Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/7/2014 (1140 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The worst of this summer's flooding is passing down the Assiniboine River with a cautious optimism settling in — for now.
At a noon briefing, provincial officials said the crest on the Assiniboine River at the Portage Reservoir crested at midnight last night at 52,100 cubic feet per second (cfs).
Flows on the Portage Diversion are about 34,100 cfs and the flow on the Assiniboine River downstream of the diversion is 18,000 cfs. Flows on the Assiniboine River between Portage la Prairie and Headingley are expected to stay at about 18,000 cfs for several days with a new forecast for a second crest at the Portage Reservoir calling for a peak flow between 46,000 and 47,500 cfs July 14 to 16.
Only one section of dike west of St. Francois Xavier showed signs overnight of minor seepage, which was picked up by a Canadian Forces Aurora surveillance aircraft. Work to shore up the dike started this morning.
The province also said it's still unlikely a controlled release will take place at the Hoop and Holler bend unless the dikes cannot safely contain the flow. The site remains ready to use should there be an urgent need to release water from the Assiniboine to reduce pressure on the dikes.
Meanwhile, the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie has lifted its mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders for Delta Beach along the diversion. Over the next few hours, some of the 500 military personnel deployed Saturday to sandbag homes will return to base.
Flood fighters are now watching what's happening on the upper Assiniboine and Qu'Appelle rivers to the west, and the building of a second crest.
A revised forecast for the second peak in Brandon shows levels could be above Sunday's first peak of 34,330 cfs, but below the 2011 levels of 36,730 cfs. Predicted peak flows of between 34,000 and 36,000 cfs are expected to last for a day or two between today and July 13.
The higher water in the west damaged nine homes in St. Lazare that are outside the community's ring dike. A 35-person team of redeployed forest firefighters are on the way to St. Lazare to assist with the flood situation and the province has asked for a report on why the homes did not have adequate protection.
As of this morning, 56 municipalities and communities are still under local states of emergency.

Oil in New York dropped for the first time in three days as European policy makers met to discuss aid for Greece and Japan's economy shrank.
Futures fell as much as 0.9 per cent as euro-area finance ministers gathered in Brussels after Greek lawmakers passed a 2013 budget needed to unlock bailout funds. Japan's economy contracted last quarter at an annual rate of 3.5 per cent, the most since the earthquake and tsunami in early 2011.
"As long as there is no resolution to the Greek crisis markets will remain under pressure," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based energy hedge fund. "The 3.5 per cent contraction of the Japanese economy speaks to demand concern. This will have an impact on other Asian economies and we will see an impact of on consumption."
Crude oil for December delivery fell 62 cents, or 0.7 per cent, to $US85.45 a barrel at 12:14 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices are down 13 per cent this year.
Brent oil for December settlement declined 47 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to $US108.93 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The finance ministers probably won't approve 31.5 billion euros ($US40 billion) in fresh loans to Greece and will agree to prevent the country from defaulting 5 billion euros of bills that mature on Nov. 16, a European official said last week. The European sovereign debt crisis began in Greece three years ago and has spread to Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Cyprus.
'Large Risks'
The so-called troika that oversees Greece's bailouts said it sees "very large risks" to the Greek program, according to a draft report obtained by Bloomberg. The troika comprises the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
The decline in Japan's gross domestic product followed a revised 0.3 per cent gain the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said in Tokyo. A drop of 3.4 per cent was the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 23 economists.
Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said yesterday that the oil market is "very balanced." Consumers are also happy with prices, he told reporters in Abu Dhabi yesterday, adding that the kingdom produced 9.7 million barrels a day in October.
Refineries Down
Crude rose earlier, following gasoline, amid concern that East Coast supplies will slip because of Hurricane Sandy. Gasoline gained as much as 1.8 per cent before falling back.
Phillips 66's Bayway refinery in New Jersey may restart Nov. 19, the company said Nov. 5. Hess Corp. said last week that no schedule is set for the return of its Port Reading plant. The two plants combined can produce 308,000 barrels a day.
In the New York City metropolitan area, where fuel rationing was introduced to ease long lines, 72 per cent of gas stations were able to sell gasoline as of Nov. 9, the Energy Department said yesterday.
"The gasoline situation in the New York area is slowly improving," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts.
China's net crude imports rose to 5.52 million barrels a day in October, the highest level since May, the General Administration of Customs said Nov. 10 in Beijing. Industrial production was up 9.6 per cent in October from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said Nov. 9.
"We're treading water here," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. "The Chinese oil demand numbers over the weekend are providing support while the Japanese economic data are putting downward pressure in the market. We should test last week's low of $US84.05 this week."

Samsung's TV Discovery Service Enables TV to Smartphone/Tablet Streamingby Anand Lal Shimpi on 2/22/2013 4:17 PM EST

chizow - Friday, February 22, 2013 - linkSamsung is a great company to be a fan of, they're the Sony of this generation, a huge conglomerate that makes everything you would want to improve quality of life. But while they are great at looking ahead, they are absolutely terrible at maintaining backward compatibility or supporting new features on old devices.
Sure, you can argue this is the hook to get you to upgrade, but I think it's also hurting the adoption rate for some of these features and may eventually upset customers to the point they look elsewhere.
I know first-hand having bought a high-end Samsung D7000 HDTV, one of their first real pushes for the whole SmartTV thing. It's very poorly supported, slow, clunky, with few updates. Even something like streming of Amazon Prime content was promised at one point but totally abandoned now.
Anyways, long story short, don't expect Samsung to fix or patch in anything you don't get when you purchase your device. They're too busy steaming ahead to see what got trampled and forgotten along the way. Reply
daar - Saturday, February 23, 2013 - linkGood points, however I will consider Samsung in a better light than Sony as long as they don't try to shove expensive proprietary formats along with their products. Reply
reininop - Saturday, February 23, 2013 - linkAre you sure your TV doesn't support Amazon streaming? I have the C7500 and mine has it, although they put it in a really weird spot. I have a "Yahoo!" button on my remote and that is where the Amazon widget is. There isn't an app as there is for Netflix, Hulu, etc. But it does allow me to stream my prime videos. Reply
bluepromo01 - Sunday, December 29, 2013 - linkI used to watch tv in my new samsung phone, i love to watch news and social networks, I hope everyone should experience how it works the phone efficient and effective in someways. enjoy the rest of your phones. .<a href="http://tigerdirect.bluepromocode.com/tigerdirect-p... direct coupons Reply

GrannyP - Friday, December 25, 2015 - linkI purchased a Samsung UN46 TV in 2013. Now I own a inoperable Samsung TV. A little history, I am 65 years young. I am used to TV's lasting a few years. Over a month ago I started contacting Samsung about a On-Off situation (audio/video) every 5 minutes. My TV was out of warranty 1 year earlier. Several attempts were made on my part over their website and by phone to correct the situation. I could not upgrade the software to determine what was wrong. The Smart TV did not notify me of the need to upgrade firmware. Finally I find that the motherboard is faulty. Three hundred dollars is needed to correct it. Two years and $300.00 just doesn't compute. I have read that others are having similar situations. Reply

25 things to do this spring in Boston for under $25
From Swan Boat rides to bike rides to kayaking on the Charles, Boston is filled with fun (and cheap) things to do in the spring. Check out 25 of our season picks — all under $25.
1. Take a bike ride
Spend a sunny day exploring the city on two wheels.
Need a bike? Rent one from Urban Adventours. For $25, you'll receive a two-hour rental, which includes a bike, map, lock, and a bike map.
2. Stop by Faneuil Hall
A visit to the historic Faneuil Hall allows you to get out and enjoy some of the key aspects of Boston all at once: mild weather, history, shopping, street performers, and (of course) food.
3. Walk the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway
Explore the mile-long Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a series of four parks connecting the North End, the Wharf District, Dewey Square, and Chinatown.
To walk the entire path without retracing your footsteps, start at either Chinatown or the North End.
4. Ride a swan boat
Since 1877, the Paget family's iconic swan boats have taken passengers on picturesque voyages through the Public Garden's peaceful lagoon. You can check out the historic Swan Boats of Boston this spring starting on April 19, with services running through the end of the season on Sept. 21.
Tickets cost $3 for adults and $1.50 for children between the ages of 2 and 15.
5. Unclutter your life and earn some extra cash
Do some spring cleaning.
Go through your closet, basement, attic, and junk drawer and have a yard sale of your not-so-prized possessions.
Don't have a yard? Try selling on eBay.
6. Explore Boston's historic trails
Get a glimpse at the past as you take a nice walk through Boston on one of the city's many heritage trails.
In addition to the ever popular Freedom Trail, Boston also pays homage to its past with its historic Irish Heritage Trail and Black Heritage Trail.
The city also has a Women's Hertiage Trail that celebrates the important roles women have played in Boston's history.
Pictured: A guide takes a group of sightseers on a tour of the Freedom Trail.
7. Watch a Red Sox game
If there's one feeling synonymous with spring, it's the excitement surrounding another season of baseball at Fenway. While it may be a little tough scoring a game ticket for under $25 (though upper bleacher seats run $12, they're scarce), it won't cost much to congregate with other die-hard fans. You'd be hard pressed to find a bar like the Cask N' Flagon (pictured) or Game On! not simulcasting the game.
8. Trivia night
You don't have to be "Jeopardy!'' champion Ken Jennings to have fun at your local pub's trivia night.
Try testing your knowledge at PJ Ryan's in Somerville (pictured), which has a pretty tough pub quiz every Tuesday night at 10 p.m.
9. Head to the circus
Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!
Check out the 36th season of the Big Apple Circus at City Hall Plaza on March 28 to May 11. Tickets start at $25. For more information, visit www.bigapplecircus.org.
10. Have a game night
Board games aren't just for kids.
Grab a group of friends and spend a rainy spring day with a classic like Monopoly or Scrabble.
11. Get sultry at the Havana Club
Feel hot, hot, hot.
Dance away the winter blues and welcome warmer weather with salsa lessons at the Havana Club in Central Square. For $12, you get an hour long lesson followed by four hours of dancing. Lessons start at 9 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, no partner required.
12. Kayak on the Charles
As the rivers around Boston warm up this season, grab your paddle and take to the waterways.
Charles River Canoe & Kayak offers adult, single kayak rentals starting at $15.
13. Go read a book
Sit by a window and watch the rain fall on the city inside the cozy confines of the Boston Public Library.
While reading books can always be done free of charge, the BPL offers a variety of programs and author talks.
For a detailed list, visit www.bpl.org/news/upcomingevents.
14. Watch the flowers bloom
There are dozens of public gardens across metro Boston where you can see nature work its magic.
See spring hit its stride by watching tulips at Boston Common or Magnolia trees (pictured) at Harvard's Arnold Arboretum.
15. Relax at Jamaica Pond
Jamaica Pond, sandwiched between Jamaica Plain and Brookline, is ideal for simply relaxing. Bound by a 1.5-mile-long walking path, this idyllic pond may be small, but still features boating and even fishing. Rowboats are available for rent at $10 per hour and sailboats are $15 per hour.
16. Join a kickball league
Looking for a fun alternative to baseball as the temperatures rise this season? Join one of Massachusetts' several kickball divisions spread across Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston and get some exercise. Registration is open now and games get under way on diamonds across metro Boston starting in April.
17. Go to a museum
Boston has a myriad of museums just waiting for you to explore this spring.
Head to the Harvard Museum of Natural History to check out some of the world's forgotten, ancient creatures. Admission is $12 for adults and $8 for children ages 3-18.
18. Do some market shopping
The SoWa Open Market kicks off its 10th year on Sunday, May 4, featuring a huge selection of indie designers and artists, food trucks, specialty food vendors, and more. The market will be open every Sunday from May to October, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
19. Dine al fresco
Warmer weather means the return of outdoor dining.
Enjoy a leisurely brunch, lunch, or cup of coffee in the sunshine. Check out classic Boston locales like Stephanie's on Newbury and Boston Beer Works.
Not an outdoor person? Enjoy a meal by the open windows at Sonsie (pictured) or Dillons Restaurant & Bar in Back Bay.
20. Hit the lanes
Channel your inner Jeff Lebowski this spring and hit the lanes over at Kings in Back Bay.
Tuesday through Thursday, bowling costs just $5.50 per person per game before 6 p.m.
21. View an exhibit at the MFA
March 21 through July 6, the Museum of Fine Arts will be featuring "Dragon and Clouds'' a collection by Japanese artist Soga Shōhaku, as well as several other exhibitions. Admission is $25 for adults, $23 for students, and free for youths aged 7-17 weekends and weekedays after 3pm. Children 6 and under enter for free.
22. Fly a kite
After all the blizzards Boston's been hit with this past winter, you're probably sick of sitting inside.

In need of some late-night fun? Go see a midnight movie at the Coolidge Corner Theatre.

This product makes me feel like a million bucks!
Comments about oily skin kit:
Love it!
Comments about oily skin kit:
After years of blackheads and acne...this did the trick.
I love this set so much! In just 3 days I can already seen a positive change in my face! Some pros (as compared to other brands): No horrible smell, it doesn't bleach my towels, it hasn't burned a hold in my face....
I love that the directions for the use of each product can be found online, on the packaging, and on the individual bottles. It has taken me a few tries to get out of my head and onboard with how to use the products. Issue 1: physically spraying the toner on my face. I'm so used to avoiding spraying my face that it has taken an embarrassing number of tries to get this to work. Issues 2: Where, specifically, should the Total Eye Care be placed on my face? Issue 3: I have a smallish head; it is taking a while to figure out how much of the Oil Control Lotion to use.
I have only been using it 3/4 days and already see a huge difference in the oily shine to my face, especially when wearing makeup. The clay cleanser is a god send, it feels so refreshing when you wash it off. Highly recommend this kit to try before buying the big bottles!!
I am 19 years old and have been struggling with acne for quite some time. I went to dermatologists but they just prescribed me medicine and creams that dried out my skin. I went into an esthetician..by far the best decision I have ever made. I got a hydra facial using Dermalogica products and started using the oily skin kit and my skin has had amazing results just in the last month and a half. Do not regret this decision at all!!!!
My skin is crazy oily, it drives me crazy! I just bought the kit a few days ago, used it the night I got it before I went to bed, and WOW! I noticed a huge difference, my boyfriend complimented how soft my skin felt and the next morning, the few pimples I was getting, were shrunk and going away! I'm totally in love.
However, the lotion needs to have a new package or something! I squirts out so much, so fast! But other then that, it's great!
So far, I have used the cleanser and the oil control lotion. I like both of them. The main problem with the kit (and I have noticed this across the Dermalogica line) is the packaging. It stinks. The toner pump immediately jams. The oil control lotion blots out way too much product. The cleanser gets clogged in the dispensing hole. Really Dermalogica, if you read these comments you know that your packaging is bad. So FIX IT. I tried the sunscreen in the store and the packaging was so bad I didn't purchase it. A good product horribly presented is a no re-purchase.
First off I'd like to say how my skin is more combo-oily (with certain areas of irritation/sensitivity). I love how the dermal clay cleanser is a clay consistency you can feel it really working on oily areas. The scrub is refreshing and definitely not too abrasive at all! Toner is refreshing and you can use it when your face needs a pick me up throughout the day. Oil control lotion is wonderful you can feel that it does control oil but does not dry you out too much. And I love how the eye cream has SPF in it.
Loved all of these products! These are the first products I have found that have done something for my oily skin!!

By Janna Dutton, J.D.
Originally published in the Summer 2010 issue of PDF News & Review.
Everyone benefits from planning ahead for legal issues and health care. Planning ensures that your needs and preferences will be met in the case of an unexpected illness, disability or chronic disease like Parkinson's disease (PD). If you or a loved one is already living with Parkinson's, the process is especially important to your lifestyle and peace of mind.
There are several elements to contemplate when planning for your future with Parkinson's. Among the most important are making provisions for long-term care (including Social Security and Medicare); designating an agent for your health care; and appointing someone to execute power of attorney for your finances and a living trust. This article begins a four-part series covering each of these issues, beginning with long-term care.
What is Long-Term Care?
When most people think of long-term care, they think of a nursing home (now called a skilled nursing facility). But the concept also encompasses such support systems as assisted-living communities and the in-home aides whom you may bring in to help with personal needs such as dressing, shopping, eating and cooking. It can also include community services, such as Meals-on-Wheels. You may need one or more of these services, depending upon when you were diagnosed, the rate at which your Parkinson's disease is progressing, and your preferences. Some people are happy in an assisted-living community; others prefer to stay home and bring in home health aides.
Once you have decided upon your preferred plan for long-term and other medical care, you can estimate how much it will cost and assess how to pay for it (see examples below).
How Can You Pay for Long-Term Care?
Medicare — whether it is the general policy, or supplemental policies and/or the drug benefit — is one of the most important resources that a person with Parkinson's has for his or her health care. A federal insurance benefit, it is not tied to assets and income, but requires that you be 65 or older or determined disabled under the rules of the Social Security Administration (see section on page 7) and have worked a sufficient number of quarters paying into the social security system. If you are under age 65 and seeking Medicare due to disability, you must undergo a two-year waiting period from the date of eligibility prior to receiving free hospital insurance coverage (Medicare Part A). Once the two-year wait period is complete, you are then eligible to enroll in Medicare Medical Insurance (Part B) by paying a monthly premium.
Medicare A and B cover doctor's visits, lab tests, hospital stays, physical, occupational and speech therapy and more. Note that there are usually deductibles associated with such services. Typically you can purchase supplemental insurance to cover these costs.
The biggest gap in Medicare coverage is the cost of custodial long-term care, meaning nursing home care or in-home assistance with activities of daily living. It does cover, on a short-term basis (typically up to 100 days) skilled care in a nursing facility, when the need for such care follows hospitalization.
Parkinson's medications can be costly. If you are enrolled in Medicare A and B, you can also join a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) and a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D). Part C plans provide additional coverage but may also require an additional premium. The drug plan has also a large gap known as the "donut hole." What this means is that once you have reached an annual spending limit — typically around $2,700 — coverage stops, and you are responsible for the cost of prescription drugs for the rest of the year until you meet your plan's designated cap. Then, Medicare begins paying again. In some cases, the plan will cover generic drugs, but not brand-name drugs.
Private Health Insurance
The next step is to review your options for health insurance coverage. These may include insurance through your employer, if you are still working. If you have insurance, find out whether your policy covers the services you may need. Pay attention to gaps — for example, does your policy cover in-home or nursing care? If you are not working or are not enrolled in a group policy, what are your choices? One possibility may be to continue your employer's health care plan at your own expense. This option is referred to as COBRA, named for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. It may allow you to extend your insurance for up to 36 months after you leave your place of employment.
Private Funds
Next, review your assets. Do you have income to help pay for your health care? What about assets such as savings accounts, stocks, bonds and pensions? Do you have family members with whom you can live or who will be able to help you pay for care?
If you have the resources, you may want to look into purchasing Long-Term Care Insurance, which is designed to cover many expenses, including nursing home care. Many of these policies are not currently available for people living with PD, but there may soon be a new program available under the health care reform law for anyone who is employed. Learn more at www.kff.org/healthreform/upload/8069.pdf.
If you have very few resources, you may be eligible for Medicaid. Medicaid will always cover skilled nursing facilities and, depending upon your state's program, may cover assisted-living facilities and in-home programs. If it is likely that you will need long-term care, and you have no source of paying for it other than Medicaid, start planning right now. Medicaid is complex. You will need to research what it covers in your state and take steps that will protect your assets. We will discuss this subject in detail in the fourth article in this series.
Social Security Disability
Another resource that can help some people with PD to pay for long-term care and health care insurance is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). To be eligible, you must: 1) have paid into Social Security for a requisite number of quarters (usually 40, but this number is reduced for younger individuals); 2) demonstrate that you are unable to engage in substantial gainful employment because you are medically impaired; and 3) show that your impairment is expected to last at least 12 months.
If you meet these requirements, you should qualify. The Social Security Administration uses what is called the Listing of Impairments for Parkinson's and other diseases. It determines the level of Parkinson's symptoms that a person has to prove to be considered disabled enough in order to be prevented from doing any gainful activity. In brief, you must have: "significant rigidity, bradykinesia (slow movement), or tremor in two extremities, which, singly or in combination, result in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movements, or gait and station." The benefit you can receive is based on your earnings record. Once you have been determined disabled for SSDI purposes for 24 months, you can then begin receiving Medicare benefits.
Making Your Plan
Looking into long-term care now will help to ensure that your wishes are met. It can help you to take control of your Parkinson's care and your life in the future. In the Fall issue of News & Review, look for part two of this series, which will cover tips for designating a health care agent.

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Hi, I'm back!
Hey guys, sorry I've been a little dormant lately, but I'm back now! ^^ Okay, I'm just going to ask a question: who would be interested if I set up a Naruto Fanon for people to join? I've been rolling it around in my head, and now I'm seriously thinking about it. I've been thinking through it via Scratchpad, and now I believe it may work. What say you?
By the way, the "new" (coughcough) background looks a little unusual, and probably would raise objections regarding neutrality. I'm sure we all want this 'pedia to be as neutral as possible, but using just one village symbol might lean everything towards where most of the story takes place instead of the whole Naruto Universe.
Also, can I be ranked...? I see you guy set up the administrative ranks of the 'pedia. -Dubtiger 12:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- ^_^ Administrative ranks are just alias names for real MediaWiki tags. You can't really try to get a higher status. It was chosen that registered users would be Genin. Technically the symbol is a center point of the show because the home village of the plot is Konoha. But if you can make a good image then you can try. Just note that this background image is actually only 128x128px so if you do create an image, we won't take a large wallpaper type image. Only a small image which can be tiled. It's for sanity reasons, you're not viewing the wiki to view the background, you're viewing it to view the content. So the background shouldn't slow down the loading time. Also, remember transparency. The background is also used in the sidebar as you see, and because it's transparent we can modify the background color using the css background color instead of using a second image. ~Dantman(talk) current discussion Jun 4, 2007 @ 21:57 (UTC)
naruto fanon?
hmmm..... ok.. 8s ur choice,, i will support you..Kaozshadowz 07:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

A CAMPAIGNER has sent a warning to developers who are planning to turn a beauty spot into a wedding venue.
Developers want to build the wedding and functions venue on an island at Wards Reservoir in Belmont, better known as the Blue Lagoon.
The plans were revealed when Cheshire-based Walsingham Planning asked Blackburn with Darwen Council for its opinion on whether an environmental impact assessment would be needed before a planning application was submitted.
The site is owned by Blue Lagoon Heritage, which has maintained it for the past few of years and is looking to recoup some of its expenses.
Railton Hirst was instrumental in arranging the purchase of the site by Blue Lagoon Heritage, after starting a campaign when the previous owners withdrew in 2010.
At the time, Mr Hirst said he was under the impression developers wanted to keep the site mainly as it was and perhaps make it more accessible to people.
Mr Hirst, 34, of Watts Street, Horwich, said: "Now all of a sudden they are talking about a wedding venue? This is against what we want."
Mr Hirst added: "We just don't feel we have been included. There are no legal objections from us, we just really want to know what is going on.
"We have arranged to sit down with the developers and look at the plans."
Mr Hirst, who was given a Tower FM award in 2010 for his work on the Blue Lagoon campaign, said if the plans were not what the group wanted, he was ready to "rock and roll" with a renewed campaign.
Jonathan Vose, principal consultant at Walsingham Planning, has said the development would be "relatively small in scale".

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A week that started with so much promise for the Saint Leo University volleyball team as they earned the programs' first-ever national ranking ended with the Lions third-straight loss as they fell to 5th-ranked West Texas A&M 3-2 (20-25, 25-18, 20-25, 25-21, 17-15) in a five-game heartbreaker at the McArthur Center on the campus of Eckerd College.
After the tough loss to #4 Tampa last night, the Lions came out on fire in the early game as they breezed through the Lady Buffaloes to take game one. In what became a great back-and-forth battle, both teams would split victories in the first four sets, setting up the nail-biting deciding game.
Saint Leo (12-3) had all the momentum early in Game Five as they jumped out to a 10-5 lead, but that was immediately followed by a 7-2 Lady Buffalo rally that tied the score. Each team would then trade side-outs up to the 15th point when a Texas kill and a SLU attack error gave the match to the visitors.
Although on the losing side of the scoreboard, the Lions had four players post double figures in kills as sophomore Kaitlin McKenna led SLU with 16 kills and a .556 attack percentage. She was joined by Jenna Jordan, Audrey Starkebaum, and Leah Perry in double-digits for the evening.
The Lions, who out-blocked the visitors from Texas 18-to-7, were led defensively by McKenna who posted nine block assists and junior Chelsea Armer who pulled up 22 digs in the loss.
The Lions will head back into Sunshine State Conference play on Tuesday as they host Florida Tech at home. The match is scheduled to get underway at 7:00 p.m. at the Bowman Center on the campus of Saint Leo University.

A 54-YEAR-OLD man died after he slipped on ice and banged his head on a doorstep.
James Hurst, known as Jimmy, had spent a night at the Swan Hotel in Abbey Street, Accrington, before taking a taxi home to Worsley Street.
After being dropped off in Manchester Road late on Saturday night, Mr Hurst, who lived alone after the death of his mother, made his way down Worsley Street, but slipped just doors away from his home. His body was not found until 8am the next day.
Heath Vickery, 34, who lives next door to the house where Mr Hurst fell said: "We opened the curtains to find he had slipped and saw a body just lying there.
"His head had hit directly on the step.
"My wife Lisa saw him first and we were worried, so I went out and spoke to the police officer who was there.
"I would see Mr Hurst knocking about, but not to speak to."
Mr Hurst's nextdoor neighbour Paul Shaw said he was a 'chatty' man who was always pleasant.
The 25-year-old said: "I spoke to him when we were cleaning the car.
"His mum passed away about four weeks ago, so he lived alone.
"He was a nice chatty man, nice to talk to, and it is realy sad what has happened. It is really slippy along this street." DI Mark Vaughton said: "It is a very tragic incident that involved a man slipping on ice.
"A 54-year-old man who was a resident in Worsely Street was found at 8am on Sunday after falling and banging his head.
"He had been out drinking at the Swan Hotel before getting into a taxi and being dropped off on Manchester Road during the early hours of the morning.
"He was then walking down towards his home, where we believe he has slipped and fallen on the ice and banged his head on the doorstep of a property."

NOTE: This article contains graphic content that may be triggering for some readers.
SANTA ANA, California — A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim didn't put up a fight during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen."
The California Commission on Judicial Performance issued a report Thursday saying Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson's comments were inappropriate and a breach of judicial ethics.
Johnson is a former prosecutor in the Orange County district attorney's sex crimes unit. He issued an apology saying he was frustrated with a prosecutor during an argument in 2008 over the sentencing in the case before him compared to other more aggravated cases.
The case involved a man who threatened to mutilate the face and genitals of his ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver before committing rape, forced oral copulation, and other crimes.

Some reinforcements are coming to the Mets this evening, and not a moment too soon. Jason Bay is back, and Terry Collins says he'll be playing every day. Pedro Beato, who was excellent during his rehab stint, returns to aid the bullpem.
The casualties are Josh Satin, who didn't have an obvious role on the team anyway, and Chris Young, who is on Paternity Leave List for a few days because his wife just delivered.
So congratulations, Chris, and buckle up for the resumption of the Jason Bay Era! Here's hoping it goes better this time around. Figure the player to lose playing time is Andres Torres, not Kirk Nieuwenhuis; otherwise, Nieuwenhuis probably would have been sent to Triple-A so he could play regularly.
Interestingly, though: Bay isn't starting tonight. Hmm. This bears watching, for sure.
As for who will go when Young returns, well, let's see how Jon Rauch is feeling after his few days off.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
There is no evidence that significant learning can occur if you are not consciously aware of the process. Thus, learning while in deep sleep is not possible. Learning when you are barely asleep is possible, but it isn't very efficient because it's difficult to avoid waking up or falling into deep sleep. In any case, learning during light sleep only works for simple facts and the facts must be reinforced while awake.
Some studies show that you remember less if you study shortly after waking up, so it might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time in the morning before doing any memory-intensive tasks. Other studies show that people can remember information better if they go to sleep immediately after studying it. Perhaps this is because the mind continues to process the information during sleep.
Additionally, numerous studies have shown that you cannot remember material if it is presented in a subliminal manner. So, subliminal learning and subliminal advertising is not effective. When it comes down to it, there is no shortcut to learning the old fashioned way.

Australian shoppers will get their own version of America's online shopping phenomenon, Cyber Monday, when some retailers cut their online prices for 24 hours next month.
Australia's take on the online sale, called Click Frenzy, will actually begin on a Tuesday (November 20) rather than a Monday, and is expected to boost sluggish retail sales before Christmas. ''We're likening it to ''the Boxing Day sales on digital steroids,'' said organiser, Grant Arnott, from Power Retail, a service for online and multi-channel retailers.
In America, Cyber Monday, launched in 2006, has online sales from more than 700 retailers, and attracts 10 million shoppers. Last year, they spent $US1.25 billion ($1.22 billion) during the 24-hour sale.
Held on the Monday after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday was started so online retailers could capitalise on Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest day of the year for US shops.
It is now the biggest day for online sales in America and Mr Arnott hopes Click Frenzy will achieve the same result in Australia. He expects up to 200 retailers to take part and hopes to drive ''tens of millions'' of dollars of sales.
National Retail Association executive director, Trevor Evans, welcomed the idea on the back of ''really bad'' retail trade figures but feared international retailers could rob local shops of pre-Christmas sales.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Following 17 seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bill Prescott resigned Monday as chief financial officer of the NFL franchise to pursue new opportunities and challenges in his career, the team announced.
Prescott will remain as an advisor and assist Kelly Flanagan, the team's new vice president of finance and planning, in the transition to her new position with the Jaguars. Flanagan was promoted to vice president by team President Mark Lamping after serving the Jaguars as business planning manager for the past year.
"Bill was extremely important to the success of our purchase of the team in 2011, but his influence in establishing the franchise and creating a strong presence for the Jaguars in the community was certainly felt well before my time here in Jacksonville," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. "We owe Bill a debt of thanks and wish him all good things in the future."
"After the sale of the team, I was happy to stay on over the past year to help handle the transition of the team to the new ownership," Prescott said. "I have nothing but great memories and I've made friends for life. My wife, Kim, and I plan to stay in the Jacksonville area and continue to be advocates for a vibrant downtown and a growing economy in northeast Florida."
Flanagan, who grew up locally and is a graduate of the Episcopal School of Jacksonville, will serve the Jaguars in her new role by leading the team's financial planning and analysis efforts. She will continue to have responsibilities that include business planning, quantitative and analytical support of key revenue initiatives including ticket sales, corporate partnerships and in-stadium spending.

CHIPPENHAM Town had a return to action to forget as they slipped to a disappointing defeat at home to Banbury United today.
The Bluebirds began brightly but the opening half-hour was soon long forgotten as the visitors took advantage of an uncharacteristic mix-up to take a healthy lead into half-time, before killing the game in the second period to take all three points from Hardenhuish Park.
The first chance of the match fell to the visitors, with Kynan Isaac shooting tamely at Ben John, and then with eight minutes on the clock, Banbury's debutant keeper Warren Carter had to be at his most resourceful to deny Chippenham the opener.
Tom Knighton flicked the ball over his head, playing in Toby Osman, and his close-range drive was bravely deflected to safety by Carter, by way of his face.
Osman dragged a shot across the face of goal and soon afterwards, an exceptional first touch from Tom Knighton saw him race on to Jim Rollo's ball but Carter was equal to his strike.
On 23 minutes, Ashley Williams almost carved out a brilliant opener.
The Chippenham defender won the ball with a strong, diving challenge, played a one-two with Knighton, and then smacked a powerful effort that flew just past the upright from the edge of the area.
Despite all of the early pressure coming from the hosts, they were hit with a suckerpunch in the 29th minute as Banbury took the lead.
A deft, chipped pass from Chris Lait found Joseph N'Guessan unmarked in the area and the young United man brought the ball down with a neat piece of control before sliding the ball under the advancing John to make it 1-0.
N'Guessan threatened the Bluebirds again shortly afterwards when he got in on goal and when his shot was palmed away by John, the Bluebirds keeper bravely gathered the ball with Isaac looking to blast it home from point-blank range.
With three minutes of the half remaining, the visitors almost netted a fortunate second goal when Steve Casey's backpass bobbled up off the foot of John.
Banbury's Isaac charged it down but a wicked deflection saw the ball loop just wide of the post.
Unfortunately for the home side, that close shave didn't prevent them falling foul of another horror moment just before half-time, with United taking advantage of a mix-up between two of the most reliable members of Chippenham's back line to make it 2-0.
Casey had the ball on the edge of the area, opting not to clear and hoping for John to rush off his line to collect but whilst the pair waited for each other to act, Banbury's Isaac stole in and slid the ball into the bottom corner with ease.
Keeper John was furious and he directed his rage at Casey, removing one of his gloves and hurling it into the defender's face as the inquest began.
But referee Pater Lavelle chose not to take any action against the Bluebirds keeper, as his side went into half-time with a mountain to climb in the second period.
Nathan Rudge responded by swinging the axe at half-time, making three substitutions and revamping Chippenham's shape.
But the second period began quietly, with the two sides cancelling each other out in midfield.
With 64 minutes on the clock, Banbury's Albi Skendi danced past a host of challenges before poking a shot goalwards but his effort was off-target.
On the 70 minute mark, Chippenham's afternoon took another turn for the worse as they were reduced to ten men.
Alex Kite flung himself in to a hefty challenge on Isaac, injuring himself in the process and limping off the pitch.
Shortly afterwards, substitute Lee Phillips battled to keep hold of the ball on the right flank and lofted a cross in for Knighton to head goalwards but the effort was straight at the United keeper.
The half petered out into something of a non-affair, with no sign of a Bluebirds comeback.
With around five minutes to go, keeper John got down well to palm Michael Hopkins' dangerous cross away from the path of Wayne Blossom.
And with time running out, Knighton had one last chance when he flicked an effort towards goal but it was easily gathered by Carter.
CHIPPENHAM TOWN: Ben John, Iain Harvey (Adie Harris 45), Jim Rollo, Ashley Williams, Steve Casey (c), Alex Kite, Toby Osman (Dean Griffiths 45), Scott Lye, Alan Griffin (Lee Phillips 45), Tom Knighton, Brandon Barnes.

SOME of the paintings in Jonathan Trim's new exhibition, which opens this weekend, have travelled all over the country to be on display – but they've finally come home, in every sense of the word.
The exhibition, Salt in the Air, is a collection of work entirely inspired by the estuary. Displayed on the walls of Simon Fowler's Old Leigh gallery White Wall Space, overlooking their watery muse, there's something quite magical about the paintings.
As one of Leigh's most successful and well-known artists, Jonathan's work is heavily in demand. However, although he remains a Leigh Art Trail regular it is rare for his work to be on display in his home town otherwise."
He says: "The art trail is the only time I show the work here, but that's once a year and it's the only time people in Leigh get to see the work.
"The work goes out in galleries all over the place, so to have an exhibition about the Thames right on the Thames seems ideal. You can't get any closer to the Thames.
"It's a lovely opportunity and I'm really grateful I have got the chance to show the work."
Jonathan doesn't exclusively paint the estuary. He's also captivated by other landscapes including the River Stour in Suffolk, which captured the imagination of another well-known landscape artist – John Constable – and the areas of south west France.
But it's Leigh and it's surrounding views that are at the heart of his work.
He explains the paintings are manifestations of his deep love for and relationship with the stretch of coast, where he's lived all his life.
He says: "As a kid, I spent hours out there messing about. There are a lot of memories embedded in the work.
"I find it endlessly fascinating. It's a bit of a cliche, but it is constantly changing. It's magnificent. I've been in love with it all my life.
"Even after all these years, it takes my breath away. You feel you just have to paint it to express your feelings. The paintings are about expressions of feelings rather than exact topography."
Jonathan's love of painting started at a young age, and he has always been single-minded in his pursuit of his art.
He says: "As far back as I can remember I've always drawn and painted.
"When I was at school I just wanted to get to art college. It was the only thing I could imagine doing."
His passion for art is undented. He can't imagine a life without painting.
He says: "I am obsessed with painting. I get in the studio every day. If I spent time away from it I get irritable.
"I suppose it is a bit of a cathartic experience. I don't function as a human being if I'm not painting.
"It's what makes me a human being. I can't imagine not being an artist. I can't imagine looking at the world without making art."
As well as his evocative estuary renderings, there's something else that will fascinate visitors to the gallery – a selection of his sketchbooks.
Jonathan says: "I always use sketchbooks. Never photos. I draw in them, write in them and stick things in them. They're all about bringing back those feelings and those experiences."
He adds: "All the great landscape artists had something very individual to say.
"Constable was very intimately involved with a very small part of Suffolk and I'm very interested in that relationship with place. For me it's been the Thames estuary."

HOPE could be on the horizon for a couple who have been detained in a Filipino jail for more than five years.
Kevin Taylor, 48, stands accused of defrauding jobseekers with promises of employment in the UK along with wife Charlene.
The father-of three has been supported by his parents, Gerald and Marie, from Stratton, who have ploughed all their savings into attempting to speed the process along and secure bail arrangements for their son.
As successive hearings have stalled, the couple have been buoyed by the news that the case may now be at a stage to progress, but fear for Kevin's safety in the event he is released.
"We are just waiting now for Kevin to get some paperwork together," said Gerald. "He has been in prison for so long that his documentation like his visa and work permit has run out.
"We have to get those to the judge in 15 days before the case can progress. It is still in limbo until we can get past that.
"We will then have another court appearance for him to present those papers to the judge to make sure he is legitimately able to conduct business there and everything is above board.
"We are confident we will have the paperwork within 15 days, but this documentation should have been ready four years ago."
Gerald said he felt the legal system was set up to protract cases like his son's.
"We had three lawyers in the beginning and they took us all for a great amount of money," he said. "We asked the foreign office over there to provide us with a lawyer when all our money ran out. They have given us a public attorney lawyer so we do not have to pay for it any more.
"They seem to string these cases out to extract more money out of them."
Conversations with his new lawyer have led Kevin to believe the end may be in sight.
"He is hoping that he should be out by June if all goes well," said Gerald. "The problem is that if he comes out he has got nowhere to go. "He has got no clothes or accommodation, and only has the clothes he is wearing on his back. We will have to get him back to the UK somehow. "He can't stay out there because he will not be able to work. They would both be targeted all the time.
"This should have been sorted a very, very long time ago, but the system out there is so slow and outdated."
North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson has been working with the foreign office to put pressure on the Filipino authorities.
"It is extremely frustrating how unresponsive they have been to the pressure that we have applied," he said.
"This has placed a huge amount of strain on Mr Taylor and his family both emotionally and financially. I am working with the UK government to apply as much pressure as we can.
"Apparently his lawyer now feels he has all the necessary information they need to progress which is why they are pushing for this latest hearing. We are now in the hands of the Filipino legal system.
"It has been an extremely distressing saga for the family and we will continue to offer our full support."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/9/2014 (1081 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On the cusp of the playoffs, Goldeyes pitcher Nick Hernandez has plenty to say about his team, about their hot hitting, tight pitching and vivacious camaraderie.
There's one thing Hernandez won't say: In this opening series against the Lincoln Saltdogs, the Goldeyes have the better team.
The numbers say that. The Fish finished the year atop the North Division at 63-37 while the Saltdogs clinched the Central Division at 54-46. But the playoffs are a whole different thing, Hernandez mused, as he stood for a media scrum at Shaw Park Tuesday afternoon. As far as he's concerned, the teams will meet this week with a clean slate. Zero-and-zero, with at least three games to play.
"Baseball is a weird game," said Hernandez, who was recently named the league's top pitcher. "You come in, you think you're going to win... like this year, we didn't think Amarillo was very good, and they put up 11 in the first two innings off of us in the first game of the season. It's baseball, the ball rolls differently every day. It's a round bat and a round ball and they tell you to square it up. So it's something that we'll never understand."
That said, there are a lot of things the Goldeyes pitchers definitely understand as they prepare to open the series at home tonight. They know they'll have to shut down Saltdogs first baseman Ian Gac, a fearsome hitter who's good for a home run in just about every 12 at-bats.
"We definitely can't let him beat us," Hernandez said. "If there's guys on base, you gotta try and pitch around him. You can't give him a pitch to hit."
It's not just Gac, though. In the Saltdogs order he's preceded by Matt Forgatch, who batted .253, but can commit grand theft robbery if he gets on base. And right after Gac is Brian Joynt, a tough outfielder who performs well under pressure, batting a team-high .309 with two outs and runners in scoring position. The Fish know the sting of that one-two punch: through seven games this season, Gac batted .464 with eight RBIs against the Fish, and Joynt hit .462 with four RBIs.
Hernandez has a bit of an advantage, in that he'll get to see plenty of those two before he takes the mound for Game 3 on Saturday in Lincoln. Meanwhile, fellow lefty Chris Salamida will open the series tonight, and Ethan Hollingsworth will start Thursday night. All three have a season ERA at or below 3.38, and none of them give batters much to hit. Their season walks-and-hits per innings pitched are bunched up together: Hollingsworth at 1.14, Salamida and Hernandez at 1.16.
This is the formidable trio the Goldeyes are counting on to start the playoffs off right.
"It always comes down in the post-season to who's going to pitch it the best and who's going to defend the field," manager Rick Forney said. "If you can't pitch and you can't defend the field in the post-season, then it's tough to win because you don't see many 14-12 slugfests."
Which is too bad, because the Goldeyes have the hitters to do just that if they got a chance. Though Casey Haerther had an underwhelming August, hitting .270 through the month, it speaks to his mid-season dominance that he still finished tied with shortstop Tyler Kuhn for the second-best batting average in the league at .360. If he can get back to his regular 2014 form in this series, then the Fish order will be awfully hot to handle.
Then again, everything is tighter in the playoffs for hitters and pitchers. Umpires might give a little less leeway than they would on a lazy July afternoon, Hernandez said, and every pitch has to be sound.
"In post-season play, you're not going to see a two-oh cookie fastball down the middle like you might see in a regular-season game," Hernandez said. "The pitches, everything is magnified in post-season play. Everything is taken up a notch. We're ready for that."
Now they'll have to show it, starting tonight at Shaw Park. It was Forney's call to open the series with two at home and wrap up on the road. The Goldeyes could have chosen the other way around. The Fish had a strong road record this season, but since they ended the year in Winnipeg the manager thought it would be better to aim for a strong playoff start at home.
"We're the same team at home and on the road, but we're not the same team when we get off the bus," Forney said.
And if there's one thing Forney has learned from all his years in baseball, and from the last time he led this team to a championship in 2012?
"You're not going to do anything different in the post-season than you did in the regular season," Forney said. "You don't want to try and change who you are."
-- -- --
Though the rain splurged down on Tuesday's batting practice, there was a decidedly sunny mood around the Goldeyes office after general manager Andrew Collier was named the 2014 American Association executive of the year. It's not surprising, since the Fish not only topped the league attendance figures again this season, but also hosted the successful All-Star Festival at Shaw Park in late July.
Collier can just add this latest to his collection of hardware -- back when the Fish were playing in the Northern League, he won the executive of the year award six times between 2002 and 2009.

What exciting news ….. Forces War Records have just put online 40,000+ Home Guard Officers Records. People of a "certain age" will remember fondly the tv programme Dad's Army with Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Jones and "stupid boy"!! However recent research has shown that the Home Guard was made up of a larger number of young men than first thought. These Home Guard were either too young, in reserved occupations or not fit enough for active service. The men, young and old, who made up the Home Guard were a valuable asset to the defence of the United Kingdom, if there had been an invasion they would have been called upon to undertake dangerous operations to repel the enemy. We may have enjoyed the humour of Captain Mainwaring and his platoon, but in reality it was a serious business.
The Home Guard records are usually enrolment forms, award recommendations and cabinet papers and date from 1940 – 1944. These records have been transcribed and indexed so are easy to search and use. This particular dataset is for Officers only, but hopefully it will be followed for the lower ranks. When researching ancestors who might have been in the Home Guard bear in mind that initially they were known as the LDV, Local Defence Volunteers.
A typical entry will give
Gallantry Awards
Duty Location
Resided Town & County
When joined Home Guard
Forces War Records is the only website to offer this dataset and I am sure it will generate a lot of interest amongst genealogists. I must say that the more I look at Forces War Records the more I find to like about the site. It's easy to use and the cross matching with information about Regiments, Bases and Ships adds valuable background history. The site has records dating back to 1350.

Looking Back: Miranda Kerr
Though fresh off a flight, Hough arrived for her shoot as sparkly-eyed as ever. In the 24-year-old's trove: delicate, feminine jewelry and brightly-hued shoes—some of them her own designs, produced in collaboration with e-tailer Sole Society. And when she stepped in front of the camera, we got a peek inside her dynamic life: Hollywood's reigning dancing-singing-acting queen (Dancing With the Stars, Footloose, Rock of Ages) playfully got a move on while our photog snapped away with fervor. All in a day's work, right?
Here, Hough wears a lace Chloé blouse.
"I initially cut my hair for the movie Safe Haven, and it was the best thing I've ever done. It's much more sassy and free. I feel this is really who I am right now," says Hough.

text: frob 44911 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 Over the years, I've been convinced that indie developers should not really focus on DRM, focusing on paying customers. Also over the course of several years I've also suggested quite a few times in the business forums that indies should even consider intentionally releasing their games on piracy sites, possibly with added in-game ads or other incentives to legally purchase the game. Looks like somebody finally did that with an added ironic, and very beautiful, twist. A game studio called GreenHeart Games developed "Game Dev Tycoon", a game where you run a virtual software development shop. They released it DRM-free for legal purchases. They also seeded a special build for pirates. In the pirate-released build, the virtual game dev studio does well for a while and then starts to have their products get hit by piracy. The studio's blog post is one of the best things I've read all year: http://www.greenheartgames.com/2013/04/29/what-happens-when-pirates-play-a-game-development-simulator-and-then-go-bankrupt-because-of-piracy/ Reading the forum posts where game pirates complain about piracy and ask for new forms of DRM is just incredible. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOMBALL, Texas - A large cross in a northwest Harris County park is igniting a debate.
The 12-foot-high cross has stood in Spring Creek Park in Tomball since the late 1970s. It was erected to mark the graves of slaves and freed slaves.
But the park is owned by the county and a group based in Washington, D.C. said the cross does not belong on public ground.
The organization called Americans United for Separation of Church and State cites a clause of the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
The group believes the cross is a constitutional violation and sent a letter to Harris County asking that it be removed.
County attorneys said their lawyers believe the cross does not violate the constitution because it was not placed their for religious reasons.

Did you know?
In 1922 a mysterious 'sea monster' washed up on Margate's shores and made headlines worldwide.
Margate Beach is the sort of beach where someone will offer to help set up your umbrella, invite you to a game of volleyball or catch hold of your over-excited toddler who's making a beeline straight for the surf - it's a family kind of place.
Loved for its picture-postcard tropical scenery of coconut palms, grassy embankments, dunes and golden sand, Margate is a 1km-long holiday haven on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. Jam-packed over Christmas, Easter and school holidays, avoid Margate if you hanker after a quiet sun spot to read a good book. But if swimming, bodyboarding, surfing, scuba diving, beach parties and festivals are your thing, then Margate is the beach for you.
All the usual Blue Flag facilities – ablutions, good water quality and lifeguards – are in place, with extensive shark netting to ensure safe bathing. A handy paved ramp leads to the promenade for those in wheelchairs or pushing prams.
Kids keep busy for hours in the water amusement park and swimming pools, or go rock-pooling and snorkeling before exploring Margate lagoon in paddle boats and canoes. The hip and happening crowd love to hang out in the restaurants, shops and outdoor cafés overlooking the beach before partying the night away in adjacent clubs and bars.
Water sports are a popular pastime on this KwaZulu-Natal South Coast beach. The pier is a favorite fishing spot, and from November game fishermen pursue schools of tunny, pike and yellowtail out to sea. Offshore of Margate Beach, many shark species congregate around the Protea Banks, a world-renowned dive site. Margate also offers plenty of swell and excellent surf breaks – perfect for surfers, bodyboarders and sea-kayakers.
Between May and July thousands of sharks, seabirds and bottlenose dolphins feast on millions of migrating sardines during the annual Sardine Run and humpback whales are spotted close to shore en route to their breeding grounds off Mozambique.

How to get here
Fly into King Shaka International Airport or the small local Margate Airport. Hire a car or pre-arrange for your tour operator or accommodation provider to collect you.
Best time to visit
November to December is the height of summer and the local school holiday season. The beach is packed but there is plenty of organised entertainment over this time.
Around the area
Play at Southbroom Golf and Country Club; Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve offers adrenaline sports and a hair-raising gorge swing; visit Lake Eland Game Reserve with its 4.5-km long zipline and the Pure Venom Snake Park.
Tours to do
A number of Margate coach tours take visitors inland to the Valley of a Thousand Hills and to the Drakensberg mountains.
Get around
Self-drive is ideal, but during the peak holiday period in December, it's best to use public transport or walk down to the beach if you're staying nearby.
What to pack
Sunscreen, swimming costume, hat, camera, binoculars, and fishing rod. Scuba gear, surf boards, bikes and the like can be hired at the beach.
Where to stay
From camping to five-star hotels, Margate offers the full gamut of accommodation options.
What to eat
Dozens of restaurants cater for every food preference, but seafood and curry are always a good bet. The Waffle House in nearby Ramsgate is not to be missed.
What's happening
The Sardine Festival between May and June brings spectacular displays of marine life with associated street entertainment and markets.
Best buys
African curios sold by pavement traders.

Theory Fall 2014
Fall was just the second season that designer Olivier Theyskens showed under the Theory label exclusively, without a mention of Theyskens. "I was born with a love of tailoring that's now coming out of me," the designer said backstage after the show. "When I think of Theory, I think of excellence in shirts and pants, but I really feel there's space for a bit of lyricism. It's very neat and clean and engineered, but people who know me know that this lyrical element and sensitivity is something that I love. The way those two things are mixed together is very important in this collection," he said.
So how were they mixed? With great ease, actually. If a look was strict on top—belted or nipped in the waist, as most of them were—then the pant leg was wider and more relaxed; the crisp, technical fabrics used for outerwear and sweatshirts were put with soft chiffon skirts; one long, lean jacket, which was shown three ways throughout the course of the show, but buttoned firmly every time, came in a flirtier version embroidered with floral-y sequins. Hard and soft; tailored and fluid; Theory (the line) and Theyskens (the designer). From the front row, the relationship between the two looked not just functional, but very smart and saleable.
When asked about the longer proportions of coats, jackets, and dresses over pants, as best exhibited in the show's first look, Theyskens confessed: "I've been working on Theory for a while now, and that look I've had in my mind for years, ever since I started. It is a dream of a pant for me," he said. Why the big reveal right now? "Because it feels like the time for that kind of proportion. It's so long, it actually makes you feel stronger, taller." Cheers to that.

Topic: Losing a parent at a young age...
So as some of you know, I don't frequent this site often. But I have found some comfort in it as I have continued to struggle lately with the loss of my mother. I am coming up on 4 months since she has passed, and one year since the day we found out she had cancer, and it just doesn't seem to get any easier.
I come on here sometimes to read stories, and to find how others are dealing with the loss of their loved ones, and I just cry. Your stories are amazing, and as diffficult if not more than mine, and I still find myself feeling so alone. My mom passed at the young age of 54, and I feel like she had so much life left.
My struggles seem endless these days, as sometimes I don't even know where to turn. I am at a loss for words sometimes, as I just can't seem to figure out what the next step.
My sister turned 30 this year, and I will soon turn 27. And I sometimes I can't bare the idea of life without my mom or all that she will miss. It hurts so much sometimes its hard to breathe. And then there is my Dad. He and my mom were married 33 years, and to wake up every day, without her by his side is even harder than any of us imagined. Sometimes I don't know how to help him cope or how to make it easier, when I can't even make it easier for myself. I am so scared of moving forward without her and can't bare the thought of the moments that will be some of the most important days of my life and how she won't be there to guide me through it all.
Sometimes I feel my days are filled more and more with sadness and less with the happy life I am sure she would want me to live. I get up everyday, I go to work, and I do what I should, but I admit that I feel like there is not always much emotion behind it all and that sometimes I think about wanting to stay in bed all day.
Does it ever feel less numb?

We found this in my Great Grandpa's warehouse.
It appears to be a porcelain sign and one side of the flange style sign has a black Monarch range and the other side has a Blue range. there is some rust on the sign but no holes we have come to the conclusion upon looking at different ads on the Monarch Malleable website this is approximately from the 1913 era. Could anyone out there give me any more information... even what something like this is worth. ( i posted this yesterday but was deleted due to picture quality- hope these are better images!)

Spring 2013 Trend Guide
With awards season officially in full swing (Golden Globes! Grammys! Oscars!), ELLE.com tapped stylist Annabel Tollman for a special guest-blog on adding red-carpet glamour to everyday looks. The NYC-based British fashion lover started her Tumblr in 2011, capitalizing on her signature Old Hollywood aesthetic. Tollman lives up to her motto (an Edith Head quote)—"You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it"—for her day job, which includes working with clients such as Scarlett Johansson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Liv Tyler, as well as projects undertaken as style editor for The Aesthete, a digital monthly magazine about arts and culture. Dreaming up fashion fantasies also happens to be one of Tollman's specialties. "I'm all about wearing beautiful and fun evening clothes during the day," she says. "You shouldn't just leave them for 'best': They're meant to be enjoyed!"
Here, Tollman grabs coffee in L'Wren Scott.
ELLE: How did you develop your knack for red carpet style?
AT: I don't particularly like day clothing: evening is much more appealing to me. I've grown into it—I used to be a lot more rock and roll. But once I realized the potential of a fur coat and high heels, I've been all about figuring out how to wear evening clothes during the day as often as possible. Ideally, wouldn't you always want to be wearing heels? Besides: things are only things. They're meant to be enjoyed. It's a similar philosophy to using the good china every day.
The 15 Best Red Carpet Dresses, Ever
