Former Mets manager Bobby Valentine will fly down to Miami today to meet with the Marlins' brass about the opening for their manager position after they fired Fredi Gonzalez earlier this week. It is widely speculated that Gonzalez will take over as the Braves skipper after this season since Bobby Cox is stepping down. If Valentine is offered the job and he accepts, the Mets could see him Monday in Puerto Rico when they fly down to face the Marlins.
So, what are your thoughts on Valentine managing the Marlins? When the Mets were struggling earlier this season, many thought Valentine could be next in line as their manager, if they fired Jerry Manuel. Now that the Mets are contenders and only a half game behind the Braves in the division, Manuel's job seems to be safe.
Could you care less about the move or do you think it's a real loss to the Mets?

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 7.3.14
Alright everybody, it's your last The Crap We Missed before we celebrate America's birthday by passing out drunk on top of the grill before the escorts even get there. What, you don't like to barbeque? So, I managed to put together another hearty selection of essentially innocent celebrity candids for us all to project shameful, humiliating and albeit completely untrue scenarios onto. Yay, Internets! With that in mind, here's back-to-back Kelly Brook shots that I almost felt guilty about until I remembered my soul died circa 1993, Lily Allen's stomach because see previous and the inevitable outcome of all that Jersey Shore bullshit that we waited patiently for.
They actually look so depressed they might kill themselves! Happy Fourth of July Everyone!!

Did you know?
Hans Merensky was a well-know mining archaeologist and humanitarian.
The Hans Merensky Golf Course adjacent to the Kruger National Park in Phalaborwa, promises the ultimate African golfing experience, where golfers share the fairways with giraffe, zebra, impala and monkeys, while viewing bigger game behind the park fence.
During a round of 18, you are likely to encounter hippo and crocodiles at various watering holes, while majestic, yet inquisitive giraffe nonchalantly observe your swing from their unique vantage points.
This course was designed by the renowned Robert Grimsdell. It is largely novice-friendly, with generous fairways. Even if your drive is a little wayward, finding your ball in the rough is fairly easy. One exception is the par-5 16th, where a hooked drive will land in the game park.
The fairway grass is cynodon, while the greens are an indigenous offshoot known as Bayview grass. Due to all the wildlife traffic, the course greens have been hardened, which is something to bear in mind when deciding where to land your chip shots. The greens however offer a comfortable, medium pace and putting is as relaxed.
Hole-in-one hunters can try their luck on the two par-3 holes, which are the 8th and 17th tees. You will however have to overcome water hazards on both of these holes.
You can tee off as early as 7am to experience the awakening of the surrounding wilderness as you play. Friendly caddies with expert local knowledge are on hand.
Phalaborwa, best known as a mining town, is a fair drive from major infrastructure and an ideal place to experience the wilder side of South Africa, which is exactly why golfers and holidaymakers make the effort to travel out there.

WOOTTON Bassett captain Darren Beasant was happy his side enjoyed the perfect preparation to this weekend's top-of-the-table showdown with Malmesbury, as they edged out Bradford-on-Avon by six wickets.
Bassett were made to work hard for their 21 points at Ryland's Way, as Bradford's stiff resistance took the visitors to 185-8 from their 45 overs, before an unbeaten half-century from Beasant helped his team home with 14 balls to spare.
The Bassett captain said: "We were pleased with it. We were put under some pressure. We were probably put under more pressure this weekend than we have been for some weeks.
"It was a positive in that it was nice to be tested with a big game coming up, for some of the guys to get time in the middle, get a few runs and take wickets. We're doing it by default at the minute - putting teams in and chasing them down.
"We can't win it on Saturday but we can certainly lose it and in that respect it was a good test. You play sport because you want to be competitive."
Meanwhile, Malmesbury maintained their narrow lead at the top of Division One with a five-wicket win over Box.
Jess Richman (52 not out) and Richard Foley (43) put runs on the board for Box but Malmesbury's Richard Gaunt turned the screw, taking 5-44 to restrict the visitors to 186-7.
Despite Box's Richard Sanchez taking three wickets, Malmesbury's James Pearce-Smith led the charge with an unbeaten 44, with opener James Gillespie also chipping in with 42 as the home side reached 188-5 early in the 42nd over.
Urchfont beat Swindon Civil Service by 74 runs, with David Bromley (79) and Morlon Simon (69) finding their range as the third-placed villagers posted 254-7.
Cosmo Cupid and Will Hams then took three wickets apiece to skittle Swindon for 180 midway through the 39th over.
Elsewhere, Beanace & Melksham finally got back to winning ways as they inflicted yet another defeat on bottom-of-the-table Collingbourne.
Beanacre lost an early wicket but skipper Dean Wallington (28) and Paul Gilbert (41) took the attack to the bowlers and after Wallington departed with the score on 56, which brought Ben Brown to the crease, there was no let up in the onslaught.
Brown top-scored with 69 to help the visitors reach 229 before they were dismissed and Collingbourne were soon struggling, with John Wiltshire ripping through the middle order, taking 6-40 in seven overs to skittle the home side for 163 in the 40th over.
Lacock gave Division Two leaders Beckington a run for their money but eventually fell to a narrow three-run defeat at home.
The visitors posted 188-8, with Leigh Rogers and Ian Jeffery taking 4-48 and 3-26 respectively, whilst Steve Copland (42) and Jeffery (38) did their best to pull off an upset for Lacock.
But time ran out for the hosts, with Beckington's Josh Dwight (4-45) doing just enough to derail the run chase, with Lacock falling short as they could only reach 185-9.
Corsham 4th suffered a crushing 197-run defeat at Lambourn in Division Four, with the home side's Chris Aubrey blowing away the visitors with a knock of 163.
Lambourn posted a mammoth 307-6 before dismissing Corsham for just 110 midway through the 31st over, with Paul Annetts claiming a monster seven wickets for 29 runs.
Im Division Six, Burbage & Easton Royal 3rd kept the heat on league leaders Lacock 2nd with a ten-wicket demolition of Swindon NALGO 2nd.
Nick Cranston took 6-36 whilst John Wheeler took 3-12 as NALGO crumbled, with the hosts all out for a lowly 89 in the 25th over.
Craig Simmons then hit an unbeaten 62 as Burbage chased down their target without loss, in little over 16 overs.
Lacock 2nd are just two points ahead after their own sizeable victory, with the villagers beating Marshfield 3rd by nine wickets.
Cliff Thompsett filled his boots as he ended with figures of 5-25, with Marshfield restricted to 130-9 before Alan Davies (62) and Mark Simmons (54 not out) helped Lacock reach 134-1

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/2/2013 (1660 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- In 1888, the psychologist Stanley Hall published a story about a sand pile. A minor classic, it describes how a group of children created a world out of a single load of sand. These children were diligent, they were imaginative, they were remarkably adult.
More than a century later, at the architect David Rockwell's Imagination Playground in lower Manhattan, small humans scurry back and forth all day long, carrying Rockwell's oversized blue foam blocks from self-devised task to self-devised task. These children are intent, they are co-operative, they are resourceful. The scene resembles nothing so much as Stanley Hall's sand pile -- with each grain of sand much bigger and much bluer.
More than any playground in recent memory, the Imagination Playground has inspired an outburst of excitement. After a century of creating playgrounds for children, of drilling swing sets and plastic forts into the ground, we have come back to children creating their own playgrounds. Loose parts -- sand, water, blocks -- are having a moment.
The resurgence of loose parts is an attempt to put the play back in playgrounds. The late 1960s and early 1970s were a time of exuberant playground design. Then the grownups got skittish. Down came the merry-go-rounds and the jungle gyms, and in their place, a landscape of legally insulated, brightly-coloured, spongy-floored, hard-plastic structures took root. Today, walking onto a children's playground is like exiting the interstate: Regardless of where you are, you see the exact same thing.
A lot of people agree that playgrounds are now too boring.
"People talk about making playgrounds more risky," says Susan Solomon, the author of American Playgrounds, which charts their demise. "But there's this sense that if you talk about it, that's enough. There's this very real reluctance to get involved in anything that might at least potentially cause an injury."
In Europe, the assumptions are radically different. Even the head of play safety at England's Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has said that "children should be exposed to a certain degree of risk, not because an activity is risky per se but because it is fun, exciting and challenging."
As the psychologist Ellen Sandseter has pointed out, the American attitude is a fundamental miscalculation of the risks: Kids who are bored stay inside and staying inside is ultimately far worse for your health than a broken arm.
Talk about why we can't have nice playgrounds here typically begins and ends with lawsuits. But potential legal action is too easy an excuse for not rethinking playgrounds, says Darell Hammond, head of the play-promoting nonprofit KaBOOM!. Change "requires all of us doing something different, not just a few law changes." In short, it requires all of us to be a little less panicked, and honestly, that's probably too much to ask, at least in the short term. Which is why loose parts may be the best hope for the future of playgrounds right now.
Rockwell's playground is still an adventure playground -- a construction site with all the splintery edges sanded down. It's what an adventure playground looks like in a risk-averse culture. And it promotes the kind of play we think children should be doing now: not with just their bodies, but with their minds. The Imagination Playground is a much more cognitive vision of the playground. No one would confuse it with a jungle gym.
Of course, loose parts don't have to be designed by David Rockwell -- they can be junk from your basement. Detroit's Arts & Scraps is a loose parts-focused organization where the loose parts are, well, scraps. Early childhood educators, for their part, adore loose parts for the open-ended, spontaneous sort of play they encourage, which is very much in line with the new orthodoxy of how young children learn. "When you have loose parts, you don't have the same repetitive pattern of play," Hammond says. "It's much a more circuitous path." And that's what you want from play. "You want to see kids escape into this zone in which they lose themselves."

"I customized this program with a custom color to match my wedding colors and chose an edge trim to make it really unique. They turned out perfect!"
"I am completely satisfied and pleased with the design and quality of these programs. Thanks so much to the Wedding Paper Divas staff for a job well done! I know that my guests will be wowed!"
"I am very pleased with these programs. They fit all of the information I needed them to. I used them just to name the wedding party instead of the wedding ceremony because we're having a very basic ceremony and people generally like to know who's standing up there. The paper is very nice, just like the invitations. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the top of one of our names was cut off just a little bit. It's not a huge deal and I'm sure most people won't even notice but of course I did because it's my wedding. I thought they would catch something like that while editing them. The previews I saw were too small to see it. Other than that I love the product that I got."
"The program was very nice and appropriate for the ceremony, but we were having trouble making everything fit and we called for help. Your customer service person went the extra mile and in helping us to design something that worked well for the wedding."

Did you know?
The best places to spot the Kruger Park's many birds are often in the camps themselves.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned twitcher, the Kruger National Park in summer is a birdwatcher's delight as some of the most colourful birds in the world swap the northern winter for a summer holiday in South Africa.
One of the first raptors to arrive is the common Wahlburg's eagle, a stocky, brown eagle with baggy, feathered leggings. The Steppe eagle, the biggest of the brown eagles, also flies in from the Palaearctic regions. If you're staying close by a river, listen at night for the eerie screech of the resident ginger-brown Pel's fishing-owl – one of only three fishing owls in the world.
You'll be dazzled by several species of bee-eater. Look for holes tunnelled into dry banks and if you see bright crimson birds flying in and out, you've spotted the communal nests of the gorgeous, multi-coloured Southern carmine bee-eater.
You also can't mistake the yellow throat and chestnut crown of the European bee-eater. The loud, trilling song of the conspicuous turquoise blue woodland kingfisher will wake you up at dawn and follow you through the bush all day. If you're from Europe or the USA you'll easily recognise the ubiquitous Barn swallow, which amazingly takes only 3 weeks to fly from your home to the Kruger National Park.
If you're watching one of the larger animals, notice that yellow- or red-billed brown bird busily picking ticks off the rhino's hide, the buffalo's face or the giraffe's neck – that's the tireless resident oxpecker. It also acts as an early warning system, flying up noisily when a predator is approaching.
Arm yourself with a user-friendly bird field guide and start ticking – you've got a long way to go: in summer there are over 500 bird species to see in the Kruger National Park.

How to get here
Easiest is to fly to the nearby Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and drive (or be driven) from there.
Best time to visit
Summer is when the migrant birds are here, and you'll also see lots of young animals. Be warned, however, that it can get very hot at this time of year.
Tours to do
Book a guided sunset or night drive. You'll see nocturnal animals and birds such as owls and nightjars, and your chances of seeing that elusive leopard are very good.
Get around
It's a good idea to rent a van or 4X4 because you sit higher up and will see more. Guided tours are also an option.
What will it cost
There are accommodations to suit all pockets, from cheap camping sites to luxury lodges. Be aware that there is a daily conservation fee.
What to pack
In summer you should take plenty of sunscreen along as well as a hat. Insect repellent would also be a good idea. And don't forget the binoculars, bird field guide and camera.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1754 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Though Saturday's game is the last game of the 2012 Canadian Football League season, Tim Burke was facing more questions about next season at Friday's media availability.
The identity of the new Bombers defensive coordinator was one hot topic of discussion, with a couple of familiar names dropped such as former Bombers defensive coordinator Greg Marshall and Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive coordinator Casey Creehan.
As the press conference on Thursday to announce Burke was the Bombers' full-time head coach and no longer the interim bench boss, Burke had announced that he would be replacing himself as defensive coordinator.
"First of all, he (Creehan) has got another year left on his contract so I really don't want to speculate on it. He's got a two-year contract and you just can't make a lateral move, you don't get that choice," Burke said.
Asked if he'd consider Creehan if he were fired by the Tiger-Cats, whose defence was largely outclassed in their last game of the season on Thursday night in a 43-40 loss, in which the Toronto Argonauts used many backup players on offence.
"We have a good guy on our staff in Chip Garber (linebackers coach). Whatever we do, I definitely will let you guys know as soon as we do it, how's that?" Burke said, smiling.
Creehan was a defensive coach with the Bombers in 2010 (defensive line) and 2011 (linebackers). In media reports out of Hamilton, Tiger-Cats head coach George Cortez refused to comment on his coaching staff.
Burke was cryptic when also asked about Greg Marshall, who spent three seasons (2006-2008) as the Bombers defensive coordinator.
"Greg's obviously a really good defensive coordinator. I would think he'll end up in the CFL this year (2013) as a coordinator again. That's all I'll say."
Many of the Bombers players interviewed Thursday after the announcement Burke had been retained as the head coach, shedding the interim status he had since replacing the fired Paul LaPolice on Aug. 25, said Burke could now put his mark on the team starting with Saturday's 2 p.m. meeting at Canad Inns Stadium with the Montreal Alouettes.
"I think I've put my stamp on the team a little bit already but it's more of a whole-season process. To me, the 2013 season starts on Monday or Tuesday. Once the player interviews are done for this season, then we start talking about the next season."
"It's an approach towards a team for a whole year. There's the mental aspect of the team I'm going to start working on immediately."

Maggie Gonzales
Maggie Gonzales has lived with lupus for most of her 46 years, but wasn't diagnosed until her 20s, after the disease had damaged her liver and kidneys. Today, this New Jersey mother of three struggles with her illness while working to spread awareness of lupus among Hispanics. Three years ago she helped to establish the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation's Lupus Cooperative of New York, Bronx Division. In this interview, Maggie shares some of her struggles to raise a family while coping with lupus, and her hopes for promoting awareness of the disease among people in the Hispanic community..
How has lupus affected your life?
Maggie: So many ways . . . most painfully, I suffered a flare up in the ninth month of pregnancy with my youngest son, and as a result he was born hearing-impaired. Lupus has also burdened our family financially— from the hospital stays to medication costs. Recently, I developed severe photosensitivity. My nine-year-old son, Justin Ryan, wants to go out to play baseball and swim, but I can't be in the sun or I'll break out in a rash or even get so sick that I need to be hospitalized.
What prompted you to get involved in helping to start up the Lupus Cooperative of New York's Bronx Division?
Maggie: I grew up in the South Bronx. This community was so underserved. There was no place for people with lupus to get advice, education, or support. Because I personally felt a need within that community, I joined with the Foundation and we were able to expand services of the Cooperative's Northern Manhattan Division to the Bronx. Both are a division of the Cooperative of New York, a network of health and supportive services designed to improve the quality of life for people with lupus and their families.
What gets you through the day?
Maggie: I cope with lupus by writing, singing, journaling, and educating people about lupus. On any given day, I know I need to wake up the next to see my children grow. I have to take my youngest to school and make his life as normal as possible. I need to be alive.
What would you say to other Hispanic women about lupus?
Maggie: Hispanics need to be more aware of lupus because they (and people in the African American community) are at greater risk for it. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are the best prevention against lasting damage. I know this first-hand. Twenty years ago, when I was in the hospital and unable to move, with swollen joints, fever—all the symptoms—lupus wasn't even mentioned. My father and sister had lupus, but I didn't know enough about it— I didn't realize I was at risk.
When I was finally diagnosed, the doctor said to me, "You must have had lupus for a long time for it to be this bad, to be so out of control." That's how misunderstood and unrecognized lupus is. (The Foundation is releasing a Spanish-language TV public service campaign this fall that will reach out to the Hispanic community, alerting them to the warning signs of lupus.)
What is the greatest challenge you face, living with lupus?
Maggie:I struggle with getting friends and family and people in general to understand this awful and complex disease. People always tell me, "You don't look sick." I wish I could get people to understand why I feel so tired. I tell myself that I am not dying with lupus, I am living with lupus! I want to see my child play baseball, to go out with my husband. Everyday I pray for a cure, if not in my lifetime, then in my children's lifetime.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/7/2013 (1512 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Worthies out in force
Bill Redekop and Doug Dobrowolski's complementary June 29 columns, Rural discontent growing and PST hike taketh and taketh from RMs, provide a marvellous illustration of the magical thinking and general schizophrenia afflicting municipal reeves and some other Manitobans.
Coffee shops resound with calls for government to "get its house in order." In response, the recent budget cuts or freezes allocations for 11 departments on top of the five frozen last year. But try to close an office or rationalize staffing, and the worthies are out in force: "Don't cut our services or find economies at our expense," they cry. "Our services are essential; it's the other fellows that are wasteful."
Suggest that municipalities under a certain population threshold (1,000) might be more efficient in providing services to their ratepayers if they were to amalgamate well? How heavy-handed and undemocratic can you get? But damn it, control those deficits.
Reeves (and the business council) have been lobbying for a one percentage point PST increase dedicated to infrastructure. So the province delivers a one percentage point time-limited PST hike for infrastructure and the ability to leverage federal dollars, and all hell breaks loose.
Our honourable reeves want the money and want the province to raise the tax for it, but they also want to control how it's spent, bitching all the while.
So what seems to be at play here is not the economics of a modest and called-for PST hike, but rather some transparent and overt politics. And if that's the case, well then, game on!
The Manitoba NDP government is determined on ramrodding through municipal amalgamation. The outcries are being voiced but ignored.
Until about 1890, the then County of Dennis held the RMs of Wallace Pipestone, Sifton and Woodsworth. Apparently, the government of the day decided it was much better and more efficient to have smaller units to administer and deal with.
The wheel is not broken, Premier Selinger, so why the determined illogical and stubbornness to try to repair something that isn't broken or needs re-inventing?
Impressing Montreal
Congratulations to Winnipeg on again leading the way in Canada, with the new football stadium and the return of the Jets.
Montreal sports fans were riveted in every bar to the season-opening game. We can only dream of such a big and open stadium.
And of course the Jets give us Expo diehards -- and we are legion -- some hope for the next decade. Best wishes to your dynamic city.
West Enders didn't whine
Re: Post-traffic mortem (Letters, June 29). I am a longtime season-ticket holder for the Bombers. I can't believe the crying of the residents near the stadium, which is going to be used only a few times a year.
I lived on Strathcona Street near the old arena for years, and nobody said you can't park on the West End or St. James streets. We used to sit in the backyards and listen to the Rolling Stones and other concerts.
Nobody wanted the stadium at this location (thank federal cabinet minister Vic Toews for that). But it's there now, so get used to it.
DON McEACHERN
Letter writer Sandra Jaman expresses her concern for patients' peace and quiet at the Victoria Hospital, wondering how they'll handle "cannons and fireworks" at Investors Group Field.
It's my understanding that cannons go off only after points are scored. This is like worrying if fans should bring an umbrella to the game lest a Gatorade shower occur. Sleep soundly, my sick Manitobans.
Cycling system 'inane'
I am dismayed by your June 29 story Cyclists enjoying special lanes. Winnipeg is already well known for having no clear direction for developing its cycling infrastructure, and the buffered bike lanes along Pembina Highway are another glaring example.
I can see why no other city has tried it. Giving cyclists a dedicated lane in traffic should be standard fare. But forcing them to intermittently veer onto the sidewalks to comingle with people congregated at bus stops, and then to immediately veer back into traffic, is inane.
Both motorists and pedestrians will now have to contend with cyclists who are on the street, then not, then on again. It is the definition of an accident waiting to happen.
Emissions rise unsurprising
Re: Emissions down, goal far away (June 21). Anyone who frequents a Tim Hortons can tell you it is no surprise that our vehicle emissions are up six per cent. Almost every day I see about a dozen cars idling for up to five minutes in the drive-thru.
Meanwhile, I park 10 steps from the door and am in and out with my coffee in about two minutes. I could probably walk or use my bike to commute to work a lot more often than I do, so I'm not perfect, but that is the ultimate in laziness.
As Mary Agnes Welch suggests, changing individual behaviour is key to the problems of vehicle emissions. I'm not optimistic.
A huge difference
Re: Pay 'em all like doctors (Letters, June 28). Minimum wage is, by most peoples' definition, a poverty wage. There is a huge difference between pulling someone out of poverty and increasing their income to the point where they have options such as offshore investing or vacationing or hoarding their cash.
The poor spend every penny of their after-tax income at home rather than abroad. That's good for the economy.

HOUSTON - In the arena, it's all about skill, strength and concentration, but to get there, a rodeo cowboy has to be his own trainer, coach and business manager.
To stay there, he has to keep winning.
"That's the hardest thing to learn, really. It's not the roping part or the rodeo part, it's management of the whole thing," team roper Travis Tynan said.
Behind the chutes, you'll often find Tynan surrounded by his wife, Hillary, and children Payten, 2, and Riley, 5. His family travels with him most of the year, living out of a trailer, but wouldn't have it any other way.
"Yep, I like going. We like getting to be around him, and he's a great dad and he'd miss the girls and we have fun," wife Hillary Tynan said.
"Our families have to sacrifice a lot. Times can be really good and better than ever than a steady job and then things can be worse than ever," Tomball roper Huston Hutto said.
Hutto is still learning to juggle his job and family. He and his wife, Lindsay, are newlyweds.
"It is, it's tough. I mean you miss them, but you have to stay out there. You're trying to support them at the end of the year, you have to stay hooked," Huston Hutto said.
Lindsay Hutto can't travel because of her job, so the couple is separated much of the year.
Huston Hutto is one of the top-ranked ropers in the country, but he finished out of the money Tuesday. He'll try again Wednesday night with Lindsay Hutto cheering him on.
"This is his passion, and I fully, 100% support him," wife Lindsay Hutto said.
The payoff for contestants and their families is simply the chance to compete in the sport they love.

Residence for Architecture Students
HARQUITECTES + dataAE
Barcelona, Spain
Joining forces HARQUITECTES and dataAE architects have designed this ecological residence for architecture students located next to the ETSAV (UPC) Architecture School of Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. The building is an excellent example that ecological conscience, using prefabricated structures, and high architectural ambitions can go hand in hand. The project has been chosen as one of the twelve finalists for the FAD Prize 2013.

A BRIERLEY Hill pensioner was caught with over £32,000 worth of cannabis after he decided to return to drug dealing to help resolve his money troubles.
Robert Whitelaw, who also used the controlled drug to help his medical problems, had not sold cannabis for 19 years after serving a number of prison sentences in this country and in France.
Judge Robin Onions said it was clear the 65-year-old had been a fairly persistent dealer of cannabis which had been a "consistent threat throughout his life."
He added: "Then, in 2013, you ran into financial difficulties and you found a drug dealer who would supply you with cannabis to ease your problems.
"You went in with your eyes open in the knowledge of what would happen if you were caught. You were going to sell these drugs for a profit."
Whitelaw, of Mill Street, admitted possessing cannabis and a small amount of cocaine with intent to supply having been caught with drugs valued at a total of £34,500 when police officers raided his home. He was jailed for 16 months.
Sharonjit Bahia, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court that in 1981 Whitelaw had been jailed for six years for conspiracy to supply drugs while in 1995 he had been locked up for two years in France for importing controlled drugs.
John Evans, for Whitelaw, said his client's home was in the hands of a bank after he defaulted on his mortgage payments and he obtained the drugs at the right price intending to make a profit of up to £6,000.
He said the drugs were an alternative to the prescription medicines he was taking for a number of health issues including arthritis, liver problems and gout.

im not sure what benchmark you are looking for. these tests would give you att, acc, str and possibly dmg rating for your pets. with these things, you could tell how strong each jugs dd-ness is, which i think is what we were getting at, possibly. were you looking to compare pets or predict damage output?
anyway, if you wanted to get vit/def values for vwnm's, i think you'd do best to look at sam again with shoha. its a fairly consistent ws also, att bonus, constant str, minimal hits, etc. can figure out vit from that. maybe def from other ws (drg with that new starsomething). id think the hardest would be accounting for all of the buffs. eva on a vw would be hitrate= 75+(acc-eva)/2 -2(monster lvl- player lvl) so if you knew monster lvl, hit rate, and the acc you have you could know the mobs evasion

Cantopop star Eason Chan returned to Kingston today, to receive an honorary degree for his outstanding achievements in music from his old university.
The multi-award winning singer, who quit his architecture course in 1995 to pursue a music career, was among hundreds of Kingston University graduates receiving their degrees at the Rose Theatre today.
Speaking at a specially-arranged press conference after the ceremony, the 39-year-old said: "I'm actually very moved, and a little nervous. I've been nervous for months, and I don't know why.
"I'm really glad to be here, to share my joy with my family.
"I have a crew of about 30 people here today.
"I'd like to thank Kingston University for the education and this certificate. To graduate here amongst all these other graduates – I just love to see their eyes and their smiles.
"I can see a light there, and this whole world becoming better and better."
Eason Chan addresses a packed press conference at the Rose Theatre
Chan moved to the UK from Hong Kong in 1986 at the age of 12, where he attended Dauntsey's Boarding School in Wiltshire before joining Kingston University as an architecture undergraduate in 1993.
In the summer of 1995, he returned to Hong Kong and entered the New Talent Singing Awards, which he subsequently won.
The victory propelled him to stardom, in a career which has seen him record 46 albums and win almost 200 Asian music awards.
But, understandably, it left him no time to finish his architecture degree.
Almost 20 years on, Chan said of his honour: "This really encourages me now.
"I feel I can move forward, it's so refreshing, I'm being reborn.
"You can get a bit stuck up when you're doing the same thing, and the same questions are being asked, and you throw out the same answers. It's not healthy. I think change is always good.
"I'm still not quite used to be called Dr Chan or Dr Eason. I think with this doctorate I have something to look forward to now, and something of a responsibility as well.
"There's no excuse now – I'm a doctor of music. I've never come across anyone who became a doctor of music.
"Education is one of the most important things in life, and I will keep learning, and try to be a good doctor."
The Cantopop star said his honorary degree would allow him to 'move forward' - but he had no regrets about quitting the uni 19 years ago
Asked whether he regretted leaving the university before graduating, Chan said: "Honestly? No, I don't.
"I went back to Hong Kong for the summer in 1995, and entered the competition.
"There was a contract I had to sign and they informed you that if you win it's most likely you'll get signed and have to make a decision about what you were going to do.
"I came back to Kingston and spoke to the Dean. He suggested if you're not really dedicated to it, if you're not really ambitious enough, you should make a choice. And so I made a choice."
Asked by the Surrey Comet what kind of architect he would have made, Chan said: "It's very hard to imagine now.
"I guess I'd just try and make the world more beautiful. A nice place to look at."

It is with deep sadness and regret that Cricket Canada announces the passing of former Canadian Cricket Association President Jack Kyle on Thursday June 21st, 2012 in Vancouver.
Jack was a tireless supporter of Junior cricket in Western Canada over his 60 years of involvement with the sport.
Generations of young cricketers benefitted from their experiences in his annual camps and programs as he shaped the basis of Canada's junior development pathway.
For his efforts, Jack received the ICC Americas Region Lifetime Award from the late Bob Woolmer in 2004.
He possessed a rapier wit and endless energy that was rivaled only by the late Cliff Cox. Details regarding funeral arrangements will be made available as released.
Tributes to Jack have poured in from across the region:
"We lost a true champion of Cricket in Canada. RIP Jack Kyle. His legacy in Canadian cricket is unmatched, Our thoughts and prayers are with his family." - Keith Deonarine (National Team Analyst & Prairie Selector)
"I am saddened with a second legendary loss of the year. First Cliff and now Mr. Jack Kyle. RIP Jack and thank you for all that you have taught me about junior cricket and development of the sport. You will be missed." - VImal Hardat (Cricket Canada - 1st Vice President)
"RIP Jack Kyle - you will be missed. 'If you can't catch a tennis ball, you can't catch a cricket ball. Reach out, suck in!'" - Joe Lovelace (Former Canadian U19 cricketer)
"It was an absolute pleasure to have grown up and participated in the Canadian junior cricket system that Jack built. He was a shining example of what positive cricket administration can accomplish and his legacy and contribution to cricket will be unmatched." - Ravin Moorthty (Cricket Canada - President)
Eddie Norfolk of canadacricket.com has supplied the following notes:
Mr. Jack Kyle became President of the Canadian Cricket Association at the November 1978 Annual General Meeting. This followed the resignation of the previous President, John Cole, after "eleven years of excellent service to our Association".
Writing as the new President in the "Kyle's Innings" column of the March 1979 edition of "The Canadian Cricketer", Mr. Kyle mentioned his introduction to the game:
"My (Jack Kyle's) involvement with cricket stems from one day in 1939 when our class in Vancouver's Maple Grove Elementary School was visited by Basil Robinson who announced the formation of a neightbourhood junior cricket team. From that beginning it was not long before I began playing senior cricket as well, including several years with the Vancouver Juniors C.C. before moving on to 1st Division Cricket. British Columbia has a long record of junior development and their 1978 senior Interprovincial side included 7 former B.C. junior players."
"It was only natural that 12 years ago I felt the need to put something back into the game which had been so good to me, by organizing a junior team in an area of Vancouver close to my original starting place. Encouraged by Peter Molyneux, the dean of Vancouver junior cricket, I moved along to Provincial and then National junior organizing and coaching.
"Many of you, I am sure, feel the same love for cricket and have the same wish to put something back into the game. There are many ways this can be done, from financial support to unpiring. I can assure you that there is no more satisfying way than junior development, whether it be recruiting, organizing, managing, or coaching juniors."
He then made specific mention of Martin Stead, a member of Canada's 1979 squad for the World Cup qualification event. A squad that then became Canada's squad for the 1979 Cricket World Cup due to success on the field in the qualifiers.
"When I look at Martin Stead, selected for Canada's World Cup team, and remember watching him at age 4 playing with a very small bat outside (and inside!) the boundary at Brockton Point I know that junior development is possible. See what you can do to develop juniors in your area."
A quick look at Jack Kyle's playing record, as known through scorecards on "Cricket Archive", shows he represented British Columbia in the inter-provincial Hiram Walker Cup in 1950, 1952 and 1955. He scored 93 before being run out in a B.C. score of 221 for eight wickets (68 overs) against Manitoba on August 2nd, 1955. He also played for Western Canada against Eastern Canada in 1958. He may well have appeared in other representative matches for which some records may exist at other sources.

As we begin 2013, it is a good time to reflect on the successes of the year just past. It is also a great time to commit to plans for the New Year. If you're a seedstock producer, those plans should include performance record collection. If you are a commercial cow-calf producer you should also collect some key performance records to use in management and bull battery evaluation. All too often in our busy schedules, performance record collection is viewed as a 'chore' and not a mission critical activity.
Complete documentation of your cattle's performance should be your objective as a seedstock producer. Some early planning and scheduling will help to focus effort and commitment on the performance testing of your cattle. Listed below (Table 1) are the some of the traits you should collect.
Once you collect the data make sure you transcribe it to appropriate forms or software and report the information to your breed association(s). After all, data stored away in a file never becomes useful information. Some of the measures (i.e. body condition score) also serve useful management purposes in addition to use in computation of genetic predictors.
If you are a commercial cow-calf producer, align your data collection with your marketing endpoint to aid in evaluation of previous sire selection decisions. Additionally, focus data collection efforts on areas that are high impact and low cost. Traits like mature weight and body condition score not only provide important information about your cow's genetics, these measures are also very helpful in monitoring current and future feed allocation.
It's important to recognize and seize opportunities for data collection. For instance, individual calf weaning weights could easily be replaced by draft weights if you only need to compute total calf production for herd level data analysis. If you have a large number of cattle, draft weights will be much easier and less expensive to collect. If you happen to have a small herd, collection of individual weights may be very easy. So, go ahead and pull out that brand new 2013 calendar and schedule dates for performance data collection.
More information on standardized performance record collection procedures is available at: http://www.beefimprovement.org/PDFs/guidelines/Guidelines-9th-Edition.pdf.

HENRIK Pedersen called time on his own playing career earlier this year but believes his former team-mate Kevin Davies has a few rounds left before deciding to do the same.
Former Reebok striker Pedersen chalked up 18 years as a professional, six of which were spent playing under Sam Allardyce in the Premier League.
He hung up his boots in December and moved full-time into the pub trade, managing a sports bar back home in Silkeborg named Målet, which translates to "The Goal."
And when Davies stepped out against Watford last weekend to make his 400th Bolton appearance the 37-year-old, who was well-known in these parts for his "peacock" goal celebration, admits he raised a glass in honour of the Wanderers legend.
"It's a great achievement," he told The Bolton News. "Only Kevin will know when he wants to leave the game. If he is fit and still enjoying himself then who knows how long he will play for?
"I looked at it and thought 'I have been told what to do every weekend for 18 years and now I have two kids, aged two and four, and I want to spend some time with them.
"In a few years then maybe I'll look to go back into management but it is an individual choice. No-one can make it for you.
"Kev was a great guy to work with, liked a laugh and a joke, and I'm pleased he has stayed with Bolton for all these years. He should be proud of his record."
Pedersen played for four seasons in the top flight with Davies before moving on to Hull City, and then finishing his career back in Denmark with Silkeborg IF, where he racked up more than 200 appearances.
He was also in the team as Davies made his debut against Manchester United in 2003 but admits his memories of the occasion at Old Trafford are clouded by another debutant that afternoon.
"Cristiano Ronaldo came on with about 30 minutes to go and absolutely tore us to pieces," he said. "I think it was only 1-0 when he came on, but it ended up being four and could have been more.
"It wasn't the start Kevin would have wanted, I'm sure. He'd been on trial in the summer so he'd already done the hard work in getting a deal with the club. Thankfully, things got better from there.
"He was exactly the right kind of striker for Big Sam's system. As a big, strong striker he adapted so quickly into the system and is always a handful for defenders."
Pedersen is due back in town later this month when Wanderers host Hull City, and is also hoping to join another Wanderers favourite, Jay Jay Okocha, at a reunion of the Tigers' promotion-winning squad of 2008 – a team managed by Phil Brown.
Both Davies and Pedersen have taken their first step towards a coaching career by passing the UEFA B Licence, and while the Dane has opted to spend some time out of the game, he believes the Wanderers skipper would be a prime candidate for management someday.
"I think if you are that experienced and been captain for so many games you should know a lot about it," he said. "Kevin has been there and done it. He knows how to handle the pressure and knows a bit about that side of things because when you are the skipper, you deal directly with the manager for certain things.
"That is a good start for him, and I think he would do well.
"In a few years I may go down that road too. But right now, I am enjoying doing what I want on a Saturday too much!"
Pedersen's pub can be found at Bindslevs Plads in Silkeborg and also has a Facebook page facebook.com/SportspubbenMalet.
And the former Whites star has already had a few friendly faces drop by since taking over the bar three months ago.
"We have had a few Bolton fans come in," he said. "In fact, the chairman of the Norwegian Supporters' Club dropped by when he was on holiday in Denmark."

Aaron Finch led Australia to a seven-wicket victory in their final World Twenty20 Group F match against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
With both teams playing for their pride as they headed into the match without a win so far in the tournament, it looked like it would be a tough battle with pre-tournament favourites Australia taking on the tournament hosts.
Finch made 71 as the Aussies passed their target of 154 with 15 balls remaining.
Bangladesh made three changes to the side that lost to Pakistan on Sunday as they brought in Sohag Gazi, Mominul Haque and 18-year-old seamer Taskin Ahmed, who made his debut, while Australia brought in Dan Christian and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and put his side in to bat at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.
The hosts suffered a disappointing start to their innings as they lost openers Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque early on as both fell to the bowling of Coulter-Nile.
Haque was the first to head back to the pavilion in the second over as he was caught out for a duck by Shane Watson, who took a simple catch at first slip.
Iqbal (five) survived two more overs before losing his wicket to a catch from Doug Bollinger at mid-off and departed the field with his head down to leave Bangladesh 12 for two.
But Shakib Al Hasan and Rahim managed to turn things around for the tournament hosts as they impressed out in the middle, piling on the runs to prove their side would not bow out without a win here.
Bangladesh lost their captain for 47 from 36 balls - including five boundaries and one maximum - as he struck the ball aiming for a boundary, only to be caught by Glenn Maxwell at deep midwicket off Watson's bowling to leave his side 124 for three.
And Shakib (66) joined him in the next over a ball after hitting a four as Maxwell pulled off a great catch off Bollinger's bowling.
That brought Nasir Hossain to the crease, who made 14 before losing his wicket to the last ball off the innings to Mitchell Starc as Bangladesh finished on 153 for five.
In reply Australia came out strong as openers Finch and David Warner put on an opening partnership of 98.
The Aussies lost their first wicket as Warner (48) was bowled middle stump by Al-Amin Hossain to the delight of the home fans.
Finch was next to go as he slashed the ball over the covers for Nasir Hossain to make a diving catch at deep point off Al-Amin Hossain, leaving Australia needing 29 runs off their last 19 balls.
Maxwell (five) was bowled in the next over by Taskin Ahmed before Cameron White (18) and captain George Bailey (11), who hit a four and a six off the last two balls, guided Australia to victory.

The Messy GirlProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
A messy girl had 24 socks in the drawer at her bedroom. There are 6 pairs of red socks, 5 pairs of green socks, and 1 pair of blue ones, but all the socks are mixed up. One night she wanted to go out and went to her bedroom for a pair of socks. As she turned on the light, the lamp didn't work, so she had to find her socks in complete darkness.
What's the smallest number of socks she had to take downstairs to be sure to have a matching pair?
AnswerShe only had to take 4 socks downstairs. If the first 3 she took were all of a different color, the 4th must match with one of the others.

DETROIT - When police surrounded the Frontier flight 623 inbound to Detroit from Denver, Shoshana Hebshi-Holt was as stunned as the other passengers.
Hebshi-Holt did not know why police were there, and neither did the men sitting next to her, whom she did not know.
She writes about the moments after police first arrived in her blog in a post called, "Some real Shock and Awe: Racially profiled and cuffed in Detroit."
Police officers dressed in military fatigues and carrying machine guns boarded the plane and headed toward her row.
"Someone shouted for us to place our hands on the seats in front of us, heads down," Hebshi-Holt writes. "The cops ran down the aisle, stopped at my row and yelled at the three of us to get up."
She and the two men were taken off the plane. She said no one would tell her what was happening or why she was being taken.
"I felt like I was invisible. I felt so helpless and shocked. I was being treated like an animal," she writes. "The three of us, two Indian men living in the Detroit metro area, and me, a half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife living in suburban Ohio, were being detained."
She said she was placed in a cell and told an officer would be in to strip search her.
After the strip search, she was interviewed by Homeland Security and the FBI.
After more questions and checking, Hebshi-Holt was let go, as were the two men.
She said one of the FBI agents apologized saying, "It's 9/11 and people are seeing ghosts. They are seeing things that they aren't."

NVIDIA 326.80 Beta Drivers Available – Splinter Cell: Blacklist Readyby Jarred Walton on 8/20/2013 4:14 PM EST
4 Comments
Back to Article
jwh7 - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkI think the listed fixes in this beta are also quite noteworthy, beyond the SC:BL update. There are many which are not just game-specific:
Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 Fixed Issues
Some 27" 1440p monitors with Korean B grade panels are not detected. [1329305]
The NVIDIA Driver fails to install on some systems. [1329909]
TDR error may occur when the system is idle for several hours. [1330455]
[Metro: Last Light]: Game performance drops with latest PhysX software. [1316114]
[GeForce GTX TITAN][Sniper Elite V2]: The benchmark crashes when Advanced Shadows is turned on. [1253786]
[GeForce GTX 650Ti][Surround]: When three displays connected in 2D Surround mode, the Windows Start button cannot be clicked. [1299351]
[NFS]: There is corruption on the screen when playing the game. [1315717]
[Surround][Far Cry 3]: With 3D Surround enabled, the system hangs when changing the in-game Surround resolution. [1256120]
[SLI][Windows Magnifier]: With SLI enabled, the application crashes when attempting to close. [1339556]
[SLI]: TDR errors may occur when launching or switching between multiple YouTube videos. [1246309]
[SLI][Sleeping Dogs]: The game crashes when played with SLI enabled. [1327315] Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkTrue, I didn't list that section -- I missed it while scanning the document, thinking that I had seen all the latest fixes. A bit confusing that the PDF shows gaming fixes, then gaming fixes for 325 series drivers, then back to 326.80 application fixes, then on to a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, use the drivers as you see fit. :-) Reply
chizow - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - link"it's available for all the major platforms—PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, along with PC. Obviously you don't need the new drivers for any of the consoles, and if it's like other recent Ubisoft titles you'll need to play it through Ubisoft's Uplay service. (Cue the groaning.)"
I know a lot of people cringe at these publisher-required login/DRM schemes, but the big takeaway from it is that it is actually releasing same day as consoles and PC gamers aren't being treated as 2nd-class gaming citizens by Ubisoft anymore. If Uplay was required to give Ubisoft the peace of mind to release their games on PC in a timely manner, so be it, necessary evil, imo. Reply
Jay77 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkOK, but all the games I have that use Uplay are freebies ('incentives' might be a better term), If Ubi is good with that "so be it" indeed. Reply

Mel Gibson Gossip
Mel Gibson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The two Maxes
Wenn, FameFlynet
Tom Hardy at the Mad Max: Fury Road premiere last night. Yeah. He looked hot. Intense, as always, which is part of it, I think. It's not like you're always citing his smile as his best feature. So Tom Hardy is the new Mad Max. The original Mad Max, as you know, is Mel Gibson who made a surprise appearance and they posed together with director George Miller. Full Story
Gaby Hoffmann's Revenge on Mel Gibson
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
Out of nowhere today, Gaby Hoffmann is back! As if it wasn't delightful enough just to see an old familiar/beloved face from your childhood (or mine anyway), she's returned to reveal wonderfully horrible details about Mel Gibson: "He screamed at me. Oh, God, he really screamed at me," is how she described working with Mel, otherwise known as The Perpetual Motion Machine of Hate and Creepiness. Full Story
Michael Fassbender's drinking buddies
Ari Perilstein/ Michael Buckner/ Getty
Michael Fassbender was in Jonah Hex???????????? This is what I just wrote to Sarah on BBM. Followed by... HAHAHAHAHAHAAH! I only learned this because I did a search on the photo database for "Josh Brolin + Michael Fassbender" and these shots of him with Brolin and Megan Fox at Comic-Con came up. Full Story
Messy Wing-Douches
It's like they were meant to be friends, Mel Gibson and Gerard Butler. Picture it -- both sweaty and red-faced, both spray spit when they talk, both ...leer. Now they get to leer together. Which is a fantasy for some women and for others, like me, is straight up gross. Can you imagine the two of them breathing all over you at the bar, asking if you'd be down with a double motorboat? Me, I probably wouldn't have much to worry about, seeing as I'm unmistakeably Asian and therefore ethnically unworthy of Mel's attraction. Full Story
Jodie Foster comes out at the Golden Globes
Jason Merritt/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Handout/ Getty
When does the Cecil B DeMille Award recipient ever take over the Golden Globes? Never, right? It's the only moment of the show without suspense. The whole room knows, weeks and weeks in advance, who's getting it. And even if the recipient gives a great speech, it's rarely great enough to dominate the post-show discussion. Full Story
RDJ to present to Jodie
Wenn, David Livingston/ Brian To/ Getty
When the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced last month that Jodie Foster would receive the Cecil B DeMille award at the Golden Globes this year, I wrote that it would be amazingly awkward, though perhaps unlikely, that it would be Mel Gibson to present it to her. Click here Full Story
Here's a sign that you're done
Written by Jacek It's been a while since I've written and because this piece lacks a boob analysis component and I'll largely be speaking out of my ass if I attempt to put much more than the basic facts into it, I'll keep this quick. Full Story
Dear Mel: you're done
It's been two weeks of Mel Gibson leaks. Summary: he's racist, he's allegedly abusive, he allegedly beat the sh-t out of his baby mother Oksana Grigorieva, and they're haggling over it in court, and there are tapes. She denies releasing the tapes. And so far there have only been transcripts. Full Story
Midlife Cock kills The Beaver
The midlife cock belongs to Mel Gibson for obvious reasons. The Beaver is the title of his upcoming film, directed by Jodie Foster, originally planned for release in October. That is until this week, when Radar published excerpts from recordings of an abusive argument alleged to involve Gibson and his estranged baby mother Oksana Grigorieva. Full Story
Russian Polish Drama
I wrote about the Russian drama a few weeks ago – click here for a refresher. Now the Russian drama has taken on a Polish twist. See? That Oksana doesn't play. She promised some good smut and (for her) a payday at the end of it. Full Story
Russian Drama
Please. There's nothing like it. Michelle, Duana, and I were on a trip in Europe a couple of years ago along with a group of Russian journalists. Jesus. The drama. Every day they'd roll in late, they'd hold up the bus, they'd clean out the minibar and fight over the cheque, within five minutes of entering an establishment they'd have a bankroller hooked up to pay for their drinks.

Bassett 52SC2B 15X12 D-Hole Lite 5 on 4.75 2 In BS Black Beaded Wheel
Important Messages:
- This item ships directly from the manufacturer. It may take an additional 45 business days for Bassett to ship this item.
- This item ships via Ground Shipping only. Expedited and Air shipping options are not available.
InfoThe classic Bassett Racing Wheel D-Hole center design is combined with the 15" diameter lightweight spun form rim shells and available in a variety of widths from 7" to 14" wide. Bassett produces the strongest, lightest and truest steel wheel shells on the market using its three in-house CNC metal spinning lathes. Lightweight and low runout (under .030") thanks to spun-form wheel shells produced in-houseReinforced torque ring and forged coining on center increases durabilityThe 5/8" valve stem hole is located behind the center to avoid clippingLarger D-holes are designed to facilitate handling and lower pit stop times NOTE: For easier tire mounting, these wheels do not have a tire safety bead. For dirt applications, make sure you select a wheel with a safety bead at the time of order.
The following must be considered when using Bassett wheels for on highway / street use applications when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Bassett Wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of and must be balanced using the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout, as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.

Did you know?
Pretoriuskop is the oldest rest camp in the Kruger National Park.
Pretoriuskop is the oldest rest camp in the Kruger National Park. Here you'll find this Trichilia emitica, an expansive Natal mahogany, where one of the park's first rangers, Harry Wolhuter, held his daily staff meetings.
Wolhuter was a colourful character in his own right. He sometimes dressed himself in the skin of a lion that he had killed single-handedly, earning him the Swazi name of 'Lindana', which means 'loin cloth'. The Pretoriuskop Camp was originally the garden outside his hut. It remains the only camp in the park where non-indigenous trees are allowed to grow, because the park rangers feel that the red flamboyants and purple bougainvilleas that he planted are a nostalgic part of the park's history.
And of course, there is his 'indaba tree'. These days, it offers shelter to picnicking tourists and a sometimes a herd of plump impala who often come into the camp.
The Natal mahogany makes an ideal indaba tree, with its wide-spreading crown and dark, glossy leaves casting a dense shade through summer and winter, when the African sun still burns white hot. It also has sweet smelling, creamy green flowers to add to the appeal of sitting beneath it. Its round fruits split open to reveal red and black seeds that are particularly delectable to birds and bees.
Please note, that although the tree's seeds are edible, their outer covering is poisonous.
The sign on the tree offers the following information:
Trichilla emetic
Natal mahogany; Rooi-essenhout (Afrikaans); Umkhuhla (Zulu); Mosikiri (Tswana)
A medium to large, handsome, evergreen tree, 20m in height. Flowers creamy green, fragrant. Fruit a brown capsule. The black seeds, almost completely enveloped by the scarlet aril, are fascinating, as they have the vacant expression of a doll's eyes.
The wood works well and takes a good polish but should be treated against borer attack. Suitable for furniture, household utensils, shelving and dugout canoes. In African medicine, the bark is soaked in warm water and the liquid used as an enema. The seeds provide a superior quality oil. This oil is rubbed into cuts made on a fractured limb in order to hasten healing and is also used to anoint the body generally. It may be taken internally for the relief of rheumatism and can be made into a good quality soap.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
The Indaba Tree is inside the Pretoriuskop camp in the Kruger National Park, close to the western boundary. The closest gates into the park are Numbi Gate and Phabeni Gate.
Best time to visit
The best time to see game in the Kruger National Park is during the drier winter and early spring months from May to September. However, in the summer rainy season, the foliage on the trees becomes denser and the park's natural beauty is more apparent. There will also be lots of baby animals and the migrant birds will have returned. Try to do drives early in the morning and in the late afternoon/evening, when your chances of seeing game are the best.
Tours to do
There are many tour packages, guided game hikes and driving routes through the Kruger National Park.
Get around
You can drive around in the park in your own car, or arrange tours with the park's officials.
What will it cost
Visitors to the Kruger National Park have to pay a conservation fee for every day they spend in the park. Check the SANParks website for details or call or email the park (details listed above).
Length of stay
Visitors can spend as little as a day or as long as they like in the Kruger National Park. It is the size of a small country, so there's plenty to do and see.
What to pack
Cool clothes for the day, warmer clothes for the night, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a swimsuit, a camera, binoculars and walking shoes.
Where to stay
There is loads of accommodation both in and around the Kruger National Park to suit just about every budget. Try to book well in advance, though, as it is not always easy to secure bookings in the Kruger.
What's happening
The Kruger National Park is an enormous park, and tourism opportunities abound in every surrounding area. Highlights near the park include the Blyde River Canyon, Mac Mac Falls, God's Window and picturesque towns like Sabi and White River.

Let's make Fallout New York real!
Hello dear Fallout fans,
As you all know, the last iteration in the Fallout series puts a lot of emphasis on its location(D.C. and Las Vegas). We would love to see a future installment based on New York City. We think that, if we gather enough support, we might see this idea come true.
We are asking for your help: we created a tumblr http://falloutnyc.tumblr.com/ where you could submit any content about it. Be it concept art, stories, or whatever you can contribute with. We are very serious into showing this to Bethesda if we gather enough ideas, and we believe that a lot of user-generated content, which is a big proof of support, will have a big impact on the possibilities of the game being made. And who knows, it can be very rewarding to see our own ideas make it into the game. You can also like the facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fallo...58588377493899
Needless to say, we do not intent to appropriate any content.

A Legend
Charles Hardin Holley (Buddy Holly) was born on September 7, 1936 in the small town of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas to Lawrence Odell Holley and Ella Pauline Drake Holley. Charles was named after his grandfather, James Charles Drake and Hardin after his other grandfather, John Hardin Holley. In Texas most everyone had a nickname, and the family always called him "Buddy."
He was five when he won $5 for singing "Down the River of Memories" at a local talent show. At the age of eleven he began piano and violin lessons. At Lubbock High School he studied printing and drafting. He also made pocket books, wallets and leather covers for guitars. In the early 1950s he formed a country-oriented Western and Bop Band with high school friends Bob Montgomery and Larry Welborn.
In 1956 Buddy changed his last name to Holly after an accidental misspelling on his Decca recording contract. Buddy's band was called The Crickets. He was described by critic Bruce Elder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll." His works and innovations inspired and influenced contemporary and later musicians, notably The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan, and exerted a profound influence on popular music. Holly was among the first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Holly #13 among "The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time".
Buddy died at the age of 22 in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa on February 3, 1959. Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson also died in the crash. The day was later called "The day the music died".
Funeral services were held in the Tabernacle Baptist Church and he was buried in the Lubbock Cemetery on Saturday, February 7, 1959. The name inscribed on his tombstone is Buddy Holley.
On a personal note Charles Hardin Holley aka Buddy Holly was my 3rd cousin. Buddy died too soon but his music and influence on the culture will never die!

Standards are our Friends
|NMEA adds installation guidelines to its recent string of successes.
Here's a paradox that gets me grinning: The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) seems to be doing a terrific job of bringing standards to increasingly more complex and interrelated technology, yet the center of this work is not some humming urban office suite, but rather a quiet parson's office in a little church out on the tip of a Maine peninsula!
The parson is Larry Anderson, who has chaired NMEA's several standards committees since 1999. During that time the venerable 0183 data standard has firmly established itself as the global link between GPS and mapping devices in cars, planes, computers, and, of course, boats. The ambitious 2000 standard, which allows multiple data talkers and listeners to share one "plug and play" cable, was introduced a year ago and will really begin to show its stuff this winter (which we'll be covering). NMEA's latest offering is an Installation Standard for electronics on boats 25 to 150 feet. I've just read through it, and I'm impressed.
Forging technology standards in a fast-evolving and capitalistic industry has got to be hard work. Imagine corralling a bunch of manufacturers--who tend to be proud (and secretive) about their own gear and disparaging of their competitors'--and getting them to agree on one way to do something. And to see how consumer-unfriendly technology can be when the process falters, try buying a simple cable to connect your cellphone to a marine antenna (see "Electronics Q&A," this story). Thus, I was quite curious to meet Anderson, who is, in the words of NMEA executive director Beth Kahr, the "driving force" behind the organization's standards work.
