Jack Whitehall has called his first arena tour Jack Whitehall Gets Around, and he certainly went to plenty of places during his breathlessly busy two-hour set.
The Fresh Meat star entered by whizzing down the aisles on a Segway. He prowled and pranced across his circular, central stage and even squeezed in animation, fireworks, confetti and costume changes.
In terms of production values this may well be the most spectacular arena stand-up show ever. It is a shame then, that the gift did not always live up to the flashy wrapping paper.
After formulaic opening banter with the front row the bearded-yet-boyish 25-year-old had a habit of falling back on tried and tested terrain, from the travails of air travel and train toilets to the embarrassment of getting one's wires crossed during tweeting. Frequently funny, rarely groundbreaking. Yet alongside the workmanlike witticisms there were also more original moments as Whitehall shuttled deftly between laddism and self-mockery.
He had a particularly pithy running gag about his enduring passion for The Lion King, declaring the film to be "Shakespeare with fur".
Elsewhere he laid bare his physical frailties, telling how heartburn interferes with his love life and, in one excruciatingly graphic routine, offering an account of a testicular examination.
Each winning line was delivered with the calculated precision of a political speech. Even the slip-ups often felt scripted and little seemed left to chance or overlooked.
The only thing missing was Whitehall's curmudgeonly father Michael, but even he had a cameo on film doing the world's most unlikely Miley Cyrus impression.
As for Whitehall Junior, one has to admire his skill. Never mind The Lion King, he did just enough in this show to confirm that he is comedy royalty.

REMINDER: Celtic Swell will celebrate 10 years and Pets & Their People St. Paddy's weekend
Event will benefit the Seattle Humane Society
One of the more colorful events (especially if you favor the color green) in West Seattle every year is the arrival of St. Patrick's Day. The Celtic Swell Irish Pub on Alki at 2722 Alki Ave. S.W. will celebrate 10 years of operation on Monday Mar. 17 but the weekend prior is an all Irish celebration plus their "Pets and Their People" costume contest.
Here's the Celtic Swell's press release:
Labs dressed-up like leprechauns! Shar peis with sheleighleighs! Bulldogs boasting bagpipes! There's no telling what you'll see when Alki's Celtic Swell Irish Pub celebrates 10 years in West Seattle with its annual St. Patrick's Day "Pets & Their People" Costume Contest featuring a photo booth and prizes - all to benefit the Seattle Humane Society. The family and pet-friendly event is a must-do for everyone seeking festive and memorable St. Paddy's Day fun.
Hosted by local legend and Almost Live! Alum, Tracey Conway, guests are encouraged to dress up their pets (and themselves) in St. Pat's day garb, mug it up Irish-style in the Celtic Swell's photo booth and win incredible prizes donated by some of West Seattle's favorite local businesses. All donations will benefit the Seattle Humane Society. While waiting to see who wins the grand prize, the Jamisons will entertain the crowd with Irish music all afternoon.
With two Siberian Huskies of his own, Celtic Swell owner (and true Irishman who built the pub himself) Gareth Hughes says the costume contest and the cause is a natural fit for the Swell. "This year proudly marks our 10th anniversary in West Seattle. And if there's one thing we've learned for certain during the last 10 years it's that the people in West Seattle love their pets, they really are a part of our family! The costume contest was a huge hit last year and supports such a valuable cause. So many of our friends begged us to bring it back that we couldn't' say no! There's just no better way to get your entire family in on the fun of St. Paddy's day than by dressing up yourself, your kids and your pets in green and spending the day at an authentic Irish pub!"
Help West Seattle's Authentic Irish Pub & Restaurant Support the Seattle Humane Society, Celebrate St. Pat's Day with Family-Friendly Pet Costume Contest,
Photo Booth, Food, Drinks and Prizes!!!

Understanding the voices of birds
Birds sing for two reasons. The message depends upon who hears the song.
Carolina wrens prefer 'up and under'
Though Carolina wrens eschew traditional nest boxes, they are easily coaxed into a simple box that takes advantage of this wren's loose definition of a cavity.
Watching the hidden world of nature
A walk in the woods after dark during a gentle rain in March is an easy way to find and observe these breeding frogs and salamaders. All that's required is a flashlight and waterproof boots.
Get those nest boxes ready: Birds are coming
Birds may begin nesting early this year, unless there is a late winter cold snap or snowstorm.
Vernal pools come to life in March
Vernal pools are much more than mud holes in the woods. They are thriving communities of aquatic organisms perfectly adapted to these specialized ephemeral habitats.
Snow fleas are harmless and abundant
Snow fleas are an important food source for many small invertebrate predators.
New bird cage feeder meets expectations
The walls and top consist of grid panels of 2-inch by 2-inch heavy-duty wire mesh that allows birds to pass freely,
Banding is helping unlock avian mysteries
Only through long-term banding efforts can scientists unlock the mysteries of avian natural history.
Ruffed grouse can be bold, even aggressive
Thomas Felton of Kimbolton, Ohio, recently sent me some photos of a ruffed grouse he had been feeding twice a day since late November.
Birds do surprisingly well in winter storms
Birds battle the cold weather by eating during the day, burning the calories later on.

Yes, I am a little confused ............. so you are saying we will send all our blocks to you, to re-send to the recipient?
Being that we know the person it is for, would it not be easier to send it direct to the recipient?
Or is it a double mystery ... where I would know the recipient's wish list, though would have no clue whose list it is?
Could be fun!! ... though it would add to costs, with the double mailings, as well as the added time delay.
OK ... maybe I am just a little dense here and a sure sign I need to go eat supper and then do some sewing.
By the time I return, I'm thinking the rest of y'all will have cleared up the fog for this ol' cowhand!

Haha - yes he scored 67 goals in 7 games himself. The rest of the team scored about 20 cimbined. We had a total of just over scored against us on the season. He is a beast! :)
I really liked the format as it is.
It was good to see a player who naturaly got the balence right.. played well enough that most hands were being played well yet making enough mistakes that you had stuff to comment on.
I felt I learned more from you pointing out his mistakes than I usually do from watching videos where the the play is better because he was making the kind of mistakes that I make too.
Often mistakes are overlooked because there are spots that coaches either domt make the same kind of mistakes themselves or dont pick hands where therse common mistakes are made.
So Id like to see more of the same TBH.
I thought about the reason for me playing so many good draws so passively, and i came to the conclusion that it is the same reason for me calling with speculative hands preflop as you suggest, rather than 3bet/fold them as is common in high stakes games these days.
Namely, i want to call as much as i can profitably, and 3bet and check-raise more polarized, so that i can play more hands profitably in total. I understand that i sacrifice a bunch of fold equity when playing draws not as semibluffs but as "semifloats", but you do and advise the same with preflop calling hands, both ip and oop. I don't get the intrinsic difference.
The only connection i can see is to call many speculative hands preflop to play them aggressively postflop, which leads to a very bluffheavy raising and barreling range postflop.
This is a very important topic for me (in terms of poker) and i hope you get the time to answer to that thought.

The logical flaw in my question post, which thankfully was not answered by Niman (not being sarcastic), lies in the statement that i wanted to play as many hands as possible in a profitable way. This is not what making money in Poker is about. It is about building ranges for each play that lead to the most total-EV.
I am not even sure now if i just misworded it or if i thought that way, because my thinking about the game changed dramatically in the last couple of days.
I won't go into detail on those changes, hope you understand.

Around the Gaming World News Report 05.04.12
Hey everyone, welcome to the latest installment of Around The Gaming World. If this is your first time checking in I try to cover some of the major stories for each console in addition to news, which in my opinion, is the news of the week.
First let's go over the comments.
Uncharted 3 may be the most disappointing sequel I've ever played, and that includes Zelda 2 for the NES. Using the phrase "game of the year" about it is an added insult.
I haven't bought Nintendo hardware since the SNES, but I hope they get it together. As much as I'd like to have classic Nintendo games on PSN, the loss of competition would be bad for the industry. Sony and Microsoft are already considering lockout codes to end the used game market or even friends swapping with each other; the end of Nintendo would only embolden them.
Posted By: Jason Douglas (Registered) on April 27, 2012 at 02:35 PM
I've never played the Uncharted series. My friends liked the 3rd game in the series but said it wasn't quite as good. However, if it's not as good as its predecessors it shouldn't be labeled as Game of the Year.
I was a Nintendo fan up through the N64. I loved that system, but I just couldn't get interested in the Gamecube. That was the generation I jumped to the Xbox. To be fair, I eventually bought a Gamecube one summer for 40 bucks so I could play Zelda and Smash Bros. It was $40 well spent but the game selection for that console and the Wii just isn't great. I hope that we don't get Nintendo games on PSN or XBL too, mostly because it would probably screw up the industry.
And now, it's on to the news… strangely without any comments from Ric Flair's pen!
Halo 4 The Web Series – Microsoft has announced that a live-action web-based TV show will be starting soon. The intent is to bring in new fans that may not have played the Halo games but are curious. The man at the helm of the Halo franchise, Frank O'Connor, was quoted as saying that the Web series will help "people to get on board this universe without feeling intimidated." Unlike the Halo movie, however, which would have been designed to have mass market appeal in its own right, this Web series is geared mainly to drum up business for the new game and will provide an extensive back story for Halo 4.
In Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Master Chief will work with a cadet who is ends up becoming a leader on a UNSC spaceship. Each episode will be 15 minutes and new episodes will be added on a weekly basis.
Via: Venture Beat
I'll admit, I'm excited to see where Microsoft will go with this series. The live action commercials created for Halo 3 were really cool looking and created on a commercial budget. Since Halo is a Microsoft property I'm sure they will sink the money into making this series good. And then, they will hype the hell out of it on Xbox Live and on the web.
I'm curious to see how many episodes they release for this web-series. Hopefully they are able to bring in the voice cast from the games too. It would be rather odd for the Chief and Cortana to sound different.
Get Your Xbox On Contract – Microsoft is about to launch a subsidized Xbox 360 package, in which the hardware will cost $99 but be tied to a two-year subscription plan, according to a report Wednesday.
The bundle will include a 4 GB Xbox 360 model and a Kinect sensor and be sold at Microsoft Stores. It will require a $15/month subscription to Xbox Live and there will be an early termination fee.
Via: Wired
Well I can say that this is a business model I never thought I would see on the Xbox. I guess I can see how this package would be appealing to people without a large amount of cash in the back at one time. You could basically pay your Xbox off in installments. However, you are paying a lot for the basic Xbox. Sure $99 up front sounds great. But if they bill you $15 per month for Xbox Live that's expensive. Over the course of a 2 year contract you will have paid $360 alone in Xbox Live fees. I can go buy a prepaid card on sale and spend $36 for 12 months of Xbox Live service. This plan doesn't appeal to me, and I don't see it working out for most consumers once they do the math and see how much they are actually spending. It's damn expensive.
Playstation Partners with Major League Gaming – Sony's PlayStation division will be partnering with the leader in competitive gaming for a new round of video game battling platform known as the MLG Spring Fighting Arena. Claiming that there are "thousands of dollars on the line," Sony said the PS3 will be the official console used in the new Major League Gaming battle royales. The games that will be included are Mortal Kombat and SoulCalibur V.
Via: PlayStation Blog
This is good news for Sony. It seems that more often professional gaming is really starting to become less of a nerdy pursuit and more mainstream. ESPN airs a Madden challenge series and SciFi channel had a gaming reality show where gamers competed against each other. The really nice part for Sony here is that they have made themselves the official console for MLG.
Not only is the PS3 the official console but Sony worked a deal to ensure they would be able to stream the contest. Sony sold an all access HD pass for $4.99. Personally I had no intention of watching but it's nice the option is there for folks who might care to watch.
PS3 Owners and the PS Vita – The folks over at PlayStation Universe conducted a poll amongst their readers trying to figure out the lack of interest in the PS Vita console. Poor battery life, the high price of memory cards and lack of functionality of Remote Play are among a few of the reasons some gamers aren't interested, but opinion largely comes down to two things: price and games. They also stated that all of the polled users owned PS3s but only 30% owned a PS Vita.
Via: PlayStation Universe
I realize that I rip on the PS Vita a lot, but these results, albeit not very scientific, are interesting to me. If the hardcore fanbase who own PS3s can't get interested in the Vita then there is a problem. Their concerns over the console are legitimate too. The device is expensive and right now there aren't any killer games out for the Vita. Nintendo ran into the same problem with the 3DS and after a price drop, sales picked up. To be fair Nintendo now sells the 3DS at a loss, but maybe this is a strategy that Sony should follow as well. Its better to sell at a loss and develop a fanbase than it is to not sell many systems at all.
Nintendo is Going Digital – Nintendo offered insight into its plan to distribute new 3DS and Wii U games digitally in addition to retail. It won't just be select games like New Super Mario Bros. 2; according to the publisher, "The majority of Nintendo-published Nintendo 3DS games will have the same dual-distribution strategy. Likewise, the majority of Nintendo-published Wii U games will be available both as packaged products and as digital downloads starting on launch day.".
Via: Joystiq
I'm happy to see that physical copies of the games will still be available. I think this is an interesting move for Nintendo. It certainly makes it easier to get instant gratification when it comes to buying a Nintendo game. The only drawback is that these downloaded games are linked to the console that purchased them. That means if you want to play New Super Mario Bros at a friend's house the game is non transferable. I understand they want to prevent piracy but it's things like that, that will cause me to continue buying my games on physical media.
Elder Scrolls Online is Coming – Bethesda Softworks will bring its popular Elder Scrolls series of single-player RPGs online next year.
The Elder Scrolls Online, developed by Zenimax Online, will be the first multiplayer version for the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful franchise since its debut 18 years ago.
Via: GamaSutra
I think I speak for everyone when I saw it was only a matter of time before Bethesda chose to make an MMO set in the Elder Scrolls world. There's not much known about the plot but reports say that trailers are expected to be released today. My biggest concern is that Skyrim was kind of glitchy at times. Hopefully they can avoid the glitches in this MMO.
The real question is, will this be the game to finally dethrone Blizzard's World of Warcraft? I've never played WoW, but my understanding is the only thing that could beat WoW, is Blizzard screwing it up. Seeing as WoW is such a cash cow I don't see it getting messed up anytime soon. They have just too big a lead for anyone to beat them. However, it would seem reasonable that an Elder Scrolls MMO could take some users away from WoW. If the Elder Scrolls game is good those gamers might stay away from WoW.

Tainted heroin reported in San Miguel County
LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Tainted heroin apparently is to blame for one death and several hospitalizations among people booked into the San Miguel County jail in recent weeks, officials said.
Authorities are using medical screenings and other steps to try to detect warning signs of use of contaminated heroin as people are taken into custody, the Las Vegas Optic (http://bit.ly/13T4Ker ) reported.
"The bottom line is this stuff is deadly, and everyone needs to stay completely away from it," [auth] Warden Patrick Snedeker said.
Symptoms include seizures, hyperventilation, hallucinations and dangerous changes in vital signs, he said.
The first case involved a 41-year-old woman who died Feb. 19 after being hospitalized a week earlier on Feb. 12, Snedeker said.
She suffered a seizure 12 hours after she was booked into the jail for charges that included driving on a revoked license and not having proof of registration or proof of insurance.
Jail officials then began seeing the same symptoms in other inmates who were long-term chronic heroin users, the Las Vegas Optic reported.
"It's got to be (tainted heroin), with all the similar symptoms they've been having," said Amanda Martinez, health services administrator with Health Care Partners Foundation, the nonprofit organization that provides medical services to detainees.
Snedeker said lab work at the hospital indicates that the stricken people used drugs and that interviews disclosed heroin use.
"It's tainted, and they're mixing it with bath salts," he said.
Antonio Padilla, chief of security at the jail, said jail officials are asking law enforcement agencies to have prisoners screened by a doctor at Alta Vista Regional Hospital before they're taken to the jail.
"That way maybe we can catch it before they fall apart here at the detention center," Padilla said.
Snedeker said the situation has been stressful to people who work at the detention center, prompting officials to activate the employee assistance program.

GURRUMUL wasn't supposed to happen to Skinnyfish. Not on the level that crashed the pop charts, toured the world and pressed flesh with gobsmacked heads of state, anyway. ''He sort of stuffed us up a little bit,'' Michael Hohnen says, to the quiet amusement of his business partner, Mark Grose.
For 10 years, their intentions with the tiny Top End record label have been passionately local. Next week, having followed their Elcho Island prodigy from Carnegie Hall to Buckingham Palace to Stevie Wonder's dressing room, they're expected on the Australians of the Year podium in Canberra.
Stuff-up or what?
''I don't think we'll win,'' Hohnen says, counting some of the other 2013 finalists on his fingers: Ita Buttrose, Kerry Stokes, ACT social-justice campaigner Tom Calma, Melbourne businessman and philanthropist Harold Mitchell …
Hohnen is a former bassist with Melbourne band the Killjoys, and his pop career has taught him to temper high expectations.
Grose has travelled a different road - from teenage idealist to ''optimistic pragmatist'' - since moving from Geelong to indigenous community administration in the 1990s. ''You never know,'' he says, quietly.
The pair's official shortlist citation mentions Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - who performs in Melbourne in February - only in passing, more saliently noting that ''for Mark and Michael, music is the key to unlocking potential''.
On that score, Grose was as surprised as any jaded veteran of ''community development'' when Hohnen came knocking on his door in Galiwin'ku, the largest settlement on Elcho Island, with sound recording equipment from Darwin University in 1996.
The bass player had had a slow epiphany during a cold, lean residency in London a few years earlier. While there, the Killjoys met Yothu Yindi, riding high on their Treaty rush, and Archie Roach, their Mushroom Records label mate, whom they supported on several dates. ''The way Archie just sat there and didn't say much, that really fascinated me,'' says Hohnen, who was rapidly tiring of rock-biz bluster. ''After a couple of meetings with those people, I realised there was something going on. And I knew there were songs there: songs from Australia.
''I know we have our Paul Kelly songs, our bush folk tradition, but … I got to this point back in Melbourne - I'd hit my mid-30s and I thought, 'There's got to be more.' I put my bass in the car and drove to the Territory.''
As a classical music student, his first interest was in the exotic tuning systems of Aboriginal music: strange harmonies more akin to Asian than Western scales. But at Charles Darwin University he found his practical industry skills in demand. Before long, a chance to work on Elcho arose.
Then the council clerk of Galiwin'ku, Grose admits to initial scepticism. ''The one thing everyone looks for in those remote communities is what avenue you can use to communicate,'' he says, ''[but] generally they never come to fruition. It's just cheap talk. Government departments, everyone: talk, talk, talk.
''Meanwhile, those communities are sliding down the tube in terms of health and education and engagement.''
What he saw on this occasion was a level of engagement he could only compare to the magic of football. ''These young guys were just busting down the doors to be involved in Michael's music course,'' he says.
Hohnen floated the idea of starting a record label on that first visit. ''Let's do it,'' Grose said.
If this were a conventional rock'n'roll success story, here would be the bit where the barefoot kid with the guitar walks in, jaws drop and a montage of magazine covers shifts the location to a teeming neon metropolis for the rest of the picture. But in spite of half-a-million worldwide sales of the Gurrumul album, Skinnyfish's focus never wavered.
''The Gurrumul thing has been fantastic,'' Grose says, ''but it hasn't been the main game. The main game has been to nurture and foster musical talent; to present it to the world, sure, but the world as we see it is local, regional and, if you're lucky, every now and again national.''
From a national perspective, the so-called ''Gurrumul effect'' has been undeniable. Galvanised by the extraordinary arrival of Yolngu language and stories on the global stage, artists as diverse and far-flung as Iwantja, Frank Yamma, East Journey, Warren H. Williams, Shellie Morris and the Yabu Band have since released albums in traditional languages.
The fact that none of them are household names is practically irrelevant. For Skinnyfish at least, the Gurrumul effect is not so much in the charts as in the hearts of their communities.
''To have someone come along who presents their music, their language, their view of the world, taken up and appreciated by a broader audience, that says to them, 'We are worth something,''' Grose says. ''That, for me, has been the biggest outcome of his success.''
Nonetheless, it comes with a duty of care in the expectation-management department. ''We're very careful not to sell bands the idea that they're going to be the next Gurrumul,'' Grose says.
''The reality is that there is not going to be another Gurrumul. There are so many things holding [indigenous musicians] back that morally, you can't pretend they're going to make it.
''You can't say to a band that comes from a remote community, that has traditional obligations to family and clan, 'What you need to do is go on the road for six months. Don't worry about the family, don't go to that ceremony.'
''Gurrumul is the exception to the rule. And even his touring is not arduous for an artist of his calibre.''
Three weeks on the road can sorely test Gurrumul's frail health, says Hohnen, who carries the burden of manager, musician and spokesman for his reticent frontman whenever the spotlight descends. ''He hates the media. He hates the exposure and the attention. He doesn't want to be photographed or talk to anyone. He just wants to play music.''
A greater contrast with every other musician striving for their 15 minutes in the world's ear is hard to imagine.
In any event, the Skinnyfish strategy is unlikely to cross the mainstream pop radar again for some time. A world away from the ARIA charts, many of their acts are engaged in outback and Top End projects, including the Strong Choices cyber-awareness campaign and a series of videos to promote disease prevention in regional communities.
In November, Grose and Hohnen were invited to take up management of the Barunga Festival for the next five years. The iconic cultural event near Katherine has been running for 27 years, and famously hosted Bob Hawke's unfulfilled promise of a treaty in 2008.
''Apart from music, what we are committed to is involvement,'' Hohnen says. ''Mark's driving theory is that when a community feels good about itself, a lot of other positive things happen. With Barunga, we hope to set up a model of how an Aboriginal festival can run. We have five years to do that, which should be plenty of time.''
Even if they become Australians of the Year next week?
''I don't think we will,'' he repeats, with a smile. ''But I think we have got a model of working with Aboriginal Australia that is reasonably effective. It's not based on waiting for the government to do something, and it's not based on handing all the control to an Aboriginal organisation or individuals. It's about setting up a business and saying, 'Do you want to get involved?' It's about the long term.''
■ The Australian of the Year is announced in Canberra on January 26. Gurrumul plays the Garden Party, at the Melbourne Recital Centre, on February 10.

When Jony Ive took over the role of leadership for Apple's Human Interface in October of last year, many speculated that the style of Apple's design language across iOS and Mac OS X would also shift towards a flatter, more clean style. This speculation was fueled mainly by Ive's feelings towards skeuomorphism and his minimalist design aesthetic.

As more and more consumers switch to using iOS devices to enjoy media, the need is becoming apparent for a more full featured and well-rounded video player. While Apple's Videos app provides basic and simple functionality for viewing movies, when it comes to storing, organizing, and viewing your entire library of videos and movies, Apple's stock app falls flat.
FireCore, the group behind the popular aTV Flash software for jailbroken Apple TVs have released a new app called Infuse, which promises to fix all of that, offering you a versatile way to view and organize videos in a variety of different formats. Let's check out how it worked.

One quarter inch isn't enough "overage" to cause a problem. One inch may cause a problem however.
Here's what happens~ As the crankshaft is spinning, the oil pool is directly below it. IF the oil pool is high enough to make contact with the crank, then foaming can result. Of course some oils are better at "antifoaming" than others, but it will happen to most all of them if the proper circumstances presented themselves.
Again~ I wouldn't worry about being .250" over.

Whiskeytown Kayak Tours Get Boost With Grant
WHISKEYTOWN, Calif. - There is good news for people going to Whiskeytown Lake this summer.
A $6,000 grant from the Shasta Regional Community Foundation's Redding Rancheria Community Fund will lead to the replacement of an old kayak shed at Oak Bottom Marina.
The Friends of Whiskeytown recently gave the lake 15 new kayaks that will be used this summer for free, Ranger-led kayak tours.
"We will be able to safely store and protect the kayaks that they purchased and able to offer all of our programs," says Sean Denniston, Chief of Interpretation and Resource Management.
Whiskeytown Lake offers a variety of kayak tours. Their new schedule will be ready in the spring . The tours will begin July and go on until Labor day.

With the end of the school just around the corner, many of us are planning a summer vacation. Traveling or staying in new locations can challenge our typical recycling habits. But with a little planning, you can still keep your paper, bottles and cans out of the trash.
On the Road Again
Once you've loaded up the family vehicle with clothes and electronic gadgets, add a bag or stackable bag-lined container to stow bottles, cans, paper, cartons and other recyclables. Teach sustainability to the kids by getting them involved with finding the recycling bin at wayside rests, public parks and even some gas stations.
I'll Fly Away
Many airports, including Minneapolis/St. Paul, provide recycling bins both inside and outside of secure areas for paper, cans and bottles. Some airlines have in-flight recycling programs for paper, plastic and aluminum, though this can depend on recycling programs at the destination airport. Ask your flight attendant if they are recycling - if not, carry your bottle, can or magazine off the plane and find the nearest recycling bin.
Once you are at your hotel, ask the clerk at check-in about the best way to recycle items from your room. If you can't recycle at your hotel, seek out the nearest public recycling bin. Better yet, do a little research before you choose hotels and restaurants. Web sites such as www.istaygreen.org rate hotels' eco-friendliness based on a comprehensive 70-point survey.
Choose to Reuse
Whether flying or driving, bring along reusable water bottles, coffee mugs and shopping totes to reduce waste.
Earth911.org has more tips for sustainable car travel at http://earth911.com/news/2011/09/27/plan-environmentally-friendly-road-trip/. Find more information on recycling here.

Undergraduate events
Visit our beautiful campus and find out more about your future at Glasgow
Other programmes in the subject of Modern Languages and Cultures:
Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world and is an official language in more than 20 countries.
Staff in Glasgow cover a wide range of topics and you will have the opportunity to work with native speakers from different parts of the Spanish-speaking world.
The course you study in first year depends on how much Spanish you have studied before. If you have an SQA Higher or A-level in Spanish (grade A or B), you will take Spanish language and Spanish culture 1. This will build on your knowledge of Spanish and will encourage you to develop fluency in spoken and written Spanish through a course that focuses on the skills needed for everyday communication. You will also study some of the cultures of Spain and Latin America through a variety of topics, texts and films.
If you are a beginner or near-beginner, provided that you have some previous successful language learning experience, you can take the Level-1 beginners' course, which will provide an intensive foundation in reading, writing and speaking Spanish. If you perform well on this course, you can progress to second year and beyond.
The first-year language and culture course leads to Spanish 2, which extends and develops your linguistic skills and builds your knowledge of Spanish culture through the further study of literatures, cultures and societies of the Spanish-speaking world. Students progressing from the first-year beginners' course normally study additional Level-1 cultural materials.
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Flexible degrees.
If you progress to Honours it is essential that you spend your third year abroad, usually as a language assistant in Spain or Latin America on a placement arranged through the British Council, or as a student at a university in a Spanish-speaking country, which can include Spanish America.
We can provide support with arranging a placement with an exchange programme or other foreign placement of your choice.
When you return from your year abroad you will take Spanish as a core language, and select courses from a wide range of linguistic, literary, cultural and historical topics.
There are a wide range of options that allow you to focus either on the culture of a particular country (e.g. Spain, Mexico or Argentina) or on wider themes such as gender issues or legacies of dictatorships in Spain and Latin America.
Applicants to subject-combinations with Psychology must meet the Psychology degree programme entry requirements.
We adjust these entry requirements for eligible applicants, from AABB at S5/S6, based upon completion of a pre-entry programme. For pre-entry programme eligibility and adjusted grade requirements, see Access Glasgow.
Higher applicants to Arts MA degrees must attain, or have attained, grades A/B or B/A at Higher in English Higher and another humanities/language/social science Higher subject at their first sitting to have their application considered. The accepted humanities/languages/social science Higher subjects are listed below:
Typical entry requirements for European qualifications: Arts European Requirements [pdf]
A-level and IB applicants can expect offers to be between the minimum and standard entry requirements depending on demand for places on the degree.
Please note: all A-Level, International Baccalaureate, and other EU entry requirements must be achieved in first sitting.
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training):
Common equivalent English language qualifications:
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Pre-sessional courses
The University of Glasgow accepts evidence of the required language level from the English for Academic Study Unit Pre-sessional courses. We also consider other BALEAP accredited pre-sessional courses:
What do I do if...
The University's School of Modern Languages and Cultures offers a range of Pre-Sessional Courses to bring you up to entry level. The course is accredited by BALEAP, the UK professional association for academic English teaching; see Links.
Please contact the Recruitment and International Office: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you require a Tier 4 student visa, your qualification must be one of the secure English language tests accepted by UK Border Agency:
It is a visa requirement to provide information on your level of English based on an internationally recognised and secure English language test. All test reports must be no more than 2 years old. A list of these can be found on the UK Border Agency website. If you have never taken one of these tests before, you can get an initial idea of your level by using the Common European Framework self-assessment grid which gives you a level for each skill (e.g. listening B1/writing B2 etc.) However, please note that this is not a secure English language test and it is not sufficient evidence of your level of English for visa requirements.
For further information about English language, please see School of Modern Languages and Cultures: English for Academic Study.
Graduates with qualifications in modern languages and cultures have gone on to pursue rewarding careers in the media, teaching (both at home and abroad), journalism, tourism, translating and interpreting, and the civil service, as well as business, commerce and marketing.
When applying you will need to know the UCAS code for the subject or subject-combination that you wish to apply to:
[*] Applicants to subject-combinations with Psychology must meet the Psychology degree programme entry requirements.
How and when you pay tuition fees depends on where you're from: see Tuition fees for details.
We offer a wide range of scholarships to our undergraduates, including both home/EU and international students. The University is committed to supporting students and rewarding academic excellence. That's why we've invested more than £1m in additional scholarship funding in recent years.

We will usually respond before the end of March.
If your qualifications meet our requirements and we believe you could benefit from study at Glasgow, you will receive an unconditional offer.
If you haven't yet gained the necessary passes for entry to your chosen subject(s), we may look at the qualifications you are taking when you apply and make you a conditional offer.
An interview will be part of the selection process for: Community Development, Dentistry, History of Art & Art-world Practice, Medicine, Music, Nursing, Teaching, and Veterinary Medicine & Surgery. You may also be interviewed if you're applying for entry into Year 2 in any subject.
For Dentistry, Nursing and Veterinary Medicine programmes we are unable to consider applications for deferred entry. In other cases deferring may be possible but it's not granted automatically.
Transfers from another University to the University of Glasgow will only be considered under the following circumstances:
We want to help talented applicants from all backgrounds to study at Glasgow. See our range of widening access pre-entry programmes at Widening Participation.

Missed SignalsBy Gregg Sparkman | May 24, 2010 | 3 comments
A new study reveals the hidden costs of cosmetic surgery.
If you're considering a little Botox to wipe out some wrinkles, you might want to think again: A recent study suggests that a shot of Botox might make it more difficult to empathize with others.
In the study, published in Psychological Science, researchers tested people before and two weeks after they received a Botox treatment that paralyzed the brow-wrinkling muscles used in frowns. During the test, they were asked to read sentences describing an emotional situation that made them happy, sad, or angry. In each case, the participants had to give a signal as soon as they had understood the sentence.
The results showed that after the Botox treatment, participants took longer to understand sentences with sad and angry emotions—the emotions typically expressed by the kind of furrowed brow that the participants were no longer capable of making, thanks to the Botox.
These findings point to a complicated relationship between expressing emotions and feeling them. The authors write that their findings back up the "facial feedback hypothesis," which claims that your facial expressions influence both your emotions and your interpretation of emotional signals: If you aren't capable of displaying sad or angry facial expressions, for instance, then you won't feel or see those emotions out in the world as much.
So though it may sound good to live a life free of frowns and negative emotions—not to mention wrinkles—the authors warn that this could have some terrible side effects: You'd be less able to feel empathy for others. For instance, if you get a Botox shot before talking with a friend having a bad day, you might miss your friend's subtle cues that he or she is feeling sad. True, you might not personally feel as much sorrow—but at the cost of being an unsympathetic friend, who struggles to provide social support.

I'm glad to see this article. I've noticed young TV stars are
already getting facelifts. How are their fans supposed to
interpret the star's surgically altered expressions?
This doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, I got my first Botox (actually, Dysport) injection about six weeks ago. A couple of days later, I commented to my partner that I seemed calmer generally, and that things that would usually make me anxious or upset didn't phase me nearly as much. This is a phenomenon the psychological/psychiatric field should definitely investigate further, as there could be beneficial effects for certain people.
Caleigh Lynn Hall | 2:56 pm, June 2, 2010 | Link
After studying neuroscience for many years this
doesn't come as a surprise. Many other studies I have
read point to a strong link between the physical and
emotional connection.
An example is how people find it hard to feel
depressed when sitting or standing with perfect
posture, or even people looking up when they are
about to cry results in them being less able to access
the emotions.

Is it legal for a 20 year-old and a 16 year-old to date?
Question Details:
It is a strictly abstinent relationship and they are 3 1/2 year apart in age.
Dating at any age is not illegal in any state, regardless of the age of the parties. Sexual conduct, as the Ohio statute puts it, is illegal with a minor under the age of 16 years old.
Now, although the age of consent is 16 her parents may still not be happy about the situation and make your life miserable. Be careful for yourself and your girlfriend. Maybe ask her parent's permission to date. It may sound corny but it may open the door to good relations all around.
You can date at just about any age legally. However, if the relationship turns sexual there can be criminal consequences depending on the age of the parties involved. Under OH law, there can be no sexual assault or like offense if both parties are 16 years of age or older. That is because that is the "age of consent". In other words, that is the age when a person can legally consent to have sexual relations; no laws are broken.

The barbie. Clichéd or not, it's an Australian summer institution. A chance for Aussie males to flex their grilling and searing prowess over a hotplate.
More than simply alfresco cooking, the barbeque is a social occasion – simply firing it up is an excuse for a gathering. And where there's a gathering, invariably there's a cold drink or two close at hand with the six-pack being what you bring when you're told not to bring anything.
Whilst a cold can of domestic lager is a thirst-crushing companion to charred meat and the obligatory potato salad, I can't help but feel we're missing a trick here when it comes to barbecue-side libations. Sure, a frosted frothy can really hit the spot, but when I'm entertaining I like there to be options – and with a little effort you, too, can raise the beverage stakes at your shindig.
One of the problems I've encountered with playing host is that I find myself constantly in the kitchen, fixing people drinks with barely a moment to have a real conversation or keep an eye on the steak. Leaving guests to mix their own often ends in disaster, like seeing a prized bottle of 30-year-old single malt getting topped up with cola. Fortunately I've come up with a couple solutions over the years.
Home-made, ready-to-drink cocktails
I've long enjoyed whipping up a batch of home brew, but these days I rarely find the time to put one down. My bench-capper was sitting in the cupboard collecting dust until I figured out a way of putting it to good use.
By taking a cleaned beer or cider bottle, pouring in a spirit of choice and topping with your favourite mixer and a squeeze of citrus, you're able to create mixed drinks ahead of guests arriving - or hand-craft a six-pack with a difference. The capper allows you to seal the drinks, keeping in the fizz, and throw them in an esky. They're like a home-made and upmarket take on the big-selling, expensive concoctions you'll find in the bottle store.
There's several advantages in going down this road – guests can help themselves, you don't have to worry about anyone tucking into your liquor cabinet, and if you carefully measure each drink, guests are better able to keep track of what they drinking.
Some winning combinations to inspire you are: rum and sarsaparilla; rum, whiskey or vodka, fresh lime and ginger beer; Campari and grapefruit soda; Fernet Branca and chinotto; or the classic G&T. The options are endless. Experiment with your own mixes and because you're preparing these ahead of time, no one needs to be subjected to your failures.
The bowl of punch
The subject of punch has been broached in this column before, but still I feel it's an oft-maligned potion that could well do with a second chance and especially at social gatherings such as a barbecue. Now, to clarify, I'm not talking the deadly 'jungle juice' you may have been exposed to at university parties, but rather something much more civilised.
Punch again is a something you can prepare ahead of social gatherings and have stored in the fridge in bowls, jugs, even empty jars, to be topped with ice just before serving. Guests should be encouraged to help themselves, with suitable forewarning about the potency of your secret mix.
Here's a recipe of one of my favourites:
Backyard Gin Punch
(serves 20)
About ½ dozen lemons (to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice)
1 cup castor sugar
1 700ml bottle of London dry gin
1 cup boiling water
2 litres of sparkling mineral water or soda
A good handful of mint plucked from your garden
A punnet of blackberries
Method: Peel three of your lemons and reserve for juicing. Place the peels in a large punch bowl and cover with the sugar. Muddle the peel with the sugar using a wooden spoon or rolling pin. Add your boiling water and stir to dissolve, then allow to cool. Juice your lemons and add along with the gin, then refrigerate the mix for at least four hours.
To finish, top with sparkling water, slip in a large iceberg (place a steel mixing bowl in the freezer to create this), and garnish with the mint and blackberries. Serve in small cups.
I don't think we'll ever see the end of beer being served at a barbecue and neither would I wish for it. I'll be enjoying a few pale ales for the remainder of the summer, or maybe wash down a steak with one of the Barossa's finest. But mix things up, give something new a go – variety is grand and there will always be a constant should you lose your way; a snag on white buttered bread is unquestionably delicious.
What's your favourite barbecue beverage?

Arsène Wenger has thrown his support behind the Premier League's new financial regulations.
This week, Chief Executive Richard Scudamore announced that, from next season, top-flight clubs would have to submit audited accounts and future fiscal information, in addition to demonstrating they are debt-free from both other teams and the tax man. It is the type of monetary transparency for which the Arsenal manager has long campaigned.
"I support that rule," said Wenger. "I have always been for it. In the past, it has created a lot of aggravation between us and Chelsea in the newspapers but it is just what I think is fair.
"Clubs would spend less. But what determines the size of a club normally is the size of its support. At the end of the day if you have 100,000 people in your stadium you are a big club because you have a big audience. That makes the difference."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

As the second series of the Great British Sewing Bee is now firmly underway it seems a good time to share my latest crafty endeavours.
We all know I'm a bit of a sucker for 1960's mini dresses…. remember the original Twiggy dress from last April?
Well now it's got a new companion in the wardrobe with this paisley print a-line mini dress which started life like this…
and ended up like this…
Click here for the easy tutorial to have a go at making your own 60s-style dress.
Sunday really should be renamed Craftday chez vintage as it's the only day I don't work at some point during the day and can whack a CD on and commit a few hours to transforming something from the chazza pile.
I got Kelly Doust's Minxy Vintage How to Customise and Wear Vintage Clothing for Christmas and as I was flicking through it over a cuppa I noticed the Flower Child mini dress.
A huge maternity dress was transformed into a gorgeous a-line mini dress – it was love at first sight and I knew there and then that I needed one of my own.
I'd snaffled a bargainous (if over-sized and unflattering) dress last year for £3 and knew it was the one!
First I lopped off the bottom of the skirt and the unflattering short sleeves and pinned a new hem.
… Worked some sewing machine and wonderweb magic on the hem and sleeves (having recycled the old sleeves to make new interfacings).
… And ended up with this lovely little number that looks fab on its own or with a gorgeous vintage coat flung over it.
This impromptu shoot took place next to a railway bridge (classy!) and this fishing pond that was tucked away down a dirt track.
What do you reckon?
What are your plans for the weekend? I've got the Friday feeling as I'm off to a vintage-themed birthday party tonight and Mama Vintage very kindly made some alterations to my new-to-me dress so I will go to the ball in it. Yay!
Hope you have a good 'un, and please link up to any crafty-type posts – I'd love to read 'em!

Bako, seemingly a black hole at the plate, seems to call a pretty good ballgame. I like his defense behind the plate, and today he came through with the bat.
What happens when Ross comes back? Valentin isn't great defensively, but he's a pretty good pinch hitter. Still, I loathe carrying three catchers.

That's why I have three projects (minimum) going on at once.
I currently am working on a QAYG flip flop/sandals theme quilt (my first QAYG)--just finished the blocks--not have to go read about how to join them, a snowball with green and flowers (both of which were ideas from others here on this board) and a couple of Irish chains.
Then, when I don't feel like doing anything else, I'm sewing scraps onadding machine tape. Also, I'm trimming 6" half square triangles (light/dark) down to 5" and with which I hope to make a neat looking scrappy top someday.
