Junior athletes shine at state boccia titles
Paralympic bronze medal cyclist inspires them to strive for Rio 2016
The future of Australian boccia on the world stage is in safe hands if results of the recent NSW State Titles are any indication.
Junior athletes dominated the three-day event at the Sydney Academy of Sport in Narrabeen, inspired by Paralympic bronze medal cyclist Alex Green who was on hand to present the medals.
With a world-title already under her belt, Alex witnessed tough competition from the 44 boccia athletes from throughout NSW and interstate who were contesting five classifications.
Boccia is a sport played by people with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy. It can be played from recreational to Paralympic level.
'It was a great display from all our boccia athletes with some finals going down the wire', said Peter King who manages the boccia program with Cerebral Palsy Alliance. 'It was fantastic to see our younger athletes toughly contesting many of the finals, with some even coming away with gold medals.
'Like Paralympic bronze medal cyclist Alex Green, who is also Cerebral Palsy Alliance's youngest board member, many of our young athletes now have their sights firmly set on the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.'
Northern beaches teenager Aaryan Shah convincingly beat fellow northern beaches resident and boccia veteran Scott Elsworth to claim gold in the BC2 classification.
Barry Fear, also from the northern beaches, won gold in the BC1 classification defeating Illawarra teenager Mecenzi Howard, whilst up and coming junior Joanne Vaz from south western Sydney claimed bronze.
In the BC3 classification it was another all-northern beaches final with Forestville teenager Spencer Cotie taking silver after going down to Terry Cooper who took gold. Newcastle's Wendy Evans took out the bronze medal.
The BC4/Open classification was once again won by the Central Coast's Dean Nottle, who narrowly defeated Newcastle's James Nutt, whilst Adam Alcorn from Newcastle took out bronze.
The State Titles were the final selection event for the NSW team to contest the 2014 Boccia Australia Nationals which will be held 1th – 15th May at the Sydney Academy of Sport, Narrabeen.

China has a long history of internal and international migration and has a significant number of diasporas around the globe. From being predominately a country of emmigration, China has now witnessed growing rates of return migration, due to its rising economic status in the world. This article seeks to provide a historical review of international migration from China in different periods, from ancient China to after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It also examines the recent trends of new waves of Chinese migration such as student migration to Europe and touches on issues of government policy and the role of overseas diasporas in the course of Chinese history. By analysing a wide range of data, including published statistics and published papers, this paper illustrates the evolution of changing patterns of international migration from China and its impact for China on the rest of the world.

Over the last few years, my family has accumulated a lot of camping and backpacking gear. There's a combination of car camping gear, backpacking gear, and things that are used for both. Sometimes outings are just 2 of us, and sometimes it's a family of four. Every time we pack, I end up pulling almost everything out of our gear closet to figure out what we need. My boys tease that it looks like REI exploded in the room.
With my oldest about to start boy scouts, I think things are going to get worst instead.
Any ideas on how to organize and store gear?Jan 12, 2012 at 2:39 pm #1823920

Yeah, that's a problem here, too. I have car camping gear stored in the garage, an entire closet in the basement full of backpacking gear, another closet in the guest room full of backpacking gear, all the kayaking gear stuffed behind the couch in the basement (including two touring kayaks!), not to mention each member of the family has some of his or her hiking clothing in their own closet.
I ended up storing gear sorted by type and use. So the basement closet has packs, cooking gear, and other hard goods. The upstairs closet has sleeping bags and backpacking-specific clothing (i.e., things we don't wear in town.) Each person has two Rubbermaid tubs with clothes and personal gear in that closet.
When it's time to pack for a hike, I can go to each closet and get out exactly what I need from each bin. So I grab out one or two or three packs from the closet, reach in the box of cooking gear and take out the stove and pot that I want, grab the appropriate water treatment and containers from their box, etc. Same thing in the upstairs closet – take out the right sleeping bag, then each person gets the clothing they need from their containers or their own closets. I usually sort gear on the bed in the guest room – each person gets a small pile defined by their sleeping pad, and all the gear is laid out on the pad for organizing and packing.
What makes all of this work for me is having a good packing list. I have a standard list for solo hiking and for hikes with my wife and family. I'll start with that list, tweak it for a specific trip, print it out, and start grabbing the gear. Packing for a weekend trip doesn't take more than an hour or two if I've spent some time tweaking the list.
Now, car camping is a whole different story. That's when our garage looks like a bomb exploded in an REI Scratch and Dent sale. Not pretty.
Good luck.Jan 13, 2012 at 8:35 am #1824224

I keep everything in one area, as compact as possible. I use rubbermaid tubs or appropriately sized boxes.
I sort items by category. I have separate containers for: outerwear, bottoms, top basewear, top midlayers, stoves and kitchen gear, camp tools, shelter, packs/sacks, and bags/quilts. No, I do not hang my bags. They are piled loosely in an oversize tupperware and aren't compressed. It's much more convenient to have them in a container that can be easily moved and stacked. I also have small containers for misc small accessories like biners, for first aid and field repair kits, and for at home repair/diy stuff like seam sealer and cordage. My hygeine stuff is combined with my normal travel kit b/c items overlap. I grab what I need from there instead of keeping a separate hiking kit. My hats and gloves likewise stay with the normal winter accessories.
I'm still working this out and intend to greatly pare down my gear once I have a satisfactory setup, after which I should be able to (hopefully) keep a "to-go" box and a "less-used/special use" box.
I think about this too much.Jan 13, 2012 at 8:44 am #1824227

I store all my gear in one rubbermaid roughneck plastic storage box that stack for easy storage that is my Bug out gear box. I store my pack, sleeping quilt, ridgerest in the closet and with Bug out gear box. So if their is ever a fire or emergency I just grab the box,pack,quilt,ridgerest and I am out the door. I can pack the pack after the emergency.
If you get a big enough rubbermaid box you could store everything in the box and just grab it .
You could also assign one box for each family member and they they just grab their box.
Plus storage wise you have bug,water,rodent proof boxes that stack in one corner of the room and your garage.

As with others, I am a big fan of rubbermaid (or similar) boxes. I place them on shelves.
My climbing gear is all together, my ski gear is all together, same with car camping gear, backpacking gear, and so on. Plus, my pack of choice for the season is more-or-less always pre-packed.
So plastic shelves and plastic totes organized and pre-packed = much goodness.
Here's an example. All my car camping gear (except for clothing, sleeping bags and pads) is one tote:
I can be packed and ready for a trip in a half hour or less (well, depends if Adrianna goes or not…then it takes longer. Much longer. :D)Jan 13, 2012 at 1:24 pm #1824368
Rebecca CanodeSpectator
Thanks for the ideas. I thought I had everything down to a pretty simple system when we just did car camping. I have a big tub in the garage that keeps most of the cooking and misc gear and then sleeping bags and tents were kept in a closet. When we came home from camping, I would wash our clothes and re-pack our bags so that we would be ready for next time. I also had a food box packed with staples that was restocked after each trip.
Now we have 7 tents, 8 sleeping bags, 8 packs, 8 sleeping pads plus a lot of other gear. It's a lot harder to pull things out.Jan 13, 2012 at 1:32 pm #1824374

Last weekend I was at Point Reyes and as I was approaching the campground I saw a guy a little bit ahead of me wheeling in a cooler (closest trailhead is less than 2 miles away). As I got closer I realized it was not a cooler, but a rubbermaid box with "Camping" written on the side. I guess that's one way to do it.Jan 13, 2012 at 6:14 pm #1824484

How do you store/organize your gear?
I would have to say poorly. :) I do use the storage tubs but have not figured out an efficient way to do so. There's too much overlap. A number of things that go backpacking also go on day hikes or winter trips while other items are very trip specific. If I was rich, I'd just have duplicates of the things that go on multiple types of trips. Instead I separate them the best I can and use lists to make sure I get everything I need for each outing.Jan 13, 2012 at 7:10 pm #1824506

Does anyone store all their gear in an unheated space like a garage? My house is tiny and I am thinking of building a small workshop/gear storage building. I am mostly concerned about sleeping bags,tents/tarps, pads, skis, and maybe packs everything else should be fine. Is there worry of any kind of moisture build up that could cause mildew or rust due to the space being unheated? I would definately insulate it and make it tight as possible, I have been tossing ideas around about built in storage. I am also concerned about rodents. Does anyone see a downside to keeping sleeping bags uncompressed in rubbermaids? I am probably overthinking it and may be a bit paranoid but I would not want to have to replace a three hundred dollar sleeping bag or get rust on the edges of nice skis.Jan 13, 2012 at 7:19 pm #1824509

"Does anyone store all their gear in an unheated space like a garage?"
I store stoves, fuel, skis, some tents, and a few other items in my unheated garage. I store sleeping bags, backpacks, and some tents in an unheated storage room. All of the sleeping bags are uncompressed, although I don't bother to put them inside any containers.
One of the good things about storage in the garage is that the waste heat from my auto seems to dry out anything stored there. In thirty years, I have never seen any rust on ski edges.

Hope someone posts a great solution. Think the winner will be someone with minimal collection of gear serving the greatest variety of circumstances.
That would be the ultimate solution — simplicity.
The biggest items (i.e., greatest volume when stored) present (quite naturally) a huge storage issue == especially if there's a concern about moisture.
That means sleeping bags/quilts and insulated jackets/parkas/vests/pants get stored in big cotton sacks stacked in a basement room.
Rest of backpacking gear splits up by category into rubbermaid boxes w/lids (or into baskets and drawer units for smaller items) stored on basement shelves (packs, tents, bivies, tarps, groundcloths, stuff sacks, pots, cups, utensils, stoves, lights, tarp/tent poles, stakes, guylines, first aid kits, hydration gear, etc).
Sleeping pads get stored in large duffels or on top of basement shelf units.
Long items (hiking poles, ice axes, skis and ski poles) fit into corners.
Non-insulated clothing items (jackets, wind shirts, pants, shirts) either get hung on clothes rack or (especially the wool items) folded into rubbermaid boxes placed on shelves.
Bulky non-backpacking gear (canoe, kayaks, paddles, life jackets, fishing gear, car-camping stuff (cots, shelters, kitchen/tables) goes into garage (not heated, but rarely below freezing).
Definitely do not look forward to ever taking a long-distance road trip that would include canoing, kayaking, skiing, car-camping, fishing, and backpacking!Jan 13, 2012 at 10:06 pm #1824557

@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
I got a bunch of standard sized boxes at an office-supply store, printed up labels on the computer and taped them on. I should group them more thematically: outdoors stuff, house & yard, auto, etc because I started grouping big boxes with big, medium with medium, and the beer boxes together. Two walls are like this, but longer:
For the repurposed beer boxes I was able to slip in two shelves above the water heater and chest freezer but below the stitch-and-glue wooden triple kayak:Jan 13, 2012 at 10:13 pm #1824559

Richard: We had friends show up, literally equipped like this:
kayaks, mountain bikes and skis were mounted on top of their Subaru. Backpacking, fishing, etc stuff was inside. Really it was a pick-up truck loadfull. But hanging off of a Subaru. Which they drove 2,650 miles from Seattle to Kenai, Alaska.
One trick (they didn't do) is to realize that you can rent the big stuff on location. Another trick (they also didn't do) is just borrow our stuff – we've got 3 or 4 of everything.Jan 14, 2012 at 7:12 am #1824608

An entire bay of the garage … four season stuff for the whole family.

Most of my gear is stored in my garage. The exceptions are sleepingbags, pads and (now) water filters. The first winter I stored gear in the garage I forgot and left my water filter in a box in the garage. There was a large crack in the ceramic filter in the spring. Now, anything that freezing might damage is in the house even though we don't have much room.Jan 14, 2012 at 6:11 pm #1824813

Holy frack guys, seems like most of you take days/hours to pack as nothing is in your pack to start with. Its not like the item list changes unless switching between mountaineering and backpacking. It shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes to pack.
Keep everything in the pack sans sleeping bag and insulated jacket. Keep the clothes 2nd set in! Put on what you are going to wear before entering the car. Grab a 2nd set of clothes for car along with pop to put in a local creek for the drive home. Day of hike, throw in sleeping bag/food check fuel level by weight is how I do it, in the car and off ya go. At trailhead stuff BBag usually in bottom of pack and place food exactly where you want it along with water. Otherwise it takes forever looking through boxes of trash you don't use anymore and putting it in the pack. The pack list rarely if ever changes. I suppose if in a giant group one brings a larger cooking pot otherwise…
Things that NEVER change:
TP! except for those super hardy souls who use rocks(actually snow works pretty darned well)
Cooking Gear
Water Purification
2nd set of clothes
Compass/altimeter/Signal mirror/duct tape/1st Aid Kit
Sun screen
Lip/nose/ears zinc oxide paste
Water Bottles
Stuff Sacks
Ice axe
Emergency repel line
Emergency food
Prepackaged sugar water mix
Some of this one puts in after returning so always ready to go at a moments notice. Like when your friend calls you at 11 the night before and says, "Hey meet you at your place in 2 hours so we can drive 3 hours and go climb Snowfield Peak in the middle of winter tomorrow in an epic 1 day push and you stupidly(not that I would ever do this of course! Oh my no!) say yes to +8000 feet vertical and approx 18 miles of climbing/snowshoeing. Of course what I really wanted was sleep, but I know that I am already packed so, I got 2 hours of sleep, my friend got none and was still a half hour late picking me up…
In my other mountaineering pack I keep Iceaxes/Ice screws/Crevasse prussics/harness/shoes/helmet/rope/pro/tat/crampons. Strapped on its side I keep winter mountaineering tent and bottom Closed Cell foam sleeping pads for snow. The half length closed cell foamie keep on the summer backpack. Snowshoes are separate though.
In CAR, Put Black "trash" garbage bags to stuff junk you take out of pack and don't haul. Trailhead thieves less likely to smash into your car to steal "trash bags" than a nice looking container that is usually plastic and LABELED telling said thief exactly what he gets to place on craigslist tomorrow. My car at said trailhead won't have its window smashed in while others will be. Happened to me twice so far and been grateful both times I used black "trash" bags to hide my climbing gear I didn't take.Jan 16, 2012 at 1:37 am #1825224

Thanks to laura3341 for the heads up.
NBC has greenlit its first pilot for the next season, giving the go-ahead to a soapy thriller from Jerry Bruckheimer.
Based on Josie Brown's book The Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives, Bruckheimer will executive produce the project under his deal with Warner Bros. Television. Sascha Penn will adapt the material and exec produce alongside Bruckheimer Television's Jonathan Littman; KristieAnne Reed will co-exec produce. The project was originally in development at ABC.
Secret Lives is described as equal parts thriller and dramatic soap that is centered on a murder and the secrets exposed in its aftermath. The project comes after Bruckheimer's drama pilot Trooper, starring Mira Sorvino, was passed over this pilot season at CBS.

EVERY year the State of Qatar celebrates the occasion of its National Day, which in 2014 holds special significance for all Qatari citizens, as it witnessed remarkable achievements, progress and prosperity in various spheres of life under the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, carrying on the vision His Highness, the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
On the happy occasion of Qatar's national day, Saleh Mohammed Al Nesef, Ambassador of the State of Qatar to Brunei Darussalam, stated that Qatar is emerging and reaching new frontiers and rising to global prominence as oil and gas power, sports capital, business and real estate development hub, and a research centre.
Thanks to the Emir of Qatar's wise leadership, strong determination and ability to mobilise the resources of the nation, in addition to his deep belief in the great capabilities of the Qatari citizen.
Saleh Al Nesef pointed out that Qatar is shining, with several corporations helping to diversify the national economy, as Qatari and regional companies are expanding the market, contributing valuable services and reshaping the country's skylines, while economic diversification strategies emphasise the use of Qatar's vast natural gas reserves to attract further investment in non-energy sectors.
"Qatar's diversification efforts, coupled with a buoyant oil sector, continue to underpin rapid economic growth in addition to the emergence of Qatar as one of the richest countries in the world as its GDP per capita, already the highest in the world, is expected to double from 2014 to 2025, largely due to low costs of gas production and its hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup," the ambassador added.
Meanwhile, the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) is the home to various international companies conducting cutting-edge research and development.
The Qatari Ambassador illustrated the fact that as Qatar is an energy powerhouse experiencing tremendous economic growth; much of what goes on at the QSTP is related to environmental sustainability in an effort to prevent the negative effects of urban and energy development.
Furthermore, it is evident that Qatar supports the application of knowledge as a key source of long-term economic growth by dedicating 2.5 per cent of national GDP to Research & Development projects.
Moreover, the ambassador pointed out that while growth in Qatar is seemingly boundless, the government is careful to ensure that progress in both industry and business are in line with Qatar's National Vision (QNV) 2030, which emphasises modernisation while preserving tradition.
The QNV 2030 focuses on the four pillars of human, social, economic and environmental development and aims to create "an advanced society capable of sustaining its development and providing a high standard of living for its entire people".
Conversely, Qatar's expansion of information and communication technologies (ICT) has created an exceptionally well-developed communications infrastructure under the guidance of the Supreme Council for Communication and Information Technology (ictQATAR).
The Qatari Ambassador highlighted that Qatar is regarded as the foremost education investment market in the Middle East region.
With more than 60,000 students, approximately 47 per cent of whom are enrolled in primary education and nine per cent enrolled for undergraduate and postgraduate level education, the Qatari government's educational policy focuses on increasing the quality of education provided to students.
Looking back on the past six years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Qatar and Brunei in 2008, the ambassador said, "I am pleased to see that with our join efforts, Qatar-Brunei Comprehensive Partnership of Cooperation featuring ever-lasting friendship has achieved significant progress."
This process was in no small measures assisted by the state visit paid by His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Emir of Qatar – then to Brunei Darussalam on January 2012 – during which the two sides reached broad consensus on strengthening bilateral exchanges and cooperation in different fields.
The two governments issued a joint statement and made comprehensive planning for our bilateral relations, which has promoted Qatar-Brunei relations to a new stage of comprehensive and rapid development, explained the ambassador.
Furthermore, over the past years the two nations have concluded numerous cooperative agreements and memorandums of understandings (MOUs) which strengthened closer cooperation in different fields.
The two countries have also been exchanging visits at the Ministerial Level with the aim of broadening the dimensions of the existent outstanding bilateral relations.
"We hope that the friendship and cooperation between Qatar and Brunei will develop from strength to strength," said the ambassador. He added, "we are confident with the wise leaderships of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar and His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, the bonds of collaboration between Qatar and Brunei will be further strengthened in the years ahead."

Hermione would never tell anyone this, but she was jealous of Harry and the Weasleys. Why? Simply put, because Mrs. Weasley made them sweaters.
When the boys wore theirs during the cold months when they were searching for horcruxes, she nearly started sobbing every time she saw one. Mrs. Weasley loved them enough to take the time to knit a sweater with their first initial on it, and her parents were off in Australia, having forgotten she existed.
Logically, she understood that the Weasleys were the closest thing to a family Harry had ever known, while she had 2 loving parents, but she never got anything so heartfelt as a handmade gift. If she wanted something for Christmas, she'd tell her parents what it was, and they'd get it for her. They loved her, of course, but their understanding of her need to keep the Wizarding world a secret had caused a rift between them, they were distant, and at times appeared uncaring. For quite a few years, now, she had asked her parents for a knit jumper with a large 'H' on it, but they were never able to find one.
Sometimes it was hard to force out a 'Happy Christmas' when Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, even Percy were sitting around the Gryffindor common room in their sweaters.
She was old enough and mature enough now to honestly wish everyone a happy Christmas. She now shed tears, not for herself, but for Molly, who still made matching 'F' and 'G' sweaters for George, the one lumpy package left under the tree that George and Angelina took home unopened.
Ron had convinced her to send out their engagement announcements as Howlers, and in a few days the owls came pouring in. Harry, Ginny, Fred, and all their friends found it amusing. Unfortunately, Andromeda was miffed that it had woken Teddy from his nap, but she congratulated them all the same. Molly and Arthur were so excited they apparated over, Molly giving Hermione a big hug. Ron's ears turned red in embarrassment as Arthur clapped him on the back.
That Christmas, Hermione's smile made her cheeks ache as Mrs. Weasley passed her a familiar lumpy package. Her fingers shook as she pulled the purple sweater over her small baby bump. Her tears spilled over when she looked up to all the Weasleys smiling back at her. Ron laughed and hugged her, followed by Harry, Ginny, Molly, George, and Arthur.
"Happy Christmas, 'Mione." Ron whispered in her ear. "You're part of the family, now, and we wanted you to feel like you belonged." She saw a twinkle dancing in his bright blue eyes, and knew that he had seen past how the only sweater she ever borrowed from him was maroon with a large 'R' on the front.
"Happy Christmas, Ron."

Norida~ Missions & MotivesMature
"Are you sure about this?" I could hear them talking from a distance away. "We can't be sure of either of their trust or motives. What if the girl's a spy? What shall we do then?" They were talking about me, and I knew it. It was my first actual day at the camp, where they had unwillingly let me stay here. That was understandable, as they were the Night Hawks. Hence, they could trust no outsiders. I suppose it didn't help their logic with my eagerness of joining their group. It couldn't be helped though, as I was so longing to belong somewhere again. The solitude of my previous living stature had taken a toll on my social skills.
"I suppose it's a risk we're obliged to take," the other voice said. I was still too unfamiliar with these people to tell who was talking, but I could hear the defiance in the second woman's voice. "Besides, she's only a mere child. Surely she couldn't have wandered here by her lonesome with motivations of turning us in. The Sheriff doesn't even have the smarts of our location."
The lady that had started the conversation scoffed. "We'll just see how far your blind optimism takes us. It's unsettling to see just how overly trustworthy you are, Kate."
"I'm not being 'overly trustworthy' or 'blindly optimistic', Jem. I just believe we're much too close to the enemy now to be picky with the members of our pack. They both seem harmless enough to me, anyway." So it was Jem and Kate speaking. I etched their voices into my memory in case it was ever needed for recollection. Knowing she had lost the battle, Jem made a frustrated sound and walked away. Lost the battle, not the war, I reminded myself. They could very easily decide I was a liability and dispose of me without a second thought. Quietly and stealthily, I leaped down from my perch in a tall tree, landing with a barely audible thud. Changing into my human form, I got into the clothes that Kiara had given me and walked back to the "mess hall" of the camp, where a few ladies were fixing lunch. The sun was a little past the middle of the sky, leaning ever-so slightly in the western direction. Nonchalantly, I crept past Jem, who was busy in a new conversation now. I went over to sit next to a girl who looked only a bit older than me. There was a bandage on her shoulder.
Pointing to the injury, I asked, "How'd you get that? It looks painful."
"Oh, this? It happened on the last raid we went to," said the girl, putting her hand on the wounded shoulder. "I was stricken by an arrow, but that kind man over there pulled it out for me." She gestured to the man who introduced himself to me as Griever, the newest annex to this band of soldiers besides myself.
I nodded. "Aye, he does seem like a gentleman." As the girl chattered on about other things, my mind began to wander. Griever did seem like a nice man. How could they still doubt him? Also, in other dialogues I've heard (it is not eavesdropping), it sounds like he knows a thing or two about the new Marshall. He could be valuable to the Night Hawks, so why do they continue to defy him a permanent place here? Then again, I understood their motivation to keep their distance. He could very well be a spy. But they also thought the same about me. For the moment, there was nothing either of us could do to change their minds. They would just keep going in circles with each other until we both became useful enough to be a part of the loop.
The first half of the afternoon went by without conflict. There was one woman who kept looking at me with suspicious glances, but I ignored it for the most part. More than anything, I simply tried to stay out of people's way and help as much as I could. Just before the sun was beginning to set, Griever found me sitting on a log, cleaning my sword.
Sitting down next to me with a grunt, he made a polite gesture and said, "Hello Norida." I made an acknowledging nod in response.
"If it's not any trouble to you, may we continue our talk from last night? I've caught myself curious about how someone young as you could survive alone out here. How aged are you, anyhow?"
Without looking up from my blade, I replied, "Fourteen."
He made an impressed sound. "And how long have you lived in these woods?"
"I've just about lost count of the seasons, but I presume about three or four years." I paused my cleaning to tuck my long, malnourished hair behind my ears to keep it out of my face. Routinely, my hair would be healthy and shiny from the organic soap I created, but I hadn't used it in a while.
My eyes clearer with hair no longer an issue, I looked up at the kind man. His eyes were wide. "You've been hiding around here for that long??" I closed my eyes and nodded. "Well. . . that's. . . news to me. I didn't expect an answer as such."
"I know," I said quietly, "no one ever expects it. Not like they should in a world like this."
"And you have no parents, I assume?"
Looking down again, I replied in the same small, cold voice, "That's right."
He left me alone after that. I suppose he had to take some time to think it through. He obviously hadn't been prepared from such a reply from such a young girl. Well, he wouldn't be the first one to underestimate me.
Griever sat a few paces away from me again during dinner, but didn't speak a word, let alone ask any questions. And, to be honest, I was grateful. I had enough on my mind today to answer any other probing inquiries. Drawn to exhaustion from the last two days, I could hardly stand much more. And so, I was glad when he decided to leave me be. That evening, I was only haunted by a dream of my parents' deaths. Certainly not the worst I've been hit with from my own mind.
The next morning, we had a feast of a breakfast, compared to our usual rations. It was apparent that Jem and her troup had just done a raid the night before. People ate until they were at the brink of over-stuffing themselves. I, however, only ate a small portion, as I wasn't really hungry, although I had to think twice about getting seconds because the food was so good.
After the delicious meal, I made myself scarce and took a hike up to the familiar stream near my old hut.
Finding the small creek without difficulty, I decided to bathe in my feline form. It felt good, as I hadn't taken a bath like that in quite a while. My hygiene nowadays had been kept up solely on necessity. It had felt like forever since I soaked for leisure reasons. As I sat there, I thought about something that Kiara had told me when I got up this morning. She had told me that it wasn't long before I was called onto a mission. I had to admit, that peaked my curiosity a bit. I wondered about it as I dried myself off and got dressed again. Afterwards, I made the decision to venture a bit further.
I was still thinking about my potential mission when an odd smell came across me. Stopped in my tracks by the death-and-decay kind of smell, I looked around. It was only then that I became aware of my surroundings. There were a bunch of deer, about five or six -- dead, all of them -- and one little girl, who was skinning one of the deer.
"Now, now Regina, this will only hurt a little bit," said the girl in a chirpy voice. She was talking to the deer. The dead deer. Named Regina.
Caught completely and entirely off guard, I could not even attempt to hold in the blood-curdling scream that came from the bottom of my throat and the very core of my being.

It might be one of the last video games to trickle out of the gate in 2009, but Konami's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is one of the best Nintendo Wii titles of the year — if you're into scary stories, that is.
This Mature-rated thriller, which is also available on the Sony PlayStation 2 and Sony PlayStation Portable, might be considered a new spin on the original, decade-old Silent Hill game. You play as Harry Mason, who wakes up after a car accident outside of the spooky town of Silent Hill, only to find his 7-year-old daughter Cheryl is missing. In order to find her, you'll wander the snow-covered streets and through diners, warehouses, hotels and malls — while also unraveling a chilling secret about the town and how fate brought you back "home."
Compared to other "survival horror" games including the Resident Evil series, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is unique in that you never wield any weapons to fight back against the hordes of bizarre creatures you'll come across, such as the gyrating fleshless bodies that look like they're swathed in plastic wrap. Instead, you'll perform defensive maneuvers if they grab you by following the onscreen instructions — such as waving the Nintendo Wii remote and connected nunchuk controller in a specific direction — or you could always run if you can see an escape route.
Not having any weapons to protect yourself from these demons adds tension to the game, as does the fact that your flashlight, controlled by your wireless Wii remote, only beams a small circle of illumination in an otherwise dark and dangerous world. You'll know you're getting closer to an area with bad guys when the static noise gets louder and louder, emitting out of the Wii remote's speaker.
As you play from a cinematic third-person perspective, much of your time in Shattered Memories will be exploring the many icy environments for clues, solving puzzles (such as finding a key that can be used to unlock a door) and using your cellphone as a critical tool. With the latter, pressing the "-" button on the Wii remote opens your phone's menu screen to access the overhead map (and you can set markers down in areas you need to visit), pick up voicemail messages and e-mail, and take photos with the camera, which will help you see things in Silent Hill not visible to the naked eye. Many puzzles also require you to use the Wii's motion-sensing controls in a realistic way, such as grabbing tin cans and turning them over to shake out the contents or opening drawers by grasping the knob and sliding them open to see what's inside.
Shattered Memories works on a number of levels, including the story, pacing, combat, controls and high production values (complimenting the impressive graphics is an atmospheric soundtrack by acclaimed Silent Hill series composer Akira Yamaoka). Interestingly, the game also plays out differently depending on the psychological profile you fill out at the start of the story when Harry is in a therapist's office. Therefore, who or what you encounter in each location — such as a clothing store, bar or amusement park — might vary depending on how you answered the questions. Or if you decide to call a phone number listed on a billboard advertisement, the recorded message heard might be different for different players.
The game, however, is on the short side (averaging about six or seven hours), which means you could tackle it in a weekend, and it only has one mode to indulge in which limits its replayability. But it's the quality rather than quantity of this interactive experience that makes Silent Hill: Shattered Memories a great pick for fans of the series or horror films.

Accept Your Problems, Face Your Fears
"Instead of hiding from your fears, I think it's time to face them head on." Ellie declared the following afternoon after her normal speech as Macy glared at her, already annoyed.
"I have faced them head on. I've told you, haven't I?"
"Yes but you've managed to keep names out of everything. I worry not addressing these people as real people will only make things worse. Like you're separating yourself from your own story." Macy bit her lip, not answering. Enough time passed for her to say something, which she didn't and finally Ellie continued. "For instance, you've never even told me who the boy who waits for you is."
"That's easy. That's my boyfriend, Raine."
"Right well, let's get past the easy and skip to the hard. Who is the boy who—"
But Macy cut her off. "Don't. Don't say it."
Ellie put up her hands as if proving a point. "Not allowing me to say the word about what has happened makes it very clear you haven't accepted it yet."
"But I have," Macy argued, although Ellie kept talking as if she hadn't heard her.
"You're got to accept your problem before you can get over. So, what's his name?"
Macy's teeth clenched. "His name is Dalton."
And Ellie nodded. "Right. Well would you like to be done for the day?" But Macy shook her head, claiming she was fine—a big mistake. Ellie smiled encouragingly, "Alright, maybe we should go over your progress. You've explained what happened, and you've told me his name … but then again … you haven't told me yet how all this has made you feel."
There was a long pause as they stared each other down. She was pushing it. Macy wasn't willing to go that far. She simply pulled her knees up to her chest and continued to stare at Ellie, making it clear she wasn't answering.
"Macy, come on. Talk to me."
"Now I think we're done for the day. See you next week," she replied in her calmest voice before picking up her bag and walking toward the door.
"We'll have to talk about this eventually," Ellie called after her.
"Yeah well, not today." Her composure broke as she opened the door and couldn't help but slam it behind her.
Raine got up quickly. "What's wrong?"
But Macy just smiled at him. "Nothing, nothing."
"Are you sure?" She nodded and he gradually smiled back. "Well, do you wanna go to lunch?"
"Could you just take me home instead?"
His smile dimmed. "Sure." Minutes later they were weaving through the streets of town on his motorcycle. He reached her house within ten minutes and stopped his bike in the driveway. "Same time tomorrow?"
But Macy shook her head. "No, I'm skipping tomorrow. But we could hang out if you want to…"
Raine glanced at her for a moment, wondering if he should even ask why she randomly wanted to skip her session tomorrow but he didn't. Instead saying, "Sure, I'll come over around two." He kissed her lips sweetly before riding away.
Nightmares plagued Macy into the late hours of the night and early hours of the day. And she was angry. For over a month now, she had been doing so well. She was talking to Ellie, explaining her story. She was a very happy couple with Raine, her and Brandon were back to the power brother sister team and she was even speaking to her mother more.
But Ellie's question today had broken her. She had slyly avoided how all this made her feel, knowing she'd have to talk about it eventually but still not being ready. She tossed and turned all night, getting absolutely no sleep at all but instead tormenting herself with thoughts of everything that had happened. To explain how the Dalton thing had made her feel would mean knocking down every single wall of defense she had put up to protect not only herself but more so her heart and her pride. And she just knew she couldn't do that.
But she also knew she would have to.

Vitamin C for eyes
As we all know, Vitamin C is good for our health, including for the skin under the eyes. If you have the problem in that area, perhaps you can start to consider vitamin c for eye. For your information, Vitamin C is known as a strong antioxidant. When you have the idea to find the best way to fix the issues under the eyes, why don't you choose serum or another facial face product that consists Vitamin C? In the market, there are so many products that can help you get rid of the wrinkles and fine lines which really make you even older than your age.
However, it is important to do the little search before jumping into making the decision. You need to know whether or not the product contains Vitamin C will be good for your facial problem. Speak with the specialist to know what if you use the serum product. Do you want to have bright eyes?

Salisbury Depot
The Southern Railroad Depot in Salisbury, built in 1907, was designed by noted architect Frank Milburn and is considered an outstanding example of Spanish mission-style architecture. The building spans the length of two city blocks with a dark red brick base and tan brick body. A three and one-half story tower enhanced by projecting gargoyles is centrally featured, with a Spanish tile roof covering all.
Large canopies sheltered travelers from rain and the sun. The building also housed the offices of the stationmaster, the telegrapher, and other staff. At the time it was built, the station reflected the prevailing social attitudes, providing separate White and Colored entrances into the General Waiting Room. There was also a separation of the sexes; the women's rest room was called a Ladies Parlor and a Smoking Room was made available just for men.
No longer in use as a depot, the building was restored in 1993 and part of it is used for offices. In addition, the waiting room is rented out for wedding receptions and other special occasions. The building was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Bosch unveils innovation in sustainable water heating
Bosch Hot Water has unveiled an innovation in sustainable water heating for large homes and commercial projects, with the release of the 'Bosch 32C Commercial Condensing' system. Featuring 'condensing technology', the 6-star energy-rated Bosch 32C is the only one of its kind on the market and is the most energy-efficient continuous flow commercial water heater available.
Unlike traditional hot water systems, Bosch's new condensing technology captures waste heat from exhaust gas and uses it to preheat incoming cold water. The effect is an energy saving of up to 16%, compared to a standard continuous flow (instantaneous) system.
The condensing process delivers thermal efficiency of 94% and above, which translates to significant energy savings when compared to any other method of gas water heating. This peak operating efficiency is particularly notable when compared with traditional gas storage (tank) systems, which commonly deliver only 60% efficiency.
National Commercial Manager for Bosch, James Smith, said the cost advantages and environmental benefits of the technology had set a new benchmark for the industry.
"Choosing a condensing system is equivalent to taking one-and-a-half cars off the road for an entire year, saving tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and major dollars in terms of running costs*," he said.
He said the new Bosch 32C gave builders, architects, hydraulic consultants and plumbers the opportunity to meet and exceed the Australian Building Code Board's latest energy efficiency provisions, while reducing environmental impact and energy costs.
The Bosch 32C is designed for both domestic and commercial use, where there is demand for large volumes of hot water. As well as large (three or more bathroom) homes, it is ideally suited to locations such as apartment buildings, sporting venues, caravan parks, shower blocks, hotels, cafes and restaurants, commercial kitchens, wineries, dairy farms, office buildings, hospitals, shopping centres, abattoirs, factories, pool heating and mining operations.
It is the only true commercial unit on the market and the only continuous flow system able to be installed internally or externally. It can run up to 16 to 20 hours per day, producing a flow rate of 32 litres per minute with gas consumption of 217 MJ/hr.
The Bosch 32C can be installed as a single unit, manifolded or in combination with storage, and is compatible with solar hot water and warm water return systems.
Optional temperature controllers (up to three) can be fitted, offering fingertip water temperature control.
The unit is available in 37°C to 85°C temperature range (without temperature controllers), 37°C to 80°C temperature range (with temperature controllers), or 50°C locked.
The equivalent domestic condensing model, the 'Bosch 26eco+', with a 6.9-star energy rating, was recently named the GreenPlumbers 'Product of the Year' (2009), demonstrating the superior ecological benefits of the Bosch condensing range.

Law school teaches students to "think like lawyers," but what exactly does that mean? Presumably, it at least means learning to make and respond to arguments within the constraints of the law. But which materials count as legitimate sources of law, what values does the law embody and what methods are appropriate to the task of discerning its meaning are always questions open to debate. In other words, the law is an essentially interpretive intellectual and social practice..
The Program in Law and Humanities is dedicated to deepening and broadening our understanding of this practice. It does so largely by exploring connections between law and such "humanistic" disciplines as philosophy, literature and politics. Like law, these disciplines wrestle with difficult questions of interpretation, evidence and value in their respective domains. Cross-disciplinary teaching and research in these fields both facilitates better understanding of the law and also points to ways in which the study of law may contribute to the humanities.

Brom and his Bread
An orphan boy discovers adventure beyond his wildest dreams
Behold Moonglow.
In its perpetual night, the city stayed aglow. Globes of electric light shimmered hither and yon; flickering wisps of light shuddered with false life. Amidst this, pale moonbeams glowed, reflected by a regiment of mirrors, bringing illumination in a place of shadow. The bloated moon dangled in the purple sky as its reflection trembled in the coursing waters of the River Tell.
The river claimed citizenship to Moonglow as well; its waters coursed through trenches and canals burrowed streetside years before. Waterwheels spun, fat and lazy, their paddles churning forth the hydropower that kept the city alive. Grates in the ground belched clouds of steam, and it accumulated into a fog that hung like low clouds.
Along those cobblestone streets, a figure moved with great speed. He ignored the shadows. Passersby cried with indignation as he burst through them. He was not yet a man, small and spry. He froze momentarily, glancing in both directions, and chose a path. As he darted along another busy street, a piercing whistle filled the air.
"Stop!" bellowed a husky voice, and a constable hurried behind, his cheeks rosy and face stricken. "Get back here, boy!"
The boy, named Brom, did not listen. It is not hard to imagine why: it is a natural reaction, for most people, to do the exact opposite of what a person in pursuit orders. Brom wasn't normally a bad person; his small gathering of peers often considered him the most thoughtful of their group. But Brom's decision to nab a hunk of bread from the baker's also made him a thief, which meant that having a conversation with law enforcement wasn't likely to end well for him.
A throng of people, dressed smartly in formalwear, congregated around the front of the theater. Brom grimaced; in his desperation to avoid arrest, he'd fled into the heart of Gildtown, the affluent district. Here, even the servants seemed to earn a king's ransom. The array of stovepipe hats and powdered wigs dazzled the eye. They glanced in his direction; a boy clad in filthy rags and barefoot, running with a half-eaten heel of bread in his hand struck them as out of the ordinary. A few startled gasps greeted him as he plowed through the gathering.
The constable, winded yet determined, pushed through, offering rushed apologies to the theater-goers, as his pursuit continued.
Brom hurdled a low gate, and spun past a strolling couple. The woman shrieked in fear, and the man stabbed a furious glare in Brom's direction, but only pulled the woman closer to him.
I have to get out of this place, Brom thought, desperate. The Gildtown district offered him no sanctuary.
The shrill whistle pierced the air, and much closer than before. Brom glanced over his shoulder and gasped: the constable was gaining ground, and he had company. The mustachioed lawman growled, only perhaps ten feet behind him, "Give this up, thief!"
Brom did not follow directions.
He pivoted, turning quickly and hustling down a narrow alleyway. The hidden detritus of Gildtown gathered here, pushed away conveniently, unable to cast a black mark on the wealthy. The constable grunted and turned in pursuit, but he stumbled, giving Brom more ground. Ahead, a canal rumbled, its water pushing past, accompanied by the thrum of a paddle-wheel.
Brom ran harder. His side was beginning to ache; it felt like the flesh was tearing free, and his breaths became gasps, but he did not slow pace. The rushing water was before him. The constable roared, his voice filling Brom's ears as he leaped.
The canal was perhaps eight feet across, and Brom cleared it, landing neatly and picking up his sprint once more. The constable, meanwhile, grunted as he leaped, but his landing was awkward, and he tumbled into a fleshy heap. He roared after the diminishing form of the bread thief, his fist shaking with futility.
Brom did not slow his pace as he rounded a corner. The adrenaline that pumped through him denied him the ability to simply stop. He kept running, racing through dark alleys, his footfalls echoing in the vacant space.
When he finally reached an opening, he finally slowed. He was out of Gildtown and now at the outer reaches of Bamford Alley, where even a child in rags could avoid notice. There were still evening carousers, though most of these staggered about and occasional hurled unsavory language in another's direction. Powdered wigs would not last long in this stretch of Moonglow. Brom glanced over his shoulder, reassuring himself he was no longer being sought, and stepped into the evening traffic.
He chewed on the bread and kept as much in the shadows as he could manage. He wasn't afraid of anyone asking about the bread here. A greater fear was someone deciding to use him as an outlet for frustration. He gathered the occasional glance as he moved along. The bread was crusty and tasted a little cold, but it was the most he'd eaten all day.
Something hissed at him, and Brom ducked his head; his heart shuddered and his legs flexed, ready for a new chase. An exasperated breath escaped him as he looked up into the filthy face of a boy perhaps two years older than he. The older boy grinned; with his broken teeth he looked more monster than anything else. "Oy, Brom! I heard the jackets was onto you!"
"If they was, they'd have me, wouldn't they?" Brom replied around a mouthful of bread. "Honestly, Gaspard, if I needed someone looking over me all the time, I wouldn't have left the Wayward Home." Brom looked away quickly. Gaspard wasn't exceptionally bright, but Brom didn't want to give anything away.
Gaspard leaned in beside him, eyeing the last remnants of the bread. "And where'd you nick that from, eh?"
"Who's to say I didn't buy it?" Brom asked, shielding the bread.
"That's a laugh," Gaspard spat. "You, or any of us for that matter, buyinganything. You nicked it. I got my eyes out there. They say you was running through Gildtown."
Brom crammed the last bit of bread in his mouth, and swallowed. Gaspard's face twisted bitterly. After chewing and swallowing, Brom offered a skeptical smile. "Why would I be in Gildtown?"
"Don't matter why, does it? They saw you. You was there."
"And I'm telling you I wasn't," Brom replied, eyes narrow.
Gaspard sighed. He plucked a small, stubbed cigar from his pocket and popped it into his mouth. He cracked a match on his thumbnail. Soft, trembling light burst forth. As he brought the flame to the cigar, his eyes glared down upon Brom with subdued fury. "I know you was there, and I know that the law was upon you. The question now is, should he know that you was nicking bread in Gildtown, or should I keep it to myself for when it's convenient?"
"Do what you need to do. I wasn't there." Brom fought to hide the shaking in his voice. The he that Gaspard spoke of was none other than Callow. Callow ruled the Whispers, where the homeless congregated. Callow didn't want the law nosing around in the Whispers. Anyone that attracted the law was punished.
Gaspard glared down at Brom for what felt like an eternity. Suddenly he burst into a laugh, and slapped Brom on the back. "Fine then. You wasn't in Gildtown. You still nicked that bread, but I won't waste time on that. We all gather things from time to time, don't we?"
"Yeah," Brom said unsteadily, and the pair of them walked toward the Whispers, as the sounds of the night echoed behind them.

What an amazing experience!!! We arrived early, and we were happily welcomed. Thank you Giles and your wonderful team!
We had booked a room for three people, however upon arrival we were all given our own rooms as they had them free. Each of the rooms were in the new building and they were all just so beautiful!
We were served a beautiful morning tea on the front lawn and it was just so amazing to be sitting there, looking out over the gardens and the giraffes and the warthogs. I really felt so happy to be there!
We were taken to the market that we had wanted to visit. Then in the afternoon we went to the education centre. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. Really interesting. Loved the walk around the park.
The food was just amazing!!! it was really lovely to sit around the dining table with other guests, such a lovely warm, friendly, homely feeling.
Waking up early was just like a child at Christmas! Looking out of your window and seeing these gracious, magnificent giraffes wandering up to your window. You must experience this!!!
Breakfast was just so amazing, beautiful food too! but to share it with such wonderful company.
It was lovely staying in April, apparently the "off" season, but it wouldn't have mattered at all. Rain, hail or shine, it was wonderful!
I loved every second of my time at Giraffe Manor!!!
It is expensive but really it is worth ever cent!!! Please experience this brilliant place!!!!
