Guest post by Hayley Woodward
When thinking of Australia, perhaps at first you think of things like the Sydney Opera House, kangaroos or Crocodile Dundee; but, the country is so vast and rich in its culture and nature that it would be a real shame to reduce it to these symbols.
Australia has a lot to offer to almost anyone – the variety of climate, nature and wildlife can satisfy any interests and a traveler should probably try and stay for as long as possible, because there's just so much to see.
But, out of the variety of different sights and activities, these five places stand out as truly must-see for anyone who visits the sunburnt country.
- Daintree Rainforest
Daintree Rainforest is special for many reasons, the obvious is its size – being the largest single rainforest in all of Australia, it naturally has enough to offer to deserve a vacation there on its own, but even if you visit just for a few days, it can really leave an impression.
It can serve as a natural museum of sorts – with its vast variety of animal and plant life, it encompasses in itself eight stages of the earth's evolutionary history.
Being home to such iconic Australian animals like the southern cassowary or the musky rat kangaroo, the Daintree Rainforest has plenty to offer in terms of wildlife.
The amazing plant life can also leave travelers amazed, with its array of colors and forms, the Daintree Rainforest is home to some of the most exotic plants in the world.
Still, perhaps the best thing about Daintree is that you can feel and see the nature in its most natural state – the wildlife here is almost untouched, and many species reside in the area that were there like that millions of years ago.
- The Great Barrier Reef
Another pearl of Queensland is perhaps the most famous nature's landmark in Australia. Being one of the natural wonders of the world, it's truly a unique place for anyone looking to discover sea life at its best.
You can find an enormous range of exotic fish, plants and coral life thriving in the reef, which you can explore aboard one of the many great barrier reef tours or while diving.
There probably aren't many places better suited to explore the exotic marine life, but you can also take trips to see whales and dolphins or loggerhead sea turtles.
- Uluru/Ayers Rock
Located in the Northern Territory of Australia, the Uluru is another iconic natural formation that Australia has to offer.
It's a place that expresses the spirituality and rich folklore of the region – being the world's largest monolith, or a single piece of stone, in the entire planet.
It was given the name Uluru by the local Pitjantjatjara people, who reside in the area, and it has always had a great spiritual significance to them.
- The Twelve Apostles
These massive structures, located in Victoria, are one of the most fascinating examples of erosion done by the ocean.
This collection of limestone stacks, up to an astounding 45 meters in height, is an amazing example of how the world is constantly changing, which, in a long time, can amount to amazing structures forming naturally.
Although there are only eight of the original twelve stacks remaining, they are still an incredible sight, truly worth visiting.
- Kangaroo Island
If you have a desire to discover the iconic nature of Australia, you must visit Kangaroo Island – with its vast sea life full of fish, sea horses and many other creatures.
You can even find a small penguin colony, which in itself is a unique site, which should definitely be visited. If you visit during the migration season, you can stand on shore and witness migrating whales.
You don't have to visit a zoo – simply go to Kangaroo Island and discover all kinds of birds, animals, and the world-famous kangaroos and koalas.
Australia is one of the most diverse places on earth – there's just so much to discover in this vast, amazing country.
The wildlife alone is enough to keep anyone busy for a very long time. Add in the amazing natural wonders and spectacles and you've got yourself the trip of a lifetime.

It's unlikely that we'll ever see a sneaker eclipse the Dunk in terms of popularity out of Nike SB, but for what it's worth 2011 saw the humble Nike SB Janoski Mid quietly climbing the ladder with a string of hot releases. The material selection has been particularly on-point, as echoed with the latest 'Inuit' version, an Eskimo-bundled sneaker with a warm fur lining on the insides and some boot like design cues for the upper. The mid-height even gives them a bit more coverage than your average skate sneaker, extending their life as a weather ready shoe. Follow us after the jump for some extra angles and be on the lookout for this quickstrike drop at Nike SB accounts like Premier.

St. Johns Episcopal Hosts Diabetes Awareness Day
November is Diabetes Awareness month and St. John's Episcopal Hospital (SJEH) held a Diabetes Awareness Day on November 12 to inform the community about a disease that can lead to many fatal and debilitating illnesses, including heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure and amputations.
According to a health profile published by the New York City Department of Health in 2002, the Rockaways has a higher percentage of problems from diabetes – adult hospitalizations are five percent higher and deaths are 20 percent higher – than the city as a whole.
Risk factors for diabetes include obesity and physical inactivity, factors that are also most important in treating the disease.
"Ninety percent of treatment for diabetes is diet and exercise," said Dr. Sheldon Markowitz of SJEH. "Medicines are 10 percent."
A team that includes an ophthalmologist and a podiatrist help diabetics keep a tight control on their health.
Diabetic eye disease can include cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
"Blood vessels leak. If the center of the retina is affected by diabetes, vision is distorted or blurry and then permanent damage or vision [can be] lost," said Dr. Steven Sherman, SJEH's Director of Resident Training in Ophthalmology, about diabetic retinopathy.
Since the symptoms for diabetic retinopathy may not occur until later in the eye disease, diabetics should make yearly eye exams part of their health routine. Diabetics must inspect their feet daily and go to a see a podiatrist one to two times a year to check for any problems that develop.
"A little sore can become a big problem," said podiatrist Dr. Lloyd Bardfeld. "It is easier to prevent problems than to treat them."
Breaks in skin that become ulcers, fungal toenails, ingrown toenails and calluses can go from something minor to infections if a diabetic does not treat the problem correctly.
The new Center For Wound Healing at St. John's has a hyperbaric chamber that uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help heal wounds that will not heal.
Stopping by to show support for the event was Congressman Gregory Meeks and Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer.
"With technology today, people are living longer [with] better quality of lives, but not all the information is getting to all the people," said Meeks. "Community hospitals [like St. John's] are reaching out and making a difference in the community."
Pheffer called the Diabetes Awareness Day an opportunity for people to find out what services are available to them.
Free blood pressure and glucose testing was available, and visitors were given valuable information about diabetes.
Similar events were held at Peninsula Hospital Center and the Addabbo Family Health Center. Sponsoring the Diabetes Awareness Day at the facilities were the Visiting Nurse Service of New York and the American Diabetes Association.
SJEH holds a diabetes education program on the fourth Monday of each month from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Peninsula's diabetes support group meets the second Monday of every month from 10 to 11 a.m.
During the month of November, Addabbo will have diabetic education workshops on Tuesdays (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.) and Thursdays (1 p.m. to 2 p.m.).

Risky Workplace
You think your workplace is tough? Just compare it to these jobs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor recently released data for the number of injuries and illnesses that occurred on the job for local government employees in 2008. Teachers, fire fighters, nurses and many other professions make the list. While this doesn't include private sector positions, these statistics are a good indication of which jobs are the most dangerous in this country. We should also make clear up front that the rankings on this list are based on the total number of incidents logged, rather than the percentage of workers who got hurt. So unfortunately one uber clutz could inflate the numbers a bit, but it's the breakdown of the risks facing each profession that paint a really fascinating picture. Here are the top 20 most dangerous professions in local government based on the total number of reported injuries and illnesses that resulted in days off from work. Photo Credit: phil_g

Spokane ranks 4th in auto thefts
SPOKANE, Wash. - Lock you car doors because for the second year in a row, Spokane ranks fourth in the nation for auto theft.
This week, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) released the latest statistics on auto thefts across the country.
In Washington, the 1992 Honda Accord was the most stolen car in 2011, followed by the 1995 Honda Civic.Spokane ranks 4th in auto thefts
Spokane resident Sarah Flory has owned a 1995 Civic for the past ten years. She said she is not surprised by the latest statistics.
"My friend has a 1995 Honda Civic and his car was stolen in Seattle out of his apartment complex," said Sarah.
Flory said fortunately her car has never been broken into or stolen. She just hopes thieves don't get any ideas.
According to the NICB, 2,614 cars were stolen in Spokane in 2011, down from 2,763 stolen in 2010.
The Spokane Police Department said older car models are often targeted by thieves because they are easy to break into, parts are in demand, and they are reliable.
Yakima is ranked fifth in the nation for auto theft moving up five spots from 2010.

text: Folks in Lincoln can usually expect their weekly newspaper every thursday morning like clock work. This week, it took some help from another paper to make that happen, because last week, fire gutted the building that houses the Lincoln News, the weekly newspaper in Lincoln. Reginald Hustus is the Print Manager there and he says the fire was devastating. "From the time that I heard there was a fire and the time I got there, there was just humongous flames coming out of the whole building," says Hustus, "so any hope of salvaging anything was just lost."The biggest thing lost in the blaze was the printing press. Terry Carlisle, the Genral Manager at The Ellsworth American newspaper knows that printing presses are invaluable. "Not too many newspapers own their own press," she says," "the press is an extraordinarily complicated and expensive piece of machinery and the thought of losing your press, that's just heartbreaking."The folks at the Ellsworth American wasted little time. They held a meeting and decided to offer the Lincoln News two weeks of free printing to help get them back on their feet. "It was a tragedy that all of us felt acutely," says Carlisle, "and we all stayed in contact with one another to see what we could do to help and we we're all happy to help."The hard worling people at the Lincoln News are certainly appreciative. Kevin Tenggren is the Editor and Publisher of the Lincoln News and he says he's extremely grateful for the generosity. "It means a lot to us," he says, "We've put a lot of work into it. Non-stop working from last Thursday to this Thursday. we worked all weekend, we worked countless hours, a lot of thanks to my staff, they've done a great job."Reggie Hustus says they haven't missed a printing in the fifteen years he's been with the paper and it took a team effort to keep that streak alive. "Just thank everyone who was involved in making this happen and now I have a truck full of papers and now we're gonna go give them to the folks of Lincoln."

Drogba scored off the bench and had a shot that led to a goal two minutes later in his debut Friday. He'll be good enough to impress in Turkey and against a miserable team like Schalke.
miserable team like Schalke.
While Schalke have been unimpressive in the Bundesliga, their Champions League form has been far more impressive.
Yea I was watching. Aside from that goal (which was pretty lucky IMO) he looked very average. Not saying he can't reproduce magical moments like that one (which he obviously still can), but he isn't the same player over a 90 minute stretch in the CL. But like Tweezy said, Schalke are miserable.
Wait. Are you talking about Drogba? Because his last goal in this cup was a penalty kick to win it. Secondly, Tweezy is NOT saying Schalke is miserable but rather defending their place in their league.
I'm talking about Drogba in his debut performance for Galatasaray where he scored a header. If you've seen the goal, you will know that it was one of those 1 in 100 type things. And yes, Tweezy is saying Schalke is miserable.

Press Review Excerpt: Led Zeppelin Flies High, Heavy, Loud
So now, the history-making Led Zeppelin concert series has thundered through Dallas-Fort Worth, breaking gate records here as has been the case of previous stops of the English group's current and chaotic U.S. tour, which surely will bring more attendance marks before the March 27 conclusion in Los Angeles.
At three straight sold-out performances in Fort Worth (Monday night) and in Dallas (Tuesday and Wednesday nights) the world renowned 4-man rock band attracted 34,000 fans, which according to show promoters Concerts West, is an all-time gate record for an indoor rock show in this area.
But still, even as some of that history continues to ring in the ears, the critic's task remains the same, despite the record shattering crowds, or the extended applause for contrived encores of even the overwhelming satisfaction among throngs of loyal Zeppelin fans.
ANYONE assuming such apparent signs of success would sway the critic need only refer to an interview with Zeppelin's famed guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant published in the March 13 issue of Rolling Stone.
The text points out that although the group five albums have each sold in excess of one million units and their current U.S. tour (the first in 18 months) is expected to be the largest grossing undertaking in rock history, "the band has been continually kicked, shoved, pummeled and kneed in the groin by critics of all stripes."
To be sure, audience excitement and anticipation was greater than usual just before the group's concert debut in Dallas on Tuesday night.
Zeppelin opened strong and immediately established the well-expected pattern of Page sharing the fronting role with Plant's shrill, penetrating vocals. On "Lady," (Over the Hills and Far Away) Plant joined Page's non-stop guitar runs in a crisp duo that was well executed, although the group's musical emphasis often seems to lack a relation to the legitimate, impulsive expression of feeling.
Page's style appears uncontrolled, very aggressive and almost always at a high level of unvarying intensity. His guitar and Plant's scorching vocal tones embody the Zeppelin sound. When back-grounded by John Paul Jones' bottom- heavy bass and drummer John (Bonzo) Bonham's booming licks, that group sound is thunderous, jagged, over bearing.
And, of course, the crowd loved it. With a continually superb light snow and stage presentation, Zeppelin raged hours through the evening only rarely straying from the high-stress attack, whether on older tunes ("Black Dog," "No Quarter," "Dazed and Confused") or on cuts from their latest album.
"Physical Graffiti," Kashmir," "In My Dying." Finally, their finest work of all, "Stairway To Heaven," brought out the very best from Zeppelin and proved to some extent the group can exert musical expression with subtle finesse, rather than the usual total assault approach.

I am the eldest of 3 who lost our mother when we all were under the age of 6. Genealogy became very important to me when my son was born in 1986. I felt the need to keep my mother's memory alive not only for her grandson but her children who really never got to know her.
Mommy, I am doing all of this for you. Love you!

The Queenstown Harbor house plan is a beautiful design. This wonderfully balanced exterior is achieved with the double columns supporting a fourteen-foot classic entry. Arch-top windows add a custom look and are carried throughout the exterior theme. The graceful rooflines of the Queenstown Harbor plan give the home a grand presence. The classical, balanced stucco exterior matched with a wonderful flowing floor plan that defines its spaces perfectly make this home great for any family.
Once inside the Queenstown Harbor plan, the family wing hosts the kitchen, nook and family room with plenty of patio access. The wet bar offers room for a cold drink while entertaining. Around the corner, the kitchen has ample counter space with the wrap around island overlooking the breakfast nook. There is plenty of cabinet space with ample pantry space.
Two guest suites on the right wing of the plan share a Jack and Jill bath, while one of the bedrooms opens up to a private patio. The owners' wing of the Queenstown Harbor plan includes a library and convenient powder bath. The master suite opens out back through French doors to the verandah. Large his and hers walk in closets provide plenty of extra room for all those shoes and handbags. The master bath has a large Whirlpool soaking tub and walk in shower with windows overlooking a privacy garden. Separate vanities provide privacy for each owner.

We don't know what's going to happen 15 minutes from now, so it seems like an exercise in science fiction to predict what the world will look like in a century. That hasn't stopped 10 economists who were invited to contribute essays to a new book called In 100 Years: Leading Economists Predict the Future, edited by Ignacio Palacios-Huerta of the London School of Economics. As one of the 10 essayists, Avinash Dixit, noted, "I will not be around to be ridiculed when my predictions go spectacularly wrong."
Where a book like In 100 Years is most useful is in the one arena for which a century-ahead forecast is valuable, even necessary. That's climate change. Companies, nations, and reality TV stars will rise and fall over the coming decades, but one thing is certain: Unless greenhouse gas emissions suddenly decline, the world will be considerably hotter in 2114. (Actually 2113, since the essays were completed last year.) In a collection that ranges all over the world, global warming is the one theme that all 10 essayists grapple with.
For the pessimists in the group, climate change is the coup de grâce. For the optimists, it's the caveat. In the final essay in the book, it's the sole subject. The 10th author dwells on a solution that's cheap and easy—maybe, he fears, too cheap and easy. Here, then, is a quick review of who the economists are and what they say about an issue that is likely to preoccupy scientists, policymakers, and the public for the coming century.
Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
In the book's longest and most chart-filled essay, Acemoglu speculates that global warming can be solved by a motivated citizenry. He predicts that the "rights revolution" of the past several decades will continue, empowering ordinary people to demand more of their leaders. He acknowledges, "Our track record so far does not inspire confidence." But he writes, "the rights revolution, if it does indeed continue to spread, will also tend to make people care more about the welfare of those who will suffer because of our unwillingness to take action against climate change."
Angus Deaton, Princeton University
Deaton starts by writing that "unregulated climate change is a new and enormous danger" and concludes on a pessimistic note: "Perhaps there will have to be great suffering and destruction before people come together to make changes."
Avinash Dixit, Princeton University
Dixit's is the most playful essay in the book, with a teasing line about how the International Monetary Fund, operating from "shiny new headquarters in Singapore," will make loans to over-indebted and overspending Americans who "insist on their constitutional right to enjoy all the latest new imported personal helicopters." He says reaching international agreement on climate change "will remain problematic," but notes "some side benefits" from warming, including the opening of shipping channels through the Arctic Ocean.
Edward Glaeser, Harvard University
In keeping with his faith in free markets, Glaeser judges global warming to be a dangerous but solvable problem. Saying that climate change would "make extreme events more likely and increase sea levels generally," he continues: "… while such disasters may cause great harm, historically these events have been localized and limited in their long-run impact." He adds later that "the vast size of the world and its geographic diversity limit the potential impact of long-term climate change," noting that "vast amounts of land in Canada and Siberia" could be farmed more intensively if temperatures were higher.
Andreu Mas-Colell, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona
The most optimistic essay in the volume predicts that a century from now "we will have managed, due to the combination of natural growth and deliberate action, to completely eliminate poverty in the world." Not only that, but "work will be more interesting," Mas-Colell writes. He says that recent research has shown "the enormous adaptability of human beings."Speaking of a wide variety of potential changes, Mas-Colell predicts that if things change gradually "we will adapt to the new situation in a natural and almost imperceptible manner." Looking 200 years ahead, not just 100 (the chutzpah!), he writes that future troubles are more likely to be biological or social in origin (wars and conflicts) than from environmental, energy, or economic causes.
John Roemer, Yale University
The angriest essay portrays global warming as a political problem and puts the blame in the U.S. on the Republican Party, accusing it of an "opportunistic and ignorant approach to the problem." Roemer says that in order to meet the twin goals of curbing global warming and reducing international wealth disparities, the rich nations will have to accept an increase in their incomes of only about 1 percent a year over the coming century.
Alvin Roth, Stanford University
Roth, who won a Nobel Prize for his work on market design, gives the least attention to global warming of any essayist. Climate change appears obliquely in parentheses in an otherwise optimistic sentence, to wit: "To set the stage, I think the biggest trend of future history (if it is not disrupted by environmental catastrophe, or descent into widespread terrorism, or warfare with weapons of mass destruction) is that the world economy will continue to grow and become more connected."
Robert Shiller, Yale University
Shiller, also a Nobelist, looks at global warming through the lens of insurance against risks, one of his pet topics. Citing others' work, he says that what society needs is long-term insurance that "protects homeowners against rising insurance premia because of long-term changes in environmental risks." In other words, insurance on the cost of insurance. He predicts the product will become available despite the current "narrow-mindedness of regulators."
Robert Solow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Solow, the third Nobel Prize winner in a row in this star-studded book, is a veteran essayist with nearly 20 bylines in the New York Review of Books. But he doesn't use poetic license to make extravagant predictions. He writes, "Show me an economist with a strong opinion about these things, and I will show you that oxymoron: a daredevil economist." On that note, he's a bit vague and terse on global warming. Speaking more generally of the environment, he writes, "No one can know with any precision how many people can be supported in the world at a standard of living anything like that of the currently advanced countries."
Martin Weitzman, Harvard University
There's a reason this article focuses on the authors' views about global warming, and Weitzman states it clearly in the first sentence of the concluding essay: "If there is one genuinely natural bridge spanning the chasm between now and a century from now, I think it is climate change." Weitzman writes that some time in the coming century "the temptation may become very great for some medium-developed nation feeling itself under climate change siege to unilaterally geoengineer itself (and the planet) out of high temperatures by seeding the stratosphere with sunshine-reflecting particles because it is so extraordinarily cheap." As Weitzman writes, putting up a sun screen in the sky wouldn't solve all of the problems caused by greenhouse gases—such as ocean acidification, which kills coral reefs—and it could have dangerous side effects. But if the world doesn't do the right thing and curb emissions, the geoengineering quick fix will become "extremely tempting for any country feeling especially hard pressed by what it perceives as an intolerable threat to its own well-being." For that reason alone, the option deserves serious study, Weitzman says: "Is it not prudent to simultaneously lobby for the best and prepare for the worst?"

We just returned home from trip #2 of 3 a few days ago and I have a few posts to add – but I couldn't resist sharing this April Fool's day event first. This afternoon we did our post office run early to catch the 11th annual April Fool's Day Pie Jousting at Sully's Snowgoose – a saloon a few blocks from our house. We arrived in time to grab a beer and watch the costume-clad contestants sign up for their bracket. There were 30 jousters and nearly 100 revelers – causing a rowdy spectacle at the corner of 62nd and 'Pie-Eyed Lane' (Phinney Ave.). Only in Seattle! (Check out the rest of my pie-jousting pictures here.)
The post bicycle pie jousting on Phinney Ridge appeared first on Pleats and tweets.

The 24-year-old admits he was flattered by the interest from the Premier League side but insists he never spoke with the Red Devils and is happy to stay at Athletic Bilbao.
Herrera, who admits he was flattered by United's interest, also claims that three lawyers - later reported to be 'imposters' - who were seen entering the offices of the Spanish football league [LFP] were not acting on his behalf.
"I reached no agreement with United. I am proud they made an offer for me, and that Athletic wanted me [to stay]. I do not feel used by United, they made a formal offer. Athletic did not want to negotiate, I value that," Herrera told reporters. "I feel very flattered to see that one of the biggest clubs in the world like United made an offer for me.
"The lawyers who were at the LFP offices did not represent me. I do not know who they were. I don't discuss hypotheticals. I am just telling you how things were. At no moment did I speak with United. They had to pay the 36 million euro clause and then seduce me more than Athletic. I never saw myself elsewhere."

On June 25, 2009 Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman presented a roadmap for continued growth in Indiana agriculture at Kelsay Dairy, a six generation dairy farm in rural Johnson County. The roadmap is an update to the Indiana State Department of Agriculture's strategic plan and will guide the Department's focus over the next four years.
Indiana agriculture will be a global leader in innovation and commercialization for food, fuel and fiber production.
ISDA will support growth in Indiana agriculture by serving as an advocate at the local, state and federal level; defining and nurturing economic opportunity in the food, fuel and fiber sectors; and enhancing the stewardship of natural resources on agricultural land.
Strategies & Initiatives
ISDA resources are devoted to nine initiatives under three strategies:
Advocacy (Outreach, Regulatory Coordination and Policy Development Initiatives): Serve as an advocate for Indiana agriculture at the local, state and federal level.
Environmental Stewardship: Enhance the stewardship of natural resources on agricultural land in a manner that creates value-added opportunity for producers and assists agriculture stakeholders with current and future regulatory challenges.
Economic Opportunity (Hardwoods, Entrepreneurship, Livestock, International Trade and Bioenergy Initiatives): Define and nurture economic opportunity, including technology development, in the food, fuel and fiber sectors.

The father of a London schoolboy who vanished 26 years ago today told how his family has never dared move house in case his son one day returns.
Lee Boxell was 15 when he went missing in Sutton High Street in 1988 amid fears he may have been targeted by a paedophile gang.
Today detectives announced a £20,000 reward in return for information about his disappearance, just as he would have turned 41 years old.
His father Peter Boxell, 67, said he and his wife Christine, 71, and his daughter Lindsey, 38 and a mother-of-two, have been "living in limbo" for the past quarter-century.
He told the Standard: "We can't move on. We haven't moved house in case he comes home. We never looked for another house even though we should have done years ago. We kept his room as it was for 20 years but several years ago we took it all down and all his stuff is stored in the wardrobe.
"I think this is our last chance. Time is running out for us. We just want to find out what happened to Lee and find his body if he has been murdered. We still don't know. There's still the possibility that he is alive although that is very unlikely after 26 years. We want to bring this to an end so we can at least begin to grieve."
He added: "He was a lovely normal boy, never any arguments, never any trouble. He would always ring home when he was away at football matches. When he disapeared it was totally unexpected. There was no reason for him to leave home."
Mr Boxell has today also released a recording of a song called Where Is Lee? that he sang at the Missing People Carol Service, hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald, in December.
The police investigation has centred around the paedophile activity in the Cheam area at the time that Lee disappeared.
In 2012 murder squad detectives spent a year excavating the churchyard at St Dunstan's church in nearby Cheam in what was the Met Police's longest ever forensic archeological dig.
Since renewing public appeals, including an appearance on Crimewatch last year, police have received an allegation of sexual abuse that had never been reported before.
Detectives believe he had met friends at a church outbuilding known as the 'shed' and had either been a victim of a sexual assault that resulted in death or he had intervened to help someone else and was then assaulted.
Detective Inspector John McQuade said: "The launch of a £20,000 reward today coincides with what would have been Lee's 41st birthday on Sunday February 16.
"We have been trying to solve the mystery of Lee's disappearance for 26 years now and have carried out extensive enquiries and appeals over the years.
"We hope the offer of this reward may encourage people who have not previously felt able to come forward to now do so. Someone knows what happened to Lee and where his body is buried.
"We are still appealing for any victim of sexual assault around that time, linked to the area or the shed, to please contact us in confidence. They could hold information vital to our investigation that would help us piece together Lee's last movements."
Officers also want to speak to anyone who attended the 'shed' in or around 1988 and said a number of initials had been carved into the church wall.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sutton incident room on 0208 721 4005 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.Reuse content

What beautiful pies you have made for Thanksgiving.
I get mine from the store because I have pie making
Hubby even hired a pie expert to come to my kitchen and show
me and my niece how to make pies.
It was so hot in the kitchen that day in late October that her
pies were hard to roll out.
Maybe someday I will just get up the courage to try and make a
pie crust and keep at it until I get one pie made.
Designs By Pinky says
Oh, your pies look SO pretty and delicious too! I love pumpkin pie, hoping we have some tomorrow:) Your guests are lucky people, very BLESSED to have YOU as their hostess (with the mostest)!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXO
Designs By Pinky says
Why do you freeze the pie crust before using it???
Yvonne @ StoneGable says
So that the butter will create steam, making it flaky. AND so the crust won't slump or shrink.
Happy Thanksgiving!
janice15 says
They look just wonderful, I can't wait to get started. . . I think I'm going to make a pumpkin pie and an Apple Galette I got a whole basket of free green apples…..Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving…with love Janice

Date of Stay: August, 2008
Big clean RV park. Was told when booking we would have a pull thru, we ended up with a very small tight back-in. This place is advertised to have level concrete pads. We have a very uneven asphalt pad. Supposed to have cable, our site does not have a hook-up for cable. Free Wi-Fi for those that sit in a particular direction with the wind blowing the right direction. Will not stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
Stay Clear! We arrived in with our 5th wheel. The manager was nice. The campground was very, very run down. There was only 1 other traveler there, everybody else lived there. We had major problems trying to back in a 5th wheel and getting level on a very small site. This place was extremely scary for 3 grown adults. A toothless bum went walking through the campground. We drove to get dinner and found a very nice campground behind the Graceland Heartbreak Hotel. We quickly went back to the campground, grabbed the 5th wheel and stayed at the Graceland Heartbreak RV Park and really enjoyed our stay there.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This campground was very nice! Lots of shade, very clean, and the staff was very nice. Every evening we had a huge family of ducks come visit from the stream. Everybody seemed to get a kick out these ducks. Wifi was good but was down 1 night. The site was not level, so bring lots of wood to balance out your RV. Next time we are in Pigeon Forge, we will definitely come back and stay here!
Date of Stay: July, 2008
Awesome Park. The manager was very helpful. The campground was very clean and well kept. Quiet. The pool was clean. Children liked the play lot. This was a wonderful place to stay. Walking distance to Graceland. This place was hard to find but worth it.

Big Boy welcomed Nas to his hood this morning. Esco spoke on his album, Kelis, his longevity and recited his very first rap that he wrote at age 8. Damn, most can't even remember ones they wrote last month.
While out West, Rick Ross strolled through Big Boy's Neighborhood on Power 106. He discussed his album title, Maybach Music signature drop and then performed "I'm On One" and "John (If I Die Today)". God Forgives, I Don't in stores today.
"I'm never going to hell. Call me Zack Morris, I'm saving you by the bell." Cue the "Otis" scream. During Justin Beiber's visit to Big Boy's Neighborhood, he goes into Shawty Mane mode over The Throne's track. Believe it or not, this kid makes it eaaasier.

9 Essential Ingredients of Italian Cuisine (Page 3)
There's nothing quite like a ripe tomato, whether served on a bed of fresh greens or made into an Italian red sauce to dress a bowl of hearty pasta. Tomatoes are packed with vitamin C and lycopene, a heart-protective antioxidant that may also help prevent some cancers (particularly prostate). Vitamin A, potassium and folate are also among the tomato's nutritional benefits. Although cooked tomatoes have less vitamin C, their lycopene is more available and antioxidant activity is undiminished.
To boost the tomatoes in your diet, add fresh tomatoes to your salads, soups or pasta dishes, or learn how to make homemade tomato sauce. Or slice a juicy tomato and enjoy the simple, fresh flavor of tomatoes with a piece of whole-grain toast and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

Lisa Pease: The Other Kennedy ConspiracyRoundup: Talking About History
Lisa Pease is an expert on the assassinations of the '60s in general and the Robert Kennedy assassination in particular. Several of her articles were published in "The Assassinations" (Los Angeles: Feral House, 2003), a book she also co-edited.
Each November, the media recalls the assassination of President Kennedy and its attendant controversies. Rarely, however, is a second Kennedy anniversary acknowledged. On Nov. 20, 2011, Robert Kennedy — JFK's brother and devoted political partner — would have turned 86 years old had he not also been assassinated. Although the mainstream media has been all but silent on this case, the facts scream out for a deeper investigation.
The story of Robert Kennedy's assassination seems deceptively simple. After winning the California Democratic presidential primary on June 4, 1968, Sen. Robert Kennedy traversed a pantry at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. A young Palestinian Christian named Sirhan Sirhan pulled a gun and fired. Kennedy died roughly 25 hours later. Five others were wounded. Sirhan was tried and convicted. End of story, right?
Not so fast. A crime is like a jigsaw puzzle. You can't solve the puzzle by forcing a piece where it doesn't belong. The theory that Sirhan killed Kennedy is an ill-fitting piece not supported by the physical evidence. Here are some facts that are not in dispute....

A Princess of Mars HTML version
can one claim undisputed right to, nor may he accumulate more of these than are required
for his actual needs. The surplus he holds merely as custodian, and it is passed on to the
younger members of the community as necessity demands.
The women and children of a man's retinue may be likened to a military unit for which he
is responsible in various ways, as in matters of instruction, discipline, sustenance, and the
exigencies of their continual roamings and their unending strife with other communities
and with the red Martians. His women are in no sense wives. The green Martians use no
word corresponding in meaning with this earthly word. Their mating is a matter of
community interest solely, and is directed without reference to natural selection. The
council of chieftains of each community control the matter as surely as the owner of a
Kentucky racing stud directs the scientific breeding of his stock for the improvement of
the whole.
In theory it may sound well, as is often the case with theories, but the results of ages of
this unnatural practice, coupled with the community interest in the offspring being held
paramount to that of the mother, is shown in the cold, cruel creatures, and their gloomy,
loveless, mirthless existence.
It is true that the green Martians are absolutely virtuous, both men and women, with the
exception of such degenerates as Tal Hajus; but better far a finer balance of human
characteristics even at the expense of a slight and occasional loss of chastity.
Finding that I must assume responsibility for these creatures, whether I would or not, I
made the best of it and directed them to find quarters on the upper floors, leaving the
third floor to me. One of the girls I charged with the duties of my simple cuisine, and
directed the others to take up the various activities which had formerly constituted their
vocations. Thereafter I saw little of them, nor did I care to.

From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture.
Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world.
This volume tracks the first 24 years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records ("That's All Right," "Mystery Train"), and the early RCA hits ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel"). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period until, in 1958, he was drafted into the Army and his mother died shortly thereafter. The audiobook closes on that somber and poignant note.
Last Train to Memphis takes us deep inside Elvis' life, exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable, almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music. Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of those closest to him, the audiobook offers an emotional, complex portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring true.
Peter Guralnick has given us a previously unseen world, a rich panoply of people and events that illuminate an achievement, a place, and a time as never revealed before. Written with grace, humor, and affection, Last Train to Memphis has been hailed as the definitive biography of Elvis Presley. It is the first to set aside the myths and focus on Elvis' humanity in a way that has yet to be duplicated.
©2012 Peter Guralnick (P)2012 Hachette Audio
"The first half of Guralnick's projected two-volume biography is eminently engrossing. Taking pains to keep the story fresh and flowing and refraining from foreshadowing and editorializing, Guralnick lets the facts speak for themselves. If you really want only one Elvis biography, let this sensitive book be it." (Booklist)
"A serious, musically literate, and historically attuned biography. An American epic that belongs on every bookshelf." (Kirkus Reviews)
"I'm an Elvis fan now"
I love biographies and, in recent years, have really enjoyed biographies from the music industry. Elvis was a little before my time so his music wasn't "my" music. I appreciated the impact that he had on rock and roll but I didn't really appreciate his music.
Much of what I knew about his was from the later part of his career. I knew nothing about his early years in the business. Mr. Guralnick did a great job of telling that story. The book was interesting from the first word to the last. It also prompted me to YouTube where I was able to see some of his work from his early years.
Now I understand what it was all about and I have a new appreciation for the man and his work.
"Absolutely outstanding."
This book is heavy on the details - reading the researched minutia might have been a little bit overwhelming. The performance of the reader, combined with an incredible biography, made me listen to this book non-stop. It was incredible.
All of it was wonderful, but the reader clearly understood where to put the emphasis and inflection. He was wonderful. I loved hearing him pretend to cheer like a teenage girl! The ending was heartbreaking, and he used the power of his dramatic pause very effectively.
His portrayal of Elvis was wonderful - capturing the slight drawl and accent without going overboard was wonderful.
As previously stated, when Elvis' mother passed away. It was heartbreaking. I was weeding in the garden and started to cry. Ha!
"I now have a better understanding of Elvis now!"
Very informative and it held my attention for 22 hours.
Of coarse, Elvis. I was never crazy about him in general growing up, but I now have a new opinion of him as a very geniune person.
He made you believe he was actually there with the characters.
What you never knew about Elvis, the person.
"Amazing book"
If you consider yourself an Elvis fan, this is a must. Great book with so many details of his life I didn't know. I could listen to the narrators voice all day. 10/10
"awesome book about Elvis I highly recommend it"
awesome book we miss and love you Elvis youll always be the king my friend

"Comprehensive, Well-Written, Yet Elvis Himself Elusive"
Guralnick gives us a thorough accounting of Elvis' life up to his induction into the Army and basic training, death of his beloved mother, and his last press conference before heading to Germany, where he was stationed. Wonderfully written and painstakingly thorough. The author spoke with family, friends, girlfriends, acquaintances, fellow soldiers, actors, just about anyone who spent time with his subject. He knits together all of these varying accounts into a seamless story. Despite his fastidiousness I still don't feel like I know Elvis. Part of the problem is people's tendency to read more into their encounters with him. But I suspect the larger part is that he is just one of those elusive people that can't ever be truly known. He liked to please people and to feel he was liked, and he became who he had to in order to accomplish this. The narrator spoke clearly if a bit slowly. I eventually played it at 1.25x speed. Highly recommended if you are an Elvis fan or a music fan in general.
"Last Train to Memphis"
Loved listening to this book on my drive to Graceland. It really got me in the Elvis mode. It also gave me a heads up on Elvis and his family and professional life so I understood all the stuff you take in at Graceland.
"Wow this is a must read for every Elvis or music fan."
I love books like this, it is written as if you're along for the ride. Explicit detail, so much I didn't know and didn't want the story to end. On to book two!!! I highly recommend this book you won't be up upset your tried it.
"great bio of the king of rock n roll"
well put together and a great listen...highly recomended, the detail is staggering and it pays full attention to its subject..loved it.
"Wow! Never thought it would be this good"
I was a Irish kid in Germany in 1958 (my Dad worked in the AFEX system as an accountant) when Elvis came over as an army draftee. A family friend got his autograph for me which I lost soon after (damn & double-damn!)and this is the point where this book - the first of a two-part biography - closes. It takes us from Elvis' birth in Tupelo to his family's move to Memphis, his geeky high school days, the $12 guitar his father bought for him, and his burning desire to cut a record. This brought him to Sam Phillips and Sun Records. This early recording took off thanks to radio play throughout the South and a series of live gigs followed getting ever bigger and bigger. Soon things became so big they nearly got out of control. From some peculiar mixture of gospel, hillbilly, and Negro blues Elvis had hit on a new sound that caught the imagination of teenage America. By the age of 21 (1956) he was pulling in huge audiences and the music moguls were taking an interest. The predatory ex-Carnie barker "Colonel" Tom Parker moved in to guide this boy along and in his manipulatory and conniving ways made Elvis a national phenomenon.
What makes this story so fascinating is the way it is told. The author, an early fan of the music, spent 11 years tracking down all the surviving friends and associates of Elvis and tells the story as if he were looking through a keyhole, recording conversations and first impressions and opinions from such a wide number of people that you begin to feel you are there yourself. The way this book was put together is extremely impressive: by no means is it your "standard" biography. Whether you like the music or not (I did even then, I still do!) you cannot help but get caught up in the story. After such a meteoric rise you just know that a fall is bound to come: hubris, as we know from the wise old Greeks, is followed by nemesis.
A second volume of the biography entitled "Careless Love" follows ....
"elvis presley"
i don't want this on my tablets ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
"In Depth and well researched"
I really enjoyed this audio book and literally couldn't stop listening to it. So much information - I think I may re listen and read the book, which I have also, together.
it is the first time I have actually listened to and finished an audio book.
Kevin Sitwells narration was excellent.
"The best audiobook that I have ever listen to?"
It is hard to imagine a better audiobook about contemporary music than this. This book covers a subject that many will feel familiar with. However throughout this book there is a feeling of authenticity and accuracy that it is hard to imagine being beaten in regard to this subject.
It really takes you into a time and place and makes it all real to you. It does not put forward detailed theories and interpretations but lets you decide how you use the material.
It somehow makes you feel that you are there but makes you forget the incredible impact that this period was ultimately to have on popular music and western culture overall subsequently.
I would also like to say that the reading is particularly good. The story is told in quite a leisurely way that again, seems to fit the material.
A great book on a very important subject. And audiobook that was a real pleasure to listen to.
Now for volume two................
"Wow..... Unbelievable insight in the like of elvis"
This book was so much better than I expected. I thought I know the life and times of the early years of rock n roll, I was mistaken.
This book paints a brilliant picture of the legend and make you look at him as a normal human being.
This is a great book for fans and non fans or people (like myself) who just have an interest in music and history..........
The book really puts you there and explains the story so well.
"How did they make this story so dull?"
This is the ultimate rock and roll success story. How did they make it quite so dreary, so dull and so depressive?
Somehow the narrator makes this whole experience ridden with a sense of poverty and failure and exploitation. There is just no joy in the telling - there is no celebration, and no victory.
The narrative tends to adopt a very detached perspective - a more than slightly cynical voice - and never really achieves a sense of being in the time. It is all painted with a colour that is entirely from today - and looking back it was all so inevitable - but the searing, revolutionary quality of Elvis' arrival and rocketing velocity is missing.
If you substituted what Elvis had with some sort of a disease - that is how this comes across. It is like Elvis had some terrible, but irresistible disease, a date with his own inevitable doom - that somehow ruined this poor poor, dirt poor, southern boy, and exploited him along the way.
I do not recommend this.
"Slow starting"
I found this book hard to get into but about a third of the way I got quite immersed. Towards the end I was keen to keep listening as it was getting more interesting then. I learned more about Elvis than ever before and at times it made me wonder how the author got all the information although the book was many years in the making.
Elvis of course.
At times he seemed a bit lifeless and just running off a list of subjects but was not too bad overall.
Not with this book

Looking for the lightest multi-tool that includes lock-blade, saw, pliers (any kind) and scissors.
Any recs?

Check out the Leatherman Squirt PS4 Multitool for $29.95. It weighs just 1.9 ounces and offers pliers, scissors, and a knife.
If you're carrying a standalone knife anyway, you might want to consider the Leatherman Style PS Multi Tool ($19.95) which has pliers, scissors, and tweezers (but NO knife) and it weighs 1.6 ounces. Don't hold me to it, but it appears that this tool MIGHT be TSA-compliant…
Campmor has both…Aug 27, 2012 at 7:13 am #1906385

@requiemLocale: Northern California
I picked up the Style PS (the one with no blade) just for travel and can confirm that it will make it through airports. They will take it out and spend time trying to find out where the blade is, so some time and patience is warranted.
If you need a saw, what about using a hacksaw blade with small rings in the end? (I.e. carry string, blade, and wrap string around twigs and through rings for handles.) The smaller multi-tools seem unlike to carry a saw blade.Aug 27, 2012 at 7:24 am #1906392
Thanks Kevin
To be honest I'm gravitating towards spending a few extra grams on the LM Blast. Really keen on a lockblade and saw, plus it's got a bit of length for the weight, good grip, etc. Like having everything consolidated when I can too.Aug 27, 2012 at 7:30 am #1906393
Was pretty sure some resourceful chap'd come through with a solution to all the (backpacking related) superfluousness functions of the larger saw-featured multi-tools!
No doubt I'll get there one day. But maybe I'm just too new to UL, or too drawn to having my tools consolidated, but the blast is still looking good for now.Aug 27, 2012 at 10:20 am #1906439
Kevin BabioneBPL Member
@kbabioneLocale: Pennsylvania
From what I can find online the LM Blast is at least five ounces heavier than either of the items I mentioned. I guess I'm curious about a couple of things relating to the locking blade and the saw.
What have you used your knife for in the past where you needed a locking blade? The only thing I've used a knife of any kind for in the last couple of years was to cut sausage into small bites to go in a meal. I find I use the scissors on my "Swiss Army Clipper" pretty frequently, but never the knife.
And the saw seems too short on the Blast to be worth much. I guess you might be able to use it to notch a stick (to make a stake) but you're certainly not going to use it for firewood.
My point? Would you be better served putting the five ounces into either a dedicated lock-blade knife or into a stand-alone saw that is really usable?
What I've carried has evolved as a result of my post-trip gear review process. Here's my personal evolution:
– Leatherman (old-school style – roughly 8 ounces in its leather sheath)
– Leatherman Juice (weighs almost as much but was smaller)
– Swiss Army Clipper (1.3 ounces – short blade, scissors, and nail clipper)
I was actually considering one of the two I mentioned in my earlier post but I think I've now talked myself out of it. I wanted pliers. I've never needed pliers while I was backpacking, but for some reason I wanted to have them. I just went through my typical gear list and there's not a single thing that I carry that could ever require the use of pliers! I have a frameless pack and I sleep in a hammock. I guess they might come in handy if something went wonky with one of my LT4 trekking poles, but that's about it.Aug 27, 2012 at 11:30 am #1906478

I have carpal tunnel and take a PS4. I use the pliers all the time for things that require a tight grip, like pulling tent stakes out of hard ground. Really saves me from flareups. And I have used the mini-screwdriver on it to fix my glasses in the field. But I can see where for most people there'd be no call for pliers. I hadn't known about the PS prior to this thread and I may get that instead. I carry a folding razor blade so I don't need the knife blade on the PS4, plus the PS has tweezers, which is something I keep meaning to put in my med kit but haven't. I wish there were a second screwdriver rather than that file though. I've never used one of those things but they seem to be popular to include.Aug 27, 2012 at 11:53 am #1906483

Craig, if you're willing to ditch the pliers, Victorinox has knives with locking blades and usable saws. There's probably also a model that has those plus scissors but you'd have to look, and knowing SAKs, you'd probably end up with a ton more unwanted tools just to get those three in the same implement.Aug 27, 2012 at 12:45 pm #1906496
Jen ChurchwardMember
I also bought the Style PS with no blade to go with my Spyderco Ladybug knife. I have a couple of other multitools to choose from, but this combo gives me a sharp blade that locks and feels a bit more handy than the non-locking blades on other small multitools. I also get both scissors and pliers (along with tweezers) on the Style PS. Unlike many, I have actually used pliers while backpacking… I have found they come in very handy for removing cactus spines from dog paws and shoes as they grip a lot better than tweezers. As for the saw, I have never found a use for one on a backpacking trip… I would think one of those wire saws would be better as it would be both lighter and allow you to saw bigger diameters than any saw on a multitool could.Aug 27, 2012 at 5:54 pm #1906637
I hear you on this, but I don't think I'm ready to roll with just the bare essentials yet.
Pliers: fell headlong and tried to break my fall with a BD pole last year, annihalated the bottom section. Had a heck of a jury-rigging it well enough to take weight on the way out. Pliers would have helped immensely. Also I've been tempted to buy a pot holder at 30 grams, figured pliers would cover both roles plus a lot of unforeseen.
Lockblade: mostly a 'what if'. Like what if my boot's wedged in submerged rocks and I need to cut the lace before losing balance and drowning. I find a few uses for a knife around the campsite and hut (and, heaven forbid, if you end up in a survival situation the more knife the better) and you only ever need to have one of those accidents that lock-blades are immune to to make you seriously regret not spending a few more grams on one.
The saw's mostly for clearing brush and small branches when pushed for shelter space, a few other 'what if's.
