Discuss GOTY in this thread. Also countdown for GOTY's release in this thread.
Last time I was this pumped for a game I wound up pretty let down. From everything I've heard I can't imagine I'll leave this game feeling the same.
Re: Dishonored
Looks like a good game but I don't think it can kill my addiction to Dark Souls.
Re: Dishonored
If reviews are good, I'll be sure to big this up. It looks excellent, but the last Bethesda game not named Elder Scrolls or Fallout I believe was Brink, and that was disappointing. So I'm a little worried.
Re: Dishonored
Looks good. Not really my style though, and doesn't seem like it would last me a while.
Re: Dishonored
Not sold on this game yet. Waiting for reviews.
Re: Dishonored
preordered after Seph's last thread on the topic. I'm predicting as good as BioShock was when that came out. I'll just be finishing up with Borderlands 2 as well.
interested to see how the teleportation works, the open-ish city, the never-the-same missions play out, and if it'll be any good.
Re: Dishonored
I've got it preordered. The pedigree behind the game, and all reports from the voices I'd trust about games like this, made it impossible not to.
Re: Dishonored
Here's some of the game play and the game looks pretty bad ass to me. I'll get it but I'll wait until it's cheaper or perhaps get it for Christmas.
Re: Dishonored
Its basically Bioshock meets Deus Ex meets Half-Life 2. How could this game not be amazeballs?

Reported Port Isaac Victim
It is greatly feared that Mr. Frank Couch, registered in the Titanic as 28, A.B., of Port Isaac, is among the victims of that terrible disaster. On Saturday last there was a ray of hope, the name of Church appearing among the survivors, but a wire arrived and confirmed the name as F. Clinch. Out of the 30 A.B.?s on the ill-fated ship it appears 26 are saved. It is generally thought here that Couch was one of four reported to have died at the oars of the boats, through the terrible exposure. He was a very upright, kindly, and bright young man, always ready to help where needed. He was a member of the local Liberal Club. Much sympathy goes out to his father (Capt. F. Couch, of Canadian Terrace). Capt. Couch is feeling the blow heavily, not long ago having lost his wife, and but a few years ago his eldest son, the captain of the ill-fated schooner Tregea. Young Frank was at home only about two months since. He was for some considerable time a Naval Reserve man.

text: Former Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts has officially joined Apple and is now listed on the company's executive page alongside other major Apple execs like Jonathan Ive, Tim Cook, Eddy Cue, and Craig Federighi. Ahrendts will take on the role of Senior Vice President of Retail and Online stores, a position that has seen significant turnover in recent years. Back in 2011, Ron Johnson left the position to join J.C. Penney after 11 years with Apple and while the role was filled by John Browett in 2012, he was ousted just months later. Since that time, Apple has operated without a retail leader. Back in October, when Ahrendts' hiring was first announced, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted he was "thrilled" she was joining the team, emphasizing that she shared Apple's values, "focus on innovation," and the company's dedication to customer experience. Prior to joining Apple, Ahrendts served as CEO of Burberry beginning in 2006. She is largely credited with boosting Burberry back to fame after a decline, tripling the company's revenue and working to merge Burberry's online experience with the brick and mortar experience. With her luxury brand experience and her dedication to improving customer experience, it's possible that Ahrendts could bring some significant improvements to both the online and retail shopping experience at Apple, at a time when the company is poised to launch several new flagship products, including the iPhone 6 and the iWatch.

Easy to use stuff
During his tenure as a Crutchfield staff writer, Marshall Chase wrote about home theater receivers, sound bars, and in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
More from Marshall Chase
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
I want to begin by saying that my mom is a great lady. She is 85 years old, meaning she grew up in an era when radios, airplanes and automobiles were just getting their start in the world. When I think about the leaps in consumer technology that have occurred in her lifetime, it boggles my mind. Movies are something you can watch at home. Telephones don't have to be attached to the wall. A person's entire music collection can fit in their pocket. Asking for directions is a rarity (this is actually unchanged if you are male anyways) because a little box in your car can direct you from coast to coast via the scenic route. And the list goes on.
But Mom is not the most tech-savvy person on the planet. I bought her a satellite radio about 5 years ago and she's never even changed the channel although she knows there're over 100 other choices (That's OK, though. She loves Siriusly Sinatra). I thought she was a rarity until I spent seven years talking with customers on the telephone at Crutchfield and quickly learned that there are many others with similar technical leanings.
Most consumer electronics don't require an engineering background to use and enjoy. In fact, there are many things that are easy and fun to play with. So to help folks like my Mom (or those who are buying for folks like my Mom) find those products, we're introducing a new blog series, "Easy to use stuff."
"Easy to use stuff" covers several kinds of products. First, there's equipment for people who never set the clock on the VCR. (It's always 12 o'clock in Mom's living room.) Next, we'll list the kind of equipment that a friendly person, (like Mom's own Sonny-Boy) needs to do some minor one-time set-up for, like programming a remote with the code for the TV. Finally, we'll include products that have a fairly easy set-up, just a few simple steps and then bang, the magic happens.
We'll talk about soundbars (for better sound than your TV), portable GPS devices (for the directionally challenged among us, like me), cameras (for better pictures and memories), and lots of other things that can seem big and scary, but are actually warm, fuzzy and fun.
As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome. I hope that you will let me know if you've found something that works great and is also user-friendly. Also, if you have some ideas for product categories you'd like to see addressed, please let me know.
Meantime, I will call Mom on her cell phone. She's got that one figured out pretty well.

PHC Adult Day Care Center Celebrates 30 Years
The Adult Day Health Care Center of the Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation celebrated its thirtieth year of service to the community on May 4, 2007. Many of Rockaway's elected officials, along with members of the board of directors of the Peninsula Hospital Center and the Extended Care Facility, administration, staff, volunteers and registrants of this unique medical/recreational facility joined together to mark this momentous occasion.
It is hard to believe that when the Adult Day Health Care Center opened its doors on May 2, 1977 with a fiveday a-week program and just a handful of registrants it would continue to grow to its present size of 100 registrants attending up to the full sevenday week that the facility now operates. New York State Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer and City Councilman James Sanders were on hand for the festivities and showered praise on the staff and registrants of this very unique adult day program that has weathered the past three decades and grown bigger and stronger throughout the years. Board President Joel A. Miele Sr., PE, delivered the opening remarks and Janet Miele-Powers, Administrator/ Senior Vice-President of the Extended Care Center took over the helm as the mistress of ceremonies.
Proclamations and citations were presented to Joyce Little, RN, ADHC Program Director by Assemblywoman Pheffer and representatives from State Senator Malcolm Smith and City Councilman Joseph Addabbo. Little credits the continuing success of the program to the longevity of both the staff and many of the residents, many of whom have been involved in the ADHC for as much as 30 years. "It's the familiarity between the staff and the registrants that make this a home-like environment, instead of just a medical day care facility," Little said. "The longevity of the staff in this program is what makes us more of an extended family. The staff knows the registrants' families. They know their likes and dislikes and they share their lives with each other. It goes far beyond caring for them during the 37 hour work week and it is this bond that has developed between the staff and the registrants that has enabled us to run a center here for these past 30 years." Little certainly understands the pull that the program has for its staff. It was her own mother, Eileen Giglio, RN, a nurse at the ADHC, who encouraged her to join the program 15 years ago where she now serves as its director and chief advocate.
The ADHC program provides a wide range of ambulatory care services aimed at keeping older persons healthy enough to remain at home, rather than in long-term assisted living situations. ADHC at Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation is a medical model adult day care, one which offers independence and dignity to its registrants while providing medical, nursing, rehabilitation and nutrition services which are required on a case by case basis. And, all of this care is dispensed by a top-notch team of highly skilled professionals within the context of a caring and social environment.
The services offered by ADHC include psychosocial assessment, medical monitoring, nutritional meals and counseling, comprehensive assessment and an individualized plan of care. Additionally, there is a full range of recreational programs available to all of the residents of the ADHC program including trips, barbecues, fashion shows, arts and crafts and games. There are also experienced registered nurses who manage the registrants' medication needs. Referrals to the Hospital Center's Dental, Podiatry and Ophthalmology, Speech, Hearing, Physical and Occupational Therapy Departments are arranged for the registrants as needed. A certified social worker provides counseling and assists with support services. Health education and promotion are also stressed as well as an exercise program. ADHC registrants can also be referred to the Hospital Center's out patient department for other support services such as x-ray, laboratory testing, electrocardiograms, mammographies, etc.
The therapeutic recreation department also encourages registrants to participate in leisure-time activities available through the PCECR's recreational department where participants watch movies, participate in holiday parties and learn about cooking, indoor gardening and crafts.
Eligibility for the program is simple. Individuals who are medically at risk and living in the Rockaways and its surrounding communities who are alert, able to feed themselves and handle their personal hygiene needs with minimal assistance and able to participate and be maintained safely are welcomed to the program. Acomplete medical evaluation prior to joining the program and a tuberculin test is mandatory for admission.
The program, including transportation, is fully covered for Medicaid registrants. There is also a private pay rate available for those who are not Medicaid eligible.
The Adult Day Health Care Center offers two daily sessions as well as weekend sessions. The session schedules are from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm or from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday and from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm Saturday and Sunday.

The 20% Withholding Rule
One of the biggest problems with taking a distribution from a qualified plan (such as a pension/profit-sharing plan, 401(k) plan, or a 403(b) plan) and then completing a rollover is the mandatory 20% withholding rule. You see, Uncle Sammy isn't too keen on letting you have these funds without taking a little chunk for himself in the form of 20% withholding. To avoid the mandatory withholding, you need to have the funds transferred directly into your new IRA rollover account (or take the check payable to the new IRA custodian, FBO you). Performing a trustee-to-trustee transfer will avoid the 20% withholding.
So, what's the problem with the 20% withholding besides the obvious? Remember that, to avoid taxes and penalties on an early distribution, you must roll over the total amount of the funds that you effectively receive. If Uncle Sammy takes 20% out in withholding, those are funds that you will have to "replace" from somewhere else to avoid taxes and penalties on that portion of the distribution that was not rolled over. Just because you didn't get the 20%, doesn't mean that you are off the hook for rolling those funds over to get out of any tax and penalty problems. In effect, you received the entire distribution and then "elected" to have 20% withheld... to be applied against future taxes.
Example #1: Bob, age 35, leaves his employment and informs his qualified plan administrator to send him a check for $30,000 -- which represents the balance in his retirement plan. Bob intends to make a rollover of those funds into an IRA account. When Bob receives his check, he finds that the check is for $24,000, and that $6,000 was turned over to the IRS in the form of withholding. Bob then takes his $24,000 net check and opens up an IRA rollover account with his new IRA custodian.
What has Bob really done, at least in the eyes of the IRS? He has taken a distribution of $30,000. He has rolled over only $24,000. He therefore has a shortfall of $6,000 which was not rolled over, and which will be subject to taxes and early distribution penalties. What could Bob have done instead? Well, he could have pulled $6,000 out of his personal account and added it to the $24,000 so that the complete $30,000 amount was rolled over. But, it could be a bit of a hardship to come up with those funds. Not only that, remember that Bob only has 60 days to complete a valid rollover, so he'll have to get those funds in a hurry.
What normally happens is that Bob rolls over the $24,000 and believes that he has made a full and complete rollover (that's all the money he really got, right?). Then, when the end of the year rolls around, and Bob receives a Form 1099R for the total of $30,000, the bells and whistles begin to go off. And usually, by that time, the 60-day time period has long since expired. If that happens, Bob is just stuck... with an empty feeling in the pit of his stomach and his wallet.
Bob could have avoided all of this with a trustee-to-trustee transfer. Instead of taking the funds, Bob could have advised his pension plan administrator to forward the entire $30,000 directly to his new IRA custodian. That's what would have happened, and there would be no 20% withholding on the transfer. Bob would have completed a qualified transfer of the funds and would not be liable for any taxes or penalties.
For this very reason, it is usually always better to make a trustee-to-trustee transfer of your qualified funds to your new IRA custodian rather than taking the funds personally (less the required 20% withholding) and trying a rollover.
And, please remember that the 20% withholding is not a tax, just a source of withholding. If you are saddled with a premature distribution, your actual tax and penalty liability will almost certainly be greater than the puny 20% withheld. Think about it, if you are in the 28% tax bracket and you are also hit with a 10% early distribution penalty, do you think that the 20% withholding will cover the entire amount? Hardly. You'll be about 18% short. So, please don't think that, just because there was money withheld from your retirement distribution, your taxes are "covered." In virtually all cases, nothing could be further from the truth.
Finally, there are distributions not subject to the 20% withholding rule. They include:
Other Rollover Rules
As we have previously discussed, you have 60 days from the receipt of the funds to make a qualified rollover. It is always safe to use the date that the distribution check was issued to begin the clock running on the 60 days. But, if there is a big difference between the check issue date and the date that you received the actual funds, make sure to keep any and all proof of when you actually received the funds (such as the envelope and/or the delivery record). You might find that these records come in handy if you ever have to prove that you complied with the 60-day requirement.
If the distribution is not rolled over within the 60-day period, it is taxed on the date that it was received and not the 60th day after withdrawal.
Example #2: Mary receives her distribution check in December of 2000 and decides not to make a rollover. Although her 60 days expires in the year 2001, she will have to report the distribution on her 2000 income tax return.
In a rollover from one IRA to another, the same type of assets must be rolled over. This means that you can't take a stock distribution from IRA #1, sell it, and then try to roll over cash to IRA #2. Likewise, you can't take a cash distribution from an IRA, purchase stock, and then use the stock to complete the rollover into IRA #2. You must roll over the cash first, and then purchase the stock through the IRA account.
The rules are a bit different for distributions from qualified plans (like an employer's 401(k) or similar plan). When a distribution from an employer's qualified plan contains property other than cash, for it to qualify for rollover treatment one of two things has to happen. Either the property itself must be rolled over, or the property must be sold and the proceeds from that sale must be rolled over into the new IRA. You may not retain the property and substitute other funds to complete the rollover.
I hope that this series of articles dealing with IRA rollovers and transfers has helped you understand how they actually work, and has given you some food for thought when dealing with your own rollover/transfer issues. But please remember that the rollover/transfer rules can get pretty complicated, so make sure you read IRS Publication 590 for more complete information. As always, should you have any questions or comments regarding this or any other tax matter, you can always direct them to me in the Tax Strategies discussion folder.

I'm linking up with Erika from MCM Mama, My No Guilt Life and Run The Great Wide Somewhere today for Tuesdays on the Run!
The topic this week is:
Ok, let's be honest. If you are a runner, chances are all you want to do is run. At least that's how I was until about 6-8 months ago. I wanted nothing to do with crosstraining and I always found a way to avoid it. Until one day, for some reason (not sure why), it was like someone turned on a light switch. I always KNEW crosstraining was important, but I didn't make it a priority. Then, I attended my first spin class at my gym, and then body pump, and then yoga….and I realized that whoa…there is something else out there besides running??!! WHAT? Don't get me wrong, my love for running hasn't gone away, but I have FINALLY come to the realization that it is just as important in training as your run. It's just one of those things that you "know" but until you are ready to embrace it with open arms, you will put it on the back burner. Well for some reason, I became ready to embrace it and I haven't looked back. I look forward to my crosstraining every week. It spices things up, gives a change of pace and breaks up the monotony.
So, here are my favorite cross training workouts for the moment!
1. PiYo–totally all about Charlene right now.
I wasn't sure how intense these workouts would be when I first bought it. And let's be honest, I'm one of those people who has great intentions, buys the videos and then never does it. I figured that it would be a low key yoga/pilates, non-sweat workout but boy was I wrong. These are TOUGH workouts and so great for your core, which lets face it….a lot of us neglect. This is the ONLY video I've been consistent about doing.
2. Spinning— I've talked about my love of spin before. I had to take a little hiatus from my beloved Revolve, but I'm back starting next week. I even bought my own pair of clip ins for class I like it so much.
3. Strength training–I started the Run Builder Strength program this week.
I know that strength training is the only thing that really helps me shed the fat. I carry around my excess weight like a spare tire in my belly. If I only can stick to it, I know that I can shed these extra pounds I've put on from all of the traveling this past month and some extra marathon training pounds too.
4. yoga— My New Year's resolution this year was to do yoga once a week. Unfortunately I haven't been consistent with this, but I am doing it at least every other week. I need to do it more because I still feel like this most days….
5. Barre—
I purchased a Living Social deal for a barre studio a few months ago and absolutely LOVE barre class. It is such a great workout for runners and love that it is low impact and strengthens the legs and core! I just wish it wasn't so expensive!

How do you think slavery influenced the evolution of both black and white America today.
Read through these posts where this question has been asked and answered before.
How do you think slavery influenced the evolution of both Black and White America today?
How do you think slavery influenced the evolution of both black and white americans today
HI, sylvia how is are your classes going at Axia University online? who is your Eth Diversity professor. I cant belive we don't have a class together this time.
how about you do your own work and quit scouring for help on this site.
I had writing with you last block
I think that our country owes a lot to the blacks that were brought here through bondage and to those who were free. They help this country to become what it is. They built this country. The whites that were slave owners needed people to do their work for them but made the blacks do it. They felt superior then and some whites still do to this day. Our country do not have slaves any more but we are still living with people that has that slave mentality. Some people still think that blacks are beneath them. If that was not the case, why do we still have these racist groups in our country? The group may not be as visible as the were back then but they are around. The Ku Klux Klan are in business suits and judges wearing black robes instead of white ones. We are still divided unfortunately in this country. Slavery has left pain, anger and frustration in many peoples hearts and I believe it will be many more years before it is gone. Some whites today feel that blacks use slavery as an excuse for many things and that blacks now have too many advantages. We do not have any advantages in my opinion. We still have to prove that we are smart educated individuals and that we deserve to be treated as equals not less than any other person. Many positive things have come about but we still have a long way to go before we are in harmony with race issues.
Consider racial imbalances in education, the economy, family life, housing, criminal justice, health care, and politics. Of these societal challenges facing modern African Americans, which do you think are most difficult to overcome, and why?

xD I knew it!!! I knew it!!! ohhh a certain guildie now owns me 500g :Pwe had a bet about wheter or not maintenance would be "extended" I sad yes, he said no.looks like I won.bet you all 3 to 1 the servers won't go live till at least 6 more hours
You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell! Sorry felt appropriate for my beloved Azeroth. This extended time is to be expected though eh?
This happens every time they add a major patch maybe they should estimate a later time every time they have a major patch so it wouldn't be extended lol
Deathwings Ascent is taking longer than anticipated... please standby and keep your seat back in the upright position.
i wake up at that time anyway...
I'd be surprised if anyone was surprised by this, lol.
Whoever predicts the patch window should go into weather forecasting, train scheduling, and doom saying. All professions in which being wrong about when things happen are tolerated.
Meh. iron out those kinks so I can play when I get off work at 5. Until then, my RSS feeds keep me in a state of anticipation.
This is Blizzard for ya. Wouldnt be surprised if it was extended 3 or 4 more times.
Since this is the biggest change to wow, except the biggest maintenance
might as well not plan on playing til tomorrow
well knowing what happened with 4.0.1 im just gonna wait till around 8 pm eastern to bother loading up my client. Typical.
Well I saw this coming...off to play Dragon Age XD

One of the Guys: Women as Aggressors and Torturers
€ 15,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Februar 2007
BeschreibungThe debate about women and torture has, until recently, focused on women as victims of violence. But when photographs were released from the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal, one featured Lynndie England holding a prisoner by a dog leash. Overnight, she became a symbol of women's capacity to inflict pain and suffering -- and soon, many in America were questioning why the infliction of violence has always been seen as inherently male. "One of the Guys" deals specifically with this issue.
In her foreword, Barbara Ehrenreich wonders why she once assumed women possessed an innate aversion to violence. Her essay then serves as a launching point for the rest of the contributors, which include academics, journalists, and activists, each grappling with women's involvement in torture and the abuse of power.
The essays in "One of the Guys" challenge and examine the expectations placed on women while attempting to understand female perpetrators of abuse and torture in a broader context.

Love your bush poetry - week 2
15 May 2013 , 1:39 PM by Fiona Sewell
The winner of week 2 of the ABC Far North/Cairns Show Society Bush Poetry Competition is (drum roll please!!)
SNOWY AND THE ANT by Warren Cox
Listen to it here.
SNOWY AND THE ANT by Warren Cox
We sat inside the woolshed,
It was too hot in the sun
Snowy wore his Aussie shorts
The ones that showed his bum.
He'd dropped some flaky pie crust
As his north and south took grips
On a golden crusted home bake
That caressed his sun-chapped lips.
He didn't see the bull ant
To be truthful nor did I
But it had its ant antenna
Focussed square on Snowy's pie.
Now this raised quite a problem
That no one could predict.
A trip through Snowy's boxers
Was the path the bull ant picked.
Poor Snowy sat there unaware
The ant was on the move,
Till climbing unrelentlessly
It found that shady groove.
I reckoned it was tuckered out
And stopped to have a kip
And a little snack while resting
To sustain it on its trip.
'Cause suddenly all hell broke loose
And Snowy's off his date,
While home baked pie went flying high
Across the farmyard gate
Poor Snowy pirouetted
He high kicked round the floor
He tried to get his shorts off
But failed to see the door.
For just a brief "what happened" time
He lay there on the ground.
Then screaming like a banshee
Up he flew with one quick bound.
He waltzed and jived and quick stepped
He tangoed and he tapped
His fox trot was a sight to see
And how that boy could rap.
When finally he found a way
To drop his daks to earth
With no Reg Grundies underneath
We learned what he was worth.
Now when we get together
For a cold one and a pie
One story's guaranteed
To make us laugh until we cry.
It's not the pain and suffering
The ant caused Snow that day.
It's his anguish when he tells us
"The bastard got away."
A LETTER TO THE EDITOR, CAIRNS POST, APRIL 20, 1999 by Bob Melvin
Sir, I note with dismay in your paper today,
Page twelve on the right in "In Brief".
Is a snippet purporting to be news reporting,
Yet its style causes this reader grief.
Oh the story's alright, perhaps trifling and trite,
Re the lady who's Liege of Australia.
It's the photograph, left, which has left me bereft,
Its caption 'ever branding you "failure".
Must I point it out sir, are you yet such a cur,
Should I let such a slur go unpointed?
Does republican chatter make you think "it don't matter"
If you don't use her titles anointed?
Both "Her Majesty", true, or "Queen Elizabeth II",
Would have taken more ink on your page
Yet a simple "Regina" would be better, old china,
Than the risk of monarchical rage.
You declare your position by the wilful omission
Of that simple but seminal "the".
In your search for expedience you expose disobedience
To that ever omnipotent "She"
Now the epithet chosen could be used for exposin'
The name of a rock band expired.
Or a man who's confused by his hormonal cues,
Or an actress in histrionics mired.
But the title, as stated, abridged and truncated,
Gives no clue to your subjective status.
Are you sir, a fool, or a complicit tool
In a plot for our monarchs hiatus?
Thus the well-mannered faction must demand a retraction,
And perhaps an apology too?
Til she no longer reigns o'er our vast golden plains,
Please pay her the homage she's due.
COUNTRY LIVING by Don Cook
Sausages frizzling in a frying pan, pancakes piled with cream and jam
Home baked bread straight from the oven and grandma's cookies - don't ya love 'em
Country kids around the kitchen table with jugs of milk from - Jersey Mable!
Through the window a sky so blue, Mable's calf bawling for her milk too
And all the cookies us kids wishes, but only when we've done the dishes.
Fly screen door sent a flying, we're in trouble, babies crying
Out house doors' the perfect wicket, for a game of back yard cricket
Grandpa screaming, "What's the caper? "On the throne with the morning paper
Sisters playing hide and seek, yabbies biting in the creek.
Horns are honking, friends, and cousins, kids come running by the dozens
Falcon cars and Holden utes, cowboy hats and riding boots
Now sisters giggling at grandpa farting, ice-cold four XXXX gets the party starting
Country music is fairly blaring, 'cause Grandma's a little hard of hearing.
Now every one singing, 'Hey true Blue,' it's a typical outback barbecue
But there's no trouble,
No one's sinning
It's just straight up country living.
BABINDA TOWN by Judi Van Dycke
Hey gone north to a little old town
Hey gone north where the rain pours down
Hey gone north where the sugar cane's found-
You just cruise up north on the big old Bruce
And take a quick hard left and get 'foot loose'.
It's a sweet old town where mountains surround
A stray old dog will come and hang around.
Where old folks can have a good ol' yak in the street
And our friendly butcher prides the best country meat.
We've all the stores and services to boot!
Even Op shop stuff to fill up your ute.
And Community Bank, you little beaut
When you need to kick back from a busy week
Go a kayak hire on Babinda Creek
If you wanna grab a big family treat
Go to Munro Picture Theatre — it's got canvas seats.
There's cassowaries, snakes and crocs you know
Just step right back and let them go.
It's such a good old town I want you to know
I came up here a long time ago.
It's got all that you want - it's so complete
Have an awesome massage at Relaxabout Retreat .
We've got the highest old mountain in all Queensland
And the beautiful Boulders, to relax and swim around
Down the road is The Josephine Falls
And just within reach there's Bramston Beach.
We've got the wettest old town in Aus you know
It's a tropical paradise so off you go!
You just cruise up north on the big old Bruce
And take a quick hard left and get 'foot loose'.
It's a sweet old town where mountains surround
A stray old dog will come and hang around.
Where old folks can have a good ol' yak in the street
And our friendly butcher prides the best country meat.
Hey gone north to a little old town
Hey gone north where the rain pours down
Hey gone north where the sugar cane's found-
RAINY SEASON by Jeremy Hillard
I hate the bloody rain,
Day after bloody day.
The sky like the people is grey.
If I was a mushroom, I'd be gay.
But being human, I must refrain.
I hate the bloody rain,
There it is, I've said it again.
Have you seen what this weather
does to all things leather?
My motorbike jacket, I have not seen,
Boots and belt once black now green.
It's grey, it's cold, it's wet,
It's Thursday and I haven't seen the sun yet!
Oh thunder storms, they're great,
There's rain, there's thunder and then it's all over,
Just my luck there are none of late.
I'd pay you for a 4 leaf clover,
a rabbit's foot, a twist of fate?
I could sell up, become a rover,
No moss grows on a rolling stone,
Though lord knows it covers my home.
But I grew up here, the North is my zone, without family and friends, I'd be all alone.
Wait a minute, hey! Away from TV,
get off the phone!
It's the sun, it's the sun!
Time to go now and have some fun.
I LOVE A SUNBURNT COUNTRY! by Chris Moon
I love a sunburnt country
That gets dug up and sent overseas
By multinational companies
That our governments are so eager to please.
A land of sweeping plains of forest range
And reef must be screaming out in pains
And feels our rage and grief our rivers,
Lakes and creeks polluted dried up gas fractured
Now have fiery bloody leaks but their stuff got manufactured
Their big equipment makes 'em able to dig down to the limits
They f**k the entire water table
And disturb Blackfella spirits
Madly burning carbon they ship it all to China
They get a profit hard on their lives could not be finer
The banks are taking farmers land
As they've done before ANZ made 4million grand
The farmer loses more and even in this hour
With interest, tax and law they lust for more power
And keep Max the worker poor but an ignorant Joe average
A slave on life's treadmill can't keep a tyrant so savage
Using his children to pay the bill so take a look around you
At what is going on and you'll agree with me too
Something is very f**king wrong but confront them with the facts
And conspiracy they laugh they lie and put on such an act It makes me want to BARF.
RAVENSHOE by Jane Rodwell
Ravenshoe is wonderful, it is also quite diverse
It really is the centre of our local universe
It is really not about just things
It is the community that pulls our strings.
It is the self sufficient people here who really turn me on
We do not run to government for every single thing
We get right in and do it, get it happening
We have got two singing groups and a giant pack of rats
Our sporting groups are legend, and that's an end to that.
The writers group, book readers club
Golf, bowls and really lovely grub
The visitor centre here has answers galore
About historic places, and the forest floor.
Our ancient train on metal rails
Our walking tracks and misty trails
Pony club and of course tai chi
These all spell out Ravenshoe to me!
Churches, friends, community centre,
New in town? Please enter
It is all about community,
And caring for each other.
Small towns are best at this
As soon you will discover
Ravenshoe is the centre
I loves it, like a lover!!
SONG FOR THE NURSES by Kelly Dixon
They are the troops who fill the front lines, in the battle so many don't know,
They carry no guns and they march to no drum and never the bugles will blow,
To rally their spirits, to frighten the foe, no pipes and no drums chant their praise,
The uniformed warriors working the wards, heroes in unwritten ways!
They are the scouts and the forward patrols, though they carry no visible load,
No medals of honour shall they ever win, as they march down their chosen long road –
Reinforcements are scarce in the battle they fight and supplies too sometimes don't arrive,
But they fight with the strength God has given them all, to keep someone needy alive.
They clean and they comfort and stand their long watch, the corridors echo their tread.
The trolley wheels hiss as they trundle the drugs, to the side of some hospital bed –
Though long are the shifts, they will seldom complain, whether morning or drear winter night,
No flag of surrender will ever they wave, in the soul-searing battle they fight!
Battalions of courage and kindness and care, more precious than diamonds or gold,
Squadrons of angels, all colours and sizes, caring for young and for old –
There in the frontline, fighting a foe, for them seldom headlines shall blaze,
The uniformed warriors, working the wards, heroes in unwritten ways!
THE POT by Faye Riddell
Mom was tired as she asked the kids to pack their toys –
The girls were happy about the move but not the boys.
They will have to leave their cubby above the creek,
But dad told them they could build another one in a week.
The boys will leave their flying fox and their collection of rocks
Around the campfire where they slowly dried the wet socks
They hung from sticks over the fire and worried not a jot
As they sat barefoot – as the yabbies turned red in the pot/
In that old pot today tiny leaves turn to soil in the weather
As high above a small falcon pulls out a downy feather
It swirls as it floats slowly down to settle on the handle
Then flutters off again – softly – like the flame of a candle.
Two wallabies flap their ears as they settle with the flies
In the shade of the tree and stretching one of them lies
With an outstretched foot which moves the rusting pot
In its hiding place. The day nearing noon is getting hot!
At night an echidna snuffling about will give the pot a push
And search beneath it before shuffling back to the bush.
The stories this pot could tell – this historical piece of the past –
Will soon be covered by grass and the coming years at last.
The sheds, the barns, the houses with their curtains of lace
Are gone now from this town – a pretty and once busy place.
There are no burnt out stumps – even they were taken away –
So we pick up the bits of coloured glass – jewels from another day.
Broken bottles were placed in scattered heaps before they went
And a crosscut saw with its hardwood handles gone – is bent.
Exploring we trip over old chunks of iron – forgotten logging chinks,
And the happy railway memories are now just piles of nails and links.
We walk along the ridge to where the wobbly bridge had been
For we love the stories of early times, the pictures we have seen.
Although it is clear to us that little is left – where it was is plain
As we sit near the pot that is hiding there – we sit and we look again.
THE FADING OF YOUTH by Carole McGuffog
I am yearning son, I'm yearning
For the days when you were so young
When I sat you on my knee
And read to you my son.
You were happy son, so happy
Playing out in the backyard
With your friends and siblings -
Life was not so hard!
I was proud son, oh so proud son
Of all your dutiful ways
You were never any trouble
Always quick to hear and obey.
Never lazy son, never lazy
You worked a paper run
Did odd jobs for pocket money
Made your home chores fun.
I was fearful son, so fearful
When you left to work away
But I never failed to pray son -
I prayed most every day.
I was grieving son, was grieving
When in the paper I read
Your name there in the court news
In shame I hung my head.
You had fallen son, had fallen
To the lure of "Mary Jane"
Your loving and moral upbringing
It seems you choose to disdain,
I was wounded son, so wounded
As time and time again
You were in and out of trouble
My heart was racked with pain.
I cried son, I was crying
The day they led you away
Locked you up for a long time -
It seemed forever and a day.
I regretted son, regretted
The day that i gave birth
The day of your transition
From womb to Mother Earth.
I mourned son, yes I mourned
Over the ensuing years,
For the days when you were young,
The days that knew no tears.
I was joyful son, yes joyful
The day of your release
I was singing all the way home
My heart knew wondrous peace.
You were crying son, yes crying
The day your son was born
While I laughed with pleasure
No more need to mourn.
You were proud, son, oh so proud
As your son grew to a man
While i too watched on proudly,
Proud to be his Nan.
KAREN'S POEM by John French
She was the apple of her parent's eye,
So sweet and kind, they knew she wouldn't fly
Karen was cute when she was a young chick,
Her dress sense was plain, but no-one complained, not even a bit.
But as she got older her tastes were new
She liked bright colours like red and blue.
As years went by 'er waist got wider and she
Got a bit heavy, at least her big kept her steady.
Her nose grew long it has to be said, I won't even
Mention the lump on her head.
When people did see her they were a bit wary,
For they'd never seen such a beautiful thing as a cassowary.
HUMANITY by Ivy Zappala
Picture the whole world sitting peacefully, floating around in space,
Containing all land, oceans, rivers, animals as well as the human race.
The red blooded ones fight for survival, eating what they need,
They have learned to live by hunting as instinctively they proceed
To play the cat and mouse game, outwitting each other to survive,
Obtaining and eating more and more in the struggle to stay alive.
Human beings think they own the world by their supremacy in wars,
They've invented all these wondrous things, but now it's time to pause.
We're running out of air to breathe, contaminating out land and water,
Mining instead of growing crops, we're going like lambs to the slaughter.
We're destroying our fertile land to produce uranium and gas for money,
Remember the 1986 Chernobyl disaster? In Russian that wasn't funny!
But never mind, we're got lovely clothes and the football's on today,
Our fingernails are a lovely colour and our hair will never be grey.
We'll dye it red, blue, green or pink and we'll go to the casino tonight!
Our men will go and have a beer and watch the heavyweight fight!
Who cares if the whole world goes upside down, it all will be okay!
Hopefully the sun will rise in the morning and we'll live for another day!
FROM STRINGYBARK RIDGE by Kelly Dixon
I was born to the song of the chainsaw and axe,
And the crack of the whipbirds at dawn -
A timberman's eldest, our home was a hut,
Up on Stringybark Ridge I was born!
My first love I met with, on Stringybark Ridge -
Where the messmates and tallow-woods grew,
Her hair was the black of a satin bird's wing,
And her eyes were that deepwater blue -
She rode with the daintiest bridle hand's touch,
On her gelding, a high-stepping grey -
Where the music of bellbirds, in stringybarks tall,
Was matched by her laughter so gay!
We loved every evening, when time would allow,
My love for her deepened each week -
Oh, but I had been born to a timberman, poor,
While her family owned Faraway Creek!
Now, Faraway Creek is a huge cattle run,
With a hundred-year history its claim -
Whilst Stringybark Ridge is called Poverty Park,
By those who make jest of its name.
My love was the jewel in a moneyed man's crown,
A princess, just standing in line
For a Kingdom to rule, she'd inherit a crown,
If she broke from a family like mine!
So we parted one eve, and she shed not a tear,
As she swung to her saddle with ease;
And the sound of her laughter is mocking me yet,
It still rings through the stringybark trees -
Now, she rules from her court, out on Faraway Creek,
While I booze 'neath this Warrego bridge -
With a bottle of red, in my second-hand car,
Where I'm haunted, by Stringybark Ridge!

text: There is growing recognition of the importance of population dynamics for the challenges and solutions associated with climate change. Population size, growth, composition, distribution and mobility are constantly changing, and these changes affect our climate and the ability of people to adapt to it. Women's health, including access to voluntary family planning and reproductive health (FP/rh), is an important part of strengthening their capacity to adapt, and can promote changes in demographic trends and encourage sustainability. Therefore, climate adaptation planning and financing should include social sector adaptation strategies such as FP/rh.

EASTAUGH, Justice.
The question presented in these two cases is whether the right to a jury trial announced in Blakely v. Washington
A jury convicted Troy Smart of second-degree assault. Because Smart was a second felony offender he faced a presumptive sentence of four years with a maximum sentence of ten years.
Henry Douglas pleaded no contest to first-degree robbery. As a second felony offender Douglas faced a presumptive sentence of ten years and a maximum sentence of twenty years.
In June 2000 the United States Supreme Court held in Apprendi v. New Jersey that defendants have a constitutional right to have a jury decide any disputed fact—other than the fact of a prior conviction—that increases a sentence beyond the statutory maximum, and to have each such fact proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
After Blakely was issued, Douglas filed an Alaska Criminal Rule 35(a) motion claiming that his sentence was illegal under Blakely. Superior Court Judge Ben J. Esch denied Douglas's motion, holding that "Blakely is not retroactive and does not apply to this case because it is not on . . . direct appeal."
Likewise, Smart filed an Alaska Criminal Rule 35(a) motion in 2004, claiming that his sentence was illegal under Blakely. Superior Court Judge Larry R. Weeks concluded that Smart's request could only be presented as an Alaska Criminal Rule 35.1 petition for post-conviction relief. Treating the motion as a Rule 35.1 petition, Judge Weeks denied Smart's motion, holding that Blakely did not apply retroactively to cases that have been decided on appeal.
Smart and Douglas both appealed. The court of appeals decided Smart's appeal first. It first held that the state retroactivity test
The state filed petitions for hearing challenging both decisions. We granted the petitions, ordered full briefing, and consolidated the cases for decision.
A. Standard of Review
These cases require interpretation of the United States and Alaska Constitutions and federal and state case law concerning the retroactivity of appellate decisions. We use our independent judgment in reviewing rulings turning on federal and state constitutional law.
Apprendi and Blakely
Because this case turns on whether Blakely applies retroactively to cases on collateral review,
The question facing state courts after Apprendi and Blakely was whether the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Federal Constitution in those cases should be given full retroactivity by a state reviewing its own criminal convictions. One part of that question was whether the issue of retroactivity should be decided by applying an individual state's retroactivity standard or the federal retroactivity standard set out in Teague v. Lane.
The Court in Danforth v. Minnesota summarized the Teague rule as follows:
Thus, under Teague, to use the terms we identified in footnote eighteen, limited retroactivity must be given as a matter of course to new constitutional rules announced by the United States Supreme Court. In other words, when a new ruling is announced by the United States Supreme Court it must be applied to any case still pending on direct review in the state system. Because neither of the cases before us was still pending on direct review in the state system when Blakely was decided, the question in these cases is whether full retroactivity should be afforded to the Blakely ruling. Under the Teague standard for full retroactivity, full retroactivity would be required if Blakely was a ruling that placed a certain kind of primary individual conduct beyond the power of the states to proscribe or if it was a "watershed" rule of criminal procedure. Until Danforth was decided, it was an open question whether a state court could grant full retroactive effect to a United States Supreme Court ruling in cases in which the Teague standard for full retroactivity was not met. That issue was decided by the Court in Danforth.
Danforth and the Applicable Test for Full Retroactivity
The Supreme Court introduced the retroactivity issue in Danforth as follows: "The question in this case is whether Teague constrains the authority of state courts to give broader effect to new rules of criminal procedure than is required by that opinion. We have never suggested that it does, and now hold that it does not."
Danforth therefore allows us to apply either the Teague test for full retroactivity or a state constitutional test so long as the state test is at least as comprehensive as the federal test. The Alaska Court of Appeals determined that the three-factor test used in Judd v. State
We borrowed these standards from those the Supreme Court discussed in Linkletter v. Walker.
Subsequently, in Williams v. United States the Supreme Court applied the Linkletter standards to a case on direct review.
Use of the Linkletter standards for cases on direct review did not long survive in the United States Supreme Court. In United States v. Johnson, the Court adopted Justice Harlan's view, save for cases where the new ruling was said to be "a clear break with the past."
In light of the force of Justice Harlan's rationale, it may be difficult to defend the use of the Linkletter/Judd standards in cases involving direct review on the state level. No party argues that any standard other than those discussed in Teague and Judd should be applied here on collateral review. Absent meaningful argument on the issue, we decline to consider whether to apply some other standard in these cases.
Using Judd as the test for full retroactivity, we must first determine whether the disputed cases announced a new rule.
To confirm that Judd is no less protective than the federal standard, and that it can therefore be applied to determine full retroactivity of Blakely, we consider whether Blakely would be fully retroactive under Teague. To do so, we look to how the federal courts have applied Teague to Blakely. So long as Judd at least meets the federal standard, it does not offend federal law.
The federal courts of appeals that have carefully considered the issue have concluded
D. Is
Blakely a New Rule or Was It Compelled by the Holding in Apprendi?
Under Alaska law, as a preliminary matter we must decide whether Blakely announced a new rule or was instead a compelled application of then-existing precedent.
In Teague Justice O'Connor, who wrote the lead opinion, stated that "in general . . . a case announces a new rule when it breaks new ground" or, in other words, "if the result was not dictated by precedent existing at the time the defendant's conviction became final."
The Alaska Court of Appeals did not address this issue before analyzing retroactivity
We consequently conclude that Blakely announced a new rule of law and that it therefore does not automatically apply on collateral review. We must apply Alaska's full retroactivity test to determine whether this new rule applies retroactively to Smart and Douglas.
E. Is
Blakely Fully Retroactive Under Judd?
The full retroactivity standard adopted in Judd v. State requires us to consider three factors when deciding whether to apply a new constitutional rule retroactively: (1) the purpose to be served by the new standards; (2) the extent of the reliance by law enforcement authorities on the old standards; and (3) the effect on the administration of justice of a retroactive application of the new standards.
1. The purpose of the rule announced in
The purpose of the Blakely rule is to guarantee that a jury finds beyond a reasonable doubt the facts that determine the maximum sentence. The Supreme Court explained that "[w]hen a judge inflicts punishment that the jury's verdict alone does not allow, the jury has not found all the facts `which the law makes essential to the punishment,' and the judge exceeds his proper authority."
Applying the Judd standard, the court of appeals concluded that Blakely should be applied fully retroactively.
The court relied on our opinion in Rutherford v. State, which quoted from Justice White's plurality opinion in Williams v. United States
The Rutherford language relied on by the court of appeals in holding that the first factor was determinative sets a high standard. That standard ensures that only the most exceptional new rules are not subject to the three-part balancing test. The new rule must "raise[] serious questions about the accuracy" of previous verdicts and "overcome an aspect of the criminal trial which substantially impair[ed] its truth-finding function."
Here we must decide whether to balance the three Judd factors, as we did in Rutherford, or whether Blakely's purpose is so closely related to the accuracy of guilty verdicts that it supersedes the other factors. The proper comparisons here are (1) between judge and jury as fact-finder, and (2) between the clear and convincing proof standard and the proof beyond a reasonable doubt standard. The Rutherford standard asks whether permitting a judge to find facts under a lower standard of proof "substantially impairs [the criminal trial's] truth-finding function" and "raises serious questions about the accuracy of guilty verdicts in past trials."
To begin, we review some of the constitutional principles that do impact truth-finding so substantially that the importance of their purposes precludes balancing other factors. Rutherford listed cases in which this standard was applied and the purpose of the new rule was held to be outcome-determinative. For example, the Supreme Court held that the right to counsel applied retroactively because "the `denial of the right must almost invariably deny a fair trial.'"
Both the right to counsel and the right to confront witnesses are central to a fair and accurate trial.
The court of appeals relied heavily on the Supreme Court's discussion of the reasonable doubt standard in In re Winship.
Not every rule involving the reasonable doubt standard is as important as the rule announced in Winship.
That a Blakely violation does not rise to the level of substantially impairing the truth-finding function of the criminal trial is also demonstrated by its remedy. A Blakely violation requires remand for resentencing. It does not require a new trial or vacating the conviction.
Because the standard-of-proof aspect of Blakely is dictated by the Federal Constitution, we also look to the federal courts for guidance. We find their logic persuasive even though the federal courts apply a different standard of full retroactivity. Every court of appeals that has dealt with the issue, whether calling it the Blakely or Apprendi rule, has concluded that the rule is procedural.
A new procedural rule is only given fully retroactive effect under the federal standard if it is a "`watershed rule[] of criminal procedure' implicating the fundamental fairness and accuracy of the criminal
We conclude that Blakely announced a procedural rule that does not raise serious questions about the fundamental fairness and accuracy of our criminal trials. The clear and convincing standard applied to Douglas and Smart did not seriously diminish the accuracy of fact-finding when they were sentenced. The purpose of Blakely is to ensure constitutional sentences — punishment matching the facts found by the jury — by requiring that aggravating factors be proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. The right to jury findings and proof beyond a reasonable doubt is fundamental in our system of criminal procedure. But because the purpose of the rule announced in Blakely is not, under Rutherford, conclusive of full retroactivity, we must balance all three of the Judd factors.
2. The extent of reliance on the pre-
Blakely rule
Although the court of appeals's decision did not balance the three factors of the Judd test, it nonetheless discussed the second and third factors.
The state points out that the court of appeals upheld judicial fact-finding over twenty years ago and asserts that, before Blakely was published, "hundreds, if not thousands" of appellate opinions were issued without questioning this rule.
3. The effect on the administration of justice of applying
Blakely retroactively
The court of appeals concluded that the third factor — the effect on the administration of justice of a retroactive application of Blakely — favored retroactivity.
Judd asks what effect retroactive application will have on the administration of justice, not how many appeals might be successful. Full retroactive application thus looks at the entire number of retroactivity claims that will be brought and asks how those cases will affect the administration of justice. Review of even 250 cases would take up a great amount of court and staff time and it seems certain that there may be hundreds more cases that have not yet been brought back to the trial courts. We agree with the observations of Chief Judge Coats, who stated in dissent that "[d]efendants who conceded aggravating factors ... can claim that they would not have conceded [the factor] had they known they were entitled to a jury trial."
4. Conclusion: no full retroactivity
Weighing all three factors of the Judd test is a difficult exercise. It is clear that many defendants received sentences that are inconsistent with Blakely, because aggravating factors were not proved to a
F. Other Issues
The parties and the amicus raise other related issues: whether we should adopt Blakely as a matter of state law; whether a Blakely claim is properly brought under Alaska Criminal Rule 35(a) or Criminal Rule 35.1; and whether post-conviction relief actions are governed by the retroactivity standard in AS 12.72.010. We briefly address each of these issues in turn.
1. Should we adopt
Blakely under Alaska law?
Smart, Douglas, and the amicus argue that we should adopt the Blakely reasoning as a matter of state law under the Alaska Constitution's due process and right to a jury clauses. Even if we were to adopt Blakely as a matter of state law, Judd would govern full retroactivity. The new standard would consequently not apply to Smart and Douglas. It is therefore not necessary to decide the issue here.
2. Are
Blakely challenges properly brought under Alaska Criminal Rule 35(a)?
The state argues that a Blakely challenge is a claim that the manner or procedure of imposing the sentence was illegal, not that the sentence itself was illegal. The state points out that the term "illegal sentence" has been narrowly construed and argues that Rule 35(a) does not permit challenges to sentences that were imposed through procedures that were legally defective.
We do not have to decide the issue. Because Blakely is not fully retroactive, neither the sentences nor the procedures used to impose the sentences were illegal.
3. Are post-conviction relief actions governed by the retroactivity standard in AS 12.72.010 and Rule 35.1?
The state argues that if a Blakely challenge must be brought under Rule 35.1, both Rule 35.1 and AS 12.72.010 adopt the Teague standard to determine whether Blakely is retroactive.
Applying Alaska's standard first announced in Judd to the present question of full retroactivity, we hold that Blakely is not retroactive as to defendants whose sentences were final when Blakely was decided on June 24, 2004. We therefore REVERSE the holdings of the court of appeals in Smart v. State and Douglas v. State and REMAND for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Blakely, 542 U.S. at 301-02[, 124 S.Ct. 2531]. Furthermore, the Court stated in Blakely that its "commitment to Apprendi in this context reflects not just respect for longstanding precedent, but the need to give intelligible content to the right of jury trial, [which is] a fundamental reservation of power in our constitutional structure." Id. at 305-06, 124 S.Ct. 2531.

Good house near the undergroud, quiet street. A big bedroom and clean. The italian woman cleaning very kind. The only problems are the WC (it didin´t flush well) and the wood floor (a lot of noise only walking in the bedroom in upper room). Good house for a couple of days and visitting London.
Very good and quite location. Room confortable and clean, but I recommend not to book the room with shower, because it doesn't work properly and probable it's more expensive that ones without bathroom.
Very bad behaviour of the owner. No reply to mails, messages.
This place is really comfortable, everything's clean, it's a nice house near the centre of London. I would highly recommend it!
It was a great experience. We met interesting people and had a great time. We would come again.
The room was nice and clean. The house is very central and it takes just about 15 minutes to get to central London (with bus and underground). There are lots of restaurants and stores. But the WLAN didn't work. We've told the owner about this and he has promised to send someone into the house to fix it but it nobody came until our departure. Also the wall in the house is very thin and you can hear every word that the people in the room above you say. Toilets and kitchen are okay. The room is definitely okay for a short city trip and we can recommend it.
Everything was perfect. We could leave our bags early. We had trouble finding the house but a nice guy helped us out.
We stayed here for three nights. It's really close to the centre of London, which makes traveling easy. The tube is only a couple of minutes away. The room itself was perfectly fine for two people. Everything in the house is nice and clean and we really enjoyed our stay here. The house can be a bit noisy, so if you're a light sleeper don't forget to bring your earplugs with you.

The All Whites have secured a home match in October for what will be their first outing since the World Cup, New Zealand Football said today.
They will face Paraguay, one of their opponents at the tournament in South Africa, on October 12 at a venue to be confirmed.
Coach Ricki Herbert had said on his return last month from the World Cup that it was important for the All Whites to play at home this year to build on what they achieved in South Africa.
New Zealand came away as the only unbeaten team in the 32-nation event, after three draws, including a notable 1-1 result against defending champions and four-time cup winners Italy.
Paraguay were their last pool opponents and the match ended 0-0.
The South Americans qualified for the knockout stages, getting as far as the last eight, where they were beaten by eventual champions Spain.
NZF chief executive Michael Glading said getting the friendly against the World Cup quarterfinalists, now ranked No 16 in the world, so soon after the tournament was "a real coup".
"Bringing a top-20 team has not always been viable in the past but football's stock is rising and this match is a chance to keep that World Cup momentum going and for fans to see all their World Cup heroes back at home again."

Thank You Mom: Olympic Campaign Launches To Honour Mothers (VIDEO)
There is no shortage of heartstring-tugging ads involving mothers and children -- but add in a dose of achievements, failures and the worldwide spectacle of the Olympics, and there's no telling how many tears it might evoke.
The Thank You Mom campaign, recently launched by Procter & Gamble, puts a decided focus on the hard-working mothers whose children's athletics turn into a full-time job. Between the early morning wake-ups, the drying of disappointed tears and the literal holding up of their children's heads, the actors and athletes featured showcase the quiet support system behind every Olympic accomplishment.
P&G aren't the only ones paying attention to parents of athletes this year. As part of the Olympic relay for 2012, parents of athletes Derek Redmond and Chris Mears will be carrying torches to honour their dedication to their kids after they'd injured themselves during Olympic events in 1992 and 2009 respectively.
Depending on the sport, training to be an Olympian can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $30,000 per year, according to Forbes -- and that price tag doesn't include the often more valuable time spent taking kids to and from practices and watching competitions.
"I am very proud to be part of this campaign as I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without the unconditional support of my mom and family," said Olympian and world class marathoner, Paula Radcliffe. "Thank you, mom!"
SEE: Inspirational quotations about moms:
"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother."
"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."
"But the mother's yearning, that completest type of the life in another life which is the essence of real human love, feels the presence of the cherished child even in the debased, degraded man."
"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."
"There's a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there's a hell a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect."
"We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves."
"I knew what I had to have before my soul would rest. I wanted to belong -- to belong to my mother. And in return -- I wanted my mother to belong to me."
"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness."
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born."
"The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best."

Too little too late for the Blue Jackets. I mean "too little too late" in reference to the season, but I'm starting to wonder if it is starting to become true with the Blue Jackets franchise in general.
Arniel Get's the Ax
- Updated: January 9, 2012
I am sure most of you CBJ fans have heard by now that Scott Arniel has been "relieved" of his duties with the CBJ. And if you havn't heard, where the hell have you been all morning!
Here is what I am seeing from the fan base on the subject. You can basically divide the fans into 3 groups:
Group #1 feels that giving Arniel the ax accomplishes nothing, as this teams issues are deeper than coaching. Majority of this group want Howson, and the players themselves held accountable.
Group #2 appreciates the fact that changes are finally being made. Although late in the season, it is pleasant to see at least something is being done.
Group #3 consists of the fans that are already gone. These people have already given up on the team and will only care again when the team starts winning. To sum it up, the bandwagon fans.
Myself, I fall in the middle between group #1 and #2. While firing Arniel most likely won't solve the issue, it is a step in the right direction. No, the roster problems are not his fault, and yes some sort of major revamp is needed. But ultimately the team isn't winning, and that falls on Arniel's shoulders. A new coach may not be a fix all, but ultimately it is the coach's responsibility to build a winning team with what he is given.
I honestly expected this move much earlier in the season, and at the time I expected Howson to go to. But seeing as how they waited so long to relieve Arniel, I really have no prediction as to what the future lies. As crazy as this club is, they may decide to keep Howson in hopes that ANOTHER coaching change will fix things.
Long story short, this club is a disaster and needs fixed… By ANY means necessary.

Sunday night was a special night for at least half of the duo of David Byrne and St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, who appeared at SMUs McFarlin Auditorium. Clark, now based in NYC, is from Dallas (Lake Highlands High represent!) so the show was a homecoming of sorts. She took time to thank family as well as Dallas, Fort Worth, Flower Mound, and Garland. Though it was Byrne who slyly stuck in Plano at the end.
It was that kind of evening, one showing off a gratifying, playful give-and-take between a new-wave old soul (Byrne) who plowed new ground as the leader of Talking Heads all those years ago and one of the more critically lauded new faces on the scene (Clark). Their album together, Love This Giant, is a wonderful, horn-saturated confection of Byrnes neo-tropicalism and Clarks angular, twisting sense of pop.
The blend made for a pleasing pairing as they veered between songs he sings and those she handles, much like the album. The difference here though was that the songs -- especially Weekend in the Dust and the celebratory The One Who Broke Your Heart , came alive onstage, betraying a brassy funk missing from the recorded versions.
Backed by a 10-piece band (eight of which were devoted to various horns including sousaphone), Byrne and Clark ran through most of the new disc as well as some of their more popular other works, like Cruel for Clark and Road to Nowhere and Burning Down the House for Byrne.
What was unusual wasnt just the dominance of horns but the way the players were used almost as architecture or sculpture. With everyone dressed in blacks and whites set against a stark, nearly empty stage with just a white backdrop, their positioning and shadows -- on their backs for one number, marching as if in a New Orleans parade for another, or facing off against each other like some West Side Story duel in yet another -- made for cool visual accompaniment and stagecraft.
Though, certainly, it was Byrne (still the master of his peculiar, stiff-limbed dancing) and Clark (whos a monster guitarist though youd never know it from listening to her discs as the guitar is downplayed) who commanded the bulk of the attention. By the end of the set, with a standing ovation and a four-year-old girl (part of Clarks family) onstage, it was clear that Byrne and Clark make a very remarkable brand of music together.
So it wasn't just Clark who had reason to be happy. It ended up being a special night for the audience as well.
Here's their take on Burning Down the House, from earlier in the tour in Minneapolis:

so when I got my car, there was idle water under my spare tire, I stripped my trunk, wet vac'd it, went in with papertowels, and then 409d (to get rid of any beginnings of mold)
then I went looking for the source, I found one of my tail lights gaskets was folded in.. and was soaked, so I fixed the gasket and thought I had solved the problem. (that was thursday morning)
thursday afternoon it rained

I get my car back and go home, I open the trunk (plan is to build a costum spare tire sub box) and my spare tire well has water in it again. where is it coming from. I dont have a sun roof, so I know thats not the problem, back of the tail light is dry, so that problem is solved... any help would be great...

WAILUKU >> A 64-foot catamaran that grounded on Maui has been removed.
The Maui News reports the Pacific Whale Foundation's multi-hulled Ocean Odyssey was pulled Wednesday from shoreline rocks near McGregor Point by a salvage vessel used buoyant tow ropes.
The Ocean Odyssey left Maalaea Harbor around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday with four crew members. The passenger vessel was on its way to Honolulu for maintenance.
Coast Guard Lt. Eric Stahl says the vessel struck a rock on and washed onto shore with a 3-foot gash to its port hull beneath its waterline.
Stahl says the boat was operating unusually close to shore when it hit the rock, especially for so early in the morning.
The boat was towed back to Maalaea Harbor and inspected by the Coast Guard.
