Our History
In its history, our farm house has gone through multiple changes. It originally was a family residence, and then became a general store. Years ago, the original front door of the store was found on the roadside wall with old writings still visible indicating bushels of corn sold to customers. In the 1920's it became the Mayville Lodge, named after where it was located in the village of Bethel. Two rooms with a single shared bathroom were available for rent and meals were included. The Lodge housed visitors to the fairground, which was once located where the town airport, Colonel Dyke Field is
now situated.
The Briar Lea Inn opened in 1994, after extensive renovations to the1850's post and beam constructed Georgian Farmhouse. The Inn consisted of six rooms and offered a delicious breakfast after a restful sleep. In 2005, an addition was made to the Inn, The Jolly Drayman Pub, to offer guests a unique dining and drinking experience similar to those found in British Country Pubs.
The name "Pub" is a shortened version of "Public House," a place for social gatherings of friends to eat and drink. In England, the Drayman is the individual who drives the dray, or beer wagon. No wonder they are so jolly!
Today, both The Briar Lea Inn and the Jolly Drayman Pub reside in this historic farmhouse, providing the perfect offering of quality food and drink, an inviting atmosphere and unique ambiance – all creating the ideal setting for couples, friends and/or families.

There's a famous quote by Abraham Lincoln that reads, "nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
On AMC's "The Walking Dead," Laurie Holden's Andrea has recently come to realize that The Governor didn't get a passing grade when it came to that exam. But in the first episode of 2013, fans saw Andrea actually rise to the challenge herself, taking charge of comforting the people of Woodbury (who, let's face it, aren't all sadistic sociopaths) and inspiring them to stick together and carry on, not unlike the late Dale did for her following the loss of her sister in Season 1.
PLAY IT NOW: The Walking Dead: Laurie Holden - Where Did Andrea Get Her Sexy Season 3 Underwear?
While Andrea still doesn't know the full depths of The Governor's depravation (watching him grieving over his zombie daughter Penny is similar to what many of the characters have gone through), she finds herself on a mission this week when some changes come to Woodbury.
"Andrea's gonna get to the bottom of this," Laurie, who plays the blond spitfire, told AccessHollywood.com on Thursday, previewing Sunday's big episode, which kicks off at 9 PM ET/PT on AMC. "Your head's going to explode."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Norman Reedus: The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon
She also shared quite a bit more in our interview, including defending her character's choices, which seem to be inspired (although not always effective) by Andrea's concern for others, and for the importance she places on keeping kindness, a sense of morality and some normalcy in a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world.
AccessHollywood.com: ['The Walking Dead' creator] Robert Kirkman said Sunday, on AMC's 'Talking Dead,' that he thinks The Governor sees Andrea as a potential co-leader. Do you agree with that?
Laurie Holden: I think The Governor's a very smart man and I think that he sees Andrea's a very strong woman. I think he's watching her like a hawk to see what she's going to do. And if she will help his cause and help lead [the people] in the way that he wants the town to be led then he will ally with her. If not, she's more or less disposable.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Walking Dead: Scenes From Season 3
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead' -- Scenes From Season 3
Access: How much is Andrea's concern for the people of Woodbury going to affect her journey this season? She loves Michonne and she loves Rick's people, but she's got people in Woodbury to care for (which we saw in her speech in the midseason return)?
VIEW THE PHOTOS: An Evening With The Walking Dead
Laurie: A lot of people ask me if Andrea is Team Rick or Team The Governor. She's Team The People and it's not just her friends at the prison, it's the 74 people in Woodbury -- the men, women, children, the elderly. It's both communities, and I think her modus operandi now is, 'How can I make peace? How can there be no bloodshed? How can I make sure nobody dies?' And it's not choosing one side or the other, it's, 'What do I need to do to make sure that the people live?'
WATCH: Laurie Holden -- Where Did Andrea Get Her Sexy Season 3 'TWD' Underwear?
Access: Are you surprised that her character arc has taken her to this place... She was so devastated at the end of Season 1; Season 2 she was still reeling from everything that happened to her sister and she went a little wild, and now she cares about all these people? It's incredible.
Laurie: It's incredible. I feel like I shot six movies in the last three years and I feel such incredible gratitude for the show that as an actress, I've been able to play a character that has gone on such a rollercoaster of an emotional journey. If you'd told me in Season 1 [that] in Season 3, 'You will experience love of sorts, you will laugh, you will smile,' I would have said, 'No way.' I would have never ever in a million years anticipated or believed that this journey is possible.
PHOTOS: An Evening With The Cast Of 'The Walking Dead'
Access: I've got to think that as an actress, this is almost like a role of a lifetime, in that you have such an incredible female character.
Laurie: It's fantastic, but it's a double edged sword because I love Andrea, I breathe Andrea, I live it when I'm shooting it and when fans go nuclear on Andrea for a bad decision, i.e. shooting Daryl, i.e. falling for the sociopathic villain of the piece, I always feel so defensive and protective of her because I'm like, 'She's flawed, she's human,' and I think the reason why you either love Andrea or hate Andrea and you get frustrated with Andrea [is because] she's a real human being. So many people have been like, 'How could you be with that guy?' First of all, she didn't know that he was bat sh** crazy. But also, too, how many times in your life have you, as a woman, or your best friend or someone you cared about who's awesome, shacked up with the wrong dude and you're shaking them going, 'Wake up.' It's so human. We've all done it. This is just magnified times a thousand because it's the apocalypse and the stakes are higher.
WATCH: David Morrissey On The Governor's 'Battle For His Humanity'
Access: This week, Milton's keeping an eye on Andrea. What's coming up? Apparently it's very important for your character?
Laurie: It's enormous. God it's huge... Your mind is going to explode.
Access: Last week she didn't have a whole lot to do, she was storming around the place going, 'Where's the Governor!'
Laurie: And I know a lot of people are like 'Why is she still in Woodbury?' Well, I don't really have access to a vehicle (laughs).
Access: She cares about the people there.
Laurie: Yeah, she cares about the people there. If she leaves, she's walking away from 74 people. She's really trying to make the right choice. She's really mulling all of the information in her head and trying to formulate a plan and then she's gonna take some major action... Andrea takes action, that's this episode coming up.
PHOTOS: The Stunning Ladies Of Primetime Television
Access: Could she be finding out more about The Governor this week? He may be crazy, but she hasn't seen the full depths of how totally crazy he is.
Laurie: Yeah... People are just like, 'What do you mean? You saw Penny in the closet?' and I'm like, 'Yeah, I saw Penny in the closet, but you're talking to a character who sat over my dead sister for two days, who loved Hershel -- who kept his wife and family in a barn.' We're all grieving and it's not black and white. People are still hoping there's a cure. We still don't even know how this virus began. So you can't judge people for their way of handling the loss of the people that they loved. Sometimes it's squirrely and it doesn't make sense, but you can't blame them because nobody has all the information.
WATCH: Danai Gurira - Will Michonne Be Loyal To Rick's Group?
Access: Will we see you teaming up with Milton as all? I like Andrea and Milton. I think they're kind of fun together.
Laurie: I know, isn't he a dear? I think that he's caught in the middle of a very complicated situation and I think he has a lot of respect for The Governor... but at the same time, he's a really good person. He's a humanitarian and I think that [Milton] and Andrea, they really bonded over Mr. Coleman and they're kindred spirits in a way. They want the best for humanity, so you may see an alignment of those two at some point -- possibly.

The tuner that's shaped like a headstock
The ideal clip-on guitar/bass/ukulele tuner for beginners
The headtune is a clip-on tuner with a unique design that's based on the shape of a guitar, bass, or ukulele headstock. With the headtune attached to the headstock of your instrument, play a single note on the string that you want to tune. Two indicators will illuminate: the string indicator LED will show the peg position, and the LED meter will indicate the tuning of that note. This makes it obvious which peg needs to be adjusted. You can choose from a lineup consisting of four models: two models that are suitable for standard guitar headstocks, a model for bass, and a model for ukulele. With the innovation and precision you expect from Korg, the headtune makes tuning easy!

At Rubadub we regularly monitor our prices to ensure we're competitive. We know how important your hard-earned cash is and will always strive to provide you with as good (if not better) a deal as anyone else. However... it's also worth saying that in the bigger picture we consider other factors to be just as important as price in the service we offer our customers. As we always say, we're good guys to deal with and that's worth something more than money.
If the price you've seen is on a European website (or one that appears to be from the UK but is actually German or Dutch), please also note that many such sites will charge you in Euros and the £GBP prices shown are, at best, a rough guide. Often the credit card currency exchange fees are not included in the prices, and as such the actual £GBP price you pay is often 3-4% more than the price they show.
They are also supplying you with non-UK stock so it will have European power plugs (costing you more cash to replace the power supply) and will generally have to go back to Germany or Holland if you are unhappy with it or something goes wrong with it.
When you buy from Rubadub you get:
So it's worth considering that even against a crazy price elsewhere, we may be offering the best deal for you overall.

Ye Olde Christmastide at Glen Eyrie Castle
By Craig Richardson On November 24, 2010 · 3 Comments · In A Big Something, Food, Local History, Music, Videos
Each year, the Navigators at Glen Eyrie present a truly unique holiday offering, the madrigal banquet at the former residence of Colorado Springs' founder, William Jackson Palmer. The banquet was the brainchild of Springs resident Dave McIntosh who has been transforming the castle into a middle-ages holiday wonderland and feasting hall for the past 22 years with the help of countless volunteers. Come along on this video journey as we speak with McIntosh about the madrigal banquet and take a sneak peak at the mellifluous, multi-course banquet.
For information on dates, times and tickets, you can visit Glen Eyrie on the web, HERE.

Might have been just me, but didn't get sound. Popped over to Youtube, and was able to hear the article.
Glen Eyrie Christmas is wonderful. Excellent food, excellent music, and a terrific ambiance. I didn't think about the pacing, but as Dave described it, I remember we really did visit with everyone at the table, and had ample opportunity to enjoy the food and company as well as the entertainment.
My husband and I did a special date night, and attended the event and spent the night in the castle, which included breakfast in the morning. It was expensive, but we really loved it. Get your tickets early. It sells out every show every year.

We actually did this interview and recording towards the end of the season two years ago. I want to thank Craig for doing a really great job editing this. I didn't look like a total idiot. : )
We have made a lot of changes for this season, mostly in the Great Hall, and in some of the costuming. A whole new color palette and set gives a whole new feeling to the banquet. Hope you come and see us!

Group traveling is most certainly one of the best ways of experiencing a new destination. Because more is mostly merrier, the experience is matchless to any other. Your trip becomes so much more happening and with so many smart minds working together, a lot of traveling goals can be easily achieved.
The best kind of group traveling is to travel with your family and friends. Because you already know them too well, it is an advantage because you'd realistically know what to expect from them.
One of the best memories of your life would be to travel with your loved ones. If you're traveling with both family and friends on your next domestic or international trip, here are some of the tips you may wish to consider.
1. Have a Detailed Conversation
Conversations are extremely important before beginning your trip. When it comes to group traveling, the most difficult aspect is the planning part. Because putting everyone in one place is often a difficult task, you have to make the effort of somehow conversing with them.
However, this discussion is extremely important. Through this, you'd get to know what each one of them prefers. This way, it would be easier to plan a trip that makes everyone super happy! While you're planning, it is important to ensure that everyone has a voice, especially the introverted ones!
2. Create the Musts
Creating the must-see and must-do is how to go on about it. Ultimately, this would help you to create a successful itinerary for your trip. No matter what destination you're traveling to, there would be a lot of things to see and experience. Since everyone will have different preferences, there is a lot you can achieve by putting everyone's desires in the travel journal. This journal would be your ultimate guideline in planning a wonderful trip.
3. Always have an Alternate Plan
The toughest part of the group travel is that you can never be certain of what might happen on your trip. Because the number of people is going to be more, your plans might not go as you've expected.
Therefore, devising a plan B is extremely important if you wish to be successful on your travels. This is going to maintain the quality of your trip instead of letting everyone get disappointed with the entire experience.
4. Trip Planning Services
Despite your best travel expertise, group planning can often become tricky. Therefore, hiring professional travel planning services can help you a great deal for devising the most sensible plans.
These travel services would give you a realistic check of the time you'd have and how you can potentially put them to a great use. One of the best reasons for hiring these travel services is that they're used to finding bundle discounts when it comes to hotels and airfares. This can help you to save big on your trip with your family and friends.

Community organizing as foreign policy?
posted at 12:23 am on November 3, 2009 by Karl
The Washington Post's Scott Wilson invokes a metaphor as apt as it is pathetic:
President Obama is applying the same tools to international diplomacy that he once used as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side, constructing appeals to shared interests and attempting to bring the government's conduct in line with its ideals.
Obama's approach to the world as a community of nations, more alike than different in outlook and interest, has elevated America's standing abroad and won him the Nobel Peace Prize. But on the farthest-reaching U.S. foreign policy challenges, he is struggling to translate his own popularity into American influence, even with allies that have celebrated his break from the Bush administration's emphasis on military strength, unilateral action and personal chemistry.
Much of the article is then devoted to cataloging the growing list of failures of Obama's foreign policy. The president dithers over troop levels in Afghanistan, which is fresh off an election debacle that undermines the legitimacy of the government. Our NATO allies have balked at his requests for more troops. His dithering over Iran's nuclear ambitions annoys everyone from France to the US Congress (so much so that Obama may have to go the unilateral cowboy route himself). His stimulus-based proposal for addressing the global financial crisis was rejected by France and Germany. He double-crossed the Polish and Czech governments on missile defense to appease Russia, with nothing to show for it. He has been soft on Chinese human rights abuses but — as with Russia — has gained no cooperation on Iran. Indeed, Obama's flip-flop on the genocide in Darfur may also have been designed to gain favor with Russia and China (who have oil interests in the Sudan), again to no avail. He has made no more progress on the not-so-cold-war between Israel and Palestinian Authority than his predecessor, despite trying to lean on our democratic ally. China, India and Canada are resisting Obama's global warmist agenda. Etc.
Wilson was good enough to remind his readers that "[a]s a community organizer, Obama worked to identify the common interests of neighborhoods suffering through the economic aftermath of plant closings and of the politicians elected to represent them." Wilson failed to remind his readers that Obama was an abject failure in that project:
The long-term goal was to retrain workers in order to restore manufacturing jobs in the area; Kellman took Obama by the rusted-out, closed-down Wisconsin Steel plant for a firsthand look. But the whole thing was a bit of a pipe dream, as the leaders soon discovered. "The idea was to interview these people and look at education, transferable skills, so that we could refer them to other industries," Loretta Augustine-Herron told me as we drove by the site of the old factory, now completely torn down. "Well, they had no transferable skills. I remember interviewing one man who ran a steel-straightening machine. It straightened steel bars or something. I said, well, what did you do? And he told me he pushed a button, and the rods came in, and he pushed a button and it straightened them, and he pushed a button and it sent them somewhere else. That's all he did. And he made big bucks doing it."
That, of course, was one of the reasons the steel mill closed. And it became clear that neither Obama nor Kellman nor anyone else was going to change the direction of the steel industry and its unions in the United States. Somewhere along the line, everyone realized that those jobs wouldn't be coming back.
From there, Obama went on to organizing Altgeld Gardens, where he took too much credit for too little accomplishment.
Had Wilson reminded people of that history, his portrait of Obama's ineffectual foreign policy would have made more sense to his readership. As an organizer, he undertook projects with unrealistic goals, with little understanding of the people he was opposing or the people he was trying to help. He was so ineffectual that he got out of the community organizing racket and into electoral politics. He apparently learned nothing from his past failures, and is dooming us to repeat them.

The BBC has announced that it will be launching HD Sound, a high quality Internet only audio stream.
The first time we get to hear it will be for the Electric Proms later this month on Radio 2, while the corporation will be launching it officially in December with BBC Radio 3's website the lucky recipient. Other special events will also get the HD Sound treatment, while the long-term plan is to integrate the stream into the BBC iPlayer and the websites RadioPlayer.
According to the Guardian, the bit-rate is 320-kbits, and while we're awaiting confirmation of that from the BBC, this would make it considerably higher than either DAB, which offers 128Kbps for Radio 2, and 192Kbps for Radio 3. Platforms such as satellite, cable and Freeview offer more bandwidth but even these are limited to 192Kbps.
As the BBC admits though, you'll need decent equipment to actually perceive the benefits of the higher bit-rate stream. In a statement the BBC said, "those using small speakers built into a laptop may not notice a big difference, but listeners with a computer connected to a good-quality sound system or high-quality headphones should be able to appreciate the extra clarity and detail in the sound."
Tim Davie, director BBC Audio & Music, said in a statement: "HD Sound is an exciting development and a signal of our commitment to innovate in digital radio for the benefit of our listeners."
Hopefully, it will become the de- facto BBC standard sooner rather than later and that other broadcasters will soon follow suit, bathing our ears in fine quality sound.

Piers Fawkes: In Praise Of TED
Why the five day conference still draws crowds and gives people access to ideas and voices they might not otherwise hear.
Two weeks ago, I attended my first TED conference. I wasn't too sure what to expect from an event that has produced content that has been watched and appreciated across the globe. Sure, I had seen and shared that content on PSFK.com but I was intrigued to experience the event in person to find out why it sells out year after year. I was also interested to see if TED was still a special experience or if there was some truth in the back lash that recently occurred — much of it detailed extensively in this New York Times Magazine article, published at the beginning of March. But instead of a meeting of pontification and self-importance, I found a truly rare event that was unlike anything I have ever been to — or anything I will see in the future.
At the heart of this, is a true and authentic desire by a team lead by Chris Anderson to share ideas and insights that they think the many political, business and creative leaders in the room can leverage when they return to work. The wild and weird mix of speakers from science, technology, philosophy, business and music provided a stream of lateral inspiration that you wouldn't normally consume – in fact, I feel that I might have actively avoided listening to half the speakers on stage if I had looked closely at the agenda. Yet sitting there with the rest of the audience, I felt somewhat energized as I was bombarded with facts about black holes in space, function maps of the brain, transgendered supermodels, and jokes about whether a God would question the meaning of His existence.
But what makes TED different is that it does what no one else can. At its best, it can access some of the most important people creating change in the world to spread their ideas on a stage before an audience made up of similar people (and then the rest of us). No one else can get Edward Snowden to do an interview via robotic avatar — or the NSA to respond. No one else can get Charlie Rose to interview Larry Page. No one can get Bill and Melinda Gates to talk about their philanthropic efforts. On top of that, no one else can put those speakers in a room with an audience that includes business titans Jeff Bezos, Tony Hsieh, Reed Hastings, and Martha Stewart, a couple of Hollywood celebrities and political figures like Al Gore. TED lasts for almost five days and many of the attendees I noticed in the coffee lines seemed to stay for the whole thing.
Were the talks important? Did the talks sound like intellectual fluff? As an event curator, I'm not to sure I would have chosen all of the speakers they did, but like everyone else, I took what I wanted, and my subconscious took what it needed. All this being said, it was a treat and pleasure to attend. I watched a level of thinking that I wouldn't have experienced anywhere else and I connected with a crowd that still can't be found everywhere. I think TED remains a vital event in the annual calendar and I hope it evolves and grows still further to spread good ideas everywhere.

A crane operator has been plucked to safety by a hovering helicopter in a daring rescue in Canada after flames engulfed his rig, trapping him high above the ground for 90 terrifying minutes.
Dozens of firefighters were called to the large blaze at a construction site in downtown Kingston, Ontario, but could not reach the crane operator, who was photographed standing desperately at the end of the crane, 100 metres above the ground, with no way out as intense flames engulfed the machinery below him.
Construction workers feared the crane could topple at any moment, said CKWS Newswatch journalist Morganne Campbell, who was tweeting from the scene.
Man is hanging on the edge. Crane could topple over at any minute according to construction workers. @CKWS_TV pic.twitter.com/T3IBCRg1v4 — Morganne Campbell (@Journo_Morganne)
December 17, 2013
A rescue helicopter was called in from a nearby defence base, and was photographed hovering above the crane and winching the unidentified worker to safety in an incredible rescue.
Crane oprt is rescued by 424 sqd from on top of a crane from the fire blw. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Lars Hagberg #ygk pic.twitter.com/1SZpmBuyxV — Lars Hagberg (@larshagberg)
December 17, 2013
He was taken to hospital with only minor injuries, Kingston Police told CBC News.
The fire at a student housing apartment block, which was under construction, started about 2.30pm on Tuesday (6.30am Wednesday, AEDT), with the helicopter rescuing the stranded worker just before 4pm.
Mark Gerretsen, the mayor of Kingston, tweeted that ''based on unconfirmed reports all construction personal are accounted for and safe''.
He also tweeted a photograph of the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton helicopter plucking the construction worker to safety.
''A massive thank you on behalf of the people of Kingston to CFB Trenton,'' he wrote.
Kingston resident Bruce Cadieu said he heard about the fire and immediately headed to the site with a group of people.
The went to the roof of a building overlooking the are and saw the crane operator edging away from the flames.
"We weren't there for too long because it's -30 degrees outside, but the fire had definitely gone up right through the base of the crane, so the crane operator's had to move pretty much all the way out to the edge. Luckily he was able to do that, because otherwise the worst would have happened," he said.
"It's quite the scene. I'm only 26 so I haven't seen this my entire life.
"You see stuff on the television and on the internet, but never in person and that's one of the reasons we went over. It was something that was just so incredible, and a tragedy in town. It was a new development that was going up for student housing in an area of town that was being revived by the city so it's pretty sad to have a year's work of construction all of a sudden disappear."
Lieutenant Bettina McCulloch-Drake, from CFB Trenton, told the National Post it had taken 55 minutes to rescue the man from the time they received a call alerting them to the danger.
"It was a tower crane operator that was stranded 100 metres above the ground. And the man, he was hoisted aboard the Griffon helicopter and transported to an ambulance," she said.
Andrew Yaworski, who lives a few blocks from the scene, told CTV News Channel that a four-storey student residence building under construction was destroyed in the fire.
"It's completely gone," he said.
Residents within 500 metres of the building were evacuated as a precaution.

More Than Monkey Business
Duffy-Marie Arnoult
As an undergraduate intern at National Geographic, John Trybus, BA '08, had the opportunity to hear a speech by renowned primatologist Jane Goodall. Her passion and intensity had a profound effect on him, but he had no idea then where it would end up leading him.
After attending GW, Mr. Trybus moved to Chicago in expectation of beginning his post-graduate life there but didn't get the job he'd expected. At loose ends, he took a two-month trip to Asia on his own—a vacation he calls "the trip of a lifetime."
While in Indonesia, Mr. Trybus went orangutan trekking with one of the world's foremost authorities on orangutans, Dr. Birute Galdikas. Recalling the power of Dr. Goodall's presentation, he applied for a job opening he saw at the Jane Goodall Institute.
The institute, which Dr. Goodall established in 1977, uses research, education, and advocacy to help the public understand and preserve great apes and their habitats. According to its website, it aims to create "a worldwide network of young people" taking responsible action "to care for their human community, for all animals, and for the environment."
For Mr. Trybus, it sounded like an ideal fit. "But it was a horrible job description," he says now, laughing. "It did not tell me what I was getting myself into."
The journey across Asia continued—he interviewed for the post at JGI on the phone from Singapore—but what Mr. Trybus could not have anticipated was that the "trip of a lifetime" would become his full-time job.
Now, as manager of outreach and public relations in the global office of the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, Mr. Trybus plans and manages an international speaking tour that occupies more than 300 days a year, with nearly 35,000 people attending in the United States alone.
The interactive nature of Dr. Goodall's style, Mr. Trybus says, is a key part of her effectiveness as an ambassador of sustainability and community service.
"She could be sitting at home, just doing media interviews, but the power of what she does is to raise awareness on an individual level," Mr. Trybus says. "We don't just give a speech and then leave; we try to build a relationship. [Dr. Goodall] looks people in the eye and gets them interested in what we're doing."
Sometimes that interest takes unusual forms. Mr. Trybus remembers when, at the end of a "a particularly long book-signing at the Memphis zoo," a man lifted up his shirt and said, "Dr. Goodall, will you place your signature here?" After she signed in big letters, the man informed them that he intended to get a tattoo. Mr. Trybus handed him a business card and told him to send a picture if he followed through. "The next morning we had a photo," he remembers.
At GW, Mr. Trybus says, he was already preparing for the far-flung, fast-paced lifestyle he now lives. "It wasn't uncommon for students and faculty [at GW] to be not just thinking about, but actually doing, things around the world. To dream big was not out of the ordinary—it was almost expected."
He has also seen, in a concrete way, that big dreams can bear fruit. "I've gone to a lot of cities with Dr. Goodall more than once, and we see a lot of the same people come back and tell us what they've accomplished since our last visit.
"It's hard work," Mr. Trybus continues. "But we have fun, too, and it's [because of] these incredible people. When we bring Dr. Goodall to these places, we connect likeminded people. Then they go out in their communities and make a difference."
Mr. Trybus doesn't let the demands of his job slow him down. While working full time, he is also finishing his master's degree in public relations and corporate communications at Georgetown University, focusing on communications for social impact.
"I don't communicate about products, as some other public relations professionals do, but I consider myself a salesman of ideas," Mr. Trybus says. "Dr. Goodall has an amazing message. I'm proud to help get it out."

I don't really know exactly what stood out in my mind about this most exceptional bus tour but I've listed below some of the experiences which made it so special. Robert Wilson (Fun Tassie Tours) runs a very intimate little bus tour business which showcases the best of Tasmania. We were given a great appreciation of the historical, social, agricultural, architectural, manufacturing, mining, artists and flora and fauna. Maybe the stand out day was when Robert showed us the fairy penguins, herding us all down to the sea in the dark with his special torch and detailed instructions as to how we were to behave and not get in the way of penguins, this was so exciting. Maybe it was the day that he has us crawling around in the long grass trying to sneak up on the wombats for a great photo or the amazing bbq dinner he personally cooked and hosted for all 10 visitors at Cradle Mountain. No, for me it was when Robert jumped over the roped off area at the Wall and took not just us but everyone else who was there on the day for a guided tour of this exceptional art space. The Pied Piper is probably the best analogy that springs to mind as he brought the story of the carvings to life for us all. Kindness and thoughtfulness as shown to each and everyone on the trip, you'll have a treasure of a time with Fun Tassie Tours. Regards Anne Morrissey
Our guide Robert Wilson always put us, our enjoyment and safety as his priorities. He attended to details and he was helpful and thoughtful. After our tour we really couldn't ask for more! Totally impressed by his professionalism!

Microsoft CEO defends its innovation record, financial results
By Bill Rigby
BELLEVUE, Washington (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer defended his company's record on innovation and financial performance at the annual shareholders' meeting, but conceded that he should have moved faster to get into the booming tablet market dominated by Apple Inc's iPad.
Bill Gates, co-founder and now chairman of the world's largest software company, was one of the first to champion tablet-sized devices more than 10 years ago, but Microsoft failed to come up with a product that worked as well as the iPad. Gates was silent throughout the meeting, attended by about 450 shareholders.
"We're innovating on the seam between software and hardware," said Ballmer, asked why his company had fallen behind rival Apple. "Maybe we should have done that earlier."
A month ago, Microsoft launched the Surface tablet - its first own-brand computer - but has not revealed sales figures.
In the tablet market, "we see nothing but a sea of upside," Ballmer said, an acknowledgement that until now Microsoft has effectively had zero presence in the tablet market.
"I feel pretty good about our level of innovation," he added.
Ballmer said smartphones running Microsoft's new Windows software were selling four times as much as they did at this time last year. Microsoft has never given sales numbers of Windows phones, primarily made by Nokia, Samsung and HTC.
Windows currently has 2 to 4 percent of the global smartphone market, according to various independent data providers. Its overall market share will not likely grow in proportion to its own sales, given that sales of other smartphones - mostly running Google's Android system - are also growing quickly. Continued...

This is a staple in my makeup bag. A little goes a long way so don't use a lot. You can use the sponge that comes with it but make sure you wash it after each side is used. I use their foundation brush and it has a nice dewy finish. My skin is oily so a finish powder is necessary if u get oily. Coverage is great!!
I saw some reviews saying they had problems with clumpy results but it's all in how much you apply.

I have been using YSL teint majeur foundation which is perfect for my very dry and combination skin which is also ultra sensitive. Now I absolutely love the feel of my YSL but the lasting power and the colour match are not he best so I thought I would begin my research for that perfect foundation yet again.
I am very disappointed with this shisiedo foundation. The price isn't a factor here.
Cons: 1 zero lasting power, the worst I hav ever come across. I am quite dry normally and it gets shiny after two hours of wear. The foundation practically disappears after 5 to 6 hours and yes I always use a powder to set my foundations.
2. My face feels itchy with it on.
Pros: great colour match for Asian skin tones
Definitely will be returning it.

This is the best foundation I've used in quite some time. A little goes a long way. It's creamy, moisturizing and medium coverage. Doesn't leave me looking cakey or dry and lasts a long time.

For 12 g of product it is expensive but this works for my skin and is travel friendly. I have combo skin and asian skin tone so I find it difficult to find matching shades. I have this in 020. I wanted a compact foundation that wouldn't spill in my bag. I apply this with the Shiseido foundation stipple soft brush and the finish on me is matte and not flaky dry. This evens out my skin tone, redness, under eye, decreases nose shine and sun spots. So far I love it. I wish it came in a smaller mirrored compact with a tight sealed lid to prevent drying out. I do use a light facial moisturizer under this, not a primer, and it lasts 8 hrs on me. Bonus, it has SPF 15 and photographs well on my face. The color shade stayed the same on me and didn't oxidize. Cetaphil removes it all off at the end of the day easily. For reference I have used Revlon Colorstay Buff, MUFE concealer 06, Shiseido Concealer 02 Light Medium, NC20 to 25.

Cakey, clumpy application. Couldn't get it to look smooth. Low coverage and doesn't hold up to a hot day. I was a greasy mess midday, and I looked like I had no foundation on at all.
I did not wear it long enough to check for breakouts.

I just starting using this about a week ago and I really like it! I have been using the extra virgin minerals liquid foundation from the body shop for a while and was getting tired of having to apply it with my hands. The Shiseido compact is really moisturizing and applies onto the skin so well! I also really like that the make-up has a yellow undertone to it because my face is naturally pink and the yellow helps tone that down. I also have sensitive, dry skin and this helps moisturize without causing any breakouts. All in all a great product!

Really like this foundation! My Chanel Teint Innocence compact foundation was discontinued, so I have been on the search and finally found this. I have VERY oily skin. Cream compact foundations that you apply with a sponge are my favorite and have always worked best for me.
I see that some women on here are complaining that this foundation looks "cakey" or that they are running out too quickly. Ladies, if that is happening, you are using too much! I have had this compact for two months now and have barely made a dent in it. The coverage is great and you only need apply the very thinnest layer on your skin. I lightly dab the sponge in the foundation and spread/stipple a super-thin layer on my face. I do not need a primer with this foundation, because it evens me out and now my blush goes on perfectly smooth and lasts ALL DAY. That never used to happen with my other foundations. I can't believe that when I check my blush hours later, it is still there! Very happy now!
Please note, this foundation is NOT a matte finish; it is a "Natural" finish and slightly "dewey." The less you use, the better it looks and performs. I wish it came in a matte finish, considering how very oily my skin is - but when appiled with a light hand, even ladies with oily skin can wear this. Also, since I am oily, I was scared to try a "hydro-liquid" formula, but again, apply very sparingly and you'll be okay. I really like my smooth, even skin now! Plus this does not break me out - in fact, my skin looks better! If Shiseido will make this in a matte finish, I will definitely buy it. If it was matte, I would have given it five stars.

This is the best foundation i've ever get!! it's matte, good covering and easy to applied.. it's easy to blend too.. and after few hours it's become more glowing and smoother on your skin.. i never find such a good foundation like this.. it's a solid and very creamy foundation.. usually, foundation like this is not suit for me.. but this one is suit for my oily skin.. it's just left lil bit oil on my skin but isn't look gross and mess at all.. even my skin look more glowing and luminize.. good for normal/dry skin.. unfortunately, the price for this foundation was soooo expensive.. but this is quite valuable though expensive..

Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Sorry to hear. On the other hand, any accident you can walk away from...
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Just glad to hear you're OK! As you say, it could have been a whole lot worse. Hope they can put the car back so it's as good as new.
Best regards,
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes, I am ok. Just a bit sore. I am sure I will be feeling the effects in the next few days.
I have a Chevy Malibu as a rental. Body Shop said around two weeks and I took it to the best body shop around. They do a lot of custom stuff, have been around for over 40 years and I am confident my car is in great hands. I have used them over the past 10 years for various things and have referred over family and friends and everyone has been very happy with their work. Their paint work is better than factory and their collision guys are second to none. They just repaired a black diamond V wagon a couple weeks ago and they were able to flawlessly match the paint, so I am not worried at all. I know the owner of the shop and he is a great guy to work with.
I am really not sure why the car pulled hard to the right when I slammed on the brake pedal. I don't think I have ever applied that much force to the brake pedal. I felt ABS kick in, but I have never had that hard pulling feeling ever happen to me. Oh well. What can I do? Damage is already done.
Both front tires were replaced as a pair before I replaced the wheel. I got the pair off ebay as I got a great deal on them, but I don't think the pulling feeling was a result of the tires. Seemed like everything kicked in at the same time, but I just didn't have the space in that split second. I mean, I saw the pile up ahead of me and tried to avoid it and this time, I just couldn't. I have been able to avoid situations like this time and time again.
You guys all made me feel much better. Yes, it's just a car, but a very special one to me. I love the car more than I have ever loved a car before. It's the best car I have ever owned and it protected me when it really mattered. I guess I am happy that it is a lease, because if it were a purchase, I would be so damn mad right now.
I would really like to thank GM and Cadillac for building such an amazing and SAFE machine.
My insurance company has been great to work with. I filed the claim about 30 minutes after the accident which was around noon today. Within an hour, the Claims adjuster contacted and was really nice and very sympathetic to what happened. Right after I spoke to her, the field adjuster was ready to come out and look at the car at the shop. I have never seen a field adjuster wanting to go out and look at the car the SAME DAY as the accident to get me taken care of and the repairs started. I mean, I hadn't even had a chance to drop the car off at the body shop. Insurance company notified rental car company of the accident, who in turn also contacted me right away to let me know that they already had a car waiting for me once I dropped my car off. They have been absolutely amazing in this frustrating time. I have had really great luck with AAA. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Thanks again, guys.

I picked the right day to work from home. My assistant rear ended someone yesterday afternoon on the101 N.
Good luck with the repair. Did you go to Precision?
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
I always go to Doug's Custom in Chatsworth. I don't think I have ever seen better quality work from any shop. They really are the best. You should see the Harley fuel tank they just did for a Los Angeles Lakers charity event. Simply amazing! They do lots of custom muscle car restorations, tons of custom Harley paint work, so my car is a piece of cake for them to handle.
Phew! I was nervous when I first opened the thread. That doesn't look bad at all. And glad to hear you're OK...
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
FWIW I experienced something similar when I had to stop hard from high speed once. When I got on the brakes very hard, the front brakes worked so well that the rear end got light and started wiggling. I had to let off the brakes to let it settle then get back on them hard again. That was pretty scary, it could have gone very badly at that point. I didn't even feel the ABS which just means that the tires had a lot of grip and the braking force generated by those huge front calipers is absolutely immense. I've never been in a harder-braking car, and I've driven Z06s on a track. I can actually feel the skin on my face being pulled forward, it's ridiculous.
That's obviously a good thing, but with all the weight going to the front of the car, and with a lot of grip on the front tires, the potential exists to actually lift the rear tires off the ground which can be completely disastrous. It's almost better if you have to brake on an uneven or slightly slippery surface, because then the ABS will kick in and modulate the clamping force, which will leave your rear end on the ground where it belongs.
Badly rutted roads could cause a hard pull...
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
CTS-V-TWIN, I am just catching up on this thread today and am so very sorry to hear about your accident! I'm relieved you were able to walk away uninjured and glad your V is in good hands for repairs.
Cadillac Customer Service
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
It could have been any number of reasons why the car pulled hard to the right. Oh well.
Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I really do appreciate it!
Body shop just called...damage is between $12K to $15K!!!! It's a lot worse than it looks. They told me that it will be better than new when they are done with it. They are ordering parts today and should have everything late this week or early next week. Everything is going forward WAY faster than I thought it would. I thought my car would be in the shop for at least a month. Looks like it may be in the shop for less than two weeks.
Can't wait to get it back. After driving several CTS-V's over the years and then driving a Chevy Malibu, I really appreciate my car. You don't know what you have until it's gone.
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Sorry to hear about your accident and glad to see you're okay. Two weeks to get your car back isn't too bad..
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Yes, thank you. I seem to be ok. I am still surprised at how fast everyone is working on this from the claims adjuster, field adjuster to the body shop. I think it may be less than two weeks. If it wasn't for the upcoming holiday, it would be less than two weeks for sure! Having the right insurance company makes a world of difference when dealing with an event like this.
What is involved for that estimate??
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
I will know when I get a copy of it. They are still working on it. Apparently the front bumper, grille, hood, front quarter panels, LH headlamp, radiator core support, oil cooler, radiator, A/C condenser, right front wheel, intercooler and they are still going through the front end to make sure they don't miss anything.
Re: Crashed my V Coupe...Pics here...
Really glad you are OK! Did the air-bag(s) pop? I'm guessing not ...

New research announced at Melbourne Museum today confirms champion racehorse Phar Lap ingested a lethal dosage of arsenic hours before his death.
Researchers Dr Ivan Kempson from the University of South Australia and Dermot Henry, Manager, Natural Science Collections at Museum Victoria, determined that it was possible to distinguish between arsenic which had been ingested and that used during the taxidermy process.
This proves that Phar Lap had ingested a large dose of arsenic in the last 30 to 40 hours of his life.
"We have been able to find suitable taxidermied horses to compare the behaviour of the arsenic used in the preservation process with arsenic which has been ingested. Our findings are underscored by the results of Phar Lap's autopsy, which are consistent with other published cases we have found of horses dying from arsenic poisoning," explained Henry.
"Hair incorporates products from the blood supply and as it grows can present a historical time-line of exposure to toxins. Tests using intense X-rays to detect arsenic in Phar Lap's hair, were conducted at the Synchrotron in Chicago in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
"The synchrotron makes it possible to detect low concentrations of metals in very small samples and allows detailed chemical mapping on the nanometre scale," said Kempson.
It was also necessary to determine whether it was possible to distinguish ingested arsenic from arsenic which may have been used as a preservation agent in the preparation of Phar Lap's hide.
"Comparisons were made between arsenic in hair from historical museum specimens, which had been preserved using arsenic, and arsenic in hair from a pig that had ingested a fatal dose of arsenic, in a separate, unrelated project," explained Henry.
Preliminary results, reported in October 2006, suggested that Phar Lap had ingested arsenic. However researchers then had not yet found a suitable taxidermied horse to compare the behaviour of the arsenic used in the preservation process in horse hairs.
Glad we could help Thomas!

For My Eyes Only
Have you ever been in a situation where you're working on sensitive material in MS Excel and someone walks up behind you?
What do you do?
Do you quickly minimize the entire program?
Yeah, I've done that too. But what if you need Excel to work on something else with the person who came in?
You could go through the hassle of closing and saving the file—but there's a faster way.
Why not just hide the file?
Hide it?
Yes, hide it. (I realize it's not a piece of paper you can just shove in a desk drawer, but Excel has you covered on this issue.)
Here's the deal…
Next time you need to quickly remove a workbook from someone else's eyesight simply go to the Window menu and choose Hide. (Pressing the Alt, then W, then H keys one at a time will accomplish the same thing.)
Instantly, the current workbook will be hidden from view.
If you take a look at the list of open files in the Window menu you'll find that the workbooks is no longer listed. (Good news… this means you can't accidentally switch to the file you do not want viewed.)
Now let's move ahead a bit.
Let's suppose that you're ready to get back to work on your hidden file. It's definitely not on the list in the Window menu so what do you do?
You unhide it, of course.
Return to the Window menu and choose Unhide this time. (The keys Alt, W then U one after another will do the same thing.)
A window will pop open listing all hidden files.
Choose the workbook you need to unhide and click OK. You'll be returned to Excel with your workbook active and ready for you to continue.
At this point I can hear just one more question…
Are you wondering what will happen if you forget to unhide a workbook and try to close Excel?
Excel-lent question!
Basically, Excel will ask if you want to save the file—the same way it does with all open files when the program closes. Choose yes or no and proceed the same as you would with any other file.
The difference comes in when you open the file again at a later time. Upon reopening, the file will immediately be hidden. You'll need to return to the Window menu to unhide it and then, once again, you're ready to go.
(If you forget this little nugget of information you'll most likely think that your workbook has somehow been erased. Not a great feeling, so keep this warning in mind.)
And there you have it. A quick and easy way to hide the workbook so no one else can see it.
It's a little like "hiding the clutter". Come to think of it – the hide / unhide label is probably one I should give to my coat closet. It's amazing how much stuff can be hidden in there.
~ April
P.S. You can do the same thing with a worksheet within a workbook through the Format menu, Sheet submenu, then the Hide choice. (Then Unhide to get the worksheet back.)

I own the most aggravating, and therefore effective, alarm clock ever invented. It moves around the bedroom while I sleep, then shrieks like a jet engine every morning at 4:55. My wife has thrown it away three times, but it always crawls out of the dumpster and makes it way back to the table beside my bed. Yes, I hate it too, but it keeps me and my neighbors from being late to work.
But I can't shake the feeling that I'm always late for other more important things. I didn't learn the alphabet until I was 6, didn't get my driver's license until I was 20, didn't graduate from college until I was 26, and didn't find the girl of my dreams until I was almost 40. I fathered a son at 48, moved to Connecticut at 50, and became a reporter and columnist at 51. Continue reading

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan police say officers have shot dead two men wearing explosives vests, foiling a planned suicide attack on a government building.
The Ministry of Interior says the shooting on Sunday morning in the southern Zabul province detonated the attackers' explosives and both died.
Separately, the ministry says more than 340 rockets have been fired in the past week from Pakistan into two east Afghan provinces.
Shells landing in Dangam district of Nuristan province destroyed six houses, two mosques and displaced at least 50 families.
The ministry says it's unclear who is firing the artillery rounds — including more than 100 that rained down Saturday night in Nuristan and Kunar provinces — but insists they are being fired from Pakistani soil.

"Slumdog" sweeps to Golden Globe victory
By Bob Tourtellotte
BEVERLY HILLS (Reuters) - Low-budget movies blew by their major studio rivals at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday as romance "Slumdog Millionaire" won a leading four honors, including best drama to give it a push in the race for Oscars.
"Slumdog," which tells of a young Indian man looking for love and competing for money on a television game show, also earned awards for director Danny Boyle, screenwriter Simon Beaufoy and composer A.R. Rahman for best musical score.
