Health Insurance: Health Insurance is mandatory for all study abroad students. HPU recommends health insurance from Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) for students study abroad. There is more information medical coverage and rates of CISI health insurance at http://www.culturalinsurance.com/
In order to enrol as an exchange student at the BSEL you are required to hold a valid health insurance for the whole period of their stay. (One of the most important criteria for validity is that there are no financial limitations for medical coverage.) German health insurance companies offer special student coverage for approximately 80 Euros per month.
Students from EU countries may keep their own home health insurances as well as their own private insurances and must bring their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which in case of illness is also valid in Germany. Students from non-EU countries who do not possess a health insurance valid for Germany from their home country can sign a contract with a German health insurance company on the Orientation Day/Welcome Day. For more information on FHW Berlin, see here.
Housing Accommodations: Housing is arranged by Studentenwerk (Student Accommodation Organization), a Berlin municipal government entity. Housing begins on Mar. 1 and the average monthly rent is 200-250 € per month.
Execursions: Study visits to companies and (political) institutions once a week enable sutdents to combine theory and practice. Berlin, as a venue for significant politial and economic developments in Germany and Europe, provides the ideal location for this approach. Visits lead to major companies such as Volkswagen and Daimler, and to institutions such as the German Parialment and the Representation of the European Union.
Currency: The current exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro can be calculated online at http://finance.yahoo.com/currency
Visa Information: U.S. citizens do not need a visa to study in Germany. After arrival you receive a resident permit.

'Mistakes don't define you': Watch Steve Harvey speak on Miss Universe mix-up
After an embarrassing moment in which TV presenter Steve Harvey crowned the wrong Miss Universe, the author has dedicated an episode of his daytime show to discussing the mix-up and to offer a motivational message.
Harvey addressed the controversial Miss Universe drama on his show and invited Miss Columbia and Philippines to speak about what happened. Harvey also had an inspirational message to share about what he had taken from the public humiliation that had ensued from the debacle.
"Whenever something has happened in my life, every time I was elevated to a new position, something seemingly tragic happens along the way. Not so much tragic, but let's just say challenging. And people have so often times asked me, 'How do you keep looking at the positive? Why do you think there is some upside to this? Weren't you embarrassed? Didn't you feel humiliation?' Ok, I guess so. I guess there were moments of all of that.'
Steve speaks about overcoming embarrassment
"But I wasn't raised to allow a mistake to determine my future or to erase all that I've done in my life [just] because you've made a mistake. And none of you should do that. None of you should allow a mistake to define the rest of your life. So what [if] you made a mistake? Get up and go again. Go again!"
Miss Columbia speaks to Steve Harvey on his show.
"My father taught me to be a man. My mother, though, taught me an equal if not more valuable lesson. She was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me about faith. So listen to me: Don't let anybody shake your faith. Because it was the only thing that got me through all of this!"

Your article "Newcomer Challenges Liccardo," MetroNews, Oct. 23, was misleading about the Britannia Arms' involvement in an ill-advised negative campaign against Councilmember Sam Liccardo. The owners of the Britannia Arms have not met with Tim Hennessey and we do not endorse him. As vice-president of the San Jose Restaurant and Entertainment Association (SJREA), I can tell you that the majority of hospitality-related businesses do not share the views expressed by the article.
The reality is that the Brit has a strong and positive relationship with Councilmember Liccardo, as does the SJREA. We worked together, along with the mayor, other City Council members and the San Jose Police Department to improve the policing model downtown for the benefit of all entertainment zone businesses and patrons. I believe that downtown business owners, Councilmember Liccardo and the San Jose Police Department are dedicated to working with all stakeholders to improve our downtown. A negative campaign is a distraction we do not need

This is work. Across the street from my shop was a known crack house. The police were there at least two to three times a week. Deaths, overdoses and attempted murders happened there regularly. The police did nothing about it. They didn't even have to dig very deep to find out that the landlord was more of the problem than the tenants. But the city had to shut me down because somehow I was more of a threat.
But enough of that rant. Back to the subject of Moto Amore ("Ridden Out of Town," MetroNews, Aug. 19). Granted, I'm sure there were complaints. It seems like everyone has a complaint about everything. The city acts like a big brother and bullies out the business that causes the complaint. Where Moto Amore was located, I can think of a thousand other things to complain about than his shop. Just stand on that corner of 10th and Santa Clara at 10 at night, and you will know what I'm talking about.
It almost seems like the city wants small businesses like Moto Amore to be located downtown, but they want it done their way or no way at all.
My two pennies.

Great job showcasing a local artist ("Materials Girl," Style, Nov. 4)! This is interesting. I have been making jewelry out of wisdom teeth for family members for the last 17 years! Most tend to think it's a bit morbid or creepy. Nice to see a write-up about "recycled" art!

Thanks for a great article about the SF Women's Comedy Competition ("Lip Shtick Comediennes," Cover Story, Nov. 4)! More people in the Bay Area need to know about the great comedy scene here, and younger female comics need to know they can thrive here.

Just as indigenous peoples from particularly frosty climates have upwards of 100 different terms for the word "snow," so too does manufacturer Architectural Systems have multiple, manifold expressions for the concept of "white"—namely, in the form of the various incarnations of glass mosaics in the new Winter Wonderland Collection.
Architectural Systems' Ice Metrix Glass Mosaics are Easy to Install
Given that the Ice Metrix collection features eight distinct styles of tiles and two different sizes (12"x12" or 12"x13"), it may be a godsend that installation is a snap, because you just might want to sample more than one of these manifestly subtle different shades and shapes. Ice Metrix runs the gamut of white: from icy shades so pure that they're nearly transparent to a design of matte squares in alternating tones of iridescent silvers and grays.
With Ice Metrix, the typical difficulties of installation are tempered—if you'll pardon the pun—courtesy of a versatile mesh backing system that facilitates quick installs for both interior and exterior applications.
For specifying information, contact Architectural Systems at 212.206.1730.
About the Manufacturer: Since their inception in 1990, NYC-based Architectural Systems Inc. has been known for their "fresh, innovative solutions for commercial interiors." The company's collection encompasses wood panels, flooring, and luxury decorative surfaces such as glass mosaics and designer laminate.

Feb 25, 2014 - The Associated PressBISMARCK, N.D. -- One of the five North Dakota snowmobilers who spent two frigid nights lost in northern Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains said he ate snow to stay hydrated and prayed that he would survive.
"The second night was really tough," Chad Tweeten said. "I didn't know if I was going to make it. I just said, 'You're not going to die like this.'"
The five were found safe Saturday afternoon. None of them required medical attention. They are all back home in McLean County, in central North Dakota.
Tweeten, James Murray and his son, Jaren Murray, and Rod Schilling and his stepson, Dustin Schlichting, lost their way when a snowstorm blew in while they were riding Thursday. They got a compass reading from Tweeten's cellphone but ended up going in the wrong direction.
"When you lose your line of sight it just sucks," Tweeten said. "It was a bad situation. We're not boneheads who drove until we ran out of gas."
Tweeten became separated from the others and spent two nights alone enduring what he called "savage" winds. He took shelter under a pine tree and walked in place to keep warm, praying and thinking about his family to keep him moving.
"I thought, 'Don't panic. You can do this,'" he said.
The other four eventually found Tweeten. Rescuers, guided by a ping from Tweeten's cellphone from when he used the compass, found the group.
"Those rescue guys were outstanding," Tweeten said. "I can't say enough."
Shawn Schafer, a friend of the five men who was in the area on a snowmobile trip of his own, helped in the search.
"We spent (Saturday) night celebrating, as many of their family and friends arrived just as they announced they had been found," he said.

Alternate Picking 101: Let's Get Picky
We guitarists often spend so much time trying to learn the intricacies of fretting technique that years may go by before we bring our attention to the picking hand. Once we do, though, we find that alternate picking occupies a primary place in most quick-pickers' techniques. Simply put, alternate picking is the technique of using alternating down and up strokes to maximize picking motion, particularly when playing single-string lines.
Let's imagine for a moment that all you can do is pick down-down-down-down, sort of like the continuous rhythm style of many metal players. While the resulting sound is extremely successful in some applications, it is quite limiting when quickness and string-to-string agility is needed. Think about the picking motion for a minute: if the pick hits the string on a down stroke, then passes by the string to come swooping in for another down stroke, well, why not pick the string again while moving upwards instead of passing it by? Adding an up stroke for every down stroke could effectively double your playing speed.
Of course it's never as simple as that. Even if you use down strokes and up strokes in equal measure, the fine points of alternate picking can prove daunting. But not impossibly so. Remember that whenever you choose to study a technique in depth, the best guide is a fellow human being with experience, so look long and hard for a good instructor. Anyone with a well thought-out approach to picking will probably agree on the following points:
The pick should be held between the thumb and first finger. The pick should be perpendicular to the plane of the strings and parallel to the strings themselves. In other words, don't angle the pick. The picking motion should come from the wrist, and should be as concise as possible. Good alternate pickers make it look effortless. Use a firm pick that is also thin and with a fine point. The crook of your elbow should lock with the body of the guitar. Beyond that, your arm and hand should be totally free of the guitar. You will progress most consistently if you apply yourself to a couple of good exercises, and accept the metronome as your guru.
The all-time classic exercise to get your alternate picking up to speed is a simple but effective one. Begin with your first finger on the first fret of the low E string. Starting with a down stroke, and always alternating between down strokes [V] and up strokes [^], play four notes per string as you climb up the strings. The pattern shown here turns you around on the high E string with an extra note and sets you up for comfortable alternate picking on the way back down.
Be sure to alternate! Keep steady time--don't set a pace you can't maintain--and start over at the beginning when you flub a note. It looks something like this, in tablature:
This gives your fretting hand a pattern that is easy to play so you can focus on your picking. The picking for this pattern simply consists of down stroke, up stroke, down stroke, up stroke in a consistent and even rhythm.
When I show this pattern to beginners, I like to start at one note per beat with the metronome at a leisurely 60 to 80 beats per minute (BPM). Once the speed enters the 120 BPM range, the player can continue to increase the speed by cutting the metronome setting in half; i.e., setting the metronome to 60 while playing 120 notes per minute, and gradually increasing from there. Again, when the metronome approaches the 120 mark, it can be cut in half again. This seemingly simple process can take most dedicated beginners a year or more to accomplish.
Good luck, and in the words of speed-picker extraordinaire Paul Gilbert: "May your notes sound like baseball cards in bicycle spokes!"
Douglas Baldwin has studied with John Scofield and Robert Fripp and has played every kind of gig imaginable. He currently heads the Coyote Music instructional studio in St. James, New York.

Wound Care Center celebrates milestone
The Medwest-Haywood Wound Care Center has reached a milestone of 15 years of serving the community.
The wound clinic began on the second floor of the Haywood Hospital in 1997. At that time, the wound center consisted of a team of one physical therapist and one physical therapist assistant, LuAnn Ledford, PTA, CWS. The Wound Care Center was only able to provide part time wound care three days a week. The demand for the medical care of wounds has grown tremendously over the past 15 years, and the MedWest-Haywood Wound Care Center has grown with it.
The Wound Care Center is now located on Hazelwood Avenue in Waynesville and is currently staffed with five full time employees including four physical therapists — LuAnn Ledford, PTA, CWS (Certified Wound Care Specialist); Renee Rowland, PT; Susan Hooper, PTA; Roxanne Pope, PTA; and wound tech, Robyn Jackson.
The Wound Care Center now provides wound care five days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on weekends, if needed.
Wounds that are treated at the MedWest-Haywood Wound Care Clinic include diabetic foot ulcers, wounds from compromised circulation of lower legs and feet, cysts or abscesses, surgical wounds, infected wounds, as well as traumatic/accidental and spider bites.
The Wound Care Center's goal is to assist the patient with wound recovery as quick and painless as possible through the use of advanced treatments and dressing.
The MedWest-Haywood Wound Care Center's makes every effort to ensure patients feel safe, valued, and assured that they will receive the excellent care they deserve.
The Wound Care Center is located at, 556 Hazelwood Ave., in Waynesville. A physician's referral is required to receive wound care. For more information, contact the Wound Care Center at 452-8594.

Very unstable. It doesn't scan netbios any better than a freeware scanner in a workgroup without Active Directory. Probably works better for domains? I at least hope it does, because there are freeware Netbios scanners that do a better job.
Reviewing 5.0 Beta (Feb 12, 2003)
I use "Ideal administration" found better Administration app.
while Hyena was buggy at that time when I test it, (i guess ver. 4), Now gotta see "what they implement in this new ver.)
Reviewing 4.2 Beta (Apr 30, 2002)
Like the other posts, this is an excellent program. I also use it on a daily basis as a System Administrator of a large network. The program does almost everything that you need in a nice, and easy to use interface. I would like to se a couple options added that would be nice for my paticular enviroment. It would be nice if the user could Copy/Paste Group Membership information to the Windows Clipboard, for use in other windows programs. ie. from the properties of a User object, highlight all Groups that this use is a member of, the be able to copy and paste this information to other Windows Programs. Also allowing this same type of behaviour for Exchange Distro. Membership would be great as well.
It's a shame it can't get more than 5 *****, A MUST Have addition for the software toolbox of any Windows System Administrator!!!!
Reviewing 4.2 Beta (Apr 30, 2002)
Installed it this morning and sent myselft a SMS.
It told me it was successfully sent (Itineris - France) but I still havent received it (it's the end of the afternoon...)
Reviewing 4.2 Beta (Apr 30, 2002)
It does pretty much everything!
One feature I would like to see is the abiitly to manage an Exchange organisation (or at least to view it)
To take it a stage further, drop down boxes for some of the user details to limit choices (user definable). Would make it best thing ever... but it does the job for me

Clarins At-A-Glance
Strengths: Broad selection of effective, broad-spectrum sunscreens; some good self-tanning products; some good cleansers and gentle topical scrubs; a great foundation primer; superb foundations and powders; very good powder blush; wonderfully creamy lipsticks; great lip glosses and mascaras.
Weaknesses: Overpriced; pervasive reliance on jar packaging; most products have more fragrance than beneficial plant extracts; poor toners; an overabundance of average moisturizers; no effective products for lightening discolorations or treating acne; no AHA or BHA products; disappointing eye pencils; average eyeshadows and makeup brushes.
Clarins is a distinctively French line whose beginnings go back to 1954. It was then that founder Jacques Courtin-Clarins began formulating plant-based treatments for his clients. He parlayed this into a Beauty Institute, and from there, with an all-natural mantra that was slightly ahead of its time, the business grew. Never wavering from its original marketing angle, Clarins has steadfastly held on to the belief that whatever grows from the ground and smells nice must be the cure for every skin ailment, from breakouts to loss of firmness to the dreaded "sponginess" of cellulite. A visit to today's white- and red-trimmed Clarins counter confirms that the plant-based, natural-extract rhetoric is still intact, and the counter staff is eager to discuss it (yet ask them what some of the non-plant, unnatural ingredients are doing in their products and you may be met with a blank stare).
You'll also find that Clarins routinely offers facial appointments at their counters, yet more often than not these appointments, which are done behind a privacy screen, are about selling products, not about performing a legitimate facial. (For example, cleansing, toning, and facial massage are included, while extractions are not.) One other point of difference you may hear about is the Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex. First added to their products in 1991, this Complex consists of a group of plant extracts — though what they may be is a mystery, since all manner of plant extracts show up in these products, with few repeats. This "high-performing" protection is supposed to shield skin from pollutant gases, corrosive particles, and industrial emissions. Although that sounds good, it's not true and there isn't a shred of proof to the contrary (Clarins research is unpublished). Plant extracts, alone or in combination — regardless of the remote locations they may come from — cannot keep pollution off the skin. If anything, the amount of fragrance in these products can weaken the skin's defense mechanisms, resulting in more damage from the pollution our skin encounters daily.
This line is enormous, and is absolutely one of the most cumbersome around. Within it, the assortment of plant extracts ranges from the usual to the exotic and ultimately to the no-one-knows-what-in-the-heck-these-are! Clarins has something for every skin concern imaginable—from keeping pollution off the face (not possible) to lifting a sagging jaw line (not possible without surgery), and even protecting skin from electromagnetic waves (give me a break). It would seem there is nothing these supposedly miraculous products can't do! And you'll find a horde of plants here with the promise that this can really all come true.
However, once you're armed with even a modicum of ingredient knowledge and a fair helping of myth-busting, you'll realize how ridiculously out of whack all of this hype is. That's not to imply that all of these products are bad—there are good ones—or that all of the plant extracts aren't good—because many are very good anti-irritants, antioxidants, emollients, or antibacterial agents. However, many plant extracts are also potential allergens or skin irritants. Clarins also has its fair share of ordinary, standard, and completely unnecessary products whose claims are at best misleading and at worst downright false, and overall the products are incredibly overpriced for what you get. What is most startling is the redundancy among the Clarins products. There are few differences, for example, between the moisturizers and the mask cleansers, and the oil-control products are more reruns than they are new alternatives for skin care.
Note: All Clarins products contain fragrance.

Clarins Makeup
Clarins showcases its prodigious skin-care products so prominently that you may not have noticed that their excellent makeup collection has become even more impressive. Evaluating Clarins makeup is 180 degrees different from evaluating the lackluster and confusing assortment of skin-care products they sell. When it comes to foundations, powders, and lipsticks, texture is critically important. Luckily, this is where Clarins color line excels, despite premium prices and going a bit overboard with fragrance. Their foundations are marvelous, the lone concealer is much better than their former attempts in this area, and every powder-based product feels incomparably silky while looking stunningly smooth on skin. (Keep in mind, however, that even the best makeup looks only as good as the skin on which it is applied.) Giving Lancome and Dior a run for their money, Clarins' mascaras are surprisingly good, and at least their lipsticks feel as rich as you'll need to be to afford repeat purchases. You don't need to spend this much money to get beautiful results and stellar products, but if your budget allows you to fill your makeup bag with department-store products, Clarins' nicely organized makeup display should be one of your first stops.
Clarins likes to promote that many of their foundations contain a special anti-pollution complex to safeguard your skin. Don't believe it for a second, because there is no way to completely shield skin from the effects of pollution and antioxidants. Besides, the kinds of ingredients that can reduce, not block or eliminate, pollution-based free-radical formation are rarely included in Clarins makeup.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

Some dogs don't feel well for a day or two after getting shots. If it continues for much longer, then have a vet check her out.

Its a reaction. Some dogs have more drastic reactions, some dogs have milder ones.
Its the shot that causes it, overvaccination causes more problems than it helps.
Most dogs you can just vaccinate ONCE when they are puppies and don't ever need it again.
However, with rabies you are required to get it every 1 or 3 yrs unless you are allowed to titer test every year because the dog had a bad reaction.
Call your vet who gave the shot and ask about it.
If it doesn't go away, take her into the vet to be looked at.

I would call the vet right away so he can also note it on her record. Yorkies are usually more sensitive to Booster shots then the rabies, however if she had a booster shot within the last 2 week, and then the rabies shots its just to much on her system.
If you don't see a change within 24 hrs then you should definitely run her to the vet. I went though this with my Maltese's years ago. I learned to spread their shots out. And when they reached six years old, I had a tither done, for their rabies immunity level. They never needed another rabies shot. They lived to 14 and 16 years old.

I agree you should check with your vet. I never had this problem with my dogs, but I've had vax problems with 2 of my cats. One is sensitive to vax & gets benedryl shots with them. The other has had a V.A.S. (Vaccine Associated Sarcoma) due to over-vax'ing. He had to get the killed-virus rabies shots. Check with your vet, I'm betting your dog needs benedryl w/vax. Meanwhile, I would do some research on "over-vaccinating." Be careful what vets you ask, too. Many vets are sweeping this problem under the rug & keeping hush-hush about it, as vaccines R their prime source of income. However, science has learned that vaccines build up in the blood and are turning out to be necessary far less frequently than once thought. Some vaccinations aren't necessary more than once in their lifetime and given the risks, some aren't really necessary at all, many think. Of course, rabies is regulated by law, so there isn't much to do about that one, but check all this out. Start on Google & Metacrawler.

Berlin/Sofia/Brussels: EU officials, alarmed by protests in European cities over the weekend, are asserting that a new international anti-counterfeiting treaty will change nothing at all for EU citizens – but that the bloc must ratify it as an example to other countries.
One official says that, "for the European citizen, whatever is legal today will continue to be legal the day after ACTA comes into force." ACTA stands for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity in exchange for briefing reporters on the content of the treaty – a common European Union practice.
On Saturday, protesters in Berlin, Helsinki and many other European cities said they feared the treaty would lead to censorship and a loss of privacy on the Internet.
Tens of thousands of protesters took part in rallies across Europe on Saturday against an international anti-piracy agreement they fear will curb their freedom to download movies and music for free and encourage Internet surveillance.
More than 25,000 demonstrators braved freezing temperatures in German cities to march against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) while 4,000 Bulgarians in Sofia rallied against the agreement designed to strengthen the legal framework for intellectual property rights.
There were thousands more – mostly young – demonstrators at other high-spirited rallies despite snow and freezing temperatures in cities including Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Bucharest, Vilnius, Paris, Brussels and Dublin.
"We don't feel safe anymore. The Internet was one of the few places where we could act freely," said Monica Tepelus, a 26-year-old programmer protesting with about 300 people in Bucharest.
Opposition to ACTA in Eastern Europe is especially strong and spreading rapidly. Protesters have compared it to the Big Brother-style surveillance used by former Communist regimes. Downloading films and music is also a popular way for many young Eastern Europeans to obtain free entertainment.
"Stop ACTA!" read a banner carried by one of the 2,000 marchers in central Berlin, where temperatures were -10 Celsius.
"It's not acceptable to sacrifice the rights of freedom for copyrights," Thomas Pfeiffer, a leader of the Greens party in Munich where 16,000 people protested against ACTA, was quoted telling Focus magazine's online edition on Saturday.
Governments of eight nations including Japan and the United Stated signed an agreement in October aiming to cut copyright and trademark theft. The signing was hailed as a step toward bringing ACTA into effect.
Negotiations over ACTA have been taking place for several years. Some European countries have signed ACTA but it has not yet been signed or ratified in many countries. Germany's Foreign Ministry said on Friday it would hold off on signing.
In Sofia, most of 4,000 demonstrators on Saturday were youths. Some wore the grinning, moustachioed Guy Fawkes masks that have become a symbol of the hacker group Anonymous and other global protest movements.
ACTA aims to cut trademark theft and tackle other online piracy. But the accord has sparked concerns, especially in Eastern European countries as well as in Germany which is sensitive about its history with the Gestapo and Stasi secret police, over online censorship and increased surveillance.
"We want ACTA stopped," Yanko Petrov, who attended the rally in Sofia, told state broadcaster BNT. "We have our own laws, we don't need international acts."
The protesters are concerned that free downloading of movies and music might lead to prison sentences if the ACTA was ratified by parliaments. They also fear that exchanging material on the Internet may become a crime and say the accord will allow for massive online surveillance.
In Warsaw, some 500 protesters demonstrated, brandishing placards saying "No to ACTA", "Down with censorship" and "Free Internet". Several hundred turned out in the southwestern city of Wroclaw, the Baltic port of Szczecin and Poznan.
In Paris, about 1,000 people marched ACTA. "It's a demonstration without precedent because it's taking place in all of Europe at the same time," said Jeremie Zimmermann, spokesman for Internet freedom group Quadrature du Net.
In Prague, about 1,500 people marched against ACTA. Some waved black pirate flags with white skull and crossed bones, and others wore white masks of the Guy Fawkes character.
Some carried banners against the ACTA treaty such as "Freedom to the Internet" and "ACTA attacks Freedom", and chanted "Freedom, Freedom". Smaller gatherings took place in other Czech cities.
The Czech government has held off on ratification of the ACTA treaty, saying it needs to be analysed.
Romanian state-news agency Agerpres said 2,000 people protested in the Transylvanian city of Cluj against ACTA, carrying banners that said: "Paws off the Internet."
In Croatia, protests were held in Zagreb, Split and Rijeka, with demonstrators, some masked, carrying banners reading "Stop internet censorship".
A group identifying itself as Anonymous hacked into the webpage of Croatian president Ivo Josipovic, who has defended copyright measures. It remained unavailable for several hours.
It also crashed the pages of ZAMP, a Croatian professional service that looks after the protection of composers' rights and copyright, and the Institute of Croatian Music.
In Bratislava, hundreds of young Slovaks rallied, many also wearing Guy Fawkes masks. About 1,000 people demonstrated in Budapest.
Local media reported about 600 people protested at the government building in Vilnius. Lithuania Justice Minister Remigijus Simasius said in his blog some of ACTA's provisions could pose a threat to Internet freedom.
"I don't know where it (ACTA) comes from and how it originated, but I don't like that this treaty was signed skillfully avoiding discussions in the European Union and Lithuania," Simasius wrote.

A healthy Kevin Youkilis wants a Gold Glove at 3B
|02.15.11 at 10:00 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — If Kevin Youkilis fields third base the way he fielded questions for 20 minutes Tuesday morning inside the Red Sox minor league complex, he'll have no problem achieving one of his goals in 2011 – a Gold Glove at third base to match his one already on the mantle for first base.
He touched on several topics, his surgically repaired right thumb, missing Victor Martinez and Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols eventually getting his money, making the move to becoming a full-time third baseman and his distaste for talking to opponents when he played first base.
Youkilis pronounced himself fully healthy and ready for the next challenge of his career. The veteran infielder, who won the American League Gold Glove at first base in 2007, is looking for the same honor at third base this season.
"As long as I'm not making mental errors, that's the key," Youkilis said. "It'd be cool if I could play just as well at third base and try to win a Gold Glove. There's a lot of great third basemen out there. It'd be cool. If I could play at a high level and win a Gold Glove at third base and first base, that'd be awesome.
"But, for me, I'm not worried about the accolades. I'm just worried about making the routine plays and trying to make a couple of great plays here and there to get our pitchers out of some jams."
Francona said he has no doubt that Youkilis will make a smooth transition to third, where he was an All-American while at the University of Cincinnati.
"I think he's always viewed himself as a third baseman," Francona said. "A couple years there he thought he was Happy Gilmore."
Youkilis, who said his right thumb is 100 percent after a winter of conditioning and strengthening, said he will have no problem moving back to third base on a full time basis since he filled in the injured Mike Lowell several times last season.
"I've been a third baseman all my life, played third base at the major league level quite a few times and played over there when Mike Lowell was hurt," Youkilis added. "I feel great. Body feeling's good. The hand is feeling good. Just got in good shape like normal. Just ready to go out and play third base this year. There are no restrictions. All the good stuff that comes with baseball I can do."
Something Youkilis doesn't consider good stuff is trying to be a social director at first base. In other words, he's no Sean Casey.
"It's just not interesting," Youkilis said. "It's fun sometimes if you have guys you know and you've played against. There's some guys you might not care for too much. You get to know people over there, too. You get to understand people a lot more. But the social scene over there, I can do without. I've never been a social-scene kind of guy.
"It's not fun. You want no-hitters and perfect games thrown where you don't have to cover the base, but that's not possible all the time. For me, I'll leave it to Sean Casey, Jim Thome, guys that are really good over there. Kevin Millar. I'll leave it to them to master that.'
As for Pujols, who has a Wednesday deadline for the Cardinals to get an extension done, Youkilis is pretty sure that he'll be taken care of somewhere.
"I think he'll be happy somewhere, getting paid a lot of money," Youkilis said. "If he wants to come to the AL East and face some of this pitching, he can come."

Twenty years ago, on Dec. 24th, I was still teaching school. I had the day off, and so did my kids. So with my children in tow, I trudged down to the incorporation office and filed the documents to incorporate my company. The government office was quite empty. Who in their right mind would spend Dec. 24th filing incorporation documents except perhaps a teacher who had prepared everything from a do-it-yourself manual and had no other days off? I remember my son and daughter taking over the deserted office area, pelting rolled up mittons at each other, while the documents were being processed.
We've probably sold over a million resources by now used in dozens of countries around the world. It's a happy anniversary. Sometimes taking a chance is a good thing.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I am happy to say I own this baby Beamer starter model 316ti SE. BMW's are known worldwide for their excellent in build and engineering. BMW cars are said to last very long and I totally agree with this as the Compact hatchback range is no exception.
The manufacturer has gone to great pains with model updates to ensure the success story continues by refusing to compromise on quality, and strengthening the all-important element of desirability.
The model I chose to test drive was a black 316ti SE and after initially parking it up alongside a 7 Series, I felt I'd got the same attention to detail, the same superb build, refinement and status.
The 316ti SE uses the same revolutionary Valvetronic 1.8 litre petrol engine, a 115bhp British built four-cylinder unit. Valvetronic means the engine offers the same fuel economy as an advanced direct-injection engine, but without the need for elaborate emission management technologies. In short, it has cut harmful emissions by 10%, and increased power by the same amount - in case your wondering!
It doesn't require sulphur-free fuel like a direct injection petrol engine, either: it can run on all commercially available grades of regular petrol.
You can easily coax 50mpg out of it taking things easy around town, because the 316ti's real power doesn't punch in until your well up the rev counter (very handy on the roads today).
I am a tall driver so the BMW is great for lowering the front seat, which thankfully meets my driving needs. One thing I would like to point out is that the offset pedals did take a little adapting to when I first bought the car.
The SE specification gives the BMW car a reasonable kit and good passenger safety features. The kit makes the car look sporty and modified which I believe is great if you like to turn heads on the streets.
But BMW, like Mercedes and Audi, love to charge extra for the extras. It came with £3000 of add-ons. Included was £95 for the colour-coded door handles, and I think I could live without the SE's original alloys, without paying another £1,540 for the supplied seven-star wheels.
I would sadly say that the 316ti has one disadvantage that the inclusive automatic air conditioning went down to 16 degrees, one degree under room temerature. So on a hot summer's day, don't expect to have your cold air condition on as the air condition being turned on makes no difference whatsoever.
The new Compact is a fantastic car with superb build and engineering but beware of the extras which can take your total outlay from a relatively cheap amount.
I would recommend anyone to buy the BMW 3series but I want you to be aware that it does cost a lot to maintain.
BMW 3 Series Compact 316ti SE

Power and Light Pub Crawl article
We met at 6:15 on a balmy Wednesday evening, appropriately, at the Drum Room of the Hilton President Hotel, which was shuttered for 25 years before being restored to its elegance. At one time the top drinking spot for the city's social and political elite, the Drum Room also is enjoying a rebirth as the senior statesman among the district's bars.
Pam the bartender suggested the Ultimate Preztini, which consisted of Grey Goose vodka, Cointreau and white cranberry juice with "Grand Marnier-infused craisins." The tab was $16.46, and the taste was a bit sweet for a guy who likes vodka, straight up, flavored only by a lemon twist.
Mahoney gave an update: Five bars had not yet opened for business, so we were looking at 20. We devised a game plan — one signature drink at each bar, with two glasses for sharing.
The Bristol Seafood Grill was sleek and contemporary, with lots of black granite. Henri whipped up a "Pink Pop," which had premium French vodka, fruit juices and Domaine Ste. Michelle cuvee brut champagne, for $9.50. "Tastes like a lemonade fizz," Mahoney said.
Henri sensed we weren't impressed and offered a second choice, but we stuck to our one-drink-per-bar rule. Across the street was the Chipotle Mexican Grill, where we chugged a Negra Modelo beer for three bucks. We were joined by Jon Stephens, marketing director for the Baltimore-based Cordish development company, which built the Kansas City Power & Light District.
Cordish also is the developer for the Ballpark Village project in St. Louis, and Stephens was ready for my first question. When will we see some action, other than ducks swimming, in the mudhole next to Busch Stadium?
"We're very confident it will be developed in time," Stephens offered in his best PR-ese. "The key there is to look at the track record of success — what's been built on the western side of the state."
Stephens was an amiable addition and an important cog in our crawl because lines were forming at the doors to the district's trendier clubs. Stephens could get us through the crowds of bikers and their babes with a wave of his hand.
First, we strolled into Lucky Strike Lanes, a retro bowling alley where you could toss a ball down neon-lit lanes or gather in the lounge with drinks in glowing cups that looked radioactive. The signature mojito was sweetly tart and sold for just $4 during happy hour and $9 after that. "Last Thursday, we made like 400 of them in three hours," the bartender said.
At 7:30 p.m. Tengo Sed Cantina became our fifth stop. A top-shelf margarita, with Padron tequila, was $8.50 and excellent, but reminded us we had not eaten dinner. We went for the El Guapa, which was $25 and billed as "the most bueno party platter of all time." The bar also serves a "hubcap margarita," which is a real vintage chrome hubcap filled to the brim.
Bar No. 6 was Maker's Mark Bourbon House & Lounge, where we got a perfect Manhattan, a golden-hued drink with a cherry resting at the bottom. We had been joined early on by a writer for Southern Living magazine, but she bolted the crawl after the Manhattan. "You newspaper guys are hard core," she muttered, before disappearing into the mass of bikers.
Raglan Road, an Irish pub, was a real treat. The entire wood interior came from old pubs around Dublin, seven shipping containers full. I was heading for a Boddington's Cream Ale before Mahoney announced that she had a favorite here, a "Black Velvet" made from Magner's Irish Cider beer and Guinness. It was so good we broke our vow and ordered another. Suddenly, a young costumed dancer climbed on the table in front of me and did a spirited jig while the two-man band played. "That's Danielle," Stephens said. "Every man in Kansas City who sees her dance is in love with her."
Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que may have good barbecue, but the "Sweet Momma's Punch" was meant for sorority girls. The Montana Margarita at Ted's Montana Grill, that's Ted as in Turner, was much better. Maybe it was the hand-squeezed lemons, or the Jose Cuervo 1800.
The bartender noticed me taking notes and asked about the crawl. A biker was drinking with his lady at the bar and eavesdropped. "You guys are getting paid to get drunk — that's awesome!" he yelled. "But you're gonna be hurting in the morning."
My notes, by the way, were starting to look like I was writing with the wrong hand.
At 9:54 p.m., we took a breather at stop No. 10, a fast-food place called chefBurger that made spiked milk shakes. The Grasshopper was mint ice cream, chocolate sauce, a mashed Oreo cookie and Creme de Menthe, and sold for $8.85.
The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Big Sky Cowboy Bar was my most momentous stop. I was watching the guys fall off the mechanical bull, when a roar indicated a better show was starting at the bar. Three female bartenders in cowboy hats jumped on the bar to dance, removing their cowboy shirts to reveal black bras, but keeping on the hats.
I got the attention of one, and she said the signature serving was a can of Monster energy drink that had to be "shotgunned." When I looked puzzled, she jumped down and came around front to demonstrate. Using a can opener to puncture the bottom of the sideways can, she popped the top, and the contents sprayed all over her front. She gave what was left to me.
The scene was even more lively next door at Angels Rock Bar, a high-intensity club with strobe lights, heavy chains for curtains, and bartenders in fish-net stockings. "We don't have signature drinks, we have signature shots," said one. She poured a shot, with a chaser, but neither Mahoney nor I could choke it down. The main ingredient was Jagermeister, and the concoction was called "liquid cocaine."
At 10:44, we could see light at the end of the tunnel, finding an ultra chic respite at Mosaic, which specializes in "bottle service" at its tables. Bartender Katie Garcia made a "watermelon wine cooler," which had vodka over muddled fresh watermelon, topped off with white wine and sugar on the rim. Delicious, and $10.
No. 14 was Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant, where we ordered a flight of beer samplers. Flying Saucer Draught Emporium also specialized in beer, offering 75 on tap and a total of 225. A computer kept score for the bar's leading beer drinkers and the top spot was claimed by one Michael Krueger, who had sampled 111. Hah, he should spend a night or two with Mahoney and me.
Fuego was a walk-up bar, serving draft beer. No. 17 was supposed to be Vinino Wine Bar & Bistro, but it had closed early. A glass of wine didn't sound too appealing, anyway. We headed to McFadden's Sports Saloon, where the signature drink was Three Olives grape vodka and Sprite for $5.75. Ten TVs were going, and Nate Bagby and Seasonal Labor were playing.
We finished at No. 18, an open-air seating area called the Living Room in the middle of the outdoor plaza. The last of the bikers was straggling about, and we relaxed after a hard night's work on the comfy seats. The signature drink was a KC Crush, made with Bombora vodka, fresh squeezed lemon and lime, simple syrup and Sprite for $7. It was so refreshing I considered ordering another one, for a brief moment.
Perusing my notes at midnight to clarify the jumbled entries, I asked Mahoney, "Do you realize what we drank tonight?"
"No," she replied. "And please don't tell me."
Thanks for the suggestions! You guys are the best! :)
I'm in town bitches...
Now, get over here and suck your bitches dick!

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Enhanced with Aminogen enzyme formula proven to increase protein digestibility and amino acid absorption!
Paradise Maca Up vegetarian energy protein is a complete source of vegan, hypo-allergenic protein with a balanced amino acid profile derived from non-GMO organic brown rice and non-GMO organic pea. Pea protein is easily assimilated and has a sustained release transit time, which means it has excellent digestibility and keeps working. We have further enhanced our formula with the addition of the plant derived enzyme Aminogen. Research shows Aminogen increases branched-chain amino acids by 250% plasma amino acid levels over 100%, glutamine levels by 90% arginine levels by 80%, and nitrogen retention by 32%. It also promotes lean body mass, aids in muscle recovery, and may provide less gas, bloating and constipation.
Paradise Maca Up also contains a great source of heart healthy Nutrim Organic Oat Bran fiber. Maca has been used for centuries by the people of Peru for its amazing energy and stamina qualities.
Suggested Use
One level scoop daily. Tastes great mixed in water, juice, rice or almond milk.
Other Ingredients
Certified organic pea protein, certified organic brown rice protein concentrate, certified organic maca root powder, certified organic cocoa powder, nutrim organic oat bran fiber, aminogen enzyme formula, luo han guo.

Maca Pro Vegetarian Protein - Chocolate
This is an excellent protein blend. It mixes easily and has a great texture. I add some additional raw organic cocoa powder to my shake with a bit of stevia. I use this post-workout. No bloating and it really hits the spot. I've made the switch from whey protein to pea or pea/rice blends, and have lost body fat and increased lean body mass. I was skeptical, but glad I made the switch. Try it!
Doesnt taste good

The vanilla tastes much better. Good ingredients, effective energy boost.
Maca Pro, Not Again

I am not impressed with this product at all. It has a horrible taste and texture. I have tried putting it in smoothies, oatmeal, overnight oats, cookies, and bars....and none of the items have turned out well because of this product. I will not be purchasing it again.
Good, but....
Posted by MichelX on Mar 12, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I love that there's Maca in it and that it's vegan, but, the taste is so-so and for some reason, it is much less filling to me than the other vegan protein powders I've had. I would buy it again for the Maca and maybe try the Vanilla next time, maybe it's better tasting.

not my taste.
So-and-so texture and taste, but good result
Posted by Reviewer2407096 on Mar 23, 2011 | Verified Purchase
The powder is chalky and needs hard stirring with spoon. The taste is not that horrible, but not that pleasant either. It gives me a good post workout protein drink, even better than whey protein with aminogen.

Reblogged from: Wesconnect News. (Go to the original post…)
How Democracy Works Now: 12 Stories will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center, from Oct. 10-12. Jeni Morrison '07 assisted on ten of these films, and edited one.
In 2001, the filmmaking team of Michael Camerini and Shari Robertson—fresh from touring the country with Well-Founded Fear, their 2000 documentary about political asylum and the INS—decided for their next project to focus on immigration reform.
"We jumped in," they later wrote, "not really so much to follow the immigration story, but more the drama of a social movement as it meshed/aligned with a large political wave."
In the summer of 2001, reform seemed inevitable in Washington, which was the logical place to begin. And then 9/11 happened, and everything changed.

The spirit and technology of Israel come together to produce
the world's smallest bible printed onto a single 5mm x 5mm surface.
Watch Us Make Headlines All Over the World
About Us
Along with TowerJazz Semiconductor, we have spent the last several years developing the World's Smallest Bible (for both the Christian and the Jewish faiths) with cutting-edge Nano Technology cultivated in the Holy Land, merging the spirit and technology of Israel.
The Jerusalem Nano Bible can be mounted onto precious metals and jewelry such as pendants, watches, bracelets and lockets, making for a truly unique keepsake for special life moments and religious milestones.
Our Founder
Video Journalist, Ami Bentov founded Jerusalem Nano Bible in 2013. Ami started, on the front-line, capturing major news events as a war cameraman. The contrast between faith, prayers for peace, and the war and conflicts that occur motivated Ami to reach out to the Tel Aviv University to develop a product which will convey a message of comfort for all faiths. Our mission is to reignite the spiritual dialogue about faith through modern technology allowing believers to carry the word of G-d with them wherever they go.
The Guinness Book of World Records
In 2015 Jerusalem Nano Bible received a nomination by The
Guinness Book of World Records for 'the smallest bible in the world'.
Nomination Process
In order to be considered for this claim, Jerusalem Nano Bible had to prove without a doubt that the 5mm x 5mm surface in fact includes the whole New Testament.
Several experts including, Dr. Jack Pastor; Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities, Oranim Academic College of Education, Mr. Ran Marcus; Advocate & Notary of the Jerusalem Nano Bible and TowerJazz Technicians, engineers and Nano Scientists worked together to document and authenticate Jerusalem Nano Bible text.
The Nano Bible was examined under a high resolution electron microscope lens. The magnified text was projected onto a monitor, allowing all viewers to see the text clearly. News agencies including CBS, Reuters, CBN, RAI and more were also present.
A Jerusalem Nano Bible Certificate of Authenticity accompanies all purchases. The certificate guarantees the authenticity of your Jerusalem Nano Bible and documents that the utmost care was used to craft the Bible and to ensure it's preservation.
Nano Bible Text Size
Shown above is the final Bible text at different magnifications though a special Electron Microscope.
In 2015 Jerusalem Nano Bible received a nomination by The Guinness Book of World Records for 'the smallest bible in the world'.
One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10 to the ninth power of a meter. The comparative size is a marble to earth.
The smallest object visible to an Optical microscope is only 200 nm. (Not to be confused with an Electron Microscope)

Welcome to the After School Link Party!
My kids are settling into school well and have started most of their formal after school activities. So far, their teachers seem wonderful again. We have our first open house this coming week, hopefully, I will know more about what they will be learning this year. I like to support their learning at home with fun activities if possible (it's partly how we after school).
As for me, well, I think I went from pitifully lost without my kids to semi pathetically lost. I found myself wandering Target a couple of mornings, glad to run into not just one or two, but several of other moms I know. I think we were all thankful to see each other. I did start running each morning after drop off, that feels pretty good. I'm planning to tackle my front garden this week as well. My sweet husband is taking a vacation day on Friday to spend a "date day" with me. I might just enjoy this time after all!
After School Features
Ashley at Life with Moore Babies, shared a craft kids can do that imitates Chihuly sculptures, "Bottle Glass Sculpture". It's easier than you think and they look amazing. My kids were able to see some of his work at Fairchild Tropical Gardens and still remember the beauty of the sculptures. I think they like the swirl of colors.
I loved Kristina's idea at Toddler Approved for learning sight words. Over the summer, I picked up DVD of Super Friends (you know, the "Justice League" guys from way back when) to watch on long car rides. Now my kids love the old super heroes. I think my kindergartners would enjoy practicing their site words with this fun activity.
- We would love to have you link up your School-Age Post (Ages 5 and up) about your learning week after school including crafts, activities, playtime and adventures that you are doing to enrich your children's lives after their day at school, homeschool or on the weekend!
- When linking up, please take a moment to comment on at least one post linked up before yours.

Windows machines run services in the background, letting admins manage them via the Services Control panel (services.msc) or the sc command. Penetration testers sometimes want to create a Windows service that will allow them to gain and maintain remote access of a Windows machine, possibly a persistent listener offering up shell access on a given port. Unfortunately, while the Windows sc command can be used to run any .exe as a service, Windows waits 30 seconds for the given program to throw a given API call to indicate that the service has started successfully. If Windows doesn't hear back from the service, it kills the program, thinking that the service failed to start. Thus, with sc, you can make your service, but you'll only get 30 seconds of access.
Previously, various commercial and shareware programs were available that would wrap provided executables inside of code that makes the appropriate calls so that Windows would let the executable run as a service and avoid the 30-second kill rule. But, such programs were only available for a fee... until now.
InGuardians' ServifyThis program takes any Windows executable and converts it into a form suitable for use as a Windows service.

A successful home business will make money, and that will take proper thinking. Some people are good at starting a project, but not good at finishing, and a home business will take time to build. Success on the Internet is a matter of finding the right plan of action, and discovering the mental attitude needed to get that success for yourself. Having a positive attitude is imperative to your success, and there are many books, articles, and programs about self-improvement. To keep the right positive mentality, it is necessary to surround yourself with like-minded people. Quite often the discouragement will come from the people who you look to for advice. Other places that you can learn negativity are movies or TV programs. To be successful in life, you need to know what people to be associated with. It is not always possible to have the right attitudes, but you can make a choice to find people who will uplift your mentality, rather than drag you down.. Very few home businesses have immediate success, and no matter what type of product you have for sale, there are going to be good times and bad times. That's why you have to develop the attitude that you'll do whatever it takes to succeed, no matter how long it takes.
Home business lead to independence and self direction among several other advantages. This can lead to a sense of loneliness, now and then. It is important to make links with those who are working at similar pursuits. Online connections can be made with similar people through forums and discussion groups. You can make both business and social connections on many of these sites. Search for small business or entrepreneur meetings. Staying connected with others means you must work when you have a home based business. Helping each other becomes easy when you find others with complementary paths. The owners who continue to pursue additional knowledge are generally the ones who flourish. It is wonderful to look for understanding outside of your own narrow business area. Being apprised of important topics including economic trends and new technologies in addition to your business arena will help keep you aware of new choices. Information and technology are moving ahead at an ever faster pace, and if you don't stay current, you can easily fall behind. Keep informed by watching informational videos, attending seminars, and reading magazines and books.
The home business mindset is something that comes naturally to some people, while others have to go out of their way to develop it. If you make a conscious effort, you can start thinking like a successful business person. Then it becomes much easier to achieve the results you want. In this piece, we have devoted time to information that will help you create a mindset that will lead to success if you use these ideas.

Ripoff Report
BitdefenderInternet USA
Bitdefender Not only did it not protect from other viruses, Bitdefender itself corrupted my computer Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I used Bitdefender without issue for 3 years. I renewed it in March 2014. Within a short time I noticed it was not running it`s usual weekly scans. I followed the directions in the software to contact the company about the problem. They extracted the information they needed and told me I would be hearing from them.
Before they got back to me, my computer totally crashed. I took it to my local computer store where the technician discovered that Bitdefender itself was corrupt. It cost me $75.00 or 1 1/2 hours of their time to remove it.
Bitdefender denies I ever contacted them about the problem, denies Bitdefender caused the problem in my computer and refuses to reimburse me for any of the expense I incurred having to manually remove Bitdefender from my computer.
Bitdefender is happy to take your money but they do not stand behind their own product. Bad enough that Bitdefender was not protecting my computer from ANYTHING. Worse, Bitdefender itself caused my computer to crash.
To purchase Bitdefender and install it in your computer right now is like purchasing a virus so your computer will crash.
Customer support offered me a 6 month extension of Bitdefender, which of course would do me no good since it had to be removed from my computer .
They have cheerfully refunded me my $29.95 renewal fee. With their attitude about this all being the customer`s problem, I`m hoping they will go out of business soon so fewer people will have their computers crash from their corrupt software.

Walpole to Cosy Corner via The Great Tingle Tree

Map your own trip!

Hide lines
My first destination was "The Giant Tingle Tree", which was only about 3 miles away
The Giant Tingle Tree, was in a Tingle Tree forest, which are prehistoric trees, dating back to before the era when Australia was joined to Antarctica, as a continent known as Gondwana (45 million years ago). Apparently a lot of granite rocks can be found in the local area that match ones found in the Antarctic too (I guess tingle trees don't like snow...). The Giant Tingle Tree was massive. It's middle had been burnt out by a natural wildfire, but the shell of remaining wood is so strong it can still support the rest of the tree, which is still alive. The space under it is so big that in the fifties the thing to do for a good photo was to drive your car in there! Hopefully my bike was less damage-causing! I was secretly pleased to see that the tree was this big - I'd read about it in the lonely planet guide, but had been called an idiot by an Australian I mentioned it to, as they thought I was confusing it with the giant sequoias in the USA! Nobody else was about, so after a few snaps I was off again. I had to take a steep, gravelly track to get down to the main road again, which was rather hair raising. It's really easy for the heavy back end of the bike to slip around if the back wheel loses purchase
Soon enough, I was back on the proper road, heading East again. I saw signs to an attraction called the Tree Top walk and decided to have a look! even though it was another diversion. Again, leaving the main road meant a lot of climbing, though at least it was on a proper road this time. Soon enough I was there, but to my dismay discovered that it cost $15 to get in. I doubted it would top my experiences of Diamond Tree Lookout on the previous day, to of the Great Tingle Tree, of which they had a picture! So I was on my way again. I decided to continue my detour, going through the "Valley of the Giants", which had lots of trees, rocks, wildflowers and an olive farm. Something called "Tingledale Hall" had caught my eye on the map, I was imagining some sort of stately home or something, but it turned out to be a scout hut!
Soon enough, I was back on the main road and heading to Denmark. There was a multitude of vineyards, and restaurants advertising marron, a local type of crayfish. I stopped in at something called the "Toffee Factory" hoping it would be a museum, but it was just a shop selling locally made sweets and jams. I had an ice cream made with frsh fruit in front of me, which was very tasty
As continues, I passed a "meadery", an alpaca farm, a Swiss chocolate shop, more vineyards, bush food centre, a wood art gallery and a brewery. The weather was really nice - like a perfect summer's day in the UK, with bright sunshine, but not too scorching hot or humid as it has been on some of the more challenging bits of my journey. I'd really recommend this area for cycle touring!
When I got to Denmark (the town, not the country, of course...), I found a tourist information place that pointed me in the direction of the only place in town with internet. I headed over, got a great piece of chocolate cake (unfortunately they didn't have any marron to try), and started doing some research. My plan was to go to Albany, and camp somewhere near to the North of the town, so that I could get a good start the next day towards venturing into the Stirling R
Ranges to the North East of the town.
However, my research showed that the campsite I'd planned on using cost thirty dollars, and the Stirling Ranges were quite steep. I didn't want a repeat of my Mt Tamborine adventure, because I had to get to the town of Pemberton two days later. A bit more internet searching, and I found what I was looking for: free camping at a place with the inviting name of "Cosy Corner". It was on the coast about 10 or 15 miles west of Albany. It was a pretty easy decision to make: ride less far to a free campsite in a great location, or ride further to an expensive one on the outskirts of a town! After a few more emails, I was ready to go, and headed to a shop next door for some food. As I would only have another fifteen for twenty miles to ride to the campsite, I picked up a few heavier tins of food for my evening meal.
The rest of the ride continued in the same way as the earlier part of the day - lovely weather and interesting things to see. I even picked an orange from a tree at the side of the road! Towards the campsite, the traffic virtually disappeared, and it was well sign posted making things nice and easy.
The layout of the site was a rough track in a wooded area on the coast, around 60 m in diameter with a toilet block in the middle
I got the tent up and collected up my things to make my evening meal. I'd read that there was a BBQ at the site, and my plan was to use it to boil up some water in the billy can to make some pasta with cheese, tuna and green beans (I'd been carrying the tinned tuna for ages and wanted to get rid of it!). I asked some people in a caravan, who told me the BBQ was at the next beach - but they offered me the use of their stove instead, which they insisted was far better. I guess it would be nice to have company whilst waiting for the pasta to cook anyway! As I cooked my meal, we chatted about the cricket (England had just lost! hopefully they won't do that before the fourth day of the second test too...), and were also visited by a bandicoot, which I found very exciting, much to the amusement of my hosts! My meal turned out OK, I'd probably overlooked the pasta by chatting too much, and it was supposed to have milk but I didn't have any. There was a lot of it though, and the addition of the green beans I'd got at the shop in the afternoon helped a lot, so I'd give it a 7/10 over all!
I headed back to my tent in the near dark, just as the sun went behind the hill. I decided on the next bit of my route - Stirling ranges were out for tomorrow, but Mount Barker was in, as well as camping at a place called Lake Poorrarecup. I did a bit of guitar - only briefly interrupted by a 4x4 trying to drive up the hill I was on. It was a bit worrying as I thought they somehow might not see my tent in the dark and run me over inside it! It didn't get that far of course, i jumped out the tent only to see the jeep at at bottom of the hill, noisily revving away and going nowhere fast (my tent was off the main track too, so I'd have been fine anyway!).
