merely players." (It's Rosalind, though, who gets to place a familiar phrase into English parlance, when she asks Orlando, "Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?")

Read our writer's views on this property below
Its views are quintessentially Sydney, but the city's newest five-star hotel could be anywhere but Pyrmont, writes Sarah Maguire.
STANDING by the outdoor pool on the fifth floor of the Darling, it's hard to believe this is the former industrial suburb of Pyrmont. The adult guests for whom this part of the hotel is exclusive get to lie on deckchairs and lounge suites and order caprioskas from bright young things in funky uniforms. The day is steamy and the marble bar is 20 metres long, its blue tiled wall lined with shelves of liquor. The scene is so reminiscent of a tropical resort, it's a surprise to register that the building just beyond is the Pyrmont Coles supermarket.
On the night I stay, it is less than a week since the 171-room Darling, a key component of Star casino's $870 million redevelopment, welcomed its first guests on October 28. Stevie Wonder has gone home after performing at the Star's lavish official opening, held in the Darling, as has Olivia Newton-John, headline act of the soft-opening bash. I see no celebrities, even though Leonardo DiCaprio is reported to have taken over an entire floor, with his own butler and access to a jet.
But an $1800-a-night suite is enough to make anyone feel like a star. In the spirit of things that must be done when staying in such a place, I fill the spa bath. It has a floor-to-ceiling view over Pyrmont to Barangaroo and the Harbour Bridge. Molton Brown bath products with names such as purifying ambrusca and plum kadu are on standby. The scene is perfect. Yet I am unable to turn on the spa jets.
It is sure to be an operator error. The thing is, the rest of the technology has been so easy to operate, so idiot-proofed against the legions who struggle with remote controls and complex lighting systems, that I'm surprised by the glitch. People I know who have given up a long search for the right switch in their five-star hotel room and gone to bed with the light on would relish the labelling here. Switches marked "on", "off", "living" and "entry" leave no doubt as to which lights up where.
Using so-called "Control 4" technology, one remote control allows you to turn on the TV and, via icons on the screen, operate the blinds, the temperature and the lights. You can preset a range of wake-up alarms, be it the TV turning on automatically or the blinds opening themselves. I choose the latter and, sure enough, at 6.45 the next morning, they glide open to let the light slowly in.
There is an air of excitement about the Darling in these early days. The staff seem genuinely chuffed to be employed there, for reasons beyond its Australia-first hotel-room technology. Perhaps because in terms of hotels and hospitality in Sydney, the Darling is a big deal, even more so for the bigger complex of new restaurants, bars, cafes and shops of which it is part.
"I love coming to work here every day," says one staffer, who indeed can't wipe the smile off his face as he helps with my bag upon checkout, more than happy to walk all the way back to the Fairfax building with it, if I'd like.
Upon my arrival the day before, two young men in crisp blue and white shirts are at the entrance, one each to swing open the two glass doors. At the adjacent porter's desk there are three more staff carrying out luggage duties beneath a sculpture of a red swallow, two cherries in its beak, that soars spectacularly above the entrance.
Resident manager Tom Snell says the Darling wants its guests to see "a level of service they haven't seen in a long time".
"You can teach people how to work the computers," Snell says. "What you hire is the smile, the passion, the attitude."
As part of the service, each guest is shown to and around their room. In the case of the Adored suite - which sits midway in the room scale; above the Darling rooms and Jewel suites and beneath the Stellar suites and five penthouses - there is much to show off. Mine is a corner suite, the floor-to-ceiling windows running along the entrance hallway and curving around the living area and into the bedroom.
The interior design is inspired by European drawing rooms. Indeed, there is nothing to suggest the bling and neon of a casino are just next door. Everything is in neutral shades, with splashes of signature purple in the sheets, towels, even the hairdryer.
I am in my room when the turn-down service arrives. Three staff bearing chocolates troop past me and into the bedroom to arrange, just-so, the custom-dyed 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and goose-down comforter.
Outside, 11 floors below, Pyrmont office workers are making their way home. It is a workaday view of Sydney and its harbour, more gritty than the sparkling blue scene from the Park Hyatt at Circular Quay, for example - one of the Sydney hotels, along with the Four Seasons and the Observatory, that Snell nominates as the Darling's competition.
Alongside its luxury, the Darling has energy-efficient credentials: there are narrow windows that open for natural ventilation - a rarity in modern hotels - and its "leaving room" sensors mean 30 minutes after a guest has left the room, everything will automatically shut down.
Despite these features, by the end of my stay, I feel I haven't done the environment much good. How small a carbon footprint can decadence really hope to achieve? When the spa bath fails to work and I can't get the water hot enough, I guiltily take to the shower. But which one? There are three to choose from, one overhead and two on opposite walls.
Later, in the 16-room day spa - an exquisitely lit and fragrant warren - a reservoir of water is emptied over me. I am in Sydney's first hamam and therapist Ava is the real deal: she trained on the job in Istanbul 10 years ago and is instructing fellow therapists at the Darling in the ways of the Turkish bath.
Walking into the hamam, I wonder how I can bear the heat, even more so when the marble slab I'm told to lie on feels as though it's burning a layer of skin off. Then Ava begins pouring bowls of water over me and I get it. Between cooling me with the water, Ava scrubs my skin so hard with sea salt, it sometimes hurts. Then, using Turkish soap and a cotton bubble maker, she creates suds to use in a massage.
Those ablutions done, I sit up and Ava brings a bowl of grapes. An empire surely about to fall somewhere, she washes my hair in organic shampoo, massages my scalp, then brings another platter of fruit to be grazed upon at leisure.
When I walk out, it is on a cloud; I've hooked into some of that stuff that's making all the staff seem so happy. I may never step foot in an Adored suite again but the spa will be a different story.
The writer was a guest of the Darling Hotel and Spa.

Where I stayed
Garfield House Bed & Breakfast
After that history lesson I walked down to the Tourist Information Centre and asked about views of town. They told me about a short walk to get to a nearby "seat" or hill that gave a good view. It took me along the River Ericht, which divides the towns of Blairgowrie and Rattray. Along the river, there is a site commemorating Cargill's Leap. Cargill was a pastor of a local church who was wanted by the government for treason against the Church. At one point, the soldiers had him, but he jumped across the rocks over the river and escaped. It unfortunately only delayed the inevitable, as later he was captured and executed.
Along the path there were a couple of abandoned homes that were a bit creepy as I was the only human in about two miles, and it was a little dark (see pics) - they did put a little more pep in the step and I made my way along. Got to the top after about an hour of walking (short walk???) and got a couple of good views, but trees mainly got in the way. I went back down into town and drove over to the Blairgowrie Golf Club

Re: Bimini or something else?
Yes, something like that, framed hefty enough to take some wind. Thanks for that idea. I may even be able to use just the canvas part of one and create a frame to fit around the pedestal.
Re: Bimini or something else?
What you are describing is a snowblower enclosure.
You're definitely NOT talking about a bimini which is what may be throwing this thread off the rails. If it's got a spray deflection component and/or a windshield, it is a dodger.

Most bimini frames fold aft and rest angled against the backstay. Again, if you have the bimini in place for the right weather, you'll be using it..

All it needs to do is to keep wind/rain off me, at the wheel. I am thinking maybe 24" wide, ...

Re: Bimini or something else?
Mine will fold down, but only after you unzip the front section from the back, then loosen the set screw from the front posts, move that section behind the backstays, and then re-insert them into the joints and tighten back up the set screws. Not particularly quick, but I don't know why I'd want it down. It doesn't help much with rain because of the big window right in the middle for the backstays.
However, it sounds like the OP is really wanting rain shelter more than sun shelter. Maybe something like this?
Re: Bimini or something else?
I second what Travelingeasy said about protection from the sun, especially if you live in the sunny tropics. Skin cancer is just too serious to take lightly. One of the reasons I bought the boat I now own is that it came with a hard dodger and permanent bimini. The hard dodger is great to stay out of the wind and rain (and sun), makes for a great, protected place to stand watches. There is nothing more tiring than being exposed to the elements for hours on end. The hard dodger is well ventilated, with an opening hatch in the windscreen and another on the roof. The permanent bimini provides sun and rain protection for the back half of the cockpit. There is standing headroom under both the dodger and the bimini. I have windowless side and back panels I can zip to the bimini to get protection when the sun angle is low. If you can engineer the whole thing to give you standing headroom, free use of the winches and mainsheet and make it tough, you have just about the ideal setup on a cruising boat for the tropics. You won't last a day under the Brazilian sun in summer without serious overhead protection.
Re: Bimini or something else?
Why worry about making it foldable? Ours doesn't fold and doesn't get in the way, and once you have one, you wonder why you were ever thinking about stowing it away anyway.
Re: Bimini or something else?
I would love to have a full bimini enclosure where I could enjoy the cockpit in all kinds of weather. Due to our low boom and traveler position, we don't have a bimini. We have a Shadetree for at anchor and the dock and we use Pro-Tech umbrellas at other times.
Re: Bimini or something else?
I've lost three relatives and several boating friends to melanoma, all of them used sunscreen. A Bimini or Tee top may have prevented many of them from contracting this often deadly form of cancer. I wouldn't leave the dock without my Bimini ready to be deployed. As soon as the sails are set, the top is in place and it stays there until I get back to the dock. If properly installed, it shouldn't hamper any of your lines.
And one more thing. If you get one, be sure to get side and back curtains for it. More often than not the most intense sunlight comes near the end of the day, it hits you from a low angle, and it also bounces off the water right into your face. Side curtains and back curtains are the best thing since sliced bread.
All the best,
|Following this hoping for a good solution for a small boat. I wouldn't have standing headroom with my boom where it is, but I don't stand much when sailing. Any Bimini seems like it would make it very tough to go forward (small boat = climb over cabin top). I also wonder how I'd see the sails. Seems like a window large enough to see sail and masthead windex from either side of the cockpit would defeat the purpose of a Bimini. Not to mention the hassle when trailering. Guess that's why you don't see them on small boats?

I don't know why I bothered arguing with you again. I usually just laugh at you now. Guess I'm bored.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
We're you dropped on your head? Some of those defensive "stops" were because of penalty and saying they WOULDN'T have had a TD there if they don't get the lucky bounce just proves my theory about you.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
I just told you why there was no guarantee they would score a TD there. They did in fact stop Washington in the red zone last night holding them to a field goal. This is a fact. As far as the two punts in the first half neither where because of penalties. Again, just a fact.
2 stops were primarily because the Redskins dug a hole for themselves with penalties that they couldn't overcome. Oh....speaking of facts.
The fact that you keep arguing with me after I have already laid the blame for the loss at the feet of the offense is laughable.

I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
but yeah eli was 8 of 10 on 3rd and forevers that 1rst half. he kept making throws that had gruden going "my goodness". the 2nd half and imo when lockler went down, its as if we knew we had to abandon the pass game or something. eli looked completely diff with lockler and dd...but yeah 2nd half play calling, bs penalties that we never got to see on ST EVERY return on ST and when we hit their 35 (some serious bs imho)...eli looked excellent imho esp when given time and even often when he couldnt. its again, we ask too much of him imho.
whens the last time we had a big play running td? fbomb is right tho, the goal was obviously TOP to limit his possessions. it sure looked like to me washington was running on us at will and the only times we got a stop or the fumble was on a mistake from them, not our d forcing the issue...
i place the loss more on the DE's than anyone else. they did NOTHING and were the POA for washington, and they kept playing scared bc thats what they are thanks to tuck

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
In Froggy Boogie, it's naptime at the pond, but the baby frogs still want to play. Baby frogs try to be the first to hop around the pond without being seen by the adult frogs. Players guess or remember which adult frog popping eyes will freeze the baby frogs in their race.
To play, place two popping eyes in each adult frog: one blank and one marked with a baby frog on the bottom. Mix the adult frogs and place them in the middle of the table. Arrange the small water lilies around the frogs in a circle. Each player chooses one baby frog and places their piece on the big water lily. Taking turns in a clockwise direction, players roll the dice and lift one eye from the adult frog that matches the colors shown on the dice. So if the dice land on orange and red, lift up an eye from the orange and red adult frog. If the lifted eye shows a baby frog underneath, the baby frog will not move forward but stay on the water lily. The next player takes a turn. If the lifted eye is blank, the frog didn't see that baby frog, and the baby frog advances to the next water lily. That player gets to take another turn.
Froggy Boogie comes with six wood baby frogs, nine wood adult frogs with 18 popping eyes, a large wood water lily, 11 small wood water lilies, and two wood dice. The game is for two to six players.
This is a cute game that helps preschoolers with memory skills, as they try to remember which eyes have baby frogs on them and which do not. The wooden pieces give this game a classic feel that parents will appreciate. It's an easy-to-learn game that takes no more than 15 minutes to play, so kids and families will be able to play multiple rounds even if they don't have a lot of time.
Froggy Boogie is for ages 4 and up.
When placing the popping eyes in the adult frogs, make sure the positions of the eyes are alternated. All the marked eyes shouldn't be placed on the same side for all frogs, otherwise it is too easy. Mix right and left eyes between each game to renew interest.

How to Steal 80,000 Identities in One Day
Very interesting read. This could be a great way to test your disaster recovery plan with or without the knowledge of your CEO... although I don't recommend the latter.
For full story:
http://www.informit.com/guides/content. ... m=243&rl=1
Author's Note: How do you get the attention of the executives at your company if you feel the security systems are lacking? Fake a news article on a huge break in, and place it on the CEO's desk. We were asked to create such a story, and wanted to share it with you as a case study as to just how someone could Steal 80,000 Identities in One Day.
April 1st started like any other for Acme Medical Services. Patients were calling in to cancel appointments due to scheduling conflicts, staff members were alerting their managers that they couldn't come into work because they were sick, and the IT department was busy with their normal morning routine. From the perspective of Acme, all appeared normal.
However, by April 3rd, Acme's situation would be anything but normal. Administrative staff would be busy informing patients their personal data was stolen, managers would be calling their health care professionals to tell them to stay home because the offices were closed until further notice, and the IT department would be busy trying to figure out just how they had lost control of the personal information of over 80,000 of their clients. Life at Acme would be anything but normal.

Corgi club to host play day, Food Bank benefit
BOZEMAN, Mont. - On Saturday, corgi owners from across the Gallatin Valley will gather for the first event of it's kind- Corgis in the Snow Play Day.
The event will be complete with corgi races, fetching, a hot dog dig and prizes for categories like "cutest bottom" and "biggest ears."
But it's not just fun and games- play day organizer Gallatin Valley Corgi Club will collect pet food donations for families in need.
"We wanted to do good around the community" said club member and corgi owner, Tiffany Feisthamel. "We decided that the food bank would be a good place to start."
The Camera Club of Bozeman will also be at Corgis in the Snow, taking pictures for a five dollar donation to Corgi Pals- an organization that raises money for vet bills.
She and fellow member Michele Koenig said they hope to make the play day a tradition.
"We're going to try and do, I think two events a year that will benefit some organization in the community" Koenig said.
Corgis in the Snow is on Saturday at the West Paw Dog Park at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter from 1 to 3 pm.
The ladies said corgi owner or not, everyone is welcome to attend.

A Shining Gem Near Park City
Homestead Resort • Midway, UT
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Cottage King or Queen
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Park City, Utah, has always had a penchant for silver and gold. In the 19th century, it was a hot bed for miners looking to strike it rich, but for the last half century, it's the ski slopes that have sparkled most brightly. Home to countless international ski and snowboard championships as well as the training ground for America's premiere ski team, Park City is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts. But that doesn't mean the spring isn't equally alluring. From hiking and mountain biking the aspen-covered hills to soaking in the natural hot springs, the Wasatch Mountains shines year round.
The Digs
Originally built in 1886, Homestead Resort has a rich history in the Heber Valley. Only an hour from Salt Lake and 30 minutes from Deer Valley and Park City, the recently upgraded resort in Midway offers cozy cottage rooms across 19 separate buildings that are connected by scenic walkways surrounded by lush gardens and lawns. Each unit is equipped with its own entrance and a deck or patio, and all feature Sealy mattress sets with luxe satin sheets and down pillows, plus Wi-Fi and cable TV. Depending on the season, guests might want to book a tee time at the on-site par-72 golf course, which wends its way through more than 7,000 yards of well-manicured greens, fairways, water hazards, bunkers, and trees in the beautiful Heber Valley, surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains. Nearby, the spa at Homestead's sister property, Zermatt Resort, offers a European-inspired experience of skin and body treatments, plus a dry sauna, wellness center, aromatherapy steam grotto, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot tub with a cascading waterfall, and more.

Killer song by White Zombie done for the soundtrack to the Beavis and Butthead movie. The song is known for it's African/Industrial combo drum beat. Sadly this is the last song they made and released before they split in 1998.

I have two top bar hives that I started from packages in April 2012 (photo attached). I lost a nuc that I split from my stronger hive to small hive beetle infestation last summer. While the two packages kept the SHB pretty well penned up, after seeing the devastation wreaked on the nuc, I helped them by systematically ferreting the beetles out of cells and squashing themwith great pleasure--during regular inspections. I also tried a couple different trap designs which were not very successful. My wife and I will be traveling a lot this year and I am concerned that SHB could be a problem in my absence. Several local Langstroth beeks have told me they have had good success in controlling SHB with Freeman-type screen bottom oil traps. I decided to make a similar trap for my hives.
I have built a third hive (with identical dimensions to my current hives) that incorporates the screen/oil tray trap (photo attached). My plan is to put a few drops of lemon grass oil in it and transfer the bars/bees from hive #1 into this new hive when the weather warms enough placing it in the same location as the current colony. Then, retrofit hive #1 with the new trap, pressure wash it thoroughly, add LGO and transfer the bars from hive #2 into it. Then, retrofit hive #2 with the trap, pressure wash, add LGO and keep it for a future swarm/split. Is this a viable plan? Any issues with acceptance of their new homes?
I suppose an alternative might be letting the colonies in their current hives and doing alive swap out of the current solid bottom boards with prefabbed bottom traps. Somehow, I suspect that the bees may not take kindly to my removing the floor of their home with a drill and who knows what will happen from there! Besides, Im not as young as I used to be and getting down on the ground to do that wont work so well!
Any and all suggestions about how to best pull this off would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So I made some frames today, was really hoping I'd be able to make them cheaper than I could buy them.
Not sure if any one has tried this, (if you have, I'd love to hear the outcome) but I wanted to post for feedback.
I've been having trouble getting my TBH's to move horizontal (first year beek, and will not use them again next year) and want a solution for foundation-less frames that I can spin to extract the honey.
Any thoughts on the skewers in the frames? (The rigidity of the frame has increased considerable compared to a frame without them.

Jinha Lee:
Reach into the computer and grab a pixel
The border between our physical world and the digital information surrounding us has been getting thinner and thinner. Designer and engineer Jinha Lee wants to dissolve it altogether. As he demonstrates in this short, gasp-inducing talk, his ideas include a pen that penetrates into a screen to draw 3D models and SpaceTop, a computer desktop prototype that lets you reach through the screen to manipulate digital objects.

IGN cube's fanboy-favorite editor Fran Mirabella III unleashed an unwanted horse-head into the beds of many Gamecube owners. This happened when he scored Nintendo's "killer-ap" for the 2003 holiday line up - Mario Kart:Double Dash - the long awaited sequel to Mario Kart 64... with a dissapointing and medicore score of 7.9.

The sex position of choice is the during the seventies. It is like the popular '69,' but a decade later in the disco inferno we call the seventies. Like the sixty-nine, the woman lays on top of the man head-to- toe where both partners can execute oral sex to the others genitals. Make sure the woman is on top so she can use a full head and neck motion to perform her fellatio. The main difference is that the woman, while performing oral sex, sticks her finger up the guy's ass. This is due to the fact that several years after its heyday, disco and all its leisure suit glory is seen as "kinda gay." If enacted correctly, both partners will soon be climaxing with full orgasms that coincide to the beat of "That's the way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I like it (uh-huh, uh-huh.)"

I have two friends visiting from Finland in March and would like to visit New Zealand. They are particularly interested in Lord of the Rings scenery. Do you recommend the North or South island? We have six to eight days and would like to hire a car. Is that enough to visit both islands? Can you recommend a possible itinerary?
- N. Bringolf, Blacktown
Wild and wonderful, South Island is the postcard side of the country. To sample the forests and mountains that featured in the Rings series, South Island is where you want to be. Eight days is tight, however.
If you depart Sydney for Wellington on an early flight you can take the Interislander or Bluebridge ferry from Wellington to Picton. The town is the base for exploring the Marlborough Sounds, and the filigreed waterway at the top end of North Island. Plan to spend two nights here.
Pick up a hire car from the Picton ferry terminal and drive to Nelson following Queen Charlotte Drive as it twists around the edges of the sounds. After an overnight stay, a long drive south-west will take you through the mighty Buller Gorge to Greymouth, from where you continue along the coast to Westland National Park. This is New Zealand's glacier country, and Fox and Franz Josef are among the most accessible glaciers on the planet. Spend two nights here, and don't miss a trip to the wind-flayed west coast beaches. Continue south to Haast and turn inland along the Glacier Highway.
Your destination for the last nights of your stay is Queenstown, New Zealand's adventure headquarters and the base for exploring the wonders of Mount Aspiring/Fiordland national parks.
It was here that much of The Lord of the Rings series was filmed, and you only have to stroll out among the furry forests of Antarctic beech and glacier-fed rivers to conjure up the elvish kingdom of Lothlorien and the peaks of the Misty Mountains.
From Queenstown you can take a direct flight to Sydney with Qantas on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays.
Patagonia beckons, with Cape Horn the peak
We want to go trekking in the Atacama Desert for about seven to 10 days, preferably joining a group. Any suggestions? Also, anything nearby worth visiting?
- F. Boger, Guildford
If you Google "Atacama Desert tours" you can find plenty of material on the internet, including some helpful suggestions from past visitors on TripAdvisor.
Sydney-based World Expeditions has an Atacama Adventure trip although at just four days, this might not satisfy your needs. However, you could talk to them and see if you can negotiate a more extensive itinerary.
The main base for exploring the area is the town of San Pedro, and there really is no reason to go there other than to experience the Atacama. Further afield, Chile has a five-star portfolio of adventures. High on the list is Torres Del Paine National Park, where a wall of 3000-metre peaks rises almost vertically from the glacier lakes and grasslands of southern Patagonia. Torres del Paine National Park can be walked either as a fully supported lodge-based hike or a more challenging wilderness walk, which involves hiking with food supplies.
Another highlight is cruising through the fiords that infiltrate the glaciated mountains of Tierra del Fuego. Cruceros Australia operates three- and four-night cruises between Punta Arenas and Ushuaia aboard small, expeditionary vessels. Expect daily trips to calving glaciers, walks through spongey forests, soaring condors on the mountain peaks and - the icing on the cake - a landing at Cape Horn, weather permitting.
Bath awash with options
Last year we spent a week in the Cinque Terre walking, eating local delicacies, sightseeing and drinking, based in Levanto and using the train for day trips. In 2013 we have a week in late April in Britain where we would like to do something similar. Given it is spring and possibly still cool, should we stay in the south? Group tour or not? Hire a car or travel by train? Far too many options — any and all suggestions are welcome.
- E. Bajusz, Coogee
My pick is the Georgian city of Bath. Base yourselves there and you have a wonderful World Heritage-listed city on your doorstep and easy access to the Cotswolds, Glastonbury, Wells Cathedral and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The surrounding county of Somerset also has some glorious gardens and natural landscapes. The list includes Exmoor National Park, the National Arboretum at Westonbirt, the remarkable Cheddar Gorge, England's largest oak forest in the Forest of Dean, and the parks around some of England's stateliest homes. You could easily take the Severn Bridge into Wales and explore the Brecon Beacons.
If the weather is sour, Bath has indoor attractions including the Roman Baths, No.1 Royal Crescent, the Jane Austen Centre, the Victoria Gallery, Bath Abbey and the Sally Lunn Historic Eating House and Museum. The Visit Bath websiteas a detailed look at what the city has to offer.
A car will magnify your touring options. Feed your details into VroomVroomVroom, Webcarhire, or Google "compare car hire" and find a keen deal. Bath is within easy reach of London by train.
Week to explore, week to thaw
My wife and I have booked a four-week holiday in February commencing in Oslo. We have booked the first half with a couple of days in Oslo then travelling to the west coast for a seven-day cruise up the coast to Kirkenes. We have nothing planned for the remaining two weeks other than wishing to visit Copenhagen and Stockholm. We would prefer to "self tour" and would appreciate any travel advice.
- P. Feltscheer, Collaroy
You could easily spend a week exploring Copenhagen and Stockholm, which leaves you with another week to spare, and you might think about thawing out. Sicily and Malta are just two of the places that you could reach fairly easily from Scandinavia, where you could drink your coffee outside in comparative warmth while observing the foibles of the lively culture around you.
If you feel like a self-driving tour, Sicily would be a better choice. Malta is sufficiently small that you could base yourself in Valletta and make day trips to explore this fascinating and historic island and its neighbours, Gozo and Camino.
Malta also has the advantage that English is widely spoken, and prices are slightly lower than in mainland Europe.

The Southwest Louisiana Grandparents Raising Grandchildren 2013 Conference is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Allen P. August Multi-Purpose Annex, 2000 Moeling St.
The free conference, hosted by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Human Services Department, is for grandparents who are the primary caregivers for their grandchildren. Officials with several local agencies will discuss topics like parenting skills, coping with abandonment, custody issues and grandparents' rights.
Adele Mart, human services operations manager, said 11 percent of children in Louisiana live with their grandparents — the third-highest percentage in the U.S. She said the conference will help educate grandparents and other relatives who are raising children on their own.
"It will provide training and support to empower grandparents," she said.
People must register for the conference by Friday to get a lunch ticket. Forms are available at these locations: Allen P. August Multi-Purpose Annex, city of Lake Charles (Community Development and Services), Calcasieu Council on Aging, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana and CASA Family and Youth Counseling.
Forms can also be found at the Police Jury's website — www.cppj.net/seniors — and should be emailed to email@example.com.
Other entities partnering with the conference include the city of Lake Charles, Calcasieu Council on Aging, Calcasieu Sheriff's Office, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Information Center of Louisiana, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana and Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children.

I would like to announce the filming of "Fanboys," a large budget fan film here in Albuquerque. We filmed the scenes last night (as it began to snow) of waiting in line for the midnight premiere of "Phantom Menace" as well as scenes inside the theater as the "movie" started. My 7-year-old daughter, Téa was dressed in her "Mini Fett" costume and sitting on the end of the row in front of the main actors. She may or may not be seen in those shots.
My ROTJ Fett costume was actually being worn by a minor actor in a specific scene in the line outside the theater. I would like to thank the following people for helping my Fett come together and let you know to watch for your "Part(s)" in this upcoming movie:
Sorry I can't remember the guy's name from e-bay who made my visor and custom-made my daughter's visor.
Bountys Hunted: FG helmet and jet pack
Ruffkintoy: ammo belt and gaunt kit
Batninja: pattern for my and my daughter's ammo vests
T-bone: Kid helmet and idea for my RF stalk
AFettFullofDollars: Trash can armor for my daughter
Darth Flan: Shin tools
VashDStampede: Armor decals from which I hand-painted my designs
TK409 and the family: LED and cape
I would like to thank Ultimate Boba Fett, TK409, Rogue Studios, and the folks on The Dented Helmet for all the ideas to help me make my costume.
And I would especially like to thank my friends Jess, Greg, Joseph, and Scott of the NM 501st Dewback Ridge Squad for their help and inspiration in getting my costume ready in time for Episode III's movie premier last May and to where my costume is today (in a movie!) Scott's costume will also be seen in this scene.
Thank you all,
Colleen BH-6767

Teacher honored for 22 years of excellence
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - A local teacher received a top honor for sharing his love of science with his students.
We stopped by his classroom to see what makes this Sullivan South High School teacher one of excellence.
For 22 years, Tom Rutherford has been doing what he loves -- teaching students about the world we live in through physical science, chemistry, and astronomy. "It just seems like I was born that way," he told us. "I've always liked science."
In year 23, Rutherford is getting a nod from the Tennessee Academy of Science as its Distinguished
Teacher of the Year.
As we learned, that's because this teacher goes beyond the textbook. Rutherford encourages and guides his students to their own research and analysis. "One of them looked for transiting exoplanets, which are planets orbiting other stars," he said. "That's a really big focus in the news now. Another tried to come up with a way to predict how distorted colliding galaxies are."
Some of his students have even been published while still in high school. "They really were doing projects that led to results that were unknown," he laughed.
This devotion to science and students is encouraging to his coworkers, like physics teacher Joe Smith. "He does a lot of work that nobody ever sees or appreciates, because it's stuff that's only interesting to a few people," Smith said.
But if his passion rubs off on just one student, for Rutherford it's well worth the effort. "When you have a student who it clicks with, and you realize, you know they're getting it, you know they understand what you're talking about, it really is a nice feeling," he said.
Rutherford will be going to Nashville on Friday to officially receive his award.
here are some fun facts -- he also teaches German at Sullivan South. Also, our very own News 5 reporter Meredith Machen was a student in his class. She tells us everything she knows about chemistry came from him.

Record Number of Freshmen Arrive at Cal Poly
Number of Freshmen and Transfer Students Soars
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Cal Poly is welcoming a record number of freshman this fall.
The University enrolled 4,750 first-time freshmen, an increase of 28 percent.
A record 1,000 transfer students are enrolled too.
For the first time in history, the Fall Welcome took place in Alex G. Spanos Memorial Stadium.
Students watched a video showing highlights of WOW, which stands for Week of Welcome.
Upperclassman led small groups of WOW students from their residence halls to their seats.
Speakers included President Jeffrey Armstrong, ASI student President Jason Colombini and special guest Paul Wesselmann, also known as the Ripple Guy.
Wesselmann invited the students to rip up their imaginary cool card and get involved in everything the university has to offer.
Through Sunday students are invited to a-Mustang soccer game, laser tag, a resource fair and a surprise tradition called a WOW-A-RAMA.
One senior said the only hitch so far was a water main break that cut off hot water. The problem is supposed to be fixed by morning.
Classes start Monday.

In last week's Travel editorial, I made a passing reference to budget airlines. It opened a torrent of bitter responses about Jetstar - the dominant flier at that end of the market in our skies.
I'll say this up front: I don't mind Jetstar. You know what you're getting and you get what you pay for. Which is not to make light of the experiences of travellers who have been delayed or mucked about.
But fellas, for the real budget horror experience, get thee to Ryanair.
Last year British woman Suzy McLeod got 500,000 votes of support on Facebook after Ryanair hit her with a $430 charge because she couldn't print out her family's boarding passes so they could return home from holiday. She asked the airline for some recompense.
Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's CEO saw things differently. "She wrote to me last week asking for compensation and a gesture of goodwill. To which we have replied, politely but firmly, thank you Mrs McLeod but it was your f***-up and if you screw up, you compensate us and you send us a gesture of goodwill."
Budget airlines can be unforgiving of passengers who turn up late - that's a major part of why they're cheap. The key: don't give them a chance to screw you, and (mostly) they won't.

Polly Roesch Music Room
Above: Dr. Sharon Graf directs a musical ensemble in the new Polly Roesch Music Room.
The Polly Roesch Music Room Provides Ample Practice Space
Music at UIS is growing each year, thanks in large part to Polly Roesch and her foundational support through scholarships and gifts.
She early shared a vision of a university program that brings together students, faculty, staff, and community members to make and share music. She believed in the promise of that program, and
generously gave in support of music at UIS.
In 2011, Polly Roesch gave additional critical support to the music program by helping UIS improve its practice space. At that time, music groups practiced in a small classroom with acoustic tiles attached to the walls and low-pile carpeting on the floor.
With support from Polly Roesch, UIS has been able to combine this space with three other small classrooms, resulting in 2000 square feet with room for 100 musicians. The room has better
acoustics and an ample storage space for the music, instruments, and supplies.
Because of the Polly Roesch Chorale Room, in future years, everyone who knows anything about music at UIS will know Polly Roesch's name.
Chorus members and other musicians will say of the music room, "I'm heading to Roesch now," or "I left my bag in Roesch," or "Let's head on over to Roesch," and with each mention, musicians at UIS will be honoring Polly Roesch.
And that's only proper because Polly Roesch has done so much to make a vibrant music program at UIS a reality.

Substances which swell as a result of heat exposure thus increasing in volume and decreasing in density. Intumescents are typically endothermic to varying degrees, as they can contain chemically bound water. Intumescents are used in firestopping, fireproofing and gasketing applications. Some intumescents are susceptible to environmental influences such as humidity, which can reduce or negate their ability to function. DIBt approvals quantify the ability of intumescents to stand the test of time against various environmental exposures. DIBt approved firestops and fireproofing materials are available in Canada and the US. DIBt approvals have a finite validity and one must check the expiry date, which is printed on the front of the approval document.

Richard Stolley has brought major news stories to people around the world for decades. He began his career in journalism while still in high school, as sports editor for his hometown newspaper in Illinois, the Pekin Daily Times. In 1953, Stolley began reporting for LIFE magazine, a weekly publication that brought news to Americans through words and powerful photos. In 1974, Stolley signed on as the first managing editor of the successful People magazine. He became the editorial director for Time, Inc. publishing company in 1989 and now, in his retirement, serves as Time, Inc.'s senior editorial advisor.
What inspired you to become a journalist?
There were no journalists in my family. My mother was an English teacher. My father managed a factory, but he was a voracious reader. I think my mother's background in teaching English had something to do with it, but it came out of nowhere. I knew when I was twelve years old what I wanted to do with my life, and I never turned back after that.
When you were 15 years old, you became the sports editor of the Pekin Daily Times, a newspaper in your hometown in Illinois. What was it like to write for a newspaper, and then head to high school every morning?
It ruined my career as a high school athlete! Needless to say, I could not write about sports and participate. It was awkward sometimes writing about my friends on the sports teams, particularly football and basketball, and having to be somewhat critical of their performance. So, it did not make me the most popular boy in high school. But for two years, I got up at five in the morning and went down to the newspaper, put out the sports page, and then walked up to the high school. On Friday night, there was either a football game or a basketball game. All of my friends were out celebrating, and I had to go back to the newspaper office and write the story because the Saturday paper went to press very early.
How did you get the sports editor job?
This was during World War II; the sports editor went into the Navy. He and I were friends. He knew I had been the editor of the junior high paper and the editor of the high school paper, and he recommended me to the publisher. The editor of the paper then was a young woman who was in her early twenties. The publisher decided he did not want a woman to be sports editor, so he hired a child instead!
What was it like to be a young reporter for LIFE magazine?
LIFE was the best-known magazine in the world then. About three years after I went to work for LIFE, I got sent down to the Atlanta bureau, and that started my career as a bureau correspondent. Most of the adventures I had at LIFE happened after that.
How would you describe the role of the journalist during the civil rights movement?
There would not have been a civil rights movement without journalism. It's hard to imagine what the country was like compared with now. National television was only fifteen minutes a night. Of course, there was no Internet, no computers, nothing. National publications were responsible for telling America what was happening in the South. It was crucial for journalists to tell America what was happening in the South, otherwise they would have had no idea the cruelties that had taken place down there, the discrimination. Once Americans were informed, they could react to what was going on, and put pressure on the South to pay attention to the Supreme Court ruling that public school discrimination and segregation were illegal.
How did photos impact the civil rights movement?
I think LIFE magazine was the most influential publication in changing American attitudes toward race because other news magazines would tell you what was happening and LIFE magazine would show you. LIFE photographers captured images of people spitting on black kids. Those people landed in a great big photo in the magazine, their faces distorted with hate, and spit coming out of their mouths. That image is going to change peoples' attitude in a way that words never could. That is exactly what LIFE magazine did week after week after week.
In 1957, LIFE sent you to Little Rock, Arkansas, to cover the integration of Central High School. What was one of the most powerful images that LIFE published of that integration? What made it powerful?
It was the sight of those nine brave students, surrounded by soldiers, walking up the steps and into this high school. It got you thinking, 'Goodness! What has this country come to that it takes soldiers to get these nine students into the school?' At the same time, you think, 'Thank goodness for America that they would send armed paratroopers to make sure that the law of the land will be maintained.'
What was it like to cover the Montgomery bus boycott?
It was interesting. For one thing, it wasn't violent. It was amazingly peaceful. All of these black employees, maids, and all of the rest, either walked to work or set up a kind of shuttle system with cars. Some even rented their own buses. The people who employed blacks, either in their homes or in their stores, were the ones who were finally hesitating and said, 'This was nuts, our houses are dirty, we do not have people to wait on customers.' There was a growing sense of frustration in the town. They said, 'Let them ride on the buses. It's not the end of the world.'
Did you meet Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks?
I met Dr. Martin Luther King. He was a galvanizing speaker. And I met Rosa Parks. She was an elegant, very quiet, strong and determined woman.
King was astonishing. One day, I walked off my flight at the Atlanta airport and there was Dr. King with his wife, Coretta, and their little kids. I looked at him and I suddenly realized that they were all waiting there because there was no place else for them to go. They couldn't get into the restaurants because they were all segregated. Blacks could not get into the restaurants or any place else. They had black and white toilets and drinking fountains. There was not a black waiting area and a white waiting area, which was true of most bus stations in the South. So, Dr. King and his family could sit in the one waiting area. I went over [to him] and reintroduced myself. We chatted for a while. I remember thinking, 'One of the reasons that Dr. King is doing what he is doing is that he and his family can't go into that air conditioned restaurant and have a Coke or something like that while he waits for his plane.' It was that kind of daily humiliation that blacks had to go through in the South that fueled the civil rights movement in many ways more dramatically than the big school decisions. Having to encounter that kind of discrimination every morning when he woke up... it's a wonder that that the whole civil rights revolution wasn't even bloodier than it was.
How would you advise kids today who are interested in pursuing careers in journalism and photojournalism?
Do what you're doing. How did you get to be a TIME For Kids reporter?
I just found an interest and I stuck with it. When I was in first grade, at the end of the school year, I missed my friends so I wrote a newsletter and it just took off from there.
You've just answered your own question! That is exactly what you do. People who want to be journalists, they have to understand that they want to do it and what it involves, and then just do it. That is exactly what you are doing, your example is much like mine many years later, using this [a tape recorder] instead of a notebook.
My advice to kids is to find that thing that you want to do, and if it's to explore human beings and write about them, then do it. Start in the first grade if you can!

Construction project giving business owners headaches
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A major road construction project in the Tri-Cities is creating major headaches for some businesses trying to keep their doors open.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation is widening Highway 36 through Boones Creek from two lanes to five lanes.
We found out Thursday that the construction is starting to hurt businesses owners along Highway 36
Bobby Sims, owner of Sims Hardware, says, "I think the crew made a great decision on widening the road, I just think the pain on getting it done is the biggest thing right now."
Bobby Sims told us his family flooring business has been here for more than 30 years. Right now his business is in the heart of the more than $40 million construction zone.
The last few months have been the worst they've ever seen. "It's probably off $50,000, for sure. We are hoping once the road is done it will get back to normal and we're sure it's going to be a great asset when it's complete," he said.
Traffic tends to back up for long periods of time in both directions.
The construction is something folks will contend with for a while to come -- the project is less than 50 percent complete and construction will last into at least late 2014.
Just up the road, we met with Frank Underwood, the general manager at Our House Restaurant. The business opened less than two months ago; Underwood says opening a new restaurant while a road is being built out front isn't easy. "One day the traffic will be moving nice, the next day they will be lined up all the way in to Johnson City," he said.
At times they've taken to Facebook to let diners know what the traffic is like, and they have even altered their hours because of the construction. "The dinner crowd is fine, and that's one of the reasons we chose not to be open for lunch during the week," Underwood says. "We realized the ability for people to get in was going to be hindered."
The restaurant has delayed paving their parking lot and are relying on a temporary sign until the work is finished.
Business owners along Highway 36 say they are just trying to make it until late next year when the work should be finished and this will be a new five-lane highway. "In the long-term it's a plus," Underwood said. "The old saying goes, short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. That's how we are looking at it."
Once the construction is complete, Highway 36 will be four lanes with a center turn lane stretching from Boones Creek Road in Boones Creek to Bobby Hicks Highway in Gray.
The project is slated to wrap up in December of 2014.

When using frames with plastic inserts should you put more wax on them and should youspray them with sugar water?
When using frames with plastic inserts should you put more wax on them and should youspray them with sugar water?
You can but it is not necessary. I have used thousands of prewaxed frames from all the major suppliers and as long as the bees are healthy, need additional comb space, and have either a nectar flow or syrup the bees will draw beautiful comb. There is also no difference between using black or natural colored foundation. Adding more wax will mean less wax the bees will need to produce. But in reality it is of little advantage.
Converting slowly over to all plastic inserts and we do not add wax. I did have one colony (out of the test dozen) absolutely refuse to build out on the plastic inserts, but most work them out fine. I didn't add wax onto any of the inserts, only what was pre-applied by the manufacturer. Have bought from Dadant & Mann Lake and I'd say the results were no different other than the one refusal.
Don't confuse me with facts... my mind is made up.
The directions the manufacturer includes, sometimes the supplier does not - say to start them during a flow or feed sugar syrup untl they start drawing. I buy ten cases of 100 every year without any problem so far.
I've done both, extra wax and just what came on them. I'd say most folks are right. The drawing is about the same. I still roll on an extra layer. Maybe it gives me a little peace of mind...or it's because I still have this huge amount of melted cappings that I use to roll on. I've got it, why not use it. But there MUST be a flow or a heavy feeding for them to draw!

I spray all my frames with sugar syrup containing a small amount of HBH. They start building comb rapidly once their scents are on the frames. It at least seems to be that way. It doesn't hurt. I have a cheap pump garden prayer that holds on quart. Makes spraying the fames a breeze.

Katharina what are you refering to with "HBH"
Honey Bee Healthy or Pro Health. A supplement that mainly contains lemon grass oil and some other things. It is a feeding stimulant to bees and makes them accept things faster.

Someone with hot fiery Cape Verdean blood flowing through their veins. Cape Verde is a small group of islands off the west coast of Africa and there are a lot of Cape Verdeans in New England. Cape Verdeans are Black/African reguardless of skin/eye color or hair length/texture but sadly a lot of them are in denial about it... they try to use their portuguese mixture as an excuse of why they're not african but it's stupid because there is a mix of something else in almost every African country... Overall Cape Verdeans are sexy and attract attention almost everywhere they go
Dude1: Aiiyo didju see dat lite skinned chick dat juss walked by wit da long black hair && dat dark skinned chick w/ tha afro?? DEY'RE BAANGIN
Dude2: Yeaa they must be Cape Verdean

The envy of all people who strive to define who and what we are. We are not just Black African, we have a mixed heritage that we are proud of. Why do people spend so much time and effort telling us what we are when we do not care what you are?

A Cape Verdean is a person who descended from Cape Verde which is a tiiny little country off the western coast of Africa. They range from all skiin colors, eye colors, and haiir types. The language sort of sounds liike a miix of the romance languages spanish, portuguese, italian, ect. so iif u speak one of those especiially portuguese you'd have no problem pickiin iit up. Personally, I happen to thiink Pawtucket, RI is the second Cape Verde. All cape verdeans luv cachupa, and if u dont, well then ur not cape verdean. Many play soccer and they're skilled as hell at iit. At the moment the freak a leak song for them is "Chichiri", download iit ; . They wear their pride on theiir shiirt and flaunt thiier shiiet.
There were three Cape Verdean ladies walking down the beach, and they find what they believe to be a magic lamp. So, they rub it to see if it really is. Just as they rub it, a genie pops out and says that he'll give them each one wish. So the first girl says 'I want to be really smart ', and she appears with glasses and a book in her hand. The second girl says 'I want to be even smarter than her', and she turned into a genius. The third girl said 'I want to just change this whole wish thing around, I want to be as dumb as I could possibly be, and she turns into a white chick.
