Coalville Vacation Packages
Coalville is near many of Leicestershire's well-known sights. The Ashby de la Zouch Castle and the St Mary and St Hardulph Church are amongst the popular sights here, adored by locals and visitors alike. Two other recommended attractions that are located close by Coalville are Melbourne Hall and the Melbourne Parish Church.
Walkers Stadium, Leicester is a great place cheer along with fellow lovers of soccer, and to see local heroes, the Leicester City F.C., in all their glory. On match days follow the procession of blue and white, to the stadium, then after the final whistle blows, join fellow sports lovers at a nearby pub, bar or cafe and relive the games finest moments over a few cold beers.
For a real taste of Coalville, think about staying at one of the area's hotel or serviced apartment options. If you're looking for a warm welcome and a good nights sleep it's hard to go past the Burleigh Court Hotel, Loughborough, the Link Hotel Loughborough, and the Radisson Blu Hotel East Midlands Airport, Derby.

Looking into the Wind
Nicholas Mukomberanwa and Son
The acclaimed African artist Mukomberanwa credited his childhood spent in a rural environment "surrounded by mountains and rivers with places full of trees" as the fundamental influence on his work. His work is characterized by sharp lines and hard planes used with confidence alongside sweeping curves and deeply etched surfaces. Springstone is a type of serpentine found in Zimbabwe.
For the Young (and Young at Heart)
Look into the wind. How might the wind "carve" shapes into you? What would the shapes look like? Do you see these shapes in this work?

She was in transit from the Jordanian capital, Amman, when she was taken off a Delta flight to Cincinnati.
It later transpired that she was "a young lady with an unusual jacket", with wires and a battery used to heat it, a US official said.
The woman, a French national, was cleared to travel on a later flight to Cincinnati.
When Delta flight 43 arrived at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky an hour late at 1554EST (2054GMT), it was subject to "additional screening", even though the woman was not on board.
The plane was held in an area away from the terminal building, passengers were questioned and all baggage was checked, in what one US official called an "abundance of caution".
There were 184 passengers and 12 crew on board.
'Unusual jacket'
The woman first came to the attention of security officials at Charles de Gaulle airport when her leather motorcycle jacket aroused suspicion.
The French authorities then told US security officials that the woman had been taken off the flight.
She was questioned briefly and her baggage was thoroughly searched. She had no police record.
Delta said that it was "co-operating fully with federal security agencies" over the alert.
There were conflicting reports that the Boeing 767 was escorted by fighter jets as it entered US air space.
One man waiting for the flight to arrive at Cincinnati said his son on board the plane had reported seeing jet fighters escorting for the plane for about 40 minutes over the Atlantic Ocean, and then pulling away when the plane crossed over New York state.
British Airways has cancelled two flights from London to Washington in the past week, due to security fears, and three Air France flights from Paris to Los Angeles were cancelled over Christmas.

Like last year the university of Aachen helped us organize the Crystal Space conference. It was again a great success. The weather was nice (sometimes a bit too nice) and about 40-50 people attended. On the organizational side we decided to do things a bit differently this year. We now had two tracks: a user track with demos and talks that are useful to people who use Crystal Space and CEL, and a developers track. This last track was more informal with several of the devs talking about an important subject in Crystal Space. In these talks we made plans and discussed things to do in the future.
This conference wouldn't have been possible without the organizational help of the university of Aachen (the ZLW/IMA RWTH-Aachen department) and the financial help of the sponsors: CAE, Software and Support Verlag (software-support.biz), ZLW/IMA (www.zlw-ima.rwth-aachen.de), and RWTH Aachen (www.rwth-aachen.de). So a lot of thanks to these companies! I especially want to thank Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Henning for giving us the permission to organize this conference and of course Uschi Rick and Mareike Lueken for doing the actual organization before and during the conference.
One of the important highlights of this conference was the presence of Ton Roosendaal (project manager of Blender. He wanted to talk to us about the new Apricot project. This is going to be a collaborative project between Blender and Crystal Space. You can read more details about this project here.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - The Irish government, seeking to return fully to bond markets and move on from its international bailout, said on Tuesday it would not be put off track by any euro zone uncertainty stemming from Italy's election.
Actions by European partners, in particular the European Central Bank's pledge to buy bonds if needed, were still in place.
"There is a store of confidence that has been built up in the past 12 months from the ECB's move and other moves from the euro zone. We (Europe) can withstand any shock," Ireland's junior finance minister Brian Hayes told Reuters.
"We can't ignore it, but at the same time we can't over-react. There is a strong resolve in Ireland, and a strong resolve in markets as well, that Ireland is going to get back to the markets in a long term way."
Italy's inconclusive election result sent European shares tumbling and kicked bond yields higher in vulnerable debtor countries on the euro zone periphery, including Ireland.
Spanish and Portuguese debt was hit harder than Ireland's on Tuesday, however. Portugal's 10-year yield was around 6.6 percent and Spain's 5.4 percent. Ireland's was 3.9 percent, albeit up 20 basis points since the Italian election.
The new Italy-triggered chapter in the euro zone's debt crisis is also unlikely to cause any immediate concern to Ireland because its debt agency is just 6.5 billion euros shy of funding itself for the whole of 2014 after taking advantage of falling yields over the past 12 months.
At least one analyst did say, however, that the uncertainty over Italy may be enough to put on hold plans to issue a new 10-year bond that many expected would swiftly follow a key bank debt deal with the European Central Bank earlier this month.
"Irish yields are not going to be at the centre of this wave but we're not going to avoid the contagion. We have consistently said that the risks to Ireland are external and the external risks prevail. That was our fear the whole time," said Ryan McGrath, a bond dealer at Dublin-based Dolmen Stockbrokers.
"With the backdrop of uncertainty, market conditions may not be conducive to the NTMA (National Treasury Management Agency) coming to the market in the short term. I'm not saying they won't, it'll just be a lot more difficult."

Forget About What Others Think About You
"Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?" Apostle Paul.
We're afraid of making enemies. Afraid of conflict. Afraid of disagreements.
So we write, speak, record in a safety net.
We work hard to please as many people as possible. If we don't, we might get a negative comment. A hateful email. A bad tweet.
And then…
How in the world will we control perception? How will we control what other people think about us? How will we remain liked by the masses?
When Paul wrote, "Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth," he wasn't trying to be mean or brash or harsh. He was trying to be helpful. He wasn't thinking about himself, but of his audience. He was writing in their best interest even if it cost him some likes.
If we are going to engage our audience to the max, then we need to…
Share Need Over Want
I want to eat the donut and bacon. I need to eat the grilled chicken. I'm fat because I choose the first and promise myself the second later.
What's bad for me tastes GREAT. What's good for me is OK but I don't crave it.
We've got to stop giving in to the cravings of the crowd. Almost every blogger, writer and speaker on the planet is boring because they focus on giving people what they want.
Why? Because they want to be liked, applauded , agreed with, and affirmed.
Listen, our audience is not our therapist. We are here to serve them. They are not here to heal us. So stop worrying so much about what others think about you and give your people your best. Share what will help them the most. Even if you make a few enemies along the way.

No Limits for The Limit Club
It has to be said: the AZ music scene suffers from a severe lack of spookiness. Perhaps its the overabundance of sunshine or scarcity of graveyards, but in the greater Phoenix metro area, its hard to get rocked in that this music could very well be sucking the blood from your major arteries sort of way. Thankfully, The Limit Club is more than willing to carry the Phoenix gothabilly torch through zombie-infested catacombs and into your wildest dreams -- er, nightmares. Guitarist/vocalist Nick Feratu and upright bassist Cadaverous Joel have been crafting eerily danceable tunes since 2005, citing a broad spectrum of influences from The Damned to Ricky Nelson to Nick Cave. Since their first full-length album, God Damn The Limit Club (2007), Feratu and Joel have recruited a new, too-rock-n-roll-to-sit-down drummer, Juan Carlos, enabling the boys to tour relentlessly. Thus far, The Limit Club has spent 2008 storming the local scene with explosive live performances. Having completed recording for its second full-length studio album, this terrifying trio is taking it to the limit
and beyond. Show Creeps, EDVIS, Metal Elvis, Rhythm Dragons, and Creepsville 666 are also scheduled to perform.

Best Foot Forward
Black Tracker is a 1990s ABC documentry about the late police officer and tracker Sergeant Riley produced by the late Michael Riley. At its wrap up there is a beautiful piece of classsical music which then lasts throughout the creidts. The name of the music is not in the credits. ...
Lester Bostock is best known and respected for his work in the industry of Indigenous Film, Television and Radio. His guidance for young filmmakers and his tenacity and strength has contributed to the large number of Indigenous filmmakers in the industry today. Like so many of his generation, he came from humble beginnings and despite personal hardship he was active in taking up the fight for Indigenous rights and has always put his best foot forward.
In the seventies, energy was taken up in being a part of the group that founded many of the Aboriginal organisations in Sydney and later in Brisbane. His passion for the arts showed as one of the founding members of Black Theatre. The group would get together and talk about ideas and they found the areas that they were keen to be a part of by chance. Gerry Bostock liked to write and so, therefore, began to write scripts. Lester organised people and therefore became the Producer.
The creative outbursts were a part of the street theatre era of Australias political statements. But, due to the money being used for the agencies such as the Aboriginal Medical Service and the Aboriginal Housing Service, Black Theatre as important as it was slowly gave way to the greater causes.
Lester moved to Brisbane in the middle of the seventies to help establish the sister organisations in Queensland.
When Lester returned to Sydney in the early eighties, he felt that the voice of our People needed to be heard and therefore gathered with a group of people to get up Radio Redfern. He was asked by a newly formed TV/Radio Station SBS to come on board as the Aboriginal voice in their multicultural station.
Due to SBS having a dual station, Lesters natural progression was to be involved in Television. He was part of the team in the first Aboriginal TV show with Rhoda Roberts and later was Associate Producer on the documentary The Lousy Little Sixpence. In the late eighties, he was looking around for an Aboriginal crew to do a documentary when he realised that there werent many Aboriginal people trained in the areas of production. He began to write policies for protocols in filming in Aboriginal communities and then policies for employment at SBS and at this time he started to push for training in television for Indigenous People.
By the nineties, he had gathered a strategy together enough to approach AFTRS to hold a short course in accelerated training in Television and, after two years of the course running successfully, he moved the training to MetroScreen, to do a community based training scheme. He was so involved with MetroScreen that he became President of the organisation for six years. His mentorship scheme, which he believes strongly in, brought about a new series of short dramas from new emerging filmmakers.
Although he still has a passion for telling stories and helping the younger generation to have a voice in the media today, he has always maintained a link to the other interests in his life, such as land rights, health care, care for elderly and equality for people with disabilities.
His strength is a continuing support of his family and friends and the energy that they all bring to one another through the triumphs that they have shared together.

Transcript of ProgramRACHAEL MAZA, PRESENTER: Hello, and welcome to Message Stick. I'm Rachael Maza.
LESTER BOSTOCK is best known and respected for his work in the industry of Indigenous radio, television and film. His guidance for young film-makers, tenacity and strength have contributed to the large number of Indigenous film-makers in the industry today. And like so many of his generation, he comes from humble beginnings, and, despite personal hardships, was active in taking up the fight for Indigenous rights, and has always put his best foot forward.
AWARD PRESENTER: The award goes to...Lester...Bostock.
MAN: During his time he's been a theatre administrator and producer and, in fact, produced the first Aboriginal-run radio program in Sydney.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK, SISTER OF LESTER BOSTOCK: I always say about Lester, well, there are visionary people and there are people that are destroyers. He's a visionary person.
LESTER BOSTOCK, INDIGENOUS FILM AND TELEVISION VISIONARY: What we done we done because we reacted to a need.
GERRY BOSTOCK, BROTHER OF LESTER BOSTOCK: He will get up on the soapbox, but only as a last resort. And he has been like that all his life. He strives for excellence.
LESTER BOSTOCK: The legacy will be what you do in the future. I thank you. I was born at Coraki in northern NSW at the Box Ridge Aboriginal Mission Station there. My early schooling was at the mission school. One of my vivid memories of that is being lined up every morning, all of us kids being lined up, and made to take a tablespoon full of cod-liver oil every morning before we went into the class. And then every morning all the kids' heads were checked for lice. But the cod-liver oil one, I haven't eaten...I haven't had cod-liver oil since then and I hate cod-liver oil. I'm the eldest, and being the eldest male, the responsibility of looking after the others was very much my responsibility. Next to me is my sister Phemie. Euphemia is her proper name, but we all call her Phemie. After Phemie comes Lindsay, then George, then Gerry. Gerry's the youngest. And I remember the times when we were kids going to school, and we had to walk about 500 or 600 yards to get water for drinking and for washing in. And when w
e washed, all the kids shared the one tub of water. And being the eldest, I was the last in the tub. When we moved to Brisbane, big gangs of white kids used to chase me around the school. You had to fight and fight. You had to learn to use your fists or a stick or anything that came in. After a few days of this, what I'd done, I had a big lump of four-by-two that I'd found and I hid it in the grass. And so when the kids chased me I raced to that lump of grass and pulled out this four-by-two and started hitting into them with it. I was about 11, 12 at the time.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: I think he set standards for us. I can remember as a kid, going to school in Brisbane, every morning Lester would be called out for...by the headmaster. And we were complaining at home because Lester wasn't collecting water.
GERRY BOSTOCK: That role was given to my sister to carry the water, and she wasn't really impressed with that idea. But when Dad questioned Lester about it he discovered that Lester had sore shoulders. And he got him to lift up his shirt and found that he'd been flogged by the headmaster for whatever reason, that he had cane marks all up and down his back, and they were bleeding. And this is what was causing him a problem in trying to carry the water and do his other chores.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: He was getting caned from the headmaster because...mainly because he just wouldn't cry, he wouldn't give in. And that's just the type of person he is. He just won't...won't give in on anything. I mean, it got worked out, but...by my dad.
GERRY BOSTOCK: Father went down to the school and sorted the headmaster out, that is punched him up from pillar to post.
LESTER BOSTOCK: He was a strong but fair man. He was strict also. And he made sure that the family had substance and had food on the table. He always made sure of that. I got from him the work ethic. A lot of them were brought up with that strong work ethic that you had to go out and earn your living. My mum, she died about four or five months ago. And she was in her early 90s then. She kept the family together. She was a very strong woman. You minded your P's and Q's around her. She was tender but strict.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: We were lucky that we got the parents we did. Even as a young girl living in the bush, I remember we lived in a tent beside roads 'cause Dad was a main roads worker. But there was always floorboards down and lino on the floor and we all had to sit around the table at the right time every night to a meal. So even though we lived in a tent, it was like living in a house.
LESTER BOSTOCK: Those women had to be really strong at that time to hold things together, because that was the height of the Aboriginal Protection Act and things were very tight. You just weren't allowed into the towns and things like that. Certain shops wouldn't serve you and certain shops would.
GERRY BOSTOCK: We didn't have citizenship, we didn't have passports, we weren't allowed to travel anywhere, we were barred from swimming pools, cinemas, uh...toilets even. So you could only go to parts of Australian society where you would be accepted, and most of that was in the Aboriginal community.
LESTER BOSTOCK: I remember when I was about 18, 19 I went up to central Queensland looking for work. And because I was a stranger in the town... The local police saw all the people getting out of the bus. They said, "You, come here. I want you out of town. If you don't have a job by the end of today, I want you out of town or you go in." When we moved from Tweed to Brisbane in 1944-45, first we moved into the bush camps in Brisbane. There was a whole lot of Aboriginal families and Island families living in humpies in the shantytown outside of Brisbane at Moorvale. And growing up at Rocklea in my teenage years, we'd all broken up into gangs. The Aboriginal and the migrant kids generally hung around together. There were one or two other white Australians who we hung around with and that was about it. But remember, this was the start of the rock'n'roll era and I think the words 'bodgie' and 'widgie' was the big thing of the day. And everyone went to the dances on Saturday night. I was 17, 18, 19. Right up until
I was in my 20s, we went to the dances. We went to...the Boathouse was a place that everyone went to.
GERRY BOSTOCK: What had happened with Lester was that he was also a very good dancer, rock'n'roll...sort of, um...'exponent' on the dance floor, and was sought after by many women.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: He was a good dancer. He was a good football player too. He played for the Brisbane All Blacks.
LESTER BOSTOCK: I remember one year, I think it was 1956, I got the best and fairest player for that year. And they gave me a trophy of a little football. I've still got that. It was either from the playing of the football or the job I was working at at the time, I'd got a bump on the shins, and then gangrene set in. They thought they might've been able to save the leg but the bone on the shin had just eaten away with the cancerous growth. And they took the leg off really high up near the thighs. I became...more inward. I kept a lot of those things within me. And I... So I just... It took about 10 years to really start to come to terms with a lot of that. I had relationships with girlfriends and things like that at the time. And I always had that feeling that having the disability had affected the relationships.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: I didn't really think about that at the time until years later...of how he handled it. And I think he's made a better life for him... I mean, it seems funny to say this, but he was a labourer going from one job to another.
GERRY BOSTOCK: Lester was the talk of the town with incidents involving his artificial leg. There was one such case when my sister and he were coming from somewhere and it was a really hot summer's day, or summer's evening. Lester took off his artificial leg and was just in his underwear while the leg was in the boot. And they didn't secure the boot properly. And the leg got sort of jiggled about in the boot and plopped out. And so this police car was following him down the road, because there was a leg with a shoe on it hanging out of the boot. So they got pulled over. And, um...the police were rather embarrassed when they found out that he was an amputee.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: After he lost his leg he came to Sydney. And then he got involved in education down here. He won himself a Churchill scholarship. He's travelled the world. He's created a lot of things, like, in radio. His mentorship with young people, young Indigenous people, for films. He absolutely loves it.
LESTER BOSTOCK: I got involved with Tranby. Tranby at the time was a live-in college. So I moved in there and did a course there. And I did a bookkeeping course and learnt a bit about administration. And a lot of the organising for the referendum was held at Tranby.
WOMAN IN '60S NEWS FOOTAGE: There's still a tremendous amount of confusion in the minds of the public.
LESTER BOSTOCK: You were rubbing shoulders with a lot of the very radical people of that era. They used to hold things called 'silent vigils' in those days. And we'd go and hand out pamphlets and hold up placards and things like that outside government houses. So there was Faith Bandler, myself, Cath Walker, Jack Davis, Charlie Perkins. All of those people were there and I used to hobble along and into all those things. There was a lot of feet action and I was involved in that.
MAN IN '60S NEWS FOOTAGE: Land rights isn't a word, it's a living!
LESTER BOSTOCK: There was a big moratorium held outside the Sydney Town Hall. There were probably 10,000 people, which blocked off the whole of that Sydney Town Hall area. Just after that the Embassy happened with Billy Craigie and a few others. We'd spent a lot of our time supporting the Embassy. Then about '71...'70, '71, I left Tranby and got involved with the little theatre group that was starting in Redfern.
MAN IN '70S NEWS FOOTAGE: Roll up, you peeping Toms of the spectacular! It's here at last - the Jimmy Sharman Boxing Troupe.
GERRY BOSTOCK: Lester, myself, Bob Maza, my sister Phemie, and, um...others, were on the board of the Black Theatre. And we were doing things like... Because the Aboriginal Tent Embassy situation had happened, we were doing street theatre.
MAN 1 IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: Listen, you guys, these are a proud and sensitive people, OK?
MAN 1 IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: They've had a rough time, but we're going to start treating them as humans, right?
MAN 2 IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: Right.
MAN 1 IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: Cue the boong.
GERRY BOSTOCK: We were writing programs and writing sketches. We didn't have a clue about what a script looked like. We just knew what we liked.
LESTER BOSTOCK: We saw, at that time, we saw theatre as a means of publicising our cause. It was a means of letting people know that we're not all raving...street politicians, raving ratbags, but we have other things to offer.
MAN IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: You know what? In the long run I reckon we'd be better off with a more restrictive immigration policy.
GERRY BOSTOCK: So we started writing our own programs. And in 1972 we got Ken Horler involved. And he had the Nimrod Theatre. And so Ken directed the first Aboriginal program we had on stage, which was called 'Basically Black'.
MAN IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: And, Mr Gub...I'm basically Black!
LESTER BOSTOCK: Now, it's been 30 years since we had that building in Redfern, but the people in Redfern still regard that site where that building is as the Black Theatre building. It's our building. It's our site. My direction is still continuing on with that empowering of people. I tend to reinvent myself about every 10 years.
GERRY BOSTOCK: At that time he was working as the first Australian...or Aboriginal radio broadcaster. And so he'd made a lot of inroads there and got the SBS to get an Aboriginal program happening with SBS. But, of course, they had no guidelines. So he wrote the guidelines for them. They used to have film-makers going into a community, pulling out the cameras and start shooting and not worrying about the rights of local people. So while he was at SBS he wrote a program of your...protocol between a film crew and the Aboriginal community. And that protocol document, called 'The Greater Perspective', is still being used today.
BURRAGA, ABORIGINAL ELDER FROM 1933 NEWSREEL: It quite amuses me to hear these people saying, "I don't like the black man."
LESTER BOSTOCK: Early 1980s I also took some time off from SBS to work on a documentary, which was 'Lousy Little Sixpence'. I was one of the producers on that. Because we had a bit of knowledge, we'd be working on those programs. So those types of things came about not because one had a desire to pursue some sort of career, but one reacted to what the situation was at the time.
BURRAGA: ..and today he demands more than the white man's charity. He wants the right to live.
LESTER BOSTOCK: It reminded me a lot of my childhood. I remembered at Box Ridge at Coraki, when any white strangers used to come up in cars and suits my mother and all the older people would send us kids up into the bush to hide because they knew that only Government people would come to the reserve.
LESTER BOSTOCK IN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE: If you notice in the film that the development...
LESTER BOSTOCK: I was producing. My brother Gerry was directing. You could count them all on one hand, the number of film and television makers around at that time in 1990. And that's not too long ago. And the only way we're gonna get Aboriginal crew is train them ourselves. So I went and saw some film-maker friends of mine, and I ran into Tom Jefferies, who was then head of the film school. What was produced out of those two courses was about 30 Aboriginal people came out of those two courses. Of the 30 I know of about 12-15 are still working in the industry somewhere. And that's developing a foundation. A lot of them do work for the ABC now. A lot of them do work for SBS. A couple have gone on to Channel 9. Some have gone back to their community and started making videos within their own communities. To me, if you don't see people around you haven't really lost them. You've given them some skills. Once you've given people some skills, they're never the same again. I feel really proud of those people, because I...to me they're my children. And they...and so they...they're going on to do things, but one of my dreams is to develop an Aboriginal genre of film-making. We haven't got there yet, but we're getting there slowly.
EUPHEMIA BOSTOCK: My girls see him more like a father than an uncle. My eldest girl said, just so simply she came out with it and said, "He's like a father to us, isn't he, Mum?" And all the way Lester's been the peacemaker. In my eyes. In my eyes.
GERRY BOSTOCK: It's been in this last period of time that we've spent more time together. What I experienced was his strength of purpose and courage. So that's one of the hallmarks, I think, of his career and the stuff that he gets into is because of that determination to succeed.
LESTER BOSTOCK: What we have to fight about now is not so much the economics of colonialism, but the colonialism of the mind, where Aboriginal thought needs to be part of the mainstream thought, and must be accepted as such. So it's a thing that I...a philosophy that I've had, sort of, of empowering people, making people equal, and getting people to understand each other from both sides.
RACHAEL MAZA: And the clip we bring you this week is Rod Smith performing 'Sing You a Country Song'. And if you'd like more information on any of the programs or the release of the CD compilation for this series, check out the 'Message Stick' site on abc.net.au/message. And we'll see you next week.
It's years down the track And I finally hit back
I've gotten off my lazy arse
Gonna show you now what I've known all along
That I can sing a country song
So you just take a seat back and relax, my friend
And put your feet up in the air
I'm gonna knock your socks off and I'll move your hips
And, 'Mmm' like you don't care
And I've been waiting for so long
To sing you a country song
Well, my dear old mother God rest her soul
Has joined my father in heaven
I wish they were here to see me now
To sing you a country song
They liked old Jimmy Rogers and Slim Dusty
But I'm more Lee Kernaghan
For years they heard me sitting around
And playing these country songs
I just wish they were here to see me
Sing you a country song
I've sung rock'n'roll I've sung the blues
Got so many songs to choose
For the young and old I sing my songs
And it's a country song for you
And I've sung in smoky old bars and ballroom floors
Where the people dance all night long
I've felt the highs and lows in life
And I sing them in my songs
And I've been waiting for so long
To sing you a country song
And I've been waiting for so long
To sing you a country song
And I've been waiting for so long
To sing you a country song
Sing you a song
A country song.

Destrehans shooting woes continued at the East Ascension tournament last week, but the Wildcats were able to pull out one win a 59-47 victory over Central Lafourche to end the event.
Destrehan opened the tourney with a 60-46 loss to St. Amant and shot poorly from the field. The only bright spot for the Wildcats was Talvin Michael, who finished with 13 points.
"We shot the ball horribly," Destrehan head coach Todd Bourg said. "Thats been our problem all season."
Destrehan (6-10) struggled again in a 42-33 loss to Sulphur the next day, going 4-for-29 for the field. Only one Wildcat, Clifton Adams, finished in double figures with 12 points.
"I was not too happy with our effort," Bourg said.
But the Wildcats rebounded to beat Central Lafourche 59-47 in the final game. Destrehans Gary Johnson led all scorers with 24 points.
"We finally played decently and we shot the ball pretty well," Bourg said. "Gary is our leader out there and when he gets going we usually play well."
Despite the win, Bourg said his squad is not where they need to be with district play beginning on Jan. 8.
"We are off schedule. I knew it was going to be a struggle early," Bourg said. "Still, we could have actually won five or six more games where we were leading but lost down the stretch."
Those losses, including close ones against Christian Life, Amite, Parkview Baptist, Northshore and Higgins can be chalked up to inexperience. Destrehan lost eight players from last year and only returned two starters – Johnson and Keegan Joseph – this season.
"Its frustrating when you are leading and guys dont know how to hold on to it because they dont have the experience," Bourg said. "They make bad decisions and dont make free throws and thats why we are 6-10. We could easily be 12-4 if we were able to hold on in those games."
While Bourg admits his squad has struggled, those close losses mean the team is capable of turning things around when district play begins.
"District is going to be wide open," Bourg said. "Everybody lost a lot from last year and I dont see any team that is going to be overpowering."
Destrehan opens district play on Tuesday, Jan. 8 when they host John Ehret (5-8) at 6 p.m.
|Destrehan has struggled holding on to late leads this season, which has the team is saddled with a 6-10 record.

Homestead exemption deadline is March 1
The Hernando County Property Appraiser's Office is taking applications for homestead exemption and the low income senior exemptions.
Property Appraiser Alvin Mazourek reminds residents who purchased a home or moved during the 2010 tax year that they need to submit applications for homestead exemption by March 1 to get the benefit for the 2011 tax year. Applications after March 1 will be considered for 2012.
To qualify for the homestead exemption and accompanying "Save Our Homes" assessment cap, the home must be the permanent and primary residence of the applicant and spouse. One exemption per married couple is allowed. Those who have moved within the state of Florida and received a homestead on another property within the past two years may be eligible for portability.
For seniors eligible for homestead exemption: If at least one owner is 65 or older prior to Jan. 1 and the total household adjusted gross income in 2010 did not exceed $26,203, and they did not apply for the low income senior Exemption for 2010, an application must be submitted by March 1.
For those seniors who did receive a low income senior exemption for 2010, a 2011 renewal card was mailed last month.
Seniors are required to verify their total household adjusted gross income and check the appropriate box to renew or cancel their exemption and return the card before March 1 to one of the Property Appraiser offices. Offices are at the Hernando County Government Center, Room 463, 20 N Main St., Brooksville; and at 7525 Forest Oaks Blvd., Spring Hill.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem heads for the latest World Motor Sport Council meeting in Geneva on Wednesday saying that the FIA Formula One World Championship will always rise above off track controversies and leave them behind.
Sulayem, the FIA's Vice President for Sport, believes the future for F1 has never been brighter, and that Abu Dhabi's emergence as a Grand Prix venue has come at the start of another golden era for the world's elite motor racing series.
"We've had negative headlines in recent times, and down the years, but the strength of F1 is what happens on the race track and the massive excitement that generates on around the world," said Sulayem, President of the ATCUAE.
World Motor Sport Council members meeting in Geneva will decide on disciplinary action against the USF1 team for its non-participation in the 2010 championship after being granted entry to the series.
Sulayem said: "Here in the UAE, we can't wait for November to come round again after the successful launch of the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and there's so much to look forward to. We could be heading into another golden spell for Formula One, and Abu Dhabi has already shown that is has so much to contribute by creating such a fantastic circuit, and event, at Yas Marina."
Sulayem is the first Arab to be elected to the World Motor Sport Council.

6 Free Tricks to Speed Up Your Cheap Webhost
Ideally, you'd be running your website on a rock solid host, but top quality hosting usually comes at a steep cost, which is something you probably cannot afford when you are just starting out or running relative small (low profit) websites. Therefore, in the real world, chances are you are relying on cheap web hosting for your small business website or that new project. That's quite alright: so am I.

That response created such a firestorm that Cameron has to travel throughout New York with a bodyguard—he needs the protection.
Carly Fiorina's husband, who occasionally doubles as her bodyguard, carries a gun.
The starlet was seen grabbing her left ankle after she was brought back to her feet with the help of her bodyguard and publicist.
A bodyguard and my interpreter told me to pick the book up immediately.
"Sir, we should turn back," his bodyguard Aubrey Davis said.
He was accompanied by Prince Rupert, his cousin, and attended by a troop of his bodyguard.
They were his bodyguard, his satellites, his vigilant escort.
They ran along in this way, and the outlaws formed a bodyguard about them.

Dunkin' Brands U.S. donut shop sales offset drop at Baskin-Robbins
CANTON, Mass. (AP) Dunkin Brands, parent of the Dunkin Donuts chain and Baskin-Robbins ice cream shops, said Wednesday that its annual profit fell 23% as the cost of refinancing debt offset sales growth.
The company said sales at U.S. locations open at least a year rose 1.6% in 2010 from 2009. Dunkin Donuts locations reported a 2.3% increase in that key comparison in the U.S., offsetting a 5.2% drop at the Baskin-Robbins chain in the U.S.
Franchisees and licensees opened 574 new Dunkin Donuts locations last year for a global total of 9,760. There were 226 new Baskin-Robbins shops, for a total 6,433.
Dunkin Brands operates in 52 countries, and announced plans last month to open more than 500 Dunkin Donuts locations in India over the next 15 years in a franchise deal with Jubilant FoodWorks.
The privately held chain of more than 16,000 franchised restaurants said its net income slipped to $26.9 million from $35 million. Dunkin Brands fiscal year ended Dec. 25.
Dunkin Brands revenue, excluding the portion that franchisees keep, rose 7% last year to $577.1 million from $538 million, the company said. Sales rose nearly 7% to $7.7 billion last year.
In November, Dunkin Brands completed a refinancing that included a $1.25 billion term loan and $625 million in senior notes. It used the proceeds to repay in full the companys outstanding securitization debt and related refinancing expenses and to pay shareholders a cash dividend. The Canton, Mass.-based company said it recorded a nearly $62 million charge for costs related to extinguishing debt.
Chief Financial Officer Neil Moses said recent steps to re-price and re-allocate Dunkin Brands debt will reduce annual interest expenses by about $26 million.
A consortium of private equity firms acquired the company in 2006 for $2.4 billion from French spirits maker Pernod Ricard.

Each spring our sangha holds a memorial service in the zendo for Maylie Kushin Seisho, our first teacher and the founding abbess of Rin Shin Ji
Temple. Maylie passed in the spring of 2001. In April of this year, the following two poems were offered in gratitude at the ceremony.
Homage to Basho
Michael Quam
spring rain on rock face
sparks jumping up
this old coat soaked through
new puddles
The Dharma-realm of true actuality
harbors neither self nor other.
To reach accord with it at once,
just say, "Not two!"
How we squander our sorrows
gazing beyond them
into the sad
wastes of duration
to see if maybe
they have a limit.
But they are
our winter foliage
our dark evergreens
one of the seasons
of our secret year
--and not only a season
they are situation,
settlement, lair,
soil, home.
Oh you nights
that I grieved through
how much you will
mean to me then.
Disconsolate sisters
why didn't I kneel
more fully
to accept you
and lose myself more
in your loosened hair?

(12/21/2012) If you're visiting Sanur, Bali over the Christmas and New Years holiday, make a point of stopping by The Glass House Restaurant.
A popular spot for a meal, light refreshment or drinks, The Glass House Restaurant is also home to a miraculous "wishing tree" – conceived by Australian Elizabeth Travers as a means to reach out and touch her surrounding Balinese community during the holiday season.
Customers, friends and passer-bys stopping by The Glass House can, at their option, purchase a US$25 Christmas ornament that will be hung on the "Wishing Tree." Each ornament has the name of the donator inscribed upon it before being placed on the tree.
Donators can also receive a photo of Balinese receiving a cataract operation .
Funds raised from the sale of ornaments are donated to the [John Fawcett Foundation] to defray the cost of sight-restoring cataract surgery for underprivileged people in Bali.
Elizabeth told balidiscovery.com: "Those of us living in Bali know of the remarkable difference made in the lives of the Balinese by John Fawcett with his mobile eye clinics that brings teams of doctors and nurses to remote areas where they perform surgeries that return site to people blinded by cataracts. If Christmas is a time of miracles, what can be more miraculous than making a contribution that allows the light of the world shine once more for blind Balinese?"
Aguably another miracle of the season is the strength of the branches on the Christmas tree supporting the growing number or ornaments "purchased" for The Glass House's tree.
Stop by to make a donation as long as the tree stays up or go on line to the John Fawcett Foundation to make a real difference this holiday Season.

Mayor Rob Ford is set to suffer yet another big defeat when city council holds a special meeting on transit Wednesday. Now that an advisory panel has come out for light-rail transit instead of subways in Scarborough, council seems likely to reject his all-subways-all-the-time approach and go with light rail on Sheppard Avenue East – the very place he most wants a subway.
The result will be a plan that looks much like Transit City, the light-rail network that Mr. Ford tried to kill before council finally rebelled this winter. The provincial government, which has made it clear that council's voice is supreme, will have little choice but to approve the new – that is to say, the old – plan over the mayor's vehement objections. That would leave him severely isolated on this most important of civic files, howling into the wind that "people want subways," holding rag-tag pro-subway demonstrations in suburban parkettes and essentially getting nowhere.
Mr. Ford has one last chance to snatch something – if not victory, then at least progress – from the jaws of defeat. He could propose a serious plan to build a network of new rapid transit in this city over the next quarter-century, complete with the new revenue tools – in other words, taxes – to pay for it. To back up his plan, he could recommend a citywide referendum to approve it. It would be a startling proposal from a tax-fighting mayor, but Mr. Ford needs to seize back the momentum if he is to have any chance of influencing the city's transit future.
With provincial and federal governments fighting big deficits, and city hall still struggling to get its finances in shape, special levies for transit offer the only realistic hope of building it. An array of expert reports in the last couple of months have recommended looking at them.
Mr. Ford's point man on the subways campaign, Gordon Chong, thinks the city needs to consider road tolls and other measures. The mayor's subways advocate on council, Scarborough's Norm Kelly, wants a 0.5-per-cent sales tax, raising $250-million a year. The mayor himself has toyed with the idea of a special levy on parking fees to pay for transit.
The advisory panel sets out what could be the easiest expedient: raising the property tax. The city would not need provincial approval to do it, and an increase of 0.6 to 0.9 per cent a year for seven years would support the debt the city would have to take on for a Sheppard subway extension.
How likely is Mr. Ford to make such a radical pitch? On past behaviour, the chances are low. Mr. Kelly says he is going to use all his powers of persuasion to get the mayor to come up with a serious business case for subways before Wednesday's council meeting. But asked about the likelihood the mayor would embrace new transit taxes or levies, Mr. Chong conceded with a laugh: "I would say the mayor has a stubborn side to him."
That is putting it mildly. The mayor has always refused to grapple seriously with the enormous cost of subways. The private sector will build it, he says (it will, but only if someone else pays). Or: We can get the money from other governments (we might, but only enough to build a third of the Sheppard subway extension at best).
When a reporter asked Mr. Ford Friday about holding a referendum on transit taxes, he said that "absolutely" he would support it – but that voters were bound to reject the idea. "I've talked to a lot of people about this and I know what they want. They want subways. We can afford it, let's do it. They don't want to have an extra tax to pay for it."
The day before, he spoke at a "Subways Are For Everyone" rally at Sheppard and Victoria Park where people waved "Honk 4 Subways" signs. Asked how Toronto would pay for those wonderful subways, he said, "Get a shovel in the ground and I guess the money will flow."
Mr. Ford doesn't need a magic shovel to build subways. He needs a realistic plan to pay for them. He has only days left to show that he has one.Report Typo/Error

text: Well guys, I gathered 200+ configs from my working PC-BSD and analysed them :) I now can categorise all configs into 8 different logic types: - (Tab/Space)-based tables (newsyslog.conf, fstab) - Simple keyValue without section (rc.conf, resolv.conf) - Simple keyValue with section 1 level deep (smb.conf, php.ini) - Xorg conf (xorg.conf) - Apache-type (httpd.conf) - Section with braces type, multi depth (named.conf, nginx.conf, wep.conf) - login.conf type (login.conf) (Not really different, but my parser have own opinion about newline and comments ;) ) - zfs.conf (have not sufficient info, look later, very similar to simple case) and of course XML ones - I didn't count them, because they are in valid easy parseable format already. Currently I have working parser and some GUI, which can handle smb.conf and other simple types, which preserves all correct comments and can parse and understand that some values are valid sections and keyValue pairs, only commented; I'm working now on difficult parser cases, such as: some key: value1, value2, /** comments **/, value 3 or some key: value #comment After part1 (parsing/editing/saving) completed, I'm going to part 2 (validating, advance validating) - such as check if specified path/file exists, if entered value sane, etc. And after that, I'll try which is hard ever - parse broken/mistyped configs. So, I think soon we'll have one GUI for many cases while normal, full-featured GUI not available. BTW, I'll need some help for testing, any volunteers? :)

Megan Fox Might Be Pregnant
Taking time off from their usual weekly claim that Jennifer Aniston and/or Angelina Jolie is pregnant with Brad Pitt's baby, Star is reporting that Megan Fox is with child which I'm immediately going to say is bullshit because Reese Witherspoon already used all the pregnant in Hollywood. Via RadarOnline:
"They just found out and are incredibly excited," a source close to the couple told Star, noting that the pregnancy was unexpected.
However, it's unlikely the Transformers actress will be going public with the news just yet, as the source says: "It's still early, so they are only telling close friends and family members."
If this story is true, which again, highly unlikely because it doesn't involve Reese Witherspoon, Megan Fox is about to have really big breasts without becoming a walking circus tent. I'd say it's practically a dream pregnancy, except in my dreams pregnant women can remove their bellies before sex and the baby ends up being an Xbox. It's pretty magical.

All it takes is a commercial break on TV to strengthen your bum
1. Lie on your left side with knees bent and feet positioned behind you in-line with your bum. 2. Keep your feet together while slowly using your right bum muscle to open your right knee. Don't let your top hip roll backward. Your lower body should roughly resemble an open clam. Repeat 15 times before switching sides.

Capt Wilson rides the length of New Zealand
Last year on Nov 14th Capt Wilson of the Oamaru Ordinary Cycle Club set out to be the first ever person to ride a penny farthing bicycle the length of New Zealand. The bicycle he used for this historic ride was built by myself when I lived back in Oamaru , New Zealand. It is a 54 inch replica penny farthing bicycle from the late 1880s and upon it he attached a number of traditional leather and canvas touring bags to hold all his camping supplies and clothing for 3 months on the road. This ride was totally unsupported and he often camped beside the road on his journey to Cape Reinga at the very top of NZ from his starting point on Stewart Island at the bottom of NZ. In total it has taken him 51 days and about 2000 km to reach the top and has now made New Zealand cycling history as the 1st person to have ridden this route. Pictured above is Capt Wilson at the finish at Cape Reinga on Sat 18th of Feb at 2.32pm.

The phone comes with 2800mAh of juice out of the box, but ZeroLemon has an extended battery, case included, that will bump that up to 7500mAh. That's over twice the battery life, and you can now get your hands on it through Amazon for $49.99.
This case will offer your phone some extra protection, but it does have a few drawbacks.Read More

IMPD investigates fatal shooting in west side apartment complex
IMPD homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of a man at a west side apartment complex Monday morning. Police have not identified the dead man, or the person who shot him.
IMPD spokesman Michael Hewitt said several calls to 9-1-1 shortly after 4:30 a.m. brought officers to the 800 block of Cloverleaf Terrace, just inside I-465 north of Washington Street.
There they found a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel tried to revive the man, but he died in the parking lot.
Hewitt said no one has been arrested, and no suspect information is available.
