Mobile-based browsing has tripled in the last two years, and is making significant inroads on traditional Internet access from personal computers, according to statistics from a Web metrics company.
Mobile's gains are in part a side effect of a global slump in personal computer sales as customers instead purchase smartphone and tablets, and as a result, increasingly shift their time-spent-online from PCs to mobile. Last month, mobile browser usage -- a combination of browsing from smartphones and tablets -- surged by 1.4 percentage points to account for 13.2 percent of all unique visitors to the 40,000 websites that California-based Net Applications monitors for clients.

February's jump was atop a one percentage point increase in January and a half-point gain in December. In the last three months, mobile browser usage has climbed 2.8 percentage points, representing a 26 percent upswing since Nov. 2012.
The longer trends are even more impressive: In the last 12 months, mobile browser usage has nearly doubled, and in the past 24 months has more than tripled.
Gains on the part of mobile have come at the expense of what Net Applications defines as "desktop," a category that includes both desktop and notebook PCs, primary powered by Microsoft's Windows, and Macs running Apple's OS X. Desktop browser usage dropped 3.1 percentage points in the last three months, and fell 6.3 points in the last 12.
For February, desktop browser use averaged 86.2 percent, down from 92.5 percent a year earlier. In September 2009, when Computerworld began tracking mobile browser usage -- seven months before Apple started selling its first iPad -- desktop owned 98.9 percent of the usage total.
Browser makers have not missed that trend, and in fact began emphasizing mobile long before its share doubled in 2012-2013.
Mozilla, the open-source developer of Firefox, took the bold step of building a mobile operating system based on that browser. Google, which has long relied on a basic browser for its Android operating system, ported Chrome to the platform and pinned its future in mobile on that browser.
Microsoft, with its two-pronged strategy of pushing both Windows 8 and Windows RT into mobile, created the tablet- and touch-centric Internet Explorer 10. Google also quick-kicked Chrome into Windows 8's "Modern" user interface (UI) and slapped together one for iOS as well. Mozilla is working on a Firefox for Modern, too.
But the browser that's profited the most from the rise in mobile browser usage has been Apple's Safari.
Safari, the default browser on all iOS devices -- and untouchable unless Apple relents on rules that bar rivals from the App Store or at least cripple those that are accepted -- accounted for 55.4 percent of all mobile browser used in February, leading the Android browser (with 22.8 percent) and Opera Software's Opera Mini (12.7 percent), and far, far ahead of Chrome (2 percent) and IE (1.6 percent).
Apple's mobile dominance -- Safari is used twice as much as the Android browser, even though Android smartphones and tablets outsell iOS devices by wide margins -- gave it a combined desktop-mobile share of 12 percent of all browser usage last month. Google's various desktop and mobile browsers, meanwhile, accounted for 17.3 percent of all usage, while Microsoft and Mozilla, neither with appreciable mobile share, ended February with 48.3 percent and 17.3 percent, respectively.
In plainer words, Apple's browser share of 12 percent is much closer to both Google's and Mozilla's than the desktop-only numbers indicate.
And the likely growth of mobile browser usage will only be good news for Apple, assuming Safari maintains its supremacy. If mobile continues to gain ground by its 12-month average, it will assume 20 percent of all browsing by April 2014; if the faster-paced average of the last three months continues, mobile should reach the 20 percent mark in Sept. 2013.

Cubs' Burgess hits two more homers
Former first-rounder making good impression on Daytona
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 11, 2011 7:55 PM ET
Just four games into the new campaign, he seems to be right on track.
Burgess went 3-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs to lead the Class A Advanced Daytona Cubs to an 6-5 victory over the visiting Clearwater Threshers.
He has four longballs in 16 at-bats, and all but one of his hits have left the ballpark.
"I'm seeing the ball pretty well in the beginning of the season," Burgess said. "I hit a lot of singles and doubles at the start of last year, but I feel like I'm driving the ball better now."
The 22-year-old outfielder slugged a two-run shot to center field in the bottom of the second inning, and he beat out an infield single to third base with one away in the fourth.
"In the second inning, I got a couple pitches that I fouled back that I really should have put in play, but it worked out for the best," he said. "He served up a 2-2 fastball and I was able to throw my hands to it and drive it to center."
Burgess flied out to right in the sixth, but plated the eventual game-winner in the seventh with a three-run blast off Jordan Whatcott.
"In the seventh, I just wanted to wait for a pitch I could drive or elevate because we were down by one. The first pitch was a changeup away for a strike and then I thought I checked my swing, but they said it was strike two. I stepped out and took a deep breath, and he gave me an 0-2 changeup down that I hit out."
Selected by the Nationals 49th overall in the 2007 Draft, Burgess entered Monday's game batting .167 (2-for-12), but he said he's been more concerned with adjusting to playing a new position than his batting average.
"It was only a matter of time until the hits started to come," he added. "I really want to work on playing left field, because this is my first season there. This team hasn't really seen me yet, so first impressions really mean a lot."
Acquired by the Cubs in January in the deal that sent Tom Gorzelanny to Washington, Burgess batted .265 with 18 homers and 85 RBIs across two levels in 2010. The left-hander believes he can improve on those numbers in 2011.
"I've got to show them what I'm capable of," he said. "I want to keep working hard and then work even harder than before. The organization believes in me and I just have to have faith in myself."

We have backtracking as we search to leaves and as leaves does not always has a matching prefix. So we have to look into how semantics match can be done here instead and backtrack until we got a semantics match. Was about to test w. ipv6 to start with due to ipv4 complexity. Anyway ipv4 fib-code is cleaner now. Cheers. --ro

You can expect only the finest ingredients and performance from Nature's Baby Organics.You'd Be Surprised What's In the Innocent Looking Bottle of Baby Lotion Baby lotions and potions come packaged in cute bottles with adorable names. They smell fragrant, have creamy pastel colors and promise that they'll be gentle, mild, protective and hypoallergenic. Some even promise to "baby your baby." You may think you're pampering your child but a look at what's in many of the most well known baby products may surprise and frighten you. What would you say if they told you that a baby lotion that is all but a household world had ingredients that: May contain harmful impurities Are potential breast cancer risks May impair fertility or development Could harm the immune system, the liver, or the kidneys May damage the nervous system Could induce itching, burning, scaling hives or blistering of the skin Could alter skin structure allowing other chemicals to reach the bloodstream, Can be highly toxic, May not be listed on the label. No One Is Looking out for You and Your BabyHow can this happen? Isn't there some government agency that oversees what we put on our babies' bodies as well as our own? Isn't SOMEONE supposed to make sure products are safe? Every consumer need to know that the government does not require health studies or pre-market testing for personal care products before they are sold. That means there is NO GUARANTEE that the chemicals in products like shampoos, conditioners, lotions, powders, mascara, etc. have been tested or regulated at all for safety, contamination, skin sensitivity, cancer risk, etc. Some shampoos even contain colors additives that have NOT been approved for use around the eyes or have not been approved in products intended for eyes. You can't be sure that what's in these products you use on your baby, your family or yourself is safe. The government approves seven new chemicals a day and 80% are approved in 3 weeks or less. A manufacturer may use almost any raw material an ingredient without approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The cosmetic and personal care product industry policies itself and has reviewed the safety of less than 15% of the over 10,000 ingredients registered for use with the Environmental Protection Agency. 89% of those ingredients have not been evaluated by ANY agency responsible for our safety. Again, one of the most well known body washes by a household name in baby care has 15 ingredients that are of questionable safety. Researchers are concerned about cancer hazard, reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, irritation and toxic chemicals. You absorb up to 60& of any substance applied to your skin. Your baby is even more vulnerable. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and private research, babies and small children are anywhere from 10 to 60 percent more sensitive to most chemicals than adults. We're all even more at risk because of penetration enhancers that help these other ingredients penetrate the skin and enter your blood stream. 57% of products contain these "penetration enhancers. " No one knows yet at how much and how often your baby needs to be exposed to these unnatural ingredients to be at risk. – But why risk your baby's health at all…or yours? A product that uses "Natural" in the name, doesn't guarantee natural ingredients in the bottle. "Natural" skincare products only need 1% natural ingredients to be called natural. For your baby's sake and your own, read labels and look for products that are truly natural, truly botanically based, without dangerous or untested chemicals.

Miles Davis. The name alone has become synonymous with jazz and its place in popular culture, notably the prolific years of 1949-1959 that began with Miles Davis recording what would become the Birth of the Cool and ending with the momentous Kind of Blue.
Under dramatic images depicting a remarkable era in jazz — and American history — the top-notch Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet will create an immersive production dedicated to Miles Davis. The Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959 will follow Miles' musical development in linear chronology, telling of the challenges and optimism in post-war America, civil rights struggle, historical milestones and the creative cauldron of new music that Miles pioneered and nurtured.
"What a time in American history, and in American jazz," noted Three Stages Executive Director Dave Pier. "With a fine quintet covering the creative work that lead to Kind of Blue—the best selling jazz album of all time—this is the kind of show that will satisfy the most experienced jazz fan, while introducing those new to jazz what Miles Davis meant to the art form and the culture of America. It's a pleasure to bring The Miles Davis Experience to Folsom."
The Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959 will perform in Three Stages at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Tickets are $19 & $29, with premium tickets available for $39; they are available online at threestages.net or from Three Stages Ticket Office at (916) 608-6888 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time. Three Stages is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, facing East Bidwell Street.
The Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959 is a collaboration with Blue Note Records; the Three Stages performance is sponsored by Capital Public Radio.
About Kind of Blue
It's been called "the perfect jazz album" (CNN) and, with 4 million copies sold, it's little wonder that U.S. House of Representatives recognized Miles' musical influence in 2009, passing a resolution honoring the album as a national treasure.
About the Quintet
A native of Oakland, Mr. Akinmusire won the Thelonious Monk jazz competition in 2007, which was adjudicated by Terence Blanchard, Quincy Jones, Herb Alpert, Hugh Masekela, Clark Terry and Roy Hargrove. He was declared one of 2011's "Faces to Watch" by the Los Angeles Times.
Akinmusire will be joined by the Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet, featuring Walter Smith III (tenor sax), Sam Harris (piano), Harish Raghavan (bass) and Justin Brown (drums.), plus beat poet-style narrator and actor, Donald Lacy.

Hotel at a Glance: Sandpiper House Inn
The intimate Sandpiper House Inn couldn't have a more breathtaking location. Perched on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean on California's Mendocino Coast, the view from the 1916 Craftsman-style house is so striking it has appeared on the cover of Sunset magazine. Sweeping ocean views can be enjoyed throughout the property, and ocean sounds heard in every room.
- Oceanfront location: Less than half a mile away, Greenwood State Beach is a great spot for picnics and bonfires.
- Cliff-top gardens are dotted with flowers and trees, and a cliff-top vista point offers guests a place to sit and take the views.
- Daily gourmet breakfasts are served in a breakfast room that boasts a view of the ocean and gardens.
- Luxurious rooms are uniquely decorated with antiques and feature ocean views, fireplaces, king-size beds, and private baths.
Mendocino Coast, California: Small Towns near Scenic Oceanfront and Redwood Forests
Located about three hours north of San Francisco, Northern California's Mendocino Coast is a region filled with tiny towns, art colonies, and varied terrain. Within a few minutes of one another are sunlit valleys, fertile vineyards, rocky headlands blanketed by fog, and serene forests of old-growth redwoods. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens showcase the area's geographical diversity with native rhododendrons, prickly succulents, and colorful blooms stretching to the ocean.
Partially because of its scenic land- and seascapes, the coast is popular with painters, who gather in artists' collectives such as the Mendocino Art Center. To see the land that inspires local artwork, head to Russian Gulch, Mendocino Headlands, or any of the region's coastal state parks. At Mendocino Headlands State Park, waves crash into carving arches, grottos, and stony bluffs, while MacKerricher State Park north of Fort Bragg contains dramatic sand dunes.
Although normally quiet, the region comes alive during a series of whale festivals every March and April, when California gray whales pass by the coast as they migrate from Mexico to Alaska. You'll find one of the best vantage points for whale watching at Point Cabrillo Light Station, a lighthouse first lit in 1909. Likewise, The Lighthouse at Point Arena offers visitors a view of whale migration and is surrounded by the Stornetta Headlands, which was recently made a national monument.

Here is a video of my working success:
- SanDisk 8GB microSD
- Raspberry Pi
- Standard Series HDMI to DVI Cable
- PC - with Windows or Linux
- 1080p video
- 1080p TV screen/Monitor ( I recommend Samsung 40 "LED 1080P HDTV)
There are a few different tools I found that play back HD content. The one I chose to use was called Omxplayer. From a terminal window lets install all the prerequisite applications first.
sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libva-dev libva-x11-1 libva1
After some amount of time it will finish and then next we need to install the omxplayer.
wget http://seyrsnys.myzen.co.uk/rpi/omxplayer_0.0.1-arm.deb
After it's downloaded unzip it and install
sudo dpkg -i omxplayer_0.0.1-arm.deb
And that's it!!
Playing a movie
The last part of the tutorial will be playing a movie and how to call and use the omxplayer. Make sure you have a movie file i'm using an episode of friends that is located on a flash drive (extension MKV), many other extensions work too. Here is a list of all the omxplayer options and a general how to use them.
pi@raspberrypi:~$ omxplayer --help
Usage: omxplayer [OPTIONS] [FILE]
Options :
-h / --help print this help
-a / --alang language audio language : e.g. ger
-n / --aidx index audio stream index : e.g. 1
-o / --adev device audio out device : e.g. hdmi/local
-i / --info dump stream format and exit
-s / --stats pts and buffer stats

-y / --hdmiclocksync adjust display refresh rate to match video
-t / --sid index show subtitle with index
-r / --refresh adjust framerate/resolution to video
sudo omxplayer -o local /My/Folder/MyVideoFileName.videoextension
If I was wanting to send my audio through the HDMI cable I would call something like this.
sudo omxplayer -o hdmi /MyFolder/MyVideoFileName.videoextension
And that's it, your 1080p Video will now run!! Please feel free to check out my other blogs or leave questions and comments below.

Racer Airlifted after Engine Explodes
A race car driver was airlifted to Albany Medical Center Sunday afternoon after his engine explodes in the pit area of Lebanon Valley Speedway in Columbia County.
Lebanon Valley Speedway track manager Wayne DelMonte says it happened early Sunday afternoon around 1 p.m. as Jose Santana of East Hartford, CT was tuning up his 1985 Mazda RX7 before a race. Santana suffered severe injuries to his right eye and right arm along with burns on his upper extremities and is listed in critical condition, investigators said.
The car was was to be entered in a race later in the day and it happened away from the track in a parking area while it was running, according to the State Police. Chatham Rescue, Valatie Rescue and Lebanon Valley Fire Department all assisted at the scene. Four other patients refused medical assistance.

People are being warned not approach a whale that's been spotted off the coast of Dorset as rescuers are worried the beast will get stressed out and sick.
The 2.74metre-long northern bottlenose whale has been named Gilbert after an RNLI lifeguard who spotted him swimming near Bournemouth Pier and in Poole Bay.
Rescuers fear that if Gilbert doesn't have his usual diet of squid, he'll get dehydrated, as he gets water from food.
They're trying to encourage him to swim back into the English Channel.
It's hoped he'll then swim down to the Atlantic to join the rest of his pod.
Jenny O'Connor, who's a rescuer for British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), said it's very unusual to see whales in the area.
"Gilbert should have actually have gone over Scotland and down the west coast," she said. "It is very strange to see him in Poole Bay.
"We are concerned about his welfare and are monitoring to see if he is feeding as he gets his water from his food and we are worried he may get dehydrated.
"We do not want too many boats going near him because it will make him very nervous and stressed and this could cause him medical problems."

Yup, it's an "About Me" page. Which means I should actually tell you about me!
I love to bake. I bet that isn't much of a shocker for you. I learned to bake from my mother, who learned it from her mother. In fact, to this day we get together once a year and have a crazy baking day. One year I'll take my girls.
Oddly enough, I can't cook very well unless the recipe calls for baking (like Macaroni and Cheese). I've been known to toss complete dinners from the disasters I've made. But when I bake, it comes out wonderfully (most of the time, anyway!)
In September 2010, A Year of Baking began. It's had a bit of a rocky start, not quite blogging daily, but I'm getting there. Most of the recipes would be considered dessert-type foods, although if you are looking for something for dinner, we've got a section for you too! Mostly, if you stick it in the oven and bake it, it could very well end up here.

Maravia is simply marvelous
By Hector Saldaña
Updated 10:58 a.m., Wednesday, August 29, 2012
That's a Rod Stewart microphone move if there ever was one.
"Yes, sir. That's exactly what I do. I bring my rock 'n' roll antics," said Gutierrez, 55.
"I'm the type of person that does not stay on that 'X.' I move all over the place. I dance. I move a lot. I twirl my mike stand and all the stuff I used to do (as a young rock 'n' roller). People expect to see a show, and they get a lot of energy from us."
Gutierrez admits he's not as young as he used to be. The same can be said for David Lee Roth.
"I pay for it the next day," he said with a chuckle.
Maravia, a veteran Tejano act that came on the scene more than 20 years ago with the album "Tejano Shootout," has a busy weekend with gigs at Cadillac Bar and Market Square.
Friday, the band — which includes singer-saxophonist Leroy Urrabazo, bassist Greg Palacios, keyboardist Jimmy Morin, guitarist Chris Gomez, accordionist Jerry Fuentes and drummer Joey Sanchez — plays Cadillac Bar. The music starts at 9 p.m.
After recharging its batteries, Maravia appears Monday at the 36th annual Labor Day Weekend at Market Square. The three-day event begins Saturday and includes acts such as the Spazmatics, Tejano Highway 281, Ilyssa, WidowMaker, Grupo Calle Sol and Albert Zamora. Market Square concerts are free and begin at noon.
The old-school fun should live up to the title of the band's 2009 album, "Simply Marvelous." Its latest release is "Eres La Mujer," principally co-written by Gutierrez and Urrabazo.
Maravia plays classic Tejano music that keeps the dance floor moving — cumbias and regional Mexican sounds, too.
"We like to stay with the old school. That's more or less what I write," Gutierrez explained.
"People like the old-school sound. Sometimes we get the dancing crowd, and sometimes we get the crowd that just listens and applauds. To me, it doesn't matter. If they dance, fine. If they don't, the applause itself covers everything."
Almost everyone in the band is a veteran Tejano musician. For example, Urrabazo is a former member of Ram Herrera y Montana Band.
Gutierrez, a former Marine and self-described late bloomer to the Tejano scene, took a different path to la onda.
Thirty five years ago, he joined Brown Brandy and played military installations booked by agent Dean Bell. "That's where I got my road experience," Gutierrez said.
In the '80s, he fronted the classic-rock Rozy Welz Band (the name is inspired by Wells Fargo Bank). "I liked the name Rosie, and one day I was making a delivery at Wells Fargo, and I said 'There it is.'"
Why he went with the double-Z's is, thankfully, lost to big-hair history.
These days the singer still can't help himself when it comes to spelling his band's name. Maravia really should be spelled "Maravilla."
Either way, it means wonderful or marvelous.
The Memorial High School graduate celebrates his 56th birthday at Cadillac Bar on Sept. 14. "I'll get the people singing," Gutierrez promised.

" Brand: Asos / Type: Dress "
It is safe to say I don't often get the opportunity to go out on a night out because as a single mum I don't really have the time or the spare cash to regularly go out drinking and it is not something I would want to do anyway! However, for my most recent birthday my two cousins, my sister and I decided to do a 500 mile round trip to go to Brentwood, Essex for a night out and we all decided we should go for a dress that was a bit dressier than one which we would normally wear. The dress I ended up choosing was the asos mesh strapless dress with pearl waist trim.
The dress caught my eye first and foremost as it looked more dressy than one which I would wear if I were to be going out more locally. It is a cream coloured strapless mini dress which features a trim a little under the bust which is decorated with pearls and other little beads which looks quite glamorous I think. I have to say that on the website the dress is shown in black as well and if I had been able to order it in black I would have but it wasn't, and still isn't available in black for some reason.
The dress features a silky inside lining which is then covered by the overlaying mesh. The silky inside lining is certainly shorter than the mesh lining by an inch or so but even with the mesh lining the dress came above my knee but wasn't too short that I felt uncomfortable. I would say the mesh upper layer does give you that extra feeling of security for someone like me who isn't really all that comfortable in a dress. The mesh isn't a harsh feeling mesh either and it is actually quite soft and floaty I think. The dress is actually made from 100% polyester but it doesn't feel or look cheap in my opinion at all.
The dress is a bandeau style and features ruched detail to the bust area which I think adds to the whole look of the dress as well. It is very simple in its look yet it looks quite elegant and trendy at the same time. I would say that the dress is pretty much true to size and it is easy to put on for the most part by putting it over your head and sliding it down in to position, my only real issue was because my boobs are quite big it was tricky to get the dress in to place initially but once there it was fine. The dress is available in sizes 6 to 18 and so there is an option for a good range of sizes I think there.
You can machine wash this dress with like colours but I would advise popping it in to some sort of care bag or something as when I washed mine some of the pearls on the waist band seemed to droop and whilst the dress is still fine it is frustrating for me. You cannot iron the mesh part of the dress but you can turn it inside out and iron the inner part which smoothes most of the front too. Initially I was very concerned about transporting the dress to Essex that it would become creased in my case but I hung it on a hanger as soon as we got in the hotel and it seemed to be fine by the time we needed to get ready to go out.
The dress is available on the asos website for £45 but I had an offer for 20% off when I bought it making it a much more reasonable price. I do think this is a nice dress for a special occasion though and as it features a full skirt with pleat detail I think it is quite good at hiding any lumps and bumps too personally.
Thank you for reading my review!

Regional Reviews: Washington, D.C.
Lenny & Lou
Among Washington area theaters, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company is known for its bold productions of outrageous, often slightly absurd family comedies. Lenny & Lou, the opening production of Woolly's silver anniversary season, fits neatly into this niche, visceral and outspoken as directed by Tom Prewitt and acted by five performers totally committed to the material.
Playwright Ian Cohen has created a claustrophobic world of two brothers and their mother, tied together by circumstance as well as blood. Echoing the sense of connection among the characters is scenic designer Anne Gibson's backdrop of a New York City subway map, representing the circulatory system of the city; set changes involve stagehands dressed in orange safety vests, and oblique shafts of light (designed by Adam Magazine) suggesting the view in a subway tunnel.
Lenny Feinstein (Howard Shalwitz) works in a bank while trying to succeed as a singer-songwriter, and his younger brother Lou (Michael Russotto) is a staid accountant. Their mother, Fran (the sublime Nancy Robinette), suffers from dementia and places constant demands on their lives, ignoring the long-suffering home health care aide, Sabrina (Erika Rose), who visits each day.
Cohen delineates the loving but combative relationship between the brothers immediately. When Lenny complains about his mother's unreasonable request for him to bring her a bunch of bananas in the middle of the night, Lou empathizes, calling her a selfish bitch, but when Lenny calls his brother by his childhood nickname "Louie," the empathy vanishes and the brothers begin fighting.
Another link in the chain that binds mother to sons is that Fran has always acted in an inappropriate way toward Lenny and Lou - calling one son "lover," for example, and threatening to show her caesarean scar to the other when he talks back to her. Lenny has rebelled by marrying Julie Riggio (Jennifer Mendenhall), who has a taste for violence - sexual and otherwise. Lou, meanwhile, has never been able to maintain a relationship with a woman.
With a situation this fraught, something is going to happen, and shortly it does. Before long, the brothers' lives are a shambles, a situation echoed in the wreckage they leave as they ransack their mother's apartment.
Prewitt keeps the pace rapid, aided throughout by fight choreographer John Gurski. Both probably worked on the staging of an epic (but not explicit) sex scene between Shalwitz and Mendenhall that inspires both laughs and gasps.
Shalwitz is a master of very barely suppressed hysteria, and Russotto is hilarious as the "normal" man faced with a situation he can't control. Robinette can do wonders with just her wide eyes, wounded and flirtatious by turns, and her detached serenity in the midst of madness. Mendenhall's brassiness and Rose's determination to follow the rules add to the total picture.
The complexity of Gibson's set design only becomes apparent as the play moves; its modular pieces create a succession of settings, ultimately revealing the accumulated details of Fran's life. The props collected by Annica Graham do a magnificent job of bringing Fran's grim apartment to life, from precious china figurines to fading photographs of family members no one remembers.
Lenny & Lou, which runs through Sept. 26, is a worthy addition to Woolly Mammoth's gallery of grotesques who may be only a few degrees of sanity away from some of the people in the audience.

A New Malden mother whose baby has a rare eye cancer is taking a stand tonight, writes Sam Petherick.
Abigail Wheatcroft is taking part in the Carrots Nightwalk around London at 7pm to raise money for Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT).
Her 19-month-old daughter, Amelia, suffers from the same rare eye cancer retinoblastoma that she and her father suffered in infancy.
It affects roughly 50 people in the UK each year and may cause blindness if not treated early.
Ms Wheatcroft said:"I want to help raise money for CHECT to carry on with the amazing work they are doing supporting families and raising awareness of this condition."
Carrots Nightwalk is taking place in three other cities tonight – Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow.
Over the last two years its participants raised over £200,000 from walking around London.

People Before Profit to move Bill to ban fracking in the Dáil once it resumes
People Before Profit MLA, Gerry Carroll and TD, Richard Boyd Barrett condemn moves to initiate fracking in Co Antrim and warned if test drills go ahead it could open the door for fracking North and South. The statement comes after NI Waters decision to allow Infrastrata to begin drilling for oil just 380 metres away from Woodburn reservoir in Co Antrim. This could lead to UK company, Tramboran, attempting to drill in Fermanagh, which in turn, could lead to fracking in Leitrim and Cavan. read full story / add a comment

An investigation into felling at Castleforbes Estate County Longford by the Forest Service after a complaint from FIE in early April confirmed reports of the great spotted woodpecker drumming in the woods scheduled for felling but officials refused to halt the work because no nests were found. Other bird recorded in the Castleforbes Estate include the owl and the kestrel, harrier, and the cuckoo[TL1] . The badger, fox, pine martin, hedgehog, stoat and red squirrel are also present, the latter returning and flourishing only in the last 10 years. read full story / add a comment

A cross party group of TDs have expressed concern at the jailing of two political activists, Sean Doyle and Eamonn McGrath. Both men have been remanded in custody until the 21st of May and 24th of June respectively for taking part in a peaceful protest in Kilcoole. Sean was arrested after being assaulted by an individual in front of Gardai while his attacker went unpunished. The same attacker then viciously pushed a woman to the ground. The Gardaí present saw fit to arrest the protesters for trespass while they gently escorted the assailant away. No charges have been brought against this man. The continuation of the political policing of the Irish Water protests exposes the Garda, yet again, as a force used to protect the status quo at the expense of ordinary people. read full story / add a comment

In Dublins Temple Bar, within gunshot of the General Post Office, a diverse band of Irish citizen actors are planning to strike a blow against war and imperialism and for Irish freedom. This is not a costumed re-enactment of the 1916 Easter Rising but an act of contemporary revolutionary theatre, where the audience for the epic 1970s play the Non Stop Connolly Show, by Margaretta DArcy and John Arden, become the cast. Each lunchtime between 27 April and 12 May, volunteers muster at Connolly Books to take reading parts in the play which covers the life, struggles and death of James Connolly. Not only has the fourth wall been broken down, but the spirit of text has spurred solidarity action by the players in support of Maura Harrington, jailed in Mountjoy on Friday for her opposition to Shells rape of the the West of Ireland countryside. read full story / add a comment

Amsterdam, 2 May 2016 - www.ttip-leaks.org Today Greenpeace Netherlands releases secret documents of the EU-US TTIP negotiations. On www.ttip-leaks.org the documents will be made available for everyone to read, because democracy needs transparency.
These documents make clear the scale and scope of the trade citizens of the United States and the European Union are being asked to make in pursuit of corporate profits. It is time for the negotiations to stop, and the debate to begin.
Should we be able to act when we have reasonable grounds to believe our health and wellbeing is at risk, or must we wait until the damage is done?
Were our governments serious in Paris when they said they would do what was necessary to protect the planet, and keep climate change under 1.5 degrees?

The controversial trade deal being negotiated between the EU and the US could spell disaster for EU farming and particularly for the Irish beef sector, according to a new report from Friends of the Earth Europe.
The report Trading away EU farmers reviews modelling studies carried out in the EU and US on the impacts of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The report concludes that TTIP will massively increase imports from the US, while having far fewer benefits for EU producers. Studies foresee a decline of up to 0.8% for EU agricultures contribution to gross domestic product, while US agriculture's contribution to it will increase by 1.9% - a net trade benefit to US interests of over 4 billion euros. read full story / add a comment

Weekly police raids, harsh living conditions, constant threaths of violence, arrest and detention by authorities, these are just some of the things that more than a thousand children in the Netherlands have to deal with. As part of refugee families whose asylum application has been turned down by the Dutch state, these children live in family camps spread over the country. Even though in the last years different organizations have campaigned against these human right violations and studies have pointed out the intense emotional harm these children face, the Dutch state has done nothing but building a new prison for refugee families who are about to be deported. At this point several families have formed a collective with political activists. Next to local demonstrations at the family camps, they call out for international support to pressure the Dutch state to end the violations of the childrens rights and those of their families. read full story / add a comment

Coal producers found themselves in the spotlight on a combination of takeover speculation and unseasonably wet weather.
Reports that Rio Tinto was going to make a $3.55 billion takeover offer for
Riversdale, which has coking coal operations in Mozambique, confirmed it had had discussions with Rio regarding a potential offer of $15 a share. There is no certainty that a deal will be completed.
Shares in the potential target closed at $14.10 on Friday, but soared 15.7 per cent on Monday to $16.31.
Rio Tinto's move is an attempt by the world's third largest mining company to increase its exposure to coking coal – a commodity in high demand in both India and China, used in the manufacture of steel.
The prospect of M&A activity helped offset other concerns around coal companies, specifically that earnings could come under pressure as unseasonably wet weather around coalfields hampers production.
Heavy rainfall on Australia's east coast has prompted Goldman Sachs to downgrade coal production forecasts for
"Given that the wet weather has persisted, we haven taken a cautious view with production and shipments for the remainder of this quarter and particularly for the March 2011 quarter," Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Goodwill said.
"The March quarter is particularly vulnerable for the Queensland mines and this year the companies have been unable to build stocks and advance stripping due to the wet weather currently being experienced."
Shares in BHP Billiton have advanced 3.6 per cent this year, Coal & Allied is up by 43.8 per cent, Macarthur has put on 12 per cent and Whitehaven is up 32.9 per cent.
December is expected to be one of the wettest months on record in NSW and this is likely to have a knock-on effect for coalmining in the Hunter Valley.
The Bowen Basin in Queensland could also suffer a similar fate as the wet season grips the country's north end.
In November, Queensland and NSW coal-producing regions had at least 100 millimetres of rainfall.
BHP Billiton's coal production out of Queensland is expected to be 6.9 million tonnes in the December quarter, down from 8.5 million tonnes in September. For
Macarthur Coal's shipment estimates have been revised down to 4.5 million tonnes from 5 million tonnes for the period, while Goldman Sachs has made a minor adjustment to Whitehaven's production forecasts.
"The impacts of the wet weather were a general theme at the September quarter results across the coal stocks and coal divisions of BHP and Rio," the broker said.
"At the time, the impact had been fairly minimal on production and particularly shipments as the mines had generally either good coal stockpiles and/or had flexibility in the mines with the waster stripping well advanced."
That may not be the case in the December quarter, but there is a silver lining to the cut in production – a possible rise in coal prices.
"At this stage we have not made any coal-price forecast changes but reduced production obviously increases the risk of a tighter coking coal market and spiking prices," the broker said.
"We remain bullish on coking coal and see the commodity as longer duration at above long-term prices than iron ore."
The positive outlook provides a solid backdrop for BHP Billiton, Macarthur and, in the longer-term, Aston Resources and Riversdale, the broker said.

Most diners wrongly assume the seafood they are served in restaurants comes are fished from Australian waters, and need to be "protected from deception", the seafood industry says.
Nearly three-quarters of the seafood consumed by Australians is shipped from overseas, leading seafood producers told a parliamentary committee examining country of origin labelling laws.
In the case of barramundi, a national favourite, 60 per cent of the 20,000 tonnes savoured by Australians each year is sourced from foreign fisheries, research by the Australian Barramundi Farmers Association showed.
The heads of four major seafood bodies, including the National Seafood Industry Alliance, want seafood labelling laws to be extended to the restaurant industry, which is exempt.
Country of origin information should be published next to seafood dishes on menus so that consumers can be "protected from deception", they said.
"When people order barramundi, they just think it's Australian," said Scott Wiseman of the Seafood Industry Alliance. "There's a requirement to know the fish species, but not whether it's Australian. They have the right to make a full purchasing decision."
Confusion also runs rampant with popular seafood such as red emperor, whiting, flathead, Spanish mackerel, prawns and squid, the Northern Territory Seafood Council said. "This list goes on, all species produced within Australia and assumed by the consumer to be Australian product."
But John Hart, chief executive of the Restaurant and Catering industry group, said it would be "onerous and expensive" for eateries to provide the information.
"It would cost $300 million per annum to introduce such a change," he told the committee, referring to costs linked with updating menus, reconfiguring back-end systems and maintaining compliance. "The menu would read more like a book, having labelling provisions for every ingredient."
Restaurateurs seldom, if at all, specified which country they wanted their seafood from when placing orders with suppliers, he said.
"They rarely say, 'I want to order 20 kilos of Australian prawns'. They would ring up and say, 'I want 20 kilograms of 60/90 prawns'."
Helen Jenkins of the Australian Prawn Farmers Association said the Northern Territory had successfully applied labelling of origin laws to all its food sectors, including restaurants, in 2008. It remains the only jurisdiction to do so.
"It's time for uniformity across Australia," she said. "We'd like it to be legislated."
Mr Hart from Restaurant and Catering conceded that the NT law had become accepted after "a rocky road to start with", but firmly rejected the call for a nationwide rollout.
He said research of dining behaviour showed the country of origin of a product did not feature among the top factors that swayed purchasing decisions.
"We ranked a number of different factors, included origin, local produce, nutritional content. They were the eighth, ninth order issues. Primary order issue was the quality of product," he said.
The seafood industry was represented by Marty Phillips of the Australian Barramundi Farmers Association, Ms Jenkins of the Australian Prawn Farmers Association, Rob Fish of the Northern Territory Seafood Council and Mr Wiseman of the National Seafood Industry Alliance.

Blokes are us
Page Tools
You sexy things: Brett Craig (Peter Rowsthorn), left, and Kel Knight (Glenn Robbins). Photo: Simon Schluter
Sensitive, sharply dressed and sausage-loving, the men from Fountain Lakes are the envy of millions. Kel Knight and Brett Craig take Richard Jinman behind the brick veneer of Kath & Kim.
You can sense Kel Knight even before you see him. He positively crackles with electricity, thanks, in part, to his preference for synthetic fibres.
Dropping into a chair at an upmarket cafe at Melbourne's Fountain Gate shopping centre, Knight looks tanned, relaxed and fit. He's even more of a hunk o' spunk in the flesh than he appears on television - a walking advertisement for the Ski-Time Buttock and Thigh Toner.
Kel has an opinion on everything and he isn't afraid to share it. If the subject is meat, barbecues or his glamorous wife, Kath, the flow of words is like a lawn sprinkler turned to the highest setting.
Ten minutes later, Brett Craig arrives, slightly out of breath. He thought we were meeting at the Nutshack, he explains. Craig has got a lot on his mind, what with baby Epponnee Rae and his IT career at Computacity hitting top gear. He acknowledges his "career projectory" is due almost entirely to Kim, his lovely wife. He's very much the Captain to her Tennille.
Kel and Brett order a round of toffee-nut lattes and fingerbuns and we get down to business.
Finally, an exclusive chat with the "it blokes of Australian television". A rare chance to find out how these two unassuming Australian men cope with fame, adulation and, of course, marriage to the nation's horniest hornbags.
QUESTION Gentlemen, thanks for agreeing to this exclusive interview. Do you remember when the two of you first met?
KEL KNIGHT I'm not sure but I think it was a barbecue at Kath's (this was before we were married). I was hard at it over the hot rocks and Brett gave me a hand. I had the flipper, he had the tongs. We just sort of clicked.
BRETT CRAIG I'll never forget the look on Kel's face when he first met Kimmy. She's amazing looking, sure, but I think Kel nearly cried. Mind you, the first thing she did was look him up and down and say, "Eeeewww, revolting."
Q Kel, what were your first impressions of Brett?
KEL Kath says that Brett and I are yin and yang. I think that means we both like Chinese food. Brett's a switched-on sort of guy. He knows as much about technology as I do meat. And we have another thing in common: two beautiful wives - er, not each; I don't believe in that sort of thing.
Q Brett, did you hit it off with Kel from the start?
BRETT Oh yeah. Kel's a great bloke with a cutting-edge personality, plus A-grade sausage skills. What's not to like?
Q Gentleman, give me three words to best describe yourselves?
KEL Happy, devoted, in love - sorry, that's four, isn't it?
Effortless style: Brett Craig (Peter Rowsthorn), left, and Kel Knight (Glenn Robbins). Photo: Simon Schluter; suits courtesy of Spurling Formalwear, http://www.spurling.com.au
BRETT Luke. Warm. Water.
Q I know you have many fans across Australia but I'm wondering if you think Kath and Kim have hogged the spotlight a little? I mean, the show isn't called Kel & Brett, is it?
KEL Kath loves the spotlight and that's fine with me. It's a give-and-take situation. I mean at my Purveyor of Fine Meats shop I'm in the spotlight and that's fine with her. I can honestly say that fame would never come between us and neither would my sausages.
BRETT Kel and I singing Lady Bump at the AFL Grand Final? I don't think so. No, Kimmy and Mrs D. have handled the situation with total class and poise. All we can do is sit back and watch our hornbags weave their magic.
Q How have your lives changed as a result of the show?
BRETT Not at all, really. People have always laughed at Kimmy and me when we've been down at the shops or out and about.
Q Now that you've become national celebrities, can you imagine leaving Fountain Lakes? Isn't it the dream of so many successful Melburnians to pack up and move to Sydney?
KEL Our roots are well and truly in Melbourne and always will be.
BRETT Sydney looks great on the telly, on Home and Away and stuff, but Cujo [the family dog] doesn't travel well. She tends to get a bit disorientated and aggressive once she's out of Fountain Lakes. Same applies to Kim, really.
Q Kel, you've influenced the way a lot of Australian men dress. How would you describe your look?
KEL I like to stay in touch. Now that I'm a married man, I have to "team with the theme", as Kath would say. For special occasions, Kath makes a selection and lays it on the bed while I'm in the shower. She's great like that. Her selections are fetching, eye-catching and smart, all at the same time. And that's what I'm aiming for.
Q Brett, would you say you're less interested in fashion and personal grooming than Kel?
BRETT Fair chance, yeah. But just look at the fashion photo shoot we did for you - what's the point of competing with Kel? He blows me out of the water.
Q Kel, being a gourmet butcher extraordinaire, what attracted you to meat?
KEL I've loved sausages since I was a kid. I just feel good with a load of sausage mince in my hand. I guess I'm just lucky that I've found my calling.
Q What's Kath's favourite cut?
KEL Easy - chicken feet.
Q Turning to you, Brett: you now work in the world of high technology at Computacity, but were you always plugged in?
BRETT Oh, absolutely, anything electronic I've always loved. As a teenager you could always find me in my bedroom tinkering with my bits.
Q Kel, you make no secret of your satisfying sex life. What are your feelings about the efficacy of Viagra?
KEL Viagra is not a four-letter word, if you know what I mean. Kath's shoulder pads are all I need ... end of story.
Q Brett, what have you learned from Kel about the art of love?
BRETT Heaps. Way too much, really. Kel might describe a certain move and because we're in the room next door, you can hear it being put into action. Pretty disturbing, really.
Q So what makes a great suburban lover?
BRETT Luck and a dozen Russkies.
Q Can you name the one special song that gets you and your ladies in the mood.
KEL Wind Beneath My Wings is very special for Kath and I. We're a perfect combo. If Kath's got the wings, I've got the wind.
BRETT That's another tough one 'cause, due to Kimmy's mood swings, it can get pretty tricky choosing a special song. But I do sometimes strike it lucky if I put on one of the excellent Hooked On series. You know, Hooked on Classics, Hooked on Pop, Hooked on Polka...
Q Do you consider yourself metrosexuals?
KEL I'm not sure what metrosexual means. But I am very metro. For example, I've got two Melways [a Melbourne street directory] - one in the car and one at work for home deliveries - and I'm very sexual, though not on the job. I guess that means I'm a metro-sexual.
BRETT: No, not me. I've always been pretty shy about having sex on transport.
Q Brett, Kim's a nationally renowned hornbag, obviously, but are you turned on by her mind as well as her body?
BRETT Her mind wins hands down every time. Her body is a distant second.
Q Brett, there's been industry gossip that you once tried to take out an AVO on Kim. Is that true?
BRETT Yeah, it's true. Kim was really nice to me for two days and I thought there was something up.
Q Guys, it must be hard living with the cameras in your face every day. Are there moments you don't want to share?
BRETT Yeah, plenty, but they just show it anyway.
Q Everyone has temptations in their life. Has either of you ever been tempted to stray?
KEL Hey, why go out for hamburger when you've got fillet at home?
Q Brett, please accept our congratulations on becoming a dad to Epponnee Rae. Had you been hoping for a boy or a girl?
BRETT Didn't matter as long as it looks like Kimmy.
Q What kind of mother is Kim?
BRETT She's so selfless and caring. It isn't too much of a stretch for her.
Q Here's a hypothetical question, Brett: if you were sent to a desert island and could only take Kim or your dog, Cujo, who would you choose?
BRETT Wow, that's tough, too. Probably Kim 'cause she'll live longer.
Q Is it true, as high-profile Melburnians, that you're going to be the official mascots at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games?
BRETT Bretty Bunyip and Kel Koala - sounds like hoo-ha to me.
KEL But Kath does have some very interesting outfits that she likes to dress up in for me at home.
Q Are you going to continue your television careers after Kath & Kim?
BRETT Not me, no way. But Kimmy? Without a doubt. Hopefully there'll be a management role for me.
Q Who are the men you most admire?
BRETT Mark Waugh. Steve Waugh. Silverchair.
KEL Kath and I both love Ian Hewitson. We just love what he does with meat.
Q Can you imagine your lives without Kath and Kim?
KEL No way, Jose!
BRETT I'm sure if Kimmy left - again - I'd be devastated for days. But I'm a pretty tough guy. I'd probably push through it and end up incredibly happy with Cujo and someone else.
The third series of Kath & Kim is screening on Thursdays at 8.30pm on ABC Television.
